…
"Master, master, why are you here! I've been looking for you so desperately!" The old man was grabbed by someone in a trance, and he gathered himself to see that it was his coachman. Walked a small half of the city. ...,
The groom was also in a hurry, and he took the master to Shouchun under the order of the second lady, but who would have thought that the master would get lost, obviously he pointed the way to the master. If he hadn't been lucky enough to find the master, he would be finished.
Under the leadership of the groom, the old man came to the gate of a mansion in the inner city of Shouchun. The name of this mansion was Zhou Mansion.
"Mr. Qiao!" Zhou Yu was really in the mansion and said when he saw the old man clasping his fists at the old man.
But the old man didn't return the gift, which made Zhou Yu a little puzzled, it shouldn't be, Mr. Qiao is a person who regards etiquette as his life, or he doesn't pay much attention to profit and official position, but he cares about reputation very much. Even if the thing called interest is an acquaintance, he has to come with Qiao Gong formally. But the old man kept silent, just when Zhou Yu was about to ask. The old man over there spoke.
"Gongjin, do you think there are exactly the same people in this world?" the old man asked Zhou Yu.
"The same person?" Zhou Yu was very puzzled.
"Well, they look very similar, even their behavior is the same." The old man looked at Zhou Yu and said.
"Twins?" Zhou Yu was a little confused. It shouldn't be. If we talk about twins, then there are differences. For example, the behavior and personality are also different.
"Mr. Qiao, what did you see today?" Zhou Yu asked suspiciously. "There are no identical leaves in this world!"
"Yeah, how can there be the same leaves in this world. She is already dead. Forget it. Don't think about it!" The old man shook his head to shake off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and the old man returned After a while, "Gongjin, where's Yue'er?" The old man became concerned about his other daughter.
"Yue'er is not in the mansion!" Zhou Yu said to the old man.
"Not in the mansion?" The old man looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously.
"Well, he's staying with the old lady in my elder brother's mansion!" Zhou Yu said to the old man. The reason why the old man came to Yangzhou Shouchun this time was because Mrs. Wu was about to have a big birthday. relationship, the elderly must participate. The old lady even adopted Qiao Yue as a foster daughter.
"En!" The old man nodded.
"Mr. Qiao, you are tired from the journey, you should go and rest first!" Zhou Yu said to Mr. Qiao.
"There is Lao Gongjin!" Qiao Gong nodded without refusing. Left with the housekeeper. Zhou Yu looked at the old man's back, "Yue'er, as a brother, I can only help you get this far, and it will depend on the day after tomorrow if it will be successful."
…
These days, Liu Mang is so busy that he is almost dizzy, not only the Yangzhou University Examination, but also another matter, that is, Mrs. Wu, Liu Mang’s mother-in-law, is going to have a big birthday, so Liu Mang has to prepare in advance , he is the king of Shu, and he is watched by everyone. Some etiquette can not be spent, even if Liu Mang doesn't want to go. Mrs. Sun at home will forgive him.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wu's birthday, as the king of Shu, Liu Mang doesn't need to come at the beginning, he just needs to go directly to have dinner after those ceremonies are over.
"Xiang'er! Let's go!" Liu Mang can only bring one wife to the future banquet. It should be Miss Lu, the official wife, but this is Mrs. Wu's banquet. Naturally, Miss Lu gave it to Sun Shangxiang, and let Sun Shangxiang and Liu Mang went together.
"En!" Sun Shangxiang nodded, his husband was very kind to him, and he attended all the mother's banquets.
Marquis Wu’s mansion is full of people. Today is Mrs. Wu’s birthday. Originally, with Sun Ce’s prestige and status, not so many people came here, but Mrs. Wu has the status of the mother-in-law of His Highness the King of Shu, so basically As long as it is not a rotating official, everyone, big or small, is here, but the entire Wuhou mansion, a big house with seven entrances and seven exits, cannot accommodate so many people.
There are dozens of tables above the mansion, and there are hundreds of tables outside.
Qiao Yue looked at the people coming and going at the door in a quiet corner, as if she was looking for something.
"Don't worry, Yue'er, he will definitely come." Zhou Yu walked behind Qiao Yue and said to Qiao Yue.
"En!" Qiao Yue nodded.
"His Royal Highness King Shu is here!" Just as she was expecting, a porter with a loud voice called out.
Liu Mang's figure gradually appeared at the gate, the soldiers in front cleared the way, Guanhai Zhoucang stood behind him, Liu Mang was sitting on the dragon pan, and he fell down when he reached Wu Hou's mansion.
This is not because Liu Mang is hypocritical, but because Liu Mang is trying to save face for Marquis Wu. If Liu Mang comes here directly, it means that Marquis Wu’s hospitality is not good enough, and maybe our King of Shu is angry and dissatisfied with Marquis Wu. .
But this way the soldiers clear the way and come on the dragon pan, this is the biggest way to save face, this is to tell everyone that his Highness the King of Shu has come down, and it is also to tell everyone that this Wuhou Mansion is a very close family with Liu Mang .
"Your Majesty welcomes His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Before Liu Mang entered the gate, someone came out of the gate to greet him. The owner of Wu Hou's mansion, Wu Hou Sun Ce, was behind him Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others. People, next to them is the civil and military of Yangzhou. Liu Mang saw that Zhuge villager also came to join in the fun, but Xu Shu didn't come, he didn't have time, and neither did Lu Su. He was afraid that his face would scare people. Shangshu also came, two of the six books came, plus Huang Zhong and others, it can be said that Wuhou Sun Ce is an honor today.
"I have met His Highness the King of Shu! Your Highness the King of Shu, Wan An!" Mrs. Wu was leaning on a cane, and with the support of the maidservant over there, she was going to salute Liu Mang.
Liu Mang hurriedly stepped forward, "Mother-in-law, why should you be like this, we are a family! Today is your birthday, so I should pay homage to my mother-in-law."
"I don't dare!" Mrs. Wu said modestly to Liu Mang very well.
"If you don't dare, it's all a family. Come on, my son-in-law, Liu Mang, has met his mother-in-law. Thank you, my mother-in-law, for marrying the jewel in my palm to my son-in-law." Liu Mang half bowed to the old lady.
"Spoof!" Sun Shangxiang, who was at the side, said coquettishly to Liu Mang. With Liu Mang's action, everyone's restraint disappeared instantly. Today there are no rulers and ministers, only the son-in-law pays homage to his mother-in-law.
"Get up!" Liu Mang waved his hands and shouted to the people below.
"Thank you, Your Highness the King of Shu!" A crowd of Yangzhou civil and military personnel stood up.
"Marquis Wu and Sun Ce have met Your Highness!" Sun Ce stepped forward and cupped his fists at Liu Mang.
"My overlord brother. I said that today I will come to the door as a son-in-law. Not His Royal Highness Shu, do you need me to give the king's order?" Liu Mang said to Sun Ce with a smile.
"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty!" Sun Ce wanted to call His Highness, but Liu Mang snorted and called him "Han Yang!"
"That's right!"
Sun Ce can call Liu Mang's name, but others dare not. Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others also stepped forward to greet each other, and Liu Mang nodded one by one.
It was Zhuge Liang's turn, but Liu Mang stopped him immediately, "Yo, Mr. Zhuge Shangshu, why did you come to the banquet?"
"Of course Marquis Wu invited me!" Zhuge Liang provocatively said to Liu Mang, taking out the invitation card.
"I don't remember that the Criminal Department is not on duty today." Liu Mang looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile. The six parts only rest for two days at the end of ten days, but not today, not to mention that one must have a servant or a minister.
"I'm not feeling well, please rest!" Zhuge Liang lied in front of Liu Mang, the boss, without blinking.
"I'm not feeling well and I'm here to attend the dinner party!" Liu Mang said angrily.
"Doctor Hua told me to run more, it's good for the wind and health!" Zhuge Liang dragged Hua Tuo over there directly. Hua Tuo was shot while lying down.
Liu Mang looked behind Zhuge Liang and asked, "Doctor Hua, what's wrong with Kong Ming? Where's his medical bill?"
Zhuge Liang subconsciously said, "Doctor Hua, I will go to you today. If you are not here, I will let you go. Let, let..." Zhuge Liang turned around and found out. Where is Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo is busy reading the medical books that Liu Mang gave him every day, where is the time to come to the dinner party, Zhuge Liang knows that he has been brushed. Zhuge Liang's face was very dark.
Well, it's a fake that he's sick, and he didn't even go to the Tai Hospital. But Liu Mang said that if you are sick, you need a medical certificate from the hospital, just in case some officials pretend to be sick.
Liu Mang looked at Zhuge Liang playfully.
"My work is done!" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Mang, and I skipped work as soon as I saw it, what happened, my work was done.
"One month, no, three months' salary is gone!" Liu Mang also said with a smile.
"Why!" Zhuge Liang yelled. Although our Mr. Zhuge is not married yet, this fiancée has already entered the mansion. That is Miss Huang from Jingzhou. This Miss Huang has a high IQ. In addition, it is also a tigress type, so our Kong Ming military division has always been a wife throughout history.
This Miss Huang strictly controlled Zhuge Liang's salary, so Zhuge Liang had no extra money at all. If he knew that his salary had been deducted, Zhuge Liang would have to explain it when he went back.
"No reason!" Liu Mang smiled at Zhuge Liang, "Just because I am your lord!" Originally pretending to be sick for no reason, one month's salary should be deducted, but Liu Mang made a big stroke and it was three months.
"You!" Seeing Zhuge Liang deflated and Liu Mang laughing away, even Zhou Yu next to him gloated and patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder, "Brother Kong Ming, do you want me to lend you money?"
"Get lost!" Zhuge Liang shouted at Zhou Yu.
In the hall, for the old lady's birthday banquet, naturally everyone brought up various gifts with their own special abilities, and Liu Mang also sent rocks, which is a metaphor for the old lady's longevity than Nanshan. Mrs. Wu is not bad for giving gold and silver, such a rock has a special charm.
The dinner was halfway through, Mrs. Wu went back to rest early when she was tired, and Sun Shangxiang also went with her mother. Only a group of Yangzhou civil and military personnel were left in the hall.
"Your Highness, it is a great honor for you to come to the mansion to celebrate the birthday of the old mother in your busy schedule. Thank you, Lord Long, for your kindness!" Sun Ce said as he drank a glass of wine.
Sun Ce was toasting, so Liu Mang had to drink it, and he would lose face if he didn't drink it.
"Your Highness, Sun Ce is my elder brother, Mrs. Wu is like Yu's old mother, and Yu also respects His Highness." Zhou Yu also came up and said respectfully.
Liu Mang had no choice but to drink again.
"Your Highness, I, Huang Gai, used to be a retainer of the Sun family, and the old lady is considered to be Huang Gai's old mistress. Gai also thanked Your Highness on behalf of the old lady!" Another cup.
"Your Highness, you are the old lady's son-in-law. You are also Marquis Wu's brother-in-law, and we are a family. I will do it first to respect you!"
Liu Mang didn't know how much he drank, and even Zhuge Liang came up there, as if he wanted to avenge his salary.
Liu Mang seemed to have given up halfway through the wine, and if he continued like this, he would be drunk sooner or later, but there was a message from the other side that Mrs. Sun had already accompanied Mrs. Wu to sleep. Mother and daughter have to talk at night.
Well, Liu Mang couldn't leave, and he didn't know how much he drank. In the end, Liu Mang was really drunk.
In a daze, Liu Mang was sent to the room above Wuhou's mansion that was originally reserved for Sun Shangxiang's relatives under the guidance of the servants above Wuhou's mansion. Liu Mang fell into bed and fell asleep. .
Early in the morning, Liu Mang was woken up. Listening to the sound, the noise outside seems to be very intense.
"What's the situation?" Liu Mang rubbed his eyes and got up, and went out after a little baptism in the bronze mirror.
"Who are you and why are you in my daughter's boudoir!" This was the old man's voice, which was full of anger.
"You old man is so ignorant. Here and there is your daughter's boudoir, and this is obviously my mistress's room above Wuhou's mansion!" = Guan Hai's voice also rang out.
"Your mistress. Who are you?" The old man looked at Guan Hai, and suddenly remembered something, pointing at Guan Hai and shouting loudly, "Are you the guard from that day?"
"Huh? Old man, do you know me?" Guan Hai asked doubtfully.
"Are you the guard of Shu Wang Liu Mang?" the old man continued to ask.
"Yes!" Guan Hai nodded.
"Then the one who lives inside is Liu Mang, King of Shu?" the old man continued to ask.
"That's right, our lord was drunk last night, so he fell asleep on top of Marquis Wu's mansion. You old man is so ignorant, this is obviously my mistress' boudoir!" Zhou Cang also spoke.
"This is Marquis Wu's Mansion?" The old man was so angry that his face was flushed red.
"Liu Mang, false king, you hypocrite, come out to me, you are such a gentleman, how can His Majesty designate a person like you as king? Scum and scum!" The old man became more and more angry, using this kind of words Angrily scolded Liu Mang.
"What's so noisy!" Liu Mang finally woke up. He looked outside the door and it was very lively. An old man was spitting and arguing with Zhou Cang and Guan Hai. Guan Hai and Zhou Cang's face was flushed. Can't beat the rhythm.
And there are more and more people in the courtyard, all attracted by this voice.
"Where's my daughter?" The old man questioned Liu Mang.
"Your daughter?" Liu Mang looked confused, "Who is your daughter?"
"Shu King Liu Mang, bullying too much, bullying too much, I will fight with you, old man!" The old man's face flushed, you Shu King Liu Mang has gone to his boudoir, you ask him who is his daughter? Before Liu Mang could react, the old man over there stopped talking but changed hands.
"Old man, don't go too far, don't think that you are an old man, we dare not touch you!" Guan Hai threatened the old man.
The old man rushed towards Liu Mang, and Guan Hai was about to make a move. If Guan Hai's fist was rounded, the old man would at least lose half his life.
"Stop!" A sweet voice came from outside the courtyard at this critical moment. A beautiful woman walked in.
"Yue'er! Why are you here?" The old man saw his daughter. "Aren't you here?" The old man asked suspiciously, over there was his daughter's boudoir.
"Yue'er?" Liu Mang looked familiar to the woman over there, but couldn't figure it out, was it her? Nope! She is young, but the woman in front of her is like a lady of every family.
"Father, didn't brother Gongjin tell you? I live with the old lady. I don't live in my own room!" The girl named Yue'er said to her father.
"That's good, that's good!" The old man kept nodding.
"You old man is so strange!" Guan Hai said.
"Have we met this Yue'er girl somewhere?" Liu Mang asked the woman suspiciously.
He forgot himself! Bitterness in the woman's heart, after having a sister, will you forget about me
"I haven't seen it, how could you have seen it, our family doesn't want to see you!" The old man over there held obvious hostility towards Liu Mang.
"What's going on!" Someone appeared again, and this person was none other than Sun Ce, the owner of Wuhou Mansion, and Zhou Yu.
"Your Highness, we have been looking for you for a long time. So you are in the Zhou Mansion?" Sun Ce stepped forward and said to Liu Wei.
"Zhou Mansion?" Liu Mang was completely confused. Didn't he go to the banquet at Wu Hou's mansion? Why are you in Zhou Mansion
"My lord, this is indeed the Zhou mansion!" Zhou Yu, the owner of the mansion, also came forward.
"Wu Hou, we are obviously in your Wuhou's mansion, why did we come to Zhou's mansion. I don't study much, so you can't lie to me! It was obviously your servant who brought us to Miss's boudoir yesterday!" Zhou said. Cang said to Sun Ce.
"Ah!" Sun Ce suddenly chopped his foot, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Sun Ce explained, that is, the Zhou family and Marquis Wu's mansion had figured it out. This is what Zhou Yu and Sun Ce did for the two families to communicate with each other. After Shu Wang Liu Mang got drunk last night, Sun Ce ordered his servant to take Liu Mang to Miss's boudoir, but this servant was borrowed from Zhou Yu's mansion, so he subconsciously brought Liu Mang to Zhou Mansion Among them, because the lady of Zhou Mansion is that Yue'er.
Liu Mang understood, that is to say, he slept all night in the boudoir of this girl named Yue'er.
"False King Liu Mang, you still don't admit it! You are despicable and shameless!" the old man was still yelling.
Zhou Cang got annoyed and said directly, "Old man, our master slept with your daughter, what are you calling, didn't he just sleep in a boudoir!"
Bad thing! This idea suddenly appeared in the minds of Liu Mang and others.
"You thief, I will fight you!" The old man suddenly fainted from anger.
"Father, father!"
"Mr. Qiao. Mr. Qiao!" The girl named Yue'er and Zhou Yu were taken aback and rushed forward to support the old man.
"Shameless person, shameless person!" The old man woke up from being held in the middle, but he still screamed.
"Really, if you sleep with your daughter, you won't be called to death!" Zhou Cang's big mouth started again, and Liu Mang closed his mouth with his eyes wide open.
"Mr. Qiao?" Liu Mang looked at Zhou Yu and Sun Ce suspiciously. "he?"
"Your Highness, this person is Qiao Xuan, the Great Confucian of Jiangdong, Mr. Qiao!" Sun Ce explained to Liu Mang.
"Qiao Xuan, Mr. Qiao?" Liu Mang's eyes widened. If this old man is Qiao Xuan, then this old man is Liu Mang's father-in-law? This girl named Yue'er in front of me
In Liu Mang's mind, it appeared in that forest when he was near the Lujiang River.
A young girl in white clothes, called He Yue, at first the little girl held a lot of hostility towards Liu Mang, but then slowly became a kind of dependence, Liu Mang still remembered that she threatened him, saying that she would Let his elder brother Yu come to settle accounts with him, and Liu Mang still remembers that this girl named He Yue told him before leaving that he should not forget him.
"He, He Yue?" Liu Mang looked at the girl named Yue'er.
The girl named Yue'er was overjoyed, he hadn't forgotten herself, but then she was a little annoyed, he didn't recognize herself at first, women are always unreasonable animals, so Qiao Yue turned to Liu Mang's attitude was very cold, "Your Highness, you have identified the wrong person!"
"Acknowledged the wrong person?" Liu Mang smiled wryly twice, how could he admit the wrong person, at first he just didn't dare to admit it, but now Liu Mang can confirm it 100%, because now He Yue is not Is it the same dress and appearance as Qiao Yu back then? She, this little girl has finally grown up, from a green apple to a red apple.
But what if you just remember? Liu Mang looked at Qiao Yue, and then looked at this place. This is the Zhou Mansion. The Qiao family sisters were going to marry Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but they just stole Sun Ce's marriage. According to the time, Qiao Yue should be married now, Zhou Yu is so lucky.
"My lord, Yu has always regarded Yue'er as her younger sister!" Zhou Yu suddenly said to Liu Mang.
Why did you tell me Qiao Yue as your younger sister? Wait! Liu Mang turned his head and asked Zhou Yu, "Aren't you married yet?"
"My lord, Gong Jin has long vowed not to take it in this life!" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and said to Liu Mang.
"You're not Zhou Xiaobailian, how do you know, Zhou Xiaobailian will never marry for life?" Zhou Cang's big mouth opened again.
"Because I know, so I know!" Sun Ce laughed as if thinking of something. Seeing Zhou Yu and Sun Ce look deeply at each other, Zhou Cang couldn't help shivering.
"Zhou Yu didn't take it? Qiao Yue didn't get married?" Liu Mang's heart suddenly glowed with joy, but then it faded away. How could there be so many tigresses in their family marrying Qiao Yue? And with Qiao Yue's attitude towards him, and that Duke Qiao
If Guan Hai and Zhou Cang hadn't stopped us today. This old man can really kill himself. Just this attitude. Still want to marry Qiao Yue, dreaming.
"It's getting late, Bo Fu, Gong Jin, I should go back too!" Liu Mang thought for a while but shook his head and prepared to leave.
"My lord, what month?" Zhou Yu was about to call out to Liu Mang, but unexpectedly, Liu Mang left without hearing it at all.
…
Liu Mang was sitting on top of the main hall, there was a pile of copybooks in front of him, Liu Mang looked at the copybooks but his thoughts had already flown to nowhere, back then. Maolin, two women in white clothes, the tiger and those cubs.
The tigress let Liu Mang know them, and the cubs were released back into the forest, but everything seemed to be just yesterday, which made Liu Mang unforgettable.
"The name of the lord's final exam is..." Xu Shu walked out of the hall and was about to report to Liu Mang, but he didn't hear Liu Mang's reaction after talking for a long time. When he looked up, the lord of their family kept one movement all the time.
"My lord. My lord!" Just when Liu Mang was in a daze, he was suddenly patted on the side.
"En?" Liu Wei returned to his senses, "What happened to Yuan Zhi?"
good! Xu Shu knew that what he said just now was in vain, the lord didn't hear anything just now.
"My lord! The results of the big exam are out." Xu Shu repeated it to Liu Mang.
"The results of the final exam? Okay. How many people were selected? How about Yangzhou, Jiangdong?" Liu Mang shook off the thoughts in his head and asked Xu Shu next to him.
"My lord, a total of 120 scholars will be selected this time!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang. In fact, only 40 people passed the test, of which 39 were from Yangzhou, and only one was from other places. . But what Liu Mang really wanted this time was 120 people. Except for the 30 people who stayed in Liubu, the others had to go to various places. Many places in Jiangdong and Xuzhou needed counties. Ling Xianwei, these grassroots officials.
We can only admit the best, the first 120 people with the highest score. Among the 120 people, there are about 60 scholars from Yangzhou, 30 from Jiangdong, more than a dozen from Xuzhou, and more than a dozen from other states! Add up to one hundred and twenty people.
Xu Shu was a little dissatisfied with those who failed the exam, because Liu Mang was obviously planning to make up for the number. First, get the number of people up. Based on Xu Shu's thinking, that is, if there is a lack of others, they will not die, and only forty people can be accepted. .
But Liu Wei didn't think so. Mathematics is something that many people haven't touched. This time, it's rare because other people basically haven't seen it. A big exam is nothing. This is the second time, the third time. , Even if it is really on the scale, those who fail to pass are also considered talents among scholars.
"Huh!" Liu Mang looked at the list Xu Shu gave him in his hand, and couldn't help being surprised, because there was one person among the top 40, and this person was the one Liu Mang had seen in the Shouchun Hotel. Step Kaibu Bocheng.
"Is this person Bu Kai from the Bu family?" Liu Mang asked Xu Shu.
"En is indeed from Jiangdong!" Xu Shu nodded.
"This Bukai is really a talent!" Liu Mang said with a smile.
"The forty people who passed the test, all of them will be placed in the sixth department!" Liu Mang allocated them, and those with better grades were placed in the sixth department, because the sixth department belongs to the center of Yangzhou, and although they stay in the center, their official positions are smaller , but at least get promoted quickly.
"Put the rest somewhere else!" Liu Mang said to Xu Shu.
"As for this Bukai!" Liu Wei thought for a while, "Let him go to Jiangdong to be a county magistrate!" Liu Wei said to Xu Shu.
"Go to Jiangdong to be the county magistrate? Don't you stay in Liubu?" Xu Shu became puzzled. , should be able to take the Criminal Department to a higher level and share the burden for Kong Ming, so that Kong Ming can also rest."
"Let that villager rest?" Listening to Xu Shu's words, Liu Mang wanted to let Bukai go to Jiangdong even more. But Liu Mang wouldn't say it so bluntly, otherwise he would be despised by others. Isn't this public revenge.
"This Bukai is Jiangdong Bu's family! Yuanzhi is not unaware of the gap between Buzhi and Jiangdongbu's family! Whether it's Bujia or Buzhi, they are an indispensable part of our army in Yangzhou !" Liu Mang said to Xu Shu, Bu Zhi is talented, and Bu Zhi is in Jiangdong. Things in Jiangdong are in order. And step home. It's Jiangdong's big gentry, if it's only the gentry Liu Mang, it doesn't matter, even if they are wiped out, no one dares to say much, but this Bu family is very discerning, and immediately wrote a letter to Liu Mang after Liu Mang took Jiangdong. Reckless, I want to dedicate all the fertile land in my family. Naturally, Liu Mang would not want these fields in vain, and bought them at the market price. With the Bu family as an example, the other Jiangdong gentry naturally slowly accepted Yangzhou's policy of buying land.
Such a noble family that Liu Mang has set as a role model, if Liu Mang is exterminated, or if he embarrasses the Bu family for the sake of Bu Zhi, it will be a slap in the face of himself. So what Liu Mang needs is a Bu family and Bu Zhi who live in harmony.
And this Bukai is one of the bridges.
"Which city is the lord going to let Bukai go to?" Xu Shu asked suspiciously.
Liu Mang looked at the six counties in Jiangdong, Wujun, Kuaiji, Danyang, Yuzhang, Luling, and Lujiang.
Lujiang does not need it, and Kuaiji is being rebuilt. Danyang Yuzhang is also a little far away, just Luling. This area governs 10 counties including Xichang, Gaochang, Shiyang, Baqiu, Nanye, Dongchang, Xinxing, Jiyang, Xingping and Jiucheng.
"Let him be the county magistrate of Nanye!" This is a place close to Jingzhou in Jiangdong, and it can be said that it is also a place where he can make contributions. Liu Wei needs to give this Bukai a chance to get promoted. Only then can this person be Bu Zhi's deputy.
Of course, Liu Mang couldn't just give Bu Kai to be Bu Zhi's deputy, because it would be obvious to anyone with a discerning eye, and he had to do it step by step.
"Okay!" Xu Shu nodded and began to write on the appointment letter.
…
"Shu County, Guo's family, student Guo Yi, congratulations to student Guo, you have already ranked 12th in the first class of high school, and you are detained in the punishment department!"
"Hefei, Chengjia, student of Chenghu, congratulations to student of Chenghu, the title of the gold list, the 22nd in the second class of high school, dispatched Xuzhou Guangling to serve as the county lieutenant."
Congratulations, Yangzhou Shouchun is very lively today, there are all kinds of congratulations, and there are also all kinds of annoyances. Some students from various states are beating their feet and chests, and some are pointing out the country, full of loyalty. Because the gold list has come out.
The reason why it is called Jinbang is because Liu Mang used golden cloth with the names of high school students written on it. The golden color symbolizes the carp jumping over the dragon's gate, so it is called Jinbang.
On the gold list, there are three grades: A, B, and C. Grade A is the first grade, and only thirty people will be selected. These thirty people will stay in Shouchun and enter the six divisions. The B grade will be forty people. Basically, they are sent out to various counties as county magistrates, and there are C grades, who are also sent out to be officials. Of course, they are not the top leaders of the county towns, but county lieutenants or chief book ceremonies.
"I've won, I've won!" A boy from Jiangdong's poor family suddenly yelled, he was crazy, although he looked very ugly, but everyone didn't laugh, it was more of a kind of envy.
The title of the gold list. In the past, it was the right of the children of the noble family to be an official. Only when the world changes will the children of the poor family be allowed to stand out. Even so, there are very few children of the poor family who can be officials. To write letters, or to be a petty official, it is impossible to be an official.
And now that Liu Wei had such a big exam, the children from the poor family came here to try their luck, but they didn't expect to pass it all at once.
"Congratulations to Brother Bian, congratulations to Brother Bian, you won the 20th place in Class C!" A few students nearby congratulated this former friend.
"Where is the third class, only the third class!" The man who won the gold list was still in a state of madness just now, but after laughing, he naturally became humble, because from now on, he is an official.
"Brother Bian is now going to be an official, an official for the parents of a county!" Someone envied.
"Where is the parent officer? It's just a county lieutenant, and there is an adult county magistrate!" Brother Bian is a class C, not a county magistrate, but a county lieutenant, so he is very humble, but there is something wrong in his eyes. The smile couldn't be concealed.
"Brother Step, what do you think you can win!" Someone looked at a young master, and this person was Mr. Bukai.
"Brother Bu is very talented, so naturally he's going to be the first one to come back." Someone said, this Bukai can be said to be the leader of their Jiangdong scholars.
"That's right, since His Royal Highness the King of Shu has all praised our Brother Bu, it's no surprise that Brother Bu was named on the gold list." Liu Mang's words to Bu Kai were heard by everyone, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu was very happy with Bu Kai ah.
"Look at Brother Step, if you are calm and composed, you must have a well-organized chest!"
Is Bukai really confident? Not at all, and not quite. Because Bukai's hand holding the teacup was just shaking. If you look carefully. His legs were shaking too. It's all false if you say you're not nervous. Title on the gold list, when Bu Kai came to Shouchun, he came here in high spirits.
"Class A?" Bu Kai was also very envious. If he stayed in Shouchun and entered the six ministries, he would be truly regarded as an official of the central government. Wei Dianli has some official positions, but he is still in his early years. Looking at several students over there who have already congratulated each other. But Bukai is very envious in his heart.
"Which one is Bukai, Bu Xuezi, Bukai Bu student from Jiangdong!" Just when Bukai was still nervous, the official over there came in and asked everyone.
"Is another person on the list!" Bu Kai subconsciously thought that this official came here to give the list.
"Which one is Bu Kai, Bu Xuezi, Bu Kai from Jiangdong Bu's family? Doesn't Bu Xuezi live here?" The official was a little confused, because the address that Bu Xuezi wrote was this hotel.
"Brother Step, Brother Step is calling you!" Just as Bukai was still in a daze, someone shouted at Bukai over there.
"Ah!" Bu Kai finally realized it. It turned out that this was to find myself.
"I am, I am! I am Bukai." Bukai hurried forward and said.
"You are Bukai. Bu student?" The official who came to deliver the list asked suspiciously, because he saw that this person was sitting on the side drinking tea just now. If he was Bukai, why did he shout so much? The voice is ignored, don't be an impostor.
"Really, I'm Bukai, from Jiangdong." Bukai said.
"Do you have proof?" The official was still skeptical.
"Proof?" Bu Kai was stunned for a moment, because it was the first time for the Yangzhou University Examination, and there were really few impostors. "They, they can all prove that I'm Buquet."
"Yes, this is Bukai, Brother Bu!" shouted a group of fellow students nearby.
"En!" The official nodded, "Congratulations Bu Xuezi, congratulations Bu Xuezi, you are ranked 28th in the gold list!"
In high school? Class A? All the people on the side gasped.
Because Class A is basically Yangzhou students so far, the reason is that these Yangzhou students came out of Yangzhou Academy, and they have studied these science subjects, so they can have an advantage over everyone else.
This is the first time that the first class is not a student from Yangzhou.
"Bu Kai didn't expect that he would be able to get a first class. Although he was at the bottom, he was also a first class, right
"Thank you, thank you!" Bu Kai hurriedly said excitedly.
"Bu Xuezi, release Luling County, the magistrate of Nanye County!" The official who delivered the letter said to Bukai.
"Ahhh!" Everyone couldn't understand. Aren't the first-class people on the gold list all entered the sixth department? Why did it become an outsider when he came to Bukai.
Everyone didn't understand very much, so they couldn't help asking the official.
"The determination of the list is naturally made by His Royal Highness the King of Shu. The old man decides it himself. How can we speculate at will!" the official said to the crowd.
This was personally decided by His Royal Highness the King of Shu. With such a sentence, everyone has nothing to say.
"Student Bu, don't forget that you will be appointed as an official in two days, so farewell!" The official cupped his fists at Bu Kai and left.
"Brother Bu, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is not biased. Why do other A-class people stay in the six departments of Yangzhou, but you are A-class and want to be released?" Some people complained about Bu Kai.
These individuals are basically people who have lost their names. They failed to make the list. Seeing that Bukai won the list, they were sour, but they were still released when they heard that Bukai was ranked first, and they felt a little more comfortable.
"You and I can guess what His Royal Highness the King of Shu thinks! Naturally, His Royal Highness has his meaning, Brother Bu, I'm right!" The person who spoke good words for Liu Mang is naturally our brother Bian, who is on the list, Bing Wait, just to be a county lieutenant, but this brother Bian is very satisfied, because he is a poor student. He had never been in the officialdom all his life, but now he is an official. This basically changed his destiny. How could he No, Liu Mang, the king of Shu, is dead set on it.
"Yeah, what His Highness thinks, I can't just guess at will!" Bu Kai also nodded, he remembered what His Highness King Shu said to him when he left, he hoped to see himself on the gold list , he is also very optimistic about himself. So explain. His Royal Highness the King of Shu must have placed great trust in himself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that. The only person who was named on the first-class gold list must have the intention of His Royal Highness the King of Shu. Thinking of this, Bu Kai's heart is much better.
Two days later, in the Shouchun Hall, all the high school students were invited to the hall. This place where all the civil and military people in Yangzhou used to discuss affairs has changed a lot of faces today.
"Look, that's Xu Neixiang. I heard that Xu Neixiang, like us, was born from a poor family!"
"Yes, yes, if we can do what Xu Neixiang did!" Everyone was envious, Xu Shu could be said to be the idol of those poor children. How could one not be envious of someone who was born in a poor family but could become a person who is under one person and above ten thousand people.
"You just dream, people like Xu Neixiang, can you do it?" Someone poured cold water on him.
"I can't do it! Anyway, I am an official, as long as I am loyal to His Highness the King of Shu, I will be able to do it in the future."
"Alright, alright, keep your voice down, Xu Neixiang and His Royal Highness the King of Shu are here!" Someone reminded over there.
Only then did the crowd see a person wearing a king's dragon robe came out of the back hall and sat on the main hall. This person was the Shu king Liu Mang's children's shoes.
'His Royal Highness the King of Shu is here! "The servant over there shouted loudly.
"We have met His Royal Highness King Shu, His Royal Highness King Shu Wanan!" All the students bowed down, and they will be their bosses from now on.
"Students in peace!" Liu Mang waved his hand and said to the crowd below.
"Thank you Your Highness!"
"You have won the gold list. Naturally, you are the pillar of my Yangzhou. I am very pleased to see you. After ten years of hard work, I am waiting for the title of the gold list!" Liu Mang's words made the following students excited Resonance, especially those poor children, they study to get ahead, and Liu Wei gave them such a chance. Some even whimpered at the thought of their own suffering.
"Thank you Your Highness for giving us the opportunity!"
"Don't thank me first, I gave you the opportunity to be an official because you have the ability, not to corrupt the government, but to be an official and benefit the other party!" Liu Mang faced the people below Said, "I ugliness said earlier that the big test is just a means to select a scholar. What I want to look at is ability. Some of you have entered the Six Departments, and some of you have been released as county magistrates and county lieutenants. As long as you have the ability, you will naturally Gao Sheng, there may be future seats for you in the main hall today, but if you are incapable and unable to manage one side, then sorry, I can only ask you to go home, if someone is not only ineffective, but also corrupt, or Fish and meat endanger the common people, then Shouchun's prison will be opened for you!" Liu Mang said with killing intent on his body.
"Kill!" In the main hall, a group of personal guards also drew their sabers. These people all came out of the battlefield. Which one of those individuals had several lives? The students were all terrified, and some even had water stains on their bodies.
"Okay, there is a dinner party tonight, and the banquet for you and other students is my king's celebration for you. After two days, I will be released to go to the post. Those who stay in the sixth department will report to the sixth department!" Liu Mang said to the soldiers under his command. Ziyu said.
Liu Mang also didn't go to the evening banquet, because he knew that if he was there, these scholars would not let go.
And if he doesn't go, this group of people can be full of spirits, after all, they are all young people.
Immediately, there were poem writers and libretto writers, all of whom had the artistic conception of being proud of their lives and wanting to be happy to the fullest, and they have come out on top since then.
There is one person who is not so crazy, and Bukai is the one who takes him. Bukai drank some wine and filled his stomach and did not leave. Yes, that would offend people.
While Bukai was socializing, a servant suddenly came over there and said to Bukai, "But Mr. Bukai?" Bukai has already obtained the official seal, so he has to be called an adult.
"You are?" Bu Kai looked at the servant suspiciously.
"Master Bukaibu, there is an old friend who wants to see you, please come with me!"
"An old friend?" Bu Kai was stunned for a moment, how could he have any old friends in Yangzhou? "Could it be?" (To be continued...)
