In the early summer of May, the weather was slightly hot and dry, Chen Mo was dressed in thin clothes and sat leisurely in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Zhao Yu was by his side, looking at the gate of the house from time to time.

Today is the day of the palace examination list, and the Jinshi and the first, the Jinshi origin, or the same Jinshi origin, will be decided today.

Although as long as you enter the temple examination, you will not be eliminated, but the results determine the starting point and future development.

If the Jinshi is the first, then the starting point is the five-grade official, and the first champion is the five-grade official.

The Jinshi background is slightly inferior, and the same Jinshi background is again first-class.

"Don't worry, your husband and I must be the champion of this Ke hand." Chen Mo saw that she kept looking around, and said with a smile.

The palace test has ended, and Chen Mo is the first place except for the strategy.

In fact, even if the list has not yet been released, many people have determined that Chen Mo must be the champion of today's science and martial arts.

"I'm just waiting to see when the person who reported the list will come, so that I can be the champion lady." Zhao Yu smiled coquettishly and leaned into Chen Mo's arms.

She never thought that Chen Mo would be the champion of today's science and martial arts, because she believed that Chen Mo would definitely not say big things in front of her.

The two didn't wait long when a noisy gong came from a distance, and someone rang the gong to announce the good news.

"Congratulations to Chen Xiannan, the first place in the high school of the palace examination, and the champion of today's science and martial arts!" Two palace servants hurriedly came to report the good news, apparently the news came directly from the palace.

And behind them were the people who followed the gongs and drums all the way to see the excitement, and ordinary people naturally couldn't enter the inner city on weekdays.

But this team of annunciation, there will be people there who dare to stop it, otherwise it will offend Chen Mo.

"Come on, scatter happy money." Chen Mo greeted, and immediately two servants brought a wooden box.

It was filled with silver beans one after another, each weighing a penny.

It is a tradition to sprinkle happy money after the imperial examination after high school, especially for a person like Chen Mo, who is a high school champion, unless the family is really poor, otherwise they will sprinkle silver beans and copper coins.

"Thank you two colleagues for the good news, this money will be used for tea." Chen Mo took the silver ticket again and handed it to the two palace people who came to report the good news.

"Haha, thank you for the reward." The two of them took the silver ticket and both smiled happily.

They hurriedly came to report the good news, not just for the good money, but mainly to take this opportunity to meet Chen Mo and get acquainted with each other.

After all, everyone can see that a champion of the acquired realm will definitely be reused by His Majesty, and Chen Mo will definitely rise to prominence in the future.

The servants of the house sprinkled silver beans everywhere, causing many people to pick them up.

Fortunately, this is the inner city, even if it is sprinkled with silver beans, no one dares to rob it.

The people who came to congratulate dispersed, and many officials and nobles came to congratulate Chen Mo on his achievement of the champion.

The gifts given by these people are not very precious, and they can only be said to be out of courtesy, and they have purchased a congratulatory gift.

They had no intention of wooing Chen Mo, nor did they have the idea of asking Chen Mo to do something.

Now at most, he is familiar with his face, and he handed over a famous post, and if there is something in the future, he will come to visit with a generous gift when he really asks for help.

Therefore, Chen Mo accepted these gifts with a smile and thanked everyone one by one.

Since the time of the day, the officials who came to Daoxi one after another continued until after noon, and no one came.

I don't know how many congratulatory gifts were sent to the warehouse first, and they were all sent to the warehouse for later use.

"I'm tired." Chen Mo hugged Zhao Yu with a little distress and rubbed her shoulders for her.

Many guests came to visit Daohe, Chen Mo wanted to greet the guests, and Zhao Yu had more things to do.

Arrange for the maid servant to send tea and snacks, let the gifts be sent to the warehouse, and then count the gift sheets one by one.

Although there is a housekeeper, she is not at ease if she is handed over to someone else, and she must keep an eye on it herself.

What's more, he is the mistress of this house, and these things should be handled by himself.

"As long as I can help you, I'm happy no matter how tired I am." Zhao Yu smiled happily and snuggled into Chen Mo's arms.

She knew that the things she was busy with now were really insignificant compared to what Chen Mo had done for herself.

But between husband and wife, there is no distinction between each other, and it is difficult to talk about who pays more for whom.

As long as both of them think about each other, that's enough.

"You sit down and rest first, and we'll eat later."

Chen Mo asked her to sit on a chair to rest, and then she heard someone shouting loudly, "Spread the word of the saint!" ”

Hearing this, he hurriedly walked outside the house, and the old eunuch he had seen before said with a smile, "Spread the word of the saint, Chen Mo, the champion of the current department, and immediately enter the palace to face the saint." ”

"Wechen takes orders." Chen Mo bowed, then turned around and explained to Zhao Yu, "I will enter the palace first, and if you are hungry, you will eat first, you don't have to wait for me." ”

After speaking, he left with the old eunuch who came forward to give the message.

"Dare to ask my seniors, why did Your Majesty suddenly summon me at this time."

Chen Mo's voice was very low, and he quietly handed over a few small silver tickets.

The old eunuch couldn't help but smile, and he was quite satisfied with Chen Mo's attitude in his heart.

As a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he is not really short of silver, he mainly likes Chen Mo's attitude, and he has never looked down on himself because he is a eunuch.

Those children from big families, in the face of people like him, will inadvertently show faint disdain.

There are only characters like Chen Mo who have worked hard from the bottom, and it is not easy to know that it is not easy for anyone, it is not that he really can't live, and who is willing to be a eunuch, so his attitude towards him has always been the same.

"After the release of the imperial examination, it has always been a rule for the Son of Heaven to summon the top three, but His Majesty only summons you to the palace now, and he should have explained to you in advance."

Speaking of this, his steps slowed down, and he inadvertently took the silver ticket from Chen Mo's hand, and then said, "As far as I know, it should be related to the enemy country and the demonic path of the Chaotic Sky Valley. ”

After saying that, he said no more, quickened his pace, and walked towards Miyagi.

There are things about the enemy country and the Demon Dao, and Chen Mo has also learned a lot about it during this time.

The enemy country mentioned by Daqian is not a foreign race, but a northern departure, which was built by the imperial family left outside the previous dynasty and occupied the land of Kyushu in the world.

To this day, they still call themselves Da Li, but Da Qian always calls him Bei Li.

The overall national strength of Beili is not as good as that of the Great Qian, but it does not have to deal with foreign races, so it can devote more forces to the defense of the Great Qian.

Since the establishment of the two countries, there have been many major and small battles, and the blood shed by countless soldiers at the border passes has dyed the soil of the border passes into an endless dark red

However, to this day, the two countries have only temporarily ceased hostilities, and there may be another war one day.

As for the Valley of the Troubled Heavens, it is an extremely special place, where everything is chaotic and disorderly, and it is impossible to guess with common sense.

Those who lack strength and do not have special means will not be able to step into it at all.

The imperial army could not enter, and only a small number of strong men were sent to attack, and it was difficult to completely clear out the demon thieves hiding in it.

What's more, there are not no strong people among those demon thieves, they are just temporarily dormant in the Chaotic Sky Valley, as long as the time is right, they will come out again to stir up the storm.

For Daqian, the Demon Dao is like a bedbug in the gutter, too good at hiding, so it has not been able to deal with it cleanly.

Chen Mo estimated that His Majesty was attacked this time, and the next step was to encircle and suppress the Demon Dao, and then conquer the alien race.

As the old eunuch walked all the way into the palace, Chen Mo came to the side hall where he had been.

"Chen Xiannan, please come in." The palace housekeeper stopped and said.

Chen Mo did not hesitate and walked into the hall.

Today, the palace is lit with an unusually large amount of incense, which even smells a little greasy.

When today, Zi casually sat at the desk in a regular dress to deal with business, and when he heard the voice of Chen Mo coming in, he still didn't stop his movements.

Chen Mo was not in the slightest hurry, and always waited silently on the side.

It wasn't until Zhao Huaili finished processing the official documents of the court that he saluted and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty." ”

"Aiqing is flat." Zhao Huaili lightly lit the lamp, and his eyes showed appreciation.

Although he didn't raise his head just now, he still felt all Chen Mo's movements very clearly.

Chen Mo is young enough, strong, talented, and more importantly, not arrogant or impatient.

This is the most important point, so that I can rest assured that I will hand over some important things to him.

Otherwise, if you only have strength and no brains, and you can't sink your heart to do things, then at most you will be a fierce general who fights hard, and you can't be the boss.

"Aiqing has now achieved the title of champion, and will become the pillar of my great work in the future." With a smile on his face, he spoke slowly.

"The ministers all rely on His Majesty's cultivation." Chen Mo immediately replied.

"I have something I want you to do, and there are thousands of dangers in this matter, and Aiqing is willing to do it."

The reason why Zhao Huaili wanted to summon Chen Mo today was because there was something important to arrange for him.

And waiting for tomorrow's court meeting is to announce these things that have been arranged.

"Weichen is a great minister, Your Majesty has an order, and the minister does not dare to resign, so he should go all out to repay His Majesty."

Chen Mo looked serious and replied in a deep voice.

He said this with sincerity, and when he said nothing else today, a reward is truly given.

The things he explained, as long as they did not affect his life, Chen Mo would try his best to do it well.

"Good, good!" Zhao Huaili laughed, seemingly very satisfied with his attitude.

"There has been no war between our Daqian and Beili for several years, but recently the Demon Dao has colluded with foreign races, causing widespread trouble in the territory of our Daqian.

I want to destroy the demon path first, and then conquer the alien race. It's just that such a move will inevitably not be able to hide from the north, and if they transfer troops to the south, they will start a war with our cadres again.

At that time, even if I can deal with it, if I want to encircle and suppress the Demon Dao and conquer the alien race, I will definitely be subject to many constraints. ”

Zhao Huaili sighed softly and slowly recounted what the imperial court was going to do next.

There is no need to hide these things, anyway, they will be said at the court meeting in a few days.

Encircling and suppressing the Demon Dao and suppressing the alien race, these two things must be arranged for people to do, and these people must know that the tiger's whiskers are not just touched.

"I want you to be your messenger, to send an envoy to the north, to negotiate peace with him.

There will be demons and foreign powerhouses on the way, and there will be people who want to sabotage this peace negotiation.

I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles along the way, can Aiqing go? ”

Zhao Huaili stood up, stared at silence and asked.

"We're willing to go." Chen Mo did not hesitate, decisively agreed, and then said again, "It's just that Weichen still has something to understand, I hope Your Majesty can answer." ”
