Chapter 77: Seven Sages Can Help Peace
Chapter 77 Seven Sages Can Help Peace
After arranging the emperor's affairs, Zhong Hui prepared to leave.
After taking a few steps, Zhong Hui suddenly stopped and looked at the eunuchs.
Then he waved his hand and a soldier came to his side.
"After all, Lord Jia is a man of high rank. It would be inappropriate for him to travel alone. Let the four eunuchs who serve the emperor accompany him so that they can be looked after along the way."
The soldier nodded.
"Then the eunuchs and guards are right?"
Zhong Hui frowned and stared at the soldier angrily, not disguising the murderous intent in his eyes. "Do you think the wise men in the world are the same as these eunuchs?"
The soldier was frightened and quickly apologized.
Zhong Hui's eyes were full of disdain. He glanced at him, turned around and left.
Only a group of soldiers were left to clean up the Tai Chi Hall that was contaminated by blood.
Zhong Hui is different from Jia Chong. He still has some of the temperament of a Han scholar-official, although not much.
Unless they really provoke him, he is quite friendly to the scholars.
The soldier, who was now the new head of the guards responsible for protecting Cao Mao, looked at Zhong Hui's arrogant look with some resentment in his eyes.
If Cao Mao were here, he would be able to recognize him.
This person was Cheng Ji from Sima Zhao's mansion.
Cao Mao was taken back to Xitang and settled down.
When Cao Mao slowly opened his eyes, someone spoke immediately.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Do not be afraid!"
At this moment, the person standing in front of Cao Mao was a eunuch whom Cao Mao did not know at all.
Cao Mao frowned, "Who are you?"
"Your Majesty, my maidservant's surname is Xu. I fear my humble name may offend Your Majesty. I am here to serve Your Majesty."
"So it's Mr. Xu. Where are Mr. Li and the others? Where are they?"
"They were transferred to other places."
Most of the eunuchs in the palace were not worthy of having a name, unless they could hold a very high official position. Of course, under the system of the Wei Dynasty, it was basically impossible for eunuchs to get ahead. The scholars had a deep conflict with the eunuchs, which lasted for many years. The two party imprisonments made the scholars unforgettable.
Sheng refers to young people, for example, Li Sheng is a young man with the surname Li, and Xu Sheng is a young man with the surname Xu. If they are older, like the eunuchs who have some qualifications and power like the Empress Dowager, they are generally called Laogong.
After hearing the other party's answer, Cao Mao was silent for a moment.
Li Zhao and others might still be able to survive, but the four eunuchs are probably gone.
In the eyes of these big families, the lives of the lower class people seem so insignificant that they can be strangled to death at any time without any concern.
Although the four of them were ordered by Jia Chong to supervise him, they had been together for some time and were suddenly executed. Cao Mao felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
The rabbit dies and the fox mourns? Perhaps that's not quite the right word, but it does feel a bit strangely melancholy.
Zhong Hui replaced everyone around him.
Once again, I became a lonely person.
These people all looked a little scared. They must have understood that serving the emperor was a high-risk job.
Cao Mao had never seen them in the palace. It seemed that Sima Shi had been replaced completely.
I don’t know where he found so many people. They can’t have been castrated, right?
Cao Mao wrote down their names and began to ponder.
Jia Chong's death was probably the happiest thing for Cao Mao in recent days.
Cao Mao had wanted to kill this insect as early as in Yuancheng. Finally, he avenged Guo Ze and took his life!
Once this guy dies, Jia Nanfeng will never come to power again.
Even though he has been executed by Sima Shi, it has changed something, right?
This bastard died at the hands of Sima Shi, whom he had always been licking. I believe he died without any regrets.
But Cao Mao couldn't show his happiness, at least not yet.
Although Jia Chong died, a more deadly person, Zhong Hui, came.
Compared with Jia Chong, Zhong Hui was simply a crushing defeat.
Jia Chong only climbed up the ladder by flattery, but Zhong Hui was a truly capable minister. Moreover, compared to Jia Chong, Zhong Hui had almost no leverage. At present, it seemed more difficult to kill him than to anger Sima Shi to death.
With such a person keeping an eye on him instead of Jia Chong, the danger he would face in the future would probably be even greater.
But when Cao Mao walked out of the door, he found that Sima Shi was far more shameless than he had thought. Of course, this might also be arranged by Zhong Hui.
These four eunuchs all came from Hanoi.
The two eunuchs at the door both had the surname Sima.
Isn't that guard outside Cheng Ji?
You've turned Taiji Hall into Sima Mansion! Cao Mao took a deep breath and walked towards them.
"Cheng Jun!!!"
After Sima Shi returned to the temple, Luoyang became strangely quiet.
Jia Chong's sudden death caused a huge sensation.
His crimes made everyone feel a little unbelievable.
Is this true? ?
Why would he do that??
General Zhuge Dan's son also appeared in public in Luoyang, claiming that he had been instructed by Jia Chong to go hunting outside the city a few days ago and was unaware of what was happening inside the city.
All this seemed to confirm Jia Chong's guilt.
In the entire court, no one came to speak up for Jia Chong.
Only Jia Chong's wife was still crying about this matter and wrote a letter to the emperor demanding severe punishment for Zhong Hui, otherwise she would write a letter to her uncle.
Unfortunately, her family didn't seem to think so and sent someone to take her back overnight.
The daughter born to Jia Chong and his first wife, as well as Jia Chong's mother, were all taken away by her, which was quite a show of affection.
According to some unconvincing news, the emperor was so sad about Jia Chong's death that he stayed in the West Hall to recuperate for several days and did not go out. He still has nightmares and is in a very bad condition.
These rumors became more and more numerous, and some even said that the emperor had died but the general had kept the news a secret.
At this moment, in the West Hall, Sima Yan was sitting on the edge of the bed with a frown on his face.
"Mr. Zhong, you are such a jerk! If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why bring me here to be beheaded?"
"That bloody thing scared me just by hearing it!"
As Sima Yan spoke, his body trembled and he looked at Cao Mao in front of him with some heartache.
Cao Mao curled up on the bed and looked really bad.
If the general wants to scare me, I have to be afraid. If Zhong Hui wants to scare me by beheading him in front of me, then I have to be scared.
When Cao Mao first saw the bloody scene, he was indeed very frightened, but he also had a sense of satisfaction at having avenged his great hatred. The person who was beheaded was that bastard Jia Chong. Killing such a bastard would not scare Cao Mao to faint.
However, since Zhong Hui has given me the stage, I have to cooperate with him.
Zhong Hui's only problem was that he was overly arrogant and looked down on others.
Talented people may have some of these problems.
Even Deng Ai and Sima Zhao were looked down upon by him, let alone himself?
But when facing Zhong Hui, we cannot be as careless as we were with Jia Chong. We must be timid when necessary, praise him highly, and then wait for him to fall.
Cao Mao looked at Sima Yan in front of him and said with some fear: "Anshi, please stop talking. I haven't slept well for a single day since that incident."
"Your Majesty, do not be afraid. Jia Chong is a traitor, and this is what he deserves!"
"You don't know, do you? This bastard actually wanted to marry his daughter to my brother. I only found out about this after he died. Tell me, what is his intention?"
Sima Yan's face looked very ugly.
Cao Mao's eyes widened. "So there is such a thing!"
Sima Yan whispered, "Your Majesty was right when he said we should be wary of him! This fellow is truly a traitor!"
Cao Mao looked around and whispered again, "Zhong Hui, who executed him, was a cruel and arrogant man. He only respected the general and looked down on everyone else. Moreover, he was still very young. An Shi must not let him get hold of anything!"
Sima Yan nodded thoughtfully.
Cao Mao added, "Judging from Jia Chong's thoughts, there are quite a few people in the court who want to support Sima You to inherit the position of general. Anshi, as the legitimate son, you must win over some trustworthy people and get them to fully support you."
"You have seen my situation. There are people like Zhong Hui in the court. If your father insists on enthroning Sima You in the future, I can't help you much."
Sima Yan felt helpless.
The relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, and they can say many things directly.
He sighed deeply, "I also want to win them over, but I don't have any official position or reputation. How can I get them to support me?"
Cao Mao smiled and said, "Given Anshi's current position, it is indeed difficult for him to win over the ministers. However, the empire is not just made up of ministers. Does Anshi know the story of Emperor Hui of Han?"
"Emperor Hui of Han? Do you want me to marry my niece?"
"Well, that's not the case. Emperor Gaozu of Han wanted to make Prince Ruyi of Zhao the emperor, but Emperor Hui's uncle found four famous scholars on his behalf. When these four scholars expressed their support for Emperor Hui, Emperor Gaozu abandoned his original idea and allowed Emperor Hui to succeed him."
Sima Yan's eyes lit up. "I see! Then where should I go to find those four people?"
"Four people are nothing. I can find seven people for Anshi. If I can get the support of these seven people, the General of the Western Expedition will definitely not consider anyone else."
Sima Yan was overjoyed and held Cao Mao's hand tightly.
"Your Majesty's kindness, I will definitely repay you!"
