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

This statement made Xi Zhicai feel refreshed.

"Brother, I feel that your words are too philosophical."

Xi Yu thought to himself, could this not be philosophical? This itself was stolen by me.

That night, Xi Zhi asked Xi Yu to rest in the same room as him.

The bed itself is also very big.

Xi Yu knew that his brother wanted to talk to him sincerely.

The two of them also talked a lot in the evening.

Xi Yu was already very sleepy. He estimated that it was already the fourth watch.

But Xi Zhicai still has unfinished ideas.

He said: "Brother, I really hope the sky never breaks."

Xiyu laughed.

"Brother, why is this?"

"Because once it gets light, you might be gone, and I want time to stop."

Xiyu suddenly felt that his brother was like a poet.

"Brother, even if I leave this time, we are not separated by life and death. Why do you have to be like this?"

Xi Yu really found it ridiculous. He and his brother had gotten together and separated more than once or twice. Why was his brother so sensitive this time?

Xi Zhicai yawned.

"Okay, get some rest now, it's all my fault."

Early the next morning, the two of them had breakfast.

Xi Zhicai asked Xi Yu if he wanted to see Cao Pi now.

Xi Yu nodded, and finally the two of them went to find Cao Pi while talking and laughing.

However, Cao Pi was not in the city, but rode his bicycle to the suburbs.

He has also just learned to ride a bicycle, and now he feels very fresh. The two brothers waited for him, and it was not until an hour later that Cao Pi arrived.

Cao Pi was very happy to see Xi Yu here.

"Oh, it turns out that my uncle is here." He bowed slightly to Xi Yu.

Then, he said to these servants: "The actor is already here, why don't you inform me?"

Several servants said that they just wanted to inform him, but they didn't know where he was.

"You are really mad at me. Please step aside."

Cao Pi asked the two brothers to sit down, and finally asked Xi Yu deliberately.

"Master Xiu, did you just come here today? What are you doing for me this time?"

Xi Yu knew that he had probably already heard that he was looking for his brother, and now he asked himself deliberately.

"I arrived yesterday evening. First I went to my brother's house, and then I talked with him about old times. I was supposed to come here early, but the time passed very late without realizing it."

Cao Pi felt happy when he saw that what he said was very sincere.

"It doesn't matter, you brothers reminisce about old times, this is what you should do."

Xi Yu learned that Cao Pi had gone to learn to ride a bicycle, so he asked him how he was riding the bicycle.

"Yes, Mr. Xi, I really want to thank you. This trip is really convenient."

Although it's not as comfortable as riding a horse, at least you can operate it yourself.

You still have to feed the horse, but you don’t need the bicycle at all, and it won’t go against the person’s will.

Cao Pi shared when he was riding a bicycle on the street.

Many people feel very envious.

And Xi Yu also hopes to buy more bicycles.

Xi Yu shook his head.

"We have restrictions on vehicles purchased from other places."

Unless people from other places go to Youzhou to buy in person.

But Cao Pi knew that this was definitely unrealistic. People from out of town would be very tired if they came here by bicycle.

He also told Xi Yu that his next step would be to learn shooting while riding a bicycle.

Hope to be able to shoot more accurately.

Xiyu's eyes lit up.

"Oh, this is a brand new challenge for you."

Xi Zhi glanced at Xi Yu and thought, why don't we get to the point quickly?

Xi Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, I came here today to actually have two things to say. Originally there was only one thing, but after more conversations with my brother, it has become two things."

Xi Zhicai was puzzled, why was there suddenly one more thing?

Cao Pi smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter if you say so."

"In that case, let me tell you the truth. Yesterday at my brother's place, he was extremely drunk."

Xi Zhicai was stunned, how could such a thing happen?

They drank some wine, but neither of them was drunk, but he didn't reveal it. He believed that his brother must have his reasons for saying so.

Xi Yu immediately looked at Xi Zhicai.

"Brother, when you were very drunk, you said some drunk words, and you have probably forgotten them."

Xi Zhicai also immediately cooperated with him.

"Oh, is there really such a thing?"

"Then tell me what's going on." Cao Pi looked at the eyes of the two brothers carefully and felt that they didn't seem to be acting.

"After my brother got drunk, he said that Mr. Cao, you have a lot of suspicions about him, and now you are not willing to reuse him."

After Xi Zhicai heard this, he immediately started to tremble. How could a brother say this?

In Cao Pi's eyes, he thought that Xi Zhicai really said such words, but he didn't remember it at all.

Xi Zhicai immediately knelt down.

"Mr. Cao, this was all due to my drunken gaffe. Please forgive me."

Cao Pi was very angry, but immediately smiled again.

"What are you doing? Get up quickly."

Xi Yu's face was very cold. He said that his brother's words were probably based on evidence. It seemed that Duke Cao really had a lot of suspicions about his brother.

Cao Pi shook his head and touched the beard on his chin.

"There is absolutely no such thing. It's your brother who thinks too much."

He quickly thought of a reason and said that he had been focusing on his bicycle recently and might have neglected Xi Zhicai.

Xiyu also immediately borrowed the donkey to get off the slope.

"Oh, that's what happened, brother. It seems that it was all your misunderstanding. How could Mr. Cao have so many barriers to you?"

Xi Yu knew that after today's beating, Cao Pi should understand what to do next.

Xi Zhicai also knew his brother's good intentions.

But why didn't this younger brother discuss this matter with him?

Is it because you are afraid that you will behave unnaturally if you find out?

"Okay, if that's the case, let's take over this matter." Xi Yu said.

After that, he slowly held the teacup, pretending to be unsteady, and the teacup immediately fell to the ground, making a sound.

At this time, several killers quickly broke in at the door.

Xi Zhicai was shocked.

"Mr. Cao, what does this mean?"

Cao Pi looked at a few people and reprimanded angrily: "Asshole, I and the actor are drinking tea here. What are you doing, get out of here."

Several people walked out.

Cao Pi quickly apologized to Xi Yu.

"During this period, assassins came to murder me, so they have strengthened their defenses now. They heard the tea cup being clattered just now. They thought there was some trouble."

"So that's what happened. I thought Duke Cao wanted to murder me."

Xi Yu said with a smile.

But Cao Pi was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. In fact, starting from last night, a servant came up with an idea for him.

After Xi Yu arrives today, he must take his life.

At that time, he felt that this was the behavior of a despicable villain and hesitated to do so, but his servants said that he was too indecisive.

Now that Xiyu's territory is so large, sooner or later he will annex Cao Wei.

We still don’t know how far the real struggle will go by then. When two tigers fight, there will be damage.

Even if Cao Pi cannot be completely destroyed by Xi Yu, their vitality will definitely be severely damaged.

The top priority is to murder Xi Yu, and then Xi Yu's territory will definitely be in chaos.

Cao Pi thought about it and finally had to make such a decision.

Because he knew that Xi Yu would probably come here again.

Of course, if Xi Yu just looks at Xi Zhicai, he won't be able to come to her, which means that the plan will fail, and there is nothing that can be done about it. However, Xi Yu really came.

But he wasn't completely sure either. But at this moment, he suddenly regretted it.

He could quickly get up after a few people came in and let them assassinate Xi Yu.

But at the critical moment, he still didn't dare to gamble, and he saw that although Xi Yu seemed to have lost his balance and dropped the tea cup, in fact it seemed that he broke it on purpose.

In other words, Xi Yu might have figured out his conspiracy.

He didn't understand how Xi Yu knew about this, but he only knew that it couldn't really be done.

In fact, when Xi Yu first arrived here, he went to a toilet, and a secret guard immediately appeared and told him the plan.

He was very angry, so he decided to beat Cao Pi.

If it had been anyone else, he would have killed him long ago.

However, after the incident just now, Xi Zhicai was shocked. Could it be that Cao Pi really sent someone secretly to murder his brother?

He looked at Cao Pi with doubtful eyes, but saw Cao Pi respectfully apologizing to Xi Yu.

It is said that these servants are now ready to fight whenever there is any disturbance.

"It doesn't matter, they can be loyal to you, which is naturally a good thing."

Cao Pi immediately changed the topic.

He said that he was very envious of the martial arts and the many talented people around Xi Yu.

Just like Jia Xu and Guo Jia, they are some rare talents.

And now even Zhou Yu has come to Xi Yu's camp from Jiangdong, which really makes Xi Yu even more powerful.

"Okay, Mr. Xi, please stop complimenting me. It almost made me forget that there is a second thing."

"Yes, yes, sir, please tell me quickly, what is the second thing?"

"This is also the most important thing about coming here this time. I want to implement the imperial examination system and promote it throughout the Central Plains."

Xi Yu told Cao Pi that in the past, he had always had a view that students from poor families also had the right to study.

"Yes, the actor insisted on this before, and I've heard of it too."

Xi Yu also wants to build a college now to give those poor students a chance.

However, the imperial examination system has not yet been officially implemented.

So he told everyone about the imperial examination system that had been held since the Sui Dynasty in his previous life.

That's why he approached Cao Pi to discuss it and implement it nationwide.

Let’s start with the two of them.

Cao Pi touched the beard on his chin.

"Master Xiu, this is really a good idea. You are so considerate of those from poor families."

"So we need to widely select talents. Those useless people can no longer be elected through the recommendation of others."

Cao Pi did not answer immediately, but was considering the feasibility of this matter.

And Xi Yu was not in a hurry, just drinking tea.

He believed that Cao Pi would make the right choice.

Xi Zhicai was also stunned by the plan listed by Xi Yu.

Although Xi Yu has revealed a similar meaning before, there has never been a truly detailed implementation plan.

He really didn't know where his brother came up with such an idea.

After a while, Cao Pi said: "Very good. In that case, I agree. Starting tomorrow, I will issue an order to start the pilot."

Xi Yu was quite satisfied with his answer.

At the same time, Xi Yu asked him about the documents he released and wondered if Cao Pi had received them.

But Cao Pi felt at a loss.

what document? I have never heard of it!

However, at this moment, a scribe suddenly came over and said that he had now received a document.

Cao Pi immediately took it over, Xi Yu came over and said, this is exactly the document he wrote.

Cao Pi read it carefully, his eyes could not believe it.

The ideas above are really shocking.

Moreover, Xi Yu also specifically said at the end that the various princes should print it widely and strive to let more and more people know about it. He also hoped that someone would do word of mouth propaganda.

Cao Pi's hands were trembling a little. Why did the actor have such thoughts?

These thoughts really overturned his cognition.

As Xi Yu said, Dong Zhongshu began to respect Confucianism exclusively, and Cao Pi also grew up in a Confucian environment since he was a child.

If you want to make such a change rashly now, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.

It will even make Confucian scholars all over the world feel chilled or opposed.

Moreover, what Xi Yu advocates seems to be good for the people and greatly weakens the power of nobles like them. Why does Xi Yu do such a thankless thing?

He then raised his doubts.

Xi Yu said: "At this time, you should understand that I really care about the people."

Cao Pi closed the document and sighed.

"How many people in the world can reach such a state of being an actor? Don't worry, actor. I will definitely print it widely on my territory and let more and more people know about the actor's thoughts."

Xi Yu didn't know whether he was sincere or just perfunctory, but this attitude still made him happy.

"But this matter may not be rushed. After all, changing people's minds cannot be done overnight."

Because similar changes must involve bloodshed and sacrifice.

As Cao Pi said, some pedantic scholars will definitely not be able to accept it for a while.

Even if it is for the benefit of the people, there may be some people who will object because it is too subversive to people's perceptions.

Xi Yu felt that it was getting late, so he said goodbye and would not disturb Cao Pi's rest.

"Hey, Mr. Xi, why don't you stay and have a drink together at noon today?"

"No need, I still have to walk around and come back to accompany Mr. Cao when I have time."

"Since the actor has said so, I won't force myself. I don't know when the actor will return."

"Maybe it will stay for three to five days. It has not been directly confirmed yet."

After the two brothers left and walked on the road, Xi Zhicai still felt cold sweat.

"Brother, before you talk about that matter, why don't you discuss it with me first?"

Xi Yu saw him like this and remembered the fright he felt when he heard these words, and he immediately laughed.

"Oh, brother, why are you still laughing? Isn't this very funny?"

"Yes, brother, I think this matter is very funny."

Xi Zhicai was stunned and speechless.

Xi Yu said, "Okay, if I had told you in advance, you wouldn't have acted like that by then."

Xi Zhicai sighed. Although he gave Cao Pi some reminders, would it make his estrangement against him even deeper?

And now it seems that Cao Pi believes this statement.

But who knows what he is thinking in his heart?

"Okay, brother, don't have too many doubts. Please introduce to me any good places. I want to walk around."

Xi Zhicai nodded.

He added, and about the tea cup...

"Hmph, Cao Pi almost did something wrong today because he really wanted to murder me."

"What? Such a thing actually happens? Brother, if that's the case, then you don't want to go out for fun. You'd better leave quickly."

"Brother, don't worry. He doesn't dare to touch me for the time being. He just got hot-tempered. And he was also bewitched by others. He later considered that he still wanted to keep me after all, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

If he dies, the layout of the entire Central Plains will be reshuffled, and some places may not be occupied by Cao Pi, and new princes may arise and take advantage of the loopholes.

Xi Yu also expressed his analysis.

Xi Zhicai finally understood.

But I'm still a little worried about my brother.

Xi Yu said: "Brother, you are also very smart. You can also understand the world situation I mentioned, but because I am the person involved, you can't see clearly."

Xi Zhicai very much recognized Xi Yu's statement. This is probably what people say, the authorities are obsessed, but the onlookers are clear.

The two brothers walked around.

Several killers arranged by Cao Pi appeared in front of him.

One of the killers asked: "Mr. Cao, that was a good opportunity to take action, but why did you stop us?"

Their faces were filled with resentment and confusion.

"Do you know? The tea cup was not thrown by me, but by Xi Yu himself."

Several killers were stunned. They did not expect that this would be the case.

The killer who asked the question asked again: "If that's the case, does that mean Xi Yu has become suspicious?"

"Of course, this is a bad idea in the first place. Okay, you have nothing to do with me here, so get out of here."

But after they retreated, Cao Pi became more and more angry.

No, the person who came up with the idea must be killed. He almost ruined the big thing. (End of chapter)
