The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1111 Great Wealth

Zhong Yong said: "Grand Sima Liu Yin is now a very important figure, controlling the soldiers and horses of Yongliang and the four prefectures of Hebei. If he can't get rid of him, it will be difficult to accomplish anything."

Zhong Hui smiled slightly and said: "As long as he is in Luoyang, he will die after all. Now for the throne, the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince are fighting for the throne. Liu Yin and Jiang Wei, who are behind them, are also fighting openly and secretly. No one would have thought that the praying mantis is catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind. Yong'er, hurry up and tell Xia Houxian, Ju'an, and Wang Mai to come and discuss something important with my father."

Xia Houxian, Ju'an, and Wang Mai are the most trusted people of Zhong Hui. From Zhong Hui's rebellion against Jin to self-reliance to his surrender to Jiang Wei, these people have followed him wholeheartedly. Therefore, Zhong Hui will definitely not conspire to rebel in Luoyang this time. Single-handedly, but rely on these loyal subordinates.

Zhong Hui became the general of Zhenxi in the Shu Han, and Xia Houxian and others were also awarded the rank of general. However, according to the original agreement between Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei, the old department of Zhong Hui was still under the command of Zhong Hui, and Xia Houxian and others were still under the command of Zhong Hui. They are the generals of Zhonghui, each commanding an army.

Soon, Xia Houxian and the other three were summoned. They walked briskly, chatting and laughing. Obviously, they were already very proud of being able to return to Luoyang this time.

"Here, take a seat." Zhong Hui waved his hand casually, signaling them to sit down.

When the three of them arrived in front of Zhong Hui, they naturally didn't dare to make any more noise. They all bowed their hands in thanks and sat down.

Zhong Yong ordered his servants to serve the dishes, and within a short while, the table in front of the three of them was filled with high-quality wine and all kinds of delicacies.

Xia Houxian and the others couldn't help being puzzled, this is not a festival, and they don't know what it means that Zhong Hui invited them to drink suddenly?
On the contrary, Wang Mai was bolder, cupped his hands and said: "Dare to ask the general, what is a good day today, and you want to celebrate with wine?"

Zhong Hui said with a chuckle: "Why, does it have to be a festival to drink? I am happy today, and the completion of this new mansion is considered a joy of housewarming, so I specially invited you here to have a drunk together. Besides, this time we Returning to Luoyang City is originally a great event, but the military affairs have been busy for the past few days, so I have not been able to attend to the celebration, so serving wine today is also a celebration of our return to our hometown!"

Xia Houxian and others were pleased, Zhong Hui's reason was reasonable, and it was a great joy in itself to be able to return to his hometown in brocade clothes, not to mention that when they rebelled, they had completely broken with Luoyang, and no one would have dared to think When will I be able to return to Luoyang City again? Probably that distant Luoyang City will only appear in my dreams.But a few years later, their dreams come true, and Jinyi's return to Luoyang is naturally worthy of great celebration.

After three tours of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere at the banquet became active, and their conversations gradually increased between the toasts and cups. Thinking back in the past, how high-spirited it was when they conquered Shu for thousands of miles, and the Jingxiang Incident , the bell will raise its arms and call out, and there are countless people who respond, throwing whips to cut off the flow, with arrogance.

When the wine was half drunk, Zhong Hui raised his glass and sighed: "I think back then, when I was in Xiangyang, I beheaded Sima Liang, killed Wei Guan, ceded the land and became the king, and you were all ministers. What a carefree and carefree day it was. Now, even though we can enter Luoyang City, we are living under the fence of others, relying on others, and we have to be cautious in our words and deeds, if we are not careful, we will be killed, do you think this kind of life is lucky or unlucky?"

Xiahouxian Wang Maiju'an looked at each other in blank dismay, and the atmosphere of the celebration banquet, which was originally enjoyable, became weird because of Zhong Hui's words.To be honest, in those days in Xiangyang, they were really free and unrestrained. Even if they were walking on the streets of Xiangyang, they could run amok. If anyone disliked them, they would immediately cut off his head. In Xiangyang, they It is the uncle, they are the masters, and they can run amok.

But since returning to Shu Kingdom, including Zhong Hui, they have kept a low profile a lot. From King Wei Xing back to General Zhenxi, the ups and downs of this life, can not help but let Zhong Hui feel a lot of emotion, but the past is over, think about it again There is no chance to go back to the glorious days of the past.

Xia Houxian and the others couldn't help sighing sadly that surrendering to Shu Kingdom was a forced choice. Didn't they just want to have a bright future when they followed Zhong Hui to rebel? He can only be regarded as a second-class courtier, and he has not really won the recognition of the court of Shu, and naturally he cannot enjoy the treatment that courtiers of Shu should deserve.

Zhong Hui was better, at least he was cited by Jiang Wei as a confidant. Jiang Wei still had to refer to the opinions of Zhong Hui, a high-level counselor, when many secrets were kept secret, but the treatment that Zhong Hui and his subordinates received was worse. Thousands of miles away, even the military quartermaster who distributes food and salaries in Shu Kingdom, every time he looks at them, he has a look of contempt on his face.

This kind of life is simply unbearable, but no matter how unbearable it is, they have to endure it. After all, they are now dependent on others and have to live by the face of others.

Zhong Hui chuckled, lowered his voice and said, "Do you really miss the old days, do you still want to go back to the time when you were in Xiangyang?"

Xia Houxian nodded and said, "I want to, even in my dreams!"

Wang Mai and Ju An also nodded like chickens pecking at rice, even claiming yes.

"Okay!" Zhong Hui said in a deep voice, "There is a great fortune in front of you, I don't know if you have the guts to take it?"

The three of them looked at each other and said, "I don't know what kind of wealth the general is talking about?"

"Conferring the king and worshiping the minister, conferring the wife and son, honoring the ancestors!" Zhong Hui said in a deep and authentic voice. Although he deliberately lowered his voice, his words were still as firm and determined as ever.

Confer the king and pay homage to the prime minister?Xia Houxian and the others were all taken aback. Whether it was the Shu Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, the qualifications for being a king were quite strict. Generally speaking, those who were not from the imperial clan could not be crowned kings, unless they mixed with people like Cao Cao and Sima. Zhao's status, but if he really got to that status, he was only one step away from the emperor's throne, and he could achieve it with a lift of his feet.

But now that Zhong Hui promises them to be crowned kings and ministers, will this great event really be their turn?Xia Houxian and the others couldn't help but be skeptical. There might be a chance to pay homage to the prime minister, but the matter of becoming a king is too slim.

Wang Mai hesitated for a moment, but still asked curiously: "Is what the general said a joke?"

Zhong Hui calmly and calmly said: "When did XX ever lie to you? You have followed XX for many years. You must be very clear about what kind of person this general is. This time it is definitely not a joke. The glory and wealth will be yours to enjoy."
