Nine hundred and ninety-seven The Cao clan cannot be defined as a threat by Guo Peng
What Cheng Yu said sounded to Cao Cao as a terrible talisman.
What are you kidding, if Cao Cao really has such thoughts and actions, once Guo Peng knows about it, will the Cao family still carry it forward?
Many children of the Cao family have followed Guo Peng for decades, throwing their heads and spilling their blood to fight desperately, in order to make the family prosperous, but they were implicated because of ugly things like "rebellion".
This is absolutely impossible to happen!
Cheng Yu also knows that this matter can't be joked.
Among the many clansmen of the Cao family, Cao Ren, Cao Xiu, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun all served in the army, and they all led soldiers outside, and they were all figures with military power in their hands.
Although it is said that after the restructuring of the army, the generals basically have no military power, but the prestige is still there, and the imperial court will not be less afraid of the generals who lead the troops.
Guo Peng is the emperor immediately, and his prestige is enough to make anyone dare not move.
But his son doesn't necessarily have one.
The Wei army listened to Guo Peng, as long as Guo Peng lived, the prestige of any general in the army would be in the back row, so no one could shake his position.
But what if he dies?
After his death, does Guo Jin have the prestige to surpass the generals in the army and convince the army?
Will the generals in the army continue to be convinced?
The Wei army's military system and rotational garrison system itself was to curb the spread of the private power of the generals in the army and ensure the emperor's control over the army.
There are so many things that cannot be predicted.
It is impossible for Guo Peng not to know this, so for the sake of the stable inheritance of imperial power and the smooth inheritance of military power, before Guo Peng anticipates that his limit is approaching, any existence that may threaten Guo Jin will be swept away by Guo Peng.
Therefore, Cao Cao deeply understood that the Cao family could not be defined as a threat by Guo Peng, otherwise the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Cao family would not be able to live longer than Guo Peng.
Even if Cao Lan is the queen, even if Guo Jin has the blood of the Cao family, it usually seems that this is the reason why he Cao Mengde is undefeated in the golden body, but under special circumstances, this will become a life talisman.
Cao Cao clearly knew that the Cao family had an advantage in this regard, but this advantage was also the biggest life of the Cao family.
And in every sense, Cao is motivated by this.
Thinking in terms of conspiracy theories, the crown prince Guo Jin has the blood of the Cao family, and after Guo Jin ascends the throne, he will inevitably reuse the Cao family, and if the Cao family wants to go to the next level, supporting Guo Jin is the best way.
But all this must be based on Guo Jin's smooth accession to the throne, and before that, as long as Guo Peng still sits on the throne for a day, nothing can change.
Otherwise, Cao Cao is really not the only one who will be unlucky.
Therefore, Cao Cao was very sensible and rarely had any contact with the generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan who commanded the troops abroad, and never participated in anything related to military affairs, unless Guo Peng ordered him to participate.
In order to ensure the safety of the Cao family, Cao Cao did his part, which shows how much Cao Cao cares about this kind of thing, but the meaning of Cheng Yu's words made Cao Cao break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing Cao Cao's cold sweat, Cheng Yu also realized that such a thing could not be talked about, so he shook his head.
"Meng De, I'm not asking you to do this, I want you to know that you have such an advantage, even if you don't use it, others will be jealous of you, and someone will slap you, you have to make full use of your power, now Tian Yuanhao is pulling Qiao Rui, isn't the meaning obvious enough?"
Cao Cao knew what Cheng Yu meant, and Cheng Yu just thought that Tian Feng was doing this to target him Cao Mengde himself.
Cao Mengde has the power to audit and examine economic issues, and in a certain sense, it has a tremendous lethal effect on the major departments of Shangshutai, which are responsible for using public funds to do things.
And the Yushitai, which is specifically responsible for the impeachment of lawless officials, also has a huge deterrent effect on Shangshutai.
The state system designed by Guo Peng makes Shang Shutai at the bottom of the food chain in every sense, pitiful, although he has the greatest power, but the cabinet and the imperial history platform can pinch it casually.
If the rulers of Shangshutai want to use their power smoothly, they cannot avoid dealing with the cabinet and the imperial history.
If you have a relationship in the cabinet or Shangshutai, it would be the best.
Although it is very difficult, it is not impossible, and Guo Peng has not explicitly banned it, since the emperor does not prohibit it, it means that it can.
Obviously, Cheng Yu found a relational named Cao Cao, and Tian Feng also followed closely behind to find a relational of Yushitai.
And if you have to say it, Yushitai's deterrence of Shangshutai may be a little greater.
Cao Cao could only attack officials on economic issues, and he had no law enforcement power and could not directly crack down, but Yushitai could impeach officials on various issues.
Even if an official says anything discordant, loses his honor in front of the palace, or has any problems in his life style, he can directly impeach Guo Peng.
For example, Guo Jia was repeatedly impeached by Yushitai because of his life style, saying that he was frivolous and did not follow etiquette, which really lost the dignity of a high-ranking official in the empire, and wanted to impeach him.
Cao Cao himself was impeached by the Imperial Observatory.
Because he was too lascivious, there were too many wives and concubines in the family, much more than the emperor, and later the wives and concubines in the family were jealous, causing a scandal, which made Cao Cao impeached.
Not only that, Cao Cao was also impeached for giving concubines to Guo Jia to each other, saying that the impact was very bad and so on.
So the relationship between Cao Cao and Yu Shitai is really not good, how does Guo Hong see how Cao Cao is not pleasing to the eye.
Anyway, if the Imperial Observatory wants to impeach officials, as long as the evidence is conclusive, it can be done, no matter how small the problem is, as long as it is a problem, as long as the Imperial Observatory wants to impeach, you can't escape.
Cheng Yu has never had anything to do with Qiao Rui, nor does he have anything to do with Guo Hong, so he didn't think of his relationship with Yushitai Lala for the first time.
As a result, Tian Feng has now seized the opportunity, and with the help of Yushitai, he suddenly reversed the situation that was originally very beneficial to Cheng Yu, which made Cheng Yu very dissatisfied.
"No matter what, we have to do this thing, Tian Yuanhao is threatening you and me, if you and I don't work together, how can we fight against Tian Yuanhao? Not to mention that Tian Yuanhao has now united with Qiao Rui and recruited Shangshutai as a helper, which is even more unfavorable to us! ”
After going back and forth, Cao Cao felt that it was necessary for him to join forces with Cheng Yu.
Although it is said that being impeached by Yushitai on the issue of life style can also be regarded as a self-stain in a sense, which makes Guo Peng not worry about him so much, but he is still very unhappy.
Guo Hong, the old guy, relied on his age, relied on the old and sold the old, and often pointed fingers at Cao Cao's private life, which also made Cao Cao very unhappy.
What does it have to do with you when I take a concubine? It's not your daughter!
Playing with a woman has to be criticized by you, do you really think you are invincible in the world?
In the case of tension, if Tian Feng is not defeated, he will be impeached, and if he loses his position, the Cao family will have no one in the center.
Cao Ang did a good job in serving as the county commander, and now he has been transferred to Liaodong to be the county guard, and the twenty-eight-year-old county guard is considered to be rising step by step, and he is also the top young in the country.
But don't expect to come back and take over Lao Tzu's power in two or three years.
The second son, Cao Pi, is only eighteen years old, and he has not yet been officially crowned, let alone can share something for the Cao family.
The other clansmen are in the army and fighting outside, and Cao Cao really doesn't have any relatives around him who can come in handy.
Thinking like this, Cao Cao decided to crown Cao Pi early, let him enter the court as an official as soon as possible, and begin to accumulate qualifications and popularity, which can help Cao Ang gain a firm foothold in the court in the future.
Cao Cao felt that his idea was very good.
So at the beginning of February of the fourth year of Yande, Cao Cao personally crowned Cao Pi, named him Zihuan, and then personally took Cao Pi into the palace to meet Guo Peng.
