    Wei Emperor Cao Mao was in a pretty good mood these days.  This is of course not because Shixun fell ill and was about to die.  Although Cui Yan saw Tian'er making remarks in front of the young emperor and slandering Shixun's government, he was basically right. Cui Jigui wanted to face him. Since everyone knew that he and Shixun were at odds, he went straight to the other side.  If you open the door, you are suspected of avenging private revenge; secondly, Xun Zeng was trusted by Cao Cao, and there was no fundamental conflict of interest between him and Cao Mao. The young emperor still relied heavily on his father-in-law. How could Cui Yan be so virtuous?  And dare to slander?  Therefore, Cao Mao's current view of Shixun is: There is no doubt about the loyalty and ability of his uncle-in-law, but his governance is in line with the troubled times, focusing on businessmen, rewarding meritorious officials, and employing poor people, in order to unite all the forces that can be united to the maximum extent and extract the maximum amount of money.  All resources that can be extracted can enrich the country and strengthen the army and compete in the world.  But when the world is unified, order is re-established and the people rest, his approach may not be suitable, let alone the law for all generations.  Elderly people are all stubborn. Although Xun is not that old, at least he is no more unwilling to change his politics than Cui Yan, so I have to gradually gather power and clean up the situation.  Therefore, when Xun fell ill, Cao Mao may have felt that God had given him a good opportunity to seize power and change the government. However, if Xun could not afford it, it would actually be of no benefit to the stability of the court and the governance of the little emperor.  He would never expect Shi Xun to die right now, so he went to visit him in person. After returning to the palace, he also prayed to his ancestors, hoping that his father could live longer.  Cui Yan, Yang Xiu and others were naturally aware of this, but some people misunderstood the situation of rebellion. Ren Shuji of Huangmen thought he was smart and said to Cao Mao: "If you don't hide it, your majesty can make great achievements." The eunuchs used in the court of Cao Wei  Not much, less than a quarter of what it was during the Huan Ling period of the Later Han Dynasty. The main root cause was the chaos among the eunuchs in the Later Han Dynasty. Although Cao Cao came from a family of eunuchs, he had long since transformed into the vanguard of the scholar-bureaucrats against the enemy eunuchs.  He naturally hated eunuchs.  Of course, as long as the tradition of emperors having multiple concubines remains unchanged, eunuchs in the palace will not disappear.  So I raised some of them, but I was told not to interfere in state affairs.  And in view of the chaos among the Changshis in the Later Han Dynasty, Cao Cao abolished all the relevant titles. Now the highest-ranking eunuch in the palace is Huangmen.  This Ren Shuji was originally a eunuch of the Han Dynasty.  He served as an attendant to Emperor Cao and Empress Cao, and also helped Shixun during the rebellions of Geng Ji and Wei Huang, and was rewarded by Cao Cao for this achievement.  Later, when the Han Dynasty came to Wei, Ren Shuji refused to follow Liu Xie to become a vassal, and asked for help everywhere.  Finally he stayed and became one of the few great eunuchs in Cao Wei's palace.  The eunuch's wealth and life were all tied to the imperial power, so Ren Shuji instinctively welcomed Cao Mao anytime and anywhere, but he didn't expect that he would flatter Cao Mao this time. Cao Mao was furious when he heard this, pointed his halberd and yelled: "How dare you, the human ear of your temple,  How dare you talk about state affairs? Your Majesty's life and death!" He was ordered to be dragged down and beaten hard, and then sent back to his hometown.  Cui Yan and Yang Xiu came to see Cao Mao and wanted to ask.  Now that Duke Ling is seriously ill and unable to take charge, and he is not expected to recover, will the position of Shu Ling be changed to someone else?  Your Majesty, do you have any suitable candidates?  As a result, Ren Shuji happened to be beaten.  After asking about the reason, Cui Yan couldn't help but ponder and said: "Your Majesty's love is so deep for Hongfu, but he doesn't care about God's grace and takes the throne by force. If he knows his shame, he would rather be ashamed!" The reason why he is like this!  The reason for sighing is that after the "Gaoling Incident", Shixun returned to the capital Luoyang and used Huanfan's plan.  A series of counterattacks against the inner court began.  Shi Xun originally thought that his disciples and former officials were all over the world, and his reputation was at the top of the sky. After Cao Cao's death, he became an unshakable force.  After this coup, I realized that all this was false.  Although there are many disciples and old officials, many of the old ones have died, and the young ones have not yet succeeded. Even Zhuge Liang, who has become the center of the imperial court, and Wei Yan, who actually controls the military, want to control the political power.  You have to grow up for another ten or twenty years.  Zhuge Liang, you have to wait for Zhong Yao and Chen Qun to retreat before you can come forward. As for Wei Yan and others, you have to wait for all the first generation of Cao Xiahou to die.  Therefore, Shixun feels that he has helped these children on the horse, and they have to give them a ride again. Otherwise, the current important ministers in the DPRK can only be regarded as his allies, not party members, and they will not be able to truly inherit and carry forward their own ideas, protect and maintain their own family.  policy.  You see, if Cui Yan comes out and bluffs, and Cao Mao comes out and shows off his power, won¡¯t the prime ministers become intimidated?  This cowardice was not only due to fear of conflict with the imperial power, but also because Zhong Yao, who felt that it was no big deal to take one or two steps back from the emperor, could see this in his statement in front of Gaoling.  They may not be willing to try their best to maintain the various rules and regulations they have established, and even if they are willing, they may not be capable enough. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By Cao Shen, are considered to be the first in meritorious service.  So after returning to the capital, Shixun gradually installed party members in the DPRK.  First, Jiang Ji was transferred from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Personnel, and the personnel affairs were stabilized., Henan Yin Pei Qian was appointed as the Minister of War. Pei Qian knew little about military affairs, and all power fell into the hands of the minister Zhuge Liang.  Pei Qian was succeeded as Henan Yin, and the person who controlled the Gyeonggi area was Sima Zhongda.  "Then Princess Shanyang brought her young daughter into the palace, paid homage to her mother, the Empress Dowager Bian, and took the opportunity to ask for her husband's official reinstatement. Although he was the emperor's son-in-law, he had been working odd jobs in various departments without any actual duties or subordinates.  So after Bian's reminder, he was her son-in-law after all. In theory, he was closer than his unrelated grandson Cao Mao. Cao Mao was forced to appoint Fu as the leader of the Central Army, and he was in charge of the military together with Xia Houchong, the Central Protector.  It was by relying on these various arrangements that Shixun was able to gradually take back Cao Mao's power back to the inner court. It was a pity that the plan was just on track when the epidemic hit and he suddenly fell ill.  Before he fell ill, he was planning to call Zhang Ji and Zhang Derong as Minister of Yu to replace the deceased Sima Lang. However, due to his illness, Cao Mao was recommended by Cui Yan and immediately handed over this important financial department to Runan.  Cheng Bing.  Cheng Bing, courtesy name Deshu, was a scholar and a long history scholar. He also studied under Zheng Xuan. However, perhaps because of his long wandering abroad, he was not related to the mainstream sect (or rather sect) of the Zheng sect such as Xi Lu, Xu Ci, and Ren Gu.  I am not familiar with him, but I am an old friend of Cui Yan.  It is said that when Xun Xun heard Huan Fan talk about this on the sick bed, he became very angry and said in his heart that I have too many things to do and I don¡¯t take care of them. You, Xi Hongyu, appointed yourself the leader of the Zheng clan, but you didn¡¯t even think of winning over this junior brother, so that he finally fell into the trap.  In the hands of Cui Yan, he is really a loser!  Bringing it back, Cui Yan lamented that Cao Mao treated Shixun so well, but as a human minister, you actually want to steal the power of the Lord. As Hongfu, do you have no shame?  Yang Dezu next to him thought of the replacement of Zhongshu Ling, and immediately said to Cui Yan: "This can be used to understand the emperor's heart. It cannot be said that Ling Gong Zhongshu is" After the plan was settled, the two people immediately asked to see him.  Cao Mao, Cui Yan first said, now that Zhongshu Ling is ill and bedridden, which has affected the daily work of Zhongshu Desk, have you considered changing someone to be Zhongshu Ling?  Cao Mao frowned and said: "Your Majesty is still here, and the illness only lasts a few days. How can it be easier?" Who is not sick or in trouble? It's not like Xun has been sick for several months and can't get up. He has only been sick for a few days.  I just want to change the prime minister, but it's not appropriate to do so.  Yang Xiu smiled slightly and said: "I think privately, I am the one who is respected by the world and is in charge of Zhongshu. If he is dismissed, there will be no one with the same reputation who can succeed" Unless you take the old ministers Liu Ye and Jia  Xu and others were summoned, or Zhong Yao was asked to leave Shangshu and take charge of Zhongshu, otherwise there would be no suitable person to replace Shixun as the important post of Zhongshu Ling.  There will no longer be one in the backstage, but Zuo Pushe will perform his duties." Cui Yan nodded, and then pointed out Yang Xiu's intention: "Even if Zhong Lingjun becomes an official, he can always be named Shangshu without changing the Shangshu order.  This is also a plan to draw money from the bottom of the cauldron. "Shi Xun served as Zhongshu Ling, and Zhong Yao served as Shangshu Ling. Both of them were outstanding among the heroes of the Wei Dynasty. If they follow the example of the Later Han Dynasty in building cloud platforms and hanging portraits of heroes, they will not only  Definitely selected, definitely in the top ten.  Among the new generation of courtiers, who do you think can compare to these two?  How can you be so virtuous and capable as to dare to take over the posts of Zhongshu and Shangshu?  So simply let Shixun and Zhong Yao hold the honor of being the chief officers of the second station until their death. They will no longer have relevant positions in the future.  As a result, the six ministers of the outer court originally assisted the government, but Cao Mao forced two inner court officials into it through the "Gaoling Incident". If the two orders of Zhongshu and Shangshu were not established in the future, it would mean that Xun and Zhong Yao were unable to do so due to illness.  Whether a director voluntarily retires due to old age, or simply dies, and still returns to the number of six phases, directly erasing two seats from the outer court, the power of the inner court will surely be restored.  "Your Majesty, please promulgate an edict on this to show your kindness to the meritorious officials." This shows respect for Shixun, Zhong Yao and other veterans. Even if the officials in the foreign court understand our intentions, there is nothing they can do to stop us.  When Cao Mao heard this, he couldn't help nodding his head: "This is a great idea." Then he took out a memorial letter from the case and handed it to Cui and Yang: "It's time for a military report to come" The little emperor has been in a very good mood these days.  Well, it was born out of military retribution.  In fact, it was reported a few days ago that Cao Ren urged Huang Zhong to march directly to Yongchang and captured the city. Lu Kai died in the rebel army and Wang and his wife were captured.  It was a pity that Liu Chan could not be caught. Zhao Yun protected him and broke out of the siege, fleeing all the way into the wild land of the southwest.  Cao Ren reported that there were only primitive jungles and cannibals in those places. Even the Han Dynasty had never been able to extend its power there. It was estimated that Zhao Yun and Liu Chan would die before they could run very far.  If a large army is sent to pursue it, it will be difficult to replenish supplies; if a small force is sent to pursue it, they may not be able to find it in the forest.  So let's forget it. "Since he can't rise again, it's better to rest and let him fend for himself." Cao Mao replied, "Okay, you can do it for me. Although Zhao Yun is brave, Liu Chan is still a child. I don't believe it."  He can make a comeback one day. Since he has gone far away, there is no need to go deep.??.  " Then today we received another report that Deng Ai, Shi Bao and others had conquered the country.  (To be continued.)
