Chapter 91: Hiding a knife in a smile

Cao Chao sat in the Tai Chi Hall, and every day a snowflake flew into the table, almost drowning him.

And these recitals were sent by the ministers from all over the country, who updated the emperor with the situation of the officials in various places in a timely manner.

Seeing these performances, although he had expected it, Cao Chao was so angry that he almost jumped up.

The situation of local officials is even worse than Cao Chao thought.

It is said that the wine bags and rice bags are praising them, and they are simply a group of beasts governing the counties of the Great Wei Dynasty instead of the temple.

Cao Chao's face darkened, and he once again finished reading the recital sent today.

"Your Majesty, eat something."

Husband Xu smiled and brought the food to Cao Chao, Cao Chao glanced at the rice in front of him and narrowed his eyes, "Yuancheng cuisine, Mrs. Zheng made it?" ”

"She arranged for someone to do it."

Cao Chao didn't speak again, and quickly finished the meal in front of him.

Xu's husband talked about many situations in the harem, including Zheng Xian's recent run to the Empress Dowager Guo all day long, and the relationship between the two has been eased.

Cao Chao was a little surprised, but he didn't care too much.

Empress Dowager Guo's affairs are no longer so important, Cao Chao is getting busier and busier now, and his daily schedule is almost full, he has no time to coax the Empress Dowager, especially now, when the temple is doing big things.

Cao Chao finished his meal and left the Taiji Hall in a car.

His destination was Shangshutai.

Today, the new official of Shangshutai has arrived, and the king Cao Chao needs to go over to visit one or two in person.

When the emperor's carriage stopped outside Shangshutai, the ministers hurriedly came out to greet them, led by Xun Yi and Chen Tai.

Chen Tai's appointment and dismissal was simpler than Cao Chao thought, and in a very short period of time, the ministers passed the appointment and dismissal of him, and he jumped up and became the right servant of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Follow Xun Yi to handle the affairs of Shangshutai.

For this situation, Xun Yi is both happy and worried.

Fortunately, Chen Tai's attitude was very humble, and he was very polite to the rest of his colleagues, and he looked like he was mainly the other party in the face of Xun Yi, which made Xun Yi lower his vigilance.

"Meet Your Majesty!!"

And they all bowed.

Cao Chao smiled and went to greet them, his attitude was very enthusiastic, and many Shangshu in Shangshutai and their officials and subordinates all felt the emperor's kindness.

Xun Yi led Cao Chao inside, and then many Shangshu took their seats.

Cao Chao looked at the people in front of him who really governed the world of Great Wei, and he said: "I came here today to reward the princes, and the prosperity of the Great Wei is all due to the merits of the princes." ”

"The ministers don't dare to take credit!"

Cao Chao talked with them cordially, asked them about their situation one by one, greeted their families, was approachable, and chatted for a long time, before Cao Chao let them each go about their own affairs.

When the ministers got up, Cao Chao grabbed Chen Tai again and began to tell him to do things with his heart.

The ministers did not dare to linger any longer, and left separately.

Cao Chao took Chen Tai with him and turned around in this scholar's desk.

The two of them walked here talking and laughing, pointing to the minister in the distance from time to time, asking what with a smile, Chen Tai replied with his head down, and Cao Chao nodded with satisfaction.

This scene is picturesque, and everyone in Shangshutai is working harder to do things.

But this is only because they didn't hear the specific conversation between the two.

Cao Chao smiled and pointed to a Shangshu in the distance, and asked Chen Tai: "Who can take over Yuan Liang's position?" ”

"What does Your Majesty think?"

"He doesn't know etiquette, let alone education, I think Wei Shu can replace him."

"That's true."

"Gong Chen doesn't know, this person should be killed."

Cao Chao said with a smile: "Guo Zhang's appearance was instigated by him before, and he was still in private with Feng Fu and others, wanting to deny my orthodoxy by convicting the general!" ”

Chen Tai was stunned, he didn't know how His Majesty the Emperor knew about these things, but it seemed that the Emperor seemed to know those people very well, and even what they were plotting recently was clear.

Cao Chao continued: "It is my fault to let such incompetent, mediocre, stupid, and treacherous people fill Shangshutai. ”

"They must be replaced one by one, I will tell you the truth, in this Shangshutai, except for you, the rest of the people can be disposed of, and there will definitely not be one who is wronged."

"However, they are powerful, and it is not good to act rashly, so they can only be broken one by one."

"Let's start with this Yuan Liang first, his position is too important, his Shangshu can be changed to the Ministry of Rites, this time Wei Gong will go to various places to supervise, and he will definitely make meritorious contributions, and then he can let Wei Gong replace him."

Chen Tai nodded, "That's how it should be." ”

Yuan Liang, who was pretending to discuss important matters with the officials in the distance, saw the emperor pointing at him several times, smiling, and Chen Tai on the side was still nodding, and his heart was even more happy.

Could it be that Naigong is about to be promoted?!

Cao Chao then talked about the rest of the Shangshu and the waiters.

Cao Chao was extremely aware of their crimes, and even knew what they said after drinking yesterday, and Chen Tai's head was lowered.

Cao Chao discussed with Chen Tai about the future employment arrangements, and then asked: "Chen Gong, what do you think Shang Shutai should do now?" ”

"Your Majesty, you should be the first to cure Hu."

"Huh??"

Cao Chao looked at Chen Tai in astonishment.

Hu people? Their rebellion was decades later, why do they say that they want to cure Hu?

Chen Tai frowned, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the minister is in Yongzhou, governing the place, because of years of war, Yongliang has been seriously damaged, and many people live with the Hu people, and both customs and styles are more and more biased towards the Hu people, which is something that the temple cannot despise!" ”

"At the beginning, Deng Gong once played the general, saying that the Qiang, Xianbei, and Wei people in the border area lived together, and the people in Yongliang and other places became more and more inclined to Hu Feng, and gradually broke away from the jurisdiction of the temple."

"Yongliang, and even secluded, the situation in these places is becoming more and more severe, the power of the Hu people is getting bigger and bigger, but the temples lack the means to be jealous of them and the means of governance, and always despise them."

"The general attaches great importance to this, and asks Biansai to separate them, organize the Qianghu into households, and let them know how to distinguish the doctrine of honesty and shame, but this matter has not lasted long, Your Majesty, now that this problem has just appeared, it is not the most serious time, if you don't think of a way to deal with it now, then when they form a climate, it will not be so easy to govern."

Cao Chao was shocked.

This man can.

If you go out now and tell others that the Hu people are going to rebel, you will probably be ridiculed.

Don't look at the Three Kingdoms has entered the stage of comparison, but that's not something that the Hu people can talk about, Shu Han pulled Qiang Hu to attack Cao Wei every year, Cao Wei was not wrong, the Hu people in the northeast Peninsula dared to provoke, and Biqiu Jian went directly to destroy the country.

Not to mention Wei, it is Shu, whose national strength is relatively weak, and it is a dimensionality reduction blow to the barbarians in the border area.

The same is true for Wu.

Therefore, they didn't think that the Hu people could be a big problem at all, Cao Wei and Shu Han both liked to use Hu mercenaries, including Cao Chao's Chinese army, in fact, there were also Hu cavalry.

This is an old tradition from the Han Dynasty, and the tradition of using Hu cavalry in the Han Dynasty can be traced all the way back to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

But Chen Tai could actually sense that something was wrong.

This will happen decades from now.

Deng Ai even read earlier than him?

It was also thanks to Sima Shi that he accepted his advice, and if he replaced the rest of his successors, he was afraid that he would laugh to death Deng Ai.

Chen Tai looked at the emperor's incredulous gaze and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not talking nonsense, the situation here is really not like what the ministers said."

"Chen Gong, you don't have to explain, I understand what you said."

"Since you have opened your mouth, it must be the truth, I know who you are and what you are capable of, and you will not say anything without a reason."

"Just do what you want."

At this moment, Chen Tai was really moved indescribably in his heart, even Sima Shi had never given Chen Tai such trust.

He hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!!" ”

Cao Chao smiled and helped him up, "There are many traitors in the temple, but there are still sages like you, which is why I dare to follow the great unification of my ancestors and think that I can live up to them." ”

Cao Chao's Shangshutai day was over, and he left here.

Many of the officials in Shangshutai also left.

When Yuan Liang returned to the mansion, familiar old friends were waiting for him.

"He Gong, why are you here?"

Yuan Liang hurriedly met with the visitor, He Zeng replied with a smile: "Some time ago, I didn't have a lot of fun drinking with you, there were always outsiders present, and I came to your mansion today to think of drinking alone with you!" ”

Yuan Liang hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare the meal, took He Zeng's hand, and came to the inner room together.

He was tired all these days.

He was ordered by the emperor to have frequent contacts with these ministers in the temple through Feng Fulai, and he was famous and not very face-saving, so he quickly established a good friendship with these people.

has even become a small leader in these anti-Cao Chao gangs, and many people hope that he can come forward and overthrow the emperor again, and he will serve as Shang Shuling.

Regarding this idea of the ministers, He Zeng could only say that they were thinking too much.

However, He Zeng also became an important spy of the emperor, and with his help, the emperor knew the movements of these people.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty is visiting today, you don't know, Your Majesty has watched me do things several times, nodding one after another, I see, Your Majesty has discovered my talent and is ready to reuse me."

Hearing Yuan Liang's words, He Zeng almost laughed out loud.

Yes, yes, yes, reuse, absolute reuse.

I specially sent someone to ask me to collect evidence, and it seems that it is probably the treatment of Tingwei and Yushitai who jointly dealt with it.

There are not many people who can get such treatment, and it can definitely be regarded as reuse.

Just these fools, where did they have the guts to dare to get along with Your Majesty??
