209 for a change of taste
Jia Xu's self-preservation technique is unsurpassed in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Historically, after he joined Cao Cao's camp, he thought that he was not Cao Cao's former minister, so he was afraid that Cao Cao would be suspicious. Adopt a self-protection strategy, close the door and retreat without selfishness. To use a fashionable phrase, he does his job safely, but his stability is not a muffled work like a scalper, but often a blockbuster at a critical moment. One of the most critical moments was when Cao Cao consulted him about the establishment of the prince.
Jia Xu didn't answer at first. Cao Cao asked him, "If you don't answer with Qing, why not?" Jia Xu said: "It's appropriate to think, so it's not the right ear." Cao Cao said, "What do you think? Jia Xu said: "Si Yuan Benchu, Liu Jingsheng father and son!" ”
There is no greater extreme than this. He didn't mention his own opinions, but every sentence was full of deep meaning and reasonable.
Cao Cao accepted his words, and in 217 AD, Cao Pi was appointed as the crown prince. As a supporter of Cao Pi, after Cao Pi ascended the throne, Jia Xu naturally rose to the top, and was awarded the post of Tai Lieutenant, ranking among the three princes with monstrous power.
Throughout Jia Xu's life, it is not difficult to find that this guy has almost never missed the line in his life. Especially in the middle and late years, whether it is Cao Cao or Cao Pi, they all risk coming out to send charcoal in the snow when they need help the most, so it is strange that they are not reused. What's more, this person is in a high position but is not arrogant, and knows the golden mean very well. It is the reason why he became the longest career in the history of the Three Kingdoms. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, an era when human life was treated like a mustard and medical technology was extremely underdeveloped, it was a miracle that Cao Cao, a highly suspicious master, could live to the age of 77 and die.
And the root of all this is Jia Xu's extraordinary cherishing of life.
Luan Yi knew this very well, so he asked Luan Fu to feed Jia Xu poison as a last resort. Luan Yi expected that Jia Xu's desire to survive was stronger than anyone else, and he would definitely give in in order to seek an antidote.
As Luan Yi expected. When Jia Xu heard that the poison in himself was prepared by Hua Tuo himself, he was deflated. He had naturally heard of Hua Tuo's name, the leading miracle doctor in the Han Dynasty, and he also knew that Hua Tuo was now working under Luan Yi. The poison prepared by Hua Tuo will definitely not be solved! In this way, it means that detoxification can only go to Luan Yi.
Thinking of this, he sat down on the side of the desk with a long sigh and said to Luan Fu: "Why bother! ”
"A little faux pas!" Luan Fu replied respectfully.
The two sang and harmonized, as if the fight had never happened.
"Say it! What does Mr. Ziqi want me to do? ”
"My adults didn't say it!"
"What?" Jia Xu was stunned. According to the convention, in this case, the poisoner does something for the poisoner, and the poisoner will interpret it to the poisoner after the matter is completed. And Luan Yi didn't arrange anything for him to do unreasonably, but how can he detoxify if he doesn't do things? Jia Xu was anxious, "Mr. Ziqi, is this playing tricks on the official?" ”
"Of course not!" Luan Fu is neither humble nor arrogant, "Little reminder adult." The poison in adults can only be solved by my master. But my master is outside Chang'an City, and my adult is in the city. Adults can't get out of the city, and adults in my family can't enter the city, and if they can't see it, they can't give an antidote. If you don't see my master for ten days...... Tsk tsk, according to the wisdom of adults, you don't need me much, right? ”
"This? You mean Mr. Bang Ziqi broke the city? Jia Xu's facial features were worried, "Just me?" Are you kidding? Even if I am an immortal, I can't break the Chang'an City that 40,000 people hold on! ”
To be honest, Luan Fu didn't think that Jia Xu could help much in the capture of Chang'an. After all, no matter how resourceful a person is, he is just one person, and it is impossible to pose much of a threat to Chang'an City, which Dong Zhuo personally guarded. In contrast, he felt that the plan of burning the granary was more reliable.
Thinking of this, Luan Fu didn't say anything more to Jia Xu, and said unhurriedly: "The head of the family really didn't explicitly say what he needed the adults to do, but only instructed the little one to feed the adults to take the 'elixir', that's all." I hope that the adults will participate in the rest by themselves. Parameters come out, you can contact the small at any time, this is the contact address! Luan Fu put a card next to Jia Xu's case, and then waved his sleeves and left.
"Huh, huh? Wait......" Jia Xu wanted to call Luan Fu back, but Luan Fu didn't look back after a few sounds, and disappeared into the backyard in a blink of an eye. Jia Xu was furious and slammed the table, "Ten days? Are you kidding! "Luan Fu is not in a hurry, he can't be in a hurry, after all, his little life is in the hands of Luan Yi.
"What to do? Luan Yi obviously wanted me to help him win Chang'an. So as long as Chang'an is not broken within ten days, even if I escape from the city to see him, he will not give me an antidote! In this way...... The only way to help Luan Yi break the city! Breaking the city? Break the city! Jia Xu paced and walked in the study, pacing and pacing...... The cold sweat and hot sweat flowed all over his body.
"Someone, prepare the car!"
"Come ......" Jia Xu remembered that he had just sent out all the attendants in the backyard, and scolded in his mouth: "This group of stupid slaves, everyone has left and won't come back!" He took matters into civilian clothes and went to the front yard to find the driver and told him to immediately set up a car and prepare for the trip.
The coachman was quick with his hands and feet, and in a few moments he set up the carriage and sent Jia Xu into the carriage. "My lord, where are we going?"
Jia Xu said: "Go to Lord Li's mansion!" ”
"There are a lot of Master Li in Chang'an City. Which one is Master Li going to? ”
Jia Xu scolded angrily: "Which Lord Li will this official go to, naturally it is Master Li Su Li!" ”
The coachman stuck out his tongue and did not dare to say more. I thought to myself, what's wrong with an adult today, so angry! It's like eating firecrackers, just a little bit.
"Okay, sit down, let's go!"
Horse-drawn carriages clattered through the streets of Chang'an. The road to Li Su's mansion was very familiar to the coachman. As for the reason...... It's very simple, Jia Xu has few friends to talk about in Chang'an, so Li Su is one. The two have a lot of contacts on weekdays, either Jia Xu went to Li Su's house to eat and drink, or Li Su went to Jia Xu's house to play a game.
On several occasions, Li Su ate too much wine at Jia Xu's house, but it was Jia Xu's coachman who drove him home.
Along the way, Li Su muttered endlessly. It's not that he scolded Lu Bu for having no conscience, but said that he cursed Dong Zhuo for not knowing people.
At first, the coachman was in a fog and couldn't understand what Li Su said! After listening to it a lot, I gradually understood the inside story.
It turned out that when Ding Yuan was still alive, Dong Zhuo regarded Ding Yuan as a thorn in his eye, and always wanted to get rid of Ding Yuan, but he was afraid of Lu Bu's courage and didn't dare to start. At this time, Li Su stood up, offered a BMW as Lu Bu's fellow villager, and persuaded Lu Bu to switch to Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu really took refuge in Dong Zhuo and slashed Ding Yuan.
Li Su boasted that he had made a great contribution, but he never thought that Dong Zhuo would only give him a half-level promotion. But Lu Bu is a marquis and a general, and the scenery is infinite.
Li Su was greatly dissatisfied, but there was no way. Later, the princes of the Nineteen Towns besieged Luoyang. It was he who gave advice and helped Huaxiong burn Sun Jian and won the first big victory since the start of the war. But the victory is the victory, and all the credit falls on the head of the dead Hua Xiong, and he Li Su has not been rewarded at all, and this time he has not even been promoted to a half-level official position.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, depressed, and borrowed wine all day to drown his sorrows. When he was drunk, he scolded, scolding Dong Zhuo for being nepotistic, Li Ru and Niu Fu were just two mediocre talents, but because he was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he climbed to a high position. He still disagreed with Lu Bu, he was just a lieutenant after more than ten years under Dong Zhuo's account, but he Lu Bu became a general as soon as he entered Dong Zhuo's account. What's the big deal, isn't it just that you can recognize your godfather! Three surnames are slaves!
What the coachman heard, Jia Xu had obviously heard as well. Therefore, after being coerced by Luan Yi, the first thing he thought of was this person.
When he found Li Su, Li Su was pouring himself a drink, a mouthful of dishes, a mouthful of sweet wine, looking at ease, but the bitterness implied in it was best understood by himself.
When Jia Xu came to visit, Li Su was overjoyed, took a bottle of wine and put it on the opposite side, filled it with a glass of liquor, and said: "I am worried that no one will talk about wine!" Wen He came at the right time. Hurry up, the food is still hot! ”
Jia Xu sat down silently, glanced around at the servants in the house, and said, "Wei Gong, can you talk alone?" ”
When Li Su saw Jia Xu's serious face, he knew that there must be confidential matters to discuss. He sent the servants far away, "Wenhe, why is it so secretive?" ”
Jia Xu picked up the wine cup, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, tasted it lightly and splashed it on the ground. "This wine is sour, astringent, and turbid, and I want to change it."
"Sour? Astringent? Li Su tasted it like Jia Xu, and said suspiciously: "The taste is okay!" Isn't it this kind of wine that we eat on weekdays? He didn't understand why Jia Xu suddenly became picky today.
Jia Xu stared at Li Su and said, "I used to think it was okay. Eating it today, it's sour and hard to swallow! ”
"Then which wine do you want to eat with Wen and his brother! I'm going to send some! ”
Jia Xu said word by word: "God...... Immortal...... Ferment! ”
"Immortal brew?" Undoubtedly, the jar of wine on the table is indeed sour, astringent and muddy compared to the fairy wine. After all, the price is placed from there, and the immortal brew is a high-priced wine with a silver fifty-tael jar, and the old wine in front of me is only 50 per jar. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and the taste is naturally far from fairy brew.
Thinking of the price of immortal brewing, Li Su looked bitter again, he sold his life for Dong Zhuo for half his life, and he couldn't even afford the altar wine. "Brother Wenhe! It's not that you don't know, just where I can eat fairy brew! ”
As he spoke, Li Su accompanied the smiling face and filled Jia Xu with a glass of old Kansai wine. Said: "We can't afford the fairy brew, so let's make do with this!" ”
Li Su filled Jia Xu with a full cup of wine, but saw that the other party did not hesitate to pour the full cup of muddy wine on the ground. "I have made up my mind, I must change the immortal brew!"
"You ......" Li Su's eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to reprimand Jia Xu for a few words, but he saw Jia Xu's eyes were deep, as if he had something to say.
Li Su couldn't help but be stunned, and began to speculate about Jia Xu's extraneous sound. Kansai old wine for fairy brewing.
Kansai old wine, muddy, astringent, sour!
Fairy brew, clear, soft and sweet!
"Immortal Brew...... Luan Ziqi? Li Su immediately found a breakthrough. If the immortal brew refers to Luan Ziqi. That old wine in Kansai is undoubtedly Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo made his fortune from Xiliang, and Xiliang is located in Kansai!
In this way, Jia Xu asked to change the old wine in Kansai to be brewed by the gods, didn't he say that he wanted to abandon Dong Zhuo and vote for Luanyi?
Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but be stunned!
