The Xue Mansion.
Xue Yuan lay on the bed and listened without holding back his laughter, "Is that what he told you?"
Chang Yuyan's brows furrowed slightly, "You must address His Holiness."
Xue Yuan's knee was wrapped in a medicated cloth, vaguely colored with blood, but his face was as if he had no feelings, casually pointing to his own wounds, seeming to smile and not laugh, "This wound is what the saint punished."
"That's impossible," Chang Yuyan subconsciously retorted, frowning again in thought, "Did you do something wrong?"
Xue Yuan glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "What did His Holiness recruit you to the palace for today?"
Chang Yuyan sniffed and unconsciously tensed her skin, her face heating up a bit, "His Holiness recruited me to accompany him in the palace, naturally for me to accompany him to enjoy the snow."
"Enjoying the snow?" Xue Yuan braced his hands on the surface of the couch, his arms fiercely powerful, his muscles tensed, supporting himself as he sat straight up, his fingertips tapping on his thighs as he pondered, "What can I see in you?"
In Xue Yuan's eyes, how could this emperor not look like he would do useless things, even this mad dog of his dared to mess with him, messing with him was just a matter, at least as the young emperor said, he had the style of a handsome talent. But strangely, what does Chang Yuyan have?
A reader, a smell of rotting acid, what use can Chang Yuyan be?
But it is such a useless reader, the emperor also recruited him to reward the snow. Xue Yuan, the future general, the emperor did not blink and punished him with a knee full of blood.
Chang Yuyan heard these words clearly, he smiled skinlessly, "Xue Yuan, what do you mean by this?"
Xue Yuan said slowly, "What the hell can you do?"
Chang Yuyan angry glaring at people, "I do not say is famous all over the world, at least is also a small reputation, standing crown that day came to congratulate me more people to even alarmed the government. And I have always been talented, wait for the end of the temple examination, you wait for me to take a first prize!"
When he finished speaking, he got up and angrily flung his sleeves away.
Xue Yuan stroked his chin and waited until Chang Yuyan was completely out of sight before snorting, "Scholar?"
Then what's the use of the young emperor wanting a fake scholar to be the Scholar?
Xue Yuan's legs left the bed and stood straight up, he put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the window.
The white cloth on his knee oozed stars of blood, and the taste of such pain was new to Xue Yuan.
Xue Yuan, who grew up mixing in the barracks as a child, knows that a hard fist and strong soldiers and horses represent everything. Xue House three generations of loyalty, sounds quite good, but in fact, all of them are deadly reputation, he threw a bottle, and did not want to smash the emperor, to see him go over before getting down, but also just want to see the emperor's attitude towards the Xue family.
Xue Yuan stroked his chin in thought, thinking of the little emperor's face, although his hair was not even grown, his growth was more beautiful than a woman.
It's that temper that's hidden so deep.
Is it because of the Xue family that he is favored, or is it because of three generations of loyalty that he must be favored?

Lord Chu Xun has set off with people to the Yellow River, the Office of Supervision will provide Chu Xun with news from the forefront, in order to cultivate the Office of Supervision, Gu Yuanbai spent a lot of money, the Office of Supervision should not only be literate and practicing martial arts mounted archery, but also to learn geography and military books and tracking and ambushing people and other aspects of the skills.
In addition to education, their food Gu Yuanbai also extremely pay attention to, more than raising soldiers. Meals meat and vegetables, rice with good rice, meat is essential, the entire monitoring office of the people are raised a strong and powerful body, they are healthy, it represents the health of Gu Yuanbai. Half a month of rain can be in such a fast time across thousands of miles to the capital, the role of this good body is essential.
Preventing flooding Gu Yuanbai temporarily put down, and will focus on the upcoming examination.
These days in the morning court, the ministers are also worried, because the capital returned to the cold wave. This time the cold wave came with great force, a lot of people wrote a letter hoping to let the examination candidates add more clothing, but also more heating coal, and then the Tribute Academy of the number of houses to repair a good deal.
In particular, parents who have offspring in their families participating in this examination argued their case and refused to back down even for half a minute in the courtroom.
His Majesty's good heart, the number of houses would have been in the repair, increase the amount of warm charcoal folders also approved consent. However, in allowing the examination to add more clothing, but was blocked by a number of ministers.
It's not like this hasn't happened before, the winter in the capital is always longer and colder, sometimes the spring can be compared to the winter, and many benevolent emperors have licensed lifters to carry an extra layer of leather clothing.
But that session found many will be cheating notes sewn in clothing in the lift, the more clothes check up the more trouble, the emperor's goodwill was also these poor character of the readers as a means to use the spoils.
"Your Holiness," counseled the courtier, "it is not as if there had not been a return to the cold wave in the past; the coal was aggravated, the numbered houses were repaired, and these were sufficient."
But this year's cold wave came to powerful, Daheng dynasty's examination for three days in a row, the candidates between food and lodging house, if those days and then cooling or falling rain and snow, afraid of a lot of people will be suffering from wind chill, or worse, may be killed in these three days.
Gu Yuanbai's heart ached for these talents in the end, and he finally ordered and still allowed the decision to add more clothing to the lift.
As soon as this imperial decree was issued, the entire capital of the students who were rushing to take the exams cheered, and their eyes were filled with tears in gratitude for the benevolence of the Holy Spirit.
Those who were not well enough to adapt to the weather in the capital were even more agitated, kowtowing to the ground to thank them, and kept saying, "Your Majesty's mercy, Your Majesty's grace!"
A single piece of thin clothing represents a hope of warmth between the cold and narrow numbered houses. The fact that His Majesty decided to relax the limits despite the discouragement of the ministers was a clear sign of love and care for them.
From the thought and love of the Holy Spirit, so that the readers familiar with heaven and earth and the gentleman teacher is even more hot in the heart of the fire.
Of course, just because Gu Yuanbai was merciful to these lifters didn't mean that he would let them take this opportunity to cheat.
If someone dared to be so bold as to take this opportunity to wrap up the note, then a more severe punishment than the annulment of merit would await him.
Gu Yuanbai didn't want his good deed to become a joke later.

Time in waiting finally came to the day of the session test.
Chu Wei woke up early in the morning, blandly practiced a set of martial arts in the courtyard, and only stopped when his body was covered in a thin sweat. After washing out, his mother was re-counting the things to be brought into the tribute courtyard, this was already her fifth count, Chu Wei was also a bit helpless, "Mother, there is no need to be so nervous."
"How can Mother not be nervous!" Mrs. Chu raised her voice to retort, and nervously looked down to continue counting, "Fragrant handkerchiefs, paper, dry food ......"
Chu Wei let her go and finished his meal in silence, the boy carried his things and accompanied the young master towards the Tribute Academy.
Mrs. Chu sent him to the door, hands together with the same roaming God Buddha blessing, the heart apprehensive, "May my son successfully passed the examination."
Into the capital to catch up with the examination of a lot of students, so was divided into different batches to enter the examination room, Chu Wei's luck is very bad, he had to enter the Tribute House early in the morning, to be in the Tribute House to wait for a whole day.
When he arrived at the door and lined up, Chu Wei let the boy go back first, and he himself carried the examination box and stood in the middle of the crowd with his spine straight.
His own appearance is particularly striking, temperament and as bright as the moon gracefully, so many people have noticed him, between whispers, it is understood that this person is the reputation of the capital of the first beautiful man Chu Wei.
Li Yan, the Prince of Pingchang Marquis, who was lined up not far away and was seeing off his friend Tang Mian, noticed the commotion here for the first time, he glanced back and gloatingly patted Tang Mian's shoulder, "Tang Mian, Chu Wei even took part in this meeting test, can you still get a good ranking?"
Tang Mian also saw Chu Wei, he frowned and relaxed again, "He has not continued the imperial examination for seven years, seven years I don't believe that his learning is still that good. Chu Wei test just test, he can't threaten me."
The ears of Chu Wei, who was diagonally behind him, twitched, and he suddenly glanced sideways at Tang Mian.
Tang Mian and Li Yan hadn't noticed, Li Yan asked, "Your ranking among the academies is one of the best every time, is there any certainty that you'll take a scholar down this time?"
Tang Mian cautiously said, "Hang. I heard that Chang Yuyan, the son of the Young Secretary of the Da Lisi, is also participating in this examination, and I've read his articles and poems, so he's a formidable opponent for me."
Li Yan couldn't help but say jealously, "Anyway, as long as you're among the First A, you'll be personally summoned by His Holiness."
Tang Mian couldn't help but have some feelings of both excitement and nervousness as well, he smiled and pretended to be calm as he said, "I'll definitely make His Holiness be impressed."
Ever since that day of the Cuju tournament, one could only revisit the face of His Holiness in a painting. But how can the look of a person in a painting compare to a tenth of a real person?
The true saint is the light of the sun and the moon, and if you want the sun and the moon to remember him, the top scorer is not enough, and the scout is not enough either.
With the name of his unestablished crown, if he had won the first prize ......
Tang Mian couldn't help but be on fire in his heart.
Chu Wei calmly and unperturbedly averted his gaze, dropping his eyes to hide the disdain and snicker in his eyes.
How dare the jumper think that.

When the examination in the Tribute Academy began, Gu Yuanbai in the middle of the inner sanctum also received the news.
He listened carefully to the report, and after a long time, his light-colored lips gently hooked, revealing a satisfied smile, "Not bad."
Tian Fusheng for him to serve a cup of tonic soup, look at the saint is happy, also can not help but happy to say: "not in vain the saint's a piece of love and care of love, this session of the students honestly, the next session of the readers can also enjoy some shade."
Gu Yuanbai nodded and set aside the political affairs he had dealt with, "I should also ponder over the topic of their temple examination."
Tian Fusheng brought the scrolls, which contained thousands of curatorial questions, and Gu Yuanbai casually flipped through a few pages, shaking his head, "No matter how many times I've read it, it still looks inconvenient without punctuation."
Tian Fusheng looked at His Holiness quizzically, "Punctuation?"
Gu Yuanbai: "Nothing."
Punctuation, that is, sentence breaks, what the ancients called "sentence reading". But this punctuation is not something that can be easily taken out, nor can it be easily passed.
Since ancient times, some isolated doctrines have been monopolized by academic schools, and they monopolize academics by reading sentences. For example, the famous "the people can make by the not make know" two broken sentences, one is "the people can make, by the; not make, know", and the second is "the people can, make by the; not, make know". The first is "The people may be made to know; they may not be made to know.
Different schools of thought have different ways of breaking sentences, and naturally understand different meanings. If the law of punctuation is practiced, it will certainly shake these schools of thought, which one is right and why others are wrong? Why should they let the whole world know about their methods of sentence breaking?
The reason why academic sects are called sects is that they are monopolized by their unique culture. Because of their uniqueness, students who want to learn knowledge need to commit themselves to their name, and when more people learn, such sects will be transformed into academic valves.
Even with government schools, the growth and development of academic factions could not be stopped.
People who have learned this school of knowledge, they will be unified break, unified understanding of the words of the sages, at this time, the emperor suddenly took out a punctuation mark, said that this article should be broken this way, that the article should be read this way, with the official breaks are not the same as the faction and faction in the readers will be dissatisfied with, why we are wrong? We have spent time, energy and money to learn something, if this is wrong, will not get no reward, will not learn in vain?
The factions that share the same official assertion will also be equally dissatisfied, so why should our private knowledge be publicized in this way? How is it that what has been accumulated by our forefathers and foremothers has become common to all the people of the world?
Once the punctuation is out, it's moving their cake, and these academic factions will never agree.
Punctuation was a good thing, but right now Gu Yuanbai couldn't take it out.
When there is internal security and no strong enemies outside, and when the emperor has the ability to lift the table, it is the time to shake up the school and make academic changes.
Gu Yuanbai flipped through the two pages of the dossier, took a sip of the warm tea, and couldn't help but lose his smile when he noticed what he was thinking.
He said he wanted Buddha, but this is like a sugar addict saying he wants to quit sugar, or a smoker saying he wants to cut off cigarettes. The mouth is full of big words, but the body is honest to a fault, completely showing what it means to have a heart that is not true and words that are not true.
Author's Note: Gu Yuanbai: I only have a cause in mind.
Later Xue Yuan: ...... Laozi begged you to take a look at Laozi.
Demining: the attack is really very dog, born anti-bone, after the article also have said why so crazy reason. The author of the article is not logical, there is no need to be angry with their own influence on others.
