The Wei State, which had lost its troops and lost its territory one after another, had been in hot debate among the government and the public since the Chencang War ended last year.
Emperor Cao Rui was unable to curb this discussion at all. The leaders were the imperial students of Luoyang and the powerful families he had granted authority to for the sake of war.
And he has no intention of containing it.
What the scholars were discussing this time was not similar to the previous depressing idea of "abandoning Liangzhou and using the three auxiliaries in Guanzhong as a barrier", but discussing how to expel the Han army from Guanzhong. In the country, this argument was It is beneficial, and it can more or less inspire Li Shu's common hatred and hatred.
Naturally, sometimes the topic will be biased.
For example, many people have questioned whether Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, was competent for his job.
There was no way, in the face of successive defeats, he who once defeated Jiangdong in Jingxiang and marched thousands of miles to Liaodong to destroy Gongsun was no longer called "capable"! When news of generals being defeated and killed continued to spread to Guandong. , many people have questioned whether it is wise to continue to use him to defend Bashu in Guanzhong.
Especially after Chencang was captured, it was the emperor Cao Rui who humiliated the country to get Jiangdong to give up the alliance with Bashu, which forced Bashu to stop its troops. Instead of gathering elites from all over the Wei State, even the emperor's own troops Sima Yi, who was controlled by both Leopard Cavalry and Luoyang Central Army, repelled...
As a great governor, he cannot resist his insults externally, he cannot calm his chaos internally, he suffers continuous defeats and humiliates his country, how can he continue to be in office? He is greedy for power and does not ask for help from others!
But such discussions slowly became fruitless.
Without him, Taiwei Manchong had just died of illness.
The state of Wei no longer rivals Sima Yi and has no chief governor who can replace him.
So, for people who think Sima Yi is incompetent, what else can they say?
Even if Sima Yi is incompetent, who else can take over the task in times of danger?
If you randomly assign one person to supervise the Yongliang war, you might lose Chang'an in a few months!
Therefore, the government and the public shifted the blame away from Sima Yi and instead focused on the eagerness to explore how to resist Bashu's attack in the future.
Because Emperor Cao Rui reached a consensus on exchanging the land of Jingxiang and Jiangdong, the strategy of triggering a war between Shu and Wu generals was considered by people to be a temporary expediency rather than an eradication plan.
Without him, Jiangdong would be like a lost dog when facing the Wei State. How could he resist the powerful Shu soldiers?
If they can delay Ni Shu for one or two years, allowing Wei to recuperate and ease the difficulties of successive defeats, they will be lucky. How can they have high hopes for them!
It was under this situation that Cao Jiucai, a member of the Wei clan, wrote "On the Six Dynasties" and presented it to Emperor Cao Rui.
It discusses the rise and fall of the six dynasties of Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han and Wei. It is recommended that Cao Rui treat the children of the clan well and enfeoff the clan members, grant them military and political power, strengthen the weak branches, so as to restrain the internal aristocratic families from getting bigger and resist the invasion of foreign enemies. , consolidate the Cao Wei world.
Moreover, he also copied the Tangdi chapter of "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya" at the end of the above table.
Its purpose is to reiterate that "brothers are jealous of each other within the wall, and they are protected from their insults by outsiders."
In other words, Cao Jiong was giving covert advice.
It is claimed that in the past, the matter of "Wei seizing the direct descendants" has passed away with the death of Emperor Wen Cao Pi, King Cao Zhi of Chen Si and King Cao Zhang of Rencheng. Now that the name has been decided, there is no longer any dispute over the country, and it comes at a time when foreign enemies are frequently committing crimes. At this time, it is reasonable to use the talents of the clan to guard the world of Cao Wei.
Cao Jiong's father was the ancestral brother of Emperor Wu Cao Cao.
In terms of blood relationship, since he is neither a public nor a king, he has no chance of ascending to the throne.
Therefore, his remonstrance was really out of justice and not out of selfishness.
It was precisely because of this that Cao Rui's mentality changed and he did not reject the above table.
Since he came to the throne, Gai Yin has treated the clans from Wei Wu and Cao Cao's lineage as if they were threats and guarded them like prisoners during the period of Emperor Wen Cao Pi.
Perhaps, Cao Jiong's appearance has merit?
Cao Rui vaguely came up with such an idea with his heart and mind haggard as a ruler of Shu, and asked the temple officials to discuss whether this move was feasible.
Naturally, this also inspired many scholars to write letters and discuss this matter.
And Li Jian, who was currently staying in Jibei Kingdom, heard about this incident and couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and secretly sighed: The time has come for what I planned to do when I entered Wei!
Yes, they are Li Jian and Li Wence who were sent to Wei by Zheng Pu.
In the past, he used his study tours to hide from others. After traveling to Beihai, Qingzhou via Luoyang, he stayed in Zhuxu County and listened intently to the lectures of the great Confucian Guan Ning.
And he also took the opportunity to become famous.
Being ordered by the Wei government not to promulgate the government of Bashu anymore, he gave Guan Ning the annotated version of the "Thousand Character Classic" he copied and asked him to explain the absurdities in it.
At that time, the "Thousand Character Classic" was circulated in every state and county in Wei State.
However, due to taboos, the aristocratic families who obtained this article from other sources did not blatantly claim that it was Zheng Pu, and there were countless annotations missing in the article.
Obviously, Guan Ning, who had no utilitarian intentions and was admired by the whole country, would not be taboo about this.
After reading the annotated version of "The Thousand Character Classic", he praised it very much.
He claimed that those explanations were absurd, but they made it easier for children who were curious about the world to listen to teachings and be enlightened. He also did not hesitate to label Zheng Pu as a "genius in the world".
I also admire Li Jian who came here with a letter.
He was asked to set up an elementary school beside his lectures to enlighten the children in Zhuxu's hometown.
Therefore, Li Jian's name suddenly became popular in the heart of the Central Plains.
Last year, Guan Ning, who was eighty-four years old, died of illness. Li Jian and other scholars who came here to pay tribute to him for three months in front of the tomb, then turned around and entered Yanzhou.
It almost went straight to Jibei Kingdom.
Because of his deliberate selection of "win-weary" candidates, Cao Zhi, who inherited the title of King Cao Zhi of Chen Si, is now the King of Jibei in Wei.
When famous people pass by, Cao Zhi will naturally entertain them.
But this time, in addition to the family of the commander-in-chief, there was also the Prime Minister of Jibei, Zhuge Dan, who was attending the banquet.
However, it is said that Zhuge Dan, who had been an official for a long time, had been deposed because of the "glorious case" and had been looking for a comeback in his official career. When he saw that his former friend Xia Houxuan was re-appointed by Emperor Cao Rui because he had given up on grandiosity and was more practical. , he also began to change his past mistakes and learn from others.
It didn't take long for him, who was already a celebrity, to be praised by the world.
He was also recommended to the temple for appointment again under the inspection of the nine-grade official system.
After the emperor Cao Rui learned about it, because of the unfavorable external war and the melancholy of the decline of good men in the Wei Wu period, he put past the past and asked him to try to serve as the prime minister of Jibei.
Zhuge Dan was extremely grateful for this.
He also cherishes the opportunity to start his career again.
I even wanted to make some achievements and return to the Luoyang Temple to serve.
When Cao Jiong went to the temple to trigger a public discussion on whether to use the imperial clan in Wei, he was naturally also paying attention to the behavior of Cao Zhi, the king of Jibei. Now, after learning that Cao Zhi hosted a banquet for Li Jian, he spontaneously came to discuss with the banquet. Not surprising.
Moreover, Li Jian's comments made him feel that his trip was worthwhile.
