Chapter 45 Imperial Recruitment

Cao Song lost a lot of weight, and really suffered a lot from the early death of his brothers.He is alone now, but he has to worry about new things. Qiao Xuan said that when Cai Yong came back, he would definitely revise the books again, and would recruit young talents who are proficient in ancient studies to serve as officials in the court, but it has been more than a year, and there has been no movement.Moreover, there was a rumor that Cai Yong suddenly resigned from office on the way back to the court and disappeared, so Ma Rixun had to handle the matter of proofreading.When will my son come back to me?There were a few times when Cao Song really wanted to personally go out to the Cao Festival or Xu Xiang and the others to exercise, but he held back.In order for the Cao family to have a decent descendant, he and his son must wait patiently.

This day was the court meeting again, the Hong Zhong rang, and the officials with more than two thousand stones were all fully dressed, and they had been seated in the Yutang Hall for a long time, but the emperor's arrival had not been seen for a long time.After a long time, everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do.At this moment, the golden bell outside the hall rang three times, and the servant of the Huangmen led the emperor Liu Hong to come from the back hall.The civil and military officials immediately fell silent, knelt down and held Yahu mountain high, calling for see you.

"Everyone's family is flat..." Liu Hong's voice was not loud. All the officials stood up and returned to their seats, but when they looked up, they saw Liu Hong's sad expression.Liu Hong lightly held up a memorial and said: "I received a memorial last night. I read it repeatedly and couldn't sleep. It was submitted by the old Qiao Xuan from his hometown in Suiyang. The old man is seven years old this year. At the age of twelve, he was still concerned about my country and society. He encouraged me to govern the country well, and reminded me to pay attention to the selection of talents. I suddenly remembered that he once suggested recruiting people who are proficient in ancient studies..."

Cao Song's eyes lit up!Because he is Da Honglu, one of the Nine Ministers, he sat closer to the front, and he could hear every word of Liu Hong very clearly. "Qiao Xuan said that "Guwen Shangshu", "Mao Shi" and "Zhuliang Chunqiu" are all classic studies, and he should carry forward this righteousness and educate the world. He also said that those who know these must be wise men. In addition, the old man personally recommended several There is a virtuous official, and there is another person..." Liu Hong looked down at the memorial and said, "Cao Cao in Qiao County is familiar with righteousness and principles, which can be used to great effect. Who knows this Cao Cao?"

In an instant, countless eyes gathered on Cao Song, some envious, some hated, some jealous, some contemptuous, some joyful, some resentful, but no one answered the emperor's question.At this time, Cao Song couldn't say anything in person, but Cui Lie, the lieutenant beside him, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Cao's name is Meng De, and he is the son of Master Cao, Da Honglu." "Oh?" Liu Hong was taken aback, looking for Cao Song among the crowd, "Cao Aiqing!" "The minister is here!" Cao Song hurried out of Ban Juhu. "The Cao Cao mentioned by Qiao Xuan is your son?"

"It's the dog." Cao Song lowered his head. "Well, there is no need to be humble, the tiger father has no dogs..." Liu Hong paused for a while, and suddenly patted the imperial case.Cao Song shivered in fright, and his heart came to his throat, but Liu Hong laughed, "Haha... I remembered! Isn't your son Cao Cao the same as Cao Mengde, who killed the powerful and famous capital? People are good, Cao Jie once recommended me to be a foreigner for training, how could I forget? It should have been transferred back a long time ago! Cao Aiqing, what is your son's position now?"

Cao Song finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the master was happy, he hurriedly said: "The dog was originally the county magistrate of Dunqiu, but he was dismissed from his post due to the post-Song incident. It has been more than a year." "Hmm..." Liu Hong lowered his head.Cao Cao really had good luck this time: firstly, Qiao Xuan recommended him to treat him differently; secondly, Liu Hong himself knew him, but he had forgotten him for a long time; Those who abandoned the Song Dynasty case naturally sympathized. After thinking for a while, Liu Hong said: "The imperial edict is to enlist Cao Cao to enter the court, and he will be temporarily worshiped as Yilang, and he will definitely be used in the future!"

Although Cao Song had been looking forward to this moment for more than half a year, he was still quite excited when it really arrived. He hastily held up the wat board and knelt down on the ground: "I thank you for your grace. I will teach the children and do the best for the country!" " After saying that, he kowtowed again and again, the gratitude to Qiao Xuan in his heart was really hard to express.
