Chapter 29 1. Spring of the Sima family

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the brothers Cao Shuang handed over all their positions and were dismissed from office.Everything seemed to be at peace. However, only three days later, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the servants and slaves in Cao Shuang's mansion went to the court to report all the previous bad deeds of Cao Shuang brothers.Tingwei's office played Shangshutai and Zhongshuxing: "Huangmen ordered Zhang Dang to steal from Cao Shuang by the former emperor's talent and talent, suspected of adultery." The young emperor Cao Fang ordered a thorough investigation, and Zhang Dang was thrown into the prison for interrogation.Zhang Dang broke out a shocking confession: "Cao Shuang and Shang Shu He Yan, Deng Yang, Ding Mi, Sili Xiaowei Bi Gui, Jingzhou Inspector Li Sheng and others conspired against each other, and they must be released in mid-March." The serious crime of "usurping the throne" has far exceeded the scope of "no king and no way" promised by Sima Yi, Jiang Ji, Gao Rou and others at the beginning.Therefore, the young emperor Cao Fang personally went to the hall to preside over it, and the empress dowager participated behind the curtain, and convened the officials of the third rank and above in Beijing to discuss the court meeting.In the end, the court council jointly decided to take Cao Shuang brothers, He Yan, Deng Yang, Bi Gui, Li Sheng, etc. to prison, impeach them for treason, and join Zhang Dang with the barbarians.

At the same time, Da Si Nong Huan Fan was also detained by Tingwei for framing Sima Yi for "rebellion". He will be tried on a date. In the process of thoroughly investigating and punishing Cao Shuang's faction for treasonous crimes, someone exposed Taishi Ling Guan Ren who fabricated evil words to flatter Cao Shuang and help the evildoers.The most important evidence is that Guan Ren once used the hexagram "Qian" to predict that Cao Shuang would be "nine five dragons fly, benefit the adults", and whitewashed and advocated the crimes of Cao Shuang's faction with "Shenwu is promoted, Wang Dao is prosperous".

Guan Ren didn't take it seriously, and carefully analyzed the divination of "Qian" in Cao Shuang's mansion in front of senior ministers such as Taifu Sima Yi, Taiwei Jiang Ji, Situ Gaorou, Weiwei Guo Zhi, etc. meaning.He said: "The word 'adult' is the most critical in the eight characters of the hexagram 'Flying dragon is in the sky, benefit to see adults'. The word 'adult' means 'big among men', with virtue and talent, just like a flying dragon in the sky. , Enze Bahuang, can make the Great Wei "Shenwu Shengjian, Wangdao Changming". So, in today's world, who can be called an "adult"? As far as we know, Sima Taifu's name is "Zhongda". The implication of the hexagrams is consistent! Therefore, the meaning of Guan Mou is actually implying that Sima Tai Fu Fang is the "Master" who "governs the country and secures the country, promotes the prosperity of the gods, and prospers the king", and is by no means a conspiracy like Cao Shuang. only."

Naturally, there were no omissions in his explanation - instead of being condemned and condemned, he was promoted to a higher level and was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei by the imperial court. Sunshine and dust fell together from the wooden frame of the prison window, swirling like countless tiny bugs. Sima Yi half sat and half lay on the black painted chariot, and was carried in by six personal soldiers.After the black-painted chariot settled down, he waved his hands lightly.The soldiers understood and retreated quietly. In front of him, Huan Fan with disheveled hair was sitting in a pile of straw against a stone wall, looking straight at him with a pair of bright sword-like eyes.

"Brother Huan, don't you even listen to Brother Hu Zhao's advice?" Sima Yi's voice lost its usual fortitude and concentration, and became sour. The four words in blood were scribbled by you in a moment of confusion, so Yi let Gao Rou and Lu Yu save you from the crime of "framing others and rebelling against others"..." "Sima Zhongda! These four words, Huan not only wrote them on the blood book, but also engraved them in the history slips!" Huan Fan gave him a sideways look, still as if he was in Luhun more than 40 years ago. In the "Ziyuan Academy" of Shanlinglonggu, he preached the same awe-inspiring way as when he was arguing, "Do you think that you can deceive all the scholars and people of the Great Wei by doing it without anyone noticing it? Yes, now Everyone praises you as an outstanding hero of 'the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, punishing the rebellious ministers, and the leader of the court', but can you deceive yourself? Can you deceive the gods?"

Sima Yi lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "You should have heard that Brother Cao Shuang planned to concoct the auspicious miracle of 'six zhis with the same root, and abundant springs emerge' in Gaoping Mausoleum in order to deceive the world and usurp the country? You should also know that Cao Shuang's group committed crimes. Do you commit all kinds of crimes such as stealing imperial property, raping the former emperor's talents, accepting tribute from the vassal state, selling officials to accept bribes, etc.?" As he said that, he took out from his bosom the purple gauze edict that Cao Fang entrusted Zhonghui to bring out on the night of the sixth day of the first lunar month, and lightly threw it in front of Huan Fan: "Take a look, the sixth day of the first lunar month On the night when Yi and other ministers rebelled, you tried your best to persuade Brother Cao Shuang to "serve the emperor to disobey the minister", but His Majesty himself has long regarded Cao Shuang as a traitor! What else do you have to say at this moment?"

Huan Fan took the purple gauze edict, looked at it carefully through the sunlight, was slightly taken aback, and then immediately smiled wryly.After a long time, he calmed down, and continued to say coldly: "Zhong Da, you are really powerful. What a trick of 'playing hard to get'! They were all deceived by you..." In an instant, Sima Yi's originally graceful and peaceful expression froze. "Cao Shuang's evil deeds, you can stop and eliminate them at any time." Huan Fan stared at him and said coldly, "It's not that you don't have the ability, but you never had the intention. Actually, You deliberately hid in the dark in advance and indulged the Cao Shuang brothers to run amok and pile up evil, and then when the time is right, you will eradicate them in the name of righteousness, and finally you, the Sima family, will completely monopolize the power! You just deliberately give All the scholars and people in the world have left the impression that apart from your Sima clan, even the relatives of the Wei family are not worthy of assisting in governing the country! Sima Zhongda! For this goal, you are really painstaking and tolerant, even pretending to be paralyzed All kinds of silly and ugly things have been played out."

"Enough!" Sima Yi interrupted Huan Fan's sarcasm with an angry shout, "In today's world, who can let me be promoted to the great martial arts of Huanghuang Wei and become king? Who can make me look down on Wu from Huanghuang Wei Shu, swallowing the world with anger? Who can make me return to my heart from far and near, and be attached to the shadows of the four directions?" Even Huan Fan, who had always been so deep-hearted, was shocked by his three questionings, and his complexion changed slightly! After Sima Yi finished drinking, he clutched his chest and panted fiercely, his face was flushed, and he just stared at Huan Fan.

Huan Fan was silent for a while, his eyes suddenly softened, and he said slowly: "Okay! You don't have to come again to persuade me to admit my mistake. Master Guan Ning once said in the past, 'The loyal man establishes integrity, the wise man makes meritorious deeds, Yue Li Jiang Xing, Each follows his own way.'You will be a wise man who has made great contributions to the world, and I will be a loyal man who will stand for thousands of years. You and I have our own place, how about it?" As soon as he said this, Sima Yi's expression of extreme grief and indignation suddenly shattered: "Brother Huan—why are you so stubborn? The current Wei family is not worthy of your loyalty to it. How did Brother Cao Shuang and the others treat him before?" Yours? If they could listen to your advice, how could they fall into such a catastrophe today?!"

"Zhongda, why do you push me too hard? Among the disciples of Mr. Xuantongzi Guan Ning, you are unmatched in terms of wisdom, but in terms of loyalty, I will do my part," Huan Fan pressed his fists on his knees, slightly He closed his eyes, "If I don't eat the salary of the Wei Dynasty, I will be fine. If I eat Wei Lu, I will swear to live and die with the Great Wei. You probably regret that you tried hard to recommend me to be an official in Wei, right?" Sima Yi sighed deeply, with a look of sadness overflowing. Huan Fan's eyes flashed open, he looked straight at him like a sword, and continued to speak bluntly: "Zhong Da, today you used deep cunning and deceit to sneak Wei Ding into the invisible, but aren't you afraid that you will suffer the same retribution in the future?"

Sima Yi's face froze, as if he remembered that someone said similar things many years ago, but at that time he was questioning Cao Cao from a distance, and he didn't expect Huan Fan to take this question to his heart directly today !After pondering for a long time, he finally decided to take this extremely sharp question head-on, sighed deeply, and answered solemnly: "Brother Huan, you asked a good question. Everyone in my Sima family will firmly remember you No problem. Don't worry—my Sima family will stand in place of Wei in the future, and the people of the world will be obedient, and the people of the world will be sincere, and the people of the world will be convinced. There is no objection! Choosing together is the real retribution!" Huan Fan also stared at him deeply: "Then, Huan is here to wish your Sima family an early pacification of Wu and Shu, unification of Liuhe, and a peaceful and prosperous world for all people in the world! Perhaps, only in this way can you be better than Wei Wei. Shi Zhuxiong has reached a higher level and reached the pinnacle! Only then can the people of the world be convinced, and there is no objection!" Hearing the words, Sima Yi was deeply moved, stood up from the black lacquered chariot, walked slowly to Huan Fan, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Senior Brother Huan, for your best wishes." Huan Fan slowly closed his eyes, and without opening them again, his tone became long and distant: "Zhongda, let's go. I will be in the underworld and sincerely look forward to your early realization of Master's year of "purging the world and benefiting the world". The will of Tianxia'..." "Brother Huan, here is Yi reciting the "On Loyalty" that you wrote back then to see you off!" Sima Yi fell on the floor and sang solemnly, "A husband who serves the king should do his best to be loyal and righteous. In times of crisis, even though the ground is smeared and the grass is moistened with ointment, you will not hesitate. Sincerely want to govern the people with peace and prosperity, spread the virtues, and make you a sage for a generation, and a good assistant for a lifetime. If you assist Qiancheng, you think about Guan and Yan, and when you assist the world, you think about Chouji and Yu. How can you be a man of seven feet who favors an official's nobility, greedy for the family's salary, and the view of glory and splendor..." While chanting, Sima Yi's voice gradually choked up, gradually sank, and gradually lowered.The teardrops finally fell down, and there was a crisp echo on the bluestone floor, floating in the endless void for a long time with his chanting voice, as if it was a clear voice that penetrated to the deepest part of history... "Father, here are a few things that need you to decide." Sima Zhao came in with a stack of papers and reported to Sima Yi, "The Tingwei Office and Sili Xiaowei's Mansion came to ask about Lu Zhi and other members of the former general's mansion. How should we deal with it?" Sitting on the couch, Sima Yi asked back, "Zhaoer, what's your opinion?" "In my child's opinion, it is better to forgive them all in the name of 'encouraging those who do things better', so as not to create a big prison and make people feel uneasy." "Well... Zhaoer, your thinking is getting more and more mature." Sima Yi nodded slightly, "This way, the soldiers and people in the world can understand that raising troops for the father's side of the emperor, and the leader of the court', only ask the crime of the culprit, and decide the crime. Don’t abuse those subordinates. Back then when Wang Yun punished Dong Zhuo, he committed the mistake of ‘generalizing the whole and killing innocent people indiscriminately’, which brought the chaos of Guo Si and Li Jue to the Han court! We must not repeat the same mistakes!” "Father, among the staff members of Cao Shuang's mansion, there is also such a person: his name is Wang Ji, a native of Donglai County, Qingzhou. He wrote "Time Essentials" to admonish him. Brother Cao Shuang closed his ears, and Wang Ji also resigned because the admonition was invalid. When Cao Shuang brothers were beheaded in Dongshi a few days ago, Cao's bureaucrats belonged to former officials. No one dared to go, but this Wang Ji went to the execution ground to see him off with wine and tears in spite of himself, and his mournful feelings moved everyone around him..." When Sima Yi heard what Sima Zhao had said, he couldn't help but patted his knees and shouted: "Okay! He is indeed a unparalleled national scholar! Zhaoer, you remember his name, and when the affairs of the court calm down, you can let the officials go." Investigate his daily behavior, ask Qingzhou Dazhong to write his adverbial statement, and immediately recruit him into the Taifu's residence as Cangcao Cao!" "Okay, my son remembered it. My son came here to report to you because he admired this person's disciplined advances and retreats, and his ability to deal with matters." Sima Zhao nodded and said, "My lord, this time, Cao Shuang will be punished." In the process of the brothers and three clans, another incident happened: Xiahou Lingnv, the wife of Cao Shuang’s cousin Cao Man, was previously widowed and childless, and her father wanted to persuade her to remarry. Cut off both ears to swear, and then lived in Cao's mansion as a husband and widow. Now that Cao's mansion has collapsed, his family has written a letter stating that he will never marry, and will forcefully welcome Xiahou Ling's daughter back, and will marry her again. But Xiahou Ling's daughter pretended to agree , but sneaked into the dormitory, cut off his nose with a knife to make his appearance ugly, and his blood flowed all over his face, which was horrible. His father's family was shocked and mourned, and he said: "Life in the world is like light dust inhabiting weak grass ears! Why do you suffer from it?" Naier? Besides, your husband’s family has been wiped out, who will do what you want to do?’ The girl replied: “I heard that the benevolent will not change their festivals with prosperity and decline, and the righteous will not change their hearts with survival. When the Cao family was prosperous before, it was still If you want to be a husband, a widow and a widow, how can you bear to abandon it now that it is declining? How can I do this beastly behavior?!'” Sima Yi listened quietly, but the circles of his eyes slowly turned red: "Good! Good! Good! This privet festival is so touching, it should be engraved on a monument!" "But...you don't know, my lord, that when the daughter of Xiahou returned to her mother's house after the fall of Cao's house, she secretly brought a child from Cao's house... According to Zhong Huijun's unannounced visit, the child she took away may be Cao Shuang The evil son of one of the brothers. After she secretly kept her husband's family in the name of keeping the festival, her intentions are really deep! Father, do you think it is necessary..." Sima Zhao stretched out his palm and made a volley. chopping action. "No need." Sima Yi wiped his eye sockets with a towel, and said calmly, "Zhao'er! She is of extraordinary character and deserves extraordinary treatment. This Xiahouling privet is extraordinary, and I respect her deeply! Even if she really adopted Brother Cao Shuang's youngest son, let her do it! By amputating the ears and cutting the nose to make a clear promise, in exchange for the survival of my husband's family line, it is really shocking! My Sima family Self-proclaimed as the future master of the world, with a mind of the whole world and the world, how can he not tolerate such a chaste and martyr?" "Father, you have taught me the right thing." Sima Zhao blushed, and hastily admitted his mistake, "The child's heart was so hot and violent at the moment, and his murderous intentions were too strong, so that he disobeyed morals and ungrateful righteousness. It is really a mistake." Only then did Sima Yi calm down, and said in a slow voice, "Zhaoer, morality, righteousness, and righteousness are a treasured talisman. A man cannot lose his virtue, and heaven cannot kill him. God does not bless him, man does not help him, and his ancestors do not bless him! You must keep it in mind!" Sima Zhao lowered his hands and nodded, not daring to say more. "Anything else?" Sima Yi asked again. "There is news from Guanzhong that Xia Houba, the guard of Shu and the governor of Liangzhou, has abandoned his ancestors and treason three days ago and fled to the puppet Shu." Sima Zhao continued to report. "Oh? Unexpectedly, Xia Houba claimed to be brave and crowned Guanlong, but he was so greedy for life and fear of death when things came to an end?" Sima Yi smiled lightly, "Forget it, let's not talk about him. Then, what about Xia Houxuan, General Zhengxi?" "Xia Houxuan has already resigned from the position of General Zhengxi, and asked to enter Beijing to serve as a close servant." Sima Zhao reported generously, "My lord, Xia Houxuan has invited me to Beijing, does it mean that he still wants to defend Wei with all his heart?" Shi, loyal to the Wei Dynasty?" "Okay! Let's accept his invitation—let him enter Beijing to take up the position of Dahonglu!" Sima Yi said leisurely, stroking his white beard and beard, "Xiahouxuan can do things like his uncle Xiahouba. Such betrayal of the emperor and the ancestors and fleeing to the enemy's country, after all, is still full of vigor and admiration! Back then, Cao Mengde's mind could hold Liu Bei and Guan Yu, how could the members of Sima's family be inferior to him?" When Luoyang City came back to life, winter had already passed. After Cao Shuang's faction was wiped out, Great Wei was already another world.Although the year name of the Wei family is still hanging (but in order to celebrate the destruction of Cao Shuang's party, Cao Fang has changed the "Zhengshi" year name to "Jiaping" year name), many people know that the Sima family in Hanoi has already grown its wings. Almost covered the entire sky! As soon as February arrived, all civil and military officials "unanimously" jointly petitioned for Taifu Sima Yi to be named prime minister and gift Jiuxi in recognition of his meritorious service to the country.Today's Majesty fully approved this memorial at the first time, and ordered Taichang Wang Su to hold the imperial edict to appoint Sima Yi as the first prime minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, and added four counties of Fanchang, Yanling, Xinji, and Fucheng in Yingchuan County , Add 20,000 households, and the officials are not allowed to name them, just like the story of Huo Guang in the former Han Dynasty.Accompanied by this unprecedented canonization activity, there is a vigorous rise of rumors.Someone analyzed the foreign object that was born in the sky when the late emperor was alive—the 24-character prophecy on the Linggui Xuanshi, "Heaven's destiny has a change, and Cao Yan is greatly punished. "Noon will change" actually refers to the sudden rise of the Sima family's power, which is at the height of the sky; and the four words "greatly challenge Cao Yan" fully confirm the great achievements of Sima Yi and his son in defeating the rebel Cao Shuang's faction this time!Naturally, what follows next is the fulfillment of the prophecies such as "the destiny will change, the prosperity will be prosperous, and the ritual will change" one by one... However, Sima Yi's own letter of condescension brought all this noise to an abrupt end: "The old minister has taken care of his life, and he is deeply concerned about his responsibility. Relying on the power of God, he destroys the culprits and atones for his sins. His merits are not worth mentioning. Officials, made by the holy kings, are the ceremonies. As for the position of the prime minister, it started from the Qin Dynasty, and the Han family has not changed because of it. Now the three officials are all prepared, and they will restore the favored ministers. The scriptures, following the road of the Qin and Han Dynasties, although there are strangers, the ministers should be upright; moreover, if you are a minister and do not insist on fighting, what will the four parties call a minister?" At the same time, Sima Yi also desperately wanted to add nine ceremonies to himself. Resignation: "In the past, the Taizu Emperor Wu had great merits and virtues, and the Han family respected him, so he added the gift of Jiuxi. This is a strange thing in the past dynasties, and it is not something that the monarchs and ministers of later generations can discuss." After repeated "see-sawing" of "ten seals and ten concessions", Sima Yi finally reluctantly accepted some awards: he was ordered to build a Sima's temple in Nanfang, Luoyang, to commemorate his ancestors publicly, and to be accepted by the world. The incense of the scholars and the people is enshrined; in Taifu's mansion, there is a special history of left and right, and there are more than ten officials and housekeepers. After his meritorious deeds were awarded, all the ministers and bureaucrats who followed him to defeat Cao Shuang's faction also received rewards from the court: Taiwei Jiang Ji was granted the title of Marquis of the capital, and seven hundred households in the city were added; Situ Gaorou was granted the title of Marquis of Long Live, and There are seven hundred households in the town; Wang Guanjin, the crown servant, is granted the title of Marquis of Bailiting and concurrently serves as Minister of Duzhi; Guo Zhi of Wei Wei is promoted to the general of chariots and riders, and the number of households in the town is increased by 600; Sima Fu was granted the title of Yushi Zhongcheng, adding 500 households; Sima Shi was promoted to General Wei, in charge of the troops inside and outside the capital, and was granted the title of Marquis of Changping Township, with a thousand households in Shiyi; Sima Zhao was promoted to Lieutenant of Sili Sima Wang, the heir of Sima Fu, was promoted to be the leader of the Central Army, and the number of households in the city was increased by 600; Hui will be promoted to be a regular servant of Sanqi and the chief Yilang of Da Nei, adding 300 households in the town; Yin Damu will be promoted to the order of Huangmen, adding 200 households to the town.As for Jia Chong, Wei Lie, Pei Xiu, Wang Yun, Wang Kai, etc., they also have their own rewards. By this time, almost everyone understood that the summer of the first year of Jiaping was already destined to be the summer of Sima's faction. "Sizong, I heard that Taifu Sima is asking you to comment on the "Book of Filial Piety"?" In a small teahouse in the corner of Luoyang City, Shan Tao asked Ruan Ji while sipping green tea, "He also sent a copy of the "Book of Filial Piety" Shu Zhengzhao Shan also came to work with you!" "Master Taifu really attaches great importance to the way of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness—Juyuan, do you know? He sent Mr. Wang Xiang from Wen County The post of county magistrate has been promoted to be a senior farmer, this kind of method of "selecting talents and virtues" is quite a legacy of the great Han!" Ruan Ji did not drink tea, but grabbed the gourd he carried with him and drank the wine, "Don't Seeing that Master Taifu is such a rigorous and upright person, in order to annotate this "Book of Filial Piety" well, he did not hesitate to condescend and condescend, and specially asked Zi Shangjun to send ten jars of Xiyi wine to reward Ruan ..." "So, what about you, Shu Ye? Are you willing to join us in the Grand Tutor's Mansion to do this important event of annotating the scriptures?" Shan Tao turned his gaze to Ji Kang again. "Me? I suddenly have no interest in these things." Ji Kang held the teacup in his hand and turned it around.His whole person looked deserted, as if he was a little extra thin. "Shu Ye——Sima Taifu's father and son have always distinguished between public and private, and are impartial. Although you are the prince's consort of the Wei family, and He Yan's nephew and son-in-law, they will definitely favor and reuse you regardless of suspicion." Shan Tao tried to persuade Ji Kang again. "Well... I have already thought about it. I have a piece of Susukida in the countryside. I will build a hut next to it. I will go there to retire in a few days." Ji Kang put down his teacup, propped his chin with his hand, and looked at him leisurely. The distant mountains and green fields outside the window of the teahouse. "Hey..." Ruan Ji spit out a sip of wine, splashing the head and face of the opposite Shan Tao, "Shu Ye—why do you think like this? You actually went to live in seclusion so early?" Ji Kang nodded seriously, showing a childish smile: "Yes, I really want to retire." Shan Tao didn't care about disputes with Ruan Ji, and while wiping the drink from his face, he urged hastily, "Shu Ye! How old are you, and you are in the early spring of your blood, so why are you thinking of retiring? " "Isn't that good?" Ji Kang stared at the empty wine glass in front of him, and said with emotion, "Look at my uncle, before he took power, he behaved, acted, and composed, how unrestrained, elegant, peaceful and ethereal he was. , but as soon as he became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he changed his appearance and almost forgot his origin. I can't follow in his footsteps!" "Shu Ye! How can you compare with He Yan?" Ruan Ji looked serious, "You are not like him! There is still a lot to do." "Sizong and Juyuan, as your close friends, I am also very happy that you can enter the shogunate of Sima Taifu. After all, Sima Taifu and his son have great ambitions and swallow the world, and their shogunate is exactly where heroes with lofty ideals make contributions. The best destination." Ji Kang also replied sincerely, "As for me, Ji Kang, whether it is my family background or my own temperament and style, perhaps it is no longer suitable for me to wander around in the officialdom of the Great Wei at this time. Just let me live, don't try to persuade me again! Let me be a happy, unrestrained little citizen, okay?" As soon as Ji Kang said these words, Shan Tao and Ruan Ji were stunned, they looked at each other, but they were speechless. At that table in the other corner of the teahouse, there were a couple of tea drinkers who looked like husband and wife.The man lowered the round hat on the top to the tip of his eyebrows, and his face was lowered to the table, so that others could not see his true face.The woman was also dressed in a commoner dress with light makeup, her hair was half rolled up in a bun, and her face was facing the sky, but she was lifelike and had a sultry charm.She glanced at Ji Kang's side with sparkling eyes, lowered her head, and sighed lightly: "This person has a thorough understanding of all kinds of things in the world. He knows the benefits of being a happy, carefree and unrestrained citizen... ..." The man didn't answer, but reached out his hand from under the table, and patted her jade palm lightly: "Ying'er, let's hurry up after drinking tea. There are many people at the foot of the emperor and the most important place in the capital." Miscellaneous, only by walking out quickly will you see the heights of the sky and the vastness of the earth." The woman responded softly, picked up the cup of green tea and put it to her lips, a drop of crystal clear tears "thumped" down, making slight ripples on the water surface of the teacup, mixed with how many vicissitudes of life were overturned. Thumping joy... However, can Sima Taifu and his son really give them a happy and carefree future, as they promised, and even give Ji Kang who is sitting next to them—these "little people who have escaped into the world"? Maybe, their father and son should be able to do it?That woman and that man, that is, Shi Shi and Sun Qian, seem to be able to hope so much at this moment. "Thank you, Mr. Huang, for your promotion, Mr. Taifu." Yongzhou don't drive Huang Hua to bow down to Sima Yi, "I'm afraid that Mr. Huang will not be able to fulfill the post of governor of Yanzhou." "If you can do it, don't refuse!" Sima Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile. "My lord Taifu, the former governor of Yanzhou, Lord Linghuyu, is the nephew of Zhendong General Wang Ling. Huang suddenly went to replace him, I don't know what the general Wang wants?" Huang Hua finally put his worries in his heart Qiqi Ai pointed out. "It doesn't matter. You should know that your old boss, General Guo Huai, is General Wang Ling's brother-in-law. I have ordered Guo Huai to write a very meaningful letter of introduction to Wang Ling for you, to help you All kinds of communication and foreshadowing have been made with Wang Ling in advance. Wang Ling should not have any prejudice against you. As for Linghuyu, I want to transfer him to Beijing to take up such an important position as the right servant of the Ministry of Officials. And I won't resent you for taking his job as governor. You can go to Yanzhou to take up the job without worry!" After hearing Sima Yi's words, Huang Hua felt at ease.With a happy expression on his face, he said gratefully: "Since Master Taifu has made such thorough arrangements for Huang, how dare Huang refuse to follow his orders?" Sima Yi nodded slowly, and said solemnly: "Huang Jun, after you arrive in Yanzhou, you must make good friends with Yanzhou and Yang Kang. If you get along well with him, you will be safe and sound in this big Yanzhou. I can sit still." "Yang Kang? Alright, Mr. Huang has remembered what Master Taifu told you." Huang Hua nodded repeatedly. "There is one more thing. Recently, there has been such a false rumor in the south of Yanzhou: 'The horses appear in the White Horse River, with hooves as big as the beach of Douyin. When they pass by the officials and herdsmen at night, all the horses should follow like clouds.' There is such a rumor: "The white horse is riding south and west, and whoever rides it will be ridden by Zhu Hu." Huang Hua, after you arrive in Yanzhou, you will secretly investigate their ins and outs for me, but remember not to vent it lightly. Don't startle the snake!" Sima Yi ordered again solemnly. Huang Hua heard him speak so earnestly, and replied solemnly: "Please rest assured, Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang will follow orders." At this time, Sima Yi smiled deeply again, took out the Yin-Yang Hunyuan Pot that was seized from Cao Xun's mansion that day from the desk drawer, held it in his palm, and said to Huang Hua: "Mr. Huang—this golden pot contains Your Majesty's Chuang En specially bestowed on Linghuyu the best wine, I will let the right chief of Taifu's mansion, Mr. Shi Niuheng, take it to accompany you to Yanzhou Shepherd's Mansion to meet Linghuyu, present it to him face to face, and invite him to be in public Drink this jug of wine to thank Shengen. After he receives this gift from you on behalf of the king, he will be very grateful to you." Although Sima Yi's voice sounded very gentle and plain, for some reason, Huang Hua faintly smelled an indescribable biting chill.He raised his eyes to look at the purple gold jug, and saw the embossed dragon on the handle, which seemed to be convulsed and twisted, and a pair of "dragon eyes" inlaid with pearls protruded and stared at him, as if it was dying The miserable situation of struggling before!
