Chapter 83: Celebration Banquet
A huge celebration banquet was held in the temple.
Although the protagonist did not come, it did not affect the emperor's enthusiasm at all.
Deng Ai may really want to rectify the Yongliang army in time, do more practical things, and repay the emperor's appreciation, but what he did was not very appropriate.
As a general who commands the army, if you don't come back after the battle, if the emperor is more serious, then this is already useless.
That is, Cao Chao knew Deng Ai's personality and did not have any suspicions about him.
Cao Chao thought about his sages, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Zhong Hui, who is young and cautious, Deng Ai, who works hard from time to time, and Pei Xiu, who races with the lame
Talents! There are a lot of talents!
With these people here, why worry that Great Wei will not die?
At the celebration banquet, Cao Chao was mainly talking to Chen Tai.
Chen Tai is a great talent that Cao Chao values very much, and he is still a scholar in Cao Chao's heart, and even a candidate for Shang Shuling in the near future.
He was born in a top family, and he has a face, is decisive, courageous, sensible, and has no obvious shortcomings in all aspects.
Age, merit, qualifications, talents, all up to the mark.
Cao Chao was very polite to him, and his words were full of respect.
Chen Tai probably didn't expect the emperor to value himself so much, and he looked a little flattered.
Cao Chao asked Chen Tai to sit beside him and asked him about the war.
At the peak of the banquet, Cao Chao read out the many rewards given to Chen Tai.
Cao Chao immediately read out many rewards for Chen Tai and others.
This time, because of the great number of military exploits, there are dozens of marquis, and there are not a few people who have been added to the rank of knight.
And Cao Chao did not forget the previous agreement with the ministers, he did not appoint directly, but first asked the ministers for their opinions.
But where do the ministers dare to have an opinion now?
These rewards are all signed by themselves.
Many of the generals who participated in the banquet looked extremely excited, Wen Yang even performed a sword dance on the spot, and he wanted to try it with Sima Jun, but Sima Jun politely refused.
Looking at the lively banquet, Cao Chao whispered to Chen Tai: "Gong Chen, I am still missing a servant in this Shangshutai. ”
"I don't know if Gong Chen is willing to stay in Luoyang?"
Chen Tai had actually been qualified to participate in government affairs in the temple for a long time, and he left the temple in a way that was almost self-exiled, not wanting to participate in those battles and continue to tarnish his reputation.
Later, Sima Yi and Sima Shi were sent away, and Chen Tai felt that Sima Zhaoren was very honest, so he returned to the temple to serve as an official.
As a result, Sima Zhao gave him a big job of killing the emperor.
A wave sent Chen Tai away on the spot, vomiting blood and dying.
It is also unknown if he regretted returning to the temple before he died.
Anyway, Chen Tai is still very tempted at this moment.
Local officials, even if they have done the assassination, are only in charge of a state, but in Shangshutai, that is to govern the world, especially the servants.
In the case of Shang Shuling's invisibility, it is equivalent to half a prime minister.
Chen Tai wanted to speak and stopped.
Cao Chao said intimately: "You don't have to answer in a hurry, we can talk about this matter privately in the future." ”
"Your Majesty."
Zhong Hui suddenly appeared beside Cao Chao, and Cao Chao looked at him, "Shiji? ”
Zhong Hui glanced at Chen Tai, and then said: "I heard that a king cannot rule the world by grace alone, and it is the right way to give grace and power. ”
"Although General Deng and Chen Tingshi made great contributions this time, Deng Ai did not obey the edict, did not return to Luoyang after the battle, and privately handed over the army to Chen Tai, and Chen Tai, as a magistrate, dared not to ask His Majesty, and directly led the army to Luoyang."
"They should be punished for such behavior!"
Zhong will be a little unhappy.
Cao Chao smiled and soothed: "Today is a celebration banquet, Shi Ji Fang also said, grace and power, since it is a celebration banquet, it will be rewarded first, and the matter of punishment will be rewarded and punished, and then we will talk about it after the reward!" ”
Zhong Hui glanced at Chen Tai again, and then returned to his position, only to see him grab Cheng Tai and talk to him.
Chen Tai sighed and said, "Zhong Shiji is right, the minister is at fault, how dare he hold such a position as Shang Shu's servant?" ”
Cao Chao disagreed, "How can there be people in the world who don't make mistakes?" A person who can recognize his own shortcomings is a true sage. ”
Just as the two continued to talk, Zhong Hui attracted the attention of many ministers.
"No, I heard that it was difficult for the Yongliang army to win in the face of the rebels of Shu State, why were you able to defeat them with a small army?"
Zhong will ask in a loud voice.
Cheng Qi replied a little unnaturally: "This is Your Majesty's kindness that surpasses everyone, and the determination of the soldiers to serve Your Majesty also surpasses everyone. ”
The ministers all thought so.
Cao Chao laughed, this is what Zhong will teach.
However, how could Zhong Hui voluntarily give people a compliment?
Zhong Hui still shook his head, "I heard that the traitors of Shu oppressed the people and used the stolen money to build strong armor and sharp swords, which are not so easy to defeat. ”
"In addition to Your Majesty's kindness, is there any other reason for the soldiers' determination to serve?"
Cheng Yan immediately said: "We also have a great sage to help. ”
"The catapult of Shu can only throw dozens of steps, while our catapult can send a hundred steps!"
"The strong crossbow of Shu will be broken with three arrows in a row, and our strong crossbow will be ten arrows in a row and will be unharmed!"
"Shu is naturally not our opponent."
Cheng Yu finally said it.
And these words immediately aroused the speculation of the ministers.

Are our weapons so advanced?
Zhong Hui laughed, "Then I know, the sage who helped our army win, didn't he become an accident car and changed the crossbow to Ma Gong?" ”
Cheng Yan was shocked, "How do you know?" ”
"Ma Gong is famous in the world, who doesn't know?"
Hearing this, the ministers had different expressions, and Cao Chao was stunned.
It turned out to be an advertisement!
By the way, aren't you just a joke? Even if you advertise, you have to be the main position, right??
Zhong Hui stood up, looked at Cao Chao, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the reward should be given to Ma Gong before the matter." ”
"This time in the war with Shu, although he did not go to the battlefield, but the equipment he invented helped our army very well, making our army victorious, is he not credited?"
The ministers looked at each other a few times, and some people also felt that this made sense.
Cao Chao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, worthy of you.
Just a few days ago, Cao Chao also talked to Zhong Hui about Ma Jun, asking him how he could reuse Ma Jun openly.
Zhong Hui now gives the answer.
If you can tolerate people, be uncivilized, and be less selfish, you are simply the perfect auxiliary minister.
Cao Chao nodded, "What Zhong Qing said is reasonable." ”
Zhong Hui laughed, "Your Majesty has set up a celebration banquet, why don't you summon this person to come and go to the banquet together?" I would like to reward him for his merits. ”
Cao Chao thought so, and hurriedly ordered Zhang Hua to invite Ma Jun to come.
Fang Cai Zhonghui's performance has attracted the attention of many people.
In fact, the Wei and Jin people did not have such an aversion to equipment, in the later Han Dynasty, the ministers often branded craftsmen and inventors as traitors, saying that they used fun things to deceive the king, not doing their jobs, and abandoning the classics or something.
Of course, in that period, not only inventions, but also poetry and the like, were also despised, as long as they were not classics, they were all things for fun, and it didn't matter!
In the Wei and Jin dynasties, hobby equipment was no longer the same as fun, and it could not be said that it had a high status, but it was not as popular as before.
Many children of the big clan have this hobby, such as Du Pre.
Even serving and dispersing has become a matter of grace, and drinking with pigs is considered open-minded and straightforward, not to mention just playing with wood, which is simply too normal.
Only a few ministers seemed to realize what the emperor and Zhong Hui wanted to do.
The ministers didn't wait too long, and soon, Zhang Hua led the trembling Ma Jun here.
When Ma Jun saw the person sitting on the top seat, his eyes were full of chagrin.
And so it was!
It's really the emperor!!
The ministers looked at the old man curiously, and Ma Jun hurriedly met the emperor.
The emperor smiled and did not speak, but Cheng Yan stepped forward again and saluted the man.
"Ma Gong, because of you, we can win a big victory this time!"
"No, no, don't dare!"
Cao Chao opened his mouth and said: "Ma Gong, in this battle, some soldiers talked about your merits, thinking that although you did not fight, because of your skill, the soldiers were stronger than the enemy. ”
"This big victory should be credited to you."
"I think so, so I let you come to this celebration banquet."
Cao Chao asked Ma Jun to sit among the heroes, Ma Jun knew that he couldn't hide, so he simply accepted the order, but Ma Jun was not very at ease when he sat down, and he still preferred to make new tools in the house than to participate in the temple reward.
Cao Chao then also made people read out the reward for Ma Jun.
Ma Jun was promoted and appointed again, which can be regarded as Cao Chao helping him take the initiative to become famous.
After today's events, it is impossible for Ma Jun to keep a low profile.
The dignified Zhong Shiji personally praised him and made him famous, although he was only in the early stage, and he was in the back of the scene, but it was still very useful.
The banquet became even more lively, and several ministers took the initiative to come to Ma Jun's side and ask him about some things.
Cao Chao took another sip of wine.
The mood is more comfortable.
Originally, I wanted to use the Dongtang banquet to make Ma Jun famous, but I didn't expect that this celebration banquet would be done.
The war proved the effectiveness of Ma Jun's military inventions, and his civilian inventions can also be proved by a way.
In this period, even if you want to promote technology, you probably won't encounter much resistance.
The great clans of the Later Han Dynasty were ashamed to talk about profit, and if you told the ministers of the Later Han that this thing could bring wealth to you, they would draw their swords and cut you.
If you tell the ministers of the Wei and Jin dynasties that this thing can bring wealth, but you have to be ashamed and don't use it, then they will draw their swords and cut you.
Next, you can talk to Ma Jun about your thoughts, you are responsible for thinking, and Ma Jun is responsible for doing it.
The two of us are quacking and killing in the invention world of Great Wei
"Heh, the palace should be very lively at this moment."
Guo Zhang sat in the prison with his hair scattered, still thinking about the beautiful scene outside.
For some reason, no minister has come to see him so far.
Could it be that they want to save more fame so that they can be a third prince or something at once?
Yes, yes, if you want to do it, you have to be the third public!
Take Situ Lu Shang Shushi.
Yes, that's how it should be.
Guo Zhang suddenly laughed again.
And Xun Yu outside the prison, looking at this scene, only felt that his scalp was numb.
This guy has been locked up for a long time, isn't it because Guan is sick??
