In order to avoid the leakage of exam questions, the exam started on the third day of the first month of March, and there were only three days left before the questions were determined.

And the questions are all in the heads of Zhu Wenfang, Huang Pu, and He Yi, and they will not be written on paper, and they will not be announced to candidates until the moment the exam begins.

After discussing the exam questions, Zhu Wenfang asked again: "Master, how is the war situation in Japan?" ”

He Yi looked at Huang Pu, and Huang Pu hurriedly waved his hand: "Xingyi, you say, I've been busy with these messy things in Gyeonggi all day long, and I haven't paid attention to the war at all." ”

Seeing this, He Yi had to reply: "I summarize it myself, there are three keys to determining the outcome of the war, the first is national strength and logistics supply, this is common sense, let's not talk about it."

The second is command and coordination. If you think about it, all kinds of messages and orders were transmitted back and forth between Kyoshi, Shandong, Busan, North Korea, Kaga, and Sakai Port in Japan.

For example, the news spread from Busan to Sakai Port for at least ten days without encountering a storm. Replying to the letter, it will be more than ten days.

Your news is a month back and forth, the battlefield is changing rapidly, how to command? How to cooperate?

This Japanese battlefield is too much of a test of wisdom, and the level of command ability and tacit cooperation have become the biggest key to determining victory or defeat.

The third is the right time and place. For example, Ling was originally very powerful, and the army's combat power was also very strong, but it turned out to be a heavy rainstorm, and then Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and shocked Huaxia.

This is the time of day, who do you go to reason? ”

Zhu Wenfang nodded thoughtfully: "What Master means is that the victory or defeat on the battlefield in Japan is unpredictable, and whoever wins is possible?" ”

"Let's talk behind closed doors, the outcome is really unpredictable. When Dayuan conquered Japan, didn't he lose in disgrace, and this is also the basis for Japan's full confidence.

If it weren't for Dayuan's loss, Japan would not have drifted to the point where even the envoys sent by our Ming Taizu would dare to kill. ”

Zhu Wenfang asked again: "Then Kyoto, Japan has been besieged, how should Ashikaga Yoshimasa make a move next?" ”

He Yi replied: "The Holy Lord has already made a prediction, and the Ashikaga Yoshishi will send the main force of the sailors to attack Busan and destroy the materials we have hoarded in Busan.

If I were Ashikaga Yoshimasa, I would attack Busan with all my might and attack the Ming army that landed in Ise with all my might.

If the sneak attack is successful, it's quite tricky for us. ”

"Master, elder and others, let's talk about what is beneficial to us."

He Yi smiled and said: "It's good for us, the Holy Lord predicts that Japan will have a big drought this year, the grain harvest will be poor, and the people will not be able to make a living." There will be a popular uprising, and Kyoto will have to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with our army because of the lack of food.

At that time, our army relied on the camp and took the initiative, and the Battle of Changping was repeated again. ”

Zhu Wenfang also smiled: "If this is the case, then it is the third key to influencing the direction of the war that Master just said: the right time and place." The great drought is the time of the day, and the time of day is irresistible, and it ultimately determines the direction of the war

The battle of Qin and Zhao Changping was also because Tianshi was not in Zhao State, Zhao State had insufficient grain harvest, and could not borrow grain, so in the end the whole army had to attack and attack the Qin State barrier. ”

He Yi praised: "Yes, yes, yes, it makes sense, draw inferences from one another, and the children can be taught." Okay, that's all for today, I have to go back to accompany your teacher. ”

Zhu Wenfang shook his head and sighed: "Alas, lazy diseases will be passed from person to person, the father is lazy, the mother is lazy, the imperial grandmother is lazy, and the master is lazy." There is no one who is diligent, forget it, I will go back to see the princess quickly. ”

The three of them dispersed, and Zhu Wenfang wandered around and returned to his West Lake Island. When the Qi Wangfu was first built, a stone boat with a length of 30 zhang and a width of 10 zhang was built with white marble at the east end of the island.

At the west end of the stone boat is a three-story white jade building, and at the east end is a pavilion. Between the jade tower and the pavilion, there is a spacious platform.

From a distance, it looks like a white jade building ship.

Zhu Wenfang and Xu Qing named it Jasper Fang.

There are other palaces on the island, but Zhu Wenfang and Xu Qing live in Jasper Boat most of the time.

Back in the room, Zhu Wenfang asked her nurse, "Where is Qing'er?" ”

The nurse smiled: "The crown princess is on the second floor." ”

Zhu Wenfang came to the second floor lightly, and saw Xu Qing standing in front of the long white jade table, seriously fiddling with dozens of bottles and cans.

Zhu Wenfang smiled: "It's so fragrant, what is my sister doing?" ”

Xu Qing said with a smile: "My brother is back, don't mention it, I started to learn to mix spices with Shi Niang today, and I'm dying, my head is about to explode." ”

Zhu Wenfang came to Xu Qing's side: "My sister is a good daughter of the princess, it is really difficult for you to learn to mix spices." Can't you learn it? ”

Xu Qing smiled: "No, since I have already chosen, I must learn to learn well." Besides, this is Shi Niang's stunt, she is willing to teach me even if she burns high incense, others cry and shout that they want to learn and have no chance. ”

"Can you still make a living by learning to mix spices?"

"Naturally, Shi Niang opened a shop specializing in selling spices and ointments in Mingyufang, called Tianxiang Pavilion. Then he took some inconsequential recipes and ordered the maids of the priest to prepare them and sell them.

For example, today's spices of Xiangge are very popular in Beijing, and they are in short supply, and every batch they make will be sold out.

Of course, Shi Niang doesn't refer to this breadwinner, I'm just making an analogy.

However, Shi Niang is so spoiled by her father and so loved by other mothers, and she is inseparable from the fact that she is a genius in making incense.

I also want to learn this skill, so that I can be my brother's pet in the future. ”

"Pet?"

Xu Qing smiled: "Yes, today Shi Niang also taught me a lot of ways to compete for favor." ”

Zhu Wenfang smiled: "Oh, how to compete for favor, tell the widow." ”

Xu Qing replied with a smile: "Outside, I want to be a shrewd and capable princess and take care of the housework in an orderly manner." At home, I will bow down and be small, and be tactful and cheerful, and wait for my master comfortably.

In Shi Niang's original words: This father and son are both donkeys, and when dealing with them, they must be gentle and gentle, delicate and delicate. The woman with affection in her eyebrows and pear blossoms with rain is your favorite. ”

Zhu Wenfang replied angrily: "Could it be that Shi Niang is the most favored, she spends all her energy on studying how to deal with her father." ”

In the Hehuan Palace, Zhu Qiyu was eating grapes with Ning Xiang in his arms, and suddenly Ning Xiang couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Who is scolding Concubine Ai, how bitter and bitter this must be." ”

Ning Xiang looked innocent: "This morning, the slave family taught Qing'er the ability to press the bottom of the box." What a selfless and beautiful woman this is, who would be willing to scold? ”

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a long time: "It won't be Zhu Wenfang's unfilial son, right?" ”

Ning Xiang retorted: "The husband is not a filial son, Xuanmiao is so easy to send out so much territory, you have to call him back, when you dream at night, Xuanmiao gets the husband to pinch your neck in a dream." ”

Zhu Qiyu pretended to be frightened: "I'm scared to death, I'm so scared." ”
