Chapter 185: Sun Jian: I report, Yuan Shu: I report too
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, in the scene played by the Immortal, when Cao Cao is in power, only relatives of the country are willing to be loyal and fight against thieves. Therefore, the old minister guesses that the answer to this question should be Dong Cheng, the uncle of the country." Situ Wang Yun stood up and asked.
Liu Xie expressed his opinion.
"I am not satisfied with what Wang Situ said. Is it possible that except for the relatives of the state, all the ministers are not loyal to the thieves?"
"Yi Lang Zhao Yan is not afraid of Cao Cao, and he directly recommends Wang Aiqing to get rid of Dong's thieves, sacrificing his beloved daughter, and driving a wedge between Dong's thieves and Lu Bu. Aren't you all loyal to get rid of thieves?"
"In my opinion, in addition to relatives of the country, there are still a large number of loyal ministers in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty!"
"Here comes Zhao Yan and makes him General Zhonglang, and Situ Wang Yun the title of Loyal Lord." Liu Xie took advantage of this opportunity to promote Zhao Yan and Wang Yun to win their hearts.
"Old minister, I would like to thank Your Majesty." Wang Yun and Zhao Yan immediately stepped forward to thank Liu Xie.
Especially Wang Yun, who was so moved that he wiped away tears.
Others cast envious glances at Wang Yun and Yang Yan, who were promoted to nobility just based on the scenes played by the immortal.
"Nowadays, the heroes in the Guan are divided and have been fighting for years. We are forced to move westward and stay in the Western Regions. You are all the heroes who founded the country. I will not be stingy with rewards for those who have made contributions." Liu Xie drew a big picture to all the ministers.
cake.
He learned this from Dong Zhuo.
He has studied the history of Dong Zhuo's fortune. Dong Zhuo gave his men benefits, bought people's hearts everywhere, and made them work for him.
Now that they are moving west to the Western Regions, it is the time to hire people. He does not have as many rewards as Dong Zhuo did to reward the civil and military ministers. For the time being, he can only use these officials and titles to win people's hearts.
"We swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death!" Many ministers shouted in unison, whether sincerely or falsely.
"Ding, if no one answers within the specified time, a candidate will be randomly selected to answer. One point will be added for a correct answer, and one point will be deducted for an incorrect answer."
In the answering space, after Cao Cao rushed to answer, no one answered for a long time. A countdown began to appear at the top of the big screen. If no one answered after the countdown, one person would be randomly selected to answer.
"Yuan Benchu, I have eliminated a wrong answer. Don't you even have the courage to do so?" Hearing the voice in the sky, Cao Cao provoked Yuan Shao, trying to force Yuan Shao to answer.
Everyone looked at Yuan Shao, wanting to see how Yuan Shao would face this matter.
"Cao Mengde, you!" Yuan Shao glared at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao is forcing him to answer. If he doesn't answer, won't he tell the world that Yuan Shao is not as courageous as Cao Cao?
But if he answers quickly, his lifespan will be shortened if he gets the answer wrong.
Cao Cao put it on the fire rack to roast it!
Look at the eyes of everyone looking at you.
Yuan Shao pressed the answer button with determination.
Lifespan can be shortened, but face cannot be lost in front of the world.
"Beep!" A rushing voice came from Yuan Shao.
"Ben Chu is so courageous!" Cao Cao gave Yuan Shao a thumbs up, and then waited for Yuan Shao to answer wrongly, and then shorten his life.
"Candidate Yuan Shao, please choose your answer."
A voice came from the sky asking Yuan Shao to choose the answer.
"Huh." After Yuan Shao adjusted his breathing, he shouted to the sky.
"I choose the second one, Dong Cheng!"
"Waiting for your lifespan to be shortened." Liu Biao sneered inwardly, a little gloating. In his analysis, after excluding Yuan Shao and Kong Rong, Dong Cheng was the most unlikely candidate.
However, Liu Biao ignored that in his analysis, the last possible Jiping had been eliminated by Cao Cao.
"Ding, Yuan Shao answered correctly. The answer to this question is Dong Cheng. Yuan Shao will get two additional points."
"Hahaha, thank you Meng De for your encouragement." Hearing the message from the sky that he had answered correctly, Yuan Shao immediately raised his hand to express his gratitude to Cao Cao to annoy Cao Cao.
Don't you want me to answer wrongly and shorten my lifespan?
I happened to answer it correctly, and I’m going to piss you off!
"Brother Benchu, it's serious." Cao Cao reluctantly bowed his hand to Yuan Shao and replied. Seeing that Yuan Shao answered correctly, Cao Cao also felt a sense of powerlessness. The plan depends on people and the success depends on God. There is nothing he can do about it.
He wanted Yuan Shao to answer wrongly and shorten his lifespan, or to make Yuan Shao lose face in front of the world.
But who knew that this guy Yuan Shao was so lucky that he answered correctly.
Let yourself steal the chicken but lose the rice.
"How is this possible!" Liu Biao on the other side looked shocked. Is this guy confused? Is there any way Dong Cheng can deal with Cao Cao?
Immediately above the big screen, the scene that had just been paused began to play again, explaining Liu Biao's doubts.
Fu Wan in the picture recommends Dong Cheng to Liu Xie for this important task.
Liu Xie also agreed with what Fu Wan said: "Uncle Dong Guo often went to national disasters. I know this all the time and can come in and discuss important matters together."
But Fu Wan believed that Liu Xie was surrounded by Cao Cao's confidants, and was worried that the secret would be leaked, so he suggested to Liu Xie: "I have a note, your majesty can make a collar for clothes, take a jade belt, and give it to Dong Cheng secretly, but the lining of the belt
Sew a secret edict and give it to him, and when he gets home to see the edict, he can make plans day and night, without the gods noticing or the ghosts aware."
Liu Xie agreed, biting off his fingertips and writing it in blood, ordered Empress Fu to sew it on the purple brocade lining of the jade belt, put on a brocade robe himself, and tied the belt directly to order the internal historian Xuan Dong to enter.
"Click!"
Not long after the video was played, it was paused again.
Then the voice of the second question came from the sky.
"Second question, which of the following people participated in this bloody edict incident?"
a. Liu Xie b. Dong Cheng c. Empress Fu e. Fu Wan f. Ma Teng g. Prince Fu h. Kong Rong i. Ji Ping j. Wu Shuo k. Zhong Ji l . Liu Bei. m. Qin Qingtong m. Wu Zilan
"This question is a must-answer question. The top three with the most choices will be awarded 3, 2, and 1 points respectively in order of the number of options."
"Choose an error to follow and answer the error."
"Please candidates write what you think is the correct answer."
Paper, ink, pens and inkstones appeared on the platform of the eleven candidates.
Looking at the long list of options, everyone was a little confused. There were thirteen people in total, including those they knew and those they didn't know.
If you choose the wrong one, you will be treated as an error. If you choose not as many as others, you will not be tested yet.
"Isn't this Qin Andong a domestic slave in my house? Could it be that he also has a loyal heart and participated in this matter?" Dong Cheng, who was at the house, guessed as he looked at Qin Andong's name on the big screen.
He knew all the thirteen names above.
Needless to say, Liu Xie and others, Wang Zifu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was his good friend, Captain Zhongji of the Water School, Wu Shuo, the Yilang, and Wu Zilan, the general Zhaoxin, all served in the court.
What surprised Dong Cheng the most was that his slave Qin Andong was among them.
"Come here, call Qin Andong to me." Dong Cheng called outside to see if this person is a man of lofty ideals. If he has the ability, it is not impossible to exempt him from slavery.
"Yes." The guard immediately took orders to call Qin Andong.
Qin Andong on the other side was like an ant on a hot pot, scurrying around anxiously, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
If he has done nothing wrong, he will naturally be happy for his name to appear on the immortal's big screen.
But now he has a ghost inside him!
"Qin Andong, the master is calling you." It didn't take long for the guards to find Qin Andong and ask Qin Andong to see Dong Cheng.
When Qin Andong heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head uneasily and followed the guard.
"My dear friends, you might as well participate together and see who can answer this question." On the other side, Liu Xie ordered people to distribute pens, inks, paper and inkstones to the ministers so that they could participate in the Q&A. This time the immortal did not select him for the Q&A, but
He can get familiar with it in advance this way.
At the same time, Liu Xie silently recorded the names of these people to see who was involved in this matter so that he could win rewards.
"There must be people like Liu Xie, Fu Wan, Queen Fu, and Dong Cheng."
Liu Yan in the answering space looked at the options at the top of the big screen and began to analyze. The immortal had already predicted that these people were the initiators of the Blood Edict and would definitely participate.
There were others he knew and others he didn't know.
This makes it difficult for Liu Yan to make a decision. If he makes a mistake, it will be treated as an answer error and he has to be cautious.
The same goes for everyone else. First write down Liu Xie, Fu Wan, Queen Fu, and Dong Cheng, and then analyze the others.
"Liu Bei should be among them." Yuan Shu thought for a while, wrote Liu Bei's name on the white paper, and then stopped writing and did not dare to continue writing.
Yuan Shu was worried that if he chose someone else, he would choose the wrong one and give himself the wrong answer.
On the other side, Liu Bei not only added himself, but also Ji Ping.
Liu Bei believed that Ji Ping, as an imperial physician, was the person most likely to have contact with Cao Cao, and he should be involved.
And Ji Ping appeared twice in a row, so he must have made an outstanding contribution in this matter.
As for Kong Rong, although he appeared twice in a row, as a reduced general, Kong Rong should not be trusted by the emperor.
Although Liu Bei thought so, Yuan Shao on the other side didn't think so.
In addition to Ji Ping, Yuan Shao also wrote Kong Rong.
Yuan Shao believed that Kong Rong and Ji Ping appeared twice in a row and must have played a role in this matter.
Otherwise Kong Rong would not appear twice in a row.
"Do all of the above people know who they are?" Liu Yan asked the others after writing Liu Bei down.
He only knew half of the people above, and he didn't know much about them, nor did he understand their character.
But Liu Yan, who had no support from other princes, had no one to pay attention to him.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to Liu Yan, Liu Yu thought this was a good opportunity to suppress Liu Yan, so he asked everyone: "Do you all know who these people above are?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Prince Fu is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhong Ji is the captain of the water school, Wu Shuo is Yilang, and Wu Zilan is the general Zhaoxin. All the above people were kidnapped by Dong Zhuo. I don't know if their official positions have changed. As for Qin Andong, I don't know who he is.
Who is it?" Just when Yuan Shao wanted to stand up and explain, Cao Cao was one step ahead of Yuan Shao and stood up first to tell Liu Yu. However, Cao Cao concealed the close relationship between Wang Zifu and Dong Cheng, and Zhong Ji and Wu Shuo were good friends with Wang Zifu.
Information.
He and Yuan Shao both served in the court. In the year when Dong was defeated, these people all served in the court, so they both know these people. They just don't know whether the above people are still the same as history has changed over the years.
While alive, has there been any change in official position?
"Thank you for your kindness." Liu Yu turned aside Liu Yan and thanked Cao Cao.
This made Liu Yan quite unhappy. It was Cao Cao who made him lose face.
Even if Hangu Pass is not returned to him, he is still helping his mortal rival Liu Yu over and over again!
Liu Yan began to plan in his mind whether to attack Hangu Pass during the Yanzhou Rebellion.
But Liu Yan didn't know that his four sons were praying in their hearts that Liu Yan would answer wrongly so that his life span would be shortened.
Although Cao Cao revealed the identities of several people, he did not provide any useful information to everyone.
Without knowing their moral character and personal connections, there is no way to choose.
"Meng De, how do you choose this question?" Sun Jian on the side saw that Cao Cao knew everyone, so he asked Cao Cao for advice in a low voice.
Asking Cao Cao is always more reliable than answering it yourself.
After Cao Cao glanced around, he saw that everyone else was bowing their heads in thought. Changsun Jian said: "I have no choice between Kong Rong, Ma Teng, Qin Andong, and Ji Ping."
Cao Cao told Sun Jian his answer. Three people would get points for this question, so there was no harm in telling Sun Jian.
One more ally means one more chance of winning.
This is his experience since taking part in the quiz.
But Cao Cao didn't know that when Sun Jian asked Cao Cao for advice, Yuan Shu, who was standing next to Cao Cao, listened to it word for word and immediately added several princes to the list.
Soon everyone's answers were displayed on the top of the big screen.
Gongsun Zan: Liu Xie, Fu Wan, Empress Fu, Dong Cheng, Liu Bei
Gongsun Du's answer was exactly the same as Gongsun Zan's. He was in Liaodong. If he hadn't just heard Cao Cao's introduction, he wouldn't have known who those people were.
Liu Yu: Liu Xie, Fu Wan, Fu Queen, Ji Ping, Liu Bei
Yuan Shao: Liu Xie, Fu Wan, Empress Fu, Dong Cheng, Kong Rong, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji, Wu Shuo, Wu Zilan, Liu Bei, Ji Ping.
Yuan Shao has chosen so many people this time, and Yuan Shao also knows what Cao Cao knows.
And he has two test scores in his hand, so he is fully qualified to go out.
Liu Bei: Liu Xie, Fu Wan, Dong Cheng, Liu Bei, Ji Ping.
Liu Bei thought that if he knew about it this time, he would definitely participate, so he chose himself to participate.
Cao Cao: Liu Xie, Fu Wan, Queen Fu, Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji, Wu Shuo, Wu Zilan, Liu Bei
Cao Cao selected nine people in total.
The answers of Sun Jian and Yuan Shu cannot be said to be exactly the same as Cao Cao's, they can only be said to be exactly the same.
Shi Xie: Liu Xie, Fu Wan, Queen Fu, Dong Cheng, Liu Bei, Ji Ping, Qin Andong
Shi Xie believed that the combined power of these princes was enough to cover the entire territory of the Han Dynasty.
But among so many people, no one knows who Qin Andong is.
Shi Xie believed that the Immortal would just randomly put an insignificant person who no one knew among them, and Qin Andong was very likely to be involved in the blood-clothed edict.
As for Liu Yan, he only wrote about five people: Liu Xie, Fu Wan, Queen Fu, Dong Cheng, and Liu Bei.
Liu Yan knew that he was getting older and he couldn't bear the risk of shortening his lifespan. He would just mix up a question if he could, unless he was 100% sure of getting it right.
Liu Yan's sons in the outside world sighed when they saw the answers written by Liu Yan.
Liu Biao and Liu Yan wrote the same thing, only writing about these five people.
It can be said that among all the people, Liu Xie, Fu Wan, Queen Fu, Dong Cheng, and Liu Bei are all required to fill in the form.
The key to victory or defeat lies in his understanding of other options.
"Yuan Gongli, you eavesdropped on my conversation with Meng De!" The moment everyone's answers came out, Sun Jian saw that Yuan Shu was exactly the same as what he and Cao Cao had written, and he immediately scolded Yuan Shu!
Yuan Shu was on the other side of Cao Cao, and what he wrote was the same as Cao Cao's. This was not because he overheard the conversation between him and Meng De.
"Sun Wentai, don't be a slanderer. Do you have any evidence that I stole your speech?" Yuan Shu rolled his eyes at Sun Jian. So what if he eavesdropped? You, Sun Jian, went directly to someone to ask for the answer, and you didn't allow me, Yuan Shu, to eavesdrop?
Besides, you, Sun Jian, don’t have any evidence.
"Yuan Gongli, you didn't eavesdrop. How did you explain that the answer is exactly the same as Meng De's!" Sun Jian continued to angrily scold Yuan Shu.
He shamelessly asked Cao Cao for answers. It would be better for you, Yuan Shu, to get something for nothing.
"What? Could it be that only Cao Mengde is allowed to write these answers?" Yuan Shu shook his sleeves angrily.
Cao Cao, standing between the two, closed his eyes tightly, not wanting to hear the two of them arguing.
"Yuan Shu overheard my communication with Meng De and asked the immortal to expel Yuan Shu from the examination room." Sun Jian was a little angry when he saw that Yuan Shu was not able to get in. He directly asked the sky for instructions and asked the immortal to expel Yuan Shu from the examination room.
"Sun Jian and Cao Cao colluded with each other, ignored the rules of the examination room, and violated the fairness of the examination room. I beg the immortals to expel Cao Cao and Sun Jian from the examination room and never use them again!" Yuan Shu also reported to the sky that he was going to fight with Cao Cao and Sun Jian.
The momentum of dying together.
On the other side, Yuan Shao saw Sun Jian and Yuan Shu arguing and sneered in his heart. Yuan Shao felt that it was not a problem for Sun Jian to ask Cao Cao for the answer, and it was not a problem for Yuan Shu to eavesdrop. The answer was not that anyway.
"Everything is within the rules, and no one violates the rules of the examination room."
A mechanical sound floated down from the sky, bringing this incident into a circle.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Yuan Shu glanced at Sun Jian arrogantly, provoking Sun Jian, as if telling Sun Jian, it doesn't matter if I eavesdropped, you can do anything to me.
Sun Jian glared at Yuan Shu, as if he wanted to swallow Yuan Shu in one gulp.
Liu Xie on the other side also received the answer from the Manchu civil and military minister.
