Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 729 Conspiracy and Conspiracy

"His Majesty!!!"

A mighty hundreds of people worshiped at the same time. Liu Chang sat on the top seat, staring at them very indifferently, without saying a word.

The more than a hundred people kneeling in front of Liu Chang are the most famous celebrities in Liang's country.

That is to say, those who lead their disciples to criticize temple policies all day long.

The big man is not convicted by words now. Empress Lu abolished this decree, so it is not illegal to refute the temple's policy in a strict sense, and these celebrities cherish their feathers very much, at least on the surface, He has achieved no loss of personal morality, has a good reputation, and has many disciples. He even has some credit for cultivating talents. It is not an easy task to govern them.

They also did not openly confront the temple, such as smashing the assessment place, but they thought the temple's policy was inappropriate when they were giving lectures. They took this as their own suggestion and did not think it was a violation of the temple's decree , and their influence is here, unless you meet strong officials, no matter if you arrest them directly, you can't convict them. You can't kill people just because they have opinions on the temple's policies. ?

After Chao Cuo's restructuring, the big man became more and more inclined to the rule of law.

The role played by the officials themselves is constantly being weakened. It is no longer possible for a ruthless person to serve as a local high-ranking official to kill the Quartet unscrupulously as in the past. Today's big men must speak the law.

The common people at the bottom, including these celebrities, have many opportunities to sue.

The celebrity who spoke just now had already started to pant heavily, "Why did Your Majesty humiliate us like this?!"

Lu Lu frowned, "It will make Liang people feel that these old guys really have no talent, and they are not even comparable to those young people."

Someone couldn't help it anymore, "Your Majesty!! It's not that Liang Guo has no sages!!"

"Your Majesty, what is the confusion?"

Lu Lu also smiled wryly, "Your Majesty said that, so who can bear it? Liang Guo's famous scholars are already proud, and you also said that you want to give Xia Guo the same treatment. I see those gray-haired people Your Majesty, the old celebrity almost lost his temper. What he said made them all scramble to participate in the assessment. They originally opposed the assessment, but now they have no talent. If it spreads, the impact will be huge. Bigger."

"Which one is Han Anguo?"

Mr. Guo snorted displeasedly, turned around and wanted to leave, walked a few steps, stopped and warned: "If you dare to inform His Majesty, you are a sinner of Liang Guo!"

"Is this the Liang country full of talents?"

"Assessment is disrespect to scholars!!"

"Your Majesty, this is called cursing, not debating."

Being summoned by the emperor suddenly said that only Liang is not in Liang, none of these celebrities could tolerate it.

"Okay. Since you have such confidence, I'm going to take the first and second exams. I'm confused, and I want to ask you for advice."

"Master, please die!!!"

From Chao Cuo's perspective, such a development is correct.

By this time, celebrities are unwilling to leave. Is it okay to leave now?What has become of this?If His Majesty sits back and watches that Liang Guo has no talent, how can they hold their heads up in the future?How to recruit disciples? ?Just by tarnishing the reputation of my hometown, those people in the village will not forgive me, and I might spit on my own head, this is not good! !Absolutely not! !
But Liu Chang didn't give them this chance at all, he turned around and left, leaving only a group of Liang Guo celebrities in an uproar.

Liu Chang stroked his chin lightly, "Isn't it disrespectful? That's a good reason. It's okay to use it to fool those brats outside, but you can't fool me. You obviously don't know how to do it, so why pretend Disdain?"

More and more scholars rushed to Chang'an, and they all asked His Majesty to start the assessment, wanting to prove their talents, and let His Majesty take back that sentence.

The faces of the celebrities were pale, and they clenched their hands tightly, trembling uncontrollably.

This is a typical conspiracy, which cannot be deciphered except for self-proof.

"If they don't spread the word, how can they feel ashamed?"

"But they can completely say that they don't bother to take the exam seriously and give up the opportunity to those young people."

The famous scholars were speechless, looked at each other in blank dismay, suppressed the anger in their hearts, and the famous scholar just now couldn't help but said: "If Your Majesty is willing, you can test our knowledge! If we can't answer Your Majesty's question, we will Accept His Majesty's evaluation, if His Majesty thinks our answer is good, please don't be so humiliated!!"

"It's not that Liang Guo lacks talented people! None of us here are afraid of such an assessment!!"

"Since there are sages, why can't we see any of them? Why are there so few people in the assessment, and why are the grades so low?! The people who participated in the assessment in Wei State were all from Zhao, Qi, and Chu. Then you What did Liang Ren do?!"

Han Anguo's face became even more bitter.

"You go and send someone to tie up that man named Han Anguo and make him take part in this assessment. I will use him to deal a severe blow to these self-esteemed celebrities!"

When Mr. Tian heard this man's words, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

"Then what can we do? Do we have to pass the assessment and then be a local official with peace of mind? With our identity, being a local official? Isn't this a humiliation to us? Besides, there are so many of us, and Liang Guozhi is behind us." People, as long as your majesty is not willing to lose the hearts of the people of Liang, he will definitely not kill us, if he executes us, then the scholars of Liang will definitely not be convinced, you don’t have to worry, can you handle this matter with us?”

If local officials are allowed to make their own decisions, kill as much as they want, and arrest as much as they want, then I don’t know how many unjust cases will be brought about, and how many people will be harmed. Otherwise, these officials who represent the temple will cause the big man to lose his prestige among the people, and there will be big problems.

Mr. Tian glanced at him and shook his head, "What else can we do? We can only participate in the assessment and prove ourselves. Your Majesty has the mouthpiece of the world. If we don't participate, we will really bear the reputation of being incompetent. It is looked down upon by the servants”

The celebrities have their own ghosts, but the scholars are full of enthusiasm.

Under the impetus of caring people, the story of Wei Bu Zai Liang spread completely.

"Well, if they dare to say that, then there will be confrontations between the young scholars and the old celebrities. I think they can instigate who will do things in the future?"

Liu Chang sneered, "Everyone. When I came here, I heard that there are countless talented people in Liang Guo, but I don't quite believe this statement."

Liu Chang couldn't help laughing when he heard the man's words.

Finally, His Majesty also set up an assessment. This time, the number of people in the assessment is still quite large, including many current positions in Liang Guo. It seems that he wants to fill them all at once.

"Forget it. I won't embarrass you."

"Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!"

"It's very simple. Participate in the assessment first, which is unavoidable. But after passing, we will directly submit a letter asking for a collective resignation. In this way, we can counter His Majesty's policy and let everyone in the world see it. The strength of man. As long as we resign many people, His Majesty may not kill us all. In the end, we will be imprisoned for a period of time. , but being a distinguished guest and accepting gifts from others can still allow us to continue our studies."

Mr. Tian stood up and said in grief and indignation: "Your Majesty!! Please conduct the assessment in person!!"

After this person finished speaking, he immediately regretted it, and the rest of the celebrities also fell silent immediately.

Mr. Tian hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.

After Liu Chang comforted them a few words, they were driven away.

Of course, this kind of development has both advantages and disadvantages. The romance of the big man who is famous and governing the world has been weakened, but it has also effectively controlled the unscrupulousness of local officials.

Mr. Guo laughed, "Your Majesty's plan is good, but unfortunately, there is one thing, Your Majesty is still too young."

His friends held him tightly, "No way! Who can compare to you in knowledge?! Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family and country!"

"Tian Gong, His Majesty's conspiracy has made us so passive, what do you think?"

Looking at the people below who were gritting their teeth so hard that they almost crushed their teeth, Lu Lu took a step back cautiously. The ability of this disgusting person, Your Majesty, is still the same as before.

"Then why can't you pass the test?!"

"Your Majesty is already quite dissatisfied with us. If we act like this, I'm afraid it will lead to death!"

Just when several people were arguing, suddenly a soldier approached the door.

"It's not even as good as South Vietnam."

Not only among the scholars, but even among the common people at the bottom, it caused an uproar.

Of course celebrities are most concerned about celebrities, this is their job.

Liu Chang shook his head, "If you fail the exam, you will commit suicide? This is not what a man should do. Don't misunderstand me. As I said, this time is to care for you and give you many benefits. If you still feel that you fail the exam, I can do it." If you improve your treatment, you can slightly surpass Xiting Kingdom. After all, there were more than 300 scholars in Xiting Kingdom who passed the assessment last year, and the number is increasing. Maybe they will surpass you soon. You can recruit some scholars from there to teach you."

Within the rules, these celebrities are not afraid of anything, but when facing Liu Chang, who is not within the rules, they start to panic.

It might as well just beat us up! !
At this moment, Mr. Guo, a famous Confucian scholar, found Mr. Tian who was standing in front of the palace gate, frowning and thinking hard.

Want Liang Guo to go to Xiting and Xia Guo? ?Who is this humiliating? !We are a big country in the Central Plains, how can we be like those barbarians? !

Back in the side room, Liu Chang couldn't help laughing.

"There are assessments everywhere, but Liang Guo's score is the worst."

"It's not that I can't! It's that I don't want to!"

"what"

"I have long decided to work on farming with peace of mind and no longer teach my disciples. The reason why I didn't leave this time is because I can't embarrass my hometown. I'm old anyway. If I pass the assessment, I may not be able to be an official for long."

"it's me."

Lu Lu asked curiously: "Then what is His Majesty going to do next? Are you going to let them all participate in the assessment?"

"Don't tell me about the past, what I'm talking about is Liang Guo today!"

Although bullying the weak and fearing the hard, but after all, it was the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and celebrities still had some persistence in their hearts, including their attachment to their hometown. Humiliation of a person's hometown is already a very serious humiliation. Among the great Han who ruled the country with filial piety, it is second only to humiliate parents.

"I've always been puzzled, why doesn't Liang Guo have any talented people?"

Mr. Tian, ​​who had been talking all the time, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"The best talents in the world are not in Liang!!!"

"Spread it, you just have to spread it!"

"Chen Chen is proficient in the theory of Han Zi!!"

Liu Chang said loudly. At that moment, even the most docile celebrities got a little angry, and someone got up immediately, "Your Majesty!! There are not many sages in Liang Guo, Li Kui and Wu Qi in the past."

"Hehe, appreciation? What do you appreciate? You can't even pass the assessment? What are you going to do?! What can you do other than stand here and stick your neck out?!"

Liu Chang looked at them sympathetically and shook his head.

"Your Majesty has heard of your reputation and wants you to participate in the assessment!"

Liu Changchang sighed and shook his head, "Forget it, I called you here today, in fact, I just want to give you some books as a gift. The temple compiled a set of enlightenment books not long ago. I want to give it to you so that you can learn more. Learning, you can improve a little bit. Unexpectedly, you feel humiliated. This is not humiliating you. I care about you very much. I know that Liang Guo’s scholars are not good. Don’t worry, I will give you an order. The exam questions have been made simpler. By the way, in the future you Liang Kingdom will be able to enjoy the same treatment as Xiting Kingdom, Xia Kingdom, Nanyue Kingdom and other places, and scholars will be given priority in admission when they participate in the assessment."

There are a lot of scholars coming from all over the world, but King Liang has plenty of places for them to participate in the assessment, and the place is set in King Liang's Dongyuan, which is a treasure hunting place.

"You guys go back first. It's okay, you will definitely pass the assessment in the future!"

Han Anguo looked very calm, "I don't have any talent, so I have to take part in the assessment. Isn't this to be true to His Majesty's words? Liang Guo must have talents, although they are not as good as Chang'an, we can let them go"

The celebrity who was waiting for His Majesty's question just now couldn't bear it any longer when he heard this question. He risked being killed, stood up directly, and retorted: "Your Majesty!! It's not that there are no talents, it's just that there are no talents to appreciate. A worthy king!"

In this era when the country complex is very strong, His Majesty's words are simply contempt for all Liang people, even the grooms who drive can't help it, let alone those young scholars?
They gathered one after another and rushed towards the capital. They wanted to prove that Liang Guo was not without talents!
And Han Anguo, who was about to leave for Qi, was also stopped by a few of his friends.

"Anguo, among the young scholars of Liang Guo, you are the only one with the highest talent. Can you tolerate your majesty's words?! Liang is the only talented person in the world?! What a shame!"

"There is no such good thing. Just these people, even if they become officials, they will not be good officials. I don't do these things to get the loyalty of these people. I want to drag them and spread the news. If there are enough people, we will set up an assessment to be stricter for these so-called masters, and send some points to those young juniors. When a large number of young people pass the assessment, these so-called celebrities will fail. What do you think will happen?"

First, he was so pissed off by Han Anguo's Lizi, and now he is humiliated by the emperor.

"I'm not a tyrant like my father. I can't kill them directly without a good reason, but I can argue with them through legitimate means. It's a pity that Fu Qiubo is not here, otherwise I must have a debate with them on Confucianism! !"

"Those people in Taixue debate and beat people, why is it not a debate?"

All of a sudden, the sages of the Liang Kingdom were rushing to the capital, but none of those celebrities left. They could not fail to see that this was more or less His Majesty's method of provoking generals, forcing them to participate in the assessment, but they did not The way, His Majesty killed them because they did not participate in the assessment due to their lack of talent. If they did not prove themselves, their reputation would be rotten, and they would even be looked down upon by everyone. The consequences are too serious.

"Oh? What can Mr. Guo do?"

"I called you here today, and I didn't mean to humiliate you. You are not talented enough, not as good as other counties. It's nothing. After all, you are not in Liang!"

"Hahaha, I haven't used this provocative method for a long time, I didn't expect it to be as powerful as before!"

Seeing that the emperor wanted to ask for advice, the celebrities raised their heads one after another.

"What talents do you Liang have? Even ancient people like Wu Qi went to other countries?!"

Before the celebrities came here, they thought about many possibilities. The emperor might beat them up, scold them, or kill them. But they never thought that it would be like this. Hanging up and humiliating, I obviously didn't go to the assessment because I opposed the assessment system. How could it be because of lack of ability?Also invite scholars from Xiting Kingdom to teach us?Look I don't spit in his face! !What a shame! !
With Mr. Tian at the beginning, several celebrities stood up, "Your Majesty!! Please set up an assessment now, let us prove our talents!!"

There are capable ministers, but there are also many treacherous ministers.

If you say this, then they are not afraid.

Han Anguo was also among these scholars, and began to participate in this assessment with trepidation.

There are four items in the assessment, and it is not too difficult to complete within two days.

During this period of time, Liu Chang did not show his face, but more and more officials and soldiers came to invigilate the examination. Several newspapers in Liang State reported this incident. What happened in Liang State attracted the attention of the whole world. Most eyes.

The assessment was over soon, and the celebrities looked at each other with a smile in their eyes with confidence.

Now, just waiting for the results to come out, they can show the emperor a great show of resigning!
