Returning to Chang'an City, Wenchen and the people in the city greeted each other, Lewen found that he did not come back for three months, Chang'an City had a lot of changes before his trip, this is also because of Lewen's implementation of some policies that benefit the people before the trip, rewarding farming, lightly dispensing with small endowments, plus after killing Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo took a part of the money and distributed it to the poor people, attracting a lot of people who fled because of the war, and the population in the city that had plummeted because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion gradually recovered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And because Lewen knows people well, Chen Gong not only has a strategy and strategy, but also has a set of rules for governing the country, so that the once abandoned economy of Chang'an City has also recovered, the economy has recovered, and the life of the people in the city is naturally better, and there are more restaurants and shops in the city, and the banners of the merchants are fluttering, and the shouts of doing small business echo endlessly on the streets of Chang'an City.

Chang'an City has undergone such a big change in just three months, the people have benefited, and naturally they are grateful to the emperor.

In terms of employing people, Lewen recruits a large number of talents, as long as they have the ability to get the corresponding positions, break the concept of the clan, recruit the middle and lower classes of the landlord class, restrain the strong and strong, and strengthen the centralization of power, although Lewen's current territory is only a Chang'an City and some small counties nearby, but it is easier to manage and implement policies.

Ma Yunlu and Zhao Yun, who were traveling with Lewen, saw the prosperous scene of the recovery of all things in Chang'an City and the officials and people who welcomed them, and they not only admired the policy of benefiting the people implemented by Lewen, but also made the two of them feel a little more awe.

"Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Back in the palace hall, Le Wenyu made twelve crowns, wearing a black dragon robe, said to be black, but in fact it is not completely black, the crown dress is a black top, vermilion bottom, and the upper and lower are painted with crests.

Le Wen shook off the sleeves of his robe with some width, raised his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, Aiqing is flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Le Wen glanced at Chen Gong, and then saw a few new faces of His Royal Highness, thinking that it was Chen Gong who recruited the wise man according to his instructions, he pondered for a moment, and then said to His Royal Highness's Minister of Civil and Military Affairs: "Ladies and gentlemen, during the time I am not in Chang'an, has there been any major incident?" ”

At this time, a young man with a medium stature, yellow face and thin muscles, and an angry bookish appearance walked out from the left column, and said to Le Wen: "Your Majesty! Hebei Yuan Shao broke through Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan was defeated, his subordinates and territories have been annexed by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's power can be said to be in full swing, but he Yuan Shao did not obey the edict at all, ignoring His Majesty's prestige, Your Majesty must not be on guard! ”

"Oh?! You have a strange face, huh? Who recommended you to be an official?! Le Wen asked casually.

As soon as the words fell, Chen Gong hurriedly made a decision from the first place on the left, and said to Le Wen: "Your Majesty, this person's surname is Cang, his name is Da, his name is Yongyuan, and he is a person from Chang'an, and he is a talented person recruited by Weichen in accordance with His Majesty's instructions. ”

"Cangda? Cangyongyuan? Le Wen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, in his memory, he should not have heard of this person in the Three Kingdoms, and he was also a little-known person, insignificant.

And the advice made by this person doesn't seem to be useful, not to mention that Yuan Shao didn't take me in his eyes, which of the princes from all walks of life put me in his eyes? It seems that this man is just a mediocre and corrupt person.

Le Wen waved his hand and said lightly: "I know, I recently want to take Ma Teng's daughter as a concubine, the waiter Zhao Yan, you will give Ma Teng a dowry." ”

Zhao Yan, Lang evil man also. There is little magic. In the third year of Yanxi, the evil thief Lao Bing and the Taishan thief uncle Sun Wuji killed Du Wei. Conquered Lang Evil County and brutalized the people. The imperial court took Nanyang Zongzi as the general of Kou Zhonglang, the general of the cane Yue, and the governor of the county to discuss Wuji. Yan is the law of Chen Guxu, with thieves in Ju, Ju has the land of Wuyang, it is advisable to send Wuyang county soldiers, from the lonely attack to ask for it. On the form, the edict sent Wuyang soldiers to the court. Yan pushed Dunjia, taught the army to march in time, broke the thieves in a war, burned the tunwu, Xu and Yan Erzhou, and razed it for a while.

"No! Congratulations to Your Majesty! When Zhao Yan got the holy order, he hurriedly walked out of the left column, promised him, and congratulated him, and the ministers of His Royal Highness also congratulated him, but he wondered in his heart how His Majesty took Ma Teng's daughter into his hands.

Le Wen knew what these people were thinking, smiled and continued: "I have one more thing, that is, in three days, I will send 50,000 troops to attack Hongnong County!" ”

"Attack Hongnon?! Your Majesty, why are you attacking Xuchang? Chen Gong asked with some puzzlement.

Le Wen smiled mysteriously, "I have my own plans, so there is no need to ask more about the public platform, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, the three of you will follow me to conquer Hongnong!" ”

"Yes!" The three generals who were named in the right column of His Royal Highness walked out of the queue and surrendered their orders, but Zhao Yun, who had just joined, was very unfamiliar to everyone, and His Royal Highness couldn't help but look at him more, and they were very suspicious in their hearts, such a little-known young general could go out with Lu Bu and Zhang Liao on the expedition, what kind of skills did this person have, and he could get such a weight from His Majesty.

The military generals vaguely guessed His Majesty's intention to attack Hongnong, and it was likely that His Majesty wanted to use it to establish his authority, establish prestige, and truly control the military power in his own hands.

But they only guessed one of them, and the more important reason was that Lewen wanted to get the support of the Ma Chao family as soon as possible and get more capital to support the big man.

And Hongnong is a territory of Cao Cao, Cao Cao sent Cao Hong to guard Hongnong, at this time Cao Cao just a bit of a spearhead, most of his generals are children of the family, although his children are very powerful, but if you can take Hongnong, then it can be said to be a blow to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao does not think that Emperor Han Xian will attack his Hongnong, as long as you take Hongnong, you can convince the world, everyone has seen the ability of Emperor Han Xian, and will naturally look at Emperor Han Xian, so not only the Ma Chao family will support Lewen, Some virtuous ministers who are not optimistic about Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but have a great Han heart, will naturally come to join them.

Zhao Yan brought the dowry to Xiliang, as well as a letter from Ma Yunlu, Ma Teng's face was red and white for a while, and he said in his heart how the little emperor abducted his baby daughter, and looking at what Ma Yunlu said in the letter, it seems that it was not the emperor who coerced her.

No matter what, no matter what, my daughter has to marry someone after all, and marrying the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is also a glorious thing, but it is said that Emperor Han Xian is weak and incompetent, why does his daughter take a fancy to him......

At this time, because of the appearance of Lewen and the acceptance of the surrender of Li Dao and Guo Yan, history has changed, and Cao Cao's dream of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to shatter the princes' dreams.

However, history is still developing, and at this time Cao Cao's forces, Cao Cao led troops to suppress the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and received more than 300,000 soldiers.

Then Cao Cao re-established the ruined Luoyang, and then based on his hometown of Xuchang.

Speaking of Cao Cao, although Cao Cao is a generation of heroes, he also has many shortcomings.

First of all, this man is brutal. When he avenged his father and attacked Tao Qian, he slaughtered the city, and Surabaya did not flow. Cao Cao's subordinates Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren also had many records of slaughtering cities, and their massacres were also instructed by Cao Cao. When it comes to slaughtering the city, Liu Bei, who is known for his "benevolence", really has no stain. And to Sun Quan's side, the slaughter of the city was also a lot, in addition to attacking the Central Plains, Sun Quan also had to conquer the ethnic minorities in the mountains, for which he killed a lot of people. After the East Window Incident, Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng's daughter, the emperor's concubine Dong Guiren, Dong Guiren was pregnant with Liujia, and Emperor Han Xian interceded for her, which was not exempt. After the letter incident was exposed, he killed the queen and the prince and exterminated the clan. "Cao Cao's Biography" said that once during the day, Cao Cao took Ai Ji to sleep, and said before going to bed that he would wake him up after a while, but Ai Ji saw that Cao Cao was sleeping too soundly, and couldn't bear to wake him up, and when Cao Cao woke up himself, he was very angry when he saw that he had slept, and ordered the stick to kill this Ai Ji, and so on.

There is also the fact that he is very murderous, in addition to killing people, he also kills celebrities. In the early years, he killed the famous man Bian Rang, killed Yuan Zhong and Huan Shao, who had a holiday with him, Huan Shao knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Cao Cao said: "Can you avoid death by kneeling?" "Or kill. Kill dissidents Kong Rong. Old friend Xu You always showed off because of his official achievements, hurt Cao Cao's face, and was killed. Lou Gui, who was also an old friend and hero, was also killed because of his words that offended Cao Cao. In his later years, Xun Yu was forced to death and Cui Yan was unjustly killed. These accounts reflect the vicious side of Cao Cao's villain, which is diametrically opposed to his magnanimous side and seems very contradictory. Cao Cao forgave many people in his life, and even the famous white-eyed wolf Lu Bu wanted to forgive, but he still killed him because of Liu Bei's words. wanted to forgive Chen Gong, but Chen Gong didn't appreciate it. For Yuan Shao's loyal ministers, Fu Zhi also wanted to reuse it, but Fu Zhu only wanted to return to Yuan Ying, so he had to kill him. Liu Bei, another famous white-eyed wolf, was also too merciful, and as a result, the tiger returned to the mountain and raised the tiger for trouble. but they cannot forgive.

Then there is Cao Cao's lust and wife's fetish. Because of Zhang Xiu's aunt, Zhang Xiu rebelled; When Liu Bei fought Lu Bu back then, Guan Yu asked Cao Cao to give him Du Shi, the ex-wife of Qin Yilu, Lu Bu's subordinate, after breaking the city, Cao Cao also agreed at that time, and Guan Yu mentioned it repeatedly before the city was broken. Cao Cao became curious and wanted to see what kind of beauty it was, but when he saw that it was really a good product, he accepted it himself, which made Guan Yu feel uneasy. Qin Yilu's death is also related to taking his wife; Na He Yan's mother; He also married Yuan Xi's wife, Zhen Shixu, to Cao Pi.

There are also several shortcomings that have been clearly exaggerated

That is, his treachery. Of course, the official history also said that "Taizu is less alert and has the right to count, and Ren Xia is debauched and does not govern the industry", which is not a good thing, Cao Cao is like a cunning and idle second-rate son.

"Cao Concealment" said that when he was a child, he would pretend to be sick and deceive his uncle. Because Cao Cao was not doing his job properly and was idle when he was a child, his uncle often made small reports to his father. Cao Cao thought of a way to cure him. Once, when he saw his uncle coming over, he pretended to be paralyzed and his mouth was tilted to one side, and his uncle felt strange and asked him what was wrong. Cao Cao said: "I had a stroke. So his uncle went and told his father. His father was taken aback, and quickly called Cao Cao over, and when he saw that it was okay and normal, he asked him, "Didn't your uncle say that you had a stroke?" Cao Cao said: "I didn't have a stroke, my uncle didn't like me, so he framed me." So his uncle later called Cao Cao and his father no longer believed it, and Cao Cao became even more presumptuous. When Xu You came to defect, he didn't give the truth, first lied that the military rations could support one year, and then said that it was half a year, and only after repeated questioning did he tell the truth, which could only last for one month. When the war was fighting, the military rations were not enough, so what should the officials in charge of the granaries do? The little official said, "Then let's change the little bucket and send it down." Cao Cao also said okay. As a result, everyone quit, saying that Cao Cao bullied people and didn't give enough food. Cao Cao said to the little official: "So far, I can only borrow your head." Beheaded him, and ordered him out: "It's the little official in charge of the granary who changed the small bucket, and the official grain he stole is now killed." Only then did he appease the anger of the people.

There is also a record in "Offering the Emperor Spring and Autumn", saying that Cao Cao and Lü Bu lost the battle, and Lü Bu's soldiers caught Cao Cao but did not know that this was Cao Cao himself, and asked: "Where is Cao Cao?" Cao Cao lied to him and said, "The one who runs on that yellow horse is the one." So the soldier let go of Cao Cao and went after the man on the yellow horse, and Cao Cao was able to escape. Cao Cao had a lot of tricks in the military, such as tampering with letters to divide Han Sui and Ma Chao, etc., but as the saying goes, "soldiers are not tired of deceit", and military tricks are not enough as a negative case of Cao Cao's treachery. Ordinary people think that Cao Cao is treacherous because he is a traitor who usurped the Han, and of course a traitor is not a traitor. In fact, it is too true. There will inevitably be treacherous colors in Cao Cao's character, and the likes of "Cao Cao's Biography" and "Emperor Xian's Spring and Autumn Period" in Pei's note can also be used for reference, but in general, Cao Cao on "Three Kingdoms" is full of heroism and treacherous atmosphere.

Another is his suspicion, although this is a shortcoming, but suspicion is actually an advantage of Cao Cao, the most famous story is the killing of Lu Boyu's family. There are three versions of this story, one is Wang Shen's "Book of Wei", which is also the official version of Wei, saying that Cao Cao went to find his old friend Lü Bohao on the way to escape, Lü Bohao was not at home, his son and guests robbed Cao Cao's horses and belongings, Cao Cao rose up to defend himself, killed several people with his sword and left.

The second is "The Words of the Wei and Jin Dynasty", which also says that Cao Cao went to find Lu Bohao, Lu Bohao was not at home, his five sons were there, and he was polite to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao thought that he was a criminal of the imperial court, and suspected that they were going to harm him, so he left after killing eight people with a sword that night. Sun Sheng's "Miscellaneous Notes" is more eloquent on this basis, saying that Cao Cao heard the sound of pots and pans, and mistakenly thought that he was going to use weapons against himself, so he killed them at night, but found that he had killed them by mistake, and said very sadly: "I'd rather I fail others than others fail me!" ”

If the latter two versions are true, it does show that Cao Cao was suspicious at that time. Cui Yan's death can also show that Cao Cao is suspicious, Cui Yan's words "Provincial table, good thing!" When it comes to the times, when there is a change, I can't see any deep meaning. Cao Cao has a ghost in his heart, so he will be suspicious. Since ancient times, spy politics and literary injustice have been the specialties of authoritarian rulers, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Kangxi both like to engage in literary prisons. "The Biography of Cui Yan" clearly mentions that Cao Cao has a suspicious personality, and Kong Rong, Xu You, and Lou Gui are all the same as Cui Yan, who were killed because of their disrespect for Cao Cao. And "Cao Cao's Biography" even said that Cao Cao was jealous of his subordinates, and if the generals had a plan to beat themselves, they would find a reason to kill them. This is diametrically opposed to Cao Cao's love and cherishing of talents recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms". (To be continued.) )
