Chapter 80: Cao Ren
After watching the candidates and the hundred officials walk down, Lin Mu sat on the dragon chair again.
Now that he has given these candidates such a great honor, presumably after being sent, the local snakes everywhere should not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.
Although some of these candidates were not suitable, Lin Mu did not treat them differently.
Now that the grace of the imperial court has just begun, it is the time to make the rules, and Lin Mu does not want to break the rules he has made at this time.
After Xun You walked out of the palace, he glanced back at the palace, and the majesty of the forest just now made Xun You tremble.
A hundred officials were silent with one action, it seems that he came to the court on the right side, and this son of heaven is not as unbearable as rumored.
Originally, the most suitable Xun family to come to the court was naturally Xun Yu, but Xun Yu noticed the unstable situation and looked down on Yuan Shao after the Xun family defected to Yuan Shao in the sixth year of Zhongping, so Xun Yu defected to Cao Cao in the seventh year of Zhongping.
Now at this time, Xun Yu has been defecting to Cao Cao for two years, and at this time, Xun Yu left Cao Cao to join the court, what is the difference between this and the minister who betrays the master?
You must know that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the family door valve was good at raising customers, and the state and county governors were highly autonomous.
Therefore, although Cao Cao was nominally a subordinate of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao's subordinates were not subordinates of the Son of Heaven.
My boss's boss is not my boss, and this kind of thing has long been the norm.
If Xun Yu really went to the imperial court, even Xun Yu himself would not accept it, so this matter fell on Xun Yu's head.
"Gongda?"
Xun You turned around and found that it was Xu Shu standing in front of him.
Although Xu Shu was born in Yingchuan Hanmen, his name is widely spread.
Therefore, Xun Yu also knew Xu Shu, and not only did he know him, but his uncle Xun Yu also knew Xu Shu.
"Oh, Yuanzhi."
Xun You turned around and exchanged a salute with Xu Shu.
"Gongda doesn't know where he's going?"
Xun You smiled bitterly and said.
"Hongnong."
Xu Shu glanced at Xun Yu in surprise, Hongnong is a top family like the Yang family, and there are other big families.
If Xun You, who is from a family, is sent to this kind of place, isn't the Son of Heaven worried?
But after thinking about it, I thought about the reputation of the Son of Heaven again, and instantly understood what the Son of Heaven meant.
I'm afraid that this Hongnong Yang clan has long been stared at by many people, as long as this Xun You goes, there will only be two results.
One is to completely betray the family and suppress the local family for the Son of Heaven.
There is also a collusion with the family to rebel against the Son of Heaven, and then the Son of Heaven sent troops to conscript.
No matter what it is, Xun You is afraid that it will not be too easy.
After some small talk, the two parted.
Xu Shu originally just habitually wanted to make friends with the children of the family, but after some conversation, with the Son of Heaven's defense of these families, these children of the family are not as good as those from poor families.
When the scientific examination is over, the selected candidates are assigned to various places.
The capital also began to quiet down, but because of the forest policy, the population of the capital began to recover.
Population recovery does not have to be a multigenerational effort, it just needs to be done better than elsewhere.
In this place of continuous war, although the states and counties under the rule of Lin Mu are not in the prime of life, they are much better than other states and counties.
Therefore, people in the vicinity often fled towards Luoyang and Chang'an, and they all ran from village to village, so in just one year, the population of Beijing and Chang'an exceeded two million.
And most importantly, Lin Mu obtained a large number of war horses.
Jia Xu has returned to the capital from Xiliang, and after Xiliang was pacified by Jia Xu after several wars, there will be no more storms.
Therefore, Xiliang became the largest horse breeding ground in the imperial court, and not only that, but also the cattle and sheep of Xiliang began to flow into Yongzhou and Sizhou in large quantities.
But except for the places occupied by the imperial court, there are constant wars everywhere else.
First, 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's strength increased instantly, and now he is fighting Xuzhou.
Then it was Yuan Shao who completely pacified Youzhou and began to march towards Qingzhou.
When Lin Mu attacked Xuzhou by Cao Cao, he once received a document from Tao Qian in Xuzhou asking for help from the imperial court.
So he issued an edict to reprimand Cao Cao, although this holy decree worked, but the effect did not seem to be very great.
As soon as the decree reached Cao Cao's hands, Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Ren rebelled.
Overnight, he took away Cao Cao's 100,000 army, which was entrenched in Taishan County and constantly advanced to Xuzhou.
Cao Cao ordered that the rebels were so powerful that he couldn't manage them himself.
But this group of rebels only fought Xuzhou, and Cao Cao's troops were not guilty of any crimes.
I thought that Xuzhou should be able to support it for a while, but I didn't expect Tao Qian to die of illness in the tenth year of Zhongping (193), and Cao Ren took the opportunity to enter Xuzhou to break it.
After breaking Xuzhou, Cao Cao was grief-stricken and sent troops to avenge Tao Qian and drove Cao Ren to Xiapi.
At this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a rebellion, and this is clearly the establishment of a subsidiary.
Moreover, Cao Cao actually wrote to the court shamelessly, saying that Cao Ren's rebels were powerful, and it was better to be appeased by the officials, and he was quite suitable for Xuzhou Mu.
How could this forest be sealed to him, but fortunately, Cao Cao's father did not die in Xuzhou this time, so Cao Cao did not kill too much.
It's just that Cao Ren's subordinates are a little uncontrollable, these people were recruited by the Yellow Turban Army, and the discipline is almost equal to nothing, and now the city is naturally to loot.
For a time, the people of Xuzhou mourned all over the wilderness, and they broke their bowels when they heard it.
After the news came out, the whole world was shocked, and Cao Ren's name instantly spread all over the world.
In the palace of Luoyang.
"How dare Cao Ren do this!"
Lin Mu threw aside the paperwork in his hand, and after Bian Jin picked it up, he went down and handed it to Jia Xu, who hurriedly stepped forward to take it and looked at it, and handed it to Liu Bei with an expressionless face.
Liu Bei just glanced at it and became furious.
"Your Majesty, please go out to battle to destroy Cao Ren!"
Liu Bei originally started by playing yellow scarves, and now although he has served as Guangluqing in the imperial court, this Guangluqing is still a military position.
Now that Cao Ren has harmed the people and the Son of Heaven is furious, this is the time for him to make meritorious contributions.
Lin Mu looked at Liu Bei standing in front of him bent over, with righteous words on his face.
Lin Mu naturally would not doubt Liu Bei's talent, but he also had to distinguish who he was with.
Although Liu Bei himself can be regarded as a military general, if he is compared with Cao Cao, it is too much worse.
Liu Bei basically never won the conflict with Cao Cao in the early stage.
If Liu Bei is sent, will it become an experience for Cao Cao, Lin Mu himself doesn't know.
"Nope! I want to personally conquer this traitor who has harmed the people! ”
Lin Mu tossed the paperwork in his hand aside, then stood up.
How could Liu Bei let Lin Mu fight Cao Ren by himself, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and the hundred officials also dissuaded him when they saw this.
But at this moment, there was a noise outside the temple.
