As soon as Zhong Hui spoke like this, Zhang Hua's face suddenly darkened.
He was about to ask, but Wei Shu tugged on his sleeve.
Zhong Hui noticed the young Huangmen Minister, glanced at him, and then said to Cao Mao: "Your Majesty, when discussing important matters, there is no need to keep flattering ministers side by side."
Zhang Hua asked calmly: "In this case, where is the person who has no virtue and deceives the emperor and speaks arrogant words?"
"Right on my side."
Zhong Hui replied without thinking.
Zhang Hua was about to speak again, but Wei Shu said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, please don't be rude to Mr. Zhong. Mr. Zhong is a great talent, and his moral level is so high that it is unattainable. How can you be rude?"
Zhong Hui's face also became gloomy.
In this era, you cannot say the name of the other person's parents to others, including homophones. This is a great humiliation.
However, Wei Shu emphasized the word "yao", which was a direct personal attack.
Cao Mao said helplessly: "Okay, Maoxian, Yang Yuan, Mr. Zhong is not a rude person. He must have his own reason for saying this."
He then looked at Zhong Hui and said with a smile: "Zhang Mao is young, Mr. Zhong, please don't care."
This is equivalent to the fact that the child is still young and ignorant, and is a very obvious favoritism.
Speaking of which, Zhong Hui is not that old. He is only seven years older than Zhang Hua, while Yang Hu and Du Yu are both older than Zhong Hui!
However, Zhong Hui was so fierce that he was always compared with people like Jiang Wei and Deng Ai who were more than 20 years older than him.
Nowadays, everyone subconsciously forgets his age and always puts him in the position of an important minister, as if Yang Hu, Du Yu and others have become juniors in front of him.
Zhong Hui was very proud of this.
Zhong Hui took a deep look at Zhang Hua and Wei Shu, and then looked at Cao Mao.
When these two people interrupted, his thoughts were interrupted.
Cao Mao asked them all to sit down, and then asked, "Jun Zhong just said that I had a big fault. Why did you say that?"
Zhong Hui then said: "Your Majesty, because of you, the country of Wei will cease to exist."
Zhang Hua narrowed his eyes and endured it again.
Cao Mao was shocked, "What do you mean, Mr. Zhong?!"
"Are you cursing my country, Wei Dynasty?!"
Zhong Hui said helplessly: "Your Majesty, things have reached this point, so there is no need to hide your clumsiness anymore."
"The general is seriously ill and is no longer as wise as he was before. Everyone thinks that this matter is a conspiracy by the ministers to collude with the Queen Mother to launch an attack together."
"But I can see clearly that Lu Yu and others have too many things to worry about, and they will never be so reckless. The Queen Mother is not so courageous at all. Wang Xiang is not entrusted by the Queen Mother or Lu Yu and others. This is Everything is done by His Majesty."
"If I am not wrong, Your Majesty should have secretly connected with Wang Xiang for the Queen Mother, and then used Wang Xiang to win over the ministers in the court. Taking advantage of the general's caution, Wang Xiang mistakenly thought that the general was about to attack, forcing him to attack early. Lu Yu and others People are trapped in it and have to do something, which is why we have the current situation."
Zhong Hui said seriously.
A flash of surprise flashed in Zhang Hua's eyes, and he looked at Wei Shu beside him.
Wei Shu was still the same, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
Cao Mao's face was full of confusion, "What is Shi Ji talking about?"
Zhong Hui took a deep breath, his defense was really about to break.
That was the case in Wuqiudian, and so was the emperor!
There is no one in Luoyang who dares to tell the truth, right?
No wonder the country is in turmoil and there are so many hypocritical people. The Wei Dynasty is going to die!
Zhong Hui immediately couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Your Majesty! I'm not here this time to ask for guilt, but to help Your Majesty support the country!"
Cao Mao was overjoyed and said, "Okay, Shi Ji is here to assist me. I don't get what I asked for, so I'll leave it to you."
Zhong Hui's face darkened, knowing that he could not follow the emperor's train of thought, so he interrupted him directly and said seriously: "Does Your Majesty feel proud that he has defeated the general?"
"Your Majesty's behavior is just drinking poison to quench your thirst."
"Don't you know that these ministers are dozens of times more hateful than the general?"
"These people only care about their own interests and don't care about the survival of the country. The policies they propose are also authorized by His Majesty, right?"
"Does Your Majesty know the consequences of these policies? Once the new Zhongzheng system is implemented, those scholars from poor families will no longer have any chance to get ahead. There are so many great families in the world, from localities to temples, almost everywhere , will be occupied by people from aristocratic families."
"Perhaps Your Majesty can clearly see the virtues of these people. How can they govern the world well if they drink wine and take it easy?!"
"This will lead to the collapse of various places, the failure of government policies in temples, and the difficulty of local people's livelihood."
"As for the tax issue, it will completely overwhelm the common people. If the wealthy families do not pay taxes, then all the income of the temples will be transferred to the common people. The common people will not only have to pay their own taxes, but also After all the big families were handed over, in less than five years, the common people were bankrupt and rebellions broke out, and the temple had to use the high-ranking disciples to suppress these people!"
"The criminal law is even more abominable! If there is no criminal law to control it, the behavior of the wealthy people will be a hundred times more wanton than it is now!"
"If Your Majesty does not stop it, chaos will arise within ten years and the Wei Dynasty will surely fall!"
After hearing Zhong Hui's words, neither Zhang Hua nor Wei Shu cared about the rudeness in them.
Cao Mao's face was as calm as ever.
He knows the consequences of doing this better than Zhong Hui. These things will not only destroy the Wei Dynasty, but may even destroy the nation.
However, is this caused by oneself?
If I didn't take action, wouldn't this happen?
You were charged with such a big crime in the first place. These hidden dangers did not appear suddenly in the past few months. What did you do before?
Zhong Hui saw that Cao Mao was unmoved, and his eyes were a little surprised.
This is your own country, aren't you worried at all? ?
Cao Mao said seriously: "If this is really the case, Mr. Zhong should go to the Queen Mother, go to Gao Gong, and Lu Gong, and tell them clearly, why do you need to come to me?"
"I am still young and have never personally governed. Even if I agree with what you say, what's the use?"
"Your Majesty only needs to agree, and the rest can be left to my ministers to take care of."
Cao Mao was very surprised, "Are you using my name to deal with the Queen Mother?!"
"That's my mother!"
"How dare you trap me into being unfilial?!"
Cao Mao frowned, looking a little annoyed.
Zhong Hui said calmly: "Others don't know, but I know in my heart that your Majesty is by no means a mediocre king. Your Majesty's talents are not weaker than those of the generals. You will not let the Wei Dynasty perish like this."
"Your Majesty could have been the Duke of Shanyang, but he did not do so. This shows that your Majesty has the world in mind and will not allow such a situation to occur."
"The general is seriously ill and is dying. Although General Zhengxi can know people and make good use of them, he is impatient when trouble comes and his impatience leads to chaos. If the general is not here, he will definitely not be able to face the current situation."
"I am willing to assist Your Majesty, help the country, and establish an unparalleled great cause!"
"My lifelong ambition is to support the Holy King and leave his name in history. Isn't the current situation a good time for a man to establish supreme merits?!"
Zhong Hui's eyes became brighter and brighter, even a little excited.
Zhong Hui, the more chaotic the situation, the happier he is, probably because the chaotic situation will give him more opportunities to perform.
In his eyes, there were suddenly more things he could do now. He wasn't worried about having too many things to do, he was just worried about having no place to use them.
Zhong Hui continued: "Your Majesty has the ambition to govern the world, and I have the ability to govern the world. If Your Majesty does not dislike it, I am willing to follow Your Majesty and pioneer for Your Majesty from now on!!"
After saying that, he stood up and saluted Cao Mao.
After hearing his words, Cao Mao suddenly fell silent.
He knew that although Zhong Hui was not a good person, he would not lie to him like this. He might really want to help him.
Master Sima is no longer good. Sima Zhao cannot be said to be stupid, but his emotional control is too poor and he gets easily fooled. As soon as he gets fooled, his IQ disappears and he becomes almost like his son.
If everything goes smoothly, he will be a good successor, but in this situation, I'm afraid he is always on top and has no sense.
Moreover, because of Zhong Hui's bad character, Sima Zhao did not trust him as much as Master Sima.
The relationship between the two was not very good in the past.
When Sima Zhao went to play with Chen Qian, Chen Tai and others, he asked Zhong Hui to get in the car when he passed by his house. But when Zhong Hui went out, their car had already gone far. When Zhong Hui caught up with him, Sima Zhao asked "I'm planning to go with you, why are you so late? I hope you're far away."
In front of Zhong Hui, it was obviously inappropriate to say the word "yao".
Zhong Hui immediately replied: "Jiao Ran Yishi, why do you need to be in the same group?"
Chen Qian's father is Chen Jiao, Sima Zhao's father Sima Yi, and Chen Tai's father Chen Qun. They called three people by their names at the same time in one sentence.
Sima Zhao was very angry and asked again: "What kind of person is Gao Yao?"
Zhong Hui replied directly: "Not as good as Yao and Shun, not as good as Zhou Gong and Confucius, but he was also a virtuous man at that time."
It can be seen that Zhong Hui didn't have much respect for Sima Zhao at all, and even dared to call his father by his first name and fight back directly.
Zhong Hui probably also knew that Sima Zhao was not worthy of his help, so he was willing to follow Cao Mao for the sake of his inner ambitions.
Cao Mao knew this man's character. If he hesitated now, he would definitely offend him to death. He didn't want to provoke this madman prematurely.
"good!!"
Cao Mao shouted, he quickly stood up and helped Zhong Hui up in front of him.
"Shiji, with your help, I no longer have to worry about not being able to complete my father's great achievements!"
"Please get up! Please get up!"
Zhong Hui stood up with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, this general"
"Shiji, since you are assisting me, then stop talking about the general and let them fight! Let's just do our own thing!"
The smile on Zhong Hui's face suddenly stiffened.
