Chapter 2059 The eldest princess who escaped death (71)
Ye Gong's daughters, except for those born to Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Chen, were all sent to Xiaofan country for marriage, and basically did not end well.
Also because Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Chen's natal families were powerful, no courtier dared to mention them.
Later, when there were not enough princesses, Ye Gong accepted the daughter of a minister to marry as his adopted daughter.
At this time, Ye Gong and the peace-seeking parties realized that sending the princess to marry was of no use at all, and would only make Xiaofan Kingdom more and more arrogant.
However, if troops were sent out at this time, all the smaller countries would probably join forces to deal with Dai Viet.
Even if Dai Viet is not defeated, the damage will be heavy.
They also regretted that if they had beaten up the first small country from the beginning, even if they paid some price, the result would not be like this.
Later, when the original owner died, the development of Dai Viet was no longer known.
It was also because of this memory that Qian Yan felt a bit disgusted with Ye Gong.
After all, he was the founding emperor. It is rare to see someone as cowardly as Ye Gong, who completely lost his fighting spirit and almost married his daughter.
But having said that, at least half of the credit for Ye Gong's success in this world was due to the entire Jiao family.
Maybe the Jiao family was disliked in some aspects. If the Jiao family was around, Ye Gong would not be so timid and would still have the drive to compete with the Jiao family.
With no one around to supervise him, he basically let himself go.
Qian Yan met Ye Zhi in Qunying Pavilion. Of course, Ye Zhi's current name is Jiao Hui, and he is her cousin.
Here, they acted out a scene where cousins get to know each other.
[I feel like Brother Ye has lost his sense of innocence.]
[After all these years, it’s really hopeless to be naive again.]
[Have you forgotten that this is the future general Wang Jiao Hui, how can he be a fool? 】
When Qian Yan returned to the palace to see Ye Gong, she told him about meeting a distant cousin of the Jiao family today without waiting for Ye Gong to ask.
Ye Gong knew that the Jiao family was once a big family, but there were basically no members in the direct line, but there were still some side branches.
"My cousin is here to take the military general test this time."
When Ye Gong heard that he was taking the test as a military commander, he didn't want to ask any more questions. The world was now at peace, and the main court was in the court.
"How is Jiao Hui's martial arts?" Ye Gong asked politely.
Qian Yan shook his head: "We don't know yet. Even if he is a cousin of the Jiao family, the exam is fair. Whoever is good at martial arts will still have to see the real seal on the stage."
Ye Gong was satisfied, what a stupid son he was, he didn't even know that he had such a good opportunity to keep two people by his side.
It really reassured him.
[The old emperor feels that His Majesty is stupid again.]
[Haha, Your Majesty doesn’t keep people around because Jiao Hui can play a greater role. How can you do big things if you keep them around? 】
[That is, that is, those people given by the old emperor are usually enough, and they can also confuse the old emperor. 】
The time has finally come for the selection exam. The martial arts exam and the literary exam are held in two time periods.
First there is the written part of the literary test, and then the martial arts test.
Qian Yan represented the emperor and sat in the position of the invigilator. She was one of the invigilators.
This is the first selection test, and the questions are not difficult. There are two literary tests, one written test for screening, which lasts two days, and one for the results of the written test, which will be interviewed by the emperor and the invigilator together, and more
It is a test of the on-the-spot performance of these scholars.
Gong Yuhuai had not seen Qian Yan for several months and was afraid of the impact. Even though he knew that the other party was sitting in the examiner's seat, he restrained himself from looking over and stayed in the small cubicle to wait.
