Chapter 44: The Abolition of the Prince, He Just Won't Fall 25

Once they confirmed that the Xuan Dynasty was weak, then they would unite more closely, and that was when it was time for a major attack.

It doesn't look like this time is too far away.

Maybe next time it will really attack the city, Jiang Xun sighed in his heart that there are not many resources in the city, and the arrows consumed are even greater.

Sure enough, three days later, the combined barbarians appeared outside the city, and Jiang Xun became even more worried when he looked at the siege equipment.

The scattered barbarians united, and depending on the situation, they were afraid that a leader had been born, so that it would not be just a siege.

I'm afraid that the ambition is even greater.

However, what Jiang Xun is more worried about is the grain and grass, and they will face a shortage of food after today.

"Hold on!"

Jiang Xun commanded the battle, and could only defend the city and wait for reinforcements, and did not dare to open the city gate to go out to fight.

"Don't let them come close!"

There was a scream from the falling rocks, but the enemy continued, and if they continued like this, sooner or later they would be allowed to go up the walls.

This kind of siege method is much more sophisticated than the previous barbarians.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Jiang Xun didn't care about worrying about the arrows, and he must not let the enemy army get close to the city gate, otherwise this battle would be even more difficult.

"General, General! Reinforcements have arrived! ”

The soldiers who reported the news ran up to the city tower, and Jiang Xun turned around when he heard this, "Which city came to support, how many people?"

"General, yes, it's the capital! His Majesty ordered reinforcements to the border passes, and General Cheng Wu was already outside the city with an army of 100,000! ”

The soldiers could not hide their excitement and surprise, and the black iron cavalry gave them hope.

"Really?"

"My subordinates saw it with their own eyes."

"What about people?"

Jiang Xun couldn't help but ask with joy.

"General Cheng Wu has already taken the iron cavalry around the rear."

Just as the soldier spoke, Jiang Xun had already seen the army on the castle tower.

Cheng Wu led the army directly around the rear and surrounded the enemy troops besieging the city.

Jiang Xun looked at the reinforcements and his heart was lifted.

"Open the gates, kill!"

The morale of the army was greatly boosted, and as soon as the city gate was opened, the army in the city marched towards the barbarians besieging the city.

"Withdraw!"

"We are surrounded!"

Shan Yulie listened to the sound of fighting in his ears and clenched the scimitar in his hand.

The army of the Xuan Dynasty came quietly, how could the Xuan Dynasty send troops to support it early?

Could it be that there is a traitor among them who has leaked the news?

Shan Yulie's first reaction was to break through with the army.

The barbarian cavalry is fierce, but Cheng Wu is not weak.

As soon as Qi Yuan took office, he guarded the border passes, recruited and trained the army, prepared grain and grass, and bothered to deploy and increase the number of troops.

If this can't be defeated, Cheng Wu has been in vain in the army all these years.

If you want to kill Shan Yu Lie by surprise, the encirclement will be narrowed, and the troops will not give them a chance to break through at all.

When they left Beijing, Qi Yuan gave an order, and their trip was to fight fear and disperse this united barbarian.

The two armies fought, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

It wasn't until the sunset dyed half the sky red that the curtain came down on the battle, and the halberd outside the city sank into the sand, and Cheng Wu's armor was covered with the blood of the enemy.

First battle, great victory!

And Shan Yulie's death and the toughness of the Xuan Dynasty made the alliance of various ministries, which had already hesitated, weaker and weaker.

The barbarians did not dare to attack, but the army of the Xuan Dynasty did not stop there.

These barbarians harassed the border passes and came to loot every winter, and they had long become a thorn in the side of the Xuan Dynasty.

Now that the border is unstable, if they don't fight in one fell swoop, how can they fight for the opportunity to cultivate for the Xuan Dynasty?

Quick!

Qi Yuan armed the army with almost the strength of the whole country, and the grain and grass were even closer to the border passes, and it was not just the result of defending the city.

The barbarian alliance is the weakest, and now it is even more inflicted, and it is time to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

When the report of the first victory was returned to Beijing, Cheng Wu had already stabilized the border pass with the border guards and brewed a counterattack.

The border pass was a great victory, and the Cheng family, who was originally the prince of the country, became a sweet and sweet because of Cheng Wu, who led the army.

Powerful and powerful, the saints are strong.

For a while, many people were red-eyed.

The border passes were stable, the war was smooth, and when the spring breeze blew by, the first imperial examination for the new emperor to succeed to the throne also began the Ministry of Rites test.

Qi Yuan has to be busy with the affairs of the border on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to pay attention to the imperial examination and this year's spring sowing.

All the departments in the court are very busy, and there are more and more things to do, and they feel more and more lacking in manpower.

I am also looking forward to the selection of a group of talents in this imperial examination.

The generals cared about the border passes, and the Wenchen was even busier, and for a time there was a rare harmony in the court.

I have to say that there is no such a bad official as Lin Xiang, who is indeed much more comfortable.

Soon, with the entry of the children into Beijing, the spring festival that the ministries were looking forward to began.

This time, there were a large number of people participating in the spring, and the eyes of the capital were all set on the examination room at the beginning of the spring.

Soon after the Ministry of Rites Examination, there is the Imperial Examination.

Wang Huairen sat in the examination room, looking at the Golden Palace, and felt a little trance in his heart.

Qi Yuan entered the hall and met Wang Huairen's eyes.

Acquaintances......

Qi Yuan glanced at it and then retracted his gaze, there are many people like Wang Huairen.

There are noble families, there are also poor families, and there are disciples of Confucianism.

It can be said that Emperor Xuan's purge and Qi Yuan's actions after succeeding to the throne made these people see an opportunity to show their ambitions.

Just ask the people who read the world, how many don't want to leave a name in history?

The palace exam began, and when he saw the exam questions, all the doubts in Wang Huairen's heart were swept away.

The border was a great victory, and many people thought that the exam questions were nothing more than war and current affairs. And Wang Huairen thought that the most likely thing was people's livelihood.

But there are only two words on the test question, which are vigorous and domineering, as an official.

The font is domineering and sharp, just like today's Qi Yuan's ambitions.

The simple word "official" has a different understanding for everyone, Wang Huairen looked at the two words, and the corners of his mouth rose.

Today's Qi Yuan is different from when they met in the south, just like Puyu has been completely polished and revealed.

The great victory and power of the border pass did not let the new emperor get lost, and he was ambitious and benevolent and far-sighted.

Only then did Wang Huairen understand why his father must have let him enter the office, which is promising.

Wang Huairen put down his doubts in his heart, so he picked up the pen and dropped it on the rice paper.

Those who are officials, and the parents of the people are also.

What is an official and what is a good official?

For Wang Huairen, who experienced the purge of the Xuan Dynasty, he has a deep understanding.

Wang Huairen wrote with great spirit and analyzed the deficiencies in the assessment of officials in the Xuan Dynasty.

Everyone in the hall was also stunned for a while, and then their expressions were relaxed.

When the palace examination was over, Qi Yuan looked at the answer sheets in front of him and felt satisfied.

These two words are the easiest and the most difficult.

Dividing these answer sheets into two parts, Qi Yuan looked at Wang Huairen's papers and nodded.

Wang Yunyi's tempering is still very useful.

Zhu pen fell and turned his head to pick up another copy, which was densely written with his views on household taxation.

Military, people's livelihood, water conservancy projects, it can be said that these answers have their own opinions, and some even give plans.

Qi Yuan's red pen fell next to Zhao Shiyuan's name.

There are a lot of talents, and those people in the next six departments will say that there are not enough people, so they will be beaten out one by one.
