After hearing Zhou Cang's words, Chen Hongyu fell silent for a moment.
Obviously, the senior officials of the Zhou family have made preparations to contemplate death and annihilation, and the key in their hands is the first level of preparation.
Obviously, his recent performance has caused the higher-ups in the clan to change his position within the clan.
"I'll do my best!" Chen Hongyu sighed.
No matter from what aspect, he must try his best.
In terms of family ties, although he only had the memory of the original owner, it still occupied his body, and Zhou Qi treated him well, giving away the second-grade high-grade soul-nourishing jade as soon as he asked.
From the perspective of interests, Da Qian enjoyed the rule of the country for nearly five hundred years and governed the world with filial piety. When big things happened in the clan, he must do his part both emotionally and rationally.
What's more, regardless of whether he succeeds this time, the Zhou family will definitely see his ability. For the original owner, it is a feeling of pride and fulfillment, which can be regarded as fulfilling his last wish. For him, after receiving the attention of the family, the resources for practice will naturally increase. There will be a lot more.
"Second uncle, please go to the mansion and rest first! I'll go find Mu Yi."
Zhou Cang nodded, stood up from the steps, and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "Gong Jin, just do your best, there is no need to bear any burden."
After that, he walked towards the house. He traveled thousands of miles in one night, and during this period he fought with people and damaged his vitality. If he hadn't taken many pills, he might not have been able to make it here.
On the other side, Chen Hongyu and several guards went to the stable to pick up the horses and then headed towards Wu'an County City.
At this time, Wang Mu should be in Wu'an County. The only one who can influence the attitude of Qingzhou's senior officials is Wang Mu.
Wu'an County City, in front of the Prefect's Mansion.
"Please let me know that Zhou Yu is visiting."
The two guards in front of the mansion had obviously heard of his name. They looked at Chen Hongyu and said with a smile: "Young master Zhou, you are welcome. The name of Zhou Gongjin, both civil and military, is spread everywhere in Wu'an County. A few months ago, a song I don’t know how many more scholars were sent by Shanxing to the Goddess Mountain, and a few days ago, I and my young master defeated the Seven Killing Army."
At this point, the guard who was speaking stopped and said with some embarrassment: "Master Zhou, please forgive me, I talk a lot. My master has long said that if you come to look for him, just go in directly."
With that said, the tall guard who spoke exchanged a few words with another guard beside him and then walked towards the prefect's mansion.
Along the way, the guard really refused to listen, and his admiration for him flowed out of his mouth like a roaring river, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
However, everyone likes to hear such good words.
He only has one thought in his mind now: "Keep praising, don't stop!"
Soon, they came to a courtyard inside the prefect's mansion.
At this time, Wang Mu was sitting on the stone table in the courtyard pavilion, correcting documents.
Chen Hongyu stepped forward and took a look. They were all recent documents about post-war arrangements and handling of issues.
"What, do you want to help me lighten my burden?"
Hearing this, Chen Hongyu did not refuse, but sat down directly, took a writing brush and began to correct the documents.
"Maybe I'm still too young, and the elders are always uneasy. My second uncle has to leave all these things to me, saying it's to train my abilities." Wang Mu said with some distress.
"You are indeed young. You are only twenty-three after the New Year." Chen Hongyu nodded in agreement, but he forgot that his body had only been crowned for a few months.
Wang Mu glanced at him angrily: "Correct your documents!"
"By the way, what's the name of the guard who just brought me here?" Chen Hongyu asked curiously.
"What's wrong?" Wang Mu was a little puzzled, but still said: "I have some impressions of this guard. He is from a humble background, but his talent for fate is good. He is about to enter the blood-moving realm, and he can also join the army as a mid-level officer in the future.
.”
Chen Hongyu had a smile on his face: "This guy looks honest on his face, but he has a very smooth tongue. He praised me all the way from beginning to end."
Hearing this, Wang Mu also laughed.
Soon, the two of them finished processing all the paperwork. Wang Mu stood up and stretched, and then he took a breath and said, "You are here to understand the siege of Shangyuan County, right?"
"Yes!" Chen Hongyu nodded.
His relationship with Wang Mu no longer requires politeness. Firstly, the two of them are brothers. Secondly, they get along very well and have a good rapport. Coupled with the fact that they have been through life and death several times, they can be said to be friends of life and death.
.
"Na!" Wang Mu took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to him.
Chen Hongyu opened it and took a look, only to find that it contained some questions and answers based on scriptures.
These questions are very in-depth, but the answers are also perfect. As a student at this time, he is not yet able to do this, and it will take several years.
At this time, Wang Mu continued: "When the news came, I knew that you must find a way to break the siege of Shangyuan County.
However, the generals of Qingzhou soldiers and horses must not move lightly. They must be prepared to prevent the Seven Killing Army from going south. However, the 5,000 temporary troops we controlled a few days ago can be used.
However, it was a critical moment before, and my uncle had the right to appoint us two to take charge of the army. But now we need to lead troops across state lines for support, so you must have a formal background.
Therefore, my uncle plans to contact Yu Jing directly through the Supervisory Station of the Prefectural Mufu to see if he can open a special department for you, so as to directly find a background for you."
Having said this, he shook his head: "The person in charge of the military right now is the General. He has always been close to our group, but I didn't expect that this time he would be extremely cheerful about your affairs."
After hearing this, Chen Hongyu began to look at the manuscript in his hand.
This dynasty implemented the "inspection and examination system" to select talents. This system originated from the edict for seeking talents issued by Qian Gaozu four hundred years ago, but it was not held regularly, so it has not yet formed a system. However, in the first year of Emperor Yuanguang of Qianwu, which was the second year of Emperor Qianwu's reign,
A hundred years ago, Emperor Wu accepted Xu Sheng's suggestion and appointed one person each for "filial piety and integrity" in the prefectures and the state, which was how this form of talent selection was institutionalized.
Among them, the subjects are divided into two categories: one is regular subjects, also called annual examinations, such as filial piety and integrity subjects, maocai subjects; the other is special subjects, which are subjects for which the emperor temporarily specifies the standards and names for selecting scholars according to needs.
, such as virtuous and upright, virtuous literature, Ming Jing, Ming Fa, You Yi, Zhi Drama, Art of War, Yin and Yang disasters and other special subjects temporarily prescribed.
Among them, the main subjects are virtuous and upright, filial and honest, scholarly, and Ming Jing. In addition to the recommendation of the local governor, the recommended candidates also need to take an exam, and the exam content is mainly Confucian classics.
The exam he is about to take at this time belongs to Special Section.
As for the manuscript in hand, it should be the test questions and answers of Special Science.
"Muzhi, wouldn't it be bad if we cheated so blatantly?"
Chen Hongyu looked at the standard answers in his hand with a complicated expression.
