After arranging the emperor's affairs, Zhong Hui was ready to leave.
After taking a few steps, Zhong Hui suddenly stopped and looked at the servants.
Immediately, he waved his hand, and a soldier came to his side.
"After all, Mr. Jia is a man of a distinguished family. It is not appropriate to go on the road alone like this. Let the four geldings who serve the emperor go with Mr. Jia on the road, so that he can be cared for along the way."
The soldier nodded.
"Then Huangmen Guan and the guards are..."
Zhong Hui frowned and stared at the soldier angrily, not hiding the killing intent in his eyes, "Do you think the wise men in the world are the same as these geldings?"
The soldier was startled and quickly apologized.
Zhong Hui's eyes were full of disdain, he glanced at him, turned around and left.
Only a group of soldiers were left and began to clean up the Tai Chi Hall, which was contaminated by blood.
Zhong Hui is different from Jia Chong. He still has the temperament of a big Han scholar-bureaucrat, although not much.
Unless he is really offended, he is quite friendly to the scholars.
The soldier, the new head of the bodyguard who was now responsible for protecting Cao Mao, looked at Zhong Hui's arrogant look with some displeasure in his eyes.
If Cao Mao were here, he would recognize him.
This person is none other than Cheng Ji from Sima Zhao's mansion.
Cao Mao was brought back to the west hall by everyone and settled down.
When Cao Mao slowly opened his eyes, someone immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Don't be afraid!"
At this moment, standing in front of Cao Mao was a chamberlain whom Cao Mao didn't recognize at all.
Cao Mao frowned, "Who are you?"
"Your Majesty, my maid's surname is Xu. I would be afraid of insulting Your Majesty by a nickname... I am here to serve Your Majesty."
"It turns out to be Xu Sheng, where are Li Sheng and the others? Where are they?"
"They...were transferred elsewhere."
Most of the eunuchs in the palace were not worthy of having names, unless they could achieve very high official positions. Of course, under the system of the Wei Dynasty, it was basically impossible for eunuchs to get ahead. The scholars had deep conflicts with the eunuchs, and this continued. Over the years, the two party imprisonments are still unforgettable to the scholars.
Sheng refers to young people. For example, Li Sheng is a young man named Li, and Xu Sheng is a young man named Xu. If he is older, a eunuch with some power like the Queen Mother, he is generally called husband.
After hearing the other party's answer, Cao Mao was silent for a moment.
Li Zhao and others may still be alive, but the four chamberlains may be gone.
In the eyes of these wealthy people, the lives of the people at the bottom seem to be so worthless that they can be strangled to death without any care at all.
Although the four of them were ordered by Jia Chong to supervise themselves, they had been living together all these days, and when they were suddenly executed, Cao Mao also had an unspeakable emotion in his heart.
The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad? Maybe it's not appropriate, but it's a bit inexplicably melancholy anyway.
Zhong Hui replaced everyone around him.
Once again, I became a loner.
These people all looked a little scared. They must have understood that serving the emperor was a high-risk profession nowadays.
Cao Mao had never seen them in the palace. It seemed that Sima Shi had been completely replaced.
I don’t know where he found so many people. They couldn’t be castrates, right?
Cao Mao wrote down their names and then began to think deeply.
Jia Chong's death is probably the happiest thing for Cao Mao in recent days.
Cao Mao had already wanted to kill this insect when he was in Yuancheng. Finally, he avenged Guo Zi and took his life!
Once this guy dies, Jia Nanfeng will never come to power again.
Even if he is executed by Master Sima now, he has changed something, right?
This thief died in the hands of Master Sima, whom he had been kneeling and licking all the time. He must have died without any regrets.
But Cao Mao couldn't show his happiness, at least not yet.
Although Jia Chong died, an even more fatal incident happened to Zhong Hui.
For Zhong Hui and Jia Chong, it was simply... crushing.
Jia Chong only relied on flattery to climb up the ladder, but Zhong Hui was a real capable minister, and compared to Jia Chong, Zhong Hui had almost no leverage. At present, it seems that it is more difficult to kill him than to piss Sima Shi to death. difficulty.
With such a person staring at him instead of Jia Chong, the danger he will face in the future will probably be even greater.
When Cao Mao walked out of the door, he discovered that Master Sima was far more shameless than he thought. Of course, it might have been arranged by Zhong Hui.
These four chamberlains are all from Hanoi.
The two yellow gates at the door are both named Sima.
The guard outside, isn't that guy Cheng Ji? ?
You have turned Tai Chi Palace into Sima Mansion! ! !
Cao Mao took a deep breath and walked towards them.
"Chengjun!!!"
.....................
After Master Sima returned to the temple, Luoyang felt strangely calm.
Jia Chong's sudden death caused a huge sensation.
His crimes were a bit unbelievable to everyone.
Is this true? ?
Why did he do this? ?
The son of General Zhuge Dan also appeared publicly in Luoyang, claiming that he had been ordered by Jia Chong to hunt outside the city a few days ago and did not know what was happening inside the city.
All this seems to confirm Jia Chong's crime.
In the entire temple, no one came to defend Jia Chong.
Only Jia Chong's wife was still crying about the incident and wrote a letter demanding severe punishment for Zhong Hui, otherwise she would write to her uncle.
Unfortunately, her mother-in-law's family didn't seem to think so, and sent someone to take her back overnight.
The daughter Jia Chong had with his first wife, as well as Jia Chong's mother, were all taken away by her, so there was still some friendship.
According to some unreliable news, the emperor was extremely sad because of Jia Chong's death. He spent several days recuperating in the West Hall without leaving the door. He still has nightmares and is in a very bad state.
These rumors are becoming more and more frequent, and some even say that the emperor is dead, and the general is not mourning.
At this moment, in the west hall, Sima Yan frowned and sat on the edge of the bed.
"It's true that Mr. Zhong will kill him if he wants. Why would he be brought before you to behead him?"
"It's bloody, I'm scared when I hear it!"
As Sima Yan spoke, his body trembled, and he looked at Cao Mao in front of him with some distress.
Cao Mao was curled up on the bed, looking really bad.
If the general wanted to scare him, he would have to be scared. If Zhong Hui wanted to frighten him by beheading him in front of him, then he would have to be frightened.
When Cao Mao saw the bloody scene for the first time, he was indeed very scared, but he also felt a sense of satisfaction that a great revenge had been avenged. The one who was beheaded was the dog thief Jia Chong. Killing such a dog thief would not let him Cao Mao was so frightened that he fainted.
However, Zhong Hui has given him a stage, so he must cooperate with him no matter what.
Zhong Hui's only problem is that he is too proud and looks down on others.
Talented people may have some problems like this.
Even Deng Ai and Sima Zhao were looked down upon by him, let alone himself?
When facing Zhong Hui, you can't be as hasty as you were with Jia Chong. If you need to be timid, just be timid, hold him up, hold him high, and then wait for him to fall down.
Cao Mao looked at Sima Yan in front of him and said with some fear: "An Shi, please stop talking. I haven't slept peacefully for a day since that incident..."
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, that Jia Chong is a traitor, and this is the fate he deserves!"
"Don't you know? This thief actually wanted to marry his daughter to my brother. I only found out about it after he died. What do you think his intentions are?"
Sima Yan's face was very ugly.
Cao Mao's eyes widened, "So there is such a thing!"
Sima Yan whispered: "Your Majesty said you should be wary of him, and he was right! This guy is indeed a traitor!"
Cao Mao looked around and whispered again: "Zhong Hui, who executed him, was ruthless and extremely arrogant. He only looked up to the general and despised everyone else. Moreover, he was still extremely young. An Shi did not want to be killed by this person." Got the handle!"
Sima Yan nodded thoughtfully.
Cao Mao added: "Judging from Jia Chong's thoughts, there are still many people in the temple who want to support Sima You to inherit the position of general. An Shi, as the legitimate son, you must win over some trustworthy people. Let them fully support you.”
"You have seen my situation. There are people like Zhong Hui in the temple. If your father insists on establishing Sima You in the future, I won't be able to help you much..."
Sima Yan was a little helpless.
The relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, and they can talk directly about many things.
He sighed, "I also want to win over them, but I don't have any official position or reputation. How can I get them to support me?"
Cao Mao smiled and said, "With An Shi's current official position, it is indeed difficult to win over the ministers, but there are more than just ministers in the world. Does An Shi know the allusion to Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty?"
"Emperor Hui of Han? Do you mean to let me marry my niece?"
"Well, that's not the case. When Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Han Dynasty, wanted to make King Zhao Ruyi the emperor, Emperor Hui's uncle found four famous people for him. These four famous people wanted to support Emperor Hui, but Emperor Gao gave up. The original idea was to let Emperor Hui inherit his position.”
Sima Yan's eyes lit up, "I see! Then where should I find those four people?"
"Four people are nothing. I can find seven people for An Shi. If I can get the support of these seven people, General Zhengxi will definitely not consider others..."
Sima Yan was overjoyed and held Cao Mao's hand tightly.
"Your Majesty's love, I will definitely repay you!"
