Chapter 397: Departure for Nanzhou
With the promulgation of the decree, Jiaozhou, which was somewhat chaotic, gradually developed in a good direction.
In this atmosphere, Su Qi'an did another big thing, opening the Jiaozhou state test in Qingcheng County and Yangliu County.
Because of the outbreak of war with Li Kang before, he wanted to hold a state examination within a county to postpone the matter.
Now, after clearing the obstacle of Li Kang, the state test in Jiaozhou has finally been held.
The reason why it is far away in these two counties is that it has been fully considered, among the six counties in Jiaozhou, the current development is the best, and the county is governed, Yangliu County and Qingcheng County are the best.
In order to protect the students who participated in the imperial examination this time, it was also for the sake of fairness, not in the state city, but in the two counties, and some suspicions of collusion and cheating were also exempted.
This state test, not only Su Qi'an attaches great importance to it, but also the entire high-level official family in Jiaozhou.
It was Su Qi'an who replaced Li Kang and took power in the state for the first time after taking power, which was a test of his power.
In this state examination, Huo Cheng is the most college entrance examiner, and His Royal Highness the Ninth will also attend, which is enough to give Su Qi'an face, a self-evident meaning.
Huang Wenyan and Wu Yong, who are county guards in the sub-examination rooms of the two counties, are naturally the chief examiners.
Of course, in addition to a few county guards, Su Qi'an spent a long time inviting the senior Confucian who lived in seclusion in Jiaozhou to serve as an invigilator.
This news shocked many people, and the senior Confucian of Jiaozhou, many years ago, went into hiding and refused to attend any Jiaozhou imperial examination.
The reason why this is the case, those who know the inside story know that these Confucians and Li Kang were seriously at odds back then.
Under Li Kang's manipulation, the imperial examination was basically a tool for him to control the rights of Jiaozhou students.
The previous fairness and rigor have long since changed, and it is precisely because of this that some arrogant Confucians are unwilling to go along with Li Kang.
Retreating into hiding, not asking about the world, these Confucian performances are in line with Li Kang's thoughts.
Simply fulfill them and let them go.
Unexpectedly, the great Confucian of Jiaozhou, who had lived in seclusion for more than ten years, was invited out of the mountain by Su Qi'an.
The emergence of these great Confucians is equivalent to giving the outside world a very strong confidence.
This state exam is absolutely fair and strict, everything depends on talent to speak, and those who want to steal women and play tricks like in the past, and find backdoor relationships are all expelled from the examination room without exception.
These are all exams in the two counties, and ordinary people have seen with their own eyes, and there are seven or eight students who have been expelled from the examination room.
Among these people, many of them are children of local families, but this background is useless in this imperial examination.
Looking at the embarrassed students who left the scene, many people present were amazed.
They knew that after this purge, the imperial examination in Jiaozhou would become more and more promising in the future.
As far as they know, there are seven places in Jiaozhou for the Jinshi selected this time who can go to Beijing to participate in the palace examination.
This is four more than when Li Kang was in office, and this extra number of places is heard to be the care of Nanzhou Mu.
This made some thoughtful people think of something quickly, but they didn't dare to say more, their eyes flashed, and there was a bit of shock in their eyes.
At this time, on the edge of the examination room in Qingcheng County, there was a five-story mansion.
Looking from the window on the fifth floor, the examination room in front of you was in full view, and at this time, by the window, there were several people looking at it.
These people are Su Qi'an, Xie Cang, Tong Zhan, Su Yong and others.
The four of them looked at it for a long time, their eyes retracted, and Su Qi'an said gratefully to Xie Cang, "This imperial examination, thank you Gu Zhou Mu for being willing to cede the quota, and I would like to express my gratitude to Xiang Nanzhou here."
Xie Cang waved his hand absently and said, "Brother Su, what you said is polite, I am just acting on orders, and Lord Gu does this, which means that he values Brother Su very much."
"Brother Su, it's time for us to go."
Su Qi'an nodded, after he took over Jiaozhou, one order after another was issued, although it was busy, but Jiaozhou was getting better day by day.
In a flash, a month has passed, and Xie Cang still helped him a lot in this month.
Especially in his reorganization of the Dongshan Army, under the warehouse
, Chencang and the two counties of military defense, all of which are in charge of the Split Mountain Army, as for the Nanzhou soldiers who followed, they had already returned half a month ago.
That is, with the help of the Split Mountain Army, Su Qi'an smoothly expanded the army by three divisions, and at the fastest speed, the three divisions were transferred to defense, and there was no big chaos on the way.
Now Su Qi'an's three divisions are stationed in the three counties of Xiacang, Chencang, and Qingcheng.
These three places are extremely important strategic places in Jiaozhou, and needless to say, Xiacang County is the west of Jiaozhou, an important town for the defense of barbarian Heilu.
Chencang is an important border town leading to Xizhou, and Qingcheng County, although it is in the south of Jiaozhou, can directly connect to the three major counties of Yangliu, Gaolan and Jiaojun.
Sending troops from Qingcheng County can directly control the three counties, which is the core of Jiaozhou.
With such an arrangement, no matter what happens in the six counties, troops can be arranged to dispatch as soon as possible.
Of course, from the current point of view, the possibility of a major war breaking out is not very large.
The most probable barbarian Heilu was led by Xie Cang some time ago and suffered heavy losses.
They have all withdrawn from the border of Jiaozhou, and in the short term, there will be no second war, and only troops need to be sent to deploy troops at the border.
This also gave Su Qi'an a time to recuperate, fighting a war is to burn money and food, if he blindly fights and does not recuperate, he will be dragged down in a strong combat army.
It was precisely in consideration that a major war could not break out in a short period of time, taking advantage of the stable period, Su Qi'an handed over the state affairs to the state affairs, and basically arranged it clearly, and by the way, the state trial was held.
has been busy for a month, and before leaving, they can do everything they need to do, at least Huo Cheng, Huang Wenyan, and Wu will have a lot easier for them.
Leaving Jiaozhou this time and heading to Nanzhou, Su Qi'an was ready for a long time.
Feeling the pressure of Su Qi'an's slight relaxation, Xie Cang teased, "Brother Su, if I remember well, you can make a name for yourself now, why don't you take advantage of the current situation to participate in the Jiaozhou State Examination, with Brother Su's ability, it is not easy to make a Jinshi fame, and when the time comes, it will be another good story to enter Beijing to participate in the palace examination."
Xie Cang's ridicule, Su Qi'an just laughed, if he hadn't been taken to the battlefield in Ningzhou by Xie Cang, and then a series of unquiet things happened.
Maybe Su Qi'an will follow the trajectory of his life and participate in the imperial examination step by step.
It's just that no one can predict their lives, and the same is true for Su Qi'an.
Who would have thought that a modern young man, inexplicably came to this feudal Daliang, and along the way, he actually embarked on the road of a military general, and finally became a marquis, and became the actual ruler of a state.
This is where the amazement and the sigh come in.
After laughing, Su Qi'an glanced at Xie Cangdao, "Okay, it's time for us to pack our things too, these people are the hope of Jiaozhou's future, I hope they can stick to the right path in their hearts and contribute to Da Liang."
"Well, I agree with Brother Su's words, if Da Liang can have a few more people like Brother Su, why worry about Da Liang."
This time, the state examination of the two counties was held for three days, and seven Jinshi students who entered Beijing to take the examination were selected.
Originally, he planned to let Su Qi'an come forward to speak, but who knew that Su Qi'an followed Xie Cang and left ahead of schedule, which made the seven Jinshi students quite regretful.
Fortunately, before Su Qi'an left, Toho Cheng brought some words to the seven people, which slightly relieved the hearts of the seven people.
Shortly after the end of the state test, at the same time, Qingcheng County, Su Qi'an's mansion, in a side room.
Su Fengling's figure stood by the window, looking at the direction of her gaze, it was Su Qi'an who left Jiaozhou and went to Nanzhou.
In her hand, there was a letter written by Su Qi'an, to the effect that some things that had been discussed with her before, as well as some arrangements in Jiaozhou after Su Qi'an left, hoping that Su Fengling could take care of it more.
Looking at the letter in her hand, Su Fengling pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, "I don't know how to say something of concern, I don't even have a scene, it's really a wood."
"Leaving Jiaozhou, sneakingly, and sending a message to the palace, so afraid of the palace? Is this palace a tiger?"
Su Fengling vented her complaints, just as she was thinking, waiting for Su Qi'an to come back
, How to punish him, suddenly, behind her, the figure of Lin Guard appeared.
Guarding Lin half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Your Highness, there is news from the Imperial City that some powerful princes are dissatisfied that His Highness has been away from Beijing for too long, and there is some criticism in the imperial court."
Hearing this, Su Fengling frowned slightly, sighed lightly, and an unpleasant aura emanated.
Su Fengling snorted coldly, "Hmph, these guys, really don't know about this palace, they want to let this palace marry their relatives far away, in exchange for the so-called stability, this palace has been absent for too long, it is estimated that they have been blowing the wind on the side of their father, these people should be beaten."
"What do you mean by Father?"
"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent a message, hoping that Your Highness can return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Su Fengling's slightly frowning brows became deeper and deeper, according to her understanding of her father, at this time, she could let her father go back in such a hurry.
It shouldn't be that simple, after all, she doesn't know how much she has heard about kissing in recent years.
And Su Xuanyong is quite loving because there is only one daughter left by Su Fengling, and basically the matter of getting along with each other has been blocked back by Su Xuanyong. Look at the book
But this time, to make her father so anxious, Su Fengling obviously noticed that things were not simple.
She calmed down and said softly, "Uncle Lin, send someone to find out what happened in the court, I want news about all the major affairs of the court in the past two years."
Guard Lin nodded, and then disappeared in place.
Su Fengling, who was standing by the window, her beautiful eyes flashed, she sighed, and muttered softly, "Hey, I hope there is nothing big this time, Su Qi'an, you have to come back quickly, I'm afraid that this palace will not stay long in Jiaozhou."
At the same time, it is on an official road about hundreds of miles east of Qingcheng County.
The mighty men and horses, almost invisible at a glance, occupy the entire official road.
These horses, at a glance, know that they are the army, and when they show their banners, they flutter in the wind, giving people a rather imposing feeling.
It's a pity that there are no people on this official road who can't see such a majestic army.
