Chapter 77 Undercurrent

Xiahou Hui lowered his eyelids.

She had been married to Sima Shi for more than three years and had been together day and night. How could she not hear Sima Shi's voice? Sima Yi was obviously unwilling to hold back Lu Xun, but he might have used this opportunity to kill someone with a knife and read Cao Xiu's joke.

Xiahou Hui was silent for a moment. "Husband, uncle, Sikong, Grand Sima, and General were ordered by Emperor Wen to assist His Majesty. Now the undercurrents in the court and the country are surging. It is the ministers who serve Emperor Wen and His Majesty. When you serve Emperor Wen and His Majesty, you must not lose your own position because of the small amount."

Sima Shi nodded and agreed. "I, Aweng, will naturally be loyal and sincere when I received the order of Emperor Wen. But my position is jealous and the tree attracts the wind. I, Aweng, led the army with a minister of a different surname, will inevitably attract criticism and demand everywhere. A gentleman does not give his relatives to him. When Emperor Wen was alive, he could still balance his relatives with his virtuous people. Now Your Majesty only values ​​the royal family and excludes the ministers. It is difficult for people to feel at ease."

Xiahou Hui glanced at Sima Shi. "Husband, you're thinking too much."

"Why do you say that?"

"Your Majesty summoned the King of Yongqiu and his son to the capital, but it may not be necessary to value the King of Yongqiu. Perhaps it is just as you said, there is a balance. The four important officials in the Great Wei, east, south and north, and the royal family and different surnames each account for two. Now the general is in poor health and the war in Guanzhong is in a tight position. Your Majesty must be prepared. It is true that King of Yongqiu can inherit the General's responsibility, but what Your Majesty values ​​more may be the inner alchemy technique. If the inner alchemy technique is really beneficial to life and prolong life, it will be guaranteed to be the general for three or five years, I am afraid that King of Yongqiu may not have a chance."

Xiahou Hui reached out to hold Sima Shi. "But if there was a problem with the Grand Sima at this time, it would be hard to say."

Sima Shi's eyes twitched, and he immediately understood what Xiahou Hui meant. He immediately felt nervous and said for a while: "It shouldn't be."

Xiahou Huiyu said earnestly: "It's best not to."

Sima Shi stopped talking, his face changed and he regretted it. It was too late to say everything now, I just hope that Cao Xiu would not defeat him too ugly and hurt his vitality. If Cao Zhi really let Cao Xiu take over and sit in the southeast, it would be really a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

"Husband, how is Ah Mei's marriage going? Is there someone I like?"

Sima Shi looked back at Xiahou Hui with a puzzled look. "You mean... that crazy prince?"

"Why don't hear him better than seeing him. Since you are curious about him, why not meet him in person? Proposing marriage is the most appropriate reason. You can also try the reactions of all parties, especially the one in the palace."

Sima Shi thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows gently and said with a smile: "Yuanrong, your idea is interesting. However, you must not let Amei know, otherwise she will hate you for the rest of her life."

When Cao Miao left the door, it was already dark and there were almost no pedestrians on the road.

But there was a car parked on the side of the road opposite, with several knights standing next to the car, looking at this side. Seeing Cao Miao and his party, the knights standing next to the car stretched their heads and said a few words, then a man came out of the car, looked around, and quickly met.

Cao Miao could see clearly that it was the middle-aged scholar who was following Gongsun Huang.

There might be someone from Cao Shuang's mansion behind him watching. Cao Miao could not go to the ground, so he had to attach himself to Ah Hu's ear and ask him to ask him to find out his purpose. As soon as he finished explaining, the man came to the front and bowed to salute.

"I'm here Chen Xuan, the servant of Gongsun Envoy. I heard that the prince was visiting and the emperor was not here and missed it. The emperor ordered me to wait here. Is the prince... unable to drink?"

Cao Miao wanted to chat with Gongsun Huang, but had to remain silent. Qingtao was clever and agreed with Chen Xuan that he would come back tomorrow and thank Gongsun Huang for giving him a horse.

Chen Xuan understood and said that Gongsun Huang would definitely wait in the residence tomorrow, and enthusiastically expressed that he could use a carriage to take Cao Miao back. Qingtao expressed his gratitude and asked Ah Hu to send Cao Miao to the carriage prepared by Chen Xuan. Qingtao also got on the carriage to take care of Cao Miao.

Chen Xuan and Ahu walked on horses, chatting while walking, and seemed to ask about some situations casually. When they learned that Cao Miao had gone to Yangshi City, Chen Xuan laughed. "There are many heroes in the city, and there are several rangers in Yangshi City that are very famous. However, in terms of number, there are more horseshi markets. After all, most of the rangers ride horses, but no cows or sheep rides."

Cao Miao's heart moved and said a few words to Qingtao's ear. Qingtao asked, "Is Chen Jun familiar with the horse market? My prince also wants to buy some horses. If Chen Jun can help, it would be the best."

Chen Xuan agreed immediately. "If the prince doesn't dislike him, he is willing to serve him. Although he dare not say he is familiar with him, there are still a few friends. After all, Liaodong has good horses, and I, Liaodong merchants, are many in the city of Ma."

"Then I'll thank Chen Jun first. Chen Jun has been in Luoyang for many years, and I guess he is not only familiar with Ma City, right?"

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "I don't dare to be familiar with it, but after living there for a long time, I can always know some people. If the prince gives me any instructions, even if I can't do my best, I can recommend some people."

"Is Chen Jun familiar with the cloth market? My prince wants to buy some clothes, but he doesn't know where to buy good cloth, especially Shujin."

"Shu Jin." Chen Xuan smiled with a smile on his beard. "Then you don't have to go to Bushi, just go to Shu Mansion. The best Shu Jin is in Shu Mansion. Buying brocade from them is not only authentic, but also much cheaper."

"That's great." Qingtao bowed and gave a bow. "I'll ask Chen Jun to recommend it at that time."

"Sure, certain." Chen Xuan politely returned a gift.

After sending Cao Miao back to Yongqiu residence, Chen Xuan took the carriage back to Liaodong residence and headed straight to the backyard. Gongsun Huang was playing with the short knife under the lamp. Hearing Chen Xuan's footsteps, he looked up and signaled Chen Xuan to sit opposite him.

Chen Xuan reported on the meeting with Cao Miao. When he learned that Cao Miao would come to visit tomorrow, Gongsun Huang thought for a moment. "Yuan Ang, you said that Cao Miao took the initiative to show his goodwill, could he hear any news? Will the golfer in Yangshi be the eyes and ears of the Yongqiu Palace?"

"What the envoy said is very good, and he has to be careful. But for the moment, it should be related to rumors not long ago."

Gongsun Huang lowered his head and looked at the short knife on the desk. "Is this what Tianli means, or what he means?"

Chen Xuan shook his head. "No matter who means it, it is the emperor's intention in the end. Without the emperor's acquiescence, the school affairs office will not cooperate with them. Although King Yongqiu has commanded the school affairs, so many years have passed. Even if the old subordinates were not cleaned up by the late emperor, they would lose their power and would not be able to protect themselves. They dare not risk their lives to stand up for King Yongqiu. King Yongqiu's father and son were alone, and they could only use the power of the emperor to be the emperor's minions."

Gongsun Huang let out a sigh and smiled bitterly: "Yes, the name has been determined. Even if King Yongqiu is talented, he will not be able to turn things around."

Chen Xuan lowered his head. "The envoy is rich in spring and autumn, and has great talents, and it is not impossible for him to unify the world in his lifetime. At that time, Liaodong will be able to be more capable than the envoy in Luoyang and serve the court for a long time."

Gongsun Huang nodded and said quietly: "Yuan Ang, I am afraid that the emperor will hide all the bows and kill people to silence them."

"So it is rare to make friends with the Yongqiu Palace. If someone informs you, at least there is still time to consider countermeasures so you won't be caught off guard."
