Chapter 85 12. Jia Xu reciprocates

Sima Yi, who was sitting behind a screen and listening quietly, suddenly realized: that day in the palace, Cao Pi claimed that he and Chen Qun would get "hundreds of thousands of shi army rations" for the Southern Expedition. yes!Isn't he "forcing" with open flames!Such a method is a bit too clumsy! After Cao Fu said goodbye and left, Sima Yi turned around from behind the screen.Jia Xu seemed to be staring at the door of the jingshe in a daze, her lips were moving, and after a while she came out with a sentence: "Xun Lingjun once said a passage, which is still fresh in my memory: the way of controlling ministers that lacks human touch is, after all, Not far to go..."

After hearing this, Sima Yi couldn't help shaking his heart as if hearing the verse.But it is impossible for him to talk nonsense in front of Jia Xu at this moment, he just pursed his lips and sighed secretly. After sighing, he glanced and suddenly saw that Jia Xu's waist was empty!With a sudden movement in his mind, he couldn't help asking: "Hey... Captain Jia, where is the 'Purple Dragon' worn on your waist?" Jia Xu's face fluctuated slightly, and he said calmly: "Is that piece of jade? It's just an external possession. The old man has already returned it to His Majesty. The old man's virtue is not good enough, and he can't afford to enjoy this 'Imperial Bestowed Treasure'. "

When Sima Yi heard it, his heart was shaken: Cao Pi had clearly hinted at the ceremony at the court meeting that day that he would never forget "Purple Dragon Jue".What kind of smart and harmonious person is Jia Taiwei?He naturally understood, and after he got down, he had to return Zilong Jue to Cao Pi respectfully.However, Cao Pi had the audacity to accept it without hesitation!You should know: this Zilong Jue was a "token" that he tried his best to give to Jia Xu in the struggle for establishing an heir! However, when Cao Pi took over the Zilong Jue, he also gave Jia Xu a little compensation symbolically: he was given a jar of Loulan wine.When Jia Xu entertained Sima Yi today, it was not easy to explain the origin of the jar of wine to him, so he casually said that it was escorted by Han.But deep down, Jia Xu was of course ashamed and annoyed, but she tried her best to restrain herself and digested it.

Therefore, when Sima Yi brought up the matter of Zilong Jue, his state of mind was a little buoyant at first, but then gradually calmed down.He took a sip of the wine, sat quietly for a while, and then said leisurely: "The emperor, the king who is ordered, is domineering, who dares not to obey? Everything is based on the heart of the emperor, and the heart of the emperor. Thinking about thinking, this may be the best choice for us as ministers of the temple." He glanced and saw the injustice in Sima Yi's eyebrows and eyes, and couldn't help but feel warmed by it, suppressing the emotion in his heart , smiled lightly: "Oh... By the way, Sima Jun, I said something that I shouldn't have said: According to your personality, in the eyes of this old man, you are only afraid of staying in Luoyang City, going up and down and making friends. Wholeheartedly, willingly and willingly, in the future will eventually be a rare good fruit."

Jia Xu's words were very thoughtful.Sima Yi couldn't help being deeply moved by this—his eyes were wet, and he bowed deeply on the seat: "Yi respectfully asks Taiwei Jia to give me some advice." "Now that Liu Bei is sending troops out of the Wu Gorge, the battle between the Puppet Shu and Jiangdong is inevitable. Your Majesty never forgets to attack the latter to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Therefore, the imperial court's grand plan for the Southern Expedition is imperative! Then, choose the right one. It is the imperial court's top priority to choose suitable generals to take advantage of the gap! However, according to the old man's guess, His Majesty may still want to rely on Xia Houshang, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and other trusted veterans to wipe out Wu Shu. It is a pity that extraordinary things need to be treated extremely Only by appointing someone with a talent can they make extraordinary achievements! Although Xia Houshang, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and others are brave and good at fighting, they are not really "extraordinary talents" in the eyes of the old man, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to be appointed as the leaders of the Southern Expedition..."

Jia Xu is the imperial lieutenant who is in charge of the promotion of generals in the world. Sima Yi was a little surprised that he belittled Xia Houshang, Cao Xiu, and Cao Zhen so bluntly.He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "So, in Jia Taiwei's eyes, who can be called an 'extraordinary talent'?" Jia Xu shrank his pupils, stared at him deeply, and said with some inexplicable mystery in his tone: "That's right. In my mind, there is indeed a very talented person with both civil and military skills. However, this old man Don't be surprised if you tell this person's name, Sima Jun!"

Sima Yi replied calmly: "This... I would like to ask Taiwei Jia to tell you everything - Yi also wants to know the name of this very talented Gao with both civil and military skills!" "Hehehe... In the eyes of this Taiwei, the person who is capable of destroying Wu Dingshu is none other than Sima Jun!" Sima Yi was genuinely taken aback at this moment: "How can Yi have virtue, how can he be worthy of it?" Jia Xu picked up the goose yellow jade double-eared cup, sipped it lightly, and said slowly, "Why can't you? When the late emperor was alive, you served as a general of Duzhi Zhonglang, and as a soldier of the prime minister's mansion, Cao Jun." Yes, the Sima of the Prime Minister's Mansion was also a Sima, and the old man once heard that it was you who assisted His Majesty with all his strength in mobilizing troops and generals in Yecheng Wei Xiqian and the remnants of the Han Dynasty to make a rebellion overnight. Yes! This all proves that you are an "extraordinary talent" with both civil and military skills. Why can't you take on the great task of destroying Wu Dingshu? This old man must recommend you to His Majesty as an important aspect of the Southern Expedition Army Will!"

Speaking of this, Jia Xu's warm eyes cast towards Sima Yi's eyes like a ray of sunset light: "If you become a member of the general, you don't have to be like this old man, who is neglected and ignored on the balance of the imperial court. , as a piece of weight moved around..." He confided to Sima Yi the heartfelt words that must never be said in these scenes.Sima Yi was so moved that his heart boiled, his heart was sore and hot, all words were blocked in his throat and he could not speak.
