Luoyang City-Tai Chi Hall!
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, you are all rebellious ministers and traitors, without any loyalty to the emperor. Sooner or later, I will kill you all - bang!"
"Your Majesty, calm down and be careful of the dragon body!"
At dusk, Cao Pi was lying on Long's writing desk, reviewing the memorials sent from various places. As a result, he became more and more angry. He reached out and swept all the memorials to the ground. He also threw out the cinnabar imperial pen, which fell into three pieces!
The eunuchs in charge of serving hurriedly stepped forward to clean up the mess and replaced the imperial pen. Judging from the way they were calm and cooperative, it was obvious that this was not the first time.
It has been more than four years since he ascended the throne and became emperor. If you ask Cao Pi how he felt about sitting on the Dragon Throne, I am afraid you can only get two words - regret. Yes, Cao Pi really regretted it!
"I regret that I coveted the throne and forcibly usurped the Han Dynasty and proclaimed myself emperor when the time was not yet ripe!"
"I regret that in order to gain the support of the gentry group, I went against my father's political line and introduced the Nine-Rank Officials Law, which chilled the hearts of the people all over the world!
????????????????? Regret even more that in my eagerness to reduce power, I completely offended the Xiao family, and even created the terrible situation of dividing the east and the west!
There are causes in the past and consequences in the aftermath. Because of political mistakes again and again, Cao Pi is now very passive, and all kinds of negative consequences have also exploded
First of all, using the ninth-grade official law, the gentry group completely controlled the selection of talents. In the first one or two years, in order not to look too ugly, they recommended a few students from poor families and assigned a few small official positions!
But now, there is not a single student from a poor family. Even those serving officials who come from poor families have been squeezed out and suppressed, so many people have abandoned their official positions and gone into seclusion!
For example, Wang Xiu, the regular servant of Sanqi, Zhang Ji, Jingzhao Yin, and Li Tong, general Zhenwei, are all senior ministers who started their careers following Cao Cao. Because of their bad background, either from a poor family or a bandit, they were always criticized by the gentry group. After being hit hard, they all resigned angrily and stopped working.
Nowadays, the Luoyang court has almost become a gentry monopoly. Let alone the children of poor families who have no chance to succeed, even Cao Pi, the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, has difficulty in promoting a few confidants or implementing any national policies. The gentry officials They are obedient and contradictory, and they don¡¯t take the imperial edict to heart at all!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????mb out out to restrain the Xiao family, but didn't want to shoot myself in the foot. I had known this, why bother?
Secondly, those officials and students from poor families who had not made it in Luoyang fled to Chang'an one after another. The imperial examination system was in full swing, and a large number of outstanding talents were selected every year. Its fairness and rationality were greatly praised by the world, and the Xiao family took this to deeply understand the situation. people's hearts!
Nowadays, within the Wei State, Luoyang is called the Eastern Selection and Chang'an is the Western Selection. In terms of quantity and quality of talents, the Western Selection is far higher than the Eastern Selection. This also proves that the imperial examination system is far better than the Eastern Selection. The ninth-grade official law has been adopted!
Cao Pi even privately thought about implementing the imperial examination system in the east to regain some people's support, but after thinking about it again and again, he finally did not dare to take actual action!
The gentry group has grown into a powerful force. Now snatching meat from their mouths will inevitably cause a huge backlash, and your own throne may be shaken. Don't forget that there are many emperors who died inexplicably in history!
In the end, the Xiao family controlled Chang'an, and the Cao family was in Luoyang, forming a divide between east and west. They were evenly matched at the moment, and no one could swallow the other!
But in the long run, the west wind is bound to overwhelm the east wind. As the first emperor of the Wei Dynasty, he must plan for future generations. How to change this unfavorable situation?
"Your Majesty, it's time to go to Renshou Palace to say hello to the Empress Dowager!"
"Okay, change my clothes for me!"
"According to the order!"
Since moving the capital to Luoyang, Queen Mother Bian has been in poor health. She has taken an unknown amount of decoctions. Instead of getting better, her condition has become heavier and heavier. Now it is difficult to even get out of bed!
Cao Pi was indeed mean and ungrateful, but he was still a filial son. Even though he was busy with government affairs, he still took time to visit his mother every day. He also tasted the medicine more than once, and it was a good talk in the court!
Of course, Cao Pi's filial piety to his mother not only fulfills his duties as a son, but also has other political purposes:
???????????????????????????????????????????
Secondly, Empress Dowager Bian was also one of the important reasons why there was no war between Chang'an and Luoyang. The old Empress Dowager rode a crane back to the west that day, which was probably the time when Xiao and Cao's soldiers met!
But Cao Pi knew in his heart that ten of himself were tied to?People, one is the Empress Zhen Dao of the main palace of the Wei Dynasty, and the other is King Xiao Huai Cao Xiong, they knelt down and saluted Cao Pi one after another!
As a daughter-in-law, it is Zhen Dao¡¯s duty to take care of her sick mother-in-law. It is normal for her to appear in the palace, but it is unusual for Cao Xiong to be here.
Cao Xiong was the fourth son born to Empress Dowager Bian, and he was usually very well-behaved. Therefore, after Cao Pi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he named his younger brother Xiaohuai King, and he had the fiefdoms of Donglai, Beihai, and Chengyang counties. The strength is second to none among the princes and kings surnamed Cao!
According to the laws of the country: After the princes and kings took over the vassal, they were not allowed to leave the fiefdom without any reason, and they were not allowed to enter the capital, interfere with military and state affairs, or make friends with courtiers. Otherwise, they would be suspected of treason, and the vassal would be abolished in the lightest case, or sentenced to death in the worst case!
However, during the period when Empress Dowager Bian was ill, she missed her sons very much, especially her youngest son. Cao Xiong also made many requests to visit the court to check on her mother's condition, and she was willing to deprive herself of the throne. Such an act of sincerity and filial piety is indeed true. It¡¯s hard to refuse!
What¡¯s more, Cao Pi was facing internal and external troubles, so he needed to rely on the help of his clan members to counter the two major groups, the Xiao family and the gentry clan. Cao Xiong was the leader of the princes and kings and had strong strength, so he was naturally an important target to win over!
Considering the above two points, Cao Pi personally issued an imperial edict, allowing Cao Xiong to enter the court to serve his mother's illness, and he could stay in Luoyang City for a period of time!
"Haha, little brother, hurry up and get up. With you at my side, my mother's health has really improved. No wonder some people say that filial piety is the best medicine. It's true!"
"Although my brother has a little filial piety, it is not one ten thousandth as good as your Majesty. Your Majesty is the most filial son today, and all the subjects in the world must regard him as a role model!"
¡¡
Cao Pi helped his brother up with both hands, patted his shoulder to show affection, and praised him greatly, while turning a blind eye to his wife next to him!
It is said that since he ascended the throne, the relationship between the emperor and the empress was tense. Cao Pi never stayed overnight in Zhaoyang Palace. He occasionally went to take a look, but was urged by Empress Dowager Bian, so he was just pretending!
Cao Pi even wanted to depose the queen, but he never dared to issue an order. As a queen, Zhen Dao had no fault in her morality. Even if Cao Pi wanted to depose her, he couldn't find a suitable excuse!
Secondly, Zhen Dao¡¯s biological sister is Xiao Yi¡¯s third wife Zhen Mi. In order to maintain the relationship between Xiao and Cao, this queen cannot be easily abolished!
"Your Majesty looks haggard, you need to take more care of your dragon body¡ª¡ªahem!"
"Don't worry, mother, my son has been overworked recently. Let the imperial doctor prescribe some warming and tonic medicine, and he will be fine with a little conditioning!"
"It's best - ahem, logically speaking, the harem is not allowed to interfere with government affairs, but I would like to say something more today. Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than four years. Do you want to consider the country's foundation?"
"Well"
Next, Cao Pi sat next to the soft couch and chatted with his mother about some common things. In the end, within a few words, they talked about a major event - establishing a prince!
