"It's better for you to take care of yourself." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "The emperor has locked you up for so long, and he has been exempted from imprisonment, nor has he been used in the army, nor has he been exiled, maybe he will be able to pardon you before the New Year." ”

"Haha, I don't want to think about this anymore, the emperor is willing to let me live here for the rest of my life, it is a vast grace, how dare I have any other hopes?" Lin Dongyang said, "I think you should also go, it's not good to delay here for too long, you're not afraid of anything, I'm still afraid, you can't have an accident, otherwise what will happen to my son?" ”

Xiao Chen came out and asked Lin Qi to go in to say goodbye to his father, and several brocade guards surrounded him and begged for rewards.

Usually the reward is not counted, this talk is about to celebrate the New Year, we are on an errand, and we can't give your Hou Ye a New Year's greeting, and it won't be our turn to say it.

So first give your Hou Ye an early year, you will always be rewarded with all the annual rewards...... The big guy is also better than having a fat year.

After a while, Lin Qi came out dejectedly, and it seemed that he had been trained again just now. The attitude of the Jinyi guards towards him has also changed greatly, and he was polite before, but it was all false, but this time he came extremely enthusiastically, and he was extremely affectionate with Lin Gongzi.

I know that he went to Langya and made a lot of contributions, and I heard that he also single-handedly went straight to Baisha City to persuade Duan Fengnian to surrender...... Tut-tut, at a young age, it's so daring!

Out of the edict, Lin Qi was still sulking and didn't say a word.

"What's wrong with you kid?" Xiao Chen had to take the initiative to talk to him, "Lord Dongyang scolded you twice, are you still angry?" ”

"I'm not angry with my father, I'm angry with you!" Lin Qi said loudly, "You told my father that I had to take the exam, didn't you?" ”

"Isn't that for your own good?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"I didn't do anything wrong, why did you want to drive me away?" Lin Qi's face turned red.

"Who said they were going to kick you away?" Xiao Chen said.

"I told Xiao Ye and them that I would go to Yanyun after the New Year! You have to let me take the entrance examination now, isn't this just a clear that you don't want me to go? What's the difference between getting rid of me? Lin Qi said.

"I'm really going to kick you away when you say that." Xiao Chen said, "I'm going to try it in a month after the New Year, you pack up and go home to read to me, sharpen the gun in battle, it's not fast or light, it's always better than not grinding." ”

"But there's a lot more to do." Lin Qi is now equivalent to Xiao Chen's housekeeper, as soon as he comes back, Xiao Yu immediately let himself go, he doesn't care about anything, and everything is handed over to Lin Qi.

"It's not important to try anything!" Xiao Chen said, "Of course, I will say hello to them when I go back, but you still need to be hard to strike iron, if you are muddy, no one can support the wall!" Don't end up in Sun Shan, and embarrass Lord Dongyang and me! ”

"I don't need anyone to take care of me, I can be admitted by myself!" Lin Qi said, "If I fall off the list, then there must be fraud!" ”

"Oh, what are you blowing with me!" Xiao Chen said, "Or do you want to be angry with me?" ”

"It's not about blowing the air, it's not about making gas with you, that's how it is." Lin Qi said, "I was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics when I was seven years old, I was selected for Xiucai when I was ten years old, and I actually won the township test for Xie Yuan at the age of thirteen. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Xiao Chen was taken aback, "Why didn't Lord Dongyang mention it to me?" ”

"He never mentioned it to anyone, and he didn't want me to have any reputation as a prodigy, so I'm afraid that I'm too old to be good." Lin Qi said.

"Lin Qi, either you don't take the test, if you want to take the test, you have to take it, whether it is a jinshi or a fellow jinshi, you always have to have a background, otherwise you will also live up to Lord Dongyang and my hard work for you!" Xiao Chen said, "If I don't mention this matter to Liu Qiheng and Jiang Tiansheng, of course it's better, but how sure are you?" ”

"Ninety percent." Lin Qi said, "There is also a natural and man-made disaster, an accident. ”

"Okay, I'll believe you." Xiao Chen said, "Since you say this, you must do it, if you don't do it, the friendship between our brothers will be cut off in two in the future, and what I hate the most is the person who lies to me with nonsense." ”

"What if I get into the first place?" Lin Qi said, "Can I not be an official in Da Zhou and go to Yanyun with you?" ”

"Oops, you say you're fat and you're still panting!" Xiao Chen said angrily, "Let's talk about it when you get in, if you can't pass the exam, don't talk about going to Yanyun, my door won't allow you to enter!" ”

It's really a little angry, it's okay for young people to be arrogant, but this kid is too crazy!

It's even more arrogant than me, if I go to the test myself...... I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the test.

Lin Qi is not only sure that he will pass the exam, but he also doesn't need to read and review, he is familiar with it, what else is he reading?

It's nothing more than the topic of the fourth and fifth secretaries, and I don't have anything to do......

As for the strategy, Brother Xiao, I bet with you, the topic must be related to Langya County! If it is not a policy to stabilize the locality, it is a theory of leveling the frontier and defending the country.

Xiao Chen, who listened to it, rolled his eyes, what kind of kid is you going to be Jingang?

Originally, Li Wanjiang said that he wanted Xiao Chen to rest at home for three days, but he only rested for one day, and he was recruited into the palace early the next morning, Xiao Chen knew that Li Wanjiang had received the news of the English suing for peace, which was a day slower than the news of Dugulou, but it was quite fast.

As he expected, Li Wanjiang convened the ministers to discuss this matter.

Although Li Wanyun and Dugulou went to work in vain, since the English took the initiative to give in and sue for peace, the posture of the front and back was still very low, and it was still a good thing to say.

Since people proposed to strike the war, Li Wanjiang naturally would not send sailors to fight others, but how to characterize the battle that did not start this time also needs to be discussed.

Now Li Wanyun has gone back with the last messenger Petel, so when I see him, do I accept their apologies, agree to their request for peace, or force them to hand over a letter of surrender?

In addition, no matter how many gold and silver treasures they brought, they must always have a name, whether it is a tribute, a compensation, or a simple gift?

The big guys talked a lot, and they all said anything, but Xiao Chen kept silent, and said in his heart what is there to talk about? You, Li Wanjiang, definitely don't plan to fight others, isn't that just a peace talk?

Although that Pitter was very rude last time, your emperor has a large number of them, and it is nothing to tolerate the ignorance of his small foreign country.

Besides, we didn't suffer any losses, and they didn't take advantage of it, didn't they bring gifts?

The instructions are sincere.

It doesn't matter if my Yanyun Navy makes a big move, it is regarded as a training, and it can be regarded as showing our strength to the English, which has also played a deterrent role to some extent, and it is not completely in vain.

So when Petel comes, just reprimand him in person, don't ask for any surrender from them, and ask them to pay tribute, it's useless.

Didn't Dongying also pay tribute to Da Zhou at that time, but shouldn't he beat you the same as beating you?
