They all want to hug my thighs
Chapter 69 Li Si!The pioneer who voluntarily jumped into the pit!
The next day, His Majesty announced the marriage between King Li and Xiao Weiyang, and they will be married as soon as possible on a good and auspicious day.
Although it wasn't a big deal, it made the courtiers a little confused. What's going on?
Zhao She was overwhelmed by the imperial edict of bestowing marriage.
King Li... King Li thanked His Majesty in great joy. He accepted the imperial decree, went home, packed himself up, and fell in love with Yang.
Longyang Jun was a little unbelievable when he received the imperial decree sent to him by King Li'an. He is one of the rare people who has awakened all his memories so far. He is very happy to be able to continue his relationship with King Wei Li'an, but he did not expect , His Majesty is a strange person today!
Well, did the emperor really decree marriage for them this week? !
"Your Majesty gave us a marriage, is there no objection in the court?" Yang asked King Li in disbelief.
King Li smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhao said that it is not good for husband and wife to work in the same department. In order to avoid suspicion, I was transferred to logistics management."
No, that's not what he meant. Falling in love with a man violates the ethics of yin and yang. How did Emperor Zhou manage to shut up his courtiers?
"Your Majesty didn't tell the courtiers to shut up?" King Li said blankly: "Your Majesty said that he will be promoted to the top ten great men of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After that, everyone focused on discussing how to be promoted."
Even if someone wanted to impeach a man for being unreasonable in marriage, Zhou Fu blocked this part of the voice of opposition on the grounds that he was moved by King Li's affection.
What do you care about other people's affairs?Quickly turn your attention back, the Great Week Ten Best campaign is underway with gongs and drums!
When Zhou Fu announced the news, all the courtiers looked like cats who saw a small fish, their eyes glowed, and their ears were pricked up to listen attentively to what His Majesty said that the ten great awards represented respectively. what meanings.
Zhou Fu looked around at the courtiers who were engrossed, and found that there were still a few uninterested cats in a daze, how could this be possible?The first ten-best selection of the Great Week must be grand and lively, and it is best for all the people to participate!
It would be even better if it can stimulate a wave of economy.
Zhou Fu cleared his throat and started to create momentum.
"Your gentlemen, I think I haven't understood the meaning behind the top ten," Zhou Fu said to everyone, "You know, the top ten selected today not only represent your personal honor, but also concern the entire Zhou Dynasty. Good development?"
Sure enough, hearing what Zhou Fu said, Qu Yuan and other senior ministers who were originally dismissive of these false reputations all concentrated their energy.
Just listen to Zhou Fu's eloquence: "The so-called top ten is not only an honor, but also an example! Let the whole world know how good you are, and drive people all over the world to yearn for and emulate you, which is the most important meaning behind it. , and the great men who are elected must set an example, dare to be pioneers, be a template for the people of the world, and work for the welfare of the people!"
Of course, the ideological transformation and economic changes that will be behind this are unspeakable. Facts will prove that the people of Dazhou, who are poor in spiritual food, are happy to talk about topics that can be talked about for a long time at the dinner table. rise.
"The next ten-best selection process will be discussed by the Ministry of Education and will be handed over to the various ministries for implementation. After that, people who are best at writing and ink will be arranged to write biographies for the top ten," Zhou Fu saw that everyone was concentrating, and the next thing to do A new round of work is scheduled.
Let's talk about the planning of the first commercial street in Dazhou, the preparations for the martial arts after the imperial examination, and the arrangements for internships in various departments after that.
The morning court was going on in chattering discussions like a vegetable market again, and Zhou Fu guided the rhythm, which made everyone fall into a kind of: bear hardships and stand hard work, work hard!Good days ahead await you in high spirits.
The most important thing after these things, and the most imminent thing, is the next palace examination. Emperor Zhou said: "I tentatively arrange the palace examination in seven days, and the results of each department should be reported in these two days. The Ministry of Industry has not finished the exam, and the Ministry of Industry has more content in the exam this time, and the number of people included can also be increased. In the future, the Ministry of Industry will take the lead in this big week of hard projects."
Zhou Fu said this to Wang Mang. Now that Wang Mang is following Zhou Fu, he has tasted the sweetness. Although his power is gone, his status among the people is rising steadily. Now even a three-year-old child who walks outside knows him name.
"I will do my best to live up to your Majesty's expectations." Wang Mang was full of motivation, and he was eager to try. He knew that following His Majesty would have meat to eat, and following His Majesty's ups and downs in his life would be recorded in the annals of history.Maybe thousands of years later, people will mention him as an ancestor with admiration and reverence, which makes Wang Mang, who has a good reputation and good face, feel like he is going to float every time he thinks about it.
In the history of China, Wang Mang endured his fame for most of his life for the sake of the supreme throne and power. Now the throne is definitely hopeless. Given him ten guts, he would not dare to face up to Emperor Zhou. The desire for power is hopeless. On the contrary, vanity has been greatly satisfied.
Wang Mang thought of his eldest daughter who was still suffering in Zhou Huangling, and now his second daughter's marriage was soaring because of his reputation, but his most beloved eldest daughter lived alone in Zhou Huangling. Wang Mang raised a new dream, he wanted to repair A wide and flat road shortens the distance from Zhou Wangdu to Zhou Huangling, so that he can help and take care of his hard-working eldest daughter in the future.
After all, it was all the old woman's fault!
After the implementation of the top ten, Da Zhou has been popular for a while to chase stars. For example, Mr. Wang, who has made great contributions to Da Zhou, has been fixed on the board. The pens used by Mr. Wang, the ink used by Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang worked late at night The lamp oil used, the books that Mr. Wang has read, the restaurants that Mr. Wang likes to eat...
This is different from the kind of star chasing that dandies pursue after ladies in brothels. Mr. Wang is a "male god" in a high position. He can only watch from a distance and not play around. Which panties do adults like to wear?
Who the hell would know that when the people His Majesty invited to write their biographies, they would praise them to the sky?Not only that, the plot is ups and downs, the story is fascinating, and Wang Mang himself was moved to tears. He never knew that he encountered so much pain and suffering when he was building roads?
After he became really famous, Wang Mang regretted it, his guts were green with regret!But what can he do?Now that he has the fame and reputation that he has been pursuing wholeheartedly, what is there for him to be dissatisfied with?
Wait, what are you trying to do?I don't take concubines, I don't want to fill in the house, don't tear my clothes, help!
Under the exaggerated and exaggerated publicity of the Top Ten, Mr. Wang, the "male god" who has attracted the attention of the whole city, no longer dares to go out alone.
At this time, Mr. Wang had no idea what kind of pit was waiting for him. Today, he finally heard His Majesty's proposal to officially start the selection of the top ten. It was as if Mr. Wang had been injected with chicken blood. Let's call "Your Majesty!"
Zhou Fu didn't know about the change in Wang Mang's heart, but the assessment by the Ministry of Industry was carried out this afternoon.
The Ministry of Industry is an organization that mainly builds major projects. In addition to recruiting more skilled craftsmen, it also needs engineers and scientific research personnel. Therefore, the recruitment requirements of the Ministry of Industry are not only theoretical knowledge, but if the person has a special invention It is enough to prove its ability, and it can even be directly appointed as an official.
The Ministry of Industry selected a group of outstanding talents. In addition to Zheng Guo, who has a thorough knowledge of water conservancy theory, there is also a man named Li Bing. In Chinese history, he is a famous water conservancy expert. He recruited migrant workers Many water conservancy projects were built in the Minjiang River Basin, among which the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, which he and his son presided over the construction, is the most famous.For thousands of years, this project has laid a solid foundation for the Chengdu Plain to become the Land of Abundance.
And Zheng Guo’s famous name is well-known to every household. During the Warring States Period of China, Zheng Guo was sent by Han Wang to Qin State to build water conservancy works, thereby “tiring Qin”. good name.There is also a person named Zhang Zhan who has unique insights into reclaiming rice fields and planting rice.
What this espionage activity did actually strengthened the enemy. Is Zheng Guo's attribute a beckoning cat?
In addition, there is another person named Taishan, who is Taishan who has eyes but does not know Taishan!
Taishan's superb skills can turn dead wood into magic and make excellent woodworking furniture.How could a woodworking craftsman stand out in the assessment by the Ministry of Industry?
Because he made something never before seen!Stone mill!Before this, Wang Mang had obtained the sample draft of the stone mill from His Majesty. He can guarantee that the sample draft is in his hands, and those craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry who are studying the sample draft have not yet made a complete finished product.But Taishan, he fiddled with the stone mill, without a sample!
The venue for the craft assessment is relatively open, allowing those who come to take the artisan division examination to flex their muscles to their heart's content. However, Taishan, who looks dull and stupid, was not favored at first.
"What did this stupid guy do?" The people next to him snickered at his clumsy hands and feet.
"I didn't expect that such a person would enter the third round," someone shook his head dissatisfied.
"Isn't this stupid guy giving up on himself because he can't do something good?" Even the examiner noticed it and whispered to his colleagues next to him
"Look at his cylinder, what the hell, no one wants it even if it's sold," the colleague shook his head.
Wang Mang was patrolling the examination room, and accidentally noticed the movement here. It was the third round, and the ones left after the screening were all elites. How could anyone fool the examination?
The servant of the Ministry of Industry saw their Shangshu Wang approaching to see Taishan's works, his face suddenly changed, and his heart skipped a beat: "My lord, what's wrong?"
"Hey, who taught you how to make this stone mill?" Wang Mang turned pale with shock, and asked Tai Shandao eagerly.
"Does your lord know that this is a stone mill?" Taishan scratched the back of his head, and smiled honestly: "This is something created by the student's teacher, Gong Shuban, and then taught it to the students. The teacher asked me to make it during the exam. .”
"Your teacher is Gongshuban?" Wang Mang asked in surprise, "But that famous carpenter among the people?"
"The teacher heard that His Majesty was going to grant official positions to the craftsmen, so he asked the students to try it," Taishan said.
After that, Wang Mang found Zhou Fu, told him about Taishan, and pulled out a big fish behind him! - Luban!
The originator of architecture in Chinese history, the originator of carpenters, invented cutting and measuring tools such as saws, axes, curved rulers, and ink fountains. He made umbrellas, stone mills, and ladders!
And he invented so many things with only one purpose, to benefit the common people.
Zhou Fu didn't expect that just after he worked out the blueprint of the stone mill with the knowledge in his mind, the owner of the invention would appear. This made Zhou Fu a little cautious, but more of a great joy. Order people to inquire about Lu Ban's movements. If this master can be invited to the Ministry of Industry to guide, the hands-on ability and invention and creativity of the entire Ministry of Industry and Craftsmanship will be improved to a higher level!
The third exam gradually came to an end after Zhou Fu sent someone to ask Master Lu Ban to come out of the mountain.
Six days passed quickly, and the day of the palace examination was coming.
When Zhou Fu saw the list in his hand, he felt that it was shining, as sacred and full of glory as the list of gods!
The heavyweights recorded in it are enough to bring new innovations and changes to the future of the entire Great Zhou.
The disciples of Confucius, the disciples of Xunzi, the disciples of Guiguzi, and I rely on the disciples of Zou Yan of the Yin Yang family!A lot of characters from the Warring States period in Chinese history popped up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
These juicy and shiny Chinese cabbages made Zhou Fu face a difficult situation for a while. With so many talents, how could he point out the top three?Now in Zhou Fu's hands, there are no less than three people who are prime ministers, this is really a sweet worry.
Zhou Fu looked sweetly at the roster handed in by Liubu, and an idea gradually took shape in his heart.
The imperial examination is His Majesty's assessment of all the students in the world, isn't it?
So Zhou Fu came up with another crooked idea. Each of the six parts has its own strengths. This time the scientific examination is divided into six parts. It is too difficult for him to choose the top three among so many people. So Zhou Fu Think of a way, let each of you talk about the dissatisfaction with Da Zhou so far, whoever talks more will be the number one scholar.
Zhou Fu's assessment made everyone feel incredible, and the courtiers whispered.
"It's not good to say that the Great Zhou is not good? Now that the Great Zhou is thriving, what's wrong with it?"
"You can't say that. There is no perfect thing in the world, but if the candidates say it in front of the palace, isn't that offending people? Who dares to jump out and say it?"
Your Majesty's behavior is too bad, my heart is so dark!
If this is the person who wins the first place, won't he offend everyone thoroughly?The cost of becoming the No. [-] scholar is too high. If you don't do it well, you will be a living target in the future, and you will be attacked everywhere!It's not worth it, it's not worth it, Zhuangyuan Lang just started a little higher, but he will really be in the officialdom in the future, how can he make enemies everywhere?
"Which one of you will speak first?" Emperor Zhou asked everyone with a smile on top of the hall.
Li Si was submerged among the candidates, with his thin lips pursed, he was thinking about weighing the pros and cons.He came to take part in the imperial examination in order to stand out and get a high salary. He thinks he is very knowledgeable, at least not worse than his classmate Han Fei!Now that Han Fei has become a minister, how could he be so far behind?
After Li Si's competitive spirit made him unwilling to be reconciled to others, he thought to himself, how could he back down now that he has come here?
What about offending someone?Isn't what His Majesty needs now, pure and lonely ministers who are loyal to His Majesty?
Li Si took a step forward and said firstly, "Your Majesty, the students believe that now that Da Zhou is besieged, one should be prepared for danger in times of peace, so as to make the country rich and the army strong!"
As soon as Li Si said that Da Zhou was besieged, many people looked at him with strange eyes, but Qu Yuan had some opinions on him before, but now that he said this, unexpectedly, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Oh?" Someone finally stood up first, unexpectedly he was an acquaintance, Zhou Fu still remembered him, and the person who had looked at him in the examination room was also the one who didn't give Master Qu Yuan any face and left the stage frivolously, Zhou Fu felt He said with interest: "Tell me, why are you surrounded by enemies?"
"It is a fact that Qin and Yan are now at war, and your majesty's prestige has also declined a lot because of this battle. Jin is not easy to get along with, and their king's ambition is not small, and the army of Dazhou is not united. Listening to the command of the local generals, but not knowing who the Emperor Zhou is, this is one of them."
Li Si ignored everyone's strange gazes, and continued: "Except for the king's capital, which is still relatively rich, the rest of the Zhou territory is sparsely populated, and many powerful and strong soldiers support themselves. Under the layers of exploitation, the military salaries sent to the border There are not many left, the imperial government's decrees are unreasonable, local officials and businessmen are colluding with corruption, and students are deeply worried about the current situation of Dazhou."
"It's nonsense! According to your so much, all the decrees made by the late emperor during his reign have become waste paper?" An official in the court retorted out of righteous indignation.
"Quiet, now is the examination period of the palace examination, and the rest of the people except the examinees are not allowed to interrupt," Zhou Di's majestic voice came from the palace: "Li Si, go ahead."
"Since the frequent catastrophes occurred in the period of the first emperor, Dazhou has not slowed down. Now that the land is exhausted, the harvest this year will not be much better, and the children of Dazhou are drunk and sleepy. Whoever is close to the popular oiran and compares with each other will bring a bad atmosphere. The children of the poor family will never rise to the top, and they will be squeezed out and suppressed if they work hard on their studies..."
After Li Si’s mouth, there is no good place in Dazhou. The politics, economy, agriculture and culture are all in a mess. The more he talks, the more people think that this is really the case. The unprecedentedly high emotions recently seem to have been poured with cold water. , cool it down.
After Li Si finished his speech, he calmly retreated to his seat under the disbelieving gazes of all civil and military officials.
Is our big week really that bad?
Some people have already begun to reflect, Li Si's words are too poisonous, they resounded deafeningly in their ears.
The past few years in Dazhou have been really turbulent!
Disasters occurred frequently in the country, Emperor Zhou was poisoned to death, the new emperor was ordered in danger, the five kings in the court rebelled, the Jin State was eyeing it, Qin Yan looked at no one...
Qu Yuan lowered his head to wipe away the surging tears, his eyes were red: he was right, our Da Zhou is so weak, pitiful and helpless!
Emperor Zhou's cold voice sounded again: "Is there anyone else to speak? Everyone here is not mediocre, so they have no other ideas?"
"Students have something to say," Yan Ying came out and said to the crowd: "Da Zhou is now at the dawn of the day, like the newborn sun, full of vitality. Of course what Li Si said before is not wrong, but these The problems will be solved one by one as Da Zhou grows."
Yan Ying is famous for his good use of metaphors and persuasion. Listening to him is a kind of enjoyment, and it also makes people feel very comfortable: "Your Majesty collects extremely low taxes from the people and is diligent in political affairs. The students heard that the adults For the imperial examinations, you are busy working overtime day and night, everyone is working so hard, what difficult things can't be done?"
"Of course there are these problems of severe exploitation by the domestic tyrants, but today's local tyrants are like a middle-aged cow who is about to enter old age. It relies on its former glory to whitewash itself. In fact, it is essentially useless. It can only wait The fate of slaughter." Yan Ying talked gracefully, his words were humorous, his metaphors were vivid, and he had a certain bearing, and the frowns of the officials gradually loosened with his words like a spring breeze.
But I heard Yan Ying say: "Your Majesty is young and promising, and he can still rule for a long time. The new forces in the court still need time to stabilize. When the time is right, all the adults will be good ministers and generals. Your Majesty is the leader of the sages." Lord, what problem is there that cannot be overcome?"
After Yan Ying finished speaking, the atmosphere in the court had dropped from freezing point to peaceful again, and many people looked at Yan Ying with admiration.
Emperor Zhou continued to ask: "Who else wants to say, you can come out and say it. Li Qing and Yan Qing have said very well before. I am looking forward to your performance."
Emperor Zhou's words were like a drop of water dripping into a frying pan, and a piece of hot oil was blown up.Li Qing!Yan Qing!Emperor Zhou has already made the two students who spoke before him his lover by default!
Since then, many new stars have shined brilliantly. Zhou Wuji, son of Xinling, also offered his advice to Emperor Zhou: "Your Majesty, there are now two powerful families in Zhou Dynasty, the South and the North. The South is on the border of Zhou and Jin, and the border is guarded by generations of guards. , they can restrain each other, while the Northland is more arrogant, but the students heard that Fuchai, the giant of the Northland, is violent, and his subordinates have old grudges with another powerful Goujian. Maybe they can be divided and disintegrated, so as to slowly consume the Northland tycoon the power of."
Zigong said in a speech: "The wealth of the Great Zhou can be accumulated, and it will continue to form a good cycle. If His Majesty can encourage commerce and farming, in terms of Zhou's current situation, he will soon be able to get out of the shadow of the previous disaster years. .”
None of the students who stand out from the crowd are fuel-efficient lamps. Even Taishan, who was promoted to the imperial court for making stone mills, said that his teacher Lu Ban once made siege equipment, including ladders and hooks. A good thing with strong military capabilities, and the things invented by Lu Ban, the usage of some farm tools can even improve the current farming efficiency.The courtiers who had never heard of grain processing machinery such as rice paddies, mills, and rollers were very interested in what Taishan said, and Emperor Zhou responded to Taishan's thoughts and ordered people to invite Master Lu Ban to come out of the mountain with high officials and generous salaries.
You know, the carvings, machine fronts, well drilling in history, and even the rumored pulley for pulling water are all outstanding creations of Luban!
Today is destined to be a wonderful day, and it is also destined to be recorded in the annals of history. On this day, one by one of the reformers who have not opened the big week officially stepped on the stage of history!
The palace examination came to an end, and among the many fresh and juicy cabbages, Zhou Fu picked the top three with difficulty.
Li Si, Yan Ying and Zi Gong.
Li Si ranked first, which was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
Yan Ying's talent is obvious to all, and Zigong's business giant is the key to the future economic development of Da Zhou.
When Zhao Gao read out the list, the audience was silent. There is no doubt about their talents, but they were surprised that Li Si became the number one. They thought that Yan Ying would be the one who most suits His Majesty.
"After the palace examination is over, I will give everyone a day's rest. The court will be closed tomorrow. From the day after tomorrow, remember to arrange good people for the internship positions in each department. It will last for two months. Those who perform poorly can be removed from the position," Zhou Di's majestic voice sounded again , This time, everyone thought that the rookie who had finished the exam by now became nervous again.
what? What?Is there an internship after the exam? !After finishing the exam, won't you be directly employed as an official?Why doesn't His Majesty play cards according to common sense?
The rest of the rankings will be called according to the results of the six assessments and announced nationwide, but this is just the beginning, the next internship is the real dire situation waiting for them, because if they fail the internship, they will not be able to become regulars!
"Why did Your Majesty choose Li Si as the head armor?" After the imperial examination, Zhao Gao asked Zhou Fu puzzled, "I originally thought that Your Majesty would sharpen his spirit."
Yes, Li Si is really too good at offending people, and too arrogant.
And I don't know why, as soon as Zhao Gao saw Li Si, he felt disgusted, as if he had eaten a mouthful of shit, disgusted and panicked.
It's really strange, have you gotten sick recently?Zhao Gao couldn't understand it.
"Why did I sharpen his spirit? He just told the bloody truth, peeled off the flesh and blood under the raging tide, and spread it out in front of everyone to see clearly," Zhou Fu chuckled: "My court needs That kind of people."
Li Si's vigor can smooth out the edges and corners of the entire court for him, while Zhou Fu only needs to play the role of a spring, pulling here and there, and sometimes acting as an "arsonist" to set the fire Just run away, leave the funeral to others to clean up, red blood!
Li Si, who was excited to get the first place, returned to his residence, feeling a chill down his back for no reason, always feeling that something big was waiting for him.No matter, he was tired all day today and just wanted to sleep well.
In the dream, Li Si accepted the order of the emperor and sent poisoned wine to his younger brother Han Fei to help him on the road. He assisted the emperor through the ages to achieve the great cause of unifying the world, and he held a high position. In the end, he was murdered by the treacherous Zhao Gao. The whole family was ransacked and beheaded, while he himself was in the pain of being beheaded...suddenly woke up!
Xinling son Zhou Wuji returned home in a daze. The old princess thought he was listless because he had failed the palace examination, so she comforted the young son: "Now that you pass the palace examination, you will serve in the court in the future. You are the younger brother of King Li, and you will be able to do well in the officialdom in the future." It's smooth sailing, don't worry."
What Zhou Wuji was worried about was not this at all, but that he and Yan Ying took part in the exam together, and that he would have close contact with this "ancient man who cheated on corpses" in the future, and practice together!
Zhou Wuji thought of Yan Ying's spring-like temper during the palace examination, and because of the knot in his heart, he only felt that Yan Ying gave him a gloomy feeling.Zhou Wuji's joyful mood of being praised by Emperor Zhou just because of his excellent performance in the palace examination was punctured like this. He once again plunged into the pile of bamboo slips, vowing to find out the "historical" record of Yan Ying.
The old concubine was very worried. Her eldest son could not be brought back, and she was determined to stay with a man for the rest of her life. Now she saw her youngest son soaked in the pile of bamboo slips all day long as if he had been hit by an evil spirit, looking devastated. So the old concubine came up with a way - happy!
The old concubine began to recruit girls of the right age for Zhou Wuji, and dragged Zhou Wuji who had finished the palace examination to start various blind dates.
Zhou Wuji was so annoyed that he simply hid in King Li's courtyard to hide himself.
The old concubine couldn't understand that Yang was a man as her daughter-in-law, but His Majesty had already decreed that their marriage was already in preparation, so she resisted passively and refused to step into King Li's courtyard.
"How's the palace examination going today?" King Li asked with concern when his brother came back.
Zhou Wuji was flattered by his elder brother's kind and caring words. He knew that King Li didn't like him. Who would like to be compared as a negative example all the time?Whenever others compare their brothers, praise him for his ability and say how mediocre and incompetent his elder brother is, Zhou Wuji feels ashamed of his elder brother, but he can't stop his mother's mouth, and he can't stop others from making irresponsible remarks.
The elder brother Wei Yang had many quarrels with his mother at home, and if Zhou Wuji told him that Yang's talent was even far superior to his, it seemed that his mother's back home methods were too cheap. Although he knew in his heart that they would be together sooner or later, Zhou Wuji never expected Elder brother can ask His Majesty to grant him a marriage!
Why is Yang so determined to talk to his elder brother?Zhou Wuji couldn't figure it out, he was equally astonishingly talented and gorgeous, so many beautiful girls loved him, so why couldn't he think about following his brother?
Zhou Wuji didn't know that Lord Longyang only liked men by nature, and King Li had many beauties in the harem in his previous life, which made him very disappointed and regretful, but he died early, and Lord Longyang lived to the end of his life and went to bed!In this life, King Li looks like he is not married to a non-qing, and he only guards him. He already loves him, and in this life, he will not let down King Li's infatuation.
His Majesty bestowed a marriage for the two of them, but did not mention the matter of marriage. Wang Li thought that His Majesty agreed to marry Yang, so he packed himself up happily.
"I didn't get the top three," Zhou Wuji said, "But Your Majesty has praised me, maybe he has a good impression of me."
"That's good, Your Majesty is kind and merciful, and work hard in the future! But don't be too tired," said Li Wangqiang, who succeeded in marrying a male god, and he was very happy. Everything he saw was pleasing to the eye, let alone their family's future hope?
The future succession of their lineage will depend on Wuji, he has to take good care of this younger brother, let him have more beautiful concubines in the future, and have more fat boys to stop his mother's mouth.
In the previous life, the cause of his death was that his political ideas were not valued by his elder brother, and he was separated from his brother by Qin's countermeasures. In the end, he gave up on himself, was addicted to alcohol and sex, hollowed out his body and died of depression. Mr. Xinling looked moved: "Thank you brother for your concern."
When King Li arranged for him one, two, three or four concubines, and his mother arranged for him five, six, seven or eight beautiful concubines, Zhou Wuji couldn't be moved anymore.
King Li: The future succession of our lineage depends on you!Work hard!
On the other side, Zhou Fu's trumpet has arrived in the territory of Dazhou with Zhou Xiaoshi and his party.
"Why are you free to come over today?" Zhou Xiaoshi asked in surprise when he saw that the white-faced man sitting in the car gradually changed into Zhou Tai's appearance, and seeing that it was daytime, he asked in surprise.
"After the imperial examination, the courtiers will have a day off," Zhou Fu said with a light smile, "So I came here to see what's going on here."
"We have passed the city wall on the border of Zhou, and now we have reached Xiajun," Zhou Xiaoshi said.
Xiajun is the largest city in the surrounding area. There are a large number of guards and entry and exit checkpoints. Zhou Xiaoshi has tokens from envoys of the Jin Dynasty. After entering the city, he will be protected and monitored by the army, and then let them live in the post.
"What's the frontier like?" Zhou Fu opened the car curtain curiously, the wind outside was quite strong, and his cheeks were sore, and sand got into his eyes after a while.
Seeing Zhou Fu rubbing his eyes, Zhou Xiaoshi hurriedly pulled down the curtain of the car: "It's all bare outside, far less prosperous than the royal city, and most of them are soldiers in armor. What's there to see?"
"I'm just curious, is it really like in the book, with iron horses and golden arms, and yellow sand all over the sky," Zhou Fu said in a low voice.
"What do you think now?" Zhou Xiaoshi said amusedly, "Isn't the sand just blinding your eyes?"
"I think," Zhou Fu moved his mouth, and said softly, "I think the life of the soldiers on the frontier is really not easy. Their armor is all worn out, and they look sallow and emaciated. Is it because they don't have enough food?"
"The military rations and salaries issued by the imperial court have to be transported to the border. It needs to be exploited layer by layer. Those aristocratic families control one after another. It is not bad that one out of ten actually reaches the hands of the soldiers." Zhou Xiaoshi said lightly: "You You didn’t see this before, it’s because you didn’t know, now that you see it, please treat it as if you don’t know.”
"Why? The soldiers guarded the border, how could they still do this?" Zhou Fu said sadly.
"Because people's hearts are greedy, because they have been fed by prosperity and corrupted by ease, and they are moths, you must not move now," Zhou Xiaoshi said to Zhou Fuzheng, "promise me, in ten days Don't act rashly until you are sure to kill them all, you never know how many tricks they can have."
"I..." Zhou Fu moved his lips, and said a little weakly: "Am I too complacent? Now that King Zhou is developing well, he is blinded by An Yi who is right in front of him. Obviously there are still so many people in this world. There are so many loopholes, but I can't fix them with my hands."
Saying this, Zhou Fu felt that he was a rookie, and up to now he was just tossing around in the capital.
Zhou Xiaoshi said with a smile: "Don't you want to eat a big fat man in one bite? This is impossible. Instead of complaining here, it is better to take practical actions to become stronger! This is what you enlightened me. Now I will tell you exactly what I said."
Zhou Fu stared at him blankly, he lifted the curtain again, and said solemnly: "It won't be too far, wait for me, next year, I will definitely let them wear new clothes and eat meat! "
"Okay, I'll wait and see," Zhou Xiaoshi heaved a sigh of relief seeing Zhou Tai's fighting spirit ignited again.
Fortunately, neither Zhou Tai nor Sima Zhong has the character to hesitate in the face of adversity.
It can be said that Zhou Fu and Sima Zhong's attitudes when facing difficulties directly affected Zhou Xiaoshi's three views.He is no longer the weak and helpless Zhou Xiaoshi in history who has nothing but color, he will learn from Zhou Tai, actively face all difficulties, and try his best to solve them.
"The inn is here, please get off the messenger!" Outside the car, a soldier guarding the border shouted to them at the gate of the inn.
Zhou Fu's trumpet is now a dilapidated body that will vomit blood if it is moved a little, the kind that the veil does not leave the body.Zhou Xiaoshi was afraid that he would be ruined, so he tried his best to take care of him, put a warm cloak on him, and then Zhou Xiaoshi got out of the car to open the door curtain for Zhou Fu.
When they arrived, there was already another group of people in the inn, Zhou Fu walked into the inn, and saw the prefect of Xiajun who came to welcome them ordering those people to move things.
When the eunuch saw them, he hurried over to say hello: "The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin is here. I am the emissary of this county. The emissary was not in a good time this time. Just before you, the king of Shu from the Tang Dynasty had just arrived at the inn. A thousand riders came here, and it took a lot of manpower to house these people!"
The eunuch said with apologetic face: "Nowadays there is a shortage of manpower, and if the reception is not good, I still hope Haihan."
"It's okay, the eunuch can just go, tell us where we live, and we will go there by ourselves," the eunuch obviously regarded Zhou Fu as the boss of their group, who made Zhou Xiaoshi take care of him all the time!
"What an embarrassment." The eunuch called a person and asked him to take them there: "This person is an official from my county, and my assistant, named Xiao He, will take the Jin envoys to their residences. Bar!"
???
Xiao He? !
No way?Is it Xiao He who succeeds and loses Xiao He?
Although it wasn't a big deal, it made the courtiers a little confused. What's going on?
Zhao She was overwhelmed by the imperial edict of bestowing marriage.
King Li... King Li thanked His Majesty in great joy. He accepted the imperial decree, went home, packed himself up, and fell in love with Yang.
Longyang Jun was a little unbelievable when he received the imperial decree sent to him by King Li'an. He is one of the rare people who has awakened all his memories so far. He is very happy to be able to continue his relationship with King Wei Li'an, but he did not expect , His Majesty is a strange person today!
Well, did the emperor really decree marriage for them this week? !
"Your Majesty gave us a marriage, is there no objection in the court?" Yang asked King Li in disbelief.
King Li smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhao said that it is not good for husband and wife to work in the same department. In order to avoid suspicion, I was transferred to logistics management."
No, that's not what he meant. Falling in love with a man violates the ethics of yin and yang. How did Emperor Zhou manage to shut up his courtiers?
"Your Majesty didn't tell the courtiers to shut up?" King Li said blankly: "Your Majesty said that he will be promoted to the top ten great men of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After that, everyone focused on discussing how to be promoted."
Even if someone wanted to impeach a man for being unreasonable in marriage, Zhou Fu blocked this part of the voice of opposition on the grounds that he was moved by King Li's affection.
What do you care about other people's affairs?Quickly turn your attention back, the Great Week Ten Best campaign is underway with gongs and drums!
When Zhou Fu announced the news, all the courtiers looked like cats who saw a small fish, their eyes glowed, and their ears were pricked up to listen attentively to what His Majesty said that the ten great awards represented respectively. what meanings.
Zhou Fu looked around at the courtiers who were engrossed, and found that there were still a few uninterested cats in a daze, how could this be possible?The first ten-best selection of the Great Week must be grand and lively, and it is best for all the people to participate!
It would be even better if it can stimulate a wave of economy.
Zhou Fu cleared his throat and started to create momentum.
"Your gentlemen, I think I haven't understood the meaning behind the top ten," Zhou Fu said to everyone, "You know, the top ten selected today not only represent your personal honor, but also concern the entire Zhou Dynasty. Good development?"
Sure enough, hearing what Zhou Fu said, Qu Yuan and other senior ministers who were originally dismissive of these false reputations all concentrated their energy.
Just listen to Zhou Fu's eloquence: "The so-called top ten is not only an honor, but also an example! Let the whole world know how good you are, and drive people all over the world to yearn for and emulate you, which is the most important meaning behind it. , and the great men who are elected must set an example, dare to be pioneers, be a template for the people of the world, and work for the welfare of the people!"
Of course, the ideological transformation and economic changes that will be behind this are unspeakable. Facts will prove that the people of Dazhou, who are poor in spiritual food, are happy to talk about topics that can be talked about for a long time at the dinner table. rise.
"The next ten-best selection process will be discussed by the Ministry of Education and will be handed over to the various ministries for implementation. After that, people who are best at writing and ink will be arranged to write biographies for the top ten," Zhou Fu saw that everyone was concentrating, and the next thing to do A new round of work is scheduled.
Let's talk about the planning of the first commercial street in Dazhou, the preparations for the martial arts after the imperial examination, and the arrangements for internships in various departments after that.
The morning court was going on in chattering discussions like a vegetable market again, and Zhou Fu guided the rhythm, which made everyone fall into a kind of: bear hardships and stand hard work, work hard!Good days ahead await you in high spirits.
The most important thing after these things, and the most imminent thing, is the next palace examination. Emperor Zhou said: "I tentatively arrange the palace examination in seven days, and the results of each department should be reported in these two days. The Ministry of Industry has not finished the exam, and the Ministry of Industry has more content in the exam this time, and the number of people included can also be increased. In the future, the Ministry of Industry will take the lead in this big week of hard projects."
Zhou Fu said this to Wang Mang. Now that Wang Mang is following Zhou Fu, he has tasted the sweetness. Although his power is gone, his status among the people is rising steadily. Now even a three-year-old child who walks outside knows him name.
"I will do my best to live up to your Majesty's expectations." Wang Mang was full of motivation, and he was eager to try. He knew that following His Majesty would have meat to eat, and following His Majesty's ups and downs in his life would be recorded in the annals of history.Maybe thousands of years later, people will mention him as an ancestor with admiration and reverence, which makes Wang Mang, who has a good reputation and good face, feel like he is going to float every time he thinks about it.
In the history of China, Wang Mang endured his fame for most of his life for the sake of the supreme throne and power. Now the throne is definitely hopeless. Given him ten guts, he would not dare to face up to Emperor Zhou. The desire for power is hopeless. On the contrary, vanity has been greatly satisfied.
Wang Mang thought of his eldest daughter who was still suffering in Zhou Huangling, and now his second daughter's marriage was soaring because of his reputation, but his most beloved eldest daughter lived alone in Zhou Huangling. Wang Mang raised a new dream, he wanted to repair A wide and flat road shortens the distance from Zhou Wangdu to Zhou Huangling, so that he can help and take care of his hard-working eldest daughter in the future.
After all, it was all the old woman's fault!
After the implementation of the top ten, Da Zhou has been popular for a while to chase stars. For example, Mr. Wang, who has made great contributions to Da Zhou, has been fixed on the board. The pens used by Mr. Wang, the ink used by Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang worked late at night The lamp oil used, the books that Mr. Wang has read, the restaurants that Mr. Wang likes to eat...
This is different from the kind of star chasing that dandies pursue after ladies in brothels. Mr. Wang is a "male god" in a high position. He can only watch from a distance and not play around. Which panties do adults like to wear?
Who the hell would know that when the people His Majesty invited to write their biographies, they would praise them to the sky?Not only that, the plot is ups and downs, the story is fascinating, and Wang Mang himself was moved to tears. He never knew that he encountered so much pain and suffering when he was building roads?
After he became really famous, Wang Mang regretted it, his guts were green with regret!But what can he do?Now that he has the fame and reputation that he has been pursuing wholeheartedly, what is there for him to be dissatisfied with?
Wait, what are you trying to do?I don't take concubines, I don't want to fill in the house, don't tear my clothes, help!
Under the exaggerated and exaggerated publicity of the Top Ten, Mr. Wang, the "male god" who has attracted the attention of the whole city, no longer dares to go out alone.
At this time, Mr. Wang had no idea what kind of pit was waiting for him. Today, he finally heard His Majesty's proposal to officially start the selection of the top ten. It was as if Mr. Wang had been injected with chicken blood. Let's call "Your Majesty!"
Zhou Fu didn't know about the change in Wang Mang's heart, but the assessment by the Ministry of Industry was carried out this afternoon.
The Ministry of Industry is an organization that mainly builds major projects. In addition to recruiting more skilled craftsmen, it also needs engineers and scientific research personnel. Therefore, the recruitment requirements of the Ministry of Industry are not only theoretical knowledge, but if the person has a special invention It is enough to prove its ability, and it can even be directly appointed as an official.
The Ministry of Industry selected a group of outstanding talents. In addition to Zheng Guo, who has a thorough knowledge of water conservancy theory, there is also a man named Li Bing. In Chinese history, he is a famous water conservancy expert. He recruited migrant workers Many water conservancy projects were built in the Minjiang River Basin, among which the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, which he and his son presided over the construction, is the most famous.For thousands of years, this project has laid a solid foundation for the Chengdu Plain to become the Land of Abundance.
And Zheng Guo’s famous name is well-known to every household. During the Warring States Period of China, Zheng Guo was sent by Han Wang to Qin State to build water conservancy works, thereby “tiring Qin”. good name.There is also a person named Zhang Zhan who has unique insights into reclaiming rice fields and planting rice.
What this espionage activity did actually strengthened the enemy. Is Zheng Guo's attribute a beckoning cat?
In addition, there is another person named Taishan, who is Taishan who has eyes but does not know Taishan!
Taishan's superb skills can turn dead wood into magic and make excellent woodworking furniture.How could a woodworking craftsman stand out in the assessment by the Ministry of Industry?
Because he made something never before seen!Stone mill!Before this, Wang Mang had obtained the sample draft of the stone mill from His Majesty. He can guarantee that the sample draft is in his hands, and those craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry who are studying the sample draft have not yet made a complete finished product.But Taishan, he fiddled with the stone mill, without a sample!
The venue for the craft assessment is relatively open, allowing those who come to take the artisan division examination to flex their muscles to their heart's content. However, Taishan, who looks dull and stupid, was not favored at first.
"What did this stupid guy do?" The people next to him snickered at his clumsy hands and feet.
"I didn't expect that such a person would enter the third round," someone shook his head dissatisfied.
"Isn't this stupid guy giving up on himself because he can't do something good?" Even the examiner noticed it and whispered to his colleagues next to him
"Look at his cylinder, what the hell, no one wants it even if it's sold," the colleague shook his head.
Wang Mang was patrolling the examination room, and accidentally noticed the movement here. It was the third round, and the ones left after the screening were all elites. How could anyone fool the examination?
The servant of the Ministry of Industry saw their Shangshu Wang approaching to see Taishan's works, his face suddenly changed, and his heart skipped a beat: "My lord, what's wrong?"
"Hey, who taught you how to make this stone mill?" Wang Mang turned pale with shock, and asked Tai Shandao eagerly.
"Does your lord know that this is a stone mill?" Taishan scratched the back of his head, and smiled honestly: "This is something created by the student's teacher, Gong Shuban, and then taught it to the students. The teacher asked me to make it during the exam. .”
"Your teacher is Gongshuban?" Wang Mang asked in surprise, "But that famous carpenter among the people?"
"The teacher heard that His Majesty was going to grant official positions to the craftsmen, so he asked the students to try it," Taishan said.
After that, Wang Mang found Zhou Fu, told him about Taishan, and pulled out a big fish behind him! - Luban!
The originator of architecture in Chinese history, the originator of carpenters, invented cutting and measuring tools such as saws, axes, curved rulers, and ink fountains. He made umbrellas, stone mills, and ladders!
And he invented so many things with only one purpose, to benefit the common people.
Zhou Fu didn't expect that just after he worked out the blueprint of the stone mill with the knowledge in his mind, the owner of the invention would appear. This made Zhou Fu a little cautious, but more of a great joy. Order people to inquire about Lu Ban's movements. If this master can be invited to the Ministry of Industry to guide, the hands-on ability and invention and creativity of the entire Ministry of Industry and Craftsmanship will be improved to a higher level!
The third exam gradually came to an end after Zhou Fu sent someone to ask Master Lu Ban to come out of the mountain.
Six days passed quickly, and the day of the palace examination was coming.
When Zhou Fu saw the list in his hand, he felt that it was shining, as sacred and full of glory as the list of gods!
The heavyweights recorded in it are enough to bring new innovations and changes to the future of the entire Great Zhou.
The disciples of Confucius, the disciples of Xunzi, the disciples of Guiguzi, and I rely on the disciples of Zou Yan of the Yin Yang family!A lot of characters from the Warring States period in Chinese history popped up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
These juicy and shiny Chinese cabbages made Zhou Fu face a difficult situation for a while. With so many talents, how could he point out the top three?Now in Zhou Fu's hands, there are no less than three people who are prime ministers, this is really a sweet worry.
Zhou Fu looked sweetly at the roster handed in by Liubu, and an idea gradually took shape in his heart.
The imperial examination is His Majesty's assessment of all the students in the world, isn't it?
So Zhou Fu came up with another crooked idea. Each of the six parts has its own strengths. This time the scientific examination is divided into six parts. It is too difficult for him to choose the top three among so many people. So Zhou Fu Think of a way, let each of you talk about the dissatisfaction with Da Zhou so far, whoever talks more will be the number one scholar.
Zhou Fu's assessment made everyone feel incredible, and the courtiers whispered.
"It's not good to say that the Great Zhou is not good? Now that the Great Zhou is thriving, what's wrong with it?"
"You can't say that. There is no perfect thing in the world, but if the candidates say it in front of the palace, isn't that offending people? Who dares to jump out and say it?"
Your Majesty's behavior is too bad, my heart is so dark!
If this is the person who wins the first place, won't he offend everyone thoroughly?The cost of becoming the No. [-] scholar is too high. If you don't do it well, you will be a living target in the future, and you will be attacked everywhere!It's not worth it, it's not worth it, Zhuangyuan Lang just started a little higher, but he will really be in the officialdom in the future, how can he make enemies everywhere?
"Which one of you will speak first?" Emperor Zhou asked everyone with a smile on top of the hall.
Li Si was submerged among the candidates, with his thin lips pursed, he was thinking about weighing the pros and cons.He came to take part in the imperial examination in order to stand out and get a high salary. He thinks he is very knowledgeable, at least not worse than his classmate Han Fei!Now that Han Fei has become a minister, how could he be so far behind?
After Li Si's competitive spirit made him unwilling to be reconciled to others, he thought to himself, how could he back down now that he has come here?
What about offending someone?Isn't what His Majesty needs now, pure and lonely ministers who are loyal to His Majesty?
Li Si took a step forward and said firstly, "Your Majesty, the students believe that now that Da Zhou is besieged, one should be prepared for danger in times of peace, so as to make the country rich and the army strong!"
As soon as Li Si said that Da Zhou was besieged, many people looked at him with strange eyes, but Qu Yuan had some opinions on him before, but now that he said this, unexpectedly, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Oh?" Someone finally stood up first, unexpectedly he was an acquaintance, Zhou Fu still remembered him, and the person who had looked at him in the examination room was also the one who didn't give Master Qu Yuan any face and left the stage frivolously, Zhou Fu felt He said with interest: "Tell me, why are you surrounded by enemies?"
"It is a fact that Qin and Yan are now at war, and your majesty's prestige has also declined a lot because of this battle. Jin is not easy to get along with, and their king's ambition is not small, and the army of Dazhou is not united. Listening to the command of the local generals, but not knowing who the Emperor Zhou is, this is one of them."
Li Si ignored everyone's strange gazes, and continued: "Except for the king's capital, which is still relatively rich, the rest of the Zhou territory is sparsely populated, and many powerful and strong soldiers support themselves. Under the layers of exploitation, the military salaries sent to the border There are not many left, the imperial government's decrees are unreasonable, local officials and businessmen are colluding with corruption, and students are deeply worried about the current situation of Dazhou."
"It's nonsense! According to your so much, all the decrees made by the late emperor during his reign have become waste paper?" An official in the court retorted out of righteous indignation.
"Quiet, now is the examination period of the palace examination, and the rest of the people except the examinees are not allowed to interrupt," Zhou Di's majestic voice came from the palace: "Li Si, go ahead."
"Since the frequent catastrophes occurred in the period of the first emperor, Dazhou has not slowed down. Now that the land is exhausted, the harvest this year will not be much better, and the children of Dazhou are drunk and sleepy. Whoever is close to the popular oiran and compares with each other will bring a bad atmosphere. The children of the poor family will never rise to the top, and they will be squeezed out and suppressed if they work hard on their studies..."
After Li Si’s mouth, there is no good place in Dazhou. The politics, economy, agriculture and culture are all in a mess. The more he talks, the more people think that this is really the case. The unprecedentedly high emotions recently seem to have been poured with cold water. , cool it down.
After Li Si finished his speech, he calmly retreated to his seat under the disbelieving gazes of all civil and military officials.
Is our big week really that bad?
Some people have already begun to reflect, Li Si's words are too poisonous, they resounded deafeningly in their ears.
The past few years in Dazhou have been really turbulent!
Disasters occurred frequently in the country, Emperor Zhou was poisoned to death, the new emperor was ordered in danger, the five kings in the court rebelled, the Jin State was eyeing it, Qin Yan looked at no one...
Qu Yuan lowered his head to wipe away the surging tears, his eyes were red: he was right, our Da Zhou is so weak, pitiful and helpless!
Emperor Zhou's cold voice sounded again: "Is there anyone else to speak? Everyone here is not mediocre, so they have no other ideas?"
"Students have something to say," Yan Ying came out and said to the crowd: "Da Zhou is now at the dawn of the day, like the newborn sun, full of vitality. Of course what Li Si said before is not wrong, but these The problems will be solved one by one as Da Zhou grows."
Yan Ying is famous for his good use of metaphors and persuasion. Listening to him is a kind of enjoyment, and it also makes people feel very comfortable: "Your Majesty collects extremely low taxes from the people and is diligent in political affairs. The students heard that the adults For the imperial examinations, you are busy working overtime day and night, everyone is working so hard, what difficult things can't be done?"
"Of course there are these problems of severe exploitation by the domestic tyrants, but today's local tyrants are like a middle-aged cow who is about to enter old age. It relies on its former glory to whitewash itself. In fact, it is essentially useless. It can only wait The fate of slaughter." Yan Ying talked gracefully, his words were humorous, his metaphors were vivid, and he had a certain bearing, and the frowns of the officials gradually loosened with his words like a spring breeze.
But I heard Yan Ying say: "Your Majesty is young and promising, and he can still rule for a long time. The new forces in the court still need time to stabilize. When the time is right, all the adults will be good ministers and generals. Your Majesty is the leader of the sages." Lord, what problem is there that cannot be overcome?"
After Yan Ying finished speaking, the atmosphere in the court had dropped from freezing point to peaceful again, and many people looked at Yan Ying with admiration.
Emperor Zhou continued to ask: "Who else wants to say, you can come out and say it. Li Qing and Yan Qing have said very well before. I am looking forward to your performance."
Emperor Zhou's words were like a drop of water dripping into a frying pan, and a piece of hot oil was blown up.Li Qing!Yan Qing!Emperor Zhou has already made the two students who spoke before him his lover by default!
Since then, many new stars have shined brilliantly. Zhou Wuji, son of Xinling, also offered his advice to Emperor Zhou: "Your Majesty, there are now two powerful families in Zhou Dynasty, the South and the North. The South is on the border of Zhou and Jin, and the border is guarded by generations of guards. , they can restrain each other, while the Northland is more arrogant, but the students heard that Fuchai, the giant of the Northland, is violent, and his subordinates have old grudges with another powerful Goujian. Maybe they can be divided and disintegrated, so as to slowly consume the Northland tycoon the power of."
Zigong said in a speech: "The wealth of the Great Zhou can be accumulated, and it will continue to form a good cycle. If His Majesty can encourage commerce and farming, in terms of Zhou's current situation, he will soon be able to get out of the shadow of the previous disaster years. .”
None of the students who stand out from the crowd are fuel-efficient lamps. Even Taishan, who was promoted to the imperial court for making stone mills, said that his teacher Lu Ban once made siege equipment, including ladders and hooks. A good thing with strong military capabilities, and the things invented by Lu Ban, the usage of some farm tools can even improve the current farming efficiency.The courtiers who had never heard of grain processing machinery such as rice paddies, mills, and rollers were very interested in what Taishan said, and Emperor Zhou responded to Taishan's thoughts and ordered people to invite Master Lu Ban to come out of the mountain with high officials and generous salaries.
You know, the carvings, machine fronts, well drilling in history, and even the rumored pulley for pulling water are all outstanding creations of Luban!
Today is destined to be a wonderful day, and it is also destined to be recorded in the annals of history. On this day, one by one of the reformers who have not opened the big week officially stepped on the stage of history!
The palace examination came to an end, and among the many fresh and juicy cabbages, Zhou Fu picked the top three with difficulty.
Li Si, Yan Ying and Zi Gong.
Li Si ranked first, which was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
Yan Ying's talent is obvious to all, and Zigong's business giant is the key to the future economic development of Da Zhou.
When Zhao Gao read out the list, the audience was silent. There is no doubt about their talents, but they were surprised that Li Si became the number one. They thought that Yan Ying would be the one who most suits His Majesty.
"After the palace examination is over, I will give everyone a day's rest. The court will be closed tomorrow. From the day after tomorrow, remember to arrange good people for the internship positions in each department. It will last for two months. Those who perform poorly can be removed from the position," Zhou Di's majestic voice sounded again , This time, everyone thought that the rookie who had finished the exam by now became nervous again.
what? What?Is there an internship after the exam? !After finishing the exam, won't you be directly employed as an official?Why doesn't His Majesty play cards according to common sense?
The rest of the rankings will be called according to the results of the six assessments and announced nationwide, but this is just the beginning, the next internship is the real dire situation waiting for them, because if they fail the internship, they will not be able to become regulars!
"Why did Your Majesty choose Li Si as the head armor?" After the imperial examination, Zhao Gao asked Zhou Fu puzzled, "I originally thought that Your Majesty would sharpen his spirit."
Yes, Li Si is really too good at offending people, and too arrogant.
And I don't know why, as soon as Zhao Gao saw Li Si, he felt disgusted, as if he had eaten a mouthful of shit, disgusted and panicked.
It's really strange, have you gotten sick recently?Zhao Gao couldn't understand it.
"Why did I sharpen his spirit? He just told the bloody truth, peeled off the flesh and blood under the raging tide, and spread it out in front of everyone to see clearly," Zhou Fu chuckled: "My court needs That kind of people."
Li Si's vigor can smooth out the edges and corners of the entire court for him, while Zhou Fu only needs to play the role of a spring, pulling here and there, and sometimes acting as an "arsonist" to set the fire Just run away, leave the funeral to others to clean up, red blood!
Li Si, who was excited to get the first place, returned to his residence, feeling a chill down his back for no reason, always feeling that something big was waiting for him.No matter, he was tired all day today and just wanted to sleep well.
In the dream, Li Si accepted the order of the emperor and sent poisoned wine to his younger brother Han Fei to help him on the road. He assisted the emperor through the ages to achieve the great cause of unifying the world, and he held a high position. In the end, he was murdered by the treacherous Zhao Gao. The whole family was ransacked and beheaded, while he himself was in the pain of being beheaded...suddenly woke up!
Xinling son Zhou Wuji returned home in a daze. The old princess thought he was listless because he had failed the palace examination, so she comforted the young son: "Now that you pass the palace examination, you will serve in the court in the future. You are the younger brother of King Li, and you will be able to do well in the officialdom in the future." It's smooth sailing, don't worry."
What Zhou Wuji was worried about was not this at all, but that he and Yan Ying took part in the exam together, and that he would have close contact with this "ancient man who cheated on corpses" in the future, and practice together!
Zhou Wuji thought of Yan Ying's spring-like temper during the palace examination, and because of the knot in his heart, he only felt that Yan Ying gave him a gloomy feeling.Zhou Wuji's joyful mood of being praised by Emperor Zhou just because of his excellent performance in the palace examination was punctured like this. He once again plunged into the pile of bamboo slips, vowing to find out the "historical" record of Yan Ying.
The old concubine was very worried. Her eldest son could not be brought back, and she was determined to stay with a man for the rest of her life. Now she saw her youngest son soaked in the pile of bamboo slips all day long as if he had been hit by an evil spirit, looking devastated. So the old concubine came up with a way - happy!
The old concubine began to recruit girls of the right age for Zhou Wuji, and dragged Zhou Wuji who had finished the palace examination to start various blind dates.
Zhou Wuji was so annoyed that he simply hid in King Li's courtyard to hide himself.
The old concubine couldn't understand that Yang was a man as her daughter-in-law, but His Majesty had already decreed that their marriage was already in preparation, so she resisted passively and refused to step into King Li's courtyard.
"How's the palace examination going today?" King Li asked with concern when his brother came back.
Zhou Wuji was flattered by his elder brother's kind and caring words. He knew that King Li didn't like him. Who would like to be compared as a negative example all the time?Whenever others compare their brothers, praise him for his ability and say how mediocre and incompetent his elder brother is, Zhou Wuji feels ashamed of his elder brother, but he can't stop his mother's mouth, and he can't stop others from making irresponsible remarks.
The elder brother Wei Yang had many quarrels with his mother at home, and if Zhou Wuji told him that Yang's talent was even far superior to his, it seemed that his mother's back home methods were too cheap. Although he knew in his heart that they would be together sooner or later, Zhou Wuji never expected Elder brother can ask His Majesty to grant him a marriage!
Why is Yang so determined to talk to his elder brother?Zhou Wuji couldn't figure it out, he was equally astonishingly talented and gorgeous, so many beautiful girls loved him, so why couldn't he think about following his brother?
Zhou Wuji didn't know that Lord Longyang only liked men by nature, and King Li had many beauties in the harem in his previous life, which made him very disappointed and regretful, but he died early, and Lord Longyang lived to the end of his life and went to bed!In this life, King Li looks like he is not married to a non-qing, and he only guards him. He already loves him, and in this life, he will not let down King Li's infatuation.
His Majesty bestowed a marriage for the two of them, but did not mention the matter of marriage. Wang Li thought that His Majesty agreed to marry Yang, so he packed himself up happily.
"I didn't get the top three," Zhou Wuji said, "But Your Majesty has praised me, maybe he has a good impression of me."
"That's good, Your Majesty is kind and merciful, and work hard in the future! But don't be too tired," said Li Wangqiang, who succeeded in marrying a male god, and he was very happy. Everything he saw was pleasing to the eye, let alone their family's future hope?
The future succession of their lineage will depend on Wuji, he has to take good care of this younger brother, let him have more beautiful concubines in the future, and have more fat boys to stop his mother's mouth.
In the previous life, the cause of his death was that his political ideas were not valued by his elder brother, and he was separated from his brother by Qin's countermeasures. In the end, he gave up on himself, was addicted to alcohol and sex, hollowed out his body and died of depression. Mr. Xinling looked moved: "Thank you brother for your concern."
When King Li arranged for him one, two, three or four concubines, and his mother arranged for him five, six, seven or eight beautiful concubines, Zhou Wuji couldn't be moved anymore.
King Li: The future succession of our lineage depends on you!Work hard!
On the other side, Zhou Fu's trumpet has arrived in the territory of Dazhou with Zhou Xiaoshi and his party.
"Why are you free to come over today?" Zhou Xiaoshi asked in surprise when he saw that the white-faced man sitting in the car gradually changed into Zhou Tai's appearance, and seeing that it was daytime, he asked in surprise.
"After the imperial examination, the courtiers will have a day off," Zhou Fu said with a light smile, "So I came here to see what's going on here."
"We have passed the city wall on the border of Zhou, and now we have reached Xiajun," Zhou Xiaoshi said.
Xiajun is the largest city in the surrounding area. There are a large number of guards and entry and exit checkpoints. Zhou Xiaoshi has tokens from envoys of the Jin Dynasty. After entering the city, he will be protected and monitored by the army, and then let them live in the post.
"What's the frontier like?" Zhou Fu opened the car curtain curiously, the wind outside was quite strong, and his cheeks were sore, and sand got into his eyes after a while.
Seeing Zhou Fu rubbing his eyes, Zhou Xiaoshi hurriedly pulled down the curtain of the car: "It's all bare outside, far less prosperous than the royal city, and most of them are soldiers in armor. What's there to see?"
"I'm just curious, is it really like in the book, with iron horses and golden arms, and yellow sand all over the sky," Zhou Fu said in a low voice.
"What do you think now?" Zhou Xiaoshi said amusedly, "Isn't the sand just blinding your eyes?"
"I think," Zhou Fu moved his mouth, and said softly, "I think the life of the soldiers on the frontier is really not easy. Their armor is all worn out, and they look sallow and emaciated. Is it because they don't have enough food?"
"The military rations and salaries issued by the imperial court have to be transported to the border. It needs to be exploited layer by layer. Those aristocratic families control one after another. It is not bad that one out of ten actually reaches the hands of the soldiers." Zhou Xiaoshi said lightly: "You You didn’t see this before, it’s because you didn’t know, now that you see it, please treat it as if you don’t know.”
"Why? The soldiers guarded the border, how could they still do this?" Zhou Fu said sadly.
"Because people's hearts are greedy, because they have been fed by prosperity and corrupted by ease, and they are moths, you must not move now," Zhou Xiaoshi said to Zhou Fuzheng, "promise me, in ten days Don't act rashly until you are sure to kill them all, you never know how many tricks they can have."
"I..." Zhou Fu moved his lips, and said a little weakly: "Am I too complacent? Now that King Zhou is developing well, he is blinded by An Yi who is right in front of him. Obviously there are still so many people in this world. There are so many loopholes, but I can't fix them with my hands."
Saying this, Zhou Fu felt that he was a rookie, and up to now he was just tossing around in the capital.
Zhou Xiaoshi said with a smile: "Don't you want to eat a big fat man in one bite? This is impossible. Instead of complaining here, it is better to take practical actions to become stronger! This is what you enlightened me. Now I will tell you exactly what I said."
Zhou Fu stared at him blankly, he lifted the curtain again, and said solemnly: "It won't be too far, wait for me, next year, I will definitely let them wear new clothes and eat meat! "
"Okay, I'll wait and see," Zhou Xiaoshi heaved a sigh of relief seeing Zhou Tai's fighting spirit ignited again.
Fortunately, neither Zhou Tai nor Sima Zhong has the character to hesitate in the face of adversity.
It can be said that Zhou Fu and Sima Zhong's attitudes when facing difficulties directly affected Zhou Xiaoshi's three views.He is no longer the weak and helpless Zhou Xiaoshi in history who has nothing but color, he will learn from Zhou Tai, actively face all difficulties, and try his best to solve them.
"The inn is here, please get off the messenger!" Outside the car, a soldier guarding the border shouted to them at the gate of the inn.
Zhou Fu's trumpet is now a dilapidated body that will vomit blood if it is moved a little, the kind that the veil does not leave the body.Zhou Xiaoshi was afraid that he would be ruined, so he tried his best to take care of him, put a warm cloak on him, and then Zhou Xiaoshi got out of the car to open the door curtain for Zhou Fu.
When they arrived, there was already another group of people in the inn, Zhou Fu walked into the inn, and saw the prefect of Xiajun who came to welcome them ordering those people to move things.
When the eunuch saw them, he hurried over to say hello: "The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin is here. I am the emissary of this county. The emissary was not in a good time this time. Just before you, the king of Shu from the Tang Dynasty had just arrived at the inn. A thousand riders came here, and it took a lot of manpower to house these people!"
The eunuch said with apologetic face: "Nowadays there is a shortage of manpower, and if the reception is not good, I still hope Haihan."
"It's okay, the eunuch can just go, tell us where we live, and we will go there by ourselves," the eunuch obviously regarded Zhou Fu as the boss of their group, who made Zhou Xiaoshi take care of him all the time!
"What an embarrassment." The eunuch called a person and asked him to take them there: "This person is an official from my county, and my assistant, named Xiao He, will take the Jin envoys to their residences. Bar!"
