The princess's expression changed.

Naturally, it also fell into Cao Ang's eyes.

He knew that what he said just now had a great impact on Liu Huan, making his impression of himself go up several floors in an instant.

Cao Ang felt that the heat was almost over.

He immediately said: "It is precisely because of the growing strength of the powerful landlords that no one can restrain them, resulting in more and more land in their hands, and less and less land that the people themselves can cultivate. ”

"Therefore, as long as there is a natural disaster, a large number of people will be displaced, sold their children, and even starved all over the land, buried next to the bones."

"And once the people can't survive, as long as there are people who can lead them, there will be such a mighty chaos like moth thieves and ant thieves that will sweep the world, which will also exacerbate the danger of the Han family."

Speaking of which.

Cao Ang casually picked up a battle report from the table and handed it to Princess Wannian.

Then he continued: "If the Ant Thief Rebellion breaks out casually, it is hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, and when half of the Great Han River is in the midst of war, how can the imperial court have the ability to suppress it? ”

"In addition, the imperial court has been trapped in a situation where eunuchs, relatives, courtiers and other forces have been fighting with each other all the year round, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, so how can they have time to pay attention to the rebellion of some leaders."

"I can only let the local government recruit soldiers and horses on its own, and form its own army to resist, and there are private soldiers relying on clans and counties everywhere in the world."

"In this way, the local government is getting stronger and stronger, and the imperial court is getting weaker and weaker because of internal friction."

"In addition, when the first emperor was there, he established the position of state pastor, which led to the alienation of the relationship between the imperial court and the local government, which directly affected the state level."

"The imperial court was disconnected from the prefectures and counties almost at the same time, and the localities were no longer under the control of the central government, which was a bad consequence of the huge power of the landlords."

……

In fact, there are reservations about this.

The decline and decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty was due to the growth of landlord power and the increasing intensification of land annexation.

There are many, many reasons.

For example, the monopoly of academic knowledge, the family of gate valves firmly controls the right to interpret the scriptures, and the middle and lower class people don't even know a few words.

Powerful polarization is also the reason why the dynasty loses its vitality and rapidly corrupts.

Plus class solidification.

The selection of talents mainly depends on inspection, and the talents recommended by the local Taishou will only be the children of the local scholars, or the famous people, and will never recommend the people.

The head of the Qianqian will always be the head of the Qian, and as long as the aristocratic bureaucrats do not change, they will always be aristocratic bureaucrats.

It's okay that it's short.

After a long time, there is a big problem.

There is no upward channel for the middle and lower classes, and the upper class will always have so many surnames, and it is difficult not to be corrupted.

Of course.

There is no need to tell the princess about these reasons, if you talk too much, it will not work well.

After keeping it, little by little the princess's appetite will be hung, this is the way of the long stream!

……

And in fact, after hearing Cao Ang's words.

Liu Huan's face was already full of shock.

There is no need for Cao Ang to make a summary now, Liu Huan can already give the answer in her heart.

The huge power of the landlords and the unrestrained growth of the landlords are the root cause of the danger of the Han Dynasty!

This conclusion made her break out in a cold sweat.

It turned out that the ideas she had always held were wrong, and she still claimed to be a capable person, but she didn't expect her vision to stay on the surface.

Before today.

If someone told Liu Huan that the root of the Han family's demise was at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Her Royal Highness the Princess would not believe it no matter what.

This is challenging the preconceived notions in her heart!

In the hearts of the people of the world.

Emperor Guangwu reorganized the rivers and mountains and rebuilt the Han Dynasty.

It is definitely the holy lord who can be called a generation of Ming Jun.

The Han Dynasty has fallen to this point, and it will only be because future generations do not work hard and lose the foundation left by their ancestors.

How could there be any connection with the great ancestor of Shengming himself?

Yet at this moment.

Cao Ang whipped into the layers of analysis, and put the cause and effect in front of him in a convincing manner, so Her Royal Highness the princess couldn't believe it.

As long as you have a certain level of people.

Think about it.

It can be seen that what Cao Ang said is true, and it is by no means a nonsense with his eyes closed, but a factual basis.

And it just so happens that Princess Wannian is not an ignorant fool, she is an excellent woman with independent thinking ability and a certain political level.

So under deep thought.

Liu Huan suddenly discovered.

It seems like that's what it is!

For more than 100 years, successive generations of emperors have been powerless against this interest group.

It seems that this pot really has to be carried by Emperor Guangwu.

Of course.

It's not that the old ancestor can't do it, but the old ancestor can't do anything about it.

As soon as he came to power, he turned around and laid a butcher's knife at the landlords who supported him.

Second, even if you want to.

There are also a lot of constraints.

The whole world relies on this group of people, and striking at the landlords is the cornerstone of the dynasty, and it is very likely that this interest group has not yet been cracked down, and the Han Dynasty, which has just been revived, may have collapsed first.

After figuring this out.

The look revealed in Liu Huan's eyes gradually changed from confusion and confusion to enlightenment.

Looking at Cao Ang's eyes.

I couldn't help but feel a little admiration and approval.

Able to speak the truth that others can't say, and see where others can't see with their eyes.

Isn't this a sign of amazing talent?

……

Liu Huan immediately stood up.

He bowed straight to Cao Ang.

There was a lot of emotion on his face: "I have asked many talented and knowledgeable people how to save the decline of the Han Dynasty." ”

"They all told me that after exterminating a usurper thief like Dong Zhuo, they would pacify the Yellow Turban thieves, and then the Manchu Dynasty would assist the Son of Heaven and let the Son of Heaven carry out many enlightened and holy actions."

"In this way, we will be able to support the community and rejuvenate the Han world."

"Now it seems that these people are just vulgar and superficial people, and their thoughts and words have no depth, compared with General Cao, they are really not as good as you!"

Don't skimp on your own beautiful words.

And Cao Ang is naturally humble.

It's just that in my heart, I can't help but laugh secretly.

There are a lot of talents in the Han Dynasty, and there are even more smart people, it is impossible that no one sees this, but they will not say it when they see it.

Since Princess Wannian said that he was asking talented and knowledgeable people, then these guys must have been born in a scholar clan or a family, which in itself is a vested interest and a part of the local forces.

Liu Huan went to ask these people, that is basically equivalent to a waste of effort, can people tell Her Royal Highness the princess, is the crisis of the Han Dynasty precisely because of our group of people?

Therefore, even if you know where the roots are.

It will never be spoken.

Cao Ang is different.

He is destined to be a man who has to go to the highest step, and these people from the family will definitely fight after Cao Ang takes power in the future.

Especially the landlord forces.

It is unjustifiable that it will undermine the rule of a country and affect the long-term stability of the country.

So Cao Ang didn't care.

This is also the reason why he dared to speak up to the princess.

……

And after some emotion.

Liu Huan did not forget her original intention and found the problem, which is important, but the ultimate goal is to solve the problem.

Therefore, Liu Huan couldn't help but ask.

"General Cao, since you have seen the root cause of the bane, you must have a good plan in your chest."

"Dare to ask what we should do to completely cut off this bane that has been planted more than 100 years ago, and return the world to a clear and peaceful world?"

Cao Ang raised his right hand without hesitation.

Then he made a vertical chopping motion downward.

"The only way to break it is to break it with force!"

"Since Emperor Guangwu re-established the Han Dynasty, it has been more than 100 years, and the landlords have long been intertwined, and the various family forces in the world are connected to each other, weaving a huge and dense network."

"If you want to dismantle this net through ordinary means, then I am afraid that as soon as the decree is issued, the voices of opposition will already be like a tsunami, and nothing can be done in the end."

"Therefore, only by completely overthrowing everything and shattering the pattern of the world, this net will be self-defeating, and after the universe is cleared, the rivers and mountains will be reorganized, then the world can be determined, and the Han family should be revived!"

……

Cao Ang didn't actually say anything specific.

It's just talking about his own program of action.

But that's enough.

Anyway, Liu Huan listened to the beautiful eyes with brilliance.

She immediately leaned forward.

With a look of anticipation on his face, he asked, "So General Cao, right now you are walking on such a road, practicing the idea of overthrowing everything?" ”

Cao Ang nodded heavily.

Then he stood up and stood with his hands in his hands.

Said quite impassionedly.

"What the princess said is true, the reason why my father and I are forging ahead bravely is precisely to use the land of Yanzhou to defeat many ambitious people in the world."

"Sweeping away Liuhe, sweeping the Eight Desolations, the size of the territory, the number of troops, and the amount of money, I don't care about these myself."

"It's not my intention to be a marquis, I hope Hai Boping, if one day the world can be peaceful, I just don't be a marquis, I don't hold an official position, then I am satisfied!"

Princess Wannian's admiration for Cao Ang reached its peak in an instant, and Cao Ang's words really made her blood boil.

There seemed to be an air flow stirring in his chest.

There seemed to be a thunderous explosion in my head.

Self-sacrificing for the public, being loyal to the country, and having the ambition to swallow the sun and the moon, and having the opportunity, ability and vision of the universe in mind, are all the best choices.

To be able to meet such a talent.

Or a talent who is loyal to the imperial court.

It's really a great man who is immortal!

"It's not my intention to be a good marquis, I hope Hai Boping, the general is loyal to the Han family, please accept it!"

In a word.

Princess Wannian immediately got up.

With an extremely excited expression, he saluted Cao Ang.

……

"Your Highness, please get up!"

Cao Ang also held his hands on the ground.

And after Liu Huan got up, she arched her hand to Cao Ang again, and now she has no so-called problems.

said very decisively and cheerfully: "I didn't expect to come to Changyi County for the first stop, and I found the master of Ming for that money, which can be regarded as the providence of God favoring me Liu Huan." ”

"I don't know when the general plans to use the money, I can send someone to deliver it to you at any time."

As soon as this statement came out.

Cao Ang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He said so many things and performed repeatedly, so that the money could be safely pocketed?

Now I finally got the result I wanted.

His efforts were not in vain.

However, regarding Princess Wannian's statement that she wanted to send the money to him, Cao Ang shook his head slightly.

"At present, the chaos in Yanzhou has not been resolved, and after my father and I lead the troops to quell the ant thieves, I will personally send a team of soldiers and horses to accompany His Highness to transport this money to Dongjun, and there is no hurry at present."

Liu Wan bowed slightly.

Now that she has decided to entrust this resource to Cao Ang, of course she will not ask more questions about when and where she will use it.

……

After negotiating this matter.

The two of them immediately sat back down.

While drinking tea soup, they chatted.

The topics are almost all big and small things related to the family and the country, and Liu Huan's interests are really different from others.

And throughout the process.

The main thing is that Cao Ang is talking and Liu Huan is listening.

Of course, occasionally Her Royal Highness the princess will also express her own opinion.

In short, Cao Ang is what he likes.

The atmosphere was quite warm for a while.

"Yuan Shao is ......"

At this moment.

Looking at the man sitting opposite him and talking eloquently, looking at his gestures and pointing out the country, scolding Fang Xuan, it is a matter of the world when it is understated, and every move shows an extraordinary demeanor.

Liu Huan's eyes suddenly flashed.

A strange brilliance flowed through his eyes.

Something suddenly occurred to her.

I'm not young now, but I've never looked for a husband.

Before, because she was young and her father was still alive, as a favored daughter, she could laugh and play at will and enjoy a few years of good time.

Later, it was because of the drastic changes in the world.

With the death of her father, her two younger brothers are young and ignorant, and as the eldest sister, she needs to worry about family and country affairs, and this kind of personal problem will not be put on the agenda in a short time.

Therefore, it has been delayed.

But now I look at Cao Ang.

Liu Huan suddenly realized, isn't this man just her good match?

……

Handsome, no matter which woman it is, staying with such a man, there will be no nasty emotions in the first place, and the first impression is excellent.

The second is the loyalty of the Han family, and the loyalty to the royal family surnamed Liu is even more satisfying to the princess.

And then there is outstanding ability, there are too many excellent qualities on his body, and all kinds of talents can not be counted on his fingers.

And in addition to these prerequisites.

One more point is extremely important.

That is, after the money was entrusted to Cao Ang, although Liu Huan had a high degree of trust in Cao Ang.

But how can all things be left to men?

People are easy to change!

Today's impassioned words, what if you change your mind in the future and don't plan to support the Han family?

Therefore, safeguards must be prepared.

This measure is marriage!

If he can marry Cao Ang, then once he shows signs of changing his mind in the future, as a wife, he will be able to curb it in time.

And after becoming a husband and wife.

It means that the interests of the two of them are tied together and they have become people in the same boat.

When Cao Ang made some measures, he must have taken more into account his own factors, and at the same time, the idea of supporting the Han family and saving the imperial court from peril will become more and more unswerving because of the unity of interests.

All of the above conditions add up.

Let Liu Ping have a bold idea in his heart.

……

"Ziyu, forgive me for asking too much, I wonder if you have ever married a wife now?"

The princess quietly changed her name.

Cao Ang didn't care.

On the contrary, I was a little surprised by the question asked by the princess.

But in the spirit of this is not a secret, he replied very cheerfully: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, there are only a few concubines in the next place, and they are not married." ”

Liu Huan let out a sigh of relief.

Then the eyes flowed, and the red lips opened slightly.

"Then dare to ask Zixuan, do you have the idea of becoming the son-in-law of the first emperor?"

In a word.

Suddenly the earth was shattered.

Cao Ang's eyes widened.

looked at Liu Huan in shock.

The emperor's son-in-law is the emperor's son-in-law, and isn't the son-in-law of the first emperor the husband of the princess in front of him, Her Royal Highness the princess is asking herself, do you have the idea of marrying her?

Cao Ang once suspected that he had misheard,

What's going on, although I knew that Her Royal Highness the princess was a monster for nothing, but it wouldn't be given in vain to this extent.

Cao Ang did have the intention of leaving the princess behind, but before he could exert his strength, why did Her Royal Highness the princess take the initiative to send it to the door?

Be reasonable.

The hydrangea thrown by the princess is very tempting.

But Cao Ang could never catch it.

……

"Your Royal Highness, how can you choose a husband and be a child's play, please think carefully!"

Liu Huan shook her head with a smile.

"I think about it very clearly, Ziyu, you are very much in line with my heart, why not choose you as your husband, you just need to tell me if you are willing or not."

Cao Ang raised his head with difficulty.

I looked at the handsome princess.

Then he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Thank you princess for favoring me, but please forgive me for refusing, I'm afraid I will disappoint His Highness!"

Liu Huan: "? ”

Princess Wannian was stunned on the spot.

When she asked this question, she really didn't expect to get such a decisive rejection.

If it weren't for her mental fortitude, most of her heart would have been put on recovering the Han Dynasty and saving the world from peril.

I'm afraid it's just Cao Ang's reply.

It was enough to break her mind.

"Why?"

"Could it be that my appearance is not in your eyes, or is there something about me that displeased you, or do I really look down on me as a lonely princess?"

The words couldn't help but bring a little anger, which was a strange thing for Liu Huan, who had always behaved quite mildly.

It's really a woman.

Being rejected by others is really an extremely embarrassing thing, as if you are rushing yourself out, and others still don't look down on it.

Such a situation.

No matter how resolute the princess is, she is really a little unbearable, so she will inevitably be angry.

……

looked at Liu Huan with such an angry look.

Cao Ang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Knowing that if you don't explain it clearly, it's really a bit offended.

Although Princess Wannian relied on herself to help the Han family, it was not a big deal to offend her, but why bother to leave a thorn in the hearts of others?

Therefore, Cao Ang's mind turned instantly.

An excuse quickly came to mind.

"His Royal Highness is as beautiful as a flower, and he has a blue heart, and he has the world in his heart, and he is a strange woman among women, so how can he look down on him."

"It's just that as the princess of His Royal Highness, once he becomes the emperor's son-in-law, he will not be allowed to take concubines in the future.

"Therefore, I can only ask Your Highness for forgiveness!"

In fact, this is purely a pretext.

The Han Dynasty is now about to be gone, if Cao Ang insists on not abiding by the etiquette law, who can put a knife on his neck and force him to stop taking concubines in the future?

That's why.

There is only one reason for this.

That is the princess of Wannian, who is not suitable to be her wife, and she is extremely unsuitable.

……

According to Cao Ang's vision.

In the future, he will definitely replace the Han family.

At that time, when he reigned over the world and became the emperor of the Great Wei, his wife was the empress.

Once the princess of Wannian becomes a wife, isn't the so-called queen the princess of the previous dynasty?

Even if Cao Ang agreed, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were afraid that they would be able to drown Cao Ang with spitting stars.

Those partners who started a business together are even more unlikely to watch this happen.

Everyone finally made a cut with the Han Dynasty and happily supported the birth of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Your Majesty, you have made the princess of the previous dynasty the queen, how are you calling everyone, and the heirs born in the future will be surnamed Han or Wei?

This is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if you are a concubine with a higher rank, you just can't become a queen.

And with Cao Ang's character.

It is absolutely impossible for him to make a temporary abolition, and this kind of measure comes, which is called breaking people's hearts.

So instead of having a headache at that time.

It's better to be decisive now.

……

As for rejecting Her Royal Highness the Princess, will you have a chance with her in the future?

Cao Ang is not worried about this.

As his strength continues to expand, his status and identity rise.

One day, Her Royal Highness will surely find out one thing, and that is that it will be difficult for her to restrain Cao Ang anymore.

At that time, in order to tie Cao Ang to the big ship of the Han Dynasty, Her Royal Highness the princess would definitely be willing to surrender her identity and no longer think about becoming a wife.

The idea is a bit bad.

But it was a last resort.

Besides.

refusing to become husband and wife with the princess, it doesn't mean that you want to drive her away, you can stay by your side first and cultivate your feelings.

As long as the opinion increases.

The threshold for many things can be lowered.

For Cao Ang, who has mastered various routines and has endless words, it is not difficult for him to ask himself.

…………

No matter what Cao Ang thinks.

In short, Liu Huan listened to his explanation.

His face softened a lot.

rejected her with reason, and this matter is acceptable.

Of course, there are some things she didn't say, the emperor's son-in-law of the Han Dynasty is allowed to take concubines, and the most important thing is the attitude of the princess.

If the princess agrees.

There was no clear etiquette that would forbid the emperor's son-in-law to accept one or two of the women he liked.

It's just that Liu Huan doesn't feel the need to say anything, and she is not a nonsense hateful daughter, not that she has to send herself out in a hurry.

Say no, just say no.

And Cao Ang is really able to refuse her in order to be able to do so, which really shows affection and righteousness.

Presumably a man with such a character.

I won't abandon the Han family at will in the future, right?

That's why Cao Ang said so.

She nodded in understanding.

"General Cao can't bear to give up his concubine, this is also human nature, besides, you are affectionate and righteous, what is it difficult for me to understand?"

……

Something like this happened.

The next chat atmosphere will be difficult to return to the same relaxed and happy as before.

There was some awkwardness between the conversations.

Anyway, Princess Wannian felt that she couldn't sit still.

So after staying for another half an hour, Liu Huan got up and said goodbye to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang got up to see him off.

It's just that when Liu Huan was just about to open the door and go out, Cao Ang suddenly said to her.

"At present, the war is about to break out, and there are already several troops that have gone to Jinxiang City and other places first, and they will lead the army to set off in the near future."

"It just so happens that this is a battle to defend the city, and some things will be more convenient, if Your Highness is interested, you can lead your troops to Jinxiang City first."

"When the time comes, you might as well participate in the defense of the city, which can be regarded as personally contributing to the recovery of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time, you can also see the majesty of my Cao army, so that His Highness can have more confidence in us to reorganize the rivers and mountains."

Liu Huan's eyes suddenly burst into light.

The whole person was visibly excited.

"Huh!"

The princess even forgot a little bit of politeness, and grabbed Cao Ang's arm directly with her right hand.

Then he asked urgently, "Really, can I really participate in the defense of the city together?" ”

Cao Ang nodded affirmatively.

"Your Highness has come all the way through the mountains and rivers, and there must be a team of men and horses on hand, you are also a rebel army to defeat the Yellow Turban Thieves, and you have to travel in the mountains and rivers and be greedy for pleasure, so why not?"

……

Liu Huan suddenly became happy.

The slight embarrassment caused by Cao Ang's rejection, and the trace of depression hidden in his heart, disappeared without a trace.

As a woman.

It was almost impossible for her to be in the army.

The negative impact is just too great.

However, now Cao Ang is willing to give her this opportunity, even if it is the battle to defend the city, even if it is the subordinates under her own command who are contributing.

But this is also her Liu Huan's dedication to the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty!

"General Cao Gaoyi!"

"Jun's kindness, I remember it in my heart, and I will gather people and horses in a while and rush to Jinxiang City immediately."

"Don't worry, I will try my best to hide my identity as a woman and never cause you trouble!"

It's a pity that there are no data sheets.

Otherwise, you can see it now, Liu Huan's favorability towards Cao Ang is so shy, rolling up and soaring.

………………

Five days later.

With everything in order.

The last army of soldiers and horses also marched towards Jinxiang City.

Except for the small group of men and horses who had to stay, the rest of the large army all set off.

Meanwhile.

Cao Ang also received an urgent report from the front, and the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, which had more than 100,000 troops, had already come south.

Now it has reached the north of the county boundary between Dongping Province and Sanyang County, and it will be possible to cross the county border in two or three days.

Although the Yellow Turbans have always been slow to march.

But after crossing the line, it is not far from Jinxiang County, so the army must arrive as quickly as possible, and there must be no mistakes or omissions.

Of course.

Cao Ang tactically valued the enemy.

But strategically despise the adversary.

With the strength of the Yanzhou defenders now, there is really no need to be afraid of the Yellow Turban Thieves.

Although there is still a gap in the strength of the two sides.

But it's not as scary as it used to be.

With the advantage of defending the city and the continuous supply of grain and grass from the rear of the defenders, it can fully support a long war of attrition.

In addition, there is a gap in the elite level of soldiers on both sides, as well as factors such as equipment and tactics.

The gap in the number of people can be completely bridged!

So for this battle.

Cao Ang is very confident!
