When Cao Chao heard the news, the whole person was like a lightning strike.

He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Mrs. Zheng is pregnant.

Isn't that a father about to be?

Looking at the sluggish Cao Chao, Xu's husband hurriedly took out the booklet and handed it to the emperor.

The eunuchs of the harem are responsible for recording the time and number of times the emperor and many concubines have intercourse, etc., in short, what should be recorded should be recorded, and what should not be recorded should also be recorded.

This is to ensure that the child must be biological and that the royal blood will not be defiled.

At the same time, if the emperor was too frequent in this regard, the eunuchs should have been discouraged.

Cao Chao suddenly lost his mind at this moment and was at a loss.

Husband Xu didn't know what to say, this is a good thing.

If there are no children, then they have to quickly succeed one, if there are no children and grandchildren, it means that the power system will change after his death, and the interest groups that follow him will suffer a great impact.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven must have a queen, and this matter is more important than anything else.

Xu's husband thought that the emperor would be very happy, and even give a reward or something, but Cao Chao was stunned and motionless.

He had never seen the emperor look so dazed.

In his impression, this emperor has always been powerful, thoughtful, and always calm but wise.

Cao Chao probably also realized that he was out of shape.

"Well, this is a good thing, everyone in the harem has a reward, send something to Mrs. Zheng, let her replenish her body."

"Yui!!"

Xu's husband visited again.

When everyone left, Cao Chao sat alone in the west hall, still feeling a little trance.

It's an inexplicable taste.

He is a man in two lives, but Cao Chao is always lonely, he always looks at the world coldly, and then tries to intervene in the change.

But at this moment, the line between the two seems to be blurred.

What was I thinking?

Cao Chao shook his head, suppressed some unspeakable expectation and excitement in his heart, and recalled his major events again.

Oh, by the way, I'm thinking about Yanghu and the Yongliang clan.

Yanghu still has to wait for his letter, but these big tribes, they are all donkeys, and they will never leave if they don't draw them.

From Xun Yi's conversation, Cao Chao could feel their contempt for himself, and he didn't know whether to call them stupid or evil!

In short, no matter what kind of policy, they can find the loopholes that best serve their own interests.

Cao Chao distributed public land to the Hu people, originally to speed up the integration, who would have thought that someone would use this to get public land for themselves.

Every time he thinks of these things, Cao Chao's teeth itch with anger.

Now, Yang Zong has set off for Yongzhou, and when the big clan over there has a memory and suffers a loss, the big clan here should know what to do.

However, it is necessary to cooperate well with Yang Zong, and both sides bloom at the same time to achieve the best effect.

Yang Zong's side Cao Chao was not very worried, there was Ma Long in charge there, and I heard that Ma Long had inherited Deng Ai's legion very well and had already controlled his army.

I wonder if my first child can inherit his own career?

forehead

Cao Chao shook his head, why did he digress again.

He put down the pen and ink in his hand and stood up, "Come on, prepare the car!" ”

Now it is Cheng Ji who is driving for Cao Chao, although this guy has not been promoted in his official position, he is still a lieutenant lieutenant in the palace, but his title is still rising.

Moreover, although his official position is not high, it has a different meaning.

Although he is only a school captain, even if the four expeditions and four towns meet him, they have to bow with him.

Si'an Siping also had to avoid it when it was encountered.

The rest of the lieutenants of the Chinese army did not dare to speak loudly in front of him.

Cheng Ji is quite enjoying the current treatment, he is responsible for protecting the emperor on weekdays, and the emperor is not ambiguous where to fight.

He drove the car and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my brother has made a great contribution this time." ”

His elder brother Cheng Yan was sent to Wenqin's side because of his merits in destroying Shu, but he happened to encounter the battle of Wu again, which was also lucky, only under General Hu!

I heard that he was the first general to tear through the defense line of the Wu people, and he was also the first fierce general to set foot in Jiaozhou.

Cheng Ji talked about his brother's achievements, and his words were full of pride.

Cao Chao said seriously: "I don't know how old General Cheng is this year?" ”

"My brother is in his forties"

Cao Chao asked again: "Then how old is Chengjun this year?" ”

"The minister is thirty-six years old."

Cao Chao said: "General Cheng is in his forties, and he has not forgotten to forge ahead, at the beginning he was just a cavalry general, less strategic, and then exercised in the Chinese army, and went to various places to fight, read more about the art of war, and now he can command an army alone to fight, and he will definitely be able to sit on one side in the future." ”

"Chengjun is ten years younger than him, but he already has no enterprising ideas?"

Cheng Ji hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't have the talent of his brother."

"What kind of people are born with talents? People who are fighting abroad can still study hard at night, Chengjun doesn't have much to do every day, and the rest of the time, he just lives at home, how can this work? ”

"It's not good for ministers to read."

"I don't want Cheng Jun to study to become a doctor, I just want to tell you that if you want to have great achievements, you can't waste time, if you don't like to study, you can also hone your martial arts more, Cheng Jun is in the year of fighting, don't waste time!"

Cheng Ji lowered his head at this time, "The minister is taught!" ”

Cao Chao really wants to train all these people under his command.

After conquering Shu, Wei had three more states, and Cao Chao also wanted to set up another state in Liaodong, Korea and other places to reduce the pressure on Youzhou, Jiaozhou has just been recovered here, and Jiangdong will be in the future

But Cao Chao couldn't even make up these thorn histories.

If you are too obedient to the county order, you can only look at the face of the big family.

Even if Cao Chao conducted a imperial examination in Shu and let Zhang Hua be responsible for the whole process and recruit talents, the number of people was far from enough.

The imperial examination can only recruit some low-level talents, and you can't directly recruit an assassin Shi Taishou in the imperial examination, right?

As for the vassals of Shu, the same is true, they are not even as good as these people under Cao Chao, even if they can compare, they can't come up and let the surrendered people be assassins.

In addition to the officials in these places, the generals of the army are far from enough, at first glance, Cao Chao's command seems to be a heavenly group, but the Chinese army seriously lacks famous generals.

It is not enough to gather four levies and four towns in the local area.

Unless Cao Chao chooses a random one in the family with his conscience, but Cao Chao is not just to make up the number of people, especially in the position of commander, how can he not think about it?

A battle to destroy the country gave Cao Chao a lot of excellent generals, such as Cheng Qian is an example, he could only serve as a cavalry general.

After these two battles, he can barely be a Si'an Siping and a four-peace party, and he can defend one side alone.

But there are still not enough senior talents.

There are many people in the family who are idle, but their moral level makes Cao Chao dare not reuse them.

Cao Chao dared to use Cheng Ji who dared to kill the monarch, but he didn't dare to use the people who were dignified and said with a smile on his face that he wanted to share the pressure for the emperor.

Sending them to the ground will cause many times more harm than their exploits.

Cao Chao's carriage finally stopped.

Cheng Ji helped Cao Chao get out of the car, raised his head, and Du Zheng led the family to salute in the distance to greet him.

This is Du Pre's mansion.

The emperor's car was probably the only car in Luoyang that could drive into anyone's house without having to park at the door.

"Yuan Kai, get up!"

Cao Chao waved his hand, and Du Yu hurriedly walked to Cao Chao's side.

Cao Chao noticed that Du Pre's clothes were not very clean, "Just came back from Ma Gong's side?" ”

Du Yu nodded, "Pugong has a stunt, when he forges the knife, he smears it with clay and then quenches it, and the treasure knife he makes is extremely hard and sharp."

The two talked and walked into the study.

Cao Chao sat on the top seat, "How is the situation in Jingnan and Jiaozhou?" ”

In this great war with Wu, the Great Wei recovered a large amount of land, but unfortunately, because of the stubborn resistance of the land resistance, the subjugation of the Wei State was not a complete recovery, and the forces of the two sides were intertwined in Jingnan Jiaozhou and other places.

Lu Kang moved the people and materials in the plains early, and although the Wei State got these cities, the manpower and material resources were very small.

The map of the two sides in Jingnan is quite distorted, focusing on a you have me, I have you.

It also has to do with the local topography.

After subduing these areas, Wang Ji decided to farm here.

This farming is not about farming in the physical sense, but about restoring the local infrastructure.

Because of the war, the local houses, cities, roads and other infrastructure were seriously damaged, and Lu Kang took great pains to deal with the Wei State, and many of the infrastructure were destroyed by himself, anyway, he just didn't let you live comfortably in the Wei State!

Wang Ji is also powerless in this regard, if there is no assistance from the temple, he will not be able to repair it by his own strength.

Du Yu pondered for a moment before replying: "Your Majesty, I have read all the corresponding contents, and everyone in the Ministry of Industry has different opinions on this. ”

"The main reason is that some of these places are too remote, and the ministers think that there are also many places that need to be built in the Central Plains, and they should not be wasted here, it is better to directly turn them into military cantonments."

Cao Chao was still not in a hurry to express his opinion, he said with a smile: "What he said also makes sense." ”

"Rebuilding these places is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the results are not great, the same manpower and material resources used in the Central Plains can have a greater effect, so what does Yuan Kai think?"

"I think it should be built, and it should be built with all its might at any cost."

Cao Chao was stunned, "Why?" ”

"Crusade against the state of Wu, attack the heart first."

"Although this place is dilapidated and remote, it is a place directly bordering the Wu State, and the reconstruction of this place is of great significance, and the benefits are completely different from the construction of the Central Plains."

"The strategy of attacking the heart is not only to attack the hearts of the ministers of the great clan, but also to attack the hearts of the people!"
