"Your Majesty, what is this decree? So what tricks does Ma Chao want to play? ”

Cai Yong looked at the tired young man, looked at his thin body, and couldn't help but feel some compassion. However, after taking the paper, he had to ask suspiciously.

Liu Xie was speechless, looking at the withered trees outside the window, and sighed like an old man who was surprised and vicissitudes.

"This imperial examination...... It's not something that can be said in one sentence. Yesterday, Ma Chao issued a decree in Fufeng, and he immediately wrote down a copy silently and sent it to me. And after thinking about it carefully, I found that Ma Chao's intentions were actually like this...... So," speaking of this, Liu Xie felt that he couldn't think of a word to describe Ma Chao.

Say that Ma Chao's intentions are insidious?

People are upright and upright, under the guise of promoting talents for the country, who can say that people are insidious?

But if Ma Chao is honest, Liu Xie himself wants to slap himself: those talents, can he be obediently sent to Chang'an? Not all of them were intercepted in his Ma family, except for letting the students of the world be grateful to the Ma family, where would they have the slightest gratitude to the imperial court?

Moreover, what is even more hateful is that Liu Xie is worried that this is just Ma Chao's first move, and his later move will definitely gradually reveal his invincible strength as the Ma family grows. And these, Liu Xie can't say it to those Manchu civil and military forces!

Even, Liu Xie suspected that even Cai Yong, a guy with the name of Confucianism, couldn't see the special meaning of this paper decree. Sure enough, after a while, Cai Yong really asked suspiciously, as Liu Xie expected: "Your Majesty, this is just a workaround for the Ma family to take talents." Yongliang Erzhou has not been prosperous since ancient times, and Ma Chao used this carving insect skill, I'm afraid he was forced to be helpless, right? ”

Liu Xie didn't even have the strength to sigh at this time, and after he walked back and forth for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Bo Jiao, take a closer look at the method and scope of the selection!" ”

"All sons who are enrolled in Yongzhou, after graduating from the county school, regardless of age, regardless of background, and without recommendation, can freely participate in the imperial examination. In addition, scholars from all over the world, regardless of whether the state or county they belong to are under the rule or not, can also go back and forth to help the wind to take the exam......" Cai Yong read it out unnaturally, and then finally understood, and said in a trembling voice: "This son wants to include the Han Shi of the Shu clan in the world?!" ”

"Not bad!" Liu Xie was overjoyed, and after seeing that Cai Yong still had some brains, he continued: "Although he acts like this, he may offend the world's corporal clan. However, Yongliang Erzhou, how can there be a well-known family with full heritage? And how little resistance does he have? What's more, even if the scholars reach the sky with one hand, how can they compare to the strength of the tens of millions of hard-working students of the Han Dynasty? ”

"I'm afraid this is just a temptation for Ma Chao, if I guess right, as long as Ma Chao has some eyebrows in this imperial examination, then he will definitely spare no effort to stand on the opposite side of the scholar clan in the future, so as to find a unique road of hegemony for his Ma family!"

After saying this, Liu Xie sighed helplessly, a little excited, and slowly walked outside the palace, looking at the dark sky alone, I don't know what to sigh.

"Your Majesty, if the Lower Clans are already entrenched, their strength should not be underestimated. Dong Zhuo's death was a conspiracy planned by the scholars. Xiliang Xiaoxiong, who was as ambitious as Dong Zhuo, also died at the hands of the scholars, how could Ma Chao escape the counterattack of the scholars? As long as His Majesty reveals the essence of Ma Chao's imperial examination to those scholars, ......." When it came to Dong Zhuo, Cai Yong's eyes still showed a trace of embarrassment. He is not a ruthless and ruthless person like Wang Yun, and Cai Yong still has a trace of guilt and gratitude in his heart for Dong Zhuo's generous promotion.

"I'm afraid Bo Ji doesn't know, on the surface, Dong Zhuo died at the hands of scholars and Lu Bu, but in fact, Ma Chao also participated a lot in it. Even, it can be said that he played a very important role in threading the needle, and in the end, under the calculation of me and Wang Yun, he retreated. This son ......." Liu Xie turned his head and affirmed very seriously: "It is definitely not comparable to Dong Zhuo!" He has more vision and scheming than Dong Zhuo, and what is even more terrifying is that he is never greedy for merit......."

"Your Majesty, how should you deal with this?" Cai Yong asked these words at this time, and his heart was also full of sorrow. After all, even if he didn't want to admit it, Ma Chao was his son-in-law, but the emperor's grace was vast, and His Majesty trusted himself so much....... That's it! It is difficult to achieve both loyalty and righteousness, and he is a loyal minister of the Han family, so he naturally must know the truth of giving up small righteousness and serving the country loyally.

"What Bo Ji Shicai said is true, the Shi clan is indeed intertwined, and Ma Chao is not a thing in the pool. Wang Yun got the news of Ma Chao at this time, and I am afraid that he will be even more annoyed. It's better for me to follow the example of He Jin back then......."

"This? Does Your Majesty really want to win over Ma Chao to deal with Wang Yun? Is it true that the power of scholars has been entrenched in the court and the tail is too big? "He Jin was actually a pawn in the hands of the scholars back then, and finally died and the clan was wiped out. When Cai Yong heard that Liu Xie had made this risky move, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in his heart.

"Don't forget, a loyal person like you is also from the noble clan. And that Pifu Lu Bu has also been invested in Wang Yun's men, and this regime and military have no one to fight with Wang Yun. At this time, if you don't attract foreign aid, how can you make a profit? After Liu Xie said this, he smiled miserably at Cai Yong, and then waved his hand, and the two black-clothed guards appeared quietly.

Cai Yong knew that this was Liu Xie's eviction order for himself. Then he knelt down and retired, but when he got up, he said: "The old minister will write a letter to Yan'er, asking her to devote her heart to the Han family and help Princess Wannian a lot......."

Liu Xie didn't look back, but the corners of his mouth curved an arc: This Cai Yong is not too stupid, and finally understood the purpose of letting him come to the dormitory late at night.......

At the same moment, Duanmu Ruoyu, who was lying on the bed of Baihualou, had a gloomy face, as if she had been trampled by a wild bull, which made her still have pain and spasms all over her body, which made her feel that it was a luxury to even gasp.

When he was young, Duanmu's little maid brought a basin of hot water inside, crying and crying: "Miss, let the little maid wipe your body for you......."

"No need, I just want to know, have you found out?" Duanmu Ruoyu said with difficulty, but his eyes turned a little more energetic. Perhaps, the achievement of this spy news is already her only living faith.

"The news is correct, the sisters of the official prostitutes have come out of the mouths of the slaves of the Situ family, and Wang Yun has often been feasting and drinking with those scholars in recent days, plotting to annex Yongzhou and welcoming the heroes of Guandong into Beijing to govern. And the sisters of the military prostitutes also heard the news that the Bingzhou army had received a reward from the imperial court, and also, under the instruction of Lu Bu and the general of Bingzhou, there was also the news that they often provoked friction with the Huben forbidden army. The little maid sobbed, and though her speech was a little slurred, she was very coherent.

In this way, Wang Yun has indeed subdued Lü Bu and began to monopolize the power of the imperial court. I just don't know, what news is coming from the palace? Duanmu Ruoyu tried to immerse herself in analytical thinking, and only in this way could she alleviate the pain in her body.

"Miss, you also know that since Miss Diao Chan left, we have hardly had many eyes and ears in the palace. Although those eunuchs are also a few psychopaths, His Majesty seems to have a great prejudice against eunuchs, so ........" Speaking of this, the door suddenly rang, and Duanmu Ruoyu immediately signaled the little maid to silence, but after seeing that the person who came was the old bustard of this Baihualou, the tension on her face was also eliminated, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw that after the old bustard of Baihualou suddenly pushed the door in, the unique greedy and coquettish look on his face disappeared immediately, he glanced at Duanmu Ruoyu who was lying on the bed, and bowed down in a sad voice and said: "Miss, the news just came out from Situ's mansion, Wang Yun was furious tonight, and scolded Ma Chao for being shameless and ruthless.......

This old bustard is a loyal servant of the Duanmu family, originally Duanmu Ruoyu's nurse, and has always been obsessed with the kindness of the Duanmu family, and has always been regarded as Duanmu Ruoyu as a young lady in secret. And Duanmu Ruoyu had the ambition to relieve the sad fate of the sisters in the world, so he also pulled her, the eight-faced delicate nurse, into it.

"Can you hear the abusive?" Duanmu Ruoyu wanted to let the two of them get up, but her body was in pain, so she didn't force politeness.

"The servants couldn't hear it very clearly, except for a few words that seemed to say, 'This is clearly the life-killing sticker of the family's gate valve!' As soon as this move comes out, the foundation of the family's survival in the future will be ruined! Ma Chao is a traitor, and he wants to change this big man with the Ma family, which is really wishful thinking, and it is not a pity to die! After that, it was completely abusive, and although there was not a word of foul language, it was more vicious than our sisters' swearing....... It seems that he hates Ma Chao to the core. The old bustard wanted to praise Wang Yun's scolding methods, but after seeing that Duanmu Ruoyu was reluctant to even smirk, he quickly ended his words.

But after Duanmu Ruo was stupid, he fell into deep thought, and that kind of serious and focused appearance made the old bustard and the little maid look at each other, and they were puzzled in their hearts. After that, I heard Duanmu Ruoyu's resolute voice: "This news is too important, I want to go to Fufeng in person!" ”

As she spoke, Duanmu Ruoyu's right hand unconsciously held the Luo Qi sachet that she never left and emitted a strange fragrance: Fufeng County, she has been there once.......
