Gongcao.

A group of waiters, Lang Zhong squeezed into Wu Jing's duty room, their faces were full of melancholy, and they were talking nonsense.

"Shangshu, what's going on? It's good, why is the city closed in broad daylight? ”

"Yes, Shangshu, what are Shang Shutai and Da Sima Mansion going to do? The Yulin Army has already taken to the streets, this, this, will not be ...... again ...... again"

"Shangshu, if something happens, you have to protect us for the sake of your colleagues......"

"Shangshu, can you tell me what's going on? Isn't it, someone is plotting rebellion, right? ”

Wu Jing was troubled by the noise, but he was helpless.

He didn't know what was going on, the Yulin Army closed the city very suddenly, and Shang Shutai didn't have any news in advance.

And that big and small Qiao had just been sent to the palace, and Wu Jing didn't dare to contact him rashly, so as not to make the palace suspicious.

Wu Jing was one head and two big, and he didn't know how to appease these people, so the person on duty came in and said, "Shangshu, friend Xun invites you to go to Cao." ”

Wu Jingru was amnestied, hurriedly stood up, and said, "You are waiting for this official here." ”

The others responded one after another, knowing that this was the imperial court, and watched Wu Jing leave anxiously.

After Wu Jing arrived, in Xun You's duty room, there were already Sima Jun, Huangfu Jianshou, Kong Rong and a large group of heads of the six Cao and nine temples.

Although Xun You is the official Cao Shangshu, he is still the right servant, and he is the leader of the 'Yingchuan Party', no one dares to be careless, and sits on both sides.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xun You's face was indifferent, and he said straight to the point: "There are some things that I don't want to say all along, because Your Majesty has made it clear that the past will not be investigated." The past is over, the historical reasons are too complicated, it is not appropriate to delve into it, as long as you are loyal to the work, you will still be my great Han minister. ”

Listening to Xun You's opening remarks, the crowd became inexplicably nervous, observing Xun You's expression with different eyes, and constantly guessing in their hearts.

Xun You also took in their expressions and continued: "But some people don't know how to be grateful, they are not satisfied, they are corrupt, perfunctory, prevaricated, and degenerate, and they are hopeless!" Even, some people are unpredictable, deceive the king, and are still unclear about the rebellion of the eunuchs, the Yuan family, the Dong thief, the yellow turban, etc., and they are ...... in collusion."

In the small duty room, there were more than a dozen people sitting, listening to Xun You's words, they all changed color, and a few people turned pale and their eyes were evasive.

They never thought that this would be the reason!

Thinking of Dong Zhuo's annihilation and Yuan Shao's bulge, some people were cold and shivering.

I see!

Xun You noticed some expressions, his eyes were cold, and he said lightly: "This official is not a ruthless person, now give you a chance, if you are implicated in everything, you will write it in detail, and the official who can protect it will definitely protect it, if you are lucky, you will resist stubbornly, once it is verified, the three clans will be destroyed!" ”

In the small duty room, there is no sound.

Only five years have passed since the period of the first emperor, and who can clear up the relationship with the eunuchs, Yuan, etc.

Even Huangfu Jianshou, Wu Jing, and Kong Rong were all silent, thinking about the past.

Others were even more terrified.

In those years, the eunuch party sold official titles under the banner of the first emperor and forcibly asked for bribes, and almost all those who were promoted during that period went to the West Garden to send money.

And the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the protégés and former officials are all over the world, even if it is not direct, you have to consider the relationship between twists and turns.

When they were silent, Xun You said again: "After I go back, ask the people under your hands, tell me the truth, as long as you explain honestly, this official will try to ensure that they don't die." ”

Sima Jun slowly raised his head and said, "Xun servant shooting, can you really keep them from dying?" ”

As soon as Sima Jun spoke, everyone looked at him in shock, and then turned to Xun Yu with an expectant face.

Xun You didn't expect that someone really opened his mouth to ask, and looked at Sima Jun with an indifferent expression.

Although the Sima family is also from Yingchuan, Sima Jun has clever means and maintains a short distance from the 'Yingchuan Party', and is recognized by the government and the opposition as a person who is "single-minded and has no distractions".

Sima Jun met Xun You's gaze, and said calmly with an old face: "Don't hide it, some people in Xingcao are Yuan's apprentices and grandchildren, once the news comes out, I'm worried that they won't be able to eat and sleep, which will affect the affairs of Xingcao." ”

Xun You didn't know whether to approve or disapprove of his explanation, and said: "If it is a disciple and a grandson, and he has some dealings with Yuan Shao and his ilk, it is understandable, as long as it is truthfully stated, the official will once again make it clear in public: protect them from death." ”

Sima Jun didn't know whether Xun You was sincere or fake, so he raised his hand and said, "The lower officials thank the servants on their behalf." ”

Seeing Xun You's attitude, the others relaxed slightly, and the tense color on their faces slowly relaxed.

Seeing this, Xun You said: "There are also some people who have joined the Five Doumi Sect, which is not in accordance with the law. Yushitai, Shangshutai, and Dasimafu will jointly issue a document prohibiting court officials, soldiers and their relatives from joining any other organization without approval, and not allowing them to participate in certain prohibited activities. ”

Most people don't care much about this, and they have taken the opportunity to respond to the peace to relieve tension.

Only a small number of people realized the potential and great danger of the Five Dou Mi Sect, and thoughtfully, did not follow along.

Xun Yu estimated the time, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "That's all I have to say, there will be various actions in the imperial court in the past few days, you have to cooperate, don't add to the chaos." For some stubborn and treacherous people who are obsessed with rebellion and disobedience, the court will never forgive! ”

Everyone present knew that the imperial court was about to make a move, and with suppressed apprehension, they all got up and raised their hands and said, "The lower officials are retiring." ”

Xun You watched them out, and his heart was contemplative.

Since the restructuring of Shangshutai, from Yang Biao to Xun Yu, there has been almost no decision to make major decisions independently, and this time it is the first time to deal with the Wudou Mijiao!

Xun Yu was worried before and after, and his thoughts were clustered.

"Servant shooting." At this moment, a man walked in, raised his hand and saluted.

When Xun You saw the comer, he nodded calmly and said, "Kong Zhang, how is it?" ”

Kong Zhang, Chen Lin's words.

Chen Lin was more calm than when he was in the General's Mansion, and said: "Xiaguan persuaded a few people, but some people seemed to be a little afraid, and he was a little afraid of Xiaguan Gu left and right. ”

Xun You snorted coldly and said, "I expected it a long time ago. Leave them alone, someone will take care of it. ”

Chen Lin sat down at Xun You's head and said with a worried face: "Servant, Shang Shutai's action this time is too big, I am worried that it will affect the innocent and damage the reputation of the imperial court." ”

Xun You instantly understood Chen Lin's words, it was not the imperial court whose reputation was damaged, but the 'Yingchuan Party' representing the imperial court.

Once the family begins to resent the 'Yingchuan Party', the consequences will be serious and long-lasting.

Xun You didn't care, and said: "I have done my best, not to mention, why am I afraid of them?" Kong Zhang, you draw up a code of conduct for officials, and then communicate with the Yushitai and report to Shangshutai. ”

Chen Lin saw that Xun You's mind had been decided, and he knew that Shangshutai's side was more determined and had nothing to change, so he had to say: "Servant, we still need to be appeased afterwards." ”

Xun You, who was already about to get up, suddenly sat down when he heard this, looked at Chen Lin with strange eyes, and said, "Kong Zhang, in your eyes, has the imperial court always been based on grace, but in fact, it is indecisive, cowardly and incompetent?" ”

Chen Lin was stunned and said, "Why did the servant shoot say this?" ”

Xun You looked at him and said, "Isn't it? ”

Chen Lin thought that since he succeeded to the throne today, he did take good care of the family, but that was the appearance, the imperial court had been quietly suppressing the family, especially in Jizhou, with many big and small things, the Jizhou family was almost out of breath.

"Not really." Chen Lin said. But he didn't say more, the treasury was embarrassed, and in many things, especially the stability of the place, the imperial court was dependent on the local families for a long time, and they were invisibly given privileges. Even now, many local officials, such as the county magistrate, the taishou, and even the state minister, are far less effective than the words of the family.

As for the Holy Decree, it is not as good as those presiding officers.

This is an established fact that has been formed over many years and cannot be changed in a short period of time.

Xun You nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, then let's decide first." ”

Chen Lin raised his hand and said, "The subordinate will receive the order." ”

Xun You watched Chen Lin leave again, his face was a little indifferent, and he said to himself: "The majesty of the imperial court, it's time to reshape ......"

At the same time, Dali Temple.

Qin Zheng, the young man of Dali Temple, was walking back and forth in the duty room at the moment, looking at the doorman from time to time, his face was full of anxiety and cold sweat.

I don't know how long it took, a small official hurriedly ran over, panting and said: "Shaocheng, I heard it, saying that the Wudou Rice Sect had collusion with Dong Zhuo and other rebels, and some court officials joined in with bad intentions. ”

Qin Zheng rushed to him in one step and said urgently: "You heard clearly, it's Dong Zhuo, not anyone else?" ”

The little official was taken aback by him, and hesitated: "Villain, villain go to listen again?" ”

Qin Zheng's face turned fierce, but he held back his anger and shouted, "Don't go quickly!" ”

It was the first time for the little official to see Qin Zheng's appearance, and he responded in horror, and ran away with a crawl.

Qin Zheng stood in place, staring at the door with flickering eyes, his heart was in a hurry.

The city is closed, and there is no way to escape, so I can only find someone to protect it......

"I don't know if Wang Lang will read it for my sake of following him wholeheartedly, protect me this time!"

Qin Zheng was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was extremely anxious.

He did join the Five Dou Mi Sect, but this is not a big deal, as long as the Five Dou Mi Sect does not rebel like Zhang Jiao, everything can be turned around.

What he was worried about was that the imperial court would investigate some things that were not secret, by cleaning up the Wudou Rice Sect.

For example, he exchanged letters with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao many times!

At the same time, at the east gate of Luoyang City, some ordinary people and business travelers lined up to enter the city.

Even if Luoyang is closed and only enters but cannot leave, there are still many people who have reasons to enter, and at the same time, they also think that the major events in Luoyang City have nothing to do with them.

In the crowd, there were two people who looked ordinary, but when they looked closely, they were not simply ordinary.

A young man who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, standing calmly in the crowd, his eyes were thorough, and his body was full of excitement.

He looked curiously at the crowd in front of him, especially the heavily guarded city gate, and said in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”

Huang Gai's eyes widened and said, "It should have nothing to do with us, otherwise Wu Shangshu will warn us." ”

Sun Quan hummed in a low voice and said, "I hope everything goes well on the eldest brother's side." ”

Huang Gai said: "The imperial court has approved the eldest prince to inherit the title, as long as the title arrives, everything can be decided, and no one will put a beak on it." ”

Although Sun Quan is young, he is also very knowledgeable, and said quite worriedly: "The court has no intentions, then Yuan Shao is eyeing the tiger, Liu Bei of Xuzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and we have to find a way to break the situation." ”

Huang Gai is a rough man, not so brainy, and said: "Cheng Hou must have a way." ”

The previous Cheng Hou was Sun Jian, and the current Cheng Hou is Sun Ce.

Sun Quan didn't speak, but he couldn't think of a way to break the situation in his heart.

His entry into Beijing this time was actually as a proton to reassure the imperial court.

The procession moved slowly, and finally it was their turn to reach the gates.

The soldiers guarding the door simply checked their household registration documents and the documents of the local government, then waved their hands and said, "Go in, remember, when you get to the place, don't go out and make trouble for yourself." ”

Sun Quan wanted to raise his feet and leave, but when he heard this, he said with some curiosity: "I have seen you say it many times, but what big thing is going to happen in the city?" ”

The already impatient soldier suddenly widened his eyes and said: "Boy, this is Luoyang City, put away your curiosity, if you don't want to die, you can turn back now, and when you go in, you have to learn to control your tongue!" ”

Sun Quan is the second prince in Wu County, when was he taught a lesson by guarding the city gate, he immediately turned red and was about to get angry, Huang Gai grabbed him, and said with a smile: "My son-in-law rarely goes out, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”

The soldier snorted coldly, ignored it, and continued to check.

Sun Quan was taken away, still angry, and said to Huang Gai in a weird way: "Sure enough, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the dogs guarding the door are so doggy!" ”

Huang Gai shook his head and said, "Second son, although I don't know what happened in the city, what he said is right, here, you must be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

Sun Quan couldn't be angry, but Luoyang was not Wu Jun after all, so he had to say hatefully: "Let's go see my uncle first." ”

Huang Gai nodded, escorting Sun Quan, low-key could not be more low-key, the two entered the city, and went straight to Wu Jing's mansion.

In a teahouse not far away, Cheng Yu watched Sun Quan come in, smiled and said to the emperor who was sitting and drinking tea: "Second son, this is also called second son!" ”

Huangfu Jian Chang was suddenly furious, slammed the table hard, and said: "In this world, there can only be one second son!" Sir, you send someone to arrest that Sun Quan, don't let him go to see Wu Jing, send him directly to Honglu Temple, and don't let anyone know that he has entered the city. ”

Cheng Yu thought about it, and knew the purpose of the emperor's strength, and then glanced at the city gate again, and said, "Second son, then Cao Cao is also coming." ”

Huangfu Jianchang instantly put away his jokes, stared at the city gate, and said to himself: "Cao Cao's actions, I am also suspicious, but I can't find any evidence." You say, is he really loyal, or is he hiding too well? ”

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Second son, if you say, then Wang Mang died before he usurped the rebellion, do you say, is he a great loyalty or a great traitor?" ”

Huangfu was stunned for a long time, this is a path he had never thought of, turned around and looked at Cheng Yu, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Yes, the reason why Wang Mang was able to usurp back then was because his reputation was too high, and the world was hopeful, if he died before the usurpation, wouldn't he have become a generation of famous ministers and praised through the ages?
