Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 427
In the fourth year of Xiping, May

Rang County, Nanyang, Huanglong comes out of the well

The conflict between the DPRK and China has reached an irreconcilable level. Cao Cao and others are the ones who sigh the most. They originally had the strong support of the emperor. After changing their nature, they began to implement various internal affairs, and after placing the center of the temple on the domestic people, their advantages disappeared. In the temple, they were obviously not as good as the faction of veterans composed of these three lords.

This is even more so after losing the support of the emperor.

However, the recent emptiness of the national treasury has given Cao Cao and others a new opportunity. They feel that the southern countries have a lot of raw materials, such as wood, gold, and seasonings. They usually don’t pay enough for these things. If they can completely conquer the southern two countries and send their ministers out of the [-]% they have obtained, instead of continuing to maintain a subordinate relationship with each other, they will definitely be able to enrich the treasury through taxation there.

For this point, Cai Yong is very disdainful, don't you need military expenses for mobilizing troops?Doesn't it need to consume the strength of the treasury?The focus of the emperor is now on the country. It is absolutely impossible for you to mobilize troops. In the court and in private, the two factions are fighting more and more fiercely. Even some local officials have been involved. However, the north and the south The army is still stable, and Zhang Wen dare not borrow the strength of the army.

Sitting in the upper position, looking at the quarreling and red-faced ministers below, the emperor frowned, and began to feel a little uneasy. The fight among the ministers was the result of his intervention, but the current situation of life and death is not what the emperor intended. What I want to see is that the ministers of the new faction are still under the command of the old ministers. In the past, their quarrels would not affect the normal political affairs, but now, many political affairs in the temple have also stagnated, and everything is not going well.

The emperor thought about how to resolve the conflict between the two of them?Conflicts can never be solved. Even if the faction of old ministers collapses, there will be new forces to contend with Cao Cao and others. The emperor knows this. However, their conflicts are now concentrated in Funan and Chenla Above the two countries, it seems that there is still a solution to these two countries. If they stay like this, there will inevitably be major turmoil in the future.

However, the emperor didn't think of any way to deal with it. He wanted to hear the views of Guo Jia and Xun Yu, but these two people had already become core members of the new faction. , not only can't solve the problem, but also make the conflict between the two sides more profound, hateful, at this time, the emperor suddenly found that among the officials, he couldn't find a confidant.

He slowly thought about how during the Jianning period, my father always kept one or two misfits by his side, so he could listen to his advice at such a time. Jia Xulai, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia, he originally thought that they could all be his confidantes, but now it seems that Xun Yu, Xun You, and the others still cannot remain neutral in the battle.

Even Guo Jia, who was taught by the prince himself, could not do this.

It seems that Ma Jun and Jia Xu will be placed by his side in the future, the emperor thought, his eyes swept over the many courtiers below, but he didn't notice that when his eyes swept over the official censor Liu Mo Liu Mo seemed a little hesitant at the time, he was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart, that's why he was able to lead those brave Dongyi people, and survived for more than ten years under the eyes of the glaring Goguryeo people. Not exterminated.

At the same time, he was the first king in the entire east to serve the big man, and he didn't even let the big man use any force.

He saw the worries of the emperor, and also saw the chaos in the temple today. He really wanted to do his best for the emperor, but he was cautious, cowardly, and a little timid. He never dared to speak up, he hesitated , the emperor valued himself very much, and even returned his current position and did not regard himself as a barbarian. He should repay him, but he raised his head, looked around, and looked at the emperor, feeling extremely hesitant in his heart.

The emperor squinted his eyes. Perhaps, he should let Huang Zhong, the captain of the water army, come out to suppress Funan and Chenla, so that the two countries can pay more tribute. It is impossible for the current state treasury to use force on a large scale. Paving the way for the future, making an advance preparation, he thought in his heart, and was about to speak, when he saw a person slowly walking out from the group of officials, came to the center, and bowed to the emperor.

Seeing this person come out, everyone looked a little frightened and hurried back to their seats.

This person is Liu Mo, the censor.

Liu Mo usually talks a lot, but when he really entered the core of the temple, he no longer spoke in the temple like in the past, and everyone relaxed their guard against him. Unexpectedly, this guy would actually When he came forward, Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others looked at him with some wariness. In their eyes, Liu Mo belonged to the faction of veterans. He was Zhang Wen's former official and had a good relationship with Cai Yong and others.

The emperor also looked at him with some doubts. The emperor transferred him into the temple because he was shocked by the words he said to Zhuge Liang. Facing the eyes of the emperor, Liu Mo said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the matter between Funan and Chenla has to be solved. Today, I see the officials fighting and not thinking about the people. This is the greatness of the country." Ji also!"

As Liu Mo said, he turned his head suddenly, looked at the officials, and said: "I want to impeach Situ Cui Shi, Cui Shi is the head of the three princes, the arm of the emperor, and ignores political affairs all day long. fine!"

After he said this, Cui Shi, who was squinting his eyes, woke up instantly, and looked at Liu Mo with some doubts. He confronted him face to face, you guys, do you really have such guts?Liu Mo took a deep breath, suppressed his beating heart, hid his deep fear, and said: "I want to impeach Sikong Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi has no finances, and dares to go to Haikou. Now the treasury is empty and cannot make ends meet. Lu Zhizhi's fault!"

"I want to impeach Zhang Wen, the Taiwei. Zhang Wen doesn't care about the national conditions, doesn't think about the people, and is only greedy for meritorious service. Such people are not worthy of being considered Sangong!"

Zhang Wen stared wide-eyed, looking at the old official in front of him, aren't you afraid of being attacked by the people of the world when you impeach your former chief like this?

"I want to impeach Sinon Cao Cao. Cao Cao has been in the court for a year, but he has not made any meritorious service. He is a secretary in agriculture, but he ignores Nong Sang and fights with the old minister to seize power."

"I want to impeach Guang Lu Xun You."

"I want to impeach Minister Xing Yong"

At that moment, Liu Mo opened his mouth, and the officials were dumbfounded, their eyes widened, and they looked at him, who was usually extremely cowardly, like a prince possessed, and began to impeach all the officials. The emperor was also stunned. Thinking about it, Liu Mo dared to do this. Did he not know that his behavior offended the princes of the Manchu Dynasty?In the future, even the Taiwei will no longer help him, Liu Mo said more and more energetically, he looked at the officials and impeached him for nearly two hours.

The officials were pale and speechless.

The most shocking thing was those old ministers. This was not the censor Liu Mo at all, but the fusion of the late old Taiwei Liu and the late Prince Situ!Since the death of Old Taiwei Liu, where have the officials seen such a talkative person?He still has the demeanor of a prince!

After Liu Mo finished speaking, he looked at the officials. Many people glared at him, but they didn't speak. They were afraid that Liu Mo would continue to speak. come out.

"Liu Jun just criticized all the officials as mediocre. I don't know what Liu Jun can do about the situation in the south?" Cao Cao asked suddenly.

What he said was to force Liu Mo to stand in line, and all the officials did not want a neutral person like Prince He Zi to appear again.

Sweat was dripping from Liu Mo's forehead. He ignored Cao Cao and looked at the emperor instead. The emperor saw his hesitation. , and personally went to the two countries to make it come true.”

After he finished speaking, the officials laughed contemptuously, who do you think you are?Go alone and want to conquer the two countries in the Southwest?Do you think you are still in Fuyu?
In Fuyu, the opponent surrendered so easily because Zhang Taiwei led tens of thousands of the most elite troops stationed not far away. For Funan and Chenla, the big man can only use less than 1 navy troops. Some county soldiers, do you think you can bluff the opponent with these people?
Liu Mo raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not going alone. Your Majesty, please order the Taiwei to lead a hundred people to Yangzhou, and pretend to be the Northern Army with soldiers from counties and counties, claiming [-]."

"The two countries don't know the truth, and when they see the Taiwei coming, they definitely dare not refuse."

Hearing Liu Mo's words, the Son of Heaven thought deeply for a long time before he burst out laughing. He stood up and walked to Liu Mo's side. He knew in his heart that for such a cowardly and timid person He was terrified when he thought about how difficult it would be to go to the two countries alone to serve as an envoy, but he still came forward, and the emperor reached out and held his hand.

"Your Majesty, you are my Marquis!"

Liu Mo looked at the emperor, the fear in his eyes could not be concealed, his whole body was still trembling, but his eyes gradually became firmer, he whispered something to the emperor, the emperor was stunned, and then whispered back a few words Then Liu Mo laughed, and the surrounding officials were a little puzzled, and they didn't know what he had discussed with the emperor. The emperor returned to his position and agreed to Liu Mo's proposal, and the officials did not object.

However, more people are still waiting to see Liu Mo screw things up.

The emperor ordered again: "The Taiwei is old and inconvenient to travel far, so Sun Jian, the Marquis of the Northern Army, led a hundred people to Yangzhou." Once an important official left, he would never come back, and Sun Jian was young and strong, and he always complained that he had no chance to make meritorious deeds. Besides, he was still from Yangzhou. If he went to Yangzhou, he might be able to shock everyone more than Zhang Wen.

"Your Majesty?" Zhang Wen asked in shock, trembling, walked to the center, looked at the emperor in a daze, and asked, "Your Majesty thinks that the minister is too old to be reused?"

"That's not true. Let Sun Jian handle such trivial matters as the important minister of the country."

"Your Majesty, although I have white hair, I am not far from Sun Wentai. I hope that Your Majesty will allow me to go to Yangzhou in person."

Zhang Wen looked at the Son of Heaven expectantly, his eyes were full of pleading, the Son of Heaven couldn't bear it, but the barbarian land in the south was so harsh, how could the Taiwei be affected by the situation there at his age?The Son of Heaven sighed, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry too much, Taiwei. If something like this happens again in the future, I will send you to go and retreat!"

The officials walked out one by one, Zhang Wen stood there in a daze, until the eunuch called him, and then he reacted, looked around, no one was there, he threw the crutch in his hand, and pushed it away He passed the eunuch who wanted to support him, and walked towards the distance.

At this time, Sun Wentai received the order from the emperor, and he was extremely happy. After he got on the general platform, he summoned the most elite [-]-person army and was reprimanding them. These soldiers of the Northern Army had no chance to make meritorious deeds for a long time, and they complained endlessly on weekdays. , I was very happy to be able to go out today. After a few words of explanation, Sun Jian led these people, and took the food and grass with the auxiliary soldiers, and left the barracks and left Luoyang.

At the same time, Liu Mo was also ready to leave. He brought his chariots and horses and the entourage arranged by the emperor to the gate of the city, and waited quietly. The attitude towards the big man is very respectful, but since people like Cao Cao began to publish all kinds of unkind remarks against them, their relationship with the big man has also deteriorated instantly, and they recruited a large number of soldiers again, taking a posture of resistance.

These news were disclosed to them by Cao Cao and others, in order to force them to fight the big man and give the temple a reason.

Therefore, it is very dangerous for him to go alone like this. He is extremely afraid in his heart, and he is also waiting for the people in the court to see him off. However, he waited here for several hours, and no one came. Seeing him off, he looked at Luoyang City lonely, turned around, and was about to leave. Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind, calling Liu Gong, and when he turned his head, it was Zhuge Liang and Se Nijia.

Only then did Liu Mo laugh, and the two walked to his side, out of breath, Liu Mo smiled and said: "I thought you didn't want to come and see me off, but now, most of the officials hate me, and many People dare not associate with me anymore.”

Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang rushed into his arms. Liu Mo trembled, hugged Zhuge Liang, and comforted him: "Don't worry. The big man is powerful, and they will never dare to deal with me."

Zhuge Liang raised his head, with some tears in his eyes, he said: "Please take care of me, don't abandon Liang. In Luoyang, Liang is only with Liu Gong."

Liu Mo smiled.

"His Majesty."

"kindness?"

"If I can't come back like this, I hope His Majesty can take care of Zhuge Liang. He is young and has no relatives, and the disciples don't think much of him. If you can make him worship Lu Gong as a teacher, I will have no complaints."

"it is good."

Sun Jian and the others went out of the city and rode tall horses, feeling extremely happy. This trip to Yangzhou, if the two countries refused to accept it, he would lead the warriors of Yangzhou to conquer it. With them, they can definitely break through Funan Chenla easily. After all, their combat effectiveness is extremely low. When they fought with the big Han before, the soldiers of the big Han didn't even suffer any casualties.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, someone shouted from behind: "Sun Wentai!!!"

Sun Jian reined in his horse, turned around, and saw a man standing on the top of the wall, "Whoo~~", an arrow flew towards him, and Sun Jian had no time to react. The arrow hit his chest, and Sun Jian fell off his horse. When they got down, the surrounding soldiers were stunned, roaring angrily, raised their heads and rushed towards the top of the city. On the top of the city stood an old man. That man was the old Taiwei Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen was holding a strong bow. Eyes wide open, looking down.

"stop!"

As Sun Jian said, he slowly climbed up from the ground. He held the feathered arrow and looked at it seriously. The arrow had its head removed and had no lethality. However, the huge force still knocked him off the horse. Holding the arrow in doubt, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Wen on the top of the city in the distance.

"Sun Wentai!!"

"I'm old???"

"I'm getting old!?!"

"Am I old?!"

Zhang Wen roared at him, Sun Jian was taken aback, bowed to the top of the wall, and shouted: "The Taiwei is strong!!!"

"Hahaha~~~~" Zhang Wen raised his head and laughed wildly. Suddenly, he was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he fell back heavily, holding the strong bow tightly in his hand.

"Captain!!!!!!"

In the fourth year of Xiping, May

Taiwei Zhang Wen died.
