Chapter 256: Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Tiger Fight
Probably because Sima Yan is still here, Huabiao didn't say it directly.
Now that he wants to kill the ministers, the happiest person is Sima Zhao.
He directly led his henchmen back to Qingjun's side, and cleared it with the emperor.
After Huabiao spoke, Wang Shen reacted, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Hua Gong said is very right. ”
"Your Majesty must not be impulsive, I think Your Majesty should gather the ministers and have a good talk with them, there must be some misunderstanding in this, the ministers know the stakes, and they dare not be disloyal to Your Majesty."
Then, he said in a righteous manner: "If Your Majesty allows, I am willing to go to Shangshutai in person to persuade the ministers to come and confess!" ”
"Your Majesty is the lord of Great Wei, how dare the ministers be disrespectful to you?"
"All it takes is an edict from you, and the ministers will naturally come and confess."
Cao Chao suddenly realized, and looked at the rest of the people.
Ruan Ji kept a straight face, still not saying a word, but Zheng Xiaotong wanted to speak and stopped.
"Zheng Gong, what do you think?"
Cao Chao asked.
Zheng Xiaotong hesitated for a moment, but still said resolutely: "The minister has been dismissed by the ministers, as Your Majesty said, since the traitor has moved, there is no reason to admit his guilt." ”
"Wang Shen just wants to protect himself, wants to run out of the palace and tell the traitors."
Hearing Zheng Xiaotong's words, Wang Shen was stunned, he jumped up violently and scolded: "Zheng Xiaotong! You are vain the grandson of the gods! As a sage, you dare to bewitch the king here and sow discord, aren't you afraid that the ancestors will come to ask for sin? Your Majesty is wise, how can I listen to your slander! ”
Zheng Xiaotong's eldest father, Zheng Xuan, is too good at classics, so he has a nickname called Jingshen, the god of classics.
Everyone was a little surprised, even Cao Chao was a little surprised.
He originally thought that this Zheng Xiaotong, like Zheng Chong Ruan Ji and others, was just thinking about how to protect himself and would not force his way out, and he also regarded Sima Zhao's poisoning of Zheng Xiaotong as an ordinary power struggle.
But now it seems that this person's position is not as vague as he thinks.
This man is still a little bold and a little moral.
Cao Chao laughed, "What Gong Zheng said is reasonable." ”
"Escort this man to me!"
Cao Chao pointed at Wang Shen this time, Wang Shen's performance at the moment was not as good as that highlight, he sat directly on the ground, begging for mercy loudly, completely lacking the heroism and courage of his usual days.
Cao Chao ignored him at all, and let him be dragged down by the armor soldiers.
The faces of everyone present became cautious, and they no longer dared to speak easily.
Cao Chao looked at Pei Xiu this time, smiling rather than smiling.
"Pei Jun, when you came to see me, you didn't obey, did you?"
Pei Xiu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said very seriously: "Your Majesty summoned you, how dare you disperse?" ”
He originally had the idea of running naked in a disobedient manner, but seeing two people being dragged down in a row, he dispelled this idea.
The emperor obviously doesn't plan to save any face for everyone, and now if he pretends to be crazy and stupid again, and is obedient here, the chance of being dragged down is extremely high.
"So what do you think we should do now?"
Cao Chao asked again.
Pei Xiu hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that in dealing with the ministers, they must be co-opted and divided, and they must not be forced too much, otherwise, as Hua Gong said, the world will be opposed, and it will definitely not be Your Majesty who will benefit in the end." ”
"Oh, that's right."
Cao Chao looked at these ministers, and probably had an idea in his heart.
"Shiji, what should I do?"
Cao Chao asked directly.
Zhong Hui laughed, he liked the emperor's temper, Zhong Hui was not in a hurry at the moment, and he was not even afraid.
"If the ministers want to do it to Your Majesty, they will definitely do it to the Chinese army."
"Has Your Majesty sent someone to inform me?"
"Zhang Hua has passed."
Zhong Hui nodded and asked again, "What about the people in the palace who participated in the rebellion?" ”
"They have all been taken, and they have not been put to death."
The bell will be clear again.
"Your Majesty, please come in with me, I have something to say."
Zhong Hui obviously didn't believe the ministers present, Cao Chao didn't pretend to say anything like henchmen, and simply followed Zhong Hui into the inner room, but after a while, Zhong Hui and Cao Chao walked out together.
When he walked out, Chung would smile happily.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the minister still has to go out, and the minister will bring the ministers to meet you."
"Okay."
Cao Chao replied very simply, and did not ask where Zhong Hui was going.
The ministers were stunned, looked at each other a few times, and looked at Zhong Hui with a strange look, what did this guy want to do?
Zhong Hui looked at them, "You can think about what to do with those traitors!" ”
"Then clean the Taiji Hall and wait for the Great Imperial Conference!"
After he finished his order, he swaggered out of the place.
Cao Chao looked at the people in front of him, his face was very calm.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry, later, there are important things that need your help."
"Your Majesty! Despite the commands! What do you need me to do?! ”
Sima Yan couldn't wait to sit next to Cao Chao, he had been looking forward to making contributions for a long time, but he didn't have a chance.
Cao Chao smiled, "Anshi, don't worry, you have to do the most things." ”
"You will leave the palace now, I will make you a military general, join the army, and give you five hundred armor soldiers, you will return to the general's mansion with people now, I want you to command the armor soldiers in the general's palace, close the gate, assist your mother, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave."
Sima Yan was overjoyed, hurriedly got up, and saluted Cao Chao.
"Yui!!"
Sima Yan was happy at the moment, but everyone's faces were a little strange.
I don't have this official position at all!!
This official position was made by Liu Bei, well, it was held by Zhuge Liang.
What kind of military advisor is this Sima Yan? Give it back to a military division lieutenant general??
Cao Chao was considerate, and in his plan to inherit the general's legacy, Sima You and Sima Yan were the top priorities.
At this moment, Sima Zhao is not in the city, and using Sima Yan can be a good way to win over Sima Zhao's forces, and can balance the other group of Sima family's people led by Sima Fu.
As for whether this official position Dawei has or not, it will be there from today.
Sima Yan happily left the Taiji Palace.
Cao Chao finally looked at Zheng Xiaotong.
"Duke Zheng, I would like to ask you to go to Shangshutai and inform the ministers of the turmoil in the palace, and tell them that these people have been imprisoned, and let them come to the court to discuss the next disposition."
Zheng Xiaotong was slightly surprised.
Cao Chao is among the three of Huabiao, Pei Xiu, and Zheng Xiaotong, who chose Zheng Xiaotong, Huabiao's courage is not enough, it is difficult to say whether he dares to confront the ministers after going out, Pei Xiu as long as he goes out, he is afraid that he will be convinced, and run naked, Zheng Xiaotong still seems to be a little bold at present, and Cao Chao is not afraid that the other party will leak secrets, anyway, there are no secrets at all.
Now I sent people to Shangshutai just to inform the minister of the real situation to the minister in Tainai.
When the news arrives at Shangshutai, the three old men may find a way to hide it.
Don't let the rest know what's really going on.
In Shangshutai, there are not only those traitors, but also Cao Chao's own people, and many people's positions are still biased towards Cao Chao's side.
Cao Chao naturally needs to inform them that his situation here is good, and it is not as the ministers think, and he has no power to fight back.
Zheng Xiaotong nodded, "The minister is willing to go." ”
"Hey, don't worry, there are still many things to watch out for these traitors, and listen to me tell me slowly"
And Zhang Hua is already sitting in Zhong Yu's mansion at this moment.
Zhong Yu listened to Zhang Hua's words, but he was smiling and not panicked.
Zhong Yu also just learned about the behavior of the ministers.
After knowing these things, Zhong Yu's first reaction was to want to drink to celebrate.
He was so happy.
Since the death of the general, many henchmen have offered different strategies to Sima Zhao, among which Du Pre and others believe that they should join forces with the emperor to deal with the ministers.
But Zhong Yu's idea was completely different, he thought that Sima Zhao should stay away from the temple.
This is not to help Sima Zhao subdue the generals outside, but just to let the ministers fight with the emperor with peace of mind.
Zhong Yu knew early on that this emperor was not easy to provoke, and he believed that the emperor's threat was higher than that of his ministers, but Sima Zhao did not approve of it.
It's just a puppet emperor, if we can push him up, we can naturally push him down.
Zhong Yu has always wanted to cause a fight between the two sides, and he stopped Wang Xiang before, just to release a message to the ministers, and then let the emperor go, then the emperor will join forces with him, and he also pushed this matter directly to his younger brother.
The two brothers, who loved each other, changed the situation in Great Wei.
Zhong Yu has been suppressing the forces on Sima Zhao's side, just to create opportunities for the ministers, and to see the two sides merge.
Finally, the ministers still made a move.
These ministers are okay with casual drinking, but they are not good at doing things, look at their operation, it is rough and makes people laugh.
Do they really think that the emperor is so easy to deal with?
At the beginning, the great general was able to do the abolition of the establishment, and these people felt that they could do it.
They have completely substituted themselves into the role of the general, oh no, in their perception, the general is defeated by them, therefore, their strength is higher than that of the general.
What kind of person is the emperor, who can obediently let you be imprisoned and then abolished?
I'm afraid that there is a big problem in the palace at this moment.
Well, very good, next, if the emperor kills the minister, General Nawei will call on the great clans of the world to march into Luoyang under the pretext of pacifying the temple.
With the strength of the foreign generals in various places, even if the emperor has part of the Chinese army and Biqiu Jian, he can't beat it.
If the ministers killed the emperor, General Wei called on the foreign generals of the world to enter Luoyang under the pretext of the Qing monarch's side.
Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, no loss!
The harder these people fight, the better, and the fiercer they fight, the better.
Anyway, the situation in the world is not something that a few people can shake, and the ministers are only representatives of the family, but not the strength of the entire family.
Zhong Yu calmly took a sip of tea and looked at Zhang Hua in front of him.
