If you don't wear women's clothes, the big man will die!

Sima Lang was exuding a sense of grievance. Cao Cao coughed lightly to cover up his discomfort. He felt that the subordinates in front of him were about to lower their heads to the ground, and quickly comforted him: "I remember you, You were very dedicated when you were my official."

Now that he knew that the person in front of him was Sima Lang, Cao Cao called him to the study room, first asked about the situation in Hanoi, and then asked about the situation of Sima's clan. It's been more than two years in the Sikong Mansion, and you've been a vassal for so long, why don't you go one step further and become my master?"

The surprise came so suddenly that Sima Lang had no time to be happy, but he heard Cao Cao emphasize "be my prime minister and master Bo".

The prime minister is responsible for drafting documents, in charge of archives, Cao Cao's seal, etc. He is a must-have assistant for the prime minister, which is equivalent to being a secretary for Cao Cao.

Sima Lang was stunned, an unexpected but reasonable sense of fate welled up in his heart.

He has known for a long time that Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, and he has long had a premonition that Cao Cao will go higher one day, but he does not think that in just two years, Cao Cao is no longer willing to be one of the three men, and he can't even bear it until he unifies the north. .

Sima Lang came back to his senses, and what filled his heart was the excitement of being reused. His fingers trembled with excitement, and they quietly clenched into fists at his side.

Cao Cao never easily exposed his ambitions in front of others, and now he is directly invited to be "Prime Minister Boss", what does this mean?It means that he is willing to accept himself as one of the core counselors and one of his most trusted close ministers. From then on, Sima Lang's status is completely different from that of other literary officials and Sikong officials. A person who was promoted by Cao Cao to the position of a close minister!

But all the subordinate officials who joined Cao Ying and served in Sikong are all fanatical pursuers of Cao Cao. Their admiration, admiration and pursuit of Cao Cao have reached a certain level. As soon as he is not infected by the environment, he wants to go to Cao Cao's side when he is overcrowded. He looks at each other eagerly, waiting for the attention of the lord. Most of the time, whenever Cao Cao has any requests, the Sikong officials will take the lead in sharing his worries. .

And the important government orders that really need to be decided are often only accessible to a small number of core advisers.

Cao Cao has no doubts about employing people, but he can also choose the right ones. It is difficult for ordinary people to squeeze into his side. The position of the close ministers around him has always been in the midst of no gunpowder competition.In order to attract the attention of the lord, the subordinate officials can be said to be the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers.Xun Yu, Guo Jia, etc. have already become the existence of gods among the counselors, and they are difficult to shake easily, so the remaining positions have become the existences that people crave.

Cao Cao felt a little sorry for Sima Lang. In fact, this subordinate officer had been under his nose for two years. Every time he was given a task, he was able to complete it perfectly. It was very easy to use. What about being promoted?

Cao Cao thought deeply, and finally attributed it to Sima Lang's gentle and introverted personality, who behaved in the world without fighting or grabbing.

It's definitely not because his appearance is out of everyone's eyes, he is not the kind of person who is easily bewitched by the influence of his appearance!

After Cao Cao promoted Sima Lang to his close ministers, the status of the Sima clan in Hanoi rose. Sima Lang even wrote home to tell his old father Sima Fang, who was living at home, asking if the brothers had any plans to come to Xuchang for development.

Judging from Sima Lang's words, this Sima Fang is amazing, although he is serious, unsmiling, and pays special attention to rules, I didn't expect him to be so capable of giving birth to eight sons!

The Xun family gave birth to the famous Eight Dragons of the Xun family in the generation of Xunli, which made the Xun family in Yingchuan reach its peak. The Sima family obviously wanted to follow the old path of the Xun family, relying on the flourishing and graceful children of the Xun family to make their way out. A new family business.

The eight dragons of the Xun family were so outstanding back then, everyone was outstanding. Xun Yu's father was known as the second dragon of the Xun family, and he was not the most famous among the eight dragons!

Hearing what Sima Lang said, Cao Cao seemed to be able to meet a group of juicy cabbage that would roll into his vegetable basket in the future. Even though the cabbage is still immature and small, it still does not affect his imagination of a future where there will be a lot of talents under his command.

Cao Cao told Sima Lang: "With your current official position, you can bring your children to Xuchang Taixue to enroll. The learning resources here are much more than those in your family, and there are many people of the same age. good chance."

Taixue’s preschools accept children aged five to ten, primary schools accept children aged ten to 15, and those over 16 years old go to universities for in-depth education until they graduate at the age of 20. It took 15 years to train a group of children. A group of outstanding talents, Cao Cao can foresee that Taixue will become the grand scene of the cradle of talents in the imperial court in the future, and it is also foreseeable that if no restrictions are imposed, it is very likely to form another Luoyang Taixue with a clear hierarchy and high-ranking officials. A system that serves the interests of future generations of meritorious service.

This is something he doesn't want to see, and now he has a solution.

It is imperative to implement the imperial examination system. Before the first batch of Taixue students graduate, this important system of assessing and selecting talents must be implemented. In this way, people from all over the world can be recruited for his use. Instead of being a gilded ground and a springboard for officials, it has truly become an excellent university.

Cao Cao also made a tragic decision, but this decision was not told by Meiniang, but by his own flash of inspiration.

Cao Cao set up the recruitment of students between primary schools, primary schools, and universities to assess and recruit students. Only the best No. 1 in primary schools can go directly to primary schools, and the same is true for primary schools to universities.In this way, students must participate in the assessment and stand out through the ranking of their grades. Those who are truly outstanding will go on to further education, while those with poor grades will be eliminated layer by layer and can enter various states, counties, counties, and townships for further education.

The basis for implementing these is the prosperity of schools everywhere, not only the prosperity of primary schools, but also the rise of primary schools and universities.

The quality of the students required by the university is the highest, and it is also the most strictly controlled by the government. In order to promote the construction of local universities, Cao Cao, who holds a lot of money, has started to throw money again. This spring, he will throw money to invest in cultivating young seedlings. Will he be able to harvest in the coming year? A bountiful vegetable garden?

While gradually gathering the forces of foreign enemies, firmly grasp the infrastructure under its own rule. Before the development of agriculture and education, the two more important fields are politics and economy.

For this reason, Cao Cao ordered Mi Zhu to take the lead to gather merchants in the four prefectures, register them in the register, manage them uniformly by the government, collect business taxes, and encourage trade. manage.

In politics, Cao Cao held back until the end of the year. In order to make himself the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao made a miracle, and issued an imperial decree to confer himself as the prime minister on the grounds that the fate of the man would protect the Han.

This year is destined to be an uneasy year. The Sangong Jiuqing system failed to survive the first month, and lingered until the end of the fifth year of Jian'an, and was completely ruined in the hands of the ruthless Cao Cao. Since then, the system of three provinces and six ministries that has lasted for more than 1000 years has appeared in history. on the stage.

The official positions of court officials are planned to be reorganized. Generally speaking, they all perform their duties. Everyone is still doing the government affairs they are familiar with. Those who should be in charge of taxation should be in charge of taxation, those who should be in charge of household registration, and those who should be in charge of public security. It seems that everyone is still doing the same things as before, but the scope of their duties is different in essence.

The so-called three provinces are divided into Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu provinces, and they all accept the orders of the prime minister.The six departments are officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers. There are 24 divisions in total. The definition of official positions is more clear. It can be seen that many places inherit the shadow of the Sangong and Jiuqing system, but they are completely different.

Everyone might not be used to it at first, and some even looked at the former Shang Shu Ling, and now the Shang Shu Sheng Shang Shu Xun Yu.The birth of the three-province system divided the powers of the Shangshuling into several parts, obviously decentralizing the power of the Shangshuling, and restraining each other in terms of power with several other "new Shangshus" whose status was rising.

Xun Yu, who was placed high hopes on him and hoped that he could persuade Cao Cao to restrain himself, obediently accepted the separation of powers and helped Cao Cao implement the new decree.

There was an uproar in the court, and those who were dissatisfied with Cao Cao scolded them very harshly, especially Kong Rong, who claimed to be a scholar-bureaucrat and the leader of the Qingliu group. , rebuking Cao Cao's wolf ambition.

Kong Rong was so angry that his eyes were red, and he shouted loudly: "Since the establishment of my dynasty, the position of the prime minister has been abolished. Because Gaozu believed that the prime minister had too much power and had the power to surpass the emperor and call himself a king, Cao Sikong proclaimed himself a prime minister." , You really don’t even want the last bit of face, completely expose your ferocious ambitions, and you are not afraid that everyone in the world will drown you in one gulp?! You disregarded your majesty, trying to monopolize power, replace the foundation of the court, and do everything you can I don’t think you are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, you are no different from Dong Zhuo who caused the world to rise up and attack you, in essence, you are planning to conspire to become king!”

Cao Cao has long been scolded shamelessly, and only his group of subordinates are still complaining about it. Among them, Xun Yu, who knows the "truth", is especially upset.

At that time, he took out the canonized imperial decree written by Emperor Liu Hong of the late Lingling, which also printed the jade seal of the country, and declared to everyone: "My lord is the official of the Han family Tuogu who was selected by the first emperor himself to support the Han family. The first emperor bestowed on the lord the power of regent. , to make the lord the regent, title——Wei! This imperial decree is true or false, please also verify it with Your Majesty, Uncle Fu, and Tai Tuo!"

Xun Yu cast a shocking thunder, not to mention Kong Rong was dumbfounded, even Liu Xie, who was a mascot above and didn't say a word, was dumbfounded.

He presented the imperial decree written by Liu Hong to the emperor, and the emperor saw the flamboyant cursive script, which seemed to be the handwriting of his father, Emperor Xianling!

Liu Xie's face was complicated, and he finally said: "It's the handwriting of the father, please also ask Uncle Fu Guo and Tai Tuo to verify it."

Fu Wan took over the imperial edict respectfully, if the handwriting of Emperor Xianling could be imitated, but the seal of Yuxi is infallible!

He took a deep breath and exclaimed: "It really is the imperial decree issued by Emperor Xianling, and there is a jade seal on it!"

But all the old ministers of the Han Dynasty know in their hearts that the jade seal, which represents the power of the emperor and the status of the Han Dynasty, was lost in the Luoyang fire that year, and only the veterans who have really experienced the three dynasties of the Xianling Emperor have truly seen the jade seal. What, that seal is genuine.

Someone raised a question: "Cao Gong used to be the companion of Emperor Xianling, and he knows the handwriting of Emperor Xianling best. He is also familiar with the lines of jade seals. It is not impossible to forge such an imperial decree."

Cao Cao and his subordinates sang together and explained this: "The fabric of this imperial decree was only available in the Luoyang Palace at that time. Such fabric could not be made in Xuchang. This was the royal tribute at the beginning. After the death of Emperor Xianling, the eunuchs and He Jin, Dong Zhuo, and others fought together, and the fabric of the royal tribute was cut off at that time. What does Uncle Fu think?"

Uncle Guo Fuwan nodded his head, and he recognized it: "This fabric is indeed from the time of Emperor Xianling."

But this does not mean that Cao Cao will not forge, and those who do not want to believe can find reasons to refute.

Cao Cao was dressed in a black official robe, with an overbearing air, and an official hat representing his status, standing under the emperor's dragon chair, only three steps away from Liu Xie.

He stretched out his hand and took out a cloth bag from his wide sleeve, and everyone in the court followed his movements and focused their eyes on him.

I saw that Cao Cao opened the cloth bag, revealing the emerald green radiant streamer. The object was square and square, and there seemed to be brilliance shining in it. The moment the true face was revealed, the entire court was silent.

The sound of gasping for breath came and went, and Fu Wan's eyes were red with excitement, and he shouted tremblingly: "Yuxi?!"

Following this sound, Cao Ying officials knelt on the ground in unison, shouted Cao Cao, welcomed the prime minister as the regent, and implored the king of Wei to take charge of the overall situation!

Two of the three officials in the DPRK and China had already knelt down, and the rest were kneeling on their behalf. The officials gritted their teeth and wanted to resist, but had to compromise because of the situation.

Liu Xie stood up in shock, walked down the steps himself, took the jade seal from Fu Wan's hand, and repeatedly confirmed that it was genuine, but was speechless for a while.

At the end, he took a deep look at Cao Cao and said: "It turns out that the father and emperor have already arranged everything. Before the mother died, I came to find Cao Cao, saying that no one who can get rid of Cao Cao tomorrow will save me. It is because of this!"

The hall was so silent that it was almost audible. Cao Cao, who was standing nearest to him, had keen ears and could clearly hear Liu Xie's heavy breathing.

Behind him is the scene of the courtiers kneeling down to worship Cao Cao. The civil and military officials of Cao Ying stood firmly behind Cao Cao and became his thrust, pushing him to the opposite of Liu Xie step by step.

Cao Cao observed Liu Xie and had to admit that this young man was not at all like Liu Hong, but more like Wang Meiren.If Liu Xie can be taught well, if he was born in a peaceful and prosperous age, he might be a good successor. Now he has come to this point because of the situation, and it is also fueled by his own father.

After all, he is Liu Hong's son, and Cao Cao somewhat treats and educates him as a younger generation.Liu Xie is not the king in his heart, the only king in his heart is Liu Hong, although he is now his son...

Cao Cao felt short of breath when he thought of the current messy relationship.

Having reached this point, it is impossible for him to return power to Liu Xie.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie with firm and sharp eyes as always. He said in a deep voice, "Whether the imperial decree of the Xianling Emperor is true or not, I believe His Majesty has already seen it. I will be the only and last prime minister. After my death, I will Abolish the post of prime minister."

Liu Xie: "..."

The young emperor's eyes were calm, but the fists clenched by his side became tighter and tighter. Finally, in the frozen silence, Liu Xie's cold voice sounded: "Father, you are the king of Wei, and you are the regent." , the imperial decree is true, and the decree is effective.”

"I will obey my father's will and honor you as my uncle."

Since then, the era of power belonging to Cao Cao has officially come!

According to historical records: At the beginning of the sixth year of Jian'an, he was appointed as the prime minister by the imperial decree of Lingdi, and he was named the regent, and he was named Wei.

The mansion where Cao Cao worked was changed from the original Sikong Mansion to the Wei Wang Mansion, and the official robes were changed to the exclusive black that belonged to the Wei King.

Clothes ranging from dragons embroidered in gold to pythons embroidered in gold silk all show status, crowned with nine beads, and the carriages entering and leaving the court also respect the prince's specifications.

Even the emperor personally called Cao Cao the emperor's uncle, acknowledged the relationship between Cao Cao and Emperor Xianling, and affirmed the authenticity of Emperor Xianling's imperial decree. Who else would dare to stand up against it?If you want to scold Cao Cao, you must first have a reason to stand on your feet. The group of people who regard themselves as loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty and the emperor Liu Xie as an excuse are now all dumb.

The old line of the Han Dynasty was suppressed to the point where there was nothing left, and the people of Cao Ying gradually eroded the new court. All the clans restrained themselves, avoided Cao Cao's edge, and waited for the next grouping to shake this seemingly invincible statue. Fallen mountains.

They believe that day will not be far away, no one's power is always at its peak, and the reason that prosperity must decline also exists in Cao Ying. They can only wait for this opportunity, waiting for Cao Cao to bloom like his ancestors, and drown In the long river of history, waiting for a good time to kill with one blow, they gathered around the emperor again and pulled Cao Cao off his horse.As long as the family and interests are still there, they will not lose to the powerful, and as long as those in power still rely on their family children, they will have to compromise with their family.

These people are bound to be disappointed.

In February of the sixth year of Jian'an, a new system of selecting scholars was born. The King of Wei issued the "Order of Seeking Talents", calling on people from all over the world to become officials. The way to become an official is no longer through examination and recommendation, but through imperial examinations. Authentic materials stand out in all states and counties, without having to manage your own reputation, make friends with people everywhere, compare family backgrounds, and ask for help everywhere.

Anyone who is a good citizen can apply for the exam. The subjects are finely divided, the assessment regulations are mature, and even the management order and those who catch fraud are prepared. It is afraid that no one will believe that Cao Cao was not prepared before.

Even the structure of the court has been changed, the Sangong and Jiuqing have been abolished, and it seems that it is nothing to have an imperial examination.

Cao Cao made too many moves, and the violent operations made people overwhelmed. From the fifth year of Jian'an to the sixth year of Jian'an, it was an eventful period. No one thought that the system of three provinces and six ministries, which everyone was not optimistic about, was difficult for most people to understand. Once it is practiced, it will take root and sprout, grow vigorously, and continue to improve in suitable soil for a full thousand years!

On the other hand, Sima Lang moved the Sima family to Xuchang with the power of the patriarch, and most of the children in the family would come and resettle there. The younger brothers arranged to enter kindergarten one by one.

If you can't get in, then you have to go to the best nearby state school, waiting for the arrival of the elementary school and university exams.

Sima Lang also sent a letter to his second brother Sima Yi. For the sake of this second brother who has been smart since childhood, Sima Lang, who is the eldest brother, can be said to have broken his heart.

He specifically mentioned to Cao Cao that his second younger brother helped him to keep things in the clan in order, and helped him arrange his clan to be leak-free. Sima Yi was only eight years old when he helped him!

After Cao Cao listened, he was silent for a moment, and said to Sima Lang: "Up to now, you are the last person who came to 'requisition' alone. If you want to become an official, you can't pass your recommendation, and you can only have the opportunity to enter the court if you pass the assessment with real materials."

Sima Lang hurriedly said: "I also think so, I just want to ask the lord to give me some kindness, so that my second brother can have the opportunity to study in Xuchang Taixue."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then asked Sima Lang, "How old is he?"

"After the new year is exactly sixteen."

"Sixteen, it's time to go to university," Cao Cao said with a frown, "No, university admission is supposed to be the strictest among all schools, how can you send people in at will."

Sima Lang said sincerely: "Going to elementary school is fine, I want my second brother to take the big exam."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded: "In that case, let him go to elementary school for five years, and he will be in the graduating class, so he can take the university exam at the end of the year."

Sima Lang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "On behalf of my second brother, thank you, Lord, for your kindness!"

As soon as February passed, it was the day when Xuchang Taixue started school again. The weather turned from warm to cold. Students dressed in thick cotton-padded clothes wrapped themselves into small balls and walked into the brand-new Xuchang Academy one after another.

Zhuge Liang is 14 years old, and he is about to enter the last year of primary school. This year's students are also unlucky. Due to the influence of the government order, if they want to continue their studies and go to Taixue, where there are many talented people, they must pass strict assessments. Get a high score and reach the score line.

Those who did not score less then left Xuchang Taixue with hatred, and entered other prefectures and counties to study.

Xuchang Taixue has gathered the most abundant teaching resources in the four prefectures. The teachers who teach them are from the imperial court. Some of the gentlemen are even high-ranking officials and generals. The students are also the most outstanding group in all schools.

Facing the entrance examination this year was not peaceful, Zhuge Liang thought that he was already excellent in his studies, but when placed in the Xuchang Taixue where elites are everywhere, his previous talent was not the most outstanding among his peers!

Among their students in this year, a child who was three years younger than them was mixed in. He was supposed to be a year old, but he was at the top of the graduating class. How could it not be fearful?

He went for No.1, the purpose was to get No.1 recommended to the university, and now he was fine, Cao Pi was killed halfway, and he suppressed the limelight of all the students in the class.

In addition, there are countless outstanding students in the class, which makes Zhuge Liang, who has been somewhat proud of his clever mind since childhood, tense his nerves, and works harder to read at night under the pressure of the environment.

On this day, Zhuge Liang heard that another student had suddenly joined the class, and the students whispered: "He is already over the age, and he came here to take the college entrance examination at the end of the year. Here it is."

Everyone is 14 years old, but this person is 16 years old, two years older than them!In their magical class, there are not only young skippers, but also older repeaters!

The 16-year-old student was taller than everyone else, standing in front of a circle of 14-year-old boys, he looked like an adult.Such a person is arranged to come here, is it for the No. 1 recommendation?This is too unfair!

Zhuge Liang heard the whispers of the students, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the new student introducing himself: from Hanoi, Sima Yi.

No matter who it is, nothing can stop him from getting No.1!

In the first month after school starts, there is an assessment for the whole grade. The test is all the knowledge of the first four years of elementary school. The breadth of knowledge and the difficulty of the papers, even if you take them back to the elders at home, you may not be able to answer them all. .Zhuge Liang asked his uncle Zhuge Xuan, who was a high-ranking official in the court, about several of these questions. Not only did he fail to ask the questions, but he beat Zhuge Xuan's adult self-confidence to pieces.

After seven days of tormented waiting, the result finally came out.

Zhuge Liang, who was not sure about his answer, had been waiting at the ranking place for a long time. When his husband posted the ranking, Zhuge Liang was stunned.

No.4.

He stared at the name of No.1 for a long time, and asked in doubt: "Cao Hong?" Is there such a person in their class?
