Cao Cao flipped through the recital at hand, and when he saw that there was nothing urgent, he got up and said to Cui Yingying beside him: "Yingying, let's go back!" ”

Cui Yingying pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty, do you miss your mother?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yingying, you are really a roundworm in my stomach!" ”

Cui Yingying's face turned red. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cao Cao walked on the corridor of the harem, and Cui Yingying followed closely with small steps. The two came to the harem, but Diao Chan had already left, and the palace maid who stayed behind said: "Niangniang went to the piano shop with several noble concubines!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Then the Imperial Forest Army came to report to Xun Yu for a meeting, and Cao Cao turned around and went to the Qianqing Palace accompanied by Cui Yingying.

"Your Majesty!" Xun Yu saluted.

"No need to be polite! Wen Ruo, but for the sake of expanding the army? Cao Cao asked.

Xun Yu nodded, and reported: "Your Majesty, the 250,000 soldiers have been completed!" ”

The expansion of the two legions, that is, the 200,000 troops, the reason why 250,000 people were called up was for the needs of selection, that is, 50,000 people had to be eliminated.

Cao Cao was taken aback, "So fast? “

Xun Yu smiled: "Now the status of soldiers in society is very high!" And there are many benefits to making military achievements! Moreover, the treatment of the imperial court soldiers is also very good! Therefore, as soon as the list of troops came out, the respondents were like clouds! ”

"Hehehe, good! Wen Ruo, the next work is the focus! Be sure to train these two legions in half a year! ”

"Yes! Weichen will live up to His Majesty's trust! Xun Yu said with confidence.

"Your Majesty, Weichen will leave for the barracks in a while, and I am here to bid farewell to Your Majesty!"

Cao Cao got up and walked in front of Xun Yu and patted Xun Yu on the shoulder, "Wen Ruo, there are things to do, but you also have to pay attention to your body!" ”

Xun Yu couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and hugged his fists and promised.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing to explain, Weichen will retire!"

Cao Cao nodded, "You go!" If you have any need for baggage and materials, please go to Gongda, I have already explained! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Wechen retires! Immediately, Xun Yu saluted Cao Cao and withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

On the second day, early in the morning, Cao Cao, accompanied by Cui Yingying, trotted into the Fengtian Hall through the side door.

At this time, all the ministers of civil and military affairs were already waiting.

After a set of etiquette, a person immediately jumped out and said with a sad and indignant face: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”

Cao Cao glanced at the other party and knew in his heart, "It's Zhang Qing!" Go ahead! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Criminal Department has been unfair in enforcing the law in dealing with the issue of dealing with the guest inn!" Master Zhang said angrily.

As soon as he heard this, Li Tianke, the servant of the Criminal Department standing in the middle of the right column, couldn't sit still, and wanted to come out to argue, but was stopped by Chen Gongna's eyes on the side.

Cao Cao said indifferently: "I have already reviewed the case files of the Criminal Department, and there is no problem!" ”

"Your Majesty Mingjian, how could such a bloody case be committed by Li Dingbang alone?"

Turning his head to look at the cabinet ministers, he then said bitterly: "Your Majesty, if this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will be rampant!" ”

Cao Cao smiled indifferently, "Zhang Qing, what do you mean?" ”

When Lord Zhang heard this, he was overjoyed.

However, Lord Dong, who was standing in the ranks of the ministers, frowned and shook his head gently at Lord Zhang, but at this time, Lord Zhang, who was in an excited mood, did not pay attention to this side at all.

Master Zhang said solemnly: "Your Majesty, we must arrest Li Dingbang's classmates and students who supported his doctrine who were present at the time!" ”

Cao Cao smiled, "And then?" ”

"All of them will be punished by exile!"

Cao Cao laughed. Many of the ministers also couldn't help laughing, with a look of mockery on their faces.

Master Zhang glanced around blankly.

Cao Cao's expression was serious, "If I really do this, I will be raging!" ”

Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty! ”

Cao Cao interrupted him unceremoniously, "Zhang Qingjia, the handling of this matter is completely in line with the laws of the empire, and there is nothing inappropriate!" I've been reminded before,"

glanced at Master Zhang's party, "Don't make a big fuss about this matter!" You can't afford to do that! If anyone tries to take advantage of the internal strife in the Empire for personal gain, I will not mind killing them! ”

Mr. Zhang and his supporters couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.

Cao Cao said: "Do things on the right path!" Follow the laws of the Empire! Don't do crooked ways! Otherwise you'll regret it! ”

After a pause, he said meaningfully: "What's more, it's just different from the past, and the scholars are just rich and noble!" ”

Cao Cao means that the current scholar clan no longer has the appeal that it had in the people.

In fact, what if there is such a appeal? In today's rich and powerful society, there are simply not many people willing to betray the Empire!

"Yes, yes," Mr. Zhang promised.

"That's it! That's the end of it! If you are not convinced, go to the cabinet and appeal! Don't make a fuss about me! Retire! ”

"Yes!" Lord Zhang made a promise and hurriedly retreated into the ranks.

Then, Xi Zhi came out to report: "Your Majesty, the East Female Lord has arrived in Chang'an!" Request to see His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Cao Cao nodded, "The Eastern Female Country Lord is tired from afar, let's rest for a few days first!" Your cabinet arranged for them to go around Chang'an City! ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's good for them to see the prosperity of Chang'an and the strength of the Great Wei Empire!" ”

Xi Zhi understood, clenched his fists and promised, and then asked: "Your Majesty, can you let them visit some important places?" ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment, "Yes!" ”

smiled, "Except for the treasury of my Great Wei Empire, it's all right!" ”

The ministers thought Cao Cao was funny and couldn't help laughing.

Xi Zhi agreed and retreated.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Cao Cao and a group of cabinet ministers came to the Qianqing Palace.

"Gongtai, can there be military intelligence?" Cao Cao asked.

Chen Gong nodded, took out a letter from his sleeve, and presented it to Cao Cao, "Your Majesty, this is the information about Rome that I only received this morning!" ”

Cao Cao looked at it, frowned and nodded, "The expansion of the Roman army is also expected!" Thirty legions, that's an army of one and a half million! And after the expansion of our army, the total strength of the army is about this number! What about the situation on the Kim side? ”

Chen Gong replied: "There is no latest information yet!" Nothing should change! ”

Xun Yu hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know whether to say anything or not!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Wen Ruo just say it!" ”

"Your Majesty, I think our policy is a little wrong!" Xun Yu said bluntly.

Cao Cao frowned and asked, "Wen Ruo is talking about the current foreign policy?" ”

Xun Yu nodded, "Your Majesty, it's really unwise for us to be enemies of the two empires at the same time!" Something has to be done to change that! ”

Cao Cao nodded and said with a wry smile: "You are willing!" We don't want to be enemies with them, but they are determined to join forces against us! ”

Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, we have discussed this matter!" ”

"Oh? Do you have any ideas? Cao Cao asked curiously.

Everyone smiled, Xun Yu hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, we thought that it was possible to reach an understanding with the Jin country!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and motioned for Xun Yu to continue.

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, our idea may be a little difficult!" ”

Cao Cao said impatiently: "As long as it is beneficial to the empire, it will be difficult to do it!" Wen Ruo, don't sell it! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, if we return the occupied provinces of Nampoli and Yukan to the Kingdom of Jin, then we will be able to turn the eyes of the people of the Kingdom of Jin from us to the Romans! ”

Cao Cao frowned, did not speak, was silent for a moment, and nodded: "This is indeed a way!" It's just"

Glancing at everyone, "It's just that the empire has never given up the precedent of territory!" I'm worried."

"Your Majesty is worried about the reaction of the people?" Chen Gong asked.

Cao Cao nodded and said with a wry smile: "It's not good when the people's morale is low, but the people's morale is too high, and sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing!" ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao pondered: "The so-called 'take a step back and open the sky', your suggestion is very good!" However, we also have to consider the reaction of the government and the opposition! If this is not handled well, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses! Of course, we can ignore the reaction of the government and the opposition, but this is obviously not wise! ”

The cabinet ministers nodded, and there was a look of depression on everyone's faces.

Cao Cao thought of the so-called public opinion building and propaganda in later generations, and he had an idea, "You don't think this will work!" We first sent a secret envoy to contact the Jinguo side, and at the same time made some public opinion preparations in the country! ”

The cabinet ministers glanced at each other blankly and looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao smiled and explained his plan.

The cabinet ministers showed emotion, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Cao Cao smiled; "It seems that you agree with my plan?"

The cabinet ministers nodded, their faces admiring.

Chen Gong said: "Your Majesty's plan is really just right!" Use public opinion against public opinion! Yu admires it so much! ”

The others nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little secretly proud, it was really a cool thing to be able to make Chen Gong, one of the three major military divisions, sincerely admire!

In fact, the reason why Cao Cao could think of it but Chen Gong didn't think of it was not because Cao Cao was smarter than them, if he really wanted to talk about resourcefulness, Cao Cao couldn't compare to anyone present, but he had more than 2,000 years of knowledge than anyone present.

With such an advantage, as long as you are not an idiot, you will often come up with amazing schemes.

Jia Xu, a guy who likes to play intrigue and trickery, thought with a hint of excitement: "Your Majesty's plan is wonderful, but the operation must be meticulous and cautious!" Otherwise, not only will it not have the desired effect, but it may backfire! ”

Cao Cao exchanged a tacit glance with the other cabinet ministers. (To be continued.) )
