In Jingzhou, in the Lumen Academy on the outskirts of Xiangyang, an ugly 16-year-old boy with a strange appearance and an upturned nose said to another 13-4 year-old boy with a handsome appearance:"Kong Ming! Kong Ming! Have you heard about it?" ?The King of Xia is preparing to hold the imperial examination in Yecheng in the near future to select talents from all over the world!"

"Um!"

The young Zhuge Liang stared at the book in his hand intently, while flipping through it, he nodded lightly:"The news has spread throughout Jingzhou, of course I have heard about it too! Why do you ask? Are you planning to attend?"

After saying this, Zhuge Liang turned to look at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong's expression froze when he was asked. Zhuge Liang was speechless and said,"You don't really want to go, do you? Aren't you afraid that the teacher will break your legs?"

Pang Tong was born in the Pang family in Jingzhou, a big noble family, and he had a lot of opinions about Luo Xuan.

If Pang Tong dared to go to the north to take part in the imperial examination, you can imagine how angry Pang Tong would be.

"Well....hey-hey! I'm just saying it!

Pang Tong rolled his eyes and wrote down:"Don't you think this exam is interesting?" This is a great opportunity to become famous in the world. I estimate that many talented people will go back and participate! Kong Ming, think about it! With our talents, it’s not too much to get first or second place, right?"

"By then, we will be a veritable sleeping dragon and phoenix chick!"

Rather than being blown out by others like it is now.

Pang Tong is a real person and he has a good reputation, but only if he earned the reputation himself.

He wants to make himself worthy of the name.

Well! Of course, this is all time The reason why.

Zhuge Liang didn't understand Pang Tong yet, so he rolled his eyes and said,"Don't be careful in front of me, right?" I think you are going to Luo Xuan, right?

Pang Tong:"Uh....."

Seeing that he was speechless, Zhuge Liang continued:"You have always admired Luo Xuan's various political ideas and systems. Do you think Zhengzhong can hide it from me?"

"Are you still the same?

Pang Tong curled his lips disdainfully and said,"When I was studying Xia's policies, who was the most enthusiastic?""

"you!"

Zhuge Liang looked at Pang Tong without hesitation.

Pang Tong:"......"

"Except me!"

"That's really me! Then what?" Zhuge Liang was a little disapproving.

Pang Tong immediately clenched his fists with enthusiasm and said:"Of course I will take part in the imperial examination, join the army of King Xia, contribute to the reform of the world, and leave my name in history! Do you still want to be mediocre all your life?

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said,"It's not that I object to working for Luo Xuan!" Even the teacher is not as opposed to it as you think! But we are still too young after all! There is no way the teacher would agree!"

This is the key.

However, Pang Tong had a different opinion:"Seeing that Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Biao have formed an alliance, they are preparing for a decisive battle with King Xia! Do you really think there is still a lot of time for us to grow further?"

"In a few years, the Xia King might be able to dominate the world! By then, all reforms will have been completed! What else is going on with us? What about our family?"

He is not someone who really doesn't care about the influence of his family.

On the contrary, it is for the sake of the future of his family that he wants to go to the north to take the imperial examination, become an official under Luo Xuan, and be reused.

He is a smart man, Pang Degong and him Most of the people around him are smart people, how can they not see the future direction of this world?

Luo Xuan's advantages are too great, and his reforms are too successful. In the future, the world will definitely be ruled by King Xia.

Now he continues to hang himself on other princes , or report a wait-and-see attitude, their family will definitely decline in the future.

As the direct heir of a large family, you can be naive, but you cannot always be naive

"Then are you sure that if we go now, we will definitely be at the front of the queue, and we will definitely be reused by King Xia? Are you looking down on everyone in the world too much?"

Zhuge Liang is indeed very high-spirited, but he has not yet reached the point of being arrogant.

Especially since he is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, and he is far from reaching the peak of knowledge and arrogance!

"certainly! Even if it doesn’t take the top spot, it’s still okay to be ranked 30 on the list! Otherwise, wouldn’t my knowledge of these skills be in vain? Pang

Tong raised his chin, and then urged Zhuge Liang:"Just say whether you want to go or not!" Give me a clear message! If you don’t go, I’ll go by myself!"

"Where do you want to go?"

At this moment, Pang Degong's voice came from outside the yard. Then, the gray-haired Pang Degong walked in with his hands behind his back and an indifferent expression, stared at Pang Tong and said

"Well......"

Pang Tong was speechless for a moment, rolled his eyes and said,"Well, I just asked Kong Ming if he would like to go on a trip tomorrow.....right! play! Kong Ming, do you think so?"

As he said that, Pang Tong winked at Zhuge Liang and touched Zhuge Liang quietly with his hand.

Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and thought to himself:"The teacher has obviously heard it, aren't you hiding your ears and stealing the bell now? And he even dragged me along to lie! No one has deceived his teammates like you!"

However, Pang Tong was his good friend, so Zhuge Liang could only bite the bullet and prepare to help.

Then, Pang Degong raised his hand to interrupt:"No need to cover for him! I'm not deaf yet! I heard it all!"

"Well...."

After hearing this, Pang Tong pursed his lips, and then his stubborn temper rose. He raised his chin and said,"I just want to go to Yecheng to take part in the imperial examination. This is not a shameful thing! I will go whether you agree or not."!"

"Besides, I’m not just doing this for myself, I’m also doing this for the sake of my family!"

"In your usual analysis, don’t you say that King Xia has the greatest chance of unifying the world? Wouldn't it also be said that Liu Biao was incompetent and could not achieve great things, and other princes did not have much chance?"

"Seeing that everyone is about to dominate the world, this imperial examination obviously still has the intention of testing and recruiting from King Xia! This is an opportunity he gave to the world's elites and nobles! If we don't catch it, what will happen to us in the future? I think you, uncle, also know this, right?"

If you don't get involved at this time, it's really too late!

Even in the future, they will not have such a good opportunity to join!

In the future, if they want to serve under Luo Xuan, they may even encounter suppression.

After all, they are born The noble clan is opposing Luo Xuan!

Therefore, whether it is for his future career or for his family, Pang Tong wants to participate.

After hearing this, Pang Degong was silent for a while before sighing:"Hey!.....How could I not know! It’s just that you are still young now! Moreover, war is about to begin everywhere now! How can you reassure me that you are going?"

Pang Tong heard his uncle's tone relaxed, and immediately said happily:"You don't have to worry about this!"......
