Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Half of Lv Bu's ten-year plan has passed, and the second imperial examination has also begun to enter the preparation stage. This time, more candidates gathered in Guanzhong. Compared with the last time, the scope of the scientific examination this time is larger, and the court side Some supplements have also been made for possible fraud.

In addition, besides Chang'an Academy, Chengdu Academy, Luoyang Academy, Nanyang Academy and other academies also began to have students trying to take the scientific examination.

Except for Chang'an Academy, the other three academies are relatively weak, but it doesn't matter, the next session should be able to produce some good seedlings.

Compared with the last scientific examination, this time the scientific examination requirements are more stringent. Last time, you can become an official if you can score one point, but this time, you need to score at least five points in the initial test, which means at least one Top-notch ability or several directions overnight, so as to meet the requirements.

One is because there are too many people. With the increase in the population of Guanzhong and its growing prosperity, the requirements for the ability of officials are also increasing.

The second imperial examination is coming soon, but Lu Bu is not in a good mood, and Cai Yong falls ill.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things, but seeing friends in reality begin to pass away, Lu Bu still felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

"The old man's time has come, Feng Xian don't want to do this." Cai Yong patted Lu Bu's hand, he saw it quite clearly, human, it is inevitable to die, he is over seventy years old, at this age, it can be considered Enough is enough.

"If you can study medicine earlier, it may prolong your life." Lu Bu sighed.

"Weird!" Cai Yong glanced at him speechlessly when he heard the words. If other people said this, he would probably scoff. A person who understands and understands as soon as he understands it, the knowledge is the same, and the medical skills are the same. I really don't know what he can't learn.

"People are bound to die, and this old man's life is considered a bit of a bad name, but if I really feel that this life is worthwhile, there are only two things, one is to be able to finish writing Han books, and the other is Being the headmaster of Chang'an Academy, watching each of his disciples grow into talents, makes me feel that this life is to leave something for future generations after all." Cai Yong said with some regret.

In his life, in terms of fame, it is no worse than the fourth generation and third tolerance. He also served as an official and assisted the emperor, and experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom, but looking back on his life, the thing that really makes him proud may be that he was invited by Lu Bu to be the master of Chang'an Academy after that.

Although the reputation may not be very good, after all, in the hearts of many people, Lu Bu is heinous, but he has really done a lot of things he wanted to do. Now that the Han Shu has been completed, his daughter has a good home, and the academy has also entered On the right track, he has no regrets in his life, but unfortunately...may not see the grand occasion of the second imperial examination.

As long as the second imperial examination is successful, the style of the imperial examination will basically be settled.

"In the history books, there must be a place for Mr. Bo Jie!" Lu Bu laughed, Cai Yong may not be able to achieve much if he is an official, but his education is definitely the best in the world. Lu Bu has never met Zheng Xuan, and he does not know how capable he is. , but Cai Yong's achievements in education and learning are worthy of his reputation.

"Zhao Ji!" Cai Yong shook his head and called out to Cai Yan.

"My child is here." Cai Yan came to the two of them and bowed to Lu Bu and his father.

Cai Yong grabbed Lu Bu's hand and said: "The so-called honoring the virtuous and not avoiding relatives, Zhaoji's knowledge is known to Fengxian. After I leave, the only thing I am worried about is whether there is anyone who can run this academy well. Fengxian, you Knowing people well, even though Zhao Ji is a woman, if it comes to learning, can she take on the responsibility of being the head of the Academy?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Bu said: "The third imperial examination will be held in Luoyang. Luoyang Academy has been built for a long time, but the past masters of Luoyang Academy are all mediocre. If Zhaoji is willing, she can go to Luoyang Academy as the master."

What Cai Yong said is correct, Cai Yan's ability in educating people is indeed not inferior to Cai Yong's. Teaching in this academy is naturally not as strict as being an official or joining the army. Besides, Cai Yan is also a doctor, so his talent is outstanding She also has a wealth of teaching experience. She has been in Chang'an Academy for many years and has management skills. It is enough for her to be the head of a school.

However, Chang'an Academy is not good. People cannot think that this Chang'an Academy is family-owned. Family-style colleges can exist, but not now. With the prosperity of the economy in the entire Jingzhao area, there are already a large number of families willing to send their children. At least for now, Chang'an Academy has a great influence, and people should not give people the illusion that it is a private academy.

"That's good." Hearing Lu Bu's promise, Cai Yong said with a smile, it doesn't matter where he is, what is important is that he doesn't want his daughter's talent to be buried just because of marriage.

"Thank you Taiwei." Cai Yan also saluted Lu Bu.

"One more thing..." Cai Yong looked at Cai Yan, Cai Yan understood and bowed to leave.

"Let's talk." Lu Bu probably knew what was going on, and sat silently beside Cai Yong.

"This old man has been a Hanchen all his life, thank you Fengxian for not letting me do... rebellious things." Cai Yong smiled wryly.

"I'm Hanchen too." Lu Bu sighed.

Cai Yong shook his head: "It's different. Everything in this world has its own number of days. Isn't it the same with Yao and Shun in the past? In fact, the change of kingship doesn't need to be so tyrannical."

Lv Bu nodded, somewhat disapproving in his heart, was the alternation of power between Yao and Shun really without violence? That era is too far away from now to be tested, but based on Lu Bu's understanding of human nature, it is almost impossible, unless, as it is now, the former has no ability to turn the tables and is forced to voluntarily.

"Don't worry, I won't harm Your Majesty." Lu Bu looked at Cai Yong and smiled.

"In this way, the old man can leave with peace of mind." Cai Yong said with a smile.

Lu Bu was about to say a few words of relief, when he suddenly felt something, when he looked back, Cai Yong had already closed his eyes, and the hand holding Lu Bu was unable to drop.

Startled slightly, then sighed, put Cai Yong's hand away, got up and walked out the door, looked at Guo Jia and Cai Yan waiting outside, and shook his head silently.

Perhaps Liu Xie is the deepest concern in Cai Yong's heart.

Cai Yan's sobs could be heard in the room, Guo Jia followed Lu Bu, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher seems to be free and easy, but in fact, there is a thorn in my heart all these years, and now that he is gone, the thorn is naturally gone. .”

Lu Bu turned his head and glanced at Guo Jia: "What is Feng Xiao talking about?"

Guo Jia looked at Lu Bu seriously and said, "My lord, when it's time to leave some things, just go with the trend. If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed. If you follow the trend, it will stabilize the position of the lord!"

"However, God has not given it to me." Lu Bu smiled and shook his head.

"Perhaps." Guo Jia also laughed, and didn't say much, both sides understood what the other was talking about, and if there were some words, they could just click on them, but Cai Yong just left, and Guo Jia, as a disciple and son-in-law, directly said this It's not good to smile like that, so he quickly put down his expression and gradually brewed a sad mood. When he sent Lu Bu to the door, his eyes were already red, and Cai Yong had no children. Naturally, his son-in-law should take care of the affairs behind him.

Cai Yong's death is a major event. As the only great Confucianist in the present age, Cai Yong's death can be said to be the end of an era. Liu Xie personally issued an edict ordering the princes of the world to die for Cai Yong. It is one thing to listen to it or not, but This edict is acceptable.

In Guanzhong, governors and prefects of various prefectures and counties also dressed in plain to see Cai Yong off.

As for whether Cai Yong is worthy of this standard, no one can say for sure, but Cao Cao and Yuan Shao accepted the imperial edict, and after hearing the news, they spontaneously put on plain clothes and went west to bid farewell to Cai Yong.

Cao Cao once studied under Cai Yong's family for a period of time, and he admired Cai Yong quite a lot, and he always regarded himself as a disciple. Now that Cai Yong is driving west, even if there is no imperial edict, Cao Cao will see him off.

As for Yuan Shao, although it was not intentional to force Zheng Xuan to death in the early years, Yuan Shao has always been criticized for this point. Now that Cai Yong is dead, Yuan Shao also hopes to erase some adverse effects through this point.

The three major princes and the imperial court all did this. Although Sun Quan and Liu Biao had nothing to do with Cai Yong, they spontaneously wore plain clothes and established spiritual positions for Cai Yong.

"Bang bang bang~"

Juancheng, Caofu, three sharp arrows pierced through the air, and the arrow targets sixty steps away were hit one after another.

Cao Cao looked at the Liannu in his hand, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad."

"My lord, this continuous crossbow is copied from the sporadic crossbows left by the Guanzhong Army. The mechanism is quite delicate. It is difficult to assemble a large number of them. Moreover, the arrows of this thing need to be specially made. I will try it next time. To replace it with ordinary arrows, the body of the crossbow needs to be modified, and after the modification, it will be difficult to achieve this range." A craftsman explained to Cao Cao the advantages and disadvantages of the crossbow and the principle of closing the crossbow.

It has been half a month since Cai Yong wore mourning. Cao Cao is now more concerned about whether Lu Bu will take this opportunity to ascend the throne. After all, Cai Yong is the only Hanchen in Guanzhong who has influence on Lu Bu. Now Cai Yong's death is the best for Lu Bu. Time to usurp the throne.

However, if Lu Bu really usurped the throne, then it would be the second time that the heroes challenged Lu, and this time it was actually him and Yuan Shao who joined forces to challenge Lu Bu.

Cao Cao had already thought clearly that neither Jingzhou nor Jiangdong could be counted on. He and Yuan Shao joined forces to attack. With the strength of the two of them and the Liannu that he had cracked now, he believed that it would be no problem to break into Guanzhong.

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction, as long as it can be made, he looked at the craftsman and said, "What materials do you want, just ask, and make as many as possible."

"My lord still doesn't understand? The real problem is not the crossbow." The craftsman smiled wryly.

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Cao was puzzled.

The craftsman smiled wryly and said, "This kind of crossbow is very easy to string, but it is extremely fast to shoot. It only takes a hundred people, each holding this crossbow can cause thousands of people to shoot arrows."

"That's right." Cao Cao nodded, that's what he wanted.

"However, the consumption of arrows is also very astonishing. In the past, with bows and arrows, one person could not use ten arrows in a war. But now with this thing, if there is no restriction, one person can shoot a hundred arrows. But this cluster of arrows It needs to be specially crafted." The craftsman smiled wryly.

"That is to say, bows and crossbows are easy to make, but there are not enough arrows?" Cao Cao suddenly remembered that when he attacked Nanyang, Ma Chao used this thing to pick and search. He didn't use it in every battle, and later he didn't use it. , It is estimated that it is gone.

"Exactly!" Seeing that Cao Cao finally understood, the master craftsman heaved a sigh of relief.

"I see." Cao Cao nodded, and said in a deep thought: "At least ten thousand sets of crossbows are needed. As for the arrow clusters, all craftsmen will be called in to make as many as they can."

If Lu Bu usurps the throne, it should be some time after the imperial examination, so don't worry.

"Here!"
