Chapter 11: The Two Ends of the First Rat
The person who stood up to refute Zhu Shuo, who was weak in his age, was also from Jinyang, Taiyuan County, and his surname was Wang Chang Wenshu.
The biggest surname in Taiyuan County is Wang, there was a world-famous Situ Wang Yun, and Wang Yun's nephew Wang Ling was forcibly recruited as a guest when he was Xun Mu guarding Hedong, and then recommended by Wang Cang and others, and now the official is in Yingzhou Assassin History. However, Wang Yun and Wang Ling, who originated in Qi County, and Wang Chang, the Jinyang Wang family, were a family five hundred years ago, but now they can't beat eight poles.
It's just that they are all in the same county, the sound is the same, when everyone looks at Wang Ling, Wang Chang and the young Junyan, Wang Ling is older, Wang Chang is a brother, and so on after the Wang family in Qi County is developed again, the Wang family of Jinyang simply put a shy face on the joint sect, and merge the two families into one - this is not a rare thing at that time, the big family always uses the means of the joint sect to snowball the family power into a big and bigger general, as long as it is not easy to ensure that the large sect is not easy, the more the same surname is absorbed, the more the small sect is thick, the more branches are strong, and the strong is solid.
When Cao Pi was the crown prince, he made Wang Chang a prince of literature through Wang Ling's recommendation, and was respected by Cao Pi because of his extraordinary insight and elegant articles. Wang Ling's original intention was not only to arrange a good position for this little brother, but also to facilitate the future after Cao Pi ascended the throne, the Wang family could be expensive because of this, who would have thought that there would be unforeseen circumstances, Cao Pi became the prince not long ago, and was ousted from power.
Wang Ling was disappointed, but also felt very sorry for Wang Chang, and just ordered him to be the assassin of Yingzhou, so he invited Wang Chang to go with him. After the reform of Cao Wei, most of the state and county officials were appointed by the imperial court, rather than the governor himself, but the chief always needed a few henchmen, even if he did not occupy the establishment, he could also find an opportunity to arrange some temporary posts, and after accumulating a certain amount of merit, it would be more convenient to ask the officials to be awarded by the ministry - after all, the system was initially established, and there were still many loopholes. It would be strange if no one was taking advantage of the loopholes.
However, Wang Chang refused, saying that Cao Pi treated him very well, and he would rather follow the vassal and be a minor official in his vassal domain. Cao Pi therefore valued Wang Chang more, and soon became a confidant.
Zhu Shuo persuaded Cao Pi to respond to Cao Chong's call. There are two main reasons for the rebellion: first, this world should have been yours as the king, you were the prince, but you were framed by the villain to lose your position; Second, don't be afraid that Cao Chong has ulterior motives, he has never fought at all, you are a person who has been in battle many times, as long as you use a little strength in the process of fighting. will be able to seize military power, and when the time comes, are you still afraid that he will rush across the river and dismantle the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey?
Of course, Zhu Shuo also said, I can only help you analyze the political situation, I don't know how to fight, if we respond to Cao Chong and raise troops on the "Qingjun side", what are the chances of winning. I'm not sure about that, so you can ask someone else's opinion.
Wang Chang stood up to refute Zhu Shuo. First of all, he said: "If you start from the army, you will be defeated......
How similar is today's general situation and the banner played by Cao Chong to the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu" during Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty? But that's just superficially similar, if we really compare it carefully, we can't compare it with Wu Wang Liu Wei at all. Liu Bi has lost, let alone us?
"At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, all the great domains were also, Wu and Chu were strong, and they were all under the world; Today, the small domain, that is, the four kings of the Kanto region. It is also less than 11 in the world. Han Gao Yiyi heroes, and destroy the kings with different surnames, through Hui, Wen Zhijing, many heroes, famous generals withered, Chao wrong, Wei Qi's strategy, how is Xiao, Zhang? Yafu's bravery, not as good as his father, can also determine the rebellion of Wu and Chu; The first emperor of my dynasty also won the world immediately, although it was a death, many Cao Xiahou were there, and the strong soldiers were not old, how could we resist it? ”
This kind of rebellion is impossible to succeed at all, even if Cao Chong contacts more forces, for the Heavenly Family, it is just a scourge of ringworm.
"And the rebellion of Wu and Chu was caused by the mistake of cutting the feudal domain, and the song was in the imperial court; Today, the court has nothing to say, and what King Liyang refers to, and he has not called it...... "You said that there is a villain who bewitches the king and wants to "clear the king's side", then you mention the name of the villain, but the result is just such a general and vague statement, so who can be convinced?
Besides, "The Han Dynasty is in turmoil, the people have been fighting hard for a long time, fortunately the first emperor pulled it out, who wants to repeat the war?" The people are not attached, and the soldiers are not strong, so what can be feared? ”
Cao Pi said that I understand all the points you mentioned, so I hesitated to discuss with you - what Zhu Yancai said is not unreasonable, now Cao Chong wants to drag me on the thief ship, I will die if I obey, even if I refuse to respond, he spreads rumors everywhere, can the court really believe me? I'm afraid that the day of peace will be the time when I die. The army is impermanent and the world is unpredictable, maybe if you work hard, how much is the possibility of success?
Wang Chang shook his head and said: "The difference between five and five can be a fight, and the difference between ninety-one and ninety-one, what is the benefit of fighting, it will hurt the ears of the army and the people." The king used to be in Luoyang, and he did not lose his morality, and the ministers knew it, and those who pity the king do not know how many. The Kanto region has changed, and the court can control the chaos, only Taiwei is Hongfuer, and the Son of Heaven will summon him to return, and he is benevolent, but he will be willing to be whole. And now the Empress Dowager is the mother of the king's birth, and the Son of Heaven wants to offend the king, how can the Empress Dowager bear to abandon her? ”
Cao Pi said that so, I will wait and see, if the Son of Heaven is really recalled by Hongfu to govern, I will return to the imperial court, if Hongfu does not return...... As for Wang Jingxing and Hua Ziyu, even if Cao Zixiao and Cao Zilian, I can't believe it, so it's better to get up and take a chance.
Regardless of the kinship, Cao Pi and Shi Xun are also old friends, he has followed Cao Cao many times since he was a teenager, often dealing with Shi Xun, and when he first attacked Yecheng, he also asked Shi Xun for advice on the method of "fighting". It is Xun Na who has a dignified face, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, but at the same time he is not an old bureaucrat like Hua Xin and Wang Lang who are accustomed to steering the rudder, Cao Pi believes that it is Xun who protects his mind and is much more reliable than Hua and the royal generation.
As for the Cao Xiahou, all of them are martial artists, they lack experience in governance, and they do not have prestige among bureaucrats and doctors—prestige in the army is another matter—even if they want to protect themselves, they are afraid that they will be powerless.
So it's still Xun the most reliable.
He took the initiative to ignore his own uncle Cao De...... Cao Quji's "small transparent" attribute exploded again......
So on the one hand, he perfunctory Cao Chong, and on the other hand, he secretly probed the situation in Luoyang. Not long after, sure enough, news came back, saying that the Son of Heaven had summoned Hongfu and ordered him to be the Zhongshu Order. Cao Pi summoned his henchmen again to discuss, Wang Chang said What are you still hesitating about, didn't we say it's okay, once it is Taiwei back, he will return to the court immediately - you should immediately pack up and rush to Luoyang to go to the funeral, and you must think of a reason for being late in advance......
Cao Pi pondered for a long time, and it was difficult to make a decision. Zhu Shuo gave another idea: "The minister has a plan, or he can make the king dangerous and safe, but he is afraid of harming the king's flesh and blood, so he doesn't dare to say it......" Wang Chang heard this, suddenly woke up, couldn't help but point at Zhu Shuo, and scolded angrily: "This plan is very poisonous, it is not for the ministers to say, nor for the king!" Stay with you! ”
Cao Pi said what kind of dumb riddle you are playing - he was originally a very smart person, but after all, he was in the game, and he cared about it, so he couldn't react for a while-Yan has a plan, just say it, I will definitely not blame you. Turning his head and snorting at Wang Chang again: "Lonely and dead, but you can live for the whole life, why can't you hear about it?" ”
Wang Chang sighed lightly: "I don't want to hear it, the king forgives his sins." "Stand up and leave without looking back.
When Wang Chang left the house, Zhu Shuo whispered to Cao Pi: "The former Liyang King envoy came, Yun Bei sent people to say Juancheng, Rencheng, Rencheng King is still young, but it doesn't matter, Juancheng King will secretly look at the king's will to determine the strategy...... "Cao Zhi must be staring at you now, if you are willing to get on the thief ship, he will take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, if you refuse to obey Cao Chong, the chance of rebellion is even slimmer, he will inevitably shrink......
"The king can pretend to be the king of Liyang, and pretend to prepare for the army, then the king of Juancheng will also rebel. Waiting for the opposite, the king can secretly go to Chang'an to apologize, and the cloud is afraid that the Liyang army will attack, so he has to recruit troops to defend the city, so that he will return to Chi Er. If the chaos is peaceful, Juancheng will be beheaded from rebelliousness, and if the empress dowager loses a son, the king will be safe......"
You first trick Cao Zhi into the thief ship, and then go to Luoyang to mourn, and after the chaos is settled, Cao Zhi will definitely die. The Empress Dowager Bian gave birth to a total of four of your sons, Cao Xiong died early, Cao Zhang died first, and when Cao Zhi dies again, she will only have you a biological one, can you not fight hard to protect you?
When Cao Pi heard this, he couldn't help crying: "In this way, it was me who killed Zijian...... and I finished crying, and said okay, let's just do it."
So he followed the plan, and finally Cao Pi drove lightly, secretly left Anfeng, traveled day and night, and arrived in Luoyang before Cao Cao's burial. After he entered the city, he first ran to the Xunfu and reported the secret to Xun, but he was shocked by Xun, and said that Zihuan Ru has returned to Luo, but there is no objection - but if you don't go to see the Son of Heaven, come to worship me first, what is the purpose?
So I wrote a leave note, signed and approved it, and went home just in the afternoon. When he saw Cao Pi, Cao Zihuan fell to the ground and cried loudly, and pulled Shixun's clothes, begging: "Uncle-in-law save me!" ”
Shi Xun hurriedly pulled Cao Pi up and asked him, "Why is the king like this?" ”
Cao Pi said, Cao Chong sent people to incite me to rebel, I was going to kill the envoy, but I was afraid that Cao Chong would take the opportunity to attack my Anfeng Kingdom - you must know that our two countries are in Luzhou, and the distance is not very far, and Cao Chong's preparations for rebellion revealed by the envoy seem to be quite sufficient, and I can't help but be afraid. As a prince, if you lose a country, it is a serious crime according to the law of the country - at least you have to cut the knighthood by one level. So I was confused for a while, first succumbed to the snake, and at the same time recruited soldiers and horses to help defend the city, and when everything was ready to stop, I dared to return to Luoyang to mourn.
However, on the way, I heard that Cao Chong spread rumors everywhere, saying that I had rebelled with him, and that he supported me as the commander, but in fact I was the general leader of the rebellion...... I'm so full of filth that I can't wash it away even if I jump into the Yellow River! In desperation, I had to go to Luoyang and come to my sister-in-law first-"My sister-in-law loves me, he can't bear to give up, and he is wise, he will be able to save me!" ”
Shi Xun's heart turned slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer and asked, "If it's as the king said, why don't you send an envoy to change?" Today, there is no play, there is no head rat at both ends, and the situation is secret? "Since you have seen the envoy sent by Cao Chong, even if you don't dare to tear your face with him for a while, then you should secretly send someone to Luoyang to report first. In fact, you were waiting and watching, preparing for rebellion in advance, until you saw that the situation was unfavorable, so you hurriedly got off the thief ship and came to apologize and beg for mercy, right?
Little one, you still want to fool me?! (To be continued.) )
