Farmer of Shu Han

Madam You thought so too.

If there are really outstanding people in these lists, they will definitely stand out in the next year's assessment.

If it is a generation with only fame but no real talent, it is still a question of whether they can handle the practical affairs of the counties well.

"Then what was Alang looking at when he was alone in the room just now?"

Remembering the tissue paper that Feng Duhu put aside when he came in, Mrs. You couldn't help asking.

It was so hot outside, she really didn't want to go back to the government office in front of the mansion, there was a long way between them.

"Oh, it's nothing." Feng Duhu replied casually, "Isn't it the news from the country of Wu that you sent over?"

"Really?" Mrs. You was a little surprised, "What's so interesting about those news?"

I don't know what she thought of, Mrs. You's eyes were a little wary, and a little weird:

"I didn't expect you to be so interested in Sun Quan's harem..."

When Feng Duhu heard this, he almost broke his defense, and was so angry that he knocked her on the head:

"What are you thinking? Can the matter of Sun Quan's harem be a normal thing?"

Madam You covered her head, her eyes widened, and she asked:

"So you're interested?"

Sure enough, as he grows older, has he developed from a woman who likes to be engaged to a wife who likes others?

Feng Duhu raised his hand again as if to strike, Madam You couldn't help laughing, and turned her head away.

"Isn't it because Sun Quan wants to be a queen but can't get it? Is there anything worthy of attention?"

According to Mrs. You, Sun Quan may be a good hand in politics.

But whether it is in the military or in the matter of the harem, it has been handled in a mess.

There is no decisive spirit of the founder of the country at all.

Proclaimed the emperor, established a prince, and obviously had a royal wife, but wanted to surpass the royal wife and make a concubine the queen.

The last person who did this was Cao Rui, right?

If the name is not right, the words will not be right.

What is good at the top will be effective at the bottom.

If you don't believe me, let's see what the state of Wei looks like now?

Not to mention that the main wife, Mrs. Xu, is the adoptive mother of the prince Sun Deng.

The prince and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to establish the Xu family, and according to the rules, they also wanted to establish the Xu family, but Sun Quan wanted to establish the Bu family.

Neither side is willing to back down.

Sun Quan has been proclaiming himself emperor for so long, and he doesn't even have a harem master.

Well now, Mrs. Xu is dead, Mrs. Bu is also dead, the two sides have no more disputes, and finally reached an agreement, wanting to make Mrs. Yuan as queen.

The Yuan family is the daughter of Yuan Shu. After four generations and three generations, her status is fine.

It's a pity that after following Sun Quan for so many years, he has no son and half daughter under his knees.

Those born by themselves cannot be supported, and those that are adopted cannot be supported.

Yuan's rejection of the Queen's position was precisely on the grounds of childlessness.

"This is the third time Yuan has rejected the position of empress."

Mrs. You finally made a conclusion:

"It seems that she is indeed as rumored, with extraordinary moral integrity."

The so-called thing is only three, since Yuan Shi refused three times in a row, then it is estimated that she really does not want to be a queen.

"Ah Lang thinks, who will Sun Quan choose as queen in the end?"

Anyway, since she didn't want to leave this room for the time being and feel the heat of midsummer, Mrs. You was happy to chat with Feng Duhu.

Although the affairs of the Xu family, Bu family, Yuan family and others were related to the palace, they were ultimately related to the position of the empress.

The queen's position is not a secret matter of the palace, nor is it a private matter of the emperor, but an edict to the world.

But any sensible emperor knows this kind of thing, and it is best to reach an agreement with the courtiers.

With the resource support of the Xinghan Society, Ma Dazui is doing well in Wu country now, and it is basically effortless to inquire about these things.

Feng Duhu shook his head:

"How do I know? If it weren't for the news sent back by Ma Dazui, I would have known of a Bu family, Sun Quan's other concubines, and I had never heard of them before."

This is not a lie.

After all, as a pseudo-Three Kingdoms fan in the previous life, how could it be possible that he hadn't played Mowing Wushuang before crossing over?

If I remember correctly, the sixth series is the first time a step trainer has appeared, or is it the seventh series?

Anyway, the small appearance is not bad, you can see it.

Silently calculated, I should have seen two series of step trainers, but I couldn't wait for the eighth series.

Oh, that should be the Six Series.

In the seventh series, I controlled the character and even agreed to the step trainer's confession.

I don't know if the eighth series will come out...

Feng Duhu was thinking wildly, and he couldn't help showing nostalgia on his face.

Mrs. You narrowed her eyes, her gaze was dangerous:

"What are you thinking about?"

Unprepared, Feng Duhu replied casually: "Bushi!"

"I heard that Mrs. Bu is very beautiful and won the favor of Sun Quan. It is reasonable for Alang to be interested in her. It's a pity, no matter how beautiful she is, she has become a withered bone now..."

Only then did Feng Duhu come to his senses, looking at Mrs. You who was discussing with him the women in Sun Quan's harem with a serious look, he couldn't help laughing out loud:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if she didn't die, how old is she now?"

Both daughters were married, and even the eldest daughter, Sun Luban, married twice.

Madam Right snorted.

In the past, she hadn't become a regular yet, so she naturally wanted to make this man more affectionate, so she shouldn't be too single-minded towards his wife.

Now she has become a regular, and even after her, there is a newcomer.

Butts are different, thinking is naturally different.

There are already five in the house, and they are all his golden wind and jade dew. Does he still want to see the countless in the world?

Mrs. Left and Right, when she first took a fancy to him, didn't she just see that he was very different from other men?

If he dared to lie to them for so many years and only now showed his true nature, he might not be trying to hoist some unknown object from the roof of the warehouse in Feng's residence.

Old couples are old, and occasionally they quarrel or something, and learn how to behave like a child when they were young, which is not a little fun.

Feng Duhu naturally didn't take Mrs. You's humming seriously:

"However, what Si Niangni said is correct. Sun Quan has been procrastinating on the matter of becoming an empress for a long time, and even went so far as to be in a stalemate with the officials and even the crown prince."

"The wives and concubines died one after another, and instead of chasing their wives as queens, they pursued posthumous concubines as queens. These practices are indeed similar to those of Cao Rui back then."

"It doesn't look like anything on the surface, but I'm afraid it's going to bury hidden dangers for the future. It's good that Sun Quan can control the court and the palace."

"If you are old and have little energy and can't hold back the situation, there will probably be endless disputes in the imperial palace, causing the country to be in turmoil."

Mrs. You thought that he could say something long, but she didn't expect it to be just wishful thinking.

But when he saw her, he shook his head, apparently disagreeing with Feng Duhu's opinion:

"Sun Deng, the crown prince of the Wu Kingdom, has a long-standing virtuous name, won the support of all the officials in the court, and is about the same age as A Lang. Even if Sun Quan is not around, he must be able to stabilize the situation quickly."

"As for the harem, even though there will be some disputes, it is nothing more than women competing for favor. How can it cause turmoil in the country?"

If the prince of Wu is young and needs the queen mother to manage the government, there may be some possibility.

But Sun Deng's age coincided with the golden age of his life.

None of the sons of Sun Quan could shake their status.

Then the women in the harem, even if they have intentions, will not have too much influence.

Feng Duhu looked at Mrs. You in surprise.

I have to say that the current Mrs. You has really good political vision.

One sentence points out the root cause of the chaos in the court and the turmoil of the country in the later period of Sun Quan's power.

That was Sun Deng's sudden death.

Sensing Feng Duhu's gaze, Mrs. You blinked, a little confused.

Feng Duhu forcibly resisted the urge to discuss with Mrs. You how to add firewood to Wu Guo if Sun Deng really died suddenly.

With some emotional fluctuations, Feng Duhu stood up and took two steps, and touched his chin:

"That's not necessarily the case. Now Sun Quan is about to reach the age of ears, right? I remember that a few years ago, he specially sent people overseas."

But all the emperors who are getting old and want to live forever, there is not one who is not fatuous in his later years.

This was true of Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

These three have already occupied the top five emperors in Chinese history.

Compared with them, Sun Quan is not worthy of carrying shoes for others.

They can't escape, so Sun Quan can escape?

An old husband and wife, Mrs. You knows elegance when she hears the piano.

Not to mention that she performed the song "Sleepwalking Tianlao Yin Staying Farewell" by herself and managed to send it to Sun Quan.

The most notable result is: Sun Quan ignored the opposition of the public and insisted on going his own way, sending a fleet to sea to find islands.

But seeing her eyes light up:

"What does Ah Lang mean, can we do it again?"

Feng Duhu stopped, looked at Mrs. You, and smiled:

"Think about it, how can you make Sun Quan even more careless?"

"Political affairs?"

You are so bad!

The couple looked at each other, and their eyes were shining with the light of ready to do bad things.

At the end of June in the second year of Yanxi, the Royal Academy officially announced the list of students enrolled this year.

None of the talents recommended from various places were selected for the academy, and they only said that they would first be sent to the county and township for a period of one year.

Talented students who want to serve the country can use half a year to come to Chang'an to report.

After the Great Court Meeting next year, the emperor will personally serve wine in Chang'an City to see him off, similar to the former emperor of the Han Dynasty to welcome the guards of the capital.

If you can pass the assessment during the next year's time to go to the countryside, you can enter the college to study.

Those who are outstanding in the assessment can be directly recommended to become an official.

If you don't want to become an official, but still want to continue to study, your merits can be accumulated, and when you are promoted in the future, you can give priority to substitutes.

The imperial examination is just a new thing, and there is no perfect statement on how the rules should be set.

After all, so many people have been recommended from all over the world, most of them have the intention of "casting the net widely and collecting more fish".

Coupled with the example of the Liangzhou exam, although many people are dissatisfied with going to the countryside to observe the people's conditions for a year, it does not mean that it is unacceptable.

After all, the emperor personally served wine to see him off, and the court had already given him enough face.

For the herdsmen of the emperor, the emperor offered wine to thank you, what else do you want?

"Ji Yan, Ji Yan, I've won! I've won! I'll be able to enroll in the next year at the latest."

Du Yu, who had always wanted to study in the Royal Academy, was actually still a little apprehensive after talking with his own adults.

After all, although he is young, he is not a child of ordinary people after all.

Even if the lord did not speak clearly, he could vaguely guess that something was happening between the imperial court and the aristocratic families in Yongzhou Bingzhou Hedong and other places.

The Jingzhao Du family, although considered a famous family, has declined after all. It has no reputation and is not strong enough.

If the number of places is limited, it is still a question of whether they can compete with others in the end.

This worry finally dissipated after the Royal Academy announced the list.

There is still a one-year assessment period before enrolling. Although it may still be impossible to get rid of the influence of the family, one's ability can be brought into full play after all.

On this point, Du Yu, who is not well-known, is very confident.

Of course, Du Yu also has the confidence, otherwise, he would not dare to say that he wants to make a contribution.

Pei Xiu knew early on that her good friend wanted to enter the academy, and although her wish was not fulfilled at this time, it was at least half the success.

As for whether it will succeed in the end, Pei Xiu, who was born as a child prodigy, still believes in the opponent's ability.

He helped the army in the unaccompanied camp in Hedong, and was later sent to rebuild Tongguan and then to repair Zhengguo Canal.

For Pei Xiu, Pei Xiu knows best what the rules for decentralization to counties and townships formulated by Feng Shanzhang himself look like.

But see him reminded:

"Yuan Kai, delegating to counties and townships is an extremely tiring task. You need to be prepared and don't be careless."

Du Yu laughed and said:

"Even if Ji Yan doesn't say anything, I still want to ask. How should I do this so-called decentralization of counties and townships? Does Ji Yan know the rules?"

Thinking of the two years when she worked with her husband, Pei Xiu couldn't help feeling a little bit sad:

"Decentralization to the counties and townships, to observe the people's sentiments, is not just talking casually, but really going to work in the fields."

Du Yu was taken aback: "Going to work in the fields?"

Pei Xiu nodded:

"Yes, if my guess is correct, Yuan Kai will be sent to the county and township together with the college students who graduated this year. They are internships, and you are the assessment."

Those college students don't have the reserve of ordinary scholars, they are the masters who can really roll up their trouser legs and work in the field.

Hearing what Pei Xiu said, Du Yu became curious and urged to explain in detail.

Pei Xiu has formally entered the academy to study in the past half a year, but thinking of the two years of working and studying, she also feels that she has benefited a lot.

So they come one by one.

After hearing what Pei Xiu said, Du Yu was a little worried:

"Hearing what Pei Xiu said, I don't care, but being able to study in the academy, why not suffer?"

"But the children of other aristocratic families are mostly well-clothed and well-fed, so they may not be able to endure this hardship. I'm afraid it will cause another disturbance by then?"

Pei Xiu didn't understand what Du Yu was worried about:

"If they can't endure this hardship, wouldn't Yuan Kai just have a better chance of passing the assessment?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Du Yu shook his head, "Everything must be done with a degree. If there is no big disturbance and does not affect the assessment, it will be a good thing for me."

"But if it becomes a big mess, who knows what Feng Shanchang will think? Isn't that the case with the previous Wei thief's flashy case?"

The vanity case implicated most of the young students in Wei State.

Feng Duhu has a great reputation and has fought in the battlefield for many years. He is naturally a resolute person, and he will definitely not be threatened by others.

If someone doesn't know what is good and what is bad, and thinks he can coerce people to make trouble, and if he really wants to annoy him, who knows what will happen?

Hearing what Du Yu said, Pei Xiu laughed and said:

"Yuan Kai is concerned about chaos. How can we compare Wei's vanity case with my devolution to counties and townships? I don't know that the devolution of counties and townships is just to let students know the facts and avoid vanity."

"As long as Yuan Kai can be serious and pragmatic in the county, why worry?"

Du Yuzhi knew that Pei Xiu was highly valued by Feng Duhu. Hearing what he said, he immediately relaxed:

"With Ji Yan's words, I know what to do."

After thinking for a while, he asked again in a low voice:

"According to Ji Yan, if I can choose where to go, where is the best place for me to go?"

"It's from the east of the river."
