After entering Chang'an, the city gate was closed. Liu Yu asked people to go to the city gate captain to take a leave of absence, and then took Gao Fei, Zhu Gong Dao, Zhu Gong Dao, Sima Yi and the others back to their residence in Chang'an.
Liu Yu's house is small, not as good as Zhujiazhuang, and there are usually few people there. Except for his mother and wife, there is no one else. Judging from his family background, he is not wealthy.
I wish I was fair and generous. Seeing that my apprentice was a little depressed, I sent a servant to give him some money, and asked his entourage to bring wine and meat from the car, and borrowed the kitchen of Liu Yu's house to cook.
Taking advantage of the cooking time, Zhu Gongping asked about the current situation in Chang'an City.
Liu Yu also talked about everything he knew, and explained everything in detail about the situation in Chang'an City.
It turned out that it was true that Ma Teng was stabbed, and he was seriously injured. He is still bedridden, and the murderer has never been caught. As for who wanted to assassinate Ma Teng, people in Chang'an have different opinions. For a while, it has been
Prince Ma Chao supervised the country and handled major military and political affairs of the court. With the help of Sikong Chen Qun, there was no trouble.
What Liu Yu learned was only superficial knowledge. He was just trying to earn a living by a dental officer who was working under the Chengmen Colonel, and secretly let him in on the matter of Zhu Ping Gong. If it weren't for his relationship with the Chengmen Colonel,
It's good, but I don't dare to openly disobey.
After Gao Fei learned some basic information and heard that Liu Yu did not mention the names of Cao Cao and others, he became curious and asked: "General Liu, I heard that Cao Cao, the conquered king of Wei in the past, led
People are living here, and I wonder how Qin treats them?"
Liu Yu said: "I don't know about this, but I heard that Cao Cao was detained in Liangzhou and became a county magistrate, and the people he brought with him were also separated and assigned to various places.
The county magistrate has gone."
"Divide and conquer, this method can indeed play a certain role, but it must be established under close surveillance. It seems that Ma Chao also knew that Cao Cao and others were dangerous and had to use them, so he moved them separately to prevent them from contacting each other.
, to prevent doing anything unfavorable to Qin..." Gao Fei thought to himself after hearing this.
Gao Fei's trip was just for Cao Cao and others. After getting this information, he asked: "I wonder which county in Liangzhou Cao Cao was assigned to be the county magistrate?"
Liu Yu said: "I know this. Cao Cao was sent to Yumen Pass in Dunhuang County as a guard. This incident was spread throughout Chang'an City at that time. Many people saw Cao Cao's joke."
Gao Fei stopped asking, fearing that Liu Yu would become suspicious if he continued to ask. After knowing where Cao Cao was, he asked Liu Yu: "Where does Sikong Chenqun live?"
"Sikong Mansion is at the end of Zhuque Street, next to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Ordinary people cannot go there casually. Why, Mr. Tang wants to pay a visit to Lord Sikong?" Liu Yu asked.
"Yes, I have met Sikong Chenqun several times. I heard that he is a confidant of the prince, so I want to pay a visit and seek an official position." Gao Fei said with a smile.
"Oh, I'll take you there in a moment, lest you don't know the way."
Gao Fei nodded, stopped talking, and sat there quietly, looking thoughtful.
Then, there was a chat between Zhu Gongping and Liu Yu. After a while, the food and wine were ready, and Zhu Gongping's servant brought them directly to the table. Everyone sat around the table and drank happily.
After drinking and eating, Gao Fei said to Zhu Gong Gong and Zhu Gong Dao: "I'm going to Sikong Mansion and also visit the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's inconvenient to go with too many people, so I can only take one with me."
"I'll go." Zhu Gongdao volunteered.
Zhu Gongping did not stop him, and immediately said: "I and others are guarding outside Zhuque Street. If anything happens, I can have someone take care of me."
Gao Fei nodded, took Sima Yi and Zhu Gongdao into a carriage, and Liu Yu drove the carriage himself, slowly heading towards Sikong Mansion.
Zhu Pingping followed him with his ten servants who were highly skilled in martial arts. When they came to Zhuque Street, they hid in the darkness of the street and paid close attention to the movements of Sikong Mansion.
At the end of Zhuque Street, two large mansions stood opposite each other. On the left was the Sikong Mansion and on the right was the Prime Minister's Mansion. The soldiers of the Qin Army blocked the entire street and no one was allowed to approach further. As a last resort, Liu Yu had to turn the carriage
Stopping at the roadside, Gao Fei, Sima Yi, and Zhu Gongdao jumped out of the carriage and glanced at the heavily guarded Zhuque Street. No one said anything.
When Liu Yu got off the carriage, he handed it over with a famous thorn, stuffed some money into the soldiers guarding here, and whispered: "Please take care of me."
Seeing Qian's eyes open, the soldier immediately waved his hand toward the inside, signaling Gao Fei, Sima Yi, and Zhu Gongdao to go in, but they had to remove all weapons and be searched.
After being inspected, Gao Fei, Sima Yi, and Zhu Gongdao entered the end of Zhuque Street and walked straight to the doors of Sikong Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. They didn't know which one to go to first.
In the end, Gao Fei made a decision and decided to go first to Sikong Mansion, come out to Zihou, and then enter the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, he had heard that the Prime Minister of Qin, Yang Biao, was in vain, and Chen Qun was the one in control of the entire situation.
This time, Zhu Gongdao handed over the famous assassin and gave some money, so the disciples were willing to report it.
After a while, Gao Fei saw the doorman coming out and called them in. Gao Fei, Sima Yi and Zhu Gongdao walked in together.
Walking straight into the hall of Sikong Mansion, Gao Fei saw a person sitting in the center of the hall. He was wearing a dark robe and a high black crown with a hairpin passing through it. He had a white face and a green beard.
Looking extremely elegant, it is Sikong Chenqun.
Gao Fei and Chen Qun had met before, but they hadn't spoken to each other, and they were far away from each other. Looking at them up close, they really felt that Chen Qun had the air of an elder and a very good temperament.
Chen Qun had already started to look at Gao Fei, Sima Yi, and Zhu Gongdao when they came into his sight, but he didn't recognize any of them, so he asked, "What do you call them?"
Gao Fei took a step forward and saluted respectfully: "My surname is Tang, my given name is Liang, and my courtesy name is Yi Ming. I am a merchant from Guandong. I came to Chang'an today and came specifically to pay homage to Lord Sikong. These two are my servants."
, one is my apprentice."
Sima Yi and Zhu Gongdao also followed suit and saluted Chen Qun, but did not speak.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Tang. I wonder why Mr. Tang came to our Sikong Mansion?"
Gao Fei said: "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of your country was assassinated, and his injury has not healed yet. I brought a wild ginseng from Guandong, which can save people's lives, so I came here this time to take advantage of this opportunity to help the Emperor."
Your Majesty, please treat me."
After hearing this, Chen Qun became interested and asked, "Did you bring that wild ginseng?"
"Yeah." Gao Fei immediately asked Zhu Gongdao to take out a rectangular box. The box was very exquisite and he presented it directly to Chen Qun.
After Chen Qun took it, he opened the box and took a look, and saw that there was indeed a wild ginseng lying inside, so he asked Gao Fei: "Is this wild ginseng really that effective?"
Gao Fei nodded and said: "Yes, it is especially useful for bedridden patients. I bought this at a high price from the miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing, so you can use it with confidence."
Chen Qun said: "If it really works, then you will be a great hero of the Qin State. However, when Duke Tang came to see me, he shouldn't just talk about offering this wild ginseng, right?"
"Haha, then I won't hide it. I have an apprentice named Ma Yi. He has been very smart since he was a child, but he just lacks people who can recognize him. I heard that Lord Sikong has a high position in the Qin State, so I want to recommend Ma Yi through Lord Sikong.
, and became an official in the Qin State." Gao Fei said.
As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi was surprised. Along the way, he had never heard Gao Fei mention his plan to let him stay in Qin. When he suddenly heard this, he was indeed a little panicked and opened his eyes wide.
Eyes looking at Gao Fei.
"Oh, that's it. But whether he has talent or not is not decided by Mr. Tang, but by me. Besides, he is still young, what can a child do?"
"I'm not a child. I'm proficient in all the Four Books and Five Classics. If you don't believe me, you can take a test on me!" Sima Yi suddenly said.
Chen Qun smiled and said: "You have personality. However, here in Qin, in the area directly under the jurisdiction of His Royal Highness, if you show personality, you will not get a good end."
After Sima Yi heard this, he saw that Chen Qun's smile was hiding a knife, and his words often had deep meanings, so he stopped talking nonsense and continued to remain silent and calm.
"Tang Gong, let's put this matter aside for now. He is still a child. He may not be able to take on his responsibilities in another two years." Chen Qun shook his head and said.
Seeing that Sima Yi was rejected, Gao Fei just smiled and said, "Master Sikong is absolutely right."
Chen Qun said: "Tang Gong, do you have anything else to do?"
"No more."
Chen Qun said: "I wonder where Mr. Tang lives?"
Gao Fei told Chen Qun where he lived. After hearing this, Chen Qun said, "Well, please go back and have a good rest. Once your Majesty gets better, you will be rewarded heavily."
"Then I'll take my leave!" Gao Fei took Zhu Gongdao and Sima Yi out of Sikong Mansion very wisely.
As soon as he left Sikong Mansion, Sima Yi hurriedly said: "The whole person is so arrogant..."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Then let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to try..."
With that said, Gao Fei and Zhu Gongdao, Sima Yi walked to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, first handed over the assassination, and then gave him a small amount of money before informing him.
Not long after, the three people were welcomed into the Prime Minister's Mansion. After entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, the three people came to the hall, but what they saw was a young man standing in the hall, and Prime Minister Yang Biao was not seen.
When the young man saw that Gao Fei, Sima Yi, and Zhu Gongdao were all very handsome, he cupped his hands and said, "Three of you came to visit. My father should have gone out to greet you personally. However, my father was ill, so I had to take his place. I am Yang Xiu,
