Chapter 460: Talking about oneself and inciting rebellion
Zhao Shu's expectation was good, Wei Yan really reversed.
After the news of Liu Chan's death reached Chang'an, Wei Yan immediately asked Jiang Wei to come to discuss. After Jiang Wei listened quietly, he sighed: "The general has long since listened to the words of the last general, and now the disaster is not far away." Wei Yan understood that he was in danger at this time, so he asked Jiang Wei to come, but he didn't want to listen to these nonsense, but said: "Boyo doesn't have to say these useless words, and teach me how to survive this calamity." Jiang Wei shook his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty died a strange death, there is no need for the last general to say it clearly, and the general also knows the master behind it." Sima Yi's father and son disappeared, and it was all a serial plan by that person to eliminate the trouble of his henchmen. And His Majesty died in the territory under the jurisdiction of the general, and the general is afraid that he will not be able to escape the blame, not to mention that the person has always regarded the general as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, how could he easily let the general go. For today's plan, there are only five words that can be viable. Wei Yan hurriedly asked, "Which five words?" Jiang Wei rolled his eyes and said word by word: "The first strike is the strongest!" ”
Since the Han army captured Luoyang, Jiang Wei has spoken to Wei Yan more than once to persuade him to take action, but Wei Yan refused. At this moment, it seemed that there was no way out except to raise troops, Wei Yan groaned for a while, and then muttered: "I didn't expect to end up on this road." In the laughter, there is a lot of resentment, but more helplessness. For Wei Yan, he has no ambition to dominate, he only hopes to assist the Ming Lord, make meritorious achievements, and become famous through the ages, so he will endure for many years. But now that Zhao Shuding was going to put him to death, Wei Yan knew in his heart that if the two sides exchanged troops, the good situation in front of Shu Han was likely to be ruined. hated a wise man like Zhao Shu, in the face of power, he still messed up, and before the enemy was eliminated, he first caused trouble to Xiao Wall. But now Wei Yan couldn't bear it anymore, and there was no way to retreat, and after a long smile, he said coldly: "Order the generals, come to the general's mansion to discuss matters." Jiang Wei knew that Wei Yan had made up his mind, and he was mixed with joy, but he was happy that Wei Yan had finally reversed, but he was worried that Zhao Shu's power was strong now, and the number of victories and defeats was unpredictable. But since he chose this path, Jiang Wei can only work with Wei Yan in the same boat, hoping to get rid of Zhao Shu, a powerful minister, with the strength of the two, and then assist the new emperor to achieve the hegemony of recovering the Han Dynasty.
After the general order was handed down, Wei Yan's two sons and the generals under his command soon gathered together. Seeing Wei Yan's gloomy face, everyone didn't dare to speak without permission, but just stood silently on both sides and waited. Wei Yan raised his eyes and saw that everyone had arrived, so he got up and said, "This general summoned the princes to come, and there is a big announcement. You should know that Your Majesty has died, and that it is within the jurisdiction of this General. "Such a big event, all the generals have naturally heard of it, but now that Wei Yan said it himself, the atmosphere is different. Wei Yan's gaze swept coldly over everyone's faces, and he continued: "Now some people suspect that General Ben made someone assassinate His Majesty......"
"What bastard would dare to frame Daddy like that?" The eldest son, Wei Chang, had always been hot-tempered and couldn't bear it, so he scolded him, but Wei Yan glared at him fiercely, and then lowered his head and retreated. Wei Yansui sighed and said: "This general is loyal to the country, and the princes should understand that this statement is purely a false accusation. But even if General Ben has thousands of mouths, it is difficult to explain it to the people of the world. What's more, the general Zhao Shu is unpredictable and often regards me as a confidant, and he will definitely take the opportunity to get rid of me this time. It is expected that in a few days, Luoyang will send an envoy to arrest the general. Alas, all of you here are my subordinates who have followed me for many years, and I can't bear to implicate you. You can disperse and go your separate ways. So saying, he turned his back to the people.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall, and everyone whispered. Suddenly, someone said loudly: "The general's words are wrong. Everyone turned their heads to see that it was Tianshui Jiang Wei. Wei Yan also turned around again and asked, "What is Boyo's opinion?" Jiang Wei strode forward and said: "Generals, General Wei usually treats us with kindness and righteousness, but now that we are in trouble, how can we deviate lightly, if so, what kind of face will we have to live in the world in the future?" Wei Yan treats his subordinates very righteously on weekdays, and since Jiang Wei raised his head, a few people shouted: "What Boyo said is very true, we will never betray General Wei." ”
Wei Yan was originally in collusion with Jiang Wei, and when he saw someone speak, Wei Yan was overjoyed, but he still said: "You are very kind, but Zhao Shu only wants to get rid of Wei someone, why should you be implicated." Jiang Wei Nai said with a straight face: "The general is wrong. Your Majesty's mysterious death, there must be an inside story, the general is a minister of the pillars of the country, but he doesn't want to avenge His Majesty, is it the work of His Majesty? Wei Yan looked embarrassed again, and said: "I don't want to avenge Your Majesty, but that group of strongmen came and went without a trace, and they seemed to disappear into this world, but they asked people to look for it?" ”
Jiang Wei sneered a few times and said, "Does the general really think that it was done by ordinary robbers?" The last general thought that His Majesty's death must be related to the general Zhao Shu. Wei Yan's heart was bright, but he pretended to be annoyed, and shouted: "Jiang Wei, you are talking nonsense." When the other people heard Jiang Wei's words, they whispered again, and the hall seemed to be noisy again.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment." Jiang Wei looked around at everyone and continued: "This matter is very important, and it is definitely not a false word. You should know that His Majesty moved the capital, but it was Zhao Shu who invited him. And the one who went to Chengdu to escort was originally Zhao Shu's confidant Huan Yi. But Huan Yi suddenly contracted an illness in Hanzhong, and transferred Sima Yi to protect His Majesty first, all of which seemed to be coincidences, wasn't it deliberately arranged by Zhao Shu? Everyone should know in their hearts that now the power of our Han country is growing, and swallowing Wu and destroying Wei is just around the corner. Although Zhao Shu leaned towards the government and the opposition, and his ambitions were known to the world, he did not dare to usurp the throne rashly, because there were still loyal people like General Wei in the world who were loyal to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Zhao Shu deliberately made people murder His Majesty near Chang'an, and blamed General Wei for it. But Zhao Shu didn't know that this was self-defeating, making his ambitions and crimes obvious, how could everyone in the world be fools? Let him be deceived by Zhao Shu. ”
Jiang Wei's analysis of this statement is very reasonable, and there is not much deviation from the facts, but it is all speculation, without the slightest real evidence. In the face of such a big event, who would dare to speak indiscriminately? So after Jiang Wei finished speaking, no one echoed it. Wei Yan saw that the scene was deserted, so he secretly glanced at Wei Chang. Wei Chang suddenly understood, and said: "Zhao Shu is rebellious, plotting to kill His Majesty, and wants to kill my father and son." Father, there are still 30,000 elite soldiers in Chang'an City, it is better to kill Luoyang, you can avenge Your Majesty's blood revenge, and you can save the lives of the family. ”
Wei Yan's face hesitated, and he didn't have time to answer. Jiang Wei bowed down again and said: "I will wait for a long time to eat the imperial court, and I should be loyal to the country." The last general is willing to follow the general, capture Zhao Shu alive, and avenge His Majesty. Although the generals here didn't know that Wei Yan and Jiang Wei were playing double reeds, it was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, who could say "no"? They all bowed down and said, "The last general is willing to follow the general and never give up." ”
