Lu Zhi found that since the death of the general, the eloquence of the officials was getting better and better.
Not only eloquence, but also courage suddenly appeared. Everyone became upright, brave, and impressive.
Those who had followed Wang Su with their heads down in the past were actually trying to summon the ministers to force him away.
Facing the trembling general, Sima Yu wanted to drive away the emperor.
People who dare not raise their heads when they hear the word "general" actually want to support the general at this moment?
Lu Zhi was very disappointed with the current ministers, and his face was full of helplessness.
He has always felt that these things in the temple are meaningless. His thoughts are actually somewhat similar to Wang Guan's. He believes that we should focus on practical matters and calm down the chaos in the temple as soon as possible without delaying the official business.
This time the ministers came to his mansion, mainly because the ministers dared to compete for power, but they did not dare to discuss the matter in their own mansion.
Want to steal meat, but afraid of getting beaten.
Guo Zhang found Lu Zhi and complimented him, saying that he was the hope of all ministers now and that he wanted to gather in his house to discuss important matters.
If anyone else said that, Lu Zhi would definitely drive him out.
But Guo Zhang is different. Guo Zhang is Guo Huai's nephew.
When Lu Zhi was still very young, Guo Huai served as the governor of Yongzhou. Guo Huai valued this young man very much, so he recommended him as Xiaolian and promoted him to the rank of doctor.
Strictly speaking, Lu Zhi is an old official of the Guo family.
Although Guo Huai is no longer here, Lu Zhi still remembers his past kindness towards his nephew.
However, compared to Guo Huai, this nephew's performance was really unbearable. Lu Zhi couldn't help but shake her head after hearing his thoughts.
At this moment, Lu Zhi could no longer remain calm when she heard Xin Chang say something even more explosive.
“Mr.
He said seriously: "This is the way to die."
"Your Majesty values you very much, so just stay in your position and don't participate in the temple's conspiracy. If you don't know anything, you may be able to save your life."
Lu Zhi said and stood up to see off the guests.
He will never tangle with these people again, he is simply crazy!
Still supporting a general? ? Why don't you just establish a new emperor?
He understood what these people were thinking. The emperor now exercised the power of appointing and removing personnel unscrupulously, and replaced people with great fanfare, but did not ask the thoughts of the ministers. The ministers were extremely dissatisfied with this, but the three ministers were vacant, and no one could challenge the emperor. They just wanted to Create a general to restrain the emperor.
They really dare to think! !
We can't hang out with these people anymore. If we continue to hang out together, sooner or later the three races will be in danger!
Lu Zhi impatiently sent Xin Chang out as if driving him away.
Standing outside the door, Xin Chang looked at the door in front of him with a wry smile. It seemed that he had to avoid these people for a while.
The next day, at dawn, Cao Mao had already driven away from the palace.
Tonight's banquet in the East Hall cannot be delayed, and before the banquet, he has to visit someone.
When Cao Mao suddenly appeared in the Washington Mansion, Hua Biao panicked and hurriedly asked someone to open the door of the mansion and forcibly took his son out to meet him.
Huabiao, who was promoted to Zhongshu Supervisor, has become one of the leaders of the ministers.
If we can add a third Duke, a Situ or a Taiwei to record the secretarial affairs, then he will be a veritable prime minister of the Wei Dynasty.
Hua Biao was very satisfied with his current life. He also became the emperor's most loyal minister. In just a few days, he had taken charge of the Central Publishing House and cleaned it up from top to bottom. He placed key positions in key positions. They were all replaced by their own people.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty~~~"
Hua Biao spoke in a very long voice, but still did not get rid of the habit of serving as a servant, and almost delivered the greeting speech in the tone of reading out an imperial edict.
Cao Mao helped him up with a smile and said with emotion: "In these days, the edicts I issued have not been delayed at all. They can reach the hands of the ministers in time and the government orders are smooth. This is all because of your credit! "
"With you at the Central Book Desk, I can rest easy!"
Hearing these words, Huabiao suddenly felt a little ashamed.
He hesitated and was somewhat speechless.
Zhongshutai's performance in the past few days has been very impressive, but well, this actually has little to do with Huabiao. It can be said that it has basically nothing to do with it.
Zhongshu was the core organization for formulating imperial edicts in the Wei Dynasty. Their work was always misunderstood as simply writing edicts and then sending them out.
But this specific work was obviously not that simple. When Cao Mao issued the edict, he did not mean to write it himself. He wanted to inform Zhongshu of his ideas, and Zhongshu would complete the task of formulating and issuing it.
How to correctly understand the emperor's meaning, how to use the most concise language to express the edict accurately and prevent it from being misunderstood, how to reduce the resistance of officials to the edict, and how to correctly delegate the edict to the hands of designated personnel. , this is not easy.
If you don't have the ability, you really can't do this. You have to worry about misunderstanding the emperor's meaning, and you also have to worry about the officials finding trouble. The power is great, but the responsibility is also great. If there is a problem with the edict, you have to go to Zhongshu Ling. He and Zhong Shujian came to take the blame.
But in the past few days, Cao Mao issued several edicts, including personnel appointments, removals, transfers, and some policy adjustments. Zhongshu Tai completed them well.
Cao Mao looked at Hua Biao in front of him and praised him a few more times. Hua Biao finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Your Majesty, this is not the fault of the veteran minister."
"Oh? How could you say that?"
Hua Biao then explained: "I have always despised Mr. Zheng, but now I have learned that his reputation for being good at understanding people is not just talk. The Weijun he recommended is extremely talented. Everything about Zhongshutai is... He is taking care of things and is not delaying.”
Hua Biao is actually not very talented in his own right.
Cao Mao had already thought that Wei Guan would be the one to play a role.
The reason why he didn't specify it was because he wanted to see if Huabiao could continue to be reused in the future.
Although Huabiao showed great loyalty, in governing the world, one should not only look at loyalty, but also on ability. If Huabiao would take away the credit of his subordinates, it would mean that this person is not suitable for a high position. You can find someone else in the future. Come and replace him.
But now Huabiao told the truth, well, even if his own talents are insufficient, he may not be jealous of his subordinates' talents and take the initiative to take credit for them, this person can still be used.
When Cao Mao asked Zheng Mian to serve as Minister of Civil Affairs and replace many officials, Huabiao expressed doubts.
Cao Mao asked Zheng Miao to recommend someone to assist Huabiao, and Zheng Miao recommended the young Wei Guan.
Wei Guan came from a wealthy family. His great ancestor Wei Hao was a famous Confucian scholar during the Ming Dynasty of the Han Dynasty.
However, Wei Guan, like many of the capable ministers around Cao Mao, had unfortunate childhood experiences. He lost his father at the age of ten and began to live an independent life at an early age. He was praised by others when he was young, thinking that this son must be great.
Cao Mao felt as if he had discovered the common characteristics of capable ministers. They were also from a wealthy family, but those who had a smooth life and lived under the protection of adults were almost all the same. On the contrary, it was those who had lost shelter since childhood and were independent. A great achievement.
Wei Guan was different from the other people who were praised. He became a minister at the age of twenty, and his start was no less impressive than Zhong Hui's.
The Chancellor's Desk has to do practical things. This is not a place where ordinary people can sneak in. Afterwards, he went to various important positions to hone his skills and served as General Secretary and Zhongshu Lang. He transferred almost all the agencies that dealt with practical things. He went through it once, which laid the foundation for him to become a capable minister.
If it weren't for Cao Mao's change, he should be valued by Sima Zhao at this moment and become a regular attendant of the emperor.
This man has been very vigorous all his life. He became a servant at the age of forty, and then became a nine minister. Although he is a little different from a forty-year-old who became a third official, he has a lot of practical experience and is both civil and military.
Later, Zhong Hui rebelled, and it was this person who came forward to pacify Yizhou, but did not accept the reward. During the Sima Yan period, he solved the Xianbei problem for temples in the northeast.
It's a pity that he was killed unjustly in the end. It is said that this person originally opposed Sima Zhong's rise to power, thus offending Jia Nanfeng.
This man was fair and talented, and most importantly, Cao Mao knew that he was the first official in the Wei and Jin Dynasties to report to Sima Yan and demand the abolition of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.
He believed that such an official selection system would destroy the foundation of the temple. It was only a temporary measure and should not be continued.
This can also explain why he died so miserably. It is worth mentioning that Wei Jie, one of the four most beautiful men in ancient times, was the grandson of Wei Guan.
This young man can still be reused. He is much more stable than Zhong Hui.
However, Cao Mao came this time not for Wei Guan.
Cao Mao looked at Hua Ai, who was also kneeling beside him, maintaining a saluting posture.
He came here for Hua Yao this time.
There are really many talented people in An Shi's hands!
There were obviously many talents, but none of them had a good end, including the Hua Lao in front of him. He was the minister of Anshi in history. He was an upright man and did not disobey the powerful.
Jia Nanfeng wanted to marry one of his relatives to Hua Yao's grandson, but Hua Yao directly insulted him, saying that he was unwilling to join in the conspiracy.
Since then, he has continued to suffer retaliation from Jian Nanfeng. Until his death, he was not allowed to join the Taisi or become a third official.
He was obviously among the best in rank and ability, but he was unwilling. In the end, he could not withstand the pressure of the ministers and gave him the title of "Yitong Sansi".
Cao Mao looked at Hua Yao with a smile and asked: "Hua Jun, you have made such great achievements this time, why are you unwilling to come to see me?"
Hua Yao raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have no virtue. What happened before was all because of my father's orders. I have never made any meritorious deeds, so I really can't afford your Majesty's attention."
"I am here this time to give you a chance to make great achievements."
"I have an edict, please follow it!"
