After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

He Yuanyao had obediently reported to Su Yubing. She felt a little awkward on the first day, but she completely adapted to it on the second day. She even thought Su Yubing was quite interesting.

Wen Zhimiao was too busy and had no time to take care of her.

Shi Wanyue is also very busy. Although the results of the scientific examination have not come out yet, some people who are already famous still have a lot of attention.

Wen Zhimiao had some rough ideas about the candidates for forming the Eastern Palace, but the people she had in mind were all already in the court. Some of them had performed well in the imperial examinations in previous years but had not been given important positions, and some were somewhat famous in the court.

However, to select people from the existing staff to enter the Eastern Palace, firstly, the other party must be willing, and secondly, a suitable successor must be found. You can't just transfer people away.

Wen Zhimiao had been procrastinating on doing it before because it was too troublesome, but now he really has to do it.

Upon receiving the news that Beirong had dispatched troops, Wen Zhimiao called many generals and even Wen Rongxue over to discuss with them how to deal with Beirong.

Only after having a general strategy can we assign specific personnel.

Wen Zhimiao knew that she was only good at talking about war, so she did not make her own decisions and humbly listened to other people's suggestions.

It took Wen Zhimiao three days to come up with a general direction and a suitable candidate.

King Fan of Beirong would not lead the troops himself, so Wen Zhimiao naturally could not go in person. She chose to trust her soldiers of Tianqi.

In addition to the troops that originally attacked Donglan, Wen Zhimiao sent two more troops.

One of them was led by Luan Xuefeng, and the other was a part of the Red Tassel Army transferred from the northwest, led by Ji Qinghuai's daughter Ji Wutong.

Wen Zhimiao's order to the North was still to capture Donglan before the New Year.

Of course, the massacre of ordinary people was also expressly prohibited. Anyone found maliciously massacring ordinary people would be beheaded.

The people of the several cities on the border with Tianqi that were initially occupied by Donglan were not as dissatisfied as Donglan and Beirong had expected.

What? There are still people welcoming the arrival of the Apocalypse Army.

The Donglan royal family is also rotten to the core, and the entire upper class of Donglan is already corrupt. The people living on the border do not have a good life. Not only are the taxes heavy, but there is also less and less land left in the hands of the people. Before the war with Tianqi, they even recruited soldiers on a large scale, and all young men under the age of fifteen had to go to the barracks.

If women are forced to marry and unmarried at marriageable age, they may be directly arranged by the government to be married to older unmarried men.

But the upper-class nobles, even a small county magistrate, had several concubines. If they met a beautiful woman, they would rape her if they had a disagreement.

The public resentment is deep.

When the Apocalypse Army entered, the people in some cities actually welcomed them.

After all, it was close to Tianqi, and many people in Donglan also knew what kind of life the people in Tianqi lived. A long time ago, many people secretly entered Tianqi to settle down.

The local people sometimes turn a blind eye and will accept it as long as you are kind.

After Wen Zhimiao learned about this situation, he asked people from the Supervisory Council to spread the news in Donglan, and also spread the news that if Donglan became a vassal state of Beirong, the people would suffer even more.

Although Tianqi is not a perfect place, its emperor at least ensures that the people have enough food to eat.

In addition, Wen Zhimiao did give the order to distribute relief supplies to the people after the city was captured.

There wasn’t much, but at least it was enough to keep me warm and fill my stomach.

As a result, no matter how angry the Donglan literati were, few people paid any attention to them.

No matter how righteous your words are, for ordinary people, they are not as good as a hot meal in winter.

The war continued, and Luan Xuefeng successfully blocked the Beirong army.

Not everything was within Wen Zhimiao's expectations, but in the past ten days, nothing had happened that was beyond his imagination.

In the past few days, Wen Zhimiao has worked with the people from the Ministry of Personnel to select the people she wants.

The Eastern Palace's system mostly followed that of the previous dynasty, with some minor adjustments.

Now the only people left who are taking the imperial examination this year are those that Wen Zhimiao has not examined yet.

During these short ten days, Wen Zhimiao almost never went to bed until the early morning, as his daily schedule was packed with tasks.

Shi Wanyue only had meals with her three times.

The time has come to announce the results of the civil and military imperial examinations.

At the early morning court session, the ministers received two lists.

The two lists had already been shown to Su Qingluo and Shi Guanchao, and they had also discussed the lists seriously.

The new number one scholar in this year's literary examination was a person who had no reputation before. Su Qingluo and Shi Guanchao had specially read her previous essays and found that her grades were not bad, but they were not very good or eye-catching either. She was completely from a sackcloth family and her ancestors had never been from a wealthy family.

According to investigation, she did not study hard and even learned to read and write by secretly studying outside the window of the local school.

I am thirty-five years old this year. When I was twenty years old, I took part in the provincial examination and passed with the last place.

After that, I continued to do farm work at home while studying.

The money he used to participate in the imperial examinations was all saved by himself, and he did not interfere with his family work while studying.

Her articles are very different from the empty and flashy articles written by many children of wealthy families. Her words are not gorgeous, but she talks about many issues in a real and practical way and her logic is rigorous.

This is the real lower class that Su Qingluo and most people in the court have never seen.

As soon as this article appeared in front of the examiners, half of them were dazzled.

When Jiu Zhao saw it, he passed it almost without hesitation and gave it a very high evaluation.

Most of the other reviews that were not highly rated said that the writing was not good enough.

But becoming an official depends on literary talent. Every year, many people with outstanding literary talent fail the imperial examination.

It is useless to have literary talent alone.

Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou read the submitted essays together. Yun Zhou said the first time he saw it, "He should be the top scholar."

She admitted that she could not write such a policy paper.

He dares to speak out and write about current social ills, and is a role model for students all over the world.

Shi Wanyue also felt the same when she entered the palace, so this person who had no background and relied purely on farming became the first in this imperial examination.

Many people feel unfamiliar with the name because they have never heard of it.

Generally speaking, such people, even if they are not from a prominent family, will receive some attention after entering Yunjing if they have performed well in previous exams.

After all, it is impossible to get good grades all at once. Those who can get the top score must have performed well in past exams.

The top scorers in previous years all came from among these people who would attract attention.

But this year, there is really no such person.
