Chapter 421
Zhao Fei's purpose in coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion was to explain everything to Cao Cao. Although, Zhao Fei believed in Cao Cao very much, thinking that he would not doubt himself. But there are some things that are best explained straightforwardly.
After all, now that he and Cao Cao have a strong brotherhood, Zhao Fei doesn't want the relationship between the two to be somewhat resentful because of this. And Zhao Fei believes that even if he doesn't say some things, Cao Cao will be clear, after all, Xuchang is Cao Cao's territory, and there is something to hide from his eyes.
When he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao Cheng sat in the study calmly and looked at the bamboo slips. After Zhao Fei entered the study, Cao Cao put down the bamboo slip in his hand.
Looking up at Zhao Fei, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said, "Pengju is here." Cao Cao's tone was very flat, but these only four words were true. Obviously, Cao Cao knew that Zhao Fei must come back to find him.
In this regard, Zhao Fei's performance was very flat. In his opinion, it was a matter of course. In his own nest, if there is anything else that can hide from Cao Cao's eyeballs, then Cao Cao's prime minister will really do it.
"If you don't come, you can't do it, the emperor invited me into the palace for such a big thing, if I don't tell the prime minister, I will have trouble sleeping." Zhao Fei said with a smile.
Seeing Zhao Fei's slightly scoundrel expression, Cao Cao also shook his head helplessly. However, for Zhao Fei's honesty, Cao Cao also likes it from the bottom of his heart.
For Zhao Fei, Cao Cao had an indescribable feeling. Because Cao Cao knew that Zhao Fei's ability was definitely above him. But such a person is wholeheartedly helping himself.
To put it mildly, with Zhao Fei's ability, if he wasn't following his command, then he must be his fierce rival. As far as Zhao Fei's ability is concerned, he definitely has the ability to leave a great reputation in this troubled world.
With Zhao Fei's intelligence and ability, it is absolutely extremely simple to achieve a career in troubled times. In Cao Cao's view, Zhao Fei has the appearance of splitting the land and sealing the king. With Zhao Fei's ability, he is definitely a strong party in this troubled world.
And such a character is committed to his own command. This made Cao Cao very happy and relieved. However, since Cao Cao knew that Zhao Fei had such a talent, he was somewhat jealous of Zhao Fei. After all, where Zhao Fei's ability is, if he is not careful, he may make a big mistake.
However, Zhao Fei proved with his own performance that Cao Cao's ideas were really a bit too much. Because since Zhao Fei took refuge in himself, he has not made any overstepping his authority. It's not just that he doesn't, but Zhao Fei simply regards rights as dung.
Every time he thought of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel relieved. Getting to know Zhao Fei back then was definitely the most correct thing to do in his life. But even so, Cao Cao still didn't dare to be too relieved. After all, Zhao Fei's influence is too great, in addition to his own henchmen and generals, many powerful generals have a direct relationship with Zhao Fei.
Not to mention the distance, but Xu Chu, the captain of the guards beside him, Zhao Fei has the grace of knowing him. If Zhao Fei really had a rebellious heart one day, who did Xu Chu listen to, I am afraid that Cao Cao would not have confidence in his heart.
You must know that Xuchang is a person who is concerned with his own life, and he is the closest to himself. If he wanted to kill himself, Cao Cao had absolutely no chance of fighting back. Therefore, Cao Cao has no confidence in the safety of his life, so who can he trust.
After experiencing the last fiasco, Cao Cao knew that only selfish people could live well in such troubled times. Moreover, the thing of vigilance will never disappear, even if it is an incomparable trust in people, but vigilance must exist.
One loose and one tight, being a person needs to be a little capricious, if you are too single-minded, you will definitely not be able to live long in this troubled era. And Cao Cao didn't want to die early, so he needed some means to save his life.
"Okay, don't mess around here, I think I'll be a dignified master, then I have so much time to take care of your." Cao Cao waved his hand and said. Now that Zhao Fei had confessed to himself, Cao Cao had no interest in continuing the discussion.
Zhao Fei looked at Cao Cao, who didn't care, and was very helpless in his heart. But the reason why Cao Cao is like this is not also a sign of his trust. Since Cao Cao said so, Zhao Fei was also happy, but Zhao Fei did not leave directly.
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Fei and asked, "You Taiwei Zhao is very idle, but I'm very busy, if you ignore it, let's leave first." ”
Looking at Cao Cao, Zhao Fei opened his mouth and said: "This matter is strange, this Liu Bei was just considered the emperor's uncle, but he didn't expect to come up and take my army." ”
"As we all know, I don't even go to the court, and since the last time, Emperor Xian doesn't care about me, but today I don't know what he listened to Liu Bei, and he actually remembered to let me accompany him to dinner." Zhao Fei squinted his eyes and said, at this time, he had some killing intent in his heart.
What Liu Bei was thinking, Zhao Fei was very clear. So for Liu Bei, Zhao Feng at this time was even more disgusted. If it was possible, Zhao Fei really had the heart to kill that Liu Bei.
But now, this idea is really a little impossible. Because, at this time, Liu Bei was already an imperial uncle. Although Liu Bei's imperial uncle did not have much power, his reputation had spread throughout Xuchang City along with the holy decree.
If Zhao Fei really killed him, even if this thing was done very secretly, people would put everything on Cao Cao's head, saying that Cao Cao was jealous of his ability and that he had killed members of the royal family. If this kind of reputation is ready to spread, the impact on the Cao family will definitely be huge.
Moreover, this Liu Bei really needs to be kept. If he didn't muddy the waters of Xuchang, then how could Cao Cao fish in troubled waters. There is no war now, and the most important thing is to stabilize the internal situation.
Now that the Xuchang family has basically prepared Zhao Fei to purge it, any family that has the slightest change will be closely monitored by Cao Jun. If there is evidence, they will face a devastating blow. So under Zhao Fei's high pressure, there are no more families in Xuchangcheng who dare to argue with Cao Jun.
The family is honest, but it doesn't mean that Emperor Xian and these people around Emperor Xian are honest. Others are very easy to say, especially the father-in-law of the emperor, Dong Cheng is a quite active figure.
In the name of offering the emperor, he went around recruiting ministers from the court. For the sake of Qingjun's side. However, now that the whole of Xuchang is in Cao Cao's hands, his effect is indeed much worse.
