Destiny Only Han

Chapter 602 Xiao He: You stupid groundhog, if you don't get up again, I will kick your ass!

East Palace, Tianlu Pavilion.

In the empty hall, a man in gray linen was sitting at the front of his chest.

This is Zhidu who was found by Liu Ying.

He looks about 24 to [-] years old, with a tall and thin body, a square face with Chinese characters, dark complexion, concave eyes and eagle nose, but the non-aggressive prestige that made Xiao Xiao timid in the past has become cowardly and apprehension.

After all, this is the East Palace, and judging from the scorpion worn on the young man's head, he is at most a second-level superior, while the armored soldier standing at the gate of Tianlu Pavilion holding a halberd is at least a sixth-level official doctor.

Under the [-]th-class military merit system, ranks one to four are called "scholars", and ranks five to eight are called "bi-doctors". In the first class, unless they were veterans who followed Liu Bang from Hanzhong to the Three Qin Dynasty and destroyed Western Chu with the belief of death, it would be difficult to cross this class in a normal year.

Well, the veterans who came out of Mangdang Mountain and entered the pass to destroy Qin together, as long as they survived, their titles are at least the rank of 'Qing', Shiqing Shilu.

Therefore, Zhidu felt uneasy at the moment, but also had irrepressible ecstasy.

He used to be the son of an official, and his grandfather was a county magistrate in the state of Qin. Therefore, after he was literate, he entered a school in the county. He took the officials as his teachers and the law as his teacher. After studying hard for ten years, he could be a teacher, just like him. His father became a Qin official like that, and then he was promoted step by step in a down-to-earth manner, and he would eventually become Bailihou, that is, the county magistrate, just like his grandfather.

It's a pity that just a few years after he entered the office, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up. Heroes from all counties and counties in the world killed the officials appointed by the Qin State one after another, won Liang Yingying's followers, and gathered under the Zhang Chu regime...

His grandfather died in the rebellion, and his father took his family to escape and returned to his hometown with all his might.

Then there is Dahan Dingxin, but his father was labeled as a remnant of Legalism because he was a student. Even if he knows the law and can read and write, he can only be a low-level writer. No. 1 in overtime work, but don't even think about getting promoted and getting rich...

And he is even worse. If he is in other places, according to his education level and his knowledge of Han law, he will at least be a pavilion chief after passing the assessment, and it is possible to even become a "prison guard" in charge of litigation and prison. .

But the crux of the problem is that Hedong County is too thick...

In the past, after Han Xin destroyed the State of Wei, he conscripted troops out of Jingxing, and many of the soldiers who destroyed the State of Zhao in the final battle were soldiers from the State of Wei from Hedong County.

These people followed Han Xin and Liu Ying to destroy Qi, attacked and killed Longqi, and participated in the Battle of Gaixia.

Therefore, each of them has a high title.

Therefore, even if these guys don't know a lot of Chinese characters, they can still become local officials without trying.

After all, they have already proved their loyalty with their actual actions.

When the world is initially set, the most important thing is loyalty, absolute loyalty. As for ability and experience, it can be slowly acquired over time.

Therefore, even though Zhi has memorized the Han law upside down, and compiled the family's ancestral "Book of Shang Jun", "Shen Zi" and other fragments, he can still only be a soldier, and often has to fight with the thugs who resist arrest. You live and die, but you can only receive a little bit of grain and rice every month, which is no more than three or two liters more than farming...

Therefore, when the imperial court issued an announcement saying that it would recruit low-level officials such as pavilion chiefs for the newly conquered land through recruitment, they borrowed all their relatives and friends, and finally got enough money to come to Chang'an City to take the exam.

Even if Qianwei, Zangzang and other places are said to be remote, barbaric and desolate, full of smog...

But what surprised him was that there were more than 1 people who came to take the exam!
This is even more exciting than in Hedong County...

The important thing is that many of these people who came to take the exam have the same experience as him. They were born in a school, and they were designated as the remnants of the Legalist family. Although they are full of strategies, they are useless...

Because of this, during the days waiting for the start of the exam, Zhidu couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning, full of cranky thoughts, worrying about gains and losses.

Well, he's not worried that he won't face the elders in his hometown after failing the rankings. What he's worried about is that if he can't seek a higher position, he may have to live without food or drink for ten or eight years to pay off his debts. pay off...

After all, living in Chang'an is not easy.

When he was 'invited' into the East Palace by the guards of the East Palace before, he had already owed the rent of the family he was staying in for three days.

gollum...

Zhidu rubbed his stomach that was making bowel sounds, and thought about it carefully, the last time he ate seriously, it seemed to be the day before yesterday...

But it doesn't matter, he is now the guest of His Highness the Crown Prince, and after meeting the Crown Prince, he will be able to have a full meal no matter what!
At the very least, always give two pieces of bread...

While Zhidu endured the hunger and waited, the little servant who brought him in earlier called Zhongxing Shuo came rushing out again, saluted slightly and said:

"Your Highness has something to go out, so I won't come to see you today..."

"Huh? But..."

Zhi Du suddenly sat up straight, his face anxious, and there is a high probability that no one will take care of the meal if he doesn't see the prince. Could it be that he will be hungry for another day?
"What's the hurry? The Xun family hasn't finished talking yet!"

Bank of China waved his sleeves, frowned and continued: "Your Highness said, you take this badge and letter of appointment to report to the Young Army first, serve as the marching commander, and take charge of the accounts and military discipline..."

"Also, I heard that the Bashang Wharf is not peaceful these days! Some people secretly ganged up to try to monopolize the freight at the wharf, and forcefully expelled Lifu who came to the wharf from outside to beg for life, so I asked you to take care of it when you have free time. The pickled things that were promoted were directly killed and thrown into the river to feed the fish..."

After the Bank of China finished speaking, he handed the waist card and letter paper that he took out of his arms to Zhidu, his face suddenly changed, and he whispered with a smile: "If the Sima of the Marching Army becomes rich, don't forget the old Guide the way!"

A trace of disgust flashed in Zhidu's eyes, but he still nodded and bowed with a smile on his face, and he almost said the famous saying of Chen Sheng in the past.

Although he is a legalist, years of life in the pavilion has smoothed his edges and corners.

Or, it made him appreciate the true meaning of Legalism.

Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, ruthless!
......................................................

Prime Minister.

This is Xiao He's mansion. In the early Han Dynasty, there were many trivial matters, and there were a lot of meritorious officials who needed to be appeased, so there were Zuo Prime Minister, Right Prime Minister, Left and Right False Ministers, and the position of Xiangguo who had disappeared for many years.

Well, in fact, the name of this official position is called Xiangbang, but to avoid the taboo of Liu Bang's name, it was renamed Xiangguo.

The word "cheng" originally refers to officials who assist major officials in doing things.

The prime minister is the deputy of Xiangguo.

It's just that in order to curb the prime minister's power, after Lu Buwei's downfall, he no longer established a prime minister's country, but divided the prime minister's power into two, and the left and right prime ministers exercised the prime minister's power on his behalf.

Now Liu Bang's behavior can be regarded as restoring the old system.

At the gate, Liu Ying was wearing some old clothes, with her sleeves flicked, ignoring the announcement from the prime minister at the gate, and just walked towards the elegant house on the east side with a dull head.

Well, if anyone is familiar with him, they will find that his face is terribly dark now.

So, this is a hit!
With a creak, the door of Yashe's room was pushed open by Liu Ying. Xiao He, who was writing at his desk, raised his head and saw Liu Ying who walked in angrily.

Liu Ying simply bowed down and saluted, then lay on the ground stretched all over the place, yelling: "Give me back the book, or I won't leave, I won't leave..."

Looking at Liu Ying who was throwing and rolling all over the floor, Xiao He felt that his head was getting bigger, and at the same time he also understood why he was wearing some old clothes today.

"Nonsense, don't even look at this place? Get up..."

"I don't care, I don't care! Teacher, those are orphan copies! Do you understand the orphan copies? You can borrow them as soon as you borrow them, but return them after you finish reading them! If you don't return them, my editor at the Hongwen Library will How can I continue..."

Liu Ying lay down on the ground, stretching her legs and hands, just like he did in Zhang Liang's mansion before.

A few days ago, he asked about the progress of compiling the "Encyclopedia of the Great Han", but he didn't know about it without asking. After asking, he found that many of the lone books and fragments that were snatched from the Xianyang Palace were borrowed by the big bosses in the court... …

Just borrow it, and remember to return it after copying.

But they just borrow and don't pay back!
The most irritating ones are actually not the scribes like Xiao He, Zhang Liangshu, Sun Tong, but the big bastards like Fan Kui and Zhou Bo who make Liu Ying particularly annoyed!

Others borrow books either for reading or for copying, but those guys don’t read them at all, it’s just for pretense...

There is a banquet on weekdays, and it is specially held in the study, showing off my collection of books to the guests who come to the banquet...

Liu Ying decided to take back the books collected by Zhang Liang and Xiao He first, and then took the guards of the East Palace to raid Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo's house!

Well, there is also Han Xin!

That guy 'borrowed' military classics such as "Sima Fa" and "Wei Liaozi" and Liu Ying didn't say anything. What is "Spring and Autumn" doing?
Want to be Guan Erye?

After Liu Ying howled loudly, rolled from the east side of the room to the west side of the room, and almost cleaned the elegant house for Xiao He, Xiao He finally couldn't take it anymore, and waved for the bewildered Prime Minister to come in.

"Okay, okay, stop howling, just return the books to you for the teacher... I'm really stingy, didn't I just borrow a few books from you? Go away after taking them, and don't care about the meal today!"

Liu Ying sat up abruptly, looking at the boxes of bamboo slips and books brought out from the room, especially many of which had been stamped with Xiao He's personal seal, her face became darker and darker.

How many books is this called?

And, no matter the meal?

Beautiful!
