Zhang Ji personally guarded the wall for three days.

Duan Xuan and Zhang Xiu also gave up what they were doing and accompanied Zhang Ji to stay there for three days.

On the fourth day, the patience of these masters was exhausted.

"Tell me, what the hell are you doing here? Otherwise, you will kill me with a knife, I can't stand it. Duan Xuan roared at Zhang Ji, he really couldn't stand it anymore, if he continued like this, he felt that he would go crazy.

Zhang Ji smiled and said: "We are eating and drinking good wine and meat here, why can't you stand it?" Look at Liu Shizhong, now he has to move all his belongings here. ”

Hearing this, Liu Luan said: "Because I don't have as many worries as the two generals. ”

Duan Xuan waved his arms irritably, and roared loudly: "Yes, the food is good, I haven't eaten it in the first half of my life, but I'm not sure." You gather troops here all day long, it is clear that there is some conspiracy, but I don't see any actions from you, what are you going to do? ”

Zhang Xiu on the side is also dignified.

Duan Xuan's words were also what he wanted to say.

Zhang Ji pursed his lips a little helplessly, patted his legs twice, and said, "Hmm...... Haven't you always prided yourself to be smart? Why can't you understand such a simple thing? ”

"Uncle, don't sell your son." Zhang Xiu said.

Zhang Ji smiled with great satisfaction, as if he had finally moved back to a game.

"Aren't you just worried that I will suddenly find an opportunity that you don't pay attention to and raise an army to rebel?" Zhang Ji said, "But have you forgotten that two of the meals we have eaten in the past few days have been given by His Majesty?" ”

"You see me gathering troops here all day long, Your Majesty is ...... Can't see it? ”

Zhang Xiu and Duan Xuan were stunned, looking at each other with stupid expressions.

"Seems to be the same." Duan Xuan muttered.

Zhang Ji smiled smugly, pretending to be mysterious: "As for why I am in this place, it is really difficult to say. Don't worry about it, I'm not going to say it. ”

"If you're all right, you can sit here with me. If there's something to do, go your own way. ”

Zhang Xiu and Duan Xuan glanced at each other with strange expressions, and they were both stunned.

looked at Zhang Ji's little appearance that suddenly seemed to be arrogant, and he was a little angry.

"Zhang Gong." Zhang Xiu pulled Duan Xuan outside and asked in a low voice, "Did my uncle receive any errand from Your Majesty?" ”

Duan Xuan nodded, "I look like it." ”

"Did Your Majesty promise my uncle any benefits?" Zhang Xiu was still a little incredulous, "He has been saying bad things about His Majesty behind his back, and his attitude is also very rebellious, why is this suddenly like a change of sex." ”

Although Duan Xuan was a little apprehensive in his heart, he still sighed lightly: "No matter what benefits Your Majesty promises, as long as he continues to be safe and stable, I'm really worried about when your uncle will suddenly lose his mind and drag you and me to death together!" ”

Zhang Xiushen nodded lightly in disapproval, "What Zhang Gong said is very true. ”

"We don't bother to ask about anything, as long as it's okay."

Duan Xuan also felt that it should be so, and said: "That's it, this place is King Liang's mansion, and this matter should be inseparable from King Liang." We'll know when things are revealed. ”

"If you want to sit with your uncle, go and go, I'll go back to the camp first."

"Good!" Zhang Xiu responded.

When Duan Xuan left, the sky was gloomy, as if another heavy rain was brewing.

As he walked through the damp streets, he suddenly realized a truth.

Crying children have milk to eat.

……

Liu Wei has always been unfamiliar with these princes and kings of the Han Dynasty.

There are only a few references to these people in the history books, and they are not the protagonists of this era.

But after Liu Wei met the king of Jibei and the king of Liang, he suddenly had some changes and understanding of these princes and kings.

The princes and kings symbolize the heritage.

The harmless Wang Luan of Jibei is studious, sleek, and kind to people everywhere, but in fact, the city is very deep.

And King Liang is simply a living conspirator.

He actually made three tunnels in the single father city, leading to three places respectively.

Except for the one under his mansion, the other two were only allowed to pass through one person, but the location of the exit was obviously carefully surveyed.

The curious Liu Bian, after seeing it in person, really admired the King of Liang who had not yet met.

It's a talent!

It was this incident that made Liu Wei finally summon the biggest official in this place, Shanyang County Shou Yuan's will.

"What benefits did Yuan Benchu promise you? Let me hear it! Liu Wei looked at the Taishou who looked cowering and had no morale and asked.

Yuan was lying on the ground, his heart was messy like a messy hemp rope.

He felt like he was walking on a rope on the edge of a cliff, with the truth of his death.

On the one hand, it is a lie that is very likely to fight for a way to live.

"Yuan Benchu told me that we should be an example of the benevolent and righteous people in the world and crusade against the unreasonable." Yuan Yi stubbornly said, "He is the younger brother of the criminal minister, and even if the criminal minister has his own opinion in his heart, he feels that he should help him." ”

"If he fails, I will also die, and the criminal minister will not be able to get around the nine clans for the time being."

In the end, Yuan Yi still chose to tell the truth.

Liu Wei smiled, "I'm very relieved that you can tell some truth in front of me." ”

"Crusade against Wudao, it seems that I can't get rid of the fact that I am a tyrant."

Last year, Liu Wei was still struggling in that deep palace, desperately fighting for his life.

But it's only been more than half a year, and he has already become a tyrant without reason.

Public opinion, no matter what era it is, is still very powerful.

This is probably the reason why Cao Cao did not dare to provoke scholars after he unified the north.

In this era, public opinion and wealth are in the hands of the nobles.

And the information is not disseminated in a timely manner, making it easier for them to say that black is white.

Paint the white as black.

"Your Majesty, you can actually reuse Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan and other great Confucians to speak for Your Majesty. As long as these people are willing to stand on your side, even if those rumors cannot be completely dispelled, they can resist it. Yuan Yi was timid and whispered to advise.

For the sake of his own life, he quickly changed his position and sided with the emperor.

"These are your last words?" Liu Wei lowered his head and asked.

Yuan Yi was stunned, and his face gradually withered.

"Your Majesty, the ...... of the guilty ministers"

He had just opened his mouth in a panic when he was interrupted by Liu Wei raising his hand, "Although you have found a good authenticity, this cannot be regarded as a credit." I haven't even spared those ordinary soldiers, if I let you go, the head of the rebels, will my tyrant be a little untrue? ”

After a short struggle in his heart, Yuan Yi accepted his fate, "The guilty minister knows that he is guilty of a deep sin, and he cannot escape death, I only hope that His Majesty can treat the minister's family well." ”

"Are you dreaming that you dare to betray me, but you still want me to be kind to your family? Shameless! Should I really be a fool? Liu Wei suddenly turned his face and shouted angrily, "Come on, take it down!" Tell the whole city, tomorrow at noon, Ming Zhengcanon! ”

Yuan Yi was frightened and jumped, the bones on his body seemed to be soft, his eyes were hollow on the ground, and he let the guards drag him out of the room, without even having time to shout a word of begging for mercy.

Liu Wei's face changed quickly, and he received it quickly.

When he sat down, his face returned to normal, and he said to Xun You very calmly: "You can discuss how to deal with the families of these rebellious ministers and thieves." In extraordinary times, the law must be strict. It is not possible to destroy the family and destroy the family, but what their parents do must become the shackles of their descendants and the entire family. ”

"Yui!"

Xun You, who had been with the emperor for a long time, responded to the matter in a simple sentence.

Although in his heart, he already had a countermeasure.

Since it is necessary for him to consult with others, even if it is just for everyone to get together and talk some nonsense, it will have to be discussed.

The emperor's trust in him was as thick as a mountain, which moved Xun You's heart, but he was also cautious everywhere.

"O tyrant." Liu Wei laughed with mockery on the corner of his mouth.

Although he said that he didn't care, who really didn't care!

Yuan Yi's words still made him listen to them.

He asked to himself: "Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, these great Confucians endorse me, can they really be used?" ”

"Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth?" Xun You put down his pen and asked.

Liu Wei raised his head and stared at Xun You, "Do you still want to tell me a lie?" ”

"Naturally, the minister didn't dare." Xun You bowed his head slightly and said, "Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, these famous Confucians, have disciples all over the world. What they said was naturally effective for the people of the world and the common people. However, it does not change the facts. ”

"In other words, those who should be rebelled will still be rebelled, and those who should be rebelled will still rebel, right?" Liu Wei asked.

Xun Yu bowed, "That's right." ”

Liu Wei thought about it, and suddenly remembered something.

When he looked at the Three Kingdoms, he seemed to automatically ignore the division of the princes, and when the heroes were conquered and merged, there was actually an emperor in the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao was scolded as a thief all his life, but he actually became a Hanchen for a lifetime.

And those who shouted that the Qing monarch was on the side and punished the Han thieves seemed to have been the emperor of the soil.

Except that Zhuge Liang has always been thinking about sending troops north to recover the Central Plains.

It seems that there is no local prince who wants to send troops to rescue their emperor.

If you look at it from the perspective of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at that time, all of them are thieves of the country.

And those people are the same group of people that he, the emperor, needs to face now.

Looking at the current things from the perspective of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at that time, in fact, for him, the emperor, whether it is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Sun Quan, or Liu Bei, Gongsun Du, Han Sui, Ma Teng, there is no loyal minister in his mother.

So the essence of the matter is, no matter what he, the emperor, is going to do, or what he has done.

If people should be self-reliant, they should be self-reliant for another reason, or even without a reason.

That's the truth.

"Well, I don't want this reputation." With contempt in his eyes, Liu Wei shook his head and smiled, "This was originally my self-pollution, but I didn't expect it to be like this, so let's take a look at how this world will turn over the rivers and seas." ”

Xun You has always admired the emperor's courage very much.

It is really rare for a young emperor who is only fifteen years old to have such courage.

He did not persuade the emperor to conquer Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan.

He didn't think it was very important.

Today's court, in his eyes, is like a round of rising sun slowly rising in the broken world.

From the emperor to the courtiers, they are all brave and young and vigorous.

For a dead tree to come back to life, it must grow new branches and leaves.

And Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan and others, they are indeed famous Confucians, but they are not necessarily suitable for the court.

If these people are allowed to enter the court, whether they are emperors or courtiers, they will definitely be hindered by their reputation.

"Your Majesty, the three-way reinforcements of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have all fled, and the counties of Shanyang should be recovered as soon as possible." Xun You said.

"What's more, Chenliu County lacks several county orders and captains, and the lieutenants can still be appointed from the army, but the county commanders must have a certain amount of talent and learning, and it is difficult to select generals in the army who have the ability to deal with political affairs."

This bald-headed matter was brought up again, and Liu Wei instantly remembered the imperial examination system.

"Let all counties recommend good talents, unlimited number, on the summer solstice, Gyeonggi big examination, select the best." Liu Wei said.

He couldn't completely move the imperial examination system in one go.

But he can take the exam to select talents!

After hearing this, Xun You was a little puzzled, and then asked, "Your Majesty, are you preparing to depose some of the scholars?" ”

"The imperial court should select talents, and there is no reason to recommend them directly. Liu Biao snatched the Fu Jie, and he was able to recommend and appoint local officials on his own, do you think this thing is outrageous? Inspections and recommendations are no longer suitable for the present, and changes must be made. Liu Wei said.

Throughout the Han Dynasty, after the recommendation of officials at all levels, there would be examinations for the emperor and the three dukes to serve as examiners.

But there is no precedent for dethronement!

Almost all the officials who were recommended were appointed, whether they were good or bad.

Liu Wei didn't know if it worked before, but now it definitely won't work.

Xun You's eyes lit up slightly, a small change, but it made the imperial court selection more comprehensive, he didn't have any reason to refute, just said: "Your Majesty, since it is a big exam, the content of the exam should be determined as soon as possible and announced to the world!" ”

"The six arts of a gentleman must be examined, and everyone learns these things, and it will definitely not work if you don't take these." Liu Wei said as if asking and answering himself, "Since you are the party in charge, you must have the ability to deal with political affairs, and choose some real things from all over the world as exam questions?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Xun Yu is convinced, this is the exam prepared for doing practical things in a down-to-earth manner.

He continued: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the counties and counties are complicated, in addition to the ability to deal with political affairs, the ability to judge cases and deal with disputes, the minister's suggestion can be assessed together. Although it is the responsibility of the governor to litigate and investigate the affairs of the governor, the minister feels that these matters can be decided jointly by the prefectural order and the governor in the future to show justice. ”

"The county order and the lieutenant have different opinions and are difficult to decide, so they can be reported to the county government for verification and determination."

"Good!" Liu Wei bowed his head.

Although he knows that the determination of rights is relatively rough.

But you can't really eat a fat person in one bite.

Everything is so complicated, and it is impossible for him to put it all in one go.

Xun You said: "The county order is an official who governs the people, and he must be familiar with agricultural affairs, and the minister thinks that this matter should also be investigated!" ”

"The minister has seen more than one county commander, but he doesn't know the grains, and he doesn't know what to cultivate. A prefectural magistrate who doesn't even know what's growing in the field, when it's plowed, and when it's harvested is not a good prefectural official. ”

"Makes sense, test!" Liu Wei said.

Xun You's brain turned like a spinning top that had been pumped up with dead strength at this moment.

After a moment, he said again: "Your Majesty, a good county order should know the law!" ”

"The law is the foundation of the country, and the basis for the investigation and investigation of the traitorous court, test!"

"Your Majesty, a good county commander should know a little about Tao strategy and a little about the art of war."

Liu Wei was stunned, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, is this a little redundant for you?" ”

When a county commander has to test the art of war, Liu Wei feels that he will definitely be able to brush down a large number of people.

It is even possible that there will not be one or two people left after a test.

Xun You explained: "Your Majesty, this is an eventful time, and any county may be attacked by bandits and attacked by others at any time. It's not that they are completely proficient, but they just know a little, and they can know it lightly. At the very least, you should know how to control the soldiers and horses, and how to make the whole and the whole one mind. ”

"It really makes sense, so let's take the test." After Liu Wei listened, there was no basis for refutation.

That's really the case now.

A county order that can't hold a knife is not a good county order.

"Isn't it almost?" Liu Wei asked.

Xun You thought for a while, then said, "It seems to be almost." ”

Liu Wei felt slightly relieved in his heart, he was really worried that Xun Yu would come up with something that he couldn't refuse.

That's a lot.

He felt big for the soldiers who were preparing to become county magistrates.

The six arts of the gentleman are already mixed, and now they also add government, civil affairs, laws, and the art of war.

Ten subjects!
