The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 122 Cao Cao returns to Beijing
After Lin Chao returned that night, he took out a small notebook in his room and wrote Zhang Liao's name on it.

After finishing writing, Dian Wei knocked on the door and walked in.

As soon as he came in, Dian Wei clasped his fists and said: "Sir, Zuo Feng received the money brought by someone today, but he only agreed to half of the conditions."

"half?"

Lin Chao was a little puzzled and asked, "But not enough money?"

Hearing this, Dian Wei shook his head and said, "Sir, then Zuo Feng said that Xun Yu and Xun Chen are good arrangements, but Xun Gongda is now an official worshiping the servant of the Huangmen, and he is the general who is recruiting. He hastily The reassignment may cause He Jin to be alert."

"Jun Ming, when you mentioned Xun Gongda, what kind of demeanor did Zuo Feng have?" Lin Chao continued to ask, "Did you categorically refuse, or hesitate again and again?"

"This..." Dian Wei thought about it carefully, "Sir, that eunuch Zuo Feng didn't refuse outright, but after hesitating for a while, he said that this matter is not easy to handle."

Hearing Dian Wei's words, Lin Chao laughed, and even thought of Zuo Feng's appearance when he shunned Dian Wei.

What is not easy to arrange, what is afraid of arousing He Jin's vigilance, these are all excuses.

There is only one real reason, you have to pay more!
Today, Lin Chao asked Dianwei to bring 500 million yuan to visit Zuo Feng. The purpose was naturally to buy an official, but not for himself or Liu Bei.

Although the emperor opened the west mansion to sell his official position, the ministers in the court and the gentry in the field all criticized this.

The literati have always paid attention to conduct, no matter how slippery the money and power business is, on the surface they still look like they are reciting scriptures and respecting Jun Yaoshun.

The matter of the emperor's betrayal of officials not only violated their moral bottom line, but also touched their bottom line of interests. It is only natural for them to object.

But even if the emperor wants to sell, they have no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it.

They couldn't rule the emperor, but they sneered at those who bought officials, and strongly condemned them, and even secretly laid hands on them to make stumbling blocks, at least they had to isolate them.

Therefore, Lin Chao naturally couldn't go to Xiyuan to buy an official in an open and aboveboard manner, otherwise the entire Liu Bei Group would be cast aside by the world's aristocratic families.

Then, following the path of the eunuch became the only feasible way.

And Lin Chao promised to pay twice the price, but the requirement was not to make it public.

After all, Lin Chao is about to become the closed disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, and Liu Bei is also the apprentice of the current Lu Shangshu.

Both of them are gentlemen, so naturally they cannot have any collusion with the eunuch.

And Lin Chao's targets for buying officials were precisely Xun Yu, Xun Chen, and Xun You.

Yes, it is to buy them a county magistrate Dangdang with a rank of a thousand stones, and transfer them away from the capital to serve as officials in the local area.

The three members of the Xun family are now only officials with a rank of six hundred stones. Lin Chao has directly promoted them to a rank of one thousand stones. After they know it, they will definitely be moved to tears...

As for which place it is, it must be Liu Bei's future base.

Lin Chao felt that it was unrealistic to persuade them to defect to Liu Bei now, so let's get them there first. Anyway, it's safe to pay in advance, and they won't be able to run away if they want to. There will be plenty of opportunities to recruit them in the future.

This method may not be very clever, but it is simple and rude.

The imperial edict will not allow you not to go, unless you want to abandon your official position.

Both Xun Yu and Xun Chen went well, but when it was Xun You's turn, Zuo Feng rejected him.

Although Xun You was a talent recruited by the great general He Jin, he only made friends with the Xun family. Now Xun You is just a servant of the Huang family, so it is not as difficult as Zuo Feng said.

Probably Zuo Feng saw that Dian Wei spent lavishly, 500 million yuan without even batting an eyelid, so he temporarily increased the price in order to extract more money.

"Since Zuo Feng loves money, then let him be satisfied. You bring this thing tomorrow, plus 200 million yuan, and then go to visit Zuo Feng."

Lin Chao smiled, took out a booklet from his pocket, and handed it to Dian Wei.

After Dian Wei took it, he couldn't help but opened it curiously and took a look, only to see that there were some naked women in it, and they were having sex with men.

Dian Wei has never seen such pictures of erotic palaces before, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he hastily closed the booklet.But the booklet in his hand seemed to be magical, constantly attracting him, and he couldn't help but want to open it.

"Sir, these... are all drawn by yourself?"

Dian Wei hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously.

Lin Chao nodded and admitted unceremoniously: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Dian Wei: ...

He felt that Lin Chao's tall and majestic image in his heart had completely collapsed, and what was left was a wretched and adulterous villain.

Mr. reads the books of sages, why did he draw such a thing!
Dian Wei couldn't understand it.

"Okay, after it's done, I'll give you a copy too."

Lin Chao laughed.

"it is good!"

Dian Wei responded immediately.

Well, Lin Chao's wretched figure became tall again in Dian Wei's heart, even more majestic than before.

In fact, Lin Chao only used some illustrations for this so-called erotic book, and the most important thing is the content on the first page, which is "Dong Xuanzi".

Emperor Liu Hong was addicted to drinking and sex all the year round, and often played with naked young ladies in Xibi Guiyuan, so his body was naturally weak.And the book "Dongxuanzi" happens to be a book about Fang Zhongshu.

According to the book, as long as you use the right posture and the right method, intercourse will also be beneficial to your body.

For fear that the emperor might not understand, Lin Chao even specially added illustrations, which is really thoughtful.

As for whether it works or not...

Lin Chao doesn't believe it, but people who can't stand this era are willing to believe it!

Thinking about it, based on Zuo Feng's understanding of the emperor, he must be able to know the value of this booklet. If adding 200 million yuan, if Xun You can't be dealt with, then Zuo Feng is a bit too greedy.

The next day, Dian Wei went out with money and pamphlets.

And Lin Chao also took the exam questions given by Zheng Xuan, prepared some gifts, and went straight to Lu Zhi's house all the way.

Today happened to be the first day of March, and it was also the time of the Great Court Assembly. Lu Zhi must not be in the mansion, but Zheng Xuan should be.

Well, later on, I will pretend to be a big contest in front of old man Zheng, and make him astonished, so it will be stable.

Lin Chao thought in his heart, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and he walked faster.

……

Cao Cao looked at the Chongde Hall in front of him, feeling extremely emotional in his heart.

After three years, I, Cao Mengde, are still back...

Since he abandoned his official position and went back to seclusion in the second year of Zhongping, Cao Cao has been evading his illness and refused to be recruited by the court.

It wasn't until half a month ago that he received a handwritten letter from his friend Yuan Benchu, and then he made up his mind to accept General He Jin's enlistment and come to Luoyang to worship as Yilang.

Cao Cao raised his eyes and saw that there were groups of officials around the Chongde Hall, all of whom were talking about it. Only Cao Cao was alone, standing out from the crowd.

Of course, with his height, it can also be said that he stands out from the crowd...

Looking at these scumbags, Cao Cao's eyes flashed with disdain.

How can a man who has lived for hundreds of years be destroyed in your hands!

When a certain person enters Beijing this time, he must help the country and rebuild the artifact!
Cao Cao straightened his clothes very solemnly, then walked towards the Chongde Hall with his head held high.
