Chapter 183: Drink for Your Majesty
"Lord Wu bows his head, the world is unified, congratulations to His Majesty on completing the great cause!!"
The envoy read Hu Zun's last sentence aloud.
The ministers stood up suddenly, and they all bowed in the direction of Cao Chao.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!! Accomplish the Great Cause!! ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!!"
The ministers saluted and shouted, and Cao Chao just sat on the top seat, grinning and smirking.
Cao Chao never thought that things would go so smoothly, he just told Wen Qin to take Qichun County, who would have thought that such an attack would actually take down the entire Wu Kingdom.
These generals seem to be holding back the fire in their stomachs, and when they watched Zhuge Dan lead the army in the northwest to destroy Shu, the great achievement of destroying the country, they were itching to see it, and this time they had the opportunity, so they went all out and destroyed the Wu State.
This is much faster than Cao Chao thought.
Cao Chao thought that it would take at least three years to destroy the state of Wu.
The performance of several generals made Cao Chao extremely satisfied.
Hu Zun, who had always longed for the position of general, took the initiative to give up the right to attack, and deceived the army of Wu State around him by feints, delaying their army.
It created an opportunity for Biqiu Jian and Wen Qin to attack.
And Wen Qin, who has always been irritable, was able to settle down and fight a protracted battle with Shi Ji, and did not charge recklessly and charged.
The most admirable thing is Biqiu Jian.
This famous general of the Great Wei Dynasty, who was deeply loved by the emperor, did not live up to Cao Chao's expectations.
He almost wiped out the state of Wu with the strength of one person, and the lone army went deeper than a thousand miles, pursued the emperor of the state of Wu, defeated wave after wave of enemies along the way, and in the end even went into battle lightly, reproducing a wave of Ding Feng's tactics at the beginning, and directly captured Sun Hao.
Every time Cao Chao saw this, he couldn't help but get excited.
God give me a famous general!!
The state of Wu perished like this, and Cao Chao's mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.
Cao Chao looked at the ministers in front of him, and immediately said: "When I received the edict of the Queen Mother, I wanted to succeed Emperor Liezu and become the lord of the world, I was very nervous, for fear that I would live up to the high hopes of the Queen Mother, not be able to inherit the great cause of the ancestors, and even more disappointed by the loyalty of the court. ”
"And inform the world of this order, pardon the sinners below the great pardon, and discuss the rest of the things after Sun Hao comes to Luoyang!"
The ministers bowed again, and then walked out of the Taiji Hall one after another.
The ministers are very happy, the completion of the great unification is simply what they dream of, the Three Kingdoms era is over, and the new era opened up by the Great Wei Shengwang will officially arrive.
No matter which minister it is, his face is full of smiles and incomparably happy at the moment.
They talked to each other and left the place laughing and laughing.
And Cao Chao had just returned to Xitang, and the ministers followed him, and there were still quite a few people who wanted to see the emperor at this moment.
And the first to come to Cao Chao was of course Zhong Shiji.
At this moment, Zhonghui actually looks a little depressed.
Cao Chao has completed such a great feat, Zhong Hui said that it is false to be unhappy, after all, completing the great unification is the most basic operation for the Holy King, and Cao Chao, the Holy King, can only create the prosperous era he wants after completing the great unification, and Zhong Hui will be able to display all his talents.
But what makes Zhong Hui feel uncomfortable is that this unification has nothing to do with him!!
He didn't even take any credit for it.
Zhong Hui cares a lot about whether things are successful, but it must be something that he is involved in, if he has not participated, it is successful, and Zhong Hui will not feel happy.
It's so selfish.
Cao Chao's thoughts about Zhonghui in his heart were Menqing.
He smiled and asked Zhong Hui to sit beside him, "Shiji, the southern kingdom has been pacified, and then it is time for our monarchs and ministers to govern the world and open up a prosperous era, I decided to bring that Sun Hao to Luoyang, let him tell his many mistakes, and personally cut off his head to sacrifice to the ancestors, indicating that the world has been pacified!" ”
When Zhong Hui heard this, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! Cannot! ”
"The state of Wu has just been pacified, and the southerners have not been able to get His Majesty's kindness for a long time, at this time, they can't easily kill their king, otherwise it will cause even greater turmoil!"
Cao Chao was a little displeased, "When I pacified the Shu Kingdom, Shi Ji persuaded me, saying that the Wu Kingdom had not yet been pacified, and asked me to treat Liu Chan well!" ”
"Now that the state of Wu has been pacified, Shi Ji will not allow me to kill Sun Hao!"
"Now that I have completed the unification of the king, can't I still kill the defeated puppet emperor?!"
"I want to burn down Sun Hao's palace! Migrate all their clans to Liaodong! Let Sun Hao's concubines all come to the palace to serve me! ”
Zhong Hui hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, the state of Wu has just been pacified, this is the time when benevolence is most needed, and the people of the south should feel Your Majesty's benevolence." ”
"Many ministers in the south are because they know that Your Majesty treats Liu Chan well, so they surrender easily, if you are not good for Sun Hao, then those ministers who are loyal to him will rise up in rebellion, even if they are not our opponents, they will cause great trouble, and it is definitely not a good thing for the temple!"
"Please keep the palace of Jianye, properly settle the clan of Wu, pardon the captives of Wu, release the generals who were captured, exempt Wu's taxes, and send generous ministers to govern."
"The affairs of the southern kingdom are very important, Your Majesty can send a respectable and generous old man over there, and allow him to deal with local affairs without waiting for your edict, just like Zhang Hua, so that the people of Wu can be quickly restored."
Zhong Hui gave a lot of advice.
Cao Chao suddenly realized, and then he said: "If it weren't for Shi Ji, I would have almost made a big mistake, just as Shi Ji said!" ”
Zhong Hui looked up, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
Although there is no credit for the destruction of the Wu State, there is finally something to be done on the issue of the aftermath.
It's not bad either, it's better than nothing.
Cao Chao doesn't care at all about the impact these things will have on his reputation after they are passed on to future generations, it would be good if he could do the things in front of him, and he would care about the things in the future!
Cao Chao looked at Zhong Hui with a face full of enjoyment, and asked, "Shi Ji didn't say why he came to me for something." ”
Zhong Hui cleared his throat, "There is nothing else, it is for this aftermath, since His Majesty has adopted the advice of the minister, then the minister has nothing else to do!" ”
Cao Chao sent Zhong Hui all the way to the door, and as soon as Zhong Hui left, the next minister walked in.
It was Cao Chao's number one minister who came, Wang Chang.
Wang Chang's face was furious.
"How can that be?! Outrageous?! ”
Cao Chao was a little surprised, he didn't participate in this war of annihilation, Zhong Hui was angry, even if he was angry, what is your situation?
You're not like Zhong Hui! Don't let him influence you!
Wang Chang saluted Cao Chao, and then said angrily: "Your Majesty, please cure the crimes of the Zhong Society!" ”
"Huh? What crime did he commit? ”
"The minister just came to see His Majesty, and just as he was about to go in, this guy bumped into him, almost knocked the old minister down, and then broke into this hall!!"
Cao Chao suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
This meeting with Cao Chao in the West Hall also has to pay attention to the order.
It stands to reason that Wang Chang, who is the third prince and the book order, has to be ranked first, even if the rest of the three princes come, they are not qualified to enter in front of him.
As a result, Zhong Hui not only wanted to go in, but also almost knocked down Wang Chang in front of him.
It's really a matter of what kind of system it is.
Cao Chao only felt a headache.
How nice it would be for the people under his command to be like Biqiu Jian, who are these people!!
He had no choice but to appease: "Please don't be angry, I will send someone to reprimand Zhonghui, let him come to you to ask for sin, and his brother, I will also punish him for the crime of not teaching!" ”
Hearing Cao Chao's words, Wang Chang's anger eased a little.
After his anger subsided, Wang Chang didn't care so much, after all, he couldn't know what Zhonghui was.
It is useless to deal with such a person, unless it is to cut off his head!
Zhong Hui used to have a lot of respect for Wang Chang, and felt that Wang Chang was a celebrity, but now he doesn't even care too much about Wang Chang, after all, Zhong Hui now feels that he is a real celebrity.
Wang Chang got down to business.
"Your Majesty, this southern country needs someone to guard it, and the minister proposed to let Chen Tai and Wang Jing go over there, one person is responsible for governance, and the other is responsible for supervision."
Wang Chang also talked about his reasons, first of all, Chen Tai has experience in governing the local area, he has been in Shangshutai for many years, he is introverted, generous, and good in all aspects, and Wang Jing is fair and strong, one person governs, one person checks, so he can best govern the local area.
Now that Shangshutai has been fully formed, there is no need for two servants to be in charge, and Chen Tai can just be promoted.
Cao Chao was very satisfied with Wang Chang's proposal.
Now that the ministers under his command are of high quality, Cao Chao doesn't need to think about many things, and the ministers have already been arranged.
Cao Chao said again: "General Wang Ji can also sit in Jianye, General Wang is the best at governing the place, these three people, respectively in charge of the government, the army, and the prison, then I can have no worries." ”
After the negotiation was confirmed, Wang Chang left the palace.
Wang Chang had just returned to his house when he saw a person standing at the door respectfully, waiting for him to arrive.
The person who came was Zhong Yu.
Wang Chang's face was still a little angry, and he deliberately pretended not to see him and was about to pass by him, but Zhong Yu hurriedly saluted.
"Prince, my brother is stubborn and offended you, this is all because of my lax discipline, I hope you don't want to be angry, I specially came to make amends"
Zhong Yu said very helplessly, and his words were full of bitterness.
Wang Chang listened and couldn't bear to blame him.
"I know that your father died young, but as the eldest brother, you should discipline him like your father and teach him how to be a man! How can you be so indulgent? It was because of your connivance that he became such a bad character today! ”
"Your father will not forgive you if he learns!"
Zhong Yu said cautiously: "Prince, I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future, and I hope you will forgive him this time."
