Chapter 203: Ten People
Although it seems that the Son of Heaven wants to let Zhang Shizhi go, and also makes him make a big order for one of the Nine Qings.
However, the courtiers in the court, no one is a fool, and they still have some understanding of the temperament of the current son of heaven, not to mention anything else, they don't run away from hate.
Letting go of Zhang Shizhi so easily is really a bit unbelievable.
Solidly, according to common sense, if the degraded officials can return to Chang'an, their homes must be full of guests.
And because of this, there are not many people in Zhang Shizhi's home.
Only Yuan An, Dou Ying and others, as well as some old ministers left over from the Wen Dynasty, came here to visit him.
Zhang Shizhi himself was not a person who liked to have anything to do with others, but he was also idle.
However, Liu Rong was already busy meeting those scholars who had passed the imperial examination at this time, so naturally he didn't have the time to go to Zhang Shizhi's mansion.
Although there was no opportunity for leisure, Liu Rong still prepared a gift and ordered Wang Sheng to send it to Zhang Shizhi's mansion.
And for these scholars who take the imperial examination, Liu Rong still attaches great importance to it.
However, when he did not see his face, he sent someone to bring him some silk brocade and money.
For a person like Cao Zheng, who was born in a family of ten thousand households, he naturally would not look at it in his eyes, but for those who were born in an ordinary family, it was like a charcoal in the snow.
However, among the ten people who passed the examination this time, several of them were from civilian backgrounds.
However, when Liu Rong sent someone and his bonus, he did it with ingenuity.
Let the master father Yan go to Yan Yi, Sima Xiangru, and Gongsun Hong to give money, and Ling Ji Di go to the righteous gift from Hedong County,
However, it was Zhou Dechuan, who made Zhang Tang learn from Huang Lao.
Although the master father Yan is a person who has been labeled as Confucianism, he is very resentful of the Confucianist in his heart.
Especially Xiang Yanyi, a person from a Confucian family, is even more disgusted with it in his heart.
Not to mention Ji Di and Zhang Tang, the Fa family and Huang Lao are already mortal enemies at this time.
Yi Zong is a well-known cool official in Liu Yuchao, and the heroes from all over Guanzhong are terrified when they hear his name.
Even Ning Cheng, who is also a cool official, was apprehensive when he saw Yizong.
Sima Qian once called it and Zhidu together in the "Biography of the Cool Officials in the Historical Records", saying that "although it is cruel, Si calls it the position".
Ling Jidian and Zhang Tang exchanged edicts to each other, which can be said to be the most annoying people in them............
Of course, this is Liu Rong's deliberate, in the future, these people will all have to work together under their own hands, if there is too much estrangement, the future will be out of control.
It is better to take advantage of this opportunity to make these people come into contact with the people they are most tired of, and they will not be able to change after that.
When Liu Rong saw the list of ten people selected, Liu Rong felt that this was simply a joke on himself.
Among these people, it can be said that they are mortal enemies above the original history.
If Yan Yi died in the hands of Zhang Tangzhi, the master father Yan forced Liu Cichang, the king of Qi Li, to death, and it was under the persuasion of Gongsun Hong that Liu Yu decided to execute the master father Yan to settle the matter.
Now this group of people will gather around them in the future, and if they are still enemies of each other as in history, it will be a big thing.
Because of this, Liu Rong will come up with such a method.
……………………………………………………………………
However, the master's father Yan and Zhang Tang are both people who are the only ones who obey Liu Rong, no matter who they are asked to pass the message to, even if they don't want to do it in their hearts, they will go, and Liu Rong ordered Ji Di to pass the message to a cool official in the future, and Ji Di is very reluctant to do it.
But seeing that the other two people all responded, they had to bite the bullet and say: "The minister obeys the orders of His Highness!" ”。
Even though this person was a thief when he was young, he didn't know who he worshipped, but he was able to learn the study of the Legalist, and after hearing that there was this imperial examination in Chang'an City, he immediately drove to Chang'an by car.
When Liu Rong arrived in Hedong County, Yizong had seen Liu Rong from afar, but this was not the most important, the most important thing was that Liu Rong punished Zhou Yangyou, the governor of Hedong at that time, so Yizong was grateful to Liu Rong.
However, his family was originally in the Anyi of Hedong, and it was also regarded as a wealthy family, and his family had dozens of hectares of land, and he could also live the life of a rich son in Hedong.
And when Zhou Yangyou was transferred to the governor of Hedong, it changed at this time, Zhou Yangyou fell in love with his family's fertile land on the south bank of the river, and then he forcibly seized it, and Zhou Yangyou asked people to buy this land for only one-fifth of the market price.
In this way, how could the father of righteousness be willing, but Zhou Yangyou is in Hedong County, even if he is the Taishou Shentu Gong of Hedong, he does not dare to offend him easily.
What's more, it was a small landlord Haoqiang, who heard the words of his subordinates, and his family did not want to do it, so he fabricated a crime at will and arrested his father in prison.
Later, he seized all the assets of his family, and ruined his family, so that Yizong became a robber.
Solidly, when he heard that it was his benefactor, Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, who was going to carry out the imperial examination to recruit the officials of the imperial court, Yizong traveled all the way to Chang'an, and traveled all the way for more than 20 days before he rushed to Chang'an and was able to participate in this imperial examination.
But he came from Chang'an, and he didn't bring extra money on him, so during this period of time, he was tightened and fed, as if he couldn't open the pot.
At this time, Yizong received a letter from a person that he had passed the re-examination of the imperial examination, and in a few days, His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor would summon him.
Seeing this letter, Yi Zong was so happy that he was about to dance with his hands, and this letter seemed to light up his already gray life at this time.
In the days that followed, even though he could only eat some corn porridge every day, Yizong was extremely happy.
However, the day before he met Liu Rong, Ji Di, who came on Liu Rong's order, came.
Yizong lives in a dilapidated place in the west city of Chang'an, but the people who live here are mostly traders in the west city of Chang'an, and this time the personnel are extremely complicated, and Ji Di came here, followed by the carriage, and several of his attendants, it is simply like a bright light suddenly lit up at night, which has attracted the attention of a lot of people.
In this way, after asking several people, Ji Di can be regarded as finding the residence of Yizhong.
Immediately, an attendant stepped forward and slammed the door and said, "Mr. Yizong lives here?" ”。
Hearing the sound of slamming the door outside, Yi Zong immediately rushed out of the room and stepped forward to open the door.
Seeing the door outside the door, Yi Zong saluted: "I don't know if your Excellency is ......?" ”。
Seeing this righteous indulgence, Ji Di was stiffened, and forced out a smile and said: "I am opening it in the service of His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor, and the foot is the righteous indulgence of Hedong Anyi?" ”。
Hearing this, Yi Zong immediately saluted and said: "It's not talented, it's just below."
In this way, Ji Di nodded and said: "It is His Highness who ordered me to pass it early, and when it is time tomorrow, please move to the palace gate, and His Highness wants to see it in person."
"I can be driven by His Royal Highness, this is my luck, tomorrow, in the next time, in the decision to arrive on time."
Then Ji Di ordered someone to take some things from the chariot, took a trailer and handed it to Yizhong's weight: "This is the ten gold given by His Royal Highness to Mr., and there are twenty silk horses, and on this chariot, it is also a gift to Mr."
"I hope that tomorrow, Mr. will arrive on time", after finishing speaking, Ji Di bowed his hand and left.
However, with this paper-making business, Liu Rong is really generous, and those who have passed the imperial examination have not yet met, and they have been given ten gold, if they see it tomorrow, they don't know what to reward.
However, when Ji Di is far away, Yizong is also standing here in a daze, Yizong just wants to say at this time, my life should be enough!
After a long time, he came back to his senses, and immediately, he took the money and all the silk on the car back to his home.
Originally, Yizong was still distressed, and now he didn't even have a decent set of clothes, if he went to see His Highness like this, it would be too rude.
Although there is a silk now, it is impossible to make clothes in one day, and immediately, it is to hold the gold to find a place above everything and buy a clothes.
In the Han Dynasty, clothes were mostly made, and there were almost no places to sell clothes, but this could not stop Yizong from being rich now, and after taking a bath in a wine house, he changed into a very decent looking clothes.

However, when all three of them went to deliver the message and returned, Liu Rong asked: "What do the three Qing families think about these ten scholars who have passed the imperial examination?" ”。
Hearing this, Zhang Tangdang even said: "The minister thinks that the righteousness is indeed a material that can be made."
"Zhang Qing has never met this person, how can he know", Liu Rong knelt on the side and said.
In this way, even if Zhang Tangdang is deflated, it is true that he has not even seen this righteousness, so it seems that he is too eager to say so.
"Minister............ Minister .........", Zhang Tang immediately gave his hand, but he couldn't say a word.
Ji Di, who was standing on Zhang Tang's side, saw that Zhang Tang was deflated, so he snorted coldly and muttered in a low voice: "What a shameless villain."
If it was on weekdays, Ji Di said this, Zhang Tang would definitely make a statement to embarrass him, but at this time, it was His Royal Highness who really made him speechless, and Zhang Tang had to silently endure Ji Di's ridicule.
"Zhang Qing doesn't have to be like this, this righteousness can be regarded as a talent", Liu Rong smiled, and stopped joking.
"What do you think of the two Qing families?" , Liu Rong is asking the master father Yan and Ji Didao.
Ji Di said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhou De of Henan County is a great talent."
Sure enough, even the most selfless people will be so biased in the face of the school dispute.
However, although the master father Yan was a later Confucian, his essence was still a person from a vertical and horizontal family, and he didn't have a good impression of these ten people, but since His Royal Highness asked, he naturally answered.
"Those who can pass the imperial examination set up by His Royal Highness must be talented and learned."
After that, Liu Rong ordered all three of them to retire and leave, but he himself was pacing in the hall for a while, it seems that this imperial examination is not only to select talents, but also to test his own skills.
………………………………………………………………………
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was just dawning, there were several carriages in various places in Chang'an City, heading out of the palace gate from all over the city.
However, Liu Rong originally wanted to summon them in a mansion in Chang'an City, but after thinking about it, it seemed that something was wrong, so he reported it to his father, and obtained his approval, so that they all came to the palace.
Early in the morning, Liu Rong sent people to wait outside Sima's gate, and when all of them arrived, the attendant led everyone to a side hall.
"Squirrels sit here for a while, and Your Highness will come later," and with that, the attendant departed.
So there was no one else in this temple except these ten men.
After they sat down, one of the ten people was a strong man who saluted and said, "I have seen you ...... in Xia Gongsun He."
However, Gongsun He and Cao Zheng are the same as the heirs of the Liehou, but their family does not have a long history like the son of the Pingyang Hou family, but his father was the Marquis of Pingqu, and Gongsun Hun was evil, or when he quelled the rebellion of Wu Chu a year ago, when Zhou Yafu broke the camp of Wu Chu, he made great contributions to the Marquis of Pingqu.
Solid this, Cao Zheng naturally knew Gongsun He, and when he finished speaking, he saw that no one spoke, so he continued to say: "In the next Cao Zheng, I have seen you all enter together!" ”。
When he had finished speaking, the rest of the people reported their own lives and the doctrines they had learned.
However, after some discussion, Cao Zheng and Gongsun He got into conversation and sat down together.
"Brother Cao is here to be ordered by the Marquis of Pingyang?"
Hearing this, Cao Zheng on the side laughed and said, "Yes and no."
"My father did say that he wanted me to participate in this imperial examination, but this is also what I want, and it is really a fluke that I don't want to be able to pass the exam questions prepared by Chao Yushi."
Hearing this, Gongsun He nodded and sighed: "I was forced by my father to come, I thought that at the end of the year, I would go to the Southern Army to join the army, but I didn't want to be forced by my father to do so."
Pingyang Hou Cao Qi and Pingqu Hou Gongsun Hun Evil can be said to be the first to express their stance in the entire Han court.
It is enough to make his son so far, these two candidates have already tied the continuation of their family's wealth and wealth to Liu Rong's chariot.
However, after a while, Liu Rong went to one side of the side hall, took out the paper with the names of ten people, and glanced at it, Liu Rong said to an attendant: "Go and summon Sima Xiangru to the palace."
"No!" , the squire said.
And when this attendant entered the temple and summoned Sima Xiangru to leave, there was no one in the hall who said anything, and they all thought: "Is the next one to me?"
As the attendant entered the hall and stepped into the hall, Sima Xiangru saw Liu Rong sitting in the hall.
When even the salute said: "The minister Sima is similar, meet His Highness."
"Sir, excuse me", Liu Rong got up and smiled, and then said to the king on the side: "Give me a seat."
"Your Royal Highness Xie", originally Sima Xiangru, who has always been full of confidence, but I don't know what happened to His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor now, and he was a little nervous in his heart.
"Mr. left Chang'an to travel, how do you feel about returning to Chang'an this time", Liu Rong asked.
