The ministers gathered at the gate of the palace, however, their faces were not very good, some angry, several gathered together, I don't know what they were talking about, they were discussing, a carriage stopped not far away, Situ Cao Cao walked down from the carriage, swaggering, triumphant, the ministers were even more angry, but they were helpless, they all turned their heads away, no longer looked at him, Cao Cao was probably the second Situ who was disgusted by everyone.

Cao Cao didn't pay attention to their rudeness at all, seeing that everyone pretended not to see him, Cao Cao didn't pay attention to them, searched in the crowd for a while, and found the person he wanted to find, obviously, that person also saw him, Si Nong Liu Bei, saw Cao Cao walking towards him, smiled and went up, Cao Cao held his hand affectionately, and asked with a smile: "Hahaha, Xuande, I haven't seen you for a long time, but are you okay??" ”

The two have been friends for many years, since they held official positions in Ningzhou, the two have known each other, until now, the relationship between the two is still very good, Liu Bei is also looking at Cao Cao in front of him, Cao Cao seems to have become darker after going to Guishuang, the original Cao Cao, can not fade the atmosphere of a ranger, now Cao Cao, it seems, more restrained, like an old peasant.

"I was looking forward to it day and night, and finally waited for Cao Gong to come! It's really good..."Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh, Cao Cao asked in surprise: "Oh? I don't know that Xuande misses me so much? ”

"Cao Gong doesn't know, now I'm carrying the name of a cool official, Cao Gong is not here, these ministers have come to scold me, and now that Cao Gong has arrived, I will naturally be able to get out..."

"Hahaha! Reasonable! Reasonable! ”

The ministers gathered, watching Cao Cao and Liu Bei talking, they couldn't help but curse in a low voice, most of them were some unpleasant words, in the temple, there were such villains colluding, which also made the sages very worried, there are so many virtuous people in the country, how could it be the turn of such a villain to command hundreds of officials? The sages sighed, but they had to follow behind Cao Cao and walk towards the main hall.

Yuan Shao has always been standing aside, and there are a few people standing next to him, facing his old friend Cao Cao, but he doesn't have any intention of greeting him, speaking of which, for Cao Cao as Situ, he is not very happy in his heart, this Cao Apu, since he was a child, has been following him, among the three people who are rampant in Luoyang, it is also the second, and now he is climbing on his head and serving as Situ.

Although the three dukes can't say who is higher and who is lower, everyone knows that at least when they enter the main hall, it is Situ who enters with the ministers, not Sikong.

Walking into the hall with the ministers, Cao Cao was extraordinarily calm, if it was a few years ago, he might have turned his head at this time, looked at the ministers behind him with contempt, and laughed insolently under their angry gaze, but now he won't, he is already a father of five children, in his mind, he is still thinking, he is bent on implementing the new policy, realizing his revenge, finally there is such a day, and his current status is enough for him to exert everything.

At times like these, he prefers to focus more on politics than to fight with the fools behind him.

Entering the main hall, Cao Cao sat in the first place, and the ministers sat down one after another, waiting for the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven walked into the main hall, sat on the upper seat, accepted the courtiers' visits, looked at the courtiers below, for some reason, the Son of Heaven felt a little bitter in his heart, he had been on the throne for twenty years, these years, the people in the hall, how many they sent away, and how many they ushered in, sooner or later, he would leave like them, the Son of Heaven thought, but his face did not change at all, he said:

"Cao Gong can come to the temple, it is Lu Gong's last wish! After the court meeting is over, Cao Gong can go to worship! ”

"Respectfully!"

"Can the ministers play?"

"Your Majesty!!" Dahonglu Zhao Wen stood up tremblingly, his face was red, even his gray beard was trembling, the Son of Heaven was a little strange, Zhao Wen has always been a kind person, and he has a very good stroke in the court, who made him angry like this? ? Everyone was also a little strange, Zhao Wen looked at the Son of Heaven, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Shangshu Ling Guo Jia!! ”

"Oh? What did he do? ”

The Son of Heaven smelled it, and looked at Guo Jia on the side, in the face of Da Honglu's impeachment, Guo Jia didn't care at all, and didn't even look at Zhao Wen, Zhao Wen said angrily: "He dared to withhold the temple's reward for the kings of the north!" All the seven ships that were supposed to go to Ningzhou by water were all detained by him!! There is no king's law, there is no king's law! Zhao Wen said angrily, trembling with anger.

The Son of Heaven frowned, how could Guo Jia do such a thing, logically speaking, this is completely incompatible with his position, not to mention that this will damage the face of the temple, he looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia slowly got up, and said: "Your Majesty, the tributary system is not right, the return gift is too heavy, I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it... Therefore, as for the specific return gift, I will handle it! Guo Jia said, but Zhao Wen was speechless with anger.

Pointing to Guo Jia in front of him, this honest man blushed, thought for a long time, and then held back a "shaft", he said: "This tributary matter is under the jurisdiction of my Dahonglu, what does it have to do with your Shangshutai??" You don't even tell Your Majesty, you have to do your own thing, you... You... Inappropriate people!! Looking at the big Honglu in front of him, the Son of Heaven helplessly comforted: "Zhao Gong, don't worry, this matter should be dealt with!" ”

Zhao Wen calmed down at this time, and the Son of Heaven was also afraid that the old man would faint in the court meeting by Guo Jia.

"As for you, Fengxiao, since you said that the tributary system is unreasonable, then give me a reasonable one... I can only act if I agree... You behave like this, you simply don't take Da Honglu in your eyes!! If there is a next time, I will not forgive!! The Son of Heaven said very seriously, but the cover in his words, the ministers could still hear it, this guy was so reckless, the Son of Heaven just warned him, and there was no next time???

Guo Jia nodded and sat back in his place.

"Your Majesty.." Cao Cao stood up, the eyes of the ministers were staring at him at once, the new Situ, Cao Cao looked at the Son of Heaven, and said seriously: "The ministers returned to Luoyang from Guishuang this time, and there are three points on the way, which should be solved!" If you don't understand these three things, there will be chaos in the future! Hearing Cao Cao say so seriously, everyone couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and the Son of Heaven was not very happy.

As we all know, today he doesn't like to hear this, and he wants to hear the good news and prosperity along the way.

Cao Cao said: "One, for the people to live also, the minister and the Western Court, the county people are mixed, rest in Guishan, the Qiang people in the Western Regions, the customs and language are different, so many separated, after the minister took office, so that the people migrated and lived together, although there were some twists and turns, but this is a long-term way, and the minister passed through many boundaries in Liangzhou, Xizhou, rushed to the division, the road, the people are separated, so that the Qiang speakers, Xiongnu speakers, Chinese speakers, live in different places... It's not right! ”

"It is not appropriate to say in detail that the people should be mixed together and mixed together, and it is not appropriate to talk about the great interests of the country!"

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, the ministers fell into a discussion, and the temple was particularly noisy, Cao Cao looked at the ministers with some displeasure, and said: "I haven't finished speaking, the ministers can't speak!" The ministers widened their eyes and looked at Cao Cao, a little dazed, and didn't let them speak?? Even if the Son of Heaven doesn't say that the minister is not allowed to negotiate, how dare you Cao Mengde do this? ?

"Where's the Captain?!"

"The minister is here!"

"If there is any more noisy temple, those who ignore the Son of Heaven will be killed with a rod!"

"Respectfully!"

The temple fell into silence completely, Cao Cao looked at the Son of Heaven and continued to speak: "This matter, the second, is the matter of the officials, the local officials are so arrogant, although they do not oppress the people, but they speak badly, do not speak kindly, and scold... The governor of the county is not like this, but he is the little officials in the local pavilion, and he is often unbeatable, and he is not kind to the people.... Peace is good, but if there are such officials in times of disaster, wouldn't it force the people to kill officials and rebel??? ”

"Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty will issue an order and ask the officials of all counties and counties to strictly investigate this matter and strictly prohibit such behavior."

"The third is the matter of livestock, the temple lords may know that there are officials under the command of Si Nong, who are called veterinarians to treat horse diseases... In Liangzhou, I saw more than 200 ploughing cattle dying of illness and could not eat, so they had to be discarded... I also hope that Your Majesty will allow you to set up veterinarians in each county to treat the diseases of livestock! ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at the Son of Heaven and waited for the reply of the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven did not reply, but looked at the ministers and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"No!!"

"No!!"

The ministers objected, Yuan Shao was the first to get up, looked at Cao Cao, and said: "The matter of mixed living is okay, in this way, it is indeed able to eliminate the estrangement, and it is also very beneficial to the implementation of Yayan, a hundred years later, everyone is Yayan, it is a great benefit to the country and the people, and the veterinarian can also be, livestock is the weight of the people, if it is a veterinarian, it is a good thing for the people, but this is a good thing for the people..."

"Cao Gong must know that the officials are powerful, in order to deter the foolish people, if the officials smile at each other, the people are not afraid of the officials, the world will be in chaos! Such measures will damage the face of the Han, and it will be harmful to the place! Yuan Shao said solemnly.

The ministers agreed.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Yuan Gong... Officials should have authority, but this prestige, but not by beating and scolding and bullying to come, since ancient times, famous ministers, in the locality, so that the people loved, majestic, they are not all by beating and scolding the people to get the official authority? ? I think that the prestige of officials is obtained by loving the people, and they abuse and bully the people at will, which is the real thing that damages the face of the Han Dynasty!! ”

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Yuan Shao couldn't refute it for a while, frowning.

"Cao Gong! You don't want to talk nonsense in the temple, if the people live together, won't it make the barbarians indistinguishable and harm the place? ? How can a virtuous man be able to fight with a barbarian? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled and said, "In this matter, you can ask the late Jiaozhou Assassin Liu Gong, or ask his beloved apprentice." The Son of Heaven calmly looked at the reaction of the ministers, and saw that the ministers were about to quarrel again, he stretched out his hand and said: "What Cao Gong said is reasonable, this matter will be handed over to Cao Gong to deal with... In addition, in this temple, the ministers can negotiate at will, and Cao Gong can't scare them with his guards..."

"Your Majesty forgives you for your sins!" Cao Cao hurriedly bowed his head.

The Son of Heaven nodded, ended the court discussion, and walked on the road.

As soon as Yuan Shao walked out of the court meeting, Cao Cao stood in front of him.

"At the beginning, in the face of old friends, how can you avoid it??" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"It's not necessarily you... The day before yesterday, my legs were numb when I was waiting at the east gate of the city, have you ever come to pay attention to me?? You sent your boy to send me?? Yuan Shao asked with some displeasure, Cao Cao smiled awkwardly, and said: "Don't be annoyed at first, I also heard about that kid's troubles, I beat him up yesterday, and now he is still lying at home!" Don't worry about juniors! ”

"I naturally don't care, the junior's affairs, they have their own disposal, my eldest man is currently in Tingwei, if he goes to your son's trouble, you don't have to worry about the junior!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, my San Lang, follow me, born with divine power, ordinary four or five men can't get close, I'm going to send him to the military academy, I can't say, your eldest son wants him to take up an official position!"

"Also, my eldest man is in the Wa Kingdom, and he is already a vassal king of two thousand stones!"

"My Erlang is with the prince, and now he is also very useful!"

"My Shiro is proficient in poetry and has written more than 30 poems, and those old Confucians in Hongdu Gate are amazed!"

"I forgot to say, my Goro, immature and young, but extremely smart, his four brothers can't debate with him, this year he passed the official school assessment, originally going to Taixue, he said that the knowledge of Taixue professors is too simple, so he stayed in the house to study! Hahahaha! Cao Cao laughed loudly and looked at Yuan Shao proudly.

Yuan Shao blackened his face and returned to the mansion.

That night, a miserable howl came from Yuan Shang's house again.
