With the release of the national letter, Liu Tao was not busy fighting immediately, and while the soldiers were gathered, they were also waiting for the arrival of Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu, planning to negotiate the matter first and then set off.

At the same time, through the channels of the Jinyi Guard, there were rumors in various places that as long as they surrendered voluntarily before the war: civil officials could be retained through a special, that is, no age limit; Military generals are tested and hired according to their actual abilities.

This news was initially thought to be a rumor, but more and more people are spreading it, so it is difficult to consider it a rumor.

So in a short period of time, this news was transmitted to the entire territory of the Jin and Yan kingdoms, and the ears of officials in various counties and counties......

Daijun, Taishou Fu Rui is already in his fifties, and his eldest son Fu Yun is on Yuan Shao's side, and communicates with him privately, hoping that he will secretly serve the Jin Kingdom. Fu Rui is already old and has no ambitions, so he naturally wants to find a way out for his two sons.

Just today, Fu Yun came over again, still on behalf of Yuan Shao. The meaning is very clear, that is, when the Xianbei people go south, open the Great Wall and put the Xianbei people down, they are the reinforcements invited by Yuan Shao.

This Fu Rui was embarrassed, after all, he saw through Yuan Shao's thoughts.

He is still the Taishou of Yan State on the surface, and he took the initiative to open the city wall to let the Xianbei people in, so the first thing that will damage the interests and reputation of Yan State is it. Even if the Xianbei people go south as reinforcements, burning, killing and looting along the way, can they still be missing?

Fu Rui did such a thing, so if it was spread out, no matter what Yan Guo's face was, he himself would definitely be spurned.

However, as Fu Yun said, as long as you can defeat Liu Tao and break through his undefeated legend, then everything is worth it. The world has been afraid of Liu Tao, a 'child of the immortal family' for too long, if this name is not broken, then there is no need to continue fighting, it is better to surrender directly.

"Father, Your Majesty said that this time it will be successful, you can be arranged to go to Qingzhou to take up a post, and after a few years, the rumors will subside, and then you will be transferred back to serve as the third duke." Fu Yun said carefully.

"And what position did he promise you?" Fu Rui looked at Fu Yun and seemed to see through him at a glance.

"Your Majesty didn't say it, but Xu Junshi hinted that Your Majesty will not treat me badly." Fu Yun hurriedly replied.

At present, Fu Yun is only a waiter at the Yellow Gate, and it can only be said that this position is a bit chicken. Because of this, Fu Yun should be very worthy of my promotion. Xu You only needed a slight hint, and naturally came over to find his father.

In fact, Xu Yu promised nothing, and Yuan Shao also promised nothing. If everything goes well, it's okay to say, naturally I won't forget the heroes. If there is a problem, then needless to say, Fu Rui will definitely be pushed out, and Fu Yun will not please him.

"Father, in that case, why don't you consider serving Your Majesty?" Another figure came out from behind the screen, but it was Fu Xun who came over first from Fu Yun earlier.

Originally, I came with those people from Shuijing Academy, but I accidentally passed the imperial examination. Originally, I wanted to say that I would have fun in the exam and try my level, but who knew that the court said that whoever was admitted and left directly, then he would never be allowed to participate in the imperial examination in the future.

Fu Xun finally stayed, supposedly with a month's vacation, he had nothing to do, and planned to take office directly.

Who knew that the imperial court was going to start a crusade and attack, and it was also going to attack Daijun, so he remembered that his father was a taishou in Daijun, so he hurriedly came over and tried to persuade his father to surrender to the Han.

"Second brother? What are you doing here? Fu Yun saw Fu Xun, something happy, and a little wary.

"The foolish brother went to Dahan to participate in the imperial examination before, and was born in the second list of twenty-four jinshi, and was appointed as the county magistrate of Qiaoxian County......" Fu Xun had to tell his situation, "I was going to take office, but who knew that I received the news that Dahan was going to war with Yan Han and the Jin Kingdom, and I thought that my father was in Daijun, so I hurriedly came over." ”

"The Han Dynasty treats scholars very harshly, and would rather support Li Shu as an official than reuse virtuousness. In the long run, only a few of the children of each family will be able to become a leader. In the same way, you and I will never come out! When Fu Yun heard this, he immediately persuaded, "The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, who is sympathetic to us and other scholars, is a true benevolent monarch and deserves the world!" Brother, if you go to Yecheng with me, how can I seek a half-official position for you......"

"Brother, times have changed!" Fu Xun shook his head, "And my noble family has more land and property, unlike Li Shu, I need to work and study at the same time." As long as we invest enough, and the children in the clan are willing to learn and improve, then the number of people who will eventually become successful will not change much. ”

The only result of the imperial examination system is that the selected officials at least have real talent and learning, rather than eyeballs to earn fame, and then they can be elected as officials.

In the future, it is equivalent to canceling the civil service examination, and among the Internet celebrities and traffic stars, select a group of people to be arranged to work in the central government for two years, and then arrange the work specifically. Then who is concentrating on reading and thinking about how to be an Internet celebrity!

People are different, and the eunuchs are born with rich backgrounds, family education, economy, etc., which are definitely better than ordinary people.

So in the end, most of the people who can become officials are at least the children of official eunuchs, or at least they are also wealthy families. But at least, those who can go up have a certain amount of talent. And at least it gives ordinary people a relatively fair chance to get on top.

It's okay to do this, you really can't ask for anything......

In other words, Liu Tao's words, as long as he is willing to study hard and pass the imperial examination, then he can become an official. On the contrary, it will be difficult for people who are grandstanding to get ahead, right? Fu Yun didn't speak, Fu Rui asked first.

"Yes, and I heard that for the officials of the six ministries, as well as the officials above the Taishou, it is possible to shade a child. You can't go out directly, but you can enter a specialized college to study, and at the same time, you can get a certain amount of extra points when you take the imperial examination. Fu Xun replied.

To this extent, if you still fail the exam, it is not that others do not give you a chance, but that you are not angry.

"Sure enough, you can't ......believe all the words of the market," Fu Rui sighed, and then looked at Fu Yun, "I can't control you, but I am Hanchen, the acting county taishou appointed by the Han Dynasty!" ”

This big man is not Yan Han, but a big man in Liu Hong's period. Wang Ze moved from Daijun Taishou to Yanmen Taishou, he was the successor, and in this office, he witnessed the fragmentation of the Han Dynasty.

At first, it was Liu Yu, and at the same time, Liu Tao's side was indeed messing around, so he remained neutral. Now it is Liu Bei, who is also a member of the Han clan, and he can also continue to wait and see.

After all, when you are old, it doesn't matter how you are, it mainly depends on how much you can help your son. It is said that if you really take refuge in Yuan Shao, it is nothing, as long as the interests are sufficient.

But if he can help his son and fulfill his loyalty, Fu Rui still has to be faced.

"Father!" Fu Yun didn't expect that his father actually planned to serve the Northern Han Dynasty.

"Go and tell the imperial army, tell them to come over and take over here, otherwise, Gongsun Chan will have to come over." Fu Rui immediately looked at Fu Xun.

"Yes!" When Fu Xun heard this, he immediately said goodbye and left. Father's meaning is very simple, if Gongsun Chan comes over, then even if he surrenders, it is useless, it is still Gongsun Chan who is in charge here.

"Go back and tell Yuan Shao that his father, uncle and uncle are all Hanchen. His grandfather and great-grandfather were also Hanchens. Fu Rui looked at Fu Yun, "In addition, if the big Han really hits under Yecheng, don't be reckless and surrender directly!" ”

When Fu Yun heard this, he already understood that his father had planned to put the future of the Fu family on the Northern Han Dynasty.

No matter how reluctant he was, Fu Yun also understood that this was a fact that could not be changed. In these years, the scholars pay attention to the family and the country, and the family is the world, and the patriarch is the head, and Fu Rui is the patriarch, so he can decide the future of the Fu family.

As a clansman, he can only obey. And continue to be an official in the Jin Kingdom, just as a precaution.

In case the Northern Han Dynasty is unlucky and destroyed, then at least the Fu family still has his lineage to continue...... Just like the Xun family, Xun Chen served in the Jin State, and even Yuan Shao had Xun Zheng there.

No matter who gets the world in the end, the Yingchuan Xun clan will at least have a lineage that can continue.

While Daijun is planning to surrender, a drastic change is also brewing in Qingzhou.

On this day, Zang Hong held a banquet and invited Zhu Ling, a general stationed in Qingzhou, which was the second day that the news was transmitted to Qingzhou.

"My father is old...... after three rounds of drinking, Zang Hong began to complain, "I retired from the post of Zhongshan Taishou, saying that I planned to go to Jinyang to retire, and said that I was Hanchen." ”

Zang Hong's father was Zang Min, who was Zhongshan Taishou at the time and had contact with Liu Tao.

This time he said that he was going to live a retirement life, but he was actually advising Zang Hong that he was also a Hanchen and should not serve the Jin Kingdom. Don't say anything about loyalty and righteousness, he should be loyal to the Han Dynasty, not the Jin Kingdom.

Zang Hong is also helpless, don't say that loyalty and righteousness are not both, this is to make him loyal and filial piety not all three, right? got it, Yuan Shao promoted him, so he served Yuan Shao, which is where the 'righteousness' lies. But loyalty and filial piety are on my father's side, two to one can't help it!

"Zhu is also a Hanchen ......" Zhu Ling heard this, and already roughly knew what Zang Ba meant, and said with a faint smile.

"Oh?" Zang Hong looked at Zhu Ling in some surprise.

"There are a lot of people in this general, and there is no one as capable as His Majesty the Great Han, this is the real master! Now that you've met the true Master, why don't you go to him? Zhu Ling replied, "And no matter how well Yuan Shao speaks to the outside world, he is just a rebel, and this fact will not change." ”

After a pause, he looked around and said, "Ben will communicate with Taishou sincerely, and those people around him can be withdrawn, right?" ”

"Offering ugliness, offering ugliness......" Zang Hong smiled and clapped his hands when he heard this.

The knife and axe men who were hiding around left one after another. According to the code, clapping is disbanding, but if it is a cup throwing, then kill it as soon as possible and kill Zhu Ling.

If it weren't for this arrangement, how could Zang Hong tell the truth to Zhu Ling like this?

"So, you and I are on the same page, right?" Zhu Ling looked at Zang Hong.

"This official said that I am Hanchen." Zang Hong smiled at Zhu Ling.

So when Liu Tao found the army of the Southern Xiongnu, news came from the front that he couldn't believe it: Fu Rui, the Taishou of Daijun, Zang Ba of Qingzhou, and Zhu Ling, the general of the Jin State, officially surrendered to the Han Dynasty......
