"By the way, don't forget tonight's dinner, if you're afraid of being tired, you can take a nap at noon." Bai Tu reminded Lu Lingqi.

Tonight, Bai Tu will be in the palace of the king of Chu, banqueting the scholars of the gold and silver lists—I don't know who started, the first and second grades are called the gold and silver lists, and the third is the bronze list.

After Bai Tu found out, he didn't specifically correct it, but he usually started to call it that, but it was not an official name.

"Huh? Am I still on maternity leave? Lu Lingqi asked suspiciously, and sour plums at the same time.

"It's not that as the chief of the guard, sit next to me when the time comes, and will prepare juice for you, and you can't drink alcohol." Bai Tu emphasized.

"Present as Empress Chu?" Lu Lingqi responded, and at the same time instinctively mentioned it.

However, Bai Tu emphasized: "No, as my wife. As he spoke, his gaze moved to Lu Lingqi's already bulging lower abdomen.

That's right, the reason why the gold and silver banquet was made in this form was also caused by a little selfishness after Bai Tu became a father.

According to the current growth rate of the science and technology tree of the Chu State, sooner or later the social sciences and humanities will also adapt, and the nobility of the "King of Chu", which has not been specially emphasized in the first place, will be endlessly questioned.

After the real "civilization", no one can tolerate blood as the criterion of succession for the true lord of a country.

Bai Tu didn't worry about himself, but ...... From the day Bai Tu promoted industrialization, he never thought that the "King of Chu" would last for a long time.

Bai Tu never thought about whether to weaken the speed of industrialization or interfere with the development of social sciences in a targeted manner, so that the absolute monarchy could survive for a while.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and what Bai Tu has to do is to shake the pot and cut it as much as possible - my King of Chu only takes the people's chances for generations...... You really don't want it, you don't want it at all!

Coupled with the teachings of "Xiaobai" and the future "Xiaoxiaobai" in the future, and try to be "Buddhist" as much as possible, Baitu is still very sure that within two or three generations, it is better to smoothly slide into a virtual monarchy than to hold on to power and wait to be overthrown.

Bai Tu does not believe that his "wise and divine martial arts" can be passed down from generation to generation, and it is not practical to choose the right person from his limited descendants who are enough to lead a country.

Tonight is the future election of the gold and silver list, with the honor to accept the banquet of the king of Chu, a hundred years later, perhaps the "king of Chu" is fortunate to be able to rely on the shadow of his ancestors, and still retains the custom of banqueting the gold and silver list......

Lu Lingqi didn't think about this, but after thinking about it for a while, she reminded: "Then bring Xiahou Juan with you." ”

"Huh? Ah......" Bai Tu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't seem to react, Lu Lingqi would say that.

As a result, it is natural to reap the white of the eye.

……

"You are all the pillars of the future of the Chu State, I hope that no matter what kind of position you are in in the future, you can remember the test papers of Like, do not forget your original intention, and are determined not to change!"

Bai Tu was in the palace of the king of Chu, and there were twenty-one first-class crosses at the night banquet.

Seeing Bai Tu raise his glass, the twenty-one scholars in the front hall also followed suit......

At the same time, in the front courtyard of the Chu Palace, more than 100 seats were also placed one after another, and one hundred and sixty-six people from the second class were also drinking and feasting in the Chu Palace, but they had no chance to enter the front hall, after all, the area was limited.

However, before the banquet began, Bai Tu specially shook around the courtyard twice, and the source of the rainbow was all over the palace of the King of Chu.

As for the nearly 600 people in the top three, it was the Ministry of Rites who made the final reception.

In addition to the necessary guards, there are no other officials in the palace of the king of Chu, but the queen and princess are there, and there is also the righteous son of the king of Chu in Jingzhou in the "legend" - Deng Ai!

Lu Lingqi also specially used juice instead of wine before, while congratulating Deng Keshizi, she also "put herself in the shoes" to complain to everyone about the hard work of pregnancy, and told everyone to treat their wives well in the future, especially to marry and have children at the right age!

Although many of the scholars present were in their twenties, most of them were actually married, but only half of them had already given birth.

Bai Tu also mentioned to Lu Lingqi that the imperial court will prepare an official office to protect women's rights and interests in the future, and the queen will be named for generations, and now it is considered to fulfill the next obligation first.

For the first time, Xiahou Juan sat next to Bai Tu "blatantly" in front of everyone, looking very embarrassed, and Lu Lingqi looked anxious from the sidelines - if you don't know, you still think I bullied you......

And now Deng Ai doesn't look like a "stupid child", at most, he will take a deep breath before speaking, which makes people feel a little slow to react.

That's right, after Bai Tu and Hua Tuo's correction, Deng Ai's stuttering has been mostly healed, and Hua Tuo also recognized Bai Tu's guess, thinking that Deng Ai's stuttering was caused by the serious illness when he was a child.

Because I was only five or six years old, I had corrected it almost by relearning pronunciation......

There is still a little bit of "awkwardness" left, and it is also the most stubborn.

For the posture of the pure family banquet of the King of Chu, the scholars on the gold and silver list were really flattered.

And Bai Tu was still in the middle of the way, so he left the scene "acquaintance", after all, no matter how much he emphasized himself, as long as he was still there, these new scientists would not let go.

Only by replacing Sun Ce, Lu Su, and Gan Ning, friends who have a long-term tacit understanding with themselves, can they avoid vulgarity......

Taking advantage of Baitu's venue, these new scholars must also hope to be able to exchange feelings, instead of sitting carefully in front of the King of Chu all the time, especially those who were originally from a poor family and did not have a wide range of doors.

Deng Ai was also left at the banquet, and Deng Ai, who was like a little adult, began to communicate awkwardly but actively with these big brothers.

is completing the "learning task" given to him by Bai Tu - let everyone on the two lists remember themselves and ...... at the same time Don't be annoying!

During this period, Deng Ai's "miraculous" performance once again made people understand, what is "people don't believe enough" - this is called a stupid child? Is the bar so high?

It is worth mentioning that among the 166 people in the second class, there are two "big sisters......

That's right, from the very beginning, the imperial examination accepted women's registration, because it was fulfilling the eight policies of the Chu State, and no one dared to directly deny this.

Otherwise, they won't even recognize Ba Ce...... What else are you against? Is it good to raise troops directly?

The proportion of women on the list is also very high, with only ten people signing up in total, five second and five third grades, and theoretically none of them fell off the list.

After all...... The women who dared to sign up at this time all had two brushes, and almost all of them were from the Dashi clan, and they were actively preparing to memorize "Chu Law" and memorize Chu Xue from the beginning.

However, after the results were announced, the five members of the top three and three of the top two resigned.

At first, Bai Tu thought that the family did not agree, and wanted to find out which family women it was - but it turned out that this was not the case.

Since you can report your name, how can your family not know about it?

It's just that......

I heard that Lu Kang explained that after the female officials were hired, they would not be directly admitted to the Chu Palace, and most of them dispersed in disappointment.

Bai Tu also wants to know who made the rumor in the first place!

But I don't really care about it, there are at least two more, which is a good start......
