The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"I don't know..." The four of them replied, it was natural for them to pretend to be stupid, after all they were also worried that Liu Tao would anger them.

"In that case, the four of you will follow me into the palace..." The little official didn't worry too much, after all, something had been expected, and he just motioned them to get in the car and led them into the palace.

"Only two ran away..." Liu Tao was a little surprised when he heard the report, "It's okay, I thought we'd just keep one or two."

Chapter 501 Jinshi and the Sixth Person

The final list of the three rankings has already been sent to Liu Tao after confirmation. Of the more than 500 people, there were only six Jinshi and ranks in the end, which is indeed a bit depressing. The population under my own rule is not too large, but it is impossible that there are only six Jinshi and ranks, right?

Then I looked at the list, No.1 Fazheng... Meow, I forgot about this big cow before;

No.2 is from Ma Da in Changsha County. Seriously, the name made him think of something else at first.Thinking about it later, it was the same, who knows about motors besides him these days.

Looking at his hometown again, Ma Da, a native of Linxiang in Changsha County, Jin Yiwei reported that he had a Hanoi accent.At this point, Liu Tao already knew who this guy was. Sima Fang, who followed Sun Jian to Changsha, had his second son, Sima Yi, whose nickname was Zhongda.

It may also be several other brothers. After all, Sima Bada, the eight brothers all have the word "Da" in their watch characters.

Sima Yi has also been cleansed in history, after all, he was Wei Chen until his death.Sima Shi and Sima Zhao didn't have clues at the beginning, but they were still Wei Chen until their death, and it was not until Sima Zhao's son Sima Yan usurped the throne.

If Cao Cao can be whitewashed, then Sima Yi, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao can also be whitewashed!

Wait, I seem to be used to whitewashing... I don't think it's strange when I think about it. After all, Lu Bu and Cao Cao are both under his command. One kills the father and the other is a hero. Suddenly, it is acceptable to add Sima Yi!

Sun Kuang, wait a minute, how old is this kid? No.3, you really didn't release the water? !

It is necessary to send someone to call the examiner over and ask about Sun Kuang.It turned out that Sun Kuang's test paper had been delivered, and the examiners seemed to have expected it.

After carefully reviewing and confirming, there are probably two things to be sure:

The first is that Sun Kuang is 11 years old this year (imaginary age). He is the fourth son of Sun Jian, Sun Quan is 14 years old this year, and Sun Yi is 12 years old this year. He was born after Sun Yi.

The second is that Sun Kuang was not interested in martial arts since he was a child, but he was interested in reading books. He started at the age of six and spent only three years reading all the books in his family. He also invited his husband to complete his elementary school.

Those who have been here for more than half a year have read a lot in the library and go to night school at night. Simply put, they are a top student.It's just that the writing style is immature and lack of knowledge, and the angle of answering the question is very suitable for Liu Tao's thinking. The examiners discussed it and rated him No.3.

"It's no wonder they die young. Those who are smart from childhood often don't live long..." Liu Tao sighed.

Just like Cao Chong, who was loved by Cao Cao the most. He was intelligent and benevolent since he was a child. Unfortunately, he died at the age of 13 (empty).Considering that Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi were all adults at that time, his death may not be artificial.

After all, Cao Pi has a record of causing Cao Zhang to "suddenly die of sudden illness" and a bad record of almost killing Cao Zhi.It doesn't feel so strange to kill another Cao Chong.

I just don't know if Sun Kuang has been feared by anyone in history, the biggest possibility is Sun Quan.

Liu Tao suddenly thought at this moment that Sun Ce died at the age of 26 (false age), and this year he was 16 (false age), exactly ten years old.And Sun Kuang died at the age of 20. If he was real, he should have died in the year of Sun Ce's death.

In the year of Sun Ce's death, Marquis Wucheng belonged to Sun Kuang. It is said that if he succeeds, it should be Sun Kuang instead of Sun Quan.Meow, I feel like I suddenly discovered a historical truth...

But if he were Sun Quan, a younger brother who is a top student and has the status of Wu Chenghou is indeed his biggest threat.Don't say that Sun Ce gave up his position to him on his deathbed. Who can prove this?History is written like that, so it’s not worth mentioning!

Before seeing Sun Quan succeeding to the throne, Zhou Yu didn't care about him, and he was at ease as his governor, and he didn't listen to the announcement.Obviously, Sun Quan's status as heir was not recognized, but Sun Yi and Sun Kuang had both passed away at that time, Sun Shao was still young, and Sun Lang was a concubine, so there was really no choice.

Continue to read, and the remaining three did not follow Sima Yi's use of pseudonyms, Zhuge Jin and Gu Yong, all of whom he had planned to conquer.

Of course, now that the imperial examination has started, he will not engage in such things as recruiting someone specifically.I used to ignore him, but now I still want to wait to be expropriated. This is because I want to eat peaches!

Just considering that Zhuge Xuan was appointed by Liu Biao, and he was considered to be a member of the King of Chu, but Zhuge Jin used the native place of Wu County, which is worth pondering.On the contrary, Gu Yong himself is from Wu County, so his native place is naturally Wu County.

"Is it sent by King Wu, or came here by himself?" Liu Tao sighed. If it was the former, then he might not be able to stay. He came to talk about the inside story of the imperial examination, and then left directly.

After thinking about it, he finally called the old father-in-law, who was at the pinnacle of his life as a member of Zhongshushe, and told the news of his disciple's arrival.The latter understood, and ran to find Gu Yong that night to 'reminisce about the old days'.

The last one is one of his own, but Liu Tao did not expect that he could pass the imperial examination, and that is Huang Zhong's son——Huang Xu.

I was bedridden all the time before, so I couldn't practice martial arts. It is said that I read books.It got better later, I was in my teens, not suitable for practicing martial arts, I maintained some exercise to keep my body healthy, and I spent more time reading books.

All in all, since Huang Zhong took refuge in himself, he has also read books for several years, and he has learned a lot of knowledge about politics and law from several scribes, and it is normal for him to be a Jinshi.

The most important thing is that this kid has good skills in picking up girls, and he is already a childhood sweetheart with Lu Wen, the daughter of Lu Bu's family.Although I don't know if there will be a descendant from the sky in the future, I just feel that the two have stabilized.

The marriage of Lu Bu and Huang Zhong is already a certainty in the eyes of many people.

For Liu Tao, the marriage of the two is also beneficial. Lu Bu is the leader of the Bingzhou Army, and Huang Zhong is his own diehard because of his kindness.The two are married, and Lu Bu's lineage has brought him closer.

Of the six Jinshi and the first degree, at least three came from other forces.In the second list, he also saw Sima Fu, who did not hide his identity, and there were more than a dozen others whose identities were doubtful.

Liu Tao felt that these people should not be able to keep them. This time, only one or two people may participate in the palace examination.Unexpectedly, Fazheng and Gu Yong stayed in the end. Counting Sun Kuang and Huang Xu, they managed to get the No. [-], No. [-] and Tanhua all together.

"Students pay homage to Your Majesty!" When they came to the main hall and saw Liu Tao, the four of them saluted solemnly. After today, even if the four of them were Liu Tao's disciples, it was reasonable for them to call themselves "students".

"Well, no courtesy!" Liu Tao nodded, "This time the imperial examination, the four of you will finally come to the imperial examination. It is said that the top three will be ranked first, second and third, but this year is special, I allow the third No.4 to tie Tanhua!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The four of them responded one after another. They also knew this rule, and at the same time, they were also worried that if they got No.4 in the exam, others would enjoy the glory, and they would be alone. That would be a bit depressing indeed.

At the same time, he glanced at Liu Tao cautiously, and he was not supercilious, and he was mainly amazed at his youth.Less than 30 years old, such an emperor is full of passion and energy, and at the same time has left the age of reckless impulsiveness.

This country, under the rule of such an emperor, is destined to grow stronger unless there are some major mistakes!

They can come to participate in the palace examination, they naturally intend to become an official here, develop well, and strive for the top.

Judging from the current situation, his prospects should be very good.

"Now, start the palace test!" Liu Tao looked at the four of them, motioning for them to take a seat, "The palace test is a policy discussion, and the topic is..."

Chapter 502 Palace Examination Questions

Earlier, he had given a question to the scholars of the scientific examination, that is 'loyalty'.

The purpose of this question is to ask these candidates what is loyalty, who is your loyalty to, and who should you be loyal to.Be loyal to yourself, to your family, to the court, or to your nation.

This question is very open, and there is no fixed answer. The key is to see a person's vision, reading volume and general three views.

The superficial ones will probably sing praises, and then express their allegiance to the big man.Those who are a little bit more knowledgeable will probably quote "eating the king's reward, being loyal to the king, and worrying about the king's worries" to answer.

This time, I won't take this test, or questions like 'Nationality' and 'Family, Country, and World'. After all, the answers of these four people's strategies are not up to his satisfaction standard, and it would be meaningless to ask similar questions.

To be honest, I don't know if it's because people in this era have too low a vision, or because they are constantly trying to figure out their own ideas in order to get a high score in the exam.The final answer was far from what he really thought.

"The title is 'The World'." Liu Tao looked at the four of them, "I'll give you some hints. What I see with my eyes is wider than you imagine. What I want to know is that your eyes can see How far."

The title is actually 'The World'?The four of them were taken aback when they heard the words, thinking about it, Liu Tao has already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, so it is impossible to be satisfied by guarding the three states all the time.Vision, of course, is the world.

To unify the thirteen states in the world, but according to what he just said, the goal is obviously not just the thirteen states...

Could it be that His Majesty intends to reopen the Western Regions?Many people have such thoughts. After all, after the opening of the Silk Road in the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty, they did make a lot of money through trade along the Silk Road.At the same time, many special products from the Hu people's countries in the Western Regions were also passed on through the Western Regions.

For example, carrots that have recently become increasingly important and have begun to improve varieties and grow in large quantities.

It's just that from Jiuquan to the west and into the Western Regions, there are basically thousands of miles of yellow sand, and it is very difficult to supply supplies.In other words, the cost of the expedition is very high.It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made expeditions to Dawan several times in order to obtain Dawan Liangju.
