Sima Zhao approached step by step. When he finally reached Sima Yan, he suddenly laughed when he looked at his son who was trembling slightly but not flinching.
"Not bad, I have gained some courage."
Sima Zhao put away his coldness just now, returned to his seat, pointed to his side, and said, "Sit down."
Sima Yan was a little surprised that his father didn't hit him!
Not only did he not hit him, but he was also so gentle to himself!
He sat next to his father in surprise.
Sima Zhao frowned and sighed, "An Shi, these are troubled times."
"I am very happy that you have the idea to win over famous people and have the courage to challenge me. However, the situation is unclear now and your uncle has not woken up yet. At this moment, you can no longer take people to the palace."
"If something happens, how can you take responsibility?"
Sima Zhao no longer cursed as before, but patiently explained to his son.
"When these things are over, you can win over those celebrities. If you want to do these things, I will not object to you. I just say that the current situation is not suitable. If I am not wrong, this is what Cao Mao teaches you. Right?"
"Your Majesty, it takes more than a day or two to win over those celebrities..."
While Sima Zhao was talking, someone broke into the study.
Sima Zhao was stunned and was about to curse, but when he saw the person coming, he quickly put away his dissatisfaction.
"Zhongjun?"
"Why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Zhong Hui. Sima Zhao was quite nice to Zhong Hui. He was tolerant and valued him in every aspect. However, Zhong Hui actually looked down upon Sima Zhao. It was completely different from when he faced Sima Shi. .
Zhong Hui was about to answer Sima Zhao when he saw Sima Yan beside him. He was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Why is An Shi here?"
Sima Yan quickly expressed his thoughts again.
Zhong Hui's eyes lit up.
"This is a good thing!"
"It should be so, it's time to go."
Zhong Hui's words of support made Sima Zhao a little shocked. He hurriedly stepped forward, took Zhong Hui's hand, pulled him back, and whispered: "Zhong Jun, your Majesty has always wanted to contact these people. You If I agree, wouldn’t it be very troublesome?”
Zhong Hui frowned and said seriously: "How can you say that?"
"Whatever your Majesty wants to do, can we ministers still be able to stop it?"
"If you want me to die, I have to die, let alone such a trivial matter? Your Majesty is the common ruler of the world, and as ministers, we should obey!"
"Besides, it is an elegant thing for these seven talents to gather in the palace. It will definitely cause a sensation in the world. Aren't there always some villains who say that we are rude to His Majesty by imprisoning him? If talents gather in Tai Chi Hall, who will How dare you speak like that again?"
Zhong Hui said with a smile.
Sima Zhao suddenly realized, but felt something was wrong.
Are you doing this to clear up rumors, or to join this party? ?
Sima Zhao was very aware of Zhong Hui's esteem for these celebrities.
As for the bullshit about you wanting your subjects to die...
This was not the case when you took Jia Chong to the palace to behead him a few days ago!
Faced with this brother's confidant, the person he had to rely on, Sima Zhao still put away his thoughts and said seriously: "I'm just worried that your majesty will be deceived by villains..."
"No, these are all world-famous sages. How could they deceive Your Majesty?"
"When the time comes, I will also go with you...to make sure they don't cause any trouble!"
Zhong Hui said very seriously.
As expected, you just wanted to join the party! !
Sima Zhao complained in his heart and looked at Sima Yan helplessly.
Sima Yan was of course overjoyed. He was blinking his eyes and looking at his father, his eyes full of expectation.
"Just do what An Shi said. What does the general think?"
Sima Zhao pursed his lips. Although he didn't want to do this, he still didn't refuse Zhong Hui and agreed.
Sima Yan was so happy that he quickly saluted the two of them.
"Thank you, father! Thank you, Mr. Zhong!"
"I'm going to invite them!! Go now!!"
Sima Yan left here happily.
Sima Zhao watched his son leave, then looked helplessly at Zhong Hui and asked, "Why is Mr. Zhong looking for me?"
Zhong Hui motioned for Sima Zhao to sit down, and the two sat facing each other.
Zhong Hui pondered for a moment and then said: "The general is seriously ill, and the matter of dealing with Guanqiu Jian cannot be delayed any longer."
"Give Guanqiu Jian the emperor's edict to come to Luoyang and serve as the Third Duke."
"ah???"
Sima Zhao stood up suddenly, unable to sit still at all.
"Zhong Jun! Are you going to take action against Guanqiu Jian now? What should you do if you force him to rebel?"
"My brother can't command the army now. Do you want me to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion? He will never give in easily..."
Sima Zhao looked very impatient.
This situation is really not good for my family.
Zhong Hui was very calm. He asked, "When does General Zhengxi think Guanqiu Jian should be dealt with?"
"should...."
Sima Zhao was about to answer, but couldn't.
Whether we continue to delay or deal with him now, it will be very detrimental to the Sima family.
There is no single best solution!
Dilemma! !
Seeing Sima Zhao's helpless look, Zhong Hui smiled and comforted him: "General, don't worry."
"It's all Jia Chong's fault!! If it weren't for him! Zhuge Dan would be on our side now!!"
Sima Zhao gritted his teeth. Sima Shi's original plan was to wait for Guo Huai to die, use his own people to control the army in the northwest, then let Zhuge Dan stand on his side, and finally let Wang and Shi remain neutral, so that he could He led an army to attack Guanqiu Jian.
But now, Guo Huai is seriously ill, but he is not dead.
Zhuge Dan was about to defect to them, but because of the rumor, Zhuge Dan quickly distanced himself from his relationship with the general, fearing to tarnish his reputation.
The situation becomes increasingly unfavorable.
"If Guanqiu Jian is forced to rebel now, who will lead the army?"
Zhong Hui shook his head, "General, don't worry, just do as you are told."
"Guanqiu Jian has 80,000 elite troops under his command, but their families are all in the north and have no intention of fighting. They can only fight quickly. If they cannot attack for a long time, their morale will definitely be lost. When the time comes, it will be very easy to put him down. "
"How did Zhou Yafu in ancient times quell the chaos in various countries?"
Zhong Hui asked with a smile.
Sima Zhao was stunned, "Hold on or wear down?"
"Guanqiu Jian is a famous general, but his current disadvantage is too obvious."
"You have more than 100,000 Chinese troops under your command. Together with the local generals who support us, you can mobilize more than 200,000 troops. Guanqiu Jian is definitely no match for us."
"Even if you give the order, if Guan Qiu Jian rebels because of this, who in the world would dare to support him?"
"How can you be our opponent if you are alone?"
Seeing the confident Zhong Hui, Sima Zhao suddenly felt a little weird.
He narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously: "Zhong Jun, please tell me truthfully, are you and my brother planning something?"
"Didn't you meet the General last time?"
"Are you trying to trick the rebels out of the temple and catch them all?"
"Still want to show weakness to the enemy?? Force Guanqiu Jian to raise troops and attack quickly??"
Zhong Hui was expressionless, "How can there be any rebels in the temple? The general lies on the bed all day, motionless. Can he still deal with the rebels you call him like this? Don't think about this, just do your best. Get ready."
Sima Zhao narrowed his eyes, "I still have to talk to my brother first before I can make a decision."
Zhong Hui's face turned cold and he was very unhappy.
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I don't dare to do such a big thing without my brother's order."
Zhong Hui sneered, "General, do you think I will collude with foreign enemies to murder you?"
"That's absolutely not the case! Mr. Zhong, please don't use such words!"
Sima Zhao stood up very seriously and saluted Zhong Hui.
"It's just that my elder brother has always been my boss. Before he went under the knife, he told me not to anger Guanqiu Jian."
"I dare not disobey my brother's orders."
Hearing Sima Zhao's words, Zhong Hui smiled and turned and left without saying anything more.
After he left, Sima Zhao began to ponder again. This matter was a bit strange, and Zhong Hui's reaction was also wrong. Could it be that my brother was really faking it? ? Is he actually cured? ?
If this is the case, then I complained and complained in front of him a few days ago...
The corners of Sima Zhao's eyes trembled.
If it breaks, it will cause trouble.
I need to go find my brother to make sure.
