"The imperial court actually directly appointed Xiong Xin as the examiner. It seems that the imperial court has great ambitions this time..."

In Xianyang City, in a small but quiet courtyard, Wang Ling and Yong Chi sit opposite each other. While Wang Ling refilled Yong Chi's tea, he and Yong Chi discussed what they had seen today.

Although Lu Pheasant repeatedly invited guests yesterday, and even had a separate cross-courtyard prepared for them, but Liu Ji was not at home, the two of them still used the excuse of visiting their teachers and friends, and politely declined Lu Pheasant's kindness.

After coming out of Zhenyuan General Mansion, I rented this rather quiet courtyard nearby.

Yong Chi gently touched the tea cup with his hand, thanked him, and then nodded in agreement.

"The imperial court wants to use high-ranking officials to divide the people of the six countries and disintegrate their oppositional spirit..."

Having said this, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip with a leisurely expression.

"Speaking of which, this is the opportunity I've been waiting for..."

Wang Ling couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"I just don't know what those noble and wealthy families in Yingdi will feel when they hear this news..."

When Yong Chi heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Although he and Wang Ling both came from wealthy families in Peixian County, compared with those noble and wealthy families in Yingdi, they were really no different from country bumpkins.

Therefore, it is difficult for them to have any deep empathy with the wealthy nobles of Ying.

There are Li Chen, Xu Zhi, Zhuo Yi and others in the front, who became famous in the first examination and have already become the assistant ministers of the Qin cabinet. In the front are Cao Shen, Xiao He, Liu Bang, Lu Wan and others, who have achieved fame and glory and are the role models of the family. Finally, it would be a lie to say that they are not moved.

Therefore, when they heard the news that the Qin-Zhu Alliance was almost uprooted by the imperial court, they, including the families behind them, did not hesitate and immediately made the decision to participate in the second imperial examination of the Qin imperial court.

This is also the reason why the two of them rushed to Xianyang in time for the imperial examination.

There are not a few people who make choices like them.

How many people with lofty ideals can we think of since ancient times, when the situation is stronger than the people and they starve to death without eating Zhou Su?

In the face of the real interests of the family, most people are just ordinary mediocre people.

Of course, no matter how the scholars from the Chu region who came to take the examination felt, the news that Xiong Xinzhuo was promoted to the position of admonishing doctor and served as the examiner of liberal arts for this imperial examination was like a piece of news to those scholars from the hometown of the Six Kingdoms in Shandong. It's a heart-stimulating drug, and it's exhilarating.

As the time for the imperial examination approached, the atmosphere in Xianyang City gradually became serious.

Even in the past, the number of young scholars who wanted to make friends and go out to hang out and drink has obviously decreased. Many people have begun to study behind closed doors. Even many young people walking on the street have scrolls in their hands. A thin book, no matter where it goes, I will habitually take it out and take a look at it.

If you look carefully, you will find that it is a required subject for the imperial examination, "Forging the Soul of the Army" that the Emperor Taisun personally corrected.

Although this level has nothing to do with knowledge, it plays a veto role. No matter what they think in their hearts, they must memorize this "Forging the Soul of the Army" and then fully understand the spirit inside...

It is in such an atmosphere.

Two shocking news shocked the whole of Xianyang.

First, General Zhenyuan, the acting governor of Anxi County, Liu Bang, was rewarded. After three days of planning, the results finally came into being.

Becoming another newly promoted marquis in Great Qin after Han Xin!

It completely entered the field of vision of the Qin Dynasty.

Xiang Yu, who had just won a dismal victory in the military exercise with Peng Yue, heard the news about Liu Jifenghou before he could get over the setback.

Once upon a time, he was almost within reach of that position!
Now... he locked himself in the study and stayed bored for a whole day without coming out. Later, his wife Zhao Wan called him and he managed to regain some energy.

However, there was an unprecedented sense of depression between his brows.

After dinner, I walked with Zhao Wan in the back garden. After a long time, I finally made up my mind. I turned around, looked at Zhao Wan's delicate and beautiful face, and said softly.

"Madam, in the past few days, I want to say goodbye to the emperor's grandson..."

Zhao Wan stopped in shock.

Looking at Xiang Yu, who had a hint of guilt in his expression, he couldn't help but smile after hesitating for a moment.

"My husband is a man with great ambitions. He should be made a marquis immediately and his reputation will be spread all over the world. How can I become a hindrance to you and become a burden to my husband..."

Having said this, she moved lightly and stepped forward to hold Xiang Yu's big hand.

"Husband, don't worry about me. Your Majesty and the Emperor's Grandson have always been close to me. I have my uncle here to help take care of me. You don't have to worry..."

Xiang Yu looked at his considerate wife and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Madam, please rest assured and wait for me, I will be back soon -"

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and gently stroked Zhao Wan's slightly bulging belly.

"When I go out this time, I want to win a marquis for my child, so that he can know that his Aweng will never be weaker than anyone else in his life!"

……

Although he had already had a premonition in his heart, when his husband's decree of making him a marquis actually came down, Lu Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed and felt as if he was in a cloud.

This makes her a Marchioness!

I really didn’t misjudge the person at first——

My husband is a capable person!
For a time, there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him. Even the current emperor's grandson asked his second brother Zhao Qi to send generous congratulations on his behalf.

As fellow villagers, Wang Ling and Yong Chi came to visit again. As old friends, they were busy helping the Suiyuan Marquis' Mansion receive guests. They were so busy that they barely had time to touch the floor all day long.

Yong Chi is better. He is the legitimate son of the Yong family. He has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child. He is in good health and can hold up well. This was not the case with Wang Ling. Although he also came from a wealthy family, he was born as a commoner and was no longer among the five majors of his master's family. Therefore, before the family decided to let him take part in the imperial examination, his life was beyond description of poverty.
If you don't have enough nutrition on a daily basis, your body's bones will inevitably become a little thin.

It was a bit hard on the way here. I haven't rested for the past few days. I was busy all day long today. I was so tired that I was sweating. When I came back in the evening, I felt a little sore all over. Feeling comfortable.

He thought he was too tired and didn't take it seriously. When Yong Chi asked someone to boil hot water and was about to ask him to take a bath, he had already closed his clothes, lay down and fell asleep.

Yong Chi hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't bear to wake him up, so he simply helped him pull up a thin quilt and let him rest. As a result, Wang Ling fell down early the next morning.

"Brother Wang, how do you feel..."

Yong Chi stopped and looked at Wang Ling, whose face was a little flushed, and couldn't help but frown.

Wang Ling reluctantly stood up and smiled.

"It's okay. I'm probably too tired these days. If you rest for a few days, you'll be fine. Brother Yong, just go on your own. Remember to say sorry to Mrs. Lu for me..."

Yong Chi hesitated for a moment, and then he felt relieved when he saw that Wang Ling did not look too serious. However, he still told his entourage to ask a doctor to come over for treatment, and then hurried out. .

But when he came back from the Suiyuan Marquis Mansion, Wang Ling had already developed a high fever. (End of chapter)
