Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 891

Chapter 891 Chaos in Wei State

"Spitting blood? Fainted?"

As soon as the literary defense assistant heard it, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

As an official sent by the imperial court to monitor the palace, the literary defense assistant certainly knows what his position is.

It doesn't matter whether it's guarding, monitoring, or even intimidating, I'm just a vicious dog of the court in the end.

Clans are clans after all, so the Cao surname is naturally more noble than his foreign surname.

My own memorial has just been sent out, and Chen Wang is really going to have an accident.

If you really want to say that this matter has nothing to do with you, who will believe it?

When the time comes to force the prince to death, this **** pot will definitely be pinned on his own head.

It's fine to move your own head, if you are afraid, the whole family will be severely punished.

Not to mention washing up, he didn't even dress neatly, so he hurriedly followed the servants to see King Chen.

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

As soon as the man entered the room, he hurriedly asked a question.

Instead of saying "how is your highness?", he asked "what's the matter" to show that he didn't know anything about his highness vomiting blood and unconsciousness.

It's just that he is domineering and domineering on weekdays, and everyone in Chen Wang's mansion fears and hates him.

Besides, most of the people in the room just bowed their heads and were sad. Who would care about him?

The literary defense assistant squeezed away the crowd surrounding Cao Zhi's couch, and fixed his eyes to look, but saw Cao Zhi lying on the couch with his eyes closed and his face like gold paper.

The most important thing is that the chest is still stained with red blood stains.

Princess Chen, who was the closest, was standing at the head of the bed and weeping.

When the literary defense assistant saw this situation, his heart beat like a drum, and his hands and feet were cold.

It was the first time to salute Princess Chen respectfully:

"Dare to ask the princess, what happened to King Chen?"

Princess Chen is Cao Zhi's second wife.

His first wife originally came from Qinghe Cui's family.

But when Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were fighting for the throne, Cao Cao thought Cui's clothes were too gorgeous and violated the frugal government order, so he bestowed Cui's death.

Later, Cao Cao bestowed the death of Cui's uncle, Cui Yan, who was also the representative of Qinghe Cui's family.

This is actually a means for Cao Cao to suppress the Hebei family.

Compared to the Cui family of Qinghe, the current Princess Chen is of ordinary origin.

In normal times, the literary defense assistant officer treats her so respectfully, she might feel a little panicked.

It's just that at this moment, how can she be in the mood to bother with the literary defense assistant?

I saw her face shaking her head sadly:

"The medical staff is in the clinic, and I don't know what's going on."

Hearing this, the literary defense assistant had no choice but to forcibly suppress his anxious mood.

After waiting for the medical staff to finish reading, the literary defense assistant was the first to speak:

"How is King Chen?"

The medical worker's face was a little ugly, and he lowered his voice and replied:

"Chen Wang's health was not very good, and now he drank too much alcohol, causing Qi and blood to be in disorder, so he vomited blood and passed out..."

The literary defense assistant officer was moved, and said hastily:

"Is there something wrong with those wines?"

He was eager to get rid of his responsibility, and the words came out of his mouth.

The medical engineer naturally couldn't guarantee it, but said hesitantly:

"This... villain hasn't seen that King Chen is poisoned..."

But Cao San couldn't help but said:

"It is absolutely impossible. Feng Jun once said that if the world is based on literary talent, only Chen Wang can catch the eye, and the rest are mediocre."

"Again, taking Feng Jun's gift to Chen Wang as an example, how could he do such a thing to Chen Wang?"

The wine was brought back by him. If there is really something wrong with the wine, then he cannot escape death.

What's more, the literary defense assistant in front of him suspects that there is a problem with alcohol. How is that different from suspecting that he is poisoning Chen Wang with a thief?

This is a terrible thing.

So he can't take care of any scruples.

Literary defense assistants still have to be shameless.

He thought of the framed picture, so naturally he also read the poem.

Since Feng Zei can present such a poem that has been handed down for generations to King Chen, if he insists that there is something wrong with the wine, it is obvious that he treats the world as a fool.

After all, the literati of this era still talk about the style of ancient gentlemen.

So when Cao San said this, the literary defense assistant officer was a little embarrassed, so he stopped talking.

"Get out!"

A faint voice came from nowhere.

Concubine Chen, who focused all her attention on Cao Zhi, exclaimed in surprise and joy: "Your Highness!"

Everyone quickly looked together, only to see that Chen Wang woke up at some point.

"Your Highness, how are you..."

The literary defense assistant wanted to join in with concern.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhi stared at him fiercely, his voice was weak but disgusted:

"Get out!"

"Your Highness..."

"Shameless villain, is he worthy of talking about me and Feng Jun? Get out of here! Don't stain my eyes!"

When did the literary defense assistant receive such anger in Chen Wangfu?

It's just that this is a sensitive period, he didn't dare to provoke Chen Wang too much, so he forced a smile and said:

"Your Highness is in a bad mood, so I won't bother His Highness."

While turning around, he secretly felt ruthless in his heart, just waiting for Cao Zhi's health to improve a little, and see how I will give the secret performance to His Majesty!

However, just as he walked to the door, he heard another exclamation from inside: "Your Highness!"

He quickly turned his head to look, just in time to see Cao Zhi straighten up, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood!

This scared him out of his wits!

For everyone in Chen Wangfu, Cao Zhi's serious illness may be the sky is about to fall.

But for Cao Rui, it was just a hastily browsed content.

Because for Cao Rui, with the death of the Empress Dowager (that is, the Bian family), the last trace of threat from his uncle, the emperor, also dissipated.

Not to mention other Cao family members.

So in the past two years, he has been more tolerant of the Cao family members who are enfeoffed in various places.

Not only did the kings and princes of the Cao family send their sons to Beijing, but even Cao Zhi was able to come to Beijing to have an audience.

Because of Cao Zhi's repeated performances before, Cao Rui's move not only showed his humility to accept advice, but also showed his importance to the kinship of the Cao clan.

It's just this reputation, which is nothing but a drop in the bucket for the foundation shake caused by successive defeats in the past few years.

Compared with Cao Zhi's serious illness, Cao Rui cared more about the news about the Shu bandits brought back by the envoy.

In his view, the Shu people forcibly swallowed up a Liangzhou with a mere state, which is simply a snake-eating phenomenon.

Even if there are people like Zhuge Liang who are good at governing the country, if they can live in peace for three years and rule in ten years, they are already blessed by heaven.

Of course, it would be even better if the Shu people were burdened by Liangzhou and wasted national power like the Later Han.

Didn't expect Feng Zei to be able to go to Anliangzhou for more than half a year...

More than half a year!

It only took more than half a year!

Thinking of this, Cao Rui couldn't help but smashed the memorial in his hand to the ground, and said angrily:

"Feng thief! The most cunning of the Shu people!"

At the same time, a sense of powerlessness also rose in his heart:

"Why do the people of Shu, with the power of a state, have Zhuge in the front and thief Feng in the back, but given the size of China, whenever there are major events, they always make me worry about myself, and no one can worry for me?"

At this moment of upset, the favorite minister Lian Zhao came in holding a memorial, and said softly:

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Qingzhou."

When Cao Rui heard this, he became even more irritable, and said a little impatiently:

"read."

The content of the memorial is not good news. It says that Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong secretly communicated with Wu Lu, and the state of Wu sent a large number of boats to Gongsun Yuan to give gifts.

Cao Rui's face became even more gloomy when he heard this. After a while, he asked:

"What do you think of this matter?"

Although Lian Zhao is considered a villain, so that he can frame others in front of Cao Rui with his minor faults, but his talent is extraordinary.

He seemed to be prepared for a long time, when he heard Cao Rui's question, he said without thinking:

"Wu Lu was the leader of the boat division, and now he wants to use the sea route to Liaodong and win over Gongsun Yuan; while Liaodong Gongsun Yuan appears to be surrendering to the Great Wei, but in fact he has two hearts. This move is probably seeking a way out."

"Besides, Wu is short of war horses, and Liaodong produces good horses. The intersection of Wu and Liao is likely to be detrimental to Wei."

Cao Rui nodded, "What I said is very suitable to me."

Having said this, he sighed again, "Your lords in the court, whenever there is an important event, you either flatter him, or you dare not say too much, for fear of losing your position, alas!"

"If there were more people like you, why would I work so hard?"

Speaking of "meet Heyer", Cao Rui thought of someone, and asked:

"That Liu Ye, how is it now?"

Thinking of the past, whenever there was a major event, I discussed with Liu Ye more often, and the other party could always give me advice.

Cao Rui couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.

Lian Zhao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

He has been by Cao Rui's side for a long time, and now he is deeply favored by Cao Rui.

At the beginning, Liu Ye was overthrown by his monk Shuling Chen Jiao. If His Majesty wanted to use this person again, where would he be?

Immediately replied:

"Returning to Your Majesty, after Liu Ye's good intentions were seen through by His Majesty, he went mad, and now he is sick in the house, presumably because of guilt in his heart, he has no face to see His Majesty's ears."

"I'm sick..." Cao Rui frowned and waved his hands, "Then let him be the Dahonglu. After all, he is the elder of the three dynasties, so he can't be too harsh."

The person of Dahonglu is in charge of the praise and guidance of the rituals of the court sacrifice.

Letting veterans like Liu Ye serve as Da Honglu and rank among the nine ministers, it can be regarded as giving him peace of mind for the elderly.

Lian Zhao lowered his head and replied, "No."

In a place Cao Rui couldn't see, a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Thinking about all the ministers in the court, they all advised themselves to rest and recuperate, not to use weapons rashly, so Cao Rui put out the idea of letting other ministers come to discuss.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Drafting the imperial edict, Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong had two minds, counted with Wu Tong, and ordered Youzhou Governor Wang Xiong to lead the army of Youzhou to go by land, and Tian Yu, the prefect of Runan, supervised the army of Qingzhou to discuss it from the sea."

Da Sima Sima Yi is now farming in Guanzhong, and he has not been able to manage it for a few years, so he may not be able to go west.

Being forced by the Shu bandits, the main strategic direction of Wei now is west rather than east.

Before Longyou and Liangzhou were resolved, it would be difficult for Wei to attack Jiangnan with a large army like the first emperor did.

Neither Shu nor Wu can move, and it seems that only Liaodong can move.

Otherwise, if Liaodong and Sun Wu are connected, the Great Wei will be enemies on all sides!

It's better to strike first, to control others instead of controlling others.

"No."

Knowing that Cao Rui wanted to attack Liao both by land and sea, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty of Wei State really opposed it.

"Any country that is not swallowing each other, and ministers who do not invade and rebel, should not be attacked lightly. Cutting them down but not controlling them is driving them into thieves. Therefore, it is said: "Tigers and wolves are in the way, and foxes cannot be ruled." First eliminate the big harm, and the small harm yourself .”

"The land on the surface of the sea today has been entrusted for generations, and there is no shortage of posts and tributes at the age of selection, filial piety, and those who discuss come first."

It means that Liaodong is still regarded as a minister of the Great Wei, and should not be attacked lightly. If it is a crusade and cannot be controlled, it will drive the courtiers into thieves.

At present, Shu and Wu are the current major enemies, and they must be dealt with with all their strength. As long as these two enemies can be eliminated, Liaodong will be at peace.

"If you make one action easy, gaining its people is not enough to benefit the country, and gaining its wealth is not enough to make it rich; if it is not satisfactory, it will be to cause grievances and break trust."

Even if it can be conquered in one fell swoop, taking the people of Liaodong is not enough to benefit the country, and the wealth of Liaodong is not enough to enrich the country, but if it fails, it will be resentful to Liaodong.

Furthermore, Liaodong did not openly rebel, but His Majesty openly crusade against it, and there is a fear of dishonesty in the world.

Cao Rui had expected the reaction of the officials, and he was not moved at all.

In the current situation where the foundation is unstable, it is necessary to divide the land of the aristocratic family inside to win the hearts of the people and strengthen the power of the country.

Either the people and the territory are broadened to the outside world, and they show off their might to establish the king's prestige.

The former is too difficult and takes too long. It is lucky to see results in ten years.

Even if Cao Rui can wait until then, how can Shu Wu make him wait at ease?

How could those aristocratic families be obedient and give up their land to Guishou?

Although the latter is more difficult, it is much easier than the former.

Shu and Wu should not be moved lightly. Could it be that the land of Liaodong should not be moved?

Besides, Liaodong is connected with the state of Wu now, so this is not a rebellion against Wei, so what is rebellion?

It was also because of the great defeat of the Wei Dynasty and the decline in prestige that Liaodong was given the courage to move around.

If Liaodong is not punished, who will pay attention to Wei in the future?

Cao Rui is impatient and fierce, and Wei Nai accepted the abdication from the Han Emperor and thought he was orthodox in the world, so how could he be humble and be laughed at by the world?

Therefore, it is impossible to take the initiative to endure after being bullied by Wu like the Shu Kingdom did a few years ago.

In the sixth year of Taihe, that is, the tenth year of Jianxing, in August, Cao Rui's edict reached the hands of Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou.

After Wang Xiong received the edict, he did not act immediately, but sent a post to invite someone to come.

"The envoy called me here, but is there something wrong?"

On the second day, a dusty man entered the governor's mansion and saluted Wang Xiong.

The visitor was none other than Han Long who had left Liangzhou.

Wang Xiong put a smile on his face when he saw Han Long:

"Qianyong, come on, come on, sit down!"

Personally supported Han Long to take the seat, and asked someone to bring tea, Wang Xiong asked affectionately:

"I only heard about the return of Yong from outside the Great Wall two days ago. How is it? This trip went smoothly?"

Han Long nodded and answered:

"If you have to work hard to make you worry about it, it will be considered smooth."

There are many generous people in Yanzhao. Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, most of the celebrities in Hebei had friendship with heroes, and even had the habit of raising rangers.

Although after the chaos, rangers have become less and less common.

But this trend still exists.

As the governor of Youzhou, it is not surprising that Wang Xiong can have a close relationship with Han Long.

"I know how to dispatch brave people and know the situation outside the Great Wall. I invite you here this time, just to ask, can the barbarians outside the Great Wall still be safe?"

"Over the years, the envoy has shown kindness and trust to the Hu people, and adopted a strategy of appeasement. The Hu people have rarely entered the fortress to plunder, so how can there be any restlessness?"

The former Karasuma school Wei Tianyu in Youzhou suppressed the Hu people outside the Great Wall in order to avoid the danger of Tan Shihuai.

Often sow discord among the Hu people, making them hate each other and attack and kill each other.

Wang Xiong believed that Shu and Wu were the great enemies, and advocated appease the Hu people so that they would not disturb the border.

As for whose claim is better, Han Long thinks he is not qualified to make more comments.

"It's just the envoy. This time when I went out of the fortress, I found that Hu Chief Kebi Neng wanted to swallow the tribes of Xianbei in the east."

"If it succeeds, it will be owned by him as far as Liaoshui in the east and Bingzhou in the west."

"Also, Ke Bi Neng is the leader of a party. If he is allowed to grow and his ambitions grow, I am afraid that he will have a heart of disobedience!"

Wang Xiong heard this, his eyelids twitched slightly:

"Ke Bi Neng has ambitions for Liaodong Xianbei?"

Han Long nodded: "That's right, I heard that he is now reorganizing his army and intends to go east in September."

Bitch!

Wang Xiong couldn't help cursing secretly.

He was at odds with Tian Yu, and squeezed Tian Yu away on the grounds of disturbing the border, which did not mean that he was blindly tolerant of the Xianbei Hu people.

As the governor of Youzhou, he can't be a fool.

Yi Di and his ilk are fearful of power but not virtuous.

If Ren Ke is stronger than Neng, he really wants to turn back Youzhou, and if he proposes to appease the Hu people at that time, he may be implicated.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiong's face couldn't help but gloomy.
