Sima Yi's spirits lifted,

The eagle first looked around,

Then he looked at Cao Cao and said:

"My lord, Mr. Zhongde's analysis is extremely true. If our army wants to gather strength as soon as possible, the only way to do this is to go east to Xuzhou, Xuzhou is far richer than Jizhou, and it is slightly inferior to Runan in Yuzhou, and after Tao Gongzu is old, it is not as upright as when he was young, and this is the time. ”

Cao Cao nodded, obviously a little moved.

Xun Yu finally couldn't help but speak:

"My lord, although Tao Xuzhou did not conclude an alliance with our army, he was genuinely friendly with our army, and this person's heart is towards the Han family.

Cao Cao said:

"What Wen Ruo said is extremely true, Tao Gongzu is a loyal and righteous person, and his heart is for the Han family, but we must not be treacherous."

After a pause, Cao Cao continued:

"And Xuzhou Chen Qi is not a good type, I don't believe they won't guard against me."

Although Cao Cao did not know,

But the people here are extremely smart,

Naturally, I heard the meaning of Cao Cao's words,

Cao Cao also tended to attack Xuzhou,

It's just that I don't have a suitable excuse.

In this matter,

A few people in the house,

All were agreed.

Cheng Yu spoke again:

"My lord, there is one more thing. A few days ago, Lu Bu played, and Ma Teng was the pastor of Liangzhou. ”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows when he heard this,

The triangular eyes squinted into a line,

The inside is shining,

"Fengxian, I'm not as good as you."

"My lord, but do you want to invite the emperor?"

Cheng Yu asked,

The performance is nothing but a good sound,

As long as Cao Cao decides,

The Emperor just announced,

Let him just make a decree.

Gently rubbing the beard under the chin,

Cao Cao did not express his position,

opened his mouth and asked Sima Yi:

"Zhongda, what do you think?"

Sima Yi's eagle eyes slowly narrowed,

"Lu Bu is now powerful, although our army has a son in hand, but in a short period of time, it can't quickly grow to the point where it can compete with the Yuan family or Lu Buci's behemoth, even if it is slightly inferior to Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, Liu Junlang in Yizhou. For today's plan, there is only temporary forbearance, which has been agreed upon by all the princes. What Lu Bu is asking for is nothing more than justification, and we can use it. A knife, for butchers, is used to slaughter chickens and dogs; In chivalry, you can fight the sword rivers and lakes; In generals, they can also set the country and secure the country. ”

After making a fuss,

Cao Cao's eyes lit up slightly,

looked at Sima Yi,

This guy is really not to be looked down upon. However, it is still a little immature.

Cao Cao sighed slightly in his heart.

The eyes of everyone present looking at Sima Yi also changed,

Sima Yi naturally discovered this situation,

A tightness in my heart for no reason,

His eyelids drooped, and he lowered his head,

Say no more.

Cao Cao smiled:

"Hahaha, that's great. You've all worked hard, and that's it for today, and I'll go into the palace to meet Your Majesty in a moment. ”

When the people heard this,

They got up and said goodbye and left,

Cao Cao did not retain,

The action of leaning on the collapse has not changed at all,

Triangle eyes staring at the backs of the three departing,

Especially stayed on Sima Zhongda's body for a long time.

After a few breaths,

Xu Chu, who was guarding outside the door, quietly closed the door,

This is the tacit understanding of their master and slave,

This means that the three of them have moved away from Sikong Mansion,

There is no idle heat near the room.

Cao Cao then spoke:

"Zixiu."

The voice fell,

A tall figure walked slowly from the inner chamber,

Boys and girls are handsome,

Heroic and restrained, with a gentle smile on his face.

came to Cao Cao's face,

Salute respectfully:

"Father!"

This person is Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang,

The biological mother Liu died early,

Raised by Ding,

Cao Ang has a calm personality and a calm personality,

The appearance is eight points similar to his biological mother,

Not as ugly as Cao Cao,

Loved by Cao Cao.

Looking at his beloved son, Cao Cao was very happy in his heart,

But his face deliberately pretended to be majestic:

"Did you hear it all clearly in the back?"

Cao Ang nodded and replied:

"Back to the father, the child can hear it clearly."

"So, if it's you, how do you deal with it?"

Cao Ang bowed slightly,

knew that Cao Cao would take the school exam,

When he hid in the inner room,

I pondered the countermeasures for a long time,

At this moment, without thinking, he said loudly:

"One: Your Majesty's side should be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, not too persecutive, although Your Majesty is young, but he already has a city, and he should not be taken lightly. However, now he is afraid of his father's might, so he can only do some ghostly tricks, and only need to keep an eye on Guozhang Fuwan, Shang Shuling Wang Yun, Wei General Dong Weitai, Yang Biao and others......"

At this point, Cao Ang suddenly stopped.

Cao Cao said lightly:

"Don't worry about it, go on."

"Wow. As for Sima Fang, the child suggested that his father spill this, which would be harmful to his father's reputation. ”

After saying this, Cao Ang bowed his head deeply.

A faint disappointment crossed Cao Cao's triangular eyes,

Opening:

"Wu'er. Fame is important, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, and the position of the father now, no matter how you do it, will be misunderstood and spurned by the world. If you want to transfer Sima Fang very easily, but then there will be other questions, think about it, and then answer me. ”

Cao Ang didn't look up,

After thinking about it carefully,

Only then did he speak:

"First, it will chill the likes of Sima Fang, which is not conducive to his father's recruitment of talents; Second, but there are still doubts about the Sima clan? ”

Cao Cao stroked his beard and chuckled:

"I'm smart. That's right, although this is a gold-lettered signboard in Xu County now, but my Cao family is still a little weaker than the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, Lu Fengxian under the famous Zhen, and the three old dogs of the royal family. And at this moment, a considerable number of them are staunch royalists, but in this part, there are a few people who are as pedant as Wen Ruo, most of them are those who sell their fame and reputation, and those who can really be used by me are still the majority of Han scholars, I think back then, Zhicai suggested that I recruit talents in an eclectic way, and I think so, but everything has pros and cons, although these talents are quite talented people, but in terms of character, there are a considerable number of deficiencies, when the father is there, they dare not act rashly, so they seem to Sima Fang and others, Not only use it for the father, but also show sincerity, then the poor can return to the heart. The second point is that the Sima clan is deeply rooted and almost comes from the whole clan, how can they really be so simple and completely defect to me? In front of them, even if they make some movements, they are within the controllable range, but once they are far away, the father is not completely sure. Didn't you hear what Sima Zhongda just said? ”

Cao Ang nodded and said:

"This son is well versed in forbearance, and he is not a man who is willing to give in."

Cao Cao nodded:

"Go on."

"It is a good policy to go east to Xuzhou, although it cannot be implemented now, but my father can send someone close to him to contact him. Tao Gongzu is old, his son is overwhelmed, and there are many wealthy families in Xuzhou who are ready to move, and this is also our opportunity. ”

"Well, I'm free to arrange this. 1. Lu Bu played Ma Teng as the pastor of Liangzhou. ”

Cao Ang moistened his lips and continued:

"Father can agree to come down, and add Lu Bu as the general of the chariot cavalry, and at the same time worship Yuan Shao as the general of the hussars, and allow the opening of the mansion!"

"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao looked up and smiled,

Stood up and walked to Cao Ang's side,

patted Aiko's shoulder vigorously and said with relief:

"My son has really grown up, and my heart is very relieved! The two of them were sealed respectively, and they were only one step away from the general, with Yuan Shao's personality, he would definitely not be able to sit still, as long as he couldn't sit still, he would be able to sit firmly as a father. Now that the general's name is just a false name, what's the point of giving it to them, being able to see the two tigers fighting each other is the ultimate goal. However, just the two of them are not enough, when Dong Zhuo was in trouble in the past, Li Ru once offered a plan, and we can also follow suit. ”

When Cao Ang heard this, his eyes lit up again,

A knowing smile appeared on his face.

Cao Cao sat back on top of the collapse again,

Changed the subject:

"Zixiu, after a while, you will be promoted to Chen Liujun filial piety, both you and An Min, go to your uncle to have a good experience, I have already said hello, you two need to start from the bottom, when can you become a school captain, when will your father recall you two, don't let your father down!"

The joy on Cao Ang's face was even stronger,

He's been waiting for this for a long time,

As Cao Cao's eldest son,

He always wants to prove himself,

But Cao Cao deliberately suppressed him,

Cao Ang himself understands very well,

My father wanted to train himself better in this way.

But young people who do not desire to fight on the battlefield,

Now that I've finally got this opportunity,

Although Cao Cao only let him start from the grassroots level,

But that's exactly what he wants,

So I was very excited.

With a wave of his hand, Cao Cao then spoke:

"Okay, Zixiu, go down. For the father, he wants to go to the palace. ”

"Yes, the child is gone."

Cao Cao walked in the palace in official uniforms,

The burly Xu Chu who followed closely behind him,

Head straight to the palace gardens where His Majesty the Emperor is located.

Everywhere you go,

The guards and eunuchs and palace maids I met,

All of them knelt down in fear to greet him,

Cao Cao didn't have any response to them,

When I came to the palace garden,

His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress were already waiting at the door.

Before Cao Cao saluted,

Emperor Han Xian had already spoken first:

"Cao Sikong, I don't know what happened to Aiqing?"

Cao Cao looked up at the two of them,

The dragon robe on Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is wrinkled everywhere,

Seeing Cao Cao looking over,

Unconsciously bowed his head and secretly tidied up,

Queen Fu beside her is even more messy,

A face full of redness,

Seeing this, he lowered his head shyly.

Seeing this, Cao Cao was unimpressed,

Xu Chu behind him couldn't help but sneer,

Cao Cao shouted angrily in a low voice:

"Presumptuous! Get the hell out of here! ”

Xu Chu saw Cao Cao angry,

hurriedly confessed and turned away,

Before leaving, he glanced disdainfully at His Majesty the Emperor, who was self-conscious.

Cao Cao hurriedly saluted respectfully and said:

"Cao Cao meets my emperor, queen!"

Emperor Han Xian hurriedly stepped forward to personally help Cao Cao and said:

"Aiqing is flat."

Cao Cao still couldn't afford it, and continued:

"The subordinates don't understand the rules, and I ask Your Majesty to condemn them."

Emperor Han Xian snorted,

It's okay to keep silent,

With a little force in his hands,

Only then did Cao Cao finally help him up.

Empress Fu hurried away after seeing the ceremony,

Only the two of them remained in the garden to discuss.

"Aiqing wants me to allow Ma Teng to serve as the pastor of Liangzhou?"

"Exactly. Ma Teng is a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, and has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion in Liangzhou, and he should also be appointed as the pastor of Liangzhou. ”

Emperor Han Xian pondered for a while, nodded and said:

"Cao Aiqing is very reasonable, since you think this matter is appropriate, then I will draft the purpose. Li Ting! ”

"The minions are here!"

The eunuch hurriedly ran over,

Emperor Han Xian was about to open his mouth to order,

Cao Cao then spoke:

"Your Majesty."

Emperor Han Xian raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Oh? What else is going on with Aiqing? ”

"Wenhou Lü Bulu first quelled the Dangqiang rebellion, and recovered Hexi and Hetao; Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Yuan Benchu put down the rebellion of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou; Sun Jian and Sun Wentai of Wujun quelled the Shanyue rebellion in the south; There is also Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who have made meritorious contributions to the extermination of bandits; The emperor's uncle Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng also suppressed the Shanyue rebellion, and sent troops to intimidate the national thief Yuan Highway. These people need to be rewarded by His Majesty, so that their descendants can thank His Majesty for his kindness! ”

Emperor Han Xian's brows wrinkled quietly unconsciously,

Cao Cao, who kept bowing his head, didn't find it,

Emperor Han Xian took a deep breath and said:

"Aiqing is extremely good. So in Aiqing's opinion, how to reward it? ”

Cao Cao still maintained a bowed posture and said:

"Your Majesty, when Lu Bu is the general of the chariot and cavalry, he will be crowned with 800 households; named Yuan Shao as a hussar general; worship Sun Jian as a former general; worship Liu Bei as the general of Fenwei; Worship Liu Biao as Zongzheng. ”

Emperor Han Xian was a little displeased,

Although his face remained as calm as possible,

But the corners of his mouth kept twitching,

He didn't care about Cao Cao's other rewards before,

After all, people are now under the eaves,

Although nominally he is the Ninety-Five Supreme,

But the actual people in power,

Everybody knows it,

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was also free to do as he pleased.

He's just waiting for an opportunity.

However, I didn't expect Cao Cao to intervene in Zongzheng now,

From the Qin to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the court was in charge of the emperor's relatives or relatives.

Qin Zhi, a relative of the royal family.

The Western Han Dynasty is one of the nine Qings.

In the first four years of Emperor Ping of Han (4 AD), he changed his name to Zongbo.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was renamed Zongzheng.

His job was to keep the register of the royal family.

Distinguish their status as concubines or their kinship with the emperor in blood,

Every year, the genealogy of the princes with the same surname is discharged.

According to the provisions of the eight-council system of the Han Dynasty,

If the relatives of the clan are guilty, please first,

That is, to make a statement to Zongzheng first,

Zongzheng reported to the emperor again,

After that, it can be dealt with lightly.

The king with the same surname broke the law,

Zongzheng can also participate in the preliminary trial,

For example, in the Western Han Dynasty, the king of Hengshan and the king of Jiangdu were guilty,

The emperor had sent Zongzheng to work with other officials to take on these cases.

Yes, although Zongzheng is only Jiuqing,

The status is not as good as the three princes and the generals who hold real power,

But he is a minister of the Liu clan,

Who will hold the position has always been a matter within the royal family,

Cao Cao's move was really excessive.
