CHAPTER XXIV
Everyone laughed at what they said, Cui Lingrong laughed for a while before saying: "You deserve it, if you don't want to study hard with Brother Lin, you will learn from the teacher in the future, Brother Lin, you help me watch him, and if you don't learn honestly, you will hit him with a ring ruler in the palm of his hand." ”
Tang Yuelin couldn't help laughing, Tang Yuehan gloated, but Tang Yuehao couldn't cry or laugh, but it was a happy scene.
And Tang Yueqi followed Aunt Wang back to the courtyard, only then did she show anxiety and asked: "Auntie, what should I do if I don't do well in the exam, I'm too nervous, and I don't read those history books much on weekdays." ”
Aunt Wang comforted: "Don't worry, eldest lady, you have enough poems and songs to read on weekdays, and the academy will not embarrass you too much in front of the general." ”
Tang Yueqi could only comfort herself, and hoped that she could do better than Tang Yuehan.
Within two days, the school sent someone to spread the news that Tang Yuehan and the four of them could enter the school to study. According to the six arts in history, the school has six categories of courses such as etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, and because many children of the family are willing to learn medical skills, there are also medical courses taught by young imperial doctors from the imperial doctor's order, but they also teach some skin. After Tang Yuehan and the four of them passed the entrance exam, they could go to the university the next day to choose the courses they wanted to study, but they could only choose four categories of study in a year.
Tang Yuehan discussed with Cui Lingrong and decided to learn music, archery, books and medical skills in this year, although the things learned in medicine must not be as much as learned in the Divine Medicine Valley before, but if you choose medical skills, you can go to the library of the school to borrow more ancient medical books, which is also very good.
Tang Yuehao and Tang Yuelin were taken to the study by Tang Yiwu, Tang Yuelin did quite well in the exam this time, and several teachers in the school who could only do it all day long also praised him, Tang Yuelin also made plans for his year, he knew that he had no talent in martial arts, so he naturally chose the four categories of etiquette, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.
Tang Yuehao was scolded by Tang Yiwu with a bitter face at the moment, Tang Yuehao also knew that he didn't know anything about poetry and songs, and said with a dog's smile: "Dad, you also know that I haven't had these things since I was a child, hehe." Tang Yi glared angrily: "Then what do you say? You will learn two a year? You are really a shame for our general's mansion!"
Tang Yuehao replied with a hippie smile: "Dad, don't be angry, these two of me will definitely be able to get the first place in Xiaobi! I will go to war with my father in two years, and I will definitely fight for the general's mansion when the time comes!"
Tang Yiwu was also helpless, so he let Tang Yuehao go, after all, he had planned to take his son to the battlefield in two years, and in the past two years, the border nomads have become more and more arrogant, and sooner or later they will have to beat them hard.
Tang Yueqi is discussing what to learn in Aunt Wang at the moment, Aunt Wang thinks that women will marry sooner or later, and there is no need to learn this kind of royal and archery, so she directly decided to learn etiquette, music, books, and mathematics in the next two years.
If Tang Yuehan knew Aunt Wang's thoughts, she would have laughed crazy, and she didn't want to think about how many girls there were in the prince's mansion, whether she could be favored was one thing, even if she was favored and wanted to be a big mother, the one with the title would only be the mother-in-law, and the concubine room would still be a concubine.
Don't mention this, and now, the four children have begun their school careers.
However, just as Tang Yiwu thought, the nomads became more and more rampant day by day, and this time they even joined forces to attack the unsuspecting border Rin Yue City, and the people and soldiers of Rin Yue City were killed and wounded, and there was an uproar in the court.
Since the state of Chu annexed the southern kingdom eleven years ago, it has never been at war, and Emperor Jiayuan, the monarch of Chu, has been mild in the past two years, but it has emboldened this nomadic people to come and invade.
There is no minister above the government and the opposition who is not angry, the state of Chu is heavy on martial arts, even if the civil ministers are more or less able to do kung fu, even if they can't shoot arrows, they will be majestic and majestic. For the invasion of the nomads united, the Chu State was surprisingly unanimous - it must be fought back.
Emperor Jiayuan thought more, and he called several of his sons and asked for their opinions.
The second prince was accustomed to pressing on the crown prince, and when he saw that the prince was talking again, he hurriedly preemptively said: "Father, the retainers think that they should fight back! They are afraid that they have forgotten the grand occasion of their father's imperial expedition fifteen years ago! In those years, they were beaten and obedient, and they paid tribute every year! In the past two years, they have become more and more rampant, and the tribute is just some tattered things. ”
Emperor Jiayuan listened to the second prince's words becoming more and more vulgar, and couldn't help glaring at him, the second prince knew that he was speechless, and he pursed his mouth and stopped talking.
The prince sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he agreed: "What the second brother said is right, the nomadic clan has a lot of hearts in the past two years. Emperor Jiayuan waited for the prince to continue, but who expected that the prince would have no follow-up after speaking, and Emperor Jiayuan was a little disappointed in his heart.
The fourth prince, Hua Yuqi, looked at the two elder brothers, and did not speak, his biological mother was just a deceased nobleman, and how long would it be before he was out of filial piety, he would be sent to the domain by the king of the county. The fifth prince, Hua Yuzhao, coughed his throat, he had always been in poor health, and he didn't have the heart to answer his father's words.
The sixth prince received the decree before and took the seventh prince to the south to thoroughly investigate the corrupt officials. The eighth prince, Hua Yuheng, is a person who is bent on getting into the eyes of money, and at this time he just smiled and said: "The son has no other skills, but he can take the lead in donating some money and property to support the expedition." Emperor Jiayuan sighed in his heart, this son who looked most like the first emperor was a person who only loved to make money.
The Nine Emperor Princes, Hua Yuxuan, smiled and said: "Erchen also supports the expedition, but this matter is really strange, there are a total of eight nomadic tribes, and there is a lot of friction between the various tribes, but I don't know why this time they will come together to attack Rin Yue City." Emperor Jiayuan nodded, Lao Jiu had always thought more comprehensively.
After listening to the words of several princes, Emperor Jiayuan asked, "Then who do you think is better to send to the expedition?"
The second prince and the crown prince immediately recommended their own people, after all, it is a good thing to be able to control the military power, and if you win the battle, you can still win the hearts of the people, why not do it. Emperor Jiayuan's face was uncertain, only the Nine Emperors said: "Erchen thinks that the general of the town army is the most suitable person to go on the expedition, first, the official position given to him by the father and the emperor Many generals are a little dissatisfied, just this time so that there will be no more complaints between the generals, and second, the general of the town army has been on the expedition for decades, and the only defeat is still plotted, and this expedition is bound to be a complete victory." ”
Emperor Jiayuan nodded, he still has some understanding of the competition between several sons in the court, Lao Jiu's subordinates are not every general, this time he can nominate a loyal Huang Party It can be seen that he is a person who will not lose a big deal because of a small one.
