Sima Zhao is like a girl from a good family who was forced to sell herself at the moment.

His face was complex, with despair, fear, and embarrassment.

He was pulled in front of the ministers by Cao Chao, and when he met the eyes of the ministers, he just lowered his head and couldn't say a word.

Cao Chao was very enthusiastic, and immediately announced the reward for the Hebei counterinsurgency army, and then pulled Sima Zhao to talk to several ministers.

"Xun Gong, after I left, how is the situation in the temple?"

Xun Yi hurriedly squeezed out a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, everything is fine." ”

"That's good, the rebellion in Hebei has also been quelled, and I don't have anything to worry about now."

Cao Chao followed the ministers to talk, and then entered the Luoyang City.

got into the car again, all the way to the palace, and Cao Chao simply held a court meeting in the Taiji Palace.

This is the second time that Cao Chao has convened a court meeting.

Sima Zhao was sitting among the ministers at the moment, and many generals had also arrived.

Cao Chao sat on the top seat, his expression was very mighty, and the ministers sat on both sides, respectful.

Now, Cao Chao can finally raise his head and say that he has defeated the Sima family.

Although there is still a long time before the final victory, from today on, he no longer has to worry about the life of fear, he has overcome the seemingly unshakable mountain, and has become a veritable son of heaven of Cao Wei.

Cao Chao immediately announced several edicts to reward the meritorious soldiers this time.

Immediately, it was to reward He Zeng and Chen Ben for their ascension to the temple.

He Zeng was rearranged into Shangshutai, while Chen Ben was directly arranged in Zhongshutai.

It was Yanghu who took over the position of General Zhenbei.

The general of the expedition to the north has not yet been established.

Listening to these transfers, the ministers were very dissatisfied with the behavior of those two people jumping out of thin air to compete for Shangshu and Zhongshu, but they were also helpless.

On the contrary, they didn't have much opinion on Yanghu's appointment as the general of Zhenbei.

Cao Chao knew that after today's appointment, the tolerance of the temple ministers to himself has probably reached an extreme, if there is one person to take the lead, then he will face a situation like Sima Shi next.

The ministers have been holding the personnel power for a long time, and they have repeatedly skipped the ministers to appoint them and directly announced the results, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of many ministers.

Cao Chao said solemnly: "Because of the traitor Gao Rou's matter, there are many vacancies in the temple, Xun Gong, Shang Shutai should do his best to come up with a list of officials who can be appointed as soon as possible to make up for these positions as soon as possible!" ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Xun Yi's eyes lit up, and for some reason, his heart was very moved.

It's not easy, the emperor finally remembered that he had to ask us about these things.

The ministers looked at each other a few times at this moment, well, let's wait a little longer for the matter of joining forces to write the book, and wait until the appointment is completed.

At this time, Tingwei Chen Qian suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!"

"Oh?"

"What's the matter?"

The ministers suddenly became nervous, is Wang Xiang's matter finally going to be said in the court?

They hurriedly prepared for it.

Chen Qian opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister previously accepted the impeachment case of Lu Xun. ”

"After sending someone to investigate, I learned that Lu Xun was bribed and framed Tingwei, and in his mansion, he found a lot of beautiful women and a lot of money, and he couldn't tell where he came from."

"After interrogating his house slave, I learned that this person colluded with the old captain Feng Zhen and came to frame Ting Wei!"

"The minister has already sent someone to take down Feng Zhen, and he has already admitted his actions! He also has many comrades, these people were deposed because of Gao Rou's affairs, so they have bad intentions and bribed Lu Xun to frame Tingwei, in a vain attempt to do evil! ”

Chen Qian spoke quickly, and at the same time took out many charges from his body.

At this moment, the ministers were stunned again.

Whether it is the emperor or Chen Qian, they always seem to play cards not according to the routine, everyone thinks that Chen Qian is busy with Wang Su's affairs, but they didn't expect that he has been investigating Lu Xun's affairs in secret.

If Chen Qian hadn't mentioned it himself, the ministers would have almost forgotten about it.

Cao Chao frowned, looked at the accusations, and said angrily: "These people have broken the law, it is really hateful! The court lieutenant can be dealt with according to the law! ”

"Yui!!"

Chen Qian received the order.

The ministers really didn't find an excuse to fight back, and some ministers Yuan Liang couldn't help but say at this moment: "Your Majesty! The minister thought that since someone sued Tingwei, he should let Yushitai deal with it, how could he let Tingwei deal with it himself? ”

"I'm afraid that it will cause criticism from people all over the world, then Feng Zhen is a hero, and Lu Xun is a celebrity."

Cao Chao did not refuse, and looked at Zheng Chong.

"Gong Zheng, then I'll bother you to solve this matter."

Me again??

Zheng Chong was silent for a moment before he got up to receive the order.

Yuan Liang is the son of the minister Yuan Ba, he is a famous Confucian in the world, served as Henan Yin, and later entered Shangshutai, he is a very low-key person on weekdays, but for some reason, he is so anxious to jump out at this moment.

Cao Chao was thoughtful, but he didn't break it.

Immediately, Cao Chao talked about the theme of this court meeting.

Jiang Wei is here!!

Sure enough, when they learned that Jiang Wei was attacking again, even these intriguing ministers united in an instant, scolded Jiang Wei one after another, and then began to discuss how to repel Jiang Wei's attack.

Cao Chao said very seriously: "In the past, Jiang Wei attacked again and again, and we only defended passively, because we didn't want to cause too many casualties, but this person repeatedly committed, obviously he didn't take Dawei in his eyes!" ”

"I will never let him leave calmly this time!!"

"General Sima and Gong Chen have already delayed him in the border stopper, and I am ready to go to Chang'an in person to launch an attack with the Chinese army, so that Jiang Wei will not dare to attack easily!!"

"It's long overdue!"

Xiahou Xian immediately got up and expressed his absolute support.

Many generals in the DPRK and China are also eager to try, and they all want to make meritorious contributions.

But Wenchen's face was a little ugly.

Cao Wei's ministers are very noble, how noble are they? They are all a bunch of pacifists.

Under the premise that Cao Wei had an absolute advantage over Shu and Wu, the ministers have always been very opposed to taking the initiative, and even opposing wars of conquest.

Sima Zhao wanted to send troops to Shu, but he encountered the opposition of the Manchu civil and military forces.

Later, Sima Yan wanted to send troops to Wu, even more so.

As soon as we ask, we should discuss in detail what we should not act rashly about, and what we say about war is the most important thing.

Sure enough, just as Cao Chao thought, as soon as Cao Chao opened his mouth, the ministers stood up one after another to oppose it.

The wave of opposition was so great that almost all the ministers except the general chose to oppose it, even including Cao Chao's own henchmen.

The ministers agreed to repel Jiang Wei, but they did not approve of the use of troops against Shu.

When the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were all on the opposing side, not to mention Cao Chao, even if Sima Shi came, there was no way.

Cao Chao suddenly realized Sima Zhao's mood later, and he was not in a hurry to get the ministers to agree, so he ended the court meeting in the name of continuing the negotiations.

When the court meeting ended, Pei Xiu walked out of the palace with an expressionless face.

The young emperor wanted to establish his authority through Jiang Wei, and he also wanted to control Yongliang's army.

Now that the emperor's power is getting bigger and bigger, and he has just defeated Sima Zhao and subdued the Hebei army, the ministers will soon be able to understand that with the emperor's sharpness at the moment, it is really hard to say whether the ministers can stop him.

Just when Pei Xiu sighed, someone suddenly blocked in front of Pei Xiu.

"Hahaha, Ji Yan."

The person standing in front of Pei Xiu was Guo Zhang.

When Pei Xiu saw him, he also bowed down.

Pei Xiu and Zhong Hui are relatives, he and Guo Zhang are also relatives, and his wife is Taiyuan Guo, that is, the daughter of Guo Huai's younger brother Guo Pei, and he and Guo Zhang are veritable in-laws.

Guo Zhang took his hand and said very enthusiastically: "I haven't visited your house for a long time, why don't we go for a walk together today?" ”

Facing relatives, Pei Xiu did not resist, and the two walked all the way.

Guo Zhang first talked about some common words, and when there were not so many outsiders around him, Guo Zhangfang said: "Ji Yan, Your Majesty has also reached the age of studying, and he has begun to govern himself, but he has no family, and the ministers think that something is wrong." ”

"We are all worried about Your Majesty, how can there be no one around Your Majesty to take care of you?"

"You see, there is a daughter in my clan, who is about the same age as His Majesty, and is virtuous, I have the heart to give this daughter to Your Majesty You are Your Majesty's confidant, do you think this matter can be done?"

Pei Xiu glanced at him and asked, "Is it because of Sima Zhao's return?" ”

Guo Zhang's words were stopped, and he hurriedly explained: "The ministers are like this, but I'm not, I've had such thoughts for a long time, besides, we are all relatives, this matter is not a bad thing for us, we can all profit."

Pei Xiu said seriously: "I see, your idea is very good, but you said it a little late." ”

"Huh?? What does Ji Yan mean? ”

"Your Majesty's family, there is already a candidate."

"You mean the woman of the Sima family? This is not in line with etiquette!! ”

Pei Xiu hurriedly shook his head, "That's not the case, it's not the woman of the Sima family." ”

Guo Zhang was furious, "Whose woman is that?!" Who the hell is it? How quickly did you start? Do you want to be promoted through your daughter? How shameless?! ”

"It's my family."

"Yes"

"Ji Yan? Don't be a joke. ”

Guo Zhang's face suddenly turned cold.

Pei Xiu said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are all relatives, and the women of my family have a family with Your Majesty, which is not a bad thing for us, we can all profit." ”

Guo Zhangleng snorted, waved his sleeves, and turned around and left here.

Pei Xiu watched the other party leave with a smile, and then shook his head disdainfully.

What for the sake of His Majesty, what relatives, a bunch of selfish villains.

However, what Guo Zhang said about this matter really cannot be taken lightly.

You must inform Your Majesty as soon as possible.
