The news of the Battle of Chuijiang reached the Chu family.

Only then did the ancestor of the Chu family realize that there were not so many weak defeating the strong in the world.

He originally thought that as long as he had the courage, he would not be able to break into a world, but now he knew that hard power could overwhelm everything.

Jian Jiu is like this to him, and the Holy Dynasty is the same to Yue Di.

There is nothing in the body, but a tiger guts;

Bloody battles on the red sand, Wuyue is not too light.

He sat alone on the stairs outside the courtroom.

Even if you are full of guts, so what? Changge and arrows will not stop being sharp because you roar.

The ancestral land of the Chu family is located in the innermost part of Baichuan City, with a high terrain, almost overlooking the entire city.

He looked at the whole city, and he saw a group of children chasing each other and flying kites, he saw a few cats sneaking into a farmer's house and secretly licking the meat hanging from the beams, and he saw an old man about his own age sitting in a rocking chair with his children and grandchildren around his knees.

He let out a long sigh, a little envious.

With a blue light in his eyes, he suddenly realized that the lives of these ordinary people were also interesting.

He looked out of the city, and he saw a few fish in a pond outside the city, buried deep under the green aquatic plants, and suddenly, a few common birds flew down from the sky, whose names he did not recognize, and pounced into the pond, but they were empty.

He saw a gray rabbit hiding in the dead wood, dodging the talons of the mountain eagle.

This grandmaster-level figure smiled, and for the first time he calmed down to look at the world that he thought was weak before, but he didn't expect it to be so interesting.

The blue light in his eyes disappeared, and he looked down at He Haoming's letter in his hand.

He thought about it, made a decision, stood up, put down something that had been imposed on him, and suddenly felt relieved.

A shackle in his body was opened, and a blue light suddenly flashed outside his body, which was fleeting.

The ancestor of the Chu family walked towards the inner courtyard.

In the attic, green bamboo, a white-clothed gentleman in front of the window is reading hard.

The ancestor of the Chu family didn't disturb him, just quietly watched him at the door.

The sound of the wind, the scorching sun, the murmuring of running water and the chirping of insects suddenly disappeared, and the young man concentrated on reading, and in his world, there were only books and knowledge.

After about an hour, the young man stretched his waist, he looked out the window, rubbed his eyes, the breeze was blowing, and the murmuring of water and insects and birds in his ears seemed to be the sound of heaven.

Turning his head suddenly, he saw his grandfather leaning against the door.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" He was slightly surprised, and immediately welcomed the ancestor of the Chu family in.

The ancestor of the Chu family smiled, found a place to sit down at random, squinted at Chu Tianjiao, and said with a smile: "I just came to see you." ”

Chu Tianjiao immediately poured a cup of tea for his grandfather.

The ancestor of the Chu family picked up the book that the young man was reading, turned it over, and was slightly surprised.

On the cover of the book is written four large characters "Governing the Country".

This book has long been listed as a banned book, and this book was written by the remnants of the previous dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country.

In the book, it is bluntly said that the Holy Emperor is a martial artist, and he does not understand the strategy of governing the country, talks about how to govern the country in various dynasties and generations, and wantonly insults the Holy Emperor for only arriving land.

Obviously, the disobedience in the book angered the Holy Emperor, and the Holy Emperor directly punished his nine clans and listed the book as a banned book.

Although most of this book has insults to the Holy Emperor, but the author has a good eye, and he has indeed seen a lot of problems at the beginning of the founding of the country, and has put forward solutions one by one.

The Holy Emperor is not the emperor of the world, he is the emperor of the troubled times, and this country is cut down little by little by him with his sword and soldiers.

The ancestor of the Chu family glanced at his grandson a little strangely, and Chu Tianjiao's gaze also met him, and his eyes shone brightly.

"I always thought you were learning the same thing as those people in Confucius Temple, but I didn't expect it!"

The ancestor of the Chu family put down the book and did not blame him for anything.

"Those things are just a shortcut to find a position, and when you reach a certain position, you naturally can't learn from the pedantic set of the masters. What is the saying of 'governing a big country is like cooking a small freshie'? The art of governing the country lies in the combination of kings and tyrants, so that we can promote production internally and promote our prestige externally. If you do nothing, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the iron hooves of the Quartet will step on the gate of Chang'an. ”

Chu Tianjiao said loudly, at this time, the ancestor of the Chu family suddenly felt a sense of iron and blood in his grandson, which was magnificent and vast.

"But if you don't learn their things, no matter how many books you read, you can't get to where you should be, it's in vain. ”

Chu Tian said proudly: "Grandpa, don't worry, if I can participate in the imperial examination, I will definitely be able to win three yuan in a row and win the championship in one fell swoop!"

His eyes radiated their own light, but soon, his eyes immediately dimmed.

He also knew that the Chu family was about to start a war with the Holy Dynasty, and he could only think about the road to the imperial examination.

The ancestor of the Chu family naturally knew, and then smiled and said, "What if you can participate in the imperial examination?"

Chu Tian looked at his grandfather fiercely, his eyes burning.

"Then I, Chu, will live up to the world!" Chu Tian said proudly.

"What are you doing as an official for?"

"Peaceful people, protect the country, and eternal peace!"

The ancestor of the Chu family was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he still underestimated this grandson, although his cultivation talent was not good, but this kind of bearing, even he was ashamed!

Then he laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay! You have to remember what you said, isn't it just a imperial examination, you can go!"

Chu Tianjiao's face appeared with joy, and the ancestor of the Chu family said in a deep voice: "But your name is really a bit flamboyant, do you have a table?"

The ancestor of the Chu family rarely cared about his family before, he thought that as long as he was there, the Chu family would not die, and the family would be fine. But now, I found out that I didn't even know if my grandson had a table.

Chu Tianjiao shook his head and said, "No." ”

The ancestor of the Chu family patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "What you just said is to reassure the people, protect the country, and maintain peace for all generations, so how about I give you a watchword?"

When Chu Tianjiao heard that he could participate in the imperial examination, he was overjoyed and nodded heavily.

The ancestor of the Chu family thought for a while, thought for a while and said: "Then you are a scholar, be honest, be honest!"

"Chu Shilian?" Chu Tianjiao said, and he was immediately overjoyed. Maybe he doesn't know that this name will leave a strong mark on history in the future!

......

The ancestor of the Chu family went to the inn and obediently drank inexpensive tea downstairs, which frightened the sailors of the shopkeeper to tremble.

He looked upstairs, where a guard came down.

"The gentleman is still taking a nap, and he is tired of waiting a little longer. ”

The Sect Master Elder who followed the Chu Family Ancestor was a little angry, this was the second time they had heard such words.

The ancestor of the Chu family glanced at him, he let out a heavy breath, glanced coldly at the guards who came down to report, and turned his head.

The ancestor of the Chu family squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then I'll just wait." ”

About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Ping stretched his waist and walked downstairs, and he glanced at the angry Chu family elder.

The ancestor of the Chu family glanced at him, and then he walked out with interest.

"How is it, have you figured it out?" Chen Ping took a sip of tea and raised his eyes to look at the ancestor of the Chu family.

The ancestor of the Chu family nodded.

Chen Ping looked at the ancestor of the Chu family carefully at this time, said "huh" softly, and then said: "If I didn't know that there was no spell to change my face, otherwise I would have changed someone directly in the future." ”

The ancestor of the Chu family smiled slightly.

Chen Ping asked tentatively: "My strength is low, but I can also feel it, you are different from before, could it be that you have broken through?"

"It's just a fluke, breaking the sea (grandmaster) realm. ”

Chen Ping looked at the ancestor of the Chu family rather strangely.

Although his strength is low and not worth mentioning, he also knows that the gap between the four realms of Tongqi, Huixi, Youye (Little Grandmaster), and Pohai (Grandmaster) is quite large, and after Youye, there are three realms of upper, middle and lower, and the gap between each small realm is as big as that between heaven and earth.

As far as he knew, the six grandmasters of the Han and Qin families were all Lower Realm Grandmasters, and he secretly said that although he was one-armed now, he could break through, and the six Lower Realm Grandmasters were just that, and it was not impossible to fight.

"Since you have already broken through, why are you still here?" Chen Ping was a little strange.

The ancestor of the Chu family smiled faintly and said, "Sometimes, I figure out some things and let go of some things before I can break through." After breaking through, I found that the world is so big, and the battle for this place is really meaningless. ”

Although Chen Ping didn't know what he meant by this, as long as he received the holy decree and was willing to enjoy the blessings honestly, he didn't bother to chew on the meaning of these words.

But he also knew that this Chu family ancestor would definitely not be so simple.

He took a slow sip of tea and spat out two words: "Condition." ”

The ancestor of the Chu family said lightly: "Although I don't have the intention of competing for power now, my Chu family can't still plant a few pieces of broken land in Chang'an after a hundred years." I don't care, but my Chu family always has something to come out of?"

"Do you want to be filial and honest, what official position do you want, and what position do you occupy?" Chen Ping was a little puzzled.

The ancestor of the Chu family shook his head and said: "Although the parents are officials, the descendants can enter the government through filial piety and honesty, but since my Chu family has no identity, it is naturally not suitable for this set." ”

"What about you?"

"My son of the Chu family, I have my ability, and I have my job!"

Chen Ping suddenly understood, and he also admired this old man Chu a little.

He knew that the head of the Chu family was competing for a place in the imperial examination. For ordinary people, this quota is indeed available to everyone, but a rule of the Holy Dynasty blocked the way of his Chu family.

For more than three generations, there are those who rebel against the imperial court, who are farmers for life and are not allowed to enter the office!

But the ancestor of the Chu family could obviously use Baichuan to negotiate more conditions with the Holy Emperor, but he didn't expect that he only wanted something that ordinary people could have.

Chen Ping nodded, stood up and said, "Three days later, the Holy Emperor's Decree will arrive at the Chu family!"

......

Three days later, a holy decree was issued from Chang'an, announcing to the world.

"Soon after the world is decided, disasters arise in all directions. However, there are very few people in the temples who are clever in calculations, and now the promotion of filial piety and honesty is abolished, and the imperial examination is opened, so that all people in the world, whether they are old or young, can participate in the imperial examination! If there is a traitor, within three generations, he must be guaranteed by three officials of the court before he can participate in the imperial examination! Only meritocracy is appointed!

As soon as the notice came out, the world was in an uproar, and many people with lofty ideals who were implicated by their ancestors immediately cried with joy, and the Holy Dynasty also laid the foundation for stubborn resistance many years later because of this notice.

......

sub-hours.

Chen Ping went to the old house of the Chu family to read it, and even, the ancestor of the Chu family knelt down on his knees and passed the holy decree.

Chen Ping looked at the old man, looked at the relieved Chu family around him, and smiled faintly.

How many people were reminded of the decision of the ancestor of the Chu family at the beginning, they were different from the Han family, there were only three people in the Han family, so they naturally pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers, but the Chu family couldn't.

In the crowd, a young scholar turned red and clenched his fists.

He knew that this was a concession made for him by his grandfather, and he must not let his grandfather down!

"Why did you take the order in the middle of the night?" asked Chen Ping a little strangely.

The ancestor of the Chu family smiled mysteriously: "I'll give you a big gift!"

......

The river crumbled, and many soldiers began to stir.

After the urging of the ancestor of the Han family, the 30,000 soldiers who were "borrowed" from the Chu family were finally about to arrive in Chuijiang, and he and his own Han Shihai were both relieved.

Estimating the footsteps, the 30,000-strong army will arrive at dawn.

At this time, Xu Changan was meditating and cultivating in the tent, Xiaobai was lying on the side squinting, making a snoring sound, it was also cultivating, but it didn't need to meditate like Xu Changan.

Xu Changan didn't know at this time that after dawn, a merit would fall from the sky and hit him!
