Cao Cao pulled out a stiff smile, bent down and rubbed Cao Pi's head, and then looked at Cao Zhang who was hanging on Xiahou Dun's lap, the smile on his face made the scalp tingle even more.

Cao Pi moved to the side unobtrusively, lowering his head, not daring to see how the idiot brother would be taught.

Their father is very cautious. Judging from his current expression, he knows that he will definitely be scolded. The relationship between father and Uncle Dun is not fake. Certainly only Cao Zhang himself.

The young Cao Pi tried his best to stay away from the battlefield, fearing that his younger brother would be punished later and affect himself. Cao Ren smiled and got off his horse. Just as he was about to speak to his nephew, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, his mouth was stuffed with dry biscuits.

The dry food that had been stored for two days was too hard to bite. Cao Hong deliberately kept it until now, just because he was afraid that this kid would talk nonsense after he arrived in Yecheng.

Cao Cao had business to do and didn't have time to be jealous like a child, so Xia Houdun hugged Cao Zhang to him, frightened the child with tears in his eyes and didn't dare to really shed them, so he waved his hands walk away.

Well, he is as majestic as ever in front of his son.

Xiahou Dun: ...

Children are ignorant, so why not?

A few people watched Cao Cao go away, until he could no longer see his shadow, Cao Zhang hugged Xiahou Dun tightly with a wow and began to cry. It would be good if Uncle Dun came back by himself, why did his father follow him.

Brother Quan's father next door won't scare the children, so why can't he come back with Brother Quan's father?

A few little guys were playing together just now, after Sun Quan recognized Cao Cao and others, he muttered that his father would not come back. He has learned a lot recently. Although his martial arts are not as good as that of his elder brother, when he learns strategy in the future, he will definitely be like his elder brother. sharp.

Their father and Cao Zhang and Cao Pi's father are both in Yanzhou. Last year when their father celebrated the New Year with them, Cao Pi's father did not come back. This year when Cao Pi's father comes back, their father must be left in Yanzhou to work hard.

Cao Zhang didn’t understand too much when he was young, he only understood that two fathers can only come back one at a time, and his own father scares people when he comes back, so it would be nice to have another father come back, not only won’t scare people, but can also bring children Riding a big horse, can he sleep at Brother Quan's place today?

The child 噫 噫 噫 噫 噫 couldn't speak clearly, and several adults didn't understand. As his own brother, Cao Pi usually saw this stinky boy rolling around and making troubles a lot, so he took a deep breath after understanding what he said.

Good boy, promising, does this mean that life is too comfortable?

Cao Pi covered his face and sighed, and quickly got the nonsense stupid brother out of Xiahou Dun's arms, relying on himself as the elder brother to discipline the younger brother, let Cao Zhang shut his little mouth, and then took a few uncles in to rest.

On the other side, Cao Cao followed the servants leading the way all the way to the study room. It was icy and snowy outside, and when the curtain was opened, a wave of heat rushed towards his face, as if it was two seasons from the outside.

Yuan Huan put down his pen and rubbed his wrist, telling Cao Cao to sit down without being too polite, "I thought it was Wentai who would come over, but I didn't expect Meng De to come back, and it will be Chinese New Year in a few days, so I just stay and come back after the New Year Yanzhou."

"What brother said is true." Cao Cao put the treasured box on the desk, and sat down beside him slowly, not forgetting to say good things to Wu Chenghou, who was forcibly suppressed by him, "Yanzhou still has a lot of things to do. Busy, a lot of thieves and bandits were wiped out a few days ago. People from Xuzhou and Qingzhou continued to flee to Yanzhou. A little carelessness and improper appeasement will invade the counties. Brother Wentai can't leave, so I have to pass on the country Bring the jade seal to elder brother."

He did the official chores himself, and it was Sun Wentai's job to appease the refugees and stabilize the county. He did almost all the work he should do, and left the rest of the work to Sun Wentai.

Cao Mengde said righteous words, as if he was not the one who blasted back Sun Jianjian who wanted to sneak away at the door.

The division of labor between civil and military is really a good idea. He manages Wensun Wentai and martial arts, and runs away after finishing his own work.

Now it’s the twelfth lunar month, and it’s the coldest time after the year. Now Guanzhong is in chaos, and it’s uncertain how much more chaos will happen after the year. There are generals sent by the eldest brother in Qingzhou. Shi Sunrui is loyal to the court, and there is an emperor. In Yecheng, no matter how unhappy that person is, he will never make life difficult for the generals sent by his elder brother. As long as they don't take the initiative to make trouble there, life is really difficult, and Jizhou will definitely provide food to help the people.

He understands the eldest brother's temperament, no matter what the officials do, the people are innocent in his heart, he really forced people to the point of no choice, just replace all the officials in the government office inside and out, and then come to help the people, isn't it? impossible.

In the past, they might have to worry about killing too many officials at once, and there would be no suitable people to fill the gaps. Now it is different, only the students from Yecheng Academy can fill most of the vacancies, plus the taxis attracted by the Academy and the library People and aristocratic families who took the initiative to vote, the eldest brother's subordinates are not worried at all that no one will be available.

The eldest brother is thoughtful and far-sighted, and he is really a role model for my generation.

Cao Cao was thinking in his heart, but it didn't show on his face at all. No one could see what he was thinking in his heart. Yuan Huan opened the box and took out the jade seal. Can tell which side is the front, let him recognize it, he really can't recognize it.

The ancient bird and insect seal script, which was often used in the southern Wuyue and Chu countries in the pre-Qin period. The so-called bird and insect seal script is naturally written in a font that looks like a bird or an insect. The mystery is exactly the same as that of the southern princes to the northern princes. Write the gestures of characters directly in the shape of birds or insects, or add the shapes of birds or insects next to the characters. People who are not specialized in this kind of fonts really can’t tell which are the gestures of characters and which are used for it. Decorative symbols.

He can tell the pros and cons from the lifelike bird head on it.

Being ordered by heaven means longevity, the emperor is the person appointed by heaven to manage the world, and the fate of the country will live long and prosperous, but a small piece of jade seal is a symbol of the orthodox throne. The generals are always thinking about this thing. Without the jade seal, they ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperor, and were even ridiculed by the people as the white version of the emperor.

However, it has been less than 500 years since the first emperor ruled the world, and the division and combination are not too many, but from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the final analysis, it is still the country of the Liu family. emperor.

Having a jade seal is icing on the cake, and it’s okay without a jade seal. After all, things are dead and people are alive. At that time, it’s better to say whoever has the biggest fist.

Yuan Huan sighed silently, closed the box and stood up, "It's not too late, Meng De will return the jade seal with me to His Majesty, the mansion has prepared a banquet for you to clean up the dust, and the banquet will be held when we come back. "

Cao Cao responded, and followed, although he felt it was a pity to send the jade seal back to the emperor, but it belonged to the emperor after all. Afraid of infamy.

Liu Xie couldn't live in Yuan Huan's mansion forever, no matter how poor he was, he was still the emperor, but the mansion originally prepared for him was useless. The little emperor had his own ideas and didn't want to be too troublesome. When he was in Chang'an, he treated Yecheng I am very yearning for the library. I can find him a house nearby, and it is also convenient for him to send someone to copy the books and show him back.

The little emperor thought very well, just for the sake of the royal family's face, even if he offered to live near the library, Yuan Huan couldn't let him do whatever he wanted.

That place is mixed with fish and dragons, unlike here, where heavy soldiers can be sent to guard. Too many soldiers guarding outside the house will easily make the nearby people uneasy, and there is no way to ensure the safety of the emperor if there are few guards.

When the little emperor was in Guanzhong, he didn't have to worry about anything, but in Yecheng, they wanted to respect the emperor to fight against the ministers. What's the matter if they don't let the emperor know before leaving the army?

Even the superficial skills have to be perfect, at least not allowing people to pick out major faults.

Gao Lan and Guo Jia quietly sent the only remaining court officials to Yecheng within two days after they went to Chang'an. With the respected Yang Biao and Taiwei Yang, it was not a problem to simply prop up the court's shell.

Of course, these people will not have real power. He has been operating in Jizhou for several years, and it is hard for the government to get on the right track. It makes no sense for the emperor to disrupt his plan when he comes.

The carriage is already waiting at the door, and there are two exquisite gilded copper stoves in the corner of the carriage. The driver will light the stoves when he receives the order. The charcoal is the usual animal gold charcoal in the house, and it burns without a trace of smoke. There is also a light pine incense, the space in the car is small, just save the space for the incense burner and put a heater.

Cao Cao followed into the carriage, looked up at Yuan Huan, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother, Guanzhong is in chaos, the emperor came to Yecheng to take refuge, Liu Biao and Liu Yan are coveting Guanzhong, and Ma Teng and Han from Xiliang So, also keep an eye on Guanzhong, and when the situation improves after a while, who will Big Brother plan to send to guard Guanzhong?"

Yuan Huan raised his eyebrows, and looked over with a half-smile, "Is Meng De planning to recommend himself, or has he already decided who to recommend?"

Cao Cao blushed, but he didn't hold back and refused to say anything, "If I want to recommend myself, would my brother be willing to appoint me?"

"Yanzhou has just settled down, and it is the time when people are needed. Only Wu Chenghou seems to be too busy, and Guanzhong is in chaos. Why does Meng De want to go to Guanzhong at this time?" Yuan Huan did not directly agree, but asked again I asked a question, Boss Cao has done a good job in Yanzhou, so he had a conflict with Wu Chenghou, right?

Cao Cao heard what he meant, and quickly waved his hands to deny, "Brother, don't think too much, Wentai and I have done a good job in Yanzhou, but the situation in Yanzhou is better than the previous two years, and Wentai alone is enough to deal with it." .”

Although he and Sun Jian had some conflicts over the matter of finding a wife and children for the New Year, those were all minor issues that would not affect their relationship.

How should I put it, he has already thought about the matter almost, it just depends on whether the elder brother agrees or not.

Cao Cao corrected his expression, and took advantage of the time before meeting the emperor to express his thoughts. It is difficult to say such things in letters, and we can only discuss them in person. Later, there will be a reception banquet, and good wine and good food will greet you He must not be in the mood to talk about business. It just so happens that there is nothing to do at the moment, so the good time can't be wasted.

He is from Chenliu, Yanzhou, and today's Yuzhou Mu Zhongyou is from Yingchuan, Yuzhou. It is indeed more appropriate for local people to quell the chaos than those who don't know anything about prefectures and counties. But after the chaos is settled, let local people govern the state and county. It is not suitable.

It has been less than half a year since King Chen's rebellion, Zhong Yuanchang has managed Yuzhou very well, and the new governor of Yuzhou, Pei Qian and Pei Wenxing, is also capable. Yuzhou and Yanzhou are adjacent, and various measures such as garrisoning land and recruiting refugees are all good. The two sides discussed it, so that Zhong Yuan would not be unaccustomed to changing from Yuzhou to Yanzhou often.

Pei Wenxing's ability is obvious to all, and no one would dare to cause chaos if he stayed in Yuzhou as the governor. After all, that guy looks weak and weak, but in fact he is a ruthless person who draws a knife when he disagrees.

I don't know what Yuan Gonggong said to him at the beginning. He looked so normal in the past, but why his methods suddenly became so hard to explain. The aristocratic family has a good face, and they must first be morally invincible when they encounter problems. Well, no matter what your morality is, if you break the law, you must be arrested. If someone stops you, you will be arrested together. The sword has no eyes. If you accidentally hurt someone, you will be unlucky and don't come to him to cry.

It is enough for him not to pursue the matter if he obstructs the government's work, so he came to the government office to argue with him, to see who has big fists, cough, no, but to see who has a sharp mouth.

In short, under Pei Wenxing's sudden toughness, many people stumbled at his hands before they realized it. Zhong Yuanchang has been approached by various in-laws in the past half a year. Everyone is relatives. If you say something serious, it won't end well, and if you say something light, it will make it difficult for the government to handle it, but it gave him a headache.

It can be seen from this that it is really inappropriate to let people from this state govern this state.

What Cao Cao said is well-founded, and his three sentences are inseparable from Zhong Yao and Pei Qian. A good example is at hand. He can't use himself as an example. The Cao family is just rich, and they are not qualified to be a family. How could so many people laugh at him as a eunuch's son when he was young.

The two scourges of the party made the relationship between the eunuch and the aristocratic family so stiff that it could not be more rigid. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a feud. Face is also excusable.

He does not admit that he is the son of an eunuch, and the family in Yanzhou is not the one who scolded him back then. He grew up in Luoyang City, and the family in Yanzhou can't reach him if they want to scold him, but what's the problem? It is a family, and if one person scolds, it means everyone scolds. It is completely justified for him not to give face to the Yanzhou family.

As a native of Yanzhou, he doesn't give face to the Yanzhou family, and Wu Chenghou is from Jiangdong, let alone give them a good face.

At that time, the [-] princes of the Kwantung Alliance, basically all the princes with some strength in the north came, and the only one from the south was Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha. Most of these princes were the prefects of a county or the minister of a country, and there were even people like Han Fu. The governor of a state, each with a high official position, sounds like a bluff, but if you look closely, you will find that only two of the eighteen princes have titles, one is Wucheng Marquis Sun Jian, and the other is Qixiang Marquis Yuan Shao.

Gaozu established two rules during the White Horse Alliance, one is "If you are not the Liu family, the king will be the king, and the world will fight against it", and the other is "If you do not have merit, the world will punish you."

You are not allowed to be a Marquis unless you have achieved military merits, otherwise everyone in the world can give their opinions. However, in recent years, there have not been so many rules. Not only relatives can be granted Marquis titles, but also close people who are valued by the emperor can be granted Marquis titles. Hou's are even rarer, and those who have won such titles are naturally not to be underestimated.

Coincidentally, Sun Wentai's Marquis Wu Cheng was acquired by virtue of his military merits, completely different from Marquis Qi Xiang, who was acquired by Yuan Shao through the favor of the Yuan family in Runan.

Besides, Yanzhou is not like Yuzhou. In Yuzhou, the real aristocratic families are everywhere. Except for the Yuan family in Runan who can overwhelm all the aristocratic families, even the Zhong family in Yingchuan must be treated with caution.

He had already made up his mind, let Zhong Yao go to Yanzhou, Yuzhou left Peiqian to take care of himself, he went to Guanzhong to quell the rebellion, three people went to three places and none of them were locals, what a good arrangement.

If the eldest brother already has someone he likes, that would be great. After he passes by, he will not interfere in internal affairs, and only focus on calming the chaos. God knows how uncomfortable it is to be dizzy with various official affairs all day long in Yanzhou, not only Cao Ren and the others If he wants to fight, Cao Mengde also wants to go to the battlefield.

How can a good man stay away from the house all the time? It's not that he's physically weak. He can do everything with both civil and military skills. If he keeps holding on, others will be overwhelmed. Anyway, the eldest brother lacks military generals, so let him go to Guanzhong to calm the chaos.

Yuan Huan was a little moved by what he said. It wasn't Cao Mengde who took the initiative to ask for Ying. He really couldn't think of doing this for a while. After thinking about it carefully, this idea is really good.

Guanzhong does not say that there are enemies on all sides, at least three sides are not very stable, and there is no way to suppress all parties. Anyone can doubt their ability, but Boss Cao cannot be doubted, "wait a few days to see the situation in Guanzhong, If there are no other changes, this matter can be considered to let Mengde go to Guanzhong."

Cao Cao immediately smiled, "Brother is the master."

It can be considered, that is to say, nine out of ten he will go to Guanzhong. Wu Chenghou runs around in Yanzhou every day. Zhong Yuanchang is different from him. It is not easy to go out without a war.

I hope Brother Wentai won’t be too sad when he finds out that Yanzhou Mu has changed. No matter what, the two of them have worked together for so long, no matter how they usually find fault, they still have a little bit of affection.

The carriage quickly stopped outside the Emperor's Palace. The plaque at the door said Taiping Palace, which meant stability and peace. Liu Xie was inexperienced in choosing names, and now he only wanted to bring peace to the world, so the palace had such a name.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. The Taiping Palace doesn't take up too much space. There are everything an emperor should have, and everything is done according to the highest standard.

The craftsmen in Yecheng have rich experience in repairing houses, especially before renovating the state pastoral mansion, they have gained a lot of knowledge through tossing and tossing, and now they are not afraid of repairing the palace for the real emperor.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and the guards saw the sign on the carriage and immediately went inside to report that Yang Biao happened to be there today, and Taiwei Yang was lecturing to the emperor. The old man, now he is holding on with one breath.

There are not many trustworthy people around His Majesty, if he falls down again, His Majesty will really become a loner, a teenager who is only in his teens, and in such a situation, what should he do if he has no one to use around him .

There was no other place for their family to go in Yecheng. Fortunately, the Yuan family boy did not restrict their movements, nor did he keep an eye on their movements like Wang Yun did. Anyway, it was better than when they were in Chang'an.

People from Guanzhong invaded Chang'an, and many officials lost their lives because of this. The imperial court was left with an empty shell. It would seem like a joke to ask them to handle the affairs of the court. It is better to cheer up and concentrate on teaching Your Majesty.

He is old, no matter how hard he can last for a few years, he should teach His Majesty something while he is still alive, and if there are any changes in the future, he will not be helpless.

After all, Yang Biao has seen a lot. He has been in the court for most of his life, and he has been in the position of Sangong for so many years. He has all the acumen. The old man seems to have noticed something. He only talked about the content in the book, and the way of being a king that was carefully taught in the past was never mentioned after he came to Yecheng.

Yuan Huan took Cao Cao all the way to the study room, and saw Yang Biao also came forward to salute with a smile. The old man was quite easy to get along with when he came to Anguo Yuan's Mansion last time. After the big change, he began to smile seriously now.

Liu Xie sat up straight, and asked them to stand up, "Yuan Qing's family hasn't come over for several days, and I was thinking of taking me to the library when Yuan Qing's family is free someday."

"The library is there and you can't run away. Your Majesty can go there whenever you want." Yuan Huan replied with a smile. They didn't come here today to tell the little emperor about the library. Send it over, "Your Majesty, let's see what this is."

Looking at the box in front of him, Liu Xie was a little curious, thinking that Yuan Huan had found some rare treasures for him and sent them over. He also thought that they were living in someone else's house, so they couldn't let Yuan Qing's family spend money, and they would have a good talk with Yuan Qing's family later. , don't give him these flashy things.

The little emperor had already prepared his belly draft, and when he opened the box and saw the contents inside, his mind went blank for an instant, "Chuan Guo Yuxi?!"

Yang Biao was sitting next to him, and when he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his beard was pulled off, "Chuan Guo Yuxi?!"
