Three months later, Xiangyang City.

In the past three months, the city's officially run bookstores have popped up.

Until now, there have been nearly ten of them, scattered in many places in the city.

As soon as this move came out, the whole city was boiling, and everyone rushed to tell each other.

This is a good thing that has never been done before, and now you can read without looking at your background, regardless of whether you are high or low.

As long as you want, as long as you have qualifications, you can buy books for a few dozen dollars.

What made the people cheer even more was the official notice.

From now on, Xiangyang will hold a big exam every three years.

However, those who have excellent grades in the examination do not distinguish between high and low, regardless of their background.

As long as they are able, they can hold official positions.

At this moment, Mr. Xu's reputation exploded like thunder again.

In just three months, the whole world knew about it.

And the scholars who originally rebelled and were suppressed by Xu Tian.

Under Xu Tian's thunderous means, he handed over his official position and power.

thus saving their lives and losing their political capital.

It's like a cramped shrimp that can't jump anymore.

The vacancies left by them were basically filled by all kinds of talents recruited by Xu Tianqiu.

Jingzhou has once again undergone changes and sublimation...

……

Yecheng, the palace of the king of Wei.

Sima Yi walked respectfully in the mansion and went straight to the lobby.

He was leisurely feeding the fish at home, when he suddenly received an urgent call from Cao Cao, so he came in a hurry.

A moment later, Sima Yi came to the lobby.

When he saw the figure in the hall, he immediately prostrated on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Sima Yi meets the King of Wei!"

The figure standing with his back immediately turned around and helped the other person up.

"Sir, don't panic! It's me! ”

"Second son?" Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cao Pi, who looked a little nervous.

"Why is Childe here? Could it be that the King of Wei also summoned Gongzi? ”

"Not really, I'm here to wait for Mr."

Cao Pi shook his head, looked at Sima Yi and said.

"What is Childe's send? Please do what you ask! ”

"Sir! Now is the time of emergency.

My father is very old, and maybe one day he will...

So, there must be no accidents now!

Do you know? Mr! No accidents! ”

Cao Pi grabbed Sima Yi with an excited expression.

Because he was too hard, he grabbed Sima Yi and grinned for a while.

"The second son, don't be impatient! Calm down! ”

Hurriedly patted Cao Pi's hand, and Sima Yi spoke urgently.

He was afraid that the other party would be emotional, so he directly pinched his hand off!

"Childe is now a son, what are you still worried about?

Moreover, those words just now, Childe must not say them again!

If it reaches the ears of King Wei, then it will be a big trouble! ”

"I know, I know!" Cao Pi rubbed his hands, looking very anxious.

"But now it's different! Father has summoned Ziwen (Cao Zhang, Ziziwen) for three consecutive days!

And it was a night to talk, and the most important thing was that Ziwen had military power in his hands.

This has to make people think about it a lot! Sir, that's a serious sign! ”

Hearing this, Sima Yi's expression sank, and he slapped Cao Pi fiercely with his hand.

"I ask you! Who is the King of Wei? ”

"My father!"

"Who will determine the throne of your son?"

"My father!"

"So what are you afraid of? Panic what?! ”

Sima Yi shot straight so that the other party had nowhere to dodge.

"I tell you! If you continue like this, your position will really be lost! ”

slapped Cao Pi again, and Sima Yi spoke coldly.

"What about King Wei?"

"In the study!" Cao Pi said instinctively.

Until Sima Yi left for a long time, he was still standing in the hall, standing silently...

…

Inside the study.

Cao Cao, who was already in his sixties, sat at the table, his hair gray.

At this moment, Cao Cao's face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes.

In front of him, there was a chessboard, and it was the most critical time to play at this moment.

He likes to play chess, which not only calms his mind, but also makes it easier for him to think.

Suddenly, the door of the room was gently pushed open, and Sima Yi walked in extremely respectfully.

"Sima Yi meets the King of Wei!"

"It's coming! Come and play chess with me! Cao Cao didn't look at the other party, his eyes were still on the chessboard.

"Now this chess is in a dilemma, look at this sunspot.

If you go this way, you may have a chance to win, but you will definitely lose a lot!

If you do it another way, it may be easier to win, but if you make a mistake, there is no chance of saving!

It's you, how do you choose? ”

Cao Cao's eyes were always fixed on the chessboard, and he whispered to Sima Yi, who had just sat down.

"King Wei forgives the sin, if it is below, I will not choose either.

I'm like this..."

Sima Yi said, picked up a sunspot and placed it on top of one of them.

"I choose not to attack, trap it!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, looked at it for a long time, and finally smiled.

"I'm old, and my head is still not good! In the future, it seems that everything will depend on you! ”

As soon as Sima Yi heard this, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately got up.

stood opposite Cao Cao and knelt down.

"Zai Xia has no such intention, he just wants to do his best to help King Wei.

If King Wei doesn't trust me, I can go back and continue raising fish!" ”

"Hey, hey..."After a long time, the silent Cao Cao laughed again.

"Just kidding, Zhongda doesn't have to be nervous!"

As he spoke, Cao Cao glanced at the other party deeply.

"King Wei came to me for this!" Sima Yi took a deep breath and picked up a paper book on the table.

flipped through it casually, and it didn't take long to look at it, which made Sima Yi shocked.

"It's... I've heard that Xu Tian from Jingzhou did it. ”

Regarding Sima Yi's performance, Cao Cao had no surprises.

Even the moment he saw it at that time, he was a little distracted.

"Now, we are sunspots, and it's up to us where we go!"

As he spoke, Cao Cao looked at the black and white chessboard again.

"There's a plan in the bottom, I wonder if King Wei is willing to try?"

Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao with a flickering gaze.

"Tell me about it!" Cao Cao glanced at Sima Yi casually and said slowly.

"As long as the king of Wei orders it, give his daughter to him!

In this way, he became the son-in-law of the King of Wei.

Just put him under house arrest and let him do things for us completely and sincerely!

In this way, the existing situation can be maintained, and the problem can be solved!

As long as the other party has any abnormality, they can even be at any time... Kill him! ”

Sima Yi said all his thoughts in one breath,

"What if he refuses?" The corners of Cao Cao's mouth rose slightly, revealing a strange smile.

He didn't dare to refuse, he could only accept it! for he will not leave us with a mouthful.

Give us the excuse to send troops!

Therefore, he will definitely agree, and when the time comes, when he comes to greet him, we can..."

Speaking of which, Sima Yi did not continue.

He doesn't want to say too much, it's too blunt!

Because if you think you have figured out Cao Cao's mind, you have to show it off.

Then this person will be the second Yang Xiu......
