Through the ancient dark horse strategy

The officialdom in Yangzhou has become noisy. Some people want to pack their bags and take their family property to escape, and some people plan to hoard food to earn money for war.

Only a small county like Ye Xiaoyi's was still ignorant, living step by step, and the county examination was going on as usual.

At dawn, a government official slowly entered the arena with a light board, urging the messy candidates to line up.Then one by one was searched and called, and the candidates were asked to enter the inner hall and take their seats.

Ye Xiaoyi didn't know anything, and he was still very happy at this moment, because he had just finished his treatment.

platoon leader.It took more than half an hour for Long to search the venue before Ye Xiaoyi could finally sit down.Ye Xiaoyi was so thirsty that he picked up the tea bowl at hand and drank it, and ate some pastries along the way.

Wang Gaojun who was sitting at the back "looked" at Ye Xiaoyi, and said softly, "Why did you drink this water?"

Ye Xiaoyi immediately remembered his deceitful words, and after a while he pretended to hold his stomach and said, "I'm so thirsty, I forgot, did you bring toilet paper?"

Wang Gaojun regretted: "No. But if you are in a hurry, go to the latrine now, and you probably haven't finished singing when you come back."

It means once and a half times, it's fine if you don't wipe your butt, it's important to hurry up and go to the latrine.

Ye Xiaoyi thought that the exam would start at Sishi (9 o'clock), and there was still a lot of trouble in the "Security Inspection" body search. Now it would be good to go out to drain the water, so he asked the examiner for leave to go to the latrine.

The examiner waved his hand and let him go. There are no mobile phones in this era.The disadvantage is that you don't need to be followed when you go to the toilet.

Ye Xiaoyi went to the hut for a while and came back, ate and drank again, and the exam was almost officially started.

The examiner repeatedly told these white men not to write their names in the wrong place, it must be written where the name is blurred, and the seat number must also be written.The examination paper is sealed, and anyone whose name leaks out, the answer paper will be invalidated and so on.

The examiner repeated it three or four times before handing out test papers to children and old friends.The so-called examination paper is more than a dozen composition papers that are marked and used to remember the number of words.There are also a few blank sheets of paper for you to make drafts.

The draft paper system here is exactly the same as the modern one. The draft paper must also be written with a name, and the draft paper must be recycled after the exam.Ye Xiaoyi was very suspicious that many modern examination systems copied the rules of his ancestors.

At that time, there was a sound of drumming in front of the hall, and the first question was displayed on the board. Ye Xiaoyi had good eyesight and could see a big word on the blackboard from a distance: Kai Zong Ming Yi... Zhao Min Lai Zhi.

The middle of the big characters on this page is covered with a black cloth, and only the first line and the last line are cut out for people to see, which means filling in the blanks.Candidates need to write out the content of this paragraph completely silently on the test paper. Points will be deducted for silent mistakes, missing words, typos, untidy papers, and failing calligraphy...

In short, this kind of dictation question is not only a test of memorization ability, calligraphy is also very important.When everyone is silently correct, the better the word, the higher the ranking.Ye Xiaoyi could only work hard to write neatly in block letters, he had only practiced calligraphy for three years, and besides winning neatly, he had no other way to beat everyone.

It's a pity that he was patted on the shoulder from behind in the middle of writing, and the little bastard Wang Gaojun asked him: "Hey, Ye Chen, what's that on it?"

Ye Xiaoyi watched helplessly as a large drop of ink ruined his two-line paper, and immediately gritted his teeth. He hasn't read the "Book of Filial Piety", so what kind of test are you taking?Whispering and whispering are not allowed in the examination room. If you do this, I will be convicted of cheating!

Why is this guy's seat number right behind him?no!Ye Xiaoyi had to stay away from this pig teammate.

Ye Xiaoyi raised his hands, pretending to be ill, and said to the county magistrate who was in charge of the exam: "The student is very dizzy, can you let me sit next to the lord to wake up? The lord is majestic and has great blessings." , maybe sickness ran away when I met you."

The county magistrate was so flattered that he waved his hand and agreed to the young man's request.There are so many students here, and there will be at least one or two scholars. It is not easy for him to refuse such a harmless request in front of so many people.

Ye Xiaoyi moved to the county magistrate's side to write the inscription, and finally he could concentrate on writing without distraction.After Ye Xiaoyi moved away, Wang Gaojun below started to be a giraffe, looking at other people's papers everywhere, Ye Xiaoyi was very thankful that he walked quickly.

It is very troublesome to encounter cheating and passing notes in the examination room. If you expose him, you may be dragged into the water and sentenced to be an accomplice.If he doesn't report it, if he is questioned, he may be charged with the crime of not reporting the knowledge, which will affect his point of champion.

It is best to escape in this situation.

Questions were pasted on the blackboard three times, and each time, a paragraph of about one or two hundred words was silent, all of which were relatively famous chapters.There were no biased questions, and the first round was relatively easy.

Ye Xiaoyi moved his fingers after silently finishing hundreds of words of the Four Books and Five Classics.After writing so many brush characters in one breath, his hands were sore.

Ye Xiaoyi checked the paper and found that there were no typos or misspelled words. He wrote his name and seat number and waited for someone to collect the paper.

There is a break at noon and the exam will continue in the afternoon, and the exam in the afternoon is about posting poems.It is poetry.

Ye Xiaoyi has also been forced to write a lot of parallel sentences over the years, and he is quite familiar with the rhyming couplet.But the achievement of writing poetry, you really have to be inspired to write good poems.

There are thousands of quick pairs in "Sound Enlightenment", "Li Weng Dui Yun", and "Xun Meng Parallel Sentences", such as "clouds to rain, snow to wind, evening photos to clear sky. Laihong to go to Yan, Su Niao To Song Bug..." Ye Xiaoyi has memorized these things over the years, and he can't make mistakes in terms of rhythm, but he may not be able to catch up with others in terms of artistic conception and harmony.

However, it is still guaranteed to write a decent poem by piecing together. Whether you can take the first place depends on whether you meet a god opponent.

At noon, Ye Xiaoyi had dinner and took a nap on the table, and someone posted a question.

The title is a sentence in "The Songs of Chu·Recruiting Hermits": The king and grandson will not return when they travel, and the spring grass will grow and luxuriate.

Many of Bai Ding's children and old Bai Ding's friends in the examination room were puzzled, especially the little bastard Wang Gaojun, who stretched his neck and asked people everywhere: "It has given all the poems, so why do you write poems?"

There was a lot of chatter in the examination room, and the county magistrate just came out of the inner hall to invigilate the exam, and patted the hall wood: "Quiet!"

The audience immediately returned to silence.

This question is actually a very old question, and it has been tested before, but not in this county.The test preparation materials that Ye Xiaoyi bought included the analysis of test questions over the years.

He can also recite the answer to the perfect poem, that's right!It is the famous poem: "Farewell to Fude Guyuan Grass", a poem written by senior Bai Juyi in the imperial examination when he was 16 years old: Li Liyuan went to the grass, one year old and one year old.

Wild fire, in spring.

Yuanfang invades the ancient road, and Qingcui connects to the deserted city.

Send Wang and Sun again, full of affection.

This kind of test-oriented poem is actually an expansion.To expand a sentence or a poem in a famous article into a complete poem, the theme and concept of the poem cannot be changed.This kind of poem is called "Fu De Ti", and the word "Fu De" should be added before the title of the poem.

The first part of the test post poems is to pay attention to the rhyme, the ups and downs, and the rhyme at the end of the sentence are the basic requirements.Poems without rhyme cannot be seen in the eyes of the marking officials.

The so-called up and down means that the upper line ends with a flat tone, and the lower line ends with a flat tone.The oblique tone refers to the third and fourth tones in the tone, and the flat tone refers to the first and second tones in the tone.

For example, "草" at the end of the first sentence of "Grass" has three tones, and "Rong" at the end of the second line has two tones, that is, it conforms to flat rise and flat fall.

"Jin, Dao, Go" at the end of the last three lines of the first couplet are four-tone sounds, and "Sheng, City, and Love" at the end of the second line are flat tones, and the whole poem conforms to the ups and downs.

In terms of rhyming, the first sentence can be left unpressed, and the finals of the second sentences of the last three sentences must be pressed.For example, the "sheng, city, and love" at the end of the sentence in "Grass" all press the ng sound, and the rhyme of this poem is considered perfect.

The second thing to pay attention to is the structure of the test post poems. The four-sentence ones must conform to "starting, inheriting, turning, and combining", and the eight-sentence ones must conform to the "breaking the topic, inheriting the topic, starting to talk, starting, starting, middle, and back" in the eight-legged essay. There are eight parts including "shares and bundles".

Take "Grass" as an example, "Liliyuan goes to the grass, one year old and one year old."

"The wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows again." This sentence is a continuation. "Yuanfang invades the ancient road, and Qingcui meets the deserted city." This sentence changes the scene to the meaning of the farewell topic.The last sentence "Send Wang and grandson again, full of love." It is a combination, that is, a sentence that summarizes the whole poem and is the part that expresses the poet's feelings.

The same is true for stereotyped essays. Even if you are boasting too much in front of you, the examiner will know the point of view you want to express in this article by only looking at the "bundled strands" part behind you, and can judge in a second whether you have strayed from the topic and whether your intentions are lofty.

So the last sentence is very important, it depends on whether it digresses or not.

To be on the safe side, classmate Bai, his last sentence and the title "Wang Sunyou will not return, and spring grass will grow." It is a very clever way to overlap multiple words. Xiao Mo also said that it is best to move the title into the last part. Quoting, paraphrasing, and rearranging words are all good.In short, it is right to let people see at a glance that you are perfect.

Ye Xiaoyi has also done a lot of problems, and he can compose even and stable poems.With such an open mind like Senior White, he can't even keep up with it.Unless there is a burst of inspiration, there is that opportunity for extraordinary performance.

Ye Xiaoyi spent two hours arranging sounds, forming sentences, and spelling pairs to finish writing a new song "Fu De Cao xxxx".Classmate Bai's perfect score answer is so famous, of course Ye Xiaoyi wouldn't be so stupid as to copy his.

Application time ([-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m.) can start handing in papers.

Ye Xiaoyi changed the words and sentences again and again, improving the rhythm and artistic conception again and again, and finally made him feel perfect, so he copied the poem and handed it in.

It was only past three o'clock at this time, and there were still many people biting their pens and crumpling n balls of paper, unable to write a poem.

Ye Xiaoyi chuckled, even if he stayed up until five o'clock in the evening to turn in the paper, how could it be so easy to think of a ready-made poem all of a sudden?As long as you take a poem apart, think about it sentence by sentence, and then put the quick-pairs you have memorized before into it, you will have a poem.It is much easier to modify and polish after the poem is completed.

Ye Xiaoyi went home and waited for the results to be released after leaving the Dragon Gate. At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and there were families in twos and threes outside waiting for the examinees to come out.

The yard that Ye Xiaoyi rented was very close to the yamen. As soon as he approached the alley in front of his house, Xiao Mo pulled him away: "Come with me."

Xiao Mo took Ye Xiaoyi to a remote courtyard and asked him: "Why do you have to take the No. [-] Scholar exam? For fame? For profit? According to your current financial resources, you don't need the salary of a seventh-rank sesame official like the No. [-] Scholar at all." .

According to your personality, you are not a person who likes to be restrained, so why do you have to take this number one exam?Guangzong Yaozu? "

"Isn't it possible to glorify your ancestors? After taking the official examination, you will change your status. With my ability, maybe one day I will gain power and be able to cover the sky with one hand and be a powerful minister.

Isn't power more attractive than honest business? "

I can never tell you that I have a timer bomb strapped to my body.It's the same hell system, if you don't pass the exam, you have to die at the age of 20, right?

Xiao Mo looked at him very solemnly: "Is this what you really think?"

Ye Xiaoyi nodded: "If I don't take the No. [-] exam, I will die."

Xiao Mo didn't understand Ye Xiaoyi's meaning, which led to many years later, he always thought that Ye Xiaoyi was in love with power.At this time, Xiao Mo only touched his face and said: "Take a good exam, no matter who is the emperor, you will be the champion. No matter what news you hear, don't worry, concentrate on the exam, and everything else will be taken care of by the teacher."

Ye Xiaoyi was sensitive to the key point: "What? There are changes in the court? What news will I hear?"

Xiao Mo shook his head, "It's still early, you won't be in the mood to review after you know it. But if you hear someone else say it, you can ask me if you want to know. Don't spend too much time thinking about it, keep a normal mind and concentrate on it." Exam preparation. Obedient?"

Ye Xiaoyi thinks about it too, normality is very important.If the rhythm is messed up, the performance will not be good, so Xiao Mo nodded in agreement.

In the next few days, Xiao Mo will receive n letters from Feige every day, it seems that something really big is going to happen!

But Ye Xiaoyi had been warned that he didn't care about these important national affairs.Still Lao Tzu's life is important, and concentrating on taking down Tongsheng is the top priority. He only has seven years left in the countdown to his life, and he really can't afford to delay it.

Five days later, the rankings were released, and among so many Bai Ding who came to take the entrance exam, only 100 passed.Among them, Ye Xiaoyi's seat number is ranked No.1 on the list, the corners of Ye Xiaoyi's mouth can't help but curl up, I'm number one in the first try!

Even though he came out of Bai Ding, Ye Xiaoyi was also very happy.I used to be a proper Baiding, now I can finally leave the Baiding team, gratifying.

Because the names of the papers are ambiguous, the seals will not be opened until the five exams are completed.The rankings that everyone saw were all seat number rankings. No one knew who No.1 was, so Ye Xiaoyi ran away silently and continued to take the second exam.

Before the second exam, the top [-] candidates were interviewed by the county magistrate.

Ye Xiaoyi was the first to be interviewed, unexpectedly the county magistrate still remembered him.The county magistrate smiled like a flower and asked him a few questions, all of which were the ones he had passed in the first exam, after Ye Xiaoyi had recited those scriptures.

The county magistrate clapped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, you have a good relationship with this official, and your foundation is also very solid. I checked your file, and you have a good status, and your parents are still martyrs who benefit the country. Take the test hard, and you won the first case five times in a row. This officer can directly recommend you as a scholar."

Ye Xiaoyi hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, sir!" But the quota recommended by this scholar is very tasteless, it is just exempted from the government examination and the hospital examination.

If the county magistrate can recommend me to take the township examination directly, I don’t need to take the yearly and scientific examinations, and I can give you money!

Each of the next four exams was the same as the first day, with dictation in the morning and composition in the afternoon. There were poems, prose, and parallel essays, and the level became more and more difficult.

Admission at dawn, submission of papers at dusk, no candles.It means not to light candles, if you can’t write an article, you can delay the class, at most until dusk, and the officials and masters have to get off work. When it gets dark and you can’t write, you have to hand in the paper.

The time for writing an article is basically sufficient. As long as there are procedures and rules, a well-regulated article can basically be written in three hours.

Of course, if there is no systematic method, it is impossible to think of the whole composition with full marks all at once after thinking about it for three days and three nights.Things have to be done step by step. Ye Xiaoyi learned from Xiao Mo, and the most profound experience is not to be impatient.

The pursuit of speed is not reflected in mentality, but in action.Quick hands, steady mind, and clear thinking are the learning magic weapons summed up by Ye Xiaoyi.Ye Hunhun finally has the appearance of a schoolmaster.

The first place on the list for four consecutive games has always been the low-key Jun No. 32 who has never made a fuss, and people began to notice this consecutive number one.

By the time the fifth round of rankings was released and No. 32 was still at the top, the gift from the rich and rich in the county had already been delivered to the small courtyard rented by Ye Xiaoyi.Grandma Ye was taken aback, "My good grandson won the first place? Didn't you hear?"

Of course Ye Xiaoyi wouldn't say that the purpose of the nameless exam is to prevent the marking teacher from knowing who you are?I want to yell everywhere, people think I can be bullied, what should I do if my papers are withdrawn and replaced by others?

In addition to the county magistrate and rich landowners in the county, among the gift givers were the Wang family who had already severed their ties?

Grandma Ye's second daughter-in-law, Ms. Wang, brought her son to Ye Xiaoyi's small courtyard to apologize to Grandma Ye, saying that her husband was ignorant and left his mother in anger, begging Grandma Ye to restore the relationship.

Grandma Ye was stupid to have such a relative again. The youngest son's family has enough food and clothing, and their life is well-off, the only thing missing is the word "expensive".Not being "expensive" has already insulted people like this. When their family becomes more expensive, can I still breathe, old lady?

Grandma Ye looked at the little grandson she brought and said sarcasticly: "Xiaowen is also ten years old this year, right? He is the same age as my little sister. You, an aunt, don't even think about giving my little sister some gifts. Let's do it as before. Let's live the same, it's better if the well water doesn't violate the river water.

You came to beg me this time, because Xiaowen couldn't pass the children's test this year, right?

I have said that the child is too young, don't force him to study, when he wants to study in the future, he will naturally pass the exam.You see, our Xiaoyi got the first place in the exam once, it is easy to study, Xiaowen is still young, let Ah Cai teach it well, take your time, don't worry. "

Ms. Wang wanted to say that if studying was easy, her husband would not fail the exam for the rest of his life.But at this moment, she didn't dare to shout at Grandma Ye, and turned to beg Ye Xiaoyi instead.

She thought it was difficult for women to communicate with women, and it would be easier for women to communicate with men.In fact, what Grandma Ye meant was what Ye Xiaoyi meant.

Ye Xiaoyi didn't bother with her, just got on the Maxima "Xiaoyi" and returned to Yangzhou City.

The Lu Chamber of Commerce will take care of the rest. As for the county magistrate and local tyrants and squires inviting him to drink, you can justify that he is young and just return a gift to everyone.Otherwise, how many banquets would he have to drink if he got the first prize all the way?

This kind of wine table is the most prone to accidents, and they will fall into the trap and promise others without knowing it.Before entering the imperial court, he was not yet suitable for forming large and small parties. When he became an official, he came back to make friends with these people, and his attitude was different.

It has been March since Ye Xiaoyi returned to Yangzhou from the county seat, and he is about to prepare for the government examination in April.

The application procedure for the government examination is similar to that of the county examination, except that the "examination guide" issued by the county magistrate is required to be eligible to apply for the government examination.There are three government exams, this time you don't need to take the exam for a full month, you can finish the exam in four days.

On the first day of the test of "Tie Sutra", it is dictation, and it is still a test of memorization and calligraphy.On the second day, "zawen" is tested, that is, poems, Fu, parallel prose, essays and other compositions, and the rhetoric and candidates' grasp of style are tested.

The third test, "Policy Theory", takes two days.The test is about political views, and pragmatism is very important.

Scholars who have never been a family and don’t know how expensive things are, it is even more impossible to know that what the country cares about is not such ethereal things as “benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness” but piles of data.

What is the yield per mu and the tax geometry?The population of the country, the number of soldiers and horses, the profit and loss of the treasury, the salaries of hundreds of officials, the expenditure of the palace, the death rate in war, the crime rate, and the good weather and weather changes are not romantic things at all.

The "policy theory" in the third round is the place where many scholars are killed in battle, so each "policy theory" test gives the candidates the most time to perform.

But this kind of continuous rotation is very hard. I have to spend four days in a small cubicle as big as the toilet. I will feel dizzy when writing. If the health is not good, it will really be unbearable.

After Ye Xiaoyi returned home, he just ate and slept, and ate and slept.Occasionally I get up to practice archery, horseback riding, and boxing.

This time Xiao Qian still gave him a bunch of bottles and jars of medicinal oil and pills.Ye Fangtian still gave him snacks, including candied haws.Ye Xiaoyi was about to get drunk: "You can't bring anything into the government examination, so don't give it away."

Xiao Qian joked: "You can rub the medicinal oil on your body before you go in. You can also eat candied haws and take it in your stomach. Why is it useless? Didn't you do well in the exam last time?"

Ye Fangtian also came to tease him: "You won the first place in five games in a row, and you can directly be a scholar. Why do you have to suffer this crime and then take the government and college exams? You can go directly to Xuezheng's school and take part in the yearly and scientific exams. You can pass the test."

Ye Xiaoyi didn't want to suffer, the problem was: "I still want Xuezheng to recommend me to take the provincial examination directly. It's not good to skip too much. Anyway, the government examination and the college examination will be over in a while, so I'd better take it honestly. "

Ye Xiaoyi's goal is to take part in the Yangzhou city's rural examination, which is Qiu Wei, in August this year.He has only passed the county examination, so he is too embarrassed to let others recommend him.At least you have to get a top spot in the college exam, right?

Xiao Mo didn't know what he was doing these days, he was too busy to see anyone.

Ye Xiaoyi didn't hear about any major events when he returned to Yangzhou City, so he put aside the matter that Xiao Mo talked to him before.

Three days before the exam, Xiao Mo just showed up to massage the child's body to relax his muscles and bones.Ye Xiaoyi lay on the bed, telling him not to worry about it: "Is your injury healed? My child's body can recover after a night's sleep, so don't worry about it."

Xiao Mo was still pressing Ye Xiaoyi's leg, smiled and said:

"Caring about me? The teacher's injury is fine, you don't have to worry."

Ye Xiaoyi immediately became furious: "Who's worried about you! I'm just reminding you, when you recover from your injury, come and tell me what you've been hiding from me. But I'm not free right now, and I'll deal with you after I finish this round of exams." !"

Xiao Mo's chest vibrated, and he teased, "Okay, you can deal with me. You can deal with me however you want, I'm sure."

Grass!Molested?Ye Xiaoyi kicked over:

"Don't be a teacher for a while, can you be a master for a while, are you addicted to fine points? Will you still say that the slave obeys orders later?"

Xiao Mo pulled his leg and pinched it, and continued to tease him:

"You only show your teeth and claws in front of me, and your teeth are sharp. Does it mean that you want to attract my attention? Huh?"

Ye Xiaoyi is about to blow up, who seduced you?

Xiao Mo hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be so excited, let me tell you something about today's test strategy."

Speaking of this, Ye Xiaoyi turned his face over, sat up and said, "Do you know the latest current affairs? Let's listen to it, maybe this time the topic will be the test."

Xiao Mo pulled Ye Xiaoyi's arm, and while laying hands on him, he said: "There is big news, but I don't think it will come out directly. I'll tell you, so don't be scared. The emperor is suffering from a headache.

The Yangzhou officialdom has also received some news, and they may ask the soldiers cryptically in the policy theory. "

Ye Xiaoyi was stunned: "It means there is going to be a war? Will this year's imperial examination be postponed?"

One hundred thousand troops!But don't just fight for ten or eight years, and recruit men!I will die if I don't take the No. [-] exam!

Xiao Mo touched his face, laughed at him and said, "Is it so important to be the number one scholar? You are not worried about our business in the Western Regions, but are afraid that the imperial examination will be delayed, so you want to be the number one scholar so much?"

Ye Xiaoyi is about to collapse, he has just finished three years of filial piety, if the country is in trouble and delays again, he can directly write a suicide note...

Xiao Mo looked at the child's look of lovelessness, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this battle can't be won."

Ye Xiaoyi turned his head, and asked him in a daze: "Why? Can you control this battle?" You pretended to spend a huge amount of military pay to gather a hundred thousand troops, and you just challenged you in the air?There must be a picture.

Xiao Mo took out a hand-drawn topographic map and pointed it out to him: "Look, this is Congling. This is the place where the [-] troops of the Rong tribe overwhelmed the border. It is the place that leads me to Persia (Afghanistan) and Tianzhu ( India) is also the aisle of the Silk Road.

The barbarians probably wanted to take this place in order to control the Silk Road.But Congling is a very steep place. It is the place where Tianshan Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Himalayas and other mountains meet. "

Now Ye Xiaoyi understood: "The junction of the three highest mountain ranges in the world? Congling is the Pamirs, right?

Let me tell you, the Pamirs means "roof of the world" in the local language.No matter whether you want to bypass or climb these three mountains, it will not work!It doesn't work!How could these Rong people think of using such a route to attack us? "

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "Pamir? Who did you learn Persian from? But such a method is indeed quite foolish. I still haven't received any news about which clan initiated the [-] army.

They probably thought that if the Silk Road merchants could cross Congling and sell supplies from the Western Regions (Xinjiang) to Persia, their army would be able to do so.

In fact, the Silk Road merchants did not transport goods all the way from the Hexi Corridor (Gansu Corridor) to Persia.

There is one group of people from the starting point of the Hexi Corridor to Yumenguan, another group from Yumenguan to Congling, and another group from Congling to Persia.These merchants are like ants relaying goods. They are all transported by local residents in a short distance. It only takes a few months to go back and forth, but they earn a lot.

If it was replaced by the army, it would be a long journey, from the back of Congling all the way to Yumen Pass, it is estimated that it will take two years.Just the soldiers, horses, food and grass in the past two years have consumed them. "

Ye Xiaoyi didn't understand: "Then the emperor has a headache? I'll just answer questions about strategy and theory?"

Xiao Mo nodded Ye Xiaoyi's forehead and said: "Do you think that everyone in the imperial court has gone through Shang, been to the Western Regions like me, and seen the three mountains and the Congling Ridge soaring into the sky?

According to the "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Xi Jing", Buzhou Mountain is the only way from the human world to reach the heaven. Buzhou Mountain is always cold and snowy all the year round.Congling is like this, not only is it cold, but you can't see the peak from a distance, and the three big mountains seem to grow into the sky.

If you have been to Congling, you will know that the [-] troops are in trouble. Unfortunately, there are very few people who have been to that bitter cold place.Even if they have been there, they don't know that transporting goods by merchants and marching are incomparable.

They only know that if the caravan can live in Congling, the army can live well.But I don’t know that the caravan is nomadic and lives along the way, and the cargo is only a trip between the two tribes. Who would run the whole journey from beginning to end? "

Ye Xiaoyi concluded: "So both the challenger and the challenged are idiots?"

At that time, my policy answer is: Your Majesty, don't follow me to be stupid?

This will definitely be approved, and the [-] army will be very tired of hearing it.I suggest that the imperial court do nothing here, and they will definitely refute: Are you responsible for something wrong?

Xiao Mo also had the same idea: "In your policy theory, you can focus on the strategy of using less against more. You can also analyze how the Tibetans, Turks, and Uyghurs in the rear should respond if the imperial court sends troops.

If you want to mention that the road to Congling is long, and the natural barrier of Jiujiu81 can drag down a hundred thousand troops, don't say it absolutely.In case the army of the Rong tribe has more than 20 troops, and the [-] troops are only here to lead the battle, even if tens of thousands are killed, the remaining tens of thousands occupy the Silk Road, and it is not easy to control when they reach the Yumen Pass and go straight to the capital.

You can tell in detail how the border defense should be arranged so that there are no omissions. "

Ye Xiaoyifu got down again and began to practice answering the questions by talking to himself: "The battle of few versus many is easy to write, I'll look through military books tomorrow, choose a few typical examples, and then summarize tactics and strategies, and I'm sure I'll pass the exam.

As for what will happen to the barbarians if the imperial court sends troops, the two fierce ethnic groups, Huihe and Tubo, must be staring at the Western Regions.It's not the first time they have thought about the Western Regions, and they may take advantage of the imperial soldiers to occupy the Western Regions or other places.

At that time, the imperial court will be attacked from three sides, but these small fish and shrimps should not have such a big appetite, so we won't just destroy the country like this, right? "

Suddenly thinking of something, Ye Xiaoyi immediately jumped up: "No, there is another you! What have you been busy with these days? Are you planning to take this opportunity to kill the emperor and replace him yourself?"

Xiao Mo, who was relaxing his muscles for Ye Xiaoyi, suddenly stopped, and looked innocently at Ye Xiaoyi, how did this guy guess?

When the snipe and the clam are fighting, it is nothing for the fisherman to gain. He is planning to catch the cicada with the mantis, and the oriole is behind.When the strength of the three parties was exhausted, his Eagle Fortress would also grow stronger, and it would be no problem to swallow three unsightly forces and expand the territory in one go.

Xiao Mo planned this, but he didn't tell anyone, why did this guy think of going with him?

Ye Xiaoyi collapsed on the bed, closed his eyes and said:

"Xiao Mo, if you become the emperor, will you kill me? You are still my slave according to your household registration. Do you want me to go to the government to release you now?"

Xiao Mo continued to massage the child, smiled and said, "No! It would be nice if our names can be written in a household registration book."

Ye Xiaoyi opened his eyes and looked at him: "Then, will you forget that I abused you?" You must forget!Remember not to mention, Your Majesty in the future...

Xiao Mo started to tickle him: "How could you forget? When I first arrived at your house, you didn't give me meat! You even ordered me to work and changed my name randomly.

I earned the money to buy "Xiaoyi", and then you let me go to sea cruelly.I wanted to see you, and came back disguised as Shantideva, and you scolded me!You are so hateful, I will tickle you to death..."

Ye Xiaoyi was scratched and rolled on the bed by him, the 17-year-old Xiao Mo threw himself on him, and then went to take off his pants to see how small he was. *.

Ye Xiaoyi hid back and forth, and then screamed!He was actually held there...

Ye Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and said, "Let go!"

Xiao Moxie laughed twice, and started to move, serving his baby.Ye Xiaoyi died of embarrassment, his brother was 12 years old and hadn't posted yet.What about Yu, what a mess!

Xiao Mo continued to work hard, Ye Xiaoyi was soon gasped by him.At the last moment, Ye Xiaoyi blushed and looked at Xiao Mo with watery eyes: "Let go..."

Xiao Mo smiled softly and said, "It's okay, vent it in my hands."

I didn't expect this little guy to be successful for the first time today.Xiao Mo suddenly became more gentle towards him.Afterwards, I cleaned him up, fed him sugar water, and let him sleep well.

Xiao Mo is someone who has experienced the matter of becoming a man, and he knows that if there is one, there are two.That night, Xiao Mo walked into Ye Xiaoyi's room and found that he had fallen in love in his dream.

Xiao Mo leaned over Ye Xiaoyi, watching his unbearable expression while helping him relieve it.After waking up from the dream, Ye Xiaoyi opened his eyes, "Why are you in my room?"

Xiao Mo admired his beautiful eyebrows at the moment, kissed his forehead and said: "In the next two or three days or even a few days, you will have this kind of desire. Hope, you have to learn to retract, so as to benefit your body, understand? ?”

Ye Xiaoyi blushed, and immediately chased him away: "Go, go, who doesn't have this kind of thing? Can you stop caring about my stuff? I want to grow up quietly alone!"

Xiao Mo's chest trembled, and he laughed out loud: "All right, all right, you can grow up quietly by yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, I will make soup for you tomorrow."

The next day Xiao Mo really boiled soup for him to make up for that.Grandma Ye knew what was going on when she saw the ingredients, she laughed and told her grandson not to be embarrassed, both of her sons came here like this.If the attack was so violent that it caused mental distress, dizziness and weakness, which would be bad for the exam, Ye Xiaoyi had no choice but to drink the soup obediently.

Xiao Mo looked at him with a smile, just like an old farmer watching the melons he planted finally blossom and bear fruit.It can be slaughtered...

Three days later, Ye Xiaoyi went to the Gong Yuan to take the government examination.

There were more than n times more people taking the exam this time. Candidates from Yangzhou's subordinate counties all came to Yangzhou Prefecture to take the promotion exam.The swarm of examinees he saw in front of the county yamen before was only a few hundred at most, but now this crowd of people is at least a few thousand, right?

The thought of being the first among so many people put Ye Xiaoyi under a lot of pressure.Forget it, let's let it go, all he can do is to try to get the top ranking.If he can't get the first place in a row, he can spend money to buy a place for the provincial examination for the school and political leaders.

Before the first exam this time, Ye Xiaoyi and the No. 1 candidates in the county exams were all interviewed by the Yangzhou magistrate.

The magistrate of Yangzhou is not as friendly as the county magistrate, but his attitude is as friendly as possible. After considering everyone's basic skills, he said to the effect: Everyone, take the exam well, you have talents, and I will never bury you. I will give you all kinds of recommendation opportunities .But you have to be honest, don't make troubles and make troubles in the examination room.Disadvantages, don't intervene.Get into other people's shit and go and so on.

After entering the arena, Ye Xiaoyi discovered that they were all arranged in the same examination room.Because there were too many people, Gongyuan set up four large examination rooms, and the other examination rooms were noisy, but their "Tian" examination room was silent even when entering the room.

It seems that the students in this examination room are all very enlightened and of good quality.Because the county where Ye Xiaoyi's students came from was relatively backward, his seat number was ranked [-].When the body search came in, he queued up for an hour before it was his turn, and he even left his tail and queued outside the courtyard gate.It happened to be able to eat melon seeds and watch other examination rooms being searched.

In the government examination, you cannot bring anything into the venue except for the exam.Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, meals, tea, quilts and medicines are all provided by the examination room. Of course, the examination fee is more expensive.

Candidates in the "Di" examination room next door are simply playing tricks. Someone wrote small characters on the soles of their shoes and copied the scriptures to be memorized on them.Some people copied characters on their thighs, some copied books in the sleeves of their clothes, and some hid notes in their hair.

Ye Xiaoyi was hilarious watching the police officers search him. Those officers stripped the students naked and loosened their hair one by one. Go check them out.
