On a new day, the sun rises and the morning light is like a rainbow.

The morning light is full of endless vitality, like a thin layer of gold, through the thin bead curtain, reflected bit by bit into the spacious and bright imperial study.

Dawang is also a profession, and when it's time to go to work, you still have to go to work.

Sun Quan sat peacefully in front of the Yushuyu case, constantly flipping through the exam papers on the bookcase, which were all submitted after the examiner had looked at them.

The examination papers of the students have been preliminarily selected by the Department of Education and several hired Confucians, and only more than 300 papers of more than 1,000 students can enter the list of re-examinations.

There are not many people who enter the re-examination, but this is enough, and there are only more than 1,000 people who are recommended.

The first imperial examination was relatively strict, and the quality could not be without guarantees.

"Zirou, this is good, he dares to scold Lonely, a little courageous!"

Sun Quan looked at it very carefully, everyone did not have independent thinking, and absorbing more worries allowed him to establish the system of Wu State more perfectly.

After all, a person's ability is limited, even if he crosses over and can formulate a scaffold for a new political system, there are many bits and pieces below that cannot be estimated.

He handed a test paper to Kuai Liang: "This exam paper, the loopholes in the New Deal listed above, are very good, there are indeed loopholes in the New Deal, but this candidate's personality is a little frizzy, he knows that the new deal is now established by Lone himself, and he dares to insinuate that he is scolding Lone, a little tempered, but I have to admit that his writing and views are very good, at least." He knows more about the operation of the new deal than the officials below us! ”

A person who cannot thoroughly understand the current state of Wu will not be able to write this volume.

"Great King, this is a student from the Hanmen Sect, Lin Qi, a person from Liaodong Academy. However, the number of places recommended for the imperial examination by Liaodong Academy is limited, and it is not his turn, so he is unwilling, so he recommends himself from Liaodong! ”

Kuai Liang came up, looked at the paper, and smiled slightly wryly: "You can see people with test papers, this person has a relatively hard temper, this paper, we almost brushed it off for him at the beginning." In the end, Director Cai strongly supported it, saying that just because he dared to scold the king, it was worth letting the king see this volume, so he passed! ”

"Old man Cai saw someone scolding me, he was probably more happy!" Sun Quan smiled bitterly.

"Director Zei's temper is a little straight!"

Kuai Liang is a little envious of the relationship between Cai Yong and Sun Quan, although Sun Quan talks about Old Man Cai all day long, Old Man Cai's name, but Wu Guo is up and down. Everyone knows that Sun Quan is the most respected person. It is estimated that it is Cai Yong.

He is a great king, and what can make him afraid is not those who are stronger than him, but those whom he respects from the bottom of his heart.

In these years, the king is the king, and the people below face Sun Quan. Including himself, the one who is not trembling, this Wu Guo, I am afraid that Cai Yong will be able to scold Sun Quan in person.

"Look, there's this. This is not bad, although the review said, his writing is not good, but it is a little rough in the eyes of you Confucians, on the whole, it is already very good, it is undeniable that when he said that when he commented on the pros and cons of the old policy, the pen was very sharp! ”

Sun Quan handed out a roll again.

"Fan Ming, a teacher with no name, is over forty years old, this time the imperial examination, but it was a blockbuster, he has no pen or font, but the views expounded on this volume, even if several ministers in the cabinet are shaken!"

Kuai Liang said with a smile.

He, the deputy examiner, has taken all these papers.

"It seems that the imperial examination is done right, and a lot of talents have emerged this time!" Sun Quan's eyes were shining.

No matter what era, the most important thing is talent, it is easy to fight the country, it is difficult to defend the country, if Wu wants to be strong, if you want to maintain the momentum of development, you must have more talents.

"Indeed!"

Hearing this, Kuai Liang nodded approvingly, he looked at Sun Quan's eyes with a trace of admiration, and said: "The king's imperial examination policy can indeed select more outstanding and more talents for the Wu State!" ”

The initial results of the imperial examination are enough to shut up many people, and it is not that there are no talents, but they usually do not show mountains and waters, and as long as they run for election and comparison, they all come out.

"To what extent has the construction of the Hallym Academy been carried out?" Sun Quan asked suddenly.

"Report to the king, now the official residence of the Hanlin Academy has been preliminarily completed!"

Kuai Liang reported: "However, in the preparation of the Hanlin Bachelor, there are still some problems to communicate with the officials, and the minister guarantees that it will be completed by the end of this month!" ”

"Get it done as soon as possible!"

Sun Quan reminded in a low voice: "The attendance of the Ministry of Officials this year is going to be a big move, and many of the officials below have to move, although we have reserved a lot of talents through Jinling, Lumen Mountain, and Jiangdong Academies before, but we may not be able to, and we may have to use the reserve talents of the Hanlin Academy in advance!" ”

After the imperial examination, the talents on the list must go through the Hanlin Academy, which will become a talent reserve center of the Wu Dynasty in the future.

"The king, the matter of the attendance of the officials ......"

Kuai Liang's expression moved slightly, and his eyes were a little dark: "The minister has thought clearly, Weichen is in charge of the imperial examination and the Hanlin Academy, and he can't pull away!" ”

"Gu Yong dares to carry it down, don't you dare?"

Sun Quan squinted, the matter of attendance will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in various places, and the actions of the officials are too big, and there must be people from the cabinet to guard it.

He chose the old guy, but it was clear that the old guy was a little reluctant.

"It's not that you don't dare!"

Kuai Liang's smile was extremely bitter, and he did not shirk it, but said to Sun Quan very calmly: "It's just that the old minister is not as young and strong as Gu Shangshu, ambitious, to put it mildly, he can be in the position of the second assistant, it is already like this, this storm, the old minister can't bear it!" ”

The attendance of the officials is definitely a storm at the end of the year, and the influence is too great, of course, the benefits of this matter are there, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

He is already old, and if he wants to go further, it is basically impossible to replace Zhang Zhao's cabinet chief, since he can't go up, no matter how much credit he has, he naturally doesn't want to carry the pot in the end.

"You old guys, you are wise to protect yourself!" Sun Quan sneered.

"The King. Wechen is already old, so Wechen believes that this opportunity for progress should be given to those who have the opportunity! Kuai Liang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Of course, if the king gives an order to let Weichen deal with it." Wechen will not disobey his orders! ”

In this matter, he has already made his purpose clear, he can't participate, it doesn't matter if he is alone, he still has a Kuai family behind him, he can't pull hatred like this.

And it's not something he has to do, he doesn't want to, it's people in the cabinet who rush to do it.

"Forget it, you don't want the credit. Lonely is not reluctant! ”

Sun Quan nodded, the twisted melon is not sweet, this thing is not done by no one, there is a second assistant in the cabinet, Zhu Zhi is still young compared to the old guys in the cabinet.

If he does things well and establishes his prestige, maybe he will be able to inherit the previous power junction between Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong and Zhou Yu in the future.

in the Cabinet. Zhang Zhao is the older generation, and Gu Yong and Zhou Yu are the younger generation. Sooner or later, the rights will be handed over, and it would be good if they could be eased.

"King, news from Chang'an!"

At this time, Cao Yang hurriedly walked in and handed over an urgent report: "Jinyiwei 100,000 rushed into the palace!" ”

"Chang'an?" Sun Quan's expression became solemn in an instant.

"The King. Wechen also has to plan for the imperial examination in September, so he retired first! Kuai Liang put away the file of the examination paper, and after saluting, he left the imperial study.

Sun Quan hurriedly spread out the urgent report, which was sent by Li Nie himself.

"Three days ago. Cao Cao's troops defeated Baling, Ma Chao rushed for 100 miles, attacked the Wei army of Baling at night, defeated Cao Cao's 50,000 soldiers and horses, and chased and killed dozens of miles......"

Sun Quan was happy all of a sudden.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Five days ago, Chang'an City.

The night is dark.

Under the cold starry sky, Chang'an City is very quiet, tomorrow is the time for the new king to ascend the throne, this night, many Liangguo civil and military people can't sleep, waiting for dawn.

However, what they were waiting for was not dawn, but suddenly tens of thousands of soldiers and horses came out from all directions and shouted to kill.

"A certain Ma Chao, the son of Liangguo, help Da Liang, punish the rebel thief, and kill the enemy with a certain family!"

Ma Chao raised his troops without warning.

Although Sima Yi has been staring at the Ma Dai camp, there are still two camps around Chang'an City, and he thinks that it is not enough to be outside the city.

However, the combined strength of these two barracks of nearly 13,000 troops had already been controlled by Ma Chao, who was as fast as thunder and quickly occupied the city gate.

Even if Sima Yi Jia Xu, Yang Xiu and the others were a little caught off guard, although they reacted, they were defeated in the face of internal and external attacks.

As soon as the city gate opened, Ma Dai personally led tens of thousands of elites in the military camp out of the mountain like a fierce tiger, and quickly took control of Chang'an City.

This battle came too quickly, Sima Yi thought that Ma Chao would at least go crazy tomorrow when Ma Xiu ascended the throne, but he didn't expect that he had a time difference.

He is a slow step, a slow step, and when he reacted, Ma Chao was already in the city.

Even if he gathers troops and shouts in the name of the prince, he can't control the situation, and the soldiers and horses in the city have already been impressed by Ma Chao's bravery.

This also shows Ma Chao's prestige in Liangguo, I am afraid that this is a mistake by Sima Yi, which led to his losing all the games and the whole Chang'an falling into the hands of Ma Chao.

Six or seven Guanzhong generals under Sima Yi were killed by Ma Chaoge in Chang'an, most of the elites were captured by Ma Chao, and Sima Yi could only take less than 5,000 remnants of soldiers to support Ma Xiu and escape from Chang'an City.

"Damn, Matthew is in their hands!"

After a night of chaotic fighting, Ma Chao's soldiers and horses completely occupied Chang'an City, the head of a city gate, Ma Chao, who fought fiercely all night, looked at the moat outside the city, and said angrily: "Let them escape from Chang'an!" ”

"General, a Matthew, it doesn't matter anymore!"

The planner of this battle, Li Nie stood quietly beside Ma Chao, and said lightly: "Now, it's time to hit Cao Cao by surprise, the news of the spies, Cao Cao's vanguard army has arrived in Baling, they will never think that the general actually has the courage to give up Chang'an, and attack, as long as the speed is fast enough, under the attack of a hundred miles, the Wei army will be defeated!" ”

"Li Zhonglang is right, Liangguo is fighting here!"

Ma Chao is now a little convinced of Li Nie, a person is as cold as thousands of troops, he resolutely shouted: "Ma Dai, immediately gather the troops of the whole city, after a quarter of noon, leave Chang'an, hurry up the new army, target, Baling!" ”

"No!"

Ma Dai respectfully received the order. (To be continued......)
