"Then please drink a cup of hot wine to drive away the cold air!" For such a devoted young man, Cao Cao admired him very much. He quickly fetched a bronze wine cup, poured a full cup, and handed it to Xiao Yi with both hands.

"Thank you, General Cao, for giving me the wine!" After taking the Bronze Jue, he drank it all in one gulp, hehe!It turned out to be the 'Worryless Wine' invented by himself... Although he knew that the other party was a traitor, Xiao Yi's affection for Cao Cao was still rising.Although as a time traveler, he should have transcended the scope of history long ago, Xiao Yi is still a mortal with flesh and blood after all, and the indifference and contempt of all the high-ranking officials; compared with Cao Cao's care and attention;..."Scholar is a confidant" Die! No wonder this duke will have counselors like clouds and warriors like rain in the future!"

History is so full of impersonality!

Some people have their families ruined because of a trivial matter. Similarly, some people can exchange a city or even the whole world for a meal and a glass of wine.Don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small!Words of wisdom!

If the other people present here could know the ability and role that Xiao Yi will display in the future world situation, they would probably have surrounded themselves with tears and hugged their thighs by now, not to mention asking them to toast, or making them kneel They will not shake their heads when serving wine from the ground, because compared with a country, all the sacrifices are worthwhile.

Unfortunately, in the entire Three Kingdoms period, only Cao Cao possessed such a vision, mind and courage,... "Looking at Jieshi in the east, you can see the sea!... How magnificent!"

71. Chapter 71 What the Hero Sees

In the lobby, the introduction was over, and with the banquet on the table, everyone began to get to the point. Today, the struggle between relatives and eunuchs in Luoyang City has reached a fever pitch, and the specific means of struggle is to compete for the crown prince. bit.

Everyone knows that Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, is getting weaker and weaker, and he may die soon, but the position of the crown prince has not yet been determined; One is Liu Xie, the second son of the emperor born to Wang Meiren.

A few years ago, Empress He sent someone to secretly kill Wang Meiren with poisoned wine out of jealousy. Although this move eliminated her love rival in one fell swoop, it also angered Emperor Ling of Han. There was a conflict between the emperor and empress. Liu Xie, the second son of the emperor, has been raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, the biological mother of the Emperor Ling. Because of his intelligence, he has always been loved by the Empress Dowager Dong and the emperor.

General He Jin naturally supported his nephew, the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Bian. One side is more favored by the emperor, so the two sides are evenly matched and have not been able to tell the winner.

"Master Zhang is a general in charge of the army. He must have great foresight to guard one side. I hope you will not hesitate to enlighten me on the matter of establishing a reserve!" As the master of this place, He Jin first raised the topic, and at the same time forced Zhang Yang to make a thorough confession. One's own political stance is completely on one's own side.

"Xiaguan has been in the outer town for a long time, and he is not very familiar with the situation in Beijing. All of you here are famous people in the world, and you must have great foresight. Zhang, please listen carefully!" He kicked the ball back.

Although these people here are sitting together because of temporary political interests, in fact, there are also intrigues among themselves. Everyone has their own little jokes, and each has their own hole card. Whoever speaks first will reveal his hole card. Come on, and in political struggles, the person who runs out of cards first will only be left to be counted by others.For a moment, everyone looked at their noses and mouths, and asked their hearts with their mouths, like old monks in meditation, sitting there motionless, waiting for others to reveal their hole cards first, and the competition at this time is endurance.

Silence, quiet silence, even a little weird silence...

Finally, during the long competition, Yuan Shu couldn't sit still for the first time. This proud son of the aristocratic family was the first to stand up and said: "A family has a son, and a state has a prince! The rules have never changed, the prince Liu Bian is the son of Empress He, and it is a matter of course to support him as the crown prince. From the perspective of art, I will ask the general to contact the elders and important officials of the court tomorrow. !"

What Yuan Shu said sounded righteous, but it was actually an insinuation; as we all know, among the two brothers of the Yuan family, the eldest brother Yuan Shao is a concubine, while the younger brother Yuan Shu is a concubine. The heart is not at peace, these words are clearly expressing support for the prince Liu Bian, but in fact they are implying that everyone, concubines are more important than concubines, and Yuan Shu will be the head of the Yuan family in the future.

"My little brother's words are biased!" Seeing the fire burning on his head, Yuan Shao couldn't sit still, but on the surface he still maintained the demeanor of a son of a family. The Holy Majesty was not born as a descendant. In the past, Emperor Huan had no sons after his death, so he welcomed the current Holy Majesty to succeed him. If the General wrote a letter to establish a heir, wouldn't it be questioning the legitimacy of the Emperor's ascension to the throne? It would only be counterproductive. Shaozhi's opinion: In troubled times, the country depends on the eldest son! The prince Liu Bian is the eldest son of His Majesty, and I invite the general to write a letter to establish the chief!"

Yuan Shao also meant to support the prince Liu Bian, but by taking advantage of Han Lingdi's life experience, he cleverly transformed Li Di into Li Chang. Foreword, the Yuan family will have to rely on his eldest son to take the helm in the future.

Before the common enemy was defeated, internal strife broke out among his own people. Even the great general He Jin who was a butcher could smell the strong smell of gunpowder, but he didn't care about the battle between the two brothers of the Yuan family. Neither.

In desperation, he had no choice but to change his target. He Jin saw Cao Cao sitting there steadily, as if he had been thinking about something, and asked, "I don't know what Meng De thinks? "

Hearing He Jin call his name, Cao Cao opened a pair of tiny eyes, glanced at everyone present with radiant eyes, and then slowly said: "In Cao's opinion, in the matter of establishing a reserve First, standing is worse than not standing, and not standing is really beneficial!" After finishing speaking, he resumed his closed-eyed thinking demeanor, but a contemptuous smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth...

"Oh!……"

Cao Cao's words were a bit esoteric and difficult to understand, and everyone fell into deep thought for a while, what is standing is worse than not standing? ...

Although everyone was confused, Xiao Yi, who was standing with his sword in the hall, immediately understood Cao Cao's meaning: "A traitor is worthy of being a traitor! Political tricks are played very beautifully, and all the essence of the matter can be explained in just one sentence!"

Cao Cao's words have three meanings when interpreted

First: Liu Bian was originally the eldest son and the first son, but he has not been established as the crown prince for a long time. It can be seen that the emperor's second son, Liu Xie, is really the emperor's favorite in the heart of Han Lingdi. As well as the tradition of establishing the eldest son first among the successive dynasties, that's why he has been hesitant about establishing the crown prince.

Second, since the emperor is really optimistic about Liu Xie, the second son of the emperor, if everyone writes a letter now and causes a storm of establishing a crown prince, I am afraid that the chances of winning will be very small, and it may even backfire, forcing the emperor to make up his mind and make the second son Liu Xie Liu Xie pushed it up.

Finally, think about it in reverse, if there is no crown prince, who will inherit the throne when the emperor ascends to heaven?

The answer is: if there is no clear crown prince, then the family law of the ancestors and the succession system of the eldest son must be followed. In this way, Liu Bian, the eldest son of the emperor, will naturally ascend to the throne.

So now it is more beneficial for their group not to establish a crown prince than to establish a crown prince!

........................

After a while, everyone slowly understood the meaning. Although they didn't speak, they clearly agreed with Cao Cao's opinion.

The prefect Zhang Yang also nodded frequently while listening in his seat, and couldn't help but look at this unattractive Cao Cao, "It's true that people can't be judged by appearances, and the sea water can't be measured..."

"What do you think Xiao Lang?" After listening to everyone's suggestions, Zhang Yang turned around and secretly asked Xiao Yi who was standing behind him. Obviously, he recognized the young man's wisdom very much.

"Return to my lord, let the wind and waves rise, as long as you sit firmly on the side of the boat and hold the steel fork tightly, you will surely gain something!" Xiao Yi also replied softly, and at the same time secretly raised the sword that he had been holding tightly in his hand.

In the face of strength, all fireworks and bubbles are empty. Now it seems that the situation in the court is changing, but in the end, I am afraid that all problems will have to be solved by force.So his meaning is very simple, to remind Zhang Yang, hold the military power in his hands well, and he will definitely become the fisherman who benefits in the end.

…………

While everyone was drinking and discussing matters in the lobby, in the dark outside the corridor, a pair of peach blossom eyes were coldly peering at everything inside, especially when they saw Xiao Yi's vigorous body, they showed a kind of starving dog. Crazy, it seems that I can't wait to pounce on it and take a bite immediately.

"Xiao Yi...Xiao Wuchou...Wushouzi! We meet again..." With a voice of gnashing of teeth, and by the bright lights outside the lobby, a thin figure with willow-leaf eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, A young man with a straight nose and cherry red lips slowly appeared; it was the 'Mr Zimu' who escaped from Panlong Pavilion like a bereaved dog a few months ago.

It turned out that after Mr. Zimu escaped from the Panlong Pavilion, he ran to Luoyang in one breath. Relying on his previous friendship with Yuan Shu, he gave him the 'Pojun' sword as a gift. After all kinds of pleadings, he was finally taken in. After he settled down, he temporarily worked as a doorman under Yuan Shu's staff; because of his handsome appearance, coupled with his eloquence and long-sleeved ability to dance, after a few months, he has been very successful...

The current 'Mr. Zimu' is quite different from before. He was originally a very intelligent person, but he had been too smooth in the past, which made him feel extremely conceited. It was a great stimulation to his mind, but at the same time, it also sharpened his mind, just like quenching and sharpening a dagger; today's 'Purple Wood' can be said to be glorious and restrained, as deep as the sea .

He took another look at the scene where the general He Jin and the prefect Zhang Yang were discussing things in the inner hall. When his eyes turned, Mr. Zimu seemed to realize something...

He is well aware of the current situation in Luoyang City; it seems that a chance to make a fortune and take revenge is right in front of him!With a grinning sneer, the figure disappeared into the darkness...

A moment later, a fat pig-like figure sneaked out from the side corner door of the backyard of the General's Mansion, looked left and right for no one, then touched his arms, looking worried, and then took out A letter, carefully stuffed into his boots, then covered with a black veil, took two short legs, and ran directly to the living area of ​​the eunuchs behind the palace, with a slight sound of footsteps, It quickly disappeared into the dark night...

On the lobby, after an hour, Zhang Yang stood up and said goodbye. After resolutely declining He Jin's request to open the main gate and set up a team to see him off, he took Xiao Yi and a dozen guards and returned to the military camp outside the city along the original road. .

Along the way, Zhang Yang frowned, "If you don't have knowledge, you must have some knowledge, right? Even if you don't have knowledge, you must have some common sense! But this butcher general... Hey!...Xiao Lang! Can great things be achieved now?"

If Zhang Yang was [-]% sure before, then after seeing the 'Grand Butcher' He Jin now, he might not even be [-]% sure.

"My lord, since I have met a teammate who is like a pig, now I can only pray that I will not meet an opponent who is like a god!" Xiao Yi also replied with a helpless expression.

Ask for collection!Thanks!God be with readers!

72. Chapter 72 The Secret Building

The Jade Rabbit fell to the west, and the Golden Crow rose to the east. At dawn, the soldiers in the barracks got up from their tents and started to get ready to go before the sound of the horn sounded. Many people put on new clothes and robes that they were usually reluctant to wear. The armor was also polished and re-oiled, and even the horses were specially brushed and washed.

Today is the day to enter Luoyang, the eastern capital. Most of the officers and soldiers in the army are the children of the Yanzhao generation. In this era, Luoyang City is like a high heaven to them.

Even Da Niu and Ma Liu who were beside Xiao Yi looked excited. You must know that the transportation in this era is extremely underdeveloped, and many people have never been to a place hundreds of miles away from their hometown; Those of them in the small town of Crouching Tiger Pavilion probably never dreamed that they would be able to enter Luoyang City one day.If they were told at this time that not only Luoyang City, but also the imperial palace inside would be allowed to come and go in a few months, these two would probably faint from excitement!

The city of Luoyang during the day looks completely different from that at night. The city gate is tall and heavy, and the turbulent Luo River winds around the city, forming a natural moat. There is a suspension bridge on it, which is connected by a cable turntable. Once pulled up, It is difficult for all armies to enter.Black Han banners are planted all over the majestic city wall, and you can't see the edge at a glance. The top tower stands tall on the top, and the arrow piles are densely packed like a honeycomb, which makes people frightened; what an indestructible Luoyang city!

"It's a pity! No matter how strong the fortress is, it is afraid of being breached from the inside!" Seeing such a perfect city defense system in front of him, Xiao Yi sighed in his heart.

After entering the city, the soldiers divided into two groups. The prefect Zhang Yang was going to rest in the post specially prepared for officials entering Beijing, and then patiently waited for the emperor's edict; The condition is getting worse, and it is estimated that foreign ministers will not be able to be summoned in a short time, and even the planned Luoyang Grand Parade has been postponed.

During this period of time, Zhang Yang was going to take the opportunity to make friends with courtiers, visit various aristocrats, and try his best to win over more political allies. Although Zhang Yang was ready to vote for General He Jin, the power struggle in the palace was always unpredictable. Before the advantage, no one will put all the chips on it, try to spread the investment as much as possible, multiple friends have multiple paths!

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi led his three thousand mysterious armored cavalry to temporarily station in the imperial garden in the north of Luoyang City, quietly waiting for the development of the situation.Compared with the tens of thousands of garrisons around Luoyang City, these 3000 people can be said to be an insignificant small force, but don't forget that although the arrow cluster is small, as long as it is shot at a vital point, it can also achieve the effect of one arrow!

The ancient emperors searched for seedlings in summer in spring, hunted in autumn and winter: they went out to hunt in the suburbs at four o'clock to show their power to the world.
