Chapter 645 The imperial examination is over
The Western Wei State decided to take advantage of the opportunity of Sun Kewang and Wu Sangui's battle between tigers and wolves to take over the land of Sichuan and Shu. However, preparations are needed for war, especially for attacking a dangerous place like Sichuan.

Sichuan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not easy to get in, and it is also difficult to get out.

If there is no careful plan and no sufficient preparation, tens of thousands of Wei troops rush in, but they can't sweep Sichuan, and then fall into a dilemma, then it will be troublesome.

Therefore, although Gao Yihuan decided to take over Sichuan, the feudal government did not have a few months to prepare, so there was no way to send troops.

In fact, since the end of the war in southern Henan, the Wei army has been preparing for the capture of Sichuan. However, the Western Wei State is busy with moving the capital, the imperial examination, and Gao Yihuan's wedding, and his energy is really limited, so the preparations are there, but they are not sufficient. the point.

After deciding to collect Sichuan, Gao Yihuan sent Jin Shenghuan to lead a town of soldiers to Jingzhou, joined forces with Wang Deren and Zhao Zhuzi, prepared supplies, trained soldiers, waited for his military order, and then went to Yiling to enter Sichuan.

The goal of this group of people is to capture Kuidong, take Chongqing, and then outflank southern Sichuan, blocking the way for Wu Sangui and Sun Kewang to go south.

Then he asked Zhao Daxian to explore the road to Sichuan in Hanzhong, and prepare for the army to enter Sichuan from Hanzhong.

The goal of this road is to enter northern Sichuan from Hanzhong and attack Wu Sangui's back.

When the army was mobilized, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry fully cooperated to transport food, military supplies, soldiers, and equipment to Jingzhou and Hanzhong as soon as possible.

After preliminary discussions and arrangements in the hall, many officials went to prepare.

At the beginning of June, as the wedding day approached, the palace of Wei had already begun to decorate the palace, and the palace was decorated with lights and festoons, and the newly recruited maids also changed into new clothes. They were all beaming, busily busy, tidying up the palace, and preparing to welcome Kunxing Princess.

The palace of Wei Palace was full of joy, and Gao Zurong was also grinning from ear to ear. However, the old rich man was still a little unconfident in his heart. He was afraid of neglecting his daughter-in-law. It hurt the face of Lao Gao's family.

At this time, the whole city of Xi'an was affected by the big wedding, and the gentry and people were talking about the big wedding of King Wei, and the city was full of joy.

At this time, Gao Yihuan's mind was not on the marriage, but on the imperial examination and the preparations to capture Sichuan and Shu.

As the lord of a country, King Gao is busy with things, so he has no time to talk about love, it will take his energy.

All he had to do was wait for the Ministry of Rituals to get things ready, then finish the ceremony, and sleep with the princess directly. The princess would give birth to him, and make love with each other for a long time, instead of trying to please a woman, even if she was a princess.

The emperors of all dynasties slept with whomever they liked. Three thousand beauties came to compete for favor, and tried every means to please the emperor. If the emperor tried to please the concubine in turn, the wall would collapse and the dynasty would probably be over. Not far away.

At this time outside the palace, several guards were hanging lanterns, a carriage was parked in front of the palace gate, Li Yan got down from it, and asked the guard on duty, "Is Your Majesty in the palace?"

Gao Yihuan has often visited the workshops outside Xi'an recently. It is said that the craftsmen there have come up with a method of forging weapons and armor with the help of water power. Wei Wang is very attentive and often stays for a day, so Li Yan is not sure. Is Gao Yihuan in the palace?

"Your Majesty just met with the Lu Ge Department today, and he is still in the palace!" said the guard on duty.

Seeing this, Li Yan immediately said: "Then please pass it on, and say that the pavilion has something to report."

The guard said with a smile: "Your Majesty has already made a decree that several scholars can enter the palace directly without passing it on."

Not long after, Li Yan followed the guards to the outside of Gao Yihuan's study. The soldier said something, and Li Yan hurried in. He saw Gao Yihuan leaning on the chair, pressing his forehead with one hand, as if he had encountered something bothering .

Thinking of what the guards said and what Li Yan had heard, he could guess that the money was probably not enough.

Dashuai Gao basically doesn't worry about it at ordinary times, but when he does, it's probably because he has no money to spend.

However, financial issues are not under Li Yan's control. All the ministries of the feudal government have their own responsibilities and cannot intervene indiscriminately, so Gao Yihuan doesn't ask, so he doesn't mention it.

"Mr. is here!" At this moment, Gao Yihuan saw Li Yan, sat up quickly, and stretched out his hand, "Sir, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yan saluted, first put a file in front of Gao Yihuan, then sat on a stool, and said, "This is the result after the palace examination. A total of 120 scholars were selected, including our Western Wei Dynasty scholars. 61 students were recruited, 52 were recruited from Henan and Shanxi, and [-] were admitted from Jiangxi, Nanzhili, and Zhejiang.”

Gao Yihuan took the file, opened it, and looked at it, "The exams in the south are indeed very good in the imperial examination. Twenty to thirty percent of the exams are referenced, and they accounted for nearly half of the places. If it wasn't for the lonely king in the imperial examination, With proper regulation, I really don't look good on the face of my great Wei scholar."

Li Yan also sighed: "The cultural atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River is far better than that in Huguang and Guanzhong. Scholars there often form associations, discuss current affairs, and sum up the experience of the exam with each other. They can even bet on the exam questions. There may be many more Jiangnan scholars on the list. After reading a lot of test papers, I found that many of them are indeed very talented. For example, one of them is Chen Zhenhui. They all answered very well."

During this test, the examiner finished reviewing, ranked the test papers, and then tore up the pasted names.

Chen Zhenhui was number one, and Mao Xiang was number two. It was not until No.5 that Liu Xiangke, a scholar from the Western Wei Dynasty, appeared, and then another scholar, Kuang Pengsheng, appeared a few more times later.

Among the top ten, scholars from the Western Wei Dynasty only occupied two places, and there was no way to compare with others.

Gao Yihuan frowned and said, "Gu Wang appointed Liu Xiangke as the No. [-] Scholar, Kuang Peng as the No. [-], and Chen Zhenhui as Tanhua. The candidates have no objections."

Li Yandao: "Liu Xiangke and Kuang Pengsheng are also good in talent and learning, so the candidates don't have much opinion on this, but many foreign candidates are against the feudal government's admission of [-] failed Western Wei scholars to enter the Imperial College, and through the big wedding I am a little dissatisfied with the opportunity given to Jinshi, and think it is not fair."

Liu Xiangke and Kuang Pengsheng were not unknown people, Liu Xiangke was one of the five tigers in the Yongli Dynasty, he was considered a treacherous official, and Kuang Pengsheng was a good friend of Wang Fuzhi, who was somewhat famous in the Huguang area.

Therefore, Gao Yihuan raised their rankings. As long as their articles are not too bad and there is no big gap, the scholars have nothing to say.After all, Wen Wu is the first, the difference is not big, it all depends on the examiner's preference.

However, the vassal government only recruited 50 scholars from the Western Wei Dynasty who failed the rankings, and gave them Jinshi backgrounds, so some failed the rankings, but the Jiangnan scholars who ranked high were a little dissatisfied.

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "Sir, I came here today mainly to talk about this matter!"

Li Yan nodded, "I have a suggestion. Change the rules for the admission of these 50 people. Scholars from Jiangnan can also be selected, but they have to move their whole family into our Western Wei Dynasty and become citizens of the Western Wei Dynasty to enjoy this opportunity." Quota. What does Your Majesty think?"

Gao Yihuan stroked his beard under his chin, and said with a smile, "This strategy will help our Great Wei absorb talents from all over the world, and it is naturally feasible!"
