Xiahou Xuan's biological mother was the head of Deyang Township and the sister of the late Cao Zhen.
It is also because of this relationship that when Cao Zhen lamented before his death that "there is no general in charge of the Qiao Pei Yuan today", he ordered the emperor Cao Rui to love his family and promote Xiahou Xuan, who had long since moved to the left, to guard Chang'an for future use.
Xia Houxuan, who knew that he no longer had the protection of his elders, cherished this opportunity.
I dare not say that I have worked hard since I took office, but I have never neglected it, so I deserve it.
However, the Han army suddenly burst out from Ziwu Valley, completely turning his efforts into a bygone event.
Although, if the Luoyang Temple is held accountable for this matter, it will first be the negligence of the Southern General Wang Chang, then the unpreparedness of the Yongliang Governor Sima Yi, and finally his negligence.
But at certain times, things cannot be judged according to common sense.
Whether it is Wang Chang or Sima Yi, they are all the vassals of the country that supervise the war.
At the time when the rebels against Shu were rebelling against Wu, the emperor Cao Rui could not express his stern condemnation in order to prevent the guards from doubting their self-confidence and the authority of the governor.
At most, the matter can be revealed after a verbal declaration.
But Xiahou Xuan, who was the garrison of Chang'an, was not like that.
His authority could be replaced by any of the governors of Yongzhou or any of the generals of Yongliang. It was destined that he was the best candidate for Luoyang Temple to declare the military law of "rewards must be rewarded and punishments must be punished".
He knew it himself.
However, at that time, he still had luck in his heart.
It was not that Emperor Cao Rui would show favoritism to him, but that Sima Yi would go to Luoyang to help him share the blame and fight for him to continue to stay in Chang'an. Just like after Fei Yao's defeat in the Lu River valley, Sima Yi went to Luoyang to order him to stay. Staying in the army to supervise troops will give you the opportunity to wash away your defeat and make a comeback.
But things went counterproductive.
Not only did Sima Yi not go to Luoyang, but he sent Guanqiu Jian, the governor of Yongzhou, to garrison Chang'an and took away his military power.
Make him a laughing stock!
Yes, the laughing stock!
"What a pity! Bo Ren is a famous general, and so are the famous people of later generations. However, the defense was poorly prepared and he collapsed at the last moment. Is this an exaggeration of the name?"
These were the words people mocked him in the Chang'an market after he lost military power.
The contempt for him is like the words of Cao Cao, the former Wei Dynasty warrior, "If Liu Jingsheng's son is the son of a dolphin, he has the ears of a dog."
After Xiahou Xuande heard about it, he was very angry with Sima Yi.
In other words, he did neglect his duties and deserved his punishment.
As the governor of Yongliang, Sima Yi needed to take into account the overall situation of the war, so it was inevitable that rewards and punishments should be clearly defined.
However, from Xia Houxuan's point of view, it was the Sima family that had betrayed their loyalty to his family!
This has to start with the origins of the two families.
In the early days, Xia Houshang and Sima Yi were both Emperors of the Han Dynasty, Cao Pishan, so it was a good idea for the two families to marry their children.
Later, Sima Yi oversaw the military affairs of the two states of Jing and Henan, and for this reason he gained the favor of Xiahou Shang's old tribe. However, as the power of the Sima family grew stronger, he became more and more harsh on the Xiahou family.
For example, Xia Houhui, the wife of Master Sima and sister of Xia Houxuan, died suddenly and without explanation in Luoyang where famous doctors gathered!
And only one year after the death of Xiahou Hui, Sima Shi married Wu Zhi's daughter.
Wu Zhi, one of the four friends of Emperor Wen.
At that time, Cao Pi held the banner of Jiedou You and unified the military affairs of various states. Later, he was recalled by Cao Rui to the central government and served as the assistant minister.
He once praised Sima Yi to Cao Rui as a minister of the country and claimed that Sikong and Chen Qun were not talented prime ministers. This statement was accepted by Cao Rui and he issued an edict.
Master Sima accepted the Wu family as his successor, which was regarded as repaying one word of virtue.
But it was precisely because of this incident that Xia Houxuan felt that the Sima family's actions had no credibility at all!
Because the Wu family had only been in the family for a few months, he was deposed by Sima Shi on the grounds of immorality! He was deposed in the morning, and in the evening he went to discuss marriage with the Taiyang family of a high-ranking official family in Guandong!
How could Xiahou Xuan, who had grown up in Luoyang when he was young and was among the emperor's powerful people, not understand this behavior?
Master Sima deposed the Wu family because he despised her for being immoral~~
Apparently after marrying the Wu family, he discovered that the originally powerful Wu family (Wu Zhi was dead) had long since declined and could no longer benefit the Sima family, so he abandoned it and moved to the Xuntai Yang family.
Therefore, Xia Houxuan now feels the same for the Wu family.
He felt that his family was like the Wu family, which was abandoned because its power was far behind the Sima family, so Sima Yi dealt with him without any mercy.
My anger is beyond words.
Naturally, he also knew that anger could not change the facts.
When he had nothing to do after losing his military power, he came up with a strategy to save himself: he went to Luoyang, took the blame for the crime himself, and asked to be relieved of the duty of guarding Chang'an.
It can be considered as taking a step back as a way to make progress.
Anyway, with his military power taken away, he is no longer worthy of his name.
Instead of waiting for Luoyang Temple to pursue the responsibility according to the law, it is better to ask for the blame first.
In this way, the emperor Cao Rui and the Luoyang Gongun guilds secretly commended him for being Sima Yi, and Wang Chang felt responsible. They would also take into account the past achievements of Xia Houshang and Cao Zhen and give him a lenient sentence.
In fact, he made the right bet.
With the advice of Gong Gong, although Cao Rui never liked him, he still allowed him to return to Luoyang with the official position of Sanqi Huangmen Shilang.
Sanqi Huangmen Shilang was the first official position that Xiahou Xuancheng received from his father's favor.
In other words, Cao Rui nullified his previous displeasure and Cao Zhen's emotion on his deathbed, and gave him the opportunity to embark on an official career again as the successor of Qiao Pei Yuanxun.
Xia Houxuan knew this very well.
And encourage myself to work diligently in the future, not only to live up to the emperor's mercy and restore the reputation of my father's generation, but also to have the opportunity to seek justice from the Sima family one day!
Therefore, before leaving for Luoyang, he finally felt in the mood to meet someone.
He is famous at a young age and has many admirers.
There is no shortage of talented people who come here in admiration and seek to be entrusted with their lives.
During his stay in Chang'an, his disciples often asked about people's feelings in the market, so they got to know a scholar from a poor family in Jizhou.
As the two got along with each other for a longer period of time, his subordinates also felt that the poor man was a talented person, so they looked for opportunities to introduce him to him.
It's just that he didn't summon him because he was busy with affairs and was upset because of losing military power. Now that he is leaving Chang'an, he should summon him.
If he is a talented person, he might as well introduce him to his disciples to benefit his career.
His name is Shi Bao, and he is from Bohai, Jizhou.
He has a beautiful appearance, extraordinary knowledge, and is quite famous. However, due to his humble background, he was a small official, depressed and frustrated, and tried to make a living by selling iron.
Later, the Luoyang Temple decided to move Li Shu to Jizhou to serve as the third assistant in Guanzhong. In order to seek opportunities and convenient employment, Shi Bao was assigned to Jing Zhaoyin. The government, based on his past experience, granted him the title of a small official in the market as before.
Shi Bao, who had no talent and was unable to find an official position, had no choice but to continue selling iron in Chang'an City in order to make a name for himself and wait for the opportunity.
That's how I got to know Xia Houxuan's disciples.
After being recruited, Xiahou Xuanfu was delighted when he saw him.
When asked about the current strategy, Shi Bao responded fluently and was enlightened by his knowledge, but Xia Houxuan did not know why he left the table in the middle of the meeting. He blamed the recommended disciples and said: "Our sect should welcome heroes from all over the world, how can we attract Iron Houser to see him!" "
