Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 811
Finally inherited the rights, but Cao Pi didn't seem to be happy.

Because Cao Cao really left him a mess. In politics, Cao Cao has been pursuing the policy of attacking the aristocratic families and using them in parallel. The relationship between the Cao family and the Central Plains gentry is actually not that close. Look at Wei Xie before, and Gibbon This is evident when Wei Huang and Geng Ji tried to rebel and greet Guan Yu.

Politically, Cao Pi is indeed trying his best to win over these high-ranking officials of the family, such as Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Mao Jie, Cui Tan, etc., all support him. Now that he ascends the throne, it only eases the tension between the Cao family and the family. The most unpredictable thing, God knows how many people in the territory are still plotting secretly, hiding their knives in their smiles, and conspiracy waiting for him.

Moreover, Cao Pi's shortcoming is military. In theory, he inherited Cao Cao's hegemony of more than 40 towns and a national army of as many as [-]. However, under Cao Cao's precautions, he took over very little military power in the Central Plains. Even in Yecheng, the army he can really mobilize is not many, less than tens of thousands.

So in the main hall, Cao Cao sat cross-legged in the seat that Cao Cao liked to sit most during his lifetime. With an ugly face, Cao Pi shook his head dignifiedly and kept refusing.

"Father Wang issued an order before his death, and the country has not yet been unified. Funerals are kept simple, and all towns wear mourning at home! Now that the situation is not stable, no funerals will be held for now!"

Cao Pi is still afraid after the first battle in Xudu, what kind of person is Guan Yu?There was Cao Ren before and Yu Jin later, more than 1 main forces of Cao Wei did not block Guan Yu, [-] people in Guanzhong, or Cao Zhang, the little white army, was defeated in one battle, and now the funeral, with the support of Wang Hou, Cao Zhang must have brought troops to Ye However, if he has plans for the throne, Cao Pi really can't show enough confidence to resist.

Therefore, if it can be delayed for a day, at least the situation must be delayed until he controls most of the troops, at least the more than [-] troops of the Bafu near Yecheng must be fully controlled by him.

But listening to his reasons, whether it was Sima Yi, Mao Jie, or Chen Qun, all the important officials who were trusted by the new king and recruited to the imperial court couldn't help shaking their heads.

"Your Highness, the great man is based on filial piety and honesty, and his father died without being buried. This is not filial piety. If the king insists on doing so, wouldn't it be a coincidence to give it to Pingxi Gong and Yong Gong?"

Holding his fists, Sima Yi directly persuaded Cao Pi in a high-spirited voice. Cao Pi was stunned when he heard this, but at this juncture, outside the court, a guard also hung a red flag behind his back, and suddenly appeared at the entrance of the lobby, 20 meters away from the officials. Mi Kaiwai, clasped his fists heavily and bowed down.

"Report~ Your Majesty, [-] elite soldiers from Kansai have already passed through Hedong, and they are coming straight to our city of Ye in accordance with the secret edict of the old King of Wei!"

"What? He's begging for the king's way!"

The veins on his forehead exploded, and he slapped the golden king's chair violently and stood up, Cao Pi roared even more furiously.

"The king's father's bones were not yet cold, but Ziwen Wang Tuqiu brazenly marched into the army, so that he was not a minister, and he was treasonous!"

But after shouting this sentence, Cao Pi turned his head to Sima Yi helplessly.

"Who can lead an army to stop it?"

"Your Majesty, this subject believes that there is no need to stop the army of the Lord of the West! What the Majesty needs to do now is still to bury the King of Wei quickly according to the old King Wei's will!"

"Yecheng has an army of 18, and all the ministers know that the previous king was passed on to you, Your Highness. Even if Duke Qin really led his troops to Yecheng, if he dared to rebel, the world would not agree. What the king needs to do is to quickly win people's hearts. , just don’t give Zhen Xigong an excuse!”

"Follow the last order to bury the old King Wei, and win the hearts of all the troops under the old King Wei. As for the words of the scholars in the world, Chen Shizhong first mentioned the plan. The veteran believes that it is time to implement it!"

"Chen Shizhong..."

The beeps that were pretended must be paid back!When Cao Cao was still alive, in order to gain the support of the aristocratic families, Cao Pi made countless political promises. Chen Qun's strategy is an extremely important part, that is, the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System!

The scholars in the world are divided into nine ranks from the upper rank to the lower rank. Zhongzheng is to set up Zhongzheng officials in various places, and the central government will set up Dazhongzheng. Virtue can be evaluated in three aspects, and then recommended to the Central Government.

The Zhongzheng government in the central government uses this list as a basis to select officials.

This system is actually an evolutionary supplement to the probation system that has been popular since Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty. The probation system is where the local chief executive at this time recommends talents to the central government according to the population in his county, and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system selects talents. The conditions have gone one step further.

But it seems to be more advanced and more institutionalized, but in fact it is the aristocratic family and the Cao family competing for the right to appoint and dismiss official positions!Because in Cao Cao's era, he was actually a nepotism. Only the clan relatives who followed him, the fellow villagers of Qiaojun, and the Yingchuan gentry who invested in him the first time could reach high positions, like Yang Xiu.

Moreover, under Cao Cao's command, many truly talented poor families also joined the court. Although it seemed that they were nepotism, Cao Cao actually broke the situation where the gentry monopolized official positions since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But waiting for Cao's gift of official positions will naturally dissatisfy the gentry who are used to rampant. The proposal of the Jiupin Zhongzheng System is equivalent to Cao Pi's own selection of officials before. Take your pick from this list!All of a sudden, more than half of the voting rights were obtained!

And it seems that Da Zhongzheng is evaluating talents. How is Da Zhongzheng selected? It is not someone from a wealthy family, and family background has become one of the important prerequisites for selecting officials. Hou, the traveler must have known very clearly that under the implementation of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it completely became a gentry politics, and it completely became the chrysanthemum face of the upper-rank poor family and the lower-rank no-gentlemen.

Even the demise of Cao Wei originated from this political system. In history, Sima Yi got up and built his Sima family into a super gentry step by step. Under the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, it became the banner of the gentry against the Cao clan.

After the Gaoping Mausoleum Incident, Sima Yi, who had the support of the gentry, easily gathered all the Cao Wei clan in Yecheng for surveillance, and then in the last struggle of the Cao family, Cao Mao's Ganlu coup, the gentry-born servants Wang Shen and Shang Shu Wang Jing and Sanqi's regular servant Wang Ye easily defected to the Sima family, and it became a heroic swan song for a generation of emperors to lead hundreds of eunuchs and attendants to crusade against the powerful minister Sima Zhao.

However, accepting the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System is indeed the best way to win over the world's gentry and fight against Wang Hou and Cao Zhang. In the eyes of several gentry ministers such as Chen Qun and Sima Yi, they gritted their teeth and thought about it for a long time. In 2 minutes, Cao Pi finally clenched his fist heavily.

"Okay, according to Mr. Sima's plan, tomorrow the three-day suspension will expire, and I will be buried alone in mourning, and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system will be promulgated to the world, and at the same time..."

After stuttering again, he said dully.

"Mr. Yong, Mr. Zhenxi is going to the funeral, so don't stop him from anywhere along the way!!!"
