"General"

Xin Chang was smiling all over his face, and he was standing behind Sima Zhao at the moment.

Sima Zhao was dressed in very simple clothes, and he lived in front of his brother's grave, and he had not interacted with his subordinates for some time.

When Xin Chang appeared here, he didn't even look at the other party.

"The Queen Mother has an edict, please come and serve as General Wei to quell the rebellions in various places."

Xin Chang stiffened his head and got down to business.

Since the Empress Dowager's order, the ministers have made a decision, and they also know that this matter cannot be delayed.

The retainers need someone to make decisions.

Although Zheng Chong was not very reluctant, he still became the one who made the decision now.

The ministers all felt that Zheng Chong could take this position.

His reputation and qualifications are up to standard, and the most important thing is that this person has always been indisputable, and his own clan power is extremely weak, so it cannot be said that he is weak, he has no clan at all.

Zheng Chong didn't have a son, so he found a tutor from a relative who could read for himself.

But he never cared about this son, nor did he cultivate it, everything went naturally, Zheng Chong, the step-son, is not young now, and he has been mixed for decades, but he still serves as a county official in the local area, and he is not even mixed with the Taishou.

This can't be regarded as a family at all, and the Lu family that has been destroyed is bigger than them.

Zheng Chong will not seize too many interests, he is still persuasive and easy to speak, and the ministers do not oppose him to the throne.

After the ministers discussed, they immediately ordered Wei Wei Xin Chang to go to Sima Zhao with the Empress Dowager's edict.

This is because Xin Chang has a good relationship with Sima Zhao, and the Xin family has a wide network in the Chinese army.

Sima Zhao didn't answer at the moment, but he already understood what his brother had explained at that time.

Sima Zhao and the people under his command were unaware of these things that Sima Shi had done.

Realizing that this was his brother's last arrangement, Sima Zhao's heart became even more bitter.

He quickly put away the sadness in his heart, and now that the family needs him to support, without the protection of his father and brother, he has no time to have any other emotions.

He said solemnly: "I have resigned and returned home, and the affairs in the temple naturally still have to be solved by the ministers." ”

"You can go back and tell the Queen Mother, thank you for the Queen Mother's love, but this edict, please forgive me for not accepting it, I want to do my filial piety for my father and brother, even the Queen Mother, I can't stop this matter."

Xin Yi was speechless.

The world is big, and filial piety is the greatest.

This thing is really not easy to handle, Xin Yi cleared his throat and continued: "General, Xuan Wengong and the Great General have made great contributions to Sheji, how can you watch the traitors come and destroy all this?" ”

Sima Zhao didn't agree because his brother had told him to refuse several times.

Since the elder brother said that he would make himself a general, he must be a general, and if he refuses a few more times, he may be able to force the ministers to bow their heads?

Just as Sima Zhao was thinking, a person hurriedly came here.

Xin Yi glanced at the man and recognized his identity.

It seems to be the descendant of the Du family.

Du Yu saw that Xin Yi had not left, he breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly walked to Sima Zhao's side, and said in a low voice: "General, rebellions are raging everywhere, please don't refuse the edict of the temple, for the sake of the world."

Sima Zhao looked at him with some surprise, and stopped talking.

Xin Yi was overjoyed, he realized something, and hurriedly saluted and said, "I am waiting for the general's reply outside the house!" ”

Xin Yi hurriedly walked out.

Sima Zhao then said: "Yuan Kai, you don't understand, I can't agree now." ”

"No, General, I know everything that is going on in the temples and in the places."

Du Yu frowned, his expression was very serious.

Without hesitation, he continued; "I know what's going on in the local area, the general doesn't have to explain, it's done in secret."

"It's just that the progress now is different from what the general thought."

"The general should want you and Taifu to be in charge of the temple together, one is still the order, and the other is the general."

"However, the Queen Mother came forward."

"Shang Shuling became the Duke of Zheng, and you were recruited as General Wei."

"Although General Wei can also command the army, there are too many restrictions, starting from the official title, the general is slightly higher than the third division, and the general of the chariot cavalry, the general of the hussar, and the general of Wei is second only to the third division."

"You can command the armies of the world now, but you are subject to the restrictions of the three divisions."

When Sima Zhao heard Du Yu's words, he didn't continue to hide them, he said: "My brother originally instructed me to refuse several calls, I think, maybe it was to force them to summon me as a general. ”

"No, it's a little different now."

Du Pre said solemnly: "At the beginning, the general's idea should be to fight quickly, taking advantage of the chaos in the place, when the ministers are frightened, and the dragons are leaderless, let the ministers come to summon you and let you refuse, just to aggravate the chaos in the temple." ”

"But now it's different, Shangshutai is back in operation, although Zheng Gong is indisputable, but he is not incapable, the ministers have a leader, they will naturally calm down and solve the problem."

"You can't say no now, and if you do, you're likely to be replaced by someone else."

"You are the best candidate in the eyes of the ministers, but you are not the only one."

"Now we should change our strategy, first agree, no matter what, General Wei can also open the government and intervene in the government affairs of the temple, with this position, we can do more."

Listening to Du Yu's words, Sima Zhao's face became more and more complicated.

It turns out that General Wei wasn't planned by his brother? Did my brother's plan fail?

Seeing Sima Zhao, who was silent, Du Yu had no choice but to say: "Actually, this is not a bad thing, general, the general's plan is too radical, I think, this may be because of the executor, if you act according to the original plan, you and Taifu Gong can indeed take over the temple in time." ”

"However, the ministers will soon find out that the Sima family is the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Because the whole thing is down, the Sima family benefits the most, and whoever benefits the most is the controller."

"But it's different now, and it's not you who will benefit the most."

"Who's that?"

"It's the Duke of Gao, the Duke of Zheng, the prince, and even many local generals."

Sima Zhao pondered again, he trusted his brother very much, but he also trusted Du Pre very much, he knew Du Pre's ability and personality.

He finally made a decision, "Okay, just do as you say." ”

Du Yu hurriedly went out and called Xin Yi in, and Sima Zhao also expressed his willingness to accept the edict, and after changing his clothes, Sima Zhao hurriedly set off towards Shangshutai.

When Sima Zhao arrived at Shangshutai, the important ministers were already waiting here.

Zheng Chong sat on the top seat, his face was a little sad.

Zheng Chong is different from Gao Rou, Lu Yu and others, he never thought of taking charge of Shangshutai and commanding the world.

But now, he was semi-forced to push into this position.

Whether or not to do Shang Shuling is no longer a matter of his final say.

Now he is similar to Guo Zhi in the mountains, forcibly becoming the leader, but he doesn't have much control over the temple.

There are many ministers sitting below, each with their own thoughts.

The most powerful one today is Xun Yi.

There were a lot of Henan clans around him, but now that the power of the Hebei clan has been greatly injured, his voice in Shangshutai has begun to increase linearly.

When Sima Zhao was brought here, the ministers hurriedly got up, their faces full of kindness, as if they were not the ones who attacked Sima Zhao at all.

Sima Zhao also put away all the displeasure in his heart and returned the salute to them.

"With General Wei coming forward, this big event can be decided!"

"Yes, General Wei is here, why are you afraid of those traitors?"

The ministers' attitude towards him was completely different, and Sima Zhao also said some polite words.

"Gong Zheng, there are traitors all over the world, please allow me to take full charge of the counterinsurgency."

Sima Zhao looked at Zheng Chong and took the initiative to speak.

Zheng Chong nodded and agreed directly.

"Please complete the things accumulated by Shangshutai as soon as possible, don't let the world have turmoil because of Shangshutai, especially in Yongliang, if there is also turmoil here, then I can't stabilize it."

Sima Zhao had a straight face, and his expression was very solemn.

Zheng Chong agreed again.

Sima Zhao didn't continue to stay here, after Sima Shi died, their family's control of Shangshutai was divided, Sima Zhao can still control the military power at the moment, which is already very good, as for Shangshutai, he can only plan slowly.

After Sima Zhao returned to his mansion, he quickly gathered many henchmen and began to discuss the matter of counterinsurgency.

According to Du Pre's suggestion, he first sent someone to inform the officials and generals of the Quartet.

The general died of illness, and now he has taken over as General Wei, and asks the generals everywhere to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and he will leave the temple with the Chinese army to help them pacify it.

The temple was up and running again.

And at this moment, the Lu Mansion, which was still very lively, was so deadly silent.

Lu Qin sat on the edge of the bed decadently, looking at his weak father, and had many words in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.

Lu Yu was lying on the bed, his eyes were empty, staring up blankly, and he didn't say a word.

Lu Yu suddenly became a lot older, with gray hair, a decadent expression, and was about to die.

In fact, Lu Yu did not live as long as Gao Rou, and even without these things, he would have died in two years.

And this sudden outbreak directly knocked down this old man who was over seventy years old.

He never imagined that things would turn out like this.

The entire clan was slaughtered because of his scheme, and the Lu family went from a rising wealthy clan to a public enemy of Hebei in an instant.

He didn't even know if he would be able to resist the retaliation that followed.

How to face your father after death.

Lu Yu's face suddenly became even more painful.

And after suffering such a blow, Lu Yu no longer has his original arrogance.

He understood a lot of things in an instant.

"It's Sima Shi, it's Sima Shi who made it."

"All this is Sima Shi's backhand, no wonder he died of illness after I went to see him, and he has been waiting for me to see him"
