Chapter 19 Wei Qian advises the country

Sima Shu stepped forward to help Wei Qian and said with a smile: "Old lady, you have to live well to do your best!" If you can live for more than ten years, I will personally help you to bury the coffin! ”

The king's filial piety is a great honor, if Sima Shu can really achieve the holy king, then the Wei clan will also be in the annals of history! When Wei Qian heard this, not only did he not hide because of Sima Shu's words about death, but he was moved and smiled heartily: "Then you have to prepare filial piety as soon as possible!" ”

Sima Shu helped Wei Qian sit down and said, "Okay, I'll be ready when I go back today." Now that we have said it, I will not hide it, and now our arrangement in the court seems to have achieved its goal, but in fact, it will overturn if we are not careful. The vassal king is very ambitious, and once he realizes that I am using a black hand behind my back, he will not tolerate me. Now my father still has only one son, and he can still make the king jealous in the name, and once the draft is over, my younger siblings will almost be born.

That's when I and the people who cling to me become extremely dangerous. You always took on an errand, and naturally it was unavoidable. So after today, you should always divide one group and go outside to avoid the limelight. If things go bad, it's better than having the tribe wiped out. Not only you, but also Zhang Hua, Pei and others have to contribute. Now that the northern states and counties are complex, even hiding may not be useful, so I suggest you move south to Yangzhou. Although it is difficult there, the land is fertile, and as long as the situation is opened, it can support the family. ”

"This is a defeat before you win, right?"

"Of course, since you follow me, I can't teach you to end up! So that you can let go of your hands and feet, right? ”

"It's so good, if you need to, let me carry the coffin to take office, and I will never say anything!"

Saying that, Wei Qian turned to the topic and said: "The plan is decided, but it is difficult to implement!"

The nine products proposed by Emperor Wu are beneficial to the family family, and the history of the state is mostly from the family family, so this proposal passed the review as soon as it came out in the court. Now, if we want to do the opposite, we will not be able to implement it with a piece of paper. If you want to be ambitious, you must first muddy the waters, and only in turmoil can you destroy the foundation of the family. The difficulty is that chaos will not cause chaos! ”

"So what's the right thing to do?"

Wei Qian said in a deep voice: "Ten words, to be prepared for it, to be prepared for it, to be fast and slow!" ”

"Take it with preparation, take it with unpreparedness, fight fast and slowly..." Sima Shu's brows condensed into a pimple at these ten words, and after thinking for a while, he said uncertainly: "You mean to first hoard heavy troops on the side, and then lure the Feng King to rebel, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop." Take this opportunity to sweep the local clan into the dust, and then recommend it to the official. So that you have a thorough grasp of the place? ”

"Teachable!"

"That should also mean that the place is starting to be good?"

"Hahaha!" Wei Qian laughed and praised: "Not only is the child teachable, but he can also draw inferences, which is really unexpected!" ”

"The northern feudal kings and feudal kingdoms are connected, and the Hu people are mixed in. One is not good for the king to connect. Let the Hu people and the clan be embarrassed is to be everywhere, so the north is not easy to control, the south is close to the wilderness, and the war can be won and the bad is easy to govern. Now that Sima Wei, the king of Chu, is ambushed, there is no one to supervise the land of Jingxiang, and he can immediately send people to take this place as a bridgehead. Sima Wei's crime of conspiracy has been completed, and it is just right to bet on the mouth of the clan in the name of taboo. With Jingxiang as a bridgehead, Yangzhou can be expected and Changsha can be expected. ”

"Who is the right candidate?"

"The new Yellow Gate Squire Meng Guan!"

"Him?" Sima Shu remembered this person. When Pei Wei killed Sima Wei, it was Meng Guan's knife. On bravery, Meng Guan is one of the most brave people in the forbidden army. However, among the ten thousand armies, it is more about strategy, and the test of leading the army to the battle is loyalty, is he reliable?

Wei Qian seemed to see Sima Shu's worry and said, "Are you worried that he can't afford to take on a big job?" ”

Sima Shu nodded.

"It doesn't matter, he can run the army. Choose another ruler so that you can keep each other in check! He is close to Zhang Hua Pei, let Zhang Hua have a son to go with him, and he will not repeat! ”

Although Wei Qian replied quickly, it was thoughtful. Zhang Hua's ancestor is the Han Dynasty Zhang Liang, who has been a Confucian source for generations, of course, will not rebel, Zhang Hua's son Zhang Yi also served in the East Palace, and they are familiar with each other. Sima Shu thought about it and nodded: "Then Zhang Yi!" ”

Sima Shu agreed that the most important point was that Zhang Yi had studied in the East Palace.

Sima Shu had already decided that in the future, all officials above the fourth rank must have been in Taixue before they could be officially appointed.

This routine has been proven in later generations to be a very mature administrative method. At the time of the Great Song Imperial Examination, the last assessment of all scholars was conducted by the emperor himself. Therefore, Shizimen is also known as the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and there is the oath of Song Taizu to rule the world with the Shizi in front, and the alliance between the scholars and the king of the Song Dynasty has always been very strong, so there are very few examples of successful rebellion of warriors!

Sima Shu is ready to use it!

It is not enough to have the framework of Taixue, but also the concept of learning.

In the early Qin Dynasty, there was a difference between being a king and being domineering, and in the later Han Dynasty, there was a saying that Confucianism and Taoism were worshipped. In the Jin Dynasty, the Sima clan usurped Wei and completely lost the Confucian camp

After Yang Jun was killed, Empress Jia Nanfeng was about to depose Empress Dowager Yang (Empress Yang Zhi of Wu Mourning), and at that time, the ministers discussed the matter in the court, and most of the people obeyed the will and thought that the Empress Dowager should be deposed. Only Zhang Hua thought that he should follow the example of the Han Dynasty abolishing the Empress Dowager Zhao as the queen of filial piety, degrading the title of the empress dowager, still calling Empress Wu and living in another palace. The opinion was not adopted, so the queen mother was abolished as a concubine.

In the same year, Sima Wei, the king of Chu, was ordered to kill Sima Liang, the king of Dazai Runan, Tai Baoqian and others. Zhang Hua told Emperor Hui: "Sima Wei killed the second duke without authorization, and the soldiers acted in a hurry, thinking that it was the will of the state, so they listened to Sima Wei." Now His Majesty can send a special envoy to hold a banner to let the foreign army lift martial law, and the incident can be calmed down. Emperor Hui adopted Zhang Hua's opinion, and Sima Wei was really defeated. After Sima Wei was killed, Zhang Hua was worshiped as the right Guanglu doctor because of his meritorious work first, and he opened the palace with the three divisions, the servants, and the middle secretary, and wore a gold seal and purple ribbon. Zhang Hua resigned from the post of Kaifu Yi and the Third Division.

Jia Mi and Empress Jia discussed together, thinking that Zhang Hua was born in the Shu clan, elegant and strategic, and had no doubts about coercing the monarch at the top, and was expected by everyone at the bottom, and planned to rely on him to be the chief regent of the court, and consult him on major matters. But he still hesitated, so he asked Pei Bei's opinion, Pei Bei usually respects Zhang Hua very much and agrees with this matter very much. Zhang Hua was then reused, he was loyal to the country, assisted the government, and made up for the shortcomings, although when Emperor Hui was weak and brutal and rampant, the world was still stable, which was all Zhang Hua's credit. Zhang Hua was afraid that the strong power of Empress Jia's relatives would cause disaster, so he created "Female Shi Zhen" to satirize and persuade. Although Empress Jia has a fierce and jealous personality, she still respects Zhang Hua. A few years later, the imperial court posthumously discussed Zhang Hua's exploits before and after, and promoted him to the title of Zhuangwu County Duke. Zhang Hua pushed more than a dozen times, and Emperor Hui issued an edict urging enlightenment, and Zhang Hua accepted.
