When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 647: General Zhao? No, it’s Fourth Uncle!
Today's imperial examinations have been adjusted several times to become standardized and rigorous. Take the appointment of officials as an example. Even if the winner is the first, he will not be awarded a very high official position.

Official appointments were made with an extremely cautious attitude. All those who passed the Jinshi examination would be assigned to serve as officials in county governments around Chang'an according to the order of their scores.

The purpose is to allow these emerging officials who have passed the assessment to learn and understand the operation of the county government and how to handle daily government affairs.

This process can take as short as three to five months or as long as one to two years.

During this period, the Ministry of Personnel would send officials to evaluate and assess the performance of these new officials. Those with excellent or good results would be promoted, those with average results would remain in their original positions to continue their training, and those with poor results would be dismissed.

It took Deng Ai less than a year to be promoted to county magistrate, and he could be said to be one of the people who were promoted the fastest.

At the same time, it indirectly proves that Deng Ai has outstanding talents.

Liu Bei immediately became interested. Although he was not familiar with Deng Ai, he was familiar with the name Deng Ai. He sneaked across Yinping, attacked Chengdu, and destroyed a country with only a thousand men. It just so happened that the Deng Ai in Liu Xie's mouth matched the hometown, age, and even the characteristics of stuttering.

He wanted to see what Deng Ai looked like.

"Uncle, I am going to take Ah Dou to see the real counties, towns, pavilions, and villages. Uncle, do you want to come?"

Liu Bei nodded.

Liu Xie was delighted that he could travel with his uncle Adou. Hahaha, it was a good thing, a good thing.

However, what Liu Xie did not expect was that Liu Bei added: "Your Majesty, I want to take one more person with me."

"Take one person with you? Not to mention one person, even if it's ten or a hundred people, I'll take as many as you want!" Liu Xie said this with great pride, but as he was talking, he asked again: "Uncle, who do you want to take with you?"

"Jiang Wei, Jiang Boyue."

"Jiang Boyue" Liu Xie muttered to himself. Why did he feel that Liu Bei was somewhat partial to Jiang Wei?
Never mind, let’s go find Adou first.

"Adou!"

Once, Liu Bei and Liu Xie visited the Eastern Palace, and Liu Xie howled as usual.

When Liu Xie was about to continue howling, he saw Liu Bei's gaze and decisively lowered his voice.

He was not afraid of Liu Bei's shoes, but he kept Liu Bei's teachings in mind!

"Ahem." Liu Xie coughed a few times and looked away. He looked at Lu Kai and Ma Liang who were coming towards him, "Lü Jialing, Shuegingling, where is Adou?"

Lu Kai and Ma Liang saluted and replied, "Your Majesty, His Highness is practicing swordplay."

"Ridiculous!" When Liu Xie was about to scold Lu Kai and Ma Liang, he suddenly realized something. Wait a minute, are these two also wise ministers who responded to the dream?

He tilted his head and winked at Liu Bei. That meaningful look seemed to say, "Uncle, don't worry. I won't scold the wise minister Ying Meng."

Liu Bei:
Liu Xie cleared his throat and said seriously, "Didn't I tell you? Every eleventh, twenty-first and thirty-first day of every month are holidays, no need to practice. I have to have a good talk with Brother!"

Liu Xie strode towards the yard, and Lu Kai and Ma Liang immediately followed him.

As they chased after him, they shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the one who taught Your Highness swordsmanship today was not Shi Zhuangshi."

It's a pity that it's still a step too late.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"My brother has met the emperor."

Liu Yue took a quick look and saw no trace of Shi A in the yard. The person who took the lead in saluting him was clearly the Left General Zhao Yun.

Who is Zhao Yun?
Liu Xie still remembered clearly what Liu Chan said to him some time ago.

In the fairyland, Zhao Yun went in and out of the army seven times to protect Liu Chan's safety. Zhao Yun's role to Liu Chan is like Chen Dao's role to the late emperor. Not to mention Zhao Yun's heroic deeds in killing enemies and his outstanding achievements in retrieving the good rice.

the most important is
According to the third uncle, although General Zhao did not participate in the oath of brotherhood, he had a sincere relationship with the emperor's uncle, second uncle, and third uncle, and they were like brothers.

Strictly speaking, General Zhao is my fourth uncle.
Fourth Uncle is not the kind of person who would force Adou. It must be Adou who asked Fourth Uncle to come and teach him!

Faced with such an impeccable fourth uncle, Liu Xie did not feel any dissatisfaction in his heart.

what?
You mean taking up Adou's vacation time?

What do you mean by taking up vacation time? This is clearly the uncle's love for his son!
Liu Xie asked nervously, "Have I disturbed General Zhao? How long will General Zhao take? Should I come back later?"

All the officials of the Eastern Palace, except Ying Mengxianchen, were stunned. When did His Majesty become so kind? Are we dazzled?

"Your Majesty has come at the right time. I have just finished teaching you that move." After saying this, Zhao Yun made a sword flower and put the sword back into the box neatly.

Liu Xie was so excited, "General Zhao, can you teach me too?"

"It's my honor." Zhao Yun smiled.

Liu Bei on the side reminded: "Your Majesty, don't forget the purpose of this trip."

Liu Xie came back to his senses and said with some regret: "General Zhao, tomorrow, General Zhao will come to teach me tomorrow."

Liu Xie immediately pointed at Jiang Wei and called him over, "Bo Yue, you should come along this time."

"Ah? Me?" Jiang Wei's face was filled with disbelief.

Liu Bei explained: "This time we are not only going to inspect the county government, but also to meet someone who is closely related to Bo Yue."

"Intimately related?" Jiang Wei was a little puzzled. Who else was closely related to him? Most of the people he was familiar with were in Liangzhou.

Liu Bei smiled calmly, "Bo Yue will know when the time comes."

Jiang Wei did not ask any more questions. Since the late emperor had already said so, what else was there to ask?

As soon as Liu Bei and Jiang Wei finished their conversation, he turned around and heard Liu Chan shouting, "I want to study, I want to practice martial arts!"

Liu Xie helplessly spread his hands towards Liu Bei, as if to indicate that he had run out of ideas.

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and Liu Chan shuddered, as if he recalled the horror of being dominated by Liu Bei's shoes, and immediately stopped making a fuss.

Liu Bei's frown gradually relaxed. "Adou, I have seen your efforts these days. It's good to have the idea of ​​change, but you have to combine work and rest. Didn't you feel that the people outside the city were poor and suffering? After the court's efforts over the years, the people's lives have improved a lot. Don't you want to see it?"

"Father, you...you...I..." Liu Chan's eyes widened, his eyes full of disbelief. It was the first time he heard words of affirmation from Liu Bei. The young boy didn't know what to say for a moment.

It took Liu Chan several breaths to react. He was afraid that Liu Bei would get angry, so he kept nodding.

Liu Bei did not get angry, but said calmly: "Let's go."

Lantian County.

Deng Ai, who was the county magistrate at the time, suddenly felt uneasy. He murmured to himself in confusion, "Strange, why do I feel like something bad is going to happen today?"

This feeling was short-lived after all, and Deng Ai's attention was soon attracted by the voice of the county official.

A county official hurried to Deng Ai and panted, "Secretary, your improved method of digging the canal was a success!"

Deng Ai suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go!"
