The summary of the Dachao meeting is that they will continue to develop, suck the blood of the grasslands, train soldiers, and be ready to send troops to wipe out Tuyuhun. Of course, only some people will know about the task of wiping out Tuyuhun. This kind of thing needs to be kept secret before the official movement of troops.
The six ministers of the political hall performed their respective duties and continued to assist the emperor in handling government affairs. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Rites prepared for the imperial examination, the Ministry of Personnel continued to rectify the administration of officials, the Ministry of Civil Affairs counted the world's population and acres, the Ministry of Punishment improved criminal laws, the Ministry of War calculated wars, and the Ministry of Work built bridges, paved roads and dug digs.
The canal opened the river. After that, the nine temples, the governor's offices, prefectures, and counties also performed their respective duties.
Changle Hall.
“So beautiful!”
Jinyang was holding a snow-white pure-color cat. This cat was a child of different colors, one blue and one gold, which was really strange. The little girl looked at it with stars in her eyes.
"This cat's name is Chi Yuxiao Feilian. I asked someone to buy it from Hu Shang from the Western Regions." Li Zhiyun explained with a smile while looking at the imperial examination papers sent by the 'Proposition Group'.
After seeing a kangaroo, Jinyang was obsessed with raising one. Every time he met his daughter, he would be nagged about, which gave him a headache, so he had someone buy this cat for her to raise.
Empress Yang poured tea for the emperor, glanced at the cat, and asked with interest: "Husband, why do you call it Chiyuxiaofeilian?"
"My whole body is snow-white, clean and transparent." Li Zhiyun explained simply.
"That's true." Queen Yang smiled slightly, and then looked at Jinyang, "Why are you so stupid and happy? Why don't you thank Your Majesty."
Before Jin Yang could speak, Li Zhiyun waved his hand, "Okay, let's go down and play."
"Hehe, thank you, Father." The little girl jumped out with the cat in her arms, and several palace maids quickly followed.
"Your Majesty, please don't spoil her too much."
"You discipline her and I pamper her, it's the same." Li Zhiyun said.
Hearing this, Empress Yang laughed and said, "The bad guys let me do what I do, right?"
Li Zhiyun chuckled, "I'm not stopping you from pampering her."
"Forget it, I don't dare to bear the charge of teaching fault."
There is no conflict between Emperor Zhenguan's pampering of the princess and Empress Yang's discipline of the princess, because often the emperor would not interrupt when the queen was disciplining her.
"By the way, is there Miss Sanniang?" Queen Yang asked.
"Yes." Li Zhiyun said: "How dare I forget her, otherwise I would be upset by her crying."
"Giggle." Queen Yang couldn't help it, covering her mouth and snickering.
The third lady is the third princess Pixiu. Currently, the emperor only has three daughters, namely Princess Yongning, Princess Jinyang, and the newly canonized little princess.
The little princess, whose nickname is Pixiu and whose eldest name is Li Ruyu, is the daughter of Concubine Yang Shu. She was born in the ninth year of Wude. She is now six years old and has passed the dangerous age of premature death.
Li Zhiyun canonized her as Princess Yunyang.
Yunyang was young, and his temperament was not like that of Jin Yangye. He would shed tears easily, so Emperor Zhenguan did not dare to make this little guy cry.
"What about Yongning?"
"Of course there are." Li Zhiyun read one test paper, wrote down his opinions, and then continued to read the second one.
The Chang'an exam, which is held every three years, will be held in February. When the news came out, Chang'an and Guanzhong were the first to be excited.
Last time, Han Yuan and Wang Dezhen, the first batch of welfare recipients, are now county magistrates with unlimited futures. Who wouldn’t be excited about this!

"Are you two interested in participating in this imperial examination?"
Indoors, three people were sitting on their knees, sipping fragrant tea.
Apart from Yang Gongren and Ma Zhou, the remaining person was Shangguan Yi. After going round and round, Shangguan Yi was favored by Yang Gongren and became his friend. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Shangguan Yi gradually became fairer and fairer.
Some grace.
"You Shao, what do you think?" Ma Zhou asked.
Shangguan Yi, courtesy name You Shao.
Shangguan Yi was not pretentious and said bluntly: "Although I am interested, I can only wait until next time to participate."
"You Shao didn't take the county or state exam, so he decided to wait until next time?" Yang Gongren asked.
"Yes." Shangguan Yi nodded. He was drifting on the sea before, so how could he have the chance to participate in the county and state examinations.
Ma Zhou smiled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of warm tea.
"Then why don't you ask Yang Xiang?"
"What do you mean?" Shangguan Yi was confused.
Yang Gongren said: "Your Majesty gave me a recommendation quota, and I can directly recommend one person to participate in the big exam."
"That's it." Shangguan Yi didn't ask for details. This kind of thing can be understood with a little thought, so there is no need to delve into it.
He said: "What about Brother Ma?"
"Me?" Ma Zhou clicked his tongue, "I..."
"You don't want to participate, right?" Yang Gongren interrupted him, pretending to be angry: "I gave you a drink, and this is how you repay me?"
"But I didn't take the county or state exam either, and you only have one spot."
"You just need to tell me if you want to participate."
Ma Zhou paused and nodded heavily.
"think!"
An official career is a man's dream.
A temptation no one can refuse.
"In that case, next, you should prepare well for the exam, and I will prepare it for you."
After saying this, Yang Gongren stood up and left.
Looking at Yang Gongren's back, Shangguan Yi sighed: "Now, I really owe a favor to an adult."
"There will be a chance to pay it back." Ma Zhou smiled nonchalantly and said: "Compared to such trivial matters, I am more surprised by the sage's arrangements for the imperial examination. Although some people have directly recommended quotas to participate in the big examination
, but it's just an opportunity. If you don't get 200 points in the big exam, it won't be taken seriously by the court.
The selection of talents is all in the hands of the sage."
"Yeah." Shangguan Yi said: "I heard that the imperial examination covers astronomy and geography, and is not limited to one article or one book. It is really difficult."
"If this is not the case, how to get talents?" Ma Zhou said: "This is also the reason why the sage decided to let the top three scholars with more than 200 points enter the six departments to observe politics."
The benefits are naturally attractive, but whether you can get them or not depends entirely on your ability.
"No, I have to find some test papers from the first major exam and write some." Shangguan Yi couldn't sit still, stood up, bowed his hands, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Ma Zhou also shook his head and sang a ballad softly.
Duke Cai's Mansion.
"Mr. Yang, you are a rare guest, please take a seat quickly."
"Ke Ming is welcome."
The two of them sat down, the maid served tea and quietly left.
After sipping tea, we talked nonsense and gradually got down to business.
"I came here not for anything else but to ask for one thing." Yang Gongren said.
"What's the matter? It's okay for Mr. Yang to say it."
"I came here for the recommended quota in Keming's hands."
"Do you really want it?" Du Ruhui said in surprise: "I thought you were joking outside the Tai Chi Hall last time."
"It's not a joke." Yang Gongren said seriously: "There are two talented people, and I really can't bear for them to miss this grand event."
Hearing this, Du Ruhui did not ask who those two people were, but silently stroked his beard and pondered.
In fact, anyone can be recommended for the quota they have, as long as they are not scholars who oppose His Majesty the Emperor.
But the question is, why should I help you?
Du Ruhui thought to himself that his relationship with Yang Gongren was just average.
As if he had guessed what Du Ruhui was thinking about, he said: "If Keming is willing to help me this time, then I owe Keming a favor. I will pay it back one day."
The price was not low, and Du Ruhui was a little surprised.
"Who can make Yang Xiang value him so much?"
"Two talented people."
Seeing how tightly Yang Gongren was covering up, Du Ruhui didn't ask for details and said, "Okay, can you let me think about it for a few days?"
"Of course you can. There is still some time before the big exam." Yang Gongren said.
If Du Ruhui is willing to give up and consider it, Yang Gongren is sure to get the spot.
