Li Yan was very angry and unwilling. He stood in the courtyard and looked at the boxes. He didn't know whether to scold Fei Yi. Wei Xing beat him up, drove them out, or welcome them in and warmly welcome them.
As the saying goes, people's hands are short and people's mouths are short. Wei Ba gave him gifts not because of feelings, but because of his work.
What could Wei Ba need him to help? Of course, it was not that Wei Ba could not do it, but that Wei Ba was unwilling to do it, so he had to deal with him.
Li Yan could only think of such a thing: the power to purge the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This is certainly not an easy task. Although Zhuge Liang has been abusing power for many years, he spared no effort to crack down on political opponents and has made a lot of enemies. However, Zhuge Liang's own morality is beyond reproach, especially in the eyes of ordinary people who have no direct conflict with him.
He is a perfect moral saint. He will be criticized in the future when he attacks him.
Wei Ba was unwilling to do it himself, probably because of this consideration. He cherished his reputation and left such dirty things to others, and kept himself out of it. Li Yan admired Wei Ba very much. When he reached this point, he could still remain calm.
Without a burning heart, he went on the battle in person and fought happily. From this we can see that Wei Ba has matured. He is not only calling the wind and rain on the battlefield, but also an experienced player in the court.
No wonder Zhuge Liang is not his opponent either. Since that is the case, how could I be his opponent? Since I refuse to retreat, I can only clear the situation and accept my fate. It should be noted that the person who can be the sword in Wei Ba's hand is not.
He is the only one, and he now refuses Fei Yi. Fei Yi can find another person by turning around, and it will not have much impact. But for him, once this opportunity is lost, it means there is no hope of making a comeback from now on.
In an instant, Li Yan thought a lot.
Fei Yi stood with a smile, not in a hurry. He knew that Li Yan had no choice. He could open the middle door to welcome guests, which means he had been waiting for this day. As for the hesitation at this moment, it was just a remnant struggle. As a member of Liu Bei
An old minister who has been in high positions since the times now has to bow to a junior. It is normal for him to feel a little unwilling to do so. At this moment, it is not good to force him. Only by letting him figure it out by himself can he do things in the future.
He came to Chang'an under the order of Wei Ba, and was only responsible for threading needles and threading. He would never do it himself. Although he is still the Grand Master of the court, he knew very well that sooner or later he would become a minister of Jin.
What's more, he was once an old official of Zhuge Liang. He had received the kindness of Zhuge Liang and could not do such a devouring thing, otherwise he would be despised for the rest of his life.
Of course, only Li Yan is the most suitable one to do this kind of thing.
Unlike him, Li Yan had no choice.
After a moment, Li Yan laughed again, never looked at the gifts again, and reached out to invite him: "Two, please sit in the hall."
Fei Yi and Wei Xing exchanged glances and walked into the hall.
Fei Yi and Li Yan talked for a long time before leaving. He visited several people one after another and then came to Peng Heng's residence. The last time he left, the capital was still in Chengdu, and it was moving the capital, and there was no such thing here.
He had to temporarily stay with his home.
Peng Heng has now become public. He no longer needs to hide his identity. He can live openly in Chang'an City, but no one dares to touch a hair. Seeing Fei Yi, he smiled, smiling with a smile on his face.
Sunlight.
"I have sent someone to investigate that matter, and it will be a result soon." Peng Heng said: "But there is one thing that is more troublesome."
"What's up?"
"The king must act according to the law and use laws to punish the prime minister, which is of course very satisfying. But there is a problem. Can you find clear evidence of the relationship between the dead soldiers and Jiang Wei? Since they are dead soldiers, they know such a task.
I'm afraid you can't get any useful information from their mouths?"
Fei Yi frowned: "Didn't you collect relevant information?"
"No." Peng Heng shook his head: "At least, there is nothing useful so far. I have no preparation for this."
Fei Yi understood. Peng Heng never thought that Wei Ba would use a formal way to deal with the Prime Minister's Mansion. He must have thought that at this point, he would do whatever he wanted. He didn't need any evidence at all, so he didn't have any in advance.
Prepare for this. Now that things are coming, he is blind.
Fei Yi was not easy to criticize Peng Heng. To be honest, he was a little surprised when he heard Wei Ba's request. But he didn't have a task like Peng Heng, so he was just surprised at that time. After the surprise, it was a kind of
Relieved, but Peng Heng faced the major difficulties of presenting evidence. At this point, he could only comfort Peng Heng. This was not Peng Heng's fault, he could only say that he was not lucky.
"The evidence can be found slowly. There are so many people involved and so many things, it is impossible to achieve it overnight." Fei Yi explained: "Especially, Jiang Wei still has 30,000 infantry and cavalry in his hands, before the army of King Jin could not arrive.
You can't force him to jump over the wall. Otherwise, once he decides to surrender to Wei, the Wei army will regain Guanzhong, which will be no blessing for anyone."
Peng Heng nodded. He understood what Fei Yi meant. The battle in Chang'an court could be slowly planned, and the bottom line was to ensure the safety of Chang'an. If the main force of the Wei army entered Guanzhong, even if Wei Ba had the strength, it would be short-term.
It is also difficult to unify the world. Wei Ba now needs to solve the war in Kanto first and solve the Prime Minister's Mansion through formal channels, rather than a clean and neat purge. It is also a delaying strategy and a pleading intention.
...
Two days later, Fei Yi made a generous speech in the court, expressing his anger at the intention of the envoy to assassinate King Wei Ba of Jin, and requested the emperor to issue an edict to thoroughly investigate relevant personnel and give King Wei Ba of Jin.
One explanation is to give the people of the world an explanation. In the name of the emperor, assassination is actually done. No one with a bottom line can accept such a thing. If it is not thoroughly investigated, it will be a humiliation in the Shu Han court.
Fei Yi was very sensible and neither blamed the emperor nor the late Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. He just made a request to make himself seem fair and did not presuppose any enemies.
Liu Chan also knew that this matter was of great importance and asked the ministers to discuss it. Because Fei Yi did not point the finger at the Prime Minister's Office, it was difficult for officials from the Prime Minister's Office to speak out against Fei Yi's proposal. They had no reason to object, otherwise, wouldn't it be
Looks guilty?
The Prime Minister's Mansion kept silent. Although they did not have a tacit understanding, their performance in the court was very consistent.
Liu Chan then appointed Li Yan and Wu Yi as the chief and deputy head. Li Yan was a powerful minister who once had three-legged rivals with Zhuge Liang and Wei Ba. In name, he would not favor the King of Jin, and Wu Yi was an old good man who would not offend anyone.
The Prime Minister's Mansion has a good relationship, so it would be best for him to balance Li Yan.
Because the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are suspicious, no one is suitable to be the person in charge of this case. What makes Jiang Wan and others even more desperate is that even without this principle of avoiding suspicion, the Prime Minister's Mansion will also
There is no way to find someone who can compete with Li Yan.
When Zhuge Liang was alive, Li Yan was not able to fight back. Zhuge Liang died and Li Yan was rekindled, and there was no opponent of him in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Upon hearing this news, Huang Yueying, who was guarding her at home, was silent for a long time.
...
In Tongguan, Jiang Wei sat on the city tower, looking at the big river rolling eastward, with a little melancholy look.
Since Fei Yi passed by Tongguan, he felt a burst of uneasiness. However, the results in the Chang'an court surprised him very much. Wei Ba actually asked Fei Yi to come forward and asked the emperor to preside over justice and file a case for investigation of the assassination, rather than
Assembling relevant personnel to directly clean up the Prime Minister's Office, this was very different from his original estimate and made him hesitate.
If the emperor issued an edict to clean up the Prime Minister's Office and remove his military power at this moment, then he would have reason to incite his soldiers to resist. Zhuge Ke was captured, Zhuge Zhan was still young, Yang Yi, Jiang Wan and others were all scholars and prime minister's department
No one is his opponent. With the troops he possesses, he is quite sure to take over Zhuge Liang's authority, control the court again, continue to occupy the right to speak morally, and nail Wei Ba to the pillar of the rebels.
In this way, as long as Guo Xiu succeeds, Wei Ba is killed and Wei Ba's power falls apart, he becomes the strongest winner. Next, he can advance or retreat. He can call on the world to serve the king and take over the power.
, annexed the State of Wei, fulfill the Prime Minister's wish to attack the Central Plains in the Northern Expedition and unify the world. Retreat, he can use the emperor to order the princes to end the battle with Wei, and then use Zhuge Jin and Sun Quan on the grounds that Zhuge Ke was captured and Zhuge Dan was killed.
Get in touch. Sun Quan was taken away by Wei Ba for most of the King of Wu. It was impossible for him to have no resentment at all. At least he could keep him neutral, unite together, and fight against Cao Wei together.
To take a step back, even if Guo Xiu fails again, he can join forces with Wei and Wu to fight against Wei Ba. Han, Wei, Jin and Wu divide the world into four parts. Guanzhong is the most favorable terrain for Yizhou to control one side.
With the resources of Liangzhou's war horses, he can control half of the country, attack or defend, and still has considerable advantages.
However, Fei Yi just asked the emperor to send someone to investigate thoroughly, and did not even specify the Prime Minister's Office. Such a big thing became a very normal case. In this case, even if he wanted to raise a coup, he probably wouldn't have it.
How many people are willing to support him.
At least not many people in the court would support him. Because he did this inadequate reason, it was like rebellion, and it was easier to confirm the crime of ill-gotten plots.
Jiang Wei was at a loss for a moment. When the Prime Minister left, he found that he didn't even have anyone to discuss. He was more like an isolated minister than the Prime Minister. At least the Prime Minister had Jiang Wan, Zhang Yi and others as his confidants, and he was the only one who was present.
Apart from his fellow townsman of ordinary officials, he could not find a like-minded person who could fight side by side. He knew very well that Jiang Wan and others would not only not support him, but would instead reject him. The reason was very simple. The Prime Minister recommended Jiang Wan as his successor.
Jiang Wan is not his opponent at all. If he wants to inherit the position of prime minister, he can only squeeze his strongest opponent aside.
There are many enemies, but only a handful of friends. The Prime Minister passed away and his wife Qiao Yue returned to her hometown. Jiang Wei felt very lonely.
