"It's really Emperor Wu of Wei who is reborn!"
In his own house, Shi Bao once again gave his evaluation of the emperor.
Several friends who came to see him felt scared at the moment.
Since the Autumn Period, the emperor's prestige seemed to have increased again, and the officials no longer dared to evaluate the emperor in public.
Only Shi Bao dared to act as usual.
But Shi Bao continued to sigh: "The great power of Wei will be revived by His Majesty's hands."
During these days, Shi Bao was living a leisurely life. This minister, who had certain attainments in politics and military affairs, failed to be reused by the emperor and was directly abandoned in the palace.
Shi Bao socialized with his friends as before and lived a leisurely life.
Shi Bao had never been an irritable person. Even if he lost his official position, he didn't feel there was anything to blame. He just felt that he had failed to govern Qingzhou well before and had let His Majesty down.
Just as Shi Bao and his friends continued to advocate the emperor, several soldiers broke into the room rudely.
Xia Houhe immediately frowned, "What do you want to do?!"
Seeing Taichang, these soldiers were not afraid at all. The leader was Cheng Ji. He looked at Shi Bao coldly and said, "General, your Majesty invites you."
Shi Bao hurriedly stood up and looked at his friends, "Since His Majesty has summoned you, you should go there early without delay. You can go back to your house first. I will go to visit you after I finish my work!"
Everyone was relieved, Shi Bao got into the car and drove all the way towards the palace.
Shi Bao was not very scared. During these days, he had done nothing bad and never said anything bad about His Majesty. He was always praising His Majesty everywhere, so he felt at ease.
Shi Bao is a very smart person who always behaves differently at different times.
Apart from his greed for money and lust, he is still very powerful in other aspects.
He knows His Majesty's vision, and he feels that the Emperor will definitely use his own. The reason why the Emperor is not close to him is just because his behavior in Qingzhou displeased His Majesty. But compared to those who are not doing their jobs properly, His Majesty should still like him. This kind of minister with some talents.
Shi Bao pondered in his heart and came all the way to the palace.
When he met Cao Mao in Tai Chi Hall, Cao Mao had a faint smile on his face.
"Shi Gong, come on, sit down."
Cao Mao's attitude was relatively peaceful. Shi Bao quickly thanked him and sat next to him.
"I heard that Mr. Shi is very leisurely these days, visiting friends everywhere. Mr. Shi has friends all over the world. I really envy him."
"Your Majesty, I just haven't seen them for many years."
"No need to say more, I understand."
Cao Mao put the tea on the table and asked, "Do you know why I would rather reuse Hu Fen than you?"
Shi Bao hurriedly said: "Because it is not good for me to monitor Qingzhou."
"No, no, monitoring Qingzhou is what the governor should do. Although it has something to do with you, it doesn't have much to do with it."
"That's because my moral conduct is lacking."
Cao Mao then clapped his hands and said, "You are right, you know? In fact, I can tolerate capable ministers with flaws. There are no perfect people in the world. As long as they are individuals, they must have flaws and faults."
"But greed for money and accepting bribes is different from virtue. This is the reason why the officials of the Wei Dynasty collapsed. Just because of your problem, even if you have talents, I dare not use you."
Shi Bao hurriedly said: "I must correct myself."
Cao Mao shook his head, "It's okay. I didn't call you here this time to discuss your virtues with you. Something happened in Qingzhou and I wanted to talk to you about it."
"That Zang Ai from Qingzhou, when the temple wanted to appoint him as the county guard, you seemed to have contributed a lot?"
Hearing these words, Shi Bao secretly thought it was not good.
Zang Ai was able to serve as an official in Qingzhou. Shi Bao really contributed, and the reason for his efforts was very simple. Zang Ai was very good at managing things. He knew how to make money and how to distribute wealth.
He plunders and operates among the people, and can accumulate a lot of wealth. What is rare and valuable is that this person only leaves a little money for himself, and the rest of the wealth is used up and down. Such a noble official, let him His superiors and subordinates all admired him very much.
Zang Gong can be said to be incorruptible. He never added any real estate, carriages, or clothes to his own. He did not have much pursuit of women. Almost all of his income from private life was given to others. Such a noble official worked hard for him. Not only Shi Bao, but all officials in Qingzhou have also contributed.
Even when they learned that the emperor intended to remove Sun Yu, the governor of Qingzhou, the first person proposed by the ministers to take over was Zang Ai. It can be seen that this man was also very virtuous in the hearts of the temple ministers, and the two parties must have had contacts.
Shi Bao knew about Zang Ai and was extremely worried at the moment. Could it be that this person's bribery was discovered?
How can this be done?
He made a decision immediately, "Your Majesty, when he bribed with money and beautiful women, I accepted his things, so I helped him, please punish him."
Shi Bao chose to confess.
The emperor would not call himself here for no reason. Only sincerity in asking himself these questions might change His Majesty's mind.
Cao Mao was also surprised at this moment.

This guy is real.
During the week, this person was very close to me and his attitude was extremely respectful. I didn't know whether to call him smart or cunning.
Cao Mao said again: "Don't worry too much. I called you in and asked about these things because Zang Ai committed some crimes."
"Ah? I wonder what big mistake this person has made?"
"He rebelled."
At this moment, Shi Bao felt that his legs were weak. Cao Mao saw him trembling all over. He took a deep breath and then cursed angrily: "This thief! His clan must be punished! How dare you do this?! "
Shi Bao cursed at this man.
Finally, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am greedy and have benefited from this person. I just acted for him, but I really don't know about this rebellion."
"Shi Gong, you see, this is what I told you. Bribery and accepting bribes are the root cause of the collapse of officials. A shameless person like him can be in a high position. If I didn't send someone to monitor him, would he? Can you go all the way to become the governor? What about next? Become the Third Duke?!"
Cao Mao was furious.
Of course, the money-grubbing Sangong will not be without him in the future.
Shi Bao was trembling at this moment and did not dare to defend himself.
Cao Mao gritted his teeth, "Just a few days ago, nearly ten ministers came forward to persuade me to make Zang Ai the governor!"
"Do all the officials in the court agree with his ideas so much?! Do they all think that my position is unfair?!"
"Traitors and traitors must be punished!"
At this moment, Shi Bao really scolded Zang Ai's ancestors for several generations.
Dog, why are you so crazy if I don't lead you to be such a deceiver?
"Master Shi, do you now know the dangers of giving and receiving bribes?"
"Look, here are the consequences."
"In the world of Wei, I don't know how many people are like that guy."
Cao Mao said seriously: "General Zhengdong was already ill and old, and now he has done something like this again? Can you handle him? How angry must he be now?!"
Xuzhou, Xiapi.
"Hahaha~~~~"
Hu Zun threw his head back and laughed until he burst into tears. He waved the paper in his hand and showed it to the surrounding generals.
"Come, come and see, this Zang Ai actually wrote to me, asking me to make the King of Qi the emperor and join him in the rebellion! He also said that Sun Yu, the governor of Qingzhou, had agreed to his promise, and the governors from all over the country would join forces to raise troops. !”
"This is a list of rebels sent to me at once!"
Seeing this letter, the rough guys around Hu Zun couldn't help laughing loudly.
The newly arrived Xuzhou governor Hu Wei stood aside. Although they both had the surname Hu, he had nothing to do with Hu Zun.
Hu Wei was born in Shouchun. His father, Hu Zhi, was an important minister of Cao Wei and a former general who conquered the east. Like Hu Zun, Hu Zhi was a world-famous and honest minister. Hu Wei was influenced by his father since he was a child, and he was also upright and honest.
Once, the governor under Hu Zhi wanted to spend money to bribe Hu Wei. Hu Wei told his father about this, and Hu Zhi gave the governor a hundred sticks and was dismissed from his official position.
Another time, Hu Wei went from Luoyang to Jingzhou to visit his father. His family was poor and had no carriage or servants, so he rode a donkey and cooked all the way. When he arrived in Jingzhou and saw his father, Hu Zhi gave his son a piece of cloth. I was very surprised and asked, "Where did such expensive cloth come from?"
Hu Zhi told him that it was the surplus from his salary, and it should be used as dry food for you to go home.
After Hu Wei became an official, he always took it as his mission to educate the local area. He advised Sima Yan many times in history. He felt that Sima Yan was too lax, did not pursue ministers who had committed crimes, and could not distinguish rewards and punishments. .
Cao Mao also valued his ability and conduct, and just made him the governor of Xuzhou.
Hu Wei's character was very suitable for Hu Zun. Although they had only met for a few days, Hu Zun was very satisfied with the new governor.
Hu Wei said: "General, this prefect's rebellion is definitely not something to laugh about."
Hu Zun waved his hand, "What do you know? Just these governors, even if the governor is added, which one of them knows how to fight? I have received your majesty's kindness but failed to repay it. Isn't now the best opportunity?!"
"I originally wanted to rectify Qing Xu, but I was worried that there was no chance. This person rebelled. It is the right time. Within ten days, as long as ten days, I can cut off this person's head and send it to Luoyang!!"
Hu Zun's face instantly became serious. At this moment, even Hu Wei did not dare to refute him anymore.
The generals even put away their smiles and solemnly waited for his orders.
"Send troops immediately. According to this list, we will catch all the thieves in one fell swoop. If anyone dares to let a birdman escape, I will drag him to death on the road!!!"
"only!!!"
"Whoever kills the general first, I will also go up to the table to ask for a reward from Your Majesty. This is a gift from God for your military merits! Let's go!!"
"only!!!"
