When Ma Teng arrived, he only saw Cao Ang's lonely figure standing in the early spring sun, and he didn't know why the originally warm sunshine was a little cold at this time.

"I've seen Uncle Ma." Cao Ang looked calm and bowed his hand to Ma Teng.

"......" After Ma Teng was silent for a while, he suddenly realized that he really didn't know what to say in the face of Cao Ang now.

"Have you seen Yunlu?" Ma Teng said with a sigh.

"See, I'm just a latecomer, Zhao Zilong is more suitable for her." Cao Ang's face showed a touch of loss, and there was a slight loneliness, but then he smiled heartily, "It's okay like this, it's always better than being disappointed later and missing for life." ”

After speaking, Cao Ang turned the horse's head and prepared to return to Chang'an, "Uncle Ma, don't chase her, Zhao Zilong is indeed a good match." ”

Ma Teng was silent, but after Cao Ang drove his horse back, he also seemed to have obeyed Cao Ang's words and chose to return to Chang'an, and a group of people surrounded Ma Teng and Cao Ang and returned to Chang'an.

Sima Yi saw Cao Ang returning to Chang'an surrounded by Ma Teng and his colleagues, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he had been clumsy before, and he underestimated the heroes of the world, and he didn't want Cao Ang to have such a heart.

Cao Ang has always appeared in front of Ma Teng as a junior before, although he appreciated it, but Ma Teng never really paid attention to it, and this time Cao Ang's performance after encountering this unexpected incident, whether it was calmly letting Ma Yunlu leave, or quickly packing up his mentality afterwards, or the intelligence revealed when Ma Teng changed the topic on the road, Ma Teng really began to pay attention.

Ma Yunlu's departure is more of a lost mulberry for Cao Ang, and a gain in the east. His original goal was not Ma Yunlu, and he invested his feelings in Ma Yunlu. It's just that there is a stable basis for the union of the two sides, and now there is a better way.

From the official road all the way to Chang'an. Ma Teng's perception of Cao Ang has completely changed.

Because of the appreciation of Cao Ang, a junior, it opened the door for Cao Ang to get to know his daughter, and then because his daughter turned away from him and Cao Ang, he chased Cao Ang alone, which was born of guilt.

In the end, it was because Cao Ang was decisive and decisive, and he was still able to clean up his mentality when he was sad, and he did not reveal the slightest of his own thoughts in front of others, coupled with the talent revealed between his words and conversations along the way, which completely conquered Ma Teng.

Originally, Ma Teng had the heart to fall to the Cao family. I don't want this to happen, my guilty heart is mixed with my respect for Cao Ang, Ma Teng finally made a decision, the Cao family has this person, and they will definitely prosper and compete for hegemony, not only for one generation, but for future generations.

Ma Teng naturally got off the donkey down the slope, although he did not give Cao Ang a clear answer. But Cao Ang, who seemed to have no ups and downs, already knew that he had succeeded.

[It's okay in this way, the position of the Cao family's patriarch in the empty place can also think about winning over another one. Cao Ang silently thought that from the very beginning, his goal was not Ma Yunlu, it was just his ladder to success.

[It seems that it is necessary to tie up Cao Ang. I didn't expect that. Sima Yi looked at Cao Ang's back and thought silently.

After Cao Ang returned to Cao's house, he was unexpectedly reprimanded by Cao Cao, and then asked him to repair books at home behind closed doors for a month, and Cao Ang also had a dispensable promise.

Just when Cao Ang walked out of the main hall of the Cao family. Cao Cao suddenly asked, "Have you been preparing all along?" ”

Cao Ang's foot paused slightly. Slowly retracted it, and then turned to look at Cao Cao. "Father, what does it mean to be prepared, and what is it called not to be prepared?"

Cao Cao looked at his eldest son, Cao Ang, who had been thinking that he had not grown up for so many years, couldn't help but look directly at him at this moment, maybe he hadn't cared about this eldest son before, but he was just demanding him.

"You've grown up." Cao Cao was silent for a while and then said, originally he was still thinking about whether to go back and talk to the Ding family about appeasing Cao Ang's concubine, but he didn't want to pay attention to the calm in Cao Ang's eyes.

Cao Ang suddenly sat down in the main hall and looked at Cao Cao, he felt that Cao Cao should have a lot to tell him.

"I'm amazed at how good you are." Cao Cao was silent for a long time and then said, "When did it happen?" ”

"Probably when I was imitating you." Cao Ang said with a smile on his face, his handsome face and tall figure compared to Cao Cao's five short figures, not only did not make Cao Cao feel embarrassed, but actually revealed a touch of relief.

"Sure enough, I have an excellent eye, and there are many times when I miss it." Cao Cao said with a smile, "Only by looking at the excellent growth of the heirs can I feel that I am aging." ”

"You are not yet old, at least my imitation is not yet blue, and until then you are still my sheltered home." Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao's expression and was silent for a long time, how long has it been, and when was the last time the father and son talked like this.

"What if I just asked casually before?" Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang majestically and said, "What if I'm cheating you?" ”

"Then it's time for a showdown." Cao Ang smiled and said, "Shelter under your wings will not be interfered with by wind and rain, but one day you will not be able to continue to shelter me, I am also growing, and there will be times when little tigers become big tigers." ”

Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang, who had already revealed that the newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger when he set up the five-color stick, "You are still far away, you are still a little tiger, you are at most a calf now!" ”

Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao proudly, he wanted to look directly at his father a long time ago, but when he could look at Cao Cao without fear, Cao Ang wanted to return to the original awe-inspiring mentality, he grew up, and his father was aging.

"Not bad." Cao Cao praised, even if it was Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan's fierce general couldn't help but want to turn his head when he looked at him.

"After a month of closed-door study, I went to Shangshu Mansion to learn from Zhong Yuanchang to deal with general affairs." Cao Cao signaled that Cao Ang could leave, and while his son's excellence made him happy, he couldn't help but wonder if he was old.

Cao Ang nodded, and then stepped back, he knew what Cao Cao wanted him to learn. It's not about government affairs, it's about making decisions. Cao Cao finally cultivated this excellent eldest son as an heir after noticing him, rather than conducting an investigation.

"I didn't expect that. Ding is probably very happy that this will be the case. Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang's back as he withdrew, a smile appeared on his face, as a father, watching his son grow into a helpless man who was aging was more likely to be relieved.

Compared with Cao Cao's relief when he learned that his eldest son was excellent, Liu Bei's side was about to turn the sky upside down, and the borrowing of troops for Li Dao and others had basically been determined, but how to persuade Liu Bei to borrow troops. and who to send as a watchdog has become a problem.

"Borrowing soldiers, borrowing soldiers, borrowing soldiers, it's easy to say, how to pass!" Liu Ye knocked on the table to refute Chen Xi's words, not that he didn't want to borrow it, but how to pass through Liu Bei.

"You can't borrow troops without going through Xuande Gong!" Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said with an unhappy expression, "And I don't think Daqin will be a fuel-efficient lamp!" ”

A look of solemnity flashed in Liu Ye's eyes. He suddenly found that there were two people present who could lend out the troops without Liu Bei, one was Chen Xi, who had the power to transfer troops, and the other Li You, if he adjusted the accounts left and right, it would be difficult for anyone to notice.

As soon as Chen Xi said this, he said. The audience was silent, and this group of people all noticed a problem, if Chen Xi and Li You joined forces. Troops can be transferred directly without anyone present, as well as anyone in the military. And you don't need someone to supervise it anywhere.

Li You's power is very mixed, but it is his core power. In fact, it was what the celebrant supervisor did in the late Ming Dynasty, because Liu Bei did not actually interfere in government affairs, and Chen Xi would remember to copy a copy to Liu Bei in order to show that he was not arbitrary.

That is to say, after Li You approves the transfer of money and grain, it can be issued when it is transferred to Chen Xi, but Chen Xi himself has the power to transfer troops, which leads to the fact that Chen Xi is the first to transfer troops and does not need to be responsible for anyone, and then transfers money and grain, and Li You approves it, and the money and grain soldiers are misappropriated.

"Suddenly we found that our functions are a little confused." Chen Xi also discovered his slip of the tongue, and then said with some curtle.

"That's how it was when it rose." Liu Ye was silent for a while and said, he also knew where Chen Xi's military power came from, as for Chen Xi's power in the regime, it didn't matter, Liu Ye also admitted that Chen Xi should be given enough power in the regime.

"In this way, let's divide the people into three parts, some people only formulate policies, some people review policies and can reject them, and the other part only implement policies." Chen Xi was silent for a while and then immediately said, "No one can get around this way." ”

"No, it's too slow." Li You pointed directly to the dead hole of the six-ministry system in the three provinces, there is no arbitrary power, or the review is only rejected for the sake of rejection, it will be fatal.

"In fact, if there is no military power, our current situation is actually very good, although Zichuan has the power to make arbitrary decisions, but most of the time the power of review and distribution is exchanged and balanced, which Zichuan got right at the earliest." Lu Su stood up and said a fair word.

In fact, it is not that Chen Xi and Li You in this group of people have too much power, but it is unfortunate that some of these people hold military power.

At the beginning, Chen Xi designed checks and balances when assigning government affairs, and the planner and reviewer are definitely not alone, only when the process is too slow, Chen Xi, as the top-level process designer, will reach out to intervene and carry out rapid implementation.

Therefore, Chen Xi is equivalent to the prime minister above the six ministries of the three provinces, and the main value is to return to Chen Xi when the process of the three provinces is too slow or controversial, and go through the process directly, or directly veto the process.

No one thinks there is a problem with this power, it should be so, high efficiency and strong execution are very important in troubled times, even if the checks and balances are very important, and there is a prime minister above the three princes of the Han Dynasty, there is nothing unaccustomed.

"Even if I want to return this military power, I don't have the ability." Chen Xi was silent for a while and then said, this military power is smashed into Chen Xi's hands, this is not Chen Xi left a hole card for himself, but Liu Bei left it to Chen Xi.

Not taking back the military power not only shows that he trusts Chen Xi, but also a guarantee for Chen Xi, if Liu Bei wants to take Chen Xi one day, then Chen Xi is not without the power to fight back, so it is impossible for Chen Xi to return this military power if he wants to return it.

Of course, Liu Bei, as a monitor of military power, actually does not need military talismans, and these things can be transferred with sword orders, which is Liu Bei's self-confidence, saying that any prince who can know all the generals above the commander of the army is not afraid of rebellion.

If this is the Son of Heaven, as long as he is willing, even if someone steals the tiger talisman, it will not make the slightest sense, it is so capricious, to this extent, he is a living talisman, and he is not afraid of any accidents at all.

Therefore, Chen Xi can indeed transfer troops, and he can transfer troops without notifying Liu Bei, but Chen Xi knows very well that his power to transfer troops is still supervised, and if the military power in his hand is originally his own ability, it is basically given to him by Liu Bei to ensure his safety.

Guarantee that one day, if he Liu Bei's brain is pumped to kill Chen Xi, the military power in Chen Xi's hands can protect Chen Xi's safety until Liu Bei calms down, or can protect Chen Xi's family to leave safely, although that day will never come.

Although Liu Bei also knew that Chen Zichuan, who was planning for a rainy day, definitely had his own hole cards, Liu Bei still gave Chen Xi this power, and trust this kind of thing also needs to be maintained.

"Hiss......" Everyone present took a deep breath, they were not stupid, Chen Xi had figured it out to this extent, how could they not know what it meant.

"Then let's expose this." Although Liu Ye doesn't like to play the role of the tenth person, an organization must have a high-level person who stands up as the tenth person.

"So you don't need to mention the military power, Xuande Gong will never take it back, this is the last layer of protection he gave me." Chen Xi was silent for a while and said, "Even if I talk to you, I can't talk about anything, I'll talk to Xuande, isn't it just borrowing soldiers!"

"Are you sure you want to tell Xuande Gong about these things?" Li You was silent for a while and said, "What if Xuan Degong, who has always felt good, suddenly finds that his efforts are just the beginning and retreats?" ”

"Then I will drag him to the right path, and besides, people are not all forced out, either others force you, or you force yourself, otherwise, no one present will have today's achievements." Chen Xi sneered and said, "Besides, Xuande Gong may not be!" ”

"Then it's up to you, if something happens, it's up to you to solve it, and besides, the 'heroism that you have made to us at the beginning', 'the courage to embrace all things', 'fairness and strictness, impartiality', 'drunk and lying in the country, awakening the world', 'brave, wise, diligent, open-minded, loving the people, what the ancient sages wanted, and now all the people want to get what they want' has not been done!" Li You suddenly laughed.

"Then let's do it together this time!" Jia Xu slowly got into his hands, "I am willing to believe in the lord, and I am willing to believe in Zichuan!" (To be continued.) )
