Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Eyes... familiar?"

"Yes, take a closer look."

"Hey, my disciple remembers. I think the exit of the secret road when we made a big fuss in Pyongyang City was nearby! However, Yuan Nanjian will be unprepared if he eats a pit and learns his wisdom?"

"Of course that's impossible." Guo Ye said, "I've checked, and there's nothing unusual about the exit. But the entrance will definitely be strictly guarded."

"Then how should we use this secret passage?"

"It's very simple..." Guo Ye squeezed his fist and said, "Isn't it enough to kill all the guards at the entrance?"

"Then don't you have to enter the city?"

"Of course. Everyone, take a good rest today. I will bring Qin Ying, Kong Kong'er, and Jing Jing'er into the city in disguise, and wait for the opportunity to kill all the soldiers guarding the entrance. Then I will take you into the city secretly."

Xu Zhenjie said: "Duke Qin, please forgive a certain family's blunt words. Isn't your plan a little too childish?"

"How do you say this?"

"Let's not say that you don't even know how many soldiers are guarding, whether the four of you can deal with it. Taking a step back, even if you are superb in martial arts, you can really succeed immediately. But the problem is, how can you kill so many people? Can it be kept secret?"

He sighed, and continued: "You don't like to hear something, if the Goguryeo people are so promising, why should we send out a hundred thousand troops? Send some people to Pyongyang City to make trouble? Kill all those high-ranking officials , Goguryeo is over."

Guo Ye laughed loudly and said, "Captain Xu, that's what you don't know. The four of us are not the only ones who did it. There is a saying that no one in the court should rebel, have you heard it?"

"You mean...in Pyongyang, there are our internal agents?"

"It's not just an internal response, but also a high-ranking official. With his cooperation, taking Pyongyang is really like finding something out of a pocket! Yuan Nanjian, I want to give you a big surprise!"

Guo Ye and others dressed up as one master and three servants, and swaggered into Pyongyang without any hindrance.

What needs to be explained is that the "master" among these four people is not Guo Ye, but the evil Taoist Qin Ying who is known as the "blood-sucking Taoist".

As for Guo Ye, he not only had to pretend to be a slave, but also painted his face black.

There is no way, Guo Ye has shown his face in this city, and there are too many people who know him.Yang Fengyi, a master of disguise, was not by his side, and if he didn't keep a low profile, the consequences would be unimaginable if he was recognized by others.

Familiar with the road, without much effort, everyone has arrived in front of the original Rongliu Palace.

Unlike what they imagined, this place has not become a military important place.But it was built as a place like a posthouse, people in Confucian shirts came in and out, and it was very lively.

Looking up, there is also a huge plaque with gold characters on a black background hanging high - Jixian Pavilion.

As soon as Guo Ye showed signs of color, Qin Ying took a few steps forward, cupped his hands at the doorman, and said, "This little brother invites you."

"It's easy to say, easy to say. What's the matter with you, old man?"

"It's like this. I'm a merchant from Baekje. I just arrived at Guibao Land today, and I want to find an inn to stay. Your place is like an inn for business, and it's like a post for the imperial court, but I don't know what it is Where is it?"

The guy pointed to his head and said: "Did you see the words on it - Jixian Hall. Ours is the post office of the imperial court."

"Oh, so that's the case, I'm taking the liberty." Qin Ying looked disappointed, and said without words: "Then these people wearing Confucian shirts are all officials of the imperial court?"

"Of course not. In fact, this is the case. Since our current king took the throne, he has been seeking talents..."

Having said that, he suddenly remained silent.Qin Ying understood, handed over a golden bean and said, "I'll buy you a bag of tea with this money."

The guy said: "In order to seek talents, the old man of the country mainly has two measures. One is to follow the example of the Tang Dynasty and spread the imperial examination."

"Wait." Qin Ying said: "You Goguryeo and our Baekje, didn't you all obtain scholars through romantic education? How can you hold the imperial examination? Can the nobles in the court agree?"

"Hey, what nobleman? There used to be five major clans in Goguryeo, but now they are all killed and left, leaving only the Yuan family and the Sun family. The Yuan family is the surname of the country, so naturally they don't have to worry about their career as an official. Sun’s family is gone, he can’t stand alone, he dares to stab? Besides..."

The guy lowered his voice, and said: "What kind of romantic education? The last two Yuanhuas are Yang Fengyi and Jiang Yumei. Both of them have become the slaves of Tang Guoye. The newest Yuanhua has not been selected yet. I Look, it's time for the Merry School to disband."

"So that's the case. Then what is the second act of seeking talents?"

"Of course it is our Jixian Hall. People who think they have a little literary talent but have not passed the imperial examination can come to our Jixian Hall to try their luck."

"Happy luck?"

"When you enter our Jixian Hall, you will not only have free food and lodging, but you will also be able to participate in the selection of officials by the imperial court. Of course, high-ranking officials should not think about it. But the eighth and ninth grade officials still have a good chance."

Qin Ying is knowledgeable and talented, and he knows what the so-called "Jixian Pavilion" means as soon as he hears it.Without it, it is also possible to buy people's hearts.

Yuan Nan's position was not right, although he temporarily stabilized his position by relying on big kills.But it is not a problem to always rely on high pressure to maintain the rule, so the imperial examination was opened.

The purpose is the same as that of His Majesty Li Er, "the heroes of the world enter my nest".

Anyone who passed the imperial examinations would turn from his opponents into his natural supporters.greatly consolidated his rule.

However, this is still not very safe.There are always those people whose hearts are higher than the sky and their lives are thinner than paper.

He is not very capable, and he can't pass the imperial examination at all, but he thinks he has the talents of the world.If the imperial court does not use him, it means that the treacherous officials are in power, and the ruler of the country is incompetent, so he must be resolutely overthrown.

This is a very unstable factor.

Therefore, there is a collection of leisure halls.

Of course, if you can't even enter the leisure hall, with that little ability, even if you rebel, you won't be able to cause any disturbances, and you won't be worthy of Yuan Nanjian's win over.

Thinking that she has a very detailed understanding of Jixian Hall, Qin Ying cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for your enlightenment!"

He was about to turn around and leave, but the guy grabbed his sleeve and said: "Guest officer, don't go."

Qin Ying's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "What's the matter? Your Jixian Hall also has the function of arresting and handling cases?"

"Then how could it be?" The man smiled brightly and said, "Even if we really catch the case, we can't catch a serious businessman like you."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Actually, that's what happened." The guy pointed at the door and said, "Don't you want to stay in an inn? Wouldn't it be fine to just stay in our hotel?"

Qin Ying said hesitantly: "Me? I'm a businessman from Baekje, how can I be qualified to enter this Jixianguan? Besides, even if I'm from Goguryeo, I have to take an exam to get in, right? Anyone can't just go into Baekje. Eating and drinking for nothing?"

"Of course not just anybody can get in. But are you just anybody?"

"Me? I just have two bad money..."

"If you have money, you will succeed, and if you have money, you will succeed." The guy smiled all over his face, and said: "In the eyes of our buddies, if you have money, you have talent, and you are eligible to enter this Jixian Hall."

He swallowed, stretched out his hand, and said, "How about five hundred Wen a day?"

It would be great to be able to get close to the entrance of the secret passage for less than a penny.But this price is a bit high for ordinary businessmen.

Qin Ying took a step back and said, "Five hundred Wen? So expensive?"
