Daqin: This prince always wants to rebel

August 1, the 449th year of Sedum.

early morning.

Baiyun County, Licheng, Wangjiacun.

A neatly dressed young man with a slim figure and a delicate face was packing useful things accompanied by his parents.

Today, the young man will go to the county town to take the county examination. Only by passing the county examination can he go to the imperial city to take the real imperial examination one month later.

The county examination was conducted first, and then the large-scale imperial examination was conducted mainly because there were too many people taking the imperial examination and the first round of screening was necessary.

The exact number of people screened varies from county to county.

Counties with more residents will have more quotas accordingly. Only candidates who fall within the quota can go to the imperial city to take the imperial examination.

Young Wang Lin, this time, is going to the county town with several colleagues from his hometown to take the county examination.

Others saw the young man smiling with joy, but in fact he was already panicking inside.

Since it was his first time participating, he was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to pass, which made him feel stressed.

The exam is in seven days.

Seeing his son's current situation, the king's father, who was smoking a cigarette next to him, said: "Son, don't be so nervous. If you are nervous, you will only fail in the examination room."

"Dad! You are standing and talking without pain in your back. If you were like my son, you would probably be more nervous than me." Wang Lin responded with a wry smile on his face.

"What you said is true, but you should know that if you are too nervous, it is very likely that you will fail the exam." Father Wang said seriously.

"Xiao Lin, what your father said is true. Don't be too nervous, otherwise it will be very detrimental to you in the future." The Queen Mother, who was helping to pack things next to her, also asked her son to relax.

Seeing that his parents cared so much about him, Wang Lin secretly decided that he must pass the county examination and then go to the imperial city to take the imperial examination every three years.

With the help of his parents, Wang Lin quickly packed up his things, got enough money, and then set off on his way to the exam.

Reluctant to give up, Wang's father and queen's mother accompanied their son to the entrance of the village. Apart from them, all the men from Wang's village who were going to take the exam came to the entrance of the village accompanied by their parents.

After exchanging greetings with their parents, the two hundred and twenty-eight men from Wangjiacun set out on their way to the county town.

Everyone is carrying a cage on their back, and an "Imperial Flag" is stuck on it. One side has the word "Da Qin" written on it, and the other side has the word "candidate" written on it. Next to the word "candidate", there is also

There is everyone's name.

This "imperial flag" is not a simple thing. The Qin Dynasty even issued a pass to the candidates. With it, the journey was smooth, and major restaurants gave priority to receive them and arrange accommodation.

Even if you enter the city in the evening, the closed door will be opened for you as soon as possible, and then you will be admitted to a special restaurant under the arrangement of a specific person.

In addition, this is also a protection sign.

On the way to the imperial examination, if someone dares to hurt you or prevent you from taking the imperial examination, they will be punished by the Nine Clan.

What happened in Wangjiacun is also happening in various places in Baiyun County. No, to be precise, it is happening in all 582 counties of the Qin Dynasty.

The candidates who set off from home all headed to one destination, the county seat of their respective county, and took part in the first imperial examination of the year.

Although it is only a county examination, everyone knows clearly that if they fail to pass the county examination, they will not be able to enter the imperial city to take the imperial examination.

Candidates from surrounding dynasties also embarked on their way to take the imperial examination after receiving their corresponding examination qualification certificates.

…

Noon, Da Qin Palace.

In the huge imperial study room, Qin Tianlong was sitting on a chair with a sad look on his face.

I have no mood to change the memorial in front of me.

Wang Wei, who was next to him, saw this and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what's bothering you?"

"Candidates from all over the country are going to various counties to take the military exam, and I'm worried that something will happen." Qin Tianlong recounted his worries.

"Since Your Majesty is worried, why don't you go and check it out in person, so that you can feel relieved."

"What a great idea!" Qin Tianlong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately ordered Liu Wei: "Eunuch Liu, go and ask the prince to come over and correct the memorial for me."

"promise!"

Liu Wei next to him responded, then stood up and left, and Wang Wei quickly followed.

As soon as he walked out of the imperial study, Wang Wei asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to go on this trip in secret or openly?"

"Being aboveboard is too easy to attract attention, and it will also put a lot of pressure on the candidates, so it is better to travel secretly." Qin Tianlong answered without thinking.

Traveling openly will not only attract attention and create pressure on candidates, but may even cause trouble, especially those who want him dead.

Although he is not afraid of those people, he hates those annoying flies. In addition, he does not want to create pressure on the candidates.

"In this case, the slave will ask them to prepare the teleportation array so that His Majesty can leave here secretly."

"Go for it!"

"No!" In response, Wang Wei immediately quickened his pace and left.

Qin Tianlong went to his palace to tidy up before leaving the palace.

Liu Wei, who left the Imperial Study Room, took an ancient water antelope horse carriage and soon arrived at the East Palace, where he saw Qin Lang reading under the pavilion.

Su Mucheng stood behind him and kept massaging him.

Su Mucheng was able to enter the imperial palace and settle in the East Palace, all because of Qin Lang.

However, due to her special nature, Su Mucheng did not enter the East Palace as a concubine, but with a special identity.

"Old slave, see His Highness the Crown Prince." As soon as he arrived at the pavilion, Liu Wei immediately saluted.

"What's the matter with Eunuch Liu?" Qin Lang stopped reading and turned to Liu Wei.

"When I return to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has something to do, so I ask His Majesty to come and take over His Majesty's affairs."

"Do you know what your Majesty is doing here?" Qin Lang asked curiously.

"I forgive my offence, but I cannot tell His Majesty what your Majesty wants to do."

Not getting the answer he wanted, Qin Lang stopped worrying, put down what he was doing, and headed to the Imperial Study Room with Su Mucheng and Chen Gui.

Wei Zhongxian was not brought with him, mainly because the other party's range of activities was limited to the East Palace, and no other places were allowed in or out.

This is why Qin Lang couldn't take the other party to the imperial study room.

Su Mucheng had the emperor's permission.

Not long after, everyone came to the imperial study room, and Qin Lang also sat where the emperor usually sat.

When he saw a pile of memorials placed in front of him, black lines appeared on his face.

Is this workload a bit heavy? And depending on the situation, it seems to have been accumulated over several days.

Liu Wei couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

These memorials on the table have been accumulated for several days.

The reason why the emperor did not make corrections was mainly because he was a little worried about the imperial examination, so he was not in the mood to make corrections, otherwise he would have been dealt with long ago.

After letting out a long sigh, Qin Lang began to correct the memorial...

Time flies and it’s evening in a blink of an eye.

After an afternoon of work, Qin Lang had only finished correcting half of the memorial.

Looking at the rest of the memorial, he did not feel any joy, but was speechless.

What has been going on with the emperor these past few days? Why haven't you finished correcting these memorials?

By correcting these memorials, he also knew clearly that the specific content of these memorials was about the ongoing imperial examinations and what was happening in various places.

Among them, the incident about heavy rain is the most ordinary.

In recent times, heavy rains have occurred frequently in southern counties. These heavy rains not only bring mudslides, but also cause road paralysis.

Although officials from all over the country are sending people to do their best to repair it, because it has been raining, they are just taking it one day at a time.

Faced with such a situation, each county could only ask the emperor to send troops to deal with it.

However, since the emperor was preoccupied with the imperial examinations, this matter was delayed.

After he finished correcting these memorials, he immediately ordered Liu Wei to do it and notified the troops from various places to repair the roads...

She stopped thinking about him and took Su Mucheng back to the East Palace.

As soon as she returned to her residence, Su Mucheng lay paralyzed on the imperial concubine's couch, looking very tired.

Seeing this, Qin Lang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

She has done nothing except reading some books this day, and now she is as tired as a dog!

After arriving and sitting down on the imperial concubine's couch, Qin Lang began to think about the next thing.

Whether it is his adviser or the prince's adviser, they are all preparing for the county examination at the moment.

Although they are all in the imperial city, they still have to take the county exam. Only by passing the county exam can they enter the next round of exams.

Seeing Qin Lang come and sit down on the bed, Su Mucheng turned around, using his thighs as a pillow, while holding his waist with both hands, and burying her head in his abdomen.

Reaching out and touching Su Mucheng's head, Qin Lang smiled and said, "Mu Cheng, do you want to eat barbecue?"

"Barbecue? What is barbecue?" Su Mucheng raised her head and looked at Qin Lang with some doubts, wondering what the barbecue was in the other person's mouth.

"A very delicious food, do you want to eat it?" Qin Lang replied with a smile.

"I want to!" When Su Mucheng heard about food, she nodded in response without hesitation, her eyes filled with desire.

"Wait a moment, let them prepare now." After saying this, he said softly: "Xiao Guizi."

Chen Gui, who was standing outside the door, heard Qin Lang calling him and immediately came to the house and said, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Qin Lang said: "Go and prepare the ingredients for the barbecue. Remember to bring some vegetables, not always meat."

"No!" In response, Chen Gui took a few steps back, then turned and left.

As for what ingredients to use for barbecue, after so many days of getting along with him and accompanying Qin Lang to have barbecue, he had already remembered it in his mind.

"Your Highness." While the two kept chatting, Xun You's voice suddenly sounded in Qin Lang's mind.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Qin Lang raised his right hand, pressed his temple, and said silently: "What's the matter?"

"Just now, the Jinyi Guards came to report that there was a woman sneaking around outside the Prince's Mansion." Xun You immediately answered.

Qin Lang asked calmly: "Do you know who the other party is?"

"Not sure! But judging from the other person's figure, the woman seems to be from Xiling."

"Xiling woman? Wait... is it Murong Yao?" Qin Lang was suddenly startled, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

Murong Xi had said before that her sister must come to find her. As for why she came? The other party did not tell her.

However, judging from Xun Yu's narration, Murong Xi's sister Murong Yao has already arrived. As for how to enter the imperial city? I'm afraid no one knows.

"Your Highness, do you need me to seat that woman down?" Xun You asked.

"No need! In addition, you send someone to contact her, bring her into the Prince's Mansion, and then ask the two women who originally served Mucheng to serve her." Qin Lang said calmly.

Although I don't know why this woman came because of me, since she has arrived and I promised Murong Xi, I naturally can't let her wander around.

If the other party falls into King Chen's hands, it will not be such a good thing for him, and it may even become a pawn against him.

"promise!"

After telling some more words, Qin Lang ended the conversation and then thought about things about southern Xinjiang.

Thanks to the efforts of Saint Asang, today's southern Xinjiang has become the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

Although there are still some people who disobey discipline and do not want to obey the orders of the Qin Dynasty, and secretly resist the Qin Dynasty.

But for him, he didn't need to pay much attention to it. He only needed to arrange for the "Jinyi Guards" to find them out and then kill them.

In order to take over southern Xinjiang, he and Saint Asang put in a lot of effort. The process was not only thrilling, but also almost failed.

Fortunately, Saint Assan is very smart, otherwise things would not only fail, but also cause a series of unimaginable consequences.

Since he had captured Southern Xinjiang without spending a single soldier, Qin Tianlong also canceled his plan of destruction and transferred all the troops originally stationed at the border of Southern Xinjiang.

As for where these transferred troops went? If his prediction was correct, the transferred troops might have secretly gone to Xiling.

As long as they wait for the right time, they will attack Xiling without hesitation and capture it, making it the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

According to the news from Xiling, when King Xiling Khan Duanmukai learned that southern Xinjiang had been destroyed, he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly added troops to the border.

Even though the two forces were already in a state of marriage, King Khan of Xiling still added troops to the border. He knew better than anyone else that the seemingly peaceful Qin Dynasty would definitely march westward and destroy Xiling.

When Southern Xinjiang was still there, they, Xi Ling, had no need to fear the Great Qin Dynasty. But now that Southern Xinjiang has been destroyed, they are left with only a dead end...

After a long time, Chen Gui came from outside the door and saluted: "Your Highness, the barbecue food you asked your servant to prepare has been prepared and placed in the attic where you often eat barbecue."

Hearing this, Qin Lang showed a smile on his face and said to Su Mucheng in his arms: "Mu Cheng, let's go, I will take you to eat barbecue and let you try this most beautiful food in the human world."

"Yeah!" Su Mucheng, the snack foodie, nodded hard, then stood up, put on her shoes, and left the attic with Qin Lang.
