Sun Quan was so angry that he drew his sword and split the table in front of him in half, making his teeth chatter.
"Send an order to Lu Xun, the governor of Jingzhou, and order him to find out where the Korean thief is fleeing. If he can be intercepted halfway, he must be stopped at any cost, life or death!"
Sun Quan, who had always taken advantage of others, suddenly suffered such a loss. He was so angry that he almost went crazy. He waved the sword in his hand and chopped the case that had been broken into two into dozens of pieces.
Some people from Soochow went to the north and defected to Wei, and some people from Shu also defected to Wei.
Guo Mo crossed the Han River in a light boat and was intercepted by soldiers from Weixing County patrolling the mouth of the river.
Facing the swords and guns of the soldiers, Guo Mo was not afraid. He just listened to him and said calmly, "Someone came from Shu with urgent military information. He wants to inform Prefect Shen. Please report it as soon as possible."
The soldier asked, "How can you prove that you are a careful worker?"
Guo Mo took out an official seal from his arms and said, "This is the official seal of the pseudo-Shu. If you don't know it, ask Prefect Shen to try to identify it. The year before last, there was also a Wang Chong from Shu who abandoned Shu and it was mine.
An acquaintance."
"You pass this thing and these words to Grand Administrator Shen. It will be up to Grand Administrator Shen to decide whether you will see me or not."
The soldiers received the official seal and believed it three points in their hearts. Now that they heard the other party mention that someone had defected to the Wei Dynasty the year before, they believed it three points more.
"Okay, I will send someone to inform the prefect first. Before the eunuch sends the order, I would like to ask you to be aggrieved for a while."
The leading soldier nodded and escorted Guo Mo towards the west city.
When Shen Yi got the news from his subordinates, he thought it was another person from Shu who wanted to defect to the Wei Dynasty, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, Guo Mo brought him a shocking news: Meng Da, the governor of Xincheng County, had secretly communicated with the Shu and Wu captives and wanted to betray the Wei Dynasty.
Shen Yi was shocked at first, and then overjoyed.
The Shen family was originally a wealthy family in the Shangyong area. When the world was in chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Shen family was the local emperor in the Shangyong area.
When Zhang Lu separated Hanzhong, the Shen family first exchanged news with Zhang Lu. Later, after Zhang Lu was destroyed by Cao Cao, the Shen family turned to Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, the passing of time was unfavorable. Within a few years, Hanzhong changed hands for the third time and fell into the hands of Liu Bei.
Liu Bei sent Liu Feng and Meng Da down the Han River to attack Shangyong, but the Shen family had to surrender to Liu Bei again.
I don’t know if the ancestral graves of the Shen family were buried in the wrong direction. Two years later, Mengda rebelled against Shu and defected to Wei, so the Shen family followed and returned to Wei again.
This was repeated and the Shen family suffered a lot, but Mengda was favored by Cao Pi. Cao Pi combined the three counties of Fangling, Shangyong and Xicheng into a new county and appointed Mengda as the prefect.
The local Shen family in Shangyong only lost one eunuch of Weixing County, and the family's base was in the hands of Meng Da.
Shen Yi did not dare to speak out against Cao Pi publicly, but she never concealed her resentment towards Meng Da.
Now that I heard that Meng Da secretly communicated with Wu and Shu, is there any reason not to be overjoyed?
He sent someone overnight to escort Guo Mo to Wancheng, and told the governor of Jingzhou, General Sima Yi, about the matter. At the same time, he loudly publicized Meng Da's rebellion.
When Sima Yi received the news about Shen Yi and Guo Mo who was sent over, he smiled calmly at first and prepared a banquet for Guo Mo himself. He didn't look anxious at all.
Seeing this, Guo Mo couldn't help but feel worried secretly, and asked tentatively, "Why is the general so calm? Could it be that he has a countermeasure?"
"I do have countermeasures already." Sima Yi smiled slightly, "Before I left Luoyang, Liu Shizhong warned me that Meng Da had a counterattack and asked me to be careful. So when I arrived in Wancheng, I was ready for today."
Guo Mo was taken aback and asked, "Who is that Liu Shizhong?"
"He is the great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang. He has the talent to help others and is good at understanding people."
"I see. When I come to Luoyang, if I have a chance, I must pay him a visit."
After hearing this, Guo Mo had a look of surprise on his face, but he cursed secretly in his heart, "Who is this? It turns out to be Old Soldier Liu who has forgotten his ancestors and betrayed his ancestors!"
After sending Guo Mo away, Sima Yi, who had a calm face at first, turned dark, and smashed the things on the table to pieces. The calm and elegant look in front of Guo Mo was all gone, and he could only be heard shouting angrily.
He cursed, "Meng Da is a villain, Shen Yi is stupid!"
"My lord, didn't you say you were prepared in advance to prevent Meng Da? Why are you so angry?"
Master Sima asked from the side.
"It's 1,200 miles from Wancheng to Xincheng. Even if I'm prepared, I still have time to get there. That Shen Yi didn't know what to do, and actually publicized Meng Da's secret communication with Shu and Wu. Isn't this forceful?
Do you want Mengda to rebel as soon as possible? If the Wancheng army cannot catch up by then, the southwest region will become a serious problem for the country!"
Sima Yi said extremely angrily.
"Isn't this Shen Yi self-defeating?"
Master Sima was shocked.
"He is not self-defeating, but deliberately forcing Meng Da to rebel!" Sima Yi sneered, "The Shen family has long been established in Xincheng, and Meng Da was a newcomer at that time. Logically speaking, he should be the one to take the post of governor of Xincheng.
Just sit down."
"Unexpectedly, the late emperor favored Meng Da and entrusted him to the southwest. Although he is the governor of Wei Xing, he is actually under Meng Da. How can you endure it? You can't wait to drive Meng Da away as soon as possible."
When Master Sima heard this, he understood and immediately cursed, "It is extremely selfish to ignore national affairs for your own benefit! Doesn't he harm your Excellency by doing this?"
Sima Yi was a scheming person after all. He quickly calmed down his emotions, his eyes were deep and he said slowly, "Meng Da, you are a profit-seeking disciple!"
"He is in the Wei Dynasty, but he first passed through Shu and then Wu. It can be seen that at this time he is thinking about how to get the maximum benefit. We should march quickly to deal with him before he makes up his mind."
"Sir, what should we do?"
"I'll write him a letter first to comfort him with good words, and hold him back for the time being. You quickly go and order the troops, with the cavalry army going first, traveling day and night, and sneaking in secret."
"promise!"
Mengda was very frightened when he heard that someone had revealed that he had secretly communicated with Shu and Wu. He was about to take action immediately, but he suddenly received a letter from Sima Yi.
The letter reads:
In the past, the general abandoned Liu Bei and devoted himself to righteousness. The late emperor appointed the general to take charge of the battlefield, and appointed the general to the southwest to conquer Shu. It can be said that he was sincere and honest with the general.
The people who pretend to be Shu really hate the general. Zhuge Liang wants revenge, but he has no choice but to do anything to the general. Guo Mo's words are not trivial. How can Zhuge Liang easily let others listen? This is obviously a counter-measure, and the general must not misunderstand it.
rumor.
Meng Da finally felt relieved after reading the letter.
At the same time, I was still in the mood to write a letter to Zhuge Liang:
Wancheng is 800 miles away from Luoyang and 1,200 miles away from Xincheng. Even if Sima Yi hears about my rebellion, he will have to report to the emperor. It will take at least a month to go back and forth.
One month is enough for me to reinforce the city. Moreover, the new city is located in a remote area. Sima Yi will definitely not come in person, but will only send someone else to lead the army. Generals in Jingzhou, I am only afraid of Sima Yi. If other generals come, I will definitely come.
No worries.
Just when Meng Da was ignorant and Sima Yi led his army in a hurry, the palace of Wei State was filled with joy.
Because one and a half years after the new emperor ascended the throne, he finally confirmed the appointment of a queen in the last month of the first year of Taihe.
It's just that the choice of this queen was beyond the expectations of the courtiers.
The Yu family in Hedong was from a famous family. When Cao Rui was the king of Pingyuan, Cao Pi personally selected him as his concubine.
When Cao Rui became the crown prince, Yu became the crown princess.
After Cao Rui ascended the throne, Yu was canonized as Madam, which was the highest rank under the Queen in the palace.
Everyone thought that it was natural for the Yu family to be made queen, but they didn't know that the queen made by Cao Rui was Mao, who was from a humble background.
Everyone in the palace went to congratulate Queen Mao, but Yu was alone in her palace and never showed up.
The utensils in the palace were scattered on the ground. Mrs. Yu was trembling all over, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was distorted, and she looked ferocious. Her usual dignity and elegance had long since disappeared.
I saw the veins on her forehead protruding like earthworms, the handkerchief in her hand had been torn into rags, and she kept cursing, "Bitch! Bitch!"
She behaves like a mad woman.
"Madam, the Queen Mother is here."
The personal maid came in cautiously and reported.
Mrs. Yu stood up suddenly and slapped the palace maid directly. She slapped the palace lady to the ground on the spot and said angrily, "What is she here for? Come to see my joke?"
The palace lady's mouth was bleeding, but she knelt down on the ground regardless of the pieces of the utensils on the ground, not daring to say a word.
"You are from the Yu family in Hedong, from a famous family, and you are the wife of the emperor. Who dares to laugh at you?"
The Empress Dowager Bian walked in and saw that the palace was in a mess. She frowned and said, "You look like you have lost your dignity."
"The air of a famous family? Who is not watching the jokes of the Cao family nowadays? Everyone in the palace is laughing to death. Even if I have the air of a famous family, what's the use of it?"
Mr. Yu sneered and said sarcastically.
Ms. Bian looked at the woman in front of her. She used to think that this woman was virtuous and dignified. Today, she came here to comfort her. She didn't expect that she would become like this, and suddenly she felt that she was a little annoying.
She first ordered the palace maids and chamberlains, "All of you, get out."
Then he said to Mr. Yu, "I know you are upset, but you are from a prominent family, so you should think carefully before speaking out some words. What do you mean by making fun of the Cao family? Let the emperor know that you say such things.
, if you piss him off, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep your position as wife."
Mrs. Yu, however, ignored Mr. Bian's good intentions and pointed at herself, "The Empress Dowager also knows that I come from a noble family. At the same time, I am the wife of the late emperor who personally proposed to him. I dare to ask the Empress Dowager. I will marry myself."
Have you ever behaved inappropriately since you came to the Cao family?"
"Of course not."
"Since there is nothing wrong, it is not the crime of betraying his wife. He has been neglecting me, and I have tolerated it. But now, he would rather make a slut his queen than make a decent wife his queen. Isn't this a case of pampering my concubine?
To destroy his wife? Isn’t he afraid that people in the world will laugh at him for not knowing etiquette?”
"Mao is now the Empress of the Wei Dynasty. She must be a bitch. You'd better pay attention to your speech and don't lose your words."
Bian suppressed her impatience and persuaded.
Mrs. Yu was so angry that she lost her mind. When she saw the empress dowager in front of her recognizing Mao as the queen, she sneered and said, "Ms. Cao has always been good at setting up bad guys. She has never thought about selecting people based on their virtues."
, I tell the truth, what’s wrong with me?”
When Ms. Bian heard this, she finally couldn't suppress her anger and scolded loudly, "You are so presumptuous!"
Mrs. Yu held her head high, not afraid at all, "The Empress Dowager should know whether I am being presumptuous or not!"
Bian was shaking with anger just because she knew that what Yu said hit the Cao family's pain point, but she couldn't refute it.
In his early years, Cao Cao had two wives, one was Mrs. Ding, who was his original wife, and the other was Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu gave birth to a son and a daughter to Cao Cao, but she died young.
So the main wife, Mrs. Ding, raised her children and treated them as her own. This was Cao Ang and later Princess Qinghe.
Later, when Cao Cao attacked Wancheng, he made a "widow.avi" and forced Zhang Xiu to surrender.
So Cao Ang, Dian Wei, Cao Anmin and others died because of Cao Cao's "few people are sick".
This made Mrs. Ding very angry, and she kept crying and asking Cao Aman to pay Cao Ang to him.
It's a pity that Boss Cao doesn't know the resurrection technique, and he was annoyed by Mrs. Ding's crying, so he sent her back to her parents' house, thinking that she would be out of sight.
After some days, Cao Cao eagerly ran to find her again, hoping to get back together. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ding was a strong-tempered woman and would not take Cao A's eyes seriously.
Cao Cao lost face and could not persuade her to return home, so he wrote a letter of divorce and asked the Ding family to help her choose someone to marry.
But let’s not talk about whether the Ding family has the courage. Even if the Ding family dares to marry, no one dares to marry.
So Mrs. Ding has been single all her life without knowing why.
Bian was Cao Cao's concubine. She was originally a champion of excellence, but she came from a humble background. Mrs. Ding made such a fuss, so Bian was promoted by Cao Cao and became the main wife, and even the queen, empress dowager, and empress dowager.
.
After Cao Cao's death, his son Cao Pi followed suit.
Cao Pi's first wife was Mrs. Zhen, who was from a prominent family in Hebei. She was originally the wife of Yuan Shang. After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Pi followed Cao Cao into Yecheng and broke into the Yuan Mansion first. Seeing Mrs. Zhen's beauty, he took advantage of her and raped her.
as a wife.
It is a pity that Cao Pi is fond of the new and hates the old. After a few years, he favored Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yin.
Empress Zhen complained a few times, and was sentenced to death by Cao Pi. She was also ordered to have her face covered and her mouth stuffed with chaff, in the hope that her soul would be permanently locked and she would have no place to redress her grievances.
Cao Pi ordered the death of Empress Zhen and established Mrs. Guo as empress, who is now the empress dowager.
Queen Guo's family background was originally good, and her father was the governor of Nanjun. Unfortunately, she lost her parents at a young age, suffered a war, and was displaced. She even had to live in other people's homes and became a maid.
But after entering the East Palace, she was greatly favored by Cao Pi, soared to the sky, and finally snatched the position of queen from Queen Zhen.
As for the third generation of the Cao family, Cao Rui, now he has followed the same path as the previous two generations in this matter.
Empress Mao was born into a family of craftsmen. Her father was a craftsman who repaired and drove cars for people, and he came from a humble background.
She was originally a concubine, but now she has surpassed the principal wife Yu, who was from a prominent family in Hedong, and became the queen.
Throughout the three generations of the Cao family, they all abandoned their original wives to support concubines who were born in a lowly position. Therefore, the Yu family's statement that "the Cao family likes to set up sluts" actually made the Empress Dowager feel ashamed and angry, as if she had been stabbed in the heart.
One knife, because she is also one of the bitches in Yu's mouth.
Seeing Mrs. Bian being blocked and unable to speak, Mrs. Yu only felt a burst of pleasure.
Anyway, the matter has come to this, and she doesn't care about any gaffes. The position of the most noble queen is gone. What else does she have to lose?
I could only hear her saying to Mr. Bian, "The movement of heaven and earth has its own rules. Since the emperor is the lord of all people, he should comply with the laws of heaven and earth. The queen is in charge of everything in the palace, and the emperor is in charge of the world's affairs. These two
They are complementary to each other.”
"Three generations of the Cao family have now taken concubines as their wives. The bitch ascended to the throne out of love, suddenly became rich and placed herself above the main family. The emperor himself set a bad example, and chaos started from the top, and the ministers and the people
Is there any reason not to follow suit? This is a loss of virtue."
"Since things in this world didn't have a good start, and they still don't repent, it's hard to say that there will be a good outcome. Now the concubine is bullying the main wife. If someone bullies the superior in the future, or even uses the minister to bully the emperor, it will be their own fault."
"The glory of a gentleman can be cut off in five generations, but the glory of a non-gentleman can last for three generations, which is already rare. If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. In the future, the Cao family will probably be subjugated and mourned, and the country and the country founded by their ancestors will be ruined.
What a disaster!"
After what Yu said, Bian was angry and scared.
I am angry because of the vicious words of the other person, but I am afraid that what the other person says is very reasonable.
It's a pity that she also comes from a humble background. In terms of truth, who is the opponent of the Yu family who comes from a famous family?
With an angry look on his face, he turned around and left.
Yu's words soon reached Cao Rui's ears, and he became furious on the spot and deposed Yu back to Ye Palace, vowing never to see each other again.
After saying these words, Mrs. Yu knew that there was no way to survive. She was already waiting for death, but she didn't expect that she could still survive.
When she left Luoyang, she looked back at the majestic palace with a victorious smile on her face: This emperor seemed sensible and wise, but that was just a surface covering up his inner inferiority.
The so-called "never meet each other" probably means that they don't dare to see themselves, right?
It's okay if this person doesn't succeed in his ambition. Once he succeeds in his ambition, he will only indulge his inner desires and is not a virtuous king!
