The day before the start of the imperial examination, the military academy also opened, and Li Jun did not make the momentum very grand like last time, but only brought the two bigwigs of the military, Gao Zhe and Dou Guan, to participate in a low-key manner.

At the opening ceremony of the military academy, Li Jun pointed to the world map and issued his own declaration: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." ”

Although Li Jun was very low-key in this matter, Li Jun still made Sima Da recorded in the history of the country, and Li Jun believed that the seeds planted today would definitely let him taste delicious fruits in the future......

That is, today, two young people in the capital have made completely different choices, one of them is Xiao Renjie, the most beloved grandson of the imperial prime minister, the elder brother of the queen, the future star of the empire, and the other is Wei Yan, the son of the Marquis of Weinan who was deposed by Li Jun.

In Xiao's Mansion, Xiao Renjie rarely didn't go out to fool around today, and obediently stayed in the study to sort out the books, Xiao Wangzhi came over quietly, and nodded with satisfaction looking at the spotless study cleaned by Xiao Renjie.

Xiao Renjie turned around and saw that it was Xiao Wangzhi, and immediately saluted: "My grandson has seen my grandfather." ”

Xiao Renjie picked up a copy of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" from the desk and said with a smile: "I remember that you once said that the book "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is a book read by a young official, and it doesn't matter if the eldest husband doesn't read it, now after reading it, do you still have this kind of thought?" ”

Xiao Renjie hurriedly said: "Grandfather, it was the grandson who was too arrogant before, and after reading it carefully during this time, I realized why my grandfather attached so much importance to this book. ”

"Haha, knowing that mistakes can be corrected, is very good." Xiao Wangzhi said with relief.

"The grandson is stupid, and he needs to be reminded by his grandfather in the future."

Xiao Wangzhi waved his hand and said: "Renjie, my grandfather is old, I can't remind you for a few years, Your Majesty is about the same age as you, the future Datang must be the world of your young people, but no matter where Datang will go in the future, there is a sentence that you must remember." ”

"Grandfather, please speak, grandson listens."

"Doing peace of mind and doing righteous things, this is my grandfather's experience summed up in politics for many years, as long as you remember this, no matter where you go in the future, you will be welcomed."

Xiao Renjie sighed and said: "Grandfather is good at work, and grandchildren remember, but grandchildren are not grandfathers after all, and grandchildren think they are young leaders, so they will not avoid the edge temporarily, even if they die, it doesn't matter, I'm afraid that it will affect the family." ”

Xiao Wangzhi shook his head and said: "Renjie, your grandfather understands that maybe it is the family that restricts you in the future, then grandfather will say one more thing to you today, if you feel that the family has become a burden to you in the future, you might as well give it up, how can there be a thousand-year-old family in this world, the future of the Xiao family is not in the hands of you and me, but in the hands of Your Majesty." ”

"Grandfather, I must not, my family gave birth to me and raised me, how could I do such a wolf-hearted thing?" Xiao Renjie immediately refused.

Xiao Wangzhi said with a smile: "Renjie, don't worry, this is just a precautionary measure, after you join the office, you only need to do one thing, that is, to protect your sister, as long as your sister is still there, the world will not be chaotic, and the Xiao family will not fall." ”

"Grandchildren remember, please rest assured grandfather." Xiao Renjie replied seriously.

Xiao Wangzhi patted Xiao Renjie on the shoulder and said, "Okay, study hard, this last day is the most important, grandfather won't bother you." ”

"Grandson sends grandfather ......"

At the same time, the same scene was also being staged in the Weinan Hou Manor on the outskirts of the capital, where Wei Yan, the original son of the Weinan Hou, was drinking with He Fang.

After the two of them had a drink, He Fang said: "Brother Wei, really don't think about it anymore, with your talent and learning, you will definitely be on the list in the imperial examination." ”

Wei Yan waved his hand and said: "Don't think about it, my ancestor's title of Marquis of Weinan was obtained in exchange for military merits, and the younger brother is not talented, and he also wants to be like his ancestors, relying on military merits to lay a solid foundation, instead of relying on his old father's relief like now." ”

"Okay, since my brother has this ambition, then I will toast you here, and you and I will create great achievements together." He Fang said heroically.

Wei Yan had another drink with He Fang and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it, Brother He, I have also thought a lot about this time, especially when I think of what I did before, I am really ashamed, as a son, but let my father be blamed in front of His Majesty, as a husband, I am even more unqualified, I can't even protect my wife's life, I Wei Yan has really lived in vain for more than 20 years." ”

"What? Brother still can't forget that woman? He Fang asked with a frown.

Wei Yan sighed: "How can you forget? As the prince of Weinan, I have had many women over the years, but only Du Niang really came to my heart. ”

When He Fang heard this, he grabbed Wei Yan's collar and said angrily: "Brother, you are really confused, you have to know how much your father has paid to save your life, you have to understand even more, if it weren't for the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven today, you would have died a long time ago, you should understand these things?" It's not worth it for a woman, and besides, she doesn't really like you, she approaches you with a purpose. ”

"Nonsense, I admit everything else, but I will never allow others to slander the relationship between me and Du Niang." Wei Yan broke free and roared angrily.

He Fang didn't laugh angrily, threw a page to Wei Yan, and then sneered: "Brother, take a good look, these people above are all your benefactors, I took a general look, there are hundreds of people, it's really amazing." ”

Wei Yan was annoyed and ashamed, pulled out his knife and shouted at He Fang: "You are talking nonsense, Lao Tzu wants to tear up your stinky mouth." ”

He Fang laughed and said: "Haha, don't believe it, this is your family's Du Niang personally wrote it down in front of Lord He Jun of Jinyi Wei, I was at the scene at the time, so to speak, the children in Du Niang's belly are not necessarily yours."

"Shut up." Wei Yan roared angrily.

He Fang laughed and took out a knife and said, "If you want to fight, I will fight, don't talk nonsense, let my brother see how much you have grown recently." ”

Wei Yan roared, rushed over with a knife first, He Fang flashed and smiled: "Hehe, the momentum is very strong, but the strength is a little worse." After speaking, a knife directly slashed at Wei Yan's knife edge, and then Wei Yan's long knife was picked open by He Fang, He Fang put the knife into the sheath and said, "Now you are convinced, right?" ”

Wei Yan lay on the ground like a child and cried, He Fang sighed and said: "Brother, brother advises you again, let go of that woman, if you really want to join the army, go to your brother's southeast water division, and my brother will keep you safe for the rest of your life." ”

"If Lao Tzu doesn't go, Lao Tzu will go to the fine willow camp." Wei Yan stood up and said angrily.

He Fang spread his hands and said: "It's all up to you, but Lou Chong's training is very perverted, don't be unbearable when the time comes, run back and cry your nose." ”

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, I was unstable just now, let's continue to come, this time I will definitely beat you to the ground." Wei Yan snorted coldly.

Soon the two crackled again......

Chang'an in August is the hottest time, thousands of students were assigned to the four schools of the Beijing army to take the exam, because the time is urgent, so Li Jun is just a simple tent for people to set up, and the scholars who come to refer to it are very concerned about the image, so everyone is hot and sweaty, of course, except for the people of the Mo family, this time the Mo family came to see the exam more than 20 people, all barefoot wearing shorts and shorts.

Li Jun was refuting the summer in Ganquan Palace at this time, even in this difficult summer, the emperor's days would naturally not be bitter there, and in the room where Li Jun reviewed the folds, a Xiaoice mountain was placed, so not only was the room very cool, but Li Jun could put some ice cubes in the wine when he was thirsty and drink it.

At this time, He Shen ran in sweating profusely, Li Jun put down his pen and rubbed his forehead and asked, "Is it still so hot outside?" ”

"Your Majesty, today is hotter than yesterday." He Shen hurriedly replied.

Li Jun immediately ordered: "Order the Shaofu to give five taels of ice charcoal money to each household of the people of Chang'an, and the civil and military officials must not forget it, and hurry up to boil some mung bean soup and send it to the scholars who are taking the exam." ”

"Your Majesty is merciful." He Shen was ready to leave after patting his ass.

Li Jun hurriedly called out to He Shen and said: "This little thing, just let the people under your hands do it, you are also old, the weather is so hot, don't run around, just stay in the house." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Shen said with red eyes.

For this kind of move that can win the hearts of the people with a small amount of money, Li Jun has never been stingy, Li Jun calculated, even if there are millions of people in Chang'an City, five taels per person is only 500,000 yuan, this money can only be regarded as a drizzle for Li Jun's inner library.

When the scholars were in the scorching heat, at this time, several officials from Shaofu came over with two large vats of mung bean soup, mung beans had already been introduced to the Central Plains, and the yield was extremely high, and there were many in Shaofu, so the people in Shaofu didn't feel distressed at all when they took out so many mung beans at once.

The head of the official wiped the sweat on his head and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, stop for a moment, let the official say a few words, the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, pity that it is not easy to wait for the exam, the special officer sent mung bean soup, a bowl per person, heatstroke prevention and cooling is very effective, and His Majesty specially arranged the imperial doctor in the examination room, if anyone feels unwell, be sure to say it in advance, and seek medical treatment in time." ”

"Students, thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Everyone immediately rushed to the direction of the palace and thanked him.

Xiao Renjie was next to the Shaofu official, so he was the first to get the mung bean soup, Xiao Renjie didn't say a word, he just dried it up, and after drinking it, he hiccuped very unimagedly, and then let out a breath, and his body suddenly felt much lighter.

For the people of Chang'an, this is the first time they have received a gift from the royal family, although it is small, but the friendship is very heavy, so for a while, Li Jun's name of virtue resounded throughout the capital......
