Chapter 48 Chapter Forty-Six Fighting Poison with Poison

Stealing a coin is called a thief, and winning a country is called a hero. At that time, the central government of Chang'an must have been ineffective, but the praise and praise in the world were also very strange. Cao Cao lost his city and was famined by locusts. He had no choice but to go on an expedition to Runan and Yingchuan. Taking the local grass bandits as his opponents, they robbed and plundered rampantly to overcome the hardships.However, when the incident spread to Chang'an, the imperial court rewarded him, saying: "Putting down the thieves has contributed to the stability of the place. The feudal moral general Fei Tinghou."

Cao Cao used this to restore his power in the local area, revive his prestige, and become more and more famous both at home and abroad.However, the central court remained unchanged, implementing the policy of counting every day as a day. Most of Chang'an was burned down by revolutionary fire the year before last.When Dong Zhuo, the brutal prime minister, was punished, people thought that he would have a new look.But later, Li Jue, Guo Si and others were appointed officials, still taking political affairs privately, filling their own pockets, arbitrarily implementing evil policies, and not self-disciplined.Therefore, the people complained and said: "One Dong Zhuo died, and the court has two more Dong Zhuo."

But no one complained loudly.The great Sima Li Jue and the great general Guo Si were supreme and overwhelmed all officials. There was a Taiwei named Yang Biao in the court.Once, he quietly approached Emperor Xian with Zhu Jun, and said: "If things go on like this, the future of the country will be worrying. It is said that Cao Cao now has more than 100,000 troops in the local area, and there are as many good generals and counselors under his account as stars. Use him to destroy the treacherous party entrenched in the temple. How?... Needless to say, I and other courtiers who are full of worries, all people are also lamenting the current evil government..."

They secretly persuaded Emperor Xian to kill the second traitor. Emperor Xian wept and said: "You don't need to say it. I have suffered from their two thieves for a long time. I endure the humiliation every day... If I can punish these two thieves, I will be like the people of the world, how happy I will be !How sad. Nothing can be done.” "No, there is no plan. As long as His Majesty makes up his mind..." "How to kill the second thief?" "The minister has a plan in mind. Guo Si and Li Jue stand side by side, and they can plan to make the two thieves bite each other and betray each other, and then give Cao Cao a secret order to kill the two thieves."

"Is it possible?" "I have self-confidence. The strategy is this: Guo Bang's wife is a famous jealous woman, so I plan to take advantage of her jealousy and plan against Guo Bang's family first. I think it will probably not fail." After learning the emperor's inner thoughts, Yang Biao went home and pondered the secret plan all the way.As soon as he got home, he came to his wife's room, put his hands on his wife's shoulders, and turned into a gentle husband who was completely different from usual, and said: "How is it, do you still meet Mrs. Guo Si often recently?...you guys Don't the ladies have all kinds of parties?"

Yang Biao's wife felt strange and teased her husband, "What happened to you today?" "What's wrong?" "You don't usually flatter me like this." "Ha ha ha ha……" "It gives goosebumps instead." "yes?" "There must be something to ask of me." "As expected of my wife. In fact, you are right. I need to rely on you for something." "What's up?" "I heard that Mrs. Guo Si is a jealous woman, no less than you..." "Ah, when have I ever been jealous!?" "So, I didn't talk about you. It was Mrs. Guo Si."

"Let you live with such a jealous wife, you can't stand it." "You are a good wife. I am always grateful." "A net deceit!" "I'm not joking. Find a chance to visit Mrs. Guo Si, and use your mouth to ignite her strong jealousy." "Why do you want to make other people's wives jealous?" "For the country." "Just kidding again!" "It's true...in Dali, it's for the Han family, and in Xiaoli, it's for your husband Yang Biao." "I don't understand. How could such a dirty thing be for the court and my husband?"

"Borrow your ears..." Yang Biao lowered his voice and explained to his wife the secret discussions and secret plans in his heart. Yang Biao's wife's eyes were wide open, and she hesitated at first, but she looked up at her husband's eyes, "swipe" once, showing terrifying determination, and said, "Okay, I'll try!" Yang Biao wanted his wife to take responsibility, so he told him: "What are you trying?! A meek determination will not work. If you fail, you will destroy the nine clans. If you want to become a poisonous woman, do it skillfully!"

the next day.Yang Biao's wife put on a fancy dress and went out in a gorgeous sedan chair to visit the wife of General Guo Si. "Oh, you always give me such a precious gift..." Mrs. Guo Si first thanked the precious gift, and then praised the guest's clothing and make-up, saying, "Your clothes are so beautiful!" "Where is there! My husband never cared about my clothes. On the contrary, Madam's hair is combed very well and looks so beautiful. I am not flattering. There are not many people who make people feel beautiful when they meet each other... But, this man what……"

"Ah, why are you crying while looking at my face?" "No, no, nothing..." "But, it's very strange. There must be something. Don't hide it from me. Tell me. Can't you tell me?" "I can't help but shed tears, please forgive me, madam..." "What's the matter, exactly?!" "Then let me tell you, really, keep it a secret from everyone." "Okay. No one will tell." "Uh, actually... I looked at Madam's face, and felt that Madam was very pitiful, and didn't know anything..." "Oh? You mean I'm pitiful?...Poor, what's going on?...Ah? Ah?" Mrs. Guo was already anxious, forcing Yang Biao's wife to continue.

Yang Biao's wife pretended to be sympathetic and said, "Really, madam, don't you know anything?" The voice was lowered, as if saying something terrible. Mrs. Guo Si has fallen into the trap of her clever words. "I don't know anything... I don't know what? Could it be related to my master?" "Hey, yes... Madame, please bury it in your heart. You know Li Da Sima's famous young and beautiful wife?" "Li Jue and my husband are close friends, and I am also very close to his wife." "So, Ma'am, you are so kind, and everyone feels sorry for you. That Mrs. Li and your General Guo have already been... special..." "What? My husband and Mrs. Li?" Guo Si's wife's face suddenly changed, and she asked tremblingly, "Is... is it true?" Yang Biao's wife leaned over, put her arms around her and comforted her: "Ma'am, men are like that, don't blame your husband. I only hate Mrs. Li. I know you, why do you have to do that..." Mrs. Guo burst into tears, and said: "No wonder I feel that my husband is a bit strange recently. He often comes back very late at night, and he is not happy with me..." After Yang Biao's wife went back, Mrs. Guo locked herself in the house like a patient.Unfortunately, it was very late that night, and her husband came home slightly drunk. "What's the matter? Hey, your face is pale." "I don't know! Hit me." "Sick again? Hahahaha..." "..." Madam carried her back, sobbing all the time. Four or five days later, Li Jue Da Sima Mansion sent an invitation.Mrs. Guo blocked her husband's way, her face changed drastically, and she stopped her: "Don't go! Don't go to that kind of place!" "Okay. What's wrong with going to a friend's banquet?" "But Sima Li must be resenting you in his heart." "why?" "No reason." "Unreasonable guy!" "I'll let you understand now. The ancients said that two males are not compatible with each other. Moreover, personally, he has no good intentions... If you are poisoned at a banquet, what shall we do?" "Hahahaha...you made a mistake." "You can say what you want. Don't go tonight. Oh, please." In the end, the wife threw herself into Guo Bang's arms and cried, but Guo Bang couldn't get rid of it, so she finally didn't go to the banquet. The next day, Li Jue's mansion specially sent someone to deliver dishes and snacks.Guo Si's wife let the visitor into the kitchen, took the food, intentionally poisoned a dish, and brought it to her husband. "It tastes good." Guo Si didn't mind, and picked up the chopsticks.Madam immediately blocked it, saying: "Your body is precious, and you don't test the food sent by other people to eat it. It's unreasonable!" After saying that, she took Guo Bang's chopsticks, picked up the dish, and threw it in the In the courtyard.The dogs in the yard pounced on it and ate it. "Oh?……" Guo Si was startled, seeing the dog spinning like a top, screamed, vomited blood and died. "Oh, it's scary!" Mrs. Guo leaned tightly on her husband, trembling exaggeratedly, "You see, it's not that the concubine didn't tell you that the dishes Li Sima sent were poisonous." "Oh, um..." Guo Si pondered for a while, and had no more words, just facing the facts in front of him blankly. After this happened, Guo Si finally became suspicious of Li Jue. "Ah, this guy?" Guo Si looked at Li Jue differently from before, always squinting at him in everything. After more than a month, Guo Si was about to leave the court once, and Li Jue insisted on inviting him, but Guo Si had no choice but to go to his house. "I have a little congratulation today, so I'm going to get drunk." As usual, Li Sima set up a table of extravagant delicacies, invited beautiful women to accompany the wine, and entertained Guo Bang. Guo Bang finally undressed and returned drunk. But halfway through the drunken sober.It's not because people are not drunk, but because they suddenly became alert and said: "The dishes tonight are not really poisoned, are they?" Before he knew it, he remembered the barking of the dog that died of poisoning before it died. "It's going to be okay..." As soon as I got nervous, my chest felt inexplicably sick, and suddenly rushed to my heart. "Ah, it can't be done!" He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his fingers, and ordered the coachman to say, "Hurry up! Hurry up!" As soon as he got back to the mansion, he hurriedly woke up his wife, fell on the couch with her face up, and asked, "Is there any antidote?" The wife asked about the situation, took the opportunity to let her husband drink feces juice instead of medicine, and stroked his back.Guo Bang, who was not poisoned but nervous, poured something strange in a hurry, and then suddenly vomited all the contents into the couch. "Oh, it's just in time, and the effect of the medicine is immediate. It's much better this way." "Ah, it was extremely painful just now!" "Life has been saved." "Unlucky..." "Husband, you are too. The concubine has repeatedly reminded you that you still believe in Da Sima Li, that's why this happened." "I already understand. I'm too willful and straightforward. Well, since Da Sima Li thinks so, I have my own considerations." Guo Si beat his pale forehead two or three times with his fist, then suddenly rushed out of the room, gathered troops overnight, and attacked Li Dasima's mansion at night. Someone quickly reported the matter to Li Jue.Li Jue said: "Then get rid of this person, I will take power alone. If that's the case, then come!" Because Li Jue was also fully prepared, the two armies fought in the streets. On the second and third days, they saw each other back and forth, blood flowed into rivers, and the streets and alleys became Shura fields. The two armies increased their troops every day, and there was a resurgence of chaos in the city of Chang'an. "That's right! Get the Son of Heaven..." In the chaos, Li Da Sima's nephew Li Xian noticed the Son of Heaven, so he hurried to the Dragon Throne, dragged the Son of Heaven and the Empress onto the dragon chariot without any explanation, and sent his counselor Jia Xu and general Zuo Ling to watch over him, ignoring the tears Shouting and shouting, the servants and officials who followed came out of the imperial palace through the gate of the rear governor with chariots, and came to the streets and alleys where arrows were flying. "The Son of Heaven was forced onto the imperial chariot by the nephew of Da Sima Li and robbed him." After hearing the urgent report from his subordinates, Guo Bang was very embarrassed, and said: "Ah, negligence! The emperor was robbed, and the matter is very important. That can't be done!" He hurriedly sent troops to Houzaimen, but it was too late. The dragon chariot was dragged by galloping horses and mad soldiers, kicked up yellow dust, and galloped towards the streets of Meiwu. Guo Bang's soldiers were in a commotion, shooting arrows in pursuit.However, the arrows shot back by the enemy's troops in the rear wounded many of his people. "Run away? Idiot! Damn it!" In order to vent the anger caused by his misstep, Guo Bang led his troops to invade the forbidden palace, beheaded the courtiers who were not compatible with each other, searched for the female officials of the harem and dragged them to his own stronghold. Not only that, but he set fire to the palace where there was no emperor and no political affairs to do. Looking at the flames, he shouted, "It's going to be a war anyway." on the other hand.The imperial chariots of the emperor and empress were dragged indiscriminately by Li Xian to Li Da Sima Village.But I was always worried about being placed there, so Li Jue, Li Xian's uncle and nephew discussed it and decided to let the emperor and queen move to the city of Meiwu.There is the other hall of Dong Xiangguo in the past, and the city is strong. From then on, Emperor Xian and the Empress were imprisoned in a private room in Meiwu City for more than ten days.There is no need to talk about the emperor's holy will, and he doesn't even have the freedom to go out. The imperial meals were really poor, and the food on the table smelled rancid. The emperor didn't move his chopsticks.The courtiers barely entered the mouth, and all of them suppressed vomiting, but looked at each other and wept. "The attendants are as thin as hungry ghosts. I feel uncomfortable seeing them. May you treat me with kindness and have mercy on them."
