Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 310
"Xuantongzi" Guan Ning is the common mentor of Sima Yin and Sima Yi in the "Ziyuan Academy" of Linglong Valley.When Zhang Chunhua mentioned him, Sima Yin immediately shrank away from the table and replied: "According to the subordinates who sent people to visit, Mr. Guan has been ill in bed since he came back from Liaodong by boat at the beginning of the year... It seems that it is difficult for him to apply for the job." Entered Beijing to work."

"After all, he was my master's mentor back then, and my master has always respected him very much. Naturally, my master is convinced and has no objection to him being the captain." Zhang Chunhua also said politely, "My wife It has been ordered that no one is allowed to obstruct Mr. Guan's application for being a Taiwei."

"Yes. This subordinate would like to thank Madam and Master for their benevolent heart." Sima Yin kowtowed deeply on the floor, "Master's weapon is so open and open, it is truly worthy of being the hero of the world and the hero of the world. Hero!"

Zhang Chunhua stopped him with a wave of his hand, and continued to ask: "Qin Lang lost his teacher this time, humiliated the country and fled back to the capital. Have you found out what kind of punishment the court is going to give him?"

Sima Yin reported cautiously: "According to the information found by my subordinates, the opinions of the Tingwei Office and Yushitai are to exile him for three thousand miles and demote him to the frontier of Youzhou as a commoner... However, this opinion was rejected by Shangshutai. Chen Lingjun stopped him, he wanted to remove Qin Lang from office and rank, and stay in Beijing to strictly control him."

"Chen Jiao's meaning is probably His Majesty's meaning?" Zhang Chunhua said slowly, "Hmph! They are so partial to these incompetent people! I'm afraid if it was my Sima family who died this time, Master's defeat, His Majesty and Chen Jiao might not let it go like this."

"By the way! Ma'am, I would like to remind you that this Chen Jiao seems to be aiming to fight against our Sima family. The governor struggled for power, and even secretly instigated Wang Ling to write a letter attacking the governor of Manchuria for his 'drinking and anger, old age and infirmity, and greed for power' and it is not suitable to face the side for a long time... This matter is very troublesome in the Huainan area! Fortunately, Lord Sun Zi and Lord Liu Fang were able to protect the innocence of Man Dadu in front of His Majesty, and the storm was resolved. This Wang Ling is real. It is clear that there are Sun Quan and other enemies on the front line of Huainan. Fortunately, Man Dadu Lead Tian Yu, Wang Guan and others to fight to the death, and this is how to keep one side safe. If he Wang Ling really pushes away the Manda Governor, will he be able to defeat Sun Quan and Zhang Cheng with his ability?"

Zhang Chunhua listened intently, thought for a long time, and said coldly: "Well... it seems that Chen Jiao and the others have used all means and reckless tactics to deal with our Sima family! Even such a random trick has been used. , How can I just sit idly by?"

When Sima Yin heard this, his heartstrings tightened, and he respectfully asked: "In your opinion, madam, how should we deal with Chen Jiao?"

Zhang Chunhua picked up a silver embroidery needle with his fingertips, and slid it down the silk picture of "Tianma Xingkong" that he embroidered, and said slowly: "The antelope sleeps at night and hangs its horns on the tree. Not touching the ground, no trace to be found!"

Sima Yin's expression changed suddenly: "Madam, are you really going to kill me?"

"It's better to pull out this nail early, lest he come up with some bad ideas there, which will harm people and harm the country!"

"However, Taiwei Hua Xin and Sikong Chen Qun made things so difficult and excluded my General Sima, and General Sima held back..."

"Yin steward—times change and things change, and things change and seek changes." Zhang Chunhua raised his eyes, and his cold light flickered, "A few years ago, Cao Wei still had important clan generals and ministers of foreign relatives as assistants. Our Sima family should not make enemies on all sides, so I have been holding back. Now Cao Wei has no power to restrain our Sima family. He is just a mere Chen Jiao, but he is just a mantis arm blocking the car. If he is removed, he will be eliminated-I will wait for General Sima to respond to the sky as soon as possible in the rear. The great cause of the Kaitai and Zen Dynasties of the Wei family cleared away all "stumbling blocks"! Besides, my wife heard the rumor that Chen Jiao actually wanted to persuade His Majesty to release all the clan and noble relatives from imprisonment, and summoned the king of Chu, Cao Biao. , King of Yan, Cao Yu, etc. are returning to Beijing to assist in the government... I can't let him make this pool of water in Luoyang more muddy..."

Sima Yin nodded heavily and replied: "Madam's words are very true, Yin understands." He thought for a while, and asked: "How can we cut off this person without leaving traces or future troubles, please give me your instructions, Madam."

"Did Chen Jiao have a feud when he was in the government and the opposition? It is the best policy to use his enemy's sharp blade to shovel it skillfully. If it is really impossible, he can only make it look like an accidental sudden death, so that people can't notice the abnormality."

……

Ten days later, when Chen Jiao returned to Luoyang mansion from Xuchang, he happened to bump into an old servant stealing in the room.The old servant was smashed face-to-face by him, and he was suddenly murderous, so he stabbed him to death with a knife, and then fled in a hurry with his treasure.Four days later, the old servant was arrested, confessed to all crimes and was tortured to death.

Chen Jiao's sudden and dramatic death made Sima's last and most important opposition figure in Wei Ting smoothly eliminated.Since then, Cao Rui has never been able to openly contend with Sima Yi with a confidant who is enough to weigh him.

"This Wang Ling! He's really not a thing! He dared to go to His Majesty to sue Ben Du for being black!" Man Chong slammed the teacup in his hand on the ground and shattered it into eight or nine petals, "He just arrived Huainan has been in charge of the army for a few days? Yesterday, the one who ran into Ben Du's meeting room to point fingers, the arrogance and arrogance of the school is really abominable!"

His shogunate, Shi Lifu, sat on the side seat beside him and listened silently, but a pair of eyeballs shone brightly and kept turning from time to time.He was personally recommended by Sima Yi to Man Chong's sect as an aide four years ago.Over the past few years, Man Chong has been very satisfied with his right-hand assistance, and has already regarded him as his confidant "brain tank".

After Man Chong vented his grievances in one breath, Li Fu said calmly and slowly: "Don't worry about the governor, as the saying goes, 'How can floating clouds cover the day? When the facts come to light, right and wrong can be revealed." Wang Ling's slanderous rumors How can the trick work! Zhongshu Sheng Sun and Liu have already clarified the past for you in front of His Majesty."

"That's right! Thanks to Master Sun and Master Liu for ingeniously resolving it——ah! I really don't know how to thank them."

Li Fu glanced at Man Chong, and smiled: "Great Governor, you should thank Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu. But the real 'noble man' standing behind Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu, you It seems to have been forgotten."

"Oh? Li Changshi, are you talking about this governor's in-law--General Sima? How could this governor forget him? He and this governor have always been like a family. No matter how grateful the governor is, it seems to be true." Some are out of touch."

"That's right! General Sima is the one who values ​​love and righteousness the most in his actions. 'See goodness as yourself, and help others as if you are going with the flow'. He has always been 'broadly giving favors without asking for anything in return'-Li has always admired him very much." !" Li Fu said slowly, "However, if there is a chance, Li believes that you, the governor, will repay General Sima wholeheartedly just like myself."

"Of course." Man Chong said, but suddenly frowned tightly, "The governor thinks that this year's court seems to be more and more 'evil'! Li Changshi, what do you think--how is Wang Ling's behavior? Don’t Shangshutai and Zhongshusheng know about it? Your Majesty insists on sending him to Huainan! Then Shangshutai and Zhongshusheng should know about Qin Lang’s abilities! Your Majesty also insists on sending him to Guanzhong Sima What kind of 'guardian' did the general go to, but after a few rounds, he lost his teacher and humiliated the country..."

Li Fu listened carefully to his every word, his eyes flickered with brilliance, he was determined, pretended to be thoughtful, and said insincerely: "So you, the governor, also found these things a little strange? "

"Yes! It's indeed a bit strange." Man Chong nodded emphatically.

Without saying a word, Li Fu got up and walked to the door of the study, stretched his head to look outside, and seeing that there was no one else, he closed the two wooden doors tightly.Then, under Man Chong's surprised and inexplicable eyes, he walked back slowly, and whispered to Man Chong's ear: "Governor, the piece of heavenly auspicious object that was openly displayed in the court recently - the stone on the 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone' Have you seen the pattern extension?"

"I've seen it all." Man Chong nodded in response.Cao Rui, in order to declare the longevity of the Wei family and the country's well-being, is the fate of fate, and also distributed the "Spirit Turtle Xuanshi" pattern rubbings to the Mushou of the various states and counties for publicity and enlightenment.

"There is a 24-character prophecy on the 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone', 'There is change in the destiny, and there is a great plan; the golden horse is born, and the hooves are flying; the auspiciousness is prosperous, and the ritual is changed'. You should be familiar with it?"

"Well... there is such a prophecy—what? Is there anything strange here?"

Li Fu arched his hands, his face became extremely solemn: "You probably don't know, there is still a saying about the 24-character prophecy on the 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone' - its original text is "Heaven's destiny has a change, and Cao Yan is greatly challenged; a golden horse is born, and its hooves soar to the clouds; great auspiciousness is prosperous, and the Dianwu will be changed"! It was His Majesty who hated the shocking word "to beg", so that people secretly altered it into the word "ji" He even deceived himself and said to the outside world that 'ji' has the same pronunciation as 'ji'. The so-called 'Da Ji Cao Yan' means 'Da Ji Cao Yan'..."

Man Chong was startled suddenly: "There is such a thing?"

Li Fu looked directly at him with electric eyes: "It's absolutely true."

Man Chong is also a smart and wise person, he chewed secretly for a while in his heart, stood up with a "huh", and changed his face: "'There is a revolution in the destiny, and Cao Yan will be punished; a golden horse will be born, and its feet will soar to the clouds; , Dianwu will change'——the 'Golden Horse' in this prophecy... Who does the 'Golden Horse' refer to?"

Li Fu's gaze became deeper and deeper: "Among the civil and military dynasties of the Manchu Dynasty, there were only a few people with the word 'horse' in their surnames——Didn't you guess it yet?"

"There is a 'horse' in the surname? Could it be... is it... Ben Du's in-laws?" Man Chong's face suddenly turned pale, "This... can't be true, can it? "

"The governor is really good at seeing opportunities!" Li Fu stretched his words with a smile, "The 'Spiritual Turtle Profound Stone' is a natural auspiciousness; the 24-character prophecy is a revelation from heaven, and the 'eight The different picture of "Ma Tengkong" is an auspicious omen for the echo of heaven and man... How can all this not be true? Besides, General Sima is now unparalleled in his achievements and famous all over the world. , it deserves its name, and the sky obeys people!"

"Shh! Silence! Silence!" Man Chong jumped up from the couch, desperately reaching out to press his mouth, "Li Changshi, if you continue talking, you will commit the crime of exterminating your family!"

"Okay! Alright! Li won't talk about this anymore..." Li Fu hurriedly shook his head and shouted in a low voice.Only then did Man Chong let go of his hand, retreated to the mat and sat down in shock, his forehead was already dripping with cold sweat.
