Soldiers come to the world

Mi Ying was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. He thought he had encountered bandits, and the public security was not good these two days. Whatever comes.

Mi Ying looked back tremblingly, and saw two big men in black standing behind him, staring at him fiercely, Mi Ying suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen these two when he left the palace, did they keep staring at him?

"Two strong men. What's the matter?" Mi Ying asked with a trembling voice.

"Are you the eunuch in the palace?" One person asked coldly.

A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Mi Ying's heart, real bandits would not ask themselves this way, they would just grab the money and leave, regardless of their identity?He nodded again and again, "I am!"

"Then please come with us!"

Mi Ying was shocked, "Where are you going?"

"Not far, just follow us."

Two men in black sandwiched him from left to right, covered his eyes with a black cloth, held Mi Ying to an alley not far away, passed through the alley, and came to another street near the west gate. Go up, then enter an alley, and soon come to a gate.

Mi Ying felt that there was a knife on his waist, and he didn't dare to make a sound all the way. Until then, he secretly looked up from the gap in his blindfold, and faintly saw the word "tavern" written on the plaque. It turned out that this place is A tavern.

But the two men in black didn't go through the main entrance, but entered the backyard of the tavern from the side door, led him into a windowless cabin, untied his blindfold, and pushed him in.

The room was brightly lit. There were two big men in black standing on either side, and a thin black man sitting in the middle. There were about fifty people. Mi Ying suddenly felt that this person looked familiar. Pointing at the man, he said in surprise, "You are. Li Canjun!"

This person is Li Fu. His people have been staring at Ye Palace, preparing to arrest a eunuch, but they did not expect to arrest Mi Ying by mistake. Li Fu saw that the other party knew him, so he also looked at him. Suddenly he laughed loudly, "It's God's will! Since Director Mi has been invited here."

When Mi Ying was Liu Xie's envoy to Xiangyang, it was the route that Li Fu arranged for him, so the two knew each other. Mi Ying suddenly understood that he was captured by the Han army. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down He fell to the ground, "I beg Li Canjun to spare his life!"

Li Fu waved his hand to make his subordinates back down, and then said coldly to him: "You promised to serve His Highness the King of Han back then, but there was no news in the end, do you also know that you are guilty?"

Mi Ying was so frightened that tears and nose flowed, and begged: "I haven't forgotten, but I don't know how to serve His Highness, so I have been ignorant all these years."

Mi Ying didn't dare to say that he had served Cao Cao and betrayed Empress Fu. Although Cao Cao kicked him away in the end and didn't use him anymore, the matter of Empress Fu had always been his heart disease, but Li Fu didn't know This palace case was caused by Mi Ying in the dark. He also remembered that he had never approached Mi Ying, so it was no wonder that he was ineffective and had no mission at all. How could he be effective?

Li Fu's tone softened a lot, he waved his hands and said, "Mr. Mi, please sit down!"

Mi Ying sensed the change in Li Fu's tone, and even asked him to sit down. He secretly felt lucky, and sat down tremblingly. Li Fu was ordered by Chang'an to learn more about the current situation of the current emperor Liu Xie.

Because Cao Cao strictly forbids officials to see Liu Xie, Liu Xie is actually under house arrest in disguise, and there is no way to know his situation from outsiders. Li Fu can only play the idea of ​​​​the eunuch in the palace. He has been sending people to ambush for the past two days. Outside the palace, waiting for an opportunity to catch an eunuch and come back, unexpectedly the person caught was Mi Ying, it was God's will.

Li Fu was in a good mood, so he asked with a smile, "How is Manager Mi doing?"

Mi Ying sighed, "Although I'm still the third chief in name, I'm actually not as good as a great eunuch. With three subordinates, I'm responsible for cleaning up the palace. It's sad to say."

Li Fu was also a little surprised, and asked puzzledly, "How did Manager Mi get so downcast?"

Mi Ying gritted his teeth and said, "It's all that ruthless plague man. I have served him for nearly 20 years, and now I am old, but he kicked him away like a dog."

Li Fu had also heard that Mi Ying had an affair with the Emperor Liu Xie, and now this Mi Ying was indeed not as handsome as before, only fat and his face was swollen like a pig, no wonder Liu Xie began to hate him.

Li Fu nodded, "Then if His Royal Highness wants to use you now, are you still willing to serve?"

Mi Ying knelt down on the ground, he was so excited that he almost cried out, "Yes, how could I not?"

Li Fu smiled, let him sit down, and asked him again: "Can you leave the palace at will?"

Mi Ying shook his head, "Only the cook can go out of the palace to buy ingredients. I have a very good relationship with the cook. Today he is sick, so I wear his bronze medal and go out of the palace for him."

"What are you doing out of the palace at night?" Li Fu was so sophisticated that he could immediately hear the wrong language in the other party's words.

Mi Ying was stunned for a moment, he lowered his head, and had to tell the truth: "To tell the truth, Li Canjun, I came out to sell candlesticks. I was cheated by people in the palace for gambling, and I owed a lot of money. In desperation, I had to steal things from the palace. If you come out to sell money, tomorrow is the day when the interest will be settled, if you don’t pay back the interest, you will be beaten to death by the evil slaves in the palace, but now I only have five hundred coins, what should I do tomorrow?”

Speaking of sadness, Mi Ying almost burst into tears. Li Fu heard it unbelievably, and after a while, he said with emotion: "The Palace of the Son of Heaven, is it so desolate?"

"What kind of emperor, no one has treated him like an emperor for a long time. If it weren't for the two Cao nobles, he might not even have enough to eat. We call him a plague man and a waste in private. No one in the world knows the real Han Dynasty. The Son of Heaven is in Chang'an."

"Does Liu Xie think so too?"

"Him?" Mi Ying sneered, "I'm afraid he can't wait to skin the King of Han and eat all his flesh."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Fu scolded displeasedly.

It was only then that Mi Ying realized that he had slipped his tongue, and quoted Liu Xie's original words, which made him fall to his knees again in fright, begging for mercy again and again.

Li Fu also knew that his mistake was unintentional, so he said to him: "Maybe I can help you, but you must serve the King of Han, and you must not delay what I want you to do, otherwise, I will send you to Hanwang." Cut to pieces!"

Mi Ying was frightened and grateful at the same time, with tears and snot streaming down his nose, he only kowtowed, and Li Fuling said, "Bring 50 taels of gold!"

Mi Ying was stunned, 50 taels of gold was worth [-] in Yedu, although he wanted it very much, but he knew that if so much gold was taken into the palace, it would definitely be snatched away by those evil slaves, he said in a low voice : "Just five taels is enough."

Li Fu looked at him in surprise, Eunuch Mi, who was always greedy for money, became polite, Li Fu said with a smile: "You can buy some people with gold to make it easier for you to perform tasks in the future, if it is not enough, I will give it to you again. "

"Yes! I understand." At this moment, Mi Ying suddenly changed his mind, and he thought that he could hide the gold there.

In Zhong Yao's study room, Zhong Yao and Chen Qun were sitting opposite each other drinking, a few small dishes were placed on the small table, and two bottles of wine were warmed in the copper wine bottle next to it. At present, Wei Guo is still implementing the prohibition order, but it is not as strict as before. Many high-ranking officials All drinking at home.

Zhong Yao's mansion also hid more than a dozen bottles of good wine, and it is rare to drink them out today. Chen Qun is Xun Yu's son-in-law. Although he is not from Cao Zhi's faction, he is more inclined to Cao Zhi himself. It is under his persuasion that he Cao Cao decided to transfer Cao Zhi back to Yedu, which made Cao Pi hate him deeply.

Cao Cao's serious illness made Chen Qun not in a good mood. He drank a few more glasses of wine tonight, and he lost his composure. I am so sick, today I quietly asked the imperial doctor of Tongque Palace, although he refused in every possible way, but in the end he couldn't hold me back, so he had to hint to me that the recovery of Duke Wei's body last time was not a real recovery, but just a flashback. I am old again, and I am afraid that the time will not be long."

Zhong Yao was startled, and quickly asked, "When does 'soon' mean?"

"It's not clear, but I personally infer that it will be a year at most!"

Neither of them spoke anymore, they thought of the same thing, once Duke Wei died and Cao Pi succeeded, would they have a good end?At this moment, Chen Qun sighed and asked, "Mr. Zhong, do you think the third son still has a chance to be in charge?"

Zhong Yao shook his head, "If Duke Wei is in good health, maybe he still has hope, but Duke Wei is so weak and precarious, he will never consider establishing a new heir again, even if he likes the third son again, he will not Do things that shake the foundation of the country."

Chen Qun was silent. Zhong Yao and Xun You were life and death close friends, and they also had a deep friendship with Chen Qun's father, Chen Ji, and Chen Qun was the son-in-law of the Xun family. It was these two relationships that made Zhong Yao especially concerned about Chen Qun. .

Zhong Yao understands Chen Qun's worries. He is the imperial censor Zhongcheng, and he has great power in his hands. Once Cao Pi comes to power, he will be the first to attack Chen Qun. , In fact, I want to take this opportunity to persuade my nephew to go to the Han Dynasty to become an official, to participate in the great cause of restoring the Han Dynasty, and not to disgrace the ancestors."

Perhaps Chen Qun drank a few more glasses, but he blurted out, "Why doesn't Mr. Zhong become a man?"

After finishing speaking, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue again, and quickly apologized, "Chen Qun drank too much wine and spoke indiscriminately, don't blame Mr. Zhong!"

Zhong Yao sighed slightly, "To be honest, my nephew, I went to Jiaozhou last year as a diplomatic mission, and when I came back, I went to the Han Kingdom to have a deep talk with the King of Han. He once promised me the post of Zhongshuling and the head of the Prime Minister."

Chen Qun was stunned that Liu Jing valued Zhong Yao so much, so he asked anxiously, "Then why did Mr. Zhong refuse?"

"It's hard to be human!"

Zhong Yao wryly smiled and said: "I was an envoy at the time, how could I agree? After I came back, Cao Pi ordered Yang Tian to impeach me for having liaison with Han, and found witnesses. I really can't explain it clearly. If Wei Gong is serious, he can be sentenced I had an affair with Han, so that’s fine, but Wei Gong suppressed the impeachment, ignored it, and publicly said that Yuan Chang would never betray me! So, how can I betray him and go to Han again?”

Chen Qun also sighed deeply: "So, it has missed Duke Zhong's future."

"There is no right or wrong in the struggle between the two countries. Wei Guo is not bad. It's just that after the son succeeds to the throne, we will eradicate dissidents. We will not escape the trap. I am a little better. He dare not do too much, but the nephew is hard to say. So I advise my nephew to find a way out early and not die unjustly in prison."

Chen Qun knew that what Zhong Yao said was right, and he had thought about it over the past two years. He had been sent to the Han Kingdom many times, and Liu Jing valued him very much. He especially hoped that he would preside over the formulation of the new Han laws. How could Chen Qun not be tempted? , but like Zhong Yao, he also felt Cao Cao's kindness and could not bear to betray him.

But now, Duke Wei's time is running out, and his danger is approaching day by day, especially today Cao Pi's indifference towards him made him feel chills, and there is not much time left for him, if Zhong Yao doesn't persuade him tonight, He might still be hesitant, but it was Zhong Yao's persuasion that made him finally make up his mind. Even Zhong Yao persuaded him to leave, so there was no reason for him to hesitate.

He nodded slowly, "Mr. Zhong is right, it's time for me to do something."
