The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 377 Hard fishing?

"General Wuwei wants to see me?"

Wen Yang stood in front of Cao Yan very rudely, with his head lowered and his eyes wide open, looking a little scary.

At this moment, neither Cao Yan nor the confidants behind him reprimanded him for his behavior. They all lowered their heads and said nothing.

Cao Yan laughed awkwardly.

"Yes, I heard that General Wen inherited my father's position and revived the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the Wei Dynasty, so I came here to take a look."

"General Wen is truly a tiger general. I feel at ease leaving the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to you!"

When Wen Yang heard this, he immediately felt much better and smiled shyly.

"General Wuwei, you are too kind!"

"It's nothing special, nothing special. I had some good wine today and wanted to invite you to drink with me, but since you're so busy, I think we should wait until later."

As Cao Yan was speaking, Wen Yang grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the military camp, "I have to show you the soldiers now!"

Cao Yan felt like he was almost flying up, and was dragged into the camp by Wen Yang.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are training, and it's very intense.

Wen Yang said proudly, "My father gave me elite cavalry, and I used them to reorganize the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. I also recruited brave knights from the central army to join us. We have fought several battles, and we have always been the vanguard and achieved great success!"

He explained to Cao about his various teams and the knights who had made great contributions.

Cao Yan's face was filled with a happy smile, he kept nodding his head and exclaimed from time to time.

Wen Yang took him around for a few rounds and chatted with him for nearly half an hour before sending him out of the tent.

Cao Yan said goodbye to Wen Yang with a smile and got into the car.

On the way back, everyone was silent.

Cao Yan looked at his sore arm and took a breath.

What did Wenqin's son eat to grow up? He doesn't even look like a human being, he's just a cow that can speak human language!

Just now I saw four or five people hanging on him, but he was able to run and shake them off.

At this moment, Cao Yan had given up the idea of taking over the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and his mind was very clear.

Of course, not all members of the royal family are as bad as Cao Yan. Yang Hu in Hebei is busy releasing members of the royal family at this moment.

According to Cao Mao's decree, Yang Hu sent many royal family members trapped in Hebei back to their fiefdoms.

When these royal family members were brought out, they were very frightened.

"General, we don't want to leave. Let us stay here. I'm used to living here. If I go to my fiefdom, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to the climate there."

King Cao Ti of Liang was holding Yang Hu's hand at this moment, his eyes full of fear.

These royal family members did not dare to go out, not because they were afraid that the Sima family would purge them, but because they were afraid of the emperor.

The Sima family was very happy to move these princes to Hebei because it meant they had avoided the so-called "re-enfeoffment".

In order to prevent the princes from becoming too powerful, the emperor would constantly let them exchange fiefs. Their daily routine was to travel constantly and serve as kings in different places.

In this era, the most painful thing is to rush on the road.

Young people are more likely to die young, and old people are more likely to die of illness. Even those who are strong and healthy cannot withstand the repeated hardships.

That's how Cao Zhi died.

Although the Sima family kept them in captivity, fortunately they did not continue to torment them or force them to move their territory. As for freedom, they did not have it in their own territory.

Since we are all being kept in captivity, why not be kept in captivity for a long time and stably? Why run away and suffer?
Not only King Liang, but many royal family members in Hebei also have this idea.

When they heard that Sima Zhao had fallen and the emperor had taken power, they did not feel the slightest joy or excitement.

They are very scared and worried.

After the Sima family came to power, they did not settle accounts with these local clans. To be honest, Sima Zhao treated them quite well. After all, anyone who dared to start a rebellion in the temple had been killed. As for Sima Yan, it goes without saying that Sima Yan was also quite lenient towards them.

After the abdication, the Sima family did not eliminate these local princes for the sake of their own legitimacy, and survived relatively smoothly.

But if the emperor takes power personally, the situation will be different.

The princes immediately recalled the horrors brought about by the two civilized emperors.

During that period, their lives were worse than they are now. Many people felt that it must have been very difficult for them to be kept in captivity by the Sima family, and they felt resentment towards the Sima family. Perhaps they did feel resentment, but life there was still much better than wandering around.

Yang Hu was also very embarrassed. He looked at the terrified princes in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

I clearly came here to save them, but looking at their expressions, I have become a deadly evil ghost.

Yang Hu healed him and soothed him, saying, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is traveling from Yuancheng. General Xiahou is currently commanding the Central Army, and the Prince of Yan is serving as the Chief of the Imperial Clan. Your Majesty has personally issued an order prohibiting disrespect towards members of the Imperial Clan. I've heard that your Majesty is also considering abolishing the Fangfu Order."

Cao Ti just shook his head frantically and said, "It cannot be banned, it cannot be banned. Your Majesty is thinking about us. We are very grateful for this. It's okay. There is no need to ban it." After Cao Mao showed his goodwill, these people remained unshakable.

This cannot be blamed on Emperor Wen, this must be blamed on Emperor Ming.

Because after the Ming Emperor came to power, he also took such an action, which was to ask the princes from all over the country to speak frankly. He also often invited one person to his side with a very kind attitude and said that he wanted to change their living environment.

The princes were very happy at that time, feeling that their good days had come, and they hurried to write a letter.

As a result, those who submitted the petition were the first to have their fiefs changed and died on the way.

The princes who had experienced the Ming Emperor incident naturally couldn't believe Cao Mao's identical behavior. They could understand that it was fishing, but you can't really treat us as fish, right?

How many times do you want to catch us with the same bait?

Yang Hu was also extremely helpless in the face of this situation. He said again, "Your Majesty has often spoken of his experiences in Yuancheng, lamenting that the lives of the current princes are not good. Your Majesty is kind-hearted and truly wants to implement benevolent policies. Don't be afraid, everyone. You will soon understand."

Yang Hu decided to prove this with practical actions, and immediately sent people to forcibly escort them out of Hebei.

These rescued royal family members said goodbye to each other with tears in their eyes, and the convoys heading to various places were filled with crying, as if Yang Hu was sending them to their death.

But Yang Hu had no choice. Even after Cao Ti begged him several times, he still refused.

Cao Ti was very angry about this. Are you fishing? Are you forcing the hook into your mouth?
Looking at the long convoy, Yang Hu remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, he couldn't comment on Emperor Wen's policies. Just looking at this scene, Yang Hu felt that if the Wei Dynasty was destroyed, they might be very happy.
Of course, things won't always be like this. When they arrive at the fiefdom, they will definitely understand that things are different.

They will understand the emperor's good intentions.

In your majesty's opinion, these royal family members will be powerful weapons to deal with the aristocratic families in the future.

They are the emperor's eyes, ears and swords spread all over the world.

After Yang Hu took over as General Zhenbei, what he had to do was beyond the scope of his duties.

The emperor did not regard him as the General Zhenbei at all. Cao Mao handed over the restoration of Hebei production, the governance of local tyrants, the maintenance of public order, the handling of the problem of Hu people on the border, and even the affairs of the royal family to Yang Hu.

This is not called the General of Zhenbei, this is called the Governor of Hebei!

Although Yang Hu was knowledgeable and well-informed, he had no practical experience, and these things were a huge challenge for him.

But Yang Hu was still very excited in his heart. He had waited for so long, just for an opportunity to display his talents.

This was his best chance.

During these days, Yang Hu did not rest for a single day. He visited many cities and met officials and wealthy families from all over the place. Yang Hu did not want to rush into doing things. If he wanted to do something in Hebei, he had to understand Hebei first.

The situation in Hebei Province as a whole is not very optimistic and is in a state of disrepair.

But this is also a good opportunity, because the previous rebellion caused many big families to suffer heavy losses, and the difficulty of implementing new policies here has been reduced a lot.

The first thing Yang Hu wanted to do was to rectify the officials.

He sent people to cooperate with the eunuchs to inspect various places in Hebei, dismissed many officials, and at the same time searched for talents, ordered various places to recommend scholars, met with them in person, and submitted memorials to the court.

Yang Hu looked towards Luoyang from afar, hoping that he would not disappoint the emperor's high hopes.

"They're still unwilling to leave?!"

"Look at these people's petitions!"

Cao Mao in the Taiji Hall was almost laughing out of anger. He sent people to rescue the royal family with good intentions, but these people didn't appreciate it. So he became the bad guy?

Zhang Hua stood aside, watching these contents, and was also a little amused.

"Your Majesty, this cannot be blamed on these royal family members. They are also afraid. They don't even dare to write to Your Majesty. Even the King of Donghai, upon learning that you sent someone to invite him, knelt on the ground and cried, saying that he couldn't bear such a great favor."

Cao Mao rubbed his head.

What kind of emperor am I? I am just a paperhanger in the Wei Dynasty, patching things up and cleaning up the mess for the two emperors of the Civilization.

"However, Yang Hu did a good job. I have carefully examined the people he recommended, and they are all good talents. My Great Wei is not without people to use."

Zhang Hua nodded. "Mr. Yang is a man of great talent. After his success in governing Hebei, he can become a senior official and help Your Majesty govern the country."

Cao Mao put down the memorials and turned the topic to Guo Pei.

"How's the situation with Guo Pei?"

"Your Majesty, this man insists that the assassins were not sent by him and demands a confrontation. He also says that the true situation might not be known to the world. It seems a bit threatening."

Cao Mao was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I see others clearly, but I am confused when I see myself."

"No wonder his two daughters are so cruel, arrogant, and rude. It turns out they inherited it from him."

"Then let's deal with it. Just don't implicate my Pei Xiu."

"only!!!"
