In these days, Cao Chao took turns to meet all the ministers in Shangshutai.

Except for Du Yu and Chen Qian, who left with him, the rest of them basically touched once.

It can be said that they are still doing a very good job.

Anyway, Cao Chao didn't find anything that dissatisfied him, they were all quite diligent, and they all had good results.

The only dissatisfaction is probably the public land issue.

However, this can also be addressed later.

After meeting with the ministers of Shangshutai, Cao Chao also had to meet the three princes and nine secretaries.

During the period of Cao Chao's absence, Wang Su's scriptures were a good result, and Wang Su gave several lectures and gave away several books of his own.

Immediately, the ministers demanded that the books be placed in the libraries of various places.

Wang Su pulled repeatedly, and finally agreed as a last resort.

After these books compiled by Wang Su came out, they aroused competition among everyone, whether they were children of big clans or from poor families, they all chased after Wang Su's books.

And the fall of Shu seems to have proved the correctness of Wang Su's doctrine.

Many people associate the demise of Shu with Wang Xue, and the gold content of Wang Xue has been improved again.

As a big man who is proficient in Confucianism and metaphysics, Wang Su will not be cowardly to anyone no matter what he faces.

He is not afraid that others will refute his learning, he is afraid that others will not come!

Wang Su sat next to Cao Chao and talked proudly about his behavior in these days.

But Cao Chao was a little worried.

Because, Wang Su's health at the moment is not very good.

He was thinner than before, and although he was very energetic, he looked a little tired after just a few words.

Cao Chao opened his mouth and said: "Situ Gong, I know your merits, these days, it is better to rest in the mansion, don't go out"

"Let Huangfu Mi take care of your body, academic matters, just leave it to your cronies."

Wang Su also felt that he could do it, he firmly believed in Fang Shi's words, and felt that he would live a very long life.

But Cao Chao didn't dare to let him do it anymore, if something happened to him now, there would be no way to continue to advance this academic problem.

Seeing that the emperor was so resolute, Wang Su had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing everyone take Wang Su away, Zhang Hua said: "The prince may not be really sick. ”

Cao Chao glanced at Zhang Hua, "What do you mean?" ”

"Sima Zhao."

"Your Majesty wants to investigate the fault of the Sima family, and of course Wang Situ has to be haggard."

Zhang Hua said: "When he led his ministers to greet His Majesty, the ministers saw that this person was panicked and thought that he was worried that his son-in-law's crime would affect him. ”

Cao Chao didn't think about it so much, Wang Su was at fault in the past, but now his credit is enough to make up for his mistakes.

He didn't want to pursue more, even if Wang Su deliberately went to rest, Cao Chao wouldn't say anything.

But when it came to Sima Zhao's matter, Cao Chao had to talk to Zhang Hua in detail again.

Sima Zhao went to destroy Shu after killing Cao Chao, and Cao Chao killed Sima Zhao after destroying Shu.

Cao Chao originally wanted to take the form of questioning to kill Sima Zhao.

It is a dignified and upright opening of the court to ask for sin.

However, if you take this approach, it may cause some problems.

The first is the issue of sentencing.

With Sima Zhao's original crime of attacking the emperor and vainly trying to kill the emperor and usurp the throne, what should he be convicted of?

It is not an exaggeration to punish the three clans.

Then the problem is big, first of all, his wife's family, Wang Su has to die first, and then his brothers, then Du Yu can't live, Yanghu has to be finished, Zhuge Dan, Wang Chang, and even Xun Yi, Pei Xiu, anyway, the name that can be said in the temple basically can't live.

The three generations of the Sima family are all in a crazy marriage, which started from Sima Yi's meeting, and the three clans will take these people away.

But if it is a light sentence, it will seem very unjust, and it will even leave a worse impact.

Therefore, Cao Chao decided to let Sima Zhao commit suicide.

First, he pleaded guilty, his guilt has been announced, and secondly, the other person died, and there was no need to interrogate and convict.

This is what Cao Chao thinks is a more pertinent approach.

After Sima Zhao's "suicide", He Zeng stepped onto the stage, he knew why Sima Zhao committed suicide at this time, and of course he also understood what to do next.

He began to purge the members of the Sima family according to the incriminating evidence left by Sima Zhao.

The members of the Sima family were deposed one after another and were questioned, unless they were very capable and could be used by His Majesty, the rest of them suffered heavy casualties, and among Sima Zhao's many younger brothers, except for Sima Jun, almost all of them were arrested.

At the beginning, Sima Fu took the initiative to clear up his relationship with Sima Shi Sima Zhao through an antagonistic approach, but he himself was involved in Gao Rou's rebellion.

Therefore, Sima Zhao's cousins could not be saved.

Wen County has been crying for several days and nights.

The attrition of the Sima family is very serious, He Zeng probably wants to prove his loyalty to Cao Chao, or maybe he wants to get rid of his many connections with them, he is very serious.

It was heavier than ever, and after Sima Gan was arrested, he was tortured and died directly in prison.

If other people were killed like this, there was no guarantee that the ministers in the temple would be able to overturn the Imperial Historical Tower.

But the dead man belonged to the Sima family, and the ministers didn't dare to say much.

Because if you open your mouth for them at this moment, it is easy to involve yourself.

He Zeng did not embarrass the relatives of the Sima family, and it was already very face-saving.

Although Cao Chao was still on the road at that time, he knew everything that happened in Luoyang.

He knew he would do that.

And this is what the Sima family should suffer.

If you want to wash away Luoshui's reputation, you have to use the blood of the Sima family!

After investigating and collecting evidence, He Zeng finally pointed the finger at Sima Yi.

Cao Chao had never dared to pull Sima Yi out.

The main problem is that many ministers are Sima Yi's protégés, such as General Hu.

Cao Chao was afraid of arousing their dissatisfaction and causing trouble for himself.

But at this moment, Cao Chao is obviously not afraid, after the destruction of Shu, his prestige is unprecedentedly high, even if it is Sima Yi's old department, he does not dare to be dissatisfied with Cao Chao because of him.

Even if you are dissatisfied, you can only hide it.

He Zeng issued an order in the name of Yu Shitai, believing that the crime began with Sima Yi, and after Sima Yi got rid of Cao Shuang, he became the new minister.

He set up the king of Qi, brutalized the ministers, and killed a lot of loyal people.

The list appeared one by one, but no one dared to refute it.

Cao Chao also decided that for Sima Yi, he should also take back all the officials like Sima Shi, dig him out, destroy his coffin, and then rebury him in civilian specifications!

Of course, speaking of which, there are two other people here who have never done it.

Wang Su's two grandsons.

Sima Yan and Sima You.

In the face of these two guys, He Zeng didn't dare to attack directly, probably because he took care of the emperor.

Zhang Hua looked at Cao Chao at the moment, but he didn't quite understand what the emperor thought.

The emperor's personal relationship with Sima Yan is very good, but if you want to deal with their family, you can't avoid this person.

But Cao Chao didn't take the initiative to mention Sima Yan's matter, so Zhang Hua didn't dare to ask rashly.

Zhang Hua just talked about those who felt uneasy because of the Sima family's affairs.

"Your Majesty, let me handle the aftermath of this matter, He Zeng, unscrupulous means, he was the closest to Sima Gan at the beginning, so Sima Gan died first I even think he deliberately concealed some crimes."

Hearing Zhang Hua's words, Cao Chao said: "He Zeng, this person, wise and foolish, he is working so hard now, just to survive." ”

Cao Chao looked at Zhang Hua very calmly, "Don't get involved in these dirty things." ”

"You can contact Pei Xiu and do a good job of Yongliang."

"Yui!!"

The Sima family ushered in the end this time, this big tree was directly cut down, the thick branches had fallen, and even the foundation began to be dug up at this moment, leaving only a few slender branches.

But Cao Chao was not in a hurry, because he had to deal with not only the Sima family, but all these big clans were within his scope of attack.

However, it is still necessary to wait for the unification.

When the Wei army attacked Shu, Wu was still fighting and did not send troops, but when they entered Wu and began to affect the interests of the big clans in Wu, the big clans couldn't sit still.

Lu Kang began to get up, and Lu Kang, as the son-in-law of the Lu family, went to the front line, which also represented that the big clans began to actively maintain their interests.

It is not good for the big clans of the Wu Kingdom to go out to attack, but they still work hard to protect themselves.

The results of Wang Ji and Wenqin can probably only be maintained on taking most of Wuling and Jianping, and if they advance further, the cost will become greater and greater.

Cao Chao doesn't want to do such consumption, and he can't afford to wait.

Next, it is time to build warships with all our might, and when the warships of Wei are launched one after another, that is, when Wu will fall.

Even if it is Lu Kang, he can't bear it at all under such a disadvantage.

And these big clans have one thing in common, if they find that they can't bear it, and when there will be a big problem if they resist hard, they will immediately choose the best way to protect the clan, that is, surrender.

Lu Kang's morality is still very high, and his talent is not low, but he is not the same kind of person as Jiang Wei.

Lu Kang has a huge family that he needs to take care of, and if his persistence will cause damage to the interests of the family, then he will not continue.

Just look at his sons, they were very active after the death of the country.

Therefore, the next key is to build a warship and continue to open up the gap with Wu, and when the Wu clan is desperate, it is time for the ministers of Wu to surrender to the emperor.

Their strength is much stronger than that of Qian Zhou or something!
