A grand celebration banquet was held in the temple.
Although the protagonist did not come, it did not affect the emperor's enthusiasm at all.
Deng Ai may have really wanted to rectify the Yongliang army in time and do more practical things to repay the emperor's appreciation. However, in this matter, what he did was not very appropriate.
As a general who leads an army on an expedition, among other things, he will not come back after the battle. If the emperor were serious about it, then this would be useless.
That is to say, Cao Mao knew Deng Ai's character and had no doubts about him.
Cao Mao couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about his great sages.
The young and cautious Zhong Hui, Deng Ai who works hard from time to time, and Pei Xiu who races with the cripple
Lots of talent! There are so many talents!
With these people here, why worry about the demise of the Wei Dynasty?
At the celebration banquet, Cao Mao mainly talked with Chen Tai.
Chen Tai is a great talent that Cao Mao values very much. He is Cao Mao's choice for minister Pushe, and even the minister in the near future.
He comes from a top-notch wealthy family, has a reputation, is decisive, courageous, and sensible, and has no obvious shortcomings in any aspect.
Age, merit, qualifications, and talent are all up to standard.
Cao Mao was very polite to him, and his words were full of respect.
Chen Tai probably didn't expect that the emperor would value him so much, and he seemed quite flattered.
Cao Mao asked Chen Tai to sit next to him and asked him about the battle.
When the banquet reached its climax, Cao Mao read out many rewards to Chen Tai.
Cao Mao immediately announced many rewards to Chen Tai and others.
This time, because of their great military exploits, there were dozens of people who were granted the title of marquis, and there were also a lot of people who were promoted to nobility.
Cao Mao did not forget the previous agreement with the ministers. He did not appoint him directly, but first asked the ministers for their opinions.
But how can the ministers dare to have an opinion now?
These rewards were jointly signed by them themselves.
Many generals attending the banquet seemed particularly excited. Wen Yang even performed a sword dance on the spot. He also wanted to compete with Sima Jun, but Sima Jun declined.
Looking at the lively banquet, Cao Mao said to Chen Tai in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, I still need a servant in my office."
"I wonder if Mr. Chen would like to stay in Luoyang?"
Chen Tai was actually qualified to participate in government affairs in the temple very early. He left the temple in a self-exile manner, not wanting to participate in those fights and continue to tarnish his reputation.
Later, Sima Yi and Sima Shi were sent away. Chen Tai felt that Sima Zhao was quite honest, so he returned to the temple and served as an official.
As a result, Sima Zhao gave him a big job of killing the emperor.
Chen Tai was sent away in one wave and died of vomiting blood.
I don’t know if he regretted returning to the temple before he died.
Anyway, Chen Tai is still very tempted at this moment.
Local officials, even if they become governors, are only in charge of a state, but in Shangshutai, they are responsible for governing the world, especially Pushe.
When Shangshu Ling is invisible, he is equivalent to half a prime minister.
Chen Tai hesitated to speak.
Cao Mao said thoughtfully: "You don't have to answer in a hurry. We can discuss this matter in private later."
"His Majesty."
Zhong Hui suddenly appeared next to Cao Mao, and Cao Mao looked at him, "Shi Ji?"
Zhong Hui glanced at Chen Tai and then said: "I heard that a king cannot govern the world by just giving kindness. The right way is to give kindness and power together."
"Although General Deng and Governor Chen made great achievements this time, Deng Ai did not obey the edict and did not return to Luoyang after the battle. He secretly handed over the army to Chen Tai. As a local official, Chen Tai actually dared not to ask His Majesty , directly lead the army to Luoyang."
"Their behavior should be punished!"
Zhong Hui was a little unhappy.
However, Cao Mao smiled and reassured: "Today is a celebration banquet. Shi Ji just said that we should give both kindness and power. Since it is a celebration banquet, let's reward first and let's talk about punishment after the rewards are over!"
Zhong Hui glanced at Chen Tai again and then returned to his seat. He grabbed Cheng Wu and started talking to him.
Chen Tai sighed and said, "Zhong Shiji is right. I have made mistakes. How can I dare to hold such a position as a minister?"
Cao Mao disagreed, "How can there be people in the world who don't make mistakes? Those who can recognize their own shortcomings are the real wise men."
While the two continued to talk, Zhong Hui attracted the attention of many ministers.
"No, I heard that it was difficult for Yongliang's army to win against the rebels of Shu. Why were you able to defeat them with a small army?"
Zhong Hui asked in a loud voice.
Cheng Kuo replied unnaturally: "This is because His Majesty's kindness exceeds everyone else, and the soldiers' determination to repay Your Majesty also exceeds everyone else."
All the ministers agreed.
Cao Mao laughed, seeing that it was Zhong Hui who taught him.
However, how could Zhong Hui volunteer to be a compliment?
Zhong Hui still shook his head, "I heard that the traitors in Shu oppressed the people and used the stolen money to build strong armor and sharp swords. They cannot be defeated so easily."
"Apart from His Majesty's kindness, are there any other reasons for the soldiers' determination to serve?"
Cheng Kuo immediately said: "We also have a great sage to help."
"Shu's catapult can only throw dozens of steps, but our catapult can only throw a hundred steps!"
"Shu's strong crossbow can fire three arrows in a row and break it, but our strong crossbow can fire ten arrows in a row without any damage!"
"Shu is naturally no match for us."
Cheng Kuo finally said it.
These words immediately aroused speculation among the ministers.

Are our weapons so advanced?
Zhong Hui laughed loudly, "Then I know. The wise man who helped our army win was not Ma Gong who made the troublemaker and converted the repeating crossbow?"
Cheng Kuan was shocked, "How did you know?"
"Ma Gong is famous all over the world, who doesn't know it?"
Hearing this, the officials had different expressions, and Cao Mao was stunned.
It turned out to be an advertisement!
By the way, weren’t you just complimenting me? Even when advertising, you have to be the main focus, right? ?
Zhong Hui stood up, looked at Cao Mao, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I believe that the reward should be given to Duke Ma in the incident."
"Although he did not go to the battlefield in this battle with Shu, the equipment he invented helped our army very well and made our army victorious. Doesn't he deserve any credit?"
The ministers looked at each other a few times, and some people thought this made sense.
Cao Mao couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of you."
Just a few days ago, Cao Mao told Zhong Hui about Ma Jun and asked him how he could reuse Ma Jun in an honest and fair manner.
Zhong Hui now gave the answer.
If you could be tolerant of others, be less literate, and be less selfish, you would be the perfect assistant to the government.
Cao Mao nodded, "What Zhong Qing said makes sense."
Zhong Hui laughed and said, "Since Your Majesty is hosting a celebration banquet, why not invite this person to come and join us at the banquet? It is also a good way to reward him for his contribution."
Cao Mao thought so and hurriedly ordered Zhang Hua to invite Ma Jun to come.
Zhong Hui's performance just now has attracted the attention of many people.
In fact, people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties did not hate tools that much. During the Later Han Dynasty, ministers often labeled craftsmen and inventors as traitors, saying that they used fun things to deceive the king, did not do their job properly, and wasted classics.
Of course, in that period, not only inventions, but poetry and the like were also looked down upon. As long as they were not about classics but just for fun, it didn't matter!
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, loving equipment was no longer the same as having fun. It could not be said that one had a high status, but it was not as popular as before.
Many children of wealthy families have this hobby, such as Du Yu.
Even taking powder has become a refined thing, drinking with pigs is considered open-minded and straightforward, let alone just playing with wood, this is simply too normal.
Only a few ministers seemed to realize what the emperor and Zhonghui wanted to do.
The ministers did not wait too long. Soon, Zhang Hua led the trembling Ma Jun here.
When Ma Jun saw the man sitting in the upper seat, his eyes were filled with annoyance.
Sure enough!
He really is the emperor! !
The ministers looked at the old man curiously, and Ma Jun quickly paid homage to the emperor.
The emperor smiled and said nothing, but Cheng Kuan stepped forward again and saluted the man.
"Ma Gong, it's because of you that we can achieve a great victory this time!"
"No, no, I don't dare!"
Cao Mao said: "Mr. Magong, during this battle, some soldiers talked about your merits and thought that although you did not participate in the battle, your skillful work made the soldiers stronger than the enemy."
"This great victory should be attributed to you."
"I deeply agree, so I asked you to come to this celebration banquet."
Cao Mao asked Ma Jun to sit among the heroes. Ma Jun knew that he could not escape, so he simply accepted the order. However, Ma Jun did not feel at ease sitting there. Rather than participating in the temple awards, he still preferred to make new works in the palace. tool.
Cao Mao then also had Ma Jun read out the reward.
Ma Jun was promoted and appointed again, which can be regarded as Cao Mao helping him take the initiative to make a name for himself.
After what happened today, it was impossible for Ma Jun to keep a low profile.
The dignified Zhong Shiji personally acted as a supporter to make him famous. Although he was only in the early stage and took over the spotlight later, it was still very useful.
The banquet became more lively, and several ministers took the initiative to come to Ma Jun's side and ask him for some advice.
Cao Mao took another sip of wine.
Feeling more comfortable.
I originally wanted to use the East Hall Banquet to make Ma Jun famous, but unexpectedly, I did it with this celebration banquet.
The war proved the effectiveness of Ma Jun's military inventions, so we can also find ways to prove his civilian inventions.
During this period, even if you want to promote technology, you probably won't encounter much resistance.
The wealthy families of the Later Han Dynasty were ashamed to talk about profit. If you told the ministers of the Later Han Dynasty that this thing could bring you wealth, they would draw their swords and chop you down.
If you tell the ministers of the Wei and Jin Dynasties that this thing can bring wealth but you have to be ashamed not to use it, then they will draw their swords and chop you.
Next, you can discuss your ideas with Ma Jun. You are responsible for thinking and Ma Jun is responsible for doing.
The two of us were killing each other in the invention world of Wei Dynasty.
"Oh, the palace should be very lively at the moment."
Guo Zhang sat in the prison with disheveled hair, still thinking about the beautiful scene outside.
For some reason, no minister has come to see me yet.
Could it be that they want to gain more fame for themselves so that they can become San Gong or something like that at once?
Yes, yes, if you want to do it, you have to do the three things!
Situ recorded the affairs of the minister.
Yes, that's how it should be.
Guo Zhang suddenly laughed again.
Xun Yu, who was outside the prison, felt his scalp numb when he saw this scene.
This guy has been locked up for a long time. Could it be that he got sick from being locked up? ?
