Chapter 207: Steady
Because Gao Rou only gave Cao Chao two lieutenant places, Cao Chao finally determined two candidates after careful consideration.
Ji Kang and Ma Long.
Needless to say, the reason for choosing Ma Long is that he is the most capable general under Cao Chao except for the Huainan army.
And the reason why Ji Kang was chosen is because Ji Kang's reputation is big enough.
In the current era, officials pay less and less attention to their talents, the most important thing is family background, fame, connections, etc.
Needless to say, Ji Kang's family background is needless to say, aside from the identity of the family, he is still a relative of the Cao family, there is no problem with his background, let alone fame, among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, Ji Kang and Ruan Ji are the two most famous leaders.
And Ji Kang is close to Cao Chao, his own position is firm, although his ability in government and military affairs is not strong, but he will not care about the Sima family or any other big family, he has the world in his heart, and he dares to die for the world.
That's enough, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to fight, Ji Kang is not a messy person, with Ma Long's ability, there is no problem in teaching Ji Kang while reorganizing the army under his command.
As for letting a celebrity serve as a captain in the army, this is very common nowadays, and Ruan Ji also served as an infantry captain, and later generations often called him Ruan Infantry.
The Queen Mother directly issued an edict to use these two as captains.
And this edict was firmly supported in Zhongshutai, and then it reached the Chinese army.
This quickly caused a new round of confusion in the Chinese army.
When Sima Zhao, who nominally commanded the Chinese army, learned of this edict, he had no intention of opposing it at all, and waved his hand to express resolute obedience.
He was even happy.
Because the two lieutenants to be replaced in the edict are Lu Yu's people.
One of them is also Lu Yu's son-in-law Hua Hui.
When Sima Zhao saw the edict, he immediately concluded in his heart that this was Gao Rou fighting with Lu Yu for military power, after all, this was an edict directly issued by Zhongshutai, and Shangshutai was controlled by Lu Yu, but Gao Rou's influence in Zhongshutai was very huge, this is definitely what Gao Rou meant!
Since Gao Rou wants to seize Lu Yu's military power, what else is Sima Zhao against?
In the tank! In the tank! Absolutely!
So, when Hua Hui saw this edict passed by the Queen Mother, Zhongshu, and the General's Mansion, the whole person was stunned.
How can I be so virtuous, that I deserve to be dealt with like this??
The generals don't have this treatment.
No matter how tough Hua Hui is, in the face of these three strengthened edicts, he doesn't dare to disobey, Shang Shutai's order is obviously not enough to compete with this edict, let alone him, even Lu Yu has to admit it when he sees such a thing.
Immediately, there was a change in the Chinese army, Hua Hui and another lieutenant were replaced, and Ji Kang and Ma Long became the new lieutenants.
At this moment, the two have not yet gone to the military camp to serve, but to meet the Queen Mother in the Zhaoyang Palace.
The Queen Mother sat on the upper seat, Situ Gong sat on the left side, and Cao Chao sat on the right side.
The two sat in front of them, Ji Kang's face was very calm, and Ma Long looked very happy.
Malone's eyes were full of anticipation, and he really wanted to do something.
For a person like him, every opportunity is so rare that you have to give everything you have to do and not miss a single opportunity.
The Queen Mother said with a smile: "I don't know about the military, since it is my son's idea, then you can do it, don't let down my son's high hopes." ”
Gao Rou glanced at the Queen Mother and didn't add anything, just reminded them not to make mistakes.
Gao Rou originally wanted to hold them down, and then blame Lu Yu for the matter, so as to provoke the conflict between the Son of Heaven and Lu Yu.
But after some contemplation, Gao Rou gave up on the idea.
With Lu Yu's cunning and cunning, if he noticed this matter, maybe he would use this matter to directly ally with the emperor, complete this matter instead of himself, and turn himself into a villain.
Gao Rou was still a little jealous of Cao Chao, so she gave up this plan.
But even so, he didn't forget to give Cao Chao some eye medicine, he said: "Queen Mother, everyone obeyed this edict, but Lu Yu did not obey, just because one of the people who replaced him was his son-in-law. ”
Gao Rou shook her head and said: "He regarded the Chinese army as his own, and even did not hesitate to disobey the edict. ”
"Sima Zhao and Lu Yu were at odds, and expressed their approval of the edict, which allowed them to be replaced."
"If there was no Sima Zhao, this matter would not have been possible??"
Gao Rou sneered, "How ridiculous, we have to do something, Sima Zhao became the one who helped us, and Lu Yu became the one who wanted to hinder us." ”
The Queen Mother frowned, very displeased by this.
The two explained a few more words, and then let them leave.
Cao Chao led them out of the Zhaoyang Palace.
After walking out of the Zhaoyang Palace, Ji Kang couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, minister of the court, don't be gullible!" ”
Cao Chao was stunned for a moment and looked at him.
Ji Kang frowned, "Those friends of mine are actually celebrating, saying that the prosperous era is coming, but I feel that this is a troubled era is coming." ”
"Although Sima Shi is brutal, his talent is also outstanding, and now he is going to die, those who want to inherit his position are all greedy, and the policies they say, I just heard it once, and I feel creepy!"
"If all these policies are implemented, then the world will become the plaything of the great family, and the people will become their slaves, enslaving them for generations, lawless"
Malone didn't agree with this statement, he shook his head: "I don't think so, you don't know, the people are not as weak as you think, if someone is unscrupulously oppressed, they will definitely fight back"
As soon as Ma Long said a few words, he suddenly realized that he was in front of the emperor, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly bowed his head.
Cao Chao said with a smile: "Xiaoxing is right. ”
Ji Kang looked at Ma Long and said, "You are right, this will cause a popular uprising, but what about after that?" There will be people who will lead these people to overthrow the original dynasty, and then these leaders will become new families, and they will continue to fish and flesh the people so repeatedly, so reincarnated."
Cao Chao opened his mouth and said, "Therefore, I asked the two of you to serve as captains. ”
Cao Chao pointed at Ma Long and said to Ji Kang: "This person is extremely loyal, when the fox was humiliated, no one dared to collect his body, it was this person who came out to bury him again and keep filial piety for him."
Cao Chao did not introduce the other party's talents first, but talked about his righteous deeds.
Sure enough, hearing this, Ji Kang's eyes when he looked at Ma Long suddenly improved a lot, and he couldn't help but nod and said, "Be a true righteous man!" ”
Cao Chao said: "Xiaoxing has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he is brave, and he is good at military affairs.
Marlon's eyes widened, is there??
"Therefore, I want this person to rectify the Chinese army and drive out those who don't understand military affairs and only know how to drink alcohol!"
Ji Kang suddenly laughed, "Isn't that the first thing to do is to kick the minister out?" ”
"Therefore, you should drink less, and you must not be dispersed, in the future, you should listen to Ma Jun's advice more, learn from his methods of rectifying the army, and follow him to establish two Chinese military camps that can fight well, my Chinese military camp, what do you think?"
Ji Kang didn't have any ideas, he nodded very simply.
"Okay."
He looked at Malone on the side, "I don't understand military affairs, please teach me more in the future." ”
Malone hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I will definitely do my best to assist." ”
Cao Chao explained a lot of things to them, and then sent them out together.
Cao Chao has high hopes for the two of them, and the army is the most important thing at any time.
At present, we must continue to strengthen our control over many armies, and when we unify the world, our prestige in the army will probably be able to reach a very high position.
In the end, if it really doesn't work, Naigong will learn a yellow nest!
The two left the palace together.
Cao Chao couldn't rest, he still had a lot of things to do, and he sent Zhang Hua to summon another temple minister again.
And this person is the Shaofu Zheng Yuan.
In Cao Chao's plan, the Cao family clan is an indispensable link, and the Cao family clan is actually the most powerful family in the world, and they should play a greater role in the war with the family.
The suppression over the years has forced them to stand on the side of the Sima family.
Later, there were even Cao Wei clans who took the initiative to help the Sima family, such as Cao Zhi's son Cao Zhi, who had a good relationship with Sima Yan and Sima You. And he was actually deposed in the end because he supported Sima You, how ridiculous is this thing to think about?
And why are these clans willing to help Sima Yan and them? It's not because Cao Wei's temple doesn't treat them as people at all, but the Sima family will still use them.
Cao Chao now wants to release these people and let them play the role they should play.
Cao Chao suddenly felt as if he was working for Emperor Wen, making up for his mistakes little by little
Cao Chao didn't wait too long, he waited in the East Hall for a while, and Zhang Hua came here with Zheng Yuan.
Zheng Hao seemed to have realized that he would be summoned.
Cao Chao looked at Zheng Yuan who came and couldn't help laughing, "Zheng Jun looks more dignified than when he was in Yuancheng!" ”
"Your Majesty is also more stable than when he was in Yuancheng."
"Well, actually, I called you here this time to lift the confinement policies of the clan and let the princes of the clan return to their fiefdoms, so that they can become the cornerstone of the world."
"If I can, I also want to give them some power, so that they can spy on the local ministers and officials, and suppress the local families and wealthy families."
"Ah???h
