Chapter 518: The Emperor is very pleased, the ancient emperor [Subscribe]

Cao Cao took back the inquiry bead and looked towards the wing of the front hall of the Bronze Sparrow Palace.

It was the office place of Cao Wei's important officials, the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers.

Xun Yu was busy, and when he saw Cao Cao coming in from outside, he was stunned for a moment, then stood up to greet him: "Why is your Majesty here?"

"I just took a walk and came to you. You go about your business."

The two men had known each other for many years, so Xun Yu was not polite. After paying his respects to Cao Cao, he continued to handle various official duties.

Cao Cao walked around the room, picked up a scroll on the desk, flipped through it, and said casually:
"Wen Ruo, I want to reform the official system from the three dukes and nine ministers to the three provinces and six ministries. What do you think?"

"No problem, I support it."

Xun Yu's response was so fluent that Cao Cao was a little surprised.

Xun Yu wrote down his comments and suggestions on a scroll of memorial, and then handed it to Cao Cao:

"That's right. This needs to be personally reviewed and reprinted by Your Majesty. Please take a look."

Cao Cao was captured by Xun Yu, who took him, glanced at him, took out his personal seal, stamped it, and signed the document.

The emperor has many seals. In addition to the imperial seal, he also has his own private seal, which is very small, only one or two inches square.

The most commonly used ones are private prints.

The topic of their conversation turned back to the issue of adjusting the civil service system.

Cao Cao: "Why don't you give me some advice?"

Xun Yu put down his pen and thought for a moment: "Over the years, I have learned one thing from experience: don't give me any advice on the decisions you make."

"When I first followed Your Majesty in my early years, I was diligent in giving you advice.

But what happened later proved me wrong and you right many times. "

"After that, I slowly learned to be cautious."

"Later, when we unified the Wei Empire, you proposed to reform some of the old systems. After repeated reflection, I still felt that I should make suggestions. Perhaps you were wrong. We cannot rush to adjust the system right after the founding of the country.

But later on, you were proven right. For example, the three-chief system and the equal-field system for the gentry suppressed the gentry's large-scale land occupation in the local area. My suggestion was too conservative."

Xun Yu:
“So I seldom object to your decisions nowadays, not because I have learned to weigh the pros and cons as I grow older, or because you are in a high position and I have become timid.

But my experience over the past fifteen years has taught me not to easily oppose your decision."

Cao Cao was amused. He moved closer to Xun Yu and glanced at the pile of memorials on his desk:

"In my current position, there are many people who flatter me, but few who speak the truth.

There are only a few of you, including Wenhe. He looks timid, but deep down he is someone who dares to oppose me. If there is something wrong with what I do, he dares to point it out.

The same is true for Fengxiao, Gongda, and Zhongde."

"Among you, you flatter the least, but when you do, I love it the most."

"Go on."

Xun Yu laughed and said, "I can swear to heaven that I have never patted your majesty's dragon thigh. Every word I say is from the heart."

The dragon stock is the emperor's buttocks, as intellectuals call it.

"If I really think you've made a mistake, I'll tell you. But your decisions are rarely wrong.

Over the years, Fengxiao, Wenhe, Gongda, and I have discussed major decisions privately more than once, and no one has ever seen you make a mistake."

"It is under your leadership that our Great Wei has come this far."

"I initially thought that we should settle down after the founding of the country and stop being aggressive. War consumes too much national strength."

"Of course there are spoils of war and a lot of captured goods from victory to make up for the losses.

But if we fail to win decisive battles, a few battles will drag down the country’s strength and we will lose sight of the main goal.”

"I thought at the time that Your Majesty probably gained the world through military exploits, and that you were used to fighting wars and solving problems with force.

Since you can't persuade me, you will probably understand once Your Majesty suffers a loss in the war."

"After that, I waited. I waited for the unification of the world and the submission of all ethnic groups; I waited for the defeat of the Xianbei and the expansion of the territory;
Then our language was brought to the attention of hundreds of tribes, who learned it together.

And you, until now, have never lost a war."

Xun Yu spread his hands and said:
"To be honest, Your Majesty, I am waiting for you to make a mistake. Then I will write down all the words I have been holding back for these years and give you my advice."

"But I have waited until now and have never had the chance."

Cao Cao burst into laughter.

The number of times Xun Yu flattered him could be counted on one hand.

But every time he took a photo, Cao Cao would enjoy it for several days.

High-end flattery is always expressed in the simplest language. Not a single word is an explicit flattery, but every sentence hits the point, making Cao Cao feel extremely comfortable.

"Wen Ruo, I am so lucky to have you manage this household for me."

The two turned to discuss the current administration of the Wei Dynasty and even the subsequent development direction of various places.

"Next year will be very important to our Great Wei. If everything goes well, there will be another leap in national strength."

Xun Yu was referring to the promotion of early rice, which will take grain preparations to a higher level.

The conversation between the two people quickly expanded in scale.

Cao Cao asked his men to call over several of his key members.

Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao, Jiang Gan, Zheng Xuan, and even Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, all came one after another, and it turned into a small court meeting.

These people are in charge of all aspects of the Wei Dynasty.

It summarizes military, civil affairs, finance, taxation, education, farming, sacrifices, medical care, and construction matters.

There is no need to elaborate on the military affairs of the Wei Dynasty.

Fiscal, tax and grain reserves have been increasing year by year.

In terms of water conservancy, with stable investment over the years, water conservancy projects in various places such as the Yellow River have achieved initial water control.

In terms of education, the Chinese language was promoted uniformly among the many tribes under his rule.

This is domination and annexation at the cultural level.

When all the things happen, list them out one by one.

The ministers became increasingly emotional.

The entire country, twenty-three states, and tens of millions of people are becoming increasingly strong and prosperous under their leadership.

Nothing can compare to this sense of accomplishment.

"Wen Ruo was originally reviewing memorials submitted by various parties, but I interrupted him and turned it into a small court meeting.

If we continue talking, Wen Ruo will have to stay up late tonight, so let's go." Cao Cao said, and left with brisk steps.

As the sky gradually darkened, the sun showed its red glow of sunset.

At night, Cao Cao came to Zhen Mi's bedroom.

The girl was wearing a clean white middle-length dress, with her long hair hanging down, reflecting her fair skin.

She had just taken off her hair accessories when she saw Cao Cao coming in. Her beautiful eyes lit up with joy and she turned around to greet him.

midnight.

Cao Cao took his young wife out of the bedroom.

He hesitated for a moment, and seeing Zhen Mi wrapped in a blanket with a shy face, he did not go to Zhen Yan Palace next door, but went to Diao Chan's bedroom instead.

The main thing is that everyone is together, it is lively and warm. Hugging together for warmth is popular now.

……

The night is dark.

Darker than the night is the No. 4 Tomb inside the Qinling Mountains.

It is like the deep sea, without a trace of light.

A pale but strong hand rested on the stone wall inside the mountain.

The hand slowly tightened, and a face slowly emerged, sticking to the wall, listening attentively.

His face was as pale as his hands, with high eyebrows and a straight nose, and his skin had a warm glow.

"Dao Zun, are you sure this is the edge of the mountain wall? Have you found the wrong one again?"

a voice sounded.

The first one to appear, with one hand on the cliff, was Dao Zun.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The scene behind him was quite special.

Followed by two bronze coffins and a bronze boat.

The two bronze coffins are the Three Emperors Coffin of Daozun and the Black Bird Coffin unearthed from the Yellow River Tomb.

On that bronze boat, there was a sun hanging and moving, shining brightly. It was a solar boat excavated from the ancient land of Yizhou.

There were two coffins and a boat with quite a few people standing on it.

Including the extraordinary people recruited by the Wei Dynasty, as well as several top Taoist masters.

Ling Jin, Li Wufang, Taoist Ziqing, Zuo Ci, and Nanhua were all there.

But everyone was in a mess.

Except for Dao Zun, everyone else entered the Five-Colored Altar from the foot of Mount Tai during the Cao Wei National Sacrifice.

At that time, everyone saw a ball of five-colored light in front of them. After trying to get closer, they felt that the five-colored divine light disappeared and it became darker and darker in front.

Several people followed the secret armor beast, searching and groping in the darkness.

Unexpectedly, the Secret Armor Beast led them all the way to find the Taoist Master.

After the two parties exchanged information, everyone was shocked.

Dao Zun said that he had entered the depths of Kunlun Ruins, but ended up inside the Qinling Mountains, and it had been a long time.

Only then did Ling Jin and others realize that they had come from Mount Tai to Qinling Mountains.

How can this be?

But Dao Zun judged with certainty that this was the Qinling Tomb.

Everyone suddenly felt a sense of confusion as if the world was turned upside down.

And then they were trapped here.

Fortunately, we had made sufficient preparations beforehand, and Dao Zun was more familiar with Tomb No. 4 than anyone else.

Here he found an edible moss and clean water.

That's why everyone was trapped in the tomb for several months without dying.

Dao Zun said that some changes have taken place in the tomb. Some areas that were safe before have now become dead-end restricted areas.

The group stayed in Tomb No. 4 for several months, and it is difficult to describe their experiences during that time.

In this tomb, they saw many incredible things that existed only in legends.

Today, Tomb No. 4 seems like a strange world.

Everyone followed Dao Zun to explore the border here and look for a way out. This was the first time they found the edge of the mountain wall.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how many messages you have received?" Ling Jin conveyed the message to the people around him.

"We are here. It may be difficult for Your Majesty to intervene and help. According to what Daozun said, the entrance to the outside world must have changed.

If we want to go out, we still have to rely on ourselves.”

"Luckily we met Dao Zun, otherwise I'm afraid the whole army would be wiped out."

"With this mountain wall as a support, we can explore the surrounding area along the mountain wall."

"Silence, what do you think that is?"

"A person, sitting on a coffin..."

"Fuck that person, that's a ghost..."

Ling Jin, Li Wufang and Zuo Ci communicated with each other.

In the darkness ahead, a huge bronze coffin, like the Three Emperors Coffin and the Xuanniao Coffin, is slowly emerging.

The spell patterns on the coffin wall flickered, and the faint light allowed everyone to see that there was a person sitting on the coffin.

A man wearing a tall crown and ancient imperial robes.

He was tall and sat there, turning his head very slowly to scan the surroundings.

When Ling Jin, Li Wufang and others saw the person on the coffin, they all felt their scalps tingling and a chill growing.

The person on the coffin had an extremely ferocious and evil aura.

The light from the sun boat suddenly disappeared.

The Taoist Master extinguished the light on it to avoid attracting the attention of the Ancient Emperor in the coffin.

Several people looked at Dao Zun together.

They had encountered similar strange things here more than once, and they were able to avoid disaster safely only by following the advice of the Taoist Master.

"Follow the ancient emperor's coffin and take a look."

Dao Zun said: "He seems to be patrolling, or looking for something."

The group left a special mark at the location on the cliff they had just found and immediately followed.

……

After receiving the transfer order from Cao Cao, Zhao Yun rode his horse at full speed, heading south and finally returning to Yecheng.

in the afternoon.

Zhao Yun followed the eunuch into the Tongquetai Palace.

He saw from afar two people in the corner pavilion in front of him, slowly drawing in the energy of heaven and earth.

But it was Guo Jia who followed Cao Cao to restore the yang energy in his body.

Cao Cao had promised to take him to absorb the Yang Fire of Heaven and Earth. Guo Jia persisted for a while and found that the effect was good. A dead place was rejuvenated with a little vitality, so he was greatly encouraged and came to Cao Cao twice a day.

"Zilong is back."

Cao Cao walked towards Zhao Yun and asked, "What's the situation?"

"I am fortunate to have lived up to my command."

Zhao Yun was still wearing white robe and silver armor, his cloak fluttering: "I was just about to report everything to your majesty."

"Come in and talk." The three of them entered the study one after another.
