Chapter 280: Gaiden
As a last resort, Shangguan had to make a secret edict. At the royal banquet a month ago, he confided in front of many royal relatives and nobles under the pretense of being drunk: "In this world, there may only be one bloodline, Yongning." "I remember that two cousins overturned the wine utensils and dishes in the hall and left the table in anger. The other clan ministers all had pensive expressions on their faces. The old Xiangguo was even more heavy and silent. Then he said: "This martial arts, the widow should carefully choose the son-in-law of Chenglong for me, the emperor." The faces of those clan ministers suddenly became preoccupied and ecstatic.
"Hmph...... Give you some carrots as bait, and see that you still don't honestly carry me and my country to continue running. Emperor Ming sneered and threw the papers of the literary examination in his hand on the imperial case.
"Your Majesty, you can see if these rankings are acceptable." Wu Wenhui knelt in front of him and asked carefully.
"Let's do what Aiqing discussed." Shangguan replied lazily.
"Then Weichen is going to post a list outside the noon gate." The nervous stone in his heart fell to the ground, and the whole set of rhetoric that he had thought of was useless, but he didn't expect the emperor to approve his recital without even looking at the scrolls. Wu Wenhui wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to turn around and leave, when he heard the emperor say coldly behind him: "Who is the first person in this year's literary exam?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this subordinate doesn't know, that person's scroll is in Lord Xiangguo, and he can't handle it accurately. But this second is the son of Ma Daren of Dingguo Company. Wu Wenhui turned around again and bowed back.
"Oh, go ahead." Shangguan Qian waved his hand and said lazily.

Beijing, Liaowangfu, South Study.
In the middle of today's study, a huge and delicate sand table was placed, and Qi Feng and the monks were silently deducing the battle formation with their brows furrowed.
"How long does the prince plan to want me to stay here?" The bhikshu planted a small blue flag on the small city in the northern captivity.
"No, your position is not here, I don't plan to defend here, I want to put the main force of the Liao army here." Qi Feng slowly pulled out the small blue flag and replaced it with a small black king flag. "I want you to take a legion, huh...... I'll give you another artillery diagram, here. Qi Feng replanted the little blue flag on the east side of Dingdong Pass.
The monk propped his hands on the sand table, watched Qi Feng change his formation, and wondered, "Why don't you plan to solve the east side first?" It's impossible for a strengthened legion to stop Goryeo's attack? ”
"No, of course, the first thing to solve is Goryeo, but I want to defeat the advance corps of Beijin first, and I want him to not be able to launch any military operations of any scale within 1 year. As for this Gao Li, who doesn't know how many catties and taels he has, let him eat some sweetness first. Give me a month, and I can wave my army eastward without any worries, swallowing these three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, and sweeping away the world of his Li family. "Qi Feng pulled out the small yellow flag with red edges on the summer city of the capital city of Goryeo." Remember, your duty is to hinder and delay the Goryeo army's attack, to preserve the strength of the legion to the maximum, and it doesn't matter if you give up some strongholds, this is your free time to move around. Qi Feng took the wooden fingerstick and drew a circle in the east direction.
"Well, I'll wait here until your army returns." The bhikkhu's brow furrowed.
"Well, there's still news from home." Qi Feng threw away the wooden stick and sat on the chair, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip and asked.
"Yesterday, the old housekeeper Feige sent a message saying that Mokehua, a big businessman in Liaodong, had purchased twenty truckloads of Fushou paste and had shipped it out of Beiguan." The monk also sat down leisurely.
"Huh...... The more he buys, the better. Qi Feng smirked.

Wangfu North Garden.
"This person is really, we all sent Xiao Qi away for him, what are these two doing? It's not out yet, it's really urgent. Cheng Cheng held his cheeks with his hands and sat on the stone bench in the North Garden, grumbling dissatisfiedly.
"Look at you, you've had this temper since you were a child." The princess took a leisurely sip of tea. Xiao Cui asked Li Mu to pick a bunch of grapes from the vine and put them on the stone table.
"Look, they're coming." Xiaocui said.
"The royal sister has kept you waiting for a long time." Qi Feng and the monks walked in from outside the courtyard gate with a smile.
"Your Highness, I've worked hard." The monk walked over to the stone table and bowed to the princess.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's idle to be idle, it's also quite fun to send Yu'er on the boat home, and it's fun for the little guy to nag along the way." The princess laughed.
"That, we just saw a big foreign ship at the river pier just entered the port, saying that there are a lot of strange things on the ship, my sister and I picked a lot, but I don't know the fun and don't know the nobility, don't you have a lot of research on extraterritorial things, then accompany us to have a look." Cheng Cheng looked at the two of them with a wicked smile.
"Oh, I'm not going, I'm going to wait at home for the results of the exam." The monk said.
"Huh...... Uncle Bi, just now after passing through the noon gate, the emperor list has been posted, and the earl has entered the top ten and the sixth place. The princess covered her mouth and smiled.
"Okay, Xiaoqiu, if you don't give gifts or invite guests, you can take a sixth place with your own ability, which is amazing." Qi Feng sighed. "Can the royal sister see me?"
"You? Didn't see it. Cheng Cheng shook his mouth and smiled.
"Alas......" Qi Feng sighed.
"Huh...... Don't listen to her nonsense, my cousin is the first in the literary exam, this is ordered by the teacher himself, but it is not written on this list. My cousin is also on the list of martial arts selections. The princess laughed.
"Little villain." Qi Feng squeezed his nose at Cheng Cheng and grimaced.
"Yay......" Cheng Cheng also spat out his tongue at him mischievously. I have good news for you, so you have to accompany us to the big ship today. ”
"Huh...... Definitely, definitely, definitely. Qi Feng smiled happily, "I just haven't passed this test, Miss Lin wants me to accompany me, and I must accompany me." Chief of the guard, go and prepare the car immediately. ”
Outside the gate of the palace, watching Qi Feng diligently help the three beauties get into the car, the monk stood on the steps of the door, and said to Qi Feng: "Don't make trouble on that dock today, this is not our big Liaozhou, it's very troublesome." ”
"Xiaoqiu, you mean that in Da Liaozhou, this guy can do whatever he wants, right?" The car stretched out his head dissatisfiedly and said. The bhikkhu who said it all at once didn't know how to refute it, and he was stunned all of a sudden. It wasn't until the carriage started that he said to himself faintly: "It's really hard to deal with this girl when she marries the palace in the future." ”
Upper River Pier
"Little grandfather, you see this thing will turn the fan by itself." An entourage of Sima Qiangren's side picked up a Western clockwork fan from a Western shop and said to him flatteringly.
"It's just a thing of kinky skill." Sima Qiangren ignored him and continued to wander through the crowded shops on the dock. Suddenly, he stopped in front of a Western stall, and the oil paintings on the stall made his eyes freeze there for a long time.
