Five days later.
Xudu Wei Palace.
Cao Cao knelt in a small pavilion in the plum blossom forest.
At this time, in the middle of winter, Cao Cao was wearing a black Xuanyi and a black mink on his shoulders, and in front of him, there was a food collapse, on which there was a pot of boiling wine, and a plate of steaming venison had been served in a wine bottle.
Drinking a little wine, the heavy snow falling like goose feathers outside the small pavilion covered the ground and trees with a layer of snow skin.
Such an elegant scene, paired with small wine venison, made Cao Cao, who had gray hair, feel the urge to recite poetry for a while.
"Snow pressure plum in front of the pavilion" Just when Cao Cao wanted to continue reciting poetry, Xu Zhu came over from behind.
He was dressed in black armor, but he was weighed down by a thick layer of snow, but he felt like he was wearing white armor.
"King, there's news from Xu Du."
Cao Cao put down the black wine bottle and asked softly, "What news?"
"About the crown prince, there is also news about Zhang Fan and Zhang Cheng."
"Oh" Cao Cao nodded lightly, and then looked at Xu Zhu.
"Zhang Fan Zhang Cheng offended the prince in the court" Xu Zhu nodded, but finally shook his head.
"The king should look at this bamboo slip."
As he spoke, Xu Zhu handed over the bamboo slip.
Taking the bamboo slip, Cao Cao read the contents of it, and his face changed slightly.
"This Cangshu, with the help of road construction money, is really domineering, but this Fan is so stupid that he didn't see the prince's intentions."
Hearing that Cao Cao felt a little sorry for Zhang Fan, Xu Zhu rolled his eyes and said to Cao Cao: "By the way, the king, Zhang Fan also sent a letter, I don't know if the king will read it or not."
Cao Cao glanced at Xu Zhu sideways, but he didn't say anything, but the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"Show me."
Xu Zhu lowered his head very low, and handed over the bamboo slips in his cuffs with both hands.
Taking Zhang Fan's bamboo slip, Cao Cao gently opened him.
After a while, Cao Cao put down the bamboo slip with an expressionless face.
"King, this" "Xu Zhu, although this Fan has something to do with you, you don't forget your identity."
Being said by Cao Cao, of course Xu Zhu didn't dare to speak anymore.
Pick up the decanter in your hand and swallow the hot wine in one gulp.
"Zhang Fan has worked hard for Wei Guo, it's time to take a break, as for Zhang Cheng, since he is wrong, then admit it, although the land of Liaodong is cold, it is not a place to exercise people" Looking at Xu Zhu, who lowered his head deeply, Cao Cao waved his hand, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.
"Let's go, I'll tell Zhang Fan what I mean, he should know what I mean."
"No" Xu Zhu saluted, turned around and walked back.
Filling the empty wine bottle again, Cao Cao interestingly picked up a piece of venison, his eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time his mouth began to chant poetry.
"The snow in front of the pavilion presses the plum, and the floating clouds cover it" Three days later.
Yecheng, Zhang Fan's mansion.
Looking at the soldiers in front of him with a frozen red face, Zhang Fan, who was in a thick Confucian robe, said to the steward behind him: "Send him in to entertain him and give him more money." ” "No" The soldier saluted Zhang Fan and followed the steward in.
After everyone left, the originally calm complexion on Zhang Fan's face suddenly became a little hideous.
In the end, it can only be reduced to a sigh.
"Uncle, why are you sighing, but there is news from Xu Duna" The man who spoke was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, he was more than six feet tall, and although he was dressed in Confucian clothes, he was strong and looked not like a scholar, but like a general.
"Jian'er, you don't warm up the book in the room, come out and do something" "The child saw a voice outside the door and knew that Xu had news coming, so he came out to take a look."
This Zhang Jian is the son of Zhang Cheng, the Taishou of Zhao County, although he is only sixteen years old, he has martial arts, and his knowledge is also good, so he has not insulted the prestige of the Zhang family.
"Xu Du does have news."
Hearing this, Zhang Jian's face showed curiosity.
"What the King Says" "The king wants me to live and cultivate at home, and as for your father, he is still exiled to Liaodong."
"That's what the king said" According to Zhang Jian's understanding of Cao Cao, he didn't expect this to be the result.
"Uncle has gone to plead with the king" Zhang Fan sighed.
"I'm pleading, but now that I think about it, I shouldn't have left your father's business in mind."
Zhang Jian was stunned.

"Uncle means" "The prince wants to be powerful, our family just got up, Jian'er, I'm going to send you to the palace, so that I can find a way back for my Zhang family."
Sent to the womb "But my father is a sinner after all."
Zhang Fan shook his head lightly and said: "This is not a criminal minister, but he doesn't know the current affairs, the prince doesn't hate our Zhang family, he just makes people make people, but let our Zhang family be a scapegoat, if you go to the palace, I'm afraid the prince will also show something." ” Sending Zhang Jian to the palace is not only the Zhang family's attitude towards the prince, but also a step down for the prince.
It's a win-win situation for both parties.
Sending Zhang Jian to the Taiwo, on the one hand, was a show of weakness by the Zhang family, and on the other hand, it was also to tell Cao Chong that the Zhang family did not hold a grudge against him.
If the dignified prince, the future King of Wei, and even the emperor hate the Zhang family, I am afraid that this Zhang family will have no future.
The emperor wants your family to be ruined, sometimes you don't need to do it yourself, you just need to show that you have this intention and someone will do it for him.
Although Cao Chong is not an emperor now, there are countless people who want to be Cao Chong's arm.
The Zhang family is also one of them.
"No" Zhang Jian's eyes flickered, if he could enter the palace of the prince and contact the prince in advance, maybe he would be able to rank as the third prince in the future.
I heard that the crown prince is an enterprising person and has also made military achievements, and it would be even better if he could lead troops to fight.
Zhang Jian thought.
The news of Zhang Jian's entry into the palace quickly reached Cao Chong's ears, and Cao Chong was of course clear in his heart about Zhang Fan's meaning, and the Zhang family was nothing to him.
Now there are only two forces in the court that can really threaten Cao Chong, one is the clan relative, and the other is the Yingchuan clan.
The previous clan had Cao Cao, and they didn't dare to go wild at all, and the latter Yingchuan clan was inextricably linked with themselves, as long as they weren't stupid, they would naturally not be enemies with themselves.
Of course, not necessarily when some of their policies threaten them.
However, by the time Cao Chong began to do something to them, he would not be afraid of the Yingchuan clan.
Zhang Jian was randomly arranged in a position, and Cao Chong began the next step of the layout.
The best of the five piles of bamboo slips has been prepared.
Next, there are three other piles.
Of these three piles, some have short roads, some are corrupt, some are after the clan, and some are children of the family.
Cao Chong planned to give them another month, and after a month, if there were still people among these people who regarded their words as wind in their ears, and the fate of these twelve Taishou had not yet scared them, then Cao Chong could only think that they didn't take themselves seriously at all.
If this is the case, Cao Chong will personally make them feel awe, even fear, for him.
When Cao Chong's operation was completed, the main road of Wei was completed, and Cao Chong's image in the hearts of the relatives and ministers of Wei State may no longer be the original Marquis of Luoyang.
It's a prince with an ánbg in hand.
He is the future king of Wei.
Only by doing this can Cao Chong better control the Wei State.
It was only after a hundred years of Cao Cao that he could realize his ambitions If you want to manage a group of people, you have to make them fearful first, and then give grace
