Chapter 422
Hearing what Cai Yong said, Zhang Wen's complexion was complicated. He hesitated for a long time, sighed, and just now sat in his seat, drinking bitter wine, and said nothing. Although he was warlike, he could tell that Cai Yong Yong is not joking, after all, it seems a little worthless if friends who have been friends for more than ten years just make a fuss over this moment.

When Cao Cao and others saw Zhang Wen's reaction, they were also a little disappointed, and they hated Cai Yong even more. However, they did not expressly stated that when Cao Cao directly revealed his political intentions, the scene fell into silence again, but the emperor He smiled and said: "On the day of joy these days, don't talk about these things, everyone have a drink!"

Hearing the emperor's order, the people did not dare to disobey, and then became enthusiastic again. The old officials still maintained their objections to the establishment of the Prime Minister, and Cao Cao did not continue to persecute them. He knew that there was no discord among the old officials. As harmonious as imagined, for example, Cui Shi absolutely has no opinion on this matter, he is squinting his eyes and drooping his head at the moment, not awake.

Although Zhang Yun is an old minister, he is completely the emperor's confidant and only listens to the emperor's opinion. Now that the emperor has pacified the east, he has set his sights on the southwest corner. Zhang He absolutely dare not raise objections. In addition, Zhang Wen, Cao Cao They felt that Zhang Wen was even more belligerent than the imperial factions like themselves. If it wasn't for Cai Yong, he would have been yelling to chop off King Funan's head now.

Radu couldn't hold him back.

In other words, among this group of veterans, as long as they can persuade Cai Yong and Lu Zhi, the rest will not be an obstacle. Eyes, stepped forward, repeatedly toasted Lu Zhi, invited him to dance, and talked enthusiastically: "Do you know Liu Bei, the prefect of Dongyan, Mr. Lu?"

"My protégé."

"Haha, if that's the case, Mr. Lu is amazing, and Liu Xuande is a great man. It's not an exaggeration to say that today and yesterday, Dongmao has turned the world upside down." Cao Cao and Liu Bei knew each other well, and Liu Bei had also heard about Lu Zhi from Liu Bei's mouth, and he was enthusiastic with Lu Zhi During the conversation, he did not forget to ask about some Hezhou political affairs. When Lu Zhi never returned to the temple, he governed Hezhou for a long time, and he was very emotional about the politics and people's sentiments in the eastern part of the Han Dynasty.

And Cao Cao's deliberate actions did arouse Lu Zhi's sympathy. The two began to chat about various interesting things in the east, such as Fuyu, Goguryeo, Dongyi, etc. When they talked about some interesting things, they couldn't help laughing. Feeling a little uncomfortable, it seemed that someone was staring at his back, he turned his head, and that person was Cai Yong, Cai Yong was staring at him with complete dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Lu Zhi smiled wryly, said goodbye and left, and sat back beside Cai Yong.

"Your Majesty and Cao A had a very happy conversation, so why come back?" Cai Yong asked with some displeasure.

Lu Zhi shook his head with a smile, and said: "There is no need to be like this, private affairs and state affairs, Zhi never dare to confuse them."

"Dare you ask what's the fun? Make Lu Gong lose his composure?"

"I have a disciple named Gongsun Zan. You don't know that he actually recruited a group of Dongyi people to set up a brave camp." He was halfway through speaking when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Not far away, Liu Mo was looking at him. Zhi smiled awkwardly, Cai Yong didn't know the nature of Dongyi people, and he didn't know how funny this matter was, but Liu Mo was a little excited.

"General Gongsun was originally a disciple of Lu Gong. No wonder he fought bravely and made countless achievements in battle. It is also thanks to my son Dongyi. For many years, I Dongyi has been bullied. I never thought that under General Gongsun, I would also be called brave. In the battle against Goguryeo, he often won more with less, and even captured the king of Goguryeo. I can't believe such a great achievement. Cai Gong didn't know that I, Dongyi people, have never been good at fighting. We have fish and shrimps there."

Cai Yong turned his head and looked at Lu Zhi, his eyes were extremely complicated, Lu Zhi understood what he meant, why are you talking about Dongyi? ?
After most of the banquet, Zhang Wen, Cai Yong and others drank freely. The ministers were all a little drunk, even the emperor, who couldn't hold his head up. Only Cui Gong was as usual, not the slightest bit drunk, obviously he also drank Quite a few, seeing that Cai Yong and others couldn't lift their heads, Zhang Wen stood up secretly, holding a wine cup, walked to the emperor's side, and said, "I respect you, Your Majesty."

The little fat man picked up the wine cup with a smile.

Zhang Wen drank the wine, looked around like a thief, approached the emperor, and said quietly: "If your majesty wants to calm down the southwest, please give me 4000 troops, and I will be able to take the head of the king of Funan Zhenla within three months." Cut it off and present it to the king."

The little fat man was stunned, nodded in a daze, and said, "I see."

But at this time, there was a sudden noise in the banquet, scaring Zhang Wen and hurried back to his seat. The little fat man turned his head to look, but it was Xun Yu and Guo Jia who almost had a fight. Cao Cao didn't expect such a thing to happen. Regarding the matter, he was still waiting for conflicts among the veterans, but he didn't expect that it was his own people who took the lead.

The reason is very simple. Xun Yu just asked Guo Jia if he could borrow the prince's "On the Hidden Fu" for him to read for a while?
Guo Jia then replied drunkenly: "You are not good at agriculture, how can you understand "On the Latent Fu"?"

Immediately, the two started fighting in front of the officials, watching them fight each other, the officials Cao Cao and Xun You were all terrified, trembling all over, looking at the emperor, those old officials were extremely calm, after passing Hexiu King Talisman After these people, they were used to these ordinary fights. Zhang Wen even drank wine and said with some disdain: "One generation is not as good as a generation. Compared with He Zi's martial arts, they are far behind."

Cao Cao and others hurriedly pulled them away, and the banquet ended in a fight, and the two were severely punished by the emperor.

The next day, Cao Cao and others started their actions. Naturally, they were advocating a war against the southwest, which was not considered a war. Under the influence of He Zi, the scholars and common people at this time were all on the warlike side, and most of He Zi's ideas were instilled in these next generation of big men.

The Great Han is the country chosen by heaven. The emperor has the destiny, and the destiny is to educate the Quartet, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment. The barbarian country in the southwest does not know etiquette and does not know how to educate them. , Hezhou and Xinzhou, don't these people who used to live in poverty now live and work in peace and contentment?Didn't they all become the people of the Han Dynasty?
Only the veterans who were at the same time as He Zi were not disturbed by such thoughts. They still stick to their own opinions. There is nothing wrong with this sentence. If the guy becomes Situ and no longer thinks about governing the country or benefiting the people, that big man will die in the hands of these reckless people sooner or later.

Don't you see, in the old days of Xiaowen and Xiaojing, the national power was so strong and the Han Dynasty was thriving, but in the period of Emperor Xiaowu, the Han Dynasty repeatedly used troops abroad. Didn't the final result lead to a sharp decline in national power?In the late period of Emperor Xiaowu's administration, there was even a chaotic situation in the Han Dynasty. During such a period, the ministers did not want to go through it again, and at the same time hated Gongyang Confucian scholars extremely.

If it weren't for worrying about the relationship between today's son and He Zi, there would have been an endless stream of remarks against He Zi at this moment.

Since he had Mastiff, the little fat man has been with him for many days. When he could see the queen, he hugged the little guy so that the little guy could see his mother. Empress Cai cried with joy. During the day, she was extremely worried, for fear that the child she would give birth to would not be a son. Now that she saw her son, she felt unspeakably happy. The little fat man teased her, saying that Mastiff was too lonely, so how about giving him another brother or sister? .

In the fourth year of Xiping, at the beginning of the year, many conclusions in the Southwest were still not unified, and the officials still held their own opinions and refused to back down. However, other things have made obvious progress. As for the matter, in the first month, the temple conducted the first assessment for the students of government schools from all over the country. The test papers were all written by Cai Yong alone, and they were neither too difficult nor too easy.

After passing the examination, a total of [-] government school students passed. The Taixue recruited more than [-] of them, and the rest entered Menzixue. .

In February, these students gathered at the entrance of Taixue and Menzixue, and with excitement, they stepped into the Holy Land of Confucian classics.

When you arrive in Luoyang, the first thing you need to go to is the Jianning Stone Classic. This is the place that scholars dream of. It records all kinds of scriptures completely and accurately. Everyone is fascinated by it. After a few days of standing, the entrance of the Taiyuan Academy became crowded again. This is also a common sight, and the students of the Taiyuan Academy were not surprised.

Cai Yong also specially prepared some food and sleeping mats for these students.

"Hahaha, I don't know how Emperor Xiaokang thought of it. This stone scripture can play such a big role. It can make these people stand for several days without eating or drinking. It's strange, strange." Among the crowd , a burly fat man said with a smile, surrounded by several attendants, with their heads bowed completely, this fat man is dressed very unusually, with a long sword on his waist, he actually commented on Emperor Xiaokang.

"How can you guess the meaning of the Holy Son of Heaven?" Immediately, a scholar stood up angrily, and asked angrily. Speculating about the Holy Son of Heaven is just a feeling."

"Seeing that you are also a wealthy family, if there is no holy emperor, how can you be as rich as you are today?"

"Of course not."

"Hmph!" The scholar snorted coldly and ignored him.

The fat man smiled awkwardly, looked at the burly man next to him, and asked in a low voice: "Father died four years ago, and the people still think so?"

"Emperor Xiaokang is kind," the burly man said hesitantly.

"Well, Mr. Zhang, don't need to panic, I understand, hahaha, one day, I will definitely be like this!" The fat man's eyes were extraordinarily determined, and the burly man smiled and said in a low voice: "Today's son is also a wise king, Among the government and the public, he is deeply loved by the courtiers and the people.”

"It's not as good as his father." The fat man whispered, his face was a little lonely, but he quickly cheered up and said, "This Luoyang should also expand again. Look, there are still people on this street. Pedestrians? It's so crowded that Luo Yang Ling didn't even play."

Zhang Yun looked at the emperor with some embarrassment. He really wanted to tell the emperor that only His Majesty's body would make him feel a cough, but for the sake of his own head, he still didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only nod and agree: "It should be in this way."

"Luo Yang reminds me of Zhong Yao?"

"It is this person."

"Um"

The fat man was about to leave, but he heard the noise in the distance. He frowned and looked over. It turned out that a group of people were arguing outside the gate of the Taiyuan Academy, but they didn't know what they were arguing about. The number of people gathered around gradually increased. Walking over with the entourage, at the gate of the Taiyuan Academy, two soldiers were talking to a group of people.

It is said that it is a group of people, but it is just two followers, surrounded by a group of children, arguing with the soldiers.

Fatty was a little curious, so he stopped and listened.

"If you don't have a written letter, you can't meet Mr. Cai."

"I dare not deceive the second gentleman. My letter was stolen. As long as I meet Mr. Cai and compare the list, I can know my identity. I hope the second gentleman will be accommodating. The boy is definitely not fooling around." It was a decent excuse, the fat man looked at it, he was a little puzzled, he turned his head and asked: "Dare to ask you, what's the matter?"

The scholar beside him sized him up and said, "Mr. Hui, this kid claims to be a student of the government school. He has passed the examination and came to the Taixue. However, he couldn't produce the letter. He said it was stolen. I want to pay my respects to Duke Cai, but the soldiers prevent me from entering."

The fat man looked at the boy for a long time, and said in disbelief: "How could such a young boy pass the examination? There are hundreds of thousands of students, but more than 4000 people have been admitted. Have I fallen to such a low level? "

"Haha, I think this kid is just messing around. Mr. Cai came up with the test himself, and those who can pass are those who are talented but don't have the money to study under the imperial school. Among Luoyang, the youngest ones are also the top ones." What's more, what kind of thief would steal what kind of letter? This kid is just messing around, but I don't know why the follower didn't stop him."

When the fat man heard about this, his eyes were a little joyful, and he watched eagerly.

The burly man on the side coughed and said, "Patriarch, should we go back?"

"What's the rush, watch it later, hahaha, you don't know, I was the same when I was young, and even beat Yuan Er violently. At that time, I was beaten badly by my father." Fatty said with a smile.

No matter how the boy tried to defend himself, the soldier refused to let him in, and the surrounding scholars also started booing and teasing the boy.

"Why don't you believe it? If you don't believe me, I will recite many classics for you." The kid just started talking, when a scholar interrupted him, saying: "If you can recite the classics, you can enter the Imperial Academy?? Haha Haha, boy, I think you should stop messing around and go find your mother."

Everyone laughed.

The boy defended for a long time, but no one listened to him, he only cared about ridicule and teasing, after receiving such humiliation, the boy's face was flushed, and his eyes were also angry. said:
"I, Zhuge Liang, will not take half a step in Taixue in my life!"
