Hearing that Liu Jing wanted to open subjects of A and B and make plans to recruit scholars, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became excited, and the students were excited and talking a lot.
Liu Biao established a school to support students from Nanzhou, provided relief to Northern scholars, revived the way of the ancestors, and revived the sluggish Confucianism. It can be said that he made great contributions.
However, it must be said that Liu Biao only regarded Jingzhou Official School as a "signature" to attract the world's attention. For more than ten years, he rarely selected talents from the official school.
Students who come from wealthy families do not have to worry about not having the opportunity to serve as officials, but those students who come from poor single families and are natives of Jingzhou are fine. At least they have the opportunity to join the county when they return to their hometown. Even if you have talent, it's hard to get ahead.
Liu Jing opened a subject to obtain scholars, which allowed all students who had ambitions but lacked opportunities to see hope. You can imagine the joy in their hearts.
In the front near the podium, two young scholars with tall crowns and neat robes were sitting in the crowd. One of them was Yang Yi, whose courtesy name was Wei Gong, and the other was Yang Yong, whose courtesy name was Zizhao. They were brothers of the same clan. The descendants of the Yang family in Xiangyang are far more talented and knowledgeable than their peers and can be regarded as leaders in official studies.
Yang Yi was slightly older than Yang Yong and had outstanding appearance. Only the corners of his mouth turned down, which gave people a sense of strength. He said to Yang Yong: "Zizhao, the prince of the imperial family of General Anyuan, has the world in mind, and now he has taken over Jing." , Friendship, I am thirsty for virtuous people. Why don't you and I just take the initiative and get the imperial examination, assist General Anyuan in upholding the country and bringing peace to the people, and wait until the country is restored to peace, wearing gold and purple, engraving Kunwu's merits, and writing a book of history? Wouldn't it be beautiful? ?”
Seeing the high-spirited and boastful Yang Yi, Yang Yong couldn't help but feel amused.
This elder brother of his is a clever and resourceful man who is far beyond his own ability. However, he has an arrogant and fierce temperament and can easily offend others and bring himself into trouble. Fortunately, Liu Jing has a broad mind and respects the virtuous, so there is no need to worry. He met the same fate as Mi Heng.
Thinking of this, Yang Yong nodded and agreed to Yang Yi's proposal.
Yang Yi then turned to look to the other side and said to a handsome and elegant scholar: "Wen Xiang, what do you mean?"
"What Duke Wei said is also true to my heart. General Anyuan promoted benevolence and righteousness, respected and rewarded the royal family, and punished those who refused to obey. Now is the time to employ people, so we should duly join in and do our little bit."
Wenxiang's surname was Xi and his given name was Zhen. He was born in the Xi clan, a prominent family in Xiangyang, and was the successor of Xi Yu, the Marquis of Xiangyang.
Since Emperor He, the foreign relatives have been dictatorial and the eunuchs have seized power and corrupted the government, which has led to the decline of the country. The students of the Imperial College felt this and began to unite with people of insight, actively participate in politics, speak dangerously, and do not shy away from power. From the official level down, everyone Afraid of his derogatory remarks, he came to the door. It was not until the two disasters of party imprisonment that Taixue began to decline.
Liu Biao was one of the "Eight Gu" leaders of the party. He had personally experienced the Taixue student movement at that time, so the Jingzhou official school he established had a legacy of Taixue. Students in the school appraised the powerful, made decisions on governance, and built a reputation.
Xi Zhen was a personable person, good at talking, and was a leader in Jingzhou's official school. Relying on "Qingyi", he easily became a guest of Liu Biao and Jingzhou dignitaries. Looking at Miannan, his reputation is only half as good as Pang Tong.
With Xi Zhen's reputation, there is actually no need to participate in the shooting strategy. He just needs to wait with peace of mind. Considering the importance Liu Jing attaches to talents, I believe that within a few days, someone will be sent to greet him.
However, Xi Zhen didn't want to do this. As a student leader, he really had no reason to avoid shooting. He had sufficient confidence in his knowledge. Even if he couldn't come out on top, it wouldn't be a problem to get into the first class.
Yang Yi had long expected that Xi Zhen would become an official, and was not surprised at all. In fact, the Xi family was the first Xiangyang family to seek refuge with Liu Jing.
Xi Zhen, brother of the Xi Zhen clan, went south with Cai Mao to conquer Liu Jing. He was ambushed on the way. Cai Mao actually abandoned Xi Zhen and fled alone. Xi Zhen had no choice but to surrender to Liu Jing before the battle. Now he guards Lingling for Liu Jing and is deeply trusted.
.The Xi family has long secretly surrendered to Liu Jing.
"Liang only hates that he is young and has little knowledge, and cannot share strategies with his brothers." The person who spoke was a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old. His appearance was refined and he had white hairs on his eyebrows, which made him unforgettable.
His name is Ma Liang, courtesy name Jichang. He is a descendant of the Ma family of a wealthy family in Yicheng. He is sixteen years old this year and ranks fourth in his family. Although he is young, he is already more knowledgeable than his three elder brothers. He has gained the title of Xi Zhen, Yang Yi, Yang
Consider the approval of others.
Xi Zhen advised: "Although Ji Chang is young, he is knowledgeable. There is no harm in giving it a try. It is a good opportunity to verify what he has learned."
Yang Yi also suggested that Ma Liang give it a try.
Yang Yi's late brother, Yang Lu, had few virtues and profound knowledge. He was the crown prince of Miannan. He began to preach and practice when he was more than ten years old and had hundreds of disciples. Unfortunately, God was jealous of talents and died at the age of seventeen. Naturally, Ma Liang did not have Yang Lu.
He became a scholar when he was more than ten years old, but with his talent, it is still possible to study in the second major.
When he was apprenticed to Xi Zhen, Yang Yi persuaded him to participate in the shooting strategy, and Ma Liang agreed. Just as Xi Zhen said, it was regarded as a test of what he had learned.
Cui Jun looked at Liu Jing on the podium with dragons and phoenixes, facing the sky, and his friend Zhuge Liang standing behind Liu Jing, looking at him with a smile, and asked Shi Tao next to him: "How?"
Shi Tao pursed his lips tightly, with eager eyes, and said: "As the old saying goes: 'Study and excel will lead to officialdom. I have worked tirelessly and studied hard over the years, just for today."
Seeing his classmate Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu went south for only two years, and became Liu Jing's military advisor, and became the governor of Nanjun, focusing on the affairs of the country. While Shi Tao was happy for his friend, he couldn't help but feel regretful.
When Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu went south, they warmly invited him to go with them, but he had some concerns and declined their invitation.
He is no better than Cui Jun. The Cui family belongs to a high family in Beizhou. Cui Jun's great-grandfather Cui Xiang, grandfather Cui Pan, father Cui Shi, father Cui Lie, and brother Cui Jun are all famous figures in the world.
With Cui Jun's prominent family background, he could become an official anytime and anywhere.
Shi Tao was born, but his talents were not as good as Cui Jun's. The road to becoming an official was bound to be bumpy. Fortunately, his good friends Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were successful now. With the care of these two people, his official career was worry-free.
Shi Tao thought that although his talents were not as good as those of Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, he was by no means a mediocre person and would surely occupy a place under Liu Jing's command.
Cui Jun said regretfully: "It's a pity that Gongwei (Meng Jian) has returned to his hometown in Runan. Otherwise, five friends and I would join hands to assist the Ming Lord and achieve great achievements, which would be a rare story."
Shi Tao also thought so.
Seeing the students in the audience cheering and cheering, Liu Jing smiled happily, then said some words of encouragement, and then boarded the car and left under the greetings of the teachers and students of the official school.
As soon as Liu Jing's car drove out of the school city, he was forced to stop. Liu Jing sat in the car, full of doubts. Soon after, he reported back and told the whole story. It turned out that someone was blocking the road ahead to offer auspiciousness.
