Chapter 70 Liu Xie takes a concubine
Half a month later, things became more and more frequent. First, the various troops in Hanzhong returned to the court, leaving Chen Dao and Jia Xu to guard Hanzhong. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Ren, Taishi Ci, Yan Yan and other generals, led Zhang Lu's family, his subordinates and some strategists, all returned to the court.
In this case, Liu Xie naturally had to reward the meritorious generals for merit. He was originally a lieutenant and was promoted to general, originally a Sima, and was basically a higher rank. However, he was originally a general, and he was added to the rank of the ranks.
After the banquet for the ministers, Zhang Lu's place was arranged. Although Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang had had a grudge before, in fact, Zhang Lu suffered a loss because Zhang Lu's mother was killed by Liu Zhang. Now Yizhou has become the head of the young emperor Liu Xie, so Zhang Lu naturally has no need to fight to the death.
Liu Xie cannot kill this guy easily. After all, if this guy has a lot of Taoist disciples, some people will inevitably cause trouble in secret if they kill him. Moreover, Liu Xie also needs the Five Dogs of Rice Sect to restrain the people's thoughts, so as not to be taken advantage of by Buddhism, an organization that only knows how to ask for and does not work for production in the future.
As for whether Zhang Xiu was killed by Zhang Lu, it was not his business. Liu Xie could even take the opportunity to kill Yang Song and dismantle the Yang family's stubborn power in Hanzhong. Liu Xie had no reason not to do anything in one fell swoop.
So after secretly discussing with Zhang Lu, the Yang family in Hanzhong was directly uprooted.
Then, Liu Xie sent Zhang Lu to Mount Emei, set it as a dojo of the Five Dogs of Rice Path, and separated the Five Dogs from the unification of the Orthodox Church. Zhang Lu only wanted to develop his Five Dogs, so let him do it well. As for the political gods, don’t participate.
After these things, the scholars' imperial examinations reached the last level, which is the court examination.
There were twenty scholars participating in the court examination, and most of them made Liu Xie’s eyes lit up. Needless to say, Xu Shu even came, Zhuge Jin, Bu Zhi, Wei Jing, Yan Yan, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, Du Ji, and Yang Fu.
There are a few other names he looks familiar with but can't remember. I have to say that these people are all talented people, and they definitely leave a strong mark in history books.
If others knew about these people’s achievements in history, they would definitely understand Liu Xie’s excitement when they saw this list.
Thinking about these people being branded as the disciple of the emperor in the future, Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh. OK! His knowledge is actually very average, but he can't resist the dignity of his identity! And if he doesn't ask about knowledge and only his knowledge, Liu Xie is still not afraid of these people.
Moreover, Liu Xie did not want to take the knowledge of these people. The knowledge of the great scholars of the Imperial Academy need to consider. What he considered was practical.
Liu Xie felt that he was a pragmatic person, and what he had to ask was naturally their views and ideas on politics, military and other aspects.
Liu Xie thinks it is enough for two aspects, two hours, and two articles.
Of course, the background is in the big city of Chengdu, which tests a person's ability to observe. This is somewhat advantageous for scholars living in Chengdu, but if someone does not have his own opinions, it is also used to just use other people's opinions to excuse him. Liu Xie will ask verbally.
Two hours later, Liu Xie asked someone to take away the article, then served lunch, and the lunch was enjoyed in Deyang Hall.
In order not to make these people uncomfortable, Liu Xie naturally did not eat with them, but to dine with other ministers.
After the meal, Liu Xie and the ministers began to approve the articles. In addition to Hu Zhao, there were also powerful people such as Yang Xiu and Zhu Ge, Guo Jia, Fa Zheng, and Lu Su. For these powerful people now or in the future, they would not consider their literary talent, but just look at practical xing.
"Your Majesty, I think this Xu Shu is very suitable for development in the Military Affairs Office!" Guo Jia and Lu Su hurriedly browsed the articles on military governance, and then picked up one of them.
"This Shi Tao is suitable for going to the Grand Secretary's Farming Office..."
"Little Kongming, your elder brother has a great knowledge! He can be the head of a county now..."
In the imperial study room, several people laughed and chatted while reviewing. Fa Zheng smiled and joked with Brother Zhu.
"This Qin Mi's article is beautiful!" Hu Zhao chuckled, "It's a pity that the content is too empty!"
Liu Xie laughed and said, "Isn't Honglu Temple quite suitable for such a talent?" Liu Xie knew about Qin Mi, but in the Romance, when he appeared, he was already quite old and was a master of tongue debate. Such talent is suitable for being a diplomat!
"This Du Ji is not bad either! Your Majesty, these are all talents and each has its own strengths. It is really difficult to choose who is the top scorer!"
"Simple, both the military and political parties have the top scorers, the second place, and the third place. This will allow some great talents to make outstanding achievements in a certain field! It is also beneficial to the parallel differentiation of talents, so that everyone can have more time to study things in their respective fields."
"But in this way, the clothing is not enough!"
Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry! These things have been considered for a long time. Why aren't they enough? And they are different styles."
"So Your Majesty is ready!" Hu Zhao shook his head and chuckled.
"The imperial examination will be placed in the Imperial College next year!"
"Okay!"
In the afternoon, at Deyang Palace, Liu Xie first interviewed these scholars, and after an hour, he asked someone to announce the result.
The top scorer in the military was Xu Shu, the second place was Yang Fu, and the second place was Yan Yan. In terms of governance, the top scorer was Bu Zhi, Du Ji, and the second place was Zhuge Jin.
Many people were first surprised by the three extra quotas, and then they were a little upset because most of them failed to get the three extra quotas.
Although some of these may not be accurate, this is also a helpless thing. For example, Yang Fu, who called him the second place to govern the army, was because he attached a policy of pacifying Xiliang at the back, which made Liu Xie and others shine their eyes when they saw it, and it would be difficult not to give him extra points.
In terms of governance, none of these talents is not suitable, but it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to choose the most suitable talents from these suitable talents. Liu Xie wanted to give his brother-in-law Zhuge Jin some face, but he was really not easy to do it too obvious when he looked at it with so many people.
However, Bu Zhibuzishan is considered one of his brother-in-laws. Although his relationship with Bu Lianshi is a bit far away, he is also considered a brother and sister in the clan.
These are actually decided through voting. The subsequent interviews are just to add some persuasion.
After letting these six top scorers, Tanhua ride a horse around the city of Chengdu, the next day, Liu Xie sent all the people except Bu Zhi and Zhuge Jin to take office. Unlike later generations, these talents in later generations need to be put in the court for a year or two, waiting for the vacancy.
But now, there are many vacancies, which is when Liu Xie urgently needs to use talents.
Xu Shu was directly sent by Liu Xie to Badong to assist Gan Ning. The two of them had much better understanding of Jingzhou than Liu Xie in terms of details. The position of Badong's prefect was still temporarily replaced by Deng Zhi, the Quren Order.
Shi Tao was kept and under the Grand Secretary's farming, he participated in the experiments of crop improvement and crop connection; while Wei Jing was sent to Linjiang to serve as the Linjiang Order; Meng Jian went to Yu to serve as the fish and order; other county magistrates such as Xuanhan, Dangqu, Anhan, Chongguo, and Langzhong were all settled.
Yang Fu was directly sent to Hanzhong to be Jia Xu's deputy, while Bu Zhi was appointed as the Southern Zheng Order, Zhuge Jin was appointed as the Western Cheng Order of Hanzhong, and Du Ji was appointed as the Han Chang Order of Brazil...
The reason why Bu Zhi and Zhuge Jin were left behind was that Liu Xie was going to take a concubine.
At that time, they took eight concubines, Cai Yan, Da Qiao, Bu Lianshi, Zhuge Ling, Du Xiuer, Dong Lin, Fei Shu, and Huang Ming.
