Han Dao world

Chapter 1041
Mrs. Tang was a little uneasy.When entering the city, he almost knocked over a boy.Fortunately, the female rider on the side had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed the reins.

Madam Tang felt uneasy, and asked the boy if he was injured.

The boy got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, cupped his hands, smiled a little embarrassedly, said it was all right, and turned to go into the city.

Xun Wenqian looked around, feeling curious.

She saw several young people, dressed in exquisite or simple clothes, but with excited expressions, walking in a hurry.At the gate of the city, take out a similar pass.The soldiers guarding the city looked at it, and then pointed in the same direction to let them go.

"This is……"

Zhang Qian immediately took up the topic. "The nobleman doesn't know, this is to join the army."

"Join the army?"

"Yes. The emperor intends to recruit a group of teenagers in Jingzhou, either to join the imperial army, or to enter the martial arts hall. The edict was issued a few days ago, and the ones from far away have not arrived yet. These should be from nearby counties."

Xun Wenqian was stunned.

The emperor has this habit, one is for people's hearts, and the other is for talents.

Recruiting talents from ordinary people and cultivating them is also one of the means to contend with the aristocratic family.However, this has little impact on Confucianism, and it is the warriors who are most affected.

With the lecture hall, the imperial court will have enough generals to use and no longer need to rely on generals.

Lu Xiaohuan, who was talking to Ma Yunlu, heard this and looked at Ma Yunlu. "Are there female riders applying?"

Ma Yunlu looked bewildered and shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.

Zhang Qian took up the topic again. "Although Nanyang is rich and prosperous, the folk customs are weak. If Cai Lingshi came, it would be no problem to recruit some female historians, but it would be difficult to recruit female knights."

Lu Xiaohuan was a little unhappy, and gave Zhang Qian a blank look.Just as he was about to speak, Ma Yunlu grabbed her and whispered to her ear, explaining Zhang Qian's identity softly.

Knowing that she is the wife of the emperor's brother-in-law, Lu Xiaohuan didn't dare to act presumptuously, but was a little upset.

In her opinion, she and Ma Yunlu are the top generals of the female cavalry. Although Zhang Qian is a relative of the emperor, she is just an ordinary female cavalry, so she is not qualified to intervene.

It must be Ma Yunlu who gave birth to a son and neglected to discipline him, which made Zhang Qian gain power.

"Sister, do you have time to go hunting?" Lu Xiaohuan said to Ma Yunlu: "Long time no see, let me see how the female cavalry has improved, and what kind of talents have been recruited in Jizhou."

As soon as Ma Yunlu heard it, he understood what Lu Xiaohuan meant. Just as he was about to stop her, Zhang Qian said first: "I have heard for a long time that Lu Du is the daughter of a flying general, and she is good at riding and shooting. It is also good to be able to go hunting with Lu Du, and gain a lot of experience." Yes. There is a hunting ground outside Wancheng, and I will accompany you there when Du Du is rested."

Ma Yunlu frowned, also a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Fu Shou also frowned.

Zhang Qian said again: "Riding, archery and hunting are all for warriors, the queen may not like it. However, Nanyang County is very famous for its studies. If your highness is interested, you might as well move to visit."

After hearing this, Fu Shou turned his anger into joy, and nodded with a smile.

She knew that Nanyang promoted enlightenment earlier, coupled with the money, the scale of the county school far exceeds that of other counties.But Zhang Ji is a martial artist, and although Ding Chong is a scholar, he doesn't like women's studies, so Nanyang County students are all men, which is somewhat different from the emperor's idea.

Now that she has come to Nanyang, she may be able to do something in this regard to relieve the emperor's worries.

Liu Xie stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by a group of teenagers, and two of them were fighting fiercely with swords and shields.

One of them is Cao Zhang, and the other is Wei Yan, who came to join the army.

"How is this kid?" Liu Xie asked Shi A beside him in a low voice.

Shi A withdrew his gaze and bowed slightly. "The muscles and bones are very good, but I haven't been taught by a famous teacher, and my skills are rough. I just let my blood and courage. If you fight with ordinary people, there is no problem. When you meet a real master, you will inevitably show your timidity."

"It's okay to teach now, right?"

"No problem." Shi Ah said with a smile: "As long as you have to suffer more, first correct the mistakes you have learned, and practice again, then you can become a master."

Liu Xie nodded and said nothing more.

While speaking, the two had already decided the winner.Cao Zhang seized the opportunity and slashed three times in a row. Taking advantage of Wei Yan's ability to parry, he suddenly kicked up and kicked Wei Yan and his shield into the air.

Wei Yan fell to the ground, disheveled.

Cao Zhang triumphantly played a trick. "Are you convinced?"

Wei Yan stared at Cao Zhang fiercely. "I don't agree. Don't you just rely on your strength, and your martial arts are so-so. If I hadn't been driving for a few days and was hit by a horse at the gate of the city, I wouldn't have lost to you."

"Besides, be stubborn." Cao Zhang curled his lips in disdain, put the knife back into its sheath, and stretched out his hand to pull Wei Yan up. "My name is Cao Zhang. You have a good rest. You can come to me at any time. I will beat you until you are convinced."

Wei Yan stood up, clapped his hands in frustration, and turned to leave.

"Wait." Liu Xie stopped him.

Before Wei Yan could react, Cao Zhang grabbed him first. "What are you running for? Losing to me doesn't mean you have no chance."

Wei Yan was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Liu Xie, then at Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang grinned, his chest straightened up, and he looked forward to being a hero. "I am a natural master, and there are not many who can beat me. You can support a few rounds in front of me, which has already met the requirements."

Wei Yan was overjoyed, and hurried to Liu Xie, bowing to salute.

"grown ups……"

"My lord." Cao Zhang rushed over and patted him. "This is the Son of Heaven, quickly call Your Majesty."

Wei Yan turned pale with shock, and the teenagers taking the exam were also stunned.

Liu Xie's clothes were simple, and he was no different from other warriors if he didn't look carefully.They also only regarded Liu Xie as an ordinary examiner, with a higher status at most, and they never thought that he would be the emperor.

This is the young hero who was born in response to the fate and turned the tide in just a few years?
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty." Wei Yan reacted and fell to his knees with a plop.

The teenagers who took the test also reacted and knelt down one after another.

"Get up, those who don't know are not guilty." Liu Xie reached out and patted Wei Yan on the shoulder. "Where are you from?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Xiaomin is from Yiyang."

"Yiyang is not close to Wancheng. The edict to recruit soldiers has just arrived in your county, right?"

"Xiaomin didn't see the imperial edict." Wei Yan answered first: "Xiaomin heard that His Majesty was coming to Nanyang, so he prepared to join the army. Only when he arrived in Wancheng did he know that His Majesty ordered to recruit troops."

He raised his head and puffed out his chest. "When Xiaomin heard that His Majesty pacified Liangzhou, he wanted to join the army and lead horses for His Majesty. It's just that he was young at that time and his parents refused, so it has been delayed until now."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. "So, you have been waiting for me to come, so you didn't accept the enlistment of Hussar General?"

Wei Yan pouted. "The hussar general is brave and intrepid, and his morality is not worthy. Xiaomin doesn't want to follow him."

"Presumptuous!" Left Governor Meng Da sternly stopped. "You dare to talk about ministers in front of His Majesty, you are so brave, who ordered you to come?"

Wei Yan was taken aback and shook his hands again and again. "No one instructed me, I just..." He hummed and didn't dare to say any more.

Liu Xie frowned. "Have you ever read?" Without waiting for Wei Yan to answer, he said again: "With your open-mouthed appearance, I'm afraid you haven't read it well. How about it, you go to the county to study for a year, and come back next year take an exam."
