Chapter 105 The small group raised by the stepmother
At Cao Fu's house, Yu Zhi, Pan Tao and others arrived as promised.
Yu Zhi snorted it skillfully, feeling ecstatic.
Pan Tao waved his hand, indicating no.
There were several other young people, including Yu Liang and Xu Lang, who were eager to give it a try, but seeing Pan Tao making no move, they could only suppress their thoughts and glance at the beautiful waiters. concubine.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Cao waved his hand and the concubines left one after another.
"General Beizhong Lang, Pingchang Gongmo and General Ningshuo (fourth rank) have gone to Zhenye." In the winter, Uncle Cao still shook his fan and talked eloquently: "Wen Xianshou He was granted the title of Duke of Daling County, with a settlement of 1,800 households, and he is still the governor of Jizhou. "
Ma Mo of Pingchang Company is Sikong's younger brother. He was originally a Sanqi Changshi (third grade), and now he is the governor of Jizhou. When he became the governor, he guarded Yecheng and directly grabbed the biggest piece of fat.
To be honest, others should have some opinions.
Sima Teng doesn’t want to move? Bingzhou is not a good place.
Where is Sima Lue of Qingzhou? Don’t you covet Yecheng?
Not to mention, Sima Mo did nothing and received no credit at all. Just because he was Sima Yue's younger brother, he jumped from an idle clan to the lord of Jizhou.
I guess many people are waiting to see his joke.
The clan is idle and there is no mansion. How many confidants can you have on hand? Can you control Jizhou?
Wen Xian was originally the governor of Jizhou.
During the Northern Expedition, he fled back to Luoyang and then followed him on the expedition. After the failure, he fled back to his hometown and waited. He was actually restored to his original position, and he was awarded a knighthood for his "meritorious service as a driver".
When it comes to the titles of the Jin Dynasty, it is definitely one of the most confusing in history.
In the first year of Taishi, a "new fifth-class nobility" was established - if the king is included, it would be a sixth-class nobility.
Only the descendants of the Sima clan can be granted the title of prince, regardless of that for the moment - originally there were only princes, but later there were more county kings, and only a few people could be granted the title.
Five levels of titles include Duke (two types: County Duke and County Duke), Marquis (County Marquis, County Marquis), Bo, Zi, and Male. Foreign surnames can be granted, and descendants of the clan and queen can also be granted titles when their titles are reduced, such as Ma Teng from Dongying Company.
Most of the fifth-level titles granted by foreign surnames were granted by Sima Yan when he founded the country. Generally, the word "Kaiguo" was added, and they could be divided into "Guojun Gong", "Kaiguo County Duke", "Kaiguo County Duke", "Kaiguo County Marquis", "Kaiguo Marquis", "Kaiguo Bo", Founding son, founding man.
After the fifth rank, there are also Xianghou, Tinghou, Guanneihou, Guanwaihou, etc.
During the Taishi period (265-274), there was also a lot of confusion regarding Zhonghou and the like.
In the third year of Xianning (277), Xun Xu submitted a memorial, believing that "the fifth-class country has a long history and is not really a system." >
Xun Xu felt that there was no difference between the five ranks of nobility and the enfeoffment of princes in the Han Dynasty, so he asked for "discretion". The final result is that the princes and princes still follow the old system, and those below the princes and princes are basically not enfeoffed. Even if there is, it is obtained by the descendants of dukes when their titles are reduced, and there is no feudal state, and they only enjoy some economic benefits.
The princes have their own land. Even if the feudal state has less than 5,000 households, it can still have an army of 1,000 soldiers.
When Sima Lun acceded to the throne, he was granted a title indiscriminately. Even his servants were knighted. But other than that, there are very few titles below dukes, which can be regarded as a reconstruction of the previous complicated feudal system - in fact, if there are only dukes, it is clear, but it is too few.
Being ennobled together with Wen Xian were Yanling County Duke Gaoguang and others (1,800 households in the city).
Wen Xian was born in the Wen family of Taiyuan and was the grandson of Wen Hui. Gao Guang was the son of Cao Wei Taiwei Gao Rou. They were both from famous families.
They got the title without doing anything.
The soldiers who went out to fight and fought desperately did not win the title.
Reasonable, really reasonable.
"Dongying Gongteng entered General Anbei (third rank), and Bingzhou was troubled. I don't know if he can hold on to the situation." Cao Fu continued.
Sima Teng is the second younger brother of Sima Yue, the elder brother of Sima Mo, and the governor and governor of Bingzhou.
Last year, he led his army to defeat Ye General Wang Bin and contributed to Sima Ying's final downfall.
But there was nothing to reward him.
The General looks expensive, but it has no territory or soldiers, so it is not very affordable.
Shao Xun had previously preferred not to be promoted to general, but to continue to command the army. This was one of the reasons.
The titles below Duke and the various general titles are just icing on the cake and not worth pursuing with great efforts.
Among the second and fourth brothers, Sima Yue finally chose his fourth brother Sima Mo, who had no territory yet, to go to Yecheng. For some unknown reason.
In this way, from west to east, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou are all in the hands of Sima Yue's three younger brothers. If he himself takes Xuzhou again, his cousin Sima Fei is in Yuzhou, and his cousin Sima Shi is still in Wan. As the governor of the city, Sima Yi's fourth brother Sima Kui and his family became very powerful.
Sima Yue, as the "parent" of this faction, is the well-deserved leader, although this leader's military ability is a bit weak.
"Military Secretary, why are you talking about this?" Yu Zhi said with some resentment: "When will Sikong return to Luoyang? I heard that many scholars recently went to the East China Sea and defected to Sikong. Could it be that he opened a mansion in the East China Sea? , Don’t care about us?”
“Yes.” Yu Zhuo raised his head, and someone sighed, and then said: “If Xuzhou is captured, Sikong will definitely lead the governor and governor of Xuzhou. In order to suppress the ground, he will definitely fight back. If you want to stay there for a while, can you return to Luoyang this year? "
"Should King Dongping move? Leave early. Sikong can finish reorganizing Xuzhou and return to Luoyang early."
"I heard that Sikong promised Yanzhou to King Dongping, and King Dongping is still hesitating."
"Why are you hesitating! If you continue to hesitate, declare him a rebellious minister, and all the towns will fight against him, and Sima Mao will end up even worse. . ”
“Who says it’s not the case? I hope he can figure it out soon.”
Cao Fu shook his fan violently.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at him.
The huge Donghai King Group is now divided into two parts: east and west. The King of the East China Sea lived in the East China Sea. Wang Cheng, who had fled with him, became the prefect of the East China Sea. Liu Qia was in charge of recruiting troops and became the de facto lieutenant. Considering that many people have gone to Donghai recently to request admission, more and more scholars have gathered around the King of Donghai.
As a result, those who stayed in Luoyang were embarrassed.
Headed by Military Chief Cao Fu, there are more than ten staff and court officials. Their momentum is not as strong as that over there, but they have the military power and are still close to the emperor. Where to go, it is really time to think carefully about where to go.
Someone once planned to go east to Xuzhou to work with Sikong, but Cao Fu dissuaded him because Luoyang had insufficient talents.
But continuing like this is not an option.
The people left behind in Luoyang are almost becoming stepmothers. They watch the Donghai gang surrounding Sikong every day and they don’t even know what they are doing. Sikong doesn’t know what they are doing. As time goes by, the future is not good.
Actually, this is a factional problem, which is unavoidable for any group. Sima Yue's absence happened to amplify this problem.
Cao Fu knew very well what was going on. He knew what was going on. The only way was to increase the strength of their side, establish more meritorious deeds, and make Sikong take notice.
People, it is always easier to see the people in front of you, while people far away are easier to ignore. Then use an indelible weight to force Sikong to pay attention.
"What do you say to Mi Zihui?" Cao Fu turned to Pan Tao and asked.
"He will be able to serve as the prefect of Hongnong in February or March. It has been agreed that he is willing to compete for the position of coach of the Western Expedition." Pan Tao said.
"Then help him fight for it!" Cao Fu said without hesitation: "I have served Sikong for many years, and I still have some face."
"He Lun and Wang Bing want to Pan Tao continued: "Sikong also wants to appoint Chen Qi, Wang Hu, Jie Bao and others. They are all old generals of the Imperial Army. Many of the newly recruited soldiers have been defeated. They will lead more. It's more convenient."
"He Lun and Wang Bing are short-sighted." Cao Fu commented and asked: "Where is Shao Xun?"
"When I saw Shao Xun, he was there. Hunting in the Forbidden Garden and training sergeants." Pan Tao replied: "In recent days, we have occupied some land. I heard that we are going to hire dancers and female musicians, and we have also asked his nephew and third brother to enter the Imperial Academy..."
< br>"That's all?" Cao Fu asked.
"That's all." Pan Tao looked at Cao Fu calmly and replied.
"Young man, after suddenly ascending to a high position, he cannot withstand the temptation." Cao Fu sighed and said, "That's fine. He also knows how to train sergeants, that's enough. In the future, you can use beauty and money to make friends with him."< br>
Of course Cao Fu would not believe everything Pan Tao said.
But it seems reasonable.
How could an eighteen-year-old boy with so much vigor and vigor hold back his composure after gaining status and power?
The young man who I was once very optimistic about cannot sink like this.
"Wang Yifu, send someone to inform him." Cao Fu said again: "I don't want to argue with him. He is in charge of the selection of officials, and I will not stand in the way. What I want to do, he Don't interfere randomly. Yuan Gui, please go."
"Yes," Yu Liang said softly.
"Military Secretary..." Xu Lang suddenly spoke.
"What's the matter?"
"Pei Kuo and Pei Xia are back, and Sikong may want to appoint them." Xu Lang said.
Cao Fu thought silently.
Pei Kuo was originally a middle-level general (fourth grade), so it was only natural for him to join the Forbidden Army and command troops.
Pei Xia is Wang Yan's son-in-law and has not yet become an official. If Sikong wanted to use him, he would probably be recruited into the shogunate.
"Wang Yifu..." Cao Fu sighed softly.
How can this person be so able to exploit the enemy?
After Sikong’s Northern Expedition failed, he was silent for a while, probably watching the situation. Later, it was discovered that Mi Huang, Shao Xun and others knew the rules, so they came out again.
Wang Yan is the best at playing within the rules. What he fears most are those who don’t follow the rules.
He recently appointed Du Xi, the former Changsha Prince's literary scholar, as Shangshu Zuocheng (sixth rank), and his relationship with the Du family has become increasingly close.
Of course, big families are already married to each other, and the relationship is constantly getting messy and confusing.
It can’t be said that there is much harmony. After all, sometimes the relationship is very good, and sometimes it deteriorates due to conflicts of interests.
But Wang Yifu is really good at weaving a web of relationships, like a spider.
Compared with him, Wang Dun, Wang Dao, Wang Cheng and others would all have to throw away.
As the number of Wang Yan's party members and allies in the court increased day by day, Sikong actually acquiesced, which shows that there are also things that should be avoided.
The simplest thing is that Luoyang still needs supplies from other states.
Without the scholars Wang Yan recruited to serve as officials in the court, it would be difficult to say whether everyone would recognize the court or not, and how much food would be brought to Beijing from other states.
Sikong was helpless if he could not win the war cleanly and neatly, so he had to transfer power and win more allies.
That's all, just establish a good relationship with Wang Yifu, the paper framer, so that the two sides don't conflict with each other.
"Shao Xun, send someone to persuade him." At the end, Cao Fu couldn't help but said: "If it doesn't work, let him marry a wife to calm down. You can help me pay attention."
“No.” Everyone responded.
Shao Xun is now the most capable thug in the small group in Luoyang. He fights for land with others every day. He is so greedy for money that it is really ugly.
The eighteen-year-old general in the palace will naturally get on the right track after marrying his wife - well, passively get on the right track, because the real wife will beat the coquettish bitches to death, and the milk can only be returned to the family. She eats it, and what comes out of her mouth is the coquettish bitch's turn.
"Let's go." After saying the last thing, Uncle Cao was a little exhausted and waved.
