The situation in Luoyang is even more miserable than that of Anyi, the houses are only ruined and broken, and the palace has become a gathering place for displaced people. ”

Cao Cao replied: "The big families in Luoyang have been ransacked by the thugs among the homeless people, and many families have been slaughtered, and the ministers have sent troops to drive away the thugs entrenched in several mansions, and Your Majesty and your lordships can settle there first." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Zhong Xuan said: "But this place is not a long-term place to live after all, plus the counties around Luoyang have ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the people are not engaged in production, how can there be a capital?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "Marquis Zhong is right, I have already built a large number of buildings in Xuchang to build the imperial palace, and it will be completed in just over a month, and your majesty will be able to move to Xuchang in August." ”

When Emperor Xian heard this, he asked with interest: "I don't know how the Xuchang Palace is compared to the Luoyang Palace City?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "Although it is not as majestic as the Luoyang Palace, it is not much inferior to the power of the whole people in the territory. ”

Emperor Xian praised: "Cao Qing is really hard work. After speaking, he asked Zhong Xuan: "Zhong Qing's family, what kind of official system can my big man have that Cao Pi and Cao Zhang can take on at this age?" ”

Zhong Xuan muttered: "This... I have Guangluxun in the nine kings, who is in charge of the palace guards, and has the post of Yilang, who can work for the Son of Heaven, and the two sons are very intelligent, and they are loved by His Majesty, so they are just awarded this position. ”

Emperor Xian nodded and said, "That's good, so be it!" ”

Cao Pi and Cao Zhang hurriedly thanked him, Cao Zhang deeply understood what it means to decide the official position of the buttocks, and the emperor became a councillor in a word, this councillor is not a petty official, there are 600 stones a year, the level is the same as the county order of the magistrate, and it is also the county magistrate level in modern times, Cao Pi is nine years old this year, Cao Chang is seven years old this year, and he has a county magistrate-level title, what a ridiculous thing, but none of the hundred officials around him dared to speak out, because it was the emperor himself who wanted to seal it.

Emperor Xian was tired all the way, so Cao Cao personally sent Emperor Xian to the place where he stayed, and then asked Cao Ang to take the generals to settle the hundred officials, and Cao Pi went to rest on his own, and Cao Zhang came to a house with Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Zhong Xuan.

At the beginning, Cao Cao first expressed his gratitude to Zhong Xuan, saying that if it was not for Zhong Xuan's mediation, it would be impossible for him to receive the emperor, Zhong Xuan was also very polite, and the two still seemed to be very compatible, and then Cao Cao said: "Now that I have received the Son of Heaven, what should I do next?" ”

As always, Guo Jia took the lead in speaking: "The Son of Heaven is only temporarily settled in Luoyang, and he will come to Xuchang in the near future, I am better to be still, the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials have been displaced, after several wars, and famine, I want to die a lot of pillars of talent, for today's plan should fill these vacancies, let the court officials perform their duties." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Feng Xiao's words are very much in line with my wishes!" Zhong Hou, I don't know what you think about filling the vacancy of hundreds of officials? "Zhong Miao is a high-ranking official in the imperial court, not from the Cao Jun faction, so Cao Cao has this question, and its purpose is obvious, that is, to make Zhong Miao express his position, which side he is on.

Zhong Xuan is very knowledgeable and interesting: "Haha, Cao Gong is really a lot of questions, Cao is from Yingchuan, and Wen Ruo Fengxiao are fellow villagers, and he asked himself that he was not as good as the two tenths, and the two talents were used by Cao Gong, obviously Cao Gong is a person who knows people and is good at his duties, and he should work hard for Cao Gong to fill the vacancy in the official position." ”

Cao Zhang couldn't help but admire when he heard it, this gentleman is really oily! To say so is to acquiesce to Cao Cao's use of his own team to fill the vacancies of those dead officials.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Zhong Hou is too humble! Then he then asked, "Then what should Yang Feng and Bai Bo Li Le's subordinates do?" ”

Xun Yu said: "The two of them have been plundering all the way, although there are many people, but they are a rabble, if they go to Xuchang with the Son of Heaven, they are afraid of disturbing the people even more, so they should be left in Luoyang." ”

Guo Jia continued: "If you don't watch Yang Feng as the guard captain and Li Wei as the ruling Jinwu, organize his subordinate army into the Jingshi Southern Army, and let him guard Luoyang, then he will not be able to leave." ”

Zhong Xuan said with a smile: "Yang Feng has more than 30,000 people, and when there is a shortage of food, he will rob the army, and then Cao Gong can go to the Son of Heaven to crusade against this person, and then recover the Sili region in one fell swoop." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "That makes sense. Then he asked Cao Zhangdao: "Zhang'er, why does Your Majesty treat you so well?" ”

Cao Zhang told him about his invention of playing cards and the game of "Dou Dong Zhuo", Cao Cao praised it and said: "Zhang'er is really smart and abnormal, and he will be closer to His Royal Highness in the future!" ”

"No! Father. Cao Zhang agreed.

"Okay, okay, today I will hold a banquet in the outer hall, there is good wine and food, Marquis Zhong, why don't you call the officials above Shang Shulang in the court to have a banquet together?" Cao Cao laughed.

Zhong Xuan agreed and went to prepare, Guo Jia and Xun Yu also said goodbye and left, Cao Cao and Cao Zhang, father and son, walked in the outer courtyard, although Cao Zhang was only seven years old, but his figure was much taller than ordinary children, and he had reached Cao Cao's shoulder, Cao Cao stroked Cao Zhang's back and said: "Zhang'er! Mao Jue, who gave you a lecture before, suggested that he be a father and coerce the Son of Heaven to order him not to obey, do you think this is feasible? ”

Cao Zhang had a relative understanding after a few months of getting along with Emperor Han Xian, and when he saw Cao Cao ask, he suddenly thought of a way to quickly please Cao Cao and clarify his status in Cao Jun, Cao Zhang smiled and said: "Your Majesty is just a fifteen-year-old boy, which boy is not greedy for fun?" A 'Dou Dong Zhuo' will play him happily, as long as the child can always get close to the Son of Heaven, why use the word 'coercion'? The Son of Heaven will willingly be used by us! ”

Cao Cao smiled when he heard this: "It's really comfortable to talk to Zhang'er, you don't have to beat around the bush, I don't know if Zhang'er has any other ways to please Your Majesty?" ”

Cao Zhang pointed to his head and smiled: "If you think about it, you will naturally have it." ”

"Then Zhang'er will accompany the Son of Heaven more!" Cao Cao laughed.

"Well, the child knows," Cao Zhang replied with a smile.

"Good boy, aren't you afraid of being called a courtier?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if people in the world say that the child is a courtier, as long as the Son of Heaven says that the child is a loyal minister!" Cao Zhang replied.

Cao Cao laughed, patted Cao Zhang's back and praised: "It is worthy of being my Cao Cao's good son!" If Zhang'er needs anything when playing with His Majesty, just talk to your father, and your father will naturally do his best for you. ”

Cao Zhangxin said, this is the effect I want, and he said thank you.
