Chapter 0282 Gongsun Zan’s memorial that spread all over the world, the worries of Cao Cao’s advisers!!
Tao Qian’s memorial to the court, requesting the removal of the governor, has not yet completely ended.
The court appointed Tao Qian as Sikong, Marquis of Tan, and gave him a fief of 10,000 households. The shock it brought is still there.
At this time when the world was in chaos.
A memorial from Gongsun Zan, the governor of Youzhou.
Once again spread all over the world.
Shocked the whole world…
Gongsun Zan, the governor of Youzhou, kowtowed a hundred times and respectfully reported to the court: I, Gongsun Zan, have been blessed by the emperor and guarded Youzhou, working day and night to ensure peace. However, looking at the world recently, the princes have risen together. Although the post of governor is nominally granted by the court, it is actually suspected of being a mercenary.
It has caused unrest in the world and the people are restless.
I am deeply worried and can’t sleep at night.
Now I heard that Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, is well aware of the righteousness and took the initiative to remove the post of governor and restore the system of governors.
The intention is to eliminate disputes and restore the authority of the court. This move is indeed a model for the world.
I admire Tao Qian so much that I want to follow his example, remove the post of Youzhou Mu, and restore the post of Youzhou Governor.
I know that this move needs the approval of the court before it can be implemented.
So I dare to submit a memorial, hoping that Your Majesty will be wise and see through my sincerity and approve my request.
In this way, Youzhou can be expected to restore peace, the people can live and work in peace, and the world can gradually move towards peace.
I, Gongsun Zan, am willing to be loyal to the court, protect the people, and defend the country.
If Your Majesty can approve my request, I will fulfill my duties and live up to your grace.
I, Gongsun Zan, hereby submit this memorial, hoping for your judgment.
Gongsun Zan’s memorial fully affirmed Tao Qian’s deep understanding of justice.
He also expressed that he was moved and wanted to follow suit and asked the court for approval.
After this memorial was spread all over the world, officials from all over the world were shocked.
Everyone’s eyes were on the few remaining governors.
If everyone followed suit, they would still be loyal ministers of the Han court.
But if they continued to do so and relied on their own troops, they would have to doubt the intentions of these governors.
These governors would become the target of public criticism.
At that time, the court’s crusade would be justified.
Yanzhou, Juancheng.
In the meeting hall of Zhicheng, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it seemed as if even the air had solidified.
The dim candlelight cast mottled shadows on everyone’s faces.
Everyone’s expression looked solemn and complicated.
Cao Cao sat upright in the main seat, tapping the table with his fingers, making a rhythmic”tap tap” sound.
In the corner of the hall,
Xun Yu, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and others were talking in low voices.
Their brows were furrowed, and they exchanged glances from time to time.
They were obviously worried about the content of Gongsun Zan’s memorial.
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, two tiger generals, stood expressionlessly.
They knew that this matter was very difficult to handle.
If the Lord Cao Cao does not give up the military power, he will fall into the hands of many doctors.
But they are fearless.
Even if there is a huge gap in strength, they dare to face the challenge.
Generals such as Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, and Cao Zhen whispered together.
They are a little worried about the future, but they are not afraid of any challenge.
Only Cao Ang hopes that his father Cao Cao can follow Tao Qian’s example.
Since exploring Luoyang City once.
Cao Ang no longer has the confidence to defeat Gu Chang’an.
On the contrary, Xun Yu, who accompanied him, did not lose confidence like him.
Cao Ang knew very well that it was not that Xun Yu was braver than him.
It was because the Xun family of Yingchuan, under the command of the great general Gu Chang’an, also had people, but his Cao family was different.
If he imitated Tao Qian, the family’s wealth and even official positions could be preserved.
But if he was attacked by the court.
I am afraid that his family would be destroyed.
The Cao family of Qiao County may be difficult to save.
Cao Cao suddenly stopped knocking.
He raised his head and scanned the crowd with his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
He said in a low voice:”Gongsun Zan has also learned from Tao Qian!”
“Want to remove the post of governor and restore the post of provincial governor!”
“Do you think Gongsun Zan acted on impulse, imitating Tao Qian, or had colluded with Gu Changan long ago?”
Xun Yu stepped forward, bowed and said,”My lord, Gongsun Zan’s action is probably not an impulse!”
“He must have made this decision after careful consideration!”
“He even colluded with Gu Changan a long time ago!”
Xun Yu’s eyes revealed deep worry.
“I’m afraid this matter cannot be handled properly and will inevitably cause a chain reaction!”
“At least Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is an uncertain factor!”
Chen Gong added:”Wen Ruo is right, we have to be on guard!”
A trace of worry flashed across his face.
“My Lord, should we take other measures immediately?”
“This series of events feels like Gu Changan is testing our bottom line!”
“If we ignore it, Gu Changan will surely press on step by step and make us the target of public criticism!”
Cao Cao sneered and said,”I have already expected this day to come!”
“But I didn’t expect it to be Gongsun Zan!”
“He was defeated by Yuan Shao several times and was already disheartened, yet he was willing to give up his family business!” Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu nodded slightly and said,”My lord is wise, we might as well wait and see what happens!””
“If necessary, we can unite with Yuan Shao and jointly resist the imperial army!”
There was a hint of ferocity in his tone.
“General Gu Changan has never been defeated. As long as we can withstand his attack!”
“Let him taste the taste of failure, maybe we can use this opportunity to expand our influence!”
Xiahou Dun snorted coldly and said,”It’s a pity that we are separated from Gongsun Zan by Jizhou!”
“Otherwise, I will lead the troops and capture him directly!”
Xiahou Yuan also echoed:”Or we can join forces with Yuan Shao to attack Gongsun Zan together?”
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head:”Don’t be too hasty!”
“Although Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao, his power in Youzhou was deeply rooted and it was not so easy to take him down!”
“Moreover, our main goal now is to stabilize Yanzhou and prepare for future defense!”
Everyone in the meeting hall nodded in agreement.
For a moment, the entire meeting hall fell silent again.
Everyone was thinking about how to deal with this matter. ps: Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, give flowers, comment, reward, and comment!
