"Wu temptress Lu Ban wields power in both the government and the public, supporting her foreign relatives. She killed her brother before, and now she has the idea of murdering her sister."
Wei Guo once again started court discussions.
The ministers ate melon again.
This time it was Wu's favor. After Sun Quan's daughter Sun Luban married Quan Zong, she began to actively seek power. The daughters of the whole family were made queens. The Quan family received preferential treatment as relatives, and five people were knighted.
Including Sun Jun, who is now the prime minister and general, his sister is also married to the Quan family, and he himself flatters and serves Sun Luban. The two of them colluded with each other, making the Wu temple even more chaotic, and Sun Luban himself was even more powerful. The position is as stable as Mount Tai.
Because Sun Luban hated Sun He's mother, he ordered Sun Jun to kill Sun He and kill his own brother.
Now he wants to take action against his sister.
Listening to what happened in the state of Wu, the faces of the ministers of the state of Wei were filled with smiles.
Today's Three Kingdoms are not competing to see whose national power is stronger or whose momentum of advancement is stronger. They are competing to see who is not as thorough as possible.
After eating the melon and criticizing many of the Wu thieves' bad policies as usual, the meeting got into its main theme.
The first person to submit a letter was Shangshu Ling Lu Yu.
"Prince Taichang resigned due to illness and returned home to recuperate. Taichang is the head of the Nine Qing Dynasties and is in charge of sacrifices. I heard that major national events, including sacrifices and wars, cannot be taken lightly. Taichang chose to go to the temple. Moral scholars should not be delayed in assisting the Holy King. Please ask the temple to select a great virtuous person to serve as his assistant."
Lu Yu was the first to speak and talked about the position of Taichang.
For a moment, the eyes of all the ministers were shining with light.
Many ministers have some ideas about this position.
Even if he is not responsible for it, he still wants his clan members or relatives to be responsible for it.
The temple suddenly fell silent. Lu Yu glanced at Wang Xiang, who was sitting far away. Wang Xiang slowly lowered his head to express his gratitude.
Because of Cao Mao's instructions, after Wang Xiang actively created the character of Shan Jing for himself, he began to contact his allies in an attempt to gain a position as Taichang.
The first person he looked for was Lu Yu.
Lu Yu is only one year older than Wang Xiang, but Wang Xiang is no match for Lu Yu in terms of background, talent, or qualifications.
There are many unlearned and unskilled high-ranking people in the temple. Many of them have climbed up through the relationship with their fathers and ancestors. They have no talents themselves. The three ministers and nine ministers are also different from before. Although it cannot be said that they have no authority, they have no power. Nor is it a practical unit.
But the Shangshu Desk is different. As the most important institution to maintain the operation of political power, there are very few wine bags and rice bags here. The people here are all personally selected by Sima Shi.
The head of the Shangshutai is Sima Shi. The Sima family can give up the position of the Sangong and Jiuqing to the wealthy family, but they will never give up the Shangshutai. Whoever holds the Shangshutai is the actual controller of the world.
Shangshu Lingding was concurrently held by Sima Jialai, and after Sima Shi's death, Sima Zhaolai concurrently held the post.
But Master Sima certainly couldn't do everything personally, so the deputy of Shangshutai became the actual person in charge of Shangshutai, and that person was Lu Yu.
There were many ministers following Lu Yu, and since this was a real and capable minister, Sima Zhao did not dare to be rude to him.
Master Sima still did not attend today's court meeting. Sima Zhao sat among the ministers and secretly controlled the court meeting.
Zhong Hui immediately looked at Sima Zhao.
When Wang Su left, Zhong Hui approached Sima Zhao, hoping that one of his own could take up this position, because Zhong Hui wanted to engage in classic justice, and if he wanted to handle this matter, he must have Taichang's full support. , if you can take yourself as too normal, that would be even better.
Zhong Hui is eager to try.
Speaking of which, Zhong Hui's qualifications are still not up to Taichang, and his achievements are probably not worthy of being the head of the Nine Qings.
Although he is very famous, he is not old enough and his merits are not up to standard. If he is directly appointed as Taichang, I don't know how many ministers will be dissatisfied.
Sima Zhao also had a severe headache.
At the beginning, the Sima brothers had a very good relationship with Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu took the young Zhong Hui out to play with them, and they had known each other since they were young.
Later, Zhong Hui's talents became more and more obvious, and even his brother's shine was suppressed.
Zhong Hui also admired Master Sima very much. He was his right-hand man and won his trust.
Sima Zhao also liked this young man who was ten years younger than him but showed extraordinary talents.
However, Zhong Hui's character flaws made Sima Zhao very helpless.
Sima Zhao didn't want to offend Zhong Hui, but he also didn't want to offend so many ministers because of him.
How could Zhong Hui be regarded as too often now? What credit does he have? If I dare to block him like this, I am afraid that this court meeting will not be able to proceed.
Sima Zhao looked at the others. Maybe another confidant could take over this position?
After Lu Yu opened his mouth, Shangshu Xunyi stood up immediately.
Xun Yi is the son of Taiwei Xun Yu. Of course, it is still the same old routine. He was criticized and became famous when he was young.
Oh, the person who commented on him was the famous minister Chen Qun. Chen Qun commented on him entirely because Xun Yi was very talented when he was young, and it had nothing to do with him being Xun Yi's brother-in-law!
He had a filial character, great reputation, and extensive knowledge. When he grew up, he became one of the celebrities. Later, when Sima Yi came to power, he was very happy when he saw him. He felt that he was very similar to Xun Lingjun, so he promoted him to be a regular attendant of Sanqi. , and later he was promoted to a higher rank step by step, and became a close confidant of the Sima family.
When Cao Shuang came to power, he rescued Fu Gu from persecution, which brought him greater fame.
Because he was very popular, many people regarded him as Xun Lingjun's successor, and many people liked him.
When Sima Zhao saw that it was him who was getting up, he felt relieved immediately.
Zhong Hui also smiled, full of confidence.
After all, this person was promoted by Sima Yi, so there is no need to doubt his position.
When the ministers saw that he was getting up, they immediately had no other thoughts. If this person wanted to participate, there was really no need to fight. It's really not worthwhile to fight too often.
When Wang Xiang saw the other party getting up, a trace of surprise and nervousness flashed in his eyes.
Xun Yi didn't like to participate in these things on weekdays. Like Wang Guan in the Chancery, he was taciturn. How could he take the initiative to get up today?
Wang Xiang looked at Zhong Hui and Sima Zhao and frowned immediately.
Damn it, is Zhong Hui interested?
With Zhong Hui's qualifications, naturally he cannot hold the position of too long, but there is no need to hold the position in person. As long as a minister close to the Sima family takes the position, it is enough.
Wang Xiang immediately understood what was wrong, that classic!
Taichang was responsible for promoting Confucian classics candidates and was the most suitable official for ranking classics, so he was chosen by Zhong Huisu!
Wang Xiang did not lose his composure and quickly thought of a countermeasure.
But Wang Xiang found that Lu Yu didn't have the slightest worry in his eyes. He had clearly promised that he would take the position yesterday, but he sat down directly at this moment, without even looking at Xun Shangshu, as if these things had nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter.
Xunyi looked at everyone, saluted, and then said: "Everyone, I think that Prince Sili Xiaowei is a man of high moral character and high prestige, and he is extremely accomplished in Confucian classics, so he is fully qualified to hold such an important position!"
At this moment, the expressions of several ministers changed drastically.
The smile on Zhong Hui's face disappeared instantly and he stared directly at Xun Yi.
He suddenly looked at Sima Zhao again, only to find that Sima Zhao's expression was equally astonished. He widened his eyes and looked at Xun Yi blankly.
It can be seen that this situation was not expected by Sima Zhaodu.
The most surprised person is probably Wang Xiang. At this moment, his heart is not as calm as his expression at all. It can be said that he is in a state of shock. Is this Lu Yu's arrangement? ? How did he win the confidants of the Sima family to his side? ?
The ministers listened to Xun Yi's words and looked at Wang Xiang again.
In these days, the most prominent minister in Luoyang is still Wang Xiang.
Since the Dongtang Banquet spread among celebrities, Wang Xiang's attainments in classics have also spread. It is said that this man was not famous before because he was introverted and unwilling to debate, but the emperor exposed his scholarship.
Others say that Wang Rong was drunk and accidentally circulated part of the copy of the Taixuan Sutra that Wang Xiang had annotated for him. Wang Xiang's understanding of the Taixuan Sutra was different from everyone else's and was somewhat similar to Wang Su.
And Wang Su himself is a world-famous academic master. Even people like Ruan Ji and Ji Kang dare not say that they can compete with Wang Su in talent and learning. Luoyang immediately spread the evaluation of "Two Kings of Taixue".
It is believed that Wang Xiang and Wang Su are equal masters of Taixuan Jing.
It was extremely easy for Wang Xiang to do this kind of job of raising hopes. In a short period of time, his reputation for treating menstruation had become known to everyone.
From this perspective, there seems to be nothing wrong with him taking on the role of Taichang.
What's more, this was proposed by Xun Yi. Xun Yi had always been close to the Sima family. His thoughts were probably those of the Sima family, right?
The ministers did not refute and all approved the candidate.
Several ministers serving as three ministers also agreed.
The pressure suddenly came to Sima Zhao.
Sima Zhao looked at Xun Yi blankly, then at the other ministers, and said, "We can discuss it next time."
Obviously, he was not satisfied with this choice.
The ministers looked at each other for a few times and did not continue to press him, so they ended the meeting in a hurry.
Wang Xiang is no longer worried at this moment. No matter what method Lu Yu uses to get Xun Yi on his side, since he has spoken this time, the matter is stable and there is no need to worry at all.
This made Wang Xiang very happy. He took up the post of Taichang and became the head of the Nine Qings from now on.
This will bring more benefits to the family, and it can promote more young talents, so it can form alliances with many families, and at the expense of this, it can obtain help from other big families.
As long as he takes this position, Wang Xiang can get rid of his current position of only waving flags and cheering others, and formally establish his own team, have his own disciples and former officials, have independent allies, and have the capital and heritage to win over others!
Thinking of this, Wang Xiang was in high spirits!
