Chapter seven hundred and first corruption
The book was written out of Xu Du, and Cao Gong accepted it in his dominion, Yecheng.
The file brought by Zhao Lei was supposed to be a copy sent by the Xu Du court to an important official office in Jingzhou.
It seems that the new Secretary of Shang Ling Dong Zhao was very effective in Xu Du's high-pressure governance, and the tens of thousands of soldiers of the cavalry general Cao Zhang also played a role. Therefore, while the letter was issued to Yecheng, the court did not care about the resignation procedures he should have and directly distributed many copies to the local government offices. It seems that the ministers and ministers in Xu Du's court were eager to tell everyone that the court had surrendered to Prime Minister Cao. These pillars of the Han Dynasty could be said to have a strong desire to survive.
The Jingzhou scholars who had been personally attached to Duke Xuande were collected by Duke Cao, and they were all exchanged for Xiahou Dun, Zhang He and his troops. At this time, the Cao army was concentrated in the military towns such as Xiangyang, Fancheng, and the Ministry of Military Law was placed inside, and the control was very strict. I don’t know what channels did the Jingzhou Military Palace obtain this file through.
Zhuge Liang nodded to Zhao Lei, then opened the file and whispered: "I have suffered a few misfortunes because of my lack of virtue. I am in the Western Land and moved to Tang Wei..."
After Zhao Lei got the file, he held it all the way, and the sweat on his hands moistened the file, causing the handwriting to blur several places. Zhuge Liang quickly stopped reading it.
He lowered his head, held the file tightly with his left hand, and then added his right hand. He fell into silence.
Lei Yuan could not see Zhuge Liang's expression, but only saw the blue veins burst out of his hands, and the white feather fan fell to the ground.
Everyone knows that it is inevitable that Cao Cao will go further; but when this incident happened, Zhuge Liang was still shocked and angry.
For decades, the Han Dynasty was torn and the Liu family declined, so there was a war of smoke everywhere and the world was in chaos. But no matter what, Ma Chao, the powerful princes, at least on the surface, still respected the Han Dynasty... until now.
When Cao Cao's move to advance to Duke Wei began, the process of "using Wei to replace Han" began. Once this process started, there was no possibility of being stopped. Duke Cao and the countless people who depended on him would advance it at all costs until the Han Dynasty collapsed, and until a new dynasty followed.
In other words, the Han Dynasty, which Zhuge Liang was familiar with and which he expressed his feelings, embarked on the road to death from this time. The Han Dynasty revived by Xuande Gong was ultimately not the Han Dynasty passed down from Guangwu.
After a while, Zhuge Liang raised his head and took a deep breath. He handed the file to Lei Yuan, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The treacherous minister is in the Han Dynasty. The situation is so dangerous. The ministers and officials do not strive for trouble, but instead write a good article!"
Lei Yuan was too lazy to read the forced text. He returned the file to Zhao Lei and asked, "Does the military advisor want to return to Yizhou as soon as possible?"
Zhuge Liang bent down and picked up the feather fan, his expression completely calmed down. He shook his head: "No need. On the other end of the lord, you will receive the message no longer than us. Everything corresponding to it is also arranged, so we don't need to be busy."
Speaking of this, he looked at Zhuge Qiao. Seeing that the child was worried about looking at the place a little further away, he laughed softly: "I have time this afternoon, I have to accompany Aqiao to climb the Jiangling Tower and see the scenery of Jingnan Ju Town."
As Zhuge Liang said, the same copy of the book was brought to Liu Bei three days later.
Liu Bei had been staying in Jiangzhou City, the capital of Ba County for several months. Someone had advised him to return to Chengdu, but he did not agree.
Before Jiangdong disrupted the Jingman people and intervened in Jiaozhou, Liu Bei immediately brought tens of thousands of troops from Hanzhong to march south, passed through Brazilian county and directly stationed troops between the Xiajiang River, as a deterrent to Wuhou. After that, the two families decided to win and lose in Jiaozhou. Wuhou took the initiative to stop the troops, while Liu Bei was still stationed in Jiangzhou.
Many people think that Duke Xuande's move is a bit unfathomable. But Liu Bei himself understands that he was just really disappointed with the Sun-Liu Alliance. In addition, he did not want to return to Chengdu for a while, because when he arrived in Chengdu, he could not avoid Mrs. Sun.
Previously, Mrs. Sun resolutely broke away from the control of her husband's family and protected A Dou on the Sun's warship, which made Liu Bei very happy for a while. But Mrs. Sun's brother, the blue-eyed man with long and short tops, still challenged Liu Bei's patience limit again and again. Under this circumstance, Mrs. Sun's child...
Before that child was born, he became a tool between the Sun and Liu families, like his mother!
Liu Bei was tired of this situation.
Two months ago, he even secretly discussed with Pang Tong whether his side had advanced eastward along the Yangtze River, so he simply defeated Jiangdong in one fell swoop and then turned around to compete with the Cao family in the north and south. Although Pang Tong firmly believed that it was extremely difficult to do so, Liu Bei still asked Pang Tong to gather capable people and make some pre-planning plans.
With such a plan, Liu Bei was even more reluctant to see Mrs. Sun. He felt that he might as well stay in Ba County for a while. After all, Sun Quan was troubled by the matter, so his family did not return to Chengdu because of this. If Mrs. Sun wanted to blame her, she would blame her brother.
A while later, I thought that Cao Cao should have taken some measures as expected, so he turned to Hanzhong and rushed to the ceremony that had been preparing for a long time.
On this day, Liu Bei and his close ministers were on a voyage in the mountains north of Jiangzhou. From a bird's eye view, they could see the canal flowing windingly and flowing south into the river. The mountains were towering and complementing the river. Everyone was talking about praise, and a urgent report was delivered.
The person who rushed over with a hurry to report was Fa Zheng, who had stepped down as the prefect of Shu County not long ago.
Of course, all the close ministers around Xuande Gong knew that Fa Xiaozhi was valued as before, and only needed a suitable opportunity to take him to a more important position soon.
"Lord!" Fa Zheng bowed from afar, then quickly stepped up and opened the file in his hand.
The wind in the upper part was strong, and the file was rolling and rolling. Liu Bei looked at two lines and felt indescribable anxiety. He shouted: "Let's go to the woods. Xiaozhi, come with me, come and recite!"
"yes!"
Fa Zheng followed Liu Bei to the shade of the tree, and then recited: "I have been miserable because of my lack of virtue. I am in the Western Land and moved to Tang Wei. At this time, if there is a dew, there will be no sacrifices in the ancestral temples and no position in the country..."
In the aloud of Fazheng's speech, Liu Bei occasionally sneered twice and occasionally shook his head.
Unlike what the outside world thinks, Liu Bei actually admires Cao Cao very much. Not only because Cao Cao's talent is far above everyone else, but also because Cao Cao dares to be the first in the world, dares to think about what others dare not think about, and what others dare not do. But Liu Bei also hated Cao Cao, not only because Cao Cao was his enemy, and the two sides have formed countless enemies in the wars over the years; but also because Cao Cao had such talent, he used it to disrupt the Han Dynasty, harming the people, and destroying this already shaky world.
