When Guo Peng was shocked when he learned that Cao Cao suddenly fell ill, he hurriedly brought Cao Lan, who was also surprised, out of the palace with him and arrived at Cao's mansion to visit Cao Cao.

Then Guo Peng learned that Cao Cao had a stroke, and half of his body could not move, nor could he speak, his eyes could still turn, and he could make a "whimper" sound, that's all.

Cao Lan sat beside Cao Cao's bed holding Cao Cao's hand and wiped her tears. Guo Peng pulled Cao Ang outside to speak.

"What did Hua Tuo say?"

"Doctor BGI said that his father's life is safe at the moment, but his situation is still very bad. They went back to find a treatment. However, DrGI said that even if he is cured, his father's physical condition will not be able to adapt to normal office work."

Cao Ang was beyond regret, and held his hair with red eyes and said in great pain: "I should have stopped my father when he was busy before! My father is sixty-five years old, how can he withstand such a heavy task!"

Guo Peng knew that Guo Jin arranged for Cao Cao to take charge of monetary reform.

He set up a service team for Cao Cao, which was fully managed by Cao Cao. This was to express his trust in Cao Cao, but who knew that Cao Cao had a stroke.

Guo Peng sighed.

"How can I get to this point? Brother is too busy, Zixi, why don't you persuade your father?"

"How come I didn't give advice? But my father..."

Cao Ang sighed helplessly.

Seeing Cao Ang so helpless, Guo Peng had nothing else to do. He didn't understand medical skills. He only knew that stroke was a troublesome disease even in modern times.

The brain involves it, and the mortality rate is very high. Even if more people do not die, they will end up with disability. From then on, they will never be able to live normally. Living is a very painful thing.

Cao Cao's disease has made him unable to speak, half of his body cannot move, he has become paralyzed, obviously because his nerves are under pressure.

But in this situation now...

Should Hua Tuo have to undergo craniotomy?

Guo Peng didn't understand medical skills and could not show off his knowledge of not understanding the questions, so he went to the large clinic to ask what Hua Tuo should do.

"The Supreme Emperor, Cao Cao is too tired and has done too many things. If you are not careful, the wind evil enters the body and has such a disease. At present, we don't have many good solutions, so we can only consider the medicine."

"Precautions for medication... Cao Shoufu is 65 years old. How do you want to consider medication?"

Guo Peng's tone is not good.

Hua Tuo was in a very difficult situation.

"The Supreme Emperor, Cao's illness is in the brain and in the skull. It is very dangerous. We really have to be careful. Now we are also trying to find a way."

"What are you thinking of?"

Guo Peng looked at Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo lowered his head.

"Not yet, but I will do my best."

Guo Peng was not willing to force him too much, so he could only nod.

"Anyway, you know the identity of Chief Cao. There are some bad news. I don't want to hear that the large clinic has received so many financial appropriations from the court for so many years. I don't want you to be self-confidenceless!"

Hua Tuo nodded quickly.

"I will do my best, please rest assured to the Emperor!"

Guo Peng nodded and left with a worried look on his face.

After Guo Peng left, Zhang Ji walked to Hua Tuo and whispered: "Doctor, Cao Shoufu's disease is very difficult to treat. You may not be able to do so."

Hua Tuo shook his head helplessly.

"Some things cannot be escaped by me. Cao's status is special. Do you think I have many opportunities to choose? Don't think about these things, think of solutions to be true."

Hua Tuo then walked away to read ancient books and thought of a solution. Zhang Ji looked at Hua Tuo's back with a complicated expression.

The incident of Cao Cao falling ill is not a trivial matter for the entire Luoyang court, but it is not as if he cannot turn it away from Cao Cao's court. After all, Cao Cao is not the highest power owner, but no matter what, the impact is still there.

The work of the cabinet and the monetary reform group he led was greatly affected. No one did the work that needed Cao Cao to do, and urgently needed other people to act on behalf of him.

So while Guo Jin ordered Sun Chao, one of the cabinet's assistants, to replace Cao Cao and temporarily take charge of the matters of the cabinet, he ordered Mao Jie, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance, to take charge of the currency reform group and temporarily take on the work of the currency reform group.

Then, Guo Jin realized that he needed a new cabinet chief.

Although Cao Cao, the chief minister of the cabinet, was old, but generally obeyed the orders, so no matter what, Guo Jin did not think that Cao Cao was a target that must be ruled out.

He put Cao Ang into the cabinet mainly to praise Cao Cao for standing in the right team during the previous political turmoil, allowing them to reunite their father and son and enjoy family affection.

He didn't expect that Cao Cao mistakenly thought that he thought that the time for the emperor and the minister was coming, and he wanted to drive him out.

This is a huge misunderstanding.

But Cao Cao had such a misunderstanding that he worked too hard and ended up falling down, leaving a mess to worry Guo Jin.

The choice of the next cabinet chief has become a big problem.

Who should I choose?

Guo Jin read the resumes of many officials and finally made a decision.

Guo Jin called Zhang Zhao, and after a while of negotiations with him, he announced that since the cabinet chief Cao Cao was unable to perform his duties, the court decided to transfer the position of Jiaozhou Governor Man Chong to Beijing as the cabinet chief assistant.

Then Guo Jin announced that he would be transferred to Sun Wen, the assistant minister of the cabinet, to the Ministry of War, to go southeast to take over as the governor of Jiaozhou, and continue the work that Man Chong had not yet completed.

Guo Jin thought about it over and over again, because the chief minister of the cabinet was an important position. Although the Nanshu room had been established during the period of Guo Peng to weaken the power of the cabinet, the cabinet was still an organization that directly helped the emperor handle government affairs.

In terms of responsibilities, he can connect with the various departments of the Shangshutai, and the chief minister of the cabinet also holds audit powers. It is an important constraint on the eunuchs in the inner court. It is an indispensable position and requires officials who can trust enough to take on it.

Man Chong is such a person.

Cao Cao's illness has already made him paralyzed. Even if he can be cured, it will be a long time later.

Guo Jin summoned a doctor at the large clinic to inquire and came up with an accurate judgment. He knew that Cao Cao could not return to the front line to work, so he announced that Sikong, who was promoted to Cao Cao to one of the three ministers, allowed him to retreat to the second line and slowly recuperate.

The three public offices of the Wei Empire have been honored since its founding. They have only respected status and no actual power. Cai Yong, the only three-time minister in office, has passed away nearly two years. After two years, the Wei Empire has once again had top officials with three public offices.

Unfortunately, maybe Cao Cao would not be happy about it.

After learning the news, Cao Ang sighed, feeling regretful for Cao Cao, but also feeling relaxed for him.

After all, he retired after success. Although he used this method, Cao's family was completely safe.

In order to avoid some people saying that Guo Jin was a cunning rabbit and a lackey cooking dog, and to take care of his mother's feelings, Guo Jin asked Zhang Zhao to lower the order, transfer Cao Cao's second son Cao Pi and third son Cao Zhi back to Luoyang.

He asked Cao Pi to serve in Henan Yin Mansion and Cao Zhi to serve in the Censorate.

Calling Cao Cao's two sons back to Luoyang to serve him may make Cao Cao's mentality better and have a greater possibility of recovery. It is also a symbol of the emperor's favoritism to Cao.

But now that things have come to this point, judging by his age, everyone knows that Cao Cao can no longer take power again, and he has actually retired.

The huge power vacuum was taken over by Man Chong, who became the final winner, and Cao only received the treatment of his two sons returning to Beijing. If we count it, it is really hard to say that Cao was the winner.

However, Cao escaped unscrupulously, escaped from the complex high-level politics of the Wei Empire, and gained such honor as a relative of the outside world, which cannot be said to be a completely bad thing.

Moreover, all three sons returned to the capital. With the relationship between the Supreme Queen, they would not become middle-class families. The Cao family was also one of the top families in the Wei Empire.

Guo Peng did not raise any objection to Guo Jin's handling method.

More than a month later, Man Chong completed the government handover, endured the joy and returned to Luoyang, took over the position of chief minister of the cabinet, and then naturally took over as the leader of Cao Cao's currency reform group and began to engage in monetary reform.

Man Chong had a strong ability and quickly got started, doing all the work Cao Cao had not completed but had planned, and putting the task of monetary reform on a new agenda.

At the end of the fifth year of Xingyuan, Man Chong delivered three new legal coins of the Wei Empire minted by the Coin Centre to Guo Jin. After seeing it, Guo Jin liked it very much, and then immediately took it to Guo Peng for Guo Peng to show it.

"Is this...me?"

Guo Peng took these three exquisitely minted coins and looked at the portrait on the front of the coins. He looked quite like himself. Obviously, that was himself.

The fronts of gold, silver and copper coins are carved with their own busts.

"Yes, the craftsmen of the Coin Department referred to the method of minting gold coins in Kushan Kingdom, engraved the bust of his father on it, so that everyone who uses coins knew his father and knew his father."

Guo Jin said with a smile.

"Don't you carve your own bust on your head?"

"How can I? How can my son's little achievements be compared with his father? His father is the eternal creator of Wei State and no one can replace him."

Guo Jin's face was full of flattery.

Guo Peng smiled and looked at the back of the coin. He found that the face value and standard weight of the coin were engraved on the back of the coin, as well as the year, month and day of the coin, and the background was the Fengtian Hall of Luoyang.

There are also small characters engraved on the edge of the coin. When you look closely, you will find that there are auspicious words, such as [My Wei Kingdom will last for thousands of years].

Overall, these three coins are quite exquisite. After a little consideration, I found that the weight is very good.
