Shu Chen

Chapter 404 Sheer
Xia Houxuan's biological mother is the owner of Deyang Township and the sister of the late Cao Zhen.

It is also because of this relationship that before Cao Zhen died of illness, when Cao Zhen lamented that "there is no one governor in Qiaopei today", he ordered the emperor Cao Rui to love the house and Wu, and promoted Xia Houxuan, who had moved to the left long ago, as the garrison of Chang'an for future use.

Xia Houxuan, who knew that he had no elders to protect him, also cherished this opportunity.

I dare not say that I have been conscientious since I took office, but it is well-deserved that I have never been negligent.

However, the sudden rush of the Han army from Ziwu Valley completely turned his efforts into a thing of the past.

Although, if the Luoyang Temple were to pursue this matter, it would be the negligence of General Wang Chang of Zhengnan first, then the unpreparedness of Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, and finally his negligence of duty.

But at certain times, things don't follow common sense.

Whether it is Wang Chang or Sima Yi, they are now the borders of the country that supervises the war.

At the time when the rebellion against Shu and the bandit Wu frequently invaded the invaders, in order not to make the guarding soldiers feel self-confident and the authority of the governor's authority, the emperor Cao Rui could not sternly denounce him.

At most, it can be explained verbally, and the matter will be revealed.

But Xia Houxuan, who was the garrison of Chang'an, was not the case.

His authority, whether it is the governor of Yongzhou or the general rate of any department in Yongliang, can be replaced.It is also destined that he is the best candidate for the Luoyang Temple to affirm the military law of "rewards and punishments must be done".

He himself knew it well.

However, at that time, he still had luck in his heart.

It's not that the emperor Cao Rui would favor him, but that Sima Yi would represent Luo Yang to help him share the guilt and fight for him to stay in Chang'an.Just like before, after Fei Yao's disastrous defeat in the Lushui Branch River Valley, Sima Yi went up to Luoyang to order him to remain in the army to supervise the troops, so that he had the opportunity to clean up his defeat and recover.

But things backfired.

Not only did Sima Yi not present Luoyang, but instead sent Yongzhou Governor Guanqiu Jian to Chang'an to garrison and seize his military power.

Make him a laughing stock!

Yes, laughing stock!

"Unfortunately! Boren is a famous general, and he is also a famous person in the future. However, the defense is careless, and he collapses in the face of battle. Does this mean that the name is too real?"

These are the words that people ridiculed in Chang'an market after he lost his military power.

The contempt for him is like the old Wei Wu Cao Cao's phrase "If Liu Jingsheng's son is a porcupine dog ear".

After Xia Houxuan heard about it, he was very angry with Sima Yi in his heart.

In other words, he did dereliction of duty, but he deserved it.

As the governor of Yongliang, Sima Yi needs to take into account the overall situation of the battle, so it is inevitable to have clear rewards and punishments.

However, from Xia Houxuan's point of view, it was the Sima family who had betrayed their faith to his family!

This has to start with the two origins.

In the early days, Xia Houshang and Sima Yi were both Emperor Wen Cao Pishan, so the two families married their sons and daughters and became good friends of the whole family.

Later, Sima Yi supervised the military affairs of the two prefectures of Jing and Henan, and for this reason, he won the hearts of Xia Houshang's old troops.But as the power of Sima's family increased, they became more and more harsh on Xiahou's family.

For example, Xia Houhui, Sima Shi's wife and Xia Houxuan's younger sister, died unexpectedly and suddenly in Luoyang, where famous doctors gathered!

And only one year after Xiahou Hui's funeral, Sima Shi married Wu Zhi's daughter.

Wu Zhi, one of the four friends of Emperor Wen.

Cao Pi held Jieduyou and merged the military affairs of various states; he was later recalled to the central center by Cao Rui and served as the assistant prime minister.

He once praised Sima Yi to Cao Rui as the minister of the country, and claimed that Sikong and Chen Qun were not the talents of the prime minister. Cao Rui accepted and edicted this statement.

Sima Shi accepted Wu's family as the continuation string, which can be regarded as repaying a word of virtue.

But it was precisely because of this that Xia Houxuan felt that the Sima family's actions had no faith at all!

Because the Wu family had only been in the family for a few months, he was dismissed by Master Sima on the grounds of being immoral!And when the court dismissed him, Xi turned to discuss marriage with the Taishanyang family of the Guandong Gaomen and official family!
How could Xia Houxuan, who grew up in Luoyang and dealt with the emperor's dignitaries, be ignorant of such behavior?
Master Sima deposed the Wu family because he despised him for his lack of virtue~~
It is clear that after marrying the Wu family, he realized that the powerful Wu family (Wu Zhi is dead) had long since faded away and could not benefit the Sima family, so he abandoned it and transferred to Xuntai Shanyang's family.

Therefore, the current Xia Houxuan felt the same way for the Wu family.

He felt that his family was like the Wu family, abandoned because the power was far behind the Sima family, so Sima Yi dealt with him mercilessly.

The indignation is beyond words.

Naturally, he also knows that anger cannot change the facts.

When he had nothing to do after losing his military power, he came up with a self-help strategy: he went to Luoyang, took the blame for his own crimes, and begged to be relieved of the post of garrison in Chang'an.

It can be regarded as retreating.

Anyway, since the military power was taken away, he was no longer a real name.

Instead of waiting for Luoyang Temple to pursue responsibility according to the law, it is better to ask for guilt first.

In this way, the emperor Cao Rui and Luoyang Gungun's guilds would secretly praise him for taking responsibility for Sima Yi and Wang Chang, and would also consider the past achievements of Xia Houshang and Cao Zhen, and punish him lightly.

In fact, he was right.

With the persuasion of the princes of Gungun, although Cao Rui didn't like him, he still let him return to Luoyang with the official position of Sanqi Huangmen servant.

Sanqi Huangmen servant is Xiahou Xuan's first official position after inheriting the favor of his father's generation.

That is to say, Cao Rui voided the previous dislike and emotion of Cao Zhen's dying feelings, and gave him the opportunity to embark on an official career as a post-Qiao Pei Yuanxun.

Xia Houxuan knew this well.

And encourage myself to be diligent in the future, not only to live up to the grace of the emperor's tolerance and to 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 going to Luoyang, he was finally in the mood to meet someone.

Known since he was young, he has many admirers.

There is also no shortage of talented people who come here especially for their reputation, seeking to entrust them 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 poor scholar from Jizhou.

As the two got along longer, his disciples also felt that the poor family was a talented person, so they took the opportunity to present him in front of him.

It's just that he didn't summon him because he was troubled by the previous affairs and he was troubled by the loss of military power. Now that he is about to leave Chang'an, he should summon him for a while.

If you are a talented person, you might as well introduce him to your sect to benefit your own career.

His name is Shi Bao, a native of Bohai, Jizhou.

Beautiful in appearance, extraordinary in knowledge, and quite famous, but because of his humble background, he was a petty official, depressed and frustrated, and sold iron for a living.

Later, when Luoyang Temple decided to relocate Li Shu to Jizhou to serve as the third assistant in Guanzhong, Shi Bao was assigned to Jing Zhaoyin in order to seek opportunities.

Unrecognized for his talent, Shi Bao had no choice but to continue selling iron in the city of Chang'an, seeking fame.

That's why I got to know Xia Houxuan's disciples.

When he was recruited, Xiahou Xuanfu was very happy when he saw him.

When asked about Shi Ce, Shi Bao's answers were fluent and knowledgeable, but Xia Houxuan left the meeting halfway without knowing why.He also blamed the recommended sect, saying: "Our sect should welcome heroes from all over the world, how can we attract Tie She'er to see him!"

Humiliated him face to face!
