Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 1262: Difficult to tell true from false

Chapter 1262 It’s hard to tell the truth from the false

Adou has a sharp ear, which Feng Yong has known for a long time.

 This incident involving Wei Yan actually had similar incidents in history.

It’s just that the protagonists are replaced by Jiang Wei and Huang Hao.

 In the original history, in the late Jihan period, the **** Huang Hao took power and wanted to depose the general Jiang Wei and cultivate Yan Yu.

Jiang Wei saw that Huang Hao was unscrupulously taking charge of the affairs of the state, and asked Liu Chan to have him executed. Adou refused to listen and ordered Huang Hao to apologize to Jiang Wei.

 After experiencing this incident, Jiang Wei was afraid that Huang Hao would be harmful to him, so he led his army to farm in Dazhong and did not dare to return to Chengdu.

 To put it bluntly, Adou not only trusted the loyalty of Jiang Wei who was far away in Yaozhong, but at the same time he favored Huang Hao beside him.

 So it’s in the middle and thin mud.

 The final result is that foreign enemies arrive but cannot be defended, and internal political chaos cannot be managed, resulting in the destruction of the country and the loss of the ancestral temple.

Feng Yong didn't want to fight on the front line. Seeing victory in sight, the emperor's order to retreat immediately came suddenly.

Although it shouldn't be enough to win twelve gold medals, it is disgusting enough to encounter the historical incident of Prime Minister Li Yankeng withdrawing his troops.

Feng Da Sima took another sip of the already lukewarm soup, looked at Pei Qian, and finally said slowly:

“Since Mr. Pei is able to discern the opportunities ahead, I dare to ask what he can teach Yong?”

Pei Qian's spirits perked up when he heard these words. Isn't this the moment he has been waiting for?

 Seeing him sit up straight, he cupped his hands and said:

"How dare I say "give me some advice" if you are old and stupid? It's just a private opinion. If the commander-in-chief doesn't mind it, I'll give you a few words."

As soon as Feng Da Sima heard this, he immediately sat upright and said, "Please speak, Mr. Pei. I will always listen attentively."

Pei Qian seemed to be very satisfied with Feng Da Sima’s attitude, and he didn’t hide it and said:

“If Da Sima wants to solve the dilemma, he must first understand the holy will, and if he wants to understand the holy will, it is really about Wei Yan.”

Feng Da Sima frowned: "What's the explanation?"

Pei Qian smiled slightly and continued:

“Da Sima said before that your majesty is kind-hearted and I treat the king and his ministers well. This is the opportunity to crack it.”

"The matter of Wei Yan is just that after the death of the prime minister, your majesty wanted to support someone to check and balance the chief minister, so as to prevent the chief minister from becoming more powerful than the court."

"This is not because Your Majesty does not believe in Da Sima, but because he wants to get along with Da Sima for a long time!"

Feng Yong's frown deepened: "Mr. Pei, you might as well speak more clearly."

 The Queen is messing with me, is it for my own good?

“The ministers are more powerful than the imperial court. This is not a good thing for the ruler. The Great Sima is extremely intelligent and naturally understands this.”

 At this point, Pei Qian couldn't help but add a patch, "After all, through the ages, the affairs between the late emperor and the prime minister have been extremely rare."

  "Great Sima, the ministers check and balance each other, and the master cannot be alone, so that the master can feel at ease! Therefore, Wei Yan's affairs are just the tactics of the emperor of the Tian family."

"Wei Yan will not fall. Although the commander-in-chief has some constraints, he is actually as safe as Mount Tai. Wei Yan has lost power and the commander-in-chief has become the leader of the court and the public. This is not what the leader wants to see."

"It's a pity that Wei Yan was a warrior who did not understand the holy will, was greedy for power and advanced rashly, and lost his troops and territory. It took the great commander and the entire Han Dynasty to save the situation."

“After this battle, the Tian family was no longer able to balance the court. The Great Sima was in a position of great power and power, but in fact hidden dangers had emerged.”

“To declare the virtuousness of the emperor through filial piety (i.e., Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty) is like a glow on his back. How about your majesty? I hope the commander will think twice.”

Feng Dasima subconsciously reached for the soup bowl on the table. When he put it to his mouth, he was surprised to find that the soup had already become cold.

He touched his lips and put it back again. He gently rubbed the edge of the bowl with his fingers and looked at Pei Qian with twinkling eyes:

"The situation is irreversible. May I ask Mr. Pei, what should I do?"

Pei Qian stretched out two fingers:

“Da Sima, if you want to solve this situation, there are only two points.”

 “What two points?”

“First, as Da Sima said, the emperor is kind-hearted. As long as Da Sima can maintain the emperor’s favor, no matter what happens in the future, everything will turn around.”

“I believe that given the friendship between Da Sima and His Majesty, it will not be difficult for Da Sima to do this.”

“The second one is the word ‘balance’. If the Heavenly Family wants to be balanced, why doesn’t Grand Sima take advantage of the situation and take the initiative to create a balance in the court?”

“If you take the balance into your own hands, wouldn’t it be much better than having to deal with Wei Yan again?”

Feng Yong’s eyes flashed and he asked:

“Pei Gong means, general?”

Unexpectedly, Pei Qian shook his head, and then nodded again:

"Da Sima is only half right. Although the general and Da Sima jointly record ministerial affairs, the general is only slightly popular in the court, but has no foundation in the local area. It is not enough to check and balance each other with Da Sima."

Jiang Wan is a member of the Jingzhou faction, and now Jingzhou is still in the hands of Wu. How can there be a local foundation?

“Therefore, at least one person with the hope of a state and county is needed to cooperate with the general to make the Tianjia believe that they can check and balance the general.”

 Feng Da Sima's hand was already turning the soup bowl unconsciously.

 But I saw him groaning:

 “Is there such a person in DPRK and Zhongan?”

 Except for the Jingzhou faction, Liangzhou can be said to be the base of Da Sima.

 The Guanlong Group is still short-lived and has not yet formed a big trend. If given time, Jiang Wei has some hope.

Just now, just one Zhendong general is enough to suppress Jiang Wei to death.

 The only possibility is the Shu native faction.

 But those guys are not living up to expectations!

  Obviously, he took advantage of Cong Long's merits, but in the end he ruined himself.

 Now we have to start from scratch like Liangzhou Guanlong Group.

But Pei Qian suddenly stood up and bowed to Feng Da Sima:

“If the commander-in-chief does not give up, I am willing to recommend myself to take on this responsibility.”

Feng Da Sima, who was deep in thought, was startled when he heard this, and the turning bowl of soup also stopped.

"you?"

 “It’s Pei.”

 Old man!

Feng Da Sima Dingding looked at the old guy in front of him and resisted the urge to curse.

After all, he is a big man and a great Sima, so he must pay attention to his manners and keep his emotions and anger hidden.

 After I detoured for a long time, it turns out that the real purpose is here.

You almost bluffed me!

Behind the screen, there was the sound of teeth grinding and the cracking of finger joints.

Feng Da Sima let go of the soup bowl, leaned back, and said slowly:

“Pei Gong, why don’t you tell me your reasons?”

"Here." Pei Qian responded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Quizi Xing worships under Da Sima's door. Qian and Da Sima are naturally closer than others."

“Although Qian is crude, he is lucky to be the head of the Pei clan in Hedong, and the Pei clan in Hedong has little foundation.”

“Today, the Han Dynasty is vigorously promoting the New Deal, which makes many Guandong aristocratic families panic all day long, fearing that their families will not be protected. The change in Shangdang was caused by this.”

“In recent days, many powerful people from Shangdang and even Bingzhou have sent people to the Qian Mansion, saying that Governor Shi’s harsh government has gone too far.”

 “I pray for your kind words before His Majesty and Da Sima, and for your tolerance.”

 Speaking of this, Pei Qian emphasized:

"This is a good opportunity, Da Sima. As long as Da Sima can allow Qian to step forward, it will be the time to win over the hearts of these big clansmen."

“This will not only reassure the noble families in Guandong, but also lay the foundation for the Han Dynasty to implement the new policy in Guandong.”

“And above the court, he is regarded as a representative of the Guandong family, but in fact he is a cover for the great Sima, so that the Tian family can feel at ease.”

"If this happens, it will be beneficial to both public and private interests."

 “Bah, bang, bang!”

 Feng Da Sima couldn't help but applaud and cheer.

sharp!

 This is simply Infernal Affairs plus counter-infernal schemes plus serial schemes.

 A person who can become a minister in the political environment of Wei State is indeed not a simple person.

Pei Qian seems to be unwilling to be a mascot.

"I just have a question," Feng Da Sima said after applauding. "From Pei Gong to the Han Dynasty, there is no shortage of high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and there is no need for wives and children."

“Kuang Pei Gong is already very old, so why can’t he enjoy the blessings in peace and contentment, instead of getting involved in the dangers of the court?”

Pei Qian laughed:

“Da Sima once said that the rulers and ministers of the Han Dynasty were in harmony with each other, and that the emperor was benevolent, which was rare in history. Why do you now say that the court is dangerous?”

“According to someone’s opinion, the imperial court of the Han Dynasty is more dangerous than the pseudo-Wei Dynasty, but the mountains and streams are more dangerous than the big rivers, so what’s the worry?”

"When I was young, I decided to take it as my duty to calm the people and put an end to chaos. Therefore, wherever I went, I devoted myself to governing the herdsmen, organizing the army, and paying tribute."

"Cao Cao is a great man of his generation. Cao Wei will definitely be able to bring peace to the world. Who would have thought that God's will is unpredictable."

“The Han Dynasty has again produced ministers such as the Prime Minister and the Great Sima, and there are also benevolent masters like the late emperor and His Majesty. This can be said to be God’s blessing to the Han Dynasty.”

“A certain person lived blindly for most of his life and mistakenly turned to the evil master. Later he regretted deeply and was able to abandon evil and turn to the bright side.”

"The three resurgences of the Han Dynasty are a grand event for the ages. According to what I see, this grand event is already in front of my eyes. Therefore, even though I am an old man, I am not willing to sink into mediocrity."

“I would like to be a great Sima, and if I am lucky enough to accomplish some small feats, even if I cannot be named in the Qilin Pavilion, I hope to leave a mark in the history books. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!”

Feng Da Sima stared at Pei Qian for a long time, then nodded, smiled and said:

“I heard that when Duke Pei was in the puppet Wei Dynasty, he promoted integrity, appointed officials according to their talents, and paid equal attention to name and reality when selecting others. In fact, he was a honest and honest minister.”

"If Mr. Pei wants to expand his ambition in the Han Dynasty this time, wouldn't it be a blessing to the people of the world? It will never be too late to be happy."

"Since Mr. Pei has the ambition to reach a thousand miles, how can I be a bad person and not be as beautiful as a man?"

 It doesn’t matter if you are ambitious, your concubine is also ambitious.

 Whether it is for fame, profit, power or influence.

 As long as he has the ability to control his ambition, Feng Dashima doesn't mind giving the other party a chance.

 Feng Da Sima's words fell into Pei Qian's ears, and they were like celestial music.

But I saw Pei Qian bowing deeply to Feng Da Sima:

“Da Sima Yaliang has really been kind to me, so I would like to express my gratitude.”

"Mr. Pei, thank you!" Feng Da Sima stood up and stepped forward to help Pei Qian up. "It's just for the sake of the three prosperous men. Why do you thank me?"

"Yes, yes, we are a great man! I will definitely do my best to repay the country."

 As a surrendered general, he could receive generous treatment from the big man, so he should not expect more.

 Otherwise, it will arouse suspicion, lead to bad consequences, and be difficult to end well.

  Just not willing to accept that I have to make a mistake in this life without any chance of redemption.

 More importantly, the benevolence and righteousness of the Han monarchs and ministers are worth taking the risk.

Even if it fails, I believe there will be no fear of life.

 The old fox saw it accurately and he made the right bet.

 Because right now, there is indeed no one more suitable to represent the Guandong family than him.

Seeing the glimmer of light in the corners of Pei Qian's eyes, Feng Yong didn't know whether it was his own illusion or real tears. He just shook Pei Qian's arm:

“Three times the Han Dynasty prospered, and Yong and Pei Gong encouraged it.”

“Three times the Han Dynasty prospered, and Qian and Feng Jun encouraged it together.”

  —

Sent someone with a warrant from Da Sima's Mansion to send Pei Qian back.

Two ladies on the left and right came out from behind the screen. The lady on the right had a face full of dissatisfaction:

 “The old man is not a good person, Alang, you’d better be careful!”

Feng Da Sima An was sitting in his chair. He no longer looked as generous as he had just agreed with Pei Qian on the three-pronged Han Dynasty. He just smiled and asked:

 “What do you mean by this?”

“Pei Wenxing (also known as Pei Qian) is quite ambitious. Don’t worry about what he says. But if one day he has the ability to become a political enemy of Alang in the court, he will definitely never mention what he said tonight!”

Feng Da Sima stood up, walked to the two ladies, stretched out his hand to touch the face of the right lady, and said warmly:

"If he didn't have this kind of character, I wouldn't make an agreement with him. It's precisely because I know he will do this that he deserves my cooperation."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Right was stunned for a moment and looked at Feng Da Sima blankly:

 “What do you mean by Alang’s words?”

 Feng Dasima stroked her little face and smiled calmly:

“When falsehood is true, truth is also false, and when truth is false, falsehood is also true. How can there be eternal allies in the court?”

 Having opened such an opening for Pei Qian, he will become the representative of the Guandong family in the future.

 How huge is the Guandong family?

Even if Ji Han unified the country in the future, the Guandong family would definitely be a force that cannot be ignored.

 He himself became a villain and wielded a big stick in the eyes of the Guandong family.

There was always someone who had to put some sweet dates in their mouths for the court.

Withdrawing his hand, Feng Da Sima’s eyes fell on the jumping shadows behind the two ladies and said slowly:

"Your Majesty treats me with kindness and justice, and I repay Your Majesty with loyalty. If Pei Qian is really just as he said, and is just a hawk under me, then I am not colluding with the courtiers to deceive Your Majesty?"

Once this kind of thing happens, it will touch the dragon's reverse scale.

How could an old fox like Pei Qian not know?

 So the two people's final "mutual encouragement" was actually a tacit hint between the two.

Of course, another reason why Feng Da Sima chose Pei Qian was because of Pei Xiu.

Pei Xiu is the link between them.

 Just like Wei Rong.

 To put it bluntly, this is a political transaction.

Feng Yong gave Pei Qian a chance in the court, and Pei Qian helped Feng Yong open a road in Guandong.

As for what will happen after the Kanto family is dealt with, it depends on their political skills.

 Ahem, all this is for the sake of revitalizing the Han Dynasty, not for personal gain!

The right lady looked at Feng Da Sima, her eyes dazed for a moment.

This Alang, who has always been lazy in my mind, the young man who likes to ask himself for advice on the couch, has now grown to this point.

Seeing her appearance, Feng Da Sima said warmly:

"Okay, what do you look like? It's late at night, and Xiaoxiao (the right lady's little daughter) can't see you when she wakes up. I'm afraid she's going to cry again, so go and have a look."

The right lady didn’t say much and nodded meekly.

 After Mrs. Right left, Mrs. Zuo, who deliberately followed Feng Dashima, suddenly said:

 “You’re so clever, Mr. Feng! You even deceived Si Niang!”

Feng Dashima, who was stepping across the threshold, suddenly staggered!
