Great Wei Nengchen

"There is an old saying: a wife is honored by her husband, and a child is valued by her mother. Children who are not in good health will often worship a foster mother, and get their blessings to protect them, so that they can grow up healthy!

Cang Shu's health is not very good, if he can pay homage to a blessed adoptive mother, all diseases will disappear and he will grow up healthy, but Cang Shugui is the son of the prime minister, so there are very few people in the world who are qualified to be his adoptive mother Less! "

After listening to Xiao Yi's words, everyone couldn't help nodding their heads repeatedly, but the Han family has this custom of worshiping the adoptive father and adoptive mother for sick children, praying for their protection!

Some places are even more exaggerated, thinking that people's blessings are limited, but the energy of heaven and earth is endless, and directly worshiping a huge stone as a godfather, or a big tree as a godmother, and giving the child a cheap name can eliminate disasters and misfortunes!

The ancients paid attention to the crowning of men at twenty, but when Cao Chong was ten years old, Cao Cao crowned him and bestowed the word: Cang Shu, hoping that his beloved son will grow up healthily. !

Now it is a good thing to recognize Cao Chong as a adoptive mother, but the son of a majestic prime minister, it is not acceptable to recognize stones and big trees, that is the custom of poor families, and it is not appropriate to recognize a foster father. Who dares to stand shoulder to shoulder with a traitor? But if you want to recognize an adoptive mother, choosing the right one is a big problem, right?

In addition, only the adoptive mothers with higher status can be protected by her blessings, and the ones with higher status than the Cao family are only the royal family of the Han Dynasty, but none of the adult women in the royal family is suitable to be Cao Chong's adoptive mother. There is a suitable candidate, but the status is not enough...

"There is no need to worry about this matter. The candidate is far away in the sky and close in front of you. If it comes to wealth and honor, who can be better than Madam?"

"Okay! Okay...the matter is none other than Madam!"

He came up with the questions and answered them himself, Xiao Yi clasped his fists slightly, just facing Mrs. Ding, the latter's eyes brightened immediately, and it was just too much for him to accept Cao Chong as his adopted son.

Cao Cao was the first to react, and said two good words in succession. Cheng Yu, Mao Jie, and Jiang Ji even secretly gave their thumbs up. Da Sima's move of "pushing the boat with the flow" is really beautiful!

Mrs. Ding has a special status. No matter which son is adopted, it will interfere with the establishment of the reserve and affect the stability of the Caoying Group. However, if she forcibly obstructs it, there is no suitable reason, and she will offend the wife!

Cao Cao felt guilty towards her. Once Mrs. Ding was upset, the traitor would definitely be furious, and the consequences would be serious...

Cao Chong is an exception. Although his talent is extremely high, his health is too poor. Even if he has the status of a son-in-law, he will not be able to inherit the inheritance, let alone attract the jealousy of his brothers!

Everyone can also see that Mrs. Ding likes Cao Chong very much, and regards him as the reincarnation of Cao Ang to comfort the pain of losing her son, and Cao Chong has an extra wife, which is equivalent to an extra umbrella. It can be said to be the best of both worlds. !

"Congratulations to the eldest lady, I have added a beloved son to my knees!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Cangshu for becoming the first son of the Cao family!"

…………

Cheng Yu, Mao Jie, and Jiang Ji, several important ministers, immediately came forward to congratulate and confirmed the matter. Mrs. Ding returned the gift with all blessings, and then ran to take care of Cao Chong, showing the love of a loving mother!

Cao Cao stroked his beard, laughed with satisfaction, and prepared to go back to revise the family tree and formally hold the adoption ceremony. As for Cao Chong's birth mother, Mrs. Huan, as a concubine, she has no right to speak!

However, there are still some things to say, if Mrs. Huan doesn't give up her ambition, there will be troubles sooner or later, and it won't be so easy to pass the test next time.

"The battle of Qianlong is extremely dangerous. I hope that my wife will take care of herself. Even if she doesn't think about herself, she should also think about the two young masters. Don't let the incident of the human being happen again, and don't let the tragedy of King Zhao Yin happen again!"

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Xiao Yi walked up to Mrs. Huan and whispered a few words. The latter's face suddenly paled, and she trembled in fright. She is also a talented woman who has read many books, so she naturally knows the story of "Ren Yi" .

Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, had a concubine, Mrs. Qi, who was more slender than Xi Shi in appearance, and was more proficient in rhythm and dancing skills.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi was arrogant because of her favor. Not only did she repeatedly challenge the authority of the empress Lu Zhi, but she also kept blowing the pillow wind, first making her son the king of Zhao, and then seeking the crown prince, but was blocked by a group of important officials Xiao He and Zhang Liang.

When Liu Bang passed away, Prince Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, and Lu Zhi became the empress dowager, he immediately retaliated wildly. First, he tricked King Zhao Ruyi into the capital and poisoned him with a cup of poisoned wine. "King Zhao Yin" was his posthumous title!

Taking advantage of his power, he tortured Mrs. Qi—cutting off her limbs, gouging out her eyes, pouring copper juice into her ears to make her lose her hearing, and cutting off her tongue so that she could not speak... Finally, she was thrown into a cesspit. Turned into a 'human pig! '

What Xiao Yi said was to warn Mrs. Huan to immediately put aside any unreasonable thoughts and not to participate in the battle for the establishment of the crown prince. Otherwise, once Cao Pi and Cao Zhi are in power, her fate may not be better than that of Madam Qi, brothers Cao Ju and Cao Yu. Also suffer accordingly!

"I hope Da Sima will take pity on him, and for Cang Shu's sake, he will save the lives of our mother and child!"

Mrs. Huan took a few steps back, her heart filled with fear. This top-level political game is really not something she can participate in, so it's better to save her life!

In the following years, Mrs. Huan really restrained herself a lot. She no longer intervened in military and political affairs, nor participated in the battle for the establishment of the crown prince. Seeing must perform the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping, and finally life will be safe and sound!

That night, a group of people lived in the school, and held a grand banquet. One was to comfort the many doctors and students, and hoped that they would achieve better results in the new year; Health and longevity!

During the banquet, Cao Cao, Xiao Yi and others drank to their heart's content, and then went to bed and rest separately; the next morning, when they were about to return to the city, Mrs. Ding firmly refused and asked to stay in Zhengming Academy!

For one thing, Cao Chong is still very weak. She wants to stay and take care of him, so as to cultivate the relationship between mother and child. Moreover, the environment around the school is elegant, which is a good place for self-cultivation!

Second, people inside and outside the prime minister's mansion are all on Madam Bian's side. Even if Madam Ding goes back, she's just making fun of herself, so she should keep her dignity!

Regarding Mrs. Ding's decision, all the ministers agreed with both hands and feet, thinking that this is the best arrangement. Cao Cao did not object, and promised to come often to visit their mother and son, and then returned to the prime minister's mansion with a group of people. among!

..........................................................................................

"Successful drink--Successful drink, everyone will rest once drunk!"

"I'm waiting to wish the Prime Minister and Madam -- grow old together, and have a full house of children and grandchildren!"

After returning to the prime minister's mansion, Cao Cao held a banquet again, and Mrs. Bian officially sat beside her as the mistress, and accepted the toast from the ministers together, which can be regarded as making up for the previous debt!

Mrs. Huan led the concubines, and Cao Xiong led the younger brothers and sisters. They came forward to toast one by one, and arranged more exciting songs and dances, which was even more lively than the first day of the new year.

After three tours of wine and five tastes of food, Cao Cao used the excuse of not being able to drink enough to leave the lobby and went straight to the secret room. Dozens of civil and military officials, including Xiao Yi, Cheng Yu, Mao Jie, and Jiang Ji, also passed by one after another.

The housework of the prime minister's mansion has been perfectly resolved. The next step is the affairs of the country and the world. How to calm down the civil uprisings in various places, how to suppress the gentry, and how to defend the southern princes?

"Hoo! - Hoo! Hoo!"

In the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion - the lights are flickering, bright as day, Cao Cao is sitting in the middle, civil and military are lined up on both sides, there are dozens of people gathered, but there is no other sound except heavy breathing, everyone is bowing their heads in meditation by:

In fact, it is very simple to solve the civil upheaval. As long as the imperial court distributes money, food, agricultural tools, seeds... so that the people have houses to live in, food to eat, and fields to cultivate, they will live honestly and have children. The key problem is: the treasury is empty, there is no money and food!

Nearly two years of fighting have exhausted the government treasury. Now there is no money, no food, and a shortage of young and strong labor force. Not to mention helping the people everywhere, even the imperial court is difficult to operate normally!

In the past few months, in order to solve the financial problem, Cao Cao and others thought of many ways: civil and military officials donated property, borrowed money from wealthy businessmen, set up cards on major traffic routes in various states, and imposed additional tolls...

It's a pity that the money obtained is extremely limited, and it is not enough to fill the treasury. Liu Ye, Man Chong, Chen Qun and other internal affairs officials scratched their heads in anxiety, their eyes were red, and they drank several bowls of gunpowder every day, but they couldn't get money to save their lives. .

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes converged on one place, and they all fell on Xiao Yi. As the saying goes, those who can do more work, since he is also the chief minister, he naturally has to solve the financial problem!

Xiao Yi was already prepared, took out a memorial from his bosom, and handed it to Cao Cao. There were four large characters on it: Ten Strategies for Governing the Country:

First, the Southern Expedition failed, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the people felt great grievances. Please, the Prime Minister, issue an order to punish yourself and show it to all states, counties, and counties, so as to comfort the hearts of the soldiers and dispel the grievances of the people!

Second, cut down the old, weak, and disabled in the army, give cattle, seeds, and land, and let them return to their hometowns to work in agriculture, increase the number of civilian labor, and reduce the consumption of food and grass in the army!

Third, the imperial court has been fighting for years, and the people are exhausted. We should reduce the land tax and labor for one year, so that the people can recuperate and rebuild their homes!

Fourth, expand the number of diggers and dispatch them to various places to search for treasures and mineral deposits to supplement the shortage of the national treasury...

Fifth, ………………………

Chapter 1372 One ebbs and the other grows, the rise of the Xiao family ([-])

After reading "Ten Strategies for Governing the Country", Cao Cao handed it to Cheng Yu, Mao Jie, Jiang Ji, Man Chong... These civil and military ministers closed their eyes and meditated, but passed it around, except for the heavier breathing , everyone is still silent!

In all honesty, Xiao Yi's "Ten Strategies for Governing the Country" - with a long-term vision and comprehensive considerations, is indeed a good way to secure the people, enrich the country, and strengthen the army, but it is not so difficult to implement it.

First of all, there is the issue of disarmament. Since the world was in chaos, the princes have been fighting continuously. Everyone is recruiting troops and desperately expanding their strength. Let’s talk about the Caoying Group. Cao Cao has Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Xiao Yi has Xuanjia Army, and the rest of the generals , also have their own parts!
