Nine times out of ten, things are not as good as expected, those who do good may not end well, and those who accumulate evil may not be evil. Gong Sheng, who sat back and watched Xie being escorted to the court, was not happy, so he borrowed wine to kill his sorrows. In the evening, Gong Sheng invited Tai Shiyu and Gongsun Ce to introduce them to the newly acquainted Xiongnu hero Liu Yao, and the four of them got together to drink.

A plate of roast duck, two servings of triad dishes, two plates of pancakes, a paper-wrapped lamb chops, a plate of fried fungus with lotus root, a plate of home-cooked tofu, a bowl of assorted Gada soup, and a jar of Du Kang brewed by the restaurant, is enough for Gong Sheng to feast on four people.

Gongsun Ce held the wine glass in one hand and patted Gong Sheng's shoulder with the other and said: "The untying of the knot in the imperial history, the dissolution of the Yongzhou Thorn History, and the liberation of Hongnong Taishou are all all copied and beheaded. The two brothers, Sima Lun and Sima Tong, are really vicious. ”

Tai Shiyu shook his head and said: "It was Sun Xiu who made trouble in the court and sent the Xie family to prison for questioning. As he spoke, he laid his hand at the paper-wrapped lamb chops and said, "This meat is so tender." ”

Liu Yao laughed: "Without Sima Lun's full support, how could Sun Xiu be so rampant?" Did you hear that? Now the soldier Cao Shangshu Liu Hong has been transferred to General Ning Shuo and went out of Beijing to avoid trouble. ”

Tai Shiyu swallowed the mutton in his mouth and said: "These people above are all old foxes, at least Mingzhe still has the ability to protect himself." Doctor He Shao on the left is the Situ, and the doctor on the right is the Sikong, these two are ranked as the third public, and I think they are just a showpiece used to support the scene. ”

Gongsun Ce also echoed and said: "The real power is in the hands of Zhang Lin, Zhang Heng, and Sun Xiu. Sun Xiuzhong wrote the order, Zhang Lin was the general of the guard, and Zhang Heng was the left servant. ”

Gong Sheng paused his chopsticks when he heard this, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "Sun Xiu is just a traitorous villain, relying on Sima Lun to gain power, such a person can also be in the book!" ”

Liu Yao said while taking a sip of soup: "Sun Xiu is the Tongping Zhongshu Order, and the original Zhongshu Ling Chen Ling did not step down. ”

Gong Sheng smiled when he heard this: "I don't know if this Chen Zhongshu can swallow this breath, according to the usual book, there is only one person to be the order." ”

Gongsun Ce on the side said: "Chen Lie is Chen Qun's grandson. The nine-product Zhongzheng system we are implementing now is Chen Qun's handwriting. Yingchuan Xuchang Chen is the world's first-class family. In the Zhongshu platform, Sun Xiu is afraid that there will be a dragon fight with Chen Ling. ”

Gong Sheng asked, "What is the origin of this Zhang Lin and Zhang Heng?" ”

Liu Yao interjected: "I heard that Zhang Lin is the grandson of the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan, as for Zhang Heng, I don't know. He didn't listen to it while he was talking, and he was spreading Sanhe and duck meat on the pancakes, and the taste of this Yanshan roast duck was still very good.

Gongsun Ce smiled when he heard it and said, "The bandits have also developed after that. This Lin originally served as the general secretary of Zhongshu Province, and he was also the position of Zhengwupin. Now he is a Chinese scholar, a casual cavalry attendant, and a guard general. ”

Liu Yao continued to explain on the side: "Zhongshu Shilang is the third-in-command of Zhongshu Province, and he is second to Zhongshu Jian and Zhongshu Ling in Zhongshu Province. Zhang Lin took the position of the free rider and Sun Xiu in the waiter, so that Zhang Lin and Sun Xiu in the province could echo each other. Of course, Zhang Lin's most important position is General Wei, which is a key official position to control the defense of the imperial city. ”

After listening to Liu Yao's words, Gong Sheng said: "Zhongshu Province is headed by Zhongshu Supervisor, and Chen Zhun is still in the position of Zhongshu Ling, and Zhao Wang's party does not completely control Zhongshu. ”

Liu Yao said with a smile: "Everything is one step at a time, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, has just ascended to the throne, even if he grabs power, he also comes step by step, doesn't this remove Wang Rong and Wang Yanbang from power?" ”

Tai Shiyu said on the side: "Use He Shao and Liu Yu to replace Wang Rong and Zhang Hua, and press a Dazai Sima Tong on the heads of He Shao and Liu Yu, so that the court will be headed by Dazai Sima Tong, so that He Shao and Liu Wei will not have the final say." The personnel arrangements of Zhao Wang's party are in an orderly manner, and Sun Xiu, a certain master, is not an unscrupulous person. ”

Gongsun Ce smiled and said, "How can someone who can coup a coup be incompetent? As he spoke, he took a spoonful of tofu with a spoon and took a sip, then he licked his lips and continued: "If you want to say that since Sima Lun entered Beijing, isn't he the one who can best slap the Jia family in the Manchu Dynasty?" He, King Sima Lun, King Zhao, Sima Xuan, the ninth son, Sima Zhao's generation, and Jia Nanfeng's grandfather are willing to be cheeky to curry favor with Jia Nanfeng, isn't it just in the middle? ”

Tai Shiyu bowed his head again: "And Sima Lun waited until Jia Nanfeng poisoned the prince before he did it." Thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid that King Zhao borrowed a knife to kill people. You see that Lu He, Shiyi, and Xu Chao in the forbidden army generals who mutinied this time are all the original prince's party, if Jia Nanfeng doesn't kill the prince, why does Sima Lun accept these subordinates? ”

Gongsun Ce slapped the table and said, "Makes sense! Sima Lun first instigated Jia Nanfeng to kill the prince, and used the hand of Jia Nanfeng's poisonous woman to eliminate future troubles, and then took advantage of Jia Nanfeng's killing of the prince to launch a mutiny and take the original prince's party for his own use. Jia Nanfeng's poisonous woman was sold by Sima Lun, and she was still helping him count the money. Now Lu He is the general of the former army, Shiyi is the general of the right army, and Xu Chao is the general of the rear army, and these princelings have become Sima Lun's henchmen who control the Su Guard. ”

Liu Yao took the next sentence: "Shangshu Province has also changed people, Shangshu Ling was taken over by the former Sili Lieutenant Manfen, and Zhang Heng, the coup hero of Zhao Wangyi's party, only got a Shangshu left servant, which is equivalent to Sima Lun handing over Shangshu Province to Man Fen." ”

Hearing this, Gong Sheng asked, "Man Fen is Sima Lun's party?" ”

Liu Yao shook his head: "It's hard to say." At the beginning, it was a loyal dog that this Manji was subordinate to Jia Nanfeng. Now is the time for Zhao Wang and his party to employ people, it may just be that Man Fen once again plays the role of a loyal dog and stands in the queue relatively quickly. ”

Gong Sheng said: "I have heard from my colleagues that Zhang Heng failed to take Shangshu Province that night, Shangshu Right Chengjing Master publicly wrote against King Zhao, Zhang Heng still relied on Sima Wei's reinforcements to settle Shangshu Province, and he almost ruined King Zhao's major affairs." ”

"In other words, this Zhang Servant Shot can't control the situation of Shangshutai," Gongsun Ce took over and continued: "Then there's nothing wrong with giving him a Shangshu Left Servant." According to Ying Long, if it weren't for Zhang Heng's own incompetence, Shang Shuling should be in his pocket. But he couldn't withstand pressure and subdue Shangshu Province, so what is there to say? Didn't you give him a yellow door concurrently? That's not bad. ”

Gong Sheng couldn't figure out the difference between Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, so he asked: "Zhongshu and Menxia provinces are both responsible for the edict, what is the difference?" Didn't the emperor write the edict himself? ”

Tai Shiyu shook his head with a smile and replied: "The edict of Zhongshu Province is drafted, and the Ministry of Menxia is reviewed, and the edict can only be issued if the two provinces reach an agreement." Sounds like a lot of work, right? I do know a little bit about it. ”

"Originally, the emperor had the final say in the edicts, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Xian was only Cao Cao's puppet, so Cao Cao set up a secretary to supervise the edicts. The role of this secretary was to overthrow the emperor so that Cao Cao could control the imperial court. Later, the secretary changed its name to Zhongshu Province, which is the origin of Zhongshu Province. ”

Later, Cao Pi established the Wei state, and in order to reward the credit for the long-term monitoring of the Liu family for the Cao family, the Zhongshu Province, the institution responsible for the edict, was retained. When Cao Rui, the third generation head of the Cao family, died, an incident occurred, and the two governors of Zhongshu Province, Zhongshu Jian Liu Fang and Zhongshu Ling Sun Zi, had a good relationship with Sima Xuanwang, the Taizu of this dynasty, so they conspired to tamper with Cao Ruituogu's edict. ”

"You all know what happened later, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi were entrusted to be orphans at the same time. If there was no such edict, there would be no later Gao Pingling. After Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang, he continued to use Zhongshu Province to control the Wei Imperial Edict, but he also set up a subordinate province to be responsible for reviewing the edict. The so-called audit is to prevent someone from playing another scene to coerce the lord to revise the edict. ”

"This is also the reason why Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, and his party must install people in the two provinces under the Zhongshu Gate." After speaking, Tai Shiyu shook the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, then sighed, revealing a happy look.

Gong Sheng sighed after hearing this: "I can't imagine that there are these allusions, who can predict the changes in the world?" I thought that I would not have the credit of capturing Jia Nanfeng... Then let me be Bi Ma Wen, and it would be okay to be Bi Ma Wen, but what I didn't expect was that I even lost the errand of raising horses by Bi Ma Wen. ”

Liu Yao also held grievances for Gong Sheng: "I have made so many contributions to the Sima family, but I didn't end up with one, this Sima family is really too mean and unkind." Then he sighed, "In any case, you still have merit to stand up, and I can only watch from a distance and not blasphemous." Because I'm a Huns. Ha ha. ”

Tai Shiyu laughed, he smiled: "How many heroes are buried in this world? Then he pointed at Liu Yao and said, "Let's just say that your father-in-law Liu Yuan was famous in Luoyang, and Wu didn't let him go, saying that Liu Yuan was used to kill Wu, then Wu was not Jin." Pingding Liangzhou tree function did not let him go, saying that it was to use Liu Yuan to level Liangzhou, then Liangzhou was not Jin. Is there such a thing? I'm not wrong, right? ”

Gong Sheng was surprised when he heard this, thinking that Liu Yongming's father-in-law still had such a reputation. Hearing Liu Yao nod and say: "That's true, I almost gave my life for this matter, and it was thanks to my friend Wang Hun who was thoughtful that he was able to avoid death." Since then, the father-in-law no longer cares about the affairs of the court, and now he is just a rich idler in Luoyang. ”

"If you learn a dragon slaying technique, where can you sell it to the emperor's family?" Tai Shiyu laughed, and he raised his glass: "Dry!" So the four of them drank endlessly, and gradually let go of the wreckage, only to listen to the ups and downs of singing and chanting - "I have a sword to ask the king to try, and I will not swear to kill demons", "But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death"。。。。。。 The four young men drank the admonitions, and the wild words blew out with the night wind, and the turbid aroma of wine carried the undisguised scorching heat for the meritorious service.
