Chapter 214

Qin Feng did not make a sound and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I will not let Your Highness not cry. People have seven emotions and six desires, sorrow and joy can cry. If a cry can make you feel better, it's okay."

Xiao Lingyao curled her knees under her body and took the veil from his hand: "How can you persuade people like you?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet. Crying is a channel to vent my emotions. A beauties like Your Highness crying is also a sign of weakness and a weapon. Since this is the case, I will not stop Your Highness from crying."

Xiao Lingyao lowered her head, and these words were novel. She reminded herself not to be weak, but today's affairs still broke through her weakness, causing her to shed tears on the spot: "The one who was lying in front of the teahouse today... was originally an old friend."

A bloody red flashed in Qin Feng's eyes. The man ran out of the teahouse and stopped in front of their carriage. Zuo Pingdao took action very quickly. The sharp blade penetrated through the back vest and died on the spot.

Blood splattered through their ears, and when the man was lying on his body, they didn't even see his face clearly.

Zuo Pingdao's move was cruel and implicitly shocked him. Qin Feng was not afraid, but at this moment he heard that it was Xiao Lingyao's old friend, and he felt quite uncomfortable. This kind of feeling of knowing it later will only breed infinite annoyance and regret.

The old friend did not recognize him before, but instead watched him die.

"That person is Yuan Dao, the third deputy of the Navy's ship and machinery." Xiao Lingyao seemed to be trying to engrave the name in his heart: "Zuo Pingdao is so full of fanfare, I have doubts in my heart, and I went to investigate the secret guards to find out the matter."

She finally made up her mind: "I have been in the Navy for more than a year, and the Navy General Chang was entrusted by my mother to take care of me for a year."

Yuan and her spent a year together, but she was young before, and Yuan's changes were also earth-shaking. The two did not recognize each other when they met for the first time. If it weren't for the tower ship made by Qin Qi, they would still have met old friends without knowing each other.

"General Chang's army was strict in governing the army, and his subordinates would be severely punished if they had any unhealthy behavior. Yuan Dao, the third deputy of the ship and equipment, got off the ship and sneaked into the brothel. After being discovered by General Chang, he tied it to the mast and was whipped."

"My sister Yuan'er and I were hiding in the dark to watch the punishment, but he discovered it. Do you know that while he was being whipped, he shouted and asked someone to take us away, saying that he should not scare us. He would always make some things to coax my sister Yuan'er and me when he got off the boat."

Xiao Lingyao's tears overflowed, Uncle Yuan Dao fell down in front of her today.

She didn't know if he recognized her, but she thought that the sharp blade that penetrated his heart should have hurt much more than when he was whipped!

"I have long guessed that Your Highness and the Chang family should be old acquaintances, but the former navy was beaten to be a rebellious crime. Most of the details of this case were covered up. The only things that the outside world knew about were Governor Chang's communication letters with the enemy country, and that someone had seen him interact with people from the enemy country."

"Your Highness still remembers that I said that the man may not be a secret spy from the enemy country, but a stranger. It's just that the former navy did not betray Dongyue and collude with the enemy country." Qin Feng said: "What's the truth back then, can you tell me?"

Xiao Lingyao has been in the palace for many years and has made the consequences clear. She did not speak out directly and asked, "Hongyulou is well-informed. Do you know who is in charge of the navy now?"

"He Yong is currently the governor of the Navy and is from a great family. The He family has been an official for generations and has gone through three dynasties."

"Do you know where is the former navy general?"

"The parents of the governor Chang were farmers, from Tao Township, Pinggu. They participated in the martial arts ranks and entered the officialdom step by step. They were once a model of poor families."

The Dongyue Kingdom also valued civil and military affairs, so there were literary and military examinations.

The martial arts examination is divided into three levels, ex-examination, provincial examination, and palace examination. The main tests are martial arts, shooting, cavalry, sword, sword, etc., but because they want to become officials in the court, some literary examinations also include some literary examinations, but they are different from literary examinations, and the focus is on the strategy of military books.

During the palace examination, the emperor had to personally ask questions to test his adaptability. Even Qin Feng felt that this measure of equal importance to both civil and military affairs was very reasonable. Chang Governor was extremely outstanding in the palace examination, and later he was personally referred to as the top scholar by the emperor.

He was born in a poor family and was once the top scholar. This inspired countless poor families back then. His hometown Taoxiang even set off firecrackers for him for three days to celebrate. No one expected that Governor Chang could bring out the mighty navy, nor did he expect that he would rebel.

Now Taoxiang no longer dares to mention his name, and poor families have long set others as benchmarks.

Since Chang's army commander, he has never produced a top scholar in the poor family. He is also a martial artist, regardless of his writing.

Qin Feng felt moved, and a bold thought arose: "The dispute between the officials and poor families?"

"The family members have been officials for several generations, how can they watch the children of poor families rise to the east?" Xiao Lingyao's tone seemed to be normal: "He led by the Taishi of Tang, the family members conspired to create a case of rebellion in the former navy, causing the Chang family to destroy the family, and the former navy became a criminal master."

"Since then, few poor families have made their way. When the generals of the army were in charge, they strongly promoted poor families. This move was regarded as a thorn in the side of the family and eventually caused him a great disaster. Have you ever thought about why your eldest brother is at the fourth rank of age?"

Qin Feng had already seen through this principle, it was simply because Qin Yun had a grandfather who was the Grand Tutor and the Grand Tutor's father. The back door was open very smoothly. Qin Yun himself was of average qualifications, but because of the former Grand Tutor, the Tang Prime Minister gave him enough face.

After hearing too many compliments, the fakes became true, so Qin Yun thought that he was extremely talented and could go further in the officialdom.

Unfortunately, he is not a truly talented person like Song Qingming. He has been a natural barrier since the fourth rank. Now the prime minister of Tang is no longer the same as before. The prince is in custody, and Qin Zuohuai is in dire straits. Just as he is trying to help the prince lift the ban and regain favor, Qin Yun is unable to be promoted by himself.

It is a pity that in the officialdom, the children of the family like Qin Yun, squeezed the poor family into dismay, and they no longer had the momentum of governor Chang at that time. The carp leaping over the Dragon Gate became a legend.

Qin Feng frowned. Such things are actually normal, so there is no equality born from them. Some people are destined to win at the starting line.

However, the dynasty members occupied major positions, and all of these dynasties also influenced the civil and military science and technology examinations. All the talents promoted every year were from the dynasty members, with only a few poor families, and their official positions were low and they were blocked into irrelevant positions.

Is it because there are no talented men in the poor or the family has taken the elite route since childhood, so many talents have emerged, and people with different opinions.

Thinking that the case of Governor Chang was a dispute between the clan and the poor, and it was also a precedent for the clan to crush the poor, Qin Feng shook his head and sighed. When Xiao Lingyao saw his appearance, he asked back: "You are also a child of the clan, who are you sighing for now?"

"Don't ask the source of a hero. Why do you need to see your origin? Only talent is based on wisdom and wisdom. This is what my minister wants," Qin Feng pointed to the sky: "It's a pity that I am not that person, and what I think does nothing."
