August 1, 449 Sedum.

Early morning.

Baiyun County, Licheng, Wangjia Village.

A neatly dressed, thin boy with a delicate face was packing up what he could use, accompanied by his parents.

Today, the teenager will go to the county town to take the county examination, and only by passing the county examination can he go to the imperial city to take the real imperial examination in a month.

The county examination was conducted first, and then the large-scale imperial examination, mainly because the number of people in the imperial examination was too large and the first round of screening had to be conducted.

The exact number of people screened varies from county to county.

Counties with more people will have more places correspondingly, and only candidates who enter the quota can set foot on the imperial city to conduct the imperial examination.

Young Wang Lin, this time he was going to the county town with several colleagues from his hometown to take the county exam.

Others saw that the young man was full of laughter at this time, but in fact, he was already panicking in his heart.

Since it was his first time participating, he was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to get by, which couldn't help but put pressure on him.

The exam is scheduled in seven days.

Seeing his son's current situation, the royal father, who was smoking a dry cigarette next to him, said: "Son, don't be so nervous, if you are nervous, it will only make you lose in the examination room." ”

"Daddy! You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and if you are like my son and me, you will probably be more nervous than me. Wang Lin responded with a wry smile on his face.

"What you say is true, but you should know that if you are too nervous, it is very likely that you will be left behind." The royal father said earnestly.

"Xiaolin, what your father said is very true, don't be too nervous, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to you in the future." The queen mother, who was helping to clean up the things next to her, also opened her mouth to let her son relax.

Seeing that his parents cared so much about him, Wang Lin secretly decided in his heart that he must pass the county examination, and then go to the imperial city to participate in the triennial imperial examination.

With the help of his parents, Wang Lin quickly packed his things, got enough money, and then set out on the way to the exam.

Because of reluctance, the royal father and the queen mother accompanied their son to the entrance of the village, except for them, all the men of Wangjia Village who were going to take the exam came to the entrance of the village accompanied by their parents.

After greeting their parents, 228 men from Wangjia Village embarked on the road to the county seat.

On everyone's back, they carried a cage and a "imperial flag", with the words "Daqin" written on one side and "candidates" on the other, and next to the words "candidates", there were everyone's names.

This "imperial flag" is not simple, and even the Great Qin Dynasty issued a pass certificate for candidates, with it, the road is unimpeded, and the major restaurants give priority to hospitality and arrange accommodation.

Even if you enter the city in the evening, the closed door will be opened for you as soon as possible, and then under the arrangement of a specific person, you will stay in a special restaurant.

On top of that, it's a security card.

On the way to the examination, if someone dares to hurt you or hinder you from taking the imperial examination, you will be punished by the nine clans.

And what happened in Wangjia Village also appeared in various parts of Baiyun County at this moment, no, to be precise, in the five hundred and eighty-two counties of the Great Qin Dynasty, it was happening.

Candidates who set off from home all traveled to one destination, the county seat of their respective county, and took the first imperial examination of the year.

Although it was only a county examination, everyone knew that if they could not pass the county examination, they would not be able to enter the imperial city to take the imperial examination.

Candidates from the surrounding dynasties, after obtaining their respective examination qualification certificates, also embarked on the road to participate in the imperial examination.

……

At noon, the Great Qin Palace.

In the huge imperial study, Qin Tianlong was sitting on a chair with a sad face.

For the twists and turns in front of him, he is not in any mood to change it at all.

Seeing this, Wang Wei next to him asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" ”

"Candidates from all over the country are going to the counties to take the military exams, and I'm worried that something will happen in them." Qin Tianlong told about the sorrow in his heart.

"Since Your Majesty is worried, why don't you go and check it out in person, so that you can rest assured."

"Great idea!" Qin Tianlong's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he instructed Liu Wei: "Gonggong Liu, you go and ask the prince to come over and take over the correction of my corrections." ”

"No!"

Liu Wei next to him answered, and then got up to leave, and Wang Wei hurriedly followed.

As soon as he walked out of the imperial study, Wang Wei asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to go secretly or openly on this trip?" ”

"It's too easy to attract attention, and it will also cause a lot of pressure on candidates, so it's better to travel secretly." Qin Tianlong replied without thinking.

Traveling in the open will not only attract attention, create pressure for candidates, but may even cause trouble, especially those who want him to die.

He wasn't afraid of those people, but he hated those annoying flies, and he didn't want to put pressure on the candidates.

"In this case, the slave maid will let them prepare the teleportation array, so that His Majesty can leave here secretly."

"Go ahead!"

"No!" In response, Wang Wei immediately quickened his pace and left.

Qin Tianlong went to his palace to clean up before leaving the palace.

Liu Wei, who left the imperial study, rode the ancient carriage of the water antelope horse, and soon came to the East Palace, and saw Qin Lang who was reading a book under the pavilion.

Su Mucheng stood behind him and kept massaging him.

Su Mucheng was able to enter the palace and settle in the East Palace, it was all due to Qin Lang.

However, due to the particularity, Su Mucheng did not enter the East Palace as a concubine, but as a special identity.

"The old slave sees His Royal Highness the Prince." As soon as he came to the pavilion, Liu Wei immediately saluted.

"What's the matter with Gonggong Liu?" Qin Lang stopped reading and turned his gaze to Liu Wei.

"If you go back to Your Highness, Your Majesty has something to do, so please go and take over Your Majesty's affairs."

"Do you know what Your Majesty is going to do?" Qin Lang asked with some curiosity.

"Forgive the old slave for offending, what Your Majesty has to do, the old slave can't tell His Highness."

didn't get the answer he wanted, Qin Lang didn't bother anymore, put down the matter in his hand, and took Su Mucheng and Chen Gui to the imperial study.

did not bring Wei Zhongxian, mainly because the other party's range of activities was limited to the East Palace, and other places were not allowed to enter or leave.

This is also the reason why Qin Lang had no way to take the other party to the imperial study.

Su Mucheng was allowed by the emperor.

Not long after, everyone came to the imperial study, and Qin Lang also achieved the position where the emperor often sits.

When he saw a pile of folds in front of him, black lines couldn't help but appear on his face.

Isn't that a bit of a lot of work? And depending on the situation, it seems to have accumulated over several days.

Liu Wei couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

These twists and turns on the table have been accumulating for several days.

The reason why the emperor did not correct it was mainly because he was a little worried about the imperial examination, so he was not in the mood to change, otherwise it would have been dealt with long ago.

After a long sigh, Qin Lang began to correct the folds......

Time flickered, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.

After an afternoon of work, Qin Lang had only finished correcting half of the folds.

Looking at the rest of the recitals, he didn't feel any joy, but was speechless.

What is the situation of the emperor these days? Why haven't you finished grading these memoirs?

By correcting these recitals, he also clearly knew that the specific content of these recitals was about the ongoing imperial examinations and what was happening in various places.

Among them, the story of the rainstorm is the most mundane.

Recently, there have been frequent heavy rains in the southern counties. The occurrence of these torrential rains not only brings mudslides, but also paralyzes roads.

Although officials from all over the country were sending people to do their best to repair it, because it was raining all the time, they just used it for a day.

Faced with such a situation, the counties could only ask the emperor to send an army to deal with it.

However, because the emperor was bent on the imperial examination, this also delayed this matter.

After he corrected these recitals, he immediately instructed Liu Wei to do it and notified the troops in various places to rush to repair the roads......

Don't think about him anymore, and return to the East Palace with Su Mucheng.

As soon as he returned to his residence, Su Mucheng was paralyzed on the chaise longue, looking very tired.

Seeing this, Qin Lang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

She hadn't done anything since the end of the day except reading some books, and now she was as tired as a dog!

Coming to the chaise longue and sitting down, Qin Lang began to think about what was next.

Whether it is his adviser or a prince's adviser, he is preparing for the county exam at the moment.

Although they are all in the Imperial City, they still have to take the county exam, and only by passing the county exam can they move on to the next round of exams.

Seeing Qin Lang come to the bed and sit down, Su Mucheng's inner membrane turned around, using his thighs as pillows, and at the same time blocking his tiger waist with both hands, and burying his head in his abdomen.

Reaching out and touching Su Mucheng's head, Qin Lang smiled on his face and said, "Mucheng, do you want to eat barbecue?" ”

"Barbecue? What is barbecue? Su Mucheng raised his head and looked at Qin Lang with some doubts, not understanding what the barbecue in the other party's mouth was?

"A very tasty delicacy that you want to eat or not." Qin Lang replied with a smile.

"Yes!" As soon as he heard what he was eating, Su Mucheng nodded without hesitation, and his eyes were full of longing.

"Wait a minute, let them prepare." After saying this, he said softly: "Little Guizi." ”

Chen Gui, who was standing outside the door, heard Qin Lang shouting to himself, and immediately came to the house and said, "What does Your Highness command?" ”

Qin Lang said: "Go and prepare the ingredients for the barbecue, remember to take some vegetables, don't always take meat." ”

"No!" In response, Chen Gui took a few steps back, and then turned to leave.

As for what ingredients to take for barbecue, after so many days of getting along, as well as accompanying Qin Lang to eat barbecue, he himself has long remembered it.

"Your Highness." Just as the two kept chatting, Xun He's voice suddenly sounded in Qin Lang's mind.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Qin Lang raised his right hand, pressed his temple, and said silently in his heart by the way: "What's the matter." ”

"Just now, Jinyi Wei came to report that there was a woman sneakily wandering back outside the prince's mansion." Xun Or immediately opened his mouth to answer.

Qin Lang asked calmly: "Do you know who the other party is?" ”

"Not so clear! But judging from the other party's figure, the woman seemed to be from Xiling's side. ”

"Xiling woman? Wait a minute...... Could it be Murong Yao? Qin Lang was suddenly startled in his heart, and his eyes flashed with disbelief.

Murong Xi had said before that her sister must come to find her, as for why she came? The other party did not tell.

However, judging from Xun He's narration, Murong Xi's sister Murong Yao has arrived, as for how to enter the imperial city? I'm afraid no one knows.

"Your Highness, do you need someone to sit down on that woman?" Xun or asked.

"No, you don't! In addition, you send someone to contact her, and bring her into the prince's mansion, and then let the two women who originally served Mu Cheng serve her. Qin Lang said.

Although I don't know why this woman came because of herself, since the other party has arrived, and he has promised Murong Xi, he naturally can't let her walk around.

If the other party falls into the hands of King Chen, then this is not such a good thing for him, and he may even become a pawn against himself.

"No!"

After saying a few more words, Qin Lang ended the conversation, and then thought about the things about Southern Xinjiang.

With the efforts of the Holy Maiden Ahsan, today's southern Xinjiang has become the land of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Although there are still some people who do not obey the discipline and do not want to obey the orders of the Great Qin Dynasty, and secretly confront the Great Qin Dynasty.

However, for him, he didn't need to pay much attention to it, he just needed to arrange for the "Jinyi Guard" to pull them out, and then kill them.

In order to take over the southern Xinjiang, he and the saint Ahsan had a lot of effort, and the process was not only thrilling, but also almost failed.

Fortunately, the saintess Ahsan is very smart, otherwise things would not only fail, but also cause a series of unimaginable consequences.

Due to the fact that he took southern Xinjiang without spending a single soldier, Qin Tianlong also canceled his destruction plan and transferred all the troops originally stationed at the border passes in southern Xinjiang.

As for where these transferred troops went? If his prediction is correct, the army that was transferred away may have secretly gone to Xiling.

As long as they wait for the time to come, they will not hesitate to attack Xiling and take it down, making it the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty.

According to the news from Xiling's side, Duanmukai, the king of Xiling, was frightened into a cold sweat when he learned that the southern Xinjiang had been destroyed, and hurriedly increased the army to the border pass.

Even though the two forces were already in a state of marriage, King Khan of Xiling still added troops to the border passes. He knew better than anyone else that the Great Qin Dynasty, which was calm on the surface, would definitely move westward and destroy Xiling.

When the southern Xinjiang was still there, they didn't have to fear the Great Qin Dynasty at all, but now that the southern Xinjiang has been destroyed, they only have a dead end left......

After a long time, Chen Gui came from outside the door and saluted in parallel: "Your Highness, the barbecue food you asked the slaves and maids to prepare, the slaves and maids have all been prepared, and they are all placed in the attic where you often eat barbecue. ”

Hearing this, Qin Lang showed a smile on his face, and said to Su Mucheng in his arms: "Mucheng, go, take you to eat barbecue, let you taste the most beautiful food in this world." ”

"Uh-huh!" Su Mucheng, a snack merchant, stiffened his head, then stood up, put on his shoes, and left the attic with Qin Lang.
