Farmer of Shu Han

After Sima Zhi left, Cao Rui sat there and said to the air, "Liu Shizhong, what do you think?"

A person turned out from behind the screen, it was Liu Ye.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Sima Zihua's proposal is really for the imperial court."

After hearing this, Cao Rui nodded, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "It's just that the first emperor gave up the five baht money for a long time, if it suddenly recovers now, I'm afraid some people will not get used to it."

Cao Rui put it a little tactfully, in fact, this is not a matter of habit or not, but a matter of willingness or not.

Although Cao Rui has great ambitions, he is only a weaker champion, and he is no better than Cao Pi.

Cao Pi has been fighting with Cao Cao since he was ten years old. When he became the king of Wei, he had passed his thirties and had enough experience and experience.

As for Cao Rui, because Empress Zhen was bestowed to death by Cao Pi, she was implicated. First, she was abolished as Marquis of Pingyuan, and later she was restored to the title, and even promoted to King of Pingyuan.

But Cao Pi didn't establish Cao Rui as the prince until he was seriously ill. Before that, Cao Rui's life had been unsatisfactory, let alone received any royal education in handling government affairs.

Now that I encounter such things suddenly, I finally feel a little tricky.

Liu Ye smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, the late Emperor was afraid that His Majesty was still young and didn't know how to deal with such important court affairs, so he left His Majesty four assistant ministers."

Cao Rui asked hesitantly, "Liu Shizhong thinks they will agree to this?"

Liu Ye nodded, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, every family has stockpiled a lot of grain and silk cloth in the past few years. , it might not be convenient."

"The most important thing is that the Nine Rank Official Personnel Law has been practiced for many years, and the Great Wei has become the orthodox world. Both Sikong (Chen Qun) and Hushi General (Sima Yi) are people of great wisdom. Prevent?"

After Cao Rui heard this, he was a little bit understanding, but also a little bit confused.

At the beginning, the grain was expensive, so the grain was garrisoned, but now the grain is cheap, so do you want to garrison the money?

Just why would Sikong and General Hushi agree to reintroduce the five baht coin because the Nine Rank Official Personnel Law has been implemented for many years?

"Can the waiter explain this to me?"

Cao Rui asked modestly.

Liu Ye looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, when the Great Wei Dynasty first implemented the Ninth Rank Official Personnel Law, the Zhongzheng officials were all elected by the prefectures and counties, and then the talents of the prefectures and counties were judged. It’s all controlled by local fame.”

"That's enough, Your Majesty! As long as you repay five baht, you can have a better relationship with the wealthy family, the local reputation, the government and the opposition, so why don't Sikong and Hushi General agree?"

After Cao Rui heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: So, has the Cao family's country been closely connected with the aristocratic family to such an extent?

With the implementation of the Nine Rank Official Personnel Law, the aristocratic family has important officials in the court and Zhongzheng officials in the local area. They have been fully integrated with the court, so what is beneficial to the court is naturally also beneficial to the aristocratic family.

Especially in the aristocratic family with someone serving as an important minister in the imperial court, I am afraid that they are more happy to see this kind of thing happen.

Thinking of this, Cao Rui forced a smile, "I see."

Then he stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Ye, "Thank you Shizhong for explaining Rui's confusion, Rui finally knows the reason why the late emperor regarded Shizhong as his confidant."

Liu Ye hastily returned the salute, saying that he didn't even dare.

After Cao Rui asked some more questions, he asked someone to send Liu Ye back to the residence in person.

After the attendant left Liu's mansion, the servants came to report quietly, and the general Hussars was waiting in the mansion.

Liu Ye was taken aback and hurried to meet him.

"Why did the Hussar General condescend to come here?"

Sima Yi nodded and said with a smile, "It's because Yi was a bad guest and came here without paying his respects. How can he condescend? I just hope Ziyang won't be unhappy."

"No, the Hussar General is usually busy with government affairs, so he can't invite him even if he wants to."

Hearing this, Sima Yi smiled even wider, "In a few days, XX will go to Wancheng, and there will be many disturbances at that time, I'm afraid it will be too late to say goodbye, so I came here to say goodbye to Ziyang in advance."

"The general has a heart, and Ye is terrified."

"Zi Yang doesn't have to be like this. You and I are both old people who followed Emperor Wu the first time. We have different official positions in the court, but why should we be so different in private? Just call me Zhong Da."

Sima Yi's voice was a bit deep, gentle and magnetic. If it weren't for his sunken eye sockets and hooked nose that made him look a bit sinister, he would look like he came from a very gentle and polite family.

"Then Ye is being rude."

Liu Ye was not too polite, and immediately agreed, looking very straightforward.

Sima Yi nodded secretly. It seems that Liu Ziyang probably didn't say too much to His Majesty this time.

"In today's court, Henan Yin Simazhi is upright and can speak, but he is suspected of acting too hastily. After the court was dismissed, he was summoned by His Majesty. He presumably asked for unspoken intentions. This is an open-minded acceptance of advice. Mingjun picture."

Sima Yi made a start first.

Liu Ye understood, nodded and said, "Indeed."

"Today, Zi Yang was also announced by His Majesty. After talking for so long before leaving the palace, I think he must have understood His Majesty's demeanor. Zi Yang is good at knowing people. I wonder how he would evaluate His Majesty?"

Sima Yi asked.

Liu Ye pondered for a while, and then said, "I have the ambitions of Qin Shihuang and Han Xiaowu in my chest, but I am a little less intelligent."

Qin Shihuang and Han Xiaowu are both masters of great talent and strategy. One swept the six kingdoms and flattened the sea, and the other expelled the Xiongnu to expand countless territories. Liu Ye used Cao Rui as an analogy.

When Sima Yi heard this, he was silent for a while, and then he smiled, "In this way, I, Da Wei, are really lucky to know the Lord."

Then he thought for a while and asked again, "I'm going to Wancheng soon, I don't know what parting words Zi Yang has?"

When Liu Ye heard this, he was a little puzzled, but he still replied, "Meng Da, the prefect of Xincheng, has an opposite face. He is a villain who seeks profit. Zhongda has reached Wancheng, so we need to pay attention to this person."

Sima Yi's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "I remember, when Meng Da first came to surrender, the late emperor treated him very kindly, and even let him ride in the same car. Everyone said that he was talented as a general, or as a minister. .”

"Only Zi Yang once advised the late emperor that he should not be treated too kindly, let alone in the southwest. Now that he is mentioned again, is this person really untrustworthy?"

Liu Ye nodded, "You can't trust me, even a villain."

When Sima Yi saw Liu Ye's affirmation, his expression became serious.

When Emperor Wu was still alive, there was a man named Wei Tiao, who was quite resourceful, eloquent, and extremely good at demagoguery. He was famous for a while, and officials below the prime minister all sincerely made friends with him.

Only Liu Ye saw this person, and said that this person would definitely rebel.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu led Jingzhou soldiers and horses to attack Xiangfan.

Seeing the rare opportunity, Wei Xi colluded with outsiders and joined forces with internal thieves to attack Yecheng. If it wasn't for the fact that someone finally informed the late emperor, who was the son of the prince, the consequences would have been disastrous.

At that time, thousands of people died because of this incident, which shows Wei Tiao's ability to instigate and his tongue.

At the same time, it shows Liu Ye's ability to recognize people in advance.

Now that Sima Yi saw that Liu Ye not only mentioned Meng Da again, but also said it so affirmatively, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart. Could it be that Meng Da would really turn against him?

Thinking of this, Sima Yi couldn't help laughing, "That being said, I still have to be careful. If Zi Yang's words can save the new city, then Yi will come to thank him in the future."

Sima Yi was stationed in Wancheng and supervised the military forces in Jingzhou and Henan provinces. If there were any mistakes in Xincheng, he would also be responsible. Therefore, if he could discover Meng Da's rebellion early and keep Xincheng intact, then not only would he not be at fault, but he would be meritorious.

That's why he said that if Liu Ye really hit the mark, he would come to thank him.
