After Zhu Tianfeng finished speaking what Zhu Cixiang meant, Wu Sanmei's eyebrows were already twisted into a ball.
Before any score, everyone is equal!
There are 11 daughters in the Zheng family, and all of them have done well in the exams. Most of the first place will be named Zheng!
Moreover, Emperor Zhu did not allow the crown prince to have a concubine at the same time, which meant that if Wu Ahuan failed to pass the exam, she would not even have a chance to become a concubine!
Isn’t this bullying the Wu family’s daughter who can’t take the exam?
Wu Sanmei snorted, gritted her silver teeth and said, "It must be the vixen named Zheng who is causing trouble!"
She didn't dare to scold Zhu Cixiang. Not only did she not dare to scold him, she didn't even dare to argue with Zhu Cixiang. She didn't even dare to inquire about it herself, so she asked her daughter to inquire about it.
Zhu Tianfeng knew that her mother was afraid of her husband, so when she saw her father, she would be so obedient! Ask her to do the east, ask her to do the west, and never dare to give Emperor Zhu a look.
And she also knew that Zhu Cixiang had big ideas, which Zheng Chagu could not control at all. Moreover, Zheng Chagu was not favored much in Zhu Cixiang's harem.
The one who is really favored now is Mary Mancini, and there is also Ajige, who is always being punished. He looks very pitiful, but in fact he is also favored... Hitting is affection, scolding is love!
However, the status of these two people is shaky, because Princess Nisha from Tianzhu is also very likely to become the emperor's new favorite.
This princess of Tianzhu is quite good at seducing people. Before she arrived, she had already seduced half of Emperor Zhu’s soul. It turned out that after Princess Nisha arrived in the Ming Dynasty, she suffered from illness due to fatigue from the journey and acclimatization. He fell down and was recuperating in Shaoguan for several months, and now he has just set off to the north.
However, while she was recuperating in Shaoguan, she did not forget to hook up with Zhu Cixiang. Not only did she have her portrait sent to Zhu Cixiang, but she also wrote love poems and love letters to Zhu Cixiang every day. The writing was not very good at first, and the handwriting was ugly. But progress has been rapid, and now she writes love poems that even the talented Xu Erlin admires her talent...
"Mother," Zhu Tianfeng looked at his mother's angry look and whispered, "Father has big ideas, and it is difficult to change things that have been finalized. However, it is not certain that any of the eleven sisters of the Zheng family can win the leadership, because My daughter discovered that there were many talented girls among the girls who took the exam, and at least twenty or thirty of them were equally talented and learned. Who can pass the exam depends on their performance."
Wu Sanmei snorted: "There is also a martial arts competition! There are many talented women in the south of the Yangtze River, but most of them are good at literature but not martial arts. Even if they have learned a little, they can't compare with those girls from the Zheng family. After all, the Zheng family is a family of generals!
Moreover, your father attaches great importance to wealth and skills. The Zheng family are all born profiteers. How can the daughters of those scholar-bureaucrats compare? "
"Queen mother, there are also several daughters from the Shen family in Chongming," Zhu Tianfeng said, "and the daughters from the Zuo family in Laiyang... all of them are very capable."
Shen Tingyang's background is similar to Zheng Zhilong's. His son is also married to a scholar-bureaucrat from Jiangnan, and he also has many granddaughters who are top students.
As for the Laiyang Zuo family (Zuo Maodi's family), they are even more powerful. Not only are they the richest man in Shandong, but they are also a high-ranking official, a family of imperial examinations, and the backbone of the Northern People's Party. Of course, they must prepare for the Jinling Women's University with all their strength!
"So what?" Wu Sanmei's face still looked unhappy, "The Shen family of Chongming and the Zuo family of Laiyang are outsiders after all... A'ke can't choose, and A Huan can't choose, what should Feng do? Son, you must find a way for me."
"This..." Zhu Tianfeng looked at her mother's anxious look and became anxious too. She is a filial daughter! How can you not be in a hurry?
"Mother," her brain was working well and she already had an idea, "Let's wait... wait until my uncle returns from Hanzhong in triumph and ask him to talk to his father. He can always help Ah Huan." If you fight for a side concubine, you might even be able to win the main concubine."
"Can you really win the title of concubine?" Wu Sanmei was a little unsure, "Isn't there no exam?"
"How is it possible not to take the exam?" Zhu Tianfeng shook his head, "Mother, my father is establishing an ancestral system for future generations of the Ming Dynasty!"
Wu Sanmei asked: "Then how could Ah Huan pass the exam?"
Zhu Tianfeng whispered: "As long as you review carefully, it will be possible... If the father can give the child some hints, the child will be able to do something."
This time, the entrance exam questions for Jinling Women's University were written by Zhu Cixiang himself...
Wu Sanmei already understood, and she sighed: "It seems that this is the best we can do! But swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and your uncle is too careless..."
Now the victory in the battle of Lueyang is unpredictable!
It’s hard to say whether Wu Sangui will return victoriously or return to the imperial court in victory or be shrouded in horse leather!
"Mother," Zhu Tianfeng whispered, "if anything happens to my uncle, my father will have to appease the martyrs and heroes... Therefore, it is best to delay the selection of candidates for the female university.
Moreover, my daughter can also use this time to give Ake and Ahuan some extra lessons. "
"But how can we delay this matter?" Wu Sanmei still asked her daughter for advice.
"The Queen Mother can write a note to Uncle Six and I will take it to him." Zhu Tianfeng said, "Uncle Six is resourceful and she is a female boss, so she will definitely find a way."
"That's right," Wu Sanmei said, "this kid Cibing is obedient and will definitely help me."
Zhu Tianfeng's idea is quite useful. Zhu Cibing is indeed from Wu Sanmei's side. When Zheng Zhilong and others calculated the strength of the northern and southern parties, they forgot to include the Ming Dynasty king represented by Zhu Cibing.
These people are now free from the trap and can participate in politics and serve as officials openly and honestly!
As soon as Zhu Cibing took action, he really moved the matter back - his method was very simple, that is, he suggested that Princess Nisha also take the exam. Of course, Princess Nisha was not a direct subject of the Ming Emperor and could not become the crown prince or the official concubine of the vassal kings. Her taking the exam will not affect the selection of the crown princess, but it can satisfy the vanity of Princess Nesa and Zhu Cixiang.
In addition, it can also highlight the strong friendship between the Ming Empire and the Timur Empire of Tianzhu!
Emperor Zhu, who was being pursued by a fair and beautiful Indian princess, would certainly not refuse this suggestion. Moreover, the war in southern Shaanxi is tense now, and Emperor Zhu is not in the mood to preside over the women's college examination!
But it's hard to say whether Wu Sangui will return to Wuhan upright or lying down.
...
The city above and below the Xiangshan Fortress was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The battle has reached this point, and the coaches of both sides understand that they are playing with their heartbeats and holding back their last breath.
For Li Dingguo, he has already smelled a familiar smell - this is a unique smell before failure! The many battles that took place between Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui all started at the same time, had the same midfield, and ended at the same time.
Every time I look like I'm about to win, I'm always just one breath away from being able to kill Wu Sangui. Do you think I'm angry or not?
The situation is similar this time. How well did the siege of Lueyangqian go? You can use the teaching materials of Yunnan Martial Arts Hall. But when they reached Lueyang, Li Dingguo gathered more than 80,000 people, all of them elite soldiers, and they couldn't capture it!
Lueyang City could not be conquered, but Wu Sangui's reinforcements had already arrived. Now Feihuling, Malingguan and Sanhekou (the key points on the Qishan Road northwest of Lueyang) were all attacked by the Ming army. Only with the strength of the defenders sent by Li Dingguo, the reinforcements were blocked.
However, Li Dingguo's army continued to fight for too long, and everyone already knew that Hanzhong was full of dangers, so morale began to decline. Coupled with the constant fierce fighting during this period, the troops suffered more and more casualties, and they were really unable to fight.
The reason why Li Dingguo refused to give up now was because he learned from the prisoners that there was not much food in Lueyang City and there were many people eating. Therefore, he planned to run out of rations for the defenders!
But now it's already March, why does Wu Sangui still have military rations? The Battle of Lueyang started in early February. It has been almost a month since the battle. Why hasn't Wu Sangui starved to death yet?
Not only did they not starve to death, but the defenders were still very strong!
"Why didn't you rush forward? Wu Sangui is really good at defending the city..."
Li Dingguo held up his binoculars and saw that his soldiers were once again driven off the fortress at the top of Xiangshan Mountain. He was already a little discouraged.
At this moment, his eldest son Li Puxing led a group of people and escorted a few people with bruises and swollen faces down the mountain. When he saw Li Dingguo, he shouted loudly: "Ada, Ada, um, you figured out what that thief Wu Sangui is eating!"
