[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

One New Year's festival made the Spring Festival couplets popular across the country, and the supply of Luoyang red paper was in short supply, which also made Luoyang Zhifang a fortune.The people all said that this was His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, but only Liu Xie knew that the matter of the Spring Festival couplets was purely unintentional.

After the trend of Spring Festival couplets became popular, scholars held clear talks again, and pairing pairs became a new fashion, and how to stump each other became a matter of painstaking research for them.Therefore, various prizes and punishments have been derived. No matter what kind, Liangzhou fine wine and Liangzhou bitter tea have become the most popular items sold in the market.

However, all this excitement came to an abrupt end when March came, and the atmosphere in every place, including those within the sphere of influence of the puppet court, became tense.Affected by the aristocratic family, some scholars disdain to take the scientific examination, but more are the students with long-term vision. They see clearly the future situation of the aristocratic family, and resolutely rush to the provincial examination center, and the six test centers are operating in an orderly manner.

The Luoyang Gongyuan was completed in mid-February. After half a month of decoration, all the decorations were completed when the township examination was approaching.The township examination began on the ninth day of March. Before that, the door of the Gongyuan was closed.

There are a total of 52 inns in Luoyang, large and small. In order to facilitate the accommodation of students from all over the country, the government assigned numbers to these inns. Only the inns with the township examination brand are the official student inns.

"Brother, walk slowly." A chubby kid on the street called a tall and handsome young man, "I'm going to the exam room in a few days, are you nervous?"

"It's just a small rural exam, why would I be nervous?" Although the young man said so, his slightly pale lips betrayed his true thoughts, and he took the child to the bookstore on the right, "I still need to prepare some pens and ink Paper inkstone."

After the young man and the child left, Liu Xie came out from the opposite restaurant. He happened to see the backs of two people in the crowd, "General, I know those two people."

"Huh?" Lin Yuzhou lowered his head and asked, "How did Your Majesty know the students of today's science?"

"After the completion of the Great Han Academy Palace, they visited it. We talked. The tall one is called Sima Lang, and the short kid is called Sima Yi. Although Sima Lang is the elder brother, Sima Yi is much smarter than him."

Sima Yi?Lin Yuzhou raised his head and looked at the bookstore opposite. That chubby dumpling is the famous Sima Yi in history?To be honest, this made him a little disillusioned, so Sima Yi was about the same age as Liu Xie?Isn't Zhuge Liang only this old?

With Liu Xie, it was not convenient for Lin Yuzhou to go to the bookstore. Besides, what could he say when he met Sima Yi?Sima Yi is still so young, should he encourage the other party to study hard and make progress every day?

After sending Liu Xie back to the palace, Lin Yuzhou returned to his mansion, saw Ji Shengyan at the door, and told him about meeting Sima Yi, "I really didn't expect that he was only this age, and I expected to see him in the township examination." name."

"The Sima family is a wealthy family in Hanoi. It is not easy for Sima Lang to participate in the scientific research. The head of the family, Sima Fang." Ji Shengyan accompanied Lin Yuzhou to the mansion. "There is no shortage of vision and strategy. It is no wonder that the Sima family can go so far."

Lin Yuzhou smiled and said: "If there is no other opponent, Xie Yuan from the Luoyang Township Examination will probably be taken away by Sima Lang."

After the two entered the study room, Ji Shengyan showed Lin Yuzhou the information submitted by Jia Xu, "Sima Lang in Luoyang, Zhou Yu in Yangzhou, Lu Su in Xuzhou, Zhuge Jin in Liangzhou, and Fazheng in Bingzhou are the most prominent test centers. The scientific research is the stage for them to show off."

Is the first imperial examination so scary?Lin Yuzhou felt like breaking out in a cold sweat. These few are all famous celebrities of the Three Kingdoms!It’s just that after adding Xuzhou, there are six test centers in the township examination, but only five people were circled by Ji Shengyan in intelligence, “There are no outstanding students in Yizhou?”

"After Yuan Shao pushed Liu Bian to become emperor, Zhuge Xuan abandoned his official position and took his nephew Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Jin lived in seclusion in Jingzhou. Later, he sent Zhuge Jin to Liangzhou College. In this way, Zhuge Jin, who was supposed to go to Yizhou to take part in the provincial examination, died because of Liangzhou. Because of the relationship with the state college, you can stay in Wuwei to take the scientific examination."

After listening to Ji Shengyan's explanation, Lin Yuzhou laughed. He shook the paper in his hand, "This is the first imperial examination in the world. It's a bloodbath."

A smile flashed in Ji Shengyan's eyes, "In the future, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Xun, Pang Tong and others will take the imperial examination together, what is that called?"

"The gods fight." Lin Yuzhou was suddenly glad that he no longer had to take the imperial examination. Wouldn't it be a tragedy if he took the imperial examination with these people?A life of doubt that will be hit, right?

On the ninth day of March, it will arrive in a flash.At a quarter of an hour, the gate of the Gongyuan opened, the guards were in place, the proctors and inspectors were in place, and four inspectors stood at the gate. The students passed the inspection one by one according to the number plates they received when they entered the city.

A total of 370 students participated in the Luoyang Township Examination. After entering the Gongyuan, the students followed the number plate issued by the inspector to find their own number house.The dormitory is not spacious, and the things inside are simpler, a chopping board that can be used as a bed and a desk, a stool, a uniform bedding, a charcoal stove, a kettle, etc., and vegetarian dry food for candidates, which is convenient Soup cakes, the eating method is written on the wall of the house.

At a quarter of an hour, the gong sounded in the Gongyuan, and the guards entered the arena. One person stood in front of each dormitory. At the same time, the chief examiner began to read the rules of the examination room.

Every step was full of a sense of ritual, and the atmosphere in the examination room became solemn. Not only the examinees, but even the examiners had a strong sense of mission.

The first scientific examination was not as popular as later generations, but most of the students who participated in the imperial examination also had real talents, so no student fainted or went crazy due to emotional instability in the examination room, and everyone is safe Survived the first day of the exam.

In the palace, Liu Xie walked back and forth in the bedroom. This was the biggest thing he did after becoming emperor. He was very nervous, but he didn't want his nervousness to be seen by Lin Yuzhou and the others, worrying that they would be disappointed.

Finally, it was late in the evening, Liu Xieshi ate his dinner without taste, and he lay down on the bed in the dormitory with a more nervous mood than a student.After three days of tossing and turning, the township examination was finally over. Not only did the students feel liberated, but Liu Xie also felt liberated. After these few days of "torture", he felt that when he would take the exam, he would be able to deal with it in peace. .

The three-day township examination is finally over, and some things need to be dealt with urgently.In order to prevent certain wealthy families from destroying the imperial examinations, the provincial examinations are extremely strict, with military guards and spy surveillance. All unstable factors are firmly controlled. After the students leave the Gongyuan after the examinations, the imperial court will take action against these people. .

Three days after the provincial examination, the army and the secret agents cooperated to arrest all those who tried to sabotage the scientific examination. At the same time, the imperial court's decree was also conveyed to all places, "execute on the spot, no tolerance", accompanied by these eight characters , the six township examination test sites, a bloodbath.

In the Liyang law field, Dong Yuan personally supervised the execution. Due to the crime of not being implicated by the court, only the culprit was executed. Even so, it was enough to deter the group of people in the dark.

Outside the execution ground, Zhou Yu rolled up his sleeves and looked at the weeping family members, his expression did not change at all. If he dared to touch the tiger's whiskers, he would bear the consequences of angering the tiger. away.

"The one above is Dong Zhuo's daughter." Sun Ce walked behind Zhou Yu, "Very powerful."

Zhou Yu glanced sideways at Sun Ce, "You admire her a lot? It just so happens that my aunt is looking for a daughter-in-law..."

"Daughter-in-law?" Sun Ce only paid attention to the second half of the sentence, "Looking for Quan'er?"

"Hehe." Regarding Sun Ce's attitude of pretending to be confused, Zhou Yu gave him a meaningful look, "How old is Quan'er now?"

"Oh, forget it, what are you talking about?" Sun Ce waved his hand, frowned and said: "After the township exam is over and you are sent to Luoyang for the national exam, I will go to my father, and the battlefield is my destination. "

A gleam of light flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, he didn't say anything, and turned his gaze back to the execution ground.

Three of the people executed by Dong Yuan this time were from the Yangzhou wealthy family. When they were arrested, the other party resisted desperately. Unfortunately, the guards they raised were not opponents of the Liangzhou army at all. Those who had despised the Liangzhou female army were also severely punished. slapped in the face.

"The Liyang Township Examination Fraud Case involved 18 people, six of whom were sentenced to death, and 12 were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to ten years depending on the severity of the case." After leaving the court, Ma Chao sorted out the relevant case files, He said to Dong Yuan, "I don't know what's going on in other places?"

"It is said that Mr. Cao of Xuzhou killed a group of people with bad intentions long before the provincial examination. As for Liangzhou and the three places, he was deeply influenced by his father, and the family sent their children to Liangzhou College early, even those who did not study in Liangzhou College , and send the children to the local private school, don’t worry. What the enemy most wants to destroy should be the Luoyang Township Examination.”

Ma Chao curled his lips and said, "That's really breaking ground for Tai Sui, and he deserves it when he dies."

"Who deserves to die?" Sun Ce drove the carriage from the street, he jumped off the shaft and asked Ma Chao, "Who are you talking about?"

Ma Chao didn't answer, he pointed to the carriage and asked, "Why did you start working as a coachman? Who's in it?"

Sun Ce sighed. In order for his friend to help him cope with his mother's urging marriage, he agreed to take care of his friend's daily life and be a "special servant" for a period of time during his visit to Luoyang.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a handsome young man walked out of it. Even Dong Yuan, who was raised by her family and had a high aesthetic, had to praise Zhou Yu, a handsome young man, gentle and gentle.

Sun Ce introduced Dong Yuan and Ma Chao, "This is my good friend, Zhou Yu." After speaking, he looked at Zhou Yu again and said, "This is General Dong Yuan and General Ma Chao."

Dong Yuan and Zhou Yu greeted each other, and after they had almost spoken, they left. Although she admired such a scholar, Dong Yuan also knew how to measure, and besides, she still had things to deal with at hand.

Watching Dong Yuan leave, Sun Ce turned to Zhou Yu and asked, "Gong Jin, what are you looking at?" Zhou Yu kept staring at Dong Yuan's back, and it was hard for anyone not to pay attention.

Hearing Sun Ce's question, Ma Chao also turned his attention to Zhou Yu.

"It was Gongjin who was rude." Zhou Yu smiled slightly and explained, "I'm just a little surprised. General Dong Yuan has achieved outstanding military exploits and accomplished things that many women can't achieve, but she doesn't seem to have arrogance." Zhou Yu couldn't imagine this. Even a man should be proud to be like Dong Yuan.

"She has arrogance." Among the three, Ma Chao knew Dong Yuan best, and he said, "Her arrogance is only displayed on the battlefield."

Zhou Yu thought of the Liangzhou army, and praised: "The Liangzhou army is invincible in all battles, and Gong Jin admires it."

Sun Ce was not happy: "In the future, Sun Jiajun will not be bad."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly. What he didn't say was that in the future, no matter whether the Liangzhou Army or Sun Jiajun, or Cao Jun, Liu Jun, etc., will be reorganized in chaos, what the big man needs is a united and unified army, and regional differences may always exist. , but cannot become an obstacle against the enemy.
