But in this way, the submission paperwork before the scientific examination is just a nomination certificate. When the imperial examination is over and you get the official title, you will naturally have a seat, and you will be automatically included in the relationship group of five surnames and seven wangs. The emperor has been emptied, so Li Ercai's teeth itch with hatred for the five surnames and seven Wangwang.

After listening to Li Er's description, Du Shaoqing laughed loudly: "Maybe it's God's will. It's his five surnames, Qiwang, who went downhill. I'm rebuilding the city this time. According to the plan, in each city, [-] households will build a school." , and those who will enter school at that time will be these poor people who have no roots.

Once this group of people grows up, coupled with our secret support, elite talents are selected from them, I am afraid that the five surnames and seven wangs will no longer be useful. "

An hour later, Du Shaoqing walked out of the palace with a little exhaustion. Li Er was in a good mood, and immediately summoned a few confidants and veterans to secretly prepare a big move. A fierce battle.

Du Shaoqing didn't care about these things, he said everything he could say, the emperor and the prime minister should worry about state affairs, now he is going to pick up his naughty daughter, I don't know how the Duke of Wei Li Jing is doing now?

Chapter 318 Foreign Envoy?

When they arrived at Duke Wei's mansion, Du Shaoqing came to ask for an audience. Li Jing was still concentrating on writing a book, so he didn't see any outsiders on weekdays. The old housekeeper saw that it was Du Shaoqing, and took the initiative to welcome him out, "Madam Du is here to look for the eldest lady. Learn to play chess with the master, and I will take you there."

Xiao Xuanxuan was Zhang Chuchen's closed disciple, and Zhang Chuchen had designated her as the eldest lady of Duke Wei's mansion the first day she entered, so the servants dared not treat her as an outsider.

When he came to the study, before he entered the door, Du Shaoqing heard his daughter's soft and cute voice, which seemed to be urging Li Jing to play chess, "Oh, grandpa, you play chess too slowly, and you have pulled half of your beard. But what should I do next?"

That's not right, my daughter's words seem to be logically confused. You urge others to move, shouldn't you be asking: What's your next move?

Out of curiosity, Du Shaoqing stepped into the study room. Xiao Xuanxuan looked at it, got down from her seat happily, and threw herself into her father's arms, "Daddy, why are you here? Did you miss me? Hehe, I knew it.

But you don't have to worry, I'm here, the master and the bearded old man treat me very well.

I will go back to live after I finish learning his chess playing skills. Now it seems that it will be almost the same in a day or two. "

What, what?Du Shaoqing was stunned, did I hear correctly, a day or two?My daughter, you have lived here for less than ten days in total. Duke Wei is well versed in the art of war, and his ability to play chess is one of the best in the Tang Dynasty. How confident are you that you can finish it in ten days?

Du Shaoqing saluted Li Jing in embarrassment and said hello. Li Jing's face was dark, and he couldn't say much in front of Xiao Xuanxuan, so he hummed and asked Xuanxuan to go out to play for a while.

When the child was far away and there were only two people left in the study, Li Jing got up and searched for something back and forth in the study. Du Shaoqing didn't know, so, "Uncle, what are you looking for?"

"Where's my knife? I remember that I have a good horizontal knife in my collection? Why can't I find it at a critical moment?"

When Du Shaoqing heard this, his scalp was numb with fright, and he hurried forward and hugged the handsome old man, "Uncle calm down, my nephew is wrong, I shouldn't let the child disturb my uncle's book, I will take the child away immediately, You don't have to look for a knife anymore."

After a long time, Li Jing was finally persuaded. The old man was so angry that his beard shook, "Even if you don't come, little Xuanxuan won't be able to stay for a few days. I really don't know where your luck comes from. This kid has the talent of never forgetting. The old man has already taught her to record all the chess books you recorded here, and I don’t have anything to teach her.”

"This, how is it possible? Although Xuanxuan has a better memory, she doesn't have a photographic memory. I remember that it was a bit difficult to endorse last year." Du Shaoqing exclaimed.

"How old was she last year? How old is she this year? Children will grow, but memorizing chess records is useless, so the old man has been teaching her to fight the enemy flexibly for the past two days. Unfortunately, this child is very active and seems impatient. Watch me deduce the new chess record by myself and memorize it, and you can think of a way after you bring it back." Li Jing reprimanded Du Shaoqing, and also pointed out Xiao Xuanxuan's shortcomings.

Du Shaoqing said, no wonder, it turned out that this old man was playing chess alone just now, and Xiao Xuanxuan was urging the opponent to move, playing chess with herself, how much trouble would it be?It's really not easy. From the outside, Li Jing is indeed a bit haggard.

"Uncle's expression is not very good. I guess he has been tired recently. Don't be careless. My nephew will go back and prescribe some medicine for calming the nerves and nourishing the nerves." Du Shaoqing said with concern.

Li Jing snorted and didn't refuse, and laughed and scolded: "Your heart is so wicked, knowing that the old man is devoted to writing books, you still push the task of coaxing the children here? Your father-in-law is also a master at chess, why don't you find him?

Did you know that in half a month, the Three Kingdoms book will be completed? "

"Three Kingdoms? Really? So there will be another military book handed down from generation to generation?" Du Shaoqing exclaimed, then remembered the bamboo paper, and immediately told old Li Jing, the other party couldn't close his mouth in surprise.Can these things be done?

In the end, the two agreed that when the book of the Three Kingdoms was completed, it would be sent to the palace for the emperor to decide whether to publish it as a set. After all, this thing is a unique art of war, and it must be kept secret.

On the way home with her daughter, Xiao Xuanxuan was still complaining, saying that the bearded grandfather didn't have much to learn, and he memorized all the chess records by himself in just a few days.

Du Shaoqing tapped and said: "It's not enough to memorize chess records. Di Renjie has already finished memorizing chess records, and he can do what you know."

"Ah? Then what should we do? Didn't he say that the old man with a long beard is the best chess player? Couldn't he let me beat those scoundrels in the medical center? Is there anyone else who is better than him?" Xiao Xuanxuan said disappointedly.

Thinking of Li Jing's words, Du Shaoqing blurted out, "Yes, your grandfather is also a master, even better than the bearded grandfather."

"Really? That would be great.

Little Miaomiao, turn around, don't go home, let's go to the palace. "Speaking, Xiao Xuanxuan grabbed the tiger's big ears and turned around shouting.

This move almost caused Du Shaoqing to fall off his horse. As he imagined his daughter pestering the emperor to play chess every day, causing Li Er to burn out, Du Shaoqing felt a chill in his body. I'm afraid the emperor would not be able to spare him. Old Li Jing would Angrily looking for a knife, what is the emperor looking for?Xuanjia Army?

"Good girl, don't go to the palace, can dad play chess with you? Your grandfather is still busy"

Du Shaoqing couldn't persuade her, Xiao Xuanxuan cried and wanted to die, but in the end she had no choice but to compromise.

"Let's talk about it first. You can't memorize the chess records when you go this time. It's useless. Let your grandfather arrange for you to play against different people every day. If you can win a game for ten days in a row, then you will be able to Di Renjie has been defeated." Du Shaoqing urged.

"Really? Well, I'll listen to Daddy.

But are you sure you don't want to accompany me to find grandpa? "Xiao Xuanxuan said suspiciously.

"No need, I'll send you to the gate of the palace. You can go alone on your little meow. Anyway, no one will stop you, and you can find your grandfather. Just don't say that I sent you there." Du Shaoqing shook his head hurriedly , praying in my heart, this little devil must not cause trouble.

Watching his daughter enter the palace gate, Du Shaoqing drove his horse home, and unexpectedly met a group of foreign envoys on the street, with a lot of carriages and horses, who looked like they were paying tribute. , Which country came to pay tribute to Datang?Don't the rumors say that foreign countries will only come to take advantage of it?

Thinking of this, Du Shaoqing finally remembered that he is still the famous Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, but what he used to do was to deceive other countries, and now that people come to pay tribute, he probably won't need him.

Back home, the princess smiled and asked, "I thought you went out today to pick up your daughter. Why did you come back alone? It seems that you don't care about this girl too much."

"How could it be? On the way I took her home, this child wanted to play chess with His Majesty on a whim, and went straight back to the palace. I couldn't persuade her, so I could only watch her go to find her grandfather. I really loved her for nothing. "Du Shaoqing also pretended to be injured.

The princess was already stunned, going to the palace?Looking for her grandfather?God, isn't it enough to harm a Duke's mansion?

Chapter 319 I Didn't Hear You Say It Again

It has been almost two months since the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Tubo Kingdom, and the envoys from various countries have gradually arrived in Chang'an. Chang'an City, which was originally peaceful in the hot summer, suddenly became lively.

Two days ago, Du Shaoqing met the first group of envoys who arrived in Chang'an. They were Huihe people from the north. They traveled all the way from the northern grassland to the south, and they were the fastest to come.

But on this day, Tang Jian, the Minister of Honghe Temple, Ju Guogong, came to the door suddenly, and wanted to invite Bai Fan to go to Honglu Temple to handle official affairs. What did Bai Fanxin say about the situation?I am an idler, how can I have any diplomacy?Could it be that there are too many foreign envoys and Honglu Temple is not manned enough?

In the living room, Tang Jian said anxiously: "I know that the son-in-law is a very busy person. If it wasn't an emergency, the old man wouldn't bother me. I'm afraid you have to do it this time."

Du Shaoqing smiled: "Ju Guogong's words are serious. I heard that the envoys this time are all here to congratulate the Great Tang Dynasty against Tubo, and they are not here to cause trouble. How can there be any emergency?"

Tang Jian was mature and prudent, but he was not as calm as Du Shaoqing when he talked and laughed. He said in a deep voice: "This morning, the Western Turkic envoys arrived in Chang'an. Their luggage weighed hundreds of cars. They belonged to the largest team of envoys. The most important thing is , most of the goods are all hung with colors."

Um?Suffering?Du Shaoqing raised his eyebrows, since he has been in Datang for more than a year, he naturally knows what this means, and wearing a lottery on an item is a betrothal gift.

"Mr. Tang said that the Western Turks are here to make a marriage? And they are also asking for a marriage with Princess Datang?"

"Yes, according to the usual practice, the diplomatic envoys of the two countries will notify in advance, but this time the countries seem to have a private agreement to come at the same time, and there is no meeting.

If the Western Turks really came to ask for marriage, then they will submit their credentials to His Majesty within two days. "Tang Jian explained.

Before Du Shaoqing could open his mouth, the old minister said indignantly, "To tell you the truth, I have never advocated marrying a princess with relatives, but there are such a large group of rotten scholars in the court who are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, saying that the two countries should make peace with each other." Good-neighborliness and friendship have existed since ancient times, and sometimes His Majesty is very restricted.

Presumably this kind of thing, after the Tubo incident last time, the son-in-law should have a deep understanding. "

Nodding his head, Du Shaoqing sneered: "Exchanging women for peace is a way to seek perfection for a weak country. Now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, if you marry outsiders and get married, isn't that a fool?"

"That's exactly the reason. It's a pity that the old man, the official of Honghe Temple, can't stop these people who want to marry with a slight word, so he urgently seeks help from his son-in-law. If you want to stop them from getting married, the best way is to press the button before they submit their credentials. This group of people."
