Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Battle of Han and Wei (1)
The father turned to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, you and my brothers are one and the same, I won't say anything, do it!" ”
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Big brother! Dry! ”
The third uncle has been by his father's side all his life, and regards his father as a king, brother, and father, and that kind of feeling is something that no one else can replace.
Putting down the wine glass, my father looked at the third uncle and sighed: "Yide, your hair is also gray, how can I not be old." However, I am also content, more than 20 emperors of the Han Dynasty, I am the fourth to live past the age of 60, content. Now, it's up to the kids. ”
As for my father's words, we were at a loss. Half-ringing, the third uncle said: "Big brother, what's wrong with you today, don't drink well,
Say this frustrating thing! ”
The father smiled: "Okay, okay, don't be discouraged, let's talk about something happy." Adou is also older now, third brother, are you ready? ”
The third uncle was stunned: "What? ”
Kong Ming raised his glass to the third uncle: "What are the three generals pretending to be stupid, who did you bring to Chang'an this time?" ”
The third uncle laughed and said: "Alas, big brother, what else is there to prepare here, it is already booked, the matter of kissing and kissing, how the eldest brother commands, what the younger brother should do." ”
It dawned on me that what they were talking about was my marriage. I couldn't help but feel a warm heartbeat. I said, even if I have meritorious service on patrol again, it is not worthy of my father's banquet for me, but it turns out that it is for this.
Father said: "Marrying the crown princess is a state affair, although Ji Han has created a lot of waste, and he can't come up with much money for a while, but I will never wronged my daughter-in-law." ”
Kong Ming quipped: "Looking at the appearance of the three generals, they are already smiling from ear to ear." When the minister comes to ask for an edict on this matter, it will be done in a beautiful and decent manner. ”
The father nodded, and for a moment the three of them discussed the details, and then talked about the interesting stories of their youth, and each laughed. I, the protagonist of marriage, can't insert half a sentence. However, the matter of getting married is the order of my parents, and I know this rule, so I don't take it to heart. For a while, I thought of Xu Ling'er and the unknown Guo woman, but later, Sun Shangxiang's shadow appeared in front of me again.
I shook my head and poured a glass of wine.
"Adou?" My father called me suddenly.
"Father." I knelt down for a long time, fearing that my father's displeasure would be caused by the omission of his expression when he had just thought about something.
Fortunately, my father didn't say anything about it: "How do you feel about going on patrol on behalf of your father this time?" ”
"Back to his father's words, the son of the emperor went on patrol on behalf of his father this time, and he has gained a lot of knowledge, and he also knows the difficulty of his father and the emperor to control the heroes and create a foundation. It's just that he can be shallow with his own shame, and he can't share more worries for his father. These words have been thought of a long time ago, and they will be answered smoothly naturally.
When my father heard this, he nodded and smiled: "Father and son, although you have the routine of answering correctly in the court, I believe that your words are sincere." For the father, the creation is ruthless, the creation is impermanent, and the father can't escape this trick. I just hope that this foundation will be made stronger and more solid as soon as possible, and then passed on to you, and I will close my eyes that day, and I will be relieved. Alas, for you, for Ji Han, even if Qin Mi scolds me, what then? When it is so difficult, I will manage it tighter, stricter, and when Adou succeeds to the throne, it will be lenient or strict, and it will be possible to grace from above, depending on the time, strict is my law, and it is easy to love the people and protect the people, and you can advance and retreat freely. If I recuperate at this time, first, the national strength is difficult to stop Cao Pi and Sun Quan, and second, if I go, how can Adou Ke pick up this mess. As he spoke, he turned his head to the third uncle Zhang Fei: "Yide, do you say this is the reason?" ”
The third uncle was moved and said: "I thought that the eldest brother's temperament had changed a little, because of his poor health and illness, I never thought that the eldest brother had such a deep meaning." This is really Ji Han's blessing, Adou's blessing, and Xingcai's blessing! ”
Kong Ming seemed to know the intention of his father's move, and his expression did not change, but he smiled and said: "Third general, why did you even say the blessings of Xingcai, if you want to say it, it should be me, the matchmaker." Look at you, a courtier, is not like a courtier, and your father-in-law is not like your father-in-law. Forget it, I'll go to your house in two days and treat me to a good meal. ”
The third uncle laughed: "You are a distinguished guest that I can't invite." I wanted to drink with you a long time ago, but you always said that you wouldn't drink anything on the grounds of official business, this time your disciple married my daughter, but it won't work if you don't drink! ”
Kong Ming smiled: "That's nature. ”
Three days later, his father's decree came to Zhang's mansion: "...... Hereby, the daughter of the commander of the chariot cavalry general and the commander of the school Yizhou Mu, dignified and virtuous, was crowned as the crown princess...... "On the day when the will arrived, the Dingli of the East Palace was also delivered, but it was only ten horses of Shu brocade, one hundred taels of silver and some utensils, three animals, cakes and the like. I don't want to be big, and this is not the time to pay attention. Sir jokes with me, your ceremony is too simple, beware of the bride's dissatisfaction. I said that when I am the crown princess, she should be prepared for this. The gentleman said no more, and went out with a feather fan.
Three books and six ceremonies, the text is set to be determined, please choose a date, more than a month, this date is decided, I will get married on June 16.
Just as I was preparing, two little things happened.
First, Xu Linger ran away from the third uncle's house and left a book saying that she was going to find Jiang Wei. This made the third uncle shake his head and sigh while being surprised and embarrassed. Jiang Wei couldn't participate in this big wedding, there were many affairs in the side plug, he was ambushing a tribe, and it was time for him to be critical. Xu Linger said in the letter that she would come back after finding Jiang Wei and attend Xingcai's wedding without mistake. She had never seen a girl with such a personality, and it was no wonder that her grandfather would kick her out of the house. However, her vision is really accurate.
The second is that Xiao Wang Jun came from Yizhou. He was originally ordered to follow the third uncle. When the third uncle came to Chang'an, it was divided into two batches, and Wang Jun arrived in the second batch with the third uncle's family. He was naturally very happy to see me, talking and laughing. Then he whispered to me that he liked a girl and asked me to fulfill it. I asked him what kind of girl he was so tempted about. He said that the girl's name is Zhang Xingyi. I laughed out loud, then stammered, "Are you talking about Xingcai's sister?" Wang Jun nodded affirmatively: "Yes." "I felt dizzy, as if I had been offended by something. In history, the Zhang sisters are all my wives, one is the main palace and the other is the concubine. But I didn't expect that Wang Jun went to the third uncle's house for a few days, and he actually fell in love with one of my future wives. I shouldn't have agreed, but ...... "But, with your current status, it seems that it is difficult to get the third uncle to agree." "My identity!" Wang Jun was annoyed, "My family is also a generational hairpin, if you hadn't robbed me, how could I be a prince and grandson now, and I will be the first." Now not only have I left my family and business to be a waiter for you and do things for you, but you still have to say my identity? Let me tell you, I, Wang Jun, am not incompetent, and there is no one worse than others in terms of marching and governing the country. Do you help or not, just say a word, why bother to say anything? Do you value the door? "I was speechless when Wang Jun said. It's true that I can't live with Wang Jun, and Wang Jun lives in the third uncle's house, and it is extremely normal to fall in love with his daughter. Forget it, let everything be, anyway, I didn't even marry my sister, where can I care about my sister's business. I agreed at the moment to let Wang Jun and Zhuge Qiao go out together.
When dealing with all kinds of small things, Kong Ming and I used this time to do a big thing--to Cao Wei.
Except for being a big media for me, Mr. Kong Ming rarely participates in my family's family affairs. Including when Liu Shengzhi was there, he rarely said anything. I don't know how much he knows about Liu Shengzhi or the tranquilizer, but one thing is for sure, these things have not been hidden from him. But he never mentioned it. This is his mastery, and it is also his self-love. In his heart, my father and I and Ji Han are one, and it is difficult to distinguish the weight. But when it comes to business, he will help me wholeheartedly.
Kong Ming calculated that there would be a solar eclipse on May 29. In ancient times, solar eclipses were seen as a kind of warning from the heavens to the emperor, and it was believed that the lack of political virtue caused the dissatisfaction of the heavens. Whenever this happens, the emperor has to examine what he has done wrong. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, whenever this time comes, the DPRK no longer impeaches the nuclear emperor, but impeaches the prime minister and the three dukes. Therefore, people say that the three princes at this time are just reserved personnel, and they are empty on a high shelf, and they don't know when the grasshoppers or the water in the field will come down and replace them with others.
And Cao Wei's Taiwei at this time was the most famous old fox in the Three Kingdoms, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. He was originally a Wuwei person, with a strange plan, great courage, complex experience, and deep ambition. There may be all kinds of things in his quality that are difficult for others to achieve, but in terms of objective effects, he cannot escape the blame for the chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He helped Li Dao and Guo Yan break Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, punished Lu Bu, and handed over the dignified Han court to the hands of two scoundrel military sticks. In the Sanfu area of hundreds of thousands of households, after Li Dao and Guo Yan's troops and looting, in just two years, the people have 'cannibalized a little', and the corpses are all over Chang'an. Although this may not have been his own intention, it was caused by him. Because of this, I was extremely disgusted with him. But can a single solar eclipse remove him from power? I don't believe it.
Kong Ming said with a smile: "Young Master thinks that the existing people of Cao Wei are our opponents?" ”
I thought about it for a while and said, "Cao Wei has many talents, and he is as strong as a cloud. If you say that you are outstanding, at this time Cao Cao's subordinates Guo Jia and Er Xun are deceased, and only Jia Xu remains. Although this person has been in-depth and simple in recent years, he really has a lot of power in front of Cao Pi. In addition, when the four friends (Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Wu Zhen, Zhu Shuo) and the four congs (Xiahou Xuan, Zhuge Dan, Deng Yang, Xuan Chou) are all people, Sima Yi's wisdom is far higher than the rest of the people, and he can be his opponent. ”
Kong Ming nodded and said, "Yes, this plan will deal with Jia Yi and Sima Yi." ”
I can't help but sigh, if Mr. doesn't make a move, he won't make a move, and when he makes a move, he will actually have one against two, but who are Jia Wenhe and Sima Zhongda? Those are all characters with ten steps, how can they be easily fooled?
"Sir, the wisdom of these two is not trivial."
Kong Ming said: "It is precisely because their wisdom is extraordinary that we have to deal with them first." Jia Xu is wise, every time he thinks about it, Liang is also frightened and heartbeat, if it is not for his age, the two armies are facing each other, and Liang is not completely sure to defeat him.
Sima Yi, who was born in a wealthy family, can make good decisions. To give a few examples, you can know how powerful he is. A few years ago, he pointed out that Hu Xiu, the assassin of Jingzhou, was rude, and Nanxiang was too arrogant and arrogant, so they should not be stationed at the border, and Cao Cao did not pay attention to it. Later, when General Guan besieged Fancheng, these two people really surrendered. Later, Cao Cao wanted to move the Han capital to Xuchang to avoid General Guan's edge, but he was dissuaded again. Cao Cao died last year, the government and the opposition were in danger, and Sima Yi managed the funeral, both inside and outside. Cao Pi ascended the throne, Sima Yi was named the Marquis of Hejin Pavilion, and became the prime minister for a long time. At that time, Sun Quan led the army to the west, and due to the careful agitation of our army, Cao Wei used Sun Quan to take Xiangfan. The courtiers believed that Fancheng and Xiangyang lacked food and could not resist the Wu army, and asked to summon the guard general Cao Ren back to Wancheng. Sima Yi thought that Sun Quanxin broke the pass general, and for the time being, he only wanted to protect himself and did not dare to attack, so he should not give up the second city, Cao Pi did not follow his words, and ordered Cao Ren to set fire to the second city. Later, Sun Quan really did not invade, and Cao Pi regretted it. This person's wisdom is so high, and he is really the enemy of Liangping. ”
At this point, Kong Ming stopped talking, but calmed down, looking thoughtfully at a green bamboo outside the window.
I pondered these two men and how I wanted to deal with them from my point of view.
In addition to his intelligence, another difficulty is that these two people are Cao Pi's hearts, and even if they succeed in deceiving them, it is difficult to get rid of them lightly. The best result is to make them not get along, let them fight each other, so that they can't concentrate on the outside world, and attack Ji Han. It's hard to do that. I want to think about it and take advantage of the solar eclipse on May 29. When the time comes, in the middle of the Cao Wei Dynasty, someone will impeach the Taiwei. Until then, we add a fire and let them burn.
First, let this impeachment have an impact. Cao Pi is also a person with a superb natural posture, with his heart, he will never care about the solar eclipse, let alone really touch Tai Jia Xu even the slightest bit because of the solar eclipse - and even he will use this incident as an introduction to clean up the atmosphere and buy people's hearts. Therefore, we must find a way to make this impeachment lead from heaven to earth, from the ethereal destiny to the deliberate artificiality. Even if Cao Pi can't be convinced, he must let Jia Xu believe that it is Sima Yi who is peeping into his power. ”
I listened, secretly admiring Kong Ming's wisdom. In history, it is true that Qin Tianjian impeached the Taiwei. At that time, Cao Pi said, "If there are natural disasters and strange phenomena, it is that God is blaming the monarch, if the fault is attributed to the ministers who assist the government, is it in line with the original intention of Xia Yu and Shang Tang to be more than themselves?" Officials at all levels are hereby ordered to perform their duties. In the future, if there is a disaster in heaven and earth, do not impeach the Three Princes again. These words are very much the essence of Cao Cao's employment.
Kong Ming continued: "Second, how to link this impeachment with Sima Yi. This matter is more difficult, the most difficult thing is the heat, if it is clear, Jia Xu and the others can see at a glance that it is a plan to divide the world, and a strategy to blame the trouble. If it's dark, it's difficult, even if it's dark, with Jia Xu and Sima Zhicai, you can find clues, but I'm afraid it's still not easy. Is it better if everything looks like an ordinary event that is beyond suspicion? ”
Listening to Kong Ming's guidance, I had already thrown away the original rough idea of making rumors, and along his train of thought, I gradually had a plan in my heart: "Sir, if there is an impeachment letter in Hanoi that comes to Luoyang, as long as it arrives, even if his author has nothing to do with Sima Yi, I think it will trigger the old fox's mind." ”
The gentleman laughed and patted me on the head: "The son can be taught." ”
It was a habit when he taught me things, but as I got older, I rarely did it again. At this time, he forgot for a moment, but inadvertently made this familiar action. I was both stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help but recall the past.
I thought about it for a while, and said to Mr.: "In Weinan, I saw that Liu Bao's matter has been reported to my father and Mr. He, and at this time I still have Liu Bao's ancestral helmet in my hand. ”
"Great," said the gentleman, "our plan is half the battle. Hanoi is located in the north of the Tiger Prison, close to Hedong and Bingzhou, where the Hu and Han are mixed, and there are many officials who have Xiongnu blood. No one else knows about our secret contact with Liu Bao. It should be no problem to use this helmet to ambush one or two people who send them to the fold. And with this incident, the Huns were completely tied to our chariots. ”
I shook my head: "It's a good plan, but I can't live with Liu Bao." ”
The gentleman said: "Your Highness has the kindness of Xianggong." ”
I smiled: "If it were Xianggong, I wouldn't discuss this matter with my husband here." ”
