Luoning County is located in the west of Luoyang, south of Mianchi County, and is said to be the place where Cangjie made characters.

The county magistrate of Luoning County is named Bi Tai, and he is a poor scholar who was selected for the imperial examination.

In this era of gate valve rule, it is not easy for the poor men to live.

Although there are only four major valves in the world in name, it does not mean that there are only four major valves in this world.

Gate valve is the joint name of the door and the gate valve, which refers to the famous family that has been an official for generations.

The gate valve system is the most significant system of selecting officials from the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty in Chinese history, and its actual impact has caused the important official positions of the state to be often monopolized by a few surname families, and the influence of an individual's background on his career is far greater than his own talents.

In other words, even if you have no talent, you are corrupt and stupid, as long as you are a disciple of the gate valve, you will definitely be able to hold an important position. But on the other hand, if he is not a disciple of the gate lord, even if he is high-minded and domineering, he can only be a commoner.

Since Cao Wei realized the so-called nine-grade Zhongzheng system, Zhongzheng generally only paid attention to the knighthood and official position of the assessee's family background, and paid little attention to the real talent, and could not play the role of selecting talents, so that the upper grade had no Han clan and the lower grade had no scholar clan, and the nine-grade Zhongzheng system had become a tool to consolidate the strength of the scholar clan.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty abolished the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and established the imperial examination system, which allowed the scholars of the Han family to progress on the ladder, which has to be said to be a great innovation.

However, this move only weakens the power of the gate valve, but does not mean that the effect of the gate valve can be eliminated.

There is no thousand-year-old dynasty, but there are thousand-year-old gate valves, and the influence of gate valves is already everywhere.

For example, Yuwen Chengfeng, no matter how he is tyrannical and corrupt, as long as the mountain of Yuwen valve does not collapse, Yuwen Chengfeng will not have any big problems. But thinking about a poor scholar like Bi Tai, as long as there is a little problem, it will be magnified to the terrifying Cheng Dù, and then there is only one way to go.

Therefore, Bi Tai, who became a county by virtue of the imperial examination, can still be in Luoning County for six years, which can already be described as a human essence.

But this person has been frowning for a year, especially recently, that coffin face has made his chief bookkeeper and county lieutenant frown.

Bi Tai is a human spirit, so naturally he understands that the situation has become a little bad recently.

Emperor Daye (Yang Guang, his year name is Daye) is no problem in conquering Goryeo, but Emperor Daye has forgotten that "to the outside must first be inside", since Emperor Daye ascended the throne, the establishment of the imperial examination system, the weakening of the family gate valve and so on have offended the family gate valve to the extreme, not to mention anything else, just the pillar of the country, among the four major gate valves, in addition to the Dugu valve or the iron supporter of the imperial power, the other two gate valves have already had a heritage heart.

Bitai seems to have smelled the end times.

However, Bi Tai is just a county magistrate, and he does not have so much power to participate in national affairs, and can only govern the one acre and three points of land under his own hands.

Although Bi Tai thinks that he has the talent to slaughter and assist, after all, he has already woken up to the fact that there is no cold man in the upper grade, so he already has the consciousness of dying in this county commander's position.

However, even if he was the county magistrate, Bi Tai couldn't feel at ease.

Especially lately, there have been more and more worries.

There have been more and more thieves in Yuzhou recently, Zhai Rang of Wagangzhai and Zhu Wei of Nanyang have rebelled, especially the ogre king Zhu Wei, who is known as the "Han thief", is in Nanyang County, which is hundreds of miles away, which makes Bi Tai a little uncomfortable.

Although Bi Tai is not afraid of these thieves, after all, although the soldiers in Luoyang City are only eight hundred, most of them are well-trained, and the county lieutenant 6 Liang is a fierce general promoted by his own hand, so he does not have to worry about ability or loyalty.

But the problem is that Bi Tai knows that even if he makes a small mistake, he will be impeached by the disciples of the gate valve, and then he will say goodbye to his hard-won official position.

The official position Bi Tai doesn't care, what Bi Tai cares about is the retribution of his life.

Therefore, although he did not care about the official position, he still had to work in the position of county magistrate, because only in this way could he realize his ambitions.

How difficult it is for a poor scholar.

Bi Tai was grateful to Emperor Daye (Yang Guang) because he had at least given him a chance.

There are no cold people in the upper grade, and there are no scholars in the lower grades. When one's identity determines one's future, not one's talent, the world becomes the darkest of worlds.

Hundreds of years ago, it was not unreasonable.

It's not that Hu Lu was too strong, but that the Han people at that time were too weak.

It's a pity that knowing is knowing, and a small county order can't change the general trend.

Mo said that Yuwen Valve, Dugu Valve, Song Valve, Li Valve, these top valves, even ordinary county-level valves, can pinch him to death with one finger.

In fact, Bi Tai couldn't even deal with the kings and Zhao valves in the county.

Although Bi Tai knew that these two valves had always been rampant, evil, and unwritten, Bi Tai had no ability to help them.

There is no thousand-year-old empire, but there is a thousand-year-old family, and this sentence is never empty words.

The reason why the Sui Dynasty fell was actually because he weakened the power of the "gate valve".

Insiders and outsiders, although the family gate valve did not play much role in the face of foreign invasion, but it was very good at holding Yang Guang back.

Otherwise, even if the sword master Fu Cailin's swordsmanship is the best in the world, he will not be able to resist Yang Guang's Liaodong army.

Thinking of this, Bi Tai couldn't help but sigh.

"His Majesty is the hero of the world, but he was born at the wrong time. ”

After hearing the news of Yang Xuangan's army, Bi Tai felt a burst of despair, because he knew that this attack on Goryeo would inevitably end up without a problem again.

Pitt seemed to smell a breath of the end times.

Bi Tai had planned whether to summon Xiang Yong and fight Yang Xuangan to the death, but when he knew that Yang Xuangan's entangled army was heading for Luoyang City, he was relieved.

Because he knew that Yang Xuangan would undoubtedly lose this time.

There is a cloud in the art of war, "ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and multiple to divide it".

If you want to capture Luoyang City, the first male city in the world, you can't do it without more than ten times the number of troops and high-level siege equipment.

However, recently, Bi Tai's heart that was originally a little relieved has recently been raised again.

Because, an unknown grass robber actually captured Michi County, which was not far away.

Mianchi County and Luoning City are adjacent to each other, and it is difficult to know whether this unknown force will attack Luoning City, and after not determining their purpose, Bi Tai naturally has trouble sleeping.

Soon, however, Bitai's hanging heart landed again.

Because of his now, it turned out that this group of forces was under Yang Xuangan's subordinates, and the thief Zhang Xiao actually sent all his troops to attack Luoyang.

Bi Tai was sure that that was the entire strength of this gang of grass robbers, and he sent many spies to confirm it repeatedly.

Bi Tai naturally knew that this move would be a meat bun beating a dog - never to go back.

Although Bi Tai still has some hidden worries and seems to feel that something is wrong, he is generally relieved.

Although after he gave the order, the search in Luoning City became tense, but after all, it was still open, and people were allowed to come and go as they pleased.

Because of the war, the number of people who have recently taken refuge in the city has increased, and the soldiers defending the city have a lot of "oil and water".

Due to the war, there are more and more "fat sheep" who come to Luoning City, and Liu Ba, who guards the city, is known for his "good vision", and it can be seen at a glance that this single boy is a "big fat sheep".

Therefore, Liu Ba was ready to sharpen his knives.
