Shi Bao originally thought that coming to Luoyang this time was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and he might be able to replace Hu Zun.
But he never expected that the officials in Qingzhou would give him such a surprise as soon as he left.
If Zang Ai conspired to rebel alone, he could still withstand it, but if everyone in Qingzhou rebelled, then he, the fierce general who was the governor of Qingzhou, would not be able to escape.
When Xun Yi pointed the finger at himself, Shi Bao didn't even have the courage to refute.
If I had known this, why would I have left Qingzhou?
If he waits for Sun Yu and others to come to discuss rebellion and capture them all, wouldn't he be safe?
And Shi Bao knew very clearly how capable the so-called talents in Qingzhou were.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the times seemed to have returned to the pre-Qin period. Officials had almost become hereditary. Under the Zhongzheng system, it didn't matter whether you were talented, famous, or moral.
As long as you have a great father, you can be an official.
When Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others conquered Qingxu, their descendants will continue to conquer Qingxu. When Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Wang Lang Huaxin and others occupied the temple, their descendants will continue to occupy the temple.
These officials in Qingzhou want them to lead troops to fight against Hu Zun. There is no need to guess the consequences. Hu Zun's failure to put down the rebellion within a month is considered incompetent!
Such good military achievements were simply fed to Hu Zun's mouth.
At this moment, Shi Bao had no time to envy Hu Zun's luck. He tremblingly bowed to the emperor, confessed his crime again, and asked the emperor to punish him.
Cao Mao looked at the many ministers in front of him with a straight face.
"Mr. Taiwei, this turmoil must end as soon as possible!"
Zhuge Dan stood up and accepted the order.
Cao Mao left the court meeting very unhappy. The officials' faces were very ugly, and they left in groups.
Regarding Sun Yu's behavior, the officials also had different ideas.
Some were angry, some were sympathetic, some were chuckling, and some were silent.
When Cao Mao returned to Tai Chi Hall, Sima Yan was waiting for him anxiously.
"Your Majesty! Something big has happened!"
"Don't panic."
Cao Mao comforted him and then led him into the west hall. After sitting down, Sima Yan continued: "Your Majesty, someone posted a lot of messages in the Imperial College. I have led my people to surround the Imperial College!"
"There are actually people in this academy who want to do harm to you!!"
Cao Mao glanced at him, "You only know now?"
"ah??"
"Not to mention in Taixue, even in this temple, I don't know how many people want to do harm to me."
Sima Yan was very surprised, "How could they do this?!"
"Don't worry about these people, and there is no need to surround Tai Xue."
Cao Mao said calmly: "These are not important. We cannot let these things delay our business."
"Business?"
"Yes, officials are the biggest business nowadays."
"Anshi, if you want to chop down a big tree, you have to sharpen the ax first. To do anything, you have to sharpen the tool first. This is the first step."
"If you want to govern the world, aren't officials the first step? You see, today's governors are not top-notch ministers, but they are already above average in terms of personal ethics and talents. They are already The most powerful local official in the Wei Dynasty."
"With these governors in place, the following policies can be well implemented."
Cao Mao almost selected local officials based on the Book of Jin and the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms. He was looking for people who had proven themselves. Although they were all generals, Cao Mao could despise the general's character, but he could not despise his vision.
After all, the general wanted to change their property capital, and he also didn't want local officials to be a bunch of bad people, so the people he promoted and appreciated must be the most suitable people.
Of course, you can only trust Sima Zhao and forget about the people recommended and promoted by Sima Anshi.
Cao Mao's employment is comparable to that of the generals, Sima Zhao, and Sima Yan.
Those who the general likes can be promoted together; those who Sima Zhao likes can be promoted as appropriate; those who Sima Yan likes can be dismissed as appropriate; those who were promoted in his later years can be directly pulled out and beheaded.
Sima Yan nodded, "Then what should we do next?"
"The governor has made arrangements, so naturally he has to arrange for the prefect."
"Local officials like Zang Ai, Huang Huan, Cheng Xi, and Sun Yu cannot be let go."
"And the Wei Dynasty is not without capable ministers. I have searched for a long time and found the governors Wu Guan, Ren Yi, Mu Bing, Yin Bao, Xian Yu Si, Huan Yu, Huang Mu, Jie Xiu, Zhang Xiu, Ding Zun, etc. They They are all talented, capable and moral people.”
"Zhong Shiji's assessment method will be implemented this year, and the assessment will begin at the end of the year. By then, promotions will be made based on the assessment results."
"Those who are outstanding in the assessment of the township will be promoted to other counties, and those who are outstanding in the assessment of the county will be promoted to other counties."
Sima Yan listened very carefully and said excitedly: "If we implement this, one day, the Wei Dynasty will surely be full of two thousand stones! Local officials will govern the Qingming Festival!"
Cao Mao smiled. In theory, it was as Sima Yan said, but it was not easy to achieve this result.
Cao Mao is not afraid of making any mistakes. No matter how bad he is, can he still be as bad as he is now?
Cao Mao took Sima Yan's hand and whispered: "So we need officials very much, and the Imperial Academy is the one we need to pay the most attention to."

"However, in today's Imperial College, the reputation of doctorate recipients is empty, and students are not interested in studying, for fear that they will not be able to shoulder the important responsibilities."
"I want you to be in charge of the Imperial Academy."
"Ah I??"
Sima Yan retreated subconsciously. The people in Taixue are all the most accomplished people in the world in Confucian classics. You want me to be in charge of Taixue? ? I can't even understand what they are saying.
Cao Mao said seriously: "Don't be afraid, I am not asking you to argue with them."
"It's very simple to ask you to supervise. If a student leaves without asking for leave, then he will be dismissed. If there is a doctor who delays his work, then he will be dismissed. Were you forced to study when you were young?"
Sima Yan nodded, "Yes."
"Well, let's do it this way. Just supervise their studies, rectify the atmosphere of Taixue, and cultivate more talented people for me!"
Sima Yan said hesitantly: "Isn't it easy to offend others?"
"Every one of those people in Taixue is the son of an important minister."
"That's why I let you go."
"Your father is General Wei. Why are you afraid of the son of an important official? Which important official has a higher status than your father?!"
"If they are rude to you, just arrest them and beat them!"
"Don't be so timid. Your grandfather is a great scholar of Confucian classics, your father is a general of Wei, your uncle is a former general, your cousin-in-law is the emperor, and you yourself are still a lieutenant general. What are you afraid of?"
"Taixue used to be under the jurisdiction of Taichang Mansion. Your grandfather was Taichang when he was there, and there were still many old subordinates here. They will not make things difficult for you."
After listening to his words, Sima Yan hesitated and touched his chin, "Isn't this a bit bullying?"
"If you go to Imperial College and excommunicate and dismiss others for no reason, that is called bullying others by force. But now you are going to rectify the atmosphere and eliminate and dismiss those who are ignorant and incompetent. This is called governing the country by relying on force."
Sima Yan suddenly realized.
"Okay, then I'll do it, but I'm afraid I can't do it alone. Can your Majesty find me an assistant?"
"Okay, who do you want?"
"Mr. Zhong!"
Cao Mao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Okay, I'll let Mr. Zhong assist you."
Cao Mao looked at Zhang Hua who was standing aside, "Take An Shi to Zhong Yu and ask him to help An Shi rectify the Imperial Academy."
Sima Yan hurriedly said: "Wrong, wrong, what I want is Zhong Shangshu!"
Cao Mao looked at Zhang Hua again, "Tell Zhong Yu that he can receive the minister's book after the matter is completed."
Sima Yan walked out of the Tai Chi Hall with a face full of astonishment. He looked at Zhang Hua beside him.
"If I say I want Zhong Hui, does he want Zhong Yu to change his name?"
A serious person like Zhang Hua couldn't help laughing at this moment, "Sima Jun, Zhong Shangshu is busy with everything, how can he have time to deal with such a thing? Zhong Gong has a plan, and with his help, things will definitely be done."
Qi State, Linzi.
"Provincial Governor! The enemy has begun to attack the west gate!"
"Prince Governor!! The enemy is setting up a ladder at the north gate!"
"It's the governor, it's Ci Shi! It's Ci Shi!"
Sun Yu, the governor of Qingzhou, was a little flustered at the moment. He now had a lot of confusions, including what exactly was this anthocyanin?
He had never been on the battlefield. Hu Zun's fierce offensive almost knocked Sun Yu unconscious. He didn't know how to organize manpower to counterattack. He always felt that the defender had an advantage in war, but he didn't know why. , at this moment, they have been being beaten and cannot fight back at all.
The entire city seemed to have turned into a turtle that could not fight back, being tortured back and forth by Hu Zun.
Soldiers kept coming, bringing bad news.
Sun Yu was extremely frightened, and at this moment, he finally reacted.
He looked at the officials around him and said, "You should return to the palace now and bring His Majesty out. We need to evacuate here!!"
The general's eyes widened and he hurriedly said: "Provincial Governor, we are now surrounded, how can we evacuate?"
"Are we going to stand here and be captured by Hu Zun?!"
Sun Yu was so angry that he roughly pushed the general in front of him away, and then ordered his confidants again: "Follow my instructions! Pull all our people back!"
The generals looked at each other a few times and slowly gathered around Sun Yu.
"Grand Governor, if you evacuate, what will we do?"
Sun Yu didn't realize that something was wrong with the situation. He raised his head and said with disdain: "Of course I have to continue to hold on and wait for reinforcements. My breakout this time is to call for reinforcements. As long as you can hold on for a while."
As soon as Sun Yu said a few words, he felt huge pain coming from his neck.
The world spun and he landed on the ground. He vaguely saw a headless corpse in front of him, spraying blood.
Sun Yu opened his mouth, but was too frightened to speak.
"Sun Yu is dead!! Open the door and accept the surrender!!"
The generals shouted.
