Shi Xun finished spraying Cao Chao, but he felt that his heart was open-minded, and most of his anger disappeared, so he returned home triumphantly. Cao Miao led her children to greet her, and when they were half a year old, the couple said goodbye, and it was inevitable that there would be tears in their eyes. It's Tan who is about to be four years old (imaginary age), running all over the ground, and he can't be quiet for a moment, but Shi Xun still wants to point to this bear child and say to Shi Fu: "When your brother is younger than you, he is more respectful. ”

What's the matter is also taught by Cao Miao, the eldest lady, how can it also grow up in Luoyang City, than playing smaller and following his mother's management, growing up in the suburbs of the city, and herding sheep is like a semi-wild is Fu, which is not the same.

It was Fu who smiled slightly, and didn't pick up his father's ballast, but just congratulated him and said: "There is still a joy, you should tell your lord - the princess is already here." ”

Princess Shanyang was just checked out a few days ago, and she was already pregnant for three months, and her family was happy about this, waiting for the lord to come back and have a banquet to celebrate. It was Xun who heard the news, and smiled at the princess: "It's really a great achievement-have you ever reported to the Queen Mother?" Princess Shanyang's cheeks were slightly red, and she hung her head and said, "Not yet." Report to Ah Gong first. ”

Yes Xun said okay, since I already know, then you should quickly send someone to report this matter to the Empress Dowager Bian, so that she will be happy. As for the celebration of the banquet - "The first emperor has not passed away for a long time, and he cannot hold a banquet, but he will inform his relatives and friends, and I would like to accept his congratulations." ”

He was very happy on the surface, but in fact, he thought to himself: Lao Tzu has not yet reached fifty, and he is going to be a grandfather...... This psychology really can't be changed for a while!

Immediately closed the door, it was the family who had a happy gathering first, drinking and celebrating—and also summoned Huan Fan and other confidants to the banquet. During the banquet, Cao Miao reminded Shixun: "Ah Yun will be in charge." Prepare a lover to marry. It was Yunfei who blushed. He fled on the spot. It's Hoon who pinched his fingers and counted. Ah, the young girl who used to be around her knees is now fifteen years old—why do you think the children grow up so fast? Where has the time gone?!

Since Shi Xue married Xiahou Wei, she will not return home to take care of her father and mother unless she celebrates the New Year, Cao Miao often sighs when she thinks about it, and Shi Xun can't help but be gloomy. At this time, the defense of men and women and the restraint of Confucianism were far less than those of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but theoretically, the girl married out. Even if it is another family, there is no reason to run to her mother's house when she sees Tian'er, even if Xiahou Wei follows Shixun on an expedition this time, and Xue is alone in the empty boudoir, Xiahou's family refuses to let her go back to her parents' house to live for a long time.

Seeing that Shiyun was going to stay away from his father and mother, Shixun couldn't help but sigh secretly.

To say that this expedition to Xishu has many famous generals under his command, so Shi Xun and his two disciples - Xiahouwei and Tian Pengzu - basically did not have any chance of meritorious service. For this reason, he left the two of them in Shu, entrusted Xiahou Wei to Cao Zhen, and Tian Pengzu to Sima Yi to continue the experience. The light brought back the weak crown Ziyi. Yes Xun couldn't help but ponder at this moment, if he waited for Xiahou Wei to return to Luoyang. I instigated him to "split", leave the big family, and live alone with his daughter, maybe there are a little more chances for Xue Xing's relatives.

He lowered his head and thought about things here, Cao Miao couldn't help but ask: "What does my husband think?" Can Yun'er have something to trust? "Are you thinking about who to marry your daughter? It was Xun who reacted at this time, and smiled faintly at the moment: "It's still young, and let's discuss it again." ”

Finally, after the banquet ended, Shi Xun came to the study with Shi Fu and Huan Fan, and told them what His Majesty had seen today. It is Fu Daxi: "Congratulations, congratulations, if so, then the book is in hand." Huan Yuan frowned slightly, and asked Shi Xun: "Lord Hu doesn't make the Son of Heaven far away Cui Yanye?" "Why don't you take the opportunity to get rid of the villain Cui Jiju?

Shi Xun said with a smile: "The villain is encore, but it shows my narrow-mindedness." "A story that Cui Yan instigated Cao Chao to continue Cao Cao's old life and take away my title of Grand Lieutenant, this matter is just your speculation, and there is no real evidence; Second, I have scolded the Son of Heaven hard enough, and I have to accept it when I see it, and I can't go on endlessly-Hongfu danced a knife and a gun at a little secretary, which made others think that I was narrow-minded and would be revenged.

Huan Fan's eyebrows were still uncomfortable: "The embankment of a thousand miles, collapsed in the anthill, if the villain is not removed, it will eventually be troubled in the future......" Yes Xun waved his hand and said Okay, I understand what you mean, I will be wary of Cui Jiqi, but now is not the best time to get rid of him. Let's wait for a while, when I completely control the government, and the big guy is close to forgetting about the things at this time, then I can just find an excuse to bomb him home.

The little emperor Cao Chao's movements were quite fast, perhaps including the factors of the courtiers and cooperation, on the night of Shixun's return to Luoyang, Wang Lang handed in the third resignation, and then passed it early the next morning. Immediately, Cao Chao issued an order to worship the Duke of Jieyang County as the Zhongshu Order, so that he immediately went to Zhongshutai to discuss politics.

The three provinces and three tais of the Wei Dynasty were different from the three provinces system of the Sui and Tang dynasties in the original history, and they were also different from those when the Principality of Wei was first established, and the core of the regime was in Zhongshu. Zhongshu Ling is actually the prime minister, "in charge of the decree of the military state, the edict of the text, the arrest of the Xi Emperor, the unification of heaven and man", concisely, there is the prototype of the legislature of later generations. The legislation of the Chinese book, the administration of the twelve departments of the Shangshu system, and the supervision of the imperial history, in fact, are a bit like the separation of legislative, executive, and judicial powers in later generations.

Of course, these three powers are separated under the control of the emperor, a peculiar individual who is beyond the laws and regulations of the state - this is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed in the feudal era, and it is impossible to go further away from the limitations of the times when the official system is formulated.

These three provinces belong to the outer courts, and the Zongzheng Temple, the secretary and the eunuch belong to the inner court - but the power of the inner court is much less shrinking than that in the Eastern Han Dynasty, barely compared to when Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty first established the Inner Court. Zongzheng was in charge of royal affairs; The secretary, as the name suggests, is the personal secretary and advisor of the Son of Heaven; The affairs of the president's court, including the management of the courtiers of the chamberlain. The connection between the inner and outer dynasties is mainly done through the secretary and the Chinese book: the Son of Heaven has a will, the secretary drafts it, and the Chinese book is reviewed, which can be passed or refuted; There is a purpose in the book, and the secretary must first go through it and ask the Son of Heaven for advice. This was not only a mutual check between the internal and external dynasties, but also a mutual check and balance between the imperial power and the bureaucratic system.

In fact, according to the original intention of Shixun, the latter article can not be set at all, but it is really similar to the constitution of the hypocrite in later generations, even if Cao Cao is not a hero but a saint, it is absolutely impossible for him to agree......

It is said that the reason why Cao Chao was in a hurry to take office was to block the mouths of the ministers and to come up with a response plan to the chaos in the Kanto region as soon as possible. Shi Xun also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so after receiving the edict, he hurriedly took a car to the Zhongshutai.

When I waited for a place to take a look, hey, there were only three or two kittens, all pulling their necks and waiting for someone who could take charge of things.

Let's say that Cao Cao was in his twilight years, perhaps in order to suppress the power of the prime minister, or in order to cultivate new people, he changed the three old ministers for several rounds. Before Shixun took over as Zhongshu, the six ministers of Zaizhi were: Zhongshu Ling Wang Lang, Shangshu Ling Huaxin, Yushi Dafu Huanjie, Zhongshu Left Servant Shot Liu Xian, Shangshu Left Servant Shot Wei Qi, and Yushi Zhongcheng Xinbi. These are mature bureaucrats, who are quite familiar with the operation of institutions and the implementation of government decrees, but if they encounter major events, they may not be able to withstand them. Moreover, now Hua Ziyu is still running Cao Cao's funeral, and he is not in the capital...... The rest of them are waiting for Shixun to come and get an idea.

Shi Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly, so he ordered the little official: "Quickly invite Jia Guanglu and Senior Minister Liu to come and discuss." The so-called "Jia Guanglu" refers to Guanglu's doctor Jia Xu, and "Senior Counsellor Liu" refers to Senior Counsellor Liu Ye, both of whom are like the original honors, just hanging the rank of a secretary for advisers. Now that he is discussing military affairs, Shi Xun feels that he and Liu Xian have nothing to talk about at all-and Huan is barely qualified-so, let's find those two resourceful guys to come over and plan.

Taking advantage of the gap before the two came, the five Zai Zhi studied some small problems that arose in their daily work, roughly saying that Xun had been away from Beijing for a long time, so let him get familiar with the situation first. At the same time, he also reported the latest information on the Kanto chaos to Shixun - in fact, there was nothing more detailed than what the information was obtained by the family intelligence network.

When Jia and Liu arrived, it was Xun who invited them to sit in the queue, and then they talked about quelling the chaos. Jia Xu said, many counties have changed, and there is no suspicion that the king of Liyang is rebelling, but it is not known whether the other three kings participated in the rebellion - because of the distance, the transmission of news is delayed, and the current situation is extremely unclear, I am afraid it is difficult to come up with any way to deal with it.

Liu Ye also said: "We must send envoys to seek out the truth and reality, and order the way to disturb the west." ”

After repeated discussions, it was finally decided to send Chen Jiao, the squire of Zhongshu, to Luzhou, and to supervise the imperial Shi Gaorou to Yanzhou to investigate the situation, and at the same time send the Zuo general Le Jin to lead the army into Zhongmu, and then the general Yu Ban led the army into Yingyin, so as to plug the road to Yan and Lu.

Cao Wei's famous generals, some of them followed by Xun Fa Shu, and the rest guarded all sides, and now the generals who can be taken out of the capital are happy and Yu two - Li Dian died not long ago, Xu Chu wanted to guard the forbidden middle and not move lightly - both of them only led their own troops out of Beijing, and then summoned soldiers and horses from surrounding counties and counties when they arrived at the station, one to prevent the chaotic army from advancing to Luoyang, and the other to prepare for the future gathering of troops to suppress.

Shi Xun himself felt that Cao Chong and them couldn't make much trouble. The original "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms", how big was the scale of the feudal kingdom at that time, now it is only one county each, four kings and four counties, even if they are all in trouble, then there are one or two hundred counties in China, and the ratio of small and large is absolutely obvious. Speaking of "Jing Nan", Zhu Di and his ilk were originally the "Sai Wang" of the imperial border, and their soldiers were strong and strong, so they encountered hardships and dangers, and were almost leveled by the imperial army, how can Cao Chong and his ilk be compared?

However, because of this, Cao Chong is not a fool, if he dares to raise troops, he must have a backhand, plus Yi is resourceful, who knows if there are echoes elsewhere? If there are its henchmen in the capital, taking advantage of the time when the army is suppressing it, it will cause trouble and the center will bloom, then the trouble will be great. Therefore, the forbidden army in the capital will not be mobilized for the time being.

After the basic strategy is determined, it is necessary to wait for more accurate information to be transmitted before the general attack can be attacked. The meeting lasted until late afternoon, when the crowd dispersed. Then Xun did another half-day work, and when he returned to the house, it was already dark.

As soon as he entered the door, he replied, and immediately reported: "The auxiliary country comes to worship." Shi Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: Cao Hong? What is he doing here? (To be continued.) )
