Chapter 1598 Don't Confuse Appellations
There were also a few close guards following Sima Zhao, but they could only stand far away and dared not persuade him. After all, they were not unclear about Sima Zhao's temper. Now they came forward to persuade him, which was just to make trouble for him.
After working as a servant by Sima Zhao for a long time, I naturally know when it will be close to him. For example, when Sima Zhao is in a bad mood, he may kill people, so they dare not persuade them even if they are beaten to death.
Sima Zhao had just used a cup to drink, pouring one cup after another, but as he drank, he felt that this was too troublesome, so he simply picked up the jar and drank it, and even the front of the clothes was wet. However, Sima Zhao didn't realize it at all and still poured it down one jar after another.
Although the jars used in the restaurant are not big, each jar of wine is only about one pound, Sima Zhao drank several jars and his alcohol content was amazing.
Sima Zhao didn't know how long he had been drinking. Anyway, there were five or six empty jars in front of him, and he was dizzy when he drank, but he seemed to be still unsatisfied and shouted loudly: "The store owner... brings wine... brings good wine... these broken wines are not good at all... as light as water... I want to drink good wine..."
Jia Chong walked in at this time. When he left the mansion, it was already getting late. After he came out, he went to look for Sima Zhao, but he did not find Sima Zhao. After asking, he found out that Sima Zhao had gone to a restaurant to drink. He hurried to the restaurant and found that Sima Zhao was drunk, but he was still asking for wine from the store.
Although the store owner did not know Sima Zhao, he looked at his luxurious clothes and his followers were all wearing brocade clothes and knives. It was obvious that Sima Zhao was either rich or noble, so they dare not offend such a big man. But now Sima Zhao was drunk and continued to ask for wine. Looking at this stance, it would be impossible to give it if he didn't give it. If he gave it, he was afraid that he would have a problem with drinking it. If there was a person who had a few things, it would not be enough to demolish his restaurant.
The store owner was trembling and didn't know what to do. Jia Chong came in and waved at him and asked him to bring a bowl of sobering soup. Only then did the store owner feel relieved and wiped the sweat from his forehead and retreated.
Jia Chong knelt down at Sima Zhao's table. Sima Zhao was sitting at this moment, looking like a big sword and a golden sword. When he saw Jia Chong coming over, he sneered and said, "It turned out to be Gonglu... Now that the upstart is on stage, why don't you hug your thighs?..."
Jia Chong advised: "Second Young Master, you have drunk a lot today. Drinking this alcohol requires moderate amount, as more will harm your body and may also cause trouble."
"I'm sorry?" Sima Zhao laughed strangely and said, "Ponglu, do you think I have something to do now?"
The store owner brought the sober soup over, and Jia Chong pushed the sober soup in front of Sima Zhao and said, "Second Young Master, my subordinates can fully understand your mood now. After drinking this sober soup, I have something to say."
Sima Zhao said angrily: "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go if you have nothing to do."
Jia Chong's idea was to adopt Sima You to Sima Shi. Now it seems that it was a completely unscrupulous idea, which made Sima Zhao steal chickens and lose a lot of rice. So Sima Zhao was extremely annoyed and naturally had no good expression on Jia Chong.
Jia Chong looked at the restaurant with many guests, and then lowered his voice and said to Sima Zhao: "Second Young Master, this place is not a place to talk. How about we change the place?"
Sima Zhao glanced at him, snorted, and said to the store owner: "Store, do you have a guest room here?"
The store owner saw Sima Zhao was drunk and obviously wanted to find a place to rest because he was drunk. He hurriedly said, "Customer, this is the guest room upstairs, please contact us."
Sima Zhao stood up staggeringly, Jia Chong hurriedly went to support him, but Sima Zhao pushed him away and said angrily: "Get up, I'm not old enough to walk, I want you to help me?"
Jia Chong smiled embarrassedly, and had to follow Sima Zhao, watching him shaking, and climbed up the stairs under the guidance of the store. The store specially arranged a room for them, and at the same time ordered the guy to cook a pot of strong tea and bring it in.
After some trouble, Sima Zhao woke up most of the wine, but his mood did not improve. He sat on the edge of the bed, drank the strong tea he had just cooked, and after a while, he said to Jia Chong: "Don't you have something to say, why don't you say it?"
Jia Chong said: "Second Young Master, the general's decision was indeed too sudden. We were all caught off guard-"
"Stop! The current general is Sima Lun. You should call Sima Taishi, don't mess up the title." Sima Zhao interrupted him and corrected him seriously.
Jia Chong smiled awkwardly. They had always been used to calling Sima Shi the general. He couldn't change his words for a while, but he still cleverly changed his name: "Second Young Master, this time the eldest young master suddenly gave up his throne to the ninth Young Master, which was unexpected. However, the second young master rested on his side. If the second young master had any place to send him, his subordinates would definitely die for his life and be heartbroken."
Sima Zhao looked at Jia Chong who was trying his best to show his loyalty to him and sighed helplessly. In fact, Jia Chong has always been loyal to him and has done a lot of things for him, including adopting Sima You to Sima Shi. It was also Jia Chong's idea. They tried to find a way to regain the already foregone situation through such a means.
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Although Sima Shi adopted Sima You, he was obviously not prepared to violate Sima Yi's death order and pass his throne to his heir Sima You. Instead, he chose Sima Lun, and when he was still alive, he handed over the position of general to Sima Lun.
No matter how good Jia Chong had, he could not change Sima Shi's heart, so all the efforts they had made before were eventually put to waste. Sima Zhao was in a bad mood and took his anger on Jia Chong. In fact, it was a bit too extreme to think about it. Jia Chong has always been loyal to him, and Sima Zhao also saw it and remembered it in his heart.
Of course, for Jia Chong, this is undoubtedly a political gamble. His resignation to Sima Zhao may be to determine that Sima Zhao has the opportunity to ascend to the top in the future. As his confidant, Jia Chong will have the opportunity to make a fortune.
Unfortunately, this political speculation has not ended yet and has failed. Jia Chong used to think that Sima Lun was too young, and after Sima Shi was blind, he would probably establish another heir soon. The only person in the Sima family who could resist the banner should be Sima Zhao. As long as Sima Zhao is determined to follow Sima Zhao, from then on, will it be a matter of being promoted step by step?
