In the previous dynasty, there was also a system of palace examinations, but it was in the Taizu period that the palace examination system was formalized and formed.

He established that after the provincial examination supported by the ministers, the emperor presided over the highest level of examination above the imperial court, and finally decided the admission list and ranking.

Therefore, all those who are in rank are equal to the protégés of the Son of Heaven.

will also be given a banquet by the emperor, and the place is in Qionglin Garden.

Therefore, it is also called the Qionglin feast.

Bai Chengnan said: "I heard my father say that this Western Xia already has plans to negotiate peace with us. ”

"Peace?"

Leng Zhongyan said: "Is this news reliable? ”

After speaking, he silently glanced at Xia Xunmo, his father Xia Zhu presided over the war between Song and Xia, and it was normal to understand the movements of Western Xia.

However, Xia Zhu went out of Beijing because of rumors.

Leaving his wife and children, I don't know if I really heard the news from Lord Xia or heard it from elsewhere.

"I went to a restaurant to drink a few days ago, passed by a room, and heard it."

"It turned out that I heard it from the restaurant, can such news be taken seriously?"

"You can't take it seriously."

Bai Chengnan said: "Song Xia has been fighting for several years, the first two years of the Western Xia is like a bamboo, morale is very strong, but from last year, the official family ordered to strictly prohibit trade with the Western Xia, especially the mountain salt and spices produced in the Western Xia, if there is a disobedience, it will be severely punished." In the first two years, many people still didn't take it seriously, it is said that Lord Di killed a lot of people because someone had a private deal with Xixia, and then no one dared to do business with Xixia anymore, and now in this Xixia territory, the people's livelihood is complaining, and if they don't talk about it, they will starve to death. ”

Li Duanyuan looked at Gu Qingjue: "Ziyuan, what do you think?" ”

"In a short period of time, the government will not accept the peace talks."

The Great Song Dynasty was beaten by the remote and small country of Western Xia a few years ago, and his face was beaten painfully.

Now that the war has finally taken a turn for the better, the officials will not easily agree.

"So sure?"

Gu Qingjue only said this, and then did not speak again.

When the news of the Western Xia's peace negotiations officially came, the official family was resolute and wanted Li Yuanhao to cancel the emperor's title by himself.

Only then did I know that what Gu Qingjue said was right.

Naturally, these are all later words.

The two returned home, and Zeng Shengji, who had rested for a long time, was practicing swords in the courtyard.

Seeing Gu Qingjue coming back, he immediately said, "Ziyuan, take your streamer sword and have a discussion with the teacher." ”

When Su Yixin renovated the house, she deliberately set aside a small martial arts arena, just to prepare for Master Zeng to come back, and on a whim, she competed with Gu Qingjue, but there was no place to play.

Don't give Huo Huo her carefully arranged yard when the time comes.

Fortunately, it was prescient at the time.

Leave a piece of land for the two of them to play freely.

When she arrived at the place, Su Yixin silently stepped aside.

Gu Qingjue is already a double god realm, as for Zeng Shengji, before joining the army, he was already a sixth god realm, and now he doesn't know which realm he has reached.

In short, no matter which realm it is, with her current Yuanying cultivation, it will definitely not be enough to see.

It's better to stay away from yourself.

so as not to be injured by mistake.

Before the two of them came and went, the incomparably powerful sword qi continued to converge in the air, and Su Yixin admired himself for being so prescient.

Zeng Shengji's swordsmanship is even more powerful than before.

Although Gu Qingjue had already practiced the Ling Xiao swordsmanship that Zeng Shengji had taught him, he was only seventeen years old after all, and how could he be the opponent of Zeng Shengji, the heir of the Zeng family.

The two were originally sparring, but in the end, they became Zeng Sheng's own teachings to Gu Qingjue.

Gu Qingjue was already very intelligent, and he only followed Zeng Shengjiwu once to see the moves, and he was already comfortable with it the second time.

Zeng Shengji stepped aside with satisfaction, looking at Gu Qingjue's familiarity with the sword style over and over again.

Su Yixin moved next to Zeng Shengji: "Master Zeng, let me ask you, why did you suddenly want to go back to Beijing when you were not a festival?" ”

Zeng Shengji glanced at Su Yixin: "What's the matter, my apprentice daughter-in-law doesn't welcome me?" ”

"Tsk, look at what the master said, my home is your home, oh, don't interrupt, hey......"

Su Yixin hasn't finished speaking.

Zeng Shengji took the sword and stabbed Su Yixin.

Su Yixin had to take the call.

"I'll take a look, how much has your cultivation increased for so long!"

Master Zeng has been in the army for a few years, and he has learned badly.

This is a test of Su Yixin's cultivation, and it is clearly teasing her: "Apprentice daughter-in-law, your progress is good, you are worthy of my apprentice, that meal should be good, I'll go change my clothes." ”

Gu Qingjue took the sword form and walked towards their courtyard with Su Yixin.

"Ziyuan, you said that the master suddenly returned to Beijing, didn't you?"

When Su Yixin spoke, she pointed to her temple, and the meaning was self-evident.

Gu Qingjue shook his head: "I'm not very sure, now that the Song Xia war is coming to an end, the master knows who his enemy is, and he definitely doesn't want to wait any longer." ”

"yes!"

The hatred of destroying the door, what a hatred.

I didn't know who the enemy was before, but now that the official family has exempted him from being wanted, and he has made great achievements in the army, it's time to come back and avenge his family.

The two changed their clothes, and when they went to the flower hall for dinner, Zeng Shengji had already arrived.

When Gu Qingjue sat down, Zeng Shengji picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

"Don't say that in the northwest in the past few years, if you don't want anything else, you just want to cook."

Su Yixin said: "This is simple, tomorrow I will cook in person, make a table for the master, and wash the dust for the master." ”

During the banquet, the three of them ate and talked, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After eating, the maid removed the dishes and brought tea, Su Yixin thought about it, and still asked Zeng Shengji: "Master, when I came to Kyoto last year, the house that Yazi introduced to me was not this first, but the one on the street side of the third sweetwater lane. ”

Zeng Shengji's hand holding the cup paused.

"I knew it was the old house of the Master's family, so I bought it."

Zeng Shengji nodded slowly and looked at Su Yixin: "Child, you have a heart!" ”

Su Yixin said with a smile: "I'm still afraid that the master will say that I am nosy, anyway, I have already made a move first, and you have to ask for this title deed." ”

Zeng Shengji looked at the title deed on the table.

It took a long time to reach out and pick up the title deed on the table, but it was not opened for a long time.

Su Yixin and Gu Qingjue glanced at each other and left silently.

The two went to the study, Gu Qingjue handled the letters, and Su Yixin sat on the warm couch to write things that had been altered and changed, and took a closer look at what kind of plan was being written.

Su Yixin propped her chin and looked at the vines outside the window.

What is the best place to open a shop in Kyoto?

Or do you want to open a ready-to-wear shop?

Kyoto is not as good as the state capital, and these days she has visited a lot of places and seen many ready-to-wear shops.

There's no shortage of clever designs.

Speaking of embroidery and fabrics, Kyoto has many good craftsmanship, and there is not much advantage in this regard.
