contend

In today's Jiangdong, Zhong Hui is not actually in power.

For so many years in the Wu Kingdom, the exercise of power has its own rules.

Zhong Hui is now only adding to this set of rules, not breaking them.

When the [-] troops returned to Jianye, they were not stopped.

Even the emperor Sun Jin went out of the city to greet him.

However, Zhong Hui did not show the slightest arrogance, and was as humble and respectful as ever, respecting Lu Kai as the Taiwei, Lu Kang as the Great Sima, Meng Zong as the Taifu, and himself as the Right Prime Minister.

Even Sun Jin, the general who was appointed by Sun Jin, refused to accept it.

He is very respectful to Sun Jin, Lu Kai, and Meng Ren. Whenever there is a major event in the court, the three of them must discuss it and then implement it.

The only transgression is to release the [-] women recruited by Sun Hao, let them marry on their own, and abolish all the tyranny of Sun Hao when he was in power.

All the scholars in Jiangdong praised him, and the people were grateful.

Although Zhong Hui was only the right prime minister, his prestige had already surpassed that of Lu Kai, Meng Ren, Lu Kang and other Jiangdong scholars.

Afterwards, Zhong Hui also wantonly used the Shen, Lu, Zhou, Tao and other minor clansmen.

Contradictions will always exist, and the gentry in Jiangdong are not monolithic.

Jiangdong talents such as Shen Ying and Tao Huang were drawn by their side.

Generals such as Zhuge Liang and Ding Wen also joined in secretly. These people were originally rejected by the Jiangdong gentry.

The power gathered by Zhonghui is getting bigger and bigger.

Although the Jiangdong surname knew his intentions, but Jianye was in his hands, and there was nothing he could do.

The only one in Jiangdong that can fight against it is the Lu family, but it is impossible for Lu Kang to leave Jingzhou behind and compete for Jianye.

If you can't fight openly, you can only fight secretly.

Zhonghui went in and out, obviously accompanied by soldiers, but secretly protected by dead soldiers.

Every time he drank and pecked, someone tried it with a silver needle first, and Zhong Hui only ate after eating it without any risk.

During the more than two months since he returned to Jianye, eight assassinations against him were thwarted.

Zhong Hui never pursued who sent the assassin, and it was meaningless to pursue further.

Even if it is known who is in charge, both parties will choose to make big things into small things.

However, the two sides fought back and forth, and finally chose to compromise.

"Being a minister to Sima Yan is a shame and humiliation that Jiangdong has never seen in decades!" Meng Zongchang sighed.

He is not a nobleman in Jiangdong. Although he is highly respected, he still cannot influence Jiangdong's major events.

In fact, Yang Zheng misunderstood Zhong Hui, and it was not his intention to surrender to Sima Yan.

With Zhong Hui's character, it is impossible to surrender to Sima Yan.

Those who made this decision were Lu Kai, Shi Zhong Yu Fan, Hussar General Zhu Xuan, Shang Shu Pu She Gu Mu and others.

Xun Xu only faintly released the news that he was going to return Sun Hao, and all the gentry in Jiangdong were scared...

Their family can be seen from their surnames.

Jiangdong's surnames are basically complete.

Originally, there should have been people from the Zhang family in Wu County, that is, Zhang Zhao's descendants.

Zhang Yan was awarded the Great Ding when he was sent to the state of Jin, and died of illness. Sun Hao changed to the first year of the Baoding.

Zhang Dun was a general of chariots and riders when he was in Sun Quan. . …

Of course, Zhong Hui would not object to the resolutions of these surnames, and it was useless to object.

These few families made a decision, and there was no outsider at all.

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Meng. Being a minister is only a temporary last resort. When there is a war between East and West, I will sit back and reap the benefits." Yu Fan cupped his hands.

A "we wait" basically excludes the emperor and others.

Sun Jin sat on the imperial couch, looking blankly at his courtiers.

Only when he saw Zhong Hui, did a trace of joy flash in his eyes.

"What does the prime minister think?" Zhu Xuan turned his gaze to Zhong Hui.

Zhong Huiqian smiled and said: "I'm going to be dull, you can make decisions about important matters in the country, and I'll listen attentively."

They didn't know how powerful Zhong Hui was, but Lu Kai had learned it long ago, "The Prime Minister is a famous man in the world, both civil and military, Jiang Dong's dependence, why is he so humble?"

Zhong Huidao: "It's not about self-effacing, but knowing what's in your heart. It's similar to the princes, so it doesn't matter if you don't talk about it. I, Jiangdong, don't need to get involved in the dispute between east and west."

Yu Fan laughed long and said, "The Prime Minister is quite self-aware!"

No matter how much credit Zhong will have, in the eyes of the Jiangdong gentry, he will never be on the stage.

Just like Ding Feng.

So in their eyes, Zhong Hui just replaced Ding Feng's position.

Being ridiculed by Yu Fan, Zhong Hui still greeted him with a smile on his face, "I will be wandering for half my life, and I will have a place to live, it all depends on your gentlemen not giving up!"

"Haha, the prime minister is serious." Both Yu Fan and Gu Mu laughed.

Zhu Xuan was unsmiling, but there was an unconcealable pride in his eyes.

Lu Kai at the side was terrified.

Zhong Hui is by no means Ding Feng, but a wolf in sheep's clothing, who wants to eat meat!

He had reminded other clans that they must not take it lightly, but they obviously didn't take it to heart.

"Zhong Hui vicious dog, we will be kind enough to raise him, and he will serve as a barrier for Jiangdong! What about King Huan of Changsha back then?" This was their judgment.

Even the brave little overlord Sun Ce is in the hands of the gentry.

If Sun Quan hadn't changed quickly, there might not be a place for the Sun family in Jiangdong.

At the end of the court meeting, Zhong Hui returned to the mansion accompanied by soldiers.

Today's Zhongfu is full of talents.

Zhong Yi, Jiang Bin, Jiang Shu, Shen Ying, Ding Wen, Zhou Chu, Guo Wei and other Jiangdong talents were added.

"I originally thought that Lu, Zhu, Gu, and Yu were the top talents in Wuzhong, but today I look at them, but they are no more than chickens and dogs! The gentleman's luster, beheaded for five generations, I am not deceived! Compared with the princes, the judgment is like the cloud Mud!" Zhong Hui said loudly.

Not only belittled Lu, Zhu, Gu, and Yu, but also secretly promoted the talents in the family.

Zhong Hui has been around for so many years, and his methods of winning people's hearts have long been perfected.

Everyone was really happy.

Among the Three Kingdoms, the second and third generations of the Wei State were stronger than the Shu State, and the Shu State was stronger than the Wu State...

There are at least Huo Yi, Fu Qian, Luo Xian, Luo Yin and other talents in Shu Kingdom, and there is only one Lu Kang left in Wu Kingdom to support the table.

Of course, it is not that Wu has no talents, but that only talents have no family background, and they are destined not to be reused.

"If it wasn't for the prime minister's efforts to turn the tide, how could Jiangdong survive? They are all among the three princes, but the prime minister has not been rewarded. How can the world be justified?" Zhou Chu was indignant.

Zhou Chu is the son of Zhou Dory, with extraordinary arm strength, indulged in wanton desires, and was afflicted by the villagers. After eliminating the three evils, he studied hard. Just in time for Zhonghui to recruit talented people, he joined him as his disciple.

"Ziyin can't lie!" Zhong Hui shook his head.

Shen Ying cupped her hands and said, "With the merits of the prime minister, all the people in Jiangdong rely on him."

Shen Ying is not only a hero, but also a well-educated person, but she is not reused.

"Since the people of Jiangdong rely on me, I can't bear it. You don't need to worry. Jiangdong has been devastated repeatedly. The internal and external situation should be quiet and not moving. You should perform your duties and put the state affairs first." Zhong Hui's voice is gentle like earnestly By.

It's very simple, Jianye's military power is in his hands, so what about Lu, Yu, Gu, and Zhu Neng?

Holding a knife in hand, but willing to be subordinate to others, of course he is waiting for the opportunity.

"The prime minister is worried about Jingzhou Da Sima?" Ding Wen pointed out directly.

President Zhong laughed and shook his head, "Da Sima is the pillar of Jiangdong, so there is no need to say more."
