Empress Dowager Guo was speechless for a long time.

What Cao Chao said was not a lie, the Cao Wei clan was definitely the worst group of people in the entire aristocratic circle.

Even when a powerful minister like Cao Shuang from a clan was in power, he didn't forget to suppress the rest of the clans.

Cao Chao, who was born in the princes, can understand the mood of the clan the most.

Empress Dowager Guo said helplessly: "Fashionable, that's all in the past, you are now the emperor, you have to be considered by the world first, the clan is not as good as it was back then, how can it become our help?" ”

Empress Dowager Guo's understanding of Cao Chao's words was very rough.

She thought that Cao Chao recalled her experience in Yuancheng, so she wanted to untie the shackles on the clan.

Cao Chao said solemnly: "Mother, the power of the clan cannot be underestimated, now the Great Wei River and the mountains are full of clans, in addition to the princes and kings outside, in the army, locally, there are also many clans If they are useless, why should Sima Shi gather most of the clans to Hebei and Yecheng, and dare not let them go to various places?" ”

"Can a clan that can make Sima Shi so jealous really be so useless?"

"Mother, the reason why the clan seems weak is because of the limitations of the temple, firstly, it imprisons their abilities, and secondly, it arouses their dissatisfaction and makes them unwilling to help the temple."

"I think that if my mother can pardon the many clans in Hebei and allow them to return to their respective fiefdoms, and then I will come forward again and gradually abolish the restrictions of the princes' clans and improve their treatment as much as the Sima family, I will definitely be scared and tremble by us."

"Mother, who is the most powerful family in the world?"

"Sima, of course"

Empress Dowager Guo suddenly woke up, "It's the Cao family." ”

Cao Chao laughed, "In terms of the number of children, on the official positions of the children in the family, on the titles of the ancestors, in the entire Great Wei, who can compete with us?" ”

"The Cao family is the most powerful family at the moment, and the Sima family is only second."

"If we want to regain power, we must reuse the children of our own family again, and we must think like a real family in order to defeat the Sima family."

Empress Dowager Guo was still a little worried, but Cao Chao's words sounded so reasonable.

Empress Dowager Guo said: "You should ask your teacher first and listen to his thoughts." ”

"Yui."

When Cao Chao walked out of Zhaoyang Palace, his forehead was slightly painful.

In the past few days, there are so many things he has done and wanted to do that Cao Chao is a little tired.

But now that time is urgent, I heard that the temple has promoted Sima Fu to Taifu.

Then the next step must be to promote Qiu Jian to a lieutenant.

And this, that is, to announce the progress of this war, Cao Chao has made a lot of preparations these days, but everything has to be spoken through this war, if Biqiu Jian is defeated, then Sima Shi will immediately turn around, kill himself mercilessly, and eradicate all those who can threaten his brother.

If Biqiu Jian wins, then Sima Zhao will immediately take action and kill himself to avenge his brother.

Cao Chao can only cheer up, speed up the process, and get more talismans for himself before the two sides officially start fighting, so as to better intervene in this war.

Cao Chao hurriedly ate a meal and rushed to the next work point.

Today, he wants to summon Zheng Xiaotong in the West Hall, as well as Ruan Ji, Wang Shen, Pei Xiu, Sima Yan, Gao Guang, and others.

Cao Chao is very fond of these people.

As soon as he saw them, Cao Chao smiled and said, "Mr. Wenji has arrived!" ”

Several ministers looked at Wang Shen.

Wang Shen hurriedly saluted and said, "Don't dare." ”

Cao Chao liked these talented freeriders very much, and gave them different nicknames, Wang Shen was called "Mr. Wenji", and the newcomer Pei Xiu was called "Confucian Lin Zhangren" by him.

This kind of attention made the two of them quite moved.

Cao Chao also bowed to other scattered horses and others.

Zheng Xiaotong's attitude towards Cao Chao is obviously a little close, Cao Chao's previous performance seems to have convinced this grandson of Zheng Xuan, and his eyes when he looks at Cao Chao are so gentle, there is a feeling of looking at his juniors.

Ruan Ji squinted his eyes, still looking so cold.

Pei Xiu yawned and kept scratching her body.

Sima Yan frowned, he was obviously afraid that these people would gather together to talk about learning again.

The highlight is the most embarrassing, mixed in the crowd, with his head down, not daring to look at Cao Chao.

Wang Shen maintained his elegant image, sitting beside Cao Chao very respectfully, with a kind smile on his face.

Cao Chao looked at these people, but couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Don't look at this Wang Shen person's dog-like appearance, when he was in the first week, Cao Chao treated him as a confidant and favored him, but as a result, Wang Shen was named the Marquis of Anping for his whistleblowing, and Cao Chao died tragically.

That Gao Guang and Pei Xiu are both the future pillars selected by Sima Shi.

The two of them, one is Sima Yan's Shangshu Ling, and the other is Sima Zhen's Shangshuling.

In other words, in Cao Chao's free riding team, only Ruan Ji can be trusted, and the rest are not trustworthy, including Zheng Xiaotong.

Historically, Zheng Xiaotong was poisoned by Sima Zhao.

He went to see Sima Zhao, Sima Zhao happened to go to the toilet, there were important documents on the case, when he came back, he asked Zheng Xiaotong if he had seen his own things, Zheng Xiaotong said no, Sima Zhao still decided to kill him, and said to him: I would rather be responsible for Qing, and Wuqing will be responsible for me.

Although he was also killed by Sima Zhao, Cao Chao did not dare to trust him easily.

After all, he has not shown his position in history, and besides, he is a servant, and he does not accompany him, what is he going to do to meet Sima Zhao??

Cao Chao looked at everyone and said slowly, "I have summoned you here today for a big event. ”

"What does Your Majesty command?"

Sima Yan immediately asked.

As long as it is not a matter of discussing knowledge, Sima Yan can accept it.

Cao Chao said seriously: "When I was debating with many famous scholars before, I unintentionally found that today's scriptures are really chaotic and cumbersome, with many kinds and opposing each other. ”

"What?! No!! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Xiaotong's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly spoke.

The Eastern Han Dynasty has just experienced a fierce battle between ancient and modern literature, and his grandfather Zheng Xuan is the leader of the ancient literature school.

Nowadays, the academic atmosphere is different, metaphysics is popular, and the modern literary school has gone further in superstition, and the academic environment has become extremely complex.

If there is a battle of scriptures now, the scene will be uncontrollable!

Cao Chao looked at the few people in front of him, Zheng Xiaotong was the most nervous, Ruan Ji was disdainful, Pei Xiu had already begun to untie his collar, probably Cao Chao said again, this guy is about to start running naked, and Wang Shen is eager to try, Sima Yan is the most dazed.

Cao Chao said seriously: "I don't want the school to start debating, on the contrary, I am ready to integrate all the schools, determine the outline, end the original chaos, set up classic justice, and pass it on to future generations!" ”

Zheng Xiaotong frowned, "Your Majesty, even if you think like this, but once such a thing starts, it will inevitably cause disputes and integrate many classics, which is something that will not work at all at present!" ”

Zheng Xiaotong immediately took the Eastern Han Dynasty as a precedent and told Cao Chao about the consequences of doing so.

Cao Chao asked everyone what they thought.

The reaction of the crowd was also different.

Wang Shen actually agrees with Cao Chao's opinion, perhaps, he thinks that such a thing can give him a chance to get ahead?

Just when everyone began to discuss and argue, Cao Chao looked at Ruan Ji helplessly.

"Don't you approve of this either?"

Ruan Ji shook his head, "Classics vary from person to person, how can they be things that can be integrated and universal?" ”

"It's for the sake of the world."

Cao Chao sighed, he suddenly sat next to Ruan Ji, "How many people do you think will agree with this matter?" ”

Ruan Ji was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Except for stupid things, no one should agree." ”

Wang Shen didn't seem to hear what he said, and continued to reason with Zheng Xiaotong.

Cao Chao suddenly asked in a low voice, "Then why don't you go and ask Uncle Ji Ye?" ”

The corners of Ruan Ji's eyes jumped, and before he could react, the emperor had already stood up, he returned to his position again, interrupted the debate between Zheng Xiaotong and Wang Shen, and said helplessly: "Forget it, since you don't want to, let's talk about it later." ”

Everyone said goodbye to the emperor and left here one by one.

Zheng Xiaotong repeatedly instructed Cao Chao not to have such thoughts, and he must not disturb today's academic atmosphere.

Everyone left separately, but Sima Yan hadn't left yet.

"Your Majesty, what are you trying to do here?"

"Anshi, there is a huge credit at the moment, do you want it?"

Sima Yan touched his buttocks, "My injury is just right, otherwise, Your Majesty will take it yourself, right?" ”

"General."

Sima Shi knelt in front of the desk with a cloak, his face pale, and his front was full of the content of yesterday's debate between Cao Chao and the ministers.

When someone came in to say goodbye, he didn't even lift his head.

He continued to look at the contents in his hand and asked, "Tell me, what's wrong?" ”

"A sage told me that today His Majesty summoned many loose horsemen to discuss the integration of many classics and a righteous thing for the classics."

"What did you say?!"

Sima Shi raised his head suddenly, and the green tendons on his forehead became more and more obvious.

The servant was stared at by Sima Shi, and he only felt that his legs were trembling.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, held back his fear, and said, "None of the princes agreed, and Your Majesty's efforts were in vain."

"Hehehe~~~"

Sima Shi suddenly laughed, this laughter seemed to come from his chest, and with that stiff face, it was very terrifying.

"First disturbed the place, then disturbed the temple, and now you want to disturb the scholars of the world?"

"As long as this matter gets out, do you still need the consent of those people?!"

"What a virtuous king, what a holy king!"
