Chapter 15 Cao Shou forced to marry

Zheng Qingfeng rushed in a hurry and did not meet a person who was known as a noble person, so he couldn't help but stop. The direction he was heading was the same as Zhou Yang, but after many twists and turns, Zhou Yang had already gone far.

With Zhou Yang's eyes, if he sees Zheng Qing, he will definitely attract attention. Unfortunately, the two missed each other.

Noble, nobility, where is the noble? Zheng Qing dared not doubt the old man's words, so he looked at the bamboo slip in his hand. Could it be that the owner of this bamboo slip is a noble?

This is reasonable. It is a matter of writing such a strategy to defeat the Huns, which is a talented man of a generation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a noble man. Although Master Yan is so poor that he has no food to eat, can he be driven out with his talent?

Even if you don’t mention wealth and honor, you can make friends and talk to such a talented person, which is a great pleasure in life.

But, the sea of ​​people is vast, where can we find it? Who would write the word "noble person" on your face?

Zheng Qing looked through the bamboo slips, feeling very sorry, so he carefully put them in his arms and walked back.

When I returned to Cao's mansion, the soldiers rushed forward: "Zheng Qing, why have you been back in half a day? The Marquis has been looking for you for a long time. You have been out in the past and will be back soon, why don't you come back today?"

Zheng Qing and Gongjin used to go out and always return on time, but they did not encounter such a strange thing as today. Today, this is a strange thing. One is to pick up the bamboo slips of Master Yan, and the other is to meet an old man looking at his face. How can the time not last long after this?

"Hurry up, go prepare the car, the marquis is going to enter the palace." The soldier urged.

Zheng Qing shouted and ran into the mansion to prepare the car. After preparing the car, Cao Shou got on the carriage. Zheng Qing drove the carriage straight to Weiyang Palace.

Near Dong City, there is a huge manor guarded by soldiers. This is the manor of King Liang in Chang'an, which covers a very wide area and is more than three points larger than the Marquis' Mansion in Zhouyang.

He is the younger brother of Emperor Jing, Empress Dowager Dou's heart. It goes without saying that the manor is so big, grand and luxurious.

Han Anguo was gasping for breath and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he was greeted by the soldiers.

"Mr. Han, you are just back now. The prince is looking for you!" The soldier stepped forward to greet him.

"Oh!" Han Anguo took a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This job of chasing people was not that easy to do. With his skills, he actually had sweat.

Zheng Qing won’t say that he is also a poor man. If he catches up with Zhufu Yan, at most he will solve the problem of food and clothing.

Han Anguo is the domestic history of Liang. If King Liang catches up with him, not only will the problem of food and clothing be solved, but he will also make a fortune. Han Anguo chased him hard, but he did not catch up. He can only say that God will do anything to others, and Lord Yan will still have to live a poor and poor life.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Han Anguo quickly stepped into the mansion and headed straight to the front hall where King Liang was.

At this time, King Liang was standing high on the main position, with Sima Xiangru, Zhuang Ji, Mei Cheng, Yang Sheng, Gongsun Gui and others having a banquet. The first person on the right was placed with wine and food, but there was no one, and that was left for Han Anguo.

Han Anguo was deeply trusted by King Liang and was also a hero of King Liang's suppression of the rebellion in the Seven Kingdoms. Although he was not there, his seat must be left.

Han Anguo rushed in quickly. When King Liang saw this, he was filled with joy: "Han Anguo, where have you been? He was sweating all over his head. Did he go to Yaoyue Tower?"

Han Anguo was talented, but he had a shortcoming that he liked women. It is said that he was a master of yin and yang cultivation, and was very good at fighting and was very pleased with women. King Liang made fun of this.

"hehe!"

Many of the people in the audience knew Han Anguo's goodness and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"King, I will pursue a talent for helping the world for the king." Han Anguo stepped forward and saluted, slightly panting.

"Talents who can help the world?" King Liang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "There are few talents in the world. How can Lord Han say this? How can you say this than you?"

"Ten times better than me, no, a hundred times!" Han Anguo did not hesitate to demote himself.

He was the guest of the throne of Liang, and his talent was the number one person in the Liang Palace. It was really surprising that he reduced his identity so much. King Liang had a thick eyebrows, his tiger's eyes shone brightly, his body leaned forward, and asked, "Is there really such a person?"

"Please look at it, king!" Han Anguo took out the bamboo slips of Master Yan and presented them to King Liang.

King Liang grabbed it, and after a look, he stood up suddenly, looking surprised: "State border? Strange craft! Strange craft!"

He praised Sima Xiangru, Zhuang Ji, Mei Cheng, Yang Sheng, Gongsun Gui, and could not understand why they could only open their eyes wide.

"What's this person's name?" King Liang asked, his tiger's eyes shining brightly.

"Report to the king, I call him Lord Yan." Han Anguo thought for a while and said, "This man is a poor man who lives in an inn and owes three months of money for a house. He drove him out. The shop owner had not received the house and was angry, so he threw his advice on the street. When I passed by, I picked up this slip."

"Are the famous scholars so in such a way?" King Liang sighed and sat down: "Is it a pity for recruiting talents, and most famous scholars in the world are attached to the orphans. Why don't he come to be an orphan? With his talent, how can the orphans lose him?"

He sighed for a while and raised the bamboo slips in his hand: "Zhufu Yan thought that the Han Dynasty was vast and sparsely populated, and it was inconvenient to deal with the Huns. People should be drawn from the mainland and asked them to live in the north. The court reduced the money and grain to help them establish a business in the border. In this way, within ten years, the border would have doubled its population and abundant resources. The money and grain required by the army would not have to be transported from the mainland. In this way, the transportation costs were reduced, which was a clever strategy!"

"What the king said is only one advantage, and the second advantage." Han Anguo then analyzed: "The number of people at the border has increased, and the people are prosperous. The Han Dynasty used this as a basis to attack Hetao, attack Longcheng directly, and attack the north of the Mo, and all gained the benefits!"

At that time, the economic center of the Han Dynasty was mainly in Guanzhong and the Central Plains. The economy in the north was very underdeveloped and was regarded as a bitter and cold place. This place was the forefront of the war with the Huns, and the cost was huge. Food, grass and weapons had to be transported from the mainland. Not to mention anything else, the cost of transportation alone was an astonishing number.

If you immigrate to the border and migrate a large number of people in the north, reclaim the land, have abundant resources, food, grass, and weapons, and do not need to be allocated from the mainland. This alone will save a lot of money.

Not to mention, we can also use this as a base as a springboard to attack Mobei.

In history, the Northland is just a springboard. The stronger the springboard, the more beneficial it is to deal with the nomadic peoples in the north. This has been confirmed by countless history.

In order to create this springboard, the Han Dynasty adopted a strategy to implement borders. Jia Yi and Chao Cuo, and they all had policy arguments on this aspect, which played a major role in the Han Dynasty's implementation of borders to implement borders.

However, compared to the contributions of Master Yan in this area, it is much worse. Master Yan’s most famous strategy is the “Grace Reward Order”. A soft knife made the princes lose their temper and were weak from then on and could no longer fight against the court. Some people believe that if Master Yan’s Grace Reward Order was introduced earlier, there would be no “Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms”.

Chao Cuo advocated the reduction of the vassal states, which was right. However, he was somewhat tempted in his strategy, which aroused the rebellion of the seven kingdoms. The Lord's father Yan recommended the grace order, and the princes became weaker and had no more weapons, which became a strange strategy that has been passed down through the ages.

Zhufu Yan's contribution was far more than this. He worked hard to implement border policies in immigrants and made great contributions. He built the Hetao land and built Shuofang City in Hetao. He first advocated his proposal and had a far-reaching impact.

After Wei Qing captured Hetao, the whole country was joking. Master Yan had already foresaw the importance of Hetao and proposed to build a city there. At that time, there was a lot of opposition, and Prime Minister Gongsun Hong even repeatedly opposed this, which made Emperor Wu of Han even unaware of how to make a decision.

The master Yan asked Gongsun Hong nine questions in one breath, and Gongsun Hong had no words to answer. This was the very famous "The master Yan's nine difficulties in Gongsun Hong" in history. It was finally decided to build Shuofang City.

The construction of Shuofang City has had a great influence in history. It is not just the base of the strong Han army attacking Mobei. Without Shuofang City, it would be difficult to initiate a decisive battle in Mobei. It is also because later generations have always imitated this method and built cities on the border, which has played an irreplaceable role in deterring Mobei.

As for the practical border strategy, it has been used in later generations, and it is still used now, but the method has changed.

King Liang praised Zhufu Yan again and again, and he deserved it.

"If this strategy is done, why should the Huns be afraid?" King Liang stared at the bamboo slips and sighed: "Compared with this person, Xuchang, Zhuang Qingzhai, Dou Ying, and Zhou Liezui are just pigs and dogs, and they only cost the court's money and food! Oh, Zhou Liezui is good for fighting."

"King, if you get help from this person and make Zhou Yang's favor again, the king's affairs will be accomplished!" Han Anguo waved his right hand heavily down, and he exerted forcefully.

"Oh!" King Liang was always thinking about fighting for the throne and becoming the emperor. When he heard this, his spirit suddenly became: "Although this person is very talented, he is a famous man after all, and he can be grateful for his heart with just one kindness. The person who came, took the painter and went to the inn, asked the shop to tell him his appearance and look for his figure, and the whole city looked for the Lord's Father Yan."

Yang Sheng and Gong Gui were surprised by Mo Ming. They have been following King Liang for many years, but they have never seen King Liang recruit talents so much. Is this Lord Father Yan really capable?

"The king is wise!" Han Anguo bowed his fists.

"Haha! Talents must be recruited. If Emperor Gaozu had no three heroes, how could he kill the tyrant Qin and make peace in the world?" King Liang was very happy and frowned with a thick eyebrows: "This master Yan Gu is not worried, but how can Zhou Yang make good things? Gu has to kill him several times! How could he go on a hurry? Gu is not scheming and difficult to deal with than Zhou Lie. If he had known this, why would Gu have to..."

No one understands the following words, that is, if you had known that Zhou Yang was so capable, why would you have to make enemies with Zhou Yang? Such talents should be won over and made friends.

Zhou Yang used his troops in a strange way. If he got the help of Master Yan, he would be a martial arts man and a martial arts man, and he would have his left arm and right arm. Wouldn't that be a good thing?

"Master, can this be so." Han Anguo whispered in King Liang's ear for a while.

Weiyang Palace, Yangxin Palace. Emperor Jing's Yanju suit was very relaxed, and he sat opposite the middle-aged man.

"What do you say, sir?" Emperor Jing's bright tiger eyes swept over the middle-aged man.

"Report to the emperor, sir, sir, sir, have understood the emperor's intention. If we really get that step, our family will help you." The middle-aged man replied truthfully.

"That's good!" Emperor Jing was relieved: "There are many strange changes in the world, and no one can control it, and even I can't. If the famous scholar dies, wouldn't it be regrettable? If you have this from the wise man, why should I worry?"

"If the emperor is so dedicated, this generation should be grateful." The middle-aged man was very moved.

"What else do you have to say, sir?" Emperor Jing asked again.

"Mr. said that now the Han Dynasty is winning a lot and the situation is very good, and it is time to change the court." The middle-aged man conveyed the words of the Mr.

"I mean that. If the Huns hadn't been invading and disrupted my plans, the big thing would have been settled." Emperor Jing's eyebrows were elusive: "Now, I just happened to solve this problem. A stone blocked the road, and other stones had no way to get in. I kicked off the stone first, and other stones would appear. I kicked off these stones one by one and put a piece of beautiful jade on it."

"The emperor is wise." A middle-aged man flattered in a manner: "Mr.'s intention is not only that. Mr. said that if he wants to fight with the Huns, there are many ministers in the court. If a man without talent is listed in the court, even if the Han Dynasty defeats the Huns, it will not last long."

"What is the most important? Talents are the most important!" Emperor Jing agreed with this: "If Emperor Gaozu had no Zifang, and talents such as Xiao He, Huaiyin, Chen Ping, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo complemented each other, how could he punish the tyrannical Qin and conquer the world? If you say war, Zhou Yang is not a problem. Besides, Li Guang and Cheng do not know these famous generals to support each other, I will not worry. However, when the civil officials talked about the Huns, they would talk about it. If they didn't replace them, how could they defeat the Huns? I want to recruit talents!"

"Your Majesty!" The middle-aged man bowed respectfully and said nothing.

Doing this is more sincere than a saint and wise man, Emperor Jing smiled.

"Emperor, Marquis of Pingyang is asking for a meeting!" Chuntuo quickly came over and reported to Emperor Jing.

"Master Pingyang?" Emperor Jing frowned and felt a little surprised: "What are he here to do? This Marquis's illness has worsened and he is asking for medicine? I will order Mr. Cang to take his pulse."

"The emperor doesn't look like it." Chuntuo hesitated slightly and said his heart: "He seems to be better than before, as if there is something happy."

"Oh!" Emperor Jing was very surprised. He waved his hand and the middle-aged man bowed and said, "Call him in."

"No!" Chuntuo responded and went to pass the message.

Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at the door of the hall. Cao Shou was quickly coming under Chuntuo's guidance. This sick marquis was sick and pale, as if he was about to be buried at any time. But today, he was different, his face was blushing and energetic, as if his illness had been cured, if he had not been slightly gasping for breath.

"My minister, Cao Shou, see the emperor!" Cao Shou gave a great gift to Emperor Jing.

"Flat!" Emperor Jing pointed at the few shorts in front of him and said, "Sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Shou lifted his robe sleeve and knelt down.

"Marty Pingyang, what's the matter with you seeing me today?" Emperor Jing asked.

"Emperor, I have a proposal and want to give advice to the emperor. I don't know if the emperor can agree to me." Cao Shou said carefully, with sweat stains on his forehead.

"What's the matter? It makes you sweat?" Emperor Jing's eyes were even more strange: "Tell me."

"I am talking nonsense, and the emperor can listen to it if he can." Cao Shou took a deep breath and said excitedly: "Emperor, the establishment of the Han Dynasty is full of power as a hero. Emperor Gaozu gave titles and rewarded land to ensure the hearts of a hero. The emperor inherited the great throne and had a great reputation. Have he ever felt the hearts of a hero?"

"This..." Emperor Jing really stopped him and could not answer. He was stunned for a while and asked, "Marquis Pingyang, you are confident in saying this? Tell me, how should I calm down the hearts of heroes."

"No!" The word "No!" was extremely high-pitched. If Cao Shou hadn't been right in front of him, Emperor Jing really didn't believe that this was said from the mouth of the sick marquis: "Your Majesty, I think that there are many ways to be a hero, and you don't have to give a fief. You can give me some medicine and ask from time to time..."

This method is a very good idea. Emperor Jing nodded and secretly praised Cao Shou as Cao Shen's grandson, who has the style of being the ancestor and has wise plans.
