Chapter 75: Who Will Succeed the Great Title?
Deng Ai was not activated, and he was sent back to the mansion again.
However, his son Deng Zhong was summoned to Shangshutai again.
His original achievements were not eaten either.
Zheng Yuan is not such a villain.
It's just that Deng Ai is quite displeased, and he still feels that he should go to Huainan and take charge of this big battle.
Although Deng Ai was not used, Cao Chao still felt that he could talk to Biqiu Jian about his thoughts.
At the same time, the people of Shu are constantly returning to the temple.
In addition to a large number of triumphant soldiers, there were also those generals who later surrendered, as well as those whom Cao Chao asked to bring by name.
The first is that Zhong Hui returned to Luoyang.
"Your Majesty!!"
Zhong Hui appeared in the Taiji Hall again, and his voice was exceptionally loud.
Cao Chao was very surprised when he saw Zhong Hui who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Didn't you say it would come in three days?"
"How do you"
"Your Majesty, there are so many things going on in this temple, how can you waste your time in a hurry? The minister returned on a fast horse! β
Cao Chao shook his head with a wry smile, and then motioned for him to sit down.
Zhong Hui sat next to Cao Chao, Zhong Hui this time he completed his ambition to destroy the country and become a marquis, and he was in a hurry to return to the temple, probably to share his success with the people he valued.
For example, the ones in the bamboo forest, such as the one in the Taiji Palace, and of course, the one at home.
Zhong Hui straightened up and looked at Cao Chao expectantly.
This is waiting for Cao Chao to praise himself.
"Shiji has made a great contribution this time! Taiwei told me that along the way, Shi Ji offered his strategy many times, and even personally led the troops, won many times, broke through several levels, and also saw through Jiang Wei's tricks, so that the situation in Shu did not deteriorate! β
"After subduing Shudi, Shi Jiduo went to visit the local celebrities and heroes, and collected a lot of available talents for the temple!"
"With a virtuous minister like Shiji, the peaceful world is in front of you!"
Cao Chao praised for a long time, Zhong Hui's face turned red, and the whole person looked like he was dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, Shu is really a lot of scholars, and the minister has made a lot of friends in Shu this time."
Zhong Hui pulled out a list from his sleeve.
"These are those talents who have never been out of the woods in Shudi"
Cao Chao picked up the list and praised a few more words, although he knew in his heart that these were probably those good-looking talents in Shudi
Zhong Hui talked about Hanzhong's Taishou Liu Yin.
He said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, this prince is extremely talented, honest and loyal, good at government affairs, knows military affairs, knows strategy, under the command of Liu Chan, he is really a talent!" β
"A person like him, but he was ordered to guard a small checkpoint, this is not Qucai, this is simply humiliation!"
When Zhong Hui talked about Liu Chan, there was anger in his eyes.
Probably in his opinion, the guy who has so many scholars, but despises them so much, and mixes with eunuchs all day long, should be pulled out of Ling Chi!
It's like the best card in your eyes is used by someone who doesn't know the goods to pick the teeth and pick the lock.
Cao Chao had heard of Liu Yin, but he didn't expect him to be good-looking.
can be touted by Zhong Hui to such a point, in addition to his own talent, that appearance is also very good.
Zhong Hui really doesn't care about your talent, people who have talent but no looks don't deserve his favor, because Zhong Hui thinks that no matter how talented you are, what? It's not as good as me anyway.
However, the Liu Yin he talked about is indeed a usable talent.
After he is in the place for a while, he may be able to assassinate the history, or go directly to the temple.
Zhong Hui introduced the rest of the people to Cao Chao, Zhong Hui really didn't treat him in vain in Shu these days, it seemed that he was visiting all kinds of people outside every day.
After introducing these talents, Zhong Hui talked about the governance of Shu.
Speaking of this, Zhong Hui's face was not so good-looking.
"Your Majesty, why don't you directly crown Zhang Hua as the King of Shu?"
Cao Chao laughed, "Shi Ji, Mao Xian is in Shudi, but he is just supervising, saying that he is the governor of the military and government, just to make it convenient for him to supervise, why do you want to do this?" β
Zhong Hui has always been dissatisfied with Zhang Hua, after all, Zhang Hua is younger than him, and the promotion speed has exceeded that of Zhong Hui at the same age.
This made Zhong Hui a little uncomfortable with him all the time.
And now, although Zhang Hua does not have a title, he is directly the governor of the military and political affairs of Shudi, and he is holding the festival, where can Zhonghui still bear it?
Hearing Cao Chao's explanation, Zhong Hui said again: "Your Majesty, although Zhang Hua has some talents, he is so flattering and good at villain's skills, and he is useless!" β
"Besides, at his age, let him govern Shu, what will those officials of Shu think? They will feel that they are being belittled. β
Cao Chao didn't interrupt Zhong Hui, and listened to him finish his thoughts seriously.
Cao Chao then said: "Shi Ji, that's the case, originally, I wanted you to go to Shu to govern, but then I thought about it, all the things in this temple can't be gone, so I chose a person who can complete the order to go to Shu." β
"My idea is to discuss with you the policy of governing Shu, and then let him implement it."
"Shi Ji thinks Zhang Hua can't take on such a role?"
The bell would suddenly fall silent.
He hesitated for a moment, and his heart was also extremely entangled.
Of course, Zhong Hui knows Zhang Hua's talent, if it is said that he can complete what the temple commands, then Zhang Hua is definitely enough, but it's this kid.
Zhong Hui finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Before there is no suitable candidate, let him take the position." β
It can be seen that Zhong Hui also made this decision with great difficulty.
Zhong Hui listened to the emperor's praise here, and then hurriedly took his leave.
Cao Chao also knew that he still had a lot of people to meet, so he gave him a few days off so that he could fully show off.
After Zhong Hui walked out of the Taiji Palace, he went to his brother's mansion.
Zhong Yu is not alone at home, he stays with his predecessor Taichang Xiahouhe.
Xiahou He was transferred to the Imperial Historical Observatory to take up his post, and the next step may be to go to Jingnan and lead the governor of Jingnan.
He has a very good relationship with Zhong Yu.
Now that the Goshidai is not as busy as it used to be, he comes to talk to his friends.
However, the two drank some wine, and Zhong Hui walked into the mansion laughing.
Seeing this dirty thing, Zhong Yu only felt that his head was big.
"Brother! Xiahou Gong! β
Zhong will bow from afar, in fact, this is quite rude behavior, in the face of the elderly, it should be in front of him to worship, such a distant bow, it is a bit casual.
"I have returned from the destruction of Shu! Promoted to marquis, now he is a county marquis! β
Zhong Hui's voice is very loud.
Zhong Yu took a deep breath and looked at Xiahou He on the side, "My brother secretly drank some wine when he was young, so I hope you don't blame it."
Xiahou He's lips trembled, and he said with a smile: "Where is it, who doesn't know Zhong Shiji Dacai, it is your blessing to have such a younger brother!" β
Zhong Hui sat beside them with a smile, and he said to Xiahou He: "In the past, I only thought that you were a middle-class talent, but I didn't expect that you also had some talents. β
Zhong Yu's face suddenly darkened.
Xiahou He had no idea of continuing to drink, so he had to say goodbye to Zhong Yu and leave.
Zhong Yu helplessly sent Xiahou He all the way to the door, and apologized sincerely.
After sending Xiahou He away, Zhong Yu only felt tired.
It's been many years, Zhong Hui is crazy about destroying the connections left by his father, and he is constantly tinkering, and if he continues like this, he should have no friends at home.
After sending this person out, Zhong Yu returned through gritted teeth, only to see Zhong Hui eating and drinking.
"Do you have to offend all my friends?! Xiahou Gong is an important minister of the clan, and His Majesty intends to release him as a governor, how can you?"
"Brother, let's have less contact."
Zhong Hui glanced at him and said seriously: "The Wu Kingdom can't hold out for too long, once the Wu Kingdom is destroyed, Your Majesty will deal with a family like you next!" β
"A ??? like me"
Zhong Yu was so angry that he sneered and said, "What, are you going to change your surname?" β
Zhong Hui said calmly: "I didn't say that, brother, if the Sima family is in power, the more friends the better, everyone supports each other and promotes each other, but now, it is Your Majesty who is in power, and Your Majesty will soon clean up these big clans."
"At this time, the more friends you have, the faster you die, and you don't even know how you died, so you may be involved in some rebellion case."
"Brother, be careful."
Zhong Yu finally didn't refute Zhong Hui this time, Zhong Yu knew what Zhong Hui knew, Zhong Yu knew better than him.
He sat in front of Zhong Hui and looked at his younger brother who was not in front of him.
"I'm not afraid that these friends will bring disaster to me, I'm afraid that you will bring disaster to the clan, and now Your Majesty is too much favor for you, which makes you more and more presumptuous, ignoring the etiquette and law, even if one day, you will cause me a big disaster"
Zhong Hui didn't care, he had been listening to these words for almost ten years.
When he sent his father's protΓ©gΓ© to prison, his brother began to say so.
Zhong Hui cleared his throat, "Brother, don't say this again, there's a big matter, I want to discuss it with you"
"Say it."
"I want an heir."
"Ahem, cough, cough~~"
Zhong Yu coughed violently, he quickly calmed down and looked at Zhong Hui.
"You've finally figured it out?"
"Okay, you should have started a family, you should have started a family a long time ago, I've always been worried about this matter You don't know alas, what is said about you outside, you have never been married, I don't have the face to see my father when I die, I'll arrange it for you now!!"
Zhong Hui shook his head, "Brother, I'm not trying to get married. β
"These private matters will only affect my achievements, but they will not benefit me, I am just thinking, you have so many sons, can you give me one so that you can inherit my title?"
"Wouldn't it be a pity if such a good title of mine were lost after my death?"
The smile on Zhong Yu's face suddenly froze.
He took a deep breath.
"Get the !!! out of me"
