Chapter 240: Proud Protégé
The day after the banquet in the East Hall, the whole of Luoyang became a little different.
The two celebrities of the Xun family suddenly became famous, and Sima Yan's matter was also talked about by everyone.
The scholars reacted suddenly, instead of letting others brush this fame, why can't they brush it themselves? Fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, so the chickens and dogs of all ethnic groups suddenly jumped and became a mess.
Under the impact of metaphysical thoughts, the discipline of the elders over the younger generations has been weakened a lot.
And the Tai students of Great Wei, although they are also from a family, are probably because they are still young, and they have not lost their ambition to govern the world.
Scholars always have some kind of higher pursuit, which is higher than their actual interests.
The scholars of the Wei and Jin dynasties were wild and contemptuous of etiquette, which was also an advantage that could be absorbed by Cao Chao.
Although it is not easy for the ministers to suppress them directly, they are also indifferent to their advice, they are not afraid of these scholars, after all, they are just talking about it, brushing their fame or something.
What they really care about is the big things in the world.
The counterinsurgency in various places was very smooth, and after the arrival of reinforcements in Hebei, it was also overwhelming, and those traitors fled in all directions, unable to parry.
And what dissatisfied the courtiers was Hu Zun, the governor of Qingxu.
The situation in Xuzhou is very strange, and there has been a large-scale turmoil in Hebei, so there are many counties that have been breached, and the big families have suffered, and the big families can understand.
However, there are not many counties in Xuzhou that have been breached, and the overall destructive power is very limited, but the number of families that can be broken is not less than that of Hebei.
It's as if these traitors suddenly appeared, and then only stared at the big clans of Xuzhou to slaughter.
It simply doesn't make sense.
Even Qingzhou was affected, but fortunately, Shi Bao, who was sitting in Qingzhou, acted in time to avoid the same situation in Qingzhou.
By this time, the ministers had finally confirmed their guesses.
This matter has nothing to do with the general.
In Hebei, there have been many rebellions, and if something like this happens, everyone won't think much about it, but how can this be the case in Henan? In the past, it was very peaceful, and this Xuzhou is even more so, your traitors are staring at the big clan to kill, right? There is no offense against the people??
Thinking of Hu Zun's close relationship with Sima Shi, the ministers immediately confirmed their guesses.
It's just that it's useless for them to be sure.
Unless you can win over the generals outside, how can you turn against Sima Zhao?
The two sides will not be able to go to war at all, and once the war starts, it will definitely be a dead fish and a broken net, and both sides will lose.
At this moment, Wang Xiang didn't pay attention to these things at all, but he was very happy, and the ministers could be distracted by this matter.
At this moment, he held a meeting in his mansion.
Those who were close to him came here.
At first glance, his power is already not to be underestimated.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Shangshutai's Zhongzheng system has not been implemented for a long time, and many ministers of Shangshutai have begun to forget their original ideas, and they are in the struggle for power and profit all day long, which is extremely inappropriate."
"It's not that I'm disrespectful to the public, it's just their behavior, and I don't dare to agree."
Wang Xiang said solemnly.
Chen Qian, Zheng Yuan, Wang Jing, Cui Zan, Wang Guan and others sat on both sides and listened to his words.
"Shang Shutai no longer does things, but we can't let it go any longer, I'm ready to do these things myself"
After Sima Shi's death, there was a vacuum in the supreme power, which caused chaos, which would bring many crises, and this was also a good opportunity.
Wang Xiang sees hope in today's chaos, and he is ready to take over this mess to solve these things.
Everyone present had different expressions.
The mess in today's temple is not so easy to solve, and the complexity of the situation is far beyond everyone's expectations.
Not to mention anything else, Sima Zhao, the biggest unstable factor, is extremely difficult to solve.
Everyone understands what Wang Xiang means, but can it be done?
Chen Qian looked at everyone and was the first to speak.
"I thought what the prince said was reasonable, since the death of the general, Shang Shutai has achieved nothing, and it is really despicable to be restrained everywhere by people like Zhong Hui, I am willing to handle these big things."
Chen Qian was originally this character, and after he spoke, Cui Zan also said: "Today's chaos has to find a way to calm down, and those who made big mistakes before should also pay the price!" ”
Then Wang Guan also nodded, which was regarded as support.
Wang Xiang laughed, with the approval of these people, then it's okay.
Gao Rou and Sima Fu didn't notice that the situation today was different from the past.
Now is not the era of the great general, but the era of the family that he opened up single-handedly.
In today's era, it is unbelievable that he still uses the methods of the past, strives to avoid trouble, and lets others do it for him.
The head of today's ministers is not through inheritance, but through his own ability.
How can you be afraid of things at such a time? It should be the initiative to solve all things, and the ministers will definitely choose the most capable person who can bring the greatest benefits to take charge of Shangshutai.
Seeing that Gao Rou and the others were indifferent, Wang Xiang had the idea of taking the initiative to do things.
After successfully convincing his own faction, Wang Xiang asked them to go back and get ready, and he took a car to the palace.
Wang Xiang squinted his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
When he came to the East Hall, the Emperor was already waiting here.
Looking at the respectful Cao Chao in front of him, Wang Xiang's heart was also very complicated.
No matter how you look at it, this disciple of your own family is the best, and no one's disciple can compare.
The talent for the classics, the respect for the teacher, and even the attitude towards others, in all aspects, there is almost no fault to be found.
How nice it would be if he weren't the emperor.
Wang Xiang sighed again.
If Cao Chao was just an ordinary clan, Wang Xiang would definitely cultivate him as a confidant, marry the best woman in the clan to him, and spend all his resources to pave the way for him
It's a pity that he is an emperor.
The better he performs, the greater the threat to his courtiers.
Wang Xiang looked at his proud protégé and remembered what he had done these days, and there was pride in his eyes.
Others don't know, but Wang Xiang knows that the bell will be His Majesty's person for a long time, and what the clock will do these days must be His Majesty's instructions.
What an excellent emperor, first used the ministers to suppress the Sima family, and now he has created chaos, and if he wants to suppress the ministers, he even has a certain ability to fight back.
When he first arrived in Luoyang, he had no relatives in the world.
It's amazing to be able to get to where we are now.
This is my own disciple.
Wang Xiang sighed, and the smugness in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
His face turned serious.
What a dangerous enemy this is.
If you are a little lax, you will be deceived by his harmless appearance, and you don't know how you died.
Too many ministers have already fallen into his hands.
In the new era, there is no such position as an ambitious young emperor, and in the new era, the power must be out of three stations, and the emperor can only enjoy the role of the world's great rule.
An emperor with such ambition and such means will stand in the way of the new era and become an existence that must be overthrown.
Wang Xiang knew in his heart that soon, he was going to face up to this proud protégé.
Now the two sides can still maintain a harmonious relationship because there are Gao Rou, Sima Fu and others.
Once these people bow their heads to themselves, then the next step is a duel between themselves and this proud disciple.
The one who wins can start a whole new era.
Wang Xiang is still very confident in himself, and on his side are the elites of the whole world.
This is a force that no emperor dares to ignore.
At the beginning, he was as strong as Emperor Guangwu, and he had to bow his head to this force, but after so much strengthening, there was no one to suppress, Sima Shi couldn't do it, and neither did the young Son of Heaven.
"Teacher?"
Cao Chao opened his mouth to interrupt Wang Xiang's contemplation.
Wang Xiang hurriedly sobered up and sat down with the support of Cao Chao.
"Your Majesty, let's start teaching first."
"Yui."
Wang Xiang suddenly spoke: "I heard that Your Majesty and many celebrities asked about the reason for the loss of morality in the ancestors? ”
Cao Chao nodded, "There is such a thing." ”
Wang Xiang's expression was very serious, and he said, "The minister has heard different opinions. ”
"Teacher, please speak."
Wang Xiang then said: "The minister listened to the sage and said: The ancestors of the Han Dynasty have never lost their virtues, and those who have lost virtue are also their kings. ”
"Xia Wei, Shang Xuan, Zhou You, II, Haidu, Huan Ling, it is because of their mediocrity that it has led to the replacement of the world, this is not because the dynasty has lost its virtue, but because the king has lost its virtue."
"Your Majesty, these dynasties prospered because there were wise kings, and they perished because there were mediocre kings."
"The things of the world are like this, the Ming monarch rules the world, and the faint monarch loses his morality, as you said at the beginning, Shaokang is better than Gaozu."
Cao Chao sighed, just looked at his teacher calmly.
Wang Xiang continued: "Your Majesty, the sage said: Let the prosperity of the dynasty be placed on one person, this is the reason for the demise of all dynasties, if the ministers work together to rule the world, the emperor listens to their advice, and the country is at ease, then the situation will change. ”
"Even if the king loses his morality, and the dynasty does not change, the monarch and the ministers work together, and the world is governed, which is beneficial to the people and the emperor."
"And the sages who govern the world believe that one person's selfish desires must not destroy the world, and only then is the medicine that governs the world."
"A wise king should not cause turmoil in the world and cause the people to suffer because of his own selfish desires, and the wisdom of one man is no better than the wisdom of the world."
"What does Your Majesty think of this sage?"
Wang Xiang looked at his disciple at this moment.
There was no anger on Cao Chao's face, and he was even a little happy.
"That's a very good idea, and I agree with it."
"Oh? Your Majesty is really"
"However, I don't think the idea of this sage has yet to be implemented."
