Chapter 14: Quitting

Speaking of which, Zhong Hui likes Jiang Wei, but he doesn't like Zhuge Zhan so much.

Mainly because Zhuge Zhan's promotion speed is faster than him.

Both of them are from big families, their fathers were both at the level of the prime minister, they lost their fathers at a young age, and they have been smart since childhood, and they have been valued by many people.

They have a high degree of similarity, and there is a vague feeling of "Wei Shiji Shu Siyuan".

Well, in fact, Wu Guo still has a "young festival", which is similar to them.

However, Zhong Hui himself may be a little dissatisfied with the behavior of comparing himself with the other party, and he has to compare with Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, what is there to compare with these young descendants?

Hearing Zhong Hui's words, Cao Chao fell into deep thought.

He hadn't even thought of it.

Although there is a precedent for Zhao Kuo's matter, with Liu Chan's love for Zhuge Zhan and the kind of preference of Shu people for Zhuge Zhan, it may not be really feasible!

And Zhuge Zhan is not a mediocre person, but he does not have the high ability expected by the Shu people, and he is young.

Let him fight against Deng Ai and others, Jiang Wei didn't dare to say that he could win Deng Ai steadily, why did he Zhuge Zhan? ?

This is really a bit like the Battle of Changping.

Cao Chao laughed, "Shi Ji has a very low opinion of this Zhuge Zhan. ”

"There is nothing to show for it, and it is rhetorical but not a single achievement."

Zhong Hui said very calmly.

Again, you can't be younger than Zhong Hui and the official will be higher than him.

Cao Chao asked, "Then how do you do it?" ”

Zhong Hui said very calmly: "Huang Hao of Shu Kingdom, I heard that he is a villain who is greedy for power and money, you can send someone to deal with this person, give him money, and make friends with him. ”

"You mean, wooing this man?"

Zhong Hui shook his head, "Your Majesty, if this person is just good money, he can be wooed, but this person is still powerful, this is what we can't give him, so we can't win it over now, it's best to just make friends, and when the Shu Kingdom is on the verge of extinction, this person will learn that his power cannot be saved, for fear of being killed by the rest of the scholars, and he can be used by us." ”

Cao Chao nodded, "Shiji, just rest assured." ”

"Shi Ji can deal with this matter by himself, and he doesn't need to ask me more about what he thinks."

"Yui!!"

Zhong Hui was very happy, and he discussed some other things with Cao Chao, including the matter of planting people within the Shu Kingdom.

Cao Chao agreed with them all.

Zhong Hui got up to say goodbye, and when he walked to the door, he looked at Zhang Hua who was standing aside, and asked unhappily: "Young age, big things are useless, why are you so good at trickery?" ”

Zhang Hua was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to ask, Zhong Hui raised his head and left here.

Cao Chao asked curiously: "Have you arranged someone for him?" ”

"No, how did he know?"

Cao Chao laughed, "I told you a long time ago, don't despise the ministers of the court so much, it seems that in the future, there will be more and more people who want to talk to themselves and bow in the direction of the palace!" ”

Zhang Hua smiled bitterly

"Hahaha, congratulations to Gong Cui!!"

Xun Yi smiled and saluted Cui Zan, Cui Zan hurriedly got up to return the salute, and then chuckled and led him into the study.

"Where's that unicorn of yours? I heard that his top watch has been loved by His Majesty, and it will be an extraordinary achievement to let him enter the Imperial History Observatory by name! ”

Xun Yi said with a smile.

Cui Zan shook his head and said very humbly: "My son is not a big deal, he is just a showman, where can he compare to the children of your family?" ”

"I heard that there is a disciple in your family, who answered His Majesty's questions, very calmly, without the slightest flustery, clean and straight, known as the Beauty, Your Majesty let him enter the Shangshutai."

Xun Yi smiled, the two exchanged a few words, and Cui Zan poured tea.

The servants began to serve.

Xun Yi opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty does things fiercely on weekdays, but this thing is actually not bad. ”

Cui Zan shook a moment and said calmly: "Xun Gong, why do you say this? Your Majesty has always been kind and generous, how can you say fierce? ”

Xun Yi said seriously: "The minister and the celebrity are said to kill and kill, and those who dare to come to persuade will be arrested and killed, how can this not be considered intense?" ”

Cui Zan said solemnly: "What Your Majesty kills is the one who should be killed, and these are to blame!" ”

Xun Yi hesitated for a moment, and then nodded as well, "It also makes sense, obviously there are so many people who die in the hands of the emperor, and there are always people who want to send them to death, and they are indeed to blame." ”

Xun Yi took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "I came to you this time for Wang Xue's business. ”

"Oh? Princely affairs? ”

"I heard you were involved in this, didn't I?"

Cui Zan nodded, "That's right, because of His Majesty's love, in order to repay His Majesty's kindness, the ministers gathered and discussed to solve the current dilemma through the classics and contribute to Your Majesty. ”

Xun Yi frowned.

Why does Cui Zan look a little weird today?

Although Cui Zan is very close to the emperor on weekdays, is his respect a little too much today?

Xun Yi cleared his throat and continued: "I already know the specific content of Wang Xue, it is worthy of being a prince, no wonder even the original Xiahou Gong and others want to learn the classics from him, I want to arrange for the children of the clan to study with him." ”

"It's just that it's not good for me to meet him and talk about it in person."

"You've always had a good relationship with those people"

Cui Zan immediately said: "It's a good thing to learn the classics, I can help Duke Xun to talk to the prince." ”

I don't know why, Xun Yi always felt that today's Cui Zan was a little weird, so he agreed?

He smiled and said: "If Gong Cui can help with this matter, I will definitely not forget your help, my family's Xunyu has been transferred to the Yushitai, I can let him guide you."

Cui Zan stood up abruptly and said angrily: "I decided to help because of the desire of the children of your clan to study, is Xun Gong humiliating me?" ”

Xun Yi was stunned.

You weren't like that before!

Isn't it normal for the big clans to help each other, and the children to help each other?

It's not that you were forcibly promoted, what kind of humiliation is this??

Xun Yi raised his head and looked at Cui Zan, who suddenly became extremely noble in front of him.

"Gong Cui, have you been disbanded recently?"

This meeting ended with Xun Yi hurriedly saying goodbye and leaving.

Sitting in the carriage, although the matter was done, Xun Yi still felt very confused.

How do these ministers look weird?

Cui Zan sat alone in the study, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Who would have thought that Zheng Chong, the original dignified third prince, has now done such a thing.

I heard that His Majesty had reopened the school office, one bright and one dark.

The person in charge on the surface is Liu Lu, and the person in charge in the secret is none other than Zheng Chong!

This is something that no one else could have imagined.

It's just because many people received Zheng Chong's letters, and then accepted some servants.

Since then, their study has become cleaner and cleaner.

Probably because the training of these people is too short, or because the assessment in Zheng Chong is too simple, anyway, many people are seen through at a glance.

In the eyes of many old foxes, these people's behaviors are not sneaky, this is just and bright!

It turns out that Zheng Gong is such a person!

No wonder he was the mastermind every time, and every time he was unharmed.

At the beginning, it was said that His Majesty had accomplished great things because someone was secretly helping him, could this person be Zheng Chong?

Xun Yi returned to the mansion at this moment, as the second-in-command of Shangshu, Xun Yi's life was not easy.

Xun Yi is not without talent, but compared with those heavyweights in Shangshutai, he seems a little powerless.

This is not because of the emperor's suppression, nor because the rest of the scholars are grouped, but they can't keep up with their simple ability.

Xun Yi also has the idea of retirement, and now the position of the servant in the temple is vacant.

Xun Yi was thinking about leaving Shangshutai at the moment, hanging up an honorary official, and then going to govern the scriptures or something with peace of mind.

There are too many things in Shangshutai, and Xun Yi can't afford such a toss.

As soon as Wang Su's classics came out, the attention of the scholars was drawn to the scriptures.

The classics have always been the capital needed for the great clans to compete, and if Wang Xue is prosperous, it will change the current pattern.

This also drove a lot of old ministers, and these old ministers decided to devote their energy to the classics, even if they couldn't suppress Wang Su, they had to have something and some improvement, otherwise once Wang Xue was prosperous, they would lose their academic competitiveness.

Whenever a classic appears, it often leads to a lot of academic progress.

This is what competition brings, so in history, there are often situations where scholars get together, either one does not come out, and one comes out and a group of people get together.

But when Xun Yi was just about to gather his children and prepare to do this, an uninvited guest interrupted his thoughts.

Seeing this person, Xun Yi felt a headache.

The person who came was Pei Xiu.

Pei Xiu was followed by a few armor soldiers, who were holding thick papers.

"Xun Gong, this is all the Xiongnu that the Ministry of Rites wants to implement in the near future, and I still need your help."

Xun Yi was very helpless and asked Pei Xiu to put his things aside, "Okay, I'll go and see it, you can go back first." ”

"Duke Xun, this matter is very important, Your Majesty is about to summon Shan Yu, so it must be reviewed and completed before tomorrow."

"Huh?!"

"Tomorrow?!"

Xun Yi looked at the thick paperwork on the side, "Why don't you go to Chen Tai?" ”

Pei Xiu said seriously: "He is reviewing the affairs of the Ministry of Industry." ”

Xun Yi picked up the documents on the side and flipped through them a few times, but he only felt dazzled, which were all the current situation of the Huns distributed in various places, from the population, to the commanders, and livestock materials, and even their nomadic borders, the commander's attitude towards the Han and his words on weekdays, etc.

And that's just the beginning, and that's where the real thing comes in.

Xun Yi glanced at it a few times, and his face suddenly became extremely calm.

Resign!

I won't do anything about Shang Shutai!!
