Chapter Twenty-Eight: Cao Cao's Headwind

Gao Ye didn't speak, and everyone didn't feel it, but at this time, they felt that the cold wind was howling, and they were cold all over the body. Just now they were feasting and drinking in the main hall, and everyone had already taken off their fur coats one by one. After all, the four copper pillars in the hall for heating have long been burned red, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is as warm as spring. Now everyone is squeezing out to watch the fireworks, and no one except the emperor has a chance to put on his own robe. As soon as he came out of the house, he was attracted by the fireworks, so he naturally didn't realize it. The fireworks were set off for twenty minutes, and as soon as the fireworks were over, there was no last thing to attract attention, and it was strange that everyone no longer felt cold.

Add wine and return to the lamp to reopen the feast, as soon as everyone sat down, there was a maid to bring a bowl of steaming soup, fresh and fragrant, I don't know what to use, Gao Ye just tasted a sip and felt that the aftertaste was endless. It can be seen that Lao Cao still takes care of Liu Xie's private life, at least he must have never been disadvantaged in terms of food. This modern dish comes from the high night house, and the imperial chef in this palace can improve the quality of the dish to such a appearance, in addition to being highly skilled, there must also be a large number of ingredients for them to study and practice as a guarantee.

A bowl of hot soup in the stomach, the cold air of Fang Cai really dispelled a lot, and the warmth in this hall was also warm, and everyone had already recovered the appearance of Fang Cai's vigorous life. By this time, the atmosphere had become much more relaxed and casual, except for the musicians who were still ringing the chimes, and the dancing girls had already left. All the ministers were in good hands, drinking and chatting. Wenchen talks about poetry, military generals talk about the use of soldiers, and as for Yang Biao, the old man, no matter who he chats with, he only talks about Fengyue.

Cao Cao's side was naturally surrounded by a group of important ministers of the Cao family, Gao Ye's side was a little desolate, only Guo Jia sat next to Gao Ye with wine. As for Liu Xie, he can only sit alone on the dragon chair, although he has no rights, but he is still nominally the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty. According to the etiquette, who can sit next to him and chat with him, and how can he easily step down from the dragon chair and talk with other ministers.

Even Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Gao Ye, couldn't help but chuckle lightly, and whispered: "I see that Your Majesty is like that alone, I'm afraid I want to go back to the palace early to rest." It's a pity that the banquet has not ended, and in order to maintain this royal majesty, he can neither leave the venue in advance, nor come down to chat, nor do he know what he thinks at this moment. ”

Gao Ye shook his head and smiled: "Drink your wine well, can't the wine in this palace stop your mouth?" ”

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything more, he clinked glasses with Gao Ye and drank them all, and then smiled: "Don't talk about him, it's not interesting to talk about it, let's talk about you." Saying that, Guo Jia poured himself another glass of wine and continued: "I heard that eldest brother, you already have a draft for implementing a comprehensive reform, but is there such a thing? ”

Although he mentioned to Cao Cao that he had the intention of reforming, he never told anyone that he had a case, after all, those things in the future generations should also be used at his discretion, and he was still thinking about it, and he didn't know where Guo Jia heard such news. But since he can mention this matter to himself during the Chinese New Year, he thinks that he will not vomit unpleasantly. Therefore, Gao Ye shook his head and said, "Otherwise, since I came back, although I have thought a lot, I have not yet had a mature plan. I wrote down all my thoughts and thoughts, and wanted Kang Chenggong, my father-in-law, and Kong Ming to give their opinions. What's more, at the summary meeting a few days ago, I found that there are many things that are different from what I imagined, and when there will be a draft, it may be June or July at the earliest. Why, don't you think about Yuan Shao, why do you suddenly care about this matter? ”

"It's because I'm thinking about Yuan Shao that I can't help but care about this matter. The eldest brother also knows the current situation, and the contest between the lord and Yuan Shao is far from over. Although I don't know how your reform is going to be carried out, big brother, the reform has always been the same, it will touch the existing pattern of interests, and it will damage the interests of some people. I'm worried that your reforms, big brother, will make this rear unstable. Besides, Shang Ying strengthened the Qin State and the car was split, and Chao mistakenly cut the foreign domain and cut it in half, the lesson of the previous car, the eldest brother can't be careless. ”

Gao Ye, who was originally full of joy, couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "That's right, but the system of the Han Dynasty is already terminally ill, and reform is imperative." Otherwise, even if a new dynasty is established, it will not be long before it will be able to escape the fate of destruction. When Gao Ye said this, he couldn't help but think of the Wuhu Chaohua not long after, and even the Eight-Nation Alliance a long time later, and his expression couldn't help but become more serious. Seeing that Guo Jia drank without a sip, Gao Ye continued: "I don't believe what Zou Yan called the five virtues. There must be a way in this world to make a dynasty and a country last forever. If I don't try it, my eldest brother, I won't be willing to die. Moreover, if there is chaos today, people's minds change, it can be said that it is the best time. I have ideas, I have the ability, I have the opportunity. If I don't do it, I'm afraid that it will be more difficult for people in the future to do it. ”

Seeing that Guo Jia put down the wine bottle, his brows tightened, and before he could speak, he was robbed by Gao Ye and said: "But what Feng Xiao said, I also know it very well." Yuan Shao's strength is still very strong, and what is more needed at this time is to unite all the forces that can be united to fight. If the rear is unstable, there will be no need to fight the battle on the front line, and I can still see this clearly with your eldest brother, I am not so eager for quick success. I don't even have a perfect plan right now, at most it's just a small fight, and I can't make any big fights at all. You can think about how to deal with Yuan Shao with peace of mind. ”

Gao Ye's words did not fall, but he never thought that a voice would say from behind Gao Ye: "I explain why you threw out money and banks at the conclusion of the meeting, these two things must have nothing to do with your reform." Not to mention currency, but the bank is by no means a trivial matter. ”

"Haha, when did Wen Ruo speak like this? Come on, come on, sit down. Saying that, Gao Ye gave way to the side again, and let Xun Yu, who was holding the wine, sit over. Guo Jia on the side didn't say a word, so he touched a cup with Xun Yu, and drank it all after touching it, which made Xun Yu shake his head and laugh again and again. Guo Jia took a bottle of wine, and then said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I really didn't expect that the layout of the eldest brother would have started a long time ago." ”

Gao Ye laughed out loud, also touched a cup with Xun Yu, and drank it all and said: "The vigorous development of commerce in recent years has brought huge benefits to the imperial court and even to us. The speed of business development has really exceeded my expectations. But the problem is equally serious, I won't talk about currency, our business law is like a fishing net, there are holes everywhere, don't you need to change it? Speaking of this, Gao Ye's voice suddenly became smaller, and he smiled like a stealing cat: "Is the bank good?" I think it's definitely a weapon for the country! I want to plug the loopholes now, can I agree to the damage to the interests of those families? When they have all their money in the bank and they have used all the new money, do you think it will be difficult to carry out this business reform again? ”

As soon as Gao Ye said that, the three of them immediately laughed together, attracting the attention of the people around them. However, the three of them did not continue to discuss any further topics related to this, and some things were still not suitable for everyone to know. If they knew that the bank still had such a role, maybe the people who were vying to set up a bank a few days ago would be able to jump to their feet and scold their mothers on the top of this hall. As for Xun Yu, Gao Ye is not worried, he is a person who wants the Han family to regain his majesty, and he doesn't care much about other details.

There are more and more people around Gao Ye, although most of them toast a glass of wine and leave, but the topic of Gao Ye's side has been successfully shifted to the matter of the wind and snow. On the contrary, Cao Cao, who had just been surrounded by people, was now left with only Xu Chu and Dian Wei beside him. Cao Cao was holding a wine bottle in one hand, but he was constantly rubbing his temples with the other, and Xu Chu next to him was still talking about something.

It happened that Xiahou Yuan was beside him, and Gao Ye immediately asked, "Miaocai, what's wrong with the lord?" ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at the people around him, all of them were Cao Cao's henchmen, and then he whispered: "The lord's head wind has been committed again, and it is not good to be rude to go, so I endure it." Mr. Zhang Ji is in the main mansion, and there is no big problem to come. ”

Gao Ye could only sigh when he heard this, Cao Cao's head wind had been bothering him for a long time, although Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji had conditioned him, although it could not be eradicated, but the number of episodes was getting less and less. As for the legendary skull-to-craniotomy and windsac removal, Gao Ye had never heard of it. Maybe Hua Tuo didn't have such a big grasp of surgery at this time, so he didn't dare to speak casually.

But even if Hua Tuo opened his mouth, Gao Ye didn't dare to let Cao Cao try it at will. In this era of extremely poor sanitation conditions and even worse anti-inflammatory measures, doing a craniotomy is not much different from taking Cao Cao's life. Conservative treatment may be the best choice compared to gambling.

Cao Cao, who was just enduring the pain, obviously underestimated the power of this headache, and he was originally just gently softening his temples, but at this time he already had a low moan of pain. Gao Ye even seemed to see the green tendons on Cao Cao's forehead. This scene is not only Gao Ye, but also Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xiahou Yuan and others around Gao Ye naturally saw it. Cao Ang took three steps and two steps, and hurriedly walked to Cao Cao's side. After all, Cao Cao's head wind attack was so great that even Cao Ang saw it for the first time.

Compared with Cao Ang, who was at a loss, Xun Yu seemed to be quite old-fashioned. Before Gao Ye could speak, he stood up and bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, since Sikong is not strong enough to drink, it is better to leave the banquet and let Sikong go back to the house to rest early." ”

"Eh, tonight isn't all over yet, how can you end it up? There is a resting place in this palace, and it is enough to help Sikong to rest. I'll order the imperial chef to boil a bowl of hangover soup, and then let the imperial doctor take a look. ”
