"The people in Guzhoulu are all praised and ruined, so they cannot be regarded as righteous; the people who make friends with them are not praised for three weeks, so they may not be believed to be true."
"This... after a few months, I must be familiar with it and be able to use it." Mu Shun didn't pay much attention to this matter and was a little vague.
"Well." The emperor said to Zhu Hao again: "The secretary supervises the forbidden classics. This is something that will benefit the future. You have to contact the general supervisor and get it done as soon as possible."
"I promise." Zhu Hao replied.
"But these books seem to be a little lacking..." The emperor felt a little regretful. He knew that at this time, the wealthy families had scriptures hidden in their homes, and some were even secret and unique copies. Cai Yong's home alone had tens of thousands of books.
, not to mention the hundreds of years of accumulation of families like the Fufeng Ma family and the Hongnong Yang family.
If they could be allowed to hand over all these books, or loan them out for the imperial court to copy...
The emperor's eyes couldn't help but narrowed. He felt that this was a good idea, but it was not convenient to implement it now. After all, books in this era can be said to be the heirlooms of every wealthy family to ensure their power. Owning an orthodox and rare single copy of the classics,
It's like if you have the power to study and explain. In the eyes of many successful nobles, ancient scriptures are even more important than land and money. If you want them to voluntarily donate them, unless the emperor has the power of Emperor Xiaowu and others, otherwise he will have to do something else.
Find opportunities.
The emperor put the matter aside for the moment, as if he had just noticed it, and looked up at the two new faces sitting at the bottom.
"Today's new secretary, please come closer and take a look."
When Sima Yi and Wei Dan heard this, they immediately bowed their heads and approached with small steps. After the praise and roll call, they knelt down and sat down directly on the floor of the atrium.
The emperor first told Wei Dan: "I heard that you have a reputation for talent and are good at writing and writing, so I allowed you to join the secretary's office. Now that my father has appointed him as a county governor, he has gone to Wudu. There are no elders in the family, so you must not delay your studies.
.”
Wei Dan did not have any outstanding political achievements in history. He was just the head of the family. The emperor put him in the secretarial prison. In addition to reassuring Wei Duan who was going to Wudu, he also wanted to use the relationship between Zhang Chang and Wei Dan to further win over.
Wei Duan, because Wei Dan learned calligraphy from Zhang Zhi, and the two families had a relationship. Zhang Zhi's younger brother Zhang Chang can also be regarded as half of Wei Dan's calligraphy teacher.
"I sincerely promise you." Wei Dan still didn't understand these relationships, but it didn't stop him from understanding his family's appreciation in the eyes of the emperor.
After finishing talking about Wei Dan, the emperor turned his attention to the other person and saw his gentle, thrifty, humble and courteous appearance. The emperor couldn't help but smile in his heart. If he hadn't already known the other person's name, he might have been affected by the other person's appearance.
I was confused by the harmless appearance of humans and animals.
"Are you Sima Yi?" the emperor asked knowingly.
Sima Yi bowed his head respectfully and replied: "It's Chen Yi!"
"You persuaded Zhao Weisun in Liyang, saying that his return to the court will show his bravery and intelligence. It is really a blessing for the Sima family to have a son like you in Zhijinwu."
The emperor's unstinting praise for Sima Yi not only surprised Sima Yi, but also everyone present.
The process of Sima Yi persuading Zhao Weisun was just a secret arrangement made by Sima Fang under the instruction of Huang Wan and other Guandong scholars. Because this involved Zhao Weisun's unstable position, and secretly coerced Geng Zhi, the then general of Liao Dynasty.
action.
In order to show that the two of them were completely and sincerely loyal to the righteousness, rather than being motivated by interests, these things were not directly stated in the imperial court memorials, but rewards were directly given to the participants, Sima Lang and Sima Yi brothers.
.
Everyone was probably aware of Sima Yi's wisdom and strategy in this matter, but they did not expect that the emperor would value and praise Sima Yi so much. Faintly, Yang Xiu, Huan Fan and others became eager to win.
"This is all because Duke Zhao is diligent in the king's affairs and admires his loyalty. It is really not the merit of me alone. Therefore, I am frightened. I am extremely ashamed to be appointed as the secretary. How dare you be praised by your majesty like this."
This was what Sima Yi was afraid of. He didn't know why the emperor valued him so much. If he praised him too much, he would be flattering. This would make it difficult for him to get along with Yang Xiu and others in the future, and it would be difficult for him to integrate into their circle.
Wherever there are people, there will be circles. He has noticed the tendency of forming cliques in the Secretariat, but he has not taken it to heart. As long as they all have the emperor as their core, whether it is Yang Xiu or Fazheng
, or Wang Can, all have flaws of one kind or another, not enough to become another core threat to the emperor.
But Sima Yi was different. With his ability to dance well in history, the emperor was very worried that he would form a clique. And the emperor was unwilling to keep him cold, which wasted his talents. As for leaving Sima Yi in Taixue
, the emperor was not worried either.
Only by keeping the other person by his side, keeping an eye on him at all times, and being a close minister is the most suitable arrangement for the emperor at present for Sima Yi. It is precisely for this reason that the emperor is unwilling to let Sima Yi keep a low profile, and at least give him a job under the supervision of his secretary
several enemies.
"I have seen your wisdom and strategy. As early as when Sima Gong was still Jing Zhaoyin, I learned about Zhongda from his mouth. There are many talented people in the secretary prison. I worship you as secretary man.
One is to reward you for your merits, and the other is that I hope you can get to know each other well, improve your studies, and grow up before you can serve me." The emperor did not take Sima Yi's humble words seriously and said to himself.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Sima Yi could only take a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I promise."
The emperor smiled softly, changed the subject, and said to Fazheng and others: "You like to argue about academics and talk about classics. This is a good thing, but you can't let it hurt the harmony. From now on, Sima Yi and Wei Dan
The two of them will work with you in the future, so you must not neglect them, but support each other."
Yang Xiu, Fazheng and others heard this and immediately agreed.
But they still had some doubts in their hearts. At first, they only regarded Sima Yi as an ordinary powerful son. Even though he had achieved some achievements in Liyang, they didn't take it too seriously. After all, there was his brother that time.
With Sima Lang's participation, everyone subconsciously believed that most of the credit was due to Sima Lang.
Unexpectedly, after a few words, the emperor actually valued Sima Yi so much, which caused many people to become curious about Sima Yi in one way or another, and even became a little unconvinced.
After all, there are more than just one or two people who want to be under the emperor, make friends with talented people, and want to be secretaries and leaders among others.
Wang Fu looked like he was watching a good show. He stared at Sima Yi's solemn expression on his brows, and suddenly wanted to see how this confident man would get along with the secretaries and supervisors in the future.
