Chapter 388
The war against Chenla in the south was much more difficult than the war in the north, not because of how powerful the Chenla army was, but because the environment was really bad. It was impossible for those armies to confront them head-on, but they ran faster than monkeys all over the mountains and wilds, so it was really difficult to completely wipe out their main force, but several important cities were successfully taken down.
The royal family of Zhenla didn’t want to stay in the mountains and run around all day long, so in the end they gave in and invited the queen of the Funan Kingdom who first took refuge in Dahua to come forward to mediate and apologize, and it took half a month to talk about land cession and compensation. Reluctantly ended the war.
It took a few months, and although they occupied more than ten cities, their achievements were nothing compared to the two major armies in the north. However, due to environmental factors, it was really difficult to completely conquer by force. Enough is enough.
However, everyone was not very satisfied with the results of this battle. Chu Qiao also felt that it was rare to bring troops to Southeast Asia. After returning, there would be no chance to come out again. Kingdoms of different sizes have all been cleaned up. Only a very small number of vassal states that sent out missions very early and bowed their heads to Dahua were spared.
It seems that Chu Qiao led the army and swaggered to force those small countries to bow their heads and surrender. It seems very bad. In fact, doing so can really reduce wars on a large scale. If you are afraid, you will not cause trouble. They will not be treated badly. Maybe after a few decades, the tribes of these countries will subtly call themselves Chinese.
Leaving aside the war in the south, let’s say that the Dahua Dynasty’s annual exam is about to start again. The national talent selection will start after the Spring Festival. Dahua Dynasty’s selection of talents is not rigid at the beginning. Citizens of Dahua, as long as they are 14 years old or older, can sign up.
As for why it is fourteen years old, of course it is because in the concept of people in this era, fourteen years old is barely considered an adult, and this point has not been changed.
Li Yunfei was also embarrassed to change this point. At that time, he accidentally gave a little girl who was only fourteen years old to that. If the saying that fourteen years old is considered an adult is abolished, things will be difficult to handle, so I just advocate that it is better for girls to wait until they are seventeen or eighteen years old before marrying, but few people will listen...
"Your Majesty, who is in charge of the main exam this time?" Feng Xiang came here specially to inquire about the person in charge of today's big exam.
"Well, you did a good job in the previous two times. You should be in charge this time. Lao Feng's big exam this time is of great significance, so don't let there be any fraud in the examination room, or else!"
"Thank you for your Majesty's trust. I understand that I will do my best to handle this matter well and live up to the mighty grace of the emperor..."
"Old Feng, we have known each other for several years, and there is no outsider here, why are you polite, sit down, drink tea, drink tea!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. It is a blessing for me to meet His Majesty in this life, and it is also a blessing for the people of the world to have a Holy Master like Your Majesty!"
"It's all said that you are welcome, don't be so outspoken, you are now the first prime minister, but you have to work hard, the first prime minister of our Dahua Dynasty, you have to set an example for future generations, I hope that thousands of years Afterwards, when it comes to Feng Xiangye, it is better to give a thumbs up."
"... I will definitely try my best!"
"Well, I heard that your wife has added a baby to you?"
"Don't dare, dare not, I'm just a girl!"
"That's great, our Da Hua Dynasty needs another talented woman!"
"...Your Majesty, in fact, you should favor a few more..." Feng Xiang hesitated for a moment, and brought up the old matter again.
"Let's not talk about that for now, let's talk about the arrangements for this big exam!" Li Yunfei directly changed the topic. It has been mentioned many times after the reunification.
...
Speaking of exams, Li Yunfei himself really hates exams, and knows that judging a person by their scores is wrong, but this is still the most effective way, and this is the only way to do it. It seems that there is no other good way even in later generations. The college entrance examination is still based on scores.
However, after going through layers of written tests, I can still conduct an interview, which is what the common people often call the palace test, so I won't really choose one, I just know that the nerd who knows nothing else about the test will become a high-ranking official.
The final exam is approaching, so the entire Chang'an city is extremely lively now, talents from all over the world gather in Chang'an, hoping to leap into the dragon's gate. Since you can't join the army and gain glory through military exploits, you can only rely on your talents to break through the world.
The Dahua Dynasty was established nearly three years ago, but this is the big exam. After Dahua unified the Central Plains, the first big exam is very meaningful. So there are still more than ten days, and the hotels in the capital are full of people. But people came to the capital early and prepared to go...
Others were busy preparing for the big exam, and Li Yunfei was also preparing for the big exam of life. If he passed it, he would go straight to becoming a saint. If he failed, he would lose his qualifications. Of course, Li Yunfei was still very sure about this 'upgrade'.
It is imperative to break through to Xiantian. In the past half a year, although I have not practiced deliberately, I have been nurturing Na Heshibi every day, but unexpectedly found that my strength has increased a little bit, and the most important thing is, Even if the cultivation base does not improve, the Wenyang He's Bi will not be able to continue. It seems that a higher level of true energy is required to continue the 'refining' of the He's Bi.
After breaking through the gate of time and space and stepping in, I found that the scenery in front of me has changed drastically, and it is no longer the original grassland. years, but it has been ten years here.
At this time, the speed of the Gate of Space-Time moving in this world does not seem to be too slow. Ten years later, it has already left the grassland with a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, but now it is in a valley where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant.
Given that the gate of time and space can be moved, Li Yunfei didn't dare to run around. It would be difficult if he couldn't find his way home, so after setting up various protective formations around him, he began to prepare for a breakthrough to innate things.
This time, there are two extraordinary pills and one chaotic crystal. The environment here is so good, if you can't break through, you can really dig a hole and bury yourself.
Surprisingly, after entering this world, He's Bi, which has been kept in his arms, started to glow and heat. Because of refining for a long time, Li Yunfei could sense what happened inside He's Bi, as if it was exchanging energy with the surrounding ones. He also refined it with the help of this aura.
"It's really strange. Could it be that jade can become fine and practice by oneself?" He took He's Bi and observed it carefully, but he really couldn't see any tricks, so he didn't care about it, but took the chaotic crystal.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened, He's Bi suddenly flew out and imprinted on the chaotic crystal, and the energy of the crystal was completely absorbed in a blink of an eye...
"Damn it, have you really become a spirit, and you still want to grab food?" Looking at He Shibi, who has regained his calm after absorbing the chaotic crystals, he is really depressed. If he absorbs the energy, he can grow some , that is barely acceptable, but absorbing the incomparably precious chaotic crystal, nothing happened, and the energy contained in He's Bi was not seen to increase, maybe the increase was too small to be felt.
Things have been like this, so I can only make complaints about it, and took out a Transcendent Pill, only to see that He's Bi began to glow and heat again, looking ready to move, and put it into the storage space in an instant.
Damn, if this supernatural pill is still taken away by this foodie, it will be a lot of trouble to break through the innate. It is quite tiring to refine such a top-quality supernatural pill.
