Chapter 423: Killing Three Birds with One Stone
"Obey the destiny of heaven?" Xiahou Hui sneered: "I can't complain that Yunliang looks down on you four-minded people. Usually sit and talk about the Tao, look at the world, and give up on me. If you're really in trouble, you'll just resign yourself to fate and lie down ......"
Xiahou Hui thought about it and swallowed the next sentence back. She remembered that this sentence seemed to be said by Cao Miao.
Xiahou Xuan glared at Xiahou Hui in embarrassment.
He felt that Xiahou Hui was not normal today. Is it because of being angry with Sima Shi, or is it because of something else?
"What do you think?"
Xiahou Hui breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty's intention should be to order you to come forward and summon Yunliang back to Beijing. With the current situation, Yunliang will definitely refuse. In this way, there is a suspicion of disobeying orders, and if there is a mistake in the future, it is also to blame, and no one can complain. If you are tempted to help Wu attack me, you will be even more self-isolating from the Great Wei and the Cao family, and nothing can be convincing. ”
Xiahou Xuan nodded in agreement. He also felt that the Son of Heaven was suspicious of doing this, but he couldn't find a way to resolve it.
He is very good at talking about the Tao and reasoning. He can also do it in an orderly manner by managing the country and the army and rectifying general affairs. Only this scheming and deceitful man, he not only did not do well, but also hated it from the bottom of his heart.
This is also the reason why he came to Xiahou Hui in the first place.
In this regard, Xiahou Hui is better than him.
Xiahou Hui hesitated a little and didn't speak for a long time. The stakes were high, and any slip-up could lead to unbearable consequences, but she had limited information. If you don't understand the situation, you can't decide.
The news brought by Xiahou Xuan came from the Son of Heaven, where did the news from the Son of Heaven come from? How much is true and how much is false? It's hard to say. Compared with these news, she was more willing to believe the letter received by Xiahou Yan, after all, it was directly from Cao Miao's own narrative.
She wrote a letter to Cao Miao in the name of Xiahou Yan, explaining the situation, but she had not received a reply from Cao Miao.
She was still a little worried, would Cao Miao see the flaws between the lines, and because of this, she would be suspicious and no longer trust Xiahou Yan?
Who is Cao Miao's most trusted person?
Xiahou Hui's eyes suddenly lit up. "Are you going to see your mother?"
"I'll go later."
"Let's go together." Xiahou Hui got up. "I'm going to change my clothes. I haven't seen them in a long time, and I miss them a little. ”
Xiahou Xuan's eyes flashed slightly, thoughtfully. Xiahou Hui suddenly decided to go to Buzhou Villa, I'm afraid it's not as simple as missing her mother and little sister, otherwise she should have asked just now.
Xiahou Hui entered the inner room and discussed a few words with Sima Shi. Sima Shi was very generous, not only agreed to Xiahou Hui's request, but also asked her not to worry about him and to stay in the villa for a few more days.
Sima Shi's voice was not loud, but it was not small, enough for Xiahou Xuan in the hall to hear it clearly.
Xiahou Xuan secretly smiled bitterly, but it was hard to say anything.
——
The brother and sister went out of the city, Xiahou Xuan rode a horse, and Xiahou Hui sat in a car.
With the coachman and attendant on the side, the two of them couldn't say anything, and they each thought silently.
When I arrived at the villa, it was already evening. Princess Deyang and Xiahou Yan were preparing dinner, and when they heard that Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Hui were coming, they were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly ordered the kitchen to add vegetables.
Affectionately said some gossip and got down to business.
Xiahou Hui made a suggestion: Princess Deyang came forward to visit Lady Chen, the concubine of Cao Zhi, the king of Junyi.
Mrs. Chen is a person with little presence. She is just Cao Zhi's concubine, she has no official title, and she usually welcomes and sends her, and she has nothing to do. But she has a special identity: she used to be the personal maid of the Empress Dowager.
When the Empress Dowager first visited Cao Rong, Mrs. Chen was likely to have experienced it herself.
No matter when the Empress Dowager first met Cao Rong, it can explain the problem.
Either the Son of Heaven is the Cao bloodline, and rumors are rumors.
Either the Son of Heaven is the bloodline of the Yuan family, and the rumors are not groundless.
After hearing this, Princess Deyang slapped her thigh. If it weren't for Xiahou Hui's reminder, she really couldn't remember Mrs. Chen.
Xiahou Yan held his cheeks and said suddenly. "If the Son of Heaven is really the Yuan bloodline, what should we do? What about Brother Yunliang? ”
Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Hui looked at each other.
Yes, if it is confirmed that the Son of Heaven is the Yuan bloodline, what should they do?
In other words, what should all the Cao and Xiahou families do? Do you stand up or acquiesce?
Default is unlikely. Resistance, the great Sima Cao Xiu, and the great general Cao Zhen are the key. But they were all supporters of Cao Pi back then, and they fought with Cao Zhiming for many years. Are you willing to support Cao Zhi now?
As a matter of common sense, this is unlikely. Even if they want to force Cao Rong to abdicate, they will support Cao Pi's son, and it will never be Cao Zhi.
Cao Zhi himself may not object to this decision, but what about Cao Miao?
Even according to Xiahou Hui's plan, there is no need to find out the facts, and there is a clear confrontation, as long as the possibility of Cao Rong passing on the throne to the Yuan bloodline is cut off, the apparent peace can still be maintained, and a question is still unavoidable: Can Cao Miao agree?
It's hard work, but it's making wedding dresses for others? This doesn't seem to fit Cao Miao's character quite well.
This is the biggest flaw in Xiahou Hui's plan.
"It's best to have a face-to-face interview with Yunliang, understand it with reason, and move it with affection." Xiahou Xuan rubbed his hands and said faintly.
"Who can do this?"
Xiahou Xuan looked at Xiahou Hui and did not speak.
Xiahou Hui was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Nonsense." Not to mention that I don't have the ability to convince him at all, even if I have, can I go to Jiangdong? ”
Xiahou Xuan smiled bitterly, but still didn't speak.
Princess Deyang nodded. "Yuanrong, don't say it, I also think only you are suitable. Of course, how to meet is a big question, but in terms of candidates, there really is no better fit than you. ”
Xiahou Yan said: "Yes, Brother Yunliang has been in Luoyang for so long, and he has only listened to the persuasion of his sister alone. If anyone could persuade him, it would be his sister. It's just ......" Xiahou Yan stuck out his tongue. "It's just that my sister is a little softer, don't scare him anymore."
Xiahou Hui remembered that time when Cao Miao was forced to get sick by her, and his face was red.
This is an unjust case, but she can't explain it for herself.
Moreover, she also felt that Princess Deyang and Xiahou Yan were reasonable, and in the whole of Luoyang, there was really no more suitable lobbyist than her.
"Even if I do, how can I meet him?"
Xiahou Xuan thought about it. "I have an idea, maybe I can kill three birds with one stone."
Xiahou Hui snorted disdainfully. She didn't believe that Xiahou Xuan would have any way to kill three birds with one stone. But I don't know why, she has some expectations, hoping that Xiahou Xuanzhen can solve this problem and let her make the trip.
"Ziyuan's body should have been half better, but he was depressed and difficult to resolve. At this moment, he should go out for a walk, not shut up. Xiahou Xuan said unhurriedly: "The Taiwei was injured, and the Son of Heaven took pity on the old minister and always wanted to reactivate." If Ziyuan is willing to go out, such as serving as the secret envoy of the Son of Heaven, and go to Jiangdong, the Son of Heaven will definitely agree. ”
Xiahou Hui's eyes flashed slightly, thoughtfully.
Xiahou Xuan continued: "Moreover, your sister-in-law and Yunliang have a marriage contract, and now that Yunliang has succeeded, it is time to come back and get married." Taiwei was old and frail, and Ziyuan went to ask about the situation, so as not to delay his sister's life events. ”
He smiled, smug. In this way, there are both public and private explanations. You also have the opportunity to persuade Yunliang in person, wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone? ”
