Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 190: Let Zhang Jingshou go to Jiangnan and fall into the water?

"Xun Qing, you have always been upright and upright. The King of Wei may not be enough. This time I need you to cooperate with the King of Wei to handle this matter."

After announcing the arrangements for King Wei, Emperor Qi looked at Xun Fangdao again.

"I obey the order." Xun Fang solemnly accepted the order. The only one who could cooperate with the King of Wei in doing this was him, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel, the second-in-command among the civil servants of Da Qi, the most powerful person in the Yingchuan gentry, and the leader of the Yingchuan gentry. leader.

"Thank you for your help, Minister Xun."

Upon hearing that he was working with Xun Fang this time, King Wei suddenly became more energetic and had a friendly smile on his face.

Among Cao Wei's advisers, Cao Cao's leader is Xun You, and the one with the most congenial temperament is Guo Jia, but if you want to say who is most important to him, it must be Xun Yu.

Even in a certain sense, Xun Yu was not Cao Cao's counselor, but Cao Cao's partner.

He single-handedly raised the entire adviser group for Cao Cao.

Therefore, even if Xun Fang, who embodies Xun Yu's dharma, is not the official minister, but just a wise man in the field, the King of Wei is still willing to take care of him personally. What's more, Xun Fang is still the official minister, in charge of the promotion evaluation of major officials?
It's just a pity that Xun Fang has always kept a distance from him, which made King Wei very disappointed and complained in his heart. Xun Yu and Cao Cao were separated at that time, and it was Cao Cao who usurped the Han Dynasty. However, King Wei's surname is Zhang and he is the eldest son. His ascension to the throne is justifiable. , now I finally have a chance.

"Okay, there is no one here, so there is no need to be restrained. If you and Jing Shou get along like friends, just treat me as an ordinary uncle and elder. Come and stroll around the back garden with me." Emperor Qi smiled, took the initiative to come down and said .

Ji Ren also felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Your Majesty, don't you know what your orders are for me to stay?"

"What do you think of my arrangement?" Emperor Qi asked.

why? You have something good again, why don’t you take me with you?

Ji Ren had just been to this place on New Year's Eve, but now that he came again, there was nothing new, it was grand and prosperous.

Ji Ren was slightly stunned, wondering why he was left alone?
"Father, why did you keep Lao Ji?" Zhang Jingshou asked directly for Ji Ren.

Zhang Jingshou was defeated and retreated with a group of people.

"I don't dare." Xun Fang responded politely.

For a moment, only Emperor Qi and Ji Ren were left in the empty imperial study.

He didn't want to get close to the King of Wei, not because of the Dharma appearance, but because he was a good king of heaven and an official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He was deeply trusted by the Emperor of Qi and could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. Why would he go into the water?
It's just that Emperor Qi has a fate, so he can only cooperate this time. After all, the Sima family cannot stay.

"Everyone, please step back. Uncle Qingyong will stay." After the arrangements were made, Emperor Qi said again.

After all, although Ji Ren now holds the salary of Emperor Qi, Ji Ren doesn't take the salary of a count at all, and the strength of the Sima family has not emerged yet, and what is revealed is probably just the tip of the iceberg. With such a small salary, what are you trying to do with your life?
"To be honest, Zhuge Yuquan's disciple is not a person who can only say flattery." Emperor Qi shook his head helplessly and said, this kid is good at everything, but sometimes he doesn't act like a ten-year-old at all. A passionate young man of eight or nine years old, Emperor Qi often wanted to harmonize the personalities of Ji Ren and Zhang Jingshou.

No matter which one, Ji Ren doesn't want it.

"What's there to be afraid of? If you can play with that kid Jing Shou, how can you be timid?" Emperor Qi chuckled, walked down the steps, and led Ji Ren into the imperial garden.

"Back off." Emperor Qi did not answer, but glanced at Zhang Jingshou coldly.

"I speak from my heart. I have little knowledge and am not as good as Your Majesty. How can I speak well of Your Majesty?" Ji Ren said.

If Ji Ren pointed it out now that the situation was not handled well, there would be two consequences. One would be that Emperor Qi was furious and Ji Ren would cause trouble for himself; the other was that Emperor Qi was overjoyed and asked Ji Ren to check for leaks and make up for them.

It was not Ji Ren's turn to take care of Emperor Qi's arrangements.

"Your Majesty has far-sightedness and foresight, which is beyond the reach of this minister." Ji Ren said without hesitation.

"I don't dare." Ji Ren couldn't figure out Emperor Qi's thoughts, so he pushed the envelope, but in his mind he was quickly thinking about Emperor Qi's intentions. Why did he leave him alone?
Reuse him? Reward him?
Weird.

If he can get Xun Fang, he will lose his life.

"To be honest, no matter whether you are right or wrong, I will not punish you. Otherwise, I will marry Qiao Qingyu right now." Emperor Qi said.

"Your Majesty, this is too much." Ji Ren's expression changed when he heard this, although he knew that Emperor Qi would not do this. After all, Emperor Qi's temperament was considered good by the emperor, and even if Emperor Qi really issued the decree, it would not be successful. But if Emperor Qi threatens him like this and he doesn't respond, it would be really inappropriate.

"Of course, I am the Son of Heaven, the Supreme Being, and I must set an example for all people in every word and deed. If I am teasing a junior like you in private, if I don't go too far, then wouldn't I lose all interest in life?" Qi Di laughed. road.

"Not necessarily. King Ming often said that His Majesty likes to be in the harem the most. I think it would be a lot of fun." Ji Ren said. "This traitor." When Emperor Qi heard this, he immediately cursed angrily, but after he finished cursing, Ji Ren changed the subject and looked at Ji Ren and said, "I haven't said what you think yet. What do you think of King Wei?" Can they do good things with King Wu?"

"Your Majesty, we can't get close to each other even if we are not close," Ji Ren said.

"So I asked you before they did anything." Emperor Qi said with a smile.

"It depends on whether they want to handle it well, especially King Wu." Ji Ren said directly, knowing that he couldn't escape.

In fact, when this matter was handed over to the kings of Wei and Wu, he knew it well before he met the emperor.

After all, Jiangnan and Yingchuan are both very important, and it is not known who has been bribed, so the person investigating must be a member of the royal family.

Because only the Zhang family will not betray Da Qi.

However, due to the great chaos in Xiliang thirty-seven years ago, many of the Da Qi emperor's grandsons were killed and injured, resulting in the Da Qi royal family not having much blood.

Apart from those who are retiring and practicing Taoism in Huangtian Temple, the one who is apparently the same generation as Emperor Qi is King Anle, and under Emperor Qi there are several princes and Prince Anle.

King Anle will not check, and King Anle does not have this ability.

Therefore, it was logical for the kings of Wei and Wu to investigate.

We can only let the two of them conduct self-examination, otherwise, if it were the princes, it might become a means of uniting the party and defeating the dissenters.

And once things turn into partisan disputes, the truth doesn't matter.

"What do you mean? Still holding grudges against King Wu?" Emperor Qi said.

"To be honest, I say I hold a grudge. In fact, I hate the King of Wei even more, because now the King of Wu can no longer hurt me, but the King of Wei is different." Ji Rendao.

"You should be more direct and continue talking." Emperor Qi said with a smile.

"The two things your Majesty gave to King Wei and King Wu are not easy. Needless to say, the investigation of Jiangnan is a matter of fact. The major families in Jiangnan are intermarried and their relationships are intertwined. It is even more troublesome to investigate. And in history, people who are related to the Sima family are also There are too many. After all, intermarriage between aristocratic families is the norm. Even if the Sima family destroyed Cao Wei, the Xiahou family, who was half a clan of Cao Wei, was still married to the Sima family. As one of the two Xiahou of Cao Wei, Xiahou Guangji, the great-grandson of Xiahou Yuan on the right side of Hubu Pass, She is the birth mother of Emperor Jin Yuan. Let alone other families." Ji Ren said slowly.

Emperor Qi nodded slightly, but he really didn't expect that Ji Ren could fully understand his thoughts. His eyes looking at Ji Ren were filled with admiration.

"So these two matters can only be investigated by the King of Wei and the King of Wu. Otherwise, if they are investigated by others, I am afraid that the investigation will not be carried out at all, and it will turn into a party struggle. But if you investigate it for them and investigate yourself, then There is also a hidden danger, which is covering up, maybe unintentionally, maybe because of being deceived, but it will always lead to incompleteness." Ji Ren said to himself.

"But the King of Wei and Shangshu Xun are both very human beings. The King of Wei will not allow his subordinates to have two ends. If their loyalty is not absolute, then in the eyes of the King of Wei, they are absolutely disloyal, especially if it may be related to the Sima family. Who among the princes hates the Sima family the most must be King Wei, so King Wei will definitely be cruel, and Shangshu Xun will also help, so they will not have any problems."

"But the King of Wu is different. Firstly, the King of Wu is young and may not be as powerful as the King of Wei. Secondly, the King of Wu is weak. The King of Wei is His Majesty's eldest son and a powerful king, so he can wield a sword. , but King Wu may not have the ability to swing the sword at the Jiangnan nobles now, after all, he is only nineteen. And he may not be willing to swing the sword. After all, after swinging the sword, no matter whether it is successful or not, his vitality will be seriously injured. So whether it is to wield the sword or to conquer Jiangnan's power, I don't know." Ji Rendao.

Ji Ren actually has a lot of confidence in the King of Wei, but to be honest, he really has no confidence in the King of Wu. Unless the King of Wu has no selfish motives and is dedicated to the public, it will probably not work well, and he may be betrayed.

After all, it is not Sun Quan himself who has gathered Sun Quan’s legal ministers. If it is middle-aged Sun Quan who goes down, then it will not be a big problem. After all, Sun Quan is a leader in troubled times. Even though his commander is not particularly outstanding, his status is still as stable as Mount Tai, and he mainly focuses on one strategy. , the four major families in Jiangdong were all beheaded by him. The king of Wei and Wu coaxed Cao Pi with empty talk. In the end, he refused to hand over the hostage and blatantly played tricks on Cao Pi, making Cao Pi furious but helpless.

To be precise, the nineteen-year-old Sun Quan was also the age of shooting tigers. At that time, Sun Quan probably felt that his future performance on the battlefield would not be inferior to that of his father and brother.

"Yes, what you said is exactly what I am worried about. So Jiangnan needs to be investigated by King Wu, but it can't just be done by King Wu, someone needs to go there," said Emperor Qi.

"Your Majesty, you want me to go?" Ji Ren said, do you believe in my loyalty so much?

"No, let Jing Shou go." Emperor Qi shook his head slightly.

"what?"

Ji Ren's eyes widened when he heard this. He asked Zhang Jingshou to go to Jiangnan. Are you kidding me?

We must know that Zhang Jingshou's condensed Dharma image Zhu Houzhao was due to his southern tour, personally went to the south of the Yangtze River, and then fell into the water, which led to his early death.

Why should Zhang Jingshou go to Jiangnan now?

Are you afraid that if he doesn't meet his destined fate, he will fall into the water?
Or does it mean that this son really doesn’t want it anymore?
