As Lin Ce said, he is not a person who likes to make great achievements. At least in his philosophy of governing the country, such things as expanding the territory will never be ranked first.He intends to become a wise king, but he doesn't want to use the scope of the territory to prove his wisdom.He didn't have that much energy, neither did the Southern Wei Dynasty. He only hoped that within his limited time, he could clean up the court, so that truly talented people could enter the court as officials, make the country more prosperous, and make the lives of the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty more stable.

Before realizing these, he is willing to make appropriate concessions.Therefore, he sent an order to Guo Zhun, ordering the southwestern army to abandon Jiaozhou City, retreat to the border of Fan State, stand still, and stand ready to observe the next direction of Fan State.

On March [-]th in the fifth year of Longhe in the Southern Wei Dynasty, after students from all over the country came to Beijing, the Spring Festival was held on time.

It has been hundreds of years since the founding of the Southern Wei Dynasty, but there has never been such a large-scale selection of scholars by discipline, regardless of region, regardless of family background, and what is valued is only whether the references have real talents and learning.This is an unprecedented opportunity for many poor students, so they are willing to travel thousands of miles, and some even have to leave their homeland and rush to the capital several months in advance, just to seize this once-in-a-century opportunity .Although most of them know that it is not an easy task to stand out among thousands of students in this Spring Festival.

But compared to the previous poor family who never had a way to get ahead, this time Chun Wei has infinite vitality. At least, as long as they work hard and work hard enough, they will always have a way to get ahead.In this case, they are desperate to come and try again.

This is also the scene that Lin Ce would like to see.

In order for the spring to be held smoothly, he sent the imperial guards who were responsible for guarding the imperial city to maintain the order around the Gongyuan and ensure the safety of the students participating in the examination. The officials who participated in the examination were carefully selected by Lin Ce. The examinee's name prevents the test examiner from identifying the identity of the examinee and avoids cheating during the examination as much as possible.

The examination papers after the names are submitted to the Ministry of Rites in charge of the main examination, who will be responsible for reviewing, and select those with outstanding literary talent or knowledge, and submit them to Lin Ce, who will make the final decision.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Ce will become even busier once the Spring Festival opens. In addition to the endless government affairs, there will be many more articles from students from all over the country to read.

But You Yan could tell that Lin Ce was looking forward to it.

Chun Wei took a break early that day, but Lin Ce woke up early.When You Yan realized that the pillow was empty and woke up from sleep, he saw Lin Ce standing by the window, looking out of the window motionless, thinking about something.

You Yan lightly got off the couch, walked behind Lin Ce, put his chin on Lin Ce's shoulder with his feet, and looked out of the window in his direction. The drizzle was falling non-stop, bringing light moisture into the room along the open windows.

"It's probably the only day in a year when you don't have to go to bed early, why did you wake up so early?" You Yan yawned as he spoke.

Lin Ce held his hand and turned to look at him: "Did it wake you up?"

"Yeah," You Yan rolled his eyes, "I can't sleep peacefully without you by my side."

"I heard the sound of rain outside the window, so I woke up and took a look." Lin Ce turned his gaze to the window, "The people in the capital city have waited for this spring rain for a long time, but it just fell today. I don't know what it means."

"On a rainy spring day, the vegetation grows wildly, so it's a good omen." You Yan tilted his head and put his face close to him, turning his head to prejudice him with a solemn face, and couldn't help laughing, "It's rare to be as nervous as you are. Didn't I see your expression when I finally changed you to be the crown prince?"

"Huh?" Lin Ce raised his hand subconsciously and touched his face, "Why, is there a big difference from normal days?"

You Yan smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, it looks as good as usual."

Lin Ce raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help laughing the next moment. He turned around and held both of You Yan's hands: "It's still early, I'll go back to bed with you." After saying that, he lowered his head and found that The person in front of him was barefoot and couldn't help but sigh, "Why are you barefoot when you get up early in the morning? What if..."

You Yan put a finger against his lips, and stopped the words behind him: "I'm really curious, why did the taciturn little King Han have so much to say now?" He raised his foot deliberately towards Lin Ce shook, "If you're afraid I'll catch a cold, why don't you take me back?"

Lin Ce glanced at it, then stretched out his hand and hugged him by the waist the next moment, and came to the side of the bed in a few steps, put it down carefully, and was about to pull away, but was wrapped around his neck by You Yan, followed by an almost warm hug kiss.

Waking up early in the morning, such a passionate kiss can easily arouse people's desire. Just as Lin Ce put his arms around You Yan's waist, wanting to continue the kiss, You Yan suddenly pressed against his shoulder, and the corner of his mouth Shang Yang: "I already have other plans, but if you still want to continue, then I have no choice but to follow through to the end."

Lin Ce's hand has already touched You Yan's waistline along the hem of his clothes. Hearing this, his movements paused, and he pressed on You Yan's body weakly, buried his face in his neck and rubbed gently, slowly calming himself down. breath, and then replied: "What are your plans?"

You Yan kissed his lips, then sat up straight, and ordered outside the hall: "Director Gao, please order people to prepare carriages, horses and clothes, Your Majesty and I will leave the palace later."

Because Lin Ce closed the mansion late, he didn't live outside the palace for a long time, but he really liked the freedom outside the palace, especially after he met You Yan, the two often traveled together.But after succeeding to the throne, it is very difficult to have such an opportunity, the few times when they leave the palace in private, at most they only go to Youfu, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to just the two of them as freely as before.

Therefore, when Lin Ce put on his private clothes and got into the carriage with You Yan, he felt a little joy in his heart. You Yan sat beside him, listening to the sound of rain outside the car, and the two held hands tightly. It's like going back to a long time ago.

After the carriage drove for a while, You Yan suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Ce: "Don't you even ask me where I'm taking you today? Just leave a bunch of court affairs and follow me out, aren't you afraid of regretting it?"

Lin Ce laughed: "It was the same way back then. You brought a carriage to my house to pick me up and took me to places I hadn't heard of, but you never let me down."

You Yan turned his head to look at him, and the corners of his lips raised upwards: "I grew up in this capital city, and I don't do business every day. I only think about how to have fun. Of course, I know many good places that others don't know."

Lin Ce glanced at him: "In the past two years, you have not been as comfortable as before."

"That's because I have other pastimes. Looking back, all the past is not worth mentioning." You Yan said, opened the car curtain and looked out, "But although it hasn't been very Going out, the understanding of the capital is not as good as before, but today's place is definitely something you will like."

While talking, the carriage stopped, and the coachman's voice came: "My lord, we are here."

You Yan got up and opened the curtain, got out of the carriage first, and stretched out his hand towards the inside of the carriage: "My lord, please."

Lin Ce poked his head out of the carriage, saw You Yan's hand stretched out in front of him, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, held that hand, jumped off the carriage, and then looked around. Surprised, You Yan shook Lin Ce's hand: "How is it? Are you satisfied today?"

It's not that Lin Ce didn't guess where You Yan was going to take him out of the palace early in the morning in the carriage, but he never thought that You Yan would bring him to the Gongyuan.

It was still early in the morning, and it was not yet time for the exam to start. Students for reference came one after another from all directions in the capital. Hou was at the gate of the Gongyuan, waiting to enter.Some of them gathered in twos and threes, arguing about some topics, and some were sitting alone in a shelter from the rain, holding a book in their hands, reading very intently.

The two of Lin Ce got off the carriage and did not attract too much attention. The two of them went out today with low-key clothes, and they looked no different from these scholars who were waiting for the exam.Lin Ce glanced over those scholars, turned his head to look at You Yan beside him, and said softly, "Why do you want to bring me here?"

"Anyway, even if you are in the palace, your thoughts are all here, why don't you come and have a look, but you will feel at ease." You Yan looked at him with a smile, "All the talented people from all over the country who care about the world are here, you If I also go in for reference, what will the test look like in the end?"

Lin Ce turned to look at him, smiled and shook his head: "There is absolutely no reason for the questioner to enter the venue as a reference, right?"

The examination questions for Chunwei were originally prepared by the Ministry of Rites, but they were all about the content of some poems and classics, which were not new, and this kind of questions only tested the memory of the candidates. , Diligence and hard work may not be what Lin Ce needs.Lin Ce was troubled by this for several days, and in the end You Yan couldn't stand it anymore, so he took a pen and hurriedly wrote down a sentence, which became the question of Chunwei's exam.

Lin Ce glanced at a scholar who was still reading a book not far away. Unexpectedly, when he entered the tribute courtyard, he found that the exam question was only one sentence, which had nothing to do with the poems and books he had read before. How do you feel about the port case?

Probably only You Yan dared to write this kind of examination questions, because only he knew that what Lin Ce wanted was not a scholar who could only study hard, but what he wanted was foresight, insight, the ability to speak out, and to criticize the current situation. minister.

You Yan shook his head regretfully: "If I had known this, then I wouldn't have written those words for you, and maybe I could get in and try."

"I'm afraid it won't work," Lin Ce said helplessly, "If your handwriting is sent to me, I don't need to read the content, and this time I can only be at the top of the list. With you here, the fraud that I want to prevent may be killed by myself." Make an exception."
