Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 335 Wei Emperor's Counterattack (5)
Hearing the words, Deng Yang quickly turned his face back and replied seriously: "General Wuwei, Mr. Xiahou, according to the information sent back by the secret agent we sent to Sima Yi, when Sima Yi led his troops to besiege Xiangping City, he encountered a war. The storm that lasted the longest in the decades of rain in Liaodong can be called God's help. He fought this battle very hard!"

After Cao Shuang heard this, he said coldly, "Yes! There is still a chance to fight against people; to fight against the sky, no matter how great the old Sima's ability is, I'm afraid he won't be able to match his ambition!"

"It's no wonder that Sima Ziyuan didn't even participate in our regular talk meetings in the past few days!" Xia Houxuan was still watching his wet handwriting on the silk scroll being dried and solidified by the autumn wind. He said thoughtfully, "As the so-called father and son are of the same mind, if Sima Taiwei encountered such a difficult situation outside, then Sima Ziyuan might not feel better in his heart, right?"

"So what if he feels uncomfortable? Probably he can only accept it helplessly!" He Yan slowly took his hands out of the copper basin, took the towel placed by the basin stand and gently wiped his palms and backs , there was a deep smile in the bottom of his eyes, "Don't tell me, the trick of 'drawing salary from the bottom' proposed by our senior Huan is really clever. Earlier, the Ministry of Officials proposed to appoint Sima Ziyuan as Pingshu General, Sima Zishang has already drawn up the draft documents for Yongzhou's farewell, but His Majesty took advantage of Sima Yi's expedition to Liao Dynasty to leave Sima Ziyuan and Sima Zishang in the palace to take up close positions. It is not obvious that he Are the two brothers held hostage in the capital? Also, His Majesty let Xiahou Weiwei serve as the governor of Liangzhou, and at the same time withdrew Meng Jian from Beijing to Chongwen Temple for leisure. an arm in the middle."

"Hey, this is also a trick of the imperial court's last resort! The Sima clan has been entrenched in Guanzhong for many years, and it has already managed it in an airtight way! If Brother Sima continues to sit there to make a big difference, what if he suddenly develops a different will and dies? Echoing Sima Yi who conquered Liaodong from a distance, who can hold back the east and west simultaneously!" Xia Houxuan sighed deeply, "These strategies of Uncle Huan are really pragmatic and hit the nail on the head!"

Deng Yang listened, but there was a bit of reluctance on his face: "Even though Senior Huan is capable, he has a good temper—that day he discussed weakening Sima's party members in front of General Wuwei and Lord Xiahou. When it comes to strategizing, he is almost singing a one-man show alone, and others can hardly get in. Also, his self-esteemed and superior posture seems to regard us all as three-footed children. "

"Oh, Uncle Huan has always been like this." Cao Shuang smiled dryly, "As juniors, we can only let him go."

Xia Houxuan raised his eyes, but looked at Deng Yang brightly: "Brother Deng, Xuan doesn't think there is anything wrong with Uncle Huan's temper! We are our own family behind closed doors, so we should talk about it. Being open and undisguised, this shows the honesty of each other! We should learn from Uncle Huan who knows everything and talks endlessly! In this way, Uncle He, Xuan and you have somewhat different opinions..."

"What's the matter?" He Yan was stunned when he heard this, and he casually put down the towel to wipe his hands, and asked in astonishment.

"Xuan heard from Brother Cao that it was Uncle He who asked him to write a letter to suggest that His Majesty remove the bronze figures from Weiyang Palace in Chang'an and move them to inherit the dew plate to build Bailiang Terrace?" Xia Houxuan looked at him squarely and said without hesitation, "Your suggestions are really suspected of flattering the king, harming the country, and wasting money and people."

But He Yan avoided his scorching gaze abruptly, just looked down at his hands, which became whiter and whiter after washing, and said slowly: "Mr. Xiahou, you should understand that since we want to fight the Sima Clan, , we must obtain His Majesty's full support; if we want to obtain His Majesty's full support, we must appear more loyal to His Majesty than Sima's party. Uncle Cao Zhaobo suggested that His Majesty remove the bronze man and move to Chenglu Pan, the construction of Bailiang Terrace to prolong life is precisely for this purpose!"

Xia Houxuan said with emotion: "Uncle He, Xuan still can't understand, are you really loyal to His Majesty by doing this? Xuan thinks that you are putting His Majesty injustice and the people in trouble! We may get the Holy Spirit for a while. It may not be recognized by the people, but it may lose the hearts of the people for a long time!"

"In the political struggles of the past dynasties, is it important to give and take, and the boundless sacred will, or the illusory and scattered people's hearts? Is this issue worth teaching you here?" He Yan said deeply. Looking at Xia Houxuan anxiously, "Talk is talk, reality is reality. In the beginning, don't talk more and more crazy!"

Xia Houxuan didn't expect that the cousin who always kept talking about Lao Zhuang and never letting go of the rules would say such a ruffian-sounding remark, so he couldn't help being stunned, not knowing how to answer him.

"Okay, we don't have to stretch our heartstrings too tightly in real political battles. Uncle Wei will write an article here for you to read." He Yan bent down and used his own Picking up a pen with his clean right hand, he quickly wrote on another piece of silk on the table:
A husband who calls himself a gentleman is one who is at a loss about right and wrong, but who does not violate the Tao.Why do you say that?Those who have a calm spirit and a weak spirit do not keep their hearts in pride;Reserved does not exist in the heart, so it can surpass the name and teach and let it be natural; emotion is not tied to what one wants, so it can judge high and low and understand things.Things are smooth, so there is no violation of the avenue; if you are more famous, you will be free, so you can't deal with right and wrong.That's why when talking about a gentleman, he mainly focuses on being helpless, and regards understanding things as beautiful; when talking about a villain, he regards concealing emotions as wrong and violating the way as a flaw.who?Concealment and stinginess are the most evil of villains; being open-minded and helpless is the sincerity of gentlemen.It is a great way to say, "If I have no body, why should I suffer?"There is no one who regards life as the most precious person, but he is worthy of his life...

While he was writing, Deng Yang said to Cao Shuang at this time: "General Wuwei, do you know? Recently, in Shanyang County, Hanoi County, a group of young celebrities often meet there..."

"Mr. Deng is talking about Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Xiang Xiu, and Liu Ling, right?" He Yan said suddenly, and at the same time gently put down the brush in his hand, "Here, come and have a look, this is written by Ji Kang." "Health Preservation."

Xia Houxuan paced over in response to the sound, and when his eyes fell on He Yan's calligraphy, his eyes were straightened immediately: "Well, what a wonderful article--those who are calm and spiritual, don't care about modesty; A person with a bright heart, love is not tied to what he wants. Pride does not exist in the heart, so he can surpass the name and teach and let nature go; love is not tied to what he wants, so he can judge high and low and understand things. He is already deeply The true meaning of mystical principles.”

After hearing this, He Yan smiled slightly: "This nephew and son-in-law of He can barely say these innocent words, but He doesn't care whether he can "consider his words and deeds, and deeds". How is it clear?"

"Cao's opinion is that for a group of young celebrities like Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Xiang Xiu, and Liu Ling, we should try our best to win them over." Cao Shuang pondered for a while, then said solemnly, "Mr. He, Deng Jun, go talk to Ji Kang first."

"What Uncle Zhao said is true. However, in Xuan's view, on the one hand, we must actively strive for help for ourselves, and on the other hand, we must not forget to seriously eliminate resistance for ourselves at all times." Xia Houxuan picked up He Yan with his right hand and wrote While reading the scroll carefully, he said slowly, "Ji Kang's words are very clever: Things are smooth, so there is no violation of the Dao. On the other hand, if things are not smooth , the Dao must be in the way. Uncle Zhao, Xuan remembered something, and I have to tell you bluntly, you still have to discipline Cao Xun, Cao Yan and the others!"

"In the early days, did Brother Xun and Brother Yan make any trouble outside?" Cao Shuang was startled.

"A few days ago, Xuan's cousin (Xia Houru) wrote from Xiangyang, mentioning that Cao Xun and Cao Yan had sent him thirty or forty pieces of silk, and asked him to use his position to secretly find them from Jiangdong. A few beauties from Wuyue have come back. Uncle Zhao, you must intervene with this kind of extravagant and lustful behavior!" Xia Houxuan said seriously, "We are in a desperate battle with the Sima clan in the court, so we must not let it happen because of our own mistakes. And leave them with the slightest handle!"

"Damn it! These little bastards are really tired of working!" Cao Shuang's face turned red with anger, turning into boiled pork liver, and he yelled, "After I go back to the house, I will use my family's method to take care of it!" Discipline and discipline them!"

"How generous a strong man is, his ambition is powerful. He drives a long distance to serve, and forgets himself when he is ordered. A good bow carries a black horn, and a bright armor shines. In the face of difficulties, he does not care about life, and his soul is flying. How can he be a whole body, serving his life and fighting for it? The battlefield. Loyalty is the glory of the ages, and righteous envoys are famous. Thank you for the future generations, and the integrity is always there." The admonishment doctor Jiang Ji softly recited this article sent by Lang Zhongyu, the eldest son of Grand Tutor Zhong Yao and the author of the Ministry of Officials. Poems, brows are quite infectious and exciting.After reciting, he praised slowly: "Good poem! Good poem! This poem is vigorous and impassioned. It has the legacy of Chen Si Wang Cao Zhi's "White Horse Chapter"! Who wrote it?"

"It was written by Ruan Ji, the son of Ruan Yu, one of the famous 'Seven Sons of Jian'an' at that time." Zhong Yu introduced with a smile, "You don't know, Doctor Jiang. Recently, Ruan Ji and Ji Kang, Xiang Xiu, Liu A group of young talents such as Ling often hang out in Hedong, Hanoi, and Yingchuan, recite poems and compose Fu, show off their literary talents, and keep saying that they want to inherit the style of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an" and bring forth the new through the old!"

"Oh, so it was written by Ruan Ji, the son of Lord Ruan Yu!" Jiang Ji slowly put down the page of poem slips in his hand, and said leisurely, "Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Xiang Xiu, Liu Ling and the others have such ambitions, and they are not bad at all. Right now, literature is flourishing and poetry prospering. Doesn’t that just prove that our country is safe and peaceful, and the people are peaceful and prosperous? We should support them with all our strength. Mr. Zhong, I will ask the steward of the Fuzhong to pay you 20 yuan later. Cake, I ask you to bring it to Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Xiang Xiu, and others, and talk about it as a small amount of encouragement and support for me."

"Doctor Jiang's heart is in poetry and prose, he guides and supports each other, and Zhong admires each other." Zhong Yu sighed deeply, "But... speaking of it, Doctor Jiang may be a joke, and Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, and the others are all too. I can’t get rid of the common faults of literati and refined scholars—high and conceited, seldom in harmony with others, and seldom in harmony with the common people. My younger brother Zhong Hui tried to join their community several times, but Ruan Ji and Ji Kang refused!”

Jiang Ji heard this, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Well...it's a bit inappropriate for them to do this. When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples. Back then, the seven sons of Jian'an paid attention to 'do not choose the trickle, accept everything. '! Like them, they are so lonely and self-admiring, how can they last long? Zhong Yu, if you are familiar with them, it is better to give them a tactful admonition at the right time!"

While the two of them were talking, Jiang Lao Wu, the housekeeper of Jiang's residence, came in and said, "Master, Zhongshu ordered Mr. Sun Zi to come and ask for an audience."

When Zhong Yu heard this, she got up in a panic and said: "Master Jiang, since Master Sun has something to meet with you, Zhong will not bother you anymore, and Zhong will leave now."
