Ma Yin's founding did not have much impact on other forces, after all, other forces had already regarded it as an independent force before that. The kingdom that has been established is now just one more name.

However, although it was only one more name, it still touched the hearts of some people in Wu State.

With the annexation of Fujian, if the current state of Wu only counts the size of the territory, the territory under its actual control is already above the state of Liang.

Although many of Wu's current territory is in an undeveloped state, and the population and the number of prefectures and counties are not as good as Zhu Wen, the overall strength is completely inferior to Zhu Wen.

In addition, Liu Yin in Lingnan, Lu Guangchou in Qianzhou, and small countries such as Taifeng and Baekje came to the dynasty one after another, and regarded Wu as orthodoxy, and now Wu has a little orthodox atmosphere.

In this case, Ma Yin, a force that had always refused to submit, now dared to open a government to establish a state and set up a hundred officials, which made some of the self-proclaimed orthodox civil servants of Wu State very dissatisfied, and they wrote to ask for a crusade against Ma Yin.

In addition, some people believe that although Lingnan Liu Yin was nominally subordinate, he actually led one side and was the enemy of Wu.

They felt that now that the Wu army had taken Fujian without much effort, they might as well continue to take advantage of the victory and take Lingnan in one fell swoop.

Looking at these messy books, Yang Wu couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.

This is the adverse reaction of winning the battle, and everyone is a little flustered, thinking that Wu Guo can now sweep the world.

It is true that this expedition to Fujian did not take much effort, and the soldiers did not fight any battles except for marching, and only needed a little rest before they could continue to use their troops.

However, if everyone has such a high-minded mentality, I am afraid that a big defeat will not be far away.

An arrogant army will be defeated, and this applies to no matter how strong an army is.

Fortunately, those who wrote were just young people who did not grasp the core powers, and the important ministers of the cabinet were very cautious one by one and did not forget the fundamental strategy of taking steps to operate.

Therefore, those who wrote to ask for war died down after being reprimanded by Yang Wu.

On this day, inside the royal palace.

"Brother Wang, hug, hug." In the imperial garden, a little girl with pink makeup, dressed in pink palace clothes, was opening a pair of pink hands and hugging a handsome young man, looking very cute.

At this time, another little girl, who was even younger and had just learned to walk not long ago, also opened her hands and said in a milky voice: "Father, I want to hug too!" ”

"Good! Come here, Xiao Ning'er, Xiao Shu'er, come over and let me hug! Yang Wu smiled and put down the paperwork in his hand, stretched out his hands and hugged the two little girls.

These two little guys, the older one is Yang Wu's youngest sister Yang Ning, the posthumous daughter left by Yang Xingmi.

Her mother is Wang, she is not yet four years old this year, but she likes to stick to Yang Wu very much.

She was originally favored by Yang Wu because she was the youngest, and she looked very similar to Yang Wu's sister Yang Jing, which made Yang Wu love it even more.

As for the younger one, it is Yang Wu's own daughter Yang Shu, who is only more than a year old this year.

However, although she is still young, she has an extremely naughty personality, and she plays around behind her little aunt every day, causing trouble, and is a troublemaker in the palace.

"Come down, you brother and father, you are busy with official business now, you all go to the side to play, don't make trouble!" On the side, the queen Zhou Mengjie, who was accompanying her, hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the two.

After listening to Zhou Mengjie's words, the two little guys suddenly pursed their mouths, frowned, and looked at Yang Wu with a pitiful look.

In the harem, none of these two little guys are afraid, but Zhou Mengjie is afraid, which is also a strange thing.

Yang Wu hurriedly let go of the two and protected the two of them and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I also want to take a rest, there is no need to be so serious." ”

"Don't spoil them too much, lest you be too arrogant and not easy to marry when you grow up in the future!" Zhou Mengjie whispered.

"Look at what you said, a little girl who is only a few years old, you are thinking about getting married in the future!" Yang Wu was immediately happy.

"Why can't you think about it? You see that the fifth sister was only a few years old at the beginning, and she was just a little girl, but it has only been a few years, and now she is already a girl in the boudoir! Time flies! The king is not in a hurry now, but it will be too late in the future! Zhou Mengjie said with some dissatisfaction.

The fifth sister she mentioned was Yang Wu's sister Yang Qin, who ranked fifth among her many sisters, so she was called the fifth sister by Zhou Mengjie.

Yang Qin is fifteen years old this year and was officially canonized as Princess Yongning by Yang Wu.

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. For Yang Wu, now that Yang Xingmi is gone, his younger sisters are naturally taken care of by him.

According to the eyes of later generations, the fifteen-year-old girl has just entered her first year of high school, and her body is far from growing, and she is still a long time away from getting married.

However, according to the rules of this era, it is already possible to get married.

Whether it is her mother, or Zhou Mengjie, etc., they are all urging her to find a good family.

Yang Wu couldn't change this, so he could only delay time as much as possible.

Seeing Zhou Mengjie mention it, Yang Wu asked with a smile: "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to find a scholar for the fifth sister to be a colt?" How's that, any new ideas now? ”

Yang Qin's mother, Li, is only one of Yang Xingmi's dozen concubines, because she has a daughter, she is also respected as a concubine, but her status is much lower than that of Shi and Wang.

Not to mention the Shi family, he gave birth to three sons, Yang Wu and Yang Longyan and the youngest Yang Che, for Yang Xingmi, and now she is respected as the queen mother, so she is naturally the most respected in status.

And the Wang family also gave birth to two sons, Yang Meng and Yang Pu, for Yang Xingmi, in addition to Yang Jing, Yang Ning and other daughters, who are now respected as concubines and their status is also very respected.

As for Yang Wu's other younger brother Yang Xun, his biological mother passed away a few years ago.

Therefore, among the concubines who gave birth to sons for Yang Xingmi, there are only Shi and Wang, and naturally their status is the highest, and even Zhou Mengjie has to be extremely respectful to them.

And Yang Qin's mother Li's status is much worse, so even if Yang Qin is her daughter, she can't make the decision about Yang Qin's marriage, and can only be decided by Zhou Mengjie.

At this time, hearing Yang Wu mention it, Zhou Mengjie sat down on the side and said: "My thoughts haven't changed, but now I still want to find her a reader, and she herself is very willing!" It's just that it's not easy to find a good one! ”

"Isn't it going to start the imperial examination again soon? At that time, candidates from all over the world will come to Jinling to take the exam, can't they find a suitable one? Yang Wu said with some disdain.

Nowadays, the imperial examination of Wu is also gradually on the right track, and it will be held every two years, and the number of people admitted each time can be as few as a few dozen or as many as hundreds, which is much more than the number of people admitted to the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty in the past.

However, correspondingly, such a large number of admissions means that when they are conferred officials, most of them can only be awarded the official positions of the eighth or even the ninth grade, and only the top few candidates can directly enter the official position of the seventh grade.

In addition, Wu Guo also stipulated that once all candidates passed the examination, they were not allowed to take the examination again, and the result was that many people would not come to the imperial examination when they were not sure about the top few in the examination.

As a result, in recent years, the quality of candidates for the imperial examination has not been relatively high, and it is much worse than the previous two imperial examinations.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the previous two candidates have accumulated over a long period of time.

Before the imperial examination was held in Huainan, many scholars had no way to take the imperial examination, and after Huainan started the imperial examination, these people naturally came to participate.

As a result, there seemed to be a lot of talent in those two sessions.

This year is another year of big competition, and candidates from all over the country who have passed the previous assessment will soon gather in Jinling to participate in the examination held by the Ministry of Rites.

"Speaking of this year's examination, there are really two young scholars who are very good, both of them are talented in Yunwen and Yunwu, and the concubine has also sent someone to inquire, and these two are not married now. So if they can pass the exam this year, maybe the concubine will choose one of the two of them as the fifth sister's concubine! Zhou Mengjie said with a smile.

"Well, really?" Yang Wu became interested, he put the two little girls down, sent them to play, and then said to Zhou Mengjie with a smile: "I don't know much about the situation of this year's test, I didn't expect you to inquire in advance!" ”

"You still say! The fifth sister is your sister, but you don't care at all, so the concubine has to help you inquire. ”

"Okay, then tell me, which two scholars are they that make you feel good?" Yang Wu hurriedly interrupted her.

"These two scholars, one is Xu Zhihe, the adopted son of Xu Wen, the newly appointed governor of Fujian, it is said that he was adopted by his father for a period of time, you should know him very well!"

"It's him!" Yang Wu's face suddenly became a little unnatural.

For Xu Zhihe, he hasn't paid attention to it for a long time, and he doesn't even know that he is now taking the road of the imperial examination.

After so many years, the so-called hatred of the past will naturally no longer exist now, at most there is only a trace of vigilance, warning yourself not to forget the difficulties of keeping your business, especially in this unpredictable era, if you don't pay attention to it, maybe that scene in history may be repeated.

Of course, although the hatred has been put down, if he wants to marry his sister to him, Yang Wu will not be willing to say anything.

"Isn't he twenty years old this year? Don't you have a family yet? ”

"It is said that in order to get into the top three, he has studied hard all these years, so he has not started a family!"

Yang Wu nodded, thoughtful, and then asked, "Then what about the other good candidate you said?" What about him? Wouldn't it be the son of a certain minister? ”

Zhou Mengjie couldn't help but feel a little strange when she heard it, listening to Yang Wu's tone, she didn't seem to want to marry Yang Qin to Xu Zhihe.

But she couldn't control these things, she said with a smile: "The other person is named Jiang Tinghui, who is eighteen years old this year, both civil and military, and can be a good match for the fifth sister!" ”
