"What? You want me to be a general?!!"
"What? Are you going to report to General Wang's house?"
Inside Tongfu Inn, Xia Houying jumped up.
"Long Wu, are you stupid or am I stupid?"
Not to mention Xia Houying himself didn't believe it, everyone in Pei County almost didn't react.
I originally thought it was Xiao He, but Cao Shen and the others went straight to the sky in their literary examinations.
But what I didn't expect was that the first official position... was actually Xia Houying? Or just take the general?
"I do not know either!"
"I went to Jinyiwei today to return my Feiyu uniform, and I was immediately promoted to flag officer. Commander Long Qie even patted me on the shoulder and told me to do a good job."
"Hold on, let me bring you a message."
"Brother Xia Houying is said to be the deputy general of the Xuanjia Army, and then Fan Kuai will also go and be the vanguard and centurion of the Xuanjia Army."
The five dragons were also in a daze.
Although Xiao He said that Long Wu was going to be promoted, he never expected it to be so soon!
Besides... the flag officer seems to be the candidate to be the commander of the North and South Zhenfu Division that will be established next, right? He, Long Wu, doesn’t know either.
"Xuanjia Army?"
"Brother Xiao, you are very knowledgeable. Do we in Great Qin have such an army?"
Cao Shen scratched his head and thought carefully, but he had no clue, so he had no choice but to ask Xiao He.
Xiao He pondered slightly, looked at Long Wu's confused look, looked at Xia Houying's completely unbelievable information, and Fan Kuai's stunned look, and instantly understood:
"As I expected, this Black Armor Army should be an army under preparation."
"The Great Qin Dynasty has a military merit system. If Xia Houying and Fan Kuai join the army, they will not be able to become captain of ten or centurion without military merit."
"Now what Long Wu said, Xia Houying is the deputy general of the Xuanjia Army, and Fan Kuai is the centurion!"
"This is only possible with a new army!"
Speaking of this, Xiao He paused slightly, as if he had thought of some possibility, and was actually a little moved:
"It's even...possible that this Xuanjia Army was created by Prime Minister Liu for you two!"
"Otherwise, Prime Minister Liu is the Minister of Literature of the Qin Dynasty, how could he rashly get involved in the military affairs?"
Thinking of this, Xiao He was even a little moved.
They set up troops for Xia Houying and Fan Kuai without even meeting them. What kind of trust and kindness is this?
The price paid is definitely not something that those who have not yet entered the court can estimate!
Even... this is no longer cultivating a faction of party members, but simply establishing a Peixian faction!
"But brothers Fan Kuai and I...how dare Prime Minister Liu do that?"
Everyone in Xiahou Ying was dumbfounded!
Liu Bai didn't take them seriously, but Xia Houying was fine. As a martial artist, it was normal not to be taken seriously.
but...
This sudden happiness fell from the sky, how could Xia Houying not panic?
What makes him panic is not that there is any conspiracy behind this, but he is just a rough guy, and it doesn't matter if people die or birds fall to the sky.
The panic is... let down!
If he fails to live up to Prime Minister Liu's expectations...
According to Brother Xiao He, this is the establishment of an entire army! If he failed, Xia Houying would still be unable to atone for his sin even if he jumped into the cauldron and cooked himself!
"Pioneer? That's good! I'll just chop up people! Anyway, I used to kill dogs, so I'm clear!"
Compared to Xia Houying, Fan Kuai smiled heartlessly.
As for letting him down or not letting him down, Fan Kuai didn't think much about it. He just wanted to kill the enemy, right?
Xiao He nodded slightly and admired Liu Bai deeply.
We haven’t met each other yet, but we know how to recognize people! This Prime Minister Liu is unpredictable!
Fan Kuai is impulsive, brave and righteous! If he were placed in the position of deputy general, it might put the entire Xuanjia Army in danger. It is precisely the pioneer centurion who is most suitable!
As for Xia Houying... Although he is also a fool, at least he thinks more than Fan Kuai!
If Xiao He's estimate was correct, this Xuanjia Army was definitely a powerful sword force, not an ordinary infantry fighting force.
"Okay, you two, hurry up and freshen up, and report to General Wang's residence!"
Xiao He waved his hand, stopped everyone's discussion, and spoke calmly.
Since the formation of the Xuanjia Army is related to General Wang, it is naturally foolproof.
In the Qin Dynasty, apart from His Majesty the First Emperor, this old general can definitely make a fortune when it comes to military affairs!
Besides, Xia Houying was only a deputy general, so Xiao He didn't worry too much.
"Ang! Brother Xiao, I'm going to take a shower right now!"
Fan Kuai grinned.
....
Late at night, candlelight flickered in Zhangtai Palace.
"Your Majesty, these are the fifty literary examination papers selected by General Wang."
Dunruo brought a small box and placed it next to His Majesty the First Emperor's desk.
Then he opened it, took out the test paper, and placed it on His Majesty's desk.
Looking at these paper test papers, even Dunruo couldn't help but marvel that the 'paper' in Juxiantang is really convenient!
Normally, if it were bamboo slips, I would have to carry them back and forth more than a dozen times.
His Majesty the First Emperor slowly closed the bamboo slips, looked at the essay examination papers, and moved his eyes slightly: "Shun sent his hair among the acreage, Fu Shuo raised it between the blocks, and the glue Ge raised it among the fish and salt. Yi Wu was raised by the soldiers, Sun Shu'ao was raised by the sea, and Baili Xi was raised by the city."
"Nowadays, the hearts of ordinary people are no different from those of the sages."
After saying these words, even Dunruo beside him understood at this moment that His Majesty the First Emperor was in a good mood today!
Although it was the first time to select officials through the literary examination, it was a fair opportunity that Da Qin truly gave the powerless people in the world.
No matter what the outcome of this incident is, at least in the history books, it will leave a favorable comment to Da Qin that officials are selected regardless of their origins.
Your Majesty does not care about future generations, but Da Qin cannot ignore it. This concerns the world's views on Da Qin, and also affects the development of Da Qin in the future.
"This time, in addition to filling official vacancies, we also need talents for the prime minister, and it is best to have talents for border management."
His Majesty the First Emperor flipped through the test papers, with a slight surprise flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, His Majesty the First Emperor's eyes suddenly condensed.
I saw a test paper with a completely different answering angle than the previous test paper!
"Pingrong Policy"
"Government"
These two opening titles alone are enough to show this person's ambition.
His Majesty the First Emperor read these two articles carefully with his eyes like sharp knives.
Ping Rong policy is written to govern the border areas, and governance is sparsely written to slow down the administration.
The combination of the two coincides with the great Qin Dynasty at this moment!
The candlelight in Zhangtai Palace swayed, as if feeling the fierce momentum of His Majesty the First Emperor, still in the wind.
Dunruo on the side felt that his breathing was even a little stagnant.
"good!"
A shout sounded.
His Majesty the First Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly!
"Ping Rong Ce" and "Zhi Zhi Shu"! Viewing this, I feel like I read Han Feizi's "Gu Anger" and "Five Beetles"!"
His Majesty the First Emperor picked up the paper, turned it over and over, and read it again.
"Crack!"
The lights explode slightly.
I don’t know how long it took, but the paper was finally put down.
"I am so old, I didn't expect to find this person again!"
"Da Qin..."
"There are so many wise men in the countryside!"
In the candlelight, His Majesty the First Emperor pulled off the seal of "Seal" and revealed the name on it:
Pei County, Xiao He!
