Chapter 356 Brother Sima recruits soldiers (9)
Sima Yi supported him by both shoulders, and said with a chuckle: "Teacher Zhong has a son like you, so it can be said that he has left a long way to go! Maybe I will give you a seat in the future, so that you can ride the world!"

This time, Zhong Hui was even more boasted that his cheeks were red all the way to his ears, and he hastily humbly thanked him.

Sima Yi also smiled kindly at him, but he thought to himself: Zhong Hui is really clever and flashy - a picture of "Great Peng Spreading Wings and Soaring Clouds" blatantly portrayed the great ambition of our Sima clan. All clicked out!I really don't know what he intends to do?Is it for our Sima family to publicize outside?Or do you want to use this painting to show his own support?Or maybe they want to use this painting to show off to others as cleverly?In short, this person may seem smart but not smart, bright but not bright, and his spirit is stronger than his mind. In the future, we must "prevent him when using it, and prevent it when it is useful"!
As Sima Yi was thinking about it, he came to the guest table where Ruan Ji, the sage in the bamboo forest, was sitting.Sima Yi raised his glass to pay respects to Ruan Ji from a distance: "Mr. Ruan has always been good? When I was a literary officer in Emperor Taizu Wu's prime minister's mansion, I have always admired your father-in-law Dr. Ruan's literary talents!"

Ruan Ji looked at Sima Yi drunkenly, stood up crookedly, and raised his glasses in response: "Tai...Master Taifu! He...they have paintings and posts to make you happy, and Ji has nothing else Changwu, how about offering a howl and a poem to congratulate you on your birthday?"

"Good! Good! Good!" Sima Zhao clapped his hands in praise, and at the same time turned his head to Sima Yi and said, "Father, Mr. Ruan has always looked at the world, and he rarely composes poems to celebrate birthdays."

The smile on Sima Yi's face was always so moderate: "Ruan Jun, please do it, I appreciate it!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Ruan Ji turned his body to the sky, and indeed, he blew a long howl during the banquet!
The whistling sound came out suddenly, like a broken silver bottle, and the wine overflowed, covering all corners inside and outside the hall at once; then it swept across the sky like a whirling beam, making the surroundings cool, like wind surrounded by water; finally But it's low-backed and tactful, as if wandering clouds out of Xiuxiu and curling up endlessly.

On the spur of the moment, Ruan Jixiao grabbed a bamboo chopstick from the table and lightly tapped the rim of the jade cup in his hand, following the rhythm of the lingering sound of the long whistle and the knocking of the cup, he groaned again:
The flames spread for thousands of miles, and the Hongchuan was turbulent.The bow is hung with hibiscus, and the long sword is leaning against the sky.Taishan becomes a fortification, and the Yellow River is a belt.Looking at Zhuang Zhouzi, prosperity and decline are nothing to depend on.Donate your body and abandon the middle field, and the black kite will be the victim.How can it be that if you are a hero, you will become famous from now on!

Hearing Ruan Ji's impassioned whistling and moaning, the hall suddenly burst into applause again!
"What a 'Hibiscus hangs on the bow, and the long sword rests on the sky. Mount Tai is forged, and the Yellow River is the belt'! It is truly majestic and majestic!" Sima Yi praised, raised his glass high, and faced all the guests , raised his voice and said, "Borrowing the words of Ruan Jijun's wonderful poem, I would like to congratulate you all on the country's well-being of the great Wei Dynasty, which is like 'flaming light extends thousands of miles, and Hongchuan is turbulent and turbulent'!"

Madam has no shame and cannot be governed; she does not know etiquette and righteousness and cannot practice law.The law can kill, but it cannot make people filial; it can punish robbers, but it cannot make people have integrity.Therefore, when the sage king is above, he shows his likes and dislikes, guides them through slander, advances them when they are close to the virtuous, retreats when they are unworthy, does not use punishments, cultivates rites and righteousness, and appoints virtuous and virtuous people.

In the spacious Nine Dragon Hall, Sima Yi recited this proverb from "Wen Zi" in a straight voice, and sat on the special seat of Danchi as the Taifu to explain the classics to the young emperor Cao Fang and the civil and military officials.

After he finished speaking, Cao Fang respectfully stepped down from the dragon bed on the imperial throne, holding the jade pot in both hands, and poured a cup of green tea into the teacup on his desk: "I respectfully invite the grand master to drink tea to quench his thirst."

Sima Yi hurriedly got up to thank him, drank the tea, then knelt down to send Cao Fang back to his seat, and held up his wat to play: "Your Majesty, now the old minister has asked Jiang Weiwei to explain to you his recent article "Government Strategy"."

Jiang Ji stood up in response to the sound, held up the imperial wat, and chanted to Cao Fang:
The rule of a wise king must be virtuous, and then be peaceful.Therefore, the monarch is called the head of state, and the ministers are called the thighs and arms.It is Tao, Tang, Qinming, Xi's family of equal rank, Yu Yu's eyesight, Yuan Kai's teaching, all of these monarchs sing the harmony of ministers and brighten heaven together, so the heaven and the earth can be made flat, Xianxi Yu Hemu, and the rule of prosperity and virtue.Husband follows the custom, builds a business according to the world, and be cautious in three things: one is to choose people, the other is to follow the people, and the third is to follow the time.If time does not change, it is against the auspiciousness of heaven;If the three are lost, then the affairs of heaven and man will go against each other.If the wife is obedient, the time will go against the times, and if the time goes against it, the sky will go against it.Looking at the country's security against the sky, there is no such thing.

After Cao Fang listened carefully, she followed the teaching of the Empress Dowager Guo Yao who was sitting in the bead curtain behind her, and nodded her head in thanks: "Jiang Weiwei offered this kind words, and I would like to accept his instruction. I will give you three hundred pieces of silk cloth Appreciate."

At this time, the lecture etiquette in the court is over.Empress Dowager Guo led Cao Fang away from the palace together, and let Sima Yi and Cao Shuang start to preside over the court's resolution of state affairs.At present, Sun Zi, Supervisor of Zhongshu and Minister of Zhongzhong, stood out in front of the jade steps of Danchi and proclaimed loudly: "The court meeting has begun!"

As soon as he finished the announcement, Dahonglu Xiahou Xuan held the wat and came out of the class. He bowed and said: "Sima Taifu, General Cao, and others have ordered the world to be the rulers, follow the ancient times, and generals will be ruled. Xuanxin is very respectful. Now, Xuanyou has three major remonstrances to offer, and asks the two auxiliary ministers to judge on behalf of the emperor.

"One is to abolish the disadvantages of the nine-rank Zhongzheng official system, and let the high-ranking officials in the states and counties only judge the good and evil of talents, and the grades of talents are not determined. Recently, the talents evaluated by Zhongzheng officials have been classified as "upper middle, upper lower, and upper middle", but they are often downgraded to "lower middle, middle middle" by the Ministry of Officials. Unification opens up the path of vanity and strife. Therefore, Xuan believes that the system of nine-rank Zhongzheng officials should be reformed, so that Zhongzheng officials only write adverbials and do not add comments, while the Ministry of Officials determines the rank of officials based on the facts."

Sima Yi seemed to be listening very carefully, staring at Xia Houxuan without blinking, obviously very serious.After listening, he turned his head, met Cao Shuang's eyes, and asked, "What do you think, General Cao?"

In fact, Xia Houxuan's proposal to reform the nine-rank Zhongzheng official system was originally a strategy Xia Houxuan and Ding Mi secretly discussed to deal with those Zhongzheng officials who came from famous families in various states and counties.Xia Houxuan and Ding Mi believed that Sima Yi was relying on the support of those famous families and Sulao prefects behind Sima Yi. He took back the Ministry of Officials in his hands, and transferred them to the servants of the Ministry of Officials He Yan, Deng Yang and others to control them.Of course, Cao Shuang must have known everything about this matter in advance.However, in order to disentangle these relations and avoid offending those Zhongzheng officials who were born in various states and counties, he had to adopt another posture to respond to this matter on the bright side.So, he pretended to be very cautious and said: "Master Taifu, what Doctor Xiahou said is not bad. But this reform cuts off the power of criticizing and ranking officials in all states and counties. I'm afraid it will attract a storm The crowd's words have caused unrest in the court!"

How could Sima Yi fail to understand the mystery here?However, he himself has a long-standing judgment on the system of nine-rank Zhongzheng officials. In the system of Zhongzheng officials and people, the reason why Zhongzheng officials have the right to comment on grades is to use the mouth of Zhongzheng officials to praise the good and derogate the evil, and to promote the turbid. But now it seems that the standards of the nine ranks It is really not easy to be uniform, but it has led to a chaotic situation of "everyone is top-ranking, everyone is the same". It also makes the Ministry of Officials feel at a loss as to how to select talents and appoint officials. Xiahou Jun's suggestion just now is very good. This seat thinks that the state can be eliminated The power of criticizing and classifying Zhongzheng officials in each county allows them to only be in charge of writing adverbial sentences. Moreover, each state has another Dazhongzheng official who is in charge of the appointment and removal of Zhongzheng officials in each county in the state."
