Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 412: Daiyue is gone

Practicing calligraphy is painful, especially practicing calligraphy with a brush, which requires the wrist to be suspended in the air. Xu Jinyu's wrist is sore after practicing every day.

As if afraid that Xu Jinyu would not practice well, the emperor sent an old Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy, who had beautiful handwriting.

Especially when he was teaching Xu Jinyu, he was so patient.

Compared to Xu Jinyu who only needed to practice calligraphy, Princess Tianhua and Xu Jinyu's sister Xu Feiyu could learn together.

Time passed in such a tense atmosphere. In the blink of an eye, the imperial examination and the examination for students of higher learning started almost at the same time.

Xu Jinyu's house arrest was finally lifted.

After sending her sister and Princess Tianhua to the examination room, Xu Jinyu returned home.

The Tongsheng examination will last for three days, one day each time. There is nothing to worry about. Xu Jinyu just needs to wait and see the results.

But when Xu Jinyu walked through the Imperial Examination Hall, he suddenly realized something.

[I was tricked by the emperor! The Tongsheng exam and the Huishi exam were held in the same year, so it would take three years for women to pass the Jinshi exam. That means I only need to practice my dog-crawling handwriting within three years.]

[It’s a pity that my wrist hurts every day in the past six months because I’ve been practicing calligraphy. ]

The official who was seeing off the examinee in front of the Imperial Examination Hall almost laughed out loud.

But the next moment I couldn't laugh anymore.

【Dog Emperor! 】

The officials tried hard to hold back their laughter, and their faces were distorted.

Lord Xu! Don't scold His Majesty!

Your Majesty can hear you.

Really!

Too bad they can't tell.

It was several months later when Xu Feiyu and Princess Tianhua obtained the status of scholars.

To become a scholar, you need to take three exams: the county exam, the prefectural exam, and the academy exam. The exams are held in different places. It takes half a year to complete the exams.

After the test results came out, Xu Jinyu let out a long sigh of relief.

[Over 3,000 female scholars passed the examination in Daqian, and nearly 100 of the girls I brought from the brothel passed the examination.]

[As long as they pass the exams, there will be a place for women in officialdom from now on.]

Xu Jinyu's house arrest was lifted, and the next day Xu Jinyu went to court in a huff.

As soon as the court meeting began, Xu Jinyu glared at Emperor Xuan with great resentment.

Emperor Xuan also let Xu Jinyu glare at him. Even if the little girl was angry, she would only curse herself in her heart.

Emperor Xuan said that he was used to being scolded and Lord Xu could scold him as he pleased.

Sure enough, the next step was Xu Jinyu's mumbling time.

[Why did the emperor trick me? It's just practicing calligraphy. I can take my time. Why force me to practice it in half a year? My wrist is broken.]

[Curse the emperor to choke when drinking water, choke when eating, fall down when walking, and nothing he does goes well...]

Xu Jinyu kept mumbling and cursing, but Emperor Xuan didn't care at all. Instead, he was a little uneasy and looked outside the palace every once in a while, as if he was expecting something.

When the left prime minister saw His Majesty's actions and thought about the court's private actions over the past year, he wondered if it was...

Before the Left Prime Minister could finish his thoughts, a high-pitched voice came little by little from outside the imperial city.

"Report~~~"

"Eight hundred miles urgent!"

"Our army has won a great victory. Xie's army has captured the capital of Dai Viet!"

"Report~~~"

"Eight hundred miles urgent!"

"Our army has won a great victory, and the Xie family army has captured the capital of Dai Viet!

········

Emperor Xuan stood up suddenly and looked outside the hall.

He said excitedly: "Xuan!"

After a while, a figure with a flag on his back walked quickly into the court room.

"Your Majesty! Our Daqian army has conquered the capital of Dai Viet, and all the members of the Dai Viet royal family have been captured. General Xie asked your Majesty what he thought."

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Xuan said "good" three times in a row and stood up with excitement on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, General."

Xu Jinyu stared in amazement as he watched Emperor Xuan talking to the messenger, fireworks almost exploding in his head.

[Where am I? Who am I? It only took a short time for the emperor to conquer the imperial city of Dai Viet. Even with Xie Jiajun as a guide, the speed was too fast! ]

Emperor Xuan raised the corner of his mouth. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to move so fast with the Xie family army as a guide. However, the emperor of Dai Viet was young and did not know how to lead the troops. He had to give orders blindly. Such a good battle to defend the country was defeated by the emperor of Dai Viet and was no different from giving it away for free.

Moreover, during this period, Dai Viet suffered constant natural disasters.

With the help of Xu Jinyu, it was really easy for Daqian to fight this war.

The officials in the court room were all looking at Emperor Xuan and the messenger with a smile.

I'm sorry that Lord Xu has been wronged during this year.

Not all officials in the court are loyal to the imperial court. In order to attack Dai Viet without leaking any information, His Majesty placed Lord Xu under house arrest.

Xu Jinyu had now long forgotten what house arrest was and was frantically flipping through the system with his head down.

Then there was laughter.

[Hahaha... Which genius came up with this idea? Every time before a battle, everyone eats and drinks as much as they want, except that they are not allowed to drink.]

[Daqian has sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, and also adds marinated duck, marinated pork elbow, instant noodles... whatever smells good, they eat it, and the people on the other side are almost dying of greed. ]

[Looking at the porridge in their bowls and the musty steamed bread, the soldiers were so angry that they stopped fighting and opened the city gates.]

[There are dozens of cities that have opened their gates along the way. Moreover, the emperor has promised that as long as the land conquered by Daqian is used, high-yield crops can be planted in the coming year, and the secret recipes sold by Tianji Pavilion can also be used.]

[In this way, even if the officials were unwilling, the people were willing. Some government offices were directly attacked by the people, and the officials were arrested. Then the city gates were opened directly, and the Xie family army did not encounter any decent resistance all the way to the imperial city. ]

【Who came up with this idea? 】

The left prime minister puffed out his chest proudly, he thought.

But I also have to thank Lord Xu. Lord Xu speaks his mind all day long and lets everyone know that the people's ideas are also very important. Look, the results are coming now.

What Lord Xu saw from the system was just the tip of the iceberg. The news he, the Left Prime Minister, received also included that many common people secretly came to Daqian’s barracks late at night to inform Daqian’s people.

They only hope that Daqian can quickly conquer Daiyue so that these hungry people can one day fill their stomachs.

[The resistance that Xie's army encountered in the Imperial City was not small. That was the concentration of power in Dai Viet. If they really wanted to resist, they would have no problem resisting for half a year. But how did Dai Viet's Imperial City get breached in just half a month?]

Emperor Xuan had no time to care about the messenger at this time, and looked at Xu Jinyu with drooping eyes.

This messenger only brought the latest news, and the specific situation still depends on General Xie's memorial.

[Hahaha... This Dai Viet emperor is also a fool. When the Xie family army attacked, he didn't even think about how to resist. His first reaction was to run!]

[Why not learn from anyone else, but Emperor Xuanzong of Tang! Hahahaha...]
