Not to mention that Han Fu was overjoyed after getting Yuan Shao's letter, not only did he feel that Yuan Shao did not have the intention of annexing Jizhou, but also decided to unite with Yuan Shao to promote this matter, but said that Chang'an, Dong Zhuo had already received the documents sent by Ma Qiang.

Since hiding in the gate, Dong Zhuo has begun to indulge in pleasure.

Dong Zhuo is too old after all, and he has no heirs, what he thinks about now is more about how to enjoy himself more when he is alive, which is called a day and night sheng song, all night long, as if he has made up for the years he lost in Xiliang.

In the room, Dong Zhuo was yawning and lying on the Hu bed, a group of dancers were dancing, and Li Ru was sitting on the side.

"Ma Qiang Qingzhou" Dong Zhuo snorted, closed his eyes and said, "Wen You, how do you think this matter is handled?" ”

Li Ru stroked his beard and said, "The princes of Kwantung really began to kill each other, and the Taishi can rest assured now." ”

Li Ru first said useless, and then continued, "After the imperial court moved the capital, the impact on the Kanto region was greatly reduced, since this Ma Qiang hopes to wait for the approval of the imperial court, the imperial court also needs to show its authority in the Guandong, it is better to be a favor, and act with it in the future." ”

Dong Zhuo sat up, looked at Li Ru and asked strangely, "Take advantage of this?" ”

Li Ru nodded and said, "Among the princes of Kwantung, Ma Qiang, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu are the strongest, as long as they are willing to accept our canonization, then in the future, they can use this to provoke them to fight each other, and when they are tired of fighting, it will be time for the imperial court to return to Kanto." ”

Dong Zhuo yawned, nodded and said, "Then you can do it, I'm tired, retreat." ”

Li Ru gave up his hand and retreated, and when he arrived outside the house, listening to the sound of singing and dancing inside, Li Ru couldn't help sighing.

Although Dong Zhuo maintained the brutality of the past, how long could he maintain the majesty of the Taishi after losing his ambition? I don't know how many people in this Chang'an City want them to die, if it goes on like this, is this Chang'an really safe for them.

Li Ru came to Shangshutai and officially issued an edict, worshiping Ma Qiang as the assassin of Qingzhou on the grounds that Ma Qiang had made a meritorious contribution to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and agreed to the three county guards on Ma Qiang's table.

At this time, in the Plains Middle School, Ma Qiang's imperial examination was about to begin.

Since it is the first imperial examination, everyone has no experience, this inexperience is not only for students, but also for Ma Qiang, Ma Qiang has taken many exams, but has never organized it, but even so, Ma Qiang still has some experience in cheating or something, after all, a little witch in his own family even uses radio cheating

"In order to prevent entrainment and fraud and ensure the fairness of the imperial examination, all students' clothes need to be removed, shoes and socks can only be single-layered, the brush and pen tube need to be hollowed out, and the inkstone should not be more than an inch thick" Guo Jia read the issued examination instructions and nodded from time to time.

"It seems that this imperial examination is not a whim, but Ma Qiang has premeditated, otherwise where can such a careful rule and regulations be formulated in such a short period of time." Guo Jia said secretly in his heart, and then looked at the students like him around him, some were busy undressing, and some were asking where to buy compliant pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The imperial examination cannot be said to be unfamiliar to the people of the Han Dynasty, because according to the inspection system of the Han Dynasty, it was originally required that the recommended person need to go through the examination of the five strategies, and if he fails the examination, he cannot be selected, just because the system has become more and more corrupt, and this so-called examination has become a formality.

The biggest difference between the imperial examination and the examination is not whether to take the examination, but whether you can register independently.

The greatest significance of the imperial examination is that it reduces the local control over the import channels of officialdom and puts it under the control of the central government.

"Come and see! Today's newspaper has sample questions for the imperial examination! A student shouted waving a newspaper.

With a shout, everyone scrambled around the man with the newspaper.

Guo Jia didn't fight, but went out of the hostel directly through the window, found the newsboy and bought a newspaper, and then sat at the stall in the morning and read it carefully.

"The imperial examination is divided into different subjects, and the examination questions of different subjects are different, and I applied for the military strategy subject, so it is so, but they are all practical questions."

Guo Jia and others are preparing for the imperial examination, and so is Ma Qiang.

"All students need to take pictures first, to prevent the gunman from taking the test, and the sergeant will search the body when entering the test, Duan Ying, you personally supervise the assassination history, and transfer Xu He and Sima Ju's soldiers and horses, most of them have nothing to do with the soldiers to be examined, and the chance of problems is minimal." Ma Qiang said to Duan Ying and Jia Xu that the sorted out method of science and technology: "After the exam, you must first paste your name with a piece of paper, number the volume, and copy it again to prevent marks and recognize handwriting, and then multiple people cross the paper to prevent the subjectivity of the marker." ”

"Ming Gong is such a method of imperial examination, it can be used for eternity." Duan Ying looked at Jia Xu and said, Jia Xu couldn't help nodding.

Jia Xu has always admired Ma Qiang, and can always think of a systematic way to solve the problem.

"Okay, then let's do it, first organize the candidates to take pictures, and let Lin Zhi be in charge of this, she is the most familiar with photography now." Ma Qiang couldn't help but think of the photo of the Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu that had been framed by himself, although it was a little blurry, it was still a priceless treasure.

After talking about the imperial examination, Ma Qiang began to continue to talk about the Yellow Turban resettlement in Qingzhou and the affairs of Beihai and Donglai counties.

"Zilong called, Xu He met with Guan Hai after arriving in Le'an, Guan Hai still has doubts about joining our army, he has led the army to Duchang, and it seems that he has the intention of avoiding our army."

"There is already news that Han Fu and Yuan Shao have a gap, and Qingzhou must be completely taken as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to fight against Yuan Shao who took Jizhou.

Immediately send a telegram to Zhao and Lin, if Guan Hai still does not reply within five days, he will eat Guan Hai's army under Beihai City first! ”

In Ma Qiang's heart, the biggest opponent at this time is not Cao Cao or Liu Bei, who has no place to stand, but Yuan Shao, who can swallow Hebei at any time.

"What about Xuzhou Tao Qian?"

"The Mi family has already helped us hand over the letter that we have repaired, and Tao Qian's reply has also arrived, so please take a look at it." Jia Xu handed the letter to Ma Qiang.

Ma Qiang took it and looked at it, nodded and said, "Tao Qian has promised to sell us grain and grass, but he wants ordnance and war horses, it seems that his ambition is really not to stay in Xuzhou to retire." ”

"Ordnance and horses? Where is he going to use his troops? After thinking for a while, Duan Ying smiled and said, "It must be Yuzhou!" ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Among the thirteen states in the world, the population is the most in Jing, Hebei, Yi, and Henan, just like we hope to win Jizhou, he Tao Qian must also hope to win Yuzhou.

For Tao Qian, the Peiguo of Yuzhou is extremely important, if the Peiguo is taken, the southwest half of Xuzhou will be guaranteed, and the Central Plains can be captured when you retreat! ”

Peiguo, Ma Qiang looked at the map, Peiguo and Xiaopei are two concepts, Xiaopei is Pei County, Pei County is a county, Pei County is a city located at the top of Peiguo, if Xuzhou has Peiguo, then there is a bayonet that can stab Yanzhou at any time and a shield to defend the southwest, and this bayonet is Xiao Pei, which is why Xiao Pei is so important when Tao Qian, Liu Bei and even Lu Bu seized Xuzhou.

"Xiao Pei is not so important to me now, let him fight if he wants to fight, what we need is food, otherwise before the autumn harvest next year, we in Qingzhou may not be able to fight."
