The examination for the first imperial examination system of Yizhou Prefecture came to an end. After Qin Mi, who was invited to attend, left the General's Mansion, he got on his own carriage with his friend Peng Yi and returned to Ye County.

Qin Mi was swaying in the car and was a little confused. She was still thinking about the test questions in her mind and the significance of Guo Jia's move.

Outsiders don’t know that Guo Jia wants to use the exam to select new officials in Yizhou. Many people in Yizhou think that Guo Jia wants to use talent and learn to humiliate them, so when there is an exam, only Guo Jia and his staff know the reasons behind it.

But Qin Mi saw Guo Jia's intention, and sighed softly in her heart: Lord, how to deal with the end of the game after removing the gentry of Yizhou, you finally came up with a solution.

This countermeasure undoubtedly cut off the survival of the gentry. If you want to become an official, those who need to be able to take responsibility, and the path of filial, honest and talented has been abolished.

"I thought the test questions Guo Jia gave were so difficult, but that's all. Brother Zijie, you admire Guo Jia very much, it's an exaggeration."

Qin Mi frowned slightly, looked contemptuous to her friend Peng Ying sitting in front of her, and said deeply disdainful of Guo Jia, which made Qin Mi shake her head.

I know that this friend is also talented, but he is full of arrogance and looks down on everyone. He is calm in front of him, and Qin Mi can't figure out the reason. Perhaps his youthful reputation has made him admire him with preconceived ideas.

"This is a bad statement. Our Lord invited scholars from Yizhou to take the exam this time, not intentionally making things difficult for him. He intends to select real scholars from it to benefit the people of Yizhou. This is a great act of good."

Qin Mi called Guo Jia "my master" without any hesitation, but in fact he respected his friends. He recognized Guo Jia as the master and was open and upright without any need to hide it.

The admiration and protection of Guo Jia made Peng put away his contempt. A look of solemnity appeared on his handsome face and he said with concern: "Brother Zijie, do you know what people in the world will think of you?"

Hearing the words, Qin Mi smiled faintly and said, "The worldly praise and criticism, personal honor and disgrace are not worthy of the truth. I want to help my lord achieve great achievements and peace in the world, and the mountains will not move."

Peng Yan showed shame on his face. Qin Mi's ambition made him feel inferior, but he still sincerely explained the pros and cons.

"Brother Zijie, if Guo Jia is defeated, you will become a laughing stock in the world and you will not be able to protect yourself. Guo Jiaruocheng, countless remnants who are determined to be at the Han Dynasty will despise you in every way, and even your descendants will be implicated."

How could Qin Mi not understand this principle? He was the first child of aristocratic family to surrender to Guo Jia. No matter whether more children of aristocratic family would submit to Guo Jia in the future, he would always be at the forefront. Those who were loyal to the Han Dynasty would call him the same as Guo Jia, including the monarch, minister, father and son, benevolence and filial etiquette. Qin Mi was a person who was unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous in the eyes of the people of the world. Even if Guo Jia achieved the imperial career, later Confucian scholars would still criticize him for taking the lead in surrendering to the thief at this time.

Qin Mi remained silent, her mind was clear, and there was no need to say anything else, but Peng Xian thought Qin Mi was speechless, so he continued to advise.

"Brother Zijie, with your talent, if you leave Yizhou and join Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, it is no problem to leave your name in history. Guo Jia killed your elders, but you followed him. It is puzzling to understand whether it is true or reasonable. Yu Gong, Guo Jia was a criminal offender in the imperial court, a traitor in the Han Dynasty, and privately, Guo Jia has a bloody feud with the Qin family. If you follow Guo Jia, will he use you? "

Qin Mi didn't care and said calmly: "No matter whether our master should be attacked by the people of the world, the Qin family incited the people to cause chaos, success or failure, countless people's families were destroyed. The Qin family's crime was not with our master, but in the common people's lives, our master only punished the evil and forgive others, and he did not want to be killed again. I am grateful for my kindness and kindness. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu? Haha, can there be anyone else who can't see that the Yuan family's ambition is to unify Shandong and become king? What is the difference between it and our master? The world was deceived by our master and the Zhen family more than two years ago, but now, he has been deceived by the Yuan family, but the Yuan family has deceived the world."

At this time, Shandong refers to the area east of Wushan and Hangu Pass, similar to Kanto of the Kanto princes.

Peng Wei was shocked. After Qin Mi mentioned this, it seemed that many unsolvable confusions had answers.

Why was the Kanto coalition army powerful but ultimately failed to wipe out Dong Zhuo? Why did the Kanto coalition army stop after Dong Zhuo moved the capital? Only Sun Jian still fought with Dong Zhuo's generals in the Sili area.

Ambitions are all wolves and ambitions, so what is the difference between them and Guo Jia? Even Liu Yan, a relative of the Han Dynasty, was named the governor of the state after entering Yizhou, but in fact he became a local emperor. Will the Yuan family, which has four generations and three dukes, really spare no effort to support the Han Dynasty?

Silently sighed, Peng Yan asked Qin Mi with a worried look on his face: "Brother Zijie, will Guo Jia reuse you? And you, can you really let go of your family and personal grudges with Guo Jia?"

Qin Mi smiled and said to herself: "Remembering people's goodness and forgetting others' mistakes, my Lord treats me deeply and has a deep affection. The world is broken and the people in troubled times. If loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time, I can only be loyal to my Lord and not filial to the Qin family."

After a while, Peng Xian bowed to Qin Mi with a respectful look and remained silent.

Qin Mi's words shocked Peng Yi. Qin Mi was determined to assist Guo Jiakuang in supporting the world, and no longer cared about personal honor and disgrace and family self-interest.

After lifting the narrow curtains of the carriage, Qin Mi looked into the sky, and the snowflakes like goose feathers slowly fell, and the earth was already covered in silver.

The first snow of the year.

But the cold winter of the Yizhou gentry has not yet arrived.

Guo Jia, who was in the Chengdu General's Mansion, did not participate in reviewing the scholars' answers, and there were still many things to deal with. The review of the exam was completely left to Xi Zhicai and others.

"Guo Jia, Guo Jia, come out for me."

Cai Yong's angry words came from outside the hall. Guo Jia, who was sitting at the desk, looked up and Xiao Ren walked over and said, "Lord, Mr. Cai is about to break in without waiting for my report. Xiao Yi is stopping him."

Rubbing his temples, Guo Jia waved: "Please bring him in."

Cai Yong stalked into the hall with an angry face. Guo Jia tilted his body and held half of his cheek and asked helplessly: "Mr. Cai, what's the matter?"

Cai Yong snorted coldly and asked, "Guo Jia, you invited scholars from Yizhou to take the exam for talent studies. Are you planning to select talents from them for your use?"

After receiving the news, Cai Yong guessed Guo Jia’s intentions in this exam, but he did not object at that time. Now he is in a state of inciting a riot, which makes Guo Jia puzzled.

Guo Jia said frankly: "That's true. Although it is the way to recruit filial and honest talents in the Han Dynasty to win scholars, I can't believe in the talents recommended by counties and counties. Most of them are famous and untrue. Do I want to sit by and watch them take their position and not do their own politics? Putting aside the right and wrong of my capture of Yizhou, the people always have to live? Does Mr. Cai want me to poison the people?"

The selection of filial piety and integrity has long become a cancer of rule. Just talking about the matter, Cai Yong was not blindly foolish and loyal to the Han Dynasty. He was wrong or wrong. Policies that were harmful to the people should be abolished. And he came today obviously not to blame Guo Jia for introducing the imperial examination system.

"Then I asked you, do you dare to use those with outstanding talent and knowledge? No matter whether they are born, status, or past events."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "As long as I really want to benefit the people and stabilize the people, why don't I dare to use it? If you have other intentions, use your power for personal gain, or even make mistakes, then it's a different matter."

Cai Yong's expression changed and he said angrily: "Why did I, together with your subordinates, have listed outstanding talents, put Zhang Song's answer aside? Isn't this an obvious suppression of the talented people in Yizhou?"

It's Zhang Song again?

Guo Jia really didn't expect Zhang Song to stand out. He didn't think it was Cai Yong's secret collusion with the Yizhou gentry. After all, except for Qin Mi's answer sheet, everyone else's answer sheet was covered with their names. Before the review sheet was finished, there would basically be no favoritism and fraud. What's more, cross-explanation, Zhang Songruo is not talented, Cai Yong praises him to heaven. After reading Zhang Song's answer sheet, would he be applauded?

As for Xi Zhicai suppressed Zhang Song's test paper, it is probably related to Zhang Song's identity.

Zhang Song was born into the Zhang family of a large Shu clan. Not long ago, Zhang Su responded to Xu He's rebellion and was beheaded by Guo Jia. Now Zhang Song came to take the exam, so Xi Zhicai was cautious.

Unlike Qin Mi, Guo Jia and Qin Mi have had occasional contact for several months, but they have never had a plan with Zhang Song. No one can tell whether Zhang Song really wants to impress Guo Jia with his talent or have other plans.

"Mr. Cai, don't be impatient. I have heard of this person in Zhang Song for a little while. Zhicai put him aside not because he wanted to suppress the talented people in Yizhou. Otherwise, why should I issue a order to seek talents to Yizhou?"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Cai Yong calmed down and felt that Guo Jia's words were reasonable, so he sat down and waited for Guo Jia's explanation.

Guo Jia then said calmly: "Mr. Cai, Zhang Song has a brother named Zhang Su. A few days ago, Xu He rebelled, and Zhang Su led the tyrants of Shu County to respond. After the rebellion was suppressed, Zhang Su was ordered to be executed by me. Zhang Song, shouldn't I beware of him? Since he is talented, if I want to use him, I will definitely not be a small official and a minor official. But if I value him, he will have another intention and cause trouble again. What should I do then? There is a saying that you may not like to listen, but I still have to say that at this moment, if Guo Jia, Yizhou does not have me, Guo Jia, will fall into unprecedented turmoil. Jingzhou is the lesson of the past, and if I, Guo Jia, die, no one will stabilize the situation in Yizhou. The chaos in Yizhou is ten times that of Jingzhou in the past."

This is the truth. Except for Guo Jia, there is no other person in Yizhou who can stabilize the situation. Guo Jia dies today, the gentry tribes will attack tomorrow, and the Taiping Army will lose its lords and fight on their own. In the end, they will only become several stocks, or even dozens of small warlords.

Although Xu Chu Dianwei and other generals had good personal relationships, their colleagues' robes were different from those of the monarch and ministers. It would be good for them to not fight themselves by themselves. Anyone who wants others to obey is delusional.

It was Liu Biao's contribution to the stability of Jingzhou, but it was extremely difficult for the world to find Liu Biao, one of the eight horses in the world and the second relative of the Han Dynasty.
