Chapter 82 Rebellion
Chang'an, Guofu.
A few days ago, Li Jue gave Guo Si a group of dancing girls from the Western Regions. This was not a big deal at first, but Guo Si also thought it was quite good. Each of these dancing girls from the Western Regions was white and beautiful, very different from the women from the Central Plains. It was a good idea to take them home and watch them every day.
A kind of enjoyment, but it made Guo Si's wife very uncomfortable.
Li Jue's wife was right. Guo Si's wife was jealous. Li Jue gave Guo Si these dancers. His original intention was to win over Guo Si and make the relationship between the two more stable. The two of them are now Western
The person with the highest military power in the Liang army, as long as the two of them join forces, there will be no chaos in Guanzhong.
Fan Chou and Zhang Ji are now advancing on Chen Mo. According to Li Jue's plan, he is planning to wait for another one or two months before launching a full-scale attack on Chen Mo. He gave the dancing girl that his son brought back two days ago to Guo Si.
, Li Jue thought it was good, and his son had become sensible. However, this incident satisfied Guo Si, but made his wife hate him.
The moment the dancing girl entered the house, Guo Si's wife hated Li Jue and has been looking for opportunities to instigate Guo Si to turn against Li Jue these days.
"Husband, please be careful. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Now that my husband and Li Zhiran are in charge of the government, is Li Zhiran really willing to share this world with her husband?" The wind on my pillow never stopped for a moment.
Guo Bang got up from the couch a little irritably and said, "Madam, you are worrying too much. How can Zhiran and I harm each other after we have been friends for more than ten years?"
"My husband has no such intention, but what does Li Jue think? How could your husband know?" Guo Si's wife also got up from the couch and said in a deep voice: "I am just telling you to be careful. Could it be that I can also harm you?
?”
As he spoke, he started to cry.
Guo Bang sat down a little irritably, put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "As a husband, I naturally know that Madam has no intention of harming me. It's just that Madam doesn't understand this important military matter."
"I don't understand this important military matter, but I know that people's hearts are unpredictable, and I didn't let my husband turn against General Li. It's just that my husband is in a high position, so he should be a little wary. You and I have been married for many years, can I still harm my husband?"
Can’t do it?”
"I know Madam is doing it for my own good." Guo Si nodded, feeling a little softer in his heart. My Madam followed him when he was a horse thief in his early years. No matter poor or rich, we have never given up on each other. Even though he is a little old and wan now,
, but Guo Si's feelings for his wife were somewhat awe-inspiring, and when he saw his wife like this, he naturally felt a little guilty in his heart.
"It's good that your husband understands. I just hope that your husband will pay more attention to everything." Mrs. Guo Si sobbed.
"Well, it's late at night, let's go to sleep." Guo Bang nodded and lay down again hugging his wife.
…
In the next few days, Chang'an City was calm, Guo Si was still the same, and his relationship with Li Jue was not bad.
At Li Jue's residence, Li Shi came to his mother and said, "Mom, the strategy you mentioned really works? The dancer has been sent to Guo Si's residence for a long time, why is there no movement?"
"The changes in people's hearts are invisible." Li Shi's mother said with a smile. Based on her understanding of the Guo Bang woman, I am afraid that the wind has started to blow on my pillow a long time ago. Then, it is time for me to exert my own strength: "
My son, go and invite the witch here, and remember, be polite."
Unlike Guo Si, Li Jue did not pay so much attention to his wife's words. On the contrary, Li Jue would most likely believe what these witches said. Li Jue's wife naturally did not like to see these witches, but it did not prevent the two parties from joining forces to do something.
Soon, a dignified and beautiful witch came in under the leadership of Li Shi and saluted Li Jue's wife: "I have met Madam."
"Please get up quickly, no need to be polite!" Li Jue's wife smiled and stretched out her hand to help the witch up.
"I wonder why Madam is looking for me?" Although the witch was respectful to Li Jue's wife, it was mostly superficial.
"I have heard some bad news recently. Someone is trying to assassinate my husband. I have been feeling uneasy these past few days. Therefore, I invite you to come and do some divination to see if it is good or bad." Li Jue's wife asked someone to send it to her.
After eating fruits and vegetables, he turned away from everyone, looked at the witch and said in a deep voice.
"Oh?" The witch's eyebrows twitched and she frowned, "How did Madam know that?"
"There was a maid in the Guo Mansion who once served me, but was later given to Guo Si by her husband." Li Jue's wife frowned and said, "Recently the maid came to see me, and when it came to this matter, Mrs. Guo's wife seemed to be quite dissatisfied with her husband.
, I'm worried...so I invite you to come and have a divination."
When the witch heard this, her face became serious, she took out a tortoise shell and a few coins from her arms and put them in.
Mrs. Li Jue looked at the other party's calculations. In fact, she was different from Li Jue. Although Mrs. Li Jue also felt that the divination had some truth, how many Taoist practices could a little girl of about twenty years old have? Mostly she was deceived by words. She said these words,
Not really wanting to test, but telling the other party the news.
If this girl is a liar, then it will be easier for Li Jue to believe the news through her. As for bribery... Mrs. Li Jue has never thought about it. This witch is deeply trusted by Li Jue. What does Li Jue want?
Jue won't give it? If he bribes him, he will be easily taken advantage of by this little girl. If he files a complaint with Li Jue, he will have a hard time.
The witch calculated several times, frowned and said: "Madam, this hexagram is chaotic and unclear. I came here in a hurry and did not bring the magic weapon with me. This matter is very important. Please allow me to go back and use the magic weapon to calculate it a few more times."
"This matter is of great importance, so we must calculate it carefully!" Li Jue's wife stood up and saluted the witch.
"Don't worry, madam." The witch bowed to Li Jue's wife and left in a hurry.
Watching the witch leave in a hurry, a sneer gradually appeared on Li Jue's wife's face. The little girl's skills are still too shallow, so she can't wait to ask for credit?
"Mom? How's it going?" Li Shi saw the witch leaving and quickly ran to his mother to ask.
"Don't worry, there will be results soon." Mrs. Li Jue said to Li Shi with a smile.
If Guo Si can be killed, Li Jue can control the court alone, which is also a good thing for the Li family.
On the other side, the witch said goodbye to Li Jue's wife and walked out. Li Jue happened to be coming back from the court. When he saw the witch walking in a hurry, he grabbed her and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
As he spoke, his hands began to roam around the witch's body a little dishonestly.
"General, don't worry!" The witch quickly held down Li Jue's hand and said, "I suddenly felt a heartbeat down below. There is a change in the sky. It should be caused by the general. I need to make a good calculation."
"Oh?" When Li Jue heard this, his expression became serious and he said in a deep voice, "I'll go with you."
Immediately, he left with the witch and went to her residence to get the treasure. He also invited several Taoist priests who were quite trusted by Li Jue. They jointly set up the altar and began to make calculations.
It was the first time that Li Jue saw these people so solemn, and he was a little nervous.
A full hour later, the Taoist priest who led him suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.
"Master, why is this happening!?" Li Jue was shocked when he saw this and asked quickly.
"The secret of heaven has been touched!" the Taoist priest said with a pale face.
"Master, please tell me!" Li Jue asked hurriedly when he saw the Taoist priest's appearance. The witch and others also looked solemn.
"This matter really belongs to the general, and it is a murder!" The Taoist looked at Li Jue and said in a deep voice.
"Kill...Kill!?" Li Jue looked at the Taoist priest in disbelief.
"Yes, someone wants to assassinate the general!" The Taoist priest said with a depressed look: "General, please be careful during this time."
"Master, do you know who harmed me?" Li Jue asked.
"Based on the hexagrams, this person should be nearby, and he should be in a high position, with a white tiger beside him. At that time, he was in charge of killing like a general, so he should be a general." Taoist Su Rong said.
In a high position, or as a general?
Li Jue thought of Guo Bang for a moment, and frowned slightly: "Master, is it accurate?"
"General, how dare we joke with the general about such a thing?" the Taoist said solemnly.
Li Jue nodded: "Don't get angry about big things, but this matter is of great importance and you have to be careful. Master, please go back and rest first, I will handle the matter."
Everyone nodded and bowed to leave.
In the next few days, Li Jue was a little preoccupied. When he went to court every day and looked at Guo Si, he felt that whether Guo Si was talking to him or looking at him, he looked suspicious. Not only Guo Si, but also everyone in the court.
General, even Li Jue has doubts in his eyes at this moment.
When Li Jue came back from court that day, he was about to have dinner, but Guo Si sent someone to bring him a box of wine and food.
"What's wrong, husband?" His wife, who was putting the food and wine in the box on the table, asked in confusion when she saw Li Jue staring at the food and wine.
"Madam, do you think some of these food and drinks will be poisoned?" Li Jue frowned.
"Husband, you are worrying too much." The wife smiled and shook her head and said, "General Guo would not be so unwise even if he has harmful intentions for his husband, right?"
"Who can say for sure?" Li Jue frowned.
Li Jue's wife shook her head and packed some of her own food to be sent to the Guo Mansion.
"To ensure safety, let others eat it." Li Jue said seriously. You still have to be careful about this matter.
"The husband makes the decision." Li Jue's wife shook her head, but she was secretly happy in her heart. It seemed that the witch really didn't have much practice, and her husband really believed it.
On the other side, after receiving Li Jue's return gift, Guo Si hesitated a little, looked at his wife and said, "Madam, do you think there will be no problem with the food and wine?"
Guo Si's wife shook her head, looked at the dishes on the table and pointed at one of them and said, "Husband, why are these beans black? Could they be poisonous?"
Guo Bang didn't recognize this thing either. It was just a black thing, which really reminded people of poison, and his complexion suddenly became unpleasant.
In the next few days, both Li and Guo began to become suspicious and suspicious of each other. Li Jue would do divination every time he went to see Guo Si, while Guo Si was also cautious.
A few days later, Li Jue hosted a banquet for Guo Si. Guo Si went to the banquet and halfway through the meal, he suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain. He thought Li Jue had poisoned him, so he quickly got up and left with the excuse of going to the toilet. After swallowing fecal juice to induce vomiting, he became more determined.
