Zhang Zhongjing looked ashamed, sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, this medicine is too difficult to develop. I am beyond my ability. I have made the medicine dozens of times, but I have never succeeded."
Gao Fei said: "That's all, it's fine if you don't refine this medicine. Anyway, the purpose of dividing Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei has been achieved. If you refine such a medicine again, it will be of no use."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Fei turned to Lu Heng and said: "You have tried the medicine so many times without success, so you should have realized something, right? Maybe I am too fanciful, because there is no such medicine in the world. If you
If you really want to change your mind and start over, just listen to me, forget everything in the past, and start from scratch."
Lu Heng sighed heavily and said: "The guilty minister has no shame to stand in the world anymore..."
"You're not even afraid of death, why are you afraid of living?" Gao Fei roared.
Lu Heng did not answer, but looked frustrated.
"I have decided to give you a national surname. From now on, you will be called Gao Heng, and you will continue to serve as your guard, guarding the palace and protecting the capital. Lu Heng is dead." Gao Fei said.
Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly said to Lu Heng: "Why don't you quickly thank your Majesty for your kindness?"
Lu Heng burst into tears with gratitude, and immediately knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, I am so kind to you. I will never be repaid if I die. From now on, there will be no Lu Heng in this world, only Gao Heng."
Gao Fei helped Gao Heng up personally, patted Gao Heng's shoulder, and said: "You and I have been through life and death for many years, and there is only so much I can do for you. Gyeongsang still needs your garrison, so please return to Luoyang.
Assist Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Gai Xun, and Zhong Yao to jointly guard the important areas in the capital."
So Gao Heng said goodbye to Gao Fei and embarked on the road back to Gyeonggi.
After Gao Heng left, Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is the time to hire people. General Gao is also a good general. Why did you drive him back to the capital?"
"There are many talents here, and there are countless outstanding talents. He has lost the stage to perform, so it is better to let him go back to defend the capital for the time being. Gao Heng's offensive is insufficient, but the defense is very tight. If necessary, troops can be sent from Luoyang to assist Xu Huang
." Gao Fei said slowly, with a gleam of light in his eyes.
Although Zhang Zhongjing is not interested in military affairs and strategy, his many years of medical career have made him very good at capturing people's hearts. After listening to Gao Fei's words, he vaguely felt that Gao Fei was thinking about something again, otherwise
There won't be that faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
He took out a small bottle of medicine from his arms, held it up in front of Gao Fei, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the distortion powder that I successfully refined. Only a tiny amount of powder is enough to make a person lose his memory. I
Specially presented to the Emperor, please take a look at it."
"Distortion... Distortion Powder..." Gao Fei was surprised for a while, because he thought that Zhang Zhongjing couldn't refine this amnesia-inducing poison, but he didn't expect that this old boy actually refined this kind of medicine.
He took the Distortion Powder in his hand in surprise, looked at it, and asked: "Is it really so magical? Why didn't you give it to Gao Heng?"
"I know that Your Majesty cares about General Gao very much, so I have never dared to let him actually test the medicine. Instead, I did the test on two prisoners. The result was very successful. The two prisoners didn't even know who they were.
I feel that if these medicines are mixed in the food and given to the prisoners, they will be sure to forget who they are and save a lot of trouble. Your Majesty can send people to do ideological work for more than 20,000 prisoners, and it will be easy to make them
They become soldiers of the Huaxia Kingdom." Zhang Zhongjing suggested.
"It's a good idea...but the name is confusing and confusing...if you don't know, you might think you've lost your virginity. It's better to change your name..."
"Your Majesty, please give me a name!"
Gao Fei thought for a while and then said: "Then let's call it Wangyou Powder. Losing memory means a new beginning, and the past sorrows will be forgotten. It is more appropriate to call it Wangyou Powder."
"What a good name. From now on, the name of this new medicine will be Wangyou San. Your Majesty, please refine some more, otherwise more than 20,000 people will lose their memory at the same time, and this medicine will have no effect at all."
Gao Fei nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Three days later, Gao Fei ordered the new drug Wangyou Powder that Zhang Zhongjing had successfully refined to be put into the meals of more than 20,000 captives. As a result, in less than an hour, more than 20,000 captives suffered collective amnesia. The scene was truly spectacular.
However, fortunately, Gao Fei was prepared in advance, so that every prisoner would be surrounded by a Chinese soldier. When the prisoners collectively lost their memory, the Chinese soldiers would use carefully crafted lies as a deception to label these prisoners.
With a new name, more than 20,000 people had a new identity and naturally became soldiers of the Huaxia Kingdom.
Although this trick is a bit underhanded, it is the most practical.
Of course, this is only for soldiers. The captured generals did not receive such unfair treatment. Gao Fei sent Jiang Gan to do ideological work every day and provided him with good food and drink. He also told the story about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
came out, and gradually shook the hearts of Huo Jun, Lu Chang, Dong He, and Wang Fu, because these four people were single-handedly promoted by Guan Yu, and they were considered Guan Yu's old subordinates. When they heard that Guan Yu was shot ruthlessly by Liu Bei's order, they were also shocked.
.
Finally, after three days of hard work, Jiang Gan finally succeeded in convincing Huo Jun, Lu Chang, Dong He, and Wang Fu to submit.
During these three days, Gao Fei and Zhuge Liang also negotiated secretly. Through Bian Xi, they finally decided that at dusk tomorrow, they would each take a small boat and glide to the center of the river to prepare for the meeting.
Take no one else with you.
In the past few days, the people and ministers in Xiangyang City were living under white terror. Liu Bei went crazy and killed people randomly. For some unknown reason, he often dreamed at night that some people came to demand his life.
On the third night, he unexpectedly dreamed of Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei came to kill him with a knife.
When he woke up from his dream, he vaguely saw two people sneaking outside the door. He listened closely and heard that his guard was having an affair with the palace maid. In anger, he personally killed the guard and the palace maid with a long sword.
.
Having no sleep that night, Liu Bei looked in the mirror and saw that his face was haggard and he had lost a lot of weight. He couldn't help but be shocked. As soon as the third watch came, Liu Bei ordered to call all the ministers for a meeting. In one moment, all the members of the Imperial Guard were arrested.
After sending out, each village chief took a team of people to personally go to the ministers' homes to greet the ministers.
In the middle of the night, all the ministers were sleeping at home. Suddenly they heard the sound of horse hooves and chaotic voices outside the door. Not long after, there was a loud banging on the door of the mansion, as if calling for life.
As soon as the servant opened the door, a wave of guards broke into the minister's house and took away all the ministers who were still lying on the bed. Unfortunately, it was freezing cold, and the ministers were all still wearing thin clothes. They were taken away for a while.
After leaving, everyone curled up like an abandoned stray dog.
At this time, the lights in the palace were brightly lit, and the guards, eunuchs, and maids were all awakened from their dreams. They were standing where they were during the day, and where they are still standing now. A group of people were standing in the middle of the night, in the cold weather, all of them.
Standing upright. The cold wind was blowing, the winter snow was flying, and a group of people sneezed one after another.
In the main hall where he usually went to morning court, Liu Bei was sitting there, fully dressed. Huge fires were lit at the four corners of the main hall, illuminating the main hall like daylight. It was extremely cold outside, but the inside was as warm as spring.
After a while, the ministers were all brought into the hall by the guards. They were all disheveled and looked like ministers. Including the new prime minister Zhuge Liang, he was also picked up in the middle of the night. At that time, the guards broke into the hall.
When he entered the prime minister's house, he was startled, thinking that something unexpected had happened. He was relieved when he found out that it was Liu Bei who had ordered the ministers at night.
"I see you, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor!" All the ministers headed by Zhuge Liang paid their respects to Gao Fei who was sitting on the dragon throne.
"Look at your appearance. The soldiers are all waiting for danger, but you are enjoying peace and tranquility in the city. Now the enemy army has arrived in the city, and you have no sense of precaution at all. What if the Chinese army comes and breaks into you?
In your own family, wouldn’t anyone know if your heads are harvested?" Liu Bei said angrily.
The ministers were silent, and Zhuge Liang couldn't figure out what Liu Bei was going to do and why he suddenly called the ministers at night.
"From today on, all ministers must live in the palace. If I have something to do sooner or later, I can call you to discuss it at any time. The whole city is under martial law. No one can leave the city without my order!" After Liu Bei finished saying this, he walked away.
go.
Zhuge Liang was stunned, wondering what happened to Liu Bei. In this way, his plan was completely ruined.
The ministers were then taken to their respective rooms by the Guards. They were given bedding, food and drink, and each was given a room. The Guards stood guard outside the door, almost completely isolating the ministers.
Zhuge Liang was no exception. He was taken to a room. He was restless and didn't know what was going on. He opened the door and shouted to the guards outside the door: "Please come over, your general. I have something to discuss with you."
he said."
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I'm really sorry, but General Tian has been sent out of the city by the Emperor."
"What about General Yan?" Zhuge Liang asked hurriedly.
"I also went out with General Tian."
Zhuge Liang thought about it secretly: "Impossible. I have always acted very strictly. It is absolutely impossible for any secrets to be leaked. At this time, the emperor sent Tian Yu and Yan Yan out of the city, and put all the ministers under house arrest. What is his intention?
for?"
After thinking for a while, Zhuge Liang couldn't figure it out, so he said to the guard outside the door: "I want to see the emperor!"
"Your Majesty Prime Minister, the Emperor doesn't see anyone right now. Your Majesty Prime Minister, I'm really sorry. This is the Emperor's order, and we just have to obey it. It's still early before dawn, so the Prime Minister should go to bed first and wait for dawn.
Please call me "adult" later."
Zhuge Liang was completely confused. In this way, his plan was completely ruined. He muttered in his heart: "What on earth happened?"
