Wei Feiyue was anxious when she heard Wei Xiyue say that matter, and she didn't even think much about it, so she directly asked Huo Zeyu out.

Huo Zeyu was still worried about the things at the previous banquet, and when he heard that Concubine Wei came to ask him out, he didn't hesitate and went directly.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry to ask me out? Huo Zeyu was a little puzzled.

Who would have thought that Wei Feiyue pounced directly in front of him, grabbed his hand, and looked pitiful, as if she was about to cry at any time, "Fourth prince, I heard that the emperor is going to marry you and Gu Xue'er, if it really happens, will you agree?" ”

Huo Zeyu didn't know the cause and effect of the matter, he only felt that Wei Feiyue was clueless when she said this, and she was very suspicious, so she didn't answer her words.

When Wei Feiyue saw Huo Zeyu's attitude, she became even more anxious, and her expression became more and more pitiful. "Brother Zeyu, can you not marry a concubine first, can you wait for me?"

Where has Huo Zeyu ever seen Wei Feiyue like this?

Wei Feiyue herself looks good, this pear blossom with rain came down, although Huo Zeyu couldn't figure out the situation, her heart was also tossed by her, and she immediately agreed. "Okay, okay, I won't marry a concubine for the time being, don't you cry, okay?"

When Wei Feiyue heard Huo Zeyu say this, she laughed contentedly, and chatted with Huo Zeyu casually about a few recent things, and then returned to the academy.

Wei Feiyue originally asked for leave, but today's incident also made her realize that she couldn't go on like this.

At least for her now, men are unreliable, whether it is Huo Zeyu or the prince.

And since she has no way to get Wei Xiyue down now, she can only rely on her own efforts to go to the monthly entrance examination, maybe Wei Xiyue will have a situation that day, so that she will get the first.

The monthly exams are coming soon.

Facts have proved that Wei Feiyue's efforts on this day were not in vain, and Wei Xiyue was not covered, both of them entered the top three.

The other person in the top three is Lin Shanshan.

Because the first place can get a promise from the emperor, the top three need to be assessed by the emperor himself.

As for the content of the assessment, it is naturally impossible to be as simple as the Four Books and Five Classics that the academy usually publishes, but to test the real thing related to their ability - policy theory.

The topic of the policy was also proposed by the emperor himself.

The topic is very simple, just two words, Beirong.

In recent years, Beijon has often invaded the country's border areas, but they often do not fight on a large scale, but in small groups and random operations. It just made everyone in the court want to fight, and they didn't know where to fight.

But even if they attack in large groups, the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court are often unable to defeat them.

The reason is very simple, the Beirong people are few, the materials are scarce, and they have no way to produce food and other items by themselves, so the Beirong people will basically be driven out from an early age to grab what can be used for their survival, and they have been brave and good at fighting since they were young.

And the Beirong people can't be beaten away. Because they really have no other way to continue to survive than robbing, they are desperate to fight.

Because Wei Xiyue had been at the border with her father, she was very familiar with and understood all of them.

Frankly speaking, the emperor came up with this topic as if it was specially written for her, and it took her half an hour to write the entire essay in about 800 words.

In contrast, Lin Shanshan and Wei Feiyue scratched their ears and cheeks there, and they didn't even write two hundred words, which had a strong contrast with Wei Xiyue.

However, in the end, Wei Feiyue and Lin Shanshan's strategy was written. Three policy essays were also submitted.

The emperor had long paid attention to the performance of the three of them, so he didn't look at Wei Feiyue and Lin Shanshan first, and directly watched Wei Xiyue's strategy.

I didn't say anything for a long time.

It's not for other reasons, but the emperor has read this strategy three times from beginning to end, if it weren't for Wei Xiyue sitting in front of him and the civil and military officials, the emperor would have thought that Wei Xiyue had copied the article of a talented man.

"Well, that's great! Based on this article alone, Wei Xiyue's daughter should be the leader! The Emperor clapped his hands and laughed.

Wei Feiyue and Lin Shanshan's faces were not good-looking all of a sudden, because they also noticed that the emperor didn't even look at their articles, and just after reading Wei Xiyue, he said it, like this.

The faces were ugly, of course, not only Wei Feiyue and Lin Shanshan, but also someone soon stood up and raised objections.

"You haven't read the articles of the other two people of the emperor, how can you say such a thing?"

If the emperor heard such remarks in normal times, he would definitely be angry, but after he read this good article written by Wei Xiyue, he rarely did not get angry, but passed the article on, and the first person to get the article was Gu Taifu. Hua Heng College

"I don't need to read the other two articles. If you really have doubts, you might as well read all three articles. The Emperor said.

I have to say that the article Wei Xiyue wrote this time is indeed a pearl of words. Not a word, not a lot. Moreover, she not only mentioned the war with Beirong, but also actually mentioned the current situation of the country and the current situation of Beirong, and put forward a different point of view from others from the aspect of stability between the two countries.

To be honest, even Mrs. Gu couldn't think that he could write such a strategy.

But there is really nothing wrong with what Wei Xiyue wrote, but because of her new approach, it is particularly brilliant.

"It's a really good piece of policy." Mrs. Gu said, "Even the old man can't write such a thing." ”

That person had already read all three articles, and he was still not convinced. "Mrs. Gu, you are inevitably biased when you speak like this. In the other two women's strategies, they also really mentioned how to govern Beirong and repel Beirong's plan, but Wei Xiyue's strategy also said that they would have friendly relations with Beirong. What a false empty word! Beirong is an old enemy of our dynasty, where did the friendly diplomatic relations come from? ”

"Where is there no friendly diplomatic relations?" The emperor suddenly spoke, and the person had a reasonable appearance, but he was trembling with fright by the emperor's suppressed tone.

"Princess Yongping, the younger sister of Emperor Huizhi, once made peace with Beirong and kept the peace of our dynasty for more than ten years. General Xu Ye of the previous dynasty fought against Beirong in the first half of his life, but in the second half of his life, he was able to make Beirong and the former dynasty live in harmony, where is there no friendship? Mrs. Gu suddenly said sharply.

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight, this is the upper class. Wei Xiyue's article not only mentions how to bend people's halberds, but also mentions how to turn hostility into jade silk, isn't this a good strategy article? I also read the other two policy theories, although they have their own truths, but they are mainly written about how to balance Beirong, which is too vague and cliché. Tell me who will be the leader? Can you? ”

The man lost his confidence all of a sudden, "I ......"

"Well, no more. I don't want my subordinates to be officials who just talk and eat. The emperor's words tore the official's last face. The official flushed, but could no longer speak.

In the end, Wei Xiyue also lived up to expectations and won the top spot.

Of course, Wei Feiyue and Lin Shanshan also received a lot of rewards.

"Okay, now you can tell me, what do you want?" The emperor looked at the new leader, Wei Xiyue, and asked very kindly.

"Your Majesty, the folk girl wants the folk girl's close friend Gu Xue'er to be able to do her own marriage, and she will not be bothered by the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, and the folk girl hopes that she can be happy." Wei Xiyue said so, knelt down very respectfully, and bowed to the emperor.

The smile on the emperor's face froze.

"Wei Xiyue, are you sure you want this reward? One of my promises, you don't think about your own lifelong happiness, but want to fulfill others? This is a rhetorical question from the emperor, and it is also a hint that the emperor is expressing his wish for Concubine Wei to change his wishes.

And Wei Xiyue was like she couldn't understand the emperor's hints at all. "The happiness of the people's daughter, the people's daughter thinks she has the ability to fight for it. Gu Xue'er is the best friend of the people's daughter, and the people's daughter only hopes that she can live her life in peace and stability like this. ”

The Emperor did not speak for a long time.

The two of them were at a stalemate for a cup of tea. Wei Xiyue's stunned appearance made the emperor even want to break the contract on the spot, but he is the emperor's word, and there is no reason to regret what he promised.

"Well, since you are so determined, then I promise you. Spread the holy decree, from now on, Gu Xueer's marriage will be decided by herself, and no one will be allowed to interfere. The emperor was helpless, and he gritted his teeth a little.

Of course, this kind of gnashing of teeth, he did not let others hear.

"Your Majesty." Wei Xiyue kowtowed heavily to the emperor.

When it was all over, the Emperor returned to the Imperial Study, but suddenly felt a hint of something wrong.

Today's Wei Xiyue's policy article is indeed well written, but why did Mrs. Gu help Wei Xiyue like that?

And Wei Xiyue won the top spot, but her wish was that she wanted Gu Taifu's daughter to be happy.

Could it be that they colluded?

This was the emperor's first reaction.

And after coming to this conclusion, he directly summoned Mrs. Gu and asked him about this matter openly and secretly.

How could Mrs. Gu not know what the emperor was thinking in his heart, and immediately staged a bitter drama.

"The emperor's brother and the old minister are loyal to you, after decades of saddle before and after the horse, Tranquility still can't understand the heart of the old minister, the old minister is really ...... In this case, the minister asked to return home! Mrs. Gu said.

The emperor didn't try to find out anything, and it was impossible for Gu Taifu to really give his respects, so he let him leave after appeasing Gu Taifu for a few words.

And the emperor himself was depressed.

The woman she liked couldn't move, and she was put on a table and made a holy decree in public.

As soon as he thought of this, the emperor thought of what Concubine Yao had planned before. For a while, all the anger was transferred to Yao Guifei, and when she arrived at Yao Guifei, she lost her temper in the palace.
