Zhao Yu's feelings for Shen Xiu are complex and contradictory, just like his feelings about the family's high family.

Zhao Yu likes to read, not only in terms of cultivation, but also in other books about history, geography, society, and characters. Since the three generations, Middle Earth has experienced the Great Xia, the Great Yin, the Great Qin, the Great Shang and then the Great Zhou and the Great Jin. Familiar with history, he liked to think about why Great Xia was replaced by Great Yin, and why the Great Yin, which lasted the longest, finally declined and was finally dominated by Great Qin. He's a very smart guy, but he's still confused. The sages had their own views on these things, and they all seemed to make sense.

The Great Zhou was given by the Great Shang Chan, and the Great Jin was let by the Great Zhou Chan.

People all over the world say that this is what the three generations of antiquity should be. This world is the world of the people of the world, and the position of the Son of Heaven must be inhabited by virtuous people, not as a family like Daxia Dayin and Daqin Dashang.

Zhao Yu agrees with this point of view. He very much recognized that Da Jin would eventually replace Da Zhou. At that time, the two generations of the Huangfu family took turns to become the ruler of the Great Zhou, and the meritocracy was a move, whether the virtuous or the poor in the world, as long as they did have both ability and political integrity, the Huangfu family did not hesitate to take any position.

But when the Great Jin Dynasty successively pacified the Gongsun family and the Qian family in Jiangdong since the end of the Great Shang Dynasty, the world was unified, the barbarians bowed down, and there was nothing to do in the four seas. What should a cultivator from a poor family do at this time, and how should he come out?

He often thinks about these questions, Zhang Bu doesn't, many academy cultivators don't, they think about how to improve themselves, or make friends and have fun in time.

Zhang Bu also couldn't get used to the family Gaomen, but he didn't like the family because he thought that the family Gaomen occupied the position that should have belonged to him and robbed the opportunity that should have belonged to him. He hated not the unfairness itself, but the fact that he was in an unfair and vulnerable position.

Zhang Bu didn't understand Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu understood Zhang Bu.

Therefore, many times these facts make Zhao Yu, who likes to observe, even more confused.

Is it true that a cultivator from a poor family is better than a cultivator from a high family?

The colleges of Hongdu College are all recommended by various states and counties, and the sponsors are Zhongzheng of various states and counties. Almost without exception, the Zhongzheng of the states and counties of the Great Jin Dynasty are all from high-ranking families in various places. Zhao Yu is a native of Zhao County, and he was strongly recommended by Li Yiqiang, who was born in the Li family of Zhao County, and finally came to Shangluo to become a student of Hongdu Academy. Li Yi was very optimistic about his talent in talisman science, and Zhao Yu remembered that when he passed Li Yi's test, Li Yi looked at him with that kind of look, which was very excited.

"This son will be the pride of our Zhao Jun cultivators in the future!" Li Yi publicly praised in front of everyone at that time.

Not only that, but learning the talismans requires a lot of resources. Every year, Li Yi would send someone to Zhao Yu to send a considerable amount of various rune paper rune liquids and even various spirit stones and spirit sands, which always made Zhao Yu grateful.

The two sides have no relatives and no reason, and with the strength of the Li family in Zhaojun and the cultivation of Li Yi's own fourth-grade cultivators, there is no need to deliberately curry favor with such an obscure poor man as him. Even if he Zhao Yu wears vermilion and purple in the future, even if he becomes a first-class black-robed grandmaster, he will still not be enough to see in front of the Li family of Zhao County. As a wealthy family that has been inherited for thousands of years, the Li family of Zhaojun has produced countless third-grade and second-grade cultivators in history, and there have been many first-grade great masters.

He knew their dean Shen Xiu, and he admired his dean Shen Xiu from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't fully agree with Shen Xiu's political ideas.

The system of recommending talents in Dajin is called the Jiupin Zhongzheng system. Family background, personal cultivation, and personal quality are set in the upper, middle and lower three grades, so it is called the nine-product Zhongzheng system.

In Shen Xiu's view, personal cultivation and personal quality naturally need to be set at the top, middle and lower grades, but the family background should definitely be deleted! Not only that, but even the state and county zhongzheng also need to be reformed.

He and Shen Xiu are also teachers and friends, and many of Shen Xiu's ideas will only be talked about when facing him. He could feel Shen Xiu's expectations and importance for him. He agrees with Shen Xiu's opinion on deleting the family history, but he and Shen Xiu have different views on Zhongzheng's evaluation.

Shen Xiu believes that the judgment of individual cultivation should set strict and unified standards, and then everyone will take the exam in a unified manner. As it is now, just letting Zhongzheng judge is too subjective, and there are too many cats in it.

Zhao Yu and Shen Xiu have discussed many times, in his opinion, this unified examination standard is a big problem, and Shen Xiu can't give any standards to ensure that the selected talents are excellent and truly useful to the society.

Therefore, Zhao Yu has always been very conflicted and confused, although he is very smart and very good, but he still can't figure out many things.

"It's the Zhangbu swordsmanship you instructed, right?" Shen Xiu looked at Gao Ming, who followed Zhao Yu in, and didn't take the Zhu Guo in Gao Ming's hand, just let him put it on the table next to him first, and asked directly.

"Yes. Gao Ming knew that he couldn't hide from these profound fourth-grade cultivators, so he nodded without hesitation.

"Your name is Gao Ming, Si Li Shangluo people, both parents died, Da Jin Yonghe entered Hongdu Academy in five years to become a miscellaneous servant, am I right?"

Gao Ming continued to nod and replied, "What the Dean said is right. ”

"There was a big incident in Shangluo in the fourth year of Dajin Yonghe," Shen Xiu continued to say with interest, but this time he passed in the direction of Zhao Yu, "Zhao Yu, what did you say happened that year?"

"The fourth year of Yonghe," Zhao Yu said after a moment's thought, "On November 6 of the fourth year of Yonghe, the Shangluo arsenal suddenly caught fire, burning countless standard armor weapons, and the Great Jin arsenal was destroyed after years of accumulation. Emperor Wu was furious and ordered the execution of the Arsenal Order. ”

He pondered a little and continued: "But the name of that arsenal order is Diao Yong, and his surname is not Gao. ”

"Haha," Shen Xiu said, "Zhao Yu, you are really knowledgeable. Indeed, the arsenal order is not surnamed Gao, but the master of the arsenal order is surnamed Gao. Gao Ming, am I right?"

"The Dean is right. Gao Ming couldn't help but admire the memory of the two in front of him when he heard this, so many years have passed, so much has happened to Chen Sesame and rotten grain, these two can say it immediately without turning the book, the legend says that the two of them are not forgetful, it seems that what they said is true, "That master Bo is the father." ”

He is a traverser, he left an impression of his parents in this body, but he really has no feelings, and he never thinks about the cause of his parents' deaths, that is, this time Shen Xiu and Zhao Yu said it, and he remembered that there was such a thing.

"Didn't you ever suspect the cause of your parents' deaths?" Shen Xiu looked at him meaningfully and asked, "The only person who was beheaded by Emperor Wu's decree was Diao Yong, not Diao Yong's subordinates. ”

When Gao Ming heard this, he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart. He has traveled over so many years, and he originally occupied other people's bodies, where do he still remember so many details, as if he vaguely remembered that their family was killed at home. Now listening to Shen Xiu's words, I have watched so many film and television works in the original world, and I can't help but feel a sudden feeling in my heart, and I said: "Could it be that there is really some earth-shattering conspiracy involved? But no matter how shocking the conspiracy is, it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is a traverser, Lao Tzu is a guinea pig, Lao Tzu is here to travel." Old Shen, what a cheat are you. ”

I just thought so in my heart, but when I opened my mouth, I said respectfully: "Please also make it clear!"

A rather playful smile appeared at the corner of Shen Xiu's mouth, but he opened his mouth to ask Zhao Yu: "Zhao Yu, what are the major events in the four years of Great Jin Yonghe?"

"In the spring of the fourth year of Yonghe of the Great Jin Dynasty, Pang Wannian of Liangzhou led five barbarian rebellions. Zhao Yu immediately replied. The famous general Chen Ziyin was defeated and died in the process of counterinsurgency. ”

"That's right," Shen Xiu nodded, "I was in Chang'an at the time, and I was on an errand under the account of Emperor Fulun, the military king of Zhao Wang and Emperor Fulun of the two prefectures of Yongliang. Speaking of this, Shen Xiu's face showed deep memories, "The world says that Emperor Zhao Fulun is mediocre and incompetent, and there are so many elite soldiers and strong generals under his account, but he has repeatedly lost to the primitive equipment of Di Man, and he has also damaged the famous general's second-grade purple-clothed cultivator Wujun Chen Ziyin. This is the only purple-clothed cultivator who has been lost on the battlefield since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty. All of a sudden, the world was in an uproar. ”

Shen Xiu paused here when he said this, and then continued: "By the way, Chen Rong among the three heroes of Hongdu in our academy is Chen Ziyin's son. I once worked with Chen Ziyin, and this person's cultivation is very high, which is rare in the world. Although he is not a first-rank black-robed cultivator, with his cultivation, many first-rank grandmasters are not his opponents. In addition, he loves soldiers like a son and is proficient in battle formations, and before he was defeated and died, he was always a victorious general and never lost a battle. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's such a genius top cultivator who died in the obscurity of Liangzhou Diman. Zhao Yu, do you know the reason for this?"

Zhao Yu shook his head. He knew that Chen Ziyin was defeated and died, and the impact of this incident was an exaggeration to say that the world was shocked. However, he would never ask about it in front of Shen Xiu, for a very simple reason. The most widely circulated rumor in the Great Jin Dynasty is that Emperor Fulun of Zhao had a holiday with Chen Ziyin, so he deliberately sent Chen Ziyin's lone army to go deeper, and cut off Chen Ziyin's logistical supply, which finally made Chen Ziyin die with hatred.

Legend has it that Chen Ziyin has the cultivation of several top masters in the world, and it is not difficult to break through and escape, but he thinks that it was his and Huang Fulun's festival that caused three thousand subordinates to fall into a desperate situation with him. Either lead a large army to break through, or live and die together. Chen Ziyin did not choose to abandon his subordinates after all, and a generation of top masters died on the battlefield like this.

Shen Xiu is the confidant of Emperor Fulun of Zhao, which is a fact that almost everyone in the world knows. In this way, how dare Zhao Yu mention this matter in front of Shen Xiu!

Countless Great Jin cultivators have rumored that the mastermind who designed to kill the second-grade cultivator Chen Ziyin was none other than Shen Xiu, who was scheming on weekdays!

"Everyone said that it was me, Shen Xiu, who killed Chen Ziyin. Shen Xiu seemed to see through what Zhao Yu was thinking, and said this sentence with a sneer, as if his face was covered with a layer of frost, "Although no one dares to mention it to my face, it doesn't mean that I don't know what they say about me behind my back." Hmph, this is really a reversal of black and white, ridiculous!"

"Actually, I don't know that Chen Rong gritted his teeth every day, wanting to one day be able to kill me to avenge his father. Shen Xiu's voice was low, revealing deep helplessness, but suddenly his voice raised an octave, and his expression became excited, "But I, Shen Xiu, have a clear conscience! Chen Ziyin was framed and died, and I, Shen Xiu and His Royal Highness King Zhao, were wronged." ”

"Zhao Yu, let me ask you a question. What do you say is the level of the talisman?" Shen Xiu suddenly raised a question from Qi Feng.

"Although there are some unique things about the talismans," Zhao Yu is proficient in talisman science and knows these things well, "but the overall level is too much inferior to our Dajin." ”

"That's it. Shen Xiu said, "Do you know that the barbarians who besieged Chen Ziyin back then actually used a large number of talisman armor and weapons that only our leading army in the Great Jin Dynasty can have!"

"There is such a thing?!" As soon as Shen Xiu said this, Zhao Yu was immediately stunned on the spot. "That Yonghe four years on the fire in Luowuku?"

"Someone wants to hide this matter forever!" Shen Xiu said coldly, "Hmph, where is my Shen Xiu and His Royal Highness King Zhao who cover the sky with one hand!"
