The two hundred and sixty-eighth chapter Mingzhu (1)
As usual, Chang Yuan sat in the yard with a book, and discussed knowledge with several young people living here.
However, today's discussion atmosphere is a bit tense and uneasy, and everyone's mind is no longer on the books.
"I wonder if we are fortunate to be elected as an official in Xinfeng..." A young man, who was eighteen or nineteen, could not help but raise the topic: "It would be great if he could get what he wished..."
"Yes..." the others said one after another.
In fact, few people paid attention to this Xinfeng Public Examination at the beginning.
What really aroused people's enthusiasm was the shock caused by the Xinfeng Order of the Shizhong Officer Zhang Zi after being assassinated again.
The whole Guanzhong knew that the county magistrate of Xinfeng was a Shizhong official, and this Shizhong official could also capture and kill all the people with one enemy.
Such explosive news attracted everyone's attention.
Then, everyone discovered that in Xinfeng there was not just a Shizhong official who was the county magistrate.
What’s even more terrifying is that the emperor’s imperial decree of Changsun, the fief of Xinfeng!
As these two news came to everyone's ears, the ambition made by His Highness Changsun in the Jianzhang Palace.
Establish a mind for heaven and earth!
Make your life for the people!
Keep your unique knowledge for the past saints!
Bring peace for all ages!
When the scholars and officials heard this, their blood was suddenly shaking like chicken blood: The country has its eldest grandson, and the country is hopeful!
Even the Han family, as the rulers and the military aristocrats who held power, all said privately: Changsun is the true country!
It is said that even the emperor praised him when he heard this: The eldest grandson can be trusted to be the most important thing in the ancestral temple!
It was the existence of this sentence that stimulated everyone and their parents and immediately rushed to Xinfeng to participate in the public examination.
Because, as long as you are not a fool, you can see it.
The rise of Changsun is almost unstoppable.
Even... Maybe, in the future, I may respect the crown prince as the emperor, receive the will of his own, ascend to the throne and become emperor, and respect him in the north.
Even if it is not possible, before the uterus car is in its innocence today, it is very likely that it will be directly appointed as the crown prince.
Countless palace rumors have also confirmed this possibility.
In other words, the officials admitted to the public examination this time may have the opportunity to compete for the future qualifications of the imperial crown prince, close minister and even important officials!
This is amazing!
Minister Qiandi, each one is a two thousand stone alternative!
As long as the ministers who were in the palace were alive and could survive until Yuanguang, there would be no one who could not be two thousand stones.
If you can win Changsun’s joy and value it, Jiuqing will not be able to covet it.
Even if you don’t consider this, with the military power of this Zhang Shizhong and his status in front of the emperor, it will be as long as three or five years or as short as one or two years, and you will definitely get the opportunity to lead the army alone.
At that time, following such a golden thigh and making some contributions on the battlefield will be enough to glorify the family and enhance the family liner!
As a result, almost half of the landlords and powerful men and children of the literati and officials from the Gyeonggi area came to hear the news.
Xinfeng City was filled in instantly.
It is precisely because of this that everyone is uneasy.
How fierce the competition is for the 1,400 candidates?
Even now, after passing the tests, more than 500 people are still left.
According to rumors, there is only one hundred officials in Xinfeng.
In other words, four out of every five people would say goodbye to this ladder to the sky.
But if the successful ones are far ahead from now on, they will at least have the possibility of leapfrogging the class.
Perhaps if you meet again in three or five years, at most seven or eight years, maybe the person who lost the election will still be white in a common man, but the person who got the election has already sealed and ribbon in his hand, held high in the Mingtang, and called his own palace, and held the land of a county.
That's why the interview results will be made public as soon as possible.
No one can calm down anymore.
Even Chang Yuan was nervous.
He took a huge risk to come here.
I gave up the honor of Qimenlang and came to Xinfeng to take a gamble.
Originally, his future had long been fixed.
By next year, the Qimen Army will be selected. This is undoubtedly true. As a loyal minister, the orphan adopted by the emperor in Shanglinyuan, as long as the physical conditions are met, he will definitely be selected as the Qimen Army.
Then, he served seriously in the Qimen Army. After three or five years, he was slowly promoted to the team to lead Sima and even the captain.
You can go out to the frontier and serve as the chief lieutenant of a certain place or the captain of a certain position.
After years of hardship and baptism in the frontier, more than ten years later, they will be almost qualified to lead a single army to follow a general to fight.
Then, through brave battles, accumulating merits, and being promoted to a general who can lead the side alone.
The whole process takes about twenty years.
As long as you have the ability and have good luck, you can basically do it.
But Chang Yuan couldn't wait and didn't want to wait for so long!
More than ten years ago, when he was a child, his father followed Su Wu to the Xiongnu and never knew his life and death.
Everyone said that his father was loyal to the country.
But Chang Yuan doesn't believe it.
Neither willing to believe it.
He believed that his father must be alive.
And right in the desert, waiting for yourself to greet him.
Therefore, he can no longer follow the rules and follow the promotion step by step.
He needs to be a confidant of a nobleman who may lead his troops to fight.
Therefore, when the news from Xinfeng reached his ears, he gave up his originally stable future as the Qimenlang and came to Xinfeng.
However, when he arrived in Xinfeng, he realized how many heroes there were in the world!
Although he is always a hero, he is also a hero.
But now I don't have much confidence.
Not to mention the other person, although the true noble families and the children of the marquis and ministers did not participate in this public examination.
However, it attracted the children of grassroots heroes and scholars from almost the entire Gyeonggi area.
If you choose one of the five, you may not be able to choose.
If you miss this opportunity, you will meet such an important figure next time and openly select officials and subordinates. I don’t know how many years you have to wait.
Thinking of this, Chang Yuan lowered his head and sighed quietly.
At this moment, a strange man suddenly heard the voice from outside the yard: "I wonder if the place where I live is Wu Yuan, a scholar from Hedongyang County, Changyuan, and Zhang Ci, a scholar from Huxian County?"
When Chang Yuan and others heard this, they quickly stood up and responded, "We are..."
As he said that, someone went and opened the gate of the courtyard.
But I saw a civil servant in his forties, with a few officials, looking at everyone with a smile, bowing and saying, "I dare to invite Wu Sheng, Chang Sheng and Zhang Sheng to meet..."
Chang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward with the other two people and bowed: "Students have met Ming Gong, how dare you ask Ming Gong what it is?"
Everyone's breathing was a little rapid, and their chests were even more volatile.
He heard the other party smile and said, "I am the Chief of the Xinfeng dynasty Chen Wannian. He is in charge of the order of His Highness Changsun and the Shizhong, the Shizhong, who is the order of the Xinfeng Order, Zhang Gong, and he comes here to congratulate the three of them. He must be elected as Xinfeng officials. Please prepare the household registration documents as soon as possible and rush to the Xinfeng official office before noon tomorrow to report that His Highness Changsun and General Zhang will come to the lecture!"
"I have to choose!" Chang Yuan clenched his fists, and the passion in his heart suddenly surged.
And the other two were even more unbearable and were so excited that they jumped around.
The other young people living in the hospital lowered their heads and were very depressed.
"We lost the election..." A young scholar bit his lip, and tears in his eyes suddenly flowed down.
He knew that what he missed was more than an opportunity to make a fortune.
I missed a wise ruler and an opportunity to serve the wise ruler!
This is particularly critical for literati.
Since the Warring States Period, with the bankruptcy of the old ministers and nobles over the monopoly of power, the literati class has risen.
The names of Confucianism, Law, Huang, Lao and Mo are mixed together.
No matter which school of scholars, they dream of assisting a wise ruler and serving under a wise ruler who respects and values himself.
This formed a set of values unique to the literati class.
In this set of values, scholars have the power to become qualified to choose the kings they serve.
As the saying goes, if there is a way in the country, you will be a good official, and if there is no way, you will be remembered.
Even a little slower, he even shouted such a rebellious word in that era, "The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world."
Entering the Han Dynasty, the scholars' choice was left with the only old Liu family.
But the spiritual legacy of scholars in the Warring States Period still exists.
The values of the Warring States scholars still exist in people's minds.
