It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 215

When the night comes, the lanterns of Weiyang Palace are dim, the maids in ladies' clothes are shadowy, and the Xiaohuangmen comes and goes, but it is extremely quiet. Everyone does their job, but doesn't make a sound.

In the imperial study room, the old man was leaning on the collapse, taking a sip of fragrant tea from time to time.

In front of him, many people are busy, their division of labor is orderly, busy but orderly.

This old man is none other than the emperor of the great empire, the master of the 90,000-mile river and mountains, and his majesty the Emperor Ming of the empire.

The busy people in the study were the eunuchs who served him personally.

The so-called eunuchs are not the servants who pour tea and make the beds and quilts in the impression. If the empire is compared to a super large company, the Emperor Ming is the chairman of the company, and the eunuch is equivalent to the position of the secretary of the board of directors.

Emperor Ming liked eunuchs very much, but the key was that other people were too unlikable. If in front of the civil servants, he can think of picking his nose and digging his nose like this, and wanting to cross Erlang's legs and cross Erlang's legs, those civil servants will scold your ancestral grave. And those generals are all self-respecting and ready to rebel at any time, which is really unpleasant.

Emperor Ming is sixty-three years old this year. He is not young in this era, and for an emperor, he has longevity. Longevity means to an old man that he can die at any time.

This time, there will be one hundred examiners, two chief examiners, and an invisible big boss, who is Emperor Ming himself. One hundred exam papers were handed in today. These exam papers need to be carefully read, graded, absorbed, and understood in order to understand the current trend of thinking in the empire. If a 63-year-old man can do these things alone, it would be difficult for a strong man.

Therefore, the eunuchs around Emperor Ming came in handy, and they reviewed them. Only articles that were really valuable or difficult to decide would be handed over to Emperor Ming, euphemistically called Yu Lan.

Among them, there are many articles to be done. What is valuable and what should not dirty the eyes of Emperor Ming depends on the mood of the eunuch in charge.

Emperor Ming took a nap, and when he woke up, he remembered something, and suddenly said, Where is the article about Niu Sanjin?

Your Majesty, why did you think of reading his article?

I heard that he is going to take the first place, but I want to see, what is hidden in his heart, dare to praise this Haikou.

Emperor Ming had some impression of Niu Sanjin, after all, the position of Niu Sanjin examiner was set by him personally. The reason for this is because Niu Sanjin's ancestor once served the founding emperor of the empire. Every time Emperor Ming thought about this, he would think, sigh, the ancestors would choose people. In contrast, the civilians and military generals around me are all things.

From this perspective, if there is no backstage Niu Sanjin, his backstage is His Majesty the Emperor Ming.

On the Spirit of Bright Sword

Uh……

This topic made the well-informed Emperor Ming also stunned. The styles of these articles can be roughly divided into two types. One is the citations of the civil servants, which are long-winded and long-winded. Speaking of human words, this kind of article is also the most troublesome for eunuchs. After reading it in the end, I feel that every sentence in the article is correct, but no one knows what the whole article means. The generals' articles are often upside down and logically confusing. After all, the weapon they are good at is the knife, not the pen. And there are very few masters who are capable of both writing and martial arts.

In contrast, the style of this article is so simple that even a three-year-old can understand it.

When a swordsman meets his opponent, no matter how strong the opponent is, even if the opponent is the best swordsman in the world, he will show his sword even if he knows that he is defeated. Even if you fall by the opponent's sword, you will still be honored to be defeated. This is the spirit of the sword.”

It turns out that an army with a fine tradition often has the soil for cultivating heroes.

Faith, what a mighty force it used to be, the soul of an army

When Emperor Ming started to look at it, he was crooked and slowly sat up straight. Later, he even stood up and paced the room non-stop.

Good, good, good!

Emperor Ming said three times in a row, slapping the table and hitting the festival, for a long time.

This cow really has mountains and rivers in its chest. No wonder he dares to boast. This is self-confidence.

The eunuchs headed by Liu Aji were stunned, it was really good to that point.

Eunuchs are eunuchs, and cannot understand the mood of His Majesty Emperor Ming. The empire has always been fought on the ground by the Rong tribe, and the war could not be won, so they had to seek spiritual comfort.

Cheng Dalei was talking nonsense and hitting straight, but it also hit the mind of His Majesty Emperor Ming.

If Cheng Dalei saw this scene, he would definitely exclaim: rub, it turns out that Emperor Ming is such a fool, it seems that I have a better future as a traitor than a bandit.

In this assessment, Cheng Dalei will be the first. His Majesty the Emperor Ming waved his hand: For talents, we must reuse them.

this……

Liu Aji was shocked. His Majesty Emperor Ming was really on a whim and was easily impulsive. Could it be that he didn't know that we had already taken money from another family.

Your Majesty, now the envoys of the Rong clan are coming soon. Although this article is good, it is too murderous. If the envoys negotiated by the Rong clan know that you have set this article as the first, I am afraid they will doubt our peace talks. Sincerity. Bright sword is good, but after the war, what we need is recuperation.

This way... Ming Di paused, and found that even if he was the lord of a country, he had helpless things.

Then don't give him a rank, but this article is still useful. Copy it down and learn it from the army. Emperor Ming said: Of course, this article is still too crude, and you can help him polish his pen. .

Liu Aji nodded, and suddenly said: The villain heard that Bailisheng arranged for this Niu Sanjin to live in the capital. Could he be from the General's Mansion?

Is that so?

Emperor Ming snorted, and a trace of goodwill towards Cheng Dalei in his mind turned into a bad feeling at this moment.

It's not that he doesn't know the factional struggle under his command, and it's not that he doesn't like it, he just doesn't like that one side is too powerful.

Balance is the way of kings.

Well, is there no news about Xiaoliu yet? Emperor Ming, who was crooked on the collapse, suddenly asked.

The crane team and the deer team have been dispatched. Some people say that they have seen the sixth prince in Yangzhou. Your Majesty, there should be news soon.

Emperor Ming looked at the flickering candlelight, and a faint worry flashed in his eyes. He is the emperor of the empire, and he is also a father.

The two identities of the emperor and the father are combined. On the one hand, the emperor hates all those who dare to fight for power with him, and as a father, it is impossible not to dislike his children.

And watching those people who hate and like grow up day by day, it's hard for ordinary people to imagine what Emperor Ming's mood is every day.

And Emperor Ming, who was already sixty-three years old, was indeed very old.
