I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 367: The idiot Li Jian, Zhuge Liang in vain, the Wei Dynasty won again!
In September, a major event happened in Luoyang that shocked the world.

Wei Emperor Cao Fang failed in his virtue because he favored villains.

Under the advice of many ministers, Sima Yi finally became heartbroken and decided to abolish Cao Fang and establish a new virtuous king.

As for who to establish?
Soon the ministers also gave the answer. Cao Mao, the Duke of Gaogui Township, was the most virtuous among the clan, so he was appointed.

The process of this matter is very simple, so simple that it is over without wasting a little bit of paper.

From the actors to the director, everyone is very satisfied.

Not long after arriving in Yuzhou, Wang Su, who was about to rush to Luoyang, suddenly received a letter from Sima Yi, asking him to go to Tan County, Donghai State, Xuzhou to meet the new king with the instructions of Queen Mother Guo.

Wang Su was really shocked to learn that Cao Fang was deposed.

But after calming down, he immediately went to Tan County to find someone.

The news that Cao Fang had lost his moral integrity and was deposed was also conveyed to all states within a few days.

For example, the version circulated in Luoyang is that the deposed emperor Cao Fang not only favored the traitor, but also tried to overturn the case of the rebel Cao Shuang, with the intention of contacting Cao Shuang's remnants and assassinating the pillar of the Wei Kingdom, Shi Sima Taifu.

"Sima Yi is ambitious!" Wang Jinhu said angrily, "Father, sooner or later the old thief Sima will target us! Why don't we raise our troops now!"

It is also said that the imperial court's defeat in Jingzhou this year was caused by Cao Shuang's remnants tipping off the Shu thieves.

The so-called Cao Fang lost his virtue and favored treacherous ministers and villains. This matter can be written in a big way.

Wang Ling can trust him with confidence and boldness.

Cao Fang knew this and still trusted Cao Shuang!

"How about contacting Jizhou Guanqiu Qian?"

Linghuyu was the governor of Yanzhou, an important minister of Cao Wei, and Wang Ling's nephew.

Wang Guangdao: "No! Sima Yi has withdrawn his elite troops from Guanzhong. Guo Huai is in Luoyang and has deployed heavy troops in Yuzhou. If we act rashly now, we will be the first to be attacked by Sima Yi!"

It is also said that when Cao Shuang was the governor of Liangzhou, he had close contacts with the Shu thieves and had already become the internal correspondent of the Shu thieves in the Wei Dynasty.

For a moment, all parties were shocked.

Why is Your Majesty plotting rebellion?
Are you worthy of Taizu!

The Taifu was kind. He only abolished Cao Fang and did not embarrass him.

Cao Shuang's faction was all the work of Shu thieves planted in the Wei Dynasty.

After this incident spread in Luoyang, it quickly spread to Yuzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places.

Wang Ling said: "We raised our troops from Yangzhou, and Linghu Yu raised his troops from Yanzhou to seize Yuzhou in the middle. Then all the outstanding men from all over the world will surely gather together to attack the Sima clan!"

"How can Guanqiu Qian be of the same mind as us?"

"We can't just sit back and wait for death." Wang Ling sighed after putting down the report, with a serious look on his face, "Linghu Yu wrote to me. He thinks we can support Cao Biao, King of Chu."

If only Cao Fang was deposed, it might not be enough to fully demonstrate Sima Yi's political talents.

"Then we have to sit back and wait for death?" Wang Jinhu said.

"Sima Zhongda is so clever!" Wang Ling sneered after reading the report. "I lost the battle. In order to maintain my prestige, I let the emperor take the blame!"

"Absolutely not. Father, I think we should test Guanqiu Qian's tone first, and even try to instigate the relationship between Guanqiu Qian and Sima Yi, causing trouble to go north. It won't be too late for us to plan to raise troops."

"Guanqiu Qian is very scheming. He won't show any flaws. You can't count on him!" Wang Ling denied Wang Guang's opinion. "Sima Yi lost the battle and now he is willing to depose the emperor to show his prestige. This shows that he We are also anxious. If we keep waiting and Sima Yi calms down those who disobey him one by one, it will be too late! "

At this time, Wang Ling suddenly received news that an envoy from Luoyang had arrived. The person who came was Huabiao.

"I've met the governor." After seeing Wang Ling, Hua Biao was very polite and respectful.

"Weirong came to Yangzhou, but I couldn't welcome him from afar, so please forgive me!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Hua Biao said quickly, "I came here on the order of the Queen Mother to announce the good news to the Governor."

"Oh?"

"The governor has made great contributions in Yangzhou. The imperial court promoted the governor to the rank of general of chariots and cavalry. He was the same as the three divisions and was given the title of Sikong. He was in charge of the Jianghuai military affairs."

Wang Ling was slightly startled. He didn't expect someone to be promoted at this time.

Wang Ling quickly took it and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Wang Sikong, this is the official seal of the Grand Tutor." Hua Biao reminded.

"Master?"

"The Taifu has always respected you. He said that the year before last, Sun Quan went north and attacked Yangzhou in a large scale. It was you who used the troops well and defeated Sun Quan and secured the border defense."

Wang Ling smiled with some shame: "It was only the Taifu who came to help me in person that allowed me to win. The one who deserves the greatest credit for this should be the Taifu."

"Hahaha, they are all worthy ministers of our great Wei Dynasty, why should they be so arrogant?" Hua Biao said, "The Taifu said that he would not rest assured until Yangzhou was handed over to you. When the Shu thieves entered the country, the imperial court Many people suggested that Yangzhou soldiers and horses should be dispatched to Yuzhou, but Taifu opposed all opinions and believed that Yangzhou was an important city of the country and should not be transferred easily. "

"I am very grateful for the great respect my master has shown me. Please tell my master that I will not let him down."

Huabiao was welcomed in and entertained with good wine and meat.

After September 15th, Luoyang suddenly ushered in the second great purge.

A group of officials who criticized Sima Yi's military strategy in June and July were arrested and severely interrogated.

Finally, under the serious questioning of those judges who loved the Wei Dynasty, they finally confessed their heinous crime: Tong Shu!

It is said that the person who reported these people was Wang Hun, Cao Shuang's former subordinate.

Wang Hun also produced a large amount of evidence that these officials had access to Shu.

Later, Wang Hun publicly stated in Luoyang: The series of defeats against Shu thieves starting from the Qinglong period were all inescapably related to these traitors who had access to Shu.

For a time, Wang Hun became a virtuous person hotly discussed by countless people.

Some people say that when Cao Shuang was in power, Wang Hun was forced to become Cao Shuang's subordinate.

During his tenure with Cao Shuang, the righteous Wang Hun did not dare to forget his loyalty to Wei, and always remembered Wei's kindness to him.

After more than a year of enduring humiliation and collecting a lot of evidence that Cao Shuang collaborated with the enemy, he finally received the support of justice from Sima Taifu, the pillar of the Wei Kingdom.

Throughout September, countless celebrities went to visit Wang Hun.

At the end of September, the Luoyang court granted Wang Hun the position of Minister of Huangmen and the Imperial Academy to offer wine.

On the first day after serving as the guest of honor at the Imperial College, Wang Hun gave a lecture in the Imperial College.

He said this to the imperial students: "Do you think that the imperial court's abandonment of Guanzhong is an act of retreat?"

"It's not! Guanzhong has long been dilapidated. There is no need for us to continue to station troops there! Giving up Guanzhong is a clever move! Don't think Zhuge Kongming is so powerful. In fact, he just made a mistake! He has a false reputation! Li Jian It’s just a straw bag!”

"This time, the imperial court won."
