Chapter 563: Gathering Loyal Ministers and Unwilling to Be a Puppet
readx;
The personnel of the Intelligence Department under Liu Zhang's command are pervasive, and the rumors of Sima Yi's feud with Cao Ying have spread all over the Han Dynasty, although under Cao Ying's suppression, the rumors began to subside, but most people know about it. In the Shouchun Palace, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion, Liu Xie, who learned the rumors, was a little impatient, and he ordered someone to recruit Yang Biao and Fu Wan, who were the only remaining fruits. Of course, there will never be fewer people who are loyal to the royal family, and among these people, there is more Taizhong Doctor Kong Rong!
"See Your Majesty!" Since Dong Cheng and a group of people were killed by Cao Ying, Liu Xie has not summoned Fu Wan and Yang Biao alone for two or three years, and it is because of this that the two survived, and Queen Fu did not follow in the footsteps of Concubine Dong!
"Excuse me, have you heard?" Liu Xie was a little impatient, but the three of them were stunned for a moment.
"What did you hear?" Fu Wan blinked his eyes wide, as if he didn't understand.
"Old fox!" Liu Xie is not a teenage hairy boy, now that he is over age, he can already see other people's thoughts and the city! However, he was still counting on Fu Wan and the others to help, so he had to smile and say, "Of course, it's a rumor between Sima Yi and Cao Ying." If it is true, Sima Yi can be used by me. Without Sima Yi, how could Cao Ying be my opponent? ”
"Your Majesty, even if Sima Yi and Cao Ying are not in harmony, how do you know that he will not be another Cao Ying?" Yang Biao is scheming, he understands that he has already understood Liu Xie's current situation. If it weren't for the fact that he still had three feelings for Liu Xie, he would never enter the palace again! In fact, he has been out of the imperial court for several years!
"Lord Yang, that's not what I said, with Sima Yi's strength in the court, we should be able to grasp it. Besides, Sima Yi was born noble, how could he be compared to Cao Ying after the eunuch? Seeing Yang Biao splashing Liu Xie's cold water, he was a little displeased, after all, Liu Xie was still his son-in-law!
"Humph!" Yang Biao snorted coldly: "Cao Ying is Cao Teng's adopted son, but the Cao family is also a century-old family, after Cao Shen, a famous minister in the early Han Dynasty, and Cao Ying himself is from the Xiahou family, and is the descendant of Xiahou Ying, a famous minister in the early Han Dynasty. Even the heroes of the past can't be trusted, how can they believe the Sima family? ”
"The Sima family has been inherited for thousands of years, how can it be compared to Cao Shen and Xiahou Ying?" After the-for-tat confrontation, before he began to calculate Cao Ying, he and Yang Biao fought first!
"Ridiculous! Just by virtue of the long time of inheritance, you dare to believe him, the Yuan family is not a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, and Yuan Shu still rebels! The palace where His Majesty lives was built when Yuan Shu was called emperor in the past! Yang Biao sighed, he really didn't want to see Liu Xie and Cao Ying go against him, otherwise he didn't dare to guarantee what Cao Ying would do!
"Yuan Shu is just a very small person!" After lying down, his face was red, he was a supporter of the Yuan family back then, and he asked the Yuan family for help several times. It's a pity that the Yuan family doesn't seem to be optimistic about Liu Xie!
"Rarely? It's this very few that almost subverted the big man! Yang Biao sighed and said: "Your Majesty, now Cao Ying has no place to be sorry for you, and he is fighting with Liu Zhang, if you make any changes, it will lead to the defeat of the frontline." At that time, even if there is no Cao Ying, there will still be Zhang Ying and Wang Ying. If Liu Zhang is allowed to unify the world, you will not end well, please think twice! ”
"Yang Biao, I haven't seen you for a few years, I only know that you ignore the government, but I didn't expect you to fall to Cao Ying?" Fu Wan pointed at Yang Biao and scolded, as if Yang Biao had betrayed the emperor.
"Alas... Iniquity is forgivable, but self-inflicted iniquity cannot be lived! Yang Biao sighed and said: "Since Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I am also a burden here, from now on, the old minister will no longer ask about the government, and please don't come to look for it, say goodbye!" ”
"Your Majesty, did you really let him go? If he tells Cao Ying about us, we will die! Watching Yang Biao stride out of the palace, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Forget it! Lord Yang is old, why should you bother with him, I believe he will not betray us! Liu Xie sighed, how could he not understand what Yang Biao meant, but let him continue to be a puppet, he was unwilling! In the past, there was Sima Yi's mountain, which made him breathless. Now that Cao Ying and Sima Yi have a falling out, if he can bring Sima Yi under his command, he will have a chance to become the rightful emperor! Of course, if it weren't for Cao Ying and Liu Zhang's rivalry, Liu Xie wouldn't have the confidence to get rid of Cao Yi even if he won Sima Yi!
"Your Majesty is generous, I admire it!" Kong Rong, who had never spoken, was quite happy to see Liu Xie being so generous. A wise monarch must not only have outstanding ability, but also measure, otherwise it is impossible to become a master!
"Dr. Kong's praise!" Liu Xiedao: "Lord Yang has assisted the emperor for more than ten years, and has served me for more than twenty years, which can be described as a high level of hard work. Now, he has no confidence in me, and I will not force him, after all, I have been trapped by Cao Ying for more than 20 years, and in the past 20 years, my power has become weaker and weaker! To tell you the truth, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of losing my ancestors. Although Liu Zhang looked down on me, I couldn't ignore his royal bloodline. Instead of letting Cao Ying, a chaotic minister and thief, usurp the throne, it is better to hand over the world to the emperor's uncle! Since the battle between Cao Thief and Uncle Huang is in a critical period, I will help Uncle Huang and fight for myself by the way! If Cao Ying can be removed, the world will have to choose between me and Uncle Huang. At that time, no matter whether you win or lose, the big man will still be the Liu family! ”
"Your Majesty is really wise!" Kong Rong saluted again and said: "If Your Majesty can really get rid of Cao Ying, the minister is willing to go to Chang'an in person and say that the Duke of Qin is coming!" With the loyalty of the Duke of Qin, he is by no means an ambitious person. However, at that time, I hope that Your Majesty will listen to the teachings of Qin Gong more, so that the Han Dynasty can be stable for a long time! ”
"I remember Dr. Kong's words!" Looking at Kong Rong, Liu Xie sneered in his heart, in his mind, the biggest careerist in the world is Liu Zhang. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to be Cao Ying's puppet a long time ago. His hatred for Liu Zhang can't be washed away by pouring the water of the Yellow River! If he is in power, the first person to be killed is Liu Zhang!
"That's great!" People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, although Kong Rong has no ability, he is a humble gentleman, how does he know what Liu Xie is thinking, he still thinks that Liu Xie really listened to his words!
"Doctor Kong, the most important thing now is how to get rid of Cao Ying, a chaotic minister and thief!" Seeing that Liu Xie and Kong Rong were a little off-topic, they immediately stood up and corrected them!
"It's me who is confused!" Kong Rong said with a smile: "Guozhang, with our strength, we can't help Cao Ying, if we want to help Your Majesty, we have to win over Sima Yi." I still have a few friends in Shouchun, maybe I can help, but I still need you to help me contact Sima Yi! ”
Fu Wan sighed: "Actually, it is best for Yang Biao to do the matter of contacting Sima Yi, how can I say that the Yang family and the Sima family are both big families, and the relationship is not shallow!" Although my identity is noble, I can't enter the eyes of the family! ”
"This..."Liu Xie asked, "Guozhang, except for Yang Biao, is there no one who can work for me?" ”
"Yes!" Fu Wan said: "Cui Yan Cui Ji Jue is a member of the Cui clan in Qinghe, he is a square and serious person, and he is also loyal to His Majesty. With the background of the Cui clan in Qinghe, if Cui Yan is willing to help contact Sima Yi, it will definitely be a matter of course! ”
"Cui Yan is indeed a good candidate!" Kong Rong nodded and said, "I heard that the Cui family has a feud with Duke Qin, and Cui Yan's brother Cui Lin also died under Duke Qin's knife. It is said that Cui Yan has been haunted by the death of his younger brother. Disheartened, he moved out of Jizhou, but he didn't choose to enter the court as an official, I don't know if he will help us! ”
"If someone else invites him, he will naturally not come, if His Majesty makes an order, plus my face, will he dare not come?" Fu Wan patted his chest very confidently, Kong Rong knew that he was narrow-minded and would not go toe-for-tat with him, so he kept silent.
Seeing that Kong Rong had no opinion, Liu Xie smiled and said, "In this case, this matter will be handed over to the Guozhang to handle." However, the national ruler must pay attention to safety, and don't let Cao Ying's people know about it! You should know that in order to keep you, I have even alienated the queen. Today, I still came here in the name of seeing the prince, you must be careful! ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Fu Wan said: "Except for Sima Yi betraying us, we will never let you have the slightest problem!" However, please give me an edict to impress Cui Yan! ”
"This..."Liu Xie said with some hesitation: "Guozhang, what do you think I have here to write an edict?" Besides, even if it is written to you, you can't take it out! Thinking about it back then, I couldn't help but come up with an edict, but Sima Yi saw through it and killed Wu Zilan and a few of them, and I really didn't dare to write an edict anymore! ”
"If Your Majesty doesn't write an edict, why should Cui Yan believe me?" Fu Wan frowned, because Liu Xie gave him a problem!
"Guozhang, why don't I contact Cui Yan!" Kong Rong thought for a while and said, "He may not believe your words, but my words, he should believe them!" ”
"Doctor Kong, don't you even look down on me?" Fu Wan was a little angry, and his eyes looked at Kong Rong in a daze.
"Of course not! I have a very close relationship with Cui Yan's ancestor Cui Lie, if I go to say it, Cui Yan should believe it! Kong Rong was full of smiles, he was a minister in Beihai, and once said that the seats were always full, the wine in the cup was not empty, and I was not alone. Therefore, he has made friends all over the world, coupled with his identity as a Confucian, he is even more talkative and laughing, and there is no vain correspondence. At that time, many people were proud to have met Kong Rong, and it was a very common thing for him to meet and intersect with Cui Lie! However, because Kong Rong knows too many people, others don't know who he knows!
"I see!" Since Kong Rong didn't look down on himself, he wouldn't be angry after Fu Wan, he smiled and said, "Since Dr. Kong has this relationship, this matter will be handed over to you!" ”
"Don't worry!" Kong Rong said very firmly: "For the sake of the Han River, for the sake of Your Majesty, the old man will do his best!" ”
"With Dr. Kong's words, I am relieved!" Liu Xie looked at Kong Rong with a smile, but there was a trace of hatred in his eyes, he already had the appearance of Cao Ying being trampled under his feet in his mind, and the person he wanted to step on the most was Liu Zhang...
