Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 96 The King of Shock Yue Shi A Tianzi!

Cai Zhenji was the daughter of Cai Yong and the half-sister of Cai Wenji.

In the first year of Guanghe, he was falsely accused of "slandering the court" because of his outspokenness and courage to criticize, and was exiled to Shuofang.

Before being exiled, he entrusted his five-year-old daughter to his good friend Yang Xu, who then placed Cai Zhenji in the Yang family of Taishan.

Later, Cai Zhenji married Yang Xin, the prefect of Shangdang in the State of Wei. She was the mother of Yang Hu and gave birth to a daughter, Queen Jingxian Yang Huiyu.

However, Cai Zhenji in the world of Longqi Three Kingdoms would obviously not marry Yang Xin, because Yang Xin had already died in Yunshan Ghost Road.

At the same time, the Taiyang family where she lived was also raided and their clan was exterminated.

Wei Yan, who was responsible for attacking and confiscating the Yang family's Wu Fort, was a very cunning person.

Although Ji Qiu strictly ordered him not to disturb the people.

But when he discovered that Cai Zhenji was extremely beautiful, he immediately captured her and sent her to Ji Qiu as a tribute.

He was not worried about being scolded or punished by Ji Qiu, because Cai Zhenji's identity was between being arrested and not being arrested.

If they wanted to arrest her, they could say that she had a close relationship with the Yang family. For Cai Zhenji, who was living in the Yang family's Wubao, this was irrefutable.

But if you don't want to arrest her, you can also say that she has nothing to do with the Yang family.

After all, in terms of blood relationship, Cai Zhenji and Taiyang Yang family really have no relationship.

At this time, she had not even entered into an engagement with Yang Xun!

Therefore, if Ji Qiu got angry about this, Wei Yan would use the excuse that he didn't know how to deal with Cai Zhenji to shirk responsibility.

But if Ji Qiu had not been angry, but accepted Cai Zhenji.

For Wei Yan, that was a precise act of pleasing his boss.

The same is true for Ji Qiu.

If he accepted Cai Zhenji, no one would be dissatisfied.

His civil and military officials will find countless reasonable reasons to prove that it is completely right for him to accept Cai Zhenji, and that it will benefit the country and the people!
If he doesn't accept it, no one will express dissatisfaction.

His civil and military officials would also find countless reasonable reasons to prove the correctness and legitimacy of his refusal to accept Cai Zhenji.

This is the charm of power.

As long as you have power, you can do whatever you want!

It is never the law that fulfills power, but power that determines the law.

After entering the Pass, there will be great scholars to debate for me!
However, Ji Qiu thought about it and decided to restrain his desire.

After all, he is a man with a bottom line.

A person with a bottom line will not let his desires override his bottom line.

Therefore, although Cai Zhenji is very beautiful, her temperament and figure are completely in line with his aesthetic taste, and she also has the added effect of being a historical beauty.

But he still didn't want to forcibly take Cai Zhenji in under such circumstances.

So he just said calmly: "Okay, you can go out."

"Ah?" Cai Zhenji screamed, as if she was surprised by Ji Qiu's order.

Ji Qiu continued in a calm tone, "Don't go too far, just rest in the side room. From now on, you will be my girl."

If Cai Zhenji was completely kicked out of the dormitory at this time, it would be equivalent to publicly stating that Cai Zhenji was not wanted.

I’m afraid Cai Zhenji’s end will not be very good.

Wei Yan would not let her go as he was the first to be hit.

Even if such a historical beauty is not taken in for the time being, it would be a pity to let her die.

Save her to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and let her be a girl.

The full name of the girl is girl official.

The Langguan of the Han Dynasty was a minister close to the emperor, mainly responsible for guarding the imperial palace, conveying imperial edicts, preparing for advisory assignments, etc. It was an important basic official position in the Han Dynasty bureaucracy and an important way for scholars to enter officialdom.

However, this type of Langguan is usually held by men.

Female officials mainly served in the imperial harem, and were responsible for managing harem affairs, etiquette, education, and the emperor's daily life.

Although their system was not as complete as that of male bureaucrats, they also played an important role in the court.

Later, as time went on, the number of female officials gradually expanded, and positions such as county magistrate and county lieutenant and above also began to be equipped with female officials.

Mainly assisting officials in handling some duties.

In the court of the Longqi Three Kingdoms, there were female officials involved in politics.

Doesn’t this look a little strange?
It’s actually not surprising.

Strength determines status!

After all, the Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms is an extraordinary world, and extraordinary power is not limited to being in the hands of men.

Women can also possess extraordinary powers.

When women have power, they naturally demand status.

Of course, it is still unlikely that women will have the same status as men.

Overall, the Dragon and Three Kingdoms period is still a male-dominated world, and the situation for women is slightly better than that in the historical Three Kingdoms period, but it is also limited.

If you want to go into politics, being a girl is the limit and it is difficult to get a chance to be independent.

After all, Cai Zhenji was Cai Yong's daughter. It would be too unfair for her to be Ji Qiu's maid.

It would also be detrimental for Ji Qiu to use this relationship to contact and win over Cai Yong in the future.

It would be just right to let her be a girl.

The most important thing is that no matter whether they are maids or girls, they are all close people around Ji Qiu. Letting Cai Zhenji be a girl is equivalent to announcing to the outside world that Cai Zhenji has become his person.

Then he could protect Cai Zhenji.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Cai Zhenji bowed to the ground and said with tears of gratitude.

Ji Qiu waved his hand and asked Cai Zhenji to leave the dormitory.

Then he turned around and disappeared into the dormitory.

Taishan County has been initially stabilized, and there is no need for him to continue staying in the Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms World to rest every day.

When it comes to resting environment, the modern world is more comfortable.

So Ji Qiu's daily routine is to return to the modern world to rest every night and come to the Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms world to work the next morning.

……

Luoyang City.

A new layer of fine sand imported from the Western Regions was laid on the bluestone slabs of Zhuque Street, which made a rustling sound when stepped on.

The caravan of Hu merchants, carrying fine horses from Dayuan and spices from Parthia, moved slowly forward. On the painted wooden boxes carried by the camels, the vermilion words "Annual income: huge billions" were washed shiny by the autumn rain.

The Hu girls in the street taverns changed into fox furs and shuttled among the diners, holding gilded wine jars. The wine in the jars was mixed with Central Plains rice wine, and it was sweet but bitter, just like the nobles with "Zhongping Tongbao" hanging around their waists - the newly minted coins had lines on them before they were even smoothed out, but they were already tainted with the smell of selling official positions and titles.

The brothels and theaters in the South City have hung up autumn lanterns, and no one is interested in the knife-swallowing magic trick of "Liaodong Enchantress" Wang Rong. Instead, a magician from the "Five Pecks of Rice Sect" in Yizhou is performing the "Throwing Beans to Create Soldiers" trick on stilts.

The people in the audience clutched wrinkled mulberry paper - it was the credit certificate they had just received from "Xiyuan Residence". They wanted to exchange it for some corn, but were swept into the crowd by the noise in front of the circus stage.

In the adjacent weapons shop, the owner was wiping the newly arrived ring-handled sword with oil paper. The blade reflected the bustling scene in the brocade workshop across the street: sixteen embroiderers were kneeling in front of the loom, using gold thread to hurriedly make Double Ninth Festival dresses for the concubines in the harem. The shackles on their wrists resonated with the sound of the loom, making a faint moan.

The princely mansions in Tongtuo Mo were decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and the Hejian Liu clan was holding a "Dogwood Party" in the mansion.

South China Sea agarwood was burning in the gilded incense burner, and the pungent aroma of dogwood sachets worn by the guests mixed with the chrysanthemum wine brought by the maids made people dizzy.

A nobleman dressed in Shu brocade was leaning on a Hu bed, picking up a piece of roasted venison with ivory chopsticks. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the boy sweeping the floor in the corridor. The boy was wearing a thin shirt and had a knife wound on his ankle from last year's war.

"Go give him the old furs in the storehouse."

The young man burped, and before he could finish his words, they were drowned out by the dancers' music of "Breaking Willows".

Overall, Luoyang City is more prosperous than when Ji Qiu left three months ago.

Liu Hong's political tactics rank among the top five among the fourteen emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Three months ago, Ji Qiu helped him severely damage the power of the aristocratic families in Luoyang City.

This not only allowed him to completely control Luoyang City, but also allowed him to control the three auxiliary areas of the capital with Luoyang City as the center.

As a result, the situation in the entire Luoyang city began to improve.

If this situation could continue, in another ten or twenty years, Liu Hong might really be able to revive the Han Dynasty.

But unfortunately, Liu Hong only has half a year left to live.

Therefore, this was destined to be the last carnival of the Han Empire before its collapse.

Flowing in every corner is the vain prosperity of drunkenness and dreams!
The headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

It is located in the prosperous area of ​​Luoyang City, yet seems to be isolated from the surrounding hustle and bustle, forming a mysterious and majestic world of its own.

The main gate of the government office was tall and heavy, built of huge black stones and inlaid with huge copper nails, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

A huge plaque hangs high above the door lintel, engraved with four golden characters "Xiu Yiwei General Yamen". Every stroke is strong and powerful, demonstrating the authority of Xiu Yiwei.

On both sides of the gate, there stands a majestic stone lion, with their fangs and claws bared, as if guarding this forbidden area.

In front of the gate is a wide square, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, flat and smooth. From time to time, soldiers of the Embroidered Uniform Guards march through the square in neat rows. The sound of their footsteps is uniform and echoes over the square, making people feel a strong sense of oppression.

After passing through the gate, there is an open courtyard with some pine and cypress trees planted in the courtyard. They are evergreen all the year round, symbolizing the tenacity and eternity of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Directly in front of the courtyard is a magnificent building, which is the core office area of ​​the Xiuyiwei General Office - Kuiyuan Hall.

The phrase, "To peer into the abyss and know the light," comes from the Huainanzi, a line about the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which is like the eye of the abyss, able to penetrate the secrets of the court and the people. Kuiyuan Hall, a three-story structure, features a traditional wooden structure with overhanging eaves, brackets, carved beams, and painted rafters. Despite the test of time, it remains remarkably well-preserved, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and a rich historical heritage.

The doors and windows of the building are carved with exquisite patterns, including auspicious beasts such as Qilin and Phoenix, as well as various mysterious runes. These patterns not only add to the beauty of the building, but also symbolize the sacred mission and extraordinary power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

On the third floor of Kuiyuan Hall, the late autumn wind wrapped in the mist of Mount Tai came in through the gaps in the bronze window lattices of Kuiyuan Hall, rolling up the python pattern on Wang Yue's cuffs.

He stood in front of the map, the cloth in his hand gleaming with a honey-colored sheen under the candlelight. The two characters "Ji Qiu" on the corner of the cloth were circled again and again with cinnabar, like two drops of solidified blood, yet revealing a strange festive atmosphere in the twilight.

This piece of cloth was Ji Qiu's memorial, which was sent through the internal channels of the Embroidered Uniform Guard at an expedited rate of 800 miles from Taishan County to Luoyang City in just two days.

Ji Qiu was already the lieutenant of Taishan County, and he was also the lieutenant holding the seal of the Taishan prefect. His memorial should have been presented directly to the emperor.

But Ji Qiu was born in the Embroidered Uniform Guard after all, and he still holds the position of the Embroidered Uniform Guard until now. In addition, his memorial was sent through the internal channels of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so this memorial first fell into Wang Yue's hands.

This table records the entire process of the Battle of Mount Tai in detail.

Of course, this is just the whole process that Ji Qiu wants people to know.

He would not take the initiative to reveal his many secrets.

Therefore, the three top strategists, Xi Zhong, Guo Jia and Jia Xu, worked overtime for several days in a row to produce this report on the entire process of the Battle of Mount Tai, which highlighted strategies and tactics, concealed a lot of external information, and was acceptable to all the natives of the Longqi Three Kingdoms.

However, he can hide the cheat information and fabricate strategies and tactics, but he cannot change the outcome of the battle.

This resulted in the entire process report becoming extremely exaggerated. In Wang Yue's eyes, it was like watching a myth!
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!

I originally thought that Ji Qiu was a buried steed that needed a Bole like me to discover it so that it would have the opportunity to display its talent.

But no one expected that he was actually a divine beast Kunpeng, who could soar to the sky as long as he was given a chance!
In the Battle of Mount Tai, the disparity in strength between the enemy and us was so great that even if others wanted to gain a foothold first and take their time, they probably wouldn't be able to do it. However, he was able to win a great victory so easily!

Not only did he recruit the Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai for his own use, he also took the opportunity to eliminate the aristocratic families in Mount Tai County, laying the foundation for his subsequent control of Mount Tai County.

It's probably not an exaggeration to say that this person is a genius!" Wang Yue looked at the table over and over again, and finally sighed deeply.

Shi A frowned and said unconvincedly: "Master, aren't you praising me too much?

I admit that Ji Qiu is indeed capable, but not to the extent you mentioned!
The disciples who submitted this report had also seen it, and it was true that the strategies used by Ji Qiu were all ingenious and amazing.

But each step is too risky.

It is almost necessary to calculate the opponent's actions at every step to achieve this result.

If there is even the slightest mistake, all the efforts will be wasted!

The master often teaches his disciples to act steadily and follow the right path.

Don't take risks and indulge in treacherous ways?

Dark tactics may help you gain huge benefits temporarily, but if you rely on them for a long time, they will eventually backfire.

Sooner or later you will vomit out everything you have eaten!

"And I see that Ji Qiu's methods are bordering on the treacherous. He keeps taking risks, how can he last long?"

"Haha, you can remember these words, which means that my teachings to you in the past are not in vain.

But your eyesight is still too shallow after all!

I only saw the first meaning of this letter, but not its second meaning.

You only saw what Ji Qiu wanted you to know, but you didn’t see what Ji Qiu hid!

Do you really think that Ji Qiu was able to capture Taishan County with these sophisticated strategies and tactics?

Do you really think he can take risks over and over again and still turn defeat into victory every time with luck?" Wang Xue chuckled.

Shi A was stunned and hesitated, "Master, you mean..."

"Today, I will tell you another truth: it is impossible for someone in this world to take risks every time and still succeed!

If you find someone who takes risks every time but succeeds every time.

Then there must be some inevitability hidden behind this series of coincidences!

"Ever since Ji Qiu was in Luoyang, I've known he must be hiding a big secret!" Wang Yue said with a smile.

Shi A was stunned again, and after thinking hard about Wang Yue's words, he said uncertainly, "Master, what you mean is that Ji Qiu was able to take over Taishan County not by relying on the ingenious strategies mentioned in this table?
But relying on other forces hidden behind him?"

"Of course!" Wang Yue nodded.

But Shi A was even more puzzled and said, “But if that’s the case, why doesn’t he tell the truth?

If he is willing to tell the truth, his value will undoubtedly become greater, and it will bring him more benefits!"

"Who knows? But there could be many reasons. Maybe it's not convenient to expose this power, maybe he simply wants to hide his weakness, or maybe he's setting up a trap to trick someone. All of these are possible!" Wang Yue said calmly.

Shi A immediately asked in a serious tone, "Should we start an investigation into Ji Qiu?"

"Why investigate Ji Qiu?" Wang Yue asked puzzledly.

Shi Adao said: “As Master said, he is hiding his power probably because it is not convenient to reveal this power.

Why is it inconvenient to expose it?
That would definitely be harmful to us!

Since it's a force that's harmful to us, how can we not investigate it thoroughly?"

"Haha, the first part of what you said makes some sense, but the latter part is a bit thoughtless.

Who says that this power is harmful to us if it is inconvenient to expose it?

Even if it is really harmful, we don’t need to worry about it!
Have you forgotten where Ji Qiu is now?" Wang Yue chuckled.

Shi A was slightly stunned and couldn't help but whispered: "Taishan County?!"

“Yes, Taishan County!
That place is the heartland of the Central Plains and the core area of ​​the Guandong aristocratic families!

Ji Qiu's relationship with the aristocratic families has long been an irreconcilable one.

Therefore, no matter how powerful the force behind him is, it is aimed at the aristocratic families. What does it have to do with us?

Not only do we not need to worry about Ji Qiu, we also have to support him and let him fight against the aristocratic families in Guandong!

The more fiercely they fight, the better it is for us!" Wang Yue said with a faint smile.

Shi A's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly, "So that's how it is. It seems that Master had planned this long ago. Could it be that when Master recommended Ji Qiu as the Taishan Commandant, he had already made this plan?"

"It's not that I planned this in advance, but that Your Majesty planned it in advance. This situation was actually set up by Your Majesty. It was Your Majesty who originally proposed to appoint Ji Qiu as the Taishan County Magistrate.

"But I'm afraid even His Majesty couldn't have imagined that Ji Qiu could capture Taishan County so quickly!" Wang Yue said with a wry smile.

……

Beigong, the residence of the emperor.

The towering palaces rise into the sky, and the red walls and golden tiles sparkle in the sunlight.

Gauze like flowing clouds hangs between the carved beams and painted buildings, and the wind chimes on the eaves tinkle, as if echoing the sound of the gurgling Yuquan water in the distance.

In a secluded path, dozens of women were seen in flowing silk robes, their skirts dyed in the colors of hibiscus, crabapple and camellia.

They chased each other and played, holding round fans embroidered with lotus flowers, their hairpins trembling lightly, and the sound of their rings and pendants colliding with each other making pleasant sounds.

Someone was playing in the shimmering water of Taiye Lake, the splashing water falling on the blooming water lilies.

Someone leaned against the white marble railing, pinning freshly picked jasmine flowers into his companion's hair;

There were also several women chasing butterflies under the flower-filled corridor, their embroidered shoes tapping lightly on the bluestone, startling a scattering of falling petals.

Sunlight filtered through the branches, casting dappled shadows on their snow-white wrists. Their silver bell-like laughter meandered along the corridors, and together with the ripples stirred by the koi in the pond, they decorated this world with a dreamlike atmosphere.

In the nine-story palace, even the wind seemed to be stained with the fragrance of rouge, carrying the girls' sweet words and drifting towards the eaves carved with dragons and phoenixes.

Liu Hong lay on his side on the dragon bed, looking at the beauties playing around him, his eyes revealing fascination.

It's a pity that his infatuation is useless, as his body no longer allows him to get close to women.

Therefore, to him, the beauty of the palace was just a decoration that he could look at but not use.

It is very likely that Dong Zhuo will benefit in the future!
Wang Yue approached Liu Hong, raised his hands high, and handed over Ji Qiu's memorial: "Your Majesty, Taishan County Magistrate Ji Qiu has sent this memorial."

"Ji Qiu submitted a petition? Why did he submit a petition? I remember that he should have just arrived in Taishan County at this time.

How long will it take him to capture Taishan County and pacify the Yellow Turbans in Taishan?
"One year? Two years? I don't know if I can wait that long!" Liu Hong said.

Wang Yue said, "Your Majesty, Ji Qiu has taken Taishan County and pacified the Yellow Turbans!"

"What? They have already taken Taishan County and pacified the Yellow Turbans in Taishan? How could it be so fast? Is he spreading false news of victory?" Liu Hong's face changed and he said in a deep voice.

It is basically impossible to capture Taishan County in such a short time.

The only possibility Liu Hong could know was that Ji Qiu was falsely reporting victory.

But if Ji Qiu really did this, it would be a big taboo for Liu Hong, and Liu Hong would definitely not let Ji Qiu off easily.

Wang Yue shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. The table above details the battle results, which are all well-documented. It's unlikely that Ji Qiu fabricated them.

The more important reason is probably consistent with your majesty's previous speculation!"

"Is it consistent with my previous speculation?"

The expression on Liu Hong's face finally became serious. He took the report from Wang Yue's hand, read it carefully several times, and couldn't help but reveal a playful smile on his face.

"Interesting, really interesting!
Master Wang, what do you think the memorial sent by Ji Qiu means?

Is he trying to hide his strength or show off his strength?

If he wanted to hide his strength, then the description of his strategies and tactics on this table should be more reasonable, at least so that we cannot see any flaws in it.

If he wants to show off his strength, he should make everything clear and not be so secretive.

It's so vague, so obvious, so real and so fake, that it's a bit confusing." Liu Hong said with a smile, flicking the watch with his finger.
