Cao Mao was sitting in the Tai Chi Hall, and every day there were snowflakes flying in here, almost drowning him.
These memorials were sent by ministers from various places, who updated the emperor on the status of officials in various places in a timely manner.
Seeing these memorials, Cao Mao was so angry that he almost jumped up even though he had expected it.
The local administrative situation was worse than Cao Mao thought.
To say that they have wine bags and rice bags is to praise them. They are simply a group of beasts governing the counties and counties of the Wei Dynasty on behalf of the temple.
With a dark face, Cao Mao once again read the memorial sent today.
"Your Majesty, have something to eat."
Mr. Xu smiled and brought the food to Cao Mao. Cao Mao glanced at the food in front of him and narrowed his eyes, "Yancheng cuisine, cooked by Mrs. Zheng?"
"She arranged for someone to do it."
Cao Mao said nothing and quickly finished the meal in front of him.
Mr. Xu talked about many situations in the harem, including the fact that Zheng Xian had been running to Queen Mother Guo all day recently, and the relationship between the two had been eased.
Cao Mao was a little surprised, but he didn't pay much attention.
Empress Dowager Guo's affairs are no longer that important. Cao Mao is now increasingly busy, and his daily schedule is almost full. He has no time to coax the Empress Dowager, especially now, when big things are being done in the temple.
After Cao Mao finished his meal, he took a car and left Tai Chi Hall.
His destination is Shangshutai.
Today, a new official from Shangshutai has arrived, and it is necessary for King Cao Mao to go and pay a visit in person.
When the emperor's carriage stopped outside the Chancellery, the officials rushed out to greet it, led by Xun Yi and Chen Tai.
Chen Tai's appointment and dismissal was simpler than Cao Mao thought. In a very short period of time, the ministers approved his appointment and dismissal, and he jumped up and became the right servant of the Wei Dynasty.
Follow Xun Yi to take care of the matters at the Chancellor's desk.
Xun Yi was both happy and worried about this situation.
Fortunately, Chen Tai's attitude was very humble, and he was very polite to other colleagues, and even more so to Xun Yi, which made Xun Yi lower his guard.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!!"
Everyone bowed and met.
Cao Mao went to greet them with a smile, and his attitude was very enthusiastic. Many ministers in the Chancery and their ministers felt the emperor's kindness.
Xun Yi led Cao Mao inside, and then many ministers took their seats.
Cao Mao looked at the people in front of him who really governed the Wei Dynasty, and he said: "I came here today specifically to reward the Dukes. The prosperity of the Wei Dynasty is all due to the efforts of the Dukes."
"I dare not take credit!"
Cao Mao chatted with them cordially, asking about their situation one by one, greeting their families, and being approachable. After chatting for a long time, Cao Mao just let them go about their own affairs.
When the ministers stood up, Cao Mao grabbed Chen Tai again and began to tell him to work hard.
The ministers did not dare to stay any longer and left separately.
However, Cao Mao took Chen Tai with him and started wandering around the minister's desk.
The two of them walked here talking and laughing, pointing at the ministers in the distance from time to time and asking questions with a smile. Chen Tai lowered his head and answered, while Cao Mao nodded with satisfaction.
This scene is so picturesque that everyone in the Chancellor's Desk is working even harder.
But this was just because they didn't hear the specific conversation between the two.
Cao Mao pointed to a minister in the distance with a smile and asked Chen Tai: "Who can take over Yuan Liang's position?"
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"He doesn't know etiquette, let alone education. I think Wei Shu can replace him."
"Indeed."
"Mr. Chen doesn't know something. This person deserves to be killed."
Cao Mao said with a smile: "It was he who instigated Guo Zhang to show up earlier. He was still dealing with Feng Fu and others in private, and wanted to deny my orthodoxy by convicting the general!"
Chen Tai was stunned. He didn't know how the Emperor knew these things, but it seemed that the Emperor knew those people very well. He even knew exactly what they were plotting recently.
Cao Mao continued: "It is my fault that such incompetent, mediocre, stupid, and evil people fill the Chancellor's desk."
"They must be replaced one by one. Let me tell you the truth. Except for you, everyone else in this office can be dealt with. There will definitely be no one who is unjust."
"However, they are too powerful to attack rashly. We can only defeat them one by one."
"Let's start with Yuan Liang first. His position is too important. As the Minister, he can be changed to the Ministry of Rites. This time Wei Gong will go to various places to inspect, and he will definitely make a contribution. Then Wei Gong can replace him."
Chen Tai nodded, "That's right."
Yuan Liang, who was pretending to discuss important matters with the officials in the distance, saw the emperor pointing at him several times with a smile on his face. Chen Tai on the side was still nodding, and he felt even more happy.
Could it be that Mr. Nai is about to be promoted? !

Cao Mao then talked about the other ministers and ministers.
Cao Mao was very aware of their crimes, and even knew what they said after drinking yesterday. Chen Tai lowered his head.
Cao Mao discussed future employment arrangements with Chen Tai, and then asked: "Mr. Chen, what do you think the Secretariat should do now?"
"Your Majesty, the first thing to do is to cure the benign man."
"Um??"
Cao Mao looked at Chen Tai in shock.
Hu people? Their rebellion happened decades later. Why did they say they wanted to control the barbarians?
Chen Tai frowned and said seriously: "Your Majesty does not know something. I am in Yongzhou and administering the place. Due to years of war, Yongliang has been seriously damaged. Many people live together with barbarians, and both the customs and styles have become worse. Facing the barbarians, this is something that the temple cannot take lightly!"
"Deng Gong once reported to the general that the Qiang, Xianbei and Wei people in the frontier fortress were living together, and the people in Yongliang and other places were increasingly leaning towards Hu Feng and gradually separated from the jurisdiction of the temple."
"The situation in Yongliang and even Bingyou is becoming more and more serious. The Hu people are becoming more and more powerful, but the temples lack the fear of them and the means to govern them, and they always look down upon them."
"The general attached great importance to this and asked the border guards to separate them and organize the Qiang and Hu into households so that they could understand the teachings of honesty and shame. But this matter did not last long. Your Majesty, this problem has just arisen. It’s not the worst yet, but if we don’t think of ways to deal with it now, it won’t be that easy to manage it once they form a climate.”
Cao Mao was shocked.
This guy can do it.
If you go out and tell others now that the barbarians are planning to rebel, you will probably be laughed at.
Although the Three Kingdoms have entered the stage of competition, it is not something that the barbarians can talk about. The Shu Han brings the Qiang and Hu to attack Cao Wei every year, and Cao Wei can attack Cao Wei without fail. If the barbarians in the northeastern peninsula dare to provoke, Guanqiu Jian will go directly there. Destroy the country.
Not to mention Wei, even Shu, whose national power was relatively weak, would only be a dimensionality-reducing blow to the barbarians on the frontier.
The same goes for Wu.
Therefore, they did not think that the Hu people were a big problem at all. Both Cao Wei and Shu Han liked to use Hu mercenaries, including Cao Mao's central army, which actually had Hu cavalry.
This is an old tradition from the Han Dynasty. The tradition of using barbarian cavalry in the Han Dynasty can be traced back to the meeting of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
But Chen Tai could actually sense something was wrong.
This is something that will only happen in the next few decades.
Deng Ai even wrote earlier than him?
It was thanks to Master Sima that he accepted his advice. If it were his other successors, Deng Ai would laugh to death.
Chen Tai looked at the emperor's disbelieving eyes and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I am not just talking nonsense. The situation at this frontier is really not like what the officials said."
"Mr. Chen, you don't need to explain, I understand what you said."
"Since you have spoken, it must be the truth. I know who you are as a person and your talents. You will not say anything without a reason."
"Just handle these big things according to your ideas."
At this moment, Chen Tai was really moved indescribably. Even Master Sima had never given Chen Tai such trust.
He hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
Cao Mao smiled and helped him up, "There are many traitors in the temple, but there are still wise men like you. This is why I dare to succeed my ancestors and believe that I can live up to them."
Cao Mao's one-day trip to the Chancellor's Desk was over and he left here.
Many officials in the Chancery also left afterwards.
When Yuan Liang returned to the mansion, familiar old friends were waiting for him.
"Mr. He, why are you here?"
Yuan Liang hurriedly greeted the visitor, and replied with a smile: "In the past few days, I didn't have much fun drinking with you. There were always outsiders present. Today, I came to your mansion specifically just to drink with you alone!" "
Yuan Liang hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare meals, took He Zeng's hand, and came to the inner room together.
Never have I been exhausted these days.
Following the emperor's edict, he frequently communicated with these ministers in the temple through Feng Fulai. He was famous and not very shameful, and he quickly established good friendships with these people.
He even became the small leader of these anti-Cao Mao gangs. Many people hoped that he could come forward to oust the emperor again and let him serve as Shangshu Ling.
Regarding the thoughts of the ministers, He Zeng could only say that they thought too much.
However, He Zeng also became the emperor's important spy. With his help, the emperor was well aware of the movements of these people.
"Hahaha, you don't know something about your Majesty's visit today. His Majesty looked at me doing things several times and nodded one after another. I think your Majesty has discovered my talents and is ready to reuse me."
Hearing Yuan Liang's words, He Zeng almost laughed out loud.
Yes, yes, yes, reuse, absolutely reuse.
They all specially sent people to ask me to collect evidence. It seems that it is probably the treatment that Tingwei and Yushitai jointly dealt with.
Not many people can get such treatment, it can definitely be regarded as reuse.
Where do these idiots have the courage to go against His Majesty? ?
