In the summer of the first year of Yanhe, Xinmao (20).

In the north of Xinfeng City, thousands of scholars and relatives, friends, parents, and onlookers gathered here.

At a glance, the entire city downstairs was densely packed with human heads.

Fortunately, Liu Jin sent more than 100 cavalry of the Qimen Army in time to maintain order, so there was no chaos.

Zhang Yue stood on the city tower and watched the scene with Liu Jin.

Thousands of literati, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, obeyed the orders of the government and prepared to participate in a weight-bearing cross-country sport.

That's a miracle in itself!

Liu Jin even wondered if his eyes were wrong?

When he was in Bowang Yuan, who of his father's diners and guests did not have a high face and despise all physical activity?

What's going on right now?

Is the sun coming out of the west?

"Zhang Shizhong......" Liu Jin quietly walked to Zhang Yue's side and asked softly: "Why don't all living beings suffer from this 'weight-bearing cross-country'?" ”

He remembered that in Bowang Yuan, if anyone dared to let the 'elegant' scholars do things, they would definitely be sprayed half-body.

Countless big hats flew to your head in an instant, making you even doubt life.

"Because ......" Zhang Yue blinked, looked at Liu Jin, and then smiled and complimented: "Your Highness is here......"

The eldest grandson is here, who is willing to give up easily?

Not to mention the weight-bearing off-road, what can't the literati and doctors do in order to be officials and be wealthy?

Zhang Yue remembered very well that the Confucian scholars in history, even executioners and enemies of civilization such as Kublai Khan and Kang Mazi, had also flattered and knelt down to lick the flesh.

What's even more sad is that even when the imperial army comes over, they can also cooperate with the singing of a play, sing the praises of the greatness of neon, and welcome the king of Dongying to whip his subordinates.

If these things happen in the future, it is inconsistent with the social environment of the Han family.

Well, many famous stories that have happened in the history of the Han family can also corroborate this fact.

Back then, Emperor Gao Liu Bang hated Confucianism the most in his life.

At every turn, he would beat and flog Confucian students, and even pee in public in his hat.

However, did Confucius leave him because of this?

No!

On the contrary, with the successive victories of the Han army, the empire was created.

The Confucian scholars who came to attach themselves and take refuge in seeking wealth and nobility are like carp crossing the river and sand of the river.

The great Confucian uncle Sun Tong, even in order to please Liu Bang, even threw away the Confucian crown and Confucian robes, which Liu Bang didn't like.

He said that he wore a Chu crown, learned the accent of the Chu people, and met Liu Bang.

Liu Bang was overjoyed, and finally wanted him to nag about Confucian learning.

He was even given the power to design and formulate the etiquette of the Han Dynasty.

Walking through Liu Bang's era, time came to Wenjing.

During the reigns of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xian, Confucianism began to develop and flourish.

However, in the center, Confucianism is still a mud leg, a broken household.

Whether it is Taizong or the first emperor, they don't like Confucianism.

Emperor Taizong liked Huang Laoqing's quiet and inaction, while Emperor Xian loved the Legalist theory of criminal law and militarism.

The ministers of the government and the opposition had two thousand stones, and there was not a single Confucian scholar.

At that time, the Confucian scholars were very obedient, and they were especially good at enduring humiliation.

For example, Yuan Gusheng of the Qi Poetry School was almost thrown into the beast pen because he offended Dou Hou, and he was going to fight with the wild boar.

The rise of Confucianism is only thirty or forty years old.

The development of Confucianism to this point is, in fact, inseparable from the Han-Hungarian War.

Say it and you may not believe it.

Confucianism was able to come to power because the Ram School was the main battle, and it was the most active main battle faction.

The Huang Lao school is self-contained and resolutely peaceful.

Thus, the wheel of history did not hesitate to crush the Lord and the pie to pieces.

Not only the king, but also the people abandoned those guys.

Lord and? Continue to swallow your anger in front of the Huns, allowing the Huns to ravage and invade?

Not to mention that the Son of Heaven at that time did not agree, that is, tens of millions of people in the world, especially the people in the northern counties and the people at the foot of the Great Wall, none of them would agree!

As a result, the coming to power of the Ram School was almost a matter of course.

And the idea of great revenge sweeping the world is also a historical inevitability!

The Zhuxia nation was born with the mandate to rule the world and dominate the four seas!

The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!

Now, someone actually wants these chosen people, the people of the Central Empire, to endure the invasion of foreign races, and offer money and silk women to beg for mercy from the invaders?

Crazy!

It's just that as soon as Confucianism came to power, it was good to forget the scars and pain.

The Ram School is okay and has always insisted on the main battle, but the Guliang School and the Simeng School have begun to raise the banner of peace again, shouting loudly 'Mo is better than kissing'.

It can only be said that they are all spoiled!

During the reign of Emperor Gao, which Confucian scholar dared to chirp?

At the time of Wenjing, where was the Guliang School?

As for now, these guys obey Zhang Yue's orders in a proper manner and come here to participate in weight-bearing off-road.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it's just that Zhang Yue didn't deliberately get used to them.

So, they don't have a chance to have their stinky problems.

Do you want to change to a corporal and lick them with all your heart? Their tails still don't go up to the sky?

The literati doctor, in fact, is the tsundere loli in the comics.

Being too nice to them will only backfire.

When tsundere disease attacks, it will destroy the world!

………………………………

The soldiers at the gate of the city naturally couldn't hear Zhang Yue's inner complaints.

At this moment, they are all gearing up and making final preparations.

In particular, the more than 100 children from noble families with military merits stood in front of the crowd early, eager to show themselves to the 'Zhang Shizhong' and 'His Royal Highness the Eldest Sun' on the city tower, in order to leave a deep impression.

One of them is particularly conspicuous.

Because, he was wearing a set of standard leather armor of the Han army.

The color of this leather armor is typical of the crimson combat armor of the Han army, and the outer side of the leather armor is inlaid with pieces of iron armor that are connected together like fish scales.

Needless to say, this is a set of horse armor commonly used by the mainstream cavalry of the Han army.

The armor is exclusive to the Han army, and in addition to active soldiers, only noble lords are eligible to use it.

At this moment, in the test ground of the Xinfeng Public Examination, a young man swaggering and wearing armor appeared.

Countless people have turned their eyes sideways.

Even Zhang Yue and Liu Jin were attracted to attention.

"Who's that?" Zhang Yue asked softly.

"Waiting, it should be Chang Yuan......" Sang Jun on Zhang Yue's side looked at the man carefully, and then replied: "It is the widow of the late Han envoy Chang Gong Hui ......"

"Chang Hui?" Zhang Yue's eyes burned, and the good impression of that young man in his heart instantly maxed.

"Yes!" Sang Jun said softly, probably because he was afraid that Zhang Yue would not understand the background of this person, so he said in detail: "His ancestor Chang Gong Hui was an envoy to the Xiongnu more than ten years ago with the Central Supervisor Su Gongwu, and then he was involved in the Xiongnu civil strife, and it is said that he was not in the Xiongnu ......."

"Su Gong was born in a famous family, and his wife was raised by his own family, but Chang Gong was born in a slight cold, and his relatives were unable to raise him, but fortunately, the Son of Heaven had mercy and raised his widow and relatives in Shanglin Yuan, and invited teachers to teach the art of civil and martial arts......"

When Sang Jun said this, his eyes were also a little confused: "It stands to reason that this time it should be to enter the period gate army and serve His Majesty, why did he appear here?" ”

Zhang Yue listened, but smiled lightly, and ordered: "I always respect loyal ministers and righteous people, this son is a loyal minister, after the interview, I will take this son as my relatives and follow the scribe......"

Although it is not clear, why this future future doorman who is today's son is not a good periodman, and he came to Xinfeng to join in the fun.

But......

His father Chang Hui and Zhang Yue know very well that they are still alive now.

Not just alive, he will become a legend.

Chang Hui and Su Wu were detained by the Xiongnu for 19 years, no matter how the Huns coerced, lured, tortured and humiliated, they never fell into integrity and were unyielding.

Leaving an immortal legend in history.

It has become a symbol of the backbone and integrity of the Zhuxia nation.

What's even more legendary is Chang Hui's life after that.

After being released by the Xiongnu, Chang Hui participated in most of the wars of the Zhaoxuan and Xuan dynasties by virtue of his nineteen years of observation in the Xiongnu and his research on the Xiongnu.

And for the Han family to finally dismember the Xiongnu, surrender to the Southern Xiongnu, and make great contributions.

He also became the first minister of the Han family to run the Western Regions and establish a foundation in the Western Regions.

It can be said that without Chang Hui, there would be no Western Regions Protectorate.

However, now, the news of Su Wu and Chang Save is strictly blocked by the Huns.

Only a few people know.

Moreover, Zhang Yue also understood that shaking off the news that Su Wu and Chang Hui were still alive now would only harm them!

Because, Han and Hun are now mortal enemies.

In history, Chang Hui and Su Wu were able to come back alive.

The main reason was that because of the Han-Hun peace negotiations, the Huns were forced to release them under pressure.

And now, the Huns are arrogant.

Without hurting them on the battlefield and forcing them to beg for peace, shaking off this matter would only put Su Wu, Chang Hui and others into a worse situation.

Especially Tonee!

Because, Su Wu was in the Xiongnu, in fact, someone protected him.

Not to mention, will Li Shaoqing watch his good friend fall into the ground and not pull it up?

And Guard......

You may not believe it when you say it, Wei Lu had a good relationship with Su Wu back then.

The two were once confidants.

In fact, Su Wu was able to be released, and Li Shaoqing and Wei Lu made great efforts.

In addition, Su Wu had a large number of brain-dead fans in the Xiongnu.

Among them are the younger brothers of Xiongnu Shan Yu and several sons of Xiongnu Shan Yu.

Without their protection and care, Su Wu would have frozen to death and starved to death in Beihai.

But Chang Hui doesn't have so many good friends and brain-dead fans to protect.

Therefore, once the Huns learned of the fact that the Han family knew that Su Wu and the others were still alive, maybe Su Wu would be safe and sound, but Chang Hui and the others would definitely suffer bad luck, at least be transferred.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue quietly clenched his fists.

He knew that when Jiang Chong died, history had completely changed.

If the witch plague had not happened in the future, then the brief period of peace between Han and Hungary in that period of history would not have appeared.

Su Wu, Chang Hui and others may die of old age from the Huns.

Therefore, he knew that he had the responsibility and obligation to lead the army in the future, and the soldiers would come to Zhiju Shui, just to ask the Xiongnu for the heroes who returned to Zhuxia.

More than one Su Wu, more than one Chang Hui.

In the past few decades, in the wars and diplomatic activities with each other, those heroes who were captured and detained by the Huns, but have always been loyal and unyielding, should be brought back, by their own armies!

Thinking so in my heart, the cross-country trek under the city tower has begun.

The young literati lined up, took the simple backpacks filled with sand and soil, carried them on their backs, and then walked forward, facing the official town of Yushe Township.

On both sides of the road, the people of Xinfeng Township and Fangyu Society dragged their families and watched on the hills and ridges.

More than 1,000 young people carried baskets on their backs and went all the way forward.

At first, everyone felt relaxed.

Thirty pounds of baskets on the back, as if there were none.

However, as time goes by, many people begin to notice that the weight of the back basket on their backs is getting heavier and heavier.

By the time they had walked about ten miles or so, a large number of people began to fall behind.

Many frail literati even felt as if their legs had been filled with lead, which was extremely heavy, and the back basket on their backs was like Mount Tai, and their shoulders were even more sore, and they had no strength in their bodies.

So, complaints abounded, and the roads were full of complaints.

"Why do you want to build such a level in this waiter?" Someone said: "My generation of scholars, reading poetry and books, is it just to work hard?" ”

"Mencius said: Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people!"

"Now that Xinfeng chooses a scholar with strength and endurance, how can this be a good treatment for the doctor?"

Someone just lay on the side of the road, like a dead snake, not wanting to move.

The grievances and discussions of these people reached the ears of the onlookers on both sides of the road, and everyone laughed.

I don't know which good deeds made a ballad, and soon, the children on both sides of the road clapped their hands and sang a ballad on the side of the road: "Big husband, seven feet tall, thirty pounds of basket can't be carried, what else do you talk about?" ”

Many people listened to the ballad, their faces darkened, and they silently stood up again, even if their legs weighed a thousand pounds and their shoulders seemed to be hanging a mountain, they had to continue to grit their teeth and move forward.

There is no way!

Even children are making songs and laughing at themselves, and if they don't move, they can die.

When you are a scholar and a literati, you can lose anything.

You can't lose face and backbone.

At least, you can't make a fool of yourself in public.

So, in the eyes of onlookers, there was a scene of shock.

Many people, although they have even walked crookedly, and many people even have to take three steps and stop one step, they are still gritting their teeth and trekking without saying a word.

No more complaints, no more complaints.

Then there were no more jokes among the people, and no more singing songs from the children.

Everyone gave these people a look of respect and admiration.

They really deserve respect!

Isn't it?

Even Zhang Yue quickly heard about this, and then he and Liu Jin rode their horses to catch up with these literati who were on the road, walking and stopping, although they seemed to have collapsed.

Zhang Yue was silent, and Liu Jin's eyes were a little moist.

There are such young people, there are such literati.

The future of this country and nation will surely shine brightly!

"It's me who underestimated the heroes of the world!" Zhang Yue said heartily in his heart.

Facts have proved that the literati of the Han family still have backbone, integrity, and responsibility.

At the very least, they are better than their disciples and grandchildren, I don't know how many times.

The water is too cold and the scalp is itchy, and in front of them, they are not even qualified to lift shoes!
