The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Chapter 322 No one can escape

The matter should have ended here, but someone insisted on making trouble. Li Ze gritted his teeth and spoke,

"All the men's students have gone to work, so I'm sure the women's students won't stay in the Imperial College to enjoy themselves, right?"

Li Ze stared at Jiang Tunan hatefully.

"Especially Miss Jiang. Judging from her actions just now, Miss Jiang should be very experienced in farming. Maybe we will ask you for advice later."

In fact, Li Ze's words were equivalent to pushing out all the people in the girls' school, but because Li Ze concentrated most of the conflicts on Jiang Tunan, the best way now was for Jiang Tunan to admit defeat and then let the matter go. After all, which girl wants to go to the fields to be exposed to the sun and do those rough work?

Baili Quan smiled but said nothing, and had no intention of interrupting. He just wanted to see how Jiang Tunan would respond.

But before Jiang Tunan opened her mouth, her two cousins ​​stood up first. The first to speak was Xiao Mingxu.

"Li Ze, don't force her. Xiao Nannan is already in poor health, and you're still letting her suffer. What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Mingrui saluted the emperor before speaking.

"Your Majesty, my sister has been weak since she was young. When she first arrived in Kyoto, she had to see a doctor almost every day. If she really goes with us to open up the land, I'm afraid her body won't be able to handle it."

Baili Quan looked at Xiao Mingrui meaningfully, then smiled and said,

"I didn't ask her to go, why are you two so nervous?"

After saying this, Baili Quan looked at Li Ze.

"As a man, why do you want to involve women in everything? This is really unmanly of you."

Li Ze was so embarrassed by what the emperor said that he could only lower his head and admit his fault.

"It is my student's narrow-mindedness. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Baili Hong snorted beside him.

"Some girls are just spoiled. My cousin is a girl from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she's never been so pretentious."

It would have been fine if Baili Hong hadn't opened his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth he started to speak in a sarcastic tone, and he even dragged Su Xiaoxiao into it to put him down. Jiang Tunan didn't tolerate this either, and started to speak in a sarcastic tone in front of the emperor.

"Of course, I can't compare to Miss Su. Some time ago, I heard that Miss Su II opened a stall to give out porridge. Many people went there. I was going to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau that day, but the roads there were blocked. I think Miss Su II is the one who truly cares about the people and can mobilize their enthusiasm. Mine is nothing at all."

"Well, if that's the case, Miss Su should be very willing to help. After all, Miss Su is not squeamish and has endless energy. After distributing porridge, she also found time to visit the Imperial Medical Bureau to see the successor of the Nine Yang Needles. By the way, if it weren't for Miss Su, the secret book of the Nine Yang Needles would not have been discovered until now."

Jiang Tunan blinked mischievously, and everyone in the Imperial Academy suddenly realized something. They had only heard before that the secret book of the Nine Needles of Huiyang had been found, but they didn't know it was found by Su Xiaoxiao. And the previous incident of distributing porridge had caused quite a stir, but they didn't expect it was also caused by Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao's face turned pale. Her grandfather had asked her to keep a low profile during this period, so she had never dared to show up in front of the emperor. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tunan pulled her out directly.

Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to look to Baili Hong for help. The Prime Minister's Mansion had covered up the news in order to get Su Xiaoxiao out. Now that Jiang Tunan had said it out in public, wouldn't all the efforts of the Prime Minister's Mansion before have been in vain?

"I didn't know that Miss Su had done so many good things behind the scenes."

Baili Quan emphasized the word "good deed". Actually, he knew about the Nine Needles of Rejuvenating Yang. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Xiaoxiao's actions, for the sake of Prime Minister Su and Baili Hesong's appropriate plea, he did not pursue the matter too much. He did not expect that the previous porridge distribution was also her idea.

He was also very puzzled when he heard about this. The government had not yet started distributing grain, but someone was distributing porridge in such a high-profile manner, which made him, as the emperor, seem to be doing a very bad job.

"Jiang Tunan, what are you talking about!"

Baili Hong was a little anxious, fearing that Baili Quan would embarrass Su Xiaoxiao in public today, so he changed the subject and said,

"Father, I think what Li Ze said is not completely unreasonable. The Imperial College will also hold a Hundred Flowers Festival competition, and one of the topics is folk songs. It seems that Xiyun Academy has drawn this topic. Why not let them go together? It will also give them some inspiration for the competition."

"Otherwise it would be too unfair to them. These are things they have never come into contact with normally."

Everyone at Xiyunyuan: Are you okay?

Shangguan Ruoyi held her breath, but she didn't have the courage to speak in front of the emperor like Jiang Tunan, so she could only worry in her heart.

"Your Majesty, I think the eldest prince's suggestion is very good. This is a rare learning opportunity. However, how can our Xiyun Academy monopolize this opportunity? So why don't we all go together!"

Jiang Tunan responded with a smile,

"We are all exposed to court music and opera music, but we rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with military music and folk songs. Why not take this opportunity to conduct military training in the wild? On the one hand, it can improve everyone's physical fitness, and on the other hand, it can superficially deter those people around who want to cause trouble."

Jiang Tunan: Come on, let’s hurt each other!

Baili Quan narrowed his eyes, as if he had heard something interesting.

"Military training? What is military training?"

Jiang Tunan smiled defiantly.

"I have read in an ancient book that some schools in some regions will have military training after recruiting new students every year. However, it is not as intense as in the military camp. They simply line up in a square formation, stand at attention, march in step, and finally compare which square formation is more orderly."

Baili Quan's eyes lit up, he had never heard of this before, and he remembered that the Dayin delegation had proposed a military simulation competition at this International Assembly, but the contestants were not formal soldiers, so Baili Quan had been troubled by who would participate in the competition.

If soldiers are called upon to fight, winning or losing is guaranteed, but if they win they will certainly be accused of winning unfairly. However, if some people who are not from the military camp are sent, not to mention the problem of uneven levels, even the degree of coordination will not be up to the requirements, and losing the game will be even more embarrassing.

Jiang Tunan's suggestion undoubtedly solved the emperor's worries, so Baili Quan liked Jiang Tunan more and more. However, he couldn't agree too straightforwardly at the moment, so he pretended to be in deep thought.

"Very good, it's rare that you have such an ingenious idea. It just so happens that the Great Yin Envoy proposed a military simulation competition. I was still considering the candidates for the competition. After all, many people want to participate in such an event to win glory for the country."

The crowd, who were originally somewhat dissatisfied, quieted down after hearing Baili Quan's words and waited for Baili Quan's next words.

"However, I have seen all the students in the Imperial College today. They are all outstanding. I believe that after this period of military training, it should not be a problem for them to win the game. Otherwise, you will fight in the match?"

Although Baili Quan spoke in a negotiating tone, in fact, he had already made the decision. Everyone was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter in their hearts.

For the children of aristocratic families, the record of having fought against the Dayin people may not be a big deal, at most it is just icing on the cake in their glorious life chapter. But for people like Meiyuan and Juyuan who come from humble backgrounds, if they defeat the Dayin people, they may be able to open a page in the family tree after returning to the village. After all, most people in Daxing have already engraved the fight against the Dayin people into their bones and blood.

Looking at the expressions of the young people around him, Baili Quan knew that the matter was settled. After thinking for a while, Baili Quan added to Jiang Tunan,

"I will give you a right to participate in the planning of this military training. Do it well for me. I will see the results when the time comes."

Baili Quan didn't really rely on Jiang Tunan to do something, but he was a little curious about Jiang Tunan. From the beginning to now, every action of this person could make him feel a little surprised.

Baili Quan took off a token from his waist and threw it to Jiang Tunan.

"With this token, it is as if I am here in person, and you can move freely in the palace. I want you to come and report to me regularly."

In fact, this is also a disguised way of protecting Jiang Tunan. The military training was proposed by Jiang Tunan. Although most people seem to be willing to undergo the military training, there is no guarantee that there will be no one who holds a grudge against Jiang Tunan because of this.

After all, he had made use of Jiang Tunan, and giving him this token was a favor he had returned. If he had to give a reason for Baili Quan to keep Jiang Tunan, it might be because of those eyes that looked so much like Su Rou.

During this period, Baili Quan always thought about the past, his first meeting with Su Rou in the peach blossom forest, their carefree past, and also...the quarrel between them.

Sometimes he wondered if the outcome would have been different if he had been willing to bow his head, or if he had not been so stubborn.

Although Baili Yanchu is Su Rou's child, except for the similar face, there is no similarity between her and Su Rou. Many times when Baili Quan was with his little daughter, Su Rou's words would always ring in his ears in a trance.

[I was born free, but this huge palace has trapped me forever. You asked me why I changed. If an eagle that should have soared into the sky is raised as a canary, then it can never turn back into an eagle.]

Baili Quan would just laugh at himself every time, thinking that he had taken too good care of Baili Yanchu. Until he saw Jiang Tunan, although only their eyes looked alike, his whole demeanor and personality were very much like the teenage Su Rou, which always made him dazed for a long time.

If people can be reincarnated, maybe Jiang Tunan is Su Rou's reincarnation?

"Father?"

Baili Hong spoke carefully to call back Baili Hong's thoughts, but because Baili Quan kept staring at Jiang Tunan, the atmosphere became a little strange.

"what happened?"

Baili Quan realized his gaffe and quickly shifted his gaze.

"Father, how can you give the token to Jiang Tunan? After all, it is not appropriate for a woman like her to hold this token."

Xiao Mingrui also stepped forward and said,

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation of my sister. However, this token is too valuable. My sister is still young and I am afraid she cannot bear this honor. Please take it back, Your Majesty."

For some reason, the look in the emperor's eyes when he looked at Jiang Tunan just now made Xiao Mingrui feel very uncomfortable. As a result, the emperor gave the token to Jiang Tunan the next moment, which undoubtedly pushed Jiang Tunan to the forefront.

Xiao Mingrui understood the emperor's intention. He might want to protect Jiang Tunan, but this unique thought brought more disasters, especially since the emperor was in public just now...

"Your Majesty, in the military camp, there are corporals, decurions, and centurions. Although our military training cannot be compared with that of a real military camp, there should be a similar person to play a connecting role. It may be more appropriate to hand the token to this person. I am a humble student, but I would like to recommend myself to Your Majesty."

Meng Jingchen bowed to the emperor. What he said made sense and was equivalent to giving Baili Quan a way out. Baili Quan had no reason to disagree, but out of the dignity of the emperor, he still spoke up.

"Then I will appoint you as the captain of the men's courtyard..."

Seeing this, Jiang Tunan quickly stuffed the token into Meng Jingchen's hand.

"It's up to you, brother."

Meng Jingchen was a little bit at a loss for words because of Jiang Tunan's action. After he came to his senses, he laughed secretly. She was really rude to pass on this hot potato to him so quickly.

"Then Jiang Tunan will be the captain of the women's academy."

Everyone:? ? ?

"what?"

Jiang Tunan spoke blankly, and his silly look actually made Baili Quan find it a little funny. He was thinking that if he and Su Rou raised their daughter together, maybe she would be like Jiang Tunan.

"What I mean is that both men and women must go to military training. By then, there will be women in the Dayin Mission. Do you want to lose to the Dayin people?"

This sentence was so intimidating that the dissatisfaction of everyone in the women's courtyard was immediately suppressed.

"From now on, the two captains will perform your duties well and supervise everyone."

Baili Quan left in a happy mood. He had been so busy during this period. He didn't expect that these little bastards in the Imperial Academy would have so much free time as to quarrel over whether to farm or not. He had been unhappy for a long time, and today he finally got his revenge.

After Baili Quan left, the three princes did not leave. They still had to continue their afternoon classes. Baili Hao originally wanted to find Meng Jingchen to congratulate him, but he did not expect Meng Jingchen to react so quickly and immediately took the position of captain of the men's academy. However, as soon as he walked over, he saw Meng Jingchen walking towards Jiang Tunan.

Baili Hao:?

Jiang Tunan stood there in a daze. Things did not develop as she had imagined. Why was the emperor so easy to talk to? If she had known this would happen, she should have asked the emperor for some salary.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at coming up with bad ideas."

Meng Jingchen suddenly appeared behind Jiang Tunan, swinging the lanyard on the token in his hand.

"Thank you for such a straightforward compliment."

Jiang Tunan replied unhappily, would Meng Jingchen come here at this time to add insult to injury?

"It's all your fault, Jiang Tunan! Now everyone is suffering because of you!"
