Section XXVIII: Elections
In the autumn of the seventeenth year of King Chu Heng, the whole country ushered in the long-awaited election. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info from the princes and clans to ordinary people, are very much looking forward to the election every three years. The election system of the state of Chu appeared in the early days of King Zhuang of Chu, and it was the emergence of the election that made the state of Chu strong, and countless virtuous ministers and famous generals who left history entered the court and the army through elections.
With the passage of time, the electoral system of the state of Chu has gradually improved, and it has been very perfect since the time of King Heng of Chu. The reason why the state of Chu is strong to this day is that even if the later three kingdoms of Zhao, Jin, and Xu have successively achieved supreme hegemony, the state of Chu is still not afraid to always ensure its own interests.
Continuing the 500-year-old strong electoral system of the Chu State, countless outstanding officials and generals were elected for the Chu State, as well as world-famous cultivators.
The electoral system is held every three years, and each time it is held is an unprecedented event in the Chu State. The attention of the Wang Gongqing clan is to attract talents, and the attention of ordinary people is the name of genius.
The electoral system is divided into recommendation and countermeasure examinations, and the recommendation is recommended from the bottom up of the county and county, and finally it is admitted by the official palace of the Chu State. The countermeasure test is conducted after entering the palace school, and they are selected to study in the three academies for one year, and the students with excellent grades will either enter the court as officials, or guard the territory, or worship in holy places.
Of course, for those who are elected, the biggest goal is to become the top three and enter the void of bears.
At the beginning of the autumn period, countless Qing clans and township schools in various counties and counties of Chu State recommended talents, and finally reported by local officials and sent them to the palace school. Of course, all the recommended talents must pass the examination of Gongxue. The examination papers were reviewed by local officials and division commanders, and in the end, only 150 people from the seven counties of Chu State were left to study in the palace.
This is the biggest event in the Chu State, and countless unknown talents have suddenly risen this year to gain fame. In the recommendation of the Qing clan and the recommendation of the township school, they competed for a small number of places.
And the same is true of Xinxian County, Lujianei Shutang has a direct access to the three hospitals, and everyone in the entire Xinxian County knows that this only direct quota is Lu Qiqian. As for the number of places recommended by the Outer Book Hall, there are only three people, in addition to the many students who study in the Outer Book Hall, there are also children from the Lu family's inner study hall competing for it.
The competition for the three places is in full swing in Xinxian County, but none of this has anything to do with Lu Qikun. In the courtyard of the deep house, Lu Qikun sat cross-legged and meditated, and for nearly dozens of days when he came out of the secret passage, Lu Qikun did not leave the courtyard for a single step. Meditation on the scriptures you have learned, constantly integrate into yourself, and tap the greatest potential of Xinghai Snow Mountain.
The Initial Enlightenment Realm is the cornerstone of a cultivator, the accumulation of one's own knowledge, and is used to tap the potential of the Star Sea Snow Mountain. Although there was no increase in cultivation, Lu Qikun obviously felt stronger, and the starlight and qi were not precipitating, but turning into true yuan and flowing in his body.
At the beginning of the sun, Lu Qikun got up, washed up and left the Lu family's mansion. I haven't left the Lu family for dozens of days, although I am very lonely when I adapt. Especially after getting the hard-won freedom, Lu Qikun only went out once.
After leaving the Lu family's mansion, Lu Qikun looked for a restaurant at random, and soon Lu Qikun felt that today's new county was unusual. The people around were all talking about the famous students, but the most discussed was the real dragon of the Lu family.
"Man, what's going on today, why are so many people discussing famous students and the true dragon of the Lu family," Lu Qikun asked the guy who served the food.
After hearing this, the guy looked at Lu Qikun strangely, and said with a little surprise, "Isn't the son from Chu?"
"Well, I was born and raised in Chu, but I was disciplined by the elders in my family since I was a child, and today is the first time I have come out," Lu Qikun excused.
After hearing this, the guy still couldn't understand and said, "Even if the son is disciplined by the elders, don't you know about the triennial election of the Chu State?"
"Election" Lu Qikun thought after hearing this, the guy saw Lu Qikun's appearance, shook it, and obviously thought that Lu Qikun was not from the Chu State, otherwise how could he not even know such a grand event as the election of the Chu State.
"I can't imagine that time flies so fast" Lu Qikun sighed at the passage of time, and a certain memory came to his mind.
......
.........
Three years ago, in the beginning of autumn, under the willow tree in the garden of the deep house. Lu Qikun and Qingque leaned against the willow tree and looked up to enjoy the beautiful sunset. The autumn breeze gently blows dozens of willows, like a man caressing his lover's hair.
"Today is the election, I don't know how many virtuous people have entered the court as officials, how many generals have joined the army as generals, and how many cultivators have been worshipped," Qingque sighed.
Lu Qikun naturally knew about the election of the Chu State, and this was also the only chance for civilians to rise. Looking at the beautiful side face of the green finch, the expression was extremely yearning. Lu Qikun opened his mouth and said, "You are all princesses, and you still care about these."
"What about the princess, there are some things that even a princess can't do," Qingque sighed.
After hearing this, Lu Qikun asked, "Then you will participate in the election in the future"
"Yes, that's right. I want to go to the Holy Land," said the green sparrow with great firmness
Memories are pulled back into reality. Lu Qikun is unprecedentedly determined, and he will participate in this election no matter what. It's just that without the recommendation of the Qing clan and the township school, it is impossible to participate in the election. The most important thing is that this is a new county controlled by the Lu family, and it is impossible for him to be recommended here.
Lu Qikun found it too difficult for him to participate in the election, and he saw no hope at all. Even if you leave the new county, there is no chance. Whether it is the dead Qing clan or the township school, they will not give a place for no reason, and if he leaves the new county, then the old man will inevitably not make a move.
"There must be a way" Lu Qikun clenched his fists, his head kept thinking, even if there was only a slim chance, Lu Qikun would not give up.
The restaurant gradually became deserted, but Lu Qikun didn't notice it. The streets were bustling with people and gradually moving towards the southwest. It wasn't until the guy came to urge that Lu Qikun reacted. When he saw the empty and deserted restaurant, Lu Qikun was a little confused.
"Guest officer, the shop is closing," the guy urged with a smile, looking outside from time to time.
Lu Qikun frowned and asked, "Why is your restaurant closed in broad daylight?"
"Guest officer, don't you know, the election in this county is about to start," the restaurant guy said anxiously, obviously not wanting to miss the opportunity to watch.
Lu Qikun didn't continue to ask anything, put down some broken silver and left the restaurant. I watched countless people come out of their homes and head southwest. After thinking about it, I also plan to go and see the excitement, after all, it is rare to see such a grand event as a county election, and the most important thing is to see how the election will be held.
