Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 661

"The Taiwei is right, let's see what Sun Quan has to say." Cao Pi waved his hand to make everyone retreat.

Of course Cao Pi knew that the situation was serious, and besides, he was about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, so how could he spend time with Sun Quan in Huainan? He said this just to give an explanation to the gentry.

After the massacre of the Sima family, Cao Pi noticed an interesting thing, that is, the gentry clans are not a single piece of iron, they can slander each other for the sake of profit, and many of the gentry clans who had good relations with the Sima family also wanted to seize the legacy rights. And secretly stood on the side of slander.

Things have fermented until now, and the gentry no longer value the truth so much, enjoying the legacy rights of the Sima family without any psychological burden, but they are worried that their family will become the next Sima.

They started their analysis from the final profit, and found that General Wei Cao Hong was the most suspected, but the opponent now held the military power to guard Yecheng, and the gentry were afraid to speak out, so they could only deal with it by alienating Cao Hong.

No matter how evil a person is, he has a few friends, and not all nobles eat human blood. Chen Qun, one of Cao Pi's four friends, has a deep friendship with Sima Yi.

After the tragedy happened in the Sima family, Chen Qun wanted to take over Sima Shi and Sima Zhao and raise them as his own sons, but Cao Pi still let Cao Hong stay in the barracks on the grounds that the camp was safer.

During the Eastern Expedition against Sun Quan, Chen Qun's main purpose with the army was to return to the Sima brothers. After a long period of observation, he found that Jiang Ji was also very concerned about the Sima case.

After disbanding the tent, Chen Qun invited Jiang Ji to drink in his tent.

After the two of them drank a few cups of wine, Chen Qun opened up the chatterbox. He leaned over his desk and sighed: "Poor Zhongda has been cautious all his life. I don't want the whole family to suffer disaster before he rises up. Life is really impermanent."

"The assassination was planned carefully, and it was carried out in Yecheng and Xudu at the same time. Afterwards, no clues were left. Although both sides have closed the case now, I am still worried that the murderer is out." Jiang Ji put down his wine glass and said himself doubts.

"What else did Zi Tong see?" Chen Qun asked.

Jiang Ji glanced left and right and saw that no one was bugging around the tent, so he said in a novel: "Your Majesty just came to the throne and encountered such a big incident. In order to stabilize the situation, it is indeed feasible for His Majesty to take some drastic measures, but I doubt Xu Du , The assassins killed in Ye City may not all be real assassins, after all, Xiahou Consort and General Xu are both."

"What does Zitong mean, that the king hastily closed the case to appease the courtiers? But I have known the king for many years, and I have never seen him take such cruel measures. This style is more like Zhongda." Chen Qun wanted to say something. end.

Jiang Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't say anything, I was just drunk and talking nonsense."

"Zi Tong is so cool, everyone is Zhong Da's friend, why should you doubt it?" Chen Qun poured a glass of wine down his throat.

Jiang Ji thought that Chen Qun had no reason to test himself, and even if his words were spread, he would still deny them, so he said to himself meaningfully: "Being a king naturally requires kindness, let alone thinking about tricks by yourself. Dong Zhuo, later attached himself to Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Xiu, and finally followed the former king. His strategy is extraordinary and comparable to that of others. This time Sun Quan must not be an opponent."

Chen Qun suddenly realized that Cao Pi is not that vicious, which does not mean that Jia Xu has no malicious schemes. Back then, he instigated Li Jue and Guo Si to counterattack Chang'an, and finally caused Chang'an to experience a catastrophe. The entire Guanzhong people were not spared. Assassins and stabilizing the court situation are what Jia Xu can do.

Thinking of this, Chen Qun was not worried but happy, he took Jiang Ji's hand and said: "The Taiwei's plan is so strange, can Zitong ask him for a plan for me?"

Jiang Ji had question marks all over his face, and asked with a strange expression: "Changwen and the Taiwei are both important ministers of Tuogu, why don't you just ask the Taiwei for advice?"

Chen Qun waved his hands and said: "The Taiwei lives in seclusion and rarely interacts with others. The family behind me is very big, and he can't avoid it. Zitong has some friendship with him, please go for me."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ji asked.

"As Zitong said just now, the murderer may still be at large. I want to take Zhongda's orphan back to the Chen family to raise him, but His Majesty thinks that General Wei's barracks is safer. I really have no reason to persuade the King, so I want to ask the Taiwei to help him use it. Plan." Chen Qun stood up with sincerity and bowed to Jiang Ji.

Jiang Ji was taken aback when he heard that. Cao Hong and Sima Yi had a rift in the early years. Could it be that Chen Qun was afraid that General Wei would abuse the Sima brothers?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ji stood up and cupped his hands and replied: "Changwen, sit down and drink alone. I will go to the Taiwei now, and I will definitely live up to my trust."

"I'm here waiting for the good news." Chen Qun bent down and bowed, and returned a big gift to Jiang Ji.

After Jiang Ji went out, he went straight to Jia Xu's camp, while Chen Qun anxiously continued to drink and wait.

After about an hour or so, Jiang Ji lifted the curtain with excitement.

"It's done?" Chen Qun was very happy to see Jiang Ji, and almost trotted to welcome him into the tent.

Jiang Ji nodded and sat down, drank a glass of wine to quench his thirst, then patted his chest to soothe his emotions, "The Taiwei is really very human, I would like to call it a ghostly conspiracy."

"Let's listen to it." Chen Qun was even more anxious when he saw Jiang Ji's trickery.

Jiang Ji pretended to be mysterious and said: "Changwen wants to bring the Sima brothers back to the Chen family, but the assassins of Miemen are so powerful. If they know that the two brothers are still alive, do you think they will find a way to kill the grass? Maybe the Chen family will do the same." implicated."

Hiss. Chen Qun gasped. He really didn't expect this. As a friend, he just wanted to help out, but at the cost of his family's life, he was really a bit discouraged.

"The Chen family can raise more soldiers, I don't believe those assassins are lawless." Chen Qun answered with a swallow.

"Assassins are highly skilled in martial arts, and almost all of them are killed with one blow. How many armored soldiers does Changwen need to raise? If the Chen family takes the lead in raising armored soldiers, will the rest of them compete to follow suit? If Liu Bei and Sun Quan try to make a difference, what do you think Will Your Majesty be suspicious at that time? At that time, his mouth will be full and he will not be able to explain clearly." Jiang Ji shook his head in denial.

"Then what should we do? We can't just ignore it, right?" Chen Qun suddenly lost his mind.

Jiang Ji continued to add: "Furthermore, there is only one thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?"

"So there's no solution?" Chen Qun spread his hands and his face was full of soreness, this analysis must be Jia Xu's, but he just digs the hole and doesn't bury it, and his eyes are still so vicious.

Jiang Ji stretched out his right hand, shook it, and replied meaningfully: "At present, there is only one method available, which may allow the blood of the Sima family to continue."

"Oh? Say it quickly, say it quickly." Chen Qun urged.

"We want to persuade the king to send Sima Shi and Sima Zhao to Sun Quan and take them back to Jiangdong." Jiang Ji had a serious face.

"What?" Chen Qun's expression was exaggerated, and he thought that this was the ghostly conspiracy you were talking about?
