Chapter 281: At the moment of crisis, who is in charge of the overall situation?
"The old man has been practicing medicine for decades, and he has never seen such a strange poison, sometimes surging like the sea, sometimes hidden like a spring, it is really weird!"
"The poison of the arm continues to spread, it has crossed the crook of the arm, approaching the left shoulder socket, once the poisonous gas enters the heart vein, the immortal will not be able to save his life!"
"Ji Ping, as a Taiyi Ling, has extremely high attainments in medical Taoism, and his use of poison is extremely strange, and there are only a handful of people in the world who can win a lot!"
………………………………………………………………
In the Prime Minister's Mansion-Bedroom, Cao Cao was lying on the soft couch, his eyes were closed, his teeth were clenched, his breathing was extremely weak, and he was completely unconscious.
There are also several medical officers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, after checking the injuries, are discussing the method of detoxification, but looking at their demeanor, it seems that they are not optimistic, some scratch their ears and cheeks, frown, some are pacing back and forth, sighing, and some are in a daze, their faces are like ashes, as if they want to take a step ahead of the patient!
The medical officer of the Prime Minister's Mansion - is rich, the treatment is superior, the small life is extremely comfortable, I don't know how many people envy it, but don't forget, since ancient times, the companion is like a tiger, once the lord has an accident, they can't be treated, the good days will come to an end, the light will be in prison, miserable life, and the heavy will be sent to the mausoleum, to be buried!
In ancient times, civilization had not yet opened, and whenever the 'emperor and general' died, jewelry, livestock, and slaves would be used...... Accompany the burial underground, in order to ensure the blessing of the dead souls, the number is thousands, the few are hundreds, and the means of being buried alive in the mausoleum are extremely cruel!
For example, after the death of Qin Shi Huang, the coffin was sent to the Lishan Mausoleum, and Qin II-Hu Hai decreed: 'Harem concubines and maids, all those who have not given birth should not be released to the people, and they will all follow the emperor and bury thousands of beauties!'
Next, he served the emperor's personal guards, eunuchs, medical officers, cooks, and royal hands...... and the officials and craftsmen who built the mausoleum, all of them were killed and thrown into the burial pit, and then, in order to keep the secret of the mausoleum, the soldiers who were responsible for killing people were also killed...... One layer kills, one layer kills, and the dead are countless!
After the founding of the Han Dynasty, the city was ruined, the people's livelihood was exhausted, in order to restore the population, the imperial court abolished the funeral system, but this is only effective for ordinary people, the queen mother, the emperor, the empress...... As well as the death of the great nobles, who are still buried with living people, Cao Cao Gui is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, once the soul returns to the underworld, at least thousands of people will be buried, guards, concubines, and servants...... In particular, a few medical officers will definitely follow, who calls them incompetent!
Someone asked, knowing that Cao Cao was poisoned, and there were countless treasures in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there must be no shortage of medicinal materials, just configure the antidote and dissolve the toxin, why should the medical officials be stupid and wait to be buried alive...... The answer is: medicine is like using soldiers, it is powerless and invisible, it is difficult to poison, and it is even more difficult to detoxify!
As the saying goes: 'It is a medicine with three poisons, try to take it internally as little as possible', and the 'detoxification' is to use one poison to restrain another poison, and after the two are balanced, the human body will be fine.
Taking a step back, even if you know the name of the poison, it is difficult to dissolve it, the dose of the antidote is less, it is not enough to restrain the toxin, the dose of the antidote is too much, it is equivalent to the new poison replacing the old poison, and the patient dies faster, unless there is a holy hand of medicine, control the herbs, and do whatever you want, in order to dissolve the toxin and save the patient's life!
The problem is that the skills of several medical officers of the Prime Minister's Mansion are not as good as Ji Ping's skill, so naturally they can't detoxify, and in desperation, an old medical officer took action and blocked the acupoints with silver needles to delay the spread of poisonous gas.
The medical officers are powerless, the prime minister is in danger, and he will go to Huangquan at any time, after the news came out, there was a cry in the prime minister's mansion, people were at a loss, the building will fall, where to go?
……………………………………………………………………………………
"Whoosh! …… Sou! …… Sou! ”
Xiangfu Lobby - The atmosphere is solemn, the needle can be heard, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Yu Ban...... A group of civil and military ministers, all gathered here, they were silent, pacing back and forth, sometimes observing the dormitory, sometimes looking at the door of the mansion, looking anxiously waiting!
Standing in the lobby, they are all heroes among the people, or the ups and downs of the sea, scheming, or smart decisions, far-reaching, don't look at them without saying a word, waiting silently, secretly, but small movements are constant, gesturing, handing eyes, lips...... The exchange of opinions and heated quarrels are more lively than formal meetings!
The more than 20 people present can be divided into three major factions: clan generals, generals with different surnames, and strategists and scholars...... They have different interests, both friendship and contradictions, the relationship is very complicated, under the leadership of Cao Cao before, they can also cooperate sincerely and unanimously with the outside world, but now no one is in charge of the overall situation, and the contradictions are revealed!
Everyone knows in their hearts that once the prime minister returns to heaven, the original political pattern will inevitably undergo drastic changes, official positions will be reappointed, and interests will be redistributed, who doesn't want to get the biggest piece of the cake...... In addition, once the benefits are unevenly distributed, it is likely to lead to infighting, swords and soldiers meet each other, blood flows like a river, and the general trend of the world is difficult to predict!
When everyone was open and dark, inspiring the confrontation, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiong were wearing armor, holding swords, and surrounded their mother-Mrs. Bian, and walked into the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"The prime minister was assassinated, the injury is quite serious, I am afraid that something unexpected will happen, you are either clan generals, or ministers of the humerus, and hope to help each other in the same boat, tide over the difficulties together, and the concubine is grateful!"
After entering the lobby, Mrs. Bian took the initiative to salute the ministers, her words were very sincere, the Cao brothers knelt on the ground, and bowed to worship, the survival of the Cao family depends on the attitude of the ministers!
This is the difference between wives and concubines, the prime minister was assassinated, his life was in danger, the concubines could cry, and the concubines could shout, because they didn't have to be responsible, they could show their feelings at will, on the contrary, the wives and concubines couldn't, they had to consider the interests of the prime minister and ensure the longevity of the Cao family!
"Please rest assured that the eldest lady and the four sons are blessed, and the prime minister will definitely turn evil into good fortune and be auspicious in death...... We are loyal, life and death go hand in hand, if there are two hearts, heaven and earth will not tolerate it! ”
The lord family treated him so kindly, the ministers didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed in return, swore an oath, and expressed their determination, no matter what happened, they would be loyal to the Cao family!
The oath is over, the hearts of the people are gathered, next, we have to tide over the difficulties together, the prime minister was assassinated, his life is in danger, if the sky blesses, the body recovers, the dark clouds in the sky will disperse, on the contrary, once there is something unbearable, how to deal with it?
All things are born in nature, there is an end, only rights, eternal and immortal, Cao Cao is wise and martial, and he will also come to the end of his life, but sooner or later, but the Cao family will continue, and the political life cannot be cut off, the best way is to elect an heir, continue to lead everyone, sweep away all the princes, and dominate the world in Kyushu!
The question is, who will be the heir? …… Judging from the current situation, there are three solutions, all of which have a certain amount of truth, and there are also a lot of troubles.
The first type: husband and wife are one, live and die together, please Mrs. Bian stand up and preside over the overall situation for the time being, just like the Empress Lu of the year, after the death of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who was in charge of the government for seven years, although the means are a little vicious, it can be regarded as diligent in government affairs, and has laid a good foundation for the later 'rule of Wenjing'!
It's a pity that Mrs. Bian is gentle and virtuous, has both ability and political integrity, and can be called a good wife and mother, but she abides by the virtue of a woman, never interferes in military affairs, and does not have the ruthless heart of Empress Lu.
The second type: the father dies and the son succeeds, it is justified, the foundation founded by Prime Minister Cao Cheng, handed over to the sons to inherit, it is also reasonable, several sons of the Cao family - intelligent, both civil and military, well received by the ministers, especially the second son Cao Pi, the fourth son Cao Zhi, are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, have the potential to become a Ming monarch, and will be able to inherit the foundation, and then carry it forward!
However, although the Qianlong is good, it has not yet grown up, the Cao family brothers are too young, the oldest is seventeen years old, the youngest is only ten years old, lack of experience, low official position, and have not made any meritorious achievements, even if they are barely on the throne, with their prestige and ability, can they deter civil and military officials, and can they lead arrogant soldiers...... The Lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and it is taboo through the ages!
The third type: the wife's ability is insufficient, the son is too young, in this case, there is a compromise: brother to brother, temporary power, is in the Cao clan, select a suitable person, temporarily take charge of the military and political power, and wait until the Cao family brothers become adults, and then inherit the rights from the uncle, complete a smooth transition!
In all fairness, the Cao family and the Xiahou clan are scattered, the people are thriving, there are quite a few outstanding figures, only the generals of the army, there are more than a dozen, the clan strength is quite strong, especially Cao Ren and Xiahou Xuan, who can fight well, are extremely brave, Cao Cao can create a great cause, and the clan brothers are indispensable!
After the assassination of the Prime Minister, the generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan discussed in private, preparing to elect Cao Ren and Xiahou Tang to act as military and political powers, tide over the dangerous period, and ensure the glory and wealth of the clan.
Unexpectedly, after learning of the intentions of the clan generals, the four major strategists Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun Yu unanimously opposed this proposal, and their attitude was resolute, and they did not hesitate to turn their backs on the spot......
On the one hand: Cao Ren and Xiahoudun only have the talent of generals, and it is no problem to sit in the local area and be in charge alone, but it is not good to control the government and lead the overall situation, that is, they do not have that ability or prestige, and it will also cause an imbalance between clan generals and generals with different surnames.
On the other hand: the temptation of power is so great that people can't stop it, turn over the history and look at it, in order to fight for power, cannibalism and calamity to Xiao Qiang, but there are countless things, once Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun take power, it is inevitable to get lost in it, and after a few years, they will hand over their rights? Or do you want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots...... I'm afraid it's the latter!
As for Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You, several strategists - quick thinking, extremely smart, and Wang Zuozhicai, but they can only assist the British lord, not the overall situation, and most importantly, they have no military power and can't suppress the situation!
So far, only by electing a person with both civil and military skills and extremely high prestige can temporarily preside over the overall situation, in addition, this person cannot be born in the Cao family, so as not to kill each other, and he must be close to the Cao family, in order to ensure loyalty, comprehensive various factors, is the only suitable person...... Delayed not showing up?
"Roar! -Roar! …… Ghost-faced Xiao Lang, always invincible! ”
"Roar! -Roar! …… Ghost-faced Xiao Lang, always invincible! ”
…………………………………………
Just when everyone was about to see through it, the soldiers guarding the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly shouted, deafening, and soared into the sky...... Immediately afterwards, the door of the mansion opened layer by layer, rushing into a black horse, jumping jubilantly, galloping like flying, and there was a person sitting on it, wearing a ghost-faced helmet, wearing cold iron armor, holding a sword, up and down, murderous, it was the great Sima-Xiao Yi...... A man who works miracles, a man who is invincible!
