It was a bit surprising to Guo Peng that Cao Zhi had the second place in the exam, because he felt that Cao Zhi had the strength to hit the first place.

Genius is also a genius. Cao Zijian, who possesses the unique talent, has shown extraordinary talent since childhood.

Although he still likes to recite poems and essays, likes to climb high and look far away, and live a life of a romantic and talented man, he is not spared under Mr. Guo's educational policy.

In order to win over people's hearts and consolidate their basic foundation and cultivate loyal fans, the Cao family, the Xiahou family and the Guo family received the education of the royal elite together.

Mr. Guo will never allow the idle and ignorant second-generation children under his rule.

Therefore, the children of the Guo family, Xiahou family and Cao family were very busy and miserable in their childhood, and Cao Zhi was naturally no exception.

Although he has shown his extraordinary talent and romantic atmosphere in poetry and essays since childhood, under Guo Peng's practical educational guidance, this type of thing is regarded as a path to relaxing amateurs and is not enough to be a symbol of talent.

It is useless to be able to write poems, songs, and essays. It can only be said that it adds a little joy to your family during festivals. What can really make face for your family is the exam score.

So when these children of the families are gathered together during the festival and the festival, it is when parents of the families compete with each other for their children’s scores.

Guo Peng did not stop this, but instead contributed to the fire.

There are not many ways to make these senior officials and nobles pay attention to their children’s studies, and face is the best way.

This way of comparison allows them to pay attention to their children's studies for their own sake. Although the starting point is not good, it objectively plays a role in forcing their children to study hard.

For example, Guo Jia and Cao Cao often compare the results between Guo Jia's sons Guo Yi and Cao Zhi.

Guo Peng is very happy to see such a dispute over face.

Although not very friendly to these second-generation children-

But being able to make them live in luxury is the greatest gentleness. What else do you want?

Go and study honestly!

In this case, everyone accepts the same basic education, and is subject to strict supervision and strict assessment, so it is easy to judge who is really excellent.

Cao Zhi has always surpassed the second generation and became the real number one in everyone's mind.

In fact, this is not Cao Cao's credit at all. At most, Cao Cao would ask about his exam results from time to time.

Cao Cao had no time to discipline his children. Just like Guo Peng, he also entrusted his children to his wife.

Mrs. Ding and Cao Lan are really serious about teaching children, and they are both fathers and mothers, and they have to sing red and black.

Whenever Cao Zhi wanted to recite poems and essays instead of studying hard, Mrs. Ding got angry. When Mrs. Ding got angry, the life of the Cao brothers was difficult.

Starting from Cao Ang, to Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang and Cao Xiong, and to Cao Chong, who was still young, none of them were strictly controlled by Mrs. Ding.

With such a strict mother's discipline, the basic grades of the Cao family's brothers are not much worse.

Cao Zhi's articles are really good. He can write strategies and arguments in parallel. They not only have political value, but also literary value, which made the reviewers amazed and gave them high scores.

All of this reveals his extraordinary talent.

As for whether this kind of talent is needed for governing the country, it is hard to say.

There are many people who have literary talent and talent in governing the country, but Cao Zhi's personality needs to be polished.

As far as Guo Peng knows, Cao Zhi has shown his extreme disdain for the exam results more than once and his disgust for the exam. He has repeatedly criticized such things, feeling that this kind of thing has bound him and made him very unhappy.

But his test scores were pretty good, so no one said anything.

Of course, it doesn't matter if he says this. His father is the queen's brother and the chief minister of the cabinet. He can live a life of lying down without worrying about food and clothing without worrying about anything.

But Guo Peng doesn't like his personality very much.

The reason why the battle between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi failed in another time and space was that Cao Zhi's temperament made trouble.

Everyone has a small personality. The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. However, smart people know what occasions can be indulged in what occasions and what occasions can be indulged in what occasions, and what occasions can make the small personality must be dignified and rigorous.

Does Cao Pi have no personality?

Yes, I like to hunt to a certain extent, so Cui Yan would warn Cao Pi not to miss the matter because of hunting.

Cao Pi talked back at first, but later when someone told him, he immediately reflected on him, burned all his hunting tools, and expressed his attitude in public.

This proves that Cao Pi knows the priorities and will not be arbitrarily. He is willing and able to suppress his desires for the sake of serious business.

This is the quality that a qualified superior should possess.

On the other hand, Cao Zhi didn't. He was just not allowed to be unrestrained in normal work. He was drunk when doing serious business and did not listen to others' dissuasion, and put his hobbies and desires above the serious business.

This is not a quality that a qualified superior can possess.

The pros and cons of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi can be seen at a glance.

No matter how good your literary talent is, it is useless to the country. What you need most in a great struggle is administrative and military talents, rather than the talent of chanting poetry and fu.

Even with the ability to recite poems and essays, Guo Peng also had a shameless literati like Chen Lin, and Cao Zhi was still noble and did not tempt the power.

If he were not Cao Cao's son, he would definitely be the next Ni Heng.

If Cao Zhi had such a personality, he would probably have been willing to be inferior to him and be the predecessor.

Therefore, Guo Peng did not have much expectations for Cao Zhi, as long as he was competent as a county prefect.

If his personality cannot be polished and his personal desires are put on official business, it will not be of great use. It is better for him to honestly recite poems and essays and keep them in history.

Well, there should be no chance for Seven Steps Poetry.

After feeling inexplicably disappointed with the top two, Guo Peng asked the third place again.

The third place was named Jiang Wan from Lingling County, Jingzhou, with a score of 285, and the same score as Guo Jun.

The name Jiang Wan sounds much more comfortable than Ma Su and Cao Zhi.

Because Jiang Wan became Zhuge Liang's de facto heir, one of the four prime ministers of Shu Han, and he did a good job.

If you train more, you will be an administrative talent in the future.

Later, Guo Peng asked about the current top ten and learned that there was only one student who was not a scholar from the top ten, that is, Cao Zhi.

The remaining nine are all scholars.

Among them, most of them are scholars in Jingzhou.

Ma Su's brother, Ma Liang, from Xiangyang, and Liao Li, from Wuling County, Jingzhou, etc.

There are also scholars from other prefectures and counties, such as Wang Ji, a native of Donglai County, Qingzhou, Sima Zhi, a native of Wen County, Hanoi County, etc., but more scholars from Jingzhou were born in Jingzhou, and the rankings were ranked in the top 50, and Jingzhou scholars accounted for the majority.

It seems that the stability of Jingzhou and the existence of the Xueye Hall during the Liu Biao period laid a solid foundation for the scholars in Jingzhou.

Even if Guo Peng used the ritual of the great scholars of the Northern Heritage who lived in Jingzhou back, there were still many excellent scholars in Jingzhou.

Only relative peace and stability can develop relatively good education, and only good education can cultivate good talents.

From this point of view, Liu Bei can successfully raise the administrative team of Jingzhou people in the Shu Han regime, and he also needs to thank Liu Biao for his training.

Without Liu Biao's attention to education for more than ten years, after Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou, he could not take away so many talents in Jingzhou, such as Zhuge, Ma, Xiang, Pang, etc.

These outstanding talents are counted as one, and they all grew up and received education during the Liu Biao period. The existence of the academic hall is also an indispensable part of their teaching career.
