Three Kingdoms

Chapter 59: Roundabout Persuasion

The deposed emperor Liu Bian was robbed. Although it was unsuccessful, the government and the public were also shocked.

Although Liu Bian was eventually intercepted by Lu Bu, Queen Mother He died in the rebellion, and the whereabouts of Liu Bian's concubine Tang Ji are unknown...

Lu Bu, who personally experienced the scene, identified the robber as Cao Cao. Immediately, Dong Zhuo ordered an arrest at Cao Cao's home, only to find that except for some servants and slaves, everyone in the Cao family had disappeared from the building and was nowhere to be found...

Dong Zhuo was furious and ordered Cao Cao to be wanted throughout the country. He plastered Cao Cao's portrait with thick eyebrows and small eyes all over the city, and declared: "Whoever captures Cao Cao will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and will be granted the title of Marquis of ten thousand households!"

I don’t know who claimed that Yuan Shu, Yuan Wei’s nephew, was also involved in this matter. However, firstly, witness Lu Bu and the Nangong guards said that they did not see Yuan Shu appear. Secondly, the physical evidence cannot prove it just by relying on a letter without beginning or end. What, coupled with the fact that Yuan Wei burst into tears and complained that he was wronged, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to give up and not pursue the case.

At this point, the three top senior government officials in Luoyang City, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao, all fled Luoyang one after another and began their steps as local warlords.

Because of his meritorious service, Lu Bu was granted the title of Marquis Wen, blessed Jinwu, and was rewarded with a thousand gold coins...

Afterwards, Lu Bu also sent someone to bring a message to Fei Qian - thank you for your wise brother's guidance in finding Fang Tian's painted halberd, and you will be able to make an appointment for a drink when you have time...

When Fei Qian learned this later, he really didn't know whether it was better to cry or laugh. Was it really not me who did this? If Senior Brother Cao Cao knew that there was a part of me involved, would he hold a grudge for the rest of his life? But then again, didn’t Cao Cao offer his sword? How did you become the Jie Emperor?

Did my arrival change something, making it different from the impression? So where is this history heading now?

Are the Three Kingdoms still the same Three Kingdoms?

Ah, if this continues, what advantage will I have in foresight?

Before, Fei Qian wanted to avoid risks by stepping on the yellow line that predicts history. Now he suddenly realized that he didn't even know where the yellow line under his feet was. He suddenly felt chilly all over his body. He didn't know what was going on in that dark place. How many swords, guns, swords and halberds are coming towards me to kill...

Fei Qian had a cold war.

Fei Qian decided to go to Cai Yong's house to find out what Cai Yong had said. After all, Cao Cao, who did this, was Cai Yong's disciple. It would be troublesome if Dong Zhuo pursued him. If Cai Yong could be persuaded to leave together in the name of refuge, then It couldn't be better.

After all, now that we are weak alone, what can we do even if we have more intentions? Luoyang, it's better to run away as soon as possible. It's too unsafe. I didn't know that I would kneel down that day...

When Fei sneaked into Cai Yong's house, Cai Yong was reading in the study.

After the maid served Fei Qian tea and chatted for a while, Fei Qian said: "I have been governing Zuozhuan recently. I have a question, so I would like to ask the teacher for advice."

"Here you go." Cai Yong was actually worried about the current situation, but when he heard that Fei Qian wanted to ask for advice, he put his worries aside and asked Fei Qian what problem he encountered.

Fei Qian said: "In the past, the Jin Dynasty offered Gong Li Ji to the public, and it was unlucky to predict it; it was auspicious to use the 筮. On the day, the poison was given to the public. If you think about it privately, it smells like corn, why can't the public detect it?"

This is a very awesome story about Duke Xian of Jin, a prince recorded in Zuo Zhuan.

Duke Xiang of Jin was the monarch of the Jin Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period, when changing monarchs was like changing dishes, he could reign for 26 years, which was considered a longest-reigning vassal monarch.

As soon as Duke Xian of Jin came to power, he attacked the descendants of Marquis Wen of Jin who might threaten the throne. He killed all of them without leaving any one alive, and then adopted the policy of respecting the king to increase his reputation. During his reign, he attacked and destroyed Li, Rong, Geng, Huo, Yu, Guo and other countries. History said that he "merged seventeen countries and subjugated thirty-eight countries."

He was such an awesome person, and ended up being deceived by a piece of stinky meat?

Do you believe it or not?

What Fei Qian asked Cai Yong for advice was the story of Duke Xiang of Jin.

——Duke Xian of Jin wanted to make Li Ji his wife, so he used tortoise shells for divination, but the result was unlucky; then he used yarrow for divination, and the result was auspicious. Duke Xiang of Jin established Li Ji according to the results of yarrow. Later, Li Ji gave birth to a child named Xi Qi and wanted to make Xi Qi the crown prince. So Li Ji deceived Duke Xiang of Jin's eldest son to go to Quwo to offer sacrifices, and then took the eldest son to sacrifice. The meat that came back was kept in the palace for six days before being presented to Duke Xiang of Jin.

So the question is, how could Duke Xiang of Jin be deceived by this piece of smelly meat? Can't he smell the smell of meat?

Obviously Cai Yong was also familiar with this allusion. He nodded and said: "Jin Xian Gong Li Ji, it is said that he specializes in the profession. Li Ji will set up the Xian Gong for six days, so it smells bad, so that the Gong will not eat, so that he can harm the eldest son." ——The incident of Duke Xiang of Jin, Li Ji, shows that he is a dictatorial person. Li Ji deliberately made the meat stink so that Duke Xiang of Jin would smell it and not eat it, so as to harm Duke Xiang of Jin's eldest son.

Fei Qian then asked: "Since the eldest son is evil and the eldest son is dead, why did he kill Yuan Ke?" Later, Duke Xiang of Jin forced his own eldest son to death, and not only that, he also killed his eldest son's master Du Yuan Ke. .

"I'm afraid of being guilty of teaching..." Cai Yong stopped mid-sentence, thoughtfully.

Fei Qian took all the detours just so that Cai Yong could understand that Dong Zhuo is as arbitrary as Jin Xiangong. People like Dong Zhuo often kill people just because of a thought. Now that Cao Cao is your disciple, he is already a troublemaker. If you make Dong Zhuo angry, can you ensure that Dong Zhuo will not suspect that it was you who taught him behind?

Now that Dong Zhuo has not caused trouble for you, master, can you guarantee that Dong Zhuo will not want to get up that day?

Fei Qian secretly looked at Cai Yong's expression, and then said: "Shen Sheng stayed at home and died, while Chong'er escaped and lived. Why?" - Shen Sheng was the eldest son who was wrongly accused by Li Ji. When they came to capture him, he stayed behind, but he died. Later, Chong'er was also framed by Li Ji, but Chong'er had quick legs and ran away, but he survived...

"..." Cai Yong remained silent and did not answer. Even now, he knew that Fei Qian had come to ask for advice. He was obviously worried that Dong Zhuo would get angry and harm him, so he came to persuade him to avoid it.

Putting aside everything else, just because Fei Qian was worried about Cai Yong's safety, Cai Yong felt that he was not the wrong apprentice. However, this kind of matter was not something that could be decided in just a few words. After all, he was already in After living in Luoyang for so many years, even if you want to leave, you have to consider where to stay first, right?

Cai Yong looked at Fei Qian with some relief and said, "You know what you mean, let me think about it..."

Fei Qian thought to himself, Mr. Cai, it would be nice if you could think about it, so he was about to resign, but was stopped by Cai Yong, saying that Fei Qian's senior sister Cai Yan had left a message before, and if Fei Qian came, he would hand in his homework.

Fei Qian almost spit out a mouthful of blood. How can I have time to do any homework these days? Isn't this life-threatening...
