"Your Majesty, I am not guilty."
When Guo Pei was brought to Cao Mao, he was much tougher than everyone before.
Even though he was tied up, there was no trace of panic on his face.
He raised his head and looked at Cao Mao with a look that was not rude but definitely not respectful.
This surprised even Cao Mao. Does this guy have any trump cards that he doesn't know about?
He glanced at Zhang Hua beside him, and Zhang Hua reacted immediately.
"Mr. Guo, the prince was assassinated, and the dead man said he was a member of your palace and was sent by you to carry out the assassination. Don't you have anything to say?"
Guo Pei's eyes were full of confidence.
The dead soldiers were sent by him, but he believed that these dead soldiers trained by the Guo family would never betray him.
His original purpose was to save Wang Xiang, and he never ordered the assassination of Wang Xiang.
Wang Xiang's death has nothing to do with him, but it is probably because of the emperor.
He immediately said forcefully: "I can confront these thieves face to face. This must be a frame-up!"
"The prince and I have no grievances, so why would we want to kill him? On the contrary, some people who are not easy to attack may actually attack him."
Zhang Hua and the emperor looked at each other, both looking hesitant.
Cao Mao did not continue to talk to him. With a wave of his hand, he asked the soldiers to lead Guo Pei down.
After he left, Cao Maofang asked: "Where does this person get his confidence? He is not afraid at all?"
Zhang Hua pondered for a moment, "Guo Pei is not an incompetent mediocrity. Maybe he made some arrangements in advance?"
Cao Mao shook his head, "Send him to Tingwei and let him stay. By the way, Mao will go check it out to see what other plans this person has."
Zhang Hua accepted the order and immediately left the Tai Chi Hall.
Cao Mao read a few more memorials. Probably because of Wang Xiang's incident, the officials did not have much opinion on the recent personnel transfers.
After reading the memorial, Cao Mao ordered Cheng Ji to prepare his car and left Tai Chi Hall.
As soon as the carriage drove out of the palace, it met Sima Yan who was waiting for Cao Mao.
Sima Yan quickly broke into Cao Mao's carriage and sat down beside him unceremoniously.
"Why did your Majesty come out just now?"
Cao Mao shook his head, "I was delayed by some chores."
"We have to speed up a little bit, otherwise there won't be many people."
Cao Mao ordered Cheng Ji to speed up, and then asked: "How are you doing with what I asked you to do?"
Sima Yan was full of confidence, "Of course it is very successful. Your Majesty, have you seen my above report? There are not many of these imperial students nowadays who can treat menstruation with peace of mind. Those who take powder take powder, and those who drink alcohol drink. Anyway, it’s just not doing its job properly.”
"I have been to Taixue several times, and in your name I have rewarded those students who study hard and don't have fun."
"It's a pity that the money you gave me is too little."
Sima Yan changed the topic, "Which of the students in the Imperial College is from a poor background? They are all children of rich families, and those rewards are not as good as a few meals from others!"
"When I was giving the reward, I felt blushing, for fear that I would be looked down upon by them."
Cao Mao couldn't help laughing.
Sima Yan was not wrong. In history, this guy fought against his own ministers for wealth and lost.
Although the officials of Wei Dynasty are poor, the wealthy people are extremely rich. As for the emperor's rewards, they may not really take them seriously.
Cao Mao said: "What matters is not the size of the reward, but who rewards it. How can receiving a gift from the emperor be compared to money?"
Sima Yan said no more.
If Cao Mao wants to change the Wei Dynasty, he must improve his thinking.
The atmosphere of the Wei Dynasty was very bad, decadent, reclusive, passive, and hedonistic. The rulers of the Wei and Jin Dynasties finally achieved all this through their persistent efforts. Officials in the world would be so miserable. First, it was the assessment method. When something goes wrong, secondly, there is something wrong with your thinking.
Cao Mao could leave the reform of the system to the ministers, but he still thought that he would have to contribute more to the ideological reform.
Taixue in the Wei Dynasty can be said to be the most important place for exchange of ideas in the Wei Dynasty.
A lot of scholarship was born and spread here, and many big names like to spread their knowledge in Taixue. Wang Su and Zheng Chong have publicly lectured in Taixue many times.
Therefore, Taixue was an important base for Cao Mao to transform his thoughts on the world.
Cao Mao had previously sent Sima Yan to Taixue to help him see the situation in Taixue, including the doctors who taught scriptures and many students, and by the way, he rewarded some students who could give them important responsibilities.
Sima Yan did it very simply. He directly wrote down what he saw and heard in Taixue as a diary, or travelogue.
He recorded many things he saw after entering Taixue, and even wrote down his conversations, and then handed this thing to the emperor as a watch.

If something like this was given to other emperors instead of Cao Mao, he would be beheaded as a crime of disrespect.
Whose minister wrote the table like this! ?
You don’t care at all about the format and rules of this thing.
Although this watch is a bit crude, Cao Mao is still very satisfied. At least there is not much embellishment or deliberate concealment. The main thing is a sincere and generous person, which is very suitable for An Shi.
From his above table, even though Cao Mao has never been to Taixue, he already has some knowledge of it.
The Imperial Academy of the Wei Dynasty was re-established from the time of Emperor Wen. It mainly imitated the system of the Later Han Dynasty. Part of it was to recruit older and virtuous people to teach Confucian classics, and part of it was to recruit young boys to study Confucian classics and enlighten them.
To put it simply, it is graduate students and middle school students.
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was no rigid age requirement for imperial education. This was also a compromise with the wealthy families.
The two chatted all the way, and the carriage hurriedly arrived in front of the Imperial Academy Gate.
The two got out of the car together.
The Imperial College in Luoyang is not as lively and noisy as the Imperial College in Chang'an. Except for some fierce intellectual battles, the rest of the time, it is extremely quiet here.
The carriage stopped at the door, and no one came to pay attention.
You can even see many private carriages coming in and out. Cao Mao is dressed in casual clothes and looks noble. He is protected by a group of soldiers, but this is nothing in Taixue. The same is true for the rich disciples in Taixue.
"When you enter here, I will be your brother. You must not reveal my identity."
Cao Mao ordered.
Sima Yan immediately walked in with Cao Mao.
It can be seen that Emperor Wen worked very hard for Taixue. The buildings of Taixue are exceptionally majestic. The scale of Taixue is huge. The roads leading to various places are extremely smooth and neat, with trees on both sides. In the distance, You can also see rockery berths and attic pavilions everywhere, which is quite refined.
However, looking at such a huge Taixue building complex, we can't see many people.
It was very quiet here, with a few carriages coming in and out occasionally, but other than that, no one could be seen.
Cao Mao said with a straight face. Since the time of King Qi, Taixue has become a gilded place. It has no longer cultivated any real talents, and the teaching style has become more and more abstract, opening a new teaching model in which people are not present and names are present. .
Many people just have a name in Taixue and don't come here to take a second look on weekdays. In the Later Han Dynasty, students had to live in Taixue, but now, there is no hard standard.
Historically, Sima Yan later established the Guozixue, recruiting only the children of wealthy families, and "popularizing" the Imperial Academy. Of course, these civilians were definitely not real civilians, but just civilians compared to the wealthy families.
Cao Mao looked around, his eyes full of helplessness.
Just from such a Taixue, he could almost see the temples of the Wei Dynasty in the future.
The imperial students of the Wei Dynasty were even more radical than the old ministers. They did not lose their fighting spirit and were not completely decadent. However, they were also greatly influenced by the metaphysics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. They admired the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest who did nothing and did nothing. A person who spends his days eating and drinking, living a shabby life, completely overindulging, and ignoring etiquette.
Cao Mao followed Sima Yan around Taixue several times, but he didn't see many people who were actually studying.
This Taixue is not called Taixue, but rather a "library". Some people come here to borrow books and read them, as well as the doctors of classics established in the temple. These people also pay more attention to the teaching affairs of Taixue. of neglect.
Cao Mao felt that it was necessary to revitalize the atmosphere of Taixue. He brought many celebrities to Taixue several times to enliven the atmosphere here, or held more debates, even if it was just by making noise, he had to hype up Taixue. , let this place exude vitality again.
Just when Cao Mao was following Sima Yan to visit the collection of books in Taixue, a man hurriedly walked out and bumped into Cao Mao.
"Bold!!"
Just in a moment, a large group of people suddenly jumped out from inside and outside and pushed the man directly to the ground.
Cao Mao frowned and looked at the suppressed person with anger in his eyes.
The person who was pinned down was about forty years old. He was trembling all over and his face was pale. At first glance, he looked like a senior fusan enthusiast like Pei Xiu.
Cheng Ji found no sharp weapons on him, so he pulled him up.
"Do you want to die?"
The man was still trembling, with sweat on his forehead. He looked at Cao Mao and said tremblingly: "I didn't mean to offend. I'm not feeling well. I hope you can forgive me."
Cao Mao frowned and warned: "In this place of Taixue, it is best not to accept it. You are so good-looking, how could you do such a ridiculous thing."
The man looked at Cao Mao blankly, and then spoke again: "Please don't blame me, sir. I am seriously ill and can't hear in my ears."
Cao Mao was stunned and looked at the man in front of him again.
Sima Yan sighed, his eyes full of pity, "Disabled man, Your Majesty, since this person is unintentional, please don't make things difficult for him anymore."
Cao Mao didn't say anything, but asked someone to get paper and pen, and asked Sima Yan to write: "I don't know your name?"
The man saw the letter and saluted again.
"Your Excellency, Huang Fumi, was rude just now. I hope you won't blame me."
At this moment, Cao Mao trembled all over.
It's you! !
