The car drove out of Xuanyuan Pass and headed east. Cao Pi was particularly excited because he saw the historical events in the books, while Cao Cao has been suppressing his excitement.

It takes half a mile to travel a hundred miles. As long as Liu Xie does not arrive at the palace in Xu County, Cao Cao will feel that there are still variables in his plan.

Cao Cao's caution is not without reason, because Yang Feng stationed in Liang County has already responded to this.

Yang Feng became furious when he learned that he had been deceived. He led a thousand troops to pursue Liu Xie's chariot, hoping to stop Cao Cao's plan to move the capital to Xu County.

Cao Cao listened to Dong Zhao's advice and set up an ambush in a valley where Yang Feng must pass. The commander of this ambush was Cao Ang, Cao Cao's eldest son.

Cao Pi and Cao Cao were riding in the same carriage, and they followed Liu Xie's carriage closely. Cao Cao kept his eyes fixed on the two emperors and empresses in front of him, with an unusually serious expression.

"Father, now that the big thing has happened, why are you so nervous?" Cao Pi asked puzzledly.

"It's not the good thing you did. If the courtiers see what you did in Xu County, I will be scolded to death by them." Cao Cao said angrily.

"Father, don't pay attention to these rotten scholars. If they dare to disobey, our army will not be polite to you." Cao Pi's fierce words showed confidence.

Cao Cao was very surprised when he saw Cao Pi's appearance. He really didn't like these nobles, and he didn't know what these nobles had done to make him so dissatisfied.

"But the emperor doesn't seem to be that simple. His behavior that day was very calm. It seems that he will not be easily manipulated by us." Cao Pi whispered, remembering the scene in Luoyang Palace.

"Our Majesty has a deep palace, so we should pay more attention to his actions in the future." Cao Cao nodded in agreement.

Xu County is only four hundred miles away from Luoyang, and it only takes one day to reach it, but it will only be a hardship for the ministers who are jolted in the carriage.

Cao Cao spent a huge sum of money to build the palace in Xu County for half a year. When Liu Xie saw the so-called palace, he even wanted to make Cao Cao a vassal king.

The Luoyang Palace in Liu Xie's memory was beautiful, and it was one of the few beautiful memories he had. He looked at the dragon-carved beams and couldn't calm down for a long time.

At the same time, the ministers arrived at their new residences, and they could not suppress their excitement. Several years of wandering made them cherish their current life.

……

Xu County was renamed Xuchang and became the new capital of the Han Dynasty. The old capital Luoyang, which had been in use for more than a hundred years, was officially abandoned. Cao Cao appointed himself as the general. Chun Yujia, Yang Biao, and Zhang Xi were originally the three princes.

They were all dismissed by Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao was quite dissatisfied when he learned that Cao Cao was catering to Liu Xie, and Cao Cao asked Liu Xie to give Yuan Shao an imperial edict in response.

The imperial edict mentioned that Yuan Shao had many soldiers in his territory, specializing in forming cliques and attacking without permission but not paying attention to the king. Yuan Shao was very angry when he saw the imperial edict and heard that Cao Cao became a general.

Yuan Shao refused Liu Xie's offer to make him a Taiwei and to be promoted to the title of Marquis of Ye. He wrote a self-defense letter full of resentment and sent it back to Xudu. At this moment, Cao Cao realized that he was a little too arrogant.

With the emperor in his hands, the general is just an empty figure, and the most important thing is the army, food, wealth and land.

At Xun You's suggestion, Cao Cao sent Kong Rong, a new Shaofu in Xudu, as an envoy to worship Yuan Shao as a general, and he was promoted to Sikong and Chariot and Cavalry General.

Only then did Yuan Shao accept the official position of general with satisfaction, and the fragile Yuan-Cao alliance could continue to be maintained.

Cao Cao did three major things during the period when he first established the new capital.

One is the farmland policy to stabilize domestic affairs.

People's settlements began to be implemented around Xudu. Because Cao Cao had learned from the success of the areas around Juancheng, Cao Cao took the policy of "cultivating and accumulating military resources" to the extreme. The method of settlement was promoted throughout the territory and accommodated many refugees.

These refugees have settled down near Xudu, and Yuzhou's agriculture is gradually returning to normal. Large-scale population growth has brought commercial prosperity to Xudu.

The second was to repel Yang Feng and Han Xian who were entrenched in Liang County.

Cao Ang took the lead in this battle and gained a great reputation. The defeated Yang and Feng had no choice but to seek refuge with Yuan Shu who was far away in Shouchun. After Cao Cao took over Liang County, he completely eliminated the threats around Xudu.

Third, Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion began to recruit talents.

In addition to counselors such as Guo Jia and Xun You who joined in advance, a large number of scholars went to Xudu and became Cao Cao's vassals. Cao Cao gradually began his own hegemony in the name of Emperor Liu Xie.

Cao Cao was happy, but Cao Pi was not.

These courtiers were extremely angry after learning about the establishment of Xudu University and Luban Factory, especially the existence of a medical school that they could not imagine.

The courtiers had forgotten Cao Cao's gift of a house. They and the nobles in Xudu jointly issued a petition to persuade Liu Xie. They hoped that these things that threatened their foundation could be cancelled, but Liu Xie just smiled bitterly after seeing these petitions.

Endless.

The so-called private schools that go against the decisions of your ancestors are beyond your control at all. If you have the guts, why don't you go to Cao Cao?

Seeing that the emperor refused to express his position, the courtiers came in groups to the factory gate and the school gate to cause trouble and protest. Cao Pi gritted his teeth with hatred when he saw these people acting as if they had a grudge against him for killing his father.

"Such demagoguery must be dismantled!"

"Doctors are just poor people, so it is ridiculous to establish a school with such despicable techniques!"

"We have painstakingly studied the classics and history for so many years, how can we let these chaotic studies corrupt the orthodoxy of Confucianism!"

Cao Pi escaped the crowd and returned to Sikong Mansion. This doubled-sized mansion was not only the residence of Cao Cao's relatives, but also the official residence of the political group headed by Cao Cao.

"Father, these corrupt scholars have already blocked the entrance of our university. Why don't you send troops to drive them away." Cao Pi said angrily when he saw the relaxed Cao Cao.

"Our university? Isn't this the private school established by Wenchao, Yuan Rang and you? Why do you come to me?" Cao Cao said innocently.

"The students in the university will be the talents that my father needs in the future. How can my father ignore them?" Cao Pi said reluctantly.

"This matter... Well, Fengxiao is here. I have something important to discuss with you... Zihuan, you can figure this out yourself." Cao Cao pulled Guo Jia aside and pretended to be serious.

Said.

Guo Jia's timely appearance ended the dialogue between father and son. Cao Pi despised Cao Cao's behavior of only wanting to profit without taking responsibility, and it was even more shameful to use his own son and brother as a shield.

A black face and a black heart!

Cao Pi reluctantly left home. After thinking for a long time, he came to Cao Song's mansion. Cao De was pouring out his bitterness to Cao Song in the courtyard. After listening carefully, Cao Pi realized that Cao De had also been rejected by Cao Cao.

"How could Mengde do this?" Cao Song was very dissatisfied after hearing Cao Pi's tearful cry. He decided to seek an explanation for his beloved grandson.

Accompanied by Cao Song, Cao Pi returned home proudly. Cao Cao smiled bitterly when he saw his father coming.

"Father, if I come forward, I will definitely be scolded by these courtiers. Everything in Xindu is not stable yet, and those courtiers can't make any trouble anyway, so why not let them make trouble." Cao Cao said helplessly.

"There are many students from our Cao family among them. Even if those courtiers dare not scold my father in public, they have scolded him thousands of times in their hearts, so my father no longer has to worry about these reputations. Anyone who achieves great things will be free.

Small section." With Cao Song's blessing, Cao Pi became more confident in speaking.

"You have the most evil ideas, so tell me how I can get rid of them?" Cao Cao said helplessly. It wasn't that he was concerned about his reputation, he just had some unspeakable secrets that he couldn't talk to others about.

"Father only needs to ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict..." Cao Pi said with a smile.

Cao Song and Cao De took a breath when they heard Cao Pi's words, but Cao Pi didn't care. He knew that Cao Cao had done this kind of thing recently, not just once or twice.

Cao Pi actually couldn't understand why Cao Cao was so timid. When he wanted to implement farming and military strategies, Cao Cao was just the governor of a state, and the constraints of the gentry would make Cao Cao cautious.

But now Cao Cao is already an absolutely powerful minister who holds real power and controls the emperor, and the fate of the Yanzhou nobles serves as a warning. Aren't these courtiers killed by Cao Cao in history? What on earth is Cao Cao afraid of?

Cao Cao has a complicated heart. He is afraid that if he is too strong, he will become the second Dong Zhuo to be attacked by the princes. Cao Cao is hesitant because he is still exploring the delicate balance between himself and the Han Dynasty...

Cao Cao has seen too many people fall from high places, and he is trying his best to prevent his hard-won achievements from turning into bubbles.

"I'm going to find the emperor...and Dong Cheng." Cao Cao said after pondering for a while.

Cao Pi was finally reassured when he saw that Cao Cao had changed. It is indeed difficult for the Cao Cao who was decisive and decisive in history to overlap with the current Cao Cao who is foresight and foresight.

The next day, Emperor Liu Xie issued an edict confirming the legality of Xudu University and Luban Factory, but he also limited the upper limit of the number of students and the scale of the expansion of the school. These were all decided after Cao Cao and Dong Cheng discussed.

After the ministers saw Cao Cao's concession, they stopped making trouble. Now they have achieved their expected goals, and Xudu University is finally peaceful...

And Liu Xie, who was lying on the dragon bed, had already begun to worry about his future.

Cao Cao is another Dong Zhuo! Xu Du is another prison!
