Baozhou's situation soon became an excerpt under the report of Jinyiwei, and fell on Xiang Chi's dragon case, but Xiang Chi didn't pay much attention to these already expected situations, unless Yu Guang personally folded it, it was worth his attention, and at present, Yu Guang didn't, which shows that Baozhou's situation is still under his control, with the luck of a good teacher, Xu Ping is known as the first capable general of the Great Chu Water Army, Xiang Chi is confident, he will definitely be able to solve Baozhou's problems.

In addition, and the most important thing, the first big exam of Wude Dynasty will officially start three days later, and all the students from all over Dachu have rushed to Luoyang.

And often at this time, the mansions of the imperial court officials are also full of guests.

Inside the mansion of Han Wenliang, the secretary of the ministry.

"Nephew, meet my uncle" In the main hall, a white-clothed scholar with an extraordinary aura and handsome appearance saluted Han Wenliang respectfully on the main seat.

"Guozhong, don't be polite," Han Wenliang said softly.

"Uncle Xie"

"Sit down," Han Wenliang pointed to the side.

"Yes," Han Zhong sat down respectfully.

"Your father has already shown me all the papers of your township test and the exam, which is very good, especially the handwriting, which is even more rare" Han Wenliang appreciated.

"Uncle Xie"

"This scientific examination, you have to pay special attention, because this is the first big examination since His Majesty ascended the throne, although the imperial court attaches great importance to talent, but also attaches importance to qualifications, this first batch of outstanding talents will inevitably become the pillars of the Wude Dynasty in the next few decades, so you must be calm during the exam, don't panic" Han Wenliang said with concern.

"Yes, uncle"

"Although Your Majesty has only ascended the throne for less than a year, you have already shown the style of a male lord and a holy monarch, if you can go to high school, you should be loyal to the country, respect Your Majesty and protect the people," Han Wenliang admonished.

"Yes"

Han Wenliang smiled and said, "The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites are in charge of scientific examinations, so my uncle can't keep you for too long, let alone keep you for dinner, but if you are in high school, your uncle will have a banquet to celebrate."

"Uncle Xie" Han Zhong quickly stood up and said gratefully.

"Go ahead," Han Wenliang waved his hand.

"Yes"

After seeing Han Zhong leave, a woman with an elegant bearing walked out of the back hall and said with concern: "Guozhong is okay this time, right?" ”

"It's not certain, it depends on his own chance, but depending on the situation of the test in another country, there should be no problem" Han Wenliang said.

"Husband, can you help?" the woman whispered.

Han Wenliang frowned instantly, "Scientific research has always been the most important place for my Da Chu, but if any official cheats for personal gain, he will immediately be beheaded all over the house, and the three clans will be in trouble, how can Madam have such a dangerous idea"

The woman was startled, and immediately bowed her head in fear.

"In addition, Weifu only knows the big questions, and in addition to the big questions, the exam also has an understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the Six Arts, which only the three scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion and Zhang Xiang know, but they are close to the examination room, and they will not be seeing anyone from the beginning to the end, so everything depends on their own efforts" Han Wenliang said solemnly.

"I also see that this child is really well-behaved, and I am afraid that he will be sad that he did not pass the examination," the woman said.

However, what the woman didn't know was that after his well-behaved Han Zhong walked out of the gate of the mansion again, his face turned to one side, revealing a bit of shrewdness and cunning, and he completely lost his honesty in front of Han Wenliang.

"Childe" A close scholar immediately ran over.

"Our uncle is so honest that he says nothing more than those few words, alas! Forget it, let's go meet Yang Xiang next" Han Zhong shook his head and smiled.

"Yes"

。。。。。

On the other side, in the mansion of Shen Cong, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

"Meet my father-in-law" I saw Xiang Jie with a beautiful and well-behaved woman saluting Shen Cong.

"Your Highness, please hurry up," Shen Cong hurriedly said.

"Father-in-law Xie" Xiang Jie stood up.

"Your Royal Highness, this official is really ashamed, there is no way to teach his daughter, I hope you don't take it to heart" Shen Cong said apologetically, Shen Xinying was in broad daylight, chasing Xiang Jie in the Qinglou, how could he not know, although he was a little dissatisfied with Xiang Jie's profligacy, but doing so was really not what everyone should have.

The woman next to "Father" was really Shen Xinying, and I saw her pouting aggrievedly at this time.

"What kind of expression do you have, if it weren't for King Ning's generosity, my father would have brought you back a long time ago, so as not to be embarrassed," Shen Cong said.

"My father-in-law is serious, everything is my son-in-law's fault, but please rest assured that my father-in-law will definitely reform his life in the future and be a new person" Xiang Jie hurriedly maintained.

Hearing this, Shen Xinying bit her lip lightly and lowered her head with a little blush.

Looking at Xiang Jie, who had a little more military aura and his face seemed to be much stiffer, Shen Cong nodded with relief and said, "Your Highness, are you okay in the Blood Tiger Army?" ”

"Father, that General Xu You is too ruthless, and he has injured his husband several times" Hearing this, Shen Xinying complained with some distress.

"No, no, General Xu You's martial arts are peerless, he loves soldiers like a son, he is strict with me, he is worried that I, the dignified prince of the king, if I really fight in the future, I can be a little more secure, a little less dangerous, speaking of which, in fact, his pressure is even greater" Xiang Jie said with reverence and understanding.

"Okay, Your Highness, you can say that, the old minister is really pleased, General Xu You and the old minister have also seen it a few times, and he definitely has the qualifications of the world's tiger general, follow him to study hard, and the future will become atmospheric" Shen Cong said happily.

"With the good words of my father-in-law, my son-in-law will definitely redouble my efforts"

"Good"

"Uncle" At this time, a man with a thoughtful face, a calm temperament, and a stubborn look in his eyes walked in and saluted respectfully.

"Cousin" Shen Xinying said happily after seeing it.

"Cousin" Shen Peng smiled lightly.

Shen Cong immediately introduced: "Your Highness, this is Shen Peng, the son of Shen Yue, the eldest brother of Xiaguan, and this time he is here to participate in the scientific examination."

"Student Shen Peng, meet Your Highness," Shen Peng immediately saluted.

"No need to be polite, since it is Xinying's cousin, it is also Xiao Wang's cousin," Xiang Jie said with a smile.

"Your Highness"

At this time, a family member ran in and said, "Your Majesty has passed you into the palace."

"Got it" After Shen Cong nodded, he said to Xiang Jie: "Your Highness, the old minister will leave first, and you will have a good gathering at home."

"Father-in-law, please," Xiang Jie nodded.

Seeing Shen Cong leave, Shen Xinying said gently: "Cousin, you are finally here"

"Naturally, I have long said that after Your Majesty ascends the throne, I will definitely come," Shen Peng said firmly.

Xiang Jie, who was on the side, heard this, showing a trace of curiosity, and after the three of them communicated, Shen Peng thought that he wanted to go back to his room to read books and take the exam, and left.

Xiang Jie hesitated for a while and said, "Madam, why did your cousin say that after His Majesty ascended the throne, he would definitely come, did he know Your Majesty?"

Shen Xinying was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course"

"How did you meet," Xiang Jie said curiously.

"That's a long story, three years ago, my cousin won the township test in a row, and he came to Luoyang in high spirits, ready to be the top student in high school, and glorify his ancestors, but a man who made him unable to compete with him at all blocked him and beat his pride and sharpness clean" Shen Xinying shook her head and said.

"Oh! Who is it? Xiang Jie was surprised.

Shen Xinying smiled bitterly, "It's Brother Xiao"

"What" Xiang Jie was taken aback and said, "Then, how dare he come, even my sister doesn't dare to treat Brother Xiao casually"

"Of course your sister can't, but there is a person who defeated Brother Xiao in the subsequent martial arts competition, and in the same unstoppable attitude" Shen Xinying showed reverence when she said this.

Hearing this, Xiang Jie took a breath and said in a low voice, "You're talking about the imperial brother."

"Yes, it's Your Majesty, in the whole world, only Your Majesty can suppress Brother Xiao, and then Brother Xiao apologized, and my cousin was grateful, and decided to wait for Your Majesty to ascend the throne, and then come to the exam, he vowed to become a courtier of His Majesty's generation, and did his best for His Majesty to die" Shen Xinying replied.

"So that's the case, why don't I know about this matter," Xiang Jie said curiously.

"Actually, I didn't know, the only people present at that time were His Majesty, cousin, Brother Xiao, and Sister Wenjun, and Sister Wenjun told me about this matter later," Shen Xinying explained.

"Oh!" Xiang Jie nodded and said, "Then it is estimated that Your Majesty suddenly let your father-in-law enter the palace because of this."

"Maybe! But," Shen Xinying frowned.

"But what"

"But my cousin is sometimes too stubborn, he doesn't know how to be flexible, and he doesn't know whether it's good or bad," Shen Xinying shook her head and said.
