Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 730 Old but not dead is a thief!
"There are 120 seven people accepted in the assessment."

"Li Tian from Meng County, passed the assessment and ranked 120th!"

"Liu Xun from Dang County, passed the assessment and ranked 120th!"

"Steril County~~~~"

At the gate of the palace, the soldiers hung the list of those who passed the examination on two walls. A soldier who specially read out the military order raised his head and announced the list of those who passed the examination loudly. The voice became louder and louder. Around the palace, a large group of scholars gathered. They couldn't wait to squeeze forward, wanting to see if their names were among them. Some people probably heard their names and couldn't help cheering loudly. When he got up, he was immediately warned by the soldiers on the side.

The celebrities headed by Mr. Guo stood proudly at the front, looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

"Have you got in touch? Later, when he finishes preaching the list, we will directly submit a letter in public and ask for resignation. Just say that His Majesty despises the talents of Liang Guozhi. It is best to let these scholars also cheer for us."

"Don't worry, more than 80 people including princes and Zhang Gong have already agreed to us. There are so many people here, and there are so many scholars. Even if His Majesty gets angry, he may not be able to kill us."

Several old men said coldly, and Mr. Guo couldn't help but said: "Don't rush to the front later, let our disciples argue with the soldiers, these soldiers are unreasonable and reckless, we are old , so as not to lose face.”

Several people nodded one after another, and each agreed.

The soldiers above are still reading out those who have passed the assessment.

One after another, young scholars were called, and there were bursts of shouts from the crowd.

At this moment, Liu Chang was sitting in the palace with tea placed in front of him. Liu Hui, Li Zuoche, Ji Bu, Lu Lu and others were sitting beside him. Liu Hui looked at him worriedly and asked: " Boss, if they get into trouble, we can't kill them all, right now there are all scholars in this capital city, if you kill famous scholars in front of scholars, big things will happen, most of those scholars are young and hot-blooded , they are not afraid of death if they collectively use death as an admonition."

Liu Chang smiled, "Brother, don't worry, I'm still very patient with the juniors. Even those juniors in Chang'an, I also give them the right to think wildly. If such a powerful man, those juniors don't think about themselves It's not reasonable. Don't worry, I won't take action against these young people of Liang Guo, but those who use young people as swords and shields, hahaha, I will definitely make their lives worse than death! "

Li Zuoche said in a low voice: "Too many people have been eliminated in this assessment, even young people, I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied. If they lose the election, they will not feel that their talents are insufficient. be driven up"

Liu Chang shook his head, "You can rest assured that the people who passed the assessment were all selected by me personally. I have considered all aspects of talent, morality, and even their household registration."

"Residence??"

"Didn't you find out that the official hasn't repeated any county since he just read it?"

Ji Bu suddenly realized, "You purposely picked out available people in every county?"

"Not only that, but they are also the most famous in the counties. The young people who can lead others will not be unconvinced. You can rest assured."

Looking at Liu Chang's confident expression, Liu Hui couldn't help but shook his head, "It's only been a few days since the assessment, and you have arranged it so carefully. Sure enough, you are the most like father and brother in selecting and employing people. , no one can compare to you."

Liu Chang was displeased, "What do you mean by being like a father? How can my father know people? It's all based on Xiao Xiang's recommendation for him. He enjoys his success, how can he compare with me?"

As the number one black fan of Emperor Gao in the world, Liu Chang firmly opposes any act of advocating Emperor Gao.

In this case, only Liu Hui can take over. He said with a smile: "If the spirit of my father can hear your words, I have probably started to take off my shoes. After a hundred years, I will probably have to continue to apply medicine." Woolen cloth!"

The two brothers were joking and did not regard those ministers as outsiders.

With a straight face, Ji Bu reminded: "Your Majesty, the big event outside is not over yet."

Liu Chang put away his smile, became a little more serious, and then asked in a low voice: "Ji Bu, since I know you, I have never seen you laugh out loud, do you not know how to laugh? "

Ji Bu didn't answer him.

But at the moment outside, the rankings have come within a hundred, and the celebrities are still looking triumphant. The younger generations who have just been named are very happy, and they are running around to tell everyone that they have proved their strength and proved that Liang Guo is not without it. talented!
When the ranking was within one hundred, the celebrities stopped their necks and waited for their names.

Several celebrities said proudly: "Who is the most crowned person in this assessment?"

"Probably Cheng'an's Duke Zhang?"

"Hey, don't dare, dare not, how can I be crowned with all the sages first?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Liu is the most capable."

Just as he was talking, the soldier really read his name, but it was Mr. Tian from Suiyang who ranked 85th.

The celebrities couldn't help but sneered, but immediately, the soldier chanted the name of another young man. The celebrities seemed to not care about this ranking at all, and they looked very comfortable, but in their hearts, they wanted it more than anyone else. Everyone wants to take advantage of this to gain fame. You must know that if you win the championship this time, it will prove that this person's knowledge is the number one in Liang Guo.

But the progress of things is somewhat different from what they thought.

The more they read the list, the more disturbed their expressions became.

The eyes of Mr. Guo and others are full of panic, what happened?

It has already reached the top fifty, why are there still very few celebrities, but the number of young people is increasing?
"No. 11, Cheng An, Zhang Heng."

Hearing the soldier's reading, that Duke Zhang from Cheng'an's face changed drastically, his face turned red with anxiety, and he almost yelled at him. This Duke Zhang is a well-known old master Huang in the local area. He claims to have thousands of disciples. It is Liang Guo's famous great sage. Many celebrities think that he has the qualifications to win the championship. As a result, eleven?What's up with the top ten?Could it be that Fuchubo from Chang'an came to compete? !

"No.10, Suiyang, Liu Guang."

This is a great Confucianist. His ability to nourish Qi is not bad. He doesn't change his face directly like Mr. Zhang. What's the matter with the rankings? Could it be that they deliberately suppressed us?! How could this be? How could this be?!! It's not fair!!"

Before he could finish speaking, the top ten were also announced.

Except for the two of them, the people in front were all young people.

"The second sub, Zhuqiu, Xuanqiubao!"

"The champion! Suiyang! Han Anguo!!!"

The soldier read the first name with the highest voice, and the scholars cheered loudly, Han Anguo, who was standing in the crowd, was dumbfounded.

what happened?

I'm actually a crown? ?

At that moment, Han Anguo was not only not happy at all, he even almost cried. Could it be that what His Majesty said is true?Only not in Liang?Is Liang Guo's level really that bad?Even I can win the crown? ?

The celebrities were completely in an uproar. Mr. Guo, who failed the assessment, couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted angrily, "The assessment is unfair!! The assessment is unfair!! How can you humiliate us like this!?"

"We are not convinced! We want to write a letter!!"

They roared loudly, but the young people around them didn't shout with them like they usually do. They just looked at these celebrities quietly with weird eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird, and Mr. Guo's voice stopped abruptly.

His lips trembled, and he looked at Zhang Heng for help.

Zhang Heng snorted coldly, stepped forward, and asked loudly: "I'm ranked eleventh? Who is Han Anguo, come out and meet me!! Let me see how good you can write?! "

Before Han Anguo showed up, he heard the soldier say: "Your Majesty has ordered that the top [-] test papers will be posted on the side of the list later, so you can compare them yourself!!"

The celebrities did not give up. They did not believe that they would lose to those younger students. There must be something shady about this. When the examination papers are revealed later, let’s see what face they have. They must criticize the previous article as worthless! !

Just as they were getting ready, Liu Chang in the palace was also waiting for this good show to reach its climax.

Lu Lu asked: "Your Majesty, there are manipulations in this assessment, hang up the test paper, if they find the right opportunity"

"Hahaha, this operation is not maliciously suppressing their grades. My operation is on the right path. If it is an examination of knowledge, those celebrities still have something, so this time the assessment, the classics are only a small part, and most of them are policies. Those old guys are prejudiced against the new policies of the temple, how do they know these things? Besides, the off-site conditions are not conducive to these old men. I deliberately shortened the assessment time and arranged few meals for them "

Boil the old man, right?

Lu Lu's face darkened, "Is this the right way?"

"Everyone has the same assessment time, the same test papers, the same diet, and the same daily life. What's so unfair? The energy is not as good as that of young people. Isn't this also their own deficiency?!"

Liu Chang raised his chin, "They were the ones who didn't want to participate in the assessment at the beginning, and they wanted to instigate the younger students. It's no wonder I was there."

"There must be a commotion outside right now. The test papers will be released later, which will cause even bigger disturbances. Hahaha, those scholars are not stupid. After all, who is stronger, they can tell at a glance that this is not an empty test. , They are all things that really do practical things. If they are Confucian classics, they can still justify themselves. They are nothing in governing the country. However, this is not the highlight. When the time comes, let Han Anguo compare with them to see who is more knowledgeable."

Liu Chang grinned, "When Han Anguo defeats them face to face, hahaha, I really want to know what else those celebrities can do? Blame the venue, the food? Blame the exam questions?"

As Liu Chang expected, when the test papers were posted, the celebrities expressed great reluctance.

"What kind of headline article is this? It's so well written!!!"

Zhang Heng pointed to the article in front of him, his hands trembled, and he read it word by word. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Such ugly words!!!"

It’s not that Zhang Heng doesn’t want to scold, but this guy named Han Anguo writes really well, even if it’s Zhang Heng’s best part of Huang Lao’s Confucianism, what this young man writes is from the beginning to the end, and there is no way to refute it. To refute these is to refute his own knowledge. As for other things about the New Deal, he felt that what the other party said made sense after reading it. How can he refute it? ?Are the young people now really so strong? !

Not only Zhang Heng, but others stepped forward and looked at Han Anguo's test paper. For a moment, their words seemed to be blocked in their throats.

Only a certain Guo Sheng, who failed the assessment, became angry from embarrassment and scolded the article.

"Bullshit doesn't make sense! Shit doesn't make sense! Can this also be the first name?!"

"The assessment is unfair! This is simply a humiliation to us!"

"Unfair! Unfair!!"

He yelled angrily, but Zhang Heng looked at the No.2 article, I can't find the fault of the first one, can't I find the fault of the second?
The second young man named Xuan Qiubao is older than Han Anguo. This person is also a master of Huang Lao and Fa. He is not as good as Han Anguo in Confucian classics, but in other respects, he is more sophisticated and difficult to pick. When he made a mistake, he was standing not far away at the moment, listening to everyone's praise for him, shaking his head humbly, expressing that he was just lucky.The more he is like this, the more everyone admires him. This person has the style of an elder.

Zhang Heng still couldn't find any shortcomings, so he almost looked at the third article.

"Good article!"

Zhang Heng looked at the sixth article. For some reason, he didn’t seem to be very angry, “Grand Liu, take a look. This explanation is good. That’s great. Which one is Wang Yan? Let me have a look.” ! Your Huang Lao learned it well!"

Guo Sheng hastily tugged on his sleeve, "Mr. Zhang!! Why are you still boasting?"

Zhang Heng woke up startled, and quickly put on a straight face.

Although the famous scholars were aware of the gap, they were still unconvinced. They began to gather their disciples and told about the disadvantages of this assessment. Naturally, it was the same thing. His Majesty wanted to suppress the scholars of Liang Guo, so that's it. During the endless debate, Ji Bu came out, looked at the people in front of him, and said: "Your Majesty heard that some people are quite dissatisfied with the results of the assessment, especially the first name. Those who are dissatisfied can argue with them and prove their talents."

"However, everyone has seen the test papers, so it's better to let competent people come forward."

"I come!!!"

Guo Sheng couldn't help it immediately.

Ji Bu asked patiently, "What's it called? What's the ranking?"

Guo Sheng's face froze, "My assessment is unfair."

"Would you like to challenge for the top spot if you don't have a ranking??"

Ji Bu looked quite disdainful, he shook his head, "Forget it, I'll give you a chance to see how far you are from the number one."

Ji Bu asked the two to come forward, indicating that they could start.

Guo Sheng hurriedly asked about the classics. He wanted to use his best classics to defeat the other party. Han Anguo stepped forward reluctantly. He really didn't want to make a fool of himself, but he had no choice but to use To answer with his insignificant ability, in order to avoid being ridiculed, he also deliberately used the principles of Confucianism, Huang-Lao, Legalism, Mohism, farming, and famous schools to explain and dialectize. It’s just a round, Guo I was stunned when I was born, my mind was buzzing, and I couldn't understand anything.

Seeing him stepping off the stage in a daze, the juniors suddenly cheered loudly.

Guo Sheng, who was walking down the stage, suddenly trembled when he heard the laughter and cheers, looked at the people around him in disbelief, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted on the spot.

The celebrities became a little panicked, and their eyes quickly locked on Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng just wanted to scold people at the moment.

Who the hell taught this? ?Let him go!I've lived for so long, and even Huang Lao didn't study it thoroughly, and the guy who opened his mouth is knowledge from a hundred schools of thought, who can stand it? ?

But at this moment, facing the eyes of those celebrities, Zhang Heng could not choose to back down, and the young people in the distance were also eager to try. A certain atmosphere of confrontation between young and old had been created in the arena, and they all stood by Han Anguo.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath, forced a smile, and walked onto the stage.

"An Guo? I've heard about your reputation a long time ago. You are really a great talent. You are a young man at this age, but you have already achieved this level of knowledge. Even if you look at the world, there is no one who can compare with you."

As soon as Zhang Heng came up, he put a hat on Han Anguo. Of course, Han Anguo should be stronger, so he won't be ashamed if he loses to him.

However, when Han Anguo heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and refuted.

"You have praised me for not having much talent, but I am a middle-aged man. I have studied for many years, but I am still not enough to be called learned. If it is not because of my hometown, I don't want to participate in this assessment. I will go to Qi State to study. Alas, Unexpectedly, I won the first place and my knowledge is still far behind."

Zhang Heng's face turned dark immediately.

Why are you so humble at this time? !
When the debate officially started, Zhang Heng lasted longer than Guo Sheng. However, it was only a long time. When Han Anguo answered his question and then started to ask back, Zhang Heng gave in and couldn't answer.

The juniors cheered again, this time, their laughter became unscrupulous.

The celebrities immediately became more anxious. They looked around, and finally they all looked at Mr. Tian, ​​"Mr. Tian! Yes, he is your disciple! You go! He must not dare to beat you!!"

Mr. Tian was stunned for a moment, recalling the interrogation of these years, he said in horror: "I won't go!! I'd rather be a Li Zheng! I won't argue with him!!"

The celebrities went to two more, but they were quickly defeated.

Whether it is policy, culture, or even military, Nongsang, they failed to win.

By this time, Ji Bu was furious.

"Okay! You people dare to deceive the king!!"

"If you don't have talent yourself, you don't allow other people to participate in the assessment. Your Majesty thought that Liang Guo had no talents. It turned out that it was because you leaders have ruined the reputation of Liang Guo!!"

"Don't respect the old! Don't die when you are old!!"

"What face do you have to be a teacher?!"
