Chapter 704: Celebrities

"Great goodness!" Yang Zheng also laughed.

Yang Yi gave the old Yang family too much face in the Western Regions.

The three kingdoms of Qiuzi, Kangju, and Dawan have not yet sent troops, but Yang Yi led 1,500 Longxiang battalions and 5,000 elite Qiang cavalry to attack Kangju and take advantage of the wind and snow to attack Kangju's country, plunder its tribes, and burn its cities.

Kang Ju raised an army of 20,000 to respond to the battle in a hurry, and Yang Yi made a decisive attack, broke the enemy army in the medicine killing water, beheaded 1,500 people, captured 2,000 prisoners, and returned with 700 healthy horses.

Kangju was defeated, and Dawan did not dare to move.

Qiuzi wanted to call the Xia Kingdom empty and lead troops to attack, but he was entangled by Yin Chun and returned in vain.

The Western Regions turned the corner from danger to safety.

"King Xia is brave, quite similar to His Majesty back then." Wei Qian said intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, Yang Zheng can put forward that there is something in his words.

With victories again and again, Yang Yi's prestige and strength in the country have soared.

There are more and more Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qianghu who lean towards him, after all, Qianghu has always worshiped the strong.

"Wei Wu has a yellow beard, so I can't have a brave son?" Yang Zheng didn't think how powerful his son was, but the countries of the Western Regions were too stretched, and the rookies pecked each other.

Yang Yi is placed in Middle-earth, and it is estimated that Pang will be at the level.

There are also a group of friends around to give advice, and it is almost enough to deal with the Western Regions.

Wei Qian also smiled slightly, "What Your Majesty said is very true. ”

Among the sons, Yang Yi is the strongest, but only now, once the Great Qin goes east and takes the Central Plains, the number of Han people under his command increases, and a mere Xia country is by no means comparable to Middle Earth.

From another point of view, born in sorrow, died in peace.

If you enter, you will not be able to go home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will die.

There is no external threat, and after dominating the world, Great Qin will definitely rot on its own.

Zhuge Wuhou controlled the sky, and Cao Rong began to let himself go.

After Sima Yan dominated the world, he began to look forward to luck......

Besides, if Yang Yi wants to roll in, it is not enough to rely on the twenty or thirty thousand Qiang cavalry soldiers in his hands, he must first integrate the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and then sweep the east and west of the Green Mountains.

This is not something that can be done in the short term.

Even so, it may not be a complete opponent of the Central Plains Empire.

Take a step back, even if Yang Xu can't beat Yang Yi, but the difficulty of holding Middle-earth can't be beaten, right?

Emperor Li Er was able to succeed because his strength and prestige not only surpassed Li Jiancheng, but even Li Yuan was inferior.

Zhu Di was able to succeed because of the good nephew of Emperor Jianwen.

And now that Yang Zheng is in the prime of life, Yang Yi may not dare to have the heart to win the heir.

If you have that energy, it is better to continue to expand westward, and the rich river area and the two river basins are right in front of you.

Middle-earth, on the other hand, has to cross the desert steppe, and the future is uncertain.

This is also the reason why Yang Zheng sealed him out.

Of course, the situation in the Hanaka region is somewhat complicated now.

The Sassanid Empire rose to prominence forty years ago, annexing the Sabbatical Empire, defeating the Kushan Empire, sweeping across the Mediterranean, and casting a greedy eye on the Transoxiana.

In the northern grasslands of the Xia Kingdom, the power of the Xianbei people has not completely disappeared.

Yang Yi has many opponents, and he is by no means able to lead a large army to the east simply by himself.

Wei Zheng just clicked to the end, but Yang Zheng had already thought far ahead.

Both of them ended the topic very tacitly.

After chatting for a while, Lu Zhi sent the exam papers for this year's Spring Festival.

The number of scholars in Chang'an has doubled compared to previous years.

As a result, Chang'an is even more crowded.

The streets are full of scholars from the Central Plains and Jiangdong, as well as merchants from the south to the north.

The price of the inn skyrocketed, costing two or three hundred and five baht a night.

In horizontal comparison, a cow is only 1,000 yuan, and a high-quality horse is 7,000 yuan.

The people have a good meal, and it is only a dozen yuan.

Fortunately, Chang'an is full of bookstores, you can live for a penny a day, and there are all kinds of books to read at will, and the government also provides straw mats, bedding, etc., and the scholars can't freeze.

Last year's harvest was good, and this year's year is also good, the price of grain is not high, and the price of meat is not high.

A big bowl of mutton soup for seven cents, and a penny for a piece of bread.

I really have no money, and I rely on it in the library, not only will the government not pursue it, but a few free wheat cakes a day can still be provided.

After the Spring Festival, many scholars from the Hanmen Shu clan stayed in Chang'an, copying and writing for the official bookstore, and their lives were not bad.

"There are quite a lot of talents in this year's palace examination, and the scholars of Jiangdong in the Central Plains are not as resistant to Daqin as in the past." Lu Zhi smiled.

"That's very good." Yang Zheng was also happy.

Compared with the Nine-Rank Official Law, the imperial examination system is of course an improvement.

In the Cao Pi era, the talents selected by the Jiupin Official Law were quite genuine.

But now, it has long been a high-grade family, and a low-grade family.

Deng Ai's subordinate general Duan Zhuo once said bluntly in front of Sima Yan: "The election of the Taiwan Pavilion is in vain." Nine products visit people, only ask Zhongzheng. Therefore, according to the high-grade people, the descendants of the non-Gong and Hou are also the Kundi of the time...... There is no one who sinks on land! ”

If the Hanmen Shu clan with real talent and real learning don't run to the Qin State, will they go to Jiangdong?

It has been the case throughout the ages, as long as the upward channel is dredged, there is no fear that no one will come to eat this mouthful.

However, it is not so simple to be a celebrity in Daqin.

Talent and conduct are the first hurdles, music, danqing, calligraphy, poetry and songs, etc. are just pluses, the most important thing is that you can cut people on the horse, and you can govern the people when you get off the horse.

In the Qin Kingdom, it is definitely not possible to do without martial virtue.

War horses, bows, crossbows, swords, shields, and spears must be played well.

Yang Zheng personally set the criterion of "advocating martial arts and advocating literature, having both talent and morality" as the criterion.

It is by no means the kind of "celebrity" in the Central Plains who can take drugs and talk.

Many scholars lingered in Chang'an, waiting for the results of Yang Zheng's palace examination.

"This man is quite insightful." After some review, Lu Zhi took out one from the test paper and handed it to Yang Zheng.

In order to avoid fraud, the method of transcribing the paper is adopted, and no one knows who the candidate is.

Yang Zheng took a closer look, the core idea is that the head of governing the country is in the officials, the level of officials is not good, no matter how good the policy of the imperial court is, they will be made into a law that harms the people and disturbs the people.

These things are not new in the later generations, but they are relatively standard now.

Other people's articles are well written, but they don't have anything eye-catching, and the level is much worse than this one.

"This year he will be the champion." Yang Zheng put down the test paper and tore open the name, an unfamiliar name - Leguang.

The champion is not necessarily a celebrity, and a celebrity is not necessarily a champion, which needs to be investigated.

Lu Zhi glanced at it and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the son of an old man." ”

"Uncle knows this person?" surnamed Le, and an old man, Yang Zheng thought it was Lejin.

"His father, Le Fang, once joined the army for Xiahou Tai's first expedition to the west, Le Fang died early, Le Guang was poor since childhood, lived in Shanyang, and was famous for his talents, but he was not used by the Sima family because his family background was not obvious."

"I see!" The old department of the Xiahou family is almost the old department of Yang Zheng, no wonder they came all the way from Middle Earth.

The next day, he summoned Le Guang, who was not young, nearly forty years old, with a cold and sad face, but he did not hide his dignified appearance.

The literary style is not weak, the martial arts are acceptable, and he is especially good at bows and arrows.

Yang Zheng listened to his own narration and realized that he was the protagonist of the cup bow snake shadow.

However, even if he is the champion, he has to start from scratch in Daqin, and Yang Zheng promoted him to Poyan Ling.

With his talent, a county order must be a talent, but there is no slightest wave in his eyes, and he is not sad or happy.

Wei Qian sighed: "This person's water mirror, see it clearly, if you see the blue sky through the clouds and mist, you can be a celebrity." ”

Lu Zhi also nodded: "Back then, Xiahou Du Governor saw Le Guang and called him a celebrity, and he should be a celebrity. ”

Both of them agreed, and Yang Zheng didn't find anything wrong, so with a big stroke of the pen, the first celebrity of Daqin jumped out.

In the second year of Huangwu, Daqin only gave birth to one celebrity.

Others are either not good at martial arts, or their conduct is a little worse.

In addition to the restrictions on the surface, in fact, Baume & Mercier also has an "unspoken rule", long crooked melons and cracked dates, and poor temperament are definitely not good.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, they have paid more attention to appearance.

This is especially true of the Wei and Jin dynasties, where most of the beautiful men in history came from this era.

Zhuge Wuhou, Zhou Yu, Sima Shi, Xiahou Xuan, He Yan, Ji Kang, etc., were all famous for a while, as well as Pan An, Wei Jue and others.

The fever has subsided, the head is a little dizzy, and it will resume normal updates tomorrow, thank you for your concern, I feel warm
