Chapter 163. The art of checks and balances
Yang Biao was too angry, he thought that he could restore the system of the Han family and relieve the comfort of the Han family by uniting the ministers who lived between the Han and the Han with the edict of clothes and belts, which was a little too naΓ―ve.
In today's court, Sikong controls the government with one hand, and the ministers of the court are alive or dead, all in Cao Cao's thoughts, and the reason why Cao Cao did not kill Yang Biao in the year he moved the capital was entirely based on the reputation of his fourth and third dukes.
But doing so now not only cannot eliminate the crisis between the Han family and Sikong, but will make this crisis and misunderstanding deeper and deeper, in other words, this is giving Cao Cao a chance to kill the minister of Xiang Han.
It's incomprehensible to do things without care!
Guo Jia is a literati, so naturally he doesn't want to see the killing coming, at this time he came to Xun Yu to solve the problem from Xun Yu's position, otherwise, he would have entered the palace to inform Cao Cao.
"Yang Biao is stubborn and self-serving, which destroys the comfort between the Han family and Sikong, if you and I let it go and let Yang Biao do anything wrong, the Han family is really going to die!" Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia and said bluntly, anyway, it is impossible for Guo Jia to tell Cao Cao what he said.
"The Han family will die sooner or later, but I hope it can die a little more comfortably, at least not bloody, bloody, but now this matter is full of a lifetime and can't be hidden for a lifetime, Sikong will find out sooner or later!"
"I have a way!" Xun Yu said that this idea had been in his mind for a long time, although it would also kill people, but at least it could minimize people's lives.
"What are you talking about?" Guo Jia asked, his expression froze, anyway, he didn't think of any good way except to kill people.
"Now the minister of Xiang Han in Xuchang City is tantamount to three people headed, Dong Cheng, Yang Biao, Sima Fang, Dong Cheng is the national battle, no matter what, they can't reduce their status and identity, Sima Fang and Yang Biao are in a high position, only let the two of them be demoted, without huge rights, the crisis of the Han family can be solved!"
"This matter is not simple, Yang Biao has a deep foundation in the imperial court, it is very difficult to bring him down, Sima Fang may be better to move down, but the most important thing is Yang Biao, as long as Yang Biao falls, everything will be easy to say!" Guo Jia muttered.
Xun Yu closed his eyes, he had to deal with not only these two old guys, but also their sons, Sima Yi and Yang Xiu, these two people's IQ didn't know how many streets to throw Yang Biao and Sima Fang.
"Fengxiao, you are responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, if the school government finds out about the matter and conceals it and does not report it, it will attract Sikong's suspicion, he will not hand over any important things to you to do in the future, after I left, you will enter Sikong Mansion and tell Sikong about Yang Biao's visit to Liu Bei!"
Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and after knowing this matter, he will definitely send someone to investigate, and at that time, he will definitely be anxious to ask for his own opinions, and when the time comes, he only needs to make suggestions to Cao Cao, as for whether to adopt it or not, he can only resign himself to fate.
Guo Jia nodded, left Shangshutai, and when he went to Sikong Mansion, he happened to meet Cao Pi at the door, and Cao Pi arched his hand and asked, "Zihuan, meet Mr!" β
Guo Jia said with a smile on his face: "Zihuan looks so hurried, where is this going?" β
"Father has commanded something!" Cao Pi said with a smile: "Mr. came to find his father, do you have some important things to explain?" β
"Childe is really smart, this time I came to Sikong, I do have something important to report!" Guo Jia said: "Since Gongzi has something important to do, Guo Jia doesn't dare to delay, Gongzi will do it!" β
"Thank you, sir, Zihuan is leaving!" Cao Pi arched his hand and retreated.
Seeing Cao Pi turn around and leave, Guo Jia slowly came to Cao Cao's big tent and said softly: "Minister Guo Jia visits Sikong!" β
"It's Bonghyo, come in and talk!"
Guo Jia walked into the military tent, first saluted Cao Cao, and then said: "Yesterday, the school reported that I saw a high-duty minister entering and leaving Liu Bei's mansion at night!" β
"Who?"
"Captain Yang!"
"Yang Biao, bold and reckless, he doesn't even know how to restrain himself, but it's okay like this, those who die without a place to be buried are all bold and reckless!" Cao Cao spoke coldly, and suddenly asked a question: "This year's Yuedan Review is hosted by Xun Lingjun, and I heard that there are two sons who live together at the top of the list, who are they?" β
"Coincidentally, one is Yang Xiu Yang Dezu, the son of Yang Biao and Yang Taiwei, and the other is Sima Zhongda, the second son of Sima Gong! That day and moon Dan commented on the minister, these two people spoke amazingly comparable, Xu Du Fenghu Yunlong, it is my blessing in Yanzhou! β
"Are these two people a blessing or a curse for me?" Cao Cao asked, "The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is outside, Yang Biao is like this, what will happen to Yang Xiu?" Sima Fang is like this, what will happen to Sima Yi? β
I often hear a sentence called "Father inherits son's ambition, Yang Xiu and Sima Yi, it is very likely to inherit Yang Biao and Sima Fang's ambitions, if that's the case, things are really a little difficult to do.
"Fengxiao, what did Yang Biao do when he entered Liu Bei's mansion?" Cao Cao settled his mind and stared at Guo Jia intently, with a hint of majesty.
"The minister doesn't know, Taiwei Yang has always acted treacherously, maybe this time he went, just to investigate Liu Bei's injuries, when it came to this matter, the minister wanted to ask Sikong for the blame, the minister ignored Zhao Yun, and hoped that Sikong would not blame!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "If you can't kill Liu Bei, you can also teach him a lesson, let him know that this is a lonely territory, be simple-minded, don't think about some unrealistic things, right?" β
Guo Jia nodded and said to Cao Cao: "Sikong is majestic here, Liu Bei naturally doesn't dare to make a mistake, but Yang Biao's incident must be guarded against!" β
"If Yang Biao betrays me, Feng Xiao thinks he should be killed or stayed?"
Cao Cao's eyes were motionless, with flames in them, as if they were about to devour everything, the question was sharp, and Guo Jia was thinking about how to answer.
"If it is killed, it is a blatant provocation to the system of the Han family, what the lord needs most is the hearts of the people, and it may be inappropriate to do so, but if it is kept, it is admitting to the people of the world that the lord does not dare to touch Yang Biao, and the reputation of saying it is not very good, so the minister thinks that the most important thing to do now is to let Yang Biao and Sima Fang restrain themselves."
Convergence, how to converge? Only the dead know how to converge, but now can you kill Yang Biao, and change another way to kill chickens and monkeys?
But who are you going to kill nearby, Dong Cheng or Sima Fang, or these two sons?
Cao Cao clenched his fists and said quietly: "Okay, Gu knows, Feng Xiao continues to observe the movements of these two people, go down first, go to Shangshutai by the way, and let Xun Yu come to see me!" β
"In that case, the minister retires!" Guo Jia slowly stepped back, turning around with a hint of a smile.
But Cao Cao is worried!
