The gears of time began to turn slowly, turning history without waiting for anyone.

In the past two years, Li Shimin fought in the south and the north, made countless contributions, fought bloodily, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty increased little by little, and in the end, the only one who could compete with the Tang was Wang Shichong of Luoyang.

In the past two years, Li Shimin worked from 9 to 5, and the eldest grandson Ning Xi saw Ben Shao, and when he went home, he insisted on sleeping in the room of two people in the study, and it was always the eldest grandson Ning Xi who slept alone. However, she never complained, and tried her best to do everything for King Qin.

In the past two years, Li Shimin has done his best for the Tang Dynasty, but the government and the opposition have gradually raised their voices, saying that Li Shimin has relied on his military exploits and has a different heart. And Li Jiancheng relied on Yang Xuan'er's status as the eldest princess to recover many old departments of the Sui Dynasty, although Li Shimin made great contributions, but there were many people who supported Li Jiancheng, and the situation gradually became unfavorable to Li Shimin.

Li Yuan suddenly favored a woman, and for her, he even didn't want his original harem of three thousand beauties, it is said that this person was the favorite concubine of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Concubine Yin.

When Qin Shubao and others found Shan Xiongxin, he was already Princess Wang Shichong's concubine, Wang Shichong coerced and lured, and even had dirty methods such as house arrest, and kept Qin Shubao and others at all costs.

Shan Bing'er followed Luo Cheng, after the most comfortable two years, her heart gradually calmed down, and she began to accept Luo Cheng, and even soon spread the good news that Shan Bing'er was pregnant, Luo Cheng smiled all day long, and even named the child well.

The mask on Mu Qingyang's face was never taken off again, he followed Li Shimin to the world, regardless of any children's feelings, Sama Ge began to learn female red, cooking, and when he had time, he went to King Qin to accompany the eldest grandson Ning Xi, and the two soon became close friends who talked about everything.

In the past two years, Li Yuanji has been very fond of her, she doesn't like to go out, so he rebuilt the palace, rockeries and clear waters, goldfish and swans, everything, she doesn't like to make friends, he will accompany her as much as possible, push away everything, she doesn't like the banquet, he also finds an excuse not to go, for fear that she will feel uncomfortable......

He almost gave all his favor to Xuan'er, but Xuan'er still didn't have any reaction, Yang Xuan'er, who had been looking for death and life for others, seemed to be gone, leaving only an empty shell for himself, he slowly felt bored, but he also lost the passion to find flowers and ask willows, and he was either oxidizing and boiling tea or playing chess with swords all day long.

And Xuan'er is more often with Ruhua to discuss how to fight Li Shimin, they openly and secretly put cold arrows on Li Shimin, and once even deliberately delayed the rescue sent by Li Shimin to fight, Li Shimin finally came back with half a life scarred, but he still won the battle, if it weren't for those stubborn old ministers who were loyal to Emperor Sui, I am afraid that Li Shimin's limelight would have overwhelmed Li Jiancheng.

This year, Li Yuan listened to Li Shimin's suggestion on reopening the imperial examination system, and set up three civil and military officials, divided into champions, lists, and tanhua.

All of a sudden, no matter whether the generals or the generals, all flocked to the prosperous Chang'an City, Li Yuan used to be a civil official, that is, he attached great importance to the liberal arts, and especially handed it over to Li Jiancheng to manage this matter.

Originally, Li Yuan's attention to the military attache was handed over to Li Yuanji to do, but Li Yuanji shirked it at will. Li Yuan didn't worry about handing it over to outsiders, so he had to hand it over to Li Shimin.

But I know that before the exam, the door of King Qin is closed, and no matter how anyone knocks on the door, he will not open the door.

Those who wanted to go through the back door went home.

"Streamer!" After noon that day, Ah Xi rushed in, and there was a simple meal on the rough wooden table in the room, two bowls of rice, two pairs of chopsticks, and a few side dishes.

"How's it going?" Ruyue is already twenty years old this year, and it stands to reason that she is already an old girl, but she still stays by Axi's side all day long, sewing and mending, washing and cooking, and some people have joked about the two of them, Axi is red-faced, but Ruyue smiled faintly, and left the place where he washed clothes by the river with his favorite clothes, and he simply didn't mention it anymore, it was so stable, and it was a lifetime.

"The emperor list has been posted today!" Ash has always given Ruyue a feeling of stability and stability, but it is also the first time that she has been so excited.

"What the hell happened to you?" Ruyue pulled Ah Xi to sit down, poured a cup of osmanthus tea from the pot and gave it to Ah Xi, and handed the chopsticks to Ah Xi.

"That is, the imperial examination system will be re-held this fall." Ah Xi's voice still couldn't contain the excitement, "The champion of civil and martial arts, the top eye, and the flower!" I've made up my mind to get involved. ”

Ruyue stopped moving her chopsticks: "You want to go to Chang'an?" ”

Ah Xi didn't see how Ruyue's expression changed at all: "Even if you unveil the emperor list, you will sign up, so you just don't have any worries, you just tear off the emperor list on the spot." ”

Ruyue skillfully concealed the changes in her heart: "Are you going to take the civil or military attaché exam?" ”

"Civilian! My father is Italian. Ah Xi was still chattering, "This system was tried by the Sui Dynasty, but Yuwen dog thieves control the overall situation, and those who are official high schools are all internally determined children, and the Sui Dynasty forgets also, in my opinion, this is the opportunity to decide!" ”

Ruyue looked at him lightly and talked endlessly, and Ah Xi noticed Ruyue's face: "Do you think you don't want to go to Chang'an after a long journey?" Finally, he cautiously spoke, "Even if you stay here and wait for me, it's okay, I'll come back......"

"Nothing!" Ruyue interrupted Axi, "The future is full of unknown variables, it is promised, once separated, the opportunity for change is also very great, I still go with you." ”

"Really?" Ah Xi asked Ruyue uncertainly.

"Yes." Ruyue nodded, "It's the Pingshui meeting, you saved me without asking the way out, the streamer has long regarded you as a brother in his heart, even if there is no one at home, if I don't go with you, where else can I go?" ”

A childish smile bloomed at the corner of Ah Xi's mouth, he originally thought that he was just a life-saving benefactor to him, but he didn't want Ruyue to be willing to accompany him in weal and woe, and share prosperity, that is, in her heart, just having a place is satisfaction.

"You eat well." Ruyue picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes for Ah Xi, "After a while, I'll go pack my luggage." ”

"Streamer, you're so nice." Ashi opened her mouth with joy.

Ruyue got up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, but did not speak again.

Ruyue sat next to the sink, setting up a pile of dishes and chopsticks, she pressed out the cold water from the well, and a group of children flew by with a paper kite, giggling.

Are you going back to Chang'an?

In recent years, she has heard a lot of rumors, Li Jiancheng won the jade seal, but because of his conceit and propaganda everywhere, he almost brought disaster to the Tang Dynasty, but because of the arrival of Li Shimin, the fortune turned around, since then the Qin King Li Shimin has been out of control, and has recovered many lost lands, Li Shimin is the emperor's minister, many people have talked about it, at this time Li Yuanji married Yang Xuan'er, the princess of the Sui Dynasty, and some of the old ministers of the Sui Dynasty have taken refuge in the prince, and the two forces above the court are arguing......

All of this is like a myriad of mysteries, and I want to know the answers, but I am afraid that I will be caught in the greater maelstrom of conspiracy......

But if Ashi goes, is there any other way to follow him? I can only bite the bullet, I must not be afraid, Yang Ruyue is dead, and now it is replaced by the newborn Ruan Streamer......

Li Shimin in order to select military attachés, all day long, finally a little eyebrows, this day he discussed in the study, and finally got along with the countermeasures, the world's heroes gathered in Chang'an, set up a ring in the downtown block, divided into three rounds, the first round, by the examiner out a verse, and then the written test in front of the civil and military officials with martial arts comparison, the audience to do a row of civil officials, look at their style to guess, written on rice paper, guess the right, for the victory, Li Shimin is a man who is both civil and military, this round is intended to be such a talent.

In the second round, it is archery, through the first round, in the barracks, send a cavalry, back and forth horse racing, the horse race is the contestants who are ready to go, the other is the bull's-eye, and the accurate shooting wins.

In the third round, those who passed the first two rounds of the competition competed in the ring, and the last person was the champion of this year's martial arts.

Li Shimin looked at the list of heroes in the world, made a group, and ordered his subordinates to start planning this competition.

And Li Jiancheng's side, the gifts of gold and silver, and the treasures have long been piled up, and he even tailor-made a dragon robe full of gems for himself, hidden in his secret room, and put it on himself when he was free, and asked someone to draw a portrait of him like this and hang it in his secret room.

Xuan'er hasn't come out of his yard for a long time, although Li Yuanji is interested in her, the number of courtesies she should have is not less, and even any novel things will think of Xuan'er, he looks at Xuan'er sometimes runs around with his eldest brother, and he understands something in his heart, he has a deep feeling of being used by Li Jiancheng in his heart, he also tries to avoid Xuan'er, and does not allow her to meet officially, in addition to the banquet that should be there, he will bring Xuan'er who is dressed to attend, and the two of them pretend to be intimate and get off the carriage, Returning to their own rooms, returning to the appearance of strangers, Li Yuanji felt more and more that his palace was indifferent and ruthless, and he didn't like to go home more and more, sometimes he played chess in the chess club for a day, sometimes he trained soldiers in the barracks, and sometimes he had a hangover in the tavern. His eldest brother is busy with political affairs, and he is bent on defeating Li Shimin, no matter how late he goes home, his wife will not care, and his eldest brother will not know at all, he is like a person who is gradually transparent, in the face of everything, he gradually loses his enthusiasm, and he still can't meet the situation of a couple in his life after all......
