A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination

    When the battle report from the north was delivered to Chang'an, the whole dynasty shook.

      If two battles can be resolved, this expedition, undefeated is qualified, if a small victory is one or two, it is a surprise. To put it bluntly, this Northern Expedition is not really about what to do with the Turks, but to use this battle to beat the vassals in the four seas.

    The majesty of Daxuan does not allow challenges.

    However, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty never dreamed that the war was not only won, but also captured the Turkic prince alive, killed the remnants of the previous dynasty, and even forced the Turkic khans to flee in a hurry, which was almost a blow to the Turks. Busted!

      If you intend to provoke the Xuan Dynasty, no matter how far or near, the court will not be light-hearted, even if it is as powerful as the Turks, it will be uprooted, not to mention the small countries such as Nanzhao and Goryeo.

    Rong Ke was overjoyed when she received the good news, and she did not expect Xiao Jingduo to be able to do this. She let the emperor sit in the main palace, and she herself took the civil and military officials outside the city to welcome the victorious returning general.

    Rong Ke stood in front of the officials wearing a black court dress, her wide sleeves were fluttering in the wind, and at a glance, it was breathtaking.

    When the princess and the ministers appeared in sight, General Geng was taken aback and immediately signaled everyone to stop, while he immediately dismounted and walked towards the princess and others on foot.

    "I have seen the princess, I have seen you ministers!"

    "General Geng forgive me!" Before Geng Rui could bow down, the female officer beside Rong Ke stopped him, Rong Ke smiled and helped old General Geng get up, "General Geng returned victorious, it is You are a hero of the dynasty, so you don't have to care about these false rituals."

    Geng Rui stood up and said, "Princess Xie is sympathetic."

    After Geng Rui, Rong Ke, and the ministers finished their greetings, Xiao Jingduo and other generals of the march had the opportunity to go forward and salute: "Eldest Princess Jin An, all the ministers are well."

    Geng Rui was helped up by the princess herself, so they would not have such good luck. Rong Ke smiled and asked the six people to avoid the ceremony: "You generals don't need to be too polite, just get up."

    Rong Ke's eyes swept over everyone, and when she passed by Xiao Jingduo, her eyes paused.

    General Geng was greatly moved when they heard it: "The princess is really careful, and the minister is ashamed!"

    Only Xiao Jingduo smiled and said, "Thank you princess."

    After hearing this, Rong Ke smiled and skipped this topic.

    After the monarch and his ministers had a good time outside the city, Rong Ke took the lead in boarding the Luan Jia and returned to the palace first. After the eldest princess' support and the accompanying courtiers were almost gone, General Geng led Xiao Jingduo back to the army, mounted his horse majestically, and said, "Raise the army and return to the dynasty!"

    The army started again. The central army went first, followed by the right army cavalry, the right army infantry, the left army cavalry, and the left army infantry. Xiao Jingduo led the right wing army, and after General Geng's middle army left, he led the right wing army who was waiting in battle.

    Xu is going back to the city, everyone in the army is excited, and the discipline has loosened a lot. An infantryman walked in the queue and whispered to the people around him: "Is it the Princess Regent who just stood at the front?"

    "It's too far away, I can't see it clearly, but the only female relative who can appear on this occasion is her."

    "I didn't expect the princess to be so young and beautiful, but it's a pity it's too far away to see her face."

    "You don't see the face, how do you know the princess is beautiful?"

    "Look at the figure..." The infantry lowered his voice and was about to talk to his teammates when he was suddenly called.

    "Su Su!"

    Su Su was shocked, and immediately stood upright and shouted: "Yes!"

    "Don't speak during the march. If you commit another crime, you will be dealt with by military law."

    Su Su's face turned pale with fright: "I obey, I will never dare to be a humble officer again."

    The cavalry on patrol was satisfied, and led Ma Chao to run fast.

    He ran to the head of the team, walked to Xiao Jingduo on his horse, and said in a low voice, "General Xiao, you said that I have already warned them about those two people, and they must not dare to do it again."

    Xiao Jingduo nodded and said indifferently: "I'm going to enter the city soon. Returning to the court is not a trivial matter. Strictly restrain the soldiers in the army, and they are not allowed to talk to each other. If they neglect discipline, they will be dealt with by military sticks."

    "Yes!" The cavalry led the way and retreated. He secretly clicked his tongue, General Xiao was really strict, and he still did not relax his military discipline when he returned from victory. No wonder he was able to lead the whole army to victory.

      Suzaku Street is the main street of Chang'an. At this moment, both sides are already surrounded by people. Seeing the triumphant army entering the city, many people shouted excitedly.

    The squads passed one by one, and the cheers from the crowd became more and more enthusiastic. When Xiao Jingduo led the right wing army to appear in front of the people, the screams suddenly sounded, almost breaking through the sky.

    "Who is that person?"

    "Walking at the forefront on horseback, wearing general armor, obviously a small general in the army."

    "He is so young?"

    At this time, General Geng Rui was about to walk to the imperial city, and when he heard the fierce shouts behind him, with the words "General Xiao" faintly mixed, General Geng snorted disdainfully: " Now the little lady is really not ashamed, because she looks better and she is younger, how can she deserve such praise from them?" Then he thought again, thinking of when he was young...

    On the day when the teacher returned to the court, another Langjun became popular in Chang'an. Every girl in the city knows that a new character has appeared in the Northern Expedition Army.

    He is a handsome general Xiao, and also Xiao Jinshi in the ninth year of Qiyuan.

    General Geng took the army to show off in the city, and then led the lieutenant general into the palace to see the holy face. This victory can be described as hard-won, the ruler and the ministers are happy together, and it is rare in the court to let go of the partisan struggle and unanimously say joy.

    Rong Ke had prepared a celebration banquet at Chengtian Gate Tower for a long time. After General Geng reported what happened on the battlefield, he ordered everyone to move to the gate tower.

    This celebration feast can be said to be a joyous occasion for the ruler and his ministers. The mid-level soldiers and ordinary courtiers in the army feast under the gate tower, while Rong Ke and the emperor Rong Lang sit on the gate tower, and have a few friends with their husbands and General Geng. People have another banquet.

    "At this age, I thought this was the end of my life. I didn't expect to be able to participate in the Turkic war, and to write something new on the tombstone after death.

    "General Geng's words are serious." Rong Ke smiled, "You are the **** of war of my grand declaration. You have fought in the Quartet over the years and made countless achievements. This time, it is even more powerful. I have to live for a long time, so as to shock Sifang Xiaoxiao, how can I say such depressing words?"

    "Alas." Geng Rui sighed, "It's impossible for people to refuse to obey the old, it is too arrogant to say that the minister is too arrogant, if it is not for Xiao Jingduo this time, I am afraid that the old man will be entrusted by the saint and shameless I have seen the great ancestor under Izumi!"

    Rong Ke also knew about the fact that Geng Rui was besieged by the Turks, but beating the old minister should be done in private, the atmosphere is just right now, it is better to hold it together, so Rong Ke did not mention this, but smiled: " What did General Geng say about this, everyone knows your credit, so why should you blame yourself?"

    Geng Rui still shook his head and said firmly: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the minister is already old, and the opportunity should be given to the young people. To be honest, Xiao Jingduo should be the first credit for this great victory over the Turks. !"

    Xiao Jingduo has been drinking quietly. Hearing this, he quickly stood up and declined: "The general is too humble, and he dare not be a lower official."

    "I'm just telling the truth, there's no excuse for this." General Geng Rui waved his rough and powerful hand and said, "Sit down, I have written these in the battle report long ago. Inside, don't push. Several ministers are sensible people, there is no need to be so restrained in front of them. "

    It is precisely because there are six prime ministers sitting here that Xiao Jingduo must be cautious in his words and deeds. When several prime ministers saw that Geng Rui was so optimistic about a junior, they all softened their faces towards Xiao Jingduo, and said with a smile, "General Geng's words are very true, you don't need to be restrained."

      Several other lieutenants in the same army saw that Xiao Jingduo was so taken seriously, and they all cast envious or jealous eyes.

    Not long after Xiao Jingduo sat down, Rong Ke looked over with a smile: "I heard that this time, General Xiao has a lot of tricks. It is said that you are responsible for the sound of the east and the west and the surprise attack in the fog?"

    "Your Highness is too famous."

    Rong Ke smiled: "General Geng, as you see it..."

    "Princess don't pay attention to him, you are right, these are indeed the ghost ideas of this kid." The old general replied very honestly.

    Rong Ke managed to hold back her laughter, she continued to hold the monarch's gentle and decent smile, and said: "The most important thing in the army is that rewards and punishments are clearly defined. There are many rewards. To calm down Monan and enhance the prestige of our country, such credits are enough to be recorded in the history annals. Kudos to it."

    Focus? Xiao Jingduo was taken aback, and so were the other people who were seated.

    What did they just hear, Marquis of Chengxi?

    Although many people here have the title of Duke and Marquis, but these were arbitrarily divided when the country was founded, and there are many people who have won the title, which is obviously different from Xiao Jingduo's single canonization. These people A little complicated in my mind.

    However, several ministers know that since Gan Ning dares to say this, he must be fully prepared, and he may not know how much he has left behind. Thinking about Xiao Jingduo's statement before the expedition, the prime ministers felt that they understood something.

    Gan Ning, this is to vigorously promote one's own people.

    In the past few days, the prime ministers have been dealing with Gan Ning a lot. They were originally from seniority and old age, so they didn't take this sixteen-year-old princess in their eyes, but during this period of time they fought each other, They were shocked to realize that although this girl was young, her scheming was first-rate, and she was simply born to play tricks and tricks. It's a pity that they have a lot of beards, but they still have to compete with a granddaughter's princess.

    Now that Gan Ning said Fenghou's words in front of everyone, he was naturally not afraid of their opposition. In the blink of an eye, the prime ministers turned their minds several times. They smiled and picked up their beards without saying a word.

      Since several prime ministers did not speak, others dared not say anything.

    "Since the ministers have no objection, then the canonization system will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites to prepare."

    Xiao Jingduo was so flattered, he immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

    The others slowly reacted and realized that what happened just now was true, and Xiao Jingduo was really going to be enthroned. They stood up with different thoughts and congratulated Xiao Jingduo: "Congratulations to Marquis Chengxi."

    To be a marquis at twenty-one, the title is comparable to that of his father, how proud this is! At the same time, the others who went out on the expedition were sour in their hearts, and they poured all their energy into Xiao Jingduo's wine: "Congratulations to the Marquis of Chengxi."

    Even the old general Geng Rui was greatly surprised. Although he helped Xiao Jingduo to get the seal, he didn't expect the person in charge to be so generous, and he gave him a marquis with a wave of his hand. General Geng was a little unbelievable. When Xiao Jingduo came over to toast, he whispered: "You boy is so lucky to have won a marquis. But maybe the emperor and the princess were drinking too much, so I said casually, you Next, perform well, but don't let the title you get fly away."

      The old general thanked: "General Xie Geng supported me in the army, I respect the general for this cup!"

      worry. Xiao Jingduo had been poured a lot of wine, and at this moment, when the wind blew, no amount of alcohol could hold up.

    "Master, can you still ride a horse? Should I call a carriage?" The servant who came to meet Xiao Jingduo said worriedly.

    A clever little servant next to him kicked his companion's ass: "What is your name, Dalangjun, you want to be called Hou Ye!"

    "Oh yes, I forgot, Lang Jun is now the Marquis of Chengxi." He was kicked for no reason, but he didn't dare to refute, and quickly changed his words, "Marquis, I want to Call for a carriage?"

    Hearing the lawsuit between the two, Xiao Jingduo smiled between his eyebrows: "No, riding a horse is not a problem. Just go back to the house."

    However, the news seems to have grown wings, returning to the Dingyonghou Mansion before Xiao Jingduo himself. The old lady accidentally smashed the tea cup, Wu Junru overturned the vase in a daze, Mrs. Xiao's mouth was scalded by the water, and even Xiao Ying almost lost her temper.

    "What, Xiao Jingduo was made a marquis?"

    The author has something to say: the foreshadowing of the past few days can be revealed, that is, the separation~
