As soon as these words came out, there was an explosion outside the palace, which originally seemed quiet.
"Who is the master?"
“Who is Linzi’s Lord Fu Yan~~~”
"I know! It's Father Yan, the head of the Strategist family!"
"Is that the one who first surrendered to the whole land, but was not accepted? Then he turned to the King of Yan, but was not accepted. Then he went to the King of Zhao, but was not accepted?"
"I really didn't expect that it was the strategist who came out on top."
"."
Zhu Fuyan still has a certain reputation, because he traveled around the country and was ostracized by many people, which can be regarded as a different kind of reputation.
Zhang Tang frowned at the chaotic scene in front of him and called on the officials behind him to play drums.
Amidst the sound of drums, the noisy scene finally gradually calmed down.
It was only then that Zhang Tang shouted loudly, "Where is the father of Linzi?"
"Someone is here~~~"
A cry with a cry came from the crowd, and as everyone moved out of the way, the staggering Master Fu Yan finally came to Zhang Tang.
At this time, Master Fu Yan, with tears streaming down his face and his voice choked with sobs, wiped away his tears and saluted Zhang Tang, "Master Fu Yan of Linzi, studied under Fan Shushisun, and governed Zongheng!"
The so-called Uncle Fan refers to Fan Ju, and Uncle is the character of Fan Ju.
What this means is that my master Fuyan learned the art of vertical and horizontal movements from the descendants of Fan Ju.
Fan Ju was the prime minister of the Qin State and one of the representatives of political strategists. His most famous diplomatic strategy was to propose "diplomacy at a distance and attack at a close distance". He first concentrated his efforts on attacking the three Jin countries at home, and made good friends with Qi and Chu who were far away from home.
The Qin State swept across Liuhe, and he also had a share of the credit.
As for Zhu Fuyan, he is from Qidi. You must know that Qidi is the headquarters of Confucianism.
He didn't study Confucianism, but he studied political strategism. Of course he wouldn't be able to survive in Qidi.
He was not taken seriously by the princes of Qi and was ostracized by Confucian scholars, so he had to move around Yanzhao and other places.
It's a pity that this is no longer the Warring States period, when there were many countries. The diplomats who pay attention to diplomacy have no place to use, and naturally they are not welcome.
In desperation, he had no choice but to travel to Zhongshan Kingdom, where he happened to meet Li Yunze who was holding the imperial examination.
Desperate, Zhu Fuyan naturally signed up to participate.
Although he is in charge of Zongheng, he can also read and learn from other books.
Naturally, there is no problem in literature, but in mathematics, it can only be said to be barely qualified.
However, he traveled around various places and had a deep understanding of local customs, astronomy and geography.
Not to mention history, of course one needs to learn history to govern politicians.
The strategist family gradually declined and was looked down upon by many schools of thought. The master's father Yan himself was from a poor family and was ostracized everywhere, which led to a perverse personality and a tendency to seek revenge. However, this was probably also the tradition of the politico family, because Fan Ju had such a character.
Zhang Tang nodded and continued, "The master of Linzi, Fuyan, scored 250 points in the imperial examination, ranking first among all."
Everyone was in an uproar, and someone couldn't help shouting, "Can you let me see his paper?"
Zhang Tang frowned slightly and showed displeasure.
Such people who cannot afford to lose are really disgusting.
However, thinking of Li Yunze's words, he still nodded and said, "The top 100 papers will be posted after the interview. After the palace examination is over."
After saying that, Zhang Tang stepped aside and signaled to his father Yan, "Please come in to see the king and conduct the palace examination."
The master's father Yan, who had been frowning all day because of being ostracized, walked towards the palace gate with his head held high and his chest held high.
But before entering, he paused and turned his head to scan the dark crowd of students outside.
"Hahahahahaha~~~"
The master's father laughed proudly, then threw up his sleeves and clasped his hands behind his back, and stepped inside.
Such an arrogant and domineering performance really made everyone so angry that they wanted to catch up and beat him up immediately.
Fortunately, Zhang Tang immediately reported the name of the second person: "The second place in the imperial examination of Zhongshan State, Puyang Ji'an."
As soon as this statement came out, it naturally caused another uproar.
Ji An, dressed in rich clothes, stepped out of the crowd and held his hands to Zhang Tang with a calm expression, "Ji An from Puyang, learned from his family, and treated Huang Lao."
Ji An is actually a Taoist who governs, but the Huang-Lao school is now the mainstream in the imperial court, and it is more convenient to use this name to do things.
His family has been aristocratic for generations. They have been serving as officials to protect the country since the Warring States Period, and they have been officials for generations when they came to the Han Dynasty.
This is also the reason why he was able to get a good score of 233 points in the imperial examination. He has a good family background.
When Ji An entered the palace for a test, he also stopped at the door.
However, he did not offend others like Master Fu Yan, but bowed his hands to everyone.
This kind of behavior naturally attracted everyone's favor, especially with the negative example of Zhu Fuyan, and many people responded to him for a while.
Zhang Tang, who looked calm, continued to report his results: "Third place in the imperial examination of Zhongshan State, Gongsun Hong of Shenchuan."
The third person announced, but there was some commotion among the crowd.
Several groups of people were divided into different groups and were shouting and cursing at each other.
Zhang Tang frowned and scolded, "Anyone who disrupts order will be captured!"
After hearing this, the people who were scolding over there gradually stopped, but they still looked at each other angrily.
Immediately, a man in Geyi who was nearly fifty years old came forward and raised his hand to Zhang Tang: "Gongsun Hong of Sichuan, studied under Hudu Du, and governed Gongyang in the Spring and Autumn Period."
Hu Wusheng is the name of Hu Wusheng, and his name is Hu Wusheng. He is a fellow disciple of Dong Zhongshu.
As for Gongyang in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is the Gongyang sect in Confucianism.
Gongyang sect first originated from Zixia, who passed down Gongyang Gao, and then spread all the way to this era.
The Gongyang Sect is a branch of Confucianism, which advocates that the world is for the common good and all enemies must be repaid.
The famous theory of his school is that if the king regards his ministers as his brothers and feet, then the ministers will regard him as his heart and soul. If a king treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a countryman. If a king treats his ministers like dirt, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit. '
The reason for the previous quarrel was that the Gongyang Sect had a bad relationship with several other schools of Confucianism. Seeing Gongsun Hong coming forward, he naturally wanted to vent his dissatisfaction.
Zhang Tang returned the favor and signaled Gongsun Hong to enter the palace for the imperial examination.
When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, Gongsun Hong also stopped and bowed to everyone.
When Gongsun Hong entered the palace, Zhang Tang continued to shout "The fourth place in the imperial examination of Zhongshan State, Langya's appearance is different"
In the palace, the agitated master Fu Yan carefully arranged his clothes before entering the palace to make sure there would be nothing rude, and then took a deep breath and walked in.
Li Yunze sat upright and smiled when he saw the master's father entering.
This person, Master Yan, has real talent and learning.
His most famous achievement is that he signed the "Tweening Order", which fundamentally eliminated the potential threat from the vassal states to the Han Dynasty.
Furthermore, he had a harsh attitude towards the local powerful people, but he did not kill the powerful people's families at every turn like the cruel officials. He advocated moving the local powerful people to the vicinity of Chang'an City.
When local tyrants are in power, they naturally run rampant and have no control over them.
But at the feet of the emperor, it is really a tiger lying down and a dragon coiled up.
This at least has a restraining effect on suppressing the expansion of local power.
In addition, it is proposed to farm on the border to reduce the loss of long-distance transportation of food, enrich the strength of the Great Wall Legion, and play an important role in combating the Huns.
Such a talented person is no buffoon.
"Master father Yan."
Seeing Li Yunze, Master Yan took a few steps forward and immediately saluted, "Greetings to your Majesty~~~"
"Um."
Li Yunze nodded, "Get up, sit down and talk."
"Here."
The so-called palace examination is actually Li Yunze's personal test of the character of these talents, to understand their ideological direction and opinions, etc.
After confirming these, you can decide whether it can be reused and where it will be used.
After asking many questions, Li Yunze took a sip from the wine glass on the table, "What do you think of the Huns?"
The master's father was stunned. It was not the King of Zhongshan's turn to take care of the Xiongnu affairs.
However, he has been discriminated against and humiliated for many years, and now that he has Li Yunze's attention, he is naturally extremely grateful and willing to work for him.
He immediately straightened his clothes and said in a deep voice, "Sima Fa says: No matter how big a country is, if it likes war, it will perish. Although the world is peaceful, if it forgets to fight, it will be in danger."
This long paragraph is roughly the core idea of his book "Admonition to Attack the Xiongnu", one of the "Nine Matters" dedicated to Emperor Wu.
In this regard, Zhu Fuyan is very fond of Li Yunze.
He just wants to fight the Huns!
Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction, "The king intends to appoint you as the censor of the Zhongshan Kingdom, in charge of supervision. I wonder if you are willing to become an official?"
With an excited look on his face, the master's father stood up and came to the middle to salute Li Yunze, "I have received your great love from the king, so I dare not disobey him."
By the time he left the main hall, Master Fuyan's chin felt like it was hitting the sky.
Doctor Censor, this is one of the Nine Qings with a rank of two thousand stones!
Even if he is the Jiuqing of Zhongshan Kingdom, he is still the Jiuqing!
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that would have been an important official in a country.
At that time, many small countries were not even as big as eight counties.
Seeing Ji An, Gongsun Hong and others waiting outside, the master raised his nostrils as a greeting.
In fact, he only greeted Ji An and treated Gongsun Hong coldly.
When he was in Qi State, he was not less angry with these Confucian scholars!
Ji An's happiness and anger were invisible, and he had no expression to respond.
But Gongsun Hong showed his displeasure and secretly wrote down the matter.
Both Zhu Fuyan and Gongsun Hong are small-minded and will retaliate for their anger. This is probably one of the reasons why Gongsun Hong tried his best to persuade Emperor Wu to execute his father Yan in history.
Ji An entered the palace, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, I have come to Zhongshan Kingdom to serve your Majesty on the orders of the Emperor."
Emperor Liu Qi not only sent Shi Fen, Zhidu and others to help, he also selected young talents to come as his team, and Ji An was one of them.
"oh?"
Li Yunze raised his eyebrows, "Then why do you want to take part in the imperial examination?"
"Without him, my hands are itchy."
"Haha~~~"
Li Yunze smiled, and after asking some questions, he simply made arrangements, "How about you becoming the servant of the Zhongshan Kingdom?"
Hearing this, Ji An was stunned.
Although the servant is a close minister, his rank is two thousand stones.
But the job is to drive the carriage and the horse. To put it bluntly, he is the coachman.
I have only learned so much. The great king asked me to be a driver.
"Um?"
Li Yunze chuckled, "But you don't want to?"
The reason for this arrangement does not mean that Ji An's ability is not good. On the contrary, Ji An's ability is very outstanding.
The real reason was that Ji An advocated a marriage.
This touched Li Yunze's nerves.
Ji An deeply worshiped, "I am willing to serve the king."
