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

Cao Man is like a small stove, his skin is white and tender, his cheeks have a little baby fat, in terms of height, he is not much different from Liu Hong, everyone is a dwarf, half a catty is equal.

Liu Hong was stunned, not knowing how to react for a while. He felt a claw on his back, which was warmly carrying him on his back. Liu Hong, who had no playmates of the same age since he was a child, instantly turned red at the tips of his ears. He couldn't help calling for help. He looked at Cao Jie.

Cao Jie smiled ferociously for a moment, stepped forward to strip Cao off, and said in displeasure, "It's really rude, where have all the etiquette I've learned over the years gone? Is this what your father taught you?"

Cao Jie has always given people the impression of being like a spring breeze, and he seldom speaks harshly. Those who are familiar with him will realize that he is already angry at this time. Seeing him faintly suppressing the anger in his eyes, "Cao Jie's version of ghost animal" echoed in Cao Man's mind. Moving picture", was immediately poked at the point of laughter, grinned and replied: "Oh, etiquette...it has already entered the dog's stomach."

Cao Man let go of Liu Hong, and asked Cao Jie puzzledly: "We are all 11-year-old children of the same age. How can children's friendship be like you adults require etiquette, etiquette, advance and retreat? If this is the case, then we should live How tiring, childhood will not be happy."

To speak the truth, Cao lied one thing to another, but Cao Jie was unwilling to argue with Liu Hong in front of him.

He finally understood that Cao Song's son, with a small belly, just because he was spanked by his own father, instead blamed him and acted willfully. For such a brat who didn't grow up, Cao Jie had plenty of ways to deal with him!

Cao Jie gritted his teeth secretly, and caught a glimpse of Cao Man's smug little eyes, the anger in his heart was immediately pierced, and half of his anger was leaked.

What else can he do?He is a 30-year-old adult, he can't argue with a wayward child who hasn't grown up, and lowered his status for no reason, look at him!

Cao Jie cursed secretly: Childish!

There are not many people in this world who can give the great eunuch Cao Jie Qi and live a carefree life, and Cao Man is one of them.

After meeting Liu Hong for the first time, the two will spend the days of studying in the inner palace together in this courtyard prepared for Liu Hong to live in, until the courtiers pass the examination and support the new emperor on the throne.

On the first day Cao Man arrived in the palace, he searched Liu Hong's courtyard inside and out like a puppy who was about to pee everywhere when he arrived at a new site. It is a eunuch and maid, but it "although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs".The courtiers will never starve the seventeen candidates, so for Liu Hong, the biggest advantage of coming to the palace is that he does not have to starve or suffer from cold, and has everything for food and clothing.

When he was very young, he inherited the title of Marquis of Jieduting from his deceased father. His mother often warned him that he had precious blood and was a descendant of the royal family's most noble blood.My mother asked others to be poor and ambitious, and to study hard so that they could honor their ancestors.

However, the honorable title did not bring him any real benefits. His family was so poor that he had to borrow food to get enough food and clothing. He had suffered from hunger and cold, and he had lived with his mother since he was a child.

What kind of life did the princes and nobles live in?Liu Hong couldn't imagine it, until he came to Luoyang, where there were big families, rich families, and high-ranking officials everywhere, and seeing the grandeur of the palace with his own eyes, living in an environment with people serving him, everything was as beautiful as a dream.But once he thought of his mother who was alone in his hometown, and when he was parting, his mother told him to be cautious in his words and deeds with tears, Liu Hong felt sore as if he was being grabbed.

The poor boy Liu Hong, even though he puts on bright and bright clothes, still can't conceal the poor aura on his body. He is timid and introverted. presence.

He had no father to teach him since he was a child, and his poor family could not afford to hire a teacher, so he could only delve into the collection of books and study by himself.

Liu Hong is afraid of communicating with others, for fear of exposing his poor and humble side in his conversation.Only in front of Cao Jie, a gentle eunuch, would he confide his heart and express his uneasiness.

Cao Jie said that he would ask a companion to read for him, but Liu Hong himself was not willing.For one thing, he didn't think he had the ability to stand out and become emperor.Secondly, the companion was selected from the sons of courtiers and high-ranking officials, who were either rich or noble, and he didn't want to get in touch with the children of aristocratic families who were born too high, which would make him pale in comparison.

The first time he saw Cao Man, Liu Hong quietly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, he is a child as old as me.

Since living in the same courtyard, he would peek at Cao Man from time to time, wanting to see what kind of child was born in a wealthy family, would he be particularly delicate?

The Cao family has a rich family background, and being rich is really rich.And Cao Man is really rough.

He climbed trees, climbed over walls, ran, and had fun. Cao Mo was a rural kid at heart, and he would go crazy wherever he went without his father's restraint. He even took out bird eggs from trees under Liu Hong's dumbfounded eyes.

Cao Jie once again regretted recruiting Cao Man, staring with anger, and because Liu Hong was by his side, he couldn't grab Cao Man and reprimand him.

A child from a wealthy family is completely different from what Liu Hong imagined, and secondly, he has no airs. How does Cao Jili understand so many things played by country people?

Liu Hong asked his own doubts.

Cao Mo secretly told Liu Hong: "When I was young, I lived in the country, and I was free every day. There is no restraint here in Luoyang City. There are large fields there. My father is not at home, and my mother can't control me. I live with my companions every day. They caught crickets, went down to the river to fish, and sometimes there was a wedding in the village. As soon as the friends greeted them, all the children went to the wedding to enjoy the joy. Not only did they eat, but they also got rewards. After arriving in Luoyang, they didn’t have much fun. It's the same."

Hearing that he lived in the country since he was a child, Liu Hong felt very cordial. He changed his taciturn style, and his eyes were melancholy with nostalgia: "When I was young, I wanted to run and play like other children, but my mother told me to remember myself. They come from different backgrounds and are much more noble than them, so I can’t do things that don’t fit my status. I can only watch them play and dare not try it myself.”

Cao Mo slapped his thigh: "Why don't you dare to try this? Who stipulated that princes and nobles can't go up trees to dig out bird eggs, or fish in water? Nobility is self-cultivation from the heart, and it has nothing to do with these!"

Cao Man gave the bird eggs he had found to Liu Hong, and greeted him with great interest: "Don't look at those boring bamboo slips anymore, what are you afraid of, sir, you haven't started class yet, read it later! It's time to play now, Let's bake the eggs!"

Taking advantage of Cao Jie's absence, he lifted his chin to the eunuchs who were left behind by Cao Jie, and commanded: "Help us to collect some dry leaves and branches, and then dig a fire pit in the yard!"

Liu Hong was taken aback, stopped him quickly, and said eagerly: "This is not good! If the examiner finds out, they will deduct virtue points."

Cao Man grinned and said, "You didn't expect yourself to be the emperor anyway, what are you afraid of, we only have half a year here, take advantage of the opportunity, and experience everything we can experience."

Liu Hong was still a little hesitant. He was a cautious character, and he knew rationally that doing so might cause some trouble, but in his heart, he gradually felt a sense of anticipation.

Cao Man's work was in a hurry, so he turned around and greeted the little eunuchs. They were messing around in the yard, and a fire was soon lit up in the backyard, and green smoke rose from the ground. People who stood a little farther away could find this strange smoke .

Cao Man shared the roasted eggs with Liu Hong, and said with a smile: "The eggs are delicious, and the ones baked by yourself will be even more delicious."

He pointed it out to Liu Hong: "Look, dig a hole like this, put dry leaves in it, and then use a stone that can make sparks. After a few more experiments, it can be ignited. Do you want to try it?"

He not only taught Liu Hong how to make a fire, but also took him to play with fire on the spot. Poor Liu Hong was dazed by his foolishness. From then on, the usually melancholy and quiet young man finally showed a light smile.

Not long after, Cao Jie hurried back. When he saw the mess in the courtyard, he was so angry that his nose was crooked. He pointed at Cao Man and scolded: "There must be a limit to being naughty. This is the palace, not your backyard!"

Once Liu Hong smiled, he became worried again, and asked Cao Jie cautiously: "Cao Changshi, did we cause trouble?"

Cao Jie hurriedly shook his head in denial: "Why did the son cause trouble? It was Cao Jili who caused the trouble. This matter was not done by the son. Everything was done by this dude!"

He bowed and confessed to Liu Hong, grabbed Cao Man, and angrily pulled him into the inner room. When the door was closed, Cao Jie's smiling eyes turned cold, and he asked coldly, "What are you trying to do?! Now that I know that he is the person I want to support, how can I act so boldly, if it attracts attention and misses my important business, even if I kill your whole family, I will not be able to vent my anger!"

Cao Man picked his ears, and lazily raised his eyelids: "Uncle, you are also part of my 'family', didn't you say that we belong to our own family?"

Cao Jie sneered, and thought to himself: My family?My own family will also turn against each other because of interests.

"It's really ruthless," Cao Man knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, and he asked with a smile: "Dangtang's regular servant, can't even handle such a trivial matter as lighting a fire in the backyard?"

Cao Jie scolded angrily: "Even if it can be settled, you can't bring Hong Shizi down."

"Since you want to hide your clumsiness and avoid the storm of competition at the beginning, why should you care about a little bit of virtue?" Cao Mo asked, and he said angrily: "Since you want me to untie Hong Shizi's heart knot, you shouldn't point fingers, a child Only us children know the mood, otherwise why don't you ask me to come over, why don't you go into battle yourself?"

Cao Man was not afraid of Cao Jie's cold face. He emphasized again: "Cooperation is based on mutual trust. What you should do now is to clean up the mess for us, instead of embarrassing me here and making Hong Shizi worry outside. Waiting and wandering."

When Cao Mo mentioned Liu Hong, Cao Jie really hesitated. He lowered his voice and confirmed again: "Good nephew, do you really have a way to make him open his heart?"

Cao Man frowned displeased, pointed at Cao Jie "wronged" and shouted: "What about the promise of trust? You don't believe me?"

Cao Jie was silent for a moment, then compromised: "Okay, I will trust you just once, don't let me down."

Cao Man showed a satisfied smile, and solved Cao Jie, just like winning a victorious battle!

He jumped to open the door and dragged Liu Hong to play other things. From a distance, Cao Jie could still hear Cao Man reassuring Liu Hong: "Don't worry, it's just a fire, it's not a big deal."

Then, Cao concealed the old trick again.

"It's just teasing the cat. It's nothing serious. Cao Jie can settle it."

"It's not just playing mahjong, it's nothing, Cao Jie can settle it."

"is not it……"

Cao Jie: I really fell for his tricks!

Cao Man is a wild child, his wildness and boldness left a deep impression on Liu Hong, he has never seen anyone who can live a happy and comfortable life like Cao Man.

Even in a court with many rules, he can live a feeling of freedom in a small world. Liu Hong is envious, yearning, and even thinking: When I grow up, I will live so happily and freely.

A country cannot be without a king for a day. Dou Wu led a group of relatives to deal with the government and took the opportunity to suppress political enemies and enemies. He divided the selection of the new emperor into two parts: "teaching" and "testing". And it was extended for half a year, giving him more time to arrange the court after the new emperor ascended the throne.

Dou Wu is in this position, and his ambitions are also inflated. He wants the court to become the hall of fame for his power, and he wants to support the family's children to obtain high-ranking officials and generous salaries, so that the Dou family can become the most well-established royal family.

His reasons are also very good. During the reign of the first emperor, he was tired of government affairs and entrusted the hands of eunuchs, which led to the fall of power and the "disaster of the party".

So Dou Wu said to mobilize all officials: we must choose an emperor who is willing to listen to and govern, why not teach from the foundation of governing the country first.

As for the so-called "emperor's ruling", only Dou Wu, who has made up his mind, knows how much water there will be.

There are seventeen candidates, but there is only one emperor. An undercurrent is surging among the seventeen princes. Everyone knows that if one wants to be emperor, one must be virtuous!

For the sake of Toku's reputation, although they have regarded other people as competitors in their hearts, everyone still maintains a harmonious relationship on the surface.

When all the seventeen princes from far and near fiefs arrived, the first teacher who taught them also arrived, and the place in the palace that was originally used to teach the princes was cleaned up to teach the seventeen princes and their companions.

Tai Fu Xun Yu, who is also the head of the Taixue University Department, had a relationship with Cao Mo before He Yong was arrested. This gentleman with a refined temperament and extraordinary speech will be the first hurdle that the princes will face——Professors governing the country road.

The way to govern the country can be big or small. Among the seventeen, only one is the future emperor, and the other sixteen will become high-ranking officials and princes in the future.

Among them, the depth of teaching is insurmountable, not superficial, and difficult to grasp. Even Xun Wei, who is full of knowledge, has been embarrassed for a long time.

In the end, he decided to teach and examine the way of "governing the world" for everyone.

All the monarchs and ministers in the country, from the emperor to the local officials, all need to "govern the world".

What's interesting is that the king needs to learn the way of governing the world, while the officials need to transform the "theory" into practice. The beauty of it is only to listen to Xun Yu's slow talk.

Xun Tiao said: "People in high positions need to know how to govern the world. You are all heirs of the vassal states. Even if you return to the fief in the future, the knowledge of governing the world will still benefit you all your life."

"What is the knowledge of governing the world? If you want to dig a river, how many workers, how much money, and how much time do you need? If you want to build a palace, what do you need to prepare? If there is a drought in some place, how many people will suffer and suffer? How much subsidy can cross the ditch? If you want to calculate the household registration, how to make statistics?"

The lectures taught by Xun Yu made Cao Meng fascinated by listening to it. This was the first time he saw ink in the belly of an important official in the court. After the whole class, only from the information revealed between his words, You can guess how much he knows.

Building walls, digging canals, farming mulberry, ceremonies, dealing with natural disasters, and even soldiers and horses in the army, all of which Xun Mi talked about were practical and exquisite, which made people overwhelmed.

Liu Hong could understand at the beginning, but after hearing it, he seemed to be listening to a book from heaven, his eyes were dazed, his eyes were dull, and he was good at composing Fu, and he rarely came into contact with this "real" knowledge. People rule the world, and Liu Hong, who is serious about science, only feels that the future is dark.

I couldn't understand the first class, and after half a year when the other sons were promoted to rank, he couldn't learn anything. How embarrassing it would be, and how disappointed his mother would be in his hometown waiting for him to return home!

After class, Xun Yu also assigned homework for the seventeen princes, and Liu Hong's cold sweat flooded his back in an instant.

At night, Cao Meng fell asleep, and the oil lamp next door burned until midnight.When he woke up at night, he saw the shadow of Liu Hong reading and writing at night under the window, and went to knock on the window suspiciously.

Liu Honghong opened the window with eyes, saw that it was Cao Man, and asked in surprise, "Are you still asleep?"

"I woke up from sleep!" Cao Man laughed, made a shush gesture to him, and pointed to the little eunuch who was watching the night outside the main gate.

Liu Hong looked over and found that the little eunuch was dozing off with his eyes closed, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Cao hid his hands and feet and climbed in through the window, and asked him in a low voice, "Still studying hard at such a late hour? You are working too hard, take care of your eyes."

The warm light of lamp oil was imprinted on Cao Man's side face. Faced with his sincere concern, Liu Hong relaxed a little, and said while putting down the window: "The homework assigned by Mr. is difficult. I don't understand many parts of today's lecture. Check out the bamboo slips."

"There are so many piles, when are you going to find out?" Cao Man pointed to the pile of bamboo slips on the side, and said with a smile: "If you don't understand, you can ask me!"

Liu Hong was surprised and said, "Do you know how to govern the world?"

"I don't understand so much, but I understand everything that Mr. said in class." Cao Man said helplessly: "I am your companion, if you don't understand the content of the class, you can discuss it with me. Discussion between two people is effective, isn't it? Don't hold back, I can help you."

A ripple passed through Liu Hong's heart. He was used to walking alone, and suddenly there was another person who could share the pressure. The feeling of relying on his heart was too warm, and Liu Hong gradually opened his heart to be vigilant and afraid of the outside world.

Cao Man patted his chest and assured him: "There is no problem that can stump me. I have learned knowledge from many gentlemen, and it is amazing. What kind of homework is assigned today? I finally lost my mind and just looked at Taifu Xun's fluttering beard. Didn't notice what he said."

Xun Li is obviously in his 30s, but he has a beautiful beard, and he has a bit of fairy style, but it also gives him the appearance of many years old.

Liu Hong apparently also recalled Xun Yu's beautiful beard, and then laughed, and told Cao Man: "The homework assigned by Mr. is to ask us to imagine how to build a city."

"Building a city?" Cao Man was dumbfounded.

The system never taught him how to build a city!

Cao Man, who was boastful just now, didn't expect his mind to be empty. He was afraid of losing face in front of children of the same age, and Cao Man called out to the system in his heart.

The system will reply quickly.

[The player is underage, this question is beyond the outline]

So, Cao Man could only admit it with his nose pinched, and brushed the bamboo slips with Liu Hong.

The moonlight is hazy, the windows and lights in the courtyard are double-shadowed, the young man who is studying whispers to each other, flips over the bamboo slips, and the two sad faces face each other, and the true love of "sharing weal and woe" arises.

The author has something to say: that is the love of doing homework together!

PS: It's the end of the month, and the addition will start from next month
