Great Wei scholar

When five words appeared, Xu Qingxiao was a little curious, but did not speak and waited for Zhou Ling to write down.

"Qingxiao, Xinghe, this time I have studied for my teacher for dozens of days, and I even discussed it with a few classmates a few days ago. If there is no accident, the questions for this year's government examination should be these five questions."

Zhou Ling was quite confident.

Betting on a question is actually a technical job. If you win the bet, you will get twice the result with half the effort. It doesn't matter if you fail the bet.

The two didn't speak, but nodded, and their eyes fell on these five questions.

And Zhou Ling didn't hold back, and spoke directly.

"The female emperor's ascension to the throne is a legend of the ages. The Great Wei Dynasty was founded in 740 and the country was prosperous. However, the emergence of a new dynasty is a variable."

"Since ancient times, there has never been a woman proclaiming the emperor. There are dissatisfaction in the court. Outside the temple, there are also many voices of opposition, especially the common people, who are easy to be controlled."

"In today's world of demons and monsters, everyone in the world believes that the empress's ascension to the throne has brought about unknown events. Therefore, for His Majesty today, he needs a policy of peace and control to control the country. Otherwise, rumors will spread, people will be panicked, and the fate of the country will be blocked."

"The reason why I am so confident as a teacher is because the test papers of this government must be presented in Kyoto. This kind of treatment is only available to Jingke. However, Jingke still needs to wait for half a year."

"Your Majesty can't wait, that's why it happened."

Zhou Ling opened his mouth, every word is pearly.

He thought about the emperor's thoughts from the perspective of the country, and at the same time speculated on the questions of the government exam from the perspective of entering Beijing.

It can be said that this view is reasonable.

Xu Qingxiao nodded, approving every word Zhou Ling said.

Jiang is worthy of being old and spicy, with clear thinking.

"The strategy for rejuvenating the country is to prepare questions. Since His Majesty the Higher Majesty has conquered the frontiers seven times, the treasury is empty, and all industries are waiting to be flourished. Although the safety of the country is important, the rejuvenation of the country is still important. You should also pay attention to this."

Zhou Ling said that Xingguo is his candidate. According to the order, it is naturally not as important as Anguo. What the emperor needs now is to stabilize the country. How can it prosper if it is not stable?

Xu Qingxiao looked at Xingguo. During this time, he had also familiarized himself with many history books, especially those about modern times.

In the third year of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty in 740, the Taizu founded the country, and three generations of Wudi were born in succession. They conquered year after year, establishing the prestige of the Great Wei, attacking from outside and attacking from inside.

Then there were five generations of Emperor Wen, who governed the country, stabilized the country and prospered business, and made the economy develop rapidly. It was precisely because of the birth of the Five Emperor Wen that the military generals of the Great Wei Dynasty were suppressed, and the civil officials were prominent.

The end of advocating culture and suppressing martial arts will always be bad. The border has repeatedly made mistakes. The Emperor Wen of the Five Dynasties all used the method of leniency to assimilate, but it is a pity that wolves are not familiar with it.

The invasion of the frontier caused the 'Shame of Jingcheng', and the northern barbarians almost came to Kyoto. If it weren't for the strong foundation of the Wei Dynasty, and the massacre of the barbarians, it aroused the anger of gods and men, and all the sects also came to help. I'm afraid that I really want to enter the capital.

One year after the shame of Jingcheng, the eighth emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Jiankang, passed away, and the ninth emperor was ushered in, who was also an emperor full of miracles.

Because the emperor was born of a concubine, not a queen, but a concubine.

Theoretically, he could not be an emperor at all, but because of the shame of Jingcheng, Emperor Jiankang knew that Wei needed a Emperor Wu, and the people all over the world also knew that Wei needed an Emperor Wu, and all civil and military officials also knew that Wei needed an Emperor Wu.

So this concubine prince miraculously succeeded to the throne, and his country name was Wu Yuan.

Taking Wu as the country name is enough to show his courage.

In the next 50 years, Emperor Wu Yuan really supported the backbone of the Great Wei Dynasty. He personally conquered seven times and went to the Northern Expedition seven times. He killed an unknown number of barbarians.

However, it is a pity that due to years of expeditions, I do not know how many injuries he suffered, and he left the court for a long time. After returning from the defeat of the seventh Northern Expedition, he became suspicious.

In addition, the Great Wei Dynasty had seven Northern Expeditions, and the backbone was there, but the money was gone, the treasury was empty, and the tax revenue was rising every year, so that the people were in dire straits.

The most direct is the salary of officials, and the monthly salary of government servants is one tael of silver, which is the lowest salary since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Just a year ago, Emperor Wu Yuan passed away, leaving a huge mess behind.

The first half of Emperor Wu's life can be described as a great achievement, how passionate was the seven Northern Expeditions?How bold is it?

But the second half of his life is regrettable, loyal and evil are not distinguished, suspicion is everywhere, innocent people are killed indiscriminately, self-willed, and finally posthumously named Wufa.

It has the meaning of the Northern Expedition, but also has the meaning of viciousness. In a word, after the event, future generations will comment.

And Emperor Wu Yuan still has another problem, this problem is that he has no heirs, to be precise, he has no sons, only one daughter.

I thought that the important officials of the court would choose one from other vassals or the royal family to inherit the throne.

But what people in the world did not expect was that the only daughter of Emperor Wu Yuan, who was just over 24 years old, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Attracted the world one after another.

The reason why Zhou Ling chose [Xingguo] as an alternative was because Emperor Wuyuan's seven Northern Expeditions emptied the treasury.

So there's a good chance this will be the title.

Corresponding to the recent history books, Xu Qingxiao understood why Zhou Ling prepared this topic.

Afterwards, Zhou Ling pointed to the next three questions.

"The vassal king, the border gate, and the monster. The probability of these three questions appearing is not very high, but they may appear."

"Since Emperor Wuyuan ascended the throne, the vassals from all over the country have cultivated their offspring Chongwu, which has now caused a series of questions, which may appear in the test questions."

"There is no need to say anything more at the border. The chaos at the border will never change. It is difficult to put down the chaos if the family is not destroyed, but it is as difficult as going to the sky to destroy the family."

"This chaos of monsters is related to different arts, but theoretically it will not be the subject of this."

Zhou Ling pointed to the last three questions.

In fact, he wanted to explain these three questions well, but he was powerless.

Whether it is a vassal king, a border gate, or a monster, it is far away from him, the government affairs of the court, the important military affairs, it is not bad for him as a scholar to know a thing or two, but he certainly does not know what it is.

As for monsters, let alone, there are special agencies to deal with them, and I don't understand.

After all, he is just a teacher. He knows a lot of important national affairs, but he only knows it. It is considered pretty good to be able to deduce five topics with this amount of information.

Xu Qingxiao absorbed these information points seriously.

Yet at this moment.

A voice sounded outside.

"May I ask if Xu Qingxiao is inside?"

"Master Cheng of Nanyu Mansion welcomes you."

sounded.

It broke the tranquility of this side.

Chapter 23: Brother, why don't you ask, is Cheng Lidong afraid of me?

A sudden sound disturbed the silence here.

Zhou Ling frowned slightly, not knowing what happened.

And Xu Qingxiao frowned a little.

"Is this guy still dead?"

Xu Qingxiao murmured in his heart, thinking that Master Cheng would die in Ping'an County, but he was still alive.

It seems that the fugitives from Nanyu Mansion are nothing more than that.

Putting away the thoughts in his heart, Xu Qingxiao walked out, but Zhou Ling and Chen Xinghe also came out together.

Go outside the door.

Xu Qingxiao opened the door.

Sure enough, the arresters of Nanyu Mansion stood neatly outside the door. There were eight of them in total, wearing arresting clothes and long knives, with stern eyes, and the leader was the hooked-nosed man.

His expression is also the same as before, giving people the feeling of being very sinister, not a good stubble.

"I have seen your Excellency."

"I don't know what Master Cheng wants me for?"

Xu Qingxiao bowed to the other party and asked.

"How can we subordinates know about your lord's affairs, please come with us."

The latter obviously didn't want to reveal anything, as if he was doing business.

"May I go home first?"

Xu Qingxiao spoke slowly and made a request.

"My lord is still waiting, so don't delay."

The latter's tone was cold and he didn't give any face.

Xu Qingxiao was a little embarrassed, but before he could continue speaking, Chen Xinghe's voice sounded.

"Which adult invited me? It really is a great official authority."

Chen Xinghe took a step forward, stood beside Xu Qingxiao, staring at the hooked nose, his expression was cold and a little arrogant, as if he didn't take him seriously.

Hearing Chen Xinghe's voice, Yinggoubi noticed the two people behind Xu Qingxiao.

He glanced at Chen Xinghe, he was dressed in a brocade robe, he was a scholar.

But he didn't seem particularly surprised, but said calmly.

"Nanyu Mansion, try a hundred households, Cheng Lidong, Master Cheng."

The hooked nose opened, revealing Cheng Lidong's identity.

Quasi-hundred households?

This is an official position from the seventh rank, and he can be regarded as a big man in Nanyu Mansion, and he can also be a domineering existence in Ping'an County.

The county magistrate is seventh-rank, and his official position is higher than that of Cheng Lidong, but the only difference is that one is managed by the county magistrate, while Cheng Lidong is a special agency responsible for handling cases and arresting people.

The grade is half a grade lower, but the power is greater than that of the county magistrate, and the higher authorities naturally have privileges in handling cases.

Xu Qingxiao really didn't expect that Master Cheng turned out to be a quasi-hundred household. He had guessed it was a headhunter before, but he didn't expect it to be a quasi-hundred household.

"Quasi-hundred households?"

Chen Xinghe muttered to himself, then looked at Xu Qingxiao and said, "Qingxiao, senior brother will go with you."

He opened his mouth without any fear of targeting Baihu, on the contrary, he took the initiative to go with Xu Qingxiao to see what the other party was going to do.

As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao's heart warmed up. Chen Xinghe accompanied him there, just to support himself and avoid being bullied.

But Cheng Lidong found out that he was involved in strange arts, Xu Qingxiao still didn't want Chen Xinghe to go into the muddy water, so he was a little euphemistic.

"Brother Xinghe, I can go alone, the other party is from the Yamen, so it's not easy to deal with."

Xu Qingxiao said kindly, Chen Xinghe is a scholar after all, it's okay to use his pen and ink, but if he really went to the yamen, he might not be able to accept it.

But when he said this, Chen Xinghe seemed very indifferent.

"Does Junior Brother think I'm afraid of them?"

He asked calmly.

Xu Qingxiao didn't answer, it wasn't because he was afraid or not, after all, he was a quasi-hundred-household official of the seventh rank, and he was also a law enforcement officer, and everyone was ruthless.

Chen Xinghe was just a scholar, he didn't even have any fame, so he was naturally worried.

Seeing that Xu Qingxiao didn't speak, Chen Xinghe felt a little unhappy.

"Qingxiao, senior brother asks you, is Cheng Lidong human?"

Chen Xinghe asked.

It's just that after saying this, the faces of the hooked nose and the others became a little unsightly.

What do you mean by that?Swear?

But they are not easy to get angry, after all, there is no substantive insult.

"Yes."

Xu Qingxiao also didn't understand what his senior brother was going to do.

In these ten days of contact, Xu Qingxiao's only feeling for his senior brother is that he is relatively cold and arrogant, and has a good heart, but he can't hide his arrogance.

"Isn't that all right?"

"He Cheng Lidong is a human being, and I, Chen Xinghe, are also human beings. He Cheng Lidong is an official, and I, Chen Xinghe, am a scholar. Why don't you ask me, is Cheng Lidong afraid of me?"

Chen Xinghe's face was cold, and his eyebrows were even more proud.
