Luoyang.

There are only two people in the Taiji Palace, Cao Chao and Wang Yuan.

In the past, when Wang Yuan and Liu Lu came to pay their respects, Cao Chao had Zhang Hua by his side to listen, but now, there is only Wang Yuan.

It can also be seen that the same emperor's close ministers are still treated differently.

Because Liu Lu was outside, Wang Yuan was in charge of the affairs in Luoyang.

With the help of Gong Zheng, the control of the Pawn's Mansion in Luoyang is extremely high, and Cao Chao is well aware of the recent movements of the ministers and all kinds of conspiracies.

As the center of power of the entire empire, Luoyang is simply a whirlpool of intrigues, and there is no time to calm down.

The open and covert struggles between the ministers, the derivation of local strife, and even the opposition to oneself and the criticism of policies.

All sorts of things come out one after another.

Cao Chao attached great importance to these things at first, and he did it himself, but when he experienced more, he knew what to pay attention to and what to ignore.

At this moment, Wang Yuan talked about a recent major event in Luoyang.

Speaking of which, this matter is still related to the education that Cao Chao wants to implement.

Originally, the big clans were indifferent to indoctrination, so why did they suddenly become interested?

Because they smell meat again.

According to Wang Yuan's announcement, just this morning, more than three ministers at the Jiuqing level went to meet Wang Chang and Wang Su together.

They went to the secret talks as delegates.

And the content of their conversation was to write a book to give advice to the emperor.

What good strategies do they want to offer Cao Chao?

Of course, it is to share some of the educational pressure for the emperor.

Some officials believe that the progress of indoctrination is too slow today because the mediocrity of local officials can be directly handed over to the temples to carry out.

How?

The relocation of these Hu people into the Central Plains was properly arranged by the major clans in various places.

With this proper arrangement, Cao Chao didn't even need to listen to Wang Yuan to know where they wanted to arrange.

The men arranged for their houses and ploughs to become their tenants and servants.

The women arranged in the inner courtyard and the outer chamber to become their concubines or belongings.

Then the old one is pulled out and disappears.

Cao Chao could hear their abacus in the Taiji Hall.

It's not easy for me to start promoting education, and these dogs can't see anything else in their eyes except their own interests?

If they do what they think, I'm afraid that there will be another domestic slave rebellion?

Besides, what do these big clans do with so many house slaves who can ride horses and shoot arrows?

As soon as Wang Yuan finished speaking, Cao Chao felt furious.

These selfish villains.

He looked at Wang Yuan, "Go and stare at these people and see who else agrees with their ideas"

Wang Yuan received the order and hurriedly left the Taiji Palace.

Cao Chao took a deep breath, calmed down, and walked out of the West Hall.

When he walked out of the West Hall, Yang Zong was standing at the door, looking around vigilantly, the cold wind hit, Yang Zong couldn't help but tremble, but he still didn't let his guard down.

Seeing his appearance, Cao Chao's heart warmed.

Although Yang Gong is not as smart as Mao Xian, he can be regarded as a capable minister who can fulfill his duties.

At the moment, it is so difficult to find someone who has a good point.

"Your Majesty."

Yang Zong found that the emperor had come out, and hurriedly turned around and saluted.

"Everyone is gone, why don't you go into the hall?"

"It's okay, the minister is still tough!"

Yang Zong said, and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty looks a little displeased?" ”

Cao Chao was very surprised, "Is it so obvious?" ”

Yang Zong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is something that I don't know if the minister should say or not." ”

"Let's come in and talk about it, it's cold outside."

When Cao Chao pulled Yang Zong in, he asked people to prepare hot tea to warm Yang Gong's body.

Yang Zong looked at the young emperor in front of him, and he said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that when Sima Shi and the others were in power, you were wronged, so you became cautious, but now, you are a little too cautious. ”

"You always have to think twice before you do something."

"Do you still remember when you were in Yuancheng, how heroic Your Majesty was?!"

"At that time, everyone in the world was afraid of Sima Shi, but His Majesty was not afraid, and he once said to me that the country is a big man, and the country is broken, and it is necessary to die and live!"

"I still remember the county order at the beginning, and you rushed directly into the county office, and you were disposed of because of you!"

Cao Chao recalled the past and said with a smile: "Yes, at that time, we also snatched a lot of strong crossbows from their mansion, and when we used them to pretend to assassinate in the future, we used the strong crossbow of the Shu family, and no one knows what the strong crossbow is going on, and the Shu family itself doesn't dare to say it."

Yang Zong said: "Your Majesty is still young, it is the most free and bold age, why is it so gloomy? So old? ”

"The minister does not want His Majesty to be presumptuous, but just wants to inform His Majesty that His Majesty is the supreme in the world today, and no one in Kyushu dares to be disrespectful to His Majesty, and no one dares to come to murder His Majesty, Your Majesty does not have to hide everything in his heart, and it will be decided later."

"Your Majesty is like this all day, your heart may not be comfortable, and the results may not meet your expectations."

"Please don't blame Your Majesty, the minister has been by your side for many years, when Guo Zhi didn't come, the minister was already by your side, seeing the current Majesty, the minister is very nostalgic for the original Majesty, Your Majesty, the heart is accessible, then everything can be done."

Yang Zong said a lot.

Cao Chao suddenly fell silent.

He picked up the tea in front of him and took a bite.

Then, he said faintly: "Yang Gong, why don't I know? ”

"I lost my mother at an early age, I didn't have a father's love, I didn't have anyone close to me, I grew up a little, I went to a strange place, I was taken care of, and I came to Luoyang, everyone wanted to murder me, there were traps and conspiracies everywhere, I didn't dare to make a mistake, I didn't dare to say a word."

"Up to now, although the national thieves have been eliminated, the world has not been unified, the foreign enemy is still rising, and the internal thieves are constantly growing."

"How dare I be as heroic as I was at the beginning?"

Cao Chao said these words in a very calm tone, even a third-person attitude.

Yang Zong let out a long sigh.

It is indeed a bit distressing to say this.

Although the person in front of him is the ninety-five supreme in the world, he is the co-master of the world.

But Yang Zong understands very well what he has experienced, from his youth to now, he has never been sheltered, everything has to rely on himself, and he has no relatives in the world, even now.

Empress Dowager Guo couldn't be his mother after all, and Mrs. Sima and Mrs. Zheng always seemed to have some distance, and Cao Qi's eyes were full of fear.

Yang Zong thought for a long time before he spoke: "Your Majesty, it's the minister's speech. ”

Cao Chao shook his head, "No, what you said is also different from the past." ”

"It's just that it's not time to relax, and there are still a lot of things waiting for me to take care of."

When Cao Chao said this, Yang Zong didn't hear any expectations from his words, all he heard was formulaic reassurance.

He was reassuring himself.

In Yang Zong's eyes, Cao Chao has become similar to Sima Shi, and has lost a lot of things as a human being, although the two are completely different, they are both the same service machine.

Sima Shi is a usurper machine, while Cao Chao is a world-ruling machine.

It was as if he was helpless in the world, he had lost his enthusiasm for everything, and all he could think about was what could not be done.

Yang Zong thought about it, but suddenly felt relieved again.

Because he knows what can change the young man in front of him, he just needs to wait quietly.

Yang Zong also cheered up, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened?" ”

Cao Chao informed Yang Zong of the content of Wang Yuan's report, of course, he did not reveal the news in the pawn's mansion, but only said the final result.

When Yang Zong heard these words, he was also as angry as Cao Chao.

"Do you even want to use such a big thing for your own benefit?!"

"Holy!"

Yang Zong suddenly remembered something, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "It's not good!" ”

"Your Majesty, if the ministers in the temple have such an idea, it means that the local clans may have already started to operate and have reaped the benefits!"

Cao Chao's pupils suddenly widened.

"You mean"

"There is a general Yang in Bingzhou, it should be the big clan in Yongliang and other places, and they took the opportunity to accept a large number of Hu family slaves and tasted the sweetness, otherwise how could there suddenly be three ministers gathered to do things? This source is not in Luoyang, it must be in Yongliang!! ”

Hearing this, Cao Chao sneered.

"Yang Gong, you hold"

Cao Chao stopped suddenly, he wanted Yang Zong to go to Yongliang for the festival, but now that the climate is so cold and Yang Zong is getting older, it is a very fatal act to rush at this moment.

Yang Zong was so smart that he immediately understood what Cao Chao meant, and he said: "If Your Majesty can trust the old minister, let the old minister go to Yongliang." ”

"The old minister is also from a big family, although he is a concubine, but the old minister is still very clear about what these people think, what they are going to do, what is there to hide, the minister is clear Your Majesty don't worry, and leave it to me to handle it."

Yang Zong's eyes revealed a faint killing intent at this moment.

Don't look at Lao Yang as a bad old man who eats and drinks, this was Cao Shuang's henchman in the past!

Although this sentence sounds like a curse, the strategy he offered at the beginning is no problem, that is, Cao Shuang did not implement it, these older generation strategists, their actions are usually ruthless and direct, not too complicated, but very deadly.

Cao Chao was a little worried, "I'm afraid that your body won't be able to bear it."

"Hahaha, why is Your Majesty so contemptuous? Lao Chen took another concubine this year, how can he say that he is old and weak? ”

Cao Chao couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, since Yang Gong said so, then let you deal with it."

"Yang Gong, it doesn't matter if anything else, as long as they don't dare to breed such thoughts again, and don't dare to use my big things for their own personal gain, since they want to fight, it will hurt at one time, and they will feel painful when they think about it."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will make them unforgettable."
