Chapter 175 Conspiracy, Sima Shi's staff members, worrying about state affairs, Xia Houxuan invites all friends
After the mourning of the empress, the emperor's illness, which had not been cured, actually worsened. The emperor's body was not in good condition, so he ordered Gao Tanglong to serve Gao Tanglong on horseback. The minister made Pei Qian and others worried, and the emperor was worried.
His two heirs, Qi Wangfang and Qin Wangxun, were only six or seven-year-old children, which made Gao Tanglong, Pei Qian and others even more worried.
The emperor is seriously ill, the border is in danger, and the prince of the country is undecided. In addition to Gao Tanglong and other senior ministers, some young scholars who are concerned about national affairs are also a little uneasy.
But among these young scholars, such as Xia Houxuan and Zhuge Dan, they really wanted to pursue the country, but many others had their own agendas, unlike Gao Tanglong, Xia Houxuan and others who were all worried about the country.
At this moment, in Xia Houxuan's Changling Marquis Mansion and in the study of Sima Shi, the eldest son of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, two groups of young scholars in their prime were quietly gathering. At this moment, they were making precise analyzes of the current situation and future plans.
And a thorough plan.
In the Linzhi Pavilion of the East Hall of the Changling Marquis Mansion, Xia Houxuan not only invited Zhuge Dan and Li Feng, two idle and unemployed old friends, but also invited the new head of the Yingyin Marquis Mansion, the eldest son of the Grand Sikong Chen Qun.
Chen Tai, as well as Sima Qi, the eldest son of Sima Zhi in Henan Yin, Du Shu, the eldest son of Du Ji, the eldest son of the former minister, Pei Xiu, the eldest son of Pei Qian, the eldest son of the former minister, and Jia Chong, the son of Jia Kui, the governor of Yuzhou. These five are quite talented and can be won over.
The young scholars used.
Hui Gu is about to give birth recently, so the person responsible for arranging the servants to serve tea is the elderly housekeeper Gu Ting. Xia Houxuan is sitting on the main seat of Linzhi Pavilion. Zhuge Dan, Li Feng, and
Chen Tai, Sima Qi, Du Shu, Pei Xiu, Jia Chong and other seven people dispersed in the hall. Among them, Du Shu was in his forties, Chen Tai was nearly forty years old, and the others were slightly older.
Those such as Xia Houxuan, Zhuge Dan, Li Feng, Sima Qi and others are all in their thirties, while Jia Chong, who has recently become a minister and inherited the title of Marquis of Liting from his father Jia Kuei, has just arrived.
Years old. As for Pei Xiu, he is only thirteen years old this year and is the youngest one.
Zhuge Dan saw that his wife, Li Huigu, was about to give birth. He also heard that Yuan Ji, the wife of Sima Zhao, the second son of the Wuyang Hou Mansion, and the queen of Wang Su, Lanling Hou Wang Su, was also about to give birth. He couldn't help but think of his wife Zhong Changqin, who had shown signs of pregnancy a few days ago.
He admired Jia Yi, a great sage in the Han Dynasty, and thought of the sentence "Beautiful as dark as the abyss". He thought that if his child was born, he would name him "Liang".
It is not without reason that Xia Houxuan only invited these five people today, except Zhuge Dan and Li Feng, his two old friends.
Du Shu and Du Wubo were the legitimate sons of Du Ji and Du Bohou, a famous official in Emperor Wen's dynasty. He was quite talented and had a good relationship with Zhuge Dan. Now he serves as the minister of Sanqi in the court, so he is naturally a good person.
An important figure who fought against Sima.
Although Chen Tai and Chen Xuanbo were the eldest sons of Chen Qun, who was a close friend of Sima Yi and other old nobles, according to Xia Houxuan's knowledge, this man had a similar temperament to his father. He had always been upright and able to observe big rules, and was not as smooth as the Sima family.
Dark, not only that, Chen Tai is not only extraordinary in literary talent, but also proficient in martial arts and well-versed in military strategy. In this dynasty, he is vaguely as famous as Guanqiu Jian, who is in charge of the military affairs of a state. Not only that, Chen Tai is now the minister of Sanqi.
With such an important position, his future achievements would naturally be extraordinary. If he wanted to fight against the clan headed by Sima, Chen Tai would be a rare and powerful helper.
In addition, Sima Qi, although he is the son of Sima Zhi, brother of Sima Yi clan, but like Chen Tai, he is not a person who only seeks personal gain. Moreover, both Sima Zhi and Sima Qi's father and son have talents in political science and criminal law, and
He was not under the Gao family, which was famous for practicing law in this dynasty, so Xiahou Xuan would naturally not miss Sima Qi's talent.
As for Jia Chong, he was the beloved son of Jia Kui and Jia Liangdao, a loyal scholar in the Great Wei Dynasty. His father was very fond of Chong Lu, so he was given the name Gong Lu. When Jia Kui died of illness in the second year of Taihe, he was not yet alive.
When the adult Jia Chong was in mourning, he already had a reputation of pure filial piety. After Jia Chong inherited his father's title of Marquis of Yangliting, he was appointed Shangshulang shortly after the mourning period. He was famous for codifying laws and regulations and conducting examinations.
Nowadays, Jia Chong is a promising young man and it is time to make great achievements.
The youngest among the five, Pei Xiu, the son of Pei Qian, the minister of the Pei family in Hedong, is only thirteen years old, but he is already a talented little celebrity. Pei Xiu is not only good at Taoist philosophy, but also proficient in geography.
People in Luoyang were amazed at his amazing talent and thought that his talent was no less than that of Zhong Hui, the younger brother of Dingling Marquis Zhong Yu. They also specially compiled a nursery rhyme for him: "The backward leader has Pei Xiu". Therefore, this son is also
He was not ignored by Xia Houxuan.
After Xia Houxuan greeted everyone, he didn't say many polite words. He bowed towards the four seats and said his worries straight to the point:
"Gentlemen, Xuan specially invites you to visit me today because he is worried about state affairs. You all understand that the emperor is not in good health, the heir is undecided, the heir is young, and bandits are rampant on the border. It is really a critical moment for our survival. We are watching.
The border is in turmoil, but the country's talents are useless. Xuan is deeply worried in his heart. I don't know what you guys here have to say. Please feel free to give me some advice!"
Zhuge Dan and Li Feng are old friends, so they naturally understand what Xiahou Xuan is thinking. Now the only person the emperor can use in the court is Sima Yi. Once Sima Yi accomplishes such an immortal feat again, the prestige of the Sima family in the court will naturally be
No one can compare with him. Xia Houxuan's intention is to see if there is anyone else who can replace Sima Yi, or if there is anyone who can restrain Sima Yi.
Everyone here is a very smart person, and they all know the grudges between Xia Houxuan and the Sima family. Naturally, they all understand Xia Houxuan's intentions. After a while, Jia Chong's mind was full of thoughts, and his heart was actually leaning towards Sima, the master of Sima.
Brother Zhao, he had the idea of attracting Xia Houxuan to join the Sima family camp, so he spoke first. He bowed towards Xia Houxuan, whom he had always admired, and then said:
"Marquis Changling, I have something to say. I wonder if I should say it?"
Xia Houxuan nodded and said:
"Gong Lu, it's okay to just say it."
Jia Chong composed himself again and then said:
"In my opinion, the only famous general in the court who is both wise and brave now is Sima Taiwei. The Marquis of Changling can strongly recommend the Taiwei to go to war in front of Your Majesty, and the two sons of Changlinghou and Taiwei will support him. If this battle is won,
, then the Marquis of Changling can achieve unparalleled achievements in one fell swoop, wouldn’t it be beautiful?”
When Xia Houxuan heard this, his heart was shocked, and the hand holding the tea cup trembled unconsciously with surprise and anger. He originally thought that Jia Chong was a loyal and loyal man, and his conduct was naturally good, so he invited him today.
When he came, what he didn't expect was that Jia Chong revealed his nature of following people's influence and taking advantage of others as soon as he opened his mouth. Therefore, Xia Houxuan was instantly disgusted with this younger celebrity. Faced with Jia Chong's naked lobbying, Xia Houxuan chose
fell silent.
For a moment, the atmosphere among several people in the hall became awkward.
After another long while, the still calm and experienced Chen Tai and Chen Xuanbo broke the uncomfortable atmosphere:
"At the beginning of the taichu period, in my opinion, the most trusted people around your majesty at the moment, apart from Changping Hou Cao Changsi, Liu Ziqi, and Sun Yanlong, are the Sanqi Changshi, Yangwu Tinghou, and the school official He Zeng
He Yingkao and Sanqi Changshi Gaotang are at peace. If Taichu wants to change His Majesty's mind, he might as well work on these two people."
Hearing this, Xia Houxuan's spirit was immediately lifted. He nodded and said:
"Brother Xuan Bo's words are reasonable, but there is still a difficulty at present, that is, besides the Taiwei, who else can take on the important task of quelling the rebellion?"
Zhuge Dan has recently been pregnant with his beloved wife, so his heart is tied to his wife Zhong Changqin. At this moment, he is a little uneasy and naturally has no idea. Although Li Feng is a great talent, he has had few friends since he was reviled.
I don’t know much about the situation between North Korea and China, so I have no idea at the moment.
At this time, Du Shu seemed to have thought of someone. He immediately sat down and said:
"In the early days of Taichu, there was a veteran general in the court. I wonder if he can take on such an important task?"
Xia Houxuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He stood up excitedly and asked:
"Who is it?"
Du Shu said firmly:
"General Hu Zun!"

At this moment, in the secret room of Wuyang Hou Mansion, brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were also working with Fu Gu, Wu Ying, Zhong Yu, Zhong Hui brothers, Xun Can's brother Xun Yi, Chen Ben's brother Chen Qian, and two
The rising stars Wei Guan and Yang Hu discussed the current countermeasures together.
Sima Shi's purpose was naturally to let everyone come up with suggestions to see if there was any way for his father to successfully win the opportunity to conquer Liaodong and take over the military power again.
Due to the discord between Master Sima and his new wife Wu Qing, Wu Qing had been divorced by Master Sima a few months ago with a divorce letter. Although Master Sima divorced Wu Qing, he valued Wu Ying's talent and did not marry his former wife.
The non-relative brother-in-law broke off the relationship, but after Wu Qing was divorced, his spirit became increasingly haggard. Naturally, Wu Ying, as an elder brother, could not remain indifferent, so these days, Wu Ying obviously seemed a little depressed.
At this moment, the corner of his eye was glancing at Sima Shi's new brother-in-law, the younger brother of Sima Shi's third wife Yang Huiyu, a later celebrity as famous as Zhong Hui, Pei Xiu, and Wei Guan, who was known as "Yan Hui of the time"
Yang Hu, Uncle Yang. What he inadvertently revealed in his eyes was naturally unwillingness, loneliness, and jealousy.
Yang Hu was born in the Taiyang Clan, a well-known noble family. Dating back to the ninth generation since him, every generation of the Yang Clan had people serving in official positions of more than 2,000 kilograms, and these ancestors were all known for their integrity and virtue. Therefore, the name of the Taiyang Clan, whether it was
Both in the previous dynasty and in this dynasty, she was extremely prominent. This is why Sima Shi chose Yang Hui's sister Yang Huiyu to be his wife after he divorced his wife.
Yang Hu's father, Yang Fu, was a famous local celebrity in this dynasty and the prefect of Shangdang. His mother, Cai Shi, was the daughter of Cai Yong, a famous Confucian in the Han Dynasty and Zuo Zhonglang general.
Yang Hu lost his father when he was young, and he was known as a filial son. After his father died, he treated his uncle Yang Dan as if he were his biological father, which proves that his pure filial piety was not in vain.
Legend has it that when he was twelve years old, he was playing in the water by the Wenshui River and met a gray-haired old man.
The old man looked at Yang Hu carefully for a long time, and after talking with Yang Hu, he said with a smile: "You have an extraordinary appearance, and your words are even more strange. I guess you can make great contributions to the world even if you are not even sixty years old!"
After saying this, the old man drifted away without knowing where he ended up.
When Yang Hu grew up, he was indeed learned and talented. He was good at writing and debating. He also had a graceful manner. He was seven feet three inches tall and had a beautiful eyebrows. He was already the first famous person in the future.
Later, after the general Xia Houwei met Yang Hu, he also thought that the second son was unusual, so he arranged a matchmaker to marry his brother Xia Houba's beloved daughter and the sister of the leading general Xia Houxian, who was also Xia Houxuan's cousin, to Yang Hu
.
At this moment, Yang Hu did not notice Wu Ying's sharp eyes, which were as sharp as knives. Listening to the conspiracy and conspiracy mentioned by everyone that made him tired, Yang Hu actually regretted attending his brother-in-law's party.
