"Yang Hao, I'm a little flustered."
In the Savant's Restaurant, the father and son of the Yang family lived in a room. The sun was rising outside the window. After Yang Jingming finished washing up, he looked at the sleepy Yang Hao with a worried expression and said,"What if I fail the roll?”
Yang Hao yawned and immediately sat up from the couch. He smiled and said,
"Don't panic, Father, you definitely won't fail the examination. I observed the celestial phenomena last night. You will definitely be able to take the first place in the county examination. Have you forgotten the questions that old man gave us?”
"Then I'll go."
Yang Jingming looked at him with a conflicted expression and said,""Why don't you recite another poem for me…"
So you're waiting for me here? "Think about that 'Green Jade Case' in the Imperial Court, isn't that enough?" Yang Hao said in a bad mood.”
"Then I'll go." Yang Jingming smiled and walked out of the door.
"Dad, this is for you. After you finish reading it, swallow it directly. Don't let anyone find out.”Suddenly, Yang Hao's voice came from behind.
Yang Jingming looked back and saw his child handing him a piece of paper. He lowered his head and opened it. When he saw the few lines of words written on the paper, his breathing suddenly became a little hurried. His hands and feet were a little uncontrollable and he wanted to let go of himself.
"Quickly swallow it! Don't let anyone see you." Yang Hao reminded him. After Yang Jingming hurriedly swallowed the paper, he smiled and said,"Are you satisfied now?"
"Be content!" Yang Jingming grinned and said," I'm full of confidence now. I'll definitely live up to my son's talent.'The wind is cold, the water is cold. Once a strong man leaves, he will never return!'”
After saying that, he raised his hand and stroked the thin beard on his chin as he confidently left the room and headed towards the examination hall.
————
Chang 'an County's examination hall was located in Chongxian Square in the southeast of Xi City. Different from other counties outside Chang' an City, the examination hall in Chang 'an County was decorated very grandly. There were rows of tables, and every examinee had a private room to answer questions to avoid cheating.
Yang Jingming and a group of examinees from Chang 'an County arrived at Chongxian Lane early in the morning. After waiting for a long time, the head examiner finally arrived.
The examinees immediately noticed something strange.
Different from the previous years, there were two examiners this year, and they were about the same age. The slightly plump one was about forty-six years old, and the slightly pale and thin one was about forty years old.
"I am Fang Xuanling, the son of the Crown Prince's right concubine.”The slightly plump head examiner was wearing a red official robe. He pointed at the thin head examiner beside him with a smile and said,"This is Du Ruhui, the son of the Crown Prince's left concubine. This year, the two of us will be the examiners for Chang 'an County's examination.”
Du Ruhui nodded slightly and said in a slightly hoarse voice,
" Let's cut to the chase. This year's examination between Chang 'an City's Wannian County and Chang' an County is different. The questions are set by a saint. In other words, you examinees who do well in the questions will be heard by the heavens. You can be said to be a heaven-sent opportunity. Don't waste it!”
A Saint setting a question? Up to the heavens?
Just these two sentences alone made the thousands of examinees widen their eyes and shiver.
Yang Jingming was no exception. He was flabbergasted. Good heavens, it was actually the emperor who set the questions. This lineup was simply ridiculous.
For a moment, Yang Jingming was a little afraid. What if he didn't answer well? What if he answered well? He wasn't ready to deal with the current emperor.
How would he know?
In fact, he had met the current emperor long ago and had even eaten with him happily. Moreover, he had even been the emperor's crown prince and his coachman.
Soon, Fang Xuanling's loud and clear voice rang out as the examinees took their seats.
Yang Jingming eagerly waited for the test paper to arrive. He lowered his head and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but be delighted. Just as the old man had said, the question was 'Should the relationship between the court and the Turks be relaxed or should it be war'. As he bit his pen, he thought about the matter that Yang Hao had often talked about with him these days. He immediately put down his pen.
'The Imperial Court should negotiate peace.
There was a disaster in the east of the river, and locusts were on the verge of wreaking havoc in the counties. At this time, the entire country would definitely be defeated in a war!
The Turks have been spying on our Tang Dynasty for a long time. When I heard that Turi Khan of the two Turkic khans asked for troops to fight Jie Li together, and that the court intended to send reinforcements to help, I couldn't help but sigh.
If the whole country goes to war and sends troops to the Turks, if the east of the river is exposed, the refugees will rebel, and there will be internal and external troubles. The heart of seeking profit will certainly be reversed. At that time, we will join forces with Jie Li to attack our soldiers. The Tang Dynasty will be in danger!
Some people say it should be delayed, but I don't think so.
If you want to make peace with Jie Li, you should delay it, and you will hate it if you suddenly attack Jie Li. This is all because your attitude is not clear, so I think you should negotiate peace.
Peace is beneficial to both sides, and war is bound to fail.
One of the benefits of peace negotiations is that I am slightly beneficial to Jie Li. In exchange for the time for our Tang Dynasty to relieve the disaster, we can save people and land, and people and land can be saved. The second benefit of peace negotiations is that I am slightly beneficial to sudden benefits, appease their hearts, tell them not to forget their intentions, because the time has not come.
To resist foreign aggression, we should first stabilize the country. When the disaster in the east of the river is pacified, the locusts recede, and the people are encouraged, we will fight the whole country again. With the hearts of the people, we will be invincible! At this time, I congratulate the Great Tang, the court, and the people of the world for not worrying about foreign invasion and internal disasters!'
After writing a long essay, Yang Jingming picked up the paper and blew it gently to dry the ink.
The meaning of this test paper was Yang Hao's meaning.
However, the conclusion came from Yang Jingming.
Yang Jingming didn't realize that after half a day of training, he was no longer an ignorant person, especially the exquisite style of the pavilion. The font was square, smooth, black, and uniform in size, which made people's eyes light up.
He also didn't realize that his potential was being stimulated by Yang Hao bit by bit. Although his personality was somewhat lacking, his writing style, knowledge, and ideology were already far beyond ordinary people.
"Eh, there's still a poem for the test post?"
Yang Jingming flipped open the second paper and was surprised to find that this year's county examination was not only about writing, but also about poetry. When he looked at it, he couldn't help but gasp.
"My son actually hit the mark!"
————
At this moment, the other examinees were also bending over to answer the questions.
"As expected, it's this question."
Cui Chen sat cross-legged and looked at the test questions on the table in amazement. It was exactly the same as what his family had said. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a confident smile. It seemed that the head of the county examination this year would be mine!
Then, he began to write.
'The entire world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the subjects of the king. I, Cui Chen, think that war should not be delayed!'
————
Young Master Zheng, who was not far away, smiled as he looked at the question. He calmly wrote down the two words,"Yi Zhan."
————
Young Master Lu, who was next door, frowned and thought about the important matters of the imperial court that his father had told him. He remembered that this year, Tuli had asked for help. The civil and military officials of the imperial court were united and united. They wanted to use Tuli to join forces and attack Jie Li.
"The sage said: Those who attack the city are inferior, and those who attack the heart are superior. Now that the Turks are facing internal strife and have already formed their minds to attack, if our Great Tang can take this opportunity to sweep the world, conquer the eight wastelands, and eliminate foreign aggression, we will definitely be able to shake the hearts of the people, protect our territory, and protect the people. I think we should fight!'
————
As the sun gradually set, the examinees gradually came out of Chongxian Lane, signifying the end of the county examination.
