Gwangjong.

"Congratulations to the three of you, especially Xuande~" Li Yi looked at Cao Cao and the three of them and smiled. In this imperial court's reward, Cao Cao was promoted to the prime minister of Jinan, Sun Jian was also promoted to Sima of other departments, and Liu Bei was appointed as the county lieutenant of Anxi County.

It seems that Liu Bei is the most miserable, but he is just a county lieutenant. However, strictly speaking, among the three people, Liu Bei's reward is actually no worse than the others.

Cao Cao used to be a cavalry captain, and now he has been promoted to Jinan and has also been cut from a rank ratio of 2000 stone to a rank of 2000 stone, intuitively, that is, the moon has increased from 100 to 120 hundred. And what about Sun Jian? The original Zuojun Sima had a rank ratio of 600 stones, but now it has become another Sima with a rank ratio of 1,000 stones.

Only Liu Bei, who was originally white, was appointed as a military candidate by Lu Zhi, but it was only a military position, not an official position. And now, although he is only a county lieutenant with a rank of 400 stones, Liu Bei has directly transformed from a white body to a court official. And this is the most important thing for Liu Bei. You must know that before Sun Jian followed Zhu Jun to quell the rebellion, he was just a local county magistrate, and the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant were at the same level.

"Alas, I just don't know when we will see each other again......" Liu Bei sighed when he heard this.

I have to say that it is absolutely not unreasonable that Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian can become the founders of Wei Shu and Wu in the future. Although Li Yi has made a lot of efforts in it, the three of them can become friends with each other, but it is impossible to rely on Li Yi's help. Perhaps, the so-called sympathy is like this, right? Although there is a big gap between them in terms of status, as long as they understand each other at a deeper level, they can't help but be attracted by the talents shown by each other.

"Haha~ How can there be a banquet in the world that will not be dispersed? Xuande doesn't have to be so sad. Li Yi laughed when he heard this.

"Haha~ Zikang is right! It's a gaffe. Liu Bei laughed when he heard this.

The three of them said their final goodbyes, because of this farewell, God knows when they will see each other again, just chatting and chatting, the three of them suddenly turned their heads to look at Cao Cao, because they suddenly found that Cao Cao, who usually talks the most, didn't say a word today.

"Mengde, what are you thinking? It can't be really reluctant to give us, right? Seeing this, Li Yi quipped.

Just hearing this, Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Li Yi, although he didn't speak, his serious expression obviously told the three of them that Cao Cao was not sad.

"Zikang, I have something to say to you." Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Liu Bei didn't ask much, but said goodbye to everyone directly, and then left with Zhang Fei and others. And Sun Jian also said a few goodbyes to Cao Cao, and then turned around and left. As a Sima of other departments, he returned to Luoyang directly with the army.

And after the two left, Cao Cao turned around and walked directly outside the city, seeing this, although Li Yi was strange, he still followed. There was nothing to say all the way, until he came to a hidden place, Cao Cao looked at Li Yi and asked in a deep voice, "Zikang, do you know what it means for you to go to Jingshi this time?" ”

"Huh?" Li Yi frowned immediately when he heard this, but he didn't answer, because he knew that since Cao Cao suddenly said such words, there would inevitably be afterwords.

"It means that you will officially enter the court and participate in the struggle of the court. At that time, if you don't choose your position, Zikang, you are likely to worry about your life! Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Li Yi was silent, and from Cao Cao's expression, he knew that Cao Cao was not joking. At the same time, he is no longer the ordinary person in his previous life, the books he has read, and the exchanges with Cai Yong, Qiao Xuan and others have made him understand a term better, politics.

"Are you saying that I might get caught up in a struggle between the scholars and the eunuchs?" Li Yi asked in a deep voice.

"It's not all." When Cao Cao heard this, he showed an expression that was really like this, as if he had long known that Li Yi would say this. "The struggle between the scholars and the eunuchs is nothing more than a struggle on the table. Secretly, the scholars and doctors were not as united as they seemed. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Li Yi to speak, Cao Cao continued, "You know? Not long ago, I received a secret letter from my family, and it was the family who asked me something about you. ”

"Your Excellency wants to hear from me?" Li Yi frowned again when he heard this, he remembered that Cao Cao had mentioned his father, who was the great Si Nong of the dynasty. And now, when the great Sinong actually understood himself through Cao Cao? Although Li Yi knew that he had indeed made a lot of contributions, he ...... It doesn't seem like there's a need to do that as the Great Si Nong, right?

"Yes, although Jiajun didn't mention much in the letter, I think that if there is nothing unusual on the side of the court, Zikang's military exploits alone are not enough to alarm Jiajun." Cao Cao nodded and said.

Although he is Cao Teng's adopted son, he is not as incorruptible as his adoptive father, but often uses his power to embezzle and accept bribes, but because of the connections left by Cao Teng and Cao Song's careful nature, he never offends people easily. made him come all the way, but he didn't experience any twists and turns. But it was precisely because of this that Cao Cao felt strange, because his family monarch never liked to ask about things that had nothing to do with him.

"Well......" Hearing this, Li Yi groaned, thinking about how much impact his entry into Beijing might have, but he just thought about it, but he didn't have a clue. Because he really didn't know what impact he could have on the court with these military exploits. After all, no matter what, he is just an outgoing general, and he has no foundation in the DPRK.

Seeing that Li Yi was pondering, Cao Cao said again, "According to my previous experience in the court, this time Zikang, you enter Beijing, and the reward for coming to the Holy Lord must not be low. Coupled with Zikang, you are young, and you are a disciple of Huangfu Gong and Zhang Gong, the general is likely to be hostile to you. ”

"Is it because of those protégés of my teacher?" Li Yi asked strangely.

"Not bad! As a disciple of the two Huangfu Dukes, and at the same time, the Qiao Gong admires you very much, so their protégés will naturally look at you differently. In addition, you have made great contributions, and the Holy Lord attaches great importance to you, so it is difficult not to attract the hostility of the general. After all, he was only a butcher, and he relied on his sister's relationship to sit in the position of a general. Because of this, there are many scholars who look down on him, and who are worried that the dictatorship of his relatives will happen again, and do not want to see him monopolize power. Cao Cao said with a serious expression.

"Tut, it seems that the position of the general is not very stable." Li Yi said with a strange smile when he heard this, Li Yi was not surprised by Cao Cao's words, because Cai Yong, Qiao Xuan and others had all kinds of contempt for He Jin in front of him more than once.
