Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 660 Restoration
The first month, Luoyang.

As the time for the court came, all the ministers of Cao and Wei filed into the hall, holding wat boards and braving the cold wind.

Cao Shuang has a big belly and wears a long sword on his waist. Sima Yi and the others need to take off their swords outside the hall and take off their shoes, but Cao Shuang is able to walk into the hall with his shoes, which is quite majestic.This treatment is the sword on the temple.

As for the failure to enter the court, all the ministers saw that His Majesty had to jog with small steps. If the steps were too large or too slow, they would be considered disrespectful and would be impeached by the officials.Those who enter the court and do not tend, should be able to walk slowly instead of jogging with small steps.

The ceremony of praising the unknown is when the government was discussing government affairs. Due to the large number of officials, it was impossible for the emperor to remember everyone clearly.However, if there are people who do not have a name in praise, the praise officer cannot call him by his name directly, but can only respect his official position.

The last powerful minister who received such treatment was Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was Dong Zhuo.As for Zhuge Liang, he didn't have these rights, and even the four tins out of the nine tins bestowed by Liu Chan had been hidden away, except when he went out to fight and set up an army.

As for why Cao Shuang was given such a high favor, it was to improve Cao Shuang's prestige.Compared with Sima Yi, Cao Shuang's prestige in Cao Wei is really not high. It really depends on Sun Zi and Liu Fang to become the chief assistant of Tuogu Minister.

Of course, Cao Shuang is quite aware of these things, and in the face of the difficult situation of the old master's first funeral, the young master's enthronement, and the capital's northward relocation, Cao Shuang really felt the pressure.Therefore, he treats people and directors with respect and humility, and he only makes decisions after asking Sima Yi for his opinions on government affairs and military issues.

After all the ministers saluted, the Empress Dowager Guo came to the court to listen to the government. The young master Cao Fang looked at the ministers curiously with an immature face.

"Quiet!" The graceful and luxurious Queen Mother Guo, wearing a hemp scarf, scolded in a low voice.

Cao Shuang expressed gratitude, and said, "It's been hard work for Troubling the Taiwei in March, but after today's retreat, I don't know who can stick to Luoyang, so as to ensure the consolidation of Luoyi and the peace of the Central Plains."

Cao Shuang bit the bullet and said, "The late emperor once built Gaoping Mausoleum in Luoyang, thinking that the mausoleum should be buried here according to the etiquette system. As for the temple name and posthumous title, we are still discussing."

Cao Shuang watched Sima Yi's car drive away, and then got on his own car.

After finishing his cup of tea, Cao Shuang got up seriously, with one leg crossed and his legs slightly bowed, and said seriously: "At the beginning of Taichu, I, Cao Shuang, are not capable enough, but you are knowledgeable and talented. You should be a great talent. When you move the capital to Ye City, I should recommend you as the Central Guard Army, promote talents, help me rectify military affairs, and restore my old territory of the Great Wei."

Those with temple names are nothing more than ancestors. The ancestors have merit and the ancestors have virtue.Based on Cao Rui's political achievements since he ascended the throne, although Xianbei and Liaodong were established in the north, and Sun Quan was settled in the south, there was a Ji Han in the west.Moreover, he led the troops out and died on the front line, so no matter what he said, he couldn't reach Zong.Although he created himself a strong, but he is still Zongye.

It can be said that officials at all levels have awards, but interestingly, even Sima Yi's eight-year-old son, Sima Jun, was awarded the title of regular servant of Sanqi.

After a while, Xia Houxuan sighed and said, "Uncle Zhao, do you know how difficult it is to restore the soil?"

Xia Houxuan glared at Cao Shuang and stopped talking.The fact that his younger sister was taken away by Shu thieves was an eternal pain in his heart.

"Stop~" Cao Shuang waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about Taichu. If my surname is not Cao, I really don't want to take over this mess, and I don't want to take on the big responsibility."

For Cao Rui's shameless approach, Cao Shuang, Sima Yi, Jiang Ji and others were very upset.But in the face of the last emperor's edict, what should we do if we don't obey it.

Relocating the capital is not an easy matter. It is not just a simple change of place to work, but it will involve a large number of population migration.When the big Han soldiers arrive, it will be a disaster.

As for Sun Zi and Liu Fang, who contributed a lot, they added three hundred food towns, with a total of one thousand households.The two and one son were named Tinghou, the second son was a captain, and the remaining sons were all doctors.

Cao Fang, who is restless by nature, sat obediently on the couch, not daring to move, watching the pregnant Cao Shuang talking in the hall.

Cao Shuang held the wat board in his hand and said in a deep voice: "I would like to report to the Empress Dowager, the people of the Wei Dynasty are constantly mobilizing troops, the people are suffering, and the soldiers are full of complaints. After the death of the first emperor, people's hearts are not stable. Now the large-scale construction in Yecheng may make the world boil. The common people have accumulated grievances. The Shu people are peeping in the west, so they should not lightly damage the national power."

After a pause, Cao Shuang joked, "When the time comes, scare Liu Chan and ask him to send Miss Jun back."

Empress Dowager Guo expressed her sorrow, and said: "If the late emperor is buried in Luoyang, if there is a war in the future, the peace of His Majesty may be disturbed. Can he be buried in the vicinity of Yecheng?"

In order to appease Tian Yu, the governor of Yuzhou, and let him defend against the enemy at the front line, he was also given [-] additional households for a total of [-] households.

Xia Houxuan played with the teacup, analyzed and said: "Shu people are elite soldiers, generals are brave, and generals Wang Ping, Wei Yan, Deng Ai, and Huang Quan are all outstanding talents in the world. Zhuge Liang is even a different person in his life. Sima Yi is comparable to Zhuge Liang It's not as far away as it is!"

Xia Houxuan poured a cup of tea for Cao Shuang, and said with a smile, "If you are entrusted with a great job, you must first work hard on your heart and mind..."

Sima Yi pondered for a while, and said, "Yi thought that Guo Huai, the prefect of Hedong, could take up this position, so he could keep Luoyang safe."

It can be seen that Cao Wei spent his thoughts on rewarding the ministers, appeasing their hearts, and using benefits to lure them not to betray Wei.Because only Cao Wei can give them these things, Shu Han can't give them at all.

"Thank you~"

Once inside, Cao Shuang didn't care about the other person in the car, so he tore off his crown and hat, took off his sword, spread his feet, exhaled, looked at the roof of the car, and complained: "The position of Minister Tuo Gu, Shuang is really hard to be. If there is a chance, Shuang really wants to be a son of a rich family and spend the rest of his life with his beautiful wife and concubine in his arms."

Sima Yi stroked his beard, and said: "If the general believes in Yi, Yi should take command and go south to retreat the Shu army, so as to keep Luoyang stable and move the capital without hindrance."

Empress Dowager Guo bowed her head silently, and said: "Since this is the case, according to Qing and others. It is difficult to move the mausoleum, and the temple name and posthumous title still need to be thought about. It is what the first emperor asked for."

Cao Rui was restless before his death. He expressed the hope that he could have the temple name of "Liezong" and give himself a good posthumous title.

After everyone retreated from the court, Cao Shuang approached his boss Ma Yi to talk about state affairs.

"Then in the Battle of Guanzhong and the Battle of Hedong, Guo Huai predicted the enemy accurately, making it difficult for the people of Shu to take advantage of him. In addition, Guo Huai defeated Jiang Wei in this battle, making him flee in fear and attacking Guanzhong. His achievements were not small. Therefore, Yi pledged himself , the general appointed Guo Huai to save Luoyang!"

Cao Shuang put on a big cloak and said: "When the capital is moved in March, the people of Shu may go north to harass Luoyang. Then the center will be in chaos. What should we do?"

The regular servants of Sanqi, and the servants of the Communist Party of China Pingshangshu, although they are idle jobs, they are the emperor's servants, and most of them are high-caliber scholars.

After all, if it was placed on the Shuhan, no matter how talented an eight-year-old child is, Liu Chan would not be so stupid as to make him a regular servant of Sanqi.If someone proposed to give Zhuge Liang's 12-year-old youngest son Zhuge Zhan the title of Sanqi Changshi or Shilang without Liu Chan speaking, Zhuge Liang would stand up and veto it.

"Be careful, Taiwei, and send some venison to Taiwei later."

"Furthermore, the hearts of our great Wei are now scattered, redundant officials are serious, and the treasury is not rich. Those who have a rich treasury should be able to refine their soldiers. If these five points of maladministration can be eradicated, our army may not be able to fight against Shu, restore the old land, and calm the world."

"It's a pity..." While speaking, Xia Houxuan smiled helplessly.

"No!" Cao Shuang replied.

……

Cao Wei's excuse for moving the capital to the outside world was to temporarily manage the government in Yecheng, the northern capital, and our capital Luoyang remained unchanged.

Empress Dowager Guo nodded, and said: "The Ai family is just a woman, and military and state affairs are mostly handled by the general and the Taiwei."

Cao Shuang supported his belt, and responded boldly: "Since the Taiwei recommended it, I appointed Guo Huai to stay behind in Luoyang. He will supervise the military affairs of the Sili during the festival."

Sima Yi explained with a smile: "The general didn't know something. Zhuge Liang was the one who surprised Guo Huai when he first defeated Longyou. Longyou was unprepared and was taken by Zhuge Liang. When armies meet, victory or defeat is possible.”

After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Guo pinched the scarf in her hand, thought for a long time, and asked, "It's just that we are facing Yecheng in the north, where should the late emperor be buried? Besides, the posthumous title and temple name of the late emperor have not yet been determined, and I don't know the general and the emperor. How did Wei negotiate, is there any conclusion?"

"They all serve the country!"

For example, Cao Shuang has a strong style of loyalty. If a friend makes a mistake, Cao Shuang will most likely not punish you. Usually, others will admire you, but it is fatal in the officialdom. The reward and punishment are unfair. How can you be convinced.

"Haha~"

Cao Shuang got up, stepped out of his seat slowly, and cupped his hands and said, "I would like to report to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager. After discussing with the ministers for a long time, I ordered those who are good at the calendar to choose a date. It will be on March [-]th. I will temporarily manage politics in Yecheng, the northern capital. After Luoyang is peaceful and there are no foreign troubles, I will return to Luoyang, the central capital, to manage politics."

After Cao Shuang became a minister of Tuogu, he was named a general, with a fake festival battleaxe, and supervised all military forces at home and abroad.He and Sima Yi each commanded 3000 elite soldiers and were in charge of the government together.

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Shuang showed embarrassment, then looked at Sima Yi, and smiled wryly.And Sima Yi also shook his head with a wry smile, expressing that this matter is difficult.

Cao Shuang frowned slightly when he heard this, and said: "Guo Huaichu was the governor of Yongzhou, and he was defeated by the Shu people in a row. He lost his teachers and lost his land. An Neng stayed behind in Luoyang to defeat the Shu people."

Sima Yi was changed from a general to a Taiwei, Chijie, the governor of Chinese and foreign armies, and recorded the affairs of the minister.

"And Luoyang is difficult and dangerous, with mountains and rivers solid. In the east, Yu and Yan are the queen, and in the north there are Hebei and Hebei. The general guards Luoyang. Can the people of Shu be able to overcome it? I hope the Queen Mother will carefully observe and think deeply, and plan for the national policy."

As he spoke, Sima Yi cupped his hands towards Cao Shuang and said, "General, go slowly, and Yi is getting into the car."

Seeing this, Xia Houxuan also smiled wryly.He knew everything about himself when he was young, he was just an ordinary son of a rich family, and now making him the minister of Tuogu was just trying to catch the ducks on the shelves.His ability and virtue are not enough to compare with today's court ministers.

Cao Shuang was quite anxious and asked, "What is Taichu's pity?"

"Nothing~" Xia Houxuan said, sipping his tea.

Cao Shuang was also sober, and said with a smile: "Taichu Wuyou, I am in power, and you have great talents. I will cut off these five bad policies one by one. From now on, Qing will be the Central Guard, and I will first strengthen my Wei roots. The rest Shuang recommends that you have met Sima Gong, and instead of discussing current affairs, I will wait for a few people to eliminate the bad government of Great Wei and revive our Great Wei."

"I hope it is as you say~"

(Cao Shuang had an extremely harmonious relationship with Sima Yi in the early days)
