"Your Majesty, look at this list"

"These are the cronies of the anti-thief Gao Rou in the Chinese book, and the previous edict was written by these people!"

Cui Zan naturally did not come to see the emperor empty-handed.

Unlike Xin Chang, Cui Zan brought another gift package.

Cao Chao looked at the list in his hand in surprise, and the details of Gao Rou's old thief were dug out.

The important thing is not the name on this list, but the important thing is Cui Zan's behavior at this moment.

Cui Zan had just betrayed part of the family to the emperor.

And with such behavior, Cui Zan will definitely be difficult to be accepted by the ministers in the future, which is to show his determination to the emperor.

Cao Chao is a little incomprehensible, Cui Zan is a person who has the ability to govern the government, and at the same time, he is calm and calm, and rarely takes the initiative to take action, he is different from Xun Yi who wants to come out like this, he has always stayed in his position with peace of mind, a bit like Zheng Yuan.

How could such a risky move be made?

Cui Zan's face was full of determination at the moment.

"Your Majesty's clan has suffered a great loss."

"All of them are victims of thieves in the DPRK and China."

Cao Chao woke up to the fact that Cui Zan and Lu Yu are fellow villagers, and they are both representatives of the Hebei clan.

Originally, Sima Shi's back hand directly dug up their roots, and the Cui family's vitality was greatly damaged, although it did not fall into the miserable situation of the Lu family with only one family left, but it was not much better, and there were only a dozen people who escaped.

They used to flourish, so naturally they were not in a hurry to come out, so many clan children, continue to raise hope and accumulate, sooner or later they can soar to the sky, and there is no need to add additional risks to themselves.

But now the situation is different.

Their family is crumbling, and the virtue of the ministers, Cao Chao is also very clear, in the face of such a traumatized family, their first thought is not to help, but to swallow it.

The Cui family needs a leader with sufficient status, and they also need someone to shelter them.

Therefore, Cui Zan simply decided his position, and when the emperor needed to employ people, he directly stood on Cao Chao's side and helped Cao Chao to do things.

Thinking about the key clearly, Cao Chao was a little moved in his heart again.

Speaking of which, this is because of my father-in-law's benevolent government.

Thank you, General, even after his death, for helping me so sparingly.

I will definitely inherit your legacy and continue to fulfill your ambitions.

Cao Chao is really in need of talents now, especially such a minister who is from a big family and has the ability to work in Shangshutai.

Cao Chao immediately took his hand and said sadly: "Alas, don't be sad, this will never happen again in the future."

Cao Chao calmed down for a long time, and Cui Zan cleaned up his mood.

Cao Chao accepted Cui Zan's surrender, and in fact, Cao Chao would not refuse the defection of any minister, whether sincere or not.

Cao Chao firmly believes that everyone has a different use.

But Cao Chao was not in a hurry to let Cui Zan serve as the right servant.

The top level of Shangshutai cannot be held by these later defectors, and there must be people whom they fully trust, such as Wang Jing.

Wang Jing still lacks experience in governing the world, and he is good at governing places, but governing places is completely different from governing the world.

But Wang Jing is not very old, so he can hang a book for him, let him get familiar with Shangshutai first, and then go to shoot Shang Shu.

Actually, Biqiu Jian can also record Shangshushi, don't look at this as a fierce general, in fact, he is still a capable minister, both civil and military.

However, Cui Zan can add individual officials in addition to Shangshu, such as Shizhong.

There can be two of them in the waiter, it was originally Huabiao and Zheng Xiaotong.

Cao Chao sent Huabiao to Zhongshutai, as for Zheng Xiaotong, Cao Chao wanted him to be Taichang and take over his teacher.

The two candidates in the waiter were vacant, Cui Zan could replace one of them, and the other, Cao Chao decided to let Zhong Hui come.

Zhonghui's Zongzheng can be removed, and let Cao Yu, the king of Yan, withdraw from Shangshutai and become Zongzheng.

Zhong will serve as the secretary, and then add a waiter.

In this way, Zhong Hui can not only participate in the decision-making, but also carry out it, which can be said to make the best use of everything, and most importantly, with Zhong Hui's character, I am afraid that he will soon be able to collect a large number of ministers and bring them to his side.

The only problem is Zhong Hui's age.

He is too young, and among the Shangshu leaders, he has directly reached the top, and it is difficult to rise further.

However, Cao Chao is younger than Zhong Hui, as long as there is no problem with his body, Cao Chao is confident that he can suppress him.

Cao Chao is not afraid that he has made too many meritorious contributions, he will be rewarded for his meritorious service, he will be given a knighthood if he has a top official position, and if he has a top title, he will be added to the food estate, and if he can't give him an honorary official title, as long as he continues to give him various honors, this person will not easily rebel.

Cao Chao was thinking about Zhong Hui here, so Zhang Hua came to tell him again, saying that Zhong Hui came to visit.

Cao Chao had no choice but to send Cui Zan away and go out to greet Zhong Hui in person.

Zhong Hui was followed by two entourages, holding heavy paperwork in his hands, Zhong Hui seemed to be in a good mood, greeted the emperor with a smile, and then walked into the west hall together.

"Your Majesty, please look at these!"

Zhong Hui pointed to those documents, and then reprimanded Zhang Hua unhappily: "What are you still standing here for?!" Go out and wait! ”

If it was before, Zhang Hua might have contradicted him a few words, but probably because of the credit made by Zhong Hui this time, Zhang Hua did not talk back, and after seeing Cao Chao nodding, he left the West Hall.

"What is this?"

Cao Chao picked up the papers.

Immediately, he was surprised to find that these were actually confessions, Gao Rou's confessions! Whether it is the handwriting or the tone, I can be sure that this is written by Gao Rou.

And the name on each confession is different, and there are even many that start with an empty beginning and no name is written.

Zhong Hui smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is what I just got from Gao Rou, with these, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, you can use it as you like, but if there is any disobedience, you can directly use this to take people, this is all Gao Rou's old thief's personal confession, and it is justified!" ”

Cao Chao laughed, "Shiji, you are really alas, how could Gao Rou help you write such a thing?" ”

"I promised him that I would help him secretly save his grandson's life."

Cao Chao was silent for a while, Zhong Hui's ability is very strong, but this kind of behavior of taking matters into his own hands without asking the emperor is not acceptable to every emperor.

Even if he really did it for the emperor, it would still cause most people to be jealous.

Cao Chao didn't say anything, he put these things back on, and then sighed: "There is Shiji in the court, what else am I worried about?" ”

"Shiji, you have made a great contribution this time, I am thinking, this is a righteous thing, you don't want to do it, concentrate on Shangshutai, and add a servant."

The bell will light up.

This servant is the head of the ministers, responsible for decision-making, and is on the same level as Shang Shuling in nature.

When the imperial power was strong, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the prime minister.

Zhong Hui was overjoyed, hurriedly got up, and saluted Cao Chao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The ministers should do their best to assist Your Majesty! Create an immortal world!! ”

Cao Chao helped him up again, "Between you and me, there is no need to say this. ”

Zhong Hui is still very coaxing, and at this moment, he has long forgotten that the emperor first appreciated Jiao Bo Li Zhao's displeasure, and began to think about how he should be a qualified imperial prime minister.

Cao Chao was about to speak, but Zhong Hui took out a letter from his arms.

"Your Majesty, look at this again."

"What is this?"

Cao Chao took the letter, flipped through it, and was immediately shocked, this is Sima Fu's letter to Sima Wang??

Zhong Hui said with a smile: "Sima Fu is the retreat of the Sima family, he has fallen at this moment, he naturally hopes that his son can continue to hold this position, this letter is that he persuaded Sima Wang to take himself as a warning, to assist the Holy King well, not to do things that disappoint you, and to thank you for your forgiveness." ”

"With this, Yongliang's affairs can be settled."

"The minister thinks that Xun Yi can send someone to Yongliang, bring this letter to Sima Wang, and then persuade Chen Tai to defect to His Majesty."

"Your Majesty may not know that Chen Tai's mother is Xun Yi's sister, Chen Tai has lost his name, and it is also a good opportunity for him to make up for his mistakes at this moment, with Xun Yi to persuade him, he will not refuse."

"And Sima Wang, if he continues to serve as the back road, he can't disobey his biological father's orders, so that Yongliang will be peaceful."

Cao Chao looked at Zhong Hui again.

Isn't this efficiency a bit too outrageous??

It's no wonder that Sima Zhao was miserable by you when he was a week, and he continued to make meritorious contributions according to this efficiency, is this title enough to be sealed? ?

"What does Your Majesty think?"

"Shi Ji Dacai! Wizards of Skee! The world's capable ministers, there is no one like me!! ”

"Hahaha~~"

The bell will be very useful.

Cao Chao said again: "Shiji, if you still have things on your body, take them all, don't take them one by one."

When Zhong Hui heard this, he immediately smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve again and put it in front of Cao Chao.

Are you really taking it?

Cao Chao was a little numb at the moment, and took the letter, which turned out to be addressed to Zhuge Dan.

"Your Majesty, the captured captain Sima Ling is Zhuge Dan's son-in-law."

"I met him on the way today, and the minister had some friendship with him, so I promised him to send a letter to Zhuge Dan."

Cao Chao frowned and looked at the letter in his hand.

This is really a letter to the family, so that Zhuge should not worry about himself, his wife, and his children.

He also persuaded him not to be in a hurry to listen to others, and to wait for the order of General Wei.

"Shi Ji is planning to intimidate Zhuge Dan so that he doesn't dare to act rashly?"

"Hahaha, this person is worse than General Zhendong, for the rest of the generals, we can't rush to let them know the situation in Luoyang, but for Zhuge Dan, we must let him know in time, so that he won't follow to make trouble, he just wants to continue to be powerful in Yuzhou, as long as he doesn't rush out, we will have many opportunities to clean him up in the future."

Zhong Hui squinted, not paying attention to the heavily armed general at all.

"Your Majesty, although you are now pro-government, but you can't easily change the affairs of the temple, the local people are all from the big families, and there are also unruly generals with heavy troops in various places, Your Majesty must not be complacent, guard against arrogance and rashness, and act cautiously."

Cao Chao glanced at him, I should say this, right?

If you want to be proud and complacent, who can compare to you!
