Chapter 252: The Cabinet Entrance Test (Part II)
Xuzhou City.
"Cao thief! Cao thief! The old man and you are incompatible-cough, cough! ”
In the governor's mansion, Tao Qian slammed the incense burner table in front of him to the ground, angry like a man with strong blood.
"Sir...... You are angry," the old woman with slightly frosty hair patted Tao Qian's back, "What's the difficulty, you can discuss it with the Mi family, the Chen family and the Cao family, Ying'er has also grown up, and some things can also help, how should you be so angry that your body is ......"
"A woman's opinion!" Tao Qian stood up, and the nostrils on his white beard were full of anger, "This Xuzhou is without me Tao Qian, his Mi family is still the Mi family, and the Chen family is still the Chen family!" All of them have thousands of family wealth and thousands of servants, and the old man wanted to attack Cao Song before, don't they know? I didn't have any objections at the beginning, but now that I have seen Cao Thief Bingfeng, one by one they have become shrinking turtles, what use do I want to do it! And that rebel, in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun on weekdays—"
Mrs. Tao Qian was still waiting to be persuaded again, and overheard someone outside the door reporting: "Lord, Mi Zhu and Chen Deng ask to see you." ”
"Wait for me in the main hall."
Tidying up his clothes, taking the half-dry silk cloth in the maid's hand and wiping his forehead, Tao Qian eased his expression and walked towards the main hall.
"Lord," Chen Deng and the others stood up and saluted.
"Yuanlong, Zizhong, sit!"
Tao Qian smiled and took his seat, "You two are here today, but you have good news to bring to the old man?" ”
"Back to the lord, Zhu is here to offer the lord three hundred family armor, three thousand gold, and enough grain for the thirty-thousand-strong army for ten years to help the lord resist the Cao thief!"
"Deng doesn't want to teach Brother Mi to be beautiful in the past, and he specially leads the family to five hundred, and swears to die with me Xuzhou survival."
"Okay, if you succeed in retreating from the enemy this time, the old man will count your two heads!" Tao Qian approved, and then sat on the chair and didn't know what to think.
"Don't dare!"
"This is exactly what the Mi family is doing."
"Report!" The herald came from outside the gate again, "My lord, an army is approaching outside the city!" ”
"What army is it?" Tao Qian was taken aback.
"Erect a dark green Xuanwu flag in the army, and write Liu Xuande on the plain!"
"Liu Xuande? But the three heroes fought against Lu Bu and rescued Liu Bei, the imperial uncle of the siege of the Yellow Turban in Beihai? ”
"It must be this person," Mi Zhu and Chen Deng glanced at each other, "The subordinates are willing to go with the lord to welcome Liu Zhijun's reinforcements into the city!" ”
Outside the city of Xuzhou, the flag is displayed.
Liu Bei was dressed in military uniform, behind him were a thousand sharp soldiers with swords, in front of him were Zhang Fei and Tai Shici, two fierce generals, and there were two strategists Jian Yong and Tian Feng standing on the left and right.
"Congratulations to the lord," Tian Feng said with a smile, "Yulang's plan, the first step is in this Xuzhou, in Feng's opinion, Tao Gongzu is lifting a stone and hitting his own feet, maybe he is thinking about how to find someone to make a scapegoat." ”
"What Yuan Hao said, it is very peaceful, this scapegoat, there is no one else to think about except the lord!" Jian Yong understood Tian Feng's words after a little thought.
Liu Bei didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was slightly proud, he was no longer the original pawn Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei didn't know how to thread a needle at this time, and when he heard this, he couldn't hold it back, and opened his mouth to roar: "Hey! Jian Yong, what do you mean by this! If Tao Qian Lao'er dares to let my eldest brother scapegoat him, I have to peel him off! ”
"Don't disturb the three generals, this is a great thing for the lord!" Jian Yong is a good person, but he still doesn't dare to take it big for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "Let's wait and see what happens after we enter the city." ”
As he was talking, the gate of Xuzhou slowly opened, and the leader had white hair, and a kind smile hung on his haggard face, which was Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian Tao Gongzu.
"Xuande! The banquet has been prepared, let my brother do the best of this landlord's friendship today! Xuande is here, it is the blessing of the people of Xuzhou, Tao and led the princes under his command to thank the virtuous brother. ”
"Gong Zugong is too humble, prepared from the Yellow Turban when he was a benevolent and righteous life, now Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, slaughtered countless cities, and the lives were ruined, it is really the act of a thousand people, and it is incumbent on him to do his best to do his best, and he should not thank Gong Zugong."
The two talked and laughed happily, looking like brothers and intimate, holding arms and shoulders and walking towards the mansion.
Hebei, Jizhou,
Zhongshan Kingdom, Wuji City, Wuji Pavilion.
"Congratulations to the two of you, the chief examiner has ordered you to inform you that you have both passed the second level of assessment and entered the final level, which is only one step away from becoming a student of the first phase of Wuji Pavilion."
Yi Xiao and Meng Yu glanced at each other, suppressed the joy at the corners of their mouths, and walked towards the pavilion with the Wuji Wei who came to lead the way.
The two of them didn't know that the gate directly opposite the platform outside the pavilion was the first floor of the Wuji Pavilion, and they didn't know that the sea of the Wuji Pavilion was inclusive, and only when they looked down from the window as big as two doors, and only when they saw the long dragon in the valley become as small as a water snake, they could feel the strong impact on their bodies and minds.
They had never seen this style of interior, the walls were no longer all wooden pillars and stone walls, and all kinds of tables and chairs with new and dynamic shapes were placed in a random and orderly manner. The floors are filled with many wonderful sculptures and paintings...... At this moment, the two of them seemed to understand what kind of charm Wuji Pavilion had.
Whether it is Cai Zhonglang or Kang Chenggong, when they come here, they are just as Zhang Yu wrote in his poem: "Once the sea was difficult to turn into water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud." ”
In front of him was a transparent room, with a wooden sign with the word "Assessment" hanging on the door, Meng Yu entered with his head, Yi Xiao followed closely, and looked up to see Ruan Yu sitting across the table.
"I've seen Gongzi Ruan." The two of them hurriedly saluted.
"The two high-ranking talents don't have to be polite, behave well, and maybe they will become classmates with Zaixia in the future."
"Do your best."
Ruan Yu raised his hand, and Wuji Wei on the side put two test papers printed on jade paper in front of the two, "This is the basic test paper, a Confucian classic." ”
Yi and Meng naturally understood the rule that they couldn't communicate, and they glanced at each other and found that it was indeed quite basic, and it didn't take long to finish the test paper. Ruan Yu took the test paper and roughly swept it, and motioned to Wuji Wei to continue to take the two away.
"Young Master Ruan," Yi Xiao asked again when he arrived at the door, "what if the examiner is not a Confucian student?" ”
Ruan Yu pointed his hand out of the door, and the two looked in the direction, there was also a room similar to here, and just looking, Xu Shu actually walked out of the room.
"Brother Yuan."
"I don't want to meet the two brothers here again, it seems that we are destined to be fateful." Xu Shu smiled, and the three of them followed Wujiwei towards the upper floor.
……
"The third level," Zhang Yu pulled out the sword hanging behind his seat, "Confucian scribes test the foundation, ranger swordsmen test martial arts, let's develop in an all-round way and cultivate all-round talents." ”
"But...... Didn't Zhang Lang say before that this test is to select real talents, why does the first three levels seem so simple? I don't know what this fourth level is, how many levels are there? ”
"It's a total of four levels. It's just that the first three levels are quality tests, and the fourth level is the ability test. ”
"What's the test?"
"This is going to let Uncle Cai and them come by themselves."
Cai Yan's eyes widened, and he seemed to say it again-you don't care if your feelings really test your ability?
"I don't interfere if you can join the cabinet as a disciple, anyway, they are the ones who are teachers, and I will go over to finish it in the end." Zhang Yu seemed to hear Cai Yan's complaints, but he still looked like he didn't care about himself, stretched comfortably on the recliner, and squinted his eyes slightly.
