Although Ye Zhao did not promote the scientific examination with great fanfare, the method of selecting officials through assessment and selection of officials is undoubtedly subversive for the great man who is still in the recommendation system.

The scientific examination is not yet qualified, and printing technology has only been more than four years. Moreover, most people are busy with their livelihoods and have no time to spend their energy to study. Even if books are no longer exclusive to the aristocratic families, the price is still very expensive for ordinary people. If you have to support a scholar at home, you may not be able to provide it without a certain family background. Ye Zhao is not able to promote education in a large way, so the talents will not be able to keep up.

Therefore, Ye Zhao reduced the scale of the selection to only be in Chengdu Academy. As for the school students in other counties, they only have the opportunity to enter the officialdom after studying hard and passing the assessment.

However, even so, this innovation is undoubtedly exciting news for poor families or ordinary students studying in various schools.

Guan Ping returned home excitedly and said hello to Guan Yu, and then began to take out his books in different categories for review. It has been more than a year since he arrived in Chengdu. Guan Ping felt that he had made great progress. Although he was not as good as Zhang Ren, he was not weaker than other students in the art of war because of Guan Yu's teachings and his experience in the army while in Youzhou.

Tomorrow's assessment is not limited to civil servants, but also a group of new grassroots generals need to be recruited in the army, such as the garrison, the military marquis, and the military Sima. Guan Ping is preparing to participate in the assessment. He estimated his level of military strategy. Even if he could not directly become the military Sima, there should be no problem in taking the military marquis.

Over the past year, Guan Yu had a comfortable life in Shu, and there was no need to be in a dilemma between Gongsun Zan and his elder brother Liu Bei. Ye Zhao treated him well, not to mention a small banquet every three days or a big banquet every five days. However, in the Cavalry Mansion, Guan Yu would be invited to the family during the holidays. Moreover, after Ye Zhao knew that Guan Yu's original wife had died, over the past year, he enthusiastically introduced many women to Guan Yu, or daughters of famous families in Shu, and relatives of some academic disciples.

But Guan Yu felt that if he got married here, he would probably be difficult to leave for the rest of his life, so he refused several times, but Ye Zhao and his two wives were happy. They felt that they were interested and that they were about the same age, so they would introduce Guan Yu, but they would not force it, and they all depended on their own voluntary.

In addition, in Chengdu Academy, Guan Yu was also given a position as an honorary military teaching position, so that Guan Yu could have a decent income without making him feel that he had become Ye Zhao's subordinate. He did not have to go to the academy to give lectures every day like other teachers, and he had a high degree of freedom.

Guan Yu bought the house in Chengdu by Guan Yu himself. The income from the academy teaching is quite high, and it is enough for the family to have food and clothing. What makes Guan Yu most pleased is that Guan Ping has really grown a lot over the past year.

Whether it is knowledge, martial arts or military tactics.

Guan Ping has sufficient practice in leading troops. Now he is taught by various generals under Ye Zhao in the academy. It is verified by his past experience and is naturally easier to absorb. Among the students in Chengdu Academy, if you only talk about leading troops, Guan Ping is definitely the best. Even Zhang Ren, who is highly valued by Ye Zhao, and Guan Ping are also at the level of playing against each other. However, Zhang Ren is relatively comprehensive, not only has good military skills, but also has made outstanding achievements in law and mean, so he has stabilized Guan Ping.

"Ping'er?" Guan Yu hadn't gone to the academy these days, and didn't know what happened. Seeing Guan Ping's expression was excited, he took Zhou Cang to Guan Ping's study with curiosity, but saw Guan Ping reviewing military arts.

It is a good thing for his son to be studious, but Guan Ping did not have the habit of studying books after returning home like this, which made Guan Yu a little curious and couldn't help but call out.

"Father." Seeing that it was Guan Yu, Guan Ping quickly stood up and bowed.

"What's going on in my son these days..." Guan Yu looked at the books on the table and smiled, "Why are you working harder than before?"

"The academy will conduct an assessment tomorrow. Those with excellent grades can join the army as generals, and the highest can be obtained as a military Sima, and the lowest is also a general. The child will study hard for a long time and want to go out and stretch out his hands tomorrow." Guan Ping smiled.

"You want to become an official?" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows and frowned.

Usually when Guan Yu makes this expression, it means Guan Yu is angry. Guan Ping has somehow bowed and said, "I think that Ye Hou is a few wise ruler in the world. Since Ye Hou entered Sichuan, the people have praised him. If he can serve under Ye Hou's command, he will definitely show his strengths."

"No!" Guan Yu groaned.

"Why!?" Guan Ping raised his head and frowned at Guan Yu and said, "No need to say anything about Ye Hou's literary and military strategy. Didn't my father see the changes in Shu over the past year? Because of Ye Hou, the people in Shu have no suffering of hunger and cold. The people are rich in livelihood, all industries are prosperous, and they can be respectful to the wise and the nobles and treat others in harmony. Ye Hou once said in the academy that the greatest luck in a person's life is to find a place to play to his strengths. Ye Hou was also very polite to his father, why did his father reject Ye Hou so much?"

"Then let me ask you, if Ye Hou and your uncle fight to the battlefield in the future, who do you want to help?" Guan Yu asked in a deep voice.

"It's Yehou." Guan Ping said loudly: "Eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries. Besides, the child does not think that the uncle is qualified to compete with Yehou on the battlefield."

"Random!" Guan Yu was furious when he heard this, raised his hand and slapped Guan Ping on the face. He was angry and moved his strength unconsciously. Guan Ping was caught off guard and was slapped by Guan Yu. Half of his cheeks were swollen. His whole head was blinded for a while before he came to his senses and looked at Guan Yu incredibly.

Guan Yu slapped him with a slap, and felt a little regretful. The child was not around since childhood and suffered a lot. Now he finally reunited with his father and son, and he was extremely well-behaved on weekdays. Guan Yu had always been reluctant to give up his slap during training. Now he slapped him with a slap. Looking at Guan Ping's swollen cheek, he felt unbearable, but he was arrogant and even if he couldn't bear it, he wouldn't express it. He just groaned: "Your uncle is a hero of the world, how can you let you guess?"

"Young Master!" Zhou Cang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Guan Ping up, whispering: "Don't talk back to the lord."

"My father's words, please forgive me for not agreeing with them!" Guan Ping broke away from Zhou Cang's arm, looked at Guan Yu with his chest and his head raised, and said loudly: "My father said that my uncle is a hero. How dare I ask my uncle have done that benefit the people of the world?"

"I will fight against rebels, make meritorious contributions, govern the local area under Liu Youzhou, and make the local area safe." Guan Yu and his son were really hard to do anything else, so they could only say patiently.

"Ha, is this benefiting the people? In this way, many officials in the world can do it!" Guan Ping sneered. Because Guan Yu was separated in advance, Guan Ping did not have much contact with Liu Bei. After a few contacts, he had no good impressions, and naturally he had little feelings. When he commented at this moment, he also said: "I have never heard of the uncle who governed the Dai County and made the people rich. Instead, he participated in banquets all day long and rated the world with the powerful Youzhou. However, how many people died in the county in each era were hungry or cold? "

"As for killing the enemy and making achievements, I really don't want to compare my uncle with Ye Hou!" Guan Ping bowed. He felt that it was an insult to Ye Zhao. Liu Bei had very few achievements in his life.

Guan Yu's muscles twitched twice, and wanted to refute, but couldn't find a word. He could only say in a deep voice: "I won't do that thing about climbing the dragon and seizing the phoenix. I met your uncle in a tiny way. How could I betray it because of wealth?"

"Have you ever thought about this?" When Guan Ping mentioned this, he became even more angry: "Why was the father who was forced to leave, not the uncle? He was the same family as General Gongsun. When he was in a downturn, he had to help him today and have brothers with his father. Even if Liu Youzhou and General Gongsun were hostile, he would be like his father to stay away from the border and ignore the dispute between the two. But what did he do?"

In this regard, it is really impossible to blame Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei has ambitions and wants to climb up, and he is determined to return to the royal family. Liu Yu helped Liu Bei and made Liu Bei one of the royal family members. Now there is no need to say anything to others. The name of the Han clan relative was also corrected by Liu Yu. With such a great favor, how could Liu Bei stay out of the dispute between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, especially after Liu Yu was in a weak position?

Guan Yu frowned. The reason for this is hard to say.

Guan Ping said in a deep voice: "If you talk about kindness, Ye Hou had the kindness of his father as a wise man in the past. Now that he has arrived in Shu, Ye Hou has never asked his father to join him, but how about him? His father must know what he wants."

"The father values ​​brotherly loyalty, and the child dare not say anything more. However, the child feels that Ye Hou is indeed a wise ruler in the world and wants to join the army to serve Ye Hou. This is the child's choice. The father only values ​​brotherly friendship. Have you ever thought about Ye Hou's grace for the child's cultivation?" Guan Ping said in a little resentful: "What kind of kindness does the uncle have to me? If the child must be bound by his father, but he ignores the benefactor?"

Guan Yu's blushing face turned a little purple at this moment. Seeing this, Zhou Cang quickly stopped Guan Ping, who wanted to say something else, and said, "Major General, say a few less words!"

Seeing that Guan Yu looked ugly, Guan Ping felt unbearable, so he bowed and said, "The child is rude, but what he said today is from the heart. I hope my father will be kind to the child. No matter what, tomorrow's assessment will be conducted, the child will definitely go."

After saying that, he left straight away.

"General?" Zhou Cang looked at Guan Yu with some concern.

"Nothing happened." Guan Yu sighed, sat in Guan Ping's seat, looking at Zhou Cang with some annoyance and said, "Yuan Fu, do you think what Ping'er said is polite?"

"I dare not say much," Zhou Cang bowed.

"Tell me, why should you be so polite between you and me?" Guan Yu waved his hand.

"Go back to General." Zhou Cang smiled bitterly, "Mr. Ye has a life of life for me, but Duke Xuande has no friendship with me. You asked me to choose, so naturally I hope that the general can be loyal to Duke Ye. Moreover, although the major general said that it is radical, it is not unreasonable. The general has lived here for more than a year. Not to mention how Ye Duke Ye has governed, he is afraid that the general will not be inferior to Duke Xuande."

"You go down." Guan Yu waved his hand a little irritatedly. He needed to be alone to be quiet.

"I will leave at the end." Zhou Cang bowed and left the study room, helping Guan Yu close the door.

How should I make a choice?
