Huo Yixiao left the palace.

Without going back to the Ministry of War immediately, he first went around the Censorate on the west side of Qianbulang.

Chen Zhenghan was telling the people below to do things. When he saw Huo Yixiao's figure, he hurriedly invited the person aside and asked in a low voice: "What does the emperor say?"

Huo Yixiao said: "The emperor asked, did Lord Chen discuss with me in advance?"

Chen Zhenghan's face was paralyzed.

Fortunately, the fourth son is still the fourth son, and the emperor has no intention of establishing a crown prince. Otherwise, "private discussion" was exaggerated by those who are interested in it as "forming a clique for personal gain", so how unfair he would be!

After all, there is no clique, let alone negotiation.

If it weren't for caring about how the emperor dealt with the Shen family, Chen Zhenghan would have wanted to drive Huo Yixiao out of the Censorate's Office.

The fourth young master is thorough, but he doesn’t care about his mouth!

When Huo Huaiding returns to Beijing, Chen Zhenghan wants to speak to him well. He must make the fourth young master pay attention to some words. He is waiting to retire at a young age, and he really can't stand the scare.

Chen Zhenghan glanced at Huo Yixiao and asked, "Did the emperor agree?"

Now, Huo Yixiao answered honestly: "The emperor said he knew, he thought about it for a long time. I'm not perfunctory."

Chen Zhenghan touched his beard.

He subconsciously wanted to ask how Huo Yixiao persuaded the emperor.

When the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back very hard.

If the fourth young master can convince the emperor, he will definitely use strong medicines. Those strong medicines can only be said to me as my son, and outsiders will say this...

Chen Zhenghan can't be the one who can speak.

If you can't learn it, you can't use it. For nothing, he will not know.

"It's not just perfunctory," Chen Zhenghan's heart fell halfway, patted his forehead, and said, "Look at my memory! Lord Huo and the memorials sent back together, and there is also a letter from home. I'll take it to you. You happened to take it back to Dafeng Street, so I won't go this trip."

Huo Yixiao naturally agreed.

After going to the yamen, Huo Yixiao went to the Huo family first.

Huo Yixuan reviewed his books in the study.

There are still a few days before the palace examination, and the candidates dare not relax, fearing that the indulgence in the last few days will become regrets when the results are released.

The palace examination only ranked, but did not fail, but who doesn’t want his ranking to be better?

The officials in the court watched the case develop, while the people privately talked about whether the Shen family would become the next existence to "see him to build a tall building, watch him to entertain guests, and see his building collapsed", but the candidates' focus was completely different.

Foreign relatives, smuggling, border defense, iron outflow, etc., from ancient times to the present, any allusions that can be touched with a little bit of them have been reconstructed, and the topics of policy discussion from various angles have been sorted out, written over and over again, revised over and over again, memorized over and over again.

Huo Yixuan is also preparing.

There are also students nominated by the Xinglist at Xiangju Academy. These days, Mr. Du and his team have listed many questions to them for themselves to think about and solve them.

Although Wen Ci did not participate in the palace examination, Mr. Du also gave him one.

I never mind writing too much.

I have read thousands of books and I can’t write less.

The old man also said that if it was Huo Yixuan and Dai Tianjian and others who didn't dislike him, they could also take it to see it.

The palace examination is about the ability of each person to write based on his or her skills, and the same questions. It depends on his or her ability.

Huo Yixuan did not refuse.

When Huo Yixiao came in, Huo Yixuan had just finished editing an article.

"I'll bring the letter from my uncle to the family." Huo Yixiao waved the envelope in his hand.

Huo Yixuan stood up from behind the desk, came over to receive the letter, and while removing the hot paint, he muttered: "I guess it was for my mother, maybe a long list is all greasy."

Huo Yixiao couldn't help laughing.

When the fire paint was opened, the envelope was taken out not the letter paper, but two envelopes.

One said "Xuanzai", the other said "Madam", and the next letter was covered with a varnish.

Huo Yixiao was even more happy when he saw it.

Huo Yixuan shook his head repeatedly: "What are you doing with another hot paint? Can others still care about his sour words? Anyway, I don't care about them."

He only reads what he wrote to him.

Not much, a piece of paper, and even the envelope is thin.

A few lines of words will be read soon.

The content is expected.

Knowing that the palace examination is about to be held, the old father is very concerned about his son's condition at the border and hopes that he can perform well.

"I'm really not nervous," Huo Yixuan said, "Many candidates don't even know the gate of the Imperial City Palace. No matter what I say, they also climbed over the wall of Changning Palace when they were young."

He knew very well that he had an advantage over some candidates during the palace examination.

Some candidates are not because of their academic performance, they are just nervous and unable to let go of their emotions.

The imperial city was majestic. When I sat in the hall where I took the exam, some people were trembling.

Of course, there will be people who are generous in their hearts, and they will be the same wherever they write, but most people are in awe of the imperial power and it is difficult for them to remain calm at that moment.

Huo Yixuan is really not afraid.

He even entered the imperial study room. At a young age, he raised his head and answered the emperor's questions. Sitting in the hall to write articles was nothing.

"Since you're not nervous," Huo Yixiao looked at Huo Yixuan, "I'll come back if I get the top scorer in the exam?"

Huo Yixuan shook his head: "Master Xiao, you are more fierce than my father! He never thought that I would win the No. 1 pick in his life."

Huo Yixiao said: "Madam Wu said, I will make you the top scholar cake on the day of the palace examination."

Huo Yixuan was even more happy when he heard this: "I eat too, Dai Tianjian also eat too, so how do you count? Xiao Ye, go to the imperial study and ask the emperor to criticize the two top scholars?"

This is certainly impossible.

It's just funny and relieved.

A letter from Mrs. Huo's home was sent to the backyard by an old woman.

Huo Yixiao heard Huo Yixuan complaining and left.

The next morning court, the news sent back by Huo Huaiding made the Golden Palace cloudy.

The emperor urged the Sansi with a slight face, whether it was Lingnan or the northern border, it was necessary to investigate quickly and find out a result as soon as possible.

After several consecutive days, Zhezi quickly arrived in the capital.

The progress in the south was not optimistic. There was no problem when the forest farm bit the logs to death and handed them over to the court. The subsequent entrainment had nothing to do with them, and the same was true for the stone farm.

The source and destination of the ironware are also foggy, which makes the emperor very angry.

This fire was completely burned after Huo Huaiding arrived at the note sent by Dingmen Pass.

In order to test whether the city wall is solid, Huo Huaiding summoned twenty archers from the defenders, stood a hundred steps away, and shot the city wall.

If it is firm, the long arrow cannot shoot into the wall, but falls to the ground.

Most of the city walls withstood the test, but in one section, under the rain of arrows, they were shot into a hornet's nest.

Huo Huaiding asked several strong men to swing their hammers again, and in just a quarter of an hour, a big hole broke out on the wall.

When Tatars send troops, they pay attention to speed. They generally do not use siege equipment such as catapults, but they are in a fierce manner and they are absolutely impossible to have more than 20 people.

Under the machete of the long arrow, such a city wall could not stop them at all.

Now, before the Tatars came, Huo Huaiding broke the wall first.
Chapter completed!
