Chapter 870: The Visit (I)
Watching Liu Bei and the three leave, Yun Ting slowly exhaled. Talking to Liu Bei is not much easier than other things, on the contrary, it takes a lot of thought, and it is necessary to figure out Liu Bei's psychology and say some conditions that can make Liu Bei tempting.
It's useless to say anything else, for Liu Bei, he is not like Cao Cao, what kind of things will he do for the Han family. Or maybe Cao Cao is not for the Han family, but for the prosperous era in his heart that is incomparably far away from him and can never be replicated again.
Liu Bei is a little more pure, it may be because of his background, so he pays more attention to a lot of real things. It's not like Cao Cao, who will bet all his net worth on one possibility.
It can also be seen from some of Liu Bei's later actions that when the so-called Han family had a total problem, the people present always did not have him. The person who often appeared to save the Han family and restore the Han family to a certain status was the traitor Cao Cao in the mouths of Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this matter is one of the black spots on Cao Cao's body, even if he doesn't do it, someone else will do it. For example, Liu Bei, Liu Bei's surname is Liu, and the name of the royal family, it is more logical to do certain things. For example, if the emperor dies for some "normal" reason, then Liu Bei should take the responsibility of supervising the country, or maybe replace him.
Convincing Liu Bei is not much more difficult than convincing Cao Cao, no matter what, Yun Ting's target is Dong Zhuo, not anyone else. Dong Zhuo's identity is destined for others to participate in this operation, there must be a reasonable reason, and there must be enough conditions or interests to impress him.
Where are Liu Bei's interests? Liu Bei's interests
It is because he wants to get ahead and get the ladder to climb upwards, which Yun Ting can't give him, his own official position as a captain of the Qiang Guard, all of which were in time when the Ten Standing Servants were in charge, he used the means to come over, and now the Emperor Han Ling, who sold his official position, is no longer there, and you can't buy any official positions if you have money.
Buying and selling officials was a unique political ecology in the Han Dynasty, in which the emperor relied on the sale of certain official positions to get money from wealthy families, so as to use the money where it was needed. It started as early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, was not the first pioneer here.
For the emperor, this is very real, just a few inconsequential official positions, as long as those officials in office do not behave indiscriminately. It's just that Emperor Ling of Han can't achieve the absolute control like Emperor Wu, so there will be a lot of problems, so that the strong opposition of the bureaucracy makes him have to support the Ten Standing Servants to confront the bureaucracy.
Now that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is dead, the bureaucracy has regained power, and still wants to buy officials? Impossible. The official positions have been bought by you, what are the children of their family doing? You have bought all the official positions, doesn't that prove that their status is the same as that of you, who relied on buying official positions?
If you can buy an official, then Yun Ting will not be stingy with a little money, and directly ask Liu Bei for an official position. Now, although he can't give Liu Bei a suitable official position, he can give him a path, a path to see if he believes it or not, and whether he dares to take the garbage.
He told Liu Bei most of the things about Dong Zhuo, whether it was true or not, Liu Bei would judge it himself. These are useless to him, including Cao Cao, it was not so simple when he persuaded Cao Cao at the beginning. It took out a lot of evidence, and let him see something with his own eyes, coupled with the candle shadow of the player strategist that had already existed around Cao Cao, to successfully convince Cao Cao.
Suspicion is something that everyone has, depending on their status and the number of things they have. In the entire Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was not the only one who was suspicious? Like Yuan Shao, he was so suspicious of Cao Cao that he directly locked up his advisers, and later simply took his life.
The smarter the person, the more suspicious he is, and prudence is also a type of suspicion. For example, Zhou Yu, such as Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi, their IQ makes them need to determine a lot of things, and then judge the authenticity of this matter according to the clues in their hands. When encountering the kind of things that do not have many clues and cannot determine the truth or falsehood, they often subconsciously hesitate.
This kind of psychological state is inevitable for many people, on the contrary, if those who have nothing dare to gamble, after encountering many things, on the contrary, whether it is true or not, he will gamble once. Anyway, he has nothing, and he can't lose anything if he loses, on the contrary, he may get a lot of things that he didn't have before.
Liu Bei's current mentality is a bit like this, like Liu Bang, like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. They belong to the kind of barefoot people who are not afraid to wear shoes, they have nothing, they have too little, but there will be a kind of impulse that makes them dare to scare and scold those who are superior.
Every dynasty, every dynasty, understands this very well. Therefore, they give the people more things if they can, as long as they have even the same, many people will not rebel. As for the time when there is nothing, it also proves that it is time for this dynasty to change the dynasty.
Liu Bei, who left, still needs to give him time to think, Yun Ting is not in a hurry, he has a good chance of convincing Liu Bei to successfully let him join. Not only because of the so much evidence that has been presented, but also because Liu Bei is ambitious, and ambitious people are often better to cooperate.
Maybe Liu Bei will also use this incident to hook up with Dong Zhuo? This kind of thing, unless Liu Bei doesn't want to die, he will not do it, if Dong Zhuo knows that someone knows what he is planning, to a large extent, he will cut those people to the roots.
A person like Liu Bei, who is in Luoyang City and has no foundation anywhere, can't make too many waves if he dies. Players know him, the aboriginal forces won't know him now, if he is replaced by Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo will have pressure to change to Liu Bei, and he will not have any pressure at all.
What's more, suddenly someone inexplicably comes to tell you what's wrong, who would believe what such a person says? No matter how reasonable it is, it can't get rid of the doubts that come with it.
Anyway, what can be done has already been done, and Yunting just needs to wait. Whether Liu Bei joins or not, it will only make Yun Ting's grasp greater, and it will not have much impact on him.
"Lao Liu, are you coming out?" Outside the door, the toad eating the phoenix saw Liu Bei who came out and walked up.
"Hmm." Liu Bei nodded, he was deep in thought, and he didn't have any intention of talking to the toad that ate the phoenix.
The tremor in his heart has not stopped, and he can't stop. When he hadn't seen Yun Ting before, he had imagined many scenes, but he didn't expect that there would be so many news that made him accept him in a short time.
Liu Bei's mind was in a mess now, and he knew that if he wanted to ease down and digest the news he had just heard, it would take him a long time to do it.
"How's the talk going?" The toad who ate the phoenix continued to ask.
"I need to think about it." Liu Bei didn't raise his head and walked out.
The toad who ate the phoenix saw that Liu Bei's state was not right, and he didn't talk much, stopped doing more to block, and waved his hand, "Go slowly." ”
The toad who eats the phoenix is still very happy, this time his matchmaking should be considered a success, no matter whether Liu Bei wants to cooperate with Yun Ting in the end, the relationship with him has not changed. After thinking about this, the toad that ate the phoenix walked happily towards the inner courtyard, ready to take a shower and change out of the dirty clothes on his body.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei out of the way they came without saying a word, and their faces were gloomy and a little uncertain. What they just heard really didn't have an impact on them, so much so that they still haven't come to their senses.
In the past, the two of them, no matter who they were, could face any situation calmly. Including fighting on the battlefield and wandering between life and death, these things that make ordinary people extremely frightened are also simple things for them.
If you can drink alcohol on the battlefield. Maybe Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will bring wine and have a few drinks on the battlefield. It doesn't matter if you're drunk, if you finish off all the enemies, it's okay if you're drunk on the battlefield.
However, what they had just heard was much more impactful than the fighting they had experienced. At best, they fought once, killing hundreds of or ten people, and experiencing those battlefields where tens of millions of people were killed, and the impact was only on a small scale. But the things revealed in what Yun Ting said just now are different, casually, they will affect the whole world and thousands of people, how can they be calm?
This feeling of being in the whirlpool and being in touch with the truth is not pleasant. There is a feeling that the world in front of me has suddenly been revealed, and the truths that are revealed are so terrifying.
When he walked out of the mansion gate, at first glance when he saw the street in the distance and the pedestrians in the distance, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't help frowning.
The previous Luoyang City was a peaceful city in their eyes, the capital of the world. But now, Luoyang City is clearly so dangerous, and it may become a battlefield at any time.
They couldn't help but be a little confused, wondering if what they had heard was true or not, and whether it would happen. Although they don't want to be deceived, I don't know why, whether it is Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, both of them would rather be deceived. All the words I heard were lies, but someone deliberately tried to say it that way to exaggerate the facts.
