The list of Han’s top rankings is expected by many people. Most of the top rankings are famous brothers from all over the world, which is also the advantage of famous brothers.

Although some people suspect that the imperial examination is suspected of fraud, mainstream voices recognize this list. This is something that everyone knows very well. It is impossible for poor brothers to compete with famous brothers.

For most poor families, they also want to be on the list, but they are more willing to accept reality and study in China.

The first place in the list was beyond the expectations of many people. It was not from Jingzhou or Yizhou families, nor from Longxi or Guanzhong families, but from Changshan County, Hebei. A soldier named Lu Cong, who is said to be the grandson of Lu Zhi.

For a time, various speculations about Lu Cong came overwhelmingly. Some people suspected that he was able to go to high school because of his fellow villager Zhao Yun, while others believed that this was because the Han Dynasty wanted to win over Hebei families. Some people were mysteriously rumored around. This time, Lu Cong brought 10,000 taels of gold to Chang'an.

In short, since ancient times, people have been neglecting each other. Whoever wins first will inevitably bear all kinds of rumors.

Before dawn, a high school taxi in Weiyang Palace Qinzheng Square had already taken a shower and changed into white crowns and robes, gathered in the square to wait for entering the hall.

Everyone's excitement was full of desire for a future career. Jiang Wei quickly walked past the crowd and found Lu Cong.

Although Jiang Wei ranked 24th in high school this time, although he was not able to enter the top ten, as the youngest student on the list this time, he was quite eye-catching. He was only seventeen years old and passed the imperial examination, which made many 40-year-old scholars ashamed.

"Brother Lu!" Jiang Wei found Lu Cong and greeted him from a distance excitedly.

Lu Cong also saw Jiang Wei, hurried over and complained, "I'm looking for you everywhere, and I thought you didn't come, where have you been?"

"I changed my clothes a little slower, it was just now."

Lu Cong pulled Jiang Wei aside and whispered: "I got a message that I can choose my own destination this time, I can go to the local area as a county magistrate, I can stay in Chang'an as a scholar, and I can also go to the army to experience it. Where are you planning to go?"

"I plan to join the army!"

Jiang Wei's decision did not surprise Lu Cong. Jiang Wei was originally Zhao Yun's apprentice, so it was normal for him to join the army.

"Brother Lu, where are you?" Jiang Wei also asked.

"I plan to go to the local area to be a county magistrate. Although many people advise me to stay in Beijing and get to know more connections, I am determined to do something practical for the people."

"You can choose your own county if you have the first name. Where is Brother Lu going to choose?"

Lu Cong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I want to go to Hexi or Lingzhou or Hehuang area."

Jiang Wei nodded silently. He knew that Lu Cong was a person with lofty ambitions and would not seek immediate interests. "I support Brother Lu's decision!"

At this time, Lu Cong remembered something again and laughed in a low voice: "The name is Wang Zhi, do you still remember what I told you?

Jiang Wei nodded. Of course he remembered that Wang Zhi's real name was Zhang Zhi, and he was Zhang Zhao's nephew. Unexpectedly, he was ranked first in high school and deserved to be a famous brother of the Zhang family.

At this moment, someone suddenly called them, "Brother Lu, Brother Jiang!"

When the two turned around, they saw Gu Han rushing over. He smiled excitedly and said, "So you are here!"

Gu Han passed the 77th place in the exam this time and also passed the list. Unfortunately, Zhang Ting failed and got two places.

Although Lu Jiang and the other two had a deep relationship with him, they knew each other and lived together again. The two of them also smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Gu for high school!"

"I can't compare to you. I'm ashamed to join you in the last list."

Gu Han whispered again: "I heard that you can choose your own destination. Do you have any plans?"

Lu Cong and Jiang Wei looked at each other and shook their heads, "We haven't thought about it yet."

Jiang Wei asked, "What are Brother Gu's plans?"

"Of course I want to stay in Chang'an, which is also the family's expectation. All the eight Jiangdong scholars on the list unanimously decided to stay in Chang'an."

Lu Cong was able to handle Gu Han's decision. The Gu family was not short of fame in Jiangdong, but they had no connections in Chang'an. They stayed in Chang'an, and they were also in order to gradually build connections in Chang'an.

At this time, a polite official shouted in the distance, "Line into the hall!"

Celebrities lined up one after another, and in the morning light, the two teams entered the Qinzheng Hall. In order to avoid suspicion, the main hall of Weiyang Palace has not been officially opened, but has been temporarily opened only to hold some major ceremonies.

Today, the famous scholars from the list met together, and the largest palace in Weiyang Palace was opened. Under the guidance of the ritual officials, famous scholars entered one after another. Dozens of senior military officials from the Han Dynasty sat on both sides of the hall. Looking at these young scholars, they whispered and discussed. On the high steps, King Liu Jing of Han was sitting upright.

The scholars had received etiquette training in advance, and they went forward to salute together, "See Your Highness the King of Han!"

Liu Jing smiled and waved his hand, "Dear talents are exempt from gifts!"

Everyone stood up straight, Liu Jing stood up and walked to the steps, and slowly said to everyone: "This time, 50,000 people took the imperial examination, but in the end they were only admitted. Only one out of the five people was listed. You are all heroes, the best taxi, and will also become pillars of our Han Kingdom. In Han Kingdom, you will have the opportunity to succeed step by step, but you may also decline. Everything depends on your own efforts."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing waved his hand, two officials about ten years old walked out from the side and bowed to Liu Jing. Liu Jing pointed at them and said, "The one on the left is Cui Si, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, the first place in the imperial examination in Xiangyang that year, and the one on the right is Xun Zhi, the chief censor of the imperial examination in Xiangyang that year. I believe everyone has heard of it. In just five or six years, they became two thousand stone high-ranking officials. They have been county officials, county magistrates, guards, and inspected and inspected various places. Although they were not very experienced, they were promoted step by step with their outstanding political achievements, and eventually became the youngest two thousand stone high-ranking officials of the King of Han."

The examples in front of us made the blood of the scholars boil. They all longed to be like Cui Si and Xun Zhi, and they took only five or six years to become a high-ranking official.

Liu Jing smiled again and said, "Although Cui and Xun are the best in the imperial examinations in Xiangyang, it does not mean that others are not doing well. In fact, among the 10 or 20 people admitted to the imperial examinations in Xiangyang, only more than ten are still hovering as county magistrates, and the remaining more than eighty people served as county officials and even guards. Like them, everyone is facing the opportunity to revive the Han Dynasty. As long as you work hard and be honest and discipline yourself, you will definitely succeed."

The soldiers were so excited that they even shouted.

...........

After meeting the top-ranked taxi, Liu Jing returned to his official room. Although he was very concerned about the imperial examination, what he is more concerned about now is sending troops to Jiangdong. It is early August and they must end the Jiangdong Battle before the New Year.

There was not much time left for him, so he had to act as soon as possible. When he returned to the official room, Liu Jing immediately brought the ministers and the ministers of the Secretariat and participated in the discussion together with the left and right ministers of the Secretariat.

In the meeting hall, everyone gathered together. Liu Jing took out a quick report and said to everyone: "This is an urgent quick report sent by Huang Zhong from Chaisang. At present, the 70,000 troops have been assembled. Together with the 20,000 Han troops deployed on the north bank of Jianye and the 10,000 troops in Kuaiji County, a total of 100,000 troops are ripe. The time to destroy Jiangdong is ripe."

Sima Yi also stood up and said to everyone: "According to the news we received from Jiangdong, in order to cope with the crisis, Sun Quan once again conscripted tens of thousands of troops and forced 100,000 people to dig the Jiangnan Canal. The taxes were heavy and Jiangdong was in a state of depression, which made the entire Jiangdong angry, and the people were not attached to it. Countless people fled to Kuaiji County. Yuzhang and Jiujiang counties expressed their willingness to submit to the Han Dynasty. We can no longer allow Jiangdong to continue to decline, otherwise even if it is unified, it will become a burden for us."

Everyone understood that Liu Jing's determination to destroy Jiangdong was not something they could stop him. At this time, Jiang Wan stood up and said, "Although our financial resources have not been fully restored, the summer grain harvest in various places this year has been bumper, and the government has reserved certain food reserves. At present, Jingzhou has mobilized 200,000 shi of grain to Chaisang, and at least 200,000 shi will be needed to maintain peace after occupying Jiangdong. If we consider the harvest of autumn grain, we can basically deal with this Jiangdong Battle. In addition, the Jiangdong Battle does not require the Hefei Battle, and we will not spend much pension for the fallen soldiers. The key is that the battle cannot be delayed until next spring, otherwise it will have a great impact on the recovery of people's livelihood in Jiangdong, and we may not be able to hold on."

Liu Jing smiled at everyone and said, "In fact, I can end the Battle of Hefei in only two months. It only lasted for more than half a year to drag down Cao Wei. Jiangdong is just the opposite. We have laid a good foundation in Jiangdong. I can assure you that the Battle of Jiangdong will end within two months."

Everyone laughed, but Xu Shu said a little worriedly: "Does Your Highness have to go to the battle in person? Maybe the two generals Huang Zhong and Gan Ning can destroy Jiangdong."
