Jiaping two years.

Before the snow cleared, the number of students in Kyoto was increasing.

This year, the imperial court opened Enke in order to select more officials.

Talent promotion, this is one of the most important things after Zhao Fan ascended the throne.

When he seized the throne from Zhao Li, it was almost the end of the year, and even if he had the heart, he couldn't open Enke in two or three months, not only because it was too late for the court, but also because the candidates, especially those who were more remote, could not rush to the capital at all.

Therefore, it had to be postponed for a year.

This year's main examination was set for Mrs. Xu, and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites was the deputy, and seeing that the examination date was approaching, the exam questions were naturally set.

"Everyone is guessing outside," Huang Yi sat in the imperial study, biting the kidney bean cake while saying to Zhao Fan, "The old lady is the main exam, and there have been five or six times before, according to his usual habit of asking questions, guessing the direction of this year's strategy." ”

On the side, Gonggong Gan saw that he was eating deliciously, so he withdrew lightly and asked people to prepare another plate.

Huang Yi saw it in his eyes, didn't say anything, didn't stop talking, and still ate him.

From good brothers who eat and drink together, to saying goodbye to monarchs and ministers, Huang Yi has thought a lot about "how to get along with Zhao Fan".

There is nothing wrong with abiding by the rules and looking at each other, but it is very boring.

Zhao Fan's path to the throne is quite different.

And before he succeeded, his experience was not as good as that of ordinary noble children.

Brother of other families, not to mention how much he hugged each other, there are also many friends and playmates of the same age, even if they are superficial brothers, they can also listen to the lively sound.

Zhao Fan didn't.

After he didn't become a little overlord in the capital, he practiced martial arts and studied behind closed doors, and when he came out again, where are there a few good brothers?

Huang Yi and Zhao Fan are familiar with each other, firstly, they had a good relationship when they were young, and secondly, they were also stained with the light of the same imperial guard.

When Zhao Fan went to the Red Guards as a commander, he "intrigued" with a group of officials all day long, so that everyone who was afraid of annoyance walked around him, and in the end, Huang Yi was the only one who could be called a friend.

Of course, it is said that the emperor is "lonely", and the height is unbearable, but Huang Yi feels that he is really lonely, and he doesn't even have a friend who can sit down and drink, so his life is a lot less enjoyable.

So, after thinking about it, Huang Yi still chose to stand in the position of "friend".

Their Huang family, the burden of fighting in the court, could not fall on his head; If he wants to go on the expedition, he also wants to be a soldier under command, and has little interest in commanding others.

is so "ambitious", and getting along with the emperor is more comfortable.

Zhao Fanzheng is approving excerpts.

Hearing this, he glanced at Huang Yi.

I have to say that today's state is similar to that of previous years.

At that time, he was looking through the case file in Chiyiwei, and Huang Yi was free to sit for a while, and a few casual conversations did not affect the matter.

"Where are you guessing?" He asked.

"Guess it's not much that has changed," Huang Yi said, "but there are also new theories."

With the old lady's energy, this should be his last main exam, and he may not seek change.

Moreover, this is the first time since the new emperor ascended the throne, and you may be more likely to refer to your ideas in the selection of topics.

And you, apparently, are not conformists. ”

Zhao Fan laughed out loud, noncommittal.

Huang Yi said this, not to ask for an answer.

There are rules for the imperial examination, and even his grandfather's identity will not ask Mrs. Xu about it, just guess it yourself at home, and play haha when he goes out.

However, Huang Taishi is Huang Taishi after all, and in his position, he can see Zhao Fan and Xu Taifu's thoughts more clearly.

Huang Yi talked about Enke for a while, and then talked about the situation at the border gate.

Last year, Mao Gu'an was not idle at all.

After the end of the typhoon season, he continued to put pressure on Xiliang, making the already disheartened Xiliang royal court more and more chaotic and turbulent.

"When the wind and sand are a little less this year, it's time to continue westward, right?" Huang Yi said, "Should I ask Ying to go to Xiliang or go to the south to guard against Nanshu?" ”

Zhao Fan gave an answer to this question: "The southern border may not be able to fight." ”

Nanshu wanted to move several times, but was suppressed.

After one blow, they didn't succeed, and then they declined, and then they were exhausted, so that their hesitant wall grass temper came out, and they were more stalemate than Da Zhou.

"Sooner or later, we'll have to beat them." Huang Yi muttered.

Zhao Fan smiled.

Indeed it is.

Sooner or later, it will have to be fought.

This is not only clear to him, but also clear to Sangong.

It is also for this reason that after discussing with him, Mrs. Xu decided that the direction was biased towards the development of the border city.

There was no shortage of capable officials and scholars in the Great Zhou, and before Empress Cheng, who abolished the emperor, returned to the Cheng family, she also discussed the talent issue with Zhao Fan.

She said it very bluntly.

She came to Zhao Fan's aid in the struggle for the throne, in addition to opposing Zhao Li's continued reign as emperor, the bigger reason was that she wanted the children of the Cheng family to participate more in the officialdom.

Zhao Fan heard about the rules of the Cheng family, and he also came into contact with several children, many of whom could carry the beams.

They just lack opportunities.

Zhao Fan is very willing to give them a chance.

It's just that whether it is the children of the Cheng family or other officials, they also have "weaknesses".

They were all born and grew up in the Great Zhou, and the border cities represented by Xizhou City were not under the rule of the Great Zhou for a long time, and they had a very prominent local atmosphere.

Just sending the native officials of the Great Zhou to govern, they will have to spend a lot of effort just to understand this land and these people.

Zhao Fan prefers to involve more officials who know the local situation in governance.

Xizhou City, and even the Xiliang Royal Court in the future, and even the Nanshu area, need more people to cooperate with the development.

The integration and development of the border cities and the state capitals that have been under the rule for many years have their own ideas.

And this idea is what he and Mrs. Xu hope the candidates will reflect in the article.

The two casually said something, and Huang Yi got up to say goodbye.

The excerpt was approved until the evening, and Zhao Fan went to Yanqing Palace.

In Yanqing Palace, there was also a lot of laughter.

Qin Luan talked to Fang Yu and smiled.

Fang Yu had another illness two months ago, and it was that time that she "realized" that time.

The son has grown up, and Zhao Lin is no longer there.

Her mistime, smooth.

For Fang Yu, it was a very painful thing to accept Zhao Lin's early death, even if she had accepted it back then, but she forgot about it later, so much so that she had to do it again more than 20 years later.

Fortunately, this time, Zhao Fan and Qin Luan were by her side.

What has already happened cannot be changed.

She had to take it.

And now the result is a great consolation.

Even though she still doesn't remember what happened before and after her disappearance, she slowly came out of her grief and loss.

Zhao Fan entered, and when the first few people inside heard the sound, they all turned their heads.

Greeting each other, Zhao Fan's gaze fell on Qin Luan's body, blinked, and smiled.
