Chapter 358 I am the world
The examinees walked into the school field one by one according to their respective codes, and the soldiers checked them one by one. Compared with the last time, the soldiers borrowed by Cai Yong had studied the requirements of the assessment stipulated by the law overnight in advance. What they have learned, conducting interrogation, if there is a mistake, they will be punished by military law. Under such circumstances, they must also go all out.

All kinds of local dialects are noisy outside the school grounds. The Han Dynasty has a vast territory. Many scholars have never left their homes. They don’t even understand the elegant dialect. The communication is very confusing. That is, in the future assessment, rules must be set, only scholars who understand the elegant language are allowed to participate, and as the candidates enter one by one, the outside of the school is also strictly blocked.

The candidates were all taken to the backyard, where they rested and waited.

Cai Yong arrived at the school grounds in a bullock cart, and soon there were soldiers coming out to greet him, and walked into the big grounds. Cai Yong personally inspected and counted the seats, pens, inks and papers. On all the papers, There is a column of small characters written "gifted by the old Sikong Wenren". This is the paper that Wenrenxi provided for the assessment at the beginning. After his death, the officials added such a sentence on the paper to commemorate him.

This time there are still four subjects, which are the same as before. However, in order to prevent leaks, Cai Yong did not go around looking for others to write questions for it. He brought his confidantes in the mansion to sacrifice wine, drafted the questions, and made changes on his own. , there will be no danger of leaking the subject, Cai Yong sat on the main seat, the officials also stood in their respective positions, and the assessment officially began.

Scholars came out one after another, their respective serial numbers were already on the case books, they sat in their seats, and immediately officials came to conduct a final interrogation, and only then began to announce the titles, the most important being the scripture titles, However, the scripture questions this time surprised many people. In the past, Confucius and Mencius were all tested, but this time, the whole article is full of He Zi said
Many people beat their chests and paused, oops, I should have thought of it long ago, this time the chief official is the prince, the prince is in charge of rams, and he is a disciple of He Zi, of course this content is more biased towards He Zi, they It was only afterwards that I realized it and started to answer the questions. Many people looked at the small column of words on the paper in doubt, and some didn't understand what it meant. Could it be a hint for answering the questions?

Cai Yong frowned and stared at them.

It didn't take long before the soldiers outside the door started to move around suddenly. Many scholars were tempted to turn their heads to look, and saw a young man walking like a tiger, dressed in dragon cloud and wearing a flying fish on his waist. Surrounded by many soldiers, they walked in. Seeing his slightly bloated figure, everyone knew in their hearts that this must be the prince.

The little fat man walked in cheerfully, ready to greet everyone, when he turned his head, he saw Cai Yong sitting on the main seat, the little fat man was stunned immediately, since he was beaten in the palace last time, he He never met Cai Gong again, and he didn't dare to rush to Cai's mansion again. It was really embarrassing to meet him now, the little fat man cleared his throat, walked in front of Cai Yong, and bowed his hands.

"Meet my son-in-law, sir." The little fat man didn't know how to address him.

Cai Yong's expression was extremely unkind. He no longer had the slightest liking for the fat man who wanted to abduct his daughter. He nodded indifferently and said nothing. Seeing him like this, the little fat man dared not say anything again. Pretentious, sat on one side honestly, looked at the students below, the students were all feeling in their hearts, the prince has the style of His Majesty, so courteous and respectful to the great sage, what a great fellow!

When the time was up, the students handed in their examination papers, bowed to Cai Yong and the prince again, and then turned and left.

This assessment will take a full seven days. During this period, many places will be affected. For example, Xing Ziang, who just prepared to build a network of main roads in the north covering the entire north, forcibly The stop, on the one hand, is to not affect the traffic at this time, and on the other hand, most of the scholars who are helping the government at the local level have gone to Luoyang.

However, Xing Ziang didn't feel that there was anything wrong. In these days, his policy had begun to bear fruit. In some counties that were not far away, there had been some stable roads that allowed two carriages to pass side by side. The connection between them and the development of the local area are of great significance. Cao Cao also implemented a policy similar to that of Xing Ziang in Sanhan.

Many arteries were built, and refugees were recruited from Buyeo and other areas for their own use. The crew from Yangzhou hadn't felt the Three Hans yet, so Cao Cao could only temporarily change the policy of governing the Three Hans, and make fundamental changes first. However, he felt that sooner or later shipping would become one of the important sources of income for the Samhan area, so he still did not give up on the construction of the wharf on the coast.

Soon, it will be cold winter, and winter is not suitable for any construction. Therefore, all parts of the world are busy, wanting to complete more important things as soon as possible before winter comes.

Jianning 17th, November

The assessment has been completed, and the crowns of all subjects have appeared. Unlike the past, the emperor did not meet him in person, and asked the prince to do it for him. The prince met with them cordially in the hall, and appointed officials. At the end of the assessment, there were no mistakes or omissions in this period. There was only one thing that made the prince hesitate.

The champion of mathematics, Xun Yu, is still young in grades. Even if he wins the crown of mathematics, it is not easy to appoint an official position. The lower one is an official. The prince thought for a long time, and then he kept him by his side as the prince's family. Seeing that he is of the same family as his master, the emperor praised his approach very much, and said with some relief: "My son can know people."

Such a joyous and gentle atmosphere lasted until the end of the month.

At the end of the month, snowstorms broke out everywhere. He Xinyou waited for several states. Houses collapsed, people froze to death, hundreds of people were frostbitten, and livestock were countless. Fortunately, Xing Ziang was in the north. He immediately summoned a number of governors and started disaster relief at the same time. The Sanhan area was less affected by the disaster, and it assumed the pressure of disaster relief in other areas. Due to blocked roads and canals, the relief in the temples could not reach the disaster-stricken areas in time.

Although many localities had made preparations to resist the severe winter, the disaster was still severe, and the emperor wanted to make trouble. After reading the report, he also fell silent.

Speechless.

Because most of these frostbitten victims were local officials. These young officials braved the wind and snow to investigate the situation and walked around. They were the ones who caused the most casualties. Some of them were crushed under the snow, some Some were frozen to death, and some fell off the cliff. What else could the emperor ask? Sitting in the palace, wouldn’t it be useless to insult these officials who died for the country?

The emperor stood in the courtyard, raised his head, and looked at the heavy snow.

Stretch out your hand and watch the snowflakes gradually disappear in the palm of your hand.

Song Dian persuaded him, hoping that the emperor could return to the hall.

"Song Dian."

"nation."

"You said. The trend of the sky, people can block it?"

Song Dian widened his eyes, thought for a moment, and replied: "I don't know, the country forgives the crime."

"What I mean is that everything in this world is unstoppable. So is Zong Tianji."

The emperor looked up at the sky, his eyes gradually turned cold, just like this winter.
