Chapter 245: Martial Arts (13)

The gate valve system is a relationship system, and if you have a relationship, you can become an official and rank among the upper echelons of society. These relationships are the love of blood relatives, cousins, fellow villagers, the same year, and the love of teachers and students. Political resources have already been controlled by the gate valve, unlike later generations, which need to be competed by the people of the world. Before the Tang Dynasty, whoever was the official was basically appointed by a few people, and cronyism was not a crime, and the entire court was like this. Xu Qing refused the rich businessman's request before, firstly because of the thoughts of the future generations in his head, and secondly, because that person was not related to his relatives and did not have a trace of "affection", so he gave him an official for a little silver, which was too cheap. Moreover, there is no shame in cronyism, but if you let others benefit, you will be laughed at.

On Xu Qing's top, there is only one Li Yuan to support him, and indirectly there is the support of the rest of Li Yuan's group. In the court, Xu Qing called him brother when he saw an official, in order to climb the friendship of the same year. Now as an examiner, to choose strange talents among the unsuccessful candidates is to build a good relationship between teachers and students and give those people the grace of knowing them. These relationships seem to be useless now, but once public opinion is needed to support them in the future, these forces will have the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea.

Therefore, Xu Qing decided to promote his fellow villagers.

A teahouse that Xu Qing frequented, there were a few people standing cramped, and Xu Qing had been observing him for a long time. But when I saw a few of them, they were respectful, and although there was some nervousness on their faces, there was no irritability. Xu Qing nodded secretly and asked Zhao Gong to call a few of them in. Xu Qing was thinking, as long as these fellow villagers are not particularly incompetent, as long as they can pass the examination of the three subjects in the infield, it is not difficult for Xu Qing to give them a ceremony, and even a dignified Si Ge is not impossible...... If they are too weak, they can only blame themselves for not being angry, and at most squint their eyes and choose a halberd for them. However, the position of halberd is difficult to get ahead, and it will not be of much help to Xu Qing in the future. Xu Qing originally wanted the people of the Dark River to be the halberd, so that he could unknowingly be placed beside the various officials.

In the blink of an eye, those people all went upstairs, bowed respectfully in front of Xu Qing, and snorted on the floor with three rings, Xu Qing felt pain when he heard it. Ringing the head is different from kowtowing, even if it is to bow to the emperor, it only needs to stick the face to the ground, while the ringing head is used by the younger generation to make filial piety to the elders. The meaning of the person who makes the prostrations is "I am your son, or I am your grandson", which is usually seen in later generations when asking for money.

Xu Qing nodded and told them to stand up and reply, not that Xu Qing didn't let them sit, but for their sake, they would feel more uncomfortable when they sit. Besides, the reason why Xu Qing likes this restaurant is because it uses chairs first, and I don't know if these people will use it.

Those few people secretly glanced at each other, frightened by Xu Qing's silence, and one of them rolled his eyes and said to Xu Qing: "I have admired Xuanping Hou for a long time, and I have found Xuanping Hou in my relationship, and now I have seen it, and I will not bother Xuanping Hou if I have no regrets in this life." ”

Xu Qing smiled when he heard this, and stopped him and said, "It's full, I still want to talk to you about my hometown, I don't know how Luonan is doing?" Xu Qing called this an awkward chat, before today, he and the two had never met, but now they have to talk about their family.

Those people were overjoyed when they heard this, which meant that Xu Qing recognized them from their hometown. With Xu Qing's friendship, he also has face in Chang'an. So he arched his hand and said: "Luonan Ruixue is a good year, after the beginning of spring, the government and the people are harmonious, the crops are growing gratifyingly, the merchants are circulating, and the craftsmen are full of goods." Before I set off, I was glad to hear that Lord Xu had enshrined the Marquis of Xuanping, and he was born late and had honors. ”

Xu Qing nodded and said: "Hehe, since the government and the people are harmonious, the crops are rising well, and the official will have no homesickness." Ahem, how many of you have completed the triage, are you a civil general or a military general? Do you shoot over the horse? ”

Four of them said that they were military generals, and one said that they were civil generals, and the general was the one who answered Xu Qing's words. Moreover, the military generals have passed the horse and shot at the horse, and the generals have also passed another round of written examinations.

Xu Qing's laughter began, and after the outfield, there were only less than 5,000 people left in the infield, and some of them went to Wenjiang's side. And Xu Qing needs to choose 3,000 people from this part of the people to supplement his Xuanwumen defenders, according to this ratio, that is to say, several people in Luonan have a chance to be under his control. When those people saw that Xu Qing was happy, they also laughed along. Xu Qing smiled abruptly, and those people also stiffened their faces and stopped laughing.

Xu Qing took a sip of tea, and the few people said with interest: "Late retirement." "When they left, they actually had a bottom in their hearts, and even if they couldn't go to high school in the future, they wouldn't end up being inferior.

After thinking about the future layout of the teahouse for a while, Xu Qing was no longer in the mood to doze off, and paced back to Xuanwu Gate.

Walking into the Xuanwu Gate, Er Xiao was also there, Xu Qing smiled and went in, but found that Er Xiao's face was very serious, and he was at ease to read the book there.

What's going on? So serious today? Is it enlightened?

"Hey, what kind of book are you reading today?" Xu Qing was puzzled and asked, "Why do you see that I am still so serious?" ”

Er Xiao didn't answer, and shook his head specifically, as if to prevent Xu Qing's interference.

"Uh, what's the matter, did I offend you somewhere? Okay, okay, children don't care about adults, I apologize to you, okay? ”

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded behind Xu Qing: "Xu Qing, I am here to teach them scriptures, don't make trouble." ”

Xu Qing's face suddenly seemed to have broken the dye vat: "Roar, roar, Li Dahei...... No, no, old man Li, why are you here! Xu Qingxin said, fortunately he didn't call out Li Dahei's face, otherwise today's crime of disrespect would not be able to escape.

Li Yuan snorted and said, "What are you shouting about?" Old man Li? Okay, well, I want to cure you for this disrespectful crime in front of my two emperors and grandchildren today......"

Xu Qing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How dare the minister disrespect the emperor, the minister is honored at this time!" ”

"Dare to quibble." Li Yuan said with a cold face: "I really shouldn't let you be the master of my emperor and grandson. ”

Xu Qing explained: "No, no, no, your Majesty, listen to my explanation...... 'old' means longevity, and longevity is old for 10,000 years." Your Majesty, as the emperor, should be long live, and only Your Majesty should be called 'old' among the people in the world. The 'head' is the head of all things, and the head of all things under heaven is the head. Your Majesty is rich all over the world, more expensive than the people, the head of the country, and the people look up to him, of course, the head. 'Zi' is the name of a sage, and Confucius and Mencius are both called Ziyan. Call it 'old man' and even honorable titles! ”

The ancient sages' ability to pat on the back is really high! Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and after listening to Xu Qing's explanation, Erxiao also lowered his head and laughed. I saw their backs arched one after another, obviously wanting to laugh and hold back. Li Yuan couldn't help laughing, and he couldn't scold Xu Qing angrily, so he said, "Okay, count your explanation as if you have passed the test." ”

After Xu Qing finished explaining, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The minister doesn't know that the emperor is here, and the crime of collision is still asking the emperor for forgiveness." ”

Old man Li waved his hand and said, "I passed by here first, heard a few slogans shouted outside the Xuanwu Gate, and became interested, so I arrived here." ”

Xu Qing said with a smile: "The minister doesn't know the method of training, he only knows how to let the soldiers practice their momentum, but in fact, it is a showmanship, and I ask the emperor for guidance." ”

"Fancy shelf? Xu Qing, why are you still saying these humble words in front of me, I don't know what kind of urine you are? Li Yuan said with a smile: "Your military orders are forbidden, your momentum is magnificent, and you have all practiced meat, your method of training soldiers, five hundred years before and after, and the other troops in the entire Tang Dynasty are also the best of the best." ”

Xu Qing patted his sleeves and arched his hand: "To get the praise of Your Majesty, the soldiers of the ministers and the ministers will work together to go further!" ”

"Well, with a general like you, and this kind of soldier guarding the Xuanwu Gate, my back is very peaceful." Li Yuan said again: "It's just that the formation you created is indeed a sharp weapon for the war cavalry, and it would be a pity if you could only guard this Xuanwu Gate." ”

Xu Qing immediately said: "I am willing to follow Your Majesty to fight in all directions and pacify the Turks!" ”

Li Yuan waved his hand, pulled Xu Qing to another place and said, "This, Xu Qing, the soldiers selected from the Shence Army, are there any troublemakers?" ”

Xu Qing shook his head, expressing his appreciation that there were no thorns yet. However, Xu Qing was not in the barracks these days, and he knew that some things had been suppressed by Zhuge Yan. However, since it can be suppressed, it is not a big problem.

Li Yuan instructed Xu Qing to be careful, and try to put forward the second-minded people as much as possible. Xu Qing complained in his heart, where can this be eliminated quickly? Alas, try your best, when the people of Dark River enter the barracks, and those unsuccessful tributes come, Xu Qing will be able to dilute the people among them.

In the end, Xu Qing found the barracks, gathered everyone, and started the first game after the Shence soldiers came in. The copper coins that were rewarded were enough to pile up a hill on five tables. However, this time it made the people of Xuanwumen breathe a sigh of relief. After the people of the Shence Army came in, they saw that the people of the Xuanwu Sect were relatively short, and they practiced some strange things every day, although their bodies looked strong, but the eyes of the Shence Army still revealed more or less contempt.

On this day, except for a few soldiers of the Shence Army, the others who received the reward were all veterans led by Xu Qing. Moreover, Xu Qing found that after the new recruits came in, his veterans were less lazy. And those soldiers of the Shence Army were more perfunctory to the competition held by Xu Qing, but they didn't pay attention to it, and they arrived in the auxiliary queue.

They were not happy, and Zhuge Yan said, "Come here, you have to learn more", and suppressed those rebellious voices. It seems that Zhuge Yan's prestige in this army is not small. Prestige is not something that you can build by being fierce, but something that you can build by rewarding and punishing clearly.

With the rewards and punishments of this competition, the newly formed troops have all begun to compete secretly, and no one is willing to embarrass their circle. Xu Qing is happy to see this situation, there is competition to make progress, as for cooperation, it is necessary to pull out for training.

When returning to Xuanwu Gate, Xu Qing suddenly remembered something, when he first arrived at Xuanwu Gate, Xu Qing found the body of the Yin World Master. And others don't know that there is a treasure map on the Yin World Master, in the past, Xu Qing was afraid of causing trouble, so he easily went out of the Xuanwu Gate to the Forbidden Garden, but recently, what ......

Someone's curiosity is starting to wave.
