“It’s also possible…” Zhang Yuqing stammered a little.
There is no precedent for His Majesty to be the chief examiner, but the regulations do not state that the emperor cannot be the chief examiner.
"Then I'll do it."
Since she couldn't gather enough people, she decided to do it herself.
Although relying on others is worse than relying on yourself...
The Grand Assembly is just one thing.
Then there are some things that cannot be said at the grand court assembly, such as General Huo Cheng having already led his troops to pursue the "bandits" and reached the border of the Yun Kingdom.
So after the grand court assembly, Murong Yue was having lunch, preparing to have dinner before going to Baoguang Hall to go to school.
She hadn't been to school for a few days and was missing the fresh minds.
But Chen Shi'en tripped him up.
"Your Majesty, the army will go to war with the Yun Kingdom after it has rested."
"As per His Majesty's previous instructions, at the appropriate time, we sent the Yue army to the front. After the Yue army and the Yun army clashed, we took advantage of the situation to launch an attack."
"The first battle should have just ended by now."
Murong Yue stuffed a scallion and chicken roll into her mouth, puffing it out as she asked, "Did you win? (chewing)"
"Your Majesty, barring any unforeseen circumstances, General Huo has won."
"Whether to continue the war is up to Your Majesty."
"(Chewing, chewing, chewing) Hit!"
That's how the struggle between bases works: for resources, for survival, it's a fight to the death.
Beat one side until they beg for mercy, then merge them into one base.
Humanity will have a better future.
Struggle is an inevitable process.
She understands the principles, she just can't put them into words.
Chen Shi'en's eyes darted around as he pondered His Majesty's meaning, recalling His Majesty's previous statement about unifying the world.
It seems they're going to attack the capital of Yun Kingdom.
However, by the time the Yun Kingdom realizes what's happening, it might not be so easy to defeat them.
All we can say is that we'll take it one step at a time.
Murong Yue washed her hands and rinsed her mouth, then hurriedly ran towards Baoguang Hall, "Really, I almost missed class."
When the old scholar Meng Xueyi saw His Majesty again, he was so moved that he almost cried.
He thought His Majesty wouldn't be coming here to study after the New Year holidays.
Meng Xueyi's granddaughter also came to class today.
Murong Yue might not remember everything else, but she would never forget the fresh and tender ingredients she raised herself.
There was a little child there, and she tilted her head to look at him.
Meng Xueyi introduced, "This is my granddaughter."
Murong Yue looked at him, then at the sweet little girl, and shook her head, saying, "No, she's prettier than you."
Meng Xueyi: ...
The little girl smiled sweetly at her, her eyes like crescent moons, and two dimples on her face. In her childish voice, she said, "Your Majesty is so handsome."
"Oh, oh, oh, good girl."
So cute!
I can't bear to eat it!
For the entire class period, Murong Yue was completely under the control of the little dumpling.
As for what Meng Xueyi said, she didn't hear a word he said.
Returning to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a blank mind, I sat in a chair, lost in thought.
Was she pretty when she was a child?
Isn't it cute?
Does my mother love me this much too?
Although her mother has another child, she probably likes her too.
Aaaaaah!
Murong Yue was in a state of frantic inner conflict.
He wished he could leave the palace immediately to find someone.
But she still has many words she hasn't finished learning.
"Teacher, when will you come back?" Murong Yue asked Ahao.
With Li Xuanji gone, there's no one to teach her her lessons.
Ah Hao shook his head, "The Imperial Preceptor did not give any instructions."
"Your Majesty, if you miss the Grand Preceptor, you can write to him."
"oh."
Murong Yue sat at her desk as Ahao ground the ink.
But Murong Yue couldn't remember how to write a character.
How do you write the "lao" in "teacher"? How do you write the "shi" in "teacher"?
never mind.
Anyway, the teacher should know that it was written for him.
After thinking it over, she wrote three words: Come back soon!
The letter was handed to Ahao, who skillfully packed it into an envelope, sealed it with wax, and gave it to the appropriate person to deliver it to Li Xuanji at Lanjiabao overnight.
Lanjiabao is located in the southern part of Qing Kingdom.
It would take about a day and a night to get there at full speed.
Surrounded by mountains, it is far from the hustle and bustle of the world, but it is not completely isolated from the world.
There are farmlands and basic industries near Lanjiabao, where villagers work.
They can be self-sufficient in grains, meat, vegetables, and clothing.
Lanjiabao even has its own medicinal herb fields.
Outside Lanjiabao, there is a natural barrier protecting the area.
Lan Yun once said that if the world were in chaos, Lan Family Fort would be the last sanctuary.
Li Xuanji has been back for three days. When she returned, she didn't even bring her pageboy; she was all alone.
The weather is warming up, and the rice paddies outside are already lush and green.
In the pavilion at the highest point of Lanjiabao, the night was deep, a gentle breeze blew, and the bright moonlight mingled with the lanterns hanging high above.
The rich aroma of the wine wafted through the air.
Li Xuanji rarely had such a relaxed moment.
Accompanying him was Lan Tianqi, the head of the Lan family, who was also his master, Lan Yun's father, and Murong Yue's maternal grandfather.
There was also his wife, Mei Wuxiang.
And his junior brother Lan Anting.
Lan Anting smiled and raised his glass, "So, Yue'er's illness can be considered cured. I just wonder if she still remembers me, her uncle."
Li Xuanji clinked her wine glass with his and said, “I don’t know. Her Majesty remembers some things, but has also forgotten many others.”
Lan Tianqi's eyes held a hint of drunkenness. "From your description, I think Yue'er is in good condition right now."
“She was too tense before, always trying to prove herself to her parents, and she lost too much.”
