Uncertain Chang'an

At the beginning of March, the ice and snow in the capital melted, and the cold wind raged throughout the winter, so I was finally willing to go back home for a while to recuperate.Haruhi is so silent, gradually coming to people.After changing out of the heavy winter clothes, the whole person felt a lot more relaxed. The spring breeze was blowing, soft and gentle, and even the rows of willow trees beside the embankment couldn't wait to pick new ones.After a whole winter of silence, some people couldn't help but go out to play. Compared with the winter, Beijing is more lively. Not only lively, but also a bit more bookish.

The Chunwei written test has passed, and today is the palace test. If you are lucky enough to win His Majesty's favor, it will be a carp jumping over the dragon's gate. The so-called "challenge is the farmer. Twilight is the emperor's hall". The imperial examination is the only way for thousands of scholars in the world to change their fate. At this time It is gearing up and full of ambition.Ten years of cold window, success or failure depends on today.

In the Xuanshi Hall, Emperor Taiping was dressed in a black embroidered gold dragon gown, sitting on the head, not angry.Zhou Jinhe, Zhou Jinqian and several important ministers stood at the head, Emperor Taiping waved his hand, and Gu Xianghai, who was at the side, understood, stepped forward a few steps and shouted out in a shrill voice: "The scholars who are listed in the Xuanhui Examination will have an audience!"

Nine beeps were heard from outside, and a group of scholars filed in, stood respectfully in the center of the hall, kowtowed to Emperor Taiping, and said in unison: "Caomin pay homage to Your Majesty."

Emperor Taiping stroked his beard with one hand, and carefully sized up the scholars in the hall. Seeing that the scholars in this class were all in good spirits, he nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Freedom of courtesy."

Today is the imperial examination, which should have been attended by Emperor Taiping and several important ministers, but Yan Yi said: "Princess Yongning is someone who knows people well, and His Royal Highness is the crown prince of a country, why don't you let the two Highnesses also participate in the imperial examination, and you can also give your majesty some advice?" Suggestions." Emperor Taiping thought for a moment, and felt that his words were justified, so he ordered Gu Xianghai to let Zhou Jinhe and Zhou Jinqian come to Xuanshi Hall today to see the elegant demeanor of Jin scholars.

Emperor Taiping asked some questions first, and the scholars answered them one by one. How many of them won the sacred heart, Emperor Taiping nodded in satisfaction, and asked: "Do you have any questions for the scholars?" Several important ministers looked at each other and asked some questions one by one. In the end, Zhou Jinhe went up to salute Emperor Taiping and said, "Father, my ministers also have a question. I dare not give advice. I hope all the talented people here will be my ministers." Confused."

"Oh?" Hearing what she said, Emperor Taiping also became interested, and said, "What doubts does Jin'er have? But it's okay to say."

"Returning to my father, the Turks have harassed our northwest border for years, and this year they have intensified their efforts to seize Ganzhou. Although my Jin army is strong and strong, I can beat them back, but such years of wars will inevitably waste people and money. I want to ask you, what can you do?" Can it be done once and for all?"

Hearing this, the important ministers present and Emperor Taiping all smiled knowingly, they only said that she felt sorry for General Xiao, but her question was indeed a serious concern for Emperor Taiping, so he said: "Speak freely, everyone, and explain the confusion for the princess."

Zhou Jinhe turned to look at the scholars in the palace, and didn't care what those people thought. Anyway, she and Xiao Wuding were teased not once or twice. Her Royal Highness has long been used to their teasing, not to mention, only Only in this way can it be unobtrusive.

The scholar at the bottom thought for a moment, then someone stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the grassroots think that the Turks are fierce and violent, and they are nomads, flexible and flexible. Only in this way can the security of the border be ensured.”

"The grassroots reconsidered, but now the strength of our country and the Turks is almost the same. If you want to keep the border safe, why don't you build the Great Wall in the northwest like the north to keep out foreigners."

"The grass people think that building the Great Wall and making the Turks bow their heads are not a once-and-for-all thing. Only by letting the Turks integrate into our Great Jin, live and eat with the border people, obliterate their nomadic nature, make them stable, and be taught by our Central Plains culture can be done once and for all. After a few years, even if the Turks want to make a comeback, can they still beat their wives, children, husbands, and relatives?"

"This statement is wrong. The Turks have a violent temperament. If they live with the people on the border of our country, they will inevitably bully and hurt our people. The border will not be peaceful."

........................

For a while, all the scholars were eloquent, each with their own opinions and reasons, and no one would let anyone else. Taiping Emperor was happy to listen to their arguments, and did not stop them, but watched with great interest.Zhou Jinhe was also normal, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, paying close attention to everyone on the field.

After everyone had finished talking, Emperor Taiping changed the subject, turned his head to Zhou Jinqian who was at the side, and asked, "Qianer, what do you think?"

Zhou Jinqian, who was suddenly called by his name, was slightly taken aback, and then he took two steps forward and cupped his hands and replied: "Father, my son thinks that the Great Wall should be built for the sake of the people on the border."

"Hmm..." Emperor Taiping nodded thoughtfully, turned to Zhou Jinhe, and asked, "How does Jin'er feel?"

Zhou Jinhe took a few steps forward and said: "My minister agrees to allow the Turks to bow their heads and proclaim themselves ministers, and live together with the border residents to educate them."

Hearing this, Emperor Taiping laughed and said: "Is this a stick and a sweet date? Hahaha, you two are fighting back and forth, but you don't know that the princess has such a big appetite, hahaha, good!"

All the people echoed, although Emperor Taiping laughed, he sighed again in his heart, why is his daughter not a son, Qian'er will only be a successful king in the future, only Xiang Jin'er has the courage to conquer the world ah.

Suddenly, a eunuch announced from outside: "Report! Northwest urgent report!"

Hearing this, Emperor Taiping couldn't help leaning forward slightly, and said, "Oh? Quickly pass it on!" Zhou Jinhe also clenched his fist slightly, and turned his head to look at the entrance of the main hall.A messenger soldier dressed in armor knelt down in front of the main hall for a military salute, raised his hands above his head, and said: "Your Majesty, our Jin soldiers have won the first battle and severely injured the Turks!"

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was overjoyed, Zhou Jinhe looked at the familiar handwriting on the cover of the memorial, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Okay! Submit it quickly!" Emperor Taiping clapped his palms and laughed. Gu Xianghai who was on the side hurriedly took the memorial from the messenger and handed it to Emperor Taiping. Emperor Taiping unfolded the memorial and looked at the contents carefully. After a while, he closed the memorial, overjoyed, and said: "Haha, what a Xiao Wuding! The Turkic envoys tricked the enemy into pretending to attack Suzhou. They didn't want him to make a superior move, so they also sent troops to pretend to attack the city. After Yu Wenzhao pursued him At that time, a close-door beating dog came from behind, severely wounded Yu Wenzhao with one arrow, and defeated the Turkic army, hahaha, Jin Er praised him for his resourcefulness, it is true!"

All the people knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Jinhe listened, even his eyes were slowly smiling, and he didn't blame Emperor Taiping for teasing her so openly, it was no surprise that Xiao Wuding won so beautifully.After all, he is the one she likes, so he is naturally extremely smart.

Xiao Wuding won the first battle, Emperor Taiping was naturally happy, and agreed to her requests one by one, and after the ranking of the imperial examination was determined, everyone retreated, Zhou Jinhe walked last, saw Yan Yi in front of him waiting at the gate of the hall, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and walked away past.Ever since Lu Junde was demoted as Prime Minister, Emperor Taiping issued an edict a few days ago to make him formally serve as Prime Minister.

"Is uncle still here?"

Yan Yi cupped his hands respectfully towards her, and said: "I am waiting for Your Highness, thank you Your Highness for persuading the prodigal son to turn back."

Hearing this, the corners of Zhou Jinhe's mouth raised slightly, and he walked out side by side with him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are being polite, my cousin is talented, more than enough to enter the Imperial Academy, but he is a bit playful, and he understands the principles. After a few words, my cousin still understands himself."

"Your Highness is humble. The minister understands what kind of virtue his son is. If he didn't have some ideas, he would definitely not agree to enter the officialdom."

They are all smart people, he said that, Zhou Jinhe didn't play tricks with him, and said with a smile: "What do you think of Jin'er's performance today?"

Yan Yi sighed, and said: "I'm not talented, I haven't taught His Royal Highness well."

"Why should my uncle underestimate himself? Jin'er was also taught by his uncle when he was young, but people are divided into three, six, and nine grades. Confucius has three thousand students, and the outstanding ones are only 72."

"Yes, I have been educated. It's just that the road is not easy. Why do you bother to do this? You have to provoke the criticism of the world."

Zhou Jinhe stopped in his tracks, turned to look at him, and answered with a firm expression: "If I were a man, naturally I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble, but if I am a woman, do I have to give up my ideals and ambitions because of the world? Uncle, I remember what you taught me when I was young. , My life is up to me." She said, she turned her head and looked towards the northwest direction, softened instantly, and said with a smile: "Besides, someone once told me that what I get by myself is better than what others give. "

"This..." Yan Yi was at a loss for words for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer.Indeed, there are few men in the world with Zhou Jinhe's heart, wealth, knowledge and ability. Before he could answer, Zhou Jinhe looked at him with burning eyes, and said sincerely, "Uncle, the Great Jin Dynasty has been in power for eight years, and there are remnants of the previous dynasty." To disturb the hearts of the people, there are Turkic Huns and the Shu Kingdom outside, and it is not enough to have a successful king."

"..."

Yan Yi was choked again, and after a long time, he sighed: "Hey, whatever, I just pretend I don't know anything about it."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Zhou Jinhe raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and said: "Uncle, please rest assured, no matter how we fight in the future, Jin'er will put the people first. If it is not really desperate, Gan'er's life will definitely not be hurt." After finishing speaking, she said to Yan Yi Farewell, get on the princess car.

Yan Yinai is the crown prince's grand tutor, and she is his own nephew, she is not on either side, so she can only wait and see what happens.It would be a great convenience for Zhou Jinhe as long as he didn't obstruct him.

Back at the Princess Mansion, a maid handed over the letter immediately, and it was not long before it was delivered to the Princess Mansion.Zhou Jinhe took the letter, and walked quickly to the study while opening it.

Xiao Wuding gave a general account of the battle, and at the end said, "In this battle, the garrison soldiers suffered the most casualties. It is helpless to take them as the vanguard. It is a pity that they did not follow me, but died because of me." With just a few words, Zhou Jinhe immediately Her heart ached, she knew that Xiao Wuding cherished the lives of soldiers, so she racked her brains every time just to reduce casualties, there were indeed a lot of casualties in this battle, she must be feeling uncomfortable.Zhou Jinhe wished he could fly to the northwest at this time, he just wanted to hug her, knock her on the head and reprimand her not to think wildly, but in the end he could only unfold the letter paper and write down: "The soldiers who died in battle didn't die because of you, they died for the Jin Dynasty." People, for my royal family surnamed Zhou, for my relatives and elders. You have me behind you, sister Wen, and they naturally have someone they cherish, and they are willing to give up everything for them and protect them with all their might."
