Chapter 901: Chaos in the Wei Kingdom

"Vomiting blood? Faint? ”

As soon as the literary defense auxiliary officer heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

As an official sent by the imperial court to supervise the palace, the literary defense auxiliary officer certainly knew what his position was.

It doesn't matter if it's guarding, supervising, or even intimidating, he is just a vicious dog in the court in the end.

After all, the clan relatives are clan relatives, and the surname Cao is naturally more noble than his own surname.

His own recital has just been sent out, and something is really going to happen to Chen Wang on the back foot.

If you really want to say that this matter has nothing to do with you, who will believe it?

When the time comes, the prince will be forced to die, and he will be deducted from his head.

It's just a matter of moving your own head, and if you're afraid, you're afraid, and the whole family will be severely punished.

Not to mention washing at the moment, he didn't even get dressed neatly, so he hurriedly followed his subordinates to see King Chen.

"What's the matter with Your Highness?"

As soon as the man entered the house, he hurriedly opened his mouth to ask.

Instead of saying "how is Your Highness?" but asking "What's going on", to show that he didn't know anything about His Highness vomiting blood and falling into a coma.

It's just that he is powerful and blessed on weekdays, and everyone in King Chen's mansion is afraid and disgusted with him.

And at this time, most of the people in the house are just bowing their heads and being sad, who is in the mood to pay attention to him?

The literary defense assistant squeezed through the crowd gathered in front of Cao Zhi's couch and fixed his eyes, but saw Cao Zhi lying on the couch, his eyes were closed, and his face was like gold paper.

On top of that, there are red blood stains on the chest.

Princess Chen, who was closest to her, was standing at the head of the bed and weeping.

When the literary defense assistant saw this, his heart suddenly beat like a drum, and his hands and feet were cold.

For the first time, he saluted respectfully to Princess Chen:

"Dare to ask the princess, what happened to King Chen?"

Princess Chen is Cao Zhi's second wife.

His first wife, Muro, was originally from the Qinghe Cui family.

However, when Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were vying for the throne of the prince, Cui's family was considered by Cao Cao to be too ornate and violated the edict of frugality, so he was given death.

Later, Cao Cao gave death to Cui Yan, the uncle of the Cui family and the representative of the Cui family of Qinghe.

This can actually be regarded as a means for Cao Cao to suppress the Hebei family.

Compared with the Qinghe Cui family, the current Princess Chen can be regarded as from an ordinary background.

In normal times, the literary defense assistant officer was so respectful to her, she was just a little afraid of it.

It's just that at this time, how can she be in the mood to pay attention to the literary defense assistant?

I saw her shaking her head sadly:

"The medical staff is seeing you, and I don't know what the situation is."

When the literary defense assistant officer heard this, he had to forcibly suppress his anxious mood.

finally waited for the medical workers to finish reading, and the literary defense auxiliary officer was the first to speak:

"What's wrong with King Chen?"

The medical worker's face was a little unsightly, and he replied in a low voice:

"King Chen's health was not very good, but now he drinks excessively, which leads to a reversal of qi and blood, so he vomits blood and faints......"

The literary defense assistant officer's heart moved, and he hurriedly said:

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the wine?"

He was anxious to get rid of his responsibilities, and this was blurted out.

The medical worker naturally didn't dare to guarantee it, but said hesitantly:

"This ...... The villain has not yet seen the image of King Chen being poisoned......"

But Cao San couldn't help but say:

"It's impossible, Feng Jun once said that if the world is judged by literary brilliance, only King Chen can see it, and the rest are all busy."

"In terms of the poem that Feng Jun gave King Chen, how could he do such a thing to King Chen?"

He brought the wine back, and if there was a problem with the wine, then he would not be able to escape death.

What's more, the literary defense assistant in front of him suspects that there is a problem with alcohol, what is the difference between that and suspecting that he is a thief and poisoning King Chen?

It's a terrible thing.

Therefore, he has no scruples.

Literary defense auxiliary officers still have to be cheeky.

He had the idea of framing that picture, and naturally he had also read the poem.

Since Feng Thief can give such a poem that has been passed down for centuries to King Chen, if he insists that there is a problem with the wine, it is obvious that he is treating the world as a fool.

After all, the literati of this era still talk about the style of ancient gentlemen.

So as soon as Cao San said this, the literary defense auxiliary officer had a little scorn on his face, and he stopped talking.

"Get out!"

A faint voice came from nowhere.

Princess Chen, who was focused on Cao Zhi, exclaimed in surprise and joy: "Your Highness! ”

Everyone hurriedly looked at each other, only to see that King Chen woke up at some point.

"Your Highness, how are you ......?"

The literary defense assistant officer wanted to get up to it with concern on his face.

Who knew that Cao Zhi was glaring at him fiercely, his voice was weak but with disgust:

"Get out!"

"Your Highness......"

"Shameless villain, also worthy of talking about me and Feng Jun? Get out! Don't stain my eyes! ”

When did the literary defense auxiliary officer receive such a qi in the Chen Wangfu?

It's just that this is a sensitive period, and he didn't dare to stimulate King Chen too much, so he had to smile and say:

"Your Highness is in a bad mood, so the minister will not disturb Your Highness."

At the same time as he turned around, he was secretly ruthless in his heart, just waiting for Cao Zhi's body to improve slightly, and see how I give His Majesty a secret play!

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard an exclamation from inside: "Your Highness! ”

He hurriedly turned his head to look, and happened to see Cao Zhi's body straightening up, and he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood!

This scared him to death!

For everyone in the Chen Palace, Cao Zhi's serious illness may be something that the sky is about to fall.

But for Cao Ei, it's just a hurried glance.

Because for Cao Rong, with the control of the Empress Dowager (that is, Bian's), the last threat of his own uncle also dissipated.

Not to mention the other Cao clan relatives.

So in the past two years, he has been much more tolerant of the Cao clan relatives who are divided into various places.

Not only did the kings and princes of the Cao family send their sons in law to Beijing, but even Cao Zhi could enter Beijing to meet him.

Because of Cao Zhi's repeated performances before, Cao Rong's move not only showed his humility and acceptance, but also showed his importance to the Cao clan's flesh and blood.

It's just that this reputation is just a drop in the bucket for the foundation shaking caused by the connection failure in recent years.

Compared with Cao Zhi's serious illness, Cao Rong was more concerned about the news that the messenger brought back about Shu Kou.

In his opinion, the Shu people forcibly swallowed a Liangzhou with just one state, which was simply a snake eating an elephant.

Even if there are people like Zhuge Liang who are good at governing the country, they can be peaceful for three years and rule for ten years, and they are already blessed by heaven.

Of course, it would be better if the Shu people were like the Later Han Dynasty, burdened by Liangzhou and wasted national strength.

I didn't expect Feng Thief to be able to stay in Liangzhou for more than half a year......

Half a year!

It only took more than half a year!

Thinking of this, Cao Rong couldn't help but smash the music in his hand to the ground, and said hatefully:

"Feng thief! The most cunning of the Shu people! ”

At the same time, a sense of powerlessness also rose in his heart:

"Why do the Shu people with the power of a state, there are Zhuge in front of them, and there are Feng thieves in the back, but with the size of China, every time there is a major event, I often have to worry about myself, and no one can worry about me?"

At this time of distraction, the favored minister Lian Zhao came in with a piece of music and said softly:

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report in Qingzhou."

When Cao Rong heard this, his heart was even more impatient, and he said with a little impatience:

"Read."

The content of the chapter is not good news, it says that Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong secretly communicated with Wu Yu, and Wu sent a large number of boats to Gongsun Yuan to give gifts.

When Cao Rong heard this, his face was even more gloomy, and after a long while, he asked:

"What do you think of this?"

Although Lian Zhao is a villain, he is better than framing others in front of Cao Rong, but his talent is outstanding.

He seemed to have been prepared, and when he heard Cao Ei's question, he said without thinking:

"Wu Yu is a boat master, and now he wants to use the sea route to Liaodong and win over Gongsun Yuan; And Liaodong Gongsun Yuan surrendered to Great Wei on the surface, but in fact he had two hearts, and he was afraid that this move was seeking a way back. ”

"And Wu Yu lacks war horses, and Liaodong produces good horses, and Wu and Liao intersect, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the Great Wei."

Cao Rong nodded, "What you said is very much in line with my wishes." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again, "The princes of the court, whenever there is a major event, they either welcome He'er, or they don't dare to say more, for fear of losing and endangering their position, alas! ”

"If there are more people like you, why should I use such toil?"

Speaking of "Feng Yingheyer", Cao Rong thought of a person in his heart, and asked:

"That Liu Ye, how is it now?"

Thinking of every major event in the past, I discussed with Liu Ye more, and the other party could always give me advice.

Cao Rong couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the old.

When Lian Zhao heard this, his heart jumped.

He has been by Cao Ei's side for a long time, and now he is deeply favored by Cao Ei, and when he hears the words, he knows the elegant meaning, how can he not guess Cao Ei's thoughts.

At the beginning, Liu Ye was brought down by his own monk Chen Jiao, if His Majesty temporarily decided to use this person again, then where would he be?

Immediately replied:

"Back to Your Majesty, after Liu Ye was seen through by His Majesty, he had a madness, and now he is sick in the house, thinking that he feels guilty in his heart, and he has no shame to see His Majesty's ears."

"Sick...... Cao Rong frowned and waved his hand, "Then let him be the Great Honglu, after all, he is the elder of the Three Dynasties, and he can't be too harsh." ”

The one who is in charge of the rituals of the pilgrimage is the guide.

Let veterans like Liu Ye be appointed as Dahonglu and rank in Jiuqing, which can be regarded as a means of letting him retire with peace of mind.

Lian Zhao lowered his head and replied, "No." ”

Where Cao Rong couldn't see, the corners of his mouth flashed with a relaxed smile.

Thinking about it again, all the ministers in the court persuaded themselves to recuperate and not to use swords and soldiers, and Cao Rong also extinguished the idea of letting other ministers come to discuss.

I saw him ponder for a while, and then said:

"Proposed edict, Liaodong Gongsun Yuanyin has two hearts, counts with Wu Tong, orders Youzhou to assassinate Shi Wang Xiong, lead the Youzhou army, from the land, Runan Taishou Tian Yu Governor Qingzhou army from the sea to ask for it."

The big Sima Sima Yi is now in Guanzhong Tuntian, and he has not been in operation for several years, so he is afraid that he will not be able to go west.

Forced by Shu Kou, the main strategic direction of Great Wei is now in the west rather than the east.

Before solving Longyou and Liangzhou, it was difficult for the Great Wei to raise a large army to attack Jiangnan like the first emperor.

Shu and Wu are immovable, and those who can move seem to be only Liaodong.

Otherwise, if Liaodong is allowed to connect with Sun Wu, Great Wei will be enemies on all sides!

It is better to strike first, and control people instead of others.

"No."

Knowing that Cao Rong wanted to attack Liao by land and sea, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty of Wei really objected.

"Whoever is not swallowed by each other, and who does not invade and rebel, should not be lightly cut down. Cutting it down and not being able to control it is driven to be a thief. Therefore, it is said: 'The tiger and wolf are the road, not the fox.' 'Eliminate the big harm first, and then do the small harm yourself. ”

"Today, the land of the sea is a place where the quality is entrusted, the year is selected, filial piety, there is no shortage of tribute, and the speaker comes first."

It means that Liaodong is still a minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it should not be lightly attacked. If it is a crusade and cannot be controlled, but drives the courtiers to become thieves.

At present, Shu and Wu are the current enemies, and they must be dealt with with with all their might, as long as they can get rid of these two enemies, Liaodong will be peaceful.

"It is enough to get its people to benefit the country, and it is not enough to get rich to get its wealth; If it is unsatisfactory, it is for the sake of resentment and dishonesty. ”

Even if it can be conquered in one fell swoop, it is not enough to benefit the country by taking the people of Liaodong, and the wealth of Liaodong is not enough to enrich the country, but if it is defeated, it will be resentful of Liaodong.

And there was no open rebellion in Liaodong, but His Majesty openly crusaded against it, so there was a worry about losing the world's trust.

Cao Rong had long expected the reaction of the ministers, and he was not moved at all.

In the current situation of unstable foundation, it is necessary to divide the land of the family internally to gather the hearts of the people and strengthen the country.

Either the people are outside the country, show their might, and establish the prestige of the monarch.

The former is too difficult and takes too long, and it is fortunate that it can achieve results in ten years.

Even if Cao Ei could wait until then, how could Shu Wu let him wait with peace of mind?

How could those families be obedient and give up their land to the head of Qian?

The latter, although more difficult, is much easier than the former.

Shu Wu can't be moved lightly, is it possible to become a mere land in Liaodong, and it can't be moved?

Besides, now that Liaodong is connected to Wu, this is not considered a rebellion against Great Wei, so what is a rebellion?

It was precisely because of the defeat of the Great Wei connection and the decline in prestige that Liaodong was given the courage to move.

If Liaodong is not punished, who will take Dawei in the eyes in the future?

Cao Rong was anxious and fierce, and Wei Nai accepted Zen concessions from the hands of Emperor Han, and thought that he was orthodox in the world, how could he bow down and recognize his smallness and be laughed at by the world?

Therefore, it is impossible to take the initiative to tolerate it after being bullied by Wu like Shu a few years ago.

In the sixth year of Taihe, that is, the tenth year of Jianxing, in August, Cao Ei's edict reached the hands of Wang Xiong, the assassin of Youzhou.

After Wang Xiong received the edict, he did not act immediately, but asked to send a post to invite someone to come.

"The envoy summoned me here, but is there something wrong?"

On the second day, a dusty man entered the Assassin's Mansion and saluted Wang Xiong.

The person who came was none other than Han Long, who had left Liangzhou.

As soon as Wang Xiong saw Han Long, a smile appeared on his face:

"Send Yong, come on, come on, sit!"

Personally helped Han Long to take a seat, and asked someone to bring tea, Wang Xiong asked affectionately:

"I only heard about the return of the Yong from outside the Saiwai two days ago, how is it? Did the trip go well? ”

Han Long nodded and replied:

"If you have to worry about you, it's still smooth."

Yan Zhao is a generous person, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Hebei celebrities and scholars have a lot of festivals and heroes, and even have the atmosphere of raising rangers.

Although after the chaos, rangers have become rare.

But this culture still exists.

Wang Xiong, as the assassin of Youzhou, is not strange that he can intersect with Han Long.

"I know that I am familiar with the situation outside the Saiwai, and I invite you here this time, just to ask, at this time, the Hu people outside the Saiwai are still safe?"

"Over the years, the envoy has been gracious to the Hu people and appeased, but the Hu people have rarely entered the fortress and looted, so how can they be restless?"

Tian Yu, the former captain of Karasuma in Youzhou, suppressed many people in Saiwai in order to avoid the trouble of sandalwood and acacia.

Wang Xiong believed that Shu and Wu were the great enemy, and advocated appeasing the Hu people, so as not to disturb the border.

Whose proposition is better, Han Long thinks that he is just a ranger, and he is not qualified to do more beaks.

"It's just that the envoy, this time I went out of the fortress and found that Hu Shouke was able to swallow the Xianbei tribes in the east."

"If it is allowed to succeed, it will be owned by Liaoshui in the east and Bingzhou in the west."

"And Kebi can be the hero of one party, if it is allowed to grow, ambition breeds, I am afraid that it will be unsubordinate!"

When Wang Xiong heard this, his eyelids jumped slightly:

"Kebi can have ambitions for Liaodong Xianbei?"

Wang Xiong nodded: "That's right, I heard that now he is reorganizing his troops and horses and wants to go east in September." ”

Into the mother's!

Wang Xiong couldn't help but curse secretly.

He was at odds with Tian Yu and squeezed Tian Yu away on the pretext of disturbing the border, which does not mean that he blindly tolerates the Xianbei Hu people.

As a Youzhou assassin, he naturally can't be a fool.

Yidi and the like, afraid of power but not virtuous.

If Ren Kebi can grow stronger, he really wants to backlash against Youzhou, and then propose to appease Hu Ren, I am afraid that he will be implicated.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiong's face couldn't help but be gloomy.
