Cao Chao has not yet performed the crown ceremony, and theoretically cannot be pro-government, but must be assisted by important ministers to exercise royal power. Of course, no matter how young the emperor is, he is also an emperor, and if he really wants to jump out and say a few words, even if he doesn't consider the issue of settling accounts after the autumn, the ministers can't turn a deaf ear. Therefore, the one who can restrain Cao Chao is either a meritorious veteran like Xun and a powerful minister, or a royal veteran like Cao De - it's a pity that Cao Quji was born with a small transparent attribute, and no one really takes his words seriously.

In addition, there is still one person who can restrain Cao Chao, and that is the Empress Dowager Bian. Although there is no blood relationship, the Bian family is Cao Cao's main family after all, the nominal grandmother of the little emperor, even if the woman should not interfere in politics according to tradition, but if she insists on interfering, the little emperor will not dare to listen disrespectfully to the teachings.

Of course, Cao Chao must be unhappy in his heart: Grandma, if you are directly regent like Empress Lu in the early Han Dynasty, it is just that, and now you keep saying that you will not interfere in political affairs, but you prevent me from sending Xiahou Chong to the expedition, and issued an edict to pardon Cao Hong, so that the heroes and in-laws take you as their backers, and they can act unscrupulously, even if I am pro-government in the future, can I still restrain it?

If you have grievances in your heart and have to confide in others, of course you can only find Cui Yan and Yang Xiu. But there's nothing they can do about it—can we still manage the Queen Mother? I can only follow the little emperor and sigh. Cui Yan came down and discussed with his henchmen again - Shen Zong and Qu Wen had already gone out, and there was only one He Yan left in front of him. Uncle He Ping was originally more disgusted with the Bian family: The first emperor regarded me as a son, but Bian Hou refused to take care of it, and when his son Cao Pi was the prince, he also obstructed the first emperor from granting me an official several times, and his mother and son were so hateful!

So He Yan took the opportunity to say: "Pardon and assist in state affairs, and Princess Bishanyang will sarcastically mock the Empress Dowager." The princess is the daughter of the Empress Dowager, and she is married. The Empress Dowager is almost the same as the Shi clan. It is the government of the clan to change the king's desire. It will be scratched - now the auxiliary country is pardoned, and if it refuses to obey orders, I am afraid that the new policy will be difficult to implement. ”

Cao Hong took the initiative to jump out against the New Deal, but he did not receive any substantive punishment, and he refused to admit his guilt, so with him as an example, villains will follow suit, can your New Deal still be implemented?

Cui Yan frowned and asked, "What can I do?" Can Uncle Ping teach me? ”

He Yan said that the things of the past could only be done by him. Our strength is still insufficient, and we cannot completely reverse the situation, but we must be vigilant against similar incidents being staged again and again - "The queen mother is isolated from the inside and outside, and the queen mother does not see the princess, and she does not interfere in politics." ”

Cui Yan frowned, saying that you are crazy, if you really do this, what is the difference between it and a coup? Not to mention that the emperor can't agree, even if he really does, the princess wants to see her mother. Can you stop it? The Empress Dowager has not seen her daughter for a long time, won't she be suspicious? Flicked his sleeves: "Uncle Ping is dizzy." Retreat! ”

He Yan was bombarded by Cui Yan, and he was quite indignant in his heart: You asked me for a plan, if you don't adopt my idea, you will just say it, and you will scold me for being "dizzy", I am like a fake son of the first emperor, when have you ever eaten this kind of deflated? ! It was you who were completely wiped up by Cao Hong's wat board! The more I thought about it, the more unhappy I became, so I called my friends to drink that night to express my sorrow.

After a few glasses of wine, his mouth was not guarded, and he was about to tell the story one by one, and said: "Cui Jicheng is also a scholar, and he is unbearable!" ”

His friend advised him to be cautious, so he immediately took his leave, and hurriedly ordered the emperor: "Go to the army's mansion!" ”

This friend is not an outsider, it is Chen Tai and Chen Jibo, who asked to see him all night, and told He Yan what he said, saying that this guy is crazy and wants to isolate the queen mother and the princess, but Cui Yan is not stupid and didn't listen to him.

It was a re-stamping of his feet and said: "It's a pity, if Pi is willing to listen, I will cooperate!" ”

It is Fu who has been hiding in the house in the name of taking care of his father these days, and has not seen anyone, but in fact, the party members are connected in tandem, and they have already dug a deep trap for Cui Yan and them. I think he had a secret discussion with Huan Fan that day, saying that I have a plan, maybe I can defeat my father's political enemies in one fell swoop-

"My father once said to me a fable, Yun is the master of a certain country, and there are two auxiliary ministers, one of them is old and wise, and the other is young and domineering. The young want to seize the power of the elderly, and the old do not compete with each other, but return to the house to live in peace. The young think that the old people are not enough to worry about, that is, they use private and chaotic old politics to the side eyes of the government and the opposition. The old man knows that the time is coming, and the momentum is complete, and he starts to shake his arms and the four directions follow, that is, the harm is less......"

In fact, this is exactly what Xun told him, in the original history, how Sima Yi defeated Cao Shuang in one fell swoop. Yes Fu asked Huan Fan, do you think we can take advantage of my father's critical illness and do the same, but it is impossible to succeed?

Huan Fan groaned: "This is not Zheng Zhuang's plan to indulge Uncle Duan, and make him kill himself if he commits many injustices?" "Your idea seems to be good, but unfortunately the timing was not right-

"The lord is seriously ill and may die soon, so Cui Jiqi will not act rashly and wait for the lord to be a minus. And that is, its reckless actions and political changes involve a lot of things, even if the world is turbulent in one or two days? If the lord rises, he will be free to do unrighteousness? If he really doesn't hide it, he is unscrupulous, and the son can't be controlled. ”

Cui Yan must be waiting for the news of Shixun's death now, Shixun will not die for a day, I guess he won't dare to make any big moves for a day, how can you make him the target of public criticism soon?

Shi Fu shook his head and said, "Destiny...... I will not make the adults do this. As for making Cui Yanli stunned and acting recklessly, I also have a plan......"

The plan is mainly divided into two hands: first, spread rumors everywhere, saying that some people feel that the government of the clan is contrary to the Confucian scriptures, and that it will not last long, and that it will not last long, hoping that the sage will come out to save the trouble; Second, find someone to incite Cui Yan's henchmen and urge him to change the old policy in advance.

The so-called "Cui Yan's henchmen" is aimed at He Yan. Uncle He Ping thinks very highly of himself, but he is arrogant and domineering, and in fact, he only has ink in his stomach, he is brilliant but lacks wisdom, and he said to his son a long time ago: "Don't associate with Uncle Ping, and talk about nothing." ”

The metaphysics that advocates Qing talk originated in the Three Kingdoms period in the original history, and the first round of representatives were He Yan, Xiahou Xuan, Wang Bi and others. He Yan once had the same party as Cao Shuang, and even offered a plan to move the Empress Dowager Guo to Yong'an Palace, isolating the inside and outside, so that Cao Shuang could hold the little emperor hostage and manipulate power unscrupulously. Later, Cao Shuang was imprisoned by Sima Yi, and Pei Songzhi's note quoted "Wei's Spring and Autumn Period" and said: "King Xuan (Sima Yi) made Yan and Zhishuang wait for prison. Yan is poor and governs the party, hoping to be forgiven. King Xuan said, 'Where there are eight tribes. 'Yan Shuding (Mi), Deng (飏) and other seven surnames. King Xuan said: 'No. Yan was in a hurry, but said: 'What is Yanhu?' King Xuan said, "Yes." 'It's a harvest. ”

In other words, Sima Yi pretended to let He Yan participate in the trial of Cao Shuang and his henchmen, saying that there were a total of eight families that must be investigated and ruthlessly governed. He Yan also wanted to become a tainted witness, so he sold all his old friends such as Ding Mi and Deng Yang, but only seven were counted. Sima Yi said that you are not enough, He Yan was at a loss, and finally asked: "Are you talking about me?" Sima Yi nodded, that's right, and ordered He Yan to be arrested.

Thinking of "how can it be said that it is Yanhu", there are enough despicable and obscene!

Cui Yan himself is just a scholar, and he can even be said to be a corrupt Confucian, Yang Xiu is slightly better than him, but it is also limited, based on the fact that the leaders are all virtuous, and their party members are naturally not very high. It's like Cao Shuang's party in the original history, except for one Huan Fan, including He Yan, Ding Mi, Deng Yang, Bi Rail and other generations, all of them are treacherous villains, none of them are good, and their IQ is still very limited. Of course, Cui Yan is not the same as Cao Shuang in terms of character, so there are still a few gentlemen under him, but He Yan is definitely not among them. In terms of wisdom, Uncle He Ping is the one who completely lowered the average line.

So it is aimed at He Yan, but who should be to incite He Yan? After thinking about it, he secretly went out and found Chen Tai. Although Chen Jibo is young, his IQ and EQ are very high - in the original history, he was in and out of the picture, and finally dared to caress the corpse of the noble townsman and cry bitterly, demanding that the murderer be punished, and Sima Zhao did not dare to do anything to him, which can be seen - so he didn't go around in circles with him, and said bluntly:

"Cui Jiqi and others want to mess with the government, or they can succeed for a while, but they will be angry, and once Yuan Ang speaks, they will be killed in the East City, do you believe it?"

Cui Yan didn't actually have much action at this time, but just because he formulated a new hierarchy, it was enough to make people look sideways. Cui Yanguang saw that the wealthy eunuchs generally looked down on the poor families, and hoped to be able to open up a gap with the inferior people in terms of surface prestige such as food and clothing, but what he couldn't see was that Shi Xun had vigorously developed industry and commerce before, and had pulled many big families on the thief ship, and the status of the merchants had been greatly improved. As a result, Cui Yan's new hierarchical system distinguishes between monarchs, ministers, officials, and the people, and even lists the merchants separately, and they are only higher than the lowly servants, and even lower than the common people. Yes, the businessmen themselves have no political energy, but the wealthy businessmen have heroes and families to rely on, Cui Yan's actions are tantamount to beating his master in front and hurting his dog, can he really be universally welcomed by the scholar class?

Chen Jibo watched coldly, and he saw it clearly, so he asked him again, saying that Cui Yan would definitely be unlucky, do you believe it or not? Chen Tai immediately bowed his head. Yes Fu then said: "Wen Qing's father is also recommended by Cui Jiqi, so he has to be reinstated to the position of prime minister, but is it?" If Ji Jue is defeated, he is afraid of disaster and Ling Zun. ”

Chen Tai shook his head and said How can Cui Yan compare with my father, that is just a villain, my father was a cronie when he was the first emperor, and he has presided over the work of the officials for a long time, and his qualifications are much older than Cui Yan. Shi Fu sneered: "The bush touched Wu'an, and Wei Qi died, who could have expected it?" ”

Wei Qihou Dou Ying was the Han Dynasty, the husband was his guest, after Dou Ying to the office, Wu'an Hou Tian Wei succeeded his phase, the husband has always looked down on Tian Wei, once borrowed wine to go crazy, deliberately contradicted, and was arrested and imprisoned by Tian Wei. In order to save the irrigation husband, Dou Ying led to a conflict with Tian Wei, and the two fought until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty - the result was that Dou Ying and the irrigation husband abandoned the city one after another.

Is it the meaning of Fu, do you think that a little fly can't catch a big tiger? Think your father is old, so he will definitely not be affected by Cui Yan? This is naïve.

Chen Tai pondered for a long time, and asked, "How can Brother Tai do it?" (To be continued.) )
