Chapter 0927: Farce

Previous Chapter

The eleventh year of the establishment of the Han Dynasty was also the seventh year of the Taihe of the Wei State.

Since ascending the throne, Cao Rong has felt that he has never had a good time.

So he has always disliked the name "Taihe".

At the beginning of spring this year, someone in Mopo (that is, Jiaxian County, Pingdingshan, Henan Province) saw a green dragon rushing out of the well and flying into the sky.

At the same time, the first spring thunder sounded in the sky, and then a rain fell on the land of Great Wei.

The matter spread in the Central Plains and was soon reported to the imperial court.

After Cao Rong finished reading, he asked, "What is this omen?" ”

Tai Shi Ling said:

"In ancient times, there were well fields, and the so-called seeing the dragon in the well is 'seeing the dragon in the field'; the dragon flying in the sky can be described as 'flying dragon in the sky'."

"This is a sign that Your Majesty has been on the throne for several years, and will eventually achieve something."

When Cao Rong heard this, he was not happy but sad.

There are Liaodong and Xianbei in the north of the Great Wei Dynasty, Shu Kou in the west, and Wu Lu in the south.

It's really an enemy on all sides.

In the first year of his ascension to the throne, Wu Yu committed Jingzhou.

In the second year, the Shu people committed Longyou.

Then Xianbei invaded Xinjiang, Liaodong and Wu Yu secretly corresponded and so on.

In order to appease the anger of the Hu people, Tian Yu had to be transferred away from Youzhou.

Then he had to pinch his nose and admit the status of Gongsun Yuan, who took the position of uncle, in Liaodong, and even had to give him an official promotion.

Then came the Battle of Shiting and the Battle of Xiaoguan......

Great Wei has the land of Kyushu, but it is disturbed by thieves from all over the world.

Not to mention that even Liangzhou and other places have been taken away by Shu Kou now.

It's just that there are strong criminals outside, and there are wealthy families inside.

I think of all these years for the sake of this world, left and right, and I can't eat and sleep.

Sitting in the middle of the world, the dignified son of heaven fell into such an appearance, it is really sad to hear it, and it is sad to hear it, and the listener to cry.

I think so, but I must say good things.

But seeing that Cao Rong was very right, he was surprised: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the so-called 'seeing the dragon in the field' is a hexagram ninety-two words, which means that Your Majesty has ascended to the throne of a great treasure."

"It's just that the well is like an abyss, and there is a meaning that the hidden dragon should not be used, which is a metaphor for Your Majesty to ascend to the great treasure, you should first pay attention to the way of governance, and do not let state affairs move lightly."

"It's just that in the past few years, Your Majesty has repeatedly used swords, so this has led to everything not going well."

"Fortunately, now that the hidden dragon has soared into the sky, it means that the Great Wei has passed the disobedience, and Your Majesty can show the will in his heart."

Tai Shi Ling's explanation made Cao Rong blush:

"I see, today I know the mistakes of the past......"

Hearing the dialogue between the monarch and the minister, many ministers in the court looked sideways at Taishi Ling:

You're so good at talking!

Before the Battle of Shiting, how many generals were in secret letters and strong advice, just to dissuade His Majesty and order not to let Cao Xiu enter easily.

In the end, there was no persuasion.

Before the battle of Longyou, how many important ministers wrote and said bluntly, just to persuade His Majesty to rest and recuperate, and not to start the military lightly.

In the end, His Majesty still asked Cao Zhen to lead the army to conquer Shu.

After the two major battles, the foundation accumulated by Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen was defeated.

You finally stood up and said that it was a hidden dragon at that time, and you saw that the dragon was in the field.

Now you can fly dragons in the sky......

After Shu Kou annexed Liangzhou, Da Sima personally went to Guanzhong to garrison, and Dawei settled down for less than two years.

Are you telling us now that you want to "fly the dragon in the sky"?

Dragon, your mother!

Why don't you go to heaven?

The important ministers looked at the conversation between Cao Rong and Tai Shiling, and their expressions were blank.

Seeing this, Cao Rong couldn't hold back a little on his face, and said with a forced smile:

"What do you think about this?"

At this time, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen were both dead, and only two of the four auxiliary ministers remained.

Sima Yi led the army outside, and Chen Qun, who stayed in Luoyang, became the head of the important ministers.

At this time, he was the first to stand up, with a dead face:

"Your Majesty, a few years ago, the hidden dragon should not be used, so everything in the Great Wei is difficult. For example, if the dragon is flying in the sky today, it is the heavens that show His Majesty to work hard. ”

"The dragon flies in the sky, and the clouds and rain spread in all directions, just as His Majesty cultivates politics and favors the people. Those who are for the country should be based on the people, and the people should be based on food and clothing. ”

"If Your Majesty can make China free of hunger and cold, and the people will not have the heart to leave the heavens, then the so-called Shun Tian will know the time, and then you can sit and wait for the thieves to provoke."

It doesn't matter how you blow auspicious, but if you want money and food, you definitely don't have it.

The battle of Shiting and the battle of Xiaoguan have made the Central Plains now have the worry of hunger and cold, and the people have the trouble of centrifugation.

If you mess around again, you're really going against the sky.

Over the years since Cao Rong ascended the throne, he has repeatedly tried to establish his authority, but all of them have failed.

The original historical Emperor Wei Ming could insist on going his own way and turn a deaf ear to the suggestions put forward by his courtiers.

But now he has to make a humble and teachable appearance.

Otherwise, under the eyes of strong enemies, the monarchs and ministers of Great Wei cannot concentrate on internal friction, for fear that thieves will take advantage of the opportunity.

If it really comes to that time, the Cao family is afraid that if they want to end up in a situation like the prince of Shanyang, they will not be able to get it!

"I will keep in mind the teachings of the priest. But even though the heavens have sent auspicious rays, it must not fail to move in response to the ...... of heaven."

As soon as Cao Rong said this, Shang Shu ordered Chen Jiao, Shaofu Yang Fu and others to immediately want to get up.

"Therefore, I want to change the yuan, what do you think of Aiqing?"

Oh, it's a change of yuan, that's fine.

After all, auspiciousness fell from the sky, and changing the yuan is the proper meaning.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Mopo is not too far from Luoyang, and Cao Rong decided to go to see the well infested with green dragons in person, and the most important thing is to pay respects.

Then in February, it was announced that the official change of the Yuan Qinglong was announced, informing the world that there was a Qinglong in the Great Wei Dynasty.

In March, the news reached Wu and Sun Quan secretly laughed at it.

This kind of thing is auspicious from the sky, and you can understand it naturally.

There was also a phoenix in Cangwu back then!

Cao Pi said that there were yellow dragons and white pheasants before the emperor.

Before Liu Bei became emperor, there was also a yellow dragon near Jincheng.

Who hasn't played this set?

So Sun Quan was not laughing at Jianrui, but laughing at Cao Rong.

The mortal lord is newly ascending to the great treasure, or the country is about to rise, and the vision that appears is called auspicious.

With the situation of Wei losing land and suffering repeated defeats, it actually claimed that there was a vision.

I don't know if someone is cursing Cao Rong to die early, so that Wei can re-establish a new master, or do they think that Wei is not long in fortune and wants to establish a new dynasty?

Sun Quan smiled secretly while happily receiving the envoy from Liaodong.

Although the envoy sent to Liaodong last year was intercepted and killed by the Wei people on the way back, they finally formally established contact with Liaodong.

No, as soon as spring began this year, Liaodong sent an envoy over to pay tribute to Wu.

Gongsun Yuan was originally named General Yanglie by Cao Rong, and Liaodong was too guarded.

Now turning his back on Wei to Wu is enough to show that people's hearts are back.

What's more, with Liaodong, Wu has a source of war horses.

Emperor Wu was happy, so he decided to crown Gongsun Yuan as the king of Yan and grant amnesty to the world.

In March, Emperor Wu decided to send Taichang Zhang Mi, Zhijin Wu Xu Yan, and General He Da to lead an army of 10,000 people, carrying gold and silver treasures, rare goods, and nine tins, to Liaodong.

One is to show the grandeur of the canonization ceremony, and the other is to be able to bring back more war horses.

The scale is large and the specifications are large.

Unexpectedly, this decision was opposed by all the courtiers.

Prime Minister Gu Yong persuaded:

"Gongsun Yuan just sent an envoy to pay tribute, and he has never done anything to the state of Wu, so His Majesty treats him so kindly, is it too much of a favor?"

"Why don't you send soldiers back to send the Liaodong envoys back first, probe more about the wind, and see their intentions. In the future, my Great Wu will go north to attack the thieves, if Gongsun Yuan can really respond to the army, it will not be too late to be knighted. ”

Sun Quan was displeased:

"Gongsun Yuan traveled thousands of miles to send an envoy to me to call him a minister, and his sincerity is obvious. Now it is a move to buy bones. ”

"If it is thin, who is willing to surrender to the state of Wu in the future?"

Hearing Sun Quan's words, the first of the ministers, Zhang Zhao, suddenly got up and came out of the ranks, and said loudly:

"The land of Liaodong is just a county, and it is even more bitter and cold, Gongsun Yuan is a minister on the surface, but he actually dominates the land, and my Wu State cannot send officials to govern it, and the taxes cannot be collected at all."

"Gongsun Yuan is just afraid that Wei will crusade against Liaodong, so he has no choice but to send someone to the rescue, and I am afraid that it is not his original intention to be a minister."

"If Your Majesty wants to be crowned with a prince like this, then in the future, if someone raises the county into my Wu Kingdom and makes meritorious contributions, how should Your Majesty thank him?"

Although Zhang Zhao is old, he has a short temper and a straightforward personality.

These words were very polite, which made Sun Quan a little annoyed:

"Liaodong has sent people over several times, and Gongsun Yuan's intentions have long been clear, how can he say that it is not his original intention? Zhang Gong is like this, doesn't it make the world laugh at my Wu Guo's intolerable chest? ”

Zhang Zhao sneered:

"Then dare to ask Your Majesty, if Gongsun Yuan changes his mind and wants to understand himself in Wei, then my Great Wu Taichang, Zhi Jinwu, and the general will not be allowed to return, won't the people of the world laugh shamefully?"

That Gongsun Yuan is really just a county guard, but he asked Wu to dispatch Taichang, one of the nine qings, and the same as the nine qing's ruling Jinwu, to give him the etiquette of canonizing the king.

This is enough to make the world laugh.

Sun Quan became more and more angry, and he was almost about to quarrel with Zhang Zhao in the court.

Zhang Zhao refused to give in at all.

One is a monarch in his fifties, and the other is an old minister in his seventies.

Both of them can be regarded as old men, but when they argue, they are like young and vigorous young men, with red faces and red ears.

The two sides are at a stalemate.

In the end, Sun Quan stood up angrily and pressed the sword:

"The scholars of Wu Kingdom worship me when they enter the palace, and worship the king when they leave the palace. My respect for Zhang Gong is also the most important! ”

"I call myself me, and I have been there for several years, but above the court, in front of hundreds of officials, you are still humiliated by me several times, do you really want to try how long I can endure it?"

As soon as these words came out, the murderous spirit suddenly became born.

How do you know that Zhang Zhao is not afraid at all, and looks directly at Sun Quan:

"Although the old minister knows that His Majesty does not want to listen to the old minister's words, he still repeatedly does not know what to do, but it is because before the queen mother died, she called the old minister in front of the bed, left an edict to take care of his life, and entrusted His Majesty to the ears of the old minister."

In the end, he burst into tears.

Sun Quan almost vomited blood!

Not again!

Above the court, in front of hundreds of officials, talking about the queen mother's will, what else could Sun Quan do except throw the sword and cry with Zhang Zhao?

Zhang Zhao thought that after Sun Quan cried with him in the court, he had already changed his mind.

As soon as Sun Quan turned around and returned to the palace, he directly issued an edict, and still sent Taichang Zhang Mi and Zhijin Wu Xu Yan to Liaodong according to the original plan.

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he was immediately furious, complaining that Sun Quan did not listen to his words, so he said that he could not go to the court.

Sun Quan lost face, and also resented Zhang Zhao's behavior of ignoring the king's face, so he sent someone to seal the gate of Zhang's family with soil.

Zhang Zhao did not give in at all, and also blocked the gate with soil inside.

The two of them, who are both monarchs and ministers, and masters and apprentices, have made a farce.

There was a farce in both Wei and Wu, and Liangzhou was not idle.

General Guan Da and Secretary Zhang Da, who stayed in Wuwei, sent an urgent letter to Feng Tingshi, who was far away in Dunhuang, requesting that troops be sent to Juyanze and Duyeze as soon as possible.

And the people who came to deliver the letter were also unexpected.

One is Han Long, who has disappeared for a long time, and the other is Shi Bao, who has been following Zhao Guang around, going to the Hu people in the northern desert to find Shi Bao of qualified war horses.

"I've seen the prince."

"You don't have to be formal."

A master returned to him, which made Feng Tingshi very happy.

Han Long was not in the mood to talk to Feng Tingshi about the reunion, and saw that he said with some anxiety on his face:

"Prince, there may be changes over there."

Feng Yong's face froze:

"Merge states?"

Bingzhou is just east of the Loop.

If Guanzhong wants to be safe, it must be a loop, and if you want to set a loop, you can't avoid merging states.

"Don't panic, sit down first, take a sip of tea and talk slowly."

After coming to Dahan for so many years, fighting wits and courage with the ancient demons, digging a big pit for the family, playing against the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, and going south and north, Feng Tingshi is no longer the hairy boy of the year.

He first withdrew all his subordinates, then personally poured a cup of tea for Han Long and said calmly.

At the same time, he did not forget to signal Shi Bud to be at will.

This is his temporary residence, just in the courtyard on the edge of the Dunhuang Taishou Mansion, not far from Zhang's house, which is very convenient.

Shi Bao was flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward, first poured tea for Feng Tingshi, and then sat down at the bottom.

"Didn't Mr. Han go to Youzhou?"

"I went back to Youzhou, stayed there for a year, and then transferred to Bingzhou."

"Why?"

"Kebineng!" Han Long may have been in a hurry, took a sip of tea, and then continued, "A few years ago, Tian Yutian, the former captain of Wuhuan, suppressed and divided the Hu people. ”

"Therefore, Kebineng in the north of Youzhou could not unite the Hu people of all departments, and later Tian Guorang was transferred out of Youzhou, and Youzhou assassinated Wang Xiong Wang Yuanbo to appease the Hu people."

"Kebi was able to take the opportunity to annex the tribes, and his power increased greatly. Fortunately, Budugen, who is in the state, can have a grudge against Kebi to kill his brother. ”

"Last year, Budugen lured Kebineng to return to the mud, so that Kebineng failed to unify the Hu people in the north of Youzhou."

This was already last year, but Bingzhou is too far away from Liangzhou, let alone Youzhou.

Moreover, it was also the news of the grassland Hu people, so Feng Yong didn't know anything about it at all.

Kebi can always want to reproduce the Xianbei grandeur of the sandalwood era, and he can be regarded as a more ambitious Xianbei adult.

"Kebi's failure to unify the Hu tribe is also a good thing for the people of the two states, right?"

Regardless of the position, if you really want Kebi to unify the grassland tribes, it is the people of the north who suffer.

"It's really a good thing, but it's different now, that's why a certain person came to find the prince."

Han Long couldn't help but lower his voice:

"Kebi can be this person, by no means an ordinary person. He actually didn't count Budugen's actions last year, and wanted to lure Budugen to cling to him, make a mess and merge with the state......"

"Junhou, think about it, if Kebi can merge with Budugen, then the Hu people are only afraid that there will be sandalwood locust again!"
