I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

Lin Xuan couldn't care about the follow-up matters anymore. When he got home, he took a bath first, ate a grilled fish, drank a bowl of purple potato porridge, and slept happily until dawn.

"Is today a rest, or is it working time?"

In the early morning, Lin Xuan woke up and arranged the working hours. Lin Xuan was a little confused.

In addition, Lin Xuan thought of one thing, he is now the Grand Priest of the Guozijian, does he need to go to the early court?

In addition, in my impression, it seems that to become the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, I have to go to the early court, right?

do you need?

Don't you need it?

hiss……

Trying hard to recall, it seems that no one has told him whether to go to court, and there is no notice.

In addition, if he really went to court without making any noise clear, he was afraid that there would be some accidents, which might endanger his life, which would be quite a trap.

In addition, after he left, what position should he stand for such a young minister, the Grand Priest of the Imperial College?

Thinking about the people he knew, it seemed that Luo Wenlun, the Minister of Honglu Temple, had the highest official position, so he should know.

But should he ask Luo Wenlun, Lin Xuan hesitated again.

After all, when he first went to Honglu Temple, he didn't feel very good about the minister of Honglu Temple.

Moreover, Luo Wenlun also came from a family in theory. In the heyday of the Luo family, they publicly declared that Luo, the capital of heaven, was their Luo family.

However, this is all a matter of the previous dynasty.

It doesn't matter to ordinary people whether Luo in Tiandu Beiluo represents Luoshui or the Luo family.

Perhaps it was because the Luo family was too arrogant at that time, and after the establishment of Daqian, the status of the Luo family, which had the merits of a dragon, was in an embarrassing position.

This is also the reason why Luo Wenlun stayed in the position of Minister of Honglu Temple for ten years.

As for the family that wanted to kill Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan didn't know whether there was a copy of the Luo family.

But he understood that, like many aristocratic families, Luo Wenlun must be the same as other aristocratic families, and he was not happy to see him.

Therefore, if he asks at this time, he will inevitably be caught. At that time, he will take the initiative to get into the trap of the rules and kill himself.

Ask Du Yi of Honglu Temple?

This seems to be an option, but Du Yi's rash behavior is not safe.

After all, Lin Xuan discovered it here. In this world, the more ignorant people are, the easier it is to show flaws, and the easier it is to be tragic.

Ask the four priests of the Guozijian about offering wine?

Ah, looking at the situation he encountered on the first day of going to the Imperial College, one can clearly see that these old guys are not good people, they are just talking about benevolence and morality when teaching and educating people.

In other words, they are righteous, noble, and benevolent among some people.

However, there will never be much nobleness and kindness towards a remnant of the former nobles like Lin Xuan.

This world is really confusing.

It is really too difficult to live a good life.

Finally, ask Zhao Yuehan?

Yes, Zhao Yuehan has a relationship with Empress Ji Handan, so she should know the answer.

Or at least help him to ask for instructions as to whether he should go to court for such a noble and honorable priest.

After all, if time drags on for a long time, if you should go to court but fail to go to court, you will be impeached.

It will be a very big trouble if the advantage gained by playing so many cards is exhausted in the blink of an eye.

Forget it, let's wait until Zhao Yuehan comes.

Moreover, during this period of time, Lin Xuan, who is the chief examiner of the imperial examination, still has some finishing work to do, and it is estimated that he will be busy for a while.

At the same time, the big families will also look forward to it, and they will pay attention to whether their children will pass the imperial examination, whether they can revive the family, whether they can honor their ancestors and their families.

In this way, for the time being, no one would be willing to attack him.

Just wait.

……

Honglu Temple Dianmao, no work, go home to fish.

Rest and bath the next day, no work, no visitors, continue fishing.

On the third day, I rested and had no work, no visitors, and continued to fish. Zhao Yuehan didn't come, which was a pity.

On the fourth day, the Guozijian went to work at midnight, and it cannot be said that there was no work, but Lin Xuan never expected that he would be blocked by the students of the Guozijian again.

"Da Jijiu, did you come up with the questions for this scientific examination?"

"Great sacrificial wine, how many chickens and rabbits are there?"

"Great sacrificial wine, how should those cases be judged?"

"Great sacrificial wine, what does the guests on board have anything to do with governing the country?"

"Great sacrificial wine, why can't even the farm disciples answer the question of farming?"

"Da Jijiu, there are rumors that you wrote the questions for this scientific examination. Are these rumors true?"

……

Ah this...

This is really a group of aristocratic children who love to learn.

Lin Xuan looked at these Guozijian students and knew that if he didn't give an answer today, it would be difficult to get results.

"After the results are released, the imperial examination and imperial examination are over. You can come here to attend lectures. I know I will tell you. Now, I have no comment!"

With a wave of his hand, Lin Xuan went home in a carriage.

Seeing that there were still students from the Guozijian coming out and asking non-stop, Lin Xuan said again: "By the way, regarding the rumor, you can take the person who told you the rumor to the Ministry of Punishment, maybe there will be a reward."

You don't need to guess, you can know what kind of aristocratic family is doing trouble.

Different from the previous assassinations, they were afraid of being ransacked and exterminated like the previous aristocratic families, so they used other methods.

In addition, the Guozijian can't stay here for the time being. Anyway, there are still four sacrificial wines. With or without his big sacrificial wine, the Guozijian can operate normally.

……

In the Taining Palace, Empress Ji Handan and Empress Dowager Li Ningyan were looking at the list of scientific examinations, and by the way, they were drafting the questions for the imperial examination and imperial examination.

After all, this imperial examination is related to the national fortune and future of the entire Dagan, so we must be more cautious.

In addition, they were shocked by the role papermaking played in the imperial examinations.

This is just a preliminary application of papermaking.

I believe that it will play more and more roles in the future, and there will be more obvious effects in enhancing the strength of Dagan.

"Your Majesty, urgent report to the South Camp!"

At this time, an official from the Pojun Mansion arrived with an urgent report with three chicken feathers inserted.

"Bring it up."

Empress Ji Handan frowned.

Could it be that the state of Chu did not give up and planned to attack the state occupied by Dagan?

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan continued to look at the imperial examination questions, as if she was not at all anxious about the sudden border report.

"Your Majesty, Fan Yangbing respectfully, recently, the Nanyue Kingdom heard that there were millions of famines in our Daqianxiang Prefecture. They took advantage of the situation and mobilized 15 troops to invade the southern border. Lizhi County fell, and the border was in a hurry. Due to several battles with the Chu Kingdom, the Zhennan Camp lost troops and lost generals. At present, there are only 3 battle-ready soldiers, with less than three months' worth of food and grass, and have already marched to the front line, please send troops to support!"

After reading the urgent report, the empress Ji Handan didn't say much, but handed the urgent report to Queen Mother Li Ningyan.

Nanyue Kingdom is a small country similar to Chengjiang Kingdom, located on the border.

These places are high mountains and full of miasma. Even if you want to attack, you will often fail to reach the destination, and a large number of soldiers will be infected with the plague, and most of them will be lost.

Even if they captured the city of Nanyue, they would fall into the quagmire of war due to inconvenient transportation and other factors, which would waste the country's strength and not worth the loss.

Therefore, even the previous dynasty turned a blind eye to a small country like the Nanyue Kingdom and ignored it.

Except when the sun was setting in the former dynasty and the west mountain was setting, the king of Nanyue Kingdom felt that the time had come, so he decided to jump his face forward and send troops to attack.

Who would have thought that the former Zhou Mu, who guarded Lingzhou at that time, was a ruthless man, so he led an army of [-] into the South Vietnam Kingdom, pushed all the way, and even wiped out the South Vietnam royal family.

Unexpectedly, after a hundred years, the king of the newly established Nanyue Kingdom felt that he could do it again.

"What is the Pojun Mansion going to do?"

Empress Ji Handan asked.

"The ministers thought that by mobilizing [-] forbidden troops, recruiting [-] local troops, and raising some food and grass to support them, they could defeat Nanyue."

The officials of the Pojun government reported everything.

This is the way they quickly negotiated before they came.

"So, what about the food and grass needed?"

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan put down the urgent report in her hand and asked calmly.

It was easy to transfer the North Luo Imperial Army, and it was also easy to recruit local troops, but it was not so easy to get enough food and grass to support this expedition.

Not to mention that in order to deal with the Northern Territory's first battle against Wei, and the food and grass that supported several big battalions, Dagan had already been stretched to raise food and grass during several battles.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to return the land of one state and three counties of Wei State to the eight counties.

In addition, the famine in Xiangzhou this time had a great impact on Dagan, which directly made it more difficult for Dagan to raise food and grass. Not at 01:30.

To be blunt.

Even in the current campaign, there is simply no food and grass to support an army of 6 people.

Dagan's only hope is in the Royal Manor, but the fairy food in the manor will take at least a month or so to mature.

"In terms of food and grass, the Pojun Mansion will try to raise as much as possible."

The official from the Pojun Mansion saluted and could only say this.

To be honest, the Pojun Mansion has coordinated the food and supplies of the Ministry of Commerce, and it is really difficult to raise so much.

You can't go to other states and counties anymore. If the people in other states and counties have no food to eat, it will not be a famine in Xiangzhou.

"Send a letter to Fan Yangbing first, allowing him to recruit troops on the spot. For food and grass, he can directly use the local treasury to raise as much as he can."

Empress Ji Handan said.

This can be regarded as the basic operation of her daily expeditions.

In fact, in terms of using troops, the concept of defending the home and the country is a macro concept, and many ordinary people don't feel much about it.

However, as long as they explain to them that the food in their family and the old hens raised at home will not be robbed by others, they will be able to break out unimaginable fighting power.

Make good use of this morale, and after the war starts, you will be invincible.

As for the follow-up failure problem...

Empress Ji Handan never thought about it.

Because none of the opponents she fought with could survive the first wave of attacks.

"Yes!"

Po Junfu officials took the order to leave.

The decision made just now will be delivered to the frontline general Fan Yangbing in an expedited way of [-] miles.

Here, Empress Ji Handan and Empress Dowager Li Ningyan discussed with each other again.

There are three main problems.

Now is not a year ago, as a female emperor, she shouldn't have to go to war frequently, especially for a small country like Nanyue.

Although doing so can spread the prestige of Daqian, it will also cause troubles in other small neighboring countries.

In this way, Dagan will fall into a situation of being exhausted.

This is what Lin Xuan originally predicted.

The second thing is that Dagan's first imperial examination is at a critical moment. As the empress, Ji Handan must stabilize herself, sit in the capital, and select talents, otherwise this imperial examination will inevitably become a big joke.
