Chapter 414 Zhuge takes action, youth has advantages
""The sky was brightening the next day, and a maid from the mansion pushed the door and walked into Liu Qi's room. She saw him and another maid lying naked on the bed. Her face couldn't help but turn red {Сs confusing y text} but she thought about it. To ask Liu Qi to get up, he could only approach quietly and push Liu Qi's body.
"Ah~~" an exclamation almost resounded throughout the entire Xiangyang Liu Mansion. When they heard the commotion, they rushed over one after another. The first man to arrive entered the house, only to see the maidservant with a panic look on her face, sitting on the ground, pointing with her right hand. man and woman on bed
"What's the fuss about?" Several palace servants looked at each other. Fortunately, the housekeeper walked in at this moment. Seeing Liu Qi's miserable sleeping appearance, he couldn't help but frown. It was getting late, so it's time to get up. "
"They're dead, they're all dead, they're all dead," the maidservant murmured, her right hand trembling slightly.
"Dead?" The housekeeper frowned, and stepped forward to wake Liu Qi up. He stretched out his hands to pick up Liu Qi's upper body, only to find that his own body was no longer alive, and his arms and lower body were hanging weakly.
"Go, go and call, something happened." The housekeeper was also shocked and broke into a cold sweat. Liu Qi actually died like this? But after all, he is someone who has followed Liu Biao for many years. Although he is not involved in officialdom, he is not panicked when something happens.
Liu Biao's first wife died early, and now there is only one who is favored, that is, Cai Mao's Cai family. Cai family came very quickly. She was also in disbelief when she heard the news, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said calmly that this matter should not be publicized. , Don¡¯t let the master know about it, if any information is leaked, you will know the consequences.¡±
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Naturally, the old housekeeper has only promised, and the old housekeeper doesn¡¯t dare to refute. Everyone knows that the Cai family has actually made the decision in Xiangyang City. If he talks too much, his life may be lost.
Liu Qi died inexplicably, and Mrs. Cai arranged for people to dispose of the body. The maidservant's body could be thrown directly outside the city, but Liu Qi couldn't do it, so she had to find a way to keep it in the house. After these arrangements were made, Mrs. Cai immediately called in her eldest brother Cai Mao.
"Brother, Liu Qi died last night." Brothers and sisters don't need to beat around the bush, so they go straight to the point when they meet Cai.
Cai Mao's eyes widened. Apparently he didn't expect it. He was surprised and asked, "Liu Qi is dead?" Killed by whom? "
"It seems that he overindulged in sexual pleasure and died of exhaustion while having fun with his maidservant." When she said this, Mrs. Cai looked a little embarrassed, but she secretly went to the doctor to confirm that Liu Qi was definitely not harmed by others, and everything was because of
It was the first time Cai Hao had heard of this method of death. His first thought was that it was ridiculous, but there was no need to lie to him. Cai Hao couldn't help but shake his head. Is this how Liu Qi died?
Because there was no one around, Cai boldly asked in a low voice, "Did your elder brother do it?" "
"How could I have the ability to let him indulge in lust and die?" Cai Mao shook his head, but he thought that the man in black who came to the mansion a few days ago couldn't do it. Maybe it was someone from Wuji who did it?
When Cai saw her brother's expression like this, she didn't doubt it. She knew best that if someone like Cai Mao did it, it would be impossible for him to show a calm expression of not knowing what he was doing. But if it wasn't his elder brother who did it, could it be that Liu Qi, a good person, would be because of that? The matter was dead, and I was worried in my heart. I twisted my clothes with my fingers and asked what I should do now, how to deal with this matter? "
"Don't be anxious, just treat this as an accident." Cai Hao frowned, thought for a moment and said, "When the old guy goes west, and then the cause of Liu Qi's death is announced to the public, I think Liu Biao's influence in Jingzhou will be dampened by you and me." It will not be difficult to support Liu Cong to rise to power and secure Jingzhou."
"The Cai family is a womanly family, even if they have some scheming, they are not worthy of publicity. If something big happens, they have to be supported by the men in the family. Seeing what Cai Mao said, I just nodded and listened to my elder brother."
No, this matter is indeed related to Guo Jia and Jia Xu. In order to get rid of Liu Qi, not only did they contact Cai Mao in advance, but they also used a hidden weapon that had been infiltrated into Liu's house for five or six years, that is, the dead one. maid
Liu Qi is weak and prone to drinking. Even if he has improved over the past year, it will not help. Guo Jia just used some tricks to get Anzi to add a little medicine into the water Liu Qi drank that night, and the matter was mostly successful.
The medicine is not poison, but the favorite pleasure aid of emperors and princes. However, this medicine is extremely poisonous to Liu Qi, who is almost empty. The dosage is just a little too much. After a night of tossing, what awaits him is the Buddha of the West. call
As for the maidservants, the cause of death is also very clear. As a hidden child, the moment they left Wuji, they had completed their orders or lurked forever. Once they were summoned by Wuji, they would die when they succeeded.
" Two people died in the palace. Even if Cai wanted to conceal it, it would be difficult to cover it up. Not only Liu Biao was talking about why Liu Qi didn't come to see him during the day, but other palace servants and maids also began to spread the word in private.
Five days later, Liu Qi died due to drunkenness and sexThe news spread throughout Xiangyang, and Guo Jia's second plan was among them. When the news came that Liu Biao had died in the palace, his eyes widened, and a stream of scarlet blood spurted out from his mouth. Less than an hour later, Also lost his life
Liu Biao and Liu Qi's father and son are dead, and the one most qualified to take over in Jingzhou is Liu Cong. Although he is not very old now, only six or seven years old. Cai, his brother Cai Mao and others, while dealing with the funeral of the Liu family, began to prepare for the funeral. Liu Cong's ascension to the throne was busy
Originally, all this was under the remote control of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, but something happened again at this moment. Who is a strong contender for the position of state pastor in Jingzhou again? Naturally, he is Liu Biao¡¯s nephew, Liu Pan
The summer solstice has passed, and Zhen Yao is not too concerned about the affairs in Jingzhou. He only occasionally listens to the reports of Guo Jia and the others. As soon as he put down his pen and ink and was about to take a break, he saw Guo Jia walking in in a hurry. He couldn't help but feel strange in his heart. His temperament can still sway slowly even if the sky falls. How could there be such a change?
"Why did Fengxiao Jixing come here? Could it be that things in Jingzhou have changed?" Now Guo Jia is only responsible for Jingzhou. If he is allowed to come here, it is naturally inseparable from Jingzhou.
Guo Jia walked into the hall and finally regained his former composure. He shook his head and sighed, "Master, there are capable people in Jingzhou, but Jia and Wenhe fell into trouble this time." His words were full of helplessness that the action failed.
Who are Guo Jia and Jia Xu? Looking at the combination of a genius and a poisonous man, who could make the two of them stumble? Zhen Yao was stunned, not because he was angry because Guo and Jia's plan failed, but because he felt incredible.
"Zhen Yao knocked on the desk, then raised his right index finger and said carefully, what is going on?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia slowly said that the month before last, after Liu Qi and Liu Biao died one after another, Cai Mao used Liu Biao's last edict as an excuse to recommend his nephew Liu Cong as the governor of the state, and asked him to express his gratitude to the emperor, and so did the lord."
Zhen Yao naturally knows that, after all, the seal is for marking, so don¡¯t be in a hurry and continue to wait for Guo Jia to continue.
"The incident in Jingzhou was so smooth that Jia thought something was going on for a while, so he continued to keep an eye on it, and sent people to contact Cai Mao, asking him to win over the local gentry, so as to build up his momentum."
"At this time, Huang Zu of Jiangxia suddenly raised his troops, turned his troops and marched westward. He mentioned that Cai Mao had killed Liu Biao and his son. At the same time, Huang Zhong of Changsha also declared that he wanted to avenge his old lord, but he did not send troops because he fled and stationed troops to protect Jiangdong."
In fact, Zhen Yao is also a little bit, because the news that Cai Yan killed the protagonist was intentionally released by Guo Jia, and the purpose was to make Cai Yan the only one to be the same.
Zhen Yao also knew that later Guo Jia asked for a Taoist edict to command Nanyang's troops and horses, and he also gave it to him at that time.
"With Wen Yuan and Zhang Xiu here, is it possible that Huang Zu is still no match for me? Is the army defeated?" This is what Zhen Yao was thinking, and of course that's what he asked.
Guo Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly. Not to mention Huang Zu, not even Huang Zhong, Wenpin and others who had rebelled successively would not be able to defeat the two generals under his lord's command. In fact, although Huang Zu and others entered the army, they could not defeat him. No one had any intention of starting a war. Jia and Wenhe's attention was completely attracted by the troops and horses mobilized from various places in Jingzhou, and they ignored the purpose of the layout."
Zhen Yao touched his chin and asked in confusion: divert his gaze? Why? "When he thought about it, what happened in Jingzhou could be said to be simple or complicated. As long as someone could get rid of more than half of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou controlled by Cai Mao, the Cai family could be defeated.
But the only way to achieve this is to start a war. As Guo Jia said, it is obvious that the two sides have not started a war, and once the war starts, it will be over in just over a month.
"Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were killed." As soon as Zhen Yao finished asking, Guo Jia revealed the answer. According to the report from the detective today, Cai Mao and others were killed by the primary school under the tent, and then Liu Pan, who lived in Hanshou, was elected. He came out, and with the support of Huang Zu, Wenpin, Huang Zhong and the old Cai family, he is about to take over the post of Jingzhou Mu."
"Liu Pan?" Zhen Yao was stunned for a moment, never expecting that this son of the Liu family, who seemed to be famous as a military general, would become the lord of Jingzhou. But after thinking about it for a moment, he was relieved. At the moment, he was the only one in Jingzhou who had this possibility.
"As far as Jia knows, although Liu Pan is Liu Biao's nephew, he was also adopted as his son. This man is familiar with many generals in Jingzhou. He led the troops into Jiangdong together with Wenpin, and he has great prestige in the army."
"Among Jingzhou scribes, this person also has connections. He seems to be on good terms with Liu Ba, a local celebrity. This time, he has the support of the Kuai family, Pang family and other big families. If he is not loyal to Liu Biao, Jia would have to consider this person's motives."
It can be said that the biggest flaw in Guo Jia and Jia Xu's operation is Liu Pan, because Liu Pan has always appeared in the public eye as a general of the Liu family. It feels like he has no connection with the lord, so this little mistake ultimately led to the failure of the plan.
Things in Jingzhou seem to be clear, but there are many problems. Although Cai MaoHe was not a capable man, but he still had some skills. How could he be killed simply? Thinking of this, Zhen Yao frowned and asked how did Cai Mao and others die? Why did the subordinates rebel? "
"Jiayi has no way of knowing about this matter." Guo Jia is not a know-it-all. He remotely controls the affairs of Jingzhou in Wuji. It is obviously impossible to take care of everything, not to mention that he has been diverted by others.
"However, there is one strange thing that Jia only discovered now. When Liu Biao was buried, people from all over Jingzhou came to see the funeral. Liu Pan also came in person, and there was another person who came with him. I'm afraid he has something to do with it."
"Who is it?" Zhen Yao's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped the key point of the matter.
"The compound surname is Zhuge, and the single name is the word 'Liang'." Guo Jia shook his head. Dao Jia also sent people to inquire about it, and only got the news yesterday. It is said that he is quite famous in Jingzhou. Even Liu Biao and Kuai Liang praised him several times. , it can be seen that this person has a lot of contacts with the major noble families in Jingzhou."
"Zhuge Liang?" Although it has been decades since he came to the late Han Dynasty, this name has a profound impact on the memory of his previous life. Hundreds of years later
Seeing Zhen Yao¡¯s expression change slightly, Guo Jia asked with some doubts, ¡°My lord, who is this son?¡± "
"? Of course" he thought in his heart, but on the surface Zhen Yao just smiled and shook his head. Zhuge Liang was a figure who was transformed into an immortal in later generations. When he was first reborn in the late Han Dynasty, he had imagined that he might be able to meet him one day. Unexpectedly, This is the first time I heard this name from an outsider. It actually means that we are facing each other.
If Liu Pan had Zhuge Liang to help him, then everything would make sense. Zhuge Liang said that he "worked hard in Longmu, and did not seek to learn from the princes." But he was an out-and-out scholar, and he often went in and out of the gentry.
?? His disciples, brother-in-law, his own family, and his future father-in-law are all famous for a while. Such a figure can help Liu Pan solve the problem of support from Jingzhou's wealthy families. It is not bad.
As for the "Death of Cai Mao", it was obviously Zhuge Liang's work. He was indeed easy to be despised when he was just starting out. No, it should be that he was ignored. Guo Jia and Jia Xu would have ignored him, otherwise they wouldn't have. Why did you think of investigating him so late?
"If it were someone else, such as Liu Ba, Liu Xian, or Zhuge's master Pang Degong, a great scholar who was famous throughout the southern Han Dynasty, I'm afraid Guo Jia wouldn't simply be fooled and concentrate on arranging things on the battlefield.
"Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming, is a descendant of the Zhuge family in Xuzhou who moved to Jingxiang and became a disciple of the famous celebrity Pang Degong. He learned the true biography of Pang Degong at Luming Mountain. He knows everything about art, politics, and strategy."
Slowly speaking of Zhuge Liang in his memory, Zhen Yao's expression did not change. He didn't know who his opponent was. That was the most troublesome thing. Now that his opponent had appeared, even if Pang De Gong came out, Zhen Yao would not be afraid at all, let alone Pang De Gong's. Disciple, young Zhuge Kongming
"Yao knew about this man because there was a saying in Jingzhou that was said by Shui Jing, 'Wolong and phoenix chick, one can make peace for the world.'" This is an explanation for being able to know Zhuge Liang's deeds.
Hearing such loud words, Guo Jia was surprised and couldn't help but laugh. Could it be that the master took it seriously? Which one is Zhuge Liang, Wolong or Fengxiao? "
" Zhen Yao waved his fingers when he heard this. Wolong refers to Zhuge. Feng Chu is Pang Tong, the nephew of Pang Degong. But what is very interesting is that Pang Tong did not study at Luming Mountain, but followed Sima Shuijing."
"Sima Shuijing, this person is well known to Jia. He lived in Yingchuan when he was young, and his mentor also brought Jia and Wenruo there to visit." Guo Jia nodded slightly, but he was very disdainful of Sima Hui's method of valuing his students. Even Master Xun , He only calls Wen Ruo Wang Zuo¡¯s talent, Shui Jing is not afraid of being laughed at for saying such big words.¡±
Seeing that Guo Jia¡¯s face was calm, Zhen Yao came up with the idea of ??joking. Even you, Guo Jia and Jia Xu, were tricked by Zhuge who just came out of the mountain. The title of Wolong is not outrageous, so don¡¯t be dissatisfied. "
In the face of the facts, Guo Jia did not refute. This time he admitted defeat and failed to fully grasp the overall situation. However, this also aroused the pride in Guo Jia's heart, and he kept thinking about whether he should fight with the so-called Give it a try with 'Wolong'
Zhen Yao knew about Guo Jia's thoughts. He thought that this was not the case. He was a lazy guy who only wanted to eat and drink. He didn't even want to teach. Finally, he was able to get some energy and let him and Zhuge Liang secretly find out. Anyway, the battle against Jingzhou was still a while away. Zhuge Liang can't let Zhuge Liang take over the entire Jingzhou so easily. If Guo Jia wants to make trouble, let him make it.
Although Guo Jia suffered a defeat in the matter of becoming the leader of the Jingzhou state, Zhen Yao never felt that he was in trouble and lost a battle. This was mostly because the enemy was in the dark and we were clear, and there was not enough preparation before the war." If Guo Jia waited for Guo Jia, If Jia fully understands the information and then competes with Zhuge, there will be a lot of fun.
After thinking for a while, Zhen Yao said that since the Lord of Jingzhou could not change the situation, he asked Zhang Liao and the others to guard Nanyang and not to get involved in Jingxiang's affairs or fight secretly.I leave it to you, Fengxiao, to deal with it. Yao has given you the opportunity. It depends on you whether you can regain your face."
"Thank you so much, lord." Guo Jia straightened his face and said sternly. The gratitude in his heart is self-evident. In this big man, only Zhen Yao can allow such 'nonsense'
Waving his hand, Zhen Yao said he didn't care at all. He picked up the pen in his hand again. After listening to the story, it was time to work on the copywriting in front of him.
Not to mention that after Guo Jia came out of the Prefectural Mufu, he went to Jia Xu to discuss how to fight back. At this time in Xiangyang City, Cai Zhong and Cai He expressed their surrender to Liu Pan after Cai Mao's death.
The Cai family wants to avenge their brother, but there is no way to deal with these two brothers. This is the shortcoming of a large family. In order to climb up, even eating each other happens from time to time. The most common one is the battle for the throne.
As for Liu Pan, he originally had a lot of prestige in Jingzhou. Now that Liu Biao and Liu Qi are dead, and Liu Cong is young and has no one to support him, he naturally becomes the only heir. He took Liu Ba, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, who had served Liu Qi as an official, and military general Wenpin to take over the post of Prefecture Mufu in the Prefecture Mufu.
As the saying goes, when an official takes office, he must have three things to do, and Liu Pan is no exception. Except for the two members of the Kuai family and the children of several big families, their official positions have not changed. The positions of Zhuge and Xu Shu have been promoted. Wenpin took over from Cai Mao. After several arrangements of positions, it can be considered that the old transition has been achieved, and the six counties of Jingzhou are safely in charge.
