Chapter 23 Casting Ge as a Plowshare
Shi Xun has been friends with Lu Hong for so many years, and how much energy that guy has, he has a much deeper understanding than Shi Fu. Thinking that Zhao Da was arrogant and domineering back then, he dared to step on Shixun's head, but he was separated by Shixun's first body. Lu Hong was really frightened by killing chickens and monkeys, and since then he has secretly communicated with Shixun and passed him a lot of information in private. Do you say that this man is so sharp and cautious that he can't imagine that he could be motivated to kill people?
Shi Xun knew that Lu Hong couldn't move himself for the time being, because his reputation was too bad and his own reputation was too good, even if he came up with solid evidence, no one would believe it. Besides, he has been expelled from the inner court, how else can he reach the heavens? It's going to be blocked back with the Imperial Observatory or some other department.
But I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid that thieves are worried that as long as Lu Hong holds these evidence to blackmail himself, he will eventually be a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, and maybe one day the situation changes, he will jump out and embarrass himself. Therefore, it was proposed to assassinate Lu Hong, but Shixun opposed it on the surface, but in fact he was optimistic about it - if you can really kill him, that is the best, and it will save me a lot.
It's just that "before you think about winning, you should think about defeat first", Lu Hong is a smart person, he knows that his political life is over, no matter how much he threatens Shixun, it is impossible to return to Luoyang after all, he just wants to save the rest of his life now, and his wish is enough. If you try to assassinate him and fail, maybe he will take the risk and fight you to the death.
Knowing that he will definitely not be able to survive before he fights, if there is still a glimmer of life, Lu Hong will not deliberately embarrass Shi Xun, he is afraid that he will not succeed in a murder. A second time. Therefore, it was Xuncai who specially sent Zhuge Dan to send a farewell gift. He also deliberately let Zhuge Gongxiu be one step late - if he went out of the city. Lu Hong has already hung up, then you just came back to report the news, if Lu Hong does not die, you will chase him all the way to Luling, and see if he is willing to go back to work.
If Lu Hong really went to Luling, it means that he still has the last ray of hope, then Shi Xun took the opportunity to ask Zhuge Dan to present him with hope - that is the silk robe.
Shi Xun sandwiched a note in his robe, with only eight words on it: "Yi Mo Ruoxin." People don't know why. The words "Yanzi Spring and Autumn" means: "The new clothes are good, and the friends are still the old relatives." ”
It is said that this hand is still learned from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu hung the seal and sealed the gold to find Liu Bei, and Cao Cao specially gave a robe to the bridge to leave room for seeing each other in the future. It's Xun's meaning, I still care about my past friendships, I won't force you to death, you can stay with Luling honestly.
Lu Hongde saw the words and immediately understood the meaning. So he smiled and said to Zhuge Dan: "The children are rude, and they are kind." "I know you don't necessarily want to kill me. I guess it was your bastard son's idea, you can rest assured, as long as you let me die well, I won't come to harass you.
Shixun has been doing nothing on the surface these days, but in fact, he has been hanging in his heart, and he waited until Zhuge returned on his birthday, described Lu Hong's performance that day, and retold that sentence, and then finally the big stone in his heart fell to the ground. He warned that this matter was over, and you should not have any more demon moths. He really wanted to put Lu Hong to death as soon as possible, but after all, the mountains and rivers were far away, and the possibility of failure was too great to send people to carry out the assassination mission, and once he failed, he was afraid that things would be completely out of control. Forget it, just wait for the chance.
When Gan Ning was sent to Luoyang, the court had already made a decision, released him on the spot, and ordered him to meet Cao Chao in a robe. However, Gan Xingba was so strong, and he stiffened his neck and refused: "My monarch sees that he is in Yongchang, and he can worship him?" When the news reached Cao Chao's ears, the little emperor was furious, so he ordered Gan Ning to be beheaded and abandoned to the city.
Shi Xun stood up to intercede for Gan Ning, saying: "Xi Boyi and Shu Qi are ashamed to eat Zhou Su, and they don't regard Zhou Wu as the king, and King Wu can only forgive him." Although Yi and Qi are loyal and loyal gentlemen, who does not say that the matter of Shouyang is wrong, and Mu Zhouwu is a usurper? There has been an edict before, and those who opened the city were pardoned, and they were arrested and killed, and there was no way to show His Majesty's leniency. Gan Ning's words, if they are regarded as loyalty, then the loyal minister An Ke is killed? If it is regarded as madness, then why should the Holy Son of Heaven be angry with a madman? ”
Cao Chao was not a very murderous monarch in the first place, and it was quite reasonable to hear this-is there any reason why the words in Xun's mouth are still unreasonable? If you ignore it, you will be justified - so he ordered Gan Ning to be temporarily detained and imprisoned.
Shixun also went to meet Gan Ning on a special trip, and what kind of appearance this famous "Jinfan thief" was. When we met, I saw him, hey, what a strong man. The two talked a little, and Gan Ning asked: "The former horse often comes, and I am ashamed to eat Wei Su, and he is said to give me one or two sea boats, which can be used to go." Broken Promises? ”
Shi Xun smiled: "If you worship the Son of Heaven, you can indulge; I refuse to worship now, just to be a prisoner. Gan Ning shook his head again and again: "Don't worship." Imprisoned. ”
Yes Xun said that then you can stay in prison for a while, and when the anger of the Son of Heaven is gone, you will have the opportunity to go to sea. Gan Ning squinted at Shi Xun: "I heard that the Son of Heaven wanted to kill Ning, but it was a public admonition." I am the first acquaintance of the public, what is the difference? Shi Xun smiled: "Although I have known each other for the first time, I have been famous for a long time. There are not many strong men in the world, and Encore is good at killing? Gan Ning frowned and said: "It's a public kindness, I'd rather be ashamed." However, it will not descend to the Wei room. "It's Xun Xin who said whatever you want, just say haha and leave.
With the fall of Liyang and Jiangzhou, the situation finally drove to stability, and the important ministers discussed that it was time to focus on civil affairs issues, and Liu Xian, Wei Qi, and others even suggested that since "the Quartet has nothing to do", they could be disarmed in large quantities and let go of troops for farmers. Shi Xun said: "Although China is determined, the four Yi are still there, how can there be nothing to do?" Lu Bu saw that in the Western Regions, although he was sealed by the king, his heart was quite unpredictable; Zhao Yun and Liu Chan still refused Yongchang; Xianbei and Juli also entered the court. If the troops are cut immediately, it may be difficult to gather when something happens. ”
After repeated consultations, it was finally decided to recall the soldiers and horses of Shu one after another, and to attack Yongchang County in the future, and let Cao Ren recruit soldiers and horses from Shu for it. In anticipation of their old and weak troops, the garrisons in the Central Plains region were reduced by two-fifths of the total number, while the troops and horses in the northern prefectures of Liang, Shuo, He, You, and Ping remained unchanged for the time being, and they had to look for opportunities to attack and strive to completely solve the problems of Xianbei and Goguryeo.
The ministers also wanted to cut the division of the navy, and Shixun promised to cut half of the division of the Yangtze River, but the division of the East China Sea - don't worry. I found a battle for them: "Yooko just took the three Hans in front of him." do not retreat; Goguryeo also came to intrude. It can be complemented by a boat master. Destroy these two fangs to determine the northeast. ”
Liu Xian said Ling Gong, your appetite is too big, are you addicted to fighting? "Sanhan is submissive, but Liu Zigang provokes with selfish desires. Although Juli is not convinced by the king, and the soldiers are scared, why bother to mobilize the people and want to destroy their country? ”
Shi Xun replied: "Juli has been in the Kou from time to time since the new recklessness, and it is a disaster in Liaodong. Even more than Karasuma and Xianbei, the Later Han Dynasty repeatedly deterred them, but they could not make them peaceful. If people are lying on the couch and the rats are biting on the couch, there is no great harm, and it is enough to be annoying. In addition, Liaodong to Lelang, stop together, if it is blocked by Juli, Lelang must not be owned by China. As for Samhan. It also tasted the erosion of China's land, and the loss of the four counties of the former Han Dynasty. There is a lesson to be learned. Today, China is stable, with a county in Liaodong can destroy Juli, and a county in Lelang can level three Hans. ”
The crowd said, well, you're justified...... No, it is Ling Gong's grasp of the general trend of the world, and we all admire it. Then, as you said, Liaodong will be Goguryeo, Lelang will be the three Koreas, and only the boats will be sent to assist each other, and the central government will no longer send other troops and horses to assist -- if you agree to this bottom line, we will approve your plan.
When Shixun came back from work, he wrote letters to Deng Ai, Shi Bao, and Liu Yi, asking them about the situation in the northeast and asking them if they were sure of victory. Liu Yi replied, first expressed his loyalty, and then begged bitterly, you must send me reinforcements, with reinforcements, everything is easy to say, otherwise it will be really difficult for my family to completely wipe out Sanhan within ten years. Deng Ai's reply was a thick stack, but there was no nonsense, from the situation of the mountains and rivers to the courage and cowardice of the soldiers, as well as the number of grains in Liaodong County, the results of their Tuntian in the past few years, no matter how big or small, one by one, the numbers listed in it alone made Shi Xun look at the big head, and the special disciples carefully calculated, and the results were fine. At the end of the letter, Deng Ai promised Shixun on behalf of the little brothers: "This autumn, we can lead 5,000 Guli soldiers and 5,000 soldiers from Liaodong County, and we will destroy Guli and win Luoyang!" ”
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the autumn harvest period, Cao Ren in Chengdu, Deng Ai and Shi Bao in Liaodong, and Liu Yi in Lelang, all of them have raised their own troops and horses and started a new round of conquest. The outcome of the battle is still unknown, approaching the first anniversary of Cao Cao's death, it stands to reason that Cao Chao should take the clan, important ministers and female relatives in the palace to pay tribute, but Cao Chao fell ill, so sick that he could only lie on the couch, and he couldn't even get off the ground.
Cao Chao summoned Shixun to the pilgrimage and asked him how the compilation of "Wei Lu" was? Shi Xun replied: "It will be completed, and it will be presented in the first month of next year, and Your Majesty's grace will grant it to the world." "Cao Chao said that there is still some finishing work left, and it is estimated that Ling Gong will be able to spare a little time-" Nai Ke can sweep the Gaoling on behalf of me. ”
Shixun frowned and said, "Dazai can go on behalf of the Son of Heaven." "Cao Chao said that of course my uncle also wants to go, but as far as his little talent, you know and I know, I'm afraid that he won't be able to preside over the overall situation, and he still needs to make the public go with him - Taichung affairs, pay Liu Shizong (Liu Xian) and Zheng Wengong (Zheng Hun) can also.
It's Xunxin who said that you think I'm a good shopkeeper, right, I usually don't have anything to deal with, so it's appropriate to leave Beijing, right? is full of unhappiness, but since Cao Chao insists on ordering, there is no excuse.
So it was Xun father and son (who was the son-in-law of the deceased, who accompanied Princess Shanyang), Cao De, etc., who guarded the Empress Dowager Bian and others, and left the capital Luoyang on the same day, and set off to Beibi Mountain to worship Cao Cao's tomb. Most of them also followed, and only the deputy officials were left in charge of each department -- anyway, with the preparations for the ceremony, it was only five or six days before and after, and they could ask for instructions at any time whenever there was an important matter, so as not to disrupt the state affairs.
Before arriving at Cao Cao's mausoleum, Shi Xun couldn't help but sigh with emotion - after he wore this incident, he assisted Cao Cao for most of his life, and the name in the original history books turned into a human being, living in front of him, Cao Cao's foresight, ambition, and suspicion, cruelty and killing, all kinds of characteristics are no longer cold words. If you want to change the course of history, or just want to leave a name in history, you can also rely on Cao Cao's help. But he finally died, seemingly years before the original history...... Is it true that if a person's life expectancy is fixed, and if he has extended the life expectancy of many people, he will inevitably reduce the life expectancy of others?
All the preparations for the sacrifice are ready, tomorrow is the right day, Ben should lead a hundred officials to sweep the Gaoling, suddenly this night, Shi Xun received a secret letter, Nai Huan Fan sent someone to come, the letter only wrote four words:
"Turn the tiger away from the mountain." (To be continued.) )
