Chapter 241: Reaping the Consequences
"Take this belt back to Xuzhou to give it to the lord? Or did Uncle Dong Guo ask him to do this? β
Confused, he took the belt held by the young Ah Yi's hands, and when Yang Changshi looked down again, he found that the workmanship of this belt was quite good, the back was lined with purple brocade, the sewing was neat, and the front was made of silk and satin. However, no matter how exquisite it is, such a belt is not very strange and rare, so Yang Changshi is inevitably even more puzzled and asked, "What does Uncle Dong mean by this?" Thousands of miles away, he also turned a hand left and a hand right, just to give this belt to the master Tao envoy who is the teacher? β
After saying this, Yang Changshi added another sentence in his stomach, "If you want to send it, you should send more gold, silver and jewelry, and Lord Ben can take the opportunity to embezzle and deduct from it." β
"There are reasons for that, of course." The young man Ah Yi replied respectfully, pointed to a certain place on the back of the belt, and whispered: "Teacher, please see, when this Uncle Dong Guo was watching the belt under the lamp, the light fell and accidentally burned the small hole. β
When Yang Changshi looked carefully, he found that there was indeed a small hole burned by Mars in the place of Ah Yi's finger, and there was a slight silk in the hole, and there were dark red blood stains on the silk, Yang Changshi couldn't help but wonder even more, and asked, "What is inside?" β
"Of course it's the secret edict of the Son of Heaven!" Ah Yi replied in a low voice: "Cao thief seized power, deceived the king, connected the party army, was good at prestige, monopolized power, corrupted the dynasty, the Son of Heaven hated the thief to the bone, so the blood wrote this edict in the belt, and gave this belt to Uncle Dong Cheng, so that Uncle Dong entangled 2,000 loyal and righteous people to eradicate Cao thief and annihilate the party!" β
"Blood, blood edict?!" Yang Changshi's face changed slightly.
"Exactly." Ah Yi nodded, and introduced in a low voice: "In addition to the blood edict in the belt, there is also a joint writ, not only the signature of Uncle Dong Guo on the righteous writ, but also the title and painting of the book of the four court ministers and Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, vowing to cut off the annihilation of the party and support the society together, Uncle Dong Guo and Ma Teng and their generals agreed that there should also be Tao Envoy's signature on this moral writ, and the big thing can be successful!" β
"It's a good thing, if you sell it to Cao Thief, you will definitely be able to sell a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, right?!"
Yang Changshi was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, Yang Changshi dispelled this idea again - not to mention that he had offended Boss Cao to death many times before, even if Boss Cao gave a heavy reward regardless of his previous suspicions, his reputation would change from smelly all over Xuzhou and Huainan to all over the world, so Yang Changshi could only ask pretendedly: "Ah Yi, you didn't sign this moral statement?" β
"Students do not hold official positions and are not qualified to sign the writ." Ah Yi lowered his head and replied, his voice was also a little empty, and then Ah Yi quickly changed the topic and said, "Teacher, I think you also understand, how much significance is this blood edict?" In the whole world, no matter who takes this blood edict to raise troops to fight thieves, the army is justified, the division is famous, and even the princes of the world can be called on to send troops together, and form alliances with the party, so that the wisdom and wisdom of the Tao envoy will surely obtain countless political benefits, and the teacher will bring this edict back to Xuzhou to present it to the Tao envoy, and the Tao envoy will be very happy, and will inevitably reward the teacher. β
"Then what if I offer this blood edict to the original duke? Won't the Primordial Guild give me more rewards? β
Poor Uncle Dong Guo and his party are obviously entrusted to others, our Yang Changshi took the edict and hid it in his arms, but he had such an idea in his heart, and poor Ah Yi of course couldn't know what the idea was in the teacher's stomach, but he said quickly: "Teacher, there is one more thing, the full favor of the puppet came to Jizhou this time to seek peace, but in fact, he came to form an alliance with Yuan Tan secretly, ready to support Yuan Tan to be crowned as a concubine, and do everything in his power to help Yuan Tan regain military power, and then intensify the sharp contradictions between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's brothers, split Yuan Shao internally, and let Cao thief sit and reap the benefits. β
"Oh, so what are they going to do?" Yang Changshi asked.
Yuan Tan made two preparations. Ah Yi introduced in a low voice: "First, heal the injury as soon as possible, ask Yuan Shao to go to the account of the general Lu Yi to make meritorious contributions, and take the opportunity to contact Lu Yi, Jiang Qi and other Jizhou generals who have been in close contact with Yuan Shang for a long time, and encircle them to make them Yuan Tan's party aid. The second is to instigate Yuan Shao to personally conquer Yijing, so as to win Yuan Shao's favor, and take the opportunity to ask his father to go out to atone for his sins, and take the opportunity to regain military power. β
"Instigating Yuan Shao to conquer Yijing in person? Yuan Tan plans to do the same? Who gave Yuan Tan this idea? Yang Changshi asked in surprise.
"It was the student who came up with the idea." Ah Yi was both a little shy and a little proud, and explained: "Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan have been enemies for many years, and they hate each other deeply. β
"They still applaud?" Yang Changshi was even more dumbfounded.
Ah Yi nodded, and said quite embarrassedly: "Guo Tu Pifu also praised the students for this plan can kill three birds with one stone, Guo Tu and Xin Ping These puppets have concluded that with Yuan Shang's greed and stupidity, he must also covet Yi Jing's immortal feats, and will definitely try his best to fight for the right to lead the troops, and now since Yuan Tan can't compete with Yuan Shang, it is better to give this great achievement to Yuan Shao, which can not only please Yuan Shao and get the opportunity to regain military power, but also let Yuan Shang leave an impression of selfishness and unfilial piety in front of Yuan Shao." β
"Who taught you these crooked ways to figure out your intentions?" Yang Changshi asked angrily.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Seeing that the teacher suddenly became angry, Ah Yi was inevitably a little surprised, and asked suspiciously: "Teacher, figure out this method, is it you who taught the students?" When I was in Master Hu's thatched house, you once told your students that if you want to get ahead in officialdom, the best way is to figure out your intentions, understand the Lord's temper and mood, know what the Lord likes, what you hate, what you want to do, and do things to get twice the result with half the effort, and you can please the Lord when you speak............ β
"Doing it to yourself, lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot." Yang Changshi wailed, "Ah Yi, you have ruined the big matter of being a teacher this time, and the teacher also came up with this idea in front of Yuan Shang, so that Yuan Shang also came forward to persuade Ben Chu Gong's relatives to conquer Yijing!" β
"The teacher and the student have also thought of one?" Ah Yi was also a little dumbfounded, but after thinking about it, Ah Yi immediately said: "Teacher, it's okay, you also said that if you are destined to please the lord, you must rush to say it first, the difference between saying first and saying it later is very big, Yuan Tan Pifu's injury has not yet healed, in order to fight for the opportunity to go out with his father to regain control of the army, he did not dare to instigate Yuan Shao to conquer Yijing in a short time, and after the teacher returned, he could persuade Yuan Shang to come forward in advance to say such a thing, and the jackpot was still Yuan Shang's. β
"That's not the purpose of the teacher." Yang Changshi cried out bitterly, and saw that the time was not early, so he quickly said that he wanted to get rid of Tian Feng and frustration for Deputy Director Tao and Yuan Shang, and then roughly introduced the plan he had made by himself - first let one of the judges or Fengji come forward to contact Tian Feng, saying that he heard that the third prince of the Great Yuan had the intention of pro-conquest of Yijing, and then instigated Tian Feng to oppose the pro-conquest of the third duke of the Great Yuan under the pretext of the emptiness of the southern line of Jizhou, the initial determination of the people's hearts in Qingzhou and the inability to mobilize the public, etc., and the prince of Yuan Shang instigated the pro-conquest in front of the third duke of the Great Yuan. provoked the rise of the Great Yuan Sangong and then took advantage of Tian Feng's resolute opposition to provoke the anger of the Great Yuan Sangong to kill Tian Feng - this was also the trick of Li Linfu, the later famous minister of the Tang Dynasty.
"Oops!" Before listening to the teacher's introduction to how to deal with the frustration next, the good student Ah Yi also cried out, "The teacher forgives the sins, when the student gave Yuan Tan a flattering idea, he also suggested that Yuan Tan contact some Jizhou important ministers to help him, and persuade some Jizhou important ministers in advance under the pretext of ending the Yijing war as soon as possible, so that they can also support Yuan Shao's personal expedition to Yijing and isolate Yuan Shang, who has always been against Yuan Tan." As a result, Yuan Tan was the first to think of Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, and sent Guo Tu and Xin Ping to visit Tian Feng and Fu Zhu that night. β
"Did Guo Tu and Xin succeed?" Yang Changshi hurriedly asked.
The good student Ah Yi smiled even more bitterly, and only replied honestly after a while: "Succeeded, Yuan Tan boasted proudly in front of the students and full favors, saying that Tian Feng also agreed with Yuan Shao's personal expedition to Yijing, and ended the Yijing war as soon as possible to reduce the burden on the people, so he agreed to Guo Tu's request, and he also thought that the delay of the Youzhou war would be unfavorable for a long time, and he also agreed to support Yuan Shao's personal expedition to Yijing, and boost morale to win Yijing in one fell swoop." β
Speaking of this, Ah Yi peeked at Yang Changshi's ugly face again, and added in a low voice: "And Yuan Tan Pifu also personally told Man Zhong and the students that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are ready to support him to go on the expedition with his father, because Tian Feng and Fu Fu both think that Yuan Tan lost too unjustly in front of Tao Yuanjun, and Langya's fiasco is not a crime of war, so they very much hope that Yuan Shao can give Yuan Tan Pifu another chance to atone for his crimes." β
Yang Changshi's face suddenly became even more ugly, saying that he didn't expect things to evolve to this point, or because his proud protΓ©gΓ© used the method he taught to figure out the meaning of the idea, ruining his tried and tested plan to hide the knife in his smile. And Ah Yi was also guilty and anxious, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, Shen Shi is almost halfway through, if the student doesn't go back, I'm afraid that the full pet will be suspicious." β
Yang Changshi was helpless, so he had to hug his proud protΓ©gΓ© again, and said in a low voice: "Ah Yi, since you insist on going undercover by Cao Thief's side, avenge your family with your own hands, and don't stop you as a teacher, but you must be careful." You go back, if there is anything you need help with, you can come here and contact the teacher. β
"Thank you." Ah Yi hurriedly knelt down on his knees, slammed his head three times, and then said in a low voice: "Teacher, in fact, in the opinion of the students, the teacher can't get rid of Tian Feng and Fu Zhu smoothly this time, and it is not necessarily a bad thing, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu follow the ancient law, resolutely oppose Yuan Shao's abolition of Chang Liyu, and act in favor of Yuan Tan a little bit, and now Yuan Tan has been weakened too much by Tao Yuanjun, let them support Yuan Tan, and they can also provoke more Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers to fight, the more fierce the internal fight in Jizhou, It is also more beneficial to the master Tao Envoy of the teacher. β
Yang Changshi nodded, but said dejectedly in his heart: "But in this case, don't want to let the first prince or the third prince stay in Jizhou to enjoy the blessings of the teacher." β
