"His Majesty!!"
When more than ten ministers appeared in the west hall, Cao Mao was stunned.
You must know that the West Hall is a private place used by the emperor to rest. Generally speaking, whether making friends or meeting ministers, it must be done in the East Hall. Intrusion into the West Hall is not allowed.
Of course, no one cares about this in this day and age.
However, the ministers who had been avoiding him on weekdays actually appeared in front of him together today.
This is too rare. Could this be Gao Rou usurping power? ?
But seeing Sima Fu following Gao Rou, Cao Mao woke up again.
Gao Rou had a straight face and looked angry, and the ministers behind him were also extremely serious.
They came here to ask questions. What did they do that made them so angry?
Cao Mao thought about it and seemed to have done a lot.
Before Cao Mao could react, Gao Rou pulled Xun Xu out of the crowd. Cao Mao was stunned, who is this?
"Your Majesty!! I heard that you want to abolish the casual cavalry and establish permanent servants. Is this true?!"
Xun Xu quickly lowered his head.
When Sima Zhao found him and asked him to submit a letter, Xun Xu was still a little confused.
He didn't know why he wanted to do such a thing by himself. He also thought about politely refusing, but Sima Zhao's attitude was very tough and said that this was the general's intention.
Xun Xu had no choice but to accept the order.
Speaking of which, Xun Xu is actually similar to Jia Chong, and he is also a person with few bottom lines.
Of course, this man could not commit regicide. In the early years, he gained some fame by collecting Cao Shuang's corpse. But after the death of Sima Shi, this man completely exposed his true nature. He was flattering, forming cliques for personal gains, causing harm to the country and the people. He was Many ministers despise him.
If it were other officials, they might not be able to do such a blatant thing to frame the emperor. Although the world is declining and morals are corrupt, everyone is still shameless and has not reached the completely shameless Sima Yan period.
But Xun Xu was able to do such a thing. It is conceivable that Master Sima did not want to kill Jia Chong in a hurry because he could be used at such a time.
Now that Jia Chong is gone, Xun Xu must be replaced.
Xun Xu had already made up his mind at this moment. If His Majesty denied the excuse, he would directly bear the crime.
He just said that he heard wrongly and that the emperor was not at fault.
In this way, he can create an image of a loyal minister who has been recruited by the emperor, and can gain a wave of fame from Gao Rou.
The more Your Majesty defends himself, the more sincere he becomes
Gao Rou must have known in his heart that Cao Mao would not do such a stupid thing, but he still brought his ministers here, mainly because he had previously believed in Zhong Hui and lost his base. This made Gao Rou's words in the temple Quan suffered a huge blow.
Gao Rou needs this opportunity to gain fame.
Starting from the late Han Dynasty, the reputation of scholar-bureaucrats became more and more important, and they began to use various methods to become famous.
Commenting, criticizing each other, using various methods to sensationalize, these methods are enough to make future generations stunned.
The Zhongzheng system also depends on reputation. After all, the number of places is limited, but there are many families. Whoever has the greatest reputation is most likely to be recruited first.
Logically speaking, at Gao Rou's level, there is no need to gain fame, but after being tricked by Zhong Hui, Gao Rou had no choice but to take her around to fight for fame, and maintained a good reputation for a lifetime. In the end, The ending can't end like this, right?
He was also prepared to gain fame from him no matter how His Majesty denied it!
When Cao Mao heard his question, his eyes were filled with confusion.
what?
Zhongchangshi?
Isn't this right? !
Who is trying to frame me?
Cao Mao looked at the ministers in front of him and stood up immediately.
"Mr. Situ, it's true, it's what I said!"
"me"
Situ Gong's train of thought was directly shattered by Cao Mao.
He looked at Cao Mao in front of him suspiciously, and then at Xun Xu. Xun Xu was even more confused than Gao Rou at the moment, his eyes widened.
Did he admit it? ?
The ministers were in an uproar, and so were the attendants around Cao Mao.
Gao Rou was silent for a moment, readjusted her state, and asked angrily: "Why did your Majesty have such a ridiculous idea?"
"Don't your Majesty know who caused the troubled times in the late Han Dynasty?"
"Does your Majesty want to be an emperor like Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling?!"
Gao Rou asked angrily.
The surrounding ministers shook their heads sadly and fully cooperated with Gao Rou.
Gao Rou scolded Cao Mao, and Cao Mao lowered his head and accepted the scolding sincerely.
After Gao Rou, several ministers expressed their opinions.
They all persuaded Cao Mao to understand that villains should not get close to each other, to stay away from eunuchs, and to pay attention to talented people.
After everyone finished speaking, Gao Rou looked coldly at the servants around Cao Mao.
"Your Majesty!! These people deceive the king and should be executed!"
The servants immediately panicked and looked at Cao Mao in horror.
Cao Mao hurriedly stepped forward, recalling An Shi's appearance in his mind, and timidly said: "A crime will not lead to death, and a crime will not lead to death. I will never have such thoughts in the future. They have taken care of me for many days, and asked Situ Please forgive them!"
Gao Rou was stunned, and quickly showed her strong attitude again and continued to reprimand the emperor.
Of course Cao Mao still obeyed sincerely.
"Mr. Situ, I have realized my mistake. I am willing to listen to your advice and get closer to Sanqi in the future. I will issue an edict now, ordering the Shangshutai to recruit the talented people in Luoyang as Sanqi to serve me. People around you should get close to them."
Hearing Cao Mao sincerely admit his mistake, Gao Rou stopped talking and gave the opportunity to the other ministers.
The ministers took turns speaking about various truths.
I don’t know how long the story lasted, but the ministers felt that it was almost done, so they bowed and said goodbye, and left here with dignity.
They were very happy. It will be recorded in the history books that the emperor often got close to the eunuchs and had the idea of resetting the permanent servants. The ministers met and advised the emperor. The emperor immediately admitted his mistake and changed his mind.
Then below are their various advices, and they will leave history in this name.
After everyone left, the chamberlains immediately knelt in front of Cao Mao.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
They were frightened just now. If Cao Mao had not protected them, they would have been killed right now, and no one would care about their lives.
Cao Mao sighed helplessly and immediately asked them to stand up.
"I was too anxious and almost made you suffer. It's all my fault."
Everyone quickly said they didn't dare.
Cao Mao glanced at Sima Hui and ordered everyone to leave.
Sima Shi and others did not stop themselves from contacting the eunuchs at all. The reason is that the eunuchs of today are different from the eunuchs of the past. The eunuchs of the late Han Dynasty were able to intervene in the chancellery, and even had military power. They were extremely powerful. The emperor used eunuchs to get rid of the generals. It happens all the time too.
But at this moment, the eunuchs have no power at all, whether it is administrative or military power, they have nothing.
Cao Pi deprived them of all their power and turned them into complete slaves of the emperor. They were responsible for taking care of the emperor's food, clothing, and daily life, and nothing else.
In the eyes of Master Sima, Cao Mao took the initiative to get close to some useless people. This could also be used to destroy Cao Mao's reputation, so why stop him?
But here in Cao Mao, these eunuchs are far more important than the wise men outside you.
This time he took the initiative to recognize it for this reason.
Anyway, if Master Sima framed him, he would not be able to explain it. It would be better to admit it and let these eunuchs see the way out for the future. These eunuchs also missed the era of Shichangshi.
At the same time, he can also use the name of being close to virtuous ministers to increase the number of Sanqi. Currently, he is trapped in the palace and cannot get out. Sanqi is the person he can communicate with in an open and honest manner, no matter whether his heart is towards the Sima family or the Wherever your heart goes, one more person will bring you one more solution.
Just as Cao Mao was thinking about it, he heard someone shouting outside.
Cao Mao was stunned and said loudly: "Let him come in!"
The person who walked in was indeed Sima Yan.
Sima Yan looked very sad, "Your Majesty!! Something big happened!!"
"Everyone outside is saying that you are an emperor like Huan Ling! They are all saying bad things about you, and they are even saying that they will sign a letter together."
Sima Yan complained and walked quickly to Cao Mao. He lowered his head and found that instead of being afraid, Cao Mao was still laughing.
He rubbed his forehead, "Why are you laughing? You are going to be infamy for eternity, and you are still laughing?"
"Hahaha~~~"
When he said this, Cao Mao laughed even louder. He grabbed Sima Yan's hand and asked him to sit down.
"An Shi, do you want to be famous?"
"Um???"
