"Hahaha, there are a few more talented people in the court!"
The ministers stood up with a smile and greeted the three new ministers.
In addition to Cao Yu and Xia Houxian, another minister appeared in front of everyone.
This person is none other than Wang Jing, the new Sili school captain.
Most of the people's eyes were focused on Cao Yu and Xia Houxian, but they were a little indifferent to the new Sili Colonel.
Wang Jing has dark skin and is not tall. He looks like a very serious and unsmiling person.
He came from a very low background, he was the son of a farmer.
When he was young, he followed his father to farm. During his break, he went to the Cui family in the same town to eavesdrop. Cui Lin admired this studious little guy, so he funded his studies and promoted him to an official position.
He read a lot of books, and soon became a famous scholar in the world, and his official position became bigger and bigger.
Later, he worked for Cao Shuang, and Cao Shuang asked him to take the cloth to the state of Wu to do business. Wang Jing was very dissatisfied, so he resigned and went home.
When Sima Yi came to power, he was activated again and became the prefect.
After Wang Xiang was promoted, Sima Shi promoted him to Sili Xiaowei.
Unfortunately, Master Sima died before others arrived.
Facing this close faction of the Sima family, the ministers would naturally not give him a good look.
Gao Rou was holding Cao Yu's hand with a smile, her eyes full of excitement.
"Your Majesty, we haven't seen each other for many years."
"Gao Gong"
Cao Yu is meek, which is both his shortcoming and his advantage. At least, his popularity among the officials is still very good.
The ministers treated him, the king of vassals, much more politely than they treated the emperor. He quickly blended in among the ministers and began to greet them. Xia Houxian stood in the distance and looked at them coldly. Not easy to get along with.
Not all the ministers gathered around them, Wang Xiang appeared next to Wang Jing at this moment.
"Yan Wei! A famous person in the country! I have long admired your name!"
Wang Xiang greeted with a smile.
Wang Jing hurriedly replied: "Don't dare. How dare you pretend to be a famous person in front of the prince?"
Speaking of reputation, Wang Jing's reputation is actually not bad. He and Xu Yun were called the two famous celebrities in Hebei.
If it weren't for his low background, he would have already held important positions in the court.
"You and I still have to move around more. I am very happy to know that you are here. It is not easy to be a lieutenant. I can introduce everyone in the house to you."
Wang Xiang showed great kindness to him.
Obviously, Wang Xiang fell in love with the person in front of him.
Wang Jing was a little indifferent, and his response to Wang Xiang was not very positive.
The ministers each sat down, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
At this moment, Sima Fu suddenly said: "I heard that your Majesty has been summoning regular servants all day long, drinking and having fun with them, and despising his studies. My lord, do you know about this?"
Wang Xiang quickly replied: "I don't know."
The atmosphere that had been lively just now suddenly became quiet, and the officials looked at Cao Yu and Xia Houxian.
It's like waiting for their reaction.
The smile on Cao Yu's face became a little embarrassed and he didn't dare to say anything more, but Xia Houxian on the side sneered.
"Is Grand Fu Gong taking too much care?"
"Your Majesty is going to meet with the regular attendant Sanqi. Do I still need to report to you?"
"What, are you going to discipline His Majesty in place of the General?"
Sima Fu laughed and said, "I am just worried about His Majesty's studies and have no other intentions."
He looked at Xin Chang and said seriously: "Mr. Xin, I have to trouble you to make a trip to the Protector General's place. We can't let the regular attendants affect His Majesty's studies."
At present, the ministers do not want the emperor to cause trouble, but the servants are running into the palace every day, sneaking around without knowing what they are doing, and the ministers are very afraid of this.
Xin Chang quickly agreed.
From beginning to end, they didn't take Xia Houxian seriously at all.
Xia Houxian was extremely angry. Seeing everyone ignoring him, he immediately stood up, turned around and left the chancellery.
The ministers did not seem to see him and remained motionless.
Cao Yu frowned but still didn't speak.
The meeting at the Chancellor's desk continued. Wang Jing sat among the ministers and looked at the people talking in front of him. Suddenly there was some disgust in his eyes.
When Yang Hu returned home, he heard conversations coming from the courtyard before he even entered the door.
Yang Hu hesitated, but still pushed the door open.
Sure enough, Xin Chang was sitting in the courtyard, surrounded by several servants holding wooden boxes. Yang Hu's wife was standing here, listening to the adults' teachings.
Seeing Yang Hu's arrival, Xin Chang's face was full of smiles, and he quickly stood up: "Uncle is here!"
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Meet the guard!"
Xin Chang feigned anger, "There are no outsiders here, so why should we be called officials? We should be called adults!"
Yang Hu reluctantly changed his words: "Greetings, sir."
"Come, come, sit down."
Xin Chang very gently asked Yang Hu to sit next to him, and started talking about the old things again. He talked about how much his sister admired Yang Hu and how she regarded Yang Hu as her biological child. To take care of.
Yang Hu sat respectfully beside him and listened to his story.
Yang Hu's wife also realized that Xin Wei had something to explain and left quickly.
"Uncle, you are in charge of the imperial guard in the palace, and I am guarding the palace. We are close relatives inside and outside, so we should have frequent exchanges. But these days, you rarely come to see me. This is why?"
"It's really complicated."
"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot. There are indeed many things going on in the palace. I heard that in the past few days, His Majesty has repeatedly summoned many knights to discuss important matters in the West Hall. Is this true?"
The corners of Yang Hu's eyes twitched, but he still replied seriously: "There is such a thing."
"Then do you know what they are discussing?"
"have no idea."
Xin Chang was silent for a moment and whispered: "Uncle, your Majesty is still young, and the ministers don't want things in the temple to disturb him."
"He still has to put his studies first, do you understand what I mean?"
Yang Hu said seriously: "I understand, you are right."
Xin Chang was overjoyed, but Yang Hu then said: "Let the prince teach your majesty."
The smile on Xin Chang's face suddenly solidified.
"Uncle, even though I am a guard, I can't step in to stop these scattered knights, but it's different with you. You don't even need to step forward, you just need to send some soldiers."
"Sir, the casual knight is supposed to be by your majesty's side. My duty is to protect your majesty. How dare I stop the knight?"
"It's not blocking, this is also protecting His Majesty from being deceived by others."
"Please forgive me, Sir, Sanqi wants to see His Majesty, and there is nothing I can do to stop him."
Xin Chang's face was a little sad, and he said again: "Uncle, the situation now is different from the past. You are a big family. I have already negotiated. This time, you must be a second-grade high-ranking sect. You will be promoted to a noble family." Within this year, I am planning to let you lead the Chinese army, which is a great future for you."
"You have studied for so many years and are proficient in government and military affairs, isn't it just to get promoted?"
Yang Hu looked at Xin Chang, "Sir, I don't think this classification is a good thing. Talents do not thrive based on clan, but clans thrive on talents. How can clan be used as the criterion for selecting officials in temples? Origin of clan Does it mean that a person is a virtuous person? This matter is very unfair to those who are not of high origin."
"If such a policy is implemented, within fifty years, there will be no soldiers, no ministers, no government, wise men will not be able to serve, both the government and the public will be mediocre, and the Wei Dynasty will surely perish."
Xin Chang had a straight face, and the tenderness in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
"Uncle, there are some things you shouldn't say carelessly."
"Wise men must come from classics, and classics must come from big families. It is also beneficial to the world to select talents based on big families."
Yang Hu shook his head again, "Sir, don't you think these policies are poisonous to quench thirst?"
"Not to mention anything else, if the punishment is not good enough for the doctor, if it is really implemented, how chaotic will the world be? The wealthy people act wantonly and feed the common people. Even if they kill people, they will not be punished. Today, it is only happening in Hebei If all these policies are implemented, I don’t know this kind of rebellion.”
"enough!"
Xin Chang interrupted Yang Hu. He stood up and his expression became cold.
"Uncle, you are still young and don't know the real truth. Your sister is not the only one in your clan."
"Sir, I am not saying this because of my sister, but for everyone. In this rebellion, a few of the big clan died? If the whole world is forced to rebel, can we still survive? Sir, when Qin Xing Tyranny caused the whole world to rebel, and then the Han Dynasty came into existence. The emperor at the end of the Han Dynasty was fatuous and forced the people to rebel again, leading to destruction. Can't we still learn these lessons?"
"The destructiveness of the policies to be implemented today even exceeds that of the original Emperor Huan and Ling Emperor."
"I can't imagine how big a rebellion will be if it breaks out in the future."
"snort!!"
Xin Chang snorted, rolled down his sleeves, turned around and left.
Yang Hu hesitated to speak and could only watch him leave.
After he left, Mrs. Xiahou walked out of the inner room and said, "Where is your Excellency? The food has not been served yet."
Yang Hu looked blankly in the direction Xin Wei left, his face full of confusion.
"No need to prepare."
"I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to eat this meal again."
Xiahou was shocked and said, "My dear, what happened?"
"Well, after all, the ways are different. Can't they even see it?"
"Why do you have to take things to this point?"
Yang Hu sighed, and Xiahou looked a little worried.
At this moment, a servant suddenly walked in.
"Master, I have a guest to see you."
Yang Hu took the famous assassination, and his eyes flashed with surprise again.
"Zhonghui??"
"What is he doing here?"
Yang Hu suddenly understood all this. No wonder His Majesty kept summoning Sanqi these days and made such a big noise. It turned out that he was waiting for me here.
He smiled bitterly and looked at his wife beside him, "You should continue preparing the meal. This meal will be shared with others."
