Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

hostility.

Of course Sun Shangxiang was hostile.

Zhang Qiying in front of her, with her breathtaking eyes and delicate words, even a woman would sink into her, which man can resist such a charm?
"You are a saint of the Five Dou Rice Religion? When did you care about Jiangdong's safety?" Sun Shangxiang asked, "If you say you have no plans, do you think this girl believes it or not?"

Sun Shangxiang puffed out her chest and acted domineering, but Zhang Qiying was not intimidated by him, she got up slowly.

"Nature does nothing, is weak and does not fight. The meaning of the existence of the Five Dou Rice Religion is to save the world, not to poison the world. The people of Bashu are the people of the world, so why are the people of Jiangdong not one of the thousands of people?"

"It's just nonsense..." Sun Shangxiang still confronted each other...

Beautiful women can easily arouse hostility between each other.

"I just said that if the crown prince doesn't believe it, you might as well go to a few places with the little girl. When you get there... the crown prince will know the truth at a glance!" Zhang Qiying slowly got up...

Sun Shangxiang still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lu Yu. "Since the saintess has kindly invited you, I might as well go and have a look later!"

This is considered to have accepted Zhang Qiying's invitation.

Sun Shangxiang clenched the sword in his hand, "In Jiangdong, you must not play tricks!"

Zhang Qiying just smiled and led everyone out of the military tent...

...

...

In Xudu City, the Crown Prince's East Palace.

Cai Zhaoji walked back and forth leisurely, counting softly while walking...

Xia Houjuan accompanied her, or in other words, supervised her!
The medical officer said...walking like this is good for the final delivery.

Wannian princess Liu Xue came in to salute, "Liu Xue greeted my sister..."

Cai Zhaoji was inconvenient and couldn't help Liu Xue, but she said with a smile, "Didn't I say it before, you are a concubine and a princess of the Han Dynasty, how can you do such a great gift when you see me? Get up quickly."

Liu Xue got up, replaced Xia Houjuan, and supported Cai Zhaoji.
"Sister Zhaoji... Your Majesty held a palace test outside the Sima Gate today, but... but outside the Sima Gate, it... turned into a mess!"

"What?" Cai Zhaoji paused, Xia Houjuan gave the maids a wink, and someone handed over a wooden stool for Cai Zhaoji to sit down.

Liu Xue's tone was quite urgent. "Originally, with Miss Zhaoji's current body, I... I shouldn't have said these things, but... but... the palace examination, it seems that the situation has been out of control... Nearly a thousand people who failed the imperial examination were shouting outside the palace. It's not fair, there are juniors from the general family, sons from the clan, and children from poor families...It seems that everyone is not convinced by this imperial examination system! I feel that there is a secret operation! I feel that their true talents have been buried!"

This is out of the way...

Cai Zhaoji's brows were tightly frowned, looking at the tears welling up in Liu Xue's eyes, Cai Zhaoji could feel... Liu Xue's difficulty...

The Crown Princess of the Wei Dynasty, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty...it is not easy to mediate between the two.

"Then... prepare the sedan chair, I'll go and have a look!"

Cai Zhaoji hesitated for a moment, but still gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

She is the head of the Taixue, and his father is the leader of the northern literati. At a time like this... concerning the affairs of the world's scholars and scholars, and the selection of future officials from the Great Han and the Great Wei, only she, Cai Zhaoji, can come forward.

"Sister Zhaoji...life is noisy over there, you...your stomach..."

Xia Houjuan spoke with concern...

At this time...the noise in the palace became more and more intense, as if...Cai Zhaoji who was in Wei Palace could also hear some of it.

She glanced at her belly with concern, but her lips trembled and she couldn't speak. She understood... the significance of the imperial examination system to the future Wei, and also understood the painstaking efforts and determination of His Majesty and Brother Yu to carry out the imperial examination.

Don't let all your hard work and painstaking efforts be ruined because of this palace test.

"National emergency... lead the way ahead!"

Cai Zhaoji bit her lower lip...

Seeing Sister Zhaoji's resolute expression, Xia Houjuan didn't dare to say anything, and hurried to call the Long Xiao guards who stayed here!

...

...

The crowd outside the palace was excited.

The results of the palace examination have been settled, Jiang Donglu

Lu Ji of the family has undoubtedly been crowned the "No. [-] Scholar" at the top of the top three...

And Model and Tanhua are two poor children from poor families.

Countless clan children and descendants of generals shouted: "The emperor protects private individuals, Shangshutai bends the law for personal gain, and the imperial examination system is unfair.

——"Straight as a string, on the edge of a dead end, curved like a hook, turn into a marquis!"

——"Straight as a string, on the edge of a dead end, curved like a hook, turn into a marquis!"

Excited...

It seems that in the eyes of these clans and generals, the imperial examination system is unfair. In order to win over "Lu Yu"'s mother clan, the emperor awarded the title of "No. [-] Scholar" to Lu Ji. In order to suppress the "clan" and "general", The "model" and "Tanhua" were promulgated to the two descendants of the declining clan and the poor family-Ma Jun and Zhou Buyi!

With such excitement...

It seems that the emperor Liu Xie has lost control of the situation.

Cai Zhaoji, Liu Xue, and others, escorted by a group of soldiers from the Longxiao Battalion, approached the palace from the nearby Canglong Gate, and walked to the Sima Gate... just as they saw the desperate Emperor Liu Xie.

Liu Xie saw the eldest sister... as if he was a savior, he rushed to hold her hand, and said profusely in sweat.

"Eldest sister, I... I never thought that this imperial examination system would cause such... such a big repercussion!"

Liu Xue turned to look at Cai Zhaoji...

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, Sister Zhaoji... is the leader of the northern literati and the head of the Imperial Academy...she...she must have a way!"

Liu Xie turned his gaze to Cai Zhaoji.

Cai Zhaoji asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, where are the officials in charge of the imperial examination? Where are the top three in the imperial examination?"

Liu Xie hurriedly said: "They are all waiting outside. The imperial examination that I want to carry out... I will bear all the consequences. I dare not let them come out to bear the grievances of the people!"

"Are the people complaining?" Cai Zhaoji smiled, "The 'people' that His Majesty talks about is the real 'people'?"

Well…

Cai Zhaoji's words stunned Liu Xie.

But her expression contains deep meaning, the so-called public grievances are boiling...

This Min is not the Min we understand in the popular sense, because... in ancient times, the "Min" never had the right to speak.

Those clans that can be recorded in history books and leave words have always been those clans...

The so-called "popular grievances are boiling" is about the same as the clan's resentment and boiling!The real people? How can there be a voice?
"President Cai...what are you going to do?" Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan in astonishment...

At this time... Yang Xiu, Sima Yi and other officials in charge of the imperial examination led the "No. [-] Scholar", "Model", and "Tanhua" to the tower.

Seeing Cai Zhaoji...

Yang Xiu and Sima Yi saluted first.

Lu Ji, Zhou Buyi, and Ma Jun also hurriedly saluted...

Cai Zhaoji stood on the tower with her big belly, facing the increasingly turbulent noise and shouts outside the palace, she and Lu Ji, Ma Jun, and Zhou Buyi looked at each other with calm smiles.

Cai Zhaoji did not expect that these three selected talents would have such concentration, as if they were deaf to everything outside.

In addition, Lu Ji is the younger generation of Brother Yu's mother's family, and Ma Jun has been in the workshop...Zhuge Jun has often mentioned his excellence to Cai Zhaoji, Zhou Buyi...Cai Zhaoji is a little unfamiliar, but knows that he is Cao Chong's playmate. with.

All these gave Cai Zhaoji a little more confidence.

The sound from under the city tower? Did you hear it?
Lu Ji smiled lightly: "Public talk makes gold, that's for mediocre people, not for gentlemen. Gentlemen stand upright, and gossip is like a knife cutting east wind. What does it matter to me?"

Cai Zhaoji smiled, "Since she claims to be a gentleman and stands upright, if you think about it, you will live up to the consideration of this imperial examination. On the way here, I heard that you were fluent in answering His Majesty's questions during the palace examination. , Strategies and Art of War, you know everything, so you got the title of champion! But now, the title of champion can only show the recognition of you by the imperial court. If you have no recognition from scholars and students, this title will become your biggest burden instead! "

Cai Zhaoji blurted out...

What did the emperor Liu Xie realize, "Mr. Cai, do you want the number one scholar to go out? To face the anger of these scholars?"

Lu Ji blinked his eyes, "Chairman Cai, please make it clear!"

Cai Yan talked eloquently, with firm words. "Today's Palace
The unsuccessful scholars all said that you are from my brother Yu's mother's clan, so you got the number one scholar because of your relationship with the prince. This is completely contrary to the "fairness and justice" that the imperial examinations advocate!If you want to prove that the champion is yours, do your part, then go out and accept their test, let them search scriptures at will, choose various questions from them, and let you answer them. You are not destined to be the number one scholar, and this imperial examination will also be ruined by you!Master Lu Ji, do you dare?"

Lu Ji began to be amazed by this method of investigation. He was not very old, but now he was full of scholarly enthusiasm and lashed out at Fang Qiu, how could he stand Cai Zhaoji's enthusiasm.

Immediately puffed up his chest: "President Cai dares, Your Majesty dares, why don't students dare?"

This is out of the way...

"Role model" Ma Jun and "Tanhua" Zhou Buyi looked at each other, and immediately cupped their hands and said, "We dare too!"

Cai Zhaoji raised her hand, "Send the champion, role model, and Tanhua out to protect the safety of the three... Tell the scholars outside the palace that they can investigate and debate at will, and if anyone dares to do it, they will not be officials among the nine clans, and they will not be admitted to the Imperial Academy. You are not allowed to take the imperial examination!"

rare…

Cai Zhaoji, who has always been weak, has become extremely strong at this moment!Become fortitude!
For a moment, many soldiers around had the illusion that Cai Zhaoji's words were like Wei Crown Prince Cao Yu giving orders!
Sima Yi and Yang Xiu looked at each other... with a lingering fear in their hearts.

Yang Xiu said with emotion in a low voice: "Strategy theory, art of war, ancient books... If any of them can't answer, then the imperial examinations that the mentor will carry out with the help of His Majesty will be dead in the womb!"

Phew... Sima Yi also heaved a sigh of relief, "The abolition of the procuratorate has already angered the public, but the implementation of the imperial examination system is even dancing on the tip of the knife! Your Majesty is betting, and Master Zhaoji is also betting!"

"If..." Yang Xiu continued to sigh: "If the teacher is in Luoyang, what will happen?"

Sima Yi's eyes were deep, "Master will definitely do the same..."

Sima Yi's tone became firm, "The entire imperial examination was originally conceived by the mentor, if the imperial examination cannot select the most outstanding talents,
That mentor... no, no... the mentor has always been meticulous in his work, and the imperial examination will definitely select the best talents in the empire!It's me, Sima Yi, who is worrying about nothing!"

at this time…

A soldier on the tower commented: "Now, why did the shouting outside stop?"

The armored soldier next to him replied: "As expected of the prince's elder sister, or if Chief Cai Yan has something to do, and he didn't hear the beatings and killings, the group of scholars under Sima's sect stopped making trouble?"

……

……

Along the Yangtze River.

The black-covered boats come and go like flying, swaying the turbulent waves on the river, and undulating on the endless river.

Huge boxes were moved out of the black-covered boat.
Just by approaching here, you can smell the strong medicinal fragrance.

Zhang Qiying walked to a box and ordered someone to open the box, which contained coptis...

Her slender hands took out a few Coptis chinensis and handed them to Lu Yu, and immediately explained: "Our Five Dou Rice Sect specially bought them from various places when we heard about the Jiangdong plague... The crown prince also knows that our Five Dou Rice Sect is in Dongchuan Heming Mountain, although there are some congregants in various places, they are very rare, and the medicinal materials that can be purchased are extremely limited."

talking...

Zhang Qiying ordered someone to open several boxes, which contained mint, red peony root, Prunella vulgaris, and raw licorice. Lu Yu had the impression that these... were all traditional Chinese medicines for treating the plague.

Before time travel, Lu Yu had read many prescriptions of Chinese medicine because of his injustice in the medical field. He once saw in a medical book that the treatment of "bubonic plague" was Scutellaria baicalensis, forsythia, root ginseng, coptis, Mint, red peony, Prunella vulgaris, raw licorice, etc. are boiled and taken.

Of course, this is only one type of plague, and one plague will often give birth to at least three different plagues.

The most common ones are bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, and septicemic plague, and the corresponding Chinese medicines are different, but... Even so, it is not easy for Wudou Mijiao to raise so many Chinese herbal medicines.

"Unexpected..."

Sun Shangxiang bit her lips slightly with her teeth, she was a little surprised... She still didn't believe that Wudoumi Church was so kind.

"His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess might as well come here again." Zhang Qiying led Lu Yu and his party into the carriage.

half an hour...

What caught the eye was a more intense medicinal smell.

It turns out that this is a "pharmaceutical workshop"...

Zhang Qiying introduced again: "Since the first celestial master of the Wudou Rice Sect, some medicines have been handed down. Although it cannot cure the plague, it can reduce the pain of the plague...His Royal Highness and Princess can ask around. A month ago, our Five Dou Rice Sect began distributing potions to the common people!"

Zhang Qiying blurted out her words.
Lu Yu didn't answer, but quietly observed the pharmacy, including...the carts of boiled medicines were filled into barrels and transported to the city.

To be able to do all this in this chaotic world where human life is like grass is already extremely precious.

Besides, Lu Yu's impression of Wudoumi Sect is not bad. Taoism is divided according to sects, namely Zhengyizong (Zhang Daoling), Nanzong (Lv Chunyang), Beizong (Wang Chongyang), Zhendazong (Zhang Qingzhi), Taiyizong (Yellow Cave One), a total of five categories!

To put it simply, the Five Dou Rice Sect belongs to the Zhengyi sect, which is different from the alchemy sect of Wang Chongyang's Beizong sect. The Zhengyi sect belongs to the Fulu sect...

The flying swords and refining elixir that are always mentioned in the book have nothing to do with the Five Dou Rice Sect.

The Five Dou Rice Sect uses "talismans", and the way to attract people to join the Sect in Bashu is also very simple...

It is to make a talisman with herbs, then burn the talisman, sprinkle the ashes of the talisman into the water, once swallowed...all diseases will be cured!
In addition, as long as the people pay "five buckets of rice", the threshold for joining the religion is also very friendly, and the business of "fushui cures diseases" and "talismans exorcising evil spirits" can be regarded as excellent value for money...

Therefore, on the whole, Lu Yu did not dislike the Five Dou Rice Sect, nor did he dislike Zhang Qiying.

It just felt... a little weird.

"Saint..." Finally, Lu Yu said loudly, "Let's open the skylight and tell the truth. Why did the Five Dou Rice Sect do this? And why did the Holy Maiden guide me to see this?"
