The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

Zhong Hui looked at Liu Bang's outstretched hand.

At that moment, he genuinely felt that this young emperor might truly possess the magnanimity of the former Gaozu Emperor.

He also played a significant role in the Sima family's usurpation of the emperor's power.

When he was escorted back from Eastern Wu, he never thought he would survive.

Just like Sima Zhao, he felt that the only suspense waiting for him was whether he could die a quick death.

Who would have thought that the emperor would actually choose to recruit him!

"I am terrified."

"In the past, perhaps I was truly blind."

Zhong Hui reached out his hand.

"From this day forward, I will be a loyal subject of the Great Wei for the rest of my life, and I will serve Your Majesty until my dying breath!"

A man should die for one who understands him.

Liu Bang's courteous treatment of scholars truly made him feel respected!

"I don't want you to die; I want you to live."

"Stay with me and create a perfect Great Wei."

We must never let the chaos of the Five Barbarian Tribes happen again!

Seeing their delighted state, Jia Chong, standing to the side, suddenly had an idea.

He was once Sima Zhao's strategist, while Zhong Hui was loyal to Sima Shi.

His actions were probably similar to those of Zhong Hui.

In addition, he did not think that his abilities were inferior to Zhong Hui's, and that he was even better at some of the conspiracies and tricks!

With this in mind, Jia Chong gradually gained confidence.

The fact that Zhong Hui was recruited by this young emperor can only mean that the young emperor must be in dire need of talented people around him.

He felt that he would be no exception and would be recruited just like everyone else!

From that moment on, he even thought about in his mind how to strike the right balance, how to show his loyalty while making the young emperor feel that he could be recruited.

He had to strike a pose that conveyed a certain air of superiority, and finally, under the persistent persuasion of the young emperor, he reluctantly chose to pledge allegiance to him.

He won't be as cheap as Zhong Hui!

Just as Jia Chong was brimming with confidence, Liu Bang helped Zhong Hui up and finally turned his attention to him.

Come, recruit me!

Jia Chong roared inwardly, already having figured out how to project his attitude!

“Hey, why is this guy still here? Wen Yang, drag him away and chop him up.”

Jia Chong: "?"

"Wha, what?"

"Why, Your Majesty!"

He was stunned.

He couldn't understand why there was such a big difference in treatment between him and Zhong Hui!

Both of them were clearly strategists loyal to the Sima family.

Zhong Hui's behavior was even more arrogant than usual!

"Why? Because I don't like you. Is there a problem?"

Liu Bang curled his lip.

Judging from the previous count by the immortals, besides Cheng Ji, Jia Chong was also one of the culprits who murdered the emperor in the street!

If Jia Chong hadn't given his approval, Cheng Ji wouldn't have dared to stab the emperor to death with a spear in the street.

Even if he were short of manpower, he would never use such a perfect match as the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick!

Jia Chong: "..."

"Your Majesty, spare my life! I am willing to be loyal to Your Majesty and will never have any disloyal intentions from now on!"

"Your Majesty, I must denounce Zhong Hui. When he served under the Grand General, he spoke ill of you quite a bit, and even went so far as to usurp the imperial power. He did far more than I have!"

At this moment, Jia Chong was completely stunned and panicked.

Although he couldn't understand why the young emperor disliked him.

But he was certain that the young emperor wasn't joking!

Because Wen Yang's sword was already drawn!

"You scoundrel!"

Zhong Hui was furious. If it weren't for the Emperor's presence, he would have snatched the sword from Wen Yang and killed him with his own hands!

However, Liu Bang simply waved his hand.

"What he did in the past has nothing to do with the present, and nothing to do with the future?"

“I don’t care who he was before, nor do I care what he did before. As long as he is loyal to me and works for me faithfully from now on, I can forgive and forget everything that happened before.”

His magnanimous demeanor not only brought tears to Zhong Hui's eyes but also moved Jia Chong to tears.

We're all just lackeys of the Sima family, yet the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs!

Why can he live, and even get promoted and make a fortune, while I have to die!

Unfortunately, Liu Bang did not give him another chance to explain. With just a glance, Wen Yang stepped forward, grabbed his hair, and dragged him out of the palace.

As the howling faded into the distance, Zhong Hui's eyes, besides feeling relieved, also showed a hint of confusion.

“Your Majesty, although I also dislike him, I must admit that he said something quite right.”

“What I can do, he can do as well, and he may even be more ruthless. In some ways, he might be more effective.”

"Furthermore, he is a loyal subject, while I have a family behind me. In comparison, he is clearly more in line with Your Majesty's requirements. Why..."

"Why choose me instead of him?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bang simply smiled faintly.

"You have a family behind you? What family?"

"The Zhong family? From the moment you decided to pledge allegiance to me, the Zhong family ceased to be a noble family."

"If I were to lose, do you think the others would accept a traitor again, or would they tear him apart and devour him?"

"Moreover, although I do not like the aristocratic class, I must admit that without people like you, it would be difficult to find so many literate people who are capable of holding official positions if we only selected from the common people."

"In conclusion, what I have done is indeed suppressing the aristocratic families, but I am also willing to support some of them."

"Like the Chen family, like the Jia family, like you."

Zhong Hui understood instantly.

Not only was Jia Chong a lone minister, but anyone who pledged allegiance to the emperor would also be a lone minister and would be isolated by the gentry of the world!

And there's no turning back!

"So, my dear minister, if you have no other concerns, then please pack up."

"tidy?"

"Go to Jiangdong."

"?"

I was just kidnapped and brought back from Jiangdong by you.

Now it was Zhong Hui's turn to be dumbfounded.

Why would I go to Jiangdong at this time?

Your Majesty, you certainly don't expect me to single-handedly help you reclaim Jiangdong!

Before he could even speak, Zhang Liang tacitly pulled out several letters from his sleeve.

“According to the intelligence Sun Chen has received, you went to Jiangdong with Sima Zhao and disappeared together. Your words are more likely to be believed by him.”

"You don't need to say much. Just tell him that you were betrayed by that little emperor of Eastern Wu, and hand these letters over to Sun Chen. You don't need to worry about the rest."

"If you can successfully stay by Sun Chen's side and serve as an inside agent when our Great Wei marches into battle in the future, it will be an even greater achievement."

"Of course, if you are not willing to take this risk, you can find an opportunity to come back. There will always be a place for you by my side."

Zhang Liang first introduced the task, and then Liu Bang calmed him down.

Zhong Hui was both excited and moved.

What was touching was that the emperor cared deeply about his safety and was still willing to give him a choice.

What's exciting is...

This task sounds like an incredible achievement!
