Chapter 285: How can this be a loss-making deal?
"Jiangong doesn't have to worry, so it seems that this time it's just over, and there will be Zhonglang who will advise him that he won't do anything to the Sima family."
After scolding Zhang Han, Chen Ji gradually calmed down, and seeing that he was about to finish this journey, he was naturally a little relieved.
"I am equal to the court as an official, and I will not fall into the ground, please rest assured."
Originally, everyone walked so far, once they spoke, there would always be people who echoed it, but Yang Biao seemed to be absent-minded, just paused and didn't take it.
Chen Ji looked at him with concern and asked puzzledly, "Why is Yang Gong's mind not here, what is he worried about?" β
Yang Biao woke up in shock, and said with a humble eye and a little fear: "It's okay, I just feel that tonight is thrilling." β
"Yes," Chen Ji nodded, "Liang Mao and Mao Ji both have clearly expressed their dissatisfaction with Qingting Hou, and even made evaluations that were included in the records of historians. β
"Being treated like this can't help but make people worry, if Your Majesty becomes more and more favored by Zhang Han in the future and listens to his slander, our position will be in jeopardy."
"Now, it's the same as thenβ"
"Don't say it," Yang Biao hurriedly raised his hand to stop, it would be dangerous to continue to say this.
No one knows if there is a hidden school affair nearby, or whether any of the three people present will inadvertently reveal it, in short, the trouble comes from the mouth, if you want to feel at ease, don't say it.
Everyone is an old fox, and it's just tacit.
Now above the court, Zhang Han and his party are already upstarts, His Majesty listens to Zhang Han very much, as if he is a relative, and Zhang Han seems to be loyal and good in the court, and he has made great contributions.
Outside the court, they formed a party for personal gain, filled their pockets, and collected countless money.
No, I can't think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more I feel more similar to those ten.
The only difference is that Zhang Han is a real man, and he has outstanding military achievements, bravely crowning the three armies, and his prestige is broadcast and part of the military camps of the black-robed cavalry, tiger and leopard cavalry, and tiger ben army.
The ten were not, their hearts were very dark, and it was precisely because of this that they were even more terrifying, Zhang Han had a perfect heart and good talents, and he was scheming, good at showing people, and even such tacit layouts with each other could be seen through and messed around, terrible.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the case, my Sima clan will also suffer, I am afraid that I will not be able to re-enter the official office for a few years, and in the future, I will ask my colleagues to take care of it."
Sima Fang's words have been very vague and to the point, in fact, to put it bluntly, he has been targeted, and he will have to wait for punishment when he goes home, and no one knows what kind of punishment His Majesty will give tomorrow.
The other two are also smart people, and it makes no sense to go back to Sima Fang to review these things after knowing this matter, so it is better to accept it first, and then discuss it after the punishment comes out.
"Sima Gong's words are serious."
"Jiangong, we have known each other for many years, how can we stand by and watch, you go back and have a good rest," Chen Ji arched his hand, his expression was still quite calm.
β¦β¦
In the palace.
Liu Xie arrived at the apse and ordered people to serve snacks and delicacies, as well as wine to entertain Zhang Han.
But they were all rejected.
Although Liu Xie was angry, he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, the scholars had a lot of power in the court, and their protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials were scattered all over the country as officials.
Therefore, when he stopped Zhang Han, he didn't really want to leave him for a banquet, but planned to ask about some more things.
"Bo Chang, how do you think these old ministers will deal with this matter after they go back?"
"I deliberately put the matter of punishment and edict behind, just to see how many people they can find among them to persuade and intercede, or what other strategies can be used to deal with it."
"Then I don't know," Zhang Han sighed, his expression was unhappy, and he seemed to be a little anxious, and said: "The heart of a scholar is as deep as the sea, how can ordinary people see through it." β
"Unlike Weichen, Weichen will only feel sorry for His Majesty," Zhang Han said seriously.
Liu Xie nodded, "Okay, Aiqing's meaning, I have already understood, and I don't want me to be embarrassed in it, so if this is the case, the punishment will be lighter and let the matter be revealed." β
"However, it is important to keep an eye on the management of the winter disaster."
"No, Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhang Han bowed and bowed, looking quite respectful.
Liu Xie asked a few more words with concern, and finally felt a little lazy, so he asked Zhang Han to go back to rest first.
"Aiqing is also tired today, go back and rest."
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern."
β¦β¦
Walking on the road beyond the palace walls, Zhang Han and Dian Wei talked about today's events.
Cao Ang had already left with the ministers, so the open flames on both sides of the road were dim in the middle of the night, and it seemed extremely silent.
Therefore, the voice of the two people talking is also very soft.
"Did the prince originally want the Sima family to be exiled today?"
"Why do you have to die one or two?" Zhang Han's eyelids raised slightly, "They are all scheming against me like this behind my back." β
"How do you know that it must be the Sima clan?"
"I don't know it's Sima's family," Zhang Han's eyes widened as a matter of course, "Do you have to confirm it before you can do it?" β
"What do you mean?" Dian Wei felt that he had touched a blank area in himself, and he didn't understand what Zhang Han meant.
"This is the case with the so-called political war, if it is confirmed, it can only be used to attack someone, and once it can be achieved, it can at least deter the enemy."
"If you have to wait for it to be clarified, then you won't be able to do anything, because people are smart at doing things after all, and they may not leave much of a handle."
"I don't like the Sima family, so I'll just do it to their family."
"Oh," Dian Wei nodded as if he didn't understand, anyway, he just used his strength to fight and beat a random family, such a dozen should actually have a miraculous effect.
Anyway, it's right to know that the prince is not easy to mess with, and next time someone attacks me, I will do the same.
Dian Wei made up his mind in his heart.
"Let's go to the Paradise House," Zhang Han said lazily.
"Aren't you going home?"
"No return, no return," Zhang Han waved his hand, "I'll be there, waiting for Sima Fang to come and ask for guilt, and I'll see if he will come to that kind of place." β
"Besides, I still have something to think about there."
"Huh."
β¦β¦
Prime Minister's Office.
Cao Cao didn't sleep.
When Cao Ang returned to the mansion, he felt that tonight's events were not big or small, but they were extremely interesting, so it was better to inform his father as soon as possible, so he ordered someone to prepare a carriage and come to meet again.
Hearing that Cao Cao didn't sleep, he happily entered the hall, and the father and son sat opposite each other, obviously Cao Cao was also very interested in what happened in the court today.
After listening to Cao Ang's introduction, Cao Cao fell into deep thought.
"How did Bo Chang see it?"
"I don't know."
Cao Ang first replied simply, and then said with a smile: "Xu was guessed by the talented people under his command, after all, that Mr. Wenhe himself has excellent vision and knowledge, and it is not surprising that he knows the changes in the situation. β
"Yes, it's not surprising," Cao Cao agreed, he also thought of Jia Xu for the first time, this person seems to be indisputable on weekdays, but in fact, he occupies a very important position behind Zhang Han, not comparable to ordinary people.
Moreover, he has also been giving advice to Zhang Han for many years, and these situations can be seen that it is not simple.
"Bo Chang's way to break the situation is to go to His Majesty to mess around and let the Son of Heaven support him."
"This plan is like him, and no one else can do it," even Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh after thinking about it, "Do you know why?" β
"Father taught me," Cao Ang listened to with a well-behaved and elegant hand.
"Because of the person who can beg without shame, Your Majesty will not take care of it, let alone offend so many humerus ministers for him."
"And most of the people with this status are celebrities and celebrities, if you kill them, they won't go to the Son of Heaven to cry and complain, they can't do this kind of thing."
Cao Ang: "......"
It makes sense, or your father, you can see it through.
"So, what should we do? Today's situation, the son suddenly felt that it seemed to be in favor of his father. β
"Tell me," Cao Cao looked at him appreciatively, and immediately became interested, he was willing to listen to his son's insights anytime and anywhere, and put forward his own analysis and insights for him.
Cao Ang thought for a long time, and after the wording, he arched his hand and said: "Father, the Sima family is kind to my Cao family, especially to my father, there is the grace of recommendation, according to the etiquette of the world, this grace is comparable to reconstruction, it is the guide of the teacher and the official career, and it is repaid in a lifetime, this is a number of rites that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and cannot be abandoned." β
"And Brother Bochang is a relative of my Cao family, who was harmed by the Sima family, and has confessed his guilt in the palace, but because he is jealous, and His Majesty wants to punish him, then his father should persuade him to save his family."
"Now Your Majesty is not punished immediately, it is waiting for my father to enter the palace to face the saint and intercede for Sima Gong, but the matter of intercession should be widely disseminated, so that people from all over the country, whether scholars or poor students, should know about it, and praise my father for his character of repaying kindness."
"Good."
Cao Cao was satisfied.
With such an insight, he has nothing to teach, this hand, he has never taught his son before, and this kind of thing, most of the time, Bo often does.
Under his hands, there are many such literate students, just to guide rumors, whether they are beautiful or rumors, they can be tried to spread.
This must have been learned from Zhang Han.
Yes, the prestige of building momentum is not very useful for ordinary people, but for them, the lords and ministers, it is too big, even the slightest reputation, it must not be let go.
"Ang'er, you are right, we should save the Sima clan, but not for the sake of fame."
"You remember, fame is only one of them, this time Bo Chang made a fuss in the Yongle Palace, the real use is that the next time the Sima clan has another change and secretly plots, I can immediately behead his entire family without hesitation, and the world will never blame me."
"I see," Cao Ang was stunned, and understood the meaning of this for a moment, "I understand." β
"And when you were persuading in the temple today, you were guilty of the sin...... Hehehe, they also regard this matter as a rebellion that affects the harmony of my court, and the sin is really not small, and they will definitely pay attention to it. β
"Well said, good introduction, tomorrow I will go to see Your Majesty, and then intercede for Sima Gong."
Cao Cao was obviously in a better mood, in fact, what happened in the court was reported to him one after another, including when he went to Sima Fang's school office to record the matter, he also came to ask him to make a decision.
It's just that Cao Cao had already guessed what Zhang Han was going to do, so he secretly pushed his hand and asked people to record the ugly things of the Sima family, and even the trivial things such as killing and stealing people among the clansmen.
If Sima Gong really refuses to be convinced and confronts him in the court, then these things will naturally be made public, so that before the beginning of spring, Sima's name will naturally be shameless in Xu Duye.
It was also he who endured this hand, so that he escaped the catastrophe and turned the big thing into a small one.
In this way, he really shouldn't die.
Since it shouldn't be stopped, then tomorrow's drama will naturally have to be more beautiful.
Cao Cao thought to himself.
β¦β¦
Le Fang Elegant House, three-storey pavilion, private room.
Zhang Han sat upright on a futon on a spacious wooden floor, his brows furrowed, his hands resting on the desk, and his right hand holding a wine bottle, but he did not drink.
It seems to be in a daze, but in fact, he is looking at a special hint from the system's father-in-law.
[Luck: 20]
His luck was reduced by 30.
Just after leaving the Yongle Palace, Zhang Han didn't care about it at first, but now the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong.
In this way, it was the blessing of destiny, so that Jia Xu found out about this and came to inform him, inadvertently saving half of his life.
Luck is consumed in this matter.
I thought I could have some adventures?
It was taken away to ward off the disaster.
"How much does it cost to exchange for a meteorite to fall from the sky and smash Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of troops?"
A strange idea popped into him, but he quickly put it out of his mind.
The top priority is to immediately accumulate a little more luck to add to yourself.
Otherwise, if there is a danger to your life in the future, or something like being assassinated, you will not be so lucky to be helped and solved.
"This winter disaster, I really need to make meritorious service in person."
Zhang Han touched his chin and suddenly became entangled, "But I have already told Your Majesty that I strongly recommend Ziyu to preside over the overall situation." β
"Do you want to retract this?"
"No, if that's the case, my father-in-law will definitely not let me go, and he will be caught off guard and scream in anger."
At this point, it seems that we can only help each other in secret.
"Dian Wei, what do you think of our relationship with Ziyu?"
"Like a brother, why do you ask like this?" Dian Wei, who was drinking in the distance, cast a strange look.
"That's good, this winter disaster, I dare to assert that there will still be people who are secretly trying to let the plague run rampant in my territory, but fortunately, in the coming year, the army's morale is unstable."
"At the same time, it will also make Zi Wei troublesome, so we still have to help each other secretly."
"You go back and tell the black-robed riders, especially Han Sheng and Zilong, to select some strong warriors for me, and I will give them three times the reward and order them to help deal with the winter disaster."
"In this matter, we don't have half of the credit, and we don't compete with Zi Yu for credit, just to let him achieve this merit safely."
"So, what can we earn? Isn't this a loss-making deal? Dian Wei looked at him hesitantly, because Dian Wei remembered that Zhang Han had said in the past that we would not do the business of losing money.
"How can you lose money? What I lost was money, but what I gained was that my friends could be safe and sound, and I gained fame, and I didn't make money, didn't I make money? β
"This, this ......" Dian Wei's hand with the wine was in the air, and he was speechless for a while holding the wine jar.
"Okay."
On the second day, Zhang Han returned to the Nanlinshan military camp to deploy the matter.
In order to complete the "guilt of Jing Petition", Sima Fang wore a simple robe to a place he had never set foot in the first half of his life to visit Zhang Han.
"What? Went to the South Linshan Barracks? β
"The prince has ordered, if Sima Gong comes, you can wait here, he will come back soon, if Sima Gong leaves, it will be difficult to have a chance to see you again."
The little guy in front of him was also a student in a Confucian robe, who looked very young, smiling and groaning, and quite decent.
Sima Fang leaned back slightly, it was not easy to choose for a while, but he was here, just wait for a while.
Maybe, I'll be back soon.
"Lead the way, what's inside...... What to eat? Sima Fang didn't know how to ask, so he started with the dishes.
