Liu Bei said that he was busy with the assessment, and it was not all prevarication, the assessment should have been arranged in October, but it was delayed for a month, Liu Xi was also quite unhappy, after all, this was the first assessment of Yankang Year, and there was something wrong, I was afraid that this newly promoted Sikong would have to go home and rest immediately, but this time, Liu Sikong really can't be blamed for the problems, the main problem is that the number of students is too much.

Although the candidates from all over the country set off early and prepared to come, there were still candidates from Yang, Jiao, Liang, and the west of the states failed to arrive, the reason is very simple, the Chi Road was occupied, in the northwest, Xing Ziang is starting large-scale construction, countless labor, material transportation, occupy several roads, in order to ensure the safe arrival of materials, even these roads are not allowed pedestrians to pass by, which causes the candidates to be unable to arrive on time.

As for Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, of course, it is because Cao Situ is working there.

Liu Xi learned of these circumstances, so he allowed Liu Bei to postpone the time of the assessment, waiting for these candidates, Liu Xi is extremely important to this assessment, Liu Bei also does not dare to slack off, Situ is not in Luoyang, everything falls on him, this is also the first time he has presided over the major events of the court, he does not want any problems, in terms of questions, Liu Bei showed enough confidence in the official school, and directly let Guan Huabing and the three of them be responsible.

When all the candidates arrived, Liu Bei also arranged the examination room, waiting for them, the day of the assessment was still coming soon, a huge number of candidates were arranged in the military academy field, Gongsun Chan led the military students to be responsible for the supervision, Gongsun Chan was very happy, patrolling around the examination room all day, he was not able to participate in the assessment in his life, but now he can monitor these candidates, he thinks it is also good.

Gongsun Zhan's hideous appearance frightened the candidates from all over the world, and they asked about his identity, and after learning his identity, for some reason, the fear in his heart quietly turned into awe.

On November 17, the assessment officially began.

Or the four subjects as always, in these days, although some ministers said to increase the assessment subjects, or improve the subjects, but due to many obstacles, it has not been carried out, the candidates came to their positions in turn, began to assess, Liu Bei is with Cao Zhi and other officials, began to patrol around, I have to say, Liu Bei is still extremely partial to Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi was originally an official promoted by Yuan Shao.

When facing the next Sikong, he was also nervous, after all, every third prince will arrange his own henchmen, and will not use what the previous one left, but Liu Bei is different, he just arrived in Sikong Mansion, but he is the most affectionate to Cao Zhi, this kind of love even makes other officials a little jealous, Cao Zhi is very happy about this, but he also has some doubts in his heart, he doesn't know what talent he can make Sikong so loved, maybe just because of his father??

But his father, now in the temple can be said to have a bad reputation, because of the Yangzhou matter, please cook Cao Mengde's voice is almost resounding in the entire Luoyang, Liu Bei is also because of this for Cao Cao to speak, and is regarded as Cao Cao's comrade, the reputation in the court is also not good, within the three dukes, none of them are liked by the ministers, even Sun Jian, Sun Jian has achieved certain merits in these years, whether it is military innovation or drill innovation.

But the most important thing is that he is a main battle faction, he has been thinking about destroying Guishan, wanting to invade the southern Guishan, he tried to arrange the southern army on the border of Guishan, and ordered Zhang Liao to oppress Guishan, at the same time, in the trade with Guishan, he stopped the trade in military materials, all kinds of signs, can make the ministers guess what he meant, such a main battle faction of the Tai Lieutenant, retrospectively back to the period of the beheading mad Zhang Taiwei.

This year's Three Princes may be the most disgusted session in the hearts of the ministers, but there is no way, no one can take their place for the time being, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi These people, although they have the ability, they are still young, it is obviously unreasonable to let such a young boy serve as the third prince, and the ministers have no ability to get them down, so they can only obey their orders in disgust.

Looking at the candidates who were struggling to write, Liu Bei smiled, occasionally recalled his past, most of the candidates finished writing the article, and were checking it, when they saw a group of people walking in from outside the gate, a young and handsome man, surrounded by everyone, looked at them gently, and walked over, and at the same time he came in, Liu Bei and others were also taken aback, Liu Bei took everyone to salute and see.

At this time, many candidates naturally understood the identity of this person.

The candidates became excited, their faces turned red, and they all stood up and saluted.

Liu Xi waved his hand, helped Liu Bei, and then sat on the main seat, looking at the candidates' answers, the Son of Heaven sat on the main seat, which was a huge incentive for the candidates, the candidates scratched their ears and cheeks and thought, all of them were invested in the assessment, it was impossible to say that the Son of Heaven wanted to check their test papers in person, they thought in their hearts, the pen was also faster, looking at them writing, Liu Bei stood by Liu Xi's side, and did not dare to go away.

"Sikong, it's okay, you can do your own business, I'm just going to take a look..."

Liu Bei nodded, and then continued to patrol.

After the assessment was over, the candidates bowed again, and just left, Liu Xi also took out a few test papers, and looked at them carefully, this is the scripture assessment, Liu Xi also followed Yuan Shu to govern the scriptures back then, and he still knew a little about these, and looked at them at random, Liu Xi nodded, stood up, and asked: "Sikong, this assessment, nothing happened, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, everything is well."

"That's good, this time it's Yankang's first exam, but there can't be any accidents... You need to pay more attention..."

Liu Xi commanded a few times, and then left here.

After the Son of Heaven left, the officials in the examination room dared to breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Xi sat there, they were really frightened, they were afraid that something would go wrong, the one who didn't look long and secretly glanced at the other party's test papers, so that he couldn't raise his head in front of His Majesty, after all, these people are all officials of the official school platform, responsible for education, if they educate all candidates who cheat for personal gain, how should the Son of Heaven look at them?

returned to the Houde Palace, Liu Xi did not continue to look at the assessment, there was Liu Bei watching, it was enough, and he needed to pay more attention to the canal, Cao Cao was going to start work in Jingzhou, he was not polite, it directly showed that Yangzhou did not have a qualified assassin history, and the Taishou everywhere was even more unbearable, which was really unfair to Jingzhou, and he also sent a capable minister to Jingzhou, and it was best to change the Taishou.

This old Situ was even willing to give up his position as Situ, saying that he wanted to serve as the assassin in Jingzhou.

Liu Xi had a headache, of course he couldn't remove Cao Cao's position and let him do the history of Jingzhou, but he didn't have a good candidate in his heart, who could cooperate with Cao Cao to dig a canal and govern a state, Liu Xi was thinking, suddenly, he had some attention, and after thinking for a long time, he shouted: "Someone!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Qi Yue walked in and asked with a smile, "Country?" ”

Liu Xi looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi come over!" ”

Qi Yue bowed and hurriedly walked out.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the Houde Palace.

Liu Xi looked at them and greeted them enthusiastically, but he was thinking in his heart, these two people have great talents, he knows it, and they are enough to serve as a party leader, but if Kong Ming goes to Jingzhou, the young people in the temple will not be able to suppress Zhong Da, but if Zhong Da goes, then Kong Ming will be like this, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, although the qualifications and abilities can overpower these young people in the East Palace, but after all, they still have their own important things to do.

Guo Jia is in Shangshutai, nothing can get around him, Xun Yu is in the middle of the service, almost equal to Liu Xi's shadow, all Liu Xi's edicts are reviewed and issued through him, Liu Xi can't let Xun Yu leave, and it is impossible to distract Xun Yu, if Xun Yu doesn't come to help him, the mountains of copywriting on the case, I'm afraid that Liu Xi will never be able to finish it!!

Thinking of this, Liu Xi opened his mouth and said: "Two, now Cao Situ is going to start construction in Jingzhou, but this Jingzhou still lacks a capable minister... I thought about it for a long time, Jingzhou is really huge, you are still young, maybe you can't govern alone, so, I divided Jingzhou into two parts, with Jiangling as the boundary, divided into Jingnan, Jingbei, each of them ruled one place... Cooperate with Situ Gong to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou first... After a few years of governance, I will send someone to take over the affairs in your hands, what do you think? ”

When Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi heard this, they did not refuse, and nodded thoughtfully.

"You, who wants to go to Jingbei, who will go to Jingnan?" Tianzi asked with a smile.

Sima Yi turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang on the side, of course these two regions are different, Jingbei includes Xiangyang, Jiangxia, the richest areas, and Jingnan is the most backward and poorest area in Jingzhou, and Cao Cao dug a canal, Jingbei will definitely pass, can reap a lot of benefits, and can also use the power of Situ to develop, and Jingnan... It's hard to say.

Do you want to choose the most difficult Jingnan, or choose the rich Jingbei? This is a big problem, choosing Jingbei can be easily governed, but choosing Jingnan is extremely difficult, but if it is a big rule, then everyone in the world can see their talents!!

The two thought about it, and Sima Yi couldn't wait to say:

"I'm going to Jingbei!!"

Zhuge Liang looked at him a little blankly, speechless, Liu Xi is the same, in fact, Liu Xi has always thought that the two of them will compete for the position of going to Jingnan, and they may damage each other for a while, after all, they are all strong young people, who would have thought that Sima Yi opened his mouth to ask for Jingbei, Liu Xi has not eased up, but Zhuge Liang slowly said: "Okay, then I will go to Jingnan." ”

Liu Xi nodded, glanced at Sima Yi a little strangely, and agreed with their decision.

Sima Yi grinned, and glanced at Zhuge Liang with some pride, no matter how well you can govern Jing Nan, the world often sees the result, who cares what kind of region you take over?
