Volume 5 The General Trend of the World Chapter 47 The Precursor of Wind and Rain

Yan Yan has always been one and the same in the Yan family, and Yan Yan's fiery temper, others dare not provoke him, and the Yan family can only hand over the extra one to Tianfu obediently. []

As for the other families, although they don't have a heart, but their arms can't reach their thighs, and Yicheng's Tian Fu is not too much, and it is not too much to say less. Anyway, these families don't rely on this Chengtian Fu to eat, and they can't offend the emperor for the sake of this mere Tianfu, so none of these families objected.

What Adou needs is the effect of boiling frogs in warm water, slowly canceling the poll tax and transferring it to the field endowment, where those who have more fields pay more taxes, and those who have less fields pay less taxes.

……

A month later, the Takeshi Department, which was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, finally began.

A long time ago, Adou began to prepare for the martial arts, and a year ago, Chang'an released the news that the martial arts department was opened, and anyone who is strong in martial arts can participate. The top 100 can participate in the palace examination, which is considered by His Majesty personally, and the top 50 can be selected to join the army as generals, of which 50 to 20 can be Yamen generals, 10 to 20 can be cavalry governors or Qudu, the top 10 can be lieutenant generals, and the top three are more likely to be named generals.

Wuke set up five subjects of competition, namely competition, foot combat, horse combat, archery and the art of war. If you can occupy the top 20 in the project, you will get a bronze medal, and you can also directly participate in the palace examination.

Also Adou also designed a little, that. It is not limited to the registration of officers and soldiers in the army, which also increases the difficulty of the competition.

The so-called Wen has no first, Wu has no second, this one. The competition is like competing for the first place in the world, not to mention that for some martial artists, this is a good opportunity to win fame, but from the information presented by some junior selections, there are not many great generals. There are even some people who don't know anything in vain trying to come to make up for it, and more people are still in a wait-and-see state, after all, this is the first time to martial arts, and many people don't know about it and don't dare to try.

Among the five subjects, participate in the competition and step. There were the most battles, and the competition was the most intense, while the number of horse battles and archery was much less, and as for the competition in the art of war, there were less than 100 people. After all, many martial artists are good at being literate, and they are not proficient in the art of war at all.

For such a result, it was not unexpected by Adou. The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the early peace period has been thirty years now. Thirty years of turmoil have led to the displacement of people everywhere, and the people have not been able to live a stable life. On the other hand, the family will be much better, so talents are gradually accumulating in the direction of the family. If ten years ago it was possible to find one or two decent talents among the children of the common people, it is much more difficult to find talents from the children of the common people now.

As the war lasted longer and longer, civilian officials and military generals gradually changed. became hereditary. Many second-generation or even third-generation relatives of officials have grown up, and some of these second-generation officials may not be better than their parents, but there are also many who are stronger than their parents. Take Shu as an example, many officials are fathers and sons, brothers, uncles and nephews are officials in the same dynasty, and they abound. In this case, there are no outstanding talents cultivated among the common people, so the level of the children of the commoners who participate in the martial arts is far inferior to that of the children of the family.

For ordinary people, this martial arts is more like watching a show. Lively in general. For example, in the selection of the competition, it is selected by lifting boulders of different weights, and the foot combat competition is naturally a battle between two people, and the archery competition is mainly based on shooting targets, which is much more lively than the temple fair in the eyes of ordinary people.

The first martial arts, the Ministry of Rites did not have much experience, and also exposed a lot of shortcomings, and the noise lasted for more than ten years, and finally some people were selected to participate in the palace examination. Among them, as many as 80% are from the military.

Although the years of the war consumed a lot of soldiers, it also produced a group of experienced veterans. Veterans who have been on the battlefield and experienced life and death battles and survived, experienced or baptized by war, and their strength is stronger than that of ordinary warriors.

And in the end, the top two in the top three martial arts are also from the army, both of them are centurions, and those who can be promoted from soldiers to centurions in the Shu army have to have the credit of seven or eight heads, so the two are excellent soldiers. However, this martial arts top three can be promoted to general. From a centurion to a general at once, it can only be achieved through Wuke.

With the end of Wuke, a big emperor list also appeared in Chang'an City, and the people on the list were naturally from Wuju High School.

In Weiyang Palace, the reward for this high school martial arts has also been prepared. There are hundreds of middle-level generals all of a sudden, and the top three in the martial arts department have all been named generals.

The general can already be regarded as a middle-level general, and under normal circumstances, a general can bring four or five thousand people, which is equivalent to an official at the level of a city guard. However, the Three Kingdoms have been fighting for so many years, and the population is getting smaller and smaller, and the number of troops led by this general is also getting smaller and smaller. Therefore, the number of generals and soldiers has shrunk.

Regarding the reward of the high school martial arts general, the ministers did not have many objections. After all, all of this martial arts were shot with a knife, and the whole process was very transparent, and the people in Chang'an City could see it clearly. And the final palace exam, the emperor personally presided over the exam, if the ministers have objections, it is equivalent to giving Adou a slap in the face, no one will be stupid enough to do such a thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to themselves.

Adou nodded very satisfied, it seems that this martial arts competition is acceptable to everyone, if you can find an opportunity to expand to the civil service, this imperial examination will have eyebrows.

……

Finally, a month later, Adou found a good opportunity.

When Liu Bei went on the Northern Expedition, Hanzhong, as Liu Bei's rear, undertook the heavy responsibility of supplying the army with grain and grass, and it was Zhuge Liang who was in Hanzhong at that time, and later Zhuge Liang also arrived in Yongzhou, and it became Li Yan who sat in Hanzhong.

The war was over, and there was no need for Li Yan to sit in Hanzhong, so Adou ordered to promote Li Yan to the general of the expedition to the west, lead the history of Liangzhou assassination, fake festival, and go to Liangzhou to sit in town.

Li Yan was transferred to Liangzhou, and Adou was not prepared to continue to set up the position of governor of Hanzhong, but restored the old system and changed it to Hanzhong Taishou.

However, this Hanzhong Taishou suddenly became a fat shortage.

Weiyang Palace lobby.

Adou looked at the courtiers in the hall, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the post of Taishou in Hanzhong is vacant, do you Aiqing have a suitable candidate?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang seemed to have an idea, and was about to stand up, but he heard Adou in front of him say: "Hanzhong is an important grain producing area in Yizhou, and there is no room for loss, this Hanzhong is too responsible for it, so let's do it, if you Aiqing has a suitable candidate, write a charter and submit it!" ”

The ministers were suddenly surprised. It stands to reason that such a thing is recommended by a few auxiliary ministers in the court, and then slowly discussed, how to rewrite the charter today!

Below, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong glanced at each other, and Zhuge Liang was asking Pang Tong very clearly in his eyes, which one is Your Majesty singing.

Pang Tong shook his head slightly, the doubts revealed in his eyes were obviously in response to Zhuge Liang, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Alright, let's retreat!" Adou waved his hand and turned to leave.

Zhuge Liang approached Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan, what is Your Majesty doing here?" ”

"Maybe Your Majesty is tired, that's why let's write a charter." Pang Tong said.

"Tired? I don't see it" Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Your Majesty's martial arts, you don't know it, if I wait for the scholar to stand all morning and feel tired, it is still possible, but Your Majesty is young and strong, it should not be tired." ”

"Well, that's right, why don't we go to Your Majesty to find out the news later?" Pang Tong asked.

"Hmph, forget it, Your Majesty is like this, there must be a deep meaning, and we will do what Your Majesty says later, and write a charter and hand it over." Zhuge Liang said happily.

……

Hanzhong Taishou is a fat shortage, and he is an official with real power, so in just one day, Adou received more than 20 recitals, more than 20 recitals, and recommended a total of more than a dozen people to be Hanzhong Taishou. Among these dozen or so people, a few are really capable and have already made political achievements in the local area, some are some well-known people, and there are even some children of a family that Adou has never heard of.

Three days later, the morning dynasty.

Adou pointed to the thick layer of folds on the table, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, regarding the position of the Taishou of Hanzhong, you Aiqing have recommended a lot of candidates to me, and I have also read them, and there are a few of them who I like very much. As for the specific candidates...... I can't decide for a while. ”

After Adou finished speaking, he named a few people, all of whom were Adou's favorite candidates, and then said: "These people I like are all heroes in the world. ”

As Adou spoke, the courtiers in the hall began to discuss, everyone said a word, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong stood in place, squinting slightly, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves.

This is fighting, and most of the hours have passed. But there was still no result. At this time, Adou felt that the time was almost up, so he coughed lightly.

"Ahem......" With Adou coughing lightly, the ministers all quieted down.

"Hehe, I think what you Aiqing said is very reasonable, but when you Aiqing says this, I have no idea!" Adou pretended to be helpless, and then said: "And among the candidates mentioned by Aiqing, there are also many people who I have never seen. Therefore, I decided to recruit these candidates to the palace, and let me consider them in this hall...... It's like the martial arts test a few days ago. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Pang Tong understood Adou's trace in an instant, and immediately stood up and shouted in favor.

And the other courtiers are still stunned, this is the first time that they have been elected as officials, so everyone feels very fresh, and at the same time they are thinking about what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd if Adou does this.

……

As Adou planned, so many people in the main hall came to consider it, and it was really immediate, although there was no first place in this article, but in the court competition, it was still easy to distinguish who was superior and who was inferior.

But Adou also knew about this imperial examination, and he couldn't be in a hurry. Now it's just a start, let you first familiarize yourself with several systems of the imperial examination.

The so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, and there has always been a rule in the court, there is a law according to the law, and there is no law according to the system. It means that when dealing with things, if there is a law to follow, it will be done in accordance with the laws and regulations, and if there is no legal basis, it will be done according to the ancestral system, see how the ancestors did it, and then draw a scoop according to the gourd. Therefore, as long as it is the beginning, there will be a chance to implement it in the future.

Compared to the Juntian system that Jiangdong Kaijiangnan made, Adou's martial arts did not cause much shock. After all, not everyone has the far-reaching vision of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, so many of the Eastern Wu courtiers of Wei felt that this was probably a trick made by the little emperor of Shu Han who was idle and bored. After all, this martial arts department did not select a very powerful general, and the effect is not very strong, so everyone should watch a lively show.

……

Koto.

Sun Quan is only over forty years old, which is the age of physical strength, and Sun Quan's eldest son, that is, the crown prince Sun Deng, is one year younger than Adou, but with Adou in power, Sun Quan also began to consciously cultivate Sun Deng.

Sun Deng is a kind-hearted person, and his personality is somewhat weak, and Sun Quan's least favorite thing is Sun Deng. If it is good in peacetime, the monarch is kind-hearted and can make the country and the people safe, but now it is a troubled time, and Sun Deng's character is obviously not suitable for this era.

When Sun Jian died, Sun Quan was still young, and when Sun Ce died of illness, Sun Quan was only eighteen years old, this experience made Sun Quan much more precocious than his peers, so in Sun Quan's view, the reason why Sun Deng is this kind of character is entirely because he did not suffer from training when he was a child.

In order to hone Sun Deng, Sun Quan gave Sun Deng a thousand men and horses, a number of warships, and ordered Sun Deng to lead the army to conquer Yizhou.

For Sun Quan, it doesn't matter if he can defeat Yizhou or not, even if a thousand people and horses are wiped out, Sun Quan doesn't care, as long as he can cultivate a qualified heir, even if it is a matter of Adouba, it is worth it.

……

Slowly, it's early winter again.

After a winter rain, the temperature in Yecheng plummeted, and a thin layer of ice had formed in the moat.

In the palace of Yecheng, Cao Pi was lying on the bed, panting vigorously, and four charcoal stoves were placed next to Cao Pi's bed, and the charcoal inside was burned red.

Cao Pi was wrapped in four layers of brocade quilts, but he still felt very cold, and suddenly, Cao Pi realized that he was dying!

"Come on, come on, come on......" Cao Pi's faint breath exhaled, bringing out a trace of sound. Maybe it was because the voice was too quiet, and the eunuch next to him took a long time to react.

"Your Majesty......" The eunuch walked up to Cao Pi and poked his ears out.

"Quick, pass on Cao Xiu, Zhong Xuan, and Wang Chang, and enter the palace immediately to see me......"
