Chapter 112: Mixed Fish and Dragons

repay the king's will on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king. -------Tang Dynasty. Li He "Yanmen Tai Shou Xing"

Chen Long witnessed a group of talented people from the Three Kingdoms on the second floor of the Literature Garden, fat or thin, tall or short, beautiful or ugly, rich or poor, all working hard to write articles in order to get ahead. How many people can really be indifferent to the world?

was sighing, Zhang Ning behind him had already carefully looked at the candidates, and pointed out several celebrities of the Three Kingdoms who Chen Long had circled and pointed out to Chen Long to watch. Chen Long cared most about Xu Shu, Lu Su and Li Ru, and secretly wrote down their appearances, but they were far away and couldn't really see them. However, watching it from a distance was enough to make Chen Long's heart surge. It's just a pity, who knows how many spies sent by various forces among these people?

Faced with a mixture of Confucian scholars in the compound, Chen Long secretly thought that if he wanted to use all these people loyally for his own use, he would either have them agree with his own ideas, or he would conquer these forces in one fell swoop. Ambitious people who regard human life as a mustard will be willing to follow a lord like Dong Zhuo, such as Li Ru; A humble gentleman who regards the people as his people will be willing to follow a lord like himself, and Lu Su and Lu Zijing should be such a person.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but add a little confidence in subduing Lu Su, and at this time, Chen Qun had already finished collecting the scroll and announced: "Talents, in three days, the red list will be issued here." Those who are on the list have been admitted. In these three days, please don't be impatient, the scenery of Lingling is beautiful, and it is spring flowers, you can enjoy playing and enjoying the scenery. All the talents applauded, Chen Qun smiled and ordered the beings to dissolve, and his subordinates sent all the bamboo slips collected to Chen Long on the second floor.

Chen Qunhe picked and chose from the pile of bamboo slips, and turned out Xu Shu's poems first, Chen Longxing rushed to pick it up and watch, only to see a four-word ancient poem written on it: "Put the wine in the high hall, and the sad song is coming." Life expectancy, death is like morning frost. Time is not heavy, and Hua is no longer yang. Apple with Chunhui, Lan with Qiufang. The coming days are short, and the going days are long. Short songs can be sung, and there is no wilderness in the long night. (Excerpt from Lu Ji's "Short Song Xing" in the Jin Dynasty)"

Chen Long saw that the poetry was far-reaching, and he admired it in his heart. Chen Qun and others read it, and they were all amazed, and those who can write this poem must be extraordinary people. When I found Xu Shu's article and read it, I saw that he was sprinkled with water, writing about his experience of the Yellow Turban War, the displacement of the people he saw, and his understanding of Lingling's new policy, which mentioned Xu Shu's Lingling development strategy, put forward the important position of Nanyang County on the side of the Son of Heaven, and believed that Lingling should first pass through Jingzhou, take Nanyang, expel Yuan Shu, and move the base to Wancheng. In this way, you can serve the Son of Heaven, become a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and further improve your status in the court; Retreat can send troops to the outskirts of Beijing at any time in the name of protecting the Son of Heaven, isolating the passage between the warlords from all over the country and the inner line of the court, and be invincible.

Chen Long saw it, nodded again and again, and remembered the sentence of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Xu Shu's article already had such a little meaning. Nanyang County is indeed the Tianwang Mountain that will fight with Cao Cao in the future, between himself and Cao Cao, no matter who occupies Nanyang first, the other side will definitely not be able to sleep.

Xu Shu's strategy is just that, what Chen Long values more is that Xu Shu does look at the matter of unifying the world from the perspective of Lingling, which represents his recognition of Lingling's current new policy. This shows that Xu Shu is loyal to himself and can be trusted.

Chen Long smiled at Chen Qun and said, "Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi's article, let's set the third place in the long article." Chen Qun was a little surprised: "Why don't you decide the first and second place?" Pian Pian is the third. Chen Long smiled and said: "Xu Shu gave him the third, and he will also be loyal." These first and second are my bargaining chips to win over the hearts of those who are not so loyal. ”

Chen Qun suddenly realized: "The lord is wise. In the name of the lord's love for talents, these top spies are still needed to spread it, hehe. ”

Chen Long was in high spirits and ordered: "That step boy writes things so fast, bring his article to me to read." ”

The soldiers rummaged through and picked again, and soon turned out Buqi's articles and poems, unfolded them and put them in front of Chen Long. Chen Long saw the dragon flying and the phoenix danced, and the content of his ten policy suggestions for the revival of the Han dynasty and the pacification of the war was his content. Article 9 reads: "Relatives are virtuous ministers, far villains." Go to the traitor and kill the Yellow Gate. Peaceful relatives, move foreign ministers. Soothe the hearts of the people and build people's morality. ”

After looking at it, Long Chen nodded slightly, this step is quick and quick, and he has something to say, he is indeed a young talent. And in the article, there is also a sense of compassion for the heavens and people, which seems to be available.

There are many good articles, and Chen Qun and others began to read the papers nervously. Lu Su's article Chen Long also took a look at it, and felt that he attached great importance to the people, and it was rare to put forward a simulated military strategy, which stated the status of Jingzhou as the place of the four wars, but the focus was to divide Yangzhou to the east or Yizhou to the west, but it was slightly different from Xu Shu's intention to divide Nanyang, and it was very similar to Jia Xu's intention to let Dong Zhuo cut over Liangzhou.

The liberal arts exam was taken early the next morning, and the martial arts exam made a high-profile debut. The people were obviously more interested in the martial arts exam, and the chief examiner was Chen Long himself, so around the empty arena of the martial arts competition by the Xiangjiang River, there was a sea of people who had long been around, and even the branches were full of people, and there were even people who fought for the front row position.

Zhao Yun sent two regiments, Chen Ying and Bao Long, to maintain order in the surrounding area and quickly take the beaters away from the scene. With the sound of the big drum roaring into the sky, although the drum beat is slow, but the sound is majestic and far-reaching, Chen Long rode a flying dragon with a head and tail swing, under the escort of Zhao Yun and Huang Gai, the people saw several senior generals who were like jade and horses, and they bowed down one after another, and the sound of cheering and jumping was everywhere.

Seeing that the people spontaneously cheered, Chen Long knew that his policy of benefiting the people for more than a year had given the people of Lingling confidence in life, and he couldn't help but feel prideful, so he grabbed the silk reins in front of the people, sat on top of the flying dragon, waved his right hand high, and shouted loudly: "Lingling people, today you bow down in front of my horse, I, Chen Long, am grateful, and I want to thank you for your trust in me." Do you know that all people are born equal in this world and have the right to pursue happiness! I hope that in the future, you will no longer have to kneel down in front of anyone, but live up to the sky! I hope that in the future, you will no longer have to worry about life and death, but live in peace! I hope that in the future, you will no longer have to endure the harsh exploitation, but live happily! When the world is unified and the great China is achieved, you will vote for your spokesperson, and we will work together to create a better tomorrow! ”

The people cheered and cheered, and the whistles and applause lasted for a long time, but more people were infected by Chen Long's pride, but they didn't have time to think about the deep meaning of Chen Long's words. Only many wise men in the crowd who had completed the liberal arts examination seemed to be stunned by the earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods in Chen Long's words, among which was the great think-tank of Eastern Wu in later generations, the Metropolitan Governor Lu Su Lu Zijing.

At that time, the wise men were bound by feudal etiquette and religion, although their intelligence was superior, but they rarely had such radical ideas, and the people of the world would not want the people to be the masters of the house. Chen Long's words made everyone in the world taste it, and Liu Ba, who was standing among the officials, also frowned, and his heart was also stirred up.
