Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 677
The news of Cao Chong's entry into Shangshutai did not spread. Although Cao Pi was a little dissatisfied with this, he could not stop it. When Cao Cao taught them, he never interfered with their choices, nor did he intentionally guide them in political affairs. Inclination, therefore, the five sons of the Cao family have almost nothing in common. Dalang Cao Ang is a staunch old party, that is, he opposes various reforms in the court. Of course, this is also influenced by Xun You, who was the prime minister.

He opposed Cao Cao's blind innovation. According to the words in his letters, he can sum it up in one sentence. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. My father is too hasty, and there will be great difficulties.

For the elder son's words, Cao Cao did not reprimand and abuse, but was very happy, thinking that he could not be afraid of the current trend of innovation and stick to his heart, which was really a success.

The second son, Cao Pi, is also a radical reformist. Not long after he became a Wei Wei, he has already completed the innovation of the imperial guard. They were all kicked out of the palace, and more soldiers who retired from the Northern and Southern Army were chosen to guard the inside and outside of the palace and protect the safety of the emperor.

As for the third son, cough cough, it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it, you are a militant, and he is still studying in military science.

Cao Zhi, the fourth son, and Cao Chong, the fifth son, both supported innovation, but Cao Zhi opposed the New Tax Deal, while Cao Chong supported the New Deal.

Cao Chong had his own choice. Even though Cao Pi was an elder brother, he had no way to reprimand him. After all, even his father would not say much. Cao Pi thought for a long time, and finally wrote a letter to tell his father about Cao Chong.

Inside Houde Hall,

Liu Xi sat in front of the case and listened carefully.

Yuan Shang stood in front of him, the melancholy look on his face hadn't dissipated. The death of his father and brother made Yuan Shang mature in a very short time. The original frivolity and childishness disappeared without a trace. Without a trace, he frowned and said in a low voice: "Yesterday at [-]:[-], Guo Jia arrived at Cao's residence. Cao Pi led Cao Chong out to meet him. The three of them gathered in the guest room, and there were also two servants of the Cao family."

"Guo Jiayan: I heard that Mr. Wang won all four subjects? Cao Chongyan: It's just a fluke", Yuan Shang said slowly, almost repeating Guo Jia's words and deeds yesterday, Liu Xi was not surprised by this, nodded, Just then asked: "So, Guo Jia will come to see me soon?"

"Probably not. He returned to the Shangshu Mansion, probably to write a letter to report to His Majesty. He is very busy these days, and there is almost no chance to go out."

"Yeah, Xianfu, you've done a good job." Liu Xi nodded, and asked again: "You will also send me the news about Zhongda and Kong Ming later." Yuan Shang nodded, more than before. , the words were much less, Liu Xi looked at him, stood up suddenly, took Yuan Shang's hand, pulled him to the front of the case, and asked him to sit down too, Liu Xi sat opposite him, looked at him, and said : "Xianfu. I know that you have been suffering recently. If you have anything to do, you can contact me. I will help you."

"In the temple, I and you are monarchs and ministers, but in private, I am still your friend. If someone makes things difficult for you, you can just ask me."

"Your Majesty, no one made things difficult for me. It's just that my father left in a hurry. Many things in the family have fallen on me. There are also some twists and turns in the clan, but I can control it. Thank you, Your Majesty. "Yuan Shang said, looking a little lonely, Liu Xi sighed, and said: "Okay, then go and do your work."

Yuan Shang got up, bowed to the emperor, turned and left.

Liu Xi watched him leave, shook his head, didn't say much, the bigger the clan, the more complicated it is internally, when Yuan Shao was around, he could still control it, but after Yuan Shao passed away, all the burdens were gone. It fell on Yuan Shang. His second brother is still in Taixue, and he couldn't help Yuan Shang share some of the burden. In Yuan's family, to be honest, many people are thinking about the position of the patriarch. .

Suddenly, this young man seemed to be ten years older, and his back looked a bit vicissitudes.

It seems that we still have to find a way to help him, Liu Xi thought in his heart, and thought of the two people in this assessment, the first one is naturally Cao Chong, Liu Xi is still very happy for this four-subject champion Yes, such a great talent appeared in Yankang's first exam. Doesn't this just mean that God blesses Yankang?Liu Xi was also surprised that he promised Guo Jia to enter Shangshutai. He felt that he had to meet this all-rounder in person.

The other person was his cousin Liu Yi. He still remembered that when he first met Liu Yi, that boy was still a scrawny, frail child with a weak temper. It is rare to see him again. It is said that he has been studying back and forth between Taixue and Military Academy. Liu Xi really did not expect that this cousin could become the second champion of Nongsang.

Moreover, Liu Xi has also read all his other examination papers. Among them, he is very good at Confucianism, Nongsang, and Law. It stands to reason that his attainments in Confucianism and Law can also enter the top ranks. Third, he is ignorant only of counting, and he has not inherited Emperor Xiaokang's counting ability at all. You must know that Emperor Xiaokang was a great sage who could study counting with Liu Zi. How come none of his descendants inherited him What about talent in this area?
Liu Xi felt that it was a little troublesome. Logically speaking, if they passed the examination, they should be given official positions. Cao Chong's position was originally planned to be released for a period of time, and then brought back to the palace to replace Jia Xu in the future. He didn't expect that Guo Jia would take the initiative to find Cao Chong. Liu Xi thought about it for a long time, and felt that this is not bad. Shangshutai is a very important place. If Cao Chong can show enough talent, he will succeed Guo Jia or Xun Yu. good.

However, Liu Yi is going to be in trouble. He is the eldest son of King Chenliu, and he will inherit the throne in the future. Of course, princes and kings can no longer hold official positions. Think about a prince and king who is the third prince, who can sit there! !However, Liu Xi didn't quite understand what Liu Yi was thinking. If he wanted to inherit the throne, he should know that he would not be able to obtain an official position, so why should he participate in the assessment?
If you don't want to inherit, you haven't heard any news about it until now.
What was he thinking?
After Liu Xi thought about it, he still decided to meet this cousin first. Cao Chong was not in a hurry to see him, anyway, he had already figured out his location.

Liu Xi ordered Qi Yue, and Qi Yue immediately sent someone to find Liu Yi. Liu Xi sat in the Hall of Houde, carefully looking at Liu Yi's test paper, mainly studying Confucian classics. I could see his tendency, but Liu Xi became happier the more he looked at it, and sometimes he laughed out loud, because the test papers of this guy were really interesting, and his teacher was a ram, and he also walked on the ram. Compared with Cao Chong's answers, his answers are the real rams!

"Scholars are rich and people are not rich, how?"

"Kill the soldiers and help the people."

Liu Xi couldn't say whether Liu Yi's answer was correct, but he could imagine how angry the officials who reviewed Liu Yi's test papers were, and not giving him a hand was enough to prove the justice of these officials. After all, on the basis of the previous In terms of questions and answers, his answers were impeccable. It was only at the end when he expressed his political opinions that he showed his true ram's feet. The words of drawing a sword and cutting them accounted for [-]% of the entire article.
After nearly an hour, Qi Yue led Liu Yi to Houde Hall.

"Meet Your Majesty!!" Liu Yi said.

Liu Xi raised his head with a smile, and was about to speak, but was taken aback. Liu Xi's eyes widened, and he couldn't even close his mouth. Who is this? ?Where is my handsome cousin? ?
In front of him, stood a humanoid Cuju, which was very terrifying. Its body shape was almost three times that of Liu Xi. Liu Xi was not thin. Yuan Shu's disciple, who had practiced swordsmanship for many years, was only a little thinner than his predecessor. , but this Liu Yi, standing at the door, the emperor couldn't see Qi Yue behind him, he could barely see Qi Yue's exposed legs, Liu Yi didn't seem to notice, just grinning.

The flesh on the face has been inherited, and it looks extremely happy.

"Mom!!" Liu Xi called out.

"What's wrong with you??"

Liu Yi smiled embarrassingly, and said embarrassingly, "I gained a little weight."

a little? ?You're so fat that even your mother won't recognize you!
Liu Xi stood in a daze for a long time before he forced out a smile and said, "Sit down. Don't be so polite to me.. I am your elder brother. You can just call me elder brother..." Liu Xi Yi touched his head, smiled and came in front of Liu Xi, looking at the seat on the ground, he sat down with some difficulty, knelt in front of the emperor, but it was extremely uncomfortable, Liu Xi could see his discomfort , said helplessly: "Bring the Hu chair."

Qi Yue quickly moved the Hu chair, and Liu Yi felt better now.

Liu Xi finally understood why Father always had to sit on the Hu chair. Indeed, for a slightly obese person, sitting on his knees was not so comfortable, as it would press his stomach.
"Cough cough. Let's talk... why did you suddenly... um, grow a little flesh?" Liu Xi asked suspiciously, but he still remembered that when Liu Yi first arrived in Luoyang, he looked exactly like King Chen Liu. He is thin and weak, and looks like he has been suffering from long-term illness. Why does he suddenly seem to be a different person, and he can't see the original appearance at all. If you look carefully, the current him looks very much like Emperor Xiaokang. .He is fatter than Emperor Xiaoxian..
Liu Yi rubbed his stomach sadly, and said, "Brother, I don't know, I didn't overeat, I read every day, and as I read, I became like this, Master said This is because I have pen and ink in my belly."

"Hahaha" Liu Xi couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and asked solemnly: "Okay, let's not talk about it in advance, why did you suddenly take part in the assessment? Why, you still want to be the king and the king at the same time?" official??"

Liu Yi shook his head and said, "Brother, I have already written to my father. I don't want to inherit the title of the king. Let my younger brother go."

"Oh? Don't inherit it? Why, you don't want Chen Liu from Nuo Da? You have to think about it. Even if you become an official and become a Sangong, the fief will not exceed one county. Leave it to the king."

"Brother, I've already thought about what's so good about the princes and kings? I'm just mediocre all day long, unable to do anything, and I can't even leave my fief." Liu Yi said, realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly covered his mouth. He pursed his lips and looked at Liu Xi. Liu Xi didn't blame him, but just looked at him helplessly, and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, if you want to be an official, then be an official. But, don't regret it in the future, as long as you Once you become an official, you don’t have to think about this prince anymore.”

"Brother, don't worry, I know that King Chen Liu can't compare to the position of San Gong."

"Hey, pay back San Gong?? You think it's not bad"

"Brother!" Liu Yi gradually became solemn, and said, "As a child of the clan, you should not live in one place, and do things for the king and the state!" Liu Xi looked at him in surprise, and Liu Yi patted his stomach again. , Said: "I am the grandson of Emperor Renzong Xiaokang!!", this action completely destroyed his sense of solemnity just now, Liu Xi rubbed his forehead and felt a headache.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a click, and the chair suddenly split open.

Liu Yi fell to the ground, clutching his buttocks, and stood up quickly.

Liu Xi widened his eyes, looking at the bearded chair left by his father
"Brother, don't be angry, I didn't mean it, I will pay for it"
