Chapter 278 Why don’t you try it too?
"Are there any troop movements in the western part of Beixiang?"

Yunshu recalled the map she had seen before. To the west of Beixiang was the Qiang Kingdom.

The Qiang State was not very powerful, but it had a good geographical location. The border with Beixiang was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, although there were constant frictions between the two countries over the past hundred years, they never really fought a war.

Now Beixiang suddenly secretly dispatched troops to the border area near the Qiang State... Could it be that a war is about to begin?

He turned the secret folder in his hand over and over again to check that there was no hidden layer or content that required some other means to see.

It really only talked about the mobilization of troops.
Yun Shu curled his lips and put down the letter:

"Father, are you just letting me guess?"

"For a country's secrets like troop movements, spies often cannot obtain specific information and can only send back fragments like this.

But even just a few words, if analyzed correctly, may play a crucial role at certain moments.”

Emperor Xuanwu patiently taught:

"As the crown prince, you will inevitably receive many secret reports like this in the future.
Judge whether this news is true or false. If it is true, what does it mean? Will it affect Tiansheng? And how to deal with it afterwards?

These are things you need to learn.”

Ah...are we starting to make things difficult for her?
Yun Shu grabbed the upgraded version of the quill pen in his hand, which had been carefully processed and decorated, and the small tuft of hair at the end, and tried to analyze it bit by bit according to his own understanding:
"There are several possibilities for mobilizing troops.

The first is that the conflict between Beixiang and Qiang State intensifies and war may break out in the future, so Beixiang must mobilize troops in advance and prepare for a full-scale attack.

The second is internal strife. The King of Beixiang has many heirs. It is said that all of his sons are ambitious, and it is possible that one of them secretly raised private soldiers and wanted to rebel.

But since the secret report did not mention the scale of the troop mobilization, it was not necessarily just for the purpose of starting a war. There might be other things that needed the army to do.
For example...suppressing bandits, for example...discovering a large mineral vein and needing people to guard it,
For example, just like we sent troops to Qiongzhou to train the navy, they also planned to train a separate team.

Or maybe...some disaster happened, and people need to be rescued or the city needs to be sealed off..."

"Ah."

Emperor Xuanwu nodded slightly:
"So, what possibilities do you think we need to pay more attention to and think of countermeasures in advance?"

"Well..."

I analyzed what I just said one by one again.
Yun Shu finished a day's class in the Imperial Study Room seriously. He remembered that tomorrow was the day when Tiansheng College would officially start recruiting students.

Before she left, she specially asked Emperor Xuanwu for a day off.

In this regard, Emperor Xuanwu said:

"Remember to bring that kid Lao Liu with you tomorrow!"

"If Sixth Prince knew that you had offered to let him rest for a day, he would be so happy."

Yun Shu looked at Emperor Xuanwu in surprise.
The latter snorted unhappily:
"I didn't let him go out to play, I wanted him to see how difficult it is for children from ordinary families to go to school!

After you finish reading, stay in the upper study room and don't always think of excuses to go out and play."

"The content taught at Tiansheng College is different from that taught in the study room."

Yun Shu joked:
"Aren't you afraid that after a visit there, he will like the courses at Tiansheng College and will be even less willing to stay in the upper study room?"

"Then let him go." Emperor Xuanwu was not panicked at all:
"Anyway, I don't expect him to play any role in the court in the future.
The reason why he was asked to stay in the study was simply because we didn't want him to grow up to be a lazy and useless person.

Since what you teach at Tiansheng College are all useful things, if he likes something, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to learn more."

"Father said so."

Yun Shu laughed:

"I will have someone inform Sixth Prince and Master Ye right away. Master Ye feels a little regretful that he cannot personally witness the grand ceremony of the academy's enrollment."

……

Because Yunshu only asked for leave from the Imperial Study, he still had to attend the morning court.
So the next day, after she finished her court and changed her clothes, she left the palace with Yun Chuhuan and went to the Beijing branch of Tiansheng College.
Enrollment has officially begun.

Fortunately, everything went as Yun Shu expected. With her sudden article yesterday, the eldest prince and his men had no time to make any more tricks and could only hastily cancel the original plan.

There is no one in the academy today who is deliberately causing trouble.

Occasionally, one or two people would appear who wanted to cause trouble because they did not meet the requirements. Before the imperial guards that Yun Shu had arranged in advance could take action,

The people who came to register nearby quickly pressed it down.
He was afraid that if he was a step slower, the news would get to Yunshu's ears and he would lose this good benefit.

Yun Chuhuan followed Yun Shu and saw with his own eyes that a guy who wanted to cause trouble had just shouted and was immediately covered by four or five hands on his mouth. He was dragged away from Tiansheng College in a neat and tidy manner. He was shocked.

He stared at the long line outside in amazement and could not help but swallow his saliva silently:

“These people are really working hard to get their children into school!

But with so many people, not all of them can enter the academy, right?"

“There is an entrance test.”

Yun Shu responded casually, and suddenly turned his head to look at Yun Chuhuan:

"Why don't you try it yourself?"

"I?"

He finally had a day off and didn't have to stay in the study room, but he ended up having to study when he came out to play.

Is he crazy?
Yun Chuhuan subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But when the words came to my lips, I suddenly remembered that these tests were all given to ordinary children who probably couldn't even read a single word.

Although he didn't like studying, he had spent several years in the study.

If he also took part in that so-called test, wouldn't he easily beat everyone else?
As Yun Chuhuan imagined that he could attract the admiring and envious looks of everyone around him just by writing a few words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise:

"Just test it!"

"Which one do you want to test first?"

It was really because some of the emotions on this kid's face were too obvious. As soon as he raised his tail, Yun Shu could immediately guess what he was imagining.

She deliberately didn't tell him that this test might not be what he imagined, and just raised her eyebrows playfully.
