By the time Qu Guang returned to Juyang, it was already mid-April, the season when everything grows wildly. Qu Yi had received the news of his return early, but many things could not be written in the letter, so he did not know the outcome of the interview, so he could only
Waiting in the mansion.
After arriving at the house, before Qu Guang had a drink of water, he was immediately summoned by Qu Yi, who was in the private room of Qu's house. As soon as he entered the door and took off his shoes, Qu Guang smelled a fragrance. It turned out that there were already two tables in the room.
At the banquet, delicacies and fine wines were served, and Qu Yi was already sitting on the chair, looking at him with silver chopsticks, and asked when they met: "What did Colonel Sili say?"
Qu Guang took a sip of water and described to Qu Yi in detail what he had seen and heard during his trip, as well as the details of his interview with Chen Chong. Although he felt that although he could not win the post of governor, he could allow Qu Yi to join the Central Dynasty as the Three Dukes.
It can be regarded as a complete meritorious service. Unexpectedly, after Qu Yi heard this, the silver chopsticks fell to the ground. He didn't care at all, leaned forward and asked: "Chen Chong refused to give me the post of governor, but wanted me to join the capital as a Taiwei?"
”
Seeing Qu Yi lose his composure, Qu Guang had never expected it. He looked at Qu Yi for a moment and asked cautiously: "Isn't it dissatisfactory for me to go to the capital to serve as the third official? Chen Shijun specifically told me,
When you go to Beijing, you can be his deputy!"
Unexpectedly, Qu Yi sneered and said: "How do you know what year this is?" Without waiting for Qu Guang's answer, he said to himself: "If it was the Guanghe period and I was asked to be a Taiwei, then
Naturally, it is a great joy. Why should I ask for a governor? Do I want to find fault for myself? But now that the country is divided and heroes are rising together, it is a good opportunity for military men to make contributions. I will become a Taiwei. It sounds better to assist Zuo and Chen Chong. In fact,
It’s nothing more than killing your own future!”
In the end, he turned to muttering to himself and said: "Yes, I am a tiger in the mountains and a fish in the sea. How can I be an official in the capital and be a household dog? This is ruining my future! I might as well be like
As it is now, if you lead an army on your own, there is no chance that you will be able to make meritorious deeds in the future!"
When Qu Guang heard this, he understood the ambition of the patriarch. It turned out that he did not want to be Dou Rong who helped the Han Dynasty, but wanted to be Han Xin who established his own country! This made him feel chills on his spine and he couldn't help but persuade:
"Although your Excellency has this ambition, I'm afraid Chen Shijun has already given the order. If your Excellency refuses this position, what will Chen Shijun think of you?!"
This also touched Qu Yi's heart. He hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said: "I still have to push it. When the time comes, I will say that I am a rough man who only knows how to fight and doesn't know how to help the left. Others will only praise me."
I, Gao Jie, can he still imitate Dong Zhuo and force me to enter the capital with a knife?"
When he said this, he thought about it again, clapped his hands and said to Qu Guang: "Besides, I am familiar with the legal practitioner of Bafu. At worst, I can ask the general for help through him and help me push it."
It’s over.”
Qu Yi said that Fa Zheng was engaged in the work, and it was Fazheng, the military advisor of the Bafu. Since entering the Bafu, Fazheng has been advising Liu Bei. Because of his repeated achievements and the congenial temperament with Liu Bei, Fazheng was in charge of the rest of the Bafu.
Above, neither Xun You nor Chen Qun can compare, so they are called the masterminds by others. When Chen Chong planned to assassinate Yuan Shao, it was Fa Zheng who was sent to contact Qu Yi.
After coming to Kansai, Qu Yi often contacted Fa Zheng for banquets. The two often talked happily, so he boasted that he had a close relationship with Fa Zheng. In Qu Yi's opinion, although it was a bit troublesome to turn down the appointment, it was not.
He lost some love, but as long as Liu Bei could be persuaded, there was nothing to lose. The only thing that made him heartbroken was the pot of red coral that was given away.
On this day, Qu Yi went to Bafu to report on his work, and took the opportunity to invite Fazheng to a wine shop for a meal. Fazheng happily agreed, and the two sat down in the side room. They drank a few glasses of sweet wine first, and then started talking about everyday things. Recently, Fazheng
Many businessmen from the Western Regions came to sell their goods, and they started talking about the white Orchid from the Western Regions, which was quite popular.
After chatting for a while, Qu Yi whispered to Fazheng: "Speaking of this, I did buy two dancing girls recently. They are said to be from Parthia. They dance like a giant, and their waists are like silver snakes. They are very charming and filial."
Are you interested?"
Fazheng peeled off the skins, swallowed two grapes, and said with a smile: "Why is Da Sima so polite? Could it be that he encountered something urgent and asked me to help?"
Qu Yi had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and quickly continued: "There is indeed something that requires Xiaozhi's help." He paused for a moment, and then said fluently: "The imperial court is about to grant me the position of Taiwei, and I really don't want to.
If I dare to accept the order, I hope Xiaozhi can help persuade the general to help me push him over."
Fazheng was startled when he heard this. He was sober from the slight drunkenness he had just had. He asked curiously: "Huh? When was the appointment? I didn't know about it in Bafu. How did Da Sima know?"
Qu Yi did not hesitate and immediately told Fazheng in detail what happened this month. His original intention was to express his sincerity, but Fazheng's expression became uglier the more he listened. When Qu Yi finished speaking, Fazheng didn't say a word.
Said, sitting at the eucalyptus table in a daze.
After a long time, Fazheng said slowly: "I'm afraid I can't help with what Da Sima said."
This, in turn, was beyond Qu Yi's expectation. He hurriedly asked: "Xiaozhi, why is this?"
Fazheng's words were very brief, but deafening. He only heard him say: "Da Sima belongs to the Bafu, but he went to contact the Sili Colonel in private. This is a taboo. However, after contacting him, he did not obey orders, so that
The general refused. At best, this is because he is eager to get an official position and does not know how to advance or retreat. At worst, he is trying to sow discord between the two governments!"
After saying these words, Qu Yi couldn't help but sweat profusely, and kept saying: "Why is this! Why is this!"
Fa Zheng laughed in his heart, but his expression remained solemn and said: "Da Sima, this is not something I am making a fuss about, it is a vital issue for the country, so we have to be careful! From what I can see, Da Sima is still going to be an official in the capital as requested by Captain Sili.
, it is indeed a beautiful story."
When Qu Yi heard this, his fear disappeared. He thought for a while and asked Fa Zhengdao: "Is there no room for this?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Fazheng replied impatiently: "I have known Da Sima for many years. If there was really room for him, how could he not risk his life to help him?"
But Qu Yi heard something wrong from his tone. Even if the matter was as difficult as Fazheng said, he should try it first. How could he say he was trying his best if he refused so categorically? This made
He couldn't help but feel a little more angry, and thought: It seems that I misjudged Fa Xiaozhi. After all, he is just a self-interested villain.
But he still lowered his voice and said: "What Xiaozhi thinks is not what the general thinks after all. You might as well help me ask the general what he means first. If he still means this, then I will find another way."
Seeing that Qu Yi still refused to give up, Fazheng was also annoyed. He knocked on the mat and said, "If Brother Qu doesn't listen to my advice, why bother talking to me? Just talk to the general yourself!"
Being so irritated by Fa Zheng, Qu Yi finally couldn't hold it back and cursed angrily on the spot: "I don't believe you, you are so unkind and don't help me! The gifts and food I give you on weekdays should be put into the pig's intestines and transformed into pig intestines."
The shit is lost!"
Both parties were upright people. Fazheng sneered on the spot and said: "It is said that good words are hard to persuade a jackal. The mountain barbarians cannot understand human speech. Brother Qu has learned a lot about Qiang fighting. Could it be that he has forgotten all the etiquette of the Xia Dynasty!" This sentence hit Qu Yi's pain point. He immediately raised the table, grabbed a riding crop next to him, ignored it, and whipped Fazheng on the face.
At this moment, Qu Yi ignored the shock and pain in front of him, threw the riding whip on the ground, and sneered: "My whip has always driven a thousand-mile horse, but one day I will whip a bad horse!" After that, he walked away.<
/p>
Cang Tou, who was waiting at the door, saw Qu Yi leave angrily and didn't understand why, so he immediately went into the house to find the owner. Unexpectedly, he saw Fazheng still sitting on the table, covering his right face with blood oozing, with a sinister look on his face.
Staring at the riding crop on the ground, Cangtou hurriedly went to get cold water and a cloth to help Fazheng wipe the blood.
When the towel first touched his cheek, Fazheng's cheek trembled, but he didn't say a word and let Cangtou wipe it. After Cangtou changed the water, Fazheng asked: "What time is it now? Is there still something outside the house?"
How many people are there?" Cang Tou answered truthfully: "It is already midnight, and there are many guests outside the house!"
Fazheng didn't want people to see his miserable appearance, so he said: "Then wait a little longer." He waited for a full hour and a half. After the sky was completely dark and there were only a few people outside the house, he waited.
He followed Cang Tou out of the wine shop, covered his face with a black cloth, and returned to the mansion in an ox cart.
As soon as he took off the mask, the wives and concubines at home rushed to Fazheng and asked him about his wounds. Fazheng kicked them out and sat quietly in the study. After a while, he waited.
His younger brother Fa Ke knocked on the door, and Fazheng finally let him in.
As soon as Fa Ke entered the door, the first thing he saw was his brother's table in a mess, with all the paper and bamboo fans torn. Then what he saw was his brother's eyes like a hungry eagle, which made him shudder, and then he heard
The elder brother asked: "Has Qu Yi left Jinyang?"
Fa Ke shook his head and said: "Da Sima is still temporarily staying in Dongshi today, saying that he will return to Jinyang only the day after tomorrow."
Fa Zheng closed his eyes for a moment and said to his clan brother: "Please help me pick ten good soldiers from the army, adjust twenty good crossbows, and arrange them to guard the gate and set up checkpoints in the Weixiu Pavilion thirty miles north of the city." After that, he lifted his waist from his waist.
He took out the order from his military advisor Zhonglang. As long as he has this order, unless he mobilizes more than a hundred troops, everything in the army can be carried out.
Fa Ke took the order from his hand and responded to Fazheng, but he was very strange in his heart and didn't know what his brother was going to do. At this time, Fazheng whispered to Fa Ke again: "Tell them, wait until they see
When the red crow flag passes by the level, don’t say anything, just fire the crossbow and shoot all the people in the group to death!”
The flag with the crow on the red background, isn't that the military flag of Great Sima Quyi?! Fa Ke was shocked when he heard this, but under his brother's gaze, he quickly calmed down and only asked: "How do you explain that to the general?"
?"
Fa Zheng waved his hand, appearing very unconcerned, and then said as if to himself: "The Koji thieves are narrow-minded and difficult to control. They will definitely betray the country if they go here. I am here to eliminate harm for the country!"
