Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Compared with the joyful atmosphere of Chang'an, the capital of Han, Luoyang, the capital of Wei State in the east, is shrouded in depression.

Liu Bei declared himself emperor abroad, and Sun Quan of Eastern Wu was destroyed by Lantian. In addition to being unable to help Cao Zhen, the land of Wei State also lost Nanxiang County.

Several important ministers in the country passed away one after another last year, namely Da Sima Cao Ren, Tai Wei Jia Xu, Shi Zhong Wen Hui, Tai Chang Xing Yong, Yue Qi School Captain Xun Wei, and Liangzhou Inspector Zhang Ji, whose death news did not reach the Central Plains.

Wei Emperor Cao Pi has been troubled recently, especially the death of Jia Xu, the spiritual pillar, leaving Cao Pi with no one to ask advice, and the legendary "Marquis of Wu" Sima Zhao has become useless, even if Sima Zhao can turn the tide, but this The child is only twelve or thirteen years old, so it is difficult to provoke the leader in the short term.

Chapter 9: People's Hearts Can Change

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

The military of Wei State was unsatisfactory, and it also encountered a major crisis in politics. During the Chinese New Year, rumors arose in Luoyang. It was rumored in the city that Shang Shu Ling Chen Qun, Shang Shu Pu She Du Ji, Tai Wei Zhong Yao, Shi Zhong Xin Pi and others secretly colluded with Liu Bei Want to oppose Wei.

Cao Pi didn't believe it at first, but the rumors are like a serial drama, and the content is well-founded, which makes people have to have doubts.

Some of them are thought-provoking. First of all, Chen Qun was confiscated by Liu Bei, and there was an old friendship between them. Liu Bei established his capital in Chang'an, and his army is strong. It is human nature for him to want to return to his homeland; again, Zhong Yao was implicated in the Wei satire case, so he harbored a grudge and wanted to vote for Liu Bei; , all aspects were suppressed by the Henan gentry, they rebelled against Wei in order to seek change...

Xu Shu sent people to spread the rumors. Ever since he had the Changjiang Newspaper, he has become proficient in launching intelligence warfare. When Guan Yu and Cao Xiu agreed to cease the war, Xiangyang's secret workers turned into refugees, and then detoured into Runan and entered the Central Plains.

At first, it was circulated in a small area by the people around Luoyang, but during the Chinese New Year period, the population flowed rapidly, and the rumors spread like a virus in Luoyang, because the people involved were all high-ranking, and ordinary yamen didn't want to control it, and they didn't dare to control it. In the end, it was sued by Henan Yin Simazhi All halls.

Sima Zhi was born in Wen County, Henan Province, and he and Sima Yi belonged to the same clan and hometown. Although the two belonged to the same clan, the succession and decline of the branch families were different. He was not as lucky as Sima Yi when he was young, and he was able to grow up under the blessing of the big clan. He was left in Jingzhou during the war, and Cao Cao pacified Jingzhou so that he could return to his hometown in the Central Plains and enter his official career from Jian County, where laws and regulations were lax and bandits were rampant.

Because of his family background, Sima Yi became an official in the prime minister's office as a literary officer. He was later sent to Cao Pi's office as the servant of the Huangmen and Yilang, and then transferred back to the prime minister's office to serve as the subordinate and chief secretary of Dong Cao. These official positions only serve Cao Cao and his son. Those who are close to or from a wealthy family cannot hold the position, and if they continue to be promoted, they will be high-ranking officials with real power such as county governors and governors.

In the five years since Sima Yi became an official, he was promoted to the head of the Xiangfu without even serving as the most basic county magistrate. Not to mention how outstanding his personal ability is, but in terms of his career promotion path, it is the easiest way to go Lu, if he hadn't been exterminated by Xu Chu, he would have been able to enter the Shangshutai as the Shangshu when Cao Pi ascended the throne, and directly entered the core of Wei's power.

On the other hand, Sima Zhi of the same family is different. He started as an official from Jian county magistrate, and successively served as governor of Guangping, Ganling, Pei, and Yangping. ability and reputation.

At the end of Wei Huangchu's fourth year, Sima Zhi was promoted to Henan Yin. The stern and selfless man encountered such a big case not long after he took office.

Sima Zhi directly remonstrated in the hall, and Cao Pi then left all the people involved to prove their innocence according to his intention, which caused strong dissatisfaction among several important officials.

Taiwei Zhong Yao went into a rage on the spot. He slapped the armrest of the seat and scolded angrily: "The old minister has bad legs and feet. If you really want to betray the Great Wei, do you have to be carried to Chang'an? Sima Mansion Yin Youshan judged the case. Shouldn't you arrest the rumormonger at this time? Your Majesty, let us cross-examine in front of His Majesty, apart from humiliating face, what good is there for the country and His Majesty?"

"Taiwei, please don't get angry. I have sent people to arrest those who spread rumors, but this time the momentum is so great. If His Majesty chooses to ignore it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for other courtiers..." Sima Zhi replied neither humble nor overbearing .

"The old minister doesn't want to bring up the Ye City matter now. If the Sima Mansion Yin has real evidence, he can arrest me directly." Zhong Yao was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and stopped talking after venting.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that this matter is definitely Liu Bei's careful work. Only by making us panic will they have a chance to overthrow our Great Wei." Du Ji said halfway, looking at Sima Zhi and continuing to add: "The Sima Governor's shoulders are so important. For important positions, you should thoroughly investigate how the rumors are imported, instead of tossing us veterans..."

"What do you have to say to Sima Qing's family?" Cao Pi was dizzy from the quarrel in the hall, and wanted to end the questioning quickly.

Sima Zhi cupped his hands and said: "I believe in the character of the princes, and even more believe that this is a rumor from the enemy, but the rumor has been circulating for more than ten days, hundreds of people were arrested and interrogated, and they were all ordinary people in Luoyang. It’s the secret operation of the enemy’s sneaking in, and it doesn’t look like it’s been instigated, so it’s worth pondering, and if Your Majesty doesn’t take a formality, this matter will become endless.”

Cao Pi frowned: "Can Zihua (Sima Zhi) have something to help me?"

"If your majesty has no doubts, you can announce it to the officials at the court meeting tomorrow. After your majesty personally interrogates the rumors in the city, it will be verified that the rumors in the city are all rumors. If anyone continues to spread them, they will be severely punished. This matter may be resolved..." Sima Zhi offered advice.

"According to Zihua's suggestion, all the ministers should go out of the palace first." Cao Pi nodded and waved his hands lightly. The people standing in front of him were all important ministers of Wei State. Even if some of these people really wanted to vote for Liu Bei, he could not say that he had doubts. The emperor's palace shouldn't be so obvious.

"Wei." Several people saluted in unison, and then exited the hall one by one.

Zhong Yao needed someone to carry him because of his inconvenient legs and feet. When Chen Qun was helping the other party outside the hall, he was stopped by Xiao Huangmen Gao Mou and asked to stay.

Chen Qun watched Zhong Yao leave, and followed him into the hall to meet Cao Pi. Seeing that the other party looked very bad, he comforted him easily: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body. Liu Bei uses newspapers openly and rumors secretly, so you don't need to pay attention."

"What the long article said is not bad, some rumors are nothing to be afraid of, but that is based on the premise of Wei Guoqiang. Now Liu Beihu has ascended the throne in Guanzhong and proclaimed himself emperor, Lantian has captured Yangzhou and threatened Huainan, and Guan Yu led the people of Jingzhou to confront Wen Lie in Nanyang. We If you don’t have an advantage all the way now, people’s hearts will change.” Cao Pi said seriously.

Chen Qun thought for a while, and said seriously: "Who would have thought that Soochow would be wiped out in three months? It has completely disrupted our combat deployment. Now we can only continue to wait and see and wait for changes to make adjustments. Don't worry, Your Majesty. The army and people of the Central Plains will fight against the enemy with all their strength, no matter which way Liu Bei goes, it will not be enough to break the balance."

"Zidan restrained Guanzhong in Yongliang, and Wen Lie rejected Guan Yu in Nanyang. I know both ways, but I know very little about Lantian in Yangzhou. Why is this person so powerful? Sending Xiahou Junlin alone, I have always been in my heart." I feel uneasy." Cao Pi frowned.

Lantian captured Yangzhou and threatened Huainan. Jiang Ji soon asked for help from Luoyang. Cao Pi left Zang Ba in Luoyang to promote Jinwu. The governor of Xuzhou led his troops back to Xuzhou and was ready to support the Huainan battlefield at any time.

"Maybe it's not that Lan Tian is great, but that Sun Quan himself is too incompetent..." Chen Qun comforted in a low voice.

Chapter 911 I'm happy for my brother, but I'm worried about myself

"Incompetent? Sun Quan really doesn't have much skill, but Qing followed me in the old imperial conquest and still failed to break through Ruxu. No matter how weak Soochow is, it will not be destroyed overnight. Then Lantian must not be waiting for nothing." Cao Pi's face was serious.

Chen Qun was taken aback when he heard that, and thought that he didn't say anything wrong just now, right?

After much deliberation, Chen Qun continued: "Lantian has the Jingzhou navy to help, so you don't have to be like us. If you want to go straight down the Yangtze River, the difficulty of attacking is much less, but Lantian is really not to be underestimated. If your majesty still Don't worry, you can send another general to sit in town."

"Send another general? Liu Bei's main force is concentrated in Guanzhong and Jingzhou. Many of our good generals in Wei have withered. Only Boren (Xia Houshang) is left in Luoyang. If Lantian is really that powerful, I have no choice but to let him out... ..." Cao Pi sighed.

Chen Qun suggested: "Lantian will destroy Wu in March, and Sun Quan's naval forces will surely take advantage of it. In the future, the offensive will surely defeat Sun Quanye. Wen Zhongye (Wenpin) has made no achievements in Wancheng. Why don't your majesty transfer him to Huainan? "

The Nanyang water army was defeated by Guan Yu three years ago, and has never been reorganized. Since Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Fancheng, Cao Jun has never been able to approach the Han River. The army directly gave up. Wenpin, who was originally the governor, could only be responsible for water transportation around Wancheng.

After listening to Chen Qun's suggestion, Cao Pi took it seriously, nodded affirmatively and said: "Your statement is true, Wen Zhongye is indeed not suitable in Nanyang, I will issue an edict tomorrow, are there still good generals idle in the country?"

"Actually..." Chen Qun hesitated to speak.

"Why is Changwen flashing words? You and I are so born?" Cao Pi reprimanded softly.

"The king of Rencheng is brave and good at fighting, if your majesty is really... please forgive my liege." Chen Qun bowed his head and hesitated to say the whole thing, because Cao Zhang's identity is really sensitive, and this person was suspected of forcing the palace before Cao Cao's death.

After hearing this, Cao Pi's expression changed drastically, and he thought that you, Chen Changwen, actually carried Cao Zhang out, but he knew that Chen Qun had no selfish intentions, so he replied calmly: "I will consider this matter..."

"Wei." Chen Qun let out a long sigh of relief.

Cao Pi looked at the gate of the palace and sighed: "Unfortunately, Taiwei Jia died of illness. I don't know who to ask for advice. Although his last plan has succeeded, I thought Yizhou would be in civil turmoil because of it, but I didn't expect Dongwu to have an accident first... "

"Doctor of the Taizhong (Liu Ye), in the past, he usually followed the late emperor's army to make plans, why don't your majesty ask him for advice?" Chen Qun brought Liu Ye out as well.

"I see..." Cao Pi nodded on the surface, but in fact he didn't have a good impression of Liu Ye. The main reason was that Liu Ye was so tactful that he didn't want to offend anyone, and he lacked the edges and corners of working for an official. Shang Liu Ye is a clan member of the Han family, and Cao Pi has never been so relieved of him.

"Your Majesty? What else do you want?" Chen Qun called Cao Pi softly when he saw Cao Pi was in a daze.

"It's gone for the time being, Changwen will step back first." Cao Pi waved his hand lightly.

Chen Qun saluted and was about to leave. He stopped suddenly after taking two steps. He turned around and asked inadvertently, "By the way, Your Majesty, I forgot to ask you something. How is Marquis Sima Wu? , but staying in the palace will always be inconvenient, if His Majesty trusts me, I am willing to take him home and raise him with all his heart.”

"What is Changwen talking about? Zhongda is a friend of the public and a friend of mine. He suffered such a serious injury. Although he is recovering relatively well, he has been reluctant to see people after the operation. Since Changwen asked him, Why don’t you take it home and enlighten me for a few days, without those words, you won’t be able to live? The journey of life is still long.” Cao Pi shook his head and sighed.

"Uh, I must have tried my best, I don't know where Sima Wuhou is now?" Chen Qunxin said that you should not preach to Sima Zhao any more because you play songs every night. The other party has hurt his vitals at such a young age. What evil did the Sima family do to encounter such a calamity.

"Let Xiaogao take you there, and send him back to the palace after enlightenment. In his current special situation, only I can give him the opportunity to display it."

Seeing Cao Pi's firm tone, Chen Qun asked in surprise, "Send him back to the palace? Could it be that His Majesty intends to..."

"Zhongda is wise and wise. Even if his son is an eunuch, he must be outstanding. Besides, I also lack clever internal officials. If you want to enlighten me, let him serve on behalf of my father." Cao Pi meaningfully asked .

"Wei." Chen Qun thought about it for a while and thought it was reasonable. Instead of letting Sima Zhao live his life, it is better to enter the palace and become a great eunuch.

Chen Qun understood Cao Pi's meaning, and then secretly took Sima Zhao home.

The two of them were silent all the way in the carriage. Sima Zhao was originally the age of youth and sunshine, but the unexpected accident made him feel ashamed, his handsome face was completely devoid of smiles, if not for the hatred in his heart, he would have committed suicide the moment he woke up up.

"Look, it's written by your brother." Chen Qun handed Master Sima's letter.

Not long after the news of Sima Zhao's injury reached Soochow, Master Sima wrote a letter to comfort his younger brother not to commit suicide, suggesting that he stay in Luoyang to find out the enemies of Sima's family. Pass it out, it just comes in handy at this time.

"Brother, isn't he..." Sima Zhao was originally cold, but he suddenly became excited when he heard Sima Shi's name. He heard the rumors that Soochow was destroyed during this period, and was very worried about Sima Master's life and death.

"Nephew, let's read the letter first." Chen Qun said kindly.

"You tell me about my eldest brother first." Sima Zhao said with firm eyes, and talked about the conditions with Chen Qun.

Chen Qun shook his head and smiled wryly: "According to the information I got, Sun Quan fled from Yangzhou in September last year and took your brother with him. At the end of the year, Qingzhou sent back information that someone found a large fleet by the sea. After a while, I sailed to the depths of the sea, and I guessed that it was Sun Quan's fleet, and they should be heading towards Liaodong."

"Why did Sun Quan take the eldest brother away? Besides, isn't Liaodong the territory of the Gongsun family? What does he want to do there?" Sima Zhao asked like a cannonball.

"Nephew, I don't know. Not long after you returned to the Central Plains, Sun Quan not only recognized your elder brother as his adopted son, but also married his eldest daughter as his wife. It seems that he attaches great importance to him. It is not known whether they fled to Liaodong. The direction is still unknown." There are many islands, maybe Sun Quan has other plans..." Chen Qun patiently explained.

Brother married?Sima Zhao hardly listened to what Chen Qun said later. He was happy for Master Sima, at least he could continue the blood of the Sima family. The long-lost handwriting also felt the encouragement of the other party.

"How?" Chen Qun asked meaningfully.

"Uncle Chen should have read it, right? Sima Zhao started the Sima family's blood feud from now on. Can you send me to the palace?"

"Nephew, don't get excited. Rest more time after leaving the palace. Uncle won't treat Zhongda's descendants badly. I'm still doing my best to investigate the case of your family. I will tell you as soon as I have news." Chen Qun was very excited when he saw the other party. , hastily caressed Sima Zhao's junior to comfort him.

Sima Zhao recalled what Hu Ke once said, whoever profited from the Sima Miemen case might be the murderer behind the scenes, so he replied seriously: "After searching for so long, there is no news, the person behind the scenes is by no means an ordinary person. Entering the palace to be an eunuch, you and I will work together inside and outside the palace, if you don’t believe you can’t find any clues.”

Chapter 912 Who Knows Sima Zhao's Heart

Chen Qun couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Cao Pi asked himself to enlighten Sima Zhao. He had prepared a lot of words but didn't start to say anything. The child actually asked for a pillow.

"Nephew, you have to think about it. Internal ministers are no match for foreign ministers. If you accompany the king for a long time, you will provoke Longyan's fury if you are not careful. The so-called companionship with the king is like companionship with a tiger." Chen Qun kindly reminded.

Sima Zhao snorted coldly: "Sima's family was murdered, what else should I be afraid of? It's true that His Majesty is dead, so why should I be afraid?"

"That's true, but my nephew doesn't need to worry too much. Your Majesty always mentions your father now, so he should take care of you. If you become an internal official, remember to keep a low profile, so that other eunuchs won't be jealous and will secretly do bad things to your nephew... "Chen Qun nodded as a reminder.

"I'm willing to be an eunuch, why should I keep a low profile? If His Majesty really favors my nephew, not only will they not dare to do bad things, but they will try their best to please me." Sima Zhao didn't care.

Chen Qun frowned and said worriedly: "Nephew, don't be too optimistic. Although Your Majesty and Zhong Da have friendship, if you consume too much, it will be hard to say later. You are still young, so don't be impulsive."

"Uncle Chen didn't know something. When my nephew was recuperating in the silkworm house, His Majesty personally came to explain it to me. The palace people in the courtyard flattered me afterwards. It is not wrong that the holy family has been used early. Even if I am an eunuch, I will not be busy. Do nothing." Sima Zhao's eyes flickered with a chill.

"Nephew, you..."

Chen Qun saw that Sima Zhao's temperament had changed drastically, and he was not as cute and cute as Sima Mansion. He wanted to persuade him not to be blinded by hatred, but he couldn't say it in the end because he couldn't stop him from taking revenge. , I am afraid that the child will not survive.

Sima Zhao lifted the corner of the curtain of the car and saw the busy traffic in the Luoyang market. He quickly put down the curtain, turned his head and said solemnly: "The Sima family was brutally exterminated. I lived with my elder brother in Jiangdong for two years, and then I was seriously injured in Huainan. My nephew recalled The experience of the past few years seems to have seen through the warmth and coldness of the world. If there is no Uncle Chen to take care of us, we are afraid that no one will care about us in Jiangdong. I will definitely repay your kindness. The Sima family's farm is gone, right?"

"Your brothers have not returned for a long time, and the foreigners next to you are worried about the barrenness of the land, so they temporarily borrowed it to cultivate it. Since the nephew has returned to the Central Plains, uncle will naturally ask for it for you. The Sima family's ancestral property will not be lost." Chen Qun packed the bag ticket.

Sima Zhao shook his head lightly, "They may not want us to come back. I'd be more excited to hear that my nephew is physically disabled, but I don't like those things outside of me anymore. The foundation of the family is gone. What's the use of coming back?"

Chen Qun quickly reminded: "Sima Zihua is from the same clan as your family. Now he has become Henan Yin and is highly valued by His Majesty. How can it be said that the foundation is gone? This person happens to be good at solving strange cases, and my nephew can get in touch with him a lot. "

"Their family has been in poverty for a hundred years. Although we are from the same family, we have no contact with each other. Now that we are in power, we don't know how to laugh at me, and we may not help sincerely." Infighting within the same family is often more serious, so Sima Zhao doesn't believe it at all.

"Zihua is upright and respects etiquette. Nephew, don't make wild guesses. Since you are determined to investigate the case as an internal official, uncle will continue to investigate in the outer court, and Sima Zihua will also go to greet him. I hope this matter can be resolved. The truth came out." Chen Qun shook his head and sighed.

Sima Zhao looked dignified, watching his legs alternately kicking, "Sima Zihua returned from a poor family to a rich family, the most important thing is to have power in his hands, that is the foundation of a family in troubled times, who dares to bully them now Home? So my nephew has to take one step, one step, one step, one step, one step, one step, to climb to the top..."

"What do you want to do?" Chen Qun looked at Sima Zhao in surprise.

Sima Zhao stopped 'playing' and replied solemnly: "I want to be Jian Shuo, and even Zhao Gao."

"Nephew be careful." Because of Sima Zhao's voice, Chen Qun was so startled that he raised the curtains of the carriage and waited carefully. When he found that there was no one around, he stroked his chest and added, "Whether it is Jian Shuo or Zhao Gao, the ending will be different." Well, nephew, don't think about it, your uncle will take care of your family's affairs."

Although Sima Zhao's words were horrifying, Chen Qun didn't take them seriously. After all, Sima Zhao was too young, so it didn't matter if he said angry words at this time. Is Jian Shuo and Zhao Gao so easy to be popular?Maybe after a while I forgot what I said.

How many people have finally realized the bold words when they were young?

"Uncle Chen, please take me back to the palace, my nephew wants to get used to it sooner." Sima Zhao seemed anxious.

Chen Qun caressed the back of Sima Zhao's head, and said kindly: "You can't rush to do big things. Your Majesty asked me to pick you up and live there for a few days. What's the matter if you go back so soon? Besides, Uncle Xuan (Chen Tai) hasn't been with you for many years." See, you two brothers have a good chat about the old days, and I will send you into the palace in a few days."

"Brother Xuanbo..." Sima Zhao sketched out the image of the other party in his mind.

Chen Tai is eight years older than Master Sima. When Sima Yi was still alive, the Sima family and the Chen family had close contacts. Usually, Chen Tai took the Sima brothers to play. Now that Master Sima and Sun Quan are away, Sima Zhao may be able to play on Chen Tai. Find some brotherhood.

Sima Zhao stayed at Chen Qun's house for a few days, and when he returned to the palace, Cao Pi put Gao Miao to study beside him. Cao Pi's care made the rest of the eunuchs envious.

In winter, the Central Plains is cold and freezing, and the borders of Tongguan, Nanyang, Huainan and so on cease fighting. It is rare for Cao Pi to live a peaceful life. The rumors created by Xu Shu can’t find the source, and Cao Pi stepped forward to deal with them coldly. In short, as if nothing happened.

When the flowers bloomed in March, Cao Pi and several concubines were admiring the flowers in the back garden. The guards outside the garden sent a memorial to Liang Xi, the governor of Bingzhou. Enter the palace to discuss matters.

Because Wancheng is very close to the capital Luoyang, Cao Xiu handed over the defense of Nanyang to Zhang Liao during the Chinese New Year, and brought Xu Huang back to Beijing to meet Cao Pi.

Since Cao Ren, the great Sima, died of illness, although Cao Xiu's position was only the general who conquered the south, he was in charge of the world's powerful tiger and leopard cavalry, and he was the actual military commander of Wei State.

Half an hour later, more than a dozen people gathered in the court, lined up on the left and right.

Wen has Hua Xin, Zhong Yao, Wang Lang, Chen Qun, Dong Zhao, and Liu Ye, and Wu Wei has Cao Xiu, Cao Hong, Xia Houshang, Xu Huang, Wu Zhi, Zhu Shuo, and Wang Zhong.

Cao Pi raised the melody in his hand and said with anger on his face: "Zhang Derong (Zhang Ji) died of illness in Longxi, Cao Zidan withdrew to Wuwei, Zhang Junyi was defeated in Xiaoguan, Yongliang counties have fallen into Liu Bei's hands, such a big thing happened in Guanzhong , I actually relied on the news from Bingzhou from Ziyu (Liang Xi), what are you all doing for food?"

The ministers in the hall looked around, thinking that you lost your temper with us, and we are not responsible for the intelligence work. If there is no information from Yongliang, you should ask the general of Tongguan to hold you accountable.

Chapter 913 Cao Pi angrily beheaded Cao Zilian

Cao Pi saw that everyone was like headless chickens, so he turned his attention to Zhu Shuo, who was in charge of the imperial army.

Seeing this, Zhu Shuo felt bad. His Majesty shouldn't be over-hearted, right?As the leader of the Central Committee, my main duty is to protect the safety of Luoyang. As for the detailed operation battalion entrusted by Jia Xu, he has already completed the task of instigating rebellion in the South China. Send someone, Your Majesty, don't look at me like this.

"Your Majesty, how did Inspector Liang get the news? The northern part of Bingzhou is grassland and Gobi, so it is impossible to know so clearly." Zhu Shuo asked in a low voice after leaving the class.

Cao Pi sternly reprimanded: "How else can I get it? Zhang Xi was defeated by Xiaoguan and chased by Huang Zhong to Lingzhou. They walked for a month in the deserted Gobi against the cold wind. How could such a stupid question be asked?"

"Uh...I..." Zhu Shuo was stunned by the scolding, at a loss for what to do.

Zhu Shuo was impatient, because he was close to Cao Pi, he didn't get along with the generals in the camp. When everyone saw him being reprimanded by Cao Pi, they smiled inadvertently, but Cao Pi only remembered that Cao Hong was secretly happy.
