Xunzi was preparing to set off at home.

It was already late winter. As the most popular scholar in the first imperial examination in Zhao State, Xunqiu just completed his wedding with Fei's legitimate daughter half a month ago.

Before the wedding, Xunzi's appointment had already come down.

Taoyi Order.

Taoyi is the county seat of Tao County and is also a first-class economic city in the Central Plains. Xunzi's appointment was undoubtedly a rocket and ascended to heaven.

The first person to raise objections to this appointment was not someone else, but Xunqiu's grandfather Fei Yi.

Fei Yi believed that Xunzi's appointment was too heavy, and Xunzi should start with the county magistrate of a small county, rather than reaching the sky in this way.

Zhao He used only three sentences to convince his grandson: "Fat Master, if I have worked hard to get the first place in the imperial examination, I can only be a small county magistrate, then do you think someone will come to participate in the imperial examination next time? To be honest, it is for your sake if I don't just get him a county magistrate. Anyway, you have so many old children in the country, so you can just watch and take care of me?"

So, Xunqiu had not even officially set out yet. His chief minister, censor, Si Kou and other supporting officials had already gathered under Fei Yi's order.

Xunzi has no objection to this. What can a rookie in the officialdom and grandchildren have?

Of course, even with the help of these old officials, if Xunzi's talents are insufficient, they can only maintain a level of stability at best. How can they truly manage the local government depends on the level of a landlord.

Zhao He is a very generous monarch. He gave 100 new houses to the top 100 palace examinations in Handan, which is now the most expensive in the world, so that the Xunqiu family would not have to live in the small courtyard of the civilian area.

There were several carriages parked in the open space between the lobby and the main entrance of the house, mainly containing some essential items from the Xunzi couple.

Xunqiu stood at the door of the lobby and was saying goodbye to several friends and his family who came to see him off.

Needless to say, parents and brothers are another special and very famous guest, that is, Zhou Zhen, a Legal scholar who ranked under Xunzi in the palace examination and is recognized as the second person in the imperial examination this time.

After experiencing that palace examination, the two people who had a vague competitive atmosphere gradually became good friends, which was also an unexpected thing.

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "You became the Taoyi Order, but I could only go to Guanzhong to be the Liyang Order. If I had known that the gap between the first and second was so big, I would have to read more books at the beginning and beat you desperately."

Xunqiu couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "All are adults, and the hills that should have already had regular shapes. Even if you read more, it would just make the shape more three-dimensional. You lost to me because of the gap in thought, but it has nothing to do with the book."

Zhou Zheng spat and said, "You are just loved by the king. I, the Legalists, will not join forces with the Confucianism."

Xunzi blinked and smiled, "If so, why would you, the Legal scholar, have a great time talking to me, a Confucian scholar?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Zhou Zheng patted Xunzi on the shoulder heavily: "Brother Xun, take good care of yourself and do your best!"

After a while, Xunqiu's convoy drove out of the brand new Xun Mansion and headed towards Feiyi Mansion.

Before leaving, I still have to pay homage to the wharf of my grandfather.

Fei Yi stroked his beard and looked at the newcomer who respectfully gave a big gift in front of him. He was very satisfied, but he did not forget to remind him: "This time, there were actually many oppositions in the imperial examination. Although those little ones were afraid of the king's reputation and dared not openly confront him, as the first in the imperial examination, you went to a big city like Taoyi, which would definitely become a breakthrough for them to target. You must be careful to be a officials and be careful in governing the place, and do not let the king down!"

Xunqiu did not dare to be negligent and responded respectfully.

Half an hour later, Xuncun's carriage left Handan and headed towards Daliang City.

The news soon fell into the sight of those who are interested.

In a very luxurious study in the mansion, a manager was respectfully reporting to the master: "Your Majesty, Xunqiu has set out to take office."

The owner of the mansion touched his beard and said slowly: "That's good. Send a few capable people to Taoyi. Don't rush to do it first. Wait until the opportunity is right before giving Xunzi a little color. You must make sure that he can't get through the plan. Do you understand?"

The manager was timid and then stepped down.

After the manager left, the owner of the mansion suddenly smiled and said, "What do you think?"

A large screen was placed behind the owner of the mansion. There was a sound coming from the screen, and there were more than one.

"Since Brother Zhao has taken action, we will naturally not retreat. I will naturally have to make a move in the situation in Taoyi."

"That's right. Although the king created an unprecedented situation in Da Zhao's history, he walked too fast and too anxious, and wanted to replace us with scholars from the bottom... Hey, he's still young."

"That's right, this time, we must let the people in the world see what kind of wine bag Xunzi, the so-called first in the third imperial examination, is like a wine bag. By the way, I will also teach Fei Yi a lesson. As the leader of our aristocratic family, he actually stood on the side of the king, and it is simply unforgivable!"

"The world of Da Zhao was supported by our families. Now, the king wants to leave us aside before he can unify the king, and there is no door!"

After a few voices spoke one after another, the owner of the mansion said lightly: "Since you have reached a consensus, then we will send effective personnel to act. Remember, this time the action must be hidden. Once the king notices it, everyone here will die without a burial place. Do you understand? If nothing else, let's stop here today."

There was a sound of footsteps behind the screen, followed by the sound of opening and closing the door, and finally the sound of footsteps gradually fading away.

The owner of the mansion sat quietly in the study alone, and after a while, he let out a meaningful sigh.

"The new policy... is a new policy. This new Zhao State, won't you give the old man some way to survive?"

As time passes day by day, winter finally ends, and another year of spring has arrived.

Zhao State began a large-scale mobilization of troops and materials. Such a big disturbance could not be hidden from others, which immediately attracted the attention and vigilance of the other three countries. At the same time, a large number of troops were gathered on the border with Zhao State.

After the spring plowing ended, a large number of farmers also began to be recruited. Zhao He officially appointed Lian Po as the main general Zhao She as the deputy general. The two led 150,000 troops to attack South Korea.
