Chapter 442: It's That Simple

Liu He is a relative of the emperor, and in terms of generation, he is the elder of Liu Bian, the son of heaven in Chang'an, and is called the emperor's uncle. \\、qВ5、cOM/

When the imperial power is strong, this title alone is enough to scare individuals to death. But now that the Han family is weak, let alone the emperor's uncle, even if you are the Son of Heaven, if you don't have military power and strength in your hands, who will look up to you? Amazing on the surface, respect.

Liu He is not the Son of Heaven, and he does not have half of the real power in his hands.

Even the title of his imperial uncle was given by others. Sometimes, however, some people never recognize their situation.

Liu He is exactly such a person!

In fact, it's not just Liu He. When Liu Ben ascended the throne in Chang'an, many clans that had lost their roots felt that the Han dynasty would rise again. Of course, how to rise? Not something they should be thinking about...... They only care about what rights they will get.

Pity...... When the ruined clans arrived in Chang'an, they found that they could not get anything.

Except for an empty title, they were not even as good as an ordinary official in Chang'an City. This is naturally very uncomfortable in my heart.

In particular, Dong is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and the people in Chang'an City only know Dong's troll order, but no one knows what the holy decree is.

In the eyes of the clan, this is absolutely intolerable. So one by one, the vicious thoughts against Dong finally turned into practical actions.

"Liu Xian is the order of Chang'an, you have no evidence, why did you arrest him? Min Gong is over forty years old. With a smile on his face, he shouted at Liu He and the others, as if he had never heard them.

He once served as Henan Yin, and was later dismissed from his official position by Dong Zhuo because of his heart for Liu Bian. As a small official of the Hongnong Palace, he followed Liu Bian, and has been the court lieutenant to this day. It is also for this reason that Liu Bian attaches great importance to Min Gong and is appointed as the court lieutenant in charge of the criminal law.

"Uncle Huang. The lower officials are not unfounded. Rather, it was a secret report...... Liu Xian fornicated with the rebels and was suspected of plotting rebellion. Xia Guan did find the letterhead exchanged between him and Liu Jingsheng in Lord Liu's study, which did not contain any rebellious remarks. As for whether it is as Uncle Huang said, Lord Liu was framed, and the lower officials have not yet grasped the evidence. But before that, Lord Liu was afraid that he would have to be wronged for the time being. ”

Min Gong's rhetoric is quite methodical. Neither humble nor arrogant.

Although Liu He was angry, he had no choice, so he sat on the side angrily, staring at Min Gong for a long time and couldn't speak.

Min Gong continued: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, if Lord Liu is wronged, the lower officials will definitely return his innocence." But if it does......"

"In that case, why don't you let his family go first?"

Liu He retreated and asked for a second way.

Min Gong shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work...... Before Liu Xian is cleared of suspicion, his family will be taken care of by the inspectorate. ”

Liu He's cheeks twitched a few times, and he wanted to say something more, but the words came to his lips. But don't know what to say? At this moment, I heard someone outside the hall shouting: "The governor has arrived!" ”

Liu He knew that Dong Yi came. Don't even want to rescue Liu Xian. He stood up angrily and walked out with a group of clan members.

Seeing Dong's burly figure head-on, Liu He couldn't help but take a sip and ignored Dong.

The rude move, Dong naturally saw it clearly.

For Liu He. He doesn't need to give any good faces. After all. This hot face sticks to a cold ass, and now Dong disdains to do it.

I walked into the inner hall. Min Gong greeted him at the door.

After the two sat down, they didn't say anything to each other. In fact, with the friendship between Dong and Min Gong, there is no need to engage in any hypocritical greetings.

"Lord Min, what does Dong mean by coming today......"

"Xia Guan understands!" Min Gong said: "The Governor of the Metropolitan must have also come to inquire about Liu Xian's matter. That's the case, two days ago, I received a secret report, saying that Liu Xian and Liu Biao were secretly colluding, and it seemed that there was a move that was unfavorable to Chang'an. After receiving the secret report, Xia Guan immediately took control of Liu Xian's mansion. Today, more than ten letters were found in Liu Xian's study, which have been reported to the Chengming Palace. ”

"Oh?"

Before Dong came, he had already understood the reason for the incident.

But hearing Min Gong say this, he couldn't help but be a little strange: "Lord Min, in your opinion, does Liu Xian really have the crime of rebellion?" ”

Min Gong groaned and waved his hand to let the servants who were waiting in the inner hall go out.

"My lord, this is a strange matter. The reason why Xia Guan learned this news came from two whistleblowing letters...... Judging from the letterhead found in Liu Xian's study, it was from Liu Jingsheng's hand. But Xia Guan thought that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Xian, and he was afraid that it had nothing to do with it. ”

As he spoke, he took out two letters from the desk and handed them to Dong.

The handwriting is blurry, and I can't see what it is. But one thing is certain: the person who wrote this letter was no ordinary scholar.

As the saying goes: words are faces.

In the Han Dynasty, there were not many literate people, and even fewer people could write well. Although the person who wrote the letter was deliberately hidden, the temperament hidden in the strokes is enough to show that this person's skills are not bad.

"Then where is Liu Xian now?"

"Imprisoned in a prison, guarded by a special person. His family members were implicated, and the lower officials were worried that they would be harmed, so after arresting Liu Xian, they ordered his family to be transferred to Duyoubao. On the one hand, it is for isolation, and on the other hand, it is also for protection. ”

"Fort Dumail?"

Dong asked, "Did Du Postbao send someone to receive it?" ”

Min Gong shook his head, "No, it was sent by the lower officials, and Du Youbao did not issue any instructions to accept prisoners. ”

Isn't it the work of the military advisor?

Dong scratched his head, very confused.

Liu Xian was arrested at this time, which is too much of a coincidence. If he is said to be rebellious...... Ha, I'm afraid not many people will believe it.

After talking to Min Gong for a while. Dong resigned and left.

When I returned home, as soon as I sat down, a family member came to report: "Master, Yang Qian, who is often servant, asked to see the master outside the mansion, saying that the emperor invited him." ”

It's really busy!

Dong originally wanted to be busy for a day, but he didn't expect to be getting busier and busier.

Hurriedly said: "Please be gentle!" ”

Soon. Yang Qian entered the study. He gave a salute to Dong and said respectfully: "Governor Dadu, the emperor said that he asked the Governor of Dadu to go to Bailiangtai to talk about it." ”

It's Bailiang Terrace again!

Dong is actually quite tired of that place, but since Liu Bian sent someone to invite him, he naturally couldn't refuse.

changed his clothes at the moment and left the Dadu Governor's Mansion with Yang Qian. On the way to Weiyang Palace. Dong asked tentatively: "Duke Qian, do you know that the emperor asked me to go, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yang Qian smiled, "Don't worry...... The emperor just felt that he would communicate less with the metropolitan governor, so he asked the metropolitan governor to go and talk about it. ”

Communication?

Dong couldn't tell what Liu Wei meant.

But one thing he already knew was that Liu Fan didn't seem to have any ideas. The twists and turns of the sealing of the country that day have nothing to do with Liu Bian. Because after that day, for more than 20 days, Liu Bian did not raise the matter of sealing the country again. Even if a clan raised it in the early dynasty, he vaguely diverted the topic, obviously not having the slightest interest in this matter. Other words. The so-called feudal country is likely to be the idea of the clan.

However, this conjecture is a conjecture after all, and Dong can't figure out what Liu Bian's mind is thinking.

Maybe today's meeting has something to do with this......

Unconsciously. Dong followed Yang Qian. has come to the outside of Bailiang Terrace.

Just when Dong entered the Weiyang Palace, he was in a cell in Du Youbao. Two teenagers were sitting facing each other.

One is Dong Ji.

The other is slightly younger than Dong Ji, looks a little thin, has big eyes, and his eyes are bright, revealing a hint of deceit.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but there was a disdainful expression on his face.

"The eldest prince turned out to be only these means? Framing is nothing but the act of a villain. ”

Dong Ji's face was calm and looked at the young man. The young man's words were full of sarcasm, but Dong Ji didn't seem to hear it.

"Zhou Budo, in your opinion, what should I do?"

The young man was Liu Xian's nephew Zhou Budo, hearing Dong Ji's question, he sneered and said: "What should you do, it's your business, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Dong Ji smiled: "Why is it not related? This is not only about your life, but also about the name of your uncle Liu Xian...... You say, if those wine bags and rice bags knew that Lord Liu Xianliu, who was known for his uprightness and loyalty, actually had an anti-thief brother-in-law, what would be the result? Zhou Budo, father Zhou Chao, mother Liu Ai...... In the fourth year of Zhongping, the Zhou Dynasty rebelled with the Changsha people, and Liu Ai was pregnant with Liujia, so he was sent to Lingling's brother Liu Xian. In the fifth year of Zhongping, Zhou Budo was born in Lingling...... Tsk, it's complicated. ”

Zhou Budo couldn't help but tremble, looked at Dong Ji in shock, and was speechless for a long time.

"You have lived in Xiangyang with your uncle since you were a child, and you have studied under many people...... Uncle Ling once asked you to read, but you said: Learning is innate, what is the use of reading...... Tsk, that's arrogant. But you do have arrogant capital, when Jian'an was three years old, he was only eleven years old, that is, he was Ping Wu Jiufan, which was different from many people...... But he didn't want to be called a child's graffiti by Liu Biao, which made his uncle frustrated. ”

Zhou Budo didn't say anything, just gritted his teeth.

Dong Ji took out another piece of official paper, "Tut, Taiping arrived in Chang'an with his uncle in the first year, and he ordered his younger brother to seal it...... Oh, no, it should be Liu Feng who said that the Han family will decline, and it should be taken from chaos. If he takes the world one day, he will win a hundred times the mediocrity. Who is this mediocre talent? After entering Chang'an, he asked Liu Xian to present a rubbing of the "Forty-two Chapters of the Classic", saying: If my uncle takes this as a gift for his audience, he will definitely be able to win the emperor's favor. ”

Zhou Budo felt that his body was cold.

He prides himself on being intelligent, but he doesn't want to do it as if he were being seen. That feeling of being naked is extremely uncomfortable.

Dong Ji then said: "Liu first got the order of Chang'an, you first offered three strategies, step by step, and in less than five years, you can control Chang'an." First, the Xingwei Army, in order to divide the military affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and reduce my father's control over Chang'an; Second, I put my father in the tuyere, rose and descended, and drove him out of Chang'an...... Well, this third article is very interesting, I believe that if the emperor sees it, he will be very angry. ”

After speaking, Dong Ji put away the official document.

"Zhou Budo, you are indeed very smart, ring after ring, hiding murderous intentions. But you have forgotten one thing, if you don't have an executor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to implement the various plans you have designed...... You say I'm poor in donkey skills, but I'm wrong. My father is in charge of Chang'an, and I know that as long as you are eliminated, no matter how wonderful the plan is, it will eventually be a cake. I'm not interested in playing games with you, and if you can solve it in the easiest way, I won't bother myself...... It's a pity that because of your intelligence, you have affected your family, pity your uncle who raised you, and pity your mother who just came to Chang'an, because of your intelligence, you can't survive! ”

Dong Ji said it lightly, but Zhou Budo's forehead was oozing cold sweat.

He raised his head, looked at Dong Ji, and said softly, "What do you want?" ”

"Hehe, I'm just a child, what can I do? It's just that people are dealing with my parents and children, and I always have to do some filial piety. Zhou Budo, the life and death of your family is only in your thoughts, you are a smart person, you should understand what I mean. ”

After speaking, Dong Ji walked outside the cell.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and smiled: "To deal with complex things, you can solve them in the simplest way, as long as you have that strength...... This is a hint given to me by a teacher. Don't think you're smart, but in fact, in Chang'an, you're nothing. It's a good thing to be ambitious, but you also have to look at your own strength. How about you have a day to think about it? ”

The iron door slammed shut, but Zhou Budo collapsed on the couch like a deflated ball, ...... for a long time Motionless.
