Chapter 36-Needle Against Awn, Kong Rong's Taunt! (New book, evaluation ticket!)
Cao Xuan's Three-Character Classic had caused a huge commotion in Xu Capital recently.
Throughout the entire month, the Three Character Classic had become familiar to everyone in the streets and alleys of Xu City.
The most interesting thing was that it was rumored that the Three Character Classic was written by a six or seven-year-old child.
This was one of the reasons why the Three Character Classic could spread so quickly.
Moreover, it wasn't just Xu Capital. Half of Yanzhou was now circulating the Three-Character Classic.
Ever since Kong Xuan heard of the Three Character Classic that day, she had been thinking about how to slap Cao Cao in the face.
A six or seven-year-old child writing a book?
If this wasn't a fantasy, what was it?
Did he think that all the scholars in the world were fools?
"Has Your Majesty heard of the Three Character Classic?" Kong Rong said to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie, who was sitting behind the dragon table, shook his head.""What is the Three Character Classic that my dear minister is talking about?”
"I have not heard of it."
Kong Rong smiled at Cao Cao and said,"Your Majesty, this Three-Character Classic is an enlightenment book. The content of the book is interesting, and it is said that it was written by a six or seven-year-old child.”
"Oh?" "You said that a six or seven-year-old child wrote a book?" Liu Xie raised his eyebrows.”
"This Zhen has never heard of this before. What is the content of this Three Character Classic?”
Liu Xie, who was behind the Dragon Case, was very interested.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes as he watched Kong Rong and Liu Xie's performance.
Cao Cao naturally wouldn't believe that Liu Xie hadn't heard of the Three Character Classic.
There were still people in the streets and alleys who didn't know the Three Character Classic?
Although Liu Xie lived in the palace, he was well-informed.
"The content of this Three Character Classic is really interesting. This subject will let Your Majesty listen to it in the coming years."
As Kong Rong spoke, he began to recite the contents of the Three Character Classic.
"In the beginning, people are good by nature. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart."
Kong Rong stood in the hall, reciting while shaking his head.
The hundreds of courtiers in the hall were already familiar with the Three Character Classic.
It was not an exaggeration to say that everyone had one.
However, every time he mentioned the Three Character Classic, he would remember that this book was written by a six or seven-year-old child.
No matter how he thought about it, it was unbelievable.
It was a long and lengthy speech of more than a thousand words, but the truth and story poured out was refreshing.
Many people had already called it an object of enlightenment.
He had even started to use it as an introductory book for his children.
Kong Rong stood in the hall and recited the Three Character Classic of over a thousand words.
It had to be said that Kong Rong was a scholar after all. He didn't feel any pressure at all when memorizing the Three Character Classic of over a thousand words.
Liu Xie, who was sitting behind the dragon table, shook his head as he listened.
After Kong Rong finished reciting the Three Character Classic, Liu Xie started clapping.
"Good, good, this Three Character Classic is written so exquisitely.”
"Although the words are simple, they are enlightening. I have many feelings after hearing them.”
"My dear minister, you said that the Three Character Classic was written by a six or seven-year-old child. I wonder who wrote it?”Liu Xie pretended to be confused.
Kong Rong looked at Cao Cao once again, his tone filled with ridicule.
"Your Majesty will have to ask Sikong Cao about this.”Kong Rong arrived.
"Oh?" Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and looked at Cao Cao,"My dear minister, I have long heard that there is a young son in my manor called Cao Zhi. His talent is unparalleled. Could it be Cao Zhi?”
"No." Cao Cao shook his head.
"Zhi 'er is already nine years old." Cao Cao said.
Liu Xie pretended to be surprised and said,"Could it really be as Minister Kong said, that this Three Character Classic was written by a six or seven year old child?”
Kong Rong seized the opportunity and said,"A six or seven-year-old child writing a book is an ancient legend. This is the first time Your Majesty has heard of a six or seven-year-old child writing a book.”
"This is probably the first time all the officials in the court have heard of it.”
"Sikong, don't hide it anymore. Why don't you let everyone see what kind of prodigy you are? To be able to write a book at the age of six or seven.”
"Your Majesty must be very curious.”
"The Great Han Dynasty has such a talent, and Sikong Cao's residence has such a prodigy.”
"Isn't Sikong planning to show everyone the child prodigy who wrote the book?”Kong Rong said sarcastically.
No one who could stand in the Imperial Court was a fool.
Everyone could see what Kong Rong wanted to do.
What he meant was that he did not believe that a six or seven-year-old child could write a book.
The reason why he wanted to see the book prodigy was probably to expose Cao Cao's intentions.
However…
Was Cao Cao afraid?
No one knew better than Cao Cao whether this book was written by Cao Xuan or not.
It was just a Three-Character Classic. Could it defeat Cao Xuan's analysis of the world's general trend?
How could he defeat Cao Xuan, who could analyze the personalities and development of the vassals of the world just by reading a book and hearing from Xu Chu?
The Qilin that Cao Cao valued was far more capable than just writing books.
"Sikong, why aren't you speaking?"
Seeing that Cao Cao didn't answer immediately, Kong Rong naturally assumed that Cao Cao was guilty.
At this time, Liu Xie tactfully shut his mouth.
Cao Cao laughed coldly,"Since Kong Wen Ju wants to see it, how can I reject him?"”
As soon as Cao Cao said this, a commotion broke out in the hall.
In the past month, he had only heard of Cao Xuan's name, but he had never seen him in person.
He could finally see it today.
Everyone in the hall was curious about what kind of child Cao Xuan was.
Kong Rong stood with his hands behind his back, a mocking expression on his face.
A six or seven-year-old child writing a book was simply a fantasy. Even if it was said to be ridiculous, Kong Rong would not believe it.
As long as Cao Xuan went up to the palace, Kong Rong would have a way to expose Cao Cao's true colors.
After Cao Cao agreed, Liu Xie ordered Cao Xuan to enter the palace.
The atmosphere in the palace hall immediately became very strange.
Some were waiting to see who Cao Xuan was, some were waiting to see Cao Cao make a fool of himself, and some were waiting to see if Cao Cao would kill Kong Xuan in a fit of rage after being slapped in the face.
In short, everyone was waiting.
He was waiting for Cao Xuan to appear.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn.
A eunuch's shout came from outside the hall.
"Cao Xuan enters the palace for an audience."
"Cao Xuan enters the palace for an audience."
"Cao Xuan enters the palace for an audience…"
Liu Xie, who was sitting behind the dragon table, suddenly perked up and waved his sleeves.
"Xuan."
As Liu Xie spoke, everyone in the hall instantly turned their gazes in the direction of the hall.
