Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang
Chapter 592: No matter how good things are, if there is no light in the east, there will be light in
Chapter 592: It will be peaceful and prosperous. If there is no light in the east, there will be light in the west——
Ji Ping had just returned to the Imperial Medical Office. He took off his raincoat and put on his coarse cloth clothes. He put handfuls of plant ashes into a pottery jar and other potions, and then pounded them absentmindedly with a wooden pestle.
But in his heart, he was thinking about how to prepare the "poisonous needle" that would be used to assassinate Cao Cao ten days later.
His son Ji Miao was holding a wooden sword, trying to swing it and slashing it down... one move at a time... every move was impressive!
Not to mention... He was a doctor, and his physical skills and martial arts were pretty good, but it seemed that... his sword practice was like a rehearsal for the assassination operation that would take place ten days later.
People practicing swordsmanship, people pounding medicine, the atmosphere in the side room of the Imperial Medical Office seemed cold but orderly.
Suddenly, a "dong-dong" banging sound was heard on the door.
Ji Ping and his son Ji Miao were startled. They both looked at the door warily, and Ji Ping's wooden stick for pounding medicine couldn't help but stop.
"Shh..."
Because it was a special season, Ji Ping seemed very cautious. He winked at his son Ji Miao, then raised his voice and asked, "It's so late? Who is it?"
"Dad, it's me..."
Only Chen Yi pretended to have the same solemn expression as everyone else, but secretly he was already muttering in his heart:
——"The so-called walls have ears, and it's true... This action is like walking on the tip of a knife, narrowly avoiding death... walking on thin ice!" 』
As Jimu chanted this sentence, the place in the Imperial Medical Office suddenly became quiet.
"It's the school affairs office."
Li Miao smiled and said, "Haha, since the Beggar Clan disciple brought you here, you should be able to tell that the Beggar Clan disciple you contacted has surrendered to Wei, haha... Okay, Wei Xi, Gathering comrades...with the intention of seizing Luoyang and killing the king, you have taken the courage of a bear and a leopard!"
Ji Ping nodded heavily... "What Wei Sizhi said is true, what he said is true -"
With a "clang", the door of the Taiyuan Hospital was pushed open again. This time came the Shaofu Geng Ji, the Prime Minister Si Zhiwei Huang, and the Changle Guard Chen Yi...
A silence that is as audible as the drop of a needle!
From time to time there are the cries of prisoners being beaten...
Yes... the action will begin in ten days, and the inside and outside will conspire to capture Luoyang and kill Cao Cao... At this juncture, Wei Xi was led into the school affairs office by a mysterious man...
...
"You all know?" Ji Ping looked at the three people who came in a hurry...
Because Zhuang Yifang, the six-pack elder of the Beggar Gang who usually contacted him, brought him into the school affairs office.
This…
Jimu sighed deeply, with infinite fear and worry, "Dad, it's not good, just now... After we left the secret passage, the child left something there, so he went to get it. …I never thought that when I saw Mr. Wei Xi being taken away by a man, the child was curious...so he followed quietly, never thinking that...the place where he was taken was...is..."
"Brother...what is it? You told me..." Seeing his brother gasping for air, Jimiao asked quickly.
This?
Undoubtedly, this cast a heavy haze over the implementation of the entire operation and the great cause of the three prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
Having said this, he advised: "Everyone, we can't act rashly now. This is a blessing, not a curse, but we can't avoid it..."
Speaking of which, this is the first time Wei Xi has been interrogated as a "prisoner"...
This room cannot be regarded as a serious court, but it is more stressful than a court. Because the room is small and dark, it looks gloomy. There are heavy shackles, whips, and soldering irons on the wall.
Li Miao's sudden words made Wei Xi's whole head buzz. He went to look for Zhuang Yifang who had brought him here at a loss, but...it was pitch black on all sides, and there was no trace of a human being anywhere.
This…
Silence…
Wei Xi felt that his brain was "buzzing".
Where is the school office? It was Cao Cao who specially set up a hundred supervisory officials to detect all information. They were... the darkest, dirty and despicable side of the majestic Wei Dynasty.
Among them, there is always no shortage of trickery, and there is also no lack of big money and inducements.
"I don't know..."
For a moment, everyone here frowned, with complex and solemn expressions...
Ji Ping asked hurriedly: "What? Did something happen?"
At this moment, "Wei Xi!" a voice sounded from the dark courtroom, and then... Wei Xi saw a dim light in the courtroom gradually light up.
...
Jimu just finished speaking...
On both sides stood shirtless and muscular torturers. Their indifferent expressions seemed to tell the prisoners that here, if they are dragons, they must be coiled, and if they are tigers, they must be held!
"Haier sent people to keep an eye on the school affairs office... Mr. Wei hasn't come out yet. It's been... half an hour, right?"
Hearing that it was their other son Jimu, the hanging stones in Jiping and Jimiao's hearts finally fell to the ground safely. But as the locked door opened, Jimu's extremely nervous face... suddenly appeared. In front of his father and his brother.
"My son... do you know? What did Zijing (Wei Xi) commit? But is it related to the actions ten days later?"
Wei Xi suddenly felt something bad. In this situation, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Mr. Li is a famous person Xi Xi respects. In the past, when Mr. Li met Cao Zijian at Gongzi's wine shop, he said, 'You must be satisfied with everything in life.'" "Happy, don't let the golden cup stand in the sky against the moon"... The younger generation was filled with emotion and admiration. They recited it silently and kept it in their hearts... Once upon a time, the younger generation hoped to become such an open-minded and free-spirited person as Mr. Li, but today, Li Why did you wrong me, sir? I have never gathered any comrades, let alone thought of seizing Luoyang or killing the king... Why did Mr. Li say all this?"
His eyes kept rolling in his sockets. Chen Yi clenched his fists and felt his heart pounding, as if he had made a final decision.
The person behind the lamp is no stranger to Wei Xi. It is Li Miao, a famous scholar in Shu who has made great achievements many times in recent years and was even appointed as the deputy director of the Wei Academy Office because of his merits. Li Miao is the madman in the world!
Wei Xi met Li Miao's gaze, "I wonder what crime I committed? Was I brought to this school affairs office by Mr. Li?"
Wei Huang shook his head... "We...we just found out about this action today. How could...it be leaked?"
He knew that at such a sensitive time, everyone should not meet at the Imperial Medical Office, but when the matter was urgent, they all came here. How could Ji Ping not understand this feeling?
"Could it be because... our actions were leaked?" Geng Ji asked...
"Then...how long have you been detained in the school affairs office?" Yu Ji's voice began to tremble, and his whole forehead was covered with sweat. This matter can be big or small, but in the big picture, it is not a joke...it is necessary What matters is hundreds or thousands of lives.
——"I...I, Chen Yi, have a good life and a bright future...but I can't just...die like this with them!" 』
"Haha, pretending? Are you still pretending?" Li Miao grinned, showing a contemptuous smile, "Then Zhuang Yifang has already done all the tricks? Pretending? Haha, can you keep pretending?"
"I wonder what Mr. Li is talking about?"
"Don't know? Okay, I have a lot of ways to let you know!" Li Miao's eyes were cold, and he immediately ordered, "Come here, twenty sticks..."
The expressionless torture officer came over and wanted to drag Wei Xi away. Wei Xi waved his hands in disgust: "What are you doing? You are trying to beat me to death! Why bother to incriminate someone?"
"Whether you have a tough mouth or a tough stick..." Li Miao knelt down and looked down at Wei Xi with a smile, "I'll give you one last chance. Tell me, who are your accomplices? Say... say - —”
"I..." Wei Xi felt complicated and painful, but in his heart... his expectations for the rise of the Han Dynasty, the pride of celebrities, and the eternal loyalty in his heart... all these... made him grit his teeth, "I don't know that Li What did you say, sir?"
"Beat...and be punished——"
Li Miao immediately ordered...
Under the control of a group of jailers, Wei Xi was pressed to the ground. The executioners on both sides lifted up his robe and knocked it off Wei Xi's buttocks with their sticks.
Although Wei Tie was not a pampered man, he was still a noble son. This was the first time he experienced such physical torture. The pain made sweat roll down his forehead. He could only grit his teeth and said nothing.
The twenty sticks were quickly finished, and there was a blood stain behind Wei Xi.
The executioner walked away, Wei Xi took a deep breath, tremblingly stood up on his knees, stood up again with difficulty, and looked at Li Miao calmly...
And this seems to have not achieved the effect Li Miao hoped for.
"Recruit or not? Your accomplice!"
"I do not know what you're talking about?"
"Come here, hang me up and whip him—" Li Miao's eyes were fierce, and his tone was extremely firm.
Wei Xi felt as if his lower body was about to fall apart...
But now, besides persisting, what else can he do?
Immediately afterwards, there was a clear sound of whipping in the execution chamber, heavy clouds billowed in the sky, the sky darkened, and the faint sound of thunder could be heard.
On the other hand, Li Miao, Wei Xi's painful look appeared in his fierce eyes, and there was a strange look in his eyes.
This expression seems to be explaining his always unreasonable behavior here.
"call--"
Taking a deep breath, Li Miao couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"Wei Xi, Wei Xi, you must withstand this torture. Only by being able to withstand this torture will you be able to prove your 'loyalty' to Cao Cao and make Cao Cao relax his vigilance against you. In this way...then you Only then can we have a chance! 』
Bitter meat scheme…
What Li Miao is now executing is exactly the trick ordered by Guan Lin!
The rebellion within Luoyang was closely related, and Cao Cao was suspicious by nature... In addition to the fact that things were leaked, Wei Xi's rebellion in history was closely related to the countless eyes within Cao Wei!
Only if Wei Xi withstands this caning and flogging, Cao Cao will relax his guard against Wei Xi, and they will have a chance!
Seeing Wei Xi's painful expression... Li Miao's mind was still racing. "Withstand this, things... will be more than half settled!" Wei Xi, Wei Xi, you must resist——』
需知
...When Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Taiwei Yang Biao, who was in Xuchang City, was implicated and imprisoned. He was falsely accused of colluding with Yuan Shu to murder Cao Cao... It was Man Chong who tried this case.
Many people advised Man Chong not to torture Yang Biao because of his special status and reputation.
Who would have thought that Man Chong... would not only punish him, but also punish him with the heaviest punishment!
But in the end, it was this most severe punishment that saved Yang Biao...
Because... in Cao Cao's view, anyone who can withstand such a punishment as Man Chong without being punished must be unjust!
This is enough to prove that Yang Biao did not cooperate with Yuan Shu and intended to murder him!
In the same way...
What Li Miao is doing to Wei Xi now is just like what Man Chong did to Yang Biao back then.
call…
Finally letting out a deep breath, Li Miao knelt down again, his cheek almost touching Wei Xi's blood-covered cheek.
"Are you recruiting? Or not?"
"I do not know what you're talking about?"
Same questions, same answers...
However, after Wei Xi's answer this time, Li Miao chanted in a very light and thin voice that only he and Wei Xi could hear: "Hold on! Stop! Kah!"
It was precisely because of these three words as thin as a gossamer that Wei Xi's originally desperate eyes suddenly opened... and widened.
He seemed to be filled with energy in an instant.
——"It turns out that Li Miao, the deputy director of the school affairs office...is the person that Shiro Guanjia asked the Beggars to bring me to see!" 』
——"Hehe, hehe... Hahaha, hahaha... It turns out that Mr. Li is... one of our own!" Hahaha...hahahaha...I never thought that the scene when I met this person would be a bit violent, haha...hahahaha..."
Suddenly, Wei Xi, whose face was covered in blood, seemed to be no longer afraid!
He is not afraid at all!
No matter how painful his expression was, he was laughing in his heart, his laughter was rippling, and he was laughing with relief——
...
...
"Hahahaha..." A burst of laughter came from Cao Cao's mouth.
At this moment, he was standing in the main hall. In front of him, besides Cheng Yu, there were several craftsmen.
These craftsmen were all sent by Cheng Yu to inspect the batch of white phosphorus brought by Cao Pi and Zhu Ling...
Now, they were chatting and reporting, explaining in detail how to verify the authenticity of this batch of white phosphorus. The details during the process made Cao Cao look sideways and moved.
Finally, after they reported the truth, Cao Cao laughed, "It's true, good, good... I didn't expect that it would be General Zihuan and Zhu Ling who helped Gu Gu obtain this white phosphorus. They can be said to be generals this time." The merits atone for one's sins, especially for Zihuan. It is so comforting to be lonely, and it is so comforting to be lonely...ah, hahahahaha..."
Cao Cao's mood today was like a roller coaster, and he was so excited when he welcomed Zuo Ci and Jiang Yan...
He was furious after learning that the batch of white phosphorus was fake and that he was severely played by Guan Lin and those Jiangdong clans.
It's all right now, maybe it will be better...it's not bright in the east, but it's bright in the west...
His son Cao Pi completed all the unfinished tasks of Zuo Ci and Jiang Juan, who had high hopes.
OK…
OK!
Having said that, Cao Cao had more than ten sons. Among them, Cao Cao loved and loved Cao Chong and Cao Zhi the most. Regarding Cao Pi... even though he was the eldest son, Cao Cao always had a lukewarm attitude towards him, and would even treat him Sent to Soochow as hostages to attack Jingzhou together!
Of course, the fall of Soochow and the rise of Jingzhou made Cao Cao extremely angry. However, Cao Pi was in Soochow. Naturally, this anger was also passed on to Cao Pi.
During that time, Cao Cao was not that concerned about Cao Pi's life, death, and comfort.
Fu Ji Tai is here!
Whether it is for Cao Cao or Cao Pi, the success of this operation to steal white phosphorus is undoubtedly... a blessing in disguise!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and also Congratulations, Mr. Pi..."
Cheng Yu saw Cao Cao's joy and quickly congratulated him, "They say a tiger father has no dog son. How many setbacks has the king experienced in his life? But the strength of the king is these setbacks... they did not defeat the king, but made him change again and again. He has become stronger and more powerful. It seems... Master Pi also has the same qualities as the king. This quality is the blessing of the Wei Dynasty, the blessing of the Wei Dynasty..."
"Hahahaha..." Cheng Yu's words made Cao Cao feel good for a while, "When did Zhongde's words become so melodious? How come those words are like drinking fine wine, making people intoxicated!"
At this point, Cao Cao asked directly: "Where is my son Huan? Where is the batch of white phosphorus stored?"
"In Chenliu..." Cheng Yu reported truthfully, "Because we are taking the land route, it is not fast... But fortunately, we have General Zang Ba and the Taishan soldiers escorting us, so it is safe and secure... According to the progress, we can reach Luoyang in about five days. Yes...but this white phosphorus is very dangerous when it is burned by fire. How to store it? I hope the king will make a plan early..."
Store...this...
Needless to say, the emergence of this problem really made Cao Cao hesitate.
The best thing is to send this white phosphorus to the workshop and place it on the imitation flying balls at any time. Once the preparation is completed, this time the flying balls surprise Xuchang, it will definitely replicate the infernal sea of fire in Fancheng. Let Guan Yu, Fu Shiren, Guan Jiajun, and Jingzhou soldiers also experience the feeling of the fire dragon spreading and life being worse than death.
But... considering the danger of this white phosphorus, as for the workshop... if something goes wrong...
For a moment, Cao Cao couldn't help but hesitate.
at this time.
The door creaked open, and at the same time there was a strong and powerful voice, "Your Majesty... why should we discuss the storage of white phosphorus? Just store it directly in the workshop at the Imperial Tomb in Beimang Mountain..."
Hmm...Cao Cao went out looking for prestige, and it was Li Miao who entered here.
Because Li Miao mentioned something before. Recently... there were rumors that some Han officials were very close to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. These loyal Han officials were ready to make a move, which made him feel a little strange...
When he said this, Cao Cao immediately thought of the scene in the past when Dong Cheng issued the "Edict on Clothes and Belts".
So Cao Cao sent the school affairs office to investigate...
However, the number one figure in the school affairs office, Cheng Yu, was busy with the verification of "white phosphorus", so... it was Li Miao who led the investigation!
It is precisely based on this that Cao Cao gave Li Miao the right to report to the Wei Palace at any time. For this reason... Li Miao entered the palace and did not encounter any obstruction from the Tiger Army.
"Mr. Li means to store it directly in the workshop in Beimang? But if he accidentally lights the candle, wouldn't it be..."
Cao Cao raised his doubts.
"Hahahahaha..." Li Miao looked like a madman as always, he laughed and said, "If you are not careful, the white phosphorus will not be safe anywhere you store it... Instead of placing your hope in the place where it is stored, it is better to... take strict care of it! "
Speaking of this, Li Miao paused for a moment, and then suggested: "White phosphorus, such an important material, is related to whether the flames can burn Xuchang City next time and severely dampen Guan Yu's pride. Be careful, it will cause irreparable losses to the Wei Dynasty, so... I propose that the king can send tens of thousands of troops to garrison Beimang Emperor's Mausoleum, with soldiers guarding the outside, and the stone steps of the Emperor's Mausoleum blocking the inside, even if it is The enemy knows this technique of storing white phosphorus and wants to light a fire? He needs to cross tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to dig through the thick stone steps and stone slabs of the imperial mausoleum? Such and such...setting a fire...isn't easy? Your Majesty...why are you worried?"
Don't say...
Although Li Miao had not participated in this matter before, he only heard some content, but he put forward such an opinion, and even made Cao Cao agree for a while, thinking that this method is feasible...
He pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "According to Mr. Li's suggestion, find a water source in Beimang Mountain and store the white phosphorus in it. There will be densely guarded posts within twenty miles of the water source in the school affairs office, and the Huben Army will participate in the garrison. The barracks were placed in the imperial mausoleum, and the water source was blocked with stone slabs...Then the batch of white phosphorus was quickly loaded, and when everything was ready, it was immediately sent into the sky, and the flying ball soldiers of the Wei Dynasty completely destroyed the city of Xuchang. Burn——"
Follow Cao Cao's orders.
Li Miao and Cheng Yu both raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have learned from you."
It seems that because of the failures of Zuo Ci and Ge Xuan, Cao Cao subconsciously thought that Guan Lin only guarded one place and ignored the other. It was precisely because of this... that he had no regard for the batch of white phosphorus sent by Cao Pi. No precautions at all, and full of trust.
Cao Cao continued, "Zi Huan and General Zhu Ling did a good job this time, but...at this time, we cannot reward them yet. I have ordered to grant Zuo Ci and Jiang Juan..."
what…
Cheng Yu was a little confused by Cao Cao's order... He quickly asked: "Did Zuo Ci and Jiang Juan send fake white phosphorus? The king did not remove their rewards, but instead added them again. This..."
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed, "First of all... I want to bring this batch of fake 'white phosphorus' that Zuo Ci brought and store it elsewhere. The world will only pay attention to this batch of fake white phosphorus, but few people know about the imperial mausoleum. The white phosphorus here is the real thing. Secondly... these "fake white phosphorus" from Zuo Ci and Jiang Juan were sent by the Jiangdong clan. They deceived Gu, but Gu couldn't admit it. Gu wanted to tell the world that these Jiangdong people The rich people helped me get white phosphorus, so I want to let the Central Plains and the North know that his men, Guan Lin, are never monolithic! The soldiers of the Wei Dynasty need this confidence!"
This…
Cao Cao's words made Li Miao and Cheng Yu blink their eyes repeatedly, as if they were deep in thought at the moment.
On the other hand, Cao Cao seemed to be in a good mood after solving the white phosphorus storage problem. He immediately changed the subject and asked Li Miao, "Mr. Li is not here to solve the white phosphorus problem, is he? Come on, Zhongde happens to be here, too. Tell me...what are those Han ministers doing recently? Are they planning to rebel?"
...
