Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 337 Eight Years of Struggle, Finally Consummation

When Zhuge Liang split the two governments, Li Yan had plans to come back.

When Zhuge Liang withdrew from the court due to physical reasons, and Ma Di took over the power and repeatedly denied Li Yan's comeback plan, Li Yan decided to do it.

Although Li Yan relied on his connections to manipulate people including Qiao Zhou, Fei Yi, Yang Yi, and Wang Ping to form a covert alliance of frustrated people, and insisted on accomplishing the assassination of Ma Di, but he still took great risks in doing so. risk.

Ma Di is not a kind person, and as a general, holding military power, it is impossible for him not to attach great importance to "self-safety".Once the assassination operation fails due to uncontrollable factors, not only will Li Yan's carefully planned layout fall short, but he will inevitably face Ma Di's all-round revenge.

In order to avoid falling into this kind of situation after the assassination failed, and to prevent being caught up in the net, Li Yan could only set up a few more joints, hide behind the scenes, and control the progress of the whole incident.

In this way, once things fail, he only needs to make a move in a certain link, and then accurately grasp the direction of public opinion in the court, and he can remain invincible.

Therefore, after the assassination failed and Fei Yi and Yang Yi were exiled by Ma Di in an unreasonable way, he immediately launched Plan B, instructing Qiao Zhou to poison Fei Yi's family and then frame Xia Houba.

Why frame Xiahouba instead of Ma Di directly?
Because directly framing Ma Su would appear to be a particularly low-level means, but framing Xiahouba seems more reasonable-Xiahouba has a close relationship with Ma Di and holds an important position. Once the news of poisoning Fei Yi's family spreads, everyone will think that Xia Houba's move was ordered by Ma Su.

This is a relatively clever strategy of killing two birds with one stone. It not only made Ma Di hard to argue, but also made Xia Houba stigmatized by his brutal image of "doing everything to eliminate dissidents".

As long as this matter is confirmed, the next thing will be simple, just incite all officials and let them write a letter to impeach Ma Di.

During the whole session, Li Yan's only miscalculation was "Qiao Zhou's front foot was poisoned, and his back foot was bumped into by Ma Di". He didn't know how Ma Di would go to Beicheng by such a coincidence and meet Fei Yi's family by such a coincidence.

——This is the whole picture of Li Yanjing's conspiracy that Ma Di inferred.

Looking at Li Yan's calm expression after the indignation, Ma Di felt a chill in his heart when he was angry. Behind this guy's calm face, there is such a cruel heart.Thanks to Zhuge Liang and him, they didn't look down on Li Yan's son because he had a criminal record, and raised Li Feng as an important minister. Unexpectedly, all these favors became a breeding ground for Li Yan's ambition.

However, if he just rejected Li Yan's comeback proposal, as long as Zhuge Liang was still alive, Li Yan would not have spent such a great deal of thought on assassinating him. Assassinating him would only allow Zhuge Liang to return to court.

Ma Di really couldn't figure this out. He looked at Li Yan and asked, "Even if you kill me and the prime minister is still alive, how can you take over?"

Qu Shang rushed to answer this question, and said to Ma Su, "General, is it possible that he thought the prime minister was about to die..."

"..."

"Actually, it is well known that the prime minister was in poor health at that time. The imperial physician once asserted that the prime minister would not live for three months, but something happened later..."

Indeed something happened, Zhuge Liang used the method of prolonging his life to extend his life for 12 years.

It is probably for this reason that Li Yan is so desperate. Seeing that I came to settle accounts with him, he didn't even make sophistry. said:
"Master Li, you are a decent person, you should know how to do it?"

"I know." Li Yan nodded desolately, looking straight at the shining saber in front of him, like a sculpture.

Ma Di turned around and cupped his hands at Xiang Lang, walked out, and told Qu Shang who was following up, "If he is not decent..."

Qu Shang understood, "Then this subordinate will help him to look good!"

Ma Di hummed and walked away.

Qu Shang stayed behind with a dozen guards.

Outside the pavilion of Li Mansion.

Xiang Lang was still persuading Li Yan: "Zhengfang, why don't I get rid of this old face and go to the prime minister to beg for your mercy..."

"No need, Juda." Li Yan shook his head, moved his lips, and hesitated to speak.

But Xiang Lang knew what he wanted to say later.In the past, when he and Zhuge Liang were the same ministers of Tuogu and stood side by side in the court, Li Yan was so high-spirited and conceited, he was intoxicated by the compliments and envious eyes of others and couldn't extricate himself.Suddenly reduced to common people, suffering from the warmth and coldness of human feelings, on the contrary, they can examine the whole matter from a more objective perspective.

At this stage in the development of this matter, no one can save him, and Zhuge Liang will not save him.

No one will forgive a murderer who wants to plot his own assassination.

Before dying, Li Yan's only worry was that his son Li Feng would be implicated.

"Juda, I..." Li Yan pulled out the saber on the ground, and looked at Xiang Lang for help.

Xiang Lang waved again and again, "Zhengfang, please forgive me for my helplessness regarding the matter of your son. Farewell, farewell..."

As he spoke, he picked up his crutches, and with the help of his servants, he hurried away.

Li Yan stood there, not moving for a long time.

Qu Shang, who was waiting in the distance, made an "angry bird" expression, and his heart became more and more impatient.

"Old man, are you dead or not?"

"If you don't die, I will give you a ride!"

"Just die, die..." Li Yan quickly said in a low voice.It's impossible not to humble yourself, the life of the little one is still in his hands.

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle!"

……

On the way back to the Grand General's Mansion, Ma Di was filled with joy, anger, confusion, disappointment, etc., with mixed feelings, to name a few.Delighted by Li Yan's execution, angered by the court's intrigue, and disappointed by the fact that the man behind the scenes is not Sima Shi.

The knife in his hand was raised, and he was waiting to catch Sima Shi's definite evidence of his crime. When the time came, he would finish using Sima Yi, and then he would take over the Sima family.

As a result, the assassination case was full of twists and turns, but the final result was planned by Li Yan.This made Ma Su surprised, but also a little speechless.

But this also reminded him that compared to the thorns on the bright side, the League of the Frustrated who hides in the dark is also not to be underestimated, and if you are not careful, you will be hit hard.

As soon as he returned to the General's Mansion, Ma Di spread out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to count those officials who had held important positions in Wei, Shu and Wu, who were proud of their careers, and then very frustrated after unifying the world, and then ordered Qu Bu to classify these people. , Dispose of in batches.

Those who should be dismissed should be sent back to their hometowns, those who should be transferred should be transferred to other places, those who should have ransacked their homes, and those who should have been promoted should be promoted.

In short, those dissatisfied officials with great energy and connections are all being liquidated.

All of a sudden, the officers and soldiers in Chang'an Mansion came and went in a hurry, startling many dignitaries.Every dignitary who was expelled and dismissed cursed at Li Yan. If Li Yan hadn't been behind the scenes, how could they have suffered such an indiscriminate disaster?

After Ma Di cleaned up the entire Chang'an, he looked up and saw that it was already the end of the 14th year of Lite, and the system prompt came as scheduled.
