Wang Su lowered his head and slowly described his physical condition. The meaning in his words was very clear, that he was unwilling to go to Yongliang.
Sima Zhao touched his nose and wanted to refuse, but looking at his wife beside him, he couldn't refute it directly.
Compared with Sima Shi, a cold-blooded political machine, Sima Zhao still has some human touch.
He is more like a person who does not hesitate to protect his confidant Jia Chong at the cost of offending his ministers. He also hesitates on the issue of establishing his two sons as heir apparent. He feels angry and sad. He is also good to his relatives.
In order to achieve his goal, Master Sima could kill his wife or son-in-law. If Sima Zhao destroyed the overall interests of the Sima family, he might be able to kill his younger brother.
Sima Yan's human touch is even stronger.
Historically, the Jin army broke through Jianye, Sun Hao surrendered, and Zhuge Liang escaped. Sima Yan knew that Zhuge Liang's sister was Princess Langya and must have gone to where her sister was, so he went to find him. Zhuge Liang fled to the toilet, and Sima Yan Yan immediately blocked the door of the toilet, telling people about their friendship when they were young, and wanted to apologize...
Later, Sima Yan learned that his uncle was extravagant and was competing with others for wealth. His first thought was to secretly give things to his uncle to prevent him from losing...
When he learned that his father-in-law had taken advantage of his fainting state to insert confidants and change his edict, he simply scolded him...
Even when the minister reprimanded him in person, he just smiled and said nothing...
Although this person is not very good at running the country, he is really nothing to say as a friend or relative. The main thing is that he treats people with sincerity, is generous and gentle.
When I arrived at Sima Zhong, my human touch became even more important. This person was happy to meet everyone.
In fact, Wang Yuanji rarely participated in the affairs of her natal family. No matter whether her brothers came to her or her father came to find her, she would not help, nor would she plead with Sima Zhao because of her natal family's affairs. It was precisely because of her This kind of character made Sima Zhao dote on her even more.
But this time, Wang Yuanji stood up.
After Wang Su finished speaking, Wang Yuanji looked at Sima Zhao and said seriously: "Zhong Hui will be unjust and like to stir up trouble. Too much favor will definitely lead to chaos. He cannot be entrusted with important responsibilities. He should be suppressed appropriately."
Sima Zhao scratched his head and came again.
He didn't know why, but his wife had a strong opinion of Sima Zhao. She never blew any gossip into his ears, except for Zhong Hui. Whenever she praised this capable minister, Wang Yuanji always said this Personally unreliable, too ambitious, likes to stir up trouble, arrogant, etc.
How could Sima Zhao not know these shortcomings of Zhong Hui.
However, this person is really useful!
The ministers in the temple are all motivated by their own interests, and the most important thing is that they collude with each other.
Although the Sima family is now cooperating with many powerful families to devour Cao Wei, the situation will be different after they take power.
Now that Sima Zhao is attacking Gao Rou and others, he is actually clearing future obstacles.
Historically, after Sima Yan completed the unification, the temple took a series of measures to restrict the wealthy families and deal with the aristocratic families... It was faster to fall out than to read a book. Unfortunately, the wealthy families that had become bigger and stronger could no longer be subdued by the temple. .
If it's Master Sima, it's hard to tell, but Sima Yan... This man has been in power for many years and has never killed many people. He can't bear to kill.
How can such an innovation be achieved without bloodshed?
Although Zhong Hui has many shortcomings, he never colludes with other wealthy clans. Although he is not a lonely minister, he is still a capable minister who can be trusted and has a sharp sword.
Wang Su heard his daughter's words, but did not echo them. He calmly waited for Sima Zhao to reply.
Sima Zhao shook his head, "My father-in-law, you are worrying too much. No one said that I would send you to Liangyong. I just thought that if things change, I would let you go. If you are not willing to go, I will continue to serve as Tai." Chang, what’s this?”
Wang Su glanced at Wang Yuanji and said nothing.
Wang Yuanji suddenly said, "Father, this is right."
Wang Su was stunned. Although he was confused, he still nodded to show his compliance.
While the three of them were talking, a soldier reported that Zhong Yu had come to pay him a visit.
Sima Zhao laughed, "Just as we were talking about Zhonghui, his brother came!"
A trace of anger flashed in Wang Su's eyes, and he stood up immediately, "Then I'll go back first..."
"Don't be anxious, father-in-law... You haven't been here for a long time, so why not rest in the backyard for a while... Madam, take your father-in-law to chat for a while. I'll be there after I finish my work."
Wang Yuanji accepted the order and immediately had her old father help her out of the inner room.
As soon as he walked out, he met Zhong Yu.
When Zhong Yu saw the two of them, he hurriedly bowed to meet them, his attitude was very sincere.
Wang Su snorted coldly and ignored it.
Zhong Yu said helplessly: "My brother is naughty. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me. In a few days, I will definitely go to your mansion to apologize..."
Hearing Zhong Yu's words, Wang Su had not yet opened his mouth, but Wang Yuanji said first: "You don't have to be like this, Mr. Zhong, business is business, how can you say you offend him? If you want to visit, our family should visit first..."
The two chatted for a few words before Zhong Yu just walked into the inner room.
Wang Yuanji put away the smile on her face and said to her father seriously: "Zhong Yu is different from his younger brother. He should not be offended and should have more contact with him."
"Sigh... these are all easy to say, but at my... age, how can I go to Liangyong? Jiang Wei made such a big fuss..."
Wang Su was obviously a little confused.
Wang Yuanji reassured: "Father, don't worry... This is just Zhong Hui trying to scare you. I think this is a good opportunity to leave the temple and return to my hometown... There is a lot of turmoil in Luoyang now, so I will take this opportunity to retire and return." Home, being away from these things, might not be such a bad thing.”
At this moment, Zhong Yu naturally saw Sima Zhao.
Sima Zhao politely invited Zhong Yu to his side, asked him to sit down, and then asked kindly: "Uncle Zhi is here, but what do you want to report?"
"General, those people who were previously imprisoned for spreading rumors have been investigated clearly. They all came to Luoyang from Huainan within this year... Although they have not confessed, they are all related to Guanqiu Jian..."
Sima Zhao was stunned and asked calmly: "Why do you think this matter is related to General Guanqiu?"
Zhong Yu hurriedly said: "Guan Qiu Jian was very ambitious and had good relations with Xiahou Xuan, Li Feng and others. The general dealt with those people. Guan Qiu Jian must have been unhappy. He had long wanted to deceive the emperor, so he sent people to come. Come to Luoyang to spread rumors in an attempt to drive a wedge between the monarch and his ministers, in order to gain power in the Wei Dynasty..."
Sima Zhao was overjoyed and quickly took Zhong Yu's hand, "There are not many ministers in the court who can tell the truth like you!"
Zhong Yu's words directly stated his position. He was firmly on the side of the Sima family and opposed Guanqiu Jian and other rebellious officials and traitors.
Sima Zhao said with emotion: "How lucky we are to have you and Shi Ji in the temple!"
Zhong Yu hesitated for a moment, then said simply: "General, my brother is very intelligent, but he likes to play with power and is very ambitious. You must be careful."
Sima Zhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly:
"If this is true in the future, then I will only punish Zhong Hui and not implicate the Zhong family."
"Thank you General!!"
Zhong Yu saluted again.
After Zhong Yu found that he could no longer restrain his younger brother, he could only adopt this method to reduce the harm his younger brother caused to his family. This was not considered backstabbing his younger brother. In fact, it was the same as Sima Fu.
To leave a way out for his family, it stands to reason that Zhong Yu should go all out and Zhong Hui should be responsible for leaving a way out.
But Zhong Hui was much more radical than Zhong Yu. He had done what his brother should do, so Zhong Yu naturally had no choice but to be a fallback.
I hope what I'm worried about won't happen.
Sima Zhao did not mention Zhong Hui again. He said seriously: "It is said that you are good at recognizing people. Now the prince is not willing to be your majesty's teacher. Your majesty is still young and cannot be without someone to teach me. Are you willing to recommend me a teacher?" Human?"
Zhong Yu said without thinking: "Sikong Zhenggong is highly respected and proficient in classics. His talent and learning are recognized by everyone in the world. He should be responsible for teaching your majesty."
Sima Zhao narrowed his eyes. He still remembered that Jia Chong had said that Cao Mao was trying to use Zheng Chong to win over the world's scholars.
He said slowly: "Of course Mr. Zheng is suitable, but he is busy with state affairs. If I let him be responsible for teaching His Majesty again, I am afraid he will be too busy. Can you think of others?"
Zhong Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I am stupid. Apart from Mr. Zheng, I really can't think of anyone else."
Sima Zhao pursed his lips. This is why he likes Zhong Hui. These people in the temple always like to hide their secrets and do not seek merit, but only want no faults.
Dare not say anything.
Zhong Hui would not be like this. He dares to speak and take responsibility.
At this moment, Sima Zhao thought of another person. Perhaps, this person could be Cao Mao's teacher.
Whether it is reputation, morality, or closeness to the Sima family, it is the most suitable.
