Chapter 53: Purge

"Sima Yi coughed up blood more than once yesterday, it seems that Master's orb is really very powerful." When Deng Ai spoke, there was an unnatural trace of fear in his eyes, because he had played with the bead in his hand.

Looking at Deng Ai's worried face, Yuan Yun chuckled lightly, and then said: "You don't have to worry about what consequences that bead will bring to you, but after two contacts, it should be better to bask in the sun for a while." ”

Before Yuan Yun's words fell, he saw Cao Zheng, who was sitting on the other side, and asked, "What jewel?" How come I have never heard of it? ”

Deng Ai heard Cao Chong's inquiry, so he took his eyes off his palm, and then introduced the glowing orb simply and clearly.

Looking at Cao Chong's appearance, Yuan Yun slapped him impatiently, and then said: "Curiosity is indeed a good thing, it can help Xiao Chong to constantly break through yourself, but no matter whether it is good or bad, being curious about everything will kill you sooner or later, the light emitted by that bead is a chronic poison, and it is the most vicious kind, which is nothing unusual, so if you two see something in the future, it will glow on its own, remember to dispose of it quickly." ”

Deng Ai naturally nodded his head and agreed, but Cao Chong muttered a few words, and finally agreed, but no one can say how he would deal with this kind of thing if he really encountered it.

Yuan Yun didn't have time to pay attention to idle matters, so he continued to ask Cao Chong: "How many aristocratic families were confiscated last month?" ”

This topic together, Cao Chong suddenly shuddered, because there were too many, after Cao Ang accepted Liu Xie's Zen position, he began the Great Purge, in just three months, dozens of families have been destroyed, and the number of exiles once reached 10,000, almost catching up with the population moved from Yecheng.

Looking at Cao Chong's reaction, Yuan Yun probably guessed the number, the current Cao Ang is extremely ruthless, almost none of the people who opposed him to claim the emperor can be saved, not only that, but even the people around them were also questioned, and very quickly, these were almost carried out at the same time as Cao Ang ascended the throne and became the emperor.

Although Yuan Yun didn't care about those aristocratic old officials who didn't die, he also knew very well that this world was not an absolute imperial dictatorship, but was divided by countless families, and these people mastered the most advantageous resources of the empire, whether it was human or material resources, so if these people really united, then it was not impossible to change the dynasty again.

"Big brother can't continue like this, brother-in-law, do you want to find a time to advise?" Cao Chong added again.

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and did not make any answer, because what Cao Ang did at this time cannot be said to be wrong, but should be said to be very correct, this time is to suppress a group of people, and then establish a new force, and this group of forces is naturally the future Cao Ang's team, and it can also clearly and thoroughly establish Cao Ang's majesty as an emperor through this time, so it is simply something that cannot be stopped.

Seeing that Yuan Yun didn't answer, Cao Chong sighed deeply and continued: "Big brother is clear, it's just that the others are just that, now the scale has extended to our Luoyang, Mr. Xun Yu's eldest son Xun Yun was imprisoned yesterday, because Mr. Xun Yu had opposed my father to be the king before, and now it is the queen of the autumn to settle accounts." ”

When Yuan Yun heard this, his brows finally wrinkled tightly, Cao Ang just dealt with others, but now even Xun Yun is guilty, this is a little undeserved, after all, Xun Yun has made a lot of contributions to Luoyang over the years, and he is still the backbone of Luoyang, so easily sending him to prison is definitely not a good start.

After thinking about this, Yuan Yun finally stood up slowly, then looked at the sky outside the window and said, "It's just past noon, it shouldn't be too late to go out for a walk." ”

Cao Chong immediately became interested when he heard this, quickly sat up straight, and then said with a smile: "I am walking with my brother-in-law, so I have to talk to my eldest brother today." ”

Yuan Yun sighed slightly, and said: "Xiao Chong's title should be changed, and in the future, I can only use the son of the Son of Heaven, not the eldest brother." ”

Where does Cao Chong care about so much, he nodded and agreed, and then looked at Deng Ai and said, "Xiao Ai, do you want to enter the palace with us, that place is very open, and it is gorgeous, it can definitely open your eyes." ”

Deng Ai shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said, "No, I will go to see Master Yiyi in a while, saying that I have prepared another room for family affairs, alas." ”

In Deng Ai's countless sighs, Yuan Yun took Cao Chong to the frame, and it was already late autumn at the moment, so the pedestrians on the street were also dressed very thickly, and seeing that the people were not worried about food and clothing, Yuan Yun was in a slightly good mood.

"I didn't have anyone here to tell Xun Yun about being imprisoned, where did Xiao Chong know about it?" Yuan Yun saw that the frame was already stable, so he asked in the carriage.

Cao Chong smiled awkwardly, and then replied, "Big brother...... Well, Your Majesty won't let me tell you, if it wasn't for the urgency just now, I wouldn't have said it, because everyone knows that my brother-in-law is good friends with Xun Yun of the Xun family, and if you know about this matter, you will definitely not let it go. ”

Yuan Yun heard Cao Chong say this, and his heart was steady, since Cao Ang cared so much about his Yuan Yun's feelings, it proved that there are still a lot of favors to talk about, and in this case, it is also much more convenient to fish for people later.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun immediately said to Xiao Liu, who was driving the car: "Go to Luoyang Prison, let's go to see Xun Yun." ”

When Cao Chong heard the word prison, he immediately exclaimed: "Xun Yun is one of the people who are liquidated, so it is a serious crime, if my brother-in-law goes to meet like this, will he let the eldest brother ...... Uh, to make His Majesty unhappy? ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth raised slightly, and he replied lightly: "I just want Your Majesty to know that I went to see Xun Yun, otherwise I really don't know what to do later." ”

Cao Chong looked puzzled, and immediately asked: "Why is this, Xun Yun's imprisonment was a document personally signed by His Majesty, and I was also present at the time, so my brother-in-law should go to His Majesty's side first, instead of going directly to see Xun Yun." ”

Yuan Yun smiled, and then slapped Cao Chong on the back of the head, then he sighed and said, "I have been tossed by your Cao family for a lifetime, when can you stop a little?" ”

After Yuan Yun finished saying this, he stopped talking, but gradually drove to the prison in Luoyang with the frame, and this prison is on the edge of the palace, and it is also the only prison in Luoyang that holds prisoners, the main reason why there is no second one is that the laws and regulations made by Luoyang before are very reasonable, and the people of Luoyang are also very compliant, so there is no need to build a second one.

When the warden heard Yuan Yun's name, the whole person was stunned, and even his hands trembled a little, and when he hurried to the gate of the prison, he had already seen Yuan Yun and Cao Chong get off the frame.

At this time, the warden could hardly think, but when he heard Yuan Yun's instructions to meet the imprisoned Xun Yun, he immediately began to lead the way, but he didn't dare to say a word in his mouth, and when he saw the mess in the prison, he scolded in his heart and didn't clean up the place earlier.

Soon Yuan Yun saw Xun Yun who was locked behind the iron fence, Xun Yun was sitting on the ground at this moment, although he was covered with hairy grass, he still looked extraordinary.

After seeing Yuan Yun, Xun Yun was surprised at first, then laughed in an instant, and then said through the fence: "Since Yuan Hou has come to see me, it seems that I, Xun Yun, have been saved." ”

When Cao Chong heard this, he immediately interrupted: "Brother Changqian, don't be happy too early, my brother-in-law came to see you first before seeing His Majesty, this is definitely not a good thing." ”

Xun Yun smiled even more happily when he heard this, nodded his head and said: "This is more secure, Yuan Hou has a very thoughtful grasp of His Majesty's intentions." ”

When Cao Chong heard Xun Yun say this, his face became even more puzzled, and he hurriedly asked: "Why do Brother Changqian and brother-in-law speak ordinary words, aren't you really worried that your brother-in-law is overstepping by doing this?" ”

Xun Yun smiled and said: "When Your Majesty imprisoned me Xun Yun, he once instructed not to tell Yuan Hou, this is thinking about the old feelings, since Your Majesty is thinking about the old feelings, what else do I Xun Yun have to worry about, Yuan Hou is now coming to see me in person, and Your Majesty will soon know about this, and Yuan Hou is actually telling Your Majesty to be kind to Luoyang heroes like me, ha." ”

Seeing Xun Yun laughing louder and louder, Yuan Yun couldn't help frowning, and said unhappily: "Don't stinky fart, if someone tells Your Majesty about your arrogant behavior, you Xun Changqian will still be locked up here." ”

Xun Yun restrained his smile a little when he heard this, and continued to nod and said, "Meng Lang, hehe, Meng Lang, since Yuan Hou is here, I have something to tell." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Let's listen to it and see what is the big thing." ”

Xun Yun didn't talk nonsense, just said lightly: "In this big purge, none of the Sima clan's children were damaged, doesn't Yuan Hou feel strange?" When it comes to those who opposed His Majesty back then, where did the Xun family have Sima Yi who came violently. ”

When Yuan Yun heard this, he sighed and said, "Brother Changqian, is it that I didn't target the Sima clan?" ”

Xun Yun shook his head and said: "I'm not the one who fanned the flames, I'm just warning Yuan Hou that Sima Yi is definitely prepared to deal with Yuan Hou you, so Yuan Hou must not be careful, this time not only our Xun family was implicated, but I heard that Mr. Xu You's family was also affected, which is even more strange, it stands to reason that Mr. Xu You was the first to follow His Majesty, and it was not his turn to be an old man." ”

Yuan Yun was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where did Brother Changqian know about this?" ”

Xun Yun replied: "My father used to be an important minister in the DPRK after all, so naturally there are many sources, I just received the news, not only Mr. Xu You's family, but even the Wei family is also involved, and Wei Qi himself is probably in a catastrophe." ”

Yuan Yun was very unhappy when he heard Xu You's name, and after hearing Wei Qi's name, he felt that Cao Ang had gone crazy, and it had reached an inexplicable point to arrest people and send them to prison like this, and there must be Sima Yi's instigation in the middle, but he didn't want Sima Yi to be able to influence Cao Ang so much now.

With a wry smile, Yuan Yun bowed to Xun Yun and said, "I'm afraid Brother Changqian will have to stay here for one night, and I still have to go to see Your Majesty, so I will leave first." ”
