Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Jia Xu:"……"

Zhuge Liang: "I don't have a mouth, master taught me how to say it!"

I don't believe it anymore, can you stop bragging?

I know you can solve it, and just now I specially cooperated with you emotionally, but I really didn't expect it to be so simple!

Can this really be persuaded to come back?

Who knew about this, and it wasn't that he was furious. This time, he could almost take advantage of the anger and reason, and directly bloodbath the court, knocking down all those who had disagreements.

In this way, the Cao family will be completely stable, hold the emperor tightly in their hands, and wait until next year to continue to invade Jizhou and disrupt Yuan Shao's territory, and there will be no rivals in the world.

Xu Zhen's expression turned solemn with his hands behind his back, because they had already walked into the prime minister's residence.

Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang were also quietly waiting to see what Xu Zhen would say to calm down Cao Cao's anger.

easier said than done...

……

"Humph!"

Cao Cao slapped on the copy suddenly, but soon fell into deep thought.

At this time Xun You and Guo Jia were both present.

Xun You's face was still calm, because he was sure that no one in his family would write such a letter. In fact, there were some people in the family who were officials under Yuan Shao's command. If Cao Cao defeated them, they could still be saved.

At least one person can think of a way to speak up, so there is no need to do such risky actions. Only the officials of today's public officials will feel sorry for them. They were not so outstanding when they were under Cao Cao's command. Definitely find a way to find a way out.

"I'm afraid it is. When Yuan Shao received these letters, he also felt that he must win."

Guo Jia picked up a few volumes, but hadn't opened them yet.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy. After reading the box of letters, his cheeks kept puffing up. Then he simply turned his back on the crowd and went to the window to stand with his hands behind his back. He didn't know what was going on in his heart.

Perhaps dejected?
The advisers present looked at each other, and they could roughly feel Cao Cao's thoughts. This was indeed a bit chilling. In Xudu, it was Cao Cao who welcomed the emperor, but Yuan Shao didn't express it at all.

He sent Yan Liang to lead the troops to meet him, but he didn't arrive after three months of walking for six hundred miles, so his intentions were self-evident.

After Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xudu, he treated him sincerely, wrote a letter to express his feelings, and frankly stated the gains from various places, but Dong Cheng and others have always been on the sidelines with the villain's heart to regain the leadership.

It was only later that the big cleansing in Xudu broke out.

To this day, these people are still secretly communicating with Yuan Shao and sending the letter to Yecheng. Doesn't this mean that Cao Cao is sure to be defeated?

"My lord, I suggest that you arrest people by name and execute them in the school office, so as to deter those who do not go against the law."

Guo Jia took a deep breath, stepped forward and bowed.

It was because he understood what Cao Cao was doing that Guo Jia would accompany Cao Cao to have long conversations late at night and fall asleep on his feet when he used troops abroad.

The relationship between the two is not like that of ordinary ministers, and they can be regarded as very close personal friends, so many intimate words are said on the bed.

Of course, this does not mean that the two have any special feelings, they are simply close friends, and Guo Jia is still only at odds with wine.

So he can better understand the anger in Cao Cao's heart at this moment.

This group of ministers of the Han Dynasty are really unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!I'm afraid that even now they are still holding on to the phrase "the eunuch's shame" and refuse to let it go. Even if they are incapable of saving the world, they still bark their condolences every day, and now they write letters to Yecheng like begging and flattering!

When Xun You heard Guo Jia's words, in order to show that the Xun family was not included in the list and was innocent, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "The Prime Minister really should be punished."

"We should take this opportunity to clear up the injustices in the court, thinking that next year the world will be cleared and it will be more stable."

"I think," Xu Zhen looked around, and said, "My lord, it's better not to look at it."

"why?"

Cao Cao turned around in surprise, stared at Xu Zhen after a moment of surprise, and then suddenly calmed down.

"For this kind of thing, my lord and I still have to divide our troops to gamble! Only then can we design countless wins, let alone these stupid old officials of the Han Dynasty?"

"Haha!" Cao Cao immediately glanced approvingly, "It makes sense, it's exactly what I want."

"No, it's boring to watch."

Cao Cao felt a little relaxed with his hands behind his back, looked at Xu Zhen a few more times, and couldn't help laughing, "Oh, it's still Bowen who knows what I want."

"Bloodwashing the court will ruin your reputation."

"But if they are pardoned, these people will not only be grateful, but will work harder for me in the future, and will also owe favors because of the amnesty. In the future, they will never have any objections in the court."

"Furthermore, Yuan Shao is now defeated like a mountain, and at most he can survive this year. Next year, he will take the land of Hebei and Qingzhou and force him into Youzhou."

"Youzhou is in chaos and has never been settled. Once Yuan Shao arrives in Youzhou, he will be exhausted. He doesn't know how long it will take to calm down the chaos."

Cao Cao chuckled, his face suddenly relaxed, and he said to Guo Jia with his hands behind his back: "I know that being filial piety is unfair to me, but sometimes, a generous pardon is the heroic demeanor! letters!"

"Burn it."

He patted his shoulder with a smile.

At this time, he was very arrogant, Xu Zhen touched his chin and said: "We will spread the word, and people may not believe it. Of course, seeing is believing for such a life-threatening event."

"I think it's best. Go to the place where Dong Cheng was killed and burn it in front of all the officials. Scare them first."

"What if a few loyal people who scold the prime minister are frightened, and then the pardon is burned, the scene will probably be pretty good."

"Why are you so poisonous now!?"

Cao Cao suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Zhen with a troubled look on his face, and then subconsciously turned to look at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was stunned on the spot.

It doesn't matter to me, it really doesn't matter.

Junhou's words!Enlightenment!They are still needed in the court, they will be in chaos in a short time if they are killed, and they have to find people everywhere to become officials, it is better to amnesty!This can still make them feel grateful, and they will never dare to do this in the future!
Zhuge Liang immediately leaned back, and it really was this sentence!

He vaguely guessed that Junhou should persuade him this way, but in his opinion, at least it should be Chen Zhi speaking from the bottom of his heart with his interests.

Master, you are good or bad, I really like it.

He also understands that this master may really have little affection for the gentry, and may even be a little disgusted.

"However, this statement is reasonable!" Cao Cao stretched out his hand and patted Xu Zhen on the shoulder, changed his words to praise, and then turned to Xun You and said, "Please trouble Gongda, summon all civil and military officials to gather in the square in front of His Majesty's hall overnight!"

"Here, let's go here."

……

Half an hour later, the civil and military officials were called to the square under the Grand Palace of the Imperial City, and stood in rows on both sides.

And these people are all invited by the school in person, and their words are not polite when they are invited.

Most people naturally don't know what happened, and of course some smart people have already guessed it.

So many people stood tremblingly under the square at the moment, their faces were very ugly, and after spreading the word, fear spread to the surroundings like a tide, and whispers spread out immediately.

It is true that among the people standing in the forefront, there are also people of the three lords and nine ministers. Sima Fang and Yang Biao are impressively in the row, and Yang Xiu is standing in the row of the subordinates of the prime minister's mansion, looking around, and some can't believe it Looking at Xu Zhen on the stairs.

Is it useless?Can't even persuade the king?Is this already a killing spree?
How to do?
What should I do now?
Yang Xiu muttered in his heart, the back of his clothes was already soaked with sweat, but now he didn't dare to make any changes at all, because Xu Zhen said that even if he failed, he would not be implicated.

He didn't dare to say too much, if there was a change at this time, he might not be able to save his father, and even himself would get involved, then the Yang family would really be gone.

Junhou really, can't help?

"Everyone."

Cao Cao was standing on the high platform with his hands behind his back. Naturally, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie was also trembling on the luxurious couch.

The last time this happened, he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

Concubine Dong was killed, including the child in her belly. Dong Cheng was killed on the steps, and Cao Cao caught many Hanchens.

Today's scene is no exception.

"Prime Minister, what are you going to do..." Liu Xie's complexion turned pale, and he glanced at Xu Zhen with lingering fear, with mixed feelings again.

This Xu Bowen, who has never been wooed, can still stand beside Cao Cao as firmly as Mount Tai this time.

"Oh? Your Majesty doesn't know what to do? Then wait and see."

The corners of Cao Cao's lips turned upwards, and while all the officials were quiet, he stood on a high place to enjoy the scene. It was exactly as Xu Zhen said, and it had a special flavor. It was really interesting to scare these people.

"I came back from Jizhou this time. When I was in Powei County, I got a box full of letters, which are letters written by you to Jizhou."

"There are so many beautiful things in eyes, there are a hundred volumes!"

"Ah... this, this..."

"God, I haven't written it, so it won't be implicated?"

"It should have been forged and conspired! It must be! It must be, it must be...someone secretly forged the handwriting!"

"We are all Hanchen, and we will never do such a thing!"

Yang Xiu listened to the words of the old ministers on the left who were in the Han Dynasty, weeping, trembling, and feeling even more desperate.

It’s over.

The Yang family is over, and so are the nobles and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. From then on, there will be no more rivalry between the nobles, and Cao Cao can really control the court.

Don't talk about fighting for the long-term... Even the present is beyond the reach.

"It's over..."

Yang Xiu looked at his father Yang Biao in despair, and Yang Taiwei, who was standing in the front, also turned his head suddenly, looking at his son with regret, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Xiu'er...I hurt you."

"The Prime Minister is clearly investigating! This must be framed by someone!"

Cao Cao enjoyed the wailing and begging for mercy of these people, but the indomitable and noble nobles also felt guilty and blushed, and many who were unwilling to accept it also looked at each other.

There are all kinds of people in the world. Of course, Yang Biao looked at his son, and Cao Cao also had a panoramic view, and he only felt that it was wonderful.

A smile suddenly appeared on his stern face, and he burst out laughing, "Haha! Hahaha!"

"Everyone, you don't need to tell me to see clearly."

Cao Cao's smile made many people feel that the matter was not simple, so they all turned their eyes to him curiously.

"I haven't seen it at all," Cao Cao looked back at Xu Zhen, raised his brows incidentally, and then turned back and said loudly: "Before the war, I still couldn't protect myself! There will be no eggs under the nest, you should take care of it." It’s also a fate! I hope the family is safe! It’s not a crime.”

"This box of letters was burned on the spot, and this matter is not allowed to be mentioned again. I hope that you will do your best to help the great man prosper!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he quickly took the torch from the guard at the side. Someone poured oil into the box, and he threw the torch into it.

With a puff, the flames spread, and soon became a fire as high as a person. Black smoke fluttered, and all the letters were burned.

Seeing this scene, both Yang Xiu and Yang Biao stared at each other, and heaved a sigh of relief. Many people's legs gave way and almost fell to the ground.

At this time, whoever said "benevolence and righteousness" actually attracted many officials to nod their heads in agreement, "Prime Minister benevolence and righteousness!"

"The prime minister is so fair, how can the court be unclear!"

"Under the prime minister's clear observation, he will never give the thieves any chance!"

"Benevolence and domineering, Wenzhi and martial arts are all admirable."

"This move can make us admire and be dazzled!"

Xu Zhen and Cao Cao looked at each other with wry smiles, and Cao Cao shook his head.

Xu Zhen understood the meaning of this shaking of the head. This human nature is also strange. After killing a whole life, he can shout out benevolence and justice once in a while, as if he saved a life.

Some people pursue benevolence and righteousness all their lives, and when they get old, they are a little harsh and vicious, and they are called "hypocrites".

The same is true for the story of Doumi Ensheng Mi Qiu, something that cannot be studied at this time.

But with this move, the emperor who was sitting on the luxurious couch felt a lot more relaxed. He leaned on his back and slipped unconsciously, almost falling to the ground.

He thought that today he would see blood flow into rivers again.

……

"Xiu! Thank you for your words!"

"Your Majesty takes this as an advice! Let the lord pardon all the sinners, and a superman of wisdom will come to this world like a fairy! Cultivation in this life will definitely reward you!"

"Ouch, keep your voice down," Xu Zhen waved his hand, and if someone overheard him speaking so loudly, it would be leaked, "Oh, as long as you can help."

"Ah," at this time, Zhuge Liang, who was dressed in a black robe beside him, said bitterly, "Your Majesty can hardly protect himself, so he went to save others."

"Master, please take care of yourself... Liang really doesn't know... Sigh!! Some words have been in my heart for a long time, but I don't know how to say them."

"What's the matter, Junhou?" Yang Xiu got up immediately, looking at Xu Zhen with burning eyes, "Why do you say that you can't protect yourself?"

"No need to say no need to say."

Xu Zhen quickly waved his hand and stopped Zhuge Liang.

When Yang Xiu saw this, he immediately grabbed the hem of his robe, moved forward, bent his knees and knelt down, and said loudly: "Please tell me clearly, if Xiu can help, I will spare no effort and go through fire and water!"

"Master Yang," Zhuge Liang clasped his hands with a feather fan, and said with a smile on his face, "My lord and Mr. Xun Ling asked you to reopen the Yuedan review."

"This matter, in fact, it is not convenient for Junhou to preside over this matter. After all, it is not convenient... Junhou himself is born in Baiding. If he recommends countless poor scholars, he will inevitably be criticized and doubt justice. This will ruin his reputation. matter."

"I'll go! I can go! Lord, leave this matter to me!" Yang Xiu immediately said eagerly: "In the next month, there will be many pointers from the Lord, and the teaching of Lord Xun Ling. There are countless books in the family. The eloquence is as good as that of ordinary smart people! You must be well-prepared and competent for this task!"

"Furthermore, Junhou once said that if the Yang family escaped this catastrophe, it must be dedicated to the Cao family in order to be truly preserved. I am willing to use the name of the Yang family's hairpin tassel! Recommend the world's talents for the prime minister!"

"Okay, then please Dezu."

Xu Zhen nodded in satisfaction.

Yang Xiu: "???"

Eh? !No more excuses?

I feel that there is something wrong, didn't I have to reject it a few times first, I insisted on it all the time, and then I had no choice but to give me this job?
