"His Majesty!"
The next day, Hu Zun came to see the emperor early.
Yesterday's banquet was for others to see, and the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not talk about other important matters.
Cao Mao directly pulled Hu Zun into the west hall. The others stayed outside, and Zhang Hua blocked the door.
This is the first time the two of them get along in private.
Cao Mao didn't say so many polite words this time. His attitude was casual, but he seemed more approachable. He asked someone to bring him his favorite tea, and then he had a long chat with Hu Zunxu.
At this moment, Hu Zun was looking at the emperor in front of him again. He looked a little hesitant.
"Your Majesty, I came from a frontier fortress. Although I am proficient in several military disciplines, my speech is inevitably vulgar and straightforward after decades in the army. I really cannot be a person like Zhuge Dan. If there is any disrespect, I hope your Majesty will not blame you. "
Hu Zun decided to give Cao Mao a vaccination first.
Hu Zun and Zhuge Dan are indeed two completely different types of people. Zhuge Dan has a good name and looks upright and upright at all times, which is in line with the definition of a Confucian general in the eyes of the officials. As for Hu Zun, he also In line with the ministers' definition of a frontier warrior.
Hu Zun knew his own character, and was afraid that he would be misunderstood by the emperor if he spoke too excitedly.
Cao Mao laughed and said immediately: "General, only words are spoken. I also made friends with heroes in Yuancheng. Speaking of which, when I arrived in the palace, I didn't dare to say a bad word. I love how straightforward General Hu is." man of!"
When Hu Zun heard Cao Mao's answer, he felt more confident.
Okay, since His Majesty has said so, I will tell you directly.
"Your Majesty, are you ready to pardon Cao Fang?"
As soon as Hu Zun opened his mouth, it was the most sensitive topic at the moment, a topic that even Zhang Hua did not dare to discuss easily, but Cao Mao nodded with a smile, "That's right."
"Why? As long as he is alive, he will be a hidden danger to His Majesty."
"many reasons."
"Leaving aside the clan, we also have to worry about the generals on horseback."
"General Chariot and Cavalry is loyal to Emperor Ming. If King Qi dies in my hands, he may not write a letter to scold me, but he will definitely feel guilty and uneasy in his heart."
“How can I embarrass those who follow me sincerely?”
Hu Zun couldn't say anything for a long time. He was really an emperor worthy of help.
So Hu Zun skipped this question and talked about the situation in Qingzhou.
"Your Majesty, Qingzhou has not suffered much disaster. In fact, the city walls have suffered damage, and the remaining residences and roads are almost unharmed."
"Those generals knew right from wrong and did not dare to make enemies of the heavenly soldiers, so they surrendered one after another!"
"Many officials in Qingzhou have all been arrested by me. There is no one who is not treason. Sun Yu has already killed those who are not treason."
Hu Zun spoke loudly, and suddenly his voice became softer.
"But the powerful families in Qingzhou have been severely damaged, and they have been almost wiped out by me."
Cao Mao's eyes lit up, "Oh? Sun Yu's rebels actually dare to rob these rich and powerful people?"
Hu Zun nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, these people would rather die than obey, so Sun Yu robbed their property, burned their land deeds, and killed their clansmen. However, your Majesty, don't worry, I have already arrested you." The traitors were arrested and they confessed to their actions."
"We have avenged them!"
As Hu Zun spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.
Cao Mao nodded, "He deserves to be killed."
"These wicked birds, I wish I could kick their heads like a cuju!"
Hu Zunshen thinks so!
Hu Zun said again: "Your Majesty, when the general asked me to take action in Xuzhou, I slaughtered the wealthy people in Xuzhou who usually gave me eye drops. I even wiped out the powerful people. What happened? , Xuzhou will have great governance this year!"
"This time, I have taken care of Qingzhou again. Now Qingzhou and Xuzhou are like the land that has just been plowed. As long as someone can cultivate it carefully, the harvest will be huge!"
Cao Mao suddenly looked at Hu Zun, and then he clapped his hands.
"Good general! You did what I wanted to do but couldn't order it to be done!!"
Cao Mao really didn't expect that Hu Zun could think of these things. He knew that Hu Zun, a big family in the frontier, had some conflicts with the big people in the Central Plains.
However, he did not expect that Hu Zun would dare to do such a thing.
Hu Zun was actually taking a risk. After all, he was just guessing the emperor's behavior and didn't know what the emperor was thinking. However, under Cao Mao's step-by-step guidance, he directly told what he had done. As expected, the emperor was Supported.
Hu Zun's face was full of smiles.
"General, I originally wanted to wait for you as a general, but now that the general has just passed away, and there are many of his cronies in the temple, this position is really dangerous, and I am afraid it will disrupt the current deployment."
"General Hu, I would like to make you a hussar general. During the holidays, I will make you the commander-in-chief, Qingxu."
"I wonder if the general can serve temporarily?"
After Cao Mao's words reached this point, Hu Zun naturally bowed to Cao Mao with tears of gratitude. He couldn't pretend to be Zhuge Dan's duplicity, otherwise he would have to refuse, but Hu Zun did not give in and accepted the order on the spot. .

If he refuses at this moment, it will mean that he looks down on the position of General Hussar. What's more, His Majesty gave him the title of General Hussar. With this big character, Hu Zun's status is higher than Guan Qiujian, and he is on an equal footing with Sima Zhao. .
Hu Zun's age, seniority and military merit were both greater than those of Guan Qiu Jian. What's more, he was already famous for putting down the Qingzhou rebellion within a month. It would not be appropriate for him to be ranked behind Guan Qiu Jian.
Hu Zun didn't have too many regrets about this appointment. He really wanted to be a general.
However, Hu Zun also knew that this position was not easy to get. Even if the emperor nodded, the ministers might not agree.
Moreover, the generals were established when the emperor was young and unable to govern the world. They were used to govern the world in place of the young emperor. Now that the emperors are already in charge, if you set up another general, wouldn't the temple be in chaos again? Yet?
But Hu Zun is quite confident in himself. He has already seen a lot of achievements waving towards him. If he can continue to make achievements, becoming a general will not be a dream.
Hu Zun immediately said: "Your Majesty, Qingxu's officials suffered heavy casualties. Hu Wei and Li Xi are already very busy. If the temple cannot send people to help them in time, I'm afraid there will be some problems with this year's autumn harvest."
Hu Zun said very seriously, and Cao Mao nodded slowly.
"What General Hu said makes sense, I will make good arrangements for this candidate."
"Ahem, actually, Your Majesty, I have already thought of some candidates, but I don't know if they are suitable."
Hu Zun suddenly took out a list of names from his sleeve and put it in Cao Mao's hand.
Cao Mao opened it in surprise, and immediately found a lot of familiar names, all of whom were local officials with outstanding political achievements and high moral standards.
Cao Mao suddenly laughed.
"Mr. Hu, it seems that you started picking people very early!"
"such a pity."
Cao Mao shook his head and suddenly took out another letter from his sleeve.
"Look, this is what General Zhenbei sent yesterday!"
Hu Zun hurriedly opened the letter, only to find that the contents of the letters were almost the same. They were all asking for people, complaining, and even wanted the same people.
Hu Zun read it in a hurry and became furious, "How can this guy still want me as an official from Xuzhou?!"
Cao Mao sat in the upper position with a smile. He didn't care at all about the behavior of the two governors. He was not afraid that the governors would interfere in local government affairs, but he was afraid that the governors would not interfere.
The local governors really can't scare them away from the local governors. Only the governors who have tens of thousands of elites in their hands and can kill heads of big clans can make them shut up.
Hu Zun and Yang Hu were very concerned about local governance and carefully checked the officials in various places, which made Cao Mao very satisfied.
Zhang Hua stood at the door, looking at Hu Zun who was pestering the emperor about the prefect, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
These two people are like real monarchs and ministers.
Sima Yi is cunning, Sima Shi is ruthless, and Sima Zhao is reckless. Under their command, it is difficult to feel this kind of mutual trust between the king and his ministers.
Zhang Hua was just thinking when he suddenly heard the rapid and heavy footsteps.
Zhang Hua didn't even need to look back to know who was coming.
There was only one person in the entire palace who dared to rush at such a pace.
Zhang Hua turned around.
That's right, it's Zhong Shiji.
Zhong Hui's face looked very ugly, and he was holding something in his hand that looked like a letter.
"Your Majesty, may I be in the hall?"
"Yes, but His Majesty is discussing important matters with General Hu and is not allowed to enter."
Zhang Hua was blocking the door, but Zhong Hui had no intention of forcing his way in. When he heard that the person inside was Hu Zun, Zhong Hui had no interest in getting in.
Zhong Hui still prefers elegant generals like Zhuge Dan and Jiang Wei, but he doesn't like generals who are too vulgar.
For example, Hu Zun, and Deng Ai.
Of course, it may also have something to do with their appearance.
When Hu Zun came out of here, he met Zhong Hui head-on. Hu Zun was quite curious about Zhong Hui. He looked him up and down and then said, "It's not easy for your brother to raise you up. Don't let him down." His kindness!”
Hearing these words, Zhong Hui's face became even uglier.
Hu Zun left here in a swaggering manner.
"His Majesty!!"
Zhong Hui walked into the hall in a hurry. He put the list in his hand directly into Cao Mao's hand, "Why do you want my brother to be responsible for my affairs?!"
"He has always been prejudiced against me and has always been sabotaging my major events. This time it is even more so. You should not let him know about this and you should not let him leave the mansion!!"
Zhong Hui was furious at this moment. He was halfway through his affairs when his brother suddenly jumped out and ruined his affairs.
If someone else had done this, Zhong Hui would have already started planning to kill his clan.
It's a pity that this is his brother.
