Wang Xiang is not the Queen Mother.
He also knew that this was definitely not what the Queen Mother meant. This was probably Cao Mao's own idea.
As for Yang Hu, Wang Xiang knew about it.
Yang Hu is not very old, only in his early thirties, but his reputation is not small, especially after he refused to conquer the country many times, he has been praised by many celebrities.
For people like Wang Xiang who are also in the famous circle, Yang Hu is no stranger.
And he could probably guess the reason why Cao Mao wanted to promote Yang Hu.
The emperor was afraid.
Now that the Queen Mother is at odds with the Guo family, the relationship between the two parties is getting worse, and the imperial army in the palace is in the hands of these Guo family members. Is the emperor afraid that they will obey the general's orders and attack him?
Therefore, he wanted to choose a well-known scholar who could be accepted by the Sima family but was not a die-hard member of the Sima family to take over this position.
Wang Xiang can also understand Cao Mao.
As a young emperor, this is probably the best solution the other party can think of.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not impossible. Please rest assured. It is currently inconvenient for me to meet with the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, just tell the truth and let the Queen Mother do it. Don't worry about other things."
"In addition, Your Majesty, don't worry too much about your own situation. You are not alone now. There are veterans, Chen Xiuyuan, the Queen Mother and others. No one can do anything to you."
Wang Xiang comforted him.
Cao Mao quickly said yes.
Wang Xiang has already started taking action to win over Chen Qian, which is a good thing.
The Eight Dukes of the Western Jin Dynasty have already obtained two of them.
Chen Qian is also a powerful helper. As for his ambition to climb up, in Cao Mao's opinion, he is actually much safer than Wang Xiang.
All Chen Qian wants is to be a general. As long as he is given a high official position and made the leader of the ministers, then he will be the emperor's good dog. He will bite anyone he is asked to bite without hesitation. .
He is somewhat similar to Cheng Ji, but the difference is that he has more brains than Cheng Ji. There is about ten Chengji difference between him and Cheng Ji.
When he becomes a general, he will not promote his family's descendants crazily, but will work hard to play the role of the most capable minister in the world.
Wang Xiang was different. He wanted more than just being a general. He wanted the entire family to rise. If he became powerful, he would first consider the clan and seek more benefits for his clan.
In contrast, Cao Mao still admires ministers like Chen Qian more.
He even wanted to meet Chen Qian and draw some favors for him. Unfortunately, there was still no chance to meet him. Meeting rashly would make people suspicious.
Eight Dukes of the Western Jin Dynasty, if I could capture them all
While Cao Mao was daydreaming, Sima Fu, who was also the Eighth Duke of the Western Jin Dynasty, was sitting in the house, looking at Sima Zhao who suddenly came to the door in front of him.
Even among the Eight Dukes of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Fu and his son have a great reputation.
After all, he was a "loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty", holding the emperor's body and crying loudly, showing his true nature as a loyal minister.
However, we can say that Sima Fu is dressed up, but we cannot say that he is dishonest.
Sima Fu made great achievements in military and political strategy.
At the beginning, Zhuge Liang frequently attacked, and the Wei army was in great pain, and the national power was seriously damaged. Faced with this situation, Sima Fu proposed to pre-select 20,000 infantry and cavalry troops and divide them into two parts for war.
He also suggested that since the Guanzhong area has been fighting for years and has insufficient food and material reserves, five thousand farmers from Jizhou should be mobilized to station in Shanggui for training in autumn and winter, and farming in spring and summer. These suggestions were adopted, so Guanzhong was enriched with supplies to prepare for the attack of Shu. There are also responses.
Later, Zhuge Ke sent 200,000 troops to attack Wei, and Sima Fu once again led the army. Facing Zhuge Ke's attack, he deliberately delayed and held on, dragging down the opponent's morale and winning with one blow.
Similarly, although his son Sima Wang did not have the commanding talents of his father, he was still regarded as the most outstanding defensive general in the world. He later served as the general of the Western Conquest. In his eight years in office, he repelled many attacks from the Shu Kingdom. , without letting the other party take advantage of it too much.
"Father Zhong, we are going to officially take action against Guanqiu Jian."
"I would like to petition the Emperor to transfer you to the position of Grand Tutor."
"Ranked above the three divisions."
Sima Zhao told Sima Fu the good news very happily.
In name, the Taifu teaches the emperor, assists in government affairs, and holds a high position of power, but in fact, this is an honorary official, which is more honorary than Situ, Taiwei, and Sikong. Generally speaking, this is a retired official.
Sima Fu looked at Sima Zhao in front of him calmly.
Sima Zhao's tone was not that of negotiation. He was giving a direct order to hand over his position as Taiwei.
In fact, Sima Fu didn't care that much about his position. Being a Taiwei or a Tutor was not that important to him. However, Sima Zhao's attitude made him a little unhappy.
From Sima Zhao's point of view, this is not a big deal. We are a family. Wouldn't it be nice to ask my uncle to give up his position and invite Guanqiu Jian to come, and help him get promoted by the way?
However, in Sima Fu's view, Master Sima was seriously ill and about to die, so Sima Zhao hurriedly transferred himself from his military post and appointed himself as Taifu.
what do you mean? ?
One thing, in the eyes of two people, presents two different interpretations.
Sima Fu believed that this was distrust of him and that he wanted to remove himself from the military field. In fact, the Sima family did so. After Master Sima died of illness, Jiang Wei launched another attack.
Sima Fu led the troops to repulse Jiang Wei's attack. Sima Zhao immediately appointed him as the Taifu, Situ Gaorou as the Taiwei, Sikong Zheng Chong as the Situ, and then promoted Lu Yu, the most famous person in the Chancellery, to Sikong position.
These transfer orders were completed at the same time. The first was to take the command of Sima Fu. From then on, Sima Fu never served as an army commander again.
Then Gao Rou, who did not understand military affairs, was appointed as the Taiwei, and his position of calling on the ministers was given to the transparent man Zheng Chong. Zheng Chong would not lead the ministers to seek benefits from the Sima family.
Finally, the powerful servant Shee of Shangshutai was transferred to Sikong's position, which strengthened the control of Shangshutai.
This order is in line with the rules and no one can say it is wrong.
Because of the changes caused by Cao Mao, Sima Zhao started mobilizing in advance.
Sima Fu paused for a moment, and then said, "Thank you, General Zhengxi."
Sima Zhao shook his head, "Father Zhong, don't do this. How dare I ask you to thank Father Zhong? If Guanqiu Jian raises an army, how do you think we should deploy it?"
Sima Fu said with a straight face, "I really don't know."
"Then who do you think can lead the army?"
"Of course it is none other than General Zhengxi."
"How can I do this? However, my brother's condition is no longer that serious. Maybe he will send troops himself."
"As soon as this edict comes out, Guanqiu Jian will definitely rebel and behead him!"
Sima Zhao gritted his teeth and said that he believed that all the current difficulties of the Sima family were caused by Guan Qiu Jian. As long as Guan Qiu Jian could be killed in this battle, everything would be solved.
The emperor did not dare to cause trouble again, the officials did not dare to be arrogant, and Gao Rou did not dare to threaten him anymore.
Looking at Sima Zhao who was already dreaming about a better future, Sima Fu felt very depressed.
He had no intention of competing with Sima Zhao for power, but after all, he felt a little unfair after being treated like this.
After Sima Zhao settled this matter, he happily said goodbye to his father Zhong and left here.
When he got on the carriage, the smile on his face disappeared.
He also saw the change in his father-in-law's expression.
It seems that Father Zhong can no longer be allowed to lead the army in the future.
Sima Zhao narrowed his eyes. There were many things he had to do next. First, he would send his niece to the palace, and then continue to implement the new nobility system. After the palace and temples calmed down, he directly issued an edict to Guanqiu Jian, asking him to Come to the temple.
Then there is an internal war.
Although Guanqiu Jian can fight, the family members of his army are all in the north. Moreover, relying on an incomplete Yangzhou to break away from the temple, logistics is a big problem for him. Unless he is determined to plunder, he can Guanqiu Jian is not that kind of person.
He is bound to fail.
But we still can't neglect it. Zhuge Dan met Guan Qiu Jian in private. Who knows whether he will join Guan Qiu Jian?
If he voted, the problem would be big. Yuzhou is different from Yangzhou. Yuzhou is a major grain-producing area. If the two alliance, they can fight a large-scale long-term war with the temple, and Wu and Shu will not miss it. When such a good opportunity comes, something big will happen.
While Sima Zhao was thinking about these important events, his carriage had already returned to his mansion.
As soon as he arrived in front of the mansion, he saw many carriages parked outside the mansion, all kinds of carriages, quite extraordinary.
Sima Zhao was stunned, "Is this my brother summoning the ministers?"
A servant hurriedly came forward and said, "General, that's not the case. Some celebrities are here to visit."
"Ah? Visiting me? Why didn't you send someone to tell me?"
Sima Zhao hurriedly got out of the car and was about to go inside. The servant hurriedly said: "I'm not here to see the general, but to see the young master."
"Um??"
At this moment, Sima Yan was sitting weakly in front of the case, looking at the many celebrities in front of him, "Yan can't get up to pay homage, so I hope you will forgive me."
"Sima Sanqi, don't talk like that. You have risked your own life for the sake of the world and done such a great thing. How dare we ask you to get up and pay homage to you?"
The celebrities sat in front of Sima Yan. If nothing else, their attitude was quite sincere.
Sima Yan was stunned and quickly started thinking.
Think about it quickly, what would Yanshi do if he encountered this situation?
Sima Yan quickly showed a gentle smile and hurriedly took the hands of the two celebrities around him.
"As a Sanqiu, this is what I should do, so how can it be considered an achievement?"
"What I have done is nothing. If you don't support me outside, how can I make His Majesty change his mind?"
"It's me who should thank you!"
"When I recover, I will definitely go to your mansion to meet them one by one!"
