Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter Eleven Undercurrent

It has been done before to select talents through assessments, but it is the first time in history that it has been so loud like this time. This made the scholars who came to participate in the assessments both curious and eager to try.

After all, most of the people who will come here are young people or concubines who feel capable but are rejected by the family. They are either newborn calves, or they are confident. That's right, if you can get good grades, even if you don't become an official here, you can still be famous in the world!

Some people come here for the sake of fame, if they can gain fame through this, and then sternly reject Lu Bu's solicitation, if the word spreads, they will become famous all over the world immediately, and there will be no way out.

Of course, besides these, there is another type of people whose purpose of coming here is not so pure.

In the early morning, after autumn, the air is already a little cool, and when you come out of the warm bed suddenly, the feeling of losing warmth instantly makes you want to go back to the bed and continue to sleep with your wife's warm body in your arms Going on, it takes a lot of perseverance to get out.

Lu Bu is undoubtedly a man of great perseverance, successfully resisting the urge to go back again, after all, today is the big day he has planned for a long time, and everything has to be sidelined.

"It's still early, and your husband is so anxious?" Yan got up with sleepy eyes, letting the silk quilt slide down her skin, and the room was filled with spring light for a while.

"I've been preparing for today for a long time. Madam doesn't need to get up. Just tidy up for my husband." Lu Bu pushed her back under the quilt, pulled the silk quilt up, and put on her clothes on his own: "If there is nothing important to do today. , don’t go out.”

Yan, who was originally sleepy, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the words, looked at Lu Bu worriedly, and said, "Husband, could something happen today?"

"It's all under control, madam, don't worry!" Lu Bu helped her put on the quilt again: "The weather is starting to turn cold, so don't catch a cold."

"Be careful, husband, the concubine at home will take good care of her, don't think about her family!" Although Yan was worried, after all these years, she had gotten used to the environment around Lu Bu and couldn't bear Lu Bu's worries about family affairs.

"En." Lu Bu rubbed her hair, didn't say anything more, got up, put on his clothes, and went straight out the door.

"My lord, the two generals Hua Xiong and Xu Rong have arrived." When they came out the door, they saw the butler was already waiting outside the courtyard. When they saw Lu Bu, they rushed up to meet him and said with a bow.

"En." Lu Bu nodded, and went straight to the front hall, seeing Xu Rong and Hua Xiong already waiting in the hall, seeing Lu Bu, he quickly stood up to greet him.

"There's no need to be so polite!" Lu Bu waved his hand, signaling the two to sit down, and then asked, "Bo Sheng, how's the investigation going?"

"Over the past few days, there have been nearly ten thousand family guards following scholars from all walks of life into the city, and many of them have swords!" Xu Rong said in a deep voice.

Although it is impossible for everyone to be an assassin, so many people are indeed a great hidden danger.

In order to reassure the talents of all parties, Lu Bu could not act first, but could only monitor secretly, which put great pressure on the security work of Chang'an City.

"Besides, there are also many unknown people who have come here during this period of time in the Xiaoyan area. The general has already asked Hou Cheng and Wei Xu to secretly lead troops to station in dangerous places. As long as there is an order from here, the It can block the road." Hua Xiong clasped his fists and said.

"This matter is not urgent. If it really blocks the back road, it will inevitably cause even greater chaos. This time, there is no room for mistakes in the assessment of the Taiyuan Academy, let alone the slightest damage to the scholars. Today's defenses will be arranged in two parts, Gong Wei .”

"The last general is here!" Hua Xiong stepped forward and bowed.

"You are in charge of patrolling the city day by day, and your troop strength will be doubled on the current basis!" Lu Bu said, taking out two general orders that he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket, and handing one to Hua Xiong.

Today, the number of patrols in Chang'an City is twice the normal number, and now if it is doubled, it will be four times the normal number, which is almost the same as in wartime.

"Here!" Hua Xiong took the general order with both hands, and then saluted Lu Bu.

"Bosheng." Lu Bu handed another order to Xu Rong and said, "According to circumstances!"

For Xu Rong, Lu Bu didn't need to give more instructions, Xu Rong would make corresponding changes according to the changing situation, and he believed that Xu Rong would appear where he needed it most.

"Here!" Xu Rong took the order with both hands and bowed.

"Let's go!"

Without unnecessary nonsense, after Lu Bu handed over the general order, he got up and went out with the two of them. Dian Wei was already waiting outside the door with his personal guards.

As for the family, Lu Bu has already transferred Zhang Xiu, and at the same time there are two hundred soldiers with rich combat experience. Unless all the soldiers in Chang'an City collectively rebel, these soldiers will be able to block any attack until the nearest reinforcements arrive.

The streets of Chang'an are still bustling, but under this bustling, people can clearly feel a sense of depression. This depression is not only because there are many more guards on the street today than in the past, but also comes from the crowds.

The vigilant people retreated silently, hiding in their homes or other places. The atmosphere on the street reminded people of a massacre not long ago. At that time, most of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City were slaughtered, although it had nothing to do with the people. , but a fire at the city gate caused the fish in the pond, and no one wanted to be the fish in the pond that was affected.

However, what surprised Lu Bu was that the assassination he imagined did not occur along the way. This is not a good thing. A sense of crisis and countless malicious eyes.

The fact that they didn't do anything can only show that they have a unified dispatch, suppressing the assassination impulse of the scattered assassins.

Among these scholars who came to Beijing, there is actually someone controlling them behind the scenes? Who will it be?

If it is a prince, this method is a bit low-handed!

When Lü Bu entered the Imperial Academy, Xun You had already been waiting here, as did Cai Yong and other famous Confucian scholars. When they saw Lv Bu, they got up one after another.

"You are all highly educated people, so don't talk about the etiquette in the court. You who have been tired for a long time have suffered here, and it is Bu's crime!" Lu Bu nodded to Cai Yong, then clasped his fists together and said.

"Marquis Wen is serious. This matter is related to the imperial court and society. Besides, in this Tai Academy, it is not considered a grievance." One person smiled.

Although they are banned in this academy, the conditions are pretty good, the food and drink are the best, and there are maids to serve them, and if some talents can be selected in this assessment, it will be good for their reputation, even if Cai Yong doesn't need it Such fame is embellished, but others are needed.

After a few simple greetings, Lu Bu turned around. Scholars from all parties had entered the arena and waited as early as yesterday. It was organized by family wealth.

At this moment, 516 scholars participating in the assessment have gathered in the center under the leadership of the people present.

Lu Bu looked at Xun You and motioned him to read the rules.

"Today's assessment mainly focuses on four items of poetry, strategy theory, art of war, and mathematics. It is divided into four exam questions. You can choose the exam papers according to the exam questions you are good at. This time, the imperial court will select talents only. If you have enough skills, you can be hired by the imperial court, now please start choosing the topic!"

As Xun You's voice fell, a cart of bamboo slips was pushed over, each set of four volumes, divided into poems, policy theory, art of war, and mathematics.

The first one to go forward to choose was Yang Xiu, his eyes swept over the titles of the four volumes, he smiled confidently, and took away a group directly.

Seeing this, the scholars behind Yang Xiu hesitated for a while and took a group away.

"My lord, are these people so confident that they can answer all four volumes?" Dian Wei asked in a low voice while watching this scene.

"Of course not, but if you can answer more, the chances will naturally be higher." Lu Bu shook his head. He probably understood the mentality of these people. These four topics represented four directions. In addition to those who are willing to work hard, they can do everything. Others are selected as a whole group, probably with a bit of luck.

When it was Guo Jia's turn, he saw that Guo Jia picked a volume of policy theory from it and left. This is a completely different style from Yang Xiu's.

As time went by, more than five hundred people received their own questionnaires one after another, and only the answer sheets were left!

Xun You said in a deep voice: "The time limit for this assessment is three days. After three days, the test papers will be handed in, but those who do not hand in will be regarded as failures!"

Following his order, five hundred scholars entered the examination area in an orderly manner, and their every move was monitored by their own soldiers.

"Close the door!" Lu Bu looked outside the Tai Academy and shouted in a deep voice.

"Boom~"

With the closing of the heavy gate of Taiyuan College, the whole world seems to be isolated. Some candidates have already started to choose suitable topics for themselves, and some people are constantly flipping through the topics. They hesitate for a while, not knowing what to do. Where to start?

On Lu Bu's side, someone set a table for everyone, and Lu Bu specially brought new tea for everyone to taste.

"It has long been heard that the cooks in the Marquis Wen's mansion have improved the method of tea soup. In this way, the extremely bitter tea soup really has a special taste!"

Lu Bu nodded to thank the other party for his praise, Cai Yong who was beside him suddenly asked in a low voice: "Feng Xian, is there any difference in Chang'an these few days?"

"Even brother Bojie was alarmed?" Lu Bu looked at Cai Yong in surprise.

"What Fengxian did was very dangerous. This assessment is a major event set by the imperial court, and it has exposed the roots of many people. Even if I have never heard of it, I can probably guess it." Cai Yong shook his head. , He could see this, but he didn't know how to express it.

Lu Bu nodded. He was looking for an opportunity to kill with one blow. The opponent should be waiting for this opportunity. Since there was no problem before entering the arena, it would naturally appear when he left the arena.

"Wanwang be careful." Cai Yong recalled Guo Jia's words last night, but swallowed what he said, before things happened, everything he said was futile.

The next assessment is the key point. Lu Bu is looking forward to whether there are talents like Guo Jia and Fazheng here? If there is, then this assessment can be said to be a blessing for the world, a blessing for the court, and of course it is also the greatest blessing for Lu Bu.
