Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 355
"The prince and Lord Xing are not here for the official assessment. I don't know. Do you have any suggestions?"

The emperor frowned, looked at the officials and asked.

Near the end of the year, the emperor finally held a court meeting. All the ministers thought it was Xing Ziang's matter, so they rushed over, full of doubts in their hearts. They wanted to know what Xing Ziang was doing in the north and what he wanted to do, but What they didn't expect was that the emperor called them here in such a hurry, and it turned out that it was just for the assessment.

No, when Xing Ziang and Wang Fu competed for the position of chief officer, the emperor ordered Cai Yong to be the leader and the prince to supervise. Why did you ask us again today?

Could it be that the prince fell out of favor?The officials thought of the rumor that everyone heard in Luoyang. Although the rumor has passed for several months, the Embroidered Clothes Emissary also arrested a large number of officials and scholars who discussed the matter privately, but the rumor has not disappeared. , On the contrary, there is a lot of uproar, and it has become a well-known secret.

What's more, the emperor has never personally spoken out to explain to the officials that many ministers who are worried about the prince suddenly feel that this is a good opportunity to inquire about the emperor's mind from the side. It would be great if you intend to change the crown prince, as long as the crown prince who ruled Gongyang is not in charge, it will be a great blessing to the world.

These ministers, especially the old ministers left over from the previous emperor's period, have great complaints about the emperor who ruled Gongyang, but they dare not express it, because they all know the strength of the emperor, and they dare not provoke him. During the time of the first emperor, they would not be like this. Back then, when Emperor Xiaohuan was in power, they were not like this.

Although Emperor Xiaohuan opened the party prison, he would not kill them for a word of disagreement. Even if they were imprisoned by the party, they still had the upper hand in morality, and their prestige skyrocketed. Partisans are proud of being punished, but today, without a word, their heads fall to the ground. Because of their high prestige, ministers like themselves will not gain any reputation if they are executed.

Furthermore, the emperor who governs Gongyang doesn't care about their qualifications at all, they are all old ministers, the emperor doesn't use them as virtuous sages, but what kind of king talisman, a traitor like Yang Qiu bullies them On the head, there are young scholars like Xing Ziang and Xun You who have surpassed them. The emperor never looks at morality or appearance when employing people, as long as he has talent.

Such an emperor, even if it seems to be a prosperous world now, will definitely cause big troubles in the future. The country is not a country. In the past, they did not have the courage to dare to participate in the prince's affairs. However, now, the emperor intends to act like this to add fuel to the flames They still dare to do the things that they dare to do. It is best to let Gongyang rule the world and stay in this life, so as not to let future generations suffer from it again.

With this in mind, the atmosphere of the entire temple gradually became a little strange.

Cai Yong was stunned for a long time, but he remembered that just the day before yesterday, the emperor called him into the palace, held his hand, and told himself that he should be in charge of the assessment and take good care of the prince, why did he suddenly Asked about the minister's arrival, Cai Yong was a little dazed, he looked at the emperor for a long time, and noticed that the emperor's eyes also gave him a lot of attention.

He stepped forward helplessly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, isn't the minister in charge of this matter, should the prince supervise it?"

All the officials stared at him with eager eyes, just waiting for your words, so as to see the emperor's mind. After hearing Cai Yong's words, they found that the emperor's face was a little hesitant. This hesitation is undoubtedly To their great joy, doesn't this mean that the emperor has changed his mind?
The emperor hesitated for a long time before saying: "Cai Gong, I see that you are extremely tired today. How about leaving this matter to others?"

The emperor didn't mention the matter of the prince, but just wanted to abolish the previous decision, and all the officials were overjoyed. Who is Cai Yong?The prince's wife and father, if the emperor would not even use Cai Yong
Cai Yong was even more puzzled, frowned, and the stubborn old man's temper also came up, and he said with some displeasure: "Your Majesty, earlier, Your Majesty ordered the minister to prepare for it. It's not that the minister is greedy for this position, but the minister has already decided Roughly speaking, if His Majesty replaces someone else, the assessment here will only take a few days, but can it still be complete? Changing generals during a war is a taboo for military strategists, and is it wrong to govern the country?"

"Mr. Cai, the matter of the scientific research has been roughly outlined in previous years. Why is it incomplete? Recruiting scholars for the country is the most important thing. If your majesty is interested, why do you say so much?" Immediately, a minister stood up to refute Dao, in their words, it seems that they are all for supporting the emperor, but what they really think in their hearts is unknown.

The Son of Heaven took a deep look at him, nodded his head, and expressed his agreement. This action made more people come out and began to criticize Cai Gong's words just now. Afraid, without flinching, he sharply accused: "In the past, there were precedents in the assessment, but what was the result? Corruption and cruelty are rampant! Could it be that Er and others still want to use the old strategies to do today's things?"

"Doesn't Mr. Cai think that among all the officials, no one except Mr. Gong can think of a way to cure bad diseases? You know, there are many good doctors!"

"You are a quack doctor!"

"Who can discuss with this old man the essentials of the new law?"

"Who can propose a method of improvement at this time?"

"The dog barks endlessly, and there is no pen or ink in his chest. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Cai Yong couldn't bear it anymore, he yelled at these ministers, more and more people participated in the battle, even Jia Xu and Xun You were dispatched, standing behind Cai Yong, the emperor carefully observed these officials, Remembering them one by one in my heart, at this moment, Cai Yong has not stopped his abuse, this gentleman who has always been humble and polite, really broke out at this moment.

Showed to the ministers, the power of great Confucianism, great Confucianism is not necessarily the kind that draws swords and cuts people, there is also a kind of Confucianism that makes you unable to refute when you speak, and you are blushing, at a loss, grit your teeth and bear it Seeing such a rare situation, the emperor did not interrupt Cai Yong, until Cai Yong scolded each of them, and the emperor waved his hand.

"Cai Gong, this matter, we will do as before. Don't get angry, don't get angry."

Hearing what the emperor said, Cai Yong calmed down his anger and gradually calmed down.

"Your Majesty, as a king, you should keep your word." Cai Yong just said something calmly, and then returned to his seat.

The emperor shook his head, smiled, and didn't reply. The court meeting ended like this. When he returned to the mansion, the little fat man was waiting anxiously for the emperor. When he saw his father walking in, the little fat man walked up with a smile , When the emperor sat down, he sat beside the emperor and asked, "Father, what's the matter?"

"How about what?"

"A matter of the court meeting?"

"Well, it's a good thing they couldn't hold back after all."

"Father, what are you waiting for? Capture them and execute them!" The little fat man said eagerly.

The emperor lowered his head and looked at the little fat man, but he ignored him. He left the little fat man with many talents who can be reused. Appointing these people can establish virtue. However, the emperor should not only establish virtue, but also establish prestige. Among these guys, those who endanger Bian'er must be dealt with in advance, and the rest must be reserved for Bian'er Liwei.
