"Your Majesty, I know."
Guanqiu Jian put away the letter and looked at Cao Fang again.
He came here this time to tell Cao Fang not to have other ideas, that he would not support him, not to listen to other people's rumors, and not to think that he would be on his side.
Guanqiu Jian did this not to distance himself from the King of Qi, but also to protect the King of Qi.
Even though doing so might bring him notoriety, might make King Qi look angrily, or say something radical, Guanqiu Jian would not back down.
Just when Guanqiu Jian was ready to speak, Cao Fang spoke first:
"General, I have something I want to tell you."
Guanqiu Jian was stunned and frowned.
Zhang Hua on the side also lowered his head slightly, so that no one could see the change in his expression.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Cao Fang said helplessly: "General, I was bullied by Master Sima and others, but now my life is leisurely and contented, no one disturbs me, I am very happy."
"I am by no means a wise king who can rule the world like Your Majesty."
"I hope the general doesn't have any bad thoughts. I have absolutely no intentions."
"Please don't believe other people's rumors, let alone think that others will support you in doing other things."
At this moment, Guanqiu Jian was stunned.
Shouldn't this be something you should say for yourself? ?
Cao Fang looked at the dull Guanqiu Jian in front of her, feeling quite bitter in her heart.
He has lived a life of fear. When he was in Qingzhou, the officials of Qingzhou wanted to use his name to rebel. When he arrived at the temple, the ministers wanted to support him again. When he learned about the incident of the imperial servant, he was frightened. I couldn't eat for several days.
Fortunately, Cao Mao came in person and comforted him several times, telling him not to think too much and just live in peace.
Cao Fang really doesn't want to be associated with such things anymore.
What a vicious person Cao Mao is, even Sima Shi is no match for him. You couldn't even defeat Sima Shi at first, but now you are crazy and want to fight Cao Mao.
If you want to fight, go and fight on your own, and don’t drag others into it again!
Zhang Hua raised his head at this moment, no longer as cautious as before.
"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. General Guanqiu came here because of your Majesty's order."
Cao Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
Guanqiu Jian said: "The king's thoughts are also my ministers' thoughts."
"I originally wanted to persuade the king, but I didn't expect that the king thought the same way."
"Then I won't bother you!"
Guanqiu Jian stood up and left with Zhang Hua.
Cao Fang didn't even go out to see them off.
Guan Qiujian's heart at this moment was probably that of a boy who was about to say breakup, but was told to break up first by the other party.
Although he was a little puzzled, Guanqiu Jian was still in a relaxed mood. It seemed that King Qi could survive. With his condition now, His Majesty would not take the initiative to deal with him.
Zhang Hua said with a smile: "The general does not know that the relationship between King Qi and Your Majesty is very good. King Qi often writes poems to praise Your Majesty's kindness."
"The clans from all over the country were a little uneasy after returning to their territories. When they learned that King Qi was favored by His Majesty in Luoyang, they were no longer so afraid."
Guanqiu Jian suddenly realized.
It turns out there is such a thing.
Because of the civilized emperor's policy, the local princes did not trust the emperor at all. After Yang Hu sent the clans in Hebei back to their respective fiefdoms, they began to wait for the temple's ruling. Unexpectedly, they waited for a long time , but waited for the news that King Qi was safe and sound.
This news was also informed by local officials.
In addition, Xia Houxian, Cao Yan and other clan members also tried their best to speak well of the emperor.
Cao Yan originally thought that he could handle Cao Mao, the little emperor. After being frightened by Wen Yang, he treated Cao Mao with the same attitude as Sima Shi, praising him for "kneeling and licking".
This is indeed a man with no moral shackles, advocating Cao Mao's sage rule everywhere.
In fact, the clan members may not believe him, but the matter with King Qi is indeed different.
If King Qi's matter were solved by the Second Emperor of Civilization, he would not be able to escape death, and there would be no possibility of survival.
But the current emperor did not kill him. He was probably imprisoned because of his favor, but imprisoning him was better than killing him. Could he really be a generous emperor? ?
It cannot be said that the vigilance in the hearts of the clan members has been completely dispelled, but most of it has been dispelled.
It is worth mentioning that Cao Ju, King of Pengcheng, and Cao Qi, King of Donghai, were both on their way to the temple.
The emperor decided to summon some relatives from time to time and hold a family banquet or something.
Soon, the news spread that Guan Qiujian had returned to Luoyang.
The ministers were extremely excited.
All the ministers except Zhuge Dan were ready to meet Guanqiu Jian.
It's not that they all admired Guan Qiu Jian's character. The main reason was that Guan Qiu Jian was deeply trusted by the emperor and was recognized as the emperor's confidant. At the same time, he was a famous scholar and an upright man.
All the ministers believed that people like him would not tolerate He Zeng and others causing chaos.
Unfortunately, for several days, Guanqiu Jian stayed by the emperor's side and did not show up, and the officials were not able to meet him.
Of course, not all ministers could not see it.
At this moment, Cao Mao was sitting in the west hall, and three ministers with both civil and military skills were sitting in three directions.
Guanqiu Jian, Zhong Hui, and Sima Yan.
It's really weird that these three people appear at the same time.
But they did not appear at the same time. Guanqiu Jian was always here, while Zhong Hui came to discuss important matters. As for Sima Yan, he came to report the affairs of the Imperial Academy.
Zhong Hui was originally a little unhappy with Guanqiu Jian.
Because he felt that he was His Majesty's number one confidant, but ignorant outsiders always regarded Guanqiu Jian as His Majesty's confidant, which made Zhong Hui very dissatisfied.
But when he saw Guanqiu Jian, there was no anger on Zhong Hui's face.
Guan Qiu Jian was born a celebrity. Just like Pei Kai, whose appearance could not be concealed even in a coarse coat, Guan Qiu Jian could not hide his celebrity aura even if he wore ordinary clothes.
This kind of temperament is a very mysterious thing. At first glance, Guanqiu Jian is a very cultured and well-educated person, and one cannot dare to look down upon him.
Sometimes, temperament is a huge bonus to appearance. Guanqiu Jian's appearance is not outstanding, but this temperament really makes Zhong Hui, who has a penchant for celebrities, unable to get angry.
Looking at Zhong Hui's smiling face, Cao Mao sighed.
This is why He Zeng is used.
As for Sima Yan, his eyes were full of solemnity at the moment. He couldn't let go in front of the two important ministers, and he couldn't be looked down upon by them!
"Your Majesty, the corresponding laws for official assessment have been issued. The focus is on the management and education of officials."
"Farming and other other matters are placed after these two items, because the most important issue today is still the issue of officials. The remaining matters can be adjusted according to subsequent changes in the local situation."
"In order to avoid fraud and collusion, the assessment will be carried out in a haphazard manner. Different counties will assess each other, and there will be no rules. The same is true for counties. This is because it is impossible to set up corresponding assessment departments now, and the workload of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is too large to do it alone. Get this done.”
"In addition, the issue of tenure has also been corrected."
"This is the situation of schools in various places. It will be used as the second most important performance assessment point this year to ensure that all places pay enough attention."
"The other thing is that the imperial examination will be held in January next year. Now it has been distributed to all places so that talented people can prepare."
"The assessment is divided into four items. It is no longer just classics. I have added the three contents of arithmetic, law, and archery. I have also adjusted the assessment classics. It is no longer based on the Five Classics, but on the theories of hundreds of schools of thought. The content of the assessment will be based on actual management and based on His Majesty's suggestions, and the assessment will be conducted layer by layer."
"Rural examination, county examination, county examination, and finally the palace examination."
"Recruit based on the ranking of these people"
"That's the specific content. Please check it, Your Majesty."
"The other thing you mentioned about the Wu State is that you can ask Sun Xian to write to Ding Feng secretly, asking Ding Feng to assist him in killing Sun Wei, defecting to the Wei State together, and avenging the innocent deaths of the ministers. We cannot ask His Majesty to come forward, it is enough to ask Sun Xian to come forward."
"And when the letter reaches Ding Feng, no matter what Ding Feng does, your majesty can reward Sun Xian and give him an official title."
"This way"
Zhong Hui laughed, "Sun Wei will definitely kill Ding Feng. No one in Wu can persuade him."
Guanqiu Jian couldn't help but say at this moment: "Ding Feng is a veteran general and has always been smart. I'm afraid Sun Wei is no match for him. Once he gets the letter, he will respond and even kill Sun Wei."
"Although Sun Wei has great power, he is not as cautious as Sun Jun. If he is set up by Ding Feng,"
Zhong Hui nodded, "What General Chariot and Cavalry said makes sense."
"So, I plan to ask Tao Qiuyi's son to write a letter to Sun Wei, telling him that we are planning to collude with the Dongwu courtiers, design to make Sun Wei alone, and then ambush him."
"I'm afraid he won't write such a letter."
"It's okay. Sun Xian and he don't need to write. I just need to read their daily letters."
Zhong Hui smiled very proudly.
Guanqiu Jian nodded and agreed to his plan.
Later, Guan Qiu Jian asked about strategy again. Zhong Hui's strategy conflicted with Guan Qiu Jian's, but Zhong Hui was not angry and explained his thoughts seriously.
Cao Mao listened to the two of them discussing important matters, and finally looked at Sima Yan.
Sima Yan was confused at the moment, looking at the two of them stupidly, not quite understanding what they were talking about, but felt a little confused.
"An Shi, you came here in a hurry, but to report something big?"
Cao Mao asked.
Sima Yan pursed his lips.
"Your Majesty, I have come to report."
"Students from Taixue have begun to come to class on time."
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall fell silent.
