Chapter 132
"Is there anyone among you who is familiar with Pang Tong..." Sun Quan asked in a low voice, "Can you call Pang Tong back? I can give him a higher position."
No one present stepped forward to answer. As the saying goes, a good horse never turns back to the old stable.
Besides, the status given by Liu Bei must be not low.
……
[Pang Tong was not given a high position because of his ugliness, but someone in the Song Dynasty changed the rules of the imperial examinations because of his ugliness.]
Uh-huh?
Changing the rules of scientific research? Is being ugly really that useful?
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, there was a candidate named Zhang Yuan. Because he was not good-looking, he was rejected several times in the imperial examinations, which made him bear a grudge.
【So he went straight to Xixia.】
[In the Battle of Haoshuichuan, he served as the military advisor of the Western Xia and defeated the Song Dynasty army at Haoshuichuan, resulting in the death toll reaching over 10,000.]
He left behind a rather arrogant poem: "Xia Song has never been so arrogant, Han Qi is not surprising enough. The river is full of dragon and tiger chariots, yet they still talk about military strategies."
Too embarrassing!
Ancient people from all dynasties were speechless about this person! What kind of person is this? If he was not admitted, he would go to a foreign country to seek refuge. Is he still a human being?
Wouldn't it be nice to live in seclusion and have some quiet conversation?
It's also possible to pass on the family tradition of farming and studying.
Because of Zhang Yuan's incident, the rules of the palace examination were changed. Anyone who passed the examination would be admitted as a Jinshi, and no one below that level would be eliminated.
Song Dynasty
Zhao Kuangyin sighed. The word "Ren" is still a good thing, but how could he be such an emperor who pushed such talented people into the hands of foreigners?
And what is going on with Xixia? How did such a force emerge?
Also, what happened last time when Renzong was mentioned? It seemed to be about Pang Ji, who was also dealing with Western Xia at that time.
"Second brother, where do you think this Xixia is?" Zhao Kuangyin asked, "If we knew where it was, could we take action against them in advance?"
Zhao Guangyi shook his head. The posthumous title of Renzong was quite good. It should have been given in the early period. At that time, there was the defeat at Haoshuichuan. Now he should not have any advantage.
No, now that you know the place name, you should know who it is.
"It should be those Tanguts!" Zhao Kuangyin carefully checked where the water stream was. "Let Pan Mei mobilize the troops. Let's teach those Tanguts a lesson!"
After Zhao Guangyi left, Zhao Kuangyin called Zhao Pu over again. He said that the imperial examination system needed to undergo a major change. Not only should Mi Lu and Teng Feng be used in advance, but the palace examination would also not eliminate anyone.
In this way, the man named Zhang Yuan would not have defected to Western Xia.
……
After Qi Cheng finished reading the records on Baidu, he returned to the bedroom. He had always wanted to buy a recliner to put by the window, but unfortunately he was not well off.
Before he started to look through his phone, Zhou Lu opened the door and came in. He sighed and said, "Brother, it's really hard to feel heartbroken."
"It's so painful to break up after just a few days of dating. How about we go out for a barbecue? If one barbecue doesn't solve the problem, then two can do it!"
Zhou Lu was listless. The key point was that he had been to all the fun places around him and they no longer interested him.
"Let's go, let's eat something first. It's already noon." Qi Cheng dragged Zhou Lu out. "What do you want to eat? I'm afraid the barbecue restaurant isn't open yet."
The two drove to the beach, found a seat with a view, ordered a simple meal and started eating.
"Tell me what's going on?"
"Someone introduced me to someone a few days ago. She's really good-looking, and I quite like her." Zhou Lu whispered, "We chatted for several days, but today I was told she's not suitable!"
Tsk, this isn't a heartbreak at all, it's just unrequited love at best.
"Anyway, I just feel bad!"
According to Qi Cheng's experience, this is the time to go out and have fun or have a big meal. Then he will naturally forget about this woman and start another relationship that may not be successful.
