The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Na Yan didn't care about Tuoba Mo's entanglement.

When she killed Tuoba Shuo in front of Tuoba Mo, Tuoba Mo had only one choice.

The current Yan State Palace has actually been occupied by Li Jiren's people a long time ago.

Even Tuoba Yun's life was spared as Li Jiren had instructed in advance.

Na Yan didn't understand at first, but later when she saw Tuoba Yun persuading Tuoba Mo to surrender to the Beiji Kingdom, she understood.

A fifth prince who is disabled but still has his brains, plus a fourth prince who is indecisive but cares about the people, are enough to ensure the stability of the Yan State for decades.

Decades later, the people of Yan State had long been assimilated into the Northern Ji State. As long as they lived a good life, did it matter who was on the throne?

On the eighth day of the eighth month, General Fei Yongyan of the Northern Ji State, Zhenyuan, led 200,000 Jiyang troops to challenge the Yan State at the border, fought a casual battle, and then entered the city.

On August 15th, the fourth prince of Yan State pushed the fifth prince in a wheelchair and submitted a letter of surrender, expressing his willingness to be a vassal forever and only asking the Emperor of Beiji to treat the people of Yan State well.

Fei Yongyan, Zhou Xuehai, Zhao Hufeng and others entered the State of Yan to help Prince Ming Tuoba Mo and Prince Fu Tuoba Yun govern the Yan area.

Tuoba Yu, the daughter of Prince Fu, was named Princess Changle and taken into the Princess Jiyang's Mansion.

Na Yan was named Queen Xuan, becoming the first woman in history to be named queen, and her fiefdom was Youzhou.

Youzhou is adjacent to the Bahai tribe, a place she chose herself.

Everyone thought that Tuoba Yu was taken to Jiyang as a hostage, but only her father, Prince Fu, knew that she wanted to go there on her own.

Tuoba Yu is the only remaining bloodline of the Tuoba family in this generation. Neither Tuoba Mo nor Tuoba Yun will let her take risks.

During the years when Prince Fu was imprisoned, Tuoba Yu, a famous beauty of the State of Yan, was not given to the cruel and lustful King of Beirong in marriage by the Emperor and the Crown Prince of Yan, but was protected by the Palace of Prince Lin of Jiyang.

Even though the biggest reason for this blessing was because he didn't want Yan State to be too closely tied to Beirong, Tuoba Yu was still grateful.

She has longed for Dayu's culture since she was a child. Whether out of gratitude for the protection she once received, for the sake of her father and the people of Yan State, or for her own dream, she asked to live alone in Jiyang.

Emperor Ji Lin and Han Qingyun read Tuoba Yu's petition and couldn't help but complain.

His Beiji State was not so weak as to need to take a woman as a hostage. Since he had accepted the surrender letter from Yan State, he naturally had enough confidence to manage Yan State well.

Han Qingyun lowered his eyes and smiled. It was good for the young girls to be together and have fun. It would be best if she would be happy and find a suitable husband in Beiji State.

The news that Yan State was annexed by Beiji State reached the court of Dayu. Everyone thought that if 200,000 soldiers went to the border of Yan State and made a small fuss, Yan State would surrender. Could this collusion be made more obvious?

But no matter what, the fact that the Emperor of Beiji and the royal family of Yan were willing to put on such a show was enough for the people of Yan.

After fighting for more than two hundred years, they are tired of it.

As long as there is no war, they won't have to lose their lives on the battlefield.

After being incorporated into the Northern Ji State, their taxes were lower than before.

It is said that the people in Rong and Qiang areas have already started eating rice and flour, which they exchanged for their local specialties which are of little value.

Rice, that is the food that only the nobles can eat.

Even in Yan, which was richer than Rong and Qiang, most people could not eat rice in their entire lives.

It is said that vegetable oil costs less than ten cents per pound, and the dishes cooked with it are delicious.

It is said that ground beans and sweet potatoes are particularly productive. If you grow more than you can eat, some people will even recycle them to make vermicelli...

Tuoba Yu is sixteen years old this year. Because her father was imprisoned, she has been protected at home by her mother since she was a child. She has hardly ever left the house and can only learn about the outside world through books.

Now that she has come to Ji Yang, she is extremely curious.

Hearing that women from Beiji State could take part in the imperial examinations, Tuoba Yu was eager to try. Unfortunately, she had no chance this year, but fortunately, there was still a literary gathering where she could join in the fun.

The literary examination event in Jiyang was so lively that it completely overshadowed the first academy and provincial examinations in the Northern Ji State.

In mid-August, when Li Jiren and Li Jixin successfully took over Lujiang Prefecture, the college entrance examination began.

Han Huaijin, Han Xigu, Lu Changan, Yan Xuewen, as well as Han Huaiyu, Hua Qingran and Qian Yunhao who had just passed the prefectural examination, all took part in the academy examination.

On August 20th, the academy examination ended. Han Huaiyu and Hua Qingran had to prepare for the imperial examination and the upcoming literary competition.

The results of the college examination will not be available until early September, so Han Huaijin is not eligible to participate in this year's provincial examination.

He originally wanted to join in the fun of the literary gathering, but Han Huaixi ordered him not to attend!

However, Han Xigu, Lu Changan, Yan Xuewen and others were waved by Han Huaixi's hand and said, "You can join as you please. Anyway, you can't beat my sister."

Han Xigu, Lu Changan, Yan Xuewen: What are you telling the truth about? Are you polite?

Starting from August, all the major restaurants and inns in Jiyang were packed.

Emperor Ji Lin's personal guards captured many assassins and sent them all to Lao Gu.

Lao Gu's new torture chamber has been built. He's been itching to try it out lately...

September 1st, the autumn weather is clear and crisp.

Mingxianglou was packed with people, and even the food court next door was packed.

Today's security is much stricter. Not only are the entire street, Mingxiang Tower, and the food court filled with guards, but all people entering Mingxiang Tower need to have household registration documents, and no one is allowed to enter with weapons or unknown objects.

Han Huaixi, Ye Jianan, Ye Xinglin, and Kang Shengtang were placed in Mingxiang Tower just in case. There were even many doctors waiting outside Mingxiang Tower.

Because this competition originated from the challenge of talented men such as Lu Tianming to two women who participated in the imperial examination this year, even though it has evolved into an examination in which everyone competes, the participating men and women still sit on both sides clearly separated.

The first floor was full of people, so the third floor of Mingxianglou was full of people.

There are no less than five hundred talented men and women who have flocked to Ji Yang in recent days, but most of them know that they will not get any ranking in this competition, and they just don’t want to miss this literary event.

There were 263 people participating in the competition, including 61 women.

Liu Minghe, Song Mingzhi, Xie Shan, Qi Jingyu and Chen Yousheng on the jury are all the most famous talents among the five major families.

Guan Xueqian, Wang Yifan, Lao Yongyi and Feng Xuanzhi were the top ten Jinshi scholars of Dayu last year.

Gu Tianyu, Mao Yuanlan, Sui Junbo and Tang Shengyang are recognized as talented commoners in the world.

Emperor Jilin Li Zhaoying, Empress Dowager Tian Xiuxiu, Queen Xie Ning, Prime Minister Han Qingyun, Princess Changle Tuoba Yu, and Lady Jiguo Lü Yanyan, the only woman in the world who earned the title through her own ability, walked in.

As soon as Li Zhaoying appeared, the originally noisy scene immediately became silent.

Li Zhaoying waved his hand: "Why are you all looking at me? There's no exam question written on my face."

The crowd burst into laughter and resumed the noise.

Lu Yanyan looked at the eager expressions on Lu Tianming and others' faces and felt very amused.

Han Qingyun was right. Men's desire for power was far greater than their disdain for women.

As long as they are given room for advancement, let alone serving as officials in the same court with women, he can even let women dance over his head.

Looking down on women is a stereotype formed over thousands of years. Although Lu Tianming and others are a bit arrogant, they are said to be not bad people at heart.

They learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the imperial family. If they really have great abilities, it would be no harm to use these people.

However, if the women were to take the lead today, Lu Yanyan would definitely set off firecrackers to celebrate...
