"What the prince said is reasonable."

Cao Chao nodded, and said: "The garrison of Shu still needs you to pay more attention."

Chen Qian immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although Deng Ai's matter has caused a certain amount of chaos to the Shu enemy, the military department will definitely not live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." ”

Cao Chao paused, and then said with a smile: "When you talk about Deng Ai, I think of one thing. ”

"But what about Deng Ai?"

"Yes, he has also reflected on his placement in the mansion for a while, I feel that the garrison of this Shu land cannot be completed by a few people, so it is better to let him be a deputy to Chen Gong."

Chen Qian was speechless immediately.

He just scolded Deng Ai twice in a row, but he didn't want to hear these words from the emperor's mouth.

Chen Qian realized from the emperor's abnormal behavior at the beginning that the matter might be related to Deng Ai, so he made several moves, but he didn't expect that the emperor was unmoved at all, and when he saw the move, he insisted on bringing up this matter.

At this time, Chen Qian seemed very weak.

He had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the minister knows General Deng's talent, but His Majesty also knows General Deng's character."

Cao Chao waved his hand, "I also know Chen Gong's intelligence, others may still be afraid of him, how can Chen Gong worry about him?" Even if he has radical and inappropriate ideas, Chen Gong will definitely be able to discern them! ”

Cao Chao has said everything to this point, so Chen Qian has no reason to object.

He could only agree to it.

Let's hope that brute won't take himself into the ditch again!!

Chen Qian believes in his own intelligence, but Deng Ai is a person, he is strong in always being able to use reason to persuade others to accept those crazy views!

Chen Qian didn't know if he could resist it!

If you believe him, if something big happens, you will be unlucky!

Chen Qian left with a dark face.

Yang Zong turned around and walked in, "These ministers are very dissatisfied with General Deng. ”

"Don't talk about the ministers, I am very dissatisfied with him, as soon as I deposed him, he began to worry about the war in Huainan, and he also wanted to replace the general of the chariot cavalry!"

"He actually said that the general of the chariot cavalry can formulate a strategy, but he can't take care of the overall situation, so he can only be the commander of the partial army, listen to what this is?!"

Yang Zong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, no one is perfect, but most of the talented people are a little arrogant, just like your favorite Zhong Hui, Zhang Hua and others, isn't it the same?" ”

"Needless to say, Zhong Hui's arrogance is that Zhang Hua, who looks humble and introverted, but when he heard your canonization, he didn't even hesitate, he agreed directly, and went to Bashu non-stop, and began to rectify the local officials, without the slightest mercy and forbearance, which is also a manifestation of arrogance."

Cao Chao shook his head, "This is different. ”

"Zhong Hui is only thirty-three years old, and Zhang Hua is only twenty-six years old."

"But what about Deng Ai? How old is he? His sons were older than both of them! ”

Cao Chao complained for a moment, and then said: "Let him enter the military department, first be responsible for making plans, and then find a place for him to go farming!" ”

Yang Zong took out a recital from his sleeve and put it in front of Cao Chao.

"Your Majesty, this is the top table of King Pei Cao Wei."

Cao Chao took the watch and looked at it for a moment.

The anger on his face finally dissipated a little, and he said with a smile: "It seems that this sect still has some effect. ”

King Pei's letter is very simple, that is, first greeting Cao Chao, then thanking him for his kindness, and finally talking about his recent situation.

When he talked about his recent situation, he told an interesting story: when he went out to play, he inadvertently found a group of officials gathered in the mansion to disperse, and he had already informed the assassin about it, and the assassin said that he would definitely deal with it.

Of course, Cao Chao believed that he must have found it by accident.

And this is of course a good thing for Cao Chao.

The princes and kings began to gradually get rid of their confinement, and the power of the clan rose again, and they also became the eyes and ears of Cao Chao on the place, and began to actively contribute their own strength.

In the face of collusion among officials, who would dare to impeach?

The princes and kings dare, they are not a system, what are you afraid of doing? It's useless for all the local officials to gather, a kind of murder me?

The last time they tried to murder the princes and kings, the three clans were all praised by the emperor.

Officials had a close relationship with each other because of their birth and marriage, but this was not the case with princes and kings, who were a special division.

Even if the princes and kings are guilty, it is not something that the local officials can deal with, and in the end, they may attract the servants to hold the festival, and by that time, there will be even more unlucky people.

Yang Zong smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, in addition to these princes and kings, the clan still has many descendants, Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for saying bluntly, the strength of the clan lies in the people."

"The reason why the Sima family was so strong at the beginning was because there were many people, if you talk about the number of clans, Emperor Taizu had a lot of heirs, and the children of today's clan are not known to be many times that of the Sima family, if Your Majesty can pay attention to these people and support these people more"

Cao Chao asked, "How does Yang Gong think he should support him?" ”

"Emperor Wen has set up schools in various places, why doesn't Your Majesty encourage the children of the clan to go to study more?"

"In addition, Taixue can also recruit some children of the clan, let them learn more classics, participate in the military more, and within ten years, His Majesty's heart may be suppressed."

Looking at Yang Zong's eyes, Cao Chao probably understood his thoughts.

Let your family become the first family, and then you can suppress the rest of the big families.

This idea does not mention the harm in the future, and there is still some merit in the situation where many clans control everything.

Cao Chao didn't hesitate, and directly let Yang Zong do it.

He also wanted to see how much Yang Gong was different from Zhang Hua in terms of doing things.

If the difference is too big, then I will have to let Zhang Hua come back!

This is the first time Chen Qian has come to Deng Ai's mansion.

Deng Ai was very surprised by Chen Qian's arrival, but he didn't have any rude behavior, and pulled Chen Qian into the study.

"Gong Chen, Your Majesty, but you want me to go to Huainan?"

Chen Qian shook his head, "The general is not proficient enough in the affairs of Huainan, General Biqiu is over there, enough to deal with the affairs over there, if the general is temporarily replaced, I am afraid that it will cause more trouble." ”

Deng Ai pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously, "What you said makes sense, now that the situation is urgent, it may be too late to replace me temporarily, and the general of the chariot cavalry is enough." ”

He looked at Chen Qian again, "Then what did Your Majesty ask you to come for?" ”

This person really doesn't know how to behave in the world, and when he opens his mouth, he asks questions.

Chen Qian said calmly: "I want you to be a deputy by my side and offer advice for pacifying everything." ”

Hearing this, Deng Ai was silent for a moment, and then began to look at Chen Qian in front of him, with a faint feeling of scrutiny in his eyes.

He looked like this, as if he was saying: What kind of thing is you, and you deserve my help?

Chen Qian had thought of such a situation a long time ago, and he was not angry.

If Deng Ai is unwilling to come, it is the best.

It's best if you don't interact with each other for the rest of your life.

At this time, Deng Ai suddenly spoke: "Gong Chen, because I had the merit of destroying the country, I actually bred arrogant thoughts and made a big mistake. ”

"Please bear with me in the future."

Obviously, Deng Ai said good things, but Chen Qian still felt very harsh.

He would rather hear Deng Ai taunt him and then kick himself out.

Chen Qian continued: "The Lang officials on my side are all young students, as long as General Deng can get used to it. ”

Deng Ai nodded, "It's very good to do things neatly in the next life." ”

Chen Qian only found it boring.

In fact, Deng Ai has not changed without any changes, since he was pardoned by the emperor, he is no longer so horizontal, although he is still outspoken, but he has learned to speak when necessary.

Chen Qian immediately instructed the specific situation of the work, what time to go to work, the location of work, the subordinates arranged for him, and so on.

Deng Ai listened very carefully, and then sent Chen Qian out of the door respectfully.

In the evening, when Deng Zhong came back to visit his father in the mansion, Deng Ai told him about it.

"Tomorrow, I will go to Shangshutai with you."

"I'll be in Shangshutai from now on."

"Ah???h

Hearing this, Deng Zhong's eyes widened.

"Father, how could you say yes?"

Deng Ai motioned for his son to sit in front of him, and his already wrinkled face was even more wrinkled at this moment.

"The same strategy, different people say it, different people want to do it, and the emperor's attitude is different."

"I have a lot of ideas, but if I can't get His Majesty's favor, I can't carry them out."

Deng Zhong hesitated for a moment, although it was not wrong to say so, but he always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this sentence.

He had no choice but to say: "Father, Your Majesty is very fond of you, otherwise, it would not be such a simple disposal"

"I, I know."

"Your Majesty likes my talents, but sitting here, my talents are not being used, so I have to go wherever I want."

Deng Zhong let out a long sigh.

Hearing that his father was going to be an official again, Deng Zhong not only did not feel happy, but began to worry.

It's hard for me to be an official again, don't let me lose it again.

Deng Ai said solemnly at this moment: "Loyalty, in the future, you have to work harder, do things, don't be arrogant because you have some achievements, and no, you can't despise others."

Deng Zhong took the teachings very seriously, even though his father could not do this.

The next day, father and son left the mansion together and started their careers again.

Deng Ai was the oldest and most famous in the military department, and when he sat here, the younger generations were all trembling, and Deng Ai asked about the recent errands one by one.

He didn't speak very neatly, but he still asked about the things that the military department was going to do recently.

Then, without waiting for Chen Qian's orders, he began to think of countermeasures.
