Chapter Ninety-Nine: The National Teacher
Sun Quan committed suicide in defeat, Zhou Yu also committed suicide, Cao Cao won the southern land in a battle, and then sent troops and envoys to Yizhou, quickly took Yizhou, and unified the world.
Cao Cao's subordinates saw that the world was unified, and Cao Ren, a confidant of the clan, led a cadre of military generals to begin to say to Cao Cao to replace Liu Xie, ascending the throne and becoming emperor, Cao Cao resigned; then the civil officials also began to ask Cao Cao to ascend the throne and call the emperor, and Cao Cao resigned; the remaining people who still have illusions about the Han Dynasty saw this posture, it was too different, everyone saw that their eyes were not good, and they couldn't do it if they didn't speak, so they hurriedly said again with other civil and military generals that Cao Cao would ascend the throne and claim the emperor, and we wouldn't let you go if you didn't ascend the throne, and Cao Cao agreed.
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty abdicated and was reduced to the Duke of Shanyang County, retaining the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao ascended the throne, changed the country name "Wei", changed the Yuan to Huang Chu, called the emperor to ascend the throne, and sealed the meritorious hero. When Cao Cao ascended the throne, Taixuan took out the heirloom jade seal and gave it to him as a gift, which made Cao Cao's heart bloom and he was very happy.
The people and horses of Jiaozhou have all been rewarded, Jia Cong, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang, and Huang Zhong have all been made marquises, these are all the credits that Taixuan has given them, and they have also deserved to protect the territory and the people over the years.
Taixuan resigned Cao Cao's reward, ready to leave the hermitage in a chic manner, Cao Cao in order to stay Taixuan, forced to add the title of "Great Wei National Teacher", go to the palace without worshipping, enter the palace with a blade, specially built a national teacher's mansion for this purpose, so that Taixuan smiled bitterly.
"How can the national teacher bear to abandon the widow and leave, the world is decided, and the national teacher is still needed to make suggestions and suppress the unscrupulous people in the world!" Cao Cao, who has become the emperor, gave a performance of a nose and a tear there, which made Taixuan have a headache.
"Okay, don't be embarrassed anymore, you are now the Ninety-Five Supreme, pay attention to the image, Poor Dao will help you come up with a plan to solve your current problems, and you will implement it yourself." You don't have to worry about other monks in the world, they don't dare to mess around, what do you think I asked you to worship the City God Temple, in addition to attracting souls and avoiding evil ghosts in the world, but also to worship this heaven and earth divine array, you also saw the power of the divine array back then. If you change your year name well, if you worship the Queen of the Yellow Sky in the future, the cultivators in the world will not dare to mess around, and the people in the world will be resentful after the chaos, which can cause the soul of the human will to descend the divine thunder and scatter!" Tai Xuan smiled, knowing what Cao Cao was worried about, and explained to him.
"I see, the divine array still has this effect, Meng De has been taught!" After Cao Cao heard Taixuan's explanation, he immediately stopped crying, as if he had come to an enlightenment.
"The Divine Array is the will of the people of the world, as long as the Han people are endless, the Divine Array is difficult to destroy, but the Divine Array is thoughtless, although the Daoist brother was integrated into the Divine Array as the eye of the array, but he can't go against the will of humanity, come indiscriminately, what happened to the Yellow Turban back then, I think you also know the intentions of the great sage and good teacher, you don't have to worry about the Divine Array affecting your Cao family to sit in the world!" Tai Xuan continued to explain.
"Mengde must be kind to the people of the world and let everyone in the world be peaceful. But now that the examination is being implemented, what will I do later, the national teacher is the person who pioneered and promoted the invention of this examination, can there be a good plan to teach me?" After Cao Cao heard Taixuan explain that the divine array had no effect on him, he began to ask about the examination that is now a headache, and the world has decided that those families and wealthy families have begun to take the lead in doing things again, and they have begun to suppress these officials who have been promoted.
"The examination should be treated as the law of the ancestors of the national policy, and now the world is decided, and it must be vigorously implemented, otherwise the later family and the wealthy family will be relieved, and the previous family and the wealthy family will control the filial piety and honesty so that the Emperor Ling has to sell his official situation will be staged again, and the examination can be broken with the college. But now there is no stratification in the examination, it is indeed a trouble, you can be divided into three layers to implement, county, state, court three levels of assessment, the examination is divided into Xiucai, lifting, Jinshi. These people are qualified to sit in office, aren't you pushing the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, Xiucai can open a private school, be a country chief, a township chief and other nine-grade small officials, and raise people to go to the yamen to start as an eight-grade official, and a jinshi to start as a seven-grade official, and these people who enter the grade are all served by these examiners. If you become an official, you can't take the exam again, and those who want to take the Jinshi exam can't be an official, you can have the qualification to teach in a private school, and you can enter the college to study and continue to take the Jinshi, and the college can also be divided into private schools, county-level colleges, and state-level universities.
"Wonderful, wonderful! What other national policy can the national teacher continue!" Cao Cao patted his thigh and said excitedly, looking at Taixuan with his eyes shining.
Tai Xuan looked at Cao Cao and thought in his heart: "Since Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi have all come out, the cabinet, the six ministries, the Inspectorate, the Military Aircraft Department, the military academy, the division of civil and military affairs, and the cabinet boss of Tingtui can be changed for a maximum of two terms in five years, and the bank can also be taken out, the power of the state pastor is too great, and Cao Cao is also taking power, taking advantage of the pioneering spirit of the newly founded monarch and the authority of the monarch is easy to get out, so that the world can basically be stable for more than 300 years!"
For five days in a row, Cao Cao ate and lived in the National Teacher's Mansion, listened to Taixuan explain these contents, and brought out these systems.
In the following three years, the cabinet, the six ministries, the Inspectorate, the Military Aircraft Department, and the military academy all popped up, and the appearance of the Royal Bank led to the circulation of Huang Chutongbao copper coins and Dawei ingots silver dollars and large silver bills in the market. The new system has completely ruined the intention of the entire Great Wei family and wealthy families to control the government again, and even the opportunity to be a powerful minister is rare, and the officialdom system since the Han Dynasty has changed is completely earthquake-like, impacting the hearts of the world's celebrities, especially when they heard that these systems were passed from the National Teacher's Mansion to His Majesty, they all looked sideways and respected like gods. Even Yu Ji and Zuo Ci sighed again and again when they heard about it, and they deserved to be people outside the world.
In the fifth year of the early Huang Dynasty, Taixuan resigned to Cao Cao, and he wanted to travel around the world, understand the avenue of heaven and earth, and collect good refining materials by the way.
Thirty years of cultivation Taixuan has been perfected, the blue lotus with a diameter of one zhang and two feet in the sea swaying and worshipping, the pure and soft light illuminates the place within a radius of twelve miles of the sea of knowledge, the green lotus is no longer growing in the void, the lotus stalk has been submerged into the big lake that has become a radius of twelve miles, the lake is shrouded in the brilliance of the green lotus, and the lake water formed by the clear mind of the sea can even clearly reflect the mood fluctuations of ordinary people below the exterior scene. Thinking and thinking, so that ordinary people have no secret in the eyes of Taixuan, and at a glance through the mind, even if the mood of the exterior fluctuates, it is difficult to escape the capture of the sea and lake.
Twenty years later, Taixuan came back, met Cao Cao, who was still old and strong, took out a palm-sized jade gourd and poured out a bunch of seeds, including corn, potatoes, peppers, pumpkins and other crops, and introduced these crops, when Cao Cao learned that corn and potatoes had a high yield, he was shocked and shouted: "Xiangrui", and immediately sent people to follow Taixuan to learn to plant, vowing to promote the world, so that the people are not hungry.
Taixuan resigned from the position of national teacher, Cao Cao also allowed it, the world has been peaceful these years, and no one has come out to make trouble, the status and power of the national teacher are too high, and he is also old.
