Zhong Hui looked at the emperor's admiring eyes and felt particularly happy.
In the past few days, Ji Kang and the emperor's attitudes towards themselves have undergone great changes. Oh, by the way, there is also Zhang Hua.
Ji Kang had always ignored Zhong Hui and was very arrogant, but after what happened in the past few days, Ji Kang actually took the initiative to ask him out for a drink.
When he asked Zhong Hui if there was anything he could do to help him.
Zhong Hui expressed his demands.
He hoped that Ji Kang could play Guangling San for him.
Ji Kang was unambiguous and immediately took the piano and played it for Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui enjoyed listening very much, which made him even happier than being the Third Lord.
As for His Majesty the Emperor, the same thing has happened in the past few days. The eyes he looks at him have become more and more affectionate. Sometimes he grabs his hand and is reluctant to let go.
Every day I write a lot of poems to praise myself, and I also give him many titles.
Cao Mao felt that Zhong Hui was actually somewhat similar to the Queen Mother Guo. He cared about the feeling of being valued. Of course, he could not say this.
But Zhong Hui did give him a big surprise.
At this moment, Zhong Hui talked about his next plan.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers have now forgotten my Zongzheng identity. They are all watching my words and deeds, trying to trap me and look for evidence of guilt."
"Just in time, I have sent someone to inform He Zeng. Soon, the clan will head to their own kingdom from Hebei."
"If the ministers are staring at me now, they won't find out what's going on outside in time."
Cao Mao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, yes, yes, yes.
Zhong Hui said with a smile: "When they find out about the clan's problems, they will start a crazy counterattack and want to send these people back."
"Then what should we do?"
"By this time, the army of Shu will be coming. They have probably sent out their troops by now."
"When they are fighting over the clan issue, they will suddenly find that there is a big problem in Yongliang, and they will not dare to continue to engage in clan issues, and will use all their strength to deal with the affairs of Shu."
Cao Mao suddenly realized, "So that's the case. Is this good for us?"
"Hahaha, it's beneficial, of course it's beneficial."
"Your Majesty, I believe that Chen Tai and Sima Wang are not Jiang Wei's enemies. If you want to stop Jiang Wei, you need a commander with military talents that can match his. Let this person lead the northwest army."
"Your Majesty, this is what we should be preparing for now."
Zhong Hui narrowed his eyes, "Your Majesty, does your Majesty know who can resist Jiang Wei?"
"Zhong Jun will definitely do it! If you go there, sooner or later you will be able to defeat Jiang Wei and destroy Shu!"
Zhong Hui couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh when he heard Cao Mao's words.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true, but I cannot leave Luoyang now. I think the person who can resist Jiang Wei now is Deng Ai, the governor of Yanzhou."
"Oh? Deng Ai? I know this person. I heard that he is a disciple of Duke Xuanwen. He is cautious, good at fighting, and enforces the law impartially. After taking office in Yanzhou, he dealt more with the children of high-ranking families and reused people from poor families. He was both civil and military."
"Yes, that's the person."
"Speaking of which, even if General Wei goes there in person, he may not be able to stop Jiang Wei. Besides, General Wei still has to watch the affairs in Luoyang, so he cannot go there in person. If he goes there, maybe Sima Fu can be appointed as the coach, but now If they separate, Sima Fu is not the most suitable candidate."
"Therefore, the most suitable candidate is Deng Ai."
Zhong Hui narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, although this person comes from a wealthy family, he has experienced disasters in his youth. He is a pragmatic person and hates people who talk nonsense. It can be seen from Yanzhou's policies that this person is not the same person as the wealthy family. "
"If your Majesty can win over this person, let him serve as General Zhenxi."
"Then Wei's most elite army is in your Majesty's hands."
"With Deng Ai and Guan Qiu Jian, Your Majesty does not need to be afraid of anyone in the world!"
Cao Mao's eyes widened. He thought that his thoughts were far enough away. This clock would be linked to another, so how could it be farther away than he thought?
Zhong Hui said seriously: "It's just that this person is greedy for merit and knows how to govern, but he doesn't understand government affairs at all. If your Majesty wants to use him, you must be careful."
"Okay, I understand, so how should I win over this person?"
"Hahaha, this man has an upright nature. It is easier to win over him than to win over Yang Hu."
Cao Mao naturally obeyed Zhong Jun in everything.
Zhong Hui left in a hurry again.
Because he still has a lot of things to do.
After sending this person away, Zhang Hua finally couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I was still a little dissatisfied with this person in the past. I thought I was not weak to him, but now it seems that I am far inferior to him."
"Don't belittle Maoxian. Maoxian is just young. When he gets older, he may not be weaker than Zhong Shiji."
"So what do we do now?"
"Now?"
Cao Mao thought about it, and it seemed that Zhong Hui had done everything in the plan by himself.
"Now feel free to prepare for the East Hall banquet."
"only!"
Cao Mao walked out of the west hall, and Cheng Ji quickly followed him.
Cheng Ji is quite happy recently. His brother has become a captain and is now following Sima Zhao to quell the rebellion.
Their family has once again reached a new level.
Recently, many children from wealthy families have come to Cheng Ji to ask him about the situation in the palace.
"Are there many people looking for you recently?"
"More, more and more, haha. People who usually don't even look at me when we meet each other, now come with gifts, constantly show their goodwill, and ask about the situation in the palace."
Chengji replied with a smile.
"No wonder you are so happy these days, you seem to have gained a lot!"
Cheng Ji hurriedly said: "Isn't this all what His Majesty ordered?"
"I know why these people came to me and I accepted all the gifts they gave me. But when they ask about things in the palace, I will answer them according to His Majesty's instructions!"
Cao Mao laughed, "Yes, they give gifts and of course they have to accept them."
"Just do it with confidence, I will definitely believe you."
"These people suddenly became enthusiastic because I kept you by my side as a confidant. They all want to get some information from you and understand my plan."
Cheng Ji then said: "Your Majesty, not only the ministers, but also some celebrities have been looking for me recently. They all ask me about the affairs of the imperial students."
Cao Mao waved his hand and said, "They are all the same. There is no difference between them. Just answer according to the instructions I teach you."
"only!!"
"You have to seize the opportunity. In half a year, you will go to Yongliang to make great achievements, so you can no longer accept gifts like this!"
Cheng Ji was overjoyed and hurriedly said yes again.
Cao Mao just walked out of the West Hall and out of the Tai Chi Hall. Gao Dan didn't dare to stop him.
Finally, Yang Hu was stopped in the palace.
Yang Hu was still patrolling in person at this moment. When he saw His Majesty coming, he hurriedly bowed to see you.
"Uncle, why are you so lucky? Couldn't you just leave this kind of thing to the soldiers?"
"How dare you neglect to protect the palace?"
Cao Mao looked at Zhang Hua, and Zhang Hua led the people to stand around, not allowing others to get close.
Cao Mao then whispered to Yang Hu: "Uncle, I heard that the Shangshutai has begun discussions to remove you from your official title. I want Dianjun Colonel Yang Xiao to replace you as the guard general."
"Yang Xiao?"
Cao Mao sneered and said, "He is the Hongnong Yang family, the son of Yang Xiu."
"This person's reputation is not good. If we want to use him now, the ministers have other ideas."
Yang Hu frowned, "What if the Chancellor issued an order?"
"You don't have to comply."
"Anyway, their intention to deal with me has been revealed, and I am not afraid of going against them. The imperial army in the palace must be in the hands of our own people. How can we let them out?"
"If someone reads the edict, you can arrest him and come to see me. I will issue an edict in person and tell him to go back."
"You have to be more careful in the future to avoid being assassinated. If these people cannot remove you, they might do it behind your back. Beware of them using methods like assassination."
Cao Mao spoke seriously. Yang Hu had probably thought of these things a long time ago. His expression was as usual and he just nodded.
"However, you don't have to be afraid. There is still a relationship between my father-in-law and they don't dare to act rashly."
"Situ Gaorou, you are a veteran of three dynasties! How dare you deceive the emperor and commit a crime?!"
"You are the leader of all ministers, how dare you be disloyal?!"
More than thirty people gathered in front of Gao Rou's residence and were cursing loudly.
These people were not too old, probably about the same age as Zhang Hua, but they were very excited at the moment, confronting the soldiers in front of Gao Rou's door, and started to curse angrily.
Gao Rou was sitting in the house, listening to the abuse coming from outside, her face getting darker and darker.
"The evil words are misleading the people! The evil words are misleading the people!"
The housekeeper couldn't bear it any longer.
"Situ Gong, capture them all and throw them to Ting Wei!"
"You are a noble Situ, how can you be insulted by these villains?!"
Gao Rou glared at him, "Do you think I am a Sima Shi? Just because the scholars said a few words, you are going to arrest them all and execute them?"
"The scholars dared to gather in front of my mansion and curse. Doesn't it just mean that today's benevolent government is different from what it was when Sima Shi was in charge?"
"I am the happiest when they dare to insult them like this. Why would I want to catch them?"
Gao Rou said it nicely, but looking at his face, there was no hint of happiness at all.
Soon, many carriages appeared outside. Some people jumped off the carriages and cursed at the scholars. These were their elders, and the scholars immediately dispersed.
Gao Rou's eyes became even colder.
Unexpectedly, one day, I would fall to this level and be insulted and teased by the scholars.
The two brothers from the Lu family couldn't make such a big noise.
Those articles were not written by them, and there must be more people involved behind them.
People like Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Shan Tao, and Zhong Hui! ! !
I will never spare you! !
no way! !
