Chapter 306: Raiding the house and demotion
ps: Thank you to the bamboo dress brothers for voting for a monthly ticket!
"Look, look, you know, what these are, these are what you say and do in secret, do you know, when Lone receives this, what is in his heart?"
Waving a bunch of letters from secret agents in his hand, Cao Cao looked coldly at the officials kneeling on the ground and said: "Gu has never thought that you, who have always been in front of Gu, who claim to be loyal ministers, would be so dissatisfied with Gu behind your back, okay, today Gu will give you a chance to let you say all the dissatisfaction and unwillingness in your hearts, say it!" ”
"Why, don't you dare, you officials, do you only dare to say your unwillingness behind your back?!"
Looking at the officials below, just trembling, but not daring to say anything, Cao Cao sneered, and said: "There is one more thing, I think you don't understand, today Lone will let you understand, why Lone set up the Northern Protectorate, see if it is Lone is a great achievement, come here, Xuan Sima Yi to the palace!" ”
"Minister Sima Yi, see the king!"
Sima Yi, who was dressed in a purple robe, Shi Shiran walked in with a smile, and after saluting Cao Cao, he smiled and said: "Back to the king, the minister lived up to the king's trust, and finally persuaded Xianbei Budugen, and the above table to the court to call the court, at the same time, the two leaders of the three departments of Wuhuan, also on the table, are willing to submit to the court, for the court to serve the dogs and horses, if the minister is not miscalculated, think that a few days ago, the two parts of the table, has already arrived at the court, and the news will probably come to Youzhou after a while. ”
"Okay, Zhongda, you have been working hard for days, go down and rest first."
"Thank you, your lordship, the minister is leaving!"
Sima Yi fully ignored the officials kneeling in the lobby, and retreated without any hesitation, for Sima Yi, as long as he didn't quite understand what was going on, then it was best not to be involved if he could not be involved. Cao Cao's order to let him retreat undoubtedly fell into Sima Yi's hands.
After Sima Yi stepped back, Cao Cao once again set his eyes on the officials below, sat down again, and said, "Hear me." Budugen and the three Wuhuan ministers were called ministers, and since then, the leaders of the two tribes have been Han Chen, and they are naturally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and the northern capital. Now, do any of you think that the establishment of the Northern Protectorate is a great achievement, and that serving as the Taishou of Liucheng and the Protector of the Northern Metropolitan is a dead end?! ”
"The king sees thousands of miles, the ministers admire, the ministers are ordinary people, and it is a blessing for the ministers to be able to serve the king so brightly!" "The king was impressed by Xianbei and Wuhuan, and his prestige reached as far as the grassland, and he set up the northern capital to protect the palace, which is really nothing more than the Han Dynasty. The ministers are stupid, and they think about the king's strategy in vain, but they are really beyond their own strength! ”
"The gentleman handed over the important land of Liucheng to the former ministers of the Yuan clan to guard, which is really the demeanor of the Ming monarch who is not used by suspicious people, and the ministers are dull and self-conscious, and I ask for your forgiveness!"
By now, all the officials dare not bear it strongly. Because Cao Cao has already slapped them with reality, I don't know how many times.
Although he secretly scolded in his heart, those grassland barbarians were powerless, and they actually surrendered to Cao Cao, causing them to be so embarrassed and passive now. But on the surface, there is no shame at all, and he does not hesitate to say a bunch of sensual words.
Should it be said that he is worthy of being a person who was once valued by Yuan Shao, whether it is his demeanor or this sycophant kung fu, the civil and military forces under Cao Cao. It was simply too late to shoot the horse, Xu Chu, who was originally full of disgust, had to show a trace of admiration in the face of these officials' shameless horses at this time.
"Hmph, although Lone doesn't like to be punished by speech, however, some remarks are too terrifying, so Lone decided, the former Yuyang is too guarded, and the good country is too guarded"
"These officials will be deprived of their official positions, their homes will be raided, they will be demoted to commoners, and they will not be allowed to be like officials for life, and the rest of them will be demoted to one rank and fined for one year to set an example!"
After Cao Cao finished the announcement, he walked away on the spot, and some of Cao's soldiers who had been waiting outside for a long time strode in, dragging down the officials who had been paralyzed on the ground at this time by Cao Cao's name, confiscated their official uniforms and official seals, and threw them out of the gate.
At the same time, there were some other Cao soldiers, led by officers at the rank of captain of Cao, towards the mansions of these degraded officials.
"What's going on? What's wrong with these big men? ”
"I don't know, but it seems that maybe it annoyed you?"
“”
The Cao soldiers who were guarding in front of the Taishou Mansion, I don't know if it was spontaneous or received the order, they stepped forward and said loudly: "The people present are listening, these people, because they are talking about the king behind their backs, oppose the establishment of the northern capital by the king, and even say that the fall of Liucheng is imminent, and Youzhou is in danger, so the king condemned these people to civilians, and copied their homes, and they themselves will not be allowed to enter the government for life!" ”
"I see!"
"Okay, the king did a good job, these damn guys shouldn't continue to be officials!"
“”
When the people learned from the mouth of Sergeant Cao the reason why these officials were demoted and their homes were raided, they all cast their eyes with contempt and anger, and some of the people who even came out to buy vegetables did not feel heartbroken at all The vegetables and eggs in the bamboo basket were smashed like these officials, and scolded: "Guy who has lost his conscience, get out, with you as officials, I wait for the people, how can there be any good life, get out!" ”
The soldiers and soldiers Cao who were guarding in front of the door exchanged a look with each other, and they didn't care about these smashed officials as if they couldn't see them.
But this is also inevitable, who let these officials dare to talk about Cao Cao behind their backs, which makes Cao Junjun, who has been extremely admired by Cao Cao because of long-term brainwashing, feel very dissatisfied and angry.
Of course, the aftermath of this scene is not only like this, but the officials who came out of the Taishou Mansion with a happy face afterwards are also not much better.
Some of the people who heard the news later and came late regarded them as those degraded officials, and mercilessly smashed the eggs in their hands and so on at these officials, if it weren't for the fact that Cao Jun's soldiers had to come out to stop them, these officials who were lucky not to be demoted to civilians by Cao Cao would not have ended up much better than those before.
But no matter what, after this turmoil ended, the influence of these officials in Youzhou dropped to the lowest, and the scene Cao Cao did today still achieved the effect that Cao Cao expected. (To be continued.) )
