In front of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, there is a long queue, many of them are well-known scholars, and some of them are people who are lucky and eat and drink, they come from all over the world, with dreams and hopes, and can get a half-official position in Xianyang and live a carefree life from then on.

Moreover, in this era, there is no diploma from a key university, and there is no full-time, correspondence and other key training, many people are self-taught, which creates a problem, many people's literature and ability can not be identified, but even so, the recruitment hall is still very responsible for assessing everyone's resume, strict assessment.

Xiang Zhuang was standing at the door of the Zhaoxian Pavilion at this time, and behind him were Xiang Sheng and two subordinates temporarily assigned to him, responsible for taking care of the Zhaoxian Pavilion and preventing people with ulterior motives from coming to make trouble.

But Xiang Zhuang's mind at this time did not put on this, Ying Ziying once promised that he would personally invite Sima Xin to help his uncle get out of trouble, but in the blink of an eye, several days have passed, and there is no news at all, seeing that the New Year is approaching, Xiang Zhuang is a little breathless, if there is no news, he must personally go to Liyang.

And these days, the Confucian wind // wave has gradually passed, after Lu Sheng absconded, there was no more news, and Guanzhong Dasuo gradually relaxed, and many people have even forgotten the panic atmosphere not long ago and returned to their peaceful lives.

Just when Xiang Zhuang was wandering all over the world and thinking about something, Uncle Sun Tong had already come closer, coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, that day, thank you for your help, otherwise, I am afraid that my old life will ......."

Shusun Tong didn't continue, but Xiang Zhuang had already smiled and said, "It's hard work, why worry about it." ”

Shusun Tong smiled awkwardly, and also returned the salute, at this time, Shusun Tong looked at the crowd of people who came to join in the distance, and couldn't help laughing: "Before Gongzi held the Recruitment Hall, he invited my teacher Kong Kun, but he rejected Gongzi, I was very sorry at the beginning, but now it seems that perhaps, the teacher's decision is right." ”

Xiang Zhuang became interested, and couldn't help laughing: "Why did Uncle Sun say this?" ”

Shusun Tong sighed lightly and said with a dry smile: "In the past, I still had a glimmer of hope for the Qin State, and I wanted to work hard before retiring, leaving a name in history, and not vain this life, but the court wantonly arrested Confucian scholars and wrongfully killed countless people, I have been disheartened, if it weren't for the son to protect me, I'm afraid that at this time, I will not be able to escape prison, so ......"

Uncle Sun Tong sighed, looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, and said softly: "Now that the situation is turbulent, I am ready to go back to my hometown, teach apprentices, and live my whole life." ”

"Actually, uncle and grandson don't have to be so depressed, sooner or later there will be great changes in the world, uncle goes home, he can wait for hibernation, but in the place of Guanzhong, you can't love for a long time." Xiang Zhuang sighed lightly, Shusun Tong was slightly surprised, Xiang Zhuang seemed to know something, but what would his 'the world will change'? Shusun Tong fell into deep thought, and Xiang Zhuang at this time, he also knew that he was speechless, he couldn't talk to Shusun Tong anymore, otherwise he would expose himself too much, which would be bad for the Xiang family, and it would not be beneficial to himself, after all, Shusun Tong was still more supportive of Fusu, thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang arched his hand and smiled: "Uncle Uncle Sun, don't think about it too much, I just said in passing, what the future will look like, we can't predict, we can only take one step at a time." ”

Uncle Sun Tong smiled and nodded, said goodbye, and walked towards the Zhaoxian Pavilion, Xiang Zhuang looked at the back of Uncle Sun Tong far away, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, recalling what he just said, if he was heard by someone with a heart, he would definitely accuse himself of spreading rumors and making trouble, demagoguery, thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for himself.

It's not early, the front of the recruitment hall is still busy, students from all over the country are lining up, at least before noon, these people can't be registered, Xiang Zhuang shook his head helplessly, why are these people so persistent, can they become officials in Xianyang, can they change the fate of their lives?

Everyone swept the snow in front of the door, Xiang Zhuang felt that he seemed to be a little worried, their fate was their own choice, what did they have to do with themselves, besides, they couldn't change their fate, so thinking, Xiang Zhuang was about to return to the Zhaoxian Hall, but not far away, a familiar voice sounded: "Brother Xiang......!" ”

After the voice, Xiang Zhuang felt that someone was patted on the back, and he immediately turned around vigilantly, and found that Liu Bang had come to the front without knowing when, and said with great joy: "Sure enough, it's Brother Xiang!" ”

Without waiting for Xiang Zhuang to react, Liu Bang hugged Xiang Zhuang affectionately and laughed: "It's been nearly two months since we parted, right?" How did you come to Xianyang? ”

"Hehe, it turned out to be Brother Liu!" Liu Bang just let go of Xiang Zhuang, and Xiang Zhuang smiled with a smile.

This feeling of meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country made Xiang Zhuang feel that the world seemed to be brighter again, and before Xiang Zhuang could speak again, Liu Bang had laughed and said: "Farewell to Suiyang, I'm thinking about you day and night, brother, how are you doing lately?" ”

Liu Bang's concern made Xiang Zhuang's heart warm, he couldn't help but choke a little, and his eyes were slightly red, but Xiang Zhuang quickly suppressed his emotions and sighed lightly: "Don't hide it from Brother Liu, my family has a lawsuit, my uncle was arrested in Liyang, I entered the capital this time to rescue my uncle." ”

After Liu Bang heard this, he couldn't help sighing, as if he was arrested and his closest person, patted Xiang Zhuang on the shoulder, and comforted: "Brother, don't panic, I came to Xianyang this time to escort prisoners, you might as well go to Liyang with me to see if you can rescue our uncle, and I will return with you." ”

Liu Bang's words, after listening to it, people felt warm in their hearts, and Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was really a generation of heroes Liu Bang......

But at this time, Xiang Zhuang has promised to help Su and help him guard the Zhaoxian Pavilion, if he leaves in a hurry, Xiang Zhuang is afraid that Fu Su will blame himself, so thinking so, Xiang Zhuang is embarrassed: "Brother Liu's invitation, Xiang Zhuang is grateful, but I have something to do at this time, it is inconvenient to leave, and I ask Brother Liu to forgive me." ”

Liu Bang looked behind Xiang Zhuang, the three big words of 'Zhaoxian Pavilion' were eye-catching, Liu Bang had actually seen this plaque and not far away, people waiting in line, he wanted to ask the reason, but he didn't wait for the opportunity, at this time, through Xiang Zhuang's words, he asked with a smile: "I said, Brother Xiang is dressed this time, like a thug, which is different from usual." ”

Liu Bang opened the topic and continued to ask: "There is a long queue there, what are you doing?" ”

"This is the Recruitment Hall, it is Gongzi Fusu who is recruiting guests and selecting talents for the country, and there will be some people who will stay under the door of Fusu Gongzi and enjoy the support of Fusu Gongzi." Xiang Zhuang pointed to the crowd not far away and said with a smile.

Liu Bang nodded slightly, Xiang Zhuang's dress at this time and what he just said, it is not difficult to see that he must have joined the Fusu Sect.

After saying goodbye to Suiyang, what happened, Liu Bang didn't know, but the current Xiang Zhuang is definitely not what it used to be, he can climb the big fish of Fusu, it is definitely not simple, thinking of this, Liu Bang couldn't help but smile and said: "That day Suiyang farewell, Brother Xiang saved my life, I haven't had a chance to repay it, this time since Brother Xiang's family was killed, why not follow me to Liyang and his party, maybe, our uncle's unjust case can take a turn?" ”

Xiang Zhuang's only concern was Fusu, but Liu Bang invited for the second time at this time, Xiang Zhuang was a little tempted in his heart, and at this time, Liu Bang smiled again: "You and I have been separated for a long time, you might as well find a tavern in Liyang to continue the parting." ”

Looking back on the past few days, Sima Xin has not come to Xianyang for a long time, and his uncle's affairs have been delayed again and again, and Liu Bang has repeatedly proposed that he wants to accompany him to Liyang, Xiang Zhuang had to nod and said with a smile: "I'll go talk to my son, if I can, I will go to Liyang with Brother Liu today." ”

Liu Bang nodded, Xiang Zhuang was about to leave, at this time, he saw not far away, was checking the registered Fusu, he was wearing a milky white robe, dressed elegantly, like a young Confucian who came to serve the Zhaoxian Pavilion, Xiang Zhuang turned around and told Xiang Sheng a few words, but walked quickly to Fusu.

Fusu is checking the roster at this time, from yesterday to today, in two days, the Zhaoxian Hall received more than 300 people, these are students from the surrounding counties, but I heard that the father has decreed that no matter where the students are Confucian, as long as they are willing to come to Xianyang, they will be able to get the position.

This is a good start, after all, the father has slowly accepted these Confucian students, relying on the recruitment hall to select talents, and winning the recognition of the world's scholars, the Confucian style // wave will gradually be forgotten by people, and the bad influence of the imperial court will also be ignored by everyone, so thinking, Fusu slowly put down the roster, at this time, Xiang Zhuang's voice sounded in his ears: "Childe, do you have time?" ”

Fusu turned around and saw that Xiang Zhuang had come to the front, he was in a good mood today, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Xiang, is there something wrong?" ”

"Uncle's matter has been delayed for too long, I am uneasy, I want to go to Liyang for a walk, I hope that my son will be fulfilled." After Xiang Zhuang finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee, Fu Su pondered slightly, he reached out to help Xiang Zhuang, patted Xiang Zhuang on the shoulder, and comforted: "The heart of missing relatives, everyone has it, I can't stop you from rescuing your uncle, it's too selfish, but I hope that when you come back from Liyang, you can stay with me with all your heart, is it okay?" ”

Fusu did not refuse himself, Xiang Zhuang was a little moved in his heart, and hugged his fists and said: "Xiang Zhuang takes the order." ”

Fusu was overjoyed, took out the token from his arms, handed it to Xiang Zhuang, and instructed: "You take this token, go to Liyang Prison to find Sima Xin, in my name, let him release people, he saw this card, he didn't dare to disobey, but I hope that three days later, you can come back to me with the token, I am waiting for you in the Zhaoxian Hall." ”

Xiang Zhuang took the token and thanked him: "Please rest assured, I will definitely come back in three days!" ”

。。。。。。

Liu Bang escorted ten prisoners to Liyang this time, walked with him, and two officials, watching the ten prisoners march slowly, Liu Bang couldn't help but think of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, if he could get Xiang Zhuang's recommendation and seek a job in Xianyang, this would be far better than serving as the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, thinking so, Liu Bang ran a few steps quickly, caught up with Xiang Zhuang, and said with a smile: "I remember that the virtuous brother talked about the Zhaoxian Pavilion today, it was Gongzi Fusu who was recruiting guests in Guang? ”

Liu Bang suddenly mentioned the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and Xiang Zhuang couldn't help laughing: "Gongzi wants to recruit bachelors from all over the world, so he held the Zhaoxian Pavilion." ”

"That'...... Can you introduce me to one or two so that I can also find a job in Xianyang? Liu Bang swallowed.

But Xiang Zhuang had already seen the little Jiujiu in Liu Bang's heart, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Liu, what the Zhaoxian Pavilion needs is a truly knowledgeable person, if you don't have knowledge, it will be difficult to get a position, at that time, wouldn't it be a pity for you to lose the position of pavilion chief again?" ”

Although Xiang Zhuang was just perfunctory to Liu Bang, Liu Bang really hesitated, and his pace slowed down, and he said to himself that the balance pros and cons were Xiang Zhuang, he had seen that the dust was flying in the distance, and it seemed that the army was rushing here, and he couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Liu, where is this place?" ”

Liu Bang looked around and said with a smile: "It's already past Gaoling here, not far from Liyang." ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded, pointed not far away, and said suspiciously: "Look, there is a lot of dust there, is there an army in a hurry?" ”

Liu Bang looked in the direction of Xiang Zhuang's finger, and sure enough, the sky was full of dust, and just when he was puzzled, a team of scout cavalry had rushed over, and he whipped and shouted when he was far away: "Get out of the way!" ”

With the sound of hurried horses' hooves, everyone consciously dodged to the side, and soon, after the cavalry, more than 500 infantry rushed quickly, they held Dage, pulled up the human wall, and blocked everyone from a hundred meters away.
