Taking orders in times of danger

The Northern Wei of Luoyang has three hundred stones.

Among the many officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this is not a big official position, not even comparable to the county magistrate of a lower county. However, this position has extraordinary significance. Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the responsibilities of the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang include

At the northern city gate of Luoyang, the four neighborhoods including Yongmen are under public security. And these four neighborhoods are also the four most prosperous and populous neighborhoods in Luoyang...

When Cao Cao was appointed Northern Lieutenant, he killed Jian Shuo's uncle with his rod.

Nowadays, Cao Cao serves as the emperor to command the princes, which also adds a bit of unusual flavor to this captain in the northern part of Luoyang.

Anyone who serves as the Northern Wei of Luoyang must be a close minister of Cao Cao. Zhu Zan is a fellow villager of Cao Cao, and he and Cao Zhen are sworn brothers, which fits the concept of a close minister.

Now, Zhu Zan's sudden death immediately caused an uproar.

After Cao Zhen learned the news, he fell into a coma. When he woke up, he cried loudly...

And Cao Cao also felt extremely angry.

Is the situation in Luoyang so chaotic?

Even the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang could not save his life?

At the beginning of June, the Luoyang order was deposed. Xiahou Dun of Yin in Henan wrote a letter to plead guilty, but Cao Cao dismissed Xiahou Dun from his post without saying a word.

Immediately, Cao Cao transferred Cheng Yu, the governor of Dongjun, to the post of Yin of Henan in mid-June.

Cheng Yu was one of the earliest senators to follow Cao Cao and was loyal to Cao Cao.

He has a strong character, tough methods, and extremely powerful tactics. During the three years he served as the governor of Dongjun, Cheng Yu made sure that no one picked up things on the road in Dongjun and never closed his house at night. Now, Cheng Yu is a very suitable candidate to serve as Yin of Henan.

Make Gyeonggi quickly and stable.

However, now that Henan Yin has been appointed, who will be appointed as the Luoyang Order?

The situation in Luoyang was already very complicated, but now another Northern Lieutenant died, making Luoyang suddenly in chaos.

Various forces took action one after another to take over the position of Luoyang Order. Cao Cao was also in a dilemma, and he really didn't know who to use.

"My Lord, I recommend someone to be the Luoyang Order."

In the lobby of Sikong Mansion, Dong Zhao stepped forward.

Cao Cao said: "Who does Gongren want to recommend?"

"Sikong Caoyu, Chen Qun and Chen Changwen from Yingchuan."

"oh?"

Cao Cao frowned and looked at the person in the hall.

Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xiahou Dun, and Cheng Yu, who was about to take office, all remained silent.

"It's a long article. Does it mean you're a little underqualified?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate and asked.

It’s no wonder that Chen Qun was not yet 30 years old. Although he was promoted as a talented person, he had no experience in governing. Luoyang was the former imperial capital, and in terms of character and rank, he was almost the same as the prefect. Moreover, the current situation in Luoyang is complicated, with various forces

It's a mess, and it can be said that it's a mixed bag. Chen Qun is young, not to mention whether he is suitable. Even if he is appointed as the Luoyang Order, will he be able to control the situation?

Previously, Luoyang Ling was a veteran of the imperial court and had seniority.

Xiahou Dun has outstanding military achievements and is a close official of Cao Cao, so he can intimidate Xiao Xiao.

But now, Cheng Yu's experience is not a problem, and Cao Cao is relieved. However, Chen Qun's qualifications and prestige may not be able to stand firm in Luoyang.

Guo Jia coughed and said, "When it comes to qualifications and age, Long Wen is indeed lacking.

However, Sikong should not forget that Changwen's grandfather, Chen Shi, was one of the four chiefs of Yingchuan. He had countless disciples and former officials and had a high reputation. Changwen's father, Chen Ji, was also a famous scholar in Yingchuan. Changwen was born in the Chen family and had great influence.

The advantage of being high. At least those high-ranking students in Luoyang must sell Changwen to save face. In addition, Changwen has an elegant temperament and is calm in situations. He has been wandering for many years and has very rich experience.

Zhongde is good at being strong, and Changwen is good at being gentle.

One strong and one soft complement each other, and it is easy to do things together. If you change it to someone with senior qualifications and a strong personality, he may not be willing to listen to Zhongde. Moreover, since Zhongde is appointed as the Yin of Henan, it is best to ask for advice.

,His idea..."

Cao Cao's eyes immediately fell on Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu is eight feet three inches tall and has a height of 190 centimeters.

He was obviously the tallest in the hall, and as soon as he stood up, he immediately felt inexplicable pressure.

Cheng Yu, a native of Dong'a, Dong County, Yanzhou, had a beautiful beard and a handsome appearance. Seeing Cao Cao look at him, Cheng Yu pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "What Fengxiao said is absolutely true."

He knows his own affairs well, and Cheng Yu also knows his own weaknesses very well.

He was able to do a perfect job in Dongjun because he was from Yanzhou himself, so he was naturally much friendly to the local people. Moreover, Dongjun was in dilapidated condition after Lu Bu's Rebellion. The wealthy families had almost lost their prestige, so they could

Allow him to successfully implement the executive order.

However, Luoyang...

If you don't have a family background, it's really hard to do things.

After all, Cheng Yu's reputation is far from enough to intimidate the children of wealthy families.

But Chen Qun is different. He was born in Yingchuan, which is adjacent to Luoyang, so he is also very familiar with Luoyang. The Yingyin Chen family is one of the several wealthy families in Yingchuan. Chen Qun has fame, talent, and more importantly

What's more, he has a great grandfather that no one can compare to!

With this alone, he can gain a firm foothold in Luoyang.

As for age and seniority?

If you have age and qualifications, you may not be able to serve as the Luoyang Order.

"In this case, call Changwen over immediately."

Since Cheng Yu also recognized Chen Qun, Cao Cao naturally no longer had any doubts. After a while, Chen Qun was brought to the hall and bowed deeply.

He had already heard that he was likely to be appointed as the Luoyang Order, so he was not surprised after Cao Cao's appointment.

"Chang Wen, you go to Luoyang now, you have a heavy responsibility.

For one thing, you need to restore order to Luoyang as soon as possible and not let it happen again.

Secondly, the situation in Luoyang is relatively bad now. Since Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an and burned Luoyang, the city of Luoyang has been in ruins. If there is a war, it may not last long.

The previous Luoyang Order has been in office for four years due to the merits of accompanying him, but it has not brought many changes to Luoyang. This time you go to take office, you must not be like your predecessor, doing nothing and letting things go...

Third...I think you have also heard that Zhu Zan, the former captain of northern Luoyang, was mysteriously poisoned and the cause of death has not been found out yet. I need you to investigate this matter as soon as possible and find the murderer...Long article,

Do you have any requests? If so, just ask them."

This sentence also showed Cao Cao's firm determination to rectify Luoyang.

Chen Qun pondered for a moment, then raised his head with clear eyes, "Sikong, when Qun goes to Luoyang, one person is needed, and this person must be appointed as the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang."

"Oh?" Cao Cao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows curiously.

Cheng Yu said: "Who do you want to recommend to be the Northern Lieutenant?"

Chen Qun smiled without saying anything and looked at Guo Jia.

"No, how can Fengxiao be appointed as the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang?"

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Guo Jia smiled and shook his head, "My lord, that's not what the article meant. Even if I agree, he probably won't look down on me."

"That……"

"I think I have already guessed who the person recommended in the long article is!"

In a blink of an eye, late summer is passing and early autumn is approaching.

Outside the mountains, the sun is scorching hot, and there is still no drop of rain.

However, Cao Ji built the Cao Gong chariot and quickly promoted it in Yuzhou under Xun Yu's personal supervision. By the beginning of June, Cao Ji worked non-stop and led officials of the people to visit the two most drought-stricken areas in Chenqun and Liang County. About three hundred

More than three hundred Cao Gong chariots were set up along the river to draw water and open canals. More than three hundred Cao Gong chariots did not sound like a large number, but for the land of two counties, they were just a drop in the bucket.

However, by the end of June, more than 2,000 Cao Gong vehicles had been erected across Yuzhou, which more or less alleviated some of the drought.

Because of this, Cao Ji was appointed as the civilian Cao Duwei.

Cao Cao forced his way through and worshiped Cao Ji as Marquis of Che to reward Cao Ji for his various contributions in the past three years.

Make a knife!

Reopen Hayi Workshop!

He made Cao Cao's plow, created Cao Cao's chariot, and presented the three treasures (horse saddle, stirrups and horseshoes). All these contributions made Cao Cao gain a lot.

Although many people are against it, many others are in favor.

Surprisingly, Kong Rong and other people who thought they would strongly oppose the move actually remained silent.

This has something to do with the fact that Cao Peng wrote an 800-character essay before and became a disciple of Hu Zhao again. To a certain extent, people like Kong Rong recognized Cao Peng's literary talent. At the same time, Fengchehou was just a title.

A marquis has no real power, no settlement, and cannot be regarded as a big deal. Since Emperor Huan, there have been countless marquises with this title. Even eunuchs can serve as marquises. Cao Ji has done so many things and made so many achievements, why can't he get it?

A title of Marquis? Kong Rong and others had no objections to this.
