In the pre-Qin period, when a person became a high official, he could posthumously grant the title to his deceased mother, and thousands of families could be placed next to his tomb. This was a great honor and a great filial piety!
Although Han Xin was poor when his mother died, he still chose an open place to bury his mother.
I hope that when I become a high official in the future, I can place thousands of families in my mother's cemetery.
Even if my mother passes away, I hope she can enjoy this honor!
After paying homage to his mother, Han Xin stood up, held his sword tightly, and walked towards his defeated home with his head held high.
…
Dangjun, Changyi.
In a huge wild lake.
"Brother Peng Yue, the First Emperor has implemented the imperial examination order, and the first civil and military examinations will be held next spring! I think you can take part in the martial arts examinations. There will be no problem in winning a martial arts imperial examination based on your ability!"
"Brother Peng Yue, hurry up and sign up. When you get the chance to become a general, your brothers will follow you and eat official meals. Don't be hungry anymore!"
"Brother Peng Yue..."
Many young people gathered around a strong man, chattering incessantly.
Peng Yue thought for a while, shook his head and said: "We are just a fisherman, how dare we take part in the martial arts examination!"
"Brother Peng Yue, it is stated in the imperial examination order of the First Emperor that anyone who is literate and wants to serve the country can sign up for the martial arts examination!"
"Besides, the government also takes care of food, housing, transportation, and horses, so I don't have to spend a penny!"
"Yes, what's wrong with us fishing? Fishermen are human beings too. Why should others be able to have high official positions, rich salaries, good food, and three wives and four concubines? We can only fish in this swamp without even having enough to eat!"
"
"Brother Peng Yue, this martial arts examination is a rare opportunity. If I had your ability, I would definitely participate!"
“…”
In the end, Peng Yue was encouraged by a group of poor fishermen brothers to register for the martial arts examination.
He originally thought that if he continued like this and worked so hard that he wouldn't have enough to eat, he would lead a group of his brothers to dominate the mountains and become kings, robbing families and homes for a living!
But Yingzheng's imperial examination system made Peng Yue temporarily give up his plan to become a bandit!
…
In a simple house in Pei County, Sishui County.
A particularly fat man with a curly beard was cooking dog meat while sticking out his big butt and gesticulating on the ground with a branch.
There was also a roll of bamboo slips spread out in front of him.
"Damn you, I don't believe I can't write this small seal script!"
"I, write, write, write!"
A man with a beard named Fan Kuai made a living by killing dogs and selling their meat.
He is competing with Xiaozhuan.
“It smells so good!”
At this time, a voice came from outside the door.
Crunch!
Then the door was opened, and a slovenly middle-aged man walked in from the outside.
The visitor was none other than Liu Bang.
"Haha, Fan Kuai, what are you doing? Could it be that you also want to take the martial arts examination?" Liu Bang couldn't help laughing when he saw Fan Kuai's funny look with his butt stuck out.
"I'm going to kill a dog and take the martial arts exam!"
Fan Kuai's face turned red, and he quickly stretched out his palm palm hand to wipe away all the glyph-like characters on the ground.
"A good man should have great ambitions. What's the matter with the martial arts examination for dog-slaying? I think that as long as you know how to read, you might be able to get the top prize in martial arts!"
Liu Bang stepped forward, chuckled and patted Fan Kuai on the shoulder: "Hey, if you really want to learn how to write Xiaozhuan, I'll teach you! But I'll take care of you as a dog!"
Liu Bang was most greedy for Fan Kuai's dog meat, but he had no money, so he often ate dog meat shamelessly.
Fan Kuai couldn't do anything about this guy, Liu Bang stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster.
How shameless!
"Okay, we have an agreement!" Fan Kuai stood up and said simply.
He is indeed interested in the martial arts examination!
From then on, a butcher began to struggle!
…
Qin Shihuang's implementation of the imperial examination order indeed caused many reckless heroes and civilian elites to take action and sign up to participate in the imperial examination.
He opened a door for the civilian elite to realize class leap.
Fish leaping over the dragon's gate, a rare opportunity!
In the northern border of Great Qin, on the boundless prairie, a figure was flying across the sky.
"Mom, look, there is a flying birdman in the sky!"
A cute little girl of four or five years old with braided hair and dark eyes ran to her mother who was burning cow dung for cooking and made milky sounds.
"Silly boy, how can anyone fly in the sky! You must have seen it wrong. It must not be a human, but a goshawk or an eagle!" the mother said, touching her daughter's head lovingly.
Although the Xiongnu were destroyed and annexed by the Qin Dynasty, the lives of ordinary people in the Xiongnu were better than those under the rule of Touman Chanyu.
Because Qin Shihuang adopted a gentle policy towards the Huns and reduced many tax burdens.
"Ah mom, it's true! If you don't believe it, just look at it!"
In order to prove that she was right, the little girl dragged her mother and ran outside the yurt.
"Tenggri, is this...is this a god?!" The woman looked up and saw a figure walking through the sky in the sky.
The woman exclaimed and knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly.
She thought it was the god Tengger appearing!
In her worldview, apart from the god Tengger, the one who could fly in the air could not think of any other being who could do this!
"Mom..." The little girl wanted to say something else.
The woman hurriedly pulled her to kneel down: "Children, don't talk, don't show any disrespect to Tengger!"
This figure is none other than Chen Qilin.
He followed the route of the treasure trove of the Hun royal court in Modu's memory and came all the way here.
Although Chen Qilin has read Maodun's information, it is still a bit difficult to actually find the treasure.
Because Mao Dun only heard his father talk about the approximate location of the treasure, and he had never been there himself.
"Oh mom, the birdman is flying towards us!"
At this moment, Chen Qilin suddenly heard a childish voice. He looked down and found the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It’s been a long time since I heard such innocent and interesting children’s words!
Although they spoke in Xiongnu language, Chen Qilin could understand them because he had already learned Xiongnu language.
Chen Qilin flew towards them, just in time to ask the woman about something.
When Chen Qilin landed in front of the woman, the woman was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her voice was filled with tears:
"Dear God, please forgive my ignorant daughter. She has no intention of offending you..."
Chen Qilin smiled and said in Hun language:
"Don't be afraid, I am not Tengger, and I have no ill intentions towards you. Get up, I have something to ask you!"
"God atones for sins..." The woman lowered her head and continued to kowtow.
Chen Qilin could only wave his hand, and with a gentle force, he lifted the woman and the little girl up...
It took a while for the woman to return to normal.
Chen Qilin asked: "Do you have a hill with a small swamp on its edge?"
The woman thought for a moment and said, "Yes, about a hundred and fifty miles to the west, there is a hill you mentioned on the left side of Lake Baikal!"
Chen Qilin smiled slightly and said, "Thank you!"
As he spoke, he took out a lollipop and handed it to the little girl.
After doing all this, Chen Qilin rose into the sky again and flew towards the west.
After flying for a while, he saw hills and swamps.
"This is it!"
Chen Qilin landed excitedly downwards. Soon, he found the entrance to the treasure house of the Xiongnu Palace and entered it...
