Chapter 2312 gag other people's mouths first
Guo Jia asked for a meeting, but there was something else to tell Cao Shu, but Cao Shu brought the topic to the fact that Cao Heng forced Cao Yi to stare at the dead body.
Cao Shu and Guo Jia both knew very well that Cao Heng did this simply because he wanted Cao Yi to adapt to the blood and cruelty of the battlefield earlier.
However, doing this will have a very troublesome consequence, that is, it will spread it outside and be known by some self-righteous saints. They will definitely try their best to ruin Cao Heng's character to the point of being innocent.
For such people, Cao Shuo had the choice to kill them all.
If you do that, it will definitely attract more criticism and criticism. By then, not only will Cao Heng be pushed to the forefront, but even Cao Shu will definitely become the target of public criticism.
"I think Your Majesty must not hide this matter." Guo Jia said: "What you should say depends on how you lead it. Before some people who are afraid of the world will not be in chaos, your Majesty will speak out first. When they want to speak, the world has already made preconceived ideas. Even if they have tried their best, they will not be able to influence the world's ideas."
"The meaning of filial piety is that I should find someone to write an edict and inform the whole world of this matter in the form of an edict?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Of course." Guo Jia replied: "Chen Lin has to write this matter and let him write it. Not to mention that the prince has no intention of suppressing the second prince, even if there is, he can tell some truth."
Cao Shuo frowned slightly and pondered for a moment and said, "I still have the idea of being filial."
He shouted to the door: "General Deng!"
Deng Zhan then went into the house and asked Cao Shu: "Dare you ask what instructions does Your Majesty have?"
"Invite Chen Lin." Cao Shu said: "Tell him that I have something important to him and need him to do it immediately. No matter what he has, he will put it all away and come to me quickly."
After receiving the order, Deng Zhan retreated.
Cao Shu then remembered that Guo Jia had something else to do when he came to see him.
He asked Guo Jia, "Fengxiao just said that the prince had something wrong with it?"
"The prince attacked the Huns, and everything was done without any flaws." Guo Jia replied: "The only thing that was not done was that he was too relaxed in Huchuquan."
"Why is it related to Huchuquan again?" Cao Shu said: "I ordered Huchuquan to go to war with the army to help the prince defeat the Xiongnu. Although his status in the Xiongnu is getting worse, he is still the Xiongnu Khan. The Xiongnu is like our Central Plains. There are always a few people who are unforgettable to the old Shanyu. Our army fought against the Xiongnu and caused the Huns to suffer some losses and provoke the Great Wei. They will soon be opposed by all the Xiongnu. I feel that it is not a bad thing to be a little relaxed against Huchuquan."
"I will certainly not say anything just relaxed." Guo Jia said: "But what the prince did is no longer comparable to relaxedness. After defeating Liu Meng for the first time, he actually allowed Hu Chuquan to recruit the surrendered Huns of Liu Meng, and also distributed old-fashioned battle robes in the Great Wei Mansion to those Huns."
"I think it's very good." Cao Shuo smiled and said to Guo Jia: "The old-fashioned battle robe is no longer useful to our soldiers of the Great Wei. Take them out and hand them over to the Huns for use, so it will not be damaged in the treasury. The prince did this, first, to incorporate the Huns, and second, to deal with the old-fashioned battle robe that is no longer useful."
"Your Majesty only sees these, don't you see any inappropriate places?" Guo Jia asked Cao Shu.
Cao Shu asked, "What's wrong with it? Please give Xiao a clear statement."
"Although Hu Chuquan has lived in the Central Plains for many years, he was once the Great Khan of the Huns." Guo Jia said: "If he had troops under him, it would be necessary to defeat the dehuman. However, after defeating the dehuman, what would he make a decision? Have your Majesty ever thought about it?"
Pinching his chin reveals a meditative look, Cao Shuo asked Guo Jia: "Does Fengxiao think Hu Chuquan will betray the Great Wei?"
"Your Majesty is to destroy the Huns." Guo Jia replied: "Although Huchuquan is a foreign race, he is not a fool. If he defeats the position of Da Shanyu of the Bedemoiselle of Beiduohui, what he needs to do most is to lead the Huns away from the Great Wei, establish the Huns' kingdom north of the Great Wei, and revive the Huns."
"Bongxiao thinks he can do it?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Guo Jia.
Guo Jia replied: "I think as long as the Great Wei slackens a little, Hu Chuquan can definitely do it."
"The prince is outside the pass. Fengxiao said this. If he and his generals heard it, they would not know what trouble they would cause." Cao Shuo said to Guo Jia: "I already understand the meaning of Fengxiao, that is, the prince should control Hu Chuquan and prevent him from growing too fast, so that the Great Wei cannot control it."
"That's right." Guo Jia replied: "Hu Chuquan is like a wild beast that has been raised by the Great Wei for many years. Although it seems that it has surrendered, it is still wild in its heart. So it is not enough to compete with the Great Wei to the end, it is nothing more than that he thinks that his strength has not yet reached. After all, one day, he feels that he will definitely turn against the Great Wei and bring a lot of trouble to His Majesty."
"Fengxiao thought that Huchuquan had ever thought about really surrendering to the Great Wei during these days in the Central Plains?" Cao Shu did not respond to Guo Jia, but asked him back.
Guo Jia replied: "I have already said it..."
Speaking of this, Guo Jia suddenly stopped talking, but looked at Cao Shu in surprise: "Your Majesty means..."
"My meaning has always been very clear, and Fengxiao should be very clear." Cao Shuo smiled and said to Guo Jia: "The Huns and the Central Plains have been enemies for hundreds of years. When the Central Plains are strong, the Huns will surrender to the Central Plains. When the Central Plains are tired, they will attack in large numbers, bringing endless suffering to the Central Plains. Fengxiao believes that the Great Wei can be strong for many years? How many years can the Huns be afraid of the rats?"
"If all the kings of the Great Wei Dynasty could be like His Majesty..." Guo Jia said uncertainly.
Cao Shu laughed and said to Guo Jia: "I don't believe this when Fengxiao said this. Do you believe it yourself or not?"
"Does Your Majesty think that there will always be a few emperors of the Great Wei in the future..." Guo Jia didn't say anything more after saying this.
He knew very well that some words were not suitable to be said too clearly from his position.
"No need to appear a few, as long as one appears, the country of the Great Wei will be over." Cao Shuo said: "Not talking about the Great Wei, only the Great Han talk about the matter. The Twelve Emperors of the Western Han Dynasty and the Twelve Emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Before Wang Mang's authority, did the Huns dare to enter the Central Plains to harm one side? When the Western Han Dynasty weakened and Guangwu was revived, the Huns came again. Emperor Ming of Han's civil and military affairs, ordered Dou Gu and others to attack the Huns and divide the Huns into two divisions. Although it caused a heavy blow to the Huns, after the two Emperors Huan Ling caused trouble in the world, the Central Plains was in chaos and the Huns came again."
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he stared at Guo Jia's eyes. Cao Shu continued to ask him: "Now the Huns are indeed beaten by us, and we are afraid of being beaten to the point of being beaten, but how can Fengxiao ensure that the Wei Dynasty will not have a fool like the two emperors Huan Ling in the future?"
Guo Jia really can't guarantee the situation Cao Shu said.
A hint of confusion appeared on his face and asked Cao Shu: "Your Majesty means..."
"I still have only one." Cao Shuo said: "In order to avoid the Huns from bringing disaster to the Central Plains in the future, the best way is to completely destroy them."
"Is the eldest son doing this? Is Your Majesty's intention?" Guo Jia asked Cao Shu in confusion.
"Of course it's what I mean." Cao Shu said: "Before he left, I told him that I should do my best to support Huchuquan. It is best to let Huchuquan expand itself, believing that he already has the ability to fight our army. When entering Hetao, the army will then act unwilling to retreat. For the interests of the Huns, Huchuquan will definitely incite the Huns to become enemies with the Great Wei. As long as they take action, the prince will have a way to annihilate them all and then completely pacify the Huns."
"It seems that I'm not thinking so much." Guo Jia shook his head and said to Cao Shu: "I thought he was blinded by Hu Chuquan with the news that the prince supported Hu Chuquan, so I couldn't tell what to do..."
Guo Jia was relieved to get the answer from Cao Shuo.
Cao Shu asked him: "Fengxiao has become the prime minister. Do you feel more pressure in recent days than before?"
"I can't say anything if your Majesty doesn't ask." Guo Jia replied: "When I followed Your Majesty to fight south and north, I didn't realize that there was any difficulty in winning the world. Now that your Majesty really won the world, I realized that it is much more difficult to defend your job for you than to attack the world."
"I had thought about asking you to go to Xiliang with you." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Guo Jia: "You have become the prime minister, and I think it is really inappropriate to send you out again. I can't let the prime minister attack outside and handle government affairs by myself."
"What will happen to your Majesty? I will do whatever I want." Guo Jia replied: "It's just that Jia Wenhe is too old. This time he went to Xiliang. When he comes back, he should be at the age of retiring and returning home."
"If it were other places, I wouldn't have let Jia Wen and the past." Cao Shu said: "It's not unreasonable that he was called a poisonous man by the world. In the past, I rarely used his strategy to attack the Central Plains because the strategies he offered were mostly too sinister and belonged to the root-cutting strategy. But this time, the Qiang people and the Xianbei people were not our race, so the tricks were more sinister and more sinister than others."
"I'm not worried about how Jia Wenhe treats foreign races. What I'm worried about is his body." Guo Jia said: "After all, people are old. After years of conquest, their enthusiasm was almost gone. Although His Majesty gave him the Pill of the Sea, at his age, who knows if it's useful after eating it."
"I'm not using Xiao to eat it, isn't it very useful?" Cao Shu looked at Guo Jia with a smile.
Guo Jia subconsciously touched his face: "It's really useful. Now I feel that my body is much more nimble, but I still know that although I don't look old, I'm actually really old."
"We are all slowly getting older," Cao Shu said: "Every year after year, countless people were killed, but in the end they could not escape being killed by time. The only thing we can do is to do as many things as possible when we are alive."
There was always a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Cao Shu continued to say to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao has become the prime minister. Just do your job well and don't think too much about anything else."
Guo Jia responded, and then said to Cao Shuo: "Summer is about to enter. Every summer, there are always a few rivers such as the Yangtze River, Huai River and the Yellow River that will refuse to calm down. All regions near the river ask whether they should prepare for disaster resistance in advance?"
"Of course, you need to prepare in advance for disaster resistance." Cao Shu said: "It will be too late to consider how to resist disasters when the disaster occurs. We order all localities to stock grains for disaster relief at any time. There are also tools and tents needed to fight disasters. In addition, find some talents who know how to clear rivers and ask them to check the rivers that are prone to flooding, and wait until the flood season passes, and clear all the rivers."
Speaking of this, Cao Shu asked Guo Jia: "I think most of the inland rivers are from west to east now, and few from south to north. With such a layout, trade in goods from north to south can only take dry roads. The ability to transport goods on dry roads is limited, not as fast as water and land and large intake. I plan to open a canal from north to south. What do you think?"
Cao Shu proposed to open the canal, which was inspired by the later Emperor Yang of Sui.
Although the Grand Canal consumes a lot of financial and manpower, it will be irreversible to the achievements of later generations.
It’s like Qin Shihuang’s Great Wall was formed by the later Qin Great Wall.
During the construction process, countless civilians were exhausted, but the existence of the Great Wall blocked the invasion of foreign races in the north and kept the Central Plains safe for many years.
Cao Shu knew very well that once the Grand Canal was really dug, he would face countless criticisms.
But after the canal is dug, what future generations can leave behind is a success of achievements.
really.
As soon as he proposed to dig the Grand Canal, Guo Jia said, "Your Majesty has gone south from nothing to do. It is not so easy to dig a canal. The people and money they have to use are extremely expensive. If there is anything wrong, your Majesty will bear countless criticisms. Please think twice."
"If I don't rush to open it within one or two years and take ten or twenty years to do this, what do I think Fengxiao thinks?" Cao Shu thought for a moment and asked Guo Jia.
"The longer it takes to dig a canal, the more it costs." Guo Jia replied: "It took ten or twenty years to open it. Have your Majesty ever thought about how much money the Great Wei court had to spend?"
Frowning, Cao Shu thought for a while and said to Guo Jia: "I will discuss this matter again, find a practical way, and then invest manpower to dig it out."
"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the sufferings of the people, and all the people will be grateful." Guo Jia bowed and gave a big gift to Cao Shu.
As the two were talking, Deng Zhan came outside the door and bowed to Cao Shu and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Chen Lin is here."
"Come in quickly." Chen Lin was the key to drafting the edict and rectifying the reputation of Cao Heng's actions outside the pass. When he heard that he was coming, Cao Shu quickly gave an order.
