Chapter 154 The end of the examination
Li Tian'ao's suggestion was met with agreement from many people, who nodded in approval.

However, some people have raised questions.

"But what if Emperor Xuanhe learns from us in advance that a snow disaster is going to occur, and he takes countermeasures accordingly?"

Li Tian'ao disagreed with this point.

"Even if Emperor Xuanhe learns from us that a snow disaster is going to occur, you all should know the current state of Daqing."

"The national treasury of Daqing is currently in deficit, and Emperor Xuanhe simply cannot afford to provide disaster relief."

"Even if it can be used for disaster relief, corruption is rampant in Daqing, so how much of this disaster relief money will actually reach the people?"

"At that time, it will still cause dissatisfaction among the people."

Of course, there is another possibility: that Emperor Xuanhe took some measures to protect the people before he learned that a snow disaster would occur.

For example, when a snow disaster strikes, people need to keep warm.

We can first give the people anything related to keeping warm.

But Li Tian'ao counted them carefully, and there were only two kinds of things that could keep warm.

One is coal, and the other is cloth.

Daqing has always been short of coal, and coal prices are high, so how could it possibly be given to the people for free or at a low price?

As for cloth, the quantity of cloth has always been relatively small due to production constraints.

Those warm fabrics were even more expensive, and ordinary people simply couldn't afford them.

"...Therefore, Emperor Xuanhe could not possibly have made any prior preparations." Because he had no other options.

Everyone present nodded in agreement upon hearing Li Tian'ao's words.

"Alright, it's decided then. We'll do as Brother Li said, spread this news, and suppress that dog emperor Daqing!"

After arranging this matter, the leader looked at Li Tian'ao.

"Brother Li, are you preparing to leave?"

"Yes, I've been away from home for a while now. My wife is pregnant, so I need to go back and check on her."

"I see. Then I won't keep Brother Li any longer."

"King Chen, rest assured, as long as the Shuntian Uprising Army needs me, I, Li Tian'ao, will not hesitate to do so."

After all, he is now considered a member of the Shuntian Uprising Army.

However, the current leader of the Shuntian uprising is this Prince Chen.

Chen Wang, whose real name was Chen Wang, was addressed as "Chen Wang" by others.

Li Tian'ao knew that what he needed to do was to build up his reputation within the Shuntian uprising army, and when the time was right, he would bring down Chen Wang and take over for himself.

After saying goodbye to Chen Wang, Li Tian'ao packed his bags and prepared to leave.

While packing his belongings, Li Tian'ao couldn't help but pick up the purse hanging from his waist.

The purse was embroidered with light green bamboo; it was a token of love that Qingru gave him.

This purse also carries the promise between him and Qingru.

In fact, Li Tian'ao learned about the impending snow disaster at the end of the year from Lin Qingru.

Lin Qingru instructed him to use this incident to build his reputation within the Shuntian uprising army.

Li Tian'ao clutched his purse, his eyes filled with longing for Lin Qingru and ambition for the future.

He will not let Qingru down; he will definitely ascend the throne!
The imperial examinations in the capital were in full swing.

The examination lasted for nine days, until the very last day, when the last subject was completed, and only then did the gates of the examination hall slowly open.

Outside the examination hall, a large number of people had already been waiting.

It was packed with people.

When the gates of the examination hall opened, everyone craned their necks to look inside.

The same is true of Comte.

There was still worry in his eyes.

After all, my cousin had been sick before taking the imperial examination, and I don't know if he can get through these nine days.

Also, my cousin is actually my younger cousin. Women's bodies are generally weaker.

Kong De wanted to know his cousin's health condition as soon as possible.

So he arrived at the entrance of the examination hall early and waited, and at this time he was at the very front of the line.

Even though people kept pushing forward from behind.

However, Kong De was muscular and strong, standing as steady as a mountain, so there was no need to worry about him being pushed off.

At this moment, he also desperately looked towards the people coming out of the examination hall, searching for Chu Yu's figure.

None of the previous batches that came out were Chu Yu, which made Kong De a little anxious.

Fortunately, he soon spotted Chu Yu.

"Cousin!" Seeing Chu Yu's pale face and frail body swaying precariously, Kong De was terrified and rushed forward to support him.

Chu Yu, who was already exhausted, collapsed onto Kong De and then fainted.

Only then did Kong De realize that his cousin's face was frighteningly pale, and he had fainted.

Kong De quickly scooped Chu Yu up in his arms and rushed towards the clinic...
-
When Chu Yu opened her eyes again, she found herself in an inn room, with bright light streaming through the window.

You can also smell the aroma of traditional Chinese medicine in your nostrils.

Chu Yu turned her head and saw the medicine bubbling away on the stove.

But at that moment, the door was opened.

Kong De entered carrying a bowl of porridge.

Seeing that Chu Yu was awake, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Cousin, you're finally awake. This is some porridge for you. You must be hungry. Eat some porridge to fill your stomach first. The doctor said that you shouldn't eat anything too greasy right now."

"Cousin, what happened? How long have I been asleep?" Chu Yu struggled to sit up, finding himself with very little strength.

"You've been sleeping all night."

According to Kong De's account, Chu Yu learned that he had fainted after leaving the examination hall, and his cousin Kong De had carried him to the hospital to see a doctor.

"...Luckily we arrived early. You have no idea how many people came after us."

After the doctor took Chu Yu's pulse, the result was not bad.

I'm not sick, just too tired, and my body isn't getting enough nutrition.

Just go back and get some sleep. I prescribed some tonics and asked Kong De to brew them for Chu Yu to help her recover.

Chu Yu suddenly realized that she had slept all night and it was already the second day after the exam.

Looking back on those nine days at the examination hall...

Chu Yu, on the other hand, felt it was alright.

After all, he survived and wasn't assigned to a bad class, so he was relatively lucky.

but……

Chu Yu sniffed her clothes. She hadn't paid much attention when she first woke up, but now, the sour and foul smell immediately came through.

After all, he hadn't washed up in the examination hall for nine days, so he must have been smelly by now.

This time, Chu Yu really couldn't stand the smell.

"Cousin, I want to..."

"I know you want to take a bath. I've already asked the waiter to boil some water. Drink some porridge first, so you'll have some strength."

Conde knew that his cousin was a germaphobe.

He definitely couldn't stand the stench emanating from that body.

However, due to the difference between men and women, and since his cousin had fallen into a deep sleep, he couldn't change him, so he could only wait for him to wake up on his own.

Although Chu Yu really wanted to take a bath immediately, she knew that her cousin was right.

So, we started by having some porridge.

The porridge is still a bit hot.

However, in this weather, drinking hot porridge is still quite nice. A bowl of hot porridge with side dishes warms you up.
