Hearing Chang Xingru's rude words, Liu Can and Du Xunhe both felt a little contempt in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.

Although the two of them were a little disdainful of Chang Xingru, this was each other's place, and they were not stupid enough to provoke each other here.

Seeing the two people behind him, Zhou Miao patted his forehead, with an apologetic smile on his face, and explained, "I forgot to introduce the defense envoy."

These two are Zhou's old friends, this Liu Can, from the Liu clan in Hedong, is the grandson of Liu Gongquan Liu;

Next to him is Du Xunhe, the son of Du Mu and Du Fanchuan.

Both of them are quite talented talents, and this time they went to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination, which happened to pass through Shaanzhou. ”

When Zhou Miao was introducing, Chang Wei was next to his father to introduce who Liu Gongquan and Du Mu were.

Chang Xingru was born in a martial arts and has never read any books, so how do you know who Liu Gongquan and Du Mu are. Chang Wei didn't know before, although he mainly talked about the art of war, battles and other knowledge during his martial arts study, but he would also briefly explain these basic knowledge of literature.

You must know that there are also those who go to the imperial examination in martial arts, and it is not that they can only take the martial arts examination in martial arts.

If you can't take the martial arts or imperial examinations during the period of studying martial arts, you can only obey the arrangements of martial arts, enter the army, and must serve for three years.

During this period, you cannot take the imperial examination or martial arts, unless you have completed three years of service, and you can choose to take the examination.

In today's forbidden army, the promotion of martial arts is faster than that of non-martial arts, and the promotion of martial arts is faster than that of martial arts. However, the number of people recruited by Wuju every year is too small, and it is not even as good as Jinshi, so it is not very easy to test.

After hearing the explanation of the second son, Chang Xingru pretended to understand and nodded, "After it turned out to be a celebrity, the original envoy was a rough person, don't be surprised." ”

"Don't dare!"

Du Xunhe and the others hurriedly bowed.

Zhou Xuan obviously didn't intend to introduce too much, looked at Chang Wei on the side, and said with a smile, "Zhou also said who the young handsome man next to the defense envoy was, and after a closer look, he found out that it was Ling Lang." However, Zhou heard that Ling Lang was studying in martial arts, so how could he come back with time. ”

"Back to the history of Zhou Chang, my nephew came back from leave, and he just arrived yesterday." Chang Wei said.

"Being able to enter martial arts shows that the future of the virtuous nephew is limitless." Zhou Miao simply complimented, "Zhou Changshi's eldest son is said to have graduated from martial arts, why hasn't he returned." ”

"The dog is currently serving in the military in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and it will take three years before he can return."

For his eldest son and second son, Chang Xingru knew that the two of them had not been admitted to the Jinshi, so it was better to let them stay in the army.

It's not interesting to be under your own hands, and the young eagles under the wings of the mother eagle can't really grow up after all, so it's not bad to let them hone it outside.

When his eldest son graduated from martial arts, he originally wanted to give him a good position, even if he couldn't return to Shaanzhou. didn't expect the other party to go to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, which was short of people, and by the time he knew the situation, it was already too late.

However, some time ago, he learned that his eldest son had become a lieutenant, and he was a little surprised and relieved.

You must know that after graduating from martial arts, his eldest son is only a deputy captain, and there is a team leader between him and the deputy lieutenant. In a place like Anxi, where it doesn't matter if you are always Confucian, as the eldest son of a soldier, you can only rely on military merits to speak.

It was only when the second son returned yesterday that he learned that the eldest son had participated in several military campaigns in the Anxi metropolitan protectorate, including the suppression of the nomadic rebellion in the Anxi territory and the attack on the Uighurs in Ganzhou. Because he performed well in several battles, he was able to be promoted so quickly.

His eldest son made meritorious contributions in the army, and Chang Xingru, who was a father, was naturally happy, and he could be regarded as a successor to his old Chang family.

"Tiger father has no dog!" Zhou Miao praised.

"It's rare to be happy today, Zhou Changshi, go to Chang's house for a get-together? Chang asked people to prepare well and celebrate! ”

Chang Xingru, who won the game, was in a good mood, and Zhou Xuan's compliments made him even more proud, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to celebrate?

"Then Zhou is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!"

。。。。。。

"Brother Zhou has official business, so you don't have to send it again!"

At the west gate of Shaanzhou, seeing Zhou Xun who was sent outside the city gate, Du Xunhe was also a little caught off guard, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Then the virtuous brother will go all the way slowly, and Zhou is here to wish the virtuous brother the top spot on this trip." Zhou Miao smiled and arched his hand.

"Borrow Brother Zhou's auspicious words!"

As Du Xunhe, Liu Can and the others left, one of Zhou Xuan's staff members next to him was a little curious.

"Changshi is a little displeased with this Du Xunhe, why do you want to send it in person? Even if he is talented, how difficult it is to get this Jinshi exam, this person may not be able to pass the exam. ”

"It's just a good match. He was able to be received by Zhu Wen, the king of Liang, which showed that Zhu Wen was very optimistic about him, and with Zhu Wen's current prestige, many people in the court showed favor to him. Maybe this Du Xunhe will be admitted?

He and the official are fellow villagers, and the official doesn't need to offend, maybe there will be places where the other party needs help in the future. ”

"Long history is wise!"

"Wise what? If he had been wise, he would not have been a long history now. Zhou Miao laughed at himself.

He was a jinshi in the thirteenth year of Xiantong (872 AD), and Zheng Changtu, Pei Zhen, Xu Yanruo, etc., who were admitted in the same year as him, which was not higher than his position, and even Liu Chongwang, who was admitted to the Jinshi in the fifteenth year of Xiantong, became a feudal official.

In terms of talent, he doesn't belong to these people, they are all the same Jinshi, and he is also one of the 'Ten Philosophers of Xiantong'.

But he lost in the world.

His ancestors may have been prominent, but that was two hundred years ago, and he came from a poor background, and he was not the son of a large family.

But the others are different, Zheng Changtu is from the Zheng family in Xingyang; Xu Yanruo is from the Xu family in the East China Sea, his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father are all Jinshi, and his father Xu Shang served as the prime minister; Don't talk about Pei Zhen, it's from Wenxi Pei's family.

Thinking of this, Zhou Miao was also a little uncomfortable in his heart. However, thinking of the situation of several other people who are also Xiantong Ten Philosophers, he rushed to rejoice that at least he had been admitted to the Jinshi earlier.

And the others, except for Zheng Gu and Wen Xian, who were admitted to the Jinshi, the rest were more bumpy.

However, as a jinshi in the first year of Qianning, it is said that the saint is more optimistic about Zheng Gu and Wen Xian, and he doesn't know whether it is true or false, but he has heard about Wen Xian's appointment as the governor of Weizhou.

It's only been a few years, and I've walked the path that I have only taken nearly 20 years to go.

But now that he is not in the age of sixties, he still has a chance, and he may not have the opportunity to show his ambitions and ambitions before the arrival of the age of Zhishi.

Today's saints have not concealed the suppression of the family at all, and the families who know the thoughts of the saints are powerless to deal with it, because the current family is not as good as before.

Thinking of this, Zhou Miao was a little grateful to Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan, without their rebellion and massacre, these families would not have withered and failed to receive talents.

It seems that there are still many important ministers in the court today, but in recent years, whether it is Jinshi or Ming Jing and other subjects, the proportion of children of those big families has been declining year by year, while the proportion of children of small families and poor families has been rising.

Isn't that a good trend!
