On this day, Tan Yin and Zhang Xiu went to the Qingsong School together, the school faces the big lake, although it is not as carved and painted as the official school, but it is also graceful and exquisite, and the scenery is unique.

As soon as I walked into the school, I heard the sound of people inside. "Now I finally raise the prestige of the country, and the border can be peaceful for a while." Zhang Ziqing said excitedly.

"Well, this is the most beautiful battle we have fought in the past ten years, and we finally have a general like Wei Qinghuo Quai!" Wang Qiang of the academy said.

"Yes, in the past, we used to pay tribute to the United States every year, which is really a loss of power and humiliation to the country, and now these barbarians dare not easily invade us."

"God bless Dazhao." Many students around echoed it.

"We can't take it lightly, this time the Great Xia infighting, it is their second prince who leads the troops, although this person is scheming and good at using soldiers, but compared to the four princes of Great Xia, Wen Taowu is slightly worse, if it is the fourth prince who leads the troops, I don't know who killed the deer, but it is also my great luck to be able to produce a handsome talent like Yang Che." Li Zhengdao.

"What you said is that it's too early for us to celebrate." The people and the Word.

"That Yang Che didn't expect to have such a ability, but he misunderstood him before." There is humanity.

"Yes, he can still win so beautifully after taking over the Li family's mess, it's not that he leads his troops to fight from beginning to end, where is that kind of person?"

"The emperor has already named him the Marquis of Zhenbei, what a step to the sky."

"Now the prince's position is unshakable"

"You don't understand this, who can shake the status of the prince? His Majesty's exclusive favor of the concubine is known to the world, and His Majesty is sick, and the crown prince has been in charge of the country for several years. “

"The prince really knows how to make good use of people."

"I heard that the prince and Yang Che are ......," a student named Zhao Wu said with an ambiguous look.

"Zhao Wu, don't talk nonsense." Li Zheng stopped.

"What is it?" Zhang Xiu walked in and asked, and Tan Yin followed.

"Ahh Li Zheng saw Tan Yin and the others walking in, but before he could react, he came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Oh, it's a very good monarch." ”

"I don't believe it, it's the monarch and the ministers who speak like that, and your expression is ambiguous, and I know if you don't say it." Ah Xiu snorted and replied.

"You girl listens to some nonsense all day long, don't bring Ayin badly." Li Zheng looked at it with a smile.

"Do you think Ayin doesn't know?"

Tan Yin was embarrassed to see that the two of them were talking to herself.

"Ah Xiu, although you don't look like a lady, you are much taller than the little jasper, how can you talk like a rough girl." Wang Qiang teased.

"I'm like this, it's not easy to find a gentle girl, stop me on the street, ninety-nine out of a hundred are like this, and I'm not afraid of getting tired of you." Zhang Xiu wrinkled his nose and mouth, and said disgustedly.

"Look at this mouth, I can't talk about you, Ziqing, you don't care about your sister." Zhao Wu was disgusted, his weak heart was hurt, and he wanted to move the rescuers.

"My brother won't listen to you, Zhao Wu, don't you just want to be proud of the spring breeze and explore all the Chang'an flowers in one day! Another wife, several beautiful concubines, many children and grandchildren, I don't know about you. ”

"Yo, my Miss Zhang, is this just my dream!" Zhao Wu looked at Ah Xiu with disdain, raised his eyebrows, and retorted.

"Vulgar, but also pretentious."

"Okay, Ah Xiu, don't make fun of Zhao Wu and them, we're talking about business." Zhang Ziqing said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, if we keep talking, our Miss Zhang is going to be angry." Everyone laughed.

Tan Yin and Zhang Xiu are very familiar with everyone, and there are often such things as grinding their mouths, so naturally they don't take their ridicule to heart.

The battle I just heard everyone talk about was a recent fierce battle with Great Xia in Northern Xinjiang. Dazhao has a fertile land that stretches for thousands of miles, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, there are many talents, and the life is rich, but it also breeds countless officials who sing and dance in West Lake every day, they are unwilling to fight, and always say that the common people suffer hardships when they fight.

Even if the common people are not willing to fight, they have to pay so much tribute and silver every year, and the tax burden is not light, and the border people in northern Xinjiang are often harassed and robbed, and women are often raped and abducted, and the border people have been suffering for a long time.

The war continued, and some local songs spread to the mainland: "Death of my Qilian Mountain, so that my women have no color, the death of my Yellow River, so that my children have no color." It has aroused great indignation among the people.

Both the people and the military attachés wanted to fight, but the first few wars were lost, and Daxia intensified his efforts to ask for silver and two beauties. This victory is naturally to encourage the Zhao up and down, everyone compares Yang Che to Wei Qinghuo to the reincarnation of illness, the emperor is also overjoyed, and the official is knighted, this person has a very beautiful face, known as Yulang. In this way, this Yang Che has mastered one-third of the strength of Dazhao, and naturally he is in power, and no one can compare with him for a while.

Tan Yin thought of this and thought it was very funny, these people used to think that Yang Che was serving the lord with extreme contempt, but now they held him up to the sky again, and couldn't help but shake their heads.

Speaking of which, this Yang Che is also very legendary. He is the son of the third son of the head of the household in the capital, his mother was originally an official eunuch lady, because of the family's crime in the Qinglou, was ransomed by Yang Che's father, and was later hated by the big house, and found a person to frame him for not being his own child, and his mother stole people.

When they were six years old, they were kicked out of their homes and left to live on the streets, where they had to beg for a living, and their mother was forced to return to their old jobs to support them.

Mother even spared no expense to beg one of her benefactors to let Yang Che apprentice to the great Confucian Fangcheng, who was better than the blue and had little reputation.

When he was fifteen years old, he went back to see his mother, and he took the borrowed silver taels with him to redeem her. However, the most amazing thing about Yang Che at that time was not his talent, but his appearance.

He met the prince of Xiangyang in a brothel, and the prince was shocked and wanted to rob him back, but his mother died in order to protect him.

Yang Che's temperament changed greatly after escaping, and by chance, he became acquainted with the prince of the East Palace, and was deeply trusted by the prince, and then he studied under the general Lin Qingcheng, first becoming the deputy governor of Jiumen, and then worshipping the general.

I heard that he loves to wear red clothes, his face is peerless, his demeanor is elegant, but it is extremely gloomy, and the city is very deep and difficult to understand.

The folk rumored that he had a relationship with the prince, he often stayed in the Qinglou, debauched, and people at the time despised him, but they sympathized with his experience and admired his demeanor. After this great victory, this person's prestige is certainly not the same.

"Oh? What's the matter, it's so hilarious. Tan Yin asked.

"You don't know, this time General Yang won a big victory, and the saint was overjoyed, and decided to select talented people across the country, in order to be able to govern the country with literature and establish the country with martial arts, regardless of background, regardless of family, only on talent."

"Originally, the Beijing exam was held once every three years, and it happened to be held in the spring of next year, but the prince of the East Palace wrote the book to the Holy Dao, and since ancient times, the world's talents have been versatile and eclectic, and the examination failed to select all the talents that Dazhao needs."

"The Holy Lord was very appreciative, and decided that the prince would be in charge, and convened six capable departments to form a talent selection group to select the world's talents, known as talent selection. As long as there are two officials above the fourth grade who are sponsored, they can be eligible to participate in the selection, and after two rounds of screening, the prince will personally select them, and finally the saint will decide. Wang Qiang said excitedly.

"yes, that's one more chance." Liu Ziang in the academy also smiled.

"And this time, not only the selection of texts, but also the selection of generals, such as engineering, skills and other aspects of talent can be selected."

"The Holy One is really a wise lord, and the prince is really far-sighted."

"It's a great time for us to shine. Ru Cheng, Ziqing, what do you see? Zhao Wu asked.

"Well, we must not miss this God-given opportunity, we must not be sloppy in the township test in May this year and the Beijing test in spring next year." Zhang Ziqing said.

"If you can pass the township test, even if you can't pass the high school test in Beijing next spring, you will have to visit all the adults in the capital. It is expected that in this way, this winter and next spring, all the talented people will gather in the capital, and there will be a lot of gatherings, even if we can't go to high school, or if we can't get sponsorship, we can't miss the opportunity to learn from the world's talented people and seek common governance. Li Zheng said solemnly.

"What Ru Cheng said is extremely true, we all need to prepare well." Ziqing replied.

Tan Yin listened to what the crowd said, and it seemed that time was very tight. This prince of the East Palace is really good at buying people's hearts, this trick can buy all the world's scholars and martial artists, and recruit a lot of talents for the imperial court, and even cultivate a lot of cronies for himself, which is really a few birds with one stone.

For most people in the academy, it is a great fortune to be able to pass the examination, but Li Zheng, Zhang Ziqing and several others are going straight to the Beijing examination.

"When are you leaving?" Tan Yin asked.

"I have to go to Jinling this month to prepare for the township test, and there are still many things to do! When are you leaving for Hangzhou? Li Zheng said.

"When my father arranges the things at hand, I will leave this month."

"Ouch, Li Zheng, you have to grasp it, there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, the stories of this Hangzhou literati and ink writer, talented and beautiful women are too numerous to mention, Xu Xian White Snake, Su Xiaoxiao. Our Miss Tan is so beautiful and moving, there are several stories when you walk around this West Lake. Oh, I'm so worried! Zhao Wu squeezed his eyes and joked at Li Zheng and Tan Yin.

Tan Yin's face turned red again, and Li Zheng was not very comfortable.

"Zhao Wu, you don't have to worry about this. No matter how many talented and beautiful people there are in Hangzhou, they can't compare to the wind on the Qinhuai River in Jinling, so you better take care of yourself. Ah Xiu sneered.

"Haha, Zhao Wu, that's all you have to say. Ah Xiu, if you pretend to Zhao Wu a little, let alone take a concubine, even if you go to the Qinhuai River for a walk, he won't dare. Liu Ziang said with a smile.

Everyone laughed. Zhao Wu has always had a little thought about Ah Xiu, but Ah Xiu didn't have any thoughts about him, Zhao Wu knew in his heart, but he refused to let him go, and when he saw Ah Xiu, he always had to mix a few words, and everyone was happy when they saw this.

Zhang Xiu and Tan Yin didn't want to disturb their discussion anymore, so they got up and left.
