At the same time that Zuo Ci went out of the city overnight, Wang Nuo's Situ Mansion ushered in an uninvited guest. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In the study of Situ Mansion, there are two cups of fragrant tea on the table, and the heat in the teacups is rising and floating in the air, bringing a fragrance to the study. However, the conversation between Wang Nuo and the uninvited guest in front of him did not have the slightest taste of fragrance.
"Is it Yuan Ding's subordinate?" Wang Nuo didn't even raise his eyelids, sat in the Taishi's chair with a golden knife, and asked without being salty.
The middle-aged scribe sitting opposite Wang Nuo smiled indifferently, and Mao Sui recommended himself: "A certain is engaged in the trial and matching under the command of Yuan Cheqi. β
Wang Nuo picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and asked in an indifferent tone: "It turned out to be a trial, I don't know if you are visiting late at night, what are you doing?"
The judge slowly took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Wang Nuo, and said, "My lord Yuan Che has a letter here, and Lord Situ will know it at a glance. β
Wang Nuo slowly opened Yuan Ding's handwritten letter, and at first only glanced at it twice, but as the content of the letter deepened, Wang Nuo's eyes were firmly attracted, and he looked at it seriously with a look of surprise on his face. The judge who was sitting on the side observed the words and looks, knowing that Wang Nuo was moved by the content of the letter, he picked up the teacup with a smile and tasted the fragrant tea comfortably. Obviously, the judges knew the contents of the letters for a long time.
In the letter, Yuan Ding first greatly complimented Wang Nuo with some sensual words, and then pointed out Wang Nuo's current embarrassing situation, Wang Nuo was in a high position but was robbed of the limelight by Yuan Qi, Ugong Zhaolie and others, and Wang Nuo was defenseless in this battle to quell the chaos, and it was inevitable that he would be snubbed by the Son of Heaven. Yuan Ding's words deeply touched Wang Nuo's heart, isn't it, since Yuan Qi entered Beijing and Dong Meng was killed, Yuan Xie has obeyed Yuan Qi's words. is not at all as before, so polite to Wang Nuo, all of this is caused by Yuan Qi, coupled with the matter of Ruyu, Wang Nuo can be said to have lost his righteous daughter and broken his army, and by the way, he threw it into his face, which made Wang Nuo hate it when he thought of Yuan Qi. Unconsciously, Wang Nuo has been brought into Yuan Ding's thinking.
Next. Yuan Ding changed his words in the letter, saying that Yuan Qi deliberately provoked the contradictions of the princes from all walks of life, and forcibly split the alliance into two parts, which can be said to be treacherous to the extreme, and used conspiracy and trickery to attack the capital, blinded the Son of Heaven, and made the Son of Heaven mistakenly think that only Yuan Qi, Ugong Teriya and others were loyal ministers, and used the loyalty of all the princes to play with the princes of all walks of life. In a word. Yuan Ding put almost all the charges he could think of on Yuan Qi's head, so as to express his dissatisfaction with Yuan Qi, as for what the truth is, everyone understands.
After talking about the dissatisfaction with Yuanqi. Yuan Ding expressed his opinion in the letter, he believed that Yuan Qi's soldiers were strong and strong, and he would definitely establish himself as the king after a long time, which was a major hidden danger for the imperial court. Maybe it will be the next Dong Meng, and he asked Wang Nuo's opinion on this, and asked Wang Nuo how to restrain Yuan Qi. The end of the epistle. Yuan Ding pursued Wang Nuo again and hoped that Wang Nuo would make a decision as soon as possible.
After reading Yuan Ding's handwritten letter, Wang Nuo let out a long breath and raised his eyes to look at the trial, the carelessness in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by endless gloom. From Wang Nuo's eyes, the judge saw his hatred for Yuan Qi.
Sure enough, after Wang Nuo was silent for a moment, he spoke: "Yuan Qi has made some merits by luck, and there is no one in his eyes, which is really hateful. I would like to ask for a trial to return to Yuan Che riding, Wang is willing to echo Yuan Che Riding above the court, but I don't know, what benefits can I get?"
Old fox! The judge secretly scolded Wang Nuo in his heart, obviously he wanted to drive Yuan Qi out of the court, but he pretended to be helping Yuan Ding, and he wanted to ask for any benefits! However, this point had already been calculated before the trial came, and Yuan Ding also granted the trial and match the power to act arbitrarily, so that the trial and match could act at the opportunity. The judge said slowly: "After the matter is completed, Yuan Che will ride outside, and Wang Situ will be in charge of the government together, how about it?"
Wang Nuo's eyes flashed violently, and he slapped the table hard, and said with a sly smile on his face: "Okay! In Wang Nuo's opinion, once the problem of Yuan Qi is solved, no one else is a threat in his eyes, and when Wang Nuo is in a high position of the third duke, he controls the government and deposes Yuan Ding in the name of the Son of Heaven, what can Yuan Ding do?
The judge also laughed, and arched his hand towards Wang Nuo and said, "I wish Wang Situ and my lord a happy cooperation." "In today's era, there are soldiers and horses to have the right to speak, and when the Yuan Qi is solved, the princes who have the most military horses in the world are Yuan Ding, and when Yuan Ding waives his army to the west, Wang Nuo has no military power, and he can't resist Yuan Ding, at that time, Yuan Ding can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes and command the world.
The two of them smiled with their own ghosts, each picked up the teacup in front of them, and tasted the tea comfortably.
In the Guanzhong camp, Zhang Ji was also holding a letter in his hand, looking at it seriously, and Zuo Ci was standing on one side with his hands down. Yuan Qi wrote this letter to Zhang Ji as a nephew, and Zuo Ci naturally couldn't talk to Zhang Ji as an equal, so he could only stand aside and wait.
After a long time, Zhang Ji put away the letter and sighed softly: "Yuan Junhou is really well-intentioned. Anyway, this matter, so-and-so agreed. Early tomorrow morning, the troops will return to the capital to face the saint. It can be regarded as doing a lot for a certain soldier. Most of the soldiers under Zhang Ji's command are from Xiliang, because of Dong Meng's catastrophe, the Xiliang army has become synonymous with rebellion. But as the so-called people are divided into groups, Zhang Ji has an upright temperament, and most of the people who can be accepted by him are also upright people, which is very different from the Xiliang Army directly under Dong Meng, in order to have a good future for these Xiliang men under his command, Zhang Ji has no reason to refuse Yuan Qi.
This night is destined to be an eventful night. In Sun Jian's military camp, Sun Jian personally stabbed the sword into Li Su's heart, and turned it twice hard, until it was confirmed that Li Su was dead and could no longer die, Sun Jian withdrew the long sword. Walking to the table of the Chinese army's big tent, Sun Jian took out a jet-black wooden box from under the table, and just opened the wooden box a crack, and five colors of light emanated from the wooden box.
Sun Jian's movements immediately attracted the attention of the others in the tent. At this moment, there are only a few henchmen such as Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai who can stand in Sun Jian's big tent. Even Sun Shangxiang was not among them.
Sun Ce watched Sun Jian take out the five-colored light object in the wooden box with both hands, and couldn't help but ask: "Father, is this really the jade seal of the country? Isn't it rumored that this treasure has been lost when the eunuchs rebelled?"
Cheng Pu took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Lord, can you show the jade seal to someone?" Sun Jian did not hesitate, and reached out and handed the heirloom jade seal to Cheng Pu. Cheng Pu has been by Sun Jian's side for almost 20 years, and he is loyal and unswerving, and he is Sun Jian's most trusted arm.
Carefully taking the jade seal, Cheng Pu looked at it carefully for a while, and then with a happy face, he said to Sun Jian and a few people in the tent: "This thing is indeed a jade seal of the country. The jade seal of the country is four inches in circumference, engraved with five dragons and bonds, and there are eight-character seal inscriptions on one side of the seal, and the book is 'ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang'. Today's lord has obtained this treasure, which is an auspicious omen, and the will of heaven will enthrone the lord. The lord should return to Jiangdong as soon as possible, and don't make good plans. β
Sun Jian said with a smile: "The words of virtue are exactly what I want." After the army rested, he resigned to the Son of Heaven and returned to Jiangdong. β
Sun Ce suddenly interjected and said, "Father, our army was able to attack the capital and my father was able to obtain this treasure, thanks to Master's strategy. According to the child, shouldn't I discuss this matter with the master?"
Sun Jian pondered for a while, then looked down at the jade seal that Cheng Pu put back on the table, and said hesitantly: "Although Yuan Junhou is a bright and upright person and treats people kindly, this matter is not trivial, let's not make any extraneous branches, and return to Jiangdong as soon as possible." After returning to Jiangdong, he wrote a letter to his father and informed Yuan Junhou of the matter. β
Seeing that Sun Jian was resolute, Sun Ce didn't dare to say anything, so he had to suppress the thoughts in his heart.
Outside Sun Jian's big tent, a sergeant held his breath, leaned his ear on the tent and secretly listened to the conversation of Sun Jian and others, and listened to the conversation of everyone in the tent word for word. Then he quietly left the big tent and ran in the direction of Yuan Ding's camp outside the city.
The next day, in the Deyang Palace, Yuan Xie sat on the dragon chair, and the eunuch standing beside Yuan Xie shouted in a sharp voice: "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat fromββ"
Wang Nuo stepped out of the train and said loudly: "Qi Shengshang, the general of the chariot and cavalry, Yuan Ding, and other princes of the Fourteenth Route have already issued a decree outside the city, waiting for the Holy Lord to summon them. β
Yuan Xie snorted coldly when he heard this: "Do they still have the face to see me? At the beginning, they stopped at the Tiger Prison Pass, and missed the opportunity, if it weren't for the emperor's brother's surprise attack on the capital, I am afraid that I would still be in the wine cellar of the emperor's general's house!" After Yuan Xie returned to the government, he reused a group of civil and military officials who were deposed by Dong Meng, and Huangfu Chu and Zhu Huan and others were among them.
Seeing that Yuan Xie was angry, Yuan Ying went out of class and said: "Start the saint, the saint should treat people with leniency, Yuan Cheqi came to King Qin after all, and after Dong Meng's rebellion, the court is in ruins, and it is the time to employ people, and the saint must not chill the hearts of the princes." β
Zhong Xuan, Du Ji and others also went out to persuade each other, and Yuan Xie reluctantly agreed, and ordered Yuan Ding and other fourteen princes to take off their swords and armor, and walk to the palace in court clothes.
