Chapter 602: Telepathy Comes From Afar
Before we knew it, it was the end of the year. Cao Cao walked in front with Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others, followed by a 10,000 army slowly towards Chang'an City.
They came not to attack Chang'an, but to welcome the emperor to return to Luoyang.
Once a person is in a high position and becomes a overlord, he will be suspicious. This is an inevitable thing. Not only Cao Cao is suspicious, but no one in power will fully trust others.
Cao Cao was suspicious, for sure. But there was one person he would believe unconditionally, that was Chen Yanzhi.
Chen Yanzhi's martial arts, literary talent, knowledge and virtue are all impeccable. He cannot find out his shortcomings by criticizing Chen Yanzhi with the standards of a saint. Such a character is perfect.
If Chen Yanzhi was greedy for power and used his ability to play the trick of "using the emperor to command the princes", I believe that the entire Han Dynasty would fall into Chen Yanzhi's hands.
A person who is not greedy for power.
Cao Cao had no reason not to believe it.
Cao Cao believed Chen Yanzhi very much, but Xun Yu and Guo Jia could not do this. They secretly sent messages to the generals. When they arrived in Chang'an, they immediately broke through the siege and took their lord back to Luoyang.
Xun Yu and Guo Jia were sitting in the same carriage.
Xun Yu said, "Wangxiao, do you think there are really people in the world who are as perfect as the ancient sages? Chen Yanzhi's approach and ideas cannot be guessed by ordinary people at all. You and I work under the lord's command, even if we face Yuan Benchu, we will never be in trouble. But once Chen Yanzhi is involved, our plans will be useless. This feeling is really uncomfortable."
Guo Jia took a sip of wine, looked comfortable and said lightly: "We have been intimate with Chen Yanzhi for a long time. Unfortunately, we have never met. This time we entered Chang'an, we happened to meet him in person. I, Guo Fengxiao, want to see who he is? If Chen Yanzhi really plans to hand over Chang'an to the lord for governance, then the lord's power will be more than doubled immediately. We are not afraid of starting a war with Yuan Benchu immediately. But if Chen Yanzhi is a hypocritical guy who deceives his lord, then we will be in danger this time."
Xun Yu said, "Fengxian, you are weak, drink less."
Guo Jia said with concern at all: "It's okay not to eat. But it's better to kill me if I don't drink."
………………………………………
Chang'an, the palace.
Liu Xie sat on the dragon throne.
The ministers below made a quarrel.
Except for Cai Yong's decision to support Chen Yanzhi, no one else was willing to let Cao Cao take charge of Chang'an, and no one was willing to let the emperor return to Luoyang.
Now everyone is living a stable and comfortable life, who is willing to change?
What's more, Cao Mengde was just a descendant of a eunuch. How could he occupy a high position, assist the emperor, and lead the ministers?
Chen Yanzhi looked at these ministers and shook his head secretly. Each of them was for the ambition in their hearts, for their own status and rights, and was in a state of affairs. There were very few ministers who truly served the country and the people.
Jia Xu waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, don't make a noise anymore. Such endless noises are so endless. We are afraid that Cao Mengde has arrived in Chang'an City and we have no conclusion yet. Let's all listen to what the emperor and Mr. Chen said."
"cough."
Chen Yanzhi coughed softly.
The sound was clearly heard in everyone's ears.
The entire hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Chen Yanzhi.
Chen Yanzhi said calmly: "I have chosen Cao Mengde. I asked him to take over Chang'an and welcome the emperor back to Luoyang for the sake of the overall situation of the world. The Han Dynasty was disintegrated and divided, and the major princes listened to Xuan and did not listen to the order, and did not take the imperial court or the emperor seriously at all. Who can end this chaotic era and give the Han court and the people of the world a peace, I immediately sent Cao Cao back to Luoyang and asked the emperor to issue an order to take back his military power."
Chen Yanzhi looked around for a week and asked, "Why, no one dares to say that he has this ability? But Cao Mengde has this ability. Cao Mengde's origin was not very good. After being a eunuch, he had courage and talent. He has been in charge of Luoyang for seven years. I believe everyone knows what Luoyang is like now. If you have any objections, you can raise it openly. I hope you can convince Chen. However, don't argue endlessly. That is meaningless."
Dong Cheng is out of the list.
Dong Cheng's daughter married Emperor Liu Xie. He is now the father-in-law and has an extraordinary status. Dong Cheng feels that he is qualified to talk to Chen Yanzhi.
Chen Yanzhi asked: "What are the best ideas of the father-in-law?"
Dong Cheng said: "Mr. Chen, your achievements to the Han court are obvious to all. Your Pope is the emperor's teacher. With your prestige and ability, we have nothing to say. But we are not convinced by Cao Mengde to lead the ministers and assist the emperor."
The other ministers shouted: "Yes. We are not convinced. Why should Cao Mengde?"
Chen Yanzhi said, "I have no interest in taking charge of the court. Because I have more important plans to do. Since you insist on doing this, we will take a step back. Give Cao Mengde three years. If he cannot satisfy the emperor and all the ministers within three years, we will let him leave. If he does well, let him continue to do it. What do you think?"
Dong Cheng and others had no choice but to agree.
After all, Chen Yanzhi had already made concessions. They wanted to see if Cao Mengde was really as capable as Chen Yanzhi said.
Liu Xie said: "Since everyone has no objections, let's do what Mr. Chen said and leave the court."
………………………………………
Cao Cao entered Chang'an City.
After paying homage to the emperor and meeting with the ministers, we finally visited Cai’s mansion and had a detailed discussion with Chen Yanzhi.
Chen Yanzhi prepared good wine and dishes and entertained Cao Cao and others.
Xun Yu was called the talent of the king and the assistant.
Guo Jia is known as a "genius".
They are all people with extraordinary intelligence. Their ideological realm is similar to that of Jia Xu.
Guo Jia has good wine and is weak in body. If you drink this, you will probably not be able to survive in a few years.
Cao Cao took a bite of the dish and asked, "Brother Yanzhi. I haven't seen you for several years, but your appearance has not changed at all. Cao is ten years older. To be honest, what do you think of giving Chang'an to Cao? Those ministers have a lot of opinions about Cao."
Chen Yanzhi said, "What I do is my true thoughts. The main reason is that those ministers are not good at it. Otherwise, I would not let Meng De, you take charge of Chang'an. Meng De, you are seeking a lifetime of merit, and Chen wants to seek a lifetime of merit. Education and inheritance are achievements of merit for all times."
In fact, Chen Yanzhi didn't care about the change of the court.
What he needs to do is to pass on knowledge and knowledge. No matter what era, knowledge and knowledge are the most precious wealth. As long as the inheritance is constantly extinct, Chinese civilization will not be cut off.
Why do nomadic peoples in the grassland constantly disappear and replace each other? Because they only know how to burn, kill, plunder, and have no cultural heritage of their own. They will only destroy and create, and will definitely not last long and will only perish in the end.
What they want to learn from the 100 students Chen Yanzhi taught will be taught to them without reservation.
Let them learn as much as they can.
Cao Cao said, "Brother Yanzhi, you really want to practice the way of a saint and educate the people. Good things are really great."
Chen Yanzhi is not only just teaching the people. He not only wants to teach students the Confucian way of cultivating the mind and self-cultivation, but also teach them to explore the world and learn the truth of all things.
Chen Yanzhi said: "Brother Meng De, you only have three years. If you can't satisfy everyone in three years, they will be dissatisfied."
Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he said, "Brother Yanzhi, don't worry. Cao will definitely satisfy the emperor and the people."
Cao Cao is a heroic figure, and he really doesn't take those ministers seriously.
As for Li Jue, Guo Si and others of the Western Liang Army, a martial artist is not worth worrying about.
It was at this moment.
Chen Yanzhi frowned and looked up at the direction of Wuji County, Zhongshan. His soul sensed that the wooden sword left for Zhen Mi back then had been broken.
Chen Yanzhi said in his heart: "Mi'er is not in danger. Why did she break the wooden sword? Could it be that she just wanted to see me?"
Chen Yanzhi decided to go to Wuji County, Zhongshan.
