In May, spring and summer alternate, and Jinling is picturesque.

Qinhuai River.

Ten miles of Qinhuai, Jinling gathers.

Since the Qinhuai River was developed by Sun Quan, it is the most prosperous and noisy place in Jinling City day or night.

During the day, the market is noisy, and the wharf is lively.

The night is bright, the painting boat cruises the river, the scenery is beautiful, the fragrant wine and beauty are accompanied, and the literati gather together, how fast.

Qinhuai is a matter of wind and moon, and all guests from all over the world come.

Today's Qinhuai River is not only famous in Jinling City and Wu State, the whole world is famous, and the business travelers who pass through the north and south, if they can't come to Qinhuai River to take a turn, they are a little ashamed to have come to Jinling.

The flow of people here is naturally increasing day by day, the so-called development depends on the people, there are people who can develop, there are more people, it is naturally lively, and it will naturally develop rapidly.

The liveliness of the Qinhuai River is famous for the events of the wind and the moon and the gathering of literati, which are the two things that the literati can't let go of the most.

The matter of the wind and the moon, the temperament of the man, in this era when wives and concubines are interchangeable, is not moral, but a feeling.

The literati gathering is to talk about the world, to discuss the government, and it is a grand event belonging to scholars, which can naturally attract the attention of countless people.

On this day, the literati event held by Jiangdong Daily as the organizer was popular on the only giant painting boat on the Qinhuai River with the selection of Qinhuai talents.

As the director of the Department of Education, Cai Yong personally held the Qinhuai Talent Conference for the judges, which has gathered the attention of countless literati in Jinling City.

A beautiful painting boat swayed on the river, constantly approaching the giant painting boat in the middle.

On top of the small boat. There were two young men standing, one of whom was in a robe and wearing a jade belt around his waist. Wearing a scarf on his head, folding a fan in his hand, with a graceful demeanor, a pair of amber eyes looked at the handsome and extraordinary young man standing beside him, and said a little depressedly: "Daughter-in-law, why are you dressed up, you are more handsome than me!" ”

"You're going to be weird. I have to dress like this! ”

Cai Yan is dressed as a man today, with a face like a crown of jade, and a heroic posture. When he stood side by side with Sun Quan, he somewhat stole the limelight.

"Zizi, so handsome, if I were a woman. I will definitely marry you! ”

Sun Quan quipped. Cai Yan is dressed as a man, handsome and messy, no Pan An Song Yu, can compare to a horse.

"Zhongmou, if you sneak out of the palace, you are not afraid of being impeached by the Imperial Observatory?"

Cai Yan looked at her husband's interested side face and asked with a smile.

The Yushitai controlled by Zhang Hong is not the first time that Sun Quan has been impeached, of course. The beautiful name is a premonition, and Sun Quan is on the king's etiquette. It's uncomfortable not to make a mistake for a day, and it's not once or twice that you can give them a chance to impeach.

"Daughter-in-law, I have a rare leisure today, just accompany you out of the palace for a walk, you are either in the palace or in the academy all day long, you have to come out and stroll, otherwise you will be suffocated!"

Sun Quan said seriously: "The king accompanies the queen to relax, that's a normal thing, what can they be to me!" ”

"Don't push it to me, it's obvious that you want to go out of the palace and mess around, and you still pull me along,!"

Cai Yan patted his smooth forehead, Wu Guo has been a little peaceful recently, relatively speaking, Sun Quan has relaxed a lot, and naturally he can't sit still and squat in the palace every day.

"Daughter-in-law, why do you have to talk about these unhappy things, let's have a good day, isn't it?"

Sun Quan said with a smile.

"Now Xiao Mi is pregnant now, alone in the palace, you go out to play, but be careful that she is not finished with you!" Cai Yan glanced at him amorous and amorous.

"Daughter-in-law, when will you also conceive one!" Sun Quan's eyes shone with the light of a wolf, looking at the heroic Cai Yan, and reaching out to wrap his arms around her waist, looking a little obscene.

"Let it go!"

Cai Yan blushed, patted the back of his hand, and whispered: "You don't look at where this is, the eyes around us are a little weird, and people who don't know still think it's ......."

She is now dressed as a young man, and two big men are hugging and hugging on the Qinhuai River, which is at the peak of her prosperity, and she is a little ashamed when she thinks about it.

"Look at them!"

Sun Quan's skin was thicker than the city wall, and he didn't care at all.

The small painting boat walked for half an hour, and finally contacted the giant building boat painting boat docked in the middle of the river, this painting boat is called Qinhuai painting boat.

Since the ironclad ship left the factory, the wooden building ship that should have been the main force has now become the main force of the second echelon, and it is naturally open to many businesses.

Jiangdong Daily was the first person to buy a building boat from the military, and this retired building ship, unloaded with weapons, became a careful fortress on the Qinhuai River.

At this moment, the atmosphere of Qinhuai's painting boat is already at its peak, above the painting boat, the crowd is surging, the sound is boiling, and there are small painting boats around, many of them are readers.

"Meet the King!"

At the place where the boat was put on the stern, Han Binhe, the owner of Jiangdong Daily, and the main programmer had been waiting for a long time.

This time the event was hosted by Koto Daily, the main board.

Jiangdong Daily was purchased by Han Bin, a paper magnate under the leadership of Sun Quan, and is now the best-selling and most influential newspaper in Wuguo, and it is also very important in the hearts of readers.

"What is the result of this talent selection?" Sun Quan asked.

The selection of Qinhuai talents is held several times a year in Jiangdong Daily, but this time is the most grand, because not only several Confucian judges were invited, but even Cai Yong, the director of the Department of Education and the former Jiangdong Academy sacrificial wine, and one of the most prestigious Confucians today, was also invited. }

Of course, this was requested by Sun Quan's holy decree.

"King, now the top ten talents have been selected!"

Cheng Dao bowed down and reported: "Director Cai personally evaluated! ”

"Father?"

Cai Yanqiao's face changed slightly, she bit her lip, pinched Sun Quan's arm fiercely, and said in a low voice: "Wang, you are too bad, you know that your father is here, you still pull me here, if my father scolds, how can I be good!" ”

The old antiques of the Cai family, the king Sun Quan is very afraid. As the queen, Cai Yan is also very afraid.

"Scold, scold, it's not the first time he's scolded us!" Sun Quan shrugged, and he didn't worry about lice. Cai Yong scolded a lot, and he was a little immune.

"This is ......"

Han Bin looked at the handsome boy beside Sun Quan, and was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly saluted: "The grass people have no beads, and they don't know the queen's phoenix, please forgive the queen!" ”

Queen Cai Yan, he still recognizes it. It's just that she didn't pay attention to her son-in-law's appearance for a while.

"The Queen?"

When Cheng Dao heard this, he was also shocked, he thought that the son-in-law of whose family could be so close to Sun Quan. It turned out to be the queen, and she hurriedly saluted.

"You don't need to be polite, the palace is to accompany the king to watch the ceremony, you should not see the palace!"

Cai Yan waved his hand. Indifferently.

"No!"

The two nodded.

Sun Quan and Cai Yan are under the leadership of Cheng Dao and Han Bin. The top floor of the building boat is like an open-air stage-like square.

On the square, Cai Yong, the director of the Department of Education, was meticulous and sat at the top of the judging platform, while on the left and right sides, there were five or six well-known Confucian scholars, and in the center, ten young people sat apart. Struggle with pen and ink, tears like rain.

"Daddy!"

Sun Quan walked up. sat quietly beside Cai Yong.

"Daddy!" Cai Yan followed behind Sun Quan, with a slightly blushing face, sitting next to Sun Quan, and saluting cautiously.

"Akihime?"

Cai Yong looked at Sun Quan, but he couldn't ignore it, when he looked at Cai Yan's son-in-law dress, his eyes were cold, and he was angry, and said: "Nonsense, you are a dignified queen, dressed like this, if it is passed out, what kind of system will it become!" ”

"Old man, if you don't say it, if I don't say it, the ghost will know!"

Sun Quan was a little lazy, and said with a smile: "Zhao Ji nests in that deep palace every day, why not let him come out and walk around?" ”

"What the king said is really reasonable, the queen is not in the palace to preside over the inner court, can she still run out every day?"

Cai Yong's yin and yang weird way.

His daughter is good at everything, docile, quiet, piano, chess, poetry and books, all of them are fine, that is, let Sun Quan lead some stronger, with the body of a woman, what women's academy to establish, even after succeeding to the queen, still maintain the half-dead women's academy.

Sun Quan and his wife were a little helpless when facing Cai Yong, this old thing seemed to have never been satisfied with Sun Quan, and even thought that Cai Yan was also damaged by him.

"Dad, what is the topic of the talent calculation this time?" Sun Quan immediately changed the subject.

"On King Wu!" Cai Yong gave him a cold look, then he dissipated his breath and replied calmly.

"King Wu? Dad, do you deserve to be the first king, or are you lonely? Sun Quan's eyes moved.

"Pointing to the throne does not refer to people, whether you are or the first king, they are all King Wu!"

Cai Yong's eyes swept over the ten talented people in the field, with a satisfied smile, and said: "The old man just wants you to know that the ideal King Wu in their hearts, they are all good, the two on the left are Jiangdong Academy, the middle ones are from Lumenshan Academy, and the few in the back are students from Jinling Academy, all of them are talented!" ”

"Dad, do you think they can become civil officials in the court?"

Hearing this, Sun Quan squinted slightly.

"Becoming an official in the court?" Cai Yong turned his head and glanced at Sun Quan: "The little fox's tail is exposed!" ”

"Huh!" Sun Quan smiled, the old guy was too shrewd.

"The old man knows that your kid named and asked the old man to preside over the selection of Qin Huai talents held by Jiangdong Daily, and there is another purpose!" Cai Yong glanced at him and said, "If you have anything, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush with the old man!" ”

"Dad, don't you think the system of filial piety should be changed?"

Sun Quan smiled, the old guy is just not easy to fool, he can only say calmly: "Entering the court as an official, adopting the policy of filial piety and honesty, too partial, talented people, how can they live with fame!" ”

This kind of system has been maintained for many years, a system of calculating talents from the bottom up, but this system is already a little backward in Sun Quan's eyes.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and few people can be selfless.

Therefore, the system for selecting and promoting officials must be reformed.

In the past, the time for the imperial examination was not ripe, so in the reform of the law, Sun Quan did not put forward it, and then, when the plan of the Ministry of Education for the prefectures and county academies must be completed, the policy of the imperial examination was imminent.

He must let Cai Yong complete the imperial examination policy when he is in the position of the Department of Education.

That's why we have today's play.

"It is indeed a bit selfish to raise filial piety, after all, not everyone can recommend an outstanding talent, but now it is also the only feasible strategy!"

Cai Yong frowned: "How to select officials has always been a headache, and it is not easy to be fair and just!" ”

"There is a distinction between high and low talents, and there is no outstanding talent without comparison!"

Sun Quan pointed to the ten talented people present and said lightly: "It's like this, only the selected ones are fair, aren't they?" ”

"You want to take a national exam?" Cai Yong's eyes lit up slightly: "It's a good idea to select talents and use energy for officials!" ”

"That's right!" Sun Quan nodded. (To be continued......)
