Chapter 347, Xiao He

Chen Ping's appointment was just a simple transfer, and others knew that they were just sighing with emotion, Chen Ping's future was limitless, but with the issuance of another edict, the entire Qin State was blown upside down.

Ying Zheng announced in public that Bai Ziyou was the captain.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Qin State court exploded, and everyone looked at Ziyou with complicated expressions, especially the people in the military were extremely ugly, they wanted to come forward and say something, but Ziyou's achievements over the years were really made by themselves, so they couldn't speak, so the entire Qin State military became weird.

Ying Zheng didn't care about the military's reaction, these people are typical unconvinced, just give them a reason to let him take it orally. After Meng Wu and Wang Jian got the military book written by Ziyou, the two of them watched and studied all night long, and regarded it as a treasure.

Especially Meng Wu, Meng Wu did not leave his hand for a moment, for fear of losing this rare military book, in the Qin military, the major families basically have more or less the inheritance of the family heirloom military book, but only the Meng family does not, now it is rare to have a profound military book to supplement the heritage of the Meng family, Meng Wu naturally does not dare to slack off. But Meng Wu was still happy too early, now he only read two of the "Twenty-four Articles of the Art of War", if he saw that the back was gone, and even when one was still half, I don't know how Meng Wu would react.

And Wang Qian, who is located in Chu State, said with emotion in public

"The king is in the way of using soldiers, and he is also a man of heaven."

With the reaction of Meng Wu and Wang Jian being consciously promoted by Ying Zheng and LĂź Buwei, the entire Qin State knew that Ziyou was not only good at scheming, but also good at commanding troops to fight. And Confucianism no longer pretended, and publicly admitted that there was a military chapter in the "Theory of Action" written by Chu Ziyou, which had a total of four volumes of military books.

For a while, the whole world began to discuss this matter, and some people even called Ziyou an immortal from the sky, just like when the Nine Heavens Xuannu assisted Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor to become the co-master of the human race, to assist the Qin State to dominate the world.

For these gods and demons, the people who lack entertainment methods are naturally happy to hear about it, and the same Ziyou has also made up various legends, what Jiang Taigong was reincarnated, what ancient gods were reincarnated, and so on.

Zhao Guo, Yanmen Pass, Li Mu was listening to Sima Shang talking about all kinds of things that had happened outside these days, and after saying that Ziyou was worshiped as a captain, Sima Shang paused.

"What's wrong?" Li Mu looked at his lieutenant Sima Shang and asked.

"General, is this Mr. Ziyou really the reincarnation of Taigong, the reincarnation of the ancient gods?" Sima Shang asked curiously.

Li Mu looked at Sima Shang, who was full of curiosity, sighed helplessly, and asked rhetorically

"These are all rumors, do you really believe them?"

"It's not that his subordinates believe it, but apart from this statement, there is no way to explain why he was able to write the art of war that Meng Wu and Wang Jian were full of?" Sima Shang shook his head and said, it is not that he really believes such absurd remarks, but that there is no explanation other than such absurd remarks, and when there is no reasonable explanation, no matter how absurd the remarks are, people will gradually accept them.

Ziyou is a Confucian student, but without the slightest experience on the battlefield, he wrote the art of war that made the two military bosses ashamed of themselves, which has to make people think in the direction of gods and demons.

After listening to Sima Shang's explanation, Li Mu was also stunned, it is true that this absurd explanation is indeed more reasonable at this time, but Li Mu shook his head and said

"If he is really the reincarnation of Taigong, the first thing is to settle accounts with the current Qi royal family, instead of helping the Qin State to dominate the world, this is just a ploy of the Qin State."

"What do you mean?" Sima Shang was stunned and asked.

"Among these rumors, in addition to the various deification of Ziyou, the only thing that remains unchanged is that Ziyou was sent by God to help the Qin State dominate the world, and you are beginning to think that these words are true, so what about these people? Especially the people of Wei and Yan who had just been captured? Originally, Wei Wangzeng and Yan Wangxi had a bad reputation among the people, especially Yan Wangxi, who made the ugly thing of fleeing before the battle, which made the people of the entire Yan Kingdom cold.

Now that there are rumors that Ziyou Heaven has descended to help Qin dominate the world, these people will think in their hearts that the Qin State will be orthodox at this time, and their foolish kings are the ones who should be defeated, in their hearts, they will no longer resist the Qin State, and when the Qin State gathers people's hearts, there will be no more turmoil in these places. Li Mu explained in a deep voice.

Sima Shang gasped, his eyes were full of shock, he originally thought that these were just some rumors, but now it seems that this is completely the layout of the Qin State with the help of these rumors.

"Don't forget, the mouths of the world's scholars are controlled by Confucianism, they are the masters of playing with public opinion, and one of the things Ziyou is best at is to use public opinion to boost his own power." Li Mu is also very headache at the moment, now that the Yan State is dead, the next one is either the Chu State or the Zhao State, and the Zhao State is more likely, when he thinks that he will face a person with a heart like Ziyou in the future, Li Mu has a little headache.

Fighting head-on, Li Mu is confident that he can keep Zhao Guo, but he really wants to play some dirty, Li Mu doesn't dare to say that he can prevent Ziyou.

"A Confucian mouth can kill more than the sharpest sword." Li Mu shook his head and said.

When Sima Shang heard Li Mu's words, he immediately thought about it, and then said hesitantly

"General, could some of the rumors that have appeared in Handan recently be related to them?"

"What's going on in Handan?" Li Mu asked a little excitedly, now Handan is Li Mu's life, but whenever there is the slightest change in Handan, Li Mu is very sensitive.

"A few days ago, my personal guard went home to visit relatives, and after he came back from Handan, he talked to Pao Ze about the most talked about things in Handan recently, before Zong Zheng was imprisoned, but there were rumors that Zong Zheng was poisoned by Guo Kai in prison." Sima Shang said.

"What!?"

Li Mu got up suddenly, he also realized one thing, Zhao Tong has lost the news for a long time, and he also knows that Zhao Tong was imprisoned before, but Zhao Tong is the head of the Zhao family after all, even if Zhao Wangqian suffers from brain disease, it is impossible to kill Zhao Tong, Zhao Tong represents the Zhao family, once Zhao Wangqian kills Zhao Bai, this means that Zhao Wangqian is going to break with the Zhao royal family, a king who has a distant relationship with the courtiers and has lost the support of the royal family, can Zhao Wangqian sit firmly on the throne?

Even if Zhao Tong's identity as Zongzheng can't keep him, and there is a prostitute queen, Zhao Wangqian has no brains, but it is impossible for a prostitute to have none, otherwise he would not have seduced Zhao Tong in order to support Zhao Wangqian to ascend the throne when Zhao Wangyan just died. For the queen of prostitution, Zhao Tong is not a face or a white moonlight that cannot be obtained, those are all deceiving children in the book, there are only interests in the adult world, Zhao Wangqian is a notorious concubine, and he can become the king of Zhao, behind which Zhao Tong's Zongzheng credit accounts for half.

"General, this is just a rumor, if Zong Zheng is really poisoned, this matter will definitely not be hidden." Sima Shangan said that he naturally knew the relationship between Zhao Tong and Li Mu, Zhao Tong relied on Li Mu's military power to confront Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai in the court, and Li Mu relied on Zhao Tong in the court to ensure that there would be no problems behind his back.

"I'm afraid it's too late, and when this news comes out, it shows that eighty percent of it is true. Otherwise, according to Guo Kai's character, it is absolutely impossible for this news to leak out. Li Mu closed his eyes slowly, he already believed in his heart that Zhao Tong had been killed.

"So what are we going to do? Without the sect being maintained in the court, general, you are likely to be slandered by those villains! Sima Shang said in a hurry.

Is it possible? I'm afraid that without them, Zhao Wangqian can't tolerate himself anymore, Li Mu thought in his heart.

"Send someone to contact the people left by Zong Zheng at the beginning, I'm safe for the time being." Li Mu said, now that Zhao is isolated, he is the last card of Zhao to resist Qin, no matter how mediocre Zhao Wangqian is, he still knows the importance of his own life.

"No!"

Xianyang, Ziyou was lying on the rocking chair bored, looking at the big and small Kyushu techniques. Although he is now the Tai Lieutenant of the Qin State, in fact, this position does not require him to do anything, when Wei Yu is there, everything is arranged in an orderly manner, and Guan Cao in the Tai Wei Mansion can deal with anything, so he just needs to take a look at it if he has nothing to do, and let people know that he is still alive.

Flame Lingji lay on the rocking chair next to Ziyou and leisurely looked at the book, this kind of book was pushed out by the family, especially after Ziyou came up with the printing technique, this kind of book quickly flooded.

"Today is the day when Enke is out of the list, don't you, the person in charge of the imperial examination, go and take a look?" Flame Lingji put down the "Legend of the Heroines of the Rivers and Lakes" in her hand and said.

"What's there to go? Although I am the person in charge, the examiners are my two senior brothers, and the candidates' answers are finally reviewed by Wenyuan Pavilion, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Hundred Officials, so there is no chaos. Ziyou said.

In order to prevent people from favoritism, Ziyou used all the methods that can be used now, first of all, the name pasting method, all the names of the candidates are pasted, and after the exam papers are collected, the first soldier is personally escorted to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the person personally copies them, and then all the original ones are blocked, and these copyists are also guarded, and then these copied answers are sent to the hands of the reviewers. The whole process is supervised by the people of the Black Ice Terrace, but if any link goes wrong, the Black Ice Terrace can take action directly.

"Then how are you going to promote the imperial examination?" Flame Spirit Ji asked curiously.

"There is no urgency in the imperial examination, so I can only take my time, now Chen Ping is doing a good job, what I want to do now is to improve the literacy rate of the people as much as possible." Ziyou said helplessly, in this era, even food and clothing are a problem, let alone the literacy rate, but fortunately, after continuous efforts, he painted a big cake for those Confucian disciples, and the literacy rate of the Qin State was raised, but the mention was limited.

"I don't understand these things, but how are you preparing for Xiaoyi's affairs?" Flame Spirit Ji looked at the big and small Kyushu techniques in Zi You's hand and asked.

"I'm not sure, so I can only rely on Lao Donghuang Taiyi for this matter." Ziyou said helplessly, the complexity of the big and small Kyushu techniques was far beyond his imagination, and there was no way to learn it in a short period of time.

"Then how are you going to deal with the Yin and Yang family?" Flame Spirit Ji asked curiously.

"I naturally have my own way." Ziyou said with a slight smile.

Flame Spirit Ji rolled her eyes, stopped talking, and continued to look at her notebook. After the time of half the incense, Zhao Gao found Ziyou.

"Sir, this is the final list of Enko this time, the king has already seen it, and said let you go and publish it." Zhao Gao said.

"I'll see." Ziyou stretched out his hand and took the list.

After opening the list, the first name that caught his eye immediately attracted Ziyou's attention, and the word Xiao He made Ziyou unable to take his eyes off.

"Where is this Xiao He?" Ziyou asked.

"It is a person from Fengyi in Chu Guopei County, who participated in the imperial examination two years ago, and then served as a prison official in Luyang. Zhao Gao said.

Hearing Zhao Guo's words, Ziyou knew that this person was not the same name, but the head of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty in history, Xiao He. Xiao He This is the first contribution to the stability of the Han Dynasty, and it can be said that without Xiao He, Liu Bang would not have been able to make a comeback in many failures. Xiao He's talent is beyond doubt, and Xiao He is very suitable for the Qin State after unification.

"What official position are you going to give Xiao He?" Ziyou asked.

"The king is going to let him enter the Wenyuan Pavilion." Zhao Guo said.

"Wenyuan Pavilion? Help me tell the king, Xiao He's talent is definitely not something that Wenyuan Pavilion can tolerate, let him take charge of the imperial examination under me. Ziyou said, he was worried that no one would come to take over the imperial examination, but he didn't expect Xiao He to take the initiative to come up.

"The slave and maid will return to the king." Zhao Gao said.

Ziyou continued to look at this list, wanting to see if there were any other big names in history, but until he finished reading Ziyou, he didn't see other familiar names, thinking about the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty in history, Ziyou wondered if he could all come over and work for himself.

At this time, inside the recruitment hall.

Xiao He was dressed in sackcloth and was watching the rare Qin Fa, at this time Enke had just ended, some of the crazy candidates all went out to relax after the exam, and the candidates in the recruitment hall were left with Xiao He alone, although Xiao He's family had some money and could afford him to study, but when he was helpless, he was a small family after all, and he couldn't get a lot of books to read. This is also the reason why Xiao He participated in the imperial examination of the Qin State.

Just because he passed the imperial examination of the Qin State and joined the Zhaoxian Pavilion, he could read the books in the Zhaoxian Pavilion at will. Xiao Heyi, who participated in the imperial examination for the first time, was only in the middle because of the problem of background, and after studying in the Zhaoxian Hall for more than half a year, he was sent to Luyang. It is precisely because of this half-year study and the experience of serving as an official in Luyang that Xiao He, who lacks foundation, directly enriched his background and won the first place in this exam.
