However, Liu Rong completely underestimated the desire of the Han family to become officials, and after the news spread in Chang'an, it spread from Chang'an to the land of internal history, and then the entire Guanzhong was boiling because of this.

The official of the hundred stones is placed in the place, and there may be some oil and water to be fished, but in a place like Chang'an, where the ministers are everywhere, the officials of the hundred stones are completely insignificant.

It is said that the prime minister's seven-grade official in front of the door, as an official of a hundred stones, may not be as good as a doorman slave who has no official position in the prime minister's mansion.

If it were on weekdays, such a small official would be elected, and the literati at the bottom of the society might be excited, and those princesses, especially the heirs of the princes, would definitely be completely disdainful.

Who is the heir of the son of Liehou, that is the first candidate for the husband of the princess of the Han family, since Emperor Gao Liu Bang, in the past 50 years, the royal princess of the Han family has almost always married the son of Liehou.

However, even the daughter of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, is the same, except for the Nangong princess who has married the Huns, the rest will definitely marry the Liehou who has just inherited the title, or the eldest son of the Liehou.

Because of this, Liu Rong wanted to see how Cao Shi, the eldest son of Pingyang Hou Cao Qi, was doing, and wanted to marry Tang Ji's daughter to him.

Since they are all going to get married, it is better to let themselves take the opportunity to win over the ranks of the DPRK and the central government.

However, by chance, at that palace banquet, Liu Rong finally met Cao Shi himself.

He also looks like a military general, and he has a good appearance, but after Liu Rong talked with him for a while, he felt that he was completely like a scholar.

At that time, Liu Rong was also emotional, and he couldn't complain that Cao Xueqin would write like this in the dream of Red Mansions about why the sons of Ning Rong's two marquis mansions, who were crowned the princes of the country with their military merits, were like this, and they couldn't help but feel weak.

Anyi's life has been going on for too long, not only for the princes and generals, but also for the entire country.

However, this election of officials can't stop the incomparably huge political resources behind this hundred-stone official.

Even Cao Qi, the Marquis of Pingyang, who was favored by the Son of Heaven, had the idea of letting his youngest son Cao Yan participate in the imperial examination.

At this time, Sima Xiangru, who had just come out of Shu County and traveled to the north and south of the Han family, originally thought that he would be so talented and learned, and he would definitely be appreciated by the Son of Heaven.

But I don't want to, today's Son of Heaven is a person who is completely uninterested in poetry, so he took all the savings of his family and exchanged him for a Lang official, but he didn't want His Majesty to dislike it, so he had to resign and leave.

Later, after a while, by chance, he met Zhuang Ji, who was a guest of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, who was also good at filling in words and doing fu, and Zhuang Ji was greatly moved after seeing Sima Xiangru's fu, there is such a great talent in the world.

He said to him that if there is nowhere to go, he can go to the Liang country, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, loves the music and the law very much, and the king of Liang will be rich and noble.

However, Sima Xiangru's father died, so he had to go back to Shu to mourn, and it was not until the mourning period passed that he made up his mind to go to Liang to join the king of Liang, and then set off from Shu County to Liang State.

Shu County is far away from Liang State, Sima Xiangru hurriedly ran from Shu County to Liang State, and when he entered Suiyang City, he heard that Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was in Chang'an at this time.

had to find a house to live in and wait for the return of King Liang, but Sima did not wait for Liu Wu to return, but waited for the news that the emperor's eldest son, Liu Rong, was going to take the imperial examination in Chang'an.

When he heard that no matter his origin, place of origin, or even the fact that he was a member of any school, Sima Xiangru was excited, although he had been away from Chang'an for more than a year, he also knew that Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, was a rising star of the Han family.

What kind of Liang King did he go to, seeing that he had a bigger backer to rely on, he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity in front of him.

Although the date for this imperial examination has not yet been decided, Sima Xiangru is still afraid that he will be too late and will not have the opportunity to be reused by the future prince.

After making up his mind, Sima Xiang said that he would leave, took out almost half of the assets he had with him, found a carriage, and went to Chang'an.

At this time, there were many people who had some general ideas like Sima Xiangru, and they were all trying to go to Chang'an.

However, since Liu Rong's father, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, ordered Chao Cuo to assist him from the side, then Liu Rong naturally wanted to meet Chao Cuo and talk to him about the imperial examination.

In what to say, Liu Rong is still a prince at this time, not a prince, and Chao Cuo is the imperial historian who is the deputy prime minister of the three public positions, of course, it is not Chao Cao's turn to come to the palace to find Liu Rong, and Liu Rong has to go to the imperial historian's office.

In this way, just one day, Liu Rong drove out of the palace in a car, and when he arrived in front of the Imperial Doctor's Office, he ordered someone to hold his own talisman and go to the ceremony, and after a while, he saw Jia Yi walking out of his house unhurriedly.

As soon as he saw Liu Rong who was at the gate of the mansion, he made a salute and said with a smile: "The minister has seen His Royal Highness."

"Don't make a mistake in the public gift", Liu Rong is a salute.

Then, Chao Cuo stretched out his hand and asked, "Please move to the Imperial Doctor's Office!" ”。

Liu Rong naturally knows about Chao Wrong's temperament, and the biggest difference between him and the rest of the ministers is his pride, so in Liu Rong's opinion, it is already good that he can personally greet him.

When they arrived in the main hall, after the two of them sat down, Chao Cuo said in a preface: "The minister has received the call of His Majesty, and it is His Majesty who wants the minister to assist His Majesty in the imperial examination."

"Your Highness, can you talk to your ministers about this imperial examination?"

However, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, only said roughly in the edict that he still didn't know much about the imperial examination, but he just felt that this imperial examination sounded very novel.

The most important point in this imperial examination is that it can be tested no matter what school or school he comes from.

And the officials selected are all officials in the Imperial Lieutenant Bureau, Chao Cuo has already thought about it, and he has already written to his teacher Zhang Hui to find some legalists to participate in the imperial examination.

This is naturally in the middle of the mistake, and what he is most worried about in his heart are two things, one is to hope that one day he can be crowned a marquis because of his merits, and the other is to hope that the Legalists can reverse the current situation and be reused by the Son of Heaven.

However, the first thought was almost a complete dream at this time. Chao Cuo originally wanted to take advantage of the Wu Chu rebellion to take a credit, but he didn't want to almost die because of it, after that, the entire Han family may have a big war with the Xiongnu, and there is no possibility of rebellion in the country.

And its second thought, at this time, seems to be somewhat possible.

Today's Son of Heaven Liu Qi is a pragmatist, and as long as it is useful to all schools, it is used.

And Liu Rong is even more so, when Chao Cuo knew that Liu Rong was going to reuse Zhang Tang, he was still very relieved in his heart, he was beaten by the rest of the school, and he had no power to fight back, and the Legalist who had been unlucky for more than 50 years finally saw hope.

Hearing Chao's wrong words, Liu Rong said what he said to his father again.

"Listen to ,........................ wrong".

What I said to my father that day was too hurried, but this time I talked to Chao for nearly two moments.

And the one who was listening to it nodded his head, and the more he listened, the more excited he became.

When Liu Rong finished speaking, he grabbed the cup on the bookcase and drank all the water in the cup.

After listening to it, Chao Cuo laughed out loud: "Your Highness's policy is really a good policy, and it can be regarded as a good strategy."

After speaking, he sighed again: "Hey, Your Highness may not know, although the various counties report and recommend virtuous and upright people every year, but there are few people who can use them, and the officials of the imperial court are all old ministers, who will serve in this position today and that position tomorrow."

If this imperial examination can be carried out on a large scale, the matter of the courtiers not receiving it can be solved."

Liu Rong said with a smile: "I can't be so praised, although this policy is what I think, but how to do it, it is still the teacher and I say."

"When the Yang Hou is a great talent, it is difficult for ordinary people to do it."

Then the two began to talk about how the imperial examination would be carried out.

Chao said wrongly: "Your Highness, in the opinion of the minister, you should first set the time for this examination, so that those who are preparing for the examination can prepare early."

Liu Rong completely agreed with Chao Cuo's suggestion, first set the time, Liu Rong thought about it for a while, and then said: "If it is set after January, what does the wrong public think?" ”。

Chao Mistake is to ask: "This is according to the words of His Highness!" ”。

Then Liu Rong said again: "There must be a lot of people in the imperial examination this time, except for the palace in Chang'an City, there seems to be no place where more than 1,000 people can gather at one time."

However, how could the palace be a place that could be entered at will, and thousands of people entering the palace at a time would definitely put tremendous pressure on the palace guards.

"It doesn't seem to be a good place to go," Chao said.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Rong said excitedly: "Why don't you go to the barracks of the Southern Army!" The teaching grounds of the Southern Army are very large, and in the army, soldiers can be allowed to monitor the scene to prevent cheating."

"Your Highness is very right about this."

……………………………………………………………………

After deciding the matters of the imperial examination with Chao Cuo, he went out of the gate of the Imperial Governor's Office, but Liu Rong did not return home, but went to Tang Wuzhi's mansion.

Speaking of Tang Wu, he was also unlucky, he was awarded the title of Marquis of a Thousand Households because of Wu Chu's rebellion, and he was also appointed as a guard by Liu Rong's father.

However, he didn't want to, he was very happy and sad, and his son Tang Zheng once died of alcoholism in Chang'an City.

After Tang Wu learned about this, he beat Tang Zheng violently, and personally sent him to the Chang'an Imperial Governor's Office, and the matter was still tried by Zhang Tang.

Later, Tang Wu felt ashamed because of this, so he had to ask the Son of Heaven to resign, and after returning home, he had not gone abroad for most of the year, and the Son of Heaven would order Luan Bu to temporarily take the position of guard captain.

But Luan Bu was too old at this time, where did he have so much energy to deal with the matter of the guard, naturally he was unable to do it, and later he fell ill because of it.

In any case, Tang Wu is the person who has followed him since Liu Qi was still the crown prince, and he is loyal, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, does not trust who else can he trust.

Solidly, after Luan Bu fell ill, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, immediately ordered Tang Wu to come out of his home and continue to serve as a guard lieutenant.

……………………………………………………………………

When he arrived at Tang Wuzhi's mansion, Liu Rong did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "Tang Qing, I came to look for you this time, but I want you to help him."

"Please make it clear to Your Highness, and the ministers will obey it", Tang Wu saluted.

"How about I borrow your Southern Army's school field?"

Hearing that Liu Rong was going to borrow the school field of the military camp, Tang Wudang even asked: "What is the use of His Royal Highness wanting the school field in the army, is it because he can't train the army?" ”。

Looking at Tang Wu, who suddenly became serious, Liu Rong is smile: "If you want to train in the school field, where will the military training come from, but after a month, you will have to take the imperial examination, and there must be a lot of people who take the imperial examination." In the entire Chang'an City, you are the only one who can put so many people in the Southern Military Academy."

Hearing this, Tang Wu nodded, "If this is the case, His Highness can use it at will."
