Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 1081

Chapter 1081 Exploration

For more than half a year, the border between Luoyang and Guanzhong, and between the Han and Wei countries has been tightly sealed.

This is also one of the reasons why Mi Shishilang was a little embarrassed by Deng Yang's request.

The channel has been cut off, where can I find the secret medicine for him?

Since the First World War in Guanzhong, the domestic situation in Wei State has changed not only extremely fast, but also enormous.

Many of the information collected by Mi Shishilang could not be sent out in time.

Moreover, his activities in the Wei state also required the support of the Dahan channel.

The most important thing is that because I have broken contact with the big man, I have no direction at all on what to do next.

Now seeing Han Long coming, he is naturally very happy.

On the contrary, it was Han Long who confirmed the news of Yang Yi's surrender to the enemy from Mi Shishilang's mouth, and was even more worried about Mi Shishilang's situation:

"Your Majesty sent me here because he was worried that Yang Yi's defection would implicate Mi Langjun."

"After all, this person has served as the prime minister for many years and knows many military secrets. Among them, there must be a detailed list."

"Although Junhou has never mentioned the existence of Mi Langjun to the outside world, he is always afraid of the unexpected."

"What's more, Mr. Mi Lang is originally a relative of the Han Emperor, so Yang Yi should know Mr. Mi Lang."

"If Yang Yi finds out that Mr. Mi Lang is also in Wei State one day, and becomes suspicious, Mr. Mi Lang will be in a dangerous situation! Please also ask Mr. Mi Lang to go back with me."

Hearing Han Long's words, Mi Shishilang's face changed slightly:

"I returned to Luoyang from Xuchang just to avoid seeing Yang Yi as much as possible, and I didn't think of this in a hurry."

He wasn't worried about himself.

Not to mention that Yang Yi is in Xuchang now, even if he came to Luoyang, so what if he accidentally saw him?

After all, who in the powerful circle didn't know what happened between Feng Guiwang and Mi Langjun back then?

Over the years, many people in Luoyang City knew that he was forced by King Feng Gui, so they left Shu.

The most important thing is that the secret work of Feng Guiwang and the prime minister's mansion are two parallel teams.

The two groups of people do not belong to each other and do not know each other.

The reason why Mi Shishilang changed his face was because Han Long reminded him that he suddenly realized:

If Yang Yi really had the secret list sent by the prime minister, how many people would die at the hands of thieves?

Although the secret agents sent to the enemy country are basically with the will to die.

But these colleagues, who contributed to the country, died quietly in the end, and they may not even know their names.

The same is a fine work, and Mi Langjun naturally feels the most empathy for this, he only feels that there is a weight in his heart, and he is a little out of breath.

He made up his mind:

"This matter should not be underestimated. I will try to find out in the past two days."

Seeing Mi Shishilang like this, Han Long couldn't help feeling a little anxious:

"Mr. Mi, the most important thing right now is to return to the Great Han. Feng Junhou said that there is no need for Mr. Mi to stay in Luoyang now, so please don't take risks."

Mi Shishilang shook his head:

"Feng Junhou is far away in Guanzhong, how can he understand the situation here better than me? I believe that staying here is far more important than going back."

He looked at Han Long and emphasized his tone:

"On the contrary, sir, you must be prepared to go back to the big man at any time. I have a lot of news here, which needs to be brought back to Junhou."

"If the situation permits, I will send a caravan to Jingzhou in the name of buying and selling in a few days. Sir, there should be no doubts."

Hebei and Luoyang are indeed tightly blocked.

But the border between Wei and Wu in Jingzhou is very loose.

As long as you can enter Nanjun, everything will be fine.

After all, Jingzhou has the warehouse (base) of Xinghanhui.

The Jingzhou route is one of Mi Langjun's alternative routes.

Now that Hebei and Tongguan cannot get through, it is time to activate the Jingzhou route.

With the name of Princess Qinghe, I believe this matter will not arouse suspicion.

Seeing Mi Shishilang's resolute tone, Han Long sighed, and at the same time was moved by the other party's decision, he clasped his fist heavily:

"From the great man, to the general, and down to the common man, there are many sayings, "destroy the thieves and rejuvenate the Han". There are countless generous people with lofty ideals. From this, it can be seen that the great man will prosper!"

Mi Shishilang smiled bitterly, and then heaved a long sigh.

At the beginning, he really just wanted to come to Wei to escape.

Ghost knows how it became like this?

Well, maybe I really met a ghost king.

“When you are alive, you always have to do something meaningful, so that it is worthwhile to take a trip to the world.”

Mi Shishilang's tone was a bit erratic:

"Destroy the thieves and calm the chaos, restore the peace of the world, protect the peace of the people, save future generations from the suffering of war, restore the prestige of the Han family, connect the heavens and the earth, and do everything."

"Thinking about this matter, if it can really be achieved in my hands, it is probably the most meaningful thing..."

Otherwise, what else could he do?

The situation in the world is leaning more and more towards the big man.

Whether it is forced or voluntary, I have already done so many things, why don't I stick to it?

What's the point of giving up halfway like Yang Yi?

"It's also possible that I really want to prove myself and do something meaningful."

It is said that in times of war, the people will not suffer.

But the time in Wei State is not too short, and I found that the people of Wei State are far more miserable than those under the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Mi Shishilang laughed: "When a man is alive, if he can have the opportunity to exterminate the thieves and rejuvenate the country, and leave his name in history, why should he cherish this body?"

He didn't want to be a man at first, but the world is impermanent.

Han Long also laughed: "Excellent! Big man!"

With great pride in his chest, Han Long couldn't control his emotions:

"I'm pretty confident in my skills, why don't I go to Xuchang and stab that thief Yang Yi to death?"

When Mi Shishilang heard this, he hurriedly stopped him:

"Absolutely not! When Yang Yi first arrived in Wei State, it was the time to be cautious. I am afraid that he will not leave opportunities for others."

"Besides, Xuchang is now the seat of the false emperor of Wei State, and the guards are heavily guarded. Even if the master succeeds, I'm afraid it will be difficult to retreat."

"To this day, what Yang Yi can say, I'm afraid he has already told the thief Wei. It's really not worth taking the risk."

"The most important thing at the moment is to pass the news of Wei Guo back to the Han, and the matter of Yang Yi will be discussed separately in the future."

Han Long heard Mi Shishilang's strong opposition, so he nodded in response.

On the second day, before the sun was even in the middle of the sky, Princess Qinghe sent someone to Juepinju, saying that she wanted to eat Juepinju's food for lunch today.

Mi Shishilang didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly asked someone to make his signature dish, and then delivered it to the princess' mansion himself.

Of course, Mi Shishilang is not qualified to walk through the front door.

Instead, they were sent in through the small gate of the Houfu.

While Mi Shishilang was delivering food to Princess Qinghe's mansion, Xia Houxuan's mansion also welcomed a guest.

"How can the Taifu come here in time?"

Xia Houxuan, who is like a jade tree facing the wind, faces the actual highest authority in Luoyang, with a calm face, as if he is just receiving an ordinary friend.

Sima Yi didn't care.

In today's Great Wei Dynasty, the "Study of Mysterious Yuan" is becoming more and more popular, and it pays attention to not being surprised, and keeping calm in front of thunder is a celebrity demeanor.

If Xiahou Xuanran was moved because of his visit, how could he be pushed as the head of "Xuanyuan Learning"?

"Tai Chu, long time no see."

Sima Yi greeted Xia Houxuan warmly with an affectionate smile on his face.

Xia Houxuan still had a calm look on his face when he saw the Taifu's attitude:

"The Grand Tutor is busy with affairs, yet he still condescends to come to the humble house in time, which is beyond Xuan's expectations."

Sima Yi looked at Xia Houxuan's appearance, feeling a little helpless:

"Won't Tai Chu invite me in for a sit down?"

Xia Houxuan hadn't spoken yet, but Master Sima, who was following Sima Yi, called out worriedly, "My lord?"

Xia Houxuan's gaze fell on Sima Shi, and immediately became sharp:

"The gate of Xiahou Mansion, people with human faces and animal hearts are not allowed to enter!"

When Master Sima heard this, his face turned pale at first, then flushed again, and finally turned purple.

His original partner, Xiahou Hui, is Xiahouxuan's own sister.

Sima Shi personally poisoned Xiahou Hui to death, declaring that Xiahou Hui died suddenly.

Sudden death is not a good word.

It's more like a curse, not a good death.

For Xia Houxuan, his sister gave birth to five daughters for Master Sima, and there have been no rumors of poor health.

Unexpectedly, not long after Sima Yi led the army back to Luoyang, my sister sent a letter, saying that Sima's family was definitely not a loyal minister of the Great Wei.

Then Amei suddenly died for no apparent reason.

If there are no twists and turns, who would believe it?

In fact, if Xia Houxuan hadn't been friends with Sima Yi when he was young, and Sima Yi's identity, Xia Houxuan might even want to drive Sima Yi out.

Sima Shi's cheeks showed faint bulges on his gums, showing that he was on the verge of eruption at this time.

Sima Yi didn't seem to understand Xia Houxuan's implication, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.

But he seemed to be able to hear it. He turned his head and said to Master Sima:

"Ziyuan wait outside, I'll go in and have a talk with Taichu."

Master Sima bowed his head deeply: "Yes, my lord."

After hearing Sima Yi's order, Xia Houxuan couldn't help but glance at Sima Shi, and then at Sima Yi deeply.

But he didn't invite people into the mansion immediately, but continued to ask: "I don't know what's the matter with the master?"

Sima Yi had a warm smile on his face, as warm as the sun in June: "National affairs."

"National affairs?"

"Yes, state affairs." Sima Yi nodded, "I am here today, not to talk about personal affairs, but to talk about state affairs."

Xia Houxuan was silent for a while, and finally said: "Please, Grand Tutor."

Entering the mansion, the two sat down as host and guest, Xia Houxuan said:

"What's important for the Taifu, you can talk about it now."

Sima Yi raised his teacup, touched his lips briefly, then put it down:

"Xuchang sent an appointment, and the general intends to let Taichu go to Xuchang to serve as the regular servant of the Sanqi and the post of the Central Guard."

"Oh?" Rao Xia Houxuan was extremely determined, but when he heard the news, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "When did the news come?"

"Just now, as soon as it was delivered to me, I came to look for you." Sima Yi smiled, "I wonder if Taichu is interested in this?"

Xia Houxuan was hated by Cao Rui because of the matter of Empress Mao's younger brother. Ten years ago, Xia Houxuan was demoted from Huangmen servant to Yulin supervisor.

Later, all the main figures of the Xiahou clan were put under house arrest in Luoyang City by Cao Rui.

After ten years of silence, Xia Houxuan couldn't stop his heart beating faster when he suddenly heard that the general wanted to let him take up an important position.

He forcibly stabilized his emotions, and smiled lightly:

"Xuan is intentional or not, it can be said that he can't help himself, what's the benefit of asking?"

"Oh? Taichu said he couldn't help himself, so who should it be?"

"Of course it is the Taifu." Xia Houxuan stared at Sima Yi, "Would the Taifu want me to go to Xuchang?"

"So what Taichu means is that he is willing to serve as Luo?" Sima Yi laughed, "That's right, Taichu had great ambitions when he was young, and the opportunity to contribute to the country is right in front of him, how could he give up."

"Since Taichu intends to contribute to the country," Sima Yi also looked at Xia Houxuan, "Then it is at a time when the Great Wei is in crisis. I wonder if Taichu has a good opinion on this?"

"I don't dare to have a good opinion. Over the years, the thieves have become more and more powerful, but those who are interested in the country, who is not anxious?"

"Tai Chu, please speak."

"Emperor Wen established the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. The original intention is to better select talents for the country, and to give Zhongzheng officials great power. The level of talent and virtue is determined by him."

"If Zhongzheng officials select talents fairly, it's okay to say, but unfortunately, most of today's Zhongzheng officials are controlled by aristocratic families."

"Over the years, Zhongzheng officials have judged products by first looking at family background and then character. Children from aristocratic families are promoted without talent, and children from poor families who have talent but are not selected are everywhere."

"In the past, when Emperor Wu was here, good officials came out one after another, and the crisis was solved overnight. Now the thieves are powerful, and the princes in the court are helpless, and they can't find good officials."

"So in Xuan's view, at this time, the Great Wei has reached the point where it has to be reformed."

Sima Yi, who was originally calm, changed slightly after hearing Xia Houxuan's words: "Reform?"

"Yes, limit the power of the right officials, remove redundant officials to drive out incompetence, re-examine classes to recruit good talents, and correct the shortcomings of the court, so as to revive the Great Wei and counteract the forces of thieves."

Having said this, Xia Houxuan looked at Sima Yi again: "What do you think?"

Sima Yi forced himself to smile: "That's a very kind word."

Xia Houxuan pressed on step by step: "Oh, the Taifu also thinks that Wei has reached the point where he has to change?"

"If it doesn't change, Great Wei will be in danger. But if it is changed," Sima Yi pondered, "There must be a good opportunity, and there must be talented people to implement various measures!"

"Tai Chu also said that now that the thieves are getting stronger, the outside is unstable, and there are no talented people inside. How can we talk about reforming?"

said and shook his head: "The time has not come, the time has not come!"

Xia Houxuan frowned involuntarily when he heard Sima Yi's excuses.

Before he could speak again, Sima Yi got up:

"I have learned a lot from Taichu's words today, and I have benefited a lot. Taichu is a great talent, and I love Cai sincerely, but I am reluctant to let Taichu go to Xuchang."

"What's more, all the members of the Taichu tribe are in Luoyang. Wouldn't working in Luoyang be much better than going to Xuchang?"

Xia Houxuan got up after him and remained silent.

Sima Yi seemed to be discussing with him, but in fact he was telling him that it was impossible to let him leave Luoyang for Xuchang.

Seeing that Xia Houxuan didn't speak, Sima Yi only took him as the answer:

"Then it's settled, there is no need to send Taichu off."

After finishing speaking, he left the Xiahou Mansion by himself.

"grown ups?"

Master Sima, who had been guarding outside the mansion all this time, saw Sima Yi coming out, and rushed to meet him.

"Xiahou Taichu must send more people, put him in prison, and never let him leave Luoyang!"

After getting into the carriage, Sima Yi's face darkened, and he gave instructions to Master Sima who was sitting opposite.

Xiahouxuan is the most outstanding figure in the Xiahou clan, and also Cao Shuang's cousin (Xiahouxuan's mother is Cao Shuang's aunt, the village owner of Deyang).

Cao Shuang has no idea. If Xia Houxuan really went to Xuchang, maybe he could really persuade Cao Shuang to promote the reform.

Even if Cao Shuang cannot be persuaded, Xia Houxuan, who has a great reputation, must not be allowed to go to Xuchang to help Cao Shuang.

Master Sima heard this, his eyes glared fiercely, and he said in a low voice:

"Since my lord is worried about Xia Houxuan, why not..."

Anyway, his wife Xiahou Hui had already been poisoned to death by him, so why not kill Xiahouxuan, the eldest brother-in-law?

Sima Yi looked at his son with complicated eyes.

ended up just sighing:

"I have a very close friendship with Xiahouxuan, and the Sima family and Xiahou's family are good friends, how can we get along?"

"As long as I am alive, I must protect his life. Otherwise, wouldn't I become a cold person and be criticized by others?"

Master Sima let out an "oh" in disappointment, and then suddenly recalled:

Doesn't that mean that once the adults are away, you can do it yourself?

PS: There are too many things during the Chinese New Year, and the update may be unstable. Don't think about complaining to Tiger Girl, she has already agreed, hahaha!
