To Rule in a Turbulent World

In the afternoon, as the sun set to the west, You Miao also wrote more and more slowly. Finally, he pondered for a long time, rubbed the rice paper, and the articles written since early morning to the present were balled up and thrown under the tree.Many examinees around had already finished writing, and they all looked at You Miao in astonishment, and then laughed as if they had discovered something new.

You Miao took another piece of paper and wrote down the eight characters: "It's okay to end war with war."

This time he wrote very quickly, his handwriting was not as neat as before, but it was full of things Sun Yu taught him, but he did not follow Sun Yu's method, but mentioned the Battle of Goryeo a few years ago, When it comes to the Quanrong tribe, he pointed out the strategy of the country mercilessly, and the factions of the imperial court restrained each other, vaguely alluding to the Li Party and blaming the emperor for his administration.

At sunset, the drums rang three times, and the examiner came to collect the papers.You Miao was the last one, and left the imperial city lonely.

The setting sun was like blood, and his figure dragged on the stone brick floor for a long time.

Yaoguang packs up his things and follows You Miao.

You Miao stretched, let out a sigh of relief, and smiled.

"No, let's go home." You Miao said, "At this point, I don't think much about it."

When You Miao went back that day, Zhang Wenhan asked You Miao how he wrote it. You Miao told Zhang Wenhan his countermeasures in detail, and Zhang Wenhan's face turned green.

"Young master." Zhang Wenhan didn't know what to say for a moment: "Young master is really brave!"

You Miao felt very boring and said, "Never mind him."

He knew very well in his heart that the first policy question was obviously the best, which not only met Li Zai's wishes, but also met the emperor's heart.Those who are good fighters do not fight but subdue others' soldiers. Aren't they all thinking that peace is the most important thing in the court?Sun Yu also said that one capable minister is enough to reject a million soldiers.However, what Sun Yu said was to fight!Convince the barbarians first before negotiating peace. Those who are good at fighting disdain war, not fear war. These are very different from what Li Yan's father did.

At this time, the only way to stabilize the frontier is to go to war.When You Miao thought of Zhao Chao's defeat so badly, she became angry.And he has been with Li Zhifeng for several years, and from what Li Zhifeng said, he can also know a thing or two. Among the barbarians, the Tatars are the most ruthless. The Han people were afraid of them.

It is necessary to use strong means to suppress the barbarians who are making troubles in the frontier, and at the same time give grace and power, so that it is possible to exchange for a hundred years of stability.

Let it go, You Miao was bored, came back and drank two cups of tea, feeling dizzy and unable to eat, said: "I'm going to sleep for a while, I won't eat dinner."

With dry mouth and tongue, You Miao lay on the bed until midnight, his forehead was hot, and asked the sleeping Yaoguang to pour water, Cheng Guangwu felt something was wrong, came in and tried his forehead, his expression changed: "I'm afraid it's heatstroke! Hurry up!" Go get the doctor!"

Yaoguang was taken aback. After all, he had the shortest time with You Miao, and he was not as careful as Li Zhifeng. If he didn't pay attention, he didn't even know that You Miao had suffered from heat stroke, so he hurriedly got up and went out overnight to ask for a doctor.You Miao's face turned pale, and she couldn't even sweat. Sure enough, she sweated too much during the palace exam, exhausted her mind and body, and forgot to drink water. Qiuhu suffered from heatstroke.Just lying on the bed like this is like lying down for three days.

"Has Li Zhifeng come back?" You Miao asked weakly when she woke up the next day.

Yaoguang brought the doctor back for a follow-up visit, and replied: "Master, the housekeeper may be on his way."

You Miao said without strength: "Not yet..."

The doctor prescribed some medicines, and Zhang Wenhan was terrified. He rushed in and out, and was about to beat up Yaoguang. You Miao hurriedly waved his hand to signal that he should not blame him. Then gradually smooth.Hearing a visitor from outside, Cheng Guangwu said, "My young master has suffered from heat stroke and is lying down."

You Miao closed her eyes, but heard it in her ears, and asked, "Who? Has anyone come to the villa?"

Cheng Guangwu came in and said: "The people sent by the prime minister's mansion said to invite the young master to drink."

You Miao didn't even have the strength to answer, so she just lay there.After taking another medicine at night, Fang gradually got better, but still felt a little tight in chest, unable to get up from lying down, and heard a familiar voice at night.

"You didn't let me sit under the tree, why did you get sunstroke?" Li Yan said in a voice, "Open the curtains a bit, don't be bored."

Li Yan touched You Miao's forehead with a cold hand, and said, "Can I have some porridge? I think I'm hungry. Get up and try."

You Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Yan came to help him up in person. You Miao was dizzy and felt comfortable after drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge.

"Ah—" You Miao said.

Li Yan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Look, I'm so hungry that I have no energy, the summer heat is gone early."

At this time, Li Yan didn't make jokes with You Miao. You Miao regained some strength, took the bowl, and drank the porridge by herself. It's good for him to know.

You Miao wanted to find something to say, but didn't know where to start. Li Yan laughed and said, "Why can't I stand it so much?"

"Hey." You Miao said: "Who knows that the sun is so bad in the capital? I didn't see such a poisonous sun when I lived in the capital. After returning to the south of the Yangtze River, I still have to practice martial arts diligently. Put it aside. It's been a few months."

Li Yan said: "I'll ask someone to make some ginseng soup and bring it over. You can drink ginseng soup for a few days in a row. You have to enter the palace after the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. Don't go out and make trouble."

You Miao remembered about the imperial examination, and knew that Li Yan had his own way to inquire about the news. It seemed that he had won the list, and he might be able to win a Jinshi, so he asked, "How is it?"

Li Yan was about to speak, but Cheng Guangwu said outside: "Third Highness."

Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled cunningly at You Miao, raised his eyebrows, You Miao nodded to indicate that he would deal with it, Li Yan patted You Miao's hand, got up and straightened his robe, and said, "Let's go." gone."

Li Yan went out, Zhao Chao opened the curtain and came in, the two happened to meet each other.

Zhao Chao laughed, he was handsome and said, "Li Yan?"

Li Yan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Third Highness."

Zhao Chao: "I'll come and see You Ziqian, shall we sit down again?"

Li Yan hurriedly said: "Father asked me to go to the Ministry of Rites for a visit. I happened to pass by, so I came to see Miaozi."

Zhao Chao nodded thoughtfully, Li Yan said goodbye politely, Zhao Chao watched him leave with a smile, and when he turned around and sat down, his expression changed again.

You Miao thought to himself that this group of people really changed their faces like flipping through a book. They changed as soon as they said they would change. It was both helpless and funny. Zhao Chao's ears moved imperceptibly, confirming that Li Yan had gone far, he frowned and asked, "Why? Suffering from heat stroke? What are you going to eat with the people!"

You Miao said: "I didn't notice it myself, it's better now."

Zhao Chao reached out to touch his forehead, You Miao ate the porridge, regained some strength, and said, "What are you doing here?"

Zhao Chao: "Don't do anything, I heard that you are sick, so I came to see you, what is he doing here?"

You Miao laughed and said, "He probably wanted to teach me something to say, but when you came, he had no choice but to leave."

Zhao Chao thought for a while and said, "I also went to the Ministry of Rites and didn't inquire about it. Did you get into the second class in the imperial examination?"

You Miao said blankly: "He didn't say anything, he just let me take care of my illness so that I can go to the palace for a banquet on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Zhao Chao understood: "That is Zhongjinshi."

The two sighed endlessly, and You Miao sighed. It was a happy thing, but why did she feel empty in her heart, and there was no one who was happy with her?

Zhao Chao smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? What are you doing sighing?"

You Miao laughed at herself: "I don't know either."

Zhao Chao patted his knee and said, "Let me tell you some stories."

That night, the oil lamp was lit in the room, and it was raining outside, and it started to rain again. The sound of the rain was dripping, and the tightness in You Miao's chest was swept away, and the air was much fresher.At the second watch, someone from the prime minister's mansion outside brought over a food box with ginseng soup, and You Miao ate it hungrily, full of energy.

Zhao Chao chose some customs outside the Great Wall to talk to him, and no longer mentioned the Qixi Festival, as if nothing had happened, and restored the natural friendship.

You Miao felt drowsy after hearing this, and lay on the bed answering nonchalantly, Zhao Chao went over to cover him with the quilt, got up and left, and closed the door gently.
