At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 144, Disappointed Jing Yi and the gathering of talents

After this experience, Zhou Zhang started the imperial examination throughout the Han Dynasty, and notices of the imperial examination were posted all over the cities, counties and villages in the Han Dynasty.

When they heard the news about the imperial examination, the children of these big families were extremely excited at first, thinking that the King of Han was going to recruit talented people. However, when they saw that Xu Fan wanted them to be field officials with a salary of not even a hundred stones, they were all very disappointed. Such a position What do they want for it.

There is also a very disappointed person in Yang County, and he is Jing Yi.

When his son informed him that Xu Fan would be crowned King of Chu, he was so excited that he even found the official uniforms of his family's former Chu state.

Although Xu Fan is not a clan member of the Chu State, after the restoration of the Chu Kingdom, Xu Fan will definitely need their clan members to at least build an archway. With his decades of friendship with Zhou Zhang, and the large number of their families, Xu Fan will definitely need them. He held high-power positions such as Sanlu Dafu, Ling Yin, and Shangzhu Kingdom for the first time. Xu Fan had to win over these dignitaries from the previous dynasty if he wanted the Chu Kingdom to be worthy of its name.

But things took a turn for the worse later. Qin Jia from Sishui County approached Jing Ju, a member of his own clan, in advance and asked Jing Ju to be crowned King of Chu.

When Jing Yi found out about this, he became furious. Qin Jia's identity, power, and prestige, and what contribution he had made to the revival of Chu State, he dared to support him as the King of Chu!

The most important thing is that he supports the king of Chu. What will Xu Fan do?

This matter won't cause any trouble, right?

Sure enough, the more you are afraid of something, the more likely it is!

Not long after, news came from Nanjun that Xu Fan was worried about the enemy's swordsmanship, so he gave up the title of King of Chu and changed his name to King of Han.

This has nothing to do with Xu Fan, nor does it have anything to do with the senior generals of the rebel army. But for Jing Yi, it was no less than a bolt from the blue. Xu Fan called him the King of Han, not the King of Chu. This place became the Kingdom of Han, not the Kingdom of Chu. So what was the significance of his status as a clan member of the Chu Kingdom?

This kind of ups and downs in life made Jing Yi unable to get sick.

But the subsequent announcement of the imperial examination gave Jing Yi hope. The Jing family didn't have many things but a large number of people. According to the above statement, almost all members of his Jing family could pass the examination.

So he summoned all the clan members in Yang County: "You all need to take the Han imperial examination for me. You must pass the exam."

"What's the use of such a small official? As members of the Chu State clan, Xu Fan didn't say he would give us a county guard, but he should also give us the position of county magistrate. If he doesn't give us anything now, it's too much to bully others. " Jing Yi's nephew said disdainfully.

The children of the Jing family were as disappointed as Jing Yi at this time. Originally, they thought that with the restoration of the Chu State, they could restore their family's glorious status and restore their former wealthy life.

As a result, Kong was happy and one could imagine the inner disappointment. They were naturally full of hatred for Xu Fan. They felt that Xu Fan had occupied the land of Chu State but did not leave any benefit to their clan members. The dove occupied the magpie's nest and bullied Too many people.

"You are outrageous, Xu Fan is what you can say. Tell me King Han, if you dare to be so lawless again, I will kill you here with a stick to avoid bringing harm to the family." Jing Yi said angrily.

Others were too frightened to speak out. The prestige of the patriarch was still very high. They knew that the Prime Minister of Han Dynasty, Zhou Zhang, was the patriarch's close friend. With this status, they were even more afraid to offend the patriarch.

"The Kingdom of Han is newly established. Although you are just a field official now, as long as you work hard, you will be promoted quickly. Now I tell you that as long as you can pass the exam, you will work hard for the rebels. The monthly salary given to you by the family will be increased by three Times, if you fail the exam, the number will be doubled, and you can just stay at home and eat and wait to die, don't embarrass the family."

With Jing Yi forcing him like this, the children of the Jing family had to take the imperial examination.

Jing Yi was fortunate at this time that his son Jing Tao did not listen to him and joined the rebel army. When Xu Fan was proclaimed King of Han, he also went one step further and became the captain of the Han cavalry. In the future, the Jing family would still have this eldest son to rely on.

Just when Chen County began to hold the imperial examination, a heavily armed cavalry came outside Chen County. The huge crowd aroused the vigilance of the soldiers.

"Where are you from, and why are you here in Chen County?"

Cao Sheng said: "My lord is Chen Ying of Donghai County, who came to seek refuge with General Shangzhu."

The soldier reminded: "Not the general of Shangzhu Kingdom, my general has become the King of Han, and he will be called the King of Han from now on."

"Those of you who have taken refuge with the King of Han will go to the Recruitment Hall first. The King of Han will personally receive you when he has time." Another soldier also said.

As Xu Fan's power grew, more and more heroes joined Xu Fan. There were many heroes like Chen Ying who led hundreds of cavalry. Now a system has been formed among the rebels. If it is famous in history Yes, Xu Fan will receive him personally. If he is not famous, let Kong Yu receive him.

Positions were arranged according to their talents. Since most of the people who joined Xu Fan were military generals, most of them were arranged to become officers of the rebel army. After military training and understanding of the military orders and discipline of the rebel army, they were generally arranged to become village commanders, qu commanders and other grassroots officials. officer.

"King of Han? Not King of Chu?" Cao Sheng also asked strangely. He also knew that Xu Fan wanted to be called King of Chu, but now that he became King of Han, he felt strange.

The soldier said fiercely: "Originally, my king was going to be called the King of Chu, but that thief Qin Jia made a King of Chu in advance. My king did not want the brothers to fight against each other, so he changed his name to the King of Han."

Chen Ying was stunned. He was going to pass through Sishui County, and he naturally knew that Qin Jia in Sishui County had found a clan relative named Jing Ju to call him King of Chu. This matter had already caused a stir in Sishui County.

In Chen Ying's view, Qin Jia was seeking his own death. With his little strength, how could he be qualified to support the King of Chu? Especially since the King of Chu was determined to win by the general of Shangzhu Kingdom, Qin Jia would definitely be annihilated by the general of Shangzhu Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in Chen County, General Shangzhu did not pay attention to the King of Chu and directly changed his name to King of Han. This confused him. Calling him King of Chu can win the hearts of the people of Chu and gain the support of powerful people in Chu. , you can get the legal authority of Chu State, but what can you get by calling yourself King of Han?

"The King of Han cares about the world. If the King of Han only wants to restore the Chu Kingdom, the King of Chu is naturally more suitable than the King of Han. If you, the King of Han, want to win the whole world, then the King of Han is more suitable than the King of Chu." A soldier beside Chen Ying suddenly said .

When Chen Ying heard this, he suddenly understood that Xu Fan wanted to be the second First Emperor.

Chen Ying looked at the soldier in surprise and asked, "What's your name?"

"The villain Han Xin."

Chen Ying sighed: "I haven't even discovered a talent like you. I really did a terrible job as the leader of the rebel army. No wonder I let my brothers down."

Then he said to Han Xin: "If I have the chance, I will recommend you to the King of Han."

Han Xin was overjoyed and said: "Thank you so much, general." November 36, the 11th year of the First Emperor's reign.

Chen County has entered late autumn, and the weather has become cooler. However, the liveliness in Chen County has not decreased due to the weather. A large number of wealthy people are still shopping in Chen County, but at the same time, Chen County also has a crowd. Approval of new converts.

Although Xu Fan only announced the imperial examination in Han Dynasty, the sensation caused was huge.

Qin officials have always suppressed the scholars in the world. They like the people to become ignorant and ignorant people who will listen to them in everything. After the book burning order, the scholars in the world were brutally persecuted. They even dared not hide a book at home for fear of exposing it to the whole family. bring disaster.

Xu Fan's recruitment order gave scholars all over the world a glimmer of hope, but Xu Fan's power was too small at that time, and there were still only a few people like Kong Kun who dared to risk their lives to join him. Moreover, most of the scholars did not have any property that would allow them to seek refuge with Xu Fan from thousands of miles away.

But this time it was different. Xu Fan conquered 4 southern counties in two months, revived most of the Chu Kingdom, and even established himself as the King of Han. A powerful country that could compete with the violent Qin was rising. As the King of Han Xu Fan's appeal to scholars all over the world has greatly increased.

This time, the imperial examination was seen by scholars all over the world as a low-level version of the recruitment order. It reduced the difficulty and expanded the scale of recruitment. Not everyone can be like the children of the Jing family and do not care about petty officials like land officials. Most of them are small landowners. For the children of young people and merchants, it would be a class leap to enter the officialdom.

Not to mention the visible external expansion of the rebel army, today's petty officials may not be tomorrow's powerful people.

Ying Bu, Ji Bu, Chen Lin, and Lu Chen were either rangers or prisoners, or ordinary people, but they could take advantage of the rise of the rebel army to become high-ranking and powerful people. It cannot be replaced. The high-level background of the rebel army gave everyone confidence, and scholars from all around and from the Han Dynasty rushed to the Han Dynasty to participate in the imperial examination.

And when these scholars who wanted to join Xu Fan came to Chen County, they found that Chen County was completely different from the solemn war situation they imagined.

What Chen Jun could only see the most was not soldiers, but a large number of merchants and ordinary people. The streets were busy with traffic, and fleets of merchants and merchants from all over the world were rushing back and forth. It was a scene of prosperity, and the confidence in the rebel army was even stronger.

Sun Shutong from Chen County, who came here for the first time, found that there were crowds of people everywhere and he couldn't help but sighed: "Yanzi said that Linzi City was sweating like rain and waving its sleeves to block the sun. I'm afraid this is what it looks like now."

This scene made Sun Shutong extremely admired by the King of Han. His military ability was better than that of Qin Dynasty, and Wen Neng managed Chen County so prosperously. The King of Han's governance ability was still above that of the First Emperor.

"I just don't know where the teacher's residence is?" Sun Shutong couldn't help but feel confused as he looked at the bustling streets.

Sun Shutong was Kong Kun's most proud disciple. Most Confucian disciples abided by etiquette and did not know how to adapt, but Sun Shutong had an eloquent eloquence and a flexible moral bottom line.

Taking advantage of this, Kong Kun recommended him to Xianyang City and became the First Emperor's doctor. If other disciples had gone to Xianyang City, they would have been killed by the First Emperor.

After the First Emperor issued the book-burning order, Kong Yu was completely disappointed with the First Emperor. He even began to have a deep hatred for the First Emperor because the book-burning order implicated too many of his own children.

The Confucian scholars of this period did not talk about stupid loyalty, but they talked about "the king regards his ministers as his brothers and feet, and his ministers regard him as his heart and soul; the king regards his ministers as grass and mustard, and his ministers regard him as a bandit".

If you, the First Emperor, killed my Confucian disciples as enemy bandits, then I, Kong Kun, will regard you, the First Emperor, as a bandit. As soon as Xu Fan rebelled, Kong Kun brought his disciples to follow him. He also told Sun Shutong his news and asked him to find a way to escape without being implicated.

Although Sun Shutong received the news at first, he did not plan to escape. He believed that uprising while the First Emperor was still alive was seeking death. In the end, he did not expect that Xu Fan's rebel army fought more and more, and its territory became larger and larger. The strength of the Qin army was not as strong as he imagined, and the world of Da Qin was not as stable as he imagined. It was actually easily crushed by the rebel army. The entire The world is going to be in troubled times like the Warring States Period again.

For a moment, Sun Shutong couldn't understand the world. Xu Fan led a group of prisoners to rebel, and he was able to bring down the powerful Qin Dynasty. What a fairy tale this is.

When Xu Fan officially proclaimed himself the King of Han in Jiangling City, one of the Nine Qings actually had his own teacher. Sun Shutong knew that he could not stay in Xianyang City any longer. He quickly escaped from Guanzhong and attacked Nanjun from Wuguan to Yingchuan County. Chen Jun wanted to take refuge with his teacher.

Sun Shutong kept asking for directions and searching, and accidentally bumped into a ragged scholar.

"Sorry, sorry, there are too many people here!"

The scholar said indifferently: "It's okay. You are also a Confucian scholar. Are you here to take the imperial examination?"

His teacher was a Confucian scholar, and he was technically a Confucian scholar. However, he had not even finished studying the Analects of Confucius and was embarrassed to say it out loud, but he still had a good impression of Sun Shutong.

This Sun Shutong really didn't know about the imperial examination. He was in a hurry during this period.

"My dear, Sun Shutong, I don't know what the imperial examination is that Xiongtai is talking about?"

The scholar smiled and said: "I am Lu Shu, a native of Dang County. I heard that the King of Han opened the imperial examination in Chen County. Anyone who is a scholar can take the examination. If you pass the examination, you can become a field official. After you have made contributions to the equalization of land, you can become a member of the Han Kingdom." Cao officials and even county magistrates, so I came to Chen County from Dang County, but I didn't expect that Chen County was so prosperous, so I collided with my brother."

Sun Shutong was surprised and said: "This is an enlarged version of the Talent Recruitment Order. It seems that there is a huge talent gap in Han Dynasty."

Recruiting talents always requires a certain skill, and since there is a one-person interview, people with no skills would not dare to go there.

Lu Shu smiled and said: "With the new establishment of the Han Dynasty, there is naturally a shortage of scholars. After the self-immolation order, we scholars finally have a way to get ahead."

I'm embarrassed to talk about Lu Shu. He had been studying for several years, but before he studied in depth, his teacher was killed by the Qin officials. His parents were so frightened that they quickly burned all his books, but in this way Lu Shu also lost his Regarding his future, his parents died of illness two years ago and his family fell into poverty. He went from being the son of a small landowner to a pigherder, and his life became extremely difficult. He thought he would live in such a miserable state.

A few days ago, he heard the news about Chen County's imperial examination from his hometown. Although he had almost forgotten all the books he had read, he also understood that this was the only chance to change his destiny. So he took the only 16 money he had with him and ran all the way from Dang County to Chen County, hoping to change his destiny through the imperial examination. If Chen County had not been able to find work all the way, he would have been hungry before entering the examination room. died.
