On the way to the palace, the palace was still very empty at this time, but a large mansion with a center of gravity was quickly transformed into a main hall where daily court meetings were held.

In the car, Zhang Han and Cao Cao shared a car, which was convenient to discuss the trip.

"Ziyu bought half of it at that time, which can be described as far-sighted, and he calculated today's scene early, which can give the full court of ministers a headache, which is really wonderful."

Zhang Han finished talking about the before and after process, and he admired Cao Ang very much.

Cao Cao listened with a smile, and then asked, "Actually, I wanted to ask you a long time ago, how can you be sure that you must be in Xu?" ”

"Or, you and Feng Xiao have already had some discussions, so you secretly made a statement to promote the decision to make a promise, but this is very unrealistic, can you often know in advance the period when the Son of Heaven will return to the east? Or, Feng Xiao's strategy to force Yang Feng in Luyang that day was paving the way for today? Isn't it just some mansion money, how many of you are there? ”

Cao Cao really didn't take these into his eyes, he valued food and people more, and now he still has his own name of benevolence and righteousness, and his authority to the outside world, because this principle was what Xun Yu and Cao Cao made sense at the beginning.

At the beginning, Cao Cao implemented the internal precepts, first, he was poor, so he did not want to be extravagant; The second is to go up and down, so as to control the Cao clan, so that they do not dare to plunder and collect wealth at will, arrogant and lascivious, this section is still forced by Zhang Han, he advocated benevolence and righteousness in his early years, and treated the people with generosity, which became a trend.

Later, Xun Yu came to talk to Cao Cao about this matter and praised this move.

He said that those who are masters can set up money and grain to pass through to the people, and they do not need this thing, and if Cao Cao can become the prime minister in the future, then money is not a thing to accumulate savings, but a currency used to govern the country.

He wants, can get a lot.

For example, Dong Zhuo, who minted small coins and obtained hundreds of millions of dollars, but hollowed out the effectiveness of the five-baht coin, resulting in no longer being able to buy anything, and what could really be traded became gold, silver, cloth and silk, etc., as if returning to the era of bartering.

Therefore, gold and silver, Cao Cao can actually be said to have no shortage at all, because he wants it, and he can get it at any time, this is power.

If it is the lord of a country, it is even more so, the money in the eyes of His Majesty should be taken as the "country", collected from the people, and used by the people.

Between one in and one out, you can survive for a year.

Naturally, he couldn't care about how much money he had stored in his palace, because he never lacked it.

Therefore, Cao Cao later knew the reason, although Xun Yu said the principle of governing the state at that time.

But Cao Cao could think of something more far-reaching.

Zhang Han listened to Cao Cao's tone at the moment, and also understood that he had always been insightful, so he said very honestly: "That's it, take a gamble...... Anyway, the Son of Heaven is coming, and these things will be expensive in the future, and the closer the capital is, the more benefits will be, anyway, they are all within Yingchuan. ”

"Yanzhou is naturally impossible, Dongjun is not good at guarding the Yellow River, and Yanzhou is often affected by the flooding of the Yellow River, only this place is the best, there are barriers on all sides, and you can also use the eight passes of Ruoyang to garrison the border."

"I think that this person can't only do things that he is completely sure of, even if there are only two possibilities and three points, he should hit the water in the middle and swim against the current."

"There are no real 100% sure things in the world, and there are variables after all, but because of the constant variables, difficulties and obstacles, success is valuable."

Zhang Han's face was solemn, his hands folded in front of him, and he knelt opposite Cao Cao, discussing this with a faint light in the narrow space of this carriage.

He paused, looked at Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "Now, Yuan Shao has defeated Gongsun Zhan, and built Yijing to trap and defend it, and it will only be a long time before he perishes. ”

"As soon as Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zhan, he can get Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou where his son Yuan Tan is located, plus the fame of their Yuan family, they can have millions of soldiers and countless armors within a few years."

"In this way, it is far more than our people in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and we, and Yuan Shao will have a battle sooner or later, this battle will determine who can dominate the north of the Yellow River, when the time comes, I don't know how many people will be afraid, will retreat, and will be cowardly."

Zhang Han's painting style changed, and he actually talked about this, which made Cao Cao's whole body feel refreshed, and he also sat up straight, "Yes, although the victory or defeat is unknown, no one is optimistic about us." ”

Gongsun Zhan's fame is too great, he has a reputation for ten years on the border, and he still lost to Yuan Shao in the fierce battle, which shows the future situation.

However, such a distant thing has something to do with this kid's current matter?

Cao Cao's blood cooled down slightly, and he noticed that something was wrong, and looked at Zhang Han quietly.

"In the next move, I want to inform Zhu Wenwu that where there is a will, there is a way! There is no need to be timid before fighting, if there is an opportunity for everything, you can plan and fight until you have no regrets-"

"It's okay, it's okay......" Cao Cao couldn't listen to it anymore, the truth is such a truth, but it is inspiring enough to speak.

But when he said it at this time, Cao Cao was simply full of disgust, and Uncle Zhang often insulted Confucianism and humiliation every day.

What kind of strategy or plan was used by him in these places, Cao Cao always felt that the art of war he respected had been wasted.

"You're not sure, so take a gamble, right?" Cao Cao reluctantly accepted this statement, and this was also in line with Zhang Han's usual style.

It was Cao Cao who didn't ask any further.

After a short time, the carriage arrived at the palace, and the two got out of the carriage and walked through the corridor, to the spacious school field, and headed towards the palace full of guards.

After a while, someone from the palace immediately came to greet him and welcomed Cao Cao and Zhang Han into the palace.

"Your Majesty knows we're coming?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Xiao Huangmen smiled and bowed in response, "Back to Sikong, as early as when Sikong entered the door, someone went to inform His Majesty to come to the main hall." ”

"Now Shang Shuling is waiting in front of the palace and will meet Sikong together."

"Hehehe," Cao Cao waved his hand, "You don't need to call me Sikong, this position is beyond my ability, so I can't do it." ”

"Cao Gong didn't come here to thank you?" Xiao Huangmen's face was very surprised, he didn't seem to have seen such a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and he didn't even want the Son of Heaven to be an official.

"No, is Your Majesty waiting for me to thank you? Hey, hey, hey......" Cao Cao laughed softly, this yellow door couldn't change his meaning, and led Cao Cao to the main hall along the steps, and after the two took off their shoes, they entered the main hall and bowed to the Son of Heaven.

Zhang Han actually liked this very much, the Han Dynasty was not as polite as the later dynasties, and he had to kneel and bow to the Son of Heaven in person.

In the Han Dynasty, bowing was already very large, unless it was on a really important occasion, such as sacrificing to the heavens and sealing Zen, receiving the seal, etc., there was no special requirement.

Liu Xie sat in his position, looked at Cao Cao with a smile on his face, then looked at Zhang Han, and nodded in greeting.

"The two Aiqing came to see each other late at night, what happened?"

Cao Cao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister got the news that the former Taifu Ma Riyan, Zhao Wen in the servant, and the envoy Jin Shang were all detained by Yuan Shu to Huainan, and robbed its charms, recruited troops and horses in the name of His Majesty, expanded the territory, attacked Guangling, Quyang, Lujiang and other places, and intended to occupy Jiangdong and stand on his own. ”

"Oh, this ......" Liu Xie was shocked, his expression was a little flustered and cramped, and he couldn't see the rest of the ministers left and right, so he didn't know how to answer.

In the past, someone mentioned it on the side, but this time Cao Cao came in a hurry, and he entered the palace late at night to report, and he couldn't tell what Cao Cao meant.

"Then, according to Aiqing's intentions, what should it be?"

"It's not what the minister wants," Cao Cao arched his hand again, and a slightly hoarse and deep voice echoed in the hall: "It was Your Majesty who heard about this and felt that what should be done, and the minister obeyed Your Majesty's orders." ”

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and slowly sat up straight, his eyes almost trembling.

He, he asked my opinion and followed my commands......

Ancestors, but I finally met the capable and loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.

How did those traitors ask my opinion in the past? Even among the ministers, they deceive me when I am young, and often neglect me, even if I want to make a decision, if I do not fulfill my wishes, they will continue to speak.

Trying to change my fate, sometimes I really don't know how to face it, but today, this Cao Qing actually respects me so much, and the heavens have mercy on me, and he has such a capable minister for my royal family!

God bless the man......

Liu Xie's mind fluctuated and he had mixed feelings, but it was still difficult to take this step, so he asked slowly: "Cao Qing's family, I am still young, I am afraid that I can't be perfect." ”

"Your Majesty, please do not hesitate to instruct me, and the ministers will listen carefully, and after thinking about it in every possible way, they will make corrections. Besides, how could Your Majesty be wrong? Cao Cao said directly.

Comfortable......

Liu Xie only felt that Cao Cao's words were really comfortable.

"I think that Huainan Yuan is the concubine of the Yuan family, and his family is deeply favored by the emperor, so he should not usurp the Han Dynasty and stand on his own, which is related to the family's reputation for a hundred years, how dare he be like ......this," Liu Xie said his opinion slightly with hindrance.

Among the three princes who were auxiliary to the government back then, Yuan Kui of the Yuan family was his teacher when he was young.

He was quite stylish, never bowed to Dong Zhuo, and repeatedly argued in the court, and later because Yuan Shao raised troops outside, Dong Zhuo killed the whole family.

But the kindness, Liu Xie still remembered it in his heart, he felt that although Cao Cao said that there was a military report at this moment, it may only be a superficial investigation, and he didn't know the reason.

What if Yuan Shu had to do this as a last resort in order to protect the territory and the people?

"Well, Your Majesty is kind-hearted, which is gratifying, and the minister knows."

Cao Cao bowed his hand and said no more.

Liu Xie was a little afraid, he saw that Cao Cao's face was not very good, he was used to observing words and expressions in Chang'an, and now he was nervous again.

asked uncertainly: "Cao Aiqing, do you think that I am soft-hearted and do not distinguish between loyalty and treachery?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister only feels that His Majesty is benevolent, and everything he thinks is the side of benevolence, which is a good thing, and if he is benevolent for the king, he can be virtuous and scattered in the sea, so that the people can support and follow, so as to show the king's capital."

"Then, what does Cao Aiqing think about this matter, if it is a Ming Jun, how will she deal with it?"

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Well, the minister thinks that a Ming monarch will not deal with it rashly, but he will also picket the original situation, and he should send an edict to Yangzhou Yuan Shu, ordering him to send the Taifu and the servant to return to Xu Du to restore his life." ”

"If he refuses, there will be demons; If he had sent them back, he would have asked them directly. ”

"If they are wronged by Wei in Yangzhou, they will definitely not be threatened by Yuan Shu and come back to make their crimes public."

"Okay......" Liu Xie nodded, this is indeed the truth, Cao Aiqing handled things properly and planned wisely.

And he is willing to teach me, and his words are full of careful teaching and patient guidance, and I really shouldn't treat him slowly before I treat him......

"Then according to Aiqing's opinion, I ordered Shang Shutai to draw up a decree, summon Ma Taifu and Zhao Shizhong back, praise their years of hard work, and don't pursue Yuan Shu's rules first, and see how he responds."

"Your Majesty." Cao Cao smiled and was about to retire, but when he looked at Zhang Han, he suddenly slapped his head and said, "Oh, I almost forgot about this person." ”

"This person, Zhang Bochang, was originally the master of my account, and he was used to being used to disrespecting military discipline because of the excessive favor of his ministers, but now after being appointed by His Majesty as the captain of the Tun Cavalry, he did not go to the garrison of the imperial city and drank in the courtyard."

"Alas, I brought him to ask Your Majesty for his guilt."

Liu Xie blinked his eyes and looked at Zhang Han, and found that his face was indeed slightly red, and his eyes were like water waves, which was indeed the face of drinking.

So he immediately became strange, and asked with concern: "Zhang Aiqing, is this because the official position given by me is too small?" ”

Still, I don't want to do the things of the garrison, and I want to be more relaxed...... But he also sealed the Qingting Marquis, and he should be grateful to Dai De.

Zhang Han's face was not good, he hung his head a little crying, bowed his hand when he heard the words, and sighed: "It's not that the minister left his post without permission and didn't respect discipline, but the general of the auxiliary country had warned that we were not allowed to approach in the imperial city. ”

"I have said this!" Liu Xie's brows suddenly frowned, "Aiqing, you only have to guard the Imperial City, I received the grace of saving my life that day, and since I have already paid homage to the official, how can I be so defensive against you?" ”

I wish you and Dian Wei were in the palace...... For this reason, Liu Xie also deliberately named the black-robed armored cavalry under Zhang Han as one of the 700 places received by the captain of the tun cavalry.

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Han looked at the two of them left and right in embarrassment, and finally his face suddenly became firm, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty should dismiss my official position, it is my duty to act on the next day, and it is not a life-saving feeling to act according to orders." ”

"Aiqing," Liu Xie was a little angry, "What are you talking about?" ”

Zhang Han secretly pinched a small piece of meat from his tiger's mouth with his strength when he gave it up, and the pain went straight to his brain.

With some sad and aggrieved things, I forcibly remembered it one by one, my nose suddenly became sore, and I struggled to close my eyes and squeeze it, and a few tears came out.

He choked up and said resentfully: "Your Majesty, I have been taught by my parents since I was a child, and I am mainly upright, decent, loyal, and filial.

Yu was a keen learner when he was young. The family is poor, and there is no way to read the book, so every time he borrows it in the house of the book collection, he writes it down by hand, and counts it back every day.

The sky is cold, the case is icy, the fingers cannot be bent and stretched, and the Buddha is sluggish. After the recording, I sent it away, and I didn't dare to exceed the appointment. Because there are many people who leave books, they have to read all the books.

It is crowned and admires the way of the sages. and suffering from no master and celebrity and travel, taste a hundred miles away, from the township of the first to reach the scriptures and ask, the first to reach Delong Wangzun, its door ......"

Zhang Han spoke eloquently, with a slight helplessness in his tone of grief and indignation, which gradually made Liu Xie listen very attentively.

Not to mention Liu Xie, Cao Cao looked stunned beside him, his eyes widened, but he didn't dare to show it too much.

Is this special lady really talking about you? Eager to learn when you were young? You've been bloodthirsty since you were a child, I believe!

I also copied books since I was a child, and your calligraphy is just the cloth and paper used for copying, which is enough for ordinary households to go bankrupt.

Can you still have these experiences?!

But Zhang Han said it reasonably, sincerely, and the structure of his words was clear, and he had never experienced it in advance, and it was absolutely impossible to say such abundant emotions on the spot, as well as these scenes that fit the poor and white.

Cao Cao didn't think that this was prepared by Zhang Han in advance, first of all, he didn't know that he was going to enter the palace, secondly, this was not a poem, and in the end, no one would be bored enough to write these things on weekdays to prepare.

But as soon as this idea arose, Cao Cao suddenly felt that Zhang Han seemed to be such a boring person......

It can't really be prepared in advance, right?
