Emperor Son Sang gl

The 17th year of Antong in Great Ning, June [-]th.

The battle situation on the front line was reported. After the Yan army captured the Eighteenth City of Jiangzhou, strict defenses were carried out at the borders of the occupied cities, and gold medals were hung up everywhere, and there was no more movement.The morale of the Daning soldiers also plummeted after several consecutive defeats, and the morale of the soldiers was even worse when they learned about the exemption.Bai Daocheng learned that he ordered a careful confrontation with the Yan army, took strict precautions, and made no plans to attack the Yan army for the time being.

At this time, the Yan army had already occupied half of Daning's rivers and mountains.

It can be said to be what the people want.

"At that time, the subordinate was originally a secret guard next to the prince. In the 46th year of Shunhe, the master issued an order to his subordinates to join the army and go to Bai Daocheng's side without fear of life and death. At that time, the prince The answer given by the master to his subordinates was that in 20 years, after 20 years, the mission would end.

I joined the army alone and worked hard in the army, never deliberately showing off, and never falling behind.Three years later, when I was only a small unit in the army, Bai Daocheng changed his regime and became emperor.That year, in order to train a group of trustworthy manpower around him, he personally came to the army to select candidates.

I lived up to the prince's trust, Bai Daocheng chose me.But he picked many people, and I was just one of them.So, I used all my thoughts and means to fight at the top among the crowd, and even repelled the enemy many times during the frontier battles, which made Bo Daocheng look more and more at me with admiration.

For the next ten years, I continued to expand the territory for Bai Daocheng and made great military exploits.I knew that Bo Daocheng believed in me, but at the same time he was jealous of me, so I submitted a memorial and asked to leave.

Then, I took my original confidants and spent seven years transforming the eighteen cities of Jiangzhou into a world like a small country.In the hearts of all the people in the Jiangzhou area, they still regard Dayan as the main body, and like their subordinates, they play tricks against the Daning Dynasty, just to stick to the last bit of faith in their hearts.

Finally, 20 years have come, and I have been waiting for you.Now, I hand over Jiangzhou to you, and I also dedicate all the people and my blood to Dayan. "

Zi Sang Yu bowed and helped Li Chang up.

The 17th year of Antong in Great Ning, at the end of June.

It was a time when the land to which Dayan belonged was basically settled down. Zi Sang Yu and all the soldiers who worked hard on the front line held a celebration banquet.Fireworks ignited everywhere in the Eighteenth City of Jiangzhou, and the dark night was filled with gorgeous lights to celebrate the difficulties of everyone during this period.

In the Jiangzhou Garrison Mansion, people above the rank of general and lieutenant gathered together.

The bright moon hangs high and casts a silver light all over the place. I can see a dozen or twenty people of various kinds sitting at a table.There was one person in the seat, wearing a light gauze and quilt, smiling quietly, and did not respond to this scene.

Of course, not all generals are like this.Lian Xin, Gu Tang, Zhao Gan and Zi Sang Yu who were standing by the side had the same demeanor, and they didn't seem unusually excited about the banquet.

As for Li Chang, the Jiangzhou guard, he was having a good time with one or two senior guards - after all, they are brothers who have been separated for so many years, and they have endured for so many years, so they must have a lot to say.

"Your Highness, look at this..." Beside Lianxin, he hesitated to speak.

Zi Sang Yu raised his eyes lightly, focusing on the banquet in front of him.

Tonight's celebration banquet, in order to please everyone, some subordinates went to the local brothel to find a group of singers.They are all a group of young women with excellent figures and good looks, and they are also pleasing to the eye when they dance.These rough guys who have been marching and fighting for so many years are naturally not as cautious as literati. In this lively drinking situation, there are so few people who are frivolous about those singers in front of their faces.

Lian Xin could see Zi Sang Yu's displeasure.

Because her hands were turning white while pinching the wine glass.

When Gu Tang looked up, he saw some signals in Lian Xin's eyes.Looking at the banquet again, he immediately coughed a few times knowingly, and scolded softly: "Old horse, why are you guys so impatient in front of His Highness! Hurry up and stop, what are you doing after the banquet when no one sees you?" go!"

"Yes, yes, let's listen to General Gu!"

A few generals involved in the incident over there chuckled and didn't move any more, but their eyes were still strange.

"..." Zi Sang Yu snorted sullenly, not in a good mood.But in general, these generals are also partners and subordinates who have been through life and death during this period of time.They have these needs, and it is impossible to stop them. There are too many suffering women in this world, and they sit in high positions, so they can't help them too much.

He has not become an emperor today, and has no real power to save others!

These, as if nothing has been seen...

"Your Highness, I will not dare to ask you something." Zhao Gan, who was also wandering outside the banquet, said, "Since the capture of the eighteen cities in Jiangzhou, Your Highness has told his subordinates that he intends to make a truce with Daning. Let's go to war to support the people. However, I don't know if His Highness has any plans?"

Gongsun Zheng, who was drinking, sobered up for a moment, and smiled slightly at Zhao Qian's rescue.

"Our army has had one season since the start of the war. This is just one season. We followed the original territory and took down Luoguan City on the Jiang'an River, as well as the eighteen cities of Jiangzhou, which stretches far and wide. Now, our army has already fought against the Dalai Lama. Ning divides the world, and is no longer an existence that would be easily defeated by Daning at the beginning."

Zi Sangyu in the seat spoke seriously.After all, these people are men in the army. Even after drinking, at this moment, they still showed some sobriety to listen quietly.

"Your Highness! Since our morale is already high, why don't we continue to fight!" A general shouted.

Zi Sangyu shook his head, "Continuing to fight, our soldiers will run out, and the backup may not keep up with the progress of the march. Moreover, in the first two large-scale battles, we did not have too many casualties, and we won too much. Simple. If the battle from now on is tough, I'm afraid it won't be as good as we thought."

The generals couldn't help nodding frequently, choking on the logic of this set.

After all, you are still growing up amidst this cruelty... Lian Xin sighed softly, feeling a little distressed.

"But my dear generals, don't think that this is the end of our fight," Zi Sangyu smiled and stood up.The general wanted to stand up with her, but she raised her hand to stop her.

"Since our journey, we have gained the support of many people. Now, I just want to rectify the current city and let Daning see how we live in the land of Dayan. I want him to let Baijia Jiangshan not The attack is self-defeating. The ruler of the world, after all, the people's hearts are the most important thing, if the Bai family has lost the people's hearts, what are we afraid of?"

Yuan's old man, Sun Zheng, was quite excited when he heard this, and he stood up with the wine in his hand.

"Your Highness! Please forgive me if I made any mistakes in the past! The old minister really understands today. Your Highness is really different from before. It's getting more and more..." Gongsun Zheng paused, tears in his eyes: " He looks more and more like the prince who was full of imperial spirit back then."

After saying that, Gongsun Zheng quickly poured a cup.

The other generals also stood up to toast together, and more than half of them had tears in their eyes when they mentioned Prince Tong.

"You people..." Zi Sangyu was a little helpless and wanted to scold him, but found himself speechless and choked up when he mentioned that great father. "Okay, okay, listen to me first, I still have the second half. Sit down, sit down, sit back for me, I am standing so that you can listen to me."

"As ordered..."

Zi Sangyu looked at everyone in the table and pondered for a while.

"Now, are you ready for July?"

"Return to Your Highness, it will be July in two days."

Zi Sangyu nodded, "I remember that the imperial examination was held in Daning the year before last, right? It is a new year every three years. In terms of the year, it should be this year." As he spoke, everyone in the banquet smiled brightly: "It's just that this year's war is chaotic. Judging by the situation in Daning, the imperial examination will not be held. Now that I, Dayan, need new talents, it is a good time to select a group of young talents to protect our family and the country...I plan to issue an order Order, from all townships to towns and prefectures to conduct scientific examinations, I will pass a new autumn examination and recruit a group of new people."

"Autumn test..."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised.

Some generals in the side seat were startled by Zi Sang Yu's words, and quietly pulled Gu Tang's sleeves: "General Gu! Does Your Highness want to find someone to replace us?..."

"Presumptuous, how can you guess His Highness!" Gu Tang glared at him, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

Although I still believe in my heart that His Highness wants to reuse the generals present, it's just... how can I say today is a celebration banquet, and His Highness cuts to the chase like this, I'm afraid some people will start to feel dissatisfied... eh.

Zi Sang Yuquan couldn't hear a word whispered at the table, so he still smiled lightly:

"I believe that you are good generals of my Dayan, and you will definitely lead the newcomers with all your heart in the future. Every achievement these newcomers have in the future will be due to all of you. I remember that you fought for my son Sang's family, Naturally, I will not be an ungrateful monarch."

What else can this say?

The future emperor has already said that this matter will not delay the official career of the elders, and he also put down the condition that the elders will have a better life if the new courtiers get along well. In this way, even if they don’t want to accept new officials, they have to change their words to support the new deal chant.

"The ministers should do their best to be loyal to His Highness!"

"All love will be free!"

-His Royal Highness plans to hold an autumn test to recruit new students?

-right.Now Dayan has conquered half of the country, but my subordinates are still the old ministers left to me by my father.If the new emperor ascends the throne one day in the future, I will have my own card no matter what.It's not like you don't know that at the beginning, the people that King Haigu recommended to me were all convinced by him.

- I understand that.It's just His Highness, will they agree to the autumn trial?

- It is imperative for me to accept new students in the autumn trial.I won't let anyone stop this from happening.The old ministers must be worried about their own interests, as long as they balance their hearts, they can naturally...

- Now that Daning is in the period of decline, His Highness is trying to recruit new people at this time. I think there must be many capable people who are willing to contribute their own strength to Dayan. I'm afraid the threshold has been broken.

-Haha, brother Yi's words are not unreasonable!

Therefore, the matter of recruiting new students in the autumn trial was settled in the middle of the month.

At the beginning of the month, the city was attacked and Jiangzhou was captured; in the middle of the month, there was a truce, and the gate of the city hung a sign of exemption from war; the young emperor wanted to accept the new, and he wanted to overcome all opinions;

A lot has happened this month.

If you look at everything this month from Lian Xin's point of view, there is one thing - starting from June 17 in the Antong of the Great Ning, the name of Lian Xin has since become Zi Sang Yu's one of the few What a man of complete trust.This matter is enough to make Lian Xin remember him for a lifetime.

--------------------------------

Just after the Qixi Festival in early July, cities and even towns under the jurisdiction of Dayan posted an imperial list.

"According to the decree of His Royal Highness Dayan Emperor and Sun, the edict is as follows: One season will pass, and the land of Dayan will stretch for half of the rivers and mountains. The confrontation with Ningbai has become an unchangeable trend; the auspicious purple light in the sky today must indicate that Dayan will recover the rivers and mountains. Jing Liangchen specially ordered all localities to carry out the civil and military examinations in autumn according to the imperial edict, and take the township examination as the check, and go to Jiangzhou for a unified examination. All cities, towns, and villages must not have any partiality and deception about this matter. After receiving the order, it will start in August Examination. In June of the same year, Zi Sang Yu."

"(Seal seal) Edict of Emperor Sang, the son of Dayan Dynasty." (This is the jade seal left by Prince Tong)

The people in the town gathered in front of Huangbang, and when they heard these words, they immediately exploded.

"Oh, according to what the scholar said, is this His Royal Highness going to do scientific research?"

"I think it is! Look at our Highness, who has been invincible since he sent troops! Presumably it won't take long to renew the matter. In this way, His Highness must need talents and pillars! No, I have to go back and tell me that Son go!"

"Yes, yes, Xiucai just read it, and this time is the civil and martial arts examination in the autumn!" A crowd looked at the person who had just read the emperor's list to the big guy: "Xiucai, this is an opportunity, you were unlucky before Good name Luosun Shan, don't let it go this time!"

The young man who was called a scholar just smiled lightly.

At that time, Sun Shan's reputation was lost because he was not rich and had no connections to manage the so-called official career.There are so many snobbish people in this world, how can someone as poor as himself be able to stand out... The young man turned his head and glanced at the imperial list, and the ambitious ambitions that had been suppressed in his heart for many years seemed to start to flow again.

Zi Sang Yu...will be the one to change everything?

More and more people came to watch, and the crowd was so crowded that the young man couldn't help taking a few steps back.The soldiers who were standing next to the emperor's list hastily clenched their spears to maintain order, and shouted: "His Royal Highness has an order that anyone who aspires to serve the imperial court will be eligible for scientific examinations regardless of origin or age! If the local officials cheat, once they report , Immediately imprisoned!"

Regardless of origin or age...

The young man couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

The matter of the autumn examination and scientific examination spread across the north and south of the country with lightning speed.That's right, in addition to knowing about the land under the jurisdiction of Dayan, there is also the long-standing Daning domain in this matter.

The emperor Bai Daocheng is naturally very angry, why is this son Sang Yu getting more and more angry!In this situation, there is still time for scientific research... If you don't make any movement, you seem to lose face again... It's just that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are intimidated by Dayan's aura or something else. The battles fought by the Daning State Treasury, Money and silver can't even print test paper!

The people of Daning took to the streets, talking about it with great interest.The most special thing is that there are many young talents with ambitions among them, planning to find a way to go to Jiangzhou for scientific research.

And the second prince, who had been rushed by the war and returned to the Central Plains for defense, was guarding the city north of Jiangzhou.Originally full of enthusiasm to lead a large army back, intending to have a good fight with the sister-in-law who committed a heinous crime. Unexpectedly, Yanjun took the first step to capture Jiangzhou City, and the imperial court ordered a war-free defense, forcefully suppressing the anger. down.

Now the second prince is very depressed, so he can only get drunk in the mansion every day, and get bored.

Jiangzhou.

The weather in Jiangzhou is quite nice today.

Zi Sangyu saw that the sun was not bad and there was still some wind, so he specially called Lian Xin and a few dark guards to go out in micro-clothes.I heard that there is an ancient temple on the top of the hill west of Jiangzhou, and the gods in it are quite effective, so why not go and have a look.

"This Jiangzhou is indeed a good place..."

Walking in these green mountains and green waters can be said to be very comfortable.

"Yes..." Zi Sangyu nodded in agreement and smiled: "It's also fortunate that Li Chang only spent seven years building such a good place with beautiful mountains, rivers and people. In just seven years, he can make the people of Jiangzhou He kept everything secret about this matter, you can say that this person is capable beyond the heavens."

"Li Zhoubei has been on the battlefield for many years, and he used to be the commander of the hidden guards next to the prince, so he is naturally capable." Lian Xin was talking, but received a secret report from the side of the dark guards.

"His Royal Highness, there is a letter from the capital of Daning, just arrived in Jiangzhou today."

Hearing the word "capital", Zi Sangyu couldn't help but twitched his eyebrows.He reached out to take the letter, and opened it with a flick of the letter paper.The first thing I saw was the familiar handwriting in the letter...

"I can't explain it personally, I'm pregnant with you and my flesh and blood; I complain that the heavens don't follow what others want, and there are too many chaos in the middle; there is no other word, I hope my husband will find his way back as soon as possible; repent of all these old things, let's reunite together."

This is indeed Bai Qingran's handwriting.

Zi Sangyu didn't even pay attention to the content of the letter, but just stared at these words and words, thinking of that person.

The bad excuse of being pregnant with Liujia... Bai Daocheng can also think of it?Zi Sangyu couldn't help smiling wryly, if he was really a man, he might have delayed the march because of this incident.But Bai Daocheng can't be counted no matter what, he has never been a bloody man.

"No complaints, no regrets..." Zi Sangyu smiled, folded the letter paper, and put it in his arms.

Since you still believe in me, I will still work hard for you.

One day, I will stand in front of you.

wait for me.
