Chapter nine hundred and sixty fifth alliance matters
Seeing Zhou You being killed, Jing Zhaoyin was the first to react, pointed his finger at the young soldier, and shouted loudly: "Get him! Get him quickly!"
With a crash, the soldiers outside poured in one after another. The young soldier pulled out the sword from Zhou You, looked up to the sky and sighed: "The great revenge has been avenged! Haha, today, I will die with peace of mind!"
As he spoke, he used his wrist to place the sword in front of his neck, and without any hesitation, he wiped it down.
Crack! Plop!
The sword fell to the ground, and immediately after, the bodies of the young soldiers fell straight to the ground. When the soldiers who rushed in came closer, they saw only two corpses. People were stunned. After a while, Fang turned to look at Jing Zhao.
Yin.
Jing Zhaoyin seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He stood up and fell back to the couch, unable to recover for a long time.
This was the assassination of Zhou You which caused a sensation at the time.
The whole thing is unbelievable. He traveled around Feng Weixiao as an envoy to Luoyang, but he only got as far as Chang'an, where he was stabbed to death. The strange thing is that he did not die outside Chang'an, but inside the city of Chang'an.
Died in Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
You must know that Jing Zhaoyin treated Zhou You as an honored guest. The Chang'an officials headed by Jing Zhaoyin also specially hosted a banquet to entertain Zhou You. The assassination incident must have nothing to do with Jing Zhaoyin, but Zhou You did die in Jing Zhaoyin.
Yin Mansion.
The soldier who assassinated Zhou You was named Wang Bao, and he was indeed a soldier of Jingzhao Yin Mansion. Moreover, he had been working in Jingzhao Yin Mansion for a long time, for two years. No one knew that he had a bloody feud with Zhou You before.
Zhou You was assassinated by his enemies in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, which frightened Jing Zhaoyin and Chang'an officials. Jing Zhaoyin sent a letter to Luoyang and reported the incident to Liu Xiu in detail.
The news reached Luoyang, and the Luoyang court was also shocked. No matter who Zhou You was killed by, or whether he died at the hands of his enemies, in short, he was killed in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion in Chang'an, and we are responsible for Zhou You's death.
Have direct responsibility.
Liu Xiu and the ministers discussed how the matter should be handled, and both Fu Zhan and Song Hong advocated that the court should make corresponding compensation.
Wu Han was not happy when he heard this. He said in a deep voice: "Zhou You died at the hands of his enemies, and the enemy who killed him has already committed suicide. Why should our government pay compensation?"
Fu Zhan said meaningfully: "But Zhou You died in Chang'an after all, in Jingzhao Yin Mansion!"
Wu Han said nonchalantly: "It's his own misfortune!"
Fu Zhan saw that he could not make sense with Wu Han, so he turned to Liu Xiu and said: "Your Majesty, the Western Expedition Army is currently fighting Lu Fang in Dai County, and the three assistants are empty!"
At this time, what one side should do should be to reduce major issues to minor issues, and should not intensify the conflicts between the two sides.
Wu Han said disapprovingly: "Even if the third auxiliary is empty, if Wei Xiao dares to invade the third auxiliary, I, Wu Han, am willing to personally lead the troops to conquer Wei Xiao!"
Song Hong said: "Da Sima, 'The first step is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the third is to attack the city.' If many things can be solved without fighting, we should try our best to avoid the occurrence of a war between the two armies."
After a pause, he looked at Liu Xiu and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Wei Xiao is willing to send an envoy to Luoyang, which shows that he is still attached to Your Majesty. At present, Wei Xiao cannot be called the enemy of the imperial court. The biggest enemy of the imperial court
The first is Gongsun Shu and the second is Lu Fang. Wei Xiao should at least be ranked behind them. It is really not a wise move to turn against Wei Xiao now!"
Wu Han wanted to speak, but Deng Yu came out and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Zhou Fang's mission to Luoyang? At that time, there were people who wanted to kill Zhou Fang and destroy the relationship between Luoyang and Liangzhou. Now Zhou You is assassinated. If he is assassinated because of this,
To make Luoyang and Liangzhou at odds with each other is probably to allow people with ulterior motives to get what they want."
After hearing his words, Wu Han blushed. Is Deng Yu talking about himself? He cleared his throat unnaturally and shouted dissatisfied: "General Right is saying..."
Before he could finish his words, Deng Yu said: "Don't get me wrong, Grand Sima. The people who wanted to kill Zhou Fang at that time were not the same group of people. I thought Zhou You's death was just a continuation of the Zhou Fang incident."
Liu Xiu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Then, what do you think, General You?"
Deng Yu said sternly: "Your Majesty, I think what Situ and Sikong said is reasonable. Given the current situation, it is really not appropriate for our country to be at odds with Kaixiao. Regarding Zhou You's assassination, your Majesty should comfort Kaixiao with kind words and give him a certain degree of certainty."
compensation."
Liu Xiu thought for a while, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay!" He turned to look at Yao Qi and said, "Wei Wei."
"I'm here!" Yao Qi came out of the queue and bowed his hands.
"Next time, we can arrange some manpower to send a batch of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin to Tianshui Longcheng, and also send my letter."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Because the Western Expeditionary Army was fighting in Daijun and the three assistants were empty, Zhou You died in Chang'an at this time. Liu Xiu did not want to break with Kaixiao at this time, so he adopted the opinions of Deng Yu, Fu Zhan, Song Hong and others.
, decided to send a batch of treasures to Wei Xiao as compensation to resolve the matter.
Yao Qi is a Wei Wei and is in charge of Huben. Naturally, the subordinates he dispatches are all Huben troops.
This group of Huben troops, numbering a hundred and ten men in total, escorted the gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins that Liu Xiu gave to Wei Xiao. They set out from Luoyang and headed west to Liangzhou.
Zhouyou went to Luoyang as an envoy, but an accident happened on the way. The Huben army escorted the treasure to Liangzhou, but an accident happened on the way.
When Huben passed by Hongnong, he stayed in the post house. As a result, when people woke up the next day, all the gold, silver, jewelry, silk and silk they had transported were missing.
Realizing that the matter was serious, Huben's army immediately called the officials at the post house and asked them to explain what was going on.
The officials in the post house all looked surprised and confused. They knelt down one after another and kowtowed to express that they did not know anything.
The leader of the Huben army was furious and immediately called the county magistrate and asked the county soldiers to search for his stolen items throughout the city.
The county soldiers searched the city for two days and found not a single hair. The gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins they had escorted seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
There was no time to delay here, so Junhou Hu Ben had no choice but to take his subordinates back to Luoyang and apologize to Liu Xiu.
Zhou You went to Luoyang as an envoy, died, and the compensation Liu Xiu gave to Wei Xiao was lost. This series of events seems to be independent events, but if you look deeper, you can see that there are thousands of things involved.
Inextricably linked.
It seems that there is an invisible black hand controlling all this, and its purpose is to completely worsen the relationship between Luoyang and Liangzhou.
This is indeed the actual situation.
When Wei Xiao heard the news that Zhou You had been killed, and that he had been killed in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion in Chang'an, the first thing he thought of was that the matter was inseparable from Luoyang. Maybe Liu Xiu had issued a secret edict, and asked Jingzhao Yin of Chang'an to wait for an opportunity to kill him.
Travel around.
Zhou You and Kai Xiao had a very good relationship. They were both confidants and best friends. Zhou You's death made Kai Xiao scratch his intestines and hate Liu Xiu so much that his teeth itched.
However, a few days later, Chang'an Jing Zhaoyin sent him a letter, saying that His Majesty was also shocked and saddened by Zhou You's assassination, and decided to send a generous compensation to Liangzhou.
After reading this letter from Jing Zhaoyin, Wei Xiao finally felt better. As a result, he couldn't wait to receive compensation from Luoyang, and he still couldn't wait to receive compensation from Luoyang. Later, when he sent someone to inquire, he found out that it turned out that
Liu Xiu sent out a team to transport compensation. When they reached Hongnong, they turned around and headed back home.
The local people did not know about the theft of gold, silver and jewelry. It was impossible for the Tiger Army to spread the news about such a shameful thing to the outside world. Instead, they would do their best to block the news.
I heard that Liu Xiu had obviously sent someone to transport the compensation to Liangzhou, but halfway there, he turned around and went back. The anger that had just calmed down was suddenly boiling over the top of his head.
What does it mean to bully others too much? Liu Xiu is bullying others too much!
If you don’t want my envoys to go to Luoyang, you can tell me directly why they were sent to intercept and kill them halfway. If you don’t want to compensate me, you can also tell me why they were sent back halfway and then called back.
Liu Xiu doesn’t even want to give himself any face now!
Wei Xiao was in his own house, jumping up and down in anger and scolding Liu Xiu for being ruthless and a complete villain.
When his power was weak and he was surrounded by strong enemies on all sides, he surrendered to Liu Xiu and helped Liu Xiu defeat the Red Eyebrow Army. He also helped the Han Army capture Sanfu in one fell swoop and consolidated the western border.
Now that Liu Xiu has grown up, he wants to kill the donkey and put himself to death. This is extremely shameless.
In Kaixiao's heart, all he thought about was Liu Xiu's bad treatment of him, but he never thought that he had obviously submitted to Liu Xiu, but he took Liu Xiu's imperial edict as fart, went his own way, and refused to obey the imperial edict. He really
Did he regard Liu Xiu as the emperor? Or did he really regard himself as a minister?
If a person wants to rebel, he can find thousands of reasons, and Zhou You's assassination and Liu Xiu's compensation for being stolen are just introductions.
When Wei Xiao was furious in his house, Gongsun Shu's envoy and Mo Yan came to visit again and once again proposed the alliance between the two parties to Wei Xiao.
This time, Wei Xiao made a clear statement. He said that he could accept the alliance with Gongsun Shu, but since it was an alliance, there had to be a person in charge, that is, the leader of the alliance. So, it was he, Wei Xiao, who made the decision.
Alliance leader, or should Gongsun Shu be the alliance leader?
The attitude of the envoy is also very clear. You, Weixiao, are just a prince, but Gongsun Shu is the emperor. The emperor and the princes form an alliance, so of course the person in charge must be the emperor. However, Weixiao also has advantages and can be crowned king. Moreover, Gongsun Shu has him
I have already thought about the royal titles, King Shuoning.
After hearing what the messenger said, Wei Xiao fell into deep thought and said nothing for a long time.
Now his and Gongsun Shu's status is equal. He owns Liangzhou and Gongsun Shu has Youzhou. They are both the masters of the same state. But after forming an alliance, Gongsun Shu becomes the master and he becomes the servant. This is in line with his dependence.
What's the difference between Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu?
The envoy saw what Wei Xiao was thinking, smiled slightly, and said: "Kai Xiao joined Liu Xiu and got an inconspicuous title. But how many princes are there in the world today? There is not a single prince in the Luoyang court alone.
Hundreds, there are dozens, and Duke Wei is just one of them. And if Duke Wei submits to Your Majesty, he will be the king. The majestic King Shuoning is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."
Wei Xiao's eyes flashed, this was indeed what made his heart move. He really looked down upon the mere title of a prince, but if he could get the throne, it would be different. He would be a king!
"What's more, Liu Xiu is now suspicious and full of hostility towards Duke Wei. The reason why Liu Xiu has not taken action against Duke Wei yet is just because the Western Expeditionary Army was held back by Lu Fang in the north. When the war in the north is over, Liu Xiukong takes action.
Come on, the next unlucky one will be Duke Wei! Forging an alliance with Your Majesty is the best way out for Duke Wei. I hope Duke Wei will think twice!"
The envoy sent by Gongsun Shu was indeed eloquent and had clear ideas. What he said was clear and convincing.
Mo Yan, disguised as a follower, knelt and sat in the back with his head lowered and the corners of his mouth raised in a smile.
As long as Wei Xiao is not a fool, as long as he still has some sense, he will definitely accept the alliance with our side, and he will definitely accept Gongsun Shu as the leader of the alliance.
