If you don't wear women's clothes, the big man will die!

The authenticity of the content written on the bamboo slips is questionable. Cao Cao saw the name of the performer and murmured: "Yang Biao?"

"Yang Biao colluded with Qiao Xuan and other 'partisans', intending to cleanse the imperial court into the world of his own party members. What does this have to do with Dou Wu? Do you think you are doing the right thing? You think you are Is it just? Well, then, they will move your father next time. The reason for intercepting this report is because of my position as Shangshuling. You can fully exercise your authority, just like helping them to join Wangfu, and you will be arrested. The evidence of collusion between my father and me was sent to the imperial court together."

Cao Jie gently smiled and asked: "You can take all these away, and how to deal with it is up to you. I am only a person with a family and life, and I will die when I die. It's a pity that several members of your Cao family will be buried with me together." .”

Cao Cao's palms were cold, but his face was cold and he asked: "Cao Shangshu ordered you to jump over the wall in a hurry. Has it reached the point of threatening me with my family?"

"How could it be?" Cao Jie sighed softly, sat down on his seat, poured himself a glass of water leisurely, and shook his head: "You still don't understand, who is your friend and who is with you?" Are you an enemy?"

"Your Majesty is my friend, and all bureaucrats and eunuchs who persecute the people are my enemies," Cao Cao said coldly.

"It also includes your father," Cao Jie asked Cao Cao with a smile: "A man, is your world only black and white? You have been out for three years, and you haven't figured out what exists under the shadows. What kind of things?"

Cao Cao was silent, so speechless.

Cao Jie got up, walked to the cabinet door, took out the brazier from the cabinet, and put it on the ground.

He approached Cao Cao, and stroked the back of his hand holding the bamboo slips with his white fingers, the cool touch made Cao Cao's back stand up with hairs.

Cao Jie whispered coaxingly in his ear: "Some of these evidences are true, and some are fabricated by Yang Biao. You know the relationship of the people behind Yang Biao. Now you just need to burn these bamboo slips, your father It's safe."

Afterwards, all you need to do is kill Yang Biao and the people behind him, and all crises will be resolved naturally.

Taking advantage of Cao Cao's absent-minded moment, Cao Jie pushed his hand, and the bamboo slip fell into the brazier in front of him with a dull sound.

After the oil was poured over, the oil lamp fell over, and the pile of dry bamboo slips burned quickly, and the heat wave hit his face, causing Cao Cao to take a step back and frowned tightly.

The flames danced in Cao Jie's eyes, and the crackling sound of burning bamboo slips was heard next to his ears, Cao Cao's mind went blank.

Just, so burned?

Cao Jie was very satisfied with Cao Cao's reaction. His gentle voice as always, like a devil's murmur, constantly lured Cao Cao into the abyss.

"Even if you don't join us, you should know that the safest way is to keep yourself safe and don't do unnecessary things. After Wang Fu's death, their next target is me. They will start with my 'partners' first, and then slowly Slow is driving me to a corner. I don't expect you to help me, you just need, your father has been working with me since you were in elementary school, and over the years, it has reached the point where one wins and the other loses .”

Cao Jie warned Cao Cao: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want to cut off my tail for survival. You have to think about the consequences."

After Cao Jie finished speaking, he waved to Cao Cao: "Okay, you can go back!"

Cao Cao left in a daze, and the Cao family manor that he and his father built when they returned to their hometown in Qiao County kept appearing in his mind. At that time, a large number of things were transported to the newly built manor, and the whole Cao family was so luxurious. Just like a palace, my father was busy working on these things all day long, and a large number of wealthy families and county magistrates came to give gifts...

"Why didn't I think of that?"

Now that I come back to my senses, it turns out that a long time ago, my family has become the richest and powerful family in my hometown.

Cao Cao knew that what his father did was embezzlement and bribery. How could it be possible to build such a large family business only with the salary of the chief farmer?Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, their Cao family is also the eunuch's henchman!

After Cao Cao left, Cao Jie relaxed, and secretly cursed Cao Song for having a good son.

"I just hope that this time I can scare him away and stop doing unnecessary things."

The late emperor's concubine, Yu Guiren, died of illness. Cao Jie was in charge of arranging her funeral. When he returned, he found Wang Fu's body on the side of the road. Several wild dogs were eating Wang Fu's face, stomach and limbs, leaving behind the dead body. Eat the white-capped bones.

Cao Jie had mixed feelings in his heart. He only needed to think about the fate of Wang Fu and his son to feel shuddering, and immediately said to the people around him: "Although Wang Fu and I will kill each other for the sake of profit, we are both eunuchs and have cooperated before. How can I have the heart to see wild dogs eating Wang Fu's soup? Go and collect Wang Fu's body and find a clean place to bury it!"

The subordinate obeyed the order and left, leaving Cao Jie alone in the carriage, thinking about how to move the next batch of chess, he murmured in a low voice: "It's time to counterattack."

If he doesn't fight back, those people may really think that he is weak and can be bullied!

Cao Cao rushed home, his anger almost consumed all his rationality, anger, disappointment, disbelief, his admiration for his father collapsed into pieces, and when he saw Cao Song talking to his youngest son Cao De with a smile, Cao Cao took a deep breath Suppressing his anger, he said bluntly to Mrs. Zou: "Mother, please take my brother away from here. Father and I have important government affairs to discuss."

How often had Cao Cao talked to his family so coldly? He stared at Cao Song with angry eyes, as if he was about to rush over and bite him.

After Mrs. Zou left, Cao Song wondered, "What's the matter? Who made you angry?"

Cao Cao asked him with a cold face: "Father has colluded with Cao Jie for many years, how many people have been corrupted?!"

Cao Song took a breath, and his whole body was icy cold. He suddenly said, "You know? Cao Jie told you?"

"It's Yang Biao. He collected evidence of your corruption and bribery, and told His Majesty that if Cao Jie hadn't been ordered by the Minister to intercept him, his father would have ended up in the same fate as General Duan!" Cao Cao's eyes were red, and he asked loudly: "You Why on earth do we have to embezzle and accept bribes? And why do we cooperate with eunuchs?! Isn’t the property left by my grandfather enough for us to squander? I have never had to worry about food and clothing since I was a child. Could it be that I was raised by my father’s stolen money from his conscience? Is it?"

Cao Song said angrily, "Presumptuous! Is this how you talk to Weifu?"

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and explained to Cao Cao: "I am in this position, it is impossible to be clean, Cao Jie entrusted you with this Yang Biao's performance, in order to warn you not to Come on, lest we really bring disaster to our family!"

"Is it me or my father who is messing around? What does it mean to be impossible to be clean? You have a clear conscience. If you don't do those things, you can do it. Our family is not poor. Isn't the family property left by our grandfather not enough to squander? Father doesn't squander at will, and son does too. You are not a prodigal son, why did you take the path of corruption?" Cao Cao was disappointed and heartbroken.

Cao Song said bluntly: "That's because of corruption, you can stand firmer than not being corrupt. If you are not corrupt, you can't even be an official. If you are corrupt, you can become a member of the court, and you won't be excluded as a different kind. "

"I figured out that my father's way of being an official is to protect himself wisely and collude with his party members!" Cao Cao scolded: "It's no wonder that outsiders call me the 'Huan Party', because my father is a veritable 'Huan Party'! Father has completely forgotten the way of doing things, you are really dirty as an official."

"How much do you have to do in the officialdom, why can't you bear it?" Cao Song had a terrible headache, and sternly reprimanded: "You have grown up, after all these years, why would you still say such naive and stupid words to me! Which official in the court is not corrupt, and who does not have a few party members? Being in the court is like sailing in the official sea. If there is no big boat to ride, just one person can overturn you with just a wave! You are now The reason you have the guts to shout here is because you have His Majesty, me, and Cao Jie protecting you, without us, you are nothing!"

"Even if I am not an official, I will never do anything I am ashamed of." Cao Cao's chest rose and fell violently, and he raised his hand and slapped the wall as if venting. The beast roared and questioned from the soul: "I don't believe that the whole court is full of courtiers who violated their conscience and betrayed His Majesty and the big man. Is everyone cheating? Don't follow corruption and accept bribes, and you will be punished." Suppression, being excluded as a different kind, why did it become like this?!"

Cao Song shook his head: "You are still too young. Nowadays, everyone is doing everything to protect themselves. Since catering to the current situation can make everyone feel at ease and make it easier, why do you want to be the one who sails against the current? Qiao Xuan is as smelly and hard as a rock, invulnerable to swords and guns? Even honest and upright officials will end badly, look at Chen Fan who was used by Dou Wu back then, and look at your lingering sick husbands Li Ying and Qiao Xuan."

"The surest way is to search for people's fat and anointment, build private houses and warehouses, pile up treasures and treasures, be greedy for food and salaries from the state treasury, and help eunuchs suppress colleagues?" Cao Cao sarcastically said: "Forgive me for not agreeing with my father's approach. To be an official, you need a conscience. If you don’t serve the country, but go against your conscience and do things that are harmful to the country because of the general trend, that’s not an official, but a monster controlled by greed.”

Cao Song asked Cao Cao: "If a piece of clothing has a hole, it can be mended by sewing. If this piece of clothing is full of holes, how can I repair it? I'm not that capable. I can't mend it. You Come on. You can't even tell that Qiao Xuan is using you. It seems that you have only learned some superficial knowledge of the way of being an official all these years, and your brain has been washed into a fool by those old-fashioned sage words! "

Cao Cao found it difficult to communicate with his father, but it was impossible for him to really kill his father, nor could he exterminate his relatives righteously to expose the incident.

The painful blow from reality smashed Cao Cao's heart from his hot blooded state. It was so cold that he left home and found that this promising Luoyang had nowhere to go.

The brothel and Chu Pavilion were singing and dancing, and he felt bored hearing those worldly sounds, and he didn't want to go to the nearby inn, let alone go back to the palace.His father corrupted the state treasury, and it is unknown how many people were involved. The treasury is the money bag of the Han Dynasty and the emperor. He only felt sorry for Liu Hong's trust with all his heart, and he was sorry for the friends he had made sincerely over the years.

After going around for a while, Cao Cao came to the gate of Taixue, and he could see the tallest house at a glance, where was the place where he had stayed the longest—Cangshu Pavilion.

Cao Cao suddenly wanted to take a look at Taixue, but when he walked to the entrance, the gatekeeper yelled at him. If he wanted to enter Taixue, he needed the name tag of a student or a teacher, otherwise no matter which high-ranking official he was, except the emperor, everyone else Neither can enter.

Cao Cao was helpless, and came to the Yueyang Tower where he could see the whole picture of Taixue.

He heard someone calling him, and when he turned his head, he saw that handsome young man with a slender figure, wasn't he Xiao Yu's younger brother whom he hadn't seen for many years?

Cao Cao suddenly said, "We haven't seen each other for four years, Xiao Yu is as tall as me."

Xun Yu walked in, who happened to be a little taller than Cao Cao.

"Why did Ah Man come to Luoyang Tower at this time?" Xun Yu saw that the sky was getting dark, and asked him puzzled, "Your house is a certain distance from here, and the palace gate is not in this direction."

Cao Cao smiled wryly and shook his head: "I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to find a place to drink."

People say that being drunk relieves a thousand worries. Maybe if you are drunk, you won't be suffering in ice and fire like you are now?

Cao Cao entered Luoyang Building, ordered a private room where he could see the whole picture of Taixue, and ordered ten altars of fine wine.

Xun Yu was a little worried, he hesitated, and followed Cao Cao's pace to the private room.

"Ah, what happened?" He asked concerned.

"It's nothing, I just want to drink," Cao Cao said listlessly, went to open a jar of wine, poured a bowl, and drank it like a cow's drink.

"Also, I changed my name. I'm not called Aman now, but you can call me by my name, Meng De." Cao Cao said again, twitching the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating way: "I even lost the name I've had for 20 years. , I'm really useless."

Xun Yu was even more sure that he had encountered something unsatisfactory.

If you want to persuade him to drink, you can't persuade him, he can only watch to prevent accidents, he thought for a while, and when Meng Dezhen got drunk, he asked Xiaoer to replace the rest of the wine with water, and drink as much as he wanted.

Cao Cao drank and drank, a blush appeared on his cheeks, and he began to babble about how he followed Lu Zhi in Jiujiang to punish the powerful, punish the evil and promote the good. tears.

Xun Yu knew about his experiences over the years from his confused words. The chaotic situation in various places has been around for a long time, and it is obviously impossible to really clear it up.

He could even guess that after Meng De and Lu Zhi left, the powerful landlords would rise again.

Cao Cao babbled: "The poorest people at the bottom have nowhere to complain, the officials cheat, the top ones take bribes, and I, like a wimp, can only be dumb and cannot tell the truth. , the price is greater than telling lies. What else can I do now? They are pushing me, and they have never thought about how much impact their actions will have. I also blame Your Majesty for being lazy in government affairs, but forgetting that Then a group of selfish officials who cover up the facts are misleading him and deceiving him."

Xun Yu sighed lightly: "Meng De, you are drunk."

Fearing that Cao Cao's unspeakable news would be heard by others, Xun Yu took the remaining six jars of wine out of the private room, called Xiaoer to clean them up, and poured fresh water for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took it and poured it out like venting: "There are many disasters everywhere, and the big man is suffering from illness. Where is the hope? I thought that when my students grow up and join the court, they can assist His Majesty in seeking the well-being of the people. Now I can only see the wailing of all the people in the world. I have been lucky enough to do things in office, but I can only enrich a square inch of land, and I have to cater to my superiors. .Is this the officialdom? Without the protection of the party members, is it true that those who only serve the people as officials are forced to die?"

When Cao Cao asked Xun Yu, he was full of confusion. He couldn't see the direction of the way forward, and even felt lost.

"The wealth of the folk is gathered in the hands of a small number of people. The rich get richer, the powerful get more powerful, the poor get poorer, and more and more people die of starvation. The whole Luoyang seems to be rich and peaceful, but it is like water. The moon will be shattered at the slightest drop of rain, what should I do, really want to follow my father's wishes and be a wise and safe dumb?"

He can't kill relatives righteously, that's his father!

Cao Cao wept bitterly, pulled Xun Yu's sleeves, weeping, and soon soaked Xun Yu's clean, elegant and fragrant sleeves.

"If there is no change, the world will be chaotic sooner or later, just like the mobs in Xingyang are fighting for survival. What will Luoyang do, and what will His Majesty do?"

Xun Yu couldn't twitch his sleeves, so he could only sigh helplessly: "Then I can only do my best and obey the destiny."

"The destiny?! No, I don't believe in the destiny, I only believe in myself," Cao Cao wiped his tears, and then wiped his nose again. After realizing that it was Xun Yu's sleeve, he said tearfully, "Take your sleeve If it gets dirty, how about Xiaoyu cut off the sleeve and bring it back to me, and return it to you after washing it?"

Xun Yu: "..."

It seems that he is really drunk.

As considerate and gentle as Xun Yu, he couldn't pull his sleeves, so he could only take off his coat and use it as a cloth for Cao Cao to wipe.

Xun Yu persuaded: "The more you know, the more painful and lonely you are. That's because you are chasing the truth like a sage. There are countless hardships in the world, and people will inevitably encounter several encounters. You are on this road that is different from others. The road is different. It will be flat, if the thorns are in front of you, even if there is no end in sight, why not do what you can do, do your best, and obey the destiny, so why not use human affairs to fight against the sky? But just ask for a clear conscience, find yourself, and keep your original intention. "

"What if I have a guilty conscience?" Cao Cao insisted on asking an answer. With the momentum of breaking the casserole, he forced Xun Yu to answer for him. Eye sockets slightly moist.

He could understand his pain, like suffering in ice and fire, watching the development of the world, feeling like a lunatic out of place, wanting to change, but powerless.

Cao Cao asked: "If I have a shame, what should I do to eliminate this shame, and what can I do to make everything in the world safe?"

Xun Yu said softly: "You can't have both, if you feel ashamed, be the one who is ashamed, the things you can do with a guilty heart must be that you are more important than yourself. Now that you have stepped into the officialdom, it is difficult to make a decision based on the balance of interests, and some of them are just in exchange for the best result at the smallest price!"

Cao Cao chatted with Xun Yu until late at night, drunk, and fell asleep with the wine jar in his arms, and asked Xun Yu to put him on the bed and cover him with a quilt.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao thanked Xun Yu shyly, and asked him nervously, "I didn't say anything strange yesterday, did I?"

Xun Yu shook his head: "I forgot all about it."

He said he forgot, but the coat that Cao Cao used as a rag to wipe his nose and tears was still lying on the bed!

Xun Yu didn't mention Cao Cao's gaffe last night, nor did he mention the topic of conversation last night. This caring and secretive calmness is something Cao Cao has never seen before.

Once upon a time, a child who was only as tall as his own chest had grown into such an outstanding appearance.

After bidding farewell to Xun Yu, Cao Cao began to communicate with Xun Yu frequently. In the letters, they discussed the words of the sages and the methods of governing the world. In reality, they could always find some comfort in words and lines.

After chatting with Cao Song, Cao Cao has become a dumb person. He no longer cares about the previous government affairs or communicates with anyone every day. Apart from watching Liu Hong go to court every day, he concentrates on being a Chinese doctor. , like a dog guarding the gate of the palace, dedicated to his duties and keeping himself safe.

He also had a deeper thought about why Yang Biaoming knew that Cao Jie would stop the performance, but still handed over the bamboo slips and evidence to impeach his father. Isn't this clearly telling Cao Jie to move Cao Song?

Unless, they never planned to move Cao Song from the beginning.

Cao Jie alone controls the government, Yang Biao joins Wang Fu by relying on Cao Cao, and the person behind him is Qiao Xuan who lives at home.

After thinking about it for a long time, Cao Cao could only come to the conclusion that they were warning Cao Jie, a signal to declare war on Cao Jie, and that they wanted him to retreat in spite of difficulties and not to get involved.

Both parties seemed to dislike Cao Cao, and they didn't want him to participate in this battle. They seemed to believe that Cao Cao would spoil their good deeds.

Thinking about this, Cao Cao felt even more uncomfortable. He covered his dull heart, subconsciously not thinking about these troublesome things.

Qiao Xuan's next target is Cao Jie. He retreats behind the scenes, but there are many people in the court who are attached to him and follow his orders.This smelly and hard stone, who never followed others, relied on his own ability and talent to recruit a group of people who were willing to follow him and admire him through the ups and downs.

Cao Cao thought, isn't this the "party leader"?

Although he still admired Qiao Xuan in his heart, Cao Cao did not dare to contact Qiao Xuan again. The dangers and dangers of the officialdom, there is no right or wrong, whether it is a traitor or a good minister, the position is different, and the decisions made are also different.

Cao Cao acted like a mute, Liu Hong was puzzled, he leaned over and stared at Cao Cao's expressionless handsome face, looked left and right, and asked Cao Cao, "I haven't done anything wrong recently, have I?"

Liu Hong first conducts a self-examination. He has not been addicted to having fun recently, nor has he invited beauties to play together, nor has he killed innocent people indiscriminately.

After confirming that he was not making Cao Cao angry, Liu Hong relaxed and asked Cao Cao with a smile: "What's the matter with you, you seem depressed?"

Cao Cao shook his head: "I'm just a little tired."

"Tired?" Liu Hong was surprised that a hard-working man who had always been active and energetic would say the word tired. He immediately called in the imperial doctor and pointed to Cao Cao for the imperial doctor to feel his pulse.

The imperial doctor said: "It's just a knot in my heart, it's nothing serious, the young man is full of energy, don't hold back, let it out when it's time to vent."

The imperial doctor knew that Cao Cao's yang energy was sufficient when he took a pulse. Compared with the weak emperor, the yang energy of this Chinese doctor Ling is like a small furnace!

The imperial doctor withdrew after prescribing some heat-clearing and fire-reducing medicines, and Liu Hong showed a subtle smile: "Ah, don't you really need me to reward you with some beauties?"

Cao Cao said helplessly: "No need, I have a son."

The little guy in the family was raised by Mrs. Zou. Cao Cao suddenly recalled that he hadn't gotten along well with the baby for nearly seven days. Looking back, he opened the system panel and saw that the score inside had indeed turned red as failing.

Not only can he not be a good official, he can't be a good son, he can't even be a father.

Cao Cao's mood fell down again, and he was much more reticent than before.

Liu Hong wondered: "Who made you angry? Or who bullied you?"

Cao Cao didn't want to say it, so he thought of other ways to divert his attention. Liu Hong said, "I received a copy today."

Cao Cao moved his ears and looked slightly sideways.

"Cai Yong said seven things, and suggested that I should promote the courtiers who are capable and talented, and should not reward officials to villains at random. No one in the court is rewarded for loyalty, but most of them are killed for slander and slander. So much so that the officials acted like dumb and dared not speak. The duty of the local county magistrate is to govern the people, and doing good things for the people is merit, not how much benefit he has given to his superiors and how much property he has handed over."

Every time Liu Hong said a word, he was looking at Cao Cao's expression. Seeing that he was listening seriously, he touched his lips lightly: "I think what Cai Yong said is very reasonable."

Cao Cao also nodded, and finally his eyes brightened, he hurriedly said: "Cai Yong's words are all good words for governing the world."

He learned to be smart, and did not stand in line because of Cai Yong's identity. Cao Cao decided to stand on the side of the truth. Besides, what Cai Yong played was exactly what he wanted to persuade Liu Hong in his heart. How could this not make him blind? Where is the light?

Liu Hong then promoted Cai Yong to an official position and ordered him to write some more political points and recommend talents.

Cai Yong finally had a chance, and he appealed to the emperor again, asking the emperor to clean up the bad government and impeach those who deceived the courtiers.

Cao Jie promoted his fellow countrymen, acted cronyically, and colluded with party members. From Luoyang to other places, he had connections everywhere, ranging from county magistrates to three princes and nine ministers. The party members were so prosperous that one person almost controlled the government.

In addition, Cai Yong impeached dozens of courtiers, all of whom were closely related to Cao Jie, including Cao Song.

Liu Hong shook his head, and said to Cao Cao, "I thought Cai Yong was a smart man, but I didn't expect him to be ignorant of current affairs."

When Cao Cao heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.

But when Liu Hong summoned Cao Jie, he ordered: "Cai Yong slandered the courtiers, hated and served the public, dismissed from office for investigation, and sent to prison. If the circumstances are serious, he will be killed in the city."

Cao Cao stopped him and said, "Cai Yong's actions are also concerned about the government. I hope His Majesty will clear up the government. He has made so many contributions. Even if he pays off his achievements, this performance will not cause him to be sentenced to death!"

Liu Hong said: "In his last memorial, he said not to slander ministers and kill people, but to reward loyal ministers, but in the next memorial he slapped himself in the face. He changed his mind so quickly, I thought he was a shameless villain. "

"He will definitely not be a shameless villain, he is a well-known celebrity!" Cao Cao said halfway, but realized that he seemed to have done something superfluous, and hurriedly reined in the precipice and closed his mouth.

Liu Hong thought for a while, and then ordered: "Shut up first and then talk."

Cao Cao wanted to intercede for Cai Yong, but Liu Hong stopped him.

"The situation is unclear, so you should take a look first," Liu Hong reminded Cao Cao, "You can't forget that you are in an officialdom just because you used to be an imperial student and respected these gentlemen."

Soon, Cao Jie came to meet the saint and told Liu Hong about the tragic condition of Wang Fu's corpse.

Liu Hong sighed lightly: "Go and collect Wang Fu's body and bury it. After all, he served me and the Queen Mother with all his heart."

Cao Jie bowed his head in response, and didn't look at the woman beside Liu Hong much, just thinking about it with his feet, he could guess that the woman was played by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao still didn't understand the entanglements involved, and the development in the next few days was as miraculous as watching a big drama.

First, Cai Yong, who was imprisoned, was exempted from the death penalty and was sentenced to exile. Then, Yang Qiushangzuo Shen Cao Jie abused his power.

Cao Jie fell as if a basin of water had been poured down from the sky, and it was gone after swiping the ground. Cao Cao didn't react for a long time.

As soon as he fell, the literati and bureaucrats celebrated together. How could the courtiers not be excited when the huge mountain that was pressing on everyone's heads was removed?

Cao Cao should have been happy, but when he thought of his father who was in danger, he couldn't be happy again.

Sure enough, after the fall of Cao Jie, those literati who celebrated wildly planned to take advantage of the victory and pursue, clean up all Cao Jie's followers, and clear the court!

Liu Hong invited Cao Cao and showed Cao Cao the performances of those scholar-officials.

In front of the imperial case, there are piles of various bamboo slips, which occupy a limited space.

Liu Hong casually picked up a copy and spread it out to him, then smiled at him and said, "As soon as the mountain fell, all the ghosts and monsters under the pressure of the mountain ran out and jumped."

The courtiers began to pull their party members, and formed a unit of family and in-laws to fight against the eunuchs and their colleagues. They began to tear each other and impeach each other.

Among them, the ones who were impeached the most were Da Si Nong Cao Song and his son Cao Cao.

Cao Cao: "..."

Liu Hong said to Cao Cao, "Isn't it interesting?"

Cao Cao was speechless, he still didn't understand what Liu Hong meant.

The emperor sighed softly, and gave Cao Cao all the top notes to impeach Cao Song: "The matter of the court affects the whole body, no matter who it is, it is impossible to be completely celibate, this is the current situation of the court. No matter how high-minded people are, they will also establish party feathers, so I have to issue the order of the party, but even so, the party members are still emerging in endlessly, and they cannot be suppressed no matter what. The students cultivated by Taixue are not disciples of the emperor, but after they come out. Forming cliques and helping other courtiers' party members, I thought that the master who changed the teaching for the Taixue could train his own people, but the facts have proved that even Ah Man was almost deceived by those people. "

Liu Hong asked Cao Cao again: "Do you know that your father is corrupt and accepts bribes?"

Cao Cao: "..."

"Don't be nervous, there are not many courtiers who are not corrupt," Liu Hong chuckled, and said to Cao Cao: "It's just greed for more and greed for less. They say that I and the Queen Mother love money, but they don't love money." Money?"

Cao Cao's expression was complicated: "Your Majesty."

Liu Hong said casually: "Your father is corrupt and accepts bribes. I will not deal with him, because I have a good relationship with you. You are someone close to me. Of course, I will give you this face. Besides, all the property in this world belongs to me. They If you can bring property and treasures into your big family, I can also give these to those close to you. You are a good brother I recognize. Your father is timid. If you can embezzle as many things as possible, those will be rewarded to you It's the same."

No, this is not right!

Cao Cao was startled and said, "Why do you want to do this, Your Majesty? Wouldn't it mean that the way of governing the family is applied to governing the country, and there will be big troubles!"

"Then I'll investigate and prosecute the chief secretary?" Liu Hong asked with a smile.

Cao Cao's face turned blue and then white, and his heart was agitated by the contrast between the front and the back.

"Pfft, well I won't tease you anymore."

"You see, I don't have any disciples of my own," Liu Hong said with a soft smile, "No one really respects me as a master. What they see in their hearts is their party and their family."

"Since this is the case, why should I appoint those who are not so loyal to me?" Liu Hong asked Cao Cao: "If I promote poor families, regardless of whether they can be promoted to be useful, can the promoted people be in this way?" How can you keep your original intentions in the court and not be wooed? Friendship and interests, the means of the party members are so powerful, they actually wooed Ah Mo all over!"

"I don't have that much ability to distinguish between loyal and evil." Governing state affairs is nothing more than choosing a relatively reasonable one among a group of courtiers who sing like cursing at a market.

Liu Hongzha is also aboveboard, he really admitted that he is a "mediocre" with little ability.

The reason why he doesn't recognize the word Hunjun is because he has recently started to work hard as a courtier, at least he is better than the first emperor, isn't he?

"You are someone who is close to me, and so is Wang Fu, and there are many more people who are friendly to me," Liu Hong explained to Cao Cao: "Whenever courtiers impeach each other, we should protect the right party, right? But if someone impeaches you, I will not help you. Others are the same. The difference between you and them is that when I help you, I will rank you first. If two relatives fight each other I can only let go of the one who is not so close, you know?"

"No, I would rather not know about this!" Cao Cao finally had a calm expression, his voice was broken, and his expression was helpless with grief and indignation.

This is why Liu Hong ordered everyone to go out. He wanted to speak clearly with Cao Cao face to face.

"Do you know how tiring it is to govern such a court?" Liu Hong asked Cao Cao: "You are already feeling tired in your current position, so what about me? In my position, I can only see more than you. They will try their best to deceive me, I will be fooled, and I will make mistakes, and occasionally I will realize the truth after a while."

"When I promote eunuchs, the eunuchs deceive me. When I promote courtiers, the courtiers deceive me. The eunuchs exclude dissidents, but those courtiers who pretend to be noble want to kill all the eunuchs, so that I have no one to use and can only rely on them," Liu Honggou Lip: "If you want to kill them, you need to risk the scolding of the world, you have to bear the crime of being a fool, and you have to risk being kicked out of the throne by them. No one will blame me for killing eunuchs. I can take their lives at will and order them In doing things, I am the backer of the eunuchs, and I promoted them as knives against the party members, did I do something wrong?"

Cao Cao was silent again, and he argued weakly: "But there are still people who are willing to come to serve the court and do things for His Majesty, and His Majesty can't give up on himself, the court fights, and it harms the interests of the big man, which supports eunuchs and party members. Fighting, how many people who can really govern the country will be lost!"

"The big man is rotten from the root, can't you feel it?" Cao Cao was taken aback by the emperor's sudden words.

Cao Cao couldn't believe that these words came from the emperor's mouth!

Anyone can say such a thing, but the emperor, if even the emperor says that the great man is about to perish, what is the talk of governing the country, and what is the talk of saving the great man?

"what?!"

"The Han Dynasty has been hopeless for a long time. I admit that I really like to have fun, but so what?" Liu Hong sat back on the imperial case, sorted out the bamboo slips piled up on it, and said while doing it: "I But it’s not as powerful as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it’s impossible to clear up such a court, anyway, the country will not perish in my hands, why should I go to great lengths to deal with the mess left by the late emperors?”

After putting away the bamboo slips, Liu Hong stood up and came to Cao Cao: "I can forgive your father today, and I will forgive others in the future. There is nothing to say about that. As long as I am alive during my reign , after death, who cares about the flood?"

Hearing what Liu Hong said, Cao Cao couldn't bear the thought of hating iron and steel, but felt that the previous sense of confusion was even stronger.

He felt like a leaf in the sea, with no idea of ​​the future
