Chapter 468: Difficult
In the first month of the fourth year of nectar, Luoyang is also jubilant.
Zhonghui's 40,000-strong army went out to fight, and the results were immediate, and the soldiers recovered Chang'an without bloodshed, and took Chencang from the Shu army, and Fufeng County also returned to Great Wei.
This was undoubtedly a big victory for Sima Zhao.
To a certain extent, his prestige was restored.
Because since the rise of the Western Thief, there has never been anything repulsed.
The government and the opposition are also full of praise for Zhonghui.
For this reason, Emperor Cao Chao also specially issued an edict to commend: "Huidian comprehensive military, participate in the same strategy, anticipate the victory of the enemy, there is the merit of strategizing in the front, and the merit of recovering the land, the front and back are heavy, the ambition is unwinning, the spirit is good, and the loyalty of the country is also." ”
It's good that the emperor didn't issue an edict, but as soon as the edict was issued, someone had an idea.
Jia Chong and others wrote again, requesting that Sima Zhao be crowned the king of Jin, add nine tins, and open the country.
And this time, there is almost no opposition from the DPRK and China.
Even the Empress Dowager Guo was stopped in the palace by her uncle, Guo Li, the general of Xuande, and Guo Jian, the general of the younger brother.
Every time the ministers persuaded him, he pushed Sima Zhao one step forward.
Sima Zhao still excused himself.
But many people already know that so far, Sima Zhao has resigned six times.
At that time, Cao Pi was only a three-way resignation.
In the end, Jia Chong came up with a compromise solution and worshiped Sima Zhao as prime minister.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the last person to hold the post of prime minister was Wei Wu Cao Cao himself.
The power of the prime minister is too great, so the three kingdoms are reducing the power of the prime minister, and since the end of the Han Dynasty, it has been changed to Lu Shangshushi.
If Sima Zhao is promoted to the prime minister, he is actually following Cao Cao's old path.
"Sima Lao Thief deceived me too much!" In Lingyuntai, Emperor Cao Chao burst into tears.
How could a young emperor who had ambitions and tried to reproduce the rule of Shaokang swallow such humiliation?
But even if he scolded angrily, he had to suppress his voice to avoid being heard by the palace people outside the palace.
The redundant servant Li Zhao and the Huangmen servant Jiao Bo were silent, and they also wept.
"Isn't he Sima Zhao going to be my country? Then step over my corpse! Cao Chao wiped away his tears, and the hatred in his eyes rose like flames.
In his original plan, Sima Zhao would not take the last step before eliminating Yang Zheng in Liangzhou.
But Jia Chong's treacherous plan to make Sima Zhao the prime minister is a great shame for the entire Cao Wei.
"Your Majesty must forbear, Yang Hu rode to kill Sima Fu, and Sima Zhao did not share the sky, he will have a great war in the future, Your Majesty has a chance, for the sake of today's plan, when the loyal people in the forbidden army are encircled, do not rush for a while." Li Zhao persuaded bitterly.
From the perspective of a courtier, the emperor should be brave and forbearing.
However, from the emperor's point of view, no one in the court opposed this persuasion, and the voice was much higher than the previous times.
Several of the Tushi clans remained silent.
Most of the time, silence is the default.
Cao Chao knew that he would probably not be able to wait for that day.
Sima Zhao is more urgent than Sima Yi and Sima Shi.
Many times to encircle the nobles and strengthen their foundations.
Among the forbidden army, all of them are the minions of the Sima family.
Moreover, Sima Zhao is still vigorously supporting the people of the Sima family, Sima Gan, Sima Liang, and Sima Fu......
As the royal Cao family, Rending is not as prosperous as the Sima family, which is a great irony.
It doesn't matter if no one in the court speaks for the emperor, and there are all kinds of "auspicious" sent into Sima's mansion in the local area.
In this situation, how can Cao Chao not be worried?
"Two Aiqing, time is running out, and we will definitely help me." Cao Chao has made up his mind.
The two glanced at each other and arched their hands: "I am willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty and die forever!" ”
Sima Fuzhong.
Jia Chongzhi was full of pride, and after Zhong Hui left, he became the number one celebrity around Sima Zhao.
What others dare not do, he dares.
Others cherish feathers, and they stand and stand, he doesn't care about anything, his own reputation, Jia Kui's reputation.
Such a person, Sima Zhao naturally favors it.
"Heaven and earth open up, the sun and the moon shine again. Encounters will be encountered, and Bi Li will be able to go away. will sweep away the filth and return to the hometown. Clear thousands of miles, total eight wilderness. Sue Cheng and return to old age, and wait for Wuyang. Sima Zhao recited the "Song of the Expedition to Liaodong" composed by Sima Yi, and his heart was also full of pride.
Heaven and earth open up, the sun and the moon shine again. Clear thousands of miles, total eight wilderness.
How could an ordinary courtier have such a big tone?
"Taifu is a god and a man, if it weren't for Taifu, the rivers and mountains of Dawei would have been overturned for a long time." Jia Chong took the opportunity to get a hot fart.
Sima Zhao chuckled, "Gonglu, you are too anxious, my father is in a hurry to clear thousands of miles and gather eight wildernesses, but he is only condescending to the position of Taifu and respecting the Cao family, you persuade me to enter the position of prime minister, don't you put me on the fire to roast?" ”
"Otherwise, Ling Zun and Brother Ling have contributed to the world, fought in the south and the north, swept away Gongsun, and conquered Wu Shu, the Cao family can continue to this day, all thanks to the general's father and son, the Cao family is in decline, the mandate of heaven is in the general, and Tianyu will not take the blame!" Jia Chong observed his words and looks, and saw that Sima Zhao did not object, but secretly promised in his heart.
He was right this time.
Sima Zhao shook his head, "The position of prime minister is too respectful, how about changing it to Xiangguo?" ”
The difference between Xiangguo and Prime Minister is the same, but the meaning is the same.
Back then, Dong Zhuo also regarded himself as the prime minister.
Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the power of the prime minister and the patriarchal authority have always been bound, and Dong Zhuo became the father of the prime minister.
Zhuge Liang became the prime minister of Shu and Liu Chan's father......
Entering the Xiangguo means that he can directly confront the imperial power, and there is no need to suppress the imperial power through the Guo family.
Sima Zhao smiled and bowed, "Gonglu, please get up, please get up, it's a pity that Shi Ji is not in Beijing, otherwise we can have a drink together." ”
Jia Chong's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Shi Ji has the strategy of ghosts and gods, and he is really the talent of Wang Zuo." ”
"Haha, both of you are my humerus."
Soon, the cries in the hall changed direction.
The gentry remained silent.
Cao Chao did not have any right to choose, so he could only issue an edict to entitle Sima Zhao as the prime minister, go to the palace with his sword, enter the court, and pay homage.
A grand ceremony was held in Luoyang.
Although Sima Zhao is Jia Jiuxi, but its pomp is not weak at all, in order to show the military might, the red carpet is paved from Lingyuntai to Tonghuo Street, and then to the outer city, the soldiers are covered with red silk, swords, spears, halberds, gongs, drums, horns, stretching for several miles.
All this was seen by Cao Chao standing on the Lingyun Terrace, he watched Sima Zhao being surrounded by hundreds of officials and armor soldiers and walked up to the Lingyun Platform step by step, his hands were full of green muscles, but he still had to pretend to be a smile on his face, and personally served a bottle of wine, "Xiangguo has worked hard, but he drinks this cup full." ”
Sima Zhao took the wine bottle with a smile and raised it to the sky, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but this wine should be honored for the captain who sacrificed his life for the country, for the father and brother of the southern and northern wars of the country, and for the soldiers of the bloody war of the country!" ”
With that, he threw himself to the ground.
Officials and soldiers all boasted, "Xiangguo is benevolent!" ”
Sima Zhao's smile remained unchanged, and he took the hand of Emperor Cao Chao and entered Lingyun Platform together.
And at this moment, Cao Chao's face became more and more difficult to look at.
