Ten days of waiting is not short, but not long. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Lin Jun took advantage of this time to prepare a lot of things needed for the job, paper, pen, ink, clean bamboo rolls, etc., among which several pieces of neutral clothes were ordered. But the more she prepared, the more uneasy she became.

On the eighth day, she finally couldn't help but ask Guo Jia if there was a similar "talent" in the past, and Xiahou Yuan announced that ten people had passed, whether they would be qualified.

"Definitely not." Guo Jia said it as a matter of course, as if he hated iron and steel, he patted Lin Jun's head, and scolded, "You elm head, if you really become an official in the future, you will definitely suffer." ”

Lin Jun was unconvinced, and argued: "I just don't understand your process." ”

"If you don't understand the process, do you have common sense?" Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Lin Jun, Xu Du is now at the feet of the Son of Heaven...... This is an appointed official position, which can be said by General Xiahou alone? ”

Lin Jun said in her heart, now is now, two thousand years later is two thousand years later, in my sister's era, not to mention that a test paper is a decisive thing, but there are still many things that can be decided by some test papers. In her life, although she stayed longer in ancient times, the establishment of the three views is still in modern times.

"I figured it out, what is the follow-up process? The Chosen One? Lin Jun cheekily continued to ask.

"The ...... of the palace" Guo Jia's eyes widened, this person who is very calm on weekdays seems to lose control when he encounters Lin Jun, "It's a shame that you said it, don't say such rebellious words in the future." Let me ask you, what do you think of the strength of the ten people who passed the martial arts test? ”

"Very average." Lin Jun said frankly, "Among them, there are many people who fish in troubled waters, and there are only more than three people who are really powerful." ”

"Then do you think, why is the number of people who pass this martial arts test set to ten, not five or three?" Guo Jia asked again.

Lin Jun has also been thinking about this question for a long time in the past few days, there were only more than 40 people who participated in the last martial arts test, and ten people can be selected, and the probability of qualifying is too great, and there are indeed many people who fish in troubled waters, it is better to choose three people, and they will definitely be able to pick the best three people.

"Because these people have duplicates with those who have passed the exam." She said after a while.

"Yes, not too stupid." Guo Jia looked like a teachable child, "The Seeking for Talent will say that it is both civil and military, but the really strong generals, such as the General Dian who died before and the current General Xu, are all living in the countryside, and they are like this. ”

"So the number of people is deliberately relaxed. Nominally, it is enough to pass one course for civil and military affairs, but in fact, when you really choose people, you still look at the performance of both sides? Because the third test of martial arts is not only about pure force. Lin Jun said thoughtfully, "But what does that mean?" ”

Guo Jia laughed: "Our Lin Jun is so smart, it's a little bit clear." ”

Lin Jun is actually mentally prepared, the people above the court don't talk nonsense, even if they say something extremely inconspicuous, it may be full of deep meaning.

In the past, she worked under Cao Ang's protective aura, and she was favored by Xun Yu, even if she talked nonsense and didn't look at people's faces, no one dared to do anything to her.

Now it's different, except for Guo Jia, who is "moody" and hangs by the grace of saving her life, she no longer has any allies. In other words, there is no longer anyone to protect her unconditionally.

Not only that, but the court is also more complex than before. In the past, in Yanzhou, although there were few generals and few officials, Cao Cao was the emperor of the soil, everything was up to him, and the whole city was also of one mind, even if there was some friction between subordinates, it would not have much impact on the overall development.

But by this time the form had changed. Cao Cao was nominally ordered by the Son of Heaven not to be subordinate, but in fact he was still coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Although the Son of Heaven has no real power, but after all, he is still the emperor of the dynasty, and those old ministers who came from Luoyang are not vegetarians, and they were able to abandon their wives to save the Son of Heaven when they fled from Li Dao and Guo Yan, and give up food and clothes to the Son of Heaven.

At this time, the court was roughly divided into two camps: the "Son of Heaven faction" and the "Cao Cao faction". A "military advisor sacrificial wine" like Guo Jia, although he is also named in the court, but even the official position was applied for by Cao Cao, in fact, he is the exclusive courtier of the Cao family, and he has not had a penny for the Son of Heaven at all.

In fact, Cao Cao's closest Wenchen generals, only Xun Yu is a real Han official, and the others, to put it in layman's terms, are Cao Cao's retainers. However, it does not mean that Cao Cao's retainers have no status, they are much more powerful than Han officials of the same level. This group of people and Cao Cao can be described as both prosperous and lossy.

At this time, Xun Yu, although he was a Han official, was actually sent by Cao Cao to balance the group of old Han ministers. The more peaceful Xu Du's days are, the majesty of the Son of Heaven will increase day by day, and even a figure like Guo Jia, who seems to be not afraid of heaven and earth, is extremely vague when talking about the power of the Son of Heaven, so as not to provoke public opinion. As of the moment Lin Jun thought of this layer, the power of the Son of Heaven was still a drop in the ocean compared to Cao Cao.

But with the migration of time, after the center of gravity of Cao Cao's headquarters moved to Yecheng, the power of the Son of Heaven began to spread gradually, and there was the famous "Edict of the Cloth and Belt" that the Son of Heaven wrote a blood book on his own clothes and conspired with his courtiers to assassinate Cao Cao.

And the rise of the Son of Heaven during this period is also inseparable from the defection of countless capable people from all over the world to Xu Du. For example, Beihai Kong Rong, he already had an old enmity with Cao Cao, and he was even more arrogant, and after looking down on eunuchs like Cao Cao, he must have come to stand on the Son of Heaven.

The reason why Cao Cao was in a hurry to ask for help was also to strengthen and consolidate his power and fight against people like Kong Rong. So putting aside everything else, he must first find out whose side the person is on this "recruitment".

Xun Yu's next summons is to help Cao Cao pass this pass.

However, according to Lin Jun's own speculation, this recruitment was originally an unusual "meritocracy", and those who came to apply were all reckless and reckless, and if they were recruited, they would definitely be loyal to Cao Cao.

On the ninth day, the list of those who passed the civil and military examination was posted.

Lin Jun originally thought that in this group of people, she didn't know anyone except Chen Deng, and since she had been announced by Xiahou Yuan, it didn't matter if she looked at the list or not. In the end, out of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, the idea of not being defeated in a hundred battles still followed to join in the fun, wanting to remember other people's names, so that they would be easy to distinguish in the future and deal with trouble.

But she didn't want to, at a glance, the two ranking words on the list still surprised her. (To be continued.) )
