The king of Chu issued a guest summons and ordered the scholars and guests of other countries who were officials and officials in Chu to leave Chu. The reason is very simple, that is, the position of the Chu people, the Chu people live in it, and the Lu people of the Chu country eat it. The world is so big, the wanderers are not nowhere to stay, the king of Chu disregards the heart of the world corporal and sends off guests, there must be a king who will stay in order to win the heart of the world corporal, but some people can't go, if these people go, it's like a spider's web being punctured, and it may not be completed in ten or twenty years.

"The Queen Mother has said King Jing, King Jing has not said why he is driving away guests." In the unknown corner of Ying, the woman in the long skirt swaying on the ground is still covered with a silk brocade, she is from the Chu Palace, and most of the things in the palace are known. The Queen Mother asked again: Do the Zhao people also want to send them away. King Jing said that the ministers discussed that they would send away if they were not Jing people, and Zhao people were also in this case. The Queen Mother was displeased and said that she would send me away, but King Jing was silent. ”

"It seems that there is really no room for turning around this matter." Jue Jun was very helpless, he couldn't say what he was suffering about. The send-off order is that the spies in Chu are gone, and this is not a problem of shrinking the intelligence network, but a problem of many important people losing contact. He didn't give up and said: "Can you talk about it to the Queen Mother again, it's best to make her leave the country in anger?" ”

"I'm afraid it's useless. Xun Qing left Chu as a prince, and this great rebellion was also, King Jing said, "I am a barbarian", did not stay, only sent people to see him off. The Queen Mother Yu Chu is the Queen Mother, and when she returns to Zhao State, she is no longer the Queen Mother, and she should not go. The woman said her judgment, but when she turned her eyes, she saw that Xuan Jun was glaring at her, so she had to say, "I'll try." ”

"You don't have to try." Jue Jun changed his mind again, "You can ask who is offering this strategy." When he saw the woman again, he was puzzled, and said, "This strategy is extremely vicious, not only to drive away customers, but anyone who opposes this strategy is regarded as an outlier." You should not provoke their mother and son on this matter before the Queen Mother, but carefully persuade the Queen Mother to let her understand King Jing's difficulties, and then ......"

Then the woman knew what to do, and because of this, she was a little panicked. What is the purpose of approaching King Jing so hard?

"How is Mi Xuan in the palace?" The send-off was skipped, and Ju Jun said something else.

"Mi Xuan was ordered by the Empress Dowager Zu to enter Jing, and the Empress Dowager wanted to marry Princess Qian into the Qin Palace, but King Jing did not allow it." The woman said again.

"Just for that?" Qin Jun didn't want to ask more about the affairs of his relatives, especially at this time, Changping Jun Xiong Qi was the prime minister.

"I'm afraid I'm coming for pro-Qin. King Jing was very kind to Mi Xuan, and made him a scribe in the main bed. Mi Xuan is smart, and it is said that there are many books in the Qin Palace...... "The woman began to say what she heard every day, and when she said it, Xuan Jun just listened, and did not make a sound.

"How old is this girl?" After listening to this, Xuan Jun asked another question.

"The year is just over." The woman said. "I've seen it once, it's beautiful, and the northerners are tall. Compared with Princess Qian, Chunlan and Qiuju have their own victories. She did not enter the Chu Palace, and the Queen Mother was displeased, so King Jing ordered her to live in Yangyuntai. Yes, there is one more thing," the woman suddenly thought of one thing, "after the dynasty and the country, King Jing will enforce the nationality law." ”

"Nationality law?" Xuan Jun was puzzled, but just looking at the literal meaning, he was a little clear, and he sighed again: "This is changing the law!" ”

The 23,000 scholars took the big test, which was to open all the palaces in the entire Yingdu, and there was no such a large examination room, so most of the scholars could only be arranged in the open-air examination room. The open-air examination room is actually the open space in the city of Yingdu, in the brilliant spring light, there is a low table and a pair of straw mats every five feet on the grass full of green grass.

When Xiao He entered the table, he saw a sign inserted on the grass with two big characters 'Pei County' written on it. Look at the seat again, there is a small piece of pale yellow paper pasted in the corner of the low table, with the words 'Pei County, Lu Juan' written on it, and then look at the next seat, the yellow paper reads 'Pei County, Liu Bang'. There are many people in Pei County who come to Yingdu to take the big test, and Yongya said that there are 184 people in total. He was looking for a seat, and others were also looking for a seat, and the more people sat down, the more and more people sat down, and he finally found a low table with 'Pei County, Xiao He' written on it and sat down.

The green grassland of the past, today's big test site. Yingdu City at the end of the grassland is not only closed, but it is also rumored to have done an examination room. When Xiao He looked westward, the bell rang, everyone was puzzled, a team of temple people came out of the palace, every two temple people followed three or four people, the temple people held the exam papers that had just been issued, some of them entered the big city, some entered the grassland.

Under the watchful eyes of the 183 scholars in Pei County, the temple people and the erectors finally rushed to the front. A few people didn't speak, but just counted the number of people who had entered the test, and peeled off the yellow paper on the few that had not been seated. Suddenly, the bell rang again, and the head of the temple shook everyone, and said: "The temple people surround, more, invigilated the test of Pei County." Instructions for the big test:

First, the big test is not to elect officials, but to select township teachers, excellent people can enter Yingying for learning, and return to their hometowns for teaching, I hope you will remember.

Second, the big test is two hours, Yan eats up, and the corner is stopped. The clock rings in the corner, you wait to hand over the test paper to the old slave, don't delay. There is a time for the old slave to go out of the palace and enter the palace in this big test, and he will not be punished if he expires, so he will not wait.

Third, the test bell rings for a quarter of an hour, and those who are late are not allowed to enter, and they are not allowed to hand in the papers until the food is finished. Scholars can go to the toilet.

Fourth, during the big test, scholars are not allowed to make noise, talk to each other, look left and right, entrain, observe, plagiarize or intentionally let others copy, and are not allowed to copy ......"

There are few instructions before the exam, and the temple people quickly finished reading. But the scholars heard it with novelty, and it was also novel to take such an exam. As for whether to be an official or a village teacher, everyone has already weighed it in their hearts. Mao Sui recommended himself, and now what everyone wants is for the king to put himself in his bag in order to get out of the bag. Zhenying came out, and he will be an official one day.

The test paper was finally sent down, and the printing instrument printed the test paper very exquisitely, the most surprising thing is that the words on it are not Chu characters, but Song characters, and the questions are even more unique, the first question is: How old is Song Guozuo? Try to give examples of Song people you admire, and tell the reason for the reverence.

How old is Song Guozuo? Xiao He was stunned for a while. He not only remembered the Song Kingdom, which had been in exile for 49 years, but also the Xiao Kingdom, which had been in exile for 360 years, and his ancestors were Xiao Guoren. Every time the patriarch sacrifices, he will remember the Xiao Kingdom more than 300 years ago, and his coronation ceremony also has the same warning.

This kind of question is not the only one on the test paper, but there are also arithmetic and Pentateuch poems. On the whole, it is not difficult, and it is a relatively simple knowledge. The only thing that puzzled Xiao He was this question: pulling out seedlings to help grow, guarding the plants and waiting for rabbits, savages offering exposure, and Zhizi suspicious neighbors...... why do countries often make fun of the Song people?

"I've seen the king." The barren grass in the big city and the city was crowded with the soldiers of the big test, and when the exam was about to end, Xiong Jing, who had changed his clothes, came out to inspect. The king changed his costume and the temple people recognized it, and they were about to salute, but he stopped them.

Xiong Jing just wanted to come and see that such an exam was the first time for the Chu State. More than 20,000 scholars, about one-tenth to one-fifteenth, will be admitted, and after admission, they will become the first batch of normal students, study at Yingdu Normal School for one and a half to two years, and then graduate, and begin formal teaching in the fall of the following year.

The time left for the state of Chu is not sufficient, but the time for training teachers is very long, but no matter how rich it is, it will take so much time to train teachers. In the villages, teachers are important, with the status equivalent to shamans, or priests, and are respected by all. It's just that these scholars are all from private learning, if you can't add the string of courage and martial arts in your mind, then you should match one or two honorable scholars who graduated from military schools in the township school to teach students to be brave, and I am most afraid that their minds will be filled with Mencius-style benevolence and righteousness, then it will be incorrigible.

The controversy between Confucianism and Law, Xun Guo's "Non-Fourteen Sons", and ...... Non-Yang Jimo, the ideological struggle has existed hundreds of years ago, and to ignore it is to deceive oneself and others. Mencius-style benevolence and righteousness are the most attractive to scholars who have no power to bind chickens, and when they move their mouths, others will have to pay for themselves, otherwise they will be rich and unkind.

For such people, it is useless to debate, they use the righteousness of the world as a weapon, and he is justified in whatever he says. The best thing to do is to be simple and rude, with a stick or a simple sword, and the matter is over - it seems to remember that when Alexander conquered a certain place, there was a knot in the temple that no one could untie, and the oracle said that whoever could untie this knot would rule and become the king of the place. Alexander did not untie the knot, but he split it in half with a single sword.

The moral of the story is very simple, what is difficult to solve with wisdom, force only needs a sword. With Mencius's Confucian theory, it is like untying the knot in the temple, following the way of others to solve the problem, and turning their problems into their own problems, and the misfortunes of the world into their own misfortunes.

If we abandon the premise of 'all the people under heaven', which was imposed by Confucianism, all problems will be solved very well. It's like chasing away guests now, 'the corporal of the world' is a premise, and if you are afraid of the 'corporal of the world', the guest will not be able to chase away, and the Qin spy will not be able to clean up. It doesn't matter what the 'corporal of the world' thinks, do your own thing, and things will become very simple.

Inspecting the examination room, Xiong Jing was not really inspecting, but wanted to reorganize his governing ideas: first of all, he is the king of Chu and a Chu person, which is the premise of everything. Therefore, he only cares about the interests of the Chu State, and more importantly: the interests of the Chu people, except for this, everything else is a business and can be ignored.

"The king......" A temple man didn't know that the king had something in his heart, so he rashly came to report it, causing Xiong Jing to glare at him.

"What?" Xiong Jing, whose train of thought was interrupted, asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, please look over there." This is the examination room in Chen County, and the temple people pointed not far away, where there were several women in dark clothes.

"Woman?" Xiong Jing remembered that Qu Sui said that there were women participating in this big test, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"You go check it out." Xiong Jing himself looked too ostentatious in the past, and he instructed Mi Xuan to go.

Mi Xuan was wearing a scribe's clothes, her hair was all tucked into her hat, her eyebrows were picturesque, her skin was fair, and she knew that she was a woman at a glance. The women sitting on the table were writing carefully, and her inspection did not alarm anyone. After she came back, she said: "I am indeed talented and learned, and the words are also written Juanxiu." ”

"It seems that there are female teachers in the Chu country." Xiong Jing said meaningfully, and after speaking, he felt that the three words of the female teacher were extremely evil.
