Liu Bei gave an order, and the top ten candidates involuntarily turned over and got on their horses, as if their bodies had obeyed Liu Bei's orders before their brains.

Then, Guo Jia brought Liu Bei's favorite sweaty BMW Little Silver Dragon, Liu Bei stroked the hair of the little Silver Dragon, and then turned over and shouted loudly: "Follow me, gallop on the horse!" Drive! ”

Liu Bei took the first step to urge the horses, and the little silver dragon neighed, spread its hooves and began to gallop quickly.

Among the top ten in the scientific examination, the first to react was Zhuge Liang.

His equestrian skills are not excellent, but the light golden horse that Liu Bei gave him is well-trained, and when he moves slightly, the light golden horse begins to gallop, and soon Zhuge Liang finds the rhythm and pleasure of galloping.

He quickly followed Liu Bei's war horse.

The other nine people also urged the horses under their crotches to keep up with Liu Bei, and followed Liu Bei around the main hall of the palace all the way to gallop wildly, and their eleven people and eleven horses were between this piece of heaven and earth, and under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, they galloped around the main hall of the palace round and round, round and round.

Zhuge Liang didn't know how he kept up with Liu Bei, but he just felt happy, he felt unprecedented happiness while galloping, and Liu Bei's galloping image in front of him was also deeply engraved in his mind.

It was a day he felt he would never forget.

They galloped happily and shouted, Liu Bei led them to shout, encouraged them to shout, let them shout loudly, and don't suppress themselves.

It wasn't until they were exhausted that Liu Bei stopped with them.

Glory.

Follow the emperor in the palace and gallop on horseback, under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, enjoy this wanton and high-spirited moment.

What a glory?

Then, Liu Bei instructed the palace people to bring the candidates to the banquet hall to sit down, and Liu Bei himself took the top ten to the palace bathhouse, bathed and changed clothes with them, changed the sweaty underwear, changed into clean ones, and then went to the dinner.

Liu Bei himself likes to take a bath very much, among the many palace facilities left by Liu Hong, Liu Bei dismantled and abandoned a lot, only the big bathhouse he left, basically every two days to take a bath, in the hot water to soothe the body and mind.

This had great benefits for relieving fatigue and also improved his work efficiency, so not only did he not dismantle it, but he also expanded the large bathhouse.

When the top ten learned that they were going to bathe with the emperor and meet each other frankly, it was a panic, but Liu Bei himself didn't mind, and he didn't let them mind, and forcibly took them into his private bathhouse.

Bathing with the emperor is a beautiful thing!

Rinse the body first, wash off the oil stains with the primary soap - fragrant pancreas developed by the Gongqiao Research Institute, and after the body is washed clean, Liu Bei led them into his favorite bath and took a comfortable bath.

When Liu Hong built here, it is estimated that he took into account the needs of some individuals, so the bath was built very spacious, as far as Liu Bei is concerned, it is not a problem to accommodate more than a dozen people, and it is completely enough as a private pool of a certain scale, I don't know if Liu Hong used it when he used it here, it was with more than a dozen palace maids.

But it doesn't matter, put aside these boring fantasies, calmly make a comparison, and take a bath with a woman, there is only one thing you can do, but there are too many things you can do when you take a bath with a man.

So, isn't it fun to take a bath with ten men?

It's just that Liu Bei feels happy, but these ten people may not.

Taking a bath with the emperor is, after all, a bit restrained.

Liu Bei saw that no one was talking, and one or two young men were sitting firmly in the bath, looking like they wanted to shout out comfortably but didn't dare, as if they didn't speak, and they wouldn't think about taking the initiative to speak, so they took the initiative to open the conversation.

"Are you all married?"

The emperor took the initiative to ask, and everyone naturally answered everything.

Among the ten people, only Zhuge Liang, Lu Yi and Xu Fu are not married, and the others are already married, naturally, everyone has no children.

Liu Bei nodded, called the three of them to his side, and asked them to sit down around him.

"Getting married is naturally a big deal, but if there is no suitable one, you can't get married for the sake of getting married, the family and everything is prosperous, and there is a suitable wife at home to take care of the housework, and you can be an official outside the home much easier.

However, if the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious, your work will also be affected, so when choosing a wife, you should also consider it yourself, and don't completely ignore your own thoughts, and live your own life in the end. ”

The emperor's words are naturally a bit counter-commonsense, a group of young people, you look at me, I look at you, obviously I didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing.

"Why, do you think it's surprising that I said that?"

Liu Bei leaned in the pool and said slowly: "The order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker are important, but I think that if you really don't like the marriage partner chosen by your parents, as a man who already has an official body, your parents will consider your opinions."

I don't object to this way of choosing a mate, but I think you must always choose one that you can accept and not dislike, otherwise the relationship between husband and wife will be discordant, and you will be the one who suffers. ”

Liu Bei spoke, and for a while, the atmosphere in the bathhouse was a little dull.

Less leaning, Sima Yi suddenly mustered up the courage to ask Liu Bei.

"Your Majesty, do you really think so?"

Liu Bei looked at Sima Yi and nodded.

"I won't tell you the truth, my marriage to the queen has some political implications in this regard, but I should be considered lucky, although I have never known the queen before, but the queen is virtuous and virtuous, and she thinks about me everywhere after marriage.

Because of my job transfer and busy official duties, we get together less and leave more, I can't be by her side all the year round, and even rely on her a lot for raising children and serving my mother, I am very grateful, I feel very sorry for her.

We're lucky to be able to think of each other, so I'm not averse to such marriages, but you ...... Let's not talk about those who are married, those who are not married, Kong Ming, Bo Yan, and Yuan Zhi, you can think about it more. ”

After Zhuge Liang, Lu Yi and Xu Fu heard this, they all lowered their heads and pondered.

After hearing this, Sima Yi lowered his head a little lonely.

Liu Bei looked at Sima Yi's face and smiled.

"Zhongda, what's wrong with you? Are you not satisfied with your current marriage? ”

Sima Yi was stunned and shook his head again and again.

"No, no, not dissatisfied, just ...... Just ......"

Lu Yi looked at Sima Yi with a helpless look, sighed, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, although Zhongda is married, his wife is ten years younger than him, and this year, she is only twelve. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Chunhua is twelve this year?

No, the ancients generally liked to use imaginary years instead of years old when talking about age, that is, ...... Only eleven years old? Still a schoolboy?

Liu Bei's eyes changed a little when he looked at Sima Yi.

The eyes of the other people looking at Sima Yi were also a little different.

Sima Yi was embarrassed and quickly explained.

"No, no, no, this ...... This is the order of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, my father and her father have already made an agreement, and her father was seriously ill at the time, so he wanted to entrust his daughter to me as soon as possible, I ...... I can't help it, so I can only get married first, and I haven't had a round house yet, and I won't have a round house so early. ”

Oh, that's what happened.

The strange eyes of the group of people were only then retracted.

Liu Bei also nodded slowly.

Indeed, although I don't know when Sima Shi was born, no matter how perverted Sima Yi is, he will not let an eleven-year-old female doll have a child.

But then again, a good man at the age of twenty-one or twelve, facing a wife of eleven or twelve, this mentality is probably not very balanced.

In other words, does Sima Yi have a concubine?

Liu Bei is also not good at meddling in the family affairs of officials, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and this matter has been the same throughout the ages.

Zhuge Liang suddenly frowned.

Then Pang Tong seemed to remember something.

"Zhongda, I remember that you said before that time that you wanted your wife to introduce your close friend to Kong Ming, do you mean ......?"

Sima Yi was stunned.

"Huh?"

"You forgot? On the night of the selection results, we were in Kong Ming's dormitory, and you took Kong Ming's arm and said that you wanted to introduce Kong Ming to your wife's close friend, wouldn't your wife's close friend be just that age? ”

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment.

Then his face turned red.

"Isn't there?"

"No, there is."

Lu Yi said faintly on the side: "Zhongda, I testify, there is, but you drank too much that night, and I also drank a lot at that time, so I didn't pay attention, now that I think about it, it's really a little strange......"

Sima Yi opened his mouth, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Everyone also looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they were very uncomfortable.

Liu Bei couldn't laugh or cry at this, patted Sima Yi's shoulder, asked him to sit down, and then said slowly: "The matter of marriage is your private matter, even if I am the Son of Heaven, I should not interfere, you should handle your own affairs, if your parents or elders want to call the shots, talk to them more, discuss, let them know what you think, I think, they should be willing to consider your ideas." ”

Liu Bei exposed this matter, and no one continued to make fun of Sima Yi.

Sima Yi rubbed his temples with some annoyance, obviously embarrassed by his family affairs.

However, this level of family affairs can make Sima Yi feel so worried, it seems that Sima Yi at this stage is far from reaching the state of pressure of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the future.

Then, Liu Bei talked about some more relaxed topics, and chatted with them about bathing and eating, which soothed the emotions of the young people.

After taking a bath, everyone changed into new clothes together, and Liu Bei also deliberately changed into the Shu brocade dress, and went to the banquet hall with the ten beautiful boys who were dressed up.

The banquet hall is actually the main square of the palace where the imperial examination was held before, and when Liu Bei took ten beautiful boys to the stage, the music on the main square played, and the drums sounded in unison, playing a cheerful joint movement.

Although only the top ten received money from the emperor, the other candidates were not completely without benefits.

In addition to eating a sumptuous meal, the top 100 were also rewarded with a Shu brocade, the top 500 were rewarded with five brocades, and the next 2,500 candidates were rewarded with three brocades, so it can be said that everyone has something to take.

Although these brocades are not as precious as Shu brocade, but when placed on the place, they are also high-quality brocades that can be directly exchanged for property.

This dinner was quite sumptuous, Liu Bei ordered the chefs of the central canteen to take out their housekeeping skills, all the delicious and delicious food, fried chicken legs, fried pork cutlets and other things that even high-ranking officials can not usually eat, tonight, open supply.

Many candidates eat so much fried food for the first time, and they almost catch the fried food and eat it, and the vegetarian food is not touched at all.

According to them, these sunflowers, leeks and other things can be eaten at any time, but fried food, that can not be eaten at any time, and sometimes even if you can see and sell it, it may not be enough money to buy it.

So anyway, I want to have a good time today.

For example, Zhuge Jun, because his ranking is not high, seeing his brother Zhuge Liang being treated so favorably by Liu Bei, the Son of Heaven, is called an envy, but there is no way, his ability is not enough, and he is not angry, so he can only eat the plate of fried chicken legs and fried pork cutlets in front of him.

One bite after another, left and right bows, one chicken leg in one hand, the whole mouth is stuffed, like a crazy hamster.

This night, the big ones ate with their stomachs open, no matter how many things in their hearts before, how many resentment and dissatisfaction, how many worries, all completely dissipated with the blessing of food and wine, and it was the most important thing for them to enjoy the pleasure of tonight.

After a night of carnival, the candidates supported each other and returned to the candidates' dormitory, where they slept until three o'clock the next day.

In the evening of the next day, Liu Bei sent someone to the candidates' dormitory to announce the news to the candidates.

In two days, they went to the official department one by one according to their respective scientific examination rankings, in order, to receive their respective official certificates, official uniforms, and some other supplies from the imperial court, as well as to receive their respective tasks assigned by the imperial court.

Because they were first-time officials, they did not understand what they needed to do and what they should do, so even the rank of representative of the collective farms at the lowest level could not be easily granted.

They need to go through three months of "government observation" in various departments of the imperial court before they are granted specific positions and go to work.

It's a novel experience for them in every sense of the word.

They have never been exposed to the specific processes and methods of handling government affairs, and they will be assigned to various departments, become reservists of various departments, errand boys, and gradually master the skills and things that must be done to become an official in a series of actions.

Liu Bei hoped that they would learn how to be an official through three months of observing politics, so they would be divided into a hundred squads, each led by a senior official.

This veteran official is responsible for teaching them some of the skills necessary to be an official, and by the way, he will also be their "instructor" during the political observation period, grading their performance.

In order to avoid the self-righteous slackness of some people during the observation period, the observation period is also to be scored, if the rating during the observation period is not enough, or even make mistakes and crimes, then it is possible to be removed from the post and return to the original form, everything is just a dream.

So, don't think that everything will be fine when you enter the political viewing period, no!

After learning about this, the mood of the candidates became a little nervous, and a group of people looked at me and I looked at you, and felt that things were a little serious.
