At the entrance of the palace, there was no change as usual. Su Wei stood at the door and looked respectfully at the ministers in front of him. Many ministers had already appeared at the entrance of the palace. There was a meeting today and they had arrived early.
Yes, most of them have heard about the content of the court meeting. It seems to be related to official studies, which are about to usher in a new innovation.
Except for the officials at Guanxuetai, everyone else was talking about this matter happily. They were still arguing over whether to charge fees, but after learning that the emperor had issued an edict requiring fees, these people
They no longer quarreled, but criticized Wang Lang wantonly. The person who was speaking out for Wang Lang just a few days ago now had a face full of ridicule.
When mentioning Wang Lang, they would lower their voices and say with a smile, "That guy is so obsessed with fame that he doesn't care about the temple at all. He only thinks about his own political achievements and merits. How can such a person be able to serve as an official?
Why should the chief official of Taiwan be the mentor of young children in the world?"
"Yes, yes, I have seen his utilitarianism before. He runs around all day and donates all his salary to children in government schools. I see that he is just pretending, coveting fame and wealth, and is eager to
Everyone has seen how lucky and noble he is, and he still talks about his trivial achievements all day long... Fortunately, Lord Zhuge gave him a good lesson, and he never dared to speak again."
Everyone started talking about it.
Wang Lang, with all white hair and beard, was standing in the distance, alone, with no one around him, which was very different from the past. These days, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his face no longer had the same glow as before.
He looked at the ministers around him without saying a word, feeling unspeakably bitter in his heart. He lowered his head and sighed helplessly.
At some point, the other courtiers from the Guanxuetai also came over. There were only four officials from the Guanxuetai who could participate in the assessment, and the remaining three had a very close relationship with Hua Xin, and were called the one-stop service of the Guanxuetai.
Headed by Hua Xin, there were constant frictions with Wang Lang on weekdays, and their relationship was not good. He often had great disputes with these three on various issues related to official studies.
Occasionally, he would solve problems by taking action. Although Wang Lang was old, he had practiced swordsmanship for a long time. Hua Xin was really no match for him on his own.
"Oh? Prince? You're here too? How about it? Your health has improved a bit?"
Hua Xin asked with a smile.
Wang Lang suddenly raised his head and looked him in the eyes, "I will never let traitors like you ruin the prosperous age of the Han Dynasty..."
Hearing Wang Lang's words, Hua Xin, Guan Ning, and Bing Yuan did not speak, but the other courtiers around them burst into laughter. Some people directly mocked: "We have heard the temple debate between Zhuge Jun and Wang Jun.
Your Majesty, you don’t have to think about the prosperous times. It’s better to read more books and improve yourself before talking about the prosperous times.”
Wang Lang paused and looked around, "I'm not wrong. Sooner or later, the prosperous age I long for will come... The temple will support all children to go to school, regardless of whether they have money or not... Future generations will definitely despise you.
of..."
Facing the laughter of everyone, Wang Lang turned away and stopped looking at these people.
Hua Xin led the other two people away from here and did not continue to say anything to Wang Lang.
Everyone waited for a moment before they saw Situ's chariot driving slowly over. Everyone quickly put down their voices and stood aside, waiting. Cao Cao got out of the chariot with a smile on his face and full of energy.
During the years, he did what he liked every day. He was not as busy as before, and his headaches quickly improved. He wandered around among the people every day, proposing some seemingly small but extremely important things.
policy.
His prestige in the hearts of the people is also constantly improving. There has never been a Sangong who cares so much about the people and can bring practical changes to the people. When everyone is focusing on the important matters of the family and the country, Cao Cao suddenly pays attention to the people at the bottom.
Living and eating with them made him discover many problems, such as vassalage, washing, betrothal gifts, and other small problems that the ministers would not notice at all.
As soon as Cao Cao got off the carriage, many ministers bowed to him and called him Situ. Cao Cao smiled and greeted everyone in return. Immediately, everyone surrounded him. Cao Cao had a cheerful personality, even though he was respected as Situ.
, he doesn’t have any airs like Situ, he is very kind to the ministers, his words are humorous, and he can often make everyone laugh.
"Hahaha, to be honest, I just had my eldest grandson, and he is in Japan. I really want to go see him as soon as possible..."
Hearing everyone's congratulations, Cao Cao's face burst into laughter.
While they were talking, Taiwei Sun Jian also arrived. Everyone saluted quickly. Sun Jian just returned the salute and stood aside, leading a group of ministers from the Taiwei Mansion without saying a word. After him, Sikong Liu Bei
He had just arrived, but for some reason, his face was a little tired. Like Sun Jian, he usually liked talking with the ministers the most, but now he listened quietly to everyone's words without speaking.
The palace gate was slowly pushed open.
The Third Duke led the ministers and walked into the palace.
As soon as they entered the gate, Liu Bei and Sun Jian trembled, and their steps almost stopped. On both sides of the road leading to the main hall, there were soldiers of the Southern Army standing in armor. In several places, they could even see Nan Jun.
The military captain looked at them with sharp eyes. His fierce eyes made everyone feel uneasy. Looking at everything around them, Liu Bei and Sun Jian unconsciously slowed down.
As for Cao Situ, he didn't have any worries. He even smiled at the Southern soldiers on both sides.
After everyone entered the palace, the palace door was suddenly closed, and everyone just saw the soldiers of the South Army on both sides. Suddenly, the atmosphere became a little depressed, and more and more soldiers of the South Army appeared around.
Many captains of the Southern Army, wearing armor, stood arrogantly on high places, patrolling the surroundings. Seeing such a scene, everyone felt terrified.
"what happened?"
Someone asked in a low voice.
"The Southern Army was originally established to protect the South and North Palaces!!! Appearing in the palace!!! What's surprising???"
"But, this is too bluffing. Why are you still wearing armor, as if you are fighting?"
"This has been the case for the Confederate Army from the very beginning!! As soon as you leave the camp!! You must always be ready for war!! Dressed like this!! It's very reasonable!!!"
"Okay, don't ask him anymore, our ears can't stand it."
Everyone was chatting like this and walked towards the main hall. Looking at Cao Cao's unconcerned and relaxed face, Liu Bei secretly thought to himself that this guy must know the truth, and he might even be involved in this matter. That day, I deliberately
I called the messenger over and mentioned the matter in front of Cao Cao, just to see what would happen next. If he didn't know about it, the messenger reported it to the emperor, and the emperor would definitely take action because of our conversation that day.
However, after two days, the temple was also quiet. Obviously, the emperor did not think there would be any problem with our conversation, so Cao Cao must be one of the people behind the scenes.
Liu Bei secretly guessed, and seeing Cao Cao calm now, he was even more convinced of his suspicions.
When everyone walked to the main hall, under the leadership of Situ Gong, they each sat down. There were no soldiers from the Southern Army in the main hall, which gradually calmed down their panic. Perhaps, it was really people like themselves
He was thinking too much. Only Liu Bei did not let down his guard. He looked at the happy Cao Cao and then at Sun Jian in the distance, but he had his own thoughts in his heart.
If the three ministers are not united, there is no way to deal with the changes in the temple.
In this case, I should stand on the side of the emperor. No matter what the emperor wants to do, just support him. In the temple, if Cao Cao and Sun Jian both stand on the side of the emperor, they will not be able to deal with it on their own.
, if the emperor wanted to change the official system and abolish the three princes, he should also loudly agree. In this way, he would not be able to say that he would still have a place in the changed official system.
Liu Bei was thinking in his mind that a few days ago, while standing at the door of Jimin Terrace, he had already figured something out. After the reform, there were too many institutions that did not belong to each other, making the temple chaotic. At the local level, including supervision, taxation, etc.
The government schools and farming institutions also had no ownership. Some directly obeyed the palace, some obeyed the governor, and some obeyed the county government, which made the place extremely chaotic.
The Emperor may want to change all this. As for the arrival of the Southern Army, the goal is very clear. It starts with the Three Gongs. There is a high possibility that the Emperor wants to abolish the Three Gongs. Liu Bei sees this clearly and understands the Emperor's intentions.
I thought, if he were in charge of the temple, he would act like this. The top and bottom are in chaos, and the huge official organization consumes too much of the national treasury.
In the crowd, Zhuge Liang looked at everyone, and his eyes lingered on the three men for a long time, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei. Earlier, he didn't pay much attention to these people. It wasn't until he was taught a lesson by Xun Yu that he
He understands that he should not underestimate these people, and now, in the court meeting, these are the ones that may cause him the greatest trouble.
On the opposite side, Zhang Fei met Zhuge Liang's gaze, his eyes full of perseverance, and nodded towards him.
Beside him, Xun Yu lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking about.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound coming from the door. Everyone who was talking stopped talking and looked at the door. The sound was extremely sharp and could make people feel a burst of fear. The ministers were at a loss.
He looked at the door, "What is this sound?"
"This is... the sound of armor clashing..." Taiwei Sun Jian said slowly.
An extremely tall figure stood at the door, blocking all light and bringing a large shadow.
It was a tall, muscular, and huge figure, and everyone was staring at him.
The golden crown with shining hair on the head, the colorful and eye-catching robe of flowers, the Tang Ni armor, the beast is terrifying, the lion belt, the flowing cloud red python boots on the feet, holding a halberd, wearing a bow on the back, waist
A quiver hangs in the middle, and a long sword hangs on the left side.
The instrument is majestic and majestic.
Lu Bu lowered his head and looked at the ministers present domineeringly.
At this moment, everyone finally saw the mighty appearance of the greatest warrior of the Han Dynasty.
ps: Happy New Year to everyone, bang bang bang, cough cough, do you understand the meaning? Hahaha.
