Chapter 565 Morality is not appropriate
"I swear I will kill you!"
Sun Quan was so angry that he drew his sword and split the table in front of him in half, making his teeth chatter.
"Send an order to Lu Xun, the governor of Jingzhou, and order him to find out where the Korean thief is fleeing. If he can be intercepted halfway, he must be stopped at any cost, life or death!"
“No!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
Sun Quan, who had always taken advantage of others, suddenly suffered such a loss. He was so angry that he almost went crazy. He waved his sword and chopped the case that had been broken into two into dozens of pieces.
Some people from Soochow went to the north and defected to Wei, and some people from Shu also defected to Wei.
Guo Mo crossed the Han River in a light boat and was intercepted by soldiers from Weixing County patrolling the river mouth.
Facing the swords and guns of the soldiers, Guo Mo was not afraid. He just listened to him calmly and said, "A certain person came from Shu with urgent military information. He wants to inform Governor Shen. Please report it as soon as possible."
The soldier asked, "How can you prove that you are a meticulous worker?"
Guo Mo took out an official seal from his arms and said, "This is the official seal of the pseudo-Shu. If you don't know it, let Prefect Shen try to identify it. The year before last, there was also a king Chong from Shu who abandoned Shu and it was mine. An acquaintance.”
"You pass this thing and these words to Prefect Shen, and it will be up to Prefect Shen to decide whether you will see me or not."
The soldiers received the official seal and already believed it three points in their hearts. Now that they heard the other party mention that someone had defected to the Wei Dynasty the year before, they believed it three points more.
"Okay, I will send someone to inform the prefect first. Before the **** sends the order, please forgive me for a while."
The leading soldier nodded and escorted Guo Mo towards the west city.
When Shen Yi got the news from his subordinates, he thought it was another person from Shu who wanted to defect to the Wei Dynasty, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, Guo Mo brought him a surprising news: Meng Da, the governor of Xincheng County, had secretly communicated with the Shu and Wu captives and wanted to betray the Wei Dynasty.
Shen Yi was shocked at first, and then overjoyed.
The Shen family was originally a wealthy family in the Shangyong area. When the world was in chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Shen family was the local emperor in the Shangyong area.
When Zhang Lu separatized Hanzhong, the Shen family first exchanged news with Zhang Lu. Later, after Zhang Lu was destroyed by Cao Cao, the Shen family turned to Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, the passing of time was unfavorable. Within a few years, Hanzhong changed hands for the third time and fell into the hands of Liu Bei.
Liu Bei sent Liu Feng and Meng Da down the Han River to attack Shangyong, but the Shen family had to surrender to Liu Bei again.
I don’t know if the ancestral graves of the Shen family were buried in the wrong direction. Before they could settle down for two years, Mengda rebelled against Shu and defected to Wei, so the Shen family returned to Wei again.
This incident was repeated, causing much trouble for the Shen family. Mengda was favored by Cao Pi. Cao Pi combined the three counties of Fangling, Shangyong and Xicheng into a new county and appointed Mengda as the prefect.
The Shen family, a local snake in Shangyong, only lost one prefect of Weixing County, and the family's base was in the hands of Meng Da.
Shen Yi did not dare to speak out against Cao Pi publicly, but she never concealed her resentment towards Meng Da.
Now that I heard that Meng Da secretly communicated with Wu and Shu, is there any reason not to be overjoyed?
He sent someone to **** Guo Mo to Wancheng overnight, told the governor of Jingzhou and the hussar general Sima Yi about the matter, and at the same time publicized Meng Da's rebellion.
Sima Yi received the news about Shen Yi and Guo Mo who was sent over. He smiled calmly at first and prepared a banquet for Guo Mo himself. He didn't look anxious at all.
Seeing this, Guo Mo couldn't help but feel worried secretly, and asked tentatively, "Why is the general so calm? Could it be that he has a countermeasure?"
"I have indeed already prepared a countermeasure." Sima Yi smiled slightly, "Before I left Luoyang, Liu Shizhong warned me that Mengda had rebelled and told me to be on guard. Therefore, when I arrived in Wancheng, I had already made preparations and waited for today."
Guo Mo was surprised and asked, "Who is that Liu Shizhong?"
"He is the great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang. He has the talent to help others and is good at understanding people."
“I see, when I come to Luoyang, if I have a chance, I must pay him a visit.”
After hearing this, Guo Mo had a look of surprise on his face, but secretly cursed in his heart, "Who is this? It turns out to be Liu Laozu, who has forgotten his ancestors and betrayed his ancestors!"
After sending Guo Mo away, Sima Yi, who had a calm face at first, darkened, and smashed the things on the table to pieces. The calm and elegant look in front of Guo Mo was all gone, and he could only be heard saying angrily. He cursed, "Meng Da is a villain, Shen Yi is stupid!"
"Didn't your Excellency say that you were prepared in case Meng Da happened? Why are you so angry?"
Sima Shi asked from the side.
"It's 1,200 miles from Wancheng to Xincheng. Even if I'm prepared, I still have time to get there. That Shen Yi didn't know what he was doing, and he publicized Meng Da's secret communication with Shu and Wu. Isn't this forceful? Do you want Mengda to rebel as soon as possible? If the Wancheng army cannot catch up by then, the southwest will become a serious problem for the country!"
Sima Yi said with great anger.
“Isn’t this ritual self-defeating?”
Sima Shi was shocked.
"He is not self-defeating, but deliberately forcing Meng Da to rebel!" Sima Yi sneered, "The Shen family has long been established in Xincheng, and Meng Da was a newcomer at that time. Logically speaking, he should be the one to take the post of governor of Xincheng. Just sit down."
"I didn't know that the late emperor favored Mengda and entrusted him to the southwest. Although he is the prefect of Wei Xing, he is actually under Mengda. How can you endure it? You can't wait to drive Mengda away as soon as possible."
When Master Sima heard this, he understood and immediately cursed, "It is extremely selfish to ignore national affairs for your own benefit! Doesn't he harm your Excellency by doing this?"
Sima Yi is a wily and calculating person after all. He quickly calmed down his emotions and focused on the important matters at hand.
After a long time, he finally revealed his deep eyes and said slowly, "Mengda, you are a profit-seeking disciple!"
"He is in the Wei Dynasty, but he first communicated with Shu and then Wu. It can be seen that he is thinking about how to get the maximum benefit at this time. We should march quickly to deal with his people before he makes up his mind."
“Sir, what should we do?”
"I will write a letter to him first to comfort him with good words, and I will hold him back for the time being. You quickly go and order the troops, with the horse army going first, traveling day and night, and sneaking in secret."
“No!”
Mengda was very frightened when he heard that someone had revealed that he had secretly communicated with Shu and Wu. He was about to take action immediately, but he suddenly received a letter from Sima Yi.
The letter states:
In the past, the general abandoned Liu Bei and devoted himself to righteousness. The late emperor appointed the general to take charge of the battlefield, and appointed the general to the southwest to conquer Shu. It can be said that he was sincere and honest with the general.
The people of Pseudo-Sichuan really hate the general. Zhuge Liang wanted revenge, but he was helpless against the general. Guo Mo's words are of great significance. How could Zhuge Liang easily let others listen? This is obviously a counter-measure. General, don't believe the rumors.
Mengda finally felt relieved after reading the letter.
At the same time, I was still in the mood to write a letter to Zhuge Liang:
Wancheng is 800 miles away from Luoyang and 1,200 miles away from Xincheng. Even if Sima Yi hears about my actions, he will still report to the emperor. This time, it will take at least a month.
One month is enough for me to fortify the city. Moreover, the new city is located in a remote area, so Sima Yi will definitely not come in person, but will only send someone else to lead the army. Among the generals in Jingzhou, I am only afraid of Sima Yi. If other generals come over, I will be safe.
Just when Meng Da was ignorant and Sima Yi led his army in a hurry, the palace of Wei State was filled with joy.
Because one and a half years after the new emperor ascended the throne, he finally confirmed the appointment of a queen in the last month of the first year of Taihe.
It's just that the choice of this queen was beyond the expectations of the courtiers.
The Yu family in Hedong was from a well-known family. When Cao Rui was the king of Pingyuan, Cao Pi personally selected the princess for him.
When Cao Rui became the crown prince, Yu became the crown princess.
Everyone thought that it was natural for the Yu family to be made queen, but they didn't know that the queen Cao Rui appointed was Mao, who was from a humble background.
Everyone in the palace went to congratulate Queen Mao, except Yu who stayed alone in her palace and never showed up.
The utensils in the palace were scattered on the ground. Mrs. Yu was trembling all over, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was distorted, and she looked ferocious. Her usual dignity and elegance had long since disappeared.
I saw the veins on her forehead protruding like earthworms, the handkerchief in her hand had been torn into rags, and she kept cursing, "Bitch! Bitch!"
She behaves like a mad woman.
“Madam, the Queen Mother is here.”
The personal maid came in tremblingly and reported.
Yu Shi stood up suddenly, slapped the palace maid directly, slapped the palace maid to the ground on the spot, and said angrily, "What is she here for? Come to see my joke?"
The maid's mouth was bleeding, but she ignored the pieces of utensils on the ground and knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.
“You are from the Yu family in Hedong, from a famous family, and you are the wife of the emperor. Who dares to laugh at you?”
Empress Dowager Bian walked in on her own a long time ago. Seeing that the palace was in a mess, she frowned and said, "You look like you have lost your dignity."
"Famous and well-known? Who is not watching the jokes of the Cao family nowadays? Everyone in the palace is laughing to death. Even if I am famous and well-known in the palace, what's the use?"
Yu Shi sneered and said sarcastically.
Mrs. Bian looked at the woman in front of her. She used to think that this woman was virtuous and dignified. Today, she came here to comfort her. I didn't expect that she would turn out like this, and suddenly I felt that she was a little annoying.
She first ordered the maids and chamberlains, "All of you, get out."
Then he said to Mrs. Yu, "I know you are feeling unfair, but you are from a prominent family anyway, so you should think carefully before speaking out some words. What do you mean by making fun of the Cao family? Let the emperor know that you say such things. , if you **** him off, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to keep your position as wife.”
However, Mrs. Yu ignored Mr. Bian's good intentions and pointed at herself, "The Empress Dowager knows that I come from a noble family. I also know that I am the wife of the late Emperor who personally proposed to His Majesty. Dare I ask the Empress Dowager, I will marry myself." Have you ever behaved inappropriately since you entered the Cao family?"
“Of course not.”
"Since there is nothing wrong, it is not the crime of betraying his wife. He has been neglecting me, and I have tolerated it. But now, he would rather make a **** his queen than make an upright wife his queen. Isn't this a case of pampering my concubine? Destroying his wife? Isn’t he afraid that people in the world will laugh at him because he doesn’t know etiquette?”
"Mao is now the Empress of the Wei Dynasty. She must be a bitch. You'd better pay attention to your speech and don't lose your words."
Ms. Bian suppressed her impatience and persuaded her.
Mrs. Yu was so angry that she lost her mind. When she saw the empress dowager in front of her recognizing Mao as the queen, she sneered and said, "Ms. Cao has always been good at setting up bad guys. She has never thought about selecting people based on virtue." , I’m telling the truth, what’s wrong with me?”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bian finally couldn't suppress the anger in her heart and scolded loudly, "You are so presumptuous!"
Yu Shi held her head high, not afraid at all, "The Empress Dowager should know whether I am presumptuous or not!"
Of course Bian knew it, but just because he knew that what Yu said hit the Cao family's pain points, he immediately scolded her and stopped her from talking any more.
Cao Cao had two wives in his early years, one Mrs. Ding, who was his original wife, and another Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu gave birth to a son and a daughter to Cao Cao, but she died young.
So the principal wife, Mrs. Ding, raised her children and treated them as her own children. This was Cao Ang and later Princess Qinghe.
Later, when Cao Cao attacked Wancheng, he made a "Widow.AVI" and forced Zhang Xiu to surrender.
So Cao Ang, Dian Wei, Cao Anmin and others died because of Cao Cao's "little people are ill".
This made Mrs. Ding very angry, and she kept crying and asking Cao A to hide her from Cao Ang.
It's a pity that Boss Cao doesn't know the resurrection technique, and he was annoyed by Mrs. Ding's crying, so he sent her directly back to her parents' house, thinking that she would be out of sight.
After some days, Cao Cao eagerly ran to find someone else, hoping to get back together. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ding was a strong-tempered woman and would not look at Cao A's eyes at all.
Cao Cao lost face and could not persuade her to return home, so he had to write a letter of divorce. At the same time, he also asked the Ding family to help her choose someone to marry.
Let’s not talk about whether the Ding family has the courage. Even if the Ding family dares to marry, no one dares to marry.
So Mrs. Ding has been single all her life without any reason.
Bian was Cao Cao's concubine. She was originally a champion of excellence, but she came from a humble background. Mrs. Ding made such a fuss, so Bian was promoted by Cao Cao and became the main wife, and even the queen, empress dowager, and empress dowager. .
After Cao Cao's death, his son Cao Pi followed suit.
Cao Pi's first wife was Mrs. Zhen, who was from a prominent family in Hebei. She was originally the wife of Yuan Xi. After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Pi followed Cao Cao into Yecheng and broke into the Yuan Mansion first. Seeing Mrs. Zhen's beauty, he took advantage of her and raped her. Take her as your wife.
It is a pity that Cao Pi likes the new and hates the old. After a few years, he favored Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yin.
Empress Zhen complained a few times, and was sentenced to death by Cao Pi. She was also ordered to have her face covered and her mouth stuffed with chaff, hoping to permanently lock her soul and leave her nowhere to redress her grievances.
Cao Pi conferred the death of Empress Zhen, and established Mrs. Guo as empress, who is now the empress dowager.
Empress Guo’s family background was originally good, and her father was the governor of Nanjun. Unfortunately, she lost her parents at a young age, suffered a war, and was displaced. She even had to live in other people’s homes, and eventually became a maid.
But after entering the East Palace, she was greatly favored by Cao Pi, soared to the sky, and finally snatched the position of queen from Empress Zhen.
As for the third generation of the Cao family, Cao Rui, now he has followed the same path as the previous two generations in this matter.
Empress Mao was born into a family of craftsmen. Her father was a craftsman who repaired cars and drove cars for people, and he came from a humble background.
She was originally a concubine, but now she has surpassed the Yu family, the principal wife, who was from a prominent family in Hedong, and became the queen.
Throughout the three generations of the Cao family, they all abandoned their original wives to support concubines who were of low birth. Therefore, the Yu family's statement that "the Cao family likes to establish sluts" actually made the Empress Dowager feel ashamed and angry, as if she had been stabbed in the heart. One knife, because she is also one of the **** in Yu's mouth.
Seeing Mrs. Bian being blocked and unable to speak, Mrs. Yu only felt a sense of pleasure.
At this point, she doesn’t care whether she makes a mistake or not. The position of the most noble queen is gone. What else does she have to lose?
I could only hear her saying to Mr. Bian, "The movement of heaven and earth has its own rules. Since the emperor is the lord of all people, he should comply with the laws of heaven and earth. The queen is in charge of everything in the palace, and the emperor is in charge of the world's affairs. These two They are complementary to each other.”
"Today, the three generations of the Cao family have all taken concubines as their wives. The **** ascended to the throne because of their favor, and suddenly became rich and placed themselves above the main family. The emperor himself set such a bad example, and chaos started from the top, and the ministers and the people Is there any reason not to follow suit? This is a loss of virtue."
"Since things in this world didn't have a good start, and they still don't repent, it's hard to say that there will be a good outcome. Today, the concubines are bullying the main wife. If someone follows this example in the future and bullies the superiors, or even the emperor with his ministers, It’s all Cao’s fault.”
"The glory of a gentleman can be cut off in five generations, but the glory of a non-gentleman can last for three generations, which is already rare. If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. In the future, the Cao family will probably be subjugated and mourned, and the country and the country founded by their ancestors will be ruined. There’s a disaster!”
After what Yu said, Bian was angry and frightened.
I am angry because the other person’s vicious words are spoken, but I am afraid that what the other person says is very reasonable.
It's a pity that she also comes from a humble background. When it comes to great principles, who is the opponent of the Yu family who comes from a famous family?
At this moment, his face was full of anger, and he turned around and left.
Yushi's words soon reached Cao Rui's ears. He was furious on the spot and deposed Yu to Ye Palace, vowing never to see each other again.
After Yu said these words, he knew that there was no way to survive. He was already waiting for death, but he didn't expect that he could still survive.
When she left Luoyang, she looked back at the majestic palace with a victorious smile on her face: This emperor seemed sensible and wise, but that was just a surface covering up his inner inferiority.
The so-called never meet each other, I'm afraid it's because I don't dare to see myself, right?
It’s okay if this person doesn’t succeed in his ambition. Once he succeeds in his ambition, he will only indulge his inner desires and is not a virtuous king!
