Chapter 596: Old and Strong?
Emperor Xiaowai died, and after Hua Xin came forward to mourn, he begged for the bones of the young new emperor......
However, everyone knows that this "beggar" is not a skeleton, but that people are going to leave a useful body to return to Chu State!
The new emperor is about the same age as when Emperor Xiaoai first ascended the throne, and he is less courageous and less majestic than Emperor Xiaoai, and the government is all under Zhang Yan's control...... Well, Zhang Yan is almost all in Sima Yi's hands.
Regarding Hua Xin's disappearance for a few days, and then the appearance of Zhengda, as if he was just on a normal vacation before, Zhang Yan was helpless, but she was not embarrassed.
As for Sima Yi, he was already thinking about whether he had any deep intentions!
Is it really just because Chang'an's guards are too strict, and the Chu army has already marched into the Meridian Valley, seeing that they have to release people, so their identities are revealed?
It seems that something is not quite right, if this is the case, then why didn't you come out a few days earlier, but after Liu Xie was cool?
"Old Yang, it seems that Hua Gong came out of Shopkeeper Li's house before, what is your impression?" After Sima Yi got the news, he first consulted Yang Biao.
I don't know if I really believe that this matter has nothing to do with the Yang family, or if I pretend to be trusting, false and wronged......
"Li Kuan married a niece of the old man's concubine, and he is quite insightful in business, so he just handed over some unrelated business to him to take care of." Yang Biao said sleepily, as if he was really too old to speak.
Li Kuan is the family that Hua Xin "stayed in", and Hua Xin had also proposed that Li Kuan's family would return to Chu with him to "be a companion".
Because Zheng Jun had many eyes and ears in the city at that time, and Hua Xin suddenly appeared, he would definitely track down his hiding place afterwards, Hua Xin was afraid that even if he carefully covered it up, Li Kuan would eventually be exposed, so he simply wanted to take him away.
At this time, Li Kuan had already begun to hand over his business......
Yang Biao said "don't worry", but in fact, Li Kuan is much more important than the tone!
Indeed, Yang Biao didn't expect that Li Kuan would be rebelled by Chu Guoce before.
After all, Li Kuaneng was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and the Yang family naturally considered him.
However, whether it is from the understanding of his temperament or from the entanglement of interests, he has not found out before that he will have the opportunity to be rebelled!
In fact, Li Kuan was naturally not rebelled by interests, otherwise he would have left traces no matter what.
The state of Chu is a big dog, but whether it is the coins of Chu or the gold and silver of the state of Chu, if they want to flow into Guanzhong, they will be discovered by the imperial court if they are not careful.
After all, Liu Xie would rather not develop before, and he would have banned Chu coins and Chu goods in Guanzhong!
And the part that can flow in is also assisted by the northern scholars behind the scenes, and they can't hide it from the imperial court or the Yang family.
In reality, however...... Chu State not only did not give Li Kuan any benefits, but Li Kuan was very "fat" because of his net worth, and secretly funded some actions of the Enlightenment Department in Guanzhong.
This is not a "rebellion", but the "inspiration" of Chu Xue, which is not only impossible to discover, but even incomprehensible to Yang.
Maybe that's understandable?
It is indeed similar to "the one who is a confidant dies" and "sacrifices his life for righteousness......
It's just that in their opinion, those who have such ethics are either "scholars" or righteous people who have been bought by grace...... That is, Jing Ke and Zhuzhu.
The latter is easy to spot, while the former is the exclusive discipline of the noble "scholar".
As for a copper-smelling merchant and a flat-headed common man, he also has the idea of sacrificing his life for righteousness?
This bend is in their minds, and it has not been turned around for the time being, which is also one of the greatest conveniences of the Enlightenment Department.
"Since they are just nobodies, I believe that Zheng Hou and His Majesty will not hold on to Lord Hua and send them back to Chu State." When Sima Yi heard this, he didn't care about it, but his eyes flashed with thought.
And what Sima Yi said was that Zheng Hou and His Majesty would agree, but everyone knew that in fact, it was he Sima Yi who had already decided!
Hua Xin was not surprised, let the old servants in the house pack their luggage early, and Li Kuan's family was also watched for a short time, handed over the business in their hands to the Yang family, and then with his wife and children in ordinary linen clothes, carrying a small package, with a servant who was willing to follow, the next morning, and Hua Xin.
Because of the tension brought by Zheng Hou, even if there are any people in Beijing who are good friends with Huaxin, they dare not send each other at this time.
Originally, there would have been an army to "escort" Hua Xin away, after all, Sima Yi didn't want an accident.
However, just as he was about to go out of the city gate, suddenly a team of grassroots generals of the Zheng army surrounded Hua Xin and his party......
Li Kuan, who was protecting Hua Xin, originally wanted to drink, but Hua Xin himself looked at it calmly, and Sima Yi came over at this time.
"Is Master Sima here to see off the old man, or is it ...... Regret letting the old man go? Hua Xin looked at Sima Yi calmly.
"Hua Lao laughed, since His Majesty and Zheng Hou approved Hua Lao's farewell to his hometown, how can there be dissent in the future?" Sima Yi arched his hand as he spoke, as if he really respected Hua Xin very much, and he really just gave orders from "Your Majesty" and "Zheng Hou".
But now everyone knows that it is Sima Yi who controls Chang'an, or Guanzhong, now!
"So Master Sima is here to see him off? That's a bit of a grandeur. Hua Xin said and looked at the generals who were already in armor around him.
"No, there is no meaning in the next place, it's just ...... Is there anyone in Mr. Li's family? Sima Yi said, ignoring Hua Xin's face, and waved his hand directly.
I saw that the guards around him, Li Kuan's family, and a few servants who were willing to follow—Li Kuan had already burned everyone's deeds of sale, or more precisely, just hired workers—were all pulled out by Zheng Jun's generals at this time!
Sima Yi also looked over one by one at this time......
That's right, Sima Yi is also wondering if Hua Xin's "disappearance" before would be mixed with Liu Bei.
If it was just Hua Xin, Sima Yi would naturally not want to embarrass the Chu State because of him, but if Liu Bei was also ...... Even if Sima Yi fights to start a war with the Chu State, he must leave them behind!
Otherwise, if Liu Bei arrives in the Chu State, his situation will only be worse, which already involves Sima Yi's current core interests, and he must fight.
However, after looking around, Sima Yi found that he seemed to have guessed wrong.
"What are you looking for?" Hua Xin frowned.
"It's nothing, I'm just worried that there are people with bad intentions who are by Hua Lao's side." While Sima Yi diverted the topic, he glanced at Hua Xin's "family".
In fact, Hua Xin's family members did not go to Xudu with him before, and naturally they are not in Chang'an now.
There was only one old servant with him, and ...... It's just a singer.
"Hua Lao really values love, but he didn't forget to bring this singer." Sima Yi said tentatively.
Hua Xin glanced at him, and then said indifferently: "The human race must not be lost......
Sima Yi: ......
