"Father-in-law, I'm a little tired from today's combat examination, so I'll go back to my room to rest.”
Yang Zhao wasn't too surprised by Li Yuan's attitude.
After all, Li Yuan's attitude towards him in the Tang Public House was much better than the Dou Clan's Li Jiancheng.
Now that he had won the first round of the combat examination, his reputation had soared. He had also received the Emperor's inexplicable protection and had overcome a difficult time. With Li Yuan's shrewdness and knowledge, it was understandable that he would pay more attention to him.
"Alright, alright. Zhao 'er, you should rest well. Tomorrow, you still have to take the second round of the military strategy exam.”When Li Yuan faced Yang Zhao, his stern face immediately changed into a caring smile.
Yang Zhao retreated to the Inner Residence.
"Husband, you're finally back. Those Yuwen family slaves outside didn't stop you, right?”
Madam Dou saw Yang Zhao leave and hurriedly asked.
"They're just a bunch of dogs who bully others. They've long been scared away by Zhao 'er.”
Li Yuan sat down with a cold smile. He did not hide his pride in his son-in-law.
Madam Dou and her children were shocked. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
"Then…then what did His Majesty say about the meeting today? Did he make things difficult for you?”Madam Dou asked impatiently.
Li Yuan took a sip of tea and told them what happened in the palace.
There was an uproar.
"Husband is saying that in order to protect Yang Zhao, His Majesty actually scolded State Duke Xu and did not pursue the matter of Yang Zhao injuring his young master?”
Lady Dou's voice was hoarse and her face was filled with disbelief.
Li Yuan smiled and nodded.
Madam Dou gasped, her eyes even more bewildered, she really couldn't believe it.
"Yuwen Huaji is His Majesty's favorite subject, but His Majesty doesn't favor him. Instead, he's protecting a poor son-in-law of our Li family?”Li Jiancheng couldn't believe it either and asked.
Li Yuan's face darkened and he said unhappily," Dalang, you'd better show some respect to your brother-in-law. Don't keep mentioning the words 'Humble Class' and 'Dut-in-law' to avoid chilling his heart."”
Li Jiancheng was scolded once again. He was extremely unhappy, but he did not dare to refute. He could only curl his lips gloomily.
"Father, could it be that His Majesty did this because the Empress and Princess Ruyi interceded for him?”Li Xiu Ning speculated.
Li Yuan sighed." Maybe. But the Empress and Princess are defending him just because they admire his poems. This is a bit far-fetched. I can't figure out the reason either. After all, the heart of the Saint is unpredictable, and the Emperor has always been temperamental. It's not easy to guess."”
The Li family was immersed in surprise and confusion.
At night, in a side room.
Yang Zhao had already forgotten about the twists and turns of the day and focused on flipping through the military book to prepare for tomorrow's military strategy competition.
The art of war was about adapting to the situation and improvising on the spot. Those who were proficient in the art of war but did not know how to apply it were only as talented as Zhao Kuo.
However, this exam was not a real battle after all. There was no way for the candidates to lead the army in real combat. They could only use a written test to test their memorization and understanding of the art of war.
Since ancient times, the art of war was nothing more than " Sun Tzu's Art of War "," Six Tactics of War ", and other military books. Even the " Tai Gong's Art of War " that Zhang Liang gave him only increased his intelligence value. It was not a lost copy.
In other words, the military books that he had read, Chai Shao and the other scions of the aristocratic families had definitely read them as well. If he just relied on memorizing and understanding, he wouldn't have much of an advantage.
"I have to bring out something new tomorrow to make their eyes light up…"
Yang Zhao's thoughts were spinning, but he had no clue at the moment.
He wanted to change his mind. He closed his eyes and entered the reincarnation forum.
The forum was filled with the essence of the review posts. Fortunately, he had shown off today and earned enough reputation points to exchange for a lot of Yama Points.
'Ding…Ximen Bao has successfully reincarnated.'
'Ding…Tian Dan has successfully reincarnated.'
'Ding…Fan Kuai has successfully reincarnated.'
……
After reincarnating five souls at the front of the queue, none of them dropped any skills or weapons.
However, although these souls were famous and had some abilities, they were not at the level of unparalleled talents. It was reasonable that they could not leave behind any relics.
After the reincarnation review, he opened his mailbox as usual to see if there were any " bribes."
"Ding…received a PM from Lu Buwei: It contains 5000 kilograms of compressed packets. Do you want to uncompress them?”
Yang Zhao's eyes lit up.
Now that his reputation was rising, he would have to enter the military after winning the combat examination. He would have to make friends, treat people, and spend money.
It was just that the monthly money that the Tang Public House gave to the couple was limited, and it was still in Li Xiu Ning's hands. Yang Zhao naturally disdained to ask for it from her.
Lu Buwei's five thousand gold taels had really solved his pressing problem.
" Prime Minister Lu Buwei is indeed a great businessman. He is generous…"
Yang Zhao sighed in his heart and marked Lu Buwei's profile picture with two stars, indicating that he had entered a group that could be prioritized for review.
"Ding…received a PM from Cao Cao: It contains Meng De's New Book on Military Tactics. After uncompressing, Intelligence Points 10. You can master advanced military strategies. Uncompress?”
Meng De's New Book?
It was rumored that Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, had summarized the military books of the past dynasties and combined them with his own actual combat experience to summarize a military book. However, in a fit of anger, he burned it himself and lost it?
"Cao Cao, you really are a timely help…"
Yang Zhao smiled.
