In the spring of the twelfth year of Zhenguan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the year of another big competition, more than 10,000 scholars gathered in Hanjing, and 5,000 people participated in the examination.

Taishi Li Chao once again served as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, which was also the sixth time that Li Chao served as the chief examiner. Three times the chief examiner of the old imperial examination, plus three new imperial examination chief examiners, and he is also the chief examiner of the first imperial examination of Datang.

A sentence of peach and plum is all over the world, and it is not an exaggeration to go everywhere with protégés.

It is said that now the scholars have offered Li Chao to worship, and there are even merchants who carve small wooden statues of Li Chao to sell to scholars, and the scholars wear them with them, it is said that in this way, they can obtain the blessing of the great master Li Chao, and can improve the chance of the title of the gold list in the future.

One exam on three days, and the exam will be completed on the ninth day.

Li Chao selected Pei Yan as the Huiyuan and admitted 500 tributes.

Subsequently, the crown prince Chengqian personally held a palace examination in the Zhenguan Palace, and was divided into a class according to the results, and was given the first, the first birth, and the same background.

As soon as the gold list came out, Huiyuan Pei Yan was the champion.

This new champion Hedong Pei was born in the Pei family, and he is considered to be the same clan as the prime minister of martial arts, but it is not one.

Born in a famous family, and a high school champion, he is still young and handsome, for a while, Pei Yan became the most hotly discussed figure in Hanjing City, it is said that many relatives ran to snatch this champion Lang, and wanted to pull him back to be a son-in-law, and acted in a lively scene of catching a son-in-law under the list.

The champion of the new department took the new science and technology scholars to parade through the streets, and Chang'an was full of joy.

Li Chao was playing chess in the palace.

The chess pieces fall in the center of the board, crisp and loud.

Cheng Qian held the chess pieces, but he couldn't keep up for a long time.

"Don't worry, Wen Po is the best Wen Po in Hanjing, and she helped my family receive seven, all of them are safe for mother and child. Didn't she also say that the fetal position is very correct. Li Chao looked at the chessboard and said in a low voice, with a relaxed tone.

"I'm going to be a father, I don't know if I have a son or a daughter." Cheng Qian's voice was excited.

"You'll know when you have a baby."

Three years ago, Li Chao took Cheng Qian to Ciyaotai, and then Li Shimin asked people to take the two girls into the East Palace. After three years, Cheng Qian is finally going to be a father.

"Your Highness!"

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and a waiter in the East Palace trotted over.

"Born, born."

Cheng Qian stood up excitedly, overturned the chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces were scattered all over the ground, but he didn't care about it, and grabbed the waiter, "How is Yang Fengyi?" ”

Li Chao added on the side, "Born a boy or a girl?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Taishi, Yang Fengyi's mother and son are safe. Congratulations to Your Highness, happy Linzi! ”

"Hahaha, the joy of Zhang!" Li Chao smiled and congratulated Cheng Qian.

"I gave birth to a handle, haha, Lone is a father, Lone has a son." Being a father for the first time, Cheng Qian was so excited that he didn't know how to speak.

His daughter has not yet married into the East Palace, but the prince has already married someone else's son, and Li Chao is not the slightest unhappy. Anyway, Yang Fengyi was born in a kabuki, and this kind of identity can't be on the stage, let alone threaten his daughter's status.

But she gave birth to a son for the prince, even if this son is a concubine, after all, he is also Li Shimin's eldest grandson. This is not of some help to stabilize the position of the crown prince.

"Let's go, take Gu to see." Cheng Qian excitedly pulled the waiter outside.

The newborn child was ugly, with red skin, a wrinkled face, and unopened eyes, like a little mouse.

However, when Cheng Qian watched the little child stretch out his little hand and hold his fingers tightly, he was extremely happy in his heart.

This is the joy of being a first-time father.

"Daddy should give you a nickname, but what should I call it?" Cheng Qian looked at the little man in the palace man's arms and said.

After thinking about it for a long time, Cheng Qian finally thought of a name.

"Let's call it Anu!"

Giving children cheap names in order to make ends meet, not only in ordinary people's homes, but also in royal families. Ordinary people give their sons nicknames and call cats, dogs, pigs, and children, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhist temples flourished, so there were many Buddha names.

And it is also very common to take slaves with nicknames, and Li Zhi's nickname is called Pheasant Slave. Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, was nicknamed Jinu.

"Anu!"

Li Chao stepped forward, teased him, and called his name. Other palace attendants also came to call Anu, and it is said that after shouting like this, it will be good to feed and not be taken away.

Cheng Qian was very happy.

The crown prince immediately issued an order, and Jin Feng Feng was awarded Yang Fengyi as Zhaoxun. It has been promoted from nine to seven!

"Lone wants to report the good news to Your Majesty immediately!"

When Li Chao returned home, even Cui Yingying and the others already knew that Yang Fengyi had given birth to a son for the prince.

"Why did you give birth to a son, it's not better to have a daughter." Cui Yingying took off her coat for Li Chao while muttering quietly.

"What does it matter if you have children and daughters, there is a difference between grandchildren and concubines, and it cannot be crossed at all. Yang Fengyi gave birth to an eldest boy, and it doesn't matter. ”

"Our Xia Hua Niang is also eleven years old, if you don't know how to let her enter the palace!" Cui Yingying whispered, hearing that Cheng Qian already had an eldest son, she suddenly became nervous for her daughter.

"What do you think, Xia Hua is only eleven years old, and she said that she would marry into the East Palace at the age of sixteen. Eleven-year-old girls haven't grown up yet. ”

In Li Chao's eyes, his eldest daughter Li Fanghua is still a cute baby. is only eleven years old, and she has just graduated from elementary school in the next generation, so young, let her get married?

It's too early, Li Chao is absolutely reluctant.

Although the little girl is already slim and slim, she is as tall as Li Chao's chin, but she is only eleven.

Cui Yingying said, "It's not small, the girl has already come to the menstrual period and is an adult." ”

Li Chao was very helpless when he heard it.

In this era, many people set the standard of a woman's adulthood as menarche. When menstruation comes, even if you are an adult, you can get married and have children.

But they didn't want to think about how old the girl was at this time. They are not fully developed, and they still have to continue to grow taller, and even their skeletons are not fully developed.

Marriage too early can affect development, and even cause problems such as dystocia because of premature pregnancy.

At this time, the medical and health conditions were not good, and many young mothers did not have a hard time.

"Empress Changsun also married His Majesty at the age of twelve."

Li Chao shook his head resolutely.

"Fifteen years old at the earliest."

"But you don't have to worry, this time it's Yang Fengyi, she was born in a kabuki, and we don't worry about her humble status. But the prince is already seventeen, and if he waits for another five years, these five years will be a lot of dreams. At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will accept a few more famous families or daughters of honorable relatives into the palace, and then they will not be Fengyi and Zhaoxun, but will directly be Liangdi and Liangyuan, if they give birth to a prince, it will be a great threat to our Xia Huaniang. ”

Li Chao turned around and held his wife's hand.

"The older you get, the more you worry about it. You don't want to think about who our daughter is, she is lovely Fanghua, smart, beautiful and talented, and in a few years, she will definitely fall into the city. And don't you look at who your daughter's father is, it's me. I am the Taishi of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Zhao, and the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. With such a father, our daughter has entered the East Palace, who can't compete? ”

"So, don't be in a hurry. My daughter is so young now, and it is worrying that she has entered the palace. ”

Cui Yingying also sighed when Li Chao said this.

After changing his clothes, Li Chao went to the martial arts arena.

A group of children in the family are training martial arts here, riding horses, archery and swords, sword battles, spear piercing, and even musket practice.

The eldest son Li Jing is also eleven years old this year, Erlang Li Hui and Li Jing are twins born in the same day, and Sanlang Li Jing is only one day apart.

The three brothers were all tall, and their faces were already heroic.

started exercising when they were young, plus they often drank milk when they were young, and they often ate beef and mutton, so that although these three were only eleven years old, they were only half a head shorter than Li Chao, and they were all as strong as calves.

Although it was the end of February, the spring was cold, but the three of them were only wearing a pair of pants, and then they were fighting bareback with wooden swords.

It's not two people fighting, but three people attacking each other, and one person may face the combined attack of the other two at any time.

Seeing that they were fully engaged, shouting while fighting, their moves and strength were all presentable, Li Chao was very satisfied.

Li Chao walked to the side of the weapon rack, reached out and picked up a wooden gun without a head, shouted, joined the battle group, a wooden gun, and picked three sons in a row.

The three sons were stunned, looked at each other, and then shouted and besieged them with their wooden swords.

The other boys stopped practicing, and stopped to watch their father play against the three brothers.

Although Li Chao has not practiced anything famous over the years, the old iron gun's marksmanship is only superficial, but after all, he is in his early thirties, and his body is strong by exercising all year round, compared to his three sons who are only eleven years old, he still has a lot of momentum when wielding a gun.

After a long time of clanging bells, Li Chao put away his gun panting, already sweating profusely.

"Yes, the three of you already have some skills, but your strength is still insufficient, especially in terms of skills, you are too immature, and you will need to strengthen your training in the future."

Li Jing stepped forward with a smile, handing over towels and water.

"Dad, when can I go to the fiefdom?"

Li Chao raised his head and glanced at Erlang Li Hui, "With your three-legged cat kung fu, it's too early to go to the fiefdom to be a lord." Moreover, it is not enough to have martial arts alone, to be a qualified lord, the most important thing is the brain. You have to study well first, and I don't want you to participate in the imperial examination in the future, but you have to have knowledge. Especially as a lord, you also have to learn geography, physics, economy, strategy, and tactics, understand? ”

"You should also have a good relationship with your own companions."

As early as a few years ago, Li Chao selected a group of teenagers of the same age for his sons to be their companions. Learn and practice martial arts together, and receive the same training. These teenagers, who were basically orphans, were told from before they were chosen to follow them that they would be companions for life.

Now they are companions, and in the future, Li Chao's sons will become lords, and they will become knights and retainers.

This is Li Chao's initial team for each son, so that they can start to have their own team. This is also the basic training to become a lord, from childhood to now leading and managing the team.

"In another five years, when Xia Hua marries into the East Palace, you will go to your respective fiefdoms." Li Chao looked at his sons and said.
