Come on, Your Highness

Chapter 239 Armor

The name of the paper is vague, and the answer to mathematics is unique. Correcting is simple and fast. He Xichao asked You Ziqing and Shao Yuan to correct each other and check it. After they finish correcting, he will conduct a final random check.

During this period, he reviewed the policy theory answer sheets.

This number is a bit too much, but he didn't plan to correct it right away, but first took a rough look, and picked out the papers that had something to say and the answer was refined to the point, and the two of them would evaluate again after Xiao Hong came back in the evening.

An afternoon passed like this.

Xiao Hong didn't show up today, not because he insisted on his identity, but because he was really busy.

As a novice commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he needs to know too many people and facts. It is not at all just to read military books at ordinary times, but to listen to them in court.

The news from the northern border will be sent back by fast horses every day. Although it is delayed due to the long distance, it can be known from the urgent report that the Huns are approaching the city, and it is estimated that they have already attacked.

Fortunately, Emperor Tiangan had already ordered several frontier troops in the northwest to support the Zhenbei Army at any time.

In the evening, Xiao Hong came back wearing a majestic armor, and walked into the room bang bang bang bang bang bang bang all the way.

"Where's Xichao?" Asked as soon as he came back, Mother Shen, who already knew the inside story, couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Master Xichao is in the study."

Hearing this, Xiao Hong was about to go to the study room, but he took a step, then turned back, raised his head and chest up to Nanny Shen and the others, stood up straight and asked, "Is this king handsome? Is he particularly mighty and domineering?"

Is there any need to say this?

The three nodded in succession.

Eunuch Chang praised: "His Royal Highness's attire has the aura of a man who is in charge of everyone. It is very majestic."

Xiao Hong agrees very much: "That is, I am not bragging. If I was born in the general family, I will definitely be an ever-victorious general with a great reputation."

The three of them burst out laughing immediately.

Xinrui said: "Your Highness, mighty is mighty, but it looks quite heavy, why don't you change it first, why do you need to wear this in the mansion?"

Xiao Hong snorted, and refused: "Not busy, I haven't shown it to Xi Chao yet, if he sees him, he will be fascinated by me, ah, what should I do if I rush forward excitedly?"

He said he was distressed, but his eyes were shining with anticipation, and he walked briskly to the study wearing his armor, looking like he couldn't wait to throw himself into his arms, leaving the three behind helpless to each other.

Xiao Hong came late today, and He Xichao had already read the papers first. Hearing the heavy sound coming from far and near outside, he raised his head wonderingly, and saw the door was pushed open forcefully.

He pushed the door open and entered, and the moment he looked up at He Xichao, the latter suddenly thought of a line of poetry: The yellow sand wears golden armor in every battle, and if you don't break Loulan, you will never return it.

All of Xiao Hong's innocence and innocence disappeared in the cold armor, leaving only the heroic spirit between his brows and the resolute eyes.

The big boy transformed into a mature man in an instant, and it was fixed in He Xichao's heart, as if he could immediately imagine the scene of a million soldiers fighting against the enemy from this man.

To be honest, Xiao Hong at this time shocked him very much.

The military uniforms of later generations look quite heroic, but they are far inferior to the armor and cloak of this era, which makes people feel excited. When drawing out the sword and pointing at the enemy in front, it is like an invulnerable God of War, looking down at him.

But that was only for a moment, when Xiao Hong's cheerful voice came out of his mouth, all the pictures He Xichao had imagined in his brain suddenly shattered into pieces.

"Xi Chao, look quickly, your brother is not handsome, domineering, majestic, isn't he very heroic? Do you want to rush over and fall into brother's arms?"

As Xiao Hong spoke, he opened his arms and patted the polished breastplate on his chest, and stretched his helmeted head forward, showing a mean expression, winking at him.

He Xichao sighed softly, raised his hand to support his forehead, feeling a little tired.

But he didn't want to dampen Xiao Hong's joy, so he got up and walked over, looking at the armor.

The color is gold and red, shining with a metallic luster. He Xichao touched it with his hands, and every piece of scales on it was smooth and round for protection.It is connected with the best leather, and the stitching is tight, and it is difficult to find the seam.

He asked: "Where did you get it from? It looks pretty good. The Ministry of Industry probably didn't knock out your armor so quickly?"

It takes at least a few months or even a year to make a good pair of armor, but Xiao Hong decided to go north in less than a month, and the Ministry of Industry couldn't make it even if it worked day and night.

"Father gave me his."

So that's the case, He Xichao nodded, with this pair of armor on his body, Xiao Hong's chance of surviving was greatly improved even if he went to the battlefield to fight.

However, he took a closer look: "The style is really magnificent, but does the emperor's armor fit you well? Doesn't it feel small?"

The full length of Xiao Hong's eating was on the head, and his height had already surpassed that of Emperor Tiangan. Even if the armor was loose, the size of the two of them was not suitable.

Xiao Hong raised his arm and said, "I have taken it to the Ministry of Industry and changed it, and it is just right to wear now, but I have to wear thick clothes when I go to the north, and I am afraid that it will not stretch out."

"Then why don't you take it and change it quickly, what are you doing wearing it back?" He Xichao was speechless.

Xiao Hong muttered: "I want you to see it. It's the first time your man wears it, so I'm so excited." Speaking of this, Xiao Hong was a little unhappy, "Everyone praised me when they saw it, my pair of eyes The whole place is full of worship, but you don’t have any expression, so you are too calm? Isn’t it good-looking?”

When this feeling came to Beishang, after talking about it with Shen Momo and the others, he let himself go a little bit, and he could say all sorts of nonsense.

He Xichao glanced at his petite appearance, and didn't care about his verbal advantage, so he gave a low laugh and said, "I thought you wanted me to take it off."

He Xichao led the flushed and distracted Xiao Hong from the study into the bedroom, and called Xiaodunzi Xiaoxuanzi to help Xiao Hong change the armor.

He also verbally teased Xiao Hong, how could he untie such a heavy thing by himself!

Xiao Hong came back to his senses when his body lightened, and he thought he was going to take it off, why did he ask others to help?Turning around, he saw that He Xichao was trying to lift the weight, and finally hit the ground with a bang, which was not surprising at all.

She shook her hand and looked at him innocently.

Uh... a frail scholar, with no strength to restrain a chicken, sincerely does not deceive others.

The armor was put away and sent to the Ministry of War. Xiao Hong and He Xichao nestled in the study, flipping through the selected papers.

"I thought the Imperial Academy were all pedantic and stubborn guys, but it seems that the answers are not bad." Xiao Hong took the paper and looked at He Xichao, "They are getting close to you, are you secretly giving them a little trouble? ? Look, you did pretty well in math, too."

"No." He Xichao replied.

"real or fake?"

"I'm also in the Imperial Academy, so I can't help but answer questions when I ask them?" He Xichao said naturally, "Besides, those who can rank among the best in the imperial examinations have good learning ability. It's not normal to stand out. If there is no special right Interested in mathematics, the level is about the same, and the comparison is only the comprehension ability, you see, the results of mathematics papers range from high to low, and the top three in the previous imperial examinations accounted for more than half."

It makes sense, Xiao Hong has a deep impression of Yang Su and the others. When He Xichao was expelled, he liked them very much when they jointly performed together. He has no objection to employing these people.

"What about this? Yin Congsheng's answers to the questions are also very comprehensive, in line with reality, and he seems to be a talent. What was the situation investigated at that time, the last Tanhualang, he is now a Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Punishment, but... "

In Xiao Hong's memory, He Xichao said: "He is from Prince Li's residence, and his wife is the cousin of the third young lady of the Wang family."

"Yes, shall we use it?"

"use."

"Ah? Don't brush it down?"

"You are about to go to the northern border. For any recruitment, one of these people will be taken there. The journey is far away, and they have completely lost contact with this side. Are you still worried about making tricks under our noses? The north is bitter cold, the environment Bad, you can best see a person's state of mind and ability, if he is really outstanding, it doesn't matter if he is promoted, at worst, he can be put in another place in the future. Besides, he has been reused by you and branded as the Prince's Mansion, do you think Xiao Ming will still Trust him? Even Mr. Wang Ge is not a party of three princes who went all the way to the black!"

When He Xichao said this, Xiao Hong nodded in agreement: "It's always more promising to hang out with me than with the third child. There is no rule that you can't remarry, right?"

This metaphor... Well, He Xichao has nothing to say.

"No need to be nervous, just a few small officials, the final ups and downs are not up to you, and the inclusion can also show the emperor your tolerant heart. But..." He Xichao touched the tip of his chin and thought, "I'm afraid the weak scholar will not like going to the north."

"Whether they like it or not, don't come if you don't want to follow. I'm not in the capital, so why are they squatting here?"

Facts have proved that when He Xichao asked this question during the interview, no one expressed embarrassment. Even if there were wives and children at home, they were very conscious and prepared to follow the army.

For the matter of getting ahead, they are very positive.

Everyone knew that the crown prince was in full swing, and this time he could go to the northern border with him, it was a good opportunity to gain face in front of him, so even though it was full of dangers and the conditions were difficult, they all agreed.Once triumphant, not to mention the rewards from the imperial court, with the back against the big tree, the official career can be magnanimous.

In the turbulent years, the promotion speed of military generals is like sailing smoothly, accumulating military merits to be named marquises, which is much faster than civil servants struggling through life step by step.

The interview was much simpler than the written test, and He Xichao didn't have the extra time to study carefully. He was more inclined to take him to the north to learn more about it from day-to-day.

So as long as you answer a few questions during the interview, the statement is correct.

This time going north, apart from these newly hired government officials, He Xichao didn't intend to bring all the twelve scholars with him, only You Ziqing and Shao Yuan followed.

Without him, the rest would have to take the provincial exam next year, and if they missed it, they would have to wait another three years.

But You Ziqing and Shao Yuan are already Juren, there are still two years left in the examination, and there are not many opportunities to face the enemy directly, so He Xichao decided to take them out to see the world.

The author has something to say: He Xichao: I want to take it off, but it's too heavy and I can't take it off.

Xiao Hong: It's okay, then I'll take it off?

Yao: The harmonious world is so beautiful.
