Wei Ni
Chapter 229 What are you planning?
After Huan Yu said goodbye and left, Xia Houhui saw that it was still early, so he also gave Wei Shu a few words and took Lu Fan and some tribes back to the Bochang Tinghou Mansion.
Although the birthday party for his uncle Wang Su was the next day, the emperor had made many promises to him today and he had to go back to the mansion in advance to make arrangements.
For example, the first thing to do is to ask Uncle Sun to secretly send a letter to the Anning Tinghou Mansion.
The emperor Cao Rui will soon appoint his brother Xiahou Ba as the temporary general of the Huyue Camp. He should first tell his eldest brother Xiahouheng.
Not for taking credit.
But he knew the temper of his brother Zhong, so he asked his eldest brother Xia Houheng to mediate between him and prevent Xia Houba from being ashamed of being under him and resigning from office due to illness.
Another thing was that he wanted to confirm whether Fu Gu would be on duty the next day or take a rest.
He planned to ask Fu Gu if he was willing to serve as a lieutenant in the defense department. Because he really didn't have many friendly and age-appropriate people in Luoyang Capital.
I won’t mention the most affectionate Chen Tai.
Considering his reputation, family status, and current official position, if Xia Houhui invited him to come over and become a lieutenant, it would be an insult to Chen Tai and would lead to the two of them turning against each other!
And Fu Gu is very suitable.
First of all, although Fu Gu is famous for his weak crown, almost all his elders are no longer alive today.
For example, his father Fu Yun was only a minister in Huangmen, and was regarded as a confidant by the late emperor Cao Pi. His father Fu Xunhuan died of illness during the Taihe period, so he had very few family connections to rely on.
Secondly, it was only a few years ago that he was appointed as a vassal by Sikong Chenqun.
A subordinate is a subordinate assistant officer, not an official position officially appointed by the court; if he is transferred to serve in the Chinese army as a lieutenant, it is regarded as being promoted and officially having an official status.
Finally, Fu Gu is still under thirty, and it will take a long time to get ahead in the center.
Take Chen Qian as an example.
Chen Qian's talent and reputation are no less than Fu Gu.
However, Chen Qian's father, Chen Jiao, was still alive. He had served as a minister and was now serving as a minister. It was time to wait for the appointment of the three princes based on seniority.
Nowadays, Chen Qian is just a minister.
Fu Gu was eight years younger than Chen Qian. With little support from his family, if he wanted to reach the official position of Shangshulang, he would have to accumulate experience for several more years.
In this way, with Chen Qian serving as Sima of the Town Protection Department, Xia Houhui's invitation to Fu Gu to take up the official position of Zhonglang seemed to be very sincere and important.
Of course, this was the explicit reason Xia Houhui gave when he returned to the mansion to discuss the candidate with Ding Mi.
In Xia Houhui's heart, there was another most important reason that he could not express.
That was because he wanted to test Fu Gu's character.
He and Fu Gu were already very familiar with each other, and they had a tacit understanding with each other, showing their intention to benefit each other in the future; but that was because he had returned from the expedition against Xianbei, and Fu Gu had seen the emperor's distaste for him. .
There is no shortage of icing on the cake.
But those who offer help in times of need and are willing to share weal and woe are the ones who can be entrusted to each other.
He just wanted to see how Fu Gu would react when he was demoted to Liaoxi County by Emperor Cao Rui in the future, and whether he was worthy of becoming his confidant.
Isn't it the person who is the henchman and the henchman that you want to cultivate after all?
Even though the emperor always likes to disrupt his plans and take away his people at every turn!
In fact, Fu Gu was grateful for his invitation. However, Xia Houhui said that on his way back to the mansion, he sent a song to Fu Gu's house to ask about his whereabouts the next day. However, because Fu Gu had not returned home yet, he waited in front of the mansion. When Fu Gu, who had just arrived at the office and was still chatting with his friends, returned, he learned that Xia Houhui wanted to see him for something, so he followed Bu Qu to the Bochang Tinghou Mansion without even entering his house.
In his words, the two families were not far apart, and it was still early before the curfew time in the city.
Furthermore, he also knew that Xiahou Hui was busy with military affairs and rarely returned home, so there was no need to postpone it until the next day.
Xia Houhui was very pleased with his arrival.
After inviting him into the house and chatting for a few words, he directly talked about the matter and asked him what he thought.
"Thanks to the high opinion of Zhiquan, if I don't think I am stupid and ask to be the middle man in the profession, how can I refuse?"
This is what he said, and he also stood up and bowed to express his thanks, "Although I am not talented, I am still willing to use my meager efforts to be driven by Zhiquan."
"Lan Shi said something serious, he said something serious!"
This also made Xiahou Hui's face full of smiles. He quickly stood up to return the greeting and praised generously, "If there is a talented person like Lanshi to fill in the gaps, I will no longer have to work hard on paperwork and worry about being short-sighted and lacking in talent. This is inevitable!"
After he finished speaking, he paused and added a joke, "I will fix the watch tonight and report it to the emperor the next day, so that Lan Shi won't have the chance to regret it. Hahaha~"
"Hahaha~"
Fu Gu also laughed and humiliated himself again and again, "Zhi Quan looks up to me."
The two chatted for a while, and then Fu Gu said goodbye and went back as it was getting dark.
But before leaving, he actually raised his sleeves and whispered something to Xia Houhui and Ding Mi as they were being escorted out of the mansion.
"I have always been on good terms with Xun Fengqian before, and now that Zhiquan has raised my name in the ears of the Emperor, I will not regard myself as an outsider. Zhiquan, I have always been on good terms with Xun Fengqian, and we often have banquets and conversations when we are free, so I I got some news by chance. Well, when brother Yan Jing congratulated Sima Ziyuan on his wedding, he must have seen He Yingkao at the party. But for some reason, He Yingkao had a grudge against Zhiquan and had recently been with Sima. Zishang and Cao Changsi are very close. You should check yourself."
Xun Fengqian was the youngest son of Xun Can and Xun Lingjun. He was obsessed with metaphysics, so Xia Houhui ignored him after hearing this.
But since he had resented himself and had become very close to Sima Zhao and Cao Zhao, Xia Houhui had to take it seriously.
You know, when Xia Houhui was still in Huainan, Cao Zhao specifically asked his brother Cao Zuan to tell him that Xia Houxian, Qin Lang and Cao Shuang's three cronies would try to harm him, and he also claimed that he was not helping each other.
Now, are you actually making peace with Master Sima?
It's Master Sima.
As soon as Xiahou Huifu heard this, he knew that Sima Zhao was just a cover.
With Sima Zhao's wisdom, he was not worthy of carrying his brother's shoes, let alone having the guts to have friendship with a clan member like Cao Zhao without Sima Master's nod.
"Zhiquan, could this be the one with the 'slingshot under' that Wu Wenshu said?"
After returning to the study, Ding Mi simply deduced, "I just can't understand why people like Cao Changsi, He Yingkao, Sima Zishang and others have grudges against Zhiquan?"
"Yan Jing is Sima Ziyuan, not Zishang."
Xia Houhui corrected him, and then fell into a long silence.
He knew very well that he had no intersection with He Zeng.
But after adding Cao Zhao, he could guess that the so-called grudges were nothing more than power.
It's just that he can't figure out what Master Sima is trying to do!
They were obviously imprisoned and had no conflict of interest with him, so why did they suddenly target him? (End of chapter)
