Chapter 153: Joy
What should I call it?
For several days, Cao Chao was thinking about this question.
It was also for several days in a row, Cao Chao was dealing with this little guy, and the little guy's eyes could be opened, but he was just lying still, and he didn't react to the outside world.
can't stand Cao Chao's liking, sometimes, the emperor doesn't do anything, just sit next to the little guy and watch him fall asleep, which is how it makes people feel happy.
This is the first time that Cao Chao has put down national affairs.
Well, of course, it can't be said that what Cao Chao is doing now is a trivial matter.
This is Cao Chao's eldest son, and he is likely to be the future crown prince and new emperor of Great Wei, as long as he does not die prematurely and does not rebel, the inheritance is stable.
It is also reasonable for Cao Chao to attach importance to him.
Cao Chao wants to name his son these days, but Cao Chao, who has read more than 10,000 books, seems to have no talent in this regard.
This name cannot be obtained too easily, because his inheritance is too high, and if the name is too simple, it will be very troublesome to ascend the throne later, and there are a lot of things to avoid.
And you have to think about the implications.
Just when Cao Chao was still looking at his boy, Zhong Hui's voice came from outside.
Cao Chao immediately sent a eunuch to bring that guy in, so as not to have any more conflicts between Chengji and him.
Zhong Hui walked into the west hall and bowed to Cao Chao, who smiled and motioned for him to come closer.
Zhong Hui slowly walked to the emperor's side, lowered his head, and saw the sleeping little guy.
Zhong Hui suddenly realized, in Cao Chao's puzzled eyes, Zhong Hui began to seriously examine the little guy, from head to toe, and even wanted to open his mouth to take a look.
Cao Chao hurriedly grabbed him, and he said with some displeasure, "What is Shi Ji doing?"
Zhong Hui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister is just curious."
Cao Chao felt that this guy was probably checking whether the future prince had hidden dangers or defects, but Cao Chao didn't say anything.
Zhong Hui followed Cao Chao for a while, and then felt bored.
Zhong Hui does not like children, and may even dislike women, and he will look at this child a few more times, just because the child may become the heir in the future.
Cao Chao made the palace maid optimistic about herself, and she took Zhonghui to discuss important matters.
Zhong Hui said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know, these days, the ministers of the court and the central government have been extremely busy, and they have gone to see Wang Chang, Zhuge Dan and others."
Cao Chao glanced at him suspiciously, "What are you doing to meet them?"
"I hope they will come forward to advise Your Majesty."
"Counsel?"
Zhong Hui explained: "They feel that His Majesty is too fond of children, which is not right, and they can't delay the world's major events because of children, let alone spoil and indulge children too much."
"Pampering indulgence?? He doesn't have a name yet!"
Zhong Hui was very calm, and he said, "Your Majesty also has to understand these people, they really have no other ability, let alone other things to do."
The Son of Heaven has no family affairs, and the ministers keep an eye on all the big and small things of the emperor, and in terms of teaching the prince, the ministers generally do not want the emperor to pamper the children.
After all, in the family education of this era, the father must be a serious image, and the father and the son must be like a king and a minister.
The relationship between the king and the ministers is also very delicate, and at this moment, the relationship between father and son is not used to describe the monarch and the minister, but the relationship between husband and wife is generally used to describe the monarch and the minister.
Many ministers are depressed, so they like to write about women who are not favored.
After sitting down, Zhong Huifang talked about his important matter.
"Your Majesty, the minister of Wu has written to me in private and wants to submit to me."
As soon as Zhong Hui sat down, he took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Cao Chao in front of him.
There were two periods of time in Eastern Wu, and there were many ministers who defected, respectively during the reign of Sun Qi and the reign of Sun Hao.
The difference is that when Sun Qi was in power, defection was an individual act, and it was usual
It was to take his cronies directly on the boat and run to the Wei State, but in the Sun Hao period, he directly led the private army to run together, unless there was an enmity, otherwise he would not leave the clansmen behind.
Sun Hao began to exert his strength gradually, and there were already ministers in Wu who began to want to flee to Wei.
With the strength of Wei, the decline of Wu has become more and more obvious, and the benevolence of the new emperor Sun Hao is also a kind of help.
After Sun Hao ascended the throne, the life of the important ministers of the big clan became more flavorful.
Sun Hao completely ended their original boring life and brought them many unexpected surprises.
Sun Hao forcibly demanded that the officials of the country of 2,000 stone and above should send their daughters to the palace, and held banquets every day, forcing the ministers to drink, and they must drink enough seven liters.
If it's a young person, forget it, think about the old people of those big clans, they are a lot older, where can they eat seven liters of wine?
Where can it withstand Sun Hao's toss?
The situation in the upper and lower kingdoms of Wu is very divided, those farmers who were sent back, and the soldiers who were rewarded are all sighing for this good emperor and looking forward to the future life, and these nobles in the upper class are simply living in horror movies, maybe any behavior will kill you.
Cao Chao took the letter and read it carefully for a long time before asking, "Who wrote it?"
"I heard that he is the son of Shangshu Xiongmu, and he is a speaker in Wu."
"Shangshu Xiong Mu advised Sun Hao, hoping that he could kill less, so Sun Hao had him beaten into pulp with the hilt of a knife."
Cao Chao was also silent for a long time at the moment.
Shangshu, just because of the persuasion, he was directly hammered into meat puree??
Zhong Hui added at this moment: "This person said that he wanted to come to my Great Wei, but I didn't let him come in a hurry, I think that if he stays in Wu State, he may be more helpful to us Sun Hao, this guy is really unpredictable."
"Originally, he only did it to the big clans and favored ministers, and he paid tribute to those who were in high positions."
"Up to now, even Shangshu, who does practical things, has been hammered to death by him, and I think it won't be long before even people like Shi Ji will be persecuted by him."
Cao Chao did not refute.
Sun Hao is a person with strong plasticity and growth, he began to torture others after a month on the throne, and this range is gradually spreading, at first he was just doing some big clans and close servants, and then expanded to the courtiers, and then it will expand to the generals, and finally even the people at the bottom can not escape.
Historical facts record that Sun Hao's concubine's cronies were robbing the people outside, and some officials found out about this behavior, so they disposed of the concubine's cronies, and then Sun Hao asked the saw to be burned red, and then the official's head was given off.
Later, Sun Hao even cut off the head of an official because his reputation was too good, according to Sun Hao, if his political performance and reputation are so good, he must be winning over the people and wanting to rebel!
The good ones are killed, the bad ones are killed, and no one can escape anyway, they all have to die.
Zhong Hui said in a low voice: "The minister also heard that Sun Hao is a person who believes in the theory of ghosts and gods very much, and often summons some monks and asks them to help him govern the world, which is also a place where we can use it."
"At present, it is not good for Great Wei to continue to use troops, and the minister thinks that he can take the opportunity to win over the big clans and important ministers in Wu to find a way to provoke Sun Hao, a madman, and let him kill a few more and recover Jiangdong as soon as possible."
Zhong Hui and Cao Chao are both eager to complete the unification at the moment.
But as far as the current Wu State is concerned, they are like a turtle with a shrunken head, defending in an all-round way, relying on favorable terrain, if they want to attack, even if they can beat it, they are afraid that the cost will be too huge.
Zhong Hui's idea was to take the route of internal destruction and let him die in his shell.
As for Cao Chao, although he was also anxious to complete the unification, he was still patient, and it was not too late to send troops after the construction of the big ships in various places was completed and there were sufficient preparations.
After the destruction of Shu in history, Sima Zhao hoped to seek a stable situation here in Wu because of a series of great turmoil, and also sent people to envoy Wu to make friends with Sun Hao
Good interview, although Sun Hao still killed people later, the interview was still conducted.
The reason why Sun Hao has been able to govern in Wu for many years, in addition to the reason why he has been gradual, is that the local Wei and Jin dynasties are also very bad.
Everyone was comparing each other, Sun Hao killed all sides in Wu State, but Wei and Jin at that time were not much better.
The ministers all worked desperately to stop Sima Yan from crusading against the Wu State, until the destruction of the Wu State.
It's just that now, the Great Wei under Cao Chao doesn't need to maintain a stable situation with the Wu State at all, and the idea of the Wei State wanting great unification is well known to everyone!
There is simply no room for détente on both sides.
When Dawei was actively preparing for the war, being able to weaken the other party was also what Cao Chao was happy to see.
Cao Chao still let Zhong Hui take full responsibility for this matter, under Sun Hao's governance, there will be more and more people who want to submit to the Great Wei, and their internal will sooner or later become a sieve, there will always be a chance to kill him, the current north is not the Western Jin Dynasty with a bunch of bad things in history, just like Sun Hao, Cao Chao let him stay in power for more than three years is a humiliation to himself!
The two of them talked about other things.
Before leaving, Zhong Hui finally remembered the question of the prince's name.
"Has Your Majesty ever chosen a name for His Highness?"
Cao Chao hesitated for a moment before replying, "In the end, Wen and Hui, Shu Shen wants to choose a warm word for him."
Zhong Hui thought for a moment, "It's enough for a nickname!"
Zhong Hui left here in a hurry, and Cao Chao came to his son's side again.
Cao Wen.
Maybe this name is a little too ordinary? Will it be troublesome to avoid it in the future?
Just when Cao Chao was holding the little one, the palace maid came in and told Cao Chao that she could finally go to see the queen.
Cao Chao took the child and went to the queen's side, and when the two walked in together, Zheng Xian looked good and looked forward to it.
Seeing the child in Cao Chao's arms, Zheng Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty"
Cao Chao also smiled at this moment and handed the child to Zheng Xian.
Cheerful laughter came from inside the Changqiu Palace.
