Chapter 757: The Princely System (II)
Thank you CC for a monthly ticket voted by her father-in-law!
Cao Cao said: "In fact, the root cause of the princes' open and secret struggle for the throne is that everyone thinks that they have this qualification!" In that case, I will simply let them all have a chance to be righteous and bright! ”
Several people exchanged a look of surprise, but they already somewhat understood Cao Cao's plan.
Cao Cao continued: "When the princes reach adulthood, I will let them either serve as civil officials or serve in the army, and then evaluate their results once a year, and in order to reflect their results, their results will be expressed in numbers, until I am 100 years old, and the one with the highest score will inherit the throne!" ”
Cao Cao really wanted to establish a so-called democratic system, but it was impossible to establish a democratic system in this era, not to mention that Cao Cao still had some selfish intentions, so Cao Cao did not intend to implement a democratic system.
Again, Cao Cao originally wanted to learn from my Qing Emperor to implement the secret reserve system, but this is not realistic at all, the smooth implementation of that system is because my Qing Emperor regards all the subjects of the world as his own minions, and what qualifications does a slave have to discuss with the master, discuss who the next master is, just kneel to greet it, as for the rest, it is not the slave that should be concerned!
The dominance of the monarchy of my Qing Dynasty is because of the killing before entering the customs, the accumulation of foolish people and literary prisons after entering the customs, but Cao Cao obviously cannot refer to the practice of my Qing Dynasty, and at the same time, in comparison, it is easier for officials to confront the kings of their own clan than those of foreign clans, if Cao Cao really implements the secret reserve system, it will ensure that there will be a voice of criticism in the court!
Therefore, Cao Cao's best choice is a method that refers to the integration of some ideas from the Song Dynasty and later generations. This is not absolutely good, but at least. The kings chosen will not be like other dynasties. A few generations later, the king was completely long and deep in the palace, making jokes about why not eat minced meat.
Several people thought for a moment, and they all felt that Cao Cao's plan was very feasible.
"Your Majesty, but I don't know what standard to record the achievements of the princes?" Lu Su raised a very real question.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Just follow the military merit assessment standards we specified before!" Well, the highest level of merit is counted as 100 points, the next level is 95 points, and so on! ”
At this time, Cao Cao didn't know that it was because of his set of standards for establishing a reserve. The future Great Wei Empire showed an astonishing unprecedented aggressiveness that was not found in previous Han dynasties, and the root of all this is because although doing internal affairs can also get a score equivalent to military merit, but the acquisition of internal political merit is far slower than military merit, so almost all the princes who are interested in the throne have chosen the path of joining the army, and in order to obtain military merit, these princes always do everything possible to launch foreign expeditions.
When the prince and the merchants, who also wanted to expand and obtain cheaper labor, became more aggressive than ever!
Several people whispered for a moment, and Lu Su said: "Your Majesty, we think this method is feasible!" ”
Chen Gong continued: "But it is best to separate the military and political officials from the princes. Can't let them have too close a connection with each other! ”
Cao Cao understood what Chen Gong meant, nodded and said to a few people: "The specific implementation of the wrong thing is up to you to formulate!" There is no need to rush this matter, take your time, and do it well. Show it to me right away! ”
Several people agreed together.
"Your Majesty, many envoys have arrived in Chang'an, do you want to see them?" Lu Su asked.
The envoy in Lu Su's mouth was the envoy sent by the surrounding countries. It didn't take long for the traditional Spring Festival to arrive, and these envoys came to participate in the Spring Festival. The vast majority of these envoys were royal relatives and nobles of their own countries.
They brought with them extremely rich and precious gifts. This year's Spring Festival is different from the past, this is the first Spring Festival after the Great Wei unified the Central Plains. The strength exuded by the Great Wei Empire made even countries that did not have direct borders with the Great Wei forces feel terrified!
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "The envoys of the Western Regions can see it, and the rest will wait for the Spring Festival!" ”
"Weichen takes the order!"
Cao Cao suddenly remembered Kangju and asked, "Is there any news of Kangju?" ”
Jia Xu said: "Just this morning, a flying pigeon came from Kangju, and the situation in Kangju is quite stable, but in order to deal with the affairs of a few brothers, King Kangju is afraid that he will not be able to come in a short time!" ”
Cao Cao couldn't help frowning and asked, "Didn't King Kangju ask for our help?" ”
Jia Xu replied: "Our people have asked King Kangju, but King Kangju does not want us to meddle in their royal affairs!" Wechen thought that we should pay attention to this matter, but we should not intervene too early! ”
Cao Cao understood what Jia Xu meant, nodded, and said, "Tell Zhongda and Shoucheng to pay close attention to the situation in Kangju!" ”
Cao Cao frowned and said in a low voice, "I always have a bad premonition!" ”
"Your Majesty don't worry! The brothers of King Kangju are all incompetent, and Kangju's army is firmly in the hands of King Kangju, one of our elites is not far from Kangju, and there is also an elite of the royal forest handed over by His Majesty to King Kangju in the palace of Kangju! ”
Cao Cao nodded and smiled, "Maybe I'm too worried!" By the way, who is the messenger sent by Kangju? ”
Lu Su replied: "It's King Kangju's uncle, Kang Wenrui." ”
"It's him!"
Cao Cao paused and said, "Zijing, you go and make arrangements, I want to see him tomorrow!" ”
"Weichen takes the order!"
"Your Majesty! Wechen asks His Majesty to pay attention to a person! Jia Xu said very solemnly.
Cao Cao smiled: "Why is Wen He so solemn? Who is this man? ”
Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten to capture the general? ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned, silent for a long time, sighed, and said with emotion: "How could I forget? Zhu Rong, is there a message from her? ”
Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, the general of the conquest is guarding Jiaozhou, and the Quartet is stable!" However, Weichen thought that His Majesty should not live up to the affection of the captured general, and should appease the people of the southern barbarians! ”
Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Wen He wants Zhu Rong to be a concubine, right?" ”
"Exactly!"
Cao Cao hesitated: "Although I also have this idea, but ・・・・・・"
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the relationship between Meng Huo and the general of the conquest, the meeting between the general and Meng Huo in the middle of the river on that day has already signaled the end of the relationship between the two! If Your Majesty doesn't give the captured general a title, I'm afraid that the captured general will be heartbroken! Jia Xu persuaded, and several others also agreed.
Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, he seemed to see Zhu Rong's lonely figure and resentful eyes: "Then after I tell the queen about this, let's make a decision!" ”
Several people smiled slightly, and said together: "Your Majesty is wise!" (To be continued.) )
