"What a man does not dare to do is a fool's fault."
No matter how hard you try, you may not be able to change Huang Wan's current precarious situation. Even if the emperor allows Huangmen's minister Lai Min and the palace's Yulin Lang Wu Yinan to go to Changsha to be responsible for liaison with the rebellious Wuxi barbarians, the imperial court
There were still rumors about the impeachment of Jingzhou scholars, such as Yilang Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and others, and they suffered a lot of groundless criticism.
"The Wuxi barbarians rebelled, and we suffered unreasonable disasters first. What's the reason? Back then, the Qiang and Di in Liangzhou were in chaos, but they didn't see any attempt to drive out all the Liangzhou people in the court!" After the Chang Dynasty ended, Kuai Liang said angrily
said.
"In troubled times, it's better to speak cautiously." His younger brother Kuai Yue sighed and looked around cautiously. After making sure that there was no one else around, he and Kuai Liang walked quickly on the palace road: "No one doubts that I am waiting for Jing Xiang to be powerful.
Have something to do with the Wuxi barbarians, or instigate them to start an army and rebel... but someone wants to deal with us at this moment, or even deal with Huang Situ."
"I've been implicated this time." Kuai Liang was still a little annoyed. Even though he was the governor of Xiangyang, the county governor had to show some courtesy to him. Once he entered the court, he really understood what it means to speak lightly. As Jing Jing
The representative figure of the Xiangshi people, Situ Huang Wan, one of the three princes, has not given them any more substantial benefits since he has surrendered to Jingzhou for so long. Regardless of whether Huang Wan is willing or powerless, under the current situation, the other party
None of them had the ability to continue to rely on: "I thought that Huang Gong prevented the scholar Sun Junrong from resurrecting, and the disputes in the court came to an end. Unexpectedly, the winner was not decided, and a difficult opponent was ushered in."
"Rival?" Kuai Yue was the most strategist among the two brothers. When General He Jin heard about his name, he even appointed him as Dong Cao. Because he had been closely involved in the power center of the imperial court, Kuai Yue was far away at this time.
He thought more clearly than Kuai Liang: "How can we avoid this storm now? Huang Gong sent Lai Min to see Wuxi Man without informing us in advance. It can be seen that in his heart he only pretended to be Jiang Xia."
Several families...we are not as famous as Mr. Pang, nor as well-established as Mr. Chengyan, so we should plan our retreat as early as possible."
At this time, the two brothers had already walked to the waiting carriage and horses, preparing to leave the palace. The cold dew in the morning made his clothes wet and heavy. At that moment, he did not even bother to get on the carriage and asked: "Where is the retreat?
"
Kuai Yue reached out and touched the horse that was pulling the cart in front of him. The wet mane was stuck tightly to the horse's neck. This horse was brought from Jingzhou and had been domesticated in Jingzhou for several years. It used to gallop around on the battlefield.
The majesty of the carriage has long since faded. In a place like Jingzhou where there is a shortage of horses, having a carriage is equivalent to a symbol of status. In Chang'an, where the powerful gather, all aspects of the carriage have been artificially improved: "At the end of the year, the states merged to trade with each other, and the
It will be easy to get a group of good horses."
"Bingzhou Mutual Market?" Kuai Liang immediately thought: "You mean Bingzhou Liu Gong? But we have never had any contact with him, how could he let us 'exchange'?"
"There is more than one Liu Gong in Bingzhou now." Kuai Yue's own words were not accurate enough. He added: "Isn't Liu Jingsheng in Bingzhou now? As a servant, he is dealing with matters such as the exchange of cattle and horses, etc., waiting for these matters in the court.
It's over. Once he comes back, will there be an opportunity?"
Kuai Yue did not say any more about the opportunity he mentioned. This was not because he deliberately tried to show off in front of Kuai Liang, but because even he could not guess the direction in which things would develop.
Xu Huang's troops transferred from Huainan, Jiaozhou, to Changsha to quell the rebellion had not yet arrived. Lai Min and Wu Yi were still on their way to Wuguan. The war to quell the Wuxi barbarians had not yet begun, and people in the court began to attack Huang Wan.
Get angry.
Huang Wan can be said to be upright and just throughout his life. It is difficult to find his past mistakes. The few times he was deposed were either for offending the powerful or encountering disasters. However, this time he was dismissed.
People discovered a mistake he had made. This incident had been forgotten consciously with the successful surrender of Yizhou. Now, as the power in Huang Wan's hands weakened, it was openly put on the stage.
It turned out that he was from Yizhou. Shang Shulang Zhang Su wrote a letter saying that when the imperial court sent troops south to Yizhou, Lai Min sneaked into Shu first and used the military power of the imperial court to persuade the people in Yizhou who admired the imperial court and did not want to be thieves.
People's Pictures Xianzhou County.
However, at that time, the imperial court had sent the embroidered envoys Wang Yue, Pei Jun and others to try to contact the righteous people in Shu. Although Lai Min made a lot of contributions under the banner of the imperial court, it also hindered Pei Jun to a certain extent.
What's more, Lai Min had not been appointed by the court at that time, but he promised a title without authorization, which was a serious crime! Huang Wan, who was behind Lai Min's instructions, was living in Chang'an because of his dismissal from office at the time.
Dare to interfere in state affairs without even holding a position, the act is even more serious than spying on Privy Councilor Sun Rui.
With Zhao Wen behind him, it seems that in order to support Zhang Su's words, Pei Jun, who actually followed the imperial edict to win over the people of Shu and is now an official in Jinyang, also wrote a letter to agree with it recently, revealing in detail that Lai Min lived in Liu Yan's house.
To communicate with all parties and other matters.
If Zhao Wen is regarded as a force in Yizhou, and Pei Jun is regarded as a Kansai scholar who reached an agreement with Pei Mao after the loss of scholar Sun Rui, then Wang Yue, the embroidered cloth envoy who succeeded Jia Xu shortly afterwards, his
Although the letter only proves from another perspective that the first two words are indeed true, his statement is enough to arouse people's imagination.
In this series of criticisms with solid evidence, Huang Wan, who represented the imperial court without permission and secretly promised the imperial court valuables, could no longer bear it and fell seriously ill at home.
After Huang Wan fell ill, Huang She kept running around the house anxiously. He was not Huang Wan's direct blood relative, but at this time he played a more important role in the Huang family than his own son. He was busy preparing decoctions.
, and hurriedly inquired about the news at the Chancellor's Desk, then came back and said to the old man who seemed to have drained his energy in front of the sick bed: "I heard that Your Majesty wants Mr. Ming to defend himself on this matter."
"I can't defend myself." Huang Wan waved his hand feebly, as if he had no energy to even speak.
"After we conquered Shu, didn't this matter already have your Majesty's understanding?" Huang She didn't know the details, but he was very anxious. He heard that Lai Min, who had just walked to Wuguan Road, was stopped by Tiqi.
He will be brought back to Chang'an the next day for questioning: "Now that the story is mentioned again, what do they mean? If you don't defend yourself, we will have no good plan anymore!"
