Xun You, Zhong Xuan once again returned from Jingfu Hall in vain, and his expression was a little dignified.

Zhong Xuan said worriedly as he walked: "Xun Shangshu, I think Your Majesty may be really sick." ”

Xun You thought for a moment and said, "However, judging from Da Changqiu's words, it should be fine." ”

Zhong Xuan nodded, his mind quickly turned to the outside of the palace, and said, "How do you think this matter should be ended?" ”

It is not difficult to deal with the Yuan family at all, the most difficult thing is to deal with the aftermath and minimize the impact.

It is foreseeable that no matter what the imperial court does, the case of the Yuan family will deal a greater blow to the prestige and control of the imperial court than the extermination of the eunuchs, and the local government will definitely be more 'respectful and distancing' to the imperial court.

Xun You glanced at him and said, "My idea is to solve the case quickly and close the case as soon as possible." ”

Zhong Miao replied decisively and said: "I think so too, then tomorrow, when Your Majesty wakes up, the case will be closed in the name of the edict, just like the eunuchs and generals, and I will not continue to pursue it here." ”

Xun You shook his head and said, "The case cannot be closed in the name of His Majesty's edict, but the Tingwei Mansion." ”

Zhong Xuan looked at him with a puzzled face, and said, "What does Xun Shangshu mean?" ”

Xu You looked at him and explained: "The case of the Yuan family was investigated and dealt with by Shangshutai, and it was concluded by the Tingwei Mansion, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty from beginning to end. ”

Zhong Xuan is an extremely smart person, he doesn't know, and said with a smile: "It's still Xun Shangshu who is smart!" ”

In doing so, he successfully preserved the 'Shengming' of His Majesty the Emperor in the palace, everything is Shang Shutai's doing, those protégés and former officials of the Yuan family, looking at the Yuan family's scholars, will only point to Shang Shutai if they are dissatisfied, and have nothing to do with Liu Wei.

Liu Wei, the emperor, is still a saint and the hope of the Han world!

As the two spoke, they came to Shangshutai.

A small official had been waiting for a long time, trotted over, and said, "Tingwei, the prince tortured the Yuan family to extract a confession in the Tingwei Mansion and asked for the list of their henchmen. ”

Xun You, Zhong Xuan's expression changed slightly, it was obvious that Wang Yun didn't want to end here.

"I'm going to stop the Prince!" Zhong Xuan said and walked quickly. This case must not be delayed, and it must be concluded as soon as possible and cleared up.

Xun Yu watched him leave and turned his head into Shangshutai.

When Zhong Miao rushed back to the Tingwei Mansion, almost all the people in the Yuan family, except for Yuan Kui, were tortured.

Wang Yun was far away from the execution room, and from time to time he looked at the interrogation records sent by the torturers, and his face never got better.

He felt that the lists were not right, or that they were insufficient.

Zhong Xuan walked in, raised his hand and smiled: "Prince, there are so many things outside, why spend it in my little court mansion." ”

The Yuan family was arrested, and the pot was already fried outside, and the court needed to do something to appease him.

Dong Zhuo didn't show up, Yang Biao avoided suspicion, Situ and Sikong were hidden, and now only Wang Yun can do things.

Wang Yun had a gloomy face and said, "Eliminate the evil, if you can't get rid of the Yuan family, there will be endless troubles!" ”

Seeing Wang Yun's attitude, Zhong Xuan pretended to be worried and said: "Prince, the protégés of the Yuan family are all over the world, if you really want to investigate, most of the scholars will be implicated. ”

Wang Yun didn't raise his head and said, "What does Tingwei want to say?" ”

Zhong Xuan's heart jumped inexplicably, he felt a danger from Wang Yun's words, paused, and said: "Prince, the overall situation of the court is important, so leave it to the lower officials here, and when the interrogation is over, the lower officials will present it to Shang Shutai." ”

Wang Yun suddenly raised his head violently, stared at Zhong Xuan, his eyes were cold, and said, "Are the henchmen of the Yuan family already being arrested?" ”

Zhong Xuan bowed slightly and said, "This ...... The lower officials don't know. ”

Wang Yun's face was a little ugly, threw away the confession in his hand, and left directly.

He remembered that he had obtained the confession from the Huangmen North Temple Prison, which showed that the palace had already prepared, and there was no need for him to be tried here at all!

Seeing that Wang Yun was gone, Zhong Miao breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the torture room.

As soon as I saw it, I saw more than 20 men from the Yuan family, all of whom were tied to the torture rack, one by one, begging constantly.

Zhong Xuan's expression was complicated, he sighed lightly, and said, "Put them down and take care of them." ”

The jailer was a little strange, but still said, "The villain takes the order." ”

Zhong Xuan came out of the cell, summoned a cadre from the Tingwei Mansion, held a secret meeting, and prepared to quickly finalize the case of the Yuan family.

Xun in the palace was busy, going in and out, without stopping for a moment.

One of the Lu Shang scholars was not there, and it was all up to him to support him, not only to deal with things, but also to appease people's hearts up and down, and to go to Gyeongbok Hall from time to time to find out the news.

He is a scholar who was suddenly promoted to a high grade, and he is soft-spoken, but now he seems to be recording a scholar's affairs.

And Wang Yun, who recorded Shangshushi, was not idle, and found Li Ru again.

As soon as the two sat down, Li Ru raised his hand and congratulated: "The prince has eliminated thieves for the country this time, and his merit is in the community, and his name will go down in history and leave a name for eternity!" ”

Wang Yun's appearance is very ordinary, his eyebrows are flat and pleasing to the eyes, his facial features are not fat, thin, square or round, and he is usually unsociable, and he is the most ordinary and inconspicuous one when he is thrown into the crowd.

He didn't have any joy, but his face was unwilling, and said: "Eliminate the evil, Yang Biao and Dong Zhuo are still at ease, if these two thieves are not eliminated, there will be disasters in the future!" ”

What!

Li Ru was shocked, Wang Yun actually wanted to wipe out Yang Biao and Dong Zhuo? Aren't you afraid of the sky falling?

He quickly calmed down and said, "Prince, the matter of the Yuan family is earth-shattering enough, and the Yang family must not be added!" ”

The Yang family, like the Yuan family, is the fourth generation and the third prince, and they are famous all over the world, and if they cut off these two families at once, they can't do it without frying the world.

Wang Yun understood this, but he was still unwilling, and said with a calm face: "If the two thieves are not removed, the case will definitely be overturned for the Yuan family in the future!" ”

This is also one of the important reasons why He Jin and others vowed to kill the eunuchs.

Seeing that Wang Yun had no intention of giving up, Li Ru's eyes moved, and he bowed slightly and said: "Prince, at this time, you must grasp the power, establish prestige, and have the authority in your hand, it is as easy as a snap!" ”

Wang Yuncha is poor in prestige, before Liu Wei ascended the throne, he was just a sixth Cao Shangshu, with neither a family foundation nor political prestige.

Wang Yun looked at him and said, "How should I erect my authority?" ”

Li Ru leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Prince, since ancient times, Liwei has been nothing more than killing people and giving grace, and now is a godsend!" ”

Wang Yun looked at Li Ru, nodded lightly after a long time, and then said: "Wen You, Xing Cao Shangshu, do you mean it?" ”

Li Ru's elegant temperament, he hesitated when he heard the words, and seemed to be embarrassed, and after a long time, his expression was certain, and he said: "It's not for fame, I am willing to be driven by the prince's affairs!" ”

Wang Yun smiled, got up and reached out to take Li Ru's hand, and said, "With Wenyou's help, why worry about big things!" ”

……

In the evening, Cao Cao and Xu Rong arrived in Runan County.

Xu Rong surrounded, Cao Cao led his troops to approach, he sat on the horse, his face was cold, and his long narrow eyes were full of murderous intent.

At the head of Runan City, Taishou Wang Kuang looked at Cao Cao and shouted: "Meng De, the army is coming to the city, what is the so-called?" ”

Cao Cao reined in his horse and shouted: "I am ordered to get rid of the thief, please open the city gate immediately!" ”

"Is there a king's will?" Wang Kuang shouted from afar.

Cao Cao said: "Does Yuan Shao have a will to enter the Forbidden Palace? Does Yuan Shu have a king's order to exterminate the eunuchs? ”

The city was quiet for a moment, and Wang Kuang said: "Since there is no king's will, I can't open the city gate, please ask Meng De to ask for a decree!" ”

Cao Cao pulled out his knife violently and said in a deep voice: "Open the door, or the city will be broken, Wang Taishou will be cautious!" ”

"I am selected by the imperial court, and the Runan Taishou ordered by His Majesty, Cao Cao, you must be presumptuous!" Wang Kuang at the head of the city, his voice was a little anxious, and he shouted loudly.

Cao Cao snorted coldly, didn't talk nonsense with him, turned his head and said, "How is Xu Rong over there?" ”

Xiahoudun immediately said: "The four gates are surrounded!" ”

"Siege!" Cao Cao raised his sword and shouted at Runan City.

When Wang Kuang saw it, he roared angrily: "Cao Cao, are you going to rebel?!" ”

Xiahoudun didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly led the army to attack the city.

The county soldiers in Runan are only 2,000 people, and they are divided into four gates, how can they be able to defeat 20,000 officers and soldiers!

The shouts of killing were everywhere, and not long after, the north gate of Runan County suddenly opened from the inside, and Xiahoudun led his troops to kill, but all those who resisted were killed, without mercy.

Runan County is a big county, with many families and many famous people, and for a time there were mourning all over the wilderness, screaming and screaming.

An hour later, Cao Cao rode into the city, and Runan County, which was under martial law, was slaughtered except for blood.

Xiahoudun came over with his horse, glanced at Cao Cao, and nodded heavily.

The 'comfortable' expression on Cao Cao's face flashed, and he approached and said, "Killed them all?" ”

Xiahoudun hummed heavily and said, "There are more than 1,000 people, and there is no room left, but Yuan Shu still hasn't been found." ”

Cao Cao's narrow eyes had more murderous intent, but he looked up at the sky and laughed: "Then Yuan Benchu, Yuan Highway, has always despised me, ridiculed my background, deceived my family, and couldn't live a lifetime, but now what?!" ”

The fourth world and the third prince turned into dust in an instant!

Xiahoudun waited for Cao Cao to finish laughing, and said, "Meng De, some people want to see you." ”

Cao Cao restrained his smile and said indifferently: "No one will see you!" ”

"Ahh Ahu! ”

Before he could finish speaking, someone shouted not far away.

Cao Cao frowned, turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man with a big brain, bald hair, sparse beard, and dirty clothes, waving his hand to him vigorously.

"Ziyuan!"

Cao Cao was first shocked and then delighted, walked over quickly, and said, "Why are you?" ”

Ziyuan, Xu Yu's word.

Xu You was overjoyed when he saw that Cao Cao still recognized him, and said to the person behind him: "Don't panic, I and Ah Pu are old friends, and we will not embarrass us." ”

Behind Xu You, there were more than a dozen men and women of different ages, and it could be seen from their clothes that they must be children of the family.

The crowd nodded again and again, looking at Cao Cao with a gaze that was both fearful and flattering.

Cao Cao turned a blind eye and pulled Xu You out, and the old friend smiled when he reunited: "Ziyuan, it's really you!" ”

Five years ago, Xu You was still in the capital, a good ranger, and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others were all friends.

Xu You shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "It's hard to say, I wanted to live in Runan temporarily, but I never wanted to encounter such a disaster." ”

Cao Cao immediately said: "Yuan Rang, you arrange Ziyuan to bathe and eat, and when I finish cooking, I will sleep with Ziyuan." ”

"Ah, I'm busy, busy." Xu Yu repeatedly, he saw too many people being killed, and he was terrified, but he was only a little stable at the moment.

Yuan Rang, the word of Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun didn't say anything, and took Xu You and others to find a place for them to rest.

Cao Cao razed the three clans of the Yuan family on this side, and on the other hand, he summoned the famous people of the Runan family, ate and drank well, talked well, and tried his best to appease.

When Cao Cao made the Yuan family's guilt clear, even though many people were still frightened, they could finally understand it and reluctantly accepted the fact that the Yuan family was not subordinate and the three clans were destroyed.

In the evening, Cao Cao took off his armor and held a banquet with Xu You, during which the two talked about the past without emotion.

After a full meal and wine, the two fell asleep together.

Xu You slept inside, sideways outward, Cao Cao was outside, sideways inward, the two faced each other, and they could feel each other's breathing.

Cao Cao was drunk, his face was flushed, and he said: "Ziyuan, now that the Yuan thief has entered, the eastern capital has a lot to do, I don't know, what does it mean?" ”

Xu You also drank a lot, laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I think that Dongdu is the most dangerous place now, far from the time when peace can be done." ”

Cao Cao looked at him, his eyes searching.

Xu You smiled, and suddenly said: "I heard that Ah Pu Sheng's family is Zhenglong, Your Majesty attaches great importance to you?" ”

Cao Cao was very disgusted with this 'Ah Secret' in his heart, but his face did not move, and said: "It's true, I have done a few bad things, and the court has a lot of complaints, and I should dismiss the official and ask for the guilt, thanks to Your Majesty's protection." ”

Xu You's expression was correct, and he said, "Ah Gou, the more this is the case, the more you should stay away." The husband is alive, it is nothing more than the word 'merit', you know, this 'merit' is not between the trivial roosters, but when the tide is turned. ”

Cao Cao's heart was shocked, and then he frowned, his face struggling.

Xu You saw it, and said more and more sincerely: "Ah Gou, I know that you have the heart to repay the king, but you are in the Eastern Capital, and you have no great opportunity, so you just waste your time in vain." Today, the Han Dynasty is in decline, and the smoke is rising, which is where heroes come into play, how can they be trapped in a city? ”

Cao Cao's mind was attracted by the word 'meritorious service', and said, "Please also ask Ziyuan to teach me." ”

Although Xu You was drunk, his thinking was very quick, and he said without thinking: "Now the thirteen states, Yizhou is occupied by Liu Yan, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou are all a corner of the place, and it is not the foundation of success. Secluded and barren land for the border. Qing, Yan, need, Yu, in the Central Plains, talent gathering, land is abundant, population is large, if you stand firm, big things can be expected! ”

Cao Cao's expression did not move, and there was a hint of excitement hidden in the depths of his long narrow eyes, and he said, "Then, where is the safest place?" ”

Xu You didn't speak immediately, pondered again and again, and said, "Yu." ”

Cao Cao lowered his eyes when he heard this, and groaned.

Seeing this, Xu Yu immediately understood Cao Cao's shortcomings.

After Cao Cao was born as a eunuch, he was despised by scholars, and the people around him were all reckless members of the Cao and Xiahou families, and they had no right-hand men.

Xu Yu immediately said: "If Ah Pu can have the opportunity to show his strengths, he is willing to be the shogunate!" ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, hurriedly sat up, raised his hand and said: "If you have to bend far away to help, you will not lose!" ”

Xu You sat up, pressed his hand and said with a smile: "You and I are close friends, why do you need to be like this." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, pulled Xu You to lie down again, and said, "Ziyuan, please tell me in detail." ”

Xu You and Cao Cao came face to face, smiling confidently and proudly, and said: "Then I'll talk to Ah Pu, first of all, why can't this Luoyang City stay......"

Cao Cao had automatically ignored the word 'A-Secret', and his face was full of asking for advice, listening carefully.

The two of them talked and listened, asked and answered until dawn.

In the evening of the next day, Xu Youcai woke up quietly.

When I woke up, I saw several large boxes next to the bed.

A delicate maid came in, bent down and said, "Mr. Xu, it was Cao Zhonglang who sent the order." ”

Xu You got out of bed and saw a large box of money, gold and silver, and many valuables, worth tens of millions.

Xu You touched his sparse beard, and there was a satisfied smile on his face.
