And when the people who were coaxing at this time heard this, their hearts couldn't help but tremble slightly.

What's going on? Is there a problem with the brains of the Jianghuai clan!

Now, in fact, Cao Shuo is the one who should attack the most, but now they are ready to do it?

At this time, Cao Cao's mansion was also in a meeting.

"Everyone, sit down now!"

Cao Cao said calmly, without the previous giggle.

The civil and military officials are now also facing the enemy, and they have begun to calculate the reasons for the rebellion of the scholars in the Jianghuai region.

It was not until the evening that Cao Cao collected all the information, and after discussing it with the strategists, he found that the root cause of the rebellion was that some scholars in the Jianghuai region were dissatisfied with Cao Shuo's imperial examination system, and then had the intention of rebellion.

Sun Quan also saw this opportunity and secretly instigated these people, and finally caused a rebellion.

From beginning to end, this matter has been secretly planned for nearly a few months, and after the outbreak broke out, Sun Quan also directly made Zhou Yu his own commander to lead the troops across the river, preparing to let him attack the Cao army as the commander.

The scholars in the Jianghuai region should be united from the outside, and the defending Cao army had little ability to resist, and lost many areas in a few days.

Now, Sun Quan is preparing to attack Shouchun, preparing to take down an important geographical location first.

At the same time, Liu Bei was not idle, he took advantage of Sun Quan's rebellion to avoid attacking the Runan region and attacking Xuchang.

"This Sun Quan really took the wrong medicine!"

Cao Cao was so angry that he slammed the table hard, and there was an incomparably cold gaze in his eyes: "A yellow-haired thief, how dare you crusade against me Cao Mengde?" Send troops over to defend Shouchun now! ”

"Lord, I have an opinion!"

At this moment, Cheng Yu took a step forward and said: "I actually think that the source of this matter is in the imperial examination system!" Isn't the reason for the rebellion of the Jianghuai Shi clan because the imperial examination system blocks their way of life? ”

Many strategists now echoed and said: "Now it's just that the Shi clan in the Jianghuai area has rebelled, if the lord doesn't repeal this decree, I'm afraid others will follow suit!" ”

In fact, there are still many strategists who are thinking about when to propose to Cao Cao to abolish the imperial examination system.

Although many of them bought perfume from Cao Shuo, in the face of their own interests, they still did not show any politeness to Cao Shuo's imperial examination.

There are also some people who want to abolish the imperial examination system, but their reason is that they believe that the imperial examination system is really discrediting Cao Cao and has a huge negative impact on Cao Cao's future rule.

"I think that now the lord should go and manage the Hanzhong area first!" At this time, Sima Lang stood up and said: "Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was originally forced to surrender, and now he will definitely be provoked by other scholars, which may make Zhang Lu regain his self-reliance, and at that time, we are facing enemies on all sides!" ”

"Indeed, I don't think there's anything wrong with what you're saying." Tian Feng also added at this time: "There are also some scholars in the north, they originally have great rights, if they take the opportunity to riot now, it must be a troublesome matter!" ”

...

After hearing so much, Cao Cao's face became more and more gloomy, and the pressure in his heart increased slightly.

As a leader, Cao Cao naturally knew that the imperial examination system touched the interests of these scholars.

But from the period of time when the imperial examination was implemented, Cao Cao saw infinite hope!

In essence, the imperial examination is a major move for the benefit of the country and the people, a policy that allows civilians to become officials and also selects people with superior abilities among the people.

Moreover, it can also greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, and Cao Shuo, who proposed this policy, is also a great merit!

Now, just because Jiangdong Sun Quan fanned the flames, such a policy was directly declared aborted?

"I don't think this matter is as serious as everyone says!"

At this moment, Guo Jia stood up and said leisurely.

"Guo Jia, if we follow the current development trend, we will be embattled in the future, do you even say that it is not serious?" Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows, and said to Guo Jia in a strange manner.

"Embattled? I don't think so! ”

Guo Jia touched his beard with a relaxed face, and then said to everyone in the hall: "Everyone only saw that the riot of the Shi clan was because of the imperial examination system, but you didn't see that the imperial examination system is beneficial to the poor people with a larger number of people, and they will naturally support us strongly!" ”

"Yes!"

Mao Jue also jumped out and confronted the group of people just now: "Everyone must know that whether it is the Jianghuai region or the northern region, we must take the opportunity to eliminate or weaken these scholars, I think this is a good opportunity!" ”

Guo Jia continued unhurriedly, and continued slowly: "This group of scholars has been a minority of people who have occupied the land and resources of the majority since ancient times, and it has always been an invisible threat to the imperial court, so we might as well take this opportunity to catch them all and distribute their money and fields, I don't think this matter is a stain on the lord at all!" ”

"Guo Jia! What are you trying to say when you say that? Whoever you want to get rid of, don't you have a point in your heart? ”

In the crowd, I don't know who said it so coldly.

Because many of Cao Cao's strategists are members of the scholar clan, Guo Jia's words now can be said to have offended them all.

"Haha!"

Guo Jia seems to have been prepared: "The scholars also have to divide people, the clearing in my mouth is naturally talking about those disobedient scholars, and obedient people will naturally stay, I don't know what you are anxious about." ”

"Guo Jia, you..."

Suddenly, the strategists of the scholar clan scolded Guo Jia all the time, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

And Cao Cao heard Guo Jia and Mao Jue's words, but his eyes lit up.

As a tyrant, how could he not want to get rid of these eyesore?

It's just that there's no chance!

But now... Seems like a great opportunity!

Cao Shuo has been eavesdropping outside the door, and he also deeply agrees with Guo Jia and Mao Jue's views.

In the past, the Shi clan really didn't do anything good.

Just talking about the loss of the Jin Dynasty is inseparable from the scholars.

The scholars are like princes, one by one, and they may threaten Cao Cao's rule at any time.

These people are not cleared now, and something big may indeed happen in the future.

"That's it!"

Cao Cao waved his hand at this time and said loudly to everyone: "The imperial examination system is beneficial to the country and the people, and in my opinion, it should not be cleared!" ”

After such a debate, Cao Cao also made up his mind in his heart.

The imperial examination cannot be abolished!
