Tu Lianhu was not prepared. He was suddenly asked by the emperor and he didn't know how to answer.
But Emperor Liu Chan, as well as the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, were all waiting for his answer.
!!!
After a few breaths, Tu Lianhu said in panic: "Your Majesty, I think that as a general, you should take the lead and not be afraid of life and death."
"Hmm!!!" Liu Chan nodded slightly, and then asked Chen Xin: "Why do you think you are a general?"
With Tu Lianhu as an example, and when Tu Lianhu answered, Chen Xin was naturally thinking about this question. Moreover, his father was Chen Dao, the general who conquered the west. He had already taught him how to be a general by precept and deed. Previously, the emperor asked Tu Lianhu why he thought
I will most likely ask him.
So when Liu Chan asked him at this time, he was naturally not as embarrassed as Tu Lianhu. He bowed slightly, saluted Liu Chan, and said: "Reporting to your majesty, the general believes that a general must first be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and execute the emperor's duties well.
To be able to have a far-sighted and far-sighted vision for the tasks assigned to you, when the enemy is facing you, you need to be fearless in the face of danger, respond calmly, and at the same time coordinate your superiors and subordinates so that your soldiers can exert their best capabilities and fight the enemy with all their strength."
Yo ho——
As soon as Chen Xin finished speaking, the hall suddenly burst into admiration.
Worthy of being the queen of generals.
However, Liu Chan did not make any comments on this. He turned to ask Tian Mu and said: "If our army is fighting with the enemy at this time, and the war is beneficial to our army, we can take advantage of the victory and pursue it." Liu Chan paused deliberately as he spoke
After a while, he then said: "If at this time, I order you to cease the war immediately and ask you to return to the court immediately, how should you make a decision?"
Everyone was stunned.
Because Liu Chan didn't ask him why he was a general, but asked a new question.
Everyone was secretly sweating for this seventeen-year-old boy.
Moreover, according to the data, Tian Mu is from Wenshan County, Yizhou, and is just an ordinary villager. Unlike Chen Xinai, who is the queen of the generals, even Tu Lianhu is a descendant of the Nanzhong clan.
How would an ordinary villager respond?
Just when everyone was staring at Tian Mu, he said calmly: "Your Majesty, I will first defeat the enemy and then return to the capital according to the order."
!!!
As soon as Tian Mu finished speaking, the hall suddenly became quiet. Almost everyone was stunned, and at the same time, it was written all over their faces, this kid is finished.
For example, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's face didn't look very good at this time.
Of course, Liu Chan saw the expressions of the civil and military ministers.
Of the three people, I can’t say whose answers are more perfect.
Although Tu Lianhu was a member of the clan, he was only a brave and reckless man.
Chen Xin, the queen of generals, is quite tactful and knows what the emperor likes to hear.
In comparison, Liu Chan prefers Tian Mu.
As the saying goes, you will receive and receive your orders from the king outside.
If you encounter a foolish king and randomly send summons when your side is in a favorable situation, isn't this causing trouble?
For example, Liu Chan in history, didn’t he do such stupid things?
It was also because he suddenly thought of this that Liu Chan deliberately asked Tian Mu to see how he would deal with this young man if he were a general in charge of the army. Would it be the same as the prime minister's treatment? No matter what the battle situation was, he would serve first.
Call a truce.
But——
Tian Mu's answer surprised Liu Chan and made him a little surprised.
At a young age, he has the potential to be a general.
I hope you are a loyal minister and good general.
Liu Chan secretly sighed, but he also made a decision on the order of the three of them, so he said: "Although the answers of the three of you have shortcomings, I think that the three of you have not yet joined the army, and you have this understanding.
It's not easy;" he said with a smile and said: "Based on the answers you three just gave me, I will confer Tu Lianhu as the third flower."
Hearing this, Tu Lianhu felt a little helpless, but he had no choice but to step forward to thank him. After all, he himself felt that Chen Xin's answer was indeed better than his, so the number one scholar was naturally not destined to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tu Lianhu thanked him and stepped aside.
At this time, Tian Mu and Chen Xin are the only ones left in the main hall. The number one scholar and the second prize will be chosen among them. If it were before moving the capital, the prime minister might have already stepped forward to start his speech and put forward his suggestions. Liu Chan would
Decisions will be made based on his suggestions.
Today is different.
Even though Tian Mu's answer just now did not satisfy Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang said nothing and stood quietly aside, letting Liu Chan make his decision.
This surprised Liu Chan.
He did not canonize the three people at once, but he also wanted to see if the prime minister would make his suggestions at this moment.
However, Tu Lianhu had already thanked him and resigned, and Zhuge Liang remained calm and composed.
"Xiangfu!" Liu Chan suddenly asked Zhuge Liang politely: "Of these two people, who should be the number one scholar?"
Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, but Liu Chan deliberately asked him. After all, he also respected this wise prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Perhaps if he took the initiative to ask, the prime minister would give him some advice.
But——
Zhuge Liang bowed slightly, glanced at Chen Xin, then at Tian Mu, and then said: "Your Majesty has the final say."
Although the Prime Minister did not give any advice, Liu Chan already knew it. He pretended to be embarrassed and paused before saying: "In that case, I will make Tian Mu the second choice."
It seemed a little awkward, but Liu Chan knew that he and the Prime Minister had always had the same idea.
The Prime Minister first glanced at Chen Xin, and then at Tian Mu.
Although he did not say it explicitly, he had told Liu Chan that he would rather let Chen Xin be the number one scholar. Regarding the reason, although the prime minister did not speak now, Liu Chan felt that.
After all, Chen Xin’s father was Chen Dao, the general who conquered the West.
Moreover, Chen Xin’s answer is more in line with the fundamentals of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
This Tian Mu is a bit unpredictable.
Because when he faced the emperor's decree, the first thing he thought of was war, which perfectly explained what it means to accept or reject the emperor's orders. However, as a monarch, he is very afraid of such generals.
If he is a loyal minister and good general, it will be okay.
But if he has other thoughts, that will be a big problem.
Fortunately, Liu Chan is a time traveler and he approves of Tian Mu's approach.
For example, Zhuge Liang in history, if he chose to accept or reject the orders of his foreign emperor, then even if Liu Chan was deceived, at least the army ahead would not be defeated.
Although Liu Chan recognized Tian Mu's choice, he couldn't select him as the top pick.
Because raw jade still needs to be carved.
......
After the rankings of the three were decided, Liu Chan said with a smile: "The top three have been decided. This is the first military examination to select generals in our Han Dynasty." After saying that, he looked at the three of them and said, "I will grant you three titles now.
As captains protecting the army, I hope that you three will fulfill your duties faithfully, be loyal to the country, and contribute to the revival of the Han Dynasty."
Number one, number two, third overall.
This is just an empty title.
But at this moment, Liu Chan directly named the three of them as Captains of the Guards, which made the three of them very excited, because the Captains of the Guards were sixth-grade generals.
If they had not taken the martial arts examination, it would not have been so easy for them to obtain the rank of sixth-grade general based on their military exploits.
