Chapter 110: Speculators
"If you want to govern the virtuous monarch of the world, you must be diligent and thrifty, the emperor is diligent and thrifty, and the virtuous minister can not follow suit? How dare the villain speak extravagantly? ”
"The three generations of holy monarchs of the Great Wei Dynasty are all based on diligence and thrift"
Wang Xiang told the truth as usual.
Cao Chao still had to make a teachable appearance, sitting opposite him obediently, listening to him.
If you want to be diligent and thrifty, who can be more diligent and thrifty than the rulers of the two Jin Dynasty?
The emperor took the lead in being diligent and thrifty, and the ministers compared themselves with each other, and they were so diligent and thrifty that there were no poor people in the world.
They know the truth of diligence and thrift and simplicity better than anyone else, but it is not the same thing when they do it.
After Wang Xiang finished talking about today's truth, Cao Chao approached him and asked with a smile: "Teacher, how did you do in the selection of talents?" ”
"Huh? What's up? ”
Wang Xiang looked a little dazed.
Cao Chao cursed a few words in his heart, "Didn't you say that you would recruit more talents for me?" Didn't the teacher forget? ”
Wang Xiang suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be this matter." ”
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the old minister is about to go to the book, but I didn't expect that Shangshu Lu Gong talked about this matter one step ahead of the minister, and the minister didn't think about it anymore."
Wang Xiang said, and quickly put on a straight face.
"Your Majesty, what did the old minister teach you yesterday?"
"The teacher said that the virtuous ruler who governs the world cannot rush for quick success"
"Yes, Your Majesty is still young today, and the major affairs of the world have their own virtuous ministers to govern, Your Majesty's heart to govern the world is good, but if you are in a hurry to do it, it will only bring bad results."
The old man reprimanded Cao Chao.
The meaning is very clear, this matter has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with me, don't ask or mention it again.
Cao Chao has already got what he wants.
This old man really didn't go out in person, it seems that he reached some kind of cooperation with Lu Yu of Shangshu and asked Lu Yu to come forward to do it.
This is also normal, although the Wang family in the future will be a big family with the Sima family, but now, there are too many big families stronger than them, and Wang Xiang's family does not even have a figure close to the core of power, even if it is only in name.
He can use his reputation to seek appropriate benefits, but if he can't think of it, and wants to eat such a big cake alone, he is afraid that he will not be choked to death, and even if he does not choke to death, the rest of the big clan will strangle him.
The best way, of course, is to find a big man, and the big man comes out to eat meat, and he drinks soup underneath.
Wang Xiang's success was no accident, and after personally encountering the situation in the palace, Cao Chao had a new understanding of his ability to climb up.
When Cao Chao had not yet ascended the throne, this was the great Si Nong.
It sounds very powerful, but it is actually very powerful, and it is one of the nine Qings.
However, during the Cao Wei period, officials such as Taicang Shangshu, Duzhi Shangshu, and Hubu Shangshu divided the power of Dasi Nong, and Dasi Nong could not actually interfere in finance, accounting and other affairs, and became the minister of the barn.
This position has become a nursing home for many ministers, and it is not easy to climb up, if it is an ordinary minister, when he becomes a big Si Nong, he will be content, and he will lie down in this position directly to retire, and then make an honorary third prince or something.
But Wang Xiang is obviously not an ordinary minister.
In the abolition of the establishment, the ministers all hid and left, but he actively participated in this matter, standing on the side of the Queen Mother and the Guo family many times, and behaved very toughly.
Empress Dowager Guo was very happy, and after completing the goal, she made him Guangluxun.
Guangluxun is also Jiuqing, but this commander-in-chief of palace affairs, in the Western Han Dynasty, this official is called Lang Zhongling!
He naturally accepted the reward of the Queen Mother, served as Guangluxun, and showed that he was very close to the Queen Mother, and forced the general in disguise to take the initiative to win over himself, a moral model, and the general definitely did not want a moral model close to the imperial power to be Guangluxun, nor could he kill him because of this, so after serving as Guangluxun for less than a month, the general named him the captain of Sili.
Cao Wei's lieutenant, how high is his status?
At the time of the court meeting, the ministers sat outside the south gate of the palace, at this time the Si Li school captain sat at the head of the heads of various departments, a person sat alone, more prominent than the Eastern Han Dynasty "three independent sitting" Cao Wei Si Li school captain received a wave of strengthening, the status is not high, but the power is extremely heavy.
After serving as the lieutenant of Si Li, he immediately changed his attitude towards the Queen Mother and began to take the initiative to get close to Sima Zhao, so he became Taichang two years later and became the head of Jiuqing.
After Cao Chao's death, he howled and cried, saying that it was all his fault, and then he was directly promoted to Sikong and became the third duke.
At this time, he has become a respected person among the ministers, a real moral model in the world, and four years later he was promoted to Tai Lieutenant, and when Sima Yan took the position, he was crowned Taibao, ranking above the three divisions, and the world looked up, laying an indestructible foundation for the rise of the clan, and took off directly.
Cao Chao didn't take advantage of him, he also knew that this kind of treacherous and cunning old man would not be used for himself, Cao Chao just gave this bold old man a chance.
If Wang Xiang doesn't let himself interfere, then he won't interfere, and Lu Yu can take the initiative to stir up trouble, which couldn't be better.
And in history, Lu Yu and Wang Xiang are also very close, and Lu Yu took the initiative to resign after serving as the secretary, wanting to give up the position to Wang Xiang and several other people.
They are doing things together, Cao Chao has already met expectations, and finding something to do for the general is Cao Chao's purpose, and the rest of the things are not important.
Wang Xiang finished the course, said goodbye to Cao Chao, and left here.
Not long after Wang Xiang returned to the mansion, he changed into a suit and rode a carriage to meet Lu Yu.
Lu Yu is very busy, he has always been like this, and the whole world is actually governed by Lu Yu.
Wang Xiang waited quietly for a long time.
After Lu Yu was busy, he sent someone to pick him up and come to the study.
Wang Xiang respectfully visited Lu Yu, and this attitude was even more respectful than that of Sima Shi and Cao Chao.
Lu Yu nodded and asked him to sit beside him.
"Hugh Zheng, most of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee support the ministry, and Gao Situ also sent people, saying that they fully support it."
Wang Xiang laughed, "Situ Gong can't wait to remedy it." ”
"Wang Weitai, Cui Changhe, Yuan Gongran, and Fu Lanshi in the stage, I will inform them one by one, except for Lanshi, the other three people agree."
Lu Yu said again.
The four people he just said are important figures in Shangshutai, Wang Weitai refers to Wang Guan, Ren Shangshu's right servant, Cui Changhe refers to Cui Zan, who serves as the secretary of the ministry, and the last two are Shangshu Yuan Kan and Shangshu Fu.
Among these people, Wang Guan is the most low-key, but he is a first-class ruthless person.
This person has a bad background, it was Cao Cao who promoted him, he served as a county commander in many places, and later fought Xianbei in Biansai, and he was strong, so he offended Cao Shuang and was attracted by Sima Yi, and later when Sima Yi launched a rebellion, this person served as the leader of the army, and Gao Rou was listed as the two major allies of the Sima family.
It's just that, unlike Gao Rou, Wang Guan is diligent and thrifty, doesn't make many friends, and doesn't like to promote juniors, only does his own thing, and doesn't participate in any disputes.
Cui Zan was born in the Cui clan of Boling, and is the great-grandson of Cui Yu.
Yuan Kan was born in the Yuan family of Chen County and was the son of Yuan Lian.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Wang Xiang was not surprised, Fu Yi was Sima Shi's hardcore confidant, and it was normal for him not to agree.
"It seems that this is the case."
Wang Xiang said with a smile.
Lu Yu stroked his beard gently, and there was a smile on his face.
The family of the Great Wei wants to unite to do things, the Sima family can't hold it down, this is not something that can be solved by killing people, the previous killings have caused the dissatisfaction of the ministers, and the promise of the Sima family has not been completed, if you want to kill people at this time, the temple will collapse, and you don't need to wait for Qiu Jian to attack.
"Your Majesty's proposal is really good."
Lu Yu couldn't help but praise it, but Wang Xiang explained with a smile: "Your Majesty is trying to disturb the situation and make the Sima family tired Today, Your Majesty deliberately talked about the Queen Mother. ”
"I think he wants to use the name of the Queen Mother to recruit ministers for his use."
Lu Yu praised again: "Eloquent and strategic, but unfortunately, it was born at the wrong time." ”
Lu Yu glanced at him and reminded: "Hugh Zheng, don't dwell on it too much, Your Majesty has a strategy, but it is not possible to leave the West Hall, the Queen Mother has a name, but she is also an ignorant woman, and the general is a person who can listen to advice, but he is also a ruthless person." ”
Wang Xiang laughed, he couldn't understand what Lu Yu meant, they could compete with the Sima family for the order of eating prey, but they couldn't take the Sima family as the prey.
"Rest assured, it won't."
Wang Xiang said calmly, but his eyes flashed with fine light.
