Chapter 359: Kong Rong is seriously ill
"Yes, this matter has been bothering me for a long time, but this is the only way to think about it. That's why I want to be on a par with the generals. After all, I, Cao Cao, am also from a family, so naturally I have to protect the interests of the family! Cao Cao sighed and said. However, the essence of the light revealed in his eyes from time to time was clearly telling the excitement in his Cao Cao's heart at the moment.
The excitement of a chess opponent. Even if it was his friend since childhood, Yuan Shao, he Cao Cao had never looked at it, and in his heart, perhaps only Liu Yao was worthy of being the opponent who heard Cao Cao. He really wanted to see whether Cao Cao, who had the support of the family, could win, or Liu Yao, who had always wanted to suppress and eliminate the family, could succeed.
Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao's confident appearance, and his heart was also excited, but he looked at the copywriting of the imperial examination in his hand, and said with a wry smile, "Lord, what should you do about this imperial examination system?" ”
Although he knew what Cao Cao's answer would be, he couldn't help but ask.
Cao Cao also couldn't laugh at this, and said, "Wen Ruo, even if I want to use it, but will you agree, will others agree?" ”
Just like Liu Yao said, Cao Cao's power is a huge combination of interests. Once Cao Cao takes the lead in going against the interests of their individual families, then those families will definitely abandon Cao Cao without hesitation and turn to others. So he Cao Cao wanted to use it very much, but he didn't dare to use it, which was really a contradiction.
Xun Yu could only shrug helplessly about this, without sadness or joy. Obviously, I don't care so much about this matter.
"But!" At this time, Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and the topic changed and said, "Although it is impossible for us to carry out this imperial examination. But I heard that the general has been setting up a recruitment hall in Youzhou to recruit talented people from all over the world. We can learn from this. ”
Xun Yu's heart also moved when he heard this. Secretly applauded. He naturally knew about this Zhaoxian Pavilion. And the most important thing is that this recruitment hall can not only recruit a lot of talented people for him Cao Cao, but also will not offend the interests of the family too much. In the end, Cao Cao's subordinates are still more children of the family. In this way, those families should not have any objections. Such a beneficial thing, how could he Xun Yu disagree.
"I'll take care of that." Xun Yu said with a smile, and then glanced at Cao Cao, and they all saw the longing for the future in each other's eyes, and they all laughed.
Soon. The matter of this imperial examination system spread like a storm and clouds throughout almost the entire Han Dynasty.
When each prince received this news, his expression was extremely strange. It was as if he was looking at a monster and looked in the direction of Youzhou, obviously because he didn't know why Liu Yao was acting like this. Even a little sarcastic. You must know that in the current cognition, the name of the world's talented people is still so loud. He, Liu Yao, didn't let the children of the family go, but reused the children of the poor family, wouldn't it be a waste of time.
And in the midst of this. Especially Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, who are the most disdainful.
After Dong Zhuo got the news. It was a stomachache that was almost laughing, and it was said that the meal that day was particularly fragrant. Although he Dong Zhuo does not have many families, he does not like the family very much. But he also knows very well that if he wants to completely stand on the opposite side of the family in these years, it is purely looking for death. In his opinion, Liu Yao's current actions are undoubtedly self-defeating.
Although he, Liu Yao, was not very dealing with that family before, and even quite suppressed. But that hasn't hurt the family's bones yet. But this imperial examination system is different. This is completely against the interests of all the families in the world.
If he really won the world in the future, Liu Yao really won the world. So is there still a way for their family to live in the world? So there is no doubt that in the future, those families will definitely unite to deal with Liu Yao. This is definitely a great joy for Dong Zhuo, who has always wanted to deal with Liu Yao.
As for Yuan Shao, let alone mention. In the middle of today's family. Except for the Liu family, which is so scattered that it can no longer be dispersed, it is basically not a family anymore. Then the Yuan family will have the greatest power.
Therefore, he also knows best how much energy this family can have. Let's put it this way. Although he Yuan Shao has countless families under his hands, he is supported. But to a large extent, in order to preserve their strength, the support of these families for him Yuan Shao is only a small part on the surface.
It can be said that as long as these families can protect themselves, then they will definitely not contribute any more.
But now it's different, he Liu Yao's so-called imperial examination completely violates the interests of the family. Once he Liu Yao won the world, the family had only one way to go. In this way, the only chance for those families is to put all their strength on him Yuan Shao, in order to ensure that he Yuan Shao can win in the future and preserve the interests of their family.
In this way, he Yuan Shao was happy to death. If you go to these families, you need money, money, and people. Although their strength is one or two, although it is nothing. But dozens of them, that's definitely a huge force.
If you really want to talk about it, if each of these families gives 10,000 domestic slaves, they are providing a share of 10,000 people of grain and grass. At that time, if you want to raise an army of 500,000, it will definitely be a breeze.
Don't underestimate the strength of these families, take top families like the Yuan family and the Xun family as examples, if you want to come up with a lot of money and tens of thousands of slaves, it is undoubtedly the same as playing. You must know that it is not difficult for a small merchant family like Mi Zhu to come up with an elite army of 10,000 people, let alone the Yuan family and the Xun family, which have been inherited for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Now Yuan Shao can't wait to thank Liu Yao, if he doesn't have such a move, I'm afraid that he Yuan Shao wants to get the full support of the family, I'm afraid it's really not an easy thing.
In short, no matter what, no matter what kind of reaction those princes had, the news of the imperial examination system has now spread out, and the children of the Hanmen and some families who know the news have also begun to set off, leaving to come to this Youzhou, one is to see what this rare imperial examination is. Second, I also want to see if there is my own way out of this.
Youzhou, Youzhou Academy,
At this moment, Liu Yao is worrying about those test questions with Guo Jia, Cai Yong and others. And Cai Yong and the others opened the letters one by one, and they all smiled with their eyebrows. Because all of their friends agreed to come to Youzhou, this is definitely another big publicity for this imperial examination.
"Huh!" At this time, Cai Yong opened a letter and called out with some surprise. And the expression on this face became more and more solemn.
"Huh? Father-in-law, what's wrong, what's the matter? Liu Yao looked at Cai Yong's appearance, put down the pen in his hand, and asked with some doubts.
Cai Yong handed over the letter, and said with some solemnity, "Yao'er, come and see, that Kong Beihai is in poor health, but it's a pity that he can't come to participate in this imperial examination, and I can't leave at the moment, I owe Beihai to visit him, it's a pity!" ”
Cai Yong said twice in a row that it was a pity, which shows how unhappy he was in his heart. That Kong Rong is his best friend, and he also has an almost paranoid love for literature. This imperial examination is a great innovation in history, he can't participate, Cai Yong really feels sorry for him.
"Huh!?" When Liu Yao heard the news, his brows immediately furrowed, and he hurriedly took the letter and read it carefully. It's not that Liu Yao is making a fuss. It's because of this matter, he can't help but pay attention to it.
Although Liu Yao has never paid too much attention to this Kong Rong, he is just a great Confucian, even if he is Cai Yong's best friend, it is not enough for Liu Yao to pay too much attention to it. But he Cai Yong still has this Liu Bei's cunning, but he can't help but Liu Yao doesn't care. (To be continued......)
