Chapter 768: Becoming a Faint King
Thank you Dong Xiaoxian for your reward!
"Since you have no objections, then transfer and transfer the Third Army to Wuyuan County, and at the same time order Zhang He and Pang De to be the main and deputy generals to be responsible for all the military affairs of the Northern Protectorate! Zitai is still the governor of the Northern Protectorate! There is no need to pass an order, I will tell the generals about this matter when they return to Beijing to report on their work! Cao Cao said.
After the meeting was dismissed, several people left the Qianqing Palace and came to the court room in the front hall to review the recitals passed down below, while Cao Cao left the palace at the same time.
Cao Cao, accompanied by Dian Wei, went to the Ministry of Commerce, which was close to the imperial city, and it was very interesting to say, because of the traditional concept of light commerce, although this Ministry of Commerce had the same status as the other six ministries, but in the eyes of the subjects it was simply a department that could not be put on the formal stage, but when time passed, and the merchants' taxes accounted for most of the year's income, this situation was different.
A considerable number of new scholars sharpened their heads and drilled into them, and some ministers also tried their best to send their children to the Ministry of Commerce, which became a hot incense paradox.
Cao Cao came to the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of Commerce, and was immediately embarrassed by the soldiers, who smiled neither humbly nor arrogantly: "This son, only the matter of business license approval can come to the Ministry of Commerce for help, and the general business affairs are responsible for the relevant yamen in various places!" โ
Cao Cao smiled and shook off the folding fan very chicly, this thing has been popular in the entire upper class society of the Great Wei since Cao Cao's invention.
"I'm here to visit, well, Zhang Shangshu!" Cao Cao smiled.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Chu, who had a bit of a son's brother's taste, and warned in an unkind tone: "This son, Zhang Shangshu is now His Majesty's important minister, not something you can see if you want to!" โ
Cao Cao didn't want to be entangled at the door, so he motioned to Dian Wei to explain it to the other party. Dian Wei took out an iron plate from his arms and put it in front of the other party, and said with a tiger face: "See clearly!" โ
The soldier was a little careless at first, thinking that it was really boring! Pretending to be five people and six people! However, after he saw the inscription on the iron plate clearly, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly saluted: "I don't know if the general has arrived, please forgive me!" โ
Then something came to mind. His eyes were nervous, excited, and terrified, and he glanced at Cao Cao behind Dian Wei, and asked in a trembling voice: "This, Mo is not, Mo is not?" โ
Just when Dian Wei was about to get angry, Cao Cao came over with a smile, patted the soldier's shoulder, and then walked in, and it took a long time for the soldier to come back to his senses. He muttered in disbelief: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty actually patted me on the shoulder!" โ
Cao Cao came to the outside of the lobby with a familiar car, leaving Dian Wei and the others outside, and he walked in, while Zhang Xi was intently reviewing the official documents.
Cao Cao smiled slightly, walked to the left and sat down, and looked at Zhang Xi with interest, at this time Zhang Xi didn't realize that Cao Cao was already beside him.
"This is ridiculous! Li Gui. Go and get me all the dossiers! Zhang Xi said suddenly.
Finding that no one was paying attention to him, he couldn't help but raise his head slightly annoyed. But when he saw Cao Cao smiling at him, Zhang Xi couldn't help but be stunned, then came back to his senses, quickly got up and came to Cao Cao, and saluted him: "Meet you!" โ
Cao Cao helped Zhang Xi up and feigned anger: "Wangjiang." In private, you and I don't have to be so polite! โ
"This, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Xi is different from Xun Yu and others, as a scholar of the Ministry of Commerce, he still has more of the quality of a businessman. There are not many Zhang Xi like this, which also makes Cao Cao quite satisfied.
Thinking of his angry appearance just now, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Wangjiang, was angry about He just now?" โ
Zhang Xi remembered the matter, but his face showed hesitation, Cao Cao couldn't help but be more curious, and said: "Qing said bluntly!" โ
Zhang Xi nodded, then walked to the front of the case, picked up the official document on the case, frowned, turned to Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty, this is an official document from the Western Regions, does Your Majesty want to see it?" โ
Cao Cao stood up and walked in front of Zhang Xi, took the official document, glanced at Zhang Xi with some confusion, and opened the official document.
Cao Cao looked at it for a moment, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Okay! I can't imagine this kind of thing happening right now! โ
Zhang Xi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that Concubine Mi and Concubine Zhen will never be involved in this matter!" It must be their family members who are corrupting the law outside under their banner! โ
Cao Cao frowned and pondered for a moment, nodded, and said with certainty: "I also believe that they will never be involved in this matter!" โ
Cao Cao rubbed his forehead with a little headache, and said helplessly and annoyedly: "Actually, I have long known that things like this kind of foreign relatives are inevitable to be corrupt and pervert the law, but I deliberately didn't want these things before!" Now it seems that it is necessary not only to face, but also to cut off the foundations that fuel this matter as soon as possible! โ
Zhang Xi lowered his head and pretended not to hear, Cao Cao didn't care, just sat down in Zhang Xi's place and thought about it.
After a while, Cao Cao asked about another matter, "Wangjiang, I heard you talk about the Wuxu character files just now, why do you want those files?" โ
Zhang Xi replied: "Those files are all the important business information about the Western Regions in the past few years, and Wechen suspects ยทยทยทยทยทยท."
Cao Cao frowned and said, "You suspect that since a few years ago, some people have used unfair means to compete in business!" โ
Zhang Xi nodded, "If it's just a matter of buying and merging between businessmen, Weichen thinks it's nothing, but according to the information we have obtained so far, I'm afraid that the situation there is far beyond these, buying officials is commonplace, and there are many strange cases related to business!" โ
Cao Cao frowned, subconsciously felt that this matter must not be tolerated, thought for a while, and said to Zhang Xi: "In the past two days, Qing has made a report on this matter, and I will discuss this matter with the ministers during the internal discussion. โ
"Command!" Zhang Xi nodded.
Cao Cao's internal discussion refers to a small range of deliberations in the Qianqing Palace with the prime ministers of the three provinces and the ministers of the Seven Shangshu, etc., in the current Great Wei Dynasty, many major policies are not from the Fengtian Palace, but from the Qianqing Palace's internal discussions, which is somewhat similar to the situation during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
At this time, it was just close to lunchtime, Cao Cao asked Zhang Xi to eat with him, and several people came to the restaurant not far away.
Just when Cao Cao and the others were happily dining, there was a noise in the private room next door, "They are all mediocre officials, faint officials, and they actually do such a ridiculous thing!" โ
Immediately, another voice lowered his voice and persuaded: "Brother Yang, it's useless for you to complain!" Besides, this policy was decreed by His Majesty! โ
"Your Majesty!? Then Your Majesty is the Faint King! โ
Immediately after that, another voice said in a nervous tone: "Your Majesty is a rare British lord!" You don't talk gibberish! โ
A quarrel ensued. (To be continued.) )
