Chapter 247: It's all to blame on that brother

Cao Chao's feelings for Wang Jing are somewhat complicated.

At the time of the week, Cao Chao couldn't bear it anymore and decided to take the lead in charging and killing Sima Zhao.

He invited three ministers to conspire about this matter, but Wang Jing did not betray him and persuaded him to be patient, but Cao Chao did not listen.

Wang Jingming knew that the other two would betray the emperor, but he did not follow them to tell the truth.

In the end, he was killed by Sima Zhao.

used his life to protect his virtue.

Therefore, this time, Cao Chao will listen to him.

In Cao Chao's eyes, this person is the same as Biqiu Jian, he is a trustworthy loyal minister, he was pulled up by the Sima family, at that time, Sima Zhao's power was monstrous, no one could govern him, and the ministers had all been obedient.

The other two sages from the big clans trembled and beckoned Wang Jing to go with him to tell the truth, but Wang Jing refused them without hesitation.

Faced with such a situation, Wang Jing still chose to die with the emperor.

Finally, when Sima Yan ascended the throne, Sima Yan talked about Wang Jing and said that he was a rare loyal minister, so he pardoned his crimes and called his grandson to serve as Langzhong and accompany him.

"Prince, how do you think this matter should be planned?"

Cao Chao asked.

Wang Jing frowned at this moment, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, although there is a fight between the courtiers and the central court, if Your Majesty makes a move against them, they will definitely unite. ”

"When I was in Shangshutai before, the ministers discussed many times about dealing with His Majesty."

"Sima Fu said that he would replace the people around you, send you to the Xuanwu Pavilion, and imprison you, so that you could not communicate with the outside world."

"You now have the help of the town guard generals, so they don't dare to act rashly."

"They didn't dare to change the general of the town guard, so they sent people to replace the generals under their command, and those incompetent people who fled from the Chinese army were arranged by the ministers to the palace guards, trying to use them to overthrow the town guard general."

"As soon as the ministers feel that they are enough to resist the general of the Zhenhu, they will immediately take action and imprison Your Majesty, who is afraid that it will be difficult to communicate with the outside world."

"Your Majesty can join forces with General Wei, General Wei doesn't want to see the ministers control the government now, if he is staring, the ministers will not dare to treat Your Majesty like this."

"Once Your Majesty can't contact the outside world, with the character of the Queen Mother, it will definitely fall to the ministers, and the ministers have the Queen Mother in hand, they can directly skip General Wei to govern the world, and even remove him again."

"General Wei thinks that he has an army in hand, but the maintenance of the army requires the help of the temple"

"Besides, if the Empress Dowager's edict is passed on to the army by the ministers, the generals may not obey General Wei's orders."

Wang Jing analyzed the current situation.

Cao Chao nodded, "What you said makes a lot of sense. ”

"When General Wei returns, I will talk to him about this matter."

Wang Jing sighed and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, if you want to complete such a big thing, you must not be in a hurry, Your Majesty is still young, and when Your Majesty reaches the age of pro-government, many things will become much easier." ”

Cao Chao also knew that what Wang Jing said was right, but the question was, the ministers also had to let themselves grow up to that time, right?

Judging from the current style of the clan, I am afraid that I will not survive that time, and I will either be deposed or have an accident.

Originally, there was only one minister, but now this is the Manchu minister.

But Cao Chao didn't tell Wang Jingming many of his thoughts, not because he couldn't trust the other party, but mainly because he was afraid that the other party wouldn't be able to understand what he meant for the time being

The chaos in Shangshutai has spread throughout Luoyang.

Taixue became a miasma.

Hundreds of people gathered at the gate of Taixue, divided into two factions, and scolded each other.

"Unfilial piety! Unfilial piety to the extreme! Since ancient times, I have never heard of the truth that juniors can insult adults! ”

"It's a big rebellion!"

"Disobedient villain!"

Some of the students blushed and shouted insults at the students around them.

Since the emperor personally commented on the two people of the Xun family, and Sima Yan killed his relatives and scolded him at the door of Taifu, the atmosphere of the whole Luoyang has become weird.

In line with the tenet that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, many young scholars began to brush up on the fame of their parents.

Of course, there are also overturned cars, such as Gao Rou's grandson Gao Tao, because he reprimanded Gao Rou in person, he was hung up and beaten by Gao Rou, and after the beating, he was thrown into the Chinese army to sharpen, or he was directly sent to Ma Long's battalion, threatening to break his leg if he dared to run!

But most of them succeeded, and there were also connivances from their elders.

After all, the world is different now, you need fame to climb up, you have reached this position, and you won't fall off if you are scolded a few words, so why not help your juniors to nominate them, so that they can make good progress in the future?

The high-pressure policy that had lasted for many years was suddenly loosened, and the scholars suddenly became excited.

Previously, when Sima Shi was in power, scholars were not allowed to talk about state affairs, and even after Cao Chao wrote the empty city bird, he directly ordered that the scholars were forbidden to talk about this poem, and those who talked about it would be punished.

And now, no one cares what they say, and the emperor personally asks them to speak up.

In the eyes of the ministers, this is not a bad thing, after all, the original high-pressure policy was not only aimed at those young scholars, but also for them, the ministers, who were also persecuted by this policy.

The ministers are no different from the young scholars, they are all scholars, and Cao Chao wants to untie the shackles on the scholars, which is not a big problem for the ministers.

It may be a little detrimental to their current rule, but it is not fatal.

No matter how noisy it is, after all, it is still the younger generation of his own family.

And this kind of heavy attack on the elders is even a good thing in the eyes of some ministers, but you personally asked us to write a letter to advise?

Since our juniors can speak out to advise us, then we can naturally also speak out to advise the emperor.

This is the initiative to hand us the blade.

Perhaps because there was silence for too long, when the scholars began to speak, the whole Luoyang became extremely lively.

And Taixue is also divided into multiple factions.

Now those who point to the people and abuse them are the traditionalists, who still respect the Han Dynasty's model of rule by virtue and attach great importance to etiquette and law.

Even when Sima Shi was in power, their status was very high, after all, ruling the world still needed the assistance of etiquette.

He Zeng is a representative figure of this kind of celebrity, He Zeng strictly abides by the etiquette, and to what extent does his etiquette observe?

He sees his wife three times a year according to etiquette, and when he goes to see his wife, he always dresses neatly and treats each other like guests.

After the death of Ruan Zhi's mother, Ruan Zhi did not abide by the etiquette and law, ate and drank heavily, and did not take the matter seriously at all, He Zeng was extremely angry and asked Sima Zhao to exile the person, believing that Ruan Zhi had "polluted China" and destroyed the moral society of China.

If you look closely, you will find that those who support the etiquette law are those who are in high positions and are deeply trusted by the Sima family, while those who are uninhibited and contemptuous of the etiquette law are mostly backbones.

They use it to vent their frustrations.

For Cao Chao, the two factions have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Needless to say, etiquette is the foundation of ruling the world, and the emperor's ruling power is strengthened by etiquette, if there is no etiquette, you don't have to respect your own adult, so why respect your emperor? The result of the demise of the Rite and Law School is "Son of Heaven, the strong soldier and the strong horse do it!" ”

Then there will be such a situation as "beating the emperor with three punches" and "dog's feet".

And the disadvantages are also obvious, whoever is in power, they defend.

And those metaphysical schools, they despise etiquette, and some even directly abandon Confucianism and begin to rediscover the extinct Huang Lao school, the Taoist school.

The advantage is that they are not imprisoned by etiquette, tear through the ideological shackles, and dare to tell the truth.

And at this moment, in Taixue, there are many factions of various schools, because of the banquet in the East Hall, coupled with the suppression of losing power, many parties directly went to war.

In the face of the crusade of these ritual schools, the metaphysical school did not back down at all.

"Watching one's own adults make mistakes and not stopping them, is this filial piety?"

"This is the biggest unfilial piety!"

"How can you talk about morality on the grounds of etiquette and law, regardless of the righteousness of the world?!"

The verbal conflict between the two sides quickly escalated to the level of a physical altercation.

Fortunately, the government intervened in time to stop their vicious fighting and did not allow the conflict to escalate again.

Zhong Yu sat in the Tingwei Mansion and had a headache when he saw the many scholars who were sent in.

What should be done with these people?

They are all guys from big clans, and if they are all dealt with, I am afraid that something will happen.

Zhong Yu first looked at the Rite and Law faction, if it weren't for these people blocking the door and insulting, would it cause such a conflict?

It seems that their leaders must be punished severely, or they will become even more lawless.

"Who is taking the lead?"

Zhong Yu asked.

The scholars immediately looked at the leader.

It was a young man with a blue nose and swollen face, and hurriedly saluted Zhong Yu.

"He Shao greets Zhong Gong."

Zhong Yu was silent, and he looked at those metaphysical schools again, although the ritual school made the first move, but it was because these metaphysical schools went to do things first.

It seems that we have to start with them.

"What about you?! Who led the way?! ”

Zhong Yu's face became more serious, and he asked loudly.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on a young man at the front, who slowly walked out and saluted Zhong Yu.

"Pei Kai meets Zhong Gong!"

Zhong Yu kept a straight face, "Pull these two people out for me and lock them up." ”

The little officials on the side were shocked, one was the son of the general of Zhengbei, and the other was the son of the Jizhou Thorn Shi, how dare he arrest it.

"Quick!"

"Yui!!"

Immediately, a soldier pushed the two men out of the place.

Zhong Yu's face was dark, and he couldn't help but scold his younger brother in his heart!

Look at what you've provoked me, can't you stop it?!
