"I have never heard of a wise man receiving a great reward for his merits."
During the court meeting, Gao Rou stood up and looked at the ministers in front of him, all fired up.
"I heard that the ministers in the temple actually wrote a letter to persuade the Taiwei to accept the reward. Is this to frame the Taiwei for injustice? It is not that the Taiwei has no merit, but how does his merit compare with Xuan Wen Gong? How can he be allowed to do so? How about accepting a reward like this from the Duke?"
"Is it possible that today's great generals assist the holy monarchs and help the world just to covet titles and reputations?"
"These people just write letters one after another so that they can get rewards together. These are people who do not care about morality for their own interests and are people of low moral character. And those who neglect government affairs and make government orders unimplemented in order to achieve their own goals , should be dealt with!!"
Gao Rou scolded loudly.
The expressions of the officials continued to change.
Great sage Situ Gong, you have a title, even your son has a title, you are ranked first among the ministers, you almost vomit after eating meat, but you don’t allow us to drink soup? ?
Low morals? How can those who deposed the emperor be any better than us?
As the Sima family tore away the rag of morality, the entire temple became smoky.
Almost no one was spared.
Sima Zhao stood up at this moment and said helplessly: "Mr. Situ, not all ministers are for their own interests. There are indeed many government affairs in the temple. This is enough to prove that our Wei Dynasty is prosperous, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the behavior of the officials , cannot all be treated as threats..."
Sima Zhao wore his own hypocritical skin and played the role of a good guy in front of the officials.
Gao Rou's breathing became heavier, this shameless bitch! !
He wanted to yell, but there seemed to be the sound of soldiers' armor clashing outside. This made Situ Gong nowhere to vent his resentment. He could only cooperate with Sima Zhao and continue to act.
Although the good man Sima Zhao repeatedly said that he wanted to be considerate of the ministers, the evil man Gao Rou still ignored his dissuasion and wanted to deal with those officials who were lazy in their affairs. At the same time, he said that anyone who dared to mention this matter again would be punished. The emperor's disrespect will definitely be dealt with severely.
The ministers held back their anger and ended the court meeting silently.
Gao Rou still chose to bow to Master Sima.
He is no longer the great sage known for his toughness.
He didn't have the courage to fight to the death with Master Sima. Between self-destruction and toughness, he chose to cooperate with self-destruction.
At the same time, he continued to comfort himself.
Master Sima doesn't have much time left, so why bother arguing about these things with a dying man?
Just pretend to cooperate with him first, and when he is gone, things will be different!
When Situ Gong came forward in person, he decisively defined petitioning for rewards as a crime. Unless they planned to confront Gao Rou, these ministers would naturally put away these thoughts.
Sima Zhao comforted these people one by one.
"Don't worry, everyone. In fact, the general has some ideas about this matter, and may write to His Majesty to request a change in the nobility system..."
The ministers who were quite unhappy at first, now heard Sima Zhao's words, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Gao Rou, who was about to go out, trembled all over and looked in the direction of Sima Zhao in shock.
At this moment, he still didn't understand that he had been deceived by Zhong Hui!
You want to change the nobility system but you want me to suppress the ministers first? !
Gao Rou felt so angry that she almost couldn't help but pounce on Sima Zhao.
But Sima Zhao no longer cared about Mr. Situ. He even looked provocatively in Gao Rou's direction with a smile.
Mr. Situ, who has lost your reputation and support, do you still have the confidence to challenge us?
Gao Rou took a deep breath, turned and left.
The back figure looked even more bleak.
This was planned by Zhong Hui early in the morning.
Gao Rou will be the bad guy, and Sima Zhao will be the good guy, creating a bigger pie for them.
In fact, it can't be said to be a cake, because Sima Zhao really had such an idea.
Because their own way of rising is quite unusual, if they want to go further, they can only win over these ministers.
Kill Jia Chong to intimidate, use Gao Rou to suppress, and then come forward to promise greater benefits.
After these three axes were chopped down, the temple was basically quiet and no noise could be heard.
Sima Zhao was in a good mood after listening to the ministers saying that they had submitted letters before because they loved the general. Zhong Hui's previous rude behavior was directly forgotten by him.
What a great talent! !
It is normal for talented people to be a little arrogant. You can never be disrespectful to Mr. Zhong in the future!
The Sima family accomplished their goal, but Gao Rou was deceived.
After this incident, Gao Rou's reputation in the temple was greatly damaged. The ministers who were originally dependent on him all sided with the Sima family. The largest independent faction in the temple besides the Sima family fell. The relationship between the two parties changed from cooperation to cooperation. Became dependent.
After the meeting, Sima Zhao excitedly sat on the edge of the bed, holding Master Sima's hand, his eyes full of happiness.
"Zhong Jun is really a god! Then Gao Rou made a gun for us, and I came forward to conquer them completely! Hahaha, it didn't take any effort. Moreover, after this incident, Gao Rou never dared to fight with us again. We clamored that those aristocratic families have become much more honest, and the Guo family has also lost its support..."
"Zhuge Dan's affairs have begun to calm down. Mr. Zhong, why don't you return to the temple as soon as possible?"
Sima Zhao looked at Zhong Hui sitting aside and wished he could get up and bow to him right now.
Compared with this person, Du Yu, the staff member beside him, is still far behind.
Zhong Hui was so praised by Sima Zhao. He couldn't hide the smile on his face and raised his head. "It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning. This is because the general didn't take action. Otherwise, how could it be so troublesome?"
Unlike the happiness of these two people, Master Sima's face was full of solemnity.
"You killed Jia Chong too quickly..."
Zhong Hui was quite disdainful, "Sooner or later, I have to kill him. Wouldn't it be good to make his death more valuable?"
"General, are you worried about Guo Huai? Don't worry. I heard that Guo Huai fainted again not long ago. The doctors are working hard to treat him. I think he will not survive more than half a year."
Sima Zhao had turned into Zhong Hui's brainless licking dog at this moment, and nodded quickly, "Zhong Jun is right! He deserves to be killed! He deserves to be killed!"
"Only the people in the palace should be killed."
Master Sima said calmly, and then asked: "Have all the Huangmen soldiers who were the guards around the emperor been dealt with?"
Zhong Hui frowned, "The eunuch has been executed."
Sima Zhao patted his chest, "Leave the rest of the Huangmen guards to me. I will order them all to be executed now!"
Master Sima glanced at Zhong Hui, then looked at Sima Zhao, and shook his head, "It doesn't have to be like this. Just arrange other official positions for them."
Sima Zhao was a little confused, but still nodded.
Zhong Hui continued: "General, the next step is to deal with Wang Su and the Queen Mother."
"I think there is no need for the Queen Mother to worry. The Guo family must be related to this matter, but we cannot act rashly."
"Wang Su can't stay any longer. Let's find another teacher for the emperor."
Sima Zhao was frightened, "Are you going to kill him?!"
"Of course not. People like the prince should be used in temples."
Master Sima waved his hand and said calmly: "Shi Ji can handle these matters himself."
"Over at Guanqiu Dian, you should be more careful. Now is not a good time to break up with Guanqiu Jian."
Because of Cao Mao's leak, Sima Shi's plan was postponed again.
He originally wanted to get rid of Zhuge Dan, and then use Cao Mao's name to give an order to Guanqiu Jian, asking him to enter the temple to serve as three ministers. As long as Guan Qiujian objected, he could justifiably call on the army to attack him.
But now, there is a serious problem with his physical condition, and he must go under the knife.
Zhuge Dan was also affected by the previous incident and fell short of success.
It would be difficult to attack Guanqiu Jian at this time without causing big problems.
Thinking of this difficult opponent, Master Sima's right eye was filled with murderous intent.
Of course Zhong Hui also knew the stakes involved. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't touch them unless it is absolutely necessary."
Master Sima nodded, and then asked: "When will the doctor prepare to operate?"
Upon hearing this, Sima Zhao and Zhong Hui immediately fell silent.
The doctors had clearly informed them of the dangers of surgery. The doctors were extremely frightened because they did not dare to say that it would be successful.
Sima Zhao lowered his head, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.
"Brother, doctors don't dare to take action rashly. They say they have to make all preparations first and choose an auspicious time..."
"Huh, Ji Xiang? No need to waste time, let him come in now and take action."
"ah?"
"Brother, but..."
"It's okay. Tell the doctor not to be afraid. If it doesn't succeed, it won't be his fault."
"In addition, if I die, you are not allowed to embarrass the doctor. In the military, we still need such a golden doctor to save lives."
Master Sima's tone was very calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Sima Zhao and Zhong Hui looked at each other and then bowed to him.
"only!!!"
