"I can't tell you the details, but I can't tell you the details," the servant recalled, "just to say, this time several counties will be tested together, and they will be divided into several parts, as if they will be tested three times or something." ”

"Three exams? Isn't this a temporary increase in literature, in order to alleviate the shortage of officials in that state, why do you have to take the exam three times? Since it is a screening with a huge scope, there must be a large number of people, why do you need to take the test three times? Is it because there are not enough invigilators, so it has to be shared? ”

Lu Shu thought like this, he was very puzzled, but his servant could find out the news, which was already good, how could he give him an answer?

So under the doubts in his heart, Lu Xu did not delay, so he went to the acquaintance to ask, and it happened that he was walking, but he ran into an acquaintance, who was Na Luoyang.

Luo Yang's temperament is that he likes to make friends with the children of the family, how can he not know a character like Lu Xu, so before Lu Xu passed, he came over first.

"Lu Jun, you are also here, don't you also want to see that old eunuch?" Luo Yang spoke, but he had no scruples, and while shouting disrespectful words, he walked over, not caring at all about the surprised eyes of others. ”

Lu Xuke didn't dare to make too much of it, and arched his hand and said: "It's just here to visit Mo Lao, isn't Jijing?" ”

"Me too, it's just that there are too many people here, and I used to be in the capital...... In Luoyang, the old eunuch had collided with him, so he couldn't save face, and he didn't go in, but he heard the news, and this time he was going to have a big battle. "Luo Yang's father is Luo Hou, and he often goes in and out of the capital, and the people he comes into contact with are different from ordinary people.

"Why, listening to your tone, it seems to hear something? Then I'm going to ask for advice. Lu Shu immediately asked.

Luo Yang didn't doubt him, so he said bluntly: "It's nothing, just say that a screening will be held in each county first, and then select people to take the exam in the state, and then ...... when the people from the three states are selected."

"Wait!" Lu Xuan frowned, "People from Sanzhou? ”

"Yes," Luo Yang didn't notice, but he also showed confusion, "It is said that counting the two places of Merge and Pingzhou, as long as you are innocent and have not committed adultery, you can apply for the exam." ”

Then he saw Lu Xu's expression, so he explained: "You probably don't know the military situation yet, Captain Zhang Fang has pacified Pingzhou, and is now returning to the division, that Pingzhou assassin Deng Fei has promised to return to the general mansion of Zhengbei, and the court of Guanzhong and the royal court of Jiangzuo have also sent decrees, one says that he wants to be a marquis for the general, and the other wants to give the general the title of governor of Zhengbei, which can control the three states......"

"Temperance of the three states, this power is not small," although there were still doubts, but when Lu Shu heard this, he couldn't help but mock, "It's just that the name of this marquis and temperance of the three states, if it is replaced by the strength of the imperial court, it is still an honor, but now that it is sent, it is not even the icing on the cake, it can only be said to be a fun, after all, these three states can be controlled, not by the imperial court decree, but by the Xuanjia soldiers!" ”

When Luo Yang heard this, he couldn't help nodding his head, and sighed: "Brother Lu really thinks the same way, it is really unfavorable to send it at this time, it is better to come to the four states of moderation, and include that Jizhou, which is still a little sincere." ”

Lu Shu listened, but shook his head and smiled: "They don't dare to do this." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"If it is only given to the name of the three states, although it is a little ridiculous, but at least it is worthy of the name, if it is given to the four states, then there is Shi Le in Jizhou, which has the meaning of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, how can the court on both sides dare to let the general have such a misunderstanding? It's not all about eradicating them all. ”

After Lu Shu finished speaking, Luoyang felt that it was very reasonable, and couldn't help nodding yes.

Lu Shu took the opportunity to ask: "When Captain Zhang returns, Pingzhou will be decided, so in this way, it is normal to include this place in Wenju, but in the land of Pingzhou, I am afraid that there are not many people who have read books, how can it be counted?" ”

Luo Yang shook his head and said, "It's not for me to know, I'm afraid the general has other arrangements." ”

Saying this, seeing that it was getting late, news came that the old eunuch was unwilling to see guests, so Lu Xu left with the helpless crowd.

But as soon as he arrived at the house, he noticed that the atmosphere in the house was a little wrong.

"Father, what's wrong?" When they came to the back room in the backyard, they immediately saw their father Lu Zhi, and many people in the clan this time not only the elders of the clan, but also many of Lu Zhi's peers, all with serious expressions.

"Have you heard about the Great Imperial Examination?" Lu Zhi asked.

"I already know," Lu Shu nodded, "Outside the altar, there are also many people who spread this matter, saying that it is the same examination in the three states, and they have gone through the county and middle school examinations, and then they have been compared in the states, and finally gathered in Jixian County for three tests." ”

Lu Zhi sighed and said, "Then do you know that who can participate in this screening?" ”

"He is a good son of a clean family," the news Lu Xu heard from Luo Yang was also comprehensive, "Isn't this the same as the past literary deeds?" ”

But one of his uncles couldn't help it, and complained directly: "Where is the same, but to break the foundation of my family's inheritance!" ”

"What's going on?" Lu Shu immediately realized that this matter was not simple, "How can such a serious problem be involved?" ”

Lu Zhi said: "This big imperial examination is not limited to the three states, but in the counties and counties to set up recruitment places, give three months to register, whether it is the children of the three states, or the scholars in other places, or even the people of Fanwaihu, as long as they want, they can apply for it, and after March, the unified examination!" ”

"What?" After hearing this, Lu Shu was stunned at first, and then was shocked, "This means that anyone who reads is a scholar is likely to be an official?" How can this work? Isn't this to cut off our foundation? And I don't know how many people will be fooled in, besides, most of the people from poor families are greedy for money and have no education, and they study but do not know the six arts, so we should advise ......"

In the end, Lu Shu was suddenly stunned.

And his elders smiled bitterly.

Lu Zhi sighed and said to his son, "You know it's amazing, right?" In the end, it's a general, which family dares to dissuade this step? ”

Lu Shu was stunned for a while before he muttered: "The previous assassination of Daijun was said to be a collusion between the Youzhou family and the outside world, and then it was revealed that the contact between the family and the Murong family has been confirmed, and these families are worried and have no way to ask for help, but they don't know when the general will do it, and which one will he do, now it seems that it is ......."

Lu Zhi took a deep breath, shook his head and said: "Yes, now it seems that it may be true to deal with the family, but this is not the goal, what the general really wants to do is to carry out this so-called imperial examination!" In the past, the civil and military moves were the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, but now the assassination is a bright knife, hanging on our heads, who dares to persuade, dare to make a move, the Xuanjia soldiers will be killed, and the road will be paved directly, this imperial examination ......"

"Unstoppable!"
