Chapter 24: Continuing the Han Chronicle
Cao Cao was most criticized by later generations for several things, including the eradication of Queen Fu. According to the history books, Cao Cao first forged the policy text, saying: "The queen's longevity has to be humble, ascend to the top of the dignity, and be in the pepper room, and the second era is in the z." There is no responsibility, the beauty of Huiyin, and the blessing of self-cultivation, and jealousy, harboring evil intentions, Fu can inherit the mandate of heaven and serve the ancestors. Today, the imperial historian Xi is worried about holding the edict of the festival, and the queen has a scarf on it, retreats to the middle palace, and moves to the ...... of the other museum" and then sent Shangshu to order Hua Xin to lead troops into the palace to search for the ambush.
Queen Fu was so frightened that she hid, but she was searched by Hua Xin and dragged out. At that time, Liu Xie was sitting opposite Xi Wei, and after he fell down, his hair was scattered and his feet were barefoot, so he was taken in front of him, crying goodbye and saying, "Can't you live again?" Liu Xie replied: "I don't know when my life is!" "You still want to live? I don't even know how long I'll live!
After finishing it, Liu Xie asked Xi Yu again: "Gong Xi, would the world rather be yes?" "Have you ever heard of such a thing? Arrest the empress in front of the emperor and drag her out of the palace?
He was immediately imprisoned in the palace dye room (violent room), and soon died - whether he died of grief or was killed by Cao Cao, no one knows.
In fact, this is not because Cao Cao abolished a queen and killed a woman, nor did he subsequently exterminate the Fu family, but because this move completely trampled the imperial power under his feet. So how long can Cao Cao's "Hanchen" disguise be worn? If he dies two years late, whether he will directly usurp the throne is really something that no one can say. Can Cao Cao not be left stinking for 10,000 years?
- But it's hard to say, Sima Yi has also been Wei Chen all his life, and he killed Cao Shuang's brothers. Didn't do anything to the royal family. Later, his reputation was also unbearable......
On this timeline though. It seems that the situation is different, one is that Cao Cao discovered Fu Shi's dissatisfaction in advance (as far as the current point of view, Cheng Dù of the conspiracy is not yet reached), and the other is that he played a trick and asked Lu Hong to attack Fu Shi after he led his army out of Xudu and even passed Guò to Luoyang, and planned to do something to clear up.
Maybe it's because the days of the ministers are not long enough. The arrogance is not yet blazing enough, and Cao Cao wants to keep some face.
It's just that the matter is taken care of by Lu Hong, but Lu Hong can't do it alone - the school affairs are mainly reconnaissance agencies, and there is not enough action, at most, he will go to Shuozhou to arrest a county magistrate or something, and he really doesn't dare to break into the palace directly to abolish the queen. So what Cao Cao means, after I leave, you will show the letter to Cao Ang and ask him to preside over this clean-up operation.
However, Lu Hong went to Cao Ang, but Cao Ang categorically vetoed it: "The mother of the country was abolished because of a few words." Is there a reason in the world? You want to trap my father and son in injustice?! Lu Hong quickly explained, saying that this was not what I meant. I'm going to do an investigation, and the decision is made by the prime minister himself. Cao Ang still shook his head: "This matter is absolutely not feasible, and when my father returns, I will ask for my own order!" "When Daddy comes back, I'll go and talk to him again, and you must not act rashly!
Lu Hong knew that if this matter really dragged on, Fu Shi might really make some inappropriate moves while Cao Cao was not in Xudu, and when something happened, Cao Cao would scold Cao Ang at most, but he would definitely put all the blame on himself. And even if nothing happens, Cao Cao's task under Cao Cao's care cannot be successfully completed, and there will definitely be no good fruit to eat afterwards. Therefore, he thought about it and finally took advantage of the night to secretly come to Shixun to get an idea.
It was Xun who asked him first: "Can you know that Cao will go to the disease?" "You can't make sense with Cao Ang, so have you ever said hello to Cao De? Lu Hong shook his head and finished answering: "But what I am afraid to say, I am also the same as Gongzi." "With Cao De's usual temperament, he may not be able to make this decision, so it's better not to let him know at all.
Shi Xun couldn't help but twist his beard and groaned - should he interfere in this matter? If Cao Lao Er learns about this, he must be ruthless, maybe he will go more than Cao Cao in history. Cao Ang and Cao De are not the kind of people who dare to trample on the imperial power, they are unwilling to do it...... Or to be more precise, it is reasonable to refuse to do it yourself, so Lu Cifan, do you think I can do this?
Lu Hong shook to the ground: "Hong has no way, so he has to teach Yu Guanglu." "You are Xun is different from others, and now you are a close confidant of the Cao family in Xudu, in terms of relationship, you are only ranked third below Cao Ang and Cao De, and in terms of popularity, you may still be above those two. If you want to say that this thing can really be successfully done during Cao Cao's departure from Beijing, then you have to take action, I have helped you so much, you can't die without help!
It's Xun Xin who can't say it well, he has a secret relationship with Lu Hong, and this matter is jealous of Cao Cao, and he used to think it's nothing, that's because Lu Hong is cautious and tied to himself, and he will definitely not expose himself. However, if he refuses to intervene in this matter, he will not be able to do it, and Cao Cao will blame Lu Hong afterwards, and Lu Hong may bite himself out. Take 10,000 steps back and say, today Lu Hong came to him to get an idea, he will definitely not hide Cao Cao - your son will not agree, your brother-in-law will not help, I really can't move this hand, I don't want to, I can't do anything, he will inevitably excuse himself like this when the time comes-So, what will Cao Cao think of himself?
Cao Ang is still young and lacks courage, Cao Cao can understand; Cao Dejiu is not an official in the Chinese Dynasty, and he lacks the ability to adapt, Cao Cao can also forgive; In any case, those two sons and brothers are close relatives, even if they lose Cao Cao's trust, Cao Ang may not be deposed as the son of the world, and Cao De will not lose his head. But he is different, how many in-laws have he and Cao Cao turned around, if they lose Cao Cao's trust, they may not be able to compare with Cao Xiahou and Xun's in terms of kinship, so do they still have a future?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Ci Fan wants to put me on the fire?" ”
Lu Hong asked Shi Xun to save him, and Shi Xun immediately wanted to call Guan Jing over to discuss together, but after thinking about it again, the matter is big, and the fewer people who know, the better...... But I can't do this kind of dirty work! In the original history, Hua Xin did it, which was ridiculed for ten thousand years, and Xi Xi did it, because one was Cao Cao's personal order, and he couldn't stop it, and the other was that Zheng Men was not generally powerful, and he was bent on seeking eunuchs and didn't care about the reputation of Confucianism. But on this timeline, he stands as a Confucianist, and once he dares to do this, his reputation in the future may be even more under Liu Xin, the new reckless national teacher who used to be a tiger!
Because Liu Xin hasn't killed any royals...... Well, Li Ru, who once killed Liu for Dong Zhuoyu, may be comparable to himself.
He couldn't help but wander around the room for a while, and finally waved his hand: "I can't do it." "Lu Hong said that you want to be left, I don't want you to preside over this matter, I just want you to help me get an idea, or someone else can help, or I can escape the wrath of Cao Gong in the future.
So yes Xun thought, who can he find to preside over this? According to the original history, Xi Wei is a good chess piece, but the problem is that he may not have that guts...... Or Huaxin? Although he is now a court captain, he can't mobilize any soldiers and horses. If you want to transfer troops to capture the ambush who is the ruling Jinwu, and then enter the palace to search for the ambush, there are only two candidates in the court now, one is himself, and the other is the guard Ma Teng......
Ma Teng is not Cao Cao's party, how can he take the fire for him? Is it just do-it-yourself? But, wait......
In the original history, when Xi Xi and Hua Xin handled this matter for Cao Cao, what officials did they do? Xi Xi is still the imperial doctor, this is not running, nominally the prime minister's deputy, so Cao Cao handed over the task to him, which is normal, but now without Cao Cao's clear instructions, he may not dare to do it. Hua Ziyu, that is the only time to replace Xun Yu as Shang Shuling......
Arresting the queen is not something I can arrest if I want to, rashly leading troops into the palace is equivalent to a coup d'état, this must be an edict from the book! But how could Xun Yu be willing to make this edict for Cao Cao? Ah, how did I forget that guy, if Xun Wen is still here, can Ande do this? Even if Cao Cao or Cao Ang gave him an order, he might not do it, not to mention that one of the two men had to be cleared up, and the other would ignore it!
This is really an unsolvable situation - Lu Cifan, you found this letter of the Fu family, you must have discovered it too early, right? What a hurry are you!
If Lu Hong hadn't reported to Cao Cao, he would have taken the letter written by Fu Hou to Fu Wan to discuss with him, and he would definitely persuade him to suppress the matter first, but the annoying thing was that he had already reported to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also gave clear instructions. Anyway, Cao Cao, what do you think? You don't know such a big thing, if you don't preside over it yourself, then there is nothing to do? Or are you actually trying to test Xun's ......
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up slightly, so he turned his head to take care of Lu Hong: "The book will be handed over to me, I will plan it myself, and Cifan must not be moved lightly." "This matter is not so easy to solve, and wait for me to plan carefully - anyway, it will be very early before the prime minister returns to Xudu.
Lu Hong thanked him for his kindness, said goodbye and left, leaving Shixun to plan for the whole night, and the next day, his eyes were dark. He went to work with black circles under his eyes, and then casually found an excuse in the public office to dismiss the bureaucrats, and slept on several cases for most of the day. After getting off work, Shi Xun didn't have time to return home, so he first ordered the pilot: "Go to Xun Lingjun's mansion." ”
Xun Yu is a maniac who works overtime, until the sunset and the twilight, he finally left Shangshutai and returned to his mansion. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said that since Shixun fell to the Qian Pei Group, he and I are quite passable on face, but the contacts are becoming more and more sparse, why did he suddenly come to the door today? What's the matter? Does it have anything to do with the banquet I gave him the day before yesterday?
I couldn't figure it out, so I didn't change my court clothes, and directly met with Shixun in the main hall, and asked him face to face. Shi Xun opened his mouth and asked: "Wang Zhongxuan and his wife want to inherit Cai Bojiao's ambition to continue the "Han Ji", so that you know?" Xun Yu nodded: "I have heard a lot."
