During the Later Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, several well-known trolls appeared.

Gai Xun should be considered one of them, but his reputation for squirming people is not so loud.

However, Liu Wei looked through the living notes of Emperor Han Ling and found that Gai Xun, an honest man who always seemed to be a little wilted, was not far behind in spraying people, and this guy cherished words like gold.

If you can spray with two words, you doubt life, and he will never use three words.

He had even sprayed Emperor Han Ling several times.

"I'm a question that makes it difficult for Gai Qing to answer?" Seeing that Gai Xun was silent, Liu Wei asked with a smile.

Gai Xun took his eyes off the food in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the first emperor was very smart, he was just blinded by the left and right. If the former emperor could reuse a foolish courtier like a minister, the world would definitely not be like this. ”

Liu Wei chuckled, "The first emperor is a faint king, and what I said is magnificent. Just like Cui Lie's son scolded Cui Lie for being shameless in selling officials, if the father did something wrong, and the son did not scold or persuade him, I felt that it was unfilial behavior. ”

"Let's talk about me, do you think I used the wrong person?"

Gai Xun tried to probe and raised his chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, and put them down again.

"It's okay, you say while eating, there are no kings and ministers today, you can just treat me as your son." Seeing this, Liu Wei said.

As soon as he said this, Gai Xun's state instantly relaxed.

He picked up his chopsticks, then picked up a piece of sheep and scorpion, and put it in the bowl that had been prepared a long time ago and dipped it.

"Your Majesty wants the minister to tell the truth?" Between gnawing on the sheep and scorpions, Gai Xun asked a little inexplicably.

Liu Wei drank tea silently, "Do you think my rice is eaten for nothing?" I've heard enough flattery. ”

Gai Xun nodded, "So, Chen understands. If you want the minister to tell the truth, then Your Majesty must have used the wrong person. ”

Liu Wei saw that Gai Xun was eating very happily, and he also put down the cup and picked up the chopsticks.

"The minister has never understood why His Majesty wants to reuse so many Cao generals, aren't you raising a ferocious tiger as your own reliance? The tiger is a fierce beast, and if it is not raised well, it will hurt its owner. Gai Xun said.

Liu Wei, who asked this, looked helpless.

Do you think I want to?

I also want to use Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei.

But Zhao Yun led Chang Shan to obey, and at this moment he was under the account of Gongsun Zhan.

Dian Wei served in the army in Yanzhou, and then followed Liu Dai and others to flee Yanzhou, and now should be under Yuan Shao's account.

Finally, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei almost used him, but didn't this go wrong!

Lu Bu, Liu Wei also tried, a real dog thing.

Who else is there now?

Sun Ce and Sun Jian's positions have always been a little wavering, and they can't use it.

Liu Wei has not paid attention to these fierce generals, he is actually very attentive to looking for people.

But it seems that fate has not yet arrived, either I can't find anyone, or I can't win it over for the time being.

"Because there are indeed a lot of talents in the Cao family, there are too many wolves outside, and if I don't raise a tiger, I'm worried that I will be torn to pieces by the wolves." Liu Wei said quietly, his eyes full of helplessness.

It's actually a lot better now.

There are many middle-level generals in the army, including Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji and others.

At least not like last year, when the Cao family was dominant, at that time, although Liu Wei had to use it as a last resort, his heart was really empty.

"If you don't look at the results, it's actually difficult for the minister to understand, but in the battle of Yanzhou and the battle of the Western Expedition, the generals of the Cao clan are indeed very outstanding. But the minister has another doubt, how did His Majesty find out that they all have military skills? Gai Xun asked again.

"I don't know the prophet." Liu Wei said lightly.

“…… The minister thinks so too. Gai Xun smiled.

Liu Wei: ......

"Are you out of words?" Liu Wei frowned and asked.

Gai Xun actually nodded, "Except for the Cao family, the minister really didn't find out that His Majesty used the wrong person. ”

"There is another thing that can be said or not, that is, like Ding Gong, who has long been accustomed to being an idle minister, talking about state affairs like a family affair, and has long lost his enterprising spirit. They come from good backgrounds, come from large families, and although they are in troubled years, they have no ambitions. ”

"Even in times of peace and prosperity, these people are unworthy ministers with no name. What's more, the world is in ruins, and Your Majesty is determined to forge ahead, and these courtiers will only become a stumbling block for Your Majesty and the court. ”

"Your Majesty kicked a lot, but in the minister's opinion, he didn't kick hard enough."

Gai Xun's words directly touched on Liu Bian's heart disease.

He said: "The three princes jointly recommended it, and they themselves can't find a big mistake, what else can I do?" ”

Liu Wei had already prepared a knife and axe for Ding Gong, but Huangfu Song stood up and pleaded, could he kill people directly because Ding Gong spoke like a fart? Can't be killed!

Even in many cases, the dismissal of courtiers like this is not complete.

Today he is dismissed, tomorrow where there is a vacancy in the court, these people will still be listed on the list by Shang Shutai and remembered by the three dukes.

Before Xu Shao's Yuedan evaluation was not Zhang Luo, the Han Dynasty had always attached importance to the name of the virtuous, which was a subtle rule.

If they don't need people who have a good name in the world, they won't use people.

The big examination banned the recommendation from the people, but for the time being, it could not stop the three princes from pulling people from the old ministers.

"Take the Ding Palace as an example, Your Majesty should kill him to deter those courtiers in the court who do not act but like to point fingers." Gai Xun said.

He spoke, but didn't delay eating at all.

After a short moment, there was already a pile of bones at hand.

Liu Wei's face darkened slightly, he stared at Gai Xun and said, "If I remember correctly, you seem to be interceding, right?" ”

Gai Xun nodded, "The minister should intercede, but His Majesty should also kill people." ”

Liu Wei slowly put down his chopsticks, good guy, good guy, bad guy, you want to be a good guy, right?

"Your Majesty has always been a suppressive gesture towards the family, and most of the courtiers who do not act in the court are from families. If both the minister and the minister are on His Majesty's side, because of their nonsense, they will be killed, and it will be over. In particular, the third duke should stand in the center and reconcile the relationship between His Majesty and his courtiers. Gai Xun explained.

"Your Majesty kills people, and it is better for your ministers to protect people than Your Majesty because you are afraid of their fame and dare not kill people? The former loses your majesty, and the latter fulfills your majesty. ”

Liu Wei's intestines gradually turned green......

How can this be said, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts?

What a mistake!

The pot in front of him was steaming, but Liu Wei instantly lost any appetite.

"Gai Yuangu, you're an afterthought." Liu Wei scolded in a sullen voice.

Gai Xun suddenly put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and knelt down.

Liu argued that Gai Xun was going to accuse him, but Gai Xun shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached the Shuren Ding Palace." The minister witnessed with his own eyes that after Ding Gong was deposed, he insulted His Majesty loudly, and his words were filthy and could not be heard. ”

"This person deceives the king, and he has no king, so he should be punished!"

Liu Wei: ???

Good you old boy, this knife almost didn't hold steady.

"Qin An, don't you want to get someone yet?" Liu Wei shouted.

"Yui!"

Qin An appeared outside, and when he was ordered to go out, his heart was sudden.

This Ding Palace, it seems that it is destined to die.

escaped the emperor's thunderous wrath, but not Gai Xun's afterthought.

Liu Wei coughed lightly, sat down and said, "Don't take it as an example." ”

"Obey the order!" Gai Xun responded, "The next time a minister encounters a courtier insulting His Majesty, he must turn a deaf ear." ”

Liu Wei: ......

"Get up." Liu Wei said angrily, "I'm not going to let you return to the dynasty temporarily, after eating this meal, you can take Yan Xing back to the station, this person is also a fierce general, you should make good use of it." ”

"Bingzhou is the northern barrier of the imperial court, fertile fields for thousands of miles, the people are fierce, you can take care of the Quartet, you have guarded it for me."

"Obey." Gai Xun stood up after kowtowing, and naturally picked up the chopsticks again.

Liu Wei glanced at Gai Xun, so did he understand what this old guy meant?

But just when Liu Wei was about to further provoke and even say it directly, Gai Xun suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the minister should mainly focus on the east side of the point, Shisun Rui is a loyal and good minister, he is a minister with one hand, and his character is very clear." ”

"It seems that you understand what I mean, I have never suspected any of my courtiers, but you also need to be on guard." Liu Wei said.

He didn't want to doubt Cao Cao's loyalty, but he wasn't afraid of 10,000, what he was afraid of was just in case.

Liu Wei didn't want to just avoid the death knot of Emperor Shaodi of Han and fall into the puppet fate of Emperor Xian of Han.

Even if no one kept reminding him, he knew very well how much influence the Cao clan had in the army now.

This is still the situation that he has been deliberately pressing.

If it hadn't been suppressed, Cao Cao and Cao Ren's military exploits would have multiplied several times long ago.

"I understand." Gai Xun nodded slowly, "Bingzhou will always be the northern Great Wall of the imperial court, unless, the minister is dead!" ”

……

After Ding Gong was deposed, he returned directly to Luoyang.

He and his friends in the DPRK and China got together for three or five days, and after pouring out the bitter water in his stomach, he packed up his family belongings and decided to move back to his hometown Pei County to live.

For many years in the court, he has served as Sikong and Situ, and Ding Gong has countless popularity in the court.

On the day he left, hundreds of carriages, large and small, blocked the road.

From the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China to the scholars of Shilin, there were hundreds of people who came to see them off.

Ma Riyan and Yang Biao also came.

However, they stood far away and did not go to meet Ding Gong.

"I don't smell very good about the atmosphere in Beijing lately, it seems to smell a little bit of conspiracy." Yang Biao leaned in front of a butcher's shop, leaned on the pillar of the horse, and said casually.

Ma Riyan laughed, "What kind of conspiracy smells, it's just that some people are not angry when they are deposed." ”

Yang Biao glanced at Ma Riyan, "I have the impression that you and Ding Yuanxiong were once close friends?" ”

Ma Riyan hurriedly said to him, "Old man, don't put this powder on my face, I just came out of the West Garden not long ago, and I really don't want to go back to build the wall." I did have some friendship with Ding Gong in the past, but I really can't get used to his behavior of quoting scriptures when he says a word. ”

Yang Biao looked at the blocked streets, shook his head and sighed, "What a grand occasion!" ”

"I heard that Ding Gong has scolded a lot of people recently? Have you ever heard of it, old gentleman! Ma Riyan asked.

Yang Biao shook his head, "Because he also scolded me, so I haven't heard of it." ”

Ma Riyan: ......
