Farmer of Shu Han

For more than half a year, the border between Luoyang and Guanzhong, and between the Han and Wei countries has been tightly sealed.

This is also one of the reasons why Mi Shishilang was a little embarrassed about Deng Yang's request.

The channel has been cut off, where can I find the secret medicine for him?

Since the First World War in Guanzhong, the domestic situation in Wei State has changed not only extremely fast, but also enormous.

Mi Shishilang collected a lot of information, but there was no way to send it out in time.

Moreover, his activities in the Wei state also required the support of the Dahan channel.

The most important thing is that because he has broken contact with the big man, he has no direction at all on what to do next.

Now that he saw Han Long coming, he was naturally very happy.

On the contrary, it was Han Long who confirmed the news of Yang Yi's surrender to the enemy from Mi Shishilang's mouth, and was even more worried about Mi Shishilang's situation:

"Jun Hou sent me here because he was worried that Yang Yi's defection would implicate Mi Lang-Jun."

"After all, this person has been the prime minister for many years and knows many military secrets, among which there must be a detailed list."

"Although Junhou has never mentioned the existence of Mi Langjun to the outside world, he is always afraid of the unexpected."

"What's more, Mr. Mi Lang is originally a relative of the Han Emperor, so Yang Yi should know Mr. Mi Lang."

"If Yang Yi finds out that Mr. Mi Lang is also in the Wei Kingdom one day, and becomes suspicious, Mr. Mi Lang will be in a dangerous situation! Please also ask Mr. Mi Lang to go back with me."

Hearing Han Long's words, Mi Shishilang's face changed slightly:

"I returned to Luoyang from Xuchang just to avoid meeting Yang Yi as much as possible, and I didn't think of this in a hurry."

He wasn't worried about himself.

Not to mention that Yang Yi is in Xuchang now, even if he came to Luoyang, so what if he accidentally saw him?

After all, who in the powerful circle didn't know what happened between Feng Guiwang and Mi Langjun back then?

Over the years, many people in Luoyang City knew that he was forced by King Feng Gui, so they left Shu.

The most important thing is that the secret work of Feng Guiwang and the prime minister's mansion are two parallel teams.

The two groups of people do not belong to each other and do not know each other.

The reason why Mi Shishilang's face changed was because Han Long reminded him that he suddenly realized:

If Yang Yi really had the secret list sent by the prime minister, how many people would die at the hands of thieves?

Although the spy workers sent to the enemy country are basically with the will to die.

But these colleagues, who contributed to the country, died quietly in the end, and they might not even know their names.

It is also a fine work, and Mi Langjun naturally feels the most empathy for this, he only feels that there is a weight in his heart, and he is a little out of breath.

He made up his mind:

"This matter should not be underestimated. In the past two days, I will try to find out."

Seeing Mi Shishilang like this, Han Long couldn't help feeling a little anxious:

"Mi Lang-jun, the most important thing right now is to return to Dahan. Feng Junhou said that there is no need for Mi Lang-jun to stay in Luoyang now, so I ask Mi Lang-jun not to take any risks."

Mi Shishilang shook his head:

"Feng Junhou is far away in Guanzhong, how can he understand the situation here better than me? I believe that my stay here is far more important than going back."

He looked at Han Long and emphasized his tone:

"On the contrary, sir, you must be prepared to go back to the big man at any time. I have a lot of news here, which needs to be brought back to Junhou."

"If the situation permits, I will send a caravan to Jingzhou in the name of buying and selling in a few days. My husband will follow me. There should be no doubts."

Hebei and Luoyang are indeed tightly blocked.

But Wei Wu's border in Jingzhou is very loose.

As long as you can enter Nanjun, everything will be fine.

After all, Jingzhou has the warehouse (stronghold) of Xinghanhui.

The Jingzhou route is one of Mi Langjun's alternative routes.

Now that Hebei and Tongguan can't get through, it's time to start the Jingzhou route.

With the name of Princess Qinghe, I believe this matter will not arouse suspicion.

Seeing Mi Shishilang's resolute tone, Han Long sighed. At the same time, he was also moved by the other party's decision. He clasped his fist heavily:

"From the great man, to the general, and down to the common man, there are many sayings, 'destroy the thieves and rejuvenate the Han'. There are countless generous people with lofty ideals. From this, it can be seen that the great man will prosper!"

Mi Shishilang smiled bitterly, and then heaved a long sigh.

In the beginning, he really just wanted to come to Wei to escape.

Who the hell knows how it could be like this?

Well, maybe I really met a ghost king.

"In life, you always have to do something meaningful, so that it is worthwhile to take a trip to the world."

Mi Shishilang's tone was a bit erratic:

"Destroy the thieves and calm the chaos, restore the peace of the world, protect the peace of the people, save future generations from the suffering of war and chaos, restore the prestige of the Han family, connect the heavens and the earth, and do everything."

"Thinking about this matter, if it can really be achieved in my hands, it is probably the most meaningful thing..."

Otherwise, what else could he do?

The situation in the world is leaning more and more towards the big man.

Whether it is forced or voluntary, I have done so many things, why don't I stick to it?

What's the point of giving up halfway like Yang Yi did?

"It's also possible that I really want to prove myself and do something meaningful."

It is said that in times of war, the people will not suffer anywhere.

But the time he came to Wei State was not too short, and he found that the people of Wei State were far more miserable than those under the rule of the big Han.

Thinking of this, Mi Shishilang laughed: "When a man is alive, if he has the opportunity to exterminate the thieves and rejuvenate the country, leaving his name in history, why should he cherish this body?"

He didn't want to be a man at first, but the world is impermanent.

Han Long also laughed: "Excellent! Big man!"

With great pride in his chest, Han Long couldn't control his emotions:

"Someone is quite confident in his own skills, why not go to Xuchang and stab that thief Yang Yi to death?"

When Mi Shishilang heard this, he hurriedly stopped him:

"It's absolutely impossible! When Yang Yi first arrived in Wei, it was the time to be cautious, and I'm afraid he won't leave opportunities for others."

"Furthermore, Xuchang is now the place where Wei's false emperor resides, and it is heavily guarded. Even if Mister succeeds, it may be difficult for him to escape unscathed."

"To this day, what Yang Yi can say, I'm afraid he has already told Wei thief all of it. It's really not worth the risk, sir."

"The most important thing right now is to pass the news of the Wei state back to the big man, and the matter of Yang Yi will be discussed separately in the future."

Hearing Mi Shishilang's strong opposition, Han Long nodded in response.

On the second day, before the sun was in the middle of the sky, Princess Qinghe sent someone to Juepinju, saying that she wanted to eat Juepinju's food for lunch today.

Mi Shishilang didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly asked someone to cook the signature dish, and then delivered it to the princess' mansion himself.

Of course, Mi Shishilang is not qualified to walk through the front door.

Instead, they were sent in through the small gate of the Houfu.

While Mi Shishilang was delivering food to Princess Qinghe's mansion, Xia Houxuan's mansion also welcomed a guest.

"How can the Taifu come here when you have time?"

Xia Houxuan, who was like a jade tree facing the wind, faced the actual highest authority in Luoyang, with a calm face, as if he was just receiving an ordinary friend.

Sima Yi didn't care.

In today's Great Wei Dynasty, "Xuan Yuan's learning" is becoming more and more popular, and it pays attention to not being surprised, and keeping calm in front of the thunder is the demeanor of a celebrity.

If Xiahou Xuanran was moved because of his visit, then how could he be pushed as the head of "Xuanyuan Learning"?

"Tai Chu, long time no see."

With an affectionate smile on his face, Sima Yi warmly greeted Xia Houxuan.

Seeing the Taifu's attitude, Xia Houxuan still had a calm expression on his face:

"The Grand Tutor is busy with his affairs, yet he still condescends to take the time to come to the humble house, which is beyond Xuan's expectations."

Sima Yi looked at Xia Houxuan's appearance, feeling a little helpless:

"Won't Tai Chu invite me in for a sit down?"

Xia Houxuan didn't speak yet, but Master Sima who was following Sima Yi called out worriedly, "My lord?"

Xia Houxuan's gaze fell on Master Sima, and immediately became sharp:

"Those with human faces and animal hearts are not allowed to enter the gate of Xiahou Mansion!"

When Master Sima heard this, his face turned pale at first, then flushed again, and finally turned purple.

His original partner, Xiahou Hui, is exactly Xiahouxuan's own sister.

Sima Shi personally poisoned Xiahou Hui to death, declaring that Xiahou Hui died suddenly.

Sudden death is not a good word.

More like a curse, not a good death.

For Xia Houxuan, his sister gave birth to five daughters for Master Sima, and there have been no rumors of poor health.

Unexpectedly, not long after Sima Yi led the army back to Luoyang, my sister sent a letter, saying that Sima's family was definitely not a loyal minister of the Great Wei.

Then Amei suddenly died for no apparent reason.

If there are no twists and turns, who would believe it?

In fact, if Xia Houxuan hadn't made friends with Sima Yi when he was young, and coupled with Sima Yi's identity, Xia Houxuan might even want to drive Sima Yi out.

Both of Sima Shi's cheeks faintly showed protruding gums, showing that he was on the verge of eruption at this time.

Sima Yi didn't seem to understand Xia Houxuan's implication, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.

But it seemed that he heard it, and he turned his head and said to Master Sima:

"Ziyuan wait outside, I'll go in and talk to Taichu about something."

Sima Shi lowered his head deeply: "Yes, my lord."

Upon hearing Sima Yi's order, Xia Houxuan couldn't help but glance at Master Sima, and then at Sima Yi deeply.

But he didn't invite people into the mansion immediately, but continued to ask: "I don't know what's the matter with the Grand Tutor?"

Sima Yi had a warm smile on his face, as warm as the sun in June: "National affairs."

"National affairs?"

"Yes, state affairs." Sima Yi nodded, "I am here today, not to talk about personal affairs, but to talk about state affairs."

Xia Houxuan was silent for a while, and finally said: "Please, Grand Tutor."

Entering the mansion, the two sat separately as host and guest, Xia Houxuan said:

"What's important for the Taifu, you can talk about it now."

Sima Yi raised his teacup, touched his lips briefly, then put it down:

"Xuchang sent an appointment. The general intends to let Taichu go to Xuchang to serve as the regular servant of the Sanqi and the post of the Central Guard."

"Oh?" Although Xia Houxuan was extremely determined, but hearing the news, he couldn't help raising his brows, "When did the news come?"

"Just now, as soon as it was delivered to me, I came to look for you." Sima Yi smiled, "I wonder if Taichu is interested in this?"

Xia Houxuan was hated by Cao Rui because of the matter of Empress Mao's younger brother. Ten years ago, he was demoted from Huangmen servant to Yulin supervisor.

Later, all the main figures of the Xiahou clan were put under house arrest by Cao Rui in Luoyang City, and Xiahouxuan, as the most outstanding figure of the Xiahou clan, was even less likely to recover.

After ten years of silence, Xia Houxuan couldn't stop his heart beating faster when he suddenly heard that the general wanted him to take up an important position.

He forcibly stabilized his emotions, and smiled lightly:

"Xuan is intentional or unintentional, it can be said that he can't help himself, what's the benefit of the Taifu asking?"

"Oh? Tai Chu said he couldn't help himself, so who should it be?"

"Of course it's the Taifu." Xia Houxuan stared at Sima Yi, "Would the Taifu want me to go to Xuchang?"

"So what Taichu means is that he is willing to serve as Luo?" Sima Yi laughed, "That's right, Taichu had great ambitions when he was young, and the opportunity to contribute to the country is right in front of him, how could he give up."

"Since Taichu intends to contribute to the country," Sima Yi also looked at Xia Houxuan, "Then it is at a time when Great Wei is in crisis. I wonder if Taichu has a good opinion on this?"

"I don't dare to have a good opinion. Over the years, the thieves have become more and more powerful, but those who are interested in the country, who is not anxious?"

"Tai Chu, please tell me."

"Emperor Wen established the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. The original intention was to better select talents for the country and endow Zhongzheng officials with great power. The level of talent and virtue is determined by him."

"If Zhongzheng officials select talents fairly, it's okay to say, but unfortunately, today's Zhongzheng officials are mostly controlled by aristocratic families."

"Over the years, Zhongzheng officials have judged products by first looking at family background and then character. Children from aristocratic families are promoted without talent, and children from poor families who have talent but are not selected are everywhere."

"In the past, when Emperor Wu was here, good officials came out one after another, and the crisis was solved overnight. Now the thieves are powerful, and the princes in the court are helpless, and they can't find good officials if they want to."

"So according to Xuan, at this time, Great Wei has reached the point where it has to be reformed."

Sima Yi, who was originally calm, changed slightly after hearing Xia Houxuan's words: "Reform?"

"That's right, limit the power of the middle and upright officials, eliminate redundant officials to drive out incompetence, re-examine classes to recruit good talents, and correct the shortcomings of the court, so as to revive the Great Wei and counteract the forces of thieves."

After Xia Houxuan said this, he looked at Sima Yi again: "What do you think?"

Sima Yi forced himself to smile: "That's very kind."

Xia Houxuan pressed on step by step: "Oh, Taifu also thinks that Wei has reached the point where he has to change?"

"If you don't change it, Great Wei is in danger. But if you change it," Sima Yi mused, "There must be a good opportunity, and there must be talented people to implement various measures!"

"Tai Chu also said that now that the thieves are getting stronger, the outside is unstable, and there are no talented people inside. How can we talk about reforming?"

He said and shook his head: "The time has not come, the time has not come!"

Xia Houxuan couldn't help frowning when he heard Sima Yi's excuses.

Before he could speak again, Sima Yi got up:

"I have learned a lot from Taichu's words today. Taichu is a great talent, and I love Cai sincerely, but I am reluctant to let Taichu go to Xuchang."

"What's more, all the members of the Taichu clan are in Luoyang. Wouldn't working in Luoyang be much better than going to Xuchang?"

Xia Houxuan got up after him, and remained silent.

Sima Yi looked like he was discussing with him, but in fact he was telling him that it was impossible to let him leave Luoyang for Xuchang.

Seeing that Xia Houxuan didn't speak, Sima Yi only took him to answer:

"Then it's settled, there's no need to send Taichu off."

After speaking, he went out of Xiahou's mansion.

"grown ups?"

Master Sima, who had been guarding outside the mansion, saw Sima Yi coming out, and rushed to meet him.

"Xiahou Taichu must send more people, put him in jail, and never let him leave Luoyang!"

After getting into the carriage, Sima Yi's face darkened, and he gave orders to Master Sima who was sitting opposite.

Xia Houxuan is the most outstanding figure of the Xiahou family and Cao Shuang's cousin (Xiahouxuan's mother is the village owner of Deyang, Cao Shuang's aunt).

Cao Shuang had never had his own opinion. If Xia Houxuan really went to Xuchang, maybe he could really persuade Cao Shuang to promote the reform.

Even if Cao Shuang cannot be persuaded, Xia Houxuan, who has a great reputation, must not be allowed to go to Xuchang to help Cao Shuang.

When Master Sima heard this, his eyes gleamed fiercely, and he said in a low voice:

"Since your lord is worried about Xia Houxuan, why not..."

Anyway, his wife Xia Houhui had already been poisoned to death by him, so why not kill Xia Houxuan, the eldest brother-in-law?

Sima Yi looked at his son with complicated eyes.

Finally just sighed:

"I have a very close friendship with Xiahouxuan, and the Sima family and Xiahou's family are close friends, how can we get along with each other?"

"As long as I am alive, I must protect his life. Otherwise, wouldn't I become a cold person and be criticized by others?"

Master Sima let out an "oh" in disappointment, and then suddenly recalled:

Doesn't that mean that once the adults are away, you can do it yourself?

PS: There are too many things during the Chinese New Year, and the update may be unstable. Don't think about complaining to Tiger Girl, she has already agreed, hahaha!
