Chapter 63: Deliberation and Final Decision
Who's out there?! me?!
It stands to reason that this study can also be regarded as a quiet place in Lu Bu's mansion, and the idle family and boring yellow scarves will not approach this place, so who is outside the house? Dare to die and trespass on the residence of the Son of Heaven?
But listening to the sound outside the house, it sounds familiar, could it be one of my subordinates?
Liu Xie seemed to recognize the owner of the voice,
"Someone is a master? Come into the house quickly. β
Liu Xie's teacher? The person outside the house is Chen Gong? No wonder it feels familiar. What did he do, and why did he say that I couldn't do it? How long has he been outside the house? Why eavesdrop on the conversation between the crowd and the Son of Heaven?
Zhang Yu has 100,000 whys in his heart, and there are empty questions, but there is no answer.
Outside the house, Chen Gong answered, pushed the door in, bowed his hand to meet the Son of Heaven and the two Hanchens, and whispered,
"Miyamoto wants to go back to this place to take the things that have fallen, I don't want to happen to be outside the house to hear the absurd strategy coming from the house, I think about the safety of the Son of Heaven, I have to go into the house to disturb, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, this is the study, if the gentleman wants to enter, why is there a crime? Find a place to sit down. β
Chen Gong thanked the Son of Heaven again, found an empty seat in the study, and knelt under the Son of Heaven.
The eyes of two unfamiliar people in the room met, Cai Yong was very curious about this self-appointed prince of His Majesty, and Chen Gong was also full of novelty about this strange old minister.
Zhang Yu stood in place and waited for a long time, and he finally felt the taste of being left aside.
After waiting for a while, Chen Gong was willing to speak, but what he said was not the answer Zhang Yu wanted.
"My name is Chen Gong, the word Gongtai, I am a scholar in a troubled world, I am shallow in learning, I am ashamed to be the emperor, I see Mr. Extraordinary posture, quite charming, I don't know Mr. Daming?"
After receiving Chen Gong's compliment, Cai Yong returned with courtesy,
"Mr. Dacai, teach Your Majesty, I am very grateful to the ministers, my name is Cai Yong, and the word is Bo Jiao."
Chen Gong was extremely excited, and when he heard Cai Yong's name, he hurriedly got up and worshipped him.
"It turned out to be Lord Zhonglang, the name of the public, famous all over the world, Gong Muxian for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was the luck of Gong Sansheng."
It seems that Cai Yong is really a rare person with a reputation in the world, and he is the best candidate for his plan, but why does Chen Gong say that this strategy can't work?
The conversation between the literati was full of sour smell, Lu Bu had no intention of listening to it, looking at the faint candlestick, his heart didn't know where to go, Liu Xie's heart was bright, his teacher and his courtiers could get along in harmony, and he was at ease, holding his cheeks, smiling and looking at the two people who were talking softly under him.
However, the people present seemed to have forgotten that Zhang Yu was the protagonist at this time, he was holding his breath in his heart, holding back a stomach of questions, if Chen Gong didn't turn back to the topic, he would explode.
Fortunately, Cai Yong was not old and confused, and after greeting for a while, he finally asked Chen Gong,
"I just listened to Xiao Yu's words, it is not unreasonable, Xiao Yu's strategy is still feasible, why is Mr. determined, saying that this policy is absolutely not feasible?"
Cai Yong's question was simply a clear stream in the conversation between the two, and it pulled back Lu Bu who was wandering outside the house, and Lu Bu was much more interested in this.
Similarly, it aroused Liu Xie's curiosity, and also calmed the angry heart of the young master of the Yellow Turban a little.
Zhang Yu also opened his mouth to ask Chen Gong,
"The kid doesn't understand, what's wrong with Yu's strategy? Please sir make it clear! β
Chen Gong calmed his heart and was excited to see the world's celebrities, took care of the thoughts in his heart, and thought twice before saying,
"What Xiao Yu thinks is that he wants to sit in Luoyang and summon loyal ministers, Your Majesty doesn't have to risk his life, is the palace right?"
Although there is a slight deviation, it is almost the same truth, Zhang Yu nodded yes.
Don't vote for others, wait for ministers to rely on, Zhang Yu's idea is also in line with Cai Yong's thoughts, the Son of Heaven is supreme, and the ministers support him, this is a rule since ancient times, just to let the Son of Heaven live in this yellow scarf, Cai Yong still can't accept it in his heart, it's very awkward.
I don't know why this Chen Gong can't make a decision, so I'd better listen to it and make a decision.
"Such a strategy, it seems feasible, but in fact it is dangerous, if according to the Yu policy, make Zhonglang famous, expose the residence of the Son of Heaven, with the reputation of Lord Cai, the words of the edict, the world will believe, if there are people who do not care, lead the army to attack, plunder the Son of Heaven, and make the princes, then the Han is really dead!"
"How can there be so many thieves in the world?"
It was Lu Bu who spoke, he stared at the lamp oil candle flame that was about to burn out, and asked Chen Gong nonchalantly.
At the critical moment, Lu Bu is still reliable, and it is not in vain that I have been bullied by you and your daughter for so long.
Chen Gong paused for a moment and replied,
"A certain once taught His Majesty, 'Seeing is believing, hearing is false', except for those who have seen it with the palace's own eyes, there are few loyal ministers in the world!"
Chen Gong's sense of self-danger is even more excessive than his own, Zhang Yu just said that people's hearts are unknown, and this Chen Gong directly labeled everyone as anti-thieves.
However, this Chen Gong dared to say such nonsense in front of Liu Xie, I really don't know what earth-shaking changes have taken place in Chen Gong's position in Liu Xie's heart in the past few months.
As an old minister, Han Chen, and loyal minister, where could Cai Yong hear this, and angrily reprimanded Chen Gong,
"The words of the public station are too much!"
"This is the way to survive in the palace!"
"You..!"
Cai Yong was speechless angrily, this night, he dried up all the tears that he hadn't shed in more than ten years, and he was angry that he hadn't been angry for more than ten years.
After lamenting, he only coughed up two taels of blood.
Chen Gong's way of self-preservation reminded Zhang Yu of a person, I don't know where Jia Xu, the most self-protective poisoner in the history of the Three Kingdoms, is now?
But now is not the time to think about this, and I have to refute Chen Gong for my own survival strategy.
Asked softly, innocent,
"The loyal ministers in the eyes of the gentleman, but those people outside the Tiger Prison?"
Sometimes a seemingly simple question can have an effect that even the questioner can't imagine.
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment.
When he heard Zhang Yu's innocent question, his breath was obviously a little disordered, and his expression was a little unnatural, although it was only for a moment, he was caught in Zhang Yu's eyes.
"The loyal ministers in a certain eye are only those generals in Luoyang now, as well as Lord Zhonglang, as for Cao Mengde in the Tiger Prison, although the palace has been under him, he still doesn't know his heart."
Chen Gong's tone was unprecedentedly calm, and when he talked about Cao Cao, it was like talking about passerby A, and there was no longer any fluctuation in his breath.
This Chen Palace!
Zhang Yu has already made up his mind with a conclusion.
He was a little frightened, a little suspicious, so frightened that he almost bit off his nails.
The candle flame in the room jumped lightly a few times, making its last struggle.
The oil ran out and the lamps withered, and only the moonlight was left in the house.
"Mr. Chen's words are very reasonable, but Yu is naΓ―ve, this strategy will not work!"
In the dark, everyone's expressions could not be seen clearly, maybe surprised, maybe sad, maybe relieved, maybe counting.
Darkness is the best cover and the best excuse for discreteness.
Zhang Yu's tone was still the same as usual, he also hid the fluctuations in his heart, and proposed to everyone,
"Now that the lamp oil is exhausted, what do you think if we each go back and rest, and wait until tomorrow when the light is bright?"
Another child's voice pierced the darkness,
"Just listen to Xiao Yu's words and make a decision tomorrow!"
Bidding farewell to the Son of Heaven, Chen Gong took away the clothes he left behind, Cai Yong went out of the house to find his two treasures, Lu Bu escorted the Son of Heaven to move elsewhere, and Zhang Yu left this study that implicated everything with his final decision.
