Five hundred and ninetieth chapters feet do not touch the ground
Zhao Jin was not lying that day, he really had a trump card.
This is the common thought of Zhao Xin and Zhao Zhongsheng.
After Zhao Zhongru saw the battle report and confirmed that what the soldier just said was true, he breathed a sigh of relief, with strong emotions surging in his chest.
He is not with the wrong person. With Zhao Jin's talent, he will definitely be able to bring Zhao country to a height they cannot imagine, and he can also show his ambition!
The news of the great victory on the border, the destruction of Lilong Kingdom, and the triumphant return of the army spread from the court to the Jianghu on that day, arousing cheers from the whole Zhao Kingdom!
Zhao Xin was already preparing to leave, but Zhao Jin deliberately stayed behind to wait for the army to return home and attend the celebration banquet.
On the day the army returned, the city gates and streets were almost completely surrounded. Zhao Jin led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet Chen Xiao at the city gate.
This was Chen Xiao's first time leading troops on an expedition. Zhao Jin looked at Chen Xiao who turned over and dismounted from his horse to salute, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
The other party is already quite different from before.
In the past, Chen Xiao was like a hedgehog wrapped in sharp thorns, with an unsheathed sword without any idea of restraining its edge.
At a glance, he is full of sharpness, unruliness and hostility.
Now, Chen Xiao is still sharp and sharp, but he is much calmer and more restrained than before. Like a long sword that has been half sheathed, it still has the edge, but it is no longer sharp and piercing.
He went from being an indomitable general to a marshal capable of commanding the three armies.
All civil and military officials were keenly aware of Chen Xiao's change. Everyone's expressions were different, but Ma Yan's expression was obviously darkened.
"Get up quickly." Zhao Jin held Chen Xiao's arm and pulled him up, not letting him complete the ceremony.
"Well done!"
Chen Xiao grinned and raised one eyebrow uninhibitedly, "That's natural."
In an instant, the calm and restrained general's talents disappeared without a trace, and the banditry and unruliness were revealed again.
Zhao Jin couldn't laugh or cry.
Everyone chatted at the city gate for a while, and then moved on to the celebration banquet held in the palace.
Because the protagonists of this banquet were these soldiers who had just returned in triumph, Zhao Jin specially ordered people to prepare enough fine wines, and did not bother them, and turned the elegant banquet in the palace into a noisy celebration banquet in the military camp.
Many civil servants frowned in discomfort, but because of the great achievements these people had made, they didn't say much.
But at the banquet, the civil and military officials discovered something.
The relationship between Prince Ning and Chen Xiao is so good?!
Chen Xiao and Zhao Xingzhi sat down to have a drink together.
At first, the courtiers thought that they were just as conflicted as the rumors, and that the reason for the wine fight was because King Ning couldn't stand Chen Xiao's proud appearance after returning home in triumph. New
Who knew that as they drank more and more and became more and more drunk, the two of them started to hug each other.
This, where are the contradictions?
Those aristocratic families who did not dare to take action against Zhao Jin because of the reform of the imperial examination, but wanted to take action against Prince Ning, saw this scene and gave up their thoughts.
No matter how they arouse the vulgarity of the generals, they are usually not willing to provoke these generals unless necessary. Besides, Chen Xiao is also a general with great merits.
Because these military generals don't know how to be polite before fighting. When you can't reach an agreement, or when you get anxious, they will dare to fight you at the court meeting.
Confucian generals like Qi Jiahan dared to be a little more arrogant, but with Chen Xiao, who had an obviously bad temper, the civil servants really didn't dare to have any evil thoughts.
Don't risk your life when the time comes.
After a celebration banquet, some people were happy and some were sad, but Zhao Jin and others were all happy.
After the celebration banquet, Zhao Xin did not dare to stay in Bianzhou City any longer and hurried back to the feudal state.
The King of China did not dare to take any action for the time being. After the news of establishing the Long Kingdom and destroying it spread, the surrounding neighboring countries also suppressed their inner thoughts.
No one wants to be the second founder of Long Kingdom
, Now that the morale of the Zhao State is at its peak, no one is willing to be the one who stands out and touches this brow.
After Zhao Jin found teachers for Zhao Zhongru and Zhao Zhongsheng, he and Zhao Xingzhi were also busy with the scientific examination.
He returned to his previous state of not touching the ground.
As time goes by, the government examination is over, and the time for the general examination is getting closer.
All eyes of the Zhao State were focused on the first joint examination after the reform of the imperial examination.
There is only half a month until the trial date.
At this time, Zhao Jin and Prince Ning had already discussed the examination questions with several selected important ministers and well-known old scholars.
In Bianzhou City, the scholars who came from all over the country to take part in the examination had basically arrived, making Bianzhou City crowded.
Restaurants, inns, and studies were all crowded by the scholars.
Unlike in the past where all the clothes were splendid and embroidered, this time the number of gorgeous clothes and cold robes was almost the same.
"Hey, why have you been so happy these past two days?"
Two good friends went to the inn side by side, and the taller one asked in a low voice.
When the shorter scholar heard this, he looked around and made sure no one was paying attention to them before he lowered his voice and said, "Of course this is a good thing."
He hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and gritted his teeth.
"Well, come to my room and I'll tell you what a happy event it is!"
"Is it such an exaggeration?" The tall scholar was the first to ask. At that time, he just asked casually. He never thought that he could ask about a happy event.
The other party was questioned and his eyes widened slightly, "Of course!"
It happened that his room had already arrived, so he simply pulled his friend into the room, and when he bolted the door, he looked around carefully.
"So mysterious?"
The tall scholar couldn't help but become a little nervous. He licked his lips and couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
"Of course!"
The short scholar drank tea for himself first, and then took out a roll from the box under the eyes of his friends.
When he got closer, the tall scholar realized that it was not a roll, but a paper tube.
"What is this?"
Seeing that the other party cared so much for this thing and even used his clothes to wipe it, the tall scholar became more and more curious.
The short scholar carefully unfolded the paper tube and placed it in front of the two of them, "Look."
The friend came over and took a closer look. What were written on it were some questions?
"What, what is this?" When he said this, his heart beat violently. He had a vague suspicion, but he couldn't believe it.
But the other party chuckled and confirmed the tall man's guess, "You guessed it right, these are the test questions that I know how to test."
My friend's breathing became rapid for a moment, "Are you crazy?!"
"If I fail the exam again, I will really go crazy!" The scholar's eyes became much more terrifying. This chapter has been completed!
