Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 464 Cao Cao used his 'big killer'

"Brother-in-law, Father is here." Cao Pi lowered his head as if he lacked confidence.

Zhang Wu glared at Lu Bu and stopped talking to him.

He hated the iron but couldn't make it and asked Cao Pi: "Did you do something wrong?"

"No ah."

"Then what are you doing with your head down? Stand up straight! You are a meritorious general of Cao Wei, it doesn't matter whose son you are. You stand here only to represent the Yunhui camp! You represent the brothers Paoze who sacrificed their lives in Jingbei!"

Following Zhang Wu's scolding, Cao Pi subconsciously stood up straight and looked at Cao Cao with some dodge.

Cao Cao stepped forward and glared at Zhang Wu.

The latter quickly put on a smile: "Hey, hey, father-in-law."

"Gu saw that you had a lot of backbone when you instigated Zihuan. What did you say? "You stand here only to represent Yunhui"? Gu thought, you are the commander-in-chief of Yunhui. What? You don't intend to give it to Zihuan. Huan set an example?"

"Hey~ Didn't I just say it casually? My father-in-law can just treat me as a minor."

"Bah, you are a mature person, you have the nerve to say anything about being young and unreliable, just step aside."

All the generals laughed.

You said that Zhang Wu is not stingy and does his best, right? This guy's flattering and smiling face is unparalleled in the world, and even the Shichang Shifusheng can't match it. He doesn't have the character of a general who is victorious in every battle.

Do you think this is a traitor and a misguided person? Since ancient times, no one who relies on flattery to deceive his master has been able to conquer half of the country.

It's really a strange story in the world.

After sending Zhang Wu away, Cao Cao looked seriously at the armored second son in front of him.

Cao Pi was, comparatively speaking, the most naughty and mischievous of his descendants.

But Cao Cao's feelings for him were no less than those of other children.

But how can a monarch and an emperor be compared to a loving father in Guizhou?

He owns most of the country and is rich in nine states, but he cannot show any joy and preference for his son.

The heir apparent has been established, and if others see that Cao Cao prefers his second son to his younger son, they don't know how many changes will occur in the city of Ye.

This kind of indifference, for Cao Pi and even Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, is not a form of protection.

On that day when Cao Pi conquered twelve cities in one night, Boss Cao also stayed up all night.

His own skinny monkey has become successful, and the pride in his heart is no less than that of an ordinary father!

Fortunately, he still has a brother-in-law who protects him. A big brother who was unsuspecting of him.

This is what makes Cao Cao most gratified.

As a qualified monarch, he gave up the possibility of becoming a loving father. The emperor was destined to be lonely. But deep down in his heart, Cao Cao still hoped for family harmony and brotherly love.

Fortunately, everything is developing in the direction he expected.

When he really delegates power one day, he also hopes to see Cao Pi enter Yunxiao Pavilion! Unfortunately, the person who achieves the glory of his son is destined not to be himself.

After reaching out to straighten the double swords at Cao Pi's waist, Cao Cao gently patted his shoulder.

He said in a voice that only two people could check: "Zihuan. Not bad."

Then he turned decisively and said loudly: "Cao Pi's battle and plan are acceptable. Since the general is the guarantor, he will temporarily take over the position of general Fenwei. I hope you will fulfill your duties and not slack off. If you make a small mistake, you will be dismissed from office and severely punished! Do you hear me clearly? ?”

Cao Pi came out with red eyes. This was the first time in his life that he was recognized by Cao Cao, and he had mixed emotions of joy, sadness and sorrow.

Kneeling on one knee, clasping his fists with both hands: "I will understand!" Cao Cao seemed to have thought of something, and said something inconsistent with the preface and the last sentence: "The name of Chen's Junjie is Qun. He has recently compiled some kind of nine-level Zhongzheng system. I am very happy. There are many supporters, so you might as well get to know them if you have time.”

Zhang Wu understood instantly.

Cao Cao definitely didn't say this to Cao Pi. A small general named Fenwei, just a miscellaneous general, what kind of politics does he need to be exposed to?

Then you can only say it to yourself.

The purpose of deliberately pointing it out at this time is naturally not to let a martial artist understand politics.

The nine-rank Zhongzheng system was an important official selection system in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in history.

It evolved from the inspection and examination system of the Han Dynasty.

The sentence that impressed Zhang Wu most deeply was "There are no poor families in the upper class, and there are no noble families in the lower class."

Its highest priority service targets are not emperors and monarchs, but noble families.

A century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family.

In history, the Northern and Southern Dynasties lasted for more than four hundred years, and the last one to become the most powerful was the Guanlong Group. This is already very illustrative.

The Sui Dynasty destroyed the Tang Dynasty and established a queen.

Xue Yuanchao, Prime Minister of Emperor Gaozong, said: "I am not talented, and I am too rich and noble. However, I have three hatreds in my life: I am not promoted as a Jinshi at first, I am not allowed to marry a girl with the fifth surname, and I am not allowed to write the history of the country."

You know, Xue Yuanchao's wife is Taizong's niece.

The prime minister of a dynasty, the first and most important minister of a country, he wished he could marry a girl with the fifth surname, where would he leave the Li family? Where will the dynasty's hegemony end?

It can be seen from this. The nine-level Zhongzheng system, and even the five surnames and seven looks that evolved from four hundred years of turmoil, are the pinnacle of the clan.

Compared with that, the Han Dynasty families were considered docile.

Every talented and ambitious monarch would probably find it difficult to tolerate the implementation of this system of carving up imperial power under his own nose.

Cao Cao is naturally no exception.

The world has not yet been completely settled, and some people are already eager to jump out to share the profits. Naturally, he does not mind using the sharpest knife in his hand.

Normally, Cao Cao did not dare to be too harsh when attacking the noble family.

At most, it's just pulling one family to beat another.

A very simple question, the civil and military men under his command are the future aristocratic families.

Strategies that are beneficial to aristocratic families are also beneficial to them.

If the suppression is too severe, it will be tantamount to committing public outrage.

But after Zhang Wu, the situation was completely different.

Looking at the world, the person with the most food and the most prestigious reputation is Zhang Wu. It can be said that what the aristocratic family lacks most is nothing more than a prosperous population.

And with the grand prestige in the military, at least the foundation can be kept intact.

The most important thing is that Zhang Wu is Cao Cao's son-in-law and die-hard loyalist. The honor and disgrace of the two families have long been bound.

If there is only one person in the world that Cao Cao can completely trust, that person can only be named Zhang!

A country's military should serve politics first.

Fortunately, the military leader serves only one political target, and that person happens to be Cao Cao!

This feels great.

At the very least, when he expresses his ambitions, there will be no so-called "righteous" ministers who will speak out and dare to admonish him.

At least Wei's take-off won't start to fester from within!

Poor Chen Qun didn't know that the political system that seemed to him to be quite good actually aroused such resentment from the top brass that he resorted to a "big killing weapon".
