crazy?
Go crazy!
How dare he? !
As soon as Wang Xiang's words came out, the civil and military officials in the court were stunned and turned pale with shock.
Not only them, but also Sima Zhao was stunned at this moment.
The temple suddenly fell silent.
Wang Xiang glanced at Lu Yu again, and then sat in his seat.
In this weird silence, the officials just realized what happened.
General Zhengxi asked the ministers to stand in line and attack Guanqiu Jian's unruly behavior. As a result, the new Taichang Wang Xiang stood up and reprimanded General Zhengxi? !
How long has it been since Xia Houxuan and other ministers were killed? No one dared to do this to Sima's people? !
Is this Taichang crazy?
Is he not afraid of death? Still have something to rely on?
Just when everyone's minds were blank and completely unpredictable, Sima Zhao finally came to his senses.
Sima Zhao looked at Wang Xiang in the distance, and suddenly he laughed.
His face was red and he was laughing very loudly.
"Okay, okay."
Sima Zhao said and stood up suddenly.
"General."
Zhong Yu quickly stood up and stood in front of Sima Zhao.
Zhong Yu also felt a little numb at the moment, but when he saw Sima Zhao breaking his defense, he hurriedly stopped him. Wang Xiang couldn't move easily.
Although Wang Xiang's family is not the top, the Langya Wang family is not easy to bully.
Wang Xiang's reputation is too great. If he is tried to be touched, there will definitely be a huge public backlash.
Among the Langya Wang family were Wang Hun, the governor of Liangzhou, Wang Yi, the general of Pingbei, Wang Lan, the prefect of Qinghe, and others.
What's more, since Wang Xiang was so abnormal today, there must be people behind him who support him. Judging from his expression just now, this incident is most likely related to the minister's servant shooting Lu Yu, and the implication is even greater.
If Sima Zhao takes action against Wang Xiang now, it will really cause chaos!
Zhong Yu didn't say much, just stared into Sima Zhao's eyes.
Sima Zhao's overwhelming anger was finally contained by him, and he sat back in his seat.
This time his eyes fell on Lu Yu.
Lu Yu's mood at this moment was really difficult to explain in words, and he didn't understand what happened. Suddenly, a big black pot was placed directly on his head.
Lu Yu was completely stunned. He looked at Wang Xiang in the distance.
He wanted to know, what exactly did Wang Xiang want to do?
His purpose couldn't be to pull him to commit suicide, right?
But Wang Xiang had no idea of doing anything more. He sat quietly in his seat, lowered his head and said nothing.
Lu Yu was furious.
He understood what the other party was thinking, which was to force him to perform.
In the current situation, if he did not talk about innovation now and brought the ministers to his side, what would happen after the next court, Lu Yu could not imagine at all.
Even though he was the minister's servant and the actual controller of the minister's desk, the problem was that Master Sima didn't care about it! !
Then Xu Yun is still Zhongshu Ling! Do you think Master Sima has ever hesitated? ?
Although Sima Shi's iron-fisted rule stabilized the temple and increased the power of the Sima family itself, it also brought serious consequences.
The ministers have always lived under strong pressure, like frightened birds.
The ministers who died tragically in the past have proved that as long as it arouses Sima Shi's fear and makes him feel that he is a threat, it is useless no matter what his identity is, whether he is really involved, or even taking the initiative to admit defeat.
He will definitely kill you and kill your three clans.
Under such circumstances, whenever the ministers find that they have aroused the vigilance of Master Sima, they will unthinkingly think that Master Sima wants to kill them.
Lu Yu thought so too.
He looked at Wang Xiang in the distance and finally stood up.
"I have something to say!"
Wang Xiang lowered his head, and even if Lu Yu stood up, there was no change in his face.
His original idea was to take charge of this matter himself, let Chen Qian propose it, and stand behind to benefit from it.
But now that Master Sima was fearful and might be killed, he had no choice but to change his thinking from Chen Qian to Lu Yu.
Of course, Lu Yu is not Chen Qian, and it is impossible to completely take the lead by working with him.
But now that the matter was urgent, if he reported it directly, the impact would definitely not be as big as Lu Yu's.
Sharing the initiative with Lu Yu equally and letting him stand up to confront the Sima family is currently Wang Xiang's best solution.
And if you want to force Lu Yu to take the initiative, you can only take such a cruel move. If you don't bring it up today, we will die together. Even if you clarify that you have nothing to do with me, you don't support Guanqiu Jian at all, Sima Will the teacher believe you?
Can he promise not to kill you?
Betrayed allies, betrayed trust, and killed ministers indiscriminately.
Does Lu Yu dare to trust such a Sima family?
Wang Xiang is not afraid that Lu Yu will make the wrong choice.
Lu Yu looked at the ministers and said loudly: "The most important thing at the moment is not the Huainan matter."
"We still have to wait for the angel to return and report the matter truthfully in Huainan."
"The problems in the world now come from the selection of officials!"
"Since the official announcement of the Zhongzheng, the Zhongzheng has not been changed. There are many talented people in the wild, and there are not enough officials. This has led to many chaos today!"
"The indiscriminate killings by officials in Henan and the chaos among the people in Hebei are all because of this problem."
"I think China should be reformed."
"Today, the number of Zhongzheng officials is too small, and it is difficult to distinguish whether Zhongzheng officials are wise or not. They are judged by personal likes and dislikes. There are many injustices. I think it is not allowed to be judged by people, or by clans, for Shangshu Quan to select officials. "the great power"
When Lu Yu presented the complete Zhongzheng system to the ministers, the eyes of the ministers present were filled with light.
In fact, the initial birth of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system was actually a compensation for the official promotion system of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty's filial piety and integrity system made the right to promote talents fall into the hands of the local government. The local government controlled the quota of filial piety and integrity, and the nine-rank system Zhongzheng wanted to take back this power and received it from the temple. However, due to the disguised compromise, the clan politics became more and more powerful. In the end, it only focused on family status and ignored personal circumstances.
This is the result of developing step by step.
The result of this development was devastating to the Jin Dynasty, and to these people in the temple, it was very encouraging.
Ministers who can sit here can almost ensure that their clan is a famous family, even if it was not originally, just because they are sitting here now, they will be in the future.
This final result is not good for the middle and lower class aristocratic families, but for the people sitting here, this is great!
Generations of wealth and honor can even be selected directly through ministers, thus saving on assessments.
The ministers' hearts, which had calmed down because of the fifth-class title, suddenly became agitated.
The title is very important, but it can only be inherited by one person, but this innovation is different. Everyone in the family can benefit, everyone can stand out, and can get the title for the family. The combination of these two, That will be more fragrant!
“What Mr. Lu said makes sense!!”
At this time, Wang Xiang stood up first and said loudly.
The ministers suddenly realized, no wonder you all wanted to oppose Sima Zhao together just now. Was this the reason? !
Use this matter to force the Sima family to make concessions? !
The expressions of the ministers changed immediately.
"I think what Mr. Lu said is reasonable!"
Immediately, another minister stood up and said, "I think it's okay!"
Sima Zhao turned his head, and his vision suddenly went dark, because the minister who stood up was none other than Xun Yi, whom he trusted.
After the three people stood up, there was an uproar in the court.
Sima Zhao took a deep breath. This was what he was most worried about before. Unexpectedly, this happened.
But he was not afraid. These rebels ignored the etiquette of the temple, but he was a strong faction in the temple after all!
He frowned, and sure enough, the next moment, a minister stood up and said, "I don't think it's possible!"
The person who got up was Zhao Feng, the servant. He was the son of the late Taichang Zhao Zi. Zhao Zi was from Hanoi and had a very close relationship with the Sima family. Both sides advanced and retreated together. As his son, Zhao Feng was also a loyal supporter of Sima Shi. One of the confidants who obeys the Sima family's advice.
He said angrily at this moment: "How can there be any reason in the world to define clans?! Does someone who comes from a rich family must be a virtuous minister?"
"Which of these traitors, such as Wang Ling, Xia Houxuan, and Li Feng, does not come from a wealthy family?"
"If we rely solely on clans to recruit scholars, or even recruit them directly from the civil service, will we still be able to recruit truly talented people? They will definitely be incompetent people. This is something that is harmful to the world and must not be implemented!"
The ministers were silent.
Do they care?
Wang Xiang retorted: "Innovation is not to select scholars based on family status, but to select scholars fairly! In order to win over cronies, today's officials ignore talented people. There are so many talented people nowadays, and they are all excellent. It is difficult to Classify the good and bad, and determine the clan. Once the clan is established, there is no need to comment anymore. In this way, the Zongzheng officials only look at the talents of the virtuous. This is the real method of selecting virtuous people!"
"On the contrary, the original policy will cause the temple to recruit incompetent people, causing harm to the world!"
Zhao Feng looked at Wang Xiang and was furious.
Shameless old thief!
Can you say this? !
The Dingpin clan actually became a fair and equitable system? ?
Isn't this just a case of appointing officials purely based on whose family is powerful? !
Sima Zhao stretched out his hand and asked Zhao Feng, who was about to refute, to retreat to his position.
Sima Zhao strutted to the middle of the ministers, and then looked at Lu Yu in the distance.
"I don't allow it."
He finally gave up the gentle look in the past, and his face became very cold.
Naigong doesn't agree, what are you going to do?
This is Sima Zhao's confidence. My family is in charge of everything in the temple, but I just won't agree. What can you do? The army is in my hands, you want to rebel?
Do you really think I dare not kill someone?
Your official positions can be withdrawn at my request.
But they are all incompetent people. What do these conspiracies and tricks mean in front of my upright army?
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, but before he could speak, Wang Xiang loudly said again: "General! You are not a minister of the temple!"
"The important affairs of the temple are left to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the General!"
"Today, the general is seriously ill. I have informed the Queen Mother about this, and the Queen Mother said: Yes!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the officials immediately exploded.
