Hou Wenyuan rode his horse and followed his father all the way home!
Hou Junji wasn't usually this busy. After court, he would eat lunch and then work in the Bureau of Military Personnel until an hour before dinner before leaving.
When he reached home, he had dinner, then practiced his martial arts, drank tea, and rested.
This was because Li Shimin had decided to personally go to Tuyuhun this morning. Furthermore, he had adopted Zhangsun Wuji's strategy in the morning court.
Hou Junji understood this tactic all too well. To put it nicely, he wanted Jiannan Road to hold the fort while the Great Tang attacked the capital.
To put it bluntly, he was sacrificing Jiannan Dao to pick the peaches alone.
The method was very similar to Zhangsun Wuji, like sacrificing a commoner scholar to become an idiot son.
The strategy was set, but the details were up to the Bureau of Military Personnel!
How many troops did they send?
Where would they gather?
The distance between each road and the assembly point was different, and there had to be an order to enter the assembly point. After all, there were only a few official roads, and each road was only that wide. They could not go all the way.
Then, after each path gathered their own forces, when would they set off? Only then could they ensure that there was a first-come, first-served basis and that they would not be delayed for too long.
The number of cavalrymen and infantrymen, apart from the local generals of each province, there had to be a general in charge of the vanguard. Who was suitable to go?
Hou Junji's Bureau of Military Personnel was required to decide on many details.
Hah!
Hou Junji felt tired even as he rode. His body wasn't tired, but his mind and eyelids were.
When he was doing these things, he always felt that something was wrong.
The gentry clans had influence in the local military and political affairs of the country. Usually, when they called for war, they would use excuses such as having no money, no strength, and wasting money.
Why was he so proactive today?
"Wenyuan!"
"After you get home, drink a few cups with your father to relieve your fatigue!”
Hou Wenyuan smiled innocently and replied,""Yes, Father!"
"Father, I heard that the officials of the aristocrats are very enthusiastic about sending troops to war today?”
"This is very abnormal!"
Hou Junji frowned and yawned again."Let's talk at home!"
Drive!
As soon as he finished speaking, the father and son went home one after another.
She was hungry. She wanted to eat, drink, and chat when she got home.
Hou Junji was very pleased with Hou Wenyuan's performance today.
Back then, because of this imperial edict, the second generation of officials could not become officials directly.
Military officers relied on their skills in archery, horses, and military tactics. Although they did not take the military examination, there were similar assessments in the military camp, and they also had to take military merits into consideration.
Civil officials, then there was no need to say much. They would directly go to the examination hall!
Generally speaking, the son of a civil official wanted to be a civil official, and the son of a military official wanted to be a military official. Whether it was hereditary or family care, it was the same.
Of course, there were also mutants!
For example, Hou Wenyuan, who was clearly the son of a general, had to fight for his courage. He was determined not to enjoy the shade of a tree, but to fight for a world in another field.
There were no absolutes in the world. Although most of the children of officials, rich families, and aristocratic families were playful, there was no lack of talents who had a good background but wanted to do their best.
This kind of person had a youthful spirit!
Once he worked hard, it would be fine if he was tough, but if he was lucky, he would be awesome.
However, he had no luck, no 'man-made luck'!
There were four types of people in the Great Tang Imperial Court.
The traditional aristocrat ministers were the old aristocratic families, the five surnames and the seven Wangs.
The newly promoted officials were officials like Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian, who had the same goal of monopolizing power.
The military officials were people like Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, one was from tribulation path and the other was from blacksmithing.
Noble and perfect ministers were extremely rare. Only Li Jing and Li Daozong could do that.
Li Jing was the nephew of Han Qinhu from the Upper Pillar State of the Great Sui Dynasty. Li Daozong was a member of the Great Tang Imperial Family. Although he wasn't as perfect as Li Jing, he had a strong character and ability.
Of these four types of people, the first two were one-headed, and the latter two were one-headed.
They were evenly matched in the imperial court!
Moreover, the aristocratic families had bad morals and brought disaster to their families!!!
Hou Wenyuan was one of them.
Although he didn't take his life, he still played a small trick and caused him to fail the imperial examination.
He was as angry as Lin Hao!
Zhangsun Wuji didn't bully him like how he bullied Lin Hao. He didn't say to his face,'So what if he wants to take away your official career?' Of course, he wasn't a commoner, so he didn't dare to say anything. He could only play tricks behind his back.
Although he did not say it explicitly, after living in Chang 'an for so many years, everyone knew each other and grew up together.
Zhangsun Chong could be the top scorer, but he, Hou Wenyuan, failed?
If this wasn't the head examiner Zhangsun Wuji and the deputy examiner Lu Shou and Cui Min messing around, then what was it?
However, there was no other way. The Emperor had acquiesced, so there was no other way!
Besides, he didn't want to cause trouble for his father.
Just like that, the young man's hot blood was doused by a bucket of water. From then on, he became a subordinate in the Ministry of War.
It was good to be under the shade of his father!
However, he was forced to do so!
His hatred for the Imperial Court grew with each passing day.
At that time, a black-clothed person found him. It was the commoner scholar, Lin Hao, who appreciated him back then.
At that time, he found out that Lin Hao had returned to his hometown and became a secretary!
That night, they transformed into men in black and sat on the roof of Taiji Palace's glazed tiles. They admired the moon, drank wine, pointed out the country, and plotted together!
After they had a good time, Lin Hao gave him a falcon, which was a gyrfalcon!
In an era where there was no signal, people could only rely on horses and carrier pigeons to send messages.
In order to conceal themselves, carrier pigeons were usually used.
However, after the carrier pigeons were known to everyone, people would know at a glance that it was easy to expose them.
Later on, they used wild geese, and there was the saying of wild geese sending letters.
Lin Hao believed that Chang 'an had a specialized foreign affairs organization like the Chamberlain of Dependencies and experts in bird messenger. As long as it was a messenger bird that had appeared in this era, it should not be allowed.
Thus, he thought of the gyrfalcon, a messenger bird that had never been used before in this era!
The gyrfalcon was a falcon that was extremely difficult to tame and become a messenger bird.
However, once they succeeded, their ability to recognize the way was not something that swallows and carrier pigeons could compare to.
The gyrfalcon was half a meter tall, with a wingspan of nearly 1.5 meters. It weighed 2 kilograms and had a huge appetite. However, after a full meal, he would not need to care about it for twenty days.
It flew fast, and it didn't need to climb up in steps. It would soon reach an altitude of 5,000 meters, and only dive down when it reached its destination. It was extremely stealthy.
Most importantly, even if they were discovered, they would not be suspected of being messenger birds!
At that time, Lin Hao didn't have a lot of money left in the system, so he had spent all of it to get this gyrfalcon for him and exchange it for the best messenger bird attribute.
He was more loyal than a farm dog and more familiar with the way than a carrier pigeon.
Why was it that every time Zhangsun Wuji's deposed emissary entered the Yizhou region, he would be 'welcomed' by Lin Hao's people?
Even those who came in disguise were 'welcome'?
Because there was someone in Chang 'an!
Although Hou Wenyuan did not have any official position and was only doing odd jobs in the Ministry of War, he did not have access to specific information.
However, it was still possible to find out when they would set off and which route they would take.
The speed of the cavalry was much slower than the gyrfalcon!
After Lin Hao received the news, he could estimate how long he would arrive and arrange for someone to intercept him in advance.
......
After Hou Wenyuan and Hou Junji returned home, they ate and drank a lot, making Hou Junji dizzy.
Hou Junji said what he should and shouldn't have said, as well as what he suspected.
At the end of Hai Shi, at the beginning of Zi Shi!
After Hou Wenyuan helped his mother get Hou Junji to rest, he returned to his study.
He picked up his brush and started writing." His Majesty has issued an edict for the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court to investigate thoroughly. We must find out who the poet is.”
"The price of your head has increased tenfold this morning. It's worth 100,000 coins. He believed that the arrest warrant with the increased reward would arrive in a few days. Looks like he won't be at ease until he sees your head.”
"I hope my brother will be careful."
"In addition, His Majesty has decided to personally lead the army to attack Tuyuhun. The route of the army is…"
