The person Liu Kui brought from Jiankang was actually Pei Gai's fellow villager - he was a native of Wenxi County, Hedong County, surnamed Guo Mingpu and Jingchun, and he was a famous writer and exegesis scholar at that time.

However, Guo Pu is not most famous for these righteous knowledge, he is also a well-known monk and feng shui master at the turn of the two Jin Dynasty, and he is passed on with Ge Hong in the Book of Jin. The Jin book is filthy and mixed, and all the casual talks of gods and ghosts are recorded in it, and the record of Guo Pu is even more like a fantasy machine, if you peel off those obviously superstitious things, then Guo Jingchun's experience is roughly as follows:

Guo Pu's family background is not high, and his father Guo Ying finally built a peace and was too guarded. Jianping County belongs to Jingzhou, spans both sides of the Yangtze River, and borders the Badong area of Yizhou in the west, which belongs to a remote lower county with a sparse population and barren land. Even so, it is also overpromoted, it is said that it is because when Guo Ying served as the commander of the four hundred stone Shangshu, he had a lot of corrections to Shangshu Du Pre, so he was recommended by Du Yuankai.

Guo Pu's Taoism is said to have come from a master who lived in Hedong "Guo Gong". He himself is thirty years old and has not yet come out, just in time for the chaos in the world, after divination, he came to the conclusion: "Qianli will be annihilated by aliens, and Sangzi Qijian will be a dragon famine." So he took dozens of relatives and friends to leave Hedong and fled to Jiangnan. On the way, he successively attached to Zhao Gu and Lujiang Taishou Hu Kang, Xuancheng Taishou Yin You, and finally crossed the river and threw himself into Wang Daomen.

After all, this person's background is too low, so he only served as a servant of the book Zuolang, and his highest achievement is only to write the history of the Jin Dynasty with Wang Yin - he did not catch up with the good times, if it was in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, maybe he would be able to be worshiped as a general and a lord

When Wang Dun plotted against him, Wen Qiao Liang made Guo Pu take advantage of it, and Guo Pu couldn't figure it out this time - of course, it would be considered by the people of the time to be deliberately concealed - just to compliment Wen and the two of them for their "good luck". The two of them pondered, since we are lucky, of course Wang Dun is unlucky, so he instigated Emperor Jin Yuan to issue an edict to crusade.

Who would have thought that Wang Dun would also come to invite Guo Pu to divination, Guo Jingchun took the opportunity to advise him not to raise troops, saying: "If the Ming Duke starts an incident, it will not be long before the disaster; If you live in Wuchang, your life is unpredictable. Wang Dun was angry, and he slaughtered Guo Pu - it is said that Guo Pu had long known the date of his death, and even the place of death, this kind of absurd thing, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.

However, history has changed, Guo Pu has fallen into the subordinate, originally stayed very unhappy in Jiangnan, recently heard that fellow villager Pei should have entered the Guanzhong government, it is estimated that he will soon send troops to Hedong, kill back to his hometown, Guo Jingchun can't help but be moved. So he took advantage of Liu Kui's order to go north, and hinted to Sima Rui, I can go with me and help the king see what kind of person Pei Gong is and whether he can get along in harmony, Sima Rui immediately agreed.

Therefore, today Liu Kui pulled Guo Pu to watch Pei Gai, but when Guo Jingchun saw it, he was shocked and lost his voice, and then explained: "What I see today is just like seeing Han Xinye."

What does this mean? According to the historical records of the Huaiyin Marquis, the Qi people Kuaiche avoided Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and wrote Kuaitong in the book) to intervene with physiognomy to Han Xin, and after reading it, he said: "The face of the Xiangjun is only the marquis, and it is dangerous." The back of the monarch is unspeakably expensive. The implication is to ask Han Xin to "back" Han, saying that if you don't "back", you can't be a marquis, and there is a disaster, if you "back", it is unspeakably expensive - you can be the emperor!

So when Liu Kui heard this, he was shocked on the spot, and was busy asking Guo Pu, what do you see? Could it be said that Pei Gong's life should be betrayed, and he really has the share of the Son of Heaven? Guo Pu didn't dare to pack the ticket, saying that I was just taking a look at it, and I didn't have a divination yet, so I might not be able to do it accurately. So Liu Kui dragged Guo Pu back and asked him to occupy it.

Guo Pu is naturally not the Wuli general of the Han Wu Dynasty, he is a pure charlatan, but he is also different from the old-timer Kuai Che - Kuai Che is a debater, not a warlock, and his face is purely used to win Han Xin, the purpose is to say that Han Xin betrays Han Xin and stands on his own. Guo Jingchun learned Taoism at a young age, and he himself believed in this, but because of this, he didn't dare to make assertions.

Only after serious study can you know that Taoism is extremely profound, the will of heaven is unpredictable, and you are not good at learning, and it is very likely that you are wrong. As Guo Pu himself said: "The so-called seeing things like a god before, but seeing a person and his relatives and friends, the power is overturned, and it is no bigger than a state and a county" I used to give people faces, those who were small people compared to Pei Gai - even Wang Dao Wang Maohong - their scope of influence is limited, so the number of lives is relatively shallow, and it is also more stable, and it is easy to say. Pei should be different, "one of them is angry, a thousand troops are easy, one is shocked, the world is overturned, one is happy, the other is safe, and one is sad, the sky can be rain, and the times are changing because of their struggle, how can it be measured"?

To put it bluntly, people will win the day, as long as your strength is big enough, you can turn things around, and then change the fate of yourself and the people involved.

Besides, before the fortune telling, the king said that the day is expensive, and you will die within a month, and your fate is doomed, even if you want to change, you don't have enough time. And Yun Pei's "back" Jin is different, even if it comes true in the end, who knows that it is the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse? Of course, with Pei Gai's current authority in Chang'an, plus a large army in hand, it is easy for him to replace himself if he wants a mattress, but then what? First of all, it is impossible for Zu Ti to follow, and he will inevitably meet with his soldiers, and the territory that the Chang'an Imperial Court is barely able to grasp at present will be instantly reduced to a few counties in Guanzhong, and it is inevitable that the people's hearts will be scattered, and the troops will be centrifuged, and idiots will make this decision!

Guo Pu never said something like "there is a backbone in the back of the head, and it will be reversed in the future", because it is difficult to have a baby in the short term, but he is hated by the other party in vain. Therefore, he was frightened for a while, and said the words "just like Kui Che's seeing Han Xin", turned his head and was extremely remorseful, so he hurriedly explained to Liu Kui: Not necessarily, I don't pack tickets.

However, Liu Kui insisted on his Zheng, and Guo Pu had no choice but to take out the Xiaocao, burn incense and worship, and occupy a time - in fact, he was also quite curious, was what he just saw accurate? How will Yi judge?

He Zhan Zhan in front of Liu Kui, which is not a ghost, because the Book of Changes is one of the "Five Classics", which is a compulsory course for Confucians—although based on the educational resources of these years, most Confucians only know one classic, and the other four classics are probably known—most scholars know Zheng Zhan. But how to explain the specific hexagram, then Guo Jingchun said what it is.

After eight changes out of ten, the upper and lower Kun have a "peeling" hexagram, and the hexagram is in the sixth three. Guo Pu explained: "The mountain is attached to the ground for stripping, showing the virtue of the above, and making the people happy - what does Pei Gong mean? ”

Liu Kui frowned and asked: "This Jingyun 'is not good for you', does it mean that Yun Pei Gong should live in Chang'an and should not go out?" ”

Guo Puxin said, why do you remember so clearly? immediately smiled: "If the world is decided, the Zaichen should live in the capital and manage yin and yang, but now the world is swinging, how can there be no reason?" What I mean is that Pei Gong should live in Guanzhong, and it is not appropriate to move the Son of Heaven to Luo. ”

Liu Kui twisted his head and said: Your explanation makes sense.

The main capital of the Jin Dynasty is in Luoyang, now Luoyang has been restored, and Liu Kui from the construction of Kang Beidu, until entering Guanzhong, natural passage through Henan, has long heard that Zu Ti is rebuilding Luoyang City, and even in the old palace, then its hope is also the meaning of the capital is very clear. So for Pei Gai, there is an important issue that needs to be decided whether to return the Son of Heaven to the old capital before the world is decided. The meaning of today's hexagram may be to say: If you live in Guanzhong for a long time, you can carry the people; If the old capital is returned, it may be a great disadvantage.

As for whether it is unfavorable to the imperial court or to Pei Gai himself, Guo Pu did not say it clearly, and Liu Kui was inconvenient to ask.

Then he asked: "The hexagram is in June 3, 'peel it off, no blame', how to solve it?" ”

Guo Pu replied: "Xiangyun: 'There is no blame for peeling it off, and it is also up and down to lose. 'For the enemy to lose the order up and down, but to invade his land and be invincible.' Is this a cloud? Yunnan Yang Dawanghu? Or "pay attention to Liu Kui: "King Yunlangya?" ”

Liu Kui couldn't help frowning and was silent for a while.

Originally, the theoretical control area of the Jiankang regime was not only the land south of the Yangtze River, but also the Jiangbei region of Jingzhou, as well as Xu and Henan. Now that Pei and Zu have gone on the Northern Expedition, Pei should return to Chang'an to govern, which is equivalent to saying that Xu and Yu are "stripped" from Jiankang and directly subordinate to the Chang'an court, even if the Jiangbei region of Jingzhou may not be stable - if another fifth Yi is sent over, there will be no Pei should attack him.

Therefore, Liu Kui instinctively felt that this "stripping is not to blame, and losing the upper and lower levels" refers to the Jiankang regime, because he asked from Jiankang himself, and Guo Pu, who also came from Jiankang, was Zhen. In Jiankang City, the overseas Chinese family headed by Wang Dao is in charge of government affairs, and Sima Rui is just hanging the arch, which can be regarded as "losing the upper and lower levels". The meaning of the occupation is that if Jiangdong cannot change this disorderly situation, then Pei should gradually encroach on its land

Sure enough, when I came this time, the cleansing on my shoulders was indeed very heavy!

He pondered for a long time, and then remembered and asked Guo Pu: "But what does Yu Qing Shicai say on the street?" Guo Pu spread his hands: "There is no clear judgment, or a mistake, or it is not a matter of several years, and there are many variables, so it cannot be solved." ”

Liu Kui sighed lightly and said, "That's it." In the past, when Wang Mang was self-denying and virtuous, on the day when Wei Wu first coerced the Son of Heaven, how could he have the intention of usurping the Han? When the time comes, it is beyond the power of manpower to recover. And if the sky wants to destroy the Jin, that is, if you don't die in Pei, you will also die in Hu, how dare we peep into the sky? I can only try to trek the current situation. Then he took care of Guo Pu: "Jing Chun, today's matter, out of Qing's mouth, into my ears, be careful not to let the third party know." ”

Guo Pu said of course, I don't have such a big mouth.

So Liu Kui said: "The matter cannot be delayed, the time must not be delayed, I will wait for today to go to the assassination of Pei Gong." ”

——————————

When Pei Gai first entered Chang'an, he had a long talk with Liang Fen about the current situation. Since Liang Fen has decided to cooperate with Pei Gai, he will no longer play falsely, and frankly admit that for the Chang'an Imperial Court, there are now three major enemies.

The first is naturally Hu Kou, and it also includes Shile in Hebei - at that time, the killing of Wang Jun had not yet been transmitted to Guannei, so in Liang Fen's view, the slave was not afraid, if Pingyang was broken, even if it could not be appeased as Liu Kun said, it could be easily exterminated, and Pei should not argue with him too much - the second was Sima Bao of Qinzhou, and the third was Sima Rui of Jiankang.

Liang Fen said: "The reason why my Jin is declining is because of the troubles of the kings, each wanting to govern, and even coveting the artifact, which is the reason for attacking each other. If Empress Yang Jun is punished, Empress Jia does not satirize the King of Chu and harms the King of Runan, why is this so? ”

Pei Cai took the opportunity to say: "Situ thinks, is this all Hou Jia's fault?" I privately thought that Emperor Wu made the kings out of the town and made each one have strong troops, which was the cause of the chaos."

Liang Fen raised his right hand, palmed forward, and gestured towards Pei Gaiyi, which means: It's okay, stop here, don't talk about it anymore - it's not that I don't know this truth, but it is better to say less about the governance of Emperor Wu. But then he followed up on Pegai's words and said:

"It is the old Xiong clan to sit big, will become a trouble for the court, when the former filial piety and filial piety of the emperor, because of the disturbance of Hu Kou, the king of Nanyang has to refer to the previous generation of Sima Mo) to sit in the Guanzhong, so that the president of the king of Langya Jiangnan, and if Hu Kou is established, then the two kings will be killed, and the society can be safe."

Pei Gai muttered: "The king of Nanyang is not evil, and cut off the Longdao, Ming and the court are enemies, wait for me to collect the whole Yong first, and then you can lead the victorious army to bow to the heavens." However, Langya Wang Yang is loyal to Yin, and seems to be loyal, but in fact, he is cunning, and there is no crime to add, and he is far away, so it is not suitable to go to the expedition for the time being."

Liang Fen nodded and said yes, but-"The governor of Langya Wang, Jiangnan, has six prefectures: Yang, Jing, Jiang, Hunan, Jiao, and Guangzhou, and for almost half the world, I have ≥heard that the overseas Chinese in Nandu have a deep disagreement with the natives of Jiangdong, and the smoke and dust are everywhere, and bandits are rampant-Wen Yue Zeng Zhuankang naturally knows his feelings. If you abandon Hu Kou and Nanyang today, and send a large army from the division and Henan to the south, and then go down the river, it is expected that overseas Chinese will eat pot pulp, and the natives will also surrender their hands to the ministers, and they can go down to Jiankang without turning their heels. If you attack Hu Kou and Nanyang first, wait for the north to be determined, and then attack Jiangdong, I am afraid that their hearts have been settled and their wings are abundant, and they are better than Sun Wu in the past. I am going to attack Wu, although it is overwhelming, mostly because Sun Hao is brutal and does not cultivate virtue and politics, otherwise, even Emperor Wu is deeply afraid and does not dare to make a decision"

Pei Gaixin said that it was because Sima Yan was too cowardly, obviously he had enough strength and a good situation, and he could have destroyed Wu ten years earlier, but he always hesitated and didn't dare to fight-you want to change Sima Yi's father and son? Perhaps before Sun Hao came to power, the Jin army entered Jianye City.

Of course, he just slandered, and did not refute Liang Fen, but just asked: "With Situ's intentions, is it impossible to crusade against Jiangdong first?" ”

Liang Fenyu said: "I think that although Jiangnan is humble and barren, after all, the area is vast, and there are no less than hundreds of thousands of scholars and people in the Central Plains who have taken refuge and resettled. Now that Wen Yue is in power, he needs to be cautious to deal with King Langya and plan a good strategy as soon as possible."
