Liu Huan was stunned. The registration for the Mingjing Exam had ended years ago. At this time, it would take a person like the emperor to open his mouth to get a place, but...
He never thought that he would take the Mingjing test this year!
Even if he has been unable to pass the Jinshi examination and finally has to take the Mingjing examination, it will take at least two years, no, one year later, right
There is still more than a month to go before the exam, and he has been traveling for nearly a year. Although Mr. Zhuang often asks him questions, assigns some homework for him, and everyone rides a horse and a car. When bored, they also memorize and play, but...
There is still a gap between candidates who are sitting in the classroom and studying and reviewing seriously, okay
Liu Huan was very heartbroken and wanted to express that he did not want this reward, but when he looked up to meet the emperor's gaze, he could only hold back his tears.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked at each other with sympathy in their hearts. When they were asked, they looked at each other and then lowered their heads to express that they had nothing to ask for.
The emperor asked Bai Shan, "Since you are already a Jinshi, what are your plans for the future?"
Bai Shandao: "I want to take the exams of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials this year. After the exams..."
Bai Shan paused and said: "I want to let you out."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Bai Shan glanced at Bai Erlang and said: "I haven't decided where to go yet."
The emperor looked at Bai Erlang, "What about you?"
Without even thinking about it, Bai Erlang said, "Return to Your Majesty, I will study first, and try to be a Jinshi this year, if I fail the exam, I will take the Mingjing next year, and then I will let it out."
The emperor frowned, "You also want to release it?"
Bai Erlang blinked, a little nervous, "I, can't I play it?"
The emperor stared at him.
Bai Erlang looked at him cautiously, eyes full of confusion.
Bai Shan and Man Bao also lowered their heads, not letting Bai Erlang flinch.
The emperor stared at him for a long while, seeing that he didn't evade or shrink back, he was angry and relieved, and said after a long time: "You pass the exam first, then we can talk about it."
As long as the emperor thought that he was going to be released, and that he might leave the capital with his favorite daughter, he would not be pleasing to the left and right, so he waved them off and said, "Okay, you go and see him." Queen."
In fact, Zhou Man and Bai Er were asked to meet, but since other people are also here, let's meet together.
Bai Erlang anxiously followed Man Bao to the apse, and asked, "Is this the end?"
Man Bao hissed, then glanced at the servant in front of him, and said in a low voice, "We'll talk about it after we leave the palace."
Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu were also there beside the queen. Seeing that the two daughters were happy when they came in, the queen couldn't help smiling, asked them some questions, and let them leave. By the way, Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu to send them.
Once out of the Taiji Hall, Princess Mingda asked the servants to step back, and then she complained to Man Bao: "Why are you so slow? We have been waiting since General Ashina came back, but the result is that you are not waiting until you are not on the right." You won't even arrive."
Man Bao said: "The scenery on the road is so beautiful, and the weather is cold and the road is difficult. We have a lot of luggage, so we are slower."
Changyu immediately asked, "Did you buy a lot of good things back?"
Man Bao winked at her and said, "I've spent all the money you gave us. After a while, I'll send you back to the palace after the news has passed. Or you can go out if you find an opportunity. Then you can still choose."
Chang Yu asked, "What's the noise?"
Man Bao sighed: "It's too much time on the road. I'm afraid someone will impeach me after the seal is opened."
Chang Yule, "It deserves it."
After finishing speaking, she asked again, "Is the father very angry?" She said: "If the father is not angry, this is not a big deal."
Man Bao thought about it carefully, "I was angry at first, but after the little emperor's grandson came, I didn't get very angry."
Ming Da sighed: "Take advantage of the three days before the seal is opened, take advantage of this time to go to Old Master Tang's mansion, don't you have a good relationship with Xiao Tang Master?"
Man Bao looked at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan nodded slightly.
Chang Yu asked: "What reward did the emperor give you?"
Man Bao said: "Yin might get a house, we... we should be sure, Liu Huan got a place in the Ming Jing exam?"
Chang Yu couldn't help looking at Liu Huan, his eyes widened and he asked, "What kind of reward is this?"
Liu Huan said, "How do I know?"
Changyu looked at Man Bao and Bai Shan, and said puzzledly: "Didn't you and Bai Shan pretend to surrender and enter the city to open the gate for the army? You are the first to win the King City of Kucha, not to mention being a Marquis." , it’s still okay to be named uncle or baron?”
Guo Xiao wanted to be named Marquis by virtue of his military exploits in capturing Qiucha, which shows how much credit he had for attacking the city.
Bai Shan and the others are worse than Guo Xiao, but the King City of Kucha is indeed because they have reduced the loss and time of the army. It is a bit difficult to be a marquis for the first achievement, but other titles can be obtained, right
After this battle, General Ashina was awarded the title of Bi Guogong, and at the same time he was given the title of General of the Town Army, which shows his credit and glory.
If General Guo didn't handle things well and lost the city halfway, or the emperor didn't like his actions, he might be given a Marquis in the end.
Changyu looked Zhou Man and Bai Shan up and down, father shouldn't dislike them just because they were late, right
Mingda had to be more calm, and quietly said to them: "Be good these two days, and when you go to the court meeting after the seal is opened, you will admit your mistake first."
Bai Shan and Man Bao nodded thoughtfully.
Man Bao looked at Bai Erlang, then at Mingda, and held Chang Yu warmly, "Come on, let's talk in a whisper."
Bai Shan said: "I'll watch out for you."
So he dragged Yin Or with one hand and Liu Huan with the other and walked behind them.
Princess Mingda: …
Bai Erlang was very happy, seeing them walking away, he looked at Mingda excitedly and said: "Princess Mingda, I brought you a present."
He took out the box in his arms and handed it to Mingda.
Mingda was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it, and asked, "What is this?"
"Open it and see."
Mingda opened it, and saw a blue gemstone inside. She was stunned for a moment, stretched out her hand to take it out, looked at the sun, saw it slowly changing color under the sunlight, and said in surprise: "This is an opal, right?" ?”
Bai Erlang nodded, stared at her and asked, "Do you like it?"
Mingda smiled, nodded fiercely and said, "I like it!"
"But this is expensive, isn't it?"
Bai Erlang waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's as long as the princess likes it. From the moment I saw it, I thought that no one else could be worthy of it except the princess."
Mingda's face was slightly red, but there was an uncontrollable smile on his face.
Chang Yu, who was watching from behind the rockery, was envious, "This gem looks so beautiful."
Then he felt aggrieved, "Wei Yu always fails to give me the right things."
Man Bao said: "You were obviously very happy when you received the gift."
Chang Yu asked, "Is this gem expensive?"
"No, I bought it after fighting for favors and emptying his money."
Chang Yu quickly asked, "Then do you still have any good gemstones?"
"Don't worry, although it's not as good as cat's eye gemstones, it's not bad. I think you are more suitable for ruby gemstones. I chose a lot of red gemstones this time."
