The emperor was furious when he heard the voice of opposition. There was a famine in the northwest and a war in the north of the desert. Someone would always tell him "no, no." When will it be done? !

"Your Majesty, someone needs to guard the northwest, otherwise there may be troublesome people!" The official knelt down and kowtowed.

"Furthermore, the soldiers and horses don't move food and grass first. Now that the national treasury is short of money and a sum of money has just been allocated to relieve the disasters in the Northwest, the rest is not enough to support the army to march and fight!"

The emperor laughed angrily, pointed at the official and scolded: "Well, you are the Minister of the Household Department. Before the northwest needed relief money, you must do it. Now people are going to hit the city gate. Why, you let the big Did you open the door and come directly to take my head?!"

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, but I have no such intentions!" Hubu Shangshu kowtowed a few times!

All the examinees in the hall were as quiet as cicadas, and the emperor laid down millions of corpses in a rage, so it is not appropriate to touch the mold at this time.

"Where's the southern army?" The emperor calmed down for a while and realized that what Shangshu Hubu said was indeed the truth, and asked expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, it's a long way to the south, and the capital really can't afford 50 troops!" General Yang replied sullenly.

What happened in Mobei was unexpected. General Qian made great military exploits and became famous far and wide.General Qian was also a good player in the army since he was a child, marching and fighting.

There are no more than three or four generals who can handle the matter, and each of them guards the side and cannot leave easily, so he can only find other generals from the capital to lead the battle.

Now he has the highest status as a general in Beijing, but he is getting old and gradually feels unable to do what he wants, and it is dangerous to go here, and he does not know if he will be able to come back.

General Yang suddenly remembered the poem written by candidate Zhong Chu just now, "Lord Drunk Lying on the Battlefield, Lord Mo Xiao, how many people have fought in ancient times", and felt a little sad.

Unless the world is peaceful and they can die, the shroud of horse leather is the best destination.

"Since you can't get it out, then levy it! For the loyalty of the king, no matter whether it is a commoner, aristocratic family or a relative of the emperor, who is over 20 years old, they all need to go to the army and go to the battlefield, and I have to give it to me." [-] people."

The emperor made a final decision, and finally got in the mood to read the exam papers.

Everyone present has different thoughts, the battlefield is ruthless, there are fourteen-year-old sad faces in the family, and there are no children and daughters in the family who are secretly happy.Swords have no eyes, and no one wants their children to die.

Zhong Chu frowned intently. Candidates who passed the routine test did not need to go to war.According to the emperor, if all the relatives of the emperor went to war, they might not be spared!

The emperor read a few papers, and marked the ones he thought were acceptable for the eunuchs around him to hold.Picking up another paper, he glanced over and suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"It's a good sentence, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", and this kind of passionate man is needed at this time!" The emperor was excited when he saw it. This policy theory did not satisfy him the most, but this sentence made him empathize with him.

"Where is Zhong Chu?"

Zhong Chu inexplicably felt his heart beating faster. He knew that his strategy and theory could not be too eye-catching, at most average, and the emperor could not designate him as the number one scholar.

This sentence is borrowed from the words of the ancestors. Just now, such a thing happened again, and the emperor called him at this time, maybe it is not a good thing!

"Student Zhong Chuzai!"

He stood up and bowed to the emperor.

"Okay, he is indeed a good man of our country! Zhong Chu, I order you to be General Xizhong and follow General Yang out of the city to Mobei. You are willing."

The emperor felt that Zhong Chu looked like a general, with a dark and strong face, and when he stood on the battlefield, the enemy would be scared when he saw him.

What's more, his policy theory is not as arrogant as other civil servants, but he has a lot of knowledge about generals. It is better to join the army. If he can come back, he will be rich and rich. If he can't come back...

"Chen Zhongchu takes orders!" Shit!Not to mention fighting, he has never even killed a chicken, and now he is asked to kill, to watch others kill, to watch people kill!

Zhong Chu suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes, and almost fainted.

If he had known today, he shouldn't have taken the exam in the first place, so he had directly signed up to be a leader, and he would die first.

I don't know if his parents can bear the news after hearing the news!

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!" A censor jumped out and said, "He is just a young boy with yellow hair, and it might be inappropriate to let him lead the army to fight!"

The emperor's face turned cold when he heard this, and the knife swished at the speaker with cold eyes.

"Don't let him go, don't you want to go?"

The censor silenced his voice and retreated silently.

Zhao Xiaomian wanted to come out and say something but was held back by Li Yizhi. He looked at Li Yizhi anxiously, and Li Yizhi shook his head slightly.

Jinkou Yuyan, the emperor can't change what the emperor said at will, let alone this is not a child's play!

This matter was exposed by the emperor lightly and lightly, and then he took the review paper and announced that Nan Feiyan was the number one scholar, Li Yizhi and Zhao Xiaomian tied for second place, and Tanhua was a handsome young man named Feng Xiang.

After the dynasty was over, the emperor ordered the chief eunuch to call Zhong Chu, and the two talked for half an hour in the imperial study before letting Zhong Chu out, and asked Li Fu, the chief eunuch, to personally bring the reward and send Zhong Chu back.

Zhong Chu felt like he was being shot while standing, and he wanted to cry without tears!Although the emperor just said all kinds of benefits inside and outside, but he still has to have that life to get it!Who knows if he'll get shot in the ass...

When they arrived at Zhong's house, Zhong's father and Zhong's mother heard the emperor's decree to seal him personally. Ben happily knelt down to receive the decree. When he heard that the content was to send his son to the battlefield, Zhong's mother passed out directly.

Li Fu actually sympathized with Zhong Chu during a period of war and chaos. In all dynasties, there has never been a civil servant in the Jinluan Palace who was appointed as a military general by the imperial decree.

It is said that it is rich and noble, but no one knows that it is the head on the waistband, and it may die at any time.

Companion to the king is like companion to the tiger. When the emperor gets excited, he doesn't play cards according to common sense. It's unlucky to catch anyone.

"You don't have to worry too much about Zhong Lang. Your Majesty's great kindness values ​​you. When you come back from a victorious battle, you may be granted the title of Lord Marquis."

Li Fu comforted him, and Zhong Chu took a heavy purse and stuffed it into his hand.

"I'm about to go to war, and I'm going to judge the general manager to say a few more words of kindness to the emperor."

"Good talk, good talk."

He took the purse casually, and as for the kind words, he would understand Li Fu even if he didn't say anything.

After seeing off Li Fu, Zhong Chu returned to the main courtyard, Zhong's mother was crying, but Zhong's father was comforting with nice words, but also secretly wiped away tears.

The emperor wanted their son to die. Since ancient times, no emperor has asked Xinke Jinshi to abandon literature and pursue martial arts.

"Son, let's not go to war, okay?!"

When Mother Zhong saw Zhong Chu coming, she hugged him and wailed bitterly, until she hiccupped and didn't stop.

Zhong Chu felt sorry for his parents, but the imperial decree was hard to disobey.

"Dog Emperor, Faint Lord!"

"Mother!" Zhong Chu hastily called out to the angry mother of Zhong, now his house is on the cusp of storms, and there are ears in the uneven partition wall.These words must be heard by interested people. The emperor will not pursue the matter now, but if the old account is settled after he leaves... Lin Ruhai is not in the capital, and the Qian family is all female relatives in the capital!

Mother Zhong also understands that the imperial decree is hard to disobey, and Zhong Chu's life is over if he resists the decree.In the future, let alone being an official, it will be difficult even to be a great Confucian.

She regretted it, if she knew that she should have stopped her son today and let him be a wealthy and idle person for the rest of his life.All the glorious ancestors, all the wealth and splendor are bullshit.

Father Zhong looked ten years older in worry, drinking tea without speaking, and the servants moved quietly.

"Let your mother prepare something for you, we will wait for you in the capital when you come back."

"What are you preparing for? My son won't go anywhere." Mother Zhong wept as she spoke. "You lazy girls, why don't you hurry up and pack your luggage for your uncle, and use me to do it!?"

Mother Zhong wiped away her tears and told the girl to pack up the luggage, and sewed him an inner garment overnight, and sewed thin gold and silver pieces on the seams.Thousands of times told Zhong Chu not to take it off or pass it through other people's hands. Zhong Chu understood her painstaking efforts and carefully wrote down every sentence.

When Zhong Chu saw it at last, he almost didn't laugh.This is not going to war, this is going to travel!

There are two big carts full of things, and I don’t know what they are!

Father Zhong silently asked people to dismantle everything, looking here and there.

In the cold weather in Mobei, bring three thick padded jackets, the face hurts when the wind blows, and you must bring two cloaks.You should bring pants that are convenient for marching and fighting, so you should bring the leather pants made of wolf fur that Lu Ming gave you, and the clothes should be warm with fleece.There are also two sets of summer clothes, and two sets in winter and spring.

When going out to fight, you must not forget to write and read books. You should bring three lonely books and two sets of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Carry banknotes and silver with you, this thing is easy to make people jealous, it's better to be careful, don't expose your wealth, don't make it public.

Picking and picking, and finally packing out a box of things.

Zhong Chu didn't seem to have any problems, he was a freshly-baked general of Xizhong after all, he didn't need to walk with his own horse, and it was not a problem to bring a box.

In the end, Father Zhong secretly stuffed Zhong Chu with a sharp dagger that came from nowhere.

"This is the treasure that my father got when I was young. I have been carrying it with me all these years, and you are holding it for self-defense. I don't ask you to make contributions, but I only hope that you will return safely. No matter what, you are the most beloved and proud of your mother and me child!"

"My son will return safely!"

Zhong Chu's heart was sore, and he didn't dare to guarantee his final outcome without being on the battlefield. Now he was just comforting his parents.

At that time, we can only try our best to save our lives and prevent them from sending white-haired people to black-haired people!

Jia Mansion on the other side.

"Congratulations, sister. I heard from the servants in the mansion that your senior brother has been awarded the champion of martial arts and the general of Xizhong Lang, and he will go to war in two days."

Shi Xiangyun arrived before the sound came, and the little girl's voice was clear and sweet, but the content made Daiyu startled and dropped the book in her hand to the ground!

"Where did my sister hear other people's nonsense, so she just stared at my nonsense. My brother is a civil servant, how could he be named the champion of martial arts? My sister must have fallen asleep!" Dai Yufu picked up the books on the floor and put them away. Turning his head angrily.

I don't know what happened to Shi Xiangyun, but he likes to tell her all bad things.

She was flustered for a while, she just wanted to call someone to find out if it was true, so she didn't have the heart to deal with Shi Xiangyun.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Today my uncle came back from court and told my aunt about it. Now that it's spread all over the capital, I'm kind enough to tell you. If you don't believe me, you can ask your good brother yourself." Shi Xiangyun was arrested Without face, he flung his sleeves and ran away.

As soon as he left Daiyu's yard, he saw Baoyu hurriedly approaching, his face turned from anger to grievance.

"Love brother!"

Baoyu was also taken aback when he saw Shi Xiangyun.

"Sister Yun is here, why don't you go to my yard? The servants in front said you were here, and I said why I didn't see you. It turned out that I came to Sister Lin. Usually, you come to see me when you see your grandmother."

The two grew up together since they were young, and they occasionally had a friendship of combing their hair and dressing up. Now that Shi Xiangyun came to Daiyu first, Baoyu was still not used to it.

"I just offended Sister Lin. She will be angry with me now. I just wanted to go to your place to relieve my boredom." Shi Xiangyun has a carefree personality, so what can he say? Talk about stabbing her.

Relying on his young age, he went up and took Baoyu's hand and was affectionate.
