Zheng Yuanshu had been waiting for Yuan Junzhang to come to him in Daizhou, but what he was waiting for was not Yuan Junzhang's surrender, but war.

Yuan Junzhang personally led a large army to attack Daizhou again, and Wang Xiaode defeated him again.

Yuan Junzhang was in a very depressed mood after attacking Daizhou twice in a row.

Seeing this, Gao Manzheng mentioned the old story again: "The Tang army is strong, and it is a waste of troops to attack Daizhou like this. We should surrender."

Yuan Junzhang looked at him and said nothing.

Gao Manzheng thought he was shaken, so he continued: "The soldiers were very tired of war recently. If this continues, they may not even be able to capture a city.

"Instead of being destroyed by opposing the Tang Dynasty, we should kill the Turkic defenders and surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and we will surely win a bright future."

Yuan Junzhang's face turned pale and his attitude was very firm: "I will not surrender, and you should not persuade me again in the future, otherwise you will be dealt with assault on treason."

Gao Manzheng was disappointed and said with great respect on his face: "Yes, my subordinates obey the order."

Then, Gao Manzheng proposed to sue and returned to his tent.

He sat alone, thinking about the current situation.

Although they relied on Turkic troops to occupy Mayi, they were far inferior to the Tang Dynasty in terms of military strength, territory and people's support.

What's more, Mayi is trapped in war chaos all year round, and the military and civilians are tired of war. If they continue to fight, the soldiers will either die in battle or rebel.

In this case, why not surrender earlier and leave a way out for the Mayi military and civilians?

Thinking of this, Gao Manzheng immediately took action.

Late at night three days later, Gao Manzheng summoned soldiers who were willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and raided Yuan Junzhang.

Caught off guard, Yuan Junzhang was shocked when he received the news of the mutiny. He heard the report from the personal guards that most of the soldiers in the army had rebelled and were rushing to kill him.

He quickly ordered his eldest son to lead his troops to cut off the rear, while he took his second son to escape to the Turkic direction.

There was no suspense in this battle, and Gao Manzheng won a great victory.

Afterwards, Gao Manzheng killed Yuan Junzhang's eldest son and soldiers, and then led his troops back to Mayi, killed the Turkic defenders, and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

After Zheng Yuanshu passed the news back to Chang'an, Li Yuan rewarded Gao Manzheng and ordered him to continue to guard Mayi.

------------

As the War of Unification gradually came to an end, Li Yuan was very proud of himself, and held banquets from time to time, and he also went on trips and had more times.

The entire Chang'an looks prosperous and blooming on the surface.

In March of the sixth year of Wude, the biggest thing in Chang'an was the imperial examination.

On the first day of the exam, Wang Yu disguised himself, got on a carriage and set out from the back door of the Princess' Mansion.

When he arrived near the Gongyuan, Wang Yu jumped out of the carriage and said to Wang Kangda and the others: "Okay, you guys go back quickly and don't be discovered."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the tribute court.

Before she walked far, she saw Doctor Zhang and Yuan Tiangang.

This time, Dr. Zhang did not hide beside him and secretly took the exam, but walked directly to Wang Yu and encouraged her: "You are the first student who graduated from Hongmeng Academy. As a teacher, I believe you will definitely pass the scholarship.

"Don't be nervous during the exam, just keep a normal mind."

Looking at the sweat beads on Doctor Zhang’s forehead, Wang Yu smiled: “I think the one who is most nervous is Master Zhang.”

"Haha..." Yuan Tiangang laughed unceremoniously.

Doctor Zhang glared at him and said to Wang Yu: "Anyway, remember that you have passed the Boy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy C

"Yes, my disciple understands, I won't be nervous." Wang Yu looked at Yuan Tiangang again: "Master Yuan has anything to explain to me?"

Yuan Tiangang pulled his lips: "This is not the first time you have been to the tribute school. What's the point of explaining this? Besides, can you really become an official after you pass the exam?

"It's just a fun game, just be happy."

"What's wrong?" Wang Yu raised his eyebrows and said.

Yuan Tiangang and Doctor Zhang were stunned. What did she mean? Could she really be an official?

But she is a girl's house, how could she enter the court?

Before they could react, Wang Yu waved to them and stepped onto the steps in front of the Gongyuan Gate.

The two looked at each other, and both showed helpless expressions.

The two of them did not leave until Wang Yu's back disappeared at the gate of the Gongyuan.

The eyes hidden in the dark looked at the closed gate of the Gongyuan again, and then raised their heels to Dr. Zhang and Yuan Tiangang in front of them...

In the tribute courtyard, Wang Yu met an acquaintance, that was Han Sheng.

"You are here to take the exam for scholars, too?" Wang Yu was surprised.

Han Sheng is over the age of taking exams in the Boys. After studying at Hongmeng Academy for a while last year, he returned to Yizhou to participate in the exam.

After passing the test, he came to Chang'an as a tribute student at the end of last year, and Wang Yu secretly helped him enter the Imperial College.

She thought Han Sheng would participate in relatively simple subjects, but she didn't expect that like her, he directly chose the most difficult subject - Scholar.

"Why can I come if Li Qilang can come?" Han Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

Wang Yu smiled: "It seems that Brother Han is very confident in this scientific examination, so I wish Brother Han a title."

"I wish Brother Li a good word to you, and I wish you a good wish for the title of the Golden List."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then followed the officials to their own room.

......

After the exam, Wang Yu walked out of the tribute court in a daze.

Doctor Zhang was waiting outside the tribute hospital. When he saw Wang Yu, he immediately walked over: "How are you? Is it okay?"

"Uh..." Wang Yu pressed his temple and walked forward: "Scholars are indeed well-known and have cost me a lot of brain cells..."

Doctor Zhang was stunned: "What's your brain?"

Wang Yu immediately woke up: "Nothing, I mean the topic of scholarship is too difficult, no wonder no one passed the last year."

Then, she looked around again: "By the way, why didn't Master Yuan come?"

"Oh, Old Man Yuan is on duty today and hasn't been left at the yamen yet."

"Oh, then let's go back. I'm sleepy and hungry, I can't do it."

Wang Yu and Doctor Zhang turned into a nearby alley and got into an ordinary carriage.

"Come on, keep up."

After the carriage drove out of the alley, a ox cart immediately followed.

......

Eastern Palace.

Mrs. Hu knelt on the ground and reported respectfully to Guo Liangdi: "According to your instructions, Dalang has been staring at Doctor Zhang.

"That day the tribute school was held, and Dalang saw Dr. Zhang and Taoist Master Yuan see oneself see off a candidate. The candidate's age and appearance should be Li Qilang who framed Shangshu Guo."

Guo Liangdi took out a portrait: "Did that candidate look like this?"

The maid took the portrait and came to Hu, and unfolded it to show her.

While looking at it, Hu nodded and compared his son's description: "It should be this person. After three years, although Li Qilang has grown up, he can still vaguely see his appearance back then."

The maid put away the portrait.

Guo Liangdi raised her hand: "Get up, you can continue talking."

So Hu stood up and continued to report: "Since we saw Li Qilang enter the tribute court that day, we have started to prepare.

"So on the day after the exam, Dalang followed Li Qilang and Doctor Zhang's carriage all the way, without losing it.

"In the end, he saw Li Qilang and Doctor Zhang's carriage entering the Jinyang Princess' Mansion..."
