Troubled Times Survival Raiders

How much is enough to do in seven days?

Wu Junyi fiddled with the stove with his hands, but his eyes were staring out of the window, absent-minded.The snowstorm outside was already heavy, Li Qi approached cautiously, and put a cloak on him as silently as possible.

"The peach blossoms in the palace haven't bloomed yet?" Wu Junyi asked.

Li Qi is about to smile wryly, it is still snowing outside, whether it is open or not, do I need to say more?However, no matter what the emperor's question was, he had to answer honestly: "Your Majesty, the ordinary peach blossoms will bloom at least until the end of February. Now that the weather is cold, it will be even later. The plum blossoms in the West Palace are blooming just right. You Want to go see it?"

Plum blossoms, in such a weather with goose feathers and heavy snow, sitting in the courtyard drinking and admiring the plum blossoms is indeed elegant.If he remembered correctly, there was a pavilion at the West Palace, and he could go to see the Empress Dowager on the way... Wu Junyi was fascinated for a moment, then stopped his thoughts.It's a pity that Shen Yu is not by her side, no matter how elegant she is, she loses her taste when she is alone.

"Forget it, you can ask someone to pick one for fun." Wu Junyi said lazily, he really didn't want to move.Hearing this, Li Qi immediately got up and went out to ask someone to pick the flowers.

The earth dragon was burning in the Qianqing Palace, and it was warm. Wu Junyi shook off his cloak, stood up, and walked slowly to the window.Although it was warm, he always felt that something was missing. From this point of view, it was only one person missing.

Even during festivals, Shen Yu actually kept silent, never contacted him, and didn't even send him a letter, which is really abominable.

It has been a year since Wu Junyi expressed his feelings.Wu Junyi only felt that it was like a blink of an eye, the days passed quickly, they really connected with each other, and they got along day and night, didn't they just spend so much time?

I saw the Lantern Festival last year. This year, Wu Junyi wanted to take Shen Yu to see the flowers. It just so happened that they had never seen the flower festival in Nandu.It doesn't really matter what you look at, what matters is the meaning.However, seeing that the flowers in the garden were not blooming for a long time, Wu Junyi was still a little anxious. Why is this? The emperor did not have the right to order all the flowers to bloom.

After a while, Li Qi came back, and there was a pruned plum blossom in the jade vase in his hand.

Wu Junyi wanted to look at the flowers, so the maid naturally picked the best blooming flowers and cut them off. The maid had specially learned how to arrange flowers.Wu Junyi sat down and admired it for a while, and he really felt arrogant.He propped his chin, thought for a while, and said, "I remember that there is still a bottle? Cut another one and send it to Mr. Shen."

Li Qi had expected this a long time ago, and immediately bowed his head in agreement.

The sixth day of the first lunar month was Ma Day, and Shen Yu was at home cleaning the house with his parents and sending off the god of poverty. Mrs. Song personally cooked pancakes, and then Shen Yu was called out.

There are many things bestowed by the palace, whether it is Shen Yu or the Shen family, they have become accustomed to it, and they are no longer so sincere and fearful.But most of these are in accordance with the seasons, and everyone has a share.It's rare to come here to send a plum blossom like this.

Shen Yu was also surprised.Wu Junyi only said that he would take him to see the flower show, but he didn't mention that the flower appreciation will start now.

At this time, Li Qi had no choice but to explain: "The plum blossoms in the West Palace are blooming well. His Majesty liked it, so he asked the servant to give you one as well."

Really enjoying the flowers.Shen Yu looked at the lustrous jade bottle, thought silently in her heart, and asked, "Is this bottle also a pair?"

"How do you know?" Li Qi asked in surprise. "This bottle was originally given by the late emperor when His Majesty was in the East Palace, but it is a pair carved out of a piece of mutton fat jade." Now they have been dismantled, one of them was left in Qianqing Palace, and the other was sent to Shen's house.

Shen Yu smiled without saying a word, and Li Qi also realized that he had asked a stupid question.He saluted respectfully and prepared to leave. "Does Master Shen have anything else to say to His Majesty?"

Your Majesty misses him so much.

In fact, we will meet again soon, so there is no need to say more.But Shen Yu thought for a while, and then blurted out: "Plant a hundred clumps, and they will bloom in September."

Li Qi was at a loss when he heard it, the one sent by His Majesty was obviously plum blossom, how did this one mention chrysanthemum?Besides, after planting so many flowers, only a few bloomed, so... that's not a good sign, is it?

Li Qi was full of worries. After returning to the palace, when he mentioned that poem to Wu Junyi, his tone was also cautious. "Master Shen said, 'Plant a hundred clumps, and the branches will bloom in September.'"

Unexpectedly, Wu Junyi smiled all of a sudden, that smile was bright and vivid, Li Qi hadn't seen such a sincere smile on their Majesty's face for a long time.As if realizing something, Wu Junyi restrained his smile, turned his head to look at the plum blossom on the table, his eyes were very gentle.

Mo Yan has no good flowers, good flowers bloom slowly.

When the ministers have had enough rest, and relatives and friends have finished their walks, the government affairs that should be busy will start to be busy, and the third year of Mingxuan officially kicks off.

After Wu Junyi, Zhou Kuang, Shen Yu, and many other people worked hard for so long, polo became more and more popular among the people, and the people became more and more interested in horseback riding and archery, and they did not look down on soldiers so much.People arranged by the prefects and counties at the border have begun to teach martial arts and riding skills in order to prepare for the defense of the city.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Kuang even wrote a playbook praising the champion Hou Fenglangjuxu, and called a familiar theatrical troupe. The youngest and handsome martial arts student sang Huo Qubing, and went around the noble family in Beijing.

The higher the status of the person, the more sensitive they are to the movements of the court. Wu Junyi played polo several times and set up a martial arts school. Those who are interested will naturally figure out a thing or two.What's more, the libretto of this opera is exquisite and quite impressive, so it is naturally very popular.

There are naturally similarities between Huo Qubing's fight against the Huns and his resistance against Xianbei today.Naturally, Da Qi today is no better than the big man at his peak, but no one will say anything about this.What's more, now Wu Junyi has the aura of a young Emperor Wu.

This play not only praised the Wusheng who sang Huo Qubing as a role, but also made more Nandu people who had not been affected by the war intuitively feel the impassionedness of the war: "The moon hangs in the middle of the sky, making Yan Ye lonely. The number of sorrows The sound is moving, and the strong man is miserable." These are the heavy prices behind the glory and loyalty.

With this tragic background, coupled with the now-new Jingwei, most people have begun to change their views on generals.

Based on all the above, Wu Junyi felt that it was time to start martial arts.When it comes to martial arts, he has laid the groundwork before, or even brought it to Wenyuan Pavilion for discussion, and the rules have been formed.

What Wu Junyi wanted to choose was naturally a general who was Yun Wen Yun Wu.If the ones selected are all a bunch of trash, then it's better not to perform any martial arts.Therefore, his requirements are extremely strict. In addition to traditional skills and bravery, including horse archery, infantry shooting, weight-bearing, wrestling, etc., the subjects of the assessment also include Cheng Wen.Not to mention any military strategy, but at least you must be familiar with Sun Wu's Art of War.

Although this requirement is high, Wu Junyi does not expect everyone to meet the standard.If someone has superior military strength but is not good at strategy, he can be a captain or a vanguard. Those who cannot read and write should go to school to learn to read and stay in the rear to train soldiers.But someone who is only good at strategy and not good at martial arts...why would this kind of person come to take the martial arts exam?

The imperial examination is held by the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Junyi intends to hand over the military examination to the Ministry of War.With the efforts of Deng Xian and Feng Yuandao, the Ministry of War has completely become his territory, and a few nails were pulled out during the thorough investigation of corruption last year.Over the years, Wu Junyi and Deng Xianzao have a tacit understanding, and there is no need to deliberately state these matters.

Therefore, after confirming the charter, Wu Junyi directly ordered the Ministry of Education to draft an edict announcing that the martial arts will be held in March, and all good citizens, military households, business households, and happy households from all over the country can participate in the election as long as there is no precedent for committing crimes.And once you pass the exam, you will be granted an official position immediately.

Unexpectedly, before the memorial was sent out, the two provinces under Zhongshu's school, and other adults who heard the news came to the door first.

Hearing Li Qi's biography, Wu Junyi cursed in his heart: Prime Minister Jia didn't come to the door in person, it seems that he can sit still.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Wu Junyi couldn't pretend to be stupid, the person who spoke with a questioning tone was Li Xun.Li Xun was the prince's teacher in the past, and Wu Junyi will also be suppressed by the hat of respecting teachers and valuing education.He immediately got up and said, "Mr. Li is here, sit down quickly."

"Your Majesty is trying to elevate the status of a reckless man! If things go on like this, the reputation of the imperial examination will be tarnished! How will the world's examiners treat you!" Li Xun was very emotional, and he came up and questioned repeatedly.

Looking at Li Xun who was so excited that his face was flushed and his neck was thick, and he hardly cared about etiquette and decency, Wu Junyi sighed secretly in his heart.Sure enough, Jia Shengde didn't come, he knew that he was definitely not the only one who opposed the court, so why should he stand out?

No matter how much foreshadowing there is, there will always be literati like Li Xun in the court, who firmly believe in the inadequacy of military officers and conspiracy, and firmly believe that the teachings of sages are above all else.

Wu Junyi's expression was much colder.For this kind of hard-to-change person, Wu Junyi didn't want to reason at all.But some things must be done.

"Mr. Li, what you said is strange. Those guards who defended their homes and the country and guarded the frontier, how come you say they are reckless?" Wu Junyi frowned tightly, interrupting the chatter of the other party.

Li Xun blushed, but quickly said with a firm expression: "If your majesty rewards them, rewards them with gold and silver, and settles down their families, I will not hesitate to say anything, but once the mouth of the martial arts is opened, most of them are seeking officials. How should the Imperial College and the Imperial Examinations gain a foothold?"

No matter what Li Xun said, it was hard for Wu Junyi to feel malicious towards him.

That day when Xianbei invaded, most of the imperial court wanted to move the capital to the south. It was Li Xun who stood up and argued hard and denounced those who proposed to move the capital, so he was left out in the cold.When Zhou Kuang commented on him, there was a sense of openness in his chest.

Because of this, no matter how many of the people who followed were from Jia Shengde, and how they fanned the flames, Wu Junyi still patiently explained to Li Xun the considerations for setting up martial arts next time.

Li Xun's expression also gradually changed from anger to worry, and finally to half-belief.

After Wu Junyi explained, he asked someone to send Li Xun back.When the imperial edict was issued, Wu Junyi stopped paying attention to the hot discussion in the court, and took Shen Yu to the flower fair.
