[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Chapter 183 The Three Kingdoms Are Busy (3)

Before coming to Luoyang, Lin Yuzhou's understanding of Wang Yun was limited to knowing that he had a daughter who was so beautiful that the moon could hide in the clouds in shame. After coming here, in order to understand the court officials, he read all the officials. Only then did they know that Wang Yun was born in a royal family in Shanxi, who had held important official positions in prefectures and counties for generations, and was one of the famous families in the Han Dynasty.

A few days ago, Lin Yuzhou revealed that the court officials would be assessed, and that he was planning to replace the examination system and the expropriation system with the imperial examination system. Wang Yun's visit this time was probably for these two things.

"Historically, Wang Yun was considered a good official before killing Dong Zhuo."

Hearing what Ji Shengyan said, Lin Yuzhou frowned, "What about after that?" Wouldn't he become a courtier?

Ji Shengyan said: "After killing Dong Zhuo, he took the credit and prided himself. First he killed Cai Yong unjustly, and finally he himself died."

"Cai Yong, he's not Cai Wenji..."

"He's here." Ji Shengyan signaled Lin Yuzhou to deal with Wang Yun first, and he will talk about the rest later, and he himself walked towards the inner hall of the study.

Wang Yun is an old man in his 60s, with gray hair, not tall, and in good spirits. At first glance, he looks like a delicate old man who has lived a pampered life for a long time.

"Wang Zhonglang, please sit down." Lin Yuzhou stretched out his hand and said.

"Thank you, General." Wang Yun cupped his hands slightly. After he sat down, he first took a sip of clear tea, and after praising the cup of tea, he explained why he came. Officer, is it inappropriate?"

Lin Yuzhou knocked on the tea cover, and said with a smile: "I have informed His Majesty about this matter, and the specific regulations will be announced tomorrow morning. If Wang Zhonglang thinks something is wrong, you can explain your opinion to Your Majesty tomorrow."

Wang Yun lowered his head and coughed. Dong Zhuo's aura was too strong, and when he looked at him, he felt a guilty conscience of being completely seen through.He picked up his teacup and took a sip in disguise, thinking about the imperial examination system discussed by the court a few days ago, he was about to raise his head to explain, but was stunned by the other party's gaze.

In the inner hall of the study, Liu Xie squeezed out from the secret door, and when he looked up, he saw Ji Shengyan's sharp gaze, and he shivered in fright.

Lin Yuzhou's mansion was rebuilt from Zhang Rang's mansion, which is close to the imperial city.At first, in order to curry favor with the emperor, Zhang Rang specially built a secret passage so that Emperor Ling could come out to play.

After Lin Yuzhou discovered this secret passage, he was going to fill it up, but was stopped by Liu Xie. He also wanted to get out of the imperial city occasionally to get some air.Liu Xie is still a child, always suffocating in the imperial city with four corners of the sky, maybe he will suffer from depression.Lin Yuzhou agreed.

Liu Xie moved to Ji Shengyan's side and "eavesdropped" on the conversation between Lin Yuzhou and Wang Yun with him. When he heard Lin Yuzhou say that all the talents in the world belong to the imperial court, and only talents should be promoted, he finally heard the phrase "students of the Son of Heaven" Words, his whole face flushed with excitement.

Seeing Liu Xie like this, Ji Shengyan slapped him on the back of the head, killing his overly excited mood.

There was no sound outside the study, and Liu Xie asked Ji Shengyan in a low voice: "Wang Zhonglang doesn't seem to be very happy to implement the imperial examination system, why?"

Ji Shengyan said something irrelevant: "Liu Bian has proclaimed himself emperor in Jizhou."

"I know." Liu Bian buckled the edge of the case.

Ji Shengyan asked: "Are you willing to let him share the country equally with you?"

Liu Xie looked up: "No!"

Ji Shengyan spread his right hand: "Similarly, talent selection is the 'country' of aristocratic families. The imperial examination system will allow quite a few children from poor families to divide this 'country'. Of course they don't want to let it go."

Lin Yuzhou sent Wang Yun away, and happened to hear these words when he walked into the inner hall.The Han Dynasty lasted for more than 400 years, and the loyalty of the aristocratic family to the Liu family was still quite high, but after the demise of the Liu Dynasty, who would put the royal family in the eyes of the wealthy families of the Wei and Jin Dynasties?Even in the early Tang Dynasty, the gentry were still ashamed of marrying the upstarts in the court, and they were even unwilling to marry the princess.It wasn't until the empress ascended the throne that she expelled the Guanlong political group headed by Changsun Wuji from the political center with a thunderous force, and the situation of elites curbing talents was really broken.

Liu Xiecai was only eight years old, and even though he read carefully every day, he still understood a limited amount of things, but Ji Shengyan's analogy was very straightforward, and he understood.Just because he understood, he was even more unhappy. When he turned his head and saw Lin Yuzhou, his whole face was swollen with anger.

After a while, Liu Xie calmed down, and said to Lin Yuzhou who came in: "General, I'm here to find Qingya." Ever since he was taken out of the imperial city by Qingya, he liked that feeling very much, he wanted to learn martial arts , and dare not tell Lin Yuzhou and Ji Shengyan that they can only pester Qingya.

Thinking that Qingya is with Xun Yu, and Xun Yu will probably be one of Liu Xie's tutors in the future, Lin Yuzhou did not hesitate to ask Liu Xie to be sent there. It is better to leave it to others to take care of children. .

After Liu Xie left, Lin Yuzhou sat next to Ji Shengyan, "Following what you said just now, Cai Yong is Cai Wenji's father and a celebrity of a generation, why didn't he see his name in the official list?"

"During the time of Emperor Ling, he was exiled in Shuofang, and then avoided disaster in the south of the Yangtze River." Thanks to his identity through time travel, Ji Shengyan has a comprehensive understanding of the Eastern Han gentry. When he was in Yingchuan, he also read books written by Cai Yong, "Dong Zhuo After taking power, Cai Yong was forcibly summoned to sacrifice wine for the military commander, and within three days, he successively held three positions: Servant Yushi, Zhishu Shiyushi, and Shangshu, and this matter is recorded in the history books."

"No wonder Wang Yun killed Cai Yong unjustly." Lin Yuzhou rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "Cai Yong has a great talent, so don't waste it. It just so happens that the first imperial examination still lacks an examiner."

Ji Shengyan raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to be the chief examiner?"

Recalling the experience of the imperial examination in the Red Chamber World, Lin Yuzhou shook his head, and he said happily, "Would you like to try the imperial examination?" The so-called blessings are shared, and difficulties are shared. They have all been emperors, generals, and gods together. Just one exam away.

Ji Shengyan understood Lin Yuzhou's thoughts, but he shook his head resolutely.

The Luoyang imperial court was carrying out reforms in an orderly manner. After receiving the order to attack Bingzhou, Lu Bu, who was far away in Mengdi, rushed to Dingyuan's lair like a tiger descending from the mountain. He fought from north to south, from Wuyuan County to Taiyuan County. When he was in Jinyang, he was hindered.

"General, the name of the general guarding the city of Jinyang is Zhang Liao. He is a fierce general." The one who spoke was Yang Feng. After being selected at the top, he became Lu Bu's subordinate.

"I know this man." Lu Bu held a brush in his mouth. The Liangzhou army's tradition is to summarize every time he goes out, "It's not good for him to take refuge in anyone. Ding Yuan was supposed to see that he was capable. , let him defend Jinyang, and prevent him from entering Luoyang to make meritorious service."

Yang Feng laughed: "It's not a blessing to follow Ding Yuan, general, I heard from General Gao that you almost became the chief bookkeeper in Bingzhou?"

Lu Bu glared at Yang Feng, and spat out the brush stick from his mouth, "Don't waste time, find a way to take Jinyang down."

Yang Feng restrained his smile: "General, Jinyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the city is besieged, the people inside may be damaged. I see that Zhang Liao is a sensible person. Why don't we send someone to lobby for it? After all, no one wants to be Rebellious ministers and thieves, aren't they?"

Lu Bu felt that this made sense, and he asked, "Who do you think is more suitable to be a lobbyist?"

"Then you must be sharp-tongued." Yang Feng opened his mouth and came, and he was worried. In Lu Bu's army, there are many generals who are skilled in martial arts, and even more are good at fighting and training soldiers, but there are very few people who litigate with their mouths. Not to mention, Li Ru, the military adviser, is still a Confucian general who doesn't talk much.

Lu Bu leaned back on the chair, with his left foot on the edge of the table, "Catch Zhang Liao first."

When Cao Cao brought Xiahou Dun to Bingzhou, what he saw was Lu Bu and Zhang Liao confronting Jinyang.After he left Luoyang, he took his men to Liangzhou for a stroll, then went to Mengdi, and then came to Bingzhou.

Along the way, Cao Cao felt a lot of emotion. Liangzhou surpassed other state capitals in every aspect. If the world in the future is like Liangzhou, then Dahan will be the most powerful country in this land.

Standing on the top of the hill and witnessing a big battle, Cao Cao's mood was ups and downs. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao are both fierce generals, but they are destined not to belong to him. He sighed and asked, "Brother Dun, do you think Yuan Shao and the others will be Dong Zhuo's opponent?"

Xiahou Dun shook his head without thinking, "It's absolutely impossible."

Yes, impossible!Cao Cao's eyes were shining brightly, and he said: "If you want to do meritorious service for the country, you want to be named the Marquis General of the Western Conqueror, and then inscribe the tomb saying 'the tomb of the Marquis Cao, the General of the Western Conquest of the Han Dynasty', this is my ambition."

Xiahoudun glanced at Cao Cao and said, "Didn't Dong Zhuo promise to lead the Liangzhou army if you wanted?"

Cao Cao shook his head, pointed at the battlefield at the foot of the mountain with his whip, and said, "It's better to manage this army by yourself. Look at Lu Bu's army, how brave and good at fighting. You need to follow his example and train such an army. .”

"What about you, brother?" Xiahou Dun was puzzled.

Cao Cao looked in the direction of Jizhou, then in the direction of Luoyang, and got on his horse: "My battlefield is in Luoyang."

Xiahou Dun followed closely behind, "But brother, the direction you are going is Jizhou!"

Cao Cao sighed, "Brother Dun, you are not suitable to be an official, nor a general. You should manage the transportation of food and grass in the future."

Xiahoudun didn't know why Cao Cao said this.

Seeing that Xiahoudun still didn't understand, Cao Cao explained, "Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan and his ilk encouraged the prince to argue for the title of emperor. Ding Yuan lost Bingzhou and had soldiers but no land. What would he do? Yuan Shao is someone who can subdue others? Not to mention Han Fu, Jizhou is his territory, can he hand it over to others? They have different ideas, and it is difficult for the puppet court to become a big weapon. "Let's go to Jizhou and wait for the opportunity. We can take it down when we wait for the opportunity. "

Xiahou Dun suddenly realized, "It's a good idea. If the eldest brother is the shepherd of Jizhou and manages Jizhou as well as Liangzhou, you must have a position in the cabinet. Maybe you can become the chief assistant of the cabinet in the future."

The reform of Lin Yuzhou's official system has not yet been announced, but the Liangzhou Library has relevant materials and official system composition maps. Cao Cao stayed in the library for a long time, and Xiahou Dun followed him, so he naturally paid attention to these.

Cao Cao smiled, beat his horse and ran away.

At the foot of Jinyang Mountain, scouts reported the whereabouts of Cao Cao and his party to Lu Bu.

Hearing what the scouts relayed, Lu Bu snorted lightly. He had never seen Cao Cao's abilities before, but his tone was not small. He wanted to conquer the tomb of General Caohou?There is only one "champion" in the future, and that is Lu Bu! "Take Zhang Wenyuan to the general's big tent." He stretched himself, shaking his neck and said, "The general wants to convince him personally."

Yang Feng glanced secretly at Lu Bu's powerful body, worried that Zhang Liao would be "clicked" by his excitement.He thought so mentally, but he didn't dare to say it. He did as Lu Bu wanted, and he quickly ran towards the camp of the military adviser Li Ru.
