Cao Chao was lying on the bed, and there were still a lot of documents beside him.

Sima Yu gently squeezed his shoulder for him.

Cao Chao held the book in his hand and read it very seriously.

These are the reports of the ministers who went to Kushan.

Strangely, it is the same place, but the things recorded by different officials are completely different, and everyone seems to have their own understanding.

Cao Chao was not picky, and took the records of these people to read together.

So far, Cao Chao has finished reading the records of the three people, although the records of the three people are not the same, but Cao Chao has probably figured out the situation over there in his heart.

Guishuang is afraid that he will not be able to hold on.

At this point, even if Cao Chao wants to save it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve.

Its internal and external troubles are more serious than the situation faced by the Later Han Dynasty at the beginning, not only do they have princes to divide their territories, but there is also a strong enemy that has just risen, and they have been defeated repeatedly.

Cao Chao's trade with the other party was not guaranteed, and the princes did not obey the king's orders at all, even if the king gave Cao Chao more guarantees, what was the use of not being implemented locally?

It seems that this trade matter still has to be done with the Persians.

Of course, Guishan can't give up either.

After all, this is the pro-Wei Dayue clan king who paid tribute to himself and was officially canonized.

Looking at the pensive Cao Chao, Sima Yu said softly: "Your Majesty, the queen came to me again today, still for that matter. ”

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, put down the book in his hand, and smiled bitterly.

"She hasn't given up yet, so what's the problem?"

In these days, Queen Zheng Xian has been urging Cao Chao to hurry up and take a few more concubines.

When Zhuge Xu went out to Saiwai, the queen gave birth to a daughter for Cao Chao.

Of course, Cao Chao was very happy, and the harem gradually became lively.

However, there were several ministers in the Ministry of Rites, but they were waiting for the opportunity to play to the queen, hoping that the queen would allow Cao Chao to take a few concubines.

This is still because Cao Chao's children are still too few, and those groups that are deeply tied to Cao Chao are not very reassured.

Emperor Wu has more than 20 sons! This is just talking about the son, not the daughter.

As for Cao Pi, he also had ten sons.

But when it came to Cao Rong, Cao Fang was such an heir, and everyone saw the later situation.

Since Cao Chao ascended the throne, he has been full of thoughts on governing the country and almost ignoring his own family affairs, which has led to the current situation, there are only two people in the harem, and there are few heirs.

With the contemporary mortality rate, to put it mildly, two children may not be enough.

Ten children is about the same.

In the face of the persuasion of the ministers, Zheng Xian was not angry, her queen's throne was already solid, not to mention that her son also needed brothers to help.

Even she herself can't get a reputation for jealousy.

So, she urged Cao Chao to take a concubine several times.

Cao Chao is not in a hurry, after all, he is still young, and he has no serious illness, the harem is actually very good at the moment, there is nothing to worry about, and they get along very well.

He didn't want to spoil the peace of the harem very much.

When there are more people, there will be more problems.

Zheng Xian is not the kind of queen who is particularly strong.

Sima Yu advised again at this moment: "Your Majesty, although you have no intention of accepting it again, but you are just outside, but Queen Yun is so jealous of Your Majesty's prosperity in the Spring and Autumn Period, even if you recruit a few more beauties, the harem may not be chaotic."

From a political point of view, a qualified emperor must have at least five sons, so as to ensure that someone can inherit if there is an accident.

Cao Chao pondered for a moment before he said, "Well, this matter still has to be considered in the long run. ”

Sima Yu saw that Cao Chao seemed to have his own ideas, so he didn't persuade him again.

Cao Chao looked at the paperwork in his hand again, but his mind was thinking about tomorrow's imperial examination.

Tomorrow is the temple test.

Cao Chao actually decided what question he wanted to come up with a long time ago.

That's right, it's the Motivation Order.

The last palace test was a field appreciation order, and this palace test is a promotion order.

The question is easy to guess, but the problem is that whether it is good or not will not affect the test result.

Because at this point, there will basically be no stupid people left, what are these people, Cao Chao knows in his heart.

And at this point, they are not afraid to prepare in advance, the test is how to govern the country, how to assist the king, and of course, there is a political position.

The promotion order is the most unfavorable policy for the family, and if you can still stand on Cao Chao's side on this policy, then you can completely prove your position.

For today's Cao Chao, proving his position is more important than the rest.

Cao Chao quickly put down the paperwork in his hand and hurriedly fell asleep.

The next day, Cao Chao got up, but the second prince Ziliang had not gotten up, and he did not wake up his son, so he quietly left here.

The palace examination is to be held in the Taiji Hall.

More than ten people who participated in the assessment were well prepared and full of confidence at the moment.

Liu Yuan was at the forefront of everyone, although everyone was a little unhappy with this Hun in their hearts, but no one dared to show it, mainly because the other party's background was too deep.

Not to mention his father, just being a teacher who is Situ is enough to silence the many candidates present.

Zhong Hui's prestige is now getting bigger and bigger, since he can command Santai, the ministers seem to respect him, and no one dares to challenge his authority anymore.

In the past, there were old ministers such as Wang Chang who could just fight with him, but now, there is only one Biqiu Jian.

And Biqiu Jian has no intention of government affairs, unless Zhong Hui goes too far, he basically will not interfere in the affairs of the temple.

Under such circumstances, Zhong Hui's power is naturally in full swing, and no one can compare.

As his only disciple, Liu Yuan's status is also constantly improving.

Almost no one cares about his Xiongnu background, and some people even want to take the initiative to marry Liu Yuan, hoping to establish some friendship with Zhong Hui through him.

It's a pity that Zhong Hui has always been a six-parent who doesn't recognize him.

When Cao Chao appeared in the hall, many candidates hurriedly got up, most of them were young people.

Just like the last time, he is still from a big family, and he can hardly find a person from a poor family.

This reminded Cao Chao of Lu Zhi's words again.

It is not too difficult to suppress these big clans economically, but it is not easy to eradicate their roots and complete anti-monopoly in terms of knowledge.

Cao Chao didn't dislike these people because of their origins.

He sat on the top and first affirmed the achievements of everyone.

Immediately, he slowly talked about the current situation.

"Since the temple issued the decree, the treasury has become more and more full, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the whole place has prospered, which is really different from the past."

"I can't figure it out."

"Please let me know how to improve and continue in the future."

Everyone was listening very carefully, but as soon as the emperor spoke, many people among the people showed joy.

And so it was.

This topic is really easy to guess, and many people have already thought that the problem will be a motivational order, so they are fully prepared.

Liu Yuan's face did not change at all.

For him, whatever the problem is, it is not a problem.

A special person came to hand out paper and pens, and everyone began to write answers.

Cao Chao sat on the top seat and looked at them seriously.

His eyes were mainly locked on Liu Yuan's body, and of course, there were two people here who needed his attention.

That's right, it's Cao Chao's adopted son Guo Ping, and Cao Qi's friend Liu Hong.

Guo Ping is no longer the little doll he used to be, and he has also become a heroic teenager.

Cao Chao invited him to a lot of teachers, and in the end he followed Chen Qian from the Ministry of War to learn the classics and the art of war.

Cao Chao did not directly confer an official title because of his status, but required him to participate in the imperial examination and prove his ability through his results.

Guo Ping has been preparing for this for a long time, and he is the opposite of Liu Yuan.

The first exam was the most relaxed, and when it came to the second one, he began to struggle a little, and in the third one, he began to panic.

Chen Qian taught him the classics very carefully, but in terms of the current national policy, Chen Qian really didn't teach much, mainly because Guo Ping, the emperor's adopted son, was too special.

If Chen Qian casually revealed his thoughts on many policies to him, what was the difference between it and telling the emperor directly?

This leads to the fact that although Guo Ping has a good ability in the classics, he has some lack of knowledge in this national policy.

He soon began to sweat.

And the other one, that is, Cao Qi's friend Liu Hong, this guy is an all-round talent, and the first few times were not too easy or too difficult, including this time.

Cao Chao left the table twice during this period, of course, in order to meet with several important ministers and give instructions on some important matters.

Although there is a bell in Santai, many government affairs must be carried out by the emperor's nod first, and the specific process must be informed to the emperor in time.

After taking the test like this for half a day, everyone finally left in turn.

Cao Chao looked at everyone's expressions, and he already knew it in his heart.

After the people left, their own attendants collected their articles and sent them to the emperor for review.

As for these upstarts, they were taken to rest by the officials.

They still have a chance to have dinner with the Emperor, but they have to wait for the Emperor to confirm their ranking.

Cao Chao sat in the room and began to look at the test papers of many candidates.

The first one is to look at Liu Yuan first.

Sure enough, just as Cao Chao thought, in Liu Yuan's answer, you can already see Zhong Hui's appearance of pointing out the country.

Liu Yuan believes that the reason for this situation is that the big clan has been suppressed economically, resulting in the big clan being unable to merge, monopolize and bully the local area, so there is the current prosperous era.

If you want to continue and improve, you need to make the upward order more complete, the scope of the scope is larger, and the goal of migration is more clear

Liu Yuan wrote thousands of words, but there was not a single nonsense, all of them were talking about how to make the advancement order go further.

Cao Chao pondered for a moment, then laughed.

This shaft can be left to Cao Wen!
