The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1121
Du Bi, who had been silent by the side, said at this time: "Since this matter involves General Zhenxi Zhonghui, it seems that there are still some difficulties. Chen Youcheng, the surveillance bell meeting must be kept secret. Before, don't act rashly, be careful, be careful!"

Chen Ji nodded and said yes, now that the Shu Han court entered Luoyang City for the first time, what it needs is a stable and united overall situation. If the various factions continue to fight each other, then the situation of the entire court must be turbulent, and the responsibility of the Lieutenant's Mansion cannot be given up. It is a principle, but it cannot be rigidly adhered to, it must be mastered and applied flexibly.

It would be good for them to handle the specific affairs of the Lieutenant's Mansion, and Liu Yin didn't want to intervene directly, just put forward some guiding opinions at critical moments.Liu Yin walked to the front of the case, looking at the words written by Chen Ji, a little lost in thought. The unexpected appearance of Xia Houxian added a lot of variables to the already tense situation in Luoyang.

Xia Houxian was Zhong Hui's subordinate, and one of the few cronies who followed Zhong Hui wholeheartedly during the rebellion. If there was no instigation by Zhong Hui, he would not believe it if he killed Liu Yin.

But Zhong Hui contacted the Cao clan through Xia Houxian, what was his plan?
Whether it was in the Jin Dynasty or now, the Cao clan has a great influence, and it has always been a force that cannot be ignored among the forces in Luoyang. After Liu Yin entered Luoyang, his attitude towards the Cao clan was not to suppress others. Naturally, if they were willing to cooperate with the Han Dynasty returning to Luoyang, Liu Yin would not mind reserving a place for them in the new political structure.But if they harbored a plot to restore the Wei state, then Liu Yin would never condone its development, and when it was time to suppress, he would definitely not be relentless.

It is impossible for the Cao clan alone to cause any big disturbances in Luoyang, unless they collude with other forces, and the harm will become very great.

Of course, Zhong Hui's character, Liu Yin, is not flattering. Zhong Hui's surrender to Shu was arranged by Jiang Wei. If it were Liu Yin, he would never agree to it. Even if he agreed to surrender, he would never agree to the army The control of Zhong Hui still remains in the hands of Zhong Hui.Liu Yin understands the famous saying that power grows out of the barrel of a gun better than anyone else. Zhong Hui can betray Sima Jin, and he can also betray Shu Han. As long as the conditions are ripe and the opportunity is right, Zhong Hui will never give up easily.

But what makes Liu Yin more suspicious is that more than half of the army of the Shu Kingdom is now concentrated around Luoyang. The combined army of Liu Yin and Jiang Wei has at least 20 people. From this point of view, Zhong Hui Even if he wants to rebel, the timing is not right. Even if he can unite with the Cao clan or even the forces of the extinct Jin Dynasty, their combined strength may not be comparable to the regular army of Shu who has been fighting for a long time.

Liu Yin really couldn't think of any reason why Zhong Hui dared to dig a grave or what his confidence was, but since Zhong Hui sent Xia Houxian to contact the Cao clan on his own initiative, it was obvious that it was not just an accidental incident, and of course Liu Yin needed a lieutenant The government came to thoroughly investigate and found out that it was the fox that was going to show its tail after all.

Maybe if we dig deeper, we will find even more shocking discoveries. After all, Zhong Hui has the backing of General Jiang Wei.

Liu Yin thought about it, and subconsciously picked up the pen, and wrote Jiang Wei's name under Zhong Hui's name, and also drew a black line to connect with Zhong Hui's name.

Du Bi and Chen Ji couldn't help being surprised when they saw what Liu Yin had written. Du Bi said, "The Great Sima thinks that this matter may have something to do with the Great General?"

Liu Yin nodded his head lightly, then shook his head immediately, and said: "All of this is just speculation without any evidence. Whether it is related or not needs further investigation."

Chen Jidao: "Zhong Hui is a member of the General. If he said that this matter has nothing to do with the General, he would never dare to make such an assertion. If he said that this matter must have something to do with the General, that would be even more ridiculous. In short, if we want to know what happened behind the scenes, we must investigate to find out the truth. But once this matter involves the general, do we need to continue to investigate at the Lieutenant's Mansion?"

Liu Yin said: "Investigate? Why investigate? Even if the general is high-ranking and powerful, he cannot violate the laws and regulations of the country. As long as it is within the power of the Lieutenant's Mansion, you should act according to the law. If anything happens, it is up to you I do, is there any more questions?"

Chen Ji couldn't help giving Liu Yin a thumbs up secretly, and Liu Yin's words really gave Chen Ji a reassurance.

"With Da Sima's words, the people below us will feel more at ease. Please rest assured, Da Sima, I will do my best to find out the truth of this matter."

Liu Yin picked up the piece of paper on the table, and silently tore it up. What was written and drawn on this piece of paper was just a guess, and at most it could provide a clue for the next move of the Lieutenant's Mansion. It's just a policy direction. Without any definite evidence, the characters listed above and their relationship with each other are actually meaningless.

It is enough for this kind of thing to exist in the mind, and it is not a good thing to keep it on paper. If it is seen by people with ulterior motives, it will become a kind of trouble instead.

Liu Yin and Du Bi have worked together for many years, and they are also close friends with Chen Ji. The content of their conversations is sometimes more casual and unscrupulous, but Liu Yin cannot guarantee that there will be Jiang Wei'an in the current lieutenant's mansion. The person who came in, so Liu Yin's caution is very reasonable.

Du Bi and Chen Ji naturally understood Liu Yin's meaning, and smiled knowingly, Chen Ji took a step forward, took the pieces of paper from Liu Yin's hand, and said, "Big Sima, this should be handled by the humble staff. "

Liu Yin did not refuse, and handed the shredded paper to Chen Ji, saying: "If you really want to involve the general, you must be careful, you must choose some loyal and reliable people, and you must not let the general The general has noticed something."

Chen Jidao: "Don't worry, Da Sima, most of the people selected by the humble rank are the former subordinates of Luoyang. There is absolutely no doubt about their loyalty. The resumes have been verified in detail, and it is only appropriate for them to complete this surveillance mission."

"Okay, how to do it specifically, Chen Youcheng, you come up with a more detailed plan. This matter is of great importance, and the Lieutenant's Mansion must go all out. I will leave first, and I will only wait for your good news." Liu Yin said .
