Maybe time can really smooth everything, sometimes Lu Xing can't help but think.

Zhong Yu didn't know when he had withdrawn, and there were only three of them left in the hall, and Lu Xing had always treated Xiaodou as his sister, and there was nothing wrong with saying that he was a brother and sister.

Although he often comes to the palace to walk around, Xiaodou is still. Oooh. is very restrained, even a little inferior, and when he speaks, he lowers his head, and does not dare to look at Lu Xing at eye level. Lu Xing didn't have anything important, so she was in a hurry to leave, and it was obvious that she could see the anxiety in her heart.

Lu Xing sighed secretly and said, "I don't have anything to do, how did you get here?" ”

Xiao Si is innocent, and he is idle all day long, of course, he can go anywhere, but Xiaodou is a sullen character, and it is the first time that he can take the initiative to come to Lu Xing's residence.

"I'm sorry we were in a hurry and disturbed my brother." Xiaodou was busy arguing, she didn't want to leave an impression that Shizi didn't know what was serious.

"It's not, it's obviously a nasty ghost bullying you, brother, you must be the master of Sister Xiaodou." Xiao Si couldn't help but look angry, his big eyes were bulging, obviously he was not angry, which was very different from the naïve attitude just now.

Lu Xing frowned, he knew that Xiao Si often called Lu Gou a nasty ghost behind her back, this was not the attitude she should have, if her father found out, I am afraid she would inevitably reprimand. put her on the ground, pressed her shoulders with both hands, half-squatted in front of Xiao Si, and said solemnly: "How many times have you been told that he is your brother like me, how do you want my father to deal with himself if you slander him like this?" ”

After all, she is still a child, so it's better not to involve her in these things.

Later, he told Xiaodou a few words, let her take care of Xiao Si back to the backyard, and he still has to attend a grand event, although it is not a very important event, but it is also an annual event, even his father Lu Bu will personally attend, he naturally can't be absent.

This event is the annual Keju Tournament, which has been held for the fifth year since it was held, and the event has developed from a few teams limited to Anyi City at the beginning, to a regional event in the entire Hebei region, and even a special ticketing agency, and the formation of fan culture.

Originally, the Keju Contest was only a competition to test the results of military training, but now its significance has gone far beyond the meaning of them, and the participating teams are not limited to the military, but also countless non-governmental organizations participate, this is a professional competitive competition, but it is far from being comparable to those exhibition matches in the past.

The tournament adopts a single knockout round, even so, dozens of participating teams have been competing for a month, and today's official closing ceremony is also the most important final day.

The two teams that made it to the finals were the special attack battalion from Liangzhou and the Fengshen Society from the folk of Anyi City. The special attack battalion is famous, and it is a strong team that has won the championship for four consecutive years, and it is naturally well-known, but this Fengshen Club is a sudden rise, from the original nameless, to last year's top ten, to this year, it defeated the traditional strong team known as the strongest camp, and got the ticket to the finals.

The president of the Divine Summit is none other than Lu Gou, who has always been competitive. He is not only the president of the God Summit, but also the absolute main force of the Keju team, serving as the main striker and attacker, and this winter, it can be regarded as making a big splash in Anyi City and earning enough popularity.

The closing ceremony was held in the north capital arena in the south of the city, the stadium was only completed this year, which has 30,000 seats, if you stand to watch, it is 100,000 people can also fully bear, just to build this arena, it cost five baht money and three million yuan, mobilize manpower to reach 10,000 people, and it took four years before and after to build.

Lu Bu also personally named the arena, in order to conform to the status of the northern capital of Anyi, it was specially named the Northern Capital Arena, and personally carried the pen and book.

In order to make this event more attractive, Lu Bu made people modify the rules of the event, from the original seven-person and nine-a-side system to the current eleven-a-side system, and referred to the experience of later generations on the rules, modified the size of the field, organized the playing field as grass, and changed the original solid ball to a leather hollow ball, so that the number of goals in the game was greatly reduced, and the goal process was more fascinating.

Lu Xing, as the prince, is within his jurisdiction of these trivial matters, and attending the grand ceremony is within his responsibility. But just before, he was framed and fined ten days of grounding, and without Lu Bu's permission, he was afraid that he would not even be able to leave the palace. Lu Bu naturally didn't know if he had other plans, but as a son of man, he had to have the consciousness of taking care of the overall situation, and he couldn't delay the major affairs of his family and country because of himself, and he couldn't ask Lu Bu for his life to see if he could suspend the punishment.

But Lu Xing didn't see his father, the guards said that the King of Jin had gone to the arena in advance, accompanied by Queen Yan Xiuli and the eldest lady Changping Hou, leaving only one sentence: You take care of your own affairs first.

Lu Xing could only miss this big event, and the palace seemed to be a lot quieter than before, Lu Xing felt the cold wind in the depths of winter, and only felt cold and biting.

When Lu Bu came back from the arena, it was already late at night, and the game originally started in the evening, and the game that could have ended early was played in overtime because of a tie, which made everyone watching the game too addicted.

"I didn't expect the kamikaze to be able to defeat the special attack battalion and win the crown, it's really unexpected." Lu Bu's face couldn't hide the excitement, his face was full of red light, and he didn't know if the fire in the house was too strong, or the weather outside was too cold.

"With your personal guidance, Gou Er is fortunate not to be dishonored." Yan Xiuli couldn't hear joy in her words, so she settled Xiaosi to rest, and cheered for half the night today, but she was tired, and she had already fallen asleep on the way here.

Lu Bu did make a cameo appearance as the head coach, but it was only a few quarters of an hour, and due to cultural restrictions, the Keju game is very different from football after all, and he is busy with government affairs, but he doesn't have so much spare time to guide the team, which shows that Yan Xiuli still has a lot of complaints about him guiding the Fengshen team to win.

The defeated special attack battalion belongs to Wei Yue in Liangzhou in terms of attribution, but the actual command is already Cao Bao and Qin Lang, and the relationship between the two of them is extraordinary, and the contradiction here is already obvious.

Of course, Lu Bu also knew what Yan Xiuli was thinking at the moment, she looked calm, but she still had a knot in her heart. Speaking of the people since Lu Gou entered the mansion, Yan Xiuli did not show too much dissatisfaction, and treated Lu Gou politely whenever she met her, and she never treated this foreign child harshly.

It's just that in the past few years, as Lu Xing and Lu Gou have grown up, both of them have been involved in political affairs, Lu Xing is engaged in political affairs, and Lu Gou is in the military, so there should be no interest involved, but Lu Gou is a competitive person, always trying to suppress his brother in the open and in the dark, so the smell of gunpowder between the two has already begun to take shape.

Lu Gou has moved to the barracks, and he will only return to the mansion to live temporarily during holidays or holidays at the end of the month, so he will not care about everyone in the mansion, except for Lu Bu, who is almost a stranger to others.

"Do you know why I'm grounding Koko?" Lu Bu asked slowly.

"It's not that Xing'er made a big mistake, didn't King Jin forget?" Whenever she is not in a good mood, Yan Xiuli always has such a tone, and her title has changed from husband to king of Jin.

Lu Bu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "You also saw that the two of them are fighting with me now, and they are almost in the same room, and half a month later is Xing'er's coronation ceremony, before this, the third child may have what kind of moves, and the grounding of Xing'er is also for his safety, if something happens halfway through, it is not a pity to mess up the crowning ceremony?" ”

"Heh, this is not a situation promoted by the King of Jin, a dignified prince of the King of Jin has forced a concubine to such a point, and he has to hide in the house to keep safe, isn't it a joke." Yan Xiuli had already heard about today's incident, and the unfair treatment that Lu Xing had suffered made her very angry, if she hadn't taken care of her face in front of the public, she wouldn't have waited until she returned home to have a seizure.

Lu Bu didn't know how to tell her about his plans, he couldn't say that he deliberately raised tigers to make Lu Gou a whetstone on Lu Xing's growth path, nor could he say that he could know the future and guess that there would be chaotic times in the future, so he had to sharpen an iron-blooded heir, not a bookish and gentle king.

"If Lu Xing can't even pass the third level, how can I still put this Nuoda's foundation in his hands, his temperament is too gentle now, and he is on the passive side in several-for-tat confrontations with the third child, although he can easily retreat with his whole body, but he still puts himself in a position that is despised by others, in the eyes of the ministers, this is not the quality that a male lord should have."

In Lu Bu's view, Lu Xing just has too many concerns, always thinking about balancing all aspects of containment and achieving a perfect balance, but he puts himself in an extremely disadvantageous position, which may be a commendable character for a courtier, but for a male lord who is destined to rule the world in the future, this will be his most fatal weakness, they all say that the heavenly family is ruthless, Lu Xing is love is too true, he really doesn't want his father to fall into a dilemma.

And Lu Gou doesn't have these concerns, in his eyes, as long as it is what he wants, he will go all out, he doesn't care what others think, including his father, he feels that he has suffered enough when he was a child, and now he can't ask for anything too much.

Yan Xiuli was slightly moved, she didn't expect her husband to think about it for so long, she also knew that what her son lacked was not decisiveness and perseverance, but ruthlessness and ruthlessness, many things were imprisoned by emotion, and it was inevitable that he would get in the way when he acted, and he didn't want others to be so simple. But she didn't want to forgive Lu Bu like this, she rolled her eyes and went to the backyard.

Lu Bu just shook his head, he doesn't have time to make the beautiful woman happy now, there are still a bunch of important official documents to be reviewed, many things are unfolding, thousands of things, all of them are unprecedented moves, none of them can leave his control, now he is the helmsman of the ship of the Great Han, the direction of travel is completely different from the original, what the fate of the future, Lu Bu will be responsible for him.

The next day, at the palace meeting, Lu Bu refuted the talent selection proposal of Zhongshu Ling, Chen Qun's nine-product Zhongzheng system has been implemented for many years, which is an important guarantee for Lu Bu to stabilize the power of all parties in Hebei, but after many years, the shortcomings of this policy have also appeared.

Officials at all levels recommended cronyism, and the evaluation of virtue was a mere formality, which made the power of the scholars rise, and the big clans in various places became the actual overlords of a place, and even the local officials had to retreat from three points, and even some officials were appointed and recommended by them. The central court's control over the local area was not even as good as that of the feudal system, which was one of the main reasons why foreign races were wreaking havoc in the Central Plains a hundred years later.

Of course, at this time, Lu Bu's power is still in full swing, but once Lu Bu is no longer there one day, then the growth posture of the local scholars will spring up after the rain, and it will become an endless trend.

The scholars are still literate, and they despise the warriors, once the scholars are in power, it is tantamount to cutting off their backbones, and this unhealthy trend can never be repeated in their own hands. It is said that taking history as a mirror, in the face of knowing that disasters may occur in the future, Lu Bu must sail against the current and strangle this unhealthy trend in the cradle.

Zhongshu ordered Zhong Xuan to draft the official selection system, but he himself was born in a scholar family, so the draft proposal made Lu Bu very disappointed, isn't this a copy of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system? Change the soup and not change the medicine, if it's just like this, what is the need for him to get these rights and wrongs.

"Now the officials are poor, and the officials at all levels are much better than when they were in the first emperor, so it can be seen that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system is much superior to the original expropriation system, which can not only benefit the people, but also unite the villagers.

The person who spoke was none other than Chen Qun, the maker of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and no one would tolerate the fruits of his labor being questioned, let alone a good governance that proved to be very useful.

"Ahem." A cough, the military priest who had not spoken for a long time said: "I think the concerns of the King of Jin are not all unreasonable, the power of the Shi clan is too large, and it will not be beneficial to the future development of our dynasty, and it will even be a big trouble, you can imagine, local officials at all levels are recommended by the original officials from all over the country, and the recommended people are all famous people from local families, even if there is an official resume to be queried, but no matter how upright a person is, he will not forget his origin, and in the long run, the power of the Shi clan will grow indefinitely, In the end, I think it is necessary to revise the existing policy on the selection of talents. Since it is a selection of talents, it should be eclectic and recruit heroes from all over the world, which should be a sign of prosperity. ”

Lu Bu heard some pleasant words, although Pang Tong was also from the Shi clan, he was a poor family of the Shu clan, between the Shi clan and the commoners, and he was a class that did not rely on either end, it was precisely because of this that he knew a lot about the power of the Shi clan, and even Pang Tong couldn't help but feel awe.

"When the gentleman says eclectic, does he mean that he wants to include the poor?" Shang Shuling Wang Ji is a big clan of scholars, and he has an in-law relationship with Cai Yong and others, so he can definitely be said to be the core figure in the scholar clan, and he obviously disagrees with Pang Tong's words.

"Exactly."

"Haha, it's not that my generation is unruly and underestimates the heroes of the world, but the talented and learned people in the scholar clan are the foundation of my dynasty, the poor are poor, the pen and ink of books are very valuable, and even the people who can write are only a handful, among these people, there can be a few available people, but they are just gravel in the sand."

"In this case, what other concerns do you have, since the scholar clan has an absolute advantage, why not open up the scope of employment, and collect the hearts of commoners for King Jin?" Pang Tong saw Wang Ji on the sleeve and followed his words.

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, only then did he know that he had lost his words, this Pang Tong was only afraid that he was deliberately arousing everyone's competitiveness, so he was waiting for him to drill in, you must know that among the officials present, almost nine percent of them were from the Shi clan, and it was difficult to implement such a policy, although Lu Bu did not say it explicitly, but his intention was already obvious, that is, to weaken the influence of the Shi clan, in order to expand the selection range of talents, to dilute the power that has gradually become stronger in the Shi clan.

But now that he said a word, there was no reason to take it back, he had always been a proud person, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to nod and say: "Since the prime minister has a life, I will ask people to redraft the proposal and report it to the prime minister, but whether it can be done or not, I can't guarantee it." ”

Lu Bu naturally knows that such a policy must be full of resistance, even the Shuangshang Shu Zhong Xuan and Wang Ji, who have been in the same boat with him, are so difficult to pass, not to mention others, but this policy should be sooner rather than later, and it will be difficult to be a minute late, Lu Bu is to take advantage of the fact that the scholar clan has not fully grown up, and the power to select talents is in the hands of the court, and the imperial examination system is an important guarantee that power can be concentrated in the government.

Wang Yu relented, and the others did not dwell on this matter, not to mention that Sima Lang, who was also from the scholar clan, supported Lu Bu's new policy, Jia Xu was born in a poor family, and he was also a loyal supporter of Lu Bu, Yang Xiu and Chen Lin were away on business, and the military advisers in the court plus several important ministers all agreed to reformulate the new policy, and this matter was finally conclusive.

Later, Chen Hai, who wrote the pen, presented the report selected by Lu Bu last night, which was sent from Chen Lin in Yanzhou, which specifically mentioned that Cao Cao of Dongjun was critically ill and seemed to not be able to survive this year. He also suggested that Lü Bu strengthen the defense of Yanzhou and Xuzhou in case Dongjun and Qingzhou fell into chaos after Cao Cao's death.

Lu Bu asked everyone, although Cao Cao's strength was greatly weakened, and his military and financial resources were less than one-tenth of what they used to be, Qingzhou and Dongjun were both places to raise soldiers, and these five or six years of recuperation were enough for Cao Cao to recover a lot.

But since the defeat of Yangzhou, Cao Cao was seriously injured, the condition has been repeated over the years, never healed, these two years is bedridden, I heard that even the hand has to be served, the wind candle is a stroke in the last years, Qingzhou affairs will be taken care of by the eldest son Cao Pi.

But the worst thing is that Cao Pi is in Qingzhou, and Cao Cao is in Dongjun, since Cao Cao was bedridden, the second son Cao Zhi took over the defense of Dongjun in the name of filial piety and respect for the elderly, and Cao Cao's forces have actually split into Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

"Cao Cao didn't die a few times, I think this time is the same as the previous times, maybe it's a busy job again, I think it's better to wait and see, if Cao Cao is really dead, then Cao Pi in Qingzhou will definitely make a move, Cao Zhi is close to the water, and he is known for his resourcefulness, and he has the support of Xun Yu, Li Yu and others, and there are generals such as Xiahoudun under his command. At that time, I am afraid that it will be a game of two tigers, and we just need to wait for the benefit of the fisherman, so why bother too much. ”

Tian Feng didn't take Cao Cao to heart, in his opinion, a person who was about to die and a person who had been defeated repeatedly, it was a great miracle that Lu Bu was able to accommodate him to live until now. Qingzhou with Cao Cao is not worth mentioning, the guest situation is a Qingzhou without Cao Cao, it is just minced meat in a bowl, and it is just eaten in the belly in the morning and evening.

Sima Lang looked solemn, shook his head and said: "Cao Pi should have already set off for Dongjun, Cao Cao's power is deep-rooted, it is the hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, if Cao Pi returns to Dongjun, he is the eldest son, and the inheritance of the foundation is justifiable, Cao Zhi will be vulnerable." ”

"Cao Pi he dares, we tried our best to promote the actual split of Cao Cao's forces, just to prevent them from reuniting, if he Cao Pi dares to do this to break the contract, he is not afraid that the King of Jin will lead a large army to the city?" Gao Rou was born in Tingwei, and his temperament is always a little cheerful, and he has always despised Cao Cao, let alone his son.

Lu Bu nodded and asked, "There must be a reason why Boda said this, why are you sure that Cao Pi is already on his way to Dongjun?" ”

"I don't know what Cao Pi will do, but the person he relies on the most is his brother Sima Yi, my younger brother has always been scheming, no matter what will be calculated first, this time Cao Cao's critical illness seems to be different from the past, it is estimated that it is really difficult to survive this year. With Zhongda's heart, he will secretly go to Dongjun to hibernate, and he will never wait for Cao Cao to die of illness and stand in a disadvantageous place. ”

Lu Bu frowned, the development of this matter seemed to be out of his control, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the change in Dongjun is imminent, since the wind and clouds will not treat me when the wind and clouds suddenly change, then it is time for the wind to rise." ”

"Congratulations to King Jin, I will finally get my wish fulfilled." Jia Xu got up and smiled.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Oh? Where does my joy come from? ”

Jia Xu is such a good person, of course he knows that Lu Bu is going to declare his own decision through his own mouth, this kind of mouthpiece, of course Jia Xu will not shirk, and immediately said: "Cao Pi did not keep the promise made by his father, blatantly overturned the agreement he made with the King of Jin, regardless of the safety and life of the people in Qingzhou and Dongjun, perverse, openly rebelled, the King of Jin planned the world, and should be the king of Xing to crusade, with the division of justice in Huanghuang, be sure to let him stop the precipice, and know his way back." ”
