Chapter 1004: If You Don't Die, You Won't Die
Liu Chan's face turned red with anger.
Cheng believed in the oath, saying that he would definitely be able to kill Wei Ba, and he did it seamlessly, so he would not provoke fire, so he agreed to the prime minister. As a result, the prime minister's seamless plan was a mess, the person died, the edict fell into the hands of Wei Ba, and he lost his underwear.
It's just a matter of losing, just when the prime minister came to clean up the mess, the prime minister returned to heaven.
So who's going to clean up this mess?
Liu Chan glared at Jiang Wan and the others, angry. At this time, I still dare to come and ask for a nickname. Are you fools? It is false to ask for a nickname, but it is true to ask him to take responsibility. If Zhuge Liang is given a bad name, these people will definitely not agree, but to give Zhuge Liang this good word, needless to say, is to admit that the assassination of Wei Ba was done by the Son of Heaven, and the prime minister is just an executor.
In this way, he, Liu Chan, became the main person responsible.
What made Liu Chan angry the most was the table that Zhuge Liang put on before he died.
That table analyzed Wei Ba's reaction methods in detail, and proved that Wei Ba was prepared. And being prepared in advance shows that he has already had the intention of not being subordinate. Since there is a disobedience, then of course he should be eliminated. Even if you fail this time, you can't back down, you must make persistent efforts, prepare for the worst, and unite the people around you as much as possible to maintain the last bit of the Han Dynasty.
The worst plan is to use Guanzhong as the foundation, Longyou as the backup, and Chengdu as the backup, and prepare for an all-out war with Wei Ba.
To unite the people around him, it is natural that Jiang Wan, Zhang Yi, Jiang Wei and other people from the Prime Minister's Mansion are added, and then the hussar general Wu Yi and the like.
Zhuge Liang said a word after the most reluctance. Providence is unpredictable, things are man-made, and only by persevering can we keep a little hope of the Han Dynasty. If you retreat, or fold your arms, it will be irretrievable.
As soon as he saw this testament, Liu Chan had the urge to kill. He wanted to kill all the people in front of him. But he knew that if he really wanted to do this, he would definitely die the fastest.
Don't look at Zhuge Liang dead. But Chang'an City has some strength. They are all people arranged by Zhuge Liang. He didn't win any battles when he led his troops outside, but his deployment in the imperial court was always watertight.
The main force of Chang'an was in the hands of Jiang Wei, the forbidden army was in the hands of Ma Cheng, and the other force was in the hands of the hussar general Wu Yi. These people. Is it the same heart as Zhuge Liang. Liu Chan didn't know what to do. But he knew that he was not familiar with them.
To incite them against Zhuge Liang's party is almost a dream. Especially when the main military power is in the hands of Jiang Wei.
Liu Chan was very depressed, but he didn't have no tricks at all.
"Old General Zhao Yu Zhen has the grace to save his life, he hasn't spoken yet, so you can discuss it together." Liu Chan looked weak: "As for the matter of King Jin, it is just rumors, who has evidence now?" Don't worry, wait, wait, don't make a mistake again. ”
Without waiting for Jiang Wan and the others to refute, Liu Chan stood up and ran away.
Jiang Wan and the others were dumbfounded, but they had nothing to say. Yes, Zhao Yun died in front, Zhuge Liang died in the back, Zhao Yun hasn't given a word yet, let's talk about Zhuge Liang first, it doesn't seem appropriate. Besides, there is no news from Qingzhou yet, whether Wei Ba wants to point the finger at the prime minister or the Son of Heaven, it is still uncertain, and he is in a hurry to let the Son of Heaven issue an edict, it seems that he is too anxious.
Jiang Wan and the others ended up in vain, and they went their own way.
……
Liu Chan ran to Empress Zhang's palace in one breath, and said breathlessly: "Queen, queen, something is wrong, something is wrong." ”
"What's wrong?" Empress Zhang glanced at him with a smile: "Isn't it Wei Ba's little thing." ”
"What about that?" Liu Chan glanced at Empress Zhang: "Queen, do you know what to say, so sure?" ”
"What can I be sure of?" Empress Zhang laughed: "I am a woman's family, I didn't leave home when I was a child, and after marrying you, I didn't go out of the palace, my vision is so big, and I don't have my sister Xingcai's knowledge, how can I be sure." ”
As soon as Liu Chan's eyes rolled, his accent was a little wrong. "Yes, Xingcai is married to Wei Wu, and the Zhang family and the Wei family are also relatives."
"My Zhang family and Wei Ba are relatives, yes." Empress Zhang put down the things in her hand, took Liu Chan's hand and patted it: "But don't forget." I am married to you now, and I am a member of your Liu family, that is to say, you and the Wei family are also relatives. It's just that you used to think that you were a heavenly family, and you didn't bother to marry your courtiers, so you didn't think about it that way. ”
Liu Chan shrunk his neck and sneered: "I, a heavenly family, have now fallen to the mortal world. I don't know if Wei Ba will recognize me as a relative. ”
"Don't worry, Wei Ba has great ambitions, and he won't be worse than Cao Pi. The only person who dares to kill the Son of Heaven is a reckless man like Xiang Yu. Even Xiang Yu didn't dare to do it himself, so he could only send Yingbu to be a ghost in secret. ”
Liu Chan's eyes lit up: "So, I won't die?" ”
"If you don't die, you won't die."
"What...... What do you mean? ”
Xingcai listened to what Wei Ba often said. Empress Zhang smiled: "Heaven is evil, you can still live." As long as Your Majesty keeps to himself, he can at least be a Shanyang Gong. and thou shalt not live. If Your Majesty is fooled by those people again, you can't say for sure. ”
Liu Chan scratched his head: "That...... What should I do? ”
"Be cautious in your words and deeds, and resign yourself to fate." Empress Zhang laughed: "Your Majesty, wait with peace of mind." ”
Liu Chan nodded as if he didn't understand. After a while, he stood up, turned around twice, and suddenly said: "Empress, I think you are right, it is unlikely that Wei Ba will kill me, but Jiang Wei ...... Maybe it's going to happen. I have to transfer you Yulin Qi to my side, Dong Yun is the prime minister's person, I can't let him be in charge of the Lang officials in the palace. ”
"Don't touch Dong Yun for the time being." Empress Zhang shook her head: "Let King Anping enter the palace to accompany him, let him bring the queen, just to be my companion." ”
Liu Chan nodded repeatedly. Queen Ma Wenshan is Ma Cheng's younger sister, and with her in the palace, Ma Cheng may be able to win her over. And this marriage was arranged by the prime minister, so it should not cause opposition from Dong Yun and others.
Liu Chan immediately sent someone to do it.
……
In Linzi, Wei Ba sat in the center, and Fei Yi accompanied him. Guo Li sat on the right, and Guo Xiu sat on his right.
The assassination of the envoy failed, Guo Xiu was meritorious, and Guo Li's uncle and nephew became the guests of King Jin. Guo Xiu was calm, but Guo Li was scared and uneasy, I don't know which day Wei Ba knew the truth, and his smiling face would turn into a bad face, and he would cut off their heads with a knife.
"Two, these days, there are a lot of things in the house, and I really can't spare time." Wei Ba said with a smile: "I invite you two to come today, one is to thank Guo Jun." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to sit here today. ”
Guo Xiu smiled slightly, bowed down and said, "King, Ji people have their own natural appearance, how can they be injured by a little Xiaoxiao." ”
"Hahaha, I have noble people to help. You Guo Fengxian are my nobles. Wei Ba Ha Ha Da Lu smiled and praised: "Where did you learn your Danqing technique?" I see that the face of Yang Xiong painted by you is lifelike, enough to be among the famous artists. ”
"I was in a hurry to count the strokes that day, and I couldn't do my best." Guo Xiu said with a smile: "One day, I will calmly move the pen, draw a picture with my heart, and then let the king appreciate it." ”
"Okay." Wei Ba stroked his palm and smiled: "Then I'll wait to see your Danqing magic pen, if it's really good, I will ask you to paint a portrait of my family." The father didn't fight that day, alas, ......" Wei Ba sighed: "I can't even see my face now, it's really missable." ”
Guo Xiu was overjoyed. He deliberately gave Wei Ba a portrait of Yang Xiong in order to show his Danqing skills. If he could paint a portrait of Wei Ba's family or even himself, he would have another excuse to contact Wei Ba. In this way, there are more chances of assassination.
"Dare to disobey."
Guo Li was even more worried. He could guess Guo Xiu's intentions, but he couldn't stop it. Nominally, he is the main envoy, but in the matter of assassinating Wei Ba, he is not even a deputy envoy.
"However, the portrait matter will be put aside for the time being, and let's talk about state affairs first." Wei Ba waved his hand and got back to business: "I have already told the two of you what I mean, you must also understand." Since you still want to keep Wei County as a fief, then don't hesitate any longer, the disputed places will be talked about later, Jizhou will not be said for the time being, Youzhou, Yanzhou and Merge Prefecture, you still let it out first. ”
Wei Ba paused, and said, "Especially Luoyang, you must let it out." You also know that I was named the king of Jin, Jin is in Bingzhou, you don't let out Luoyang, how can I go to Bingzhou. Jinyang is my feudal country, and I can't always let Sima Yi occupy it, otherwise I, the king of Jin, will have no face. You say, "Isn't that the truth?" ”
Guo Li and Guo Xiu glanced at each other, Guo Xiu stood up and said, "Then the king agreed to our request?" ”
"Basically, I can accept your terms. There are just some details that are still to be worked out. ”
"What kind of details?"
"It's not impossible for you to add a few more counties on the basis of the existing Wei County and keep up with King Wu. But we have different views on which counties to add. Fei Yi stood up and took over the conversation: "What the king means is that since you want to keep up with King Wu, should you give up the dangerous place?" After King Wu became a minister, he gave up Wuchang. Now you not only have to occupy Yecheng, but also occupy the main road to Huguan, which is probably not good. In order to make it easier for you to go back, the king decided that you could exchange the counties of Quang Binh or Yangping for this place, you see......"
Guo Li was still hesitating, but Guo Xiu had already nodded in agreement: "Thank you for your consideration." However, this is a little different from the original order, and we still have to ask the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother. ”
"Then without further ado, you should report to Luoyang as soon as possible." Wei Ba smiled: "I'm still waiting to go to Chang'an to repay my merits." ”
