Chapter 256: Wei Wulu
The western suburbs of Luoyang, Xianyang Garden.
The decisive battle of the Central Plains was about to break out, and Cao Pi summoned his relatives and the children of the ministers to hunt together in Xianyang Garden.
When Sima Yi galloped in early the next morning, Cao Pi's hunting interest had been ruined, he stepped on the Mazha low stool with his left foot, and held a hundred knives in his right hand, and was furious: "What are you hesitating about!" ”
Dong Zhao, Jiang Ji, Xiahou Nan and others hung their heads silently, and seeing that no one advised, the Su Wei Hushi came out to arrest them, and brought out more than 50 weeping and trembling officials who were kneeling in a ball, and beheaded them all in front of Sima Yi when he passed.
Sima Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he didn't frown after killing nearly three hundred people yesterday.
But Cao Pi started to kill people, even if he killed someone, it was a terrible thing, anyway, he was afraid.
One of his younger brothers, who was also in the hunting procession, greeted Sima Yi and talked as he walked, telling the cause of the incident.
To put it simply, just three words: the deer ran away.
Cao Pi led the children of nobles and officials to hunt, saying that when he was older, he propagated the martial atmosphere and tempered the military quality of the children of the ministers and honorable relatives, which was a major event related to the stability of the country.
Therefore, this activity is more ceremonial, and in order to achieve the success of the hunt, it is natural to arrange for officials to keep prey in captivity and release it when it is needed.
There was no shortage of prey in the long-abandoned Xianyang Garden, and the forests were high and deep, and there were many fierce beasts.
The place has been cleared several times by the army, and there are no beasts or prey.
The required prey was transported from elsewhere, and it was unfortunate that such a grand and symbolic hunting ritual was ...... The wooden fence where the elk were kept in captivity was damaged by the deer herd last night, and all the deer ran away.
The deer ran away, the symbolism was very bad, and the hunting ritual became a joke.
It must be that there are spies hidden among the officials who supervise the gardens and the deer herd, and they deliberately come to do bad things!
No one dared to admonish Cao Pi, who was in a state of anger, and Sima Yi came, and remained silent, waiting for Cao Pi's announcement.
didn't wait for Cao Pi's rumor, but first heard Cao Pi's roar from the big tent in the forest: "Hateful! Tell you Bao Xun! ”
Cao Pi's figure appeared at the tent door, his hands were torn, and a stack of paper sheets was torn by him and thrown on the ground.
Cao Pi also saw the tall Sima Yi in the crowd, held back his anger, returned to the tent to sort out his emotions, and officially summoned Sima Yi.
In the tent, Cao Pi was unhappy and sulking with words written on his face, as if a cabal had planned the deer herd of Xianyang Yuan to run **, just to make him ugly.
Seeing this, Sima Yi felt bitter in his heart, but he still handed over the written report to himself.
This is a report on the handling of deserters signed by Zhang Liao, and in three days, more than 200 people fled one after another, and 300 co-conspirators were captured...... A quarter of the 2,000 officials brought back to the north by Yu Ban at that time participated in this defection**.
If it weren't for the inability to infiltrate the front army, if it weren't for the Wankou Great Wall, these 500 conspirators might have coerced thousands, or tens of thousands, of troops to defect.
Sima Yi didn't dare to look up, and he couldn't see Cao Pi's face.
Cao Piben was resentful, but now his eyebrows were stretched, but he smiled lightly: "It is forbidden." ”
After the order was issued, Cao Pi looked relieved: "Zhongda, Tian Xiao was humiliated by Lai Min first, and then returned to Fengyi by boat. At that time, he struck the water with a lance, and he did his best in martial arts. During this period, there was a song recipe, which was called "Tai Chi Entry Song" by Yu Ban. ”
"Yes, the minister has also heard of it."
"The Song of Tai Chi Entering the Tao is fragmented and incomplete, it is a fragment, and there is indeed some artistic conception. Yu Ban should have said his work, but he deceived me. ”
As if to prove something, Cao Pi untied the Baipi Sword, took off the Yitian Sword from the side shelf, he held the scabbard in his left hand, and made a few sword moves in his right hand: "The so-called living man's sword and the dead man's sword are just different from rigidity and softness. Yu Ban is old, and he can only move lightly, and he has not learned to kill sword moves strongly. ”
Sima Yi looked like he was thinking, but Cao Pi snorted lightly: "He also advised me to say that a hundred steels are made into soft fingers, so that I can learn gentle sword moves." He also persuaded me to be magnanimous with the incomplete "Tai Chi Entry Song", and I was tolerant of him and treated Bao Xun leniently, but how did these two serve the court? ”
"Hammer!"
With the Heavenly Sword in its sheath, Cao Pi sat down tiredly and laughed: "What's the use of learning sword moves?" My original intention was to learn Tian Xiaoxian's martial arts in order to promote the army. But Yu Ban heard that the living sword can prolong life, so he devoted himself to studying this thing, he just wanted to live a few more years, and wanted to please me. ”
"I don't think about the danger of the country, but I do this flattering act, which makes me sick."
"There is no pure rigidity and pure soft sword moves, all exquisite martial arts are just a combination of rigidity and softness. Tian Xiao first used the sun and moon double lance, Yangshuo is just less yang, and the moon lance is soft and less yin, which can be seen. ”
"But Yu Ban doesn't understand, and he is still self-righteous, ignoring the high hopes I have for him!"
Cao Pi babbled about his opinions, and Sima Yi nodded imperceptibly from time to time to show approval and comprehension, but his heart was a little sour.
Compared with Cao Pi's mood, killing three hundred rebels who tried to defect on the front line was nothing.
Sima Yi didn't mention it, and listened to Cao Pi's confession.
With Yu Ban outside the tent, Cao Pi stopped talking, but Yu Ban was hanging, ready to solve this heart disease, and said to Sima Yi, and Jiang Ji, Dong Zhao, Liu Fang, and Sun Zi who came in together: "Now that the world is surrounded by tigers and wolves, I want to emulate the previous kings and hunt the minions of the country." ”
"But what did Bao Xun say in the recital?"
Cao Pi questioned and went to see, Liu Fang, who had an excellent memory, recalled and recited silently: "The ministers heard that the five emperors and three kings all did not know the foundation, and ruled the world with filial piety." Your Majesty is benevolent and sage, and there are the same ancient sages. The minister hopes to follow the previous generations, so that all generations can follow the example of today. How to repair the gallop in the funeral! The minister risked death to hear it, but His Majesty observed it. ”
Liu Fang's face was ashamed, and it took another four months for Cao Pi's filial piety to end.
This is a snapping sound of grabbing Cao Pi's face, Cao Cao's filial piety period is not over yet, no matter what the purpose, Cao Pi himself participates in hunting and having fun, it should not be.
Not long after, Liu Ye, the waiter, came to the tent with Bao Xun, the waiter and the captain of the horse.
Together with Yu Ban, he was passed into the account by Cao Pi, and Bao Xun in the big tent had a fearless look on his face, but he had a posture of being bold enough to reason with you.
They are friends with each other, and when Cao Pi was the prince, Bao Xun was elected as the prince's concubine and was Cao Cao's assistant minister of the prince.
It's just that there are too many disputes between Cao Pi and Bao Xun, just Queen Guo's younger brother is corrupt, and Bao Xun refuses Cao Pi's intercession, and they don't like each other.
Bao Xun, the captain of the horse, is in charge of Cao Pi's guards and honor guards...... Unfortunately, in the hunting activities of Xianyang Garden, Bao Xun, who was in charge of Cao Pi's guards, happened to be qualified to make a hunting plan.
The ministers and officials are still sitting in Luoyang and Yecheng to work, and now the close ministers who can come have come.
Cao Pi spoke: "Today's state affairs are turbulent, and hunting is good for the country. Or is the rhythm a cut higher? ”
Seeing that no one answered, Liu Ye replied before Bao Xun: "Hunting is more important than music." ”
Bao Xun, who was in a class behind Liu Ye, replied closely: "Fule, the gods are connected, the people are rational, the rule is long, and all countries are peaceful." Change customs, don't be good at fun. In the case of hunting, the tyrannical canopy covers the wilderness, and it hurts the fertility. Facing the wind and rain, isn't it against the obedience of the four seasons? Xilu Yin Gong went to Tangyi to watch hunting and fishing, and "Spring and Autumn" ridiculed him. Although His Majesty thinks it is a state affair, the foolish minister does not want it. ”
Then Bao Xun impeached Liu Ye again: "Liu Ye is disloyal, and His Majesty A Shun is too dramatic." Please have a judge to clear the temple. ”
Seeing that there was no one in the tent to refute, Bao Xun said louder, facing Cao Pi: "The ministers heard that the holy king of the ancient times did not harm people with beasts, and now His Majesty is prosperous and Tang Yao's education, and he kills more officials with hunting plays, and the foolish ministers think it is impossible." ”
It seems that spittle stars can splash on Cao Pi's face, Cao Pi rolled up his sleeves and wiped his face: "His Majesty Bao Xun lost his honor before he became the right middle general, in order to reflect on it." ”
He was always expressionless: "Yu Ban rebelled, punished." ”
Bao Xun turned his head sharply to look at Yu Ban, his beard shaking with his mouth open, and his face looked guilty.
Yu Ban just blinked, with a look of relief, breathed a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and looked peaceful.
When the Su Guard Hushi stepped forward to drag Yu Ban, Yu Ban's body was stunned and fell down, no longer moving.
Thinking of some secret reports about Sun Quan, Cao Pi's eyelids jumped, and he raised his hand in a trembling voice: "Yu is forbidden to take poison for fear of crime...... Remembering the old ministers of the first emperor, they were sent to their homes and buried by themselves. ”
