The next day, Lu Yunting, General Zhang and others set off for the border. At the same time, General Feng led his troops to conquer the Eastern Turks.
Prior to this, the Eastern Turks had sought peace with Bactria and sent a large amount of treasures because Khan Jie Li's son had joined forces with Qiu Jian to invade Bactria.
Emperor Yuan ignored it, and the Eastern Turks openly invaded. If he just let the matter go, where would the dignity of Daxia be?
In fact, as early as the third day after Qiu Jian surrendered, Emperor Yuan had decided to send troops to the Eastern Turks and appointed General Feng as the commander-in-chief.
These days, General Feng has been gathering troops and preparing food and fodder. If it weren't for the New Year, he would have set out long ago.
In addition, Loge and his men also mixed in the army and secretly returned to Nanzhao, bringing the troops of Daxia with them.
＊＊＊
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Minister of the Honglu Temple stepped out and asked Emperor Yuan whether he would continue to receive foreign envoys from Tubo, Silla and other countries.
Emperor Yuan said without hesitation that everything was normal. He wanted to let those people know that Daxia could not be invaded by anyone who wanted to!
Besides, if he closed the country's borders just because of a war, wouldn't those people think that Daxia had been badly damaged and had become cowardly?
Then, Emperor Yuan asked, "Guo Yuanzheng, how is your research on witchcraft going?"
Ever since the incident of Prince Yan being controlled by a poisonous insect, Emperor Yuan ordered everyone in the Imperial Hospital to study the art of poison.
It is very difficult to guard against the fact that poisonous insects can control people.
Guo Yuanzheng replied, "Your Majesty, there are not many medical books in the palace that record Gu Shu. I am sending people to look for medical books on Gu Shu."
“That means there is no progress.”
"I am incompetent."
At this time, a civil servant stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Ling'er from Yaoling Valley seems to know something about Gu worms. Perhaps you can ask her for some advice."
Emperor Yuan looked at Guo Yuanzheng.
Guo Yuanzheng immediately bowed and said, "When your majesty ordered me to study Gu Shu, I had already consulted Miss Ling'er.
Miss Ling'er said that she only had a little knowledge of Gu Shu and was not good at it. Moreover, most Gu Shu hurts others and yourself, and if you are not careful, it will backfire on you, so it is not recommended to learn it. "
"If you don't learn, how will you deal with this situation if it happens again in the future?" Emperor Yuan asked in a deep voice.
Guo Yuanzheng was unable to answer.
Emperor Yuan said again with a sullen face: "I don't need you to master this technique, just know how to remove the poison."
"Yes, I will do my best."
Afterwards, Emperor Yuan asked about spring ploughing, the construction of the Supervisory Office, and the progress of ice making.
Jiang Yueyang lost interest after listening for a while and couldn't help but miss Lu Yunting who had just left.
When will A Yue come back?
I don’t know how the soldiers of the Lu family army will react when they learn that the Lu family army belongs to the royal family. I hope they don’t cause any more trouble.
Seeing that she looked absent-minded, the system asked with a playful smile: [Host, do you want to eat some melon? ]
Jiang Yueyang's heart moved, and hesitantly asked: [Isn't it inappropriate to eat melons at this time? ]
[What's inappropriate? The big guys will take care of the national affairs, so don't worry about it, host. You have done enough.]
【Okay then, let’s eat some melon. 】
When Emperor Yuan heard that Jiang Yueyang wanted to eat melon, he felt a little complicated. He didn't want to hear anything bad at this time.
The civil and military officials were not in high spirits either. After all, too many things had happened recently.
The system said: [Then let’s eat the melon of Lord Guan from the Censorate today. ]
Jiang Yueyang knew who the system said Lord Guan was, because Lord Guan often impeached people.
Lord Guan didn't expect that today's good fortune would fall on him. He felt a little nervous and curious.
Those who had been impeached by Lord Guan were very excited, secretly thinking that this day had come for them. They also planned to accuse Jiang Yueyang and the others of impeaching him later, so that he would also have a taste of the feeling of having his salary fined.
The system said: [Master Guan started to take the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, passed at the age of thirty-five, and entered the Imperial Censorate at the age of forty-five. His path to becoming an official was extremely bitter and difficult.]
[Is it okay to pass the imperial examination at the age of 35? I heard that some scholars have not passed the examination even at the age of 50 or 60.]
The civil and military officials nodded secretly. It was indeed not bad, but it was not very smart after all.
Emperor Yuan glanced at Lord Guan and thought to himself, "Xiaogua mentioned the imperial examination, is he cheating again?"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites also had this suspicion and secretly prayed that it would not happen again. They could not bear it!
The system went on to say: [People who can still take the imperial examinations in their sixties or seventies must have a good family background.
But Guan's family was poor, and more than ten years of taking the exam left him and his family with little food to eat.
Jiang Yueyang was puzzled. [Being an official doesn't make much money, why do you work so hard? ]
【Those who cannot make money are honest officials. 】
Hearing this, Emperor Yuan straightened up slightly, and all the civil and military officials also became serious.
Lord Guan's face was tense as he looked at Emperor Yuan and tried hard to express something, but unfortunately he couldn't say anything now.
He silently defended himself, Your Majesty, I am an honest official and have never engaged in corruption or accepted bribes.
Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows and said, "Little melon, you mean he is greedy."
[Ah? No, that's not what I wanted to say.]
Jiang Yueyang was quite speechless, [If it’s not about corruption, then what exactly do you want to talk about? ]
[What I want to say is that his pedantry and self-esteem successively killed his three daughters. ]
When these words were spoken, everyone opened their eyes wide in slight surprise.
Lord Guan's expression changed and his eyes darkened instantly.
Jiang Yueyang asked: [Master Guan forced his three daughters to death? How did he force them to death? ]
[When he was 21 years old, his first daughter died because of a steamed bun.]
