Chapter 153
Xu Hanlin wanted to avenge his father and shine his family, so he naturally needed an opportunity. The Xu family had been in the imperial court of Song State for so many years and had accumulated a lot of connections. However, his father's death involved in the harem, and no one dared to help him, making it almost impossible for their family to move forward in Song State, let alone think about something to stand out.
Just when he was wandering and despair, his newlywed wife's sister and brother-in-law suddenly came to visit his home. When he was reminiscing about the various things about Zhou State, especially when he heard that he could pass the exam to become an official in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he suddenly felt hot and restless.
Then he licked his face and asked his wife's brother-in-law, the general of Zhou Li Kaigu, about everything about Zhou.
Of course, he asked him to let go of everything and surrender to Zhou Guo so firmly because of what his teacher, Mr. Qiu, the head of the School of Humanities, said to him.
Three months ago, when he talked about current affairs with his master, Mr. Qiu, he discussed the pros and cons of the Great Zhou and the Song Kingdom. Although the Great Zhou was a little weak in the past few years, he was young since the current king ascended the throne, but he was wise and powerful, and had great talent. In just a few years, the Zhou Kingdom rose rapidly in his hands, and his national strength was great, becoming the most powerful country in the Eastern Region.
He captured power and treacherous internally, quelled civil unrest, rectified the court's principles, selected talents, promoted profits and eliminated disadvantages, implemented new policies, and enjoyed people's livelihood. He also vigorously developed market industry and commerce, reformed salt administration, reorganized the civil order, and enriched the treasury.
He also had great martial arts and outstanding achievements in the foreign countries, and was very powerful in all countries. He occupied the Liao Kingdom in the north, Hanhai and other barbarians, and fought countless wars, but never lost. He also fought in foreign territory in the south, regaining the land in the south, making hundreds of countries in the south respect the power of the Great Zhou Tian, and the whole country surrendered, expanding the border for thousands of miles.
Although the Song Kingdom occupied the rich and essential land of the Eastern Region, the land was fertile and the resources were abundant. Its wealth was the highest in the Eastern Region, and even the five regions of China were hardly any of them.
However, he had countless wealth, but his force was not prosperous. He had a million armies, but there was no real man. Even the small country could compete with the Song State, forcing him to cede land and pay compensation, which made people lose all their hearts and feel ashamed to speak out.
For the Great Zhou Empire, countries like Song cannot even talk about their opponents, so what future can they have? As for the Great Zhou, as long as they give him time and truly tie them together, then who will be the opponent in the Eastern Region will be? It is only a matter of time before the Eastern Region is unified.
And if he wants to gain a future and make achievements, he naturally has to choose the best one. This imperial examination is just the right time, and it is also an opportunity for him to make a big name for the Great Zhou Dynasty. Thinking of this, Xu Hanlin's heart is getting hotter and hotter...
"Hanlin, it's really you. I thought I had accepted it wrong?" Suddenly, a surprise sounded from the side, which scared Xu Hanlin's hands trembled and almost sprinkled the wine.
I quickly looked up and saw a round-faced scholar wearing a gray essay shirt, walking towards him quickly with a look of surprise.
Looking at the visitor, Xu Hanlin was also stunned. Isn’t this Bi Ziyan, his friend in the Song State Academy? Why did he come to the Great Zhou Dynasty? This Bi Ziyan is different from him. He is from a noble family and has a prominent background. His grandfather was Sikong Biyong, a famous capable minister in the Song State, and one of the prime ministers of the Song State.
Immediately said in surprise: "Ziyan, why are you here too? You...you are..."
Bi Ziyan naturally knew what Xu Hanlin wanted to say, so he smiled and said, "Hanlin, don't think too much. It was my grandfather who asked me to come to Dazhou. I don't know that Hanlin, you came to Dazhou..."
"I...hey...I didn't hear that the Great Zhou Dynasty will take the exam this year and recruit talents from all over the world, so I'll try my luck..."
After hearing this, Bi Ziyan said with surprise: "Oh, Hanlin, are you also coming to Dazhou for a certain way out? I think with Hanlin's talent, you will definitely stand out in the exam."
When Xu Hanlin heard Bi Ziyan praise him, he quickly became modest and asked curiously:
"Ziyan, I don't know if your grandfather asked you to come to Dazhou..."
"I'm here to take the exam too..." Bi Ziyan was a little overwhelmed when talking about his coming to Dazhou.
"Zi Yan, you are also here in Dazhou to take the exam? How is that possible? Your grandfather is one of the three Dukes of the Song Dynasty and a well-known important minister of the Song Dynasty. Wouldn't it be better to become an official in the Song Dynasty? Why do you have to come from Dazhou God to take the exam?..." Xu Hanlin was stunned when he heard that Bi Zi Yan was also here to take the exam and asked.
"Who knows what my grandfather wants to ask me to take the exam, threatening to expel me if I don't come, I will expel me from the house. Oh... I'm so sad for my brother!" Bi Ziyan shook his head and smiled bitterly. Wanba Novel Network 博取取
Xu Hanlin thought to himself after hearing this. Did these people from aristocratic families start betting early?
The candlelight was warm and the two old friends were talking, and Xu Hanlin's wife Hu Suyi was also talking to the maid in an inn in Tianxifang.
"Miss, we really won't go back to the Central Region. If the mountain master finds out that we run to the Eastern Region, it will be a disaster. And Miss, you and Mr. Xu... Then... Then..." The green-clothed maid said to Hu Suyi with a frightened look on her face.
"What are you afraid of? Are you married to someone differently? I haven't seen your father do anything to your sister." Hu Suyi said with some disregard.
The maid in green suddenly became anxious and said anxiously:
"How can it be the same? Miss Seven is just from the side room and is a concubine's daughter. No one cares about it at all. But Miss, you are different. You are the eldest lady born in the Qingqiu Mountain. The jewel of the mountain master's palm is the pearl in the palm of your hand. Even the princess of the royal family is not as noble as you.
If the mountain master knows that you have married an ordinary man without permission, the mountain master will get angry and we can't afford to take it..."
Seeing that the maid in green clothes looked extremely anxious, Hu Suyi stood up and patted her head, comforting her:
"Yiyi, don't worry, how can I not know the temper of my father? There are reasons for this when I came to Dazhou with my husband. Dazhou is far from comparable to Song State. Song State is just a sacred empire with its empire without any deterrence.
But the Great Zhou is different. The country is in great fortune, with dragons and tigers, and arrogant. Even the most powerful Jiuxiao Dynasty among the nine dynasties in the Central Region may not be comparable to the Great Zhou, so even if the father chases the Great Zhou, he dare not do anything randomly.
Haven't you noticed that since we entered the Great Zhou territory, our magic power has been suppressed. After arriving at the Shendu, the Yuanhai of Dantian was even more imprisoned, and there was no magic power to use."
Yi Yi was stunned when she heard this. She didn't care. She wanted to rush to use her magic power. But after a long time, it was like a rock sinking into the sea. Dantian Yuanhai had no reaction at all. It seemed like she was imprisoned. Her face changed and she said anxiously:
"Miss, what should I do? Even magical powers and spells cannot be used. What should I do if someone is asking us for trouble?"
"You are stupid. We can't use magic powers, so it's impossible for others to..." Hu Suyi knocked Yiyi's little head and said with a smile.
"That's right, how could I not have expected it? In this way, everyone in God is ordinary people, so it will naturally be no threat to us." Yi Yi clapped happily as if he suddenly realized his mind.
"Along the way, you have also seen that the Great Zhou attaches great importance to the law and is strict in the legal system. The law is the first priority in everything. As long as we are calm and obedient in the Great Zhou, no one dares to cause trouble for us!" Hu Suyi said with a smile.
"Yeah, Miss, Yiyi understands it!" Yiyi nodded quickly.
