Chapter 411 A Cooked Duck Cannot Fly
Just when Yuan Tan was fighting for the right to rule Xiulou with his little mascot.

On the other side of the mansion, Sun Ce was in the study discussing with Zhou Yu about the subsequent house arrest of Liu Bei.

"Brother, this time it's done. We trapped Liu Bei with a wedding. People in the world thought we were planning a wedding for him, so they couldn't say anything."

Sun Ce nodded repeatedly listening to Zhou Yu's words.

There is always a reason to do things.

It means that great powers of later generations will find excuses for doing bad things abroad, let alone doing bad things at home.

"The four counties in southern Jing..., open up the way to enter.... Jiangdong is the head, Jingzhou is the waist, and Sichuan is the tail. Okay, very good..."

Sun Ce is full of hope for the future at this moment, and half of the country is just around the corner.

At this time, Wu Guotai's envoy came outside the door.

The envoy came in and said: "Marquis Wu, Wu Guotai has an order to re-examine Liu Bei and examine the six arts of a gentleman."

Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Didn't you already pass?"

The messenger cupped his hands and saluted, "Wu Guotai said that the previous interview was an interview, but now it is an actual assessment, which can be regarded as a written examination."

I go.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who were happy just now, were dumbfounded.

If there is still an assessment, there will be too many variables, and the feelings just now will be wasted.

But the two knew that they could not confront Wu Guotai on this matter, if they did not fight, the plan would be ruined.

What's more, Sun Ce is a filial son, he will not fight with his mother.

The duck is not allowed to be eaten after it is cooked, and the turning point of the matter is really unexpected.But fortunately, Wu Guotai did not repent, but just investigated more.

So on this night.

Zhou Yu personally came to the station where Liu Bei was.

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Xu Shu stared at Zhou Yu with wide-eyed eyes.

"Isn't it already passed?" Liu Bei looked at Zhou Yu with the expression that I was played by you.

Zhou Yu was actually very willing to help Liu Bei pass the customs, but he couldn't express it, so he looked at it seriously, "The previous one was just an interview, but now it's a written test."

written examination?I really despise.

"Governor, I don't know what the content of the assessment is?" Liu Bei said.

"Six arts of a gentleman." Zhou Yu said.

Liu Bei had to agree.

After sending Zhou Yu away, Liu Bei panicked, "Military Master, we didn't expect it before we came, so what should we do?"

Xu Shu was very calm, "If you compete in the six arts of a gentleman, you will not be troubled by this, my lord."

The six arts of a gentleman: ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Ritual: etiquette, moral culture.

Shooting: Archery techniques.These five shooting techniques are: Baiya, Shenlian, Yanzhu, Xiangchi, and Jingyi.

White Arrow: The arrow is white when the arrow passes through the target, indicating that the arrow is accurate and powerful

Participating in the company: put one arrow in front, and the three arrows in the back will go in a row, and the arrows belong to each other, as if connecting beads
Yan Note: It refers to the disease of the arrow, the aiming time is short, and the arrow hits the arrow
Xiangchi: The subject and the monarch shoot, the subject and the monarch stand side by side, let the monarch retreat with one foot
Well instrument: The four arrows are coherent and all hit the target

Yu: The skill of driving a carriage.

Divided into: Ming and Luan: It means that it corresponds to the sound of Luan when driving

Chasing water car: galloping along the curved bank without falling into the water
Passing the emperor's watch: it is etiquette to pass the emperor's watch
Dancing Intersection: Driving freely through the aisle

Chasing birds to the left: When hunting, chase animals and shoot from the left.

Book: Refers to calligraphy.

Number: Refers to the number of reason and the number of qi (the law when using the method), that is, the movement law of the restraint of yin and yang and five elements.

Before the Sui Dynasty, the Six Arts of a Gentleman were most valued. Anyone with a little background would learn the Six Arts of a Gentleman.

Liu Bei, as a prince who has experienced many battles, rituals and music are compulsory courses, and his ability to shoot and drive a carriage has long been verified on the battlefield.

Calligraphy is also his strength, and he is not afraid of these.

"However, military adviser, if you are rational..." Liu Bei was in a dilemma.

Xu Shu calmly said, "My lord, don't worry, I'm here."

Reasoning numbers and aura is a compulsory course for military advisers. A military adviser may not know how to archery or ride a horse, but he must not be ignorant of arrogance and aura.

…………

The next day, early morning.

Inside Sun Shangxiang's embroidery building, another battle for supremacy broke out.

ding ding dong.

The big sword and the little sword were fighting like a raging fire.

But this time the maids were not afraid, but watched with great interest.

The maid in charge, Xiaobi, also issued an order, so someone was holding a water basin, and someone was hanging a towel, waiting for a while to serve.

"Daughter-in-law~ Don't be a daughter-in-law, save some strength, Liu Bei's assessment is about to start today." Yuan Tan used a big sword with sticky words, sticking to the small sword all the time.

Sun Shangxiang couldn't compare to Yuan Tan in terms of martial arts or strength, and she was panting after a while.

Sun Shangxiang gritted his silver teeth and thought, after repelling Liu Bei, he would report Yuan Tan and let Yuan Tan be imprisoned in Jiangdong's prison forever, and he would torture him every day.

Anyway, based on Yuan Tan's misbehavior yesterday, she must not be able to get married.Although others don't know what Yuan Tan has done, Sun Shangxiang knows that she cannot let her future husband down.Then, you can only stay unmarried for the rest of your life.

"Then I will torture him for the rest of my life!"

After Sun Shangxiang had this idea, he stopped.

The maid, Xiaobi, hurriedly brought someone up to serve her, handing towels and wiping off her sweat.

a while.

"Guotai invites Missy to go to the front hall. Uncle Liu Huang has already arrived, so I'm waiting for Missy." An envoy came outside and spread the word outside the building.

ten minutes later.

Wuhou Mansion Council Hall.

The scale of Sun Ce's meeting hall is quite large, and it can accommodate hundreds of people without being crowded.

At this moment, Jiangdong officials gathered here.

After all, for the examination of Liu Bei, there must be an examiner and a notary, so all the twelve tiger officials and twelve civil servants from Jiangdong have come.

"Xuande don't worry, I support you." Sun Ce said while shaking Liu Bei's hand.

As the initiator of the marriage, Sun Ce expressed his support within reason.

Seeing Liu Bei's distressed face, Sun Ce said again: "Mr. Xuande, don't worry. For this assessment, Xuande will pass as long as he meets the standard."

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, it seemed that he didn't show his embarrassment in vain, and obtained certain information.It's just that if the standard is met, Liu Bei is full of confidence.

But at the moment, he didn't show too much confidence, and nodded gratefully.

Xu Shu said from the sidelines: "Jiangdong and Jingzhou are countries of brothers. If we can form a good relationship, we will unite in the future and advance and retreat together."

Zhou Yu and the others nodded their heads in praise.

"Wu Guotai is here..." With a chorus, everyone stood up hastily.

Although Sun Ce and Liu Bei are both princes, facing Wu Guotai at this moment, one is a son and the other is a prospective son-in-law.

Wu Guotai is the biggest here.

I saw Wu Guotai coming in, and a group of servant girls.

Sun Shangxiang did not show up in the back hall, while Yuan Tan was among the attendants.

After everyone saluted, they must be talking about Liu Bei's assessment.

Sun Ce said: "My lord, the examiner's words this time are Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Sun Jing, and Lu Su."

Ask Zhou Yu for foreign affairs, and Zhang Zhao for internal affairs. Cheng Pu is the deputy governor of Jiangdong, and Sun Jing is the elder of the Sun family.

And Lu Su needs to be specially mentioned. He is the richest man in Jiangdong, but he is rich and benevolent, so he has a very high reputation.He is the most benevolent elder in Jiangdong, and it is said that he has never said a word out loud in his life.Therefore, after the death of Zhou Yu in history, Lu Su succeeded to the throne and became the second generation governor.

It seems that the examiners all have extraordinary backgrounds.

Following Sun Ce's roll call, five people stood in a row in front of Wu Guotai.

At this time, Yuan Tan walked out from the attendants and stood behind Lu Su.

Immediately everyone's eyes focused on the past.

Sun Ce was puzzled and asked, "My lord, who is this person?"

Not only he was puzzled, but Liu Bei and the others were also puzzled.
