Du Yu looked at Cao Mao in front of him in shock.
For a moment, he was speechless.
Du Yu had seen many of Cao Mao's previous events very clearly. He had always guessed that what the emperor really cared about was not his own power, nor the resurgence of the Wei Dynasty. He only cared about the rise and fall of the world.
Today, Cao Mao's answer confirmed his suspicion.
This is a man who dares to risk his own life to bring peace to the world.
Du Yu felt extremely entangled in his heart.
Because governing the world and supporting the country is also Du Yu's ambition.
He really admired such an emperor and such a king.
Many people think that the emperor is a holy king like Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen, but Du Yu feels that this emperor is likely to surpass those two wise kings and become a true holy king.
But Du Yu didn't dare to speak.
Sima Zhao was very kind to him, regarded him as his confidant, obeyed his words, and completely trusted him.
If you choose to betray the monarch at this time, are you still a human being?
This is the political system left by the Eastern Han Dynasty. Each level is a king. The county magistrate is called the county king. The people in the county treat him like his own king, not to mention the prefect. The county is the country, and the prefect is the king. It is the local lord Ming Gong.
In the temple, the recommender is the monarch of the recommended person. When the emperor conflicts with his monarch, there are many people who stand on the side of his monarch.
At the beginning, Cao Cao used this method to erect temples and open mansions, and then recruit talented people from all over the world in the name of King Wei.
In this way, these talented monarchs are Cao Cao, not the emperor sitting on top.
Strictly speaking, they were subordinate officials of Cao Cao, personal ministers of the Wei State, not officials of the Han Dynasty. They were fed by Wei Lu, not Han Lu.
This method has benefited the Sima family a lot. Starting from Sima Yi's generation, they began to imitate Cao Cao's method, and this path appeared in front of everyone.
Du Yu was not a minister of the Wei Dynasty, he was an official of Sima Zhao.
Cao Mao looked at the hesitant Du Yu in front of him and smiled again.
"Well, you can wait one more month."
"If I succeed and conquer Sima Zhao, then you will follow Sima Zhao to assist me."
Du Yu was stunned, "What if it fails?"
"If it fails, it means that Sima Zhao died in my hands, and you can assist me alone."
Du Yu was stunned.
Cao Mao looked familiar and asked Du Yu to sit next to him.
"Don't think that I am arrogant. You can't even see the situation in Luoyang, but I know the whereabouts of General Wei."
"Although I have never fought in a war, I also know the principle of knowing yourself and the enemy. Now General Wei doesn't know the enemy, and he doesn't even know himself. How can he be my opponent?"
"My idea is to use General Wei to conquer the army in Hebei at once."
"I want Mr. Yang to serve as the general of Zhenbei. We will not conquer the north for the time being. With Mr. Yang's ability, having him stationed in Youzhou is enough to pacify the bandits outside."
"Chen Tai and Sima Wang in the northwest are already trying to solve the problem. As for Zhuge Dan in Huainan, I have decided to let him be the Taiwei."
"Don't be so surprised. I have other arrangements for General Guanqiu."
"Wang Chang of Jingzhou, to be honest, this person is always waiting and watching. He does not have the courage to do things alone. If all these troops submit to me, he will definitely surrender."
Du Yu didn't know why the emperor suddenly mentioned this to him, but thinking about it along the emperor's train of thought, this was a good way to solve the problem.
However, several important factors must be taken into consideration. Zhuge Dan may not be willing to come to the temple.
He was originally accused of conspiring with the general. Now that the emperor is in charge, does he dare to come to Luoyang?
"Your Majesty, I think this is General Zhennan."
Du Yu just spoke, but suddenly he reacted.
No, I'm not your family's adviser!
He stopped quickly.
Cao Mao couldn't help laughing, "I know that it is not an easy thing to get General Zhuge to come to Luoyang. However, General Zhuge is a person who values his reputation. I believe he will not dare to raise troops to rebel against me."
Cao Mao said seriously: "If we do this, the various places in the Wei Dynasty will be pacified."
Du Yu couldn't help but said again: "Has your Majesty forgotten General Hu, who supervised Qing Xu's military affairs?"
Cao Mao said confidently: "I heard that this man is seriously ill and will die soon."
Du Yu just felt puzzled. Hu Zun had always been in good health and was the toughest among the generals. Why didn't he know that he was seriously ill?
Did the emperor want to assassinate him? ?
No, how can the majestic General Zhengdong be killed so easily?
Looking at Du Yu's suspicious eyes, Cao Mao didn't know how to explain it.
Although Hu Zun looks tough, in fact, he will become seriously ill in half a year and die of illness in a year.
How to explain this?
Could it be said that he was observing the stars at night and discovered that General Hu was not going to die soon?
Cao Mao waved his hand simply, "None of this is important. What's important is what happens next."
"I have decided to improve the treatment of the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty. The next step will be to reduce the burden on farmers and ensure the safety of merchants."
"Open official schools in various places, let the saint's teachings spread all over the world, conquer Shu and Wu, move the powerful families there to this side, and then move the powerful people here to there."
"Anyway, that's all for the short time. By the way, I heard that you are also good at making tools. I have some design drawings here. How about you help me take a look?"
Cao Mao looked at Du Yu, but Du Yu's eyes were widened and he was looking at the emperor motionless.
Is this a short-term plan?
Are you thinking too far?
Du Yu only felt that his mind was a little confused at the moment.
Du Yu didn't wake up until Cao Mao put his treasure drawings in front of Du Yu.
"Your Majesty, this is you"
"This thing is already in use by General Guanqiu. Look, it's called a curved plow. Although it's just an improved curved arm, the improvement is huge. I've had people take this thing to Huainan for a long time. have a look."
Du Yu looked at the drawing in his hand.
As an all-around player, Du Yu naturally saw the mystery at a glance. He couldn't help but ask: "Is this what His Majesty thought of??"
"It doesn't matter who thinks it, as long as it works."
"I'll give you this letter. Take it back and read it. Maybe it can inspire you."
Du Yu quickly put the things in front of the case, "Your Majesty, this is too expensive."
"You don't have to worry. I asked General Guanqiu to work hard to make it in Huainan. I am not afraid that this thing will be leaked. Let alone General Wei, I will not be angry even if it is obtained by the Kingdom of Shu and Wu."
"Wei inherited the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, so aren't the people in Shuwu my people?"
"Let them learn how to make these early, so that they won't have to work hard to promote them after I fight."
Du Yu looked at the young emperor in front of him again.
At this moment, he actually expected His Majesty to succeed.
Du Yu said seriously: "Your Majesty, even if there are no ministers to assist you, you will definitely be able to help the country and establish a prosperous age."
Cao Mao shook his head, "There is no reason that one person can achieve anything, and a prosperous age cannot be achieved by one person."
"I know your talents. If you can't use your talents for me, it would be a real pity."
"However, there is no need to worry. You can rest in Luoyang. I still have very important things to do. In the future, I will ask you to come from time to time. I will not let you think of ways to deal with General Wei, but this time I still hope you can spare no effort in governing the world."
Du Yu quickly stood up and bowed to Cao Mao.
Cao Mao personally sent him to the door, where Liu Lu was waiting.
Seeing Cao Mao coming out, Liu Lu laughed. Watching the soldiers taking Du Yu away, he just stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, this man is indeed useful. I think he is different from those rotten scholars in the temple."
After Liu Lu became Cao Mao's Huangmen official, Cao Mao bought him a mansion in Luoyang, helped him add furniture, and rewarded him with a lot of money and silk.
And Cao Mao's reward to Liu Lu was not unreasonable.
After these days of running around, Liu Lu became more and more reliable. He was tempered, his character was no longer reckless, and his progress was quite obvious.
Cao Mao was extremely satisfied with his performance.
He patted Liu Lu on the shoulder, "I didn't expect that you would accomplish another great feat so quickly. I thought you would waste some time."
Liu Lu laughed, "I am most familiar with those official roads. This guy doesn't dare to walk on the narrow roads. I will catch them accurately."
"You should stop running around now and rest at home for a few days. Sima Zhao's affairs don't need to be too urgent."
Liu Lu nodded, "Wei."
After seeing Liu Lu off, Cao Mao got on the carriage and hurriedly left Tai Chi Hall.
That's right, Cao Mao's destination this time is still the Chinese army camp.
In these days, the place Cao Mao visited most frequently was the Chinese army camp. Every time he went there, he would reward the outstanding ones.
Cao Mao made full use of his social madness and took the initiative to ask the names of the generals and get to know them. Sometimes, he would even chat with the soldiers.
Cao Mao's prestige in the Chinese army is getting higher and higher.
Every time the soldiers learned about the emperor's future, they were extremely excited and practiced very hard.
Cao Mao's behavior also made the ministers very unhappy.
He thought that Cao Mao was not doing his job properly and hung out with warriors all day long.
Cao Mao ignored these people. Today was a new round of competition between the Chinese army. He had previously promised everyone to go there in person. Even if Du Yu came, he could not delay this matter.
The arrival of the emperor greatly increased the value of this competition. The morale of the Chinese army was once again boosted, and the shouts of killing were deafening.
Malone stood not far away, nodding happily.
With the current morale, if he can lead his troops to the northwest, it should be a big shock to Jiang Wei of Shu, right? ?
