In the afternoon, as the days went west, You Miao became slower and slower in writing. Finally, he pondered for a while, rubbed the rice paper, and the articles he had written since the early morning were lumped together and thrown under the tree. The surrounding candidates had already written quite a few, and they all looked at You Miao in amazement, and then they all laughed as if they had discovered something novel.
You Miao took another piece of paper and wrote the eight characters: "It is okay to fight to stop the war."
This time he wrote very fast, the handwriting was not as neat as before, but it was full of things Sun Yu taught him, but he did not follow Sun Yu's way, but mentioned the battle of Goryeo a few years ago. Mentioning the Quanrong clan, and then mercilessly pointing out the strategy of the country, the factions of the imperial court are restraining each other, and there is a hint of innuendo to the Li Dang and blaming the emperor for the administration.
At sunset, the drums thumped three times, and the examiner came to collect the papers. You Miao walked the last one and left the imperial city lonely.
The setting sun was like blood, and his figure was dragged on the stone brick floor.
Fluctuating light packed his things and followed behind You Miao.
You Miao stretched out, let out a long breath, and smiled.
"No, let's go home." You Miao said, "At this point, I don't even think about it."
When You Miao returned that day, Zhang Wenhan also asked You Miao how to write it. You Miao told Zhang Wenhan in detail about his countermeasures, and Zhang Wenhan's face turned blue.
"Master." Zhang Wenhan didn't know what to say for a while: "Young master is really brave!"
You Miao felt very bored and said, "What about him."
He knew very well in his heart that the first strategy question was obviously the best. It not only met Li Zai's wishes, but also fit the emperor's heart. Those who are good at fighters do not fight but succumb to the enemy, and do they all have the heart of peace? Sun Yu also said that one capable minister is enough to reject a million soldiers. However, what Sun Yu said was to fight! First convince the Hu people before negotiating peace. Those who are good at war disdain war, rather than fear war. These are completely different from what Li Yan's father did.
At this time, to stabilize the frontier, only war can be waged. When You Miao thought that Zhao Chao was defeated so badly, he was furious. And he and Li Zhifeng have been with him for several years. From what Li Zhifeng said, he can also know a thing or two. Among the Hu, the Tartars are the most ruthless. The Han people give them money and silk. The Tartars will not be grateful, they will only feel The Han people were afraid of them.
It is necessary to suppress the troubled Hu people in the frontier with tough measures, and at the same time, it is possible to exchange for a century of stability.
Let it go, Youmiao was boring, and came back to drink two cups of tea, dizzy and unable to eat, and said, "I'm going to sleep for a while, and I won't have dinner."
Youmiao's mouth was dry, and he lay on the bed until midnight, his forehead was hot, and he told the sleeping Yaoguang to pour water. Cheng Guangwu first realized that something was wrong, he came in and tried his forehead, and his color changed: "I'm afraid it's heat stroke! Come on! Go ask the doctor!"
Yaoguang was taken aback. After all, he followed You Miao for the shortest time, and he was not as careful as Li Zhifeng. If he was not careful, he didn't even know that You Miao was suffering from heat stroke. You Miao's face was pale, and she couldn't even get out of sweat. Sure enough, she was sweating too much during the palace exam. Lying on the bed like this means lying down for three days.
"Is Li Zhifeng back?" You Miao woke up the next day and asked weakly.
Yaoguang brought the doctor to the follow-up consultation and replied, "Back to the young master, the housekeeper may be on his way."
You Miao didn't have the strength to say, "I haven't come yet..."
The doctor prescribed a few medicines, Zhang Wenhan was so frightened, he was busy going in and out, and Yaoguang was about to beat him. You Miao waved his hand to show him not to blame him. It gradually became smoother. Hearing someone visiting outside again, Cheng Guangwu said, "My young master has a heat stroke and is lying down."
You Miao closed her eyes, but she heard it in her ears and asked, "Who? Is there anyone in the villa?"
Cheng Guangwu came in and said, "The people sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion said to invite the young master to drink."
You Miao didn't even have the strength to answer, so she just lay there. After taking another medicine at night, Fang gradually got better, but he still had a little chest tightness and could not get up from lying down. At night, he heard a familiar voice.
"I didn't let you sit under the tree, why did you get sunstroke?" Li Yan's voice said, "Open the tent, don't be bored."
Li Yan's cold hand touched Youmiao's forehead and said, "Can I have some porridge? I think I'm hungry, so get up and try."
You Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Yan came to help him personally. You Miao was dizzy, took a few mouthfuls of porridge and felt comfortable.
"Aw—" You Miao said.
Li Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Look, I'm so hungry that I have no energy, and the heat has left early."
At this time, Li Yan didn't make jokes with You Miao, You Miao regained some strength, took the bowl, and drank the porridge by himself. He thought about it a little bit, and suddenly remembered that he almost impeached the Li family father and son when he thought about the strategy, please don't. It's good to be known by him.
You Miao was looking for something to say, but she didn't know where to start. Li Yan laughed and said, "Why can't you stand it like this?"
"Hey." You Miao said: "Who knew that the sun in the capital city, I never saw such a poisonous sun when I lived in the capital before, and when I returned to the south of the Yangtze River, I still have to practice martial arts diligently and leave it alone. months."
Li Yan said: "I will ask someone to stew some ginseng soup and bring it. You can drink the ginseng soup for a few days. You have to enter the palace in a few days for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so don't go out and make trouble."
You Miao remembered about the palace exam, and knew that Li Yan had his own way to inquire about news. It seemed that he was on the list, and he might even be a jinshi, so he asked, "How is it?"
Li Yan was about to say it, but outside he heard Cheng Guangwu saying, "Three Highness."
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slyly at You Miao, moved his eyebrows, You Miao nodded to indicate that he would deal with it, Li Yan patted You Miao's hand, got up and straightened his robes, and said, "Let's go. already."
Li Yan went out, Zhao Chao opened the curtain and came in, and the two happened to meet each other.
Zhao Chao laughed and said, "Li Yan?"
Li Yan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness."
Zhao Chao: "Let me see You Ziqian, and then sit down again?"
Li Yan hurriedly said: "My father asked me to go to the Ministry of Rites for a trip. I happened to be passing by, so I came to see Miaozi."
Zhao Chao nodded thoughtfully, and Li Yan said goodbye politely. Zhao Chao smiled and watched him leave. When he turned his head and sat down, his expression changed again.
You Miao thought that this group of people really changed their faces as if they were flipping a book. They changed when they said they changed. It was both helpless and funny. Zhao Chao's ears moved imperceptibly, confirming that Li Yan had walked away, and asked with a frown, "Why? Heatstroke? What are you going to eat with the people?"
You Miao said, "I didn't notice it myself, but I'm better now."
Zhao Chao reached out and touched his forehead, You Miao ate the porridge, regained some strength, and said, "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Chao: "Don't do anything. I heard that you are sick, so I came to see you. What is he doing?"
You Miao laughed and said, "He should be trying to teach me something to say. When you come, he will have to leave."
Zhao Chao thought for a while and said, "I also went to the Ministry of Rites, but I didn't inquire about it. Did you get into the second grade in your palace test?"
You Miao said blankly: "He didn't say anything, he just told me to take good care of my illness so that I can go to the palace for a banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Zhao Chao understands: "That's the middle jinshi."
The two sighed endlessly, You Miao sighed, it was originally a happy thing, why did I feel empty in my heart, there was no one to be happy with, it was not as good as the last time I was in Jie Yuan.
Zhao Chao smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? What are you doing sighing?"
You Miao laughed at himself: "I don't know either."
Zhao Chao patted his knee and said, "I'll tell you a story for you to listen to."
That night, the oil lamp was lit in the room, and the outside was pattering, and it was raining again. The sound of the rain was ticking, and the tightness in You Miao's chest was swept away, and the air was much fresher. During the second watch, someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion brought the ginseng soup in the food box and brought it over.
Zhao Chao picked up some of the customs outside the Great Wall to tell him, and stopped mentioning the words of Qixi Festival, as if nothing had happened, and restored the natural friendship.
You Miao felt sleepy after listening to it. He was lying on the bed in response, and Zhao Chao went over to cover him with the quilt, got up and walked away, gently closing the door.
