Chapter 16: Post-Historical Foresight
The imperial physician Ling Yoshimoto, in the romance, is set as "the surname Ji name is called Ping, and everyone calls him Ji Ping", saying that he conspired with Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others to assassinate Cao Cao, and secretly poisoned Cao Cao by giving him the opportunity to treat his head wind. As a result, because of the whistleblowing of Dong Cheng's slave Qin Qingtong, Cao Cao was prepared, immediately took Jiping, and took the opportunity to search and kill Dong Cheng's party. There is also a poem in the romance that praises: "The Han Dynasty has no improvement, and the medical country is peaceful." vowed to eliminate the traitorous party and sacrifice his life to repay the saint. The words of capital punishment intensified, and the tragic death was like life. Ten fingers dripping, thousands of years of admiration of different names! ”
The imperial physician ordered the rank to be a subordinate official of the Shaofu, with a rank of 600 stones, which is a small role in the officialdom, and in the romance, it is said that Ji Ping is just an ordinary imperial doctor, so no one will pay attention to it. However, it is different from Xun, he understands the original history, and in his previous life, he not only read the romance, but also read through the chronicles and related historical materials many times, especially for the deliberate fiction of the romance, which is inconsistent with history, and has done special research. So as soon as he heard the name of Gibbon, he immediately remembered - I am another big "anti-thief" by relying on this!
Jihei in the romance, although he is modeled after Yoshimoto in real history, the deeds of the two are very different. Ji Ping participated in Dong Cheng's rebellion, which was the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years) - in this timeline, it was the sixth year of Jian'an, and Dong Cheng in this timeline pretended to be a rebellion with clothes and belts, and it was also advanced, in the third year of Jian'an (197) - Ji Ben participated in the rebellion launched by Geng Ji, Jin Yi and others in Xudu in the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218).
What kind of political environment was it in the 23 years of Jian'an in the original history? At that time, Cao Cao not only established the country as a feudal domain and became the Duke of Wei, but also ascended to the throne of Wei. Build the banner of the Son of Heaven. That's really just one step away from usurping. I want to pick out an intermediate link, unless I am a fake emperor like Wang Mang...... Cao Cao set up the capital and ruling center of the kingdom in Ye County, and his son Cao Pi and others lived there, and the court of Xudu was basically empty - otherwise it would not have been Guan Yu's Northern Expedition more than a year later, and the vanguard approached Xudu, which would have shocked Cao Cao and almost moved the capital.
In the first month of this year, Shaofu Geng Ji, Si Zhi Wei Huang, and Jingzhao Jin Yi. Together with Ji Ben and his son (Ji Miao, Ji Mu) staged a coup d'état in Xudu, gathered more than 1,000 domestic servants and idle people, and attacked Wang Bi, the prime minister of the governor of Xu Shi, at night. Wang Biping and Ji Miao have always been good friends, but they didn't know that the other party was also involved in the conspiracy, so they wanted to go to Ji Miao's mansion for help. He was persuaded by his subordinates, saying, "Who does he know about today's events?" As soon as he said that he hadn't entered the door, he heard the Ji family ask: "Wang Changshi is dead?" Qing Cao's matter is imminent! "I was so scared that I turned around and ran. Anyway, wait until dawn. The king shall still be alive, and shall gradually gather the remnants. And with the assistance of Yan Kuang, the general of Yingchuan Norinong, he finally put down the rebellion.
But in the end, Wang Bi hung up because of his serious injuries. Although Wang Bi's position is not high, he is Cao Cao's first favorite minister before driving, Cao Cao was furious about this, and immediately ran to Xu Du and purged Hanchen - "At that time, the well-dressed people who sat in the door and suffered from disasters are everyone." ”
This matter is also mentioned in the romance, but because Yoshimoto (Jiping) has been used in advance, it is only said that his two sons, plus Geng Ji, Wei Huang, and Jin Yi, are called "the death festival of the five ministers of the Han thief".
In short, it was clear to Xun that this matter was clear, so when he was appointed as Guanglu Xun, Cao Cao sent Geng Ji and Geng Jixing to him as his deputy, and he was a little trembling. However, Geng Ji participated in the prime minister's curtain before, worked meticulously and diligently, and won Cao Cao's love, you don't have real evidence, it's not good to say that his heart is towards the Han family, and he will rebel in the future, so Cao Cao wants to take precautions in advance.
Later, Cao Cao feudal feudal state, Shi Xun focused on the design of the official system and electoral system of the Wei State, and completely left this ballast behind - history has been changed beyond recognition, what should have been rebelled, will it still be rebelled? That was something no one could have predicted. As for Geng Ji's stay in Xudu and his ability to step into a high position in Shaofu, which is the same as the original history, Shi Xun didn't even have time to pay attention to it, and even if he did, he wouldn't take it to heart - now the Wei officials are real, and the Han officials are all virtual, how much power do they have, and what can they do?
Moreover, in the past two years, the shape of shì has also leaned towards the Cao family - not a small good, but a big good - plus Cao Cao himself does not live in Xu Du, who dares to come to the tiger's mouth to extract teeth? Summing up the lessons of history, if we want to defeat the Quanchen group, we must achieve two important prerequisites, one is to grasp the Son of Heaven in our hands, and the other is to directly behead the Quanchen himself. There is no need to mention those ambushes and poisonous wine, Emperor Huan punished Liang Ji, and urgently sent Huangmen to order Gu Ying and Sili Lieutenant Zhang Biao to lead more than 1,000 people such as knights, tiger ben, and Yulin to surround his mansion, and Ji committed suicide.
Looking further back, the "Gaopingling Change" presided over by Sima Yi is actually quite dangerous, because Guang Feng is a queen mother, neither the Son of Heaven nor the first time to kill Cao Shuang. If Cao Zhaobo uses Huan Fan's words, "Xuchang with the Son of Heaven, and the Quartet to assist himself", then it is not yet known who killed the deer - but the pig's head three Cao Shuang himself fell first, which is a special case among the special cases.
Therefore, Geng Ji, Jin Yi and others in history were taking great risks, even if they could really defeat Wang Bi, control Xu Du, and then hold the Son of Heaven hostage, they might not be able to shake Cao Cao's foundation - the key Guan Yu was plotting to go north, and it was much closer to Xu Du than Yecheng, so they wanted to rely on Liu Bei's forces for foreign aid. And on this timeline, Cao Cao is also not in Xu Du, Geng Ji and others have not gathered many henchmen, and in the case of no feathers outside, the success rate of the uprising is pitiful, Shi Xun thinks, they are not so stupid, right? Therefore, no attention was paid to it.
However, rebellion looks at the general trend, which includes both the possibility of success and the consequences of delay. In the original history, Cao Cao had already been called the king of Wei, and he was only one step away from usurping the throne, so Geng Ji and others had to do it - wait for another two years, and when Cao Cao really usurped the throne, can we still have a chance? And on this timeline, although Cao Cao's reputation is not so high, his general trend is more complete, so Geng Ji and they don't dare to waste it anymore.
However, this voter does not have many henchmen, his ability is limited, and he really doesn't dare to fight Cao Cao, so he took advantage of Cao Cao's southern expedition and Xu Duguang left a useless Wang Bi's opportunity - in fact, there is one more Cao De, but this duke is also a second knife in the political struggle - he was forced to plot and take his life to stud. But unlike the original history, they also hope to trap Cao Ang as a hostage. Cao Cao may not be able to cast a mouse-bogey on the Han Emperor, but he is likely to be confused and misbehaved because his son was captured, and the rebel party will have a chance to succeed.
Originally, the son of King Wei in history was Cao Pi, who was much more arrogant and shrewd than his eldest brother, and Cao Cao was still in Yecheng at that time, so it was unrealistic for you to lure out a Cao Pi. And on this timeline, Geng Ji and others are offering a plan to make Liu Xie pretend to be a Zen man, Cao De, Wang Bi and others can't stop it, and maybe they can lure Cao Ang over.
This matter may lead to two consequences, one is that Cao Ang went to Xu and took this opportunity to capture him; The second is that Cao Cao has come back in person, so let's stop for the time being, and wait for another opportunity - it is also beneficial to the Son of Heaven to be able to delay Cao Cao's pacification of Jiangdong because of this.
At the beginning, the plan went quite smoothly, not only did he really bring Cao Ang here, but also secretly hijacked Xun Yu, who wanted to join Xu Jin's advice-if Xun Wenruo was raised as a banner and used his political influence, the chance of recruiting friendly troops would be greater. But I didn't expect that Shi Xun also came with Cao Ang, and he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Xudu, Xi Bu was warm and went to His Majesty and took the initiative to ask the Son of Heaven.
The one who matched Liu Xie and Geng Ji was the imperial physician Ling Yoshimoto, the original plan: Your Majesty, as long as you fake the model and release the wind of Zen Rang, we will do the other tricks and feet, and if you fail, you will not be implicated. However, it was Hongfu who had no equals in his argument, and he was afraid that after he met Liu Xie, he would make the second emperor dizzy and reveal the secrets. Especially Liu Xie himself was frightened by Shi Xun when Dong Cheng rebelled, and felt that this ordinary and gentle servant was actually more terrifying than Cao Cao - just his eyes that completely despised imperial power, Cao Cao would never have it! So as soon as he heard that it was Xun who asked for advice, Liu Xie panicked and hurriedly summoned Yoshimoto to come to discuss.
Yoshimoto couldn't make up his mind, so he hurriedly left the palace to report to Geng Ji. Geng Ji pondered, the arrow was on the string, and he had to send it, simply, let's do it in advance, then gather people, attack Wang Bi, and try to capture Cao De and Cao Ang - I heard that they are all in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they are with Wang Bi, so they are captured in one fell swoop - as for Xun, let the Son of Heaven go to perfunctory him first and leave him in the palace for the time being.
That's why it was Xun who waited in front of the palace gate for two hours before Liu Xie sent Mu En to summon him. Mu En is a regular servant, generally this kind of work of calling people and leading people is not under his control, Liu Xie is afraid of sending a small eunuch over casually, if he is threatened by Xunyi, he will leak some clues, but it is not beautiful. Zhongchang has a rank of 2,000 stones, which is one level lower than Xun, and he will never drop the chain casually.
- In fact, Mu En and other people in the palace basically did not participate in the conspiracy of Geng Ji, Yoshimoto and others, but they were often on the emperor's side, and it was impossible to say that they were unaware of such a big thing. It's Xun Duomin, if he finds some traces and refuses to be detained in the palace, I'm afraid it will have bad consequences.
But Liu Xie didn't think of three points: first, Cao Xian got a little rumor and temporarily sent Ren Shuji to hint at Shixun; The second is that Xun has infinite associations when he hears Yoshimoto's name; The most important third point is that since the Yuan brothers burned down the Qingzuomen and punished the eunuchs, the eunuchs have been born with weak legs and feet in front of the scholars - do you think the current Zhongchang is still the former Zhongchang? Is it Zhang Rang, is it Zhao Zhong? Dare to commit a crime in front of the courtiers or at least not humble or arrogant?
Mu En was originally afraid of Shixun's power, but as soon as the other party said ruthlessly, he immediately coaxed him, and put everything he should and shouldn't say together. When Xun heard it, he didn't run, Liu Xie summoned Yoshimoto first, and then summoned himself, he was sure that Yoshimoto temporarily went out of the palace to find someone else to ask him, what did they want to do? Is history going to be the ...... again? Is it staged in advance?!
Of course, Geng Ji and the others outside the palace didn't know about these things, they just planned the coup d'état in advance, and Lala gathered more than a thousand people and hurriedly went to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion. Jin Yi's inner should open the door of the house, and everyone rushed in, and there were fires in all directions - this is the red light that Xun Cai retreated to the palace gate, and he saw it from afar!
