Early September. The expedition is nearing its end. Of the 5,800 candidates who participated in the first round, only 300 were selected.

This ratio is more than ten times worse, which is less than expected. And it caused a lot of controversy. This is all to blame for Yuan Xi's special topic - Song of the Saint.

These two words have multiple meanings. One is to praise the saints of olds and learn from them. The second is to praise the Son of the Present, because the Son of Heaven can also be called holy.

There is also a meaning, which is to praise his loyal monarch, such as Yuan Xi. Most students subconsciously think that this topic is a test of their understanding of saints.

They praised the ancient saints and praised them, although they were brilliant and well-written, they were temporarily detained by Yuan Xi, and they were not allowed to participate in the second stage of the exam, nor were they directly admitted.

There are also some students who guessed Yuan Xi's intention, the word 'praise to the saint', representing the emperor of the Han Dynasty. But they didn't dare to praise it, so they changed it to praise Yuan Xi's exploits.

There were only 300 people who were chosen. In the second stage, their character is tested. All kinds of temptations and traps of power, money, and beauty emerge in endlessly.

At this stage, the vast majority of students are fooled. Only a very small number of more than 70 people barely passed.

Now these 70 people are about to be sent to various places to carry out actual combat. Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, and Guo Tu gathered together and admonished Yuan Xi: "Lord, in the first stage, how are you going to deal with the group of people you left?" Tian Feng asked this.

"What do you think?"

"The ministers don't understand the lord's intentions." The three of them shook their heads, puzzled. Yuan Xi said: "The word "ode to the saint" has a deep meaning, haven't you understood it yet?" ”

"The minister understands a little." Frustrated: "Sooner or later, the lord will replace the emperor of Han and become the lord of the world." The lord hopes that all the ministers will have their hearts set on the lord and forget about the Han Dynasty. Those who praised the Son of Heaven were all eliminated by the lord, because he didn't want them to bring other officials badly. But the ministers didn't understand, why were those who did not praise the Son of Heaven also eliminated? Yuan Xi said: "They were not eliminated, they were just retained." Because they didn't even understand the meaning of the topic, they were not worthy of being local dignitaries. But... I read their article, and it is really well written, and I can send them to the 24th Division to be a small official. ”

"What I really value is the more than 70 people who have been selected. Not only did they pass the tests, but they also had no nostalgia for the Han Dynasty, and I was relieved that they would govern the place. ”......... Yuan Xi's words, when Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, and Guo Tu heard it, they didn't feel uncomfortable, but they were very excited.

Because they can see that Yuan Xi has great ambitions and will definitely be the Son of Heaven in the future. From now on, the layout will begin, and when Cao Cao and Liu Bei are eliminated, it will be logical to seize the world.

Guo Tu bowed his hand slightly: "The lord did the right thing." This group of officials can be focused on training. ”

"What level of people are arranged to be assigned to the 24th Division? Does the lord know what to expect? Frustrated asked.

"It's your business. Let's look at it. Yuan Xi picked up the booklet on the desk and flipped through it a few times: "These more than 70 people will be immediately sent to the counties of Wei County, and let them make county orders for half a month, and give official positions according to their results." ”

"Yes." Frustration took it. More than 70 people who were selected have been screened and tested layer by layer.

Their hometown is in Jizhou and Youzhou, which is where Yuan Shao and Yuan Xi started, with no bad records and excellent reviews.

The most important thing is that he did not show nostalgia for the Han Dynasty, and was a force that overthrew the Han Dynasty and supported Yuan Xi.

The secretary of the ministry personally led them to the ministry and assigned their duties. In five days, the county orders of Tiao Wei County and most of Pingyuan County were replaced.

Those who were replaced were all withdrawn to Yecheng and received a new round of education (inculcating the ideas of the new dynasty).

this day. The naval army stationed on Jeju Island has delivered a message. Far east of Jeju Island, thousands of islands have been discovered.

There lived a lot of dwarf people, a tiny country of tribes, calling itself Yamato. The king was a woman.

They sent people to contact them, saying that they were going to Middle-earth to worship the Han Emperor.

"Yamato?" When Yuan Xi was at the court meeting, he heard the news and walked back and forth, as if he was thinking about something.

The courtiers did not dare to speak, and waited quietly.

"Ministry of Rites."

"Yes." Cui Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was listed. Yuan Xi asked: "You should be familiar with the ancient historical books, in the Han Dynasty and the previous dynasty, was there a Yamato Kingdom to pay tribute?" Or overseas countries, subject to the Han Dynasty? ”

"Yes." Cui Yan was really knowledgeable, and immediately replied: "At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there were overseas slave countries that paid tribute to the Han Dynasty. He also learned the manufacturing methods of pottery, copper, and iron from Zhongtu, and later communicated with the imperial court many times, and gradually learned the cultivation and cultivation of rice. But since the Eastern Han Dynasty, few overseas countries have come to pay tribute, and this slave country has never appeared again. And because they were overseas, it was not easy to contact, and the imperial court did not control them. According to the report of the naval army on the Shandong Peninsula, the envoys of the Yamato Kingdom who wanted to come to Middle-earth to worship must have been slave countries at the beginning. ”

"I see..." Yuan Xi already roughly knew what the origin of the Yamato Kingdom that came to worship.

"Overseas envoys come to worship, we should pay attention to it, and the Ministry of Rites is ready..."

"Prepare what?" Cui Yan was only halfway through speaking, Yuan Xi seemed a little unhappy, and said, "You don't need to prepare anything, I have my own arrangements." You have to do whatever you have to do. ”

"My lord, this..." Cui Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was puzzled. Frustration also frowned: "This is... Why? ”

"I didn't want to receive, it's as simple as that. Let's scatter it. Yuan Xi brushed his sleeves and left. For the Yamato Kingdom that came to worship, there was no preparation for the reception, and no one was sent to deal with it.

Before receiving Yuan Xixin's order, the naval army of the Shandong Peninsula sent the envoys of the Yamato Kingdom to Liyang according to the usual practice.

Then the officials of Liyang took him to Yecheng. This journey of thousands of miles took more than a month. Until the beginning of October.

A group of dwarfs arrived on the streets of Yecheng, causing many onlookers. According to the etiquette, when foreign envoys come, as the court of the Central Plains (although it is only one prince), they should send all the ministers, at least let the Ministry of Rites to receive them.

But because of Yuan Xi, no one went. The envoys of the Yamato Kingdom entered the city so embarrassed, looking for a place to live by themselves, and they couldn't even enter the post house.

Frustrated Zhu really couldn't see it, and found Yuan Xi again: "Lord, this is too rude... Since ancient times, the Central Plains court has been a state of etiquette, and no matter which envoys come to worship, we should give the highest courtesy. But now I don't even say hello, this... If it spreads, I am afraid that the prestige of the court will be lost. "The latest chapter of the Super Imperial Beast System of the Three Kingdoms, Chapter 457, Thousand Islands Website:
