Better to live forever [Rebirth]

The war is going well, and the old Hou Ye has not withdrawn from the joy of the war, but Zhu Dingbei has already considered the worst situation.

What he thinks and thinks is no longer prepared for danger in times of peace, but too sober and too worried.

Old Hou Ye didn't understand why he would think like this, but when he thought about it carefully, it was like a basin of cold water pouring down his head.

The Qiang people have always been strong, and the Xiongnu may counterattack at any time, so people can't relax at all.This is the fate of the people in their army. He and his children and grandchildren have already prepared for it, so they are not worried yet.Compared with this, the threat of the royal family makes people have to beware.

Neither Zhu Dingbei nor the old Hou Ye could come up with a countermeasure, so they had to write a letter to discuss with Zhu Zhenliang, which also reminded him not to lose his vigilance due to temporary pride.

Zhu Dingbei meditated quietly at night, but he didn't toss and turn like before. He read the marching ghost plan carefully again, and fell asleep very consciously without Shui Sheng's urging.

The Li family was about to fall, and most of his depression was gone. Now he just waited for the long line to pull out Li Jia'an's minions one by one in the court, and he had avenged his previous life.He is full of confidence now, so he can stabilize his mind and wait for the opportunity.

As for those uncertain things, they cannot be solved by sitting in the house and worrying about them. Whether it is in the Zhenbeihou Mansion in Luojing or the Zhu Family Army far away on the border, they can only be fully prepared and adapt to the situation.

Guozixue was still immersed in the carnival of the battle against Gao Jie, and even the weakest students became bloody because of it. This month's riding and archery competition was unprecedentedly prosperous.

At the end of May, the value of the newly promoted Wuzi who emerged in the Chunwei Martial Arts Examination is also rising. Many people can't even wait for the Qiuwei National Examination in August and can't wait to join the army to serve the country and show off their ambitions.

The upcoming martial arts examinations are so powerful that they will suppress the imperial examinations.

Qin Xi also didn't stop smiling for several days.

His father will be transferred to Qingzhou to face the war of pirates, although there are several thrills, he gained a firm foothold in the Qingzhou garrison in the name of the First World War!However, what he was happiest about was naturally beating the Qiang people to hide in their hometown and paying compensation to the Huns.This is what he said to Zhu Dingbei: "Although I am a second-rank general in the East China Sea, I still want to go to Liangzhou. The state voted to show its talents."

He smiled and embraced Zhu Dingbei: "At that time, I have to ask Changsheng for a favor and ask your grandpa to write me a letter of recommendation."

Among the troops stationed in Liangzhou and Xianbei Prefecture, the letter of recommendation from Marshal Zhu is comparable to a golden talisman for promotion!

Lou Anning looked at him contemptuously, "Don't you want to eat your father's soft food? How dare you want Grandpa Zhu to protect you? How shameless?"

Qin Xi didn't feel ashamed at all, so where is Liangzhou?A slap in the past may hit several martial arts champions, and his status doesn't matter at all there.But if you really want him to start from a small soldier, he can only start from the rear when he goes to the battlefield. In three to five years, he may not even be promoted to the commander of a hundred soldiers. There are shortcuts, and he will not waste time in vain.

Zhu Dingbei grabbed his face and said with a sneer, "You don't even have the ability to talk about war on paper, so you should rest your mind as soon as possible."

Qin Xi's whole face was wrinkled, not from pain, but from annoyance: "You look down on people!"

Lou Anning covered her mouth and laughed loudly, not forgetting to add insult to injury: "You showed your skills to make us look good."

Qin Xi looked at Jia Jiaming aggrievedly, the latter was trying very hard to hold back his smile, and when he saw him, he even turned his head away and couldn't help laughing.

Lou Ankang said: "Eleventh is now the youngest scholar in Luojing, Wailang. After waiting for three years, he will definitely become the youngest champion in Dajing! You are far behind. Hey, how about you?" I beg you, Grandpa, let him let you go to participate in the martial arts, maybe you can still be appointed by His Majesty, and your wish will be fulfilled."

Qin Xi rubbed his face and said depressedly: "It's not that easy."

The direct descendants of these ministers above the second rank have the royal family's budding shade, and most of them can be recommended in Guozixue, and they can get official status without taking the imperial examination.Especially the martial arts, the children from poor families have always participated a lot. As the grandson of Commander Qin, his parents are second-rank generals, so he can serve in the army without participating in the martial arts, so there is no need to take this detour.

In addition, there is only one situation left for the children of aristocratic families who participate in the imperial examination and military examination, that is, the sons of civil servants join the army or the sons of generals join the literature.

The imperial examinations and martial arts examinations are their certificates of honor. Only by getting good results here will open up the situation, which will help their future official careers and reduce criticism.

Jia Jiaming is different.

The descendants of this generation of the Luojing family are not prosperous, so the distinction between the descendant and the concubine is not as clear as it was in the previous dynasty.With Jia Jiaming's talent, if he was in other families, he would have been carefully cultivated with all kinds of attention, but Jia's family is different from these aristocratic families.

In terms of a single heir, Jia Zhongshu, who has many sons and grandchildren, can no longer take care of it. Besides, Jia Jiaming has never been in the limelight. Before he had to be admitted to the current Chunwei, he was punished and neglected for several times for disobeying Jia Zhongshu. .But now, even Jia Zhongshu has to pay attention to this No.11 son who has never said anything.

At the end of May, when the rankings were released, Jia Jiaming was surprised and reasonable, and once again won the top spot!

The population of Dajing increased sharply compared with the previous dynasty, and the area under the expansion of the territory was more than doubled. Therefore, an additional joint was set up for the imperial examination candidates, which were divided into Chunwei and Qiuwei, and four screenings were set up.Although Chunwei obtained the fame of a scholar, he is not qualified to be selected as an official, but the Sanyuan rank cannot be underestimated!

Besides, he is only 12 years old, so he can't be regarded as the youngest number one scholar in Dajing, but he is the youngest scholar of three yuan and the first place since Dajing opened the imperial examination!

Even Emperor Zhenyuan was alarmed. Hearing that he was the closed disciple of Chen Gelao and the heir of Zhongshuling, he specially gave him a jade ruyi and praised him a lot.

Jia Jiaming became well-known among Confucians at a very young age. Although he returned to Guozixue and kept a low profile, his prestige in the academy has already surpassed Ma Chao, the grandson of the Taifu, and became the head of Confucian scholars.

It's hard not to let people's minds flutter in such an encounter.

Even Mr. Chen Ge taught him several times not to be complacent, for fear that he would be burdened by his fame and become a pity that he may not be good when he is young.

Jia Jiaming was naturally happy, but soon calmed down.

It can be said that Zhu Dingbei, the Lou family brothers and Qin Xi contributed a lot to this.

Once successful, it is easy to lose one's heart. The biggest problem for such people is actually the inferiority complex in their hearts.Confident people have long been confident about the success they can achieve. Even if they are happy for a while, they will not stop because of this, because they know that the end they can reach is far more than this.

This was originally Jia Jiaming's biggest problem, but after getting to know several close friends in the past two years, the cowardice in his heart has gradually been dispelled.

At the same time, it was also because he was soberly aware that compared with his friends with their own strengths, he was not much outstanding, such as Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng's low-key and unobtrusive, which made him quickly settle down from the ecstasy. Yuan Jidi was impetuous, but calmed down more than before.

Qin Xi was babbling for a long while before Jia Jiaming stopped laughing. Looking at Qin Xi who was about to jump when Lou Anning made fun of him, he comforted him, "That's all after you turned 16. Hurry up while you're [-] years old. Practice literature and martial arts, otherwise, if you really get what you want, can you make meritorious deeds with a passion for it? Don't be angry."

Qin Xi nodded again and again, "Eleven is right."

Lou Anning rolled her eyes and muttered, "This is too easy to coax."

Zhu Dingbei laughed, and turned to say: "I heard that Qin Xi coaxed you to bet a lot of money on the martial arts game, tell me whose treasure you all bet on?"

Qin Xi mentioned that he was not interested in seeing him once, and then he turned his attention to the Lou family brothers. He successfully instigated Lou Anning, and at the same time persuaded Lou Ankang to invest a lot of money. Hot bet a few taels of silver.

Before Qin Xi could say anything, Lou Anning told them that the few of them had bet on the most popular candidate for the first place in the martial arts examination, and even praised him in every possible way, bluntly saying that betting on him would definitely not be wrong.

"Du Hui's martial arts and military strategy are very good. Even Grandpa Qin praised him for his skills. He is better than everyone else. If he can't win the champion of martial arts, no one will think about it."

Lou Anning made a vow.

The Du Hui he was talking about was the Wu Zi who won the first place in the Martial Arts Spring Test. Not only that, he even ordered nine cards in Fengyun Casino before and won a complete victory. Before the martial arts began, he had already attracted attention up.

Zhu Dingbei clicked his tongue twice, and regretfully said: "Then it seems that all your money this time will have to be given to the dealer for wine."

Qin Xi yelled: "Impossible, except for Du Hui, my grandpa doesn't like any martial arts this year, he will definitely win!"

Zhu Dingbei sneered, and instead of answering, he looked at Jia Jiaming: "Eleventh, do you think I'm right?"

Jia Jiaming touched his nose, gave a dry cough, and nodded with difficulty under the burning gazes of Qin Xi and Lou Anning. "Your Majesty is going to reorganize the army this year, and has already promoted several generals from the humble family. If you want to go all out to build momentum for the martial arts of the humble family, this time the champion of martial arts should be selected from the humble family."

Although he said he should, his expression was clearly determined.

He hadn't thought of this before, but his master heard about their bet and joked that his little grandson would lose his pants this time and had to find something to coax him.Only then did he think about it carefully, and only after Chen Gel's guidance did he think of this crucial point, and then he became dumb afterwards, thinking about making Qin Xi and Lou Anning happy for a few more days.

Lou Anning was stunned, and Qin Xi opened his mouth in disbelief: "No way."

The Du Hui Wuzi they voted for is a typical example of abandoning literature and pursuing martial arts. His father is the current Liangzhou state shepherd, and he is the second son with a noble status.

Originally, this was a great help, but under Jia Jiaming's analysis, Du Hui was very likely to be harmed by it, and missed the champion of martial arts!

Qin Xi swallowed his saliva. He, the promoter, was later coaxed by Lou Anning, who invested twice as much money as expected, a full 100 taels of silver. Our red envelopes are all betting on this!

Seeing their mournful faces, Zhu Dingbei laughed gleefully.

Lou Ankang hurriedly appeased his younger brother who was frowning and didn't dare to look at him, forget it, he thought that the money was thrown out to make him happy, and he didn't expect the money to make money at all.

As soon as Lou Anning regained her confidence, she immediately rushed forward and gave Qin Xi a good beating.

This guy made him pay him 200 taels of silver, beat him up!

Qin Xi was also angry out of his guts, it was the idiot Lou Er who made him lose 50 taels of silver!

The two huddled together, and the onlookers couldn't help laughing.
