Xu Ji walked up to Heng Fan and looked at Heng Fan's sweaty appearance and felt very interesting.

Heng Fan usually looked extremely calm in front of Xu Ji, but he didn't expect to be so nervous when he went to the examination room. It's not like a constant fan at all,

On the contrary, Chen Qun, who was sitting next to him, was much calmer.

At this time, Heng Fan raised his head and glanced at Xu Ji, and his handsome face became a little pale.

Xu Ji felt that something was wrong. Huan Fan is nervous. The exam is also a test of psychological elements, and if a person's heart collapses, he can't give full play to his great ability. Maybe his expectations for Huan Fan are too high, and he has a lot of psychological pressure on Huan Fan.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji walked to Huan Fan's side and said softly: "How many powerful characters are not your opponents, what is this little scene?" If you can't, how many people in the world and the earth can? ”

Huan Fan was stunned when he heard this, and then heard Xu Ji say softly: "The examination room is like a battlefield, and now your talents and opinions are your soldiers, just as Han Xin has more soldiers, what are you afraid of?" Huan Fan was completely relaxed at this point. Bow your head and close your eyes, and after a while, Qian Qian opened his eyes and began to answer the question.

Xu Ji bypassed Huan Fan with satisfaction, because he had already found in Huan Fan's body that Huan Fan had completely lost the tension just now, and he was completely confident in lifting weights on weekdays.

After inspecting the circle, Xu Ji left the examination room with Xun Yu and headed towards the palace. Xu Ji wanted to go to the palace to report the exam situation to Liu Xie. Sitting on the horse, Xu Ji let out a long breath, his attitude was leisurely and very relaxed.

Xun Yu, who was squinting and listening to the chirping of birds in the trees, turned his head, looked at Xu Ji and smiled: "The lord can finally rest assured now, the imperial examination is finally going smoothly." The so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as we have an example of success for the first time. In the future, this imperial examination will become a habit, so that it will benefit all generations. ”

Xu Ji looked at the front of the chest because of the rippling spring breeze. Xun Yu, who looked more and more handsome and upright, said with a smile: "Brother Wen Ruo, who knows me." The so-called economic reform, political reform, and custom reform are all related to the great cause of the generations, and they are far more frightening than the swords and swords on the battlefield. Xun Yu sighed: "What the lord said is extremely true, and now the defeat on the battlefield is acceptable for the lord. After all, the capital of the lord is enough to make a comeback, but there are some things that cannot be lost, otherwise it will be difficult to return. ”

Xu Ji nodded silently, thinking of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and Cao Cao after the Battle of Chibi in history, what they lost at that time was not an elite army that was difficult to get again. Rather, it is a form shì.

As the saying goes, "the opportunity must not be lost, and it will never come again".

Xun Yu smiled suddenly: "A lot of things only know where the benefits are after you have done them, I remember when I first arrived in Yanzhou." Seeing that the lord valued handicrafts and commerce so much, he thought it was just a matter of paying attention to open source, but later I realized that the lord wanted to empty the economic and political status of the family, and this did indeed achieve the purpose of the lord, otherwise the family would only kill a group and come again, and I wanted to hear the lord say that he wanted to 'set up a heart for heaven and earth). When I set up a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations, I thought it was just a grand wish. Now I know that the lord has already started this matter. The crux of the Han is indeed the ambition that the family can never satisfy. Xu Ji sighed with emotion when he heard this: "How can I have such insight, but I have always believed in the principle that rights and obligations should be matched, which is like God wants to make up for the deficiency with more than loss." How can there be such a truth in the world: a person just gives and does not ask for the slightest? No one is the sun. Since commerce, handicrafts and agriculture have carried so much. Why do you get so little? Those who are in power should obey the mandate of heaven, but since it is the mandate of heaven, it is naturally fair. Looking at my big man today, go up to the court. Down to the wilderness, the family is dominant, and it is the source of chaos at all, if you turn a blind eye, wouldn't it be pretending to be deaf and dumb? Xun Yu said silently: "Lord Mingjian, so it's much better now, at least I can't imagine that those people who usually seem to lack materials will be so good once they really do things, and I didn't think that the knowledge in the world is not only in Confucianism." Although I usually have many hobbies, compared to the common people, it is as ridiculous as a child who has just learned to walk and an adult. ”

Xu Ji looked at Xun Yu and said with a smile: "The most important thing for literati is to be good at speaking, Confucius has thousands of truths, these people have memorized the Tao, but they can't remember and can't do what they say and do, and then they can't beat others to elevate themselves, so now the imperial examination system has a wide variety of exams, at least tell those people a truth about Confucianism: the world is full of knowledge." Xu Ji looked into the distance and said: "I'm not so worried about the affairs of Chang'an, I don't have anyone to do business, no one is my opponent of Yanzhou businessmen."

Xun Yu also squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, as if he had seen something beautiful, and said: "Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang are very cooperative, and now the two of them have 'chiseled' Shu Dao." It's time for us to take the next step.

Xu Ji hummed before he said: "We will go to Yizhou now to recruit migrant workers, and our silk weaving industry in Yanzhou and Qingzhou will also enter Yizhou and crush Liu Bei first." Xun Yu smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, should we build the road first?" ”

Xu Ji laughed when he heard this, and the few pedestrians on the road looked sideways, and they all looked at this high-powered but uninhibited figure who knew by looking at his dress.

Xu Ji looked at Xun Yu and said with blazing eyes: "What I'm worried about now is Xuzhou." Xun Yu raised his eyebrows and said: "Xuzhou Wen has Zhang Zhao, Wu has Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou as the backing, Yu turned Yu Zhongxiang both civil and military are enough to entrust the heavy responsibility, Cao Cao's generals except Xu Chu can barely beat Yu Turn, no one is in Yu Turn's eyes, not to mention that Yu Turn's strategy is not as good as Fengxiao, but it is definitely at the same level as Xu Shu Hengfan, why should the lord worry?" ”

Xu Ji talked and said: "Although Yu Fu is omnipotent, he is too tired, how can I rest assured that so many things are all on him?" After a pause, Xu Ji said worriedly: "At the Chang'an meeting, Liu Xuan's envoy Zhang Ying's attitude towards me is very distant, this is a signal, and now the attitude of Zhao Yu, a big family in Xuzhou, is also very worrying. I can't figure out what strength Zhao Yu has and who gave him the guts to oppose my Yanzhou. ”

Xun Yu said coldly when he heard this: "Who else will there be besides Cao Mengde?" Xu Ji nodded and said, "This is a natural answer, but this Zhao Yu is a little too blatant." Or what kind of talent did Cao Mengde rely on to control Zhao Yu so firmly. ”

Xun Yu was also puzzled by this.

Xu Ji's eyes seemed to appear in front of Xuzhou's shape, and he said coldly: "Cao Ren occupies Xiapi." If he doesn't return it for a long time, it is like a sharp knife stabbing Xuzhou, but now he has no one to respond, and he is alone in the situation. And once Zhao Yu surrenders to Cao Cao, the disaster will inevitably be not small. Xun Yu's expression changed when he heard this, and he immediately understood Cao Cao's intention to use Xiapi as a springboard.

Xu Ji said again: "Cao Mengde's overall view is very good, we have all seen this with our own eyes, and this person does things quietly, for Cao Mengde." He had two battlefields, one in Chang'an and one in Xuzhou. And the development of the situation in Chang'an will determine Cao Cao's policy in Xuzhou. ”

Xun Yu's face showed a contemplative look, and then he turned his head to look at Xu Ji, obviously waiting for Xu Ji to say his opinion and verify each other. Xu Ji groaned: "Brother Wen Ruo can't see it? Yin's current delay in the marriage of Xu Shu and He Lin is part of Cao Cao's Xuzhou strategy, as long as Xu Shu does not go back for a day, Yu will be in a lonely position for a day, from the near term, Cao Cao at that time, just in case, did not want me to gather troops in the Central Plains to go south. In the long run, it is to prepare for the offensive in order to defend and attack. ”

Xun Yu thought for a while. The body shook and understood. Xu Jiyan flashed a divine light and sneered: "Let's think about it, the Yin family is stirring up the wind and rain here. The purpose is to make Xu Ji's backyard catch fire, and then she will go to lure Xu Shu again. caused a direct discord between me and Xu Shu, and the final result was that I would drive Xu Shu out of Chang'an for the purpose of occupying the Yin family. Let him go back to the Central Plains. At this time, Cao Cao launched another onslaught on Xuzhou, then he had a great chance of success. If Xu Shu was bought by Cao Cao's rhetoric. That's even worse. At that time, for me, the entire Central Plains will be unsafe. ”

Xun Yu was silent, if this situation really happened, then the whole world would be shaken. Fortunately, Xu Ji saw through the Yin family, but the crisis in Xuzhou was still not resolved. Xu Ji pondered: "We have settled the matter on the side of Chang'an, but the matter of Cao Cao's occupation of Xiapi must be solved as much as possible, originally we confronted Cao Cao across the river." After all, the Yangtze River is a land struggle, but if Xiapi is in the hands of Cao Cao, it will be very bad, and the situation is very similar to the situation of Qiang Qin going out to fight against the Six Kingdoms. He can attack and retreat, and he has too much initiative. ”

Xun Yu was concerned about the chaos, and said worriedly: "Can the lord have a good way to resolve it?" ”

Xu Ji smiled proudly and said incomprehensibly: "We'll talk about this later." Xun Yu saw that Xu Ji was so confident, so he put his mind at ease.

At this time, the palace was already in sight.

Not long after, Xu Ji and Xun Yu were already in the palace, and the two of them wandered in the imperial garden of this majestic and magnificent palace in Chang'an City. Seeing the flowers blooming, I couldn't help but relax.

Xun Yu looked at it for a long time before he sighed: "In the end, it is the hometown of the Han Dynasty, although it has not been carefully repaired for many years, it is a brilliant atmosphere." "Xu Ji is also the first time to enter the palace in Chang'an during the day, although the last time he came to Chang'an, although he was summoned by Liu Xie, he was in the outer hall, so he has not seen the style of the Chang'an palace.

Hearing this at this time, Xu Ji said on the side: "I once entered the palace in Luoyang, although the palace in Luoyang is magnificent, beautiful and mysterious, but I still like the palace in Chang'an in front of me." ”

Xun Yu was very interested and said, "Why did the lord say this? Xu Ji compared the two in his heart and said: "The palace architecture of Luoyang is closely related to the Five Elements Doctrine and is full of mythology, but I feel that there are too many places to make a fuss, and there is inevitably some false flashiness." On the contrary, this palace in Chang'an is full of majestic atmosphere in the rough lines, which makes people think of Gaozu slashing the white snake and the "Song of the Great Wind" at a glance. ”

Although Xun Yu had never entered the palace in Luoyang, he had to admit that Xu Ji's description of the Chang'an Palace was very pertinent, and praised: "I feel the same way." Xu Ji sighed again: "From this, it can be seen that the vitality of the Xianhan Dynasty is really much stronger than that of this dynasty." ”

While they were talking, Xiao Huangmen, who had been far away in front of them, and could not hear the conversation between the two at all, led the two to a courtyard, and through the corner gate, they saw a small pavilion next to the rockery, although it was covered with flowers, but you could still see the figure flickering in it.

A melodious sound of the piano came. It is a complete subjugation of the soul that catches people off guard. Don't ask, of course it's Cai Yan.

Xu Ji's heart was hot. He and Xun Yu stepped forward quickly.

After the little yellow door announced. The music stopped. Obviously, Liu Xie ordered to summon Xu Ji.

Liu Xie asked Xu Ji and Xun Yu to be flat. Shi A, the great sword master, was not by Liu Xie's side.

Xu Ji stood up after thanking him, raised his head and met Cai Yan's beautiful eyes. The eyes of the two were entangled in an instant, but they separated in an instant, so that others could not see the slightest difference.

There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a little bit of wisdom in the heart. There are some things that don't need to be said to understand.

Xu Ji and Xun Yu greeted Cai Yan plainly, and then talked to Liu Xie about the imperial examination. Liu Xie inquired in detail and felt very satisfied, so he smiled and said, "I think I can take an exam like this every year." It's good for my big man. ”

Xu Ji secretly said in his heart: It's more beneficial to me. On the surface, he said solemnly: "Holy Wisdom, we can think about this matter in the long run, and first formulate a practical plan. ”

Liu Xie nodded. glanced at Cai Yan next to him and found that Cai Yan had not changed because of Xu Ji's arrival, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Who are Xu Ji and Xun Yu? immediately noticed Liu Xie's expression, and naturally understood that Liu Xie also wanted to see his own jokes.

It seems that Liu Xie is also aware of Cai Yan's possible influence on Xu Ji. It is quite possible to make a fuss about this matter below.

Really. Liu Xie looked at Xu Ji and said, "By the way, Da Sikong, I heard that He Lin, the daughter of the great general He Jin, is about to marry Xu Shu, a famous scholar in Yanzhou?" ”

Xu Ji said respectfully: "There is a question from the Holy Lord, and thank you to the Holy Lord for ignoring this suspicion." When Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but recall the past, and sighed: "The past has passed." The world is unpredictable, the general and the Empress Dowager He had a disobedient heart that day, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with He Lin, I remember that when I was a child, He Lin also entered the palace to play with me. She was also one of my few friends. Now, of course, I also hope that He Lin will have a good home. ”

Xu Ji was shocked when he heard this, he was originally afraid that Liu Association would be jealous of He Lin because of his childhood, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret in it. Think about it too. After Liu Xie's brothers escaped from Luoyang that day, wasn't Liu Xie always protecting his own biological son of the Empress Dowager He, who had a vengeance for killing his mother? I'm thinking about it. Liu Xie smiled and asked, "He Lin is already getting married, but I don't know when I will be able to drink the wedding wine of Da Sikong and Mrs. Cai?" ”

Xu Jixin called the drama meat to come. saw Cai Yan's face turned red, obviously being said to be shy, Xu Ji couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this for the first time.

Cai Yan originally wanted to refute Liu Xie's words, but when he looked up, he saw Xu Ji looking at him like a fool. He was even more shy, and two red clouds flew on his face. Although Liu Xie and Xu Ji have a bad heart, they are still children, so they are very interesting to see this.

Xu Ji was also a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, and at the same time changed the topic, and smiled at Liu Xie: "How can your subordinates compare with the saint?" All of a sudden, Simei entered the palace, jealous of all the men in the world. ”

Liu Xie was told by Xu Ji that he felt very close to him, and felt that Xu Ji was treating himself as an adult, and said brightly: "Of course." Xu Ji looked at Liu Xie, and suddenly found that this Liu Xie had more mature taste than before, and suddenly his heart suddenly felt that he must have had a good time with the fourth girl.

Damn, no wonder the emperor died so early.

Liu Xie is at most a little kid, and he doesn't know much about men and women, but he didn't expect that now he looks like he knows the marrow. It seems that Ma Teng and Cao Cao's daughter sent to the palace is really a bit prescient, not to mention that Ma Teng's daughter and Cao Cao's Lai Yan'er, who is revealed to be a fake daughter according to Phantom intelligence, are both excellent people, and they must have used a set of men and women on the bed, which made Liu Xie fascinated.

Thinking about the stunning beauty of Ma Teng's daughter and Lai Yan'er and their appearance in bed facing Liu Xiewan, Xu Ji couldn't help but be moved.

So it seems that the Yin family in his house shouldn't be bad, right?

However, Xu Ji would not continue this topic, because he had already seen Cai Yan staring at him, so he hurriedly remedied, pretending to be sanctimonious and said, "The lord should have a candidate for the queen in his heart." ”

As soon as he talked about this matter, Liu Xie immediately became a little sad and at a loss.

Xu Ji smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that the two women are competing for favor. Thinking of this, Xu Ji said with concern: "Doesn't Mr. Yu Ji have any good construction?" Speaking of this, Yu Ji Xu Ji is really helpless, this magic stick somehow infiltrated the palace, and even deceived Liu Xie's trust, this bull's nose is not small, but Xu Ji really has no good way to take him, so he has to be secretly guarded. And according to the intelligence of the shadow, Yu Ji and Cao Cao have a very close relationship, Cao Cao is by no means a person who believes in ghosts and gods, so there is only one explanation for this matter, that is, Yu Ji is Cao Cao's move in Chang'an, and he is also Cao Cao's spy, and even Xu Ji suspects that he has greater intentions.

But this time I saw Liu Xie sigh and didn't speak.

Xu Ji knew that it seemed that he had sent a phantom to assassinate Yu Jidi and disrupted Cao Cao's plan, otherwise Liu Xie might have obeyed Yu Ji's plan earlier.

Of course, it may also be because Yu Ji has nothing to do. Thinking of this, Xu Ji said to Liu Xie: "Don't worry, after all, after all, it is an important ceremony of the country after the election, and you can't take it lightly." ”

Liu Xie nodded.

Xu Ji sneered in his heart: Greedy for women, this is the root of your defeat. (To be continued......)
