Chapter 155 Sima Fa Comes Out
Han Chong and Han Chao heard that the main army was defeated, and the general Fu Lizhe was killed in a trap. Ouyang Chun led his troops north to attack Ji Yang, and was shocked.
The two brothers hurriedly withdrew their troops and went to support them.
When he arrived at Ji Yang, he joined forces with the defenders and guarded the city.
The news came back to Dangliang County, Chizhou. Lu Gong learned that the general Fu Lizhe and military commander Guang Yixi were killed, and fainted on the spot.
Fu Lizhe was the general he relied most, and Guang Yixi was the military advisor he had finally obtained. Both of them made great contributions to him and were his right-hand man.
Now it seems that someone has lost his hands, which is heartbreaking.
After finally recovering, he hurriedly summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss.
Emperor Wen was there, and was shocked when he heard about this.
All the civil and military officials in the court couldn't believe it. When did such a ruthless character appear in Jinzhou?
General Fu Lizhe is a powerful general who survived in the hands of Tang Niu, the world's number one military general, with great achievements and invincible results. Although military coach Guang Yixi joined for a short time, he was full of wisdom and showed amazing strength when fighting against Zhou Xu.
No one thought that they would be defeated or even die in such a combination.
Who is this Ouyang Chun? I have never heard of it before, why did Fu Lizhe and Guang Yixi fall into his hands?
All the officials were talking, their faces were not good-looking.
No one took Liu Yuanxiang seriously before, let alone Ning Ze seriously.
As a result, Ning Ze led his army southward and quickly captured Hanzhou, joined forces with Dewey to defeat Chubai and Su Jun. General Fu Lizhe and military coach Guangyixi led the army to fight. Not only failed to capture Dan County, he also died at the hands of an unknown Ouyang Chun.
The two pillars of the court collapsed in an instant, no wonder all officials were frightened.
Lu Gong's face looked very ugly. When he remembered that his left and right arm had lost so much, he felt heartbroken and looked around and asked, "The general and his military advisor were in Danyang. Now the enemy has sent troops to attack Ji Yang. What are you going to do to defeat the enemy?"
"Prime Minister!" Grand Marshal Sun Ran stood up and bowed and said, "Then Ouyang Chun can design to kill the general and military advisor, which is definitely not an ordinary person! Now that the other side leads troops to attack Ji Yang, they must increase their troops to defend themselves! If Ji Yang loses it, it will be extremely unfavorable to us!"
"Who is willing to lead the troops to support?" Lu Gong looked around the officials.
A general bowed his fists and asked: "The last general is willing to lead his troops to fight to avenge the general and military advisor!"
Lu Gong turned around and found that it was General Zhou Hao of the Cavalry, so he said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask General General of the Cavalry to lead 50,000 troops to help Ji Yang."
"Here!" Zhou Hao received the order and immediately led his troops to the war.
After Zhou Hao set off, Lu Cong asked the officials again: "The military advisor was unfortunately killed. Can you recommend someone to replace him?"
Grand Marshal Sun Ran replied: "Did the Prime Minister forget Sima Fa?"
"Sima Fa?" Lu Gong frowned when he heard this, "What if this person refuses to become an official?"
Sun Ran replied: "This is the time and the other is the time! The Prime Minister might as well try it. If it fails, then find another method."
Lu Gong felt it made sense, so he immediately retreated from the court and took people to Sima Fa's home in person.
When he saw Sima Fa, General Fu Lizhe and Military Military Guang Yixi's death were truthfully stated, and he sobered and asked: "If you don't come out of the mountain to help you, the court will be in danger, and Emperor Wen will be in danger! The great success of the country will definitely be in turmoil!"
Sima Fa was quite surprised when he heard this: "Guang Yixi's wisdom and great strategies were even more difficult to kill? Who is Ouyang Chun?"
"Although I don't know who Ouyang Chun is, Ning Ze occupied Hanzhou and is now planning to seize the territory of the three states of Yuan and Xi, which is unstoppable!" Lu Gong asked sadly, "If sir, if he doesn't come out of the mountain, the world will be stolen by the thief!"
Sima Fa thought for a long time and stood up and said, "Guang Yixi has some connection with Jae Xia, and he was recommended to join the Prime Minister, which led to today's affairs. Jae Xia was also a little interested in Na Ningze and Ouyang Chun..."
"Sir, did you agree to come out?" Lu Gong asked hurriedly.
"If you want to go out of the mountain, you must agree to three conditions!" Sima Fa raised his right hand and stretched out his three fingers.
"Don't talk about three, even thirty ones agree!" Lu Gong answered hurriedly.
"If this is the first one, the Prime Minister must use it, and he must completely delegate power! Let the subordinate command the three armies, control all the military and horses of the court, and enforce the orders. Except for Your Majesty and the Prime Minister, all civil and military officials must obey the dispatch!" Sima Fa said seriously.
Lu Gong agreed without hesitation: "This is natural! As long as the sir is willing to help me, this matter is not difficult!"
"Okay! For this second condition, I heard that the eldest daughter in the prime minister's family was only 28 years old and was in her early years. She lost her wife in her early years and had not yet reunited. She wanted to marry a lady and be the son-in-law of the prime minister."
Hearing this request, Lu Gong's face changed "swish", and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Why?
In fact, the eldest daughter Lu Xi is not his biological daughter, but her adopted daughter. She was brought to her home at the age of 2 and raised her for fourteen years, just like her biological daughter.
Whether it is a biological daughter or an adopted daughter, it is not the main problem.
Lu Cong is only 30 years old, Sima Fa is 49, and he is 19 years older than him. At his age, he is qualified to be his father, but he wants to marry his daughter who is only sixteen years old. It is very common for old couples to be a 30-year-old father-in-law to be Sima Father-in-law at 49 years old. It feels a bit ridiculous.
Seeing that Lu Gong changed his face and lowered his head and said nothing, Sima Fa smiled and said, "If the Prime Minister is reluctant to leave the lady, this matter must have never been mentioned!"
Lu Gong is not an ordinary person who can have the status today. After thinking about it, he felt that Sima Fa really has such strong abilities. What is this? Even if he wants to be a father, let alone be his own son-in-law and a junior. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "It is her blessing to be able to fall in love with Xi'er! This matter has been decided, and I'll ask you to hire him on a date!"
Sima Fa looked at Lu Gong carefully and nodded slightly: "Prime Minister is generous! For this third condition, please ask the Prime Minister to depose Liu De and make Fujiang King Liu Zhe the new emperor."
Lu Gong's face changed: "What does this mean by sir? Since Emperor Wen took office, he has never lost his virtue. If he forcibly abolished it, how do people in the world view their true nature?"
Sima Fa smiled and said, "No matter whether it is Liu De, or Liu Zhe, or even Liu Xian who is far away in the Imperial City of Yunzhou, they are just puppets! If the Prime Minister has no intention of becoming an emperor, he will not be willing to help him!"
Lu Gong was so scared that he turned his head and looked behind him. All the guards on both sides knew each other and left the house. He whispered to Sima Fa: "I am dedicated to assisting Dacheng, why did you say this?"
"The Prime Minister's mind, heaven knows the earth knows you know me!" Sima Fa said with a smile.
Lu Gong was silent for a long time and asked in a low voice: "Why do you want me to change Liu Zhe?"
"Emperor Wen Liu De appeared to be respectful, but in fact he was quite ambitious. I am afraid that the Prime Minister would not know that many civil and military officials would secretly pay their respects to Liu Dezhi in private. If you let him go, it would be detrimental to the Prime Minister sooner or later!"
"What happened?" Lu Gong was shocked, "Why have you never heard of it? Where did you know about it?"
"The Prime Minister is determined to fight Zhou Yu and trusts the officials in the court too much!" Sima Fa replied, "As far as I know, Zong Zheng He Qi has had a close relationship with Emperor Wen. If you search for his residence, you will definitely get something!"
"He Qi?" Lu Gong pondered when he heard this. Others may not be sure. He Qi was defeated by himself and had to come to the court to be an official and was undermined. He was very likely... Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked Sima Fa, "Sir, are you willing to deal with this matter for your own sake?"
"As long as the Prime Minister agrees to the conditions under the jurisdiction, he will naturally clear everything for the Prime Minister!" Sima Fa replied with a smile.
Lu Gong pondered for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why do you mean by Fujiang King Liu Zhe?"
"Liu Zhe is cowardly and docile, and he will not dare to resist."
When Lu Gong heard this, he nodded, and after thinking, he said to him: "I agree to all the requests made by sir!"
"Since that's the case," Sima Fa stood up and bowed, bent down and said, "I am willing to pacify the world for the Prime Minister!"
A few days later, Sima Fa did come to the door to hire him personally.
Lu Gong accepted the betrothal gift and agreed to the marriage, held a banquet with his family, and invited all officials to celebrate.
All civil and military officials came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to congratulate Lu Gong.
Lu Gong followed Sima Fa's advice and took advantage of the fact that all the civil and military officials were visiting the mansion and secretly ordered people to lead troops to the Zongzheng Heqi mansion to search.
As a result, the jade pendant that Emperor Wen carries with him was found and a secret edict was also found.
His subordinates presented the jade pendant and secret edict to Lu Gong. After carefully reading the content of the edict, it turned out that Emperor Wen Liu De ordered He Qi to gather civil and military officials who were absolutely loyal to Dacheng to help him eradicate Lu Gong and regain the imperial power. Obviously, he was unwilling to be a puppet and hoped to truly rule the world.
Seeing the secret decree, Lu Gong's cold light flashed.
I thought Liu De would be obedient and obedient, and when he defeated other princes and unified the sixteen prefectures, he would force him to abdicate and inherit the throne with justification. Unexpectedly, Liu De would be obedient on the surface and wanted to deal with him secretly.
Sima Fa did not deceive himself, and indeed Liu De was unwilling to obey.
So he returned to the banquet, pointed at He Qi in front of the civil and military officials, and shouted: "Come on! Take down this traitor!"
Hula rushed in and quickly held He Qi down.
The civil and military officials were shocked, and He Qi was also confused and shouted loudly: "What is the Prime Minister doing? What crime did the lower official commit?"
Sima Fa walked out from behind, held up Emperor Wen's jade pendant, and said loudly: "Your Majesty's belongings were stolen. The Prime Minister found out that it was He Qi's work. He just sent someone to search the He Mansion and found the stolen treasure! This jade is the treasure of the royal family. If you steal the treasure of the royal family, you should be beheaded!"
He Qi's face changed drastically and he hurriedly shouted "I'm wronged!"
But I dare not tell the truth.
Since the jade pendant was discovered, the secret edict given to him by Emperor Wen was also seized by the other party. It was clearly hidden well, why was it dug out?
"The evidence of the crime is conclusive, but you still dare to argue?" Lu Gong ordered, "On the left and right, take off his official hat and put it in the death row! After Xier's wedding is completed, she will leave the Meridian Gate and behead him for public display!"
"Unforgivable! Unjust..." He Qi kept shouting, and was soon taken down by the guards.
The civil and military officials at the scene were silent.
No one is a fool, so naturally he would not believe that He Qi would steal the jade pendant of Emperor Wen. There must be something strange about it.
Of course, there were also those who met He Qi and secretly discussed the matter, trembling and at a loss.
Lu Cheng did not continue digging deeper, but instead pretended that nothing happened.
However, after Sima Fa married Lu Xi, Emperor Wen Liu De suddenly died of serious illness.
Liu De had never left his children, and Lu Cong supported Fujiang King Liu Zhe, but all officials dared not object.
