Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

The study rooms of Shangshu Youcheng and Luoyang Commander Sima Fang reflect the extensiveness of the Sima family in Hanoi as a powerful family in the world.

There are a large number of handwritings of famous masters hanging on the wall. Even in this era, there are three cursive scripts of Zhang Zhi, who are extremely hard to find.

One of the "August Posts" is hung in the most eye-catching position. The vigorous and skillful style of "distinction between characters and separation of strokes" is even better than Cai Yong's "Feibai Book".

No wonder, in history, he can be called "the four sages in the book" together with Zhong Yao, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi...

Speaking of which, this "August Post" was a birthday gift from Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, to Sima Fang's father, Sima Jun...

That's because when his son Cao Cao was the captain of Luoyang North, thanks to Sima Fang's help, now his son has become his subordinate again, and he wants to entrust him to take care of one or two!

It is worth mentioning that Sima Jun, the old man of the Sima family, once served as the prefect of Yingchuan. When he was the prefect, there were four county magistrates in Yingchuan, namely Chen, Xun, Zhong and Han...

The counterparts are Chen Qun, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao and Han Fu...

It can be said that the relationship between the Sima family and the Yingchuan family is extremely irreversible, deeply tied... breaking the bones and connecting the tendons!

At this time, Sima Fang and his father Sima Jun were kneeling on both sides of the study room. Sima Jun was over seventy years old, but he had a belt around his waist and a dignified appearance. He possessed a spirit completely different from his age. .

While admiring the "August Post" in front of him, he said with emotion: "Among the gifts everyone gave me on my [-]th birthday, I only liked two the most. One of them was this "August Post" sent by Cao Song. "Tie", the second is the "One-stroke Book" sent by the Xun family, which are all written by Zhang Zhi and are extremely precious!"

"August Post" and "One-stroke Book" are both written by Zhang Zhi...

This includes the development of calligraphy in the Han Dynasty.

Official script was prevalent in the Western Han Dynasty, but cursive script existed, which can be said to have seal script, official script, cursive script, line script, and true script.

But at this time, "Xingzhu" was slow, and the official script with "Bo Zong" and Zhangcao with independent official meanings could no longer meet people's needs.

Instead, "Jincao", which is fast and beautiful to write, is called "cursive script". There has been a "cursive script craze" in the circle of literati in the late Han Dynasty.

And Zhang Zhi, the son of Zhang Huan, a former chief minister, absorbed the artistic essence of cursive script from the folk, and created a cross-age cursive, that is, a "one-stroke script" that is different from Zhang Cao.

——"The style of characters is formed in one stroke. Occasionally, they are not connected, but the blood vessels are continuous, and those that are connected, the air vessels pass through the interlaced lines."

...these are all praises to Zhang Zhi, the originator of cursive script.

only…

Now Sima Jun mentioned the "August Post" and "One-stroke Book" in the conversation with his son, which seems to have a deep meaning!
"Did father want to ask about Mr. Xun's family?"

How could Sima Fang not understand what his father meant...

The Sima family and the Xun, Chen, Zhong, and Han families of Yingchuan broke their bones and tendons, and Xun Yu was sent to prison to be tortured. Naturally... the Xun family tried every means to find Sima Jun.

"What crime did Wen Ruo commit? As a father, how did you hear that he was whipped in prison..." Sima Jun's face turned ugly, "Punishment can't be punished by a doctor, but Wen Ruo is a court servant? Caning?"

hear here...

Sima Fang felt how much his father wanted to punish him.

"Father, this matter was caused by 'Yulin Liulang colluded with the Taipingdao rebellion'. Mr. Xun was on Yulin Liulang's side, and he was punished for his bail!"

"Is that all?" It seemed that Sima Jun knew more.

Sima Fang didn't hide it either, "That's true on the surface, but in fact...it's about Confucianism and Taoism, partisan disputes. These days, Yulin Liulang is too sharp, and his sharpness has made the Yuan family in Runan I don't dare to let it go, there are many strange things in this case, how dare the child try it, so I shirk it to His Majesty, never thought...but handed over the presiding judge of this case to the hands of Grand Tutor Yuan Kai, this case may have been completed foregone conclusion!"

Listening to Sima Fang's words... Sima Jun understood very well, raised his hand slightly to lift the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then coughed lightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Sima Fang hurriedly asked, "What advice does father have?"

"Today's big Han, apart from the royal family, only belong to the Yuan family in Runan and the Yang family in Hongnong, which are known as the two giants in the world. The next level is the family alliance of the four major families of Hanoi Sima and Yingchuan. With the change of the current situation and the dispute between the party and the party, the Yang family of Hongnong chose to put away their edge and did not fight or grab it, while the Yuan family of Runan showed their sharpness more and more."

"Who doesn't know that those fleeing party members were placed in Runan by Yuan's people? Don't you know? Hehe, Your Majesty knows it better than anyone else, but the Yuan family in Runan is not a family with strong outsiders and middle-class like the Song family in Fufeng. Your Majesty thinks Shaken but unable to be shaken, in this way, it is he, the Yuan family of Runan, who is so famous for helping the party members, leapfrogged the Yang family of Hongnong, and became the leader in the hearts of the scholars in the world, ruling the world leader!"

Speaking of this, Sima Jun paused, and continued: "If Hongnong Yang is judging the situation and fighting without fighting, then the Yuan family in Runan is showing off its sharpness. In the end, when one person is inferior to ten thousand, then the next What is there to fight for? Isn't it just to compete with the royal family? To judge whether it is high or low? The so-called wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. I am not sure what their purpose is, but... Your Majesty will definitely not want to see such a The family dominates!"

hiss…

Sima Jun's words greatly inspired Sima Fang.

He is still young, Jiang is still old and spicy, his father sees more clearly than him, and also sees farther. This is not a dispute between Confucianism and Taoism at all, but a dispute between factions, but... it is between the Yuan family in Runan and His Majesty Fight for it!

"The father is far-sighted, and the son is educated... In this way, the son should not give up the right to 'trial' this case. This not only offends the emperor, but also puts our Sima family and the four major families of Yingchuan on fire. Let's bake!"

"Hehe..." Sima Jun laughed rather bitterly, and he glanced at the "August Post" on the table: "It's more than setting us up on the fire... Da Si Nong's family must be in trouble too! "

hiss…

Hearing Sima Jun, Sima Fang hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, Cao Mengde from Da Si Nong's family has been waiting for me in the front hall for a long time, and I was hesitating whether to see him or not."

Sima Jun raised his hand, "At this time, you don't want to see him anymore. Dad will see you for you. If you are worried, just listen behind the screen... Su Wen, this Cao Mengde is very famous in Luoyang City!"

"Father said five-color sticks?" Sima Fang asked back.

"No!" Sima Jun waved his hand, "It was Cao Mengde who was guided by Yulin Liulang when the Cao family was in trouble, and those two feats of beating the Dengwen drum!"

...

...

Cao Cao had been waiting in the main hall for a while, and he was not in a hurry. He stopped and looked at everyone's calligraphy hanging on the shelf, and the bamboo slip rubbings on the bookshelf fascinated him.

Compared with the last time, when the Dengwen drum was sounded to save my father, this place has taken on a completely new look.

Sima Jun had already put on a brand-new outfit, and came from the inner room. When he saw Sima Jun, Cao Cao hurriedly cupped his hands, "I don't want...it's Mrs. Sima! The students pay homage to Mrs. Sima."

"Mr. Cao came, but he didn't hear the sound of Dengwen's drum outside the door. It's really a bit less scenic!"

"Although the student didn't beat the Dengwen Drum, but he came here to find Mr. Sima's family, but it was also to complain... It is also to find a way out for the Sima family!"

"Young Master Cao, you speak so loudly. Our Sima family is kind to others. This is a bright future. How can our Sima family have no way out?"

Cao Cao paused, "As early as a few years ago, he was appreciated by Lord Sima and was recommended as the 'Luoyang Northern Captain'. At that time, the students only thought that as long as they uphold the 'principle' and 'justice', there would be nothing wrong with the world... It was impossible, but as the days went by, the student's family was almost implicated in the Queen Song case. At that time, the student suddenly understood the truth that "a fire at the city gate will harm the fish in the pond". Ye Xiaomin will also be swept away, starved, thieves... slaughtered by the government because of the court's struggle... This is the current situation of the big man. There is still order in Luoyang City, but outside... there are many lives like grass, the country, the country... If the country is not prosperous, the family is not peaceful!"

some emotion...

It moved Sima Jun. "Young Master Cao, do you want to say that the struggle in the court will lead to troubled times?"

"In the past, the Qin Empire fought the survivors of the sixth generation, and destroyed the six kingdoms to achieve unification. How could Qin Shihuang think that one day... the Han will inherit the Qin system, and those who are on the same track as the overturned car will not be safe. The Qin Dynasty is already a lesson for the past. If the great Han Repeat the same mistakes... Who knows, will the troubled times come again? At that time... How sure are my family and the old man's family that they can escape and save their lives?"

Sima Jun said indifferently: "What do you mean, if the Runan Yuan family wins this case, it will repeat the same mistakes that the Qin Empire fell in the past? The world will be in chaos again?"

"How powerful is the Yuan family in Runan? How ambitious are they? These years have shown their sharpness... Can't Mr. Sima see it?" Cao Cao said in a serious tone, "Mr. Sima has gone through three dynasties, and I think he understands it better than I do."

"So what if you understand? In the end, I'm the same as you, our Sima family and your Cao family are the same, we can't do anything about this matter... Troubled times are coming, everyone is in danger, but not everyone has the ability to reverse the troubled times!"

"Yes!" Cao Cao's tone became more serious. "Now, the Sima family has this opportunity to reverse the troubled times... Some people want to use the Yellow Turban Rebellion to make it bigger and eliminate dissidents, and some people want to prevent the Yellow Turban Rebellion from happening... There are many strange things about Yulin Liulang's fornication with Taiping Road. How can you let the Runan Yuan family preside over the case?"

"I know about this, but I'm powerless to change it." Sima Jun shook his head helplessly, "The Yellow Turban Rebellion you said was a 'distant disaster', but this case is a 'near disaster'. My Sima family is also helpless. Many times, You can only avoid near disasters and seek distant ones, drink poison to quench your thirst... Besides, this case has already been handed over to Grand Tutor Yuan, and it would be as difficult as going to heaven to get it back!"

Cao Cao said anxiously: "Then what if Yulin Liulang has a way...to bring this case back to the Sima family for trial?"

Well…

Sima Jun did not expect Cao Cao to make such a statement.

Cao Cao's voice continued, "The ambitions of the Yuan family... Old Master Sima will not be unaware. He can hide it from everyone, but how can he hide it from the Sima family? If this case is tried by him, he will do it even if he is innocent. If it is a capital crime, not only will Wen Ruo suffer, but the situation will also be powerless at that time! Once the Yuan family really uses this to break free from the party, then the future world...should change the surname to Huang Tian, ​​or to his Chen Yuan family!"

goo-dong...

Sima Jun was touched, and Sima Fang behind the screen was also touched.

None of them thought that such a Cao Cao would dare to say...

Sima Jun didn't dare to speak to Cao Cao any more, he walked into the inner room in a sense of loss, leaving Cao Cao himself at a loss...

...

...

In the inner room…

Sima Fang hurriedly asked Sima Jun, "What does father think?"

"Tell me your opinion first." Sima Jun asked back.

Sima Fang paused for a moment, "My son thinks that we should help Yulin Liulang, not only for the sake of the big man, but also for our family... What Cao Mengde said just now is true, the world in the future... Should I change my surname to Huang Tian or change my surname? He, Chen Yuan... If there is such a day, how will we Hanoi Sima I Hanchen deal with himself?"

Sima Jun smiled, "You are already old, how can you be so bookish, hehe...you are bookish, he Cao Mengde is young, but...I heard that His Majesty sent the Xiyuan Army to Yulin Temple yesterday, but no one was found. That Yulin Liulang!"

"What does father mean?"

"What Cao Mengde said today came from Yulin Liulang...if it was him..." Sima Jun pouted, lost in thought.

Sima Fang's eyes were fixed, "No matter what, it's good to stand with the emperor."

"No!" Sima Jun replied, "Even if he, Yulin Liulang, is capable enough to take back the right to adjudicate the case, our Sima family in Hanoi can't stand on any side, and we must handle the case with integrity. The case!"

Sima Jun slowly walked to the window...

He said with emotion: "One side is the emperor, the other side is the Yuan family, which side... we can't afford to offend!"

Sima Fang nodded...

So here comes the question... What can Yulin Liulang do?What about taking back the right to adjudicate the case?

...

...

In the execution room, Liu Bei's arms were hung from the beams, and his clothes were torn by the whip... Bloodstains oozed out, and countless bloodstains stained his clothes almost blood red.

Naturally, the skin and flesh on his back were bruised, and the person was already fainting, but the whip was still falling off.

On the contrary, Yuan Kai squinted his eyes and stood in front of him.

The two were interrogated together, and he found that he couldn't ask anything, and he couldn't get their "signature and affidavit"... Then, they interrogated separately to see if they can resist the whip again and again.

"Master Yuan, fainted again!"

"Wake up, hit again!"

Yuan Kai's voice remained as indifferent as ever.

The person who can be punished quit, "Teacher Yuan, I can't be beaten anymore... There are clear rules for the punishment of a big man, and the number of lashes in a day cannot exceed a hundred. If he dies, then...the executioner will be exiled!"

Yuan Kui saw the jailer's embarrassment...he was also afraid that he would really be beaten to death.

After all, this Liu Bei is also an official of the inner court and the emperor's younger brother. Using torture...he can find a way to prevaricate it so that the emperor does not know, but...if he is beaten to death, the responsibility will be great.

"Take it down...retrial tomorrow!"

"Here!"

"Where's Xun Yu over there? Have you recruited?"

"No...he's very stubborn."

"Take it down too!"

Yuan Kai's eyebrows were tightly frowned, and he suddenly realized that this time his opponent... was not so easy to deal with.

Can…

He has no way out!

——A major event is imminent, and Yulin Liulang must die!
