Liu Bei's question, of course, Li Su already had the answer in his heart.

However, the rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing,

The rivers and lakes are sophisticated.

The most taboo is to speak in depth.

Otherwise, you just say it, and others won't believe it.

Therefore, Li Su must first lay the background and emotions, so that Liu Bei himself subtly formed the impression that "Zhang Chunhe and the post supervisor do have motives to be dissatisfied with the imperial court".

He cleared his throat and said, "Xuande Gong, there are some words, as a postal superintendent, should not be told to outsiders. But I can't bear to see a person like Xuande Gong who is loyal to the court being framed by a villain, so I have to say. No matter what I hear for a while, I hope that Xuande Gong will keep it secret for me. ”

"You and I are like old friends at first sight, Mr. Gaoyi, how can Bei have the reason to betray his friends, out of the mouth of the king, into the ears of Bei, and no fifth person knows." Liu Bei packed the ticket as a matter of course.

If you come out to mix, you can't sell informants, this is basic professional ethics.

Liu Bei made this promise, which basically blocked the possibility of him confronting the superintendent.

Li Su nodded, and then continued with confidence: "Then Xuande Gong knows what is the reason for the military merit officials of Jizhou in the imperial court this time? Why did Jia Tingshi do it as soon as he arrived? How much does Xuan Degong know about the former assassin Shi Wang Fen, who died violently last year? ”

Before Liu Bei answered, Zhang Fei was already a little impatient: "Don't sell Guanzi, we also know that Wang Tingshi is a famous man and is ranked among the 'Eight Chefs'." I don't know anything else, so let's get straight to the point. ”

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world's celebrities were headed by the "Three Gentlemen", followed by the Eight Jun, followed by the Eight Gu, followed by the Eight and, and again the Eight Kitchens.

The chef himself is not talented and virtuous, and he is named because of his generosity and wealth, and his eagerness for justice and righteousness.

"Yide must not be rude! You can fix that problem. The grades of these celebrities are not worth studying. Because it was difficult for Qingliu to become an official in the year of the party, and he lacked the approval of the imperial court, he retreated and flaunted each other. For example, Xu Shao's Yuedan comment, if it was twenty years earlier, how could anyone be so sought after? ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but scold Zhang Fei, before turning to Li Sufu and smiling, "Brother Wai likes to tie up with celebrities, so Mr. can laugh." Just asked, I don't know, please advise. ”

Li Su nodded slightly, and continued to pave the way: "Then it's a long story, the turmoil in Jizhou officialdom, in the final analysis, is far from Wang Fen - he actually attempted rebellion and committed suicide in fear of crime. After Jia Tingshi took over, he was ordered to sand the officialdom of Jizhou, also to purge Wang Fen's henchmen and show loyalty to the imperial court. ”

"What? Wang Fen actually rebelled?! Liu Guanzhang and the three of them were shocked in unison, and even Liu Bei, a person who was invisible, was a little uncontrollable.

Fortunately, Liu Bei reacted quickly and immediately ordered: "Second brother and third brother are silent!" Listen to the gentleman! ”

Zhang Fei still didn't believe it, and muttered: "Why is there no news about such a big matter?" There won't be a fake. ”

Guan Yu was calmer, he stroked his long beard and pondered, and analyzed: "In this way, it is not without clues - big brother, do you remember that at the end of last year, there were rumors that he would return to the Qiandi of Hejian County as a regular family.

The counties along the way also purged thieves once for this purpose, saying that it was to avoid the road being unstable, and we were not rewarded for our meritorious service at that time. But later, the provincial relatives inexplicably canceled it, could it be related to the history of Wang Ting? ”

Li Su couldn't help but cast a look of approval, secretly thinking that Guan Yu's IQ was really quite sharp.

The matter mentioned by Guan Yu involves a background, that is, the two emperors of Huan Ling are not the heirs of the first emperor. In the later period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, successive young monarchs succeeded to the throne, but they all died without giving birth, so they could only find foreign vassals to succeed to the throne.

Huan Ling is the grandson and great-grandson of Liu Kai, the king of Hejian (Huan Ling is a cousin and nephew)

Because it was the queen of Hejian who succeeded to the unification, during the reign of Emperor Ling, he would occasionally tour the north and return to his hometown in Hejian from Luoyang to play.

The reason why Wang Fen dared to make a move was also because he was in Jizhou with the help of Hejian, and he planned to use the pretext of guarding against black mountain thieves to mobilize soldiers and horses from several counties in Jizhou, and then wait for Emperor Ling to force the palace to abolish the emperor on his northern tour.

But later, the court canceled the northern tour and recruited Wang Fen into Beijing, Wang Fen was completely blind, and he could only commit suicide in fear of crime.

The court was also afraid of embarrassment, and it only suspected Wang Fen's misdeeds before, but did not catch ironclad evidence of real evidence. Seeing that he committed suicide, he did not disclose the cause of death, which can be regarded as admitting "violent death in office". As a result, the grassroots officials in the counties below Jizhou actually did not know the truth about the cause of Wang Tingshi's death.

However, Li Su said this, which would not arouse suspicion of the source of intelligence. Because he is kind of "the secretary of the county guard", it is normal to know this.

He roughly explained the above details, and finally concluded: "It is true that as Yun Chang said, the cancellation of the Northern Hunt today is precisely because he suspected Wang Fen of rebellion and wanted to abolish the emperor and set up another Marquis of Hefei." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed rather depressedly: "Eh, Wang Fen is also a Qingliu celebrity, how can he be so rebellious, what is he trying to do?" ”

Li Su: "It's just because I trust the eunuchs today." Wang Fen was dismissed from office due to the party in his early years, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Shangshu advised the court to lift the party and return to his official career, so he hated the eunuchs deeply and wanted to use the abolition to punish the eunuchs. ”

Wang Fen is actually a fool, and this thing is completely whimsical, so smart people will not do it with him.

Historically, Wang Fen tried to find three friends to conspire with, namely Cao Cao, Hua Xin and Xu You.

Cao Cao sternly refused, Hua Xin tactfully dissuaded, and only Xu You expressed his spiritual support for him.

Zhang Fei listened to this analysis on the side, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "Wang Fen, this thief bird! It's just a matter of dying, and so many people are involved! By the way, Mr. just said that before Wang Fen's defeat, he had mobilized soldiers from various counties on the grounds of 'preparing for the Black Mountain Thieves'.

Isn't that the more he contributed to Montenegro last year, the more he was suspicious of the imperial court? Could it be that this is why the postal superintendent is called sick and does not allow me to wait for the official position of Brother Shati? But we are indeed loyal to the country and protect the territory and the people before we work hard to suppress thieves, how can Shangguan not distinguish between right and wrong? ”

When Li Su heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart: Originally, he wanted Liu Bei to feel that Zhang Chun "did not distinguish between rewards and punishments, sacrificing Liu Bei's apportionment and dismissal indicators".

Now, Zhang Fei's violent temper took the initiative to make up for this brain, but he saved some tongues.

Li Su skipped the foolish words of the second stage of the original plan, and directly put on a "sympathetic and loyal" demeanor, and sighed: "Actually, it's more than that......"

"Please speak to me, sir!" Even Liu Bei, who has always been moody, twitched the nasolabial folds at the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this, obviously because his anger value had accumulated to a certain extent.

"Zhang Chun, the minister of Zhongshan, and the superintendent of the post, the reason why they have to remove the Duke of Xuande this time is actually because they have also been cold to the purge of the imperial court, so they want to rebel against the Han. And Zhang Chunsu knew that Xuande Gong was a member of the Han family, and it was impossible to follow him, so he wanted to deceive the superiors and subordinates in the name of the imperial court, and punish dissidents before plotting rebellion! ”

"What? Zhang Yuanjun is also a brave general who has made meritorious contributions to the Yellow Turban, and he is quite favored by the country, how can he rebel? ! Liu Bei was so shocked when he heard this, he almost jumped up, and subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword, obviously thinking about whether Li Su might be making a false accusation.

This is really because in just a few minutes, there are so many exciting news that I heard, some of which are too magical.

Anyone changed, and I heard that my two-level bosses, the top leaders in the state and county, were all anti-thieves, who could accept this?

Li Su hurriedly reassured: "Don't be alarmed by Xuande Gong! Listen to me—when you heard that the postal governor had to dismiss you, didn't you feel unwilling in your heart? Haven't you ever thought about taking a bad breath and then abandoning your official position? ”

Liu Bei calmed down, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "This ...... A certain just now really wants to beat the superintendent hard! It's a big deal to abandon the official and leave! ”

Li Su: "Zhang Chun wants to rebel, and the resentment in his heart is the same as yours. When he saw that after Wang Tingshi's death, the imperial court was suspicious of the military merit officials of various counties in Jizhou, and everyone looked like Wang Fen's residual poison, and felt that the future was hopeless, so he took risks! ”

"This ......" Liu Bei was speechless for a moment, and the degree of acceptance of this matter also increased to five or five.

These are all speaking skills that Li Su practiced as a negotiator in his previous life, and in just a few words, it aroused Liu Bei's empathy.

Just like in "The Hongwu Case", when Zhu Yuanzhang asked the rebellious peasants, "Why don't you sue the officials", the peasants instantly choked back, "Why didn't you sue the officials when you rebelled"? Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely understand in seconds, and then he will have a kinship.

Li Su saw that Liu Bei fell into deep thought, and he didn't touch the hilt of the sword anymore, so he knew that the fire was almost over.

He hurriedly changed to a professional tone that seemed to sympathize with the gangsters' suffering, and said seductively: "Does Xuande Gong still know that last month, Tai Lieutenant Zhang Wen came to Ji and Youdian General, and planned to promote a Zhonglang general, who also protects the Wuhuan captain, and led three thousand Wuhuan to ride to Liangzhou to help and crusade against Beigong Boyu?"

Zhang Chun recommended himself to Taiwei Mao, but Taiwei abandoned him because he was an official in Jizhou. At that time, there was also the Liaodong County Magistrate Shi Gongsun Chan competing for this position, and Zhang Wen finally ordered Gongsun Chan's general.

Later, the imperial court issued this proclamation of the military officials of Shatai Jizhou, and these things were added up, and Zhang Chun speculated that staying in the imperial court would not end well, so he moved to rebel. ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up: "Of course I know about this!" Bogui is my senior brother! A month ago, he was reused by Taiwei Zhang, and he rode in Wuhuan, and I also sent a book to celebrate! It turned out that the direct cause of Zhang Zhijun's second heart was actually the competition with Brother Bogui! ”

In the end, this evidence involved Gongsun Zhan, and it was completely consistent with what Liu Bei knew, like a grass gray snake line, traveling thousands of miles, and finally made his trust in Li Su further increase to seven or eight percent.

Of course, seventy percent is already very good, after all, it involves rebellion, and no one dares to say full faith until there is ironclad evidence.

Li Suneng has been persuaded to this extent within half an hour of knowing the other party, and he can already be regarded as a golden lotus. It is impossible to do this without subtle eloquence and mental reasoning.

The last lump in Liu Bei's heart was just because he was still doubting Li Su's motives - why did Li Su just know him, so he was so open-minded and insightful with him?

Liu Bei took a deep breath to calm himself down a little, and then asked calmly: "There is still something unclear: even if everything is true, dare to ask why Mr. wants to report the head of the family?" ”

He subconsciously wanted to test Li Su, but this person could not be trusted.

After all, everyone likes people who are loyal to the imperial court, but preferably able to take care of the lord.

Li Su had long known that he couldn't avoid this question, and his face was righteous and stern at the moment: "A certain person is not a traitor seeking glory, but since ancient times, the loyal monarch is greater than the master, they are involved in rebellion, how can a certain sit back and watch the same stream!" How many innocent people will die in vain?

What's more, although Hu Shupeng and I have no name as a master and apprentice, but they have the fact of teaching, and the superintendent killed my teacher in order to kill his mouth, I would have already broken off with him and wanted to denounce him. It's just that he is alone, he has no power to restrain the chicken, and he has no chance to escape, so he has to endure it slowly. ”

Liu Bei listened to these three reasons, and then he was in awe: "It turns out that Mr. Guo is a righteous man."
