When Xinpi cried at the mausoleum, all officials were shocked and came to ask for the reason. However, Xin Zuozhi wiped away his tears, asked to see Shixun first, and told the whole story about Cao Mao's sudden edict to involve his secretaries and subordinates in the affairs of the palm, and dismissed himself from the post of censor Zhongcheng - as for what happened next Xin George didn't know what was going on, but he could probably guess it. When he saw Shi Xun, it was not just to report the news, but also to remind Shi Xun not to act rashly. Xin Pi said: "This must be Cui Jigui's plan. But Ji Gui is only a scholar" Cui Yan and Cao Mao were both too impatient, and such actions would inevitably arouse the general dislike of the officials in the court. In fact, the current political situation is relatively stable. Although the foreign forces are huge and Shixun's prestige is high, they are not completely twisted into a unit that advances and retreats together. There are a lot of flaws that can be exploited. As long as Cui Jigui used the voice of the inner court to make insinuations from time to time to attack and divide the foreign forces, after Cao Mao came to power, the emperor's authority was growing day by day, and he might be able to win the political struggle without any intrigues. It's like two armies fighting. One army is strong but lacks a commander with sufficient prestige, but it adopts a joint conference system and changes its generals every three days. The other army is weak, but will soon have a commander who may not have the authority. It is possible, but it is expected that the commander-in-chief who can impose prohibitions will sit in command. If there is a hasty confrontation, the stronger army will definitely win, but if the confrontation lasts for a long time, the situation of strength may gradually reverse. After all, in this era, the emperor has natural authority, but Xun may not be able to stay in the high position of Zhongshu Ling for life. It was Xun, not Huo Guang, not Wang Mang. The characteristics of the foreign dynasty destined him to be a man who could not be grasped by the real military and political power. Become a powerful minister under one person and above ten thousand people. Otherwise, five or ten years of being together will be over. It¡¯s impossible not to move your seat for someone else. And if the inner court is in power, then according to the Han Dynasty, the relatives can serve as the emperor's spokesperson and general for a long time and record the secretarial affairs. Unless there is another group of relatives to compete with it (or the emperor insists on taking over power), this is theoretically unshakable. . The bureaucracy in foreign Korea is different. If it lacks liquidity, it will either become stagnant or, more likely, fall apart. ??Everyone has selfish motives. Just like when Yuan Guangtou later tried to proclaim himself emperor, he was unanimously opposed by everyone in Beiyang. why? Even if the president is for life, he cannot pass it down to his children. Once Lao Yuan dies, Duan, Feng, Zhang, Cao, etc. will all have a chance. But if it is changed to an imperial system, how can they still think about it? ? Therefore, no matter how high Xun's reputation is, he can never expect to be the Prime Minister for the rest of his life and never move away - besides, Xun is still in his prime. So who can afford to wait? Therefore, time is definitely beneficial to the imperial power, and Cao Mao wants to take power into the inner court. As long as you are prepared for a protracted war, your chances of winning are quite high. Now they are eager to attack people's hearts and have a hasty coup. On the contrary, they will unite the originally scattered hearts of the outer court and join forces to compete with the inner court. Therefore, Xinpi reminds Shixun that you must not make any foolish moves at this moment, and be careful not to act rashly. Now Cui Yan and those guys can't touch you, but if they get hold of something, once you are gone, the outer court will no longer have a suitable leader - "The court system will be abolished because of this, and the chaos of the Later Han Dynasty will , will be seen today - I am here to cry for the late emperor. " But at the same time, Xin Pi also reminded Shi Xun that Cui Yan is not worthy of mention, but Chen Qun is a person. Once he returns to the court, will he be completely destroyed because of his gratitude to God? Cui Yan and the others are trying to win over him, but it's hard to say - "If Chen Changwen is in the outer court but his heart is in the inner court, his situation will be in danger." I ordered you to be on guard. Shi Xun appreciated Xin Pi's words and said that he would proceed with caution and would never mess up his position at this critical moment. Immediately, he met with Dazai Cao De, Shangshu Ling Zhong Yao and imperial censor Huan Jie, and revealed the news brought by Xin Pi. Cao De said angrily: "How dare you change the system of the previous emperor without personally taking charge of the government? I will give you a full remonstrance!" Zhong Yao smiled bitterly and said: "Since the edict was written in Zhongshu, it has become a foregone conclusion, and it may be difficult to change." Huan Jie pondered for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Fortunately, your Duke is in charge of Zhongshu." Shi Xun was stunned when he heard this, but then he figured it out. On his deathbed, Cao Cao reorganized his positions and appointed five auxiliary ministers. Among them, those who actually controlled the outer dynasty were Hua Xin and Wang Lang. Their abilities and prestige were quite limited. In fact, in a sense, they were weakening the outer dynasty. strength. Cao Cao was probably afraid that under the new political structure, the external dynasty would be powerful and that once a less powerful monarch was replaced, he would be completely ignored, so he used this as a check and balance. Probably Cao Cao also hoped that when Cao Mao took charge, he could try to take back part of the power from the outer court - of course, Cao Cao must not have expected that Cao Mao would act so quickly and with such recklessness. But by some mistake, Cao Mao was instigated by Cui Yan and made a stupid move, which pushed Shixun to the position of prime minister. The power of the foreign dynasty did not retreat but advanced. This may be an important reason why Cao Mao is anxious to take action, but at the same time, it also strengthens the power of foreign countries to counterattack - if Hua Xin or Wang Lang is still in his position, he probably won't even think about counterattack, let alone Action taken. So Huan Boxu wanted to say: "Fortunately, your Duke is in charge of Zhongshu." After Shixun understood this, he couldn't help but smile and wave his hands: "I can't save myself What should I do now?" In fact, he had already thought about it. I have planned several means of counterattack, but I don¡¯t know how many people will support me. After all, Shixun can only be regarded as an important figure in the group of meritorious officials, relatives of the country and the group of bureaucrats. No one group can be regarded as the definite leader. His family straddles the three major groups. Although it is unstoppable, if he wants to become one of the three The co-leader of a large group can make the officials advance and retreat together with him, but I am afraid there is still a long way to go. "If you rush forward desperately, even if only one-third of the people are holding back, then the counterattack has no chance of winning. Zhong Yuanchang sighed and said: "Since you have received the emperor's order, how dare you disobey it?" Cao Quji stared at him and said: "This is a chaotic government" But he was a little transparent after all, and Zhong Yao blocked his words as soon as he left his mouth. He said: "If the results of changing the system are not obvious, why cause chaos?" Let's not say that it is impossible for Cao Mao to truly return power to the inner court. He probably just wants to make a balance. Even if he really completely deprives the outer court of power, at present, There are no negative consequences. How dare you insist that it is "chaos of government"? "If the villain takes advantage of the situation to act recklessly, we can bring order to the chaos." Now it depends on what Cui Yan and Liu Fang want to do next. If it is just to enhance the master's authority, then we really have nothing to object to. If you dare to use the emperor's name to monopolize power and disrupt government, we can fight back. Huan Jie nodded and said: "The country has been settled for the first time. There should be no turmoil in the court. This is what Zhong Gong said." Shi Xun sighed secretly, but said: "What you said is true to my meaning. I should be good at assisting the emperor, don't use it." Misusing a divine weapon" Pay attention to Cao De: "Please report this matter to the Grand Empress Dowager Ming." Originally, the harem did not intervene in political affairs, but the young emperor has not yet taken charge of the government. After all, Bian is his grandmother and the founding empress, and she must be left to deal with things. I know¡ªbesides, if Xin Zuozhi made such a big noise, Bian couldn't possibly block it, regardless of the reason. Huan Jie glanced at Shixun and said slowly: "You should be hasty, but I should be slow But when we return to the capital, I am afraid there will be another difficulty" What is the difficulty? As expected by Huan Boxu, as soon as they returned to Luoyang, Zhongshu Zuopushe Liu Xian and Shangshu Zuopushe Wei Qi took the initiative to submit their resignations. Liu Xian and Shi Xun worked together in Zhongshu, and his nephew Zhou Buyi was Xun Xun's disciple. He even came to Shi Xun's house in person to apologize: "The emperor has acted recklessly, and I cannot correct him. I am ashamed and have no place" How can I still return the favor? Do you have the dignity to continue to follow this aspect? This is what Shixun and others are afraid of. Because the emperor has the direct power to appoint and remove the prime minister, although Cao Mao has not yet taken charge, it is unlikely that he will depose the prime minister without a suitable reason. However, once someone resigns, it will be convenient for him to choose someone to take over. Intervene. So he tried his best to retain Liu Xian and Wei Xi, but they were very determined to leave and submitted their seals three times in a row. Cao Mao was happy to go with the flow and naturally agreed. Immediately, Cao Mao nominated Yang Xiu as Zhongshu Zuopushe and Liu Xie as Shangshu Zuopushe. Liu Xian, also known as Gongsi, is a descendant of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha in the Western Han Dynasty. He was a native of Nanyang. He served Liu Biao and later joined Cao Cao. When Wei Zhi rebelled, Liu Gongsi was the minister of Huangmen in the Wei state. His younger brother Liu Wei was implicated and killed. According to Han law, Liu Gong should also sit together. But Cao Cao said: "It's an ancient system for an uncle to not sit on his brother's throne." He ordered a pardon. Liu Gong cannot be regarded as a party to Cui Yan and others. He is a famous Confucian scholar and is familiar with astronomy and calendar. However, he was deeply influenced by Song Zhong, Qi Mukai and others. His views are always different from those of Zhengmen-especially the popular ones. Xi's and Shi's studies are at odds with each other. Perhaps Cao Mao and Cui Yan found this person convenient to win over. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The emperor does whatever he says, and he can't even compare to Xinpi's integrity? Of course, the emperor has the power to appoint prime ministers, and if Zhongshu refutes it, he must give sufficient reasons. The reasons given by Shi Xun were: Liu Xiu was not qualified enough to be an official and could not be promoted; and as for Yang Xiu - "The late emperor tried to entrust Xiu to hold secrets, but was eventually imprisoned for 'leaking his teachings back and forth'. If not for the officials who loved his talent, he If you ask him, you will almost certainly die; although the later emperor used Yang Xiu, he would not interfere with the affairs of the government, so it is clear that this person is not worthy of being a prime minister. "The main reason why Cao Cao demoted Yang Xiu was that Yang Xiu was involved with Cao Zhi. In order to fight for the heir, he also used his power to leak state secrets many times - this is a serious crime. How can such a person take charge of state affairs? Your Majesty, do you think that the late emperor wronged him? Cui Yan found reasons for Cao Mao's writing. The two sides clashed for more than a day, and finally they had to take a step back. Liu Gong was appointed as the right servant of Zhongshu, Zheng Hun was promoted to the right servant, Bao Xun, the former right servant of the minister, was promoted to the left servant, and Liu Fang, the subordinate prisoner, was transferred to the right servant. As for Yang Xiu, Cao Mao ordered him to succeed Liu Fang as the subordinate prisoner - I directly appointed the chief officer of the inner court subordinate province, you don't need to do this.Zhongshu approves it. So after going round and round, Yang Dezu was still able to serve as a subordinate prisoner. He entered the Central Committee to discuss affairs every five days and was promoted to deputy prime minister. Then, the twelfth lunar month has ended, New Year's Day has arrived, and history has entered the second year of Huangchu, that is, 217 AD, when there was a great epidemic in the Central Plains (To be continued.)
