Chapter 73: Heroes Rise
In the pre-Qin period, a person who became a high official could posthumously confer a title on his deceased mother, and thousands of families could be settled next to his mother's grave, which was a great honor and a great filial piety!
Although Han Xin was poor when his mother died, he still chose an open place to bury his mother.
In the hope that he would become a high official in the future and be able to settle thousands of families next to his mother's grave.
Even if his mother passed away, he hoped that she could enjoy this honor!
After worshiping his mother, Han Xin stood up, holding his sword tightly, and walked towards his defeated home with his head held high.
…
Dang County, Changyi.
In a vast wilderness and lake.
"Brother Peng Yue, the first emperor has implemented the imperial examination order, and the first civil and military imperial examination will be held next spring! I think you can participate in the military imperial examination. With your ability, it will be no problem for you to pass the military imperial examination!"
"Brother Peng Yue, go and sign up quickly. When you pass the military imperial examination and become a general, the brothers will all follow you to eat official food, and don't go hungry anymore!"
"Brother Peng Yue..."
Many young men surrounded a sturdy man and chattered.
Peng Yue thought for a while and shook his head, "I'm just a fisherman, how dare I take part in the military imperial examination!"
"Brother Peng Yue, the imperial examination order of the First Emperor says that anyone who can read and wants to serve the country can sign up for the military imperial examination!"
"Moreover, the government also provides food, accommodation and carriages, and you don't have to spend a penny!"
"Yes, what's wrong with us fishermen? Fishermen are also human beings. Why can others have high positions and generous salaries, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, have three wives and four concubines, while we can only fish in this water and can't even eat enough!"
"Brother Peng Yue, this military imperial examination is a rare opportunity. If I had your ability, I would definitely participate!"
"..."
Finally, Peng Yue, instigated by a group of poor fishermen, signed up for the military imperial examination.
He originally thought that if he continued like this, he would work hard and still not have enough food, so he would take a group of his brothers to occupy the mountains and make a living by robbing and looting!
But Ying Zheng's imperial examination system made Peng Yue temporarily give up his plan to be a robber!
Let him choose to continue to be a good person!
…
In a simple house in Pei County, Sishui County.
A particularly fat and bearded man was cooking dog meat while sticking his big butt out and gesturing on the ground with a branch.
There was also a roll of bamboo slips in front of him.
“Fuck, I don’t believe I can’t write this small seal!”
“Write, write, write!”
The bearded man was named Fan Kuai, who made a living by slaughtering dogs and selling dog meat.
He was struggling with the small seal.
“It smells so good!”
At this time, a voice came from outside the door.
Creaky!
Then the door was opened, and an unkempt middle-aged man walked in from outside.
It was Liu Bang.
“Haha, Fan Kuai, what are you doing? Are you saying that you also want to take the military examination?” Liu Bang laughed when he saw Fan Kuai’s funny look with his butt sticking out.
"How can a dog butcher like me take the imperial examination for martial arts?"
Fan Kuai's old face turned red, and he quickly stretched out his palm-leaf hand to wipe off all the words on the ground that looked like ghostly talismans.
"A good man should have lofty ambitions. What's wrong with a dog butcher taking the imperial examination for martial arts? I think, as long as you know how to read, you may be able to pass the imperial examination for martial arts!"
Liu Bang walked up, smiled and patted Fan Kuai on the shoulder: "Hey, if you really want to learn to write small seals, I will teach you! But you have to give me enough dog meat!"
Liu Bang was most greedy for Fan Kuai's dog meat, but he had no money, so he often shamelessly ate dog meat.
Fan Kuai couldn't do anything about this buddy, Liu Bang stuck to him like a dog skin plaster.
How shameless!
"Okay, we have a deal!" Fan Kuai stood up and said bluntly.
He was indeed interested in the imperial examination for martial arts!
From then on, a butcher began to struggle!
…
Qin Shihuang's promotion of the imperial examination order did indeed make many grassroots heroes and civilian elites move and sign up for the imperial examination.
He opened a door for civilian elites to achieve class leap.
A rare opportunity!
…
In the northern border of the Qin Dynasty, on the boundless grassland, a figure was flying through the air.
"Mom, look, there is a flying birdman in the sky!"
A cute little girl with pigtails and black eyes, who looked about four or five years old, ran to her mother who was cooking with cow dung and said in a baby voice.
"Silly child, how can anyone fly in the sky! You must have seen it wrong, it must not be a person, it is a goshawk or an eagle!" The mother touched her daughter's head lovingly.
Although the Xiongnu was destroyed and annexed by the Qin Dynasty, the lives of ordinary Xiongnu people were better than under the rule of Tuoman Chanyu.
Because Qin Shihuang adopted a conciliatory policy towards the Xiongnu and reduced many taxes.
"Oh my god, it's true! If you don't believe me, look!"
The little girl pulled her mother outside the yurt to prove that she was right.
"Tengger, this... is this a god?!" The woman looked up and saw a figure walking in the sky.
The woman exclaimed and knelt down, kowtowed continuously.
She thought it was the god Tengri who appeared!
In her worldview, she could not think of any other existence that could walk in the air except Tengri!
"Mom..." The little girl wanted to say something.
The woman hurriedly pulled her to kneel down: "Child, don't talk, don't be disrespectful to Tengri!"
The figure was Chen Qilin.
He followed the route of the Xiongnu royal court's treasure in Maodun's memory and came here.
Although Chen Qilin read Maodun's information, it was still a bit difficult to find the treasure.
Because Maodun only heard his father talk about the approximate location of the treasure, and he himself had never been here.
"Ah, mother, the birdman is flying towards us!"
At this moment, Chen Qilin suddenly heard a childish voice. He looked down and found the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's been a long time since I heard such innocent and interesting childish words!
Although they spoke Xiongnu language, Chen Qilin could understand it. He had already learned Xiongnu language.
Chen Qilin flew towards them and asked the woman something.
When Chen Qilin landed in front of the woman, she was so scared that she trembled all over and cried:
"Respected God, please forgive my ignorant daughter, she didn't mean to offend you..."
Chen Qilin smiled and said in Xiongnu language:
"Don't be afraid, I am not Tengri, and I have no ill will towards you. Get up, I have something to ask you!"
"God, please forgive me..." The woman bowed her head and continued to kowtow.
Chen Qilin could only wave his hand, with a gentle force, to lift the woman and the little girl up...
It took a while for the woman to return to normal.
Chen Qilin asked: "Do you have a small hill with a small swamp on the side?"
The woman thought for a while and said: "Yes, about 150 miles to the west, there is a small hill you mentioned on the left side of Lake Baikal!"
Chen Qilin smiled and said: "Thank you!"
He took out a lollipop and handed it to the little girl.
After doing all this, Chen Qilin took off again and flew westward.
After flying for a while, he saw the hills and swamps.
"This is it!"
Chen Qilin excitedly landed below, and soon found the entrance to the Xiongnu royal court's treasure place and entered it...
