Chapter 49 5. Secret Meeting Laojun Hall

After many people do something that they are not sure about, they usually become overly sensitive, as if they always think that there is a tail behind them. Although they can't see it for a while, they fall into the eyes of others and become someone else's handle.Ding Yi quietly handed over the secret performance to Prime Minister Cao, but unexpectedly, the matter was lost forever.The prime minister seemed to have never seen this confetti, and never asked him anything.That's all for nothing, Prime Minister Cao seems to be busier than before, all day long he gathers counselors and generals to prepare for attacking Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

But there was also a surprising thing that happened.Sima Yi, who had always been effective in presiding over large and small affairs in the prime minister's mansion, voluntarily resigned from the post of chief secretary of the prime minister's mansion, and recommended Yang Xiu to take his place.Prime Minister Cao asked Sima Yi to transfer to the post of Army Sima, and train his military skills by his side.In any case, Sima Yi can be regarded as having left the power core of the prime minister's mansion.This made Ding Yi very happy.Ding Yi knew that the relationship between Sima Yi and Cao Pi was extraordinary, and he had always been highly vigilant against the threat of Sima Yi staying in the prime minister's mansion.When he was about to join forces with Yang Xiu to drive Sima Yi out of the stage, he unexpectedly asked him to leave on his own.This made Ding Yi feel relieved.Now that Yang Xiu has been placed next to Prime Minister Cao, as long as he takes time, he will definitely be able to play a very important role in establishing an heir for Cao Zhi.

However, like all people who are too conceited, Ding Yi pays too much attention to the superficial results when analyzing problems, but does not think about some problems at a deeper level.Sima Yi resigned on his own initiative!Who would be stupid enough to hand over such a "golden chair" as the head of the prime minister's mansion?Is Sima Yi really crazy?When Cao Pi saw this situation, his mood was completely opposite to that of Ding Yi.Because Sima Yi's resignation from the post of chief bookkeeper seemed to be completely unilaterally proposed by him, and he didn't get through with anyone at all in advance.This made Cao Pi feel inexplicable, and began to feel restless again.

Finally, in the middle of the night, Cao Pi received a secret report from his servant, and Sima Yi asked him to go to Sima Mansion immediately.At the same time, the servant said: "Master Sima ordered that when Zhonglang is about to go out, he must prepare three calf carts and set off together, and wait at the entrance of Caiban Hutong for a while." Cao Pi knew that Sima Yi did this to prevent others from following him." The strategy of “striking from the east to attack the west” is to act according to the words now. The three calf carts arrived at Caiban Alley, but they saw two galloping horses galloping towards Caiban Alley. One was riding Sima Yi, and the other was empty.Cao Pi waited for the horse to approach, jumped out of the calf cart, jumped on the horse's back, followed Sima Yi's horse, and followed closely.

Cao Pi followed Sima Yi out of Xudu City and came to an abandoned Taoist temple in the suburbs.Sima Yi got off his horse first, and waited for him to come in front of the gate of Laojun Hall in the Taoist temple. Cao Pi jumped off his horse and asked out of breath, "Mr. Sima, what do you need to come to see me in this wilderness?" Sima Yi just smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Highness, please come in and talk about it." " Cao Pi raised his eyes and looked around, seeing that no one was following him, he walked straight ahead into the Laojun Palace.After Sima Yi waited for him to enter the hall, he slapped his palms, and several black-clothed and masked warriors jumped out from all around the Taoist temple, all of them holding swords and obeying orders.Sima Yi ordered in a deep voice: "You guys guard the outside well, and if you notice any abnormal movements, go into the hall and report to me immediately."

The warriors responded in unison, each of them retreated into the dark, and disappeared like ghosts.Sima Yi waited for a while, and then walked cautiously into Laojun Hall. But I saw Cao Pi standing in the middle of the hall with an impatient expression on his face. When he came in, he immediately asked, "Sima Jun, why are you being so mysterious today?" Sima Yi looked very calm, and said slowly, "Your Highness, the recent passage The times can be described as "extraordinary times" with turbulent changes. You and I have to be more careful, and we can only deal with "extraordinary techniques". Ding Yi and Yang Xiu are now jumping up and down, aggressive, and have great doubts Your Highness has pulled off his horse and vowed not to let it go, the situation is very critical! Therefore, even if I want to see His Highness, I have to make such trouble."

"I see, you are right to do this." Cao Pi nodded with a sullen face.Sima Yi said slowly again: "In order to help Your Highness better, I have no choice but to take the initiative to retreat from the position of the Prime Minister's Office Master, hide behind the scenes, and use tricks quietly to fight against them. And, When you are transferred to the post of Sima in the Prime Minister's Army, you can also get in touch with Xia Houshang, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Xu Huang and other generals, so as to lay a solid foundation for His Highness in the three armies." "So that's how it is." Cao Pi sighed, "Sima Jun's Wentao's military strategy is extraordinary, and I really admire him."

"There's nothing we can do about it! Ding Yi and Yang Xiu are too deceitful, we can only see what we do!" "By the way, Mr. Sima, Chen Qun, and Wu Zhi have privately drafted an article on "Treacherous and Slanderous", planning to promote the establishment of an heir for my son in the public opinion. What do you think?" "Please lend this manuscript to Yi for a look, Eldest Young Master, how about it?" Cao Pi nodded, and hastily took out a scroll of silk script from his sleeve and handed it to him.Sima Yi took it in his hand and slowly unfolded it, only to see that it read:

He is sycophantic and filthy, loves evil and corrupts.If the state has these two things, it is impossible to obtain it if it is not in danger.He Jin died under Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang, Yuan Shao died under Shen Pei and Guo Tu, and Liu Biao died under Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.Confucius said: "This man is in peril." Believe me.The ancient things have been listed in the recorded books, and we will talk about these numbers again, thinking of them as a lesson for the future, and write "Crafting and Slandering". At the beginning of Zhongping, the great general He Jin, his younger brother Che Qimiao, and the founding of the mansion, and the close scholars Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang, each favored Jin with heresy.But Miao hated him as a human being, and Kuang and Zhang destroyed Miao and called him Jin.After hearing about it and praising it, I think it is one for myself.After Emperor Ling died, he was killed by the eunuch Han Kui and others.Kuang and Zhang hated the seedlings, so they robbed the crowd and killed the seedlings in Beique.And the He family is gone.In the past, Duke Zheng Zhao was killed by Qu Mi, and Duke Lu Yin was killed by Father Yu. Miao could not be as good as this?Husbands and loyal ministers are also the masters, respecting their fathers to respect their sons, and respecting their elder brothers to respect their younger brothers.Therefore, it is said: Those who love their people are as good as their houses.What's more, between flesh and blood!And how good is it to enter alone?

The son of Yuan Shao, Tan is long and intelligent, yet young and beautiful.Shao's wife loves Shang, and she is known for her talents. Shao Yiya has a strange appearance.Don't be judged and matched, guard the army according to the rules, and live in arrogance and extravagance, which is not good for Tan, so he shuns his wife outside, and considers personal harm inside. There is a gap with Pei and Ji, fearing future troubles, and relying on Tan.The righteousness of Sheng Chen's eldest son is aroused by the humiliation of humiliation.Persuade him to cause chaos, but Tan Yisu has intentions.Fighting with Shang, wanting to kill each other.Wang Shi inherited the talisman of heaven and man, and swept Hushuo with it, so he went to Shangxiaotan and captured the map of the match.Recalling Yuan Shao's time, he had to accept the strategy of heroes and the power of fake scholars and people.The reality of the huge sea in the east is the land of the whole Jin Dynasty in the west, the Yellow River in the north is blocked in the south, and there is a strong horse in the north.The place is two thousand miles away, and there are hundreds of thousands of people, which can be called majestic.At this time, you are invincible in the world, and it is easy to overthrow the overlord, but you can't restrain a foolish wife, show off your concubine, wanly love your private love, and favor your son with appearance.Afterwards, he was defeated and lost his teacher, died of illness, evil ministers pretended to be traitors, the two sons were slaughtered, the graves were not dry, and the ancestral temple was a ruin, which was a mistake.

Liu Biao's eldest son is Qi.The table begins to love it, and calls it its own kind.For a long time, he was the nephew of the youngest son Congna's stepwife Cai Shi, and was favored by Cai Shi. His younger brother Cai Mao and nephew Zhang Yun were lucky to be cousins.Dread Qi's superiority, he wanted to destroy him, but Cong was in harmony with the Cai family, and Yun and Mao came first.Cong has goodness, even if it is small, it must be heard;The Cai family said that beauty is from the inside, while Mao and Yun sigh virtue from the outside.The table said it was true, but Qi Yi was sparse and went out to be the prefect of Jiangxia, supervising the soldiers outside.Mao and Yunyin waited for it to pass the gate, and then destroyed it.Beauty is not obvious but not concealed, and flaws are not subtle but not exposed.So the color of expressing anger grows day by day, and the letter of ridicule arrives day by day, and Cong Jian is the heir.Therefore, it is said that the sword is born from the sparseness of the body, and the accumulation of love comes from the close habit. Is it evil?In the past, Liu Shenxiang, Xie Xie, had no one on Mu Gong's side, so he could not be at ease.Monarchs and ministers are like this, so are fathers and sons?After the disease, Qi returns to save the disease.Qi Su was kind and filial, Mao and Yun were afraid that they would show their appearance, and father and son felt each other, and they had the meaning of entrusting the queen, saying: "The general ordered the king to caress Jiangxia, and he is the Eastern Fan of the country, and his mission is the most important."Now when Buddhist monks come, they will definitely see anger, hurt the love of relatives, and increase their illness, which is not filial piety. ’ So he was restrained outdoors so that he could not see him, and Qi ran away with tears.The scholars and the people were hurt when they heard it.Although Yi Ya Du Gong and vertical cattle virtual utensils, why add this!Has Qi forgotten the dedication of the Chenpu Beigou?How can you say that there is a mountain in a thousand miles without reaching each other?Hurrah!Between father and son, what is it!Biao died, Cong Jingli, Yi Hou and Qi.Qi Nu printed it, and went to the funeral with a fake speech, which contained the meaning of begging and agreeing.Master Hui Wang had come to the suburbs, Cong Juzhou pleaded guilty, Qi then ran to the south of the Yangtze River.In the past, Yi Lifei was jealous, slandering because of lack of favor; Jiang Chong burned Feng, creating Gu because of guilt.Gauss' deceit is also greedy for power, and deeds of greatness are also greedy for money.They are all close to the flesh and blood, so as to become fierce and rebellious. sad husband!The disciples of Kuang, Zhang, Pei, Tu, Mao, and Yun are not too strange, and they will all be cooked and destroyed, and they will be tried for a hundred generations.However, those who are ignorant of the past have a heart of treachery and profit.Whoever is separated from his father and son, separated from his younger brother, becomes an adulterer in the court, and manages things in a moment, all because of the gap between the cliffs to take care of them, and to make troubles by entrusting their anger, to make paintings with the right to be stunned, and to invest with the constant heart of anger, as if If you are angry, you should take action.Although it is in sage wisdom, it cannot be avoided, let alone a person of middle quality? Ruofu Yuanang remonstrated Huainan, Tian Shuzhi rescued Liang Xiao, Du Yezhi the second king of Ling, and Anguo the two masters of peace.Cang Geng called it a poem, Shi Dan quoted it, Zhou Chang used his color to fight in court, his uncles and grandsons remonstrated with Chen Jie, the three elders resisted sparseness to justify grievances, and Qianqiu entrusted the spirit to forgive the Lord.Those who counted the princes either showed their virtues in the previous dynasty, or raised their voices in the previous world, or became ministers through exhaustion, or received gold from the emperor's treasure, and their words were rewarded, and their blessings followed.Sri Lanka can be said to be good at being between flesh and blood. After he finished reading, he didn't say a word, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly muttered. "Sima Jun, do you think this article should be quickly thrown out to guide the correct understanding of the famous scholars..." "My lord, this article is well-founded and powerful, and it thoroughly explains the pros and cons of right and wrong. However, it is not the best time to sell it yet." "What... what should we do? Are we going to watch Ding Yi and the others stir up trouble and add fuel to the flames for Cao Zhi's plan for an heir?" "That's not necessary. You don't have to worry—Yi has his own countermeasures." Sima Yi said in a deep voice, "I have spent all my time tonight to invite Your Highness to this wilderness because there is a very important person who wants to see you. .” "Who?" Cao Pi was puzzled. Sima Yi coughed lightly, raised his palm and slapped it twice in the air.After seeing the statue in Laojun's palace, a person suddenly turned around and walked slowly in front of them.Cao Pi was startled, the person who came was actually a strange girl in palace costume with delicate features.He turned to look at Sima Yi in astonishment, not knowing where to start asking. Sima Yi bowed slightly, and said, "This Qingfu girl is the personal servant of the Prime Minister's wife." Cao Pi finally understood after hearing this.Mrs. Wang is the most beloved concubine of my father recently. She is so intelligent and virtuous that even her own mother, Mrs. Bian, is ashamed of herself.But he himself had very little contact with Mrs. Wang, and he didn't know what she meant by sending a maid to meet her today. Sima Yi smiled slightly at Qing Fu: "If Madam Wang has anything to tell you to General Zhong Lang, please tell the truth." Qing Fu bowed deeply to the two of them, and said: "My wife asked me to come to meet His Highness, which is to express two feelings to His Highness: 1. My wife will do her best to help His Highness become a prince; 2. Hope After His Royal Highness officially becomes the crown prince, please take good care of my wife and son Cao Gan." Cao Pi listened, his face straightened, and he said solemnly: "Heaven is above, Cao Pi hereby swears: Mrs. Wang's kindness of helping today, Cao Pi will repay the favor of Mrs. Wang in the future, and I will never break my promise." Qingfu nodded, gave another salute, and said: "Qingfu has thanked His Highness on behalf of my wife. My wife has something important to tell His Highness. Recently, Prime Minister Bingzhu wrote thirteen secret letters in the jade box late at night. The opinions of thirteen adults in the court were secretly solicited on the matter of Wei Shizi's establishment of an heir. According to my wife's careful observation, six adults including Xun You, Cui Yan, and Mao Jie agreed to establish His Royal Highness as the eldest son, and six adults including Yang Jun and Wei Tun I agree with the establishment of the third highness, Marquis Pingyuan, as the son of the prince. Only one of the Taizhong officials, Jia Xu, has not yet replied. The prime minister has been hesitant about this. My wife asks His Royal Highness to act quickly, and strive to marry Master Jia Xu before Pingyuanhou Come down, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." "Huh?" Both Cao Pi and Sima Yi were taken aback.Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Cao made a move so quickly, and even secretly discussed this matter with all the elders and important ministers in the court! Surprised, Cao Pi squinted at Sima Yi.Sima Yi said slowly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I'll let you solve the problem with Lord Jia Xu." Hearing that Sima Yi took the initiative to invite Ying, Cao Pi's heart immediately relaxed.
