Chapter 323
Wu Wuwei General Sun Jun framed Zhuge Ke for rebellion based on the people's grievances and public suspicion. He conspired with Wu Lord Sun Liang and hosted a palace banquet for Zhuge Ke.

The night before, Zhuge Ke was terrified and stayed up all night.

The next day, when I showered, I felt that the water was very smelly. When I changed my clothes, I felt that the clothes were also smelly.

After changing it several times, it is still the same, and I don't feel upset.

Going out, the domestic dog bites his clothes tightly and does not let go, Zhuge Ke is surprised, "Does the dog not want me to do it?"

Going back to the inner court and going out again, the dog bit the clothes again.

Zhuge Ke was so irritable that his family members chased him away and drove away. Before the palace gate, Zhuge Ke hesitated.

Sun Jun came out from the palace, taking retreat as his way of advancing: "If you are honored and uneasy, you can shave yourself, and Jun will be a white master."

Zhang Yue and Zhu En, the regular servants of Sanqi who were traveling with him, sent a secret letter: "Zhang Shi is very unusual today, and I suspect there is something wrong with him."

Zhuge Ke also felt that something was wrong, so he returned, but met Taichang Teng Yin on the way.

Teng Yin didn't know Sun Jun's tricks, so he persuaded Zhuge Ke: "The emperor's banquet is here, and it's not too late."

Zhuge Ke has always thought highly of himself, and he thought it was the same reason, so he went to the palace with his sword...

In October of the fifth year of Jiaping, Zhuge Ke, Prime Minister of Wu, died at a palace banquet at the age of 51, three years less than his uncle Zhuge Liang.

Sun Junyi and his three clans, mother, wife and children, nephew and old friends were all killed.

Zhuge Ke was famous all over the country in December last year. He sent troops in March, was defeated in July, returned to Jianye in August, and was killed in October. It took less than a year for him to fall from the peak to the bottom.

Luoyang, it is the end of another year.

The secret room in Sima Mansion was a little dark, but warm as spring.

The incense burner is curling up, and the silver charcoal is dark red.

Every time Sima Shishi and Zhong Hui entered this secret room, they would be heavily guarded.

Obviously there are soldiers guarding, but there are dead soldiers guarding secretly.

Things can be done with secrets, and words can be used to vent failures. Master Sima has deeply grasped the essence of it.

"Zhuge Ke died and his family was wiped out, and Sun Jun came to power. He will definitely learn from it. Wu has no intention of going north, and Shu has just been defeated, and the general is at the height of his power." Zhong Hui said in a low voice.

Sima Shi pondered for a long time, the expression on his face fluctuating.

Since the change of Gaoping Mausoleum, Wang Ling, the most prestigious, has gone, and all the princes and princes of the Xia Dynasty have been marginalized, and most of the people left behind are wine bags and rice bags, which is nothing to worry about.

The branches and leaves of Cao Wei's big tree have almost been cut down, and only the most famous Xia Houxuan is left struggling to hold on.

The ministers of the court and those who hold real power are all former officials of the Sima family.

Looking around the world of Wei State, Huainan's vitality is seriously injured, only the northwest corner is rebellious.

The more Sima Shi remained silent, the more Zhong Hui talked, "Now, the general still has four worries."

A wisp of green smoke enveloped Master Sima gradually, blurring his face, but his eyes became sharper in the smoke, so his whole body became more and more deep, "Shi Ji, speak for me."

Ten paces away, Zhong Hui, who was sitting opposite him, felt like he was facing a dormant tiger, "First, Wen Qin, the battle of Dongxing, all the tribes in Huainan were injured, Du Wenqin was not damaged, the battle of Xincheng, other The army's combat power is quite strong, beheading tens of thousands of Wu's troops!"

Master Sima nodded slightly.

"Secondly, Yang Zheng, this person recruited Qianghu in Xiping, raised people and raised troops, and defeated Deng Ai in the battle of breaking the Qiang. We must guard against it." Naturally, Xiping is not the primary target of Luoyang today.

Sima Shi listened quietly.

"Thirdly, Guan Qiujian, this man is a famous general, quite talented, he is an old man from the former emperor's East Palace, and an old friend of Xiahou Taichu. If the general does not move, he will stop. If he moves, this man will definitely turn against him."

In fact, since Sima and his son came to power, Guanqiu Jian has been repeatedly promoted and surrendered secretly.

From Youzhou to Yuzhou, and from Yuzhou to Huainan.

Leaving Youzhou, which has been in business for more than ten years, step by step.

After the battle of Xincheng, although he was promoted to the general of Zhendong due to his meritorious service, his strength has long been inferior to before.

For the first two, Master Sima kept silent, but when he talked about Guanqiu Jian, he stood up, "Guanqiu Jian followed the traces of the vertical and horizontal, and learned the sayings of Qin Yi. He has generals and uses Wen Qin as his minion. My great enemy! Huainan is exhausted today, if you cannot restrain yourself, in time, you will be in serious trouble!"

Compared with Wu Qiujian in Huainan, Xiping is really insignificant.

Yang Zheng's reputation, strength, and record are far behind Guanqiu Jian's by a thousand miles.

It is clear at a glance who is the confidant and who is the disease.

"Then the fourth person must be Xiahou Taichu?" Sima Shi's eyes suddenly became cold.

But Zhong Hui shook his head, "Xiahou Taichu is a high-level weapon in the temple. It only needs to be enshrined to cover people's eyes and ears. The real threat is the current emperor!"

In the secret room, you can't see the sky or the ground, and you can say anything.

Master Sima laughed out loud, and he could already hear that Zhong Hui was covering up for Xia Houxuan in his words, "Shi Ji, Shi Ji, what I will do is to knock on the high weapon in this temple, so as to frighten the people of the world. Ear!"

Amidst the laughter, Jiaping rang the last New Year's Eve bell for five years.

Jiaping came here for six years.

At the beginning of this year, there was a bloody storm in Luoyang.

Zhongshu ordered Li Feng, together with Guanglu doctor Zhang Ji, and Taichang Xia Houxuan, to punish the general Sima Shi.

The plan was not kept secret, so Master Sima called Li Feng to ask him.

Li Feng refused to admit it.

Master Sima threw out the copy of the emperor's blood edict, Li Feng knew that he could not deny it, and yelled: "Your father and son are pregnant with traitors, and will destroy the whole country. It is a pity that my strength is weak, and I can't kill my ears!"

Master Sima was furious, held the first knife in the ring, smashed Li Feng to death with his own hands, handed over the body to Tingwei, and arrested Li Tao, Xia Houxuan, Zhang Ji and others.

On the long street, the cold wind blows.

There was also the sound of whimpering in the sky.

Xia Houxuan looked up at the drowsy sky without changing his face, but more than three hundred of his family members were crying and howling.

Sima Zhao wept bitterly, and pleaded in front of Master Sima, "Taichu is a well-known man in the world, and now he will be beheaded, and he will lose the popularity of the world!"

Master Sima remained unmoved, "Execution!"

The knife and ax fell, and screams arose everywhere.

The long street turned into ghosts. Thousands of beheaded people dragged their bodies, struggling and twisting, dragging a bloody path on the long street, and the howling and screaming resounded throughout the city.

Xia Houxuan was still looking at the drowsy sky, as if he had lost all sense of pain, his body was twitching, but his face was expressionless.

After a long time, the look in his eyes gradually faded away.

Among the crowd, Zhong Hui sighed faintly.

In March, the wind and snow have not yet melted, but the earth is somewhat warmer.

But Xiping is still a piece of white.

It is not Baixue, but white mantle and white flags, offering sacrifices to Xia Houxuan.

"Ping, General Pingxi, the emperor's decree, the general's military order, immediately send Xiahou Zhi, the criminal daughter of the Xiahou family, back to Beijing!" Huang Ji trembled.

"Then tell Master Sima and let him fetch it himself!" Yang Zheng was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, his face covered with frost.

Huang Ji was dumbfounded.

If the "old acquaintance" Huang Ji hadn't come this time, Yang Zheng would have cut off the head of the Luoyang envoy to sacrifice the flag.

Xia Houxuan's life was over, and he didn't want to live, no wonder others.

But Master Sima made such a ruthless attack, beheaded in the middle of the street, destroying the three clans!
Not the slightest sympathy, nor the slightest decency.

"Yang, General Yang, you have to think clearly, it's not worth offending the court and the general for a sinful woman, and the general has already said before he came that as long as Yang Zheng donates the daughter of the Xiahou clan, the post of governor of Liangzhou It belongs to the general! Han Xin still has the humiliation of his crotch, a mere sinful woman, what is there to worry about?"

"Liangzhou Inspector? Master Sima has done a great job!" At this moment, all the shackles in Yang Zheng's heart were broken.

All the scruples in the past suddenly disappeared at this moment.

There is only relaxation in the whole body, incomparably relaxed.

There is no way to retreat, no way to avoid, then draw your sword to fight it!

Who would dare to believe the Sima family's promise?
It was just a delaying tactic, sending Xia Houzhi away, all of Yang Zheng's legitimacy disappeared.

You must know that there are many people in Liangzhou who are loyal to the Cao family. Even if they enter Liangzhou, they will play internal disputes with these people. Finish.

In the Battle of Xincheng, Wu and Shu joined hands in the Northern Expedition, and were easily suppressed by Sima Shi, which shows the strength of the Central Plains.

On the other hand, Xia Houxuan is undoubtedly the person who has the greatest kindness to Yang Zheng.

When it was cold, he was promoted to captain.

If you have a little merit, you will marry her as a daughter.

Yang Zheng was able to be what he is today, in fact, he grew up under Xia Houxuan's wings.

For Xia Houxuan's sake, Chen Tai didn't stab him in the back at the critical moment.

People are not beasts, so we have to show some face.

Sending Xia Houzhi away, Yang Zheng himself looked down on him.

"General Yang...Be careful!" Cold sweat broke out on Huang Ji's face.

Yang Zheng smiled like a wild wolf in the wilderness, "Then please tell your majesty, the general, that Xia Houzhi and I will live and die together. If the general wants to take Xia Houzhi's life, you might as well take someone's life first." !"
