Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Yang Xiu came here to see that Xu Zhen would leave on time at noon every day, no matter what happened.

In the past, others said that he was within the statute of limitations and dedicated himself...

Yang Xiu didn't really believe it yet, but what he saw and heard during the day together, he already firmly believed it.

This gentleman is really not an ordinary person, he has such energy and no sense of fatigue, he even comes to the barracks at noon to deal with things, practice soldiers and perform martial arts.

Iron body.

"It all follows."

Xu Zhen smiled lightly, patted him on the shoulder generously, and immediately entered the military tent.

In this army tent, all the generals are terrified, and Dian Wei is the most murderous. When he is on duty, he holds two halberds and glares at him.

This made Yang Xiuping a little more apprehensive. He really didn't dare to be arrogant when he came here, and even walked with a slight bow, because Xu Zhen had the ability to kill him without being blamed.

The status of this monarch is now unique within the Cao family.

Xu Zhen took care of the military affairs in the barracks, heard Jia Xu report the current income, and the military equipment, money and food allocated to the army by Cao Ang, and counted everything in the logistics warehouse.

When noon was about to pass, he arranged for the next important military drills, and ordered Dianwei to send troops to the counties under his jurisdiction to stop recruiting troops to keep the people quiet.

Finally left.

He was also very determined when he left.

It was the same in the afternoon, continuing to manage the administration, sweeping the papers, writing comments and sending them to the Minister's Office until sunset. Xu Zhen immediately stepped down and went back, but Yang Xiu still had a lot of auxiliary tasks in his hands that had not been completed.

After recording what Xu Zhen had arranged, he had to go to Xun Yu again. It was not until he stood in front of Xun Yu that he understood what despair was.

Xun Yu buried his head in sorting out the letter, without even looking at who it was, and said casually: "Kong Ming, please wait a little while for me to ask, and you can answer and discuss many matters immediately after discussion."

"Your Majesty, Yang Dezu, Xun Lingjun is well..."

In desperation, Yang Xiu bowed and saluted.

As a member of the noble family, Xun Yu had heard of this name a long time ago, and also knew that his father was Yang Biao, and also knew that this Yang Dezu had become famous since childhood.

So slightly raised his head to look at him, smiled and said, "It's the same."

Yang Xiu: "..."

Just like that, Xu Zhen was already studying at home, and when he was about to enjoy the quiet night with his wives, Yang Xiu was still working with Xun Yu as a director all night.

Xun Yu didn't complain a single word, so Yang Xiu could only endure it patiently. Xun Yu didn't have so many things to do. The main reason was that the faster Xu Zhen dealt with it, he had to accept the order as soon as possible and ask the emperor to issue an edict. He is not surprised at all with his temper.

……

This matter spread throughout Xudu overnight.

"The son of Taiwei Yang Biao is now an official in the prime minister's mansion, and it is said that he is assisting Shu Chenghou."

"I haven't been able to rest all day and night. People are so tired that they are out of shape. No matter how strong your body is, you can't resist Xu Junhou and Xun Lingjun playing like this. He is young, how can he suffer from these pillars of the country."

"Hu She, I remember that the son of the Taiwei is about the same age as the Junhou?"

"It's absolutely impossible, Junhou is big! Junhou must be big! I know the merits of Junhou."

"But it is a great blessing in life to be able to be taught by Junhou and Xun Lingjun in a day and night. Besides, his father is a Taiwei!"

"I also want to have a Taiwei father!!!"

"Dream, your father is just riding Cao, it is impossible in this life."

"Pooh!"

It was spread from ten to ten, and it gradually spread to the entire Xudu like a wave. Yang Biao, who had nothing to do for a whole day and was so angry that his chest hurts, just returned home. When he heard the news, he was so angry that he went straight to bed. Sleeping, his wife couldn't scream no matter what, but in fact his wife screamed with all her strength that day.

The Taiwei was still downcast, completely indifferent, and in desperation, the two fell asleep leaning against each other without speaking.

At this moment, in the mansion of the school affairs mansion, the two old friends drank until the dark and chatted about their lives.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai have not seen each other for a long time. They became famous in the battle of Jizhou. They commanded soldiers and horses to crush Yuan Shao's former army with three strategies. Now Cao Cao's counselors are harmonious, and Yuan Shao's counselors are separated. This is the same as Guo Jia The words he scolded before he left were almost the same. He hadn't been ridiculed for a lifetime, and he was truly elated.

The only regret is that he was pulled back by Xu Zhen, a bastard, so he couldn't go to Jizhou and step on Yuan Shao's face to smash Weijun and Qinghe.

"I really don't know what Bowen is planning to do..."

"Handling government affairs day and night, making no mistakes and leaving no excuses, we have seen these days. Maybe we can rest assured if we continue like this, we will definitely be envied by others."

Xi Zhicai sighed, he actually started to worry about Xu Zhenlai, you must know that a few years ago, Xi Zhicai didn't care about Xu Zhen's life and death at all, maybe it's because he is older now, with higher achievements, and is no longer the same as before. It's time to survive.

There is more softness in the heart.

But after hearing what he said, Guo Jia still sneered, then Yang Bo drank a bowl of wine and said, "Isn't it a matter of time?"

"But I think Bowen shouldn't care about this matter. Now that he even dares to bring Taiwei Yang's son with him, there are already two kinds of guesses." Guo Jia stretched out two fingers, "One is suspicion." Xu Zhen and the emperor are very close, don't forget, as soon as Bo Wen came back, the emperor wanted to ask him to talk alone, but he was rejected."

"The second type is that Xu Bowen is open-minded. He has no fear of people's words at all. He does things impartially. It doesn't matter who he comes to. As long as he is talented, he will be treated equally. If this is the case, I admire his character, but I don't think highly of his self-confidence. After all If there are too many speculations in the future, the lord will inevitably dismiss him to show his authority and suppress gossip."

"Hahaha!" Xi Zhicai laughed loudly, with his hands behind his back, his face was flushed, his eyes were full of fanaticism, and he said immediately: "Then I also think it is the second type. , and later promoted the benevolent government to divide the land among the people, you already understand that Xu Bowen, like you and me, will not leave a name for the history."

"Relegation is relegation, there is always a chance." Xi Zhicai lamented quite chicly, people from poor families like them would not value high-ranking officials and generous salary more than their lives, and ambition is the biggest. Official salary is a bonus in the chase, what is given is nothing.

Why do you think so?It's just because for so many years, the merits of those from poor families and white-bodied scholars who are talented have basically been taken away by noble families, and there is no way to get them back, and there is nowhere to report them. I don't want you anymore" lofty ideas, only pursuing ambitions and unrestrained, and achievements are regarded as the bones fed to the gentry by default.

Of course, there are only spineless people who think this way.

"Hmph, how many youths can there be in life? Bowen is the youngest Shaofu, the youngest prince of six thousand households."

Guo Jia dismissed Xi Zhicai's words, and said, "If I were him, I would marry a wife and take concubines as soon as possible."

"He himself can be the biggest gentry, with staggered marriages, a court that never falls into the clouds, and a fierce army under his command. He should be the pillar of the country, and he is also a poor young man. No wonder he refuses to accept it. Wait for the lord to come back. I expected that Bowen would step down immediately, but I just couldn’t see what he was doing with Yang Dezu, to leave something for himself, or to say...the Han Dynasty or Yang Xiu, intentionally harming Bowen??”

Guo Jia suddenly thought suspiciously, Mosuo looked at the wooden floor below him with his eyes absent-minded, with his bushy beard on his chin.

Although Xu Zhen brought him back with him, and Guo Jia also scolded him for seven or eight days while drinking and eating hot pot, but when he thought of these people and wanted to murder Xu Zhen, he felt inexplicably angry.

Just bully Xu Bowen with a frank mind and don't like darkness, right?

"This matter is incomprehensible, but I predict that after the news spreads, seeing this Yang Dezu tonight will probably make him famous in Xudu."

"Being able to keep up with all the affairs of the Shaofu and Shangshutai, and not retreat sooner or later, does not appear to be dull. This is not only a matter of temperament, but also a matter of quick thinking and wisdom. The thinking must be fast."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, nodded slightly, "Look again."

Guo Jiaxu looked closely, he always felt that Yang Dezu's approach to Xu Zhen was not necessarily a good thing, and maybe there might be some purpose.

Although Xu Bowen is very talented, but his heart is not vicious, and his willingness to accept is basically out of kindness and magnanimity. If it is because of this, he would be too stupid to be assassinated by Yang Xiu in the future, or be forcibly drawn into alienation by the nobles. This Yang Dezu... is still secretly Pay attention.

Guo Jia thought.

……

At this time, in the courtyard at the southeast corner of the inner city, the Sima family's mansion was placed here. The Sima family still has Sima Fang as a court officer, and Sima Lang is an official in the prime minister's mansion.

However, Sima Yi and Sima Fu had just obtained their studies, and Sima Yi was old enough to be expropriated once, but refused due to illness.

In the deep courtyard, Sima Yi leaned on the railing and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Although he was young, he was already mature and old. He leaned on the recliner facing upwards to enjoy the cool.

This reclining chair, no one has done this before, it is made by Xu Junhou.

"Hum..."

After a while, he found that he was not sleeping peacefully, in fact he couldn't sleep at all.

The news of Yang Dezu becoming famous overnight, of course, reached his ears, and he was a little moved from the bottom of his heart.

But he didn't want to be under the eunuch's ugly Cao family. Since Cao Teng's time, the gentry and eunuchs have been opposites. The hatred between each other is too deep. He can't take this step, and then go under the Cao family. Conquered as an official.

My eldest brother, Sima Lang, used to be an official for Dong Zhuo in Chang'an. According to others... the eldest brother looked a little like Dong Zhuo's dead son.

Of course, those were all rumors.

In any case, it was saved under Dong Thief's hands, and at this time it was the autumn of life and death.

"Yang Dezu begged to enter Xu Zhen's door."

Sima Yi has disheveled hair and is wearing a black robe on the reclining chair. His eyes are quite blurred, and he can't tell the emotion on his face. He is still very young now, his beard is sparse on his face, and his complexion is slightly thin.

After laying down for a while, I felt strange again. In the past, this recliner was always very comfortable, why was it so uncomfortable to lie down tonight!
I didn't feel tired or sleepy after tossing and turning, and my mood became more and more irritable. The main reason was that after I came to conscript myself to escape last time, I really never came to ask again.

My father is getting older, and my eldest brother is doing his best in the prime minister's mansion, so he probably won't do much. Now that he has Yang Xiu's reputation over him, he has been known by the officials overnight. When his father retires, basically There is no one among the upper class.

"That's it!"

Sima Yi lay on his side with a bang, and the beautiful woman sitting on the railing not far away showed a wry smile, "What are you doing? Tonight, after hearing the news from Yang Xiu, you started to sit and stand. Uneasy."

"If you really want to become an official and make a difference, then you should ask for orders. Xu Junhou knows people well, understands reason, and will definitely appoint you."

Sima Yi immediately got up and looked at his wife suspiciously, "You, you know Junhou very well?"

Zhang Chunhua shook his head blankly, "No, I don't even know him."

Bang, after hearing this, he lay down again, "Then you said it firmly, as if you have known each other for many years, do you still know the character of that prince?"

"Don't you all say that, hey, isn't the recliner you sleep on now also the first to be used by others before it became popular."

"Hmph," Sima Yi didn't know what to do, turned around, and then turned back worryingly to look at his wife again.

To see if she showed the appearance of a young girl Huaichun while she was not paying attention, she was stared at this look, "What do you think I am doing?! Look at your appearance! I can't do it if I want to eat it!"

When Sima Yi turned his head, his expression was seldom controlled, and his natural eagle's gaze was fierce and powerful.

"No, no..."

With a relaxed expression, he quickly turned around and lay down, and secretly sighed, "Oh."

This matter should not be contested day and night, should look at the long-term.

In the next few decades, when fame and wealth are indifferent and the heart is peaceful, these current celebrities will gradually drift away like fallen leaves, blowing away with the wind...

Yang Dezu gained power and got his name, and he got his.

It has nothing to do with me.

In the next few decades, I will just wait!Bowen Junhou... can't be evergreen, never grow old!

……

[For forty days in a row, you eat on time, the food is carefully cooked food, life span +5 months]

[Life span: 101 hours on January 6, 12 years]

"It's delicious."

Xu Zhen cheerfully praised Ganmei's cooking skills.

Eating on time for forty consecutive days, coupled with the thoughtful craftsmanship of his lovely wife at home, allowed Xu Zhen to live so comfortably for dozens of days.

Coupled with the substantial increase in life expectancy, the Han Dynasty should still have some time to live. I hope that such a peaceful and victorious life can last for several years, which is great.

"Ma'am, do you want to stay young forever?"

"Ah?! Husband still has this kind of ability!?" Ganmei's face was as white as jade with a smile on her face, thinking that Xu Zhen was just making a joke, "I recently studied poetry and Fu with sister Zhaoji, and I never learned it when I was young. I felt that when I was learning to read and write, I was much younger."

"As long as my husband doesn't worry, Ganmei will feel youthful, and it will be fine if my husband starts."

"Don't go to the battlefield to take risks."

Gan Mei said softly, looking at it more affectionately, her hair fell to her forehead.

Xu Zhen was also taken aback, seeing that there was still time in the sky, glanced left and right, licked her lips awkwardly, picked up Ganmei and went to the inner room.

He intends to severely test the [Iron Kidney] feature!
……

At the same time, Cao Cao, who was far away in Yecheng, Weijun, had already received reports from Xudu during this period.

In Guo Jia's school affairs handbook, Xu Zhen's evaluation was just one sentence.

"Be loyal to your duties, stay up day and night, and hope that the lord will return in victory as soon as possible."

"Well, Bowen lived up to my expectations."

Cao Cao read Guo Jia's comments first, and then read the detailed report, but his heart became more and more joyful.

That kid, as long as he doesn't lose face, he lives up to his trust.
