Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 605 Destination: Jiankang

The Wei Dynasty in the world beneath his feet has not shed the fatigue of the previous dynasty.

On the contrary, after Cao Pi came to power, he adopted Chen Qun's nine-rank official system, which pushed the family to a whole new level.

Only then did Sima sit in power and kill the king to usurp the throne.

Cao Cao smiled, closed his book and shook his head.

It stands to reason that he should be angry, but he is not.

First of all, the Sima family made a fatal mistake.

On the surface, he, Sima Hanoi, was indeed the biggest winner under the ninth-grade official system.

actually not.

In such a deformed system, only a member of a well-established family can stand proudly and detached from the world.

On the contrary, it is because they have stepped into a position that they should not have stepped into, and there is only pain and torture waiting for them.

Because the essence of aristocratic families is to seize power, seize more power from the emperor, and thereby develop and strengthen their own family.

From the day the Sima family became the royal family, they were actually on the opposite side of the family.

The families that supported them in the past will only intensify their efforts to eat more flesh and blood from their bodies.

If the descendants of Sima want to revive Chao Gang, it is like a dream.

Their political decrees were even inferior to those of the Liu family at the end of the Han Dynasty.

The so-called emperor is just a decoration sitting in the court.

He could only listen to what the people below said.

Otherwise, they will jointly submit a letter and be dismissed from office collectively.

At that time, under the nine-level official selection system, the emperor suddenly fell into the embarrassing situation of having no one available, and even had to bow to the nobles in exchange for short-term peace.

The cabin door curtain opened and Zhang Wu stooped in.

"Father-in-law, why don't we go to Chang'an to see Cao Cheng first, and instead go straight to Jiangnan. That's Sima Jin's base there. If we go there so arrogantly, we don't take them seriously."

"It's okay. With Zi Qian by my side, there is nowhere in the world that I dare not go or cannot go."

Zhang Wu himself didn't know whether he should take these words as good words.

Is it necessary to be so floating?

He had visited Jiankang in person, and many soldiers of the Jin army had seen him.

If he was really surrounded by a large army, he wouldn't care, he could just fight to his heart's content.

But if Cao Cao has three advantages and two disadvantages, the fun will be great.

"No, just go ahead if I say so. What are you laughing at?"

"I laughed that Sima Yi had exhausted all his tricks, but I didn't expect that the world would be like this, right? Even without your description, I can guess the misery of the Sima family. The family is too big to be defeated, and it is too weak to stand upright as the emperor. The person on the throne is like a puppet in other people's hands, sad, deplorable, and pitiable."

As soon as Cao Cao said this, Zhang Wu suddenly thought of another possibility:
"This matter, maybe it really has nothing to do with Sima Yi. After all, he is not the one who usurped the throne. Maybe Sima Yi just took power, but with too much power in his hands, he no longer has the ability to influence the decisions of future generations."

"It makes sense."

Cao Cao threw down the scroll in his hand: "How long does it take to reach Jiangdong? Let's go to Jiankang City to have a drink."

"We'll be here in half an hour. Don't go to the restaurant. I'll take you to a quiet place. You can drink as much as you want."

"That's fine too."

Sure enough, after a while, the feeling of the boat swaying along the river under my feet became weaker and weaker, and then disappeared completely.

Xu Chu opened the boat curtain and said angrily: "My lord, we have arrived."

"Okay, the boatman's ferrying skills are good, reward him." Xu Chu took the order and dropped a bag of gold under the surprised gaze of the boatman, which made him stunned for a while.

The group of people went ashore and walked a long way, but the honest ferry man was still chasing after them.

He didn't know that it was a reward from a big shot, he just thought that the big and round man had dropped his money bag.
Jiankang, Xie Mansion.

After Xie An negotiated the compensation agreement with the Southern Jin Dynasty on behalf of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was completely marginalized by the Southern Jin Dynasty family.

If the Southern Jin Dynasty wanted to make the original navy retreat and redeem Huan Wen's hundreds of thousands of troops, they would definitely have to pay a price.

The Sima family's meager treasury alone is definitely not enough for such a huge war compensation.

But the aristocratic families of the Southern Jin Dynasty could not let the court die like this.

In any case, as long as the Southern Jin Dynasty is still there, they will have the opportunity to continue to dominate.

Once the Northern Wei Dynasty unified the world, their good days would come to an end.

After the treasury is drained, the remaining compensation will naturally be made up by the aristocratic families working together.

Over time, Xie Xuan became their vent.

The problem is that Xie Xuan, Xie An's nephew, was the commander-in-chief of the Nandu Navy in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Controls one hundred thousand navy. If they really dare to do anything to Xie An, whoever will die first may die.

It's just that the Langya Xie Mansion, which used to be full of people, now seems to be empty.

Xie An also enjoyed the peace and quiet, doing calligraphy and painting at home every day to cultivate his sentiments.

"Master, that man came back that day and brought four guests."

Xie An did not reveal Zhang Wu's true identity to his servants.

Just by the servant's words, he almost guessed the identity of the visitor.

"Please come in quickly, I will go out to greet you personally."

Outside the mansion.

"Is this the secluded place Zi Qian said?"

"What do you think, father-in-law?"

"The mansion is quite elegant, but there's not even a stranger within a mile. It's a bit deserted."

"This Xie An is a real gentleman, similar to Wen Ruo. My father-in-law will be very happy to get along with him."

"Really? Then I'll wait and see."

moment,

The door of the mansion opens and Xie An comes out.

Xu Chu and Xu Guan subconsciously stepped forward to protect him with their swords in hand.

Zhang Wu was standing with Cao Cao on his left side.

After Xie An was stunned for a moment, he stepped forward to greet Cao Pi and said, "People in the countryside have seen Wei Wu and Jin Wu." When he was done, he bowed his hand to Cao Pi.

It's not because Xie An didn't realize Cao Pi's identity.

In fact, it was because in such an occasion, Wei Wu must be respected, and he would go over to say hello one by one. Obviously, there was no prioritization.

"Oh? How did you find out my identity, sir?"

"It's like being accompanied by brave warriors to protect you, and the martial arts of Jin Dynasty are not strong enough to win over the respected people. Looking at the past and present, we should not think twice."

"Hahahaha, Zi Qian is right, you are indeed an interesting person."

"We would also like to ask Wei Wu to condescend to move to his humble abode." Before entering, Xie An did not forget to ask his servants to prepare good food and wine.
