Chapter 97: Shocking Surprise

Cai Yong took a deep breath, glanced left and right, and seemed to think about it for three or five more seconds in a dull way before sighing slowly in a low voice:

"I believe that these contradictory beliefs are well-founded, and the causes and consequences are tightly aligned...... Maybe the original was burned by Zhang Lu, or maybe you tortured these contents from the insider's mouth and then formed a text.

Give me some time, it's not hard to have a handwriting similar to those homely lettersβ€”you're not in a hurry, are you? I am also for the people of the world, and I don't want to see so many Han clan relatives in Shu killing each other all year round. ”

Not wanting to see "perennial cannibalism" between Han clan relatives is of course not the same thing as not wanting to see "cannibalism".

Li Su is a human spirit, and he can obviously hear the difference.

The latter expression is that he doesn't want Liu Yan and Liu Bei to meet each other; The former expression is "If you want to do it, you should quickly divide the winner and loser, and the party that occupies the righteousness will kill the party who is losing as soon as possible, so that the people will suffer less."

Let the damned warlord speed up his death, the long pain is better than the short pain, and it is also a great merit to the people, Cai Yong really thinks so.

Up to now, Cai Yong knows in his heart: Liu Yan obviously has the intention of overstepping the system and separating the territory, the difference is only whether this kind of behavior has reached the level of blatant rebellion, so push him.

Li Su observed his words, and waited for the other party's inner struggle to be almost over, and then he relaxed one by one: "I'm not in a hurry, General Zhenxi doesn't know anything, Taishan can think about it slowly."

What's more, this kind of thing can't be handled in the first place, even if there is a reverse letter with very godlike handwriting, there must be just the right time to deliver it, and let Zong Zheng Jingsheng Gong coincidentally ask Taishan how to compare and recognize the handwriting...... Take your time. ”

Cai Yong breathed a sigh of relief: "I think so too, I'm not afraid of the jokes of the virtuous son-in-law, my current official position is more subtle than the virtuous son-in-law, and I dare to go to Jingsheng's virtuous brother, it will inevitably cause people to be confused."

In June, Dong Fu was seriously ill and now has been bedridden for more than a month, and last month, the general and his henchmen, the prince of Shaofu, also vented a breath with me, saying that he was going to transfer me to a foreign official and promote me to the middle of the service.

If the virtuous son-in-law and the general Zhenxi are not in a hurry, I think they can call their illness in Nanyang and delay for more than a month, and when I first imitate these letters, and talk to Jingsheng Xiandi about 'how to compare the authenticity of the appraisal documents', it is not too late for the virtuous son-in-law to enter Beijing to report to His Majesty. ”

(Note: Cai Yong is 55 years old, and Liu Xian is 48 years old, so he is a virtuous brother)

When Li Su heard this, he couldn't help but change his opinion of Cai Yong slightly.

You can't treat him as a pure old pedant or a great Confucian!

Unexpectedly, it has been less than half a year since he returned to the dynasty as an official, and Cai Yong's political acumen after being a Beijing official for more than ten years has returned.

Perhaps this is the level that a year-old Beijing official should have.

But how could such a politically sensitive person be so brainy in history that he didn't know what to say when Dong Zhuo died?

Li Su hurriedly changed his words: "Taishan is thoughtful, then according to Taishan's opinion." Moreover, I was rude and talked for a long time, but I didn't even have time to ask what Taishan is now...... When I was in Nanyang, I found out that the general appointed Taishan as the imperial servant. I didn't expect to be promoted to the middle of the service in more than a month? It's really gratifying. ”

When I met my father-in-law, I talked about confidential matters as soon as I came up, and I didn't even care about what the other party did, strictly speaking, it was quite unfilial.

The servant is only 600 stones, and the servant is more than 2,000 stones, which is too far in the middle, it is estimated that now Cai Yong has at least climbed to more than 1,000 stones, and then he can be able to serve the middle, otherwise it is impossible to leap up.

Even if Dong Zhuo promoted Cai Yong in the original history, he had to "between two months, three times in the Zhou calendar", and all kinds of clever names used the unspoken rules of officialdom to raise the person of 600 stones to 2,000.

Cai Yong also smiled embarrassedly, and only then did he have the opportunity to say these common things: "It's nothing, even if you do it, your rank is not as good as that of a virtuous son-in-law." The official position of the servant was when I returned to the court in March, and I was promoted to Shangshu in June.

Therefore, Wang Shaofu catered to the general's intentions and came up with the old method of 'transferring foreign officials not to stay in China', and asked me to first release Bajun Taishou next month with Cao Shangshu, and then on the grounds that the road is impassable and cannot be served, the sample rank will be about the same. ”

Cai Yong's mention of the method of concealing people's eyes and ears and quickly promoting officials, the layman may be a little confused, but after a little explanation, he will understand.

Because of the system of the Han Dynasty, the rank of local officials was actually much higher than that of Beijing officials. Shangshu and other positions, because he is a subordinate official of Shaofu, has a low rank, but the real power is very heavy, and the early Shangshu is only 600 stones, and later it is more than a thousand stones.

If you are promoted directly from Shangshu to Shizhong, it will be too difficult to operate, and it will easily arouse the hostility of other seniority in the DPRK and China - don't underestimate this hostility, in the imperial court, it is also very important to take care of all aspects of your feelings, even if He Jin is a general, you must take care of it.

Therefore, in the two years of 189 and 190 in history, there was a method in the imperial court, called "pretending to release a person at the level of Shangshu to Bajun Taishou, but in fact he could not go to the post, and then he could be converted to a high-ranking official at the level of Jiuqing".

Because no matter how high the rank of foreign officials is, they will not attract hatred from Beijing officials.

Why Ba Shire?

Because in the original history, in the past two years, only Ba County was isolated by Zhang Lu as a Han envoy;

At the same time, before Zhang Lu was isolated, the imperial court knew that the old Taishou was killed by the Brazilian thief Gan Ning, and there was no Taishou there;

And even if Zhang Lu gets out of the way, there are still Ban Yu barbarian rebellions in Ba County that have not been pacified, so it is impossible for Ba County Taishou to take office.

This is not a coincidence, nor is it that God has hung Li Su, but history is like this - there are two ironclad evidences, when Dong Zhuo was in power, Dong Zhuo even appointed Cai Yong and Xu Jing as Bajun Taishou almost at the same time, and the first official and the second term were only a few days apart, and they almost didn't make a joke.

But then Cai Yong compensated him for a servant with a rank similar to that of Bajun Taishou on the grounds of "unable to take office".

And Xu Jing also compensated for the Shangshu Order for the same reason - and before Xu Jing was appointed as the Taishou of Bajun, he was just a Shangshu "Lang", a Lang character and a Ling character, and the rank was not much worse.

Then the courtiers understood Dong Zhuo's operation: this is because they don't want these two goods to rise too quickly and attract hatred.

To put it bluntly, Bajun Taishou is now a trash can for courtiers to cross the bridge to cover their shame, so that the related households can quickly complete the shortcut of "600 Shi Jingguan - 2,000 Shi Foreign Official - because you can't take office - compensate you for a 2,000 Shi Jingguan".

However, Li Su came out! This is where history takes a turning point.

Zhang Lu has been killed by Liu Bei, Ban Yuman has also been surrendered for money, and Gan Ning has also been captured!

As long as Li Su appears, when he appears, it will be announced when Bajun Taishou can successfully take office!

After getting the inside information of his father-in-law-to-be, Li Su instantly adjusted his strategy and changed his words to persuade:

"That being the case...... I don't think Taishan has to wait for the general to transfer you as a servant - didn't the general first transfer Taishan to Bajun Taishou, and then stay in the middle to change the post on the grounds that he could not take office?

The son-in-law is willing to calculate the time, and wait for the general's previous order to stay in the middle of the time after the order of the previous Bajun Taishou is issued, and the follow-up order to stay in the middle has not yet been issued, the time difference in the middle, arrive in Beijing, report to His Majesty, inform Hanzhong and Bajun that they have been pacified, and Bajun Taishou can take office!

And the son-in-law is also good for Taishan, and the position of the servant may have been noble, but he recently took over the post of the servant, but it was not very lucky, because the Dong servant who had just left his post after being seriously ill was implicated in the Liu Yan case. ”

Hey, hey, He Jin and Wang Yun also learned from Dong Zhuo, and wanted to use the uncontrollable position of Bajun Taishou as a trash can to cross the bridge to cover up their shame, so let's get rid of it!

(With He Jin's IQ, it is estimated that he can't think of this kind of officialdom operation, he and Dong Zhuo used the same tricks, and they may have been taught by Shaofu Wang Yun)

Cai Yong listened, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Of course, he also wants to come back to be an official, but the current situation in the capital does not look very stable, and being a foreign official is definitely more comfortable than being a Beijing official.

If you can really be a 2,000-stone county guard, isn't it more comfortable than a waiter?

"That's right...... Why didn't I expect that Ba Jun couldn't get there in the first place, but the virtuous son-in-law came, so he couldn't get there! Okay, okay, then let's adjust the time, and the virtuous son-in-law should go back to Nanyang Yique Pass first and pretend to be sick...... Half a month. When the general pretended to release me as the commander of Bajun, I immediately informed the virtuous son-in-law, and the virtuous son-in-law quickly entered Beijing.

By the way, the virtuous son-in-law also said just now that Dong Fu Dong Shizhong was also implicated in Liu Yan's reverse case, what is going on? It's all because I didn't look carefully at all the dishonest letters and confessions just now. Since we want to help our virtuous son-in-law accomplish this, it is better to take this opportunity to read all the evidence involving Liu Yan's party a priori, so that I can be mentally prepared to know which people in the DPRK and China can still get close to in the near future and which ones should keep their distance. ”

Cai Yong wants to pick out the people who are involved with Liu Yan as soon as possible, and try to get rid of the relationship in the past few months, and try not to socialize, so as not to fall into any tricks and overturn at the last moment before the release.

He now cherishes the opportunity to go to another county to be a taishou.

Li Su carefully arranged the letters and confessions just now, and personally instructed him to examine them.

In fact, there are not many people in the center of the imperial court who are implicated in Liu Yan's rebellion, mainly Dong Fu, and the evidence of the crime is nothing more than those prophecies written in Liu Yan's false letters, what Dong Fu told him that "Yizhou has the spirit of the son of heaven", "the sister of the nephew Wu Yi is unspeakably expensive, and can be a good match for the third son" and other rebellious words.

After Cai Yong saw it, he trembled with anger: "This Dong Fu! As an official of the imperial court, he actually said such persuasive words to Liu Yan, and it seemed that he would not die well on the hospital bed.

Well? It is also mentioned here that Liu Yan did listen to this and kissed Wu Yi's sister for his third son, Liu Mao...... Isn't Wu Yi the brother of Wu Ban, Wu Kuang, the father of Wu Ban, is not also involved in the reverse case? Wu Kuang is the henchman of the general's command who is in charge of the capital guards, and he and Zhang Zhang are each in charge of half of the capital's soldiers and horses. ”

When Cai Yong said this interpersonal relationship coldly, even Li Su couldn't help but be startled: What? Wu Yi is actually Wu Kuang's nephew?

In his previous life, he looked at the Three Kingdoms, and it was a little dark under the lights, and he always felt that Wu Yi was just an important minister in Shuzhong, and he should have nothing to do with the center of the court in Luoyang. was reminded by Cai Yongyi, only to notice that there was such a layer of relatives among them.

This Wu Kuangke is also a key chess piece when Dong Zhuotun He entered the forces.

After He Jin was killed by the eunuchs in the official history, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's personal bodyguards who protected He Jin could not capture the imperial city or kill the eunuchs at all. The main force that really attacked the palace was Wu Kuang's troops.

After Dong Zhuo and the Young Emperor returned to Beijing, they wanted to annex He Jin's descendants, and the main targets were Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang. It was after these two people were frightened and encircled by Dong Zhuo that Dong Zhuo overwhelmed the local army in Luoyang.

Moreover, after He Jin's death, Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang characterized his younger brother He Miao, who was at odds with him, as a "thief who plotted his brother", and killed He Miao, which caused He Jin's forces to completely lose their backbone and had to collapse and attach themselves to Dong Zhuo.

I didn't expect that such a key commander of the Beijing Division could also be involved in Liu Yan's rebellion case!

Wu Kuang's deceased brother is now Liu Yan's son and daughter's family! Some people also say that Wu Kuang's niece has the appearance of a queen!

This fierce news broke out a few years in advance, which is amazing.

Li Su's brain was running quickly: how to use this extra news? Do you want to pull out the letter "Liu Yan said that Wu Yi's sister is unspeakably expensive"? Or is it implemented as originally planned?
