Chapter 564: Exploring the Tiger's Heart, Cui Yan was captured
readx;
After the discussion, Kong Rong and Fu Wan left the palace, and Liu Xie went around the harem and met Queen Fu. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info hugged Empress Fu for a while, Liu Xie had to go to Cao Guifei's residence, taken by Cao Ying's Yinwei, Liu Xie not only lost the power of the emperor, but also lost the dignity of a man.
Concubine Cao Guifei didn't ask Liu Xie to do anything, she just wanted to get her husband's love, but from the first day she entered the palace, Liu Xie regarded her as Cao Xie's secret agent, how could she fall in love with her, even if she did a lot of things for Liu Xie! For example, Liu Xie summoned Fu Wan and others, without the acquiescence of Concubine Cao, no one would be able to enter the palace!
When he came to Cao Guifei's bedroom, Liu Xie put on a flattering smile, he didn't know that his secret meeting was over, and Kong Rong's affair had been known by Cao Guifei, and he didn't know that if there was no Cao Guifei, not to mention that Kong Rong and Kong Rong would not survive tonight, even he would not be able to eat and walk around. However, even if he knew everything, he would not be grateful to Cao Guifei, because in his eyes, it was completely Cao Ying's responsibility that he would fall to the point where he is now!
Seeing her husband's face full of grievances and flattery, Cao Guifei's heart really hurt. There is no woman who does not want to be loved by her husband, but her husband has a false and aggrieved attitude every day, and no matter how gentle and virtuous a woman is, there will be grievances. But a good tutor made her unable to be angry with Liu Xie, so she could only bear it silently! It's a pity that when Liu Xie saw her gentleness, not only did he not have any pity, but he often gritted his teeth secretly in his heart and said: "When I kill Cao Ying, I will leave you, and then reward your subordinates as slaves and maids, and finally send them to the military camp..."
Some people always regret it when they lose, Liu Xie has lost too much and gained a lot of things, but he always feels that he has lost more than he has gained, so he keeps taking, but he doesn't know how to pay. Whether it is Dong Zhuo, Cao Ying, or Concubine Cao, he never misses the kindness of others, only thinks about his own grievances, people like this don't even have friends, how can they have loyal subordinates? Liu Xie will never understand, and no one can tell him!
Just when Liu Xie and Cao Guifei were in vain and wronged with the snake, Kong Rong had already come to Cui's mansion, and in order not to let him alone dominate the great work of persuading Cui Yan, he did not leave after Fu Wan. Hearing that Guozhang and Kong Daru had arrived, although Cui Yan didn't want to come forward, but for the sake of Kong Rong and Cui Lie's friendship, he still opened the door to welcome guests!
"Two adults, what are you doing?" Welcoming the two into the hall, Cui Yan asked straight to the point about the intention of the two.
"Please also ask Mr. Cui to step back and go!" Looking at the house slave in the hall, he didn't want to leak the secret, so he didn't wait for Kong Rong to speak, he spoke directly!
Although Cui Yan didn't like Fu Wan's attitude very much, since he let the two of them enter the mansion, he also wanted to know the purpose of the two. With a wave of his hand, everyone in the hall left, Cui Yan asked, "Two, can you say what you mean now?" ”
"Master Cui, I don't know if you are loyal to Your Majesty!" Fu Wan directly asked a question that made Cui Yan quite embarrassed, which made the atmosphere in the hall stagnant!
"What do you mean?" Cui Yan frowned, quite unhappy in his heart, he thought that the two of them were here to test him!
"I don't mean anything else, I just want to know if you're loyal to Your Majesty!" After Fu finished staring at Cui Yan, Cui Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip, but he didn't pay attention to him anymore!
"Master Kong, I know that you are good friends with your ancestors, so I invited you into the mansion, but as soon as the abbot entered the mansion, he said some inexplicable things. That being said, you are not welcome here! Cui Yan picked up the tea bowl and said, "Send off!" ”
"Slow!" Kong Rong said with a smile: "Ji Jue, in fact, we are here by order of the Son of Heaven, don't have any doubts!" ”
"Son of Heaven Order?" Cui Yan sneered: "Show me!" ”
"Ji Jue, it's not that you don't know the current situation of the Son of Heaven, if he could give a holy decree, he would have ordered King Qin a long time ago!" Kong Rong spread his hands, his face full of helplessness!
"How can I believe that you are the messengers of the Son of Heaven?" Cui Yan shook his head and said; "Do you know how my brother Cui Lin died? is the so-called messenger of the Son of Heaven who took the holy decree to ask him to rebel against Liu Zhang, but was discovered by Liu Zhang, and as a result, the whole family was killed, and the Cui family was also implicated and had to move out of Jizhou! At that time, the messenger of the Son of Heaven still had a holy decree, but you had nothing! ”
Fu Wan sighed: "It is true because there is no holy decree, if there is a holy decree, it means that Cao Ying knows!" Now that Cao Ying is in power, even the Son of Heaven is surrounded by Cao Ying's people, how dare the Son of Heaven issue an edict again. The matter of the edict has always been a pain in the heart of the Son of Heaven! ”
When it came to the edict of the clothes belt, Cui Yan also came to his senses, but he didn't want to participate in the court battle, so as not to die in vain! After hesitating for a long time, Cui Yan said; "Two lords, it's not that I'm unfaithful to Your Majesty, but there's really nothing I can do about it. Although Cao Gong is a little excessive, he still respects His Majesty very much! Before Cao Gong has a clear objection, I don't want to go against him! ”
"It's too late for Cao Ying to have objections!" Fu Wan said angrily: "Cao Ying has millions of soldiers, if he defeats Liu Zhang, no one in the world can contain him." When the time comes, he will replace His Majesty, do you want to see that day? ”
"This..."Cui Yan smiled bitterly: "Even if I am willing to help you, what strength do I have?" In Jizhou, everything in the Cui family was deprived by Liu Zhang, and he only left me some meager capital, so that I could barely buy some land in Shouchun! Now, there's nothing I can do! ”
"You don't need to pay for people, you just need to run errands!" Seeing Cui Yan loosening, he was overjoyed, in his opinion, Cui Yan would agree to him!
"Running errands?" Cui Yan frowned and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"Contact Sima Yi!" Fu Wan said: "A few days ago, there were rumors that Sima Yi and Cao Ying were at odds, according to our observation, there was indeed a conflict between the two, Your Majesty hopes that you can contact Sima Yi!" ”
"Why are you looking for me?" Cui Yan was a little puzzled and said: "I don't have much friendship with Sima Yi, and I don't even know each other at all. How can you be sure that Sima Yi will listen to me! ”
"Because of your origin!" Fu Wan said with a smile: "Sima Yi has had dealings with His Majesty before, and now he has a conflict with Cao Ying, and he should be able to be used by His Majesty." Although our status is not low, but in the eyes of the family, it is not taken seriously, only the Cui family, an old family, can make Sima Yi sincerely cooperate, but also show His Majesty's strength and sincerity! ”
"I see!" Cui Yan nodded and said, "Although I don't want to participate in the court dispute, since it is His Majesty's will, I will reluctantly make it difficult!" When do you want me to see Sima Yi? ”
"The sooner the better, of course!" Fu Wan said: "Before you find out Sima Yi's intentions, don't confide in Your Majesty's affairs, otherwise Your Majesty will be in danger!" ”
"Don't worry, I understand!" Cui Yan smiled slightly, if he didn't find out Sima Yi's intentions, he wouldn't even say his true intentions, after all, he didn't want to die. In case Sima Yi's heart turned to Cao Ying and sold him, wouldn't he die unjustly!
"In that case, please leave as soon as possible, and we will go!" Seeing that the goal has been achieved, he got up and said goodbye. Although Kong Rong didn't say a few words, he also bowed and left. With their identity, it is no good to stay in Cui Mansion for a long time!
"Send two!" Cui Yan was originally a loyal and patriotic person, he ordered someone to send the two out of the mansion, and began to pack his bags and go to Wancheng! It's a pity that when he left, he embarked on a road of no return!
Think about it, with Cao Ying's wisdom, how could he not send someone to spy on Shouchun's royalists? As soon as Cui Yan came into contact with Kong Rong and Fu Wan, someone passed the news to the Tiger Prison Pass. Although I don't know what the three of them talked about, with Cao Ying's suspiciousness and rather than indulgence in his surname, how could he let Cui Yan go. However, he was very curious about Cui Yan's purpose and wanted to put a long line to catch big fish, especially after Cui Yan left Shouchun!
Shouchun to Wancheng had to cross the entire Jingzhou, and Cui Yan took a full twenty days to arrive, and he slept in the open along the way, which made him suffer a lot. In order to complete Liu Xie's entrustment as soon as possible, after he arrived in Wancheng, he went straight to the city guard's mansion. When Sima Yi heard that Cui Yan had arrived, he was shocked and hurriedly came out to greet him!
"Brother Ji Jue, what kind of wind blew you here?" Bringing Cui Yan into the city guard's mansion, Sima Yi immediately arranged a banquet for him to pick up the wind and wash the dust, how to say that the Qinghe Cui family is also a member of the family, Sima Yi does not dare to slack off!
"Zhongda, I heard that you are resourceful and came to visit, I wonder if you welcome it?" Who wouldn't be sloppy? Although Cui Yan doesn't like intrigue, for the sake of Liu Xie's big affairs, he also rejects Sima Yixu and wronged snakes!
"This..."Sima Yi's heart sank, he understood that Cui Yan must have something important, but he was not in a hurry, since Cui Yan came to him, it meant that this matter must have a lot to do with him. So, Sima Yi began to persuade him to drink, and soon made Cui Yan a little dizzy! But Cui Yan's mouth is not ordinarily tight, even if he is dizzy, he doesn't reveal the slightest breath!
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Cui Yan began to test Sima Yi's attitude, but as for his drunken state, he pretended to be good! When it comes to acting, who can be better at it than people from big families. Of course, if you meet someone who solves you, you will be in some trouble! Fortunately, Cui Yan and Sima Yi met for the first time and had no contact before! One is scheming, the other is an old cunning, the two have been trying for a long time, but they haven't found out each other's thoughts, but Sima Yi heard a clue, after all, Sima Yi's wisdom is much higher than Cui Yan!
Now that he knew Cui Yan's general purpose, Sima Yi intentionally or unintentionally introduced the topic to Liu Xie, and showed his sympathy and loyalty to Liu Xie. The self-righteous Cui Yan really thought that Sima Yi had the Han family in mind, so he told Kong Rong and Fu Wan's entrustment, and did not mention Liu Xie. When Sima Yi knew Cui Yan's purpose, he immediately turned his face and ordered someone to take him down! Looking at Sima Yi's hideous face, Cui Yan was a little stunned, he didn't know why Sima Yi said that he would turn his face. However, he didn't have a chance to ask...
