Chapter 136: Helping Toast
Cao Cao, during the Three Kingdoms period, was a man who could not only plan the world, but also dance and write.
Although later generations received mixed reviews, no one can erase his great deeds of being king and hegemonic during the Three Kingdoms period.
Therefore, Xia Huan's order to seek talents, his heroic style, and his thirsty attitude are all great temptations for people who want talents.
In just two or three days, the people on the stage are like carp crossing the river.
Almost anyone who thinks they have some knowledge will go on stage and give it a try.
This made Chen Zhaoming, who was guarding the stage, painful and happy.
Of course, the meritocracy order naturally has a bad effect. Especially among them, "Meng Gongzhuo" and "Chen Ping", although the flaws are not hidden, there are still many self-confessed noble sages who are ashamed to be with them.
However, in general, the impact of the meritocracy order still outweighs the disadvantages.
After all, those who think of themselves as high are still limited, and most people are still focused on reality.
This also allowed Xia Huan to gather a large number of scribes in such a short period of time.
These people will be supplemented to various middle and grassroots levels in the future, which will greatly alleviate the pressure of talent shortage for Xia Huan.
However, the so-called literature has no first, and there is no second martial arts.
The contest between martial arts can determine the outcome of the battle. text, but no.
There are so many people, and what they are good at is also the study of a hundred schools, and it is certain that the level is uneven. Among these people, who is up and who is down is not something that Xia Huan can decide with a simple sentence.
Therefore, it is still necessary to have a literary fight and compare the level of everyone.
β¦β¦
The Shizi Mansion was specially built by Xia Huan in order to settle those who had been recruited. Although it cannot be said to be magnificent, it is more ingenious and original.
And tonight, the Shizi Mansion is especially lively. There is no other reason, tonight, His Royal Highness King Zhou will come to the Shizi's Mansion in person to raise funds.
Of course, fundraising is just a faΓ§ade, and these people are naturally clear about what it represents.
Therefore, from early in the morning, the Shizi Mansion, which was originally quite quiet, became a little lively.
Some people are busy taking care of themselves, ready to make a good impression in front of His Royal Highness King Zhou, while others are reviewing what they have learned and can also show their talents in front of His Royal Highness King Zhou.
However, there are busy ones, and naturally there are also idle ones.
"Brother Zhang, are you going out again this morning?"
In front of the Shizi's Mansion, the jade-crowned man was already waiting here.
Zhang Wei seemed to have been prepared, and he didn't say anything to the jade-crowned man, and directly boarded the carriage.
"Go to the south of the city."
The jade-crowned man smiled, gave an order to the groom, and boarded the car as well.
This friend of mine has always given himself the feeling that the world is under control, but in the past few days, he has been circling around Xingyang everywhere.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Zhang Wei is just playing around, but the man with the jade crown knows that Zhang Wei is more practical than those who open their mouths for books and words.
"It seems that Brother Zhang also wants to fight tonight!"
Xingyang City is not small, although the lane has been improved, but it also took nearly half a day to go to the south of the city and come back.
When Zhang Wei rushed back to the Shizi Mansion in the dust, the silver armor palace guards had already surrounded the entire Shizi Mansion.
Zhang Wei's heart sank slightly, although he had rushed back as soon as possible, but people were not as good as heaven, he still didn't expect Xia Huan to come so early.
When passing by the palace guards, it was naturally inevitable to have an investigation, and the time dragged on for a while.
Hurried to the main hall, the huge main hall was already occupied by dozens of scholars. Counting those maid guards, even if the main hall is not small, it seems a little crowded.
In the main hall, two scholars in their thirties were arguing with encouragement.
In the hall, Xia Huan was sitting on the side, listening carefully to the debate between the two.
Zhang Wei could only silently find a corner and sit down, waiting for his opportunity.
Unfortunately, this sat for several hours, from sunset until nearly midnight. The soldier in front of him was like being beaten with chicken blood, and he was eager to take out everything in his belly.
There are even two people, and it takes more than an hour to fight.
Finally, when it was Zhang Wei's turn, everyone was already a little excited.
"Under Zhang Wei, the ...... of the Handan people of Zhao State"
Maybe it was too long, and during the banquet, many people also drank a lot of wine.
When wine strengthens people's courage and is upright and high-spirited, it is natural that people who provoke trouble are indispensable.
"Isn't this Brother Zhang who goes out for fun every day and doesn't do his job? Why did you sit at the end of the table today? β
It was a man in his forties who spoke. There's a lot to learn, and it's a lot to do. But, again, because of this, this man is very eloquent.
At the time of the previous debate, a Confucian scholar was even more speechless by him in the words of Confucius and Mencius.
Sitting next to Zhang Wei, a young man in his twenties immediately echoed: "Brother Xu doesn't know, Brother Zhang may be nostalgic for His Royal Highness's rule today, but he only came back at the end of Shen Shi. β
This remark immediately caused the audience to laugh. Zhang Wei considers himself a talented person, but of course he can't stand this humiliation. Even though he had not drunk alcohol, his face was flushed at this time.
Just when Zhang Wei was not on or down, Xia Huan stood up.
"The city of misneficiature, Mr. Meng will not give up, and Huan is very lucky!"
Xia Huan said as he respectfully bowed to Zhang Wei.
Xia Huan personally came forward to exonerate Zhang Wei, and the people below naturally didn't say anything. However, Zhang Wei was not embarrassed to continue, so he could only sit back sullenly.
Xia Huan didn't stop Zhang Wei from sitting back, but waited until Zhang Wei sat back before he continued to speak: "Huan Bucai, I am appreciated by everyone, I hope I won't get drunk tonight!" β
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
Everyone raised their glasses in unison and replied in a loud voice.
During the banquet, except for Zhang Wei, everyone else was more or less happy. There are also many people who think that they are good at resigning and making gifts on the spot.
I don't know if it's really because I drank too much, or if I wanted to test Xia Huan, the man surnamed Xu, who was embarrassed by Zhang Wei before, saluted Xia Huan and said, "Tonight, it can be said that the guest of honor is happy." Xu is stupid, please give a resignation to His Royal Highness! β
The people in the seat, although they did not echo, their eyes all looked at Xia Huan.
Before a merit-seeking order, the writing was good. They also wanted to know whether this was written by Xia Huan himself, or whether there was a behind-the-scenes master.
When Xia Huan heard this, he smiled and motioned to the maidservant beside him to fill the cup with wine.
Then, following the example of the previous scholars, he slowly walked to the hall.
"Singing about wine, what is life? For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the problem? Only Du Kang. β
"Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart. But for the sake of the king, he has been groaning so far. Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs. β
"It's as clear as the moon, when can it be done? Worries come from it, and they cannot be cut off. The more strange it is, the more vain it exists. Qi Kuo talks about the feast, thinking of the old grace. β
"The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed? The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep. β
"Zhou Gong Tufu, the world returns to the heart!"
