I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 236 Zhuge Kongming
The son of heaven was young, the heroes rose together, the rites collapsed and the music was destroyed, the people lived in dire straits, and the great man had reached the point of decay and no cure. If Li Shimin hadn't unified the four northern states, plus Yongzhou and Sili, what would happen here? Where did the people have a good day?How could these poor scholars have the opportunity to take such an imperial examination?

How to choose is naturally clear at a glance. The so-called butt determines the head. These scholars from the states and counties under Li Shimin's jurisdiction naturally have nothing to hesitate.

The people's hearts are peaceful and the people's hearts are settled. The whole world is looking forward to the emergence of a hero to end this troubled world, and Li Shimin is such a hero, with the heroic spirit to unify the world.

Seeing that only a small number of scholars had left, Li Shimin was also determined. He actually wanted to use this method to exclude some diehards who were loyal to the great Han, and leave some usable talents who were really willing to contribute to themselves.

Another purpose is to test the attitude of the people in the world towards him. Today's scene made him very excited, at least it shows that these scholars recognize him, and the people in the states and counties he governs are also towards him. Years of hard work has paid off.

How can this not excite Li Shimin?

After two hours of answering, the scholar left the examination hall with a sense of relief. Thinking back to the scene of answering just now, everyone was in a complicated mood with mixed feelings, but none of them regretted their choice, maybe there was nothing good in the first place regrettable.

Under the joint examination of the papers by the chief examiner Cai Yong and several assistant examiners, finally everyone selected the top [-] scholars with quick thinking and real talents, and discarded some flashy and colorful articles.

This standard for selecting scholars is also strongly demanded by Li Shimin, but freezing three feet is not a one-day cold. Convey your own standards for being a scholar, so as to promote the talents of these countries to devote some energy to national affairs.

Concerned about the court situation, concerned about national affairs, cared about the suffering of the people.

In this answer sheet, many scholars wrote and wrote that they could not do without "caring for the princes and coming to people from afar", and they were still emphasizing etiquette and the art of probation, which was naturally not what Li Shimin wanted.

Cai Yong and a group of deputy examiners brought the top ten outstanding scholars selected by them, and asked Li Shimin to hand-pick the top three.

Li Shimin read the recommended test papers in a happy mood, feeling as if he had passed away. In his previous life, he liked hand-picked champions and new scholars.

With the joy of harvest on his face, he casually asked: "Have you found any amazing scholars?"

Xu Shu said thoughtfully: "My lord, I paid special attention to the person you mentioned today. He should appear among the scholars in the examination. I didn't get too close in order not to startle the enemy, but basically he can confirm."

"Oh, are you serious?" Li Shimin asked with bright eyes.

"My lord, although I haven't seen this person for many years, you can't go wrong with this person's aura of Qinghua, his gestures and gestures revealing a compelling aura. I have secretly sent someone to watch this person. He lives in Fulin, east of Chang'an City. The inn, I can’t escape.”

"Oh, is his test paper among these ten people?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Yes, this answer sheet is recognized by all of us as ranked first in the first class. The writing is fluent, the thinking is clear, and it has a high level of thinking. It can be said to have a unique insight. It is very rare. The strategy proposed for the unification of the world is very feasible. .” Xu Shu said in admiration.

Li Shimin quickly picked up the answer sheet, and saw the word Kongming written on it, Li Shimin's heart jumped wildly, seeing that this person's idea of ​​unifying the world coincided with his own, first Yizhou and Jingzhou, then the Central Plains, and finally Jiangdong , And also wrote a practical plan.

The importance of occupying Yizhou was particularly emphasized. Once Yizhou is captured, the world will be pacified just around the corner.

"Come on, prepare your horse, hurry to Fulin Inn, temporarily close the four doors, and no one can come in or out." Li Shimin arranged eagerly.

He was just worried that this person would run away from under his nose. After all, it was really hard to control his temper for such a rare person who was hard to come by. If he were to let him go, it would be too late for regret.

Everyone galloped all the way, galloping wildly in Chang'an City, the soldiers of the patrol battalion saw that there were people in Chang'an City, and immediately wanted to take down these criminals, but after a closer look, it was their lord and a few gentlemen who hurriedly helped to clear the road , to prevent hitting passers-by.

When they arrived at the Fulin Inn, the person in charge of tracking hurried up to report: "My lord, the Confucian scholar inside is still there and hasn't left."

Li Shimin straightened his clothes, leaving everyone behind, and was going to go in alone, to meet this man he admired for a while.

Li Shimin walked into the Tianzi No. [-] room with great excitement, and saw a white-clothed Confucian scholar in the room. what.

Seeing Li Shimin coming, the Confucian scholar in white saluted respectfully: "Zhuge Kongming, a man from the mountains, has met General Tiance."

This person was Zhuge Liang whom Li Shimin had been expecting for a long time. It seemed that he was patiently waiting for Li Shimin's arrival here, and he was not surprised to see him coming.

In fact, Xu Shu had already recommended Zhuge Liang to Li Shimin many times. The two were old acquaintances. They used to study astronomy and geography at Mr. Shui Jing's place, so they naturally knew about this man's talent.

"Mr. Kong Ming, maybe you don't believe it. In fact, in the past of our divine religion, the name of Mr. was not known to others, but I am very familiar with him. The people of the world admire your talent, and now you are finally looking forward to it. It is really a blessing to God. Haha." Li Shimin gave a deep salute and said with a big laugh.

"General, it's absurd. People in the mountains and fields can't afford such a great reputation." Zhuge Liang said modestly.

"Mr. Kong Ming, I think you already know why I am here. The people of the world are thirsty for talents. I hope that you can come out to help me, unify the world as soon as possible, and return the common people to a bright future. The people of the world have this ambition and the strength." After all, I bow down solemnly.

"General, please rise up, thank you for your great love, general's celestial appearance, great talent and general plan, Liang admires him very much. After the general appeared, the sky has become clear, and the pattern of three stars that might have appeared has been completely broken. How dare Liang go against the sky? All right, do that unwise thing." The conversation changed and he said: "It's just that Liang has some doubts in his heart, and I want to ask the general to clarify my doubts, but I don't know if the general is willing?" Zhuge Liang didn't agree, but put on a gesture of asking for advice .
