Wei Ni

Chen Jiao responded respectfully and did not continue to argue.

Of course he knew the priorities of the matter, and he also knew the situation of the states and counties on the eastern front of Wei State since the Battle of Shiting.

However, he has served in the Luoyang Central Committee for so many years. Under such circumstances, if he proposes to re-implement Chen Deng's old plan, will he make casual suggestions without careful consideration and countermeasures?
He must have a perfect plan.

But he knew that Liu Fang and Sun Zi were both in the situation, so if he continued to argue, it might be counterproductive.

These two people, who are so powerful that they can even influence the selection of the three princes, have wielded too much power in recent years and are accustomed to being arrogant and domineering. If they openly speak against them, they will encounter all kinds of obstructions from them.

So he thought about it and decided to slow down his thoughts for a while and wait until he found an opportunity to spend time with Emperor Cao Rui privately before mentioning it, so that it could be implemented more smoothly.

Jiang Ji also remained silent.

He had long been in conflict with Liu Fang and Sun Zi, so he would not have the same thoughts as Chen Jiao.

It was because he had strongly opposed the previous proposal for Man Chong to move to Hefei City, but last year's war proved that Man Chong was superior in skills, which made it difficult for him to give strong advice on the decision to resist the thief Wu.

Since the emperor knew what he felt, it didn't matter whether he said anything or not.

Let Chen Jiao fight for it on his own. If Chen Jiao is alone and unable to cope, it is not too late for him to add a postscript.

Emperor Cao Rui didn't know what they were thinking about.

After being interrupted by Chen Jiao, his mind was no longer on running Guangling County, but he picked up Man Chong's watch again and read it again.

Because above the performance, there is another sentence: "Hui is bold and careful, and may be able to defeat the military."

All the princes in the Wei Kingdom knew that Man Chong, who had a harsh temperament, almost never praised anyone.

Nowadays, it is unprecedented to say such a sentence.

This also reminded Emperor Cao Rui again of the performance he made when he retreated from Huainan to Sun Quan.

It was not written by Man Chong, but by Li Changshi. There is also a sentence about Xia Houhui, which says: "Hui led hundreds of cavalry to seize the thief Sun Quanyu to protect the car cover. When he returned, the soldiers still pursued him, so no one was beheaded. "

This is not to disparage Xia Houhui for not wanting to make progress.

Instead, he told the emperor that Xia Houhui, who was still greedy for power and took risks, is now calm and no longer obsessed with merit.

This Zhuzi was actually favored by Manchu, who once claimed that Cao Xiu "wanted to use troops" and said, "Maybe he can stop the military affairs."

Really made progress~
Well, very good!

So Cao Rui was very happy and praised in his heart.

He couldn't help but look back at Qin Lang, Xia Houxian and others, and warned them earnestly, "Your resume is before that of Zhi Quan, but now your achievements are behind Zhi Quan's. You should encourage them!"

"only."

Qin Lang and others naturally bowed their heads and responded.

But after answering, Cao Shuang took the lead and said, "As His Majesty said, General Zhengdong is actually the most valuable weapon against the thief Wu and the stronghold of the country. Even if Jiangdong comes back this year, Huainan will have no worries!"

Haha~
In response, Cao Rui smiled and said nothing.

Is Cao Shuang praising Man Chong?

no.

It is clearly claiming that Man Chong personally planned the plan, and whoever led the troops to attack Guangling could return with great victory, not just Xiahou Hui.

But Cao Rui didn't care anymore.

Although he admires Xia Houhui very much, he is also very close to Cao Shuang~
As the emperor, his status is actually like that of the patriarch of the clan and the descendants of the founder, and he cannot favor one over the other.

Be it Xia Houhui or Cao Shuang, as long as the trouble is not excessive, he will not come forward to protect him. The palms and backs of his hands are all flesh~
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as Cao Shuang finished speaking, Xia Houxian, who had always been taciturn, also spoke up, "Your Majesty, Zhiquan is extremely talented and should be trained in many ways, with the hope that one day he can supervise one side and become the mainstay of the country. "

"Um"

Cao Rui, whose expression remained unchanged, snorted lightly. After hesitating for a moment, he turned his eyes to Qin Lang and Cao Zhao, "What do you think?"

"Reply to your majesty, my postscript."

Qin Lang took the lead in echoing without thinking.

Cao Zhao's answer was that the matter had nothing to do with him, "Your Majesty, I am just an acquaintance with Zhi Quan. Although I am no stranger to Zhi Quan's deeds, I have little experience in battle and dare not speak well about military matters. What to do with Zhi Zhiquan? His Majesty Fu Wei has made the final decision.”

Therefore, he also received a joke from Cao Rui, "It's just a small talk, why don't you dare to say evil things?"

But after he finished scolding, he had no intention of letting Cao Zhao continue to speak.

Instead, he waited quietly for a moment, and after confirming that no one had said anything, he looked up at the sky and said, "The sun is getting late, so everyone should go back. Sun Qing, let the princes record the merits of this battle the next day."

"only."

Sun Zi bowed his head and responded respectfully.

When he looked up again, he found that the emperor had already gone to the imperial chariot outside the manor.

His steps were quite fast, and when he passed by the steward of the manor, he didn't have to send the concubine that he was quite attracted to to the palace for the night. Feeling annoyed, he suddenly lost his sexual interest.

Yes, he was very unhappy, and even a little disappointed with Qin Lang, Xia Houxian and Jiang Ji.

Xia Houxian, who is now the leader among the officials, was the first to be promoted by him without hesitation, but what he didn't expect was that he was now jealous of talents, jealous of talents, and striving for power.

He advised Xiahou Hui to have more experience in the local area, which was a fight for power!

In other words, it is suggested that Xia Houhui should be trained as a governor and guard one side like Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang in the future. It should be a mature idea to seek the country. How can it be said to be jealous of talents and talents?

But you must know that Wei is different from the past.

Sima Yi first supervised the war in Jingxiang and then Yongliang, and Man Chong supervised the war in Huainan, which had broken the past practice of the clan general Qiao Peidu leading the garrison. With the story in front, it means that there will be no shortage of people with "foreign surnames" to serve as governors in the future.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese army stationed in Luoyang is the guarantee for the stability of the country.

The person in charge of the Luoyang Central Army is the one with the highest military power in the Wei State, and Xiahou Xian's suggestion is to let Xiahou Hui gain more experience in the local area and become a garrison commander in the future!

Isn't this a struggle for power?
Didn't he just want to prevent Xia Houhui from returning to the capital and taking charge of the Luoyang Chinese Army?

If he didn't have this intention, he should be like Cao Zhao's reply, "Your Majesty Fu Wei's holy judgment"!
And Qin Lang also agreed.

He, who was usually submissive and without any opinion, actually agreed with Xia Houxian!

Is it possible that the fact that I asked him to lead the expedition against Xianbei last time, and today I decided to rush to the aid of the Yongliang general, made him lust for power? Or is it that these two people have secretly become friends?
What a bunch of mediocre people!
Laihe's national favor did not think about Emperor Wu's difficulties in starting a business and the troubled society. Instead, he was just like a dog and put his own interests first!

This was the reason why Cao Rui was suddenly annoyed.

He was angry and felt that his generous promotion and full expectations were all wrong.

What made him secretly unhappy was that Jiang Ji didn't say anything.

Obviously he deliberately stayed for a while after Cao Zhao gave his answer, waiting for Jiang Ji to refute Xiahou's advice.

Because he was very sure that Liu Fang, Sun Zi, Chen Jiao and Jiang Ji, who had been immersed in the temple for a long time, could not detect Xia Houxian and Qin Lang's small thoughts.

Chen Jiao has no desire for power, so he won't talk too much about this kind of thing.

And Liu Fang and Sun Zi also had an excusable relationship.

They have been in charge of Zhongshu Province for many years, and their heavy authority has attracted criticism from many important ministers, so it is not easy to intervene in the conflicts between the clan and the descendants of Qiao Pei.

But Jiang Ji should refute it!

Because since he succeeded to the throne, the courtier who has been treated the most favorably is Jiang Ji!

Not only was he not held accountable for his abuse of power, but he also handed over the authority of the emperor's disciples to him.

The two powers of selecting Chinese military attachés and promoting civilian talents are combined into one. How much trust is this? Doron's favor!
He almost trusted him as the late Cao Zhen, but he remained silent when it came to matters. Didn't he see Man Chong's comment about Xia Houhui that "it might be enough to end the war"?
Even Man Chong, a cruel official who never interacted with others, acted according to his own wishes as a national reserve talent. Why did Jiang Ji, who was also an important minister of the third generation, cherish his words like gold?

Where is the loyalty of the dead king!
With this kind of indignation, Cao Rui suddenly felt that Jiang Ji had been serving as the general of the army for too long.

He also suddenly remembered the past when Xia Houhui made him misunderstand that Xia Houhui was seeking the position of Central Guard Army.

However, before leaving Luoyang, Zhiquan claimed that he wanted to serve in various positions and accumulate military experience, and he did not want to return to Luoyang to serve~
After returning from palace confinement, Cao Rui, who stayed in the back hall of Chonghua, had some uncertain thoughts.

Because this time the temple recorded meritorious service for the Battle of Guangling, Xia Houhui will definitely be promoted to an official position based on his performance.

After returning from Beimangshan Manor, Liu Fang and Sun Zi did not return to their mansion, but went straight to Zhongshu Province.

Not only to pass on the merit recording matter that Emperor Cao Rui asked, but also to find a place where no one is around to chat.

The two of them have been in power for a long time.

I also felt hatred from all sides very early on.

Naturally, it also includes Qin Lang, Xia Houxian and others.

Therefore, Liu Fang, who was advancing and retreating with him, also knew that Xia Houhui was very respectful to Sun Zi the previous time, and even discussed it privately.

Now that I saw Man Chong's words praising Xia Houhui and noticed the struggle for power between the clan and the descendants of Qiao Pei Yuanxun, I naturally wanted to have a few "chats".

Because they knew that after the Huainan memorial spread in the temple, Man Chong's praise would affect many people.

For example, Wei Zhen, Gao Rou and other three-generation veterans who have a strong voice.

This also means that Xia Houhui, who is already favored by Emperor Cao Rui, may not need the promotion of the two of them, and will be promoted to high positions and hold power by other important ministers in the future.

Not to mention, Xia Houru is still the commander-in-chief of the Jingxiang Front!
Although Xiahou Ru was depressed, he was still from Qiao Pei old age, and he was also one of the people who could influence the decision-making of Emperor Cao Rui.

Moreover, his disciple Xia Houxuan was imprisoned, and his most talented disciple Xia Houhui, who had not yet entered the fifth server, naturally became his first choice to support his glorious family.

In other words, if the two of them do nothing more, they may not be able to make the trip.

Hoarding also has a time limit.

After the two people sitting opposite each other in the office were silent for a long time, Liu Fang spoke first, "Xiahou Boquan made a living by selling horses and came from Bingzhou." (End of Chapter)
