Chapter 2 Above the court, the first confrontation

After Cao Cao saw off Tian Jing and others, on the second day, he hosted a banquet for a group of civil officials led by Yang Biao, the chief lieutenant. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For the discussion of moving the capital, although these civil officials also know that Luoyang's grain and grass supply depends on Cao Cao, after all, they have more independent thinking spirit and more Confucian responsibility. Whether they agreed to move the capital or those who opposed it, they cited scriptures and classics to give a lot of reasons, and Cao Cao's banquet also became a place of debate.

Guo Jia shook his head slightly, signaling to Cao Cao that it was better to take a long-term view of this matter and not to be in a hurry.

Cao Cao is also a person who can afford to let go, since the time is not ripe now, then this matter can be discussed later. However, there are some important talents, and Cao Cao wants to get closer to them at such an opportunity. For example, in the imperial history, Cheng Zhong Xuan, the owner of the business, Pei Mao, and so on.

Taiwei Yang Biao did not express a single opinion on the matter of moving the capital from beginning to end, and Cao Cao was not sure what Yang Biao thought. I had to decide to visit in the future when I was looking for an opportunity to explore the hole cards of this old Jianghu.

After some tossing, Cao Cao found that he was in a hurry to move the capital. However, these two days were not in vain, at least Cao Cao saw the position of everyone by banqueting the military generals and ministers, and the other also made friends with hundreds of officials, laying the foundation for future actions.

When Emperor Xian came to the court again, Cao Cao played a book, please merge Yingchuan County in Yuzhou into the Sili School Captain Department. The reason is mainly to alleviate the plight of underpopulation under the rule of Yin in Henan, and at the same time, Yingchuan can be used as a barrier to the south of Yin in Henan.

Cao Cao's call was to throw stones and ask for directions, but he still had to try the reaction of the hundred officials and the emperor. Except for the dozen or so people Cao Cao had entertained, most of the others did not know Cao Cao's true purpose.

However, this matter is simpler, Cao Cao put a county under his rule of Yuzhou into the Sili School Captain's Department, just like taking an egg from the left basket to the right, it is Cao Cao's own business, and others seem to have no reason to object.

Even Tian Jing and other people who oppose the relocation of the capital are not easy to talk about now, after all, Cao Cao only proposed to add a county to the Sili School Commandery, and this also increased the scope of taxation directly controlled by the Son of Heaven, if he objected, it would obviously have ulterior motives.

Emperor Xian looked at it for a long time and did not raise any objections, that is, all the officials supported it. Emperor Xian asked Cao Cao, "Aiqing's proposal is really for the sake of the stability of the Han River, and I am very pleased in my heart." I don't know who Aiqing thinks can be this Yingchuan Taishou? ”

Cao Cao saw the emperor's approval, and said, "There is a person under the minister's command, Xun Yu Xun Gongda, who is from the Yingchuan Wang clan and used to be a waiter of the Yellow Gate. Dong rebel usurped power, and Gongda was imprisoned for preparing to assassinate Dong rebel. After resigning, he was at home. The soldiers entered Yingchuan and came to the door many times to ask for advice, so that Xun Yu was born. Xun Gongda is a talent of 100 miles, and the leader Yingchuan is too guarded and competent. ”

As soon as Emperor Xian heard that it was feasible, he allowed Cao Cao to play.

At this time, Cao Cao played again: "Henan Yin Zhang Yang submitted his resignation from Henan Yin, and he is still willing to be the Taishou of Hanoi." This matter still needs to be decided by God. ”

Emperor Xian felt strange when he heard it, Zhang Yang had spent a lot of effort to build a palace in Luoyang before, and he had been sending money and food to Luoyang, how could he be a good Henan Yin?

Emperor Xian didn't know that Zhang Yang had always had an old relationship with Lu Bu, and Cao Cao and Lu Bu were mortal enemies. After all, Hanoi is his own territory, and he has been operating for a long time, and the imperial court will not let him alone lead the two counties, so he still decided to resign from the post of Henan Yin.

When Cao Cao received Zhang Yang's seal, he said in his heart that Zhang Yang was also eye-catching, and he originally wanted to find an opportunity to deal with this person, so he didn't move him for the time being.

Although it is strange to offer the emperor, this kind of thing is not easy to force, so he asked Cao Cao if he had a suitable candidate to recommend.

Cao Cao had already had a belly case, so he said to Emperor Xian, "In the imperial history, Cheng Zhong Xuan can be in this position." ”

Emperor Xian originally thought that Cao Cao would still recommend his own private, but he didn't want to recommend talents from the hundreds of officials around him. Zhong Xuan's dedication to the emperor still has some images, Dong Zhuo interfered in political affairs, this person had served as a court lieutenant by his side, and he also trusted him, and later came to serve in the court, and he didn't want to serve as the imperial historian. This promotion to Henan Yin has been promoted from an official of 1,000 stones to 2,000 stones, and he is still the chief official in the capital. Therefore, the emperor is called to the same time.

At this time, Cao Cao said again, "Now the division is under the school captain's department, there are eight counties, Jingzhao County, Zuo Fufeng, and Right Feng Yi are still in the hands of thieves for the time being, but now there is no candidate for the Taishou of Hedong and Hongnong Counties, and this matter should also be decided as soon as possible, so as to appease the people and guard the place." ”

Tian Jingxin said that this Cao Cao was cunning, and he still went around to Hedong. He wanted Zhao Yan to be the Taishou of Hedong, but Zhao Yan lacked qualifications and prestige after all, so he wanted to drag this matter and wait for Hedong to be governed, and then ask Emperor Zhao Yan to take the post of Taishou of Hedong.

Now that Cao Cao has picked up the conversation, he can't help but speak, "Shengshang, the situation in Hedong knows a little bit about the situation, since our army recovered Hedong, Changshi Zhao Yan has been acting in charge of civil affairs, taking care of Tuntian. Hedong can have today's scene, all thanks to Zhao Yan's strength. The minister recommended Zhao Yan as the Taishou of Hedong. ”

At this time, Cao Cao said from the side: "Cao heard that this Zhao Yan has been the county commander of Wannian for less than two months, and he has been the chief of Hedong for less than half a year, and there is no obvious political achievement, how can he be the Taishou of Hedong." In addition, Hedong County is connected to the right Feng Yi in the west, the Southern Xiongnu in the north, and the Baibo remnants and black mountain bandits in the Taihang Mountains in the east. I'm not right to hire newcomers, but this Zhao Yan seems to be a little lacking in terms of qualifications and experience. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Xian still felt that what Cao Cao said made some sense, so he asked Cao Cao if he had someone to recommend. Cao Cao recommended Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu was originally a county governor of Hedong and knew more about Hedong. However, Yang Xiu is also Tian Jing's person, and Tian Jing can't understand what Cao Cao means by recommending Yang Xiu. Could it be that Cao Cao reached an agreement with Taiwei Yang Biao? Cao Cao is showing favor to Yang Biao?

Thinking of this, Tian Jing felt that he had to speak, "Yang Xiu, as the commander of Hedong County, was originally the best candidate for Hedong Taishou. However, Anyi was defeated, Yang Xiu, as the county chief, was originally responsible for guarding the land, and the county officials still stayed to appease the people, but Yang Xiu fled to Hongnong alone. How can this be too deserved? ”

Cao Cao originally wanted to show favor to Yang Biao, but he didn't care if Yang Xiu could be qualified for the position of Taishou. Moreover, Tian Jing objected in court, but he was afraid that if he lost Yang Xiu's loyalty, he would also have a dislike with Yang Biao. The benefits do outweigh the disadvantages for Cao Cao, so Cao Cao does not refute it.

Taiwei Yang Biao spoke at this time, "What General Tian said is true, the dog did disappoint the old man, the sage said that he sacrificed his life for righteousness, and his sage books were read in vain." Now the dog is being grounded at home by me, not to mention Hedong Taishou, even he can't afford the position of Hedong Juncheng. In the future, the old man will definitely be good at discipline, so that he can understand benevolence, righteousness, reason, and trust. ”

As soon as Yang Biao's words came out, he clearly supported Tian Jing. Only then did Tian Jing realize that Yang Biao was still the original Yang Biao, and it was his old man who was almost wronged just now.

Cao Cao didn't expect that Yang Biao would rather blame his son than support Tian Jing, and it seems that he will have to think of more ways to deal with these two in the future. Cao Cao hurriedly said, "Cao has just entered the center, and I don't know a lot of things, but it turns out that there is such a thing, but it's a pity, Ling Lang is a talent, it is better to put it under Cao to experience a period of time, I don't know what Lord Taiwei thinks?" ”

Yang Biao smiled, "Thank you for the kindness of Captain Si Li, but the old man has thought that this son is still better to be disciplined by Tian Jing, the general of Zhendong!" ”

Cao Cao didn't expect to touch a nose here, hehe smiled, no longer mentioned Yang Xiu's matter, and continued to talk about the selection of Hedong Taishou, "Since these two people are not suitable, Cao will recommend another person, Hongnong Wangyi made meritorious contributions to the prevention and control of plague in Lushi County, and when he led Hongnong County Taishou, he made many achievements in the resettlement of displaced people and the development of production." With Wang Yi as the Taishou of Hedong, it can just solve the problem of resuming production in Hedong after the war. ”

When Emperor Xian heard it, he had heard Zhang Ji and others talk about the matter of Wang Yi, and this person was of great use. "But it's good, but who does Hongnong County think is too guarded?" Emperor Xian asked.

Cao Cao seemed to have expected that Emperor Xian would ask this question, so he said, "There are countless capable people under the command of the hussar general, why worry that there is no one who can be qualified to serve as Hongnong Taishou, Wuwei Jia Xu Jia Wen and Zeng Guan worship Shangshu, when Li and Guo Bingzheng, Jia Wenhe resigned and went into hiding, but he didn't want to be an idle scribe under the command of the hussar general, why don't you invite this person to share the worries of the society?" I wonder what the hussar general thinks? ”

Zhang Jishang has not spoken until now, because he is not used to these tricks of intrigue. Cao Cao is showing favor to himself, but he may not have the intention of wooing Jia Xu. Zhang Jixin said that Cao Cao really had the wrong idea, this Jia Xu had just resigned and he couldn't ask for it many times, and then somehow Jia Xu fell in love with his nephew Zhang Xiu, thinking that he had the posture of a hero and could achieve great things, so he threw himself under Zhang Xiu. Jia Xu himself can't move, let alone Cao Cao.

However, Zhang Ji naturally didn't say these thoughts, but just smiled, "The old man is a rough man, and the candidate for this Taishou will still be decided." Jia Xu's ability is naturally there, but I don't know very well whether this person is willing to be this Hongnong Taishou, after all, Mr. Jia stays in our army as a guest, and I can't be the master. ”

Cao Cao said in his heart, this Zhang Ji Lao'er is obviously not willing to appreciate it when he is cheap. Nor did he speak and waited for the emperor to decide.

Emperor Xian looked at Tian Jing again and asked him if he had any opinions. Tian Jing said: "Lord Wang Yi leads Hedong Taishou, I have no opinion. ”

Emperor Xian saw that since everyone's opinions were unified, he made a decree to take Zhong Xuan as Henan Yin, Xun You as Yingchuan Taishou, Zhang Yang as Hanoi Taishou and General Anguo, Wang Yi as Hedong Taishou, and Jia Xu as Hongnong Taishou. In the land of Guanzhong Sanfu, after pacifying the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, the candidates for Taishou will be determined. At the same time, it is clear that the main task of the counties and counties of the current division is to recruit displaced people, restore production, and stabilize the localities.
