The day after the Dongtang banquet, the whole of Luoyang became a little different.
The two celebrities of the Xun family immediately became famous, and Sima Yan's story was also talked about by everyone.
The scholars suddenly realized that instead of letting others improve their reputation, why couldn't they improve it themselves? The rich water should not flow to outsiders, so all ethnic groups suddenly became chaotic and chaotic.
Under the impact of metaphysical thoughts, the control power of elders over younger generations has been greatly weakened.
Although the imperial students of the Wei Dynasty were also from aristocratic families, they had not given up their ambition to govern the world, probably because they were still young.
Scholars always have some higher pursuit, which is higher than their actual interests.
Scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were wild and despised etiquette. For Cao Mao, this was also an advantage that could be absorbed.
Although the ministers were not able to suppress them directly, they were indifferent to their advice. They were not afraid of these scholars. After all, they were just paying lip service to gain their reputation.
What they really care about is world affairs.
Counterinsurgency in various places was very smooth. After the reinforcements arrived in Hebei, they were also in a state of overwhelming power. The rebels fled in all directions and were unable to resist.
What dissatisfied the courtiers was Hu Zun, the governor of Qingxu.
The situation in Xuzhou is very strange. Large-scale turmoil occurred in Hebei. Therefore, many counties were breached and wealthy families suffered. It is understandable that the wealthy families suffered.
However, not many county towns in Xuzhou have been breached. The overall destructive power is very limited, and the number of wealthy families that can be breached is actually no less than that in Hebei.
It was as if these traitors suddenly appeared, and then only focused on massacring the wealthy families in Xuzhou.
This just doesn't make sense.
Even Qingzhou was affected. Fortunately, Shi Bao, who was in charge of Qingzhou, took action in time to avoid the same situation in Qingzhou.
By this time, the officials finally confirmed their guess.
This matter has nothing to do with the general.
There have been many rebellions in various places in Hebei. If something like this happened, no one would think much about it. But how could it be like this in Henan? Things were very peaceful in the past, and this is even more so in Xuzhou. The traitors in your family are just targeting the rich clan to kill them, right? No offense to the common people? ?
Thinking of the close relationship between Hu Zun and Sima Shi, the ministers immediately confirmed their guess.
It's just that it's useless for them to confirm.
Unless we can win over the generals from outside, how can we fall out with Sima Zhao?
The two sides simply cannot start a war. Once a fight starts, it will be a dead end and both sides will suffer.
At this moment, Wang Xiang didn't pay attention to these things at all. Instead, he was very happy that the officials could be distracted by this matter.
At this moment, he held a meeting in his mansion.
Those who were close to him came here.
At first glance, his power cannot be underestimated.
"Everyone, the Zhongzheng system of Shangshutai has been delayed for a long time. Many ministers of Shangshutai have begun to forget their original ideas and are fighting for power and gain all day long. This is extremely inappropriate."
"I don't mean to be disrespectful to you, it's just that I don't agree with their behavior."
Wang Xiang said seriously.
Chen Qian, Zheng Miao, Wang Jing, Cui Zan, Wang Guan and others sat on both sides, listening to his words.
"Shang Shutai has stopped doing things, but we can no longer let it go. I am ready to do these things myself."
After Sima Shi's death, a vacuum appeared in the supreme power, causing chaos. This will bring many crises, but it is also a good opportunity.
Wang Xiang sees hope in today's chaos, and he is ready to take over this mess and solve these things.
Everyone present had different expressions.
The mess in the temple today is not easy to solve. The complexity of the situation is far beyond everyone's expectation.
Apart from anything else, Sima Zhao, the biggest unstable factor, is extremely difficult to solve.
Everyone understands what Wang Xiang means, but can it be done?
Chen Qian looked at everyone and spoke first.
"I think what the prince said is reasonable. Since the death of the general, nothing has been accomplished in Shangshutai. It is really shameful to be hampered by people like Zhong Hui. I am willing to take care of these important things."
Chen Qian originally had this character, and after he spoke, Cui Zan also spoke: "Today's chaos must be calmed down. Those who made big mistakes in the past must also pay the price!"
Then Wang Guan nodded in support.
Wang Xiang laughed, and it was enough to get approval from these people.
People like Gao Rou and Sima Fu simply didn't notice that the situation today was different from the past.
This is not the era of great generals, but the era of the aristocratic family that he single-handedly created.
In today's era, it is simply unbelievable that we are still using the methods of the past to try to avoid trouble and let others do it for us.
Today's leader of ministers is not through inheritance, but through his own ability.
At this time, how can you be afraid of trouble? They should take the initiative to solve everything. The ministers will definitely choose the most capable person who can bring the greatest benefits to take charge of the chancellery.
Seeing that Gao Rou and others were indifferent, Wang Xiang had the idea to take the initiative to do something.
After successfully convincing his faction, Wang Xiang asked them to go back and get ready, while he took a car to the palace.
Wang Xiang squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
When he arrived at the East Hall, the emperor was already waiting here.
Looking at the respectful Cao Mao in front of him, Wang Xiang felt very complicated inside.
No matter what aspect you look at, this disciple of yours is the best, and no other disciple can compare with him.
There is almost no fault in his talent for classics, his respect for teachers, and even his attitude toward others.
It would be great if he was not the emperor.
Wang Xiang sighed again.
If Cao Mao was just an ordinary member of the clan, Wang Xiang would definitely train him as a confidant, marry the best girl in the clan to him, and spend all his resources to pave the way for him.
It's a pity that he is an emperor.
The better he performs, the greater the threat to his ministers.
Wang Xiang looked at his protégé and felt proud in his eyes when he thought of what he had done these days.
Others don't know, but Wang Xiang knows that Zhong Hui has been His Majesty's for a long time, and what Zhong Hui does these days must be His Majesty's instruction.
What an excellent emperor. First he used his ministers to suppress the Sima family, and now he created chaos. In order to suppress the ministers, he even had a certain ability to fight back.
When he first arrived in Luoyang, he had no relatives in the world.
To be able to reach this point is really shocking.
This is my disciple.
Wang Xiang sighed, and the pride in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
His face turned serious.
What a dangerous enemy this is.
If you relax a little, you will be deceived by his harmless appearance, and you will die without knowing how.
Too many ministers have fallen into his hands.
In the new era, there is no place for such an ambitious young emperor. In the new era, power must come from three sources, and the emperor can only enjoy the role of governing the world.
An emperor with such ambitions and means would stand in the way of the new era and become a being that must be overthrown.
Wang Xiang knew in his heart that he would soon be facing off against his proud disciple.
The two sides can still maintain a harmonious relationship now because there are still Gao Rou, Sima Fu and others.
Once these people bow to themselves, the next step will be a duel between themselves and this proud disciple.
The one who wins can start a new era.
Wang Xiang is still very confident in himself. On his side are the entire world's elites.
This is a power that no emperor dares to ignore.
In the beginning, even as strong as Emperor Guangwu, he had to bow to this power, but after so many strengthenings, no one can suppress him, not even Sima Master, nor the young emperor.
"teacher?"
Cao Mao interrupted Wang Xiang's contemplation.
Wang Xiang woke up quickly and sat down with Cao Mao's support.
"Your Majesty, let's start teaching first."
"only."
Wang Xiang suddenly said: "I heard that Your Majesty and many famous people asked about the reasons for the loss of morality of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty?"
Cao Mao nodded, "That's true."
Wang Xiang's expression was very serious, and he said: "I have heard different opinions."
"Teacher, please speak."
Wang Xiang then said: "I heard what the wise man said: The ancient Han Dynasty never lost virtue, and those who lost virtue were the kings."
"Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, Zhou You, Er Er, Haihun, Huan Ling, it is because of their stupidity that the world has changed. This is not because the dynasty has lost its virtue, but because the king has lost his virtue."
"Your Majesty, these dynasties prospered because of wise kings, and they perished because of stupid kings."
"The affairs of the world are like this. A wise king governs the world, and a weak king loses his virtue. Just as you said at the beginning, Shaokang defeated Gaozu."
Cao Mao said oh and just looked at his teacher calmly.
Wang Xiang continued: "Your Majesty, the sage said: The prosperity of a dynasty rests on one person. This is the reason why all dynasties fall. If all ministers work together to rule the world, and the emperor listens to their advice and serves the country with peace of mind, then Things have changed.”
"Even if a king loses his virtue, but the dynasty does not change, the king and his ministers will work together, and the world will be governed, this will benefit all the people and the emperor."
"The sages who govern the world believe that the best way to govern the world is that one person's selfish desires must not harm the world."
"A wise king has the country in mind and should not cause chaos in the world and cause suffering to the people because of his own selfish desires. The wisdom of one person is ultimately no better than the wisdom of the world."
"What do you think of this wise man, Your Majesty?"
Wang Xiang looked at his disciple at this moment.
There was no anger on Cao Mao's face, he was even a little happy.
"This idea is really right. I agree with this statement."
"Oh? Your Majesty, it's true."
"However, I think this wise man's idea is not yet ready for implementation."
