Chapter 2 Your Majesty, we are a family
The bell ordered his retinue to load the wrapped things into the wagon, which were so heavy that no one knew what they were.
But Zhong Hui himself was not in a hurry to leave the prison, and after leaving Gao Rou, he came to the place where Sima Fu was imprisoned.
Zhong Hui's idea is also very simple, to take advantage of the fact that before these people die, he will last collect wool and squeeze out their value.
Sima Fu's situation was much better than Gao Rou's, although he was also sitting on the ground with a decadent face, his expression was normal and not sluggish.
Seeing Zhong Hui coming, he hurriedly got up and wanted to bow and worship, but Zhong Hui hurriedly helped him up.
"You are an elder, how dare I accept your courtesy?"
Sima Fu was not surprised by Zhong Hui's arrival, this person likes to run into prison very much, this is an old tradition, this was the case when Xiahou Xuan was arrested.
"I didn't expect that now Shi Ji is still willing to come to meet the old man, and the old man is really shameless to face Shi Ji."
Sima Fu wiped the tears from his face.
Zhong Hui also looked sad, "Alas, I originally wanted to try to rescue you, but my brother is no longer Tingwei." ”
"That Chen Qian is ruthless and unwilling to listen to my persuasion"
Sima Fu hurriedly shook his head, "Shi Ji doesn't have to be like this, don't worry about you because of me!" ”
The two held each other's hands, and the scene was quite touching.
Only then did Zhong Hui speak: "What I'm most worried about now is your son." ”
"Your son is serving as the general of Anxi in Yongzhou, this time you are implicated in a major case of rebellion, you will be punished, go to Liaodong, if he learns about this matter, his heart is anxious, and if he does something impulsive, won't he bring great disaster to himself?"
"Today, the six battalions of the Chinese army are all owned by His Majesty, and the division of Huaisi swears to follow, and in Yongliang, Chen Tingshi has followed the general for many years, and the soldiers also obey him, and Chen Tingshi's personality, you know best, after that incident, he has always blamed himself and is unwilling to return to the temple, but now it is a rare opportunity for him to wash away his notoriety."
Sima Fu frowned and didn't say a word.
Zhong Hui continued: "Therefore, what I am worried about now is that my son will betray Great Wei like Xiahou Ba. ”
Sima Fu shuddered.
Sima Fu knew that with what he had conspired with Gao Rou, he could be sentenced to exile, which was already very lenient, and he couldn't act as if nothing had happened.
Sima Fu is acceptable anyway, although he sacrificed himself, but at least his own people and his own children will not be implicated.
It's much better than the three clans of Gao Rou.
Sima Fu didn't worry too much about his son Sima Wang, first of all, Sima Wang had passed on to his eldest brother Sima Lang as his son, and legally speaking, Sima Wang and him had no father-son relationship.
And he also knows his son very well, his son is cautious, understands the overall situation, and will not turn his face with the temple for his own affairs.
He will continue to lead the remaining Sima family and truly become a normal family.
However, hearing what Zhong Hui said at this moment, Sima Fu suddenly thought of another possibility.
Cast Shu.
This is what Sima Fu can't bear, the people at the bottom probably can't see it clearly, but these old guys with real power in the temple know that Shu and Wu are no longer the opponents of Wei.
If it weren't for the internal contradictions in Wei over the years, the change of power and ministers, and the fact that Sima Shi still had to deal with internal and external thieves, I am afraid that he would have sent troops to crusade against these two countries long ago.
Since Emperor Wen began to advocate recuperation, the national strength of Wei has continued to increase, and now, the number of soldiers that Great Wei can use has reached more than 400,000, but in terms of national strength, Shu and Wu are not opponents at all.
If his son defects to Shu, sooner or later he will die in the hands of the Wei people, and his family will end up together.
He is not Xiahou Ba, Xiahou Ba can't punish his clan if he votes, but Sima Wang votes for it, it's over, even if the emperor doesn't want to kill him, he has to do it, otherwise he won't be able to convince the public.
Seeing Sima Fu, who was beginning to panic, Zhong Hui suddenly asked, "Why don't you write a letter to your son?" ”
"Good! Good! I'll write it now! ”
Inside the Tai Chi Temple.
"Your Majesty, you see that this jade is a tribute from the Western Regions in Khotan, the whole body is white, the feet are on the green mountains, and it is like fat, it is really a rare good product, it was given to me by the Western Regions Changshi Chengyi."
Xin Chang knelt beside Cao Chao with a smile, his face full of smiles.
He was holding a piece of jade in both hands, which was made into a tiger shape, the size of a fist, and sure enough, his whole body was very white, and there was some blue on the position of his feet.
Cao Chao didn't stretch out his hand to pick it up, turned his head sideways to look at the jade in Xin Chang's hand, and couldn't help nodding and said, "Good jade!" It is worthy of being a treasure of the Western Regions! ”
Although Cao Wei has many criticisms in history, his contribution in Chinese history is also indelible, first he crusaded against Goguryeo in the northeast, and then opened the road to the Western Regions, added the Western Regions Governor's Mansion, and maintained the territorial integrity of the country.
During the Cao Pi period, the countries of the Western Regions came to pay tribute, and Cao Pi was very happy to receive them, and at the same time sent officials to the Western Regions, began to govern Tuntian in the Western Regions, and built post stations along the road, which strengthened the connection between the Central Plains and the border areas.
Cao Chao didn't understand jade, but he could also see that the beautiful jade that Xin Chang was playing with was definitely the kind of priceless treasure.
Xin Chang handed the jade to Cao Chao again, "Your Majesty can take a closer look." ”
Cao Chao took the piece of jade and nodded again, "It's a good jade." ”
Xin Chang hurriedly laughed, "Your Majesty likes it, the minister specially brought this beautiful jade today, just to let His Majesty identify one or two His Majesty to see this skin, this meat, it is not loose at all"
"Hahaha, Xin Gong, I can barely see the good and the bad, but I don't know how to read jade."
Xin Chang was a little anxious, so he had to change his words and say, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to dedicate this jade to you." ”
"Oh?"
Cao Chao put away the smile on his face.
"How can I harvest such a precious thing? Xin Gong should take it back. ”
Xin Chang hurriedly shook his head, "Your Majesty, we are all a family, but close relatives, how can we say such a thing?" Although you are playing with it, you are the busiest on weekdays, and in your spare time, look at Meiyu"
Cao Chao was a little surprised, "Oh? Close relative? ”
It was only overnight that the offensive and defensive forces were different.
Xin Chang knew that the emperor was angry and ridiculed his behavior yesterday, but Xin Chang was helpless.
Who can be blamed for this?
If you want to blame yourself, you have no eyes, such a good opportunity, you actually missed it like this.
Just yesterday, Cao Chao still held his hand and said that we are a family, but Xin Chang shook off his hand and did not want to be the emperor's family.
But now, Xin Chang began to hold Cao Chao's hand and wanted to become the emperor's family.
With the fall of the third duke, a large number of vacancies appeared everywhere, and because Xin Chang did not appreciate it, the fat shortage of Shangshutai was directly obtained by Xun Yi.
This made Xin Chang's intestines repent.
If I could be more active that day, agree to come down as soon as possible, and become a family, then what else would Xun Yi do?
Therefore, after meditating in the palace for a whole day, Xin Chang came to the palace early today and came to meet the emperor.
He took the best treasures in his family and wanted to regain the emperor's heart.
Xin Chang is not afraid of whether others will laugh at him, in the current situation, he is also precarious, although he has not yet entered the Tingwei prison, but speaking of which, he is also directly involved in this rebellion, or the specific executor.
If you don't get the emperor's favor, let alone climb up, even the current position may not be able to be kept.
Looking at Xin Chang, who was so anxious that he was sweating in front of him, Cao Chao laughed and put away the piece of beautiful jade.
"Okay, since you've opened your mouth, then I'll have to accept it."
"We are already a family, so don't be like this in the future."
Seeing that the emperor had accepted the gift, Xin Chang breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty said yes." ”
Cao Chao stroked his smooth chin and asked, "I heard that your sister's children, Yang Jin and Yang Xiu, are both very good young people, and they have not been conscripted until now?" ”
Xin Chang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly nodded, "Your Majesty, that's exactly the case." ”
"Well, then let Yang Jin be a Shangshulang in Shangshutai, and let Yang Xiu be a yellow door by my side."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
Although Xin Chang himself was not promoted, his two nephews were recruited, one went to Shangshu and the other stayed with the emperor, Xin Chang was already very content.
Xin Chang himself did not have a son, and the Xin family was slaughtered because of the battle of Cao Yuan.
Xin Bi only has one son and one daughter, and like Na Lu Yu, he has changed from a large clan to a small family, while Xin Chang has no children, and he has always wanted to inherit one from a relative's family.
At present, the relationship between the Xin family and the Yang family is extremely close, and they are almost inseparable from each other.
Cao Chao smiled and talked to Xin Chang about the things in the temple.
"The minister of the temple, although there is a loyalty like you, but this time Gao Rou rebelled, I am afraid that he still has many comrades hiding among the sages."
"The reason why they don't dare to jump out now is just because they are afraid of the sword soldiers, and in the future, they may still make trouble."
"I would like you to come and see more of the courtiers and find out who are wrongdoers among them."
Just as the two were talking, Zhang Hua hurriedly walked in.
"Your Majesty, Shangshu Cui Zan has come to pay a visit."
Xin Chang suddenly frowned, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, this old thief must have come here to curry favor with Your Majesty!
As a scholar, he doesn't even have any backbone!
It's despicable!
Cao Chao nodded, "Please let him in." ”
Xin Chang couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty, the ministers should not be gullible, the ministers will keep an eye on these people for Your Majesty, please rest assured." ”
"Hmm."
Xin Yi hurriedly retired.
Walking out of the Taiji Palace, he passed by Cui Zan, who looked at his face thoughtfully.
