"The imperial court actually directly used Xiong Xin as the main examiner, it seems that the imperial court has great ambitions this time......"

Xianyang City, although it is not big, but it is quite quiet in a small courtyard, Wang Ling and Yongya sit opposite each other. Wang Ling refilled the tea with Yongya, and at the same time discussed today's experience with Yongya.

Yesterday, although Lu Pheasant repeatedly stayed guests, and even had people prepare a separate cross-courtyard for them, Liu Ji was not in the house, and the two of them still used the excuse of visiting teachers and friends to politely decline Lu Pheasant's kindness.

When I came out of Zhenyuan General's Mansion, I rented this rather quiet courtyard nearby.

Yongya stroked the teacup with his hand and thanked him, then nodded in agreement.

"The imperial court wants to divide and disintegrate the antagonism of the people of the Six Kingdoms with high-ranking officials and lords......"

Speaking of this, he picked up the teacup and took a sip with a leisurely expression.

"Speaking of which, it's the opportunity I'm waiting for......"

Wang Ling couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"I just don't know what it will be like for those noble families in Yingdi to hear this news......"

When Yongya heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Although he and Wang Ling were both from wealthy families in Pei County, compared with those noble and wealthy families in Yingdi, they are really no different from the local buns in the countryside.

Therefore, it is difficult for them to have any deep empathy with those wealthy nobles in Yingdi.

In the front, there are Li Chen, Xu Zhi, Zhuo Yi and others, who have become famous in the first examination, and have become the auxiliary ministers of the Great Qin Cabinet Zhuyu in the front, and Cao Shen, Xiao He, Liu Bang, Lu Juan and others have already achieved fame, and the example of the glorious lintel is behind, to say that they are not impressed, it is false.

Therefore, after they heard the news that the Zhuqin Alliance had almost been uprooted by the imperial court, they, including the family behind them, did not hesitate and immediately made the decision to participate in the second imperial examination of the Great Qin Imperial Court.

This is also the reason why the two of them stepped on the point of the imperial examination and hurried to Xianyang.

There are not a few people who make decisions like them.

The situation is stronger than people, and people with lofty ideals who starve to death and do not eat Zhou Su, since ancient times, how many people can there be?

In the face of the real interests of the family, most people are just ordinary mediocre people.

Of course, no matter what those Chudi scholars who came to take the examination thought, the news that Xiong Xin was promoted to a counselor and served as the chief examiner of the liberal arts in this imperial examination was like a booster for those scholars from the hometown of the six countries of Shandong, which was very exciting.

As the time for the imperial examination approached, the atmosphere in Xianyang City gradually began to become serious.

Even in the past, there were significantly fewer young scholars who wanted to call friends and come out to hang out and drink, and many began to study behind closed doors, and even many young people walking on the street would roll a thin book in their hands, and no matter where they went, they would habitually take it out and look at it twice.

If you look closely, you will find that it is the subject that must be examined in the imperial examination, and the "Soul of the Army" personally corrected by the imperial grandson.

Although this level has nothing to do with learning, it plays the role of a veto, no matter what they think in their hearts, this "Casting Army Soul" must be memorized, and then eat the spirit inside......

It's in this atmosphere.

The two shocking news have successively stirred up the entire Xianyang.

First of all, the general of Zhenyuan, the reward of Liu Bang, the acting county guard of Anxi County, after three days of brewing, finally had the result, and the meritorious work was made to the great lord and was named the Marquis of Suiyuan.

Become another new marquis of Great Qin after Han Xin!

It has completely entered the field of vision of the Great Qin government and the opposition.

Just in the art of war deduction with Peng Yue, Xiang Yu, who won dismally, heard the news of Liu Jifenghou before he came out of the setback.

Once upon a time, he was almost within reach of that position!

Now......

He locked himself in the study and didn't come out for a whole day, until later, his wife Zhao Wan went over to call him, and he barely recovered some of his spirits.

However, between the eyebrows, there is a bit more than never before.

After eating, I accompanied Zhao Wan for a walk in the back garden, and after a long time, I completely made up my mind, turned around, looked at Zhao Wan's delicate face, and said softly.

"Madam, in the past few days, I want to go and say goodbye to the imperial grandson......"

Zhao Wan stopped in amazement.

Looking at Xiang Yu, who had a look of guilt on his face, he couldn't help but smile after a little hesitation.

"The husband is a person with great ambitions, since he was immediately made a marquis, his reputation is praised by the people of the world, how can the concubine pull the hind legs of the husband and become a burden to the husband......"

Speaking of this, she moved the lotus step lightly and stepped forward to hold Xiang Yu's big hand.

"Don't think of me, husband, Your Majesty and the imperial grandson have always been close to me, and there is an uncle here to help take care of it, you don't need to worry about it......"

Xiang Yu looked at his empathetic wife and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Madam, wait for me in peace, I'll be back soon—"

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and gently stroked Zhao Wan's slightly bulging lower abdomen.

"When I go out this time, I will eventually come out for the child Bo a marquis, and let him know that his Ah Weng is not weaker than others in his life!"

……

Although he had a premonition in his heart, when his husband's will to be a marquis really came down, Lu Pheasant still couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the whole person was dizzy, as if in the clouds.

This becomes the Marquise!

I really didn't look at the wrong person at the beginning-

My husband is a capable person!

For a time, there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him, and even the current emperor's grandson asked his second brother Zhao Qi to send a rich congratulatory ceremony on his behalf.

As fellow villagers, Wang Ling and Yongya came to the door again, as old friends, busy in and out, helping the Suiyuan Marquis Mansion to receive guests, so busy that after a whole day, his feet almost didn't have time to touch the ground.

Yongya is better, he is the son of the Yong family, he has been clothed and fed since he was a child, his health is quite good, and he can hold it. Wang Ling is not the case, although he is also from a wealthy family, he is a concubine, and he is no longer in the five suits of the main family, so before the family decided to let him participate in the imperial examination, how could life be described by a tight budget?

On weekdays, the nutrition is insufficient, and the bones of the body are inevitably a little thin.

On the way here, it was originally a little hard, these days, people have not rested over, today during the day is busy for a whole day, tired to sweat, when I come back at night, I feel a little sore, uncomfortable.

I thought I was too tired, and I didn't take it to heart, and when Yongya asked people to boil hot water and was about to call him to take a bath, he was already dressed and lay down to sleep.

Yongya hesitated, but after all, he couldn't bear to wake him up, so he simply helped him pull a thin quilt and let him rest. As a result, early the next morning, the royal tomb fell.

"Brother Wang, how do you feel ......?"

Yongya stopped, looked at Wang Ling, whose face was a little flushed, and couldn't help frowning.

Wang Ling reluctantly stood up and forced a smile.

"It's okay, it's probably because I've been too tired these days, take a few days of rest, and I'll be fine-Brother Yong just go by himself, remember to say sorry to Mrs. Lu for me......"

Yongya hesitated for a moment, and saw that Wang Ling really didn't look too serious, so he relaxed a little, but he still told his entourage to ask him to ask Wang Ling to ask a doctor to come over for treatment, and then hurriedly went out.

But when he came back from the Suiyuan Marquis Mansion again, Wang Ling had already developed a high fever. (End of chapter)
