After several wars, King Nie Zefeng of Chu had occupied Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Huainan, Jingzhou, Silizhaowei and other areas, and naturally became the world's number one prince.

After Nie Zefeng occupied several states, he accepted the opinions of his adviser Xun Yu, opened up a broad range of ideas in the world, and attracted talents from all over the world.

In order to show his importance to talents, Nie Zefeng appointed Xun Yu as his master.

On this day, Nie Zefeng and Xun Yu discussed about talents in the hall of Yecheng.

Nie Zefeng replied to Xun Yu in the main hall: "Okay. Then join the army, now I will also talk to you about a public opinion, a conversation between the king and the minister, not the usual conversation between master and apprentice."

Xun Yu was stunned and quickly replied: "Oh? Then... I have listened to the order!"

Nie Zefeng quipped: "It is said that one day the emperor is the emperor, right?"

Xun Yu was stunned because Xun Yu did not expect Nie Zefeng to say this today.

Nie Zefeng smiled and continued to explain: "No matter how you say it is, it's a change of dynasty. Join the army?"

Xun Yu still doesn't understand.

Nie Zefeng continued to ask, "But now there is a 'Emperor', but where is the 'member'?"

Xun Yu asked in surprise: "I can't understand what the king means. The civil and military officials in the court are all the king's ministers!"

Nie Zefeng waved his hand and replied: "What I am talking about is a good general and capable minister who can truly do things. Where are you? If I want to do things, I cannot be without people!"

Xun Yu understood and a smile appeared on his face.

Xun Yu praised: "The king has matured much overnight!"

Xun Yu took out a few silk silk from his arms and joked, "No, I'm just worried about this. Let's take a look. This is the list of guaranteed memorials from officials in Jingzhou; this is the list of guaranteed memorials sent by surrendered generals in Jizhou; this is the list of guaranteed memorials sent by Huainan area; this is... there are only a few vacancies in total, so I don't know how to send all parties?"

Nie Zefeng flipped it casually and said dissatisfiedly: "It's all from other people. Join the army. Where are the kings people?" Xun Yu was a little puzzled, and looked up at the King of Chu and asked tentatively: "The king means—"

Nie Zefeng clearly expressed his thoughts: "I want to respect the virtuous, but only talent is to promote it! Join the army, do you think it is possible?"

Xun Yu thought about it, and then asked, "The King really has such a determination?"

Nie Zefeng gently put the Jian in his hand on the table and replied: "I have never lacked determination, but just lacked solutions!"

Xun Yu gritted his teeth and replied, "There is a solution."

Nie Zefeng hurriedly asked, "What's the solution?"

Xun Yu finally said slowly: "You can learn the methods of Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty!"

Nie Zefeng asked in surprise: "Great Master?"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "Yes, learn from Emperor Gaozu and decree virtuous! There are virtuous and virtuous! There are examples, even if some people are unhappy, they cannot tell others about it!"

Nie Zefeng asked: "Is the edict of virtuous people? Can I get the edict?"

Xun Yu's eyes suddenly shone, and he replied confidently: "There are many talented people among the people, and there must be fragrant grass in three steps!"

Nie Zefeng nodded and said, "That's good. Joining the army immediately drafted an edict for me, and enthrone the wise and upright people in the world who speak in a very good manner. I want to employ people!"

The towering Han Dynasty palace complex.

A group of swallows flew past the palace and flew over the building complex.

That was in this year, in 2 AD, the 2-year-old Nie Zefeng issued an edict to the world, and to select virtuous and upright people who speak out loudly and advise. The people were shocked by this. The poor intellectuals rushed to Yecheng to participate in the exam. The edict also stimulated the hereditary aristocratic class."

And this time, the public recruitment of a great man from an era is Zhuge Liang.

A Confucian scholar burst into the room excitedly.

Zhuge Liang, wearing a square scarf and big sleeves, was reading a book in the study while picking his feet.

"Mr. Zhuge, Mr. Zhuge!"

Confucian scholars rushed in happily.

Zhuge Liang asked in confusion: "What's wrong, what's wrong..."

The Confucian scholar smiled and said, "Sir, I have to treat you!"

Zhuge Liang scolded: "I want to eat for free? Say! What's the matter? I have to see if it's worth it?"

The Confucian scholar said in surprise: "The King of Chu issued an edict, and the virtuous people in the world..."

Zhuge Liang shouted impatiently: "Go away, you kid is already the fourth one to report the news. His imperial edict from King Chu has nothing to do with me!"

The Confucian scholar explained: "I am looking at the opportunity here. If sir, the King of Chu will definitely choose you!"

Zhuge Liang threw the book and said dissatisfiedly: "The King of Chu chose me? Let me tell you, it was not the King of Chu who chose me, it was me who chose King of Chu! What can I say to such a twenty-five-year-old doll? "

The Confucian scholar replied in surprise: "The King of Chu is different. Three axes are really showing their ambitions! Moreover, they won all parts of the Central Plains, Jingzhou, Huainan and other regions in just a few years."

Zhuge Liang said even more impatiently: "Don't let it be, don't let it be indifferent!"

The Confucian scholar continued kindly and persuaded: "Really, the King of Chu is really different. Just say that the people he used: Xun Yu, Ma Liang, Jia Xu... are all our Confucian school! And..."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Oh? It's interesting. I haven't dealt with these people."

The Confucian scholar praised: "But in terms of knowledge, how can these people be compared with the teacher? None of them can be reached!"

Zhuge Liang picked up the book in his hand again and said with interest: "If the King of Chu comes to me, I really have something to say to him!"

The Confucian scholar said in surprise: "My God, are you waiting for the King of Chu to find you?"

Zhuge Liang stared at me and said, "What? It's not worth it? I'll ask you, does the King of Chu want to unify the world, and wants to stay firm in the world? If you want, come to me! If you don't want to, I don't have to pay that god!"

Zhuge Liang held up the book again, straightened his feet, waved his hand and said, "Go, go, I can't figure it out, why are you more excited than me! As for?"

And similarly, in Pang Tong's house.

The family held a bowl of soup and tiptoed into Pang Tong's study.

Pang Tong was about to get along with each other and shouted: "Don't bother me! I'm writing a book for the King of Chu!"

The family members who had just entered the house were frightened and wanted to leave.

Pang Tong hurriedly shouted, "Don't leave, where is my book--"

The family asked in panic: "Which book?"

Pang Tong shouted: "Just that book--"

He said, searching around the cabinet.

The family hurriedly put down the bowl and came over to help find it.

As he looked, he asked, "Which book is it?"

Pang Tong said nervously: "Just that book... you don't know..."

The family also asked impatiently: "Which book, which one is it?"

Pang Tong finally found it, immediately got a few cases, and chased it with his hands and said, "Let's go! Go quickly! What a big deal, you say... Go quickly! Take it to the door!"

Outside Pang Tong's house

The family members who brought them to the house shook their heads and sighed: "Crazy! Crazy! They were all crazy by the edict of the King of Chu!"

Of course, it is not only these scholars who are lively, but also those government officials from all over the country, Yecheng.

In Yecheng City, Nie Zefeng Special City Bus Office receives doctors, gentlemen, and scholars from all over the country.

In front of the bus station.

Some were riding horses, some were riding donkeys, some were riding in cars, and some were walking with their own luggage and rations. The door was full of virtuous people coming from all over the world.

The Public Vehicle Department has rooms and reception officials.

Various notices were posted on the walls inside the office.

People who are familiar with each other are greeting each other.

"Yo, Mr. Pang Tong!"

"Oh, brother Kong Rong!"

Kong Rong was saluting Pang Tong.

Kong Rong wanted to help Pang Tong get his luggage.

Pang Tong hurriedly persuaded: "No, don't, don't, I'm messing around! I'm messing around!"

Kong Rong praised: "Where did Mr. Pang Tong bring a lot of books with him?"

Pang Tong replied in embarrassmently: "Classics and classics are all the classics of saints. Keep them for exams, keep them for exams!" Kong Rong saw a few acquaintances again and greeted him: "Haha, Mr. Gongsun!"

Gongsun Yan hurriedly bowed and said, "Brother Kong Rong. Well, this is Ma Jun, a member of Wei!"

Kong Rong sighed, "He is so talented, all the wise men will be successful!"

Gongsun Yan looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see Zhuge Liang? Jingzhou Nanjun recommended him!"

Kong Rong hurriedly said, "Brother, I heard that Mr. Zhuge is reserved and said that the King of Chu invited him, so he came!"

Gongsun Yan smiled: "I have this capital!"

A burst of laughter.

Ma Liangyou, wearing casual clothes, walked by and listened carefully.
