Liu Bei said that he was busy with the assessment, which was not entirely a refusal. The assessment that was originally supposed to be scheduled for October was postponed for a month. Liu Xi was also quite unhappy. After all, this was the first assessment in the Year of Yankang.
If there was any mistake, the newly promoted Sikong would have to go home and rest immediately. But this time, Liu Sikong cannot be blamed for the problem. The main problem is that there are too many students.
Although candidates from all over the country set off early and prepared to come, there were still candidates from Yang, Jiao, Liang, and Xizhou who failed to arrive. The reason was very simple. Chidao was occupied. In the northwest, Xing Ziang was conducting large-scale examinations.
The start of construction required countless labor and material transportation, occupying several roads. In order to ensure the safe arrival of materials, even pedestrians were not allowed to pass through these roads, which caused the candidates to be unable to arrive on time.
As for Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, of course it was because Cao Situ was starting construction there.
After Liu Xi learned of these situations, he allowed Liu Bei to postpone the assessment and wait for these candidates. Liu Xi regarded this assessment as extremely important, and Liu Bei did not dare to slack off at all. Situ was not in Luoyang, and everything was in doubt.
It fell on him. This was also the first time for him to preside over a major event in the DPRK. He did not hope that there would be any problems. In terms of setting the questions, Liu Bei showed enough confidence in the official academy and directly asked Guan Huabing and the other three people to do it.
Responsible.
When all the candidates arrived, Liu Bei had also arranged the examination room and was waiting for them. The day of the examination came soon. A large number of candidates were arranged at the military academy. Gongsun Zan led the military students to be responsible for supervision. Gongsun Zan
He was quite happy. He had been patrolling around the examination room all day long. He had not been able to participate in the assessment in his life, but now he could monitor these candidates. He thought it was good.
Gongsun Zan's ferocious appearance frightened the candidates who came from all over the country. They all asked about his identity. After learning his identity, for some reason, the fear in their hearts quietly turned into awe.
On November 17, the assessment officially began.
There are still four subjects as always. In these days, although some ministers have proposed to increase the assessment subjects or improve the subjects, due to many obstacles, it has never been possible. The candidates came to their seats one by one and began to take the assessment.
, Liu Bei took Cao Zhi and other officials and started patrolling around. It must be said that Liu Bei still had a strong preference for Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi was originally an official promoted by Yuan Shao.
When facing the next Sikong, he was also uneasy. After all, every three princes would arrange their own confidants and would not use what was left by the previous one. But Liu Bei was different. When he first arrived at Sikong Mansion, he
It was Cao Zhi who showed the greatest love to Cao Zhi. This kind of love even made other officials a little jealous. Cao Zhi was very happy about this, but he also had some doubts in his heart. He didn't know what talent he had to make Sikong love him so much. Maybe it was just because of his A
father??
But his father's reputation in the temple is now ruined. Because of the incident in Yangzhou, the voice of asking Cao Mengde to cook almost resounded throughout Luoyang. Liu Bei also spoke for Cao Cao so many times that he was regarded as Cao Cao.
His comrades also have a bad reputation in the court. Among the three princes, no one is liked by the officials, even Sun Jian. In these years, Sun Jian has achieved a certain degree of success in both garrison innovation and drill innovation.
Achievements.
But the most terrible thing is that he is a war fighter. He has always wanted to destroy the Kushans and invade the southern Kushans. He tried every means to place the southern army at the border of the Kushans, and ordered Zhang Liao to oppress the Kushans.
, at the same time, in terms of trade with Guishan, he stopped the trade of military supplies. Various signs can make the officials guess what he meant. Such a war-fighting Taiwei is still the same in retrospect.
The period of the beheading maniac Zhang Taiwei.
This generation of San Gong may be the one that the officials hate the most, but there is no way. No one can take their place yet. People like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, although they are capable, are still young. Let such young boys
It is obviously unreasonable for them to serve as the Three Dukes, and the ministers have no ability to get them down, so they can only obey their orders in disgust.
Looking at the candidates who were busy writing, Liu Bei smiled and occasionally recalled his past events. Most of the candidates had finished writing their articles and were checking them when he saw a group of people walking in from outside the gate. A young and handsome man
The man, surrounded by everyone, looked at them gently and walked over. When he came in, Liu Bei and others were also startled. Liu Bei led everyone to worship.
At this time, many candidates naturally understood this person's identity.
The candidates became excited, their faces turned red, and they all stood up and saluted.
Liu Xi waved his hand, helped Liu Bei up, and sat on the main seat. He looked at the candidates' answers. The emperor was sitting on the main seat. This was a huge incentive for the candidates. The candidates scratched their heads and thought,
They were all invested in the assessment. Maybe the emperor wanted to check their test papers in person. They thought in their hearts and wrote even faster. Watching them write, Liu Bei stood beside Liu Xi and did not dare to walk away.
.
"Sikong, it's okay, you can just go about your business, I'm just taking a look..."
Liu Bei nodded and then continued his inspection.
After the assessment, the candidates bowed again and just left. Liu Xi also took out a few test papers and looked at them carefully. This was an assessment of Confucian classics. Liu Xi also followed Yuan Shu in Confucian classics and had a little understanding of them.
After reading some casually, Liu Xi nodded, stood up, and asked: "Sikong, nothing happened in this assessment?"
"Your Majesty, everything is fine."
"That's good. This time it's the first exam of Yankang, so there can't be any accidents... Sikong should pay more attention..."
Liu Xi gave a few instructions and then left.
After the emperor left, the officials in the examination room dared to breathe a sigh of relief. Liu Xi sat there. They were really frightened, fearing that something would go wrong. The short-sighted man secretly glanced at the other party's test paper and asked himself to raise it in front of His Majesty.
Don't start, after all, these people are officials at the official academy, responsible for education. If they educate candidates who practice favoritism and malpractice, how will the world treat them?
After returning to the Hall of Houde, Liu Xi did not continue to watch the assessment. Liu Bei was there to watch, which was enough. What he needed to pay more attention to was the canal. Cao Cao was about to start construction in Jingzhou, and he did not
Being polite, it directly shows that Yangzhou has never had a qualified governor, and the governors from various places are even more unbearable. This is really unfair to Jingzhou. He also asked the emperor to send a capable minister to Jingzhou. It would be best if the governor could be captured
Change it up.
This old Situ was even willing to give up his position as Situ, saying that he wanted to serve as the governor of Jingzhou.
Liu Xi had a headache. Of course, he could not remove Cao Cao from his position and ask him to be the governor of Jingzhou. However, he did not have a good candidate in mind who could cooperate with Cao Cao in digging the canal and be able to rule a state. Liu Xizheng was thinking
Then, suddenly, he paid some attention, and after thinking for a long time, he shouted: "Someone is coming!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yue walked in and asked with a smile: "Country?"
Liu Xi looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Let Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi come over!"
Qi Yue bowed and walked out quickly.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at Houde Hall.
Liu Xi looked at them and greeted them enthusiastically, but he was thinking in his heart that these two people had great talents. He knew that they were enough to serve as high-ranking officials. However, if Kong Ming went to Jingzhou,
There is no young man in the temple who can hold down Zhongda. But if Zhongda goes, then Kong Ming will do the same. People like Xun Yu and Guo Jia, although their qualifications and ability can hold down these young people from the East Palace,
But after all, they still have their own important things to do.
Guo Jia was at the minister's desk, and nothing could get around him. Xun Yu was at the minister's desk, almost the shadow of Liu Xi. All Liu Xi's edicts were reviewed and issued through him. Liu Xi could not let Xun Yu
It is impossible for Xun Yu to be distracted by Yu's departure. If Xun Yu does not come to help him, Liu Xi will never be able to finish reading the mountains of copywriting on the documents!!
With these thoughts in mind, Liu Xi said: "You two, now Cao Situ is going to start construction in Jingzhou, but this Jingzhou still lacks a capable minister... I have thought about it for a long time, Jingzhou is really huge, and you are still young, maybe
We cannot govern alone, so I will divide Jingzhou into two parts, with Jiangling as the boundary, Jingnan and Jingbei, and each of them will rule one area... Cooperate with Situ Gong to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou first...
After a few years of governance, what do you think if I send someone to take over the affairs in your hands?"
When Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi heard this, they did not refuse and nodded thoughtfully.
"Which of you wants to go to Jingbei and who wants to go to Jingnan?" the emperor asked with a smile.
Sima Yi turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang on the side. The two regions are of course different. Northern Jing includes the richest regions such as Xiangyang and Jiangxia, while southern Jing is the most backward and poorest region in Jingzhou, and Cao Cao built the canal.
, Jingbei will definitely pass, it can gain a lot of benefits, and can also use Situ's power to develop, but Jingnan... it's hard to say.
Should we choose Jingnan, which is the most difficult, or Jingbei, which is rich? This is a big question. Choosing Jingbei can easily govern, but choosing Jingnan will be extra difficult. But if it is a great governance, that is
Everyone in the world can see your talents!!
The two of them were thinking about it, and Sima Yi couldn't wait to say:
"I'm going to Jingbei!!"
Zhuge Liang looked at him blankly, speechless, and so did Liu Xi. In fact, Liu Xi had always thought that the two of them would compete for the position to Jingnan, and might even hurt each other for a while. After all, they were both
He is a strong young man. Who would have thought that Sima Yi wanted to go to Jingbei? Before Liu Xi could recover, Zhuge Liang slowly said: "Okay, then I will go to Jingnan."
Liu Xi nodded, glanced at Sima Yi strangely, and agreed with their decision.
Sima Yi grinned and glanced at Zhuge Liang with some pride. No matter how well you manage Jingnan, what the world often sees is the result. Who cares what kind of area you take over?
