Chapter 470: Shangshu Typhoon Cloud

Early the next morning.

A lot of things happened in Luoyang City, and the government and the opposition talked about it.

Yu Shitai, Tingwei, and the three legal divisions of the criminal Cao received the will to formally try the case of 'Cao Cao's slaughter of the three cities'.

And victims from all over Yanzhou suddenly gathered together and shouted grievances to the three law divisions.

Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, was ordered to go out of Beijing and inspect the river.

Luan, who went out of Beijing to inspect, arrived in Hedong and was about to return to Beijing.

Cao Cao has returned to Beijing, and the news of his temporary residence in Honglu Temple has spread.

Immediately afterwards, the Cao family's various crimes such as 'encroaching on people's land', 'buying and selling officials', and 'killing people's lives' blossomed everywhere in Luoyang City.

For a while, Luoyang City seemed to explode, and all the pressure instantly rushed up and converged on the imperial court.

The public opinion that was originally temporarily suppressed by Xun You was completely ignited, demanding that Cao Cao and the Cao family be severely punished, and the entire Luoyang City should be crowned.

The chief officials of the Six Cao Nine Temples all entered the palace together, lined up in a uniform manner outside the Suzaku Gate, waiting to enter the palace.

There are even some people, ignoring these rules, entering through other doors, and instead of going to Shangshutai, they go straight to the inner court.

The three people of Shangshutai discussed briefly and hurriedly, and then waited for the chief officials of the six Cao Nine Temples in Shangshutai.

In the small conference hall of Shangshutai, there was a lot of noise for a while, and there was nothing to say.

Zhou Yi, as the Yin of Luoyang Mansion, is qualified to sit here, he is the first person who can't help but speak, and directly rushed to the soldier Cao Shangshu Huangfu Jianshou, and said loudly: "Huangfu Shangshu, what I want to ask now is whether Cao Cao still has the power of the army, and whether he can mobilize the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou and Yanzhou?" How many soldiers and horses can he mobilize in the forbidden army battalion? The forbidden army, the Yulin army, is there a relationship between him that we don't know about? ”

This sentence seemed to ignite everyone's worries, and they all looked at Huangfu Jianshou.

Huangfu Jianshou, like his father Huangfu Song, has always tried his best to avoid party strife and government and opposition battles, never thought that he was the first to be named, and thought for a moment with a calm expression, and said: "According to the rules, the Great Sima Mansion without a will has no right to transfer troops, even if it is expedient, it needs to be attached to the soldiers." ”

For this kind of official talk, which one of you here is so easy to dismiss, the new official Cao Shangshu Wang Lang directly said in a deep voice: "Huangfu Shangshu, you know the current situation very well!" Let me ask you, if the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry and the Cao family rebels, how many soldiers and horses can he mobilize? Especially in the forbidden army camp, we have to listen to the truth! ”

Everyone, including Prime Minister Xun Yu, the left servant shot Zhong Xuan, and the right servant shot Xun Yu all looked at Huangfu Jianchang, their eyes burning, and they were extremely vigilant.

In recent years, Cao Cao is the person with the most military achievements in the Han Dynasty, fighting in the south and the north, and his fierce generals are like clouds, and he has countless soldiers and horses, and his pace is all over the eight northern states.

No one knows how many people are loyal to him, how many people will follow him, how many soldiers and horses, and how many places will be in flames of war if he rebels!

Facing the gaze of these people, Huangfu Jianshou's face was slightly gloomy, and he thought carefully and said, "I don't know. ”

Kong Rong's face changed immediately, he almost stood up, glared at Huangfu Jianshou and said, "You don't know? You are a soldier Cao Shangshu, all of whom belong to my Han soldiers and horses, you don't know, who knows? ”

Xun You couldn't sit still, the corners of his face were like iron, and his voice said with warning and sincerity: "Huangfu Shangshu, now is a very critical juncture, you tell me the truth, just two things, first, Luoyang City and the vicinity, is it safe?" Second, is the forbidden army camp controllable? ”

Not to mention the others, it is the same as Huangfu Jianshou, Chen Gong and others, who are hiding from the party dispute, are also looking at Huangfu Jianshou at this moment, with unconcealed worry and uneasiness on their faces.

Cao Cao has always been regarded as the first favored person of His Majesty today, from the accompanying expedition to Qingzhou Xiongnu, then Yanzhou Qiaomao, Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, Jizhou Black Mountain Army, and then to Yuzhou, Xuzhou Dong Zhuo, etc., he has made great achievements, commanding countless soldiers and horses, and now his generals are scattered in various states.

Once Cao Cao was forced to rebel openly, the consequences were unimaginable.

It was at this time that the big figures in the court discovered that Cao Cao was so terrifying, even if he was a prisoner, it still made him tremble and be extremely jealous.

In the continuous persecution, Huangfu Jianshou thought about it and had to say: "General Yuzhou is Liu Bei, so there should be no big problem." Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou...... Yanzhou is difficult to say, but Huang Zhong is credible, he has an army of 40,000 in his hands. As for the forbidden army camp, Cao Cao stayed in the forbidden army camp for a long time, and there was no way to judge the officials. As for Luoyang City...... There is absolutely no problem with the forbidden army, and there is no obstacle for the Yulin army. ”

Everyone heard the hesitation and conservatism in Huangfu Jianshou's words, and Xu You, the criminal Cao Shangshu, stretched his head and said, "If, just in case, how should it be arranged?" ”

Huangfu Jianshou raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and then said to the three people in front: "Prime Minister, the lower officials think that things have not yet reached that point, so there is no need to be so flustered." ”

Not allowing Xun Yu to speak, Wang Lang snorted coldly and said, "It's already reached that point!" Once Cao Cao rebels, it will inevitably rise suddenly, where can we arrange it calmly! Huangfu Shangshu, you have a lot to do, and you must not be lucky! ”

Huangfu Jianshou was speechless by this sentence, but he couldn't say some of the things he knew.

As early as half a month ago, he received an order to adjust the camp of the forbidden army, and there was also a team of soldiers and horses stationed not far outside Luoyang City.

Yes, he was silent.

He was silent, which aroused the other people to be frightened and uneasy, and Chen Lin took over the conversation and asked a question that he thought everyone was concerned about, and said, "Your Majesty's Luan is driving in Hedong, is it safe?" ”

As soon as Zhong Xuan heard Chen Lin ask this, he immediately interrupted: "Okay, don't argue, listen to the prime minister first." ”

As soon as Zhong Xuan spoke, he immediately stopped the more fierce quarrel that was about to break out, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on him.

At the end of the day, the top three are the ones who make the decisions.

Xun Yu sat upright, his expression was indifferent and majestic, and said: "First, Cao Cao is in Honglu Temple, and he has not yet been judged, so there will be no change for the time being. Second, Cao Cao is not a great Sima, and he can't move the soldiers and horses of the forbidden army battalion. Third, in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places, His Majesty has already made arrangements, and there is nothing wrong with it. Fourth, with regard to Cao Cao's case, Shang Shutai's request was that the three legal divisions should adjudicate the case on the basis of 'conclusive evidence and no doubts', and no one else should interfere. Fifth, the main purpose of this meeting is twofold: First, to set the tone for Cao Cao's case and resolve it as soon as possible. Second, it is about Cao's 'encroachment on people's land, buying and selling officials', because it involves the former lieutenant, so we have to be cautious. Other matters are beyond the scope of this discussion. ”

Everyone listened to Xun Yu's words, and their expressions gradually settled down.

As long as Cao Cao can't mobilize troops and horses and can't rebel, then other things are easy to say.

Seeing this, Zhong Xuan didn't give them a chance to rebound, and said directly to Tian Feng: "Yu Shi Cheng, King Chen Liuwang is not here, you will preside over Yu Shi Tai, what does Yu Shi Tai say about the case of 'Cao Cao Tu Three Cities'?" ”

Tian Feng immediately raised his hand and said loudly: "Back to the prime minister, the left servant shot, according to the investigation of the Imperial Historical Observatory, as well as the comprehensive Tingwei Mansion and Xingcao, it can be determined in advance that there is no such thing as a massacre of the city, which is maliciously exaggerated by someone with a heart, and the plan is unknown." ”

"Really?"

Kong Rong suddenly looked angry, and shouted at Tian Feng: "That list ......"

"Hole too often,"

Tian Feng's face did not change, and directly interrupted Kong Rong's words, and said: "After the investigation of the Yushitai, the list of nearly 1,000 people can be found There are more than 100 people, according to their confessions, because Cao Sima led the troops to suppress the bandits, they were worried about the impact, so they fled with their families and were not slaughtered. ”

Kong Rong was stunned, this was something he didn't expect, but he immediately shouted: "Then there are still seven or eight hundred people......

"Hole too often,"

Tian Feng looked at him, his expression seemed dissatisfied, and said: "This list is already fake, and the origin is unknown, can the three law divisions use such so-called evidence to judge the case?" ”

Kong Rong looked at Tian Feng, he was speechless, and then said: "Then, Cao Cao killed a lot of people, it's not fake, right?" ”

Tian Feng's face gradually became impatient, and said: "Kong Taichang, according to the supervision of the imperial history and the oral accounts of Yanzhou Prefecture Mu Liu Dai, Zhonglang General Huang Zhong and others, there was no so-called massacre, and the three cities were visited on the spot, and the streets were as usual, and a large number of people were not missing. ”

"Nonsense!"

Kong Rong was extremely angry, stood up violently, and said loudly: "Tian Feng! This is Shang Shutai, you dare to lie and deceive your superiors!? Cao Cao killed so many people in Yanzhou? Everyone is watching, you dare to open your eyes for him here, you still have Wang Fa in your eyes!? ”

Everyone was startled and looked at Kong Rong one after another, as if he was going to jump out and take off his clothes in the next moment.

Tian Feng didn't see the previous scene, but he had heard of it, he was unmoved, his eyes were cold and sharp, and he said lightly: "Kong Taichang, this official is Yu Shicheng, investigating the case and looking for circumstances, only talking about evidence." You've said so much here, but do you have any evidence? As long as you can take it out, the official will take people immediately! If you don't, you're talking nonsense and framing the courtiers, even if the official can't get you, he can go to the palace to sue you! ”

"You!"

Kong Rong was instantly angry, got up directly, and strode towards Tian Feng.

"Pull it out, pull it out!" Xun Yu shouted urgently. If Kong Rong is allowed to do something out of the ordinary, their Shangshutai and the face of the court will be lost.

A group of guards had already prepared, ran in quickly, and dragged Kong Rong out with him.

"Traitor!"

Kong Rong struggled violently and roared angrily: "Tian Feng, you turn black and white upside down, referring to the deer as a horse, you and you can't die well......"

Kong Rong's words echoed in the small conference hall, making everyone's expressions strange.

The hall was full of people, and their eyes swept away Tian Feng's face with strange eyes.

Although the 'Yuzhou case' was buried in the palace, all the people present here are today's big figures, and the relationship network is complex.

Yes, everyone knows that Tian Feng is a 'crazy killing god', but they never thought that Tian Feng could actually confront Kong Rong without changing his face in Shangshutai.

Tian Feng's words are high-sounding, but everyone knows that it is covering up for Cao Cao, not the truth.

This is also a thick-faced and black-hearted man. ’

I don't know that many people have quietly come to this conclusion, and they don't dare to underestimate Tian Feng.

Xu You touched his triangular beard and looked at Tian Feng with different colors in his eyes.

He has worked with Tian Feng, and he knows that this is a Geng Jie, but he never thought that now he has become a treacherous villain.

Wang Lang also frowned secretly, the fall of the Imperial Historical Observatory into the hands of such a person is not good news for the imperial court.

And the others, who are also up-and-down, have their own ideas about Tian Feng's first 'stage'.

Xun Yu waited for a moment and said, "Cao Cao's case will be judged by the Three Law Divisions, and the case must be concluded within three days." Next, let's talk about Cao's case. Xu Shangshu, you come. ”

Xu You immediately put down his hand and pretended to cough lightly.

Everyone's eyes wandered over him, and gradually turned into the usual expressionless color.

Recently, in the officialdom of the government and the opposition, there is an annoying person, that is, Xu You.

This person does not belong to any force, and at the same time acts unscrupulously, repeatedly breaking the rules, which makes the originally superficially harmonious court constantly make waves, which makes the court bigwigs very irritable.

Xu You sorted out his clothes, and after sitting down, he said with a solemn expression: "Back to the prime minister, according to the complaint, the criminal Cao carefully verified that the Cao family had invaded and seized the people's land during the Zhongping period......"

"Zhongping didn't mention it before."

Xun Yu interrupted him and said, "There is empirical evidence since the Yonghan Dynasty. ”

For the 'purge of officials' in recent years, the imperial court defaulted to 'not retrospective', and did not pursue Liu Wei before he ascended the throne.

Because once the investigation is carried out, no one can escape.

Those of you here can't escape, and those who aren't there can't escape.

Those outside the palace can't escape, and those inside the palace can't escape.

The living can't escape, and the dead can't escape.

Xu You didn't mind and continued: "Yes. After careful investigation by the criminal Cao, since the Yonghan Dynasty, the Cao family has encroached on all kinds of civilian land, 3,700 hectares, beaten more than 100 people, bought and sold officials, more than 100 can be verified, including officials of the imperial court, as well as local county guards and county orders. Cao's official positions include the Three Princes......"

"That's it!"

This time, it was Zhong Xuan who interrupted his words and warned with a serious face: "Before Yonghan, don't mention it again!" ”

Xu You was not the slightest annoyed, and said respectfully: "Yes." According to the investigation of the criminal Cao, the Cao family bought more than 100 official positions in the imperial court, and sold more than 100, and the evidence is basically conclusive. ”

After Xu You finished speaking, everyone's eyes glanced at Xun Yu to the right servant.

Two or three days ago, Xun You was also serving as an official Cao Shangshu.

In the small conference hall, there was silence.

Wang Lang, as the new official Cao Shangshu, did not fall into the ground, but was shocked by Xu You's methods.

Is this really someone presenting evidence recently? Or did Xu You secretly find out about the Cao family a long time ago?

Did he only touch Cao's, or was there anyone else?

Wang Lang thought so, and the others who were about to gloat and watch the play reacted quickly, looking at Xu You's eyes, their eyes flickering, vigilant and uneasy.

Xun You's face sank like water, and his eyes stared at Xu You coldly.

He didn't expect that this Xu You would release these things directly without saying hello in advance!

He was furious in his heart, and he had already decided to teach Xu Yu a solid lesson!
