Moreover, for the Wei State, it was justifiable that Cao Rui ascended to the throne.

Regardless of his identity as the direct eldest son, or Cao Cao's love for him when he was still alive in the past, and his expectation that "I will be based on you for three generations". It would be unfortunate if he was cursed and the candidate for the "King of ZTE" in the prayer was not determined in advance. , then, how did Li Jian claim that this move was for the safety of the Wei State?

There must be an accomplice in this!

It is not reflected in the words of prayer, just because the responsibilities of this accomplice and Li Jian are different: Li Jian is in charge and hates winning, while other accomplices plan to determine the king of Ding!

Xia Houxuan, who made such an inference, did not report the matter immediately.

Instead, he used the reason of "misbehavior during the visit to Gaoling of Wei Wu" to dispel the doubts and concerns of the people at that time about the detention of Li Jian, and secretly tortured Li Jian with his confidants and forced him to interrogate his accomplices and party friends.

Li Jian, who was determined to die, did not get what he wanted.

No matter how Xia Houxuan was tortured, even if his body was completely bruised and he fainted several times from the pain, he kept repeating: "Every man is responsible for the safety of the country! The ambition to serve the country is the courage of a gentleman, so why should others be accomplices!"

After four or five days of this, Li Jian was already on the verge of death and would surely die if tortured again.

Xia Houxuan also began to doubt whether his judgment was wrong.

Because he suddenly remembered that Li Jian was just a down-and-out scholar who had no ability to restrain a chicken and had never embarked on an official career!

Such people often act based on the passion in their chest and abdomen, without any regard for the consequences.

Just like when he assassinated Zheng Pu in the past, he only wanted to repay Yin Feng's kindness, without caring that he would be executed after the assassination, and that his family, wife and children would be implicated.

Now there is no comprehensive plan and no accomplices are found. Perhaps it is because of his lamentation after witnessing the loss of countless lands in Wei and his accumulated anger of being forced to live far away from his hometown that he acted without thinking about the consequences.

Feeling helpless, Xia Houxuan found a reason to comfort himself and planned to report the matter to the police.

But unexpectedly, just as he was discouraged, things began to change.

However, it is said that after Li Jian entered the Wei Dynasty, he had been relying on writing letters to the powerful or powerful families. In line with the desire to live in poverty and enjoy the country, he could be said to have nothing. In a small bag he carried with him, he only had an old change of clothes.

Clothes and pen and ink. And after he was tortured, his clothes became tattered. It was indecent to put him in a carriage and send him to Luoyang like this.

Therefore, Xia Houxuan asked someone to get him another set of clothes to put on.

The man did as he was told, but soon returned and reported to Xia Houxuan, saying: "My lord, your efforts may have been in vain. The thief's other clothes were layered with new and old patches, but they were equally tattered and not covering the body. They were more ragged than those worn by the beggars in the market."

Damn, I really don’t know why he still keeps these clothes.”

Perhaps this garment was made by my wife and children from my hometown, so I didn't want to throw it away.

Xia Houxuan, who was writing a book in Luoyang, had this thought in his mind, but he didn't think about it and sent people to the market to buy some clothes for Li Jian to cover his body.

But after a while, he suddenly looked stunned.

Immediately, Huoran stood up, even knocking his knees over the eucalyptus table and scattering the inkstone as if he didn't realize it. He put his hands on his hands and smiled, "Yes! I know the cunningness of this thief!"

And immediately asked someone to bring Li Jian's damaged clothes.

Yes, he thought of something bizarre.

An old piece of clothing that is too damaged to be worn can be thrown away, but why bother to patch it up?

Isn’t this just trying to hide something?

When he found the shabby clothes and carefully took apart all the patches, he found that it was just as he expected.

There is nothing weird about the old patches, but the new patches are all attached with a layer of silk book.

In other words, the silk book is used as a patch and embroidered on the clothes.

Each silk book is not large and can only contain one or two sentences, and there is no signature.

Xia Houxuan spread out all the silk books one by one on the eucalyptus and looked at them carefully. He compared the handwriting and found that they were all written by one person, but it was definitely not Li Jian.

The book says:

"Although we have done something wrong to our father, we will never regret it even if we die for the safety of our country!"

"After "The Treatise on the Six Kingdoms", the emperor wanted to use the imperial clan, and the power of the family was about to decline, so it is not advisable for the emperor to delay his affairs."

"It is urgent for the king to go to the country, so don't worry about the affairs of the new king! The whole country's troops are in control, and the trust of the important ministers of the three dynasties is contrary to the theory of Shu Qiao and Zhou Tianming. The power of the founders of the Wei clan will be lost, and the two kings of Qi and Qin will no longer be able to succeed. Datong."

"If I don't go with you now, there will be no one to prepare for the future! If the incident happens and you die, I will make it happen even if I die a hundred times, as the surging water of Luo can swear!"

.............

The content is scattered, but Xiahou Xuanke has a general understanding.

The person who wrote the silk script must be Sima Zhao!

Because now only Sima Zhao, who had an irreversible friendship with Li Jian, was qualified to say such words as "We have the entire country's troops at our disposal, and we have the trust of the important ministers of the three dynasties."

The agreement between him and Li Jian was that after Li Jian cursed the emperor Cao Rui to death with the art of hating victory, he relied on his father Sima Yi to almost control the power of the entire country's military, so that "most of the heirs of Emperor Wei Wen died in infancy." In order to break the theory of destiny of Zhou, the Confucian scholar who rebelled against Shu, he abandoned Cao Rui's adopted sons Cao Fang and Cao Xun and established other descendants of Wei Wu and Cao Cao as kings.

Looking at the contents of the silk book, Sima Yi was not involved.

But Xia Houxuan automatically ignored this.

Indeed, Sima Yi's current status is already the most powerful person in the Wei State except for the emperor Cao Rui. He can be said to be one person below ten thousand people. There is no reason for him to be tempted to participate in such a treasonous thing.

However, what if the prerequisite for this is that Emperor Cao Rui dies?

As the saying goes, this moment is the same as that moment.

At the time of the transition between the old and the new kings, out of the desire to consolidate his power, facing Wei's situation of unresolved external troubles and internal troubles, and with the persuasion of his son Sima Zhao, would he remain indifferent?

If nothing else, he should just take advantage of the situation "reluctantly"!

Others have shouldered the blame, but the road to power over the king has also been established. In the face of countless examples of power struggles in the previous dynasties, where "advancing means peace, retreating means death and family destruction", he would not use the name Duke Zhou. Self-proclaimed!

Xia Houxuan, who was indignant towards the Sima family, immediately sorted out the matter in an orderly manner.

When writing a book for Cao Yu, King of Yan, who was in Luoyang, he also adhered to the Spring and Autumn writing method of "pointing to the end". There was no criticism of Sima Yi in every word, but the writing made Cao Yu feel heartbroken.

On the one hand, Xia Houxuan was told to keep quiet and he continued to imprison Li Jian in Yecheng for disturbing Gaoling; on the other hand, he sent someone to send an urgent message eight hundred miles away to the emperor Cao Rui in Nanyang.

After seeing this, Cao Rui could not continue to stay in Wancheng, so it was not surprising that he rushed back to Yecheng without saying a word.

While on the road, he still felt lucky and did not believe that Sima Zhao would join forces with Li Jian.
