Chapter 242: Chaos in Chang'an (8)
After Wang Yun laughed, he leaned his head to Xu Ji, put on an intimate appearance, and whispered to Xu Ji: "No wonder Mr. has this question, of course Mr. Le Jin can't know that Mr. Lu Dao, today the old man is looking for Mr. to talk about this important matter, not only what the old man meant, but also for the prime minister." Although Lord Cai Yong and I had conflicts before, and we still don't speak, but now after all, we are ministers in the same palace, and we work under the prime minister, and our position is still the same. ”
Xu Ji scolded in his heart when he heard this: This old fox is really good at talking, and he actually involved Dong Zhuo in a half-truth. In addition, the grievances between himself and Cai Yong have been brushed aside, showing that he is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private. It's amazing.
You have to know that now Wang Yun doesn't understand what Xu Ji's intentions are represented by the "Lejin" in front of him, so now Wang Yun is saying something vague, so ambiguous, naturally leaving a way out for what he said.
Of course, Xu Ji looked shocked on the surface, and pretended to be shocked: "What, there is still the meaning of the prime minister here?" ”
Wang Yun nodded and said: "Mr. Lejin is a smart person, so he can naturally see that at the banquet a few days ago, the prime minister targeted Mr. ”
Xu Ji was strange in his heart, and he didn't understand why Wang Yun was involved in this matter, so he pretended to be gloomy on the surface: "I naturally know this way, but I am a little sad and regretful afterwards. ”
Wang Yun nodded and said: "Mr. regrets, of course I understand what is going on, after all, what you need most as a messenger is to be calm and wise, Mr. That night's answer was wonderful, but it was equivalent to colliding with the prime minister in person, which really shouldn't be." ”
Xu Ji said with a slight confusion on the surface: "I'm worried about this matter, for fear of returning to Yanzhou in the future." My lord's guild rebuked me for this. ”
Wang Yun's eyes flashed and said, "Mr. Don't take this matter too seriously. Don't feel sad, you must know that Prime Minister Lu Dao is not a narrow-minded person. And the events of that night were not directed at Mr. ”
Xu Ji is even more strange, you must know that Dong Zhuo is a womanizer. That night, everyone saw the fact that Dong Zhuo came out for Xuzhou because he got Cao Ling, and now Wang Yun actually said that Dong Zhuo was not targeting him as a fake "Lejin", obviously reversing black and white, but Wang Yun did it, did he think he was a fool?
Unless Wang Yun can make up very credible reasons.
At the same time, Xu Ji has clearly realized that Wang Yun's reason is Wang Yun's purpose for stating himself.
So Xu Ji simply said casually: "It turns out that there are other insiders in it." I don't know if you can tell me. “
Wang Yun pondered for a long time, obviously organizing the language, and then said after a while: "Mr. Le Jin underestimates the prime minister too much, the prime minister is a person who does great things, how can he target Mr. for a woman?" In fact, the Prime Minister targeted Liu Yu. ”
I see, after listening to Wang Yun's words, Xu Ji understood in his heart: it turned out that the person Wang Yun wanted to target was Liu Yu, and the answer was unexpected, but think about it carefully. But it makes sense. Xu Ji had already vaguely guessed Wang Yun's intentions. That is to say, to borrow Yanzhou's hand to get rid of Liu Yu.
Because according to Wang Yun's plan, once Chang'an is completed, he himself will be a figure in power leaning towards the government and the opposition, and for him, the court and the government will have nothing to resist. As for Cao Cao and the others who contributed to him this time, they will not be able to compare with Wang Yun, who is famous all over the world for getting rid of Dong Zhuo, by that time.
If anyone will compete with him for power, it will only be foreign princes. Now the princes of the world can have this strength, one is him Xu Ji. One is Liu Yu, the head of the world, for Wang Yun. Xu Ji may be a little worse, because Wang Yun knows that Xu Ji's eyes are completely in the Central Plains now, and there is no one to speak for him in the imperial court, although Cai Yong and Xu Ji have some kindness, but this scholarly genius is basically a political idiot and does not pose a threat to Wang Yun at all.
But Liu Yu is different, Liu Yu's son Liu He is a popular person around Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and as a royal family, Liu Yu can enter Chang'an at any time, although Liu Yu's military talent is almost equal to nothing, but Liu Yu's political talent is really outstanding, Wang Yun is compared in this regard, that is, it is jaw-dropping.
But Wang Yun didn't have the strength and reason to fight Liu Yu.
So of course Wang Yun wanted to borrow someone else's hand to bring down Liu Yu, and the best candidate was of course Xu Ji.
Wang Yun's vision is very poisonous, although Xu Ji and Liu Yu are nominally allies, but he still sees through Xu Ji's ambitions for Youzhou at a glance, and knows the purpose of Zhang He's army and Gao Lan's army to garrison Youzhou.
Therefore, Wang Yuncai is not afraid that his fake Le Jin will refuse this matter.
The question is what kind of reason Wang Yun wants to find so that he can immediately target Liu Yu, you must know that Xu Ji gives the outside world the impression that he plans and then acts, and there is no reason for Xu Ji to kill Liu Yu and an excuse that is reasonable to the outside world, Xu Ji will never rush to send troops.
Now it depends on what kind of reason Wang Yun fabricates to make him kill Liu Yu.
While thinking in his heart, Xu Ji pretended to be stunned, and said to Wang Yun: "Liu Yu? ”
Wang Yun said in a deep voice: "Yes, the prime minister is targeting Liu Yu. After a pause, he said: "Do you know that Liu Yu wants to hijack the emperor to Youzhou?" ”
Xu Ji was even more taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't understand how Wang Yun knew about Lu Dao, so he shouted: "What! "The shock in my heart is simply indescribable.
Liu Yu's rescue of Emperor Han Xian is an extremely secret matter, and now the people who know about the matter should only be Liu Yu's people, and he himself learned about this matter from the history books, and Chen Zhi and others heard about the secret conversation with Liu Bei's three brothers on the way to Chang'an.
Could it be that this Wang Yun didn't know about Lu Dao at all, and was just making it up at will to achieve the goal of deceiving himself?
However, I have to admit that Wang Yun's move is indeed very vicious, and he probably saw that his purpose in calling the princes of the world to meet the emperor in Beijing this time was to obtain the emperor's order, and Wang Yun saw this point before saying this to himself.
If Liu Yu was allowed to take away Emperor Han Xian, then his plan would be completely in vain. After Emperor Han Xian was with Liu Yu, Xu Ji couldn't receive any imperial orders at all. And it has to be controlled by others, and the most important thing is that Liu Yu is a person who sincerely serves the Han. He is also a member of the Han clan, so no one will say that he controls the emperor.
But I was prepared this time. The person who wants to pick up Emperor Xian of Han is himself, not Liu Yu.
But Xu Ji had no way to say this, did he say to Wang Yun: I don't care about Liu Yu, because I have long been ready to kidnap the emperor, and you all have no share?
It is precisely because of this that I should pretend to be shocked, which is normal.
If he guessed correctly, Wang Yun's next step was to strengthen his confidence.
Sure enough, Wang Yun said in a deep voice: "Liu Yu Lao'er is really too disagreeable. With the prestige of being famous all over the world, he is flying and domineering, and does not live up to the control of the court, the prime minister once asked the emperor to issue a holy decree three times, and put the position of the three princes and nine secretaries in front of him for him to choose, who knows that this Liu Yu actually disdains it, and does not want the appointment of the court at all, what does he want to do? Do you want the emperor to give up his throne? ”
Xu Ji looked at Wang Yun in front of him. A chill rose in his heart, this Wang Yun is too capable of reversing black and white, Liu Yu is a child of the royal family who is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and he refuses to be a high-ranking official appointed by Dong Zhuo in the name of the emperor. It is a manifestation of loyalty to Emperor Han Xian, how did Wang Yun become disobedient to the control of the court and ill-intentioned. Deliberate rebellion?
Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help but defend Liu Yusheng: "My lord." Lord Liu Yu wouldn't despise the imperial court so much, would he? Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others once wanted to make Lord Liu Yu the emperor, but weren't they rejected by Lord Liu Yu? ”
Wang Yun snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Lejin is a rare talent. But after all, the time in politics is too short, and he doesn't know that the people of Lu Dao are sinister, and Liu Yu is just selling his reputation by doing this. Liu Yu rejected the proposal of Yuan Shao and others, on the one hand, it seemed that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty, on the other hand, he was also sitting and watching the situation, at that time, it was difficult to know who won and who lost among the Kwantung princes, if Yuan Shao and others were victorious, it was not him Liu Yu who enjoyed his success as the emperor? If Yuan Shao and others fail, Liu Yu will also have a way out for the prime minister. ”
Xu Ji couldn't help but nodded, and said in his heart that this Wang Yun really has a hand, after his analysis, Liu Yu has become an old and cunning person, and it sounds like that.
It's a pity that there is a loophole in this, that is, Dong Zhuo had already burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an at that time. Wang Yun's analysis of Liu Yu Yuan Shao and others also thought about it, because Yuan Shao wanted to ask Liu Yu to be the emperor is not just that, after the fire in Luoyang, Yuan Shao did not move, just to want to find out Liu Yu's true thoughts, at that time Dong Zhuo was already preparing to avoid trouble in Chang'an, at this time Liu Yu wanted to come out to be the emperor It was simply easy, but Liu Yu did not do that, so Wang Yun's words can be said to be a slander against Liu Yu.
Moreover, it is impossible for Dong Zhuo to know the news of Lu Dao, because Dong Zhuo has no channel to know the news of Lu Dao, if Dong Zhuo knows about Lu Dao, it is also revealed to him by Wang Yun, but Wang Yun will never do this, because it will cause a series of reactions from Dong Zhuo, which is definitely not conducive to Wang Yun's assassination of Dong Zhuo.
Thinking of this, Xu Ji hurriedly said in a deep voice: "This matter is very important, but I don't know where the Prime Minister and the Lord knew about it?" ”
Wang Yun's eyes flashed, and he was surprised. I didn't expect the Lejin in front of me to think so carefully, after hearing such earth-shattering news, he would also think of asking about the source of the news, how dare he be careless, and after a little hesitation, he said: "The prime minister has just heard of this matter, and the prime minister doesn't know the specific situation, but this matter was told to the prime minister by the old man, and he tried his best to defend the lord, and the good words were exhausted, so that the lord had no complaints about the lord, but he was very dissatisfied with the lord and Liu Yu's old man." ”
After a pause, he said: "The old man's matter is from Shi A, the great sword master next to the emperor. The old man and Shi A's teacher Wang Yue are close friends, so Shi Azi knows everything about the old man, but the old man hopes that Mr. Le Jin will not ask the prime minister about this matter, so as not to arouse the prime minister's anger again. ”
Xu Ji was stunned in his heart, but he didn't expect Wang Yun to lie and really have a hand, and he actually pulled Shi Adu into it. Of course, Xu Ji knew that Shi A didn't know about Lu Dao at all, otherwise Shi A wouldn't have told him.
Of course, this is because Wang Yun believes that it is absolutely impossible for Shi A and himself to know each other, so it is absolutely impossible for him to go to Shi A to prove this matter.
Wang Yue has been sleeping underground again, so it is naturally impossible to stand up and reason with Wang Yun whether he has a relationship with this Wang Yun. It's just that Wang Yun didn't know that he had already subdued Shi A, and even took advantage of Shi A's strength in Chang'an.
As for Dong Zhuo, according to Wang Yun, he can't even ask.
And so it goes. This may sound like conclusive evidence, but in fact there is no evidence against it.
However, since Wang Yun has already decided that Yanzhou has ambitions for Youzhou. Then he simply pretended to be confused and believed that Wang Yun's words were right.
Come to think of it. Hurriedly made a contemplative look, and said in a deep voice: "My lord is reasonable. ”
Wang Yun snorted coldly when he heard this: "The Prime Minister has long known about this matter, but the Prime Minister has been holding back, what does Mr. know about the Dao?" ”
Xu Ji shook his head, and Wang Yun said in a deep voice: "Isn't that for the sake of Lord Ling's face on Xu Fuma?" In any case, Liu Yu and Master Horse are the leaders of this pro-emperor movement, and Lord Horse is even more important, so even if the prime minister wants to treat Liu Yu, he must see what Lord Horse means. Without the support of the Lord, the prime minister would not dare to act rashly. ”
Wang Yun's lie is too clever!
If it weren't for Xu Ji's knowledge of what kind of person Wang Yun was in the history of Lu Dao, and he overheard the conversation between Wang Yun and Bao Xin, it would be difficult to distinguish at all.
According to common sense, Wang Yun's words will comprehensively provoke "Lejin's" dissatisfaction with Liu Yu.
Wang Yun saw that Xu Ji's face was cloudy, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lejin, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xu Ji hurriedly said hatefully: "I didn't expect Liu Yu to be such a person, wasting my lord's trust in him." ”
Wang Yun saw "Le Jin" say this. With great joy in his heart, he knew that this "Lejin" had been moved by himself, and hurriedly added a fire and said: "This Liu Yu is extremely cunning, and he uses the Lord as a shield." He was dissatisfied with the opposition to the Lord, and the Lord was burdened with such an unwarranted disaster, but he was kept in the dark. was even used by Liu Yu, the old man is really unfair for the Lord! ”
These words are really pleasant to the ear to hear. It seems that Wang Yun has no selfishness at all, and is completely thinking about Xu Ji.
Xu Ji sneered in his heart. But Xu Ji still didn't understand a little, Wang Yun only needed to greet himself directly with this news, why bother so much? As Xu Ji's subordinate, it is really normal to report this news to Xu Ji, and he still uses a beauty trick?
Seeing Xu Ji's eyes flickering, Wang Yun frowned and said, "Does Lord Lejin still have any questions about this matter?" ”
Xu Ji hurriedly said: "Where do you dare not believe the words of the adult?" It's just that the adults are for the good of my Yanzhou, but they want to give me a delicate beauty for this useless person, hey, it makes Lejin a little restless. ”
Wang Yun smiled and said: "Lord Lejin is too careful, how can you be a useless person?" Lord Lejin is a powerful general and a first-class wise and brave man under the command of General Gao Shun of Yanzhou, even Gongsun Zan is not the enemy of Mr.'s three moves, this skill is only afraid of being too much compared to Lu Wenhou, and in the future, Yanzhou will use troops against Youzhou, Mr. is not the first to bear the brunt? Isn't the Lord's attitude towards Liu Yu a word from Mr.? In fact, as long as the gentleman handed over this matter to inform the Lord, it would be the first achievement. In the future, Mr. will be on the rise in Yanzhou, is it not just around the corner? The old man also found a good home for Xirou. He laughed.
Xu Ji laughed with Wang Yun, and then remembered his identity and understood Wang Yun's thoughts, that is, he wanted to cooperate with Wang Yun with all his strength in attacking Liu Yu.
This Wang Yun's vision is really very vicious, and he can actually think of the important role that a little person can play in this matter.
Thinking a little further, Wang Yun also saw through his performance at Dong Zhuo's night banquet that he must not be a person who has lived under the people for a long time, and it is possible to enter the upper echelons of the Yanzhou army.
It seems that this Wang Yun doesn't know any other schemes, but he used the serial scheme to the pinnacle, and now he actually uses it on himself, which is really amazing!
Wang Yun suppressed his laughter and looked at Xu Jidao: "The old man knows that Mr. Lu Dao still has some doubts, but the facts are in front of him, didn't Mr. see Liu Bei, Liu Yu's envoy, and Zhang Ren, the envoy of Liu Yan, the assassin of Yizhou, have been in frequent contact these days?" It was clear that the two were joining forces, and the lord had to be on guard. ”
Xu Ji was stunned again, and admired Wang Yun's talent for lying more and more, just now he was involved with Shi A, and now he is actually involved with Liu Yan again.
Maybe Liu Yan and Liu Yu have the possibility of cooperation, but this possibility is very small, because Liu Yan and Liu Yu are not the same kind of people at all, the former is too ambitious, even if the two cooperate, Liu Yan will never let Liu Yu bring Emperor Han Xian to Youzhou, and he must take Emperor Han Xian back to Yizhou.
Moreover, Liu Bei looked for Zhang Ren, in Xu Ji's opinion, there were more elements to seek a way back for himself, after all, the situation in Youzhou was unstable, and there was Xu Ji's intervention, leaving little room for Liu Bei's development.
But this thing has become like this in Wang Yun's mouth, and the real world is nothing more strange than this.
Just thinking about it, Wang Yun patted Xu Ji on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Mr. Go back and think about this matter, and see if Wang Mou has half a lie!" ”
Xu Ji hurriedly said: "Le Jin doesn't dare to doubt my lord. Everything is at your command. ”
Wang Yun smiled and said: "This is the best, by the way, the time is almost up, Mr. Lejin, you go first, and the old man will arrive later, so as not to be doubted by others." ”
Xu Ji agreed, walked out of the study, and gently closed the door.
But he smiled bitterly in his heart, and he didn't dare to underestimate this Wang Yun anymore. (To be continued......)
