Chapter 221: Like a Fish in Water
Hearing Cao Chao's simple refusal, Zhong Hui's eyes did not show any dissatisfaction.
His eyes suddenly brightened, and he stared at Cao Chao's face.
The whole person fell into some kind of unspeakable excitement.
"Food and clothing are worry-free, young and old are supported, invincible outside, no trouble inside"
"Prosperous! This is the prosperous world! ”
"It's like never before! Big husband can also be!! ”
If Cao Chao is unwilling to join forces with the Sima family because of personal grievances, then Zhong Hui will definitely turn his face, not a saint king!
However, when Cao Chao talked about a more challenging goal, and even looked down on Sima Zhao's goal because of this, so he was unwilling to join forces with him, Zhong Hui only felt that the True Saint King was also!!
Zhong Hui has never been a player who is afraid of difficulty, the higher the difficulty, the more excited he is, after all, only by completing such a big thing, he can become a top talent who has no one in the past and no one in the future.
Cao Chao's ambition, this challenge is much more difficult than pacifying the family and unifying the world, and this is in line with Zhong Hui's idea.
Zhong Hui immediately changed his words and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to join forces!" ”
"Sima Zhao is strong and capable, and he doesn't have his brother's talent! Where is such a man worthy to join us in? There's the two of us here! That's enough! ”
Cao Chao looked at Zhong Hui seriously, "Shiji, are you willing to assist me to complete such a prosperous era?" ”
"The minister must do his best to assist Your Majesty!!"
The bell will bow again.
Cao Chao's decision to accept Zhonghui was not a temporary idea of Cao Chao, this is something that Cao Chao has been thinking about these days.
It is a very dangerous thing to use the bell, it is like driving the tiger to open the way ahead, once there is no way forward ahead, or the strength is weak and cannot hold the rope, the tiger will immediately retaliate.
However, Cao Chao really needs such a tiger now.
This is a strong, ferocious, and unintimidated tiger!
Cao Chao picked up Zhong Hui again, and this time, a smile finally appeared on his face.
"Shi Ji, my next thought is to release the clan."
"Clan?"
Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Yes, the clans in various places have been oppressed for a long time, if Your Majesty can change their predicament, even if things don't work out, as long as it is rumored that Your Majesty has this mind, these clans will be dominated by you." ”
"Originally, those old ministers of the clan who assisted the king have not died, you can call them over and let them confront Sima Fu, Gao Rou and others."
"Then gradually ban the imprisonment of the princes, and let them compete with the great clans for power locally."
"You can also promote some intelligent clans to enter temples and places as officials."
Zhong Hui said quickly, he raised his head suddenly, and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to handle such a thing, you must have a very capable Zongzheng. ”
"From the gradual contact with the imprisonment to the final reuse of the princes, this will encounter great pressure, and it is not something that ordinary people can do."
Cao Chao nodded, and said helplessly: "I think so too, but I really can't find a suitable candidate at the moment." ”
"Someone recommended King Pengcheng."
"King Pengcheng is enough to do it, but he can't do it."
Zhong Hui looked around, and then pointed at Wei Shu, "Your Majesty can send this person to the guard to serve as the bus Sima now." ”
Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, and said Zongzheng, why did he get involved with Wei Wei again?
Zhong Hui said again: "I think this person is clumsy on the outside and beautiful on the inside, cautious and wise, and can be entrusted with a big responsibility, but he is not qualified enough, he can serve in the guard first, and he can be appointed as Zongzheng after two years." ”
Cao Chao nodded.
"As for now, there is a good candidate."
"Oh?"
"I'm willing to do it for you."
Zhong Hui said seriously: "The minister is Zongzheng, solve this matter for Your Majesty, if it doesn't work, you should repay Your Majesty with death!" ”
"Oh, why do you say that?! How can it not be done? ”
Cao Chao hurriedly helped him up.
He really didn't think about Zhong Hui before, speaking of which, although Zhong Hui's age is very young, but everyone doesn't care about this, and although the credit is a little worse, but this Zongzheng is not too common or anything, it is a thankless thing, and the ministers will not resist so much.
And Zhong Hui's character, well, is really appropriate to do this.
Cao Chao didn't even have to bother too much.
"Okay, that's it!"
The two of them immediately talked about it, Zhong Hui was a little happy, his face was full of smiles, and he hurriedly came closer.
"General"
Zhong Hui hurriedly changed his words, "Your Majesty, the position of this great general also has to be considered earlier. ”
Since Sima Shi was seriously ill, Zhong Hui had not been so happy for a long time, Sima Zhao was not very willing to listen to him, and he had to coax and deceive those stupid things if he wanted to be obedient, where was it like now, as soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor immediately agreed.
This made him feel like he had returned to Sima Shi's side, and he almost called the emperor a general.
Of course, Cao Chao didn't care about this, he asked with a smile: "Who does Shi Ji think?" Is it still Sima Zhao? ”
"He? If he doesn't have a father and brother, he can be a Jiuqing and it will be the end, what virtue does he have, and he is also worthy of being a general? ”
Zhong Hui's face was full of disdain.
He asked, "Has Your Majesty ever thought of letting Biqiu Jian come to Luoyang as a general?" ”
Cao Chao narrowed his eyes, as if he had found the right way to use Zhonghui, he nodded, "Yes, Shi Ji doesn't think it's inappropriate?" ”
Zhong Hui laughed, and the smug in his eyes almost overflowed.
"Your Majesty, do you know why the Sima family's plan failed?"
"Because it's not rooted?"
"What Your Majesty said also has some truth, in fact, it is because the rest of the ministers look down on them, everyone is a minister in the same court, why can you become a king?"
"And the same is true of Biqiu Jian, although Biqiu Jian can fight well, but his prestige cannot reach the point where he can deter the world, Hu Zun, Wang Chang, Zhuge Dan, Chen Ben will not say much, can the general of the chariot cavalry obey him?"
"Once Biqiu Jian enters the temple, the generals in that place may have the idea of rebellion, no matter how strong Biqiu Jian is, he is not the opponent of these people, not to mention anything else, Zhuge will definitely rebel, he has never been convinced by Biqiu Jian."
"In the same way, no matter how much Your Majesty summons the foreign general to be the general, it will cause the rest of the people to be dissatisfied."
"Therefore, you can't call Biqiu Jian."
Cao Chao made a look of sudden realization, "I see." ”
In fact, Cao Chao knows these things very well in his heart, but at this moment, Cao Chao can only not know.
He knew how to use the bell, he had to give him a chance to show his talents, let him have a chance to pretend, he couldn't be too stupid, but he couldn't steal his limelight.
Cao Chao became more and more proficient, and asked again whether the rest of the people were qualified, and sure enough, they were all refuted by Zhong Hui one by one.
Cao Chao hesitated, "Then what should I do?" ”
"Your Majesty, this position of general is quite a bait, and the generals of the world want to get it, so Your Majesty doesn't have to rush to canonize this position, and stay first."
"The generals everywhere know that after the death of the great general, they will definitely not be like this again."
"Actually, the general's strategy is to make a quick move, taking advantage of the difference in information between the two sides, and directly pushing Sima Zhao to the position of the general."
"Once the generals know the real situation, they don't dare to do this kind of thing anymore."
"Of course, they won't admit it, after all, so many big clans died."
Zhong Hui said with a smile: "You can canonize Sima Zhao as General Wei, and let him command the generals everywhere as General Wei, this is also to appease him first and prepare for taking over the entire Sima family in the future." ”
"The position of the general will be vacated first, Your Majesty only needs to send people to various places, let them know the situation of the temple, and then make a decision to choose the right person to be promoted to the general, and they will help you complete the rest."
"The position of the great general can at least allow these people to fight for His Majesty for a few years."
Cao Chao nodded and accepted Zhong Hui's proposal again.
"What about Shang Shuling's candidates? Lu Yu is definitely not good, should Sima Fu be in charge? ”
Zhong Hui smiled disdainfully, "Sima Fu is cowardly, has no enterprising ambition, and is not worthy of entrusting him with big things, besides, this person will definitely collude with the family in the future, and he will definitely not get close to His Majesty." ”
"This is something arranged by the great general, and no one can shake him."
"Who's going to do that?"
"Zheng Chong."
"Huh??"
Cao Chao was stunned, this time it was no longer a disguise, Cao Chao really didn't think about this answer.
Zhong Hui said seriously: "There are three of the most famous old ministers in the temple, Gao Rou, Sima Fu, and Zheng Chong. ”
"Your Majesty can't use Sima Fu now, you can't use Gao Rou, so naturally you have to use Zheng Chong."
Cao Chao remembered this invisible man at this time.
To say that this person can live in seclusion in the temple, the ability is really good, if it weren't for Zhong Hui, Cao Chao would have almost forgotten that there is a bigwig-level figure in the temple.
Zhong Hui continued: "This person was born poor, he is a real poor family, he has nothing to do with many big clans, all his thoughts are on the scriptures, his private morality is excellent, he has been an official for so many years, he has never offended anyone, he has worked in Shangshutai for many years, so he will not know anything about the government and politics. ”
"The ministers can accept him, and he is not harmful to His Majesty."
"His negative attitude can also prevent the ministers from using Shang Shutai to complete all their plans too quickly."
Zhong Hui spoke faster and faster, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Gao Rou, an old thief, still can't move at the moment, we have to leave him to balance the ministers, after all, the integration of the three is something we don't want to see."
"And the province of the door should use Huabiao and Zheng Xiaotong to check and balance the ministers."
"When the general was still there, the servant was not an important position, but now that the general is gone, the importance of the province will immediately increase."
"This is the power around Your Majesty, and it must be in Your Majesty's own hands."
Zhong Hui analyzed the situation in front of Cao Chao and quickly made arrangements.
Cao Chao looked at Zhong Hui in front of him again.
It's a wonderful feeling of not having to use your own brain!!
