Chapter 209: Obey or refuse?
Wang Xiang struggled for a few moments in his eyes, and asked tentatively, "What does the king think is enough?"
"How do you think it will satisfy the orphan?"
If I knew, I would still use it to ask you. Kuangsha Literature Network
Wang Xiang complained in his heart, of course, he definitely didn't dare to say this sentence.
Now he can only obtain the understanding of the King of Wei with the most humble attitude, even if the price needs to be paid.
Since it was not enough to send a son to the emperor and to resign from his official position, there was only one left.
Wang Xiang's eyes flashed, he looked at Cao Cao, and after hesitating for a long time, he said, "If the king agrees, after this, the Wang family of Langya will ignore political affairs and the scholars of the family will never take office. What do the king think?"
Are you just worried that my aristocratic family has too much power?
Now I will give up all the power to you, is that OK?
The family's children will never enter the officialdom. This sentence is naturally simple and just simple. Whether it can be done is another matter. Now the handle of the aristocratic family is in their hands, and their personal life and family life are almost out of control. This is why they are humble.
But after going through this dilemma, it is not something that Cao Cao can guarantee whether they will abide by.
It is not difficult to find a reason to become an official with the shamelessness of a family.
So Cao cao) after Wang Xiang said this, he still shook his head.
"Wang Xiang, I ask you, what sin did you commit?"
What sin?
Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, we are blinded by Wang Lang and have done this rebellious act."
"In other words, this is a matter of rebellion?" Cao Chong made a decision on this matter at a critical moment.
"How is this a treason? Being stubborn but going with the flow, how can it be said that it is a treason?"
"Even if you are coerced, you are still in a mess with Wang Lang and become the leader of the alliance. What is that if you say you are not doing a rebellious act?"
People who are quarreling are not suitable for quarrels, but for those who are like Cao Cao) to be in a high position.
Cao Chong's mouth below had long been itchy. Now, whenever he had the chance, he would of course spray these people with human faces and beasts.
Cao Chong is becoming more and more deeply aware of the aristocratic family.
They may have many righteous gentlemen, but they are all their own righteous gentlemen, not others' righteous gentlemen.
In other words, they live for themselves and for their own interests.
"The Luoyang Hou is very eloquent, so we can't tell you."
Cao cao) could survive even if he died. Although Wang Xiang looked surprised when he saw Cao Chong, he was not surprised to the point of being very intense.
"This is just a fact."
"The Marquis of Luoyang thought that we would treat more than 50 families including us as the King of Donghai?"
Hearing Wang Xiang's words, Cao Chong shook his head and said, "Of course not. The Wang family in Donghai is a thief. Although you have a rebellious trait, you are "coerced" after all, so of course you cannot treat the same thing."
"What will Luoyang Marquis deal with us?"
At this time, Cao Cao closed his eyes and agreed to let Cao Chong negotiate with the aristocratic family.
This is Cao Cao's belief in Cao Chong's performance and a temporary test for Cao Chong.
Responsiveness is the most important ability to become a king. If you cannot adapt to the situation, you will not only be unable to handle state affairs, but also be unable to rule the ministers under your rule.
Even if your IQ does not need to be higher than your minister, you must know that what he says is right and what is wrong, which is very important!
"If you have any mistakes, you will be punished. The prefect thinks this sentence is right or wrong?"
Of course this sentence is correct.
Wang Xiang nodded and said, "This is of course correct, but I don't know if there is any mistake, I will punish you. What is the connection with what we are waiting for?"
"Of course there is a connection. Although you are carried by Wang Lang, you have done a rebellious act after all. Even if your father believes you, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will not believe you. Are you right?"
right?
Right?
Most of the ministers in the court were from aristocratic families. Do you think those ministers would believe in themselves?
Of course, Wang Xiang could only expose the complaints in his heart, and he didn't dare to say them out.
"What the Marquis of Luoyang said is reasonable."
Cao Chong nodded and said, "Since there is a mistake, I need to punish you, and the court officials are satisfied, there is only one way."
"I dare to ask you what method is this?"
Cao Chong smiled and said, "It's very simple, it's a way to offset the merits and demerits."
Compensation between merits and demerits?
Not only was there a look of doubt in Wang Xiang's eyes, but even Cao Cao's brows also frowned.
Originally, he wanted to destroy all the aristocratic families, so the so-called "coercion" naturally had no way to talk about it.
For the crime of rebellion, Cao Cao) can of course attack these aristocratic families.
However, the process will be difficult.
After all, aristocratic families are not soft persimmons that you can knead. If aristocratic families are really soft persimmons, Cao Cao would not go through a lot of trouble to target aristocratic families.
However, although Cao Cao frowned, he still did not interrupt Cao Chong's words.
He was also very interested in Cao Chong's so-called reconciliation of merits and demerits.
"How do you compare merits and demerits?"
Although I don’t know what medicine Cao Chong sold in his stomach, I might as well know it myself.
"The prefect thinks there is still something in the world that can make contributions?"
this...
Wang Xiang fell into thinking.
Of course, there are places where the world is pacified and meritorious service is made, but if we want to offset the rebellious sins, there is probably no such thing.
War is the best opportunity to improve your meritorious title, but now is a peaceful era!
"Please give me a reminder."
"How about the Western Regions?"
Western Regions?
"But the Western Regions have long been no longer owned by the Han Dynasty."
During the chaos in the Eastern Han Dynasty, coupled with the rise of the Kushan Empire, most of the Western Regions depended on the Kushan Empire, and there were not many empires connected with the Han Dynasty.
"This is the opportunity for you to make contributions. If you can make the Western Regions return to the Han people like a class, wouldn't it be a huge contribution? This will inevitably be famous in history."
However, Wang Xiang, Zhuge Dan and others had little light in their eyes.
It sounds simple to make the Western Regions return to the Han people's leadership, but everyone present understands the situation in the Western Regions, and how can it be solved so simply?
If it were so simple, would Luoyang Hou still ask himself to go?
On the other side, Cao cao nodded when he heard Cao Chong's words.
The Western Regions originally belonged to the Han people, but now they naturally belong to the Wei Kingdom.
It is naturally difficult to get the Western Regions to the State of Wei. If the court does it, it will inevitably cause a big blow, which is not suitable for the Wei State, which is now in ruins.
And these aristocratic families can obviously do it.
On the one hand, the implementation of the imperial examination system must be to bypass these aristocratic families. If these aristocratic families are not removed, they will weaken them.
If aristocratic families focus on the Western Regions, there will inevitably be no obstacles to the implementation of the imperial examination system.
On the other hand, it can also solve the problems of the Western Regions and consume the power of aristocratic families.
This is a killing two birds with one stone.
How can the aristocratic family not see the fact that Cao cao can kill two birds with one stone?
This is also the reason why Wang Xiang, Zhuge Dan, Yang Biao and others fell into silence.
They knew Cao Cao wanted to get rid of them, but it was very difficult and dangerous to get rid of them.
So I changed my way to weaken the aristocratic family.
This is a conspiracy.
Should the aristocratic family comply or refuse to this open conspiracy?
Cao Chong's eyes flashed and he stared at Wang Xiang motionlessly.
