Taichang Yangdan definitely replied to Xunxu. Lv Xun, a minister in the Prime Minister's Mansion, went to Situ's Mansion that morning, which is the residence located on the southeast side of the palace.
Gao Rou, who was in his seventies, was still not confused. As soon as he heard what Lu Xun said, he understood why the Prime Minister's Office chose Lu Xun as the envoy. It was probably because of Yuan Shao's origins. But this was just a symbol. In fact, the relationship between them was
There is no way to reminisce about the past.
Lu Xun is a junior. When his father was still working for Yuan Shao, he was still young and had no experience. Moreover, the relationship between Gao Rou and Yuan Shao was only because his cousin Gao Gan was Yuan Shao's nephew and did not directly work for Yuan Shao;
Later, Gao Gan rebelled, and Gao Rou was almost killed by Cao Cao!
So Lu Xun just exchanged a few words and quickly finished talking about the matter. Gao Rou almost didn't hesitate and agreed immediately. After hearing this, Lu Xun happily resigned and went back to resume his duties.
Gao Rou walked out of the door and retreated into the inner room. His son Gao Xun, who was still an official in the Situ Mansion, immediately followed him in and said in a deep voice: "Yang is the wife of Master Sima. My uncle once had good relations with the Sima family.
Will it be detrimental to your reputation if you come forward to do such a thing?"
The last time Qin Zhongming was crowned king, it was Gao Ziyu who tried his best to persuade Gao Rou to take the initiative. Now Ziyu actually said that this kind of thing is bad for reputation? Young people still can't see clearly sometimes.
Gao Rou then asked: "Is Sima Yi my relative and elder?" Ziyu shook his head. Gao Rou asked again: "Am I an official of the Sima family's Taifu Mansion?" Ziyu continued to shake his head in confusion.
"What's that? Why can't I take charge of this matter?" Gao Rou asked consciously and clearly.
Ziyu still didn't understand, and said: "I thought that this kind of thing could be done by just anyone."
Your Majesty is enough, so there is no need for my uncle to come forward. It’s not a big deal in the first place, so it doesn’t matter if my uncle declines.” He paused for a moment and whispered, “When I dealt with Cao Shuang, my uncle helped Sima Yi.”
Gao Rou glanced at him: "Do you think Yangzhou raised troops to avenge Cao Shuang? Although there is some relationship between the two, for example, Linghuyu served as Cao Shuang's long history and was afraid of being implicated, but the purpose is completely different." Jian Ziyu.
Looking thoughtful, Gao Rou continued, "The Sima family has been in a high position for many years, and has been in power for several years. It has made friends with many people and worked for them. Have you not done anything for Master Sima?"
What happened? But during the competition between Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, we were on the side of the Sima family after all. So at this critical moment, the Prime Minister's Office sent Lu Xun, firstly to show his goodwill and secondly to test, how can we politely refuse?"
Ziyu suddenly understood and whispered: "In an emergency, uncle means that the white pheasant appears in this world?"
Gao Rou nodded and sighed: "I originally thought that after the Yangzhou army entered Luo, the Gao family would cease to exist. I didn't expect that I could still be the third prince until now. I have to be a little self-aware! The King of Jin is very rule-abiding and pays attention to everything.
He has real evidence and is not a cruel person, so at least the consequences for everyone will not be very bad."
If it were a cruel person, he would naturally kill more people. However, after the Sima family was destroyed, they were completely eliminated. Those who leaned towards the Sima family only wanted to protect themselves; just like the plot to kill later, in
Those who raised troops in Youzhou were not members of the Sima family.
Ziyu also sighed with emotion: "I never thought that the King of Jin would rise to power so quickly. In just over ten years, he would have all the power in the country. But no matter who controls the army,
Is it possible to gain power by defeating an invincible opponent all over the world? It’s not that there are no people who are dissatisfied with the King of Jin, it’s just that Guanqiu Jian and other things are in front of him, so no one dares to seek death."
There were no outsiders in the inner room. When the words came to this, Gao Rou simply said a few more words: "If there were no other Cao Cao and Xia Hou, would the imperial court allow such a person to conquer the world? People like Sima Zhongda are not allowed to exist! Therefore, this is also the general trend. So many people originally joined the Sima family because they thought that the Sima family was that family, but they really didn’t expect that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole behind them!"
Ziyu said: "My uncle has been through several dynasties, and why do you think the Wei family has reached a point where no one can use it?"
Gao Rou thought for a while and said softly: "Since King Wei, the Wei family has always wanted to centralize power. Until Cao Shuang, he wanted to centralize power. At first, the Cao and Xiahou families were in charge of the army and the gentry and powerful families were brought into power. But there were only two families of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. , the younger generations cannot choose so many talents, and Emperor Wen, because of the fight for the crown prince, does not trust the close clan, so there are fewer people to choose from; the external Wu and Shu are always threatening, and the military power has to be annexed by the gentry and powerful families. "
He continued, "Cao Shuang's concentration of power caused dissatisfaction among the people. By the time Cao Shuang was defeated by Sima Yi, the situation was almost helpless. Then there was another Yangzhou uprising, and foreign soldiers directly led the army into Luoyang! This is the situation. It really collapsed completely, and the military power of the imperial court would of course fall into the hands of the three Yangzhou generals. The three families of Qin, Wang, and Linghu were in-laws. Originally, the Wang family was the strongest, but Qin Zhongming made the greatest contribution in the battle between Qin and Wang. Wang Yanyun died, and Wang Gongyuan died. He was completely unable to cope with the internal and external situation, so Qin Zhongming had the opportunity to continue to defeat the invincible opponents in the world.
It will gradually establish its position."
Ziyu had a look of realization on his face, as if he wanted to say, no wonder Cao Shuang was so powerful back then, but his uncle insisted on siding with the Sima family!
Gao Rou couldn't say anything else. At that time, in addition to having different political views, he really didn't think highly of Cao Shuang. No one was willing to stand with someone who was going to lose and be buried. Cao Shuang was trying to win over people everywhere, but he couldn't win over many. He obviously saw the situation clearly. There are a lot of people. It’s just that everyone has seen the beginning, but not many people can guess the ending! The same is true for Gao Rou.
But now, if you still can't see the situation clearly, you shouldn't do it. Now that Qin Zhongming is taking the initiative to show his kindness, if Gao Rou doesn't appreciate it, it will be like giving him a toast instead of eating it and getting a fine drink! Besides, Gao Rou had dealt with Qin Liang a long time ago and felt that This person is actually pretty good.
Gao Rou quickly summoned some court officials in Situ's Mansion and invited Taichang Yangdan to come and establish the documents. The whole process was not attended by Yang Huiyu. In fact, it was just a formality, because Lu Xun said that the Yang family's side I agreed first.
...Two things that happened recently also aroused Qin Lang's idea. White pheasants appeared in Pingyang County. Sima's wife divorced and she was named the wife of the King of Jin. Qin Lang mentioned it when he arrived at the princess's house in Jinxiang and wanted to persuade him. younger sister.
Qin Lang had just been promoted to the rank of Sili Xiaowei, and his official position had been reduced from Jiuqing to Bi Liangshi. But of course Qin Lang didn't care about this difference. He knew that it was his clan brother who wanted to reuse him to help stabilize the situation at a critical moment. .Because the position of Sili Xiaowei is more important, his power is even greater!
When he talked about the Yang family, he thought that Qin Liang was trying to get closer to the Yang family and the Xin family. Unexpectedly, He Jun said: "Serving in Xiahou Xuan Mansion
I met Yang Huiyu in court, and she was very beautiful. Maybe the King of Jin just fell in love with her beauty."
Qin Lang said in astonishment: "Yang has already married Master Sima, and no matter how beautiful she is, she is already over thirty years old. If Zhongming values beauty, why doesn't he find a beautiful girl who is still in her teens?"
Princess Jinxiang, who was about to speak, fell silent immediately after hearing this. He Jun glanced at Princess Jinxiang slightly.
But Qin Lang didn't pay attention to He Jun's opinions at all. He just glanced at him casually and felt that people who indulge in sex all day long would naturally think that others are the same as him.
Qin Lang continued to say to his sister: "Because of my relationship with my mother, King Pei, my sister will definitely be fine. I will intercede in front of Zhongming in the future, and maybe I can get preferential treatment in the title."
Princess Jinxiang finally said: "It all depends on the eldest brother to intercede in front of King Jin."
Qin Lang said confidently: "Don't worry, Zhong Ming will be more considerate of my kindness."
Princess Jinxiang asked softly: "What does the eldest brother mean? That white pheasant refers to the emergence of virtuous people in the world?"
Qin Lang said: "This is exactly what I mean. The general trend is the general trend, and God has already given signs!"
Princess Jinxiang sighed softly and said quietly: "Brother, there is no need to persuade me. I have already understood that when Sima Yi massacred Cao Zhaobo and others, the Cao family was no longer in power. It is better for Qin Zhongming to gain power than the Sima family."
Qin Lang nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, it is better than watching the enemy who killed your husband become the emperor." He turned to look at He Jun again, "The revenge of killing my father! He also forced Uncle He Ping to offend a large number of families, humiliating him first and then killing him.
.”
Suddenly I heard Lu's voice murmuring: "Qin Zhongming is so young, he is going to become the emperor..."
Only when she said this did she come back to her senses, hurriedly shut up, and her face turned red.
Qin Lang said: "What does age have to do with it? It should be like this! When the Yangzhou army invaded Luoyang, what happened to other families? In the battle of King Qin, a small number defeated a large number, and the enemy was outnumbered. It all depended on our Zhongming's military skills.
Without Zhongming, the Wang family would have been completely killed by Sima Yi!"
He became excited and said: "I heard that Wang Guang wanted to surrender to Sima Yi at that time, hoping for the tolerance of the Sima family. I guess if it weren't for Zhong Ming, Wang Yanyun wouldn't even raise an army, and the whole family would die in a coward! Later Zhong Ming
He also put down the Youzhou rebellion internally and preserved the power of the three families; externally, he captured Hanzhong, destroyed the Shu Han, and eliminated the great troubles of the Wei State. His achievements were great and powerful, and he shocked the world. To this day, those who are virtuous live here, which is in compliance with the destiny of heaven.
.”
Lu didn't mean to deny Qin Lang's remarks at all, she just lowered her eyes and nodded.
Only then did Qin Lang come back to his senses, and finally remembered that Lu and Zhong Ming had known each other for a long time, and there were some rumors. So what Lu meant was not that Qin Liang was young and lacked prestige, but a complicated sense of loss? Qin Lang's eyes
Glancing over Ms. Lu's body, she could only see her thin figure and appearance, and she didn't look like a queen.
Qin Lang ignored Lu and observed his sister's expression, reminding him: "I can go to Jin Palace to walk around recently. It is not a bad thing to let Zhongming know my attitude towards King Pei in advance."
Princess Jinxiang's posture was dignified and she said with a serious expression: "I understand."
He Jun glanced at Princess Jinxiang again. He probably could only rely on his mother and his uncle Qin Lang. It turned out that Zhongming was his classmate in Taixue, but he failed to establish a friendship.
If you have a grudge against someone, who can you blame?
