In August, there were still more than ten days before the national test was held, and at this time, Liu De swore to go out outside the city of Beiping, and news had come half a month ago that Wei Chigong, Wei Yan and Zhang Fei had successfully crossed Luanshui, launched a surprise attack, and successfully occupied a county seat in Weizhou.

There was no resistance at all in the county, the thieves fled in all directions, Wei Chigong and the three of them made persistent efforts, and even several cities, completely gained a foothold in Weizhou, relying on several cities, with [Dingxi County] as the center, established a relatively effective defense.

Because relying on the soldiers and horses in the hands of Wei Chigong and the three of them, they are no longer able to expand outward, and if they are attacking, their own defense will be full of loopholes, so they can only wait for the arrival of Liu De's main army.

And the heroes of Weizhou also reacted in hindsight, although the attack of Wei Chigong and others did not belong to the sphere of influence of the three powerful forces in Weizhou, but Liu De's dispatch still made these heroes sweat on their foreheads and feel jealous.

So, he quickly turned the war into a jade silk, put aside his hatred, and formed an anti-Han alliance to deal with Liu De's army.

This is actually something that Liu De didn't expect, being able to put aside the hatred of both sides and unite to resist external humiliation, it can be seen that the three of them are not ordinary people!

In addition to the three most powerful heroes in Weizhou, there are dozens of other local heroes, with a total of 130,000 soldiers and horses, known as 500,000 troops, and began to move to Dingxi County.

After Liu De received the military report, he could only send troops to Weizhou in order to be fully prepared, so far, Liu De sighed to the courtiers who served on the left and right: "It's really a hundred secrets, I didn't expect Weizhou Haoqiang to put down the hatred in his hands and unite against us, so that our previous plan was wasted." ”

Xun You said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that this matter is beneficial to us, on the bright side, Weizhou Haoqiang abandoned the previous suspicions and joined forces to fight against the Han, but in fact, secretly the heroes must have the intention of preserving their strength, the military orders are not unified, and the top and bottom cannot be united, even if the soldiers are strong and strong, what can they do?"

And our Han army, under the leadership of His Royal Highness, has unified military orders, and the top and bottom are united, and the soldiers dare to fight, and it is easy to win! ”

Liu De nodded and said: "What you said is right, maybe the outcome can be determined in a battle, and then the entire territory of Weizhou can be recovered without much effort." ”

Liu De went to Chen's Mansion to visit Chen Shuo, who was seriously ill in bed before the expedition, Chen Shuo's body had collapsed a few years ago, and he was often sick, but now his condition is getting more and more serious, and he can't even get out of bed and walk around.

Although it is called the first assistant of the Great Han, it is actually no longer able to govern.

The divine doctors Hua Tuo and An Daoquan are also powerless, and their body functions are completely aging, and even the gods may not be able to save them.

Liu De can see from the stunts that Chen Shuo's lifespan is only one year, or less than a year, I'm afraid

But Liu De has also seen a life in the system, and he has never seen it before, and sometimes Liu De thinks that it would be better if he had enough skill points to buy it at that time.

But Liu De didn't give up, and began to accumulate skill points, browsing the mall every day, hoping to see options to increase lifespan, if there is, even if there are many skill points, Liu De will buy it.

Chen Shuo's skin was shriveled, Liu De could clearly see the age spots on Chen Shuo's face, and Chen Shuo's whole person was very thin, but his consciousness was still sober, and he was very happy to see Liu De come to visit him.

Liu De talked a lot about Chen Shuo, "If it is undecided today, Deke can't do without Grandpa Chen!" Liu pulled Chen Shuo's hand, unwilling to let go.

Chen Shuo looked very indifferent, and his voice was a little weak, "The old man is old, now I can't read those words clearly, and I can't help you anymore, but Xun Yu and they are all Wang Zuozhicai, loyal, with them, the old man will be relieved, and when he sees Brother Shang, he can tell him that the old man did not disappoint him, but it is a pity, I am afraid I will not see the day when you will win the world!" ”

"Grandpa Chen"

Liu De's eyes were red and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Liu De saw that Chen Shuo was a little tired, so he said goodbye and left, and then told Chen Ying to take Liu Ren over to see his great-grandfather when he was free.

Chen Ying nodded in agreement.

Liu De led his troops out and handed over all government affairs to the courtiers led by Xun Yu, and the main task of the court in August was to civilize and martial arts.

This is the first time that the civil and military activities have been held after the establishment of the Han State, and the importance is not much to say, if anything goes wrong, suicide and apology may be light.

Zhang Tianlang was in charge of the Wuju and the Wenju was in charge of the Guozi Priest Jiu Baili Xi, with the assistance of other officials.

It has not been a few days since the national examination, and there are many fewer soldiers wandering around the streets, and most of them have returned to their places of residence and started sharpening their guns.

"Brother Du, I didn't expect this Beiping City to be really prosperous!"

The man's head shook around, and he said to his friend next to him excitedly, "I think that a few years ago, Zhongzhou was the most prosperous in the world, and now Zhongzhou has long withered because of the war, making this Beiping City the largest city in the world!" ”

Brother Du stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Beiping City has also experienced several wars, but it has recovered so quickly under the governance of the Han Gong, which shows that the ability of the Han Gong is indeed a British lord who can pacify the world!" ”

The man also nodded wildly, "Brother Du is right, so there is absolutely no problem for us to participate in the imperial examination of the Duke of Han!"

Brother Du didn't say much, but continued to look at the surrounding scenery.

Beiping is quite prosperous, the two of them are not tired of the body when they first arrived in Beiping, they are wandering around in a leisurely manner, and when it is noon, the man is finally a little tired, pulling his friend's sleeve, panting and saying: "Brother Du, let's find a place to have a meal and rest our feet, and then do something else!" ”

Brother Du also wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to a small stall on the corner of the street in front and said, "Lao Zhao, there should be a noodle stall in front, let's go there to rest!" ”

"Okay!"

Lao Zhao also saw the stall and agreed.

When the two arrived at the stall, they found a place to sit down at random, Lao Zhao straightened his waist, stretched his waist hard, and said loudly: "Old man, bring us two bowls of noodles and two bowls of herbal tea!" ”

"Great! Wait a minute! ”

The old man wiped the table in front of the two with a rag, brought up two bowls of herbal tea, and said to the two with a smile: "Look at the appearance of the two of you, you should have come to participate in the scientific examination!" ”

Lao Zhao said: "The old man has good eyesight, the two of us are from Zhongzhou, and we have traveled thousands of miles to participate in this scientific expedition!" ”

"Oops!"

The old man was very surprised: "Old man, I have never been out of Jizhou in my life, I really don't know where Zhongzhou is, but looking at the appearance of the two, it should be very far away!" ”

Lao Zhao stretched out five fingers and said proudly: "More than five months!" We walked for more than five months, from Zhongzhou to Jinzhou in crossing the big river, through Luanzhou, it took more than five months, and encountered bandits on the way, it can be described as nine deaths, but it is also bitter, today finally arrived in Beiping! ”

When Lao Qi and the other people at the noodle stall heard Lao Zhao's narration, they all sighed, and they could feel the hardships of these two people just by saying this.

At this time, the old man suddenly shouted to the back: "Wife, hurry up!" ”

"Come on! Come on! What are you shouting you bad old man! ”

An old woman carefully placed two bowls of noodles on the table, glared at her old man with dissatisfaction, and went back down.

The old man should have been accustomed to it for a long time, and instead of taking care of his wife, he said to Du and Zhao: "The two sons use it slowly, this side!" It's an old man, I'll invite two gentlemen! ”

"Hey! How can this be, old man! ”

As soon as Lao Zhao wanted to get up, the old man hurriedly said to the two: "Our Royal Highness the Duke of Han is not ambiguous about our people, and the two of them who traveled thousands of miles to participate in the imperial examination wanted to serve under the Duke of Han, and the old man also entertained a lot of people, and it was the first time he met a scholar from so far away.

I don't have any skills, but I am also willing to do my best to be a landlord, these two bowls of noodles are invited by the old man, and until the end of the imperial examination, as long as the two come to my noodle stall, they will be free! ”

Du and Zhao didn't expect that this old man who didn't even know where Zhongzhou was would be so righteous, and if he looked at the leopard, he could know what the atmosphere of the entire Beiping was!

His Royal Highness the Duke of Han is really a benevolent monarch!

"Why are there so many people in that place!"

Lao Zhao ate a large bowl of noodles, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then found that there were a lot of people gathered at the door of a merchant not far in front of him, and then asked the diners next to him.

The eater said to Lao Zhao: "That's Beiping Hospital, it was just listed not long ago, it is an official family, and it is free to see a doctor for Baixin!" It's that medicinal materials cost some money, but medicinal materials are also cheaper than other pharmacies. Right! It's called government Medicaid! ”

"Government Medicaid? What is Medicaid? ”

Lao Du asked suddenly.

The eater was not ambiguous, and preached endlessly: "Actually, I don't understand so much!" Let me give you an example! It costs 1,000 yuan to buy this medicine in a pharmacy, but you only spend 800 yuan to buy medicine after treatment in the hospital, and the remaining 200 yuan is paid by the government! That's pretty much what it means! ”

The saying of the diners is very popular, and Lao Du and Lao Zhao understood what the government Medicaid meant as soon as they heard it!

"O benevolent! This is really benevolent government! ”

Old Du muttered.

The diner obviously heard Lao Du's self-talk, and said to Lao Du quite proudly: "That's not it, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the back street to have a look, there is also a lonely home, which is to support those old people who have no filial piety because their heirs died on the battlefield and those orphans who have no father and mother, if you want to talk about benevolence, this is the benevolence of His Royal Highness Han Gong!" ”

Lao Du and Lao Zhao had long been shocked by everything the eater said.

Lao Du sighed: "Now that there is a big chaos today, Brother Zhao and I have traveled all the way, the roadside is full of unburied bones and wandering refugees, how can the princes from all over the country have the heart to control the life and death of the people, but to use the looted money and food to expand the army, Han Gong is really benevolent!" ”

Lao Du turned his head and said to Lao Zhao: "Let's go and have a look?" ”

"That's what I mean!"

Lao Zhao turned his head and said.

When leaving, Lao Du put a few copper plates on the table, which was the money for the meal.

There are still two hours before the start of the exam, and the examination room has long been full of soldiers, and the three layers inside and the outer three layers surround the examination room.

Xun Yu, as the deputy assistant of the cabinet, personally came to the examination room to inspect, and officials such as Guozijian, Hanlin Academy, and the Ministry of Rites have been on call for a long time.

Xun Yu advised: "This scientific expedition is very important, although His Royal Highness is out on the expedition, we can't take it lightly, but there is a mistake, don't blame the official's subordinates for being ruthless!" ”

"Wait for the order!"

All the ministers and workers should join in.

"Dang!"

A gong sounded.

The scholars who had been waiting outside the examination room hurriedly lined up and waited for admission, and the scientific examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties even had to take off their clothes for inspection, but Liu De couldn't use this way.

Because the current scholars are quite arrogant, the so-called monarch chooses the minister, the minister also chooses the king, the scholars participate in the imperial examination of the Han Dynasty, basically have a good impression of Liu De, agree with Liu De's morality, and the imperial examination is also a way to test their ability, opposition to the imperial examination is only those families who monopolize the promotion of officials, and those who have no ink on their chests.

For some scholars, on the contrary, they supported rather than opposed.

But if you conduct a body search, this is a naked insult, you insult me, how can I take a break, leaving on the spot is considered light, maybe I will turn to someone else later.

Liu De would never do such a thing.

But Liu De used his ass to think that there would definitely be people who cheated, so what to do, he could only rely on the examiner in the prison room, in order to prevent candidates from entrainment and cheating, Liu De directly called the army is the crossbowmen, and the soldiers who can be crossbowmen, at least the eyes are absolutely fine.

And being surrounded by a group of ill-intentioned soldiers is also a test for candidates.

The military and civilian officials can't urinate in the same pot, and with the presence of the army, the possibility of cheating can be minimized.

Of course, there may be more advanced cheating, such as insiders revealing the exam questions in advance, etc., so in order to prevent this from happening, Liu De directly sealed the exam questions and guarded them with the army, the Gongwei Division, and the Hanging Mirror Division, which can be regarded as mutual supervision.

Even if the first assistant of the cabinet arrives, he has no right to take the test papers, and if anyone insists on taking them, they will be arrested and imprisoned on the spot and await trial.

If there are still people who can take away the test papers under the supervision of these three parties, it can only be said that Liu De, the main man, is not too qualified. No wonder no one else.

The craftsmen who printed the papers were similarly imprisoned and could not leave until after the results were released.

The content of the exam only lasts for one day, and the noon meal is also prepared by the government for the scholars, although it is not very rich, but it can also fill the stomach, what if you don't want to eat, then you will be hungry, and you will not die of hunger.

The exam questions are not difficult, one is scripture and history, the second is arithmetic, the third is law, and the fourth is strategy.

Even if the candidates want to review, they can only review the scriptures and history, the scriptures are the cultural classics of various schools, Liu De is not biased towards any school, but the Great Zhou is good Confucian, and Confucianism accounts for a large proportion.

However, the three tests are the law, and the law is something that Legalists are good at, which makes a group of Legalists quite excited, and also makes the Confucian scholars quite angry, and Confucianism is already estranged.

However, for the Mo family, almost everyone shouted and beat them.

And now the candidates are not looking at the questions, but staring at the white paper in their hands, and they all open their mouths wide, and they can put down a big cucumber.
