When Xia Zhi'an was glad that Xia Ye had escaped, he heard Dali Siqing say:

"Your Majesty, I heard that the fourth place is Xia Ye, the son of Xia Governor, the son of Xia Governor is not only excellent in literature, but also brilliant in wisdom, I want if Xia Ye Gongzi goes, he will definitely win."

Xia Zhi'an looked up and saw the short and cunning face of Dali Siqing, he didn't know when he offended this person and let him go against him everywhere, he was really a treacherous villain.

Hearing this, Xia Zhi'an had to get up and walk to the front, and bowed to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, the son of the son of the son of the emperor is quite pertinent, the emperor dare not say, after all, this scientific examination only won the fourth place, in the past he had studied in the Qingshan Academy, has been preparing for the scientific examination, and has no time to learn a one-and-a-half-style martial arts, although the brain is not acceptable, but these limbs are really a little clumsy, to go to the northwest to lead the troops to fight, the minister is afraid that he will make a mistake, but if there is really no one available, he has nothing to say if he has to go to the minister, and he will definitely follow the order"

He told the truth, Xia Ye was a stupid person, and he couldn't compare with Xia Fei.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded at him one after another, everyone here had seen Xia Ye, and when they saw that the kid was not a war material, he would have to fall first before he went to the northwest before he could go to the war, let alone lead the troops, and he would have to be scared when he saw the battlefield.

The king's privy envoy then remembered a man who came to that way:

"The emperor thinks there is another person who is suitable"

"Who?"

"Nanming General's nephew Nanming Yi, this person grew up in Nanming General's Mansion since he was a child, Nanming General did not bother him less, I heard that he invited five or six martial arts masters to teach him martial arts and the art of war, this person is not only strong in martial arts, but also courageous and strategic, although he did not participate in the scientific examination, but the minister believes that he will be able to lead thousands of armies and barbarians to compete like his uncle"

The emperor said secretly: "He also knew about this person for a long time, but a few days ago, Nanming wrote a letter to him, saying that he wanted his nephew to stay in the capital to settle down, and he didn't want him to go out to fight, the northwest was bitterly cold, not to mention hunger and cold, and he had to prepare for war all year round, if he didn't say that it was not good, he would die in Huangquan, Nanming didn't ask the emperor again in his life, he just wanted his nephew to be safe."

The emperor was soft-hearted at that time, and he thought that Nanming had been guarding the border for nearly 20 years, and he agreed to such a small request without thinking about it, and he wanted to let Nanming enter Dali Temple to practice, but he didn't expect that this decree had been drafted, so he waited for the eunuch to read it, and he went out of the northwest to be attacked by the barbarians.

The words that went out of the water, he was the king of a country, how could the things he decided be changed, and he refused in that mouthful:

"No, Nanming Yizhen is already planning to send him elsewhere, and he can't go to the northwest."

The ministers don't know why, there is such a good talent, the emperor doesn't have to refuse simply, he knows that it will not work, what the emperor said is the holy decree, who dares to say anything, it seems that the people who can be elected are the two sons of Xia Mansion.

Young Master Xia Fei of Xia Xiangye's family, at first glance, is a practitioner, not to mention the sturdy, but can still be courageous, although he usually does things without strategy, but when he goes to the battlefield, there are military advisors to give advice, he doesn't need to use his brains, he just needs to lead the troops out to fight.

And the son of the Xia Governor's family is a weak scholar at first glance, without a little heroic and warlike physique, from the appearance of the son of the Xia Xiang family, he is already weaker than the son of the Xia Xiang family, not to mention letting this son lead the troops to fight, even if he rides a horse on the side by himself, it is a question of whether this person can ride a horse, let alone shoot arrows and kill people, let this son go to the battlefield, there is no doubt that let these Wenchen take a knife to the battlefield to kill people, how can they do such a thing without that ability!

Wang Shu's envoy saw that everyone didn't speak, but he still stood up and analyzed first, and felt that the son of the Xia Xiang family would definitely be able to be qualified for this job, which was not only analyzed from his personal body, but also from the aspect of the Northwest being able to win for a long time.

As soon as the words were finished, several people agreed with each other, "This proposal is good, the son of the Xia Xiang family is stronger than the son of the Xia governor's family, and the battle needs generals, not weak scholars."

"Yes, yes, right"

The emperor saw that all the ministers spoke out one after another, but only Xia Xiang was still there and did not express his opinion, so he had to say: "Xia Xiang, do you have something to say":

Xia Xiangben was unwilling, but what could he do when the matter came to this, Xia Ye of the second family looked really not as strong as Xia Fei, and at first glance he was a weak scholar who only knew how to read, how could he compare with Xia Fei of his family, wouldn't it have to be like Xia Fei of his family to be a general?

After thinking about it, he said: "Since everyone agrees with my Fei'er, the minister has no opinion."

The emperor thought for a while and said, "It's better for Xia Xiangye to go home and discuss this matter!" Tomorrow I will wait for your news, and I will retreat."

All the ministers thought that the emperor would issue an order in the court and give the personnel, but who would have thought that it would suddenly change! also retreated from the court in such a hurry, and everyone couldn't figure it out, but they also had to obey orders.

Xia Zhi'an felt a little heavy when he saw that the emperor did not give an order, he was also selfish, and he didn't want Xia Ye to go, after all, from that point of view, his son was not suitable to fight in the northwest.

All the courtiers went out of the palace gate one after another, and the king's privy envoy pulled Xia Zhi'an and said secretly:

"If you don't want your son to go, you should get sick quickly!"

Xia Zhi'an was shocked when he heard this, what does this Lord Wang mean, it is clear in front of him that his son can't go, he said that his son is very likely to go to the northwest?

When he wanted to inquire more carefully, he saw that the adult had gone away.

Xia Zhi'an walked out of the palace gate, and saw his son Xia Ye running over from there, "Father, what's wrong with seeing that your face is not very good?" ”

Today is a confidential meeting between the DPRK and China, so these students, who have not yet held official positions, are not allowed to participate.

Xia Zhi'an looked at the eldest brother who got into his carriage in the distance, this person didn't even look at him and left first, it can be seen that he must be unwilling to let his son go to the northwest.

However, the final decision on this matter is still with the emperor, and what he does is in vain.

Thinking of this: "Let's go, let's go home"

When the father and son returned to the Xia Mansion, they drove straight into the courtyard of the second room.

Natsuba jumped out of the car first, and then went to help his father.

When the father and son entered the academy one after another, Xia Ye said:

"Father, what the hell is going on" Father didn't say a word to him since he got into the carriage.

Xia Zhi'an looked at his son, who was delicate and weak, and said, "Today, a courtier recommended your newly promoted students to fight in the northwest, how do you feel?"

Xia Ye said there: "Recommend us new students to go?" ”

"Yes, but in the end, there are only two people, you and Xia Fei, the champion Zhuang Yuan is Gui and the list eye Li Jiangmian are not suitable, so it will fall on the two of you in the end"

Xia Ye thought for a moment and said, "Is it the first of the two of us?" ”

Xia Zhi'an sighed and nodded, in fact, no matter who they choose, it would be a difficult problem for their Xia Mansion.

Xia Ye thought for a while and said, "I think the emperor meant, the king wants the ministers to go and the ministers have to go."

Xia Zhi'an nodded, he also meant the same.

The emperor is also selected based on his personal ability, and if he is not qualified for the battle in the northwest, he is just wild, so the possibility of going to the hearts of the father and son is not very large.

After that, the father and son said some innocuous words, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Because they got up early in the morning, they only ate one meal for another whole day, and they were not full in a hurry, so at this time the two were hungry and physically and mentally exhausted, but they had no appetite to eat.
