Chapter 0359 - Asking for a Thief

In the case of the Han monarchs and ministers uniting as one, and the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant personally sitting in the town, the Xiongnu mission, which thought that this trip would be full of harvest, unsurprisingly set out on the return journey just a few days after arriving in Chang'an.

Almost at the same time that the Xiongnu mission crossed Weishui and said goodbye to Chang'an, the first official promulgation of the world's thief document since the Han Dynasty also flew out of Changle Palace like a snowflake and flew to all parts of Guanzhong;

——Since the three kings and five emperors prospered in China, Gai only heard about the food of the monarch and was loyal to the monarch, and did not hear that the people who betrayed the lord were blessed by heaven;

Today, Liu Han has a thief, his name is called: Wei Man, he eats Hanlu and is not loyal to the king, he wears his hair on the left side of Huaxia, he wears Hu clothes and is a barbarian, he forgets his ancestors, and he falls into the name of China!

Since the thief crossed the water in the east, it was sheltered by the Jizi North Korea established after the Yin Shang, but still did not want to repay the favor, but in the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, he suddenly rose up when the Han country was mourned, raised troops and died in the country of Jizi Korea, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest, and he was the king of 'Wei Manchu Korea';

When I heard about this, I did not pay tribute to the young man of Yin Shang for a long time, and then Ji Zhun became the king of Han and Joseon, and sent an envoy to order Wei Manchu thief: return to Pyongyang, the capital of Jizi Korea, as the capital of North Korea, as the capital of North Korea, as the capital of the Korean monarch, and to survive intermittently, to protect the temple of Jizi Xu Yu.

Unexpectedly, the thieves first betrayed the Han and crossed eastward, and then raised troops to destroy Korea, and finally disregarded the defense of Huayi and the distinction of Yixia, and fell into the barbarian lackeys, please go for the northern barbarian Huns.

I have tasted and heard: the defense of Huayi is greater than the righteousness of the monarch and the minister;

Nai said: If there is a day, the loyal monarch is contrary to the body of the Chinese nobles, and the festival is not fully loyal to the monarch and the lord, then the right side of the festival will be observed, and the loyalty will be abandoned and the festival will be followed.

When I heard it, I thought it was true.

Today, the thieves live in Pyongyang, wearing their hair on the left, wearing bearded clothes and eating blood, and calling themselves 'Xiongnu vassals';

In the autumn of this year, the Northern Barbarian Xiongnu sent an envoy to intimidate, saying that if I let this thief return to Pyongyang again, he would use 400,000 Hu cavalry to go south, and the army would press the border and gallop across the Han border.

Alas, woe;

Oh, shame.

I squinted at the body, without the merit of the country and won the Baozong Temple, without the weak crown of the year and the pro-government of the dynasty, trembling, walking on thin ice, not daring to slack off for a day, lest I be immoral, damage the virtue of the ancestor Gao Emperor, speechless to face the ancestors;

Today, the barbarians deceived me when I was young, and I was scared by the elite Hu cavalry, and I was not sensitive, and I did not dare to violate the hair that I was bound and the right to open, and the will of Emperor Taizu Gao.

It is to carry out this inscription, so that all the people in the world will know my will: the thief will not be punished for a day, and I swear not to eat millet and drink from the spring!

Tell the world with this inscription: All thieves who betray the Han and surrender to Hu are not guilty of killing; When he saw it, he killed him, and he was rewarded with 100,000 yuan in money, 100 acres of land, and all the property of the thief; Hearing this, the first move, a reward of 3,000 dollars, and even more pro-edict to praise!

Today, there is a thief who is full of thieves and monkeys, stealing the country of the Korean monarch and becoming a barbarian, and I want to destroy it;

It is said that the county and county of the world: if there is a person who wants to defend the thief, he should ask the local county to select the captain of the county in the daily report of this inscription, and then set off as soon as possible, and go to Yandu Jiyi to standby;

In the spontaneous loyal ministers and righteous men, the local counties shall not be hindered, when each of them opens the treasury, in order to supply the cost of the trip, twenty dollars a day.

The state has traitors, I want to cut it down, there are countless loyal ministers and righteous people in the world, and the clouds rise and the scenery follows;

God bless my brilliant Han, eternal and immortal, and the people of peace and tranquility······

The text was issued, Chang'an was shocked, and the world was shocked!

The originally peaceful and peaceful Han family also spread out with this letter centered on Chang'an, and suddenly fell into a period of busyness.

——Since the death of Qin, the instrument called 'Military Cauldron Attention' has turned the gears again in the land of China.

It was also in this atmosphere of war in the eastern part of the country that the first examination of the Han family was quietly opened in the western suburbs of Chang'an City······

·

"Enter in the order of the wooden signs, and don't make noise!"

Outside the examination room, a team of forbidden army soldiers cleaned up the area within a radius of five miles, not to mention people, even birds and beasts, and they couldn't see a few.

And in this 'examination room', which was completely surrounded by the forbidden army's soldiers, thousands of scholars had already sat down on their knees, quietly waiting for the next link.

After a short while, dozens of officials dressed in court uniforms appeared, evenly dispersed into the examination room at a ratio of roughly one for every 100 candidates.

"Contemptible Li You, added as the Prime Minister's Household Supervisor Zuo Cheng Ling, and now he is your examiner!"

"This examination is on the orders of His Majesty to test your ability to be used as officials and officials;"

"You are already familiar with all the rules of the examination, so I won't go into details."

"I have to teach you to know: in this examination, from the time the exam questions are issued, you are not allowed to talk about it left and right, and you are not allowed to look around."

"The test time is two hours, when the time comes, the contemptible people should speak to you, and you should stop writing and sit quietly when you hear the time."

"During the examination, if you feel unwell, or if you have an unspeakable urgency, you can raise your hand silently, and you can come to the contemptible view to solve your difficulties."

With a firm expression, he repeated the rules of the examination again, and saw the examiner who called himself 'Li You' raised his head and looked around at the hundred candidates in front of him.

"But what are the doubts?"

After everyone shook their heads indifferently, Li Youcai finally turned sideways and trotted towards the high platform in the center of the examination room.

When all the examiners came to the high platform, the two figures sitting on the high platform also stood up politely to each other.

Then, the two of them came to the wooden box behind them, each took out the key in his arms, and opened the two copper locks on the wooden box.

As the two expected, the wooden box was not full of bamboo slips, but a box full of bamboo paper.

As for the exam questions, they are also located at the top of the stack.

"Wuhou?"

A slightly polite inquiry, but it provoked Yangcheng Yanhan to smile and wave his hand again and again.

"The Marquis of Beiping, don't be contemptible······"

"The contemptible person is only a military craftsman, but by the grace of His Majesty, he has to occupy the position of today's Jiuqing, and he is lucky to get Hou Qianyi's ······"

"And in this examination, the Hou of Beiping is the main exam, and the contemptible person is the deputy exam."

"This exam question should be taken by An Guohou, so it is more appropriate?"

Seeing that Yang Chengyan's words were sincere, without the slightest politeness, Zhang Cang was no longer polite, stretched out his hand with a light smile, and picked up the bamboo paper with exam questions written on it.

As Zhang Cang expected, the first three questions were the three arithmetic questions that Liu Ying took out when he summoned several ministers, including Zhang Cang.

- Chickens and rabbits in the same cage, Fangtian to seek accumulation, and farmers' 'after-tax income'.

But on the extra two sheets, there is an extra subjective question.

"In the past few years, I have seen the political malpractices in my hometown, and the methods to eliminate the malpractices·······"

"Try to describe the advantages and disadvantages of the court's desire to defend Manchurian Korea today··········"

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Cang couldn't help but turn his head sideways with a look of disbelief;

Seeing that Yang Chengyan also shook his head in confusion, Zhang Cangcai secretly sighed slightly.

After a while, Zhang Cang, who had come to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward and said the order of the questions on the test paper.

"There is a field, two hundred and thirty-five steps in length and width, ask how much this field is ·······"

"There is a cage, there are a number of chickens and rabbits, chickens and rabbits are five, and the feet are eighteen, and ask the chickens and rabbits how ······· they are."

"There is a farmer, a hundred acres of land, the farmer, his wife and the eldest son are all Fu, and the annual grain is three hundred and sixty stones, the tax is fifteen to one, the tax is one hundred and twenty yuan, and the grain and stone are sixty yuan; Ask this farmer how much ·········· the surplus grain and rice are taxed and taxed?"

With Zhang Cang's figure, the officials under the high platform also worked hard to write, and wrote these five test questions with a thick pen on a piece of wooden plaque that was more than two zhang tall and two zhang long.

After confirming that the exam questions on the wooden card were correct, Zhang Cang nodded, and let the examiners each take away a wooden board with the exam questions written on it, and the soldiers carried it to the examination room.

A moment later, shouts rang out one after another throughout the examination room.

"On the wooden board, there are five exam questions for you to answer!"

"If there is a person who is not clear, you can raise your hand to make it clear!"

Listening to the examiner's call sign, almost no one raised their hands to signal, only hurriedly dipped the tip of the pen in ink.

Just as everyone lowered their heads, but remembered that before the exam, the blank bamboo slips that came with them were 'confiscated' outside the examination room, and the bamboo paper used for answering was finally distributed to the candidates.

"This bamboo paper is made by His Majesty's special order of Shaofu, and the cost is high!"

"Your Majesty treats you with such courtesy, you must not let it down!"

With the exam questions and exam papers, a long horn sounded on the high platform in the center of the examination room, and the entire examination room fell into silence for two hours.

On the high platform in the center of the examination room, Zhang Cang smiled stiffly and bowed his hand to Yang Chengyan, and immediately sat back in his seat, sighing to himself.

As a 'prime of life' who is only in his sixties, Zhang Cang actually forgot to hand out paper before the examination, which is indeed somewhat undeserved.

But this is not because Zhang Cangzhen is 'old and faint' and has a bad memory.

It's the last two questions on the exam paper, which are inexplicably extraordinary, which makes Zhang Cang a little fugue·······

"The political malpractice of living in the hometown, and the method of eliminating the malpractice······"

"What's more, what makes the examinee talk about the pros and cons of the imperial crusade?"

With a gloomy face, Zhang Cang only shook his head sadly.

——Just from the two extra questions, Zhang Cang dared to pack a ticket: This examination is not to choose any 'young officials with a rank of 200 stones'!

What level is rank 200 stones?

Not to mention the Chang'an court, and the three princes and nine kings belong to the government, even if it is in the local county, it is the deputy of a certain department of the county government, or the subordinate of the county government.

Coupled with the condition of 'young officials', 200 stone is almost the department deputy of the designated county-level unit, or the lowest level of the Chang'an court, such as the assistant officials, literature and history, etc.

Such a person needs to see the policy shortcomings in his hometown and propose solutions?

Need to see the pros and cons of the country's foreign crusade?

Joke!

- Not to mention 200 stones, it is 2,000 stones, but those local county guards who are not in Chang'an may not be able to give qualified answers to these two questions!

Especially the latter question, in Zhang Cang's opinion, is clearly the standard for testing the countryman!

"Alas·······"

"Sure enough."

"Your Majesty is in the examination, and the expectations are very high·······"

"This examination, even if the people raised start from 200 stones, but in the future, I am afraid that they will not be the things in the pool·········"

Full of embarrassment and sighing, Zhang Cang sighed helplessly, simply closed his eyes like an appointment, and pretended to sleep in the center of the examination room.

What Zhang Cang didn't know was that at least for this examination, Liu Ying was far from having such lofty expectations as Zhang Cang thought.

——It's only a month before the exam, not to mention Kanto, I'm afraid that even in some remote areas of Guanzhong, there are many candidates who haven't had time to arrive, and haven't even received the news!

Moreover, from the fall of the Six Kingdoms of Qin, to the death of Qin II, to the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han, and the internal and external wars after the establishment of the Han Dynasty······

At least fifty years or so, there has been no peace without war for more than three consecutive years.

In addition, after the unification of the first emperor, most of the books in the world disappeared with one hand·······

To put it bluntly, if you are today, let alone a reader, except for the collection of books in the Shiqu Pavilion of Weiyang Palace, I am afraid that there are not many decent books and allusions at all.

If you don't even have a book, you can talk about the readers, as well as the talents and heroes who have enough knowledge to use in the officialdom.

Therefore, the two exam questions added by Liu Yinghou were indeed as Zhang Cang said, and they were not given to young officials at the level of 200 stones.

To be precise, Liu Ying didn't expect someone to give satisfactory answers to these two questions in this examination.

- There is nothing wrong with asking candidates what is wrong with their hometowns, but it is not very realistic to ask these people to give solutions.

As for the latter question, it is a question at the national strategic level, and it is by no means a hairy boy in his twenties or thirties who can say one, two, three, or four.

But even so, these two questions were still added by Liu Ying.

As for the reason, it's also very simple: precedent.

For the future, it will become the main means of selecting officials in the Han family, and this examination is the 'precedent' for every examination in the future.

With this precedent, in the future examinations, Liu Ying can add similar subjective questions without any worries, and at the same time not cause too much public opinion.

Of course, if there is any unexpected gain in this examination, it would be great if someone could give Liu Ying a satisfactory answer to these two questions.

Outside Chang'an City, Zhang Cang and Yang Chengyan stared at the examination room;

In Chang'an City, in Weiyang Palace, the attention of Liu Ying, the son of heaven, had already flown thousands of miles away.

——On this day, the news that the Han family wanted to use things for Wei Manchu Korea finally arrived at the Yalu River.

Upon hearing this news, the entire city of Pyongyang fell into an incomprehensible panic and an intriguing silence.

As for the Han family's unprecedentedly tough attitude and unexpectedly fast action, Wei Man was suddenly distracted, not knowing what to do·······
