Chapter 245: Political Means
While everyone was taken aback, Han Cheng's voice sounded at the same time:
"Your Majesty, Weichen's ability is low, I'm afraid he can't take on so many positions.
Wei Chen is willing to use the position of Da Sima in exchange for the lives of these people.
It was because they were loyal to His Majesty that they dared to falsely pass on the edict and delusionally murder Weichen.
I think there must be some misunderstanding in this.
Killing them now will chill the hearts of those loyal to His Majesty.
Weichen hopes to 'convince people with virtue', and he doesn't want to be too selfish, embarrass His Majesty, and let his loyal ministers be wronged.
Therefore, Weichen begged His Majesty to take back his orders and spare their lives. ”
After Emperor Han Xian heard Han Cheng's words, his heart was already furious, like thousands of horses galloping past.
"Han Cheng, your uncle! You're playing with me.
Li Ru is your person, you borrow his mouth to say your requirements, and after the widow agrees, you will come out to be a good person.
Co-author Guangkeng widow himself, your uncle's, Han Cheng! ”
After Emperor Han Xian understood Han Cheng's intentions, his hands that grabbed the chair trembled even more.
This is no longer about the dignity of the emperor, this is pure anger.
The only pity is that it is the kind of anger that 'dares to be angry but does not dare to speak'.
After exhaling a few deep breaths, Emperor Han Xian temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Han Cheng gently:
"General Han, the false edict is a big crime to wipe out the three clans.
If they were pardoned, where would the majesty of the court be?
Let's kill them all and spare their families.
In doing so, it does not lose the majesty of the imperial court. Look, what do you think? ”
Emperor Han Xian originally wanted to say, "This not only preserves the majesty of the imperial court, but also makes General Han have a light on his face, the best of both worlds, how good!" ”
Think about it carefully, if you say this, are you too wrong?
Your angry heart doesn't allow yourself to do this.
What Emperor Han Xian didn't expect was that after Han Cheng heard his words, his face changed, and he was as cold as ice, and he didn't intend to give himself face at all.
said sharply to Emperor Han Xian: "I want to protect them, do you have an opinion?" ”
Emperor Han Xian was stunned in an instant, returned to the obscene appearance in front of Dong Zhuo, and said humbly to Han Cheng: "What General Han says is what it is." ”
Han Yuanlai also wanted to reply: "It's about the same." ”
But after thinking about it: "Anyway, Emperor Han Xian is also an emperor, isn't it a bit too much?" ”
So he held back and said nothing.
What has happened from the beginning of entering the palace to the present is all planned in advance.
Including Li Ru's suggestion and Han Cheng's 'save' people.
Han Cheng did this, which was Han Cheng's political means; This is different from Cao Cao's political methods.
Cao Cao's political methods were domineering.
Whoever refuses, I will kill him.
In history, after the 'Cloth and Belt Edict' incident, these people were captured by Cao Cao, and all of them were the result of being wiped out by the three clans, without exception.
What Cao Cao wants to do is to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and show the people of the world: whoever opposes me, destroying the three clans will be the end.
Han Cheng learned from Cao Cao's experience and took it to the next level.
Because Han Cheng knows: literati can't be killed.
For the sake of fame, literati will not hesitate to step into it, knowing that there is a dead end ahead.
If the literati designate you as a 'thief', no matter how many people you kill, you will not be able to deter them.
Because they are against you, they will be able to pass on through the ages, and this is exactly what they desperately need.
Therefore, the best way to deal with the literati is to cut off their thoughts and make them unable to fight for fame.
And this, we have to start with Emperor Han Xian.
After all, loyal ministers will have a reputation, and traitors will only stint for 10,000 years.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty reversed his word, which would chill the 'loyal ministers'.
Because of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty's words, the 'loyal ministers' became the 'rebels' who rebelled, just like the people who knelt on the ground at this time.
Han Cheng and Li Ru sang and harmonized, and let Emperor Han Xian take the set: not only personally ordered the killing of the 'loyal ministers' loyal to him, but also rewarded Han Cheng, and then Han Cheng exchanged his official position for the life of the 'loyal minister'.
It was the 'loyal ministers' who were killed, which was also the hope of Emperor Han Xian, and the 'loyal ministers' who were saved, which was also Han Cheng's reputation.
If someone talks about this matter in the future, who can say that Han Cheng is a 'thief'?
Han Cheng did not claim the title of emperor, and saved Emperor Han Xian.
When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ordered the killing of 'loyal ministers', Han Cheng exchanged his official position for the life of 'loyal ministers'.
With just two things, if Han Cheng is not a 'loyal minister' but is called a 'thief', who is not a 'thief' in this world?
Of course, in addition to Han Cheng's powerful political means, Han Cheng's self-confidence also comes from the pervasive intelligence battalion under his command.
What if I let you go? Anyway, I've firmly controlled your every move.
Chong Ji and the others are not stupid, Han Cheng's political methods are so obvious, how can they not see it?
But they had no choice, their jaws were removed, and they couldn't speak; His hands are still tied, and it is not easy to die.
Therefore, they can only obediently become Han Cheng's tools and be at his mercy.
But they couldn't resent Han Cheng in their hearts, because no matter what, Han Cheng saved their lives.
They are all gentlemen, and they repay their kindness with hatred, not by gentlemen.
After finishing speaking, Emperor Han Xian's whole body was cold and weak.
After this matter spread, what would happen, Emperor Han Xian had already thought of it.
Although Emperor Han Xian was reluctant to admit that he died, the facts are the facts - the Han Dynasty was going to die, and he died at the hands of Emperor Han Xian.
......
Three days later, under the vigorous operation of the intelligence battalion, all the courtiers understood what had happened.
There are those who are extremely disappointed, and at the same time those who are very happy, and at most they are silent.
Because it is not about oneself, hanging high is one of the criteria for being an official.
At the court meeting, Kong Rong, one of the court captains of the Nine Qings, stood up and said to Emperor Han Xian: "Tell Your Majesty, General Han's loyalty can be seen, and he is really a model for courtiers. We believe that he can be appointed as the Great Sima. ”
After Han Cheng heard Kong Rong's words, he replied modestly: "Master Kong has praised it falsely, they are all courtiers, how can you embarrass Your Majesty?" It is the duty of a courtier to relieve His Majesty's worries, and the matter of Da Sima should not be mentioned again. ”
Kong Rong originally wanted to be humble a few more words, but where would Han Cheng give him another chance.
I saw Han Cheng continue: "Yuan Shao of Jizhou has launched wars against Gongsun Zan of Youzhou many times, regardless of the life and death of the people of Youzhou. Moreover, Youzhou is the Youzhou of the imperial court, Yuan Shao actually appointed county officials privately, ignoring the laws of the imperial court, and Weichen implored His Majesty to allow Weichen to lead troops to defeat Yuan Shao. ”
After listening to Han Cheng's words, Emperor Han Xian secretly said in his heart: "Han Cheng, you won't play with me again, right?" Just let me offend Wan Chongji and others, and let me offend Yuan Shao? It's not good for you to be like this, you can't just pit me, I can't bear it. ”
However, after Han Cheng finished speaking, many courtiers spoke out to cater to him: "Please Your Majesty grant the request of the general." ”
Emperor Han Xian saw that all the ministers expressed their positions, so he put his mind at ease: "It seems that he is serious, not to play me, hey, as long as he is not playing with me, it is fine." As for Yuan Shao, I hope you can give some strength and kill Han Cheng. ”
Therefore, Emperor Han Xian said loudly: "The widow is approved, and the widow wishes the general a triumphant return." ”
All the ministers also said to Han Cheng: "I wish the general a triumphant return." ”
Han Cheng looked at Emperor Han Xian, who was sitting at the top, and smiled secretly in his heart: "It's really a good way, it's really a son who can be taught!" Such an Emperor of Han Xian, not bad! ”
