Liao Hua, Zhou Cang and others have already been waiting outside the gate,

Everyone came to Lu Bu and saluted,

30,000 iron horsemen drove into Hangu Pass Zheng

In the Hanya Customs Office,

Lu Bu sat high on the throne,

Liao Hua respectfully reported in front of him,

"My lord, in the battle of Hangu Pass yesterday, our army killed the enemy chieftain Jiang Qi and Jiang Hu, eliminated more than 3,600 Yuan Shao's defenders, and captured a total of 1,321 defenders. Our troops did not suffer any casualties. ”

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction:

"Okay, very good, this time you can capture Hangu Pass, your department and the dark guard have worked hard, and they are both the first to work."

Liao Hua's face showed joy when he heard this,

At this moment, all the people in the main hall are Lu Bu's henchmen,

Therefore, there is no need to hide the affairs of the secret guard.

It's just that because Shadows and others have never been involved in this kind of affairs,

So I'm not here at the moment.

After a pause, Lu Bu then asked:

"How much baggage is there in this Hangu Pass?"

The smile on Liao Hua's face deepened,

Hurriedly spoke:

"That Yan Liang and Wen Chou thought that the cluster was unbreakable, and they actually hoarded most of their baggage in the cluster, not only 600,000 stones of grain and grass, 200,000 arrows, but also ten bed crossbows and eight trebuchets."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up,

"Hahahaha, Yuan Benchu really has a big family, but he didn't expect that there would be so much baggage in a Hangu Pass. Since he was so generous, I had no choice but to be disrespectful. ”

After a pause, Liao Hua then spoke:

"My lord, in addition, in the military prison of Hangu Pass, we also found a person."

"Oh?"

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows,

Liao Hua has always been known for his stability,

Someone who came out at this time on purpose,

There must be something special about it.

Lu Bu asked with interest:

"What's that man's name?"

Liao Hua opened his mouth and replied:

"This person's name is Fa Yan, and he is from Fufeng Yi County. According to his father, he was originally a celebrity. He was also a senior official of the imperial court, because he was seriously ill, he did not leave with the imperial court, and was later obtained by Yuan Shao, but he refused to serve, so he was imprisoned here by Yan Liang and others. I was originally going to send it to Yecheng, but we got it. ”

After Liao Hua, he raised his head and looked at Lu Bu,

was wondering why he didn't follow,

Who knew that Lu Bu was stunned on the spot at the moment,

Liao Hua hesitated and greeted:

"Lord, lord?"

"Ahh

Only then did Lu Bu react,

Hurriedly asked:

"What's the name of the man you just had?"

"Fa Yan."

"Fufeng Yiren?"

Liao Hua nodded.

A smile appeared on Lu Bu's face,

"Less than forty?"

Now it's Liao Hua's turn to be a little confused,

Nodding his head, he opened his mouth and said suspiciously:

"Does the Lord know this man?"

Lu Bu ignored Liao Hua's question,

The opening interrupted:

"Where is he? Take me there. ”

"Uh."

Liao Hua still didn't react,

Lu Bu jumped in front of Liao Hua,

A handful of hands grabbed him,

dragged towards the door,

As you walk, you can't wait to authenticate:

"Hurry up and take me to meet you, and we'll talk about the rest."

Fa Yan may not be known to many people,

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this person has not appeared either.

In the history of the Three Kingdoms,

He once served as Situ Peng, the left supervisor of Tingwei,

He doesn't have much fame and ability in his own right.

But he had a good father,

And have a good son.

His father Fa Zhen, the word Gao Qing,

He was a famous scholar and scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

He has a lot of attainments in the classics of the hundred schools of thought and the study of the weft.

Known for its high spirits,

He has the title of 'Mr. Xuande'.

This mystery refers to the study of the weft,

As for virtue, he is of high moral character.

Son of Pharyn,

The name is Fazheng, the word filial piety is straight,

At the earliest, it was Liu Zhang's subordinates,

Later, Liu Zhang was persuaded to surrender to Liu Bei,

Become a strategist under Liu Bei.

can even be one of Liu Bei's most relied on arms,

Even Zhuge Liang sighed to himself,

Zhuge Liang once:

"The lord is also in the public security, the north is afraid of Cao Gong's strength, the east is afraid of Sun Quan's compulsion, and the near is afraid of Mrs. Sun's change under the elbow; At that time, the advance and retreat of the wolf, the law and filial piety are directly auxiliary wings, so that they soar and cannot be copied. ”

Even the eloquent Cao Cao once had:

"I have collected all the treacherous males, and I can't do justice alone?"

It is precisely because of this that Lu Bu

will be out of shape to Si,

Fa Yan is here now,

So is it possible for Fa Zheng to run far?

Not long after, under the leadership of Liao Hua,

Lu Bu came to the outside of a cross-courtyard in the official office,

Although it is a little remote here,

But the view is good,

It's also quite clean,

Obviously, although Liao Hua doesn't know this person,

But they didn't slow down each other,

nodded at Liao Hua with satisfaction,

Then he motioned for him to lead him into the courtyard.

The courtyard was empty,

Only two of the guards were here.

After seeing Lu Bu and the others, he bowed and saluted.

Walking to the main hall,

I saw a middle-aged scribe sitting upright in the room,

Holding a book in his hand, he was reading it carefully.

Lu Bu took a closer look,

I saw that this man had a clear appearance,

But there is an air of elegance,

It's heartbreaking.

Liao Hua took two quick steps and greeted:

"Mr. Law."

The scribe laid down the scroll,

After seeing Liao Hua, he hurriedly got up and said:

"General Liao."

Liao Hua hurriedly returned the salute,

Sideways to let Lu Bu out,

The opening introduced:

"Mr. Fa, this is my father-in-law."

Fa Yan was about to bow down,

Lu Bu walked first and saluted:

"Brother Fa Yan, I have admired my name for a long time. The tutor used to be friends with 'Mr. Xuande', and often talked to me about Brother Ji Mou, and Bu Chang sighed that he couldn't meet the eldest brother, which was really regretted in his life. I finally got what I wanted today, which is really a great blessing in life, hahahaha. ”

Reborn in this era for more than ten years,

Lu Bu has already integrated in,

People of this era,

Especially those literati,

With a strong focus on fame,

Just as many people in later generations have made money by camping.

Lu Bu praised this time,

The law is so full of joy that the heart is blooming,

Coupled with Lu Bu's study under Cai Yong,

And Cai Yong and his father Fa Zhen are also friends,

Therefore, what Lu Bu said was not a deliberately flattering word,

Therefore, Fa Yan immediately said to Lu Bu, who met for the first time,

My heart is full of good fortune

There is a way for everyone to carry a sedan chair,

Lu Bu praised him so much,

Fa Yan was not to be outdone:

"Brother Feng Xianxian has become a brother. The virtuous brother conquered the grassland, established immortal achievements for the imperial court to expand the territory, and then Xingyi soldiers crusaded against the national thief Dong Zhuo, which is really a model for my generation. ”

The two touted each other for a while,

immediately got closer,

Although it was only the first time we met,

But already commensurate with brothers,

After a pleasantry,

It has the meaning of seeing each other late.

After Lu Bu entered the city,

I haven't eaten dinner yet,

Just prepared a banquet to entertain Fa Yan,

Wine over three rounds of dishes over five flavors,

The two are already very acquainted.

Lu Bula said with Fa Yan's hand:

"Brother Ji Mou, I don't know if you have any plans for the future?"

Fa Yan was already seven or eight points drunk at this time,

Hearing Lu Bu's inquiry,

He sighed and said:

"Let the virtuous brother smile, although the brother has ambitions and wants to serve the court, but the dynasty is sluggish, let Xiao be the way. Two years ago, his father died, and his brother was at home, and the Han Emperor was also welcomed to Xu County. Some time ago, I was about to throw myself into it, but I was unexpectedly arrested by Yuan Benchu's people. Alas——。 ”

Lu Bu opened his mouth and persuaded:

"Big brother's heart to serve the country, brother admires, come, brother respects you."

Fa Yan raised his glass and drank the water and wine,

Then he spoke:

"Today, we have entered a troubled world. It is the time when the man has made great achievements, but he has become a prisoner of the rank for his brother, alas, ashamed. ”

Lu Bu couldn't help but smile when he heard this,

That's what he's waiting for,

Hurriedly spoke:

"Why did the eldest brother say this, don't you look down on your younger brother?"

"Why did Brother Xian say this?"

Fa Yan looked at Lu Bu with some drunken eyes.

"If the former brother doesn't know the whereabouts of the brother, that's fine. But now, you and my brother are drinking together, and although my brother is not talented, he also has some inheritance. If the elder brother has nowhere to go, he can follow the younger brother. Why is it that if you are discouraged, don't you look down on your brother? Don't want to go to my bitter cold land? ”

Lu Bu's face became very ugly,

As if he wanted to be angry,

looked at Fa Yandao angrily.

Only then did Fa Yan realize that he had just said the wrong thing,

hurriedly spoke comfortingly,

After two words of comfort, he suddenly reacted,

The wine seems to have dissipated a lot,

Rubbed his cheeks vigorously a few times,

After making yourself more conscious,

Asked wistfully:

"Brother Xian, is what you just said true?"

Lu Bu glanced at Fa Yan with some annoyance:

"Hmph, it seems that Brother Fa really looks down on me. But I, Lu Fengxian, climbed high. ”

After that,

As if he had been wronged,

Get up and leave.

Fa Yan's reaction became extremely fast at this time,

Hurriedly grabbed Lu Bu's clothes and said:

"Virtuous brother, slowly, slowly, virtuous brother. It's because my brother said the wrong thing, and you listen to my brother's explanation. ”

Lu Bu is a famous general who is full of names in the three armies,

If you really want to leave, how can Fa Yan, a weak scholar, stop you?

But at this time, he was dragged by Fa Yan and couldn't move.

But he didn't answer,

Turned his face and deliberately didn't look at Yan.

Fa Yan was embarrassed and hurriedly explained:

The foolish brother had just drunk too much for a while, so he was a little unscrupulous and expressed some emotion, but he didn't mean to target the virtuous brother. Don't blame the virtuous brother, otherwise, otherwise the foolish brother is really, really ...... Alas........."

Fa Yan is an honest man,

Although the family is related and highly educated,

But he is a real person in terms of dealing with the world.

Lu Bu's face was red when he was squeezed by a few words.

Lu Bu peeked at it,

It feels like it's almost time,

Only then did he speak:

"Alas, it seems that it is indeed the younger brother who blames the elder brother."

Fa Yan nodded busily.

Only then did Lu Bu pull Fa Yan and sit down again,

Then he opened his mouth and persuaded:

"My brother is rich and rich, so why can't he serve the court. In this way, my brother is now in the time of employing people, and my brother is willing to come to help my brother? ”

Fa Yan's face showed embarrassment:

"Brother Xian, I ........."

When Fa Yan was still preparing to shirk,

Lu Bu once again showed displeasure and said:

"Brother really looks down on me?"

"No, no, no, that's not what it meant."

Hearing this, Fa Yan hurriedly waved his hand,

The opening explained:

"I'm only afraid that my brother will be sparse and shallow, and I can't share my worries for my virtuous brother."

Lu Bu smiled and said:

"Brother, why should he be arrogant. In this way, now Chang'an is determined, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and it is the time to employ people. First wronged my brother to serve as the commander of Yixian County, I don't know if my brother is willing? ”

Fa Yan was stunned on the spot when he heard this,

He thought that Lu Bu had taken him in,

It's good to be able to give a spare job,

After all, he and Lu Bu have never known each other in their lives,

Although after just talking,

It has the meaning of seeing each other late,

But after all, we only met for the first time.

But he never thought that Lu Bu would appoint him as the head of a county.

Although Yixian is not big,

But it also belongs to the vicinity of Chang'an,

And most importantly,

He was originally born in Yi County,

Although the Legalists are also a family of scholars,

But the strength of his family is not big,

When his father was alive, he was fine,

After Fazhen's death,

The status of the Legalists plummeted,

Now it's almost gone,

Therefore, he was so depressed that he was imprisoned by Yuan Shao's subordinates.

Fa Yan's eyes are ruddy,

Immediately there were tears,

Turn over and kneel on the ground,

But he was grabbed by Lu Bu and said:

"Brother, don't be polite yet. Brother, I will put the ugly words in front first, although the brotherhood between you and me is thick, but on the matter, if the brother is really inappropriate in office, then the brother will not tolerate and cover up. Tell your brother in advance. ”

Fa Yan was not angry but happy when he heard this,

He knew that Lu Bu was talking to him like this,

This is really treating him as his own,

My heart was full of emotion:

"Virtuous brother, ah no, the lord is sincere in his treatment, and he should fight to the death to repay the kindness of the lord."

Lu Bu stepped forward and helped Fa Yan up:

"Brother, why is this so. Come on, let's sit down and have a drink. ”

When Fa Yan heard this, he had no choice but to sit down,

It's just that at this time, it seems to be much more restrained,

After all, identities are different now.

The two of them ate for a while,

Fa Yan seemed to have something on his mind, and he wanted to speak several times and stopped.

Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but ask:

"Brother has something to say, but it's okay."

was seen by Lu Bu on his mind,

Fa Yan was also a little embarrassed,

After a long silence,

Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind:

"Lord, Yan still has a reluctant request."

"But it doesn't matter."

Lu Bu looked at Fa Yan curiously.

Yan has an only son in the family, who has been studying before, and now he has returned from school. Now it's time to relax at home......"

The law is here,

But he kept silent,

But one of the meanings of his words,

Lu Bu understood what he heard.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you want to enter the office,

needs to be raised to be filial piety, or Maocai,

During the Han Dynasty, the system of selecting officials was called the probationary system.

The establishment of the inspection system was in the first year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty (134 BC).

The inspection system is different from the previous pre-Qin period of the hereditary official system,

and the imperial examination system established from the Sui and Tang dynasties,

Its main feature is that it is made up of magistrates,

Inspect and select talents at any time in the jurisdiction,

and recommended to superiors or central,

After a probationary evaluation, an official position is appointed.

Subjects of the Han Dynasty,

It is constantly increasing from less to more;

The number of subjects increased, especially in special subjects.

It was established in response to the need for specialized personnel.

These subjects were uniformly determined by the emperor.

According to the classification of the lifting period,

The subjects of probation can be divided into:

There are two categories of regular (aged) and special branches.

There are four elements of filial piety, Maocai (Xiucai), Chalian (incorruptible), and Guanglu;

Special departments are further divided into common special departments and general special departments.

And at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty,

Due to the growing power of the Shi family,

The selection of talents under this probationary system is basically controlled by the scholars.

Ordinary poor disciples have no hope of entering the ranks,

This completed the fundamental confrontation between the scholars and the Hanmen.

Although Fa Yan is also from a scholar family,

But it's gone,

It's not easy for his son to get into the office.

That's why he opened his mouth and begged Lu Bu.
