Chapter Eighty-Nine: No Forgiveness

Runan County Government.

Taishou Wang Kuang was tied to the ground, his face was full of fierceness, he glared at Cao Cao, and scolded: "Cao Cao, if you slaughter the Runan Shi clan today, he will be crushed to pieces one day!" ”

Cao Cao sat on the seat of the Taishou, looked at him, and said, "Pity." ”

Wang Kuang straightened his neck and said, "I'm not afraid of life and death, how can I be pitiful!" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "The Yuan family is ambushed, you are already a lost dog, mourning and barking, isn't it pitiful!" ”

"You!" Wang Kuang was furious.

Xiahoudun came in at this time and said, "Mengde, everything is ready." ”

Cao Cao stood up and said, "Pack Wang Taishou and send it to Luoyang." ”

With a wave of his hand, several soldiers rushed in and dragged Wang Kuang out.

Wang Kuang saw that Cao Cao did not kill him, but his expression was relieved, and he swallowed back the words he was ready to scold.

As soon as Wang Kuang left, Xiahoudun said dissatisfiedly: "Meng De, that Xu Ziyuan has accepted it, and I want to send troops to escort him back to his hometown." This person is greedy for money and lustful, forgetting righteousness for profit, he is really a villain, why should Meng Deling value him so much. ”

Cao Cao's face did not move, he looked outside, and said with a leisurely gaze: "If I can be the general of Zhengxi and open a government office in the future, I will lack a wise man." ”

Xiahou was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

Cao Cao's background was despised by the scholars, and before he succeeded, there were not many people who were willing to serve as his staff.

It's a catch one by one.

And Xu Yu received a heavy gift, but he still had to wait for Cao Cao to become a climate.

"Collect the troops and go back to Nanyang."

Cao Cao didn't care about money, so he strode out.

……

Luoyang Imperial Palace.

The sky was slightly bright, and Liu Wei woke up covered in sweat.

He felt very tired all over, but he was in a particularly good mental state, and he was more awake than ever.

In the study, Liu Wei was wrapped in a blanket, drinking hot tea, and listening to Zuo Li talk about things inside and outside the palace.

Zuo Li stood respectfully not far away, carefully worded, and said: "Your Majesty, Shang Shutai has arrested a total of seventy-three members of the Yuan family, all of whom are locked up in the Tingwei Mansion. The villain arrested sixteen people and locked them up in the Huangmen North Temple Prison. ”

Seeing that Liu Wei did not speak, Zuo Li continued: "The prince was very dissatisfied with this and asked the Tingwei Mansion to continue the arrest, but the Tingwei Mansion shirked on the grounds of 'no evidence'. ”

Hearing this, Liu Wei took a sip of tea and nodded secretly, Zhong Xuan still knew how to measure.

Zuo Li heard the sound of drinking tea, paused, and said, "Taiwei Dong wanted to go out of the city among the people, but was stopped by the villain. ”

Liu Wei frowned, and said with a smile: "Not bad." ”

Zuo Li's eyes flashed with excitement, and he hurriedly said, "The villain doesn't dare." Your Majesty, Situ and Sikong were in Sikong Mansion and did not come out overnight. Dr. Yang did not go to Shangshutai yesterday on the grounds of family matters. ”

Liu Wei wrapped himself in a blanket and said nonchalantly: "Go on." ”

Zuo Li lowered his head, hesitated, and said: "Yesterday, the Queen Mother seemed to be about to make an edict, but in the end, she didn't. Tang Taishou once interceded with the prince for the Yuan family, but the prince ignored it. ”

Liu Wei held the teacup and nodded silently.

Empress Dowager He is not an assertive woman, the closer she is, the greater the influence on her, and now the closest person is his son.

'Tang Mao ......'

Liu Wei thought of this cheap old man, who was obviously a man of success.

At this time, Pan Yin came in, handed over a few notebooks, and said, "Your Majesty, this is sent by Shang Shutai last night. ”

Liu Wei stretched out his hand to take it, turning it over with one hand.

The first is Wang Yun's, asking Liu Wei to issue an edict to completely liquidate the Yuan family and his henchmen.

Liu Wei shook his head and said to himself: "This prince is a little short-sighted. ”

Pan Yin, Zuo Li lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard.

The second is a joint recital by Zhong Xuan and Xun You, the main content of which is about 'tax transfer', and it is requested to be implemented in the division to see the results.

Liu Wei picked up the teacup with a thoughtful expression.

Zhong Xuan, Xun You's proposal is indeed very good, but the captain of Sili is now the leader of Huangfu Song, and before it is implemented, he has to find a suitable captain of Sili.

Liu Wei thought, stretched out his hand and flipped over the next one, this is a joint intercession for the Yuan family, he looked at the signature, and threw it aside.

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Wei looked up at the two people in front of him and said, "Is there anything else to say about the Yuan family?" ”

Pan Yin didn't speak, and glanced at Zuo Li.

Zuo Li's expression became more and more cautious, and he said in a slight tone: "Back to Your Majesty, there are rumors outside, there are all kinds of things, and the villain is pressing." ”

Liu Wei felt a little pain in his head, sat down for a long time, and said: "The way to deal with rumors is to have more rumors, and the pressure is not enough, you go and put some more outrageous rumors." For example, the grievances and hatred between the eunuch party and the Yuan family; The Yang family and the Yuan family fought openly and secretly; Dong Zhuo will lead his troops to wipe out the Yuan and Yang families; For another example, Wang Yun wants to kill the world's families, how outrageous can he come......"

Zuo Li listened, and instantly made up several stories in his mind, and hurriedly said: "The villain understands." ”

Liu Wei coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable again, and turned over the last one.

Sweeping his eyes, Liu Wei's brows suddenly frowned.

As soon as Ding Yuan arrived in Yanzhou, he suffered a defeat, but fortunately, his soldiers were brave and rescued him, and he had to retreat to Jiyin County and ask the imperial court to send troops to support.

"Here are the consequences."

Liu Wei sighed lightly and said, "Spread the decree, Xu Rong will enter Yanzhou and be dispatched by Ding Yuan." Cao Cao's troops were stationed in Hanoi. ”

Yanzhou was already in chaos, and now it is about to add chaos to chaos.

"Yes." Pan Yin responded.

Liu Wei sweated profusely on his head, took another sip of hot tea, stood up and said, "I will go back to sleep for a while, and someone will block the car." ”

"The villain takes the order." Pan Yin and Zuo Li responded at the same time.

Liu Wei wrapped himself in a blanket, walked out of the study, and returned to the dormitory.

Tang Ji had just woken up and was getting dressed, when Liu Wei saw this, he got on the bed and hugged her and said, "Sleep with me for a while." ”

Tang Ji pursed her lips, her pretty face was pink, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, your body is important......

"Sleep is sleep, don't be cranky." Liu Wei pulled her into his arms and covered her with the quilt.

Tang Ji was lying in Liu Wei's arms, and seeing that he didn't mean to ask for it, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and tucked the quilt for him.

……

The sky was getting brighter, and Wang Yun entered the palace early in the morning.

The palace was deserted, except for the guards on duty, there were almost no chamberlains and palace maids.

Wang Yun entered the Shangshutai, came to his place and knelt down, then raised his head and looked around indifferently.

Yuan Kui's position is empty, the position of Ding Gong of the Third Duke, Liu Hong, and Dong Zhuo is empty, and Yang Biao's position is also empty.

In the huge Shangshu platform, he was alone.

A strange look appeared on Wang Yun's face, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

In a moment, he returned to normal, bowing his head to handle the notebook on the table.

This sat down until dawn, and people began to move around Shangshutai.

Wang Yun looked at the copy of the Hanzhong Taishou in his hand requesting an increase in the number of troops, ignored it, put it aside, and said to the Zhonghuang Gate not far away: "Your Majesty has recovered?" ”

Zhonghuangmen hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Back to the prince, the villain doesn't know." ”

Wang Yun lowered his head and thought about it, and heard the sound of footsteps coming in outside, turned his head to look, and saw Zhong Xuan and Xun Yu coming together.

He subconsciously frowned, then sat up straight, looked indifferent, and said, "There is a result of the interrogation?" ”

Zhong Xuan saluted, and then handed over an official document, and said solemnly: "Back to the prince, the trial of the Tingwei Mansion has been completed, and the case is expected to be concluded within three days." ”

Wang Yun's face changed slightly, he took the notebook and read it quickly, turned his head to look at Zhong Xuan, the corners of his eyes jumped, he held back his anger, and said, "That's all?" ”

This official document, except for the Yuan family, involves less than ten people in total!

The Yuan family occupies half of the imperial court, and the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, but there are only less than ten small henchmen!

Zhong Miao raised his hand and said, "Yes." The crime of the Yuan family lies in colluding with the Yellow Turban bandits, which is rebellion. This matter is confidential, not many people know about it, and there are even fewer participants, so there are only so many. ”

Wang Yun looked directly at Zhong Xuan, his eyes were like ice, and said, "Zhong Tingwei, what do you mean?" ”

Seeing this, Xun You hurriedly said: "Prince, the Yuan family's involvement is too sensitive to be punished, and it needs to be broken as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people in the world." ”

Wang Yun looked at him, his anger was even worse, and he suddenly realized something, his expression became more and more indifferent, and said; "Zhong Tingwei, Xun Shangshu, could it be that among them, what should the old man not know?"

Is this an allusion to their cover-up?

Xun You was stunned and said: "Prince, this law is all for the sake of the overall situation, and there is no selfishness. ”

Wang Yun snorted coldly, forced his eyes at the two, and said: "Eliminate the evil, otherwise you will be devoured, such a simple truth, do you need the old man to teach you?" ”

Seeing that Wang Yun refused to give up, Zhong Xuan explained more seriously: "Prince, how many people in the world can escape?" Not to mention anything else, the prince and the Yuan family also have in-laws, right? ”

Wang Yun intuitively felt a fever on his face, his eyes kept blinking, the anger in his heart was difficult to contain, his chest rose and fell, and he shouted in a low voice: "Then you can't do it like this, you must make an example of a hundred to set an example!" All the henchmen in the capital are caught, and no one can slip through the net! ”

Xun You and Zhong Xuan looked at each other, what Wang Yun said was actually not unreasonable, but the problem is that now is not a peaceful and prosperous era, if you do what Wang Yun said, the world will inevitably shake, the people's hearts will deviate, and it will do no harm to the court and the Han Dynasty!

Zhong Xuan and Xun You both saw the difficulties in their eyes, and they didn't know how to stop Wang Yun's insistence.

I can't say that this is what His Majesty in the palace meant, right?

On the surface, His Majesty in the palace is sick, and he has never participated in the Yuan family's case, or even knows about it.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Wang Yun forcibly suppressed his anger, took out a document from his arms, and said, "Xun Shangshu, you can arrange it." ”

Xun Yu was puzzled, and took it and opened it.

This is an appointment document, appointing twelve people, including Li Ruwei and Cao Shangshu, except for Shangshutai, all over Jiuqing, all of them are important official positions.

Xun You saw that Wang Yun told him so clearly, and he had the heart to refuse, and he would go to the palace to ask Liu Wei later, but Wang Yun, who was in charge of the matter of Lu Shangshu, was in charge of Xing Cao, and it was his power to appoint Xing Cao Shangshu.

Xun You hesitated for a moment and said, "Prince, according to the rules of Shangshutai, this matter needs to be agreed by more than half of the dukes. ”

Wang Yun snorted, turned around and sat back, and said, "Then you go and ask them." ”

When Zhong Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Wang Yun with a hint of surprise.

If you really want to take this document and ask those people, Ding Gong, Liu Hong will probably not have an opinion, and Dong Zhuo and Yang Biao are unlikely to object.

Wang Yun's appointment document will hardly be hindered!

Xun You also thought of it, his eyes moved, and he raised his hand and said, "The subordinate will receive the order." ”

Zhong Yu saw that he agreed to come down, and was about to speak, but Xun Yu pulled him and went out together.

Wang Yun's eyes lingered on their backs coldly, thinking about his powerful plan.

Out of the door of Shangshutai, Zhong Xuan couldn't help but say: "Xun Shangshu, the prince is clearly going to cultivate a private person, how can you agree?" ”

Xun You patted the document in his hand and said with a smile: "On this paperwork, I will send someone to consult the princes, and there may not be results in three or five days." ”

Zhong Xuan suddenly understood, smiled, and then restrained his smile, and said solemnly: "We want to conclude the trial as soon as possible, what if the prince disagrees?" ”

Wang Yun was a scholar of Lu Shangshu, and the others were silent, if Wang Yun insisted on Zhu Lian and ordered Cao and other temples to continue to arrest, the two of them were powerless to stop it.

Xun You pondered, he also didn't expect that Wang Yun, who is quiet on weekdays, would have such a strong side, and he didn't do anything about those few scholars, this Shangshutai seemed to be Wang Yun on duty alone.

They must close the case as soon as possible without Liu Wei's will or intervention, and the biggest difficulty here is Wang Yun!

"Can you ask the Queen Mother to come forward and persuade the prince?" Xun You said tentatively.

Zhong Xuan shook his head decisively and said solemnly: "You can't let the Queen Mother participate in political affairs." ”

Xun You also nodded and said, "Then, please come forward?" ”

Zhong Miao thought for a while and said, "I'm worried that the prince may not buy it." ”

Xun You began to frown, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Someone from the Wang family is very close to the Yuan family, does it hint?" ”

Zhong Xuan hesitated, and then said: "You can't use it until you have to." At the latest, we can't delay it until the day after tomorrow, so let's think of other ways first. ”

Xun You hummed, and the two left side by side, continuing as they walked.

"I'll ask Dr. Yang to come forward later and appease some people."

"Yes, with Dr. Yang coming forward, it should be able to stabilize some people. Then he was asked to write a letter in the name of Shang Shutai to some people outside Beijing, especially those who were state pastors, taishou, and famous people. ”

"Good. Has the Tiger Talisman been returned? ”

"It has been taken away by Da Sima. I heard that Huiji Taishou stayed in Nangong last night? ”

"Well, there are rumors in the palace that his daughter is very popular with His Majesty."

"He is a man of integrity."

"Then has Jin Shang entered Beijing?"

"No, but the military power has been lowered, and it shouldn't be able to set off any waves."

The two of them walked out of the palace gate, and before they had gone far, many rumors were stuffed into their ears.

There was a group of people who walked past them, scrambling to talk.

"Have you heard? The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family were all bought with the eunuchs! ”

"I heard it, I heard it, the Yuan family also castrated a person to the palace for this reason, it's really ruthless......"

"You know that? Then you have heard that half of the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou are provided by the Yuan family behind their backs? ”

"I don't know this, so do you know Dong Zhuo? He is not surnamed Dong, his surname is Yuan, and he is Yuan Kui's illegitimate son! ”

Zhong Xuan, Xun You walked out of the distance with a strange expression and was speechless for a long time, Zhong Xuan couldn't help it, looked at Xun You and said, "You did it?" ”

Xun You's face was tangled, and he muttered: "I just arranged some nursery rhymes, I didn't expect it to become like this......"

The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say, so they stopped talking and went their separate ways.

……

In the evening, there were many recitals for the Yuan family, and they were full of weight, Jiuqing in the imperial court, the nearby state pastors, assassins, Taishou, etc., and there were some famous Confucians, scholars, and scholars, who wrote books one after another.

In Shangshutai, Wang Yun is still alone.

He looked at the piles of playbooks in front of him, his face gloomy, and said, "It's all for the Yuan family?" ”

The five attendants of Xing Cao stood in front of him, and one of them whispered, "Yes." ”

Wang Yun's eyes were full of fire, and he said: "There are so many henchmen in the Yuan family, Tingwei actually wants to close the case with just ten people!" ”

The five squires lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

Two of the five people were more or less related to the Yuan family, and they were worried that they would be implicated.

Wang Yun suppressed his anger, his face was indifferent, his eyes flashed for a while, he took out a note from his arms, looked at the five people expressionlessly, and said: "You take people, arrest people according to this list, and if you are caught, you will be imprisoned in the palace of the servant." ”

The five squires took the list and looked at each other, and couldn't help but change color and look at each other.

One of the attendants said with a worried expression: "Prince, there are a few people here, I'm afraid we don't have the right to arrest them." ”

Wang Yun looked at him and said, "I said that if I can catch it, I can catch it." ”

The squire looked at Wang Yun's face that was not angry, arrogant, and cold, and was shocked, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Wang Yun watched them leave, his heart was furious, and he suddenly got up, left Shangshutai, and went to Gyeongbok Palace.

He was stopped at the door by the little yellow door.

Wang Yun raised his hand and said, "Please pass it on your behalf, Wang Yun has an urgent matter to ask to see Your Majesty, 100,000 urgent!" ”

Xiao Huangmen bowed slightly and said, "The prince is late, and His Majesty has just taken medicine and slept down." ”

Wang Yun hesitated in his heart, and said for a moment: "If Your Majesty wakes up, can you tell me as soon as possible?" ”

Xiao Huangmen's face was embarrassed, and he said, "Prince, the villain is on duty, and I don't know when Your Majesty will wake up." ”

Wang Yun was silent again and again, forced unwillingly, and said, "I know." ”

As soon as he left, Zuo Li walked out slowly, looked at his back, took out a note from his arms, glanced at the name on it, shook it with a smile, and threw it to the ground.

At this time, a Zhonghuangmen came behind him and said in a low voice: "Nobleman, those five people have been loaded into a carriage and sent to the Tingwei Mansion." ”

Zuo Li hugged his hands, a touch of ruthlessness flashed on his snow-white face, and said, "Did those people find out something?" ”

Zhonghuangmen said: "There is no news yet. ”

Zuo Li snorted coldly and said, "Useless thing!" ”

He was a little anxious, worried that others would rob him of the credit, but he didn't dare to leave in the palace.

At this moment, Pan Yin came back from Canglongmen and hurried to Liu Wei's bedroom.

He didn't care if Liu Wei woke up or not, slammed the door hard, and called in a low voice: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

After two slaps, Tang Ji opened the door from the inside.

Pan Yin hurriedly saluted, and then went in, saw Liu Wei lying on the bed drinking tea, walked forward quickly, and said: "Your Majesty, Huangfu Jianchang sent news, saying that he found out that the Yuan family hid most of the money and grain in Guandu. ”

Liu Wei sat up straight, his eyes wide open, and said, "How many?" ”

He's short of money now!

Pan Yin was stunned for a moment, smiled and said, "This villain didn't ask." ”

Liu Wei frowned, looked at him angrily, thought about it and thought about it, his eyes burst into essence, and said, "There should be a lot." Huangfu Jianchang did a good job, allocated 1,000 people to him from the forbidden army, ordered him to raid it, and brought it back to Beijing. Cao Cao changed his route and went straight to Guandu, and if there was any obstruction, he would give me ...... No mercy! ”
