Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 195

As for Cai Yong's resurrection from the dead, it couldn't be simpler.

At the beginning, Tingwei just started a big fire, and Wang Yun was the first to believe that Cai Yong was burned to death in the prison.But no one saw Cai Yong's dead body with their own eyes, so just make up a reason and put on a good show, Cai Yong can still return to the court.

As for the reason, although Liu Xie wiggled his toes, he could think of three or four.

The simplest thing is to say that Cai Yong was just fainted by smoke at that time, and was rescued by a righteous man of Ting Wei.In the following days, he has been restorative and recuperating. He didn't dare to show up until he heard that Wang Yun had lost power and the court rectified Cai Yong's name.

With Cai Yong's name, not only will this not damage his reputation, but it will add another stroke of color to his legendary life.Anyway, the old man had heard the murderous intent from the sound of the zither before, and he was able to rescue Jiao Weiqin from the stove. It would be icing on the cake to have such a more thrilling and exciting time.

Well, this matter should be dealt with quickly - after all, the old guy saw that the court was getting more and more prosperous, his appetite became better and better, and he ate more and more.

After the plan was finalized, Liu Xie was still thinking about some details.But Lord Jin Shang saw this silent expression, and it changed his taste. He thought that the emperor was thinking about other learned masters, and immediately rushed to say: "Your Majesty values ​​this humble minister so much. I am moved by my humble minister, and I will definitely do my best." , to select and train a group of pillars of talent for the Han Dynasty!"

Don't blame Jin Shang for being so excited, it's really Liu Xie who has caught the pulse of these scholar-bureaucrats.This era is an era that pays attention to long-term economics and economics, and metaphysics to nourish the heart. Every scholar-official with pursuit will regard himself as the highest honor to leave his name in history and have peaches and plums all over the world.

Especially for Jin Shang, a great Confucian who is in his prime, although he has some reputation in Jingzhaoyi, but for the whole big man, he has never been able to advance to a higher level.And if he held any position in the Imperial Academy, he would be a learned man recognized by the imperial court, equivalent to the level of scientific research professors who will enjoy state subsidies in later generations. Not one level!

Don't look at these great Confucians who are all noble and arrogant, but Jin Shang, who is really in this circle, knows that eight out of ten of those great Confucians who retired to the mountains and forests did so out of necessity.Of course, he does not rule out some Confucian scholars who really only want to pass on books to the world, but those people are a minority after all.More Confucians, who wouldn't want to lean on the big tree of the imperial court to enjoy the shade?

Before Dong Zhuo was in chaos, the status of scholars was extremely embarrassing and they had to lose their lives from time to time.But after Liu Xie came to power, no matter how his character was, he couldn't catch the eyes of these scholar-bureaucrats, but he did keep the pure land of Chang'an.There will be no major turmoil in the Guanzhong area for a few years. This is the unified understanding of all relevant people.As a result, the court's signboard also rose and became hotter.

Jin Shang never denied that he had the idea of ​​making further progress, otherwise, he would not have accepted the court's call to serve as an official.

Therefore, in such a situation, compared with Yanzhou Mu, a name like Master Taixue seems to have only a false name but no real power, but who makes a scholar-bureaucrat like this?Therefore, even though Liu Xie hadn't actually appointed him to Jin Shang's official position, Jin Shang had already shown his willingness to do so.

For this point, Liu Xie, who had been trained by the court for a long time, had already seen it clearly with a pair of piercing eyes.But he knew it well, seeing that Jin Shang was so impatient, there would be too many places to turn around.Therefore, he frowned slightly, and said in embarrassment: "It's just that the matter of revitalizing the Imperial Academy is a big matter. I haven't made a definite plan yet."

"What the Son of Heaven is anxious about is the responsibility of the minister, and I have no excuse to blame myself! If Your Majesty trusts the minister, you can ask the minister to come up with a draft and ask Your Majesty to review it." A donkey tied with a carrot, he will go wherever Liu Xie tells him to go.

"Okay! What the Han Dynasty wants is Lord Jin, a good courtier who is loyal to the emperor!" Liu Xie slapped the imperial case with one hand, and praised Jin Shang quite exaggeratedly.

However, just when this move caused all the officials to secretly despise Jin Shang, Liu Xie's face was like the sky in June, suddenly the sun changed, and it changed as soon as it changed: "However, I still feel a little worried. Although that Yanzhou Cao Cao said that he worked hard for the Han Dynasty, he bravely hunted down the thieves after he arrived in Yanzhou, and relieved the people of Yanzhou. But this man is rebellious and has extreme knowledge. I am very disturbed by this article..."

Liu Xie turned around and asked Yang Xiu to bring Cao Cao's letter and read it in front of the ministers of the court.

This Yang Xiu, I have to say, is indeed a living treasure.Don't look at him acting like he's not upright all day long, but when he read out this statement, his cadence was accurate.Even Cao Cao's anger and pain between the lines are vividly expressed.

But in contrast to Yang Xiu's eloquent and expressive reading, it was the lips of the ministers of the court who were tightly pursed and uttered a word.Every time Yang Xiu asked loudly, they felt a heavy hammer hit their hearts deeply, making their faces turn blue and their chests feel tight.

As a group of Han officials in the court, they couldn't hear that Cao Cao's words were not so much expressive as they were qualitative. The cancerous tumors of the man's texture, qi and blood were completely exposed in front of them.

Each of them knew that every sentence of Cao Cao's statement was on the point.But it happened to be this key point, which made them indignant, but also only added a sense of helplessness.After all, they all knew deeply that part of that cancerous tumor was actually themselves.

As a result, when Yang Xiudang finished uttering the last word, the hall fell into a strange silence for a moment.Everyone could hear Liu Xie's implication of asking Yang Xiu to read this statement today, and they also knew that it was time for them to fight for the interests of the clan.What is frustrating is that all the ministers saw this meaning in each other's eyes, but none of them dared to stand up.

No one is a fool, and it is not a day or two for the young emperor sitting on the dragon chair.Look at what he said just now, what he said, "Cao Cao worked hard for the Han, bravely hunted down thieves, and relieved the people of Yanzhou from hanging upside down", this clearly set the tone for this statement in advance.

As for the latter sentence 'My heart is very disturbed', whoever takes it seriously is a fool.He is indeed worried, but it is definitely not worried about Cao Cao's letter, but worried about his ministers.

Your emperor made a final decision on this matter when he came up, who would dare to come out and touch this nail?After all, you, the emperor, are not the puppet that Dong Zhuo held in his hands like a chicken.How powerful Wang Situ was at the beginning, he was in charge of the government, and he was a legitimate assistant minister under the ancestral system, but you didn't know how to use some means to make him bedridden at home and in a trance?

Thinking about Wang Yun, the underground officials looked at each other even more in blank dismay.When things come to this point, their own interests are at stake, and those thoughtful ministers kept winking at each other, discussing whether to do it or not?

The key to this kind of thing is arrogance. If the aura overwhelms the emperor, he can force him to change his mouth.But as soon as it came up today, Jin Shang discouraged the ministers.It's easy to be discouraged, but it's hard to get angry. Seeing that the perfect opportunity is about to disappear in a blink of an eye.Yilang Pang Xi, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help it anymore. He first glanced at Sun Rui, who was once Wang Yun's deputy secretary servant, the shooter. On the body of the servant Zhao Qi.

The reason why Zhao Qi was chosen was that, first of all, the eunuch was one of the nine nobles, and his rank was much higher than that of Shisun Rui.And the more direct reason is because Zhao Qi came to him a few days ago and took five hundred gold out of his teeth.At this time, he took the money and didn't show up. Who else is waiting for this?

Therefore, regardless of his humble official position, Pang Xi bravely stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, what Cao Shijun said may have merit, but it is too alarmist. There are many people with lofty ideals in my big Han, and there are many of them Those who admire the emperor's kindness and exploit the common people, but more of them are refined scholars who are loyal to the Han Dynasty and determined to serve the Han Dynasty. A few days ago, the eunuch Mr. Zhao was running around because of the emptiness in Guanzhong? Presumably, definitely Have you met many famous people who are loyal to the monarch and the country?"

After these words, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Qi in unison, making him unable to hide.Of course, this also includes Pang Xi himself.However, whether it was an illusion or a trance, Pang Xi saw that Zhao Qi's body trembled suddenly.Then the eyes that shot at him were like evil ghosts devouring people, full of vicious resentment.

'What's wrong with the old guy?Why does it look like it's about to eat me? 'Pang Xi's heart was cold, he had a faint feeling that he seemed to have done something very stupid.
