~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chongde Palace, Jia Xu witnessed this majestic and vast palace, from the foundation to the vast building. From the first day of the palace's inauguration, he entered the palace and remained one of the most important figures in the palace. In the past five years, he has been there almost every day, never resting, wind and snow.
Now walking on the familiar road, passing through the palace gates, and coming to the gate of the Chongde Palace, Jia Xu felt a crisis for the first time, that is, a feeling of electricity, and the hairs on his body stood up. This strong sense of crisis has only been three times in his life.
The first time was when I was young, I went out of Xiliang and was caught by a group of bandits. Dozens of people in the same company were looted and buried alive, and when it was his turn, he was in a hurry and claimed to be the grandson of Taiwei Duan Cheng, and escaped in the name of Duan Cheng, who was named Zhenxi Liang. That time, it was really the line between life and death.
The second time, after Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun took charge of the government and ordered the Xiliang army to be exterminated, while Li Dao and Guo Yan were afraid to abandon the army and fled. That time was really dangerous, if he hadn't persuaded Li and Guo Er to counterattack, he would have been unable to escape Wang Yun's poisonous hands.
The third time was that he was captured by the general Yu Huanghe on the same day, and with Jia Xu's insightful wisdom, he could see at a glance that if he was unwilling to surrender at that time, he would be killed mercilessly.
This is the fourth and most serious one, because the first three crises were visible. Guess it out. Only this time, although there is a strong feeling, where is the crisis? Where is it hidden? But you can't see it, you can't touch it.
Jia Xu glanced at the gloomy sky, took a deep breath of cool air in the air, and shook his sleeves, since he couldn't find the source of the crisis, he could only improvise.
Xu Yu behind him walked very loosely, as if he didn't mind anything, and he was even in the mood to laugh with Jia Xu on the road: "You and me, this is in the footsteps of General He and Dong Thief." Throw yourself into the net. ”
Jia Xu could only shake his head secretly, without seeing the letter, Xu Yu behaved like this, he could only say that his heart was too big, and he had nothing to do with it.
Walking up the long dragon tail road, Jia Xu noticed that the halberd armorers who used to guard on both sides were gone, and in their place were twenty-four chamberlains. The chamberlain saw Jia Xu and Xu You. Salute in unison.
Jia and Xu glanced at each other, tacitly knowing that this should be specially arranged by the queen, what dragon wolf, tiger ben, and feather forest. They are not allowed to step into the palace. The guards in front of the palace all let a group of chamberlains who were weaker than ordinary people take on the role, in order to reassure the group of people who were ordered to enter the court.
"Jia Xu (Xu You) see the queen."
"Jia Qing, Xu Jun, please take a seat."
The two thanked each other and sat down peacefully. Opposite them and above them sat a group of ministers. Jia Xu looked at the past one by one: Taiwei Yang Biao, Sikong Zhang Xi, Imperial History Doctor Liu Ai, Dasi Nong Zhao Wen, Zhijin Wufu Wan and others were all there, but they did not see Cheng Zhong Xuan in the Imperial History. In addition to these expected familiar faces. There are also two new faces that make Jia Xu quite vigilant, these two are young people, and they sit with them, judging from the ribbons they wear around their waists, it must be unusual for a small official of a few hundred stones to be able to enter the room.
After the curtain, he slowly spoke: "Since the funeral of the first emperor, the court and the central government have been unstable, the people are uneasy, and there are even more gossips and sensational. All of this stems from the discord between ministers, secretly quarrelsome, and even worse, they want to fight...... The first emperor's spiritual hall is still there, and the princes are eager to fry each other, what kind of system! ”
Speaking of the back, it was already stern and full of anger, which made all the ministers present sweat for it, whether it was said or not, they all bowed down and pleaded guilty, even after the ambush.
Fu Hou seemed to ease his breath, slowly regained his calm, and said: "Today is not a great dynasty, I specially invited Zhu Qing to come, just to let Zhu Qing see each other frankly and honestly, what can't we talk about?" Why do you have to do it? ”
Yang Biao and Zhang Xi glanced at each other and nodded silently.
Liu Ai was stunned, and looked at it hard, feeling depressed, but he couldn't speak.
Fu Wan was also surprised, but he didn't expect his daughter to put on a posture of not helping each other, which was different from her previous attitude. Fortunately, fortunately, they also prepared a backhand, otherwise if Jia Xu, the old fox, slipped away today, there would be no chance for him to be tricked - not to mention anything else, as long as someone handed over a copy of the fold and said that he was sick and recuperated, you would be helpless.
Jia Xu dusted off his sleeves and said with a smile: "What the queen said, I am very reasonable in governing the country, I am equal to the palace as a minister, and I can't talk about anything." It is okay to talk in private meetings, and it is also okay to negotiate in court. ”
At this time, the youngest low-level official on the opposite side laughed and said, "The queen is very honest and honest, which is exactly what we want. In this case, can Jia Lingjun submit the full translation of the secret letter and hand it over to the queen for inspection? ”
Jia Xu looked at the other party lightly: "Who is under the feet?" ”
"Hanoi Sima Yi, meet Jia Gong."
"Oh, it turned out to be the son of Sima Jiangong, how many people is Sima Bada?"
"Yizi Zhongda."
Sima Yi? He is the one who shoots the eagle and intercepts the secret letter mentioned in the secret letter; It was also him who proposed that the captains of the eight passes be exchanged and the advantages of the Luoyang Dragon and Wolf Army were wiped out. Hanoi Sima is really talented.
Jia Xu glanced at the young man up and down, and nodded secretly, it turned out that all the causes of the disaster were caused by this person. Sure enough, his words were sharp, and the afterlife was terrifying, but fortunately, he was also prepared.
Jia Xu took out a fold from his bosom, with a book of brocades in it, put it on the moire lacquer plate presented by the chamberlain, and said with a smile: "What Zhong Da said is very true, and he is as good as a stream, so he will present all the translated letters to the queen for inspection." Well, I, Jia Xu, swear in the name of the ancestors and ancestors, this is the full translation of the Eagle Book, and not a word has been changed - how, Zhugong, Zhongda, are you satisfied? ”
This oath is heavy enough, with the respect of the people of the time for their ancestors, the translation of this secret letter is absolutely true. Liu Ai, Fu Wan and the Sima brothers were completely blocked, and they couldn't find any faults.
Everyone watched as the tray held the letters, and behind the curtain, there was silence in the hall.
Yang Biao and Zhang Xi's faces softened a lot, while Liu Ai and Fu Wan were uneasy, and the Sima brothers made eye contact from time to time, unable to hide their anxiety, keenly feeling that things seemed to be slipping in a direction beyond their control.
There seemed to be a soft cry from behind the curtain, and then there was silence.
After Fu Wan, he couldn't help it, looked at it, and said, "Can the queen pass on the secret letter to her subordinates?" ”
Under normal circumstances, even the head of the ministers, Taiwei Yang Biao, would not dare to urge the queen, but he dared to do so, who would let the family be a family?
But what people never expected was that Empress Fu lightly refused: "The secret letter has been verified, there is indeed an arrogance, how to deal with it, and we will discuss it after the general returns to the court." ”
W-That's it?!
The princes stared at each other, completely unexpected, and at a loss.
Sima Yi secretly screamed even more, he made thousands of calculations, and he realized that there was nothing missing, but he didn't expect that there was a fatal flaw - the queen who they thought was the biggest helper and backer actually pulled the shelf! Losing the support of the queen, or even favoring the other party, this political battle was doomed to defeat from the beginning.
Don't say that the princes, even Xu You, stared at him in surprise, his hand shook unconsciously, and he tore off a few gray whiskers.
Jia Xu spread his sleeves and said with a smile: "Okay, if you want a secret letter, Jia Xu will give a secret letter, for the trouble this letter has brought to the princes, Jia Xu apologizes deeply, and will ask for guilt in person after the general returns to the court." ”
Jia Xu saluted the curtain on the Danqi and closed his sleeves: "The minister's move is only because of the practice of the national dynasty, and the selection of the prince must be presided over by the queen mother, the general or the prime minister, all of which are indispensable, so it is prevented to avoid chaos in the future." Since the next day, he is willing to think about it behind closed doors and no longer go to court until the general returns. ”
Liu Ai almost didn't jump up - treacherous! It's so treacherous! This reason seems reasonable, but in fact it is vulnerable, and you can mention it in the court when you have an opinion! Don't say it on the surface, secretly send a secret letter behind your back, naming and stopping the three princes from being candidates, no matter how you listen to it, it's not a good way, and you even make yourself loyal to the country, it's so shameless! And even thought of a way out, and planned to hide in the house until Ma Han came back......
Jia Xu's high-sounding reasons can't be hidden from a group of old political oilmen, and Jia Xu never thought of hiding it, as long as there is a reasonable reason on the face. Political things are like this, no matter how dirty they are on the inside, what is wrapped on the outside must be beautiful enough.
Obviously, in this political contest, Liu Ai, Fu Wan, Sima Yi and others were completely defeated in an unexpected way, and they didn't even have the strength to fight back - the younger brother was still saved from the rebellion, and now it is the boss's betrayal, so he can really only look up to the sky and sigh.
Xu You also finally understood what the "wonderful person" meant, and he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp for a while, shaking his head vigorously, and not daring to think about it.
Sima Yi stood up from the table and bowed: "Jia Gong is a good planner, and he is worthy of being the mastermind of the general, and Yi is willing to lose." ”
Jia Xu was excitedly rewarded: "Sima Zhongda, the future is terrifying." ”
As an important minister of the Han Dynasty, although Jia Xu's evaluation is not as well-known as Xu Shao's "Yuedan Commentary", his political influence is still excessive. With Jia Xu's eight-character comment, Sima Yi's reputation as a famous person in the world can't run.
This is the goodwill released by Jia Xu, with the intention of appeasement.
It's a pity...... Sima Yi bowed deeply to Jia Xu to show his gratitude, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of murderous intent: "Jia Gong, don't be impatient, the outcome is undecided, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer - listen!" ”
The thunder was faint, the dark clouds were rolling, and as a bolt of lightning lit up, the rustling of rain came from far and near, and the vision suddenly became foggy. A rain that had been brewing for many days finally came, and it was pouring. But no matter the thunder and lightning roared, and the rain was boiling, it couldn't hide the chaotic and frightening footsteps, and it gradually approached...... (To be continued......)
