"Lord, do you think Liu Weichen will agree?"

"Definitely, this man is very good at moving left and right, but he has no great wisdom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Such people are generally greedy for small gains, so they will definitely agree to the mutual market."

"As long as the Tiefu Ministry agrees to open the Drinking Sweat City and Guocheng, Hexi can borrow the power of merchants to go deep into Shuofang to investigate."

"In case the situation changes in the future, the army will divide into two routes: all the way to the north through the city of drinking sweat, sweeping the west and back sets."

"The other road crosses the Yellow River to the east, sets up Guocheng and Dailai City, and sweeps Shuofang."

"The lord is far-sighted, and the minister is far from it."

"Hahaha, the body is too modest."

The two talked about the external situation for a while, and gradually talked about internal affairs.

At present, the most important matter in Hexi is none other than scientific research, and the entire capital protection government is moving around scientific research.

"Now that the admission list has been released, Shuo plans to hold a banquet in the palace to entertain all the scholars, and please bring his colleagues to accompany him at that time."

"Obey the orders of the Protector of the Majority."

……

At the end of September, the scientific examination was finally successfully concluded, and a total of 100 scholars, including Cui Hao and Wang Zhenwei, were admitted.

Except for a few lucky people, more than ninety percent of the scholars fell to Sun Mountain, and except for a few who insisted on returning home, most of them chose to stay.

In order to settle the people, the major colleges and universities, specialized science halls, and martial arts schools in Hexi have extended olive branches to the scholars.

Let's not mention the choice of the fallen scholars, just talk about tonight's grand banquet, which has attracted the attention of countless people.

Not only did the important ministers of Hexi led by Song Miao and Zhang Zhan personally attend the scene to celebrate the scholars, but even the capital guards Shuo will also appear.

When they received the invitation, every scholar was very excited, and they looked forward to the coming of night.

At the beginning of the lanterns, hundreds of scholars called friends and gathered in the direction of the palace.

When Cui Hao and Wang Zhenwei arrived, the hall was already full of people.

The scholars got together in groups of three and two to talk and laugh from time to time, attracting the attention of outsiders.

They looked at each other and smiled, and walked to the side, talking considerate words as they went.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a lively and grand Shilin event."

"Who's to say it isn't? Nowhere else can you see it. ”

"Ho ho, except for the protection of the capital, I have never seen anyone who attaches so much importance to cultural governance."

"Dadu Hu not only attaches importance to civil governance, but also pays attention to military equipment."

"The martial arts academy is all over Hexi, and even Zhongde has to study for a period of time."

"But my brother doesn't need it, and he is still Zhongde's boss at the beginning."

"Alas, speaking of this, I'm worried about my brother."

"Brother Xian won the third place, and I think I can block the criticism of the outside world."

"It's miserable to be a brother, I only took the thirtieth place in the exam, and there will be many people who will scold me for being a fortunate minister in the future."

"Hmph, saying that my brother is lucky, that's because they are jealous, with my brother's talent, how can I not be Zuo Sima?"

……

In the midst of the disturbance, suddenly there was a shout outside: "The protector of the Western Regions and the general of Zhenxi have arrived!" ”

After finishing speaking, I saw one or twenty young people, dressed in gorgeous costumes and accompanied by several henchmen, proudly entering the main hall.

The scholars looked at it from a distance and felt that this person was taller than ordinary people, and he walked with a tigerish style, and he had a heroic spirit.

Everyone immediately understood that this person was the guardian of the capital of Megatron.

Wei Shuo walked head-on, and the scholars did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly dodged to both sides, and soon flashed a passage in the middle.

He walked to the main seat and stood still, greeted each of the scholars with a smile, and stretched out his hands to signal everyone to take their seats.

After everyone was seated, he raised his glass and saluted to the four directions.

"Shuo hereby congratulates everyone on the title of the gold list, and since then the clouds have risen to the top, and the journey has been thousands of miles."

"Thank you." The scholars excitedly raised their wine glasses, and suddenly found that the wine in their mouths was a little more mellow than usual.

This can be said: people are in good spirits at happy events, and the moon is bright from the Mid-Autumn Festival.

For most of the scholars here, many people have begged for help in order to become officials.

As soon as the scientific examination came out today, countless poor scholars finally saw the hope of coming out, how could they not cry with joy?

The atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warm, and the young scholars gradually let go of their restraints, gradually revealing their wild and heroic side, and some even sang a song in public.

In this regard, Wei Shuo did not feel angry at all, but applauded the other party, which attracted the scholars more and more to be profligate.

……

After a long time, the excitement of the scholars gradually dissipated, and Wei Shuo had the opportunity to speak properly.

"Don't think that everything will be fine if you are admitted, this is just a small step in your officialdom career."

"At the moment, you are just a reserve official, and you are still far from becoming a mature and qualified official."

"Next, everyone will be sent by the Metropolitan Protectorate to various Cao and local prefectures and counties to receive training, and whether they can become famous in the future depends on your creation."

"However, for the sake of everyone's first time as officials, Shuo can give you a little advice."

"As long as you are down-to-earth and do things well, you will definitely have a foothold in Hexi in the future."

"On the contrary, if someone only thinks of opportunism, he will be ......"

"Humph! Once verified, it will be punished by its own relevant laws. ”

"Don't think that Shuo is scaring you, Hexi is different from other places, what is believed here is: the capable go up, and the mediocre go down."

"In order to ensure that the mediocre will not be misled to the country, the officials will be strictly evaluated, and those who fail to pass the assessment will be immediately ordered to resign and be deposed."

"At the same time, in order to prevent officials from committing adultery, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Office will keep an eye on you all the time."

"And once you break the law, you don't have to expect any bosses or colleagues to save you, because they have no right to meddle in supervision affairs."

This warning frightened the soldiers present into a cold sweat.

The people who were originally a little hot-headed calmed down instantly.

Only then did they realize that Hexi was truly different, and that the dignity of the law was inviolable.

"Hexi is governed by the law, and the law has a supreme position in Hexi, and there is no such thing as 'punishment is not a doctor'."

"Today, I will say the ugly things in front of you, so as to say hello to you in advance, so as not to blame you for not teaching in the future."

"We will strictly abide by the teachings of the capital, and we will never dare to defy the law."

"Well, congratulations to you for having this idea."

"In addition, Hexi is not a flood beast, and it will not treat officials as pigs and dogs, and wantonly humiliate."

"As long as everyone abides by the law and works hard, and loves the people, not only do you not have to worry about disasters coming, but you will be the one who will protect you when something happens."

"Most of them protect the wise, I will wait for the obedience." All the men fell to the ground.

……

After being taught by Wei Shuo, the atmosphere in the banquet cooled down slightly, and it was not until a long time later that it gradually became warm again.

Cui Hao was dressed in a white-crowned Confucian suit, with a handsome appearance and elegant manners, and frequently chatted happily with the left and right.

Wei Shuo looked at Cui Hao's expression was calm and natural, and his face was clear, and he finally held back the joy in his heart.

Later generations called Cui Hao, Wang Meng, and Zhang Bin the three major strategists of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and countless people compared them in terms of merit, knowledge, and resourcefulness, and wanted to distinguish between them, but in the end they just fell into a battle of words.

But what's interesting is that Zhang Bin and Cui Hao both compared themselves to Zhang Liang when they were young, but Wang Meng didn't.

On the contrary, he was considered by later generations to be a Zhuge Liang-style figure, and he was known as the first person to cover Zhuge with merit.

However, compared with the other two, Cui Hao had a miserable ending, which reduced the most points.

Of course, Cui Hao is by no means a mediocre person, and he is both civil and military, so he can be on a par with Wang Meng and Zhang Bin.

As the mastermind of the unification war, Cui Hao participated in all the major military decisions of the three emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

He was resourceful and decisive, calculated every last resort, and made many meritorious achievements, and played an important role in a series of wars in the Northern Wei Dynasty to unify the north.

And the real motive of Tuoba Tao to kill Cui Hao is really difficult for future generations to know.

But one thing is certain, the "National History" case is just an introduction, and the real reason is by no means here, and it involves complex political struggles.

Cui Hao's death was mainly due to the intractable contradictions between the emperor and the crown prince, aristocratic society, and Buddhism.

In other words, Tuoba Tao didn't want to be too superficial in contradiction with the prince, aristocratic society, and Buddhism, so there were many things that were inconvenient to come forward in person, so he could only let Cui Hao come forward, at least he had to feel that many things were not Tuoba Tao's original intention, but the result of Cui Hao's instigation.

When the counterattack of these forces became bigger and bigger, Cui Hao could only be pushed out as a sacrifice.
