The news about the Enkejia test was publicized through the official newspapers and the notice at the gate of the Gongyuan, and the northern candidates who fell did not return to their hometowns and had been waiting for the imperial court to give the statement, seeing this news, they were all overjoyed and praised the emperor Shengming; The southern candidates were not dissatisfied, because the notice said that the results of the previous examination were not invalid, and this additional examination was only used as a basis for assigning official positions, and the only thing that made the majority of candidates uneasy was the three contents of the additional examination. It was sold out in half an hour, and those who couldn't buy it had to buy it at a high price or borrow it, and hand-copied it overnight, and the time was urgent, so they couldn't help but hurry up to make up for it.

As the year is approaching, the day of the examination is set for seven days later, in such a short period of time, it is indeed a little nervous to formulate the examination questions, print the test papers, arrange the examination affairs, and the examination affairs are indeed a little nervous, the examination is just a matter of a yamen in the Ministry of Officials, but with the addition of Liu Ziguang, the deputy chief examiner, it has gradually evolved into a matter of joint participation of the South Factory, the Ministry of Industry, and the Criminal Department, and the South Factory is responsible for protection and confidentiality. The officials of the Criminal Department were locked in a secret courtyard, and each person was responsible for producing an exam question related to his own specialty, and then collecting it and handing it over to the printing house of the Ministry of Industry to print the exam questions.

Liu Ziguang is responsible for the deputy chief examiner, but he can't interfere with specific affairs, so he can only go to inspect a few laps every day, and then go back to the Nanchang Yamen office or go to the palace on duty, after all, he still has a position of leading the guard and the minister of the interior, but during this time, Liu Ziguang is very afraid to go to the palace, because he feels that he can't face the eldest princess, the eldest princess can't afford to be sick when she comes back from Jiangnan, she can't think about tea and dinner, she doesn't think about it, she doesn't deliberately go on a hunger strike, she can't eat anything, she doesn't make a small fish pot in her own bedroom every day, or she is stupid with a robe, and the whole person is getting haggard and haggard, without the style of the past, and everyone around the princess knows the reason, but no one dares to chew her tongue, because Nangong Tai, who has insight into her daughter's thoughtsThe concubine has issued a gag order, and it is absolutely not allowed to mention the cause of the princess, so to this day, the emperor does not know what the cause of his sister is.

It is also forgivable for Nangong Concubine to give a gag order, after all, when the princess of the dynasty is unrequited, the married minister is a very unseemly thing, and after the most painful days, she will find a wishful husband, and you may be able to forget this relationship, the concubine is planning to do so, Liu Ziguang is also very distressed, this matter is not handled well by him, if he can marry the princess before marrying Peng Jingrong, it will be good, it can not only enhance his political status, but also avoid hurting the innocent heart of a girl, and more importantly, he really likes Zhu Cheng.

It is impossible to change the authority now, no matter how big the authority is, it cannot challenge the authority of the royal family and the moral bottom line of the whole people, and let the princess be a concubine, this kind of thing doesn't even have to think about it, alas, take one step at a time, Liu Ziguang is also very helpless.

The arrival of twenty palace maids given by the emperor made Zhenwubo Mansion very lively, these beautiful and smart palace maids learned that the new master did not have a concubine, and the new lady was not around, one by one, they hollowed out their minds and leaned on Liu Ziguang's side, and they all wanted to become the concubine of the uncle, but Liu Ziguang didn't even get a few women around him, then Liu Xiaomei, who could still take care of their ambiguous identity, saw that it was getting more and more smart, the little girl wore a light robe every night, dangling in front of Liu Ziguang, showing off that pair of long legs, and the fox Han Xueer also took a pair of peach blossom eyes all day long, shyly and timidly secretly looked at him, it seemed to be very interesting to the uncle, originally Liu Ziguang asked Han Xueer to serve the south factoryThe work is similar to that of the KGB's swallow, but firstly, because Liu Xiaomei is unwilling to let go, and secondly, he feels that it is a pity that such a beautiful woman is cheaper for outsiders first, so Han Xueer is still in Liu's mansion as a maid.

Get rid of this cat and a fox, there is also Li Xiangjun in the small courtyard next door, this is Liu Ziguang's person who fished out from the teaching department, it stands to reason that he is already a person from Liu's mansion, to be a maid or a concubine, it all depends on Liu Ziguang's happiness, the Li family's people are dead, the former Hou Ye's family's young lady, the queen mother's niece and queen's candidate has fallen to this step, it is really embarrassing, since Xiao Xiangjun entered the house, Liu Ziguang has not been to see her, although he did not kill anyone in the Li family with his own hands, but the fall of the Li family is obviously caused by himself, Liu Ziguang feels that it is very unnatural to face this little girl as an enemy, just eat and drink every day, and support Li Xiangjun andNo further arrangements were made.

All people with status in addition to the main house have to marry a few concubines outside the main wife, a number of aunts and the like, the main house is used to show identity or do political alliances, the concubine room is used to reproduce the aunt, this kind of identity of the woman is a pure plaything, since I learned the news of Zhen Wubo's marriage, the dignitaries in the capital are a little lost, two days and began to be active again, have asked people to come to be a matchmaker, it is not easy to find such a powerful son-in-law, even if it is a concubine, Liu Ziguang of course did not agree to any marriage, this year, and there are no photos, all based on the matchmaker's mouth and birth date or something, to marry a woman who has never met and does not know the beauty and ugliness of the house, Liu Ziguang did notInterested, and he is very disgusted with women with small feet, this year, everyone's ladies are basically bound feet, this kind of deformed beauty is difficult to be accepted by modern people, fortunately, the Peng sisters did not bind their feet at all because their father was a traverser, and several women around Liu Ziguang were Tianzu for various reasons, Liu Xiaokitten was an orphan, naturally needless to say, the eldest princess was born as a fisherman, out of the need for work, and did not bind her feet, Hu Yimin lost her mother since she was a child, and her father was a crazy child who was not bound by legislation, and even Han Xueer, who grew up in rural Shandong, was also a pair of natural feet。

As soon as the war in the Taiwan Strait touches the ground, according to the 800-mile urgent border report, the Xiyi warships have blocked the Taiwan Strait, Penghu and the Zheng army on the island of Taiwan cannot be supplied, I am afraid that it has been destroyed, and the Zheng army that retreated to Xiamen is also fighting very hard, and it is unknown whether Xiamen Island can survive this winter, and the order of the imperial court to transfer troops has passed, but the forces under the command of the Fujian command are not enough to resist the powerful Xiyi coalition army, and they can only passively defend as such, and the coastal areas of Fujian are in danger if they continue like this.

It is a matter of time before the troops are mobilized, these days, the Governor of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War are busy for the war, the Metropolitan Governor Wei Guogong is not good at strategy, so he simply pushed all the decisions to the Ministry of War, Yuan Chonghuan, and Yuan Chonghuan has been implementing the strategy of first north and then south, advocating the consumption of Zhengjia's defense, Xiyi and other northern wars, and then recovering Taiwan, Liu Ziguang has objections to this, because in this way, it is equivalent to sealing the maritime trade routes, and a considerable part of the annual taxes of the Ming Dynasty are from the sea trade, if this lifeline is mastered by others, it is equivalent to holding the blood vessels of the Ming Dynasty, and the lack of money and food will inevitably affect the future Northern Expedition, although Liu Ziguang's status in the army is not as good as Yuan Chonghuan, but also has considerable prestigeYuan Chonghuan couldn't resist it, he simply pushed the handsome seal of the Southern Expedition to Liu Ziguang, saying that since you want to fight, then you will lead the troops, but the materials and money prepared for the Northern Expedition can't be moved, and the cabinet stood on Yuan Chonghuan's side, and quickly made a resolution to let Liu Ziguang take command of the Southern Expedition, and at the same time gave him the right to mobilize the naval divisions and the Fujian Command Envoy, as for the military expenses and materials, then I'm sorry, the military department is very nervous, and I can't take out how much silver is only 100,000 taels, do you like it.

100,000 is 100,000, Liu Ziguang doesn't care, even if he doesn't give a penny, he will fight a private war with his own family foundation, he is willing to do it, maybe for him, a person who has stayed in the 21st century, the meaning of the leaf-shaped island is more profound, in short, Taiwan must not fall into the hands of outsiders.

Although the cabinet and the Ministry of War were reluctant to give money, Liu Ziguang still raised a huge amount of money, which was the military expenditure contributed by the merchants of Zhejiang, Shanghai and Jiangsu, and at present, the war in Taiwan was pervasive, affecting their trade, and if the imperial court sailors could win, it would mean saving countless tolls and the risk of being looted for these giants who specialized in foreign trade.

In order to make up for the lack of warships, Liu Ziguang transformed a group of merchant ships of the original Fuyuan, and the airships were also trained in sea operations, and a large number of experienced sailors were added to the newly established Shanghai Naval Division, and they stepped up training day and night, and the charts and meteorological data in the Taiwan Strait presented by Zheng Sen were also memorized by the staff officers, and everyone was waiting for Liu Ziguang's arrival.
