The three generals, He Jin, Taifu Yuan Kui, and Emperor Yang Ci, respectively wrote to the Son of Heaven and asked for a pardon for Wang Yun, which caused a great sensation in the court. After all, compared with the three bigwigs in the court, Wang Yun is too different in terms of qualifications, positions, and family background.

Some people even secretly speculated that this was a counterattack by the scholar class against the eunuchs after the disaster of the party.

After all, Wang Yun's status is still low, far from reaching the level of the three bigwigs in the DPRK and China collectively dispatching, and he was imprisoned because he impeached Zhang Rang before, and it was Zhang Rang who was stumbling on him. This Zhang Rang has now become the common enemy of the vast number of scholars, and the account of the disaster of the party that has lasted for more than ten years has not yet been calculated, so he has begun to be arrogant and domineering again, bullying the scholars? It's just unbearable for uncles and aunts!

For a time, the court set off a wave of condemnation of the ten permanent servants, among which the enthusiastic Tai students were the most radical, they either wrote about the sins of dozens of permanent servants, or gathered in the Taixue to give speeches, this was the most radical and passionate collective when the party was in trouble, and it seemed to be revitalized.

Guo Fuzhong, study.

Xi Zhicai still held a cup of hot tea, took a sip gently, and said, "Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid the case is about to be closed." ”

Guo Jia on the side said: "The Chinese military officials of the dynasty, from the third duke to the Tai students, all ask for pardon for Wang Yun, looking at this momentum, even the Son of Heaven can't bear it!" ”

Guan Yu waved his fist excitedly and said: "The crowd is excited, the ten permanent servants are innocent, and Mr. Wang Zishi deserves to be acquitted and released!" ”

Guo Bin glanced at everyone, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, he was looking at the manuscripts of the three bigwigs in the court, and did not speak.

The text simply says:

"If the husband looks and listens, he will be loyal and sincere; If you are generous and virtuous, you will be righteous and strong. It is said by Xiaowen Na Feng Tangzhi that Jin mourns the crime of Wei Jiang. Allowed to be specially selected to be ordered, to punish the rebellion and Fushun, there was no month, and the state border was clarified. Fang wants to list his mediocre honors, please add a knightly reward, and if he does not serve properly, he should be wantonly killed. The responsibility is light and the punishment is heavy, and there is a loss of public expectations. The ministers waited for the prime minister, and they did not dare to sleep silently. Sincerity is listened to by Sanhuai, and the heart of loyalty is shown. ”

They are persuading the Son of Heaven to be tolerant and generous to his subordinates, Wang Yun has just exterminated the Taiping Dao, and it is when his merits should be calculated and rewarded greatly, how can he be punished for a big sin because of a little thing? Doesn't that chill the hearts of the world?

Now that the words have been said to this point, if the Son of Heaven does not let go, then he will really put the entire Shilin on his opposite side again. Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has just subsided, who is it relying on? Is it really the prestige of the Han court? Others don't know, but Liu Hong, as the Son of Heaven, still doesn't know in his heart?

The 100,000 officers and soldiers who marched to exterminate the main force of the Yellow Turbans on the north and south roads, except for the five schools of the Northern Army with a total of 20,000 standing under Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, the rest of the people were mostly temporarily recruited from the surrounding areas of Luoyang. If you really recruit soldiers from the government's household register, you can recruit 100,000 people, and you may have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, where can you quickly form combat effectiveness? The wealthy family who is not yet the capital division did their best to take out the tenants in their families, and took out the swords and armor in the treasury of the Sizhou Mansion and distributed them to everyone, so that they could quickly send troops?

Otherwise, if the power of the Yellow Turban Army spreads, I am afraid that there will be 500,000 troops or millions of troops at that time, and the imperial court will be powerless.

Therefore, Guo Bin still agrees with Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia's views, after all, although Liu Hong is the Son of Heaven, he will never act recklessly. At present, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has just subsided, and the people of the world are shocked overnight, all waiting to see how the imperial court will rest with the people and resume production.

Besides, now that the burning of Nangong has just subsided, people no longer mention anything about the mandate of heaven, it is time for the people of the whole country to unite to tide over the difficulties, and the Son of Heaven is not a fool, where would he commit public anger for a Wang Yun at such an urgent juncture?

At this time, Guo Jia said: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, even if the Son of Heaven decrees the acquittal, the prince's life is also difficult to protect!" ”

Zhang Fei glared at him and said in a rough voice, "Why? Isn't it true that the Son of Heaven speaks? ”

Guo Quan immediately drank all the tea in the cup with great coquettishness, and said with a fat face: "The prince provoked Zhang Rang, and made the Son of Heaven lose face in front of the ministers, and the Son of Heaven must have hated him to the bone." Zhang Rang is accustomed to figuring out the holy will, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not send someone to assassinate Wang Yun. ”

Speaking of this, just listening to the sound of "pop", Guan Yu actually crushed the teacup in his hand, and the resentment and injustice on his face were difficult to contain.

Guo Bin knows that Guan Yu is the most loyal and square, but in the face of today's court situation, in the face of such a heavenly son, no one can only cry out in vain, and there is nothing to be done. He was relieved at the moment and said: "Yun Chang doesn't have to worry, the prince is an upright official, and the elder of the scholar, how can I not save Fulong Villa when I see death?" ”

This is, but listening to the sound of footsteps outside the door, Guo Quan went to open the door, only to see Zhike running over sweating, and said: "The eldest son of the Yuan family and Cao Xiangye are here!" ”

Guo Bin heard this, and hurriedly greeted him, the eldest son of the Yuan family must be Yuan Shao, and the so-called Cao Xiangye must be Cao Cao, who was newly promoted to Jinan Minister.

However, before he could walk under the porch, he saw Yuan Shao and Cao Cao walking into the courtyard laughing one after the other. These two are frequent visitors to Guo's mansion, and they have a very thick relationship with Guo Bin, and they are used to coming, where do the acquaintances at the door dare to stop them? Only one person could welcome them into the house, and one person could come quickly.

Seeing Guo Bin, Yuan Shao stepped forward with a laugh, and said as he walked: "Here in Qianyang, it's really a city!" ”

Guo Bin hurriedly said: "Where is it, I know that I have suffering, why should the first brother make fun of the younger brother." ”

Yuan Shao was right, because of the reconstruction of Nangong, Guo Bin made a big news in Beijing. Now the wealthy businessmen in Beijing have sent people to keep an eye on Guo Mansion, and they are looking forward to Guo Bin making another big move, and everyone will make money together. So the words of the people are not joking.

However, Guo Bin also has his own difficulties. The wealthy families in Beijing felt that they had some face, and they all sent people to Guo's mansion to ask Guo Bin to give him a thin face. To do business is to open the door to do business, and I have never disliked buying and selling. However, now as long as there are empty engineers and technicians in Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd., they have been dispatched to the reconstruction work of Nangong, and they must concentrate on doing great things and strive to make the reconstruction of Nangong a good thing within the year, so the company really can't spare extra manpower to take over the private business.

However, many people have already registered with Yangzhai Construction Company and understand the difficulties of construction companies, but they always do not give up. They want to repair the manor as soon as possible, otherwise if Nangong repairs for three years and five years, will they also wait for three years and five years?

Therefore, they sent people to squat at the door of Guo's mansion, for fear that they would be kept in the dark if there was a disturbance. These people can't fight, they can't drive away, and they ask the porter every day, which makes Guo's mansion very annoying. At this point, Guo Bin finally tasted the retribution of being too showy.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao didn't wait for Guo Bin to greet them, came to the study, found a place to sit down, and beckoned Guo Bin to serve tea. They knew that Guo Bin's gang was the most corrupt, and in order to drink tea, they actually sent people to Shuzhong, just to traffic tea to the Central Plains. Fast horses are also arranged, and every year new good tea must be sent over by fast horses.

Guo Bin saw that the two of them seemed to be going home, rummaging through the cabinets, looking like a devil entering the village, and said with a wry smile: "Two brothers, are you here to sweep me today?" ”

Hearing Guo Bin's words, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao waved the bag of tea leaves they turned out in their hands to Guo Bin and put them in their arms. Yuan Shao said without embarrassment: "The two of us came here today, so naturally we have important matters to discuss. ”

Guo Bin turned his head and ordered someone to serve tea again, and seeing that Xi Zhicai and the others had also dispersed, Fang sat down with a wry smile and said, "Oh? I don't know why the two brothers are here? ”

Yuan Shao said with a smile: "It's still a matter of the prince's division, can Qianyang have a decision?" He came to Guo's mansion several times to let Guo Bin lend a helping hand and contribute to the rescue of Wang Yun, but Guo Bin never gave him a word.

Guo Bin said: "It is reported that the three of Elder Yang, Yuan Taifu and the general have all done their own tricks for the sake of the prince and the division, so where do they need the younger brother to come out again?" ”

Yuan Shao listened, and looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said: "Rescuing the prince division is the common wish of all the corporal in the world, such a big thing, don't tell me that you don't know the benefits." Others are trying to get involved, why don't you just refuse to give an accurate idea? ”

Guo Bin sighed and said: "The prince is upright and honest, and he is a model for my generation, and the younger brother also knows that if he can be involved in this matter, whether it is in Shilin or in the officialdom, it will be a lot of benefits." It's not that the younger brother doesn't want to contribute, it's really that the younger brother is in an embarrassing situation, if he makes a rash move, I'm afraid it will hurt the prince! ”

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao glanced at each other, nodded, and said, "What is Qianyang afraid of?" But are you afraid that the Son of Heaven will be suspicious? ”

Guo Bin nodded and said, "Exactly." I was first honored by the Son of Heaven Longen, and I was appointed as the county guard of Yingchuan in the year of the uncrowned, and I was still trembling, I was afraid that I would hurt a county because of my own mistakes, and now I have not yet taken office, where do I dare to get involved in this kind of thing? Yingchuan County originally lived near Luoyang, and the state went deep into the hinterland of Sizhou, where could the Son of Heaven not be suspicious? Besides, the two brothers have also seen the situation outside, and the younger brother really doesn't dare to show off anymore! ”

Yuan Shao had long known the concerns in Guo Bin's heart, so he had not persecuted him too much, and until this time, when things had taken a great turn for the better, he came with Cao Cao.

Hearing Guo Bin say this, he and Cao Cao looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Why don't you know your hardships?" It's just that today I am afraid that Wang Zishi will be acquitted, but my brother is afraid that Wang Zishi will be able to get out of prison at that time, and his life will not be guaranteed! ”

Guo Bin said: "Oh? News so soon? Then he exclaimed, "Could it be that Zhang Rang dared to murder Wang Zishi in prison?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "That's not it, besides, there are our own people in prison, and we will definitely be able to keep the prince safe, but after he is released from prison, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Rang will not find a few masters of the rivers and lakes to assassinate him!" ”
