We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

As soon as Yang Biao spoke these words, Liu Xie's brows wrinkled.

He didn't know about Cao Cao's selection of Su Wei.

The palace guards are naturally very important to Liu Xie.

As these words came out this time, Liu Xie's expression became serious involuntarily.

At this time, as Yang Biao opened his mouth to question, Cao Cao looked calm.

"Your Majesty is the most important person in the Han Dynasty. Naturally, I selected Su Wei for the sake of your Majesty's safety!"

"Is it possible that the Taiwei thinks that I choose to serve as a guard for His Majesty because I intend to hurt Your Majesty?"

Cao Cao was justified and turned around to question Yang Biao.

Yang Biao chuckled when he heard this: "I was wrong!"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Biao paused and continued to speak.

"I heard that Sikong has been recruiting talents for advice. There is a word in my family called Xiu, which can be considered humble and respectful. I wonder if Sikong intends to let him serve as an official under Sikong!"

Yang Biao suddenly changed his tone and immediately wanted his son to become an official under Cao Cao in front of everyone without any scruples.

As soon as he said these words, Cao Cao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

They are both three male ministers. If Yang Biao wants his son to become an official, he has many choices.

Now he is saying that he wants to serve as an official under his command. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to disgust him?

After hearing this, Cao Cao was not polite.

"The Taiwei has commended you. Since Er Na Quanzi is capable, you might as well recommend him to Your Majesty!"

"I once read what Lu Shi said in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the Spring and Autumn Period in the past, there was a Jin man named Qi Xi. Duke Ping of Jin once asked Qi Xi who could serve as the general of the Jin Kingdom, and Qi Xi recommended his son."

"Later generations will talk about this matter, which is why they should not avoid relatives when promoting talents!"

"Why don't you emulate this today, Lieutenant Commander?"

This statement was clearly promoting Yang Biao, and even Cao Cao used allusions from the Spring and Autumn Period to make matters clear.

If you listen to this alone, it seems like Cao Cao is openly promoting Yang Biao.

However, when Cao Cao spoke just now, he directly said that Yang Biao's son was a dog.

In addition, the following words are obviously mocking Yang Biao.

Your son is a dog, go and let him be a dog for His Majesty!

When Cao Cao finished speaking, Yang Biao's face turned red.

He couldn't respond to this yet.

He can't say that there is something wrong with Cao Cao's allusion. Cao Cao's words are correct. Since your son is capable, you can just recommend him to the emperor directly as a lieutenant.

I, Cao Cao, did not allow your son to serve under me.

The atmosphere in the main hall was a bit stagnant, as if he was embarrassed. Yang Biao had a dark face, and no one spoke.

Xi Yu looked indifferent.

Liu Xie didn't have much opinion on this. The courtiers were tit for tat, but he, the emperor, seemed to be a normal person.

In the theater hall.

Some people are in a happy mood and eat very happily, while some people feel as if there are stones in their mouths and taste the same as chewing wax.

At the same time, in the actor's back house.

Gan Mei and Cai Yan accompanied the current Empress Fushou of the Han Dynasty.

In terms of age, Gan Mei and Cai Yan are older than Fu Shou. Now, as women, they are more outstanding than Fu Shou in some aspects.

The three of them sat in the heated back hall for a long time.

Faced with Fu Shou's identity in front of them, both Gan Mei and Cai Yan seemed a little cautious.

Feeling the warmth in the house, and looking at the two beauties in front of him, their faces seemed to be glowing.

Fu Shou couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"I'm a little envious of my two sisters. I heard that Da Sinong created this earth-heating thing for my two sisters."

Fu Shou has no airs about being a queen. To her, her position as queen is just a false name now.

Although the Han Palace was luxurious and extravagant, she was very aware of the coldness within it.

Compared to Gan Mei and Cai Yan in front of me.

Perhaps the life in front of you is what makes women all over the world yearn for it more!

Hearing the envy in Fu Shou's mouth, Cai Yan and Gan Mei couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Although they are not as good as Fu Shou in terms of status, the two of them have long been content.

What's more, the two of them have often heard about the current situation of the Han Emperor.

The emperor is a pitiful man, let alone his queen!

Even more pitiful than that!

"The Queen's words are serious. When I heard that I will be the prisoner, I have already rebuilt the floor heating equipment. Soon there will be floor heating in the palace."

Fu Shou smiled, but his smile was a little bitter.

What she was referring to was not the warmth of the floor heating. Even if there was floor heating in the Han Palace, it would not matter.

What's cold is inside the palace, and what's cold is the walls of the palace.

It is also the human heart that is cold.

There are some things that the two people in front of them may not understand at all.

Fu Shou didn't say much, but shook her head slightly. At this moment, she glanced at what seemed to be a strange pipe standing not far away from the back hall.

Subconsciously she pointed in that direction and asked casually.

"what is that?"

Ganmei turned around, and after seeing the thing from Yuan Chu, she quickly explained.

"Queen, that's the water pipe that my husband asked the general to help build. It's a tap water pipe. That's where my family gets its water!"

Um?

Water pipe?

“What is tap water!”

Fu Shou naturally had no idea about this kind of thing that he had never heard of before.

Just hearing Gan Mei's explanation, she still didn't understand.

Tap water?

Isn't the water specially drawn from the well? That thing doesn't look like a well!

"The Queen might as well go over and take a look in person?"

Gan Mei knew that tap water was difficult to explain. When Xi Yu fixed it, her family and Cai Yan didn't understand it immediately.

Upon hearing Gan Mei's invitation, Fu Shou did not hesitate, and immediately stood up and followed Gan Mei towards the water pipe.

The thing in front of me looks like a fierce tiger's head, with the tiger's mouth slightly open. There is a round thing above the head.

Fu Shou opened his eyes and looked at the things with some confusion. Gan Mei beside him smiled and took the initiative to demonstrate.

I saw Ganmei reaching out and gently twisting the thing on the tiger's head, and then clear water flowed out of the tiger's mouth.

The water flow is not big, like a gurgling stream.

Such a sight made Fu Shou's eyes widen in an instant.

It's winter now, and it's hard to believe that there is such clear water readily available.

What's more, this water doesn't need to be picked from the well.

"Da Si Nong's methods are really unheard of!"

"Come to think of it, this thing must be the same as the waterwheels that are rumored outside now!"

When Fu Shou followed Liu Xie in Yanzhou, he saw those waterwheels. The things that blew with the wind naturally drove the water to irrigate the farmland.

At that time, she felt a little emotional. Now that she saw this thing, she understood it more or less.

"The Queen is right!"

Cai Yan smiled and explained casually. She was naturally smart. Xi Yu had only explained it to her before, but Cai Yan had already memorized it.

Now it is very clear.

"My husband said that this thing uses the so-called water pressure to make water come out..."

Fu Shou listened in a daze. Although Cai Yan explained things about water pressure very clearly, she didn't understand what he said at all.

However, she could clearly see that Cai Yan's eyes were shining when he explained.

Especially when Xi Yu was mentioned, the smiles on the faces of the two people nearby became thicker.

…

Xi Yu didn't know what happened in the backyard. He knew that his two wives had almost blown themselves into pieces.

In the main hall, the meal is finally over.

Liu Xie originally planned to stay, but when he noticed that Xi Yu's expression was already a little unhappy, he understood more or less.

He knew that if he continued to stay, these ministers would also stay here.

He simply got up and planned to return to the palace.

As Liu Xie left, Yang Biao and others naturally also left immediately.

Cao Cao didn't stay long. He said hello to Xi Yu and left with Xun Yu and others.

The person walking at the end surprised Xiyu.

"How is your uncle doing well these days?"

"Sir, you are very prepared!"

Liu Bei walked last. What he saw today was an eye-opener for Liu Bei.

After learning about Xi Yu's creation of Qu Yuan Li and other objects, Liu Bei knew that Xi Yu was a rare talent in the world.

Nowadays, even things like floor heating can be built.

Liu Bei knew that this thing was more than just what it seemed.

If every household in the world had such an object, no one in the Han Dynasty would freeze to death during the cold winter months.

Unfortunately, this thing is not that easy to build.

And now Xuchang, together with the new stone nirvana introduced in various places, is already extremely beneficial to the people.

And all of this is because of the person in front of him.

What would it be like if Xiyu in front of him was willing to help him?

Liu Bei had some feelings in his heart.

He bowed his hand towards Xi Yu.

"To be honest, being called the emperor's uncle is just a sign of affection from His Majesty!"

"I am in Xuchang, and now I am alone. Just like drinking water, I can only know whether it is warm or cold!"

Seeing that Liu Bei was not in a hurry to leave, Xi Yu was somewhat interested.

After inviting Liu Bei to sit in the main hall again, Xi Yu looked up at Liu Bei.

"I wonder what kind of world Xuande Jun is yearning for in his heart?"

Xi Yu asked Cao Cao this question, so now he might as well ask Liu Bei.

After all, these two people can be regarded as stirring up the storm of this era, Xi Yu is still somewhat curious.

There was only a certain person named Sun who couldn't get his turn yet, so Xi Yu didn't take it to heart at all.

Xi Yu's words seemed to be asking about Liu Bei's ambitions.

After hearing this, Liu Bei's heart couldn't help but beat suddenly, and his whole body was throbbing.

Although the Xiyu in front of him was not in the same position as him.

But Liu Bei felt that Xi Yu and Cao Cao were not the same kind of people.

Even if he said what was on his mind, Xi Yu would not say it casually.

"The world I want in my heart is one where everyone has food, people live in peace, and there is no unprovoked war or chaos in the world!"

Liu Bei's response was not that of Cao Cao, which surprised Xi Yu a little.

This accident only lasted a moment, and Xi Yu thought about it soon after.

After all, the life situations of Liu Bei and Cao Cao are different.

Cao Cao came from a famous family. His grandfather had been the Third Duke since he was young, and his playmates were all descendants of famous families like Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei was different. His ancestors were in decline. By Liu Bei's generation, although the entire Liu family village was Han clan clan.

But in the final analysis, they are just a group of ordinary villagers.

In the early days, Liu Bei relied on saving the son of an uncle before he was able to receive funding to become a disciple of Lu Zhi.

The two people's early situations were very different.

Liu Bei had seen the suffering of the people with his own eyes, so it was normal for him to say this.

"Mr. Xuande, please don't forget what you said today!"

Xi Yu smiled and said nothing more.

At the moment, Liu Bei doesn't have the ability to make too many changes.

As for the future, no one can be sure.

Liu Bei was a little stunned. He thought that after he responded, Xi Yu would talk about his ideals with him, but he didn't know that it was just a sentence of "don't forget" and it was over.

There seemed to be nothing left to say.

Liu Bei also understood to some extent that there was probably nothing much he could say today.

"Sir, I don't have many friends in Xu County. If you don't mind me, I'll visit you again the next day!"

Before leaving, Liu Bei smiled and said something to Xi Yu.

Hearing this, Xiyu didn't refuse.

Whether you welcome it or not depends on the situation.

Of course, not to mention Liu Bei, even Liu Xie and Cao Cao are the same!

Not long after Liu Bei left.

Xi Yu was just thinking that he was feeling a little quieter, but who knew that Cao Cao turned back halfway.

"When did Fengyi close the door?"

Cao Cao looked at the closed door of the opera house in front of him and felt a little confused.

Xi Zhicai beside him was also a little dazed. He was confused just now and forgot that this was also his home.

By some strange coincidence, he left with Cao Cao.

Only when he was blown by the cold wind halfway along did Xi Zhi realize why he had to follow Cao Cao.

Unexpectedly, when he was returning, Cao Cao said that he had something to discuss with Xiyu, so he came with him.

However, right now, the theater's door is closed, and there is even a sign saying thank you at the door.

It really makes people a little speechless.

Xi Zhicai took the initiative to knock on the door, and not long after, Dian Wei, who was Xi Yu's guard, took the initiative to open the door.

"Mr. Zhicai is back!"

Dian Wei said hello and then planned to close the door.

Cao Cao was in a daze at the door. He was such a big man, and Dian Wei seemed to be unable to see him.

"Dianwei, I haven't gone in yet!"

Cao Cao's face turned dark. Who would have thought that Dian Wei would follow suit and replied.

"Sir, you said you won't see any guests today, Sikong, please go back!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the veins on Xi Zhicai's head jumped as he just entered the gate.

"Dianwei, what are you talking about? Sikong is my guest. I'll go talk to Fengyi!"

Xi Zhicai casually explained that he knew it was useless to compete with Dian Wei, so he turned around and said that Cao Cao was his guest.

Hearing this, Dian Wei didn't say much.

After opening the door, Cao Cao was able to enter.

After entering, Cao Cao followed Xi Zhicai and went straight to the main hall. At this time, Xi Yu was sitting alone in the main hall making tea.

Seeing Cao Cao appear in front of him again, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Brother is here again?"

Xi Yu was not polite at all, and Cao Cao was not surprised.

After sitting down on the edge, Cao Cao didn't say anything. He opened his mouth and sighed repeatedly.

Xi Zhicai next to him didn't say anything. Xi Yu looked at Cao Cao and understood in an instant.

"Brother, what worries are there in your heart? Why are you sighing like this!"

Cao Cao's behavior showed that he was just waiting for him to speak, and he didn't mind giving Cao Cao face.

As Xi Yu spoke, Cao Cao looked at Xi Yu again.

"Fengyi should know what brother Wei is thinking, why bother asking?"

Cao Cao raised his eyes to see this Xi Yu, and sighed again: "You tell me, how should Cao deal with this now!"

The corners of Xiyu's mouth twitched.

Xi Yu could more or less guess what Cao Cao was thinking.

It's nothing more than a matter of Yang Biao and others.

Now that the imperial capital has been moved to a new location, all the courtiers who followed Liu Xie have followed.

There are carrots and holes in the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao wants to arrange his own manpower. Those people occupying positions are naturally a trouble.

But at the moment, Cao Cao can't attack those people directly, he has to think of a name.

“Brother, it’s not difficult to be worried!”

Seeing that Cao Cao refused to leave, Xi Yu had no choice but to speak up.

"any solution?"

As soon as he heard that Xi Yu really had a solution, the pretense of sadness on Cao Cao's face immediately dissipated.

Cheng Yu, his counselor, had told Cao Cao before.

Now that he has the power in his hands, he can completely act like a king without having to worry about it.

But this kind of matter is too straightforward, and some people will inevitably say that he is the same as Dong Zhuo back then.

Cao Cao still had some scruples about this.

Now that Xi Yu has an idea, Cao Cao naturally wants to hear it.

"First, brother, you don't need to care about those people. Now that the emperor is on your side, the entire Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and half of Yuzhou are under my control. There is nothing wrong for me to learn from Dong Zhuo!"

After saying this, Cao Cao's expression did not change.

He heard Xi Yu say that this was one, which meant there must be another.

Naturally, he wanted to hear what Xiyu had to say next.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't react much, Xi Yu continued to speak.

"Secondly, my brother issued recruitment orders in the name of the imperial court, claiming that he was recruiting talents for the imperial court!"

Recruitment order?

Hearing what Xi Yu said, Cao Cao was suddenly confused.

He had issued a recruitment order when he was in Yanzhou before, and it was precisely because of the recruitment order that Xi Zhicai, Xi Yu and others came.

Now that a recruitment order has been issued, how can we contact Yang Biao and others?

"Recruiting talents, I understand, what is the meaning of this!"

Cao Cao was puzzled.

Xi Yu had no choice but to explain: "My brother's recruitment order this time is naturally different from the previous one!"

"Previously, my brother released it in his own name. This time, he released it in the name of the imperial court!"

"I plan to let my brother ignore the nobles of the family. Anyone who has the ability to recruit talents can apply for this recruitment!"

"Secondly, issuing recruitment orders for the imperial court naturally also means arranging positions for these people!"

"When the time comes, in this court, people will be judged based on their ability. New people will come, and some of them will have to move their positions!"

Xiyu's tone paused.

"Furthermore, with the imperial court issuing a recruitment order, all capable people in the world will defect to Xuchang. This move will definitely increase my brother's reputation."
