“Since Master Sun has spoken, what should we do now that His Highness has changed the location? All our plans these past few days have been ruined.”An elderly man wearing a square scarf asked.“Master Hua is absolutely right. What should we do next? You need to explain,” someone else chimed in.Sun Yuanzhi sneered, “The messenger from the Prince of Qi just said the outing will be by the Xiaoqing River, near the lotus pond. Every year, many people from Qingzhou City go there to enjoy the scenery. There’s also a small grove nearby. Tonight, we’ll hide our men there. When the Prince of Qi arrives tomorrow…”“Hearing this, I think our chances are better outside the city. After all, we haven’t managed to sneak many of our private soldiers into the city these past few days,” another person said.“Exactly. Outside the city, I can mobilize all of the Sun family’s private soldiers. Combined with the men you all send, we’ll have over a thousand men. By then, the Prince of Qi won’t be able to e

“Exactly. With peach blossom petals stuck to his shoes, he must have lingered outside the main hall. That’s why I suspected he would go out to report tonight. I didn’t expect to be right,” Li San said, glaring fiercely at Kui Zi.“Commander, you’re truly wise. It’s no wonder His Highness chose you from among all the servants. Unlike this guy, who can only do sneaky, underhanded things,” one of the men flattered.Li San’s face showed a hint of pride, and he gave the man an appreciative look. “If we’re talking about wisdom and valor, that would be our His Highness. Now I finally understand. His Highness endured humiliation in Qingzhou all these years just so he could wipe out these powerful families in one fell swoop today.”“Exactly. He endured for five years, only revealing his brilliance now. His Highness’s patience is truly remarkable,” another man said.Then someone else added, “With a prince like this, who knows? Maybe His Highness has a chance in the struggle for the throne…”The

At dawn, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the morning clouds and shone on the oil-paper windows of the Prince of Qi’s residence. The servants in the residence were already bustling about.Xiao Ming, who had barely slept all night, rose early. Li San was busy arranging the servants who would accompany Xiao Ming to the banquet.For a spring outing, a prince naturally had to bring many servants. Among these servants, Li San had secretly placed numerous secret guards. In addition to Lu Fei’s thirty elite soldiers, there were over twenty secret guards disguised as servants to ensure Xiao Ming’s safety.The Prince of Qi’s residence appeared calm, but Lu Fei and Pang Yukun were already hard at work. The Qingzhou army had left the city the previous night and ambushed in the grove.Lu Fei was also planning how to ensure the Qingzhou cavalry could quickly come to their aid. Ancient battles were akin to street brawls, often lasting a long time.As long as Xiao Ming wasn’t immediately c

“Sun Yuanzhi has conspired to assassinate the Prince of Qi! Anyone involved will be executed without mercy!”Li San shouted at the top of his lungs. The servants who had suddenly turned violent were actually secret guards disguised as assassins.In an instant, most of the powerful families who had conspired with Sun Yuanzhi were either dead or injured. Sun Yuanzhi himself was forced to retreat under the relentless assault of the secret guards.However, the private soldiers from the Sun family, charging out of the grove, quickly closed the distance, forcing the secret guards to temporarily withdraw to protect Xiao Ming.Sun Yuanzhi laughed maniacally. “Xiao Ming, you’re truly a fool. Even though you knew this was a trap, you still came. Since you delivered yourself to me, don’t blame me for what happens next.”“If I hadn’t come, how would you traitors have revealed yourselves? Everyone knows the principle of ‘capture the leader to defeat the rebels.’ Now, let’s see whose side fate is o

“I hope Commandant Lu is safe!”Thinking of the past grievances with Lu Fei, which were all matters from Xiao Ming’s previous life, but in recent days, Lu Fei has indeed been the only reliable person in the army.“Your Highness, there’s no need to worry. Back in the day, Commandant Lu could move freely even amidst the thousands of barbarian troops. These ragtag militias are no match for him,” Pang Yukun said without a hint of concern.As they spoke, the Qingzhou Army had already engaged in close combat with the Sun family’s militia.The initially disorganized Qingzhou Army quickly formed into a neat square formation amidst the chaos.The front row consisted of swordsmen and shield bearers, followed by spearmen, and the last row was again swordsmen and shield bearers.“Kill!” With a loud shout from the Qingzhou Army, a row of spears thrust out from behind the shield wall, immediately felling a row of the Sun family’s militia charging forward.“Kill!” The spears retracted, the shield be

A spring breeze carrying a hint of warmth blew past, causing the leaves to rustle softly.If not for the current scene, this would have been a picturesque spring landscape.“I do not need the support of the nobility, nor does the Great Yu Empire. The history shaped by the nobility over thousands of years should now be written by the countless common people of the land.”Xiao Ming’s impassioned voice rang out. In his eyes, Sun Yuanzhi saw mockery, the same disdain they had shown toward the lowly commoners.“How dare you…” Sun Yuanzhi could not believe that Xiao Ming would treat the nobility this way.Since ancient times, local nobility had always been the target of royal courts’ efforts to win over. Yet, this Prince of Qi was doing the exact opposite. It was precisely because of this that even Wang Chengchou had not anticipated Xiao Ming would so decisively eliminate the Wang family, leading to his own demise.Pang Yukun and Lu Fei cast admiring glances at Xiao Ming. It was precisely b

“Hehe, Medical Officer Sun, just listen to His Highness. The current His Highness is truly knowledgeable and talented,” Lu Fei, lying on the bed, chuckled.Medical Officer Sun frowned. “A physician’s heart is benevolent; how can we act recklessly? If Your Highness cannot provide a reason, this old man dare not use such methods.”This put Xiao Ming in a difficult position. The principle of alcohol disinfection couldn’t be explained clearly with words alone; it required experiments to prove. Fresh meat contained antibiotics, which could prevent inflammation to some extent. However, while Xiao Ming understood these things, he couldn’t convince Medical Officer Sun with mere words.Medical Officer Sun was a stubborn man, highly confident in his medical skills, and always scornful of unorthodox methods.Xiao Ming said, “In that case, Medical Officer Sun, why not follow my instructions?”“A human life cannot be treated so carelessly,” Medical Officer Sun frowned.Lu Fei interjected, “Since y

“Isn’t it obvious? Different categories mean different things to do after graduation,” Scholar Du said matter-of-factly.“That’s why it’s strange. The sages taught us that studying is for self-cultivation, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. It’s about becoming a high-ranking official and serving the nation and its people. If that’s the case, why does the Bowen Academy need so many categories? The classics, history, philosophy, and literature should suffice,” one scholar argued.“I disagree. I think the Bowen Academy is different from private schools. Scholars don’t have to focus solely on passing the imperial exams. They can do other things too,” another scholar countered.“Brother Su, are you saying you won’t take the imperial exams anymore?” Scholar Du asked a scholar wearing patched clothes.Scholar Su nodded. “I take the imperial exams every year, and every year I fail. My family is getting poorer, and I can’t even afford the travel expenses for the exams anym

Governor’s Mansion.Pang Yukun was reviewing reports submitted from various prefectures.The Sun family’s militia had been annihilated, and the next day, at the eastern market of Qingzhou, all participants in the incident were publicly executed. The crowd that gathered to witness the event was so large that the execution ground was completely packed. People came to see this extraordinary event with their own eyes.Having been oppressed by the nobility for many years, the common folk now saw the downfall of the noble clans. When Sun Yuanzhi was brought to the execution ground, countless people threw stones and rotten vegetables at him, a clear reflection of the deep resentment the people held against the oppression they had endured.However, while Xiao Ming was now recuperating from his injuries, Pang Yukun found no time to rest. On one hand, he had to deal with the problem of the noble families’ dependents, and on the other, there was the matter of the Bowen Academy.After assigning t

“You’re talking about Zhan Xingchang, the Sima of Qingzhou?”Xiao Ming had some impression of this person. He had been recommended by Pang Yukun and later appointed as the Sima in the Qingzhou government office.The position of Sima in the Great Yu Empire was relatively minor, roughly equivalent to a modern-day city mayor’s secretary.“Yes, yes, I think his name is Zhan Xingchang,” Medical Officer Sun seemed to recall.Currently, among Xiao Ming’s advisors, Pang Yukun was his top civil official, Lu Fei his top military officer, and Li Kaiyuan his top merchant. Beyond these, he truly lacked capable individuals.In the past, when he hadn’t been involved in governance, he hadn’t noticed this. But now that he needed capable people, he found himself short-handed.Although Pang Yukun was competent, his abilities were limited. He couldn’t handle everything.Moreover, Pang Yukun excelled in logistics. He was adept at managing horse administration, agricultural production, and infrastructure c
