"Your Majesty, please allow me to report! As courtiers, we should be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, eat the monarch's salary, and share the monarch's worries. We absolutely dare not take advantage of this to bend the law for personal gain.”
Xun Yu was a virtuous gentleman and a refined man. His righteous speech was much more noble than those beasts in human clothing in the past.
Seeing Liu Bian nod in agreement, Xun Yu went straight to the point and recommended,"
"My good friend Guo Jia is extremely talented and knowledgeable. His thinking ability is sharp and he can see through people's hearts.
"The only regret is that Guo Fengxiao doesn't care about trifles. His behavior is indulgent, and he likes drinking as much as his life. He can only be a local official and can't be a capital official.”
Guo Jia?
One of the future top strategists of Cao Camp!
Liu Bian recalled Guo Jia's evaluation of " not governing and inspecting " and agreed with it. However, as a ruler, one shouldn't be constrained by the shortcomings of his subjects. Instead, one needed to bring out the strengths of his subjects.
With Guo Jia's superb intelligence and ability to plan strategies, he was able to defeat the enemy. On the contrary, his "no treatment" was tolerated.
However, Guo Jia consumed Five Stones Powder and was addicted to alcohol, which led to his early death. This matter needed to be greatly curbed.
"A ruler should know how to use people well and make good use of them. He should make good use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. He should not judge people by their appearance!" Liu Bian said solemnly.
"Since you approve of him, Guo Jia must have his own merits. We can recruit him to the capital and use his abilities to determine his position!”
"Your Majesty is wise! We can't compare!" Xun Yu shouted.
In fact, this was also Xun Yu's way of testing Liu Bian's attitude. He wanted to see what talents the Emperor needed and what his views on the requirements of talents were.
Xun Yu had many good friends, and Guo Jia was just one of them.
Guo Jia was definitely one of the best in terms of talent and strategic planning. Unfortunately, Guo Jia's shortcoming of not treating patients was also outstanding.
This revealed a problem. What kind of restrictions did His Majesty have on talent?
And now, Liu Bian's answer was-
He only valued talent! As long as you could pass the open-book test, your ability would decide whether you stayed or went. The local officials and the capital officials would look at your results!
This made Xun Yu and the few ministers in the court aware. In fact, this was also a manifestation of resourcefulness and politics.
Accompanying the king was like accompanying a tiger. They had to be careful with their words and actions. Otherwise, they would not be qualified to stand in front of Liu Bian and become the big shots who ruled the world!
"Besides Guo Jia, I recommend Zhong Yao, Xi Zhicai, Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Du Xi, Hua Xin, Wang Lang…" Xun Yu continued.
In the future, many of Cao Cao's top strategists, capable ministers, and pillars of the army were actually recommended by Xun Yu. Now he recommended it to Liu Bian.
Liu Bian nodded one by one. He only respected talent and would not reject anyone!
Of course, these people couldn't become officials just because they were recommended. Although Liu Bian did not abolish the recommendation system, he was no longer appointed.
The recommendation was just a channel. Next, he needed to open the book and test it!
Xun Yu recommended dozens of people, most of whom were military strategists and commanders. After giving a general account of the situation, he returned to his position.
The other courtiers also stepped forward. Xun Yu had taken the lead for them and figured out the Emperor's thoughts. They already had a plan in mind.
After Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu Rong and the other big shots left, Cao Cao saw that no one stepped forward and directly cupped his hands,
"Your Majesty, I recommend the Cao family's direct descendants. I'm not appointing people by favoritism.
"Our Cao family has many talents and brilliant generals! People like Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan are generals who are skilled in both the civil and martial arts…"
Cao Cao began to boast to the direct descendants of the Cao and Xiahou Clans. However, they did have the ability to do so.
"You are allowed to enter the capital for the test!" Liu Bian said solemnly.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed. Now that there was a vacancy in the royal court, it was time to vigorously promote talents. If they could seize this opportunity, their Cao family might rise up and shake off the reputation of being a eunuch.
After Cao Cao left, no official came forward to recommend him. Liu Bian looked around and wanted to turn the page, but Zhuge Zhengwo came forward.
This made Liu Bian a little confused. After all, Zhuge Zhengwo was signed in by him. Even if the system implanted the burly man's memory, he was still unfamiliar with the place.
Could it be that he had something else to report?
"Your Majesty, I also have someone to recommend. I hope Your Majesty will approve!”Zhuge Zhengwo bowed.
This made Liu Bian a little curious. He nodded and said,"I approve. Great General Zhuge can speak freely!”
Zhuge Zhengwo was now the substitute general, above the three dukes, and in charge of Liu Bian's Snow Dragon Cavalry!
Zhuge Zhengwo said,
"My younger brother Zhuge Gui is the Taishan County Magistrate. He died of illness last year, leaving his five sons alone. His eldest son, Zhuge Jin, is said to be talented and outstanding. I hope that I can recommend him to Your Majesty and raise my younger brother's orphan.”
With Zhuge Zhengwo's status, he could even bring his brother's orphan into the capital. However, with his Loyalty of 100, he would still report to His Majesty first.
Zhuge Zhengfang would only do this if His Majesty allowed it. After all, he was the Great General and the commander of the Snow Dragon Cavalry. His every word and action had to follow the emperor's orders. He could not act on his own!
The officials did not react in any way, but Liu Bian was secretly criticizing them.
He didn't know much about Zhuge Gui, but Zhuge Jin…Wasn't he a future important official of Dongwu and Zhuge Liang's elder brother?
He recalled Zhuge Zhengwo's true identity-the descendant of Zhuge Wuhou. Liu Bian felt a little strange!
The system sure knows how to play! Did his descendants become his ancestors?
Zhuge Liang called Zhuge Zhengwo uncle?!
Liu Bian cursed in his heart, but his expression did not change. He said solemnly,"I approve! The Great General will bring his brother's orphan back to the capital to raise!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhuge Zhengwo was overjoyed. It was Cao Cao's words that gave him courage and inspiration.
"Do you have any other candidates?”
Liu Bian looked around and asked. However, no one else stepped forward at this time. All the talents in the world had been captured in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Liu Bian took out a name list and said to Shen Lian,""Shen Lian, I also have a candidate to recommend. Immediately order the Jinyiwei to go and recruit them. The candidates recommended by the beloved ministers will also be recruited by the Jinyiwei with an edict!”
Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and took it, passing it to Shen Lian in small steps. He glanced at the name list and remembered the name!
The talents recommended by His Majesty were completely different from the talents recommended by the ministers!
"This general will obey!"
After Shen Lian bowed, he carefully took the name list from Cao Zhengchun and glanced at it from the corner of his eyes.
Jizhou Zhao Yun (Changshan Zhao Zilong), Jizhou Zhang He, Jizhou Gao Lan, Jizhou Jishou, Jizhou Tian Feng…
Yanzhou Dian Wei, Yanzhou Li Dian, Yanzhou Yu Jin, Yanzhou Yue Jin, Yanzhou Cheng Yu, Yanzhou Man Chong, Yanzhou Chen Gong…

Just now, Xun Yu recommended the people of Yuzhou, Cao Cao recommended the generals of Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and as for Liangzhou and Bingzhou, one was heavily injured in prison, and the other was tied up in prison.
It could be said that this recommendation had almost captured all the talents in the world.
Shen Lian sighed in his heart. This mission was so important that it was definitely a huge challenge for the Jinyiwei!
The lack of manpower was also the biggest problem at the moment!
Just as Shen Lian was thinking about how to ask for him, Liu Bian's voice echoed in the court.
