Chapter 154 Civil and Military Examinations

Yun Hongxiao nodded.

Everyone knows the face of the Fourth Prince, which no one can see. He finally found out the reason, so of course he remembered it well.

"My concubine is also like this. It's just that the King Ming has forgotten the past, but my concubine remembers it."

"What?" Yun Hongxiao was surprised. He

understood everything after thinking about it carefully.

In other words, it was the concubine of the Feng family who could cure diseases and save lives.

No wonder she could find her way home by herself.

No wonder the two sons of the Feng family recovered as soon as she came back.

Several families with good relations with the Feng family all benefited, including his imperial sister. At

this moment, Yun Hongxiao deeply realized how wrong his attitude towards the queen was before.

It turned out that his queen gave birth to a fairy.

Or maybe he was not broad-minded enough, and because of the Fourth Prince, he disliked the Queen and ignored the Fourth Prince.

After realizing this, Yun Hongxiao completely changed his attitude towards the Queen and her two children, and was especially concerned about Yun Ranqing.

Although he knew that Feng Tianxing said so before, he had no substantial evidence, after all, he was just a three-year-old child.

Later, the Queen went to the temple to ask the monks, but there was no clear answer, so he didn't really take it to heart.

Now he really believes what Feng Tianxing said before.

"Your Majesty, please don't shout everywhere. I'm afraid that the concubine will become famous and my family will not be able to protect her."

Yun Hongxiao glared at him.

What is he talking about? Do you treat him as an aunt or an uncle?

When Feng Zuwen left, he did not forget to remind Yun Hongxiao to give him the snow lotus with seeds.

Yun Hongxiao gave it very straightforwardly. He knew that the young lady of the Feng family was a fairy who came to experience tribulation, so of course he had to please her. Maybe one day he would need her to save his life.

The next day, Yun Hongxiao discussed the decision at the court meeting.

Some people opposed it and some agreed. But in the end, there were more people in favor.

No one is a fool. If the other two countries unite to go to war against Yanyan, Yanyan will not be able to withstand it.

Several ministers also thought that since they were going to sell it, they should sell all three countries.

Yun Hongxiao quite agreed with this idea.

Three days later.

Yun Hongxiao summoned envoys to meet him again.

The ministers and assistant ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue participated.

This time, the two countries formally discussed the diplomatic relations.

After some efforts to make concessions and bargaining, the agreement was finally signed.

Neither country shall start a war within 20 years.

The two countries shall exchange medicinal materials and set the import and export prices of various medicinal materials.

In the past, Yanyan wanted to buy snow lotus from Loulan, but the price was so expensive that many people could not afford it.

Now the price is much more affordable, and ordinary wealthy families can afford it. But it also depends on the quality and year.

The agreed price of the detoxification pill is 150,000 taels of silver per pill. You can buy it again in the future.

The blueprint of the ten-shot crossbow and a finished product cost 250,000 taels of silver.

But Lou Haotian couldn't come up with so much silver, so he finally used jade to offset it. Jade is produced in abundance at the foot of Tianshan Mountain in Loulan.

Yun Hongxiao thought about it and agreed.

Finally, Lou Haotian proposed that he wanted the Dragon Slaying Sword back and could redeem it with silver.

Yun Hongxiao was in a dilemma because the sword had already been given to the Fourth Prince and he wanted to love him more now. How could he do something that would disappoint him?

But when Lou Haotian said that he had also borrowed it and asked Emperor Yan to help him.

Since the two countries wanted to be friendly, it would not be easy to force them.

Yun Hongxiao had no choice but to ask someone to invite King Ming to come and they would talk about it themselves.

Yun Ranqing soon came to Yonghe Hall.

"My son, the Second Prince Loulan wants the Dragon Slaying Sword back and is willing to redeem it with silver. What do you think?"

Yun Hongxiao spoke more gently than ever before, which made Yun Ranqing feel a little uncomfortable.

"Uh, isn't this the prize we won?" Yun Ranqing looked down on Lou Haotian a little.

Lou Haotian had to explain his difficulties again.

Yun Ranqing thought of Feng Tianxing saying that the sword was not that good and she had a better one, so could he ask for silver?

Having made up his mind, Yun Ranqing walked to Yun Hongxiao, put his head close to his ear and whispered: "Father, if I agree to give it to him, can you give me the silver? I want to build the most beautiful mansion. When I grow up, I will marry Sister Feng as my princess and let her live more comfortably."

Yun Hongxiao laughed when he heard it: "You boy, you are ambitious. Well, as you said Wish.

Yun Ranqing received the golden words and returned the Dragon Slaying Sword to Lou Haotian, and received 80,000 taels of silver, enough for him to build a mansion.

The fifth day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, August 20th.

The national provincial examination officially began.

The provincial examination in the capital was held in the venue of the Gongyuan.

The emperor appointed Yuan Yinan and a doctor from the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Qingshan, to be in charge.

There was also a military examination held at the same time.

The two sons of the Feng family, one took the provincial examination

Feng Yuanhao has worked very hard in the past year, and with three teachers to guide him, he feels confident.

Feng Yuanhan has taken Chen Zhizhong as his teacher to learn the cultural part of the martial arts exam. He has been to Chen's house frequently in the past six months. He is

not worried about the martial arts exam at all, and it depends on whether he can pass the military strategy part.

A general must not only be able to fight, but also be able to lead troops.

Both brothers are confident.

The military examination was organized by the Ministry of War. The top ten candidates from all prefectures and cities across the country could enter the capital to take the examination. A

total of 150 candidates took the examination. The top three were selected in nine days.

On the first day, the military strategy examination was held at the Imperial College, and the Imperial College's chief academic officer Luo Siyuan and the Ministry of War's assistant minister Zhao Zhongyuan were in charge.

On this day, Feng Tianxing got up early. Like before, she wanted to send her two brothers to the examination room.

The eldest sister-in-law is also with us today.

"My dear, don't be too stressed, just do your best." Yuan Qiaolan gently arranged Feng Yuanhao

's clothes. "Don't worry, I'm well prepared." Feng Yuanhao looked at Yuan Qiaolan with tenderness in his eyes.

The two have been living a sweet life since they got married.

Yuan Qiaolan manages Feng Yuanhao's life in an orderly manner. She cooks for him every day and gives him nutrition when he is tired from studying.

Of course, Feng Tianxing's share is also indispensable.

Feng Zuwen participated in maintaining order in the examination room and left earlier than the two brothers.

Everything was ready, and Song Shuqing led the family out.

"I wish the two brothers a successful start." Feng Tianxing smiled and sent blessings.

"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely come back as the top scorer in martial arts. Then, I will give that protective clothing to my second brother as a reward, okay?" Feng Yuanhan patted his chest and promised, and did not forget to ask for a reward.

"Okay, as long as my second brother gets the top scorer, the clothing will be yours." Feng Tianxing agreed generously.

I wanted to give him that clothing before, but Feng Yuanhan refused, saying that with that thing, people would become dependent and their fighting spirit would be weakened, so Feng Tianxing put it away.

Now his martial arts have improved a lot and it is difficult for him to meet an enemy, so having more protection can also make his family feel more at ease.

I first sent Feng Yuanhan to the entrance of the examination room, and I saw Chen Huizhu standing on the side of the road, looking around.

Wang Jiang, who was driving, saw it and deliberately drove the carriage over and stopped in front of her.

Feng Yuanhan was the first to open the car curtain.

He saw that it was her.

"Have you signed up too?" Feng Yuanhan was very confused.

Although the martial arts competition did not clearly stipulate that only men could take the exam, there had never been a woman taking the exam in all these years.

[This silly second brother, the girl is here to send you to the exam room, you don't understand romance at all. When will the second brother wake up? ] Feng Tianxing looked at Feng Yuanhan helplessly.
