Chapter 333: The Prime Minister is responsible
Ma Teng and Han Sui both have their own thoughts, they can't make up their minds for a while, they have their own plans, each has their own intentions, of course, they are also observing Guan Yu's movements, to see if Guan Yu can bear it, so the two of them enter a temporary stage of stalemate, but this is such a state is undoubtedly quite beneficial for Guan Yu, as long as Han Sui does not move, it is an invisible support for Guan Yu, Guan Yu can spare time and energy to deal with Cao Cao, who is entrenched in the Tiger Prison, for Guan Yu, Han Sui is just a grasshopper, And Cao Cao is the real opponent, but it is a grasshopper like Han Sui, once he gets the will, it is also amazing, then it is not a grasshopper but a wolf, and the will is crazy, and whether Han Sui can turn from a grasshopper into a wolf full of blood, the key is to see if he can take Hanoi, if he takes him, he is a wolf, if he can't take him, he is at most a grasshopper, there is nothing to worry about, but Guan Yu did not give Han Sui the opportunity to transform, he regained the Tiger Prison Pass with lightning speed, and Yuan Shao's army was still wandering in place without any progress, Guan Yu recaptured the Tiger Prison Pass, this news directly affected the situation in Hanoi, Han Sui heard that Guan Yu defeated Cao Cao and regained the Tiger Prison Pass, and couldn't help but be shocked, the situation of the Tiger Prison Pass lost and regained Luoyang became clear again, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two unfashionable guys, are still spinning in place, Guan Yu is really Guan Yu is really good, as the weakest force among the many movers, Han Sui, where does he still have the confidence to attack Hanoi again! Taking advantage of the fact that the situation was not serious, Han Sui quietly withdrew his troops, and Ma Teng did not chase after him, as a sworn brother, Han Sui could not attack rashly, and he could not pursue it either, which was called repaying him with a peach, but Ma Teng still successfully completed the task given to him by Guan Yu.
Guan Yu fully affirmed Ma Teng's achievements. He expressed his strong agreement with Ma Teng's insistence on his own ideas and did not waver in his determination, Guan Yu then said to Ma Teng: "In the coming day, I will show that the Holy Admiral Ma Daren's words and deeds are loyal to Jiangshan Sheji, and I will explain to Your Majesty that Your Majesty has given you a position to become a true and justifiable court official!" ”
"Thank you, General Guan!" Ma Teng arched his hand and said. Ma Teng thought to himself, fortunately, I didn't follow Han Sui, or if things were self-defeating, my future would be ruined, it seems that it is right to follow Guan Yu.
Guan Yu then told Ma Teng: "By the way, you must attend the court meeting the day after tomorrow, and we can pass your appointment and dismissal when the time comes!" ”
"Definitely, definitely. Nothing else, I'll take my leave! Ma Teng said to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu waved his hand to Ma Teng to signal him to leave, and Ma Teng quickly retreated.
Guan Yu beckoned his subordinates and ordered: "Go and send me Zhu Jun, Chong Fu, Lu Kui, Zhou Huan, Liu Bei, Cai Yong, and Ma Riyan!" The subordinates received the order and immediately went to the various mansions to find these ministers
After a while, these ministers came to Guan Yu's general's mansion one after another, Guan Yu's invitation must be an important matter, so these ministers did not dare to slack off, and quickly reacted to rush to Guan Yu's mansion as soon as possible. There are a lot of these people, and they are even first-class people! As a first-class member is not just a tune, many times only the emperor summons them, they can be listed, and calling so many important ministers at once is enough to see Guan Yu's appeal, these ministers are all veterans of the court, they play a pivotal role in the court, and their words are also very weighty, and the most critical point is that these ministers are loyal to the Han family and support Guan Yu. This is a large force, especially after Dong Cheng, Yang Biao, and Huang Wan were placed under house arrest. These people basically represent the voices of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and Guan Yu brought them in just to let these people come forward and make a voice in the court in the coming days.
Several ministers came to the mansion, the guests and hosts sat down, Guan Yu sat in the center, and these ministers were at the bottom of the ranks. Although you are a first-class member, you still have to distinguish the high and low, Guan Yu is above everyone, this kind of order has been set since Guan Yu took power, and Guan Yu saw that all the ministers had been listed. The ministers said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to call you so late! ”
After hearing this, Zhu Jun spoke first: "Yun Chang! Don't be so polite, just say it directly! Don't sell it to us guys! ”
Guan Yu continued: "You are all veterans of the imperial court, we temporarily held a pre-imperial meeting on personnel appointments and dismissals a while ago, and everyone unanimously approved the proposed appointment, which will be officially passed in the court in the coming day, as for whether Your Majesty can approve it, it depends on you, you are important ministers in the court, and you have a great say in front of the court and Your Majesty, so this matter needs to be pushed by everyone, especially the matter of me being the prime minister, this has to be asked to you!" ”
After hearing this, Liu Bei explained to the ministers: "Yun Chang means that he is the prime minister and let everyone put it forward, if everyone thinks that Yun Chang is qualified for this position, everyone will put it forward at the court meeting in the coming day, if everyone thinks that Yun Chang is not suitable for the position of prime minister, then it is not reluctant!" That's what it means! ”
After Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhu Jun was the first to speak: "I said Yun Chang, you are really, if you don't bring up this matter, we have to earn this pocket for you!" Even if you're embarrassed to say it, we'll bring it up too, why do you have such a meeting! ”
Taichang Qing Chong Gao echoed: "Yes! Naturally, you don't have to say anything about this matter, we will suggest to Your Majesty, and we will come forward for you! ”
"Yun Chang, you are too modest! Don't say that being a prime minister is a king! Your talents, your faithfulness, are there for all to see! Taifu Lu Kui said.
Da Honglu Zhou Huan immediately said: "It's okay, tomorrow we will come out to talk to you in the court, don't worry about this!" After hundreds of years, the Han Dynasty has come to this day, but the building will fall, and in the troubled times, there must be a figure like General Guan, who has the ability to turn the tide and put the people in the midst of fire and water, even if General Guan does not mention it, we will also like His Majesty to suggest that you take on the position of prime minister! ”
Zuo Zhonglang stunned Cai Yong and Taifu Ma Riyan in silence, and Guan Yu saw this and asked the two: "Are Lord Cai and Master Ma a little dissatisfied with my role as prime minister?" ”
Ma Riyan said: "The old man has always been the prince's teacher when he is old, and he rarely participates in political affairs. ”
"What is Lord Cai's opinion?" Guan Yu asked Cai Yongdao.
At this time, I saw Cai Yong's face melancholy, and said with sadness on his face: "As soon as I mentioned the position of prime minister, I remembered Dong Zhuo, Dong Cheng, and Prime Minister Dong!" After speaking, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he hurriedly wiped them with his sleeve
Cai Yong cried like this, and everyone present was surprised. Everyone then began to condemn Cai Yong: "Lord Cai, Lord Cai, you are so confused!" Dong thief, what kind of man-made disaster is it for the country and the people! You actually cried him? Are you in the water in your brain? "Lord Cai, this is wrong, how can you cry this chaotic thief? What good did he do? Is it worth your crying? "I think you're sick! Do you want to follow him? "The criticism of this piece is endless. Some people even suggested that he be dismissed and investigated, some even wanted to be imprisoned and arrested, and some even suggested that Cai Yong be executed, but no matter how everyone was, Cai Yong was still unmoved and cried there.
Cai Yong's crying like this really aroused public indignation, and everyone sneered at him! They all suggested to Guan Yu that Cai Yong, Dong Zhuo's follower, should be dealt with strictly. Guan Yu calmed down and said: "The man doesn't flick if he has tears, it must be Lord Cai who has a hidden feeling!" ”
It turned out that for a traitor like Dong Zhuo, such a person died, whether it was an upper-level official or a rule, the people would only clap their hands and applaud, but how could Cai Yong be sad and cry bitterly? We say that if the relatives are painful, the enemies will be happy. On the other hand, if the enemy is painful, the relatives will be happy. Whether it is celebration or mourning, it just reflects his position. All righteous people with a conscience. On such an occasion, there must be jubilation. And those who are secretly miserable must be Dong Zhuo's comrades. The so-called rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it. Even if it is the same party, at this time, it is afraid to avoid it, let alone show sadness, even if it is to force a face. You should also pretend to be as elated as everyone else, and no one is stupid enough to let out a cry of sorrow in broad daylight. Doesn't this just show that he is in the same party as the traitor? Cai Yong is a scribe, and he is a scribe with a sense of justice, because he will not grieve for Dong Zhuo's death, on the contrary, he should raise a glass to celebrate, but he cried, crying earth-shatteringly. Stop at nothing.
Cai Yong was not Dong Zhuo's comrade, but he sent it to the door by himself, which was undoubtedly his own death, and he smeared his face. Those who are the real remnants of Dong Zhuo are hiding far away, or they will immediately draw a line with Dong Zhuo. said that he was rebellious at the beginning, but he was only forced by power, and at the critical moment, he also acted as the internal response of the imperial court, in short, no one would stretch their necks and wait for others to cut it. From this point of view, Cai Yong's behavior is a little too shocking, or simply put, stupid.
Cai Yong cried Dong Zhuo, is Cai Yong not cherishing his life, yes. Cai Yong cried, not crying Dong Zhuo's death in vain, but crying about his kindness to himself. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo was the prime minister, and his power was overwhelming, and in order to receive popularity, Cai Yong was recruited to enter the court as an official. Cai Yong refused to go to the post. Dong Zhuo became angry, and made people say to Cai Yong: "If you don't come, I will destroy your three clans." Cai Yong was afraid of Dong Zhuo's power, so he had to die. Dong Zhuo was very happy to see Cai Yong, and within a month, he was promoted to three levels in a row, worshiped as a servant, and loved him very much. At first, Cai Yong was also persecuted, but later, Dong Zhuo attached great importance to him, and he didn't feel a sense of acquaintance, after all, he had been subordinate for too long, and today he raised his eyebrows and exhaled, and he could also show his life's ambitions. So subconsciously, Dong Zhuo was regarded as the master of knowledge. Since the Han Dynasty, infiltrated by Confucianism, Chinese scholars have in their bones the collective subconscious of the death of a scholar as a confidant, such as Zhuge Liang's later is also grateful for the grace of the ancestor to visit the grassland, and he did his best and died. Cai Yong will naturally have the urge to die as a confidant. Although the Lord he met was seen by others as Ji and Xuan, he was also Yao and Shun in his eyes. Cai Yong cried Dong Zhuo not so much that he was repaying Dong Zhuo for his kindness, but that he was practicing the moral code in his heart.
Cai Yong is true temperament after all. Not afraid of people's words, not avoiding death and life. Such a person is rare in ancient and modern times. And those snobs in the world, when others gain power, they flock to them, hoping to get some small favors, but when others lose power, they are scattered as birds and beasts, and even fall into the well, abound. Cai Yong cried Dong Zhuo, not only crying out of his true temperament, but also crying out of the state of human feelings, which also made Cai Yong's death have a certain strong tragic color.
In modern times, Guan Yu was very puzzled when he read the scene of Cai Yong crying Dong Zhuo, and later he finally realized the truth through study, as mentioned above, Cai Yong is grateful to Dong Zhuo for the grace of his knowledge, not anything else, this is the feeling he should have as a scholar. Guan Yu is also deeply sympathetic to this, Dong Zhuo has done all the bad things and evil things and deserves to die, but Cai Yong doesn't have to, although he cried Dong Zhuo, but Guan Yu did not have a seizure but said to everyone unusually: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to marry, let him cry!" We'll see you at the court tomorrow! Meeting! After Guan Yu finished speaking, he got up and left. Everyone evacuated one after another, but Cai Yong was still choking there, and some of the ministers were angry, some were helpless, and some were disdainful, and they walked out of the house one after another
Guan Yu didn't hate Wu and Wu like Wang Yun, and executed Cai Yong, in his eyes, Cai Yong was a rare talent, especially his talent made Guan Yu appreciate it very much, and he cried Dong Zhuo is not that he and Dong Zhuo are in the same party, if Guan Yu wants to exclude him, he will not get him a position. Although Dr. Guanglu is a vain position, it is out of reach of ordinary people, Cai Yong took on this position, which shows Guan Yu's importance to him, in fact, Guan Yu, as a leader, his perspective on the world is still quite macroscopic, and he does not treat people and things so much, people are not saints and sages, and everyone has shortcomings, which is inevitable. No one is perfect, as long as he supports Guan Yu's leadership and has the ability to do things, this is enough. Guan Yu is not harsh on people, as long as this person does not touch Guan Yu's death hole, even if he makes a mistake, Guan Yu can generally forgive, this is the mind of a leader, Cai Yong can win Guan Yu's forgiveness like this, which shows that Guan Yu is still tolerant of people.
The court meeting finally began on the third day. The meeting was held in the Xuande Hall in Luoyang, and Emperor Xian sat on the dragon throne as a twelve-year-old child who performed the rites of the Son of Heaven, and all the military officials below the rank were ranked, and Guan Yu wore a square hat and a soap robe, and a bell belt around his waist. It is majestic to stand majestically in front of everyone, it is really a jade tree in the wind, one is outstanding and the other is extraordinary, other civil and military ministers are lined up on both sides, what imperial uncle Liu Bei, right Zhonglang will Zhu Jun, too servant Lu Kui, Taichang Qing Chong Gao, Taifu Ma Riyan, Da Honglu Zhou Huan and even Cai Yong also came as scheduled, as well as Ma Teng, what generals over there are Wen Ping, Xu Huang, Cui Lie, Wang Qi and even Ma Chao and Pang De also came to the bottom of the list, and other civil and military ministers also came as scheduled, this is a unique meeting, Emperor Xian rarely participates in such meetings, rarely holds such meetings, such a scene makes him a little nervous, after all, he is still a child, although his psychological quality is good, but under such a strong lineup and such a powerful aura, how can he be a child calmly?
Emperor Xian trembled and asked: "The previous Tiger Prison Pass was lost, the Bishui Pass was also captured by Yuan Shao, Hanoi City was also trapped by Han Sui, the situation in Luoyang is precarious, and now under the magic plan of General Guan, the Tiger Prison Pass has been restored, the siege of Hanoi has been resolved, and the only remaining Yuan Shao of Bishui Pass is still there to stand still, today's meeting is particularly important under this situation, you Aiqing have something to do!" ”
Zhu Jun was the first to come out and said, "Your Majesty!" The minister has something to do! ”
"Master Zhu, just say it!" Emperor Xian greeted.
Zhu Jun immediately said: "After more than 400 years, the Han dynasty has been passed on to this day as if it is full of holes and diseases, looking at the remnants of the Yellow Turban that the princes are still making waves today, and the people who form parties and run private interests in the court, the corrupt and corrupt, and the people who buy and sell officials emerge in endlessly. General Guan Yuguan is a soldier born in the army for many years for the imperial court repeatedly made military exploits, the previous eradication of Dong thieves is a great contribution, and then pacified Dong Zhuo's remnants and successfully recovered Sanfu and Xiliang, just a few days ago defeated Cao Cao to recapture the tiger prison, lifted the siege of Luoyang, many times to turn the tide, is today no one invincible hero, this is a very person, the great cause of the revival of the Han family will wait for the emergence of General Guan has a turnaround, but to truly realize the great cause of revival of the road ahead is difficult, I pray for Your Majesty to protect General Guan to be promoted to the post of prime minister, Oversee all government affairs to reverse the program and achieve great governance! ”
After Zhu Jun finished speaking, he saw that the servant Lu Kui, Taichang Qing Chong Gao, Da Honglu Zhou Huan, the generals Wen Ping, Xu Huang, and Cui Lie all came out to express their approval, and Taifu Ma Riyan and Zuo Zhonglang Cai Yong and Wang Qi also finally came out to express their approval, Emperor Xian saw that the important civil and military ministers above the court all agreed with what Zhu Jun said, and he was very surprised, Emperor Xian still had a good impression of Guan Yu, after all, his attitude towards him after he came to power was much better than Dong Zhuo's, but Guan Yu was indeed a big deal to be promoted to prime minister. Although Emperor Xian is a child, he is still quite sensitive to this position, and Dong Zhuo was promoted to Xiangguo before he was unscrupulous! Emperor Xian suddenly became big when he heard this word, he was tortured by Dong Zhuo before (to be continued......
