Chapter 100: Those who can be princes are human spirits
"Master Chen, I will send someone in for interrogation in a while, and I ask you to represent the general and be a witness in person, after all, you must pay attention to everything in handling the case, even if there is only a glimmer of suspicion, you can't wronged a good person."
"Uncle Zong, rest assured, this little thing, Chen should serve himself, Uncle Zong, please first!"
After confirming that Zhang Lu and Liu Yan's anti-belief were indeed authentic, that night, Dazong Zheng Liu Biao took some of the patrol soldiers and horses sent to him by He Jin, as well as Chen Lin, the chief secretary of He Jin, to make a witness together and came to the mansion of Dong Fu, who had just retired from his post due to illness.
Liu Biao's IQ is still okay, although he learned from Cai Yong a few days ago the investigation method of "how to set up a control group and let the suspect's relatives compare the real handwriting", but Liu Biao finally believes that listening and listening is clear, and he can't just believe in lonely evidence.
Therefore, after the documentary evidence preliminarily confirmed Liu Yan's crime, Liu Biao still took the initiative to suggest an additional special investigation to He Jin very selflessly, and put on a double insurance.
This is also because Liu Biao is afraid that in the future, if Liu Yan is finished, Liu Bei, who is responsible for helping the court investigate and punish Liu Yan, will also have an inflated ambition and want to divide the land and defend himself. If Liu Biao is not selfless today, it will not be good to be regarded as Liu Bei's fellow party in the future.
Being an official in the center of the court, in the whirlpool of power, don't take one step to see how to do it in three steps.
Liu Biaotai understands how the ambition of a person, a member of the Han family, swells step by step.
Changed to Liu Biao a year ago, he was still the marquis of the Northern Army, he may not be able to replace this kind of expansion, but now that he has been promoted to Dazongzheng, he also has some thoughts.
The earliest Dazong Zheng Liu Yan, who is now Yizhou Mu, was finally retributioned because of the rapid expansion. The latter Dazong Zheng Liu Yu, who is now Youzhou Mu, is doing a very good job.
Liu Bei, who succeeded Liu Yu, although he was a generation younger and lacked qualifications, was only Zongzheng Shaoqing when he was in Beijing, and now he is already the real power Taishou who is in charge of the three counties of Hanzhong......
Then he Liu Biao is also a great Zongzheng, why can't he do it in the future!
Liu Biao himself gradually has some ambition to be self-conscious and no longer look at other people's faces, he doesn't believe that Liu Bei will have no ambition!
And the best way to thoroughly investigate Liu Yan's case and completely clear up the suspicion of collusion with Liu Bei is to conduct this second wave of review tonight! Let the general send Jin Wu Ding Yuan, and the chief bookkeeper Chen Lin, at the same time, go in together to witness and listen to it with your own ears!
As an aside, when Ding Yuan appeared in the capital, it meant that the first wave of secret orders in history for He Jin to recruit foreign soldiers into Beijing had been issued! Because He Jin's secret letter was addressed to Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo at the same time.
It's just that Ding Yuan is close, in Yewang County, Hanoi, on the other side of Mengjindu, so the fast horse secret letter was delivered in one day, and on the fourth day, Ding Yuan had already entered Beijing with troops, but Ding Yuan had few people, and He Jin immediately named him Zhijinwu. Today is only the third day that Ding Yuan has taken up his post in Beijing.
And Dong Zhuo was far away, his army was stationed in Hedong, and it was Xie Liang County west of Sanmenxia, which was Guan Yu's hometown. Because of the existence of Sanmenxia, He Jin's letter made him first take the land route out of Guguan, pass through Hongnong and Tongguan through Kunhan, and then enter Puhanjin from the Yellow River to Xieliang.
Dong Zhuo's army is coming, and it has to take this road again to be more economical, so it will be at least ten days later than Ding Yuan. It is estimated that he has just set off and has not yet entered Hongnong County.
Liu Biao looked at him, and the soldiers under Jin Wu who were responsible for patrolling and supervising the rape in Beijing broke through the gate of Dong Fu's mansion at once.
In the hospital, Dong Fu's family members immediately came out to stop him: "Who are you waiting for?" This is Dong Shizhong's mansion! Hugh is presumptuous! β
"My father has been sick for less than two months, and you dogs dare to bully you! Don't get out of here! My father is not in good health, and I don't want to disturb him with too much noise, otherwise today's incident will not be light! β
Liu Biao glanced at Ding Yuan, and Ding Yuan immediately showed the seal of Zhijinwu: "The Northern Army is ordered by General Jun to supervise the reverse case, and all of them are not allowed to act rashly!" Zongbo please! β
The Dong family was instantly controlled by the soldiers of the Northern Army, and Liu Biao took the letter from Liu Yan to show off to Zhang Lu, "Dong Fu told me that 'Yizhou has a son of heaven', you just need to mix with me obediently and ensure that you will be prosperous and rich for the rest of your life", and went directly into the room and rushed into Dong Fu's ward.
Dong Fu was 83 years old, and he was already dying, and when he saw Liu Biao, Chen Lin, and Ding Yuan entering the room, he was shocked for a while: "You ...... You ......"
Liu Biao didn't give him time to react, and suddenly deceived him: "Dong Shizhong, you can watch the sky at night, Yizhou has the spirit of a genius, tsk, I hope that the envoy will see the Shu Confucian sect Dong and Ren sooner or later - it's a pity, you don't know yet, since the Shu Road was cut off last year, your virtuous brother Ren An's nephew, Qianwei Taishou Ren Qi, has been killed by Liu Yan under the pretext of something." β
Dong Fu's face turned pale in an instant, then turned red again, and then turned pale again.
He suddenly sat up, stretched out the front of his arm, and his palm twisted like a spasmodic chicken claw, and pointed at Liu Biao in horror: "You...... How could you ......?"
Liu Biao's heart sank, knowing that this matter was completely settled, and took a step forward: "Do you want to say how we will know?" Of course, Liu Yan used these words to deceive and write them to Zhang Lu, and deceived Zhang Lu into working hard for him! β
Dong Fu was exposed to the big secret of the extermination of the clan, and he was continuously frightened, and shouted at the moment: "Liu Yan misunderstood me!" β
Then he slammed back to the sickbed and died in an instant.
Liu Biao's expression was solemn, the reason why he wanted to bring Chen Lin as a witness this time was because he was afraid of this situation.
If you want to torture an 83-year-old dying old man, it is difficult to use other tricks, you can only raid and deceive a few words, and you must be prepared to be mentally prepared to be directly scared to death by the other party's anger at any time.
Liu Biao: "Kong Zhang, you have seen the details of today's questioning, Dong Fu's demeanor, and tone, right?" In front of the general, the two of you must testify well and don't fail the country! β
Chen Lin and Ding Yuan hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "Although Dong Fu is dead, we can all see his shocked reaction when he is dying, and we can see it vividly, it is indeed like a secret story that has been peeked into and caused anger and anger. He must have said those contradictory words to Liu Yan, and the case is undoubted. β
Ding Yuan also waved his hand very skillfully: "Take down all the doors of the Dong family!" Jiaotong University General Falls! β
The three clans of Dong Fu were all arrested immediately, and those servants did not need to be tried, and they were all secretly executed that night.
β¦β¦
After Li Su reported to He Jin, he temporarily returned to his residence, preparing to spend a few days to understand the latest situation in Jingshi and wait and see what happened, and He Jin did not send anyone to find him for a while.
is also to cover up with smoke bombs, Li Su actually bought a mansion in Luoyang at this juncture. And he lives in his own house every day, and he doesn't go around with Cai Yong on the surface.
Although the housing prices in Luoyang in the Han Dynasty were not as expensive as those in Bianjing in the Song Dynasty, they were also very exaggerated. What's more, Li Su wants to pay a little more attention to pomp and circumstance, and he has to buy a little better for others to show, so he spent three million dollars!
And this mansion, in less than a year, will be burned down by Dong Zhuo along with the whole city, even so, Li Su still bought a house against the market, purely for the sake of acting.
When other officialdom friends asked him, he also laughed and said: "When Liu Yan is finished, the imperial court may call me and other famous scholars to return to Beijing to take up a post, so as not to panic." β
Doing such a full set of plays, of course no one doubts him.
And Li Su's official position is to make Zhonglang general, he followed Liu Bei to Yizhou before, in the name of "lobbying Yu Fuluo to relocate", and the reason for this time will be to "deal with Liu Yan's aftermath", from beginning to end, in the eyes of the emperor and generals, Li Su is a minister of the court rather than Liu Bei's subordinates.
Li Su bought a house, which made everyone think that he and Liu Bei were just good temporary colleagues.
And the gossip about Liu Yan's handling of opinions, although it has not yet been announced, Li Su still got it two days after Dong Fu's death.
When he heard that Liu Biao actually played such a supplementary investigation, Li Su was also slightly surprised.
He didn't expect that Liu Biao, a guy who shouldn't have appeared in this incident, and this good old man who had been ignored by Li Su as an NPC, was actually quite skillful, and he would use such a gesture to show his selflessness.
Sure enough, you can't just treat people as NPCs, and the princes who can ride into the state alone in history don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, and all of them are human spirits.
However, it's not a big deal, as long as Liu Biao jumps out and Li Su incorporates this new variable into the deduction model, everything is still under rough control.
On the fourth day after Dong Fu's death, the time had entered early August.
The discussion of the court meeting on the first day of August should be over, and Li Su, as a foreign official, does not need to go to the court for the time being, and I don't know what he said, but it is estimated that the reward and punishment measures for the discussion must have been discussed, and the next wave of official announcements will be announced only five days later.
But on the second day of the eighth lunar month, a summons made Li Su slightly surprised.
It was the general He Jin who suddenly urgently summoned him to do something.
Li Su hurried to the general's mansion and saluted: "The last general will see the general." β
When he walked into the lobby of the general's mansion, he saw He Jin sitting in the hall, and a military general next to him actually pleaded guilty and had a burden on his back, and He Jin was there to comfort him.
Seeing Li Su, He Jin's face was blank: "Li Boya!" Hello raw presumptuous! Let you hand over all the evidence and don't do much, wait for rewards and punishments, why do you still instigate Zongbo to expand the attack, could it be that Liu Bei wants to punish dissidents? β
Li Su looked confused, secretly wondering how to enter this ear, the roots are soft, there is a haunt and a haunt, where is the wind and rain? Could it be that Yuan Shao made a small report again?
Li Su: "Why did the general say this? That's where it starts. β
He Jin waved his face and motioned to the kneeling Wu to speak.
At the beginning of August, the weather was not cold, and he would not catch a cold without clothes, so the military general turned to Li Su and gave his hand to express his feelings: "The last general, Wu Kuang, has always been loyal to the general. After abandoning his brother for many years, his niece was forced to be hired by Liu Yan, and I never heard of it in the capital. If you suspect that the last general is colluding with Liu Yan, you are willing to give up the military power of the Beijing Division, and follow General Zhenxi and Li Zhonglang into Shu to persuade Liu Yan to return to Liu Yan, so as to clarify my heart! β
Li Su's eyes rolled: "It turned out to be General Wu, and the evidence we presented to the imperial court did not have any interpretation, every sentence was Liu Yan's original words, as for how to judge, it was the authority of the imperial court, how could the last general dare to put the word beak?" Where did General Wu hear that someone was going to make a living out of this? It certainly has nothing to do with us. β
Wu Kuang: "When Zong Bo investigated the case, after dealing with the three clans of Dong and Fu, he mentioned the last general, so he came to the general to take the blame. β
Only then did Li Su know that it was Liu Biao's guy who started to play a bowl of water again-since Liu Biao strictly investigated Dong Fu who was involved in the case and scared Dong Fu to death, then the Wu family who was related to Yu Wei and "hit to be the queen" must also be investigated.
In this way, Liu Biao can clear all his tendencies and not fall behind the words "check one but not the other".
And Wu Kuang was afraid and wanted to protect himself, so he came directly to He Jin to prove his innocence.
After Li Su figured it out, he said directly to He Jin: "General, this matter is easy to hear, and the last general dares to use his reputation as a guarantee, and he will never provoke Uncle Zong to implicate and verify General Wu's words and deeds." This act should be reasonable, and it should be that Uncle Zong's order is to be safe, and he is thorough.
As for the younger female relatives of the clan who were mistakenly injured by the words of Yu Wei, how can General Wu be blamed for this? Please General Mingjian, the former concubine of Wei Bao, Bo Shi, was promised to face each other, saying that he should give birth to the Son of Heaven, could it be that after Gaozu got the Bo family, he would have to fail because of the crime of Wei Wei and the Bo family?
Even if the Wu family really has the order of the queen, it is not guilty of General Wu. If Liu Yan goes against the sky and forcibly responds to the mandate of heaven, in the end he is nothing more than Wei Bao and Liu Xin's generation, and he will be the laughing stock of future generations, and he is not enough to worry about.
What's more, I heard that Liu Yan married Liu Mao and made an appointment for one year with the gift of heaven, and it is far from the door, General Wu is willing to show his loyalty and let General Zhenxi take his niece back and send her to the palace as a palace maid. β
Wei Bao mentioned by Li Su is the prince of Liu Bang's era, the mother of Emperor Wen of Han, Empress Dowager Bo, was originally Wei Bao's concubine, Wei Bao let people see the photo, said that his concubine will give birth to the Son of Heaven in the future, Wei Bao was ecstatic and rebelled against Han to stand on his own, but was attacked and killed by Liu Bang, and his wife was also snatched away. In the end, it was Liu Bangri, Bo Ji gave birth to Emperor Wen of Han, and the prophecy was answered.
And the Liu Xin he said was a great economist in the late Western Han Dynasty and an important minister in the late Western Han Dynasty, and later he changed his name to Liu Xiu because he didn't want to have the same name as Liu Xin, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. However, after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, there were rumors among the people that Liu Xiu should be the Son of Heaven to revive the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xin (who had been renamed Liu Xiu), who had been a doctor in Taizhong under Wang Mang, was afraid and wanted to punish Wang Mang, so he committed suicide in defeat.
But after the death of Liu Xin, who changed his name to Liu Xiu, there was a real Liu Xiu who was originally named Liu Xiu to revive the Han Dynasty.
Li Su's words are nothing more than telling He Jin and Wu Kuang to relax: It is not yours in life, and there is nothing to be afraid of forcibly making up the destiny of heaven. Isn't it the Wu girl who is destined to be the queen? If you are afraid, get the Wu family back and send it to the palace, and see the Wu family's own creation, won't it all be solved?
He Jin is a pig-killing man with very soft ears, and as soon as he heard Li Su say it so reasonably, he immediately believed that Li Su had no ill will towards Wu Kuang.
Liu Biao's symbolic investigation of Wu Kuang should not be instigated by Li Su, but Liu Biao's own intention.
"So, I misunderstood you, I don't think you and Wu Kuang should have a holiday, it turns out that Liu Biao is trembling and afraid of falling into the handle. Then it's fine!
By the way, since you are here, I might as well tell you in advance, the mission officially announced by the Celestial Dynasty will be at that time, and when the time comes, the imperial court will let you hold the festival to Shu County, read the will, and summon Liu Yan to return to Beijing to serve as the Taifu, and the Ming Sheng and the secret will reduce his military power first.
Don't dislike this disposition, after all, he is not Dong Fu, he has been entrenched in a corner of the world, with money, food, soldiers and horses, and directly condemned the crime in case of rebellion, but instead worked for the imperial court to collect. If you can use the soft one, use the soft one first.
However, when the time comes, I will also give you two wills, the second is that if Liu Yan is alert and refuses to obey the edict, then order General Zhenxi to pacify Liu Yan by force! β
"The last general commands! Be sure to keep it in mind, and you will retire at the end! Li Su humbly agreed.
However, what Li Su didn't expect was that just as he was about to retire, the steward of the General's Mansion came in again to report: "General, Cai Yong, the Taishou of Xiba County, urgently asked to see him outside the door, saying that he had something important to do. β
Li Su retreated to the side: "General, the last general might as well avoid ......"
He Jinyi waved his hand: "Eh, no need!" I heard that Cai Gong is not your teacher, what is there to avoid in the friendship between teachers and students, I know that Boya is anxious, so it's good to listen to it together. β
Li Su stood beside him with his eyes, nose, nose and heart.
Cai Yong came in quickly, and then asked directly in front of He Jin: "General! Yong knew the good intentions of the general and Wang Shaofu, and was willing to stay in the middle of the transition with Ba County, and let me be the servant.
But Yong heard yesterday that the predecessor Dong Shizhong actually claimed to know the destiny of heaven in the position of a servant, and rebelled against the prophecy, Yong did not want to be in the same column with this fang, and asked the general to investigate! I also heard that Shu Road has been reopened recently, and Ba County can be reached, so it is better to ask the general to make a mistake and let Yong go to Ba County for more than a year, and then make plans. β
Li Su listened to it next to him and secretly admired it.
In the past two days, he has no new collusion with Cai Yong, and this hand was thought up by Cai Yong himself.
Originally, he could also go to Ba County to take office, but it was also a good move to use "the former servant was a thief, I think the reputation of the position is temporarily stinky, and I don't want to take over".
He Jin really couldn't refuse, and promised in front of Li Su and Wu Kuang: "Who would have thought that Dong Fu would be so rebellious, Cai Gong cherishes his feathers and doesn't want to be in the same ranks with this filthy person, which is also understandable."
I originally intended to let Cai Gong go abroad, but I have heard for a long time that Director Cai Gong has been in the Jingyi article, let you govern one side of the civil affairs, or the hot land in the south, and it will hurt Cai Gong. β
When Li Su heard this, he suddenly felt that he could use it, his eyes rolled, and he pretended to suggest out of public intentions: "General, the servant belongs to the Shaofu, and he is located on the Shangshu, and he should be in charge of the East View and the main book of history." Cai Shi is also proficient in scripture and righteousness all year round, and the first emperor said that he knew the destiny of heaven, and he should have swept away Dong Fuyu's poison.
Since he is now unwilling to take office as a servant, it is better to ask the general to grant him a special decree to serve outside the country and take charge of the scriptures and history, and allow him to select people who do not have a high rank from among the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and go to Ba County to revise the scriptures and history. Anyway, you can do your studies anywhere, and you don't stick to the Kyoshi. β
He Jin's ears are soft, and he happened to be persuaded by Wu Kuang, Li Su, and Cai Yong several times, it was when the iron was struck while it was hot, and he couldn't help but listen to it more and more reasonable, but he still asked: "Kedongguan cultivates books, there are many classics that need to be borrowed, how is it good?" β
Li Su: "It's better to allow Cai Shi to make a clear list of accounts, hand over to Lu Zigan, and borrow a part of it." The rest may be used and are really inconvenient to the outside world, you can also copy a copy and take it away. If some of the required quantities are large and it is necessary to engrave, you can also choose to ask the bookseller to engrave some urgently. As long as the manpower is sufficient, it will take less than half a month to get ready. β
He Jin touched his head: "I have no objection to this matter, but this is not a military matter, I am a joint assistant with Yuan Taifu, you still take my handwritten letter to Yuan Taifu to confirm it again, he said no problem, the Lantai and Dongguan collections, you can copy them, or keep accounts." β
Theoretically, He Jin is still assisting the government with Yuan Kui, and the pattern after the death of the first emperor is to ask Yuan Kui if he is indecisive in civil affairs, and He Jin is indecisive in military affairs, so the process still has to go through.
But Cai Yong also knew that as long as He Jin agreed, Yuan Kui would not deliberately act as a villain to stop him.
Li Su was secretly happy in his heart: With such a squeeze, he finally got all the borrowing rights of the Lantai and Dongguan collections......
Anyway, Li Su already knew that Ding Yuan had entered Beijing in the past two days, so Dong Zhuo was not far away if the time difference was calculated, and He Jin estimated that he would not survive until the end of this month.
When Dong Zhuo comes, this kind of coarse and rude will not reject the old edict on cultural undertakings, Cai Yong will just copy it and move away.
Even Dong Zhuo's people would not think of going to Lantai to take a look, Cai Yong left the transcript and took the authentic handiwork, Dong Zhuo didn't know. If you lose a little, you don't know, anyway, in the end, Dong Zhuo set it on fire, and there was nothing here.
Cai Yong is not only the Taishou of Bajun, but also borrows books and manages the history of the imperial court's scriptures, this kind of trick was actually thought up by Cai Yong!
However, in this way, Jiangzhou (Bajun County, Chongqing in later generations) may become a "Han Academic Center" bifurcated by the butterfly effect in the future......

PS: It's still two shifts today, but the number of words is definitely a lot, and there is one more in the afternoon. This is more than 5,500 words, and it will be more than 5,000 in the afternoon. The total number of words exceeds the normal three changes.
Add more words to thank the book friend for "listening to the wind" another helmsman.
