Chapter 162: It's You! Bells!
The temple did not announce the news in the court.
It was an envoy who was sent to inform Wang Xiang directly of this appointment.
And Wang Xiang never told others, except for Sima Zhao, who issued the edict, and Zhongshu Province, who was responsible for drafting the edict, probably only Lu Yu knew about it.
After receiving the order, he came to pay a visit, how did the emperor know the news so quickly? ?
He asked him about the candidate for the lieutenant of the division, which obviously meant that he already knew that he had been promoted to too often.
Wang Xiang used to think that Sima Yan had inadvertently revealed important news, but the problem was that Sima Yan was now serving in the Chinese army and was not in the palace at all.
Wang Xiang was quite frightened at the moment.
Could it be that the emperor has other ministers in the palace?
Is it in the province of books??
Or in the General's Palace??
No, it is impossible for the subordinate officials of the General's Mansion to get close to the emperor easily, but the officials of Zhongshu Province can stay in the palace for Meng Kang of Zhongshu Province? Could it be
Wang Xiang's eyes widened, but he had an extremely terrible conjecture in his heart.
When Zhuge Dan's matter was leaked, Wang Xiang was very strange, he didn't think that this was something Jia Chong could do.
And now, there is a man who knows the whereabouts of the great general, he can meet the emperor at any time, he even defends the emperor many times, he has been rewarded by the emperor, he has participated in all the conspiracies against the emperor, and even promoted his own appointment process
Zhong Hui?!
Cao Chao thinks it's strange, isn't it just too often? How could such a humble person become so rebellious?
He didn't answer his own questions, and stared at himself.
For a while, Wang Xiang only felt that countless thoughts flashed in his mind, he looked at Cao Chao in front of him again, and for a while, he only felt that this person was surrounded by fog and unfathomable, and he couldn't see through it at all.
If the bell meeting was not arranged by the emperor, it can only mean that the emperor is too terrible, he has already seen through all this, and he has predicted that he will succeed.
If Zhong Hui has really voted for the emperor, it can only mean that the emperor is even more terrible than he thought, and he has already gathered great power behind his back!
Wang Xiang quickly calmed down, saluted Cao Chao, and carefully sat opposite Cao Chao.
"Your Majesty has just received the edict, and I haven't heard them about the candidates for the lieutenant of this division."
Cao Chao suddenly realized, it seems that Sima Yan brought the news directly from the General's Mansion.
He thought he had already declared his ministers.
Wang Xiang asked quietly, "Your Majesty has an idea about this position?" ”
Cao Chao laughed and shook his head, "What can you think?" ”
"Prince, if the temple recommends Taishou Wang Jing to serve as the lieutenant of the school, you can support it when the time comes."
Wang Xiang thought for a moment, and quickly remembered who Wang Jing was.
Wang Jing is not from a big family, but his lord is quite extraordinary, but it is Cui Lin, a famous minister in the past.
This person's reputation is not very loud, and the relationship with the Sima family is not very close, how could the temple let this person be the captain of the school?
Moreover, if this person becomes a lieutenant of the school, what good will it do to the emperor?
Wang Xiang couldn't figure it out at the moment, if it was before, he would definitely ask a good question, but now, for some reason, he nodded and agreed, and he didn't ask more.
Wang Xiang still talked about the problem of governing the country as always, and then suddenly changed his tone and asked, "Your Majesty is outside, or does you have no other help?" ”
Cao Chao was originally fascinated by what he heard, but as soon as Wang Xiang said this, Cao Chao's face flashed a trace of surprise, and quickly disappeared.
Although the surprise was only fleeting, Wang Xiang stared very carefully, taking in the change in Cao Chao's expression in his eyes.
Cao Chao was naturally surprised, no one knew about this Jiao Bo, Yin Damu and others.
Could it be that something went wrong on Ji Kang's side?
Cao Chao asked in a low voice, "Why would the prince ask this?" ”
"Oh, I just think that Your Majesty is in the deep palace, but he can know the situation outside, so I asked."
Cao Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "I just listened to the scattered riders talk about the situation outside. ”
Wang Xiang can't deny this, but he is already sure in his heart that Cao Chao also has a henchman outside, and the status of this henchman is not low.
Cao Chao said again: "Prince, tomorrow's banquet in the East Hall, I want to be more lively, I wonder if you can invite more ministers to come?" ”
Wang Xiang frowned, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty's banquet is already very grand now, if you want to gather the ministers in the name of the banquet, I am afraid that it will arouse the vigilance of the Sima family and be detrimental to the big thing!" ”
Cao Chao said very calmly: "It's okay, you don't have to worry, the Great General and the General Zhengxi won't take care of these things, they have more important things to do now." ”
"This is the last chance and we can't miss it."
"Don't be afraid, I'm not asking you to invite the minister of Shangshutai, just to find some Jiuqing and the like."
It's not that Cao Chao despises Jiuqing, it's because compared to Shang Shutai, Jiuqing's authority is not so heavy, and most of them are here to support and transition.
Cao Chao wanted to promote the reform of the Zhengzhong system, but he didn't tell Wang Xiang directly, and he didn't even ask Wang Xiang to go to Chen Qian by name.
Because he knew that although Wang Xiang had the courage, he would not take the entire family to participate in such a big gamble, and he would find the right time to make a move.
Now is obviously not the best time to push the positive system, Sima Shi has already decided to kill Biqiu Jian, if he jumps out now, he will be directly executed by Sima Shi as an anti-thief, therefore, Cao Chao wants to see Chen Qian, and promote this matter through him, Chen Qian has more courage.
If Chen Qian can't be seen at the banquet, then Cao Chao will be more aggressive and directly ask the Queen Mother to summon Chen Qian.
Now we have to race against time to push these things forward.
Wang Xiang did not refute, but talked about the situation during the court meeting.
"Xun Yi suddenly opened his mouth to support Zhong Hui, and he was very displeased"
Cao Chao is still not surprised.
This strategy of his is a yang scheme, what can Sima Zhao do if he sees through it? If it doesn't happen, then Cao Chao will take over, if it does, it will cause a fight He didn't expect Xun Yi to jump out so quickly, but thinking that these people are all vested beneficiaries, Cao Chao can understand their eagerness.
Zhong Hui wants to take back the power to interpret the classics back to the temple, and it is strange that these big clans can allow it.
Cao Chao said a few more words to Wang Xiang, and the two said goodbye.
Wang Xiang left here, but he repeatedly recalled Cao Chaocai's expression in his heart, he was not surprised at all, could it be that Zhong Hui really had a heart for the emperor?
That bell will be a heartfelt word of His Majesty??
Cao Chao naturally didn't know what Wang Xiang was thinking at the moment, and after he finished the class, he hurried towards the Zhaoyang Palace.
When Cao Chao came to the outside of the Zhaoyang Palace, Guo's husband was still here.
Seeing the emperor coming, Guo's husband hurriedly blocked in front of him.
"The Queen Mother is meeting your guests."
"Oh? Who is it? ”
Guo's husband hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's Guo Li, Your Majesty don't believe these people, they said to the Queen Mother, you secretly colluded with the general, and spent all day with Sima Yan, separated the clan, and installed the cronies of the Sima family."
After he finished speaking, he immediately raised his head, his face was very solemn, "Your Majesty wants the slave to go in and tell you?" ”
Cao Chao was very happy.
Sure enough, the disagreement in these days still has some effect, and Guo Li, who is also a member of the Guo family, is so rude to the tortured clansmen, and treats them as a family shame, so don't think about how much loyalty they can provide.
Cao Chao nodded at him, "Thank you." ”
Guo's husband's face trembled, and he turned around and walked into the Zhaoyang Palace.
In the Zhaoyang Hall at this moment, Guo Li was sitting beside the Queen Mother, his face full of grievances.
"Queen Mother! We all grew up watching you! ”
"After your father died, I treated you as my own daughter."
"But now, because you are an outsider, you don't believe in our relatives?"
Guo Li gritted his teeth and said excitedly: "Then Cao Chao has been lying to you all along, where does he look like a puppet emperor?" Sima Yan is by his side all day long, don't you know the relationship between the two of them? ”
"If he didn't collude with the Sima family, why did Sima Zhao's eldest son stay by the emperor's side all day long?"
Has he been persecuted in any way during these days? Jia Chong, who bullied him, died, his teacher served as Taichang, mingling with celebrities all day long, Zhong Hui personally made a name for him, and Xun Yi also spoke for his people! Wake up! ”
"We are the only ones who have been damaged, and now you no longer trust us, Ade was killed, and the military power of Jian fell into the hands of outsiders!"
"The Sima family is not a good thing, what about the emperor?"
"How could we go to the Sima family? We're a family! ”
"Why do you believe in the emperor so much?"
Guo Li said bitterly.
Empress Dowager Guo's face actually hesitated.
At this time, Guo's husband walked into the hall and informed Cao Chao of the news.
Guo Zhi sneered and said: "The emperor got the news really quickly, a young emperor, can actually receive the news when we arrive, and then come to ask the Queen Mother, is this normal?" ”
Empress Dowager Guo was a little disturbed by them, and immediately frowned, "Let's all go out first!" ”
She looked at Guo's husband again, "Go and tell the emperor that I am not feeling well today, so I will not see him." ”
Guo Li and Guo Zhi glanced at each other, and there was obviously some joy in their eyes.
When they walked out of the Zhaoyang Hall aggrievedly, their faces immediately changed again.
Cao Chao clearly saw the pride in their eyes.
This made Cao Chao almost laugh out loud.
Sima Shi is going to crusade against Biqiu Jian, so the next step must be to do it to himself, as an important part of Sima Shi's plan to kill the king
How long will you live?
