Chapter 467 So Simple

Liu He is a relative of the emperor, and in terms of seniority, he is the elder of Chang'an Emperor Liu Bian, and is known as the emperor's uncle in the world.

When the imperial power was strong, just this title was enough to scare a person to death.But now that the Han Dynasty is weak, let alone the emperor's uncle, even if you are the emperor, if you don't have military power and strength in your hands, who will think highly of you?Remarkable on the surface, respect it.

Liu He is not the emperor, and he has no real power in his hands.

Even the title of his uncle was bestowed by others.But sometimes, some people can never recognize their situation.

Liu He is exactly such a person!

In fact, it's not just Liu He.After Liu Bian ascended the throne in Chang'an, many clans that had lost their roots felt that the Han clan would rise again.Of course, how to rise?Not something they should be thinking about...they only care about what rights they will get.

It's a pity... When the dilapidated clans arrived in Chang'an one by one, they found that they couldn't get anything.

Except for a nihilistic title, they are not even comparable to an ordinary official in Chang'an City.This heart is naturally very uncomfortable.

In particular, Dong Bi is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. The people in Chang'an only know Dong Bi's troll order, but no one knows what the imperial decree is.

From the perspective of the clan, this is absolutely intolerable.So one by one, the vicious thoughts against Dong Bi finally turned into practical actions.

"Liu Xian is the order of Chang'an, you have no proof, why did you arrest him?"

Ming Gong is over forty years old, with a smile on his face, he seems to have never heard the clamor of Liu He and others.

He once served as Henan Yin, and was later dismissed by Dong Zhuo because of his heart for Liu Bian.As a small official of the Hongnong Prince's Mansion, he followed Liu Bian until today's Ting Wei.Also because of this reason, Liu Bian attached great importance to Min Gong and appointed him as the Ting Wei in charge of the criminal law.

"Uncle Emperor, this official is not without proof, but received a secret report...Liu Xian had an affair with a traitor, and he was suspected of treason. The official also found the letterhead between him and Liu Jingsheng in Master Liu's study. , there are no rebellious remarks in it. As for whether Master Liu was framed as the emperor said, the lower officials have not yet obtained evidence. But before that, Master Liu is afraid that he will be wronged for a while."

Min Gong's words were quite orderly, neither humble nor overbearing.

Although Liu He was full of anger, he had no choice but to sit aside angrily, staring at Min Gong for a while, speechless.

Min Gong went on to say: "Don't worry, Uncle Huang, if Mr. Liu has been wronged, the officials will definitely clear him up. But if there is something wrong..."

"In that case, why not release his family first?"

Liu He retreated to find another way.

Min Gong shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work... Liu Xian's family members will be taken care of by the Procuratorate until the suspicion is cleared."

Liu He's cheeks twitched a few times, and he wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say?
At this moment, someone shouted outside the hall: "The governor is here!"

Liu He knew that once Dong Bi came, he would never even try to rescue Liu Xian.He stood up angrily, and walked out with a group of clan clan members flicking their sleeves.

Seeing Dong Biao's burly figure head-on, Liu He couldn't help but spit, and ignored Dong Biao.

Naturally, Dong Bi could clearly see the rude behavior.

For Liu He, he didn't need to show any good looks.After all, Dong Bi doesn't bother to do such a hot face sticking a cold butt.

Walking into the inner hall, Ming Gong greeted him at the door.

After the two sat down, they didn't exchange any greetings.In fact, with the friendship between Dong Yu and Mingong, there is no need for any hypocritical greetings.

"Master Min, what is the meaning of Dong Bi's coming today..."

"Understood!" Min Gong said: "The governor must have come to investigate for Liu Xian. That's right, I received a secret report two days ago, saying that Liu Xian and Liu Biao were secretly colluding, which seemed to be detrimental to Chang'an. After receiving the secret report, the lower officials immediately took control of Liu Xian's mansion. The arrest was carried out today, and more than ten letters were found in Liu Xian's study, and they have been reported to Chengming Palace."

"Oh?"

Before Dong Bi came, he had already understood the reason of the matter.

But hearing what Min Gong said, he couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Master Min, in your opinion, is Liu Xian really guilty of treason?"

Min Gong pondered for a while, and waved the servants in the inner hall to go out.

"My lord, this is a strange thing to say. The reason why the lower official got the news was from two informant letters... Judging from the letter paper found in Liu Xian's study, it was from Liu Jingsheng's hand. But my lord But the official thought that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Xian."

While talking, he took out two letters from the case file on the desk and handed them to Dong Bie.

The handwriting is very vague, and I can't tell what it is.But one thing is certain, the person who wrote this letter is by no means an ordinary scholar.

As the saying goes: words are face.

In the Han Dynasty, there were not many people who could read and write, and even fewer people could write good characters.Although the person who wrote the letter deliberately concealed it, the temperament hidden in the strokes is enough to show that this person has a good foundation.

"Then where is Mr. Liu now?"

"He was held in a sky prison and guarded by special personnel. His family members were implicated, and the officials worried that they would be harmed. Therefore, after Liu Xian was arrested, he ordered his family members to be transferred to Duyoubao. On the one hand, it was for Isolation, on the other hand, is also for protection."

"Du Postburg?"

Dong Bi asked, "Did Youbao send someone to receive it?"

Min Gong shook his head, "No, the officials sent someone to send them there. Duyoubao didn't issue any instructions to accept the prisoners."

Isn't it what the military division did?

Dong Bi scratched his head, very confused.

It was a bit of a coincidence that Liu Xian was arrested at this time.If it is said that he conspired against... Ha, I am afraid that not many people will believe it.

After talking with Min Gong for a while, Dong Bi said goodbye and left.

Back home, as soon as he sat down, a family member came to report: "Master, Yang Qian, the regular servant of Zhongzhong, asked to see the master outside the mansion, saying that the emperor has invited you."

Really busy!

Dong Bi originally wanted to take a day off from his busy schedule, but unexpectedly he became busier and busier.

Hastily said: "Please be modest!"

After a while, Yang Qian entered the study, bowed to Dong Bi, and said respectfully: "The governor, the emperor said that the governor should go to Bailiangtai to have a speech."

It's Bailiang Terrace again!
Dong Bi was actually very tired of that place, but since Liu Bian sent someone to invite him, he naturally couldn't refuse.

Immediately changed his clothes, and left the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion with Yang Qian.On the way to Weiyang Palace, Dong Pi tentatively asked: "Mr. Qian, do you know that the emperor asked me to go, what's the matter?"

Yang Qian smiled, "Don't worry, the governor... Your Majesty just thinks that there is less communication with the governor, so I invite the governor to go and have a talk."

comminicate?

Dong Bi was not sure what Liu Bian meant.

But one thing he already knew was that Liu Bian himself didn't seem to have any ideas.The memorial to the feudal kingdom that day probably had nothing to do with Liu Bian.Because after that day, for more than [-] days, Liu Bian did not bring up the matter of closing the country. Even if the clan raised it in the early court, he vaguely changed the subject, obviously not the slightest interest in this matter.In other words, the so-called closure of the country is likely to be the idea of ​​the clan.

But this conjecture is conjecture after all, and Dong Bi couldn't figure out what was going on in Liu Bian's head.

Maybe today's meeting has something to do with this matter...

Unknowingly, Dong Bi followed Yang Qian to the outside of Bailiang Terrace.

******
Just when Dong Bi entered Weiyang Palace, in a cell in Du Youbao, two teenagers were sitting facing each other.

One is Dong Ji.

The other was slightly younger than Dong Ji, and looked a little thin, with big eyes and hare-like eyes, revealing a hint of treachery.

The corners of the mouth were slightly upturned, but there was a disdainful expression on his face.

"The eldest son used to only use these means? Planting and framing is nothing but the actions of a villain."

Dong Ji looked calmly, looking at the boy.There was a sense of sarcasm in the young man's words, but Dong Ji didn't seem to hear it.

"Zhou Buyi, in your opinion, what should I do?"

The boy was Liu Xian's nephew Zhou Buyi. Hearing Dong Ji's question, he sneered and said, "What should you do? It's your business. What has it got to do with me?"

Dong Ji smiled and said, "Why doesn't it matter? This is not only related to your life, but also related to your uncle Liu Xian's first life name... You say, if those rich and rich people know, Mr. Liu Xian, who is known for his uprightness and loyalty, There is actually a rebel brother-in-law, what will be the result? Zhou Buyi, father Zhou Chao, mother Liu Ai... In the fourth year of Zhongping, Zhou Chao followed Changsha native Ou Xing to rebel, Liu Ai was pregnant with Liujia, so he was sent to Lingling's elder brother Liu Xian. In the fifth year of Zhongping, Zhou Buyi was born in Lingling... Tsk tsk, it's quite complicated."

Zhou Buyi couldn't help but tremble in Lingling, looked at Dong Ji in horror, and was speechless for a while.

"You have lived in Xiangyang with your uncle Ling since you were young, and you have studied under many people...Uncle Ling once asked you to study, but you said: Learning is born, so what is the use of reading... Tsk tsk, it is really arrogant. But you are indeed With arrogant capital, in the third year of Jian'an, he was only eleven years old, and he was the same as Wu Jiufan, which was different from many people...but he didn't want to be called a child's graffiti by Liu Biao, which made my uncle frustrated."

Zhou Buyi didn't say a word, just gritted his teeth.

Dong Ji took out another official document, "Tsk tsk, when Taiping arrived in Chang'an with his uncle in the first year, he ordered his younger brother Kou Feng... Oh, no, it should be Liu Feng who said that the Han Dynasty will decline, and take it when it is chaotic. He If you conquer the world in the daytime, you will win a hundred times over that mediocre person. Who is this mediocre person? After entering Chang'an, I asked Liu Xian to present the rubbings of the "42 Chapters" and said: "If my uncle takes this as a gift of audience, he will definitely win the emperor's favor."

Zhou Buyi felt cold all over his body.

He claims to be smart, but he doesn't want to act as if he was seen by someone with his own eyes.That naked feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

Dong Ji went on to say: "Liu got the Chang'an order first, you first offer three strategies, and you can control Chang'an within five years. Reduce my father's control over Chang'an; secondly, put my father in the wind, rise up and fall down secretly, and drive out of Chang'an... Well, this third article is very interesting. I believe the emperor will be very angry if he sees it. .”

After speaking, Dong Ji put away the official documents.

"Zhou Buyi, you are indeed very clever, and you have hidden murderous intentions. But you have forgotten one thing. If there is no executor for the various plans you have designed, I am afraid it will be difficult to implement them with the help of those wine bags and rice bags... ...You said that I was poor, but I was wrong. My father controls Chang'an, and I know that as long as you get rid of you, the plan is no matter how good it is, but it will be a failure. I have no interest in playing games with you. I can solve it in the simplest way. I will never ask for trouble... It's a pity that because of your cleverness, your family has been affected, pity your uncle who raised you, pity your mother who just came to Chang'an, because of your cleverness, you can't survive!"

Dong Ji said it lightly, but Zhou Buyi's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

He raised his head, looked at Dong Ji, and said softly, "What do you want?"

"Hehe, I'm just a child, what can I do? It's just that people are dealing with my parents. As a child, you have to show some filial piety. Zhou Buyi, your family's life and death are only in your mind, you You are a wise man, understand what I mean."

After speaking, Dong Ji walked out of the cell.

When I walked to the door, I suddenly turned back and said with a smile: "To deal with complicated things, you can use the simplest method to solve them, as long as you have the strength... This is a reminder given to me by a teacher. Don't think that you are very smart, in fact In Chang'an, you are nothing. It is a good thing to be ambitious, but you must also see your own strength. You have a day, think about it, how about it?"

The iron door closed with a bang, but Zhou Buyi collapsed on the couch like a deflated ball, and remained motionless for a long time.

I feel that the writing is complicated and a bit unsmooth...
