All the officials and ministers paid attention to him.
What the Son of Heaven desires.
The three of them rushed towards Xiao Bei with a death wish.
At this moment, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, and the others were far away.
At this moment, even Liu Xie was filled with anticipation. He hoped that the three of them could kill someone in the palace.
"Stabbing!"
The Cold Scholar Sword was unsheathed again.
Light shone on the temple, and three heads flew into the air.
More than ten drops of blood flew out of the sword and splattered on Liu Xie's face.
"Pa da!"
The three corpses fell to the ground.
Blood dyed the temple red and flowed under the feet of countless people.
Xiao Bei stepped on the blood and walked to the door of the hall. He said indifferently,"Dian Wei, immediately bring the guards to clean up. Don't let the filthy blood stain the temple under the Son of Heaven's feet. Tomorrow, double the number of guards in the palace. Fortunately, they killed me today.”
"Here!"
Dian Wei shouted.
Killing people would kill their hearts.
His words sent chills down everyone's spine.
They always thought that Cao Cao was the second Dong Zhuo and Xiao Bei was the second Li Ru.
Unfortunately, he only understood today that Cao Cao was not Dong Zhuo because his courage and ambition were dozens of times greater than Dong Zhuo's. Xiao Bei was also not Li Ru. In terms of methods, ruthlessness, and schemes, Li Ru was slightly inferior!
"Phew!"
Xiao Bei left with everyone.
Only then did countless officials heave a sigh of relief.
With the help of a few small yellow men, Liu Xie walked shakily to the palace.
"Changwen!"
Xun Yu's gaze was complicated.
Chen Qun bowed slightly and said bitterly," Imperial Decree, I am also acting according to your orders today. Everything I say and do are all recorded in a letter. It is stamped with the Sikong Seal!”
"Sikong Yin is in Runan!"
Xun Yu's eyes were filled with shock.
"I don't know about that!" Chen Qun shook his head and sighed.”
"Xuchang is dangerous!"
Zhong Yao and Du Xi sighed.
At this moment, they finally felt the danger of Xuchang.
It was different from the battle for the heir in Jingzhou, and it was different from the battles in Yuzhou and Yanzhou.
Silently.
Xuchang Temple is mostly empty.
The emperor, relatives, and nobles fell into the trap one by one, becoming chess pieces that could be moved at will.
This feeling wasn't as overbearing as a lord's, but it felt like a powerful official was in the world, and everything was up to him!
After the retreat.
Cao Pi returned to Sikong Manor as he wished.
The change in the royal court had not spread to the people, so the 3rd Battalion was still on guard.
The tenth day!
Xuchang lifted the ban.
Zhong Ji and the others were dragged out of the city from the cages.
On the vast plains.
A high platform had already been built.
Under Chen Qun's supervision, more than ten axemen waved their blades and sent Wang Zifu and his party away.
At noon.
Fu De boarded a simple carriage.
Fu Wan and his sons sent him out of the North gate.
"Father!"
Fu De's eyes were filled with desolation as he said hoarsely," I'm about to go north. Everyone has fallen into the trap of the Marquis of Beishou. Even if word gets out, it'll be the Emperor who'll be handing out punishment through the prisoner interrogation system. All of this has nothing to do with the Sikong Manor or the Marquis of Beishou. Although it will shake some of the Han Dynasty's prestige, it's better than being exposed by the Marquis of Beishou!”
"Yes, sir!"
After one night, he had aged by more than ten years.
The white hair at his temples grew out, making him look like an old man who was about to die.
"Father!"
"Stop fighting!"
Fu De lowered the curtains and sighed." The Marquis of Beishou had no intention of killing anyone. If he really wanted to kill someone, even Noble Dong would have to die tragically. He would have known about the imperial edict long ago. Otherwise, he would have killed my Fu family instead of Dong family. If you guys continue to fight, sooner or later, even the emperor would have died in his hands!”
"De 'er!"
Fu Wan straightened his back and said tragically," Father is a minister of the Han Dynasty, and Fu Shou is the Empress. We have no choice. We lost today and didn't die because Xiao Bei's power was not strong enough. Even Cao Cao couldn't be more ruthless than him!”
"Let's go!"
"Take care!"
Fu De sighed and his servant rode his horse towards the north.
"Return to the city!"
Fu Wan turned around and shouted.
They had lost, but not admitted defeat.
The struggles in the royal court continued. This was the path that the Han Dynasty had to take to revive itself.
The next day.
The news of Cao Cao's victory in Runan was released.
Xuchang, which had been depressed for ten days, was completely swept away. The entire city looked brand new.
Ever since Xuchang was unsealed, Xiao Manor was locked up again. Even Dian Wei, Xun Yu, and Man Chong were not allowed to enter.
Early July!
Cao Cao followed Runan to Xuchang.
Even when Xun Yu wrote a letter, he did not mention anything about what happened in the city.
Sikong Manor.
In the hall.
There were two rows of civil and military officials, but the first seat on the left was empty.
Cao Cao's face was gloomy as he looked down at Cao Pi, who was kneeling in the hall!
"Father!"
"Brother Pi has been kneeling for two hours!" Cao Ang stepped forward.”
"Crash!"
Cao Cao swept the tea and pastries on the table and said coldly,""You've grown capable. According to the prisoner recording system, you were declared innocent in court, but you know in your heart whether you're guilty or not. Without your token, which water servant would dare to poison the Xiao manor?”
"I know my mistake!"
Cao Pi knelt down and trembled.
"Bang!"
Cao Cao kicked Cao Pi and pulled out his Qinglan Sword. He shouted angrily,""Know your mistakes? " Do you know what it means to produce tens of dan of grain seeds per mu? There will be no famine for the people, no starving people on the plains, and the army will not have to worry about the use of grain. The world will be peaceful in twenty years. If you are not my son, I will kill you in front of the Marquis of Beishou's residence today!”
"Father!"
"My lord!"
Cao Ang, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and the others 'expressions changed drastically.
Cao Cao waved his sleeves and said indifferently,"Go and kneel in front of the Xiao manor. When the manor door opens, you can get up!”
"Yes, sir!"
Cao Pi kowtowed bitterly.
Then, he got up and prepared to head to the Xiao Manor.
Cao Cao looked at Man Chong and asked,"Bonin, why did Xinzhi close his residence?"”
"Eh!"
Man Chong was slightly taken aback. He smiled bitterly and said," After the Xuchang incident was settled, Sir brought his maidservants and all the Tiger Guards to Chenliu. He has not returned yet. However, the Xiao Manor in the west of Chenliu City has also been closed!”
"Fengxiao, where did Xinzhi plant the grain?" Cao Cao asked in astonishment.”
"Xiao Manor!"
"It's not the Beishou Marquis Manor!"
Guo Jia shook his head and replied with a bitter smile.
"Bang!"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with surprise as he slapped the table,""Bring that unfilial son back immediately. Dian Wei will gather a thousand soldiers. Ang 'er, Feng Xiao, follow me to Chenliu. As for Xuchang's internal affairs, Wen Ruo will handle them for the time being!”
"Here!"
Everyone shouted.
Xun Yu's eyes were filled with helplessness.
Right now, he was just a tool in charge of dealing with Xuchang's internal affairs.
Several days later.
Cao Cao's group appeared in Chen Liu.
Looking at the extremely familiar door, he actually didn't dare to knock open it.
"Dian Wei, go!"
Guo Jia stroked his chin and said.
"Clang! Clang!"
Dian Wei walked up to the door and knocked on the knocker on the door.
Not long after, Xu Chu opened the door of the manor with a bowl of boiled corn in his hand. He said in surprise,"My Lord, Old Dian, you've come so quickly?”
"Where's Little Sir?"
Dian Wei's face darkened.
As the commander of the guards, he actually did not notice that Xiao Bei had left Xuchang. This was dereliction of duty!
"Inside!"
Xu Chu opened the door, took a bite of corn, and said,"Xuchang wasted nearly half a month. We didn't even have time to come to Chenliu to take care of the corn and potatoes.”
"Gulp!"
Dian Wei gulped.
Even Er 'Lai, who was unrivaled on the battlefield, could not resist the temptation of the soft and sticky corn.
Everyone stepped into the mansion.
When they arrived at the back garden.
The corn bushes had already blocked their vision.
The potato sprouts had already dried up, like a withered grassland.
In the stone pavilion.
Xiao Bei flipped the wooden skewer and roasted two skewers of corn.
Seeing this, Cao Cao's eyes twitched.
He had rushed back from Runan and even made Cao Pi kneel in front of the Marquis of Beishou's residence, but Xiao Bei was enjoying delicious food in Chen Liu?
"My lord!"
"Filial piety!"
Xiao Bei waved his hand.
Only then did everyone cross the fields and step into the stone pavilion.
"Teacher, is this the grain that can produce an astonishing yield per mu?" Cao Ang asked curiously.”
Xiao Bei nodded and pointed at the fertile land beside him. He said with a faint smile,"At the beginning of the year, I got people to remove all the junk in the residence. I planted one mu of each thing, which just happened to fill the entire backyard!”
"How pleasant!"
Cao Cao sipped his tea and said.
Xiao Bei shrugged and said,"pacify Yingchuan, preside over Xuchang's reform, and also take care of the food. If the lord can still say that he's satisfied, then I'm afraid he'll have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemies all the time!"”
"Cough cough!"
Cao Cao coughed dryly and asked,"But your reform hasn't ended yet!"”
"We're finished!"
Xiao Bei said in a deep voice,"My lord, bring the grain seeds back to the court in two days. With your achievements in pacifying Runan and searching for grain seeds, you will be promoted to the position of Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty. Then, you will issue a pardon order to the Yellow Turban Army outside Xuchang City and divide them into various prefectures and counties to become citizens. This will be the first step of the reform!"”
"And then?"
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.
"There are five officials and six ministers on the Minister's Platform now!”
"The three dukes, the officials, the people, and the guests of the north and south all need empty positions!”
"After my lord ascended the position of Prime Minister, he dismissed the five Cao and six Shangshu and set up six departments to replace them!”
"Among them, Chen Qun can be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Xi Zhicai can be the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Cheng Yu can be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, Zhong Yao can be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Du Xi can be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Zao Zhi can be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works!”
"The follow-up to the reform will be handed over to Chen Qun, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!”
Xiao Bei handed a skewer of roasted corn to Cao Cao, his words filled with bewitchment.
He was the Son of Heaven.
Using the six departments to replace the Han Dynasty's political system.
This was the first step to instigating Cao Cao to rebel!
"Not bad!"
Cao Cao took a bite of the corn.
He didn't know if the corn or the reform was good.
"We went astray!"
Guo Jia shook his head and cursed in his heart.
Cao Cao was considered to have gone from a loyal and ambitious official to a sovereign.
"Pa da!"
Xiao Bei took out a document from the side and said with a faint smile,"This is the reform document that Changwen has re-submitted. I have made some changes to it. My lord can take it and hand it to Changwen. This matter concerns the future, so there must be no mistakes!”
"Good!"
Cao Cao nodded.
Xiao Bei took a sip of tea and looked at the vast farmland. He said,"Let's rest for a while and collect the grain. Return to Xuchang as soon as possible. Xuzhou should have some results!”
"Xinzhi!"
"This reform has its drawbacks!"
Cao Cao flipped through the document and frowned,""The power of the Minister's Office is too great!"
"Is it big?"
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly.
Under Cao Cao, who could have more power than Xiao Bei?
The Embroidered Uniform Guards, Congrong Mansion, and Shangshu Tai were all under his command.
However, Guo Jia realized that Cao Cao seemed to understand Xun Yu, so he was unwilling to put such a huge force in his hands.
"No worries!"
"It's nothing!"
Xiao Bei said leisurely,"The Minister's Office is only a document reporting agency. All decisions still have to go through the Prime Minister's Office. There are also Jinyiwei supervising it. In the future, these government decrees will be perfected. Now, we just don't need so many!"”
Cao Cao's worried heart calmed down again. He turned to Cao Pi and said,""Unfilial son, why aren't you getting over here?"
"Father!"
"Sir!"
Cao Pi lowered his head in fear.
Xiao Bei's expression did not change as he said indifferently,"My lord, there's no need to be like this. Take this as a lesson. In the future, you will learn from your mistakes!"”
"Ziheng understands!"
Cao Pi said tearlessly.
Cao Cao glared at Cao Pi and sighed.”
"Haha!"
Xiao Bei smiled faintly and said,"This is my lord's family matter, so it's not convenient for me to get involved. After all, I'm an outsider!"”
"What outsiders!"
"Family, we are all family!"
Cao Cao stroked his beard, wanting to find an opportunity to bring up the marriage of his daughter.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Bei turned to look at Xu Chu and said,"Zhongkang, you take Dian Wei and the brothers of the Xu family to collect the grain!”
"Good!"
Xu Chu took out a hoe and handed it to Dian Wei.
"Eh!"
"Zhongkang, I used to be a hunter!”
"Very simple!"
Xu Chu carried a hoe and casually dug in the potato field.
Fist-sized potato eggs emerged from the field, and there were six or seven of them on each vine!
"Impossible!"
Cao Cao and Guo Jia were shocked.
They didn't know about potatoes and corn, but how could a seedling bear six to seven fruits?
This scene almost overturned their understanding!
"Dig!"
Xu Chu grinned and said," After we're done plowing this acre, we'll go and break the corn. This is all taught by the new school. Unfortunately, although the potato production is large, it's not as delicious as the corn. However, it's already good enough to fill one's stomach!”
"New, new!"
Cao Cao's voice trembled as he asked,"Is every single one of these plants like this?"”
"Yes!"
Xiao Bei nodded and said indifferently,"This thing is easy to plant. Whether it's in the Southern Desert, Western Liang, Northern Xinjiang, Xichuan, or Jingxiang, it can be planted. Moreover, it doesn't need careful care. Even if it rains, it can produce a lot!"”
"A divine item!"
Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised.
In a hurry, he actually carried a hoe and joined the ranks of the grain collectors.
"From the beginning, nothing happened to the grain. Is it all because of this reform?" Guo Jia asked with a strange expression.”
"You're wrong!"
Xiao Bei narrowed his eyes and said with a smile,"Xuchang's reform has ended, but the reform of the entire Yanzhou and the world has only really begun. Chen Changwen is a genius in this and should be the pioneer of the reform. I'm just making a small fuss!"”
"Why don't you seek an official?" Guo Jia nodded.”
"Are you willing?"
Xiao Bei shook his head and asked.
