Chapter 196: Sarcastic Ministers, the True Murderer Is Nowhere to Be Found
The Son of Heaven is a piece of fragrant bait, whether it is to serve the Son of Heaven to kill the ministers, or to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, close to the Son of Heaven, although there is a lot of trouble, but it is possible to hold high the banner of righteousness, do what you want to do by taking advantage of the situation, one and ten thousand benefits, everyone who has a heart wants to get a piece of the pie, this is understandable. But like Lu Bu, he didn't want to take out any hard goods at all, just relying on a few casual words of encouragement from the kid in front of him, plus saying some secret things guessed by "mistake" as a bargaining chip, he planned to share the results of others' battles, and wantonly opened his mouth to grab meat to eat, which was a little not very authentic, at least among the three people in the hall, Cao Ying's most relied on secret minister Mao Jue thought so.
"Master Qin's words are wrong! The Son of Heaven will naturally decide by the Son of Heaven's holy will, so do we have the reason for Han Chen to trespass and decide the residence for the Son of Heaven? My lord wanted to save the Son of Heaven from danger before, and I hereby intended to serve the Son of Heaven to defeat the ministers, but it was just to uphold the original intention of Hanchen and want to use the power of the whole state to assist the Son of Heaven in helping the Han Society, and there is no ambition. Lu Qingzhou also belongs to Hanchen, and there is the first merit of Dong Zhuo, the Son of Heaven is lucky, and the knight is warm, if you are trapped in state affairs and unable to do great things, my lord General Cao also expressed his understanding, so why should he talk about this matter in vain, so that the world will look sideways? It's not beautiful! Because of Mao Jue's inconvenience, Cao Jun's details were omitted under carelessness, so that Cao Ying was suppressed by Qin Xu, a hairy boy, in his words, and finally opened his mouth to share the vested credit for no reason, Mao Jie was born as a real strategist after all, and immediately stabilized his mind, full of righteous words, and said proudly.
"Mr. Xiaoxian is serious, as a Hanchen, it is a matter of duty for us to share worries for the king. What Qin said was just a suggestion, and whether it was adopted or not could only be made after General Cao played the Son of Heaven. As the so-called worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world, besides, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the strength of the army is different, whether it is to send troops, or to speak, it is all for the sake of the Han Dynasty. As the Buddhists said, Mr. Xiaoxian is in love this time! Qin Xu did not show any anger at Mao Ju's presumptuous words against Lu Bu in what he said, Mao Ju is a direct minister, and he is one of the few people in history who has left a name for honesty and integrity, and he deserves the respect of future generations. And the strategy he planned for Cao Ying to "serve the Son of Heaven to destroy the ministers" is also very good, at least compared to Yuan Shao, who was frustrated and suggested that Yuan Shao, who tried to establish the new Han Emperor in vain, "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes", it is much more upright, but it was just sung crooked by a good song by Lao Cao, a person with incomplete five tones. At this moment, seeing that Mao Jue was in a state of confusion, and said these words in front of Cao Ying, who seemed to be slapping Cao Ying's face, Qin Xu explained with a smile.
"What Zhong Ming said is quite reasonable, filial piety should not say more, since Qingzhou has discovered the catastrophe, presumably Yanzhou will also be affected, such things related to people's livelihood are not trivial, thanks to Fengxian to inform you, to avoid the misery of Yanzhou, Cao Mou is full of hospitality, so he asked Zhong Ming to return to Qingzhou the next day, thank Cao for Cao!" After listening to Mao Jue and Qin Xu's words, Cao Ying's face was a little uncertain, as if he was weighing the gains and losses. After all, the stakes are big, although it is said that the Son of Heaven is a great thing to achieve, it is a strategy set after careful consideration by Cao Ying and his secret ministers, there are many drawbacks, but there are also a lot of profits, and enough strength to rely on is the top priority, so as not to be coveted. And Chang'an was originally occupied by the two thieves of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the combat power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was so high that it was easy to win quickly, so it has been held for a long time. And now Chang'an has changed, although the news has been blocked by Li Guo and the two thieves, but after all, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and sooner or later it will be known to the world, as Qin Xu said, it is not only him Cao Ying who is interested in the Son of Heaven, in addition to Ma Teng, Han Sui and others who have already acted now, Yizhou Liu Yan, Jizhou Yuan Shao, Jingzhou Liu Biao, which one is either more qualified than his old Cao, or stronger than his old Cao, is like Qingzhou Lu Bu, who has also made him Cao Ying suffer a big loss several times. There is only one Son of Heaven, and under the covetousness of so many forces, instead of being enemies on all sides, it is better to really cooperate with Lu Bu to ensure the stability of the rear of Yanzhou, the land of the four wars, before plotting for great things. Fortunately, Cao Ying himself did not think about taking others to play, and he was quite fully prepared for the situation he would face. But if he was so unprovoked and agreed to Lu Bu's "request" to eat meat for nothing, Cao Ying really couldn't swallow this breath, and finally struggled for a long time before he said such a specious thing.
"Lord, but this ......" Mao Jie wanted to say more, but was stopped by Cao Ying waving his hand, and could only glance at Qin Xu, who seemed to have known that this was the result, sighed deeply, and retreated, and when he was about to go out, Mao Jue, who was stumbling, was almost bumped into by Cao Ren who broke in, and Cao Ying and Qin Xu, who were already speechless in the hall, sighed at the same time.
"Zixiao is here, but there is news about the thief who dared to assassinate the envoy in my Chen Liuxing?" Although in the matter of targeting Chang'an, Cao Ying knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood, and reluctantly admitted that his alliance grabbed meat to eat under the guise of "goodwill", and he didn't want to see Qin Xu again for a moment, but the assassination of Qin Xu in Chen Liucheng was a matter that Cao Ying had to endure no matter how much he had no love for Qin Xu, and he had to endure the matter that should be thoroughly investigated. After all, this kind of thing happened under the nose of Chen Liu, Cao Ying, someone dared to act so blatantly on the street, it was like wiping the floor with his old Cao's face, especially the target of this assassination was Qin Xu, who had always had a poisonous mouth, if he didn't handle Chang'an well at this juncture, it would be tantamount to having some more variables, even if Qingzhou and Qin Xu himself didn't pursue it, it also gave other forces who had the heart to stay, and even the security of their own government couldn't be handled well, What excuse is there to guarantee the safety of the Son of Heaven?
"Lord, the last general is incompetent!" Cao Ren entered the hall, didn't look at Qin Xu, knelt down in front of Cao Yan angrily, and said in a relieved voice: "According to the last general's investigation of the corpses of several assassins who were killed, he didn't find any valuable clues!" These people dealt with their bodies very cleanly before acting, except for the calluses on these people's hands, you can see that these people are all good swordsmen who have practiced martial arts for many years, and they have found nothing! ”
"General Zixiao works hard, as long as it is found out that it is not the person who is left by Chen!" Qin Xu was originally quite happy because Cao Ying was confused by the actual situation and was able to enter the middle of the court, after all, Lu Bu just moved his mouth and said a few words of promise, and he got such a big benefit, no matter whether Cao Ying succeeded or failed this time, the reputation of this great Han Yichen can be regarded as settled. But when he heard what Cao Ren said about his previous backstabbing and came to these conclusions that were tantamount to nonsense, he couldn't help but speak.
"Ahem!" Qin Xu's words seem to be saying something for Cao Ren in front of Cao Ying, but in fact, he is very poisonous, not only alluding to whether Cao Ren used his heart to draw conclusions, but also obviously giving Cao Ren eye medicine in front of Cao Ying, even if he knows that it is useless, he can disgust the two of them, and in front of Cao Ying, he questioned Cao Jun's ability to do things under orders, without concealing it at all, and Cao Ren, who was already annoyed because Qin Xu was on the side but couldn't move, coughed dryly, and immediately had the urge to kill Qin Xu in spite of Cao Ying's obstruction. But seeing Dian Wei standing behind Qin Xu like a black statue, Cao Ren, who was not sure of victory, and might put Cao Ying in danger, could only take a few deep breaths, and could only pretend not to hear.
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!" Seeing that Cao Ren was uncomfortable by Qin Xu's words, Cao Ying was also depressed, first knowing that Lu Bu wanted a white wolf with empty gloves, but for the sake of the stability of the rear, he had to grit his teeth and accept it, and now he had to let Qin Xu "bully" his own general and brother here, but he could only make a haha. Why is it that as long as he is up to Qin Xu, he obviously has an advantage, but he always can't have a sense of superiority? Cao Ying doesn't want to see Qin Xu again for a moment now, as long as he can deal with the matter of Chang'an, the Qingzhou army will not block the rear, so that he can get what he wants smoothly, no matter how aggrieved he is at this moment, he can only endure it! Although he thinks so, he still has to do it, and he originally planned to keep Qin Xu, Lu Bu's son-in-law, as a hostage in Yanzhou like his own son, but now it seems that it would be good to be able to send this disaster star away smoothly. Therefore, Cao Ying almost gritted his teeth and gave a few words to Cao Ren, and then issued an order to expel the guest: "Because of the matter in Yanzhou, the Qin master book suffered in vain, it is indeed Cao's fault, but now there are too few clues, and the person led by the thief has fled, and now, as you said, since Qingzhou is arranging disaster relief matters, how can it lack such wisdom as the Qin master book?" According to a certain opinion, the master of Qin should return to Qingzhou as soon as possible. As for...... Ahem, Cao's commitment to General Lu's character is still trustworthy! ”
"Oops! General Cao is really open-minded! Originally, Qin Mou still wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to the eldest prince, it seems that General Cao didn't give Qin this opportunity, what a pity! Qin Xu was angry and didn't pay for his life, and sighed to himself and said: "Okay, what General Cao said is not unreasonable, fortunately, Qin and the eldest prince are both young, and they are called Fang Chang, and the eldest prince is also considered a clumsy junior brother, and after a few days, Qin will get married, why don't you let the eldest prince go back to Linzi with a certain person?" ”
"I knew that Master Qin was going to get married and win three beauties at the same time, which was really enviable. As for Ang'er, the old lady loves Sun very much, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go with her! However, Feng Xiantong is also like a brother, and Cao, as an elder, how can he not send it without He Yi! Cao Ying verbally took advantage of Qin Xu, and finally let out a sigh of relief, and said: "On the one hand, congratulations to Master Qin's wedding, and on the other hand, I am also shocked by Lord Qin!" I also hope that Master Qin's book will not be too polite! ”
"No! Don't think so! The elders give, don't dare to resign! Since it is a gift from General Cao, it will definitely not be anywhere, how dare Xu retreat? "Qin Xu, is he such a good person to be cheapened? Since Cao Ying compares the ages of Qin Xu and Cao Ang, Qin Xu just took the opportunity to make some benefits, so he can't come to Chen for nothing, right? Besides, I originally promised to take Lu Lingqi, who was waiting for me in the camp at the moment, to visit Chen Liucheng, but I suffered this kind of thing for no reason, even if it has nothing to do with Lao Cao, I have to have some blood.
"Zixiao! Drop-off! Cao Ying didn't want to stay with Qin Xu for a moment now, so he turned his back and didn't look at Qin Xu, and said. (To be continued.) )
