    The first year of Huangchu - Xia, June 15th, the Great Court Meeting!

    "Zhouyi - Shuo Gua" says: "Li is Ming Ye, all things see each other, and it is the hexagram of the south." The meaning of this passage is that among the eight trigrams, Li Gua symbolizes light.

    Therefore, during the great court meeting, the emperor sat alone facing south to listen to the affairs of the world, while the ministers stood facing the north to show their loyalty and diligence. But in the court hall of the Wei Empire, there were three people sitting there!

    Cao Pi sat on the dragon chair, his hall was dark, his eye sockets were sunken, and he yawned from time to time. He thought he had not slept well last night, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upward, as if he was happy about something, but it was difficult to show it.  Such a strange look!

    Xiao Yi was sitting on the right side of the imperial steps, with his eyes slightly closed and his aura restrained. From time to time, he scratched his cheeks with his fingers. This action made the officials a little scared. The Grand Master has several habitual actions, which are known to everyone in the government and the public:

    Touching your nose means you are going to kill someone, pulling out your hair means you are thinking about strategies, touching your little black face means you are going to trick someone. I don¡¯t know who the Grand Master is going to trick today. Civil and military ministers are talking to each other.  Look, secretly praying that you are not the unlucky guy!

    Sima Fang, as the new ¡®Taifu¡¯, also got a seat on the imperial steps. He seemed to be sitting upright and as stable as a mountain, but in fact his eyes wandered and he felt uneasy in his heart!

    This is not surprising. The Sima family has a profound background. It is true that they are called the "Millennium Scholar Family". However, among the nine father and son, none of them has mastered military power or established military achievements. Living in a world of great competition where strength is respected, it is inevitable that there will be some lack of confidence.  !

    And the three people sitting in the main hall are a true portrayal of the Cao Wei regime. The three major groups, Cao family, Xiao family, and gentry clan, stand side by side, intrigues and restrict each other!

    "Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"

    "My beloved lords, please excuse yourself. What are you going to say to me this morning?"

    "My minister, Pu She, Xin Pi has this memorial: In accordance with your majesty's decree, I summoned learned men to revise the Zhou Rites. It was declared completed half a month ago, and five thousand volumes were printed, ready to be distributed to court officials.  Learn the rites of a saint!¡±

    "Okay, okay, there is no greater virtue than learning ancient rituals. Please present the newly printed book so that I and my beloved ones can take a look!"

    "According to the order!"

    Four eunuchs carried a large wooden box to the palace. It was filled with newly printed books, which were distributed to the civil and military ministers in turn. Each volume was one foot, five inches and six cents high, and nine inches and three cents wide. The volume was grand and very elegant.

    The pages of the book are made of snow-white, thick mulberry bark paper, which feels excellent to the touch and exudes a light fragrance. The handwriting is in standard regular script, with clear strokes and beautiful appearance. The outermost part is wrapped with a layer of yellow silk with two large characters on it: Zhou.  present!

    "The Rites of Zhou" is a political book written by Zhou Gong, a statesman and thinker in the early Western Zhou Dynasty. It is divided into six chapters: Tianguan, Diguan, Chunguan, Xiaguan, Qiuguan and Dongguan. Its content is extremely rich, covering all nine states in the world.  , astronomical events, astronomical phenomena, as small as ditches and roads, plants, trees, insects and fish, the establishment of a country, politics, law, culture and education, rituals, music, military punishment, taxes and expenditures, food, clothing and accessories everything is included!

    To put it clearly, it is through the ritual and music system to determine the superior and inferior, thereby consolidating the rule of the Emperor of Zhou!

    For example, there are strict regulations on what clothes the emperor wears and what cars he rides. If a minister wears the emperor's clothes or uses the emperor's ritual vessels, it is a crime of transgression, and he will be beheaded in public and the whole family will be executed!

    Unfortunately, in the late Zhou Dynasty, the rituals collapsed and the princes fought, so no one followed the "Zhou Rites". By the time of the Qin and Han Dynasties, due to wars and other reasons, the "Zhou Rites" became even more incomplete, especially missing.  The last winter chapter!

    Since Cao Pi ascended the throne, he has always wanted to establish civil and military skills to enhance his authority. However, the time for war was not ripe and he was not sure of victory, so he had to work on civil affairs.

    So a decree was passed down, asking Xinpi to gather a group of learned people to collect fragments from everywhere, compare and refer to them, and re-complete the "Li" of Zhou as one of his political achievements. This is what happened in the past.

    "Repairing ancient books, inheriting rituals and music, educating the people of the world, and creating a peaceful and prosperous age are the achievements of the ages. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

    ¡­¡­

    "Haha, I don't deserve the merits of a thousand years. I just can't bear to lose the works of the ancestors and let future generations sigh. I pass on my will: Minister Pu She - Xinpi has worked hard and made great achievements. He has increased the number of households by a thousand households, and Yin Yizi has become an official.  , the rest who participate in the restoration of "Zhou Rites" will all be promoted to one level, and each person will be rewarded with two hundred taels of gold and two hundred pieces of brocade!"

    "According to the order!"

    When the emperor has accomplished a great achievement, the ministers will naturally congratulate him and use all kinds of flattery. However, some ministers with high political sensitivity have alreadyIf he commits a serious offense, he is willing to resign from the post of Grand Master, reduce his fiefdom by one county, go home and meditate in isolation for six months, and copy "The Rites of Zhou" a hundred times as punishment, and to reflect on it all the time!  "

    Xiao Yi was quite straightforward. After announcing the punishment for Xiao, he took off his imperial uniform, bowed his hands to the throne, walked out of the Qilin Hall, strolled home and closed the door to reflect on the past.

    Only Cao Pi and the civil and military officials were left stunned, unable to react for a while. What is going on?

    I wanted to use the matter of the crown and the dragon robe to put some pressure on Mr. Xiao. It would be better to scrape off another layer of skin, but Xiao Yi raised his knife and cut off a piece of "big fat meat"!

    A city of Chang'an, plus the three counties of Hongnong, Youfufeng, and Zuofengyi, is equivalent to handing over most of Guanzhong. The official position of Grand Master has also been resigned, and the fiefdom of a county has been reduced. The Xiao family group's vitality has been greatly damaged.  !

    "Since the Grand Master has spoken, let's deal with it according to his wishes. Select smart and capable officials from all over the country to Guanzhong to take over the affairs of Chang'an and the three counties. They must do their best to protect the country and the people!"

    "According to the order!"

    After the shock, there was ecstasy. Cao Pi and the civil and military officials were sharpening their knives and preparing to divide this piece of fat. Everyone was making careful calculations, wanting to eat more and occupy more!

    Eight hundred miles away from Guanzhong, the land is fertile and the products are rich. After being managed by the Xiao family for many years, its prosperity is unparalleled in the world. Chang'an City is a treasure trove of resources and a large population. Its wealth is still higher than that of Luoyang!

    Cao Pi even considered giving up the plan to move the capital to Luoyang and instead directly moving the capital to Chang'an and completely occupying the Xiao family's home base. In this way, Chang'an, Luoyang, Xuchang, and Yecheng were all under his control, and the Wei Dynasty would be as stable as Mount Tai.

    But if this happens, the Xiao family is bound to decline, and the original political balance will be broken. The gentry group will take the opportunity to rise, which may threaten its imperial power?

    It seems that if I find an opportunity, I will issue an imperial edict to restore Grand Master Xiao Yi to his official position, and return the entire county and fiefdom:

    "One way is to prove that you have a generous heart, let Xiao be grateful, and be Wei's watchdog obediently from now on!"

    Second, use the Xiao family to continue to fight against the gentry group, thereby ensuring the stability of Cao Wei's regime!

    Cao Pi had a beautiful thought, but he forgot one important thing. After half his life's efforts, he could only barely suppress this greedy wolf. His abilities were far inferior to his father's. Can he really tame a wolf into a dog?

    Sure enough, before the spoils sharing meeting was over, another Huangmen servant ran up to the hall, also holding a big baggage in his hand (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
