He Dong sighed lightly, walked in front of Li Quzhi, who ranked second, and asked two questions first, seeing that Li Quzhi's nervous forehead was sweating, and then seven questions, until Li Quzhi overcame his psychological tension and answered him fluently.

Qin Minye, who ranked first, was expressionless, and he couldn't see the slightest nervousness, but he looked carefully and found that his fists were clenched.

He Dong was burly and tall, and standing in front of Qin Minye, he could be called petite.

"I heard that you went out to study for more than a year before taking the exam, what did you hear and see from the people?"

Qin Minye replied respectfully: "The students went to the north first, where they heard the people talking about when the war would be extinguished, and saw that the people were poor and hungry. Later, I went to the south, where I heard the people talking about when the imperial court would be able to reduce the tax, and saw the people working hard for three meals a day. ”

"Would you rather go to the North or the South to be an official?"

Qin Minye Lang said: "As long as it is the land of my dynasty, both students in the north and south are willing to be officials and work for the benefit of the people." ”

He Dong nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Suddenly, Qin Minye knelt down, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the student has something to ask you for." ”

Everyone was surprised by Qin Minye's move.

He Yiyang beckoned, asked the fat eunuch to push him next to Qin Minye, and looked up at He Dong, whose face changed slightly.

"What?"

Qin Minye said in a low voice: "The student's late grandfather was a scholar of the Kai Dynasty, and he was exposed by the officials of the same dynasty as betraying the Kai Dynasty, and he died on the pillar of this hall in order to prove his innocence. Students would like to ask you, does your grandfather have a relationship with you? ”

Everyone never imagined that Qin Minye would ask such a sensitive and taboo thing at such a critical moment, and they all worried about him.

He Dong was a little excited and said: "Back then, Scholar He and Mr. He had the same concept and vowed to drive the Xiongnu out of the Northland, and he was also a person I admired. Unfortunately, before Mr. He could persuade Scholar He to return to Shun I, he was framed and committed suicide with resentment. ”

Qin Minye kowtowed heavily and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving the student's name to the outsider." ”

He Dong personally stepped forward to help Qin Minye with both hands, and said, "Scholar He will be very pleased to have such an outstanding grandson as you. ”

Qin Minye said very movingly: "The student's grandfather was born at the wrong time, and he was not honored to meet such a bright gentleman as His Majesty. ”

He Dong looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, turned around and loudly announced the top three of this year's first-class ranks, "Champion Qin Minye, Li Quai, Shangliang, Liang Xusheng, Tanhua ......"

The great victory in the north, under the ecstasy of He Dong, piloted two champions, two list eyes, and two tanhua in the third scientific examination hall of the Ding Dynasty.

The six people of the newly released new champion, Bangyan, and Tanhualang were very excited, and they were taken by the palace people to the side hall to change into a special red court robe, and the official hat was inserted with red flowers, dressed like the groom official.

The six of them left the Xuanzheng Palace, rode on a handsome white horse, and were escorted out of the palace by the Imperial Forest Army, visiting the four main streets of Chang'an.

When the people of the Li family, the Qin family, the Shang family, and the Liang family heard the good news, they happily ran to the street to take a look.

The most handsome of the six is not Li Quzhi, but the youngest Liang Xusheng. The limelight of the two actually overpowered the little black bear champion Qin Minye.

"Little uncle, congratulations on winning the exam!" Li Jingjing beckoned to Li Quai.

"Jing Niang, I am a fair name for the outsider, and Your Majesty still points me to be the champion!" The black-faced boy with an ordinary appearance riding a white horse only showed a calm and bright smile to Li Jingjing standing in the crowd.

Liang Xusheng immediately followed Qin Minye's gaze and found Li Jingjing in the crowd wearing a purple skirt and white skin, and shouted loudly in the voice of the duck who changed his voice: "Jing Niang, it's going to be cold, remember to wear the rabbit fur guard I made for you myself." ”

The cheers of the people drowned out the cries of the two teenagers, and Li Jingjing looked at their backs in the crowd and disappeared.

That night, He Dong feasted on the new science and technology jinshi, and hundreds of civil and military officials sat to accompany him.

Among the six people, Qin Minye, Shang Liang, and Liang Xusheng, who have not yet decided to marry, have become hot figures.

Qin Minye was slightly drunk, his mind was clear, and he said with a smile: "Xia Guan already has a crush on someone, just wait for her and Lu to propose." ”

Liang Xusheng's reason for refusing the officials' proposal is exactly the same as Qin Minye's.

Since there are well-informed officials who know the champion of the Tao and the top eyes of the people who like the same young lady, if it were replaced by a young lady from Beppu, they would have been teased on the spot, but this young lady is a princess, and there is a big man behind her, where do these officials dare to mention it in public.

A few officials who had a good relationship with the Shang family specially asked: "Shang Bangyan, what question did Your Majesty ask you in the palace today?" ”

Shang Liang replied with a smile: "Xia Guan heard it at the time and forgot it, if you want to know about the Dao, please ask Your Majesty." ”

Several officials pointed at Shang Liang and scolded with a smile: "Slippery head." ”

At the end of the banquet, the Jinshi of Jinke, who was drunk by the officials, was escorted back to his house by the Imperial Forest Army.

Li Qu was sick and returned to Qingwang's Mansion, and when he saw that the Li family and Ding's mother and son were waiting for him to come back without falling asleep, he was very happy and excitedly described to them the process of this palace test.

The twins sat on Lee's lap, holding his arm and looking at him with adoration in their eyes.

He Shi's face was full of excitement and said to everyone: "Your Majesty asked him to go to the sick and recite the sacrificial text, which is to build momentum for the disease." Sure enough, this one ordered the sick champion. It's just that I didn't expect Min Ye to ask such a taboo thing, and His Majesty still ordered him to be the champion. ”

Previously, He and He Huishu had never told Qin Minye to ask He Dong for the palace test, Qin Minye was filial to He Huishu, and in order to clear his grievances for the name of justice, he was not afraid of destroying his future and asked boldly.

Just because the people of the entire Ding Dynasty paid attention to the palace examination, it was not half a day before the news that the scholars of the Kai Dynasty He University had no dealings with He Dong spread in all directions.

The reputation of Scholar He is not stained, and it is a very good thing for the He sisters and He Jiye.

Li Quzhi said loudly: "Your Majesty's heart is as wide as the sea, which is the blessing of the courtiers and the people. ”

He asked: "I don't know what His Majesty said to Shang Liang, and it is difficult to recover Shang Liang's words?" ”

Li Quzhi said softly: "I was standing next to Shang Liang, and I vaguely heard the words Haiwangfu in His Majesty's words. ”

Everyone nodded knowingly.

He specially instructed: "It's about the royal family, don't spread it." ”

In the dead of night, from one of the bedrooms of the Sea King's Mansion came the sad cry of a girl and the consolation of a woman.

Under the candlelight, He Xiu's face was full of tears, Chu Chu was moving, his teeth were biting his lip and bleeding, "He became a paralyzed person last year, and it is normal for me to withdraw from marriage." If this matter is paralyzed on his sister, can his family let his sister marry? ”

She entered the palace yesterday to beg Murong Ying to rub her together and restore her relationship with Shang Liang.

Murong Ying told He Dong that he was trying to ask Shang Liang himself in person, but Shang Liang refused.

He Dong cherished talent, and still pointed to Shang Liang's list.

He Xiu waited for the results of the palace examination with several princesses and county lords in the palace, and was ridiculed by the women for losing a good husband.

Her temperament followed Li Juanye's arrogance, and she began to cry when she returned to the palace from the palace.

Li Juanye's eyes were gloomy, and she persuaded: "There are so many good sons, what do you have to marry him?" ”

He Xiuyang begged: "Mother, you go and beg grandma, let her go to Shangfu and say that I want to marry Shang Liang." ”

Last time, she took turns crying and begging with Li Juanye in front of the old princess Niu, who had to go to Shangfu to withdraw from her family.

This time, she thought that with the face of the old princess, she could still help her achieve her wish.

Li Juanye gained a notorious reputation for disobeying her mother-in-law for not helping the Li family before, and her intestines were repentant, but He Xiu didn't open which pot to mention, and said angrily: "You don't know the way, I can't enter the Xia Wang's Mansion now, and I can't see your grandmother." ”

He Xiu hugged Li Juanye's arm and cried: "Mother, you go and tell grandma that it is related to my family affairs, and it is also related to the reputation of our house." She'll see you for sure. ”

Li Juanye gave birth to a daughter and two sons. Both sons were taken to the Nandi border guard camp by He Jinghai when they were nine years old. In the past few years, only He Xiu has accompanied her.

The mother and daughter have similar temperaments and have nothing to say.

Li Juanye loves He Xiu more than her two sons.

Li Juanye said angrily: "Shang Liang has said in the palace test that it is difficult to collect the water. Since he said that, what are you still posting it for? The daughter's family, the reputation of the face is the most important. You're shameless and skinless! ”

He Xiu trembled with anger, let go of Li Juanye, threw herself on the bed and cried bitterly, saying, "If I don't marry him, I will have no reputation and no face." ”

Li Juanye's eyes rolled a few times, and said, "Shang Liang is just the eye of the list, and there is a champion on it." The great victory in the north, the ancestors and grandsons of the Qin State made great contributions, and the Qin family was full of glory. You are not better than marrying Qin Liang, the grandson of Qin Guogong, Qin Minye? ”

The Duke of Qin has always wanted to get close to the royal family, but it never got his wish.

Li Juanye thought that He Xiu's marriage was a low marriage, and the Qin State Mansion would worship He Xiu as an ancestor. This family business will also work.

He Xiu cried even more sadly and shook his head: "The reputation of the Qin State Mansion is discredited, how can there be a good reputation of the Shang Mansion." Qin Minye had a dark face and an ordinary appearance, and several cousins said that he was the ugliest champion in the Three Realms. ”

Li Juanye listened to her daughter's crying and was upset, so she said: "It's not one on the list, and Liang Xusheng." The family rules of the Liang family are that a man can only take a concubine if he has no children at thirty. Liang Xusheng is the eldest grandson, and in the future, he will be the son of the county prince and the county prince, ten times stronger than Shang Liang, who has no title to inherit! ”

He Xiu's crying was a little quieter.

Li Juanye knew He Xiu's intentions, coaxed her to sit up and said something, and said, "The first strike is stronger." After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mother summoned the Duchess of Liangjun to the mansion to talk about it. ”

The next day, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the court rested, and the civil and military officials did not need to go to the early court.

It's just that this 10,000 troops in the north are still in the court, and at the beginning of the year, He Dong led hundreds of civil and military officials and the families of more than a dozen prefectures to meet the army at the north main gate.

At three o'clock, Qin Xionghuang, Qin Pukang, Liang Jungong, and Li Yunqing wore armor and galloped from the official road in the north with a large army and a hundred Hun officers and prisoners of war.

The Li family stood in the crowd and saw Li Yunqing, who was more handsome and had a earth-shaking temperament after five years of absence.

Li Jingjing was extremely excited, beckoned and shouted, "Big brother! ”

Li Yunqing waited for the generals to dismount and kneel to bow to He Dong, so he walked quickly, with tears in his eyes, knelt down and kowtowed to Qu's, Li Laoshi, and He's.

"Grandma, my grandfather won't be back until later. He was very worried when he learned that you had been sick with him the other day, and asked me to bring you three letters from home. ”

Qu's illness had already been cured, and now when he saw his eldest grandson, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he said yes one by one.

He was very pleased.

When Li Bing took away Li Yunqing, who was only thirteen years old, the expression of the He family was as usual, and he cried several times behind his back.

Especially a few days ago, He Li slandered Li Yunqing for dereliction of duty, which led to the burning of the Qingcheng military grain and grass warehouse by the people.

Li Yunqing said excitedly: "Mother, grandpa found me three great Confucians in Qingcheng, and also found a top Taoist master to teach me internal kung fu." ”

He praised: "I remember everything you said in your letter. I am very happy that you can come back safely, not to mention that you have made great achievements and won glory for our Li family. You are a good man, and you are a good example for your three younger brothers. ”

He rarely praises people, Li Yunqing was as naughty as Li Yunxiao when he was a child, he was not active in reading, and he was rarely affirmed by He.

Later, Li Yunqing went to Taiqing Guan to be a miscellaneous boy and suffered a lot, and his temperament gradually became calm, his mind was cautious and he was steady, and he was praised more by He's family.

This time, He's unsparing praise made Li Yunqing very happy.

Li Jingjing looked Li Yunqing up and down, and said with a smile: "Big brother is much taller, and he is strong, but he is tanned." ”

"Sister Jing has changed so much, and she is so beautiful that she has come and gone, it's really wonderful." Li Yunqing raised his hand to touch his sister's hair as before, but thinking that his sister was eleven years old, he couldn't have intimate movements with her, let alone hugging her, even touching his hair.

He thought that she would get married in a few years, and his heart was sour.

He Jiye raised his little head and opened his little arms to Li Yunqing, and said with a smile: "Big brother! ”

Li Yunqing looked down and saw two cute little guys who looked very similar and wore red clothes, hugged them in surprise, and said, "Jiye and Fei are so big." When I left, my mother was not pregnant with you. ”

Li Yunfei pointed to the white horse not far away, and begged: "Big brother, you take me to ride a big horse into Chang'an City." ”

"Okay." Li Yunqing responded without hesitation, looked around, and asked, "What about Xiao Yanzi?" ”

Li Laoshi said with a smile: "Xiao Yanzi was beaten and injured when he got into trouble, and he was recuperating from his illness. You'll be able to see him later when you get back to King Qing's Mansion. ”

Li Jingjing hurriedly glanced at Li Laoshi, frowned, and said, "Xiao Yanzi's illness is very serious, and he has to be raised for a month." ”

Li Yunqing's face changed. Li Yunfei whispered a few words in his ear, and he was relieved.

A bold and rough man's laughter sounded, a middle-aged black-faced strong man with a mountain-like body, a pair of big bull's eyes, and a terrible scar on his right cheek that was one inch long, appeared in front of the Li family.

This man actually knelt down towards the Qu clan, clasped his fists and spoke with the accent of Hunan Dao, his voice was like a bell, and he said loudly: "Xionghuang has seen Mr. and Mrs." ”

The scars on his face were scary, but they didn't frighten the Li family.

Qu hurriedly helped Qin Xiong up and said, "Uncle Qin, this can't be helped. Hurry up. ”

"Sir is as kind to me as a mountain, you are his wife, and you can be worshiped by me." Qin Xionghuang stood up, and the Li family felt that the sun had dimmed a little.

"Dad, this is Xiao Jing Niang." Another mountain appeared in front of the Li family, and Qin Yuehan smiled and introduced the Li family to Qin Xionghuang, focusing on Li Jingjing.

"Jing Niang has seen the grandfather of the Qin family." Li Jingjing looked at the two black mountains and thought of the Ming family, who had died less than a year ago, and the three ancestors and grandsons were really the same black.

Qin Pukang stepped forward to salute the Li family. His complexion is neither black nor white, his appearance follows the Deng family, he is much more delicate than Qin Minye, he is very introverted and does not like to talk, and he seems calm and introverted, which is the same as Qin Minye.

Qin Wanjing, who was wearing a pomegranate red dress, was specially called over by Qin Pukang, "Brother Qing, this is the Jing Niang I often mention to you." ”

Li Jingjing said with a smile: "Sister Jing is filial piety and kindness, both civil and military, and she is very good. ”

Qin Wanjing was so ashamed that she just glanced at Li Yunqing and lowered her head.

Qin Minye said to Li Yunqing, who had looked at Qin Wanjing a few more times: "Yunqing, in a few days, our two families will go hunting in Lishan, and let you see my sister's archery skills!" ”

"Liang Dingshan has seen Mr. and Mrs." Liang Jungong walked quickly with Liang Xuyu, and also knelt down with Qu and bowed.

Liang Xuyu squeezed over, his handsome face and eyes shining, and he said in a loud voice: "Xiaojing Niang, my grandfather will come back first." My dad is still in the Northland with your grandfather. ”

Li Yunqing whispered in Li Jingjing's ear: "Sister, grandpa asked me to take the first step to bring back more than 500 seriously injured soldiers from Qingcheng. This morning I have placed them in Baiyun Temple. Tai Hospital sent five great physicians to join forces with Taoist great physicians and pharmacists to treat them. You don't have to worry about it this time. ”

Li Jingjing nodded.

After she arrived in Chang'an, she acted in a low-key manner according to Li Bing's instructions, unlike in Tanzhou, where she often showed up to treat patients.

He Dong ordered the army to enter the city, and everyone hurriedly said a few words to their families, so they rode horses and led the army into Chang'an City.

Li Yunqing and his twin sons shared a ride. Qin Pukang took Qin Libang and Qin Jiahao. Qin Xionghuang took Qin Zifeng, who was only more than three years old.

The hundred Xiongnu prisoner of war officers were all tall and burly, and they were stronger than those in the north.

They were naked and exposed their muscles, wearing khaki Hun trousers underneath, and each of them was chained with iron chains and rode in an iron prisoner cart.

Most of the POWs had a murderous look in their eyes. The highest-ranking prisoner of war was the general of the Xiongnu Dynasty.

This time it was a small-scale sacrifice of prisoners arranged by Li Bing, just to calm the hearts of the people and let the people have a solid Mid-Autumn Festival, which caused a huge sensation in Chang'an City.

Almost the entire people of Chang'an City went out to see the Hun prisoners of war, and the streets and alleys were full of people, much more than the top three people who looked at the first class last year.

Those people who had fled from the north for decades and whose relatives had been killed by the Hun soldiers were extremely excited, shouting and cursing the Huns, and throwing stones and rotten eggs at the prisoners of war.

The undecided little ladies in Chang'an City threw the sachets embroidered with their names to the triumphant soldiers.

The twin sons sat in front of Li Yunqing, their little heads were hit by hundreds of sachets, enjoying being admired and admired by tens of thousands of people.

Surprisingly, all the Xiongnu prisoners of war were directly escorted to the noon gate outside the palace, and ten people were beheaded in a row at noon.

More than a hundred huge heads were piled up into a small mountain.

He Dong paid tribute to the souls of the Huns who had died under the swords of the Huns for hundreds of years in front of the noon gate, and personally announced the holy decree to reward the army of the Northland.
