"Oh, benevolence? Hahaha......"

Cao Cao was in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Guo Jia talked about tonight's incident, and for a while he really shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I, Cao Cao, have been practicing benevolence and righteousness all my life, and it is really hard. ”

"That's that, that's."

Guo Jia smiled and arched his hand.

What a boast!

"The combination of grace and power is the true character of a hero, and the lord is really admirable."

"Hmph," Cao Cao's chin raised slightly, "Fengxiao, you know me, if Bowen doesn't say it, I actually plan to burn it and not look at it." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Guo Jia nodded hurriedly.

You are happy today, and the Manchu Dynasty has praised each other, and I am afraid that in the future, you will also be at peace and faithful to your duties. You're happy to say anything.

"This time, it is much better to really make the Hanchen in Xu Du dare not fight again, than to kill them all."

Cao Cao sighed a lot, shook his head and felt relieved, his heart was happy, he had never felt comfortable for so many years.

The courtiers who were scolded at the beginning shouted benevolence and righteousness, which was simply a pleasure, "In this way, no matter what they do, they will no longer have any objections, and they will have to submit to the Prime Minister's Mansion for at least a few years, and they can recruit more talented people and make them recommend talents everywhere." ”

"Not bad!" Guo Jia heard this and thought it was true, now the situation is really good, it is rare that there is no second voice in Xudu, just changed the officials, so that the poor scholars from all over the country can afford it, as for who to recommend, there must also be a saying, now it seems that the reopening of the Yuedan evaluation is the best way.

After all, the Xu brothers' Yuedan evaluation was widely circulated and gained a lot of fame, and once it was reopened, it would make the scholars very interested, so they naturally rushed to vote.

"Bowen can preside over the reopening of the Yuedan Review and evaluate the world's celebrities, if it is not him, then it should be Wenruo."

Guo Jia bowed his hand and said: "The lord should go and talk to him again, and you should not let it go." ”

"Hehe," Cao Cao laughed dryly twice, and waved his hand gently, "He is a dignified prince, and he is a person who is in Jiuqing, how can a high and powerful person do such a thing, and I don't like to recommend Bowen, I have already told him before, but Bowen did not agree, only said that he can find a suitable candidate, and I am still waiting for him." ”

Guo Jia nodded indifferently and didn't say anything more, since Xu Zhen has a candidate, don't worry.

He has always been far-sighted, not as reckless as a young man, but trustworthy.

……

Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion was very happy and joyful, but tonight's mansions of the ministers of the Han family were definitely not peaceful.

Those who have written letters are naturally as happy as the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and some of them immediately have a few jars of wine brought to their homes, and they first get themselves drunk until they forget about today's events.

Some people hugged and cried with their families, saying that the prime minister was magnanimous and noble.

Some people blamed themselves and felt guilty, and they were ready to read Cao's internal precepts and Xu Zhen's self-discipline style again, and they almost cried bitterly after reading it.

And inside the residence of the Yang Captain.

In the backyard, Yang Xiu and Yang Biao were already shocked, and they talked for a long time, and today's incident was only regarded as a blessing from heaven to save their family.

"Thanks to the providence of the heavens."

"You don't understand," Yang Xiu held the back of his father's hand and patted it a few times in a serious tone, "Father only knows the help of heaven, and I don't know that there is really someone who will persuade us later, so we can get this amnesty, otherwise I am afraid that it will be another bloody night." ”

"Someone? Who?! ”

Yang Biao blinked, of course he didn't understand what Yang Xiu was talking about, and naturally he would never have any guesses on Xu Zhen, in fact, Yang Biao never dreamed that Xu Zhen would speak.

However, Yang Xiu said this, but he didn't know how to continue to speak for a while, and he also promised Xu Zhen that he would never tell him about the incident that he had seen, but if he didn't say it at the moment, his father would think that it was heavenly help, or that it was the prime minister's grace.

The real benefactor of the Yang family is probably Xu Zhen.

But Yang Xiu also understood that mentioning Xu Zhen in front of his father still had to be considered.

Yang Biao is afraid of Cao Cao, but not Xu Zhen, but a little bored, and it is not clear where this boredom originates, but Yang Xiu has a faint feeling that it may be sour recently.

Bai Ding's body started at the end of the slightest, and in the end, his status was so high! And he has never been attacked and suspected, and his status in the Cao family is extremely high.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiu still sighed and decided not to say anything.

"Alas, as long as I didn't say it, in short, it was someone who advised the prime minister to grant amnesty to hundreds of officials, in fact, it is also a kindness to the world, we must not continue to do it in secret!"

Yang Xiu held Yang Biao's palm tightly, his face was full of solemnity, and he said word by word: "I will preside over the reopening of the Yuedan Commentary, and raise the world's scholars." ”

"In this way, show loyalty to the Cao family, and recommend talents with the prestige of the Yang family, so that in the future, the protégés and former officials can be all over the world."

"What?!"

Yang Biao got up suddenly, staring at Yang Xiu with an incredible expression, I just told someone some time ago that this matter is a big trap!!

Now my son is going to be the host of this month's Dan review in person and make a wedding dress for Cao Cao.

"You are presumptuous!"

Yang Biao scolded sternly and angrily, and immediately got up, "How can I, the Yang family, do such a thing!" Recommend talents to various places as officials, if you recommend the poor white ding, we are sinners as the crown of the scholar clan! ”

"The sinners of the scholar clan have betrayed almost the entire scholar clan, and if you use the recommendation of the scholar clan, their hearts will be even more punishable! In the future, not to mention the court, many families who are not ashamed of Cao Cao will be forced to divide into pieces. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Xiu's face was gloomy all of a sudden, as if he was in deep thought, but after a while, he immediately slapped his legs, "This must be done!" ”

"Willing to be the minions of the Cao family, you can still keep the glory in your body, my father can not participate in this matter, and I Yang Xiu will bear all the infamy! As for today, since my father is fortunate enough to be gracious and escaped from the butcher's knife, it is better to unload the burden and stop talking about the crown of the noble clan! Saving one's life still depends on people's faces, life and death are all rejoicing, what else do you talk about? ”

Yang Biao was speechless.

But looking at his son in a daze, he felt that he was several years old.

Yang Xiu was silent on the spot, as if he was unconvinced and unwilling, and snorted coldly: "Only with integrity, not falling into the trap of the world, whether it is a scholar or Bai Ding, what you want is a meritocracy." ”

"You!"

Yang Biao's face turned pale, and his hands were trembling when he pointed at Yang Xiu, how could you have such an unfilial son as Yang Dezu in the family!

Now even the idea in my heart is completely in the shape of Cao Cao! It's really unfilial!

Meritocracy, that's suppressing the scholars!

……

Three days later, the news spread.

Xu Zhen wrote a letter of recommendation to Cao Cao, ordering Yang Xiu to stand in front of him, and when he got closer, he could see it clearly, "Well, if you look carefully now, you are a little more stable than before." ”

"This matter can be handed over to you, but the world's popular figures, inspection of conduct, etc., all need to be done personally and not slack."

"I understand that Dezu will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord, worthy of the recommendation of the prince and the prince, and in the future, he will carefully inspect and evaluate the talents, and recommend talented people for the Han and the prime minister!"

"Uh-huh, well!"

Cao Cao nodded again and again, and even smiled instantly.

For Yang Xiu's candidate, he is extremely satisfied, his talent is famous, and he became famous as early as a month, and he can be regarded as a young and famous, and he is already filial piety and quick thinking at the age of twenty.

should be deeply respected and loved by Zhong Xuan, Xun Yu and others, and his favorite thing is his background.

Yang's hairpin family, the sages in the family are all loyal and important ministers! Now that he is the eldest son of this generation, he is also willing to recommend talents for me to vote, with a layer of Yang's plating, it is estimated that the Manchu Dynasty will have no objection to the phrase "meritocracy".

"Dezu is shi, I'm waiting to see you judge the characters."

"Please also Prime Minister, wait and see!"

Yang Xiu solemnly hugged his fists, and by looking at his expression, he knew that he was in his chest, and he was quite confident.

……

Seven days later, the Yuedan Review was really opened, and the news spread throughout Xudu.

Under the shock of the scholars, it also rippled like a tide, and the scholars everywhere were full of thoughts, and the name of Yang Xiu once again appeared in everyone's eyes.

Overnight, many local figures such as Xuzhou Chen Yuanlong, Jiangnan Chen Wuyu, Xu Du Wu Zhen, Ding Yi and other young people.

There is also Sima Yi, the son of Sima Fang, who survived with his articles and had a deep feeling for internal affairs, military and politics, and these people are all those who will succeed in the future.

The comments are well-founded, the words are rich and sharp, the bearing is calm, the words of the surrounding scholars are fluent, and they can also discuss poetry and songs, which has won the favor of countless people overnight.

This evaluation is naturally full of gold, and for a while, people are happy to talk about it, and they began to go to the door of the Yang family to ask for a meeting.

However, Yang Xiu refused, and made it clear that the recommendation was mainly based on what was observed, and if he wanted to recommend himself, he could send his works or strategies to the school office, and the school office would send him to the Shaofu.

He will watch it immediately every day and every night, without the slightest delay, everything is for the justice of the Han Dynasty.

So his reputation became even more popular, and it just so happened that many of the people he commented on were immediately accepted as doormen, but people like Chen Deng, who were originally territorial officials, were naturally used to enhance their reputation, and they could be promoted to official positions when they were older in the future.

The effect is remarkable, and on the same day, I knew that I could celebrate Yang Dezu's achievements, celebrate his fame, and soar in the future, and his protégés are everywhere.

Of course, the Shi clan has already scolded, and it is his entire Yang family who is hiding at home and scolding, greedy for life and afraid of death.

Especially Sima Yi, who was almost crazy, unsmiling, with a gloomy face, and didn't say a word to his wife all day.

"Why are you so angry? Didn't you say it last time, then Yang Xiu's strength is his own ability, don't you envy it, you also secretly told me to take a long-term view, why are you still angry at home now. ”

Zhang Chunhua has a graceful body, her hair is coiled behind her head, she walks like the wind, and her hands and feet are nimble, but her delicate body is only wearing a thin skirt, and there is a fire pit in the room, so it is extremely hot and looks red. dangling in front of Sima Yi like this, his eyes suddenly looked like an eagle, and he was attracted to attention, but his legs were broken and he couldn't move.

So the fire in my heart jumped up to my liver again, and I fell on the bowl!

He whispered, "Women should not discuss the government in vain!! Do you look like a virtuous lady? How dare you trespass so far!! ”

"Hey!!" Zhang Chunhua laughed angrily directly, and looked at him with his waist crossed, "What?" What can I do if I'm not like a virtuous lady? What can you do with me? If you have the ability, you can stand up and kill me now! ”

"Nonsense! Rude! ”

Sima Yi took a deep breath, and then took a few more sips, but he couldn't go well.

"How embarrassed are you to say that!"

"Huh? Sima Yi! You see everything wrong with me now, right? You can't compare to Xu Junhou, forget it, now you can't even compare to Yang Xiu, your heart is hurt, right? ”

"Don't mention Xu Zhen! It's okay with this!! ”

Sima Yi was stimulated, and he almost stood up, his face was red, his eyes were round, and he couldn't wait to eat Zhang Chunhua, but thinking about it, he had respected each other like a guest all these years, although his wife was from a civilian background, but she was quite good at martial arts, and she was a little tough, so it was still inconvenient to offend too much.

So he immediately pouted and said: "What I'm really angry about is that Yang Xiu's move has completely abandoned the things that our scholar clan insisted on!" It's better to let Xu Bowen preside over it personally, after all, we can still twist into a rope and wait for the opportunity. ”

"But now? Haven't I wasted my legs? ”

Sima Yi looked down, he was ruthless at that time, in order not to give the Cao family an official and shame the family, he let the carriage break alive.

only escaped the expedition, not because Sima Yi had to hold on to such a name, nor because he was worried about fame in his heart.

But once the young people in the family go to the Cao family to become officials, they will lose a lot of support in the future, and they may not be able to gain a place through governance.

If you think about it, most young people will give up.

Xu Zhen, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai...... There are also the people of the Zhong family, the people of the Chen family, where are there other young people who have become the ladder of the clouds.

"Hey, what are we arguing about at home." Zhang Chunhua was stunned by one sentence, and also understood her husband's intentions, so she smiled left and right at the moment, relieving the embarrassing atmosphere.

"Well, what else can I do now? Fortunately, this time the prime minister was gracious, otherwise my father would have been imprisoned. ”

"No," Sima Yi shook his head coldly, "This time it is inevitable to be gracious, after all, half of the court is writing letters, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng is just scaring them and buying people's hearts with this." ”

And Yang Xiu's move is the hearts of the people he has sold, but before that, Xu Zhen has already pushed him in front of celebrities, making Yang Xiu famous, and he can't stop! Not to mention whether he dares to let the Yang family decline, how can he be reluctant to let such a feeling of being sought after by tens of thousands of people? ”

Thinking of this, Sima Yi shook his head with a wry smile, "This shows that Xu Bowen has long known that there will be this book, and he must have promised Yang Xiu something with this as a blessing." ”

"Then, aren't you very powerful...... Zhang Chunhua's eyes lit up, his husband is not only extremely talented and knowledgeable, but he can even sort out such a context, not inferior to those celebrities.

"What's the use!" Sima Yi leaned back on the recliner, "Only after the fact can I see the clues, I can guess, such a trick is simply a conspiracy, and the fate of the Yang family hangs by a thread in Xu Zhen's words!" If Yang Xiu refuses, he can also say that the Yang family is powerful, and he can make an example of the chicken. ”

"It's not wrong to pardon the rest of the officials like this, and kill him as Yang! With such a reasonable and well-founded statement, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will definitely be willing to listen! ”

"Oh my God, why don't such people have jealousy," Sima Yi clasped the armrests with both hands, and subconsciously sighed.

It is said that God is jealous of talents.

I hope that Xu Zhen will be jealous of God as soon as possible, and I can learn from his talents in secret, and show my style again in the future.

"It's a pity, it's a pity......"

"You too, looking forward to people's early death."

Zhang Chunhua glanced at her, her skin was white and beautiful, which made Sima Yi stunned again, and she didn't look away and sulked.

"Hmph, when you mention him, you will be upset, right?"

"What are you talking about, I don't know Xu Junhou at all!"

"Alas, shut up! A woman must not speak in vain about the important members of the court! ”

"Phew! You're just awkward in your own heart. ”

"Me, me!"

Sima Yi slapped the handrail several times to warn, causing Zhang Chunhua to laugh.

In the laughter, Sima Yi really couldn't stop her after discovering that her legs were broken!
