Zhang Yi was taken out of the door by several armor soldiers.

Zhang Yi has been imprisoned in the palace for these days, and he is basically unaware of the situation outside.

It can be seen that the food in Wei is still good, and Zhang Yi is also fat in vain at the moment, anyway, he has not been wronged in Wei State.

Led by the armor, he soon came to a mansion.

Zhang Yi looked at the mansion in front of him and asked, "Who are you taking me to see this time?" ”

Zhang Yi is often pulled out to meet guests these days.

Well, it is to take it out to meet the captives and vassals from the state of Wu.

Every time someone from Wu came to surrender or was caught, Cao Chao would ask people to take Zhang Yi to meet these people.

On the one hand, it is to highlight the national strength of the Wei State, and show the Wu people that the generals of the Shu State are all here as guests!

In addition, it is also to show them their tolerance, you see that Zhang Yi has not been humiliated at this level, he has good food, good drink and good hospitality, and he has been raised by us for nothing.

He just played the role of such a mascot.

Although Zhang Yi was helpless about this, he couldn't do anything about it, he was different from people like Jiang Wei who had the will to die, although he never surrendered, but he didn't commit suicide.

The officer in charge of looking after him laughed, "You'll find out later." ”

This smile made Zhang Yi have some bad guesses.

When I walked into the house, I saw a person walking towards this side with a smile.

Zhang Yi looked at it, and suddenly he was not calm.

"Your Majesty!!"

"Your Majesty!!"

Zhang Yi staggered forward and bowed down, while Liu Chan hurriedly helped him up.

"Zhang Qing hasn't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

Hearing Liu Chan's inquiry, Zhang Yi couldn't come back to his senses at the moment, "Your Majesty, how could you, big man?"

Liu Chan looked at Zhang Yi, who was almost collapsed in front of him, and sighed, "I have already submitted to Your Majesty, and I will not be called Your Majesty in the future, I am now the same as you, and I am a minister of the same court." ”

Zhang Yi's face was dull at the moment.

During these years, he was imprisoned in the mansion and knew nothing about the major events in the world, how could he not understand why the Great Han perished?

How could it perish so quickly?

"Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei?!"

Zhang Yi asked.

"He's dead."

Liu Chan replied.

In Zhang Yi's eyes, there was first stunned, then anger, and then grief.

His expression kept changing, and in the end, he only let out a long sigh of weakness.

"Alas"

Liu Chan didn't care about this, just took his hand, invited him back to the inner room, let him sit beside him, and then greeted him.

Zhang Yi just answered Liu Chan's question numbly.

When Zhang Yi walked out of the mansion in a daze, the armor soldiers did not send him back to his mansion, but came directly to the Taiji Palace.

Cao Chao sat on the top seat, with all kinds of music tables placed in front of him, and he looked at Zhang Yi who was sitting on the side.

"Zhang Gong, how is it, have you met An Le Gong?"

Zhang Yi did not speak.

Cao Chao opened his mouth and said, "I thought you had thought of this day a long time ago. ”

"How can it be so easy to fight the world with the power of one state? Ming Jun and virtuous ministers, fierce generals, the people are united, the grain and grass are sufficient, and there is still the strength of a war, but Shu Kingdom, which point does it occupy? ”

"The more Jiang Wei wants to save Shu Han, the faster Shu Han will perish, and he can't sit back and wait for the Han to perish Zhang Gong, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Do you continue to be a trophy and follow your old master to greet you when the Wu Kingdom is destroyed, or do you want to make a contribution and do something?"

Cao Chao's inquiry was quite direct, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he went straight to the point.

Zhang Yi was stopped by him, and he fell silent again.

Cao Chao was not in a hurry, "Zhang Gong can go back and think about it, you have not yet reached the age of those people in Liaohua, and today's Great Wei also lacks generals who can fight well, come on, and send Zhang Gong back to rest!" ”

The soldiers then led Zhang Yi out of here.

Cao Chao is not in a hurry, anyway, what should be said has been said, and what should be done has been done, and then it depends on Zhang Yi's own thoughts.

After sending Zhang Yi away, Cao Chao began to summon many ministers.

During the time when Cao Chao left Luoyang and went to Chang'an, a lot of major events happened in the temple.

These ministers were anxious to meet them.

The first person Cao Chao wanted to summon was Wang Chang.

After all, Shangshutai is the foundation of governance, and Wang Chang is undoubtedly the most aware of what the temple has done in these days.

Wang Chang had already prepared and was waiting to be summoned, so Cao Chao soon met this Great Wei Shangshuling.

Wang Chang looked a little regretful.

Speaking of which, Wang Changcai should be the most qualified general in the Great Wei, after all, among the four expeditions, his status is the highest, slightly higher than Hu Zun, Zhuge Dan can't compare.

And this time he failed to participate in the war of annihilation.

Cao Chao looked at Wang Chang's expression and said with a smile: "It's a pity, the prince is too good at governance, otherwise he can be the boss!" ”

Wang Chang replied: "If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have offered advice to Your Majesty in the first place." ”

The two laughed together.

Wang Chang also has a lot of feelings about this war, "After so many years, Shu has finally been pacified, and the minister didn't expect that the war would be so fast." ”

"There will never be a Yongliang rush in the future"

Wang Chang said, but Cao Chao shook his head.

"Shu is pacified, but Yongliang is not."

"Thanks to the blessing of our general who destroyed Shu, Yongliang's fire was blown by him enough, if he can't appease and educate, something big will happen sooner or later."

Cao Chao frowned.

Deng Ai's killing can only delay the contradictions, not eliminate them, and using killing to suppress the contradictions is the easiest, but it is also the easiest to cause problems.

However, this matter will have to be discussed slowly.

The tribes of Yongliang surrendered again at this moment, although they had already surrendered, but this time it was different, they were directly guarded as prisoners.

Zhuge Xu and Sima Wang have been writing to ask Cao Chao how to solve these people.

Cao Chao thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to let Pei Xiulai think of a way for himself

Such a good thing of making contributions and making a name for himself in future generations is naturally handed over to capable people, which is a gift!

The two of them stopped talking about these things anymore and began to talk about Shangshutai.

Wang Chang took out the recital sheet and seriously described the many situations in Shangshutai during this period of time.

First of all, in agriculture, Lu Zhi began to ban the tuntian system in various parts of the Great Wei Dynasty according to Cao Chao's requirements.

The tuntian system saved a lot of people at the beginning, but now it has become a burden, and the tuntian system is also bloated, and without the orders of the government, the people can't even get seeds

Corruption is rampant, and the annual expenditure on farming accounts for a disproportionate proportion.

The ban on the tuntian system of the temple organization and the use of the way of renting seeds, although it will reduce the direct income, but also reduce a lot of costs, the temple no longer needs to provide all kinds of things to the people, nor does it need to maintain such a huge tuntian system, and many links are saved, and there is not so much room for corruption.

From the fourth year of the Zhengyuan Dynasty, Cao Wei completely abolished the tuntian system and adopted the method of renting public land.

Cao Chao still trusts Lu Zhi, and Wang Chang talked about other things about Gongtian.

"After General Hu, the assassins in various places also began to measure and investigate the public fields, and then discovered a large number of occupied public fields, and the number of public fields occupied by more than eight county guards has not yet been calculated."

Wang Chang said, suddenly got up and bowed to Cao Chao.

"Your Majesty, my clansmen have even bought public land if the ministers are not strict in discipline, and I have ordered them to be arrested and asked to hand over all the land as compensation, old minister"

Wang Chang looked embarrassed.

Cao Chao pursed his lips, if such a situation occurs everywhere, it can only mean one thing.

It is that almost none of these prominent clans in today's temples can escape, and they are probably involved in similar things.

This may not be considered an illegal act among the big clans, it is a private consensus, since Emperor Wen, the temple has not cared so much about these things, and has taken a tacit approach to the behavior of the big clan.

During the Ming Emperor's period, he wanted to rectify it, but he quickly gave up.

Cao Chao now probably understands the reason why Emperor Ming will give up, there are too many people involved.

If you are hard-hearted, whoever touches the public land will die, then Cao Chao's henchmen will be killed cleanly.

There is no one to rule the world for him.

Cao Chao can't just use people from humble backgrounds like Zhang Hua and Wang Jing to do things, right?

Seeing that Cao Chao's face was not very good-looking, Wang Chang couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the things in this place are really difficult to deal with."

"Alright, just return it, it's fine."

Cao Chao opened his mouth at this time, his face was no longer so serious, one day, these ministers he relied on might also stand on the opposite side of him, when he began to comprehensively sanction these big clans

However, these issues do not need to be considered at this time.

Wang Chang talked about the work of other departments.

During this period, apart from the Ministry of Agriculture, the busiest department was still the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of Officials completed the evaluation of the previous year's political performance, and according to the evaluation standards made by the Zhong Hui, a large number of practical talents were promoted, and those officials who failed were punished.

Zhonghui's competition system looks a little cruel, but it really motivates local officials very well, so that they dare not slack off, but there are also cases of malicious brushing of political achievements, and the officials are not soft on such situations.

Every year, many officials hit the muzzle of the gun, and Cao Chao is not surprised, and what makes Cao Chao feel a little relieved is that the number of people is getting smaller and smaller.

Zheng Yuan has done quite well in these days, well, his title should also be upgraded.

And the highlight is from the Ministry of Rites.

During the time when Cao Chao left, Pei Xiu was also doing his best to handle the major affairs of the state, and he sent several Shangshulang from the Ministry of Rites to the local area.

It is said that the scholars have not yet returned.
