Chapter 486: Grandson?
In the mid-autumn of the fourth year of Taiping, an imperial examination order spread from Guanzhong to the north and south of the river.

As if clear water was dripping into a boiling oil pan, the land of Kanto, which was originally not very safe, immediately exploded and boiled...

Many people are waiting and watching, wanting to see what is the mystery behind this imperial examination?
But there are still some people, especially the common people who are under the princes of all parties, have no background, and don't feel that there is any bright future, but they can't wait.Those who are courageous and impatient don't even bother to think too much, so they pack their bags and embark on a journey.

These scholars may not be brilliant, but they are active masters.

They can see that those capable people are still hesitating and waiting to see.If you take the exam with those people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a bright future.Now Guanzhong is full of waste, and there is an urgent need for officials and talents.Moreover, it is the first time to open a subject to obtain a scholar, and the number of people is not large, but it is not that there is no chance.For the common people who are not very talented but are at the bottom, they can simply give it a go.

Therefore, although the land of Kanto was raging with flames of war, there were quite a few scholars coming and going.

Those who are close to Guanzhong will go straight to Guanzhong; those who are far away from Guanzhong will go around the war-torn area by boat and head towards Guanzhong.At the same time, Jingzhao, Xichuan Bingzhou and other places also opened their gates, and special personnel were responsible for receiving scholars who had traveled long distances from various places.

Although it is just a cup of hot water and a bed of bedding, it has moved countless people...

At the same time, the reactions of the various princes were also different.Cao Cao hoped to stop the war immediately and return to Xuchang to calm the impact of the imperial examination.Although most of Cao Cao's subordinates are dominated by aristocratic families, it is undeniable that Cao Cao also attaches great importance to scholars from common people and poor families.In Cao Cao's view, if a solution cannot be found as soon as possible, it will only take one or two years before all the scholars in the world will return to Guanzhong.

Yuan Shao's reaction was completely different from Cao Cao's.

The family background of four generations and three princes made Yuan Shao unavoidably have a kind of contempt for common people and lowly scholars.Although Tian Feng, who was imprisoned in the prison in Yecheng, asked someone to go to Shu Yuan Shao, and tried his best to explain the influence of the imperial examination.But Yuan Shao didn't bother to pay attention, instead he scolded the prison guards.

Poor scholars, untouchable ears!
Now Yuan Shao has the upper hand, and Jizhou has strong soldiers and strong horses.As long as you defeat Cao Cao, you can gain the status of the overlord of the Kanto.Occupy the land of three states and annex Xu and Yu two states.With one eye on Jiangdong and one eye on Jingxiang, great achievements are just around the corner!
Therefore, Yuan Shao must decide the outcome with Cao Cao.

Xuzhou Liu Bei also saw the impact of the imperial examination on him.But he is not worried, after all, Xuzhou is still far away from Guanzhong, and has little influence on him.The top priority is to stabilize Runan and occupy Yingchuan.If you can hold Han Emperor Liu Xie in your hands, you will have the capital to compete with Guanzhong.Besides, Liu Biao in Jingzhou is already terminally ill, and Liu Bei's mind has already begun to think about the five counties in Jingbei.

As for Jiangdong Sun Ce, he also discovered the power of the imperial examination.

But he couldn't stop this kind of thing.Instead of worrying about such unstoppable things, it is better to develop and strengthen your own strength.Similarly, Sun Ce also set his sights on Jingbei... Whoever has the biggest fist can gain a firm foothold in the future.

Most of the Kanto princes have the same idea...

******
"Is Han Qiong Suiyuan defeated?"

Dong Bi nodded lightly, "Let me just say, there is no way that Hei Si will lose to Yuan Shao... But this way, it is just right for me. Yuan Benchu ​​vowed to defeat Cao Cao, and he will fight Cao Cao with all his troops in Jizhou Now that we have lost for a while, we will definitely not give up."

While talking, he put the battle report on the desk, "But Liu Jingsheng probably won't be able to stand it anymore. It seems that there will be a battle between dragons and tigers in Jingbei."

Chen Gong sat upright, and said solemnly: "Ziyu's second brother is indeed not bad. He actually persuaded Sun Ce to send Zhou Yu to lead the navy into Jingnan. Xingba and Zhou Yu had fought several times, but suffered a lot. Now Jin Fanying is trapped in Yunmengze, and it is difficult to cooperate with the third master's actions."

"yes……"

Dong Bi wrinkled his eyebrows together, as if he was talking to himself, "The song is wrong, Zhou Langgu! Zhou Gongjin is really extraordinary, and with the courage of Gan Ning, it is difficult to resist. Jingnan waterways are densely covered. In the navy, Shasha will become a cripple walking on one leg. Then Zhou Gongjin can raid along the river. If a solution cannot be found as soon as possible, I am afraid that Shasha's life will be even more difficult.

Well, why isn't Sun Ce dead yet? "

In Dong Bi's already blurred memory, Sun Ce was assassinated not long after he gained a foothold in Jiangdong.

But for some reason, that guy is still alive and well.Dong Bi didn't feel anything at first, but gradually, he realized that something was wrong.How did Sun Ce die?It seems that a certain official was killed, and then he was assassinated to death by the official's followers.

Now that Yu Ji has arrived in Chang'an, I'm afraid Sun Ce will be very angry!

But why couldn't even find the disciple who assassinated Sun Ce?Could it be that because of the appearance of his butterfly, Sun Ce will not die?
It seems to be quite a headache...

Dong Yu pondered for a moment, stood up and said, "Gongtai, the weapons just developed by the Tiangong Supervisor will be sent from Xichuan to Jingnan in a few days. Before that, it is best to find one that can deal with Zhou Yu. The Jingnan waterway must be unimpeded, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger. You and Guangyuan work hard, and you must solve this problem as soon as possible. If Zhou Yu gains a firm foothold in Jingnan, I am worried that Rusha will be in danger."

"Here!"

Chen Gong also stood up and clapped his hands in response.

In fact, Dong Bi didn't know, it was a bit embarrassing for Chen Gong.Want to find someone who can deal with Zhou Yu?It is simply too difficult!
There is one candidate, and that is Zhuge Liang.However, although Dong Bi was interested in Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang was interested in him...

"By the way, it's been almost five months since Shi Yuan joined Jianning. Has there been any progress?"

Chen Gong said: "Two months earlier, General Gan had a victory report. According to Shi Yuan's design, he defeated Meng Dan for two consecutive battles in Jianning. But later he let Meng Dan go... Shi Yuan Yuan replied: "The Nanman is capricious. If you want to succeed in the first battle, you need to convince the Nanman... But since Zhongqiu, there has been no news from the Nanman. Presumably Shi Yuan and the others have gone deep into the Southern Wilderness, so it is not easy to spread the word."

Dong Bi nodded and smiled!

He was the first to see Pang Tong's letter.

Perhaps, it is really the hero who sees the same thing.After Dong Bi read Pang Tong's letter, he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing.The crouching dragon and phoenix chicks really deserve their reputation.At least in terms of treating Nanman, Pang Tong, who was only 27 years old, was exactly the same as Zhuge Liang in the future.Whether Zhuge Liang really captured Menghuo seven times, Dong Bi didn't know.But now, I'm afraid there will be a scene where Pang Tong captures Meng Dan seven times.

"Order Xu Rong Yanpu to step up the appeasement of Nanzhong, and send it to me as soon as there is any difficulty in the army."

After finishing speaking, Dong Bi stretched his muscles and bones, and said with a wry smile: "It's been a long time since I haven't fought in battle, my arms and legs are a bit old. It's only been three years since I returned to Chang'an, and I've gained a lot of weight. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll lose my weight." It's really annoying to have fat on my stomach. Forget it, I have to go back early today, and there are guests at home, but it's another troublesome thing. There is Lao Gongtai here."

Chen Gong smiled and nodded in agreement, watching Dong Bi walk out of Chengming Palace.

Annoyed?

It might actually be annoying.Everyone in Chang'an now knows that Dong Bi's only daughter, Cai Jie, has fallen in love with an ordinary third-school student.Moreover, it is said that the students of the three schools came from very ordinary backgrounds, and they were not under the rule of Guanzhong.Cai Jie, who is that?That's Dong Pi's daughter, and to put it bluntly, she's Princess Liang.He actually fell in love with a third school student, which surprised countless people.

What is even more surprising is Dong Bi's attitude.

It seems that there is no objection to this matter, at least compared to Cai Yan's clear attitude, Dong Bi's attitude is a bit ambiguous.

I'm afraid I went back early today because of this incident.After all, apart from this matter, Chen Gong couldn't think of anything else that bothered Dong Bi.

Hehe, being born into a big family can be troublesome sometimes...

Just as Chen Gong guessed, Dong Bi was really upset about this matter.Today, Cai Jie took the initiative to tell Dong Bi that he would bring the grandson of the palace.What grandson...isn't it Lu Xun!Dong Bi had also met Lu Xun in private, and he was indeed a good-looking talent.

If it matches Cai Jie, it's not too bad.

But the question is, what is Lu Xun's attitude now?What kind of purpose did he have to get close to Cai Jie?

Today, we must clarify this matter!
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Dong Bi's mind.It's just that the aura was fleeting, and it disappeared before Dong Bi could catch it.He sat on the horse, thoughtful.After a long time, he still couldn't think of any clues, so he could only shake his head and sigh.

As I get older, even my memory has become a little worse!
Ma Liang and Li Kui, who were following Dong Bi, did not speak either.

Some things they can ask, but some things they can't.Although I don't know why Dong Bi sighed, I can vaguely guess the clue.

Presumably the lord is having a headache right now!
The two looked at each other and could only smile wryly and shake their heads.

Back home, Dong Bi had just washed his face and changed into comfortable clothes when Cai Jie walked into the study gracefully.

"Daddy, why did you come back now!"

Dong Bi said in amazement: "What's the matter? I came back early today."

Cai Jie blushed and said softly, "Didn't you say that you want my daughter to bring him? He's here...he's been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Who!"

Dong Chuan didn't respond for a while.But from his daughter's angry expression, he soon came to his senses.Hastily said 'oh', "You mean that grandson. Well... I remember now. Since he is here, let him come in, are you afraid that I will eat him?"

"Daddy!"

Cai Jie's coquettish remark made Dong Pi laugh heartily.

After a while, a young man walked into the study.This young man is about seven feet eight inches tall, not very burly.A pair of light blue gowns, quite decent.His teeth are white, his lips are red, and his eyes are like bright stars.After walking into the study, he gave Dong Bi a deep salute.

"Grandson of the student palace, pay homage to Prince Liang Chitose!"

Slow!

Dong Bi was startled suddenly, as if he had caught some inspiration.

He stared blankly at the elegant and handsome young man in front of him, showing a thoughtful expression, and even forgot to ask the young man to sit down.

"Daddy!"

Cai Jie also didn't know why his own father suddenly behaved like this.First, he exchanged glances with the young man, and then called softly.

Dong Bi's fine eyes suddenly narrowed into a line at this moment.

"Girl, go out for a while, I have something to talk to him about!"

Cai Jie was startled, and was about to refuse.Unexpectedly, Dong Pi suddenly widened his eyes and glared at her.Don't look at Dong Bi's usual laughing and joking, and he is no older than his daughter or son.But when he became serious, even Cai Jie couldn't resist the kind of power that had been in the top position for a long time.Although he didn't know what Dong Bi was going to say to Gongsun, Cai Jie still responded aggrievedly, and quietly left the room.

He closed the door of the study room smoothly, and nodded vigorously towards Gongsun.

That means: Don't worry!

Gongsun smiled slightly and nodded towards Cai Jie.

In the room, only Dong Bi and Gongsun were left.Neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other.

After a while, Dong Bi suddenly said: "Should I call you Gongsun, or should I call you Lu Xun? How long are you going to hide it?"

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would be scared out of their wits.

But Lu Xun remained calm, "If Chitose thinks the time is right, the student will tell Wen Ji."

"It seems that you have already noticed it!"

"In Chang'an City, you can deceive the emperor, but you can't deceive Qiantui. After Qiantui returned to Chang'an from Hedong, the student already knew about it. However, the student Yu Wenji was sincere, but she didn't have any dirty thoughts. Chitose can fulfill both of us."

Dong Chuan smiled happily.

As expected of Lu Xun, at this moment he was not panicked, neither humble nor overbearing.

Since he can perceive it, presumably those other people, more or less, are also aware of it...

Dong Yu said: "I don't want to ask too much about the matter between you and Wen Ji. As long as you treat Wen Ji sincerely, I don't care if you are a grandson or Lu Xun? But if you betray Wen Ji...boy, even if you are Flee to the ends of the earth, and I can make your life worse than death."

"The ability of a thousand years, the students are very clear."

Dong Bi nodded, changed the topic, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Xun, I know you are a smart person, and I don't want to get around with you. Do you know why I left you alone?"

Lu Xun was startled for a moment, "Chitose must have something important to tell the students."

"Not bad!"

Dong Bi rubbed his cheeks, closed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I have something I need you to do now, I wonder if you are willing?"
