Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 75 Longwei's Observation

Chapter 75 Longwei's Observation
It was still Luoyang, the imperial capital, and Shen Di, the servant of Zhongshu, also wanted to pay a visit to Xun Shuang at this time.

Because he realized that under the turmoil of the current situation, there was still a huge conspiracy hidden. Although he still couldn't fully see the subsequent development of the whole situation, he had to make a decision to stand in advance.

Most of the gentry in Luoyang are now watching, waiting for the final development of this incident, and some people are even in the state of watching the show, anyway, it is not aimed at themselves, let alone stand in line.

Of course, they must have a position, and they must be opposed to eunuchs doing this, but this does not mean that they are willing to take the lead. If there is a Guan family who comes out to take the lead, they don't mind beating the side drums and shouting a few words of support. Now Yuan and Yang are not moving...

When the sky collapses, there will naturally be a tall man to support them, so why worry about these short people, besides, there is no use in worrying.

Only a group of royalists are still jumping around, but they have entered the palace twice to face the saints, what's the use?
Isn't the arrest, trial, and liquidation in Bingzhou still going on?
But Shen Di didn't think so. He felt that if he didn't stand in line, he might not have a chance to stand in line for a long time. In his eyes, the royalists led by the silly Xun family were the most suitable place to stand in line...

His judgment was also based on an important piece of information he had obtained the day before yesterday. The Shichang Attendant ordered the Minister to issue a secret edict a few days ago, commanding the Governor of the Western Regions to count and check all the taxes and taxes in the Western Regions, and immediately report the truth without error!

The news was bought by the staff of the restaurant from a Hu businessman, and it is said that he has cooperated with him many times and is very reliable.

If that's true, it's a big deal!

Ordering a detailed investigation of taxes and then reporting them according to the facts shows that there was an omission in the previous report, and Dong Zhuo has just taken office, so it can only be that the predecessor has been concealing the report!

However, Zhang Wen, the predecessor of the Protector of the Western Regions, the General of Zhengxi, did not have any accidents after returning to Beijing, and was even sent by the eunuchs to Bingzhou to quell the chaos...

Ordinary people would definitely think that Zhang Wen had defected to the eunuch, and seeing that he could no longer continue to control the Western Regions, he reported the wealth hidden there to the eunuch in order to get promoted.

But Shen Di didn't think so.

After careful discussion and analysis with the steward of the mansion, he felt that this was not the usual style of eunuchs. If he found out that the underworld concealed taxes, he could make a lot of money by sending a few disciples there. Whether it was threats or negotiations, it was better than issuing a secret edict Well, it's more in line with Shi Changshi's habits.

After all, although the secret edict is secret, it must be kept in Shangshutai. Isn't this the evidence for them to keep their own money?
In addition, in this way, even the secret edict has the risk of news leakage, just like Shen Di now.

But the information clearly stated that it was the order of the ten permanent servants, which is worth thinking about...

Shen Di suddenly thought of the royalist Guanqiu family who had changed previously. Maybe the royalist party had other actions secretly, and he secretly felt that these actions were all in the overall situation arranged by someone.

Although he couldn't see what the layout was like, he knew that now was the last time to make a decision!
If Shen Di was an ordinary gentry, he would at most resign from office and return home after knowing these corners. If the situation was serious, the whole family would move to the border.

But Shen Di couldn't do this, he had to stay in the capital for the Longwei Mansion, and he had to try his best to figure out the whole picture of the layout.

So, he chose to stand in line with the royalists.

Someone had tested him before, talking about Han Emperor Liu Hong, and the other party tried to get his own opinion.

Of course, Shen Di was very "cooperative", and he guessed that the testers were from the royalist faction. In this way, it would be somewhat foreshadowing for him to seek refuge. In addition, he is usually diligent in official duties and has good official reviews...

As for what needs to be done after taking refuge in the past, Shen Di said that it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't affect him to continue to obtain information for Longwei Mansion lurking in the imperial capital.

----

Not long after, Shen Di met people from the Xun family in the Xun Mansion as he wished.

However, the opponent's level is not high, just a side branch.

Shen Di didn't say much, and didn't make sure of his identity, so he directly expressed his intention of coming.

"Nowadays the world is exhausted and the eunuchs are in chaos. It is time for the loyal and righteous men to set things right. Although Di has little strength, he is willing to follow Duke Xun..."

Telling about the traitors of the eunuchs, praising Xun's loyalty, and then expressing his attachment, Shen Di's words can be regarded as watertight.

However, the people of the Xun family were not excited, they just responded flatly, and said some other things without pain. Who knows how to fight in an official voice, the key depends on the action.

As soon as Shen Di saw the other party's appearance, he smiled and reminded the other party that there is no need to test it.

"It's easy for Ling Cheng to say, but if it's an act of loyalty or life is in danger, or you have to disperse family wealth, land, and farm guests, is Ling Cheng still willing to do it?"

Suddenly a person came out from behind the screen and asked Shen Di seriously.

"I don't know this..."

"A certain is Xun Yan's character Xiuruo, and Ling Cheng has not yet answered a certain previous question."

"This is an act of loyalty and righteousness, and the righteous way of a gentleman. Why are you afraid of family wealth and life?"

Knowing that the Lord is coming, Shen Di spoke generously.

"Is there any evidence for this?"

"Why don't you dare..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Off the coast of Kuaiji County.

After resting for three days, Ouyang Jun took Chen Wentian and others on the Longwei ship and set off again.

Perhaps it was because in the secret base, Chen Wentian and the others were not allowed to go on tour in the past three days, and could only move around in the small courtyard when they came, so he didn't find any useful news, but his whole spirit and Physical condition has indeed improved a lot.

When everyone boarded the ship and reached the deck, because the Longwei ship was tall and had a much wider field of vision, Chen Wen discovered that there was another fleet on the side of the ship that was about to set off.

After the ships sailed for a while, this fleet also sailed in another direction as Chen Wentian thought, and it seemed that they were not planning to go to Yizhou with the Longwei ship he was on.

In this way, Chen Wentian became more interested, because the scale of this fleet is really huge. According to Chen Wentian's observation, there are at least a few hundred ships.

Of course, these are small boats, there is no such huge ship as the Longwei Ship, so Chen Wentian guessed that this fleet is going to land on the coast, if Yizhou's transport fleet should not be without the Longwei Ship.

As for the purpose of going to the coast, Chen Wentian couldn't figure it out. If he wanted to do business with the big Han city on the coast, there would be too many soldiers on the deck of the ship...

"Ask the sky to see how my Longwei Navy is here, can I still fight?"

Ouyang Jun saw Chen Wentian staring at the fleet in the distance, so he came over to activate X mode...

"So fast and yet regular, the young master's navy is indeed the best in the world!"

The sensible Chen Wentian naturally understood.

"Where is the United States that God said earlier? But America?"

"This... should be what the young master said, this is what the master said, and I don't know if I ask the sky..."

Chen Wentian coped with it on the surface, but he was taken aback in his heart. When he casually mentioned the United States, Ouyang Jun actually knew it. It seems that this senior Ouyang has told his descendants a lot of geography knowledge.

"It should be so. I heard that this place is rich in products. If it can be used, it should be able to satisfy the food of the world. I don't know how Uncle Ban will go to war..."

As soon as Ouyang Jun finished feeling, he realized that he had leaked the secrets of the mansion, and turned his head to look at Chen Wentian in an instant.

"What did the young master say, the sea breeze was so strong that I couldn't hear clearly..."
