Although Ye Zhao did not promote the scientific examination with great fanfare, the way of selecting officials through assessment like this undoubtedly has subversive significance for the Han who is still in the recommendation system.

The scientific research does not have the conditions, and the promotion of printing technology has only been more than four years, and most of the people are busy with their livelihoods, and they have no time to devote their energy to reading, even if books are no longer the exclusive property of the family, but the price is still very expensive for ordinary people.

Therefore, Ye Zhao reduced the scale of the selection, only in Chengdu/Du Academy, as for the students in other counties and counties, only after studying hard and passing the assessment to enter Chengdu/Du Academy, can they have the opportunity to enter the office.

However, this kind of innovation is undoubtedly an exciting news for the poor people or ordinary students studying in various schools.

Guan Ping returned home happily, and after saying hello to Guan Yu, he began to take out his books in different categories for review, and it has been more than a year since he came to Chengdu/Du, Guan Ping feels that he has made a lot of progress, although he is not as good as Zhang Ren, but in the art of war, because of the teaching of Guan Yu and when he was in Youzhou, he has been taken by Guan Yu to experience some time in the army, and he is not weaker than other students.

Tomorrow's assessment is not only limited to civilian officials, the army also needs to recruit a group of new grassroots generals, such as Tun generals, military marquis, military Sima these hundred generals, Guan Ping is ready to participate in the assessment, he estimates his level in the art of war, even if he can't be a military Sima directly, there should be no problem in taking a military marquis.

This year, Guan Yu has lived comfortably in Shuzhong, and he no longer has to be caught between Gongsun Chan and his eldest brother Liu Bei, Ye Zhao treats him well, not to mention a small banquet on three days, and a big banquet on the fifth day, but in the hussar mansion, Guan Yu will be invited to join him during the New Year's holidays, and Ye Zhao knows that Guan Yu's original wife has died, and this year, he has enthusiastically introduced many women to Guan Yu, or the daughters of famous families in Shu, and there are also some relatives of college disciples.

It's just that Guan Yu feels that if he gets married here, he is afraid that it will be difficult to leave for the rest of his life, so he refuses several times, but Ye Zhao and the two ladies are tired of it, and they feel that if they like it, they will introduce it to Guan Yu, but they will not force it, it is all voluntary.

In addition, in the Chengdu/Du Academy, Guan Yu was also given a position of honorary art of war teaching, so that Guan Yu could earn a decent income, and it would not make him feel that he had become Ye Zhao's subordinate, and he did not have to go to the academy to lecture every day like other teachings, and the degree of freedom was very high.

Guan Yu's house in Chengdu/Capital was bought by Guan Yu himself, and the income from teaching in the academy is not expensive, enough for the family to have no worries about food and clothing, and the most gratifying thing for Guan Yu is that Guan Ping has really grown a lot in the past year.

Whether it is learning, martial arts or the art of war.

Guan Ping has sufficient practice in leading troops, and now he is taught by various generals under Ye Zhao in the academy, which is confirmed by previous experience, and it is naturally easier to absorb, among the students in the Chengdu/Du Academy, if only in terms of leading troops, Guan Ping is definitely a leader, even if it is Zhang Ren, who is valued by Ye Zhao, and Guan Ping also belongs to the level of chess opponents, but Zhang Ren is more comprehensive, not only is the study of war good, but also has good achievements in the law and moderation, so he is able to stabilize Guan Ping.

"Ping'er?" Guan Yu hasn't been to the academy for a few days, I don't know what happened, seeing Guan Ping's excited expression, he took Zhou Cang to Guan Ping's study with some curiosity, but saw Guan Ping reviewing the art of war.

His son is studious, which is a good thing, but in the past, Guan Ping did not have the habit of holding books to study after returning home, which made Guan Yu a little curious, and couldn't help but call out.

"Father." Seeing that it was Guan Yu, Guan Ping hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"How have I been ...... these days" Guan Yu looked at the books on the table and said with a smile: "Why are you working harder than before?" ”

"The academy will be assessed tomorrow, and those with excellent grades can join the army as generals, the highest can get the position of military commander, and the lowest is also a general. Guan Ping said with a smile.

"You're going to be a leader?" When Guan Yu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and frowned.

Usually when Guan Yu makes this expression, it means that Guan Yu is angry, Guan Ping somehow, hurriedly bowed down and said: "The child thinks that Ye Hou is a rare master in the world, since Ye Hou entered Sichuan, the people have all praised him, if he can serve under Ye Hou, the child will be able to show his strengths." ”

"Not allowed!" Guan Yu snorted.

"Why!?" Guan Ping raised his head, frowned at Guan Yu and said, "Yehou Wentao is not a martial artist, and he doesn't need to say it, just say that the changes in Shu in the past year, hasn't my father seen it?" The people of Shu have no hunger and cold because of Ye Hou, the people's livelihood is rich, all industries are prosperous, and they can be courteous and virtuous, and treat people kindly, Ye Hou once said in the academy that in this life, the greatest luck is to be able to find a place to give full play to their strengths, and Ye Hou is also quite polite to his father, why is his father so rejecting Ye Hou? ”

"Then let me ask you, if Ye Hou and your uncle fight in the future on the battlefield, who will you help?" Guan Yu asked in a deep voice.

"Self is Ye Hou." Guan Ping said loudly: "Eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries, besides, the child doesn't think that the uncle is qualified to fight against Ye Hou." ”

"Presumptuous!" Guan Yu was furious when he heard this, and raised his hand to throw a slap on Guan Ping's face, he was angry in his heart, this slap unconsciously moved his strength, Guan Ping was caught off guard, and was slapped by Guan Yu, half of his cheeks were swollen, and the whole head was covered for a long time before he came back to his senses, and looked at Guan Yu incredulously.

Guan Yu slapped him, and he also regretted it a little in his heart, this child has not been around since he was a child, and he has suffered a lot, and now he is finally reunited by father and son, and he is very well-behaved on weekdays, Guan Yu has always been reluctant to play except when he was training, and now he has been slapped with a face, looking at Guan Ping's swollen cheeks, he can't bear it, but he has an arrogant temperament, even if he can't bear it, he won't express it, just snort and say: "Your uncle is a hero in the world, how can you let it be speculated?" ”

"Childe!" Zhou Cang hurriedly stepped forward to help Guan Ping up, and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't talk back to the lord." ”

"Father's words, please forgive the child for not agreeing!" Guan Ping broke open Zhou Cang's arm, looked at Guan Yu with his chest held high, and said loudly: "Father said that the uncle is a hero, dare to ask the uncle what he has done to benefit the people of the world?" ”

"Conquer the traitors, perform meritorious deeds, govern the place under Liu Youzhou, and also make the place peaceful." Guan Yu and his son are really not good at doing it again, so they can only say patiently.

"Ha, this is to benefit the common people? In this way, how many officials in the world can do it! Guan Ping sneered, because Guan Yu was separated in advance, Guan Ping and Liu Bei did not have much contact, not many contacts, and there was no good impression, naturally there was not much emotion, and at this moment, the comment was also the head: "The child has never heard that the uncle governs the county and makes the people rich, but participates in the banquet all day long, and evaluates the world with Youzhou Haoqiang, but how many people die from the iron hooves of the Hu people or hunger and cold in the county every year?" ”

"As for killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, the child really doesn't want to compare the uncle with Ye Hou!" Guan Ping bowed and said, he felt that he was insulting Ye Zhao, Liu Bei had not many achievements in his life.

The muscles on Guan Yu's face twitched twice, and he wanted to refute, but he couldn't find words, so he could only say in a deep voice: "I can't wait to do the thing of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, I know your uncle in Weimo, how can I turn my back on it because of wealth?" ”

"Did the uncle ever think about this?" At the mention of this, Guan Ping was even more angry: "Why is it my father who was forced away instead of my uncle?" He and General Gongsun are the same family, and when he was down, he had to be helped by General Gongsun today, and he also had a brother with his father, even if Liu Youzhou and General Gongsun were hostile, he could be like his father and ignore the dispute between the two, but how did he do it? ”

At this point, you really can't blame Liu Bei, after all, Liu Bei has ambitions, wants to climb up, and has the heart to return to the clan, and Liu Yu helped Liu Bei with this, so that Liu Bei is in the clan, and now there is no need to say anything to others, the name of the Han clan can be regarded as being justified by Liu Yu, such a great favor, in the dispute between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, especially after Liu Yu is in a weak position, how can Liu Bei stay out of the matter?

Guan Yu frowned, it's really hard to say the reason for this.

Guan Ping said in a deep voice: "If you talk about kindness, Ye Hou had the grace of knowing his father in the past, and now that he is in Shuzhong, Ye Hou has never asked his father to join him, but what about his father?" Father should know this. ”

"The father values the righteousness of the brothers, and the child does not dare to say anything, but the child feels that Ye Hou is indeed the master of the world, and he has the heart to join the army to serve Ye Hou, this is the child's choice, the father only values brotherhood, but has he ever thought about Ye Hou's cultivation of the child?" Guan Ping was a little angry and said: "What kind of kindness does uncle have to me?" Do you want the child to follow the father and suffer this bondage, but ignore the child's benefactor? ”

Guan Yu's red face turned a little purple at the moment, and when Zhou Cang saw this, he hurriedly stopped Guan Ping, who wanted to say something more, and said, "Young General, don't say a few words!" ”

Guan Ping saw that Guan Yu's face was ugly, and he couldn't bear it, so he bowed and said: "The child is rude, but what he said today is from the bottom of his heart, I hope that the father will allow the child, no matter what, tomorrow's assessment, the child will definitely go." ”

After saying that, he left straight away.

"General?" Zhou Cang looked at Guan Yu with some concern.

"Nothing." Guan Yu sighed, sat on Guan Ping's seat, looked at Zhou Cang with some irritability, and said, "Yuanfu, do you also think what Ping'er said is polite?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare to say much." Zhou Cang bowed.

"Say, between you and me, why be so polite." Guan Yu waved his hand.

"Back to the general." Zhou Cang smiled bitterly: "Ye Hou has the grace to live for me, but Xuande Gong has no friendship with me, you let me choose, naturally I hope that the general can be loyal to Ye Hou, and although what the young general said is radical, it is not unreasonable, the general has lived in this Cheng/Du for more than a year, not to mention how Ye Hou governs, just for the general, I am afraid that it is not inferior to Xuande Gong." ”

"Go down." Guan Yu waved his hand a little irritably, he needed to be alone.

"The last will be retired." After Zhou Cang bowed, he exited the study and helped Guan Yu close the door.

How do you choose?

Looking at the ceiling of the room, Guan Yu fell into confusion again, and this time, Guan Yu found that his heart began to waver.
