Chapter 924: Xuchang's court


The court meeting has not been held for a long time, and those pampered old royal officials are more accustomed to the lifestyle of staying at home, burning the charcoal stove and waiting for the arrival of winter.

Therefore, when they heard that the court meeting was going to be held today, they were full of complaints.

In particular, the emperor still did not attend today's court meeting.

This makes them even more dissatisfied.

However, after learning that Shangshu ordered Xun Yu to preside over it on his behalf.

They all tightened their official uniforms and lowered their eyebrows.

Xun Yu was no longer surprised by the virtues of these corpse-eating guys.

For the sake of the Cao family's foundation, it was necessary to raise some rice bugs for decoration.

Today, he announced a decision that had already been decided, which would be reviewed by Taichang Yang Biao, Yushi Zhongcheng Dong Fen, and Guang Luxun Hengfan to rectify the imperial guards.

Everyone can see that this must be the result of the promotion of the elders of the royal family.

However, the decision of the three ministers was far beyond everyone's expectations: In order to protect His Majesty's health and safety, some Xudu guards were transferred to the dormitory guard to strengthen the patrol and vigilance of the Sansouci Palace.

He promoted Cao Tai to Zhaoyi's school captain and strictly ordered Xu Duwei.

In addition, Niu Jin, a general of Cao Ren's ministry, was promoted to the rank of captain of Jingnei.

He was assigned to the Suwei and shared the command of the Suwei with the captain of Changshui.

As soon as the decision came out, the entire court was in an uproar.

On the surface, Xu Duwei's infiltration into the Emperor's Suwei obviously means that the Cao family has strengthened its control over Liu Xie; and letting Niu Jin compete with the Emperor's Suwei Changzhongji doesn't mean that the Emperor's side is open, and Cao The clan may lead troops to force the Holy Emperor at any time.

What's even weirder is that in the face of this blow that was like cutting flesh and bones, Dong Cheng, the mainstay of the royal family and the cavalry general, said nothing; while several ministers under Cao Sikong who had official positions, starting with Xun Yu, all looked at each other.

She was as heavy as water, with no expression of relief at all.

The two sides, who were usually at odds with each other, were rarely silent at this time.

If something goes wrong, it must be a monster, but where is the monster, how should we react, and what will be the consequences?

This makes the ministers puzzled.

In the Xudu Dynasty, there were not only the imperial power faction and the Cao faction with clear distinctions, but also many officials in between.

Some of them were loyal ministers to the Han Dynasty; some hoped to gain Cao Sikong's favor; and some were wavering between the two factions, with ambiguous attitudes.

They are not in a position of power, but they are here for every opportunity, hoping to gain promotion in the struggle.

At this time, the two major factions were silent at the same time, which made the ministers quite at a loss.

They could only whisper and try to understand the thoughts of the big shots.

Many people thought that the emperor summoned Dong Cheng and Xun Yu not long ago, and they couldn't help but secretly guess whether the two giants had reached some tacit understanding.

In fact, as far as the DPRK and China are concerned, Cao Cao's power does not have any advantage.

His main team members were basically concentrated in the Sikong Shogunate.

They either went on expeditions with the army or pacified various places.

They were busy with various general affairs.

Even those who held court positions rarely had time to participate.

But what’s interesting is that Cao Cao never seemed to interfere in government affairs, but the imperial court is now nothing at all.

I have to say that this is the result of the painstaking achievements of the wise emperors before the Han Dynasty: a lot of young emperors, Several foreign relatives, coupled with an endless stream of eunuchs and clan factions, made the entire Han Dynasty angry and resentful.

It was as if he had to see how many rounds of twists and turns the sturdy house of the Han Dynasty could endure.

Finally, it was in the hands of Liu Xie.

As Dong Zhuo entered the capital, Li Jue and Guo Si caused chaos in Chang'an, and then the Huns' cavalry trampled it.

Finally, after Emperor Xian escaped from Chang'an and moved to Xuchang in embarrassment, the house of the Han Dynasty collapsed.

It is extremely appropriate to apply it to the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, the emperor of the Han Dynasty seemed to have no interest in government affairs, so the majesty of the Han Dynasty was almost out of the question.

As a result, all the affairs of Xu Du were automatically transferred to Cao Cao.

On the contrary, trivial matters that were innocuous made the court very noisy: for example, a while ago, Kong Rong proposed that the tribute wine sent to Xuchang was impure and not as good as Majia's fine wine, so they were quarreling for more than half a month. , until Liu Xie later agreed to buy it from another shop at a high price, then he gave up in frustration.

However, today the court suddenly threw out such a decision to cut off one's arm, but it still made these courtiers a little shocked.

For a moment, the main hall was quiet, everyone had their own thoughts.

Fortunately, they all know the bottom line that everything in the court is just a formality for the world to see.

If he wanted to get rid of the emperor's guards, the Cao family had ten thousand ways.

There was no need to conduct a formal interrogation of the three ministers in a court meeting that was more formal than substantive.

What's more, now that Cao Cao has completely defeated Lu Bu, the territory of Yanzhou is still his.

However, His Majesty's wise and powerful performance a while ago has conquered the hearts of many neutrals.

But when Cao Cao was about to fully regain Yanzhou, he suddenly fell ill.

In any case, those ministers finally chose to accept the orders honestly and shouted to obey the holy orders.

They knew that this might be a big conspiracy, it might be a desperate counterattack by the imperial faction, or it might be a pretentious gesture by the Cao faction.

There is another plan.

But no matter what, when you are a fish in a pond and cannot see the rapids in the storm whirlpool, it is better to choose to be wise and protect yourself.

After all, these things seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Subsequently, after Xun Yu announced this resolution, the three ministers soon issued another resolution: In order to complete the policy, rectification matters will begin at this time.

The responsibility of rectifying the Suwei was handed over to Dong Cheng, the general of chariots and cavalry, to personally supervise the reform; and the envoy to rectify the Xuduwei was appointed by Yilang Wu Shuo.

The ministers made another noise, but this time it was much quieter.

After most of them chose to wait and see what happens, they no longer paid much attention to this matter.

In fact, I really hope to return to my usual routine of yelling about trivial matters, and then return home early to sort out my thoughts.

After Yilang Wu Shuo took the edict from Xun Yu, he immediately turned around and left the main hall.

Following him were twenty Jinyue guards, whose identities indicated that this was an order executed in the name of the emperor.

Kong Rong had noticed that the atmosphere in the court today was too strange.

Therefore, after the three ministers, he immediately took out a roll of memorials from his sleeve and said loudly to Xun Yu and the empty dragon chair: "Xun Lingjun, I still have something to do here."

There is a memorial."

Xun Yu smiled at him and nodded, signaling for Xiao Huangmen to come forward.

For each court meeting, Kong Rong would always prepare one or two memorials, with contents ranging from Confucian classics to farming and mulberry cultivation, and even laws on drinking.

These memorials have little chance of being implemented, but they can make the entire meeting seem less hollow.

Kong Rong's articles were very well written.

From a personal point of view, Xun Yu admired this person very much.

Sometimes he would copy some of the highlights and send them to Cao Sikong.

After that, Xiaohuangmen took the memorial and read it out in public.

The ministers listened and found that the memorial was full of gorgeous rhetoric, but not a word related to political affairs.

Until this time, the topic in the court finally gradually turned to something neither salty nor light, and the ministers finally began to show their opinions and eloquence.

Is this kind of court normal?

Dong Cheng and Xun Yu just smiled and looked at the ministers behind them talking freely, and seemed very satisfied to see the Han Dynasty ministers gathering together to consult on state affairs.

But when neither of them were paying attention, they found that each other had their hands behind their backs and looked straight ahead.

But his eyes glanced outside the palace from time to time: the only one who left just now was Yilang Wu Shuo.

The mission he takes on is quite extraordinary.

The formality on the surface has been completed.

Next, the secret confrontation between the imperial power faction and the Cao faction is just the beginning.

The subsequent development will make these eloquent ministers stunned. s: Finally, thanks to Han Gugu, 38808, Mingyue Xin, and Huo Yi for their rewards.

Where is Chapter 30?

It’s clearly Chapter 46.

I won’t go into details.

Let’s stop here today and we will continue tomorrow
