Mast flower, white petals.

In June in early summer, the morning dew in the early morning gently attached to the white flowers and dipped it in with your hands. A slight coolness touched the heart. After a set of movements that imitated the jumping of monkeys, Gao Chong took a long breath and calmed down his chest, which was a little gasping.

"Apes are famous for moving and jumping. If you follow the map, you should be able to move your muscles and bones and strengthen your body!" Hua Tuo's words of advice were still echoing in his ears. If you want to restore your previous physical strength, you can only take it slowly and be anxious.

Among the five animals of tiger, bear, ape, deer, bird, bird, the ape's agility and agility have always been the favorite of Gao Chong, because among the sentient beings in the world, the ape is the closest to humans.

A light and broken footsteps came, and Gao Chong looked at the sound, but saw Gu Yong, who was specifically responsible for advice, come quickly.

"Why is Yuan Tan coming today?" Gao Chong asked with a smile.

Gu Yong looked serious and bowed and said, "This is led by Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning and other 17 famous scholars today. Two hundred scholars submitted a letter of advice that requested the dismissal of Cui Yan to be dismissed. Please take a look at it." After that, Gu Yong took out a thick letter from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Chong.

While taking it, Gao Chong said in a strange way: "Why is it that demands the removal of Ji Gui? A few days ago, I heard from Zi Jing that Ji Gui founded the imperial examination and held state schools, county schools, and county schools and hardworking and meticulous, and was loved by students."

Gu Yong sighed: "It is because of this that Ji Gui has suffered this disaster!"

Gao Chong said in confusion: "Why did Yuan Tan say this?"

"The part that the coach saw was part of the many condemnations accumulated on my desk. For the past month, the scholars sent to the Consortium Hall every day have been endless. The most deserted place is now more lively than the street market." Gu Yong said with a stern face. He usually said a serious joke, so his face was also rigid, which made Gao Chong want to laugh but embarrassed to laugh.

Gao Chong opened the letter and looked at it one by one, but he saw that almost all the signed characters were famous. Needless to say, Zheng Xuan and Guan Ning, Liu Ba, Xu Jing, Xu Shao, Cheng Bing and others were all famous figures in Jiangdong and Jingnan. Then, the contents of the letter were all about impeachment of Cui Yan. There were more than 20 reasons for the removal listed in the letter, such as arbitrary act, nepotism, embezzlement and bribery, greed for women, etc., which are almost all-encompassing. Any law that officials may violate, according to the content of the letter, Cui Yan violated every item, and he was executed ten times of guilt.

"Well, among these seventeen famous scholars, there are Zheng Xuan and Guan Ning, and Yuan Tan, have all the things on the letter been verified?" Gao Chong said in surprise as he looked through the letter of advice.

"Report to the coach, I have ordered the supervisor to secretly investigate for more than a month, but I have not found any illegal acts of Ji Gui." Gu Yong replied.

"Then why do you have submitted these things? You don't have to pay attention to the pure false accusations. But according to Zheng Xuan and Guan Ning's character, how could you do the slandering others? What's more, Cui Yan was once a disciple of Zheng and Guan two?" Gao Chong said inexplicably.

Gu Yong said: "The sound of dismissal this time is not actually whether Cui Yan has violated the rules, but whether he is a famous person and their doubts about Cui Yan's character, Zheng Xuan and Guan Ning naturally would not say Cui Yan's fault in person, but their remarks are obviously unfavorable to Cui Yan. It is said that he can judge a general and a prime minister in one word, and he will be dismissed from office and lose his post in one word, and even lose his life. The disaster of the former family teacher is still in front of him. If the favored generals do not try to stop it, he may be more and more troublesome to the stability of Jiangdong, and ultimately endanger the stability of Jiangdong."

Gu Yong's mentor was a famous scholar Cai Yong, whose courtesy name was Boji, and was a native of Chenliu. He was a famous writer and calligrapher. He was knowledgeable and talented, well-versed in classics, history, astronomy, and music. He was still good at poetry and verses. During the reign of Emperor Ling, he was called as a doctor. He proofreader of the book in Dongguan and was promoted to the royal palace. Later, he was appreciated by Dong Zhuo and served as the Attorney Censor and the General of the Left Central Army. Unfortunately, after Situ Wang Yun took power, Cai Yong was regarded as a rebellious accomplice by a group of so-called noble scholars and celebrities, and was soon executed.

Cai Yong's death made Gu Yong feel the powerful power of public opinion for the first time. Now this public opinion trend has begun to turn to Jiangdong. As a counselor responsible for supervising public opinion, Gu Yong needs to promptly remind Gao Chong to pay attention.

Gu Yong talked about the history before the Yellow Turban turbulence. His voice was calm and calm, with almost no personal feelings. The Qing Dynasty's discussion was prosperous in the ninth year of Emperor Huan Yanxi. Li Ying, a famous scholar in Yingchuan, was the imperial court in Henan. He had always opposed the eunuchs, and actively impeached the traitors and captured Zhang Cheng, an eunuch who had a close relationship with the court. This caused the first party-black disaster. Li Ying was arrested and imprisoned for this, and was later released from the doctors the following year.

For this reason, Li Ying became a well-deserved role model in the minds of scholars all over the world, and everyone appreciated by him was hailed as climbing the Longmen.

When Emperor Ling ascended the throne, Dou Wu, the relative of the general at that time, was in charge of the government affairs. In order to compete with the increasingly powerful eunuch group in the court, Dou Wu summoned a large number of famous hermits and celebrities into the court as officials. Later, Dou Wu was unfortunately killed in the struggle of power. However, the Qing Dynasty forces headed by Li Ying and the attendant Chen Fan of Changle Shaofu and the eunuch group headed by Zhang Rang of the Central Secretariat were still incompatible. In the second party-black disaster, Li Ying and Chen Fan were arrested and imprisoned and killed.

After that, Dong Zhuo led his troops to Luoyang. A large number of famous scholars fled to the vassal of the princes who ruled various places to escape from war. Among them, Yecheng and Xiangyang were mostly in the two places. Yuan's four generations and three dukes, and the family was the leader of the Qing Dynasty's forces several times. General Liu Biao, the Zhennan General, opened a school in Xiangyang and paid a lot of money to hire famous scholars to teach, which also attracted many famous scholars and celebrities who fled from Sanfu.

In addition, after Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xudu, famous scholars such as Kong Rong, Wang Lie, Hua Xin, Wang Lang were summoned to serve as officials. In Xuzhou, Liaodong, Yuzhang and other places, there were also famous hermits like Zheng Xuan, Bing Yuan, Guan Ning, and Pang Degong who were famous for teaching disciples. Although these people looked uncontested, their disciples were actually spread all over the world and were working for various groups. Therefore, their words and deeds could to some extent control the public opinion of the whole world.

"The general is favored by Yong. He thought that the spearhead of the resignation of the counsel was clearly Ji Gui, but in fact it was vaguely pointing to the imperial examination system itself. If Cui Yan was dismissed, it would mean the death of the imperial examination." At the end, Gu Yong said his guess in shock.

Gao Chong slapped his face hard and said angrily: "From the results of the first trial in December last year, a large number of previously unknown talents were hired. Through the facts and achievements over the past six months, most of them are qualified. From this aspect, it can be seen that the imperial examination is more suitable for the situation and can better discover talents. Are these people who are eager to write letters of resignation turning a blind eye?"

Gu Yong replied: "Although the imperial examination has made progress compared to the old recommendations and recruitment, it has fundamentally touched the aristocratic class that relied on recommendations and recruitment systems to survive. Therefore, this time they protested in a crowd."

"These corrupt scholars are really hateful! They just want to slander others for their own selfishness. They have a little bit of the style of a famous scholar. What's even more hateful is Xu Jing. Xu Shao didn't know the importance of it, and they supported each other. What exactly did they want to do?" Gao Chong became more annoyed the more he thought about it, and he couldn't help but scold him loudly.

When a new thing appears, the pain accompanied by it is inevitable. Often, the resistance encountered is the greatest where it is implemented first.

The implementation of the imperial examination and the "Talent-only Examination" edict issued by Gao Chong not long ago greatly shake the original recommendation and the foundation of the recruitment system in Jiangdong. For the aristocratic class who has always been promoted by this system, the impact can be imagined.

When many young students realized that they could get official positions by taking scientific examinations instead of relying on recommendations, the role of private school teaching in promoting each other gradually became outdated. For Zheng Xuan and Guan Ning, the original seclusion was just a means of retreating to advance. Now, when this means were ruthlessly replaced by another new thing, resistance naturally followed.

Although the previous "only talent is to promote" edict changed the method of selecting talents to a certain extent, and the methods of recruiting talents between the princes, either openly or secretly, were also a variety of ways to expand their strength, they still could not regret the rampant official lords. The foundation of the ruling power and the powerful are just a supplement to the original system. On the contrary, the emergence of the imperial examination fundamentally overturned the system of recommendation and recruitment that has been used for thousands of years since the Spring and Autumn Period.

This change was still obvious after the war in Jiangdong was quelled. Under Gao Chong's instruction, Cui Yan established a complete teaching system for provincial, county and county schools in various places like a storm, and held the first imperial examination. When those poor and unrelated students became officials of the county and county, the effect of "climbing the dragon gate" appeared again, just like when the Qing Dynasty's discussion began to flourish.

Subsequently, private schools in many places in Jiangdong were suspended due to insufficient student sources. This result not only threatened the interests of famous scholars in Jiangdong, but also made famous scholars from other places connected to the branches feel a crisis. This is why they set off a wave of dismissal of Cui Yan.

"Peopley, should you summon Ji Gui back first to avoid the limelight?" Seeing Gao Chong pondering and silent, Gu Yong stepped forward and advised.

Gao Chong's eyes were flowing, and he said in a deep voice: "Hmph, Yuan Tan is too careful. I will not dismiss a good official like Ji Gui for those false words. These people have a little too bad eyesight. You go and call Ji Gui, I have something to tell him."

In the afternoon, Cui Yan, who was urging students to study, came to Gao Chong's mansion with a hint of anxiety. Obviously, Gu Yong had told him about the tide of dismissal.

Under the sunlight, Cui Yanxin's long body was reflected on the window ridge. The northerners' usual honesty was still obvious on him. Before Gao Chong could speak, he trembled with excitement and said loudly: "Chongshuai, Yan has heard the sound of dismissal, those false accusations--!"

"Ha, don't Ji Gui want to see what those people said with their own eyes?" Gao Chong, who had calmed down, sat behind the Jin Coffer and asked with a smile.

"Ho, I don't need to look at it. I think that since I took office as an advisor to study, I have been ashamed of asking myself about everything. If I don't believe it, I can order the Supervisor to verify it." Cui Yan said angrily.

"Well, but people's words are terrifying. Just now, Yuan Tan advised me to let Ji Gui go to the other county to avoid the limelight first." Gao Chong said.

"No need to say that the favorite coach is. Yan thought you were a hero who was not afraid of difficulties and was determined to be savvy, but he didn't want a few rumors to make you - Shu Yan's eyes are clumsy, so he said goodbye!" Cui Yan said angrily and strode out.

"Where is Ji Gui?"

"Since you have difficulty in favor of a handsome man, Yan should leave!" Cui Yan's face felt anger that was incomprehensible. He said as he raised his foot and stepped out of the door.

"Haha, Ji Gui heard from some other sentence that I intended to let you leave the position of encouraging students. Judging from your performance in the past, Ji Gui is the best candidate for encouraging students. If you leave, where can I find such a good talent?" Gao Chong stood up with a smile, and stopped Cui Yan and said.

"The Pamperor urgently summoned Yan to come this time, not for--!" Cui Yan was stunned for a moment and asked silently.

"How can those rumors confuse my eyes? This time I summon Ji Gui to discuss a countermeasure with you and punish those who spread rumors. In addition, the second test of July is about to arrive, Ji Gui must stay at his post with peace of mind!" Gao Chong said with a smile.

"People's words are serious?"

"Ji Gui thinks I'm a pedantic person?"

"With the support of the beloved coach, Yan will die. Although Zheng Xuan and Guan Ning are Yan's mentors, after being ordered to persuade them to study, Yan has put great things first in his heart and no longer has any distractions. From now on, the scientific examination will be where Yan cares about it." Cui Yan laughed, and the dark clouds on his face for many days were swept away.

Cui Yan has a straightforward and strong temperament. If he recognizes the Tao, he will run to the end. After he was accused of his studies, his relationship with Zheng Xuan and Guan Ning was almost broken. His classmates who studied together in the past also accused him. The depression of his mood can be imagined.

"Ha———————————I will make it a turbid current!” Gao Chong joined hands with Cui Yan, pointing to the pile of dismissal letters on the desk, saying, "This sentence is full of heroic and unrestrained. If others listen to it, they would probably advise Gao Chong not to act voluntarily. But at this time, Cui Yan sounded like a kind of friendship that was close to each other, as if a ship traveling in a dark night had finally found the lights to guide the road.

At the end of July of the fifth year of Jian'an, the second imperial examination was held as scheduled. Before that, Gao Chong disagreed with his opinions and deeds to show his attitude. Then the officials of each county and county also responded to the situation and resisted the turbidity. Xu Jing and Xu Shao made unidentified remarks, and Gao Chong was dismissed from the official position of Jijiu by Gao Chong. Other county officials who were in charge of the resignation were imprisoned according to the law and waited for punishment according to the crimes they committed.

For a time, all the so-called famous scholars in Jiangdong were in danger and fled with their homes. Most of their destinations were selected nearby, including General Liu Biao, Zhennan and Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi.

"I want to see who else will join him?" Almost every famous person who fled with this mentality. What they most hoped to see at this moment was Gao Chong's appearance in a cocoon.

"Without Butcher Zhang and Butcher Li, the talents in the world only regret that no one appreciates them. Who would give up the opportunity to become successful?" Gao Chong's attitude towards the escape of the famous scholars was scoundrel and funny. Although it was a bit rough, it was the voice of many children of common people who were oppressed at the bottom.

On August 2, Pang Tong, a disciple of the famous Xiangyang scholar Pang Degong, came to Jinling and immediately received Lu Su's introduction. After a discussion with Gao Chong, Pang Tong was extremely grandly received by Gao Chong and was entrusted with the important task of deputy military advisor.

In this regard, although many people have a slight remark about Pang Tong's appearance, Gao Chong did not care. Pang Tong chose the most suitable time to join him. At this time, Gao Chong was hoping to use Pang Tong's example to prove to the people of the world that their ideas were so wrong and ridiculous.
