Chapter 639 Yang Xiu, the examiner from the Ministry of Personnel! Cao Cao's army has no comman
"Zhongda, since you're here too, why don't we discuss the matter of setting the exam papers together?"
After finalizing Sima Yi's marriage, Su Yu and Xun Yu continued to discuss the preparation of the examination papers.
After hearing Su Yu's plan, Sima Yi was filled with shock and disbelief.
It really has to be my brother-in-law!
They're nowhere near as good as Zhong Yao or Lao Deng!
"What suggestions does Zhongda have?"
Xun Yu looked at Sima Yi with a kind gaze.
But it was this look that made Sima Yi tremble violently, even more terrifying than seeing the elderly Wang Ling!
"My lord, I've heard that a young man named Zhuge Kongming has come to the Ministry of Rites. He is very talented."
"Why not let him be the chief examiner for this exam?"
For some reason, Sima Yi blurted out the name of Zhuge Liang, even though he had never met Zhuge Liang, only heard of his name.
"Kongming?"
“He has been under a lot of pressure lately.”
“If he gets distracted by setting exam questions again, I’m afraid he’ll get tired.”
Upon hearing this, Sima Yi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Huh? Are you even human, Xun Yu?
The other outstanding talents in the Minister's office were all exceptionally capable.
When it comes to Zhuge Liang, they start to feel sorry for him?
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.
Comparing cattle and horses is like staring at each other in vain!
Besides Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi recommended another person.
"My lord, what do you think of Yang Xiu?"
"He has experience working in both the Court of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel, making him a rare talent!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xun Yu nodded in agreement:
"Speaking of Yang Xiu, I haven't settled accounts with him yet."
"Was it him who spread the title of 'Lord of Pain'?"
Sima Yi lowered his head, suppressing a laugh.
Could he admit that the idea of "Painful Lord" was actually conceived by a small group of runaway cattle and horses from the Ministry of Rites?
Obviously not!
Of course, Yang Xiu was the one who contributed the most articles to the Central Plains Daily.
The rest of the people combined don't even amount to half of what he did!
Therefore, it's not fair to wrong Yang Xiu into being the scapegoat.
Xun Yu thought about it more and more and felt that Yang Xiu's reckless behavior outside was really damaging to the reputation of the Minister's Mansion.
You've been away for too long, you should go home and visit, right?
Don't let the family members in the Minister's residence miss him too much!
I miss you so much at the Minister's residence, hehehe!
Besides that, Yang Xiu is a very talented writer.
Yang Xiu, who uses the pen name "Xiu Xiu the Most Handsome," has become a regular contributor to the Zhongyuan Daily.
Since you're so talented, why not set some questions for the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat?
What?
You asked if there's any compensation?
Upon entering the Minister's residence, you will automatically receive the "Minister's Residence Family Member" badge.
We're all family now, why are we talking like strangers?
Talking about money hurts feelings!
As for working hours, since Yang Xiu had to work at the Court of Justice during the day, he would go to the Ministry of Personnel to prepare examination papers in the evenings and during his rest time.
To ensure fairness and prevent leaks, several different sets of exam papers should be made, with the difficulty level increased!
It should showcase the grandeur of the Minister's Mansion while also encouraging young talents from aristocratic families to participate.
In short, the exam papers are difficult, pretentious, and come in different types.
However, scions of prominent families could always answer some questions and, with excellent results, enter the Ministry of Personnel to serve as servants.
Xun Yu thought highly of Yang Xiu.
He is undoubtedly the chief examiner who sets the exam questions!
then.
At Sima Yi's friendly recommendation, Yang Xiu was taken to the Minister of Works' residence by servants as soon as he finished his shift.
Gazing at the familiar plaque before him, Yang Xiu couldn't stop the tears from streaming down his cheeks.
He struggled and tried to break free.
But they were like a small boat in a storm, easily destroyed!
"I don't want to go to the Minister's residence! I don't want to!"
The commotion was so great, and the scene so tragic, that all who saw it were moved to tears.
Unfortunately, there is no Ultraman in the world, and the light of hope will never come.
But the moment the gates of the Minister's residence opened and closed again, Yang Xiu's world turned completely dark.
Humans always have to pay the price for their actions.
When Yang Xiu used the pen name "Xiu Xiu is the Most Handsome" to "slander" the Minister's Mansion, his tragic end was already sealed!
of course.
Because Yang Xiu's official position was still with the Court of Justice, the position of Minister of the Imperial Secretariat was only a part-time job for him.
Therefore, Xun Yu would only ask him to prepare exam papers twice a year.
But how long it would take to prepare each set of exam papers was up to Xun Yu.
"Tsk, isn't this Dezu? Long time no see!"
The family members in the Minister's mansion, who had been missing Yang Xiu for a long time, revealed their scarlet Sharingan eyes and greeted Yang Xiu in a friendly manner.
Don't forget the welcoming ceremony!
Especially for returning players like Yang Xiu who "go and then come back," the family members must create an unforgettable memory for him, making him feel like a guest returning home.

Jizhou
Guangzong
Chen Gong's brows were furrowed so deeply they almost formed a "川" shape.
The letter that Ju Zong sent to Zhong Yao was written by Chen Gong himself.
His words were sharp and to the point, exposing Su Yu's sinister intentions!
It was thought that Zhong Yao would respond quickly.
But more than half a month has passed, and there is still no news from Zhong Yao.
On the contrary, Cao Cao's nearly 150,000 troops, led by several generals, gradually surrounded Ji Province and You Province!
Clearly, a war is about to break out.
Furthermore, Bingzhou had already been occupied by Lu Xun and Cao Zhen.
Now, Jizhou and Youzhou are surrounded by enemies on three sides, and only the Xianbei in the north can bring them some sense of security.
"Chen Gong, what exactly is going on?"
"Could it be that you overestimated Zhong Yao's intelligence? Or perhaps Su Ziyi offered him a deal that satisfied him?"
Ju Zong asked Chen Gong impatiently.
His respect for Chen Gong was based on the premise that Chen Gong could lead him to turn the tide and reverse the impending doom.
But now, Chen Gong's plan has not worked, and Cao Cao's army is getting closer and closer to the two provinces of Ji and You.
Chen Gong glanced at Ju Zong, feigning composure, and lectured him in a tone befitting an elder:
"Look, you're in a hurry!"
“Zhong Yao has not gained any advantage over Su Yu over the years.”
“If a single letter could make him turn against his side, then it wouldn’t just be Su Yu who would turn against him, but also Cao Cao and Cao Ang.”
"It's normal to hesitate for a while."
"Currently, Cao Jun's commander-in-chief has not shown up."
"The spies also found no indication that Cao Cao, Cao Ang, and Su Yu had left Xuchang."
"The 150,000-strong army approaching Ji and You provinces seems to be a scattered army without a unified commander, fighting independently."
"If we can seize the opportunity and join forces with the Xianbei to wipe out one or two of their armies, we can definitely demoralize Cao Cao's army."
"At the same time, it will also help to win over Zhong Yao to defect and launch a fatal blow!"
Chen Gong's analysis was very logical and reasonable.
Ju Zong, Hua Xin, Sima Hui, and others all agreed that it made sense.
In their view.
The most powerful commander in Cao Cao's camp was Cao Cao himself.
The most disgusting combination is Cao Cao, Su Yu, and the four scourges of Cao Cao's camp.
If these people don't participate, the rest are just a bunch of worthless idiots!
The rebel forces outnumber Cao Cao's army, so the advantage is on my side!
