The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1110 Zhong Hui's Ambition

Seeing that Jiang Wei had made up his mind, Zhong Hui secretly rejoiced, and retreated, returning to his General Zhenxi's Mansion.

After Zhonghui's rebellion, Sima Yan was furious. The Zhong family was punished, and the original residence of the Zhong family was confiscated by the government.After Jiang Wei entered Luoyang this time, Zhong Hui proposed to return to the Zhong family's old house as his General Zhenxi Mansion, and Jiang Wei naturally readily agreed.

Zhong's mansion has been abandoned for many years, the house has long been dilapidated and weeds are overgrown. After Zhong Hui returned to the old house, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. The more than [-] members of Zhong's family were all killed by Sima Yan. Will you still regret what you did at the beginning? Those who have achieved great things in ancient times must make sacrifices. I rebelled in Jingzhou and killed Sima Yan's uncle Sima Liang. Sima Yan took revenge and his family was copied. The beheading had already been expected by Zhong Hui.

The winner, prince, and loser, Kou, now Zhonghui returns to Luoyang, returning to the former residence of Zhongfu as a winner, while Sima Yan, who was once aloof, has turned into a scorched corpse.

As long as you have money, it is not difficult to rebuild the Zhongfu. Zhong Hui did not choose other mansions with complete facilities as his own house, but spent a lot of effort and money to rebuild the Zhongfu. Back again, the Zhong family will not become extinct.

In two months, the Zhongfu was completely renovated, and it was even more luxurious than it was back then.

Zhong Yong, Zhong Hui's adopted son, has been in charge of the renovation of the Zhong Mansion. Zhong Yong is the son of Zhong Hui's elder brother Zhong Yu, and he adopted Zhong Hui together with Zhong Yi. Zhong Yi and Zhong Yu's other sons were killed by Sima Yan. Under Hui's knees, there is only such an adopted son left, who has become the only blood of the Zhong family. Zhong Hui naturally loves him very much, and let him serve as the commander of Zhenxi General and serve by his side.

Zhong Yong is of course very dedicated to rebuilding the Zhongfu. The reconstruction of the Zhongfu is of great significance to the Zhong family. Zhong Yong naturally dare not slack off in the slightest, and takes care of everything by himself.

Seeing Zhong Hui return to the mansion, Zhong Yong immediately went up to greet him, bowed and said: "Father, everything in the mansion is ready, only the big plaque at the gate of the mansion is left, which has been ordered at Linji Wooden Square in the east of the city. It’s just that I don’t know whether it’s better to use red sandalwood or mahogany, and it’s up to my father to decide.”

Zhong Hui pondered for a while, and said: "Use mahogany, red is prosperous, and mahogany is noble. Our Zhong family, if we can have a day of rejuvenation this time, we will surely be rich, wealthy, and popular in the future."

"Okay, I will send people to Linji Wooden Workshop later and tell them to use mahogany to make plaques. Also, the word 'Zhongfu' on this plaque must be inscribed by my father himself, which is most suitable." Zhong Yong said.

Zhong Hui nodded happily. When it comes to calligraphy, Zhong Hui claims to be the second in the world. I'm afraid there is no one who dares to be the first.The calligraphy of Zhong Hui’s father, Zhong Yao, was obtained from the true biography of Cai Wenji, the daughter of Cai Yong, which can be said to be the best in the world. Also known as the "King of Bells", it also occupies an extremely prominent position in the history of Chinese calligraphy.

Naturally, it was most suitable for Zhong Hui to inscribe on this plaque. Zhong Yong immediately sent someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Zhong Hui immediately wrote the word "Zhongfu" on it.

Zhong Hui's calligraphy is powerful, unrestrained and amazing. These two characters are hung at the gate of Zhong's old house. Zhong Hui naturally wrote with great care and showed his calligraphy talent to the fullest.After Zhong Hui finished writing, he stopped writing and laughed, obviously very satisfied with his masterpiece.

Zhong Yong immediately ordered people to send Zhong Hui's inscribed words to Linji Mufang, and asked them to choose the best mahogany wood to carve out the plaque as soon as possible.

Zhong Hui waved his hands, such small things should be done by his servants with his heart, and he would not bother about it, he called Zhong Yong to the study and said: "Yong'er, you leave the affairs of the mansion to the servants. Just do it, there are still important things to do on my father's side."

Zhong Yong said: "I don't know what important things father has to do?"

Zhong Hui squinted his eyes, lightly stroking a few strands of short beard under his chin, and said, "I had no choice but to descend to Shu for my father. I didn't expect that Shu could swallow Jin and capture Luoyang City. It's really unexpected." But that's fine, the Sima family was completely destroyed, and it was the day when my Zhong family rose. Today's Luoyang City is full of dragons and snakes, and the roots are intertwined. After all, Liu Yin, Jiang Wei and others are not the kind of ruthless people. The influence has not been completely wiped out, except for the Sima clan, all the other noble families were spared and recruited again, such a woman's benevolence, but I don't know that it has already caused endless disasters."

Zhong Yong's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said: "Father means that we can take advantage of the fact that the Shu people have just entered Luo, and the base is unstable, so we can gather the old troops and raise troops to fight against it?"

Zhong Hui nodded slightly, and said: "Now is an excellent opportunity. The Lord of Shu, Liu Chan, was ill just after he entered Luoyang, and he is estimated to die soon. His throne must be taken by the King of the North, Liu Chen, and the King of Xinxing, Liu Xun. If two tigers fight, one or both will be injured. We can take advantage of this opportunity to gather the old troops in Luoyang and return to them to make a profit. As long as we can kill Jiang Wei and Liu Yin, it will be a great blessing to the Kingdom of Shu The whole country will be in the hands of you and my father and son."

When Zhong Yong heard it, his blood boiled. When they first came to Shu, they all swallowed their anger and suffered great humiliation. Now that they have the opportunity to make a comeback, they naturally did their part. He said excitedly: "Father, you will directly manage Tell me, my son will definitely die without hesitation."

Zhong Hui said with a chuckle: "No hurry, this matter should be carefully planned, as a surefire plan. When I first entered Luoyang, I once advised Jiang Wei to kill Liu Yin, but Jiang Wei hesitated again and again, did not do it, and missed it." With this opportunity, it will not be so easy to kill Liu Yin. Now that Liu Yin is the Grand Sima, his status is still higher than that of Jiang Wei, if we don't get rid of him, great things will happen."

"Then why didn't my father send an assassin to assassinate him secretly under the guise of a member of the Sima clan? If he succeeds, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?" Zhong Yong immediately offered a plan when he heard that Zhong would intend to get rid of Liu Yin.Although assassination is a relatively despicable method, it has an immediate effect. If it is done well, it can even be done without anyone noticing.

Zhong Hui shook his head and said: "Liu Yin is surrounded by a group of guards, and there are many masters sitting in the guard. His wife Sima Qing was the number one assassin Qingniao of the Wei State Military Division at that time. If you want to use this method to deal with him, I'm afraid It's not easy. And if the assassination fails, it will definitely startle the snake and make Liu Yin alert, so don't act rashly. If you want to deal with Liu Yin, you have to think long-term."
