The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 57 It has nothing to do with me!!
Wang Su was Sima Zhao's father-in-law.

Sima Zhao still respected his father-in-law very much.

But when Jia Chong pointed out these things, Sima Zhao's heart was no longer calm.

Jia Chong was a man who valued his life very much.

In order to save his life, he would do anything. In history, in order to avoid going to the battlefield, he made a huge joke and turned himself into a joke.

At this moment, in order to avoid taking the blame, he hurriedly and frantically pushed all the blame onto Wang Su.

He didn't care whether doing so would cause greater conflicts or whether it would undermine the alliance between the aristocratic families and the Sima family. He just wanted to survive.

In order to survive, he even ignored his mother and son, so how could he care about the interests of the damn Sima family?
Jia Chong spoke very confidently, as if that was what he thought, but he did not make a final conclusion, giving himself room to maneuver.

Sima Zhao fell silent at this moment.

What reason did Wang Su have to do this?
In fact, Sima Zhao had doubted Wang Su at the beginning. He wondered whether Wang Su was as eager to make progress as the other ministers at that time.

He was his father-in-law and the grandfather of Sima You and Sima Yan.

If his family takes another step forward, he seems to benefit the most.

But the problem is that it is not time for us to take the next step.

The external military leaders have not been dealt with yet, but he is thinking about taking further steps. This is foolishness. He Sima Zhao is not Yuan Shu!

However, the prince has a good reputation and is a cautious person, so why would he be so anxious?
"General, these are my personal opinions. I am not saying that it was done by the prince. The prince's reputation is known to everyone in the world."

"I heard that Zhu Jianping once said that the prince lived a long life and held the position of one of the Three Dukes, and that this was certainly not something someone like me could criticize."

Sima Zhao just felt a little confused.

"Mr. Jia, please go back first. Keep an eye on the emperor and I will handle these matters."

"only!!"

Having said this, Jia Chong stood up and left.

After he left, Sima Zhao sneered. Du Yu walked in from the side door as usual and sat next to him.

"Yuan Kai, my brother said at the beginning that this person can be used but not reused. I still don't understand."

"Now I know that this person is not real."

"He's hiding something. Even if he wasn't the one leaking the information, you can't trust his words."

Du Yu never spoke ill of others, and at this moment he just remained silent.

"Yuan Kai, who do you think did this?"

Du Yu hesitated for a moment.

"I think that instead of investigating who did it, it would be better to find a way to make amends."

Sima Zhao glanced at him and said distressedly, "How can we make amends? This matter has spread like wildfire in Luoyang and everyone knows about it."

"Guanqiu Jian must have known about this. Even if we close the city gates and prohibit entry and exit, it won't work."

"This plot is incredibly vicious. Zhuge Dan has always valued his reputation. If it's said that he betrayed Xiahou Xuan for his own title and met privately with the general, how could he remain silent?"

"This has caught Zhuge Dan's weak spot. Guanqiu Jian knows that Zhuge Dan is meeting with his brother, so he will definitely be more cautious."

Sima Zhao immediately put on a mask of pain.

"Once my brother finds out about this, I will definitely be punished."

"My brother entrusted me with the affairs of Luoyang, but I failed to live up to his high expectations."

Just as Sima Zhao was complaining, a soldier came in and reported, "General, Xun Jun wants to see you!"

There are many members of the Xun family in the temple. Since the development of the Xun family's eight dragons, the Xun family has long become a behemoth in the temple, and almost no one dares to provoke it.

But for Sima Zhao, there was only one Xun Jun.

That is Xun Xu, who is not very old.

"Let him in!"

Sima Zhao glanced at Du Yu, and Du Yu hurriedly left through the side door.

Xun Xu walked in here, hurriedly saluted Sima Zhao, and then sat down beside him respectfully.

"General, I'm in the city and have heard some bad rumors."

Sima Zhao frowned. "It's just some rumors, not worth mentioning!"

Xun Xu whispered, "General, I do have a way to dispel this rumor."

"Oh?"

"What's the solution?" "If the general could write a petition in defense of Xiahou Gong, wouldn't this rumor be self-defeating?"

"Now everyone is insulting General Zhuge, saying that General Zhuge betrayed his friends and the scholars of the world for his own benefit. At this time, if you can stand up, the scholars of the world will stand on your side."

"General, please think carefully. No one dares to mention this matter because they are afraid of the general."

"Rehabilitation is extremely detrimental to the general, but it will not harm you. I was promoted by you, so even though I am afraid, I must tell you."

Xun Xu said seriously, "If we don't dispel this rumor, General Zhuge Liang will probably never serve again. On the contrary, if we can fight for Xiahou Gong, then Guanqiu Jian will have no reason to rebel against the court. If the emperor issues an order, will he dare to disobey?"

"If he doesn't obey, then everyone in the world will rise up and attack him. All the scholars in the world will stand on your side to fight him."

Xun Xu's words were extremely tempting.

His expression was very sincere, as if everything he said was for Sima Zhao's sake, and he was willing to risk his life for Sima Zhao.

Sima Zhao sneered in his heart.

This fucking thing again.

Sima Zhao certainly understood the other party's intentions. Why would Xiahou Xuan get so much support?

It’s not because of how good my relationship with him is, nor because of how high Xiahou Xuan’s reputation is.

They just wanted to separate individuals from clans and pull out the sharp knife in the hands of the Sima family. Individuals and clans can share happiness but not share hardships. They wanted to bring up the principle of "no punishment for doctors" again.

Sima Zhao knew the pros and cons of this matter. He simply expressed his admiration for Xun Xu on the surface, but did not ask any further questions.

Xun Xu was also cautious. He only said a few words and then changed the topic to another direction.

"Your Majesty is a man of great literary talent. The poem you composed today is truly admirable."

"Poetry? What poem?"

Sima Zhao obviously didn't know about this.

Xun Xu was stunned for a moment, then began to explain, "I heard that this morning, Ruan Changshi and Your Majesty drank and wrote poetry. Ruan Changshi got drunk and left the palace early to meet up with many friends in the city to continue drinking. While they were drinking, Ruan Changshi mentioned the poem Your Majesty had written today. Everyone was very impressed and praised your literary talent."

Sima Zhao's heart trembled, and he already had a very bad premonition.

"what is it call?"

"General Kongchengque, look."

Xun Xu hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Sima Zhao in front of him.

Sima Zhao lowered his head and took a look, his mentality instantly exploded.

"Someone come! Bring Ruan Ji to me!"

"General!! No way!!"

Xun Xu hurriedly grabbed his hand, his eyes filled with fear, "General, calm down! This has nothing to do with you! It really has nothing to do with you!"

Sima Zhao let out a breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Ruan Ji was a famous scholar in the world, but he couldn't take action himself.

He lowered his head and looked at the poem in his hand again, "Well written!"

“It’s so well written!!!”

Cao Mao slowly sat up, yawned, and looked outside.

Jiao Bo, who was standing outside the door, smiled and nodded at him.

Cao Mao pretended not to see it and rubbed his eyes.

In the past few days, Cao Mao and Jiao Bo communicated through eye contact and even some code words. He mixed these code words with the nonsense because he didn't believe that these few people around him could remember them.

If nothing unexpected happened, Jia Chong should be scared half to death by himself now, right?
Given Jia Chong's cowardly, selfish character, if something like this happened, he would most likely not report it truthfully and would most likely look for a scapegoat.

No matter who he pulled down, it would not do any harm to Cao Mao.

It would be better to pull that guy Wang Su in and let himself watch a wonderful showdown between the aristocratic families.

Cao Mao called Li Sheng in and asked him how long he had slept.

After learning the answer, he looked towards the door.

"Zhao Cheng! Go and invite Lord Jia over! Tell him I have something very important to tell him!"

Zhao Cheng quickly agreed and fled from here.

Zhao Cheng is different from the eunuchs. He is from a poor family, but a poor family is still a family, and he is not someone those eunuchs can cheat.

He was really scared now. He didn't want to stay here anymore. The palace was too scary!

Nai Gong will leave tomorrow!!
