Shu Chen

Chapter 545 Wei Clan

Since the end of the Chen Cang war last year, the Wei State, which has lost its troops one after another, has had heated discussions among the ruling and opposition parties.

Emperor Cao Rui couldn't contain this discussion at all.Gain is dominated by Luoyang's imperial students and the aristocratic families he granted authority for the war.

And he doesn't intend to stop it.

What the officials are discussing this time is not similar to the previous idea of ​​"abandoning Liangzhou and using Guanzhong's three assistants as a barrier", but discussing how to expel the Han army from Guanzhong.As far as the country is concerned, this kind of speech is beneficial, and it can more or less inspire Li Shu to share the same hatred with the enemy.

Naturally, sometimes the topic will be biased.

For example, the competence of Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang and Liangzhou, was questioned by many people.

No way, in the face of successive defeats, he who once defeated Jiangdong in Jingxiang and traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong to destroy Gongsun is no longer called "able"!When news of the general's defeat and death continued to spread to Kanto, many people questioned whether it was wise to continue to use him in Guanzhong to resist Bashu.

Especially after Chencang was captured, it was the emperor Cao Rui who won Jiangdong to abandon the covenant with Bashu in a way that humiliated the country, which made Bashu have no choice but to strike down.Instead of Sima Yi, who gathered elites from all over the country of Wei, and even controlled the tiger and leopard cavalry of the emperor's personal soldiers and the Luoyang army, he repelled.
As a great governor, he can't resist his insults from outside, and can't calm down his chaos from inside. He has been defeated and humiliated the country, so why should he stay in office?
But such discussions gradually became fruitless.

Without him, Taiwei Manchong just died of illness.

The state of Wei no longer stood shoulder to shoulder with Sima Yi, and there was no other governor who could replace him.

So, what else can someone who feels that Sima Yi is incompetent have to say?

Even if Sima Yi is incompetent, who else can accept orders in the face of danger?

Randomly appointing one person to oversee the battle in Yongliang, maybe Chang'an will be lost in a few months!
Therefore, the ruling and opposition parties shifted the guilt away from Sima Yi, and turned to the urgent task of exploring how to resist the future attacks of Bashu.

Because the emperor Cao Rui exchanged the land of Jingxiang for Jiangdong to reach a consensus and induce the generals of Shu and Wu to fight, people think it is a temporary expedient measure, not an eradication strategy.

Without him, Jiang Dong was like a bereaved dog when facing Wei, how could he resist the elite of Shu soldiers? !

If they can delay Ni Shu's one or two years of age, so that Wei Guo can recuperate and overcome the difficulties of successive defeats, they will be lucky, how can they have high hopes for them!

It was in this situation that Cao Jiong, the clan of Wei State, wrote "On the Six Dynasties" and presented it to Emperor Cao Rui.

It is about the rise and fall of the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han and Wei Dynasties. It is recommended that Cao Rui treat and divide the clan children kindly, grant military and political power, and strengthen the weak branches, so as to restrain the internal aristocratic families from growing bigger and resist foreign enemies. Consolidate the world of Cao Wei.

And at the end of the above table, he additionally transcribed the Tangdi chapter of "The Book of Songs Xiaoya".

Its intention is to reiterate that "brothers fight against the wall and defend against their insults from outside."

That is to say, Cao Jiong was giving a subtle remonstrance.

It is claimed that the past "Wei seized the throne" has passed away with the successive deaths of Emperor Wen Cao Pi, King Chen Si Cao Zhi and King Rencheng Wei Cao Zhang.Now that the name has been determined, there are no more disputes about the country, and at a time when foreign enemies are frequently invading the country, it is reasonable to use clan talents to defend the world of Cao Wei together.

Cao Jiong's father was the brother of Emperor Wu Cao Cao's ancestors.

In terms of consanguinity, he, who is neither a public nor a king, has no chance of ascending the throne anyway.

Therefore, his advice is really out of justice, not out of selfishness.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Rui's mentality changed and he did not reject the above statement.

Since he came to the throne, Gein has treated the clans from Wei Wu Cao Cao's lineage as a threat to guard against them, and imprisoned them like prisoners.

Perhaps, Cao Jiong's watch has merit?
With Yushu's mental strength haggard, Cao Rui faintly had such an idea, and let the people in the temple discuss whether this move is feasible.

Naturally, it also induced many scholars to write a letter to discuss this matter.

However, Li Jian, who is currently staying in Jibei, heard about this, and couldn't help raising his head to the sky, secretly sighing: The time for what I planned to enter Wei has come!
Yes, it was Li Jian and Li Wence who were sent to Wei by Zheng Pu.

In the past, he used to travel and study to deceive others, after going to Qingzhou Beihai via Luoyang, he stayed in Zhuxu County and listened attentively to the lectures of the great scholar Guan Ning.

And also took the opportunity to become famous.

He was ordered by the government of the State of Wei not to announce the government of Bashu, so he gave Guan Ning the annotated version of "Thousand Characters" copied and asked him to explain the absurd things in it.

At that time, the "Thousand Characters" was circulating in all states and counties of Wei State.

However, out of taboo, the aristocratic families who obtained this article from other sources did not blatantly claim that it was written by Zheng Pu, and there are countless annotations in the article.

Obviously, Guan Ning, who has no utilitarian heart and is admired at home, will not shy away from this point.

After reading the annotated version of "Thousand Characters", he praised it very much.

Claiming that those explanations are absurd, but they can make it easier for young children who are curious about the world to learn and be enlightened;

He also appreciates Li Jian who came here with a letter.

Instead, he was asked to set up an elementary school beside the lectures to enlighten the young children in Zhu Xu's hometown.

Therefore, Li Jian's name suddenly rose in the heart of the Central Plains.

At the end of last year, Guan Ning, who was four out of eighty, died of illness. Li Jian and other scholars who came here for fame served filial piety in front of the tomb for three months, and then turned to Yanzhou.

Almost went straight to Jibei country.

Because of his deliberate "hate winning" candidate, Cao Zhi, who inherited the title of King Chen Si and Cao Zhi, is now King Jibei of Wei State.

Cao Zhi will naturally entertain famous people when they are passing through the border.

But this time, besides Junwang's family, there is Zhuge Dan, Prime Minister of Jibei, who will be in the banquet this time.

But he said that Zhuge Dan, who had been an official for a long time, had been looking for a time to resume his official career after he was dismissed because of the "Fashion Case".After seeing that his former friend Xia Houxuan was re-employed by Emperor Cao Rui because he abandoned exaggeration and favored practicality, he also began to change his mistakes and learn from others.

It didn't take long for him, who was already a celebrity, to be praised by the world.

Also under the investigation of the nine-rank official system, he was re-recommended for employment in the temple.

After the emperor Cao Rui learned about it, based on the unsatisfactory foreign wars and the melancholy of the withering of the good men in the Wei Wu period, he let the past go and let him try to serve as Prime Minister of Jibei.

For this, Zhuge Dan was inexplicably grateful.

I also cherish the opportunity to re-enter the official career.

I want to make some merits so that I can return to Luoyang Temple to serve.

At the time when Cao Jiong went to the temple to induce the Wei State to discuss whether to use the clan, he naturally paid attention to the actions of Jibei King Cao Zhi.Now, after learning that Cao Zhi invited Li Jian to a banquet, it is not surprising that he came to have the banquet spontaneously.

Moreover, Li Jian's remarks made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.
