Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 444: The smell of rice in a pot
Chu State's first imperial examination was undoubtedly very influential, but it was still far from the natural launch of the "Salty Envoy Knowing the News", and Bai Tu did not deliberately promote it.

According to Yu Ji's prediction, if it could unify the world or make the imperial examination more popular among the people, it should be possible to directly use the "Xianshi Zhiwen" to announce the results.

Although it is useless, but...it has cards!

Even now, after the imperial examination results were released, countless people poured out of Jinling to spread the news to various places, and official signal towers began to transmit news to the outside world.

In a few days, Song Zhong will know that his student has won the first place in the criminal department. I wonder if it will be a "surprise" then.

But for Pan Jun's top spot, Bai Tu is very trustworthy. Unlike Song Zhong, Pan Jun's history without the White Rabbit Effect, although not brilliant, can be said to be successful.

According to original history, Song Zhong was responsible for delivering the surrender watch when Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao. He was captured alive by Guan Yu on the way. Although Liu Bei did not harm him due to his reputation and released him, he reprimanded him for being shameless, and because Song Zhong's son would later be involved. Wei was implicated in the rebellion against Cao Pi, and Song Zhong also had a bad reputation in both Wei and Wu...

In history, after Pan Jun became an official in Wu Kingdom, he not only had literary and military achievements, but also repeatedly remonstrated with Sun Quan and reprimanded Lu Yi when Sun Quan doted on Quan and trusted Lu Yi. Seeing that Sun Quan was indifferent, he even held a banquet for officials. Prepare to kill Lu Yi personally at home.

Therefore, later generations have much praise for it!
With clear logic, strong reasoning ability, and an upright character, perhaps in the original history, he could only be regarded as a mid-level military merit and could not be displayed, but in the position of the Ministry of Justice, Bai Tu was very relieved.

The second and third in the criminal department are He Qi and Chen Jiao respectively. They are both upright and upright, and they are both "natives" of the Chu State. He Qi was born in Kuaiji County. He served as a county official in his early years and killed another man. The name is based on Shanyue's affiliation, and he is a county official in the township on weekdays, and leads people to quell the chaos in Shanyue that occurs afterwards;

Chen Jiao was from Guangling, Xuzhou. He was also in the Chu State today, but historically he served in the Wei State. When he was appointed as the important governor of Wei County, he found that because of the troubled times, cases were generally not tried in Wei County. In order to stir up trouble, he rectified the criminal proceedings and sorted out the large and small cases that Wei County had detained for more than a long time...

Bai Tu was very satisfied with the top three in the Criminal Section, but what really surprised Bai Tu were the second-placed Guo Huai in the Military Section and the second-step stallion in the Hu Section!
It's not that these two people are more eye-catching than Fazheng and Zhuge Jin, but because these two people are among the top three in each subject, and they are the only two scholars who are not from the Chu Kingdom.

Guo Huai is from Taiyuan, Bingzhou. The Guo family in Taiyuan has reached the level of an aristocratic family. This time Guo Huai is going south alone, but later he will move some of his clan members to settle in Chu State - equivalent to the situation of Gan family and Gan Ning.

Bu Zhao is a native of Xiapi, Xuzhou. Historically, the Bu family migrated to Jiangdong in the years when Cao, Liu, and Lu Bu fought in Xuzhou. However, under the "White Rabbit Effect", Xuzhou has been harmed by Cao Cao once, and has been in the country ever since. Under Liu Bei's rule, the country was relatively stable and the Bu family did not move south.

But Bu Zhao also took part in the imperial examination this time, and was preparing to move his family south across the Huaihe River and move to Huainan!
After all, Xiapi is only separated by a river from Huainan. The Bu family originally had many industries in Huainan and had opened several workshops in Shouchun, so it was not a big pain to move.

In comparison, the other scholars were either from Chu, or those who were already in the bowl, such as Fazheng and Zhuge Jin. Bai Tu naturally paid more attention to what was in the pot. After all, domestic flowers did not have the fragrance of wild flowers... Well, it was for eating. Looking at the food in the bowl and looking at the pot... No, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as... In short, this means that talents from outside Chu State are also being attracted to Chu State.

Guo Huai and Bu Zhi were "robbed" by Bai Tu from Liu Bei and Gao Gan!

There is another case of this kind in Yijia, and he is also from a famous family, that is Fu Qian, a native of Liangzhou North—his father is Fu Xie who originally advocated the preservation of Liangzhou.

Fu Qian is nearly thirty years old and can be considered the oldest among the imperial examination scholars.

At this age and background, it was natural for him to become an official long ago.

Originally served as an official of Cao Cao in history, when Yuan Shang wanted to unite with Ma Teng, he went to Xiliang to persuade Ma Teng and Cao Cao to join forces to attack Yuan; but under the "white rabbit effect", Fu Gan was in the Han Dynasty when he left Xudu. Later, he defected to the imperial court!

In order to protect Liangzhou, Fu Xie scolded Cui Lie at the court meeting, and he always had a bad relationship with the eunuchs. The eunuch Zhao Zhong tried to induce him to become a marquis, but Fu Xie could not change his mind, and he was finally kicked out of the court. Liangzhou took office as the governor of Hanyang.

Fifteen years ago, Wang Guo and Han Sui rebelled. Because Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, refused to listen to dissuasion and risked his own life for taking credit, Ma Teng, who served as army commander, took the lead in defecting to the enemy and rebelled, while Fu Xie stayed alone in Ji County.

At that time, there were thousands of Huns cavalry in the rebel army. Feeling sorry for Fu Xie's kindness, they knelt down outside the city and begged him to surrender. They promised to send him back to the north safely. Fu Qian, who was only 13 years old, also persuaded his father to lament Liu Hong's fatuousness and stupidity. When eunuchs are in power, it is better to return to their hometowns to recruit heroes and wait for virtuous people to be born in the future...

However, Fu Xie insisted that even King Zhou of Shang had Boyi to guard his integrity. Liu Hong was not as stupid as King Zhou of Shang. He was also the governor of Hanyang. Now that he had reached this stage, he could only die here and die in the city.

At the same time, Fu Xie was not so loyal as to suppress his son. He only said that he had to die, but did not deny Fu Qian. Instead, he told him that Yang Hui, the chief secretary, was Cheng Ying of the Fu family - that is, he ran away with the Zhao orphan. That one.

In the end, Yang Hui did indeed escape from Ji County with Fu Gan. On the one hand, Yang Hui had his own connections, and on the other hand... with Fu Xie's prestige, many rebels and Huns were unwilling to embarrass his descendants.

But during this year, Fu Qian was very unhappy in the court.

He could understand that now the Han Dynasty must unite all the forces supporting the Han Dynasty, but he understood that he had always been worried about the fact that Ma Teng was granted the title of Yonghou and Han Sui was granted the title of Zhaihou.

Moreover, Fu Qian was not a pure and selfless person. Since he was grudged against them, he would intentionally or unintentionally gossip about them in court. Looking back, Fu Qian also felt that what he did was not very aboveboard.

The direct result of this was that Fu Qian was also run out of power by Dong Cheng in the court. After all, in order to counter Liu Bei, Dong Cheng had always been on good terms with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and tried his best to assure Liu Xie that Ma and Han were the most powerful. Loyal minister...

Fu Qian felt that if he continued to stay in the court, he would not only be dissatisfied, but might even do something even less upright due to psychological imbalance, so he signed up and left after learning the news about the Chu State's imperial examination.

With the title of "Fu Xie's son", Fu Qian had just arrived in Jinling, and many officials were willing to recommend him. After Fu Qian expressed his desire to participate in the imperial examination, many people were willing to help, and finally Lu Bu personally Being his recommender saved him from the county examination which was too late.

The top three in seven subjects, a total of 16 people, are all ranked first-class. In addition, there are five people who have a high enough average score and are also ranked first-class. Among the 21 people, talents from outside Chu State account for [-]%. There were three cases, and this did not include the talents who had moved their families to Yangzhou before.

Undoubtedly, it also reflects the Chu State’s determination to welcome talents from the Central Plains, Bashu, Yongliang, and the North, and actively join Chu. It has also made many talents and families who had been interested in it dispel their doubts and make up their minds!
