Hearing Cai Yong say this, Zhang Wen's face was complicated, he hesitated for a long time, sighed, and then sat in his place, drinking bitter wine, and did not speak, although he was belligerent, but he could hear that Cai Yong was not a naughty remark, after all, friends for more than ten years, if they didn't communicate with each other at this time, it seemed to be a little worthless.

And Cao Cao and the others were also a little disappointed when they saw Zhang Wen's reaction, and naturally hated Cai Yong even more, but they didn't say it explicitly, when Cao Cao directly revealed his political intentions, the scene fell into cold silence again, but the Son of Heaven smiled and said: "On the day of joy these days, don't talk about this, everyone drink it!" ”

Hearing the orders of the Son of Heaven, everyone did not dare to disobey, so they became enthusiastic again, the old ministers still maintained opposing opinions on the establishment of the state minister, and Cao Cao did not continue to persecute them, he knew that there was no harmony between the old ministers, for example, Cui Wei had absolutely no opinion on this matter, he was squinting at the moment, drooping his head, and was not sober.

And although Zhang He is an old minister, he is completely a confidant of the Son of Heaven, and only listens to the opinions of the Son of Heaven, and now after pacifying the east, he has set his sights on the southwest corner, Zhang He will never dare to raise objections, and Zhang Wen, Cao Cao They feel that Zhang Wen is even more belligerent than his own imperial faction, if it were not for Cai Yong, I am afraid that he would have been shouting to cut off the head of King Funan now.

Radu couldn't pull him.

In other words, among this group of old ministers, as long as Cai Yong and Lu Zhi can be convinced, the rest of them are not obstacles, but Cai Yong and Lu Zhi are generally strong in temperament, and they are by no means easy to bow their heads... Cao Cao squinted his eyes, stepped forward, repeatedly toasted Lu Zhi, invited him to dance, and talked enthusiastically: "Can Duke Lu recognize Donghao Taishou Liu Bei?" ”

"My protégé too."

"Haha, if that's the case, Lu Gong is very good, Liu Xuande is also a master, Donghao today and yesterday, it is not an exaggeration...."Cao Cao and Liu Bei are familiar with each other, and Liu Bei has also learned about Lu Zhi's affairs, and Lu Zhi talked enthusiastically, and did not forget to ask some political affairs in Hezhou, Lu Zhi has not returned to the temple, he has governed Hezhou for a long time, and he has a lot of feelings for the politics and people in the eastern part of the Han Dynasty.

And Cao Cao's deliberate actions did resonate with Lu Zhi, and the two began to chat about various interesting things in the east, such as Buyeo, Goguryeo, Donghao, etc., and when they talked about some interesting things, they couldn't help laughing, but Lu Zhi felt a little uncomfortable, as if someone was staring at his back, he turned around, that person was Cai Yong, Cai Yong stared at him, and his eyes were completely dissatisfied.

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly, said goodbye and left, and sat back next to Cai Yong.

"Gong and Cao Ah had a very happy conversation, so why should they come back?" Cai Yong asked with some displeasure.

Lu Zhi shook his head with a smile and said, "The public doesn't have to be like this, private feelings and state affairs, Zhi will never dare to confuse them." ”

"What's the fun thing to ask? Let Lu Gong be so out of shape? ”

"I have a disciple, called Gongsun Zhan, don't you know, he actually recruited a group of Donghao people and set up a Xiaoyong camp..."He said halfway, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, not far away, Liu Mo was looking at him, Lu Zhi smiled a little embarrassedly, Cai Yong didn't know the temperament of Donghao people, and he didn't know what was funny about this matter, but Liu Mo was a little excited.

"General Gongsun turned out to be a disciple of Lu Gong, no wonder he fought bravely, countless achievements, and thanks to my Donghao disciples, how many years, I Donghao suffered a lot of humiliation, I never thought that under the command of General Gongsun, I also got the name of bravery, and fought against Goguryeo, often won more with less, and even captured the king of Goguryeo, such great achievements, I really can't believe it, Cai Gong doesn't know, my Donghao people have always been not warlike, we have fish and shrimp there...."

Cai Yong turned his head and looked at Lu Zhi, his eyes were extremely complicated, Lu Zhi understood what he meant, what did you say about Donghao? ?

After most of the banquet, Zhang Wen and Cai Yong and others drank freely, the ministers were a little drunk, even the Son of Heaven was the same, some couldn't raise their heads, but Cui Gong was as usual, there was no drunkenness, obviously he also drank a lot, looking at Cai Yong and the others couldn't raise their heads, Zhang Wen secretly stood up, held the wine cup, walked to the side of the Son of Heaven, and said: "The ministers respect Your Majesty." ”

The little fat man smiled and picked up the wine cup.

Zhang Wen drank the wine, looked around like a thief, approached the Son of Heaven, and whispered: "If Your Majesty has the intention of pacifying the southwest, please give the minister 4,000 people, and the minister will be able to cut off the head of the king of Funan Zhenla within three months and present it to the king..."

The little fat man was stunned, nodded stunned, and said, "I know..."

And at this time, there was a sudden noise in the banquet, so frightened that Zhang Wen hurriedly returned to his position, the little fat man turned his head to look, but it was Xun Yu and Guo Jia who almost fought, Cao Cao didn't expect such a thing, he was still waiting for the conflict between the ministers, but he didn't expect that it was his own people who took the lead in starting to do it.

The reason is very simple, Xun Yu just asked Guo Jia, can he borrow the prince's "Theory of the Hidden Husband" to watch one or two?

Guo Jia replied drunkenly: "You are not good at agriculture, how can you understand "The Theory of Hidden Husbands"? ”

Suddenly, the two fought in front of the ministers, watching them beat each other, Cao Cao, Xun You These courtiers were frightened, trembling all over, looking at the Son of Heaven, those old ministers were extremely calm, after He Xiu Wang Fu These people, they are used to these ordinary fights, Zhang Wen even drank wine, and said with some disdain: "A generation is not as good as a generation, compared to He Zi's martial arts, they are far behind..."

Cao Cao and the others hurriedly pulled them away, and the banquet finally ended in a brawl, and the two were also severely punished by the Son of Heaven.

......

The next day, Cao Cao and others began to act, naturally advocating a war against the southwest, and it was not a war, although their purpose was to make the entire southwest corner a direct subordinate territory of the Han Dynasty, rather than a nominal jurisdiction, and was deeply influenced by He Zi, at this time the scholars and the people were biased towards the belligerent side, and most of He Zi's ideas were instilled in these next generation of Han people.

The Han Dynasty is the chosen country, the Son of Heaven has the mandate of heaven, and the mandate of heaven is to educate the Quartet, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, the country of the southwest barbarians, who do not understand etiquette and education, should be taught with literature and etiquette. Didn't they all become the people of the Han Dynasty?

Only the old ministers of the same period as He Zi were not disturbed by such thoughts, they still stuck to their own opinions, the country is warlike and will die, there is no problem with this sentence, if the Han is blindly warlike, such as letting a guy like Zhang Wen become Situ, no longer thinking about governing the country, no longer thinking about benefiting the people, then the Han will die in the hands of these reckless men sooner or later.

You don't see, in the past Xiaowen and Xiaojing period, how strong the national strength was, and the Han Dynasty was thriving, but during the period of Emperor Xiaowu, the Han Dynasty repeatedly used troops abroad, and the final result did not lead to a significant decline in national strength? In the late reign of Emperor Xiaowu, there was even a chaotic situation in the Han Dynasty, and the ministers did not want to go through such a period again, and at the same time they hated the Ram Confucian Sheng.

If it weren't for the scruples about the relationship between Dangzi and He Zi today, I am afraid that the remarks against He Zi would have already emerged in an endless stream at this moment.

Since there is a mastiff, the little fat man has been with him for a lot of time, when he can see the queen, he is holding the little guy, let the little guy see his mother, Queen Cai cried with joy, she is extremely worried these days, for fear that the birth is not a son, now seeing his son, the heart is indescribably happy, the little fat man also teased her, saying that the mastiff is too lonely, why not give him a brother and sister.

In the fourth year of Xiping, at the beginning of the year, many conclusions in the southwest were still not unified, and the ministers still held their own views and refused to back down, but other things have made obvious progress, such as the admission of Taixue Menzixue, in January, the temple conducted the initial assessment of the students of the official schools in various places, and the test papers were all produced by Cai Yong alone, which was not too difficult or too easy.

After the assessment, a total of 4,600 official students passed, Taixue asked more than 700 of them, and the rest completely entered the Menzi School.

In February, these students gathered at the gate of Taixue and Menzixue, and with excitement, they stepped into the holy land of scripture.

When you arrive in Luoyang, the first thing you need to go to is naturally the Jianning Stone Scripture, which is the place that the scholars dream of, recording all kinds of scriptures completely and accurately, everyone is fascinated by it, standing in front of the Stone Scripture, one stop is a few days, the entrance of the Tai Academy becomes crowded again, this is also a common scene, and the students of the Tai Academy are not surprised.

Cai Yong also specially prepared some food and sleeping mats for these students.

"Hahaha, I don't know how Emperor Xiaokang thought that this stone scripture can play such a big role, so that these people can stand for a few days without eating or drinking, amazing, strange...."In the crowd, a burly fat man said with a smile, surrounded by several followers, completely bowing his head, this fat man was dressed very extraordinary, wearing a long sword at his waist, and actually commented on Emperor Xiaokang.

"The meaning of the Son of Heaven, how can you guess?" Suddenly, a scholar stood up angrily and asked with some annoyance, the fat man was stunned, and quickly shook his head and said, "Don't be angry, really... didn't speculate about the Son of Heaven, just sighed...."

"Seeing that you are also a rich and noble family, if there is no Holy Son of Heaven, you will be rich today?"

"Surely not..."

"Humph!" The gentleman snorted coldly, and ignored him.

The fat man smiled awkwardly, looked at the burly man next to him, and asked in a low voice, "Father has been dead for four years, and the people still think about it like this?" ”

"It's... Emperor Xiaokang is merciful..."The burly man said with some hesitation.

"Well, Zhang Jun doesn't have to be afraid, I understand, hahaha, one day, I... And so it will be! The fat man's eyes were extraordinarily resolute, and the burly man smiled and said in a low voice: "Like today, he is also a wise king, and he is deeply loved by the courtiers and the people in the government and the opposition..."

"It's far inferior to his father...."The fat man whispered, his face was a little lonely, but he quickly cheered up and said: "This Luoyang should also be expanded again, you see, can there still be pedestrians on this street?" It's so crowded, and the Yang Order doesn't even play...."

Zhang He looked at the Son of Heaven with some embarrassment, he really wanted to tell the Son of Heaven that it was only with His Majesty's figure that he would feel... cough cough, but for the sake of his own head, he still didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only nod and agree: "That's how it should be..."

"The Yang Order... I remember it was.. Zhong Xuan? ”

"This is the person..."

"Hmm..."

The fat man was about to leave, but he heard a noise in the distance, frowned, and looked over, it turned out that outside the gate of the Tai Academy, a group of people were making noise, but they didn't know what they were arguing about, and the number of people gathered around was gradually increasing, the fat man walked over with his entourage, and at the gate of the Tai Academy, two soldiers were talking to a group of people.

said that it was a group of people, but it was just two entourages, who were hugging a horned child, arguing with the soldiers.

The fat man was a little curious, so he stopped and listened.

"Without a written letter, you can't meet Cai Gong in person."

"The kid will never dare to deceive the second gentleman, the letter has been stolen, as long as I see Cai Gong and compare the list, you can know my identity, and I hope that the second gentleman can be accommodating, the kid is not messing around..." ”

The scholar beside him looked at him and said: "Huijun, this kid claims to be a student of official school, has passed the assessment, and came to Taixue, but he can't get a letter, saying that it was stolen, and he wants to see Cai Gong, but the soldier is not allowed to enter..."

The fat man looked at the kid for a long time, and said in disbelief: "How can such a young child pass the assessment?" Hundreds of thousands of students, but more than 4,000 people have been admitted, has my Han scholar been reduced to such a state? ”

"Haha, I think, this kid is just messing around, Cai Gong personally made the question, and the ones who can pass are those who are talented but have no money to enter the Taixue Sect. This kind of kid is just messing around, but I don't know why the entourage didn't stop it..."

When the fat man heard this, his eyes were a little happy, and he watched eagerly.

The burly man on the side coughed and said, "Family master, shouldn't we go back?" ”

"What's the hurry, look at it for a while, hahaha, don't you know, when I was young, it was the same, and I put Yuan... Two gave a violent beating... At that time, I was beaten by my father..."The fat man said with a smile.

No matter how the kid argued, the soldier just wouldn't let him in, and the surrounding soldiers began to coax and tease the kid.

"Why don't you believe it, if you don't believe it, I will recite many classics for you..." Hahaha, boy, I think you still don't want to mess around, go to your mother...."

The crowd laughed.

The kid defended for a long time, but no one listened to him, only cared about ridicule and teasing, and received such a humiliation, the kid's face was red, and his eyes were also angry, he raised his head, looked at the majestic and continuous Taixue, and said loudly:

"I, Zhuge Liang, will never learn too much for half a step in my life!"
