Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"Let me go, why are you eating different from what we eat?" Guo Jia, who was eating pancake rolls and cannonballs, looked at the dining room and brought a bowl of mutton steamed buns to Chen Xi. He suddenly felt that his pancake rolls and roasted mutton were a little strange. It smells good. Chen Xi's stuff seems to smell even better.

"I can't eat barbecue these days, so I can only eat something like this." Chen Xi said calmly, then he took a few bites with a spoon and ate it with chopped green onions.

"It's the same mutton soup. I always think yours is much more delicious than what we had before." Fazheng was also a little confused. He is a professional mutton eater and can distinguish good from bad.

"These are things only the poor people eat, you guys..." Chen Xi glanced at Fazheng and Guo Jia and said, but both of them had expressions of contempt.

"I see a lot of people in this world who want to be poor people." Jia Xu rolled the pancakes by hand and said with a bit of ridicule, "At least, my family, I met in Hezichuan In the past, the food was not as good as this poor people. Speaking of poor people, could they eat the five big pieces of meat covering the mouth of your bowl once a year? "

Chen Xi looked at the mutton he had pulled aside. Each piece was about four or five millimeters thick. He estimated that the total was two ounces of mutton. He nodded slowly, "That makes sense. It seems that this is not for poor people to eat. But I decided to develop it into a staple food for poor people to keep themselves healthy in winter."

"I don't really believe what others say, but if you say this, you have to believe it. For example, last year, someone had a whim and wanted to give the people all over the world a whole New Year gift - a whole braised pork rice on the first day of the new year. After my repeated persuasion, it turned out to be before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Zhuge Liang said casually while chewing the big cake and drinking rice wine, "Isn't it true that some people have completed the task that is theoretically impossible?"

"Actually, it was a mess." Chen Xi curled his lips and said. In fact, the test at the beginning of the year was also a test of logistics efficiency. It was just a bacon. It can only be said that it barely passed. Did the bacon sent be made into braised pork rice? Chen Xi didn't know either, but when Chen Xi was wandering around with Liu Bei this year, he saw the piece of bacon he was given out for the New Year on the beam of a veteran's house.

This piece of bacon that was given out during the Chinese New Year was finally used by this veteran to make fried bacon with wild mushrooms for Chen Xi and Liu Bei. There is a saying that wild mushrooms are super delicious but expensive. It was a loss when fried bacon, so that big plate of wild mushrooms Stir-fried bacon with mushrooms, Chen Xi mainly eats wild mushrooms.

"Are you coming again this year?" Li You took a burrito rolled by Zhuge Liang from Zhuge Liang's plate and ate it. Compared with the rolls that are easy to distribute in the dining room, the Political Yuan usually makes them by themselves.

"Come." Chen Xi said without raising his head, "Anyway, Xianhe is engaged in the logistics industry in the front, and I am conducting testing in the rear. I have to test every year."

"Indeed, this kind of thing really needs to be tested repeatedly before we can know the problem." Mi Zhu, who came back from the Chamber of Commerce and came to the Political Yuan for dinner, also agreed. When it comes to what the logistics industry can promote the most, for now, , there is no doubt that it is business, and the guy Mi Zhu eats is business, so Mi Zhu is very proactive in promoting the development of the logistics industry.

While a group of people were chatting and eating dinner, the guards from the palace rushed over as quickly as possible with a secret report.

One thing to say is that Huang Tao is not much faster than the official intelligence organization. The reason for Huang Tao's speed this time can only be said to be Huang Tao's presence. In addition, the official intelligence organization needs to translate the code. According to official procedures, clear code cannot be used for this kind of thing. The time difference in transcoding allowed Huang Tao to send Liu Bei first-hand information. Without this, the efficiency of both parties would be basically the same.

After the guards from the palace handed over the secret report to the guards from the Government Affairs Office, they took some time off.

"Your food is really the same as ours." After He Zhen, who was on duty in Chang'an recently, handed the secret report to the guards of the Government Affairs Department, he looked at the food of the guards at the Government Affairs Department. It was actually the same as them, big cake rolls. The barbecue is served with a variety of side dishes and sauces, cut into several pieces, one bite at a time, and rolled and cut directly in the kitchen.

"Don't you know, Brother He?" Cao Chuang glanced at He Zhen, "The food here is actually the same. Whatever the ministers eat, we also eat. Of course, they may have small stoves, but the difference is not big. Today it’s all about grilled meat rolled in big pancakes, with some side dishes, and just millet porridge with rice.”

"I thought you could eat better than us. I have been working here in Chang'an for two months. Every day I am either shaping trees in the garden or patrolling the perimeter. I haven't even seen a high-level person. I thought I was... Where are the soldiers?" He Zhen reached out and took a piece of burrito from Cao Chuang's food box and threw it into his mouth, "Why don't you see anyone? Isn't it said that there will be someone to guide you when you are a palace guard?"

The man who actively guided the palace guards before has been reduced to rubble, and Mr. Wu An is said to have encountered ghosts recently and is actively hunting ghosts and gods who dare to challenge him. He doesn't know what is going on.

This should be a rumor. Chen Xi also heard it from Liu Tong, and Liu Tong said that Si Niang blackmailed the Marquis of Huaiyin into this news. However, Chen Xi always felt that it was not very reliable. There would be people who dared to offend Lord Wu An these days. spirits? How many lives are there!

I guess it was because Han Xin had nothing to do with spreading the rumor, and Si Niang recited crooked scriptures, Liu Tong got a kick out of it and spread it blindly to Chen Xi.

However, Bai Qi recently moved from the side hall of Weiyang Palace to Jianzhang Palace. It seems that he had a conflict with Han Xin. This makes it understandable why Han Xin spread rumors. Everything is normal!

"That's what I said, but it all depends on luck." Cao Chuang looked at the patrol brother and said hello, feeling a little relaxed.

There was no way. The main job of the thousands of palace guards was to protect Liu Tong, and they didn't have to worry about anything else. Originally, such a number of palace guards had to protect the entire royal family. Now there is no royal family, only a princess and a concubine. The workload has plummeted to 1%. How can they not relax?

In fact, except for the brothers who rotate in the core area, the brothers in the periphery have been mainly responsible for shaping trees and stones brought from Qinling since eight years ago, and then arranging new shapes every day.

And He Zhen, a god who has six-fold smelting and can open the Nineteen Swords of Hidden God, has not yet been on duty to patrol the core area, so he is a little relaxed and doubts how he can live.

"This is more leisurely than when I was in Youzhou." He Zhen sighed, "The food is good, but it's too leisurely. Sometimes I wonder why I came here. It feels like I've been busy all my life, and I just stop here to slow down, relax, and let go. I even have time to do nothing and be in a daze recently."

"Yes, the palace guards are like this. Working here for two years may really be to relax. In addition, doctors from the Medical Academy come to do physical examinations every three months, give some medicine to recuperate, and solve hidden injuries. In addition, the food is good, and it feels like it is for us to relax. To be honest, this period of time is the most relaxing time for me in the past few decades." Cao Chuang said with some ease.

To be honest, this kind of relaxed environment, as well as the slow pace, good food, and physical examinations and recuperations every three months, really let these guys relax.

Those who can come to Weiyang Palace as guards have at least four levels of smelting. The experience of this group of people has made their nerves too tense, and some sequelae of the battlefield also need to be adjusted. A two-year relaxation period to relieve them is also beneficial to their condition.

To put it bluntly, this relaxing environment and the physical examination and conditioning every three months are actually to extend the service life of these elites. Machines need maintenance after being used for a long time, let alone people.

In particular, those who can come to Weiyang Palace to rotate are the top veterans. Even if it is just to relax, prolong life, and adjust the mentality, it is worth it in Chen Xi's opinion. After all, veterans of this level, if they choose to go crazy because of the sequelae of the battlefield...

To be honest, it is really difficult to deal with. Even if there are veterans of the same level who can deal with it, their exaggerated combat power can really cause a large number of casualties in a short time.

"I've adjusted everything at the Youzhou Ranch. It's too relaxed here. It feels like no one is working properly." He Zhen poured a bowl of rice wine that the kitchen distributed to Cao Chuang, smacked it twice, and felt that life was indeed comfortable.

"You have too many things to do. I'll report you tomorrow and have someone transfer you to the horse farm." Cao Chuang said unhappily, then thought about it and suddenly asked, "Are you going to participate in the competition?"

"Participate in the competition? Oh, you mean the big martial arts performance at the end of the year, right?" He Zhen was a scout after all, and he had collected a lot of intelligence recently. Although he just arrived, he also knew about the big martial arts performance.

"Yes, there are many rewards. I plan to participate, but I don't think it will happen." Cao Chuang sighed and said, "Damn the world consciousness curse, damn it, I fell to the fourth level from the fifth level of smelting, isn't this bullying?"

"Is this God's fault?" He Zhen glanced at his younger brother, "Look at me, am I still at the sixth level? If you are new, practice more, and you will naturally improve if you practice more."

"It's easy to say." Cao Chuang sighed and said, "Are you sure you can be in the top 100?"

"It's not a big problem." He Zhen thought for a while and said, the brother who pioneered the Nineteen Slashes was still a little confident in his combat power, "As for you, you probably can't even hope for the thousandth place, you are not as good as the time of Ganges, be more careful, then, maybe the general will see it."

Cao Chuang was silent for a while after hearing this, he broke through the glimpse of light because some idiot dared to attack Liu Bei, and the glimpse of light that had been stuck for many years was directly used in a hurry. If Liu Bei was watching on the field, Cao Chuang felt that he had to work harder.

"Huh?" Just when Cao Chuang made up his mind, he suddenly caught a message from a few minutes in the future, and then his eyes lit up.

"Brother He, your sister-in-law is from Xuzhou, right?" Cao Chuang asked He Zhen.

"Yes, what's wrong? Want to eat the dishes cooked by your sister-in-law?" He Zhen laughed and scolded.

"Sikong Cao abdicated." Cao Chuang said very seriously. Although it was all fleeting, Cao Chuang's fleeting light was in the cracks of the future, and from time to time it would bring Cao Chuang some future information. Although this information was only a few minutes later and could not be controlled by Cao Chuang, sometimes he would get some very surprising news.

"?" He Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then began to think about what Cao Chuang meant by this, and Cao Chuang did not explain.

"Really abdicated?" He Zhen asked very seriously.

"Yes, at most in three or four minutes, Brother Jing who came out of the Government Affairs Office will also secretly tell us." Cao Chuang nodded and said.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with me. Although my wife's family was affected, it was not serious, and my wife did not take the initiative to mention this. It is better for me not to participate. My wife probably doesn't want me to participate in this kind of thing." He Zhen thought about it and refused. There was no need to participate. He and Lao Cao did not have any deep hatred. As for the fact that his brother died under Cao Cao during the civil war, He Zhen also looked at this hatred very openly and did not remember Cao Cao.

"Then you can help me take the shift for a while." Cao Chuang said to He Zhen, and He Zhen nodded. Although he would not take the initiative to deal with Cao Cao, he would still do things like doing convenience.

After explaining a few words to He Zhen, Cao Chuang turned into floating light and disappeared from the spot. There are many Xuzhou brothers who serve as personal guards in Weiyang Palace. This news is a good thing for these brothers anyway.

"Prime Minister Cao has fallen." Guo Jia finished reading the secret report, handed the entire secret report and the information sent by Cao Ang to Zhuge Liang, and then said concisely.

"What the hell, how did Cao Sikong fall inexplicably?" Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia in confusion, "Wasn't it fine before? With Gongtai, Xun Wenruo and others, it shouldn't be like this, what do they do?"

Zhuge Liang turned a deaf ear to Chen Xi's words, took the secret report handed to him by Guo Jia and read it quickly, and then looked at Chen Xi and asked, "The title of the marquis can be inherited without replacement, Cao Sikong abdicated, and Cao Zixiu succeeded, there is no problem, but can the official position be privately transferred without the consent of the country?"

Zhuge Liang did not dwell on how Cao Cao fell, but stood in front of the national law and directly asked the most essential point of this matter. I, Zhuge Liang, have nothing to say about the inheritance of the title, but can Cao Cao also inherit the official position of the country privately?

In the great Han Dynasty, the three official positions can be directly transferred to others without the permission of the country?

Hereditary nobility was a game played in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. No matter how bad the recommendation system of the Han Dynasty was, at least it had to go through a set of procedures. Your father was the Sikong appointed by the state, so he could command a group of officers. After your father fell, you, Cao Ang, took over as Sikong and continued to command a group of officers?

Who do you think you are!

"Cao Zixiu controlled the generals of Kandahar in the capacity of Wei Hou. His rank is currently only the Zhongchao Changshi." Chen Xi said expressionlessly.

Although many Zhongchao Changshi were eunuchs, some were not eunuchs. Cao Ang's rank was this rank, which was not low. After all, there was no one who could enter the Zhongchao too low. After all, he was Cao Cao's son. But if you want to say how high it is, it is only that much higher than the two thousand stones for those present.

In addition, the position of Zhongchangshi is meaningful only if you are in the central government. If you are not in the central government, it can basically be considered a gimmick. Cao Ang is such a gimmick.

But regardless of whether it is a gimmick or not, the position of Zhong Changshi cannot command the army, let alone control the more than 100,000 troops in Kandahar. The soldiers are stationed in one place and manage the internal and external affairs. This is not the level of two thousand stones, but the level that everyone present has.

"Wei Hou is a title, not a real position. The general affairs of Kandahar are to be summarized in Chang'an. It is a war zone, not an independent vassal state." Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi and said with a smile. He had been waiting for this opportunity before, and now the opportunity has come.

There is no need to do anything extra, just follow the rules and procedures. The title can be inherited, but the official position cannot. Cao has fallen, and the three dukes are not Cao Ang. How can a mere Zhong Changshi manage the war zone and command the internal and external affairs? Who do you think you are?

"Cao Gong has only abdicated, but it has not been approved yet. Now Cao Ang is temporarily taking over Cao Gong's previous position and exercising his functions." Chen Xi said with a complicated expression. He has realized that Zhuge Liang has won at this point, because if Cao Cao abdicates completely, Cao Ang cannot take over according to the rules. Cao Ang can only take over the title, not the power.

After all, the power is granted by the state, not by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao cannot nominate his son as one of the Three Dukes. The current situation is unrealistic anyway.

This is actually a loophole, a link that is completely unacceptable if the people do not report it and the officials do not investigate it, but if Zhuge Liang comes out, this thing will be dead - what qualifications do you, Cao Cao, have to grant Cao Ang the status of controlling Kandahar? This kind of official position is also something you, Cao Cao, can give?

Even if it is a hereditary noble, it is not a reason for you, Cao Cao, to be one of the Three Dukes, and your son can also be one of the Three Dukes at this age. Who do you think you are, Cao Cao, and you regard the laws of the Han Dynasty as nothing?

"Then pass it. Why don't you let me, the old minister, pass it?" Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi calmly. Chen Xi was somewhat in a dilemma.

If Cao Cao abdicated, Cao Ang would have to face the problem of losing the legal system. The Marquis of Wei was the Marquis of Wei, and the Three Dukes were the Three Dukes. It was not because of the high rank that he led this group of people, but because you were the Sikong of the Han Dynasty, so you led this group of people.

If Cao Cao abdicated, and Cao Cao was sent back, everything before would become a joke. It would be better to kill Cao Cao. At least he would have a decent death. If he was sent back by force...

He died in an undignified way, and it could even be regarded as an explanation given by the Han Dynasty to Cao Cao.

"Agree to Sikong's request to leave his bones, not to enter Chang'an, give Cao Ang a seal, and control Kandahar to see the effect." Just when Chen Xi was in a dilemma, Li You turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang and gave a clear answer.

Lying down, not wanting to work at all, miserable
