Chapter 212: Cao Cao is anxious to say big things 4/5
As a martial artist, Zhao Meng was very disgusted with the literati in power. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info▽◇Tomato☆novel☆网w-w'w'.'Don't look at these ministers when they see themselves respectful, in their hearts, they will not treat anything really as a dish at all.
In the affairs of the military state, they regard it as a child's play, and would rather talk about the ups and downs than bother to analyze the pros and cons.
When it was, the treasury simply became the Ling Emperor's ATM. His own life, arrogant and lascivious, military affairs, but also the people who fought the war to bear the responsibility, without the beginning of the Zhao family, it is estimated that the Cao family will not have this intention.
Although there is a gap between the current Cao family and the Zhao family in terms of financial resources, their family occupies 30% of the land of the Zhao family in their hometown, and they are an out-and-out big family, and they can still afford some military funds.
Besides, whether it is in the Northern Frontier or the Western Regions, fighting a war can generally be fed by war. How the Hu people treated the Han people, the Han people would treat the Hu people, killing the Hu people, and plundering their goods was normal in the eyes of the warriors.
In Jiaozhou, Zhao Yun didn't dare to loot on a large scale, after all, this would be his foundation in the future.
As for Cao Cao to fight the Western Regions, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's not my race, there is no food and no mounts, just grab it. ▽Tomato ◇ w'w'
"The head of the family, someone came to visit, saying that the third prince sent him." As soon as he arrived home, Zhao Meng hadn't even taken a break.
Seeing Hui Cheng, he was a little disgusted, Yun'er was the master of the house, and it was decided by the people of the ancestral land. Even if he is the patriarch of the Zhao family, it is invalid to raise objections, after all, this is a good thing in the eyes of others.
"Tell me, what do you want the old man to do for you?" Zhao Meng lacked interest and had to cheer up.
Dealing with literati is tiring, at first in Cui's family, Cui Lie occasionally said a word, and had to think twice.
Otherwise, it would be known that the head of the Zhao family was uneducated. Anyway, the nominal Sang Zi can't be taken seriously, and the Cui family has never regarded themselves as Jizhou people, they can even suppress the Gongsun family in the western part of Youzhou, so why come to Jizhou to muddy the waters.
"Grandpa, the juniors don't have much insight." Hui Cheng was stunned for a moment, and didn't know why this old man didn't seem to be a little interested in himself, so he took out Zhao Yun's letter: "Actually, everything Cheng did was arranged by the handsome. Tomato ○☆ Novel △ Net ☆.'.-"
Oh? Zhao Meng asked his subordinates to take the letter without looking at it, no longer speaking, and carefully looked at the person in front of him, and he was very standard.
I can't help but say that this era is an era of brushing faces, and it will not be exempt from vulgarity. Among their sons, because Zhao Yun has a national face, he meets the standards of a martial artist.
In his heart, Zhao Meng has some preference for his second son, otherwise how could he not be happy to split up? But don't ask him, he won't say anything like this.
"I heard that you were a Jiaozhi Taishou before," Zhao Meng nodded secretly when he saw his pampered appearance: "Why does Yun'er Shangshu think that you are not suitable to be a Taishou, and still do things for him?" ”
He's really weird, at least he's not done anything so successful so far.
"Dashuai's analysis is correct," Hui Cheng disagreed: "Cheng Cheng came from a poor family, and he received less education since he was a child. Or as the marshal said, I can teach students, but I am not a good ruler. ”
The two then chatted for a long time, probably Zhao Meng was asking, and Hui Cheng was replying, he hadn't seen his second son for a long time. After the children left Luoyang last year, in order to take the emperor hostage and dispel his doubts, they never returned home for the New Year.
I have heard a lot of things about Zhao Yun, and sometimes, the words in the letter are as good as what others say?
"Do you know Cao Mengde?" Zhao Meng was very satisfied, and finally changed his words.
"There is no official meeting," Hui Cheng hesitated: "After all, in the hearts of the military and civilians in Jiaozhou, the marshal is the most important person." Before that, he couldn't take advantage of his talents, and he was too guarded by Jiaozhi, so he wouldn't go to see him. ”
"But it's not without an impression that in some of the things I heard in the South China Sea, this person was indomitable."
"In the face of the defense line left by the aristocrat Zhao Tuogong, he was defeated again and again, but he still held on and never took half a step back. Later, under the dispatch of the marshal, he turned to Panyu and reversed the form in one fell swoop. ”
Zhao Meng was taken aback, it seemed that he was wrong, and he didn't expect that this son still had his own light under Zhao Yun's suppression, which should not be underestimated. In this way, I really have to do it myself.
At this moment, Cao Cao and his entourage were shocked to see the plaque of Geng's mansion and couldn't help sneezing. ▽□Fan△Eggplant▽w'w'
"Lord, are you infected with the wind cold?" Cheng Yu was a little worried, this time in Luoyang has not been smooth, he is afraid that Cao Cao will fall. After all, there is a talented person in Jiaozhou, and he is also worried about it.
If it is possible to march westward, who will Cao Jun's military advisor Zhonglang give up himself? The literati loved this fame.
In the first year of Yongping, Geng Yi died at the age of fifty-six and was called a marquis.
Subsequently, the head of the Geng family was Geng Zhong, Geng Feng, Geng Liang, Geng Xie, Geng Ba, Geng Wenjin, Geng Xi, Geng Xian, and the current head of the family, Geng Yuan, was once the Taishou of Hedong, and the brother-in-law of Emperor Huan, and his wife was the princess of Changshe.
Cao Cao didn't pay attention, his head was recalling the history of the Geng family, and he slowly shook his head: "No." Although Luoyang is cooler than Jiaozhou, I am now a second-rate martial artist, so I will not be cold because of the regional differences in climate. ”
"Brother Zhongde, you said that Han Xin commented on Xiang Yu in front of Liu Bang, and carefully anticipated the situation in Chu and Han, so he knew that Gaozu would win."
"Geng Yigong made a decision on Hebei, planned Nanyang, and also saw that Guangwu's imperial industry would be successful. However, since Geng Yi attacked Quanqi, he has not made any new achievements. Do you not want to make new contributions? Or was it that the law at that time did not allow him to make new contributions? ”
"The third generation is a general, the Taoists think it is inauspicious and taboo, but the Geng family can die with fame for generations, is the Geng family's use of soldiers to kill to stop killing? Why can it be that it alone can prosper? ”
Cheng Yu hadn't thought about this question, and even if he thought about it, he might not know the answer.
"Well, it's a casual question." Cao Cao was a little depressed: "I didn't expect that the old Hedong Taishou would be stubborn." It seems that in his eyes, the Geng Mansion is more prominent than the Duwei Mansion! ”
Indeed, after Cao Teng's death, the Cao family not only wanted to wash away the traces of the descendants of the eunuchs, but also wanted to restore the grand occasion of Cao Shen Xiahou Ying at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty.
Presumably, when the two seniors were alive, they wouldn't have taken a broken horse lieutenant in their eyes.
When Emperor Huan was alive, no matter how powerful his grandfather Cao Teng was, he was a eunuch who was the emperor's subordinate.
When Emperor Ling succeeded to the throne, Cao Teng was meritorious in the process of helping Liu Hong gain power, but unfortunately Liu Hong was only twelve years old and lost the opportunity to marry the Cao family, otherwise the Cao family might really be a relative of the emperor.
When Emperor Ling ascended the throne, he was too young, and some things needed to be taken care of and guided by eunuchs, and the eunuchs intimidated them to make them trust them more, so Liu Hong relied extremely on eunuchs.
He set up twelve permanent attendants, namely Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Li Song, Duan Qi, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, and Song Dian, who are now known as the "Ten Standing Attendants".
Not only were these people rewarded with marquis, but even their fathers, brothers, and sons were sent to various states and counties to serve as officials. They controlled the government and were extremely prosperous, and the mediocre Emperor Ling of Han even said to people: "Zhang Changshi is my father, and Zhao Changshi is my mother." ”
After the eunuchs were dictatorial, they implemented a dictatorship throughout the country. As long as they are the slightest dissatisfied, they will falsely accuse and frame, or exile and imprisonment, or dismiss officials and go to prison, or kill and exterminate the people, and do whatever it takes.
Economically, the annexation of land, the desire to occupy all the good land, mountains, forests, lakes and rivers in the world as their own, killing people and goods, and taking advantage of the rich, is no different from robbers; In life, corruption and erosion are squandered.
They also guided Emperor Ling's desolation, teamed up with Emperor Lingdi to sell officials in the West Garden, and dominated Emperor Lingdi to drive out the good and help the evil, thus destroying the normal ruling order, rapidly aggravating social contradictions, and finally breaking out the nationwide Yellow Turban Uprising.
Of course, the Geng family is not clear about the next things, but once a son of heaven and a courtier, Geng Yuan resigned and went into hiding after Liu Hong took power.
Cao Cao asked the young Cao Ren to take the famous thorn, and said that the general of the Han Zhengxi came to pay a visit, and he was also curious about the Geng family, who had always been high. (To be continued.) )
