Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 341 Wisdom eliminates dissidents, Sima Yi is the third minister who entrusts Gu to assist the government (2)
"Madam, according to Sun's speculation, Guo Zhi's actions must have been ordered by the noble concubine Guo Yao of the harem." Sun Zi twisted his beard and said, "The concubine Guo Gui of the harem has made it clear that she will be promoted to the position of empress dowager in the future. Her personality is also soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she loves power like her life. How could she be willing to sit and watch the Xiahou family, the Cao family and other nobles from Pei County grow up and down in the court? But at this moment, since His Majesty is still here, she is not good. On the bright side, they jumped out to openly oppose the Xiahou family and the Cao family's division of power, so they came up with a plan of "borrowing a knife to kill people". They tried to use the power of our Sima Party to suppress them Xiahou family and Cao family! And Xiahou family, Cao family The most powerful trump card in the hands of the Xiahou and Cao clans is Huan Fan, as long as we can always suppress Huan Fan in the favored position and prevent him from finding a chance to show up, the power of the Xiahou clan and the Cao clan will never be able to truly grow!"

Zhang Chunhua nodded again and again, smiled, and said politely: "Master Sun's analysis is really penetrating, and the truth is clear. We have never found out who the brains behind Xia Houxuan and Cao Shuang are. Now that it is so accurate If we found him, then everything will be easy! Do Master Sun and Master Liu have any clever plans to control it?"

Liu Fang smiled all over his face, looked at Sun Zi and said, "Mrs. Zhang, since Sun Jun has understood all this, he must have hidden a good plan. Sun Jun, don't hide it anymore. Tuck it in, let's talk it out!"

Sun Zixu said a few words, straightened his face, looked directly at Zhang Chunhua, and said slowly: "Sun has been thinking hard for several days recently, and he has come up with a plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain. This autumn, the grain and grain failures in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and the famine Huan Fan, as the chief minister of farming, is in charge of the official granary payment. We can work together from Zhongshu Province and Shangshutai to send him to Shandong to inspect the disaster situation and open warehouses for relief. Huan Fan Didn't he always claim that compassion for the people and love for his subordinates are the first priority in everything? In this way, even if Huan Fan has doubts, he has no way to shirk, so he can only leave the capital with the country's business as the most important thing... Now that the brains are gone, let's deal with Xiahou Xuan and Cao Shuang are more confident!"

Sima Zhao, who was sitting opposite him, pondered for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Master Sun, what if Huan Fan insists on his own opinion and refuses to be ordered to leave Beijing? Also, what if His Majesty and Cao Shuang don't go out?" Are you willing to let him leave Beijing?"

"Sun has already thought of this beforehand." Sun Zi slowly twitched his mustache and said coldly, "If he persists, we will encourage the supervisory censors in Yushitai to criticize him for ignoring people's livelihood, Thinking about the hardships of the people, the corpse is a vegetarian meal. With Huan Fan's resolute and unyielding personality, he must not be able to bear the humiliation and leave Beijing on his own!"

"Very good! Very good! After all, it is Mr. Sun who is astute and experienced, and few people can match him!" Zhang Chunhua smiled happily when he heard it, "In my wife's opinion, after Huan Fan is expelled, the next person who wants to be expelled should be Xia Houxuan Yes. We have almost figured out his details. Since he has a very stiff relationship with the Guo family in the harem, and he seems to be in the same bed with Cao Shuang's family, it should be easier for us to deal with him..."

Speaking of this, she raised her hand and pointed at Sima Shi and Sima Zhao brothers: "Master Sun and Master Liu, if you can use my Shier and Zhaoer when you carry out big plans in the palace in the future, feel free to speak up." That's what I ordered!"

"Lord Xiahou, please wait here." The servant led Xiahouxuan into the observation room of the harem, bowed and said, "Your Majesty will come to this room to summon you after bathing in the warm and cool pool."

"Okay." Xia Houxuan responded, and sat down on a brocade mattress in the room.The servant glanced at him secretly with the slanted light from the corner of his eye, bowed his head, and quietly backed out.

Having nothing else to do, Xia Houxuan couldn't help looking around, but saw a copybook hanging on the carved sandalwood wall in the room.He himself is also a person who loves calligraphy, so he stepped forward to watch it carefully.

However, seeing that those copybooks were written chapters and sentences in the "Tao Te Ching" one after another, the handwriting in them is very distinctive: that point is as vivid and eye-catching as flowers blooming in full bloom; The right side is like a wisp of green vines, winding and agile; the right side is like a phoenix spreading its wings; General ups and downs come!It is true that there are pictures in the words, and the words appear in the pictures, and the calligraphy and painting are integrated and complement each other!Looking at these copybooks is like appreciating beautiful pictures one after another.This kind of font not only has the dignified and squareness of Xun Shuang font, but also the majestic atmosphere of Cao Cao font, and the flexibility of Zhong Yao font, which is truly extraordinary!The most rare thing is that it combines painting with calligraphy, and the combination of calligraphy and painting is pleasing to the eye and has a special interest!
Xia Houxuan was aroused by watching, and read one post after another like a fascination, and unknowingly stepped into the threshold of the back hall of the viewing room - when he looked up, he saw a stunning woman Sit on the ground inside, pick up a pen and practice calligraphy.It turned out that in Cao Rui's palace, Zhaoyi and Cairen were mostly female historians who were both talented and talented, and they specially reviewed the documents of Zhongshu Province and Shangshutai on his behalf.Needless to say, this woman is undoubtedly a harem official.

"This girl's handwriting is so beautiful - words are not words, paintings are not paintings, there are pictures in the words, and words in the pictures!" Xia Houxuan forgot where he was for a moment, and praised deeply casually, "But I don't know what the girl is like. What kind of school is a good calligraphy from? This seat is really fascinated!"

As he spoke, he walked in carelessly.

The woman continued to write with the pen in her hand, as if she had never heard of it, she waited for him to step closer, then she put down the brush in her hand, squinted her eyes and smiled at him charmingly - her smile was like a flash of light, which would be extinguished in a flash No sound, no breath, no trace, no trace, but it is enough to seduce people's souls and shake people's souls!
Xia Houxuan took a look, even though he was well-cultivated, he couldn't help but be moved by it - when he was silently silent, the woman suddenly threw her head straight into his arms, and at the same time put her body With a tug of her hair, a rub of her clothes, she called out coquettishly, "Help! There are prostitutes!"

"What? Xia Houxuan was reported to have molested talent Shishi in the palace?" Cao Shuang couldn't help being surprised when he heard the news reported by Yin Damu, a lieutenant of the former Imperial Guard under his command.

Yin Damu is a bodyguard who grew up playing with Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan since he was a child. He has always had a very close relationship with Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan, so he is also very concerned about Xia Houxuan's personal safety, so he came here early in the morning. Cao Shuang reported the news.Hearing Cao Shuang's question, he replied very anxiously: "This matter was not intentionally spread and slandered by others. Master Xiahou has been detained by the Habayashi Army in a side room of the harem since yesterday. The specifics of what happened are in the Xia Yin is not too clear. But Qu Luo, the servant girl next to Concubine Guo, also came forward to testify that when she entered the back hall of the observation room, she saw Shi Cairen and Lord Xiahou hugging each other. Now, His Majesty has asked Tightly seal this news, don't let it out, and invite General Wuwei to enter the palace to talk..."

When Cao Shuang heard this, he couldn't help stomping his feet angrily. At this critical juncture of the court's friendship, Xia Houxuan made such an incident that violated etiquette and morals. What should we do?Moreover, he had previously heard that Shi Shi was one of His Majesty's most beloved female officials in the inner court. If Xia Houxuan really molested her, he would be in big trouble!He didn't have time to think about it, he waved his hand hastily, and ordered: "Damu, you go back to investigate the progress of this matter first, the general will come right after changing his clothes..."

"Then, Yin has gone to the palace...General Wuwei, you must hurry to the palace to intercede for Lord Xiahou!" Yin Damu didn't say much, and hurried away.

Cao Shuang watched him run out of the back room, and was about to order his servants to get court clothes and put them on, when his third younger brother Cao Xun flashed in from outside the door, grabbed his robe corner, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wait a minute!"

Cao Shuang was startled, and looked sideways at Cao Xun: "What are you doing?"

Cao Xun saw no one around in a blink of an eye, so he whispered to Cao Shuang and asked, "Do you really want to go to His Majesty to intercede for Xiahou Taichu?"

"At the beginning, he was pure and pure. How could he do such a thing? He must have been framed. Of course, my brother can't stand by!" Cao Shuang nodded.

"Brother—little brother just came back in a hurry after learning about this incident from the infantry battalion of the Imperial Army! This time, Xia Houxuan probably really fell home! Concubine Guo's maids all stood up to testify against his misbehavior. Brother , just listen to my little brother, at this very moment, you must not go to the palace to rescue Xia Houxuan!" Cao Xun's eyes turned brightly, and he kept holding Cao Shuang's clothes tightly. Fang, "Let His Majesty decide and deal with it on his own-you just declare to the outside world that you have a sudden leg problem and you can't leave the house for a while."

"This...how can this be done?" Cao Shuang gave Cao Xun a hard look, "A few days ago, when Uncle Huan left Beijing to go on a disaster relief tour, he tried his best to advise my brother and Taichu to make a decision when they were in trouble. We must work together with different bodies and work together, and we must never have any disagreements. His earnest words are still in my ears, as a brother, now that the crisis is approaching, how can we ignore the safety of the beginning?"

Cao Xun shook his head and waved his hands again and again, "Brother, don't worry! This matter is not as serious as you think! It's just a matter of molesting a talented person! Your Majesty is smart and wise today. Xia Houxuan will definitely not be severely punished when employing people. However, Xia Houxuan, the guard who is in charge of guarding the palace gate, will definitely not succeed!"

"Isn't it serious to remove him from the position of Weiwei? Now among my old relatives of the Cao family, the only one who can join hands with brother Wei to deal with Sima's party is Xiahou Taichu. If brother Wei doesn't save him at this moment He will be beyond reach in the future!"

"Hey! Brother, you always like to turn your elbows outward! He Xia Houxuan can certainly help you, but my younger brother and Yandi can't help you? Why do you have to bring in an outsider to join forces with the Sima Party? Our own brothers With so many, I'm afraid they are more reliable than Xia Houxuan and the others!"

"Third brother, you...you...how can you think like this?" Cao Shuang was startled as if he had been shocked when he heard Cao Xun's words, and stared at Cao Xun in amazement.

Cao Xun did not avoid his direct gaze, held his hands, and said very sincerely: "Young brother is really thinking about the future of my Cao family! What is your majesty's health now? They all know it well. Then, he must be deeply considering the list of candidates for the Gu Ming Assistant Minister behind him. Needless to say, you and Xia Houxuan must have been on the list of the next Gu Ming Assistant Minister two important candidates.
