"The matter of rebellion will be left to General Wei to handle."
"But we still need our help with counter-insurgency supplies and the like."
In the Chancery, the ministers gathered here again.
This is a place where only ministers can appear, but at this moment, almost all the important officials of the court are here, and they understand each other tacitly.
The ministers are trying to gather all the government affairs in the Shangshu Taiwan. They want to escape from the circle of court discussions and leave all the governance power in the hands of the ministers. After all, neither the Queen Mother nor the emperor can enter the Shangshu. tower.
At this moment, the ministers began to discuss many issues such as spring planting, material distribution, and restoring the livelihood of the people in Hebei.
The ministers in the temple are very selfish, but they are not without talents.
In a short period of time, they came up with several feasible methods. After all, these people are the elites of the family.
When there is no strong conflict of interest with each other, their abilities are easily demonstrated.
Zheng Chong sat in the upper position, silent, like a wooden sculpture.
After the ministers discussed all the major matters to be done next, it finally became quiet again.
"The matter of the Zhongzheng system cannot be delayed any longer."
Wang Xiang suddenly spoke.
The ministers immediately looked at him.
Too many things happened in these days, and they didn't even have time to think about it.
Although they wanted to do it, they were hesitant and wondered if now was a good time.
Wang Xiang said seriously: "We must first determine the order for the clan."
The ministers looked at each other for a few times before asking: "Is now the time to do this?"
Wang Xiang spoke again and said: "The generals have made many contributions to the rebellion in various places. Their families can naturally be rated as high-ranking."
Upon hearing these words, the eyes of the ministers lit up.
They also understood Wang Xiang's thoughts. They looked at each other for a few times, and Gao Rou immediately said: "What Wang Xiang said makes sense."
Gao Rou narrowed her eyes, "The clans of Hu Zun, He Zeng, Chen Ben, Zhuge Dan and others should be decided first."
The ministers did not hesitate and nodded one after another.
"As it should be."
Sima Fu looked at everyone, and then said: "In addition to judging these people, we also have to pay attention to various things in Hebei. The tribes in Hebei are suffering, and we should help them."
"Yes! Yes!"
The ministers each expressed their thoughts.
While everyone was discussing, Gao Rou suddenly said: "The most important thing at the moment is His Majesty's matter."
"Your Majesty is young now, but he hangs out with eunuchs all day long. This is really heartbreaking. I think it is necessary to replace the eunuchs around His Majesty. We must select some talented and moral eunuchs and let them serve His Majesty. around."
"In addition, His Majesty's Huangmen officials must be moral people."
"After all, I serve His Majesty all day long. If I don't have talent and learning, how can I teach His Majesty well?"
"There are still many loose knights!"
Everyone immediately started talking, and then Gao Rou looked at Wang Xiang, "My lord, you are His Majesty's teacher, you should pay more attention."
Wang Xiang shook his head and looked at Sima Fu opposite, "I am just enlightening His Majesty. The Taifu is the emperor's teacher. Naturally, the Taifu should still be responsible for teaching His Majesty."
The ministers nodded again, deeply convinced.
Sima Fu did not refuse and said firmly: "I will teach your Majesty to be kind, so you don't have to worry."
The general is dead, so the problem of the Queen Mother must be solved.
Sima Fu said seriously: "The problem now is that Your Majesty is in the palace, which is extremely luxurious, and there are many eunuchs around Your Majesty. These people confuse Your Majesty and make Your Majesty have no intention of studying."
"I thought that the place where His Majesty would study could be located in Xuanwu Hall."
At this moment, the officials were shocked.
Gao Rou was overjoyed and wished she could hold Sima Fu's hand and toast him with a glass of wine.
Why didn't I think of that?
The Queen Mother is easy to deal with, but the emperor is difficult to deal with!
The Queen Mother had great trust and love for the Emperor. Every time she planned with the Queen Mother, this guy always did bad things.
But he couldn't help but prevent the two people from meeting. The emperor went to see his mother. This was filial piety. Who dared to let the emperor be unfilial? ?
However, if the place of study is set up in Xuanwu Hall outside the city, and more studies are arranged so that the emperor cannot go to Zhaoyang Hall frequently, it is not possible to directly let him live in Xuanwu Hall to study, and then let him return after a period of time. Tai Chi Hall doesn't give them any time to be alone together.
In this way, doesn’t the Queen Mother completely become her own person?
Gao Rou said loudly: "Taifu Gong is right. I think your majesty has extraordinary literary talent and extraordinary intelligence. He must be a wise king of the Wei Dynasty. We should pay more attention to him and not let him neglect his studies. He must be worthy of the late emperor."
"right!"
"That's how it should be!"
And Zhong Yu suddenly said: "Not only Your Majesty, but also the Queen Mother should be served by wise men."
"After the death of the general, many of his subordinates must be re-appointed. From these people, worthy people can be found to serve the Queen Mother."
He looked at Xun Yi beside him and said, "Xun Xu in your clan is pretty good."
Zheng Chong was sitting in the upper seat, listening to the officials talking about these things, and felt restless.
The current thoughts of the ministers are known to everyone.
They just want to completely ignore the emperor. They are even more extreme than Sima Shi. Why go to Xuanwu Hall to study? Do they want to drive the emperor out of the city? ?
Zheng Chong was so stupid, how could he dare to do this? ?
These ministers are not afraid of notoriety at all. Anyway, it is they who decide what is good and what is bad. As long as the ministers say it is good, it must be good.
They have no limits and no bottom line.
But Zheng Chong couldn't sit still. They were doing these things in their own name. People in the world would say that this was an order from Shangshutai, an order from Shangshu Ling Zheng Chong, but they would not say that it was negotiated by a group of ministers. of.
Zheng Chong doesn't like to stand out, but he doesn't like to take the blame either!
He cleared his throat, interrupted the discussion among the ministers, and said slowly: "These ideas are all very good, but we still have to put local affairs first. After the rebellion is suppressed, it will not be too late to do these things. Shangshutai said There’s a lot of things piling up and there’s no need to be distracted from doing them.”
"It would be bad after all if we are misunderstood by foreign troops."
Zheng Chong didn't say it clearly, but the officials knew who he was talking about.
Guanqiu Jian.
However, the officials were not worried about Guan Qiu Jian. After all, Guan Qiu Jian was supposed to be with them and designated his family as the second rank. He was crazy to continue to go against the officials!
Despite this, the key now is indeed local, and things in the palace should not be too impatient.
The internal meeting at Shangshutai ended in a hurry.
Wang Xiang looked at Gao Rou and Sima Fu who were chatting happily, but did not take the initiative to come forward.
It is best to leave the matter of disciplining the emperor to them.
This protégé of his is not that easy to deal with. Until now, he doesn't know how many trump cards he has hidden. If nothing else, just Zhong Hui is enough to make many people suffer. Even the courtiers don't know this. People have surrendered to the emperor.
Wang Xiang slowly walked towards the door, but there were many thoughts in his mind.
He has climbed to the position of the leader of the Nine Qings, and the only ones who can still dominate him in name are Gao Rou, Zheng Chong, Sima Fu, and Sima Zhao.
And if you want to deal with these people, you have to find an opponent for them.
It is unlikely that they will fight each other now.
Let the emperor have a good fight with them.
"Raja."
Suddenly someone called him, and Wang Xiang turned around. It was Xun Yi.
Xun Yi smiled and said: "My lord, if there is nothing urgent, why don't you follow me back home? I have prepared good wine at home."
Wang Xiang said: "Now I have to go to the palace to teach the emperor. I can only visit another day."
Xunyi immediately laughed and took Wang Xiang's hand. "This matter cannot be delayed. It cannot be delayed. The prince must teach him well!"
Wang Xiang chatted with him for a few more words and agreed to meet him another day.
Wang Xiang then went to the East Hall.
Cao Mao is waiting for him in the east hall.
Seeing Cao Mao, Wang Xiang frowned and sighed.
"Teacher? What happened?"
Wang Xiang signaled Zhang Hua to go out, and then said to Cao Mao in a low voice: "Your Majesty, we are discussing important matters in the Chancery today, and we talked about your Majesty's affairs."
Wang Xiang told Cao Mao truthfully what Sima Fu, Gao Rou and others said.
A trace of anger flashed in Cao Mao's eyes.
Even though he had known for a long time that these people were not good people, Cao Mao was still extremely angry when he heard that they were so eager to attack him.
The methods of these people are really more abominable than the generals. Master Sima has never thought of driving him out of the palace!
The majestic Emperor Wei couldn't even stay in the palace?
How audacious is this.
But the ministers were different from Sima Shi. They had nothing to be afraid of. They were not plotting to usurp the throne. They were all for the good of the emperor.
Sooner or later the emperor will understand their "good intentions".
Listening to what they mean, they want to completely imprison themselves, replace everyone around them, and even prevent themselves from meeting the Queen Mother.
Wang Xiang said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. There are veterans in the court, and we will never allow them to act recklessly!"
Cao Mao looked at his teacher with emotion.
Fortunately, there is this teacher. Presumably it was this teacher who took the initiative to bring up the matter of decentralization at the Shangshutai. Otherwise, they would not even have settled local affairs, so how would they have the energy to deal with these things?
His teacher really wanted to make progress, and Gao Rou, Sima Fu, Zheng Chong and others were all standing in his way.
So if you want to fight them to the death, it's best to drag one down and create an opening for him?
Cao Mao suddenly relaxed and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a smile.
"Very good!"
"With the teacher helping me, what do I have to worry about?"
"Then I will ignore it and leave these matters to the teacher!"
