Imperial Exam Daily

"I don't know what the emperor called the minister for?"

Emperor Ji Wen was eating pastry, Yang Ye noticed that it was Fuxizhai's egg yolk pastry, he should be in a good mood looking at the emperor.

"Jiezi came from the south of the Yangtze River. This year, the people have worked together to prevent and control locusts. The crops have a bumper harvest, and the response to the epidemic prevention and control is good." Emperor Ji Wen pushed the pastry aside and took a sip of clear tea: "The matter of the Bata department can be considered resolved, and it can be calmed down for a while. day."

"Blessed by the blessing of the emperor, Ji Chao is naturally safe from danger."

Emperor Ji Wen didn't even move his eyebrows when he saw him flattering, and said: "The matter you mentioned in the court today is the same as my worries. This time, Ji Dynasty's humiliation will be returned in the future. Now, at the request of the Bata tribe, we have made a marriage. The barbarians in the area are bound to be imminent, although they are all small tribes, it is not worth mentioning, but I am afraid that these barbarians do not know the heights of heaven and earth, and it will be troublesome to deal with it at that time, and moreover, I am afraid that these small tribes will join forces to attack the Central Plains."

"In the past two years, it is necessary to strengthen the soldiers and horses of the Ji Dynasty. I originally wanted to hand over this matter to the Ministry of War, but most of the people in the Ministry of War are from civilian backgrounds, and there are not many military officers in reality, and they have been in Beijing for many years. Well, it's good to learn how to be slick and sycophant. This time, the Bata Department can wake up people and let me see their weight. As you said, the old general has rich experience in combat. If he is asked to practice soldiers and horses , First, to make up for the mistakes, and second, the old general is strict with himself, so I can rest assured."

Emperor Ji Wen said: "Not only that, I also plan to let you cooperate with the general to plan and train soldiers together, so that the military of Ji Dynasty can be strengthened."

Yang Ye's face was calm, he knew that the emperor would not simply talk with him when he was called here, and he would have to arrange political affairs. The most difficult thing right now is the military issue, and he has already considered it. say.

He respectfully said: "The emperor likes this minister, and I should do my best to solve the emperor's worries and problems. This minister has one thing to ask for."

"Go ahead."

"The first emperor expanded the territory and created a peaceful and prosperous age for the Ji Dynasty. Later, he worked hard to govern, selected talents arbitrarily, and attached importance to the imperial examination. From this, the Ji Dynasty was born with a large number of literati. The imbalance created the current situation, and the defeat is not only due to that person's fault, but in the final analysis is the imbalance of civil and military affairs in this dynasty, for this reason, I dared to ask the emperor to create a military exercise."

Emperor Ji Wen frowned: "Martial arts?"

"Yes. Most military officers in the Ji Dynasty are hereditary, and soldiers are directly collected for military service, and the promotion channel is to go to the battlefield to make meritorious service. However, the Ji Dynasty has been peaceful for many years, and there are few wars. Soldiers rarely have promotion channels, so they are slack. promotion, but most of the generals and military officers who followed the former emperor in the South and North Wars in the past are old or have passed away. Really contribute to the court."

Emperor Ji Wen's expression was clear: "Continue talking."

Yang Ye went on to say: "If you create martial arts, just like the imperial examinations, you will select talented young people from the people, pass the exams all the way, and those who are talented will be appointed officials and nobles. Those who are strong and good at boxing and kicking also have the opportunity to change from civilians to officials. Not only can the court select truly talented military officers, and the civil and military balance will be achieved. In addition, the common people will be inspired by this. will be much higher."

"it is good!"

"As soon as this strategy comes out, the military officers in Beijing will definitely have a lot of dissatisfaction. At that time, I hope the emperor will stick to his own opinion."

Emperor Ji Wen said: "This is natural. General Ji is upright and loyal to the imperial court. We will definitely give him more privileges to help the New Deal go smoothly."

Yang Ye kowtowed: "My minister will write up the plan as soon as possible, and then submit it to the emperor for personal reading."

Emperor Ji Wen smiled: "Let's do it!"

Yang Ye led the order and left the hall.

Emperor Ji Wen walked around the hall for a few times, the joy on his face was evident, Eunuch Qiao poured tea and stepped forward: "The Emperor has discerning eyes and discerning pearls and personally chose Mr. Yang. This Mr. Yang really has both ability and political integrity."

"If this can be done, Ji Chao will no longer have to fear the jumping clowns in the frontier."

.........

"Fu Lang, someone is asking to see you outside."

In the Yang family's mansion, Axi was feeding the quilt, when suddenly a servant came in to communicate.

"Who is it?"

"It is said that it is from the General's Mansion, and I want to invite Fu Lang to the mansion as a guest."

Ah Xi hastily put the mushy bowl into the nanny's hand: "But someone from General Weiyuan's mansion?"

"Yes."

"Please come in and rest in the front hall, I'll come when I pack it up."

Ah Xi rode a soft sedan all the way to the north of the city, pulling at the hem of his clothes all the time, wondering what the mansion in his memory looked like now.

"That kid Tan Shengchang didn't explain clearly in the letter. I don't know how tall Zixiang has grown now, and I don't know what he looks like." General Ji walked around the door of the mansion a few times: "I am much older now, and I don't know Zixiang. Can Xiang still recognize me?" Taishan collapsed in front of him without changing color. Now the old general is so nervous to see a young boy, the butler can't help but feel bitter. The old general only has one child, the eldest lady, but the white-haired man gave it to him. Having lost a black-haired man, now that Young Master Xue is still alive, it's hard not to restrain himself.

"General, here we come, here we come!"

Ji Chong saw a small soft sedan parked outside the mansion, and ran over in a hurry, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and a young man buried his head down.

Judging from his figure, Ji Chong could no longer recognize Ah Xi, but when that young and beautiful face came into view, his nose suddenly turned sour: "Zi Xiang!"

Ah Xi looked at the old general in front of him, his eyes were red. Although the old man was no longer young, his face hadn't changed much. He stretched out his hand like a boy, and threw himself into Ji Chong's arms.

Such a move made Ji Chong both sad and moved: "Zixiang has grown a lot taller, and when he was a child, he only walked around his grandfather's legs."

Ah Xi's voice choked up: "Is everything okay, grandpa?"

"Okay, everything is fine, it's fine to look at your grandfather." Ji Chong let go of Ah Xi: "Let grandpa take a good look."

Ah Xi hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "It doesn't look good to be crying."

"Zixiang looks more and more beautiful when she comes out, her eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as your mother's."

"General, young master, hurry up and enter the house." The housekeeper smiled and said, "Don't always talk outside."

"That's right, come in quickly." Ji Chong led Axi into the mansion: "I just came back yesterday, I wanted to see you right away, but it's getting late, I think you'll have a rest too, after going to court today Just send someone over."

"Grandpa has asked the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes."

Ji Chong kept talking: "Tan Shengchang didn't tell the whole story, he only said that you went back to the capital, and grandpa was afraid that you would go back to Xue's house again, if the kid hadn't gone to the northwest, I would have to give him a scolding. Later, I heard that you are married and have a husband's family, so I feel a little relieved."

A Xi said: "Don't blame Mr. Tan, I didn't let him say it. I want to tell Grandpa myself."

After returning to Beijing, he only told Dai Lin what happened in the past. Although he didn't want to mention more about the past, Grandpa naturally had something to explain. Picking the good ones, since it's a thing of the past, there's no need to worry grandpa anymore.

Even so, Ji Chong was very angry when he learned about it: "The old man warned Xue Yinsheng before he went to the frontier, but he didn't expect that he would dare to straighten that bitch when the old man was busy with the war, and today he will go to court again. Several times in the court, I wanted to suppress the old man, but the civil officials in the court were eager to suppress the old man, but they haven't let him play yet."

Ah Xi was worried when he heard the words: "Then will the emperor punish grandpa?"

"After all, the emperor cares about the old love, and he has the son and a few unfamiliar civil servants to help talk, but it's nothing."

Ah Xi breathed a sigh of relief, presumably it was Ah Ye who supported Grandpa, otherwise Grandpa would have been isolated and helpless in the court, and his situation would have been bleak.

Ji Chong suddenly said again: "By the way, your husband's family treats you very well. Back then, they thought you were a child of a country family, and they probably treated you as a slave. You tell grandpa, and grandpa will make decisions for you!"

Axi smiled helplessly: "My husband treats me very well, and never made me feel wronged."

But Ji Chong snorted coldly: "Scholars don't have many good things. That bastard Xue Yinsheng is a living example. I will definitely deal with him. You really follow your mother everywhere. You just want to fall in love with scholars. Temperament You are also weak, most of the time you were wronged like your mother and you stood by yourself, and you didn't know when you came to sue, but you fell ill all over, and grandpa is returning to Beijing today, so he will never let you suffer any more grievances."

A Xi took Ji Chong's arm, and said softly, "Grandpa, I'm really doing well. You see, I'm in good health now, it seems that I'm not doing well."

Ji Chong began: "Look at your slender arms and legs, you are still healthy, the weakest soldiers under Grandpa are stronger than you."

"Grandpa! How can you compare Zixiang with these soldiers?"

Ji Chonglang laughed: "Yes, our Zixiang is a young man, how can we compare with rough old men, it's Grandpa's fault."

Axi pursed his lips and smiled lightly.

"By the way, why didn't you bring your little great-grandson to Grandpa to see?"

"The quilt is too naughty, I'm afraid it will disturb grandpa's cleanliness."

Ji Chong insisted: "Hey, let's send the little great-grandson here, and we will have a good reunion tonight."

It's not easy for Ah Xi to ignore Grandpa's intentions, anyway, sooner or later we will meet, and it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later: "Okay, I will listen to Grandpa."

"Grandpa sent someone to pick it up, and asked to call the nanny too."

Yang Ye hurried back to the mansion, it was getting late, it was very hot, he urged the carriage to hurry up, he was sweating all over, he wanted to go home quickly and take his wife and children to General Ji House visit.

When he entered the door, he ordered his servants to prepare hot water, intending to go to the general's mansion with Axi after washing up, but the mansion was very quiet. He was wondering why Axi didn't play around in the courtyard today, so the servants immediately Come forward to report: "Fu Lang and the young master have been invited to the general's mansion. Fu Lang went out in the morning, and picked up the young master around noon. The nanny is also accompanying her. I'm afraid I won't come back at night."

Yang Ye's eyebrows sank: "Aren't you coming back?"

What does the old general mean? Do you want to leave his wife and children to his house?

"Hurry up, send the hot water to the room quickly, and prepare some gifts."

Yang Ye hurriedly took a shower, his hair was still a little wet, and he drove to the general's mansion in a sedan chair.

In the general's mansion, Ji Chong was having fun with his little great-grandson, and Ah Xi just sat on the side drinking the tea brought back from the northwest area, watching the old general Ji fold his white and fat quilt in the huge garden It's really funny to twist and turn.

"This milk doll is quite good. When you are so old, you are not as good as Xiaoqian."

Axi smiled and said, "Grandpa likes quilts more now than Zixiang."

"Hey, grandpa likes them all, and he's telling the truth."

As soon as Ji Chong finished speaking, he felt a heat in his stomach. He looked down, biting his fingers and giggling: "This little guy actually pissed on the old man."

Ah Xi hurriedly got up to hug Ah Xi: "The quilt is very skinny, and he often urinates on his big daddy every day."

Ji Chong was not in a hurry to give the soft little boy to Axi: "You are very courageous, let the great-grandfather see how bold he is."

After saying that, Ji Chong gently turned the little boy up like an old urchin, and the quilt broke away from his embrace for a moment, and when he returned to Ji Chong's arms, he suddenly fell silent.

Seeing this, Ah Xi couldn't help mentioning that his grandfather was a military general, and he loved to hold him up and down when he was a child, and often frightened him. Perhaps the child was frightened, and when he was about to pick him up, the little guy rolled his eyes, and suddenly giggled again: "Little Daddy~"

"Hahahaha!" Ji Chonglang laughed loudly, and tapped his quilted nose: "This little guy is really courageous, and he is worthy of being the old man's little great-grandson! In the future, the great-grandfather will teach you boxing and kicking skills to fight in the battlefield!"

Axi breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandpa will scare Zixiang to death."

"The old man will never fall on this little thing if he falls himself."

"Okay, hold the child Zixiang, grandpa, please change your clothes."

Ji Chong couldn't put it down and handed the quilt back to A Xi, still unable to leave his eyes, when someone came to report: "General, Master Yang is asking to see you."

"What Master Yang?" Ji Chong asked in confusion, then looked at the father and son again, and said, "Let him in."

Axi raised his eyes and said with a smile, "It's time to eat soon."

Ji Chong pulled out his majestic face, and changed his kindness towards Que Zhe just now: "He knows how to choose the time."

Yang Ye straightened his clothes outside the mansion and rushed all the way, his hair was all steamed dry. After entering the mansion, he didn't see Ji Chong, but saw Axi waiting for him with his quilt folded in his arms.

He went up a few steps: "It's nice to see Grandpa."

Ah Xi narrowed her eyes and smiled softly: "I'm really happy."

"Come on, big daddy give you a hug."

Quilt stretched out his hand and threw himself into Yang Ye's arms, Axikong reached out and stroked his hair: "Why is it all loose?"

"It's not in a hurry to come here."

Axi scolded: "What's the hurry, I can't run away."

Ji Chong changed his clothes and came out of the room. Seeing the couple chatting, he coughed dryly. Yang Ye raised his head, and Ji Chong's eyes flickered: "It's you."

"Yang Ye met Grandpa."

Ji Chongwang looked at the person without answering, and put his hands behind his back. He said how could there be a strange face in the hall today who would speak for him instead of all the officials. It turned out that there was such a connection: "Don't call me grandpa too early."

Yang Ye had a cheeky face: "Sooner or later, I have to bark, so why don't I bark more sooner or later."

Ji Chong flicked his sleeves: "Literati are used to being glib."

"Come on, let the old man hold the child, the meal is ready in the kitchen, let's eat in the living room."

Yang Ye saw a large table of food, many of which were Axi's favorites, it seems that General Ji really loves Axi.

Ji Chong was eating with the child in his arms. Both Axi and Yang Ye relaxed their hands and feet. Ji Chong was not annoyed at the little boy making trouble on the dining table. Instead, he kept teasing the child. In the bowl, Axi never stretched out his chopsticks, but there was everything in the bowl.

It took a long time to eat a dinner, and after the meal, it was already dark, and it started to rain.

"It's getting late, Zixiang will stay at the mansion with the child tonight."

A Xi looked at Yang Ye with a troubled expression on his face: "Qi Zhe has never lived outside, I am afraid that he will disturb grandpa by crying at night in his life, and he will have to go to court tomorrow."

"Why are you outside? Isn't grandpa's home here? No problem. It's raining outside, so you and your child can stay here in peace."

Seeing this, Yang Ye knew that Ji Chong was determined to keep Ah Xi and his little great-grandson to live, but he wanted to drive him away, so he couldn't help touching his nose. The general seemed to have a big prejudice against him, he said, "I wonder if my son-in-law can also stay in the general's mansion for one night."

Ji Chong glanced at him sideways: "If you want to stay, then stay."

Ah Xi tugged at the corner of Yang Ye's clothes: "I have to go to court tomorrow, how can I make it in time?"

Yang Ye patted A Xi's hand comfortingly: "No problem."

At night, the couple lived in the same room, and the little quilt was carried by the nanny to sleep.

Axi put down her coiled hair, and said to Yang Ye who was leaning on the bed and reading miscellaneous books: "The left and right generals' mansions are not far from home, why should you stay, you have to run back and forth tomorrow, how tiring."

"It's okay. I don't have to go to court tomorrow. I see that grandpa is not very satisfied with me. If I don't stay, I will detain you and the child from going home, so what should I do?"

Axi sat down by the bed: "Grandpa is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. At first, Mother was going to marry into Xue's family, but she didn't get good results. Grandpa's prejudice against literati is inevitable. Don't take it to heart."

"Your husband is rough-skinned and thick-skinned. How can you take it to heart? Grandpa really loves you and the quilt, but it's just a little bit of a temper."

Yang Ye rubbed Axi's hair, hugged him and kissed him: "Go to sleep."

The two embraced each other and fell asleep, but they hadn't slept for two hours when Yang Ye was woken up by the crying of the quilt in the next room.

Axi also rubbed his eyes: "The quilt really is the bed, there are very few people making trouble at night at home, I'll go and have a look."

"I'll just take a look. You can lie down, it's still raining outside, so be careful not to catch a cold."

Yang Ye stuffed Ah Xi back on the bed, put on a coat and went to the next door.

The little boy was crying loudly, with tears all over his face, and the nanny was coaxing him helplessly.

He picked up the child and gently shook it to coax him: "Don't cry when the quilt is folded, go to sleep."

After coaxing for a long time, the little guy's crying finally subsided, and Axi came over with his clothes on.

"I'm already asleep, didn't I tell you not to come over?"

"I saw that you haven't come back for a long time, so I came to have a look."

Yang Ye gently put the little guy back on the bed: "Maybe it's because I ate enough at night and still have the energy to cry in the middle of the night."

Ji Chong went outside the house and stood there for a while, but he still didn't go in. When he heard the couple come out, he strolled back to his room.
