Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 211 Cao Chong is not calm anymore
Chapter 212 Cao Chong is not calm anymore
On the way back to Xudu, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi sat in a carriage with Cao Chong.

Wen Jiao didn't want to ride in the same car with Cao Chong!This made Cao Chong very depressed...

On the way, Zhou Buyi asked the school affairs office to send Cao Chong a very interesting news!
Someone wrote a letter saying: Years of fighting, the people are suffering, I advise Cao Cao to rest with the people, and don't use weapons rashly.

"So that's how it is! I've been thinking about it for a few days, you guys are really great!"

Hearing the news from Xu Du, Cao Chong sighed in the carriage.

Seeing Diao Chan and Zhen Mi looking at him curiously, Cao Chong took the initiative to explain to them.

"This time, people gathered and rioted everywhere in the north. It turns out that these gentry families are not willing to be alone, and they are making a fake show! Using such indecent means to force Lao Cao, they are going to be in trouble!"

"They want to limit Lao Cao's power in this way, it's too wishful thinking! To oppose Lao Cao, at least some real materials must be used! Relying on deceitful deception? Thanks to them thinking of it!"

All the way without a word, back to Xudu, Zhou Buyi and Fa are waiting at the gate of the city.

Cao Ren was still in Xiangfan, and Fazheng was transferred back by Cao Chong, so he couldn't be wasted on Sima Yi's old Yinbi, but Sima Yi seemed to have returned to Xudu.

On the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Buyi and Fazheng briefly introduced the situation in Xudu to Cao Chong, it was very strange!

Many courtiers talked about it in private. Not only did the influence of "Shen Jian" not dissipate slowly over time, but the number of people who sought after and supported it was increasing.

What's even weirder is that Xun Yue is dead!
A few days after his death, Cao Chong was still in Luoyang and was about to return to Xudu. The problem is that Lao Cao had already returned to Xudu!

Xun Yue, a well-known scholar of a generation, wrote a book, which contains some opinions against Lao Cao. The book just appeared in Xudu for a few days, and Lao Cao returned to Xudu. Just after Lao Cao returned to Xudu, Xun Yue died!
Cao Chong stopped the news and almost laughed out loud, this old Cao is quite unlucky!
That Xun Yue was about to die, and he probably just hung his breath and waited for Lao Cao to come back, and then he was dying!
Now it's all right, some people must think that it's Lao Cao's black hand.

"What happened to those who wrote to persuade the people to rest with the people?" Cao Chong asked.

"The prime minister hasn't responded yet, but someone directly sent a memorial to His Majesty, and this matter is getting worse." Zhou Buyi frowned.

After Cao Chong heard about Xu Du's current situation, he acted indifferent. If Lao Cao couldn't even deal with such trivial matters, would he still be a traitor in troubled times?

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lao Cao seemed to be recruiting people to discuss matters. After hearing that Cao Chong was back, he just went to the side hall to meet Cao Chong, praised Cao Chong a few words, and then let Cao Chong go back to rest first!
Mrs. Huan missed Cao Chong very much. After Cao Chong took Diao Chan to visit, he stayed at her place for dinner and came back.

Regarding everything in Xudu, Cao Chong held the mentality of watching a joke and didn't pay much attention to it. In addition to the bumpy road, he was very sleepy, so he hugged Diao Chan to rest early.

In the next few days, Lao Cao seemed to be very busy. He met Cao Chong a few times and didn't talk too much, but Cao Pi called Cao Zhi and Cao Chong over.

"What do you think of the rumors in Xudu?" Cao Pi put on the air of a big brother trying to teach his younger brother.

"Brother said it was all gossip, what do you want to say? Just listen to it, why bother with it." Cao Chong answered without waiting for Cao Zhi to speak.

He didn't know why Cao Pi asked such a question, and he didn't want to discuss it with him. Besides, there was nothing to discuss. He really didn't have any opinions and didn't take it seriously.

"All mouths melt gold, accumulate and destroy bones, don't take it lightly..." Cao Zhi and Cao Pi took it very seriously.

It is understandable, after all, they are father and son, and Lao Cao's prestige and power are closely related to the two.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were very dissatisfied with Cao Chong's answer, and then Cao Chong didn't speak again, and the three broke up unhappy.

Lao Cao still called the three of them together to hold a family dinner.

"Have you read all of Shen Jian?" Cao Cao asked the three brothers.

All three answered.

Although Cao Chong said he didn't care much about the political views of the feudal era, and these political views were far from the political views of later generations, he still read it.

After all, it is the opinion of a famous political commentator in this era. If he is ignorant of it, it is not in line with the identity of the prime minister and the official of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Moreover, these views can help him analyze the true thoughts of the nobles.

Lao Cao was very satisfied with the answers of the three, and continued to ask: "How do you feel?"

"Very good!" Cao Chong felt that he was used to rushing to answer.

"Oh, Chong'er is really smart, what's the point of talking about it?" Lao Cao asked with a smile.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are waiting to see the joke, and any fool can see Xun Yue's dissatisfaction with Lao Cao in the book!
"Anyway, it's good. Although there is no specific argument, there are some general principles, and of course they are all very good."

Cao Chongxin said: Don't criticize him at any time for this kind of empty talking about the truth, otherwise it will be easy to invite people to attack collectively.

"It's a big truth...it's good anyway...haha!" Cao Cao laughed.

"What do you think?"

"The baby also thinks it's very good..." Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are not stupid!

"Well, Chong'er is very insightful!" Lao Cao was very happy with Cao Chong's answer, and praised him.

"Tomorrow's court meeting, all three of you will participate!"

"Yes! My child understands!"

Lao Cao seemed very happy, and told the three of them some precautions in the court, and then let the three of them go back.

Cao Chong didn't feel much about the Dachaohui, so he decided to just make up the number, and Han Xiandi didn't have much real power!
However, although Lao Cao said that he has the power alone, it does not mean that no one in the court dares to criticize him. Some things are better kept in mind, so Cao Chong decided that the court should just listen and not talk, and just be a quiet crowd!
But the reality seems to be not what he wants!

"Since Dong Zhuo's calamity, scuffles have continued everywhere, and the people have been displaced..." Sure enough, this matter must be brought to light!
"Nowadays, the common people can no longer bear the heavy taxes. Just after the autumn harvest this year, there have been crowds of common people looting the government's granaries, and there have been riots and looting incidents of common people in various places. According to statistics, there will be as many as a hundred incidents during this autumn and winter." , if I wait until the end of next spring..."

While talking, the old man also presented a statistical catalog to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in a serious manner.

"Has this happened? Could it be that the people of the world have..."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was very cooperative. While asking someone to bring up the statistical report, he also asked in surprise.

Cao Chong continued to eat melons, and wanted to see how Lao Cao would respond?

"Nowadays there is a lot of construction going on, in Yecheng and Luoyang... I heard that there have been many incidents of civil servants rioting and fleeing at the construction site in Luoyang..."

Wait a minute, it's getting into this again!
Aren't you going to deal with Lao Cao?Why are you dragging it on the young master?

Cao Chong immediately lost his composure!
