Chapter 3 Baifeng Tower

Shouyang City, the Kyoto of the Chu State, the land of the Son of Heaven. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The state of Chu has thirteen counties, a population of 90 million, located in the south, its Shouyang is the largest, the terrain is the best, easy to defend and difficult to attack; Shouyang has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and the wise man of Chu once said that Chu can lose the other twelve counties, but it must not let Shouyang lose, as long as Shouyang is still there, just give Chu some time, and it is only a matter of time to recover other lost territories.

Shouyang City at the foot of the Son of Heaven is naturally extraordinarily lively, with the first rooster crow in the morning, the people who rush to the market have begun to rush to the market, the men who practice martial arts also smell the chickens and dance, practice a good skill in their own yard, a plain white scholar holds a scroll, walks back and forth in the house, and the sound of the book is crisp in the ear.

Today, there is not much change in Shouyang, but there is one more young man in the vast sea of people, who looks about double ten, with a delicate and handsome face, a little thin, dark eyes as bright and clear, blazing, occasionally flashing with wisdom, wearing a set of extremely ordinary gray old cloth clothes, dull, like a person who can't live an ordinary book, but if you look closely, you feel a little different from ordinary scholars.

Su Heng walked on Yangchun Street, feeling the coldness under his feet, experiencing the unique charm of this thousand-year-old capital, and occasionally looking around curiously to see if there was an attic similar to the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

Last night he slept on the mountain for a night, he didn't have any silver on him, he only brought a little dry food, but he had already eaten it, fortunately this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are no mountain bandits who block the road and rob, otherwise it is still a question whether he can go down the mountain alive.

Liu passed a letter to him, but he didn't tell him who to hand it over, there was no way, he just had to stop a patrolling guard captain and tell him everything, but the latter told him angrily after hearing this, if you make trouble, even if you are a scholar, you will be arrested and put in prison.

Scholar, in this troubled era, has a very high status, and his scholarly dress saved him from prison.

The patrol guard obviously regarded him as a mentally ill scholar, otherwise a helpless scholar would dare to casually block the way of the official and say a lot of nonsense.

Therefore, Su Heng eliminated the shortcut of relying on officials to lead the way, and had to honestly look for the recruitment hall that was set up in every capital.

It can't be blamed that Su Heng is too eager, because he doesn't know anything except the knowledge in the book, and he doesn't have dry food and silver on his body, if he doesn't find a place to settle quickly, I'm afraid he will have to sleep on the streets tonight.

Fortunately, Su Heng finally found the way to the Zhaoxian Pavilion after asking a few passers-by in a row, thinking that King Yan Zhao built a golden platform and recruited good talents from all over the world, attracting talents from the seven countries to take refuge, and finally defeated the powerful Qi State, although it has been a long time now, but this incident has long been spread in the historical trend, so in the future, every troubled time, all dynasties and countries have also put down their prejudices and began to follow suit, regardless of origin, regardless of nationality, as long as you have talent, you can go to the recruitment hall set up by various countries to recommend yourself, After passing the assessment, someone will naturally introduce you.

Therefore, over the years, the seven countries have never lacked middle- and lower-level talents, but they have lacked the top talents.

Shouyang City is very large, extending in all directions, people come and go, through non-stop inquiries all the way, Su Heng finally found the famous Zhaoxian Hall in Shouyang City.

Baifenglou, white, symbolizes noble and elegant, and the literati like the plain white corresponds, phoenix, is the nine heavenly birds, reborn from the fire, soaring into the sky, Zhaoxian Hall named Baifenglou is obviously very meaningful, seems to be informing the people who come to take refuge, regardless of the background, as long as you are talented, this is the place where you are reborn from the fire, in the future, Dapeng spreads its wings for 90,000 miles, soars into the sky, and the name of the Seven Kingdoms is not a problem.

Let's ask the world, who doesn't want to divide ten thousand households, and doesn't want to live for generations.

There are not many people in front of Baifeng Tower, Su Heng looked around, there were about two hundred people, most of them were some young scholars who were dressed frugally and some young men with rough looks, they all had one thing in common, that is, almost all of them were born in a poor family, for them, they had been studying hard for more than ten years just to wait for this moment.

In front of Baifeng Building is a spacious compound, there is a bronze bell standing in the center of the courtyard, someone takes care of and cleans it every day, but after a hundred years of wind and rain, there are still a few points of colorful patina on it, I heard that every time Baifeng Lou as long as there is a great talent, it will ring the bell to inform everyone, in order to show the encouragement and respect for talents.

Su Heng waited quietly for Bai Fenglou to open the door, while secretly observing the expressions of the people around him, he found that the generally rough-looking martial artists were lonely rangers, and the people next to them were far away from them, and some scholars even did not hide the contempt in their eyes, and glanced at those martial artists, these despised martial artists did not seem to have any intention of unity, they were all separated, and they did not communicate, so they stood quietly aside.

Heavy literature and light martial arts!

Seeing all this, Su Heng was a little surprised at a glance, although since ancient times, there has been a saying that civil officials have made a move and military generals run dead horses, but that is also in the peaceful and prosperous era, the role of military generals is not great, and the status of literati is naturally higher, but now it is a troubled era, no matter where, military generals are indispensable, sometimes the role of a general is even greater than a top strategist, but why do these scholars still not wait to see martial artists?

Unable to figure it out, Su Heng could only give himself an explanation, the idea of emphasizing literature over martial arts has been deeply rooted!

I don't know how long it took, the gate of Baifeng Tower finally opened, so that the people who had been waiting outside the door for a long time were excited, and then they walked inside, Baifeng Tower was very large, the door bar was wide, and it didn't seem crowded for two hundred people to go in together.

"Everyone, please wait for a while, the assessment will start immediately."

The person in charge of the reception was an official in his mid-thirties, with a pale face and a peaceful smile on his face all the time, who seemed to be a relatively easy person to get along with, and he briefly said a few things that needed attention, and then turned to leave.

As soon as the people left, more than two hundred people below also became active, and Su Heng was no exception, he looked around and found that there were many books in it, many, many ......

Qin, Chu, Zhao, Wu, Jin, Wei, Qi.

Seven bookcases stand in the middle of the room, each with a distance between them, the seven countries that have survived the conquest of this land, and under each bookcase are brief introductions to their history books.

Without hesitation, Su Heng walked under the bookcase engraved with the word Chu and found a book about the history of Chu and read it.
