During the Cao Wei period, the emperor praised a prince for being virtuous, which was simply too bad.

Cao Chao took Cao Yi back to the palace.

The reason why Cao Chao met Cao Ju and Cao Qi was because they were arranged.

Cao Ju, like Cao Yu, is an old man who belongs to the clan, and Cao Ju is more famous in the clan because he passively competed with Cao Chao for the throne in the past.

If you want to appease the clan, you can actually do a lot by starting from Cao Ju.

Cao Chao had to change the stereotype of the emperor in the clan, not every emperor would persecute his own clan.

Cao Chao had high hopes for these princes and kings, of course, Cao Chao would not make all his relatives kings like An Shi, give them land, money, population, and army, and fully trust them.

Doing so is simply self-inflicted trouble, and the harm is even greater than the rebellion of the kings in the early Han Dynasty.

However, even if they did not have military and financial power, the princes and kings could have a certain deterrent effect on the local level.

The assassins are equivalent to the eyes of the emperor, but the assassins are related to the interests of the local clans, and some are even in-laws, and Cao Chao can't say that the future assassins must choose those from a poor family, so they need some other eyes.

The princes and kings could write letters to the emperor at any time, and they would not have much to do with the local clans, unless they planned to rebel.

Take the initiative to get close to the big clan locally, even if the princes and kings dare to do this, the big clan may not dare.

Cao Chao wants to make his eyes all over the world and be able to grasp the trends of the world at any time.

Of course, today's Great Wei also needs a secret agency.

Cao Wei has his own secret agency, the school affairs of Cao Cao's period, also known as the school, Cao Chao let Guo Jian hold such a position.

However, since the end of Emperor Wen, this position has basically been in a rotten state.

By now, there is no longer the ability to stab the traitor.

In a short period of time, it is still a little difficult for Cao Chao to restart this department.

Cao Chao's attitude towards Cao Ju is very good, there are talking and laughing, although Cao Ju is afraid, but he also forcibly squeezes out a smile.

Cao Chao set up a banquet in the East Hall, and the people who came were Cao Yu, Xiahou Xian, Cao Yan and many other clans.

The arrival of these people finally made Cao Ju feel a lot more at ease.

Xiahou Xian's attitude towards Cao Chao was the most respectful, when the emperor came to the Chinese army and wanted to "bribe" the soldiers with money, he also thought about changing the emperor's mind.

But later, as Cao Chao frequently went to the Chinese army, the Chinese army changed more and more, and its morale skyrocketed.

It was only within a year that the Chinese army became completely different from the army that Xiahou Xian had taken over.

The current Chinese army really has the feeling that Cao Wei had in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Moreover, Cao Chao's status in the Chinese army is extremely high, he is very familiar with many generals and captains, Xiahou Xian feels that the emperor's control of the Chinese army has probably surpassed the previous emperors, may not be as good as Emperor Wu, but has surpassed Emperor Wen.

Cao Chao's influence is still fermenting among the generals in various theaters, after all, this is the first one to improve the treatment of soldiers after the pro-government.

Cao Yu, who serves as Zongzheng, should be similar to Cao Yi, he is timid and afraid of things, obedient to Cao Chao's words, has no opinions, and is an invisible person like Zheng Chong.

As for Cao Yan, this one is the most enthusiastic, and since he came in, he has been touting the emperor, and his mouth has not stopped.

"Your Majesty set up a family banquet, this is the first time, in the past, Emperor Ming set up a family banquet, and only summoned a prince and asked him to bring his son-in-law here, and there has never been such a reason for multiple clans to gather together!"

Of course, for Emperor Biwen, Emperor Ming, who can reuse the clan, is still more reliable.

Cao Chao smiled and did not speak.

Cao Yan looked at Cao Ju on the side, and said: "King, Your Majesty is extremely benevolent to the clan today, and as soon as he was in power, he let the clans return to their fiefdoms, and gave them a lot of rewards.

Cao Yan showed his past attitude towards Sima Shi.

This actually vaguely increased his importance in Cao Chao's heart, although this guy's moral level is limited, and he has also participated in the abolition of the emperor with Sima Shi in the past, but with his identity and mouth, he can still be closer.

No wonder Sima Shi would use him.

The things that this old man left to himself are all treasures.

To appease the clan through this fight should be able to achieve good results.

At this moment, Cao Chao looked at Cao Yu on the side again, and suddenly had some thoughts in his heart.

It seems that compared to Cao Yu, Cao Yan is more suitable to serve as Zongzheng?

This time, Cao Yi came here, and Cao Chao actually wanted him to replace Cao Yu, because he was more famous and cowardly, which could have the effect of appeasing the clan and reducing the obstacles of Shang Shutai.

But now it seems that Cao Yan is the most suitable one.

He is shameless enough and willing to climb up.

If he is allowed to serve as the clan and let him go to various vassal states to blow it like this, it is estimated that many people will be able to change their opinion of themselves.

Just when Cao Yan was talking to them, the last person was late.

The person who came was Cao Fang, the king of Qi.

Seeing this person, Cao Yan was immediately speechless.

It is inevitable to be a little embarrassed to meet at this moment, after all, the matter of abolishing the King of Qi in the first place was handled by Cao Yan with the help of Sima Shi.

Cao Fang didn't take this matter to heart, he bowed to the crowd, and then sat down beside them.

There were too many people who wanted to abolish him at the beginning, and almost all the ministers in the entire temple followed Sima Shi, and Cao Fang never thought of holding grudges one by one.

When King Qi arrived, Cao Yu and Cao Yan were a little nervous, but Cao Ju was relieved a lot.

Compared with himself, it seems that the threat of King Qi is greater, that is, if he dies, he should die first.

This made Cao Ju feel a lot more relieved.

Cao Chao started at this moment, "How good it is for all of my Cao family to gather here." ”

"There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it."

"Over the years, my Cao family's country has gone through several twists and turns, if it weren't for us people, how could Great Wei persist until now?"

"This is still the credit of His Majesty"

Cao Yan smiled and sent a word of flattery.

"In the future, I hope it can be the credit of everyone, this great Wei Jiangshan, we still need our own family to help, now the powerful clans and people everywhere are doing evil, things like this are not easy to solve by the assassin history, only rely on the clans around the country to do these things."

Cao Chao did not hide his thoughts, and in front of several people, he told his truest thoughts.

"I am from the clan, I know in my heart how the temple treated the clan in the past, but it will not be like this again in the future, I will let you help the temple in various places, stabilize the world, and complete the great cause that our generations have not been able to complete."

Hearing Cao Chao's words, Cao Ji reacted at this time, it seems that he doesn't need to die?

The emperor still needs them?

Cao Yan was overjoyed, the emperor wanted to reuse the clan, this was his opportunity.

Cao Chao looked at Cao Yu, "King Yan, you are an old man in the clan, and I originally wanted you to serve as the head of the sect and be responsible for the affairs of the sect, but you are already very old, I really don't want you to continue to work hard, I am ready to let you return to the fiefdom, and by the way, I also look at the situation in Hebei." ”

Cao Yu was not the slightest dissatisfied with this.

He didn't want to stay in Luoyang at all, and he wished he could leave early.

Cao Chao looked at Cao Yan, who was eager to try, but deliberately looked at Cao Yi on the side, "King Pengcheng, are you willing to take the position of Zongzheng today?" ”

Cao Ji hesitated.

To be honest, of course he didn't want to stay in Luoyang, although the emperor didn't want to move his own thoughts now, but it was really hard to say what would happen in the future.

Besides, when you come to the temple to do things, how can you play in the fiefdom to be interesting?

Sima Shi didn't embarrass him much in the past, he had a good life in the fiefdom, and he didn't really want to be a Zongzheng, but he was afraid that he would offend the emperor if he refused.

At this moment, he saw Cao Yan with a nervous face, and immediately had an idea.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Pingle Township Marquis is more suitable for this position."

Cao Chao looked at Cao Yan at this time, and he said with a smile: "The Pingle Township Marquis is also suitable, but the Township Marquis has always been good at martial arts, I don't know if this righteous position is wronged?" ”

"No grievances, no grievances, the minister is willing to serve His Majesty!!"

Cao Yan hurriedly got up and expressed his loyalty.

At this banquet, Cao Chao said a lot of things, and these people naturally understood what the emperor meant, this is to ask them to be the microphone to help the emperor to pass the word.

Even people like Cao Yi understood what the emperor meant.

In the following days, Cao Chao got together with them from time to time, until this day, Cao Qi, the king of the East China Sea, also came to Luoyang.

Cao Chao naturally came to greet him in person.

Cao Qi, the king of the East China Sea, walked down from the carriage with an uneasy face, and there were tears on his face.

He looks somewhat similar to Cao Chao, but he is younger and thinner, and he has a feeling of resignation.

"Meet Your Majesty."

After he saw Cao Chao in the distance, he hurriedly made a big salute to greet him, and in a panic, he didn't care about soiling his clothes.

Cao Qi, the king of the East China Sea, is Cao Chao's half-brother.

Cao Chao is the eldest son, and Cao Qi is the son-in-law.

But in the eyes of King Ding of the East China Sea, they are no different, and they are all right for both of them.

It's just that Cao Qi still has a mother to protect him, but Cao Chao does not.

At this moment, Cao Qi burst into tears again in fear.

Emperor Cao has always had a tradition of persecuting his younger brother.

And the current emperor only has a younger brother like him.

Cao Qi couldn't help but think of the rumors he could often hear when he was in the East China Sea Country at this moment.

By the way, those rumors seem to be told by my brother!

Will he force himself to become a poem in seven steps?

But I don't know how to write poetry at all!

I knew I should have studied hard in the first place.

Cao Chao looked at the little guy in front of him, couldn't help but chuckle, and stepped forward to help him up.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you so tall, how are you, have you learned to write poetry now?"

After Cao Qi heard this, his eyes turned red, and he was about to cry immediately.

Cao Chao looked at him, but he raised his head and laughed.
