Queen Mother Guo was speechless for a long time.
What Cao Mao said was not a lie. The Cao Wei clan was definitely the most miserable group of people in the entire aristocratic circle.
Even when powerful ministers like Cao Shuang, who came from a clan, came to power, they did not forget to suppress the other clans.
Cao Mao, who was born in a feudal lord, could best understand the mood of the clan members.
Empress Dowager Guo said helplessly: "Fashion, that is all in the past. Now that you are the emperor, you must first consider the world. The clan is not what it used to be, so how can it be our help?"
Queen Mother Guo had a rough understanding of Cao Mao's words.
She believed that Cao Mao recalled his experience in Yuancheng, so he wanted to untie the shackles of the clan.
Cao Mao said seriously: "Mother, the power of the clan cannot be underestimated. Nowadays, the country of Wei Dynasty is full of clans. In addition to the princes and kings outside, there are also many clans in the army and local areas. If they are useless, Sima Why do you want to gather most of the clans in Hebei and Yecheng, and don't dare to let them go to other places?"
"Is the clan that makes Master Sima so fearful really so useless?"
"Mother, the reason why the clan seems weak is because of the restrictions of the temple. First, it restricts their abilities. Second, it arouses their dissatisfaction and makes them unwilling to help the temple."
"My son thinks that if mother can pardon many clans in Hebei and allow them to return to their respective fiefdoms, and then I come forward to gradually abolish the restriction orders of the princes and clans, and improve their treatment to be better than that of the Sima family, she will definitely be frightened by us. Shivering."
"Mom, who is the most powerful family in the world?"
"Of course Sima"
Queen Mother Guo suddenly realized, "It's the Cao family."
Cao Mao laughed, "In terms of the number of children, the official positions of the children in the family, and the titles of the ancestors, who in the entire Wei Dynasty can compete with us?"
"The Cao family is the most powerful family at the moment, and the Sima family is only second."
"If we want to regain power, we must reuse the children of our own family. We must think like a real aristocratic family in order to defeat the Sima family."
Queen Mother Guo was still a little worried, but Cao Mao's words sounded so reasonable.
Queen Mother Guo said: "You should ask your teacher first and listen to his thoughts."
"only."
When Cao Mao walked out of Zhaoyang Palace, his forehead hurt slightly.
In the past few days, there were so many things he had done and wanted to do, which made Cao Mao a little tired.
But time is urgent now, and I heard that the temple has promoted Sima Fu to Tai Tu.
So the next step is to promote Guanqiu Jian to the rank of Taiwei.
And this is to announce the progress of this war. Cao Mao has made a lot of preparations in these days, but everything has to be told through this war. If Guanqiu Jian is defeated, then Sima Division will immediately turn around and not fight at all. Kill himself mercilessly and eliminate all those who can threaten his brother.
If Guanqiu Jian wins, Sima Zhao will immediately take action and kill himself to avenge his brother.
Cao Mao could only cheer up, speed up the process, and get more amulets for himself before the two sides officially started fighting, so as to better intervene in this war.
Cao Mao had a quick meal and then rushed to the next work station.
Today, he will summon Zheng Xiaotong, the attendant, and Ruan Ji, the regular attendant of Sanqi, Wang Shen, Pei Xiu, Sima Yan, Gao Guang of Sanqi and others in the west hall.
Cao Mao liked these people very much.
As soon as he saw them, Cao Mao said with a smile: "Mr. Wenji is here!"
Several ministers looked at Wang Chen.
Wang Chen quickly saluted and said, "I don't dare."
Cao Mao liked these talented knights under his command very much, and gave them different nicknames. Wang Chen was called "Mr. Wenji", and the newcomer Pei Xiu was called "Confucian father-in-law" by him.
The two of them were quite touched by this kind of attention.
Cao Mao went to worship with other Sanqi and others.
Zheng Xiaotong's attitude towards Cao Mao was obviously somewhat close. Cao Mao's previous performance seemed to have convinced the grandson of Zheng Xuan. The eyes he looked at Cao Mao were so gentle, as if he were looking at his junior.
Ruan Ji squinted his eyes, still looking so cold.
Pei Xiu yawned and scratched his body.
Sima Yan had a frown on his face. He was obviously afraid that these people would gather together and talk about knowledge again.
Gao Guang was the most embarrassed, blending in the crowd with his head lowered and not daring to look at Cao Mao.
Wang Chen maintained his elegant image and sat respectfully next to Cao Mao, with a kind smile on his face.
Cao Mao looked at these people, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Although Wang Chen looked like a dog, during the first week, Cao Mao treated him as a confidant and treated him with great favor. As a result, Wang Chen was granted the title of Marquis of Anping for his role in informing, and Cao Mao died tragically.
Both Gao Guang and Pei Xiu were selected by Master Sima as future pillars.
Of the two of them, one is Sima Yan's Shangshu Ling and the other is Sima Zhong's Shangshu Ling.
In other words, in Cao Mao's cavalry team, only Ruan Ji can be trusted, and the rest are untrustworthy, including Zheng Xiaotong.
Historically, Zheng Xiaotong was poisoned by Sima Zhao.
He went to see Sima Zhao. Sima Zhao happened to go to the toilet and had important documents on the case. When he came back, he asked Zheng Xiaotong if he had seen his things. Zheng Xiaotong said no. Sima Zhao decided to kill him anyway and said to him : I would rather betray you than betray me.
Although he was also killed by Sima Zhao, Cao Mao did not dare to trust him easily.
After all, he has never expressed his position in history. Besides, as a servant, why would he go to see Sima Zhao without accompanying him? ?
Cao Mao looked at everyone and said slowly: "I summoned you all here today for a big event."
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Sima Yan immediately asked.
As long as it's not about academic discussions, Sima Yan can accept it.
Cao Mao said seriously: "When I was debating with many celebrities before, I accidentally discovered that today's classics is really confusing and complicated, with many types and conflicts with each other. I want to summon scholars to re-edit the classics to bring justice to many classics!"
"What?! No way!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Xiaotong's expression changed drastically and he hurriedly spoke.
The Eastern Han Dynasty had just experienced a fierce dispute between ancient and modern literature, and his grandfather Zheng Xuan was the leader of the ancient literature school. At this time, His Majesty always talked about what justice was for Confucianism, and said that he wanted to develop a set of official studies of Cao Wei. That Confucianism The battle is about to begin now.
Today's academic atmosphere is different. Metaphysics is popular, modern literature school has gone a step further in superstition, and the academic environment has become extremely complicated.
If we were to fight a war on Confucian classics now, the situation would be uncontrollable!
Cao Mao looked at the people in front of him. Zheng Xiaotong was the most nervous. Ruan Ji was dismissive. Pei Xiu had already begun to unbutton his collar. If Cao Mao said another word, this guy would start streaking. Wang Chen was eager to try. Sima Yan was most at a loss.
Cao Mao said seriously: "I am not trying to start a debate among the schools. On the contrary, I am preparing to integrate all the schools, determine the outline, end the original chaos, establish classic justice, and pass it on to future generations!"
Zheng Xiaotong frowned, "Your Majesty, even if you think so, once something like this starts, it will inevitably cause disputes. Integrating many classics is simply not feasible at the moment!"
Zheng Xiaotong immediately took the Eastern Han Dynasty as a precedent and told Cao Mao the consequences of doing so.
Cao Mao asked everyone what they thought.
Everyone's reactions were also different.
Wang Chen actually agreed with Cao Mao. Perhaps he thought that such a thing could give him a chance to get ahead?
Just when everyone started to discuss and argue, Cao Mao looked at Ruan Ji helplessly.
"Don't you agree with this too?"
Ruan Ji shook his head, "Classics vary from person to person, how can they be something that can be integrated and universal?"
"This is for the sake of the world."
Cao Mao sighed with emotion as he suddenly sat next to Ruan Ji, "How many people do you think will agree with this?"
Ruan Ji was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Except for the idiot, no one should agree."
Wang Chen didn't seem to hear what he said and continued to argue with Zheng Xiaotong.
Cao Mao suddenly asked in a low voice: "Then why don't you ask Uncle Ji?"
Ruan Ji's eyes twitched, and before he could react, the emperor had already stood up. He returned to his seat again, interrupted the debate between Zheng Xiaotong and Wang Chen, and said helplessly: "Forget it, since If you don’t want to, then let’s talk about it later.”
Everyone bid farewell to the emperor and left here one by one.
Zheng Xiaotong repeatedly told Cao Mao not to have such thoughts and not to disrupt today's academic atmosphere.
Everyone left, but Sima Yan hadn't left yet.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"
"An Shi, I have a huge achievement at this moment, do you want it?"
Sima Yan touched his butt, "My injury is just right. Otherwise, Your Majesty, you can take it yourself?"
"General."
Master Sima knelt down in front of the case with disheveled hair and a pale face. In front of him were the contents of yesterday's debate between Cao Mao and his ministers.
When someone came in to report, he didn't even raise his head.
He continued to look at the content in his hand and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
"A sage informed me that today His Majesty summoned many knights to discuss the integration of many classics in order to do justice to the classics."
"What did you say?!"
Master Sima suddenly raised his head, the veins on his forehead becoming more and more obvious.
The servant felt his legs trembling as he was stared at by Master Sima.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, suppressed his fear, and said: "All the princes have not agreed. Your Majesty's efforts are in vain."
"Hehehe~~~"
Master Sima suddenly laughed. The laughter seemed to come from his chest. Combined with his stiff expression, it was very frightening.
"First you disturbed the local area, then disturbed the temple, and now you want to disturb the scholars of the world?"
"As long as this matter is spread out, do I still need the consent of those people?!"
"What a virtuous king, what a holy king!"
