    The person who stood up to refute Zhu Shuo was young and weak. He was from Jinyang, Taiyuan County. His surname was Wang Chang, and his courtesy name was Wenshu.  The most prominent surname in Taiyuan County is the Wang family, which produced a world-famous Situ Wang Yun. Wang Yun's nephew Wang Ling was forcibly recruited as a guest when Shi Xunmu was guarding Hedong, and was later recommended by Wang Can and others.  , now he is the governor of Yingzhou.  However, Wang Yun and Wang Ling, whose branches originated from Qixian County, and Wang Chang, the Jinyang Wang family, might have been the same family five hundred years ago, but now they can't even compete with each other.  It's just that they were all in the same county and had the same reputation. At that time, everyone regarded Wang Ling and Wang Chang as young handsome men. Wang Ling was older and Wang Chang was his brother. When the Wang family in Qixian County became prosperous again, the Wang family in Jinyang simply approached them with a shy face.  It was not uncommon at that time to merge two families into one clan. Large families always used the method of joining clans to snowball the power of the family. As long as it was not easy to ensure a large clan, the more people with the same surname were absorbed into the smaller clan,  If the leaves are luxuriant, the branches will be numerous, if the branches are numerous, the stems will be strong, and if the stems are strong, the roots will be solid.  When Cao Pi was the crown prince, Wang Ling recommended Wang Chang as the crown prince's literary scholar. Because of his extraordinary knowledge and elegant writing, he was respected by Cao Pi.  Wang Ling's original intention was not only to arrange a good position for this little brother, but also to facilitate the future prosperity of the Wang family after Cao Pi ascended the throne. Who would have thought that something unexpected would happen, and Cao Pi would be overthrown not long after he became the crown prince.  Wang Ling was disappointed and felt very sorry for Wang Chang. He just happened to be appointed governor of Yingzhou, so he invited Wang Chang to go with him.  After the restructuring of the Cao Wei Dynasty, state and county officials were mostly appointed by the court rather than appointed by the chiefs themselves. However, the chiefs still need a few close friends. Even if they do not occupy the establishment, they can also find opportunities to arrange some temporary positions. Once a certain amount is accumulated,  After meritorious deeds, it would be more convenient to ask the Ministry of Personnel to confer officials. After all, the system was first established and there were still many loopholes.  It would be strange if no one took advantage of the loophole.  However, Wang Chang refused, saying that Cao Pi treated him very well.  He would rather follow the vassal and become a minor official in the vassal.  Therefore, Cao Pi valued Wang Chang more.  He soon became a confidant.  Zhu Shuo persuaded Cao Pi to respond to Cao Chong's call and raise an army to rebel. There are two main reasons: first, this world should have been yours, the king. You were the prince, but you lost your position because of the villain; second,  He is not afraid of Cao Chong's ulterior motives, as he has never fought at all.  You are a man who has been in battle many times. As long as you use a little strength during the battle, you can win the military power. When the time comes, are you still afraid that Cao Cao will rush across the river and demolish the bridge, and then kill the donkey?  Of course, Zhu Shuo also said that I can only help you analyze the political situation. I don¡¯t know how to fight. If we respond to Cao Chong and raise troops to "clear the emperor's side", what are our chances of winning?  I'm not sure about this, please ask other people's opinions.  Wang Chang stood up to refute Zhu Shuo, and first said: "If you raise an army from the beginning, you will definitely lose" Today's general situation, as well as the banner raised by Cao Chong, are so similar to the "Wu Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion" during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty?  But that's only superficial similarity. If we really compare it in detail, we can't compare with Wu King Liu Bi. Liu Bi lost, let alone us?  "At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, all the great vassals were established. The strength of Wu and Chu made the world a three-in-one empire; now there are small vassals. Even if the four kings of Guandong combined their forces, they are not even eleven of the people in the world. The Han Dynasty conquered the heroes of the barbarians and destroyed all the kings with different surnames.  Hui and Wen Zhijing have many heroes, and their famous generals are withered. How can Chao Cuo and Wei Qi be as brave as Xiao and Zhang?  Although the world has passed away, there are many Cao and Xiahou, and strong soldiers and soldiers are still young. How can we resist it? "This kind of rebellion is simply impossible to succeed. No matter how many forces Cao Chong contacts, it will not be good for the Tian family?"  It is said that it is nothing more than ringworm and scabies.  "Moreover, the chaos between Wu and Chu was caused by Chao Cuo's reduction of feudal vassals, and the song was in the imperial court. There is no song in the court now, and King Liyang pointed to it and did not name it" You said that there is a villain who deceives the king and wants to "clear the king's side",  Then you mention the name of a villain, but in the end you just say it in such a general and vague way, then who can be convinced?  Besides, "The Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and the people had been fighting hard for a long time. Fortunately, the late emperor saved them from ruin. Who wants to repeat the war? The people are not attached to it, and the army is not strong, so what can we rely on?" Cao Pi said that I mentioned these points you mentioned.  I understand, that's why I hesitate to discuss it with you. What Zhu Yancai said is not unreasonable. Now that Cao Chong wants to drag me onto a pirate ship, I will die if I obey. Even if I refuse to respond, he spreads rumors everywhere. Can the court really believe me?  ?  I'm afraid that the day the chaos breaks out will be the day I die.  There is no constant victory, and the world is unpredictable. Maybe if you fight hard, there is some possibility of success?  Wang Chang shook his head and said: "Fifty-five points can be fought, but ninety-one points, there is no benefit in fighting, it will only hurt the ears of the army and the people. The king did not lose his virtue in Luoyang in the past, and all the ministers know it. I feel sorry for the king."  I don¡¯t know how many times there will be. When the changes in Guandong happen, the imperial court will be able to control the chaos. Only the Taiwei is a great assistant, and the emperor will call him back. He is a kindhearted man, but if he appeals to him, he will be willing to be a king.  Mother, the emperor wants to sin against the king, how can the emperor and the queen mother abandon each other? "  Cao Pi said so, I will wait and see. If the emperor really recalls Hongfu to take charge, I will return to the court. If Hongfu does not return just guys like Wang Jingxing and Hua Ziyu, even if Cao Zixiao,  I can't believe Cao Zilian, so I might as well give it a try.  Regardless of their relatives, Cao Pi and Shi Xun had an old friendship. He had followed Cao Cao into battle many times since he was a boy, and often dealt with Shi Xun. When he first attacked Yecheng, he even asked Shi Xun for advice on "beating the kettle".  Law.  Shi Xun had a sanctimonious look on his face, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, but at the same time he was not an old bureaucrat like Hua Xin and Wang Lang who were accustomed to changing the situation. Cao Pi believed that Shi Xun was more reliable than Hua and Wang in protecting himself.  .  As for the Cao and Xia lords, they are all warriors. They lack experience in governing, and their reputation among bureaucrats and scholar-officials is not as good as that in the military. That is another matter. Even if they want to protect themselves, they may be powerless.  So Xun is still the most reliable.  He took the initiative to ignore his uncle Cao De Cao Quji's "little transparent" attribute exploded again So while dealing with Cao Chong, he secretly investigated the situation in Luoyang.  Not long after, news came back that the emperor had summoned Hongfu and appointed him as Zhongshu Ling.  Cao Pi summoned his confidants again for discussion. Wang Chang said, "Why are you still hesitating? We didn't agree. Once the Taiwei returns, he will immediately return to the court. You should pack your bags immediately and rush to Luoyang for the funeral. You must also think about it in advance."  The reason for being late Cao Pi pondered for a long time, unable to make a decision.  Zhu Shuo gave another idea: "I have a plan, which may bring peace to the king, but I am afraid of harming the king's flesh and blood, so I dare not say anything rashly" Wang Chang suddenly woke up when he heard this, pointed his halberd at Zhu Shuo, and cursed angrily.  Said: "This plan is very poisonous. It is not what a minister should say, and it is not what a monarch should hear! You are a talented person and stay here!" Cao Pi said what kind of riddle are you playing? He was originally a very smart person, but  After all, you are in the middle of the game, and care will lead to chaos, so Yan Cai had a plan before he could react for a while. Just say it, I will never blame you.  He turned his head and bowed to Wang Chang again: "I am waiting for death, but I can live a whole life, why can't I hear it?" Wang Chang sighed softly: "I don't want to hear it, your Majesty, forgive me." He stood up.  , and left without looking back.  When Wang Chang left the house, Zhu Shuo whispered to Cao Pi: "Previously, King Liyang's envoy came. Yunbie sent people to talk about Juancheng and Rencheng. The king of Rencheng is still young, so he can ignore it. Juancheng  The king will secretly follow the king's will to determine the strategy" Cao Zhi must be looking at you with big eyes now. If you are willing to board the pirate ship, he will take the opportunity to get a share of the pie. If you are unwilling to follow Cao Chong, the chances of winning the rebellion will be even greater.  It's unclear, so he will definitely shrink "The king can pretend to be the king of Liyang and prepare to recruit troops, and the king of Juancheng will also turn against him. If he does, the king can secretly go to Chang'an to apologize, for fear that the military minister of Liyang will do it.  If we attack, we have to recruit troops to defend the city, so that we will be late to return. If the chaos is calmed down, Juancheng will be killed if it rebels. If the Empress Dowager loses a son, the king will be safe" "You first deceive Cao Zhi.  Get on the pirate ship, and then go to Luoyang for the funeral. After the chaos is over, Cao Zhi will undoubtedly die.  The Empress Dowager Bian gave birth to four of your sons in total. Cao Xiong died young and Cao Zhang died predeceased. When Cao Zhi dies again, she will only have you as her biological son. Can she not risk her life to protect you?  ?  When Cao Pi heard this, he couldn't help crying: "So, I am the one who killed Zijian" After crying, he wiped his nose and said okay, let's do it.  So he followed the plan, and finally Cao Pi left Anfeng in secret, traveling day and night, and arrived in Luoyang before Cao Cao was buried.  After he entered the city, he first ran to Shixun's house to report secretly to Shixun, but Shixun was shocked. He said in his heart that since Zihuan Ru returned to Luo, he had no objection. But you don't go to see the emperor.  , what is the purpose of coming to worship me first?  So I wrote the leave request myself, signed and approved it, and headed back home just after noon.  When he saw Cao Pi, Cao Zihuan fell to the ground and cried loudly. He also pulled Shixun's clothes and begged: "Sister-in-law, save me!" Shixun quickly pulled Cao Pi up and asked him: "Why is the king like this?"  Cao Pi said, Cao Chong sent people to incite me to rebel. I was waiting to kill him, but I was afraid that Cao Chong would take the opportunity to attack my Anfeng Kingdom. You know that our two countries are both in Luzhou, and the distance is not very far in the first place.  Cao Chong's preparations for rebellion revealed by the envoy seemed to be quite sufficient, and I couldn't help but feel less afraid.  As a prince, if you make any mistake in guarding a country, it is a serious crime according to the national law and you will have to be reduced by at least one rank.  So I was confused for a while, so I gave in and recruited troops to help defend the city. When everything was ready, I dared to return to Luoyang for the funeral.  However, I heard on the way that Cao Chong spread rumors everywhere, saying that I rebelled with him, and that he supported me as the commander-in-chief. In fact, I was the leader of the rebellion I am really covered in filth, and even jumping into the Yellow River cannot wash it away.  La!  In desperation, I had to secretly go to Luoyang and find my uncle-in-law first.If you abandon me, and you are so wise, you will be able to save me!  " Shixun had a slight change in his mind and couldn't help but sneered and asked: "If it is as the king said, why not send an envoy in advance to report the change?  Today, there is no one to play, and we have both ends of the headless rat, so we are closely guarding the situation?  "Since you have seen the envoy sent by Cao Chong, even if you don't dare to break up with him for a while, you should secretly send someone to Luoyang to report. In fact, you are keeping a wait-and-see attitude and are preparing for rebellion until you see him.  The situation is unfavorable, so you hurriedly got off the pirate ship and came here to apologize and beg for mercy? Little guy, you still want to fool me! (To be continued.) Mobile users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
