Dajin royal family

Chapter 569
The Jin family has always lived in the orthodoxy of the world, not to mention that King Zhao fought in the South and the North, and defeated one rebel after another, making the Northern Jin Dynasty the strongest separatist force in the world, so this time the imperial examination is open to the whole world.

Except for the counties and counties occupied by the Northern Jin Dynasty, which adopted fixed quotas for selection, if scholars in other places wanted to take part in the imperial examination and become an official in the Northern Jin Dynasty, they had to be recommended by the officials of the Northern Jin Dynasty.

There are two purposes for doing this. The first is naturally to absorb talents from all over the world, and the second is to enhance the centripetal force of the Northern Jin Dynasty and make more gentry lean towards the Northern Jin Dynasty.

At the same time, this is also for the consideration of scholars and officials from the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Qingzhou and even more remote areas.

You can't favor one over another.

Sang's Restaurant.

As in the past, there was a lot of people here, and merchants, scholars, travelers, etc. from the past gathered together. In addition to discussing major events in the world, the center of the topic this time could not escape the news of the "imperial examination" announced by the imperial court.

"We have a good family background, why do we use this imperial examination to get in the way, what do you think of the court officials!" A scholar commented loudly: "Forgive me to speak bluntly, King Zhao's move is not in accordance with the etiquette system, it is pure nonsense! "

"Mother, who did you scold just now!"

With a 'boom', several senior and three rough sergeants stood up suddenly, and stared at the arrogant soldier before with unfriendly faces.

The movement here attracted the attention of everyone on the first floor of the restaurant. Most of the people, like the sergeant, were staring at the soldier, waiting for his explanation.

Needless to say, the prestige of King Zhao in the army, the people of Bingzhou respected King Zhao even more because of the last case, so naturally no one else could slander King Zhao.

If the scholar didn't give an explanation, it would be difficult for him to get out of the wine shop today.

The anger was unstoppable, and the scholar hurriedly confessed.

Someone sneered and said: "What are you dissatisfied with? The imperial edict said that you should choose the best. If you really have real talents and learning, you can go to the imperial examination and slander the king here. Be careful of your dog head!"

The scholar blushed, covered his face and fled.

"Tsk, that person actually expressed the feelings of some of the children of the aristocratic family who are rich and rich." Sang Lou said with a smile.

Sang Lou was leading Pei Ningwen upstairs, when he heard the movement on the first floor, he stopped and listened for a while, then sneered.

Immediately, the two went upstairs and entered a private room.

In the private room, there was already a big man waiting.

"Brother Ma has been waiting for a long time." Sang Lou cupped his hands towards Ma Zheng.

When the three of them were seated, Ma Zheng looked at Pei Ningwen, his eyes flickering.

"Mr. Pei, has there been any movement in the court recently?"

"Don't you all know that the biggest news is about the imperial examination." He picked up the wine cup and took a sip.

"Fart!" Ma Zheng slapped the desk, the wine cup shook and fell to the ground, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

"Peining, you have to understand that you are in the same boat with us now, if you are disobedient, you know what will happen to you!"

Pei Ning's face turned dark, "I didn't lie to you, there is really nothing wrong with the court."

Hearing this, Ma Zheng sneered and said, "You didn't know about the last investigation, but you didn't even know that the soldiers from the Northern Jin Dynasty entered Hanzhong this time!"

"What, the Northern Jin Dynasty attacked Hanzhong?" Pei Ningwen and Sang Lou lost their voices at the same time.

They didn't know the news at all, and there was no news in Taiyuan.

"You are still hiding it!" Ma Zheng said coldly: "The [-] vanguard troops of the Northern Jin Dynasty entered Hanzhong in April, and now the whole Hanzhong has fallen. You are still pretending not to know. It seems that you will not cry when you see the coffin. Don't forget, the mother and daughter are in my hands!"

Hearing this, Pei Ning's face turned pale in an instant, his fists were tightly clenched, and his nails turned white.

Sang Lou reminded from the side: "My lord, just say what you have, you have to understand."

Some things don't need to be said too clearly, he believes that Pei Ning can understand the meaning of his words.

Pei Ningfan explained in a low voice: "I really don't know about this matter. All the planning of military operations in the court was made by the generals of Wuyuan Palace, and my grandfather didn't know about it either."

"Do you have a way to enter Wuyuan Hall?" Ma Zheng asked.

Pei Ning was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "How is this possible? Those who can enter the Wuyuan Palace are either the confidants of King Zhao or high-ranking generals. Almost no courtiers can enter, not to mention that I am only white."

Hearing this, Ma Zheng gritted his teeth, his face was ugly, and after a long while, he cursed 'trash'.

Sang Lou quickly asked, "Brother Ma, what's going on?"

Ma Zheng said gloomyly: "Around April, the front line received news that the Northern Jin Dynasty ordered Li Yaoshi, who was guarding Guanzhong, to lead an army to attack Hanzhong. County, to this day, the entire Hanzhong has fallen!"

"It's too fast." Sang Lou gasped.

"Hanzhong Bashu is a mess, how can it resist the Northern Jin Dynasty." Ma Zheng took a sip of wine, then stared at Pei Ningwen fiercely, and warned: "There will be no next time, otherwise I will send the mother and daughter to Dali Si, I'll see what you do when the time comes!"

"Don't!" Pei Ning said quickly: "Don't, I will cooperate with you, don't!"

"Huh!" Ma Zheng snorted coldly, and continued: "This time we are going to ship out a batch of ordnance and war horses, you know how to do it."

Pei Ning said hesitantly: "Would you like to postpone it, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have been here these days?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Ma Zheng staring at him coldly.

When the words came to his lips, Pei Ningyan swallowed them down, and said weakly: "I know."

"roll!"

Pei Ning got up and left, and left the room in a daze.

"It's not enough to succeed, but it's more than failure. I thought he, the son of the Pei family, could be of some use, but I didn't expect him to be just a piece of trash, not even the concubine Pei Yuanyan!" After Ma Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Sang Lou, which meant how did you find it This waste.

Sang Lou also gave a wry smile, how did he know that Pei Ningfan had never been able to become an official.

"Brother Ma, what's the situation over there now?"

"It's not very good. In the great battle years ago, almost half of the North Korean army's strength was lost. In addition, Guanzhong fell into the hands of the Northern Jin Dynasty. The Jin army in Tongguan is a huge threat, let alone Yu Chijing who is stationed in the Central Plains." Ma Zhengdao.

As Xu Guo's secret agent, Ma Zheng now deeply understands the crisis Xu Guo is facing.

After the last war, Xu Guo lost his city and land, and now he is trapped by the Northern Jin Dynasty.This time, the Northern Jin Dynasty sent troops out of Hanzhong in a grand manner, because the armies of the Central Plains and Hanoi counties could attack the state of Xu at any time without fear.

His elder brother Ma Yong once told him that if the Northern Jin Dynasty captured Hanzhong and Bashu, the situation Xu Guo would face would be even more dangerous.

Basically, the Northern Jin Dynasty can be regarded as a tiger digesting food, and when it finishes digesting, it will definitely eat Xu Guo as the next piece of fat.

"Then should we do something here?" Sang Lou suggested, "Such as assassination"

Ma Zheng frowned and pondered, "We'll wait for the news from Luoyang."

Zhaowang Palace, Wuyuan Palace.

In front of Jiang Chengxiao was the 'Hanzhong Bashu Kanyu Map'.At present, Hanzhong has planted the black flag of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and there are [-] troops of the Northern Jin Dynasty hoarding there.

The attack on Hanzhong can be said to be a matter of course.Firstly, the forces in Bashu Hanzhong were scattered, and secondly, there were no other threats around the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Because of the need to recuperate and rectify the administration of officials, Jiang Chengxiao will not start a large-scale war this year, but small-scale wars can still be carried out in the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Hanzhong can be regarded as the gateway of Guanzhong in the south, not to mention the food production in this place, the strategic position alone is quite important.What's more, no one dislikes their own land.

"The next step is Bashu." Jiang Chengxiao pointed to Bashu.

He must take this place, because in the future, going south to attack Liang Guo and Chen Guo, and going down the upper reaches of the Yangtze River will be far more beneficial than storming the big river.

However, he was a little worried about Liang Guo's reaction now.

At this moment, Shisan came out from the dark.

"My lord, there is no movement on Chen Guo's side for the time being."

"Over there, can you persuade Sima Fa to persuade Chen Qiujin to send troops to Xiao Liang?" Jiang Chengxiao asked.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Chen Qiujin has ignored the government for a long time and has been in the harem all day long."

This made Jiang Chengxiao smile wryly. In fact, he was happy to see Chen Qiujin go on like this, but the problem was that he hoped that Chen Guo could restrain Xiao Liang.

"You send a letter to Shi Er to let him try."

"Yes."

Shisan retreated, while Jiang Chengxiao frowned and looked at Kanyu map.

Now there is no movement on Xu Guo's side, presumably he is trying to recover his strength, and the only one who needs to be on guard is Xiao Liang.

You can't pin your hopes on Chen Guo.

"Jiyun!"

Nan Jiyun walked in from the outside.

"Lord."

"Order Li Yaoshi to take down Bashu, and if he encounters Liang Jun, fight back with all his strength!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, for the safety of Tongguan, [-] new troops were withdrawn from Bingzhou to garrison Tongguan."

"Yes."

After the beginning of the new year, the number of recruits has reached [-], and the [-] new troops are the first batch of training completed. With He Fubo's ability to defend Tongguan, it is more than enough.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, Xu Guo has to be on guard.
