Chapter 139: The 'Wuzhangyuan Secret' in Hou Ji's mouth
The housekeeper counted the coins in his hand again. He couldn't believe his eyes, and wiped his eyes with his sleeves. There were really so many coins! He had never seen so many coins before. He was not like those in Chengdu.
The local high-ranking officials and those in charge of the big houses are well-informed. They are all veterans who have been working in various houses for many years. They have some abilities and means, and they have seen a lot of receiving gifts. They are all
In the families of high-ranking officials and wealthy families, servants have had children. After hundreds or decades, they all know the basics. It makes you feel at ease when using them.
Unlike his master, the Hanoi Sima clan, who "came over" from Luoyang and Chang'an, the center of the Central Plains, to join the Shu Han to help their later master Liu Chan complete the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty and restoring the Central Plains. Speaking of his master
The Sima family is also a veteran of the Han Dynasty. Furthermore, he has been an old acquaintance with the Prime Minister, who is known to everyone in the Shu Han Dynasty.
Just like when Prime Minister Zhuge died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, if his master Sima Yi had not "released the water", in Hou Ji's words, it would have been completely impossible for Prime Minister Zhuge's coffin to be safely transported back to Chengdu by the Shu Han soldiers on the front line of the battle, even if Prime Minister Zhuge
No matter how clever the plan is, who can completely predict what will happen after death?
Even if it was expected, didn't Cao Wei have a man who could match Zhuge Wolong's Tomb Tiger Sima Zhongda in ingenuity? How could he not have expected Zhuge Liang's coffin to be returned to Chengdu? After all, Zhuge Liang had already been inferred based on the information provided by the prisoners.
The food supply was dwindling day by day, and it was probably accurately judged that Zhuge's life was not long. If we could no longer infer that Zhuge was dead, how could he, Sima Zhongda, have experienced the flash of swords and swords in the Cao Wei court for so many years?
Such rhetoric was just to deceive others. There was a joke about a dead Sima scaring the living Zhongda to death, which made those in power in the Cao Wei court, especially the emperor Cao Rui, think that Sima Zhongda could be scared away by a dead man, so he was a person who could not achieve great things.
, no matter how powerful he is, it is not enough to become a trouble for the Cao family. It is okay to leave it to the young master Cao Fang. It is not a worry. Maybe Sima Zhongda, the Taifu who is on par with Wolong, can help him to unify Cao Wei and end this.
Hundreds of years of chaos,
What's more, Cao Fang is surrounded by Cao Shuang and a group of "smart and capable" people who are watching, assisting, and checking Sima Yi. With his courage to be scared away by the dead Zhuge, he can't make any waves in the Wei Dynasty, and his relationship with Sima Yi is still there.
Okay, and he was the one who assisted him, and he could suppress Sima Yi. I believe that the young master Cao Fang is not far behind. Although he is not his own blood, after all, he and he are still descendants of Emperor Wu Cao Cao.
Think about who Emperor Wu is? He is a man who can "start from scratch" with a few hundred people, and can "hold the emperor and command the princes" with lightning speed! It is not a problem to suppress a mere Sima Yi.
The prophecy of three horses in the same trough is nothing to worry about! At that time, Cao Rui thought so and was so confident. After all, as a master, those who can achieve great things must have such tolerance. Emperor Wu
Since it is pity to accommodate Xun Yu, Sima Fang and others who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, I should also tolerate Sima Yi and achieve great achievements like my ancestor Emperor Wu. After all, I am still very young now and in the prime of life.
Even if I can't do it myself, I still have a long time left for my successor.
But he never expected that Sima Yi would use the clothes of women sent by Zhuge to contain secret messages when Zhuge of the Shu Han Dynasty was still alive, and conspire with Zhuge to act out this scene to Cao Rui and the world.
Big drama! This was done very secretly. Only a few cronies around Sima Yi and a few cronies around Zhuge knew a little bit. Hou Ji was one of them.
On Zhuge's side, only Jiang Wei knew some inside information, that is, after receiving the clothes sent back by Sima Yi, Zhuge retreated late at night, and held the woman's clothes alone in the Chinese army's tent for a long time.
He held it under the dim and swaying light and observed it carefully. He laughed loudly and said: "Ha, ha, ha, Sima Zhongda is really good at strategy, calculation, and interesting. I didn't want to help you, but since I have already
Time is running out, so why not help you complete this plan? Let’s see how big a storm you can cause in Cao Wei in the future. Maybe our Shu Han people will also be of use to you, so I can keep you safe!...
....."
On that day, Jiang Wei was the only one who had permission from Prime Minister Zhuge to guard outside the big tent. He heard some things, but he was still confused and did not understand the meaning of what the prime minister said. Then Jiang Wei used the weak light in the tent to see the people on both sides of the tent.
In the light of the fire, the prime minister seemed to throw the clothes into the fire in front of him and burn them. The next day, Zhuge called everyone to arrange many matters for his return to Chengdu after his death. The arrangements were watertight in the eyes of the generals.
The generals of the Shu Han Dynasty only thought that the Prime Minister was a miraculous plan as usual, and did not realize that this was Zhuge's plan to confuse the world and allow Sima Yi to hide his clumsiness.
Of course, the housekeeper also knew that this was just one-sided words from Hou Ji. It was possible that things were just like what was shown to the world, and what Hou Ji said to him was just a way for Sima Yi to surrender to the Shu Han to show his loyalty and win people's hearts.
, this was also a wild guess in his heart. On the surface, he still expressed his master's admiration for Shu Han's meritorious service. After all, he was still holding someone else's job, wasn't he?
Thinking of this, the butler threw all these thoughts out of his mind, looked at the money in his hand again, and then put it into his sleeve. He thought to himself, he is just eating carrots first and not worrying. He is just a small butler, and he is still the master.
After buying it from Nanshi, I just took the extra money to do my own thing, and then walked quickly to the inner courtyard without losing the demeanor that a housekeeper should have. Although he was just a novice housekeeper, after a few years
A few months ago, I was still in the hands of human traffickers in Nanshi. I had eaten one meal without finishing another, and I was very hungry.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Chengdu was roughly divided into Dacheng, Shaocheng, Nanshi, Cheguancheng, Jinguancheng, military camps and other areas. The southern wall of the great city was about today's Shangnan Street; the northern wall was about today's Houzimen of the Imperial City;
The west wall is about the first line of Genzhong Street in the east city; the southwest corner is about the first line of the back street of the present Confucian Temple; the east wall is about the first line of the present Qingshi Bridge and Gulou Street.
In the first year of Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty (AD 221), Liu Bei, the emperor, located in the south of Wudan Mountain in Chengdu and used the big city as his palace. In the Han Dynasty and the Shu Han Dynasty, the big and small cities were not expanded, so Qin City was Han City. Although there were often repairs, they were all
Replenishing properties.
The north side of Shaocheng is the residential area, and the south side is the commercial district. The east wall of Shaocheng is about the first line of Gen Street in Dongcheng today; the west wall is about the first line of Changshun Street today; the south wall is about the first line of West Confucian Temple Street; and the north wall is
To the south of today's Dongmen Street, that is, near the first line of Changfa Street; Jinguan City is located on the south bank of Zuo Bridge, which is the area on the south bank of Jinjiang River outside Xijiachang today. Cheguan City has frequent transportation and many roads, so Cheguan City was set up, and a city ring was built where it was located.
There are military camps and fortresses all around the city, which shows that it is a military industrial area, and the servants in Sima Mansion are all bought from Nanshi. After all, such people are cleaner and safer to use, and they cannot be trusted by others.
