"Oh, Renyi? Hahaha..."

When Cao Cao talked to Guo Jia about tonight's events in the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I, Cao Cao, have been dedicated to benevolence and righteousness throughout my life, and I have really worked hard."

"That's that."

Guo Jia smiled and held his hand.

So boastful!

"The true nature of a hero is to show kindness and power at the same time. My lord is truly admirable."

"Hmph," Cao Cao raised his chin slightly, "Fengxiao, you know me. If Bowen didn't tell me, I actually planned to burn it and not look at it."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Guo Jia nodded quickly.

You are happy today, and the civil and military officials of the court have praised you. I am afraid that in the future you will have peace of mind and fulfill your duties faithfully. Whatever you say when you are happy is right.

"This time, it is much better to really make the Han officials in Xudu not dare to rebel again than to kill them all."

Cao Cao was filled with emotion and shook his head in relief. He felt so happy that he had never felt so happy in so many years.

These ministers who were scolded at the beginning shouted benevolence and righteousness, which was simply a kind of enjoyment, "In this way, no matter what they do, they will no longer have any objections, and they will surrender to the Prime Minister's Mansion for at least a few years, and they can recruit more

Talented people and elegant scholars are everywhere recommending talented people."

"Not bad!" Guo Jia was convinced when he heard this. The current situation is really excellent. It is rare that there is no second voice in Xudu. The officials have just been changed, so that poor people from all over the country can afford it. As for who will recommend it?

If there is an explanation, it seems that reopening the monthly review is the best way now.

After all, the Xu brothers' Yuedan Commentary was widely circulated and gained a lot of fame. Once it is reopened, scholars will be very interested in it, and they will naturally rush to join it.

"Bo Wen can preside over the reopening of the Lunar New Year Review and comment on the world's celebrities. If it's not him, it should be Wen Ruo."

Guo Jia raised his hand and recommended: "My lord, you should go talk to him again and do your part."

"Haha," Cao Cao laughed twice and waved his hands gently, "He is a noble prince and a person who has reached the rank of Jiuqing. How can he do such a thing because of his high position and power? I don't like recommending him to Bo Wen. I

I have told him before, but Bowen did not agree. He only said that he could find a suitable candidate and I am still waiting for him."

Guo Jia nodded calmly and said nothing more. Since Xu Zhen already had a candidate, there was no need to worry.

He always does things with foresight and is not as reckless as young people, but he is trustworthy.

…

Cao Cao's prime minister's residence was very happy and joyful, but tonight the residences of the Han Dynasty ministers were definitely not peaceful.

Those who wrote letters were naturally as happy as after a disaster. Some of them immediately asked for several jars of wine to be delivered to their homes, and first made themselves drunk until they forgot what happened today.

Some people hugged their families and cried, saying that the Prime Minister was magnanimous and noble.

Some people even blamed themselves and felt guilty, preparing to read Cao's internal commandments and Xu Zhen's self-discipline again, and almost burst into tears after reading them.

And inside the residence of Taiwei Yang.

In the backyard, Yang Xiu and Yang Biao were greatly shocked. They talked deeply for a long time. They just regarded what happened today as a blessing from God, which allowed their family to survive.

"Thanks to God's blessing."

"You don't understand," Yang Xiu held the back of his father's hand and patted it a few times with sincerity. "Father only knows God's help, but he doesn't know that there are really people who are advising us in exchange for this amnesty. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be another night of bloodshed."

.”

"Is there someone? Who?!"

Yang Biao blinked. Of course he didn't understand what Yang Xiu was talking about. Naturally, he would never make any guesses about Xu Zhen. In fact, Yang Biao never dreamed that Xu Zhen would speak.

However, after Yang Xiu said this, he didn't know how to continue talking for a while. He also promised Xu Zhen that he would never tell anyone about the incident of meeting him, but if he didn't tell him now, his father would think it was God's help, and then

Or the Prime Minister showed mercy.

The real benefactor of the Yang family is probably Xu Zhen.

But Yang Xiu also understood that he still had to think twice before mentioning Xu Zhen in front of his father.

Yang Biao was afraid of Cao Cao, but not of Xu Zhen. Instead, he was a little bored. It is not clear where this boredom originated, but Yang Xiu had a faint feeling recently that might be sour.

Bai Ding started from a humble background, but in the end his status was so high! Moreover, he has never been attacked or suspected, and his status in the Cao family is extremely high.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiu sighed and decided not to say anything.

"Well, pretend I didn't say it. In short, it was someone who persuaded the Prime Minister to pardon all officials. In fact, it is a kindness to the world. We must not continue to work against each other secretly!"

Yang Xiu held Yang Biao's hand tightly, with a solemn expression on his face, and said word for word: "I will preside over the reopening of the Lunar New Year Review and lift up the world's scholars."

"In this way, I show my loyalty to the Cao family and use the reputation of the Yang family to recommend talented people. In the future, my disciples and former officials will be able to spread all over the world."

"What?!"

Yang Biao stood up suddenly and stared at Yang Xiu with a look of disbelief on his face. I just told people some time ago that this was a huge trap!!

Now my son has to be the host of the Lunar New Year Review and make wedding clothes for Cao Cao.

"You are presumptuous!"

Yang Biao scolded him sternly and stood up immediately, "How can I, the Yang family, do such a thing! Recommend talented people to serve as officials in various places. If you recommend talented people from poor families, we, as the top noble clan, will be sinners!"

"The sinners of the gentry have almost betrayed the entire gentry. If the people you recommend are all gentry, their intentions will be even more deplorable! In the future, not to mention the court, many families who are not ashamed of Cao Cao will be forced to share seven

It’s all in pieces.”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Xiu's face suddenly became gloomy, as if he was deep in thought, but after a while, he immediately stood up and clapped his legs, "This must be done!"

"Being willing to be a pawn of the Cao family can keep your glory. My father can't be involved in this matter. I, Yang Xiu, will bear all the infamy! As for today, since my father was lucky enough to escape from the butcher's knife, it's best to unload the burden.

Come on, don’t talk about being crowned a nobleman! Saving one’s life depends on one’s face. Life or death is a matter of great joy, so why talk about being crowned?”

Yang Biao was speechless.

But looking at my son blankly, I felt like I had aged several years.

Yang Xiu was silent on the spot, as if he was unconvinced, and snorted unwillingly: "Only do it with integrity and not fall into the worldly mold. No matter whether you are a nobleman or a white man, what you want is to do it on the basis of merit."

"you!"

Yang Biao's face turned pale, and the hand he pointed at Yang Xiu was trembling. How could there be an unfilial son like you, Yang Dezu, in our family?

Now even the ideas in my heart are completely in the shape of Cao Cao! How unfilial!

If you advocate meritocracy, you are suppressing the gentry!

…

Three days later, the news spread like wildfire.

Xu Zhen wrote a letter of recommendation to Cao Cao, and ordered Yang Xiu to stand in front of him and get closer to see clearly, "Well, if you look carefully now, you will see that it is a bit more stable than before."

"I can leave this matter to you, but in the world of judging people, inspecting character, etc., you need to do everything carefully and not slack off."

"I understand that Dezu will definitely live up to my lord's expectations and be worthy of the recommendation of the prince. In the future, I will carefully review and evaluate talents, become a great man, and recommend talented people to the prime minister!"

"All right!"

Cao Cao nodded repeatedly and even smiled instantly.

He was extremely satisfied with Yang Xiu as his candidate. He had good talent and reputation. He had become famous within a month. And he became famous at a young age. He was already filial and honest at the age of twenty, and he was quick-thinking.

He should be highly praised and loved by Zhong Yao, Xun Yu and others. What they like most is his background.

The Yang family belongs to a hairpin family, and the sages in the family are all loyal and important officials! Now, as the eldest son of this generation, he is also willing to recommend talented people to me. With Yang's plating, it is estimated that the princes of the Manchu Dynasty will be more interested in "

There will no longer be any objection to this saying.

"Dezu, please do whatever you want, I'm waiting to see you criticize the characters."

"Please, Prime Minister, wait and see!"

Yang Xiu solemnly clasped his fists, looking at his expression he knew he was confident and confident.

…

Seven days later, the Yuedan Commentary was officially launched, and the news spread throughout Xudu.

The shock among the nobles spread like a tidal wave. Scholars everywhere were thinking, and Yang Xiu's name once again appeared in everyone's sight.

Overnight, many figures from various places such as Chen Yuanlong in Xuzhou, Chen Wuyu in Jiangnan, Wu Zhi in Xudu, Ding Yi and other young people.

There is also Sima Yi, the son of Sima Fang, who is famous for his writings and has a deep understanding of internal affairs and military affairs. These people are bound to achieve success in the future.

His comments were well-founded, his words were rich and sharp, his demeanor was calm, he could respond fluently to the scholars around him, and he could also discuss poems and songs, winning the favor of countless people overnight.

Naturally, this review was very valuable, and for a time he became popular among people, and he began to visit the Yang family to ask for an audience.

However, Yang Xiu refused them all, and made it clear that the recommendation would be based on what he had observed. If he wanted to recommend himself, he could send his writings or policies to the School Affairs Office, which would send them to the Young Master.

He would read it immediately every day and every night without any delay, all for the sake of justice for the great man.

As a result, his reputation became even more popular. Coincidentally, many of the people he reviewed were immediately accepted as his followers. However, people like Chen Deng, who were already high officials in the territory, naturally used it to enhance their reputation. In the future,

When you get older, you can be promoted to an official position.

The effect was remarkable, and I knew that I could celebrate Yang Dezu's success that day, and that he would become famous and prosper in the future, with disciples all over the world.
