PS: Thank you Xingyu Feiyun and Brother Yating for the tip, thank you. New books are uploaded, and lots of advice.
Prime Minister's Mansion, Council Hall.
Almost all the civil and military ministers of the Cao group were concentrated in the meeting hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the civil and military forces sat on both sides of the main seat. At this time, Cao Cao was changing clothes in the backyard, because today's protagonist our little Cao Shuang had not yet arrived, so Cao Cao took advantage of his free time to change into court clothes.
"Big brother, what did you say Meng De summoned us for?" The big man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes and a heroic face gently turned to the side and whispered to the one-eyed man sitting on top of him. The one who spoke was Xiahou Yuan, and the one-eyed man was Xiahou Yuan, the general of the Cao clan. "I don't know, just wait." Xiahoudun's lips moved slightly, then he sat still and stopped talking.
The civil officials are headed by Xun Yu and sit on the side of the main seat. The generals sat on the other side of the main throne headed by Xiahou Dun, and Cao Zhen, as the Cao clan, also had a seat in the hall, not to mention that today's protagonist was his son. "The prime minister has arrived~" With the powerful shout of the tiger guard, Cao Cao, who was dressed in a red robe, came to the main seat, Cao Cao knelt on the main seat with a slight flick of his front, and saluted all the civil and military forces in the hall, "Meet the Prime Minister." Cao Cao gently helped, "Excuse me." ”
And Cao Shuang, who was waiting outside the Prime Minister's mansion, had a heartbeat, and he had to face Cao Cao, who was a capable minister who ruled the world and a traitor in troubled times. There are still many famous generals of the Three Kingdoms who can only be seen in novels, and Cao Shuang at this time is like a fanatical star chaser in later generations, and he is very excited.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I'm calling you here today. It's for you to test my grandchildren with me. Cao Cao said unhurriedly.
Except for Cao Zhen, all the civil and military officers in the hall were stunned, "I don't know who the prime minister mentioned?" The person who spoke was white-haired and white-bearded, and this person was Cheng Yu, an old minister of the Cao family.
Cao Cao smiled slightly, "Cao Shuang, the son of Cao Zhen." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Cao Shuang is only six years old this year, so why should Cao Cao personally test it. The black-faced scribe on one side of Wenchen had his eyes half-open and half-closed, as if he hadn't woken up yet, and his face was indifferent. This person is Jia Xu, who is known as a poisonous man, and when Cao Cao said this, a glimmer of light flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and no one noticed it at all.
Cao Cao got up and came to the middle of the hall, "What this son wishes in his life is that Wen can put pen to paper to settle the world, and Wu can go on the horse to determine the world." Hearing this, everyone wanted to see this son even more, and Cao Cao whetted everyone's appetite, "Although Cao Shuang is small, it is really extraordinary to have this ambition." There is less carving under age, and it is still a piece of jade. ”
At this time, many people have already understood Cao Cao's intentions, and today's name is a test, which is actually a teacher. "Today, you and Gu will test this son together, if this son's performance is still passable, I hope you can give me advice." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal Cao Shuang. A tiger guard hurriedly galloped to convey Cao Cao's order.
Cao Shuang, who was summoned by Cao Cao, straightened his clothes and walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion with his head held high. The sides of the corridor were stained with tiger guards with knives, and although Cao Shuang's heart was pounding, Cao Shuang's face did not show it. In the eyes of Cao Cao and the civil and military forces, this child is not simple, and other six-year-old children are afraid that they will already be scared and cry at this time. The Tiger Guards all followed Cao Cao to fight everywhere and crawled out of the pile of dead, and the momentum on their bodies invisibly made people feel a sense of oppression, and these Tiger Guards were specially arranged by Cao Cao. But Cao Shuang was not affected at all, which is inseparable from the ability that Cao Shuang exercised as a salesman in his previous life.
"Cao Shuang meets the Prime Minister, the generals, gentlemen." Cao Shuang had a clear eye and saluted everyone present. Regarding the salute, Cao Shuang is a gentleman who has specifically consulted the private school, because Cao Shuang has to face Cao Cao and the entire Cao Group, so he can't be negligent, although he is only a six-year-old child.
"Shuang'er, do you know why you came today?" Cao Cao sat back on the throne and asked lightly.
Cao Shuang replied, "Apprentice." ”
"Why apprenticeship? Who to learn from? Cao Cao continued to ask.
"For Wen Neng to put pen to peace in the world, Wu Neng immediately decided the world. Those who reach are teachers. Cao Shuang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Many people in the civil and military forces on both sides nodded with satisfaction, and Cao Cao smiled slightly, "A good master is a teacher, since this is the case, let everyone here test you, and if anyone is willing to accept you as an apprentice, it depends on you." "Cao Cao made such a big scene for Cao Shuang to choose a teacher, who dares not to accept Cao Shuang, isn't that a naked slap in Cao Cao's face. Jia Xu looked at Cao Shuang in the hall, thoughtful, but he still had an indifferent expression on his face.
"Then the old minister will come up with a question first." The one who spoke was Xun Yu, Xun Lingjun, who was called my son's room by Cao Cao.
Cao Shuang bowed, "Sir, please." ”
"Childe doesn't need to be polite, the old man's topic is what Childe just mentioned, 'the master is the teacher'." Xun Yu gently stroked the long beard under his forehead.
Cao Cao waited with interest for Cao Shuang's answer, but Cao Zhen sweated for Cao Shuang. Cao Shuang was secretly very happy, the master came to the teacher's "Persuasion", Cao Shuang was forced to copy dozens of times by the Chinese teacher, and now every word and sentence is vivid, and it is easy to come. "Ancient scholars must have teachers. Teacher, so preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts. If people are not born to know, how can they be free from confusion? If you are confused and do not follow the teacher, it is confused, and you will not be able to solve it. Before I was born, he heard the Tao before me, and I learned from him; After being born to me, he heard the Tao before me, and I learned from him. My teacher is also the way, and the husband knows that he was born in my year? Therefore, there is no noble and low, no long and no less, the Tao exists, and the teacher exists. Sage Impermanence. Confucius taught Tanzi, Chang Hong, Shi Xiang, and Lao Dan. The disciple of Tanzi is not as virtuous as Confucius. Confucius said: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, and that's it. ”
After listening to Cao Shuang's words, Xun Yu nodded with satisfaction, and Cao Cao's understanding of Cao Shuang went to the next level. Jia Xu looked at Cao Shuang with a little meaning, and the other civil officials kept admiring Cao Shuang. There were many people on the military general's side who didn't understand, such as Xu Chu. Xiahoudun looked Cao Shuang up and down with a single eye. Looking at the reactions of everyone in the hall, especially the smile on Cao Cao's face, Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Xiu, who was sitting next to Cao Zhen, gently touched Cao Zhen, "Zidan, if you have a son like this, what more can you ask for." Hearing this, Cao Zhen said again and again, "False praise, false praise." ”
"The literary examination comes first, who else will give the question?" Cao Cao asked.
"Xun Lingjun was born in Yingzhou Xun and has a source of knowledge. Ling Jun felt that Cao Shuang's answer was good, and our knowledge was not as good as Xun Lingjun, so why did he come out to offer ugliness. Jia Xu, who has always spoken little, spoke for Cao Shuang at this time. Xun Yu had no objection to Cao Shuang's answer, and Jia Xu came out again, who dared to touch the moldy head of Cao's two masterminds.
Cao Shuang thanked the eight-generation ancestor of the Chinese teacher who punished him for copying and persuading him to learn back then.
