Chapter 463: Jia Xu's words

When it came to the 'Huangmen North Temple Prison', Wang Lang, Xu You and others looked secretly tight and stopped talking.

Huangmen Beisi Prison has kept a low profile in recent years, and rarely makes a move, but every time it is shot, there is no news of the people who are taken away, even Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Liu Xie, and Wang Lang can't hear about it, let alone 'rescue'.

Everyone knows that the Huangmen North Temple Prison was moved out of the palace, and at the same time, they also understand that the real owner of the Huangmen North Temple Prison is His Majesty in the palace.

Seeing that he had suppressed these people, Xun Yu got up and said, "Disperse." ”

Zhong Yu and Xun You got up, and the three of them left through the side door.

Liu Xie and the others got up one after another, their faces were strained, and they turned around and went out from the main gate with a heavy heart.

Wang Lang, Xu You and the others were a little slower, but the people behind were unconsciously in groups of three or five, whispering.

Liu Xie turned the corner and walked towards Lantai, followed by Xi Zhicai.

Walking out of the corner, Liu Xie turned his head and looked at the courtiers who were rushing out of the palace, the corners of his eyes jumped, stopped, his eyes were full of suspicion, indifference and warning, and said: "You tell me honestly, Cao Cao really slaughtered the three cities, or was calculated, this king wants to know the inside story!" ”

Xi Zhicai bowed down, his face was respectful, and said: "Your Highness, the confessions of the lower officials and His Royal Highness, every sentence is true, and there is no falsehood. ”

"But there's something to hide!" Liu Xie said in a deep voice.

Xi Zhicai's expression did not move, and said: "Your Highness, this matter is complicated, and the people sent by the Imperial Historical Observatory have very different returns, and there is no conclusive evidence, so the lower officials dare not report it." ”

Liu Xie suddenly snorted coldly and said, "This king doesn't know what your 'Yingchuan Party' is up to, but if this king finds out that you are plotting against you, this king will kill you first!" ”

Seeing that Liu Xie was rarely angry, Xi Zhicai threatened, pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Highness rest assured, the lower officials understand." ”

Liu Xie stared at Xi Zhicai for a moment, flicked his sleeves, and strode away.

And Shang Shutai, Xun Yu is in the room, and the three giants are also discussing countermeasures.

Xun You was enraged by Kong Rong, and now he has a blue face, and said, "I look at that Kong Rong, I can't keep it!" ”

Zhong Xuan's face was serious, his eyes were blazing, and he thought about it, and said to Xun Yu: "Prime Minister, it was originally possible to deal with it in a low-key manner, but as soon as Kong Rong came out, I am afraid that the pot will explode outside the palace." ”

Kong Rong is the great Confucian in the world, and after Kong Sheng, he roared and roared in the highest conference room to the point of stripping Mingzhi, which is bound to arouse the 'common hatred of the enemy' of the government and the opposition, and the public opinion suppressed by Xun You will definitely rise even more fiercely.

Xun Yu nodded lightly and said, "It's not appropriate to delay any longer, it must be done early." ”

Zhong Xuan said: "Your Majesty doesn't return to Beijing, how can we end it?" Moreover, I have a hunch that His Majesty will protect Cao Cao. ”

As he spoke, Zhong Xuan glanced at Xun You.

Although Xun You is hiding, they are all big names today, their hands and eyes are all over the sky, Xun You can hide it for a day or two, but not for too long.

Xun You didn't explain, but said: "Cao Cao can't deal with it, at least not now." At the beginning of the 'New Deal', there must be no such big setbacks! ”

Xun Yu naturally knew this, and said: "I will go to the palace and say, Wang Lang's side, Yuan Chang, you go and tell him directly, I haven't approved the position of Cao Shangshu yet." ”

Zhong Yu looked at Xun Yu, and saw that he openly took out the unpopular means of 'threatening', and knew that he was really angry, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll say, what about Xu Yu?" He's been dancing a lot lately, and he seems to be a little careless, and he doesn't know what to rely on. ”

Xun Yu's face was expressionless, and he said: "Let someone hand him a message, the imperial court needs someone to go to Jing, Yang, and Jiaozhi to deliver the decree and ask him if he is willing." ”

Xun Yu took in Xun Yu's every move, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "I don't think you need to be so tactful, just send Luoyang." ”

Xun Yu said: "There are still many things that cannot be separated from him in the future, let him stay in Luoyang." Gongda, you will go to see Zhou Yi later, and order him to supervise the six lieutenants and suppress the rumors that have recently emerged in Luoyang City, especially the 'Golden Knife Legend', which must not reach His Majesty's ears! ”

"Okay." Xun Yu responded.

In fact, the three of them know that this kind of thing can never be hidden from the palace, but they have to do it, and such rumors must be contained!

Xun Yu thought carefully in his heart and said, "When will Your Majesty return to Beijing?" ”

Zhong Xuan looked directly at Xun You.

Xun You was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "I don't know, I only know that Your Majesty is not in Xuzhou, it should be in Yuzhou." The matter of Yuzhou may have been instructed by His Majesty, but I don't know the specific situation. ”

Even if Xun You's power is all over the world and his protégés are all over the place, he still can't find out Liu Wei's whereabouts.

Xun Yu felt pressured and was silent.

Cao Cao's matter, in the final analysis, is to be decided by the palace, they have no right to arrest, and even the investigation is only nominal, and it has not been investigated.

Cao Cao, not only the favorite general in the palace, but also the designate of the Great Sima, as the right Sima, the great hero who pacified many rebellions, Shang Shutai was already jealous of Cao Cao many times, worried that provoking Cao Cao would really force Cao Cao to rebel.

If Cao Cao rebelled, he would not be comparable to Qiao Mao, Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo and the like, with his ability, he would be able to turn the Han upside down.

The great situation that the palace has painstakingly created for many years has turned into nothingness in an instant!

"Let's do it first." Thinking about it, Xun Yu still said hastily.

Zhong Yu sighed in his heart, knowing Xun Yu's embarrassment, and said: "King Chen Liuwang is also deliberately evading, Yanzhou is vague, Prime Minister, I'm worried that Cao Cao may really have done something in Yanzhou." ”

Yanzhou is on the edge of Luoyang, with the best population, heaven and earth, and economy in almost the eight northern states, and Cao Cao once operated there for a year.

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Don't worry. If you don't push him into a hurry, he won't mess around. Perhaps, this is also the reason why His Majesty did not express his position. ”

Xun You became angry when he heard this, and said angrily: "This Cao Cao is already too big to lose, I really can't figure it out, why does Your Majesty protect him again and again?" I have a lot of generals in the Han Dynasty, so what if I don't have one Cao Cao!? ”

Xun Yu glanced at him and said, "Recently, there have been rumors of Yang Gong's resurgence, Gongda, you go and ask him to leave Beijing." ”

Xun Yu was not surprised at all that Xun Yu knew about Yang Biao, and nodded calmly: "Okay." So what arrangements did Yang Xiu make? ”

As the son of Yang Biao and the Yang family of the fourth and third dukes, Yang Xiu has attracted much attention.

Xun Yu said: "Gao Yang Ling." ”

Xun You was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay." ”

However, instead he sat up straight, his eyes burned, and his tone was as firm as iron, and said, "Before Wang Lang takes office, I will make some arrangements, and I hope that Shang Shutai will not have any obstructions." ”

Xun Yu and Zhong Yu glanced at each other, and they both saw the flash of worry in each other's eyes.

Xun You's power is already big enough, he has been an official Cao Shangshu for so many years, and his protégés are probably more than the Yuan and Yang families combined!

Maybe the background is far inferior, but if he is suddenly promoted, appointed and dismissed at this juncture, it may attract Wang Lang's strong dissatisfaction, and even the scrutiny of the palace.

"Okay." Xun Yu nodded.

At this time, he didn't want to argue with Xun Yu again.

One Yanzhou and one Yuzhou are enough for him to have a headache.

Seeing that Xun Yu took a step back, Zhong Yu let out a long sigh in his heart.

Xun You showed a smile on his face and said, "That's good." ”

Xun Yu raised his head, looked at Yanzhou as if his eyes were passing through the wall, and said, "Your Highness is still in Yanzhou?" ”

Zhong Xuan remembered instantly, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes." I heard that His Royal Highness personally inspected many rivers, and also took out the money given by Cai Niangniang and the Queen Mother to help the victims. ”

"Hopefully, don't break the embankment." Xun Yu said silently.

This year's heavy rains are ferocious, and it is only July, and many estuaries have been warned.

You must know that in the past few years, Gongcao has been trying his best to build the river embankment, and if the embankment is still broken in this way, it can only mean that the imperial court has not invested enough.

But the imperial court can't come up with more money and food.

Zhong Xuan and Xun Yu were also worried, their hearts were like falling stones, and their breathing was uncomfortable.

……

When Xun Yu and the others were worried, Cao Cao had already left Shanyang County and went to Luoyang under the 'escort' of Huang Zhong's personal soldiers.

These personal soldiers followed behind Cao Cao and others, and they followed suit, and there was no trespassing.

Cao Cao rode a horse, flanked by Cao Ang, Cao Hong, Le Jin and others, while Jia Xu sat in a carriage and followed behind the horse.

And those people originally sent to Cao Cao by the imperial court, such as trial matching, Sima Yi and others, have long been quietly taken away and do not know where to go.

Cao Ang looked back and said with an uneasy expression: "Father, is it really like this?" ”

Cao Cao's beard was a little thicker, his long narrow eyes narrowed, and he quietly looked at the road ahead, but did not speak.

Cao Ang waited for a while, not daring to ask again.

But Cao Hong couldn't help it, and said: "Sima, if you go back like this, there will be more evil and less luck, let's wait a little longer and see what the court wants to do." ”

What Cao Cao did, Cao Hong, and Cao Ang were all by his side, and he knew everything clearly.

They know what they know, and they can say it clearly, but the same thing, in the eyes of different people, especially people in different positions, is completely two different things!

'Cao Cao slaughtered the three cities' has spread all over the world, and under such public opinion, the imperial court will definitely react violently.

With the attitude of the 'Yingchuan Party' towards Cao Cao, this time it will definitely fall into the well and put Cao Cao to death!

Cao Cao still didn't speak, rode his horse, and walked slowly.

Cao Hong saw that he didn't speak, and he was anxious, but he didn't dare to ask again.

Cao Hong looked back at the carriage, and in the carriage was Mr. Jia who was dressed in white and snow.

This Mr. Jia is completely different from the previous Guo Jia.

Although Guo Jia is as wise as a demon, he can be amiable, and he can get along with anyone very well, if he brings a pot of good wine, he can still sleep with his feet, without any barriers.

But Jia Xu is different, this person is silent, likes to stand not far away, quietly observing everyone.

Cao Hong didn't like this person, because under Jia Xu's gaze, Cao Hong seemed to be very uncomfortable as if he was not wearing clothes, so he felt disgusted and disgusted.

His attitude, like most of them, almost no one in Cao Cao's shogunate liked Jia Xu, and they were far away from him.

Even if he didn't like Jia Xu, Cao Hong still hoped that Jia Xu could get out of the carriage at this time, say something to appease their panic, and at the same time point out a clear way for them to enter Beijing.

But Jia Xu is not Guo Jia, he didn't come out, the curtain of the car swayed, and there was no movement.

Cao Hong turned his head and looked at Cao Cao in front of him, full of worries, unable to say a word.

Cao Cao walked neither fast nor slow, and Huang Zhong's personal soldiers behind him followed closely.

It wasn't until dark that Cao Cao stopped and rested at the foot of a mountain.

It was only then that Jia Xu got out of the carriage and came to Cao Cao and the others.

A group of people gathered around the fire, eating and drinking silently, accompanied by gusts of cold wind, and the atmosphere was hot and cold.

Cao Cao used a knife to pick the leg of mutton, and the light of the fire shone on his face, pulling his shadow to flicker.

Jia Xu drank hot tea and did not speak, but was careful not to splash stains on his clothes.

Cao Hong sat opposite him, looked at him I don't know how many times, how many times he made a look, but Jia Xu didn't seem to see it, and he never said a word.

"Mr. Jia!"

Cao Hong couldn't help it, stood up violently, and said loudly.

"Sit down." Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao said lightly.

Cao Hong's words stopped abruptly, looked at Cao Cao, who was eating mutton carelessly, and sat back with a stomach full of anger.

Cao Cao opened his mouth, Jia Xu slowly put down the teacup, and said, "That Lu Bu stayed in Shanyang County." ”

When Cao Ang heard this, he immediately said, "Mr. Jia, what do you mean by this?" ”

The civil ministers and military generals of the Han Dynasty did not like Lu Bu, and even hated him, and many even wanted to secretly execute him.

Cao Cao also didn't like it, and he had been snubbed in Yuzhou before. But when he was in Xiapi, Liu Wei sent Lü Bu to Cao Cao.

Jia Xu glanced at Cao Cao and said, "This shows that Your Majesty is not suspicious of Cao Sima." ”

Cao Cao didn't seem to hear it, and ate by himself.

Cao Ang only had Jia Xu in his eyes, and then asked: "Then it will be said that after my father returns to Luoyang, there will be no difficulties?" ”

"That's right." Jia Xu said. His tone was flat, as if he was playing chess, making random moves, and he didn't care about anything else.

Cao Ang twisted his eyebrows, his face was obviously in disbelief, and he turned his head to look at his father.

Cao Cao picked up the flask from his waist and cooed it until he finished drinking, then put it down, and then he stiffened his face, his eyes were wide open, and his nostrils kept spitting out.

Cao Ang's face was a little unnatural, and he was worried about his father.

He knew that since Guo Jia died of illness, his father had been unconsciously good at drinking, and every time he drank like this, he missed Guo Jia very much.

Cao Ang can know, and Jia Xu knows even better.

At the same time, it is clear that Cao Cao is expressing dissatisfaction with him.

Jia Xu was silent for a while, and then said: "After Sima returns to Beijing, he will not go out of the door, and no one will see him until His Majesty summons him." After seeing His Majesty, don't mention the matter of Tu Sancheng, just say that the 'separation of military and government' is severe, if Your Majesty mentions and asks, Sima must also bypass it, and if he can't get around, Sima will ask for guilt. ”

Cao Cao's narrow eyes narrowed, and he slowly turned his head to look at him, and said, "This can dispel Your Majesty's doubts?" ”

"I can't."

Jia Xu's expression was calm as usual, and he said, "But it can also dispel seventy or eighty percent." If I expect it to be good, Sima should be dismissed from all official positions this time, and at most a month, the general will go out of Beijing again in the capacity of some kind of envoy to continue the 'separation of military and political affairs'. ”

Cao Cao's eyes were like swords, and he looked at Jia Xu quietly.
