Alien love

(Piao Piao, I want Piao Piao. Dear friends, Qianyu is going to apply for a contract, so please support me a lot and vote for me! Thank you!)

Ling Ye returned to the inn when the sky was getting dark. I took the cap from Ling Ye's hand and asked with a smile, "Ye, are they both safe? Er, why have you been here for so long?"

Ling Ye smiled and said, "Well, I sent them out of the city. I heard that people from the Liu residence are searching for their whereabouts. It would be dangerous not to send them out of the city."

"That's good. I hope the two of them can live happily. I think that man looks like a scholar. Maybe he can get an official position in the future. In this way, it won't humiliate the man who is willing to live and die for him." Follow me." I raised my head lightly, looked out the window and said with a smile.

"Take an official position? In the officialdom, if there is no one to support you, everything is easier said than done?" Ling Ye felt a little melancholy.

"Ah? Isn't there no imperial examination here? If there are some literati who are full of poetry and books, if they are full of talents, if no one recommends them, wouldn't they have no way to serve the country?" I asked puzzled.

"What is the imperial examination? In Xuanguo, the prime minister, the imperial censor, etc. have some students under their seats. If the court needs it, they will recommend and appoint them. It has always been like this." Ling Ye explained.

I shook my head, frowned and said: "I think you know more about the darkness of officialdom than I do. There are many people who follow the trend and follow the trend. If there are some talented people who don't share their interests, they will have no chance to serve the country. Those so-called officials It will only select some people who are beneficial to oneself to serve in the court, and the relationship between officials may indirectly lead to factions, which will definitely be detrimental to the country's overall plan."

"What you said is not unreasonable, so what about the imperial examinations you said?"

"In our country, the imperial examination is a system for the selection of officials through examinations in the feudal dynasties of the past dynasties. The establishment of the imperial examination allows students and literati from all over the country to take the examination. If you learn well, you will be an official."

"Let all the students in the whole country take the exam?" Ling Ye was a little stunned.

"That's right, the imperial examination has formed a complete system, which is divided into four levels: the courtyard examination (that is, the children's examination), the township examination, the general examination and the palace examination. The localities will go through layers of screening and selection, and finally those who can participate in the palace examination must be some talented people. Real talents and real learning. The emperor personally presides over the palace examination. Those who pass the emperor's assessment are called the emperor's disciples. They are handpicked by the emperor's imperial pen. No.1 is the champion, No.2 is the second place, and No.3 is the third. The emperor personally Appoint them, so that they will serve as officials in the same court as other officials, instead of serving as disciples of other officials, and they will be able to serve the emperor and the people better." I said while watching Ling Ye's reaction, he kept thinking Sit quietly and meditate until I finish speaking.

With a hint of excitement, he came over and held my shoulder and said, "Wei, what kind of country is that place where you are? Why do you always say and do things that surprise me?"

"Me? What I'm talking about is actually some system of our feudal dynasty a long time ago. Now we are a society where everyone is equal and the legal system is harmonious. We have no emperor, no authoritarian system, and no exploitation. We can do what we like. As I was talking, I couldn't help but think of the bustling and beautiful city of Hong Kong, and the comfort of standing in front of the window to enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbor at night, and gradually, I found my eyes were a little foggy.

"Wei, are you crying? Are you homesick?" Ling Ye asked with concern when he saw my misty eyes.

"It's okay, the sand has blinded my eyes!" Ling Ye hugged me into his arms with some distress, rubbed my back, and gently comforted my homesickness!

In the Chenbi Palace of the Empress Dowager Jingcheng of the Li Kingdom, Li Zixin, who had passed the imperial court, was paying his respects to the Empress Dowager in the main hall.Queen Lingxue was also on the side, looking like a happy family.

Eunuch Liu, who was beside the queen mother, graciously helped her and lowered her back carefully. Ling Xue brought the teacup to the queen mother, and said with a smile on her face, "Queen mother, this is the tea made by my concubine with morning dew. You can taste it." how?"

The queen mother smiled knowingly, patted the back of Lingxue's tender and smooth hand and said to her son: "Xue'er is so clever, she comes to greet my old lady every day, and makes tea for Ai's family herself. It is a blessing to have such a daughter-in-law." Good luck to the family. In the future, don’t tire yourself too much, just leave these troublesome things to the servants.”

Ling Xue raised her bright phoenix eyes, and said with a slight smile: "The queen mother is absurdly praised, it is a concubine's blessing to be able to serve the queen mother by her side, and listen to the queen mother's teachings."

"Looking at the small mouth, it's as if you've been smeared with honey. It's hard to come by for you to have this kind of heart. Aijia knows it in his heart, but Aijia hopes that you can spend more time with the emperor, and spread branches and leaves for our royal family as soon as possible." .”

"Mother's queen..." Lingxue looked at Zixin, blushing all over her face.

"Hehe, what the queen mother said is that I will work hard." Zixin also looked at Lingxue with a wicked smile on his face. Now, Lingxue was even more ashamed.

The whole family chatted for a while, Zixin got up and knelt down to the Queen Mother, and Lingxue walked together.On the way to Zhaoyang Palace, the palace people knelt down to pay respects when they saw the emperor and queen walking together.

Zixin held Lingxue's hand, but his brows were deeply furrowed.Lingxue is a smart woman, she already knew when she was in high school that something bothering the emperor must have happened in the early court.

"Your majesty, what's bothering you? I wonder if my concubine can share the emperor's worries?" Ling Xue asked with sincere concern.

"Xue'er, I'm fine." Zixin shook his head.

Ling Xue stopped and looked at Li Zixin. Seeing Ling Xue suddenly stop, Zixin also looked at her curiously.

"Your Majesty, are you worrying about the affairs of the previous dynasty? Ethics, women are not allowed to be involved in politics, and concubines should not interfere with the affairs of the previous dynasty, but now the concubine is just a wife, a wife who cares about her husband. Xueer hopes I am the one who can smooth the brows of my husband."

Lingxue stared at Zixin affectionately. At this moment, Zixin's heart was soft. Although he and Lingxue were only in a political marriage, the person in front of him really loved her and cared about her hair.

Zixin raised his hand, and gently put the broken hair on the sideburns behind his ears for Lingxue. Seeing his own shadow in those clear phoenix eyes like autumn water, he smiled and said, "Come with me Sit down on the Tongque Terrace." After speaking, she took Ling Xue's hand and walked towards the Tongque Terrace.

On the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, the two sat side by side, and Zixin pointed to the west direction and said: "There is a small Nanding Kingdom sandwiched between the border between our Li Kingdom and Xiyue, and the trade between Xiyue and Li Kingdom is very important. After passing through the Nanding Kingdom, the subjects of the Nanding Kingdom and our Li Kingdom have always paid tribute and taxes to the imperial court every year. Today there is an urgent report from the border that Xiyue has sent troops to approach the Nanding Kingdom. Xiyue has always been famous as a tiger and wolf teacher. Nanding Country is their opponent."

Ling Xue looked into the distance, the sunlight was a little dazzling, she squinted her eyes and said, "Does the Emperor want to send troops to help Nanding Kingdom repel Xiyue?"

"Guess what that Huang Nai'en who went to the Ministry of Officials said this morning? That old man even said that we Li Guo should use a gentle strategy to appease Xiyue and give him generous gifts to avoid disasters. Some people also said that I should withdraw from the army Go out of the border of Nanding. Let them call by themselves. Hehe, it’s really ridiculous. My Li country has raised these wine bags and rice bags. When something really happens, one by one has no idea, and the countermeasures proposed are the opinions of ordinary people. You How can I not be hurt?" Zixin was a little angry and punched the copper pillar.

"Your Majesty!" Ling Xue called softly. "The concubine thinks that we should figure out the purpose of Xiyue's trip right now, and then decide how to deal with it. If Xiyue is really deliberately provoking, then we should also prepare early. Nanding is a vassal state of our country, so we must not sit idly by. This kind of idea of ​​using the reputation of our Li country to exchange the interests of the vassal state for a moment of peace should be put an end to and severely punished. This Nanding country is not so much our vassal state, but it is also a barrier for us to isolate Xiyue. Now Li and Xuan are friendly allies, even if it is true If we start a war, we may not necessarily lose, so please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Zixin looked back at Lingxue, he didn't expect that a little girl like her could see it so thoroughly, that's right, Nanding Kingdom is actually a barrier to isolate Xiyue from Li Kingdom, when he thinks of those people who are full of food all day long and enjoy the imperial salary comfortably all day long The mediocre people feel even more gnashing of teeth.

"Xue'er is right. I will investigate this matter with Gongsun Hesheng, and hold back until the matter becomes unclear. If Xiyue is really provocative, my great country will definitely accompany her to the end!" Zixin said resolutely.

"Your Majesty, my concubine asked Zi'er to prepare lunch, how about you go back to Zhaoyang Palace to eat with my concubine?" Seeing that Zixin's anger gradually subsided, Ling Xue said to Zixin with a smile.

Zixin frowned, and said in a warm voice: "I was negligent, hehe, it's okay if I don't say anything, but I'm really hungry now. Then let's accompany Xueer back to have lunch now."

"Is it okay for the emperor to talk to Xue'er if he has something on his mind?" Ling Xue asked with a smile as she followed Zixin down the Tongque Terrace.

"Okay, from now on, Xue'er will smooth my frowning brows!" Ling Xue was very happy when she heard Zixin calling herself me. At this moment, he is not the emperor, but her husband!

"Thank you, husband!" Ling Xue smiled sweetly.

"Thank you, little fool?"

"Huh? I'm a little fool?"

"That's right, old man Zhang said that some folks called me a jerk, hehe, isn't that bastard paired with a fool?" Zixin laughed flamboyantly, his laughter was arrogant and unrestrained, it's been a long time since I saw him like this Oh, the supreme ruler of the Li country, her husband, has an arrogant and unrestrained appearance that is really captivating, Lingxue looks at Zixin's figure and reveals an obsessive smile!

"Your Majesty, Xiyue Kingdom is now Chen Bing Nanding Kingdom!" Mo Haoran stood at the bottom of the steps and reported to Emperor Ling Yan.

The emperor on the throne raised his brows lightly, and said with an almost invisible smile, "Oh, hehe, is this the first step of Xiyue Khan King Yekerui?"

"Your Majesty? What is the purpose of this Yeke Rui doing this?" Mo Haoran asked a little puzzled.

"Haoran, didn't you say that Xiyue would suddenly come to the city? Ye Kerui's sudden attack on Nanding Kingdom was not accidental, he probably wanted to provoke a war. Nanding Kingdom is a vassal state of Li State, and Xiyue's blatant approach to the city probably was due to his thinking." The emperor of the Li Kingdom was young and energetic, and he would definitely not let the Nanding Kingdom be trampled down by iron cavalry, he would definitely send troops to help. All military deployments are still arranged by Yekerui before the ruler of China, so do you think he will let go of those who have the opportunity to threaten his imperial power? Presumably these people will become the forwards, and the sword will have no eyes on the battlefield. The only thing left is life and death. Then the Ninth Division of Xiyue Kingdom will be shelved indefinitely, and Yeke Rui can continue to be his Xiyue Khan." Ling Yan's eyes were like a torch, and he seemed to be able to see everything with confidence. Said.

Mo Haoran looked at the emperor in front of him with some admiration, the person in front of him might have such keen insight in the whole world.

He nodded and said: "Your Majesty, should we explain this to Li Guo? Tell Li Guo about Xiyue's intentions?"

"Hahaha, no, I would like to take this opportunity to see how Li Guo will handle this matter. Li Guo is not as weak as we imagined." Ling Yan said slyly.

"Yes, my subordinates will continue to monitor their movements and report to the emperor at any time!"

"Well, is this kid Ye'er still refusing to come back?"

"Back to the emperor, yes, I have been wanting to tell the emperor that someone wanted to assassinate the third highness a few days ago, but fortunately, the highness was not injured. And the hidden guards who followed the highness were sent back by the highness, the emperor sees what to do good?"

"Understood, I understand Ye'er's temper. We have to find another way. As for who assassinated him, can we find out?"

"Your Majesty, I heard from Yinwei that there are more than a dozen assassins, and they are all first-class masters. Their martial arts are not like ours in Zhongtu, and my subordinates guess that they may be from Xiyue Kingdom."

"Oh? Is that so? Has You'er had any private contact with Xiyue's people?" Ling Yan asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, do you suspect that it's His Highness? According to my subordinates' investigation, His Highness has not had any contact with any personnel from Xiyue's side recently."

"Yeah." Ling Yan snorted softly, turned away, and sighed secretly in his heart: "You'er, how I wish all this has nothing to do with you!"

"Haoran, pay close attention to the dynamics between the two countries, it's starting to blow up today!" Ling Yan ordered, looking out the window, squinting his eyes slightly. "This subordinate obeys the order!" Mo Haoran led the order and walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
