Chapter 35
Guo Jia's meaning, Gao Ye felt that he had understood it very thoroughly. As Jia Xu said, stability is the top priority at this moment, and after Cao Cao and Cao Ang fell into a coma one after another, there must be a person with prestige to preside over the overall situation. In today's hall, except for Xun Yu, there are only high nights for people like this. Since welcoming the Han Emperor, Xun Yu has been serving as Shang Shuling, and in all major wars, Xun Yu has sat in Yingdu to ensure the safety of the rear. In terms of prestige and ability, it is easy for Xun Yu to calm down the current chaos. And the most important thing is that if this person who turned the tide was Xun Yu, Cao Cao would definitely not have any other thoughts about him.
But now that Jia Xu is persuading each other in the front, Guo Jia hinted in the back, if Gao Ye doesn't understand what these two people have in their hearts, then it will really be in vain for thirty years in this troubled world. Don't look at this riot, Dong Cheng and others have been planning for so long, and the noise is so big, but to be honest, it is not difficult to calm down. Cao Cao has always been wary of Liu Xie, and all the elite soldiers are under the control of his henchmen under Cao Cao. Why did the Changshui Battalion and the Yueqi Battalion want to subvert Cao Cao's rule, it is simply impossible. In such a situation, pacification is no longer a problem, the question is how to calm down and what kind of appearance it should become.
Gao Ye didn't expect it when Jia Xu first opened his mouth, and it wasn't until Guo Jia said the words "Wenruo is soft" that Gao Ye understood that Guo Jia and Jia Xu had the same idea, that is, to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of this chaos to get rid of Dong Cheng and other unstable factors at once. At the time of the Battle of Guandu, these people were Cao Cao's troubles, but everyone was in the same palace, and many of them were famous and noble, even if Cao Cao wanted to get rid of them, he had to consider the consequences of doing so. In history, Cao Cao killed the famous scholar Bian Rang, and let the Yanzhou family rebel; Huang Zu killed the famous scholar You Heng, and was immediately spurned by the entire Jingzhou. In this era, the name of a celebrity is a person's talisman, no matter how big your official is, you don't dare to move it.
But now Yingdu is all in chaos, some are in chaos, and some are suffering. At this time, it is definitely the best time to fish in troubled waters and get rid of all these opposition factions that they usually want to move but dare not move. With Jia Xu's viciousness and Guo Jia's ruthlessness, it is not a strange thing that an agreement will be reached. As for why Xun Yu was not allowed to do this, as Guo Jia said, Xun Yu's heart was too soft.
If Xun Yu is allowed to deal with this matter, Gao Ye believes that Xun Yu will at most order an immediate suppression of the rebellion, and then arrest Dong Cheng and other culprits and wait for Cao Cao to deal with them. This kind of treatment has the least impact on Yingdu, on the officials, and on the people. You want Xun Yu to send people to kill those who have been making small moves, but have never openly opposed Cao Cao, it is absolutely impossible to use Xun Yu's character!
Jia Xu knows Xun Yu very well, so Jia Xu will never hope for such a thing on Xun Yu. Although he has always been a wise person to protect himself, when it is time to make a choice, he will never abstain from voting. Sometimes it's not scary to stand in line, but it's scary not to stand in line. In contrast, Jia Xu proposed to let Gao Ye take charge of the overall situation.
Guo Jia's words completely woke up Gao Ye, and even shocked Gao Ye back from the sadness and anger after escaping from death. Worrying about the Gong Gao Zhen Lord has now become a piece of Gao Ye's heart, and it has almost become an instinctive reaction to see if doing something will jeopardize the pitiful trust between himself and Cao Cao. But now that reason has reoccupied Gao Ye's brain, the pros and cons are just a few breaths, and Gao Ye has already thought clearly. Guo Jia is right, he should really take responsibility for this matter!
What he was most worried about was that when Cao Cao woke up, he found that he could actually order so many people under him, or that after he Cao Cao fell, everyone supported Gao Ye instead of his son. What could be more terrible than being a monarch? If Cao Cao knew what the Chenqiao Mutiny was, Gao Ye believed that as long as he didn't die, Cao Cao wouldn't even want to sleep for a day in the future.
But now it is such a good opportunity, a chance to get rid of almost all of Liu Xie's wings, Tianyu does not take the truth but suffers from it, Gao Ye still understands. What's more, getting rid of these people, and Liu Xie lost the capital to do things, which can make him more peaceful as a puppet emperor; For Cao Cao, without the constraints of these people, no matter where the expedition is, it will be smoother and more reassuring.
As far as Gao Ye is concerned, the biggest obstacle to the reform he wants to carry out is none other than these big families, nothing more than these vested interests, and nothing more than these people who oppose him from the standpoint. It is inevitable that any kind of reform will hurt the interests of a certain group, and as long as it benefits the majority of people, it is a successful reform. At this point, Gao Ye's experience and experience are richer and more profound than those of this era. After all, Gao Ye once lived in an era of reform.
Now, taking advantage of this chaos, it is not difficult to first eliminate some of those who oppose them from the standpoint. With this mess as an excuse, things that were difficult to do in the past will become much easier. Most of these people are famous families, and their families have a big business, and as soon as they disappear, how many families will compete for these vacated interests. When they grabbed their heads and broke their blood, they quietly carried out their own reforms, and when they slapped the dirt off their bodies, they were powerless in the face of the general trend of reform.
The best thing is that if you are in charge of tonight's actions, then whatever happens tonight will eventually be blamed on yourself. I have already carried a name for being lustful like life, and it is not difficult to carry a reputation for murder. With these two names in hand, I think it will be safer for me. Only a faint monarch like Ji Xuan would be murderous, who would want such a person to sit on the throne?
It's just that when I think of this, Gao Ye's expression is gloomy, this kind of feeling of being under the fence and being precarious, even if it is uncomfortable, I can only accept it helplessly. There is no way, who let his master repeatedly tell him not to covet that position before he died, and his prediction of Guo Jia was so accurate that he really couldn't help but consider the seriousness of the words he said to himself. Whoever makes Cao Cao now have a general trend, even if he is a rebel, not only is it meaningless, but also infamy. If I had done it alone, I wouldn't have to suffer from this nest today.
It's a pity that there are no ifs, it's too late to say anything now. When I was a fledgling, I held the ideal of eternity. By now, I'm afraid that the stench of 10,000 years can be expected.
These thoughts were just a flash in Gao Ye's mind, and the gloomy mood didn't even stay in Gao Ye's mind for a second, and was replaced by the word calm. Gao Ye removed his gaze from Guo Jia's face, glanced at the people in the lobby, and said slowly, "Do you all think so?" ”
Everyone who saw it nodded yes, and Gao Ye also sighed slowly to calm down his mood. Although there are not many people in the lobby today, the weight of each person is extremely heavy. Cao Cao's henchmen and advisers came to Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Jia Xu, and the brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong, who were very influential among the generals of the Cao clan, were also there. Others, such as Dian Wei, Yu Ban, Gao Shun and others, are naturally undoubtedly in this situation. Their unanimous statement has basically confirmed the fact that Gao Ye is now in command of the overall situation, and Gao Ye does not have to worry about who will reject his order. As for Xu Chu, he is now guarding the entire Sikong Mansion with men and horses, and he himself is guarding Cao Cao's side, who asked his Tiger Guards to be on duty tonight.
Gao Ye's sigh may be a bit long, after all, Gao Ye's move is more to calm his angry heart. It's just that Cao Hong on the side has long been unable to hold back his killing intent, and also, he has had a good relationship with Cao Cao since he was a child, and now that Cao Cao has been plotted, it is strange that he is not angry in his heart. Seeing that Gao Ye still didn't speak, he hurriedly said, "Situ, you just give the order, otherwise Yingdu will be burned out!" ”
Gao Ye opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Cao Hong and nodded: "Don't worry, the sun is rising, Yingdu is still that Yingdu!" In that case, then I will do more than I can. After that, he looked at Xun Yu on the side and said, "Wen Ruo, how many people do we have in Yingdu City now?" ”
"It's the Chinese New Year, and there aren't many guards. Now, in addition to the 2,000 men under the command of Captain Yu, only 500 people under the command of Zhijinwu are on duty tonight. Situ also brought a lot of people here, as well as the Tiger Ben and the Tiger Guard Second Army under the command of the lord, and the generals' guards and private armies, which should be five thousand. ”
Gao Ye nodded, and then said to Yu Banyan on the side: "Ying has ten city gates, two thousand people and horses are scattered, and each gate is only two hundred people, there are more than enough guards, but there is not enough progress. Wen Ze, you immediately order all gates, strictly guard, tonight in Yingdu City, don't let go of a person! As for the men and horses outside the city, they are not allowed to enter the city without an order! ”
Yu Banyan hurriedly surrendered his promise and left in a hurry. Gao Ye immediately looked at Jia Xu on the side and said: "Although Wen He is the ruling Jinwu, but there is a rebellion in the city, there is no need for Wen and you to go, it is just a group of rabble." Captain! As he spoke, Gao Ye looked at Dian Wei who was standing on the other side and said, "You take the tiger camp and immediately quell the rebellion in the city." Zixiao, Zilian, you two go together. Then he said to Xun Yu: "Extraordinary times, extraordinary means." Wen Ruo quickly sent someone to inform the two generals Yuan Rang and Miaocai, so that the two of them could quickly gather men and horses to put out the rebellion and extinguish the fire nearby. Let Wen Jue, Gongming and other generals gather their personal guards, follow Yuan Rang, Miaocai and the soldiers and horses of the captain, and arrest all the people outside the city, and wait for the incident to subside, and then make a screening. If there is resistance, kill him! Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Dian Wei immediately responded and left. Xun Yu also nodded, and then got up and left.
It's just that no one saw it, looking at Gao Ye at Xun Yu's back, he let out a long breath.
