"Your Majesty this"

Zheng Hao now just wants to take back what he said.

What is steady, this is even more extreme than what you wanted to rehabilitate Xiahou Xuan in the first place!

Great Wei spent nearly thirty years to suppress the sect, does this mean that it can be released?

Do you think the temple ministers will agree?

Zheng Yuan almost said the words "wishful thinking".

Zheng Yuan's positioning is different from Wang Xiang, Chen Qian and others, he is a self-preservationist, he wants to live a stable life and not get involved in these struggles.

finally got rid of Sima Shi's whirlpool, but the emperor threw out a bigger whirlpool.

The affairs of this sect are definitely the most thankless things.

Hardly anyone wants to see the clan strong.

The power of the clan is strong, and it will suppress the power of the family, just like the Sima family, in order to suppress these powerful families, the Sima family seals the clan and adds power, these princes are really strong in the local area, but once there is turmoil in the temple, it will be the rebellion of the eight kings

Zheng Hao said seriously: "Your Majesty was born in the clan, and the courtiers can understand the mercy of the clan, but, Your Majesty, you are now the emperor of the world, not the princes of the Great Wei." ”

"The minister knows that you have other opinions on Emperor Wen's policies, but Your Majesty thinks that why does Emperor Wen want to implement those policies?"

Cao Chao said seriously: "Curb the eunuchs to avoid the appearance of the Ten Standing Attendants, curb the princes to avoid the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and then use the Zhongzheng system to take back the local conscription power to the temple." ”

In Cao Chao's view, in fact, many of the policies implemented by Emperor Wen at the beginning were not to bring disaster to the Great Wei.

There is some truth in his thinking.

Cao Pi's growth environment was the most fierce time when the struggle between scholars and eunuchs was fierce, and Cao Cao himself also took a lot of effort to get rid of the hat after eunuchs and strive to integrate into the scholars.

After Cao Pi came to power, he was anxious to stabilize the situation in the country, and he did not have the prestige and military achievements of his father, so he wanted to eradicate those potential threats one by one.

The first thing he thought of was the eunuch, he probably recalled the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, and immediately abolished the ten permanent servants and replaced them with those outstanding young people, which was also to attract these folk talents, let them accompany the emperor, cultivate feelings, and establish the emperor's direct force.

He then thought of his relatives, and in order to avoid another general, he ordered that his relatives could have titles but were not allowed to take on important responsibilities.

He was also worried that the power of the harem would be too strong, so he killed the virtuous and powerful Empress Zhen and set up another queen.

In order to prevent the local government from manipulating filial piety and controlling the selection of talents, he used the Zhongzheng system to bring the talent selection back into the hands of the temple

After cleaning up these people, Cao Pi finally set his sights on the clan again, and began to spare no effort to suppress the clan, making the princes miserable, and finally there was a situation where he would rather be Sima Taishou than the princes of Cao Wei.

Cao Pi's behavior can be said to be not smart enough, but it must not be said that he lost his mind, and many systems were not set up in a bad direction in the early days of their establishment, and they all had a certain positive significance at that time.

It's just that Cao Pi probably didn't expect that he would die early, and he didn't expect his son to do the same.

Cao Chao felt that Cao Pi was the opposite of Sun Quan, and if he could live a little longer, maybe his reputation in history would be much better.

At that time, he had already begun to accept the advice of Huaxin Wang Lang and others, began to govern the country with peace of mind, restored the people's strength, and abolished many of the extreme policies set up by Cao Cao during the war.

Of course, by now, no matter how much Cao Chao thinks about it, it's useless.

To treat such a fierce beast as gate valve politics, you have to summon a fierce thing like a feudal prince to fight against him, if it is not enough, then release the eunuchs and chaotic government, and if it doesn't work, there will be relatives, and the queen herself will be the opposite of the original Emperor Wen.

As for whether they will eventually cause the tragedy of the Western Jin Dynasty, Cao Chao is not too worried, if it is undecided today, there are competitors outside, and no one dares to mess up easily.

Hearing Cao Chao's answer, Zheng Hao also wondered in his heart, since you know everything, why do you still have such crazy thoughts?

Cao Chao said: "I don't mean to deny Emperor Wen's policy, I just want the clan to live a better life, do you know, what kind of life the clan has been living all these years?" ”

"Constantly changing the fiefdom, all year round on the road, and even some princes can't support the people in the mansion, so they need to borrow food and money from others."

"How can I bear to watch my clan suffer like this?"

Zheng Hao said seriously: "If Your Majesty just doesn't want the clan to suffer, then you just need to improve their treatment and let them own some inheritance."

"Yes, yes, that's what I want!"

Cao Chao hurriedly spoke.

Zheng Yuan wanted to speak and stopped.

Didn't you say that, didn't you say that you wanted to increase his power and let them monitor and manage the place?

Zheng Hao understood in his heart that the emperor was preparing to take the rope from the clan step by step, and the emperor's purpose, Zheng Hao also knew, that releasing the clan was, of course, to suppress the courtiers and clans.

Zheng Hao is in a dilemma again at this moment, if he helps the emperor, then if there is a real fight between the courtiers and the princes in the future, the ministers will have to reflect on where the problem is.

We can't kill the emperor and the princes, can't we kill you?

But if you refuse the emperor now, well, unless you can get rid of Zongzheng's position as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid that I will be set on fire by the emperor and block his own affairs, how terrible the emperor is, Zheng Yuan, who is good at knowing people, knows best.

Looking at Zheng Yuan, who was particularly entangled, Cao Chao smiled and said: "Zheng Jun leads Zongzheng with Guanglu Xun, there are too many things to do, who can you recommend to me for this Zongzheng's position?" ”

Zheng Hao trembled.

Yes, yes, that's what I want!

In this period, Zongzheng's location is a sinkhole.

The real kind of thankless, if you do it well, you won't get any benefits, if you don't do it well, you will suffer, and if you don't do anything, you will offend people.

This position was given to Zheng Yuan by Sima Shi, and Zheng Yuan didn't want to do it at all.

Zheng Hao hurriedly pondered, who should be pushed out to take the blame?

He raised his head and felt Cao Chao's eyes full of deep meaning, and at that moment, Zheng Hao trembled, and he suddenly remembered someone.

"Your Majesty!!"

"The king of Pengcheng is a virtuous person, with noble morals, known to the world, and can be a righteous sect!"

Cao Chao laughed.

I still remember that when I was in Yuancheng, Cao Chao promoted this person's benevolence to the outside world every day, but I didn't expect that Zheng Yuan actually gave it back to him at this moment.

Do you want a wise man from the clan? That must be King Pengcheng, who said that? Say it yourself!

"Okay, I'll handle this matter myself, Gong Zheng, during this time, I think it's best for you to stay in the mansion with peace of mind, and don't get involved in those messy things, otherwise it will definitely be bad for you."

Cao Chao's words sound like a threat, but they are actually a kind reminder.

The ministers had already started to celebrate in advance, and even began to divide the vacancies to be left after Sima Shi's death, but Cao Chao still felt that whoever danced the happiest now would die the worst in the future.

Zheng Hao received the order, and told Cao Chao about the recent work in Zongzheng Mansion, and then left here.

After he left, Cao Chao directly asked one of his freeriders to come over.

"Your Majesty!!"

Sima Yan soon appeared in front of Cao Chao, he sat next to Cao Chao and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I haven't been out for days, and my father won't let me go out at all, and I don't know how many days I'll have to stay if you hadn't sent someone to invite me."

"By the way, you were sent to the palace??"

Cao Chao nodded, "Yes, I have to go back after staying with the queen for a few days." ”

"I also scared this shaft before, saying that I want him to enter the palace as a eunuch, so he must not be scared to death?"

Cao Chao suddenly laughed, "No wonder he was so frightened when he first came, it was you who scared him before"

The two laughed for a while, and Cao Chao said with a straight face: "Okay, it's a matter of calling Linglai, and the rest will be talked about later, let's talk about business first." ”

Sima Yan also hurriedly sat up straight.

"Please give your Majesty's order, what do you want your ministers to do?"

Cao Chao opened his mouth and asked, "Do you want to be Jiuqing?" ”

"Huh?"

"Me?"

Sima Yan's solemn expression suddenly collapsed, and he looked at Cao Chao blankly, "Your Majesty, the minister has not yet set up a crown."

"Don't be afraid, it's for you to be the Zongzheng, this position is different from the rest of Jiuqing, you want a prestigious sect, and you don't need to do anything, just stay in this position."

Cao Chao said slowly.

"Your Majesty said that I have a high reputation, and I admit it, but am I also considered a Great Wei clan??"

"Why can't it be counted? Isn't the queen related to you? ”

Sima Yan smiled bitterly and said: "But I am only a teenager, how can there ever be a teenage Jiuqing in the world, how dare this Manchu minister agree?" ”

Cao Chao actually really thinks that Sima Yan is suitable for doing Zongzheng, Sima Yan's ability is not outstanding, but his interpersonal skills are still very good, he can get along with anyone, you don't see him getting along with Cao Chao so happily now.

He is generous and simple, and he is quite good for docking with the clan.

It's a pity, as Sima Yan said, his age is too young, and if he is more than ten years old, if he is forcibly appointed as Zongzheng, the ministers in the temple will have to make a fuss.

In the temple, it is rare to see a thirty-year-old Jiuqing, and forty years old is already a dragon and phoenix among people.

Generally speaking, the temple will still suppress the minister, especially in terms of age.

Otherwise, you have just done Jiuqing in your early thirties, and you are already a third-level public when you just turned forty, and you still have a merit of destroying the country, so what should you do next?

How will I reward in the future? Sealed and refrigerated? Or will you open a mansion and seal the duke?

That's right, it's Zhong Shiji.

Cao Chao smiled and said, "Well, since you don't want to, then you can only choose someone else." ”

"Who do you think would be the right fit?"

"How is my father?"

"Uh-huh???"

ps: Recommend my friend's old book "Into the Unscientific", I seem to have pushed him with three books in a row, and he still hasn't finished it, it seems that I wrote it too fast.
