Before I knew it, it was the day for the results to be released.
Candidates walked out of the inn and home, and swarmed towards the city gate. Among the crowd, a man in simple clothes walked slowly. His face was a little sallow, and he looked malnourished, but his eyes were particularly bright, giving people a wise, extraordinary, and insightful temperament.
.
The imperial list was posted at the gate of the imperial city, guarded by guards to prevent damage. People had arrived early and stood around the imperial list. Sometimes they gave out high school cheers, sometimes they lamented and were indignant, and sometimes they beat their chests and feet in annoyance.
Weeping bitterly, sometimes some people are so heroic that they invite friends and prepare to have a drink. There is nothing more different in life than this.
The simple man squeezed into the crowd and quickly wandered the list. He soon found his name. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and quickly backed away from the crowd. He looked up at the rising sun in the east. A line of hot tears fell down. He couldn't help but murmur to himself:
"Father, my son is in high school, your big revenge won't be long."
So sad and unwilling!
Soon, the man wiped away his tears, lowered his head and left in a hurry. When he returned to a simple inn, the boss came up to him and asked with a smile: "Mr. Sir, can you go to high school?"
"It's a blessing that I am in the top ten in high school. I have been taken care of by my boss during this period. Otherwise, there would be no chance that we would be here again. If we keep our promise, we will be richly rewarded in the future." The man bowed solemnly, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Hahaha, high school is just fine, Mr. Lang said seriously!" The boss said happily. He had a top ten person in his inn, and his reputation would soon spread. In the future, he would still worry about candidates not coming to stay for the night? Something suddenly occurred to him,
He quickly said: "By the way, there is a noble man looking for you. He is in the restaurant across the street and invites you to come over and chat. He must be in Qin High School. There is someone who values you and deliberately makes friends with him. Go quickly."
The man is not a noble person, he is just a little confused.
The boss smiled and said: "Go ahead. Once you go to high school, there will be many people looking for you. It's not surprising."
The man also understood the truth and thought that now that he was in high school, he would be able to become an official in the court one day. Even if he did not want to make friends with powerful people, at least he would not offend him. He agreed and walked towards the opposite side in confusion. He stopped at the door of Yiji Restaurant. He didn't know.
Who is it? It's too embarrassing to go in rashly without any money to pay.
A man in brocade clothes came out and asked with a smile: "But Mr. Pei Xingjian is in front of Mr. Pei Xingjian?"
"Exactly, who are you?" the man asked curiously.
"I am Wang Xuance, Minister of the Commercial Department of the Han Dynasty." Wang Xuance announced his identity. He always felt strange about the position appointed by Qin Huaidao. What is the Department of Commerce? The Six Ministries of the Tang Dynasty did not have this department, and the minister didn't know what the hell it was.
Should he be called Shangshu? The six departments of the imperial court stipulated this. He once raised doubts, but Qin Huaidao deliberately requested it, and Wang Xuance had no choice but to obey.
"King of Han?" Pei Xingjian was a little shocked. He was just a nameless and poor boy from a poor family. How could he be qualified to enter the eyes of the King of Han? He asked curiously: "I wonder what Mr. Wang is looking for?"
"The King of Han invites you, come with me." Wang Xuance smiled and turned around to go in.
Pei Xingjian became more and more curious as to why the majestic King of Han came to see him, but he couldn't refuse, and he didn't dare to refuse. He could drive the invigilator out and make a generation of great scholars faint, so he hurried to follow him.
Not long after, the two came to a private room on the second floor.
Qin Huaidao was pouring himself a drink, thinking a lot. Next to him was Li Xueyan, who was sitting quietly making tea. He was quiet and elegant. When he saw someone coming in, he glanced at it and didn't ask any questions.
"Pei Xingjian has met the King of Han!" Pei Xingjian bowed excitedly.
"Do you know me?" Qin Huaidao also looked at him.
"I have seen him several times from afar. The King of Han is a hero with unparalleled talent and unparalleled talent. He conquered Goguryeo, destroyed Tubo, and put an end to the chaos in the north. How heroic he is. He is a role model for our generation and the common people admire him greatly." Pei Xingjian said quickly, looking at him.
Enthusiastic and admiring.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "You mentioned all my achievements. It seems that you like the art of war?"
"Yes, my father is also a marcher." Pei Xingjian said truthfully.
Of course Qin Huaidao knew about Pei Xingjian, otherwise he would not have come to see him in person. He looked at him curiously and said: "Your father Pei Renji is brave and good at fighting, good at riding and shooting, and is famous in the world. Your brother Pei Xingyan is one of the best in the world, brave and invincible."
, it’s a pity that you died at the hands of the thief Wang Shichong, and three tribes were wiped out. Fortunately, God is kind and allowed you to survive.”
"Thank you, King Han, for praising father and brother!" Pei Xingjian bowed again gratefully.
"Sit down and chat." Qin Huaidao made an invitation.
"I don't dare!" Pei Xingjian said quickly.
"Sit down. Your brother Pei Xingyan fought alongside my father. He is considered a close friend. I also admire his martial arts." Qin Huaidao invited again. He really admired Pei Xingyan, not to mention that he was the prototype of Pei Yuanqing in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" in later generations.
, but Qin Qiong mentioned it frequently in my memory.
Pei Xingjian didn't know the friendship between his brother and Qin Qiong, but he knew that the two had fought side by side. Since the King of Han said they were family friends, he must be right. With the dignity of the King of Han, he couldn't deceive himself. He suddenly felt more cordial and sat down.
He said: "Thank you very much, King Han. I wonder what King Han is doing here?"
"Would you like to learn the art of war from me?" Qin Huaidao got straight to the point.
Pei Xingjian's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Seriously?"
Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded, his heart full of joy. In the memory of later generations, this guy was arranged by the imperial court to go to Zuotunwei as a Cang Cao to join the army after high school in Ming Jingke, that is, to manage the warehouse. He was appreciated by Su Dingfang and taught the art of war. Later, this guy summarized the art of war.
, created his own forty-six tactics such as "camp formations, troops, predictions of victory and defeat, and different weapons and skills". Unfortunately, it was lost. He was included among the seventy-two famous generals in the Martial Temple, which shows his high talent.
Wucheng Temple, the full name of Wuchengwang Temple, also known as Wucheng Temple, Taigong Temple, Taigong Shangfu Temple, worships Jiang Taigong and good generals of the past dynasties. In the mid-Tang Dynasty, compared with the Confucian Temple sacrificial system, the Yasheng and Ten Philosophers were first installed to worship. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty,
He was named Jiang Taigong and became King Wucheng.
Pei Xingjian was not stupid. He knew that this was an opportunity. With so many sons of princes in the court following the King of Han, he had no reason to refuse. He immediately said, "Thank you very much, King Han, for your appreciation. However, I have something that I don't know whether to say or not."
"Revenge, right?" Qin Huaidao asked.
"Can the King of Han help me?" Pei Xingjian suddenly couldn't calm down.
"What's so difficult about this? Even if you don't tell me, I will take action. Your brother and my father are good friends and they cherish each other. Now that they are being killed, how can you not say this?" Qin Huaidao said solemnly.
Pei Xingjian was overjoyed, turned over and knelt down, kowtowed solemnly and said: "To tell you the truth, I once swore a poisonous oath that I would kill my enemies with my own hands, so I took part in the scientific examination because I wanted to learn the art of war and combat skills in the army."
"Get up, there is no need for this between you and me." Qin Huaidao helped him up and said solemnly: "Your body is too weak. First go to a place to practice combat skills and strengthen your body. After three months, you can learn the art of war from my side.
, when you grow up, I will give you an army to take revenge, okay?"
"It's all arranged by the King of Han. Thanks to the King of Han for making it happen!" Pei Xingjian was overjoyed and gave a solemn salute.
"Luo Wu, arrange for someone to be sent to Luo Ying, so that Luo Ying can train him strictly and teach him well. No secrets are allowed." Qin Huaidao looked at Luo Wu who was guarding the door.
"Understood!" Luo Wu agreed and called a subordinate to give him a few words of advice.
The other party agreed, motioned for Pei Xingjian to follow him, and left in a hurry.
Qin Huaidao called Wang Xuance, handed over a list of names, and warned: "While presiding over the scientific examination, I found some useful talents. After conducting a character investigation, they are all pretty good. You can contact them on behalf of me and try your best to lobby them."
"Please rest assured, King Han." Wang Xuance took it solemnly.
"Go ahead, the imperial court will soon entrust important tasks to the people on the list, and time is running out."
"Here!" Wang Xuance agreed and hurried away.
Li Xueyan watched the other party leave and whispered: "Mr. Lang, Pei Xingjian is lucky to have met you. If he really joins the court and climbs up step by step, he doesn't know how long it will take for him to take revenge."
Qin Huaidao nodded and said: "When Emperor Gaozu pardoned the old thief Wang Shichong and exiled him to Shu, I heard that he was hunted down by Dugu Xiude, the governor of Dingzhou, in order to avenge his father. His brother and son were killed, but the old thief escaped.
, hiding his name in an unknown place, and with his family property, connections, etc., he may have become more powerful over the years, so let Skynet investigate it carefully, and don't alert the enemy."
"Don't worry!" Li Xueyan agreed. After being in charge of Skynet for a period of time, his abilities have been greatly improved, he has become more and more confident, and his actions have become more and more calm and sophisticated.
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Xueyan asked: "Tomorrow is your wedding day, let's go back and prepare. Even if we have objections to the Holy Father, sister Yuzhang is innocent."
"Report!"
At this time, a guard rushed over, cupped his fists and said, "Young Master, Yuchi Ling'er wants to see you."
"Let her come in." Qin Huaidao was a little surprised. The girl actually found her here. Something must have happened.
Soon, Yuchi Ling'er rushed in and said to Wang Xuance and Luo Wu: "You two go out and avoid it first."
The two realized something was wrong, looked at Qin Huaidao, saw Qin Huaidao nodding, and left in a hurry.
Yuchi Ling'er closed the door and said, "Brother Qin, something happened. Yu Zhang threw himself into the river."
"What? Come on, tell me, what's going on?"
Qin Huaidao's expression changed drastically, and a terrifying murderous intention erupted. His fists clenched loudly, like a ferocious beast that was about to explode into power.
