Thanks to the stinky tofu rack brothers for a monthly pass!

Cao Cao's face suddenly became ugly, and his eyes looked at Zhen Mi in front of him with monstrous murderous intent, as if he said that he didn't treat a woman who was enough to captivate the country and the city, but a white bone skeleton.

The meaning of Zhen Mi's words, how could Cao Cao not understand, and that was really the reason why Cao Cao did not use force, but sat here to talk to Zhen Mi, the representative and "gift" sent by the Hebei family.

It has been several years since he came to this era, and he has become a high-ranking person, and he doesn't know how long he has been in a high position, if there is no other reason Guangguang relies on such a move of the Hebei family, Cao Cao's first thought is to send a large army and raid all of them.

As for the so-called human rights and laws in later generations, they are not in Cao Cao's heart at all, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially in the era of war, talking about this is no different from an idiot.

In Chinese society, although the monarch's power is supreme, it does not mean that there is no restriction on the existence of the monarch's power, and as a king, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants.

After the Tang Dynasty, it was the literati or civil official groups who restricted the monarchy's power, and before the Tang Dynasty, it was those families who restricted the monarch's power, and sometimes even overpowered the monarchy.

Although the Hebei business family is in business, but compared with pure businessmen, there is still a big difference, first of all, the first point, the businessmen do not have the idea of forming a group, on the contrary, because of a variety of interests, businessmen and businessmen are often not dealt with.

In addition, the merchants' lines can be said to be all over the world, so it means that the merchant group is like a plate of scattered sand, even if the imperial court sends a large army to wipe out one of the merchants, the rest of the merchants, after getting the news, compared to the imperial court, they will only become more obedient, so as to reduce the court's gaze on their heads.

This is also why the dynasties have been for merchants. It can be said that there is no pressure to do anything, just because the rulers understand that in the face of the imperial army, these merchants will only become more obedient. More law-abiding, rather than resistant, such a mentality is of course not good for the outside world, but for the stability of a country. But it's good.

Compared with pure businessmen, Hebei business families, although they are in business, but they are also families, the first characteristic of the family, that is, between each family and other families, it can be said that the connection is broken, and at the same time in the face of the threat from the imperial court, the first idea of the families is not to obey. But what a confrontation and even rebellion against the imperial court!

If Cao Cao sent a large army to copy the business families in Hebei, then he dared to guarantee that Hebei, which had just settled down, would change again, and those families who were unwilling to be suppressed by the imperial court would definitely use the most fundamental force to rebel against the imperial court.

Don't think that this is impossible, just think about the Three Kingdoms, after the monster of the family is even bigger, it will open its fangs towards the monarchy, of course, it can also be called the imperial power.

One of the reasons for the frequent political changes in the Northern and Southern Dynasties era. It was precisely because the family was dissatisfied with the imperial court that a coup d'état was launched against the imperial court, and after the emperor changed, the government was stable. Later, as time passed, those families were dissatisfied with the decrees of the imperial court, and staged a coup d'état here, so that the emperor's position was changed again, this is a situation. It continued until the middle and late Tang Dynasty before it stopped.

Of course, Cao Cao knew more in his heart that the first time the family opened its fangs on the imperial power, it was not in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but at the end of the Three Kingdoms, the Sima clan who founded the Jin Dynasty was not a commoner, but an old family that lasted for hundreds of years.

Cao Cao can indeed send troops to exterminate the Hebei family for a momentary time, but the consequence of this must be the Hebei family riot, Cao Cao once again sent troops to suppress, and so on and so on to the end, even if Cao Cao finally suppressed the entire Hebei family, but then, in the face of the huge territory of the four states of Hebei, Cao Cao has those people who can be sent.

After all, the number of scholars of the Han family in this era is a minority, before the development and growth of the Chendu Academy, when the imperial examination was not yet implemented, relying on the family to govern the place, although it was to quench thirst, but it had to be done, unless Cao Cao wanted to make the entire territory fall into a state of anarchy, or become a military manager, but as long as he thought about it, he understood that such a thing was impossible.

"You're right, no matter what, Lone is also the queen of the Cao family, Lone agrees to the conditions of your Hebei family, but there is also one thing, if some of you do evil in the local area, then Lone will not be spared!"

Although he was unwilling and even angry, but when the external conditions were not met, for the stability of the whole world, Cao Cao had to decide to accept the conditions of the Hebei family in desperation.

However, the reason why he agrees today is only because Cao Cao does not have a blade in his hand that is sufficient to replace the family, and when one day, his blade to replace the family is in hand, and what awaits the family will inevitably belong to the king's wrath.

"There is a sentence that you say is not right!"

Zhen Mi, who understood that Cao Cao agreed to the conditions, came to Cao Cao's side with a smile, and murmured like a lover: "After today, people are the people of the king, and they are not people from the Hebei family from now on. "So much best!"

Cao Cao, who whispered a sentence, pushed Zhen Mi away, stood up, walked towards the door, and said at the same time: "In the near future, Gu will fulfill what he said today, and at that time, Gu also wants to see it, and Gu wants to see it." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Guarding both sides of the gate, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were constantly blocking Zhen Yan, saw Cao Cao come out, and after saluting him with a fist, they walked behind Cao Cao.

"Well, let's go."

Watching the figures of Cao Cao and the three of them gradually disappear, Zhen Yan, who kept thinking about the meaning of Cao Cao's glance at him just now, unconsciously walked into the house and stayed in the house. ”

"Ah, no, nothing, what's the matter, little sister, your lord, did you agree?"

Glancing at Zhen Yan, who was a little nervous and expectant, Zhen Mi smiled: "The king is a Ming monarch, of course he will not stop the effectiveness of the Hebei family, after the elder brother goes back, he should tell them, and the things they promised the king should also be taken out as much as possible, so as not to change later."
