The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

The young man was about the same age as his little apprentice, and he was a person who talked more than his little apprentice. He kept chattering around him all the time, but this added a little more fun to his lonely life at the border, so Zhao Si acquiesced. A boy appeared beside him.Occasionally he would come to this hillside to let the wind go, and the young man would ride over on his horse, and the two of them could meet.

It's not that Zhao Si didn't know that the boy liked him, but he never took it seriously. Such a young child, how could he know what liking and love are.

Seeing that the clouds in the west were gradually fading, he knew that the sun would set soon, and he knew that he should go back at this time, and the young man should go back to their side.Sitting up from the grass, Zhao Si looked at the young man who had been sitting beside him for a long time, and said, "Go back, I'm going back too."

"I..." Seeing that the man was about to leave, Ah Qi quickly grabbed the man's wrist. Zhao Si lowered his head and glanced at the wrist held by the young man, and asked the young man if he had anything else to do, and if he should Let go of his hand.

After a pause, Ah Qi realized what he wanted to ask, "I...you, will you come tomorrow?"

"Not necessarily. Well, be good, go back, it's not peaceful recently, you don't want to run around alone." Zhao Si can tell from the boy's clothes that the boy's status should be quite high in the tribe.It's just that he still doesn't know that the boy's identity is a prince.

He didn't want the young man to come here at the risk of seeing him. The grassland has not been peaceful recently. If something unexpected happened to the young man just to see him, he would feel very sorry.

"Are you caring about me?" Aqi asked happily.

Zhao Si didn't answer his question, but just smiled at the boy, laughing at his innocence.

Just as he was about to get on the horse, he remembered something. Zhao Si suddenly remembered how the young man wanted his wine just now. After thinking about it, he took off the wine bag hanging from his waist, threw it to the young man, and said, There is still a little left, I will give it to you. I will buy you a drink when I have a chance in the future."

"Okay, you have to remember, buy me a drink next time." What the boy wanted was to meet a man next time.

"Go back." Zhao Si got on his horse and signaled the young man to get on his own horse.

The two got on their horses and ran in two different directions. Zhao Si rode his horse and stood on the high slope. When he saw the young man going to the opposite side to join his tribe, he turned his horse and headed towards the camp. direction to go back.The two met for a short time, and then went back to their respective places. The next time they will meet is still unknown.

The clouds in the west gradually faded, and the sun set.

At this time, the news of the border customs was rushed to the capital and presented to the prince's desk.

Good news came from the border: General Zhao Hao led troops to attack the enemy at night, entered the enemy's king's tent, captured the head of the enemy commander, burned the enemy's food and grass, and directly disturbed the enemy's interior... So this battle Before the official fight, Hu Jun withdrew.

"A letter from the border, the barbarians have retreated."

In the early morning of the second day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince announced the news in front of all the court officials, saying, "The soldiers who have made great achievements in this battle will be rewarded. These are our great warriors."

If it weren't for these warriors who risked their lives to attack the enemy's camp at night, the battle between Dacheng and the Hu people would have been inevitable. Once a battle broke out, it is unknown how many people would die.The imperial court originally planned to send reinforcements to the border, but they did not expect that the crisis would be resolved before the reinforcements set off.

This is all thanks to sneaking into the enemy camp at risk of death in this battle, killing the general of the Hu army and burning the enemy's food and grass, which made the Hu people retreat.

"The barbarian retreated?"

"The Hu people really retreated?"

"Didn't His Royal Highness just say that the barbarians have retreated, can there be any falsehood?"

The officials in the court still couldn't believe that the Hu people had retreated so easily, and they were discussing this issue one after another.The issue of the border has always been a matter of concern to everyone. Now that the Hu people have retreated, there is no need to fight, and some officials don't have to worry all day long, worrying that the Hu army will break through the gate and come to the capital.

Hearing that His Royal Highness said that he would reward the soldiers at the border, all the officials agreed. This time, no one had any disagreement.

Discussion.

This time the crisis at the border was lifted, and the faces of both the prince and the officials in the court were obviously relaxed. Otherwise, the external and internal troubles at this moment would probably cause turmoil in the court.Now that there is no one soldier at the border, the crisis has been resolved. This is thanks to the soldiers at the border, and these soldiers should be rewarded.

After the early court ended, the officials of the court came out of the main hall, and their walking pace became obviously easier.

Along with the news from the border, there was also a letter from his master. Li Wen read the letter, "Master, he... is simply bold, this is simply..." This man simply did not take himself seriously. Safety is a priority!What if something happened? That was a camp of hundreds of thousands of Hu troops. If they were caught, they would definitely have no chance of surviving.

Fortunately, people are fine!Otherwise, I would never have had the chance to write him this letter.

Even if he didn't personally participate in the process, Li Wen could still imagine the thrill of this assassination mission.

From the perspective of national righteousness, exchanging the minimum price for the end of a war can save more sacrifices.But from a personal point of view, if he had been there at that time, he would have prevented the master from taking the risk to do such a thing.

"Fortunately, it's good that I can come back safely." Knowing that the person is safe and sound, Li Wen was worried and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.After putting down the letter in his hand, he wrote an article with his own hand and asked someone to send it to the newspaper office, requesting that it be typeset and sent for publication today, and this edition of the newspaper should be published today.

On this day, the Kyoto Daily published an additional newspaper, which published the news that Hu Jun had retreated and the danger at the border had been lifted.above also

An article reported on the warriors who went to the enemy camp to attack at night, and highly praised and praised the patriotic behavior of these warriors.

As soon as this newspaper was published that day, it still caused a great sensation in the capital, and many people were discussing this matter one after another.

As autumn and winter come, the weather in Beijing is getting colder and colder.

The first snow fell, and the whole capital city was covered with a layer of snow white, covered with plain silver.

As the end of the new year approaches, the taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a constant flow of cars, horses and pedestrians on the street.After the death of the first emperor, the lives of the people were not affected at all. How to live or how to live, the people would talk about the border stop fighting and the barbarians retreating in the chat after dinner.

For the common people, it is a good thing if they can fight instead of fighting, and the imperial court will not conscript soldiers.

In the eyes of the common people, whichever emperor can make them eat well and live a good life, then be the emperor.

However, because of the death of the first emperor this year, and during the national mourning period, the brothels in the city were closed and not allowed to open. No matter whether it was officials in the court or ordinary people, they were forbidden to seek pleasure.All restaurants and inns in the city are prohibited from selling alcohol, and if caught, they will be punished.

During this sensitive period, the officials in the court are afraid that if they are carefully rescued, they will be demoted and thrown out of office by the one above them. Once they are caught and sued before His Royal Highness, their official careers in this life will be over. up.His Highness the Crown Prince always seems to have a smile on his face, but after this turmoil, everyone understands that this Crown Prince seems to have no temper at all, but His Highness the Crown Prince is really the worst The person who provoked him, if not, the one sitting on it today would not be the prince, it might be another prince.

Now sitting in the top position is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but it is only a short ceremony, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can put on a dragon robe and sit on a dragon chair, and now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is their king, their son of heaven, and they will To whom one should be loyal.Since His Royal Highness took over the power, the officials who originally belonged to the First Prince, Third Prince, and Fourth Prince were either dismissed or demoted, and transferred away from the capital. These people will never return to the capital to serve as officials for the rest of their lives.

So at this time, officials in the DPRK and China should be more careful.

Due to his advanced age, Dong Xian offered to resign and return to his hometown. "The minister is really powerless and cannot continue to serve the court. I am ashamed of the late emperor..." After the death of his daughter and grandson, Dong Xian knew that the Dong family should If he wanted to withdraw from the court, he could no longer stay in the capital, so before the crown prince made an attack on him, he proposed to resign first, in order to preserve their Dong clan.

Otherwise, when the crown prince takes action against him, their Dong family will really die.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince repeatedly persuaded him to stay, and only approved the paper when Dong Xian submitted the paper for the first time and proposed to retire and return to his hometown, and allowed Dong Xiang to resign and go back.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Dong Xiang became much older, got up from the ground tremblingly, bid farewell to His Royal Highness, and left the palace

Dong Xiang resigned and handed over all the powers in his hands.

Looking at the leaving figure, Yang Shaomu scolded the old fox in his heart, Dong Xian is a smart man, he knew that he offered to resign and hand over the power to him, so he would not do anything to him.On this point, Dong Xian was indeed betting right.

With Concubine Dong Gui and the Seventh Prince dead, Dong Xian no longer poses any threat to him.It's not that Yang Shaomu doesn't know what Dong Xian has done these years. He even has some evidence in his hands, and he just waits for the day when Dong Xian will be taken down.

Yin.

It's just that he wants to kill them all at this time, and this approach is too much for my wife.

So what if Dong Xian and the Dong family are let go?Presumably there is no need for him to do it himself. There will always be some people who have offended the Dong family in the past and will not let them go. Presumably the Dong family will not live well in the future.And this has nothing to do with him.
