In the first month of the third year of Taiping, the emperor held a banquet with his ministers and announced three major events at the same time. First, the emperor has a son, and the issue of heirs that has been unresolved no longer becomes a problem. Second, in order to revitalize the Han Dynasty, the emperor wanted to discuss major plans with the world's virtuous people, so he recruited virtuous and talented people from all over the country to join the court to discuss politics. Those who traveled far away or were physically inconvenient could also submit memorials in the form of memorials. Don't waste words because of others, don't waste people because of words, but those who can adopt a few words will be rewarded. Even if he is biased, he will not be punished with words. At this meeting, the emperor is not the final decision-maker. He will form a jury headed by three auxiliary ministers and a number of knowledgeable and capable ministers to summarize and evaluate the suggestions from all parties and gather their best. Third, the emperor will personally conquer Shandong and put down the Yuan family's rebellion. Before leaving the army, rebels from various places who confessed to the court could be given a lighter punishment, but those who resisted stubbornly and harbored illusions would be severely punished. These three things immediately set off a storm among the courtiers, and then they were sent in the form of edicts to all states and counties across the country, spreading the shock to the first corner of the empire. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in Luoyang city, and people rushed to tell each other. The steady people were still trying to figure out the holy intention, while the impatient people had already begun to lay out ink and paper, writing hurriedly, hoping to stand out in this conference. Guo Jia rushed into Cao Cao's inner room, grabbed Cao Cao who was talking to Ding, and dragged him away. Cao Cao was dragged out of the inner room without even putting on his shoes. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Fengxiao, wait, wait." Cao Cao shouted while struggling. He didn't want to be dragged out by Guo Jia like this. It's too embarrassing. "General, the situation is urgent and we cannot wait. Shu Jia is being rude." Guo Jia dragged Cao Cao to the lobby in one breath and then let go of Cao Cao. While Cao Cao was hurriedly adjusting the clothes that Guo Jia had loosened, he smiled bitterly and said: "Fengxiao, what happened, you are so rude? Is there something that you can't talk about in the room? Madam is not an outsider." "This. You must avoid Madam." Guo Jia lowered his voice. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao took it suspiciously. Without reading the content, I took a look at Guo Jia's face first. Guo Jia just ran too fast and used too much force, and his pale face was a little flushed. But what made Cao Cao even more frightened was the look in his eyes. Guo Jia's eyes were a little flustered and a little excited. Cao Cao was puzzled, but he didn¡¯t ask any more questions. He knew that something that could make Guo Jia lose his composure must be a big deal. What was copied on the paper was a imperial edict, which contained not much, namely three things. But any one of these three things is enough to attract attention, let alone three things released at the same time. After reading it, Cao Cao understood why Guo Jia said this matter must be hidden from Mrs. Ding. The emperor Liu Bian returned from Danhan Mountain, and with the power of thunder, he was about to sweep the country. With his strength. Even if the world cannot be completely pacified in a short period of time, defeating the Yuan brothers on the frontal battlefield is expected. He is caught between the Yuan brothers and is responsible for blocking the relationship between the two Yuan brothers. Both Yuan Shao and Liu Bian will focus their attention here, forcing him to make an immediate decision. Continue to support Yuan Shao or turn to the imperial court? For Cao Cao, this is not a problem. The result is conceivable. The trouble lies only in the details, and Yuan Shao cannot know his thoughts. Bite him first. Yuan Shao couldn't deal with Liu Bian, but it was very easy to deal with him. ?That¡¯s why. It is very important not to let Mrs. Ding know. Ding Chong died in the hands of the imperial court. If he wanted to defect to the imperial court, there was no guarantee that Mrs. Ding would have any ideas. Maybe she didn't mean it, but with her impulsive and stubborn character, as long as she did something out of the ordinary, An Chun, who was arranged by Yuan Shao here, would know about it and attract Yuan Shao's attention. "Fengxiao, what should I do?" Guo Jia stared into Cao Cao's eyes: "General, do you think Yuan Shao has a chance to win?" Cao Cao shook his head repeatedly. What a joke, when Liu Bian was away, Yuan Shao had no chance. Now that Liu Bian is back, he doesn't have the slightest chance. Unless Liu Bian suddenly dies suddenly, then Yuan Shao still has some hope. But seeing that Liu Bian had just given birth to a son, at a time when his vitality was strong, he didn't look like someone who would die suddenly. "What about the general himself? Is it possible to take advantage of the chaos and separatist power?" Cao Cao curled his lips and said with a wry smile: "I am at best a general in one area, competing in the world, which is more than I dare to hope for." "In that case, what else can I do? Why are you so hesitant?" Guo Jiayi clapped his hands. "The top priority is to contact the imperial court, Tao Qian, and Kong Rong immediately to avoid being attacked by the Yuan brothers and overthrowing the nest." Cao Cao nodded, and then said worriedly: "Fengxiao, what will you do? What if you are captured by the emperor? I know you" Guo Jia smiled. "What do I have to worry about? The Emperor can even forgive his opponents like Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, so how can I be in his eyes? General, don't worry, you don't have to worry."? Worry. The most important thing now is to let the emperor see your ability. " Cao Cao stared at Guo Jia for a while and said worriedly: "If this is the case, of course it is best. " Cao Cao immediately invited Mao Jie, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and others to discuss. After reading the copied edict, Mao Jie and others were also shocked. These three things in the edict were really shocking, not only related to Cao Cao's future is closely related to each of them. After all, they are not alone, and they all have their own families. If Cao Cao becomes a traitor, they will be left idle, and the whole family will be affected. It is not an ordinary crime. It is difficult to eliminate such an influence without a few generations. Looking at the faces of these people, Cao Cao immediately knew that he had little choice. He said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, you have met the emperor before. Face, I would like to trouble you this time and go to Luoyang again. "Cheng Yu bowed to accept the order. Cao Cao turned around and said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, you are close to Chen Deng and his son, so I'll trouble you to go to Guangling. " Chen Gong stood up and bowed deeply. "Here. " Cao Cao patted his hands, stood up, and looked coldly. From now on, all the armies will prepare for war, strictly guard their jurisdictions, and prepare for battle at any time without any mistakes. " "Here!" Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan and others stood up and responded suddenly. . Everyone dispersed, leaving only Guo Jia behind. "Fengxiao, spring is here, it's time for my dragon to come out and move around." Guo Jia stroked the hilt of Qingzhi's sword and nodded with a smile. ?¡ ?Beihai County. Tai Shici hurriedly walked into the lobby and saluted Kong Rong with clasped fists. During the Chinese New Year, he was having a banquet with relatives and friends at home when he was suddenly called by Kong Rong. He was very surprised. I originally thought that the lively Kong Rong wanted to treat a guest, so I asked him to come and make arrangements. Who knew that when I went to the prefect's mansion, I saw that the mansion was heavily guarded and there was no sign of a treat at all. "Ziyi, our persistence has paid off." Kong Rong handed an edict to Taishi Ci. "Your opportunity has also come." Taishi Ci was stunned, quickly took the edict, read it once, and immediately held his breath. Kong Rong was right, their persistence bore fruit, and his opportunity also came. The emperor wanted to conquer Yuan Shao himself, and he could finally show off his talents. "The imperial court recruits virtuous people from all over the country to join the government to discuss politics, and I am going to rush there to join in the fun. The safety of Beihai will be entrusted to you. Ziyi, when the opportunity comes, you must seize it, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life." Taishi Ci was excited. Had to burst into tears. Kong Rong was the governor of Beihai County and had stayed here for many years. It was when he was performing meritorious service, but he rushed to Luoyang. It seemed that he was participating in political discussions, but in fact, he was giving the opportunity to perform meritorious service to Taishi Ci. If Kong Rong doesn't leave, even if he sits in the prefect's mansion and doesn't go out, the court will credit Kong Rong for Beihai County's achievements in the future, and he, Tai Shici, will be ranked behind him. Now that Kong Rong has left, he has become the first person in charge and will be the first to contribute in the future. "Thank you for your support, Mr. Ci. I will personally escort Mr. Fu out of the city." "No need, I have nothing, but I have a bad reputation. Guan Hai and the others will not hurt me, but will entertain me attentively. Just keep your mind and guard the city. Yuan Shao jumped over the wall, God knows what he will do. Be careful." Kong Rong laughed and said, "You don't have to thank me. I went to Luoyang because there is something more suitable for me in Luoyang, and it is safer and most suitable for me. Such a scholar." Tai Shici smiled while wiping his tears. He knew that Kong Rong just wanted to comfort him and didn't want him to have a psychological burden. Kong Rong immediately summoned the officials of the Taishou Mansion and announced an edict stating that he would go to Beijing to discuss government affairs. The defense of Beihai County would be handled by Tai Shici, the commander-in-chief of the county, and he would also act as an agent for the Taishou's related affairs. He solemnly explained the aspirations of the emperor's personal expedition, and hoped that all families and tribes in Beihai County would understand the situation and not make wrong choices. ?????????????????????????????????????????????Everyone was shocked and did not dare to disobey the order, and responded continuously. Soon, Kong Rong handed over the seal to Taishi Ci and rode a carriage out of the city. A few miles out of the city, a disheveled young man with wine stains all over his body stood in the middle of the road with his arms akimbo. He stopped Kong Rong's carriage and laughed loudly: "Kong Wenju, do you want to be a fugitive?" He opened the car and cursed with a smile: "Shuzi, I knew you wouldn't give up such a good opportunity. Get in the car quickly, let's go to Luoyang and have a good time." The young man laughed loudly, climbed into the car, stretched out his two smelly The coaxing feet almost touched Kong Rong's arms. He held his head and leaned against the car wall, overjoyed. "When I think of scolding the people of the world, or in front of the emperor, I, Ni Heng, feel itchy in my heart. I wish I could grow wings and fly to Luoyang. Hey, I said, do you have wine? It's so happy. "Well, there's no wine, it's so disappointing." Kong Rong took out two wine glasses and a pot of wine from the small cabinet on the side, and pointed it at you.??It's bright. "How can I live without wine when I'm with a wonderful person like you? Come on, get drunk before you stop. However, don't blame me for not predicting what I said. Everyone can scold me, but you, the emperor, can't scold you." Mi Heng took the wine pot and said, He unscrewed the stopper, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and then squinted his eyes and said, "Why, if you don't scold the emperor when you get to Luoyang, what else are you going to do?" Kong Rong chuckled: "I'm afraid you will humiliate yourself. He was such a cruel person that he made Yuan Wei vomit blood." Mi Heng was stunned, became more energetic, and slapped his thigh hard. "Such an opponent is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, how can you miss it?" b?
