The ministers are busy with the sacrificial affairs, and it is not surprising that this will be the largest sacrificial ceremony since Cao Chao ascended the throne.

The ministers paid special attention to this, and various localities also strengthened their vigilance to prevent any problems during this period.

At this time, if there is a case of a bad nature in Luoyang, then from Luoyang Ling to Si Li's lieutenant, the career will basically be in place in one step.

The officials in Luoyang were very cautious, and the only one who completely let go of his hands and feet was Hu Zun.

During these days, Hu Zun set up banquets all day long, gathered ministers, ate and drank and had fun, and did not do serious things.

His life was quite chic, and the ministers did not dare to slack off on the general, and the general gave the order, and they went to his palace to eat, drink and be merry with him.

When the general was drunk again, Hu Guang finally couldn't help it.

He asked all the servants in the house to leave, and then saluted Hu Zun and said:

"Father, Your Majesty has just worshipped you as a general, and you have not been in office for a few days, so you have gathered your ministers to have fun in the palace, and you don't do anything serious, you get drunk all day long, how can this work? This is the way to get rid of evil! ”

Hu Zun glared at him, "Did I only gather my own subordinates?" Did I say anything to the courtiers against Your Majesty? Why do you take trouble for yourself? ”

"Father, the general is the head of the ministers, and he should set an example for the ministers"

"The old man is so old, how can he still be an example, and he has to go to Shangshutai every day to watch them do things?"

"Since the world is unified, then the next thing should be handed over to people like you, the old man has already done what he should do, can't he hold a banquet to celebrate?"

Hu Guang was suddenly unable to refute.

When Yang Zong informed Cao Chao of this, Cao Chao couldn't help laughing.

He didn't care about Hu Zun's behavior.

The banquet was set up with his own money, and the gathering of ministers did not delay the work of others, he was originally a meritorious minister, so how about indulging in Luoyang?

It's not a big deal.

Yang Zong said: "I think this Hu Zun is deliberately defiling himself, so that His Majesty will not be afraid of him, after this Sima Shi, the position of the general has become sensitive, although Hu Zun has the intention to get this position, but he is only a little afraid in his heart." ”

"He has given orders to his sons, that they should be strict with their heirs and cronies, that they should not cause trouble to him, and that they should send men to settle down, and warn their people to observe etiquette and not to break the law, and if they are known to him, they will surely destroy their relatives in righteousness and will not forgive."

Cao Chao shook his head, "It's not necessarily self-defilement, but after completing the great cause, I want to enjoy my old age, so I don't have to care." ”

Cao Chao asked again: "What about the ministers of Wu State?" ”

It turned out that after Sun Hao came to Luoyang, the army returned to Luoyang one after another, and this time it brought the rest of the people, many ministers of Wu, and the Sun family's clan, etc.

After these people arrived in Luoyang, they were also temporarily placed under house arrest.

Yang Zong replied: "The ministers have already gone to meet with them, and those important ministers don't seem to have any intention of resisting, and they are all willing to serve Your Majesty, but these people must not be released back to the Wu State." ”

"They are different from the Shu people, although there are many big clans in Shu, but they don't dare to benefit their clans on the surface, but these people have colluded with each other to benefit each other for a long time, if Your Majesty releases them back to Wu, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to Chen Tai and others."

"Your Majesty can leave those important ministers and let them stay in the temple to appease the hearts of the Wu people, and also let the Wu people have a tongue in the temple."

"The rest of the people, the ministers thought that they could be sent to various parts of the Central Plains to appoint officials according to their original titles and talents."

Cao Chao quietly took out a notebook, which was handed over to him by Lu Kai, which recorded the situation of many ministers in Wu.

Lu Kai and Lu Kang are the two most outstanding people in Jiangdong.

Lu Kai saw what was going to happen very early, and at the same time, he also knew that the Wei State would definitely make a move against the Jiangdong clan, and his early defection directly allowed his clan to be preserved.

And now this document was also prepared by Lu Kai for Cao Chao very early, and it was used to understand many ministers in Jiangdong.

With this thing in hand, Cao Chao also knew at a glance the situation of Wu's subordination.

Yang Zong stood aside and didn't speak, but Cao Chao looked at it seriously.

Cao Chao has read this document countless times.

It's almost all turned over.

As for the situation of the ministers of Wu State, Cao Chao also has a bottom in his heart.

Wu Guo's situation in terms of talent is very strange.

They have a lot of old ministers and many excellent young people, but there are very few fierce generals and capable ministers in the age group of thirty-five to sixty years old.

Unlike the Wei State, they have a situation of disconnection, in fact, this is understandable.

The main reason is that there were too many internal battles in the state of Wu, and the people of that generation were unlucky and got involved in too many battles, and in the process of fighting for the power and ministers, there were too many casualties.

And the arrangement of these people, Cao Chao also knows in his heart, and the older ones will be raised by an honorary official.

Occasionally, a few that can still be used will be put in the three stations as deputies.

As for the younger ones, they can be put on the ground to sharpen.

Cao Chao said with a smile: "The ministers of the DPRK and China are anxious to deal with these people, perhaps because they are afraid that their promotion will affect their own interests, or maybe they are just disgusted with these southerners in their mouths. ”

"Just here I have received more than 20 copies of the notes about the safe handling of the Wu State's subordinates and the notification that these people are different from the Shu people."

"These sages under my command are too impatient to learn steadily, the more they are so eager to exclude and suppress these Wu people, the more I want to promote them."

Just when Cao Chao was talking to Yang Zonggao, Cheng Ji walked in in a hurry again.

"Your Majesty!! Zhang Jun is back! ”

Cao Chao stood up suddenly, "Mao is back first?" ”

"Exactly."

"Maoxian!"

Cao Chao shouted, turned around and ran out, looking at the emperor who disappeared as soon as he slipped away, Yang Zong sighed, and then shook his head.

Fang just said that the ministers are not stable enough!

Cao Chao hurried to the outside of the Taiji Hall, where Zhang Hua was standing waiting for him.

"Maoxian!"

Cao Chao shouted again, Zhang Hua hurriedly looked over, and when he saw Cao Chao walking quickly, Zhang Hua was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Zhang Hua greets Your Majesty!!"

"Get up! Get up! ”

Cao Chao hurriedly helped this confidant to his beloved, and then looked at it.

Zhang Hua looked a lot rougher than before, when he was still in Luoyang, he was a little offspring with fine skin and tender meat, and he didn't even have a beard, and he didn't know that he thought it was a little eunuch next to Cao Chao.

But after staying in Shu for such a period of time, his whole person has changed greatly.

The complexion has become dark, the beard has grown, the eyes are bright, and the temperament has become much calmer.

Cao Chao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I made you suffer!" ”

Zhang Hua was also looking at His Majesty in front of him, and His Majesty looked more martial than in the past.

When the two of them met, Cao Chao grabbed Zhang Hua's hand and walked towards the West Hall.

"You're finally back, this Chen Tai and Wang Jing left together, there are vacancies in Shangshutai, and I'm worried about what to do!"

Zhang Hua asked, "Has Gong Chen gone to Wudi?" ”

"Yes, let him do it, what about you, what's the situation?"

"Deng Ai didn't cause any trouble, did he?"

Zhang Hua shook his head, "Duke Deng is nothing, it's just that the local officials are very jealous of him, and a few officials persuaded me that it might be inappropriate for Duke Deng to stay in Shu."

"This was all scared by Deng Ai at the beginning."

The two talked and chatted, and walked all the way into the west hall.

Yang Zong stood at the door, Zhang Hua hurriedly saluted to see him, Yang Zong just returned the salute, did not say anything, not very close.

The two walked into the West Hall, and Cao Chao pulled Zhang Hua to sit down next to him, and he was extremely pampered.

"Mao Xian, you have been running around all over the place, look at how dark you have become"

Yang Zong watched the two of them chatting like this, so he had to clear his throat, "Your Majesty, go and wait outside." ”

The two chatted for a long time, and Zhang Hua took the initiative to talk about the fall of the Wu Kingdom.

"The minister was in Hanzhong, and when he learned of the destruction of the Wu State, he couldn't sleep at night, and summoned the officials to inform him of the situation, and the officials in Shu were very surprised, and their attitudes became more and more respectful, while the officials who went from the Central Plains became more arrogant."

Speaking of this, Zhang Hua couldn't help but talk about the problem of discrimination between places.

Because of years of conquest, the hatred between Wei Shu and Wu spread to their people.

And in the end, it was embodied in the officials, and the officials of the old Wei State who came from the Central Plains were quite contemptuous of the new local officials.

After all, it is a veteran Zhengcao Qi, and in the face of these people, they are all with the attitude of conquerors, which leads to Zhang Hua always cleaning up these guys who deliberately provoked trouble in the early stage.

As a result, they were pressing, and the Shu people here began to jump up and make trouble again.

Zhang Hua is now worried that Wu Guo will also have such a situation.

"Now that the war is almost over, we can appropriately disarm and reduce military spending, and then we can gradually reduce all kinds of taxes in various places."

Cao Chao said calmly: "As long as the people of these two places can live better than before, the estrangement between each other will slowly disappear Originally, everyone was the people of the Later Han Dynasty, but they were coerced by thieves, and they never returned to obedience after the Great Wei succeeded the orthodoxy of the Later Han." ”

"I can even educate Qianghu, are you still worried that the people in these two places will not return to their hearts?"

"The officials sent to these places need to think carefully, there must be no corrupt officials and traitors, in addition, the Ministry of Industry also has to worry a lot, those advanced machines and technologies, also have to be promoted in the south as soon as possible, I have heard that many technologies in the south are still relatively backward, far inferior to the north."

"Less taxes, wise governance, and teaching technology, these three add up, and within ten years, the people in these areas will be settled!"

"I also want to set up drums in various places, and allow Shu and Wu people to directly report to me when they encounter grievances and unfair treatment!"

"Emperor Yao's drum wood, the world returns to the heart"
