876 Listen to my orders and get on the horse!
Liu Bei saw the excitement in their hearts, so he thought of an interesting way to make these young people look beautiful.
"It's such a good time, don't you want to wear it out for the big guys to see, show off?"
Liu Bei laughed: "Young man, when you are proud, you should be fresh and angry, wanton and high-spirited, and express the youthful vigor and madness, so that you can live up to the head of the young man, go!" Go and change your clothes, and I'll lead you with you! ”
Liu Bei waved his hand, and the three young people who didn't react were introduced into the side hall by the eunuchs and asked them to change their clothes.
And outside, Liu Bei was not idle.
"The remaining seven of the top ten are out of the ranks! Come to me! ”
With a shout, the other seven people in the top ten of the imperial examination came out one after another, trotted all the way to Liu Bei, nervously waiting for Liu Bei's lecture.
Fourth place Pang Tong.
Fifth place: Sima Yi.
Sixth place: Xu Fu.
Seventh place: Lu Su.
Eighth place: Cui Jun.
Ninth place: Shi Tao.
10th place: Wen Hui.
These ten people are still the top ten in the selection examination, but their rankings are different from each other, which also shows that the talents of these ten people really exist, and their abilities are the ability of the eight classics, not mixed with water.
As for the superiority between each other, except for Zhuge Liang, who is the first place that cannot be beaten, everything else remains to be discussed.
For their gang, it's really hard to decide everything in one exam.
"But you can ride a horse?"
Liu Bei looked at the seven young people with a smile.
The seven looked at each other and quickly nodded, indicating that they could ride horses.
Liu Bei nodded.
"Hey, that's right, man's husband, if you can only take exams and not ride horses, it will be a shame, and you are all from good backgrounds, if you can't ride horses, it will be a little unreasonable! Although you are referring to administrative officials, as a man, as an official of the Han Dynasty, I feel ashamed that I can't ride a horse or shoot arrows!
In the past, a Confucian minister once questioned Emperor Gaozu, saying that if he immediately conquered the world, could he rule the world immediately? Gao Zu thinks he has a point, but I'm going to say it's! Fight the world immediately, and of course you can rule the world immediately! In other words, those who rule the world must always be on a horse and cannot get off the horse! Once you get off the horse, the world will be taken away by other people on horseback!
Therefore, all the officials of the Great Han Kingdom, or ambitious men, as long as they have the conditions, should learn to ride horses and shoot arrows, regardless of what they do, even if they are just an administrator, just a small official, they must also have the courage to ride a horse and open a bow! Confucius still emphasized the six arts of a gentleman, let alone today? ”
The seven people who were reprimanded stood straight, their bodies were tense, looking at Liu Bei, not daring to move, not daring to say a word.
Then, Liu Bei gave an order, and seven horses were led in front of them, and seven eunuchs also came to them with seven plates.
Liu Bei stepped forward and uncovered the red cloth on one of the plates.
It was two brocades.
"This is two Shu brocade, not so high-end, so valuable for the top three, but it is not an ordinary object, I did not help them make dresses, the top three are the top three after all, there must be some special treatment, otherwise it can not motivate students to work hard.
However, as the top ten, you are also very good students, so I will give you these two Shu brocades, according to the current market price, these two Shu brocades can be exchanged for the same weight of gold, you can use as you like, this is your freedom.
In addition, there is this horse, the horses are all good horses bred in the Xilong Right Military Horse Farm, it is a military horse level, I will give these horses to you, together with Shu Jin, as a congratulatory gift for your success in the scientific examination, congratulations on your success in the top ten in the scientific examination. ”
Sending Shu brocade and sending military horses is equivalent to sending millions of cash, plus a million cars.
These outstanding students are from very good backgrounds, and their families are not short of money, but for them personally, they may not be able to get so much money.
Moreover, the emperor personally sent money and cars, which was not only valuable, but also of extraordinary significance.
Just like the three unique dresses on Zhuge Liang's three people, they are definitely not bought with money, no amount of money can buy them, take them out to show others, the face is full, and the halo is full of envy and jealousy.
That refreshing feeling is really something I will never forget for a lifetime.
Liu Bei's arrogance was indeed beyond the imagination of many people, and some candidates who were standing close to the back saw that they were red-faced and red-eared, and their tongues were dry.
Therefore, there is nothing more to say, just serve the Son of Heaven.
The fourth Pang Tong bowed down directly and shouted long live, saying that he would do his best for the Son of Heaven and his liver and brains, and he would not hesitate to do so.
The rest of the students hurriedly bowed down with them, for fear that they would fall behind the others, and the one who showed their loyalty was called a simple and thorough.
Liu Bei smiled and helped them up one by one, and then pointed to the horses.
"All on board!"
"Yui!"
The seven of them excitedly got on their horses, waiting for Liu Bei's further orders.
Soon, Zhuge Liang and the other three walked out of the side hall in gorgeous dresses and came to Liu Bei.
"This so-called person relies on clothes, what he said is true, he was originally a young man, and now he wears this dress, he is like a person in the sky, hahahahaha, quite the style of my youth!"
Liu Bei stepped forward and shook Zhuge Liang's hand, and Tian shamelessly pulled Zhuge Liang's appearance to the point that he was on the same level as himself.
Should I say it or not, in terms of general rationality, Liu Bei is definitely not a beautiful man, his appearance is not low, but it is not to the point of stunning scholars, otherwise the first beautiful man recognized by the people of Luoyang back then would not be Yuan Shao, but he Liu Xuande.
And Zhuge Liang is a pure handsome, the level of a beautiful man, and he is also very tall and has a very good figure, even if he doesn't have such amazing ability, he is also a little white-faced and soft rice man who can eat with his face, and if he exercises his body, he definitely has the potential to be a little wolf dog.
Liu Bei pulled Zhuge Liang's appearance to the same level as himself, which is really a bit shameless, if he has to say it, Liu Bei feels that Zhuge Liang's appearance can be compared with Yuan Shao when he was young.
However, over the years, Liu Bei's face has indeed become thicker and thicker, and he was able to admit that his beauty was not as good as Yuan Shao's, but now, he doesn't think so.
Compared with Zhuge Liang's Fengshen handsomeness, Lu Yi and Liu Ba's appearance is slightly inferior, but Liu Ba and Lu Yi each have a self-confidence in their hearts, and their temperament is extraordinary.
The three of them were so high-spirited that the other seven people on the horses and the others present were also amazed and envious.
While speaking, Liu Bei sent three more horses to the three of them.
Compared with the military horses given to the other seven people, these three horses are even more powerful, at first glance they are the type that is worth thousands of gold and have no price, and there is even a horse with a pale golden coat, which makes everyone dazzle.
Liu Bei first presented the other two white horses to Lu Yi and Liu Ba.
"These are the thousands of horses in the Longyou Military Horse Farm, the fur is snow-white, and even the most experienced horsemen are rarely seen, belonging to the level of price and no market, I will give you two of you, congratulations on the good results you have achieved in the imperial examination, and I hope that you two will guard against arrogance and rashness, steadily improve yourself, and contribute to the Han Dynasty."
Lu Yi and Liu Ba were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, stretched out their trembling hands to take the reins of the horse from Liu Bei's hand, and looked at the white horse in front of them, in a trance.
In the end, only Zhuge Liang remained.
Liu Bei led the pale golden-furred horse to Zhuge Liang and handed the reins to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang reached out and took the reins of the horse a little mechanically, looking at the horse, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Kong Ming, do you know what kind of horse this is?"
"I don't know ......"
"It's a bloody BMW."
"Sweat and Blood ......"
Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked.
The rest of the people were also shocked.
In fact, some people who have studied horses a little bit have faintly seen the identity of this divine horse just now, but most people have no research on horses, and they don't know much about the types of horses, just looking at the pale golden fur, they can feel the extraordinaryness of this horse.
Liu Bei stroked the fur of this sweaty BMW, and said with a smile: "Before the army conquered the Western Regions, defeated the disobedient Dawan Kingdom, occupied the entire territory of Dawan Kingdom, and naturally obtained all the sweat and blood BMWs.
This horse is one of the five best horses selected by Zhang Fei, the general of Zhengxi, from all the sweat and blood horses, and he sent someone to send these five sweat and blood horses to me, one is red, one is silver and white, two black, and the remaining one is this light gold, and the remaining four are still here with me, and this one, I will give it to you. ”
Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang's hand and asked Zhuge Liang to follow his own example and stroke the neck of the light golden horse.
Zhuge Liang mechanically stroked it a few times, immediately reacted, and immediately bowed down.
"Your Majesty's grace, it is already a blessing for the minister to get this Shu brocade dress, how can you get such a divine horse? His Majesty is grateful to the minister, but the minister never dares to accept such a divine horse! Please also take it back! ”
Liu Bei just smiled and bent down to help Zhuge Liang.
"Although the horse is good, it is just a horse, running fast, running far, it is the ultimate, but the talent is different, the talent is rare to get an excellent talent, can govern the people of thousands of miles, share worries for me, with a horse of thousands of miles, in exchange for a thousand miles of talent to serve me, the ancient sages will definitely do this, and I will definitely do this."
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei's gentle face, his eyes widened, his face turned red, and he completely lost his calmness.
"Your Majesty...... Minister......"
"You can afford it."
Liu Bei patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder, smiled, and looked at the rest of the people.
"You can all afford it, don't think you can't stand it, there are thousands of miles in the world, and thousands of miles of talents are not often available, with thousands of miles of horses with thousands of miles of good talents, the more such things, the more prosperous the country will be, you are the best talents in the 300,000 people, you are not worthy, who else is worthy?
It is true that you are still young, still immature, have no good experience, and are still a piece of jade, unpolished, and unable to undertake great things, but I believe that with your diligence and hard work, coupled with your smart brains, it is only a matter of time before you become a talent, and you will eventually become a talent, and you will eventually become the pillar of the great man. ”
Liu Bei walked to the front of the queue of candidates and looked at the selected candidates who were black except for the top ten.
"I will eventually grow old, I will die one day, and now those high-ranking officials and dignitaries who are surprised to hold power will also grow old and die, but the Great Han Kingdom still exists, and the Great Han Kingdom cannot live without, how can we make the Great Han Kingdom still exist after we are all old and dead?
The answer is you, it is you young people, you are the future of the Great Han Kingdom, the hope of the Great Han Kingdom, I am the sunset that is gradually moving towards the end, and you are the newborn rising sun, shining brightly, containing infinite hope, the future of the Great Han Kingdom is decided by you, not by me.
Therefore, I hope that when you leave here and go to work, remember this day, remember what I said to you, no matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter, you must have the heart to not be afraid of the challenges of hardships and dangers, and do not be afraid in the face of jackals, tigers and leopards, and do not grovel in the face of power, but do the right thing.
In the past, the Great Han Kingdom had experienced the darkest moments, the four seas were turbulent, the wars and disasters were connected, the people were not able to make a living, and it was completely a scene of the end of the world, and the reason for all this was nothing more than that there were too few brave people, too many jackals, tigers and leopards, and too many people gave in in order to survive in order to survive, thinking that they could exchange for glory and wealth.
But ah, under the nest, how many eggs are there? Those who generously go to the dead for the sake of the country's righteousness will eventually be remembered, and if there is a little bit of good luck, then the person who reshapes the mountains and rivers will be such a person after all, not a person who survives.
Insisting on doing the right thing comes at a price, I never deny this, I have paid a lot of price for doing the right thing along the way, but I have carried it one by one, this road is very difficult, it takes a lot of pay, you need to grit your teeth and persevere, and you may be misunderstood and not understood.
But I still want to say, don't take evil as small, don't take good as small, you have to keep it in mind, you have to remember that no matter how small the evil thing is, it will also make the Great Han Kingdom go to decline, no matter how small the good deeds, it will also make the Great Han Kingdom prosperous, so, gentlemen, but do good deeds, don't ask about the future, I will always watch you. ”
After a speech, Liu Bei didn't know how much he could remember what he said by these candidates, or how many people could hear it in their hearts, and how many people could really do it.
None of this matters, if you do it, it is better than not doing it well, if you do it, there will always be awakened people, and there will always be people who stick to this will and do the right thing to make the Han Empire better, not worse.
Even if such people are eliminated while advancing, their existence is by no means meaningless.
His task is to protect the existence of these people in their lifetime, to make them shine and heat.
As for what happens after death......
As the saying goes.
But do good deeds, don't ask about the future.
The human world can never be dominated by a person's personal will, but the extent to which a person's personal will can affect the world can be considered.
If you can't be a superman who changes the world, then you can be a brave man who won't be changed by the world.
If you can't be a brave man, then when you see the brave and superman, you can silently cheer for them and cheer them on, and don't go along with those who are self-defeating and slanderous.
Among these 3,000 people, there can be a superman like Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei already feels lucky.
And if more people can become brave people who stick to their hearts, then the Third Reich of the Han Dynasty will be able to hold out for 500 years.
If more people were able to avoid being in the same league as those who were self-defeating, then it would not be a problem for the Third Reich to last for a thousand years.
Zhuge Liang was in a trance, and did not think carefully about the meaning of Liu Bei's words, because Liu Bei quickly laughed.
"It's not interesting to always say some big truths, the top ten in the imperial examination, listen to my orders! Launched! ”
