Chapter 114: Why Didn't I Get Involved

"Your Majesty, !!"

Cao Chao had just opened his eyes, and Zhong Hui rushed into the West Hall in a hurry, Cao Chao had never seen Zhong Hui so anxious.

"Your Majesty! There was a debate in the East Hall, why didn't you tell me?! ”

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, "Didn't Shi Ji go out of Luoyang to inspect Henan officials?" ”

Zhong Hui's face at the moment was extremely complicated, lost, annoyed, remorseful, and unwilling.

It can be seen that after missing this debate, Zhong Hui's heart is really difficult to calm down.

Seeing Zhong Hui's expression, Cao Chao could only express regret.

I did it on purpose.

His debate with the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest was not a debate at all, and Cao Chao's purpose was not to convince them, it was just a public opinion orientation.

When Cao Chao debated with Zheng Chong in the East Hall, was it to persuade Zheng Chong?

Cao Chao is not a big family, so there is no need to do such a set.

He just used this incident to change the current atmosphere, Cao Chao didn't have any evil thoughts about the four old men in the Shang Mountain, they practiced honestly in the mountains, and they didn't do anything harmful, but in order to combat the current atmosphere of escapism, he could only hang these four people up and fight.

The current trend of thought of the corporal people is too negative, they do not worship Xiao He Zhang Liang, who has made meritorious achievements, they worship those celebrities who hide in the deep mountains and old forests and live in seclusion.

It can be seen from Ruan's previous words that Ruan's generation believes that this kind of seclusion is the highest spiritual pursuit, and fame and fortune cannot be compared.

And in the mouth of his nephew, it goes even further: those who want to make achievements are not moral people.

This shows that the scholars' thinking is becoming more and more radical, but in the direction of rottenness.

What Cao Chao wants is not to defeat these seven people, but to combat this negative trend of thought, this matter Cao Chao can ask anyone, but the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest have the greatest reputation, so Cao Chao chose the seven of them to conduct this debate.

After all, they are Dawei idols, and their affairs are more popular, and they are easy to be on the "hot search".

But this kind of thing, you have to avoid Zhonghui, although this guy should be able to think of what he wants to do, but he can't guarantee that he will go up when the time comes, stand on the side of the Seven Sages and output to himself, and he will fight the Seven Sages through the persecution of power, plus the hidden undercover agent to solve it, and add another Zhonghui, in case things get out of control, they will be broken.

Zhong Hui sat next to Cao Chao, very annoyed.

"Your Majesty, the news has spread outside, and the scholars are talking about it!"

"Even outside Luoyang, I can hear it, many people are debating the ambitions of these four Hao and three masters, and they actually came to ask me what I think."

When Cao Chao heard this, his mood suddenly improved.

The influence of these seven people is still great, you can imagine the scale of the uproar caused by Sima Zhao after Ji Kang was executed, and Sima Zhao, who could force him, to admit his mistake and express regret.

Through them to publicize, the effect is still obvious.

Of course, just through such a debate, it is not realistic to completely reverse the trend of thought, but Cao Chao is not in a hurry, I Dawei is not lacking in this kind of celebrities, and I will come here from time to time in the future, continue to suppress the idea of escapism, empty talk, and inaction, and under the drive of celebrities, the situation can always improve somewhat.

At the beginning, Emperor Ming chose to reverse the situation by cracking down on the inactive guys in the temple, but he did not succeed.

Obviously, only thought can defeat thought.

This Great Wei needs a new idea.

And it just so happens that Cao Chao is very good at debate, and his family's Situ is also a classic of governance.

Looking at Zhong Hui, who was still complaining, Cao Chao opened his mouth and said: "Shi Ji, don't do this, this time it's because you are not in the temple, it's okay, but, Shi Ji, who do you think is more ambitious than these four Hao and three masters?" ”

Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment.

Zhong Hui is a person who attaches great importance to fame and merit, after all, he talks all day long about establishing immortal merits, but he is also a young man, and he admires the kind of people who don't care about fame and fortune and are uninhibited.

Such conflicting thoughts appeared in one person.

Zhong Hui immediately fell silent, and he said slowly: "Chen still thinks that Xiao He and the others have more ambitious ambitions. ”

"As Your Majesty said, after establishing an immortal fame, then follow the example of Liuhou to go to the mountains and forests to pursue the avenue, this is what the ministers should do!"

Obviously, Zhong Hui combined these two ideas, after all, there is a precedent for Zhang Liang.

Zhong Hui has always admired Zhang Liang, and in history, his nickname is the Marquis of Wei.

Zhong Hui didn't know what to remember, and suddenly looked at Zhang Hua who was standing at the door, "Look at you, where do you still look like a descendant of a marquis?" That Zhang Yi is of the same clan as you, he is imprisoned in Luoyang, why don't you go to see him and appease him? I know that I am standing here to flatter and please His Majesty!! Do you think that this will build merit?! ”

Zhang Hua is actually not ugly.

Even if it can't reach the level of Pei Kai, Cao Chao, and Wei Qian, it is definitely handsome.

It's just that he doesn't understand why this bell can't get along with him.

Always reprimanded himself suddenly.

Zhang Hua was extremely disgusted with Zhong Hui at first, and he had to fight back every time, but now, Zhang Hua is also numb, just scold, anyway, you are older than me, so I should respect the old man.

If Zhong Hui stops scolding one day, he will praise him a few words, maybe Zhang Hua will not get used to it!

Cao Chao suddenly remembered this person, and he asked, "How is the situation here Zhang Yi?" ”

Zhong Hui replied: "Your Majesty, since this person was imprisoned, he has not been willing to eat and drink, and has made a lot of noise, but I don't think he really wants to die. ”

"If a man really wants to die, how can anyone stop him?"

"He probably just feels a little difficult to step down, if he can let Zhang Hua appease him for a few words, he can still keep him, even if he can't be allowed to work for Dawei, he has to ensure his survival."

"He can live, so the people of Shu and Wu are not willing to resist to the death."

Zhong Hui talked about the people of these two countries, his face was a little disdainful, he glanced at Zhang Hua, and waved his hand, "You go and visit your fellow clansman, I have important matters to discuss with Your Majesty, this is not something you can listen to." ”

Cao Chao nodded at Zhang Hua, but he was not afraid of Zhang Hua's coldness, the two of them have been getting along for longer and longer, Zhang Hua has vaguely become Cao Chao's absolute confidant, closer than those who originally took refuge in Cao Chao, Cao Chao will ask his opinions and ideas about everything, Cao Chao almost knows everything he does, this is a real henchman.

Don't look at his official rank, but out of this Taiji Palace, no one dares to despise him, even if he is young, others are also a Zhang Gong.

Only Zhong Hui is so cautious that he will scold him and call him by his name.

After Zhang Hua left, Zhong Hui said: "Since Zhuge Liang, Shu and Wu have often sent envoys, but they are generally sent by internal ministers, and there has never been a matter of sending Jiuqing to envoys. ”

"This time, the State of Shu went to the State of Wu with Jiang Wan's son Jiang Xian, who served as the Nine Secretaries of the State of Shu and held a high position."

"This is because I have a holy king and a famous minister in Great Wei, and they are starting to be afraid."

Zhong Hui was a little smug at the moment, obviously, he thought it was his own credit.

Well, it actually makes sense.

Xiahou Ba is a bell that can blow, and he always preaches the "bell will threat theory" in Shu, saying that once Cao Wei reuses this person, we will be in danger.

As a result, now Zhong Hui is serving in the book, which is not an ordinary reuse, and it is strange that they can not be afraid.

Cao Chao said seriously: "If Sun Jun joins forces with Jiang Wei, then there may be some trouble. ”

"Hahaha, it's impossible!"

Zhong Hui was very confident, he said: "They exchange messengers with each other, but this is not to say that they are completely at ease with each other, because of the past experience, the Shu people dare not easily trust the Wu people, and the ministers who hate the Wu people in the country are no less than those who hate us, and here in the Wu people, Sun Jun has some vision and knows the stakes, but everyone around him is all worms!" ”

"They are still killing their own people now, and Sun Quan's daughter asked Sun Jun to kill her sister, and many people were implicated"

"Sun Jun has to rely on the power of the Wu clan, his two sisters are married to the whole family and the Zhu family respectively, it is impossible for him to deal with the clan, which will cause their situation to become worse and worse."

Zhong Hui talked about his guesses.

He thinks that Shu is completely different from Wu, the big clan of Shu is not very good, the resources are limited, there are many people who divide it, and the treatment of the big clan here in Cao Wei is very good, Jiang Wei has been crusading for many years, so that they are forced to bleed, this is unbearable for the big clan, it has always been just the wool of our temple, how can we let the temple kill us?

Therefore, Zhong Hui guessed that the ministers within the Shu Kingdom must have lost their fighting spirit more and more, as long as something happened to Jiang Wei, they would be a group of lambs to be slaughtered, and it would be of no use to those who lost their fighting spirit, even if they gave the most troops and the strongest checkpoints.

This is not the case in the Wu Kingdom, the life of the big clans in the Wu Kingdom is nourishing and enjoyable, once someone comes to grab their territory, they will resist fiercely, of course, if the matter reaches the point of no return, then they will directly give up resistance, and absolutely not shed a drop of blood for the temple.

Therefore, if you want to complete the unification, you have to start from the side of Shu first.

Cao Chao was a little surprised, Zhong Hui's prediction at this moment was almost consistent with the development of history.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for Wu to interfere here, they will fight themselves, but Shu is different, their most fierce contradiction is only in the matter of the Northern Expedition, therefore, Your Majesty should try to intensify the struggle within Shu"

"How can it be exacerbated?"

"It's very simple, Your Majesty doesn't have to use a single soldier."

"It's okay to set up another general to beg Shu."
