Chapter 460: Temptation

With the words of Cao Song, who is the envoy of Qin, what happened in Xiangxian was quickly sorted out.

Many river officials neglected their duties, bribed the imperial history of the river patrol, colluded with officials of all sizes in the county, bent the law for bribes, and even gathered people to rebel after the incident.

And Tian Feng's charge of 'unauthorized killing' was also 'corrected' because of Cao Song's endorsement.

Under the full operation of Liu Xuan, Tian Feng and others, a great chaos that was like a conspiracy was quickly pacified.

Three days later, the state capital.

Cao Song was in the main position, and on both sides were Liu Xuan, Liu Bei, Tian Feng, and no one else.

Tian Feng glanced at Liu Bei, still unwillingly said: "Gong Cao, there are still many people at large involved in the case of river control. ”

Liu Wei's expression changed slightly, who would have thought that at such a juncture, Tian Feng still refused to give up, and still thought about Mi Zhu.

In the past few days, Cao Song has already investigated the matter clearly, and said lightly: "If you want to talk about the crime, if such a big thing happens, the three of you should show it to the public." ”

It was difficult to escape, where was Liu Miao willing to 'bring up the old things again', and hurriedly said: "What Cao Gong said is true." Yuan Hao, this is the end of the matter. ”

He looked at Tian Feng's gaze, full of sharp warnings.

Seeing this, Tian Feng was silent for a moment and did not speak.

He also saw that Cao Song came to 'fool', not really a thorough investigation.

Similarly, Liu Miao and Liu Bei have been picked out, but Tian Feng is not necessarily, because Tian Feng wants to return to Luoyang with Cao Song.

When he arrived in Luoyang, what the palace and the court would do with him, Tian Feng did not know the bottom in his heart.

Cao Song remembered Cao Cao's affairs, and he didn't have the heart to deal with these people or anything, so he said directly: "Five things: first, control the river." Second, suppress bandits. Third, Tuntian. Fourth, the rule of officials. Fifth, the 'New Deal'. The specific policy direction and goals have been sent to you by Shangshutai, and after you have studied them, you will come up with specific feasible strategies and report them. Let me remind you again, Your Majesty is still in Yuzhou. ”

Liu Xuan, Liu Bei, and Tian Feng's expressions changed suddenly, and they looked at Cao Song in surprise.

Didn't you say that Your Majesty was still in Xiapi?

Immediately, the three of them woke up in shock, Cao Song had no reason to lie to them!

And the word 'still' is worth playing.

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" The three of them raised their hands in unison and said in a deep voice.

Cao Song stood up on crutches, looked at Tian Feng, and said, "Get ready, return to Luoyang with me tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Tian Feng's face did not change color.

Since he decided to do that, he has the determination to die, and he is naturally not afraid when he comes.

It's just that there are still some unwillingness.

That night.

A number of high-ranking officials in Yuzhou quickly formulated specific plans for river control, banditry, and tuntian, and directly sent documents to various counties and counties, and the efficiency was 100 times higher than in the past.

The top and bottom of Yuzhou embodies unprecedented unity.

Cao Song turned a blind eye to these, the post station where he lived was full of people from morning to night, and there was an unknown length of queue at the door, but all of them were blocked out.

The old servant quietly sent one person away from the back door, came to Cao Song's bedroom, and laughed softly: "Master, these people are still thinking about the master." ”

Cao Song was soaking his feet, looking at the book with an indifferent face, and said, "How many thousand acres do they want to take?" ”

When the old servant heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes." After dredging, there will inevitably be a lot of more fields, even if they don't take it, it will fall into the hands of these officials in Yuzhou, and in general, a piece of the pie will be. ”

"Be careful." Cao Song looked up at him and said, "It's different." ”

It's different.

The old servant naturally knew what was 'different', and Shen Se said: "Master rest assured, the villain has already told them carefully." Moreover, the master has the handle of Liu Miao and others, even if something is wrong, they will cover it up if they want to. ”

Cao Song was still a little uneasy in his heart, but thousands of acres of fields were too tempting.

"Is there any news from there?" Cao Song asked instead. What he cares about most is his precious son.

The old servant came to Cao Song, knelt down to wash his feet, and said with the same sadness: "There is no other news." I heard that His Royal Highness and Prime Minister arrived in Yanzhou, except for His Highness who secretly met the little master once, everyone else avoided it. ”

The corners of Cao Song's face moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness...... Hasn't you replied yet? ”

The old servant washed his feet seriously and said, "No, I'm afraid that the little master is also worried about implicating the master, so I don't dare to make a move." ”

"Between father and son, what is involved."

Cao Song said lightly and said, "What about Luoyang?" ”

The old servant looked up at Cao Song, with a solemn expression, and said: "It's very strange, it was originally fierce and murderous, but suddenly, as if it had been cut off, most of the impeachment recitals were gone, and only some of the opposition and celebrities continued to play, and some ...... The thunder grew quieter. ”

Cao Song's brows furrowed, his eyes were even more worried, and he said, "The thunder is getting smaller, either it will dissipate, or it will brew a bigger thunder." ”

The only one who can brew real thunder is the son of heaven in the palace.

The old servant understood what Cao Song meant, and said uneasily: "Master, then, will Your Majesty continue to protect the little master?" ”

Cao Song slowly raised his head, looked out of the dark window, his eyes were sharp and deep, and said, "Protecting it or not protecting it is not a good thing." Who can guess the thoughts of His Majesty in the palace? ”

The corners of the old servant's mouth moved, and at this level, he, a servant, really couldn't interject.

But he knows one thing, that is, the little master in the palace has protected his family too many times, and many of the government and the opposition can no longer bear it, if the palace forcibly shelters again, it will definitely provoke a crazy backlash from the government and the opposition.

This time, can the unicorn of his family, who is already in his forties, survive this catastrophe safely?

Early the next morning, Cao Song took more than 100 soldiers given by Liu Bei to leave Peijun and go north to return to Luoyang.

Because of the heavy rain, the carriage was moving very slowly, and Tian Feng sat next to Cao Song and kept quietly observing him.

Cao Song came and went quickly, even if Tian Feng was under house arrest, he still knew that Cao Song had done a lot of things in Xiangxian, some of which could not be put on the table.

Cao Song closed his eyes, but he also felt Tian Feng's gaze, and said, "Tian Fujun has something to say?" ”

Tian Feng bowed down and said, "What Xia Guan is curious about is Cao Sima's matter. ”

Cao Cao.

Cao Song slowly opened his eyes, looked at Tian Feng, and said lightly: "What are you curious about?" ”

Tian Feng looked at him and said, "Cao Sima slaughtered the three cities in Yanzhou, and the officials didn't believe it. But what happened was completely different from Yuzhou, it broke out suddenly, the government and the opposition knew everything, and the world was boiling. ”

Cao Song slowly closed his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to Tian Feng.

This is not something that anyone with a discerning eye knows, it must have been deliberately done by the 'Yingchuan Party', just to kill his son with one blow.

Tian Feng saw him close his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Judging from the current situation, Cao Sima should be worry-free. ”

Cao Song's brows moved, he opened his eyes, and said indifferently: "What do you say?" ”

Tian Feng said: "The reason why Cao Sima lost his sense of proportion and killed people must have encountered a situation where he had to kill. This can be seen by the lower officials, and His Majesty and the princes of Shangshutai must also be clear. Therefore, from this point of view alone, Cao Sima will not have much to do. Coupled with Cao Sima's special status, the imperial court will definitely do its best to protect him. Moreover, this year is the first year of Jian'an, and His Majesty's edict issued the 'Five-Year Governance Outline for Jian'an', which has just started half a year, which will damage the Sima Mansion of the Great Sima Mansion, and His Majesty and Shangshutai are absolutely unacceptable. ”

Cao Song looked at Tian Feng with a different color, and said, "So, my son must be fine?" ”

Tian Feng nodded affirmatively and said, "This is nature." It's just that the specific situation will be disposed of, the lower officials can't guess. After all, the government and the opposition are boiling, and they must be appeased after all. ”

"The key is the matter of slaughtering the three cities?" Cao Song was a little thorough, and his body sat up a little straighter.

Tian Feng shook his head again and said, "Yes and no." What happened in Yanzhou was only an inducement, and Cao Sima was not tolerated by the government and the opposition, and if Cao Sima could not ease the relationship with the 'Yingchuan Party', disaster would happen sooner or later. ”

Cao Song put away his thoughts about underestimating Tian Feng, raised his hand and said, "Please also ask Tian Fujun to teach you." ”

Tian Feng hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Don't dare, it's just a superficial view." ”

Cao Song put down his hand, looked solemn, and said, "Please speak." ”

Tian Feng thought for a moment and said, "Marriage." ”

Cao Song instantly understood, thinking about the school-age children of his Cao family, and recalling the age of the 'Yingchuan Party' and their children, for a long time, he said: "Xun Gongda seems to have a son who is not yet married, but he is the same age as one of my granddaughters. ”

Tian Feng couldn't help laughing.

Cao Song frowned and said, "What does Yuan Hao mean by this?" ”

Listening to 'Yuan Hao', Tian Fengshou narrowed his expression and said, "The marriage of children is still one layer behind. ”

Cao Song suddenly realized, thoughtfully, and said: "There are seven or eight people in the 'Yingchuan Party' with enough weight, and the best is no more than the three of Shangshutai, but they all have wives, if they are concubines...... Even if it is a concubine, they dare not accept it. ”

Cao Song knew that Cao Cao was disgusted by the 'Yingchuan Party', and it was difficult for the Cao family to marry them.

Tian Feng smiled slightly and said, "If the subordinate can marry the 'Yingchuan Party' for Cao Jun, can the Duke of Cao inherit one thing." ”

Cao Song's eyebrows were raised like an eagle, and he was secretly vigilant, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Naturally, it will be difficult for Cao Gong and Cao Sima." Tian Feng raised his head slightly, and his eyes became sharp.

"Since it's very difficult, do you think the old man will agree?" Cao Song held the crutches with both hands, and said indifferently.

Tian Feng said: "It's just a transaction, Cao Gong didn't say it when he was an official." ”

Cao Song looked at Tian Feng, his eyes dark and cold.

Tian Feng looked at him, his gaze calm, like ice.

After a while, Cao Song took a deep breath and said, "I want to know who is married." ”

"I can't say for now." Tian Feng said.

The corners of Cao Song's face twitched, and the anger visible to the naked eye crawled all over the old face, but he didn't have a seizure, but slowly closed his eyes and made a contemplative appearance.

Cao Song saw it very clearly, the current Tian Feng actually had nothing to threaten.

Once Tian Feng arrives in Luoyang, he will definitely be questioned, and it is a mortal crime, but it will be dealt with in a low-key manner.

How can a dying man threaten him?

'Tian Feng, what do you want me to promise? ’

Cao Song closed his eyes and was thinking in his heart.

A madman like Tian Feng, before he died, helped him marry the 'Yingchuan Party', and his plot was definitely not trivial.

On the one hand, it is to completely lift the hostility of the 'Yingchuan Party' to his son Cao Cao, survive this catastrophe, and reconcile with the 'Yingchuan Party', then Cao Cao's future will be unimaginable!

On the other hand, it is what Tian Feng is plotting, this matter may bring disaster to the Cao family!

Cao Song analyzed the interests and disadvantages in his heart, and couldn't make a decision for a long time.

Tian Feng took a long time and waited unhurriedly.

In his opinion, Cao Song actually has no choice.

Even if Cao Cao passes this time, the troubles behind him are endless, the 'Yingchuan Party' and Cao Cao are already 'mortal enemies', and they can't be resolved.

Sure enough, Cao Song slowly opened his eyes, his expression was calm, and he raised his hand and said, "Then, everything will be entrusted to Yuan Hao." ”

"Bell servant shooting." Tian Feng raised his hand to each other and said calmly.

Cao Song was stunned and said, "Zhong Xuan? ”

The reason why it is called 'as long' is because with Cao Song's qualifications, nine out of ten in the court are 'juniors', and as a former captain, it is not an exaggeration to call him 'Zhong Xuan'.

At the same time, Zhong Xuan's temperament and preferences appeared in Cao Song's mind, and he said hesitantly: "Zhong ...... It is also appropriate to shoot a servant. ”

Zhong Xuan is a relatively special existence within the 'Yingchuan Party'.

At present, there are four big figures in the 'Yingchuan Party', one is Prime Minister Xun Yu, the left servant shoots Zhong Xuan, the right servant shoots Xun You, and the other is the Yushi Cheng drama Zhicai of the Yushitai.

Xi Zhicai may be because of Yu Shicheng, and there are very few people who move around with the hundred officials of the imperial court, and they are relatively marginal.

Prime Minister Xun Yu has a sparse temperament, is fair, and has never had any selfish interests, because although he is the nominal leader of the 'Yingchuan Party', he is actually not liked by the officials of the 'Yingchuan Party'.

And the right servant shoots Xun You, who single-handedly created the 'Yingchuan Party', and the 'Yingchuan Party' is up and down, and he is also the actual leader of the 'Yingchuan Party'.

And Zhong Xuan, a person with a serious face on weekdays, is not close to anyone, but he is good at dancing with long sleeves, and his relationship with anyone is not bad, not only managing Honglu Temple, wandering around the border of different races, in the court, he is also at ease, like a piece of gold oil.

Cao Song heard the name of 'Zhong Xuan', thought about it carefully, and felt that it was the most suitable for Zhong Xuan, that is, it was not low, nor high, it would not be useless, and it would not be too abrupt.

"Can it be done?" Cao Song asked with some concern.

Cao Song didn't have much contact with Zhong Xuan, but with Zhong Xuan's background and current identity, there was no shortage of women, let alone the support of the scholars.

And marrying the Cao family will definitely arouse the opposition of the 'Yingchuan Party', what reason can Zhong Xuan put aside these and marry the Cao family?

"Gong Cao only needs to remember his promise to the lower officials, and other things will be handled by the lower officials." Tian Feng said with a smile.

Cao Song looked hesitant, always feeling a little risky, but this was a huge temptation, which made him reluctant to retreat.

Tian Feng saw Cao Song clearly, and he didn't want to say it again, lest Cao Song really regret it.

"Okay." After a long time, Cao Song still responded.

Marriage with the 'Yingchuan Party', this temptation is too great, he can't help it!
