Seeing that the day of autumn is approaching, many students have the intention of reopening the imperial examination, anyway, the war has been completed and returned with a great victory, there is nothing else to delay, the autumn is imperative, and more and more people will inevitably cause chaos.

Most of the courtiers' heirs are dying here, and they are pleading with each other to ask the emperor to reopen the autumn festival, and many people can catch up with the study to thank the wing king, if the war is not so quickly ended, the autumn will not be delayed until the year of the monkey.

Mu Jinming thought about it again and again and did not make a decision on the spot, only said that he would wait for the Wing King to return to the dynasty and then discuss it, and secretly calculated that he should be able to rush back in time.

As soon as the courtiers heard that they had to wait for the Wing King to frown and admonish, the Wing King did not know when he would be able to return to the court when he dealt with the fiefdom, if he missed this autumn festival, he would have to wait until next year, but he didn't know what the situation would be next year, and if he encountered a major event, he would have to postpone it again, day after day, year after year.

Mu Jinming pondered for a long time and told the courtiers to be patient, and the Wing King expected to return in June, and he would definitely be able to rush back before the autumn.

The courtiers reluctantly agreed, as long as they could come back in time before the autumn festival, there was nothing to say, and the matter was put aside for the time being, and they couldn't help but think about what to do after the Wing King returned to the court.

Ouyang Ye once again became the focus of the attention of hundreds of officials in the court, silently weighing the method of befriending the Wing King in his heart, and I don't know if it is feasible to start with Ouyang Ye first?

A few officials who fancy King Yi as his daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law secretly asked Ouyang Ye that King Yi is sixteen this year, and he should have been married a long time ago. It's hard to get married when you're old.

The corners of Ouyang Ye's mouth twitched when he heard this, and his eyelids jumped, so he was worried about the marriage of the Wing King, and when he remembered when he could change his personality of eating or not.

When the emperor was alive before the marriage of the wing king, he explicitly forbade the blind participation of officials in the court and China. The marriage of the Wing King is decided by the first emperor, and the new emperor will preside over this matter, and it is useless to ask him about his nominal father, Ouyang Ye pushed the matter to the emperor and started to be the shopkeeper.

Ouyang Ye sighed to himself, he was the most aggrieved father in history, and the Wing King couldn't control his head when he was young. Now that he has great power, he has no power to put his beak in charge, and he has mentioned the name of his father in vain, and he has to clean up the mess for the Wing King from time to time. The bitterness in my heart, no one can dismantle it, but fortunately, if I go out of the house, the house can be quieter. Otherwise, it will be as restless as before. It is estimated that he will have to live more than ten years less, and as he gets older, he can't hear a little noise.

The official with a small calculation smiled when he heard Ouyang Ye's words, and remembered that the former emperor had been angry about the marriage of the Wing King when he was alive, and whether the emperor was still in charge of the decision had to be further investigated.

There are still many officials who do not give up and decide to take a peaceful opportunity to test the emperor's tone, and the emperor is really in charge of the decision, so he rests his thoughts that he shouldn't have. On the contrary, he must fight for the heirs of the family, so that he does not worry that the Wing King will be deprived of his official position after marrying a wife. With the merits made by the Winged King and the emperor's love for the Winged King, there is absolutely no matter, even if he removes his official position, the identity of the symbol prince will not be damaged, this is not the Winged King has just obtained a fief, it is a good place for the rich and oily, and the silver is not worried and enjoys privileges, where to find such a good candidate.

Xi Chao, who was praised by many people as a fragrant dumpling, sneezed several times in a row, which frightened Hongrui and Xu Mian, who were accompanying him all the way.

Xi Dynasty and his party returned to Beijing with 2,000 guards, the avenue leading to the border pass of Muguo in the Acropolis has been completed, the wide stone road is not a luxury, only the larger city has the ability to pave the bluestone road, this place that can be called an official road does not hesitate to spend so much manpower and material resources. Even Xu Mian couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it, secretly thinking that the Wing King was a real loser, and no one had done this no matter how much money he had in his pocket.

The road has been repaired, and it is useless for Xu Mian to think about it as an afterthought, and if he has it, he will not take out a large amount of money by himself, and he will do it blindly, as long as the Wing King can cope with it.

The sound of horses' hooves vibrates the crunch of the old-fashioned road, and the horse-drawn carriage is no longer bumped from side to side by uneven road surfaces, and the speed of travel is also an obvious advantage.

The remaining 30,000 people who ran to death of 50,000 guards is also a large number, but fortunately, everyone has not made trouble, and the Xi Dynasty is very satisfied, and tells all the guards that this road has been repaired and meets the requirements.

In addition to the current west of the four border passes, the remaining three places also have to build roads, interested people can report, do not want to go back to the current Acropolis of the country, find family members to go back to farming, if you want to go back to take a compromise method, first go back to build the road, there are many people, and there is experience to repair again practice makes perfect It will not take long, after the three border passes are repaired, they will return to the Acropolis together, each go home, of course, the road repair is considered to be semi-compulsive, and will not let everyone work in vain, there is a salary to take and eat and live, the prerequisite is to keep to yourself, Don't do things that give others the opportunity to doubt, and then seize and deal with them according to military regulations, everyone understands people, and the pros and cons must be clearly distinguished.

Only some people in the guards are worried that the commander of the Mu army will kill people after they are used up, just like building an imperial mausoleum for the emperor, and the day it will be built will be the time when they are buried in the bones, and no one wants to be wiped out in the prime of life.

For the worries of the guards, the Xi Dynasty gave a guarantee, the people of the Weidi have not lost a single hair, the Weidi is their own fiefdom, the people of the Weiguo are already the people of the Mu country, the Weijun is also born from the people who regard everyone as their own people, and there will never be any evil thing of killing the people, or where to waste the power of the lips and tongue to choose the Weijun, wouldn't it be better for God not to laugh and dispose of the Weijun unconsciously.

Wei Jun listened to it and thought to himself, this is not unreasonable, in the past six months or so, in addition to working and building roads, Mu Jun who stayed behind has never bullied them, no insults or beatings, they are like ordinary craftsmen, working, eating and sleeping, Mu Jun not only plays a monitoring role, but also personally starts to do it, takes them to work together, eats in one place, and there is never a small stove or anything like that.

At first, the guards remained with trepidation and cautious work, but as time went on they found that there was no difference except for the title of nominal prisoner of war. The hanging heart has settled, and some bold ones have been in contact with Mu Jun. It was not so difficult to approach, and the food was fuller than during the war, which was the most satisfying for everyone. Three meals a day, three or five days can see the meat, all meals are done, full of food and strength to work, compared to the soldier will have two meals a day, sometimes can not grab the food can only be hungry, no day of food is enough, only this is enough to make many guards willing to stay. It's not that I don't want to be at home, there are still wives and children at home who can't get enough to eat, but the family is in the midst of war. What's the use of going back?

After hearing the news of the Mu army's victory, many people in the guard army wept, one was that the war had finally stopped and there was hope of going back. The second is to worry about the family after the war. Whether he was still alive or not, no one dared to ask lightly, until he learned about the situation from Mu Jun's mouth, and he was greatly relieved.

No matter whose territory Wei Di becomes, as long as the family is still there, Wei Jun will not care too much, and the heart of reuniting with relatives will be higher day by day, until the commander of Mu Jun stands in front of everyone. Make such a request.

In the past, there was no silver to take to build roads, and it was already the blessing of the Bodhisattva to give a full meal. Mu Jun is benevolent, Wei Jun has no human rights as a prisoner of war, how can he ask for too much, this time is different, it sounds like he is exempted from his identity as a prisoner of war and lives as a defender of the people, it's not that he hasn't thought about such a beautiful thing, most of them are only in dreams, I don't want to be realized today, no matter which country I live in, as long as I live there is hope that I will get better, I was speechless for a while, and I couldn't help but tear my eyes, how could I have the fate of the prisoners of war in ancient times was bleak, I have never imagined that one day I will be able to get rid of the lowly status of slaves in a dignified manner, but this has won the hearts of everyone, and it is enough to follow Mu Guo's unexpected gains.

The guards have received too much forgiveness, they dare not think about it, even if they miss their hometown and family, they still have to do the matter of building roads, and they can't be too greedy, which is enough.

Xi Chao spent some time explaining to the guards the general situation of the current Acropolis, and proposed that the homesick guards could write letters to their relatives at home, and someone would write for them if they couldn't write, and as long as the address was correct, they would be sent back to their respective homes to report their safety, so that the relatives who were thousands of miles apart from each other could feel at ease.

The guards cheered for this, and expressed that they were willing to obey orders, not just to build a road, and it would be much faster to do the same thing again after having an experience, so it would be better to walk around, eat and shelter, and get a good salary, and when they returned home, they could use the wages they earned to buy food for their families, which was better than returning empty-handed.

As soon as it was decided, the Xi Dynasty threw the matter to the green yin and green qin who were at the border pass, and his party went to the border pass where Changping was located first, and told the road about repairing the road, half of the force is necessary, and the road is not repaired in vain, and it is not possible to repair it if you want to, just the road to and from the border pass is not easy to walk and delay a lot of time.

Chang Pingfei was a stubborn donkey who opposed the construction of the road, and he really couldn't take out so much silver in his hand, so he truthfully informed the Wing King of the situation.

Xi Dynasty pointed out the bright road, the merchants in the city raised money, and repaired the roads in the city, promising that the merchants would not be here in the future, but to build a prosperous bazaar, where the trade would gather, and at this time take out a small part of the profits to help build the road, and they would be able to earn it back in the future.

After pointing to Changping, Xichao and his party decided to go north after resting for two days, and went around Beiguan, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the itinerary slowed down slightly.

When I returned to Shangjing, it was already the middle of July, and seeing that the day of autumn was approaching, it was not a few days, and the Wing King had not returned for a long time, and many courtiers were in a hurry, and they couldn't wait any longer.

This year's Autumn Festival first solves the number of people who were postponed last time, and next year will be held at the same time, it is still the previous year's lifting to participate, and the third year will be held normally, breaking the convention of a three-year imperial examination, and the extraordinary means can solve the problem of the lengthy number of participants, and can avoid the lack of selection of the top three rankings due to the heavy number of participants, and there is more room for selection to select talents to fill official positions.

Mu Jinming felt that this method was feasible, and took it to the court to discuss with the courtiers, and the courtiers felt that it was feasible without many twists and turns, so they immediately posted the list and gave a reasonable time limit, so that people who were far away from home would not miss the big exam.

The examiner's appointment was put on the agenda, and the courtiers began a new round of competition for me, although it was held for three years in succession, but it couldn't stand the monks more porridge and less, who knows what the situation will be next year, and it is a time to grab it.

Mu Jin was in a good mood and allowed the officials below to quarrel into a vegetable market, all of them were blushing and thick-necked, like fighting cocks.

The reason for the good mood is that the Xi Dynasty will return to the palace tonight. When the news reached his hands, not to mention how happy he was, after more than a year of separation, his thoughts turned into a lake rippling out a circle of ripples.

The courtiers quarreled for a long time, and the emperor did not speak. Suddenly I felt bad and looked up carefully, but I didn't find that the emperor was displeased, and my heart was soothed a little, and I secretly wondered that the emperor was in a very happy mood today, what good things are going to happen?

Mu Jin saw that the courtiers consciously stopped talking, and threw out a sentence to wait for the Yiwang to return to the dynasty to draft the position of chief examiner, and raised his hand to signal that the courtiers would not have extra time to react.

When the courtiers looked back at it. The emperor is gone, sighing that this is really no problem, why do you have to wait for the Wing King to come back. Seeing that a few days later, the emperor was not in a hurry at all, which was really strange.

There are also officials who find something else from the emperor's ambiguous words and discuss it with their good colleagues. Could it be that the position of chief examiner will be held by the Wing King. I don't know why it's always the Wing King who responds to the renegotiation and sends the courtiers away?

Some officials feel that this is a possibility, and the other is elected by the Wing King, anyway, this matter is inseparable from the Wing King, the emperor is determined to wait for the Wing King to return to Beijing, and the courtiers say that it will not work, yes, wait.

I forgot to ask the emperor when the Yiwang will return to Beijing, what should I do if I really miss the auspicious day? This is a good opportunity to select talents for the country. Is it really worth procrastinating for a winged king?

Some officials boldly assumed that the day of King Yi's return to Beijing was these two days, and he did not see the emperor and was not anxious at all.

It is also possible that the emperor has another way. Just like the reopening of the imperial examination, he didn't say that he would wait for the Wing King to come back, but the Wing King failed to rush back in mid-July, and the emperor made a decision directly.

The officials heard that it made sense, the emperor is now more and more able to deal with things, and the opinions put forward are within the acceptable range of everyone, which is undoubtedly a good phenomenon, and some officials do not think so, with the officials of the eldest prince's faction first, and strongly support the eldest prince as the main examiner, how can such an opportunity to show his face not be contested.

Xi Dynasty and his entourage entered the palace at night, and the guards directly arranged to return to the Yiwang Mansion, Xu Mian opened his mouth to say that he was stopped by Hongrui with a word, Xu Mian's father, Imperial Physician Xu, was in the palace, and directly followed the master into the palace, Xu Mian thought about it and nodded yes.

The forbidden army led by Ah Jiu will only enter Beijing tomorrow morning and be stationed not far from Beijing, that is, the squad will return to the vigorous and energetic position, and they will have to return victoriously.

Mu Jinming was anxiously waiting for the return of the Xi Dynasty, and Imperial Physician Xu was waiting in the Longhua Hall one step earlier, and immediately rushed over after learning that the Xi Dynasty was injured, and his heart was like fifteen buckets of water that had no landing point, he was really afraid that the Xi Dynasty would not come back if he went here, and those days were really difficult as being roasted on the fire.

Fortunately, it's just an arrow injury, God bless, Mu Jinming doesn't believe in Buddhism, he only has this sentence in his heart, his only relative, he looks at the tide of danger weakly, and he has the heart to die if he has an accident.

The three of them walked through the dark road, avoiding people's eyes and ears and quickly reaching the Longhua Palace, Xu Mian followed into it for the first time, and he was mostly curious in his heart, and his heart was overwhelmed when he saw his father.

The sound of the secret door turning, a real smile appeared on Mu Jinming's face, welcoming the return of the Xi Dynasty, at the moment when the Xi Dynasty stepped out of the secret door, he stepped forward and opened his arms to take the person into his arms, and many thoughts turned into a torrent, but he choked in his throat and choked speechlessly.

"Brother Huang." The tide is softly called, and the slow flow between long-lost relatives.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Mu Jinming suppressed her heart, and then the little sister looked up and down several times, her eyes were mostly pity for Xi Chao's weight loss, she didn't forget to get down to business, and pulled someone to sit down and ordered Imperial Doctor Xu to diagnose the pulse first, the outside conditions are bad, it is difficult to ensure negligence, I don't care about minor illnesses and pains, even if it has a role to follow by my side, I still don't feel at ease.

When Imperial Physician Xu saw his son who had returned safely, he stroked his beard with satisfaction, stepped forward to check the pulse of King Yi, and came to a conclusion for a while.

"The body is weak, and the arrow wound is the cause, because the sharp weapon into the bone has a little impact on the bones and shoulders." Doctor Xu checked the pulse and looked at the injury, made a preliminary conclusion, and took the prescription that the doctor had prescribed from his son, there was nothing unusual, only let the winged king be good and raised, for a year and a half, without making the force recover, the young man's bones can still grow, and there is no big problem in raising it.

Imperial Physician Xu prescribed a prescription on the spot, got the emperor's consent, and pulled his son to retire, today is his own duty, he can't leave the palace, the side hall has prepared bathing water, urging his son to clean up, there is time to say more.

Xi Chao cleaned up over there, Mu Jinming asked Xi Chao to sleep together, like when he was a child, he could be completely at ease when he was close to his relatives.

The Xi Dynasty did not refuse, and declared in advance that he would get up early tomorrow morning to join the forbidden army outside, and the official squad returned to the court.

Mu Jin also knew the importance of this matter, and explained that he would prepare for the official uniform, and he would also go tomorrow to welcome the return of the victorious division.

Xi Chao thought about it for a while, and planned to call Xu Mian and go to show his face together, although he was a doctor in his identity and had contributed a lot to the war, he should also call the people in Beijing to see, and those who have meritorious achievements do not need to hide their glory.

Mu Jinming nodded and ordered to go down, and urged Xi Chao to drink medicine late at night, and didn't say anything else and didn't disturb Xi Chao to rest.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Mian rested in the side hall, was driven by the Wing King to put the ducks on the shelf, pulled out the quilt and put it on, his eyes were not completely opened, he was too tired and sleepy, and he returned to the safety of all the guards and let go of the tiredness naturally.

Xi Chao was not willing to wear heavy armor to death, only wore the brocade clothes of the prince's standard, and the beloved horses who accompanied the way were full of food and drink, their eyes were big and bright, and they looked full of spirit.

In the early morning of this day, there was a little bit of the same, I don't know where it came from, the winged king led the troops back, the people all listened attentively, further confirmed the authenticity of the incident, and after asking the truth, they hurriedly packed up and put away themselves to call friends and friends, and called the neighbors to see together, the return of the army was unprecedented, how could you miss it.

The courtiers were surprised to learn that the Wing King had returned to Beijing today, and at the same time they were even more shocked that the emperor personally led a hundred officials to greet him, what a great honor this must be, no one dared to stand up against it, unless his brain twitched and he didn't wake up at night, which disturbed the emperor's good interest, and he was bound to be unlucky.

It's not that the emperor has cooperated with hundreds of officials to greet the generals who returned victoriously, but the spring came too suddenly, and the courtiers didn't react for a while, and the return of King Yiwang to Beijing was a big event, and he was not alone, with the forbidden army around him, why was there no news at all?

Is it because he has been too concerned about the affairs of Qiu Yu in the past few days and has neglected the return of the Wing King to Beijing, or has the Wing King deliberately covered up his whereabouts so that no one notices? The official was suspicious for a while, so he didn't think about it, and it wasn't a big deal, and it was ridiculous to get to the bottom of it, so he left it behind.

The army returned to the empty alley, the people were eager to see the style of the winged king and the army, the victorious division, the people were all excited and rejoicing, with a bright smile on their faces and stood on both sides of the street in an orderly manner, whispering and discussing, until they saw that there were officers and soldiers who opened the way to know that the emperor was also coming, which made the people even more happy, what a great glory it was to see the face of heaven on the same day, the emperor personally welcomed the grand occasion in history, it was difficult to hide the excitement in the eyes of his heart, the discussion gradually decreased until it was calm, the people held their breath and looked straight ahead, A solemn atmosphere is generated.
