Xie Ying has only seen common firearms such as bird guns, rockets, and pear spears. Those with strong killing power, such as copper generals, fire cabinets, and Wanhuofeisha guns, are only used by the Shenji Battalion. Can't get it.

He picked up a pencil and drew crookedly the bird gun, the attacking bat and the pear flower gun with the tinderbox, and then drew a round ball covered with reticulated patterns, with stars and ink dots sprayed around it, and marked next to the picture " "Poison", "Smoke", "Iron Tribulus" and other words.

Cui Xie watched carefully from the side, and printed it into a PDF in his mind.

The two guns in the picture did not surprise him, and the round thing that was exploding made him think about it - it was a bit like a landmine. But instead of being buried in the ground, they were thrown out by a fire, or fired from a cannon.

Xie Ying drew the cannon at the end. The shape of the gun body looks like a bottle, with narrow ends and a big belly, and is firmly tied to the flatbed with iron chains. After finishing the painting, he stopped and looked at it for himself, showing a shy smile, shaking his head and saying, "I'm not good at painting, so I'll go back and get the book to show you."

It was the first time that Cui Xie saw him show this kind of embarrassed look, he just thought he was so cute, and wished he could find a camera to capture it and keep it for a lifetime.

It's all because the hard drive is not powerful. If the notebook is worn, there will be a camera! He sighed regretfully, picked up the picture and said contentedly: "It's enough to have this! Firearms are the secret of the imperial court, so you can use the drawing book and I can't really draw it, in case the thief sees it. , what if you learn to make it? Let's keep things low-key."

He asked for these weapon drawings just to see the level of firearms development in the Ming Dynasty, and did not intend to follow them. He still has a lot of foreign blockbusters in his hard drive. He really used those advanced paintings when he painted them, which are good-looking and textured. They can also let the people of the Ming Dynasty understand the development direction of future wars in advance.

The two sat in the room and studied the comic script. Before they knew it, time passed, and a few fellow villagers who dragged the three candles out before they gave up the scene also came back. I wanted to ask him to discuss the problem together, but I heard that he was entertaining Jin Yiwei's guests, so he didn't come. He just asked the servant to tell him that he had arrived home, so as not to worry about being the host.

The master really forgot to worry about them, just worried that Xie Ying left too early, and the time between the two of them was too little.

But Xie Ying, the imperial envoy of Jinyiwei, could not spend the night at the fourth-grade civil official's house after all, and he was about to leave at the beginning of the shift. Cui Xie wanted to find something to give him from home, but he couldn't find a suitable one for a while, so he had to turn out the sample book of the March new issue of the comic book, tied it with oiled paper and paper rope, and gave it to him along with the snacks that his family bought. He took it.

Cui Xie only thought that there was nothing available at home, but Xie Ying cherished the draft and said, "If you take out this draft, it will be enough to make many people buy it at a high cost, where is it simple? I originally said that I would come. Congrats, you will pass the exam, but I can't give you anything..."

He took off his robe and put it on the table, put the manuscript on his clothes, and pressed Cui Xie's shoulder to bully him: "I can only give you some sweetness first."

In the long and lingering kiss, he lifted the hem of Cui Xie's clothes for the first time and measured every inch of his skin with his eyes closed. Cui Xie has always been a little ticklish. He made his abdominal muscles tense with teasing with that cold hand, his waist trembled slightly, but a dark fire suddenly burned from under his navel to his chest. His mouth was dry and he couldn't help reaching out to touch him he.

Xie Ying said hoarsely, "Don't move," and pressed Cui Xie's hands between his chest and abdomen, arched his body, and buried his head between his legs.

The cold wind whistled outside the window, engulfing the gradually heavy breathing and suppressed whimpering in the room.

After the curfew was beaten for a long time, Xie Ying got up and changed her official robe and coat, and prepared to go out with the sample book in her sleeves. Cui Xie stretched out the hem of his clothes, put on his cloak, lowered the brim of his hat to cover his hot cheeks, made a hospitable host, and sent him outside the door.

Master Xie got on his horse, turned around and cupped his hands at him, and said with a smile, "It's not easy to take out that book. Next time, you can copy it with a pen and paper."

Cui Xie stood at the foot of the steps and replied in a deep voice, "Thank you for your troubles, I will go to the mansion to ask for a meeting when the academy is on holiday."

Sending Xie Ying away, he was still so excited that he didn't sleep for a long time, tossing and turning, reminiscing about the short-lived and deep-rooted affair. When he closed his eyes, when Xie Ying raised his eyes to look at him, the corners of his eyes were reddish, sharp and attractive. look.

He dreamed intermittently all night, no matter whether he was awake or awake, Xie Ying was always on his mind, and he didn't really fall asleep until after the fifth watch. I slept until after the hour, and it was almost noon before I could get up from the bed. The other candidates were not much better than him. They were all told that they had been tortured by the exam for a few days and had not slept well. After the exam, they had to make up for the sleep of these days.

It was not until six in the afternoon that the candidates got up to eat the "early" meal, and after eating, they still guarded the table, drinking simmering tea to digest food and relieve their difficulties.

The candidates sat together and naturally talked about the strategy problem of the third session. While praising each other, they took pen and paper to write down their essays silently, wanting to ask Cui Xie to show them to Li Xueshi, and by the way, ask them how well their time and essays were done, and if they had a chance to pass the exam.

Cui Xie knew for a long time that Wang and Lu did not do well in their time and language. Before they were afraid of affecting their exams, they never said it, and it was not easy to say it in front of so many people, so he forcibly changed the subject and asked them if they wanted to Which role did you play in the "Six Talents Meeting"

Ju'anzhai is currently holding six "first" votes. All guests who have bought the genuine "Six Talents Criticizing the Three Kingdoms" can vote with the single-person color picture or poem in the book. The rules are the same as the "Three Kingdoms First" vote. Beauty".

The only difference is that on the day of the meeting, it will not be beautiful women, but six talents who criticize the Three Kingdoms.

Now that Concubine Wan passed away not long ago, the emperor was extremely grieved, and the noble families in Beijing did not dare to feast and celebrate like before, and the days were being boring. Their meeting just happened to be the only large-scale event in this ordinary day that did not violate the taboo of the emperor. Those who dared not listen to the opera and listen to the music, all threw their money on it, intending to make their favorite advisors and famous generals... Be the first.

Just pinching Guan Yu, Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun who are the first generals of the Three Kingdoms will have already sold out their "Three Kingdoms" inventory. Jingli had to urgently dispatch a few carts of books from Qian'an for those uncles who bought tickets to buy them.

Not just the readers, but even the four critics could almost pinpoint their favorite characters. Thanks to them adding another Lu Juren, they are all scholars, and if force is not enough, Cui Xie alone can suppress them honestly.

But a scholar's waist can be bent, but his character cannot be bent! Even readers who spend money and choose a character that doesn't suit their heart, they can't pretend to be that person!

Cui Xie nodded and said, "The six brothers will first choose the six first people in their hearts. Let's go back and make a table to match a pair. After the palace test, the votes are also out, so I will make clothes for the brothers. , ready to go to the stage to write a poem and sign it."

If the chosen character is exactly what they like, let them pretend to be that person and sign on the stage; if the chosen one is unacceptable to them, then change to another character that at least they don't hate. Anyway, these six people are friends in their hometown, and they won't fight for roles. As long as they exclude the ones they don't like in COS, the rest just stick to the characters according to their age and appearance.

When it comes to the palace exam, several candidates are stunned. They no longer have the passion to fight for idols, nod their heads randomly, sit down and guess what the strategy for this year's palace exam will be.

I have just passed the river engineering examination in the meeting, and I will not take the palace examination again. Should that be the examination of economics, frontier affairs, or Shi Ce

Not only did the students guess the questions, but when Cui Xie came to Li Dongyang's house with some of their silently written strategies, Teacher Li had already bet three strategies for them.

Although Mr. Li always said that Cui Xie's writing was enough to make him into the top three before he was allowed to take the palace exam, he also hoped that this student would be like himself. At the age of nineteen, he had a major life event, and he started studying before the exam was completed. This year's palace exam.

Naturally, he would not express this mentality, he just threw the questions at random, and said lightly: "Every year, the emperor himself makes the questions for the imperial examinations, and it is nothing more than the urgent task of today's imperial court. Yes. These questions are for you, not just for you. You can take them back to practice for your classmates. As for you, I have to see how well the five questions you will try."

Cui Xie took out a few people's policy questions from his bag, picked his own first, and sent them to the teacher respectfully, while also taking the three policy questions to read.

Li Dongyang is a bachelor of lecturers. He usually does either cultivating history or drafting edicts. He is also responsible for giving lectures to emperors and princes. He stands at a height that is much higher than that of ordinary scholars and scholars. His policy questions do not contain the content of historical books, asking people to deal with today's problems by comparing the methods of previous dynasties, but to directly analyze the three most acute and most in need of solving problems in today's court: one is military food, and the other is temple worship. , One is the official position.

In terms of military food, since the Ming Dynasty lost the hinterland of the Hetao, and the Tatars invaded the border every year, it was the court’s confidant. In terms of temple worship, sacrifice is a great gift for the state. In the Ming Dynasty, the era of heavy etiquette and unfavorable name was also the first. Important tasks; on the official position... On the official position, it can't be ignored. It is the "Zhongzhiguan" invented by today's Zi. The Zhongzhiguan fills the court, so that people without virtue and talent can be promoted only by favor, and even above the top three Jinshi , sincerity is the root of chaos.

Looking at this question from Teacher Li, you can see that he was not reused in the Chenghua Dynasty for more than 20 years.

Cui Xie read through the three policy questions and prepared the draft. Teacher Li also just finished reading five of his articles and saw his sarcastic words in the article.

The master and the apprentice were the same in the aspect of daring to remonstrate, but Mr. Li was not as sarcastic as Cui Xie, but rather praised his fighting spirit, and praised him very rarely: "I originally thought that you were gentle in your ideas, only He Gong, Bingshi is a practical strategy and theory, and it is a bit mundane when it comes to monarchs and ministers, but I don’t think these articles are a level higher than what you have done before!”

He picked up the first question, his expression stretched, and he commented with a smile: "This article not only expresses the grandeur of the teachings of the sage ancestors and contemporary children, but also contains irony in praise, persuading the king's heart with warm words and words, and loving them with loyalty. The meaning is even more expressive... This article is full of backbone and stands upright."

This article is not only liked by Li Dongyang, who is at home with Ding You. When the examiners of the general examination were sentenced to the third essay, Liu Jian, the same examiner who was promoted to the bachelor of lecturer after he left the hospital, also held a volume of neatly packed papers and praised: "The first question of the question is exactly the test. The topics mentioned in the "Notes on the Imperial Examination", even when I read a few articles, it seems that I am looking at the answers and explanations attached to the "Notes", and there is no candidate's own words. Seeing the candidates' words from their hearts - you can see that the articles in his essays are ironic and ironic, and they are full of loyalty and love to advise the emperor.
