Cao's mansion is located in the very center of Yuancheng.

There are tall palace walls around it, and there are majestic and continuous buildings inside, which is the most luxurious residence in the entire Yuan City, and it is no different from the royal palace.

In fact, Cao Chao's home is really the palace.

At the beginning, Cao Pi named his son Cao Li as the Duke of Qin, and later changed the title to King Jingzhao and then to King Yuancheng.

Cao Li couldn't bear this back and forth migration, died in Yuancheng, and saw his younger brother's heir, Cao Yi intimately arranged for Cao Yi, the son of Cao Kai, the king of the city, to be the heir of the king of Yuancheng.

Of course, the migration still had to be migrated, and it was soon changed to King Liang.

And the palace was left empty for spare.

Throughout history, the Cao Wei clan has been renamed the most times, and they have been constantly on the move throughout their lives, with almost no opportunity to run a fief.

When the Sima family was in power, Sima Shi couldn't bear to let the clan suffer such migration and humiliation, so he thoughtfully arranged for them to live in Hebei and stay away from his fiefdom.

Cao Chao's fief is in Tancheng County, in Qilu.

But now he lives in Yuancheng.

Cao Chao led many helpers to the gate of the palace.

At the entrance of the palace stood two old men, thin and thin, holding spears in their arms, swaying from side to side.

The door of the mansion is open, and people come and go, coming and going, and it is very lively.

As soon as Cao Chao entered the palace, he heard Guo Zhi's chattering questioning.

"What kind of system is it? How can you be naked in the corner of the front hall? ”

"What kind of system? How can you play here? ”

"Don't lie in the front hall!!"

It was a young man in a deep robe, dressed quite plainly, but all dressed according to etiquette, without the slightest transgression or impropriety.

Including his face, it is so straight.

His name is Guo Zhi, and he is an anti-auxiliary order under Cao Chao.

The duty is to teach Cao Chao to be good and prevent him from doing bad things.

This position is usually held by a gentleman with a virtuous name, but the gentleman they found for Cao Chao was too much of a gentleman.

When he turned around and saw Cao Chao, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and bowed down with the etiquette of treating the duke.

Cao Chao accepted his salute with a helpless face.

"Guo Jun, why do you have to be so .....?"

"Townsman, etiquette must not be abolished."

Guo Zhi said solemnly, and then pointed to the people in those mansions.

"Townsman! These servants of yours openly fight in the house, and they play and play and ride horses..... How can this be done? ”

"It's just unorthodox!"

"Hahaha, I've always treated them as friends, and now I don't have anything to do, so why not entertain themselves?"

Guo was extremely distressed.

He really misses the well-behaved and well-written noble countryman at the beginning.

The noble townsman he saw for the first time was so intelligent, kind, and studious, and pestered himself all day long to learn Shangshu.

The most unforgettable thing is the strong youthful spirit in him, always full of confidence and always full of vitality.

He saw the style of Emperor Wen in the noble townsman at that time, and even mentioned this unique noble townsman many times in his letters to his aunt.

Until a year ago, the noble townsman fell off his horse while practicing riding and archery.

Since then, he's been a different person.

He never touched Shangshu again, and began to try to do some evil things.

colluding with bandits, making friends with businessmen, funding rangers, bullying and dominating the market all day long, disrespectful and unscrupulous.

He stopped it many times, but he couldn't succeed, and the entire mansion was occupied by a group of rogue rangers, and he couldn't control these people at all!

Thinking of this, Guo Zhi's heart was full of guilt, because he failed to teach the townsman well!

"Xianggong, you are the dignified Duke of Wei, how can you be friends with villains in the market?"

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "You mean, I should go and make friends with some virtuous people and invite famous scholars to come to the mansion as guests?" ”

Guo Zhi hurriedly nodded, "It should be so." ”

"But the temple has a ban on the princes to transport guests, and we are not allowed to make friends with those scholars and invite them to be guests.

Guo Zhi's eyes widened, and he hurriedly shook his head again.

"I can't afford to bear such a heavy responsibility, and the temple has its own reason..... The townsman just doesn't have the company of scholars, and he shouldn't be with these people, which is also a crime....."

"Ladies and gentlemen, am I with you?"

When a few rough men around heard this, they immediately laughed, "We are all slaves under Duke Cao, how can we be considered together?" ”

Guo Zhi's face suddenly turned red, and he said hesitantly: "Even so, a few businessmen have sent money.... Princes made friends with merchants, and it was forbidden to do business. ”

"I haven't been a businessman, and I haven't made friends."

"I just saw that they were pitiful, and gave them some ideas, taught them how to do business and get rich, and helped the village, and they spontaneously thanked me and sent me money, isn't that right?"

Guo Zhi looked at Cao Chao blankly, "It's not wrong. ”

Cao Chao laughed, "Then you can help count some of the money they sent, there are more and more places that need money, and only with money can you help the township and do more good deeds, you say yes?" ”

"This ......"

Guo Zhi finally went to work honestly.

Cao Chao is actually very satisfied with him, and a gentleman can deceive him.

This anti-auxiliary order really regards his duty as a teaching, in fact, he can order Cao Chao strongly, if Cao Chao doesn't listen, just write to the third division.

But he didn't do this, he still reasoned with Cao Chao seriously, and he was always dumbfounded by Cao Chao's crooked reasoning.

When Cao Chao walked through the front hall, there was a person sitting under a tree in the distance.

The man was not young, drunk like mud, his clothes were open, his eyes were foggy, he sat on the ground with his legs outstretched, and his whole body smelled foul.

Cao Chao smiled and said hello.

"Yang Gong!"

The man opened his eyes, glanced at Cao Chao, and continued to sleep with his head tilted sideways.

This old man is Cao Chao's supervisor of the country.

He was originally the official in charge of supervising Cao Chao and complaining to the temple.

It's just that this old man is really a little strange.

He never paid attention to political affairs, was untidy all day long, and had words in his mouth.

But Cao Chao can also understand.

The entire Eastern Han Dynasty itself was established because of the Wei Wei.

Because of Liu Xiu's admiration for the Wei Dynasty, superstition ran through the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, and by the end of the Han Dynasty, it became the mainstream.

In Wei, metaphysics prevailed, and a large number of scholars who advocated freedom and did nothing appeared.

There is already a prototype of self-abandonment in the later stage.

The spiritual pillars of many scholars have collapsed, and they have encountered the strong suppression of the Sima family, so they have a serious sense of escapism and misanthropy, showing an absurd and uninhibited appearance.

The Great Han scholars were extremely obedient to the etiquette, and with the collapse of the etiquette, the scholars began to despair and abandon the etiquette, which was often called the Wei and Jin dynasties in later generations.

As for whether it is really romantic, only they themselves know.

This Yang Gong probably didn't want to be an official, and after becoming a prisoner, he didn't do anything serious, drank all day long, served and dispersed, and lay under the tree all year round, talking to himself crazy.

But Cao Chao still likes him, who doesn't want to have such a prisoner?

Sitting in the Kerang Palace, Cao Chao looked at the people around him, and his mood was a lot more relaxed.

Anyway, there is some insignificant power.

I still remember that when I first crossed over, I was alone, with seven or eight old soldiers and two officials around me, and the money in my hand couldn't even maintain the maintenance of the palace.

After the fusion of the souls of two different eras, Cao Chao realized how difficult his situation was.

This Great Wei guards the clan very tightly, and guards against thieves.

It is really not easy for Cao Chao to get to where he is now.

It can be said that in the entire Great Wei clan, no one has lived as nourished as him.

There is no shortage of money in his hand, he opened a manor, specializing in receiving poor and destitute heroes, and he is a well-known hero in the green forest world of Hebei, which can be called the Great Wei version of "Hebei Hubaoyi", or "Little Whirlwind Cao Daguanren".

The rangers of the entire Hebei almost all knew his name, and some people often came to him to seek refuge when they committed crimes.

Of course, those people in the city, if they encounter any grievances, will also come to him for help.

Cao Chao's behavior did not attract the attention of the local government.

On the contrary, these officials despised him very much, thinking that he had made friends with some low-level leaders, which was unproductive and not worth mentioning.

Great Wei has its own national conditions here.

In Dawei, the reputation of the clan can't be too good, if you can write a poem in seven steps, are deeply loved by Shilin, and the scholars surround you, and do a good job of learning, then you will definitely be tossed to death by the temple.

And if you are a villain, beating your wife and children all day long, going out to fish the people, personal morality, and being spurned by Shilin, then you will be very safe.

That's right, it's Cao Chao's father, Cao Lin, the king of the East China Sea.

Cao Chao's behavior of cooperating with these rangers, cooperating with businessmen, and messing with Qianshou is no different from his father in the eyes of those old men.

These are all acts that will be spurned by Shilin.

"Cao Gong!! Woe to you!! ”

I saw a wicked man rushing into the temple in a panic, his eyes full of horror.
