Xizhou, Thorn History.

Jia Xu, who had a white beard, held the letter in his hand, his eyes were very close to the letter, otherwise he would not be able to see the words on it clearly, this was given to him by the post guard, a letter from Luoyang, the post station soldier did not know who wrote it, Jia Xu got the letter, although he was a little curious, he was not in a hurry to read it, but arranged the political affairs in the next period of time, stayed until the evening, returned to the study, and then he turned out the letter.

"I have heard the name of Jia Gong for a long time, but I can't see it, it's a pity, now inside and outside the temple, such as Jia Gong's virtuous ministers, there are not many, people's hearts are corrupt, traitors are everywhere, and the ancient style is not coming...."Reading the letter, Jia Xu's forehead kept beating, he was a little confused, who wrote it, is this praising himself, or is he hurting himself?? Jia Xu was very dazed, he knew what his reputation was like in Luoyang, why did he suddenly become a model in the world, a virtuous and famous minister? ?

If I can be regarded as a virtuous person now, then how corrupt are the courtiers of Luoyang now!!

Jia Xu thought about it, and couldn't help but continue to read, "Si Nong's position is for the world's agricultural mulberry, there is a vacancy today, the incompetent person can be worthy of his position, and the importance of agriculture and mulberry in the country is really worrying to me...", seeing this, Jia Xu's whole person trembled, where did he not understand, this is the letter written to him today, Jia Xu read the letter carefully, put it on the case, and sighed helplessly.

I'm already hiding in Xizhou, why do people still think of me?

The Son of Heaven wrote this letter, the meaning is very clear, to invite Jia Xu back to Luoyang, to serve as the position of Si Nong, but, this letter is too strange, the words of the Son of Heaven, are all about their own weight, as well as their own noble morality, if you say heavy, Jia Xu can still understand, but this virtue, what is the situation? No matter how you look at it, the Son of Heaven seems to be a threat....

Jia Xu closed his eyes and thought seriously.

Anyway, this time Luoyang served as a Sinong thing, he would never do it, he finally escaped from Luoyang, served as a assassin here, and no one could threaten him, he was reading books all day long, eating meat and drinking, which can be described as leisurely and self-satisfied, unless he was stupid, he would go back, how good it is here, back to Luoyang, busy every day, you see those so-called temple ministers, who has survived to the present?

With the intention of killing me and not going back, Jia Xu began to think, how to refuse the edict of the Son of Heaven?

Although today's son has just ascended the throne, Jia Xu is still very clear that this son of heaven is definitely not easy to deal with, even more difficult to deal with than Emperor Xiaoxian, Emperor Xiaoxian looks irritable and angry, but in fact he is very emotional, whether it is for his family or his courtiers, but this famous benevolent monarch, it is different, this son of heaven is very similar to Emperor Xiaokang, but he is younger and not so scheming.

But even so, Jia Xu didn't dare to despise him, if he refused strongly, he was afraid that he would be able to see the embroidered clothes soon, he was a minister, he was not respectful of the will, and he would not return to Luoyang, no matter how he said it, it was a big deal, maybe Zhang Liao, who was heading for the west, would immediately turn around and tie himself up to see the Son of Heaven. Thinking about it, Jia Xu still feels a headache, how to refuse?

After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Xu still decided not to take the risk, if this is the temptation of the Son of Heaven, and he will not return to Xizhou, he is afraid that it will arouse the vigilance of the Son of Heaven, after all, he is different from those people in the temple, he is a local official, and it is very dangerous to disobey the edict, so he still has to go back, but after going back, he must also think of a good way, and he must not stay in Luoyang....

.....

At this moment, Xunfu ushered in an uninvited guest.

Xun Yu sat in the guest room, tasting the good tea on the side of the case, squinting his eyes, looking at Sima Yi in front of him, Sima Yi sat in front of him, looking solemn, Xun Yu took another sip of tea, only then did he laugh and asked: "So, Zhong Da suspects that I sent someone to kill Yuan Gong??" Sima Yi shook his head and said, "I haven't said this, it's just that there are some strange things in the case that need Xun Gong's help." ”

Xun Yu put down the tea, looked at Sima Yi, and said: "You ask...", Xun Yu is also gentle, if it is a different minister, Sima Yi dares to doubt, but he is afraid that he has been beaten out of the door, Sima Yi solemnly looked at Xun Yu in front of him, and asked: "Xun Gong, on the evening of April 18, I don't know where Xun Jun is??" Xun Yu almost laughed again, but this matter was related to the death of Yuan Gong, Xun Yu still admired Yuan Shao and didn't want to be rude to him.

Xun Yu said seriously: "Since March, I have been in the Houde Palace, busy reviewing the decrees of various places, and I can only return to the mansion every day close to the sub-hour, and before the hour, I will go to the Houde Hall again, and Your Majesty can testify for me.... Zhongda, I'm really curious, how can you suspect me?? ”

"I have a witness...."Sima Yi squinted his eyes and said: "When I was examining many soldiers of the court captain, I finally caught the soldier who poisoned him, this guy is now in my hands, according to his confession, he was ordered by the Xun family to do such evil things!" Sima Yi said solemnly, Xun Yu's eyes widened, pondered for a moment, stood up, and asked, "Maybe let me talk to that soldier face to face?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Please forgive Xun Gong, I won't let him meet others until this matter is investigated..."

Xun Yu nodded, and said solemnly: "Zhongda, you can rest assured, if this matter is really related to anyone in my Xun family, I will never cover up it, no matter who dares to destroy the name of my Xun family's loyalty and murder the minister, I will not let him go...", Xun Yu said, walked out of the door, looked at the slave, and shouted: "Call me all the Xun family who are still in Luoyang!! ”

When the servant heard this, he hurried out.

Sima Yi looked at him, frowned, and said, "Duke Xun, this matter is not just about you and the Xun family, and this matter cannot be revealed to anyone.....

"I understand...."

Sima Yi was chatting with Xun Yu, and he heard a servant announcing that someone was outside the mansion and had an urgent matter to find Sima Yi, Sima Yi heard about it, and hurriedly let him in, the person who came was a soldier, and the soldier walked to Sima Yi's side in a little panic, and said in a low voice: "Sima Gong, that Tingwei soldier died, just in Fangcai, he was also poisoned to death...", his voice was very low, but Xun Yu on the side could still hear it.

Sima Yi's eyes widened, and he turned his head to stare at Xun Yu.

"You told me about this for less than half an hour... I've always been here... What do you think I have done?? Xun Yu asked unhappily, Sima Yi sighed helplessly, and said, "I have something important, take the first step!" After speaking, he ignored Xun Yu and immediately left here in a hurry with his soldiers.

Watching Sima Yi leave, Xun Yu vaguely felt that things were not quite right, he frowned, sitting on the side of the case, he felt that Sima Yi seemed to be acting in front of him, there was always something wrong, he thought for a moment, raised his head, looked in the direction of the palace, thoughtful, he was thinking, but saw a person hurriedly walked in, the person who came was Xun Ji.

Xun Ji is now serving as the Yang Order, which can be regarded as a relatively important position.

"I don't know what the adults are looking for me, what do you have to say??" Xun Yu asked, Xun Yu waved his hand, let him sit beside him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "There is nothing else... In this way, you will go to Liu Ba later, in the name of the Xun family, to help some... Give away all the real estate under my name, and strive to arrange for a few more people to enter the relief station, regardless of the size of the official position, and order them to do their best to help the relief station..."

"Huh??" Xun Ji was a little surprised, his eyes widened, and he asked, "My lord, our Xun family is the great family that has contributed the most to Jimintai, why do you have to do this?" ”

Xun You frowned, and said unhappily: "If you go, you can go, Yuan Sikong is no longer there, this thing that leads the world's great clans, does good deeds, and is loyal and righteous, it has to be done by us..."

Xun Ji was still a little dazed, nodded, and left.

After sending Xun Ji away, Xun Yu sighed and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... That's all I can help..."

And Sima Yi, after leaving the Xun family, did not rush to Tingwei, but successively went to the mansions of the principals of the Zhuge , Yang, and Cao clans, and found a lot of people, and their words were average, so tossed for a whole day, Sima Yi walked towards Tingwei, and on the way, the soldier followed him with some doubts, and he didn't know why Sima Jun let himself run around with him, and they all repeated that sentence.

Sima Yi didn't make any explanation, walking on the road, Sima Yi said slowly: "These things, you are hiding in your stomach, I don't want to kill you for such a thing, if you don't want to die, remember what to say and what not to say...", he slowly turned around, stared at the shivering soldier behind him, smiled, and said, "You go back...."

"Respectfully!!"

Watching him walk away, Sima Yi continued to walk, he didn't take a car, nor did he ride a horse, he walked towards his mansion on foot, walking very slowly, looking at the surrounding situation, what Tingwei soldiers poisoned, and then died, these are naturally all lies he made up, and his purpose in doing this is also very simple, everyone is taboo to scare the snakes, and he just wants to scare these poisonous snakes, wielding the stick hard....

Now, he seems to be fighting with himself, substituting himself into the identity of Tingwei and the big clan, constantly thinking about how to target the big clan, and as a family, breaking the situation he has set up, it seems that there is an invisible hand, which is fighting with Sima Yi, the power is not small, and the fight goes back and forth, of course, they don't know who is fighting with Sima Yi, but they will definitely be afraid...

As long as you are afraid, then you will be able to do it yourself.

The only thing that made Sima Yi feel difficult to deal with was Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu may have seen through it, after he visited him, he did not send someone to inquire about the situation, and he did not even make any arrangements, but fortunately, he is a diehard loyalist of the Son of Heaven, in the temple, most of the words of the Son of Heaven were put forward by Xun Yu instead, the closest confidant minister of the Son of Heaven, Sima Yi believed that even if he saw through it, he would not come forward to destroy it.

It's just that Zhuge Liang is going to be difficult to deal with, fortunately, the Zhuge family is not huge, only the three of them are brothers, and they are not a big family that needs to be deterred by themselves, perhaps, they can let him help themselves....
