Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

The Minister of War's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of the civil officials, and like a pebble falling into the hearts of the military generals, creating ripples.

As the emperor, Yun Suisi felt a pang of sorrow as he looked at his loyal ministers, some of whom were already in their sixties but still devoted themselves to the country.

But as someone from a modern society, Yun Suisi, observing this feudal yet open, ignorant yet intelligent era, marvels at the wisdom of the ancients and is filled with wonder.

As a military officer, Jun Sui was deeply moved by the Minister of War's words and was very interested in the suggestion: "You said that we should use military examinations to select military personnel. What exactly should be tested?"

Minister of War: "Your Highness, the martial arts examination includes various martial arts events such as long-range archery, mounted archery, foot archery, flat archery, and tube archery, as well as physical fitness tests such as horse spear, slingshot, and weightlifting."

The exam may also assess knowledge of military strategy and tactics, which are more literary in nature.

The assessment time, location, and other related details will be discussed and finalized later.

Yun Suisi: "What does the Regent think?"

After a moment's thought, Jun Sui considered the feasibility and immediately looked at his Ah Si: "Your Majesty, this is feasible!"

Yun Suisi made the final decision: "Okay."

Effective immediately, a military examination system will be established, with the Regent and the Minister of War taking full responsibility for all related matters.

Thus, the military examination system, which broadened the channels for talent promotion, promoted the training of military personnel, improved the overall quality of the army, strengthened national defense, stabilized the political situation, and strengthened central authority, began to emerge, having a profound impact on later generations.

????????????

Zichen Palace.

Yun Suisi watched as the Regent casually pushed open the bedroom door and pulled her inside, his tone teasing:

"Does Your Highness intend to 'insubordination' by coming to the Zichen Palace so casually?"

Jun Sui put down what looked like an invitation, picked up Yun Suisi by the waist, placed him on the bed, knelt on one knee, and spoke with a teasing tone:

"Yes, Your Majesty, I do indeed wish to 'rebel against your superiors.' I wonder if Your Majesty would permit it?"

Yun Suisi wrapped his arms around Jun Sui's neck, pulled him close, and gave him a lingering, tender kiss: "Granted."

In the days following the Qionglin Banquet, both of them were busy with court affairs, and were exhausted every day. Even when they lay in the same bed at night, they did not show any intimacy.

The matter has come to an end, and they can finally get some 'rest'.

Holding his beloved's cheeks, he kissed her forehead, eyes, nose, and mouth, then massaged the acupoints he had learned from the imperial physician:

"How is it going? The allocation of official positions should be almost finished, right?"

Yun Suisi: "Hmm~, almost there."

And you? The establishment of the military examination system, from its inception to its current state, is entirely thanks to you and the Minister of War. There should still be half the work done, right?

Jun Sui smiled nonchalantly: "Well, the martial arts examination is just a replica of the imperial examination. Some aspects can be learned from, but others still need careful consideration."

"What did you bring in just now? It looks like a postcard," Yun Suisi asked suspiciously.

"Oh, that's your invitation to the newly appointed top scholar, Su Rancang."

I just returned from outside the palace and met someone who asked me to give you your share, saying it's a special banquet to honor our saviors, and we absolutely must attend.

Yun Suisi: "When?"

Jun Sui: "At the time of dinner the following evening."

Su family.

After receiving the prince's message, Su Rancang carefully cleaned the courtyard, arranged flowers and potted plants to add elegance, and decorated the hall to reflect solemnity. She selected ingredients and prepared a delicious meal. She meticulously prepared everything.

After getting dressed, they waited at the door to greet the two.

"Young Master Yun, Young Master Jun, welcome to my humble abode." Su Rancang bowed to the guests.

Yun Suisi: "Well, let's go inside first and talk about it."

Su Rancang nodded: "Okay. The banquet is ready, we can go now. But the courtyard I bought isn't very big, so we'll be there soon."

Upon seeing Chu Shangbai behind Yun Suisi, he took the initiative to greet her: "An San, long time no see."

Chu Shangbai looked at his old friend earnestly: "Long time no see."

Congratulations, Ranyu! You've fulfilled your long-cherished dream and become the top scholar at such a young age. I also went to see you parade through the streets that day; you were so majestic and imposing!

I also brought you a congratulatory gift, as well as gifts for Midsummer and Early Winter. Since they can't leave the palace, they asked me to bring them to you as well. I'll give them to you later.

Su Rancang punched Chu Shangbai's shoulder twice with his fist, his tone excited: "Good brother, you're a true friend. It wasn't for nothing that I sent you some hidden weapons and such."

I brought gifts for both Zhongxia and Mengdong. When you get back, please give them to them and tell them thank you for me.

Chu Shangbai rubbed his shoulders: "For a girl, she's quite strong."

However, Ranyu, I'm now following Young Master Yun and called myself Chushangbai. How does that sound?

Su Rancang: "Of course it sounds good! My benefactor named it, how could it not sound good!"

They chatted back and forth, and although they hadn't seen each other for many years, they hadn't grown distant.

Yun Suisi reached the center of the courtyard, looked at the large table of dishes, and called out to Su Rancang, "Are you sure it's just the five of us? Why are there so many dishes?"

After ending his whispered conversation with Chu Shangbai, Su Rancang came to his benefactor's side: "Yes, there are only five, mainly you, the prince, and Shangbai."

I wrote a letter specifically to Sister Mengdong and the Prince to ask about this dish, and I made it myself. I hope the taste is to their liking, and that my benefactors will enjoy it.

Yun Suisi looked at the dishes on the table, and when his gaze fell on the two identical glutinous rice balls, his eyes sparkled and gradually filled with starlight: "I like them, I like them both."

I'll take you as my younger sister and call you Ayu. You can call me brother, okay?

Su Rancang's face was full of surprise and doubt: "Huh? Ah! Ah?!"

Yun Suisi's pupils dilated, and his hands clenched into fists: "You disagree?"

Her fox-like eyes sparkled with excitement, as bright as the stars.

Her long, black hair was gently tied up with a ribbon, and a few strands swayed gently in the wind.

A sweet smile appeared on her slightly upturned lips, like a flower blooming in spring, radiant and captivating.

After a moment's hesitation: "Brother!"

"...Yes, Ayu, your brother is here."

He handed the gift box to Su Rancang. "This is a congratulatory gift that Asui and I prepared for you. Please open it and take a look."

The gift box has two layers: the top layer contains rare books, and the bottom layer contains a xiao (a type of Chinese flute).

The book cover is carefully wrapped in smooth silk, and the floral patterns embroidered on it are elegant and lively.

The pages are made of the finest Xuan paper, as thin as a cicada's wing yet tough and durable, like the texture of time.

As you turn the pages, the fragrance of ink rises gently, and the unrestrained and elegant handwriting subtly reveals Yun Suisi's refined character.

A flute, about a foot long, is meticulously crafted from warm, delicate, and flawless white jade, a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

The flute has a smooth and delicate body, with flowing and elegant lines, and a rounded and exquisite mouthpiece, carrying the fresh scent of nature.

Gently holding this jade flute, you can feel a slight coolness coming from your palm, yet it also carries a unique warmth.

Yun Suisi: "Now that you are going to Youzhou, the rare copy above will be useful to you. The journey is long and bumpy, so I have revised it for you."

Jun Sui said, "You are skilled with the xiao (a type of Chinese flute). After you go to Youzhou, I hope it will become a spiritual refuge for you. Remember, you have people in the capital."

Tears welled in her eyes, and she choked back sobs: "Thank you, brother, thank you... thank you, brother-in-law!"

I will certainly live up to your expectations.
