After returning from the morning court, Cao Chong quickly went to the main hall of the outer palace to handle official duties.

The official duties in Cao Chong are mainly divided into three aspects.

The first aspect is the matter with Luoyang fief. Luoyang is within the boundary of Sizhou, not Cao Cao's fief. Logically speaking, the kings and lords usually only care about the administrative management of the fief.

However, Cao Chong had a large group of scholars who had surrendered, and it was unreasonable not to arrange some work for them. With Cao Cao's tacit approval, Cao Chong threw all the scholars into Luoyang.

The reason why Cao Chong threw these people into Luoyang was not only to let them have something to do, but even if he wanted to form his own group.

After all, the official positions that Cao Chongluo's Yanghou Mansion can provide are limited, and there are not many opportunities for promotion to work in Luoyang Marquis Mansion.

In this place, except for his own wisdom group, Cao Chong will not arrange people here.

Luoyang belongs to the local area. As long as you work there for a few years, you will be qualified people after you come out. At that time, Cao Chong will be in operation and let them become a seventh-rank official, similar to a literary officer, Taichang officer, and Cao Zheng, who is more than enough to be an official position like an official in the East and West.

After all, Cao Chong was young and most of the people who were in the court now stood in a neutral position, while the others who were not neutral officials had already belonged to him.

Although Cao Chong has many people in the army, his power in the court is just a piece of paper compared to Cao Pi.

In fact, let alone compared with Cao Pi, even compared with Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi's forces in the court were all over his eighteen streets.

Cao Chong had only two people who could show off his strength in the court. Among the civil servants was Xin Pi, the official position of Shi Zhong. The official position of Shi Zhong was quite powerful, but the people around Xin Pi were actually Cao Pi's people. Although he was Shi Zhong, he was no different from a idle position.

If you can’t even issue a government order, what kind of servant is he?

Among the military generals, there was only one Zhang Liao who was really standing behind Cao Chong. However, Zhang Liao was a surrendered general after all, and he was a military general and was not a relative of the Cao family. He could not gain much voice for Cao Chong.

Therefore, Cao Chong was really weak in the court. If Cheng Yu and Xun You had not taken good care of Cao Chong, otherwise, Cao Chong's situation would have been worse than that in the court.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's team forces were established in more than ten years, while Cao Chong's forces were established in only three years, and the two were incomparable.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Chong wanted to cultivate his confidants, and it is obvious that Luoyang is a good place to experience it.

People like Guo Xiao, Lu Song and Lu Xun were all thrown into Luoyang by Cao Chong. It took two or three years to calculate the time.

In two or three years, as long as there are some political achievements, Cao Chong is sure to let them take a good position.

Because Situ was Hua Xin at this time, and Hua Xin was a minister in a neutral position at this time.

Hua Xin didn't want to associate with Cao Pi, Cao Zhi or Cao Chong. Of course, if the people provided by Cao Chong had no problems and had enough qualifications, he wouldn't mind arranging these people to the position Cao Chong wanted to arrange according to the regulations.

This is Cao Chong's first government affairs, and the second aspect is naturally trivial matters in the mansion and banquets. Although these things are cumbersome and seem useless, they are unavoidable.

It is useless, it is just on the surface, but in fact, this aspect is extremely important to Cao Chong.

Banquets and entertainment not only allowed Cao Chong to enjoy his spare time, but the most important thing was to save Cao Chong a lot of reputation.

Like those reputations, they have always been made up by business.

Of course, attending various banquets not only made Cao Chong famous, but also made Cao Chong know many people.

High-ranking officials, famous hermits, peddlers and pawns...

Those who can invite Cao Chong to the banquet are rarely from Cao Pi or Cao Zhi. Although they can't bring any benefits to Cao Chong in the short term, they have unusual significance in the long run.

Besides, Cao Chong is in urgent need of manpower now.

The third aspect of work is somewhat secret, and Cao Chong usually puts it behind to see it.

That is information about all aspects of Yecheng.

After Cao Chong attacked Jiangdong, he made a lot of money in war. Coupled with the Xin family's wine business and his fief income in Luoyang, Cao Chong is now said to be one of the richest men in Yecheng.

Of course, Cao Chong, who was so rich, naturally did not put them in the warehouse to rot, so Cao Chong spent them on the blade.

A large amount of money was given to Bao.

Although Bao Chu was Xu Du's gossip, he also had a considerable reputation in Yecheng. In addition to the money Cao Chong gave him, he soon cleaned up the entire underground world of Yecheng.

With the foundation of Bao's release, Cao Chong combined the model of the Jinyiwei in the later generations to include many gangsters in the market, specifically asking them to collect information. Of course, the people Cao Chong included were not only gangsters in the market, but also managers and servants from various mansions.

Cao Chong put a lot of effort into this matter, so the information he received was relatively correct.

War always begins in intelligence wars, and the battle for the throne is no exception.

Cao Chong wanted to suppress Cao Zhi and Cao Pi in terms of intelligence.

Cao Chong named this underground work organization Qingyi Tower, and the people inside were called Qingyiwei.

The Qingyiwei sent information to Cao Chong every day, and today is no exception.

Cao Chong looked through yesterday's information, but his brows couldn't help but frown.

Zhuge Liang actually went to Sima Yi to drink?

Cao Chong shook his head with a headache. Since Liu Bei was executed, Zhuge Liang has been trapped in a life of dogs and horses. Cao Chong didn't know whether he was pretending or he really went crazy because of excessive sadness.

In short, he likes to play whatever he likes, Cao Chong can still afford to raise a person.

If he can do his best to do things for himself, it will naturally be a great thing. If he cannot, Cao Chong would not force him.

Of course, if Zhuge Liang stood on the side of the enemy, Cao Chong would never be ruthless.

In these three years, Cao Chong's hands have been stained with enough blood, not less than Zhuge Liang's blood.

When Cao Chong handled today's intelligence and government affairs, the golden crow was soaring, and it was already above Cao Chong's head.

Fortunately, it is spring now. After the snow melts, everything revives. Such violent sunlight shines in, not only does not make Cao Chong feel hot, but instead feels a little warm.

Just as Cao Chong was thinking about how to arrange his itinerary today, a slightly neutral and harsh voice had already come in.

"June, the king invites you to Dutingchi, the king wants to see you."

Cao Chong looked up and saw that he looked like a person who looked thirty-four years old. He had no beard on his face and his Adam's apple was not particularly prominent. He was wearing the black palace servant costume and an unusually bright smile on his face.

Cao Chong glanced at him and a smile appeared on his face.

This person is Liu Yong, now the Central Officer of the Palace of Wei, responsible for Cao Cao's daily life. He is an important figure around Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao learned from Emperor Ling of Han and had very strict constraints on these eunuchs, such as collusion with the outside world: if he found out that the eunuch had something to do with the outside world, he would immediately execute him without any mercy.

Such a eunuch who is disabled and has no power or power will naturally not have much status in Yecheng.

Others may look down on such people, but Cao Chong did not look down on such people. Since he is a person around Cao Cao, it has great value to him.

Even if you just say a few good things to yourself in front of Cao Cao every day, that's enough.

Cao Chong took out a brocade bag from the secret compartment, which was filled with broken gold. Cao Chong threw the brocade bag in front of Liu Yong.

Liu Yong was agile and grabbed the wallet. Obviously, it was not the first time he had done this.

"Thank you, marquis!" Looking at Liu Yong's charming look, Cao Chong stood up and asked, "What's the matter with my father?"

If it were an ordinary person, Liu Yong would naturally not inform Cao Cao of his purpose, but Cao Chong was not an ordinary person. As long as he gave a bag of gold lumps every time, Liu Yong would also tell the matter.

"The king seems to be asking the king for the plan for the northern expedition."

The strategy for the Northern Expedition?
