Chapter 13, Cao Wei Wujing

Ma Qi was the least injured, Chen Wei was the most seriously injured, and Ma Jun was in between. It was Jun who cleaned up Chen Jun, and the third one interrogated Ma Jun, the young man didn't cry or make trouble, but his eyes were straight, as if he was scared away. Shi Jun asked him three sentences, he stammered and could only answer half of the sentence, and the more scared and nervous he was, the more unsmooth this note became, and Shi Zigao quickly got tired of listening to it, and simply returned to prison.

As Jun and Lu Ping expected, at noon on the second day, someone claiming to be a little official of Fufeng came to Zheng County to inquire, saying that we and the nearly 100 scholars who escorted the imperial examination passed through Guixian, and unexpectedly lost three, and your county might help to visit? It was Jun who casually gave a vague pass, and then deliberately sent Chen Yun and the other three people back who had been treated for the injury medicine every other day.

The caliber of the Fufeng officials is that these three people were killed by Liu, a thief in the mountains of Zunling, and it is estimated that Liu tortured them, and they wanted to inquire about the news outside the mountain, and the county sent people to visit, and after getting the news, they rushed in to save them, and finally fished them out. Chen Yun and the others had a confession in Shi Jun's hands, so they naturally didn't dare to say anything truthful, and they had to do nothing but this.

It was a blessing in disguise, originally as a three, there was no qualification to get on the bus, so they could only follow behind, but now they are injured, but they can go to the carriage justifiably.

Ma Qi and Ma Jun knocked out their front teeth and swallowed blood, so they had to grit their teeth and swallow this breath. Chen Zifu said viciously to his companions in private: "If I win, I will not be able to rest with him!" "Ma Qi said forget it, I heard that the county Zun Nai Taiwei is Hongfu's younger brother, and the backer is very hard, how big of an official do you have to be to get revenge? I'm afraid I won't have a chance in my life. Chen Yun sneered: "This revenge is not shared, and it will not be avenged?" It is a thief who pretends to be the head of the scriptures. Cunning. If you don't believe, you won't fall! As the saying goes, "those who love others." and love the black on the house; Those who hate others will hate the rest of the people", Chen Su was not worthy of Hongfu's policy, but now he hates it to the bone, so he simply hates his backer and thinks about repaying it.

The people of Fufeng rested outside Zheng County for two more days, set off to the east again, and finally arrived at the capital Luoyang after more than ten days.

Luoyang is named because it is located in the Yang (North) of Luoshui. After the Zhou Gong went on an eastward expedition, after breaking Wu Geng and Ding Yin, in order to calm the east, he built two cities in this place, the east is where the palace is located, the name is the king's city, the west is where the temple is located, the name is Zhou, and the general name is Luoyi. King Ping moved eastward, abandoned Zhou Hao and became Zhou Luo; Later it was Qin Merge. It was renamed Luoyang and was under the jurisdiction of Sanchuan County. Han Gaozu Liu Bang destroyed Chu Xinghan. The initial capital was in Luoyang, and later moved to Chang'an, and Luoyang was taken as Henan County. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu considered that Guanzhong was broken, and reverted to Luoyang as the capital, because at that time, the saying of Wei Wei was popular, and the Han Dynasty was called Huode, and he was afraid that it would clash with the word "water", so he changed his name to Luoyang.

The word "雒" originally refers to "鵋鶀", that is, a small owl - Yizhou is the county of Yu, which is governed by Guanghan County.

Caught in the Wei Dynasty, Cao's practice, discussed where the capital was located, Zhuguo Xiahou Yuanrang and other suggestions were still in Anyi, Taifu Cao Qujian and other suggestions were moved to Xuchang, and Taiwei was Hongfu was intended to be Chang'an. It was Hongfu who said: "Anyi is in the east of the river, surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is good for defense and not conducive to attacking. However, Wu Zi Youyun: "There is no danger in Germany. 'All are in danger, and they will be negligent in virtue, and those who can not be in peace and stability for a long time will also be negligent. Xuchang is in the east, and it is surrounded by all directions, and there is no geographical risk, and it is not enough to be the residence of the Son of Heaven......

"Gaozu of the former Han Dynasty Dingding Luoyang, Dulou respectfully invited the capital Chang'an, Gaozu asked Liuhou (Zhang Liang), Liuhou said: 'Luoyang fields are thin, and the enemy is on all sides, this is not a country of force. Fuguan in the left of the letter, the right of Longshu, fertile thousands of miles, the south of Bashu Rao, the north of Hu Yuan's benefit, blocking three sides and guarding, with one side of the east to control the princes. The princes are stable, the river Wei Cao is the world, and the west is given to the capital; The princes have changed, and they go down the river, which is enough to entrust and lose. This so-called golden city is thousands of miles, and the country of abundance is also. 'Now Your Majesty is from the Kanto, first Dingyan, Xu, Fupingwan, Luo, then the east is fine, the worries are in the west, but in the customs, to Liang, Yi, to serve Qianghu and control the Western Regions, is it also appropriate?

"The prosperity of Zhou is also in the pickaxe, and its decline is also in Luo; The prosperity of the Han Dynasty is also in Chang'an, Guangwu is in the east, and Qiang is chaotic. It is known that the west will be safe, and the east will be ruined. ”

However, after all, the Liang and Yierzhou of the old Han Dynasty have not yet been pacified, and Lu Bu does not care for the time being, Liu Bei parted ways from Hanzhong and can go straight to Chang'an, so the ministers all think that they are in danger, and they are not sure that they are all closed. In the end, Dazai Xunyu and others suggested that they should still be in Luoyang, which was echoed by the ministers and approved by the Son of Heaven.

The Ministry of Rites enjoyed the priest Lang Zhonggao Tang Long, saying that the Cao Wei regime was given the proverb of "when Tu Gao", and since the Han Chan let the country, the Han fire should give birth to Wei soil, and it should be the soil virtue. Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty saw the Yellow Star between Song and Chu, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had the Yellow Dragon present in Qian County, and the yellow color was the color of the earth, which was also a clear proof of the virtues of the soil. The Han Dynasty was afraid of being overturned by the water, so Luoyang was changed to Luoyang, and now I am born in the water and the soil is run, and there is no need to shy away from it, and the request is still changed back to the original name of Luoyang.

The Son of Heaven didn't believe much in these and didn't, but he just changed the name of the place - this year is not like the later generations, up to the national archives, down to the local signs, all have to be modified, the cost of changing the name is too high, at this time the emperor gave an order, said that the change will be changed, and it will not cost a few dollars - it will not harm the national economy and people's livelihood, so it will be played immediately.

It is the five capitals, with Luoyang as the Beijing division, Chang'an as Xijing, Anyi as Beijing, Xuchang as Nanjing, and Peiguo County, the former hometown of the Son of Heaven, as Tokyo.

Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, has a two-hundred-year foundation and a brilliant palace, but it was burned to the ground by Dong Zhuo. When Liu Xiedong returned, the history books recorded: "The palace was burned out, and hundreds of officials were covered with thorns, leaning against the walls." The prefectures and counties each have strong troops, but the committee can't lose, the bureaucrats are hungry, and Shang Shulang and the following go out to pick up the seeds, or starve to death between the walls...... "Ding Chong, the commander of the Sili school in the early years of Jian'an, and Yin Miao, Henan, were forced to move to Henan County in the west to work.

However, although the capital of Xuchang, theoretically it is only a temporary measure, if the Han family does not die, one day it will have to move back to the old capital, so it is to slowly repair the city of Luoyang. When Zhong Xuan succeeded him as the lieutenant of Sili and Xiahou was the Yin of Henan, he was finally able to leave the secluded Henan County and return to Luoyang. It was only for more than ten years, although the city was finished, the palace was not restored, until the Wei Dynasty Han decided to set the capital Luoyang, the Son of Heaven ordered the Ministry of Works Shangshu Du Qi to supervise the palace room. In the first month of the second year of Yankang, the Nangong was first completed, and the Son of Heaven began to lead hundreds of officials to move here from Anyi Tongquetai.

However, in the autumn of this year, when Chen Wei and others entered Luoyang City, the huge palace complex had not yet been completely completed, and the streets were inevitably dusty, and there was an endless stream of carts carrying goods. The escorting Fufeng officials first took them to the Hundred Counties Mansion in the west of the city—even if they were provincial and municipal offices in Beijing in later generations, they were not scattered, but were united into one—and they were registered and checked the number of people. Chen Yun and the others were handed over to the officials of the Fufeng County Governor in the capital.

The name of its residence is "100 counties", because according to the administrative division of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the first department of the school and the thirteenth department of the history of the assassination, under the jurisdiction of more than 100 counties, if you really want to give a set of courtyards in each county, you have to have more than 100 sets, and each county has more than 500 officials. Therefore, many sparsely populated or remote counties are often combined into one county, and each county has one or two officials. Fufeng counts the county, there is only a small courtyard, there are five officials, and nearly 100 people are stuffed in at once, and it is crowded just by standing.

Fortunately, the selection department had a plan, and rented more than a dozen houses and even a village courtyard inside and outside the West Gate in advance to accommodate the scholars who came to take the exam. That's why Chen Yun and the others took a turn in the Baijun Mansion, and they couldn't even drink saliva, so they were driven out of the city again and lived in a village. It is said that this is the Taiwei is Hongfu's other business, covering an area of more than 100 acres, with dozens of houses, in addition to the temporary canopy in the courtyard, enough to accommodate more than 300 people.

The scholars from the four counties of Yongzhou were all arranged to live here temporarily.

Hearing that it was Hongfu's other business, Chen Yun's anger surged into his heart again. However, he has no relatives and no reason in Luoyang, he has no refuge, and he is the address pre-arranged by the election department, so it is inconvenient to leave with his sleeves up. In shame, he simply took out a knife and engraved words on the beams to vent his anger: "Fu Feng Chen Xuan, wronged, temporarily under the eaves, will be repaid for a long time!" When the engraving was finished, the anger was almost gone, and then he sighed and took the initiative to remove the first four words......

Immediately, the head is overhanging, the cone is piercing, and the hard review is made, and if you succeed in this test, the long march of revenge will be regarded as the first step.

Ma Boyong healed the scars and forgot the pain, and planned to take his two companions to Luoyang City for a walk, but was rejected by Chen Wei and Ma Jun. Fortunately, after this period of trekking and getting along, he also got to know a lot of people from the same county, and there were always a few fun-loving people, who hit it off, went out for a stroll together, went out early and returned late every day, and almost couldn't think about it.

The examination date is set in October, because there are more than 2,800 candidates who come to take the examination from all over the world, and in addition to the imperial palace in the entire Luoyang City, it is estimated that there is no place to put so many big people at the same time, so the examination room is divided into four places - one is in Taixue in the east of the city, two is in the White Horse Temple in the west of the city, three is in the selection department, and four is in the Huangzhuang outside the north city. Chen Yun and them were assigned nearby and arranged in the White Horse Temple.

Candidates from each county are led by county officials, who check their identities one by one, and only after they are checked are they put into the temple. This year's monthly examination is much simpler than that of later generations, one is not for three consecutive days, candidates do not have to eat and sleep in the examination room, so they are only allowed to bring a bamboo tube or a leather bag of water, and are not allowed to bring other food; The second test is mostly a policy theory, and there are few things that need to be memorized, so I am not afraid that you will carry a cheat sheet, as long as you don't go too far—for example, put the "dictionary" directly on your body—the sergeant who copied and checked it will not be much trouble.

Similar to the previous preliminary examination in the county, the imperial examination is also divided into two sessions, the first of which is a simple scripture and meaning, which mainly tests whether you are familiar with the scriptures, whether the writing is smooth, and whether the handwriting is neat. Again, give three questions and choose one to answer.

As for the second scene, it was to check the professional subjects, and the circle of the same subject was in one place, and Ma Jun was forced to temporarily say goodbye to his two companions and take the public carriage to Huangzhuang outside the north city to take the exam. When you get the exam questions, this is basically the content in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"...... (To be continued......)
