"Pei Xiu! Come out! ”

The armor soldier dragged Pei Xiu out of the prison very rudely and walked out.

At this moment, the unkempt Pei Xiu finally lost his mind.

He was a little scared, but he didn't show it, just slowly closed his eyes.

My life is at stake.

Pei Xiu was taken out, and the soldiers took him for a long time, went around in a circle, and finally brought him into He Zeng's usual office.

When Pei Xiu was pushed in, the person sitting on the top was not He Zeng, but Emperor Cao Chao.

Seeing Cao Chao appear here, Pei Xiu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed to see him.

Cao Chao looked at Pei Xiu, who had lost the style of the famous man in the past, but his face was not very good-looking.

"Pei Qing, Shangshutai said that you rebelled, what's going on?"

Pei Xiu was about to reprimand the ministers of Yushitai, but he reacted suddenly, and changed his words and said: "Surrender is scattered, and he neglects government affairs, so he is mistaken for suspicion." ”

"Serve it away."

Cao Chao glanced at him, "It seems that I have issued a new law before, and officials are not allowed to drink and disperse, right?" ”

Pei Xiu lowered his head, "That's right." ”

"Then you, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are you here to implement the new laws of the temple?!"

"The minister is guilty! In the future, the minister will never touch these things again!! ”

Cao Chao said solemnly: "If you feel tired, you can tell me that I will allow you to rest, but why should you be discontinued?" The officials of the temple, every move is to be imitated by the officials of the world"

Hearing this, Pei Xiu unconsciously glanced at He Zeng, who was standing beside the emperor.

If you want to emulate him, is it more dangerous to emulate him?

Of course, Pei Xiu didn't dare to ask this sentence in person.

Cao Chao reprimanded him harshly before letting him go in the bath and change out of his clothes.

When Pei Xiu came out again, the whole person took on a new look.

Cao Chao motioned for him to sit beside him.

Of course, Cao Chao didn't want to kill Pei Xiu, he just wanted to help Pei Xiu quit dispersing.

Pei Xiu in history died in the matter of dispersion, which was both for the sake of the society and for himself.

Originally, Cao Chao wanted to intimidate Pei Xiu a few more times, but after all, he was his own henchman, and Cao Chao didn't want to do too much, just let him have a long memory, if he still did this in the future, he wouldn't let it go easily.

Pei Xiu thought back to her treatment in the past few days, and she was full of emotion.

Cao Chao said: "The obscenity of the people has reached the point where it cannot be cured. ”

"The rise of metaphysics, scholars are superstitious about ghosts and gods, I have heard that there are even local officials who use the divination of the I Ching to determine government affairs!!"

"Ridiculous!!"

"Since you are in charge of the Ministry of Rites, you have to do these things well, if you can't do it, I will let He Gong help you do it!"

Pei Xiu was shocked.

After Liu Xiu, metaphysical thought began to flourish, reaching its peak during the Wei and Jin dynasties.

How outrageous was the superstition of the Wei and Jin dynasties?

Said Ruan Xian's son Ruan Zhan did not believe that there were ghosts and gods in the world, and often debated with the people around him, one day, a person found him, at first the conversation was very good, and then when it came to ghosts and gods, the two quarreled, and the guest was speechless by Ruan Zhan's words, and in a fit of anger, he got up and asked: You said that there are no ghosts in the world, and the ancient sages knew that there were, but you don't know? If there are no ghosts, what am I?

Immediately, he showed his original form, which was extremely terrifying, Ruan Zhan was terrified, and soon fell ill and died.

This incident was recorded in the Book of Jin, and the Book of Jin not only recorded such a time, but also recorded things like ghosts and gods asking for their lives.

When the compiler of the Book of Jin saw these conclusive Jin Dynasty documents, he didn't know what kind of idea he had in mind to compile them.

This makes people wonder whether these historical materials are the results of the Wei and Jin historians after they were disbanded.

In fact, the superstitious color of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty was more in the reverence for the heavens, which was a kind of nature and ancestor worship, and after Sima Yi's father and son worked hard to break this feudal superstitious thought, the superstitious color of the Wei and Jin dynasties changed from the awe of the heavens to the awe and conviction of ghosts and gods.

This kind of superstition is mixed with ideas such as pure talk and inaction, creating an absurd and ridiculous era.

Cao Chao very much hopes that Pei Xiu can use the Ministry of Rites to change the atmosphere throughout the day, and he can't always change these through killing, and Pei Xiu's Ministry of Rites must also play a positive role.

Pei Xiu looked at He Zeng, who was eager to try at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty don't worry, this matter will definitely be done!" ”

Pei Xiu was naturally very scared.

He has helped himself to do things, is that an errand? When the time comes, he can't stop him, let him kill indiscriminately, and if it is spread out, it will collude with He Zeng to make trouble together, which will leave a stench for 10,000 years.

Cao Chao stared at Pei Xiu, this guy is actually very talented, but he needs to be forced a little.

He believes that if this matter is handed over to Pei Xiu, it will definitely be effective.

Soon, Pei Xiu left the Yushitai, but the matter was not over, he was fined for a year, and he liked to mention a fake word, fake Shangshu, which is similar to a temporary Shangshu, which may be replaced at any time, in other words, stay on probation.

"Your Majesty, I think Pei Jun can also understand your hard work, and he will definitely not make any big mistakes in the future."

He Zeng smiled all over his face and stood beside Cao Chao.

Cao Chao looked at him, "This year's autumn harvest is fruitful, much higher than before." ”

He Zeng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The world can be governed!! ”

"Daji?! What does it mean that so many ministers have been killed, so many officials have been dismissed, and those positions are vacant, but the food output is so much higher than the previous year?! ”

"I'm thinking now, most of the world's taxes have fallen into the hands of others!!"

"How else could this happen?!"

Cao Chao was very angry, and he was not happy in the slightest because of the tax increase, which was really sad.

"In the future, you don't just stare at the temple, the place should also send more people to check, the things in the world can't be bad in the hands of these villains!"

"Yui!!"

He Zeng lowered his head, and Cao Chao immediately left here angrily.

When Cao Chao left, He Zeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, Guo Zhi walked in cautiously, looked into the distance, and sighed.

"Your Majesty's power has been achieved, and it is really becoming more and more terrifying."

He Zeng didn't say anything about this, but just reminded: "Just do what Your Majesty ordered." ”

"Don't be afraid to offend others, in this world, as long as you don't offend the emperor, the rest of the people, anyone can offend."

Cao Chao drove towards the palace.

Zhang Hua saw that the emperor's interest was not high, so he took the initiative to talk about the topic of the place.

"Your Majesty's ability to recognize people is really the envy of the ministers, and they all say that Zheng Gong is good at understanding people, but the ministers feel that Zheng Gong is not as good as Your Majesty."

Cao Chao glanced at Zhang Hua, "Mao Xian should have less contact with He Zeng in the future." ”

Zhang Hua shook his head, "The minister is not flattering, but just amazed at the history of assassins in various places selected by His Majesty." ”

"If the autumn harvest can be successful, we still have to rely more on the history of these places, these people selected by Your Majesty are all honest and upright people, and with them sitting in the localities, the officials have converged a lot."

"After Your Majesty came into power, he first rectified the rule of officials, and now it seems that this is really right."

"Great Wei has become different in this year, whether it is a temple or a place, Your Majesty may not feel it properly in the palace, but those ministers who often go out are like this."

Zhang Hua saw that Cao Chao's face was much better, and continued to talk about more things.

Of course, he wasn't lying.

The changes in Dawei today are seen by clear-eyed people.

This also makes many people can't help but have a vision for the future, and Zhang Hua is like this.

In Zhang Hua's eyes, Da Wei was a carriage trapped in the swamp, and Cao Chao was dragging the carriage out to turn the tide.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Being alone, turning the tide, helping the world, dealing with traitorous ministers, and settling the people, this ambition really moved the ministers." ”

Cao Chao also looked at Zhang Hua at this moment.

Cao Chao didn't know what he remembered, "It also moved me." ”

Zhang Hua was stunned.

Your Majesty, is this boasting about yourself?

He also said that I should have less contact with He Zeng, and it seems that His Majesty will have to deal less with Zhonghui.

When the two returned to the palace, Jiao Bo was waiting for him.

"Your Majesty!"

"King Pengcheng is about to arrive in Luoyang, and Zheng Shizhong is by his side."

"The King of the East Sea is still on his way, and it will take about five days to arrive."

Cao Chao suddenly narrowed his eyes, Cao Zhi.

I'm finally able to see you.

Cao Ju, the king of Pengcheng, was also a strong contender for the throne at the beginning, the first choice of Sima Shi, and Cao Chao's eldest father.

Cao Ju sat in the carriage, he was thin, his face was dark, he had a thick beard, he was huddled in the carriage, his eyes were full of horror.

When he learned that the emperor wanted to see him, King Pengcheng almost cried.

The king sits at home, and woe comes from heaven.

Of course, King Pengcheng knew very well what the emperor was looking for him, and he had taken the position with him at the beginning.

Thinking of the power struggle between his brothers, Cao Ju was so frightened that his legs trembled.

Cao Ju is Cao Cao's son, and he has been the focus of the attack since Cao Pi's meeting, and he has been hit until now, but he didn't expect to be pulled out again this time.

It's not that I want to be the emperor, it's Sima Shi's own choice, why do you want me to come to Luoyang?

It was under this panic that Cao Ju finally met the emperor.

Cao Chao stood in the distance with a smile, that look, that temperament, that look, that look, Cao Ji stumbled, and almost fell to the ground, Cao Chao hurriedly helped him up.

"King Pengcheng, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty looks like Emperor Wen, and the ministers are out of shape, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!!"

"No problem, no problem!"

Cao Chao helped him, his eyes full of gentleness.

"I have always heard of the wisdom of King Pengcheng, and I know that you are talented and martial, and you are a moral elder in the clan!"

Hearing this, Cao Ji was terrified and hurriedly shouted:

"Your Majesty!! These are all rumors!! ”
