Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 691 The Kingdom of Wa is an Indivisible Territory of the Great Wei!
Mrs. Bian knelt at the door of Cao Cao's bedroom. Because it was winter, the ice falling from the eaves was melting, and drops fell on his shoulders.

Madam Bian said with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, Ziwen made a mistake this time, so it's fine if you punish him for life in confinement, at least you can save his life, but Zihuan...you punish Zihuan to exile on the border, then...that's a narrow escape. place!"

Cao Cao's expression was calm and cold, "Ruogu is dead, if the crown prince doesn't do his best to turn the tide, how many people will die in this city today?"

Mrs. Bian trembled in fright, "I know that the king is doing it for Wei, to eliminate the hidden dangers of Wei, but... but the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring!"

Cao Cao said with emotion: "Tigers can not eat their cubs, but King Wei is different. Standing in the position of King Wei, Gu must consider more and more far-reaching, and kill all future threats to Wei in the bud. Perhaps , You will say that the prince is partial to the prince, but this partiality is won by the prince himself! Open your eyes wide and see, how much painstaking efforts are contained in this big Wei now? Should it?"

Cao Cao's words made Mrs. Bian grit her teeth, not knowing what to say!
At this time, an eunuch timidly stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, Lord Xun Ling and several military advisers are already waiting for Your Majesty in the side hall!"

Mrs. Bian put away her tears...

Seems unwilling to cry in front of servants.

Cao Cao walked by her side and pulled her up, "You don't need to cry, at least you still have Zijian. Isn't Zijian the one you love the most? He has made a great contribution this time, and I can see it , in the future, he will definitely be the servant of the crown prince!"

Speaking of here…

Cao Cao gave Mrs. Bian a deep look at the end, and walked away slowly under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen.

In the side hall, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Xi Zhicai were already waiting here...

Cao Cao knelt down and sat on the main seat.

"Come on, let's talk about it."

Xun You took the lead and said, "Ma Teng of Xiliang has sent his son Ma Chao to present the seals and household registrations of the eight counties of Xiliang, saying that he wants Xiliang's tiger girl to marry the prince of Wei, and he has the right to use the eight counties of Xiliang as a dowry!"

Xi Zhicai also blurted out, "The same is true for Sun Yi and Sun Quan in Jiangdong. Zhou Yu brought all the household registrations and seals of the 72 counties in the six counties of Jiangdong. They also attach great importance to the marriage between Sun Xiaomei and the prince in Jiangdong!"

Then it was Jia Xu's turn, "This Lu Fengxian does not have a household registration and a seal, but he brought a seal of 'Yamatai Kingdom'. The dowry of his daughter Lu Lingqi is not simple. The seal of 'Yamatai Kingdom' also declares The 'Wo Kingdom' beyond the ocean to the east of Liaodong will be an inseparable part of my Great Wei territory from today on!"

The words of Xun You, Xi Zhicai, and Jia Xu are very simple...

But the amount of information is huge!

Different from Xiliang married daughter and Jiangdong married daughter, Xiliang and Jiangdong are used as dowry, which is enough for the card...

Lu Bu is even more exaggerated...

To know…

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was the first time that "Little Days" arrived in the mainland. When their envoys visited Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they were too short, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave them the title of "Japanese".

And the Han Dynasty also acquiesced... There is an island in the ocean to the east of Liaodong, called "Waguo"...

who would have thought...

In the past, the empire that was bestowed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as the "Japanese people" has really become an inseparable part of the territory of the Great Wei today.

This made Cao Cao very excited.

"As expected of Lu Fengxian! Hahaha..."

He laughed heartily...

However, Cao Cao was smiling happily, but Xun Yu showed a worried look, which was completely opposite to the atmosphere here.

Cao Cao noticed Xun Yu's expression.

"It's such a happy event, why does Xun Lingjun look like this?"

Xun Yu paused for a moment before opening his mouth: "Your Majesty, I am thinking that when the Crown Prince was still Marquis of Ting, he married the two wives of the Marquis's family and married Princess Wannian and the noble daughter of Xiahou's family... because of the difficulty of this wedding. And let 'Tai Chang' and 'Tai Pu' rack their brains, and in the end the king gave in, letting Princess Wannian be in front, the noble daughter of Xiahou family in the back, and even the bridal chamber flowers and candles are divided into two stages! But now..."

Xun Yu didn't finish his speech, and what he said was not a big deal.

Can…

This word reached Cao Cao's ears, but it made him tremble all over.

Not only Cao Cao trembled.

Jia Xu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai... were all startled.

Who would have thought that the first hurdle would have come just after the prince succeeded to the throne.

Princess of Xiliang;

Lu Bu's daughter;
Jiangdong Sun Xiaomei...this marriage...is not easy to arrange.

You know, it's already embarrassing enough for the bridal chamber to be divided into two halves!

This time... the first, middle and second halves will be divided into four quarters, thanks to the fact that there is no more one, otherwise the first and second halves will be divided into four quarters!
In a normal person's way of thinking, everyone wants to get ahead, and no one wants to...use someone else's, right?

However, these three daughters... In terms of status and background behind them, no one is inferior to anyone else!

big trouble!
—What trouble!
...

...

Xu Ducheng, the school affairs office.

Cheng Yu was wearing Yanju casual clothes, he seemed to be in a good mood because he was happy...

In front of the gate of the school affairs office, he stomped his feet and mentioned the word "the universe is turning, and the dust has settled"!
Xu Shu is also at the side...

Xu Shu studied the evaluation carefully. "It is said that people are refreshed on happy occasions...' It seems that Mr. Cheng is still in good health. Even now, I still have a dull pain in my back from the whipping!"

Cheng Yu and Xu Shu can be regarded as the main contributors to this incident...

Of course, making the first contribution didn't make them happy?
On the contrary, Lu Yu became "Cao Yu" and Nanshouhou became "Prince of Great Wei". It's hard not to be excited about this matter.

There are very few school affairs on duty in the school affairs office today...

Mostly in groups of threes and fours, they went to celebrate.

Of course, not only the school office, but also the Longxiao camp... There are also forges, workshops, and refineries...

These workshops that are closely related to Lu Yu, because of the change of Lu Yu's identity, they are already expensive.

But only...Guo Jia and Ju Shou's mood is completely different from everyone else's.

When the two of them entered the school affairs office, they were a little preoccupied...

Seeing Cheng Yu and Xu Shu, Guo Jia immediately said: "It's such a good person to be in good spirits on happy occasions, Cheng Sima, Yuan Zhi...it's too early to be happy!"

Hmm... Xu Shu and Guo Jia are both from Yingchuan, and they have known each other since childhood.

Xu Shudao: "The school office is the direct descendant of the Prince of Wei. In the future, he will be promoted to a noble, and it will be no problem to glorify the lintel. Why does Feng Xiao say this?"

"Hehe..." Guo Jia seemed to see it more clearly, "Yuan Zhi's mood has changed!"

"How to say?" Xu Shu asked doubtfully.

"Yuanzhi in the past would not say such things, let alone attach so much importance to fame and fortune!" Guo Jia said with emotion: "Ziyu has become a prince, Yuanzhi is not immune, let alone other people?"

Guo Jia's words... suddenly woke up Xu Shu.

"call…"

He gasped sharply.

Guo Jia's words continued, "Before the prince was still the Marquis of Nanshou, Jiangdong was still undecided at that time, and Xiliang was at peace. Now...Jiangdong and Xiliang are attached, and there is only a corner of Bashu in the whole world that is still stubbornly resisting. Supplies, money and food, but people's hearts!"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia shook the wine gourd in his hand.

Born Guo Fengxiao, especially loves wine in a glass...

Only people like him who are open-minded, free and easy, and don't stick to fame and fortune can see the true meaning of this place.

But Guo Jia's words made Cheng Yu and Xu Shu silent for a moment...

Cheng Yu's original happy mood was swept away, "When starting a business, everyone wants to share a piece of the pie. ...and those nobles of Qiao Pei, they are the direct descendants of the king of Wei, not to mention... the great Wei is open to all rivers, and now the great Wei includes not only us, like Jushou, will there be any descendants of the Yuan family who will join him ? Will there be young Yingchuan scholars who will join Fengxiao and Yuanzhi? Hahaha..."

At the end, Cheng Yu smiled. While stroking his beard, he sighed...

He was a little naive just now.

——It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business!
...

...

The lights were out, and Yang Xiu and Sima Yi were sitting in the private room of a wine shop.

"Zhong Da seems to have something on his mind?"

"Don't you have something on your mind too?"

When two people are together, they are full of hearts and minds, and no one can hide it from the other.

Yang Xiu's eyes must be fixed, "In the past, Emperor Guangwu rejuvenated the Han Dynasty and set up 28 generals in Yuntai, which was full of glory. Today, you and my mentor are crowned princes, and you and I... as well as the school affairs office and the Longxiao camp are also in charge. Another honor of 'Yuntai 28 generals'! Congratulations!"

"Ah…"

Sima Yi immediately understood Yang Xiu's meaning, and asked back: "What a '28 Yuntai generals', but also from this 'Yuntai 28 generals', the clan has monopolized all resources step by step, commerce, agriculture... and even In the end, the recommendation of Qing Ping Xiaolian was also in the hands of clans from all over the country, and even the officialdom was monopolized...Perhaps, from then on, Guangwu Zhongxing was doomed to go downhill."

Well…

Sima Yi's words lifted Yang Xiu's spirit a lot.

"Zhongda is very knowledgeable."

"Dezu, you don't need to hide, you have thought of what I thought of, right?" Sima Yi narrowed his eyes, "Once upon a time, you and I were just disciples of Nanshouhou. Hou, Assistant School Office, Assistant Longxiao Camp... At that time our opponents were also in the clear, whether it was Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Liu Biao... But now, the teacher has become the prince, and our plan is no longer a city One county, but the world... but this great Wei."

Sima Yi said with emotion: "There is a lot of chaos, and there are only a few people who can really quell the chaos. Some have followed Wei Wang for dozens of years, and some have seniority. Some have the Yingchuan family as a helping hand, but we... what do we use? To govern the country? In the process of governing the country, if there is a conflict with those who have seniority and background? Can the prince not be embarrassed?"

Sima Yi's words made Yang Xiu feel lingering fear.

"Yeah, people say to fulfill their duties, but just doing their duty is not enough. In the past, we only had to deal with a few people, but now we have to deal with the entire Wei State, and soon, we have to deal with the whole world."

Speaking of this, Yang Xiu paused, "Emperor and courtiers, this is an eternal truth, but how to live peacefully, how not to follow the footsteps of the rise of the great Han clan, how difficult is this road! How difficult!"

Ha ha…

Speaking of this, Sima Yi actually laughed.

This smile caught Yang Xiu's attention.

"What is Zhongda laughing at?"

"When my teacher was teaching at the Taixue, he once proposed to us that there are two systems for selecting officials other than the inspection system, do you still remember?" Sima Yi asked.

Yang Xiu rolled his eyes, and immediately replied: "Nine-rank Zhongzheng system and imperial examination system?"

"Yes!" Sima Yi said firmly, "To curb the development of the clan and avoid following the footsteps of the Han, it is certainly not enough to rely solely on the Three Mutual Law. The first thing to bear the brunt is to carry out reforms in the selection of officials. No matter how powerful the crown prince is, he is still a person. He is impossible. Focus on all walks of life, remove the filth and keep the clean, remove the false and keep the true, and select the most suitable talents to help the prince with you and me, so that we can fundamentally eliminate the ills of the Han Dynasty and create a new era!"

hiss…

Yang Xiu's eyebrows furrowed more and more.

He pondered for a moment, then asked back. "I remember my teacher mentioned when he taught the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. This system of selecting officials divides talents into nine grades, upper-upper, upper-middle, upper-lower, upper-middle, middle-middle, lower-middle, lower-upper, and lower-middle. , Xiaxia, although to a certain extent solved the problem of lack of standards in the selection of officials, but in fact it was a compromise for the clan."

"That's right!" Sima Yi added, "My mentor suggested that the core of the Nine Rank Zhongzheng System lies in the 'Zhongzheng Official', who, as the person in charge of judging people in a certain area, is in charge of judging people in several counties in the state. It doesn’t depend on family background or career status! This is still selected within the clan, and it is still difficult for poor people with no background to stand for election! The so-called ‘it is based on the merits of talents, not the superiority of the family’ will sooner or later become empty talk, so…”

Talking here, Yang Xiu has fully understood what Sima Yi meant.

"What Zhongda wants to talk about is actually the 'imperial examination system' that my mentor is optimistic about, right?"

Yang Xiu raised his spirits. "Xiucai, Mingjing, Junshi, Jinshi, Mingfa, Mingzi, and Mingshu are various subjects. The examination content includes affairs policy, scriptures, essays, etc. Only by selecting talents through examinations can we truly achieve'Gai Yi When it comes to the quality of talents, it doesn’t mean that the family is high or low, and this also gives a lot of people with poor backgrounds a certain opportunity!”

Once upon a time, when Yang Xiu and Sima Yi were studying at Taixue, Lu Yu was lecturing on the imperial examination system...

Where would they both have thought...

There will be a day when the two of them will put that advanced "official selection system" into practice, this is crazy, this is crazy!

"only…"

"Zhongda, if you have something to say, you may as well speak up!"

"Abolish the examination system and implement the imperial examination system. This will shake the foundation of the aristocratic family. I'm afraid it will not be so easy... Those who implement it will definitely become the target of public criticism!"

"Hahahaha!" Yang Xiu laughed wistfully, "Sacrifices have been made since the reform of ancient times. Shang Yang's reform, Shang Yang was torn apart by a car...But it made Qin rich and strong! If there is no need to shed blood, then what is the use of you and me?"

"Dezu..."

Sima Yi softly called out Yang Xiu's name...

At this moment, a school official from the school affairs office knocked on the door, "Yang Caozhen, the school affairs office has an urgent report!"

"Say!"

After Yang Xiu gave an order, the school official quickly walked to his side and whispered something into Yang Xiu's ear with a soft voice.

Yang Xiu's eyes widened in vain...

This…

He was stunned for a long time before turning his head to look at Sima Yi.

—— "Zhongda, the promotion of the imperial examination system, there are actually some people who are willing to be the target of the public's criticism!"

The performance of this sentence, Yang Xiu's eyes inexplicably showed a lot of admiration.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed that this person... would actually send a "God Assist!"
