Zhang Rang really wants to die... If you think about it with your toes, you know, in the future... How will Cao Jie treat him? Will you watch out for him everywhere? Want to find such a good opportunity to overthrow Cao Jie again? It's hard to climb!

Zhang Rang looked confused, annoyed, and ashamed...

Liu Hong's eyes opened, he stopped his abacus, and turned his head to look at Cao Jie.

"Don't take a concubine as a wife. Well, yes, the Cao family should not be connected. Liu Hong groaned and nodded. When I was a child, my mother always told me, and if I listened to it, it was clear, and if I listened to it, I heard it darkly... Unexpectedly, because of Zhang Changshou's nonsense, I almost wronged Cao Dachangqiu... Cao Dachangqiu handled it impartially and handled the case according to the law, and it was indeed my humerus. ”

After saying that, Liu Hong felt a touch of guilt in his heart.

Truth be told, all these years... Cao Jie helped him a lot, his relatives were disobedient, Cao Jie became a relative, the scholars made trouble, and Cao Jie killed the scholars... If it weren't for this Da Changqiu, how could he, Liu Hong, be able to play in Xiyuan so leisurely... A naked tour hall and a shopping street have also been built!

Thinking of this, Liu Hong glared at Zhang Rang. "Zhang Changshi, do you know what is wrong?" At this time, Liu Hong no longer called Zhang Rang "Father!" It is somewhat meaningful from the title alone.

"Wrong... Wrong... The sinner Zhang let him know his mistakes. Zhang Rang hurriedly knelt down, like a chicken pecking rice, and his head kept hitting the ground.

"Go and take the rod yourself." Liu Hong commanded in a low voice, and then looked back at the abacus...

"Whew... "Zhang Rang resigned himself and stood up... I'm going to leave.

But at this moment, "Your Majesty." As soon as Cao Jie arched his hand, he first glanced at Zhang Rang, and then spoke. I heard that His Majesty's Xiyuan Market can't collect rent... According to the old slave's humble opinion, it is related to Zhang Changshi's management strategy. ”

“… The so-called 'don't take a concubine as a wife'... The concubine cannot override the position of the wife, which is equivalent to... The relationship between these tenants and His Majesty. They are tenants, and Your Majesty is the master... Let's ask, how can any tenant dare to use the rent to blackmail the owner, isn't this just a mess of the rules of doing business? ”

Stunned...

Zhang Rang was stunned, these words were like stingers, piercing into his heart, and it didn't hurt... But it's suffocating.

Liu Hong, the son of heaven, was also stunned... seems to be thinking about Cao Jie's words.

After a short silence.

"Good!" A good word came out of the mouth of Liu Hong, the son of heaven. "Cao Da Changqiu is right, wives are wives, concubines are concubines, tenants are tenants, masters are masters, they don't pay rent... I as the master? Why accommodate them? ”

Hahaha...

laughed out loud, it seems that from Cao Jie's sentence "Don't take a concubine as a wife", Liu Hong, the son of heaven, realized a new business experience. Everything related to business can make this genius dance and excited...

"Yes, yes! … The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and only Cao Dachangqiu could share his worries. Liu Hong smiled slightly, and immediately pointed to the West Garden. This West Garden will be handed over to Cao Dachangqiu for management in the future... Remember, I can't take less than I can pay rent! ”

"The old slave understands!" Cao Jie smiled slightly...

He was stunned... Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven's favorite place, is this West Garden, who is in charge of the West Garden... Whoever can always be by the side of the Son of Heaven and gain the favor of the Son of Heaven...

It was Empress Song who was in charge of this place before, and then Zhang Rang... Now, it's finally his turn to Cao Jie!

You know, compared to the punishment of Zhang Rang... seized the right to govern his West Garden, and hit him even harder! More intense!

Ha ha...

I can't think of it, I can't think of it, that little guy Cao Shuo's "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Valley Liang"... not only exempted the Cao family from the scourge, but also helped him Cao Jie... turned the crisis into safety, and dealt a heavy blow to Zhang Rang, an ambitious eunuch, killing two birds with one stone and killing two birds with one stone.

In an instant, Cao Shuo's little guy appeared in Cao Jie's mind again... He seems to like this little guy more.

……

"This—" Zhang Rang's brows furrowed tightly... Keep clenching your fists.

The Cao family and Cao Jie did not knock down... On the contrary, it was because of the sentence "Don't take a concubine as a wife" that he was punished by the Son of Heaven, and he also lost the right to govern Xiyuan...

Call... Call...

Gasping for air. Zhang Rang finally understood, what is called stealing chickens and rice!

"Damn...", his eyes tightened in vain..."Cao Jie, Cao family! This beam, our family has written it down! His lips twitched, and his heart was talking to himself.

But at this moment...

"Your Majesty," shouted from afar. The border is urgent! ”

……

……

Luoyang, Imperial Palace, Deyang Palace.

This palace is the largest palace in the entire imperial palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty, tall and majestic, it is said that Yanshi City, which is forty-three miles away from Luoyang, can be seen from afar The eaves of the Deyang Palace are connected with the sky...

Generally, the Son of Heaven will choose to hold it in the Chongde Hall of the South Palace, unless... There are 100,000 urgent events, and countless officials will be called to discuss in the Deyang Hall of the North Palace.

Exactly... The border is urgent, and Xianbei Kou is on the side... This can already be called a pivotal event in Dahan.

"Whew..."

A long gasp... The expression of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, was very ugly.

I don't blame him... Since his accession to the throne, the Xianbei people who have entrenched themselves in the north have welcomed... Twelve collective robbery activities have been organized in the winter south... Almost once a year... Never interrupted.

The key is that the border guards of Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou have long ceased to be the "Ming Emperor Dynasty" to the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu, restore the demeanor of the Western Regions, and even... Just three years ago, hundreds of thousands of troops attacked and returned defeated!

This year... Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, plucked up his courage and once again sent troops to invade the Xianbei realm.

"Your Majesty, the Xianbei Hu Cavalry is menacing... The border guards went deep into the enemy's territory, winning fewer and losing more..."Zhang Wen, who was the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang at the time, frowned..."Now, the entire border guard soldiers are still stationed in the Xianbei territory, their morale is low, and all the generals are looking forward to the orders and support of the imperial court..."

Support? Support your sister!

Liu Hong, the son of heaven, couldn't help but complain... Support? Support must not spend money to recruit troops? Don't spend money to build weapons and armor? Don't spend money to reward the three armies? To put it bluntly, ask for support... Seeking is money, glittering gold...

Although he has already started to sell knights... Liu Hong's private money has also saved a lot.

But Liu Hong, the extremely stingy son of heaven, has always been in the matter of "money", but he is reluctant to take out all his "small treasury"... Even if it's a war.

The consequence of this is... The border guards are very aggrieved, there is no support, and there are few supplies ...

The front-line generals complained one by one, and in order not to take the blame, they simply reported all military affairs to the imperial court, and let the imperial court make decisions. How do they fight? If they win, it is their credit, and if they lose, it is the pot of the imperial court.

In the eyes of these border generals, they are already very satisfied if they can save their lives and survive.

The initiative of the border guards some time ago ... Take offense as defense and go deep into the Xianbei realm... It's the decision of the imperial court, it's a pity... Return!

Right now...

In front of Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, a new decision must be made... Of course, this decision must also be both economical and affordable. Can't spend money... We still have to stabilize the situation at the front, what should I do?

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a good proposal?" Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, looked around at all the ministers... It's just that these ministers are eager to bury their heads in the cracks in the ground one by one... They have a lot of good advice, but alas... These suggestions come at a cost and cost a lot of money... It seems that it is not wise to preface the matter of "money" in front of this son of heaven.

Hiss... The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, speechless... The quiet atmosphere made the Son of Heaven Liu Hong sweat cold on his forehead.

"Manchu civil and military? Is there no one who can share my sorrows? Another sentence, Liu Hong's tone became cold... A little anger ensued.

Cao Jie stood on Liu Hong's side... As Shang Shuling, he is qualified to participate in the court meeting... Seeing this cold atmosphere, I couldn't help but shake my head, thinking in my heart... What kind of stuff are these bunches all about?

When the people are exploited and the money is received, the rabbits of Bitmew run fast, and when it comes to the critical time, not a single fart can be released... said that they were not even as good as eunuchs, and it was to exalt them.

"Your Majesty... The border guards are still waiting for a reply. ”

Zhang Wen, the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang, bowed his hand again: "Now the border guards have just suffered a big defeat, and they are still stationed in Xianbei... Without the orders of the imperial court, they did not dare to evacuate... To fight or to retreat? Your Majesty... Make a decision! ”

You have to make a decision early... Luoyang is far from the border, and the fastest horse has to run for ten days to get to... If the meeting drags on for a few more days, the front line will not be maintained... The border guards had to be served by Xianbei Huqi.

Liu Hong naturally knows that the stakes here are significant... But he didn't know what to do? The Manchu ministers were silent... The next step of the border guards turned out to be an unsolvable situation.

……

Hey...

Suddenly, Cao Jie thought of a conversation... A conversation when he questioned the little guy Cao Shuo.

Yao remembered that at that time, he asked Cao Shuo, the Tao, heaven, earth, general, law... And the little guy is a detailed interpretation of the story of Jin Wengong's retreat...

Think about it... This battle between Dahan and Xianbei has a bit of the flavor of Jin and Chu's confrontation...

Shout... Cao Jie carefully relived the little guy Cao Shuo's answer in his mind... Hey, Cao Shuo's reasoning... If you can't keep it, it can really be used on the border battlefield today.

Yes, that's right, the more I think about it, the more reliable Cao Jie feels... I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Not... Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, naturally noticed Cao Jie's smile, and he looked at Cao Jie with doubts. "Cao Da Changqiu, but there is a way to break the enemy?"

All the civil and military officials were stunned... Thinking in your heart, even if you are a great eunuch with power in the opposition? , but you know about the military? Still... What is the best way to break the enemy?

Didn't think about it? Cao Jie arched his hand. "Your Majesty, the old slave has a plan here."
