Cannon fodder is a full-level boss

132. The fifth retirement world [04]

The reason is that he doesn't want to be a useless person in the eyes of others.

He is more arrogant than others!

She always remembered that a teacher who taught Ling'er said this: "Too much wisdom will hurt you!"

Madam Yan said tentatively, "Ling'er, please listen to me first."

"Although I am a woman, I understand that almost every student in the world wants to take the imperial examination and look forward to stepping into the Golden Palace, which symbolizes wealth and power, wearing an official robe and seeing the emperor's face."

"Who didn't expect this incident?" Yan's mother's hands under the table tightly grasped her clothes, not knowing whether she was angry or nervous.

"But later, the king quickly ordered officials to investigate the case, and the wrongly accused candidates were vindicated and released from prison."

"And considering that many innocent candidates had been imprisoned, the king, out of mercy, ordered that these candidates take the imperial examination again."

Mrs. Yan lowered her eyes and paused, saying, "The time is set in five days."

Mrs. Yan's heart tightened. She really didn't want to see her son's hope being shattered again.

Master Yan continued, "This exam is a new exam. Not only is the difficulty of the questions increased, but two new questions that have never been asked before have been added."

"In this way, the exam time is three days longer than the previous seven days, a total of ten days."

The two extra subjects will not be like the current world, where the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor is turned into painting and handicrafts.

Yan Ling thought jokingly in his heart.

Yan Ling was distracted for a while, but the atmosphere in the room became tense because of the short silence.

Mrs. Yan thought Yan Ling was silent and thought he was thinking about the exam.

A shock came to her heart.

Madam Yan stood up anxiously, not caring about her manners, "It was only seven days last time, and Ling'er almost lost half his life."

"If he stays in there for a full ten days for this exam, and is still at the forefront of this incident that has not been completely settled, who knows what will happen next!"

"It's not that mother doesn't want you to take the imperial examination. You think this idea is good, and mother supports you from the bottom of her heart."

"But no matter what, ideals are important, but you have to save your life... No, you have to take good care of your body, so... So if it's possible, mother thinks we shouldn't take the exam in five days?"

"Well, okay." Yan Ling nodded.

Compared to Yan's mother's attitude of facing a great enemy, Yan Ling really looks a little heartless.

The movements of his hands were not disturbed at all. He picked up a piece of meat with his right chopsticks and put it in the bowl. The whole movement was smooth.

Originally, I thought that he had to eat light food because he was recovering from illness, but I didn't expect that today's dishes were also like this. It seems that this world should still be at the stage of cooking ingredients with plain water or roasting them with fire.

"Mother thinks... No, no, no! What does my son mean?" Madam Yan was shocked and her eyes were full of disbelief.

For ten days, he was trapped in a hot and humid place, unable to take a bath, unable to eat hot meals, and there might be several unspeakable smells around him at all times. In addition, the weather is still so cold now. He just came out of the prison and didn't want to try it again.

And, as Yan's mother said, although the imperial examination has been restarted, who knows what the reason for the restart is? If there are some unknown political factors involved, even if they pass the exam, I am afraid that the top few people may not be able to get what they really want in their hearts.

Rank is important, but the grace of the emperor is equally important.

In a porridge pot that has been burned by a rat shit, even if the rice and water are changed, how can the host not feel disgusted?

In order to prevent the meal from getting cold, Yan Ling continued,

"Yes, after all, five days is not enough for me to recover."

No, even if he recovers, he doesn't want to do such self-abuse. Although being in a high position can get the envy of others, it is not a rare thing for him, Yan Ling.

And, from ancient times to the present, there is a truth that the higher you stand, the greater the responsibility you bear.

Yan Ling's dream is not to become a model worker. After all, he doesn't need to brush reputation and task accumulation now. It's beautiful to eat and drink all day, visit pavilions, and appreciate flowers.

By the way, he still has to do something, such as eating in this world.

After all, it's not a good thing to eat like this every day.

In order to consolidate his own personality, Yan Ling didn't change too quickly and said something at once.

"Mother, didn't you say it just now? The imperial examination held again this time has two more subjects. I'm afraid that I will end up being a joke if I don't prepare well."

"My son is still young now. He can wait for a few years. The imperial examination is held every four years. These few years are just enough for me to review and strive to get what I want next time."

"Of course, of course, my son is so smart, he will definitely get what he wants."

Yan's mother was full of joy.

And after four years, maybe her son's body would be much stronger, Yan's mother was excited.

The big event was over, and Yan's father and mother finally put their hearts at ease.

...

The days passed quickly, and ten days passed unknowingly.

On the day when the imperial examination officially started, Yan's father and mother were still a little worried, saying that Yan's father seemed to have exchanged someone on duty that day, just to be ready for various situations at home.

However, nothing happened that day.

Yan Ling ate oranges and melon seeds in the yard for an afternoon.

Yan's mother found that since her son recovered from his illness, he didn't even participate in the poetry gatherings he used to like to attend. Apart from sleeping and eating, the most he did on weekdays was lying on a bamboo chair in the yard to bask in the sun.

Yan's mother once asked the doctor who had been treating her son. The doctor said that getting more sun could replenish the yang energy of heaven and earth, which was indeed a good thing for the recovery of the body.

So, the day that made Yan's mother feel like she was facing a great enemy passed peacefully.

...

Not to mention since the founding of the dynasty, even before this dynasty, cheating in the imperial examination and then setting up a second examination in the same year was almost impossible.

But now it really happened.

Not only the ordinary people in front of them were puzzled by this matter, but even the officials of the dynasty really couldn't figure it out.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, I heard that the person who participated in the invigilation this time was your former student. I wonder..." Some of them couldn't help but be curious.

The old man walking in front didn't even give the other party a glance.

Li Hansheng looked at the hall getting closer and closer in front of him, and the tightness in his heart became more and more intense.

As the left prime minister of the dynasty, he naturally knew things that others didn't know, but it was because he knew that he felt indignant. He had known about the cheating in the imperial examination for a long time. Although he was not the one behind it, he was almost the one who pushed it behind the scenes.

It was a pity that the candidates who were wronged in this incident were defeated, but if they could defeat the foundation of the right prime minister in this incident, it would be a worthwhile thing.

Li Hansheng clenched his fists under his purple official robe.

But he never thought that all this would be ruined by a little princess.

No, it should be said that it was by that useless monarch.

It was just a girl's soft heart, so the man listened to it and believed it, and changed the original imperial edict every day, which was really too childish.

And this kind of person was actually the emperor he had been and would be loyal to with his family.

It was really ridiculous!

That kind of person - what virtue and ability!

As the footsteps and conversations beside him increased, when he looked up again, the left prime minister Li Hansheng had already put away his dissatisfaction, but in his heart, a small seed had already taken root and sprouted.

Just waiting to break through the ground.

...

Yan Ling didn't care about the following things at all.

Now, Yan Ling's small courtyard is like his private little world. Compared with the crowded world now, even a 20-square-meter room can only fit five or six people. Now life is too comfortable.

A small courtyard belonging to Yan Ling alone is about the size of a villa now. Although it is a bit empty, there is no rockery and flowing water that often serve as the background in film and television dramas, but only a bare ground with flat stones without bricks, but it is spacious and comfortable to the eyes. With just this point, Yan Ling is satisfied.

At least in the future, he wants to tinker with some things.

Through memory, he can understand that the country where he lives now, Yanyu Country, is not the only country in this world. There are some small countries around it.

And this country should be located in the south, and Yan Ling has felt it in the past few days.

Although it is winter now, it is colder in the house than outdoors during the day. At least there is still sunshine in the yard outside, which makes him feel alive again.

Today, the sun came out outside. When the soft sunlight fell on the skin, it was like soft feathers scraping the skin, which was particularly comfortable.

Maybe it was because the original owner often spent time in the yard in the past, so Yan Ling found that the sunbathing equipment was really complete.

When Yan Ling sat on the chair.

The servants beside him had prepared all kinds of snacks for him, and even the tea had been poured for him. It was warm and just the right temperature for him to drink.

After taking a sip, he would be refilled in the next second. The service was so thoughtful that it was outrageous.

However, Yan Ling said he liked it very much.

The servants beside him were helping Yan Ling peel oranges and put the peeled oranges on a plate.

The fragrance of oranges slowly spread in the sun, with a faint bitter fragrance mixed with tea leaves.

Surprisingly, but not weird, it was a refreshing smell that made people feel calm when they smelled it.

When he was tired, Yan Ling picked up a book on the table and was about to read it to wake himself up.

Suddenly, he heard a sound of sips.

Yan Ling turned his head quickly and found that at the door of his yard, a small head was popping up there.

"Xuan'er?"

Yan Ling read out the familiar name in his memory.

The master of the Yan family only married one woman, Madam Yan. The two of them loved each other very much. In addition to giving birth to a child, Yan Ling, when they were young, they gave birth to another child a few years ago.

The child was the second young master of the Yan family - Yan Xuan.
