Chapter 16: Don't Do It Yourself
"Meet Your Majesty!!"
Zheng Xiaotong was about to bow and bow, but Cao Chao hurriedly helped him up.
"You don't have to."
Zheng Xian took the initiative to bow and greet her.
Zheng Xiaotong led the two into the main hall, Zheng Xiaotong asked the emperor to sit on the throne, but Cao Chao insisted on letting Zheng Xiaotong sit on the grounds of elders.
Zheng Xiaotong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, according to the etiquette law, except for the Queen Mother, no one can sit on the top seat in front of Your Majesty." ”
Cao Chao sat on the top seat at this time.
is worthy of being the grandson of the gods, look at how much people abide by the etiquette.
Regarding the sudden visit of the two, Zheng Xiaotong's heart became more and more uneasy, could it be that he came for Wang Su's matter?
But don't let yourself be involved!
Zheng Xiaotong was raised by Zheng Xuan himself.
However, at Zheng Xuan's level, in fact, when it comes to educating children, it is not so strict.
He likes this grandson very much, respects his grandson's choice, and will not force him to inherit his knowledge.
Zheng Xuan is a very good educator, and he plays perfectly in teaching according to his aptitude and teaching without class.
Cao Chao was wrong with his father-in-law first, and it should be his father-in-law who greeted him.
Previously, Zheng Xiaotong went to various places with festivals to deal with unruly officials in the local area, and he made great contributions.
After returning from the local area, Zheng Xiaotong was in the palace and rarely went to the palace.
In fact, this is not right, the servant is the head of the ministers, and the most important job is to accompany the emperor, give advice to the emperor, and solve the troubles encountered by the emperor.
Zhong Hui did such an errand, which is also the reason why a criminal department scholar can freely enter and leave the palace every day.
If it is another Shangshu, unless there is a major event, it will not be able to appear with the emperor.
Zheng Xiaotong is a little unworthy of his name.
Cao Chao greeted him warmly for a long time.
"Gong Zheng, look at this Wang Situ"
Zheng Xiaotong's last reluctant words still appeared.
But Zheng Xiaotong said very toughly at this moment: "Your Majesty, Wang Situ Gong is also a master of scripture, and I also know his classic attainments, but his scripture has gone on a crooked path!" ”
Zheng Xiaotong actually didn't know what Wang Su's recent annotations were.
But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that he has gone astray, and if he has not gone astray, then his family biography has gone astray.
Cao Chao was a little surprised.
No, Wang Su didn't criticize Zheng Xue this time, his annotation this time, anything can be included, and it won't easily offend any faction, it's not that your knowledge is not good, it's that the generation is wrong, and it can be solved in one sentence.
How can you say that the other person has gone astray as soon as you open your mouth?
At this moment, Cao Chao glanced at Zheng Xian again.
My heart suddenly became clear.
Cao Chao nodded.
"I don't dare to speak easily about the things I learned."
"It's just that in the near future, when I learned about the dispute between Wang Xue and Zheng Xue, I heard from the moral ministers in the court that the reason why Zheng Xue fell into disadvantage is because you are too busy with your affairs to find time to debate with them."
Zheng Xiaotong complained in his heart, which immoral person said this??
Cao Chao said: "I want you to serve as the Shaofu, there is nothing to do in Jiuqing today, and the affairs of the Shaofu are also done by Shang Shutai, you can also rest assured to govern the classics, what do you think?" ”
Zheng Xiao agreed that it was very bad, but the emperor said that it was okay.
Can he still object?
He hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Cao Chao encouraged a few more words, and finally said: "At the beginning, the Jingshen Gong blended ancient and modern texts, so that many schools of thought were less competitive, and now the prince wants to combine Confucianism and metaphysics, and his thoughts are the same. ”
"Actually, you can talk to him about it calmly."
Cao Chao also showed him the way.
Cao Chao has already seen that this grandson of the god of the scriptures, it seems that the classic attainments are indeed not high, anyway, there is no way to fight with Wang Su, and like Zhuge Zhan, he is affected by the prestige of his father and ancestors.
Wang Su's current idea is to integrate many schools, and at this time, presumably he will not want to set off a dispute between the ancient and the modern.
The two sides may have something in common.
After throwing this person into the pension group, Cao Chao's next consideration was Lu Qin's appointment.
After Cao Chao returned to the Taiji Palace, he did not indulge in Zheng Xian's side, but directly ordered to summon Lu Qin.
Luchin was ordered to come, but the interest was not high.
At the beginning, he was forcibly left by the emperor, saying that he was sorry for the people of Hebei if he left.
But when he stayed, he was coaxed by Cao Chao again and again.
Cao Chao painted cakes for him several times, saying that he wanted to arrange for him to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Then turned around and Pei Xiu came up.
Later, he said that he would arrange for him to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and as soon as he turned around, he asked Du Pre to come up.
After that, he said that he would let him enter the Imperial Observatory, and then turned around and let Biqiudian in.
By now, Lu Qin's heart has been undisturbed.
Whatever, wouldn't it be nice to be a freer?
Your Majesty doesn't summon you all day, just stay at home and read some books or something.
When he learned that the emperor had summoned him, Lu Qin had already subconsciously felt that His Majesty was ready to paint cakes for him again.
Sure enough, as soon as they met, Cao Chao spoke first: "Xun Servant was worshiped as a servant, and now Shangshutai lacks a servant." ”
Luchin's eyes lit up.
"I'm going to make the bell go up."
Lu Qin was a little stunned, he didn't even draw a cake this time, you called me here to say this??
"But the place of the bell meeting is vacant."
Luchin's eyes lit up.
"I'm going to let Wei Shu take it."
Luchin was completely calm, "That's how it should be. ”
Cao Chao said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted you to enter Shangshutai, but the government affairs in this Shangshutai are really busy, and I can't bear to let you work so tired, so I arrange for most young students." ”
Luchin did not refute.
Cao Chao said with a smile: "Therefore, I am ready to let you serve as a servant, and from now on I will stay by my side, for my arms, for my worries, I don't know what Lu Qing thinks?" ”
Unlike Zheng Xiaotong, Lu Qin's intentions are very good.
He didn't do anything like that, he couldn't do anything, and if he could be promoted, it would be different.
He had to participate in many major events in the temple.
But this can't be another pie, right?
In the end, there won't be another person, right?
Luchin, though unsure, accepted his order.
Cao Chao's next behavior proved that he was not painting cakes, and he immediately drafted an edict.
Now the transfer of the overall officials of the Great Wei has become a lot more formalized, after arguing with Xun Yi and others in the past, Zhong Hui combined the past system to come up with a more comprehensive set of promotion methods, mainly combined with the officials' political performance, as well as age, place of origin and other content.
In the past, the law was aimed at officials such as taishou and not allowed to serve as presiding officials in their own place of origin or the place of origin of the marriage, but Zhonghui made it more harsh, and it was no longer allowed from the county officials to the top.
In other words, there will no longer be a situation in Great Wei where the Yuancheng County Order is served by the local clan.
And the emperor is not within the constraints of this system, and in ancient times, even the strictest and most elaborate laws did not dare to include the emperor.
If a prince breaks the law, he can be guilty of the same crime as the common people, but there is no such thing as the Son of Heaven breaking the law, and the meaning of the existence of the law is to serve the Son of Heaven.
At the beginning, when Cao Chao was not powerful enough, he could still be restrained, but now, it is impossible.
If the emperor wants to employ people, he can jump out of this restriction.
Of course, if it is too outrageous, such as directly promoting Zhong Hui to be a scholar, or promoting Zhang Hua to be a scholar or something, it will definitely suffer great opposition from the ministers.
But Cao Chao's transfers are not exceptional.
The person he promoted the most out of the ordinary is Zhong Hui, but Zhong Hui's ability is here, and he has a lot of credit, official assessment, official rectification, official promotion, Da Wei can complete the official rectification, he accounts for at least half of the credit, who dares to say that he is not worthy of the name?
And the transfer of the rest of the ministers is reasonable, even if it is He Zeng's Sikong, it is also very reasonable, he came up from the general of Zhengbei, and it is strange that he entered the temple from the general of Zhengbei and did not serve as the third duke.
Luchin accepted this fact with astonishment.
Cao Chao immediately let the newly appointed attendant sit beside him.
"Lu Qing, I know that you are also a family heirloom, what does Qing think about Wang Xue?"
Lu Qin immediately said: "Your Majesty, the prince is a great talent, and his doctrine should be set up as one of the official schools and promoted as much as possible. ”
"Okay, the next recital of the classics will be consulted by you first, if it is of great importance, you can play it and inform it."
The cabinet system is equivalent to Cao Chao's secretary group, these people participate in decision-making, that is, they are responsible for helping the emperor review the recitals and all kinds of miscellaneous matters in various places.
Lu Qin is upright and impartial, which is why Cao Chao promoted him.
Cao Chao's administrative system has become a little stronger, and at present, the Shizhongtai and Shangshutai are already very perfect, and there is no need to make too many transfers in a short period of time.
Wei and Jin are just so good, these three cooperate with each other, the emperor will not be so tired, and he doesn't need to do everything himself.
Cao Chao has brought the best and most outstanding talents into the temple administrative system, and now this configuration, as long as it is peaceful development, Dawei is definitely stronger than a year, which is the benefit of abundant talents.
Now running at full speed, Shangshutai has begun to make breakthroughs in various fields such as agriculture, industry, and commerce.
Each Shangshu is not a mediocre person, and they are also competing with each other, wanting to come up with some results.
What Cao Chao has to do at this moment is not to interfere indiscriminately, but to support them and let them give full play to their talents.
If this continues, the gap in national strength between the Great Wei and the other two countries will become wider and wider.
Cao Chao could also look at the two distant countries and start thinking about the war of annihilation against them.
