Chapter 249: The whole hall changes color and Wudang is worshiped
Seeing the young Fei Yi looking eloquent in the lobby, Sun Quan's expression turned ugly.
He originally thought that since he couldn't resist Liu Bei on the surface, he might as well use some means to make Deng Zhi, Liu Bei's envoy, embarrassed in public, which would also undermine the prestige of the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bei.
But what he didn't expect was that the game he had set was actually destroyed by this young man named Fei Yi.
Sun Quan saw that the ministers from Jiangdong could no longer use words to frustrate Fei Yi, so he wanted to stop them with his eyes.
But before he could wink, Zhang Wen, a great scholar from Jiangdong, and Fei Yi had already begun to argue about the word "Wu".
Since the Han Dynasty, dismantling words has gradually become an important way of expressing wisdom among literati.
I saw Fei Yi asking Zhang Wen: "The word "Wu" mentioned by Huishu is very good. How do you explain it?"
Sun Quan, who was about to wink, heard Fei Yi ask Zhang Wen this question, and his interest was immediately attracted.
Because most of Jiangdong is the old land of the Wu Kingdom in the pre-Qin Dynasty, people often refer to Jiangdong as "Wu". For decades, Wu has almost become the pronoun of the Sun family in Jiangdong.
So at this time, Sun Quan was also curious about how Zhang Wen would explain the word "Wu" that represented himself.
Currently in the hall, because of Fei Yi's question, not only Sun Quan looked at Zhang Wen expectantly, but all Jiangdong ministers also looked at Zhang Wen expectantly.
As ministers of the Sun family, aren't they all ministers of Wu?
The meaning of the word Wu to them is also very great.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhang Wen smiled proudly and replied slowly: "Heaven has no mouth, Wu has the mouth, and the sea is the capital of the overlord."
When Zhang Wen's dismantling was revealed, bursts of warm cheers erupted in the lobby.
The enthusiastic cheers came from the mouths of Jiangdong's courtiers. Even Sun Quan showed excitement on his face after listening to Zhang Wen's dismantling.
We can't blame everyone in Jiangdong for reacting too much. It's really Zhang Wen who did a great job of breaking down the word "Wu".
Especially the last sentence "the capital of the overlord". Didn't Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, raise his troops from the land of Wu?
Zhang Wen's dismantling of the word "Wu" in this way made every Jiangdong minister feel proud of the word "Wu" because of Xiang Yu's prestigious name.
After feeling proud, everyone in the lobby turned their attention to Fei Yi.
In addition to Minister Jiangdong's eyes, everyone's eyes were also those of members of our own mission.
They all wanted to see how Fei Yi responded to Zhang Wen's dismantling.
Under the gaze of everyone, Fei Yi knew that he could not back down at this time. He must also break down Zhang Wen's words and fight back.
Because he now represents Liu Bei.
If he cannot counterattack Zhang Wen today, and Zhang Wen's words at today's banquet are spread, it will undoubtedly cause a blow to the prestige of the Han Dynasty that Liu Bei has just established.
Because the Han had a very high status in the hearts of the world, how could he, as the envoy of the Han, be troubled by a scholar from a small place in Jiangdong?
But if he wants to break down one character to counter Zhang Wen, the character he chooses cannot be Chinese.
If you compare Han and Wu on the same level, you will undoubtedly damage the status of the character Han and invisibly elevate the status of the character Wu.
In the case where Han could not be chosen, the character chosen by Fei Yi also had the effect of directly attacking the arrogance of the Wu people.
Because of various restrictions, Fei Yi might not be able to think of it for a while normally, but now Fei Yi came up with a word in his mind almost instantly.
With him by his side, Fei Yi had full confidence in his heart.
But before dismantling that word, Fei Yi needed to come up with something to get twice the result with half the effort.
Fei Yi did not respond to Zhang Wen immediately. He turned and looked at Deng Zhi.
Although Deng Zhi was already drunk now, the drunkenness only reduced his ability to adapt, and it did not make him unable to think.
After Deng Zhi saw Fei Yi's eyes, he understood Fei Yi's intention after thinking about it.
He could clearly see the behavior of Fei Yi when he stepped forward to debate Jiangdong officials just now.
So at this time, Deng Zhi had a deeper understanding of Fei Yi's talents.
Under this situation, Deng Zhi asked one of his envoys to get up and walk out of the hall.
This move by Fei Yi and Deng Zhi made Sun Quan and Jiangdong officials in the hall feel a little confused.
Could it be that Fei Yi gave up and wanted to find foreign help?
But before everyone could wonder for a long time, the envoy who had just left returned to the hall with a wooden box in his hand.
The wooden box was not big, but when the envoy appeared carrying it, everyone in the hall realized that the wooden box contained something definitely not ordinary.
Otherwise, it would not be enough to explain the strange behavior of Fei Yi and Deng Zhi just now.
Because he didn't know what was in the wooden box, the envoy was stopped by Sun Quan's guards outside the hall.
Sun Quan's guards wanted to inspect the contents of the wooden box in public.
Regarding this scene, Deng Zhi showed a smile on his lips, and he motioned to the envoy carrying the wooden box to let Sun Quan's guards inspect it.
Under the signal from Deng Zhi's eyes, Sun Quan's bodyguard opened the wooden box without any obstruction.
But when Sun Quan's bodyguard opened the wooden box and saw the items inside, his eyes were moved.
What was inside the wooden box was a human head that had been treated with incense ash.
Because he had seen a lot of dead people and didn't know who the head belonged to, the guard didn't react much.
He just turned around and reported the truth to Sun Quan in the hall about what he saw.
When the Jiangdong ministers in the lobby knew that the wooden box contained a human head, they all looked at Fei Yi and Deng Zhi with doubts.
Only Sun Quan saw this scene, and a trace of gloom appeared on his face as he thought of Lu Meng.
Is Liu Bei addicted to giving away people's heads?
Whose is it this time?
Because the envoy was outside the hall and the head was hidden in the wooden box, those who knew Cao Ren did not know that the head in the wooden box belonged to Cao Ren.
Seeing everyone's doubtful looks, Fei Yi's lips showed a smile under the encouragement from Deng Zhi's eyes.
He asked the envoy holding Cao Ren's head to come in, and then he pointed at Cao Ren's head and said:
"Previously, Cao Ren personally led an army of 50,000, which was defeated by the champion of the dynasty. The tens of thousands of Wei troops were wiped out. Cao Ren even committed suicide by the Han River."
"The head contained in this wooden box is none other than Cao Ren."
When Fei Yi said his first words, the faces of Jiangdong's ministers in the hall were already very hesitant.
And when Fei Yi said that the head contained in the wooden box belonged to Cao Ren, the Jiangdong ministers in the hall were even more shocked.
Those Wu generals who had seen Cao Ren stood up subconsciously.
At this time, the envoy had already arrived in the middle of the hall with the wooden box, so the Wu generals who stood up could clearly see that the head in the wooden box was indeed Cao Ren's.
They couldn't hide the surprise in their hearts, and they stumbled back to their seats in a state of confusion.
Even Sun Quan subconsciously stood up and stared into the wooden box.
Most of the people in the lobby already knew about the Battle of Xicheng, but it was one thing to know. It was another thing when Fei Yi personally delivered Cao Ren's head to them.
They saw with their own eyes that the first general of Cao Wei, Cao Ren, who used to lead the Wei army to show off his power, was now left with only a blood-stained head lying sadly in a wooden box. The impact of this scene was very powerful.
of.
Sun Quan stood up with a look of doubt and fear on his face.
The expressions of everyone in Jiangdong in the lobby were clearly captured by Fei Yi.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Now Fei Yi started his counterattack. Fei Yi looked at Zhang Wen and asked:
"Hui Shu, can you tell what the word Yang means?"
Fei Yi looked at Zhang Wen opposite him with shining eyes.
Shocked by the sight of Cao Ren's head, Fei Yi mentioned the name of Mi Yang who cut off Cao Ren's head. Not to mention that Zhang Wen was unable to answer Fei Yi, and all Jiangdong officials present were avoiding Fei Yi's eyes.
Seeing that the Jiangdong ministers were avoiding his gaze, Fei Yi began to dismantle the word "Qiyang".
"The one without the sun is broad, the one with the sun is yang, the righteous and powerful will be strong, no matter how strong they are, they will be killed!"
When Fei Yi said these words loudly, a dozen envoys behind him burst into cheers that were even more enthusiastic than those of the dozens of Jiangdong ministers just now.
Now the champion of the Han Dynasty, Hou Miyang, is their pride!
And when the cheers of more than a dozen envoys covered the entire hall, all the Jiangdong people present, from Sun Quan to the attendants, when they heard Fei Yi's words, they could not suppress the expression on their faces.
The look of fear.
The battle with the police gave Mi Yang great prestige in Jiangdong.
In addition, Mi Yang besieged and killed Cao Ren, the first general of Cao Wei in the Han River, and Cao Ren's head is now at the scene, so the deterrence brought by Fei Yi's words is very strong.
In troubled times, achievements speak for themselves.
At present, isn't it a true portrayal of Mi Yang that even if he is strong, he must be killed?
In fear, the Jiangdong ministers in the hall all looked away from Cao Ren's head.
When they saw Cao Ren's head, they felt as if Mi Yang was standing in the lobby holding a sharp sword and staring at them.
In this state of mind, Zhang Wen's words to praise Wu just now were like a joke.
So what about the capital of the overlord? Didn't Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, build the Han Dynasty with the help of Han Xin by stepping on the corpse of the overlord?
As the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Quan's performance was not much better.
In terms of fear of Mi Yang, he will only be more afraid than others, not less.
Sun Quan slowly sat down, expressionless.
In ancient times, there was a sage king who spread his message to all directions in order to frighten those who were disobedient.
Now Liu Bei moved Ren to join Jianye, and it is self-evident for what reason.
However, although Sun Quan lost his composure under Liu Bei's shock, he was able to bend and stretch, and he quickly forced himself to react from his loss of consciousness.
He first ordered someone to take over the wooden box containing Cao Ren's head from the envoy. It was a gift from Liu Bei, and he had to accept it even if he didn't want to.
Then Sun Quan showed a smile on his face and said to Fei Yi: "It is a great blessing for the Han Dynasty to have a champion in this dynasty."
Although Sun Quan said this with a smile on his face, there was no joy in his words.
It was the luck of the Han Dynasty, but it was his misfortune.
At this time, Sun Quan had lost all interest in playing tricks. Sun Quan asked Fei Yi to take a seat. Then he looked at Deng Zhi and asked:
"How about the champion being in West City?"
From the previous information, Sun Quan already knew about Liu Bei's reward for Mi Yang. His question to Deng Zhi actually had other intentions.
At this time, Deng Zhi had sobered up a lot because of Fei Yi's bold words, so he was able to answer normally when faced with Sun Quan's questions.
Deng Zhi raised his hands and said to Sun Quan: "Everything is well with the champion."
Listening to Deng Zhi's answer, Sun Quan had a real smile on his face.
As long as Mi Yang stays well in Xicheng, he won't leave. If he doesn't leave, he won't be able to come to Jingzhou.
As long as Mi Yang doesn't come to Jingzhou, he will still be happy.
Then Sun Quan seemed to suddenly remember something, and he said to Deng Zhi: "Wei Yan, the governor of Hanzhong, became the governor of Hanzhong without any great achievements. He is unruly and unruly, and he is a villain.
The emperor may have promoted Wei Yan because he had some talents, but now that the emperor has appointed the champion as the governor of Yibei, Wei Yan may be narrow-minded and resentful of this move.
If there is disagreement at that time, chaos will break out in Yibei. After the envoy returns to Chengdu, please inform the emperor of this matter and ask him to take more precautions."
Hearing what Sun Quan said, Deng Zhi and Fei Yi frowned.
They saw that Sun Quan's face was sincere, and he didn't seem to be trying to alienate him. They also thought of Wei Yan's reputation in the past, so they began to worry in their hearts.
In fact, the reason why Sun Quan said this was due to two considerations.
The first level is that Jiangdong's vitality has not yet recovered. Under such circumstances, the relationship between him and Liu Bei, known as monarch and minister, but actually an alliance, will remain strong for a short period of time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sun Quan also needs Liu Bei to be in the front to attract most of Cao Wei's troops to give him time to develop.
So when he said these words, he was really reminding Deng Zhi.
Another consideration is that he really hopes that Wei Yan will not cause trouble for Mi Yang and let Mi Yang stay well in Yibei.
However, although Deng Zhi was worried because of Sun Quan's words, he still said: "Wei Yan may be dissatisfied, but being dissatisfied is just a private thought. Wei Yan has no intention of tattooing Han Xin or others.
Now that the world is falling apart, it is time to wipe out the strong thieves and create chaos in the world.
As the saying goes, success is achieved by talent, and career is broad by talent. If you neglect talented people and guard against future troubles, wouldn't it be equivalent to abandoning your ship for fear of storms? This is not a long-term plan."
After listening to Deng Zhi's explanation, Sun Quan didn't say anything else and started drinking in silence.
Hope so.
...
Not long after Deng Zhi arrived in Jianye, in Wudang County, Dong Yun, the emperor's envoy, had just finished reading out the reward for Mi Yang.
After learning about the arrival of the emperor's messenger Dong Yun, Mi Yang led a group of generals currently in Wudang County to welcome Dong Yun's arrival.
When the generals learned that Liu Bei had worshiped Mi Yang as General of the Left, granted him the title of Champion, and granted him the power of military governor of Yibei, the joy on their faces was much higher than that on Mi Yang's face.
Anyone who is not a fool can understand how generous Liu Bei's reward is to Mi Yang.
And it shows how deeply he values and loves Mi Yang.
Clinging to the dragon and attaching to the phoenix is common sense.
Mi Yang clings to Liu Bei to achieve higher achievements. As Mi Yang's subordinates, aren't they also clinging to Mi Yang for a better future?
As Mi Yang's status improves step by step, their future will be bright.
Moreover, in the minds of the generals, they felt that Mi Yang truly deserved the reward he received.
Although Mi Yang was not as excited as the generals, there was still joy on his face.
After Mi Yang received the edict of reward from Dong Yun, because they were old acquaintances, Mi Yang wanted to ask Dong Yun to stay in Wudang City for a while.
Facing Mi Yang's invitation, Dong Yun did not comment. He just invited Mi Yang aside and said:
"When I was conferring a reward on Wei Yan in Nanzheng City, I noticed that he had a rather unhappy look on his face. I would like to ask General Zuo to pay more attention to this."
After listening to Dong Yun's words, Mi Yang's face showed a heavy look.
