Chapter 48: Shaping the Trend

Zhuge Zhan's words are nothing more than the previous rhetoric of Zhuge Zhan and Dong Ju impeaching Jiang Wei for reckless military force. Although Guan Yi knew that what they said had some truth, it was not a taste in his heart after all. In his opinion, Zhuge Zhan and Dong Ju only know one but not the other, even if Jiang Wei does not raise troops for the Northern Expedition, the Han will be annexed by Cao Wei sooner or later, after all, Cao Wei accounts for two of the world, and his strength is far from being comparable to Han and Wu, not to mention that Cao Wei has many talents, and the money and grain taxes are inexhaustible.

Furthermore, Emperor Zhaolie continued to unify the Han Dynasty, taking "the royal industry is not partial, and the Han thieves are not separated" as the basic national policy, and throughout his life, he always took the elimination of Cao Wei and the restoration of the Han Dynasty as his own responsibility. Zhuge Wuhou also knows that those who are in a corner of peace cannot last long, and once said that they are in a corner of peace, trying to defend themselves, and the generous words of cutting down, now Jiang Wei has made eleven expeditions to the Central Plains alone, and has been fighting against the powerful Cao Wei for more than 20 years, but what is the sin?

Although Guan Yi faintly felt that Zhuge Zhan and Dong Ju were making a show for himself, he had been dealing with these important ministers of the court or the military in these cities for a while, and he had unconsciously learned to forbear and restraint.

Dong Ju seemed to glance at Guan Yi's face inadvertently, didn't see anything unusual, nodded, and said, "What the general said is true, but in addition, there is an extremely important reason!" ”

Zhuge Zhan frowned and said, "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

"Huang Hao!" Dong Ju stared at Zhuge Zhan and slowly spit out two words.

Zhuge Zhan was stunned for a long time when he heard this, then nodded and said: "The old general is right, when the Wei army comes to attack, if Huang Hao is willing to send rescue troops early, the situation will definitely not get to this point." ”

Dong Ju said: "Since the general knows the harm of Huang Hao, I don't know how to control it?" ”

Zhuge Zhan was about to speak, but suddenly thought of something, glanced at Dong Ju with a strange expression, then looked at Guan Yi, and said with a smile: "Old general, you have set a trap for Zhan!" ”

Dong Jumi looked at Zhuge Zhan, just smiled slightly, noncommittal. Guan Yi shook his head secretly, although these two people are very different in age, they are both smart people, they know what each other thinks in their hearts, and they are still playing dumb riddles with each other when they talk about it, and no one is willing to say it thoroughly.

"The old general learned that there is an undercurrent surging in the court, and someone has already stood up to impeach Huang Hao a few days ago!" Zhuge Zhan couldn't resist Dong Ju's aggressive gaze after all, his body leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "Old general, do you know who this person is?" ”

Guan Yi smiled bitterly, do people in high positions like to guess dumb riddles?

Where did Dong Ju know Guan Yi's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Shang Shu Ling Fan Jian? ”

Zhuge Zhan picked up the wine bottle, raised his head and drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp, and shook his head.

"Yellow Gate Squire Li Xiang?"

Zhuge Zhan shook his head again.

Dong Ju frowned, and said again after a while: "Isn't it to advise the doctor Liu Chun or the prince to wash the horse Li Mi?" ”

Zhuge Zhan still shook his head. Dong Ju was greatly surprised, the four people he just mentioned were very few people in the court who had always dared to give direct advice, and they were not surrounded by Huang Hao. Dong Ju really couldn't think of it, if it weren't for these four people, who else in the court would dare to impeach Huang Hao? You must know that Huang Hao has worked hard for several years, and most of the court officials are either forced or willing to be in cahoots with him. Therefore, if he is not a loyal minister who dares to die, he is the queen of the famous generals of the family, otherwise once Huang Hao cannot be impeached, it will mean that his future and even his life will be ruined.

Guan Yi was also extremely surprised. Fan Jian, as a scholar of Shangshuling, is on the right side of the ministers, in charge of national affairs, Huang Hao is in charge of the country, Huang Hao is in charge of the government, and he is the first to bear the brunt, so he hates Huang Hao the most, although he has not been able to correct the harm, but he will never be in the same stream with him. Li Xiang, the squire of the Yellow Gate, is the former general's Sima, the former superintendent of the army, the son of Li Fu, the Marquis of Pingyang Pavilion, and Du Zhen is known as the Erlang of Shuzhong, and is known for his extensive knowledge. Counseling doctor Liu Chun, who is an old minister of the two dynasties, is the son of Liu Shen in Yizhou, who has always been talented and upright. As for the prince washing horses Li Mi, he was Shang Shulang at first, and was later opened by Jiang Wan as the master of the general's mansion. At present, those in the court who dare to stand up and impeach Huang Hao, if not among these four people, who is it?

In his thoughts, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Isn't it Liu Chen, the Fifth Highness?" ”

Zhuge Zhan's eyes lit up, glanced at Guan Yi, and praised: "Jingzhi is really smart." Yes, it was Liu Chen, the king of the Northern Land, who wrote to impeach Huang Hao! ”

Dong Ju was taken aback at first, then stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "I forgot about this person!" The king of the north dared to come forward to impeach Huang Hao, which can be described as an unexpected joy! ”

Zhuge Zhan's heart moved faintly, and said, "What does the old general mean?" ”

Dong Ju didn't speak, took out a tightly wrapped white silk from his arms and handed it to Zhuge Zhan, and said with a smile: "You take a look at this letter first!" ”

Zhuge Zhanhu took the letter suspiciously, only glanced at it after opening it, and said in astonishment: "Is it Jiang Boyo's letter?" ”

Dong Ju said: "Yes, it is the secret letter written by Boyo to General Wei!" ”

Zhuge Zhan nodded, stopped talking, and lowered his head to read the letter carefully. Guan Yi saw that his brows were furrowed, his face was cloudy, and he was curious in his heart that Jiang Wei didn't know what he said, which made Zhuge Zhan so hesitant. The only thing Guan Yi can be sure of is that Jiang Wei must be expressing his intention and attitude to Zhuge Zhan to join forces to eradicate Huang Hao.

After a long time, Zhuge Zhan raised his head, glanced at Dong Jue, and said, "The old general must have already known the content of the letter, right?" ”

"Yes, I was present when Berio wrote this letter!" Dong Ju nodded, not shy away.

"The old general said that it was an unexpected joy for the king of the north to come forward to impeach Huang Hao, and Zhan should now understand the old general's intentions!" Zhuge Zhan put the white silk on the desk and said with a wry smile: "Previously, the old general just hoped that you and I would join forces with Jiang Wei, but he never thought that the king of the northern land had already gone ahead, so the old general planned to unite with the king of the northern land, plus Jiang Wei, Shang Shuling Fan Jian and others, and we would eradicate Huang Hao in one fell swoop!" It's just that the king of the North Land is a royal clan, and this time he suddenly came to the table to impeach Huang Hao, and his intention was only afraid of ......" Speaking of this, he stopped, obviously hesitating in his heart, and he didn't dare to say something rashly.

Speaking of the king of the north, Guan Yi felt a headache, the last time he beat the housekeeper in the palace on the street, although this matter has not made waves again, but Guan Yi felt faintly uneasy in his heart. After all, the beaten housekeeper recognized himself and Ehu, and when he walked around the court in the future, he would inevitably have to interact with the Northland Palace, and if he moved around a lot, it would be a matter of time before he was recognized, Guan Yi really couldn't think of how he would deal with it if there was such a day.

At this time, after listening to Zhuge Zhan's words, he secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that Liu Chen, the king of the Northland, had other intentions to impeach Huang Hao? But Zhuge Zhan didn't want to say it, but he didn't want to ask. It's just that Zhuge Zhan hesitated slightly, but he had a hidden understanding.

Dong Ju has been in the court for a long time, and he knew the meaning of Zhuge Zhan's words after a little silence, but he was old and refined, although he guessed in his heart, his face was as usual, he took the wine bottle and drank it all, and laughed: "Nowadays, the loyal and upright people in the court are all looking forward to General Wei's horse, if the old man's expectations are good, once we are in the book, I expect that the monk of the king of the northern land, Fan Jian, and the doctor Liu Chun and others will inevitably second. In addition, before I came, Jiang Boyao said that if General Wei is willing to join forces, he will gather more than 20 generals above the Hanzhong general to jointly impeach Huang Hao. ”

Zhuge Zhan got up and said in a deep voice: "In this way, Huang Hao will definitely die!" ”

Dong Ju casually glanced at Guan Yi and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, General Wei already has a plan in his heart, right?" ”

Zhuge Zhan laughed, stood up and walked to Dong Ju's table, personally added a spoonful of wine to his wine bottle, and said with a smile: "Zhan's wish is also what the old general thinks!" Don't worry, the old general, I will send someone to Hanzhong tomorrow to see Jiang Wei. With that, the two laughed out loud together, and the meaning was very clear, and everything was in plain sight.

Guan Yi was sitting precariously, looking at the two calmly, although he didn't know what Jiang Wei wrote in the letter, but judging from the expressions of Zhuge Zhan and Dong Ju, Zhuge Zhan must have agreed to join forces with Jiang Wei. Since the wine and food came up, he only said one sentence from beginning to end, he was a thoughtful person, and naturally felt the intentions of Zhuge Zhan and Dong Ju, although they did not avoid themselves, but they were obviously deliberately leaving themselves aside. However, Guan Yi didn't mind, although Jiang Wei and his previous concerns did not appear, but isn't this exactly the result he wants to see? At least, with Dong Ju, an ally recognized by Zhuge Zhan, he no longer had to think about how to convince Zhuge Zhan.

Besides, no matter what, Zhuge Zhan finally put aside his political disagreement with Jiang Wei for the time being, not to mention that there is now such a pivotal figure as Liu Chen, the king of the Northland. It is foreseeable that once everyone joins forces, even if the heir trusts Huang Hao again, he is afraid that he will not dare to touch the anger of the people, and the result will only be to lose his pawn and protect the car.

"By the way, the last general asked General Wei about the impeachment of Huang Hao by the King of the Northland, I don't know what the result is?" Guan Yi said suddenly, saying so much, but forgetting this key issue. As for whether Zhuge Zhan and Dong Ju deliberately downplayed their existence, he didn't care.

"It's really not easy to respect it, and you can always get to the point when you look at the problem!" Zhuge Zhan admired, picked up the wine bottle and signaled Guan Yi to eat and drink, and said: "After the king of the northern land handed over the recital, Huang Hao naturally refused to admit his guilt, in addition to crying and worshipping to win His Majesty's sympathy, he tried his best to defend himself, and his colleagues in the court and the central party were also crying out for him. His Majesty finally favored this man, and dismissed the king of the Northland. ”

Dong Ju sighed: "I think back then, Your Majesty was gifted and benevolent, and Corporal Ed, but now why is he so confused? ”

"The old general is forbidden!" Zhuge Zhan was taken aback, the Zhuge family has always been loyal and filial piety, no matter how negligent the Son of Heaven is, he must not slander his reputation in private, otherwise it will be a great rebellion.

Dong Ju also consciously lost his words, glanced at Guan Yi, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if these words reached the ears of Huang Hao or the heir, I was afraid that Dong Ju would immediately come to a catastrophe.

Guan Yi couldn't see the eyes cast by Dong Ju, his face was full of waves, and he didn't have any look. Although Dong Ju was uneasy, he also roughly knew that Guan Yi was not a villain who played right and wrong, but at present, the political style of the imperial court was corrupt, and the young people were flying and domineering because of their affiliation with Huang Hao, but the people who were loyal and pure were repeatedly excluded so that they had no way to enter, which made him inevitably a little uncomfortable over time.

A meal of wine and food is not shocked, and it is happy. The major events of the imperial court were determined in the cup change of Zhuge Zhan and Dong Ju.
