Chapter 150 Chaotang (1)

Wang Ji lived up to Sima Zhao's expectations, and Sima Zhao also repaid his unparalleled trust, but Fu Fu's letter made Sima Zhao unable to help but think a lot. Wang Ji has always been loyal and betrayed him was something he could not imagine. Besides, even if he betrayed the Wei Kingdom, would Wang Ji want to defect to Shu Han? This is completely unreasonable.

Sima Zhao doesn't believe it! Someone believes it...

The official documents and letters sent back by Fu Fu were not only to Sima Zhao, but also to the court's court lieutenant, as well as Cao Huan, the puppet emperor of Wei. Tang Bin had a very good official position and a higher title. Naturally, many ministers were informed of this letter when he was reported to the Tingwei. Of course, many ministers were involved in the information. The ministers might not be able to see the suspicious points Sima Zhao saw, but the Duke of Jin didn't speak. Who dared to guess randomly? If you guess correctly, you, you, Qi Tian, ​​if you guess wrong, it would be miserable.

Others dare not guess, but someone dares! This person is not guessing, but putting the matter in the court to discuss it.

This person is Cao Huan, the emperor of Wei. The discussion is about what kind of posthumous title is given to Tang Bin.

Cao Huan has never participated in the national affairs and the power of the monarch, and has never had such power. What Sima Zhao said, Cao Huan is only responsible for covering the jade seal and declaring it as an emperor. Such days are actually quite comfortable, you don’t have to work, you just need to enjoy it. But this is the lord of a country and the noble of the nine fives. No one is deprived of power or robbed of his own country.

Cao Mao, the former Gaogui Township Duke, was one of the examples. What was the result? After death, he was just the title of Gaogui Township Duke. Will future generations remember that he was killed as an emperor?

Cao Huan also longs for power, but wants to survive even more. Who is the emperor has nothing to do with him? How old was Cao Mao, the king of Gaogui Township, when he was the emperor? Even if he only lived to be forty, he was the emperor for more than twenty years. Cao Huan never thought that he could still be the emperor in this life. Being a royal relative and living with a cautious fief is the greatest expectation.

Unexpectedly, Cao Mao died after only a few years of being the emperor, but he was chosen as a puppet by the Sima clan. If he was selected, he could not refuse. Sima Zhao even killed the emperor. What is a small king? He just accepts his fate.

It is not enough to accept his fate. Cao Huan is determined to be a good emperor. The so-called good emperor in Cao Huan's heart is to please Sima Zhao's emperor. Sima Zhao attaches importance to Wang Ji, and Cao Huan also knows it. Tang Bin is Wang Ji's beloved general and is also a senior general in the southeast. Such a person suddenly died. No matter how he died, he must be done with a decent situation after his death, which makes Sima Zhao happy and makes Wang Ji feel at ease. Therefore, Cao Huan summoned all the ministers in the court to discuss how to postpone Tang Bin, but he didn't think that all the ministers had no opinion.

Duke Jin has not made any statement yet, who dares to express his opinion? How to determine Tang Bin's death, Sima Zhao will not speak, and no one can decide. However, Duke Jin is far away in Luoyang, but the emperor here is eager to chase Tang Bin. The ministers couldn't help but make things difficult for the two sides, and for a moment they could only pretend not to hear it.

Seeing that the ministers did not respond, Cao Huan said anxiously: "My dear friends, General Tang Bin sacrificed his life for the country. Has he been harmed by others? I want to posthumously grant General Tang Bin to demonstrate his achievements during his lifetime and to appease the morale of the army. I don't know what position it is better to posthumously grant him?"

"This..." Seeing this, the ministers knew that they could not ask His Majesty for the third time, but how should they answer?

"Report to Your Majesty, General Tang Bin is very hard-working and is now unfortunately killed. This matter can be known to Duke Jin. It is a good idea to Duke Jin to decide it." Shangshu Xun Kai turned his eyes and answered after leaving the work. No one dared to say it, but he wanted to say it, but he didn't know what to say. It would be better to push it to Duke Jin. This would not only show it in front of His Majesty, but also take into account the face and intention of Duke Jin. More importantly, he saved the siege for the ministers and improved his reputation.

Xun Kai actually didn't have to be a leader, but he also had his own difficulties. Xun Kai and Jia Chong, who was executed for killing Cao Mao, the king of Gaogui Township, were relatives. The reason why Xun Kai could still sit in the position of Shangshu is because Jia Chong was Sima Zhao's confidant, and although he was killed, he was killed with tears. Second, because Xun's status in the Wei State was of great importance, Xun Kai had nothing to do. He had nothing to do, but he was not valued. In addition to Jia Chong's involvement, Xun Kai's performance in the battle against Shu Han also disappointed Sima Zhao. Various reasons made Xun Kai unwilling to be in the status quo and tried his best to improve his reputation.

Sometimes people are too evident to highlight their stupidity. Some ministers in the court do not know about it, and some are insiders. These people do not rush to make a first-hand man without saying anything, so they naturally have their own considerations and plans. But when everyone decides not to speak, they must have the same plans and concerns. Xun Kai thinks that what he said is not leaking, but it is leaking, and it is leaking very much.

Before Cao Huan could speak, a sharp gaze swept across Xun Kai's face. After Xun Kai met the gaze with a proud look, his heart suddenly fell into a deep valley and couldn't help but shivering. The man who looked at his surname Sima, with the only name Yan, was the Prince of Jin, and was the representative of the Sima family who stayed in Xuchang.

Before Prince Jin could speak, what were you rushing to say? Prince Jin represented Ma Zhao, the Jin company, and Prince Jin did not make any statement. Why are you filling in big cloves of garlic? Xun Kai knew that he had lost his words, closed his mouth and retreated to his position with a look of embarrassment, secretly scolded himself for being careless, and even scolded his colleagues who were officials in the same court. No one reminded him of such a big leak, which caused him to offend Prince Jin. The position of the Shangshu, I am afraid that he would not be able to save his position in the Shangshu.

Xun Kai retreated, but the Emperor Cao Huan of Wei asked before he could finish his request: "What is Xun Shangshu? Do you need to trouble King Jin after he was appointed as General Tang Bin? I think it is enough to ask Prince Jin." It turns out that Cao Huan also realized the situation of His Highness, so he put Xun Kai aside in one sentence and turned to ask Sima Yan what he meant.

Xun Kai was both angry and annoyed, and the ministers laughed at the side. Sima Yan stood up and said, "General Tang Bin was a victim of a slut! General Tang Bin is a pillar of the country and deserves some title. Your Majesty immediately ordered General Tang Bin to be named General Tang Bin and to arrest the murderer!"

Sima Yan finished speaking, and a court official came out to continue: "I think he could posthumously grant General Tang Bin the title of General Zhennan and Marquis of Jianye, and his descendants were promoted to show the grace of the emperor."

"Authentication!" Cao Huan ordered, and naturally someone drafted an order. The ministers also knew Sima Zhao's attitude towards Jiangnan, but Wang Ji was still unshakable, and the situation in Jiangnan did not allow Wang Ji to have any unfair intentions.

But now is it not easy to move, cannot move, or is it really not wanting to move? No one knows, but you always have to know, so many ministers went to the residence of Duke Jin to visit Sima Yan after the court meeting. Sima Yan is no longer the once young man, but has now grown into the son of Duke Jin who is extremely cunning and has no expression of joy and anger. Some people secretly believe that Sima Yan's wisdom cannot be compared with Sima Zhao, but his mind is better than his father.

The people who visited the Jin Gong’s mansion together were not only the ministers, but also the terrifying news, to be precise, a rumor. The rumor walker was naturally from Shu, but no one knew where the words came from when Xuchang were spread.

"The folk saying is that Tang Bin was killed by the Wu people in Jianye Palace. Is this true or false? Please teach me." Sima Yan sat in his father's seat and looked at the ministers. There were also these people in the court. When he arrived at the residence of Duke Jin, he had only different candidates for the seat. Of course, there was also this position.

Everyone just received the news, and they were shocked when they heard it! The Wu people's palace had already ordered a ban. If Tang Bin, as the highest bureaucrat who stayed in Jianye, was killed in private as the rumor said, then the story would be wonderful. It was a death sentence for private entry into the palace to disobey the holy order. If this is true, let alone chase the ban, it would be light. But after all, he was dead. Contact Fu Yun's pale letters and contacted... Thinking of this, everyone dared not think about it anymore. If Tang Bin, the first general under Wang Ji, died in the palace, would Wang Ji have a disobedient heart?

Jianye is strictly guarded and a city with long-term stability. It is unexpected that Tang Bin was ambushed and killed by a high position and power. The rumors naturally have no evidence, but it is related to Jianye's situation. Tang Bin's death and death in the palace can explain all doubts and resolve all doubts. The reason why Tang Bin was successfully ambushed because there was no Wei army in the palace, which is a good place to start. For this reason, the details of the documents sent back by Fu Qi were vague. Whether Wang Ji threatened Fu Qi or Fu Qi intentionally concealed it, it was not the point. The point was that any speculation was in line with various status quo.

"The rumors may not be true, and it is just a rumor. There are constant wars in the southeast, so there must be no mistakes. General Wang Ji is a pillar of the country and is deeply trusted by Duke Jin and will never make any plans. Master Fu is extremely talented and intelligent, and most of them have other hidden information and speaks frankly. Some things are not easy to be clear in the current sensitive period. The prince can contact Duke Jin as soon as possible to suppress rumors, so as to avoid those who are interested in provoking trouble and causing trouble." Shangshu Guo Yi said this after thinking. Guo Yi's courtesy name is Daye, and he has the same name as the son of Guo Jia, a famous minister of Wei, but has different names. He was the Shangshu in the court. After Pei Xiu, Zhang Hua, Fu Fu and others came out, he was the person who most trusted in Sima Yan.

"Well... Guo Shangshu's words are wrong!" A man shook his head and came out of work. Everyone saw it and shook his head secretly. The person who spoke was Pan Yue, the minister in the court. Pan Yue was good at framed and flattering. I don't know how many loyal and upright ministers were harmed by him. This person was also valued by the Sima family for this. Now that this person speaks, things in the southeast may not be good.

But when Pan Yue said, "Mr. Fu Qi is extremely smart. Even if he cannot expressly state it, he does not need to write it in such a general way. Besides, Wang Jijiu's town on Huainan is very popular. Even if Wang Ji has no erroneous heart, who can guarantee that his subordinates are loyal to Wei?"

Sima Yan glanced at Pan Yue. Although he had no good feelings for this person, he did say that. The Southeast military power has been in Wang Ji for nearly ten years. With Wang Ji's ability, these Wei soldiers must be loyal to Wang Ji. If loyal to Wang Ji is greater than loyal to Wei, this is a hidden danger, and a great hidden danger.

Pan Yue continued, "If this matter is true, Wang Ji can speak out in a clear conscience, so why should I hide it? Jin Gong is wise and the prince is wise. Will he still wrongly accuse him? Lord Fu Qi is resourceful and is a person next to the prince. If Wang Ji is willing to say that this is what his subordinates do privately, why not ask Lord Fu Qi to say a few good words?"

Speaking of this, some ministers have already stood on Pan Yue's side. Wang Ji and Fu Fu concealed the truth of the matter. What truth needs to be covered? Wang Ji is a favorite general of Sima Zhao, and Fu Fu is a close minister of the prince. If the two of them work together to excuse him, it is not difficult to explain the matter. Why do you have to do this?

Guo Yi stood aside, and when he saw Sima Yan's expression, he knew what Pan Yue said. Sima Yan had heard a little. He sighed slightly and said in his heart: "With a treacherous slander like Pan Yue harming the ministers in the court, he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. If he was Wang Ji, he would not tell them all in all."

Pan Yue said proudly: "The most important thing to understand the situation in the southeast now is that the prince can send envoys to Jianye to find out the truth, and urge Wang Ji and Fu Wei to reveal the truth as soon as possible. If you confess, you can leave the past without any blame. If you still cover up, there will inevitably be a ghost in it!"

"You are a big-headed ghost!" One of the ministers stood up and cursed! Everyone looked at it, it was Ruan Ji!

Pan Yue was stunned when he heard this. Seeing that it was Ruan Ji, he couldn't help but angrily said, "Mr. Ruan was slandering him, but I don't know what this means?" Sima Yan heard Ruan Ji's words and immediately wanted to see what was going on.

When Ruan Ji saw Pan Yue making trouble here, no one dared to speak out in the court officials. He spoke angrily for a moment, but at this moment he realized that his situation was in danger. Ruan Ji calmly said: "Don't do something bad, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door. The foolish people believe it. Do you Lord Pan also believe that there are ghosts?" After saying that, he went to see Pan Yue.

Pan Yue was stunned again when he heard this, "Believe it or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Ruan Ji smiled and said, "I have no shame in my heart, why are you afraid of calling the door? If you feel ashamed, why do you need to call the door? Lord Pan, what are you doing here?"

Pan Yue said angrily: "Human hearts are at work, so there is no ghost!"

Ruan Ji laughed and said, "Yes, yes, Lord Pan also knows that people's hearts are at work, but he just says that there are ghosts in the matter. Everyone is a scholar, and he doesn't say that strange powers are inconsistent with gods. Lord Pan wants to talk about people's hearts, but it's so inappropriate to use ghosts and monsters. Hahahahahahahaha!" After saying this, Ruan Ji turned around and laughed. The laughter was full of comfort and a bit sad.

At this time, Pan Yuefang realized that he was being tricked by this old guy. This old guy obviously made a mistake and just asked these ghosts to make excuses. He didn't understand why he was wandering around for two, but he was suspected of Wang Ji and Fu Fu's in front of everyone's face. He was really unpredictable. Ruan Ji pretended to be crazy and stupid all day long and was indeed difficult to deal with.

Wang Ji is a beloved general of Duke Jin, and Fu Qi is the favorite minister of the prince. He has been offended by the emperor. If the two of them have nothing to do, will there be a place for him to gain a foothold in the court in the future? Wang Ji is an external general, so Fu Qi is resourceful. If he is sincerely targeting him, he will definitely have no way to survive. Thinking of this, Pan Yue made up his mind and today's affairs will inevitably be nailed to death. Either you die or I die!
