I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 455

Chapter 455

After Meng Chen's words fell, Pang Tong smiled helplessly, but he still couldn't hide anything from Meng Chen.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is Zhuge Liang." Pang Tongtong replied in a stern manner.

"A virtuous person does not avoid relatives, and father and son fight in battle. Since Zhuge Liang intends to serve the Great Xia Empire, I am very pleased."

Seeing that Meng Chen had said that, Pang Tong hastily saluted and thanked him.

Originally Pang Tong thought that Meng Chen would not agree, but now it seems that he still underestimated Meng Chen's heart.

Just as Pang Tong was seated, Jia Xu stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Zhang Fei arrived in Chang'an a few days ago, did you?"

The meaning of this sentence is obvious. Over the past few years, Anbu has paid close attention to the movements of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

Zhang Fei's arrival in Chang'an obviously had his own purpose.

"Oh? Brother Yide arrived in Chang'an, this is a great joy." Meng Chen had a look of joy on his face.

Originally, he no longer had any hope for Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, but unexpectedly, there was a turning point.

After being silent for a long while, Meng Chen felt that he should take this opportunity to expand the scope of the recruitment order?
"Well, since that's the case, I intend to expand the scope of the recruitment order, what do you think about it?" Meng Chen said after thinking for a while.

"Your Majesty, I think we should set up a recruiting office and appoint officials to take care of this matter." Wei Zheng immediately agreed.

"The minister seconded the proposal, but there should be multiple officials instead of one." Liu Bowen stood up and agreed, but offered other plans.

After a pause, Liu Bowen continued: "Your Majesty often says that 360 lines lead to the number one scholar, and the officials arranged by the recruitment hall should include all walks of life."

"This method is feasible. Although not everyone can meet my requirements, it is enough to put the right people in the right positions." Meng Chen's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Your Majesty, will the policy of promoting filial piety and honesty be adopted in the previous dynasty?" Xun Yu took it up and got to the point in one sentence.

Hearing the words, Meng Chen laughed, he did not expect that the matter that he ignored would be brought up today.

"Since the founding of the country, the court has been busy appeasing the people and developing the economy, so it has indeed neglected this matter." Meng Chen smiled helplessly.

"If Wen Ruo raised this matter today, let's discuss it."

After a pause, Meng Chen said: "I don't think it's reliable to promote Xiaolian."

As soon as the words fell, Wei Zheng was the first to take over: "What your majesty said is very true. The foundation of the founding of the Great Xia lies in returning the land to the people. In terms of education, your majesty has always insisted that poor students have books to read, so the filial piety The policy of honesty is not in line with the basic national policy of our dynasty."

"In the past three years, countless schools have been built in various states and counties, but they are still not enough. The Chang'an Academy built by His Majesty has trained many low-level officials for the court. Therefore, I suggest holding a unified examination to select them level by level."

After saying these two sentences, Wei Zheng's dark complexion was a little excited, and it was obvious that this matter had been deliberated for a long time.

"Senior!" Jia Xu was the first to speak out.

"The selection step by step is too complicated. I suggest that only two levels of states, counties and courts can be established." Liu Bowen opened his mouth, and Meng Chen couldn't stop nodding when he heard his words.

"All states and counties hold selections every autumn, and the court will conduct selections in the spring of the following year. The first person selected can be directly accepted by the court."

Liu Bowen's suggestion is obviously more specific than Wei Zheng's.

When Liu Bowen's words fell, Li Cunxiao stood up fiercely and said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that literature and martial arts go hand in hand."

Hearing the opinions of several people, Meng Chen was delighted. These suggestions are almost the same as the imperial examination system.

"I am very pleased to hear what you dear friends said. However, the selection of the imperial court is not a child's play, and it needs to be considered from many aspects."

"I feel that the two-level selection is tentatively decided, and the civil and military parallel strategy. How to do it, the two prime ministers have worked hard to discuss the process."

"Here!" Liu Bowen and Wei Zheng got up and agreed, and the matter was settled.

After lunch, the crowd dispersed, and Meng Chen, accompanied by Meng Shan, Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao, searched for the address provided by Anbu.

"Brother Cunxiao, can this fly really be used by me?" Inside the carriage, Meng Chen asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, judging from the situation under Anbu's control, Zhang Fei most likely wants to become an official." Li Cunxiao said one thing, he was very clear about Meng Chen's mood at the moment.

"I have no idea. The more I want to lose something, the more I am afraid of losing it!" Meng Chen laughed at himself.

Since today is a micro-service travel, so stop and go along the way.

There is no way, although Chang'an City is expanding every year, it still cannot completely alleviate the traffic problem.

Lifting up the curtain, Meng Chen felt a sense of pride in his heart as he looked at the scene of heavy traffic outside the carriage.

Meng Chen is happy to see the growing strength of the Great Xia Empire, but Meng Chen hopes that he can do more for the sake of future generations.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of an inn. Meng Chen had just jumped out of the carriage, and the people from Anbu who had been waiting for a long time came up immediately.

"I've seen my son, Zhang Fei is drinking in the room!"

Meng Chen nodded after hearing the words, and then followed the Anbu people towards Zhang Fei's temporary residence.

"Dong dong dong!" Zhang Fei, who was drinking, frowned at the sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" Zhang Fei asked warily.

"Brother Yide is visiting, why should you be so nervous." A familiar voice sounded, and Zhang Fei suddenly recovered.

With a creak, the door was quickly opened, and a dark head poked out, looking at the person standing at the door in a trance.

"Why, Brother Yide doesn't welcome us?" Meng Chen said with a smile.

And Li Cunxiao behind him also hastily added: "Hey, it's a pity these jars of fine wine."

"Uh..." Zhang Fei didn't know how to answer, but his body subconsciously gave way.

Meng Chen sneaked in, and the room was already filled with empty wine jars. It seemed that Zhang Fei came to Chang'an and threw himself into a struggle.

"Grassman Zhang Fei pays his respects..." Meng Chen stopped Zhang Fei before he finished speaking.

"I heard that brother Yide is here, so I came here today to meet friends and prepare a few jars of fine wine. Don't see outsiders when you go to brother Yide."

"This... Hey, it's my old Zhang who thinks too much!"

"Hahaha, brother Yide should have been like this a long time ago, and he wouldn't be hiding here alone drinking!" Li Cunxiao laughed loudly and walked in with a wine jar in one hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei didn't insist anymore, he let go of the distracting thoughts in his heart, and had a drink with Meng Chen and Li Cunxiao.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Meng Chen went straight to the topic and said, "It won't be long before the army will go west, brother Yide, would you like to help?"

Hearing this, tears glistened in Zhang Fei's eyes. In the past few years, he has been traveling in various states and counties, and what he has seen and heard has already defined Meng Chen as a generation of Mingjun.

"Thanks to His Majesty for not giving up, the grassroots are willing to do the work of dogs and horses!"

"Hahaha, good! good! good! With brother Yide's help, it should be clear."
