"Hahaha, you're trying to win over your father??"

Cao Chao couldn't help but laugh.

Sima Yan stiffened his face and didn't say a word.

"Why don't you go and woo your uncle?"

Cao Chao shook his head and said with a smile: "How can this method of winning over celebrities be used on your father's body?" ”

"Don't mention this matter, why does Your Majesty suddenly want to hold a banquet? Didn't you say that you would start holding a banquet next year? ”

Sima Yan hurriedly changed the topic.

"Originally, I wanted to wait until next year, but in recent days, I have been very bored, so I want to gather the sages and set up a banquet to have fun."

Sima Yan nodded, staying at home all day, he was also a little bored, of course it was good to be able to hold a banquet, he asked again: "But I heard that Your Majesty has invited a lot of ministers, why is this?" They are in the East Hall, how can we have fun? ”

Cao Chao said seriously: "An Shi, since we want to turn the banquet of the East Hall into a banquet that everyone in the world yearns for, we must focus on the celebrity effect, and there must be ministers of the temple in the banquet. ”

"Besides, don't worry about them ruining the atmosphere, as long as they show their faces, in fact, as far as today's temple is concerned, everything is complicated, and these people may not be able to come, even Zhong Jun, he may not be able to go"

"Hahaha~~ Your Majesty thinks so, but it's wrong!"

I only heard laughter from outside the door, and I saw Zhong Hui swaggering into the east hall, and the armor at the door didn't even say a word.

Sima Yan shook his head, a little helpless at Zhong Hui's behavior.

Cao Chao looked at Zhong Hui, he didn't have the enthusiasm he used to have, and his eyes were very calm.

Zhong Hui didn't care about this, saluted Cao Chao, and sat beside him.

"Your Majesty has a banquet, how dare the minister not come?"

Cao Chao sneered, "A few days ago, Zhong Jun opened his mouth to slander, and his behavior was the same as Jia Chong's, which made me reacquaint myself with you, why are you so enthusiastic when you come here today?" But what kind of villain methods are you going to do? ”

Sima Yan was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhong was reprimanded by Cao Chao in person, and there was no anger on his face.

He replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister has a different opinion on this matter. ”

"Oh?"

"I want to hear about it."

"Your Majesty is the dragon and phoenix among people, why do you mess with unbearable people? On that day, if the minister did not go, inform her in advance, and when the general told her about the marriage, I was afraid that she would refuse on the spot, and if she had a fight with the general, did Your Majesty think she would be the general's opponent? In the end, it will be a fiasco, and His Majesty will be implicated. ”

"For the sake of His Majesty, the minister did not hesitate to sacrifice his reputation and did something that a minister should not do, but, you see, after this incident, didn't she have self-knowledge? At least it won't bother Your Majesty again, don't you think? ”

"According to you, I should thank you?"

"Hahaha, how can there be a reason in the world for kings to thank their ministers? This is what a minister should do! ”

Zhong Hui said solemnly.

Cao Chao almost scolded.

Of course, he also knows more about Zhonghui, this person must be a little sick.

Zhong Hui obviously has his own way of understanding this world, in his personal cognition, he is a virtuous minister who assists the Holy Lord and helps the world, and everything he does is in line with morality, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

He often said "Mandate of Heaven" to Cao Chao, who thought it was an excuse to usurp the throne, and Zhong Hui probably really thought that he was carrying out the Mandate of Heaven.

He is actually somewhat similar to Guo Zhi, both of them live in their own world, but the difference is that his world may be more distorted.

Even if this person is placed in the crazy Wei Jin, he can be regarded as a very maverick, not to mention anything else, just say that his behavior of not marrying a wife is explosive at the moment.

In an era of the rise of the gate lord clan, it is really incomprehensible not to marry a wife and not have children.

Sima Yan looked at Cao Chao and then at Zhong Hui.

He couldn't understand what the two were talking about.

Listening to Zhong Hui's words, he hesitated a little, but still asked softly, "Is Zhong Gongfu scattered?" ”

The smile on Zhong Hui's face suddenly froze, his face became gloomy, and Cao Chao chuckled, "An Shi! How can you ask like that?! ”

Sima Yan hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand Zhong Gong, I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious."

Zhong Hui's face darkened.

If it weren't for the big party coming up, I'm afraid he would have to get up and leave now.

Cao Chao looked at Sima Yan approvingly, master!

Since he fought with Zhong Hui, he has rarely taken advantage of his words, and An Shi opened his mouth like this is a critical hit, which almost made Zhong Hui break his defense!

Sure enough, he despised An Shi.

Cao Chao still underestimated Zhong Hui's enthusiasm for celebrities, he had so many things to deal with now, he was almost exhausted, and he didn't want to miss such an opportunity.

The celebrities began to arrive one by one, and the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest were the first to arrive.

The last banquet was very good, they were quite satisfied, and this time they were also the first to arrive, with Sima Yan and Zhong Hui, they were not worried about whether there would be problems if they got too close to the emperor.

For the first time, Cao Chao saw Ji Kang's appearance when he was awake.

He finally came awake today, and walked swaggering in front of everyone without support.

It's just too rare.

Ji Kang, who was in a sober state, did not have the wildness of drunkenness at all, he looked very serious, frowning, and was even more ruthless than Ruan Ji.

Everyone saluted to see Cao Chao, and a smile finally appeared on Zhong Hui's face.

Sima Yan was as enthusiastic as ever, and everyone's attitude towards him had also changed.

Sima Yan's reputation is much greater now than before, except for Ruan Ji and Ji Kang, who are still so indifferent, the rest of the people are smiling and saluting him.

Cao Chao looked at the eighth person among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest with some surprise.

He hadn't seen this man before, and he was probably here for the first time.

This person is tall, not like the rest of the celebrities who have been hollowed out by wine and scatter, and walks with a tigerish style, for some reason, this person has been staring at himself since he came in, frowning, and there is some anger in his eyes.

Another good dog of the Sima family?

Cao Chao didn't pay attention to him, and met everyone with a smile.

Everyone was still as polite as before, with some alienation in their politeness.

In the world, only Biqiu Jian, who has a heavy army, has clearly expressed his support for the emperor and can survive to this day, and the rest of the ministers have long been executed by the Zhu clan.

And the rest of these people naturally don't have the courage to fight hard with the Sima family to survive.

But Cao Chao will not despise them because of this, after all, although they chose to dodge, they did not choose to compromise.

"Mountain-kun!"

"Xiang Jun, are you okay?"

"Liu Jun! Before I get closer, I can smell the wine on you! ”

Cao Chao met them one by one, and in the end, his eyes fell on the newcomer.

Ji Kang opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this person is my friend, called Lu An, the word Zhongyi, a native of Dongping, so the second son of Jizhou Mu Lu Gong"

It turned out to be him!

Cao Chao knows this person, Lu An is friends with Ji Kang, Shantao, Xiang Xiu and others, and he is also a generation of celebrities, but he is a little different from the rest, this person has a strong personality, and often has the ambition to help the world, and has no negative thoughts of escaping the world, he is also a rare celebrity who opposes the rule of the Sima family.

This man is an ally.

Historically, this person's fate was very tragic, and he was killed by his friend Ji Kang.

His wife was very good-looking, and his brother Lu Xun coveted his sister-in-law's beauty and raped her, and Lu An was furious and prepared to sue his brother.

Because Ji Kang had a relationship with both brothers, he persuaded him not to publicize his family's ugliness and let him solve it in private, which led to Lu Xun's preemptive attack, but instead falsely accused Lu An of being unfilial, causing Lu An to be arrested by the government.

Ji Kang was very angry and came forward to testify for Lu An, and he was also taken down together.

The two of them had a lot of radical remarks before, all of them were against the rule of the Sima family, Sima Zhao grabbed their handle, and naturally he would not show mercy, plus Zhong would be rejected by Ji Kang, and he had a grudge in his heart and spoke up, causing both of them to be executed by Sima Zhao.

This incident caused a huge sensation, and 3,000 Tai students marched the streets to demand the release of Ji Kang and Lu An, which made Sima Zhao even more jealous and directly executed.

After his death, celebrities from all over the country spoke for him, and the wave of opposition was even greater, Sima Zhao hurriedly said: I have regretted it, but unfortunately, people are dead and can not do anything.

Cao Chao looked deeply at Lu An in front of him, well, he was wrong, he was not the dog of the Sima family, but why did he have such an attitude?

Lu An saluted, and then asked very unhappily: "Your Majesty, has there ever been a Ming monarch in the world who has set up a banquet to make the world prosperous?!" ”

Many celebrities immediately fell silent.

The bell will light up.

Sima Yan frowned.

If it weren't for the second week, Cao Chao would definitely think that this person wanted to take the opportunity to gain fame.

But knowing what he did in history, Cao Chao could vaguely see his thoughts, and this person reprimanded himself with a bit of hatred for iron and steel.

He didn't want to immerse himself in the useless banquet of celebrities and gentlemen, and he wanted to let himself rejuvenate the Wei family and govern the world

But the problem is, Sima Shi also has to give himself this opportunity!!

It's righteous and awe-inspiring.,Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, right??

Cao Chao asked rhetorically: "Lu Jun, have there ever been guests in the world who went to a banquet and insulted the lord's family?" ”

"Your Majesty, I don't have any other intentions, it's just that Your Majesty is still young, the country is not at peace, Your Majesty should take reading and studying as the first term, you shouldn't be immersed in banquets, obsessed with enjoyment, this is not the way of the Holy King."

Lu An said very sincerely.

Cao Chao finally knew why Sima Zhao wanted to kill him, you are too straight, why don't you just say that the Sima family controls the government and should practice martial arts to try to kill the thief? ?

Sure enough, the corners of Zhong Hui's eyes jumped, and several celebrities around him immediately lowered their heads.

Sima Yan was silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice again:

"Lu Jun, are you dissatisfied?"
