After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

Yan Mu'an listened to the silly elder sister's suggestion and did not interfere in the selection of talents by the prince. He just talked happily with the ladies who came today.

Mrs. Chengyi is the most enthusiastic. Looking at the various families in the clan, the benefits received by their uncle Chengyi are second only to the Longqing County Prince's Palace. One Longqing County Prince and the other Yongqian. Father and son, one is in charge of Cangnan, and the other is the commander-in-chief of the army. It can be said that they are very prosperous. Infinite, and further down is Chengyi Bofu.

First, Uncle Chengyi caught the emperor's fancy, and then Yongyu became the palace's most effective general, and was sent to Cangnan early. If something unexpected happened, Yongyu would be able to lead Uncle Chengyi's mansion to its peak.

Now that Chengyibo is working with Yan Huaiqing, he has undoubtedly drawn closer to Yan Muan. How can he make her unhappy?

For every family in the court, going to the palace today is more like attending a quiz than attending a banquet. If you are selected by the prince in advance, your future will be worry-free.

Going to the back, the ladies from each family couldn't even concentrate when talking to Yan Mu'an. In the same mansion, their sons or grandsons were working hard for their futures. How could they not be nervous?

Yan Mu'an smiled and said: "Madams, please don't worry too much. The sons of each family have been carefully educated since childhood, and their abilities are not bad. Even if you are less lucky today, in two months there will be an Enke specially opened for Cang Nan by the emperor. You can give it a try.”

This time Enke was on a tight schedule and had a heavy task, so the king used the speed of conveying military information to convey the news to the lower levels. In order to get more people to take the scientific examination, the local officials had to take the exam first. After passing the exam, the government would arrange the carriage. Students from all over the country were sent to the capital without delay, which shows the importance attached to this scientific examination.

Moreover, the emperor and the princes originally wanted to reuse the sons of various families in the court this time. When it comes to going to Cangnan, these sons have more advantages than the poor families. Ordinary people support students, and it is good if they can study. Martial arts is a waste of money. Not many companies can afford it, and even if you have money, you may not necessarily be able to hire a martial arts master. Even if you can hire a martial arts master, can a martial arts master teach you kung fu and the art of war?

Apart from anything else, how many of the boys here today don’t know how to do kung fu?

Who is not cultivated with many resources at home?

In a place like Cangnan that has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, although they were defeated by force, only they know whether they are convinced or not. It is useless if they don't have any courage and skills. It is very likely that they will die suddenly in office. The son of an official has family support. Before taking office, The resources and manpower are ready at home, and all you need to do is show off your skills when you arrive.

The emperor and the few kings were preparing to squeeze out the value of each family in the court. They would first solve the most important matters at the moment, and then free up their hands to slowly change the situation where the officials monopolized resources.

Yan Mu'an glanced over, "After the turmoil in Cangnan, it was devastated. The people struggled to survive. It can be said that everything has been restored. The officials who can be sent there are indispensable for their strategies, talents and knowledge. However, the risks are great and the opportunities are great. The prince values ​​these rising stars in the capital very much." , saying that although he is less experienced, he is better because he is young, strong and flexible, and he may be able to be entrusted with important responsibilities. "

The wives of each family naturally know this, but the value of being selected in advance is different from taking the exam yourself.

It wasn't until the evening when the people from each family took the test that they collected their pens and handed over their strategies to the prince. The prince only scanned them briefly and asked them to put them away. These strategies would eventually be sent to the palace for review by the emperor.

At this time, everyone was in the mood to take a sip of tea. Many courtiers did nothing but watched their son write policy. When the son put away his pen, he was exhausted, as if he had taken away all the energy from their bodies. of strength.

They didn't even bother to eat dinner, so they all said goodbye.

The widowed king had gained a lot today. Yan Mu'an told how outstanding the sons of the noble clan were, "In the past, I only thought that the noble clan would control the court, but now I can only rely on their strength."

Yan Mu'an nodded, "They control the best resources, and the children and grandchildren they train are naturally talented and visionary. You must know that the cost of training such a son is enough for hundreds of thousands of ordinary students, and the resources they enjoy are ordinary. Students can’t even imagine it.”

"If you want to change this status quo, I can't remember, it will take decades of hard work, subtle changes, and slow progress."

The widowed king nodded and wanted to ask Yan Mu'an if he saw anything. After thinking about it, he still didn't ask. He should trust his own eyes.

Those who were selected to join the army reported to me the next day. The emperor was also reviewing the articles of those men yesterday, trying to select the people to be sent to Cangnan as soon as possible.

After half a month, the two brothers, the emperor and the widowed king, were very busy. At this time, in a small city thousands of miles away, Ying Shichen, a famous scholar in half of the Southern Qi Dynasty, was looking at the moon under the eaves, and he was very interested. He was about to compose a poem when he suddenly saw two people flying down from the moon. He rubbed his eyes hurriedly and opened his eyes again. Two men in black stood in front of him, "Mr. Ying, please come with us."

Before he could ask who his master was, the man in black fainted immediately after being stabbed by his hand. When his family found out the next day, they saw a few words left on the table in the house---Looking at the moon, I have a feeling, go out to chase the moon, don't read!

The journey was bumpy and torturous, with bones falling apart and half of his life gone. When he opened his eyes again, the emperor's face came into view. The emperor showed a self-proclaimed kind smile, "Mr. Ying, we meet again."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

As expected of a great scholar, he quickly figured out what was going on. The majestic emperor actually sent someone to kidnap him?

Didn’t he refuse to leave the mountain a long time ago?

He doesn't want to be involved in the court at all!

The emperor personally helped the old gentleman up, took two steps back, and bowed to the old gentleman, "For the welfare of the people of Southern Qi, I invite you to join the court on behalf of the people of Southern Qi. Southern Qi is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. Although it has not yet reached a period of crisis, it is not far away. ”

Next, the emperor began to kidnap the old gentleman with crazy morals. Why did I invite you to come out twice before? The people welcomed and encouraged you when they found out, and the students were eagerly looking forward to it. Can you bear to let so many people down?

The imperial court is approaching, and all people of insight are working hard for the future of Southern Qi. You are knowledgeable but don't care about worldly affairs. How can you be sorry for the love of the people in the world?

After saying half a stick of incense, the old gentleman felt guilty at first, and then his anger gradually surged. The widowed king who had been silent suddenly said, "Brother Emperor treated the old gentleman courteously, but the old gentleman refused many times. If he really has the world in his heart, How could this happen? Could it be that he is someone who is seeking fame and reputation, and is afraid that he will be found to be empty-headed once he enters the court? "

The emperor pretended to blame the widowed king, "How can you speak to the old gentleman like this?"

The widowed king snorted coldly, "If he really has the ability, how can he shirk it so many times?"

"I think the king is just worried that he will not be safe in the evening."
