Following.

The royal palace, the imperial study.

Sun Quan's expression was a little solemn, sitting on the side of the bookcase, and standing in front of him were Zhang Zhao, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhu Zhi, Kuai Liang, Gu Yong, the secretary of the ministry, and Cai Yong, the director of the Department of Education.

"I hope that the first imperial examination can be held this year."

Sun Quan's amber eyes swept over several people, and said in a deep voice: "The so-called imperial examination is to open a science and take scholars, under a fair and just situation, using the big examination as a means to select talents and use their abilities, and send new official seedlings to the Wu State court!" ”

"Open a school?"

Zhang Zhao was still carefully looking at every detailed strategy of the imperial examination, and he was also a little silent when the system of electing officials, which had been maintained by filial piety for hundreds of years, was overthrown.

He raised his head and looked at Sun Quan's resolute face carefully, this young monarch really can't be underestimated, one after another, never knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

When he served Sun Jian, he was never so tired.

"Questions?" Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao, the first assistant of the cabinet, back then Wu was in the world, one person was above ten thousand people.

"I agree to give it a try!"

Zhang Zhao groaned for a while, and carefully read the policies of the imperial examination before agreeing.

If he had objected a few years ago, after all, at that time, there were not many scholars combined, and I don't know how many people came to take the exam.

Now you can give it a try, today, Wu Guo's academies are prosperous, not to mention Jiangdong Academy, Jinling Academy, these two high-scale institutions, others, Lumenshan Academy, Jiaozhou Academy, Liaodong Academy, are all colleges with talent delivery.

Coupled with the college policy promoted by the Education Department this year. A higher academy was established in each county to spread the number of scholars among the common people.

The imperial examination is not necessarily a good system for electing officials.

"The king, such a rash reform of the election system of officials will inevitably overthrow the previous system of promoting filial piety and honesty, and many Confucians have filial piety quotas in their hands. Will it be ......"

Kuai Liang didn't say anything, but everyone present understood the meaning.

The word right, not many people can escape, those who are not usually in the temple to read Confucianism, the only right in their hands is to hold the quota of filial piety.

Suddenly there is no one, which naturally causes some dissatisfaction.

It's not easy to mess with readers, especially those who are famous for reading, just look at Sun Quan today, he is a king of Wu. Seeing those old immortals who have become famous by reading, they have to be respectful.

It seems that a Confucian of Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan's level can screw him up and beat him, and after hitting the left cheek, he has to obediently stick his right cheek to it.

These great Confucians, which one is not a protégé all over the world, if they make a complete trouble, it will be three points more violent than the storm of the previous law change.

"It depends on Director Zei's ability!"

Sun Quan squinted slightly. looked at his old father-in-law and said with a smile.

Several people in the imperial study heard this. Suddenly, a pair of eyes looked at Cai Yong.

"Wechen suddenly understood, the king had worked hard to lure Wechen out of Jiangdong Academy with the big plan of the Education Department, and it turned out to be for today's play!"

Cai Yong's complexion was not very good-looking, so he almost didn't blow his beard and stare at his eyes.

It's been calculated again!

To return the way of the other to the other, this move. Sun Quan's pure furnace green.

Sun Quan personally reformed the imperial examination system, that is, against the great Confucianism and the entire Shilin.

However, Cai Yong is a great Confucian, and he is also the top Confucian in the Wu Kingdom. If you want to talk about protégés in the world, who can compare to him, if there is a imperial examination system reformed by Cai Yong himself, even if it is a storm in Shilin, it is just a dispute between scholars.

"There is one step, look at three steps, and you can't accept it!"

Zhang Zhao and the others sighed a little in their hearts, they didn't understand why Sun Quan, who had always been more filial, pulled the old Cai Yong into the troubled waters of the court with a dead face.

It turned out to be for such a day.

Indeed, with Cai Yong's strong support, even if the reader has an opinion, he can only debate with Cai Yong, and debating with Cai Yong, such a great Confucian, isn't it an act of looking for death.

"Huh!"

Sun Quan smiled: "As the so-called capable people are many, doesn't my father want to watch the implementation of the imperial examination policy?" ”

"Weichen naturally wants to see the implementation of the imperial examination system, open the imperial examination system, treat everyone equally, there is no distinction between the poor scholars, it is a rare ideal in Weichen's heart, but the king uses this account of Weichen, Weichen can remember it in his heart!"

If it weren't for the fact that so many ministers were here, full of poetry and books, and some Cai Yong, who was stubborn in etiquette, had to save some face for Sun Quan, the king, he would have turned his face and become mad, and he would never have gritted his teeth so much.

Lao Taishan and his son-in-law competed, and several giants in the cabinet couldn't control it, and Zhang Zhao and they could only stand aside and watch their noses and noses.

"King, it's not impossible to take the imperial examination, but this year's world, the township examination and the general examination, do you have to let it go!"

After half a ring, Gu Yong said in a deep voice: "At present, there are not so many scholars in the countryside!" ”

The imperial examination policy proposed by Sun Quan was based on the mature imperial examination system developed in the Ming Dynasty, and was divided into three levels, from the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination.

However, although there are many people who read now, it is not obvious compared to the huge territory of Wu State, and it is still in the stage of rare animals.

The palace test is okay, but the township test and the meeting test are a little immature.

"Lone has thought about it!"

Sun Quan nodded and said: "The first imperial examination held this year, after all, is only a transition, and it is still necessary to give some face to those old immortals who have studied all their lives, so Lone combined the imperial examination system and the filial piety system of this session. ”

"No!"

When the ministers heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Quan was able to make a transition period, which was already a step back, so that, coupled with Cai Yong's influence, this policy. The probability of implementation has reached 90 per cent.

"The first imperial examination, Zhang Zhao, you have to pay attention to it!" Sun Quan squinted and said.

"Wechen understands!"

Zhang Zhao thought for a while, and then said: "This time, the imperial examination must be presided over by the Department of Education in person, and the cabinet, we will exclude Kuai Liang Cifu as an auxiliary examiner." And Gu Yong, the secretary of the ministry, is also an auxiliary examiner! ”

"It's a good arrangement!"

Sun Quan's eyes swept over the three of them, and said in a deep voice: "This imperial examination, the three of you are responsible, the examination will start in the capital in September, but you have to prepare now, as for what to test, you decide for yourself!" ”

"Weichen takes the order!"

Cai Yong and the three of them had solemn faces, nodded hurriedly, and bowed.

"Zhu Zhi stayed first. Lone still has something to say, you can go back and prepare! Sun Quan waved his hand and said lightly.

"No!"

Several people left the imperial study, and Zhu Zhi stayed alone.

"Uncle Junli, what we just said just now is only the liberal arts examination, and you are responsible for the martial arts examination!"

Sun Quan handed the file of the martial arts examination to Zhu Zhi: "This year is only to hold the liberal arts examination, and next year the civil and military examinations will be selected for the imperial examination!" ”

"Martial arts?"

Zhu Zhi looked at the record on the file with a pair of bronze bell-like eyes, and the martial artist was in the army. His expression became solemn: "Isn't this a matter of the military?" ”

"Yes!"

Sun Quan nodded and said, "So you have to communicate with the military on behalf of the cabinet." The students of the martial arts examination will become soldiers, but you don't have to be too anxious, this year is just to see the reaction of the liberal arts examination, the martial arts examination will be held at least tomorrow, you still have time, you can slowly reconcile! ”

"No!"

Zhu Zhi nodded.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

May is the alternation of spring and summer. The weather is mild, but June is like a fire.

Entering June, the calm situation in the world also began to be restless, and on June 2, Ma Teng swore to Chang'an City. The Northern Expedition to Hedong Jinguo claimed to have sent 300,000 troops.

The situation in Guanzhong has changed greatly, and the situation has changed.

As the land of abundance, under the calm surface, the undercurrent tide has also begun.

Chengdu City.

Deng Zhi is a young man in his early twenties, and his position is a small scribe in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his job is to pass the book from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the royal case of the king.

Every day when the Prime Minister's Mansion plays the book of Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, he can see it again, and he knows the operation of Shu well.

After a day of heavy and dreary work, he dragged his somewhat tired body, as usual, back to his home, an ordinary courtyard in the west of the city.

At the beginning of the late Han Dynasty, he was only in his early tens, and he had come to Shudi, and he had gone around all these years, but he had achieved nothing.

However, since he met a noble man four years ago, his fortunes have changed dramatically.

"Your Excellency!"

Deng Zhi's schedule was very regular, and he had just fallen asleep with his clothes together, when a ghostly figure appeared in his room.

"Du Yi, if you don't scare a certain family, you will die?"

Deng Zhi uncovered the futon, stood up with his clothes closed, glanced at the man in black hidden in the night, and said coldly.

"Adult, the small one is unintentionally lost!"

Du Yi smiled, since Liao Hao left, he and Deng Zhi have been one and the same, and they have been in charge of the affairs of the Thousand Households of Shu Kingdom, and they have a deep friendship.

"Say, what is the matter with coming late at night?"

Deng Zhi lit the oil lamp, sitting at the head of the desk in all directions, his calm body exuding a trace of the wind of a general.

There is no urgency, Du Yi will not come to disturb him, after all, Chen Deng's cripple is looking for the location of Jinyiwei in the whole city, and any trace of exposure will make Jinyiwei annihilated in Chengdu City.

"Liu Bei went to the military camp in the north of the city tonight!" Du Yi's face became solemn, and he said in a low voice: "He and Wei Yan have already met with a password!" ”

"What about Zhuge Liang?"

"The Prime Minister's Mansion who also left quietly, but he didn't appear in the military camp in the north of the city!" Du Yi said: "He went to Pang Xi's mansion!" ”

"Pang Xi has tens of thousands of elites in his hands, sitting in Brazil!" Deng Zhi's eyes lit up: "Zhuge Kongming actually hit him with the idea, his vision is really good!" ”

"Will he succeed?" Du Yi asked.

"I don't know!" Deng Zhi shook his head and said, "When Commander Liao was still in Shu Kingdom, he wooed Pang Xi once, but he failed, and a few shadows died!" ”

"In this way, Pang Xi is still loyal to the Shu Kingdom!"

"Maybe it's loyalty and righteousness that will give Zhuge Kongming a chance!"

Deng Zhi said coldly: "Anyone with a little talent can see that Wu will attack Shu sooner or later, Liu Zhang can't stabilize Wu's offensive, and if he wants to find someone who can stop Wu, if you think about it, there is only Liu Xuande!" ”

"I don't understand what you're saying!"

Du Yi is a martial artist, and he was a little dizzy when he heard it.

"You don't have to understand, I just understand, you go and do something for me!" Deng Zhi didn't elaborate, his face gave a hint of coldness: "Zhuge Liang went to Pang Xi's mansion to find a way to let Huang Quan know, by the way, try not to use the power of Jinyiwei, Chen Deng watched it closely." ”

"Understood!" Du Yi nodded.

"Looks like they can't sit still!"

Deng Zhi smiled coldly and said: "It's okay, we should also move, the king's will, within three months, we must let them move, time is running out, Du Yi, inform Commander Liao that the plan can be launched!" ”

"Yes!"

Du Yi nodded, a pair of gloomy eyes exuding a faint coldness.

"That's right!"

Deng Zhi continued: "Summons Jinyiwei, quickly find out where Zhang Ren's training is now!" ”

"You want to transfer Zhang Ren back?"

"I'm a little official, how can I have this ability!"

Deng Zhi smiled and said: "Besides, if Zhang Ren comes back at this time, it will inevitably deter Liu Bei, and they may not dare to take action, I need that after Liu Bei killed Liu Zhang and died, Zhang Reneng quickly appeared in Chengdu City."

We must grasp this time well, otherwise something will go wrong, Zhuge Kongming is too terrifying, if he is not in the light, our Jinyi Wei is in the dark, I'm afraid we have all been calculated! ”

He was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he had some intuitive contact with Zhuge Kongming's whole person, and this person's wisdom was somewhat unexpected to him.

Huang Quan couldn't suppress this person, under his gaze, in a short period of time, one-third of the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion had been co-opted by Zhuge Kongming. (To be continued......)
