Chapter 152: Ming Jun and Virtuous Minister

"This"

Hearing Biqiu Jian's words, Cao Chao suddenly hesitated.

Biqiu Jian's strategy is somewhat in conflict with Zhong Hui's strategy.

In fact, Cao Chao can understand Qiu Jian's thoughts, Sun Qi has killed several Wu generals in a row, and there will definitely be even bigger chaos in the future, which seems to be an excellent time to attack.

However, Cao Chao thinks that Shu should be destroyed first.

First of all, the Yangtze River moat, the Great Wei has a naval army, but if it is said that it is said that it is still a little reluctant to rely on the current naval warships to destroy Eastern Wu.

Moreover, the talents of the Wu State have not been broken, and the strong attack on the Wu State may really force the Shu and Wu Alliances out.

The people of Wu don't like to attack, but they like to defend.

Cao Chao did not hide his thoughts, he said very directly: "General, the civil strife in Wu can be intensified, but it has not yet reached the point where it can be destroyed. ”

"There are two people in the state of Wu, who I am more afraid of, Ding Feng among the old generals, and Lu Kang in the later life."

"Attacking the State of Wu now will cause the Wu people to quickly join forces, or even join forces with the State of Shu, which will not be beneficial to us."

"I think it's best to borrow Sun Qi's hand to get rid of these feared enemies of Wu State, protect Sun Qi, and let him do more disasters for many more years, and when Wu Guo's national strength is almost harmed by him, we can do it."

"Among the Shu and Wu kingdoms, it is still the Shu kingdom that is more feared."

"All the generals of the Wu State who can command the army have been killed, and there will be no one to fight with us in a short period of time."

"Zhong Hui once said: Be anxious about Shu and slow down with Wu."

"I think the old general might want to think about this strategy."

Biqiu Jian stroked his beard again, and Biqiu Jian still wanted to wipe out Wu.

He had been fighting against Wu for many years, and he had never seen Wu so weak, so he subconsciously thought that now was the best time to crusade against Wu.

The decline of Shu was due to Zhuge Liang's death too early, while the decline of Wu was due to Sun Quan's death too late.

Sun Quan's behavior in his later years caused Wu to fall into a long-term internal struggle, but the overall strength of Wu was slightly stronger than that of Shu, and Zhuge Ke was able to bring out 200,000 troops to crusade against Wei, but Shu could not do this.

If Jiang Wei brought out an army of 200,000, then Cao Wei would probably not be able to sit still.

Wu Guo is now a serious attrition of generals, and Biqiu is thrifty and sharpens his sword, but Cao Chao knows that this is not the time when Wu Guo is the weakest, this is just the beginning of weakness.

Although Sun Xiu came to power later, Ding Feng and Lu Kang, Wu's national strength became weaker and weaker day by day, and finally perished.

Moreover, as long as Sun Qi can be preserved, the decline of the Wu State will be even more rapid than in history.

Biqiu Jian said seriously: "This matter, the minister wants to discuss with Zhong Hui. ”

Cao Chao naturally agreed.

Just as the two were talking, Cheng Ji hurriedly came here with a person.

The person who came was none other than Biqiudian.

When he walked to the door and heard his father's voice coming from inside, Biqiudian immediately lowered his head, and his face was extremely bitter.

Cheng Ji grinned, "Biqiu-kun, don't worry, if you want to come, General Biqiu won't beat you in front of His Majesty!" ”

Biqiudian was stunned for a moment, and without explanation, he walked into the hall with his head down.

When he walked in, Biqiu Jian frowned.

"Your Majesty!"

"Father!"

He prayed and saw him one after another.

Biqiu Jian didn't say a word, but Cao Chao stood up with a smile, "Why is Jun so polite?" Come on, sit down. ”

Biqiudian sat beside Cao Chao and didn't dare to raise his head to look at his father.

Biqiu Jian opened his mouth and said: "If this person has something important to play, the minister can retreat. ”

Cao Chao smiled bitterly, "General, why is this necessary, between fathers, why is this so?" ”

Biqiu Jian replied solemnly: "In the temple, there is no father and son, and they are just ministers of the same dynasty. ”

"This family banquet is also, not to talk about government politics."

Cao Chao took Biqiudian's hand again, "I removed Jun before, not to punish him"

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that you are protecting the minister, and if the minister is not deposed at that time, he will be thrown into prison like everyone else."

"The minister is ashamed of His Majesty, ashamed of his father, and the minister is incompetent"

Biqiudian was ashamed.

Cheng Ji stood at the door, very confused, that's all?

Why don't you get beaten?

If I were deposed, my brother would have to break my leg.

Is this dignified general so easy to talk to?

Cheng Ji was quite disappointed, and immediately walked to Zhang Hua's side and guarded here with him.

Cao Chao is not afraid that Biqiudian's deposition will offend Biqiujian, Biqiujian is not that kind of person, he just wants to make his words clear, and not let the father and son have any conflicts because of this.

Cao Chao explained in detail the situation of the officials and the problems faced by the Imperial Historical Observatory, which was intended to excuse Biqiudian.

The place of Yushitai, no matter who hands it over, is a mess, and people like He Zeng can only be asked to cut through the mess quickly.

After Cao Chao's explanation, Biqiu Jian's face was also slightly soothed.

"You have lived up to Your Majesty's high expectations, you must read more books and study more in the future, and you must not be so incompetent anymore and make Your Majesty do it yourself!"

Biqiu Jian reprimanded his son.

The three of them immediately talked about the problems in the temple, and ate together again, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

Biqiu Jian wanted to speak again and again at the moment, and he couldn't speak several times.

Cao Chao clearly saw the change in Biqiu Jian's face.

"General, you came from afar, and the ministers are not in a hurry to see you, it is better to go and see that the mansion of King Qi of Qi is around here, and I can let Mao take you over first."

This is what Biqiu Jian can't say.

Biqiu Jian was a die-hard loyalist of the Ming Emperor.

Although Cao Chao has now passed on to Emperor Ming and inherited his throne, after all, there is still King Qi, the son of Emperor Ming.

Before he arrived, he had been thinking about this question.

The original Qingzhou rebellion directly forced the King of Qi to a very dangerous point.

Later, the king of Qi went to Luoyang, and many people said that the king of Qi was going to die early.

Although Biqiu Jian supports Cao Chao very much, he is also worried about the safety of King Qi, he does not want to see King Qi die, but from Cao Chao's position, he can understand such a thing.

When Cao Chao opened his mouth to ask him to see King Qi, Biqiu Jian was a little surprised.

According to the logic of the politician, he almost thought that it was the emperor who was testing himself.

He wondered what his attitude towards King Qi was.

However, looking at Cao Chao's clean eyes, Biqiu Jian dispelled his suspicions.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not"

Biqiu Jian wanted to explain a few words, but suddenly felt that such an explanation seemed to be a bit of a contempt for the trust of the young emperor opposite.

Biqiu Jian stopped and saluted towards Cao Chao.

"Yui!"

Biqiudian's eyes were a little stunned, and when Zhang Hua left with his father, he wanted to speak and stopped, but Cao Chao stopped him.

"Don't worry about these things, I won't doubt the general, if even General Biqiu can't believe it, then there is no one in the whole world who can be trusted, and I haven't thought about killing the King of Qi, Biqiu Jun, I want you to go to Hebei to serve as the Taishou, what do you think?"

Biqiudian hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that I will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." ”

Cao Chao immediately said: "Don't worry, I didn't take into account that those thieves in the temple could be rampant to such a point. ”

"Let you go to the place to sharpen first, except for the assassin history in the place, no one can suppress you, and the thieves in the place are even worse than those in the temple, unscrupulous means, if you can defeat them, you will understand the truth of governing the world."

The two of them just struck up a conversation.

But Biqiu Jian followed Zhang Hua to the location of King Qi.

Zhang Hua opened his mouth and said, "General, I have something I want to ask you. ”

Biqiu Jian looked at him, "It's okay for you to be blunt. ”

"Does the general think that His Majesty is a cruel and tyrannical king?"

"Not at all."

Biqiu Jian replied very simply.

"Then why bother to see King Qi?"

"Don't you think that Your Majesty is not good for King Qi?"

Biqiu Jian said very seriously: "I have been ordered by Emperor Ming to take care of King Qi. ”

"Because of my incompetence, he was deposed, but the current situation is critical, even if Emperor Ming is reincarnated, he will definitely support His Majesty to take power, and King Qi is far inferior to him."

"I'm going to see King Qi now, just to persuade him, don't cause trouble for yourself, don't force Your Majesty to do something he doesn't want to do, and explain it clearly, lest others use me to bewitch King Qi and make him do dangerous things."

Hearing Biqiu Jian's explanation, Zhang Hua couldn't help but be moved.

"It's really a wise man."

Biqiu Jian looked at him again, "I am old, even if I assist the Son of Heaven, I can only assist for ten years, and in the future, the Great Wei will still rely on ministers like Zhang Maoxian to assist." ”

The two of them just walked to the place where Cao Fang, the king of Qi, was.

Before they could enter, the two of them heard laughter coming from inside.

Zhang Hua asked the eunuch to inform him that when Biqiu Jian walked in with Zhang Hua, Cao Fang's clothes were a little untidy, and his princess hurriedly walked into the side courtyard.

There was no embarrassment on Cao Fang's face, and he immediately recognized this confidant minister who had been with his father all the year round!

"General!!"

Cao Fang hurriedly saluted, Biqiu Jian's heart was a little complicated, but he still helped him up.

Cao Fang looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "When did the general come?" But what happened? ”

"Come today, on the orders of Your Majesty, I have come to visit the king."

"It turned out to be ordered by His Majesty, it's hard for His Majesty to still miss me at the moment, it's really touching me"

Cao Fang said, as if a few tears were squeezed out of her eyes.

This made Biqiu Jian feel a little incredible.

It's a bit surprising that you have attitude, when did you become so smart??

Cao Fang hurriedly took out a letter, "This is written by a widow, and the general will help me bring it to Your Majesty!" ”

"After coming to Luoyang, I was deeply affected by His Majesty's kindness, so I wrote this table to express my gratitude to Your Majesty!!"
