Since Emperor Yanwen Zhao Yan ascended the throne thirteen years ago, he has granted amnesty to the world, opened the yin for the government, redressed the grievances, rested with the people, and made peace with the Beidi Ximan on the left and right, and so on. The people at the border pass were able to rest for ten years, and the people in the pass were happy for a long time.

Bianliang, Hanlin Academy

It was late at night, but Zhao Yi was still drafting the ciphertext. The emperor wanted to rebuild the martial arts test and ordered Zhao Yi to draft a plan. Zhao Yi is the twelfth grandson of Emperor Yanling, simply put, the distant relatives of the current emperor, Zhao Yi's grandfather once united with other brothers to spy on the crown prince's position, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, they devalued the frontier as vassal kings, and experienced wars and several weakenings, and finally depreciated the Shuren. When the current emperor recently flipped through the ancestral genealogy, he saw such a relative. recruited into Beijing to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy, firstly, to probe whether there is a rebellious heart under the eyelids, and secondly, to check whether Zhao Yi has real talent and learning.

"It's all time, why are you still here?"

Zhao Yi saw what was in front of him and hurriedly got up, "Second uncle, why are you here?" ”

"I came to look for you, but you were not in the mansion, and I asked the eunuch to know that you were here, so I came."

"Second uncle, what are you doing?"

"I'm here to ask you how the plan for the martial arts test is drafted, the Holy Lord is not in a hurry, but you can't be lazy."

"My second uncle, how about relying on the old lesson?"

The second uncle thought about it, beckoned Zhao Yi to come over, and said in his ear. "Don't look at the current mediocrity of the government and the opposition, the actual emperor has almost lost his military power, and suddenly there are three high priests from the side of the Divine Sect, I have met a few times, and they are definitely not very human. I'm afraid it's from above. ”

"Upper? The emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can there still be ...... What? You say it's Shenyin? ”

"I didn't say it, you guessed it yourself," the second uncle said nervously, "Don't care so much, do what is in front of you, and live in the moment." Remember? ”

Zhao Yi was still pondering what the second uncle said just now, if it was really Shenyin, why was it the same edict, but the second uncle's words and intuition were not missed, was there something urgent about Shenyin's sudden nethering? It can't be that the previous tribute was secretly reduced and discovered, right? No, no... Wait, Zhao Yi suddenly thought of another sentence from the second uncle, and was just about to ask only to realize that the second uncle had already left.

The second uncle's words made Zhao Yi lose interest in working. After seeing the hour, he didn't go back to the house to rest, but "Oh, the second uncle can't make it clear, and he can't sleep in vain." ”

Getting up and pacing, I caught a glimpse of the date of the yellow calendar, which was the eve of the wax moon.

In the village of Luyuan

Harvest all the wheat to the north and make a good stack. Now that it has entered the wax moon, the weather is naturally colder, and it snowed last night, which suddenly reminded Xiangbei of the heat on the top of the mountain a few weeks ago. At that time, he was promised to go to the capital for martial arts tests, but now he is gradually losing his confidence. Xiang Linzheng finished sweeping the house, but saw Xiang Bei sitting on the threshold, thinking to himself, 'Don't you really like the girl of the Zhang family?' ’。 But he had already walked to his side

"Boy, what do you want?"

Xiangbei was still thinking about the world where the water and the sky were the same, and he was called suddenly, and he was also scared.

"Dad, did you take the martial arts exam when you were young?"

Xiang Linzheng was slightly stunned, and then asked calmly, "Do you take the martial arts exam first?" ”

"Yes, for the country and the people, it also adds glory to the ancestors."

"Okay, but I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the test."

"Father, why did you do this? I have been practicing martial arts with you since I was a child, and at the age of ten, I shook a radius of ten miles, won the first prize, and retreated from the bandits with the villagers. The art of war has long been familiar with the heart, if Beidi comes to attack, they will be asked to return home. “

"Although it is said that at this point, martial arts pay attention to archery, horseback riding is not equal, you have shot arrows, horses you are only when you were a child..."

"I can teach him to ride a horse, he is the future expeditionary general, the ruler of the world. I don't want to see his talent fall in the wilderness. ”

Xiang Bei and Xiang Lin Zheng looked up and saw that they were scholars, seven feet tall and very handsome.

"I came from Taikang Mansion to spread the news of martial arts in various places and select talents for the emperor."

"Taikang Mansion? Is it a new department in the capital? ”

"Exactly, I should go to various places to spread the news of martial arts and select talents for the emperor."

"What is the duty of Taikang Mansion?"

"In response to the order, I went to various places to spread the news of martial arts and select talents for the emperor."

Xiang Lin Zheng and Xiang Bei both heard that something was wrong, "Aren't you entertaining me?" Xiang Bei was about to step forward, but was stopped by his father.

"Sir, where you come from, you will be there."

"Can this big brother let me talk to the little brother?"

Although Xiang Bei was puzzled, he still stepped forward. "Hurry up, have you figured it out?"

"Is that you?" Xiang Bei recognized this person as the strange giant Zhang on the mountain, and was surprised. On the other hand, he was amazed by the art of disguise.

"In the spring of next year, I will go to the capital with you with this body? Let's just say I'm a protégé. “

"What about the horse, I don't know how to ride that thing."

"It's easy to do, don't worry about it."

"Do you want to prepare anything?"

"One room, I'll stay with you."

"Ah, isn't there enough for you to live in the mountains?"

"On the one hand, you go to the mountains to blow the wind for more than ten years."

"Let's talk about it first, it's not well received."

"It's okay, you just don't starve to death."

"Father, this person has real talent and real learning, Taikang Mansion is a false position, and he can't tell it himself. Ask my father to clean up the house and let him stay. “

Although Xiang Linzheng had doubts, Layue was not easy to drive people away.

"That gentleman can't tell me where he came from, so I won't ask over there. What should I call Mr.? “

"Word sheet, what about you?"

"The surname is Xiang, and the name is Linzheng."

"Mr. Xiang, if you take me in, you can rest assured that the emperor will definitely be high school next year."

"Although I don't know where Mr. has confidence, a dead horse is a live horse doctor. To the north, it will be handed over to the sir. “

"Mr. Xiang, just let go of the demons, it's not early today, and I still have important things to deal with. He returned to the house early in the morning and retired first. “

"Send it to Mr. on my behalf." Xiang Linzheng just got up but saw Zhang Zigu walking out of the door, only to feel the wind under his feet, and then looked, there was no figure. It was already snowing heavily, and a series of footprints went straight to the mountain.

"It's a lot of snow, but it's going up the mountain." Xiang Linzheng said, turning his head to see Xiang Bei, "You kid know him?" Xiang Lin Zheng asked.

"I haven't seen it, but for the first time, I feel like a good person."

The snow is still falling, and the generals of the past and the future seem to be the same. A cold snap from Siberia blew all over the land. It's just that in the cold winter of these three months, how many uninformed people will freeze to death.
