Chapter 1332: Your Goal Is in Rome
Diao Chan said: "Your Majesty should know that the people don't really care much about the power structure of the imperial court!" They are more concerned about their own lives and, at most, the glory of the Empire! Therefore there will be no resistance to this matter among the people! As for the courtiers, the most powerful reformers were at all His Majesty's staunchest followers, and it was impossible for them to run counter to His Majesty in this matter of benefiting the country and the people; And those old guards,"
Diao Chan pursed his lips and smiled, and glanced at Cao Cao charmingly, "Your Majesty, do you think they can make any big waves!" In fact, the smarter of them will support His Majesty's actions! ”
Cao Cao glanced at Diao Chan in surprise, and suddenly kissed it on the seductive red lips, "Cicada, I didn't expect you to be so, so!" ”
Diao Chan wrinkled her good-looking Qiong's nose, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, is Cicada an ignorant woman in your eyes?" "The appearance of light anger and anger is particularly charming. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Cao Cao laughed and said, "I've never thought of it like that! ”
Diao Chan threw a strange look that believed you.
Cao Cao sighed with emotion: "Cicada, your words can be described as waking up the dreamer!" Maybe I'm overthinking! Well, don't think about that! Cao Cao suddenly hugged Diao Chan, who was only wearing a light gauze, and Diao Chan hooked Cao Cao's neck with both hands, her beautiful eyes were full of charming*, her red lips opened and closed gently, with a mysterious rhythm teasing the most primitive flame in Cao Cao's heart.
The next day, on the temple of Fengtian.
When Cao Cao ordered Chen Gong to read out the will of reform, the hall was unexpectedly calm, of course the reformers did not object, but the conservative forces represented by Lord Dong and others did not oppose either, which made Cao Cao very surprised.
The court meeting ended peacefully.
Cao Cao and a group of cabinet ministers returned to the Qianqing Palace.
Cao Cao was surprised and said, "I didn't expect them to be like this!" It's so unexpected! ”
Cao Cao was referring to the old-fashioned forces in the court.
Chen Gong analyzed: "In fact, it is not surprising that such a situation occurs! After all, with the current situation, even if they oppose it, it is useless! ”
Cao Cao nodded and said with a sigh of relief: "That's fine!" It's finally over peacefully! ”
The cabinet ministers exchanged a look, and Xun Yu, who was cautious by nature, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, although this is the case, you can't take it lightly!" ”
"Hmm!"
Cao Cao nodded.
"Just let the guards keep an eye on them!"
Cao Cao ordered, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, "Hehe, it's actually inappropriate for me to say that now!" This is the power of your cabinet! ”
The cabinet ministers said: "Your Majesty will always be the Majesty of the Great Wei Empire, and the monarch of the ministers!" ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but show a touch of emotion, but in fact, he put down a trace of doubt in his heart, waved his hand, and said: "Since the national law has been formulated, then we must abide by it!" Otherwise, why make it! From today onwards, the civil affairs of the Great Wei Empire, except for economic powers, are all under the sole responsibility of the cabinet! You don't have to ask me for instructions, just give me a briefing afterwards! ”
The cabinet ministers exchanged embarrassed looks.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Slowly you will get used to it!" ”
Then he thought: "Actually, according to my meaning, I want to hand over the military power now!" However, the army is not as good as the locality, and if there is a problem in the locality, it can be impeached by forceful means, but if there is a problem in the army, it will be very serious! ”
The cabinet ministers nodded approvingly.
Cao Cao smiled, "But I still intend to accomplish all of this in my lifetime!" I am afraid that only by sitting in the hands can these policies be implemented smoothly and form an iron law that everyone agrees on! ”
After the discussion, Cao Cao returned to the harem and saw Cao Le and all the children concentrating on stacking blocks, they were comparing who could pile them faster, and Cai Yan and the others were cheering for the children on the side, and their excited appearance seemed to be more like children than children.
Cao Cao watched with interest.
Jin Guo.
The Kingdom of Jin has almost become a huge military camp, and almost all adult men of the Kingdom of Jin have received conscription orders or been ordered to become reserve soldiers.
Scenes of enthusiastic training were everywhere in the Jin Kingdom, and everyone was told that they were going to fight for their own survival and that of the Empire, and that the enemy was the mighty Wei Empire in the southeast.
The arsenal of the Jin State produced day and night, especially the catapults and heavy armor, the Jin people also wanted to form their own heavy armored troops in view of the terrible combat power of the powerful heavy armored troops of the Wei army in the previous war, but the cost of the heavy armored troops was very amazing, so the Jin State had to force the nobles to contribute to the empire, the Jin State can no longer afford this expense, the Jin State promised them many privileges in order to alleviate the resistance and hostility of the nobles as a result, one of which is very interesting, It promised the nobles ownership of many of the territories of what is now the Wei Empire.
At the same time, Empress Silan opened almost all of the country's markets to the Roman Empire in order to obtain funds, and also spent a lot of money to finance the smuggling trade to the Wei Empire, and she also realized that the smuggling trade was a shortcut to money.
Roman.
In the previous battles, the Roman Empire suffered heavy losses, and the entire huge military force against the Wei Empire almost completely collapsed.
In order to restore the vitality of the empire in the shortest possible time, Caracalla tried his best to restore the status of all war slaves, the so-called war slaves are the prisoners of war obtained by the Roman Empire during the war and the people of the empire who were taken captive, and the vast majority of the war slaves in Rome were actually their own people and prisoners of war.
These were basically obtained during the triwizard competition that year, and the total number was about two million, and a considerable number of them were warriors with war experience and strong men.
Caracalla was clearly trying to get their help once they were at Caracalla's disposal, and the Roman Empire would be able to restore most of its strength, although this was not an easy task.
Caracalla demanded that the empire's military factories devote themselves to the production of heavy equipment, just as the Wei army used.
In fact, Caracalla is also human nature for them to do this, the recent war of the Wei army and the heavy armor of the Modao army not only made the Roman Empire feel a fear that they had never felt before, but also they felt a great shame, especially the Greeks, the disparity of one hundred to one battle loss ratio is like a shame frame standing in the hearts of everyone.
Both the Roman Empire and the Jin Kingdom are rearming for war, and the current peaceful situation will not last long.
A month later, Cao Cao received an urgent dispatch from the West.
Cao Cao summoned all the cabinet ministers overnight.
Cao Cao raised the book in his hand and said with a serious expression: "The Romans have finally made a move!" He handed the handbook in his hand to Chen Gong.
After Chen Gong read it, he passed it on to others.
Chen Gong said: "Your Majesty, the actions of the Romans are not beyond our expectations! ”
Cao Cao nodded and frowned, "The question now is whether Alex and her army can resist!" ”
Xun Yu pondered: "The Romans did not send troops directly! There are only a limited number of troops to fight! And the Romans are far from recovering their vitality, and they have to guard against our threat! Therefore, it is impossible for them to invest too many troops! On the battlefield of Jerusalem, the Romans did not have an advantage in their forces! It is this so-called King of Jerusalem that worries people! ”
"Wechen is most worried about this so-called king of Jerusalem!" Xun Yu said worriedly.
Everyone couldn't help but nod.
Cao Cao said: "Wen Ruo is right! This King of Jerusalem is the real troublemaker! He is the true royal descendant of Jerusalem! Rightful heir to the throne of Jerusalem! His presence may lead to the division of Alex's army, and it will also divide the hearts and minds of the people of Jerusalem, causing chaos! ”
After a pause, "It seems that we have to find a way to restrain this plan of the Romans!" Why don't you let the Jinyi Guard deal with this matter, what do you think? ”
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, and Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty's plan is a good plan to cut through the mess with a quick knife!" But to do so, the entire royal house of Jerusalem must be destroyed! Otherwise, not only will it not work, but it will also make Alex and them fall into passivity! ”
Jia Xu was originally in the northern capital, but he returned to Chang'an half a month ago.
At present, the military and political affairs of the Northern Protectorate are under the sole responsibility of Zhang Jaw.
In terms of civil affairs, Tian Feng manages it.
The crowd nodded.
Cao Cao said: "It must be so! ”
Glancing at the cabinet ministers, he asked, "Do you have any better ideas?" ”
Everyone exchanged opinions in a low voice, and Chen Gong replied: "If you don't want to fight the Romans at this time, there is no better way!" ”
Cao Cao immediately said: "Since this is the case, then do it!" Spread the word! ”
After Yan Xing led a Jinyi Guard army to attack and kill several important technicians of the Jin Kingdom, he saw that it was no longer worthless to stay in the Jin Kingdom, so Yan Xing led the Jinyi Guard troops to leave the Jin Kingdom and returned to Chang'an only a month ago.
That operation was very important for the Wei army, if it hadn't been for that action, the Jin people were afraid that they had already used the Shenwei cannon in the battle not long ago, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
A moment later, the Shadow General Yan Xing came to the Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty!" Yan Xing saluted Cao Cao, his eyes full of admiration.
Cao Cao walked down the steps, helped Yan Xing up, and patted him on the shoulder, "How is it?" Are you ready to act? ”
Yan Xing replied sonorously: "I am willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty!" ”
"Good! Yan Xing, this mission is unusual! It's tough! Your goal is in Rome! (To be continued.) )
