Moreover, Cai Dao said that according to reliable sources, so far, the two princesses only need portraits of the two of them.

How does this surprise Cai You and Cai Shan?

As a result, after building the attic in the nursery school, Cai Dao went to Cao's Mansion three days later to chat with Uncle Cao's old man. He didn't really care too much about the princess's son-in-law.

Cai You and Cai Shan are good, but it is not a bad thing that they cannot be selected.

At this time, there were already many candidates in Bianliang City who wanted to take this year's imperial examination, and Uncle Cao told Cai Dao that the number of them was more than ten times that of Emperor Renzong's peak.

However, these students, as long as they are interested in the imperial examination, will naturally not participate in the nursery school poetry club, which is indeed the best shortcut to heaven, but if they are really selected, it will also ruin the possibility of further students. Anyway, in the Great Song Dynasty, the supervision of foreign relatives was very strict, and the horses basically could not participate in the government affairs.

What's more, once you participate in it, if you lose the election, you will lose face and spread it, and you will leave a reputation of luck in the hearts of the examiners. That's more than worth the loss.

Therefore, in Bianliang City, most of the people who participated in this poetry meeting were the children of the Wenchen family and the military general family. After all, there is a regular quota for the emperor's rewards, and today's civil and military generals, which family does not have more than a dozen children and grandchildren at home. If you can win, you will be able to reduce the number of opponents who will compete for the title or the shadow filler.

These sons and brothers all went with such a purpose, and one person unexpectedly also ran for the election, he is Cai Dao's eldest brother - Cai Wu.

Cai Wu is dressed like five or six people, but he is really embarrassed to enter the nursery, and now he and his sister have spread their reputation throughout Bianliang City, that is, Cai Wang's family still treats them as treasures. Even Cai Bian himself knows it, but since he has not been able to discipline them since he was a child, and Cai Wang is here, he has no choice but to let it go.

It's no wonder that Cai Bian likes Cai Shan so much.

The results of the poetry meeting were not unexpected. Will poetry be, naturally there is no relationship with the Cai family. Cai Jing and Cai Bian are famous for their poetry, and if they take the school calligraphy exam, the two children of Cai Fu can still compete.

Cai Dao doesn't care who gets the top three in the poetry club, and he doesn't have to worry about it, because, the news from the palace said that even if the fifth and sixth princesses participated in the poetry club, they only chose the Cai brothers in the end.

As expected, the fifth princess chose Cai You, and stayed until next year, after the filial piety period, the fifth princess just turned sixteen. did not delay Cai You's family at all.

The sixth princess will have to wait for two or three years, but Cai Shan's own age is not very old.

As for the eighth princess, the news of who she chose did not come out.

However, there are rumors that the selected sons are all sons who perform better and are younger than Cai Shan. There is no way, the age of the eighth princess is too young, at least she has to wait for more than three years.

This made Cai Wu, who heard the news, very disgraced, you know, in order to participate in this poetry meeting, he spent a lot of money to buy poems from several famous talents. It's just that I wasn't selected as the top three. But why were Cai You and that slut chosen by the two princesses?

Cai Wu was really angry, so he took his subordinates to the nursery to make a big fuss, he thought he was smart, and his uncle didn't dare to go, but no matter how powerful Cai Dao was, he was also his younger brother. But as a result, before he arrived at the door of the nursery, he was robbed and beaten by a group of masked men. Cai Wu was not injured except for his clothes being stripped naked, but his dog minions who were used to bullying people were all broken an arm and a leg.

It's broad daylight!

When a few scholars were passing by, they wanted to go up to help, but they were hurriedly pulled away by his companions.

As soon as I asked my companion, I knew that if he had been in a hurry to help just now, not only would he not get the sympathy of the people in Bianliang City, maybe they would have been beaten for no reason.

Cai Wu was angry and sued Kaifeng Mansion. But who is he suing?

The man who beat him moved quickly, came and went without a trace. According to reliable information in the city, after those people beat Cai Wu's men, they immediately left the city and left Bianliang City. What's more, Cai Wu himself was not injured, but those dog legs were something that Yang Wei had long wanted to clean up. The reason why Cai Wu was reluctant not to pursue Cai Wu's behavior in the past was that the Cai brothers' power in the court was too great, not to mention Cai Dao.

So, Yang Wei played a trick and wanted to detain all Cai Wu's subordinates in the Kaifeng Mansion Prison, and the reason given was that these dogs were involved in the crowd fight, what caught those who beat people, when they were in the court, and they were able to distinguish between right and wrong.

Cai Wu has become a toothless tiger now, so he can only lock himself in the mansion and sulk.

To be honest, even Cai Jing has a headache for his own nephew, if it is his own son, he has to break his leg. But it is Cai Bian's sister-in-law, and he is also the heart of his brother-in-law Cai Wang. This made Cai Jing very difficult.

In fact, in Bianliang City, most people could guess that Cai Dao sent people to beat those dogs, but even if they knew, no one took it seriously. Cai Wu himself took people to find Cai Dao's stubble. For the enemy, this Luo pot is a plague god-level existence, and whoever gets it will be peeled off at the lightest.

The uproar at the nursery school poetry meeting began hastily, and when it ended, it was also quiet.

In the northwest, the Second Battle of Hongdecheng in the Western Xia Kingdom ended in a crushing defeat.

Zhang Qi used the 8,000 elite cavalry of Jiancheng and Zhekexing to kill more than 30,000 soldiers of the Western Xia Kingdom in one battle.

Here, Zhao Xu and Zhang Qi should both thank Cai Dao and the craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervisor.

It was Cai Dao's strategy that led the army of the Western Xia Kingdom to Huanqing Road again.

Because it is a lure to the enemy, the entire Huanqing Road is very well prepared, especially the Huanzhou City.

Due to the loss of the protection of Hongde City and its surrounding rock forts, Huanzhou City was basically the first line of this battle. The entire state city was immediately surrounded by tens of thousands of legions of the Western Xia Kingdom.

Perhaps it was the Western Xia Kingdom that received the news that the Great Song Kingdom sent troops to the south to conquer the Great Yue Kingdom, so this time in the battle of Hongdecheng, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang almost tried her best to take Huanzhou City.

At that time, there were not many soldiers in the city of Huanzhou, not even more than 10,000. However, in that Huanzhou City, there was not a single citizen, and all the 8,000 people were elite veterans of the forbidden army.
