Chapter 713: The Old Man
β¦β¦
"Master, master, why are you here! I'm looking for you in a hurry! The old man was dragged in a trance, and he fixed his mind and saw that it was his coachman, and he walked half of the city in a trance.
This groom was also in a hurry, and he was ordered by the second lady to take the master to Shouchun, but who would have thought that this master would be separated, obviously he gave the master directions. If he hadn't been lucky enough not to find the master, he would have been finished.
The old man, led by the groom, came to the door of a mansion in the inner city of Shouchun, the name of which was Zhou's Mansion.
"Qiao Gong!" Zhou Yu was really in the mansion, and saw the old man clasping his fist at the old man and said.
But the old man didn't return the salute, which made Zhou Yu a little puzzled, shouldn't it, Qiao Gong is a person who regards etiquette as life, or this person doesn't pay attention to interests or official positions, but he cares about reputation very much. Even if you are an acquaintance, you have to come with him properly. But the old man was silent, just when Zhou Yu was about to ask. The old man over there spoke.
"Gong Jin, do you think there will be exactly the same people in this world?" The old man asked Zhou Yu.
"Exactly the same person?" Zhou Yu was very puzzled.
"Well, they look very similar, and even their behavior is the same." The old man looked at Zhou Yu and said.
"Twins?" Zhou Yu was a little puzzled, it shouldn't be, if you talk about twins, then there are also differences, for example, this behavior is not the same in terms of personality.
"Gong Qiao, what did you see today?" Zhou Yu asked suspiciously. "There are no other leaves the same in this world!"
"yes, how can there be the same leaves in this world. She's already dead. Never mind. Don't want to! The old man shook his head and shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and the old man came back to his senses, "Gong Jin, where is Yue'er?" The old man cared about his other daughter.
"Yue'er is not in the mansion!" Zhou Yu said to the old man.
"Not in the mansion?" The old man looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously.
"Well, he's accompanying the old lady in his brother's mansion!" Zhou Yu said to the old man, the reason why the old man came to Yangzhou Shouchun this time was because Mrs. Wu was going to have a big birthday, and with the relationship between the Qiao family and the Sun family, the old man wanted to participate. The old lady also accepted Qiao Yue as a righteous daughter.
"Yes!" The old man nodded.
"Gong Qiao, you're tired from the journey, let's go and rest first!" Zhou Yu said to Qiao Gong.
"There is Lao Gongjin!" Qiao Gong nodded and did not refuse. Left with the housekeeper. Zhou Yu looked at the old man's back, "Yue'er, being a brother can only help you do it here, and whether it will be successful depends on the day after tomorrow." β
β¦β¦
These days, Liu Mang is almost dizzy, not only the Yangzhou exam, but also one thing, that is, Mrs. Wu, who is Liu Mang's mother-in-law, is going to have a big birthday, so Liu Mang has to prepare in advance, he is the king of Shu and is concerned by everyone. There are some etiquettes that can't be paid, even if Liu Mang doesn't want to go. Mrs. Sun at home will spare him.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wu has a big birthday, and Liu Mang, as the king of Shu, does not need to arrive at the beginning, he only needs to go directly to eat after those false ceremonies are over.
"Xiang'er! Let's go! "Liu Mang can only bring one lady to the banquet, which should have been the genuine lady Miss Lu, but this is Mrs. Wu's banquet, Miss Lu naturally gave it to Sun Shangxiang and let Sun Shangxiang and Liu Mang go together.
"Yes!" Sun Shangxiang nodded, his husband gave him face very much, and he participated in his mother's banquet.
Wu Hou's mansion is like a city, today is Mrs. Wu's birthday, originally with Sun Ce's prestige and status, there are not so many people here, but Mrs. Wu has the identity of a mother-in-law of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, so basically as long as it is not a rotating official, all the big and small are here, and the entire Wu Hou Mansion, a big house with seven entrances and seven exits, can't sit so many people.
There are dozens of tables above the mansion, and there are hundreds of tables outside.
Qiao Yue looked at a quiet corner, watching the people coming and going at the door, as if she was looking for something.
"Don't worry, Yue'er, he will definitely come." Zhou Yu walked behind Qiao Yue and said to Qiao Yue.
"Yes!" Qiao Yue nodded.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu has arrived!" Just as she was expecting it, a loud porter over there screamed loudly.
Liu Mang's figure gradually appeared at the gate, the soldiers in front of him opened the way, and behind him stood Guan Hai Zhoucang, Liu Mang sat on the dragon pan, and only then did he fall on top of Wu Hou's mansion.
This is not Liu Mang's hypocrisy, but Liu Mang is saving face for Wu Houfu, if Liu Mang comes over directly, then it means that Wu Houfu is not well entertained, and maybe even our Royal Highness the King of Shu is angry and dissatisfied with Wu Hou.
But in this way, the soldiers opened the way and came by Longpan, this is the biggest face-giving, this is to tell everyone, his Royal Highness the King of Shu has come down, and he is also telling everyone, this Wu Hou Mansion, and he Liu Mang is a very close family.
"Ministers greet His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Liu Mang has not yet entered the gate, there are already people at the gate to greet him, the head is the owner of Wu Hou's mansion, Wu Hou Sun Ce, behind him is Zhou Yu Huang Gai and others, and then the side is Yangzhou's civil and military, Liu Mang saw that Zhuge Villager also came to join in the fun, Xu Shu did not come, he was not available, Lu Su did not come, he was afraid that his face would scare people, Mi Zhu this household Shangshu also came, two of the six came, plus Huang Zhong and others, it can be said that Wu Hou Sun Ce is simply glorious today.
"The old body has seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu! His Royal Highness the King of Shu is safe! Old Madam Wu was on crutches, and with the support of the maid over there, she was going to salute Liu Mang.
Liu Mang hurriedly stepped forward, "Mother-in-law, why do you have to be like this, we are a family!" Today is your birthday, and I should worship my mother-in-law. β
"The old body doesn't dare!" Old Madam Wu was very knowledgeable and said modestly to Liu Mang.
"What don't you dare, it's all a family, come, the son-in-law Liu Mang has seen the mother-in-law, thank you to the mother-in-law for marrying the pearl in the palm to the son-in-law." Liu Mang said half-bowed to the old lady.
"Poor mouth!" Sun Shangxiang on the side said to Liu Mangjiao. Liu Mang's action made everyone's restraint disappear at once. Today, there are no kings and ministers, only sons-in-law to pay birthday to their mother-in-law.
"Get up!" Liu Mang waved his hand and shouted at the people below.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" A group of Yangzhou civil and military officers stood up.
"Wu Hou Sun Ce has seen His Highness!" Sun Ce stepped forward and hugged his fist at Liu Mang.
"My overlord brother. I said that today I came to the door as a son-in-law. Instead of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, do you need me to give the king's order? Liu Mang said to Sun Ce with a smile.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty!" Sun Ce still wanted to call His Highness, but Liu Mang snorted, so he should be called, "Han Yang!" β
"That's right!"
Sun Ce can call Liu Mang's words, others don't dare, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others also stepped forward to greet each other with fists, and Liu Mang also nodded a little.
It was Zhuge Liang's turn, but Liu Mang stopped him as soon as he said, "Yo." Lord Zhuge Shangshu, why did you come to the banquet. β
"Naturally, Wu Hou invited me!" Zhuge Liang defiantly took out the invitation to Liu Mang and said.
"I don't remember that the Criminal Department wasn't on duty today." Liu Mang looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile. The six departments only have two days off at the end of October, and today is not, not to mention that one must have a squire or a shangshu alone.
"I'm not feeling well, please take a break!" Zhuge Liang didn't blink his eyes and lied directly in front of Liu Mang, the boss.
"I'm not feeling well and I'm still coming to dinner!" Liu Mang said angrily.
"Doctor Hua Shen asked me to run more, running is good for ventilation and good for my body!" Zhuge Liang directly dragged Hua Tuo over there into the water. Hua Tuo was shot while lying down.
Liu Mang looked behind Zhuge Liang and asked, "Doctor Hua, what is the condition of this Kong Ming, and what about his medical list?" β
Zhuge Liang subconsciously said, "Doctor Hua, I'm going to look for you today, if you're not there, I'll let you." Let, let..."Zhuge Liang turned around and realized. Where is Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo is busy reading the medical books that Liu Mang gave him every day, where is the kung fu to attend the dinner, Zhuge Liang knew that he had been brushed. Zhuge Liang's face was very dark.
Well, this illness is fake, and I didn't even go to the hospital for fraud. Liu Mang said that if he is sick, he needs someone from the hospital to issue a diagnosis, just to prevent some officials from pretending to be sick.
Liu Mang looked at Zhuge Liang playfully.
"I'm done!" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Mang, I skipped work as soon as I looked at it, what's the matter, my business is done.
"One month, no, three months' salary is gone!" Liu Mang also said with a smile.
"Why!" Zhuge Liang shouted, although our Mr. Zhuge is not yet married, but this fiancΓ©e has been injected into the mansion, that is Miss Huang of Jingzhou, this Miss Huang Family, but she is highly intelligent, and she is also a tigress type, so our Kong Ming military division has always been a lady in history.
This Miss Huang is in strict control of Zhuge Liang's salary, so Zhuge Liang has no extra money at all, if he knows that his salary has been deducted, Zhuge Liang will have to explain when he goes back.
"Not for anything!" Liu Mang smiled at Zhuge Liang: "Just because I am your lord!" "Originally, I pretended to be sick for no reason, and I should have deducted one month's salary, but Liu Mang's big stroke was three months.
"You!" Seeing Zhuge Liang eat deflated, Liu Mang laughed and left, and even Zhou Yu on the side gloated and patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder, "Brother Kong Ming, do you want me to lend you money?" β
"Get out!" Zhuge Liang shouted at Zhou Yu.
In the hall, the old lady's birthday banquet, naturally everyone showed their own powers, and all kinds of gifts were sent, and Liu Mang also sent mountains and stones, which was a metaphor for the old lady's longevity than Nanshan. Sending gold and silver, Mrs. Wu is not bad, such a mountain stone has a unique charm.
Halfway through the dinner, Mrs. Wu went back early to rest when she was tired, and Sun Shangxiang also accompanied her mother. left a group of Yangzhou civil and military in the hall.
"Your Highness, you can come to the mansion to celebrate the birthday of your old mother in your busy schedule, let Ce feel deeply honored, thank you Lord Longen, do it first as a respect!" Sun Ce said that it was a glass of wine.
Sun Ce toasted, Liu Mang had no choice but to drink, if he didn't drink, he wouldn't give face.
"Your Highness, Sun Ce is my brother, and Mrs. Wu is like Yu's old mother, and Yu also respects His Highness." Zhou Yu also walked up and said first.
Liu Mang had no choice but to drink again.
"Your Highness, I, Huang Gai, used to be a retainer of the Sun family, and the old lady is Huang Gai's old housewife. Gai also thanked His Highness for the old lady! "Another glass.
"Your Highness. You are the son-in-law of the old lady. You are also Wu Hou's brother-in-law, and I are a family, I will do it first as a respect! β
Liu Mang didn't know how much he had drunk, and even Zhuge Liang came up over there, as if he wanted to take revenge on his salary.
Liu Mang seemed to have withdrawn halfway through the wine, and if he continued like this, he would be drunk sooner or later, but there was a news from there, and the grandmother of the Sun family had already accompanied Mrs. Wu to sleep. The mother and daughter have to talk at night.
Yes, Liu Mang couldn't leave, and he didn't know how much he drank, and in the end, Liu Mang was really drunk.
In a daze, Liu Mang was sent to the room above Wu Hou's mansion that was originally reserved for Sun Shangxiang's relatives under the guidance of the subordinates above Wu Hou's mansion, and Liu Mang went to bed and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Liu Mang was woken up. Listening to the sound, there was a lot of noise outside, and it seemed to be quite intense.
"What's the situation?" Liu Mang rubbed his eyes and got up, and walked out after a little baptism in the bronze mirror.
"Who are you, and why are you in my daughter's boudoir?" It was the old man's voice, and there was anger in it.
"You old man is so uninteresting. This is your daughter's boudoir, and this is obviously my housewife's room above Wu Hou's mansion! = Guan Hai's voice also sounded.
"Your mother-in-law. You are? The old man looked at this Guan Hai, suddenly remembered something, pointed at Guan Hai and shouted loudly, "You are the guard that day?" β
"Huh? Uncle, do you know me? Guan Hai wondered.
"You are the guard of Liu Mang, the king of Shu?" The old man continued.
"yes!" Guan Hai nodded.
"So it's Liu Mang, the king of Shu, who lives inside?" The old man continued.
"Yes, our lord was drunk last night, so he fell asleep on top of Wu Hou's mansion. You old man is so uninteresting, this is obviously my mother's boudoir! Zhou Cang also spoke.
"This is Wuhou Mansion?" The old man was about to burst into anger, and his face turned red
"Liu Mang, puppet king, you hypocrite, you come out for me, people like you are simply a sven, how can your majesty make a person like you a king? Scum, scum! The old man became more and more annoyed, and scolded Liu Mang angrily with these words.
"What's so noisy!" Liu Mang finally woke up, he looked outside the door and it was quite lively, an old man was spitting and arguing with Zhou Cang Guan Hai, Guan Hai Zhou Cang's face was red, it was obvious that this was a rhythm that couldn't be argued.
And there are more and more people in the courtyard, all attracted by this voice.
"What about my daughter?" The old man questioned Liu Mang.
"Your daughter?" Liu Mang was confused: "Who is your daughter?" β
"Liu Mang, the king of Shu, deceives people too much, deceives people too much, I fight with you when you are old!" The old man's face was flushed, your Shu king Liu Mang ran to his boudoir, you asked him who his daughter was? Liu Mang hadn't reacted yet, and the old man over there didn't even move his mouth but changed his hands.
"Uncle, don't go too far, don't think you're an old man, we won't dare to touch you!" Guan Hai threatened the old man.
The old man rushed towards Liu Mang, and Guan Hai was about to make a move. If Guan Hai's fist were to go down, this old man would lose at least half his life.
"Stop!" At this critical juncture, a coquettish voice came from outside the courtyard. A beautiful woman walked in.
"Yue'er! Why are you here? "The old man saw his daughter." You're not there? The old man asked suspiciously, "That's his daughter's boudoir."
"Yue'er?" Liu Mang looked at the woman over there and was a little familiar, but he couldn't think of it, was it? No, it won't! She is young, but the woman in front of her is like a lady.
"Father, didn't Brother Gongjin sue you? I live with an old lady. Didn't live in your own room! The girl, Yue'er, said to her father.
"That's good, that's good!" The old man nodded incessantly.
"You old man is so weird!" Guan Hai said.
"Where have we met this Yue'er girl?" Liu Mang asked the woman suspiciously.
He forgot about himself! The bitterness in the woman's heart for a while, after having a sister, did you forget me?
"I haven't seen it, how can you see it, our family doesn't want to see you!" The old man over there was obviously hostile to Liu Mang.
"What's going on!" Someone else appeared, and this person was none other than Sun Ce, the owner of Wu Houfu, and Zhou Yu.
"Your Highness, we've been looking for you for a long time. You were in the Zhou Mansion? Sun Ce stepped forward and said to Liu Mang.
"Zhou Mansion?" Liu Mang was simply confused. Didn't he go to the banquet on top of Wu Hou's mansion? How in Zhoufu?
"My lord, this is indeed the Zhou Mansion!" Zhou Yu, the owner of the mansion, also stepped forward.
"Wu Hou, we are obviously in your Wu Hou Mansion, how could we come to the Zhou Mansion. I don't read much, and you can't lie to me! Yesterday, it was your family who brought us to Miss's boudoir! Zhou Cang said to Sun Ce.
"Ahh Sun Ce suddenly chopped his foot, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Sun Ce explained, that is, this Zhou family and Wu Houfu have figured it out. This is what Zhou Yu and Sun Ce did so that the two families can communicate with each other. After Liu Mang, the king of Shu, got drunk last night, Sun Ce ordered his subordinates to take Liu Mang to the lady's boudoir, but this subordinate was borrowed from Zhou Yu's mansion, so he subconsciously brought Liu Mang to the Zhou mansion, because the young lady of the Zhou mansion was that month.
Liu Mang understood, that is, he slept in the boudoir of this girl called Yue'er for one night.
"Pseudo-king Liu Mang, you still don't admit it! You are despicable and shameless! The old man was still calling.
Zhou Cang was annoyed and said directly, "Old man, the head of the family didn't sleep with your daughter, what are you calling, isn't it just sleeping in a boudoir!" β
Bad thing! This idea suddenly appeared in the minds of Liu Mang and the others.
"You thief, me. Fight with you! The old man fainted in a fit of rage.
"Father, father!"
"Gong Qiao. Qiao Gong! The girl named Yue'er and the Zhou Yu were startled and hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man.
"Shameless, shameless!" The old man woke up by the middle of the man, but his mouth was still screaming.
"It's true that if you sleep with your daughter, you won't call death!" Zhou Cang's big mouth started again, and Liu Mang's eyes widened and he shut up.
"Gong Qiao?" Liu Mang looked at Zhou Yu and Sun Ce suspiciously. "Him?"
"Your Highness, this person is my Jiangdong Confucian Qiao Xuan, Qiao Gong!" Sun Ce explained to Liu Mang.
"Qiao Xuan Qiao Gong?" Liu Mang's eyes widened, if this old man is Qiao Xuan, then this old man is Liu Mang's father-in-law? This girl called Yue'er in front of you?
Liu Mang's mind came to mind, when he was near the Lujiang River, in the forest.
A young girl in white, called He Yue, at first the little girl had a lot of hostility towards Liu Mang, and then slowly became a kind of dependence, Liu Mang still remembered that she threatened herself, saying that she would let his brother Yu come to him to settle accounts, Liu Mang also remembered that this girl named He Yue told herself when she left, so that she should not forget him.
"He, Heyue?" Liu Mang looked at this girl named Yue'er.
This girl named Yue'er was happy in his heart, he hadn't forgotten himself, but then he was still a little annoyed in his heart, he didn't recognize himself at first, women are always unreasonable animals, so Qiao Yue's attitude towards Liu Mang was very cold, "Your Highness, you recognized the wrong person!" β
"Mistaken person?" Liu Mang smiled bitterly twice, how could he recognize the wrong person, at first he just didn't dare to admit it, but now Liu Mang can confirm it 100%, because isn't the current He Yue the same as Qiao Yu at the beginning? She, this little girl has finally grown up, from a green apple to a red apple.
But what if you remember it? Liu Mang looked at Qiao Yue, and then looked here, this is the Zhou Mansion, wasn't it Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who the Qiao sisters wanted to marry, but they robbed Sun Ce's marriage. According to the time, the current Qiao Yue should also get married, Zhou Yu is so blessed.
"Lord, Yu has always regarded Yue'er as her sister!" Zhou Yu suddenly said to Liu Mang.
Why are you treating Qiao Yue as a sister and suing me, wait! Liu Mang turned his head and asked Zhou Yu, "You are not married?" β
"Lord, Gong Jin has long sworn not to take it in this life!" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and said to Liu Mang.
"You are not Zhou Xiaobai, how do you know, Zhou Xiaobaiyan will never marry" Zhou Cang's big mouth opened again.
"Because I know, so I know!" Sun Ce seemed to think of something and laughed. Seeing Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looking at each other deeply, Zhou Cang couldn't help but have a cold war.
"Zhou Yu didn't take it? Qiao Yue is not married? Liu Mang's heart suddenly appeared happy, but then it dimmed, how could so many tigresses in their family marry Qiao Yue? And with Qiao Yue's attitude towards him, and that Qiao Gong?
If it weren't for Guan Hai and Zhou Cang blocking it today. This old man can really find his own life. That's it. I still want to marry Qiao Yue, dream.
"It's not too early, Bo Fu, Gongjin, I should go back too!" Liu Mang thought about it, but shook his head and prepared to leave.
"Lord's month?" Zhou Yu was about to shout to stop Liu Mang, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to leave without hearing it at all.
β¦β¦
Liu Mang sat on the top of the main hall there was a bunch of cases in front of him liu mang looked at the cases but this thought had already flown to i don t know where it was. Mao Lin, two women in white, the tiger and the little tigers.
The tigress let Liu Mang know them, and the little tigers were also released back into the mountains and forests, but the qiΔ and qiΔ were as if they were just yesterday, which made Liu Mang unforgettable.
"The name of the lord's big exam is..."Xu Shu walked the hall, and he was about to report to Liu Mang, but he didn't hear Liu Mang's reaction after talking for a long time, and when he looked up, the lord of their family always maintained a movement.
"My lord. Lord! Just when Liu Mang was stunned, someone suddenly slapped him on the side.
"Huh?" Liu Mang came back to his senses: "What's wrong with Yuan Zhi?" β
All right! Xu Shu knew that what he said just now was in vain, and this lord didn't hear anything just now.
"My lord! The results of the big exam are out. Xu Shu said again to Liu Mang.
"The results of the big exam are out? Good. How many people were taken? I Yangzhou geometry, Jiangdong geometry? Liu Mang shook off the thoughts in his mind and asked Xu Shu on the side.
"The lord has taken a total of 120 people this time!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang, in fact, the number of people who really passed was only forty, of which thirty-nine were scholars from Yangzhou, and only one was from other places. However, what Liu Mang really wants this time is to take 120 people, except for 30 people who stay in the Sixth Department, the rest will have to go to various places, and many places in Jiangdong and Xuzhou need to have grassroots officials such as county commanders and county lieutenants.
I can only be admitted on the basis of merit, and the score is in the first 120 people. Among these 120 people, there are also about 60 scholars in Yangzhou, 30 in Jiangdong, more than a dozen in Xuzhou, and more than a dozen in other states! It all adds up to one hundred and twenty people.
Xu Shu was a little dissatisfied with those who failed, because Liu Mang was obviously preparing to fill up the number indiscriminately, and first get the number of people up, with Xu Shu's idea, that is, if there is a shortage of others, it will not be rotten, and only forty people will be accepted.
But Liu Mang doesn't think so, mathematics is a thing that many people still haven't touched, this time it's less, that's because other people basically haven't seen it, a big exam can't be nothing, this second time, the third time, it's really a scale, and these people who don't pass are also considered talents among scholars.
"Huh!" Liu Mang looked at the list Xu Shu gave him in his hand, and couldn't help but be surprised, because there was actually one person in the top forty, and this person was the Bu Kai Bu Bocheng that Liu Mang had seen in the Shouchun Hotel.
"This person is the Bu Kai of the Bu family?" Liu Mang asked Xu Shu.
"Well, it's indeed a Jiangdong person!" Xu Shu nodded.
"This Bu Kai is really a talent!" Liu Mang said with a smile.
"The forty people who passed, these are all in the sixth!" Liu Mang allocated it, and those with better grades were placed in the six departments, because the six departments belonged to the center of Yangzhou, and although the official position was a little smaller in the center, at least they were promoted quickly.
"Put the rest in place!" Liu Mang said to Xu Shu.
"As for this Bukai!" Liu Mang thought for a while: "Let him go to Jiangdong to be a county magistrate!" Liu Mang said to Xu Shu.
"Go to Jiangdong to be a county magistrate? Don't stay in the six parts? Xu Shu was puzzled, "Lord, I have also seen this Bukai, this person is a talent, especially in the criminal law, he has done a good job, giving him to Kong Ming should be able to take the criminal department to the next level, share the burden for Kong Ming, and let Kong Ming also rest." β
"Let that villager rest?" Liu Mang listened to Xu Shu's words, and even more wanted to let this Bu Kai go to Jiangdong. But Liu Mang won't say it so bluntly, otherwise he will be despised, this is not a personal vendetta.
"This Bu Kai is the Jiangdong Bu family! The gap between Buqi and Jiangdong Bujia, Yuanzhi, you don't know it! Whether it is the Bu family or the Bu Qi, it is an indispensable part of our army in Yangzhou! Liu Mang said to Xu Shu, Buqi is talented, and Buqi is in Jiangdong. Things in Koto are well organized. And the step family. It is the Dashi clan in Jiangdong, if it is only the scholar Liu Mang, it doesn't matter, even if they are destroyed, no one dares to talk more, but this step family is very discerning and insightful, and immediately after Liu Mang took Jiangdong, he wrote to Liu Mang, and wanted to offer all the fertile land in the family. Liu Mang naturally wouldn't ask for these fields in vain, so he bought them at the market price. With the Bujia as a role model, the other Jiangdong scholars naturally slowly accepted Yangzhou's policy of buying land.
Such a scholar clan who was set up as an example by Liu Mang, if Liu Mang was destroyed, or embarrassed this Bu family for the sake of Bu Qi, wouldn't this be a slap in the face. So what Liu Mang needs is a harmonious step family and step club.
And this Bukai is one of those bridges.
"Which city is the lord going to let this Bukai go to?" Xu Shu asked suspiciously.
Liu Mang looked at Jiangdong, a total of six counties, Wu County, Huiji, Danyang, Yuzhang, Luling, and Lujiang.
Lujiang is not needed, and Huiji is being rebuilt. Danyang Yuzhang is also a little far away, just Luling. This place has jurisdiction over 10 counties of Xichang, Gaochang, Shiyang, Baqiu, Nanye, Dongchang, Xinxing, Jiyang, Xingping and Jiucheng.
"Let him be the prefectural order of Minamino!" This is a place in Jiangdong that is relatively close to Jingzhou, and it can be said that it is also a place that can be meritorious, Liu Mang needs to give this Bu Kai a chance to let him be promoted, and then Liu Mang can let this person be Bu Qi's deputy.
Of course, Liu Mang can't directly let Bu Kai be Bu Qi's deputy, because in this way, a discerning person can see at a glance that it must be gradual and too much.
"Good!" Xu Shu nodded and wrote on the appointment letter.
β¦β¦
"Shu County, Guo Jia, Guo Yi student, congratulations to Guo Xuexue, you have already reached the first class of the twelfth in high school, and you are in the criminal department!"
"Hefei, become a family, become a tiger student, congratulations to Cheng Xuexue, the title of the gold list, twenty-two high school B students, send Xuzhou Guangling to serve as a county lieutenant."
Congratulations, Yangzhou Shouchun is very lively today, all kinds of congratulations, there are also all kinds of annoyance, some of the students from various states beat their chests, and some are pointing to the country, full of righteousness. Because the gold list has come out.
The reason why it is called the Golden List is because Liu Mang uses a golden cloth, on which is written the name of the high school student, the golden color, symbolizing the carp jumping over the dragon gate, so it is called the Golden Bang by people.
The gold list is divided into A, B, and C, and the first class is the first class, and only 30 people are taken, and these 30 people are left in Shouchun, and they enter the six departments, and the second class is 40 people, and these 40 people are basically sent to various counties to do county orders, and there is also the C class, and the C class is also released as an official, of course, not to be the leader of the county, but to be the county lieutenant or the main book ceremony.
"I'm in, I'm in!" A poor disciple of Jiangdong suddenly shouted, it was crazy, although it looked very ugly, but everyone had no jokes, more of an envy.
The title of the gold list, in the past, it was the right of the children of the scholar clan to be an official, and only when the country changed, the children of the poor family would be allowed to get ahead, even if there were very few children of the poor family who could be officials, the average poor person would either write letters to people, or be a small official, and it was impossible to be an official.
And Liu Mang has such a big test now, and the children of the poor family came to try their luck, but they didn't expect to be hit this time.
"Congratulations to Brother Bian, congratulations to Brother Bian, you have won the second class of twenty!" A few classmates on the side congratulated this former friend.
"Where is the C-class, only the C-class!" This one who won the gold list was still crazy just now, and after laughing, he naturally had to be humble, because he was angry from today to be an official master.
"Brother Bian can be an official here, and he is the parent official of a county!" Some people are envious.
"Where is the parent official, it's just a county lieutenant, and there is a county magistrate above!" This Brother Bian is a C-class, not a county commander but a county lieutenant, he is very modest, but the smile in his eyes can't be hidden.
"Brother Bu, what do you think you can win!" Someone looked at a partial son, and this person was Bukai Gongzi.
"Brother Bu is only eight buckets high, so naturally he is going to come back from the first class." Someone said that this Bu Kai can be said to be the leader among their Jiangdong scholars.
"That is, His Royal Highness the King of Shu has praised our step brothers, and the title of the step brother gold list is naturally not a problem." Liu Mang's words to Bu Kai were heard by everyone, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu was very happy with Bu Kai.
"Look at Brother Bu, being calm and calm must be confident!"
Is Bukai really confident? Not at all, and not at all. Because Bu Kai's hand holding the teacup was shaking. If you look closely. His legs were shaking, too. If you don't feel nervous, it's all fake. The title of the gold list, when he Bukai came to Shouchun, he came in high spirits.
"First class?" Bu Kai is also very envious, staying in Shouchun and entering the six departments, that is, he is really an official of the central government, and it is not bad for the second class to go to the county to make a county order, although the third class is a county lieutenant and some official positions, but it can be regarded as a good thing. Looking at the several students over there who had already congratulated each other. Bu Kai's heart is full of envy.
"Which one is Bu Kai, Bu Student, Bu Kai Bu from Jiangdong!" Just when Bu Kai was still nervous, the official over there walked in and asked everyone.
"Is there another person on the list?" Bu Kai subconsciously thought that this official came to send him to the list.
"Which one is Bu Kai, Bu Xue, Bu Kai from Jiangdong Bujia? Didn't the students live here? The official was a little puzzled, because the address written by the student was this hotel.
"Brother step, brother called you!" Just when Bu Kai was still stunned, someone shouted at Bu Kai over there.
"Ahh Bu Kai reacted at this time. It turned out that this was to find himself.
"I am, I am! I'm Bukai. Bu Kai hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"You're Bukai. Step student? The official who came to deliver the list asked suspiciously, because he saw that this person was sitting on the side drinking tea just now, if he was Bukai, why did he shout so much and ignore it, don't be an impostor.
"Really, I'm Bukai, from Jiangdong." Bu Kai spoke.
"Is there a proof?" The official was still skeptical.
"Proof?" Bu Kai was stunned for a moment, because the Yangzhou big exam was the first time, and there were really few impostors. "They, they can all prove that I'm Bukai."
"Yes, this is Bu Kai, Brother Bu!" A group of fellow villagers and classmates on the side shouted.
"Yes!" The official nodded, "Congratulations to the step student, congratulations to the step student, you have won the twenty-eighth place in the gold list in high school!" β
High school? Level? The crowd on the side all gasped.
Because the first class is basically Yangzhou students so far, the reason is that these Yangzhou students came out of Yangzhou Academy, and they have studied these science subjects, so they can have more advantages than others.
This is the first time that a first-class student is not a student from Yangzhou.
Bu Kai didn't expect that he would be able to get a first-class, although it was the bottom, but it was also first-class.
"Thank you, thank you!" Bu Kai hurriedly said excitedly.
"Step student, release Luling County, Nanye County Order!" The official who delivered the letter said to Bu Kai.
"Ahhh Everyone didn't understand, didn't the top of the gold list all enter the sixth department? Why did it become an outward release when he Bukai arrived?
The crowd was very puzzled and couldn't help but ask this official.
"Such a matter of setting the list, of course, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, his old man personally set it, how can we guess at will!" The official said to the crowd.
This was personally set by His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and naturally everyone had nothing to say about such a sentence.
"Step student, don't forget the award in two days, farewell!" The official clenched his fists at Bu Kai and left.
"Brother Bu, isn't His Royal Highness the King of Shu partial, why did the other people stay in the six departments of Yangzhou, but you just want to be released when you are first-class?" Some people are upset about Bu Kai.
These individuals basically belong to the people who are famous in Sun Mountain, they didn't make it to the list, looking at Bu Kai on the list, sour, but when they heard this Bu Kai Jia and the others, they were still released, and their hearts were a little more comfortable.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu's thoughts are something you and I can guess at will! His Royal Highness naturally has what he means, Brother Bu, I am right! "This person who said good things for Liu Mang is naturally our brother Bian on the list, C, just a county lieutenant, but it also makes this brother Bian very satisfied, because he is a poor student, he has never been involved in officialdom in his life, but now he is an official, this is basically a change of fate, how can he not die for Liu Mang, the king of Shu.
"Yes, Your Highness's thoughts, it's not something we can guess at will!" Bu Kai also nodded, he remembered the words that His Royal Highness the King of Shu said to him when he left, he wanted to see himself on the gold list, and he was also very optimistic about himself. Then note. This His Royal Highness the King of Shu must have a lot of trust for himself. Otherwise, I wouldn't say that, the only person with the title of the first-class gold list is that it must have the intention of His Royal Highness the King of Shu. Thinking about it like this, Bu Kai's heart is much better.
Two days later, in the Shouchun Hall, all the high school students were invited to the hall, which was once a place where Yangzhou had a lot of civil and military discussions, and today it has changed a lot of faces.
"Look, that's Xu Neixiang, I heard that Xu Neixiang was born as a poor family like me!"
"Yes, yes, if only we could do what Xu Neixiang did!" Everyone is envious, Xu Shu can be said to be the idol of those poor children. Born in a poor family, but can become a figure above 10,000 people under one person, how can it not be envied.
"You just dream, people like Xu Neixiang, can you do it?" Someone poured cold water.
"I can't do it! Anyway, we are also officials, as long as we are loyal to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, we will definitely be able to do it in the future. β
"Okay, okay, the voice is quieter, Xu Neixiang and His Royal Highness the King of Shu have come down!" Someone over there reminded.
Only then did everyone see a person dressed in a royal dragon robe walk out of the apse and sit on the main hall, this person was Liu Mang, the king of Shu.
'His Royal Highness the King of Shu has arrived! The chamberlain shouted loudly.
"We have seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu, His Royal Highness the King of Shu Wan'an!" All the students knelt down, and they were their bosses from now on.
"Students, get even!" Liu Mang waved his hand and said to the people below.
"Your Highness!"
"You won the gold list. Nature is the pillar of my Yangzhou, and I am very pleased to see you. Ten years of hard work is waiting for the title of the gold list! Liu Mang's words resonated with the students below, especially those poor children, they didn't study just to get ahead, and Liu Mang gave them such an opportunity. Some even whimpered at the thought of their suffering.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for giving us the opportunity!"
"Don't thank me yet, I gave you the opportunity to be an official, that's because you are capable, not to let you be corrupt, but to let you be an official and benefit one party!" Liu Mang said to the people below, "I ugly said in front, the big exam is just a means to take a scholar, what I want to see is the ability, some of you below you have entered the six departments, and some people are released as the county commander and county lieutenant, as long as you have the ability, then you will naturally be promoted, maybe there will be your future seats in the hall today, but if you don't have the ability to govern one side, then I'm sorry, I can only ask you to go home, if someone not only does nothing, but also corruption, or the fish and meat are dangerous hΓ i people, Then Shouchun's prison will be open for you! Liu Mang said and released the killing intent on his body.
"Kill!" In the main hall, a group of guards also pulled out their swords, these people all came out of the battlefield, which of those individuals did not have several lives, so after drinking, suddenly a group of students on the field were frightened, and some even had water stains on their bodies.
"Okay, there is a dinner tonight, and the banquet is considered to be the king's celebration for you, and two days later, I will go to the post, and those who stay in the sixth department will report to the sixth department!" Liu Mang said to the group of scholars under his hands.
Liu Mang didn't go to the banquet in the evening, because he knew that if he was there, these scholars would not let go.
And if he doesn't go, these people can be high-spirited, after all, they are all young people.
Immediately, there were those who wrote poems and sang lyrics, all of which were the artistic conception of some individuals who had to be proud of their lives, and they have since stood out.
There is one person who is not so crazy, the person who takes it is Bu Kai, Bu Kai drank some wine to fill his stomach and did not leave, just looked at these colleagues who were in the same class as him and giggled together, if he left early, it would offend people.
Just when Bu Kai was entertaining, a servant suddenly came over and said to Bu Kai, "But Lord Bu Kai Bu?" "Bu Kai has already obtained the official seal, so he has to be called an adult.
"You are?" Bu Kai looked at the servant suspiciously.
"Lord Bu Kaibu, there is an old man who wants to see you, please come with me!"
"The deceased?" Bu Kai was stunned for a moment, where did he have any old people in Yangzhou, "Could it be?" (To be continued......)
