But this is not a surprise. After all, every family in the court has some room for compromise, but the Sima family does not. If Qin Liang loses, he will have to run away.
Qin Liang learned the news very quickly. It was not reported by his subordinates. Pan Zhong, who was responsible for occupying the Taifu Mansion, and Yin Ci, who was investigating the Sima family, did not have time to discover it.
The person who revealed the situation was Jia Chong. The person who praised Qin Liang as the most loyal minister of the Wei Kingdom earlier at the gate of Xuanyang was Jia Chong.
There were many people at the gate of the city, and Jia Chong didn't want to talk in public; he found Qin Liang after entering the city and told the matter. Jia Chong was originally an official of Sima Shi, and he probably contributed a lot to Sima Shi.
, this will make you have a strong desire to survive.
Qin Liang responded quickly, wrote several letters, and sent them all by horse.
One direction is toward Guanzhong in the west. Notify Xiahou Xuan and Guo Huai and send people to intercept and investigate.
The other direction was Qingxu, who asked Jiang Ji to report to his fellow villager Hu Zhi. At the same time, he notified Linghu Yu and issued a decree to the local magistrate of Yanzhou.
There is also Ma Long's army under Linghu Yu in Gaoguan (Hulao Pass), so Sima Shi and others are more likely to cross the Yellow River, take Hanoi County to Jizhou Qingzhou, and then take Xuzhou to enter Wu. Or take Yongliang and enter from Shu Road.
Shu.
It is unlikely to enter Wu through Jingzhou, because there are still troops of King Qin along the Yishui River in the south; many cities such as Xiangcheng on the Ru River have also been occupied by King Qin's army. However, Qin Liang still gave Wang Chang and Sun
A letter was sent as a gift.
Sima Shi and Sima Zhao could only go to Wu and Shu, but there was nowhere else to go.
This morning, the battle had not yet been decided. Qin Liang could not stop them from escaping in advance, so now he could only try his best to capture them.
However, the huge threat of the Sima clan at the beginning was mainly because Sima Yi had control of the court. Now that they were defeated, they were like a lost dog. Even if two people escaped, the impact was not that great, just like the corrupt officials who fled to the Mi Emperor. For
For such a wealthy family, managing life is the most important thing.
Qin Liang had just entered the city not long ago, and he hadn't taken off his armor yet, so he planned to go to the Taifu Mansion first.
The Tutor's Mansion is located southeast of the palace.
When passing by Sima Gate at the south gate of the palace, Qin Liang met another group of ministers who had arrived outside the palace gate. Jiang Ji and others thought that Qin Liang was going to face the emperor and wanted to follow him into the palace.
Qin Liang turned his head and glanced at the palace to the north. He didn't want to rush to the palace. However, it seemed too arrogant to lead the troops to meet the emperor. After all, someone had just praised him as a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty.
So he made an excuse: "I don't dare to disturb Your Majesty easily. I will wait until my grandfather arrives in Luoyang, and then we can report to Your Majesty together."
At this time, Qin Liang's eyes swept over the faces of Gao Rou, Jiang Ji and other senior ministers. Seeing that they still had worried looks on their faces, Qin Liang said: "Don't worry, gentlemen, we are all people who abide by the rules. The culprits are those who break the rules."
It's the Sima clan, most of the princes are just being coerced."
Gao Rou immediately said: "That's true. They conspired beforehand, and no one in the court knew about it."
Qin Liang nodded and said: "That's why my grandfather and I are going to raise troops to serve the king. Please think about it carefully, if everyone does not abide by the rules, if they cannot afford to lose, they will be defeated, attack Simamen, seize the arsenal, and kill people wantonly, then we, the Wei Dynasty, will
Is there any way to maintain it? Is everyone still safe?"
The ministers discussed again and nodded in agreement.
Gao Rou was leaning toward Sima Yi before, but he should agree with Qin Liang's reasoning, because he always wanted to include the school affairs office into the bureaucracy. Gao Rou said: "Although General Qin is young, he understands things very well."
.”
Seeing that everyone wanted to maintain the system and safeguard their vested interests, Qin Liang said a few more words: "We are officials in the same dynasty, so we must maintain some rules together. It's not enough to just compete with others. Sima Yi's army is not good.
You broke the rules; after Cao Zhaobo came back, Sima Yi broke his promise and vowed again and killed his whole family! With such a way of doing things, what kind of official position will everyone have in the future? If you don't pay attention, your whole family will be killed."
The princes immediately said, "The general is the loyal minister who protects the court." "General Qin is right."
Qin Liang bowed his head and said: "As soon as your highness and the royal governors arrive, everyone will discuss it together, hoping that the matter will be over soon and the court can get back on track. Getting rid of the black sheep will be good for the court and everyone! Only punish the true ones.
The guilty person will not be implicated too much, so everyone can rest assured."
Jiang Ji also said hurriedly: "General Qin is a national scholar."
Qin Liang smiled and said: "Don't take it seriously, I'll take my leave first. If anything happens in the future, we will discuss it together."
Everyone bowed and said goodbye.
Qin Liang then got on his horse and walked east, directly to the Taifu Mansion.
He has passed by the door of this house many times, but never entered.
When he arrived outside the door, he saw some people tied behind their backs and being escorted out from the corner gate. Qin Liang looked up and saw that the watchtower in front of him and the corner tower in the distance had been occupied by Pan Zhong's soldiers, and there were fully armed soldiers standing on them.
.
After looking at the door of the mansion for a while, Qin Liang couldn't help but smile a little.
"General Qin!" "Meet the lord." Pan Zhong and other generals greeted him outside.
Qin Liang returned the salute with his hand, and then took Rao Dashan and other soldiers and strode in from the gate.
The mansion is very large, with vaguely visible pavilions and pavilions, and there should be multiple courtyards. But it doesn't look as beautiful as the General's Palace. At least the front courtyard lacks some decorations like rockery, pools and flowers.
Qin Liang walked in here in person, took another look at the mansion on the high platform, and gradually breathed a sigh of relief. It was as if a big stone that had been weighing on his heart for many years had finally been let go.
There was no wind in the sky, and the westward sun shone through the clouds, making people feel a little lazy. The feeling of victory had been released on the battlefield. At this moment, Qin Liang felt relaxed and a little sleepy.
Pan Zhong followed and said: "Sima Yi is in the inner house."
Qin Liang nodded and said, "Ask someone to take me to see you. You can take care of your own business."
Pan Zhong said: "Here."
Pan Zhong was the captain of the first Lujiang garrison unit. Qin Liang asked him specifically that he had nothing to do with Pan Feng and had never known Pan Feng. Later, Qin Liang realized that the general who was killed by Hua Xiong on the scene was
Pan Feng may not be a real person.
Qin Liang and others arrived at Sima Yi's inner house and walked along the corridor. A soldier opened a door, cupped his fists and said, "General, he is inside!"
So Qin Liang entered the room and saw Sima Yi sitting alone on a wooden cart with wheels.
Sima Yi's eyes were still sharp, and he immediately raised his head and stared at Qin Liang. Compared with before, his eyes seemed to have no change, and there was a little more hatred and hostility in his eyes.
But Qin Liang found that the great feeling of oppression before was gone. At this moment, he was stared at by Sima Yi again. He didn't feel big, and he could no longer find the original illusion of being stripped naked.
Perhaps what is intimidating is not just the momentum or gaze of others, but the aura brought by strength.
Or maybe many things are caused by your own psychology. Only when you have fear and fear in your heart will you feel pressure. On the spiritual level, people's enemy is ultimately themselves.
The two of them looked at each other in silence for a while from a distance, without speaking or being polite.
Sima Yi looked much older, so he finally spoke first: "I want to meet Wang Yanyun."
There was no emotion in his tone, neither a condescending command nor a plea.
Qin Liang thought for a while, nodded and said: "When the King Commander arrives in Luoyang, I should be able to see you."
Of course, to kill Sima Yi, one must go through judicial channels, first convict him, and then kill him justifiably. Sima Yi killed the Cao Shuang clan, and he was also a court lieutenant. There is no need to frame him with any excuses. If he is brought to trial for what he has done, it will be enough to punish the three clans.
There were also his private soldiers who went to annihilate Cao Shuang's wives and concubines. Cao Shuang's wife was from the clan of the Han Dynasty, and his concubines were the concubines of the late emperor. They were all noble ladies. They destroyed those private soldiers and sacrificed them to Cao Shuang's wives and concubines, and eradicated them all. The royal family and nobles in the imperial court will definitely applaud and applaud.
So there is still time, Sima Yi should be able to wait until Wang Ling.
But what Sima Yi meant was that Qin Liang was a junior and he was only willing to talk to Wang Ling?
Qin Liang didn't bother to care about it. Killing the Sima clan was the result he wanted most, and nothing else really mattered.
Sima Yi observed Qin Liang carefully, and he finally said: "I told you to seize the opportunity, otherwise the result would never be like this."
When Qin Liang heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said in a casual tone: "I'm not Cao Zhaobo, I'm just a county guard, what else can I do? Why don't you wait until the master is ready and I will come over to deliver the body, is that okay?" "
Sima Yi looked complicated and stopped talking.
Qin Liang stood for a moment, not wanting to do any false etiquette, turned around and left without looking back.
Just as he walked back to the corridor, Qin Liang suddenly stopped again. He spotted a man and woman at the door of a wing. The girl among them was very familiar.
However, Qin Liang glanced at the long-faced young man in his teenage years next to him, and immediately realized that this girl was not Zhuge Shu, but Zhuge Shu's sister.
The man next to him is probably Sima Yi.
Qin Liang had never met the couple before, but he had heard that Zhuge Dan, the governor of Yangzhou, made several bets that his eldest daughter would marry Sima Mian.
But the eldest daughter Zhuge looked so much like her younger sister that she must have been born to the same parents.
Qin Liang stood there and took a closer look and found that there were indeed some differences between the two sisters, especially in temperament.
Zhuge was more generous than his sister, and she even took the initiative to bow to Qin Liang. But Qin Liang did not return the bow, because Sima Mian stood still and looked very unkind.
Zhuge said: "When my sister returns to her parents' home, she often mentions General Qin. General Qin is indeed brave and good at fighting."
"Humph!" Sima Min heard this and made a sound, then cursed in a low voice, "You are just taking advantage of others' danger."
Sure enough, as the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. This teenage son has an even more arrogant attitude than Sima Yi!
