"Huh."

The representative sent by the martial arts family was Wu Deng's nephew Wu Fan, who was about the same age as Tuoba Yi, and he chuckled when he heard this, "Brother Tuoba Brother, we don't dare to say this. I also understand that those of us who have come today are just messengers. Whether the Helian family, or even the one in the court, will harm us, it is useless for us to say it. If you have something to say, it's better to be outspoken, just say it bluntly, how Uncle Tuoba explained it. ”

Tuoba Yi nodded noncommittally, "Okay, then brother, I'll just say it." ”

He stood up from the excellent Nanmu chair and said, "Although our major families in Western Xia have always fought openly and secretly, all brothers have understood that since the emperor ascended the throne, this is all for the emperor to see. Our big families are really cold. It turned out that the six military divisions of Xiping, Heishui Town, Black Mountain Weifu, Baimaqiang Town, Gansu and Xiangqing, and now the Helian family of the Gansu Military Division and the Zhongsun family of the Xiangqing Military Division are all iron-hearted to be enemies with us, and there are only four of us left. If our Tuoba family is really called by the emperor as an outcast this time, there will only be three families left in the future, and I am afraid that we will not be able to escape the fate of being eaten away step by step. ”

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, "So, what my father means is that instead of sitting still, it is better to take this opportunity to completely reverse." The army of Zhulu gathered outside the Zhongxing Mansion, and simply broke the Zhongxing Mansion directly, so as not to prevent the empress from continuing to kill Si Chen. Although we are all in Zhongxing Mansion, and when the army defects, we will inevitably be held hostage by the empress, but there is a large army pressed outside the city, and the empress may not dare to do anything to us. The worst is that I can deal with her more, and we can all end up free. ”

"......"

She Tuoke, the youngest son of She Tuoli, the head of the She Tuo family, frowned slightly when he heard this, "With the means of the empress, will you really choose to compromise and seek perfection?" ”

Tuoba Yi laughed when he heard this, "I am just conveying my father's words, as for how to choose, it depends on how the masters and uncles of the families choose." What the empress will do, I can't imagine it, and I don't dare to make any guarantee to you on behalf of my father. The only thing I can say is that there is no way back for us now. If we continue to endure it, the empress will not let us leave Zhongxing Mansion. ”

"Okay, if you should bring it, I have already brought it, and I will go back and tell your uncles the truth."

After that, Tuoba Yi looked out of the house and clapped his hands vigorously, "Mother Hong, call all the beauties in my brother's photos!" ”

When the old bustard, who was worried outside the house, heard this, he had no choice but to say that a blessing had fallen from heaven, and he hurriedly agreed, "Okay, I'll go and invite them for your sons!" ”

Then he hurried away.

She was still wondering why Tuoba Yi and the others had such an attitude today. Now it seems that she should not be angry with her.

That's it.

As for who Tuoba Yi is angry with, her red mother doesn't want to care, and she can't care about it.

In just a short time, many more Huanfei Yan Thin came to the private room of Tuoba Yi, Wu Fan and others.

The room soon resounded with hearty laughter and deliberately soft squeezing.

These people are all descendants of various families who are not valued or even treated well, but in fact, they are by no means the kind of headless characters.

Ordinary times are often lingering in the willows, which is not a kind of Taoguang and self-preservation.

The water of the big family is too deep.

The position of head of the family is not something anyone can take. A little bit of thought may lead to disaster from the sky, which is far less than being so chic with the family's money.

At least, the eldest brothers in the family who are expected to ascend to the position of head of the family will not have any hostility towards them, but will take care of them a lot.

Of course, this is off topic.

The children of the gentlemen looked for flowers and asked willows in the Baihua Building until the night was very dark, and then they had their own fun and returned home.

When I first arrived home, the first thing I did was to face the head of my family.

Outside, they can all show off their might. In front of the head of the family, everyone is as honest as a quail, and no one is surprised.

This night, She Tuoli, Wu Deng and other family heads are afraid that they are all tossing and turning, and it is difficult to sleep.

Rao is that they know that Tuoba Xiong invited those backs of the family to Baihualou to gather in the name of Tuoba Yi, and it must be for the incident that happened on the top of the main hall today. But whether they completely tore their faces with the empress because of this incident and fought against the empress, it was really difficult for them to make up their minds in their hearts.

This is no small feat.

If it succeeds, the great families can still continue to take root in Western Xia.

And if it fails, then the big families are afraid that they will have to disappear from the Western Xia.

It's a matter of gambling with all their lives.

Only Tuoba Xiong's words, which Tuoba Yi conveyed, really spoke to their hearts.

None of them are simple characters, and in the past two years or so, the empress has wanted to seize the real power of their major families, and they all know it.

Even if you don't break the net with the empress now, there will always be a time when the empress will be cornered in the future.

So, it's a really hard thing to decide.

But at the end of the day, everything will come to a conclusion.

Changsha City.

Another year of imperial examinations.

Although the recent incident of the Lin'an military parade has caused the entire Great Song Dynasty to be in an uproar, this has not had any impact on the imperial examination.

After the New Year, students from all over the world rushed to Changsha City one after another.

Inside and outside Changsha City, such as Yuelu Academy, all large and small academies are crowded, rubbing shoulders.

The innkeepers in the city were also smiling from ear to ear.

This is the time of year when their business is at its most prosperous. Moreover, although some of these scholars are from poor families, there is also no shortage of people who are generous.

Even with it, the matchmakers in the city are all warm.

There are many rich families who lack scholars, and they like to find those who are talented and talented as sons-in-law, so as to fill the façade, and if they come to high school, they can also ascend to heaven.

Only in the past two years, the emperor has personally presided over the major events of the imperial examination, but this year is different.

The emperor went to Lin'an, and the affairs of the imperial examination were fully responsible for the deputy state order Chen Wenlong.

This inevitably makes some people think about it.

After all, the emperor is the king, and Chen Wenlong is the minister. It is impossible to bribe the emperor, but it is not impossible to bribe Chen Wenlong.

So these days, almost the threshold of Chen Wenlong's family has been trampled.

Only these people came and went, and all of them left the Chen family's mansion in anger or full of shame.

Chen Wenlong is a veteran of the Great Song Dynasty, and what is more respectable is his clean sleeves. He does not fight for power or seize power in the DPRK and China, and he is not the kind of person who sees money with an eye for money.

Even if the people who came to his house even had his relatives, they didn't receive his good face. Even, some students were directly banned from the examination by him because of this.

After these things got out, I don't know how many people sighed.

The Chen family's visitors have finally gradually decreased.

The imperial examination was still held as scheduled.

It was still a light day, and there were many people from all over the world gathered outside Yuelu Academy.

Most of them have a look of eagerness and nervousness on their faces.

By now, the most prominent of the imperial examination scholars has become a feudal official like Zhong Jian. This is enough to explain the emperor's attitude.

The imperial examination is really a smooth road for these students.

Whether you can go to high school is equivalent to a carp jumping over the dragon gate. As long as they get past it, they will face a completely different life.

When Chen Wenlong led many officials to invigilate the exam, the crowd became lively at a very fast speed, and all the students hurriedly bowed to them.

Chen Wenlong led the students into Yuelu Academy.

After that, he spoke on behalf of Zhao Dongting.

The meaning of the words is just to let the students take the exam with peace of mind, and they don't have to think about it. None of this is omitted.

As the bell rang, students from all over the world walked to the classrooms according to their exam numbers.

Among them, the older ones have drooping and decaying beards with slightly white hair.

The young ones are even still full of childishness. It looks like I'm afraid I'm just a teenager.

Such a student can naturally be regarded as a genius.

Even Chen Wenlong and others couldn't help but pay a lot of attention to this youngest person. After all, before, there had never been such a young person in the Great Song Dynasty.

It's a pity that Zhao Dongting is not here this year. Otherwise, he would have recognized this student.
