Chapter 708 The matter of the imperial examination is as fierce as a tiger

The white knife exerted force with his right foot, and his body slammed towards Sister Qin, Sister Qin did not panic, and as soon as the soft sword was sent forward, the person moved two steps to the left. The two fought quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they separated again. Bai Dao frowned deeply, this was the first time she had fought with Sister Qin, and when she started it, she found that Sister Qin was so difficult.

"Bai Yinlu, you can't keep me, if you're dissatisfied with me, go find my young lady. Otherwise, you don't have to worry about so many nosy things, is it true that I Zhou Ziqin is good with which man, do you want to take care of it? "Sister Qin played a sword flower and turned over on the horse.

Bai Dao watched Sister Qin walk away, but there was no way at all, as Sister Qin said, the power of Yunliu Pavilion only listens to the red-clothed, if you can't find the red-clothed again, then the people of Yunliu Pavilion will also be taken away by Fang Yiai. Stomping his feet, the white knife slashed into the air twice angrily, it was the bastard's bereavement, and he didn't know what kind of witchcraft it was, and he actually fascinated Zhou Ziqin. It's really weird, when did Zhou Ziqin like little men this time?

Sister Qin is not as free as the white knife, she is now thinking about the matter of the red clothes, what is going on with this young lady, obviously it is so related to Fang Yiai, why don't you tell her. What's strange is that she has disappeared for so long, and she doesn't give Yunliuge news, nor does she give Fang Yiai news, what is she busy with?

The morning sun brushes the face. The time spent in Luozhou is not short, so Fang Yiai plans to leave for Chang'an today, before leaving, he specially told the matter of going down the oil well, Guo Liang dare not care, and as soon as Fang Yiai left, he sent thousands of soldiers to Kunwu Town.

It's March now, and Fang Yiai can already feel a little warm, the only thing that is unpleasant is that in March, the wind is a little strong. After returning to Chang'an City, Fang Yiai came directly to the house, sometimes he had to admire Tuoba Xiyue's face, although there was a husband and wife, but the man had to come to the door first. But Tuoba Xiyue was different, she didn't go home, but came directly to the house with her bereaved love, and came to the West Cross Courtyard, and she also brought Changle a cup of tea intentionally or unintentionally.

For this situation, Fang Yiai directly pretended not to see it, and finally simply found a reason to run to the back garden. Changle couldn't understand it, but she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, having Zheng Liwan at home was enough to give people a headache, and now that there was another Tuoba cherishing month, it would be even more worry-free.

In the back garden, Fang Yiai looked at the rockery in the middle, and more than a dozen craftsmen were busy building flower ponds. Fang Yiai looked left and right, and felt that this flower pond was a little awkward, it was knee-high, was it a little high? Thinking about the fountain in later generations, Fang Yiai slapped his forehead and secretly screamed stupid.

"Hey, guys, stop and tear down this flower pond in two layers, don't make it so high!" Fang Yiai put his hands behind his back and bent over, like a construction leader.

A certain craftsman, no matter how dirty his hands were, raised his hand and touched his forehead, "Second son, is this still high?" If it goes any lower, won't the water overflow? ”

"Hey, Ben Gongzi, what you want is the water overflowing, it's okay, you just do what I say!" Fang Yiai has already thought about it, and after a while, make a sewer around it, and spread iron sheets with holes on it, so that there is no fear of water overflowing.

The craftsmen couldn't, so they had to tear down the freshly made flower pond in two layers. Fang Yiai was not idle, thinking about the appearance of the iron piece, he wanted to find someone to go to the blacksmith shop to make it custom.

Over the years, Fang Quan feels that this day is getting better and better, and since he has been with the second son for a while, his Fang Quan's horizons have also increased a lot. No, while I'm free, I'll blow it with a few girls.

"Lin Zhi, isn't it my brother's bragging, have you ever seen a fish bigger than a boat? Hey, my brother has seen it, the second young master got one from the Weishui River, and when he saw the fish for the first time, it frightened me, the fish's mouth was bigger than the door, and it was no problem to swallow seven or eight people! "Fang Quan has never seen any big fish, but he believes what the second son said, that is, if you want to pick up girls, you have to be bold and thick-skinned, and this bragging skin can be regarded as a manifestation of bold and thick-skinned, right?

The little girl named Lin Zhi held her little face and looked at Fang Quan with admiration, "Brother Quan, really, can you also take your little sister to see the world in the future?" ”

Fang Quan looked at the big tree above his head with an embarrassed face, pinched his chin and pretended, "Hey, no, Lin Zhi, what you don't know, the affairs of the second young master of our family are all top secrets, and they generally can't be known to outsiders." Well, if it's your own person, it's a different story. ”

"Uh, what do you call your own people, we are all people from the house, don't you call yourself your own people?" Lin Zhi's little head is no match for Fang Quan.

As soon as they heard Lin Zhi's words, Fang Quan and the two of them were stunned, and hummed unhappily, "Can it be the same, now I am Fang Quan's personal servant of the second young master, close-fitting, do you understand." If you want to become your own person, you have to become the second young master's personal maid, but you also know the situation of our family, even if you want to, the second young master will not look down on you, but well, you can consider the whole brother. You see, Brother Quan is now a celebrity next to our second young master, walking on the street, who dares not to give face. ”

Fang Yiai's head was a little numb when he heard it, this dead room is full, isn't this ruining the reputation of someone in his room. Walking over in three or two steps, he shook his hand and slammed the back of his head twice.

"Brother Quan, you're okay, when did you break so badly?" Fang Yiai glared at Fang Quan, turned his head and smiled at Lin Zhi, "Lin Zhi, from today onwards, you will be the second-class manager of our house." ”

Lin Zhi's little girl's eyes were dark, she scratched her head, tilted her head and whispered, "Second young master, what is this second-class manager doing?" ”

"It's very simple, specialize in managing the whole house, as long as you are in the house in the future, the whole house will have to listen to you, if he doesn't listen to you, you can tell Mrs. or tell me, see if this son doesn't fix him!"

Fang Yiai smiled viciously, as soon as his words fell, several maids all covered their mouths and laughed, and the little girl in Linzhi bowed down and bowed, "Haha, thank you Second Young Master, you are really a good person!" ”

"You still need to say this, when did this son break down?" Fang Yiai patted his chest unashamedly, and there was a bitter gourd face next to Fang Quan.

Coaxed a few girls apart, Fang Yiai took Fang Quan aside, "Fang Quan, don't pretend to be pitiful with my son, you remember it now, and go to Lao Liu in the south of the city in a while." Let him hit some round iron sheets, remember, add some furrows to the iron sheets, to breathe, understand? ”

"Understood, it's the same piece of iron that made the foundation last time, isn't it?" As soon as Fang Quan heard it, he could go out and pretend to be an uncle, and his bitter gourd face disappeared immediately.

Fang Yiai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this Fang Quan to be quite clever, patted him on the shoulder, Fang Yiai said nonsense, "Fang Quan, work hard, and when I see the opportunity in the future, my son will say a word to the old lady, how about letting her promise Lin Zhi to you?" ”

"Oh, Second Young Master, don't say it, from now on, the little ones will listen to you!" Fang Quan was overjoyed, thumping his chest. Fang Yiai's love is that cold, I really served the whole house, didn't I blow the sky just now, why would this be such a bear bag.

I don't know what happened in the court, the old man came back very late tonight, and Fang Yiai still wanted to talk to the old man about the imperial examination, but he could only stay after the meal.

When he came to the study, before Fang Yiai could speak, the old man had already spoken, "Jun'er, you should prepare more in the past two days, and after a while, the envoys of many countries will enter the Beijing court, and Your Majesty plans to let you be this welcoming envoy!" ”

It's no problem to be a greeting envoy, but it's a little bit wrong with Fang Yiai, it is said that the envoys of many countries enter the court, at least once every three years, why did they come this time only two years?

"Father, why is this, Zhenguan has just finished the thirteenth year of the court, and now it has been less than two years, why did he come again?" Fang Yiai asked.

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard, and said with a smile of relief, "Jun'er doesn't know, the Khitan has recently clashed with the Murowei people, and my Datang Dynasty won Gaochang and Yueshi last year, these barbarians naturally want to explore the tone of our dynasty." ”

"Huh? Father, the Murwei and the Khitans really fought? Fang Yiai frowned a little puzzled, if there was a conflict between the Khitan and the Murwei people, why didn't there be news from the intelligence department? For the intelligence department under the leadership of Zheng Liwan, Fang Yiai still has 10,000 hearts, and she will never miss such important matters.

As if he saw the doubts in Fang Yi's love, Fang Xuanling said loudly, "The Wei people in that room didn't really do anything, they just gathered heavy troops in the north, so it's not surprising that you don't know about this." If it weren't for the Khitan leader Brother Gu taking the initiative to pass the message, my Datang would not have known about it. ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling say this, Fang Yizhi on the side laughed straightly, "Father, it seems that this cave brother is planning to let our Datang do his part for him!" ”

"That's true, but I'm not so easy to fall for him. However, I still have to help, it depends on what benefits Brother Cave can give me Datang! ”

Fang Xuanling saw it really, but there was a relaxed look on his face, which was also where Fang Xuanling admired the old man. Seeing that the old man had finished speaking, Fang Yiai wanted to bring up the matter of the imperial examination, he scratched his head, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, you must know that the matter of the imperial examination is not a joke, if you can't tell a reason, you are likely to be scolded by the old man for being bloody.

Fang Xuanling is such a person, looking at Fang Xuanling's embarrassed appearance, he squinted and smiled, "Jun'er, do you have something to say to your father?" ”

"Yes, father, the child wants to discuss something with you. Some time ago in Luozhou, the child inadvertently thought of the imperial examination system of the previous dynasty, no matter what the previous dynasty was, the child felt that this imperial examination system can still benefit future generations of good things! ”

"Imperial examinations?" Fang Xuanling's pair of gray eyebrows frowned tightly, Rao was that he had experienced so many ups and downs, and he was also shocked by Fang Xuanling's words.

"Jun'er, are you stunned, how could you think of the imperial examination?" Fang Xuanling frowned and shook his head, he felt that there was no hope for this kind of thing, just now in this court, let alone the implementation of the imperial examination, it is estimated that as soon as it is proposed, it will be nipped in the bud. If anyone will support the imperial examination, I'm afraid it is only His Majesty, but can His Majesty do it alone, and isn't it the people below who will finally implement the imperial examination?

Fang Yiai knew that Fang Xuanling was this reaction, and at this time, he was not so flustered, "Father, after you listen to the child, the matter of the imperial examination is very difficult. But what if the imperial examination system is implemented under the existing rules? ”

"What does it mean to implement it under the established rules?" Fang Xuanling was a little interested, he felt that this second son was not the kind of person who had no purpose.

"Actually, it's very simple, that is, now the hereditary titles of the dukes and marquis are replaced, and the descendants of the family can also inherit the five grades. Later, those who ascended to the throne after the imperial examination acted in accordance with the new rules of the imperial examination, so would there be so much opposition in the imperial court? ”

"This" Fang Xuanling thought about it carefully, and there was a hint of brilliance in his eyes, wonderful, in this way, if the interests of those court officials are not moved, will they still oppose it, even if they do not support the imperial examination, they will also remain neutral.

After thinking about it for a long time, Fang Xuanling gently tightened his fists, he felt that this matter was very feasible! (To be continued.) )
