The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 57 Selection

On the second day, Chen Fan came to the place he had agreed with the various families early on. After a while, all the people from the family who participated in the selection came.

More or less hundreds of children from aristocratic families came to participate this time, and some heads of aristocratic families came to wait for a while to select articles.

After the children of the aristocratic family arrived, they found a few people they knew each other, and asked about the preparations of the other party, so that they could prepare themselves in advance.

As soon as Wang Meng came down, he stood there, looking at a person who was reading a book. In a place full of people, reading is always a strange phenomenon.

He thought this person was very interesting, and when Wang Meng was about to go up and ask, two people slapped him on the shoulder.

These two people are Yuan Chonghuan, Guo Ziyi, and Wang Meng is an arrogant person. He doesn't have many friends, just a few. In his eyes, many people are ordinary people, and he can't get into his eyes at all.

"You guys are here." Wang Meng said, these two were one of his few good friends, and he didn't ask about the preparations, after all, he was confident in the talents of these two old guys.

"I heard that Liu Bowen of the royal family is also here." Guo Ziyi said, Liu Bowen is known as the number one talent of the royal family.

Because his blood relationship is too far away from Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, he is not qualified to be a candidate for the emperor, so he was not in the Sanliu struggle for the throne that was raging at the beginning.

Moreover, he was not involved in the royal family's support for Liu Che. At the beginning, he had a keen feeling that Liu Che would not be the emperor. He also told Liu Chong about it, but Liu Chong didn't listen.

Finally, after Liu Hong became emperor, Liu Chong felt the talent of this young man, so he vigorously cultivated him.

This time, the five members of the aristocratic family had nothing to do with the royal family, but Liu Chong approached Chen Fan. Chen Fan couldn't refuse, and finally decided to let Liu Bowen also participate in the selection, but it might not be possible to be selected, it still depends on talent.

Finally Liu Chong also agreed, "Bowen, here, come here, hurry up." Guo Ziyi said to a young man.

That young man was Liu Bowen. As soon as he got out of the car, he was pulled over by his friends. I have to say that to know what kind of person a person is, you just need to look at his friends.

Yuan Chonghuan, Guo Ziyi, Wang Meng, and Liu Bowen, these four people have the talents to control the world and the ability to stabilize the country and rejuvenate the country.

"Do you see that person?" Wang Meng pointed to the person who was studying and said to the other three people. "This person must not be underestimated."

"In a place full of people's voices, I feel safe and at ease. It seems unusual." Yuan Chonghuan also agreed.

"Let's go get acquainted." Guo Ziyi said, and took the three of them to find the young man who was studying. Guo Ziyi was also curious about this person.

"Young master." Guo Ziyi called out, and after hearing someone calling him, Lu Shang put down the book.

He was originally in Luoyang for fun, but after hearing about the candidates for the inner court, he went to find Chen Fan, and after reporting to his Lu family in Youzhou, he got the chance to participate in the selection.So he also delayed here.

"Everyone, what's the matter?" Lu Shang didn't know them, and he didn't know anyone in the capital. He came to Luoyang for the first time just to play, but he didn't expect to encounter civil strife.It was delayed, but if it wasn't for the delay, he wouldn't have had the chance to participate in the selection.

"I saw a friend reading here, but I don't know what kind of book it is." Guo Ziyi made this question a little awkward, and could only find a topic to cover it up.

"Don't you gentlemen ask how I am preparing?" Lu Shang said jokingly.These people are asking how others are preparing, and he thinks these people are doing the same.

"Hahaha, that's not necessary." Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile, "I believe in our talents. It will definitely be possible,"

"I also think I can have a spot," Lu Shang said. "There are five of us here, isn't that us?"

"It's not impossible." After listening to the same type of people, the other four people immediately knew that Lu Shang was essentially the same as them, and they immediately started communicating.

After hearing this, the other people around had only one feeling, that they were arrogant, but at first glance, it was the Yuan family, the royal family.Guo Jia, the Wang family didn't dare to say anything.

"Chen Gong thinks who is possible." Wang Xu also came here. Wang Xu is a famous Confucianist in the world, and it is only natural that he came here. He also came to help select articles.

Seeing where Chen Fan had been looking, he couldn't help asking curiously.

"Those five people are really interesting." Chen Fan pointed to Yuan Chonghuan and the others and said, the five people are very talented.He knows Wang Meng, Yuan Chonghuan and others very well, so he can treat each other well.Being able to play with them, that Lu Shang should not be underestimated,
After Lu Shang heard about this, he went directly to Chen Fan's mansion to look for Chen Fan, hoping that Chen Fan would give him a chance.

The Lu family in Youzhou is actually not a big family, but after communicating with Lu Shang, Chen Fan admired his talent and gave him a chance.
"They?" Wang Xu looked at the five people. He knew Wang Meng, after all, he was his nephew. Now Wang Xu has a bad relationship with the Wang family, but he has a good relationship with Wang Chang. Naturally, Wang Meng also knows him.

He originally wanted to ask Liu Hong to give the Wang family a place, but Wang Chang stopped him. If Wang Xu asked, it would definitely leave a bad impression on Liu Hong, so Wang Chang refused.

"It's almost time, let's go there." Chen Fan said.The topic was his own idea, and he didn't tell anyone, including his own son.Just for secrecy.

"Chen Gong." After seeing Chen Fan coming, everyone here stopped talking.Chen Fan was originally a member of Dou Wu's faction, but in the end he supported Liu Hong and led the family to abandon Dou Wu, which benefited the family a lot and attracted Liu Hong's attention.So Chen Fan's status is getting higher and higher.

Everyone here saluted Chen Fan.Chen Fan responded to them one by one.The people here can be said to be the best group of people in the family.Too bad there are only five spots.They can only rely on themselves, and the family can only win the exam for them.There is nothing else to offer.

Then those people began to sit down on every seat, and then the servants distributed the papers. At this time, there is no need to feel sorry for the papers.There are still very few Dahan papers, and Liu Hong is also looking for opportunities to release new papers.

After everyone sat down, Chen Fan said: "Today, we select five people to enter the inner court. Today's topic is only one, how to make the country strong, you can write about any aspect. Let's start, three hours, write Once you’re done, you can hand in the paper and leave.”

After listening to Chen Fan's words, the children of the aristocratic family began to write articles to express their opinions. Before coming, the elders in the family had already told them this.
