Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1590
Mu Jing is also very concerned about the upcoming state test.

After all, this is the first imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty. The success of the county examination does not mean anything, but if the state examination can be successful, it means that the imperial examination already has the value of existence.

The chief examiner of the state examination is still Shi Xie, and the chief examiner of the imperial examination is still the chief examiner of the imperial examination.

The imperial examination committee has already begun to thank guests behind closed doors, and is preparing to make a proposition.

There was a dispute over the last proposition, which led to a tight time for the entire county exam, and was forced to postpone it for some time. It was originally scheduled for [-], but it was finally pushed to [-] before the exam.

This time, it is natural to learn a lesson, and before June, the proposition of the state examination must be completed.

Shi Xie's request for a meeting once again showed that there were still some different opinions on the proposition.

"What's Cai Xiang's opinion?"

Mu Jing still took good care of his own people, Shi Xie was handpicked by him to be the head of the Education Department, and he was also a thorn in Cai Yong's side.

At this time, he asked for help, and he couldn't stay out of it.

"Cai Xiang meant that the questions on Confucianism and mathematics and science can follow the model of the county exam, but on the main topic, he wants to talk about the system of the previous dynasty!"

Shi Xie said in a low voice.

"On the system of the previous dynasty?"

Mu Jing was a little surprised, but he quickly figured out Cai Yong's thoughts, he laughed, and said: "What a good Mr. Cai, he is indeed a ghost, an old man, this old guy's thoughts are getting more and more serious. It has become strange, before it was still upright, but this time it knows how to be devious!"

The New Deal is tantamount to reforming the law and changing the system. What is changed is the law of the previous dynasty, and what should be the system of the previous dynasty. At this time, Cai Yong’s proposition on the system of the previous dynasty in the imperial examination is an opportunity to express his views on the face of it, but In fact, it is to put pressure on the New Deal. If most people think that the previous system is suitable for use, then the existence of the New Deal will become embarrassing.

It's not impossible.

The former government has existed for many years, and the system is deeply rooted. Many people have accepted it. The New Deal has not yet been implemented, and there is still no way to judge whether it is right or wrong. For many people, new things may not be easy to accept.

What's more important is Shilin. If some articles are leaked, Shilin will inevitably set off a storm, and it will be Mujing's turn to have a headache.

"Your Majesty, the subject is against it!"

Whether Shi Xie wanted to show his loyalty or his own thoughts, at least he was sitting on the same boat as Mu Jing now. After he handed over Jiaozhou, he knew that he had to hold Mu Jing's thigh tightly. Only then can he gain a foothold on this court.

Although the scholar's family is in Jiaozhou, it can be regarded as a well-known family, but looking at the Central Plains, it is indeed a low-level barbarian. In the final analysis, Shilin has nothing to do with him.

Moreover, Shi Xie is not a pedantic person. In the world of great changes, if he falters, he will undoubtedly die. As long as he catches the one he is looking for, even if he loses, he will go all the way to the dark, which is the right way.

"Why object?"

Mu Jing waved his hand and said, "This is a good thing!"

"Good thing?"

Shi Xie was a little confused.

"The new policy is the new policy of the people of the world, not my new policy alone. Whether the new policy is good or the old system can give them a better life, this needs to be known by the common people, and also needs to be known by the officials!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "Since Cai Xiang wants people all over the world to discuss this dynasties, then I will allow him. The state examination in July will be based on this proposition. I want to see it. What kind of thoughts do scholars in Ming Dynasty have?"

He is indeed persistent, and believes that the old system will lead to turmoil sooner or later only if the new deal is established. Therefore, the new deal must be promoted to make the court of Ming Dynasty more efficient and the administration of officials more clear.

But it is impossible for him to disregard everyone's thoughts. This world is not his alone. He has known this for a long time, so if the situation is unstoppable, he also has enough patience to hold back his edge temporarily, wait for the opportunity, and make a comeback. Instead of letting Daming fall into civil strife because of the New Deal.

Since Cai Yong gave him a god-sent opportunity, he just pushed the boat along.

"Tell Cai Xiang not only to talk about the system of the previous dynasty, but also to add another topic, the new policy and the old system!" Mu Jing thought for a while and said, "Since he wants to stir up trouble, I will give him something to add to the flames." Oil, I just want to see if this fire can burn vigorously!"

"promise!"

Seeing the confidence on Mu Jing's face, Shi Xie felt a slight tremor in his heart. It seemed that he underestimated His Majesty too much. How could His Majesty not have confidence if he dared to do something.

"Shi Xie, the prefectural examination is an important part of the Ming Dynasty's imperial examinations. A scholar can gain fame, but a candidate can fill in the gaps and become an official. There must be no mistakes!"

Mu Jing reminded Shi Xie, saying: "I have to select candidates under the imperial examination. They are all the most outstanding talents in today's world!"

"Your Majesty, I won't disappoint Your Majesty. No matter who it is or which state it is, I will send someone to keep an eye on it. I will ensure that no one can play tricks in the exam and get a real level in the exam to be selected for Daming." A real talent!"

Shi Xie said in a deep voice.

It is his honor to be able to open a subject for the Ming Dynasty. In the future, the history will say that the first chief examiner of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Examination, that is his scholar Xie.

This alone is enough for him to become excited, a scholar, a good fame, if he can leave his name in history, he will die without regret.

"It's enough to have a bottom in your heart!"

Mu Jing still trusted Shi Xie. This scholar who had been a prince of Jiaozhou was a rare talent. If he made good use of him, he would have the opportunity to join the cabinet and participate in politics in the future.

And this time the imperial examination will bring him supreme honor, it just depends on whether he can handle it well.

..............................

In Yudu City, the official office of the Imperial Examination Committee began to be completely closed. Cai Yong, Shi Xie, and Sima Hui, who had a heavy responsibility, were all eating and drinking in the official office of the Imperial Examination Committee at this moment.

Proposition continues.

This time the proposition, because there is a consensus, it seems to be a little smoother, but with the responsibility for every scholar, each question has to be selected countless times.

So the efficiency is not fast.

And when the Ming State Examination was about to start, the Great War in the Central Plains was also in full swing, and the decisive battle at Guandu had already begun.

On the bank of the Yellow River.

Zhou army camp.

On a tall general platform, Yuan Shao was wearing a battle armor and holding a long sword, step by step, along the wooden steps, walked up to the high platform.

His gaze swept across, and the surrounding area was filled with darkness.

Every soldier below is the last main force of the Zhou army, but the scene obviously couldn't be quiet, because the soldiers were all whispering.

"Gu, Yuan Benchu!" Yuan Shao was also a general with good martial arts, he was full of energy, and with a roar, the audience suddenly became silent.

"Your Majesty?"

"The Great King has finally appeared!"

"Your Majesty should give us an explanation!"

"The giant deer was breached, but the king stood still and ignored our homeland. If there is no explanation for this matter, how dare we fight again!"

As soon as everyone saw Yuan Shao's figure, they immediately shouted, "Yanzhao has many brave men, and many of the soldiers who are serving are Yanzhao people."

So at this moment, even if they were facing Yuan Shao, they were very courageous.

"Quiet!"

Yuan Shao let out an angry roar, and the sound waves spread everywhere, instantly suppressing all voices.

"Some of the sons present here know Gu, and some don't know Gu, and they are stationed in Hebei alone. There should be a Lord of Fuming, and the ambition of the world!"

Yuan Shao's voice was not in a hurry, but it was full of energy and loud, and successfully attracted the eyes of every Zhou army officer.

"But now, the emperor is in trouble, and the courtiers are in power. We are both the subjects of the Han Dynasty and the vassal state of the Han Dynasty, so we must serve the Han Dynasty!" Yuan Shao's principles are also the same.

"I know that the generals cherish their hometown and are worried about Hebei, but now Hebei has become the target of public criticism. The Yan people have no way, tear up the covenant, and slaughter my people, they should be killed!"

"The people of Wu who aided Zhou in his cruelty and invaded Qingzhou should also be killed!"

"But if you come back to help, do you have the confidence to win a big victory and drive out the bandits?" Yuan Shao's voice became hysterical: "Whether you have confidence or not, you don't have confidence, you really don't The ability and confidence to hold on to Hebei today, I am sorry for you alone!"

"My lord, are we going to hand over Hebei to others?" Someone asked roaringly.

"Of course not!" Yuan Shao replied, angrily said: "I am the king of Zhou, the lord of Hebei, whoever dares to take Hebei from me, I will do my best!"

"Then why isn't your majesty desperate!"

"Because we can't win!" Yuan Shao said loudly, "You guys know how many traitors from the Wei army are waiting for us to withdraw our troops in front of us!"

Hearing this, all the soldiers felt a sudden chill in their hearts.

They were all heading towards Hebei, which was about to be breached, but they forgot that the opposing soldiers in front of them had at least more than a hundred thousand elite main forces. Once they pounced on them, they would die first.

"I am unable to defend Hebei. This is a serious crime. I would like to thank the people of Hebei for my sin. However, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say whether it is right or wrong. At this point, we have no way out of Hebei. More than [-] troops have gathered here. There is not much food and grass. You have two choices, either surrender to the Wei army, or fight hard!"

Yuan Shao drew his sword, raised his fingers, and with a voice like thunder, he shouted angrily: "No matter what decision you make, Gu can tell you, Gu can lose, Zhou can perish, and the world can live without the Yuan family, but Gu will never." I'm willing to fight with my life, I'd rather die than surrender!"

"I would rather die than surrender!"

"I would rather die than surrender!"

"I would rather die than surrender!"

The heartfelt voice of a commander can inspire countless soldiers. Yuan Shao himself is from a very high family background. At this moment, his closeness to the people has touched countless soldiers.

Yuan Shao continued his efforts, and he shouted desperately: "If you are willing to fight with me, after this battle, you will share the world with you alone!"

"If we win this battle, we will enter the Central Plains!"

"If we win this battle, we can force the bandits back and regain Hebei!"

"If you win this battle, fame and fortune, beautiful women and riches will come rolling in!"

"If this battle is won, saving the Son of Heaven will be a great achievement, and it will be a matter of making him a Marquis and Prime Minister!"

His voice formed a sound wave, roaring out with powerful inner strength, one wave after another, ferocious like a tiger, quickly spread to the ears of all the soldiers.

"This battle is a battle of life and death. You are willing to live and die with Gu, and fight hard!"

Yuan Shao shouted like thunder, his voice undulating.

The generals and soldiers of the Zhou army were all excited when they heard this.

No matter what they thought before, but now, they looked at Yuan Shao with admiration. If Yuan Shao dared to fight, they would dare to fight. If the general dared to fight, they would dare to fight to the death.

This is the mind of an ordinary soldier. They often don't have much concept of life and death. Instead, they just care about what the superiors do, so they do.

"kill!"

All the anger burst out.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The endless killing intent stretched ten miles away.

................................................

"Zhou Jun made an oath, they are going to cross the river, quickly report to the king!" Wei Jun's spies were terrified when they saw this scene, and quickly returned to report to Cao Cao.

"Sworn!"

Cao Cao was in the process of pulling out his camp, the main force had advanced more than [-] miles, the entire battlefield had already moved up to Guandu, and he started contacting the Zhou army's vanguard.

At this time, Cao Cao was not surprised to receive news that Zhou Jun had sworn to fight. After all, he had already made some mental preparations.

"Feng Xiao, when do you think Yuan Benchu's main force will be able to cross the river?"

Cao Cao asked.

"today!"

Guo Jia answered directly without even thinking about it.

"Why?" Cao Cao was puzzled, "Doesn't he need to take a break?"

"Because of time!" Guo Jia replied: "Yuan Shao raised his morale with great difficulty. He will not allow Zhou Jun's morale to collapse, so he must be fast, and soldiers are very fast, so he will definitely let Zhou Jun die today. The main force directly crossed the river, killed Yanjin, directly entered Guandu, and fought us head-on. No matter how many plots there were, Yuan Shao couldn't take care of him anymore. He could only forcefully push him over, no matter what price he paid , In this battle, there are only loses and wins, there will be no retreat!"

"Tough battle!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, raised a bitter smile, and said, "It seems that this battle is going to be miserable!"

"My lord, at this moment, we can't have other thoughts. If we want to exchange the least casualties for the greatest victory, that's wishful thinking. Only the brave who meet on a narrow road wins!"

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins?"

Cao Cao's pupils opened, his expression became brighter, and he said: "This statement is justified. If we think about those who have something at this moment, we will be overwhelmed by Yuan Benchu's courage!"

"My lord, I have a plan!"

"Say!"

"First strike is stronger!"

"how to spell?"

"Go all the way to Yanjin, all the way to attack Wuchao, and then go all the way to the white horse, three ways to bloom, first push back Yuan Shao's momentum, and then fight them to the death!"

"allow!"

Cao Cao thought about it, and immediately agreed to Guo Jia's idea, saying: "You pass on the military order immediately, let all the ministries mobilize, and order Lu Bu to fight first!"

"Yes!"

Guo Jia quickly sent an order to pass on the military order.

"Listen to orders!"

Lu Bu was the vanguard of the army. After receiving the military order, he led the cavalry to enter first and directly entered the Yanjin battlefield.
