Cao Cao, that is the peerless hero who will completely end the Han Dynasty in the future, does he want to nip it in the bud?

Liu Zhi touched his chin with one hand, looked at Cao Teng who was smiling, and secretly rubbed his thoughts.

Cao Teng was inexplicable, and he always felt that Liu Zhi's eyes were a little unclear, and he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart.

Then he laughed unconsciously, he was brainwashed by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

What are you afraid of, if he ends the chaos and brings peace and prosperity to the world, Cao Cao can't do it even if he has great ability.

If he is incapable and can't change the course of history, then it's no wonder that someone will replace him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, "Very good, bring me to see it when you have time, and give him a background." ”

It is said that Cao Song once worshiped Taiwei when he was Emperor Ling, although he bought it with money, he was also a master of collecting money.

You must know that Cao Teng has been honest and self-reliant all his life, and he attaches great importance to his reputation, even if he is in a high position, he has not left much money behind.

And when Cao Song bought the position of Tai Lieutenant, he spent 100 million yuan, not counting the money bribed by the Middle Palace, which shows that there is a way to make money.

He was really curious about being able to raise a hero like Cao Cao, and what kind of person Cao Song was.

When Cao Teng heard Liu Zhi's words, he was finally relieved, it seemed that the emperor still planned to continue to use him.

"The kid is stupid, he just closed my eyes."

Packed up the curiosity, Liu Zhi returned to business, Cao Teng had outstanding ability, and he stayed in the position of Zhongchang waiter, and he was buried.

And he deliberately changed the situation of the eunuchs, so that their vision was not limited to the inner court, so that they became more and more narrow-minded.

"You're here just in time, in fact, I have something to look for you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Cao Teng's spirits lifted, it's good to have something, he has been idle for more than a month, and if he continues like this, I'm afraid he will only have to withdraw from the center of power.

"Captain Zhang Biao will be transferred to Guangluxun, I am interested in you taking over, I don't know what you think?"

"Your Majesty, you ......"

Cao Teng looked up at him in shock, Captain Sili is a very powerful position, but the crux of the matter is that this is a serious official position.

If he can be appointed as the lieutenant of the school, it will also mark that he has left the category of eunuchs, and has officially entered the outer court and become an upright scholar.

This is something that I have dreamed of all my life, but I didn't expect it to fall on my head so suddenly.

"What, Cao Gong is unwilling?"

Liu Zhi saw that he had mixed feelings, so he teased.

"Minister Cao Teng, thank Your Majesty, I am willing to serve the great Han for the work of dogs and horses!"

Cao Teng raised his eyebrows with his hands and bowed, his expression was sacred and solemn, he had read poetry and books all his life, and he was awe-inspiring, but he was confined to the identity of a eunuch and could not show his strengths.

But from this moment on, he Cao Teng will also take advantage of the momentum to take off, build a meritorious career, and leave a name in history.

"Sit down, I don't know what Gong Cao thinks about the current trend in the world?"

Liu Zhi wants to listen to the opinions of many parties, so that when formulating the reform plan, there is a basis for it.

"If disasters occur so many times today, many people have lost their land and their livelihoods are struggling, and they can only become slaves or take risks."

Cao Teng was born in an ordinary family, and later his family suffered misfortune and poverty, so he understands the lives of the people at the bottom better, and also empathizes with their miserable situation.

"Yes, natural disasters can be avoided, but man-made disasters are also very harmful, and the people just want to fill their stomachs, what is the crime?"

Compared with modern times, the life of ordinary people in this era is simply miserable, and they are thankful that they can barely make ends meet all year round.

Class divisions were severe, the vast majority of money was in their hands, land annexation intensified, and large numbers of the population became their domestic servants.

The population of the Eastern Han Dynasty is decreasing year by year, in fact, many of them have become slaves, this phenomenon, those ministers and doctors from families, even if they know it in their hearts, will not say it.

Only Cao Teng, who has no worries and a clean breeze on his sleeves, dares to sigh angrily in front of the emperor.

Seeing that Liu Zhi seemed to agree with his opinion, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Your Majesty has eliminated maladministration in the inspection system, and only has the atmosphere of the second emperor Wenjing, does Your Majesty also intend to reform the land policy?"

Liu Zhi nodded, "Naturally, I want to change it, but I don't have a clue, I don't know what Cao Gong suggests?" ”

"At that time, Emperor Guangwu sent people to re-inventory the land of the whole country and nationalize those who forcibly occupied it.

Then it was redistributed to the displaced people, with light taxes, reduced forced labor, and recuperation, and finally achieved the prosperity of peace. ”

Cao Teng's thinking is relatively old-fashioned, advocating ancient rites, and it can be seen that he is very yearning for the era of Emperor Guangwu.

It's a pity that such a drastic approach can only be done by a founding emperor like Emperor Guangwu.

With a shallow foundation like him, without the support of strength, he can't move the family at all.

So Cao Teng's strategy, it's good to listen to it, but what he wants is the other party's position, and it's good to know it in his heart.

"Well, Emperor Guangwu is indeed eloquent and strategic, and he is a model for our descendants."

Liu Zhi said nonchalantly, and then the two chatted about the personnel changes in the court.

Since Cao Teng entered the palace, he has experienced six generations of emperors, and there are four who have really served, so he can be said to be an absolute patriarch.

If you want to talk about the various personnel relations between the inner and outer courts, it is difficult for him not to be familiar with them, and at this time, Liu Zhi knows a lot of secrets.

Cao Teng was on duty tonight, so it was quite convenient to chat with him until late.

Liu Zhi's heart moved, and he thought that there would be officials on duty in the palace in Zhongshu Province in the future to facilitate any sudden situation.

In the Han Dynasty, only eunuchs would be on duty at night, so the Zhongchang attendants also took on the liaison between the emperor and the outer court.

But the biggest drawback of this system is that the eunuchs deceived left and right, and even cut off the connection between the two sides during the special period, and carried out palace changes without the knowledge of the courtiers.

It seems that he has to change from this point first, and I believe that Shang Shutai is also happy to strengthen the connection with the emperor, which is equivalent to further strengthening their power.

Back then, the Zhongchang servant couldn't be canceled for the time being, but now most of these eunuchs are loyal to him on the surface, so they can only find a way to slowly weaken it.

What's more, in the short term, he also needs the power of the eunuch group to contain and balance the scholar group in the court.

Only when the assessment system is perfected and the poor class rises to the point where they can compete with them can he deal with them.

Of course, as long as he doesn't do anything wrong, he Liu Zhi is not a person who crosses the river and demolishes bridges, at least he will ensure that they are rich and safe.

The two talked secretly late at night, and Cao Teng left at this time, and his actions naturally quickly attracted the attention of other forces.

On the second day, Liu Zhi officially issued an edict to transfer Cao Teng out of the Zhongchang Servant and reappointed him as the lieutenant of Sili, which set off a monstrous wave in the court for a while.

Most of the ministers, led by Huang Qiong and others, were opposed, and they wrote to him to revoke the edict.

It is a great shame that people who speak fiercely, are full of righteous indignation, and keep saying that they are eunuchs and are incomplete, how can they stand side by side with them in the court.

Among them, even his close courtier Shangshu Ling Yuan Xu, it can be seen that this matter has touched their bottom line.
