Section 17 Centrifugation of kings and ministers
"Cao Cao deceived people too much!" With an uproar, the imperial case full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone once again became the object of Liu Xie's venting, and was overturned to the ground with a bone. The waiters present were all silent, and they didn't dare to gasp more. But Liu Xie didn't let go of these minions, but he saw him raise his hand and point at the noses of the attendants and shouted loudly, "You are all Cao Cao's eyes and ears!" Get lost! Get out of here! β
It is said that Dian Wei killed Zhao Yan on the street yesterday in the evening, but Liu Xie, as the Son of Heaven, did not learn of Zhao Yan's death until this morning. But who knew that before Liu Xie could recover from the news of Zhao Yanheng's death, Xu Lingmanzhong had already taken the lead in playing Zhao Yan's case in the early court. Compared with Liu Xie, who was black-eyed, Cao Cao's party obviously came prepared. Man Zhong showed Zhao Yan's secret correspondence with the so-called Zhang Sheng and his party in the court, as well as the confession of the Zhao coachman, to prove that Zhao Yan intended to rebel. As a result, the original victim became treason and rebellion in a blink of an eye, and a murder case became a rebellion case.
At first, Liu Xie sat on the dragon seat and watched Man Chong show the so-called evidence one by one, and sneered in his heart, thinking that such a trick of reversing black and white would only be believed by a fool. However, it turned out that the vast majority of those standing in the court were "fools". A small number of "smart" people are not only petty, but also unprepared, and in a few words they are pushed back by full favor with strong evidence. Even when Liu Xie planned to go into battle in person and ask Cao Cao Dianwei what was going on with the murder on the street, Wu Shuo in the hall actually shook his head at him and asked him not to delve into the matter. Even Dong Cheng, who has always been at odds with Cao Cao, unexpectedly did not make a sound from beginning to end. It was only at this time that Liu Xie realized that there was actually only one fool in the court, and that was him, the son of heaven.
Liu Xie, who understood this, only felt that he had experienced the most humiliating early dynasty since he ascended the throne. In the early years, when Dong Zhuo was dictatorship. Liu Xie can also excuse himself from being young. Even if he was in exile in Guanzhong, he was surrounded by Hun soldiers in the broken temple and went to court, Liu Xie could comfort himself with the fact that the Hu people did not understand the rules. Now Liu Xie is an adult, and Cao Cao is not a barbarian who does not understand etiquette. But Cao Cao not only did not revere him, the true son. He also unjustly killed the minister and pointed out the deer as a horse in public. So without waiting for the end of the early dynasty, Liu Xie suddenly got up and brushed his sleeves away.
Although the retreat from the court was a demonstration to Cao Cao, the more Liu Xie thought about it on the road, the more depressed he became. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. Liu Xie has always believed that the palace has been built by him as solid as an iron bucket. Because during the two years that Cao Cao went out to fight, Liu Xie arranged many henchmen to serve by his side in the palace. But who would have thought that no one would come to tell him about Zhao Yan's death last night, and he didn't even reveal the slightest rumor. It can be seen that the current palace is indeed an iron bucket, but it is not an iron bucket to protect Liu Xie, but an iron bucket that Cao Cao used to lock him up as the Son of Heaven. More importantly, since Cao Cao can block the news, then he can also find out the news. Thinking of some of the things I've said at the palace for more than a year. Some people I have seen, Liu Xie only felt a tingling in his scalp. Shocked and annoyed, as soon as he returned to the palace, he directly vented his anger at the servants who served left and right.
The Son of Heaven is all out of here, how dare he disobey a slave. In just the blink of an eye, the attendants in the hall scattered with their heads in their arms. And Liu Xie, who drove away the inner servant, seemed to be drained of his strength. He sat down on the ground in a dejected state. Seeing this situation, Wu Shuo on the side hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to help Liu Xie, but was thrown away angrily by the latter, "I don't need to help!" You go to sue Cao Cao, I will abdicate now and make way for Xian! Whoever likes to sit on this dragon couch sits! β
Liu Xie's roar startled Wu Shuo and Dong Cheng who were present. But seeing that the two of them immediately knelt down with their legs bent and admonished, "Your Majesty is angry!" Such heart-wrenching words must not be spoken! "yes, beware of the ears on the wall!"
"The wall has ears? What if the partition wall has ears! I've said what I should have said, and I've said what I shouldn't have said. Are you still afraid of being listened to by Cao Cao? Liu Xie laughed miserably.
When Wu Shuo and Dong Cheng heard Liu Xie say this, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Compared with Liu Xie, who was in the deep palace, Wu Shuo and Dong Cheng learned of Zhao Yan's death from their servants at about nightfall. But even if he is better informed than Liu Xie. In the face of martial law on the streets, Cao Bing could only hide in the house until dawn all night, let alone communicate with each other to plan countermeasures. In addition, there is a lesson from Dong Zhuo's tyranny, so neither Wu nor Dong came forward to oppose Cao Cao in the court. But as Liu Xie said, in the two years of Cao Cao's expedition, whether it was Wu Shuo. Or Dong Chengdu had negotiated with Liu in the palace to discuss strategies to deal with Cao Cao. If Cao Cao had planted a secret agent next to the Son of Heaven early in the morning, then what was the use of paying attention to his words and deeds now.
In fact, Zhao Yan's case hit Wu Shuo far better than Dong Cheng. After all, Dong Cheng regarded Cao Cao as another Dong Zhuo from the beginning. Wu Shuo, on the other hand, has always regarded Cao Cao as a capable minister of the Zhongxing Han. However, Cao Cao's behavior in the court today shows that he may not have Dong Zhuo's extravagance, but he is definitely more iron-fisted than Dong Zhuo. In the face of such an opponent, it is obvious that ordinary checks and balances will not work. But if he is really an enemy of Cao Cao, how can the Son of Heaven who has no soldiers and no generals be his opponent.
And just when Wu Shuo was worried about the future of the Han Dynasty, Dong Cheng, who was kneeling on the side, had already made up his mind not to do anything. But seeing him crawl in front of Liu Xie with his knees moved, he whispered, "Your Majesty, don't worry." Back then, Dong Zhuoquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, but where is Dong Zhuo now? β
Of course, Liu Xie remembered what happened to the fat man Dong who forced him to almost incontinence. So after listening to what Dong Cheng said, a trace of killing intent flashed in the eyes of the young Son of Heaven.
When Zhao Yan's case reached Cai Ji's ears, she had already left Youzhou and was on her way back to Donglai. In Cai Ji's impression, the official history's account of Zhao Yan's case is very brief, only saying that Zhao Yan often made statements to the Han Emperor, and Cao Cao killed him because of this. However, the relevant wild history mentions that Liu Xie had a dispute with Cao Cao over the Zhao Yan case. It is said that Liu Xie said to Cao Cao bluntly at that time, "If you want to assist me, you must respect me." If you can't do it, I'm willing to give up the throne, please think twice. Cao Cao's face changed greatly after hearing this, and he kowtowed again and again, saying, "Don't dare." But Liu Xie did not stop there, but secretly actively planned a coup d'Γ©tat, and finally broke out the famous Cloth and Belt Edict Incident.
Although it is Dian Wei who kills Zhao Yan now, judging from the news from Xu Du, Liu Xie still had a dispute with Cao Cao over Zhao Yan's death as recorded in the history books. Cao Cao said that he was sick at home and refused to go to court. On the one hand, he instructed Man Chong and others to use Zhao Yan's case to hunt down and kill political opponents. This attitude is tougher than his original historical expression. In fact, it is no wonder that Cao Cao behaved like this. After all, the historical Zhao Yan case occurred before the Battle of Guandu, and Cao Cao still needed to worry about Yuan Shao's interference. And now that Cao Cao has eliminated the Yuan family, his power can be said to be in full swing, so he naturally doesn't care too much about Liu Xie's reaction.
Thinking that the current contradiction between Cao Cao and Liu Xie will be more acute than the original history. Cai Ji, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's really eventful!" β
Hearing Cai Ji sigh suddenly, Cui Lin who was sitting in the carriage and Xu Gan, a famous man from Beihai, who had just entered the scene. I couldn't help but exchange glances with each other. In the end, Cui Lin tentatively asked Cai Ji, "Lord, what's wrong?" β
"Yushi Zhao Yan was killed on the street, but Prime Minister Cao Cheng had a dispute with the Son of Heaven over this case. Thou hast said how good it is. Cai Ji said, smiled bitterly and handed the letter in his hand to Cui Lin.
Cui Lin took the letter and got together with Xu Gan and read the contents of the paper roughly. But I don't want the two of them to look more solemn the more they look. Later, Xu Gan couldn't help but point to the letter and said in a trembling voice. "This ...... Isn't that referring to a deer as a horse? β
Compared with Xu Gan, who is angry with books, Cui Lin, who is Cai Ji's staff, thinks more about problems from the political aspect. saw that he deliberately glanced at Cao Pi, who was escorting outside the car, and then whispered to Cai Ji, "Lord Mingjian, Cao Cao is so arrogant and domineering. It is difficult to guarantee that Dong Zhuo's mistakes will not be repeated. The Lord has a marriage contract with the Cao family, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be implicated in the future. β
Cui Lin's little movements were all seen by Cai Ji. Indeed, the more fierce Cao Cao made trouble in Xudu, the more embarrassing Cao Pi's situation became. However, at the moment, Cai Ji has no intention of breaking the marriage contract, let alone making an enemy of Cao Cao. On the contrary, it is no exaggeration to say that Cao Cao is the prince closest to Cai Ji in terms of political views. Although Cai Ji did not agree with some of Cao Cao's high-pressure style, this did not prevent the two sides from cooperating in government affairs. For example, in the fight against the powerful of the scholars, Cai Ji and Cao Cao formed an alliance with each other's horns. Cao Cao's killings in Hanoi and Wei County greatly deterred the Haoqiang of Youzhou. And Cai Ji checked the Haoqiang merger in Youzhou. It also cut off the back road of the heroes in Jizhou. So Cai Ji waved his hand and said, "Deru's words are wrong. In the case of Zhao Yan, although Prime Minister Cao Cheng was suspected of protecting his shortcomings. But Zhao Yan's criticism of the government and his secret communication with Zhang Sheng's party in front can be regarded as deserved. Therefore, Gu felt that Prime Minister Cao Cheng was definitely not Dong Zhuo and the like. β
When Cui Lin heard Cai Ji say this, he knew that his master would not give up his alliance with Cao Cao for the time being. Based on this tone, he rode down the slope of the donkey and bowed to Cai Ji and said, "If so. Lin thought that the main could repair a letter to persuade Prime Minister Cao Cheng to reconcile with His Majesty. β
Cai Ji's eyes lit up when he heard what Cui Lin said, and he had a new plan in his heart. To be honest, with the contradiction between Cao Cao and Liu Xie, it is naturally impossible to release the suspicion because of Cai Ji's letter. But it was necessary for her to write this letter. Because this letter is not so much addressed to Cao Cao and Liu Xie, but rather addressed to Shilin in the world. In order to show the world her Cai Ji's attitude towards the Han family. Thinking of this, Cai Ji immediately stroked his palm and said, "De Ru is reasonable. This matter will be considered alone. β
Speaking of this, Cai Ji turned his gaze to Xu Gan, who was sitting on the side, and said politely, "Mr. Su Wenweichang is brilliant in writing, and it is a great luck to be assisted by Mr. Su Wen recently." β
Wei Chang is Xu Gan's table character. Although he is currently quite famous in the literary circles of Qingdao and Hebei, he has not yet reached the height of the seven sons of Jian'an in history. At this moment, hearing Cai Ji praise himself so much, Xu Gan was somewhat flattered, "I can't do a scribe, I don't deserve to be so praised by Qi Hou." β
"Mr. Wei Chang, don't be polite." Cai Ji waved his hand and went straight to the point, "Gu asked Deru to invite Mr. to come here today, just imagine asking Mr. to serve as the literary director of Qihou Mansion and teach Gu's fiancΓ© Cao Pi." β
A moment ago, he just learned that Cao Cao was referring to deer as horses in Xudu, but now Cai Ji wanted to teach Cao Cao's son by himself. Such a huge contrast made it difficult for the newcomer Xu Gan to adapt for a while. It is said that Xu Gan himself is not interested in politics, and the reason why he accepted Cai Ji's invitation to go out of the Shiqi Marquis Mansion was completely because of the collection of books in the Zun Jing Pavilion. In his opinion, as long as he can borrow those precious books in the Zunjing Pavilion, it is worth it even if he is just a doorman. But being a teacher for Cao Pi is another matter entirely. If Cao Cao is really another Dong Zhuo, then even if Cai Ji and Cao Pi keep a marriage contract now, they will part ways in the future. In this way, Xu Gan teaches well, and he may be an enemy; If it is not taught well, it may also cause Cai Ji to be dissatisfied. Xu Gan, who felt a bit of a dilemma, thought about it for a while and tentatively said to Cai Ji, "Lord, Cao Gong is such a person, he is not knowledgeable, I am afraid it will be difficult to teach Pi Gongzi." β
For excuses like Xu Gan, Cai Ji has long been accustomed to it. Due to Cao Pi's special status, many staff members are not very willing to act as Cao Pi's teacher out of consideration for the future. Fortunately, Cai Ji had already made up his mind about this, but when he saw her, he immediately expressed his attitude to Xu Gan, "Mr. Wei Chang should not refuse. Zihuan has always liked poetry and songs, so Mr. Wei Chang can teach him accordingly. β
"Yes, poetry and poetry are your strengths, and you don't have to shirk your longevity." Cui Lin also echoed. Speaking of which, Cui Lin had talked to Cai Ji's staff more than once in private about how Cao Pi should be positioned in Qiying. Although everyone's attitude towards Cao Pi varies, they all agree that this Pi Gongzi is more appropriate to follow the literature than the martial arts. And Cui Lin was not optimistic about the Cao Cai Alliance, so naturally he didn't want Cao Pi to do anything big. Therefore, after learning that Cai Ji had the intention to train Cao Pi in the direction of a poet, Cui Lin took over the task of inviting Xu Gan out of the mountain very actively.
Cai Ji and Cui Lin's repeated persuasion made Xu Gan feel a little bit at the bottom of his heart. Coupled with his yearning for the Zun Jing Pavilion, he readily agreed, "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." β
"That lonely is for Prime Minister Cao, thank you in advance Mr." Cai Ji bowed to Xu Gan, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Cao Pi outside the carriage after talking a few words with a scout, and hurriedly turned his horse's head and hurried towards the carriage. So Cai Ji stopped talking to Xu Gan, leaned out of the car window and asked Cao Pi, "Zihuan, what's wrong?" β
Cao Pile Ma hugged his fists and said, "Qi Hou, there are people worshipping the Xuannu Temple on the official road ahead." β
"Xuannu Temple?" Cai Ji frowned slightly, and immediately ordered, "Prepare the horse!" Go and see it alone. β
