[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Since the confinement was released a few months ago, Cao Pi has become a frequent visitor to this Jia mansion. He has already known the roads in this small mansion, so he declined the servants in the mansion and walked along the small path to the study.Walking to the hall under the corridor, there was a conversation in the room:

"Today, the old man will tell you about the battle for the deer. In ancient times, those who took the world had two ways. Yao and Shun gave way, Tang and Wu followed the revolution. Let's try to discuss it."

"Yao and Shun abdicated, showing that the world is public. Only the virtuous respect and accept the destiny, and the virtuous rule the four barbarians. However, whether the virtue declines or not, who can judge it? In the ancient world, the wisdom of the people was not developed. Although Shun imprisoned Yao, Yu forced Shun can still pretend to be a virtuous lord, and plot to usurp him as an abdication. If he does it now, it will not be time."

"If you imitate Tang Wu, so what?"

"In the Xia Dynasty of the Shang Dynasty, Jie was regarded as immoral; in the Shang Dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty, the corrupt emperor Xin was the Zhou. Revolutionaries must use virtue to punish immorality, and righteousness to punish immorality. In this case, it is still unavoidable to ridicule the minister who killed the king. Take The world uses soldiers, but they do nothing for them. When Xiaojing is caught, he is still afraid of eating horse liver. Besides, if the master has virtue, what should the minister do instead? It would be unwise to do so today."

"If you want to take over the world, you have to follow two ways. One is to be untimely, and the other is to be unwise, so what should you do?"

"Mr. is well versed in the current situation. If you teach Yi the way to compete, you will definitely disdain these two ways. Please ask Yi, what should you do with the current situation?"

"Heh." Through the window paper, Cao Pi heard Jia Xu chuckle, but he didn't sneer like a poisonous insect lurking in the dark. Like your father, you use the princes of the world to drive away and open the way for the emperor." Those shining eyes slowly moved over and met Cao Pi's prying eyes, who was slightly startled, then came back to his senses, and nodded and smiled at Jia Xu , turned and walked into the house.

When Jia Xu found out, Cao Pi was not surprised at all.In the past six months, Jia Xu has never asked about anything other than necessary political affairs. Others only say that Jia Xu is old and getting dizzy day by day, but Cao Pi can see clearly how Jia Xu managed to get Cao Cao to send Guo Yi to his mansion. , How to stay out of the matter in the surging undercurrent, keep a low profile.Up to now, even though Guo Yi lives in Jia Xu's mansion, even though Cao Pi often visits, no one thinks that Jia Xu has any inclinations between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi in the rumors of outsiders.This kind of natural poison, no matter how old he is, will only become a spirit and cannot die.

The fireplace in the corner billowed with green smoke, making the whole room very warm.Cao Pi took off his ink-colored cloak, sat on the mat next to the desk, and put the small suitcase he was carrying aside.From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the plate of purple fruit on the table, his eyes flashed with clarity, and his tone was kind and familiar:

"Pi was just worried that it would be unlucky to disturb you. It seems that you knew that Pi would come to disturb you today." As he spoke, he opened the lid of the lacquer box, took out a small food box and handed it to Guo Yi, "Mother is thinking about it." You, cook it yourself, try it." He took out a small jar of wine and offered it to Jia Xu, "And this jar of wine, which Pi met a Xiliang man by chance, said it was made by the Qiang people. I bought the wine, and just happened to drop by to bring it to Mr. today."

Guo Yi took out a piece of pastry, took a bite, couldn't help frowning slightly, but obediently ate the rest bit by bit.

Jia Xu had a full view of Guo Yi's expression, but remained calm, he just said: "It's a trivial matter, just send a servant, why bother Second Young Master to go this trip by himself."

Cao Pi smiled, with a hint of self-mockery in his voice: "Pi is not like the fourth brother who needs to work all day long on official business. Now that Pi Fu is at home, he can't help his father, so it's better to help his mother deliver things often. Filial piety."

"Second Young Master, don't be discouraged." Jia Xu said flatly and uselessly comforting words, "Ups and downs are common things. Given time, when the Prime Minister's anger subsides, he will always use Young Master again."

"But until now, it's been half a year... I think about it, although my father has lost his anger, he is also completely disappointed in Pi." Cao Pi smiled bitterly, "Actually, that's all, that's all. My mother is a compatriot, and my father reuses his fourth brother, so Pi is also happy for him. But above Zijian, his father still listens to Kong Guiyan." He sighed softly, "Pi is really worried about his father's safety."

Cao Pi's words are half true and half false.It is false to have no grudge against Cao Cao's reuse of Cao Zhi, but it is true to worry that Cao Cao will be bewitched by Kong Gui.Weeds are all over the world, assassination, hunting, spying, all of them are proficient, and they are directly responsible for Cao Cao's safety. Once they are handed over to someone with ulterior motives, it is tantamount to holding back and giving others a handle.After Cao Pi was contacted and confined, he learned that Cao Cao had handed the octopus to Kong Gui. He couldn't believe it. After repeated confirmation, he accepted this fact with difficulty.

However, if the matter only developed to this point, although he was surprised, he could understand that Cao Cao made such an arrangement impulsively because Guo Jia was furious without saying goodbye.Indeed, when Xiwu brought Hua Tuo back to Yecheng, Cao Cao used Xiwu to check and balance Kong Gui, so that Kong Gui could not cover the sky with one hand.In this way, the real control over the octopus was still taken back to Cao Cao.Although there are differences in small places, it is all right in the overall situation.

But the development of the situation gradually became uncontrollable.First, Cao Cao asked Kong Gui to wear a green shirt, and then called Kong Gui to discuss matters with his confidants. Later, Kong Gui called Cao Cao "Ming Gong", and Cao Cao even acquiesced, allowing Kong Gui to call him that from now on. There is no need to be bound by respect and etiquette.Everyone knows who Cao Cao is looking for through Kong Gui, but no one dares to point it out, and for those who are farther away from the center, they will almost really regard the man in green shirt who goes in and out of the prime minister's mansion all day as the old man. Guo Jia, through this misunderstanding, Cao Pi didn't know how many tricks Kong Gui secretly arranged in Yecheng.

The father in Cao Pi's mind is an incomparable hero, an eternally resolute and majestic overlord, and he will never be weak enough to be confused by these inferior blindfolds.But this time, even he gradually found it difficult to maintain this confidence. After all, everyone has inevitable weaknesses. After all, the person who was exploited as Cao Cao's weaknesses was Guo Jia.

"Sir, when Pi came here this time, besides giving things to Boyi for his mother, there is also an unfeeling request." Cao Pi looked at Jia Xu, and said sincerely, "Father's knot is actually in Mr. Guo, as long as Guo Mr. is willing to go back to Yecheng to apologize and explain to his father. With their friendship for many years, any misunderstanding can be solved. But now, his father refuses to ask Xu Du for any news, and Mr. Guo also refuses to send even a word Yecheng. Pi knows that you have a good relationship with Mr. Guo, so I wonder if you can ask Mr. to write a letter and send it to Xudu, persuading Mr. Guo?"

However, no matter how sincere Cao Pi was, when he came to Jia Xu, he seemed to have sunk into Yuantan, and there was no reply: "It seems that the son is really too worried about the safety of the prime minister. Even if the second son thinks that this matter can be handled in this way, Xun Gongda, Cheng Zhongde, and the young master's Sima Zhongda, any one of them wrote this letter more properly than Xu. Of course, appropriate does not mean useful. The young master really thinks that once Guo Fengxiao has made up his mind, it is a letter. Can you persuade me to come back?"

"Brother Zihuan, you don't have to worry too much." At this time, Guo Yi suddenly said, "It is impossible for the prime minister to hand over the octopus to someone other than father."

Children in their teens are still childish and innocent.Regarding this, Cao Pi could only smile wryly: "Pi also hopes so, but..."

"Second Young Master, what Boyi said is correct." But Jia Xu listened to the innocent words.He picked up a cup of hot tea, and the mist made it difficult to see the deep meaning in his eyes, "It is impossible for the prime minister to hand over the octopus to someone other than Guo Jia."

Cao Pi was slightly taken aback.He seemed to have grasped something suddenly, but it was just a flash of inspiration, which was fleeting.Just as he was racking his brains to figure out the meaning behind his words, Jia Xu's voice sounded again:

"Bo Yi, just before the second son came in, where were we talking?"

"Mr. said that 'when an emperor rises, there must be expulsion'." Guo Yi turned to look at Cao Pi, "Brother Zihuan, what do you mean by this sentence?"

Cao Pi was still stuck in Jia Xu's sentence just now, and answered Guo Yi with some absent-mindedness: "The so-called 'dispelling', according to the meaning of the word, means to dispel obstacles. 'When an emperor rises, there must be dispelling', that is, It is said that in the last years of the dynasty, when the luck of virtue declined and the power was transferred downward, there would inevitably be princes everywhere. These people are all powerful men with no virtue to rule the world, but their actions will still help the king to rule the world and rejuvenate the country. For example, if there were no red eyebrows to kill Gengshi, then Guangwu would not be able to proclaim himself emperor, and red eyebrows would be the expulsion of Guangwu. Another example, in the past, Yuan Shu in Huainan, Yuan Shao in northern Hebei, Liu Bei in Jingzhou, and Northwest—"

His voice stopped abruptly.In an instant, he suddenly understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words today.Indeed, compared to Yao and Shun's abdication and the Tang-Wu Revolution, this is the most suitable method for the current situation, but it is also very difficult and dangerous to really do it.Even if father and Guo Jia have such a plan, so what...

"It seems that the young master has already thought of something." Jia Xu looked at Cao Pi's pensive look, and finally smiled secretly, "But compared to this, the prime minister will have a banquet on the Tongque Terrace in five days. , Young Master, you should be more prepared."

About four months ago, there was a golden light in the northern suburbs of Yecheng. A bronze sparrow was dug by a farmer and presented to the prime minister's mansion. Everyone thought it was a good omen, so Cao Cao ordered to build a high platform by the Zhangshui River, named after the bronze sparrow. .Five days later, Cao Cao held a banquet on stage for the first time after the completion of Tongque Terrace. Things to prepare for.

Originally, Cao Pi did intend to take this opportunity to reverse the situation, but after talking with Jia Xu today, he suddenly had a new idea.

"My lord is not someone who will change his mind easily. Since he has made it clear that he will take you as his heir, it is impossible to separate Cao Zhi just because of Zhen Mi and Yuan Xi's affairs. There must be other reasons why my lord suddenly uses Cao Zhi so much. That reason has nothing to do with you. You are in Yecheng, so you must find it out as soon as possible."

The words of Sima Yi's exhortations before leaving Yecheng with Cao Chong were still ringing in his ears. After half a year, Cao Pi finally found a way to do it.He couldn't wait to tell Sima Yi all this, and then discuss with Sima Yi what they should do next.

Unfortunately, there are four more days before Sima Yi will come back.

After a few more polite words with Jia Xu, Cao Pi stood up and said goodbye.Jia Xu didn't say anything to keep him.He had already said everything he could tell Cao Pi, and he only hoped that Cao Pi could figure out the mystery earlier, so as not to disappoint him, let alone the person far away in Xudu.

"If you don't want to eat it, just leave it there." Jia Xu looked at Guo Yi who was unwilling to eat the pastry, and sighed softly, "It's also strange, you are neither good for wine nor sweet, and you are really like your father." Not like."

"The worst thing is to wrong yourself for the sake of likeness."

However, Guo Yi still frowned, and swallowed the sweet and greasy pastry bit by bit, not a single piece was left.

After all, Cao Pi said, Mrs. Bian made this specially for Guo Yi.

After all, Mrs. Bian really loves Guo Yi. She has been with Guo Yi day and night for many years and knows Guo Yi's preferences very well.

"Sir, do you know how long it will take for father to come back?"

Hearing this sentence, Jia Xu shook his head lightly.Sure enough, he was still a child, no matter how precocious his mind was, he still couldn't hide all his thoughts. .

"Soon." He said, "In the past six months, bronze sparrows have emerged first, and auspicious signs have appeared in various places. Your father..." Halfway through, he stopped talking.He handed a small jar on the case to Guo Yi, "It's time, go and feed the birds for the old man."

"……Oh."

Jia Xu poured a cup of tea, turned to look out the window, saw Guo Yi spilling bird food on the ground, and opened the birdcages one by one.The ferocious birds flew out of the cage one after another, pecked at each other, and fell on the ground to fight for the bird food on the ground, but none of them took the opportunity to escape and soared high.

When Jia Xu retracted his eyes and picked up the teacup, he realized that the tea was completely cold.

————————————————————

"The minister Gu Mou Jishou: Husband, emperor, king, worthy of heaven and earth, Ye Qi Yin and Yang, giving orders, moving off and showing, signs of rest and guilt, acting according to feelings. This month at three o'clock on Jiayin Chen, a yellow dragon was seen in the suburbs of Qiao, and hundreds of people saw it. Husband Huanglong is the sign of the emperor; at the hour of the hour, the yin energy will be thin and the yang energy will sprout, which is the ultimate auspiciousness...how can it be auspicious again." Guo Jia frowned and threw the memorial on the table, "come here It’s nothing more than those words, and I haven’t seen anyone who really caught Huanglong Qilin, it’s boring.”

"It is one of the responsibilities of local officials to present auspiciousness, but there are indeed too many memorials recently." Seeing that Guo Jia still looked impatient, Xun Yu smiled and shook his head lightly, "This is from Shangshutai. Most of the memorials are daily memorials and congratulations from all over the world, if Feng Xiao finds it boring, he will put it there and deal with it later."

With Guo Jia's temperament, he was naturally happy to have someone save him trouble.But when he saw the mountain of memorials on Xun Yu's case, he couldn't help feeling uneasy, so he had to fill up the memorial again with a sad face: "Forget it, two people are faster than one."

Xun Yu smiled, but did not persist, and turned his gaze back to the memorial in front of him.

Guo Jia also cheered up, and corrected the words on the memorial of the auspiciousness, and then looked at the next one, and it turned out that the content was changed again.It didn't take long before he felt his eyelids start to twitch. For a while, he wondered how Xun Yu could be meticulous about every boring memorial without complaint, and then unconsciously drifted his thoughts to Yecheng. I thought for a while that things in the prime minister's mansion are more interesting.Finally, unable to bear the drowsiness, he let go of the hand supporting his head, and fell asleep on the desk.

Hearing the sound, Xun Yu looked over and sighed helplessly, but it was expected.He walked up to Guo Jia, covered the man with the cloak that was placed aside, and lightly took out the memorial that was pressed under his arm, and carried it back to himself along with the rest of the unreviewed documents on the case. on the case.

Candles were dimly lit among the gilt-copper deer lanterns placed on the table, and the candles swayed slightly with the wafting aroma from the incense burner beside it.The room was extremely quiet, except for Xun Yu's occasional small and careless sound when he flipped the bamboo slips, there was no other sound, so that if Chen Qun didn't know how to light incense when Ling Jun was not in the room, he might think that Xun Yu Yu was not there, so he turned back at the door.

Walking into the room, Chen Qun was about to salute Xun Yu, but Xun Yu made a "shh" first, and pointed to Guo Jia who was still sleeping soundly over there.

Chen Qun didn't realize that Guo Jia was there just now. Seeing that Guo Jia was openly taking advantage of troubled waters while handling official duties at the Shangshutai, his eyelids couldn't help jumping a few times. Just as he was about to say something, Xun Yu said in a low voice:

"Feng Xiao stayed up all night dealing with official duties, let him rest for a while. What is the reason for this long article?"

Chen Qun endured and endured, and finally persuaded himself to look away from Guo Jia.There are many opportunities to impeach Guo Jia, but at least today he must not refute Ling Jun's face and make Ling Jun embarrassed.

He also came closer, bowed in a low voice, and then gave up his position to let Tai Shiling behind him step forward and report to Xun Yu.

Since the pregnancy in the middle palace, the emperor has firmly believed in disasters and disasters, and various places have played auspiciousness.Xun Yu knew that this was mostly a way to please Shang Yi, but he also knew that the people believed in these ghosts and gods very much.Now that the world has been settled, since auspiciousness helps the Han Dynasty to gather people's hearts, it is appropriate and not impossible.

Just now when Tai Shiling and Chen Qun arrived, Xun Yu thought they were here again for Yan Xiangrui, so he didn't pay much attention.But when these people approached, Xun Yu saw Tai Shiling's gloomy expression, and even his body was trembling slightly.He knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice:

"Reporting to Lord Ling, I calculated the celestial phenomena today, and after five days, after five days..."

Xun Yu frowned slightly, but said gently and relieved: "You don't have to be nervous, just speak slowly."

Chen Qun sighed lightly, Dai Taishiling continued:

"Ling Jun, Taishi Ling calculated that there will be a solar eclipse at noon five days later."

Xun Yu said: "Then Yu will go to the palace and report to His Majesty, and arrange the rescue ceremony as soon as possible."

"It's not just a solar eclipse..." At this time, Tai Shiling seemed to have finally calmed down, but perhaps what he was about to say was too terrifying, and his voice was still trembling:

"Report to Lingjun, five days later, at the moment of Xu Shi, there will be Yinghuo guarding his heart!"
