"An Le Gong, are you still used to living here?"

Cao Chao was leading Liu Chan to walk in the county guard's mansion.

Liu Chan lowered his head and replied with an embarrassed smile: "Your Majesty, the residence is simple, the house is small, and there is little pleasure, but it is much better than rushing." ”

Cao Chao smiled, "The accommodation arranged for An Le Gong is the mansion of your general Jiang Wei in Hanzhong. ”

"He is the highest official in the Han Dynasty, and he deliberately let An Le Gong live in his mansion, but I didn't expect it to be simple?"

Liu Chan was speechless and hesitant.

Cao Chao said: "This Jiang Wei is also stupid, he doesn't hoard arable land for himself, nor does he build luxurious courtyards to enjoy, and he thinks about how to go out to invade my Great Wei all day long." ”

"I heard that there is a eunuch under the command of An Le Gong, called Huang Hao, he is much smarter, and the soldiers who entered Shu have fully confiscated more than 60 courtyards under his name, which are distributed in various places within the Sword Pavilion, but unfortunately, there is Jiang Wei here, he does not dare to seize land here and build a mansion."

"Otherwise, you can let An Le Gong live in his mansion!"

Liu Chan's eyes were in a trance and he didn't speak.

Cao Chao led Liu Chan into the hall, where more than forty ministers were seated.

These are all important ministers and important generals of Shu.

After a few days of cultivation, their complexion was much better.

Seeing Cao Chao and Liu Chan coming in together, they hurriedly got up and bowed to each other.

There were armor soldiers staring around, and Cheng Ji was guarding the door.

Cao Chao passed through the middle of them, sat on the top seat, and then let An Legong sit beside him.

Cao Chao invited the ministers to take their seats.

Then I watched it.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he looked at Liu Chan sitting beside him, and said:

"An Le Gong, when I was in Luoyang, I envied you very much, there are so many heroes and talents in Shudi, aren't these people here all sages who can govern the world?"

Hearing Cao Chao's words, Liu Chan was a little disapproving, and he sighed: "Where can I compare to Your Majesty?" The Central Plains is full of talents, where can a Shu land be compared? ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, the faces of these ministers suddenly changed.

Emperor Cao Wei, who belonged to outsiders, praised them like this, but his own emperor said such things.

However, it is really not surprising to think of the usual behavior of his own emperor.

Cao Chao shook his head, "How can you say that?" The land of Bashu heroes and heroes, since ancient times, there are many talents, condensing the heroic spirit of the world, and the talents here, which one is not as good as the people with lofty ideals in the Central Plains? ”

Liu Chan still didn't agree, he said: "It should be like this." ”

Cao Chao said solemnly: "If the virtuous person that An Le Gong thinks is a person like Huang Hao, it is indeed incomparable to Dawei, and Huang Hao's reputation can be heard even in Luoyang." ”

"I heard that this person suppresses the virtuous inside, excludes dissidents, installs his own cronies, supports his own people outside, annexes land and fertile land, and the ministers have bad advice and unfavorable performances for him, he will exile this person, and if there is flattery and nonsense, he will promote this person!"

"An Le Gong is my minister today, isn't it because of such a person?"

"To govern the world, we should open our voices and listen to advice, and we should not block the road of loyalty, An Le Gong despises the important ministers of the court, but he trusts a villain like Huang Hao, and he can't listen to the advice, which makes the aspirants feel cold."

"Such a thing should be a lesson for future generations!"

Liu Chan's face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to refute, just bowed his head and said nothing.

And at this moment, even the ministers who were closest to Liu Chan were speechless.

Cao Chao pointed to the important minister in front of him again, and said: "I heard that Shu has a servant Fan Jian, who is strong and upright, honest, and does not collude with thieves. ”

"There is a book to order Dong Ju, check and fill in the gaps, work seriously, and never make mistakes."

"There is the protector Jiang Bin, who is kind and virtuous, has the prince and servant Jiang Xian, has a handsome appearance, is good at words, has a good book and a guard, has good policies, is good at governance, has a secretary Ling Zheng, is indifferent to fame and fortune, is strong and upright, has a doctor of Guanglu, has extraordinary knowledge, and is knowledgeable."

"There are also generals such as Liao Hua, Zong Pre, Huo Yi, Zhang Tong, Yan Yu and many others, all of whom are brave and good at fighting."

"In addition to the important ministers, there are also Li Mi, Chen Shou, Liu Yin, Chang Miao, Zhang Yi, Xiang Tiao, Xiang Chong, Dong Hong, Deng Liang, Wen Li, Fei Gong and other loyal and young talents."

"Aren't these people considered virtuous?!"

Cao Chao asked again.

And at this moment, the ministers of Shu are not calm.

Their eyes were full of surprise.

Although the countries are also familiar with each other's situation, even they can't say the names of the officials or talents in Wei in such detail.

It is said that the emperor of Wei loves Xian, it turns out to be true!

Liu Chan was a little stunned at the moment, Cao Chao didn't say anything, he didn't know that he was still full of talents.

Looking at Liu Chan with a blank face, Cao Chao said again: "However, An Le Gong returned in time and preserved these talents for me, which is the reason why I treat An Le Gong so well." ”

Cao Chao looked at many ministers at this time, and he said seriously: "The world has been in turmoil for many years, the people have suffered poison, the loyal and good have been persecuted, and Shu is in the border fortress. ”

"I'm afraid that it has the ambition of the former Han Huns, I heard that the Spring and Autumn Cloud: Respect the king!"

"If we want to defeat foreign enemies and protect China, we must unify with the momentum!"

"You are all virtuous, I am very relieved, you are all virtuous, this is the time for the husband to make contributions and leave a name in history!"

"I have always had clear rewards and punishments, and when I return to Luoyang, I will reuse it, I hope you can despise the little things in the past, and don't miss such an opportunity!"

Cao Chao said again: "If there are old ministers who are willing to return to their hometowns to live in peace, I will not be persecuted, and they can stay in Shu to live in their old age." ”

Hearing these words, the ministers immediately couldn't help it.

Cao Chao saw that many people's eyes lit up.

At this moment, a person stood up tremblingly.

The person who got up was the old general Zong Pre, he was already in very bad health, just coming to Hanzhong from Chengdu, he couldn't stand it anymore, and his condition deteriorated.

Although he wasn't sure if what Cao Chao said was the truth, he had nothing to worry about when he reached this point, so he simply said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is old and sick, and he really can't bear the pain of the road, if Your Majesty can be gracious and allow the old minister to stay in Shu to support his old age, the old minister is willing to close his door from now on and never interact with others again."

Cao Chao immediately frowned, "How can this be done?" ”

A hint of disappointment flashed in the ministers' eyes.

Cao Chao said: "Why don't you close the door? Isn't this a prisoner general? ”

"Don't worry, old general, if you are unwell, then stay in Hanzhong, you don't have to go to Luoyang, your people can also stay in Hanzhong, serve by your side, I will reward you with a mansion and some arable land, your people can farm here and support themselves, if you are sick, you can go out at will, and you will not suffer any obstacles!"

At this moment, everyone was in an uproar.

There is also a difference between the ministers, and it is impossible for Cao Chao to bring all the officials of Shu to Luoyang.

However, at least this group of people from the DPRK and China must be taken away.

Because their officials are very high, and they have a lot of appeal in the local area, especially Zong Pre, this is the general of the town army of Shu, anyone can stay, and he can't stay.

Isn't the emperor afraid that they will rebel again? ?

Cao Chao is really not afraid.

Not to mention that many old ministers of Shu died on the way, and it is not unreasonable to say whether Zong Zhu, an old man in his seventies, can oppose any rebellion.

The common people of Shu were tired of the war, and the reckless military force in the later period of Shu made them so miserable, Cao Chao didn't believe it, and they would still think of rebelling under their own rule.

If the Shu people are going to rebel because of their own governance, then it is not Zong's problem, it is Cao Chao's own problem!

can eat, life is better than before, An Shi's son went to rebel!

Seeing that Cao Chao really agreed, the ministers of Shu were even more stunned.

Liu Chan didn't understand a little, didn't he just promise that they could resign and stay?

You can do it yourself, too.

Cao Chao looked at the faces of the ministers of the Shu Kingdom, and asked again, "Are there any other people who want to stay?" ”

Liao Hua also stood up at this moment, his situation was better than Zong's, but he was also really old, and he didn't know how many days he had to live, at this time, even if he could reach Luoyang alive, he was afraid that he would die directly in Luoyang.

He said seriously: "Your Majesty, the minister is old, and I also want to ask Your Majesty to be merciful and allow the minister to stay in Shu."

"Okay, like Zonggong, you are also allowed to stay in Hanzhong!"

Cao Chao waved his hand and agreed directly.

The ministers of Shu looked at each other.

Fan Jian couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

No wonder the Shu Kingdom perished at the hands of this man.

It's really unjust.

Cao Chao asked again, but no minister said that he wanted to stay.

Cao Chao is very happy, which shows that these people are really willing to follow Cao Chao to do things.

There are actually a lot of talents in Shu, even those who have not been outstanding, there are very many, which is the biggest harvest for Cao Chao, who has always loved talent.

Cao Chao has high requirements for officials, and most of these ministers of Shu are people who can do things and give few suggestions, but Cao Chao is not worried, there are too many people who can give advice in Wei State, and Shangshutai is full!

What is missing is this kind of person who can do what is ordered.

Besides, there is really a shortage of talents in Dawei's place.

These people can complement the place well and become one of the cornerstones of Cao Chao's governance of the world.

The contrast between Liu Chan and Cao Chao also became clearer in the eyes of the ministers.

Many ministers are already looking forward to a new treatment under the new king.
