Chapter 36: Angelica

"What the general said is good, closing the passage is a matter of national capital, and it is advisable to be cautious!" Although Zhang Yi had many disagreements with Jiang Wei on the Northern Expedition, he did not agree with Dong Ju's suggestion, after all, the national strength of the Han Dynasty was too weak, and if the border trade market was closed again, it would be tantamount to self-damage and no benefit.

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "It's just that I hate Huang Hao's eunuch, when the country was in danger, he actually confused His Majesty with the words of a ghost woman and a sorcerer, and refused to send troops to rescue." If this continues, sooner or later the country will be ruined in the hands of such people! ”

With a "snap", Liao Hua slapped on the seat, stood up and said loudly: "What the general said is right, Huang Hao confuses His Majesty, corrupts the dynasty, and delays the military aircraft, and its scourge is far worse than that of the ten permanent servants of the year. ”

Jiang Wei sighed: "Last year, when I entered the palace to meet Your Majesty, I asked Your Majesty to kill this person, but Your Majesty not only did not allow it, but blamed me for not having to deal with a eunuch. After this incident, it shows that Huang Hao has won the favor of His Majesty. This person is in power in the court, and there are many henchmen under the door, and the branches and leaves are climbing, so I am afraid that he will not be able to move easily, but he will suffer from it! ”

Regarding the origin of this section, Liao Hua naturally knew it, and was stunned when he heard the words, and was suddenly quite deflated, and was speechless for a while.

Zhao Tong shouted: "Measure this eunuch, what are you afraid of? According to the opinion of the last general, why not take advantage of the name of the Qing monarch to lead his troops into Chengdu, take Huang Hao, purge the traitorous party, and return the court to a clean house! ”

"Never!" The deputy general Ning Sui was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "If the army suddenly rises, the court will inevitably be suspicious, even if we have no different intentions, we will not be able to give people a handle, if Huang Hao frames us for rebellion, what can I do?" ”

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "What General Ning said is very true, and this matter must be considered in the long run. ”

Guan Yi listened to it for a long time, but he didn't say a word, and at this time, seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, he stood up and said: "General, the last general has a plan to get rid of this thief, what is the intention of the unjudged?" ”

Jiang Wei's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said happily: "There must be a good plan for respect, but come quickly!" ”

Guan Yi groaned slightly, and said loudly: "Huang Hao relies on His Majesty's favor and trust, controls the government and government, and successively has party henchmen, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have many flattery, even if there are those who are not willing to be attached, they dare not speak out." Therefore, if you want to get rid of Huang Hao, you can't do it alone. According to the last general's opinion, why didn't the general join hands with all the generals present to participate in the impeachment of Huang Hao? ”

"Huang Hao is deeply favored by His Majesty, and there are many henchmen in the DPRK and China, even if we and others jointly play, it will not help, this plan may not be feasible!" Jiang Wei shook his head secretly, thinking that although Guan Yi was both civil and military, he was still young in the end, and he didn't know much about these political battles in the imperial court. Although he holds the power of the army, he has not been in the court for a long time, and he has been bent on sending troops to the Northern Expedition in order to recover the Han dynasty over the years, but the results are unsatisfactory, and he has long been dissatisfied with Zhuge Zhan and other ministers.

Which Guan Yi smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "If one more person joins forces, this matter will be done!" ”

"Who?"

"General Wei Zhuge Zhan!"

Jiang Wei frowned, he didn't expect Guan Yi to say Zhuge Zhan, even everyone's faces were surprised, especially Dong Ju, obviously he didn't expect Guan Yi to propose that Jiang Wei and Zhuge Zhan join forces, you must know that these two are political enemies, although they are both out of public intentions, but since they have become fire and water, it is naturally difficult to join forces.

Zhao Tong looked at Jiang Wei's expression, and already understood seven or eight points in his heart, and said: "Zhuge Zhan has always been at odds with the general, but I'm afraid that he may not be willing to join forces with us!" ”

"Not bad! If Zhuge Zhan doesn't join forces with the general, won't we bring shame on ourselves? Ning Sui nodded, quite agreeing.

Jiang Wei was silent when he heard this, obviously acquiescing to Ning Sui and Zhao Tong's words.

Guan Yi sighed secretly, it seems that the contradiction between Jiang Wei and Zhuge Zhan is really deep, and there is a tendency to be incompatible. However, it was precisely their mutual restraint and restraint that caused eunuchs such as Huang Hao to take the opportunity to steal power, deceive superiors and subordinates, and corrupt the norm, so that only Huang Hao was known inside and outside the court, but not His Majesty the Emperor. From this point of view, Jiang Wei and Zhuge Zhan should both bear some responsibility for this.

However, this is not to be said. In Guan Yi's opinion, in order to eradicate Huang Hao, at least so far, Jiang Wei and Zhuge Zhan must join forces to make a difference, otherwise it will be difficult for one of them to shake Huang Hao, and if they don't get it, they will be bitten back by Huang Hao. As for the eradication of Huang Hao, the two will become friends and enemies, but no one can predict it.

"It is true that there is indeed a discord between General Wei and the Great General, but this time and that time!" Guan Yi straightened his thoughts and said solemnly: "Huang Hao's disaster is already related to the safety of the society!" As far as the last general knows, General Wei deeply hated what Huang Hao did, and he had long wanted to get rid of it, but he was worried about Huang Hao's deep branches, so he couldn't bear it! Moreover, the discord between General Wei and the general is out of public intentions, not personal grudges. And eradicating the scourge of Huang Hao is where the righteousness lies. If General Wei and the general miss the major affairs of the state due to some suspicions, it will not be ...... if it is not done by a good minister."

"Respectful ......" Liao Hua saw that Guan Yi became more and more unscrupulous the more he spoke, for fear that Jiang Wei would be wrong, so he hurriedly interrupted Guan Yi's words.

Guan Yi Huoran was taken aback, and immediately realized that his words were a little heavy, and he hurriedly bowed to Jiang Wei, and said in fear: "The last general has lost his mouth, and I ask the general to forgive me!" ”

"It's okay!" Jiang Wei's face was expressionless, and when he heard this, he just smiled faintly, and said: "Let me think twice about this matter, let's get here first today, and all the generals will disperse!" ”

"No!" Guan Yi responded, but secretly shouted in his heart, before a result of the matter was discussed, Jiang Wei suddenly stopped the meeting at this time, obviously dissatisfied. At this moment, the calmer Jiang Wei's expression was, the more uneasy he felt. However, if Jiang Wei was really angry, he didn't point it out in public for some reason?

Could it be that Jiang Wei thinks about the military exploits he has made in recent days and can't bear to blame himself? After thinking about it, I felt that the reason was a bit far-fetched, and it was difficult for me to convince myself to believe it.

In his thoughts, Guan Yi and Liao Hua had just stepped out of the Shuaifu, and a personal guard hurriedly came, until Guan Yi was in front of him, and saluted: "General Guan stays, on the order of the general, please enter the inner room to talk!" ”

Guan Yi looked at Liao Hua and said, "Just invite me alone?" ”

"The general invited General Guan alone!" The guard nodded affirmatively.

Guan Yi was playing the drum in his heart, he couldn't hide from what he should have come, it seemed that what he said just now really angered Jiang Wei, and now he invited himself in, most likely he would be reprimanded by him. But since Jiang Wei clearly invited himself, he naturally couldn't help but go, thought about it, and said to Liao Hua hard: "Old general, please go back to the post house first, I'll go back!" ”

Liao Hua is an old man, and he has followed Jiang Wei for many years, and he roughly guessed Jiang Wei's thoughts from the tone of the guard, but he only invited Guan Yi alone, and he didn't want to talk too much, and said with a smile: "That's good, the old man will go back first!" ”

Guan Yi nodded, letting the guard lead the way in front and himself behind. When he entered the inner courtyard, a soft piano sound suddenly came to his face, and the guard was about to enter the inner court to report, Guan Yi hurriedly stopped him, signaling him not to report, and to wait until he finished listening to this song.

The guard originally knew Guan Yi, and knew that he had recently made great achievements, and he was a popular figure in the current army, and when Jiang Weishi asked him to speak, he also invited Guan Yi into the inner room to speak, so he didn't dare to disobey, and respectfully bowed to Guan Yi, and stood aside to wait.

Guan Yi stood quietly under the eaves with his hands on his back, in the warm winter sun, but felt that the wisp of piano sound was peaceful and pure, like an old monk drinking tea alone under the moon, and like a down-and-out scribe boating on the lake, listening to the ups and downs of the river tide alone, between the chest and abdomen, the indescribable sadness and loneliness were shallow and faint, making people linger, and they wanted to talk about it but couldn't talk about it.

I was wondering in my heart, and the sound of the piano in my ears suddenly turned sharply, as if the water of the river was rolling in, sharp and unrestrained, magnificent, sonorous, and like Jin Ge dancing, ten thousand horses galloping, and the sound of killing was endless. Guan Yi Danjue was full of blood, Emperor Zhaolie and his grandfather Yun Changgong and the third uncle Zu Yide Gong raised troops in Zhuo County, starting from breaking a million yellow scarves and becoming famous in the world, and then to fighting Lu Bu, resisting Cao Wei, taking Xichuan, and Dinghanzhong, the heroic deeds of the predecessors and ancestors, familiar and unfamiliar scenes passed through their minds one by one, and they couldn't help but sing loudly.

Just as I was thinking about it, the sound of the piano gradually eased in an instant, although it was less agile and agitated, but a little more vast and heavy. Guan Yi's body and mind were immersed in the sound of the piano, and the scene of Zhuge Wuhou's exhaustion and five times waved his army north five times, but the stars fell to Wuzhang Yuan in his ambition attempt; Later, Jiang Wei single-handedly supported the crisis, with the power of a state to make eleven northern expeditions to the Central Plains, hoping to restore the Han dynasty, but at the wrong time, the heir was deaf, the imperial power was declining, the eunuchs were arbitrary, and the dynasty was in turmoil, so that everyone in the court was in danger, and there were many people who wanted to retreat. As soon as I thought of this, I felt a lot of helplessness in my heart.

I don't know how long it took for a long time, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Guan Yi retracted his thoughts, but he felt a cold face, and touched it with his hand, only to find that he had burst into tears at some point. I was stunned in my heart, and I had heard Jiang Weide Zhuge Wuhou teach for a long time, Wen Taowu was the best in the world, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs were all fine. When I saw it today, the sound of the piano made me feel immersive, and it was really worthy of its name and an eye-opener.

"Now that respects have arrived, why don't you come into the house and talk?" The person who spoke spoke in a calm and awe-inspiring voice, who is Jiang Wei?

"No!" Hearing this, Guan Yi hurriedly untied the horse chopping knife, handed it to the guard, and then lifted the bamboo curtain and walked in.

But in the inner room, there is a couch against the wall, and a stone table is placed in the middle of the two pieces of carpet, and a simple color guqin is placed on the table, and in the Ding furnace at the other end, the sandalwood is swirling, and the fragrance is fragrant. The furnishings are extremely shabby, but they are immaculately clean. Jiang Wei knelt on the carpet, saw Guan Yi walk in, pointed to the carpet in front of him, and motioned for Guan Yi to sit down.

Guan Yi beat a drum in his heart, and after sitting down on his knees, he bowed slightly and saluted, "I've seen the general!" ”

Jiang Wei nodded, gently stroked the strings, and said, "Jingzhi knows the rhythm?" ”

Guan Yi secretly screamed ashamed and said, "The last general is ignorant, where do you know what kind of rhythm?" However, this qin song has been widely circulated, and many men, women and children in Shu have heard of it, and the last general has also had the honor to hear it several times! ”

"The title of this song is "Angelica"*, since you have heard it, can you understand the meaning?" Jiang Wei smiled, this song was created by him more than thirty years ago, and it has already been played by Sergeant Shu, Guan Yi has heard this song, naturally there is nothing strange about it.

"This ......" Guan Yi's face was slightly red, how did he know Jiang Wei's thoughts, only that Jiang Wei was testing himself, he didn't know anything about piano music, and how could he understand the meaning of this song?

Guan Yi knew that Jiang Weiwen was outstanding, in addition to Wen Taowu and poetry and songs, he was also a master of qin music, and he was recognized by Shu sergeants as a representative of the Shuzhong Guqin School after Sima Xiangru, Yangxiong and Zhuge Wuhou. Seeing Jiang Wei looking at himself with a smile, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he rushed out and said: "There are 100 hectares of fertile land, not in one acre, but there is ambition, not in Angelica......"

Note: Jiang Wei's Angelica song has long been lost. I overheard the piano song "Flowing Clouds Running Gully" played by Lu Xiaoxu in the fantasy of the Three Kingdoms, which is quite in line with the artistic conception of this chapter.
