Volume II, Chapter 10 Decision-making

Overnight, the situation of all parties in Luoyang City has undergone earth-shaking changes.

First of all, it was the official prison in the eastern part of the city that engaged in Zhang Fei's death, which was a great matter, and it was already a noisy city, and the rumors did not stop.

The murderer was Yuan Shang, the third son of Yuan Shao, the former lieutenant of the current Sili School, and there were many prison officials as witnesses, and there were bright red characters on the earthen wall in the prison as physical evidence, which can be described as conclusive evidence.

However, there is a lot of gossip and discussion about the so-called, but it is not the same thing, and there are several kinds of contradictions and speculations.

Most people think that it seems strange and strange to engage in Zhang Fei's death, but his related characters are only Shi Ziyi. The murderer on the prison wall is named Yuan Shang, and the prisoner is Yuan Benchu, the captain of Si Li, so this appearance is extremely contradictory.

Yuan Shang, as the youngest of Yuan Shao's three sons, is only about eight years old now, at such an age, and with such an identity, it is impossible for him to have a political position contrary to his father Yuan Shao, so in this case, if it is really his work to kill Zhang Fei in Zhongdu official prison, there is only one explanation, that is, Yuan Shang did this on the orders of his father, but if he was ordered by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's intentions are quite difficult to understand?

Yuan Shao coordinated the overall situation, laid a net, and finally convicted Shi Ziyi and sent him to prison in the most reasonable way, but overnight, he let his son use the most illegal means to rob Shi Ziyi from prison, what is the reason?

Once the truth can't be explained, it will be regarded as an illusion, so more people think that the bright red characters on the wall of the Zhongdu official prison are malicious frames and framed by someone, and in fact they are not Yuan Shang's doing.

However, according to the other jailers present, the person who led the crowd to prison at night, regardless of how old he was, was indeed a child, and it was very likely that he was the same age as Yuan Shang, and he was eight years old.

It's just that all of this is speculation, and there is no conclusive result after all.

If it was not Yuan Shang, then the eight-year-old child, Tina Shi Ziyi, and the vain suicide made everyone's eyes involuntarily focus on the extremely noble prince in the palace, but because of his identity, he didn't dare to say it clearly.

As for why Liu Wei killed Zhang Fei, and pretending that Yuan Shang left such a note that could not stand scrutiny, I am afraid that no one can guess the truth except Liu Wei himself.

In fact, for Liu Wei, he just wants to use this matter to test the boundaries of his rights, he is the prince of the Han Dynasty, if there is no accident, he will succeed Liu Hong one day and become the core of the power of this huge empire, but now his own power and the weight of his words are not seen by anyone.

He Jin doesn't listen to himself, Yuan Shao doesn't give himself face, and Xu You, a wise man in the world who has no identity, doesn't bother himself, even a small official like Zhang Fei chose Yuan Shao without hesitation when faced with the choice between Yuan Shao and Liu Bian, these people are respectful to themselves on the surface, but they are just for the sake of Emperor Liu Hong, and because of this, although killing Zhang Fei is not Liu Bian's original intention, but killing Zhang Fei is Liu Bian's must do.

He wants to see what will happen to the prince of the dignified Han Dynasty, even if he kills officials in vain, and what will happen to him. Liu Wei was not afraid of what kind of punishment he would receive, but the process of killing Zhang Fei made him a little afraid, as a person in later generations who killed people with a knife for the first time, he was somewhat frightened.

Besides, the note left on the wall was just a whim, wanting to stimulate Yuan Shao's naughty behavior, let alone any strategy.

In short, the repeated tossing and turning of this night, as well as the review of what Xu Yu said, finally allowed Liu Wei to figure out some clues from these incidents, and the reasons for the results gradually surfaced.

"Your Highness is saying that the riots of the Yishe homeless people in the southeastern suburbs were all caused by Yuan Sili?" Shi Ziyi, who had woken up, lay on his side on the bed, and his voice was particularly weak.

"Under his command Yuan Shao, there are many talented people like Xu Yu, if you want to disadvantage you and come up with such a means, it is not unusual."

"In that case, what is Your Highness thinking? I looked unhappy when I saw you return to the palace this time, but what did you have to worry about? ”

Liu Wei sighed and said, "Xu You and I mentioned the two of them. ”

"Who?"

"Huangmen Shilang, Feng Yu, Xu Feng."

"Aren't these two the people His Highness wanted me to keep an eye on in the past?"

"However, I once told you that these two people were the meticulous works of Taiping Dao in the forbidden, intending to hide the Taiping Dao's rebellion."

When Shi Ziyi heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't make a sound. Even if he used to protect the Taiping Dao in the past, but now he is imprisoned for colluding with the Taiping Dao and wanting to rebel against him, Shi Ziyi no longer believes it in his heart, but he can't help but have doubts, maybe he really just looked away? Isn't this Taiping Dao really a good thing?

Liu Wei said to himself: "According to Xu Yu's words, it is what these two people have done Yuan Shao has already known, and he wanted to use the deeds of these two people to plan the affairs of the eunuchs, but unexpectedly, we stumbled into it by mistake and fell into their Gu. ”

"Your Highness is saying that we are building a righteous house and relieving the displaced people is actually controlled by Yuan Sili, and I, Shi Ziyi, have become the substitute ghosts of Feng Yu and Xu Feng?"

"Sort of." Liu Wei nodded and continued: "It's just that what surprises me is how Yuan Shao knew that this letter and Xu and the others are the works of Taiping Dao and Forbidden, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Shi Ziyi shook his head again and again, and said angrily: "Feng and Xu, although they are only the servants of the Yellow Gate, they are not regular attendants, but they are also rare eunuchs of the Qingming Dynasty. ”

"That's what I mean, if it weren't for the fact that Juan Juan knew it in his heart, it would be difficult to believe that the power of the Taiping Dao could infiltrate the palace, or even infiltrate the forbidden middle." Liu Wei also shook his head again and again.

"In this case, does Your Highness think that Xu You's words are true or false? Or is it just for the sake of the eunuchs, and they are planted at will? ”

Liu Wei held his forehead with his hand, still shaking his head: "How can there be such a coincidence in the matter, besides, this Feng Zhen and Xu Feng are just a few Huangmen servants, if they really want to plant a false accusation, wouldn't it be better to splash dirty water on the heads of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong?" What Xu You said, although it is not all true, but it is definitely not true, I have been thinking about it for the past few days, Xu You has no last resort to this matter because we are bent on building a righteous house, but if we do not build a righteous house and accept the displaced people, we just go with the flow, what should Yuan Shao do? ”

Planning, planning, is not Shi Ziyi's forte, not to mention this matter, as a person in the bureau, it is even more difficult to peek at one or two, seeing Liu Wei pondering deeply, he finally didn't dare to interrupt with words.

"The ultimate goal of building the Righteous House from the past to the future and even now is to delay the migration of displaced people and prevent them from gathering together with individual counties and townships, right?" Liu Wei asked suddenly.

"In the past, His Royal Highness said this to the old minister." Shi Ziyi hurriedly replied.

"What we have done, it is not too much to prevent the Taiping Dao instead, if we go with the flow and don't do this, then the Taiping Dao matter will have to wait until Tang Zhou (the person who reported the Taiping Dao) to appear in the world before it can be revealed." Liu Wei was noncommittal, and said to himself: "And among them, Yuan Shao will never get involved in the community, and the bus will enter Luolai to be a lieutenant." ”

Shi Ziyan was confused, so he had to nod his head.

"Taichang Yang Gongfang knows the dangers of Taiping Dao, he is the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, and there are many talents, don't you even have this vision? Besides, since Yuan Shao knew that Feng Zhen and Xu Feng colluded with the Taiping Dao and deceived the saints, he didn't report it, I think he was deliberately covering up and conniving. Liu Wei frowned slightly, as if he noticed the slightest eyebrows: "I can't wait for Yang Gong's advice, I have done some small things, not to mention obstructing the rise of Taiping Road, but even with such a small behavior, Yuan Shao actually took such a fancy to it, made a big move, carefully planned to put you in prison, and charged you with such a big crime, I seem to understand a little." ”

Shi Ziyi was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Your Highness understands something." ”

"As I expected, this Taiping Dao is definitely not just a matter of three or two Qianshou angrily exposing things and talking about them, among them, the cause and effect must be indispensable to the deliberate connivance of the Ruyang Yuan clan and pushing the boat down the river." Liu Wei asserted sonorously.

Shi Zi was dumbfounded, and he was speechless.

"I seem to have figured it out." Liu Wei still said to himself: "The so-called Yellow Turban Uprising in the history books gathered 36 counties in the world, and hundreds of thousands of people across the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan. ”

As he spoke, Liu Wei actually laughed out loud: "The Yuan family has gone through four dynasties, and the protΓ©gΓ©s of the party are widely spread all over the world, Your Majesty has long said that the hundred officials in the world are not so much the officials of the imperial court, but the former officials of the Yuan family, the matter of the Taiping Dao, if the Yuan family deliberately connived, which of these court officials dare to play the court and talk about the benefits?" ”

"I see." Shi Ziyi also woke up, patted his forehead and said: "So from beginning to end, only the two people who talked about the Taiping Dao were Taichang Yang Gong and His Royal Highness, and Yang Gong and His Majesty's Taiping Dao affairs were probably limited to Feng and Xu. ”

Liu Wei snorted coldly and said: "It's not so much the Taiping Dao as the Yuan Shao Sho, if it weren't for the Yuan clan's secret operation, how could those Qiantou Diao people of the Taiping Dao have such a ability, and they can actually collude with the six hundred stone eunuchs in the forbidden middle." ”

"Yes, yes!" Shi Ziyi nodded frequently.

"But right now, Feng and Xu are also going to become Yuan Shao's outcasts."

Shi Ziyi was stunned suddenly, and asked blankly, "Why is this?" ”

"Xu Yu made it clear to me about Feng and Xu. Naturally, I don't plan to keep these two anymore, now that you have been released from the official prison in Zhongdu and are safe for the time being, then Yuan Shao's calculation of borrowing a knife to kill people is completely exposed. But now he has become the captain of the school, integrating the interests of the party members in the world and his body, and he is no longer the model of the world who escaped from the world in the past, so as Xu You said, if you want to become a major eunuch, you can only borrow the seal and Xu Shiduan, and create eunuchs to collude with the Taiping Dao matter, and kill all the eunuchs in the palace, so as to become the wish of the party members and promote Yuan Shao's name and the world! Liu said eloquently.

"In that case, what should we do?" Shi Ziyi was anxious and hurriedly asked.

"The general trend is that there is no longer anything left in the palace." Speaking of this, Liu Bian's heart moved, and he smiled slightly: "Even if you can stay in the palace, there is no need to stay, Dad, I want you to go out of the palace to find someone for me, first, to avoid disasters in Luozhong, and secondly, the world is in turmoil, we should indeed cultivate our own forces!" ”

Shi Ziyi has always been obedient to Liu Bian's words, and when he heard Liu Bian's words, he nodded busily.

"Guanghe six years, if my memory is not bad, this person is now twenty-four years old, the age of the tiger and wolf, it is just right!"

Shi Ziyi interjected and asked: "The person His Highness is looking for, where is the household registration and what is the name?" ”

Liu Wei nodded and said with a smile: "This person is from Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, and Lu Bu and Lu Feng are also first. ”
