The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

This is the first time that the Chu army, which has just gone through the war, has been given a complete rest. During this rest, King Nie Zefeng of Chu also began to pay attention to his own internal policies, and wanted to change the internal policies that he had neglected.At this time, Cao Jie, who is the relative of the Cao family in the hall, can only protect the rights of the entire Cao family if he maintains the rights of the nobles.Above the main hall, Cao Jie was exchanging views with Jia Xu extensively.

A look of surprise appeared on Jia Xu's face.

The concubine Cao Jie said: "Let him play around for a while, but I don't care about it at all. As a princess, I must manage the harem well. The Jiangdong envoy Sun Shangxiang came. Are you going to get married?"

Jia Xu said strangely to herself: "Big marriage? Why is the King of Chu..."

The concubine Cao Jie said impatiently, and at the same time said helplessly as a woman: "Well, the king of Chu has a high status now. With me as a concubine, he has learned to steal his words. He has to be disciplined! Be a man King, you have to conform to your own status, eat all kinds of wild food, how decent? Since Jiangdong wants to form an alliance with us and send a married man at the same time, then I will leave this matter to you!"

"As ordered!"

After Cai Xu finished speaking, he withdrew from the main hall and began to gather,

At this time, Nie Zefeng had just returned to his study from the corridor.

After a while, Nie Zefeng came in and shouted after entering the door: "Ma Liang!...Get out of here quickly, I have some fun today!"

But at this time, the guard came out to welcome Ma Liang, but Ma Liang was nowhere to be seen.

Nie Zefeng asked: "Where is the person?" Seeing that there was no one for a long time, Nie Zefeng continued to curse: "Hurry up and find him."

The guard hurriedly responded: "The decree of the humble position---"

The guard hinted with his eyes that a court lady stepped forward to undress Nie Zefeng.

Nie Zefeng stretched his arms to cooperate, and when he turned around, Nie Zefeng was stunned.

The shame-faced court lady was actually the maid whom she had passed by in the study.

Nie Zefeng looked suspiciously at the guards who hadn't left yet.

The guard quickly explained: "This is Ling'er, this is sent by the princess to serve the king..."

"Princess?" Nie Zefeng suddenly turned to look at Ling'er, looking sharply into Ling'er's eyes.

Nie Zefeng held back his mouth and said, "Have you told the princess?"

Linger plopped down on her knees, and then said aggrievedly: "How dare Linger talk too much, the princess's eyes are all over the palace..."

Nie Zefeng was furious, and violently grabbed the clothes, snatched them from Ling'er, and threw them to the guards.

Nie Zefeng said fiercely: "Eyes? Princess' eyes? Can you guarantee that you are not?..."

Ling'er cried, and then said in tears: "Where is the slave girl so bold, it's really..."

Nie Zefeng waved his hand and reprimanded: "Stop talking, guard, send me back to my king, don't want this kind of person by my king's side!"

Suddenly, Nie Zefeng laughed suddenly, and then said: "Actually, I have nothing to hide from the princess... Okay, since you are here, you can take good care of me, and I don't care. If you don't get up, Bring me some looser clothes!"

Ling'er wiped away her tears.

Nie Zefeng looked at the guards eagerly and said, "My concubine, although I come from a noble family, her Cao family has fallen, and their Yuan family has beaten me to the ground. Now the number one family in the world is my Nie family... "

The guard reminded: "Although the princess is the only Cao family member of the Cao family, the reason why the Central Plains can be peaceful is because you married the Cao family as your concubine. If this is not the case, then the Central Plains will be restless."

Just like that, it gradually became quiet, and the whole city of Ye entered into a quiet night.

And in Zhuge Liang's mansion in Nanjun, Jingzhou thousands of miles away.

An official car from the Public Transport Department arrived at the door.

The officials who got off reported loudly: "By the order of the King of Chu, I invite the virtuous Zhuge Liang to board the car and go to Beijing!"

The official walked into the room, and the arrogant Zhuge Liang said to the official: "How about it, the king of Chu is looking for me!" clothes……"

Zhuge Liang said nonchalantly: "Whatever clothes you change, you can choose what you usually wear, just like this square scarf with big sleeves, comfortable, comfortable!"

The official replied helplessly: "That, that, you have to bring some books!"

Zhuge Liang patted his chest, and then said loudly: "This book is all in the old man's chest!"

Zhuge Liang went out boldly, chanting loudly all the way: "Looking up to the sky and going out laughing, I'm from Penghao!"

In order to show how much he attaches importance to these people, Nie Zefeng named the east gate in front of the Palace of Chu as Sima Gate, and told them that the people who walked in here were Sima officials.

On this day, the Sima Gate was opened, and guards of the imperial guards armed with halberds lined up, passed the Tianshui Bridge, and reached the front of the Political Hall.

A muffled drum sounded.

More than a hundred virtuous people recommended by various places lined up outside the court gate.

The Jingyang bell rang.The virtuous men lined up to enter the hall one by one.

When they walked into the main hall, the hall was full of desks, and all kinds of stationery were displayed on the desks.The virtuous men are all in their positions, waiting to stand before their cases.

There was a whip.

At this time, Nie Zefeng's palace chariot was slowly approaching, guided by the etiquette of the inner court.

At this time, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Ma Liang, Yi Ji and other ministers lined up in a line of invigilators, with solemn expressions.

People of filial piety and integrity everywhere are even more sincere and fearful.

Forty deacons guided Nie Zefeng to the hall.

The ceremonial officer shouted loudly: "The king of Chu is here---"

Nie Zefeng stepped into the hall, and with a bang, everyone in the hall knelt down.

Nie Zefeng stepped straight onto the throne, his eyes were all over the place.

His Highness praised: "The king of Chu is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

After taking his position, Nie Zefeng waved his hand and said, "Let's all get flat----"

After Nie Zefeng's words were finished, there was another sound from the entire hall.

Seeing countless young talents, Nie Zefeng couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and said: "Since I came to the throne, I have never wanted to govern the Han Dynasty well, but I have not found some virtuous people to enrich the court. This time I call you to Yecheng , I hope you can each do your best to provide good solutions for the country.”

After Nie Zefeng finished speaking, he looked at Xun Yu again.

Xun Yu looked at Ma Liang again.

Ma Liang, the invigilator, announced: "The test is starting now, and the topic is 'The Reasons for Conquering Chaos in Ancient and Modern Times, and the Way of Long-term Peace and Peace.'"

After hearing Ma Liang's announcement of the topic, the virtuous men bent down and started to write.

A guard turned on the hourglass timer in the temple.

Seeing their efforts, Nie Zefeng got off the throne and walked behind the examinees.

At this time, Zhuge Liang in the main hall was holding a pen and running calligraphy with ease.

Nie Zefeng patrolled the land and saw the styles of all kinds of virtuous people.

Pang Tong's handwriting is beautiful, and he corrects mistakes with a knife from time to time, meticulous.Nie Zefeng couldn't help liking it a little, but he shook his head again, because he knew that this was a step-by-step talent, not a talent for leaping attacks.

He also saw Kong Rong's capable demeanor and quick thinking.Nie Zefeng's eyes lit up immediately, because he knew that this was a talent that could be put to great use.

The exam was going on, and the hourglass placed next to the throne in the main hall silently leaked sand to keep time.

Nie Zefeng walked towards the side hall with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he entered the side hall, Nie Zefeng saw for the first time that it was a white-haired and bearded Lang Guan standing on duty in the side hall.

Nie Zefeng walked up to him and asked with respect, "Are you Lang Guan?"

The old man hurriedly saluted and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, it was during the time of Emperor Ling. I have served Jizhou Governor Han Fu, General Yuan Shao, and Young General Yuan Shang successively."

Nie Zefeng waved his hand at him, motioning for him to come over.

Seeing the call from the King of Chu, Lao Lang Guan came over at a loss.

Nie Zefeng clapped his hands at him, and said excitedly, "Play chess."

A waiter put the chessboard on the table.

Nie Zefeng called the old man to sit down, handed the dice to the old man and said, "You come, you come first."

Lao Langguan smiled, and then said with a smile: "I come first?" He shook the dice and made a move.

Nie Zefeng got up too, and asked, "How old are you?"

Lao Langguan smiled, and then said complacently: "63."

Nie Zefeng laughed, and jokingly said, "That's an old man."

The old man sighed and said, "It's not a good time either!"

Nie Zefeng encouraged: "You can still be a virtuous person. I see that there are candidates of your age among the candidates."

The old man comforted himself and said: "I can't catch up. In the past, the lords liked well-written articles, but the minister was good at martial arts; the Emperor Ling liked the old ones, but the minister was too young at that time; now the king likes the young ones, But the minister is already old! I haven't caught up with one step, and I can't catch up with every step."

Nie Zefeng laughed again, and then said: "That's why this king wants to promote the virtuous. He needs to be appointed regularly. Whether it's literary, military, old or young, as long as there is talent, this king will hire it! What do you think? Is that good?"

The old man looked enviously into the hall, and then couldn't help saying: "Good! Good! Good! These virtuous people, it's time to catch up!"

At this time, the hourglass records the time-consuming palace test.

In the background came the palace chanting: "The time has come, close the scroll!"

Then another voice came out: "The virtuous people can go back to the bus department and wait for the news of the test plan!"

Nie Zefeng smiled and said, "Old Langguan, I'm here today. I still have things to do. I'll play chess with you another day."

The old man hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, "Respectfully send off the king!"

When Nie Zefeng was about to leave, he left another sentence and said, "Old man, your monthly salary will be doubled."

Hearing Nie Zefeng's order, the old man cried out excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The old man, seeing Nie Zefeng walking away, couldn't help sighing, "Hero, hero!"

However, after Nie Zefeng walked out, another brilliant era of martial arts opened for him.
