Chapter 160: Treat everyone equally
When the news of the failure of the Jiangdong rebellion came, Cao Chao did not feel the slightest surprise.
The other party's thinking is simple and rude, but no matter how crazy Sun Hao is, he will definitely leave his henchmen to guard Jianye.
Don't think that crazy people don't have henchmen.
His uncles, and his father's old men, and those whom he had promoted, rewarded, and valued for marriage.
These are his henchmen.
The big clan is counting on being able to rebel against these people, but I'm afraid it's not easy.
And Cao Chao knew that similar things would often happen in Wu in the future, the general Ding Gu who guarded Jianye for Sun Hao.
He will soon want to start a rebellion, and he will conspire with Shi Ji and others to change the emperor.
As a result, the idea was stopped because there was opposition from within.
From Sun Hao's ascension to the throne to his arrest, in fact, there have always been rebellions and strife within the Wu State, most of which were directed against the mad emperor.
As a result, these people were all slaughtered, and Wan Yu, who supported Sun Hao's ascension, also died in Sun Hao's hands.
Cao Chao looked at the paperwork in his hand, just shook his head and put it aside.
It is still necessary to start before Sun Hao starts to toss the people and complete the unification, Sun Hao toss the people and Puyangxing toss the people is different, Puyangxing is tossing for water conservancy and reclamation and other things, Sun Hao is purely for his own pleasure.
The population in the south is not large, where can Sun Hao be so tormented?
The problem that Cao Chao is encountering now is Wu Guo's shrinking tactics.
If you want to break this shell, you can only be very patient and charge.
Or you can expect Sun Hao to go crazy one day and directly lead the army to kill him, or kill him single-handedly.
Cao Chao is not joking, Sun Hao really has the idea of going to Luoyang in history.
It is said that there was a monk who told him that Sun Hao should become the king of the great unification, and said that the people of the Central Plains were waiting for him to inherit the throne, and then this one brought his queen son the queen mother, and was ready to go to Luoyang to be the emperor of the great unification!
He brought with him more than a thousand people, and these more than a thousand people were not combat troops at all.
As a result, these people walked halfway, and encountered a heavy snowstorm, and even his closest armor soldiers said that if they encountered the enemy, then surrender directly!
Later, because the road was intercepted and the ministers persuaded hard, Sun Hao ended this farce.
It was because of this incident that Cao Chao felt that this guy was not normal at all.
Of course, Sun Hao is still quite powerful when he is sober.
He attaches great importance to those who can fight, tortures the big clans, exiles them at every turn, redivides the counties and counties, canonizes a large number of clans as kings, and constantly scatters and disrupts them, and the problem of the big clans of the Wu State has been solved favorably in his hands!!
This is ample proof that only a tyrant can solve the problems of the great clans.
He has never been close to anyone, how good the relationship between the Lu family and him is, but after Lu Kai's death in history, he immediately turned his face, arrested and exiled the clansmen, and dug graves, Ding Feng was extremely loyal to him, but as soon as Ding Feng died, he had to take action against Ding Feng's family.
This kind of behavior solves the problem of the big clan very well, but it cannot be imitated.
It's chilling.
At the end of the confrontation between the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Wu, the ministers of the Eastern Wu Dynasty had been waiting for the Western Jin Dynasty army to come in, and the ministers of the Western Jin Dynasty had been persuading the emperor not to send troops to the Eastern Wu.
One of the two sides wants to be reunified, and the other does not want to be unified.
Strange, weird.
Just when Cao Chao looked at the letter in his hand, Yang Zong walked in quickly, and saw that Cao Chao was busy, so he didn't bother, just stood aside.
Cao Chao picked up the pen and wrote a few letters, which were sent to him, and then he looked at Yang Zong.
"Yang Gong, what's going on?"
"I have already given instructions to General Ma, he will look at Guo Jun more, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry."
Cao Chao suddenly laughed, "The officials over there should be scared now, right?"
"How can you not be afraid? The last general sent by His Majesty to protect the Qiang Zhonglang caused a lot of trouble, and this time he sent another one, and they probably thought that His Majesty was going to do it again."
"That's fine, Guo Jun is a serious person, if those people are afraid of him, it will be much easier for him to do things."
Yang Zong just looked at His Majesty the Emperor in front of him quietly at the moment, and seemed to be a little stunned.
Cao Chao touched his face and asked a little strangely, "What is Yang Gong looking at?" Aren't you looking at the breath of the Son of Heaven?"
Yang Zong laughed.
Obviously, he also knew about the situation in Wu State.
"The minister doesn't know how to look at qi, but he just thinks that His Majesty has become different from before."
"What's the difference?"
"The minister can't say it well, but it's much kinder than before."
"Since this Sun Hao ascended the throne, I have become much more cordial in the eyes of everyone."
Yang Zong laughed again.
Yang Zong is very happy that his emperor has such a change, since the death of Sima Shi, the emperor has changed greatly, he is as cold as a governing machine, completely devoid of any vitality, although there is always a smile on his face, but under the smile is an unspeakable indifference.
But the current emperor is alive again, just like when he was in Yuancheng.
It's all a joke.
Yang Zong quite likes such changes, such changes are all after the birth of the prince, sure enough, he was not wrong at the beginning, with a child, His Majesty will no longer be so indifferent and withdrawn.
Yang Zong chatted with Cao Chao for a long time before leaving.
When he walked out of the Taiji Hall and walked towards the gate of the palace, someone suddenly stopped him.
"Yang Gong!"
Yang Zong looked at the person in front of him and returned the salute.
"Gong Xin? Why are you here?"
The person who came was Xin Chang, a relative of the Yanghu family, and Cao Chao could be regarded as having something to do with it.
These people are now in the position of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, and the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries have now completely become vacant positions.
They have lost all power and no longer interfere with the temple, unless they have part-time jobs in other departments, otherwise, the pure Three Princes and Nine Princes are honorary officials.
At the beginning, those old people were arranged by Cao Chao in these positions, they couldn't interfere in anything, their status was extremely high, but they didn't have any power, they could only watch others make contributions.
However, these people are not completely useless, Cao Chao uses these people to find fault with the rest of the offices, which can be regarded as a kind of supervision and urging of the offices.
Xin Chang was the victim of this honorary officer.
This kind of honorary official is no matter how high the status is, because it has no real power, it becomes unimportant.
These people can no longer do much for themselves or their clans, or even maintain their extraordinary status.
Not long ago, one of his relatives was arrested by the Criminal Department, and he wanted to go to the Criminal Department to solve the matter, but he didn't expect that even Shang Shulang didn't take him in his eyes and let him leave directly.
And others treat a Shang Shulang more politely than themselves.
This made Xin Chang a little unacceptable.
In these days, he has been trying to find ways to improve the status of these old ministers, and has written to Cao Chao several times, hoping to restore some of the power of the three princes and nine secretaries.
Yang Zong is an old acquaintance with him.
Xin Chang smiled at this moment and said, "I'm here to meet Your Majesty's Yang Gong, I have a great benefit to give you."
Yang Zong glanced at him and asked, "What's the benefit?"
"Your Majesty favors your eldest son too much, and such behavior is not good for the world, why doesn't Yang Gong follow me to advise Your Majesty?"
Hearing Xin Chang's words, Yang Zong's face instantly became ugly.
Where does he not know what these people think, and wants to use this matter to make a name for himself, right? ?
Yang Zong squinted his eyes and motioned for the other party to approach.
"Gong Xin, what do you think of Sun Hao of Wu Kingdom?"
Xin Chang looked at him in astonishment, "Why did Yang Gong ask me about this?"
"I'm just curious, Sun Hao is cruel and tyrannical, but few ministers dare to persuade him, His Majesty is benevolent and righteous now, just because he is a little happier after having the eldest son, you want to advise."
"Is it that the courtiers of Great Wei are more heroic than the ministers of Jiangdong? Or is Your Majesty too merciful today?"
Hearing this, Xin Chang was furious, "How can you compare Your Majesty to that madman in Jiangdong?"
"Since Duke Xin also thinks that His Majesty is a holy king now, then go back to the mansion, don't bother him like this anymore, how much you love the eldest son and be advised by you people? Nothing to do."
Yang Zong scolded a few words, and then shouted into the distance, "Where is Chengji?!"
Cheng Ji quickly led the armor soldiers to rush here, "What's wrong?"
Yang Zong pointed to Xin Chang in front of him, "Don't let people like this in again!"
Xin Yi was furious, "I am Your Majesty's dearest."
Before he finished his words, Cheng Ji grabbed him and walked towards the door, Xin Chang staggered away and was dragged away by him, only to feel angry, "How dare you humiliate me like this? Let go!!"
Cheng Ji didn't care about his shouting at all, just dragged him out all the way.
Yang Zong sneered and watched the man being taken away.
These dogs can't find anything to do all day long!
And when the world is unified, the first thing is to dispose of you people!
Let you all go to Nanzhong to enjoy the blessings!
Yang Zong walked out of the palace quickly, he still had a lot of things to do.
Because of his outstanding performance in Yongliang, Cao Chao secretly gave Yang Zong an extremely important task to thoroughly investigate the big clans in various places.
Cao Chao is different from Sun Hao, Cao Chao is a benevolent monarch, he will not make up a crime at will and exile a clan, but if these big clans themselves are not clean, then Cao Chao will not be blamed.
Cao Chao has always treated everyone equally, no matter how big your clan is, as long as you do something that violates the law and discipline, then you must be punished!
The direction of Yang Zong's thorough investigation today is on the public field, and after Hu Zun thoroughly investigated in Qingxu last time, the big clan has converged a little, but the Great Wei is very large, the population is large, there are all kinds of people, and there are many people who don't have a long memory.
After the tuntian system was officially abolished, the corners of the jackals' mouths hung with saliva and were constantly biting.
Wang Su's son is a case in point.
Yang Zong was ready to give them a ruthless blow.
And the clan he is investigating now, Yang Zong looked down at the impeachment content of the letter in his hand.
Huangmenlang Yangxiu, and the sheep family to which he belongs.
Oh, this time Your Majesty is going to be embarrassed.
