Chapter 37 Three, persuasion

"The skin is like fat and jade reflecting the setting sun, the moon is like a cage of cold smoke in autumn water. The lips match the three spring flowers are bright, and the eyebrows gather the five mountains and green peaks..." Zhang Chunhua slowly recited this extremely rare seven-character poem Yuefu song, and suddenly stopped in the middle, and asked Xiahou Hui, who had been kneeling silently opposite her, "Hui'er, what do you think of this poem? " Xiahou Huiying replied: "The words and phrases in this poem are too prosperous and exaggerated, and instead it loses its aura and charm. It can't bear others to chew on it..."

"Hehehe... Did you know? This poem was written by Shi'er's father when he was young..." Zhang Chunhua glanced at her and smiled slightly. "Ah!" Xiahou Huifang's face changed color slightly. In her eyes, that father-in-law who has always been sitting upright and dignified, actually wrote such gorgeous and simple poems?It's unimaginable! She hesitated for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "My lord, your voice, face and smile back then can be said to be as lifelike and radiant as new in this poem by my father..." "You are wrong. The 'little lady' he described in this poem is not a mother." Zhang Chunhua slowly put down the poem scroll in his hand, with a somewhat complicated expression, "It's another woman."

Xia Houhui's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more. Zhang Chunhua raised his eyes and stared at the western sky for a long time before he said leisurely: "Hui'er, you are happy. Yesterday, Master, without telling his father, he secretly bought two flowers for you with the rewards he got for his meritorious service. Send back the 'white jade pendant inlaid with agate', a specialty of the Western Regions, it seems that he keeps you in his heart all the time..." Xia Houhui couldn't help showing a sweet smile on his face as he listened.

Zhang Chunhua secretly looked at all her expressions, and said lightly: "It is a great blessing for a girl to get the man she loves as her husband. Then, Hui'er—you are right as a teacher." Are you ready to give something out of your sincerity?" Xia Houhui was startled when he heard that, looked at Zhang Chunhua suspiciously for a moment, and replied politely: "The child repays Ziyuan, just like mother, you repay your father." "Oh? If you can think like this, it would be great." After Zhang Chunhua listened very carefully, he gave her a deep look.After a long while, she pushed out a shiny silver box from the back of her brocade cushion, and said slowly: "You should also know that Yuan Ji has recently become pregnant for Zhao'er. Hui'er, as her own sister-in-law, you should go to visit her, right? In order to pray for her mother and son, you took the "Yin King's Seal" handed down by my Sima family on behalf of your mother, and put it in her bedroom. How about on the incense altar?"

As she spoke, she slowly opened the silver box, either intentionally or unintentionally: a sapphire seal with flowing green light suddenly appeared, and the exquisite seal button was carved into a galloping tall horse, proudly Proudly want to leap out of the box! Seeing the divine horse seal button on the "Yin King's Seal", Xia Houhui's delicate body was shocked as if struck by lightning. The appearance of the "eight horses running together" is exactly the same, even the movements of raising their hooves and jumping their bodies are as one! This time, Xia Houhui was completely stunned—Zhang Chunhua's voice, which suddenly seemed distant and erratic, echoed in his ears: "The 'Yin King's Seal' of my Sima family has a great spirit, a great fortune, Yes——Wei Niang heard the concubines in the palace talk about how the pattern of eight horses was naturally formed on the back of the "Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone" of "Auspiciousness from Heaven" this time. But, I don't know Is it the 'horse' on the 'Spirit Turtle Profound Stone' that looks better, or the 'horse' on the Sima family's 'Yin King's Seal'? Hui'er, if you have time to enter the palace and take a look on your mother's behalf, Bring back the similarities and differences between the two to tell Wei Niang..."

Listening to Zhang Chunhua's words, Xia Houhui's bright pupils have gradually dimmed into a gray haze... ... Five days later, Xia Houhui died suddenly in the bedroom of Sima Mansion.Xia Houxuan personally brought eighteen imperial doctors to examine his condition, and concluded that worry hurts the spleen, heart qi stagnation, blockage, sudden collapse of accumulated sorrow, death of depression, no other difference. "Recently, the "Letter to Prime Minister Zhuge" written by the old thief Sun Quan has been 'fried' in the capital... Butler Yin, what do you think?"

Zhang Chunhua summoned the housekeeper Sima Yin and started talking in the secret room.After listening to the question, Sima Yin pondered and replied: "In my view, madam, you should not be too sensitive to that letter. In fact, Sun Quan's "Letter to Prime Minister Zhuge" is a strange 'double-edged sword' On the one hand, it can arouse the deep fear of the lord from the confidantes of the Wei family, and on the other hand, it can also arouse the deep awe of the unparalleled talents of the ruling and the public... In this sense, it is carrying out for the lord. Ingenious propaganda. It depends on how you guide properly, madam..."

Zhang Chunhua seemed to have realized something, and nodded slowly.She was quiet for a while, and then asked again: "Has Mr. Guan Ning agreed to be employed as the current Taiwei?" "Xuantongzi" Guan Ning is the common mentor of Sima Yin and Sima Yi in the "Ziyuan Academy" of Linglong Valley.When Zhang Chunhua mentioned him, Sima Yin immediately shrank away from the table and replied: "According to the subordinates who sent people to visit, Mr. Guan has been ill in bed since he came back from Liaodong by boat at the beginning of the year... It seems that it is difficult for him to apply for the job." Entered Beijing to work."

"After all, he was my master's mentor back then, and my master has always respected him very much. Naturally, my master is convinced and has no objection to him being the captain." Zhang Chunhua also said politely, "My wife It has been ordered that no one is allowed to obstruct Mr. Guan's application for being a Taiwei." "Yes. This subordinate would like to thank Madam and Master for their benevolent heart." Sima Yin kowtowed deeply on the floor, "Master's weapon is so open and open, it is truly worthy of being the hero of the world and the hero of the world. Hero!"

Zhang Chunhua stopped him with a wave of his hand, and continued to ask: "Qin Lang lost his teacher this time, humiliated the country and fled back to the capital. Have you found out what kind of punishment the court is going to give him?" Sima Yin reported cautiously: "According to the information found by my subordinates, the opinions of the Tingwei Office and Yushitai are to exile him for three thousand miles and demote him to the frontier of Youzhou as a commoner... However, this opinion was rejected by Shangshutai. Chen Lingjun stopped him, he wanted to remove Qin Lang from office and rank, and stay in Beijing to strictly control him."

"Chen Jiao's meaning is probably His Majesty's meaning?" Zhang Chunhua said slowly, "Hmph! They are so partial to these incompetent people! I'm afraid if it was my Sima family who died this time, Master's defeat, His Majesty and Chen Jiao might not let it go like this." "By the way! Ma'am, I would like to remind you that this Chen Jiao seems to be aiming to fight against our Sima family. The governor struggled for power, and even secretly instigated Wang Ling to write a letter attacking the governor of Manchuria for his 'drinking and anger, old age and infirmity, and greed for power' and it is not suitable to face the side for a long time... This matter is very troublesome in the Huainan area! Fortunately, Lord Sun Zi and Lord Liu Fang were able to protect the innocence of Man Dadu in front of His Majesty, and the storm was resolved. This Wang Ling is real. It is clear that there are Sun Quan and other enemies on the front line of Huainan. Fortunately, Man Dadu Lead Tian Yu, Wang Guan and others to fight to the death, and this is how to keep one side safe. If he Wang Ling really pushes away the Manda Governor, will he be able to defeat Sun Quan and Zhang Cheng with his ability?" Zhang Chunhua listened intently, thought for a long time, and said coldly: "Well... it seems that Chen Jiao and the others have used all means and reckless tactics to deal with our Sima family! Even such a random trick has been used. , How can I just sit idly by?" When Sima Yin heard this, his heartstrings tightened, and he respectfully asked: "In your opinion, madam, how should we deal with Chen Jiao?" Zhang Chunhua picked up a silver embroidery needle with his fingertips, and slid it down the silk picture of "Tianma Xingkong" that he embroidered, and said slowly: "The antelope sleeps at night and hangs its horns on the tree. Not touching the ground, no trace to be found!" Sima Yin's expression changed suddenly: "Madam, are you really going to kill me?" "It's better to pull out this nail early, lest he come up with some bad ideas there, which will harm people and harm the country!" "However, Taiwei Hua Xin and Sikong Chen Qun made things so difficult and excluded my General Sima, and General Sima held back..." "Yin steward—times change and things change, and things change and seek changes." Zhang Chunhua raised his eyes, and his cold light flickered, "A few years ago, Cao Wei still had important clan generals and ministers of foreign relatives as assistants. Our Sima family should not make enemies on all sides, so I have been holding back. Now Cao Wei has no power to restrain our Sima family. He is just a mere Chen Jiao, but he is just a mantis arm blocking the car. If he is removed, he will be eliminated-I will wait for General Sima to respond to the sky as soon as possible in the rear. The great cause of the Kaitai and Zen Dynasties of the Wei family cleared away all "stumbling blocks"! Besides, my wife heard the rumor that Chen Jiao actually wanted to persuade His Majesty to release all the clan and noble relatives from imprisonment, and summoned the king of Chu, Cao Biao. , King of Yan, Cao Yu, etc. are returning to Beijing to assist in the government... I can't let him make this pool of water in Luoyang more muddy..." Sima Yin nodded heavily and replied: "Madam's words are very true, Yin understands." He thought for a while, and asked: "How can we cut off this person without leaving traces or future troubles, please give me your instructions, Madam." "Did Chen Jiao have a feud when he was in the government and the opposition? It is the best policy to use his enemy's sharp blade to shovel it skillfully. If it is really impossible, he can only make it look like an accidental sudden death, so that people can't notice the abnormality." ... Ten days later, when Chen Jiao returned to his residence in Luoyang from Xuchang, he happened to see an old servant stealing from his room.The old servant was smashed face-to-face by him, and he was suddenly murderous, so he stabbed him to death with a knife, and then fled in a hurry with his treasure.Four days later, the old servant was arrested, confessed to all crimes and was tortured to death. Chen Jiao's sudden and dramatic death made Sima's last and most important opposition figure in Wei Ting smoothly eliminated.Since then, Cao Rui has never been able to openly contend with Sima Yi with a confidant who is enough to weigh him. "This Wang Ling! He's really not a thing! He dared to go to His Majesty to sue Ben Du for being black!" Man Chong slammed the teacup in his hand on the ground and shattered it into eight or nine petals, "He just arrived Huainan has been in charge of the army for a few days? Yesterday, the one who ran into Ben Du's meeting room to point fingers, the arrogance and arrogance of the school is really abominable!" His shogunate, Shi Lifu, sat on the side seat beside him and listened silently, but a pair of eyeballs shone brightly and kept turning from time to time.He was personally recommended by Sima Yi to Man Chong's sect as an aide four years ago.Over the past few years, Man Chong has been very satisfied with his right-hand assistance, and has already regarded him as his confidant "brain tank". After Man Chong vented his grievances in one breath, Li Fu said calmly and slowly: "Don't worry about the governor, as the saying goes, 'How can floating clouds cover the day? When the facts come to light, right and wrong can be revealed." Wang Ling's slanderous rumors How can the trick work! Zhongshu Sheng Sun and Liu have already clarified the past for you in front of His Majesty." "That's right! Thanks to Master Sun and Master Liu for ingeniously resolving it——ah! I really don't know how to thank them." Li Fu glanced at Man Chong, and smiled: "Great Governor, you should thank Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu. But the real 'noble man' standing behind Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu, you It seems to have been forgotten." "Oh? Li Changshi, are you talking about this governor's in-law--General Sima? How could this governor forget him? He and this governor have always been like a family. No matter how grateful the governor is, it seems to be true." Some are out of touch." "That's right! General Sima is the one who values ​​love and righteousness the most in his actions. 'See goodness as yourself, and help others as if you are going with the flow'. He has always been 'broadly giving favors without asking for anything in return'-Li has always admired him very much." !" Li Fu said slowly, "However, if there is a chance, Li believes that you, the governor, will repay General Sima wholeheartedly just like myself." "Of course." Man Chong said, but suddenly frowned tightly, "The governor thinks that this year's court seems to be more and more 'evil'! Li Changshi, what do you think--how is Wang Ling's behavior? Don’t Shangshutai and Zhongshusheng know about it? Your Majesty insists on sending him to Huainan! Then Shangshutai and Zhongshusheng should know about Qin Lang’s abilities! Your Majesty also insists on sending him to Guanzhong Sima What kind of 'guardian' did the general go to, but after a few rounds, he lost his teacher and humiliated the country..." Li Fu listened carefully to his every word, his eyes flickered with brilliance, he was determined, pretended to be thoughtful, and said insincerely: "So you, the governor, also found these things a little strange? " "Yes! It's indeed a bit strange." Man Chong nodded emphatically. Without saying a word, Li Fu got up and walked to the door of the study, stretched his head to look outside, and seeing that there was no one else, he closed the two wooden doors tightly.Then, under Man Chong's surprised and inexplicable eyes, he walked back slowly, and whispered to Man Chong's ear: "Governor, the piece of heavenly auspicious object that was openly displayed in the court recently - the stone on the 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone' Have you seen the pattern extension?" "I've seen it all." Man Chong nodded in response.Cao Rui, in order to declare the longevity of the Wei family and the country's well-being, is the fate of fate, and also distributed the "Spirit Turtle Xuanshi" pattern rubbings to the Mushou of the various states and counties for publicity and enlightenment. "There is a 24-character prophecy on the 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone', 'There is change in the destiny, and there is great plan; the golden horse is born, and the hooves are flying; the auspiciousness is prosperous, and the ritual is changed'. You should be familiar with it?" "Well... there is such a prophecy—what? Is there anything strange here?" Li Fu arched his hands, his face became extremely solemn: "You probably don't know, there is still a saying about the twenty-four-character prophecy on this 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone'-its original text The content is "There is a change in the destiny, and Cao Yan will be challenged; the golden horse will be born, and the hoof will rise to the clouds; the auspiciousness will be prosperous, and the Dianwu will change"! It was His Majesty who hated the shocking word "to beg", so people secretly tampered with it. The word ', also deceived oneself and said to the outside world, 'ji' has the same pronunciation as 'ji'. The so-called 'Da Ji Cao Yan' means 'Da Ji Cao Yan'..." Man Chong was startled suddenly: "There is such a thing?" Li Fu looked directly at him with electric eyes: "It's absolutely true." Man Chong is also a smart and wise person, he chewed secretly for a while in his heart, stood up with a "huh", and changed his face: "'There is a revolution in the destiny, and Cao Yan will be punished; a golden horse will be born, and its feet will soar to the clouds; , Dianwu will change'——the 'Golden Horse' in this prophecy... Who does the 'Golden Horse' refer to?" Li Fu's gaze became deeper and deeper: "Among the civil and military dynasties of the Manchu Dynasty, there were only a few people with the word 'horse' in their surnames——Didn't you guess it yet?" "There is a 'horse' in the surname? Could it be... is it... Ben Du's in-laws?" Man Chong's face suddenly turned pale, "This... can't be true, can it? " "The governor is really good at seeing opportunities first!" Li Fu stretched his words with a smile, "The 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone' is a natural auspicious auspiciousness; the twenty-four-character prophecy is a revelation from heaven, and that The different picture of "eight horses soaring into the sky" is an auspicious omen for the echo of heaven and man... How can all this not be true? Besides, General Sima is now unparalleled in his achievements and famous all over the world. The writing complements each other, and it deserves its name, and the sky is obedient to others!" "Shh! Silence! Silence!" Man Chong jumped up from the couch, desperately reaching out to press his mouth, "Li Changshi, if you continue talking, you will commit the crime of exterminating your family!" "Okay! Alright! Li won't talk about this anymore..." Li Fu hurriedly shook his head and shouted in a low voice.Only then did Man Chong let go of his hand, retreated to the mat and sat down in shock, his forehead was already dripping with cold sweat. "Great governor, these 'Heluo Books' and natural prophecies, Li naturally 'knows but does not speak' outside. But, can you guarantee that no one else will understand the mystery? With Li's Stupid, and still able to guess a thing or two, let alone those "superior people" around His Majesty? Now you understand why His Majesty tried to force a Qin Lang beside General Sima in Guanzhong? Why did he desperately want to Is Wang Ling by your side? To put it bluntly, he himself is afraid that the prophecy of "Heaven's destiny will change, and Cao Yan will be punished; the golden horse will be born, and the hoof will rise to the clouds; the auspiciousness will bring prosperity, and the Dianwu will change." This prophecy will become a reality. !" Man Chong's expression was gloomy, and he clapped his palms heavily on his knees: "Oh! I am exhausted physically and mentally in this vortex, so I might as well resign and return to Beijing, and enjoy the happiness like Zang Ba... " Li Fu's eyes flashed coldly: "The governor is standing in the important position at this moment, standing upright in the torrent, how can he easily retreat? According to Li's blunt words, your Man family and the Sima family are already married and integrated. If his Sima family In case something unexpected happens, how can your Man family stay out of the matter? At that time, it is absolutely impossible for you, Governor of Manchuria, to become a "happy man" like Zang Ba..." Man Chong has been listening very carefully, his face gradually changed.After pondering for a long time, he looked up at Li Fu, and said leisurely: "Li Changshi, to tell you the truth, in fact, the governor has long since realized that my in-law is definitely not a "thing in the pool" of the Great Wei. ...It's just that the governor has always been unwilling to admit it! Alas! Since the destiny and personnel affairs are so clear, the governor should follow the heavens and obey the people..." "Good! Good! Good! The governor is indeed worthy of being a generation of outstanding people who understand current affairs!" Li Fu clapped his hands and sighed, "Do you know? Right now Situ Dong Zhao, Sikong Cui Lin, Sanqi Changshi Wang Su, Tingwei Gaorou He Zeng, Huangmenling He Zeng and other famous officials have already contacted in secret. As soon as the news of General Sima's defeat of Zhuge Liang in Guanzhong comes, they will jointly persuade him to advance and ask the court to reward Sima with the gift of nine tins and the position of prime minister. General..." "Ah?" Man Chong was taken aback, it turned out that all the sages in Luozhong already had the meaning of Yingtian Zen Dynasty?It seems that Bendu's in-laws really deserved everyone's expectations... Now that he had set aside everything for Sima Yi in front of Man Chong, Li Fu said without any scruples: "This...is broken by your righteous heart, General Sima. Tired and successful, can’t they still not be worthy of the gift of Jiuxi and the position of prime minister? Dong Situ, Cui Sikong, and Lord Wang are also "preemptive moves" in line with the will of heaven. However, Li will talk about some issues here In foreign language, Zhuge Kongming is one of the people who can really do great things and achieve great things! In order to implement his plan of "playing hard to get" to force General Sima away, he did not hesitate to use the lives of nearly 10,000 soldiers under his command as bait , to lure Qin Lang into tricks at every step, and finally make a "complete comeback" and earn Qin Lang's 14,000 tigers and leopards to ride... High! This trick is really high!" Man Chong stroked his beard with his hand and listened quietly.He had already come to his senses at this moment, and thought to himself: This Li Fu is really a character!Sima Yi quietly recommended him to his side. On the surface, it was to assist him in the administration of the army, but maybe his secret mission was to lobby for today... Li Fu continued: "However, General Sima is also very powerful! He has already seen through Zhuge Liang's strategy of "using bending as stretching, and wanting to capture" one step at a time. Push Qin Lang to the front as his own 'shield'. He originally regarded Qin Lang and the 20,000 Tiger and Leopard Riders as dissidents, so he used Zhuge's hand to almost 'clean' them clean, and let others Can't catch anything." Man Chong sighed secretly.After Li Fu made this point, he also understood that the two great masters "fighting in the air" were really exciting: Zhuge Liang won in the end, and Sima Yi must also win in the end. Only the old Cao family Being played over and over again as pawns by others, in the end even the 20,000 Tiger and Leopard Riders were almost completely defeated! When he thought about this, his brows slowly frowned: "Of course my father-in-law is in Guanzhong, he is full of ups and downs, and Qin Lang has already been moved away by him... It's just that this governor is a bit stuck in his throat for this Wang Ling here! " Li Fu talked about this in a meandering way, just to draw out his words, and immediately said: "Don't worry about the governor——Li has already thought of a plan for you, and he will definitely be able to control Wang Ling more than enough." "What kind of restrictive method?" Man Chong's eyes lit up. Li Fu slowly twirled his beard with his fingers and pondered for a while, before he said: "It's really a bit of a disgrace for you to come out and confront Wang Ling in person. However, it's okay if you don't teach Wang Ling a lesson." No way. In Li’s view, you can use the strategy of attacking poison with poison to support Zhuge’s birth and restrain Wang Ling..." "Yanzhou Shepherd Zhuge Dan?! Well, he is a good hand-but, the governor is not familiar with him personally?" "General Sima is very familiar with him! When Zhuge Dan was in Luoyang, he used to be the secretary and servant of the censor under the command of the censor under the command of General Sima. His relationship with his cousins ​​Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang has always been neglected in the court. Later, General Sima recommended him based on the facts and defied all opinions, and then he was released as the shepherd of a state. Moreover, When he took office, Young Master Sima personally sent him out of the ten-mile long pavilion." Man Chong was horrified when he heard this: No wonder this Sima Yi created the destiny of "he deserves his name, and heaven obeys people"—it turns out that he has worked so hard to win people's hearts and cultivate wings in his daily life. True! Li Fu was still there and said eloquently: "So, you can safely and boldly support Zhuge Dan to restrain Wang Ling, the chief governor - he is one of us! How about this, Wang Ling dared to falsely accuse your majesty of your 'addiction to alcohol' So angry', when Li came down, he informed Zhuge Dan to impeach him severely with a copy of 'Arrogance, rudeness, greed for power'." Man Chong nodded quietly, and then sighed slowly: "Thank you, Li Changshi, for solving this 'internal trouble' for the governor. It's just that the 'foreign trouble' caused by Sun Quanxing's troops, according to my chief Shi Zhijian, look..." "You don't have to worry about this... the governor." Li Fu seemed to have a well-thought-out idea of ​​this question, and he answered eloquently, "Prefect Wang Guan has dragged Sun Quan's 100,000 troops under Hefei New City for two months—— Wu Lu's morale is now in decline. As long as we wait for another 20 to 30 days, after Tian Yu, Zhuge Dan, and Wang Ling's troops arrive in time, we can seize the opportunity of the Jiang Chao's autumn fall, and we will be able to attack with one blow, and we will be able to defeat Sun Quan. Outflank the periphery of Hefei New City in one fell swoop..." In the bedroom in the backyard of Situ Mansion, the candlelight was flickering, half-bright and half-dark, showing an inexplicable sense of mystery and tranquility. Dong Zhao, with white hair like snow, was half lying on the couch, and his son Dong Zhou, the prefect of Runan, sat by the bed and supported his skinny frame with both hands. On a row of long seats opposite the couch, Cui Lin, Wang Su, Sima Zhi, He Zeng and others sat from right to left. "Cui Sikong, Mr. Wang, Mr. He... are you really going to push me to the front?" Dong Zhao's long beard was trembling slightly, and his voice was hoarse, "I'm getting old... How can I have the energy to take the lead in doing this again? You can do it yourself!" "Dong Situ, you are highly respected. You are the only surviving veteran of the three dynasties of the Great Wei Dynasty. It is most appropriate for you to lead the memorial to persuade General Sima to congratulate Jiuxi and be promoted to prime minister." Wang Su said respectfully. , "Everything is still up to Dong Situ, don't refuse." Dong Zhao turned his head to look at him, suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched, his old face wiped, and he burst into tears: "Emperor Taizu Wu! Can you tell the old minister what to do now? A minister of pillars and beams, just like you were in the Han Dynasty... Do you think the veteran should lead the memorial to persuade him?" While crying loudly, he said with snot and tears: "If the old minister sticks to the common etiquette, I am afraid that he will go against the heart of the sky and the people - the prophecy on the 'Golden Turtle Stone' has written 'Golden Horse' Birth, good luck and prosperity'! But if the old minister really wants to break the rules, I am afraid that you will be unhappy under the nine springs... Tell me, what should I do?" Hearing his half-truth and half-fake cries, Cui Lin, Wang Su, He Zeng and others couldn't help but look embarrassed and looked at each other. At this time, Sima Zhi, Dong Zhao's nephew and son-in-law, interrupted coldly: "Master Uncle, do you know that Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan and the others have been staying in the house for the past few days when you were sick? Your Majesty is clamoring to transfer Cao Fan back from Chang'an to succeed you as Situ... At this critical moment, if it wasn't for Shu Da (Sima Fu's character is "Shu Da") fighting to the death at Shangshutai, saying The imperial edict for you to resign may have already been issued." As soon as he said this, it seemed to have an immediate effect, and the effect was extremely fast: Dong Zhao's wailing stopped abruptly.He didn't even have time to wipe off the tears on his cheeks, so he gave Dong Zhou a sidelong glance: "Zhou'er, is this true?" Dong Zhou and Sima Zhi looked at each other, and replied respectfully to Dong Zhao: "My lord, what Zihua's brother-in-law (Sima Zhi's character is "Zihua") said is absolutely true. A few days ago, my son was worried. This matter will affect your mood and body, so I have been suppressing it and dare not tell you." "Alas! What they did is really unethical..." Dong Zhao sighed deeply, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at Sima Zhi, Cui Lin, Wang Su, He Zeng and the others. Slowly said: "Zhi'er, you and Cui Sikong, Mr. Wang, and Mr. He go to write the draft of the persuasion form... When the time comes, let me know, I will definitely sign and lead the performance... ..." When he said this, he seemed to think of something again, and he said: "The governor of the east of the town, Man Chong, the general of the south of the town Wang Chang, and the general of the north of the town, Pei Qian, the three frontier officials, you should communicate with them in time after you come down. Ventilation. Of course, based on their friendship with General Sima, the three of them will definitely support this matter. Let the three of them do a private communication with the chief shepherds of the states and counties Kung Fu. You don’t know that Emperor Taizu Wu was put on the throne of Duke Wei by those state and county shepherds in the past!” The blazing sun scorched the entire earth like a furnace, and even the slight summer wind that blew past was as hot as boiling water. On the "face slope" to the east of Wuzhang Plain, Zhuge Liang stood quietly in a four-wheeled cart under a green shade.Holding the goose feather fan in his right hand, he fanned it lightly, and the neckline was smoothed meticulously, without even a single wrinkle.Although it is the hot weather that turns stones and gold, his steep posture of a jade tree facing the wind seems to be indelible forever. Jiang Wei supported the sword hilt at his waist, stood beside Zhuge Liang's car, looked at the rows of Wei army camps opposite, and sighed deeply: "This time Qin Lang was defeated by the prime minister and fled—only I am afraid that the bandits of Wei will be afraid of power and difficulty, and will never attack again!" "It's a pity that the Wei thief was not able to be hit hard in one fell swoop! The two enemy troops, Hu Zun and Niu Jin, still didn't fall into the 'trap' of the truth..." Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan slowly, looking at the big flag embroidered with the word "Sima" fluttering high above Weiying, watching it jump up and down like a cluster of black flames in the hunting summer wind, slowly coming to its feet. He said: "The truth is that I really hope to invent a flying 'wooden kite', so that our big Han warriors can ride on it, and fly into the bandit camp from here... Then, Sima Yi wants to close the camp again. It's no use avoiding battle!" Jiang Wei looked at Zhuge Liang with eyes full of conviction: "I firmly believe that with the unparalleled intelligence of the prime minister, you will definitely be able to develop this kind of 'wooden kite' that blows and flies..." Zhuge Liang's gaze slowly soaked with a touch of sadness lifted up, and cast it to the high, far, blue sky, as if he wanted to see through the sky: "Yes! If God grants the truth ten years As long as you live, the true face will definitely be able to do it... Sigh! It's a pity——the true face's time is running out!" "Prime...Prime Minister! You...how can you say such a thing?" Jiang Wei was so startled that his face was as pale as paper, and even his tone changed. "Oh?" Zhuge Liang was also taken aback by his out-of-toned shout. He looked at Jiang Wei's indescribably terrified face in a blink of an eye, with a faint smile on his lips, and said to him: " What are you afraid of, Bo Yue? Birth, old age, sickness and death are like changing seasons, this is a very common thing!" "However, the prime minister will definitely live to witness the day when our great Han army clears the Central Plains and recovers the two capitals!" Jiang Wei said firmly in an irrefutable tone.
