The book is followed last time.

"My brother Xingzhi, alcohol is harmful to your health. If you continue to drink like this, be careful that your body cannot bear it.

Besides, I have something to do today, so I really can't stay drunk with you until I'm drunk.

Otherwise, after you finish your work today, you will have a drink with you in the evening?”

"Then...then that's it." Li Zhi responded with a drunken look, then put the wine jar in his hand aside.

Then, he lay down on the table next to him as if he was about to fall asleep.

However, his eyes did not close, but instead squinted at the heads of the family present.

"..." The heads of the family were furrowed when Li Zhi saw them, but they didn't dare to say anything, for fear of annoying Li Zhi.

To be honest, these heads of the family don’t want to stay here for a moment. There is a drunk Li Zhi here, and they feel terrified every time they breathe.

But today they came here to ask Cao Cao for his official position, which is the common interest of their aristocratic family.

Therefore, no matter how scared they are in their hearts, they can only endure their fear and stay here.

However, although they stayed here, no one dared to speak, and just looked at the head of the Yuan family ahead.

The position of the leader of a noble family not only means power, but also responsibility!

Since the head of the Yuan family is the leader of the aristocratic family, he must stand up at this critical moment.

The head of the Yuan family also understood this, so after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and said to Cao Cao: "I dare to ask my lord, may we believe what the lord say?"

After hearing the words of the head of the Yuan family, Cao Cao's face changed, he nodded solemnly, and said, "Although Gu is not an emperor, it is not considered a way to follow the words, but Gu is a dignified man, and what he said will not go back on his word!"

When saying these words, Cao Cao was also full of helplessness.

Although he had long expected that the people of the aristocratic family came here to ask for official positions, he did not expect that the head of the Yuan family would force him to the corner of the wall as soon as he spoke.

The head of the Yuan family asked this, could Cao Cao have a second answer? Can he still say that he intends to go back on his word?

"The lord is really a trustworthy person!" The head of the Yuan family did not care whether Cao Cao said this sincerely or perfunctorily, he only knew that Cao Cao said he would not go back on his word!

So, he immediately said a compliment, and nailed Cao Cao's words to death.

Then, he struck while the iron was hot and asked, "A few days ago, the lord clearly stated in the lobby that no matter who solved the trouble of the princes for the lord, he would be allowed to choose the position under his command. Does the lord still remember this?"

"Of course I remember" until now, Cao Cao can't slap himself in the face.

So he nodded with a serious face and said, "I still said the same thing. As long as I solve the troubles of the princes, I will never be stingy with my official position!"

After saying that, he pretended to be puzzled and asked the head of the Yuan family: "Why did Mr. Yuan bring up this matter? Does Mr. Yuan have a way to solve the disturbances of the princes?

If this is true, then please let Mr. Yuan say clearly that as long as Mr. Yuan’s method is useful, all the official positions under his command will be selected by Mr. Yuan!”

"Haha..." After hearing Cao Cao's words, the head of the Yuan family stroked his goatee with a complacent look on his face and said, "I have not only thought of a solution, but have already solved the problem of the princes' affairs for the lord!

I am here today to ask for merit from my lord!”

After saying these words, his eyes at Cao Cao were filled with joking.

He knew that Cao Cao must have known what their aristocratic family had done, and he wanted to see how Cao Cao would deal with the next thing.

Did you go back on your word? Or did you pinch your nose and accept it?

The head of the Yuan family was very curious about what choice Cao Cao would make?

"Oh?" Although I had known about this for a long time, Cao Cao still pretended to be ecstatic and asked, "Is this really the case?!

I wonder what Mr. Yuan used to solve the problem? Tell me out and open my eyes."

"..." After hearing Cao Cao's words, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He didn't think Cao Cao didn't know the actions of their aristocratic family, but why did Cao Cao ask clearly?

However, since Cao Cao had already asked questions, he couldn't remain silent.

So, he beautified what their aristocratic family did and said it carefully to Cao Cao.

After saying that, he smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, the strength of the princes is not as strong as that of the lord, so they dare not lose bother with the lord.

Now the princes sent people to harass the lord's command, and my aristocratic family immediately sent someone to respond.

In this way, the princes knew that if they dared to continue to use these tricks, they would be the ones who ended up suffering!

Therefore, the matter of the princes disturbing the realm has subsided, and the lord can develop with peace of mind."

After saying that, the head of the Yuan family stared at Cao Cao to see how he reacted.

But what he didn't expect was that after listening to his words, Cao Cao did not pick on his bones or force himself to smile, but looked frowning.

Cao Cao said that this look made the head of the Yuan family very puzzled. According to his calculations, Cao Cao would have two reactions after hearing his words.

First, Cao Cao planned to go back on his word. In this way, he would be able to pick on the bones and make the behavior of the aristocratic family uselessly, so as to shirk his original promises.

Second, after hearing this, Cao Cao forced himself to accept the matter with a smile because of his face and prestige, and kept his promise to give his official position to their aristocratic family.

But beyond the expectations of the head of the Yuan family, Cao Cao did not show the two expressions he expected, but instead looked sad. What the hell is this?

Although the matter was a bit unexpected, the head of the Yuan family could not let Cao Cao stay there.

So after hesitating for a while, he took the initiative to ask, "Why are the lords frowning? But what my aristocratic family does is not in line with the lord's wishes?"

"Not this?" Cao Cao sighed long after hearing the words of the head of the Yuan family, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although what you do in aristocratic family is a bit extraordinary, they are all for the sake of loneliness. How can you blame you for waiting?"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, the head of the Yuan family changed his face and said to himself: "Sure enough!"

Although Cao Cao's words sound good, his meaning inside and outside the words all indicate that their aristocratic family did something wrong!

Cao Cao only started because their aristocratic family did this wrong for the sake of Cao Cao's good, so Cao Cao could not punish the aristocratic family.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, the head of the Yuan family felt relieved.

Because Cao Cao said this, it proved that Cao Cao did not escape the two situations he had expected.

Isn’t Cao Cao just taking the blame of their aristocratic family in disguise to shirk the promise that day?

The head of Yuan had already expected this situation, so he winked at a small head of the family without any trace.

There are some things that he, the leader of the aristocratic family, should not say, but these little heads have no such concerns.

So he arranged for a small head of the family to speak for him in advance.

After seeing the look of the Yuan family, the little head immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Cao Cao, and said, "Duke Cao, no matter whether the actions of our aristocratic families are right or wrong, we have indeed cracked the princes' disturbances!

Now, please keep your promise!"

After saying that, he immediately stood up and looked at Taotao with bright eyes, looking generously as if he had died.

Since he took over the task of the head of the Yuan family, he has not thought he had the right to survive!

Because he felt that Cao Cao was a prince, he would definitely be angry after being plotted against him.

Even if he dared not take action against a big family head like the Yuan family, he would inevitably be angry and embarrassed to find a small family head to vent his anger.

And he is the one who is vented!

However, the little head of the family did not regret it, because before coming here, the head of the Yuan family promised him in front of everyone that if he really died of Cao Cao's anger, their family would be given more official positions!

For the benefit of his family, the little head of the family is willing to give up this one hundred pounds!

"..." However, beyond the expectations of the head of the family, Cao Cao was not angry after hearing his words, but shook his head and sighed and said, "Who do you think of Gu as?!

If you really solve the problem of the princes disturbing the realm, even if your aristocratic family asks for more official positions, they will never be stingy!

However, the key to the matter is that now I am not sure whether the loss-making plan you are waiting for will work!

What if the princes don’t care about the little harm you bring to them and still send troops to harass the orphans’ border?

Can you guarantee that after you attack Yanzhou, the princes will definitely not continue to harass the orphan border?"

"This..." After hearing this, the little head of the family did not dare to make a promise, so he could only turn his attention to the head of the Yuan family.

"..." Seeing this, the head of the Yuan family said after a while of silence, "Is the lord too worried?

The rule of the princes is not as great as that of the lord. When they know that the lord intends to lose both sides, how dare they continue to harass the lord's border?"

"This is not accurate!" Cao Cao shook his head and said, "After all, although you waited to send troops to harass Yanzhou, the results you got were only a few thousand!

For a prince, there are only a few thousand people, just a drop in the bucket. How could they care?

Let’s talk about it…”

When he said this, he turned his head, looked at the head of the Yuan family with a deep sense, and said, "According to the news that I have received, although you have killed and injured thousands of people under Zhang Yan's command, you have also lost tens of thousands of people!

In the end, more than 10,000 troops were exchanged for the Chen family’s son!
