Although the news of Cao Chong's death had a great impact on Cao Pi, it was still not greater than his impact on the Marquis of Luoyang.
If Cao Pi was only because of Cao Chong's death, he had to directly resist the family one-on-one, although the confrontation between the Marquis of Chang'an and the family was not very successful, it was definitely not to the extent that there was no hope at all.
And Cao Chong's death really seemed like no hope for the Luoyang Marquis Mansion.
The huge Luoyang Hou Mansion, thousands of people, tens of thousands of people surrounded Cao Chong, in order to not only work for Cao Chong.
They want to get something of their own, which can be prestige, fame, money, official position, or an opportunity to leave a name in the history books.
But with Cao Chong's death, everything was gone.
Without Cao Chong, why are they in the Luoyang Hou Mansion They are not very old, why Is it because of the so-called loyalty?
Of course there is loyalty, but only if you are loyal while you are alive.
In the Luoyang Hou Mansion, of course, there were people who were loyal to Cao Chong, but there were even more people who came because of the situation.
Now that Cao Chong is gone, it seems that they should not stay in the Luoyang Hou Mansion.
In the current whirlpool of Yecheng, they have two choices, one is to choose to follow other people, such as Cao Pi, or the family, and the other is to choose to escape from the world.
No matter how you choose, the Luoyang Hou Mansion is no longer the choice of these people.
For them, following Cao Chong and staying in the Luoyang Marquis Mansion is more like a life experience, more like their own experience, and more like a banquet.
And there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed.
After the death of the Marquis of Luoyang, it seemed that it was time for this feast to end.
At this time, the atmosphere of the Luoyang Hou Mansion was a little gloomy.
The lifelessness is the biggest interpretation of the Luoyang Hou Mansion at this time, and in the lobby of the outer courtyard of the Luoyang Hou Mansion, the atmosphere is even more stagnant.
Xu Shu sat on a high seat, his face was dark, and behind Xu Shu, Xin Chang Deng Ai and Zhao Yan also lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.
Zhuge Liang's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
This atmosphere lasted for a long time, but it will not go on like this forever, and the first person to break this atmosphere was the Zhen family.
Zhen Yao stepped forward, he glanced at Xu Shu, and asked, "Master Xu, the prince is really as outsiders say."
Xu Shu raised his head, his face was still dark, and he took a big breath, the reason why he said it was a big breath was because the sound of his inhalation could basically be heard by everyone in the hall.
After a while, Xu Shu spoke.
"If it is not bad as expected, the prince is indeed no longer alive."
Speaking of this, two lines of tears directly flowed on Xu Shu's face, the whole person looked painful and thin, with the bloodshot eyes, Xu Shu's pain was directly displayed in front of everyone from his heart.
"But that corpse was burned like this, Zhen Yao didn't think it was the body of the prince, maybe the prince was still alive."
If Cao Chong was still alive, he would definitely tell Xu Shu the news that he was alive, Zhen Yao said this, it was obvious that he was talking nonsense.
This is not only Zhen Yao's problem, but also the problem of most of the people present, whether these people are loyal to Cao Chong or just for profit.
Xu Shu glanced at Zhen Yao, turned his head and glanced around at everyone present, and said: "I also think that the prince is still in the world, compared to you, my relationship with the prince is not bad, he is my student, I also once delusionally thought that the prince is still alive, but judging from the clothes and ornaments of the corpse, this corpse belongs to the prince." ” "After the prince was imprisoned in Dali Temple, he didn't say anything to you, he didn't have any plan, Xu Fuzi just let the prince go deep into the tiger's den" Zhen Yao's meaning was obvious, and he still suspected that Cao Chong was still alive.
Xu Shu also went to see Cao Chong today, and the two would definitely discuss strategies.
Then Xu Shu left, and Cao Chong was still inside, proving that there was a countermeasure between the two.
But What about your countermeasures?
"I did meet with the prince that day, and also discussed the strategy, but we all felt that the prince would not be in danger, and Dali Siqing is full of favors, full of favors is not a member of the family, and we have placed a few jailers around the prince, so as to protect the prince on the side, who would have thought that the family would want to kill the prince and marquis with an iron heart."
In the end, Xu Shu sighed deeply, and his remorse was clearly expressed.
Even Xu Shu felt that Cao Chong was dead, so Luoyang Hou might really be dead.
Zhen Yao's face was a little lost.
The Zhen family got rid of Cao Pi and paid the price, but fortunately, Cao Chong was willing to accept him, because Cao Chong, as well as some industries under Cao Chong's name, made the Zhen family through the sadness, from a personal point of view, Zhen Yao was naturally grateful to Cao Chong.
But on a family level, he knew what he was going to do.
The current Luoyang Hou Mansion is like a big tree with rotten roots, and no matter how lush the upper layer is, it can't resist the collapse of this tree.
The Luoyang Hou Mansion definitely won't exist for long.
As one of them, the Zhen family has not many choices.
One is to support with the Luoyang Hou Mansion, but this will definitely not last long, and the only ending is that the Zhen family will decline with the decline of the Luoyang Hou Mansion.
This choice is not something that Zhen Yao can choose.
Then you can make another choice.
With the property that Luoyang Hou gave to the Zhen family before his death, he stood in line again in this whirlpool.

In the industries under the name of Luoyang Hou, such as glass, soap and perfume are all huge profits, if the Zhen family can take it for themselves, it is not a luxury to become the richest family in the world.
Moreover, if he succeeds in standing in line, it is not impossible for the Zhen family to become the number one family in the world, and he can even directly become an existence above ten thousand people under one person.
Or a prince Ambition grew in his heart.
As for Zhen Mi, who followed Cao Chong, he was even more worthless in his eyes.
Women have always been traded, even if this person is their sister.
Zhen Yao had already figured out what to do. call Zhen Yao took a deep breath and said to Xu Shu: "Since the prince is dead, then it is a little abrupt that I, Zhen Yao, and my Zhen family continue to stay in the Luoyang Hou Mansion." ” Zhen Yao was direct and expressed his desire to leave.
Xu Shu's face was very calm at this time, and his face was much calmer than before.
He looked at Zhen Yao deeply.
It is inevitable that the trees will fall and scatter, and the decline of the Luoyang Marquis Mansion is also inevitable, and it is even more inevitable that someone will leave.
However, the speed of this departure is too fast, too decisive After confirming Cao Chong's death, he was about to break away from the control of the Luoyang Marquis Mansion Zhen family, Zhen Yao is really good "Zhen Yao, are you sure you want to leave the Luoyang Hou Mansion tonight" Not only Xu Shu, but also Zhao Yan and Deng Aixin's faces also showed anger.
For Zhao Yan, he is a poor family, and his achievements are completely appreciated by Cao Chong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Chong is his Bole, since he has the grace of knowledge, he naturally can't leave the Luoyang Hou Mansion immediately after the death of the Marquis of Luoyang.
At the very least, at least to avenge the prince.
The prince died in Dali Temple in vain, shouldn't he avenge him before leaving the Hou Mansion I'm going to leave in such a hurry For Deng Ai, he was originally even more humble, but now Cao Chong is like a friend, like a brother, and he will not leave the Luoyang Marquis Mansion at this time.
As for Xin Chang, his sister is now the wife of the main house of the Luoyang Hou, no matter whether the Luoyang Hou is alive or dead, the Xin family is behind the Luoyang Hou Mansion, and now that he comes, he has no reason to leave the Luoyang Hou Mansion.
Zhen Yao looked at the angry group of people in front of him, and said: "The trees are scattered, the good birds choose trees to perch, and those who know the times are Junjie, if Zhen Yao is alone, he will naturally sacrifice his life to accompany the hero and fight the enemy for the prince and prince, but Zhen Yao is not alone, Zhen Yao has a big family behind him to feed."
Zhen Yao needs to worry about the lives of hundreds or thousands of people, so it's time to break up the banquet with the gentlemen. ” "Ungrateful people, I knew this was the case, I asked the prince to turn your Zhen family away, and now your Zhen family will not be like a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised." was scolded by Zhao Yan like this, Zhen Yao's face was blue for a while, and he didn't have a seizure in the end.
"Deshui, I think it's better for you and me to be a little more friendly in this last time together, after all, we have been working together for more than a year."
Xin Chang snorted and spat out a puddle of saliva.
"Working with someone like you for more than a year is simply the most columsy thing in my life."
"Xin Chang, you" "Three Slaves" "Enough" Xu Shu stopped loudly, and only after relieving the wine did he say: "Everyone has their own ambitions, don't be reluctant, since Zhen Yao wants to leave, then go." ” Zhen Yao barely showed a smile on his face, he saluted Xu Shu and said, "Thank you, Master." ” "But don't be so happy."
The smile on Zhen Yao's face gradually faded.
"What does Master mean by that?"
What do you mean Xu Shu smiled and said: "Before, in order to allow the Zhen family to continue to operate, the prince handed over the three industries of perfume, soap and glass to the Zhen family.
Zhen Yao's previous plan was to take these three industries for himself, but now that Xu Shu mentioned them, his face suddenly turned blue.
Zhen Yao thought about it for a long time before the words came out.
"My Zhen family has been making cattle and horses for the prince for more than a year, should there be some rewards, these three industries can be regarded as rewards for the prince and my Zhen family."
"Shameless" Xin Chang spat again, looking at Zhen Yao's eyes full of disdain.
"Your Zhen family relies on these three industries, and you don't know how much money you make every day, but you say that you are making cattle and horses for Junhou, you tell me, what cattle and horses you have made for Junhou" "I, I" Zhen Yao squeaked crookedly for a while, but he could only say one of my words.
He really couldn't cite what he had done for Cao Chong.
Annoyed and angry, Zhen Yao directly played a scoundrel.
"No matter what, now that Luoyang Hou is gone, and these three industries are now in the hands of my Zhen family, then he is my Zhen family," "Hahaha" Xin Chang raised his head and laughed a few times, and mocked unceremoniously: "It's like I borrowed you a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and then you said that the calligraphy and painting in your hands are yours, Zhen family, now there are only filthy people like you, I don't know if the Marquis of Ancheng Township, who is on the side of Taishan Mansion, will jump out of the coffin directly when he sees that the future generations are unfilial descendants like you, and now you Jizhou Zhen, and you still have the face to say that you are the descendant of the Confucian saints."
The so-called Jinghou of Ancheng Township is talking about Zhen Yao's father Zhen Yi, and as for why Xin Chang said that Zhen Yao still has the face to say that he is a descendant of Confucius, it is because from the perspective of blood, the bloodline of the Zhen family comes from the fourteenth grandson of Confucius, and it is barely okay to say that he is a descendant of Confucius.
Xin Chang's ridicule can be described as hitting the nail on the head, Zhen Yao's face suddenly became a little blushing, and after a while, because of the humiliation, it turned into anger and rage.
"My Zhen family, how do you need your Xin family junior to say something?"
Looking at this posture, the two of them are really likely to fight directly.
On the high position, Xu Shu slapped the table heavily and said, "Enough."
Xu Shu's majesty was still there, and Xin Chang and Zhen Yao were quiet.
"Xin Chang is too impulsive, something is wrong, but you Zhen Yao is not right, you think that the prince is gone, and the Luoyang Marquis Mansion is a place where you can go wild, if Xu Shu doesn't want this life, you must let the Zhen family disappear, how difficult do you think it is?"
This can be regarded as a threat to Xu Shunu.
Hearing Xu Shu's words, Zhen Yao's face immediately changed.
"What does the Master mean by this?"
"Return the three industries to the Hou Mansion, although your Zhen family leaves, if you don't return the three industries, from now on, your Zhen family is the enemy of my Hou Mansion, Zhen Yao, you are in the Hou Mansion in Luoyang, you should know that compared with the Hou Mansion, your Zhen family is not worth mentioning at all."
Hoh and ho and ho Zhen Yao closed his eyes, his face was hideous, and after saluting Xu Shu, he said, "Since the master said so, then my Zhen family remembers." ” As for whether to return the three properties, he did not immediately express his position.
Watching Zhen Yao leave, Xu Shu's face was expressionless.
For him, the three industries will definitely return to his hands in the end, the difference is whether the Zhen family will continue to exist or disappear from the world.

Zhen Yao left, and the originally depressed lobby was already filled with some murderous aura.
Xu Shu looked around and said, "Who else wants to leave, just say it together."
Xu Shu continued to say this, and after a while, someone finally stood up.
This person is none other than Lu Xun.
"Bo Yan, you have to go too" Lu Xun saluted Xu Shu and said, "My Jiangdong Lu family was originally attached to the Luoyang Hou Mansion for the Luoyang Hou, but now that the Luoyang Hou is gone, then the Jiangdong Lu family naturally can't continue to stay in the Luoyang Hou Mansion." ” The Jiangdong Lu family expressed their position, the Jiangdong Zhang family, the Jiangdong Gu family, and the Jiangdong Yu family stood up one after another.
The Jiangdong family attached themselves to Cao Chong in the hope of using Cao Chong as a springboard to get close to the power center of the Wei State, so that they would not become political victims in the future and be slaughtered by others, but at this time, the Marquis of Luoyang was dead, and the Marquis of Luoyang Mansion had no effect on them.
Departure is inevitable.
For the Maison, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.
Obviously, after Cao Chong's death, the Luoyang Hou Mansion could no longer retain the four major families. ay Xu Shu sighed with some pity and asked, "Who do you turn to if you don't serve the prince?"
Lu Xun smiled and said, "At this point, I don't bother the master." ” Compared with the Zhen family, the four major families in Jiangdong have no entanglements of interests for the Hou Mansion, and are more like helping each other and using each other.
Xu Shu waved his hand and let them leave.
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.
Those who remain will prove to be loyal.
Only such a person is the person who can really be trusted by the prince in the future. is also a person who can really work hard for the prince:
