Chapter 10 Chapter Two

Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, plus Cao Cao, the officers and soldiers of the three groups together slaughtered tens of thousands of people, and the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan was suppressed.They then went to fight the Yellow Turban Army in the boundary between Runan and Chen Guo counties.Bocai, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army here, had no way out and committed suicide.Once the leader died, the soldiers had no owner, and they were unable to resist in chaos, and soon fled separately. In Huangfusong's last memorial, he reported to Han Lingdi the situation of the victory and Zhu Jun's contribution, and also wrote Cao Cao.

General He Jin asked Emperor Ling to designate Huangfusong as Marquis of Duxiang and Zhu Jun as Marquis of Xixiang. He promoted Cao Cao and transferred him to be Prime Minister of Jinan. Cao Cao's appointment as Prime Minister of Jinan is a big step forward in terms of official rank.On the day before he left the cavalry regiment, he prepared enough wine and meat to have fun with the soldiers.This is a farewell ceremony with the cavalry regiment, and the second is that since the cavalry regiment won the battle, it has not celebrated its victory, which is equivalent to celebrating the victory with the victory wine.In addition, there is another meaning, which is due to Cao Cao's self-congratulation consciousness.For the first two, he said it openly, and expressed it verbally when he raised wine to drink with the soldiers.But the last point only shone brightly in his heart, when he raised the wine, he congratulated himself.Celebrating his progress in official career, he was promoted from Yilang to Prime Minister of Jinan; congratulating his first successful practice of military command ability, commanding cavalry, the first victory in the first battle; Flattery, second, do not rely on relationships, only rely on one's own talents and abilities to expand one's future.The reinstatement of Yilang officer is the first proof.It was a great success to be promoted to Prime Minister of Jinan by virtue of his military merits as a riding captain.

When he was excited, he wanted to recite poems again, but in the face of thousands of soldiers, he could only substitute wine for poems, raising his bowl frequently, shouting loudly, so lively and bold. At this time, grandfather Cao Teng was dead, and all the wealth of Wan Guan's family belonged to Cao Song.Cao Cao, as his father's only legal heir, is not interested in rich family wealth.As if the family wealth had nothing to do with him, he allowed his father to count and take over, but he didn't touch his hands.He only has compassion for his grandfather, he likes this grandfather, and it can be said that this grandfather has further expanded his grand ambitions.He will never forget the many words this grandfather said to him, which he has always regarded as the enlightenment chapter of political education.

But my father is very different from my grandfather. My father loves money like his life and is short-sighted.Now that he has a strong family, he certainly doesn't want Cao Cao to leave home and venture out.Although I went to Jinan to serve as an official, but in this troubled and eventful autumn, with Cao Cao's character and temper, how could he not do something extraordinary? And something that is extraordinary always has a lot of adventure. Of course, Cao Cao would not be hindered by his father. Even when he was a child, he would not follow his father's baton, and tried every means to realize his interests and hobbies.What's more, now, he has already become an independent adult, and he will not change in the slightest because of his father.His father can't change him, and he can't change his father. We can only get what we need and help each other.

So, Cao Cao comforted his father with good words, and immediately took office. Cao Cao still had the political ideals of his early years, and the new official took office vigorously and resolutely.Like many places in Jinan, officials are corrupt and embezzlement is rampant.Of course, Cao Cao wanted to rectify according to his own ideals. He could not tolerate the corrupt and incompetent officialdom under his rule, let alone the rampant evil and chaos in the place he ruled.After a detailed understanding, he finally figured out various phenomena and problems and their ins and outs, and he decided to carry out purges and reforms one by one.

In Jinan, there is a Han family clan named Liu Zhang, relying on his relationship with the emperor, he can do whatever he wants.Because of his great power, many people with other plans moved closer to him and fawned on him.Liu Zhang believes in ghosts and gods, and often has contacts with people of Shinto.A few ruffians in the west city of Jinan followed suit, calling themselves the "Tianlong Sect" and flattering Liu Zhang many times.One of the leaders is Chen Tianlong, who is quite familiar with the Book of Changes, gossip, Yin-Yang and Five Elements.Every time I talk with Liu Zhang, I read hands, faces, and divination for him. Most of the palmistry, face, and hexagrams are auspicious, so Liu Zhang is very happy.

Once, after divination for Liu Zhang, Chen Tianlong said: "Emperor Liu's relatives are very lucky, and this time I go hunting, I will definitely get a big harvest, but I have dark spots in my fortune, such as small moles on the face, which must be removed. Nothing was lost." Liu Zhang asked urgently: "How to remove it, please ask the master for advice." Chen Tianlong said: "I have checked all around the emperor's relatives. The four directions are unobstructed. Only the two corners have stagnant air, which is obviously dark. That's it." Liu Zhang patted his forehead, thinking about what was blocking him in the northwest corner where he lived.No matter how you think about it, you can't be sure.In the northwest corner, there are many things, there are corridors, pavilions, rockeries, and walls...

Chen Tianlong said at this time: "The inspection by the imperial family is too small. Anything belonging to the imperial family will not be blocked. Obviously it should be something outside the wall. According to my calculations, it is outside the northwest wall. A hundred steps away, there must be a newly built house recently, and that is the stagnation on the road of the emperor's fortune." Liu Zhang immediately sent someone to look at it, and sure enough, a hundred steps outside the northwest wall, three large houses were newly built recently.When Liu Zhang heard about it, he couldn't help being furious, and immediately sent someone to demolish it.He also thanked Chen Tianlong, the leader of "Tianlong Sect", and gave him gold and silver.Chen Tianlong was secretly happy, he killed two birds with one stone this time, the owners of the three big houses had been having a rift with him recently, he borrowed Liu Zhang's hand to smash his new nest, it was considered a relief for a while.At the same time, they also received rewards of gold and silver.

On the basis of his "Tianlong Sect" being favored by Liu Zhang, Chen Tianlong made further progress, so he wanted to overhaul the Tianlong Sect Temple to worship the Dragon God.He did this with two intentions. One was to expand the influence of the Heavenly Dragon Sect in order to raise his own prestige and authority; Chen Tianlong asked Liu Zhang to approve and support his actions. Liu Zhang fully agreed and donated several thousand taels of silver to build the Tianlong Temple.When Cao Cao came to Jinan to take office, the Temple of the Tianlong Sect had already been built. Although the scale was not large, the incense was very prosperous.

Cao Cao entered the Tianlong Temple because of his investigation, and he found that the people who entered the temple to pay tribute were mostly reluctant.So, he went out of the temple and stopped the people who went to the temple to offer incense and tribute, and asked about the rules and regulations of the Tianlong Temple.
