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

These people immediately adjusted their destinations after receiving the order. Except for Dou Sibo, the rest of them were more familiar with Jicheng.

Liu Tan calculated the time and found that he still had time to hold a palace test, and even have time to arrange the affairs of the northern border country.

The palace examination, which has been postponed for a long time, finally arrived. After seeing the date, everyone was a little dumbfounded—the time of the palace examination turned out to be the time of last year's examination, which means that the palace examination was really postponed for a whole year.

But even so, no one dared to complain. It would be nice to have a palace exam, and they basically studied in the academy during this year except for the New Year, and most of them felt that they had benefited a lot.

Originally, those candidates who did not belong to the northern border country came here with a sense of superiority. They thought that their knowledge was much better than the candidates from the northern border country.

He even felt that when he got here, he should immediately be admitted to the top three and become an extremely human minister.

Then when they arrived at the Academy, they were beaten up by reality. They found that they had never even heard of many things taught by the Academy?

What made them even more unbearable was that they were despised by the students of the academy.

The students in the Academy are all citizens of the northern border country, and they naturally stand on the side of their "young brothers". In addition, these outsiders are still dancing like that, who will be punished if they are not punished?

So these people were directly crushed in various aspects, even including physical fitness.

Well, the people of the northern border country have always been tough, that is, Liu Tan has paid more attention to public security in recent years, and the laws have been formulated very strictly. There is no capital in the whole Han Dynasty that strictly prohibits carrying weapons, but Shuofang City is like this.

And these students are basically not too old, and it was when their blood was still hot, they just found some excuses such as sparring and beat them up.

Not to mention, the effect of the two-pronged approach is really good, at least when Liu Tan comes back, these people are already honest.

During the palace examination, these people were also very honest.

However, no matter how honest Liu Tan was, he didn't plan to use them particularly, and the top three would still come out of the northern border countries.

It is too simple to want to be shady, because the questions of the palace test are very idealistic, and they are free to answer, without standard answers, so it is not up to Liu Tan to decide whether the answers are good or not.

In fact, he didn't bully those people too much, and the topic he proposed this time was also targeted: on the cooperation between the northern border countries and the countries of the Western Regions.

This topic is very broad, and you can say whatever you want. What Liu Tan wants to see is whether these people's brains are big enough.

It doesn't matter if you are a little poor in knowledge, or a little poor in vision. These can be formed through experience, but you have to dare to think, sometimes those who have not read enough books and seen enough things have more brains. Hole.

As soon as this question comes out, it basically means that the candidates from the northern border country have won half of it.

Because those who come to take the exam from other places naturally don't think about these things.

They are not from the northern border country, how could they pay so much attention?

That's why Liu Tan didn't want to give them preferential treatment.

Even if the future generations want to be admitted to a place with a lower score for the college entrance examination, they still have to go to that city to buy a house and transfer to another school in advance. She doesn't look very good, but she is quite beautiful as you can imagine.

However, I have to say that after the imperial examination, the reading atmosphere in the northern border country is a little bit better, at least this batch is not bad.

After Liu Tan selected the top three, the only thing he needed to show his face was the No. [-] Scholar Banquet, to encourage these students.

Then he was about to pack his bags and prepare to go, but before he left, he asked Jiang Chong to find Ke Minghan.

Ke Minghan is indeed knowledgeable, but Liu Tan still did not choose him as the top three.

This has nothing to do with how much he has read, but that he has no depth in economics and politics, and he is the kind of person who is often said to be a dead book in later generations.

It is really to raise the threshold by choosing a good study first, and at the same time, the most transparent standard of grades. In fact, after passing the provincial examination, all that is left is to strive for other skills.

If Keminghan didn't have such a teacher, Liu Tan would have wanted him to go to the academy to be a teaching assistant for those gentlemen.

It's a pity that his identity is too sensitive, so Liu Tan decided to let him do something meaningful.

Ke Minghan is also not satisfied with the current results. He was also going for the top three. Unfortunately, the imperial examinations in the Northern Kingdom have only been held for two times.

But it doesn't matter, at least he is still a Gongshi and can enter the academy to study.

In other words, it may be more suitable to enter the academy than to be in other places.

If he can be ranked among the top three, he will either act as a clerk with the king of the north or be with the prime minister of the country. He has to be careful about what he wants to do, and it is impossible to let go of his hands and feet.

It is true that he has not come into contact with many things now, but he has known many people. As long as those who can enter the academy are not too bad, they will basically be able to have an official position in the future. If they can influence people here, then It is a great achievement.

It's a pity that his teacher's life is not good, and he died inexplicably. If the teacher is still there, maybe he can let the teacher make plans now.

But now that the teacher is not around, the only thing he can do is to strengthen his connection with the Hun Khan while making his own plans.

As a result, his plan was approached by Tingwei Jiangchong before he even started.

When he heard Wei Ting looking for him, Ke Minghan subconsciously thought that his identity had been exposed, and wanted to run away on the spot.

However, at this time he was already in the academy, and there were not only Marquis Wu on patrol, but even a patrol team organized by the students themselves, so it was almost impossible for him to escape.

Ke Minghan could only take a deep breath, and followed the man all the way to Tingwei Mansion pretending to be calm.

He thought for a long time along the way, but he always felt that he hadn't had time to do anything. Although he had contact with the Huns, the direction was not obvious. Given his status, he still couldn't really exchange letters with the Khan of the Huns.

Anyway, he is a Hun, and even if he is discovered, he can find an excuse to say that he is corresponding with relatives in other tribes.

Taking a step back, even if he is really exposed, it is impossible for Ting Wei to come out to see him in person, right?

Ke Minghan was worried about gain and loss for a while, and when he arrived at Tingwei's mansion, he sat in the small flower hall and waited for a long time without seeing Jiang Chong, and he was even more disturbed.

After waiting for about half an hour, when he even suspected that he was going to drink up all the water in the kettle in front of him, Ting Wei Jiang Chong finally arrived late.

Jiang Chong smiled and said, "Wait a long time."

Ke Minghan immediately stood up and said respectfully, "I have seen Tingwei."

Jiang Chong stretched out his hand and said very kindly: "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down."

After sitting down, Jiang Chong observed Ke Minghan carefully, and found that this person did have various shortcomings, but it was not unusable.

Ke Minghan was obviously a little impatient, and after taking another sip of water, he couldn't help asking: "I wonder if the student is at fault?"

Jiang Chong smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's nothing serious."

However, Ke Minghan became even more nervous. Jiang Chong has been more serious when he meets people every day since his face was destroyed. He will relax a little unless Xiaochaohui is his own. But when facing Liu Tan... that is even more serious. nature.

But outsiders don't know, and everyone even thinks Ting Wei should be so serious.

Ting Wei, who was always stern, suddenly started to smile very kindly, which was scary when he thought about it.

Jiang Chong said: "I actually just wanted to ask you. Before His Royal Highness took over the affairs of the Yan Kingdom, he found out that there were many secret agents sent by the Hun King in the Yan Kingdom. His Highness was furious and felt that the Northern Border Kingdom was in this regard. Something is missing, so..."

Jiang Chong didn't make it clear, but Ke Minghan had already figured it out.

He is not a particularly smart person, but he has been exposed to a lot of things in this area, so he figured out a lot of things in an instant. He asked cautiously, "Your Highness...do you want to search for news about the Huns?"

Jiang Chong nodded seriously: "Yes, in fact, His Royal Highness had this idea before, but you also know that the Han people and the Huns look different after all, even if they are sent there, it is useless, and it is true that His Royal Highness took you tribes in before. I wanted to give you a way out, but I didn't ask you to do anything, let alone... in your current situation, even if you went, it might not be of any use."

Ke Minghan nodded seriously and said, "That's right. We didn't have much status in the Xiongnu. If His Royal Highness hadn't taken us in, we would have been cornered and frozen to death in the snow."

Jiang Chong said: "I don't know about other people, but you are different. You are knowledgeable and descended from the Huns. These days, I have heard that the King of the Huns is looking for someone who is proficient in Sinology to enlighten his children. Your knowledge teaches children what to do. It is more than enough, so... would you like to go to the Xiongnu to inquire about news for the northern border country?"

After hearing this, Ke Minghan was stunned. He was just guessing why Jiang Chong told him that it was Yan and other countries.

In the end, he never expected that Jiang Chong would let him go out as a spy?

Or go to the Huns?

Ke Minghan said with some anxiety: "But... the students are not good at this, and they don't know how to do it."

Jiang Chong said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, just pass on the news that you think is important, and someone from the Northern Border Kingdom will naturally analyze whether it is true or not."

Ke Minghan looked blank: "Who am I... going to pass it on to?"

Jiang Chong said: "In this regard, we will formulate a foolproof plan in detail to prevent you from being exposed at that time. The Hun King is cruel and cruel. I chose you to go out for the sake of the northern border country, but I will not let you die in vain. Once If things go wrong, I will protect you and come back immediately, you know His Highness's temper, if he knows that we don't care about your life, he will definitely lose his temper."

Ke Minghan asked cautiously: "I...can I think about it?"

Jiang Chong said very straightforwardly: "Of course, it's just that this matter can no longer be heard by other people. Now there is only His Highness in the entire northern border country. You and I know that if news comes from other people, even His Highness will be angry. of."

Ke Minghan immediately said seriously: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Ting, the students will definitely keep their mouths shut."

Ke Minghan originally just wanted to try it out, and he was already prepared not to go out if he didn't agree, but he didn't expect Jiang Chong to let him go.

After he walked out of Tingwei's mansion, he couldn't help but look back, feeling a little confused for a moment.

According to his teacher, there is not a single good person among the Han people.

He used to think the same way when he first came to Dahan and was bullied by others, but then as life got better and better, he began to gradually waver.

Now, with more officials in contact, I feel... It seems to be very different from what the teacher said.

Kemingham returned to the academy very slowly.

He is very entangled now, and of course he doesn't want to agree if he can.

This matter is too complicated, right?

Thanks to his teacher's favor, he promised to send the news of the northern border country to the Xiongnu, and he had already started to get on the right track.

At the beginning, the teacher also said that it would take a long time to gain the trust of these Han people.

He has also made preparations for this, but now he is just ready, if he goes to the Huns again, will he pass the news or not?

What is the right thing for him to do then?

It's a pity that the teacher has passed away, and Ke Minghan has no one to discuss, and he can only analyze from the limited knowledge his teacher taught him.

He remembered that the teacher said that if he could get in touch with the King of the North, no matter how outrageous his request was, Ke Minghan would have to agree.

This is to win the trust of the King of the North. Only by letting the King of the North trust you can you get more news.

And in this process, it is almost the same with other people, the only difference is that if it is not a person with a pivotal position, he can deal with the requests of those people at will.

After all, even if you want to win people's trust, you can't do too much. Although the northern border country is not very old from top to bottom, everyone is a smart person. If you are not careful, you may show your feet and let them find out.

So... now Jiang Chong's request should be regarded as a necessary one.

Now it seems that even if he doesn't go, there may not be any problem, but he will never have a good chance to get in touch with deeper secrets in the future.

When Ke Minghan was struggling, Jiang Chong also asked Liu Tan: "Your Highness, will he really agree?"

Liu Tan smiled: "He will agree."

Jiang Chong said: "But this way he will be in a dilemma, I'm afraid he may not have the courage."

"Being caught in a dilemma also means that he has more ways to retreat. Don't be so pessimistic about everything, not to mention that after his teacher's death, if he just has to follow his teacher's instructions because of the favor of that person, So now he should be relieved, and he doesn't intend to continue to do what he did before, but he is still doing other things step by step except for the funeral, which shows that he still wants to continue his teacher's "last wish". Since he wants to continue, He wanted something, at least he wanted more opportunities to get access to the intelligence of the northern border country."

Jiang Chong said: "In this case, wouldn't it be more appropriate not to go?"

"I personally explained this matter to you, and you personally approached him. According to his current status, it is not easy to meet Ting Wei. Do you think he thinks that we attach special importance to this matter? Is he worried that he will struggle if he refuses?"

When Jiang Chong thought about it, it seemed to be the same reason, so he asked: "Then...do you really want to send someone to help him?"

"Assistance is absolutely necessary, but the person sent cannot show his face, cannot have any contact with him, and cannot provide him with any information about the embroidered clothes envoy. If it is exposed, it will not help even if he is cut to pieces by then."

Jiang Chong thought about it for the same reason, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, what are we going to do now?"

Liu Tan asked, "Have you selected the people I asked you to choose?"

Jiang Chong was a little embarrassed: "I chose some people in a hurry, but I don't know if His Highness is satisfied."

Liu Tan sighed: "Hey, in fact, this matter should not be entrusted to you, but now I don't know what department it is, so let's hang it under the Tingwei Mansion for now."

In fact, the intelligence department should be regarded as a kind of army, but it is rather special, but if it is put in the hands of the captain, Liu Tan is not at ease.

Seeing that the Protectorate of the Western Regions is about to be completed, Wei Buyi will go there to guard one side, and the captain of the Northern Kingdom will be replaced.

This person was chosen by Liu Che, maybe Liu Tan had never had much contact with that person, he was really worried that such an important department would be handed over to the other party.

It's better to hand it over to Jiang Chong.

Liu Tan said: "You go to Wei Deng and ask him to help you train people."

Jiang Chong was slightly caught off guard: "What? Do these people have to follow the standards of military training?"

Liu Tan shook his finger: "No, not according to that standard."

Only then did Jiang Chong heave a sigh of relief, that's right, fine work doesn't require such good physical fitness.

When he was thinking this way, he heard his Highness say again: "It must be stricter than that."

Jiang Chong: ... Then what about him, the leader?
