144 [141] Wisdom is born in the middle
Since discovering that Shen Xian was pregnant, Xun You didn't want to see Shen Xian very much, because every time Xun You, who was an old mother, saw Shen Xian's face that gradually became rounded, he couldn't stop worrying about how to solve the follow-up problems caused by her temporary coolness.
It is enough for other strategists to worry about how to help the lord grab the land, and we also have to worry about the lord's private life here.
Xun You thought indifferently.
After many years, Xun You said that he finally saw through Shen Xian's true face hidden under the stupid, stupid, funny, etc. - Shen Xian was simply the appearance of standing up with clothes in her clothes. Xun You wished countless times that he could travel back to the time when he waited for Shen Xian in the camp for a whole afternoon, if God gave him another chance, even if Cai Yong and Lu Zhi said something about it, he would definitely not hesitate to turn around and run, and the fool recommended himself to be Shen Xian's military advisor.
It's a pity that Xun You doesn't have a time machine, so the lord he chooses has to be assisted while kneeling.
Xun You doesn't go to Shen Xian, Shen Xian still likes to go to Xun You, anyway, she is the eldest father, where she likes to go, no one can stop her. When Xun Yu corrected the documents, Shen Xian shrank behind the screen and nibbled on grapes; When Xun You was talking to Sun Ce about strategy, Shen Xian still shrank behind the screen and nibbled on grapes......
"Lord, could you please change places?" Xun You couldn't bear it: "It's not comfortable here at all-"
"I think it's good," Shen Xian said lazily, "Is there anything you avoid that I can't say?" Bring me the letter. โ
Shen Xian was talking about the secret letter that Si Liwei had just sent in, and the little brother who sent the letter reminded Xun You that this was an urgent secret letter, but Xun You, as an obsessive-compulsive disorder, said that it was completely unbearable to do something else before the official document in his hand was approved, so he planned to change the official document first and then read the secret letter, anyway, there was only one line of words, and it couldn't delay much time.
At this time, Shen Xian proposed that she wanted to see it, and Xun You thought that reading the letter should not tire Shen Xian and the child in her belly, so he handed her the secret letter.
- Xun You, who is obviously disgusted to death, can't help but care about others, is so cute.
Shen Xian tore open the letter and glanced at it casually, and immediately changed from a lazy posture crooked on the screen to a posture of sitting upright.
Xun You had just finished approving the documents, he rolled up the bamboo slips and looked at Shen Xian puzzledly: "What's wrong?" โ
"This letter," Shen Xian shook the thin piece of rice paper in her hand, and said with an obscure expression: "It was given to me by Yang Sikong." โ
Xun You: "......"
A few months ago, Xun You had a big quarrel with his uncle Xun Yu over the issue of Shen Xian's seizure of power.
Xun You didn't have a good impression of this young emperor, and after hearing the news that Liu Xie sent someone to poison Shen Xian, even if Cai Yong's explanation at the time was that he didn't know, it was difficult for Xun You to trust Liu Xie and any of the old ministers around him anymore. Afterwards, Shen Xian didn't say anything on the surface, and didn't make some moves against the court, it looked like he was going to eat this dumb loss, but the lord didn't "investigate", it didn't mean that others would be silent, the strategists were originally the ones who wanted to clear all the obstacles for the lord, so Xun You has been secretly paying attention to the movements of the court, he is in Hanzhong, and the news from Si Li will come sooner.
There was no useful information at first - mainly there were no channels to deliver messages.
Until Yuan Shao led the troops to the battle, Si Li was left with Xun Chen and Fu Zhi to guard the house.
Xun You thought to himself that there was a good show to watch now, and Yuan Shao left Xun Chen behind, doesn't it mean that the door of Si Li is open to Yizhou.
However, except for Xun Chen who initially sent a very ordinary letter to Xun You telling him that he would stay in Si Li to help Yuan Shao preside over the overall situation, there was no news to pass on, not only that, most of the spies sent by Xun You and Zhang Lu to Si Li were found out and dealt with by Xun Chen, and although a small number of them successfully lurked, they couldn't do anything, Si Li's investigation was too strict, and everything was difficult to carry out.
Xun You said that he was a little congested.
But he can fully understand Xun Chen's approach, Xun Chen stayed with Yuan Shao not because he wanted to be an internal response to Shen Xian, but because he wanted to stay.
Without Xun Chen's help, it was difficult to carry out underground work, so Xun You had to put the matter on hold for the time being. He felt that with Xun Chen, there would be no other secret news sent in a short period of time except for the military newspaper, until he received Yang Biao's letter today.
"You have a good relationship with Yang Sikong?" After Xun You flipped through Yang Biao's letter and read it a few times, he asked Shen Xian suspiciously.
Shen Xian shook her head: "Wen He should have a good relationship with him?" However, Wen He also said that Yang Sikong once wanted to kill him, but he ran fast. โ
Xun You pouted: "Yang Sikong invited the lord to enter the city for a while...... Do you think this is a Hongmen feast? โ
Shen Xian thought for a while, and slowly shook her head: "I don't think so, Yang Sikong doesn't need to do this, who would jump into such an obvious trap - how did this letter come from?" โ
Shen Xian opened the curtain and shouted outside.
"Go through the internal channels."
Shen Xian frowned when she heard this: "Internal channels? Your internal channels can also let Yang Sikong know - what about people, let me come in and speak! โ
The enemy had already infiltrated the enemy, and he didn't want to quickly find out the traitor and rectify the Fa on the spot, and he dared to say to the boss with great interest, "We have been discovered!" โ
Is it really mentally retarded?
"Captain Liu, you misunderstood." Before Si Liwei appeared, a man dressed as a black-clad assassin slowly walked in, he took off his mask, and threw a bright gold medal on Xun You's table: "I am the internal channel. โ
Looking at Shi A, who was expressionless, Shen Xian quickly picked up the inkstone and slapped it, but unfortunately Shi A deviated his head and the inkstone fell to the ground.
It's a pity that I didn't hit, Shen Xian thought regretfully.
Shen Xian has a very strange temper recently, when others thought she was going to get angry, she was calm, others thought that this matter should not be angry, but she just fried the pot, for example, now, Xun You felt that Shen Xian threw the inkstone regardless of her image, and she must have been so angry that she was about to explode, but she just looked at Shi A with a smile like no one else in the next second: "Shi A, don't you really think about changing the boss?" โ
Xun Youxin said that there is such a digging of the foot of the wall, the lord! Then I saw Shi A and said lightly: "I follow my master." โ
Shi A paused, and seeing that Shen Xian didn't react, he continued: "Master asked me to help Yang Sikong send a letter to you, Lord Taiwei. โ
Xun You's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Shen Xian, signaling her to be careful.
In Xun You's opinion, no matter whether it is Cai Yong or Lu Zhi, Yang Biao or Shi A, as long as he used to be a person close to Liu Xie, his credibility will be reduced. Especially Shi A, this kid has always been elusive, and his martial arts are not necessarily the highest, but his ability to run away is first-class, no one has ever caught him, and he always appears when he is unexpected, like a ghost.
But Shen Xian felt that something was not right, the Huben Battalion was Liu Xie's direct subordinate troops, and he only obeyed the orders of the emperor alone, and the rest of the officers were not counted. However, did the Liu Association instruct Yang Biao to write such a secret letter to Shen Xian inviting her to come to Chang'an? Unless Liu Xie wants to kill Shen Xian.
But listening to Shi A's tone, it was not like that, but it seemed that Wang Yue was making his own opinion.
So there must be something unknown going on here.
Temporarily pressing her curiosity, Shen Xian cautiously probed: "Do you know what is written in this letter?" โ
Shi Ah shook his head: "I don't know, but I can guess." โ
This is not quite like Shi A's style of answering questions, Shen Xian became a little interested, she motioned to Xun You to send someone to monitor the surroundings and not let people get close, and asked along the topic: "Then guess what." โ
Shi A was silent for a while, and Shen Xian noticed that his lowered eyelashes were trembling slightly.
Shen Xian waited patiently, and after a long time, she heard Shi A slowly ask, "Lord Taiwei, do you want the throne?" โ
Xun You stood up suddenly, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard Shen Xian's face change and said: "You are too bold, you dare to ask such a big rebellious question, come on, drag him down, tie him up, send him back to Chang'an City, and hand it over to His Majesty to personally discipline." โ
The two Si Liwei entered in response, and they restrained Shi A, who did not resist, and wanted to drag him away, Shi A kept his eyes fixed on Shen Xian, as if he didn't care about his fate at all, and just wanted to get the result from Shen Xian.
Shen Xian raised her hand when Shi A was about to be dragged out of the door, and the Si Liwei got the order, and silently threw Shi A back to the ground and walked out.
"How long will he live?" Shen Xian suddenly asked.
Xun You looked at Shen Xian dumbfounded, and then looked at Shi A.
Shi A shook his head, not knowing whether to deny the matter of "Liu Xie is going to die", or simply not knowing how long Liu Xie would live.
"You remembered me at this time?" Shen Xian smiled slowly: "Who else knows about this?" โ
โโฆโฆ No," Shi Ah hesitated for a moment and then said, "Empress Fu and Master." โ
The emperor does have something to hide, but it's not his own problem!
A bright light flashed in Xun You's mind, and he stared at Shi A vigilantly.
Shen Xian continued to ask: "Do you want me to help heal the disease?" โ
Shi A shook his head, looking at Shen Xian's eyes indescribable.
"I understand," Shen Xian clapped her hands and said clearly, "He wants to kill me...... Because the queen is pregnant? โ
Shi Ah closed his eyes.
"It's a pity," Shen Xian smiled slightly: "Do you think Yuan Benchu will let a prince who does not have the blood of the Yuan family be born?" โ
"Yes." Xun You, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, he seemed to have regained his calm, and his tone was cold and calm: "The newborn child will be better controlled by adults who have the ability to think, plus the family of Fuhou has declined......"
He glanced at Shi A indifferently: "No one can stop Yuan Benchu from taking control of the government." โ
Shen Xian nodded, and slowly stood up with one hand on the table: "Yuan Benchu was contained in the Yanzhou battlefield, and Si Li only left Duke Fu and He Xun Youruo to preside over the overall situation, so Yang Sikong wants to join me to fight this hand, at least to ensure that the Han family is not easy to master, and the rest of them will not care too much." โ
"Anyway, there's the child in Queen Fu's womb, isn't it?"
I don't know what disappointing things Liu Xie has done, it seems that Yang Biao and others are finally going to give up on him and choose a new assistant, maybe it is the child of the queen of Fu, maybe it is Shen Xian, but no matter who the successor is, Liu Xie is a pitiful person with a capital and bold.
Because Liu Xie's staunchest supporters and strong backing have made preparations to abandon him, but he himself is ignorant and unconscious, and he still thinks that he has the power to fight back.
Although Liu Xie wanted to betray his relatives and leave him alone, Shen Xian didn't feel much joy, on the contrary, she shuddered fiercely in her heart: Look, this is the disgusting darkness under the power, as long as there is no use value, or there is a more suitable target, even the most reliable cronies may abandon you quietly.
If she wants to capture Chang'an City, Shen Xian will let Sun Ce lead her soldiers all the way in, she didn't plan to cooperate with Yang Biao from the beginning, even if Yang Biao can let her soldiers enter the city without blood, but Shen Xian, who knows that pie will not fall from the sky and everything is an equivalent exchange, understands that once she agrees to Yang Biao's request, there will be endless troubles in the future.
Shen Xian will not raise a butcher's knife against the Yang family, but it is absolutely impossible for her to let the Yang family and any family get a share of the imperial power. She wants to completely eliminate the situation in which the scholars control the government.
Even if it will take a lot of time, now that she already knows the ending, Shen Xian can't let herself go down the old path of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Two Jin Dynasty.
Shen Xian crumpled the secret letter into her palm: "Tell Lord Yang, I will go to see him." โ
Xun You glared at Shen Xian angrily: "Lord, you-"
"Come on, keep an eye on him, don't let him wander around-" Shen Xian intimidated the guards who came in in a cold tone: "If you let him go again this time, you know what will happen." โ
"Yes!" Si Liwei replied in a loud voice.
"Lord, you can't go in person." Xun You frowned and looked at Shen Xian: "It's been seven months, and when it's so dangerous, please take care of the fetus." โ
"I must go," Shen Xian insisted: "If it can be solved, the second brother's side will not have to fight with Yuan Benchu." โ
"That's Chang'an, not Xiangyang!" Xun You couldn't bear it: "Fu Gong and Xun Youruo are not Cai Deqi!" Yuan Benchu is not Liu Jingsheng! โ
"Since Yang Sikong came to invite me, he must have arranged everything," Shen Xian spread her hands: "I'll just follow Shi A in." โ
Xun Yu shook his head violently: "No, no, no, what if Yang Sikong cheats?" How do you know they must have betrayed-"
Xun You closed his mouth, and he looked at Shen Xian suspiciously.
"What do you think?" Shen Xian rolled her eyes: "Whether you believe it or not, I'm guessing." โ
Xun You looked at Shen Xian with caring eyes.
Shen Xian smiled slightly: "Come on, in fact, you also want to ask, but you don't dare to ask." โ
Liu Xie tested Shen Xian's bottom line again and again. Shen Xian knew that Liu Xie didn't want her to live in peace, but why did Liu Xie suddenly start to want to do this urgently, so anxious that he was about to make a move when Shen Xian was still helping him weaken Yuan Shao's power?
Unless something happens to him that makes him have to do it.
If it is Liu Xie's own problem, his best choice should be to restore Shen Xian's identity and let her enter the city to inherit the unification, at least so that the country will not fall into the hands of others.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Liu Xie hates Shen Xian to death, and would rather the two of them die together.
If it weren't for Liu Xie's own problem......
Liu Xie has an heir, and Shen Xian is the biggest threat to this heir, even greater than Yuan Shao.
Shen Xian is alive, and Liu Xie's children basically have no possibility of ascending the throne; Yuan Shao is alive, even as a puppet, the child can inherit the throne.
After thinking about this, let's take a look at the meaning of Hu Benying and Yang Biao.
Wang Yue instructed Shi A to help Yang Biao send a letter to Shen Xian, this action only had two meanings, one was that Liu Xie wanted to trick Shen Xian into the city to kill her, and the other was that Hu Benying and Yang Biao betrayed Liu Xie.
Shen Xian believes that Liu Xie really wants her to die, but if Shen Xian is dead now, and no one curbs Yuan Shao's power, Yuan Shao can completely kill Liu Xie and become the emperor himself, so why make a puppet to fool people? lost the meaning of existence, and Liu Xie's eldest son was stillborn before he was born.
So the only explanation is that Yang Biao and Hu Benying made the decision to give up Liu Xie for some reason, and chose Shen Xian instead.
In other words, Liu Xie is indeed preparing to deal with Shen Xian, he should choose to find a way to put Shen Xian under house arrest, and then control Shen Xian's men to deal with Yuan Shao, and drag it until the child is born, the best result is that Shen Xian's forces and Yuan Shao's forces will both lose, and Liu Xie's fishing will benefit.
The Tiger Benying took advantage of this, and on the surface, they followed Liu Xie's intentions, secretly united with Yang Biao, and asked Shen Xian โกโก to ascend the throne - Yang Biao did not want a puppet emperor who could control it, but an iron-blooded emperor who could end the troubled times and dominate the world and order the ups and downs of the four seas, after all, this battle could not be consumed by the dead family again.
Of course, in exchange, the new emperor must give more rights to the family, and everyone is win-win.
And Shen Xian, who saw through the calculations of the two parties, planned to use these two groups of people to complete her own goals.
Xun You suddenly felt that Shen Xian's IQ was actually still online, and he could force Liu Xie and Yang Biao to ask about the situation in such a short period of time, where did he look like a person who had been pregnant for three years?
Shen Xian stared at the map for a while, and clapped her hands with satisfaction: "That's it, let's arrange it, I have to enter the city." โ
Xun You: "......"
I took back my previous words, the lord is a handsome person who is no more than three seconds of trouble.
Seeing that Xun You was about to oppose again, Shen Xian hurriedly thought of a compromise solution: "Bring the eldest brother to us for a closer look, okay?" โ
Xun You snorted coldly: "Bo Fu will not let you mess around!" โ
Shen Xian perfunctorily said to Xun Yu "well", and said silently in her heart: He will, as long as I take him with me. 166 Reading Network
