I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tan deeply felt that the young people these days were really stunned, but if he didn't care about human life like those dandies in Chang'an, there might be three feet of blood spattered under the horse's hoof now.

Liu Tan originally wanted to go out for an outing with Lu Xuan, but after being bored in the palace for a long time, and dealing with the paperwork with Lu Xuan for several days, Liu Tan finally couldn't help it.

There are so many things in the world, if he struggles with these things every day, it will be endless, so in the end he simply pushed aside the less important things, directly pulled Lu Xuan and said: "Let's go, let's quit, Go out and play."

Resting in Chang'an for so long may really have spoiled him. Before, he didn't feel much about dealing with paperwork for several days, but now he feels bored.

Of course, most of these documents are just a formality. At the beginning of the northern border country, there must be a lot of things. At that time, Liu Tan had to solve various problems and meet various challenges every day. Of course, he felt that he was particularly successful. feel.

Now that the Northern Borderlands has basically entered a period of steady development, Liu Tan can indeed make troubles about other things, but that is purely troublesome, so it is better to go out and play.

How can the beautiful spring be wasted in the room?

The result may be that God didn't want him to go out to play, and he was stopped and complained as soon as he left the palace.

Liu Tan looked at the man kneeling down who was choking with sobs and asked, "Where are you from? What grievances do you have? Why don't you go to Tingwei's Mansion?"

Ting Wei's place is the place to handle cases seriously, even if you don't go to Ting Wei, you can go to Shuofang County Sheriff's.

If the sheriff of Shuofang felt that he could not handle the case, he would naturally report it layer by layer.

Now it is against the rules for this person to come directly to intercept the horse of the King of the North.

It's just... Liu Tan glanced at the people around him. Although those people didn't come over directly, their eyes and ears pricked up showed that they were watching and gossiping.

The man kneeling on the ground said in a low voice: "Caomin are students who want to take the imperial examination."

Want to take the imperial examination?

This imperial examination was all done last year, why are people still looking for him now?

Liu Tan didn't ask any more questions but said, "Come here, take him back."

No matter how you say it, you can't try the case on the street.

He turned to Miao Rui and said, "Send someone to invite Huo Xiang over."

Huo Guang presided over the imperial examination from beginning to end, and this matter must not be bypassed by Huo Guang.

Not long after, Liu Tan returned to the palace. Lu Xuan saw that he was very unhappy, so he couldn't help but squeeze his hand and said, "It's the same when we go back tomorrow."

Liu Tan said helplessly: "I just suspect that God doesn't want me to rest."

It is rare for him to want to skip work once, but this kind of thing happens when he goes out, who can he reason with?

Even though he thought so, when he sat on the throne, his expression became very serious.

The person who stopped the horse and complained just now was also brought up, and he just took a serious look at the other person at this moment, and felt a little strange at this moment—this person was not from the Central Plains, he should be from the Huns by appearance.

Yes, the Huns, not the Western Regions.

Having dealt with these people for a long time, Liu Tan can somewhat tell what the other person looks like. Seeing the other person wearing a student robe at this time, he couldn't help being a little strange for a while.

Before Huo Guang came, Liu Tan couldn't just wait and asked, "Tell me, who gave you the news to let you know where the king will pass by?"

The man was standing honestly at the bottom, but after hearing what Liu Tan said, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness knows that there is absolutely no one in contact with the grass people. It's just that the grass people heard that it is the only way for His Highness to leave the city, so they waited." Once there, if His Highness doesn't believe it, you can ask the people around, the grass people will never dare to lie to His Highness."

Liu Tan was a little surprised, the co-author is still waiting?

Bah bah bah, who is the rabbit.

He glanced at Bi Gao, and Bi Gao immediately went out and ordered a little eunuch to inquire about the news.

At this time, Liu Tan asked again: "How long have you been waiting there?"

The man said directly: "I have been waiting for a year and three months."

One year and three months?

Liu Tan made a quick calculation in his mind. The scientific examination started last summer, and now there are still more than two months to go, but that is the time for the general examination, and the rural examination will start much earlier.

This calculation basically means that this person ran to Shuofang City when the township examination started.

And at that time... Liu Tan just happened to leave Shuofang City.

This man is also really unlucky.

No, it can't be considered bad luck, at least he really waited.

You must know that if Liu Tan hadn't wanted to skip work on a whim today, according to the formal procedure, if Liu Tan left the city, this person would not have been able to reach Liu Tan, and his elite group would have blocked him out.

Liu Tan may not even know that there is such a person to complain.

As a result, it happened today.

Liu Tan asked: "Tell me, what is worth waiting in Shuofang City for so long?"

He didn't ask about the origin of the other party. It's not that there are no Huns in the northern border country. Before, in order to seduce, ahem, to attract the Huns to join the big man, so as to achieve the goal of splitting the Huns, Liu Tan took in many Huns, and for the sake of Retaining them also naturalized some Huns.

Although this man looks like a Hun, but his behavior is no different from other common people of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Tan naturally regards him as a commoner of the Han Dynasty.

I don't know what forced him to stop the driver. You must know that the probability of success is actually lower than going to the Tingwei Mansion to file a complaint.

As for whether the Tingwei Mansion will be in cahoots with someone, Liu Tan thinks that Jiang Chong has done a good job on this point. After all, he also knows that he does not rub the sand in his eyes. If it is really exposed, he will wait for bad luck. Bar.

The man bowed and said, "Cao Min Ke Minghan wants to sue the current Prime Minister this time!"

When he said this, Huo Guang happened to be walking inside.

Liu Tan looked up at Huo Guang. Although his expression was still serious, his eyes were full of gloating.

You must know that Liu Tan must be the one with the highest reputation in the northern border country, but besides him, Huo Guang is the most popular among the people. People respect and love Huo Guang when they mention Huo Guang. Today, someone wants to sue him. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

However, what disappointed Liu Tan was that even after hearing this sentence, Huo Guang walked in with steady and powerful steps, and every step he took seemed to be measured, very average, and it seemed that he was not affected.

Huo Guang sat quietly aside after saluting.

The man named Ke Minghan seemed a little nervous, he glanced at Huo Guang quickly, and then kept staring at the ground.

Liu Tan asked, "What do you want to tell the Prime Minister?"

Ke Minghan bit his lip, summoned up his courage and said, "I... the grassroots accuse the country's Prime Minister to obey the Yin, and treat the students participating in the scientific examination more favorably than others."

Liu Tan was a little surprised: "What did you say? Is there any evidence?"

His attitude seemed to encourage Ke Minghan, who said excitedly: "Cao Min is the evidence. This is the household registration of Cao Min. Cao Min is an upright Han Chinese and a native of the northern border, but he can't take part in the imperial examination. Dare to ask the Prime Minister of the country? Is this household registration useless?"

Huo Guang was slightly taken aback, looked at Ke Minghan and asked, "You... are the Huns who returned to Han?"

Ke Minghan flinched slightly, and glanced at Liu Tan subconsciously. After realizing that the king of the northern border was looking at his household registration, he puffed up his chest and said, "Exactly."

Huo Guang nodded to Liu Tan and said calmly: "It is the minister's order that the Huns who returned to Han will not be admitted."

Since you cannot be admitted, it is useless to take the scientific examination.

Liu Tan took a look at Huo Guang and knew that he must have his own ideas. Before he said anything, Ke Minghan knelt down and kowtowed and said: "Your Highness, although the grass people are Huns, they have a heart for Han. If His Highness didn't take them in, our tribe I'm afraid that we have all died on the grassland. We want to serve His Highness as warmly and sincerely as the sun, but the Prime Minister shut us out. When His Highness gave me the household registration, he said that we are the same as the big man. People are treated equally, why is it different now?"

Liu Tan: ...

I don't see anything else, it must be true that this person has read a lot of books, this small-mouthed person is really a good talent to go to Honglu.

Liu Tan coughed lightly: "I just came back not long ago, and the imperial examination has not been sorted out yet. I already know about you. Many rules and regulations in the northern border country are sketchy, so they will definitely be imperfect. At that time, the king had already gone to sea. If you can't get in touch with me, I can't make decisions without authorization. I can only make such a bad plan, and it's not his fault. Since I agreed at the beginning, then naturally I treat everyone equally, but I don't know if there are other people who want to take the imperial examination besides you Not a descendant of the Huns?”

Ke Minghan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Liu to justify Huo Guang with a few words.

And this excuse is not that Huo Guang is right, but that he puts the responsibility on the Northern King himself.

Is it wrong that the king of the northern border is not here, and the prime minister can't be contacted and dare not deal with it at will?That's right.

What is wrong is that the King of the North did not perfect this rule.

Ke Minghan had originally planned to expose the truth of the Prime Minister even if he did not take the imperial examination, but at this moment he was a little at a loss, and could only subconsciously answer: "Yes... Yes."

Liu Tan immediately said: "Come here, tell me to go down and count how many people of Hun origin who have been turned away have not participated in the rural examination, organize a new one, let them come to Shuofang City to take the examination, travel expenses, board and lodging costs The king bears it."

Ke Minghan couldn't help staring at Liu Tan with wide eyes. He had already accepted his fate, and he thought in his heart that the best result would be to be able to take the imperial examination next year.

However, in his opinion, this result was already an extravagant hope. He did not expect that the solution of the King of the North was far beyond his expectations.

Keminghan was still a little dizzy when he was sent to the posthouse.

Huo Guang, who didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, waited for Ke Minghan to leave before he said helplessly: "Why is this so, Your Highness?"

Liu Tan said: "I know what you're worried about. It's true that I didn't plan for the future. Even if I really guarded against the Huns, I couldn't do it so terribly. The big deal is to be more strict with their investigation."

Huo Guang sent out a soul torture: "If so, do these people also have to take the palace examination? Even if they pass the provincial examination, they are still short of the general examination."

Liu Tan: ...
