Chapter 303: The Grand Canal

In later generations, there was a canal that was very famous, because it caused the world to boil, the people rose up, and the Sui Dynasty died because of it, and the successor Tang Dynasty directly benefited from it.

This canal is passed on to future generations, Emperor Yang of Sui went down to the Grand Canal in Yangzhou from then on, thinking of the benefits brought by the Grand Canal, Cao Cao's mentality changed unconsciously, at this time, he regretted it for the first time, regretted that he should not have consumed Wuhuan prisoners like that, those are free labor.

However, Cao Cao's regret, of course, is not known to others, at this time, they are still immersed in Cao Cao's unprecedented words, and Xun Yu, who is the prime minister of the province, stood up happily at this time, and said with a smile: "The minister is ordered, the law of the king today, will be famous for the ages, and the minister can implement this policy and leave a mark in the history books, which is also the grace of the king, and the minister is grateful to the king." ”

Xun Yu's words, I don't know if they were inspired or deliberate, in short, no matter what, those officials who had just been deprived of their local official positions by Cao Cao had changed their minds one by one at this time.

There is a saying in later generations, life is like rape, and if you can't resist, you can only accept it, and the mentality of these officials at this time has changed because of the temptation of being famous to future generations, and there are no complaints or other ideas, after all, for these officials, the temptation of the emperor is not lost to the throne for the prince, and even excessive.

"Okay, except for Tian Chou, the rest of the people should stand down for the time being."

The officials looked at each other, and some were sarcastic, gloating, and worried about Tian Chou, who was named by Cao Cao, but no matter what, they were all retreating with Xun Yu's first retreat, and slowly retreated.

After the officials retreated, only Cao Cao, Xu Chu and Tian Chou were left in the entire hall, and they glanced at Tian Chou below, whose expression remained unchanged. Cao Cao said: "You follow Lonely." ”

With Tian Chou and Xu Chu, who had been guarding the left and right, Cao Cao slowly came to a pavilion in the rear, and at this time, he had already been waiting for the maids again, and stepped forward one after another. After seeing Cao Cao, after pouring down two cups of tea, he slowly retreated.

Cao Cao, who knelt down in front of the stone table first, took a sip of tea that was not hot or cold, then looked at Tian Chou, who was standing on the side, and said, "Sit." Stand down, you don't need to be served here. ”

"Yes, the servant and the others will retire."

Cao Cao glanced at the group of servant girls standing behind him, these servant girls, who didn't dare to say anything, answered softly, bent down slightly, and slowly retreated.

After these maids retreated, the pavilion suddenly became a little quiet, looking at Tian Chou who was looking at the nose and nose on the other side. Cao Cao chuckled and asked, "Are you still dissatisfied with Lone's decision just now?" ”

"Back to the monarch, the minister does not dare, the minister is not dissatisfied with the monarch's decision, but because of the minister himself, the minister has been with Youzhou since he was a child, and he has worked under the hands of Youzhou Mu Liu Gong, if the minister can think of this at that time, then Youzhou does not have to be harassed by the northern barbarians all the time, the people of Youzhou. There is no need to worry about it every day. ”

Looking at the person opposite, with a look of regret and sadness, Cao Cao's appreciation for him can be said to be getting higher and higher, a loyal and patriotic person. is undoubtedly worthy of admiration, Tian Chou's look made Cao Cao more firm in the decision in his heart.

"The heart of the king, the worries of the king, are all admired by Lonely."

Cao Cao gave up. Bent down slightly towards Tian Chou, and after a courtesy, he put down his hands, looked at Tian Chou with a look of surprise, shock and panic on the other side, and said in a deep voice: "This gift is not just because of you, but also for the people of Youzhou, so you don't have to panic or be shocked, since Lone is in charge of the four northern states, then the people of Youzhou are like Lone's own son, you think about the safety of Lone's son, it is enough for Lone to salute you to show your admiration." ”

"The king is so benevolent and loves the people like a son, it will inevitably make all the people in the world return to their hearts, and the people of Youzhou will return to their hearts."

Tian Chou got up, raised his hands, made a big bow to Cao Cao with a stern face, knelt on the ground, bent deeply, and kowtowed three times before sitting back under Cao Cao's instructions.

"Zitai, do you know Liucheng?"

"Back to the monarch, the minister naturally knows that Emperor Wu placed Liucheng County, and its county seat is Liucheng, Liucheng has since then, and Liucheng County belongs to Liaoxi County, but unfortunately, when I was in the dynasty, Liucheng was taken by Wuhuan barbarians, but fortunately, the monarch sent a large army out of the fortress to recapture the land of my Han people."

Cao Cao nodded, and then Tian Chou's words continued: "You are right, Liucheng belongs to Liaoxi County, but since Gongsun Du arrived, Liaoxi is no longer the Liaoxi of the imperial court, but the Liaoxi of Gongsun Du!" ”

After the arrival of this person, he strictly implemented strict punishment and strict laws, and cracked down on the powerful forces in the land of Liaoxi, after his wings gradually increased, but also in the first year of Chuping, the Central Plains was troubled by Dong thieves, and the princes of the world had no time to look east, and they actually rebelled and established themselves as the Marquis of Liaodong and Pingzhou Mu. Later, he did not respect the orders of the imperial court, attacked Goguryeo in the east, attacked Wuhuan in the west, took the Liaodong Peninsula in the south, and crossed the sea to take the Donglai counties in the north of the Jiaodong Peninsula. ”

The more Cao Cao said, the more angry he became, Gongsun Du's behavior can be said to be red. Bare. If he participated in the battle for deer in the world as a prince, Cao Cao would not be too angry, but he severed contact with the imperial court, issued decrees and decrees on his own, and cut off the road to and from the Central Plains, which is no different from Zhao Tuo in the early Han Dynasty, it is completely an act of dividing the territory, which is simply no way not to make Cao Cao angry.

"What the king said is true, after Gongsun Du arrived in Liaodong, not only did not respect the orders of the imperial court, but also issued a clear order, prohibiting any contact with the Central Plains, and the road to Liaodong was mostly destroyed. Extinguished the thought for a moment! ”

A hint of surprise flashed on Cao Cao's face, he really didn't expect Gongsun Du to have the idea of becoming emperor, but thinking about what Gongsun Du had done, it was not very strange to have this idea.

As for why there is no record in history, Cao Cao thought, probably because Gongsun in history is the same as this time and space, and it is because of this news that the idea of becoming the emperor has been dispelled, since it did not happen, then above history, of course, it is unlikely to be recorded, not to mention, history books do not know how many things have been covered up.
