The news about Cao Rui sending people to assassinate King Dong'a, and King Dong'a escape spread throughout the Great Wei Kingdom. This time the turmoil was much greater than the return of the descendants of the Yuan family. First of all, Cao Zhi was quite popular in Cao Wei, and he also had his own team of people. Ding Yi, Yang Xiu and other talents followed him and wanted to support him ascend the throne. Unfortunately, Cao Pi received the help of the old fox Jia Xu, and easily calmed down Cao Cao's heart and used Cao Cao's hand to remove Yang.

Xiu, when he ascended the throne, killed all the officials of Cao Zhi, including Ding Yi. However, despite this, Cao Zhi had a large number of secret forces in the court with his literary reputation and generous manners. Otherwise, when Cao Pi died, there would be no news of Cao Zhi's succession to the throne. At present, Cao Rui harmed Cao Zhi, used his nephew to harm his uncle, and Cao Zhi successfully escaped. This news was like a thunderclap, causing the Cao Wei court to be in a turbulent manner.

For more than ten days, the ministers headed by Chen Qun in the court wrote letters, directly reprimanding Cao Rui, why did they do such a tragic act? The Empress Dowager Bian cried three times a day and asked his grandson for his son. Empress Dowager Guo was in a cold war with Cao Rui. Although he had not taken any damage at this time, he had done a lot of things to secretly collect his strength and thought he was using. Cao Rui was full of anger and had nowhere to dissipate. He even beat Cao Zhao, who had worked hard to drive back from Qingzhou, cut off his official position, and sent him to Tongquetai to guard the gate. Cao Zhao could only admit that he was unlucky. Who made him one step late and didn't see those people? However, he believed that he had not left the news. Who spread the news? Moreover, Cao Zhi was not sure of his life and death, but why did the Great Wei Kingdom say that he had escaped, and the legend had a nose and eyes, and it seemed that he had seen each other in person.

A few days later, the Emperor of Wei ordered Chen Qun to talk about state affairs. Everyone did not know what the ministers said, and Chen Qun did not reveal a word, but only found that the old minister of the three dynasties seemed to be even more silent.

By the Xuanwu Pool.

At this time, the weather was cold and a thin layer of ice was formed on the water surface. The ice layer near the south bank was thick and it was gradually gaining foothold. The ice turned pale blue, but the north was still bright and bright, with scattered 10,000 dots of floating gold flashing under the sun. Xuanwu Pond was specially carved out to train the naval army by Emperor Wu Cao Cao. It was used for the southern expedition. Unfortunately, no matter how big the pond was, it could not simulate the waves of the Yangtze River surging like mountains, falling like snow, and vast smoke, spreading across the sky. Naturally, the sailors trained in this pond could not fight against the enemies of the fish and snakes that grew up by the water from childhood and as cruel as crocodile dragons. After that battle, the pond slowly became abandoned and turned into a garden and a place for fun.

Chen Qun was sitting in Chibei at this time. Facing the sun at noon, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep. He only frowned, proving that he was thinking about something carefully. After a moment, the footsteps sounded, and Chen Qun did not look back and shouted: "Boru."

Later, he was the deputy of the Shangshu Ling Chen Qun. Wei Ji Wei Boru. Wei Ji was from Hedong and had achieved success in his studies when he was young. He was praised by the world for his talent. Cao Cao, the Taizu of Wei, summoned him to be the official of Sikong, and Cao Cao was named the Queen of Wei and appointed Wei Ji as the chief minister. He and Wang Can jointly formulate various systems. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he was transferred to Shangshu Pushe. As Chen Qun's deputy, he had the same official position as Sima Yi. Wei Ji was a steady person, cautious and cautious. He was highly valued by the Cao family. He was also a master of contemporary calligraphy. He was good at all styles and was called "Zhong, Wei" together with Zhong Yao. Whether Cao Wei issued the edicts and letters in the world, all of them were out of his work.

Wei Ji walked to Chen Qun and sat down. Although the two had different positions in the officialdom, they only got along like friends in private.

Wei Ji's name is Chen Jun's name, "Brother Changwen, you are not afraid of the cold, and you actually invite each other here."

Chen Qun sighed: "The world is cold, the body and mind are cold, and it is the same everywhere."

Wei Ji looked at Chen Qun and suddenly smiled: "Brother Changwen, why are you so depressed today?"

"Isn't it? Today, there is a strong Han in the west and a stubborn Wu in the south. There are internal and external troubles, and the wind and rain are mixed together. I am here on the bank of this pond. I remember that Emperor Wu drank horses and Yangtze River, slapped and wrote poems with his spear, and the past is like a dream. Wouldn't it be sad?"

Wei Ji was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Changwen, you can only speak these words in private. If you go to the court, I am afraid you will not be happy for Your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty doesn't like it. Your Majesty likes jewelry and jade, and likes palaces. Where can I find him? He is young and has poor skills. It's fine. No one's ability is born and learns. But how about Your Majesty? Since the Emperor's death, he has been alienated from the Empress Dowager and separated from his ministers. He is locked in the room, working in a closed door, and making a secret decision. It is him who gave up Jingzhou, and he who abandoned Bingzhou. Some time ago, he was still the one who asked him to kill King Dong'a a while ago. I really don't know what he thought. Brother, I have been angry all these days, but no one can say that I have been suffocated. If this continues, can I still be safe in the world of the Great Wei?"

Wei Ji was so scared that his face turned pale: "Sir, what's wrong with you? Although Your Majesty is young, he is kind by nature. He couldn't even bear to ejaculate at that time. At that time, we all saw it with our own eyes. Now... Now, although Your Majesty is a little inappropriate, he is also thinking about the Great Wei. Why is he so pessimistic?"

Chen Qun sighed: "At that time, Your Majesty was young, and people would change - maybe I was old and I couldn't understand many things in the world. Your Majesty, maybe Your Majesty really had his own plans. But I...forget it, I will resign from Your Majesty in a few days and return to my hometown."

"Brother Changwen, why are you doing this? Your Majesty is young, and you will persuade me. Although Your Majesty's assassination of King Dong'a is a kingly sway, brother doesn't have to do this."

Chen Qun smiled bitterly: "Boru, you don't know anything. It's not that I can't tolerate Your Majesty, but that's not that Your Majesty can't tolerate me either. The day before yesterday, I met Your Majesty alone and planned to tell me what I said in my heart. Without a few words, Your Majesty said that I was looking forward to King Dong'a, not a pure minister. He also said that I had followed Liu Bei at the beginning and was captured by Ji Han by Weinan, so what qualifications are there to take care of this matter? Brother, the late emperor appointed four ministers who were entrusted with orphans. Sima Yi led the army in Wancheng. Although he was famous as Wei ministers, he was actually independent.

At this time, I have left half of it. Your Majesty is old and it is reasonable for him to not want anyone to point fingers. If I resign, Your Majesty will surely be approved. You don’t have to explain it to me at that time. After I leave, you will be by Your Majesty and you must be careful in everything. Although Yecheng is obtained from Yuan Shao, it is the place where my Great Wei started. No matter what the situation is, you must not follow the proposal of moving the capital. If Hebei is there, then the Great Wei will not perish. If Hebei is lost, my Great Wei will not survive."

Wei Ji looked sad and sighed repeatedly.

Not long after, Chen Qun arrived at the army and resigned. Cao Rui appointed former Shangshu Pushe Wei Ji as Shangshu Ling, Sun Zi and Liu Fang as Shangshu Pushe. Dozens of officials were transferred in a row within a day. For a moment, the discussion in the court suddenly stopped, and no one dared to accuse His Majesty of doing things in person.

............

Although the sea was cold, it was slower to freeze. The boat arrived at the Dashi City in Liaodong, and everyone got ashore. They changed their vehicles and passed through Pingguo, Wenxian, Anshi, Xinchang to Xiangping.

Liaodong was Gongsun Gong's territory, but now he surrendered to Ji Han in the famous discussion. In fact, a few years ago, when the war in Weinan was captured, all the people sent by Gongsun Prefect was captured. Gongsun Prefect saw Ji Han's strength and began to secretly associate with Ji Han and date privately. But the relationships at that time were all empty, and they were tempted by each other, and they were not sincere. It was not until Ji Han and Wei Yan, Li Mao, Guan Feng and others convened various tribes in the desert to hold alliances, pacify the grassland, and extend their power to Youzhou. Gongsun Gong really changed his style and turned to Ji Han.

However, Guan Suo and others sent Cao Zhi, but did not send the scholar to Xiangping, but to a small valley near Xiangping. This valley was called Fangjie Valley, and Guan Ning lived in the residence of Guan Ning, a great scholar in the world. Guan Ning was named You'an, and was from Zhuxu, Beihai, Eastern Han Dynasty (now Linqu, Shandong). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. He and Wang Lie, Bing Yuan and others avoided the chaos in Liaodong. After arriving in Liaodong, Guan Ning only talked about classics and did not talk about political affairs. He built a house in the valley near Xiangping, and a large number of refugees came to surrender, and soon became a village.

So, he began to "talk about poetry, books, preach, behave in a prestige, be polite, behave politely, and be unaware of scholars", which had a good impact on the academic style and social atmosphere in Liaodong, especially in Xiangping. After the Cao Wei regime unified the north, the Central Plains were a little more peaceful, and most of the refugees returned to their hometowns, but Guan Ning still had no intention of returning. After Gongsun Kang's death, because his younger brother Gongsun Gong established himself as the prefect of Liaodong, Guan Ning believed that "the legitimate and illegitimate abolished the legitimate, and the subordinates had different intentions, and the chaos arose from the origin", so he decided to bring his family back to the sea. Before leaving, he returned home.

The gifts given by the Sun father and son over the years were returned in full to show their nobleness. At this time, Gongsun Gong thought that he was preparing to surrender to Ji Han, and Guan Ning would return to Cao Wei to return to his hometown. How could such talents be allowed to Cao Wei to go? He immediately stopped him and refused to let him go. Later, I learned about this and discussed with Gongsun Gong that he would buy 300 Mingzhus of the Great Qin (Ancient Rome) to pay Guan Ning a valley where Guan Ning lived, and make an appointment, no matter how chaotic the world was, no force could enter the valley, otherwise Ji Han and Gongsun Family would both fight him.

There was nothing in this valley. Guan Ning and others did not pay taxes and food for study here. Instead, they had to provide them with various supplies every year. At this time, they heard that Ji Han was willing to exchange such a high price, so Gongsun Gong naturally made a promise. Guan Ning lived in Liaodong for more than 30 years, and together with his good friends Wang Lie and Bing Yuan, he also had countless disciples and disciples, so he naturally did not want to leave. In addition, Cao Wei was not calm in recent years, and wars broke out. After obtaining this promise, he stayed in Liaodong.

I knew that Cao Zhi's identity would definitely be difficult to use, so I sent him to this paradise where I focused on academics, so I would be worthy of him if I could spend the rest of my life here. As for asking him to help me deal with Cao Wei, I think this talented man was hit by others for the rest of his life, he would not be rebellious. Li Sheng and others sent Cao Zhi here to explain everything. Cao Zhi was helpless at this time, and he also had to see Guan Ning, a great scholar in the world. Most of the valleys were hermit scholars, so he naturally became much better than the fiefs of living prisons. Guan Ning had known Cao Zi's reputation for establishing a great name, so he naturally treated him well.

Guan Ning was indeed very happy when he saw Cao Zhi, but he was extremely unreasonable to Li Sheng and others, and refused to take a look at him directly. Li Sheng knew his great scholar's temper, but he didn't take it seriously. He bowed to him and explained everything clearly, saying that he was not a scholar and was not worthy of entering Fangjie Valley, and he bowed to him immediately.

Guan Suo was a little angry: "This Guan Ning is like this to us. His Majesty spent so many pearls to buy land for him. Even if he didn't say that he was a guest from afar, we are also considered landlords. What can we do when we enter the valley?"

Li Sheng smiled and said, "He is a senior expert, so he is naturally like this."

Qian Hong also said: "Yes, this old gentleman, Emperor Wei personally issued an order to conscript him many times, and he wanted to make him the Taizhong doctor, cut the cook or rush, constantly shrinking and chairs, and the shell-colored light 3 often sat on a wooden couch (that is, kneeling). It took more than 50 years to sit on it (in fact, this is sitting). The couch near the knee was penetrated. His old gentleman was better to the people and to the officials, and he was more good to the words and people. He was willing to roll his eyes to look at us soldiers, even if he gave us face."

All three of them laughed.

Although Cao Zhi cannot be bribed, the people around Cao Zhi may not be bribed. When Li Sheng and others divided the troops, they left three of Cao Zhi's true confidants, and secretly left Cao Zhi's seal. Cao Zhi escaped from heaven, and did not care about the seal, so they did not take it seriously at all. Naturally, they would never think that they would use their reputation to harm Cao Wei. Now the few people went to Xiangping City together to visit the Liaodong prefect Gongsun Gongsun Gong. Gongsun Gong was the son of the Liaodong prefect Gongsun Du and the younger brother of Gongsun Kang. In the 12th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao chased Yuan Shang, but before he arrived in Liaodong, Gongsun Kang killed Yuan Shang's head, and Cao appointed Kang as the Marquis of Xiangping. Later, Gongsun Kang died of illness, leaving two sons: the eldest son Gongsun Huang and the second son Gongsun Yuan (actually an illegitimate son), both of which were young; Kang's younger brother Gongsun Gong succeeded his position. During the time of Cao Pi, Gongsun Gong was appointed as the General of the Chariot and Cavalry and the Marquis of Xiangping.

Gongsun Gong has been weak and sickly. But when he heard that Ji Han's envoy came, he still met him in person and smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Ji Han has several envoys here." As he spoke, a man next to him fluttered in blue shirt and walked out.

Li Sheng was stunned and shouted, "Brother." It was Li Mao.

............

After returning to the lower place with Li Mao, several people greeted each other again. At present, Li Mao is the official general and the Iron Cavalry King, so his official position is naturally far above everyone else. However, since he returned to the Han Dynasty, he has no longer been thousands of miles away from people as before, but instead has become very easy-going. He simply asked about the situation on the road and asked about Cao Zhi's situation. When he heard about Guan Ning's appearance, he couldn't help laughing: "This old man is a true wise man. He sees through the world and understands the mystery. He is not comparable to ordinary people like us."

When Li Sheng heard something in Li Mao's words, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Li Mao said: "Did you discover the problem he had seen several years ago? Liaodong is going to be in chaos."
