Xiao Xuance nodded lightly, "This puts me at ease. On the way, Baiguan and I have already planned the first imperial examination to select officials. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Zhao Kang shook his head, "It's better to just follow the old rules. The selected officials will just send a batch to Yangzhou when the time comes."
Xiao Xuance thought for a moment, "When we get to the imperial capital, I will order some craftsmen to come to Yangzhou City to fully build this pilot site as quickly as possible."
"Then the design on your side will have to keep up."
"You don't need to worry at all. I'm short of people right now, and all the land has been planned."
Zhao Kang then asked: "Have you and the officials decided on the rewards for the officials and soldiers next?"
"The list has been compiled."
Xiao Xuance sighed, "If the territory hadn't been so big now, I wouldn't have been able to accommodate so many officials." .??.
"That's good."
The official business was almost done, Xiao Xuance rolled his eyes, "Old Zhao, that Elizabeth?"
"what do you mean?"
Xiao Xuance sat next to Zhao Kang, "We are good brothers, right?"
"Of course!" Zhao Kang said seriously.
Xiao Xuance: "Look, you already have five wives. One more sister will definitely kill you, so give this Elizabeth to my good brother."
"That's what you were thinking about."
Zhao Kang rolled his eyes, "Aren't you afraid Qingluan will beat you to death?"
"No matter how you say it, I am still an emperor! What's wrong with marrying one or two more concubines? Dare you take action? Abolish her and establish a new queen!"
"Yo yo yo, you're even more stubborn now."
Zhao Kang sneered and yawned, "If you want to do this, just go after it yourself. You don't need to ask me. You can go back."
"Hey, I'm afraid you've already taken action. Let's make a deal first if Qingluan beats me.
You have to hold on tight~"
"I'll hand her the knife!"
"Damn it, are you still brothers?"
The next day.
The officials set off again, and Zhao Kang naturally followed to receive the title. The RV that he had spent a lot of money to build had come in handy.
There was still room for all five wives. Wu Xinyi and Qin Yufeng, two girls who had not seen each other for many days, walked out of the carriage and nestled next to Zhao Kang.
Arrive at Yandu City.
Xiao Xuance moved directly into the palace, and the rest of the officials were also accommodated.
The busiest people at the moment are Fang Lin and the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette. They have to plan and arrange the prayers for offering sacrifices to heaven, etc.
Zhao Kang didn't care about anything and had no intention of taking care of anything. He spent some money on a boat and took the beauty to Yanhu Lake.
The lake view in the evening has a special kind of beauty. The lake surface appears golden under the embellishment of the setting sun.
The tips of her toes gently hit the water waves, and Yufeng smiled gracefully and looked at the people around her.
Zhao Kang turned around and smiled and hugged the slender waist, while Wu Xinyi lay in his arms with a sweet smile.
The sound of the flute comes from far away, and a lone boat approaches.
The woman in white was sitting on the bow of the boat, with a bottle of unfinished wine in front of her.
Zhao Kang's eyes moved slightly and he looked at the person opposite.
Gongsun Yunxiu was also a little surprised and chuckled, "Master Imperial Master is in great spirits."
"I've met Gongsun and everyone."
Qin Yufeng and Wu Xinyi, who had met Gongsun Yunxiu before, quickly said hello, and the former responded with a smile.
Zhao Kang: "Why are you here? Didn't you mean to walk around?"
Gongsun Yunxiu smiled and said, "I just came back today. I never thought that I would meet you here in Yanhu. I heard that hundreds of officials have entered Yandu, and the next step is to make the capital?"
Zhao Kang nodded, and Gongsun Yunxiu added, "Now that the territory is expanding, the original officials should not be enough, so there will be an imperial examination to elect officials next?"
Seeing that Zhao Kang did not refute, Gongsun Yunxiu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Then, can you please ask the Imperial Master to inform the officials so that the scholars and students of the previous dynasty can also participate in this imperial examination."
Zhao Kang: "Of course. Have you forgotten what we said before in Yuanjiang County?"
Gongsun Yunxiu smiled, and a stone fell from his heart. He raised the wine bottle and shook it, "Thank you so much, Master Imperial Master. I won't bother you too much."
Zhao Kang just wanted to persuade him to stay, but Gongsun Yunxiu had already asked the boatman to punt the boat.
Wu Xinyi sighed, "This Gongsun master is really a rare and wonderful woman in the world."
"No, this guy is good at both civil and military skills. He can beat me with one hand and make me run away with my head in my arms. That's incredible."
Qin Yufeng blinked her eyes, "Is the young master's heart moved again?"
"Are you jealous?" Zhao Kang said with a smile.
Qin Yufeng pouted, "How dare you."
"Look at the little pout, let the young master have a taste."
Laughter rang out and the ship gradually moved away.
Looking closely, Gongsun Yunxiu put down the wine bottle, and the boatman came forward, "Miss, is he the King of Zhao?"
"Um."
The driver clicked his tongue, "This guy is really not afraid at all."
"If you have any news, just tell me." Gongsun Yunxiu said.
The coachman gloated, "Those old guys who usually hide their heads and tail are all in the city now, waiting for the new emperor to worship the heaven tomorrow. This
Even though King Zhao is powerful, he may still suffer disaster."
"That's it."
Gongsun Yunxiu smiled and said, "I didn't do anything before, but now the world has been settled. Are you coming out to show your prestige?"
The boatman scratched his head, "It seems that someone has received news that in the future, Qianguo will have a decree aimed at martial artists, and they will ban martial arts from all over the world."
"Now everyone has realized that this was the reason why Prince Zhao caused so much trouble during the war, so we decided to give the new emperor and Prince Zhao a blow."
"Who are all here?" Gongsun Yunxiu said softly.
The boatman thought for a while, "Basically all the old guys who don't usually walk around the rivers and lakes are here. After all, Prince Zhao's strength is somewhat unfathomable."
"A few of Lao Chan's old friends have also come to join in the fun, at least nine of them are of third grade."
"That's it."
The woman said something, her expression remained calm, and after a moment she said, "Go and tell them, those who think they can withstand my sword, just stay in the city."
The coachman was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to react and cautiously said, "You don't need it, miss? Those guys just want to kill the new emperor and the majesty of King Zhao and make them look embarrassed."
"Can you withstand my sword?" Gongsun Yunxiu asked curiously.
The driver coughed several times, "I understand."
Gongsun Yunxiu turned around and picked up the jade flute, and the flute sounded softly.
The next morning.
Hundreds of civil and military officials and tens of thousands of soldiers stood in the crowd. Xiao Xuance read a prayer to offer sacrifices to heaven under the eyes of everyone, then burned the prayers and put on the emperor's crown.
Zhao Kang, who was at the top of the list of officials below, looked around, muttering in his heart.
"It's strange. Those powerful auras that I noticed yesterday haven't appeared yet?"
