Chapter 20: Waiting to Die
Gongsun Xun returned home drunk, and then sat down on a chair at the top of the inner hall under the service of his wife and a few maidservants, and almost didn't sit the fat cat that was getting fatter and fatter to death.
However, after wiping his face, he immediately regained his clarity, immediately got his wife and a group of maids down, and summoned Lu Fan and Han Dang instead.
"Ziheng, what does Luo Mu have to say about Cao Jie?" Gongsun Xun asked Lu Fan bluntly.
According to his words, Cao Jie has always been terrified after being so ruthlessly deprived of military power by the Son of Heaven, so he has been honestly closing the door to protect himself...... At first, I only thought that he was defending Cao Jie, but according to the information we came back from personally investigating, it seems that this is indeed the case, and Cao Jie has been just sitting at home, as if he was a prisoner. β
Gongsun Xun raised his head thoughtfully, but immediately put it aside: "The arrow has to be sent on the string, and it can't be controlled so much, hasn't the evidence of Yang Biao's promise been sent yet?" β
"I think it was Yuan Feng who had a stroke, and then the Yang family ......reined in," Lu Fan couldn't help frowning and replied. However, the prince of the Imperial Observatory sent a large amount of evidence. β
Gongsun Xun also frowned.
"Isn't it all the same?" Han Dang didn't know why. "It's all evidence......"
"Yigong, that's not the case." Lu Fan explained softly to Han Dang. "The evidence is the same, but who sent it is different. Wang Yun's evidence is not only evidence, but also the attitude of Yushitai, and Yang Biao's evidence is not only evidence, but also the attitude of Hongnong Yang...... The portion is different in the Son of Heaven! β
Han Dang didn't know why, and Lu Fan could only say it here, and then he could only rely on his personal perception and understanding.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to Yang's mansion to urge." Gongsun Xun shook his head and said. "It's best for Yang Biao and Wang Yun's evidence to be presented together!"
"Wen Qi said this, could it be ......" Lu Fan couldn't help but verify the thoughts in his heart.
"Yang Qiu is the captain of Si Li, Qiao Gong is Situ Lingshangshu, Lu Shi is Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Tao and Liu Gong are the official Shangshu of the Central Capital, and I am engaged in the Zhongdu Official." Gongsun Xun enumerated them one by one with the smell of wine. "In addition, the Son of Heaven is powerful, and the intention of cleaning up the court is obvious...... It's time to get started! β
Lu Fan and Han Dang are both awe-inspiring.
"Yigong," Gongsun Xunfu turned his head to look at Han Dang again. "I have been in Luozhong for half a year, I don't know what the righteous servants think? Does anyone want to return home? β
"Shaojun laughed." Han Dang shook his head again and again. "Although these people are all children of the Yanmen clan, but the clan does not represent the big family, they used to be willing to come to Luoyang with the young monarch, they are either helpless at home or feel that they can't find a future in the township, whether they come to Luoyang to see the long term, or follow the young gentleman to find a background, where will it be annoying for half a year? Besides, the young monarch is extremely kind to them......"
"Can you still kill?" Gongsun Xun interrupted the other party and was straightforward.
"Shaojun is laughing again." Han Dang was speechless. "The children of the border county, they were born in the army, what use do they have if they can't kill people?!"
"Then let them sit back and prepare to kill." Gongsun Xun exhaled a breath of wine and said casually.
Nothing was said all night.
And on the second day, when Gongsun Xun had survived the Shangshutai for a long time, and saw the edict of worshiping Qiao Xuan as Situ Lingshang Shushi passing through Shangshutai, he left Shangshutai straight on the grounds that he needed to settle the matter with the captain of Si Li's side in the case of Qiao Xuan's young son kidnapping yesterday...... However, after leaving Nangong, he did not rush to find Yangqiu, but went to Yang Ci's mansion.
Yang Ci, who had just stepped down from Situ and then paralyzed his own family, actually met Gongsun Xun in person...... To be honest, this inevitably made the latter a little stunned.
After all, not only is the identity gap between the two sides too large, but more importantly, the two sides are not very close.
Of course, on the other hand, if the other party has to meet in person, then I am afraid that this meeting is an important matter to discuss.
"Wen Qi." Yang Ci's face is pale, and he no longer has the kind of kindness when he saw his juniors before, and his tone is also extremely serious. "I know why you're here, but I want to ask you...... The stakes are high, are you really sure? β
"What did Yang Gong say?" Gongsun Xun stalked his neck, and he immediately became angry. "Killing eunuchs is the duty of a scholar, is it not because you are not sure that you will not do it? Hongnong Yang is the third prince of the third dynasty, since Yuan Feng Yuan Gong does not have the mandate of heaven, then Yang Gong you are the leader of the clan and a model scholar! And now, our group of juniors are willing to charge forward at the cost of their lives, why did Yang Gong hesitate? is so timid, wouldn't it make the world laugh at it? β
"Uh......"
To tell the truth, Yang Ci was a little dazed for a while, because he had always been condescending to spray others, and he really didn't want to be sprayed by others one day...... And how familiar this is how it sounds, it seems to be what I often say.
Of course, after all, Yang Boxian was an emperor of one dynasty, born in three generations and three dukes, so he quickly came back to his senses and laughed loudly:
"Wen Qi doesn't have to be angry, I'm just trying to say a thing or two, I already have a plan for the eunuch!"
"I see." Gongsun Xun's face was stunned. "It's the boy Meng Lang."
"It doesn't matter." Yang Ci laughed dryly again, and then immediately regained his solemnity. "Don't hide it from Wen Qi, my son Wen first came to Jingzhao Yin for only a few days, and then I found that Wang Fu and his henchmen were doing mischief in Xijing, and they had reached the point of anger and resentment...... Do you know how much money he collected in Xijing by disposing of the case of Empress Song? β
How could this Gongsun Xun know? But it's certainly not going to be less.
You must know that this wave of Empress Song is not just as simple as the queen being deposed and the Song family being beheaded, behind this is the downfall of a bunch of non-Liu magnates who did not know how many sons of heaven continued to support before today's son succeeded to the throne...... This bunch of magnates are mainly distributed in the core area of Chang'an, Luoyang, and Nanyang, which one is not continuous for several generations and is intertwined? In fact, if it weren't for Cao Cao's grandfather Da Changqiu Cao Teng who was too powerful that day, the trough might not be able to get in.
Such a group of people, it is not impossible to say that they are part of the ruling authority of the Liu family's Son of Heaven to maintain the capital and Guanzhong, and even sometimes Gongsun Xun vaguely guesses that after Dong Zhuo's death, a group of Xiliang big-headed soldiers can despise the authority of the Han family so much, and it may not be that there is no role in the fact that the direct force of this big piece of Tianzi has been swept away.
Of course, this is the so-called afterthought of standing on the historical heights of 1,800 years after his wife, at this moment, don't say anything about the dying of the Han family, the typical cool official Yang Qiu even clapped his hands, saying that the Son of Heaven is resolute and resolute, quite cheering up, it should be swept away like this......
How so? If you really maintain this kind of execution for 30 years, this son of heaven will be the master of a generation of ZTE...... But that's just a matter of thinking about it.
"Please teach Yang Gong." No matter what, Gongsun Xun knew that the play meat had arrived, so he immediately bowed and saluted.
"Seventy million dollars!" Yang Ci couldn't help but sneer. "It's just a few days, and you can make 70 million!"
Rao is Gongsun Xun was mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then immediately solemnized: "Kill!" β
"That's exactly what it is!" Yang Ci's face became more and more serious. "I've got the evidence ready, you can take it with you when you leave...... But Wen Qi, there is one thing that must be asked to you clearly, when are you going to launch it? β
"This matter still needs to be discussed with Captain Si Li." Gongsun Xun said calmly. "But with all due respect, I thought that although we were already prepared, the queen ...... If the Song family is not executed for a day, we will not be able to launch it for a day. β
"I'm relieved that Wen Qi can have this insight." Yang Ci couldn't help but sigh. "Actually, Your Majesty acted too harshly and too fiercely in the Song case, and as a teacher, I am also very helpless, although I have some advice, it is useless at all......"
"Yang Gong is not more than self-blame." Gongsun Xun hurriedly persuaded. "The Son of Heaven is bent on going his own way, and the matter has become a foregone conclusion, so there is no need to do any childish gestures. On the contrary, if Wang Fu can be killed by this incident, I think the resentment of the Song family's relatives and friends and the court can also be relieved. β
Yang Ci couldn't help but bow his head.
In fact, what the two said was still a little vague, what the Song family could only launch after the Song family was killed, and it could only be launched after Queen Song died!
It's just that I can't say it at all.
You must know that if Queen Song does not die for a day, the Son of Heaven and all the upstarts in the palace will not let go of their hearts for a day, and they will continue to keep Wang Fu to do dirty work. But once Empress Song is dead, the Son of Heaven and the upstarts will be eager to get rid of this house...... After all, everyone knows that the matter of Queen Song's witch Gu is pure nonsense, the Son of Heaven and the nouveau riche just want to abolish the queen and clean up the old magnates left by the previous dynasty, they know the queen's innocence better than anyone else.
And in this year, the innocent and tragic death of a queen who is a mother in the world is undoubtedly a huge psychological burden for all the initiators in the palace...... Maybe such a ruthless son of heaven will be awakened by a nightmare one night!
Of course, whether it is Yang Ci or Gongsun Xun, they all know the innocence of Empress Song, but this is political ...... In a huge political whirlpool, a woman's innocence is meaningless. On the contrary, when the matter has become a foregone conclusion, any politician or politician with a modicum of sanity should know how to use the influence of this political event to achieve his own goals.
And that's exactly what they're doing.
The two looked at each other without saying a word, so there was no need to continue to talk more, and after a while, Gongsun Xun officially said goodbye to Yang Ci. Outside the door, boxes of evidence were packed and put on the carriage, and he followed Gongsun Xun directly to Captain Sili.
However, what is interesting is that when Gongsun Xun was about to drive to see Yang Qiu, the room where he had talked to Yang Ci before was hula and turned into a person.
"Father," this person gave Yang Ci a direct gift...... It was actually Yang Biao, who was supposed to be in Jing Zhaoyin's office. "My son still doesn't understand."
"Don't understand what?" Yang Ci turned around abruptly and asked. "My generation, isn't it natural to punish eunuchs? And weren't you the one who promised to find evidence in the Western Capital that day? β
"That's not what my son meant." Yang Biao crouched on the ground and replied reluctantly. "My son is worried about other things......"
"It's just you and me, father and son, you just say it," Yang Ci looked out the door expressionlessly. "Don't you just think that I paralyzed your father-in-law, and at this time you should restrain yourself and be talked about behind your back?"
"Shouldn't it be?" Yang Biao asked.
"That grandson boy jumped up and down in front of me just now, which was extremely rude, but there was a very good sentence." Yang Ci stood up proudly and said. "If Yuan Fengtian doesn't fake his life, then my Yang clan will naturally lead the world! In my opinion, this time the eunuch is very grasped, in this case, such a good opportunity, how can my generation abandon it because of a little fame?! If it happens, maybe you can replace Yuan Shao as the leader of the party! Besides, Yuan Feng himself wrote to his family, and it was the Son of Heaven who killed him, not me! He's paralyzed, what's the matter with me? β
Yang Biao wanted to speak and stopped.
"What more do you want to ask?" Yang Ci squinted at his eldest son, the future leader of the Yang family.
"My son wants to ask...... Is my father-in-law really paralyzed? Yang Biao couldn't help but lower his voice.
"Paralyzed!" Yang Ci really couldn't hold back, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, fortunately his son couldn't see it. "It's really paralyzed, and it's getting harder and harder to write with my left hand...... If there are no accidents, his time is running out. When the time comes, you just come down from Jing Zhaoyin's appointment and keep filial piety for him for a few months as a sign of respect. Now, go back to Jingzhao as soon as possible, the province has been criticized for leaving his post without permission. β
Yang Biao was speechless for a while, so he had to lean over again: "Wow! β
In the Yuan Mansion, which was only a few miles away from the Yang Mansion, another conversation between father and son was also underway. Of course, the conversation here is a bit tougher.
I saw Yuan Fengyuan, who was in the court in the past, lying on the bed with a pale face, and from time to time saliva slid uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, while his three sons stood in a row on the side of the bed, each with an expressionless face, but Yuan Ji stepped forward from time to time to wipe it.
There was a huge bedroom, but there was not a single maid or servant.
"I didn't call you here today for anything else, but because your father's left hand is getting more and more strained," Yuan Kui said with a sigh. So after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to try to explain some things...... Yesterday, he drew several sand tables, and I memorized them on the side...... The stakes are high, so you'd better be serious. β
The three Yuan brothers finally couldn't help but glance at each other a few times, and then, Yuan Ji stepped forward and saluted his uncle: "Please ask your uncle to teach on behalf of your father." β
"Your father said yesterday...... Looking at what the Son of Heaven did, I don't know the severity, I don't know the yin and yang, and the world may be in chaos...... If it is not chaotic, it is needless to say, if it is chaotic, my Yuan family may not be able to ...... It doesn't have to be ......"
"Maybe it can't be replaced?" Yuan Shao, who was wrapped in a filial piety cloth on his head, couldn't help but interrupt the other party and asked.
"Yes, yes!" Yuan Kui immediately sweated profusely.
Hearing this, Yuan Ji was also a little at a loss, but Yuan Shu couldn't help but take a step forward: "Didn't you say that the Son of Heaven surnamed Zhong was maliciously done by someone?" β
"It's really a malicious act." Yuan Kui hurriedly explained. "It should be Gongsun Xun, Yang Qiu, and Wang Yun's gang of people who are in order to punish the eunuchs...... But ......"
"But it doesn't have to be without merit, right?" Yuan Shu couldn't help but twist his short beard and asked. "Those who represent the Han should be high, although it is artificial, it may not be unreasonable."
"Is this the time to think about this kind of thing?" Yuan Shao was furious. "Since we know that these people did it, they are the accomplices who helped the Son of Heaven harm our father...... The Son of Heaven can't reach it, and the captain of the Yangqiu Division needs to think in the long run, but what about Gongsun Xun? β
Yuan Shu and Yuan Ji immediately changed their appearances.
However, just as the three brothers were preparing for something, they suddenly heard a sound of snorting on the bed behind them, and connected with Yuan Kui, the four of them turned around, but saw Yuan Feng open his mouth to speak, scribble with his left hand, and keep sliding saliva in his mouth, so he hurriedly surrounded him and cleaned up.
After being stunned for a moment, Yuan Kui suddenly reacted: "Your father's meaning, I'm afraid that you should not touch these people for the time being...... Did he confess yesterday? β
"Don't move...... Is my father worried that Luozhong's situation is uneasy and that he will be attacked in a hurry? Yuan Ji couldn't help asking.
Without Yuan Kui replying, Yuan Feng, who was helped up, immediately blinked his eyelids twice.
"I see." Yuan Shao bowed slightly. "Then we'll wait until later......"
Yuan Feng didn't say a word, but he stared at his younger brother Yuan Kui.
Yuan Kui suddenly realized, and then hurriedly said: "Your father wrote a sentence yesterday...... It's about Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Clan. β
The three Yuan brothers immediately held their breath.
"What he means is that if the world is in chaos, the Gongsun clan is like the Geng clan, and Gongsun Xun should be the master of the northern land, if you have the mandate of heaven, you can take it yourself!"
Hearing this, Yuan Ji was silent, but Yuan Shao couldn't help but be stunned, and Yuan Shu bowed slightly.
Another cloud of saliva overflowed, and this time, none of the three brothers thought to wipe their old father.
