Chapter six hundred and fiftieth I also want to resign
It was such an honor for Cao Zhi to talk to Emperor Xian by candlelight at night, but it also made people jealous. Yang Feng and Dong Cheng had already felt threatened. They had been waiting outside the study. The old eunuch on duty persuaded them several times, and they also
Refuses to leave.
It was not until the fourth watch that Cao Zhi came out. Yang Feng and the others urgently requested an audience with Emperor Xian.
At this time, Liu Xie had asked Zhong Yao to write and draft an imperial edict for the reward the next day. At this time, Emperor Xian was no longer shabby. Li Ru had already sent a batch of scrolls and seals in advance, and they were all of high quality.
After being presented by Zhong Yao, it was used by the emperor.
Yang Feng and Dong Chengyi thought it was the right time. Emperor Xian had once relied heavily on these two humerus ministers. Now that the two came, they asked him about his plan to let Cao Zhi take the title of his grandfather Fei Tinghou. Yang Feng
, Dong Cheng immediately expressed his opposition. Cao Zhi did not deserve to inherit the title from his ancestors, because he was the second son, and he had an older brother, so he should be given the title to his older brother Cao Cao.
Liu Xie thought about this point raised by Yang Feng and others for a long time, and finally asked Zhong Yao, who wrote the paper, whether the previous emperors had any ancestral system for inheriting titles.
Zhong Yao reported back in Chapter 1510 that although there were no mandatory regulations on the matter of seizing the title, the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty did not give the title of seizing the title to their second son. The eldest son usually inherited it.
Liu Xie saw that Zhong Yao, a well-educated man, said so, and felt that he could not break the rules of his ancestors, so he changed the title of Cao Zhi to Dutinghou. But in terms of official positions, Liu Xie planned to make Cao Zhi a general to lead the army.
Yang Feng and others once again objected to the important political matter. They believed that Cao Zhi had just arrived and the rescue mission could be said to have not been accomplished. This official position was too big. On the grounds that Cao Zhi feared that it would be difficult to convince the crowd and nourish his arrogance, they resolutely opposed Xian Di.
Just give him such a high official title as Cao Zhi.
When Liu Xie heard the words "nourishing arrogance", he immediately thought of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others. They also received great official positions in his hands, and soon became arrogant.
Put him in your eyes and do whatever you want.
Because Liu Xie had a lot of experience at this time, he could look at problems more carefully. In terms of official positions, Yang Feng and others took another step forward. They dissuaded Emperor Xian and made Cao Zhi only a chariot and cavalry general. Yang Feng and others took another step forward.
, asked Xu Huang to be in charge of the palace guards. At this time, Emperor Xian didn't even have a palace, but the guard camp to protect the emperor was still needed. Due to the hurry along the way from Chang'an to Dayang, this matter was not properly arranged.
The bodyguards were all Yang Feng, with Dong Cheng's soldiers serving temporarily. Emperor Xian knew that Yang Feng's Cavalry Captain Xu Huang was extremely brave, so he asked him to stay by his side, and Liu Xie felt very safe.
But then Yang Feng and other officials were surprised. Emperor Xian actually asked to transfer the general named Xu Chu under Cao Zhi's account to be in charge of the palace guard with Xu Huang. This meant that Emperor Xian planned to set up two generals to lead the guard battalion.
This brought Yang Feng and Dong Cheng to a sudden stop. They had finally suppressed Cao Zhi to an equal position with them. They were about to arrange for the future Emperor Xian to be under their control. They didn't expect that Emperor Xian himself would think of Cao Zhi.
One of his subordinates, Sima Yang Feng, Dong admitted that this was Cao Zhi's advice to Liu Xie. In fact, Liu Xie saw Xu Chu killing Li Le and thought that this man was also very brave. At this time, Yang Feng and others reminded him.
, and suddenly had the idea to recruit Xu Chu to his side, but Cao Zhi had never mentioned this.
Yang Feng and Dong Cheng didn't care who came up with this. They were unanimous and tried their best to oppose Emperor Xian's recruitment of Xu Chu as a bodyguard general. But they were reluctant to die. At this time, Zhong Yao, who was writing the article, stood up and said, "This is the right time."
In troubled times, the emperor should surround himself with people who are skilled in martial arts and able to recruit people who are good at fighting!"
Originally Liu Xie's will had been shaken by the unanimous opposition of Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, but when Zhong Yao said this, he immediately strengthened his belief, "I am the emperor, of course there should be more people with strong martial arts skills."
Protect!" Liu Xie also understands that this may be an act by Yang Feng and others to protect their power, but now and obviously Cao Zhi is more powerful, how can you offend the more powerful Cao Zhi for your selfishness?
Woolen cloth!
Liu Xie did not compromise on the promotion of Xu Chu and insisted on two generals in charge of the palace guards.
While Dayang County Government was engaged in a power game, it also returned to Cao Zhi's temporary residence located in a house in Dayang City, where an important meeting was also being held. Li Ru, Xun Chen, Jia Xu, Le Jin
, Xu Chu did not let Cao Zhi sleep in peace, and they did not ask what Cao Zhi had discussed with the emperor. Li Ru went straight to the point and asked Cao Zhi: "If the emperor makes the lord a general tomorrow, how will the lord deal with himself?"
To be honest, Cao Zhi is still not used to being a high-ranking official under the emperor. He has always been the leader in his own army in Danyang. When he is more mature, he only needs to discuss with his subordinates to make a decision, but it is definitely different now.
, Cao Zhi needs to change his concept. No matter what happens next, the emperor's order should be the pioneer.
All this happened too fast and too suddenly for Cao Zhi. Who would have thought that Cao Zhi would meet the emperor in Dayang.
Cao Zhi had no experience in serving the emperor, so he humbly asked Li Ru, Xun Chen and others for advice: "How do you think Cao Zhi should handle himself?"
Li Ru and Xun Chen actually had no political experience in this area, but fortunately they had Jia Xu, who had served Emperor Xian for four years, beside them. When everyone focused their attention on Jia Xu, Jia Xu's eyes flashed wildly.
Next, reluctantly accept the reality.
"Prefect Cao, or I should call General Cao, I can help you, but you must let me go to Wancheng after you are done here. Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. This sentence is familiar to General Cao, right? Jia
If I want to live longer, the best way is to stay as far away from the emperor as possible and find a place where there will be less disputes to settle down!"
After Jia Xu offered the conditions, Cao Zhi chuckled and ignored the conditions offered by Jia Xu. He asked Xun Chen: "According to the system of our dynasty, no matter which official position I am awarded in the five mansions, I will have
Quan Kaifu, right?"
Cao Zhi's question made Xun Chen stunned for a moment, and he continued to explain: "According to the official system of our dynasty, generals have always been an important part of the power around the emperor. There are generals, generals of hussars, generals of chariots, generals of guard, and former generals.
There are many rear generals, left generals, and right generals. The generals are above the three princes, the hussar generals, the chariot generals, and the guard generals are below the three princes. The front, rear, left, and right generals are below the nine ministers, but they are not always placed.
In this case, when the Queen Mother comes to the court, her relatives usually rule as generals, and together with the three princes, they are called the Five Prefectures. Not only can the above generals participate in government affairs, but they all also run the government.
There are two lieutenants, twenty-nine subordinates, and thirty-one imperial subordinates. The generals who lead the army with their own titles have their own tribes and a number of captains."
Although Xun Chen did not understand what Cao Zhi suddenly asked him about the official system, he was indeed very familiar with this official system and had spent a lot of time studying it.
After Xun Chen talked endlessly about the general-level official system of the Han Dynasty in the five mansions, Cao Zhi turned to Jia Xu and said: "No matter what official position I am granted, Jia Xu, you will have an official position in my mansion! Today I have
If you say in front of the emperor that you are my subordinate, Jia Xu will never go to your place again!"
"you......"
Jia Xu was so angry that he couldn't form a sentence, so he could only poke his finger and say "you". It is rare to meet a scoundrel like Cao Zhi. The bigger the official, the better he can protect his face. Jia Xu
In the past, I relied on this to be able to deal with some superior officials without any disadvantage, but now I met Cao Zhi, who even became an official by force, which is really unique!
Cao Zhi ignored Jia Xu's protest and had already discussed the next plan with Li Ru and others.
Jia Xu was silent for a while, then suddenly said quietly: "If the emperor appoints you to any official position in the five palaces, you must refuse the first step, so that the emperor will think that you are a loyal minister, and he will trust you more in the future!
This is called surrender!"
"Oh...what's next?" Li Ru and Cao Zhi looked at each other and smiled, then asked further.
That night, while Yang Feng and others were busy tearing down the foundation of Cao Zhi's officialdom, Cao Zhi's office was also busy. Everyone was taught a lesson by Jia Xu, and they fully understood what officialdom was.
The next day, Li Ru and others once again had to admire Jia Xu's calculations. Cao Zhi was indeed named a chariot general, not a general, as he said, and the title was only a pavilion-level prince, not a hereditary Cao Zhi.
Grandfather Zhi's Fei Tinghou. Lian Liru was given the official position of Yilang because he was very satisfied with the emperor he served two days ago. The most surprising thing is that Xu Chu was promoted to Yulin Zhonglang General, and Xu Chu
At the same time, Akira became a colleague under the rule of Guang Luxun, and he was also in charge of the emperor's bodyguard. This was something no one expected.
After Cao Zhi and others knelt down in the palace to receive the decree, Cao Zhi took his subordinate officials to the county government to discuss matters with Emperor Xian, to show his humility and loyalty.
Xu Chu looked at the resignation form that Cao Zhi was holding, and pulled Li Ru behind him on a whim, and said to Li Ru in a cunning manner: "Old Li, you can also write a resignation form for me!"
Li Ru was startled and asked, "Do you think this Yu Lin Zhonglang, a fifth-grade official, is too young?"
Xu Chu waved his thick hands wildly and said: "No, no, I am too old. Lao Li, don't you know that I am a bandit, how can I serve the emperor? I should continue to be the eldest brother's Danyang Sima, I am as comfortable as I come!"
Li Ru laughed when he heard this, "Hey, Xu Chu, there is no official who doesn't want to be fooled. You really don't want to make progress, you just want to be fooled. I can't help you with this matter!"
"Hey, Lao Li, Lao Li, don't refuse yet. Yesterday, I saw what you wrote, 'You deserve it, and you have merit in this world... I'm afraid...' and so on, a lot of vile words,
Write a couple of lines for me and say that I really don’t want to be a lieutenant general and have the same job as Xu Huang!"
"Haha, Xu Chu, tell me what's on your mind, right? Are you afraid of Xu Huang, so you don't dare to accept this job?"
"Bah! Fart, I'm afraid of him. I'm afraid I'll accidentally kill him and I won't be able to explain to the emperor."
"Okay, okay, if you are not afraid of him, just go to the emperor's door together and don't just talk. Besides, you have also seen that only the princes who have been granted the title of lord can only resign. You are one appointed by the emperor.
Junior official, you can give in to this or that, if you don’t believe me, just ask Mr. Jia!”
well!……
When Cao Zhi received the Jie Yue from Emperor Xian at the Dayang County Government, he and his ministers shouted long live, his heart was full of emotion and heavy feeling. Many people struggle all their lives just for this little power. But he, Cao Zhi,
It was so easy to get all this. Cao Zhi thought about whether he had done anything that benefited the country and the people in the eight years since he arrived in Luoyang at the age of nineteen. He could reach the pinnacle of power so easily today.
Cao Zhi himself was not sure. Maybe Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, who were also in the imperial court with him, had not accomplished any great achievements that benefited the country and the people, but they accepted the merits leisurely and contentedly.
Some people say that those who climb too fast will fall deeper. A group of "Liangzhou wolves" are a bloody lesson. But Cao Zhi is very open-minded. He doesn't like to get such high power all at once, but he can face it calmly.
Those rights were lost again that day.
Cao Zhi and Yang Feng are now "recorded as ministers" because they have the ability to take charge of all matters in the ministerial office. This is a very powerful power. According to the political system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ministerial office is a real power department of the central government, and Cao Zhi's "recorded ministerial affairs"
"Shi" is the most powerful figure among this group of people.
Moreover, Cao Zhi not only gained real power in government affairs, he was also promoted to "General of Cavalry". This is already the third most important position in the military system after the General, and he can accept the golden seal and purple seal.
Among the senior cadres of the Shou Dynasty, when the first two important positions were vacant, Cao Zhi, Yang Feng, and Dong Cheng were already on an equal footing with the Three Gongs. It could even be said that the Three Gongs were dominated by the power of the three generals as soon as He entered the dynasty.
By the way, no wonder the current Taiwei Yang Biao fainted. As the supreme commander of the national army under the normal system and one of the three princes, Taiwei had no role after the two cavalry generals "recorded the affairs of the minister".
there is none left.
But in the current court, there are already a group of people who believe that Cao Zhi cannot be compared with the "Liangzhou Wolf". His family comes from a family of Han Dynasty officials for three generations, and all his official positions are from two generations of emperors (the Young Emperor).
, Emperor Xian)'s imperial title, rather than being self-proclaimed or obtained by force, it can be said that it is not the same as the "Liangzhou Wolf" gang of guys who are equivalent to bandits.
A group of young officials in the court, represented by Zhong Yao and others, were still full of expectations for Cao Zhi's arrival, hoping to bring a breath of fresh air to the corrupt government.
Of course, there are also people who hope that Cao Zhi, Yang Feng and other new dignitaries will fall to death one day so that they can become new dignitaries. This group of people is also the young and strong faction of the current court, represented by Tai Song, the minister, and Feng Shuo, the minister.
Emperor Xian Liu Xie was very moved by Cao Zhi's "resignation". At this time, there were very few people who were willing to be so humble. Most people were forcing him to give them greater rights. Liu Xie was above the court.
While praising Cao Zhi vigorously, he insisted on keeping it intact. As a result, this back and forth became a crying scene between the monarch and his ministers.
