The last three kingdoms

Chapter 58
Chen Shou twisted the three short beards under his chin slightly, and said leisurely: "Soldiers are deceitful. They are caught by surprise and attacked by surprise. The victory of this military family cannot be passed on first. If Wei Yan followed his plan, he might succeed, he might fail. People can tell, but Ni Wei's defenses in Guanzhong at that time were indeed relatively empty. Maybe he was really not prepared enough to deal with the sneak attack from Ziwu Valley. Frankly speaking, maybe there is no 30% to [-]% certainty. Yes. Compared with Prime Minister Zhuge’s success in six out of Qishan, it’s better to let Wei Yan try it. But history has no assumptions, and it’s impossible to overturn it. There is always only one chance, and it’s fleeting. Now let’s talk about [-] For the past events of the past years, there are only sighs and sighs, and words are useless."

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said, "What do you think of the current world?"

Chen Shou was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Liu Yin to ask such a direct question, commenting on current affairs is risky in any dynasty, but Chen Shou is in a good mood today, drinking less than a thousand cups with a confidant, and talking too much if he is not speculative Today, I felt like old friends with Liu Yin at first sight. Once the chatterbox started, it meant that I couldn't hold back.

"It's been a long time in the world, and people's thoughts have returned. Since Prime Minister Zhuge, the Han court has gradually declined. It has been fighting for many years, and the people are too numerous. Compared with the ten permanent servants of Emperor Ling, it is even worse. On the other hand, since Sima’s dictatorship, political enemies have been eliminated internally, and military armor has been repaired externally. , there must be a desperate battle, but with Ji Han's current situation, the prospects are worrying."

Liu Yin was secretly amazed that Chen Shou could have such profound insights and such a sense of urgency in the current state of Shu, where singing and dancing was in full swing.Chen Shou dared to bluntly say that Huang Hao was good at ruling the country, dared to bluntly say that Jiang Wei was militaristic, and criticized these two most powerful and influential figures in the Shu Han court, and his words were fierce. This kind of mind and insight are indeed different from ordinary people.

However, Chen Shou seems to have missed one person, that is, Liu Chan, the emperor and empress of the dynasty. Liu Chan should be most directly responsible for the demise of the Shu Han. As the king of a country, he cannot shirk what belongs to him anyway. responsibility.Of course, this may not be Chen Shou's negligence, but intentional. It is a crime of disrespect to criticize the emperor.

"Mr. is full of strategies and has a beautiful mind, but he is trapped in books and books, wasting his time. Now the Lieutenant's Mansion still lacks a master. I don't know if Mr. is willing to give in?" Such a talent is what Liu Yin most needs to recruit.Although it is said that Guange Lingshi and the master of the Zhongwei Mansion belong to the rank of six hundred stones, Guange Lingshi is only responsible for managing the classics and history books, and the boss of the Zhongwei Mansion is equivalent to the Secretary-General of the Ministry of National Security. Same day.

There was a strange look in Chen Shou's eyes, but he calmed down quickly, and said lightly: "The officialdom is ups and downs, and you can be at peace with the situation. There is no joy in being promoted, and there is no sadness in being demoted. This position is actually quite good now. It is leisurely and comfortable, and you can spend more time." Reading books, maybe in the future, it is also a good choice to learn from Tai Shigong's books and theories."

Perhaps this is the fate of Chen Shou in history. His official career was bumpy all his life. It is precisely because of his encounters as Secretary of Dongguan and Lingshi of Guange that he wrote the immortal masterpiece "Three Kingdoms".But since he met himself here, his life and destiny may be reversed from now on——Liu Yin understood from the strange look in his eyes that Chen Shou was not a person willing to sink.

Soon, Liu Yin finished reading all the materials, handed them back to Chen Shou, bid farewell, and left Dongguan Pavilion.

Meeting Chen Shou was just a small accident, and the purpose of Liu Yin's trip was to find out the whole story about Wei Yan's case.The information is very detailed, and now it is basically certain that Wei Yan has such a posthumous woman, and from the existing information, it is difficult to draw direct evidence of Wei Yan's rebellion - all the evidence about Wei Yan's rebellion is only from Yang Yi's accusation, And Yang Yi is Wei Yan's enemy—but what is puzzling is that Jiang Wan and Fei Yi supported Yang Yi at this critical moment, thus deciding Wei Yan's final fate.

Everyone betrayed their relatives, and Wei Yan was finally beheaded by Ma Dai.Character determines fate, Wei Yan's arrogance, stubbornness, and self-willedness finally made him go on the road of no return. A generation of famous generals who made great achievements in battle and made the enemy fearful fell silently not long after Zhuge Liang's death.Perhaps it is not only people like Yang Yi who are really happy, but also Sima Yi who is far away on the side of the Qinling Mountains. This foundation established by Cao Cao.

Of course, the past is over, and there is no point in pursuing anything now. Yang Yi was also deposed by the master in the second year after Wei Yan was punished, and committed suicide in shame and indignation. I don’t know what happened when he met Wei Yan on Huangquan Road, but The grievances between the Wei and Yang families have been wiped out with the cold wind in the Qinling Mountains.

But now, the huge problem facing Liu Yin is how to exonerate Wei Xuewu.Wei Yan has already suffered innocent injustice, if his orphan suffers another misfortune, Liu Yin will not be able to accept it emotionally.But the crime of assassinating the emperor is not trivial. Once the case is submitted to the court, unless the emperor pardons him, Wei Xuewu has no chance of surviving.

But will Liu Chan give Wei Xuewu an amnesty?Liu Yin used his heels to think about it, it was also impossible.It is impossible for Liu Chan to admit that Wei Yan was wronged, and it is even more impossible for Liu Chan to let go of his assassin.

How to do?
Liu Yin was in a bit of a dilemma, the only way to save Xuewu was to tamper with Hei Sha's statement and delete the part about Wei Xuewu, but doing so was extremely risky, as Hei Sha was the first offender, he would definitely have to hand it over to the court Yes, if he confesses Wei Xuewu in court, then things will be troublesome.

What's more, it was not only Liu Yin who handled the case at that time, but also Zhang Le, Zhao Zhuo and other people from the Lieutenant's Mansion. Once the news is leaked, Liu Yin's own head may not be kept.

On the way back to the Lieutenant's Mansion, Liu Yin kept thinking about this problem, but it almost became a deadlock. Liu Yin racked his brains, but still couldn't think of a perfect solution.

"Brother, today we won a complete victory!" As soon as we arrived at the gate of the Lieutenant's Mansion, Zhang Le greeted him with a smile on his face.
