Chapter 63: Fierce Debate in the Imperial Court

There is a huge open space in front of the palace, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and now there are many carriages in this open space, and groups of coachmen are chatting together, Cao Pi has judged from the number of carriages that this is a foreign court meeting, and there should be many officials in addition to the three princes and nine secretaries. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The place where the two got off was not far from the palace gate, and through the long corridor of the palace gate, you could see the world inside the Liuzhang palace wall, which was a square black brick and white wall building, but these buildings had long stone steps underneath, perhaps because they were built in a hurry, and the stone steps were not painted the same color as the white walls.

The buildings on the central axis of the palace are decent, the system of the roof is four roofs, and the dougong and the eaves are all pursuing the atmosphere, rather than the ingenious beauty, which makes people look at it with a solemn feeling. The palace is a blank in Cao Pi's memory, even the previous Cao Pi has never entered it.

Cao Pi suddenly remembered the Xiefang Palace, Liqi Palace, which Cao Cao said he would build during the New Year. Don't know how it's going?

At this time, Guo Jia took Cao Pi forward, and the halberd-wielding guards guarding the palace gate didn't even save questions, so they were put into the palace.

When walking on the road, Guo Jia said: "The sergeants in this palace are only in the two tuns of the Son of Heaven's dormitory, and the other sergeants are all transferred here under the command of Sikong, nominally the palace guards are under the southern army system, and they belong to one of the nine Qing guards, but in fact, the 100 people in the palace are the father of Queen Fu, and the Zhongsan doctor is in moderation, and the other sergeants are under the control of Cao Wenlie, the son of Sikong. ”

Cao Wenlie Cao Xiu is the grandson of Cao Ding, the Taishou of Wu County, Cao Ding is Cao Hong's uncle and Cao Cao's uncle. So Cao Xiu and Cao Pi are still the same generation, and now Cao Xiu has been officially named the captain of the cavalry, although it belongs to the jurisdiction of Jiuqing's Guangluxun, but it is a member of two thousand stones. Riding Captain in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is in charge of his personal guard Yulin Army official position, later the palace military system reform, the position of Riding Captain became an idle position, Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven after the special title of Cao Xiu as the Captain of the Cavalry, endowed with real power, in charge of the palace guards, so the person who controls the southern army is Cao Xiu.

The southern army is the opposite of the northern army, the northern army has five battalions of military guards, backbones, middle bases, small cavalry, and guerrillas, and the five battalions are equipped with captains and Simas, and when there is no war, it is commanded by Li Dian, the marquis of the northern army, and when there is a war, except for the smallest number of middle base battalions left behind in Xudu, other armies will go out, such as the 30,000 troops that are composed of the other four battalions when they go to crusade against Zhang Xiu.

It can be said that except for the hundred sergeants in the emperor's dormitory, Xu Du is under Cao Cao's control both inside and outside. Therefore, Cao Pi and Guo Jia were not stopped and questioned when they entered the palace.

The military advisor sacrificed Guo Jia, who doesn't know anyone in the Cao army? What's more, it's still the Praetorian Guard guarding the door.

After passing through a wide palace road, the two came to the front of the first building that entered the palace gate, which was the main hall where the outer court meeting was held, and could accommodate two hundred people. Now there are two small yellow doors kneeling outside the hall, which are actually eunuchs. There were pairs of shoes in front of them, because they had to take off their shoes when they entered the court.

Guo Jia and Cao Pi walked from the side stairs to the front of the main hall, the door facing them was closed, Guo Jia whispered to Cao Pi: "Now wait here." ”

Cao Pi nodded, and just stood with Guo Jia under the eaves in front of the side door of the main hall, and the voice in the court could reach his ears clearly and unmistakably.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has never been a rice flower on an ear of rice, and it must be a way to fool ignorant mortals! This method is similar to the method of opening the horn charm water to drive away diseases, and it is no different from evil magic! A characterless voice was speaking impassionedly.

Guo Jia said softly: "This person is Wu Shuo, who has always been friendly with General Wei Dong Cheng, and he is a hero of Donggui. ”

Cao Pi nodded, and at this time, another voice sounded in the court, this voice was full of anger and quite magnetic: "What Yilang said is very true, Your Majesty!" Now Sikong Cao Mengde, privately sent sergeants to guard the military cantonment, forbidding others to watch closely, it is clearly a bend of the law for personal gain! I beg Your Majesty to issue an edict ordering Cao Mengde to withdraw the sergeants, pull out the rice flowers that bewitch the people, and then correct the people who practice the art of bewitchment, so as to show the world. As soon as the words fell, the hall was filled with echoes such as "This is very true", "It should be so", "Please give an edict to Your Majesty".

Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Shaofu Kong Rong." ”

Cao Pi sighed in his heart, this guy, before he said a few words, let the emperor force Cao Cao to kill me, it seems that he can't be kept in the future.

"In the first five years of the Han Dynasty, Wei Chan let the saying prevail, talismans, books, endlessly, there are 'seeking the virtuous to give way', 'the decline of the Han calendar', when more ordained", 'Tianzhu Emperor Fu', 'the devotee of the marquis' words, three years later, Wang Mang forced the Son of Heaven to let Chan, usurp power and call the emperor! Your Majesty, it is no different to be a demon who bewitches all the people with this rice flower demon atmosphere to rebel! Be punished by the clan! An old voice said.

"Taichang Yang Biao, this person was previously an official to a captain." Guo Jia said.

Cao Pi nodded silently, but he felt that the older a person is, the more level he has to speak, as soon as the big hat of Wang Mang usurped the Han was buttoned down, if he sat down, Cao Cao couldn't stop it, there are still many people in the world who can match him, if the Son of Heaven returns to the north and the south again, Cao Cao, who has lost his reputation and can't stand up, is really in a dilemma.

But at this time, Cao Cao's voice sounded unhurriedly; "Ladies and gentlemen, take a look at the clothes on your body and the frame outside the door, before you come to Xudu, can you have a call? All faces are yellow and thin, and the clothes are not covered, if it weren't for the lonely people who ushered you from Luoyang to Xu Du, you and others would have become a starving corpse in Luoyang City! ”

Cao Pi nodded secretly when he heard this, he had to be so arrogant! not only called them lonely in front of the emperor, but also told them that people have to bow their heads under the eaves to sit down.

Cao Cao ignored everyone's discussion and continued: "The princes want food, the conquest does not ask for food, the tax exemption and exemption ask for food, dare to ask Your Majesty, move the concubines in the harem of Xudu, can one of the maids starve to death?" ”

"This.... It's commonplace, and I'm fortunate that we don't have to worry about food and clothing. A relatively young voice sounded, this voice was still a little unstable, as if he was moving forward to suppress his trembling voice, Cao Cao's prestige can be seen.

"Look at the monarchs are full of red light, presumably no one is hungry, I don't know if you know, now Yuzhou, Yanzhou two taxes are only four liters of land rent, two horses of silk, two catties of cotton, such a thin tax, but to support the sergeants, but also to distribute the Manchu Dynasty Lu, from my Cao Mansion down, to the generals and soldiers, do not dare to spend a mile! Looking at the world, who is the one who harms himself and benefits the people, except for Cao? Heaven is grateful for my painstaking efforts, and how strange is it that he has given me the technique of increasing rice yield by the method of falling into a dream? There are three rice ears here, and the rice flowers on them are real or false, please be sure to know if you are good at ploughing! ”

Guo Jia said to Cao Pi at this time: "If the prince is summoned, there is no need to say much, just say that when the autumn harvest comes, please ask the Son of Heaven to move to the military tun to take a look." ”
