Chapter 222: General Zhengxi, Please
Cao Chao and Zhong Hui are both do-it-all personalities.
Zhong Hui left here directly, saying that he was going to find Zheng Yuan and prepare to take up the post of Zongzheng.
Cao Chao didn't want to disturb the Queen Mother anymore, and let the Queen Mother rest for a day, so that she could calm down her inner panic sometimes, and come back tomorrow to talk to her about these appointments.
Cao Chao knows that now is the best opportunity to arrange his own manpower.
Today's temple ministers are like a plate of scattered sand, Sima Shi's death coupled with local turmoil, as well as their internal interest struggles, make them completely uncohesive, in this case, Cao Chao can act recklessly.
But once they calmed down and began to coalesce, it would be very difficult for Cao Chao to do something again.
The forces formed by the ministers will be more powerful than Sima Shi, wrapping Cao Chao from all aspects, originally fighting with Sima Shi, Cao Chao likes to drag, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Sima Shi.
And now, the further it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the emperor.
Fortunately, with the help of Sima Shi, his final blow caused many clans to suffer heavy casualties, especially those big families in Hebei, who were almost wiped out, and most importantly, this will cause the next wave of infighting among the ministers, who will rob the inheritance left by these big families.
Of course, don't think about what land and population.
At this moment, the clan territory is still geographically as the core, you are a family in Henan, it is impossible to insert your hand into Hebei, even if it is a marriage with Hebei, you can't break in, and the locals will fight hard with you.
Great Wei has its own unique regional politics, people in different regions are hostile to each other, all kinds of regional blacks are rampant, everyone is a fellow villager helping a fellow countryman, a villager supports a fellow villager, the local big clan falls, there will be other small families rising, but outsiders will never be allowed to interfere.
The things they want to inherit will be things like official titles, classics, and even titles.
Well, because a clan will have several veins, and the main vein has fallen, that vein is naturally to snatch away the "claim" of the main vein, after becoming so-and-so.
For example, Zhang Yi and Zhang Hua of Shu are both descendants of Liuhou, if it is not a divided situation now, and Zhang Hua's clan is strong enough, then the title after Liuhou belongs to Zhang Hua, Zhang Yi can't say that to the outside world, you have to say who is the descendant of the son or grandson of Liuhou. But once Zhang Hua is gone, that Zhang Yi will be transformed, and he will be the queen of Liuhou!
Anyway, there are a lot of things left for them to snatch, and Cao Chao is not afraid that they won't be able to fight.
Zhang Hua looked at the emperor in front of him, the emperor's face was sluggish, he fell into deep thought, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He looked at Wei Shu on the side, and Wei Shu looked the same.
It's not surprising, he's always been like that.
Zhang Hua only felt a little embarrassed, looking at the two people in a daze, he hesitated for a moment, and then began to fall into a stupor.
"Father!!"
Guo Ping's shouting came from outside the door.
The two people in the room finally woke up, and Wei Shu couldn't wake up.
Cao Chao looked at them with a smile, nodded, and Zhang Hua and Wei Shu left.
Guo Ping soon appeared in front of Cao Chao, along with Sima You.
"Father! You see! ”
"The armor I made!"
Guo Ping raised the armor made of wood in his hand, and Cao Chao couldn't help laughing, "The snowman has melted, and your armor is ready?" ”
Guo Ping said seriously: "It's okay, wouldn't it be good to wait until next year?" ”
"But next year, if the snowman grows up, will he be able to wear your armor again?"
Cao Chao asked with a smile.
Guo Ping frowned, "Yes, it should have been bigger, but it was negligent!" ”
Sima You couldn't help snickering, and found that Cao Chao looked like him, but he hurriedly returned to his serious and well-behaved appearance.
Compared with his brother, Sima You, this kid is very smart, at this age, he has learned how to hide his heart, and these days, he always runs to Cao Chao's side.
It's just that this kid's feeling for Cao Chao is not as pure as Sima Yan's.
is obviously just a child, but most of the time he can't see the innocence of a child.
The people of the Sima family seem to want to cultivate another Sima Master.
When he saw the young Sima You, Cao Chao could somewhat understand Sima Shi's growth process.
Entrusting the future of the entire clan to one person, when anything superfluous will kill everyone around him, if he continues to develop according to the original plan of the Sima family, will he be the next Sima Master?
Cao Chao stared at the child in front of him and suddenly beckoned to him.
Sima You lowered his head and slowly walked to Cao Chao's side.
"Go back and tell your mother, your birth mother, that I want to see her."
Sima You was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly agreed.
"This flat armor is smaller, go help him make a big one."
Sima You looked at him blankly, and then looked at Guo Ping on the side, "This is"
"This is the emperor's edict, if you don't complete it, you will be arrested as a eunuch."
Sima You was startled and agreed again.
Cao Chao laughed at this time and let the two go out and continue to play
Kojou Inside.
Gao Rou's eyes were full of disgust.
Why is this group of filthy things here again??
Gao Rou deliberately hung them for a while, and then walked out of the inner room in a hurry, and after walking out of the inner room, Gao Rou's expression became sluggish in an instant, trembling, like a candle in the wind.
When the ministers in the courtyard saw Gao Rou come out, they bowed one after another, and subconsciously forgot about their previous rude behavior.
Xun Yi hurriedly visited: "Is Situ Gong okay?" ”
"Not dead yet!"
Gao Rou held on crutches, frowned, and glared at them with an unkind face, "What is the matter with coming here to wait for these future generations?!" ”
Everyone here is also an old man in his sixties and seventies, no matter how he says it, it has absolutely nothing to do with the next generation, but there is no way, who makes Gao Rou the oldest?
He said that you are an afterlife, then you are an afterlife.
Xun Yi hurriedly said: "This time I invite Situ Gong to go to Shangshutai to take over the post of Shangshuling."
Gao Rou's face darkened.
Again??
It's over, isn't it??
Really don't take the three princes of the temple in your eyes? It's too much of a deception!
Gao Rou was about to abuse, but Xun Yi hurriedly explained: "Situ Gong, Lu Yu can no longer serve as Shang Shuling, and only you can save Dawei at this time." ”
Gao Rou noticed that Xun Yi called Lu Yu by his name, he was stunned for a moment, and then motioned for everyone to follow him into the inner room.
The ministers were crowded in the small inner room, almost all of them sticking together, but the matter was urgent, and they had no intention of complaining.
"What's going on?"
"Situ Gong, there are big things in the place, all because of Lu Yu, Lu Yu can no longer serve as Shang Shuling, let's go to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother said, you can come to Situ Gong to discuss this matter."
A smile appeared on Gao Rou's face.
Oh? Something happened to Lu Yu?
He asked more calmly, "What's going on?" ”
"As Situ Gong said, Lu Yu controlled Shangshutai and maliciously delayed agriculture and military funds, causing civil uprisings in various places"
Xun Yi told Gao Rou in detail what was happening in various places.
Gao Rou is not worried about his clan, his clan is in Henan, and it is not affected at all.
After hearing Xun Yi finish speaking, Gao Rou suddenly understood what had happened, and her heart was extremely comfortable.
Thinking of Lu Yu's lofty face a few days ago, Gao Rou almost laughed out loud at this moment, of course, you can't laugh at all, after all, so many big clans have suffered from the disaster of annihilation, and it is somewhat immoral to laugh now.
Gao Rou looked at everyone, and her attitude softened.
"Well, why not?"
"At the beginning, the old man once said that Lu Yu's behavior was harming my Great Wei, and Shangshutai is the institution in charge of the world, how can it be operated like this?"
"For his own selfish desires, he caused chaos in the four places, and so many innocent people died."
"He Lu Yu still has the face to claim to be the Great Wei Shangshu Ling?!"
Xun Yi lowered his head, at this moment, in the face of Gao Rou's questioning, he didn't dare to say anything, who would have thought that this Hebei would be chaotic, and even drove the Central Plains, fortunately, the northwest is still relatively peaceful, if something happens in the northwest, it will be a big problem.
"It's all our fault."
"We mistrusted the bad guys."
A few days ago, he also controlled the Shangshu Order of the Great Wei Dynasty, but at this moment he has become a villain, and when such a thing happens, Lu Yu has no hope of rising again.
What he had to think about now was not how to continue to be Shang Shuling, but how to protect himself from those angry Hebei clan forces.
Now the anger of the Hebei clan doesn't know how to calm down, they won't let you go just because you were wiped out, after all, this is a big trouble that you picked up single-handedly.
Gao Rou was very proud, and when she saw that everyone was bowing their heads, she asked, "Then what do you want to discuss here?" ”
Xun Yi then said: "The general of the expedition to the north He Zeng went to the table, saying that there were 100,000 traitors in Hebei, sweeping all states and counties, and there was no control, and Deng Ai, the assassin of Yanzhou, said that there were also rebellions in various parts of the Central Plains, and there was also a mutiny in the army!! ”
"Situ Gong!! When today's crisis is not handled properly, Great Wei will be"
"Please lead your ministers and put down the rebellion!!"
"What did you say?"
"I'm going to counterinsurgency??"
Gao Rou's eyes widened, looking at these "young people" in front of her, can you make a face? On weekdays, I have all kinds of hostility towards the old man, and I have repeatedly come to me for trouble, and now the traitors are strong, so I want the old man to quell the rebellion?
Do you think the old man seems to be able to lead a large army to fight and quell the rebellion? ?
The old man went to quell the rebellion, what are you dogs doing, go home to feed?
Gao Rou shook her head, "The old man doesn't know about soldiers. ”
"You have to choose another meritorious."
Gao Rou has no idea of fighting for power at this moment, if the traitor appears in the Central Plains, then the situation will be different, his clan is also in the Central Plains, and the matter of countering the rebellion still has to be handed over to a reliable person to handle.
"It's better to let General Zhengxi come forward and let him order the generals everywhere to organize the army to quell the rebellion!!"
Xun Yi couldn't help it immediately.
When he opened his mouth one by one, everyone was shocked.
