"Your Majesty? This is? ”

"Haha, Prince, you have come from afar, naturally you should still meet your family, although I miss it, I am not in a hurry to disturb, and wait for you to get along with your family for a few days, and then come to find me."

Cao Chao drove the carriage directly to the General's Mansion and let Wang Su get off here.

Looking at Cao Chao's smiling face, Wang Su always felt a little uneasy.

Wang Kai was about to say something, but Cao Chao left here directly.

Wang Kai was very unhappy and said, "How rude is Your Majesty to you? ”

Wang Su glanced at his youngest son deeply, there is still urgent things to do now, and when I am done, I will tell you what rudeness is.

Wang Su walked into the General's Mansion with his son, Sima Yan and Sima You soon came out to greet them, they didn't expect the grandfather to come suddenly, Sima Yan's eyes were red, he took his grandfather's hand, and Wang Su was very close, but Sima You was standing not far away, with his head down, looking very respectful, but he was not very cordial to Wang Su and others.

In terms of the judgment standards of scholars, Sima You's performance is obviously better, after all, his behavior is courteous, and he does not "hold favor and debauchery" when he meets his elders.

From the perspective of their families, Wang Su and Wang Kai both like Sima Yan, and they can't say that they dislike Sima You, but they are not as close as Sima Yan.

Sima Yan is still a person who attaches great importance to feelings, he often protects his relatives, and many people talk about his unfair treatment of Sima You, thinking that he doesn't pay attention to these, but if he is compared with a certain Emperor Wen who was also threatened by his younger brother, then Sima Yan is too gentle to his younger brother!

First of all, after Sima You was crowned King of Qi, he was never tossed around.

As a prince, he became a hussar general, the opening of the palace and the three divisions, and also retained the personal armed forces of thousands of people.

More than half of the ministers in the central government openly supported Sima You's succession to the throne, and later dared to openly support Sima You after Sima Yan was officially proclaimed emperor.

And Sima Youchang was in Luoyang, served as a general, a secretary, and a servant.

It can be said that these things above would have happened to other emperors, Sima You would definitely not have just died of grief and anger In the end, Jia Chong and others continued to advise Sima Yan, making Sima Yan suspicious, and then ordered his younger brother to return to Qi.

But it is not to remove Sima You and make him a pure prince.

Sima Yan issued an edict to let his younger brother return to Qi State, serve as the Great Sima, and supervise the military of Qingzhou.

Sima You was reluctant to leave, saying that he would guard his mother's tomb, and more than a dozen important ministers of the temple wrote to refute Sima Yan, asking him not to drive King Qi out of the temple.

To be honest, Sima Yan is really generous, to this point, he just dismissed those ministers who wrote the book, which is to be replaced by a certain Emperor Wen, it is estimated that there will be a river of blood

Sima You's talent is extremely outstanding, quite the style of Sima Shi's successor, and Sima Yan's personality is more simple, he is not very famous like his younger brother, but he treats friends and relatives very well.

In Wang Su's view, Sima You is a capable grandson, and Sima Yan is a well-behaved grandson.

"Take me to your mother!"

Wang Su had countless doubts in his heart at the moment, and he didn't care about saying anything to Sima Yan, and when he saw Wang Yuanji, Wang Su breathed a sigh of relief, his daughter and grandson were fine.

Wang Su immediately ordered everyone to go out and asked Wang Yuanji about what happened in the temple alone.

At the same time, Cao Chao's carriage did not return to the palace, but came to the west of Luoyang, where Wang Xiang's mansion was located.

Wang Xiang was deposed as an official, but he was not arrested and put in the Tingwei prison, but this did not mean that he was completely free, and Cao Chao still sent someone to take care of him.

Inside and outside his mansion, there were a large number of armorers to keep an eye on them.

When Cao Chao arrived, the soldiers hurriedly got out of the way, and Wang Xiang also learned the news and came out to greet him in person.

At this moment, Wang Xiang seems to be extraordinarily sincere, and when facing the emperor, the fear, guilt, and uneasiness on his face are too real.

Cao Chao looked at such excellent acting skills, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that he still has a lot to learn.

"Your Majesty!!"

"Teacher, don't be polite, I came here this time because I have something important, let's go in and talk about it."

The two walked into the inner room, and Cao Chao asked the armorers to wait outside the door.

Immediately, the two sat facing each other.

Cao Chao didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Teacher, Wang Su has returned to Luoyang." ”

A hint of uneasiness flashed in Wang Xiang's eyes.

He knew early on that Wang Su would be a restless factor, but at that time, in order to get the position of Taichang as soon as possible and start a new era of his own, Wang Xiang could only ignore Wang Su for the time being, speed up the process, and take Wang Su's academic achievements.

In Wang Xiang's opinion at that time, after he took power, as long as he could give the other party a certain amount of compensation, Wang Su would not dare to completely tear his face with himself.

But things are clearly a little different now.

He is now a criminal minister, he has nothing, and the ministers will never dare to continue to support him, if Wang Su comes to the door at this moment, Wang Xiang is afraid that he will be ruined from now on.

Wang Xiang is not afraid of death, but this reputation is very important.

If his reputation is bad, it will affect the entire clan, and in the world of the great clan where the inheritance of the scriptures is the foundation, his behavior will definitely cause public anger and cause his entire family to be despised from now on.

This is more serious than killing Wang Xiang.

"What can Your Majesty do for you?"

Wang Xiang is no longer playing at the moment, and he directly asked about Cao Chao's conditions.

He didn't have any deep hatred with his disciples, and the disciples couldn't deliberately find Wang Su to ruin his reputation, which didn't do Cao Chao any good.

At this moment, he came to him and told him about it, which means that things are still turning around, and maybe he is of some use to him.

Cao Chao laughed, he likes to deal with such smart people.

Disguise when you need to disguise, and be honest when you should be honest.

The reason why Cao Chao wanted to keep Wang Xiang was actually for the sake of learning.

Nowadays, there is a very serious problem, the highest theoretical knowledge at present, that is, the scriptures, is in the hands of the family, if you want to climb to the position of two thousand stones, you have to learn the classics, not the family, there is no such condition, unless you become a protégé of the family.

Wang Su now accuses Wang Xianglai of plagiarizing his own classics.

In this matter, Cao Chao can make a big fuss.

Through the struggle between these two people, the right to interpret the classics was drawn, and then the right to interpret the classics was taken back into the hands of the temple.

To put it more simply, the temple has the power to choose official learning, and the temple can designate a certain canon to become an official learning, and recruit officials through this learning.

In the past, because of the matter of official learning, the Eastern Han Dynasty set off a huge dispute between ancient and modern literature.

By the Wei and Jin dynasties, this kind of academic dispute was much weaker, as the dominance of the ritual classics began to decline.

Cao Chao wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to try to break the knowledge monopoly of the family.

Wang Xiang can ask directly, but Cao Chao can't say it directly.

For this teacher, Cao Chao does not dare to take it lightly, although the other party has nothing now, but among the ministers, his threat is still the greatest, that is, Gao Rou and these people drag him back, if he comes to serve as Situ and is fully responsible for the temple battle, Cao Chao may really suffer a big loss.

Cao Chao said solemnly: "Teacher, I came to you this time just to ask, did you really steal the prince's knowledge?" ”

Wang Xiang was stunned, don't you know if I stole it or not? ?

But he reacted quickly and hurriedly shook his head, "Your Majesty!" Never! The Taixuan Sutra is not the property of the prince alone, but was written by the sages of the past, is it that in this world, only he is qualified to comment on the Taixuan? If someone else does this, he will be accused of stealing, what is the reason? ”

"The old minister has never had anything to do with him, so how can he steal his knowledge?"

"Although I respect the prince very much, he treats the books of the sages that have been passed down to this day as his own personal property, and does not allow others to annotate and read them, in my opinion, this is a very excessive behavior and disrespect to the sages!"

"If it is according to him, then this "Spring and Autumn" and "Analects" and other books, is there no one to study and annotate except the Confucian family?"

"Then the Taixuan Sutra should also be studied by the Yang family, how can the prince annotate it?"

Wang Xiang quickly began to refute.

Cao Chao smiled again, that's right, that's what he wanted.

In the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, how to become a real gate valve?

The most fundamental condition is that you have the final right to interpret a certain classic.

For example, Xun Yi, why did Xun Yi dare to reprimand Zhong Hui for studying Yi without even knowing the most basic knowledge? And Zhong Hui didn't dare to refute it at all?

This is the role of the final interpretation power, how to annotate the classics, how to break sentences, how to understand, the inheritors can decide, then the rest of the people can only listen to them.

Through this supreme power of interpretation, they can monopolize knowledge and officials, absorb a large number of elites from civilian backgrounds, turn them into their own protégés, and then become a behemoth, so that no one dares to attack them easily.

Cao Chao didn't like this situation very much, either let himself get the highest right of interpretation, or destroy the highest right of interpretation in the hands of this big family.

Passed down from generation to generation, right?

I let you serve as a servant on your behalf!

Wang Xiang looked at the smile on the emperor's face, suddenly realized something, and his face changed greatly.

"Your Majesty, although the truth is so, but my knowledge is not comparable to the prince, the prince's family classics, the great Confucian, I did not steal his knowledge, but I never dare to say that he is not worthy of commenting on the classics, the prince's talent, is known to everyone in the world."

"Your Majesty is still young, this governance of the world, is based on the classics, if the classics are broken because of this matter, it will make the temple turbulent, the scholars are terrified, it is really not conducive to the world!"
