    "Master Marquis, the gifts are ready, and the greeting invitations have been sent to Lord Xun's house. Lord Xun's housekeeper replied that Lord Xun is waiting for Lord Marquis at the house today." Early the next morning, Lu Rui got up and  Xu Shu came to meet Lu Rui and told Lu Rui everything he had planned. Xun Yu was already waiting for Lu Rui at his house.  "Well, thank you Yuan Zhi. Yuan Zhi will go with me to Xun Yu's house. The gift list still has to be left to Yuan Zhi to take care of." "No!" Xu Shu followed Lu Rui into the carriage and went to Xun Yu's house.  Xun Yu¡¯s mansion is to the east of Xudu, and Lu Rui¡¯s mansion is to the west of Xudu. The two mansions must pass through the Xudu prefect¡¯s mansion.  "Master Marquis, the road ahead is blocked, should we take a detour?" When they arrived near the prefect's mansion, the driver stopped, opened the curtain, and reported to Lu Rui.  "Oh?" Lu Rui glanced along the opened curtain and saw many imperial students gathered in front of Xudu Prefect's Mansion. The leader was Kong Rong, who seemed to be petitioning.  "Yuan Zhi, what's going on? Go and have a look." "No!" Xu Shu cupped his hands, got off the carriage, and walked towards a group of imperial students.  After a while, Xu Shu came back and reported what happened to Lu Rui.  It turned out that Cao Pi was imprisoned in an ordinary cell in Xudu, and soon spread in Xudu.  Cao Pi's incident also launched a series of discussions in Xudu.  Some people think that although Cao Pi made inappropriate remarks, he still rescued some soldiers and most of the civil and military personnel in Dazhai, and his merits and demerits can be balanced.  Some people think that Cao Pi was too cruel and refused to save him, no matter whether he had any merit or not, it would have no effect and he must be beheaded.  Generally speaking, all public opinions are for Cao Pi to be punished, and the punishment is very severe. Except for the death penalty, all other punishments are life-ruining punishments.  Kong Rong was certainly a supporter of Cao Pi¡¯s execution.  When Kong Rong knew that Cao Pi was being imprisoned in an ordinary cell in Xudu, he started to make trouble. Kong Rong publicized that Cao Pi was in an ordinary cell because Cao Cao deliberately did it to let people rob the prison.  Kong Rong has gathered many imperial students now just to let Xu Du Prefecture keep Cao Pi prisoner, so that Cao Pi cannot escape before receiving his punishment.  "I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen anyone so stupid." After hearing Xu Shu's description, Lu Rui shook his head. Even smart people could see that Cao Cao used Cao Pi to test the civil and military skills of the court.  As long as the civil and military officials in the court felt that there was no problem with Cao Pi being imprisoned in an ordinary cell, then Cao Cao could infer the bottom line of these civil and military officials in the court and would not need to execute Cao Pi.  This will give Cao Cao some room.  Kong Rong stood up at this time and gathered a group of Tai students, which was simply a death-defying rhythm.  "Don't pay attention to Kong Wenju. He's a clown. He won't be around for a few days. Let's take a detour." Lu Rui waved his hand and told the driver to change the route.  "No!" Because of Kong Rong's incident.  Lu Rui delayed some time, and when he arrived at Xun Yu's house, Xun Yu had already finished dressing up, had breakfast, and was reading in the study.  "I've met the Marquis!" Lu Rui got off the carriage, and Xun Yu's housekeeper came to salute Lu Rui.  Xun Yu's housekeeper was named Lao Wang, and he was an old servant who had followed Xun Yu for many years.  Xun Yu always lived a frugal life.  In addition to the steward Wang, there are some servants brought from the Xun family in his house. The servant Xun Yu who was given by Cao Cao has been dismissed.  "Well, thank you, Butler Wang. I have brought some gifts for Teacher Xun. I also asked Butler Wang to discuss with Butler Xu in my house later and store the gifts in the treasury." "Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Butler Wang said to Lu.  Rui returned the gift and then introduced Lu Rui into Xun Yu's study.  At this time Xun Yu was making tea in the study.  "Master, the Marquis is here." Lao Wang and Xun Yu are called master and servant. In fact, Lao Wang is like one of Xun Yu's elders. He calls Xun Yu casually in private. Lu Rui has long been used to it.  Weird.  "Bufan is here, sit down. I just made some tea. Bufan can give me some advice." "Old Wang, no one can come in without my instructions." After Xun Yu asked Lu Rui to sit down, he waved his hand and asked Wang  The butler withdrew.  "Teacher Xun, Rui is polite." Lu Rui sat opposite Xun Yu and saluted Xun Yu.  "No need to be too polite. When did Bufan take etiquette seriously? Ever since Bufan became a marquis, he has been favored by the Prime Minister, but under the Prime Minister's rule, no etiquette has been taught." Xun Yu smiled slightly and handed a cup of tea to him.  Got Lu Rui.  "The teacher still understands Rui. In this case, Rui won't be too polite." Lu Rui drank the tea in front of him in one gulp, and then sat lazily across from Xun Yu, just like he was discussing matters with Guo Jia.  "Hey, it's all about filial piety that ruins people." "Bufan, although you and I are called masters and disciples, I didn't teach you anything, just some things that ordinary masters teach. Of course I know the reason why Bufan came today  , I also figured out what happened in Guilin County.?The personality will not be biased towards one side, is it satisfactory to be extraordinary?  "As soon as Lu Rui sat down, Xun Yu went straight to the point. Smart people talk without beating around the bush. "A teacher is a teacher. Of course Rui doesn't dare to show off in front of the teacher. Rui is already very satisfied with the teacher's answer.  Thank you teacher for handling Zihuan¡¯s matter fairly.  "Lu Rui cupped his hands and answered Xun Yu. "Okay, Bufan is satisfied. Now it's time for me to ask questions. Does Bufan know that there have been some rumors about Xu Du in recent days?  "Xun Yu's face changed and he looked at Lu Rui seriously. "Rumors?" "Yes, there are some rumors about the Prime Minister. Some officials believe that the Prime Minister has made great contributions and can be promoted to the title of King. I wonder what Bufan thinks about this matter.  Should or shouldn¡¯t?  "  " Lu Rui expressed his point of view very directly. Now even if Cao Cao wants to proclaim himself emperor, no one in the world can stop him. " Bufan, you  "Xun Yu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Lu Rui would dare to say such treacherous words in front of him. However, Xun Yu then thought about it. Even if Xun Yu went to report, what's the use now? After Cao Cao's southern expedition, the princes in the south were already  At the end of the war, it is impossible for Yuan Xi in the north to destroy Cao Cao. Even if the world does not belong to Cao, the general situation of the world is still under the control of the Cao family. "Teacher Xun, Rui is just telling the truth. Teacher Xun has been following the Prime Minister.  , of course knowing that the Prime Minister has the ability to pacify the people of the world, Qin will lose its deer, and the world will chase it away.  Now that the Han Dynasty has lost its deer, why can't Cao take his place?  " "Teacher Xun has repeatedly declined the Prime Minister's kindness.  I'm afraid that the Prime Minister has already been dissatisfied in his heart, so Teacher Xun had better take care of himself.  " " Bufan you Okay, okay, okay, I don't want to talk to you anymore today. I was born as a man, and I will die as a ghost of a man.  If the Prime Minister wants to go against the will of heaven, I will never sit idly by and ignore it.  "  As expected by Lu Rui, Xun Yu could not make any big waves and could only fight with Cao Cao. However, Sima Yi was one step ahead of Lu Rui when he tested Xun Yu. Lu Rui had no idea what Sima Yi's plan was.  After arriving at Xun Yu's mansion, he went to Xudu Prison to visit Cao Pi, and then returned to his own mansion. Lu Rui told Cao Jie about his visit to Xun Yu, and asked Cao Jie to tell Mrs. Bian to feel at ease.  , Xun Yu will handle Cao Pi's matter fairly. Cao Jie was very happy after hearing this, and went to rest after dinner, leaving Lu Rui alone in the study. "Master Hou, the information from the Sima family is back.  "In the middle of the night, Xu Shu came to Lu Rui's study. "What's going on in the Sima family?  " "Reporting to Lord Marquis, the Sima family has recently been visiting the heads of the Han Dynasty's aristocratic families.  It seems that he is planning to go to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to confer the prime minister as the king of Wei.  "Xu Shu bowed his hands and reported back to Lu Rui. "The Sima family wants to take the lead?  "Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. It is no secret that Cao Cao wants to replace the Han Dynasty with Cao Cao. Now everyone under Cao Cao is planning for Cao Cao to become emperor. It is not surprising that the Sima family is following the trend, but this does not seem to have anything to do with Sima Yi testing Xun Yu. Could it be that Sima Yi is  Acting alone? "Master Hou, the Sima family is one of the most decisive families in the Han Dynasty. It is reasonable to want to take the lead at this time.  " "By the way, what happened to Sima Yi?  " "Master Hou.  Sima Yi didn't do anything unusual. He returned home from guard duty every day in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He worked diligently and was highly praised by everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.  " "Honest Sima Yi?  "Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. Sima Yi was too honest, which gave Lu Rui no room to make a move. "Send someone to keep an eye on Sima Yi and report any information to me at any time.  " "No!  " In Xudu's cell, Cao Pi has been moved to a single cell by Man Chong. After Kong Rong protested, not many people supported it. Cao Cao's goal has been achieved, and naturally Cao Pi will not suffer anymore. Although he is in a single cell  It's relatively clean, but Cao Pi's heart is still very low and he hasn't even eaten a few bites of his prison meal. "Second Young Master, someone is here to see you.  "The cell leader suddenly came over and opened Cao Pi's cell. Cao Pi had just changed into clean clothes, with fresh marks on his face from being scratched by prisoners in ordinary cells. He slowly raised his head. "See you.  Pass the Second Young Master!  "It turned out that Sima Yi and Sima Ai came to give Cao Pi the meals cooked by Mrs. Bian and the brocade clothes embroidered by her own hands. Mrs. Bian knew that Cao Pi would not be able to adapt to the life in the prison cell, soI made these myself, but I couldn't take them myself, so I had to ask two people from the Prime Minister's Office to join the army.  "It turns out that two of them joined the army. I didn't expect that I, Cao Pi, would end up like this. In addition to Brother Chong and Brother Rui, there are two other people who joined the army. I remember you."  Because of my love, I cannot come to visit the second young master in the cell. My wife knows that the second young master must not adapt to life in the cell, so she specially sent me to bring these food and clothes for the second young master's use." Sima Yi cupped his hands and answered Cao Pi.  "What Zhongda said is true. Please don't be discouraged, Second Young Master. Many people in the Prime Minister's Palace care about the Second Young Master." Sima Awe followed Sima Yi's words and answered Cao Pi. He kept wondering in his heart why Sima Yi wanted to come to Cao Pi with him.  Send clothes and food.  It was clearly Mrs. Bian who found me first.  "There is an assassin!" Suddenly, the jailer screamed in the cell, and an assassin broke into the cell.  "Cao Pi is here, kill!" Suddenly, a large number of masked assassins poured into the entrance in front of Cao Pi's cell.  "What?" Cao Pi was stunned for a moment and looked up. Several assassins were already rushing towards Cao Pi.  "Zhongda, quickly block the gate!" Sima Ai was always a Yellow Turban general who had experienced wars. He quickly made a judgment. Only by blocking the gate could he have a chance to escape.  "Huh? Well!" Sima Yi looked at the assassin and was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. He and Sima Yi quickly piled the tables and chairs in Cao Pi's cell to the door of the prison.  ?Midnight.  Outside Lu Rui's room, Xu Shu called in a low voice.  "Master Hou, Master Hou, something big has happened, please come out." "Oh?" Lu Rui was sleepy, but he could hear Xu Shu's voice, if it wasn't something very important.  Xu Shu would not bother him at this time.  Lu Rui gently put down Cao Jie in his arms, put on his robe and left the room.  "Yuan Zhi, what happened?" "Master Hou, the second young master was stabbed in prison." "What, how is Zihuan?" "The second young master is not seriously injured. It's just that the two Sima soldiers in the Prime Minister's Palace have suffered  He was seriously injured and unconscious. The Prime Minister asked the Marquis to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately to discuss the matter. " Xu Shu cupped his hands and reported back to Lu Rui.  "Hurry, prepare the car, Yuan Zhi, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately." The two Sima who joined the army were Sima Yi and Sima Ting.  Sima Yi's life or death is nothing. Sima Awe is Lu Rui's chess piece in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If something happens to Sima Awe, Lu Rui will suffer a lot of losses.  "Call Hua Tuo and ask him to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together." "No!" Lu Rui took Hua Tuo and Xu Shu to the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly. After Hua Tuo's diagnosis and treatment, Sima Yi and Sima Ying were both seriously injured.  sinews.  But with prompt treatment, there should be nothing serious.  After hearing Hua Tuo's words, Lu Rui nodded and told Hua Tuo to take good care of the two of them.  When Hua Tuo was treating the two of them, Lu Rui also learned what happened from Man Chong's mouth.  Tonight, a large number of assassins suddenly broke into Xudu Yamen, targeting Cao Pi.  Fortunately, Sima Yi and Sima were afraid and wise, and blocked the prison door for a quarter of an hour, otherwise Cao Pi and the other three would have died.  According to Man Chong¡¯s description.  The experience of the three people was a narrow escape from death. If Man Chong hadn't been at the government office tonight to handle the official documents and handled them promptly, I'm afraid they would be the bodies of the three of them now.  "Sima Yi's plan to kill the enemy?" As soon as Lu Rui heard Man Chong's description, it occurred to him that this was Sima Yi's plan.  Use the bitter trick to gain the gratitude of the Cao family and the favor of Cao Pi.  But when Lu Rui thought about it, it seemed that it was not quite right.  In order to use a bitter trick, did Sima Yi need to be injured so seriously?  Hua Tuo's diagnosis and treatment almost cost him his life.  "Bo Ning?" When Cao Cao saw Lu Rui coming, he called several important advisers into the study.  "My subordinate deserves to die. He neglected to defend himself, which caused the second young master to almost" Man Chong saw Cao Cao questioning him and quickly confessed.  "Okay, Bonin, I am not a pedantic person. Don't talk about these things. More than a hundred government officials have died. No matter how much you defend yourself, it is useless. But I am somewhat interested in these people.  Who on earth has such a big hand and can mobilize so many people to assassinate in Xudu?" Cao Cao glanced at Man Chong, hoping to get the answer from Man Chong's eyes.  "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, forgive me. Chong can't find any clues about this group of people. They are all outsiders, and they all have poison in their mouths. If they fail, they will commit suicide by taking poison." Man Chong cupped his hands and looked at him with a guilty look on his face.  Cao Cao.  "Bufan, what do you think? Could it be someone from Kong Rong's side?" Cao Cao turned his attention to Lu Rui, wanting to hear Lu Rui's thoughts.  ¡°Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Kong Rong had sent people to create public opinion outside the prefect¡¯s mansion earlier.?It would be unwise to send more assassins. Rui believed that Kong Rong would not be the mastermind, and with so many assassins, Kong Rong might not be strong enough.  "Lu Rui cupped his hands and expressed his analysis. Since Kong Rong had already mobilized the imperial students to carry out a movement earlier, he would not send anyone to assassinate him. This is obviously a stupid chess piece. Although Kong Rong has nothing  Although Kong Rong is from a well-established family, he is not so wise in diagnosis and treatment. There are not so many dead men in the family. It may be the result of the cooperation of several well-known families.  What's your opinion?  " "My lord, my subordinates believe that Kong Rong did this. They first sent the imperial students to cause trouble outside the prefect's mansion, imprisoned the second young master in a single cell, and then sent people to assassinate him. This is a series of plans.  "Guo Jia is not stupid. When he saw Cao Cao asking this question a second time, he already guessed what Cao Cao meant. "Well, Bu Fan, you are too young. Feng Xiao's words make sense. Think about it carefully.  " "That makes sense?  "Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Cao Cao was indeed a tyrant. He wanted to use this matter to make a fuss and incorporate Kong into the crime. On the one hand, he could attack Liu Xie's power, and on the other hand, he could let Cao Pi off the hook and reduce resistance. "  Prime Minister Yingming Rui also believes that Kong Rong is highly suspicious, but we have no evidence, I'm afraid  "After Lu Rui understood Cao Cao's thoughts, he began to test Cao Cao. Because of Kong Rong's special status, no one could touch Kong Rong without Cao Cao's approval. "What do you think Bufan should do  .?  "Cao Cao asked Lu Rui in return. "Kong Rong often makes rude remarks. Rui believes that someone should be sent to monitor Kong Rong. Once Kong Rong makes any omission, we can arrest Kong Rong immediately and pin the matter on Kong Rong.  " Lu Rui cupped his hands and reported back to Cao Cao. "Okay, I'll leave this matter to Feifan. Also, Zihuan was assassinated in prison and was seriously injured. The court meeting to deal with Zihuan was postponed until Zihuan recovered. What can everyone do?  Opinion?  "In order to give Lu Rui time, and also give himself time, Cao Cao used a strategy of killing Li Daitao. "The prime minister is wise!  "Everyone understands Cao Cao's intentions, and of course they know what their responsibilities are. PS: Thank you for your great support!!!!
