Are you a genius?

Cao Chao's eyes when he looked at Sima Yan became a little different.

But even if I wanted to use your father, your father would have to be happy.

Cao Ju, the king of Pengcheng recommended by Zheng Hao, is actually not impossible, but he is not the best candidate in Cao Chao's heart, and he has a lot of energy to focus on this sect in the future.

In this way, Zongzheng's position becomes extremely important.

Zheng Hao is not suitable for any Zongzheng at all, in Cao Chao's eyes, this person is the best candidate to serve as the secretary of the ministry.

Shangshutai must hang a secretary book for him, and among the nine qing, he can be allowed to receive a Taichang again.

What Zheng Yuan is good at is knowing people and recommending people, and he is suitable for doing things in official promotion and education.

He himself is biased towards neutrality, whether it is Sima Shi and Cao Chao, or the ministers and Cao Chao, he wants to remain neutral, and such a person cannot follow Cao Chao to work heavily on clan issues.

He needed someone who was radical, bold, old, senior, and related to his own family, willing to contribute to the clan.

Like King Pengcheng, his qualifications, age, and family affection are all up to standard, but his character, this is a cowardly person, he can let him take the blame, but I want him to risk his life to contribute to the clan and himself, well, it's better to save it.

If there is really no one available, you can consider him and let him be an ornament.

In fact, Sima Zhao really perfectly agreed with all the conditions, but this is impossible, anyway, for the time being, it is impossible.

Cao Chao thought about it seriously, in fact, there are not many candidates, Yangzhou Thorn Shi Wenqin is a good choice, his age, qualifications, irritability, all aspects are perfect to meet the standard, as for whether he is a clan?

It's easy to say, my fierce general Wen Yang hasn't married a wife yet, right?

But the current situation is that Biqiu Jian needs Wen Qin more than himself, so he can only give up.

If only Xiahouba hadn't run.

Yanghu can also have a relationship with the clan, but his qualifications are not enough.

Cao Chao's eyes narrowed, and a few names came to mind again.

"Your Majesty??"

Sima Yan asked, "Could it be that Your Majesty thinks there is something wrong?" ”

Cao Chao shook his head and said very calmly: "There is nothing wrong with it. ”

"General Zhengxi is the most suitable person for this position, but ah, it's not that time."

Sima Yan seemed to understand and nodded.

Cao Chao asked, "Are you prepared for the next Dongtang banquet?" ”

Since Sima Yan found that he couldn't keep up with the ideas of celebrities, Cao Chao recommended several books to him and asked him to eat them thoroughly.

Sima Yan is a little reluctant, he doesn't like to read, he believes that governing the world is not based on these classics.

And Cao Chao told him that classics are the entry conditions for governing the world, even if it is Sima Shi Sima Zhao, they all use classics as steps, as a stepping stone, how dare you not learn it?

Cao Chao immediately used Sun Quan's bridge to persuade Lu Meng: Am I asking you to study and become a doctor too often?

Sima Yan didn't dare to refute, so he took some books back, and took them out to recite from time to time.

Hearing Cao Chao's question at this moment, Sima Yan was very dazed.

"Your Majesty, is the banquet going on?"

"My father didn't allow me to go out, I came this time, and more than 300 armor soldiers escorted all the way to the gate of the palace, and I couldn't drive them away, can we still have a banquet at this time?"

"Besides, my uncle is seriously ill, even if people are willing to come, wouldn't it be unfilial for us to drink and have fun here?"

Cao Chao's expression became serious.

"An Shi, don't be deceived by those who sell their reputation, their filial piety is only shown to others and is not sincere, such filial piety, what is there to admire? What is there to emulate? ”

"Their filial piety is just a means for them to be promoted."

"When Xuan Wengong died, did the general go to resign and mourn for three years?"

"Is this because the general is not filial? The general inherited the will of Xuan Wengong and continued to govern the world in his place, this is the greatest filial piety. ”

"Instead of pretending to be sullen, showing his filial piety to outsiders, helping the general govern the world, and continuing his ambition, isn't this the greatest filial piety?"

Cao Chao's words immediately convinced Sima Yan.

"Your Majesty is right!"

Sima Yan immediately had his spirits, and he asked: "But, Your Majesty, the East Hall Banquet is only used by us to win over celebrities, and now that the temple is in chaos, I am afraid that the ministers will not dare to come, just summon some celebrities, how can we help my uncle?" ”

Cao Chao laughed, "I've been waiting for you to ask." ”

"I know that you are not a person who only chases fame, husband, you must be going to do great things, how can you invite fame and hope all day long?"

"Anshi has grown up."

"Your Majesty will say what we are going to do!"

Sima Yan had already begun to get excited.

Cao Chao then talked about his thoughts.

"The East Hall Banquet, if it is properly organized, can become the heyday of the world's celebrities, comments on celebrities and celebrities are secondary, and the most important thing is that we can change the world's thinking through the banquet."

"Nowadays, with the rise of metaphysics, people are superstitious about ghosts and gods, ignore facts, drink alcohol, and talk and do nothing, all of which are not conducive to governing the world."

"We're going to have to change that one step at a time."

"Metaphysics is not useless, I am familiar with the classics, and I have studied these relatively well, if you want to govern the world, it is far from enough to govern from the policy point of view, but also from the ideological point of view."

"I want to summarize many academic ideas in the past and present, change the current trend of ideological decadence, I want to bring together the bravery of the ram, the teaching of the left, and the essence and end of metaphysics to form an advanced thought that is intended to expand the territory, educate the world, and be naturally promising!"

Cao Chao finally said his true idea of setting up the East Hall Banquet.

Sima Yan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly clapped his hands.

"Good! Your Majesty said it so well! I think so! ”

"That's how it should be, gather him!"

Cao Chao nodded, and asked again: "What does An Shi think should be the first step?" ”

Sima Yan said uncertainly: "Speak? ”

Cao Chao clapped his hands, "That's right! You're so right! Exactly like me! ”

"The current scholars are very confused, because the past thoughts can not support their beliefs, after the collapse of faith, the temple has been frantically suppressing them, not allowing them to elaborate their inner thoughts, not allowing them to question and refute, once there is a violation, they will be killed and exiled, they are afraid of being killed, they can only engage in some things that the gods and gods are talking about."

Therefore, our first step is to make these scholars dare to speak! No, it's not just talking, you have to make them criticize, you have to make them scold! ”

"As long as the scholars dare to scold out loud, they will no longer serve and disperse, and they will no longer drink all day long! It won't be that decadent! ”

Sima Yan looked at Cao Chao blankly and nodded sluggishly.

Am I really a genius?

Cao Chao immediately discussed with Sima Yan the specific matters of the next Dongtang banquet.

"You don't have to hide these things, go back later, you can tell your father directly, and General Zhengxi will definitely not object."

"Good!"

After explaining these things, Cao Chao let Sima Yan leave.

After sending him away, Cao Chao walked towards Zhaoyang Palace.

He had to ask the Queen Mother about some things to determine what he thought in his heart.

In fact, for Zongzheng's candidates, in addition to these people in the temple, there are several candidates, Cao Rong wanted to stay and assist the old ministers of the temple, such as Cao Yu, Xiahou Xian, Qin Lang and others.

Among them, Cao Yu is half of the available person, this person is cautious, and he chose to compromise with the Sima family after losing power, but this can't be blamed on him, after all, with the princely system of the Great Wei, his words and deeds will be monitored, what do you let him do?

Xiahou Xian and Qin Lang both resigned directly and left, and Cao Chao was not sure if they were still alive.

Cao Chao didn't know much about Xiahou Xian, but he was more familiar with Qin Lang.

Qin Lang is the son of Qin Yilu, Lu Bu's general, when Lu Bu asked Qin Yilu to send Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu wanted to keep this person, so he found someone to marry him, and Qin Lang stayed in Xiapi with his mother.

After Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu, it is said that Guan Yu fell in love with Qin Lang's mother Du Shi, but Cao Cao did not agree, and took Du Shi as his own Qin Lang became Cao Cao's stepson, just like Guo Ping today, he lived in Cao Mansion, and Cao Cao grew up.

At the same time, Mrs. Yin's son He Yan also grew up in Cao's Mansion and was also adopted by Cao Cao, and it is worth mentioning that He Yan is the grandson of the former general He Jin.

He Yan was unscrupulous and arrogant, and after becoming famous, he followed Xiahou Xuan and Sima Shi all day long, and the three of them were known as the three sages of Luoyang, and they were all over the place, having a lot of fun, and became the idol group of the scholars at that time.

And Qin Lang is cautious, low-key, doesn't like to be in the limelight, and has been liked by Cao Cao since he was a child.

He himself is also very talented, he has fought against the Hu people, and he has also resisted Zhuge Liang, and his internal and military abilities are good.

Later, he was dismissed by Cao Shuang and Sima Yi and resigned and went home.

If this man is not dead, it is entirely possible to call him again.

But when Cao Chao walked to the door of Zhaoyang Palace, his thoughts were interrupted.

He saw that two people were kneeling outside the Zhaoyang Palace, in this cold winter, regardless of the cold on the ground, trembling all over, Guo's husband was standing in front of them, his face was indifferent.
