Chapter 287

"Feng Xiao stays here, everyone else should step down! Yuwen Chengdu, you have full power to deal with the matter of the Fan clan's iron cavalry. If they don't want to establish friendship with us, they can kill them directly and don't need to report to me."

Han Wu waved his hand, and said one last sentence, signaling all civil servants and soldiers to retreat.

Everyone left the Hexiang Bieyuan, Han Wu coughed lightly and let Hua Mulan come out from behind the screen.

There were a lot of people just now, as an inner room, it was not suitable for Hua Mulan to appear in front of everyone.

After all, she is not dressed in military uniform and cannot participate in political discussions.

Han Wu glanced at Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, you seem to have something to say. Between you and me, sometimes you don't need to put on an air of authority, just speak up if you have something to say!"

Han Wu showed a very natural expression, but Guo Jia knew it well.

The lord allows himself to say what he wants to say. This is just what the lord wants to hear his own thoughts, not really wanting to pour out his heart and soul.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, although the lord is not really ready to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him now, but it also shows that he has a very important position in the lord's heart.

Guo Jia bowed and saluted, not daring to be careless, and said, "My lord, you have started to use Sima Lang and Sima Fu more during this time. The Sima family has gradually become a famous family near Yecheng."

"After all, the Sima family is from Sima Fang's family background. You are using Sima Fang's reputation to govern the family."

"But Sima Fang and Sima Yi are now in Xichuan, so it's hard for us to guarantee that they won't contact Sima Lang, after all..."

Guo Jia only spoke half of what he said, he knew that the Lord must know what he was going to say next.

Han Wu looked at Guo Jia quietly, and when he heard that he stopped talking, he said, "Come here, a maid, show Feng Xiao a seat."

With a wave of his hand, Han Wu asked the maid standing at the door to move a chair and put it behind Guo Jia.

Seeing the lord's behavior, Guo Jia became even more puzzled.

The lord has changed a lot during this time, which already made Guo Jia feel a little unpredictable.

After Han Wu saw Guo Jia sitting down carefully and slowly, he peeled an orange by himself and broke open half of it.

Raising his hand, he threw the other half to Guo Jia, and Han Wu put half of the orange into his mouth in one gulp.

Guo Jia got up quickly, took half of the orange in fear and trepidation, and held it in the palm of his hand.

"Eat it! It's for you." Han Wu said with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord, for the gift of kumquats!" Guo Jia hurriedly bowed and tasted each petal.

very sweet!

Han Wu took a deep breath and said, "It's really flattering to return kumquats! Although it's sweet, how come kumquats with green skin? This is an orange from Jiangdong, sweet and delicious."

"Oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges. It takes a lot of trouble to send oranges from Huainan to northern Hebei."

"But I can still eat these oranges, what does this represent, let Feng Xiao tell you."

Seeing the lord looking at him with sharp eyes, Guo Jia swallowed.

"Speak! What are you afraid of? I left you here alone because I want you to dare to say what you usually dare not say."

Han Wu picked up the fruit plate and handed it to the maid beside him.

"Give these to Feng Xiao, let him go back and taste them slowly, it's very sweet and delicious!"

The maid hurriedly took the fruit plate and placed it in front of Guo Jia with both hands.

Guo Jiacheng was terrified, stood up again, and put all the oranges in the fruit plate into his arms.

Guo Jia took a deep breath, sat down slowly, and said, "Master, these oranges are obviously grown in Jiangdong, you..."

"My lord means that you can control the situation in Jiangdong, so naturally you will not be afraid of the gradual growth of the Sima family. Even if Cao Cao will use Sima Yi and Sima Fang as sharp blades, you will not be afraid at all!"

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Han Wu smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction.

"You are right, the Sima family is not enough to threaten me."

"If you want to talk about someone who can scare me, you should know someone. Sima Bada, I just don't want Sima Yi. Don't you think it's strange that I'm calculating like a woman?"

"Sima Yi, why I don't want this person, it's not because he's not talented. It's because he's too talented and ambitious! I, Han Pengju, can't suppress him, so I don't use it."

He spoke very naturally, but the lord's such natural words made Guo Jia wipe off a cold sweat.

The person who can make the protagonist admit that he can't be suppressed, Guo Jia asked himself, maybe he can only suppress him.

Guo Jia swallowed, and said: "My lord, I have never met Sima Yi. But Sima Lang and Sima Fu, their talents... are not because of my arrogance, Sima Fu and Sima Lang, even if I give them In 20 years, I can't compare to Chen Qunman's favor."

Han Wu nodded slightly, agreeing with Guo Jia's words.

"That's right, now you know what I think? I told you that Sima Yi can make me feel threatened. As my military adviser, Feng Xiao should know it well."

"Go back and eat oranges! I heard that you always go to brothels and brothels. I usually pay more attention to this, so I don't get tired."

"You are already this old, and you don't have any heirs yet. I'll ask the doctor to show you after a while."

Han Wu waved his hand, telling Guo Jia to leave quickly.

Guo Jia's cheeks flushed, and he wanted to exchange some polite words at first, but after thinking about it, he quickly backed away with a smile.

The main hall of Hexiang Bieyuan became empty again.

"It is said that Dong Cao is full of favors, come and see me."

He yelled at the door, and when the bloodthirsty tiger guard's guard heard it, he immediately ran out and called Man Chong alone.

In less than a cup of tea, Man Chong hurried over, panting.

"Chendong Cao is full of favors, and I pay my respects to the lord!"

Man Chong knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to meet Han Wu.

For the lord, full favor is gratitude from the heart, and it is the grace of knowing you!
Although Dong Cao's official position is not high, the salary in Jizhou is not low.

The most important thing is that the lord personally gave him the great right to supervise all officials in Jizhou.

Han Wu smiled slightly and said, "Man Chong, during this period of time, we will start to thoroughly investigate those aristocratic families, starting with the Sima family."

"I don't want to see blood, but I don't want to make these aristocratic families feel comfortable. There are a lot of vacant rooms in the prison during this time, so you can find a way to fill them."

After Man Chong heard the lord's words, he was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.

"Report to my lord, my minister... please tell me clearly, my lord!"

Although Man Chong had some guesses, he still wanted to ask clearly.

Han Wu frowned slightly, raised his legs and said, "Man Chong, weren't you a cruel official before? I need to teach you this kind of thing personally?"

"It won't take long for me to mobilize troops, so I don't want these great families to be a worry! You understand what I mean, right?"

"Except for the Zhen family, all the other families will clean up for me. Except for my father's Liu family, don't make any big moves. For the other aristocratic families, start by thoroughly investigating the corruption and bribery of officials."

"If there is really someone who is corrupt and accepts bribes, it will be dealt with as usual, and if it is serious, it will be beheaded directly. I don't worry if you do things, go down!"

After hearing the lord's words, Man Chong immediately accepted the order, but broke into a cold sweat.

The lord wants to move the officials of the aristocratic family in Jizhou. It seems that this is to rectify the official style.
