Chapter 36 Selection and Virtuous Circle(2/2)
Of
After defeating the enemy again in the battle, the thieves were demoralized and retreated all the way. Tens of thousands of people died in the valley due to hunger and cold. During the reign of Emperor Dezong, soldiers from Youzhou returned and defeated Nanzhao and Tubo again. The thieves escaped after hearing the accent of Yan."
Wang Che was fascinated after hearing this. These Youzhou soldiers were so powerful that Lulong Jiedushi and his family might be able to destroy Nanzhao. However, he was born against the vassal vassal and did not always obey the orders of the Tang court.
"There are many people from Yan under Mr. Li's command now. He must have seen the bravery of Fan Yang's soldiers when he made such a selection." Wang Che said.
"I'm afraid Fan Yang's soldiers are not very successful now. They can't even defeat the Jin soldiers." Cui Guangbiao shook his head and said: "Actually, I would rather see Fan Yang's soldiers march to the west. It was rumored earlier that the saint would personally conquer the Western Regions.
, why is there no movement?"
"There is still war in the country, how can a saint leave the capital?" Wang Che sighed: "Compared with the Western Regions, Nanzhao is not exciting."
"Yes." Cui Guangbiao nodded, drank a bowl of wine, and said: "In the pre-Tang Dynasty, many people with outstanding talents were willing to go to Anxi to serve the shogunate and left many immortal poems. In fact, I also want to see saints
How happy it is to march westward and set up iron pillars to commemorate your achievements!"
"This year's exam questions will not be about the Western Regions, right?" Wang Che asked out of curiosity.
When everyone heard this, they laughed loudly and said it was impossible. However, they decided privately to work hard on this aspect after going back to be prepared.
"Speaking of which, if the imperial dynasty takes over the Western Regions, it will be a bit impressive." Cui Guangbiao finished his drink, his face flushed, and loudly said: "It's nothing to take down Nanzhao. Only by taking over the Western Regions can we have the ability to look down upon the tiger."
.”
"Then why don't you study hard? If you get admitted to Jinshi, you might have the opportunity to accompany the emperor." Chen Ti, who was silent for a long time, said: "Cui Chao, Cui Miao and others, the number one scholar in high school, can always accompany the emperor.
Where do you want to go?"
Having said this, he glanced at Cui Guangbiao with some sourness. Why is this number one scholar always named Cui?
"Tian Yuan is right." Cui Guangbiao said: "It has been more than ten years since the founding of Daxia. Now the world is at peace and the country is prosperous. Needless to say, this is another dynasty. I don't dare to think about it. If I can get lucky,
If you become a Jinshi, you will be able to honor your ancestors and comfort your ancestors."
Everyone nodded subconsciously.
In the beginning, the imperial examinations of the New Dynasty were not that attractive. Many people would rather live in seclusion than let their descendants take the exams. But as time went by, Daxia's foundation became more and more solid, and its territory became larger and larger.
, if nothing else happens, this will definitely be a great dynasty, so more and more people are willing to contribute to the new dynasty.
Their participation also further solidified the foundation of the court, gradually forming a virtuous cycle.
Don't underestimate this virtuous cycle, because it can subtly influence people's thoughts and concepts, and unknowingly change the social atmosphere bit by bit.
If a martial artist who likes to take risks sees people around him saying that this court looks good and will last for a long time, and I want to serve as an official, then when he wants to cause chaos, he will have an extra shackle in his heart. This does not mean that it is impossible to cause chaos.
But the resistance is greater than before, and this resistance still comes from social criticism and from his own heart.
Shao Shude once discussed this situation with the prime ministers, and he called it "exchanging time for space."
The conversations among scholars from various places in the tavern in Chang'an City confirmed the feasibility of this strategy.
