The three countries are very nuclear

The first year of Destiny, mid-April.

While the battlefield between Yuzhou and Nanyang was in full swing, two major events began to take place in Luoyang City.

Open subjects and build palaces.

The reason why it was chosen at this time was actually Lin Chao's opinion.

The new dynasty should naturally have a new look, and some things should have been changed long ago.

In other words, from the bottom of his heart, Lin Chao didn't like these so-called princes of the world, and he could clean up these people while engaging in politics.

The construction of palaces has always been a waste of time and money, but at this time, the Luoyang Palace had to be repaired.

When Dong Zhuo was preparing to move his capital to Chang'an in the past, he ordered people to burn, kill and loot Luoyang City.

Aren't you refusing to leave? Now burn your house down to see if you can leave.

Destruction is much easier than construction. When the fire goes down, the entire Luoyang city is not reduced to ashes, but it is still dilapidated.Later, it was abandoned for several years, and the palace building had already decayed.

It has been raining continuously since spring, and there are even leaks in the main hall of the palace, it really can't last.

When Lin Chaochu played, Liu Bei was concerned that the front line was still fighting, so he resolutely refused.

But one night later, when he was sharing the bed with Diao Chan, and when he was rejoicing wantonly, suddenly a thunder sounded, and Liu Bei was so frightened that he threw away his helmet and armor on the spot, feeling dull.

But when the atmosphere was very embarrassing, a stream of water fell on Liu Bei's head.

When I looked up, I found that the palace where I lived was actually leaking...

On the second day, Liu Bei, who was exhausted physically and mentally, immediately summoned Prime Minister Lin Chao and Jian Yong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to discuss the construction of the palace.

It is said to be built, but it is actually repaired.

The emperors of the Han Dynasty all had the hobby of building gardens and keeping pets.

Those who are as strong as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, build Shanglin Garden, Rabbit Garden, and spend a lot of money.

Those who are as prosperous as Emperor Han and Ming built Guangcheng Garden and Zhuolong Garden, which are magnificent.

Those as weak as Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty even demolished common people's houses in order to build Xianyang Garden.

The wailing of the people who had lost their homes could be heard, and His Majesty the benevolent Emperor naturally couldn't bear to listen, so he sent people to drive all these people away.

Even the fatuous Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty once sold officials and nobles, built East and West Bigui Gardens, Lingkun Gardens, and even set up a naked swimming pool in them to play with naked ladies and sisters.

Just like most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not work properly, the construction of gardens by the emperors of the Han Dynasty was a standard configuration, a brand engraved deep in the genes, and had nothing to do with being wise and stupid.

The face-saving Liu Bei is naturally no exception.

After learning the news that Liu Bei was going to build a palace, the ruling and opposition parties suddenly boiled.

Baiguan was afraid that Liu Bei would follow in the footsteps of the previous emperors, and the world had not yet been unified, so why did he start enjoying himself...

Your Majesty, the spectacle is wrong!

The next day, the admonishers headed by the three shit-stirring sticks of the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to go to the public to persuade them, and Cui Yan even went directly to the imperial court to dissuade them.

As a cabinet assistant, Tian Feng, who is also serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Finance at the moment, is even more outspoken.

Fight wars and get rich!
Gardening, no money!

But this time Liu Bei didn't hesitate, and he fought with all the officials in the Chengde Palace, arguing with everyone.

Cui Yan: Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate to waste people's money and waste money!

Liu Bei: I have no place to live.

Cui Jun: Your Majesty, the front line is still fighting, and the daily life is spent, so the construction of the palace should be postponed.

Liu Bei: I have no place to live.

Zang Hong: Your Majesty started from humble beginnings, and is well aware of the sufferings of the people. Now that the world is uncertain, how can you bear it?

Liu Bei: Are you deaf? I have no place to live!
Tian Feng: No money, just no money!

Liu Bei said arrogantly: I have money in my internal treasury, and I pay for it myself.

The ministers were silent and no longer opposed.

Your Majesty, you should have said earlier!

As long as you don't take money from the treasury, what does it matter to us, retreat from the court, retreat from the court!
Today's affairs are so boring.

Ever since, Liu Bei allocated funds from the inner treasury and began to build the palace.

However, Tian Feng, a caring person, came up with a bold idea.

Is there too much money in His Majesty's inner treasury, or... a part of the source of income will be returned to the national treasury?

He didn't ask for money from the Ministry of Households. Although Liu Bei expressed his toughness, he was extremely stingy when he actually repaired the palace.

To put it simply, it is just sewing and mending, as long as it can live.

In addition, do some face-saving projects to make the appearance more beautiful, after all, as the emperor, he needs face.

As Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Jian Yong naturally had no reason to object, so he took the money to collect paid corvee and recruited a group of civilian men to start working.

For this kind of good thing that stimulates economic growth, Prime Minister Lin expressed his approval and even asked to personally participate in it.

The money in Liu Bei's internal treasury is not greedy for nothing, I've decided on this wool at the beginning of the forest!
Just when the project was in full swing, the first year of the first year of Tianming also began.

Since it was the first imperial examination, it was far from being systematic. Lin Chao didn't hold any provincial examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations.

Anyone with insight, regardless of their origin or status, can sign up for the exam.

It's just that in order to screen out those who are fake, Lin Chao set up a test when he signed up, which was literacy.

How can a person who does not know a single character participate in the imperial examination?

Most of the people who participated in the exam this time were students from Yushan Academy, and a small number were from poor families.

As for those aristocratic family members, most of them chose to wait and see, and did not participate in the first time.

When the time came to the end of May, Xun Chen presided over the first examination for a scholar, and finally came to a successful conclusion.

A total of more than [-] scholars participated, which can be regarded as a cultural and educational event.

Before the imperial examination, Lin Chao and the cabinet predicted that the number one scholar this time should be none other than Lu Xun.

After all, among these Xuzhou second generations, only he has not been an official and can participate in the imperial examination.

But when the list was released, the result shocked everyone.

The No. [-] scholar this time was unexpectedly Pang Tong!

No.2 is not Lu Xun, but Fazheng!

And No.3 Tanhua is not Lu Xun, but Xu Shu...

In the prime minister's mansion, Xun Yu looked at the list and said hesitantly, "I've heard of Xu Yuanzhi's name. In the past, he was a Yingchuan ranger. He was righteous and filial to his mother. Talent. It's just... who is this Pang Shiyuan, and who is Fa Xiaozhi?"

"Elder brother doesn't know, so how did someone know!"

Xun Chen was extremely angry at this time, because Lu Xun, who couldn't even occupy the top three, was his disciple.

After seeing Lu Xun's intelligence in the past, both Lin Chao and Xun Yu wanted to accept him as a disciple, but they were jointly resisted by everyone.

You all have Zhuge Liang, and you still think about what you have and what you don’t have.

Everyone showed their magical powers, and after some disputes, it was Xun Chen who finally took Lu Xun into his pocket.

Xun Chen is clear about the talents of his disciples, and the test papers are also a system of vague names.With yourself, there is absolutely no possibility of fraud.

So... Xun Chen had to admit that these three people were really better than his apprentices!
It's just that there is inevitably some anger in my heart.

Tian Feng on the side was very happy, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There are so many talents in this world, and it is common for someone to beat Boyan. How can you be too late to see things?"

When fighting for Lu Xun back then, Tian Feng failed to win against Xun Chen, and he still has a grudge to this day.

"Humph……"

Being satirized by Tian Feng's words, Xun Chen couldn't refute, so he could only snort coldly.

Lin Chao said with a smile: "This Pang Shiyuan is the nephew of Pang Degong, a famous scholar in Hanyang. He is extremely talented and intelligent. If you practice more, you will become a great weapon in the future. It is reasonable to have this achievement.

Fa Xiaozhi, born in the Fa family of Fufeng, is the grandson of the famous scholar Fa Gaoqing. He has been a high-ranking official for generations. His great-grandfather Faxiong once served as the prefect of Nanyang. "

After hearing Lin Chao's words, everyone was instantly relieved.

Both of these two people have a long history of family education, so it is considered an attempt to have such a good performance.

Xun Chen thought for a moment, and then said, "He's a son of an aristocratic family again...how should I use him?"

"No problem, today is different from the past." Lin Chao shook his head and smiled, "Now the world is about to be unified, and the foundation of the family has already been broken by the admission of scholars, so there is no need to guard too much. We are in high positions, so we have to treat everyone equally. Factions."

Because of Lin Chao's harsh actions against the aristocratic family before, the wind direction of the whole Xuzhou has also changed, and he has no good impression of the aristocratic family.

After the first batch of students from Yushan Academy graduated, they were even divided into three factions.

There is a school of aristocratic families, a school of poor families, and a school of Yushan students.

Lin Chao understands that this kind of division is inevitable, so he can only try his best to keep it fair.

Xun Yu said: "What Zichu said is very true. If there are talents, they must be employed. So these three people, together with Bo Yan, will first enter the five departments as Lang officials to practice for a while, so as to see the effect."

"No, there's a better place to go!"

Lin Chao shook his head and smiled.

While everyone was puzzled, Lu Su walked in from the outside.

"Prime Minister, I just received a report that General Yun Chang has led his army to break through Chen County, killed Ma Mengqi with his own hands, and regained the entire territory of Chen County!"

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

Tian Feng sighed and said: "Yun Chang is brave and worthy of being a general! Since then, only Runan is left in Yuzhou and has not been recovered. The day of Yuan Shu's demise is not far away!"

Xun Chen also nodded and said, "That's right, now under Yuan Shu's command, there are only Runan and Nanyang, who can win in a single battle."

Lin Chao continued to ask Lu Su: "Zijing, Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to reinforce Chen County before, but now that Chen County has been destroyed and Ma Mengqi is dead, what happened to Sun Ce?"

The combination of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu is still very interesting, although Sun Ce is not strong at this time.

"Sun Bofu reinforced Chen Jun, but he had only tens of thousands of people under his command, unable to break through the defense line of General Guan. When Chen County was broken, Sun Ce was still camping dozens of miles away. After hearing that Ma Mengqi was dead, he retreated to Runan gone."

Lin Chao nodded, then got up and smiled at everyone, "Such a great joy should be reported to His Majesty. Are you willing to go with XX?"

"Exactly."

The crowd laughed.

Subsequently, the cabinet ministers headed by Lin Chao walked into the Chongde Hall and told Liu Bei the news of the victory.

……

Five days later, Guan Yu, who had just regained Chen Jun, received an angel from Luoyang and Liu Bei's edict.

This edict is an edict to add Guan Yu as General Hussars.

Guan Yu was just General Zuo before, but later he made many military exploits, and now he has finally become a heavy general than Sangong.

"My lord, thank you for your grace!"

Guan Yu paid homage, took the edict with both hands, and turned his attention to the angel who came to read the edict.

Judging by the appearance of this person, he is not an eunuch...

Guan Yu thought to himself, then waved his hand and said: "The angel has come from a long way, the journey is hard, and I have prepared a little wine in the army, so I invite the angel to come in and talk."

"Thank you, General, for your hospitality, I am honored to be an officer!"

Although Pang Tong was a little short in stature, he had a really extraordinary bearing. The moment he spoke this time, he won Guan Yu's favor.

"Besides, there is one more thing to report to the general." Pang Tong said with a smile, "I am here not only to read the recruitment letter, but also to serve the army. Please don't hold it against me, the general."

Guan Yu asked suspiciously, "Is this an edict from His Majesty?"

"It's not His Majesty's edict, but the Prime Minister's order!"

As he said that, Pang Tong took out a letter and a transfer order that the prime minister's office and the cabinet jointly use.

Guan Yu glanced at the transfer order, opened the letter and read the contents, and fell into deep thought...

The same scene also happened on the Nanyang battlefield.

Liu Bei worshiped Zhao Yun as the chariot general, and the angel who came to read the recruitment letter was the second place in the scientific examination.

Looking at Fazheng, who was only 25 or six years old, but had an unruly appearance, Zhao Yun suddenly smiled, and immediately invited for a trial match.

"Military officer, this is Fa Xiaozhi, the No. [-] in the Luoyang scientific examination. In addition to reading the imperial edict, he is also ordered by the prime minister to come here to practice. If you are interested, you can support me."

Hearing that he was the second place in the imperial examination, and that he was someone that Lin Chao valued, the judge immediately regained his energy and looked Fazheng up and down.

Hmm... This kid is in good spirits, but his eyes are too annoying.

How can such a frivolous thing become a big deal?
Thinking of this, the examiner suddenly remembered a sentence that Lin Chao often said back then, and instantly understood Lin Chao's intentions, and the next moment he showed the same smile as Zhao Yun.

Forget it, a certain person reluctantly taught this kid for Lin Zichu, and made him suffer several beatings from the society every day.

On the other side of the Nanyang battlefield, the person who came to declare to Zhang Liao was Xu Shu.

The positions of hussars and chariots were given to Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and Liu Bei worshiped Zhang Liao as the former general who was the head of the generals of the Quartet, and he was considered a military officer better than Jiuqing.

Compared with Pang Tong's sharpness and Fazheng's unruliness, the middle-aged Xu Shu was much calmer, which Zhang Liao and Jushou admired very much.

At this time, Lu Bu, who was upstairs in Xiping County, was extremely irritable.

Apart from the fact that Zhang Liao's attack on the opposite side made it difficult for him to parry, his own supply road was actually cut off, and the army was on the verge of running out of supplies.

No matter how brave the elite is, they can't stand the three days without food in their stomachs.

Starting from mid-February, after Zhuge Liang intercepted Lu Bu's first wave of 30 shi of grain and grass, he was out of control.

After the first robbing of food, Zhuge Liang knew that Lu Bu could not suffer from this dumb loss, so he let the army under his command break up into pieces and hibernate.

As Zhuge Liang expected, Lu Bu did indeed send tens of thousands of troops to investigate the incident afterwards, but found nothing.

Yuan Shu was very furious when he learned about this, but the frontline battle was tight, so he had no choice but to tighten his belt, no matter how hard the people were, a month later he raised a batch of food and grass and shipped it over.

Then... was intercepted by Zhuge Liang and Guan Ping.

This time Lu Bu couldn't bear it any longer, and regardless of Zhang Liao's army just outside the city, he personally led his men to search along the grain road, trying to remove the nail.

However, Zhuge Liang had predicted Lu Bu's operation a long time ago, and led his army to Cao Cao's grain road, planning to fight him again.
