Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 126 The Real Wang Yun

Hearing Li Ru bring up the old matter again, and brought it up at this time, it is impossible for Liu Xie not to be curious.

Throughout Wang Yun's life, he was attacked by Liangzhou tribes into Chang'an within 38 days of assassinating Dong Zhuo and being in power. Especially the homicide of Cai Yong is an unsolved case in history.

According to people like Liu Xie or Cao Cao, when they encountered Cai Yong, instead of killing them all like Wang Yun, they would give a few words of gentle encouragement.This approach is beneficial and cost-effective, but it can meet the needs of scholars' sentiments and appease the fear of people in Liangzhou in one fell swoop.But Wang Yun made the most stupid decision. For this, he even paid the price of not being able to follow his lead.

Such a short rib, in his subsequent fight with Liu Xie, the consequences were not insignificant.It can be said that the reason why Liu Xie was able to win against Wang Yun every time was because Liu Xie pulled Wang Yun to the corner with the help of courtiers and forced him to kiss him.

Wang Yun's mentally handicapped change made the writers of history books feel suspicious, so they gave a far-fetched reason. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty?"Wang Yun Biography" said: "Yun's nature is strong and evil, and he was afraid of Dong Zhuo's wolf at the beginning, so he broke the knot.Once Zhuo was wiped out, he claimed that there would be no more troubles, and in the meeting, every time he lacked warmth, his staff was upright and prudent, and he didn't follow expedient measures, so the group didn't attach much to him.It is said that after Wang Yun assassinated Dong Zhuo, he thought he could sit back and relax, so he became arbitrary and ignorant of strategy, which caused him to mishandle Dong Zhuo's old subordinates.

This reason was also used by Sima Guang in the Northern Song Dynasty when compiling "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", but he felt that it was still not sufficient, so he made two additions: First, in this passage, "Zhuo is wiped out, and he claims to be invincible." "Recovering tribulations" was followed by four words - "quite proud", which was used to explain that the "stupid" behaviors behind Wang Yun were all caused by pride and complacency.

Another point is that Sima Guang added that Wang Yunfei wanted to kill Cai Yong, proving that Wang Yun's character was extremely arrogant, and he even did not hesitate to kill Cai Yong to make the grand ceremony of compiling national history a waste of such things as destroying discipline and abolishing such things, so as to prove that Wang Yun's subsequent failures are all It is the cause of failure planted by his own character flaws.

Obviously, this explanation does not conform to the reality at all. It was not until Liu Xie really integrated into this world, under the guidance of Zhong Yao, that Wang Yun's transformation was just a manifestation of the political will and interests of the traditional scholar group, did he treat Wang Yun With a clear understanding - what Wang Yun wants to do is to rule the world with the "benevolence and righteousness" they firmly believe in, hoping to solve the tribes in Liangzhou without leaving a trace, attracting the princes of the Guandong to worship, and then unifying the Han Dynasty. It's just to create a state ruled by rituals respected by Confucian scholars.

But it is still a bit far-fetched to explain Wang Yunfei's desire for Cai Yong.Because Cai Yong is a scholar after all, even if Wang Yun wants to get rid of all the previous connections with Dong Zhuo, the life and death of Cai Yong alone can't prove this point at all, and his guilt is not far enough to be beheaded.On the contrary, Wang Yun had to pay a painful price for this. If there was no personal factor in this, Liu Xie would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

These days, Liu Xie was in a state of desperation, and the tribes of Liangzhou and the mountain of Qianghu in Liangzhou were firmly on his heart, which made Liu Xie have no time to deal with Cai Yong, a corrupt scholar.But when Li Ru brought it up at this time, he couldn't help not paying attention to it, because Li Ru was never a targetless person.

"Wen You, you know, I'm not in the mood for you to whet your appetite like this." Liu Xie cut off the fish gut with delicate scissors, and continued to sew up another wound with Wang Yue, but his cold tone showed that his patience was limited.

After confirming Liu Xie's anger, Li Ru said in shock: "Wang Yun killed Cai Yong just to make sure that Cai Yong could not write it in the "Han Shu" in the future. The hero who planned to assassinate the mastermind of Dong, betrayed Dong Yishi with his own hands, such a nasty thing!"

Liu Xie was shocked. This answer was far beyond his expectation. He could never have imagined that there was such a secret in it.It was even more unexpected that Wang Yun turned out to be such a villain who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and betrayed his colleagues. His expression became more solemn: "Wenyou, you must speak with evidence."

But Li Ru was not afraid of Liu Xie's dragon prestige at this time, but said frankly: "It is because there is no evidence, so I will tell you at this time. However, I can be sure that Cai Yong must have evidence It's a pity that this rotten scholar is still unwilling to confess the matter when he is about to die."

"What's going on?" Liu Xie stopped his work. Shocked by such secrets, it was impossible for him to treat Wang Yue with peace of mind, so he let the iron eagle who was like a wooden carving stand beside him. The swordsman does it for him.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Wu Fu's assassination of Dong?" Li Ru's words were like a sharp scalpel, tearing away the dusty memory that Liu Xie didn't want to look back, dripping with blood.

Liu Xie naturally remembered that incident. During those fearful days, it was because of the existence of loyal officials of the Han Dynasty like Wu Fu that Liu Xie had a sliver of faith to fight Dong Zhuo to the end.Then Wu Fu was killed by Dong Zhuo on the spot, and he was implicated in the nine clans. Xun You and He Yong who participated in the conspiracy were imprisoned, Zheng Tai fled, and finally He Yong died tragically in prison. Although Xun You survived by chance, he was also lost Gushuo, tortured.

But after this incident, with Dong Zhuo's order to send envoys to the Guandong, especially because of Dong Zhuo's name, the five envoys were killed by the Kanto heroes and only one Han Rong returned to the court. after prison.The indignation of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty towards Dong Zhuo had already reached the sky, and Dong Zhuo was under pressure so he did not continue to pursue it, and finally let it go.

"Your Majesty, you are living in the palace. You have no eyes and ears outside, and no advisers inside. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are a deaf person." Li Ru ridiculed Liu Xie's innocence and forgetfulness, and reminded Liu Xie Xie said: "However, no matter how forgetful Your Majesty is, you still remember that Wei Wei Zhang Wen was killed during this period, right? Remember, it was after Zhang Wen was killed that Dong Zhuo gave up the investigation of this matter, right? ?”

"You, you mean?..." Liu Xie now fully understood what Li Ru meant.The killing of Zhang Wen was also a mystery that plagued Liu Xie. At the beginning, Lu Bu said that he had received a secret letter saying that Zhang Wen colluded with Yuan Shu to harm Dong Zhuo, but the letter was sent to the wrong residence. Dong Zhuocai used this ridiculous reason to kill Zhang Wen.

Liu Xie thought for a while before that Dong Zhuo killed Zhang Wen because the relationship between the two was at a freezing point at that time.Dong Zhuo wanted to use the strategy of killing the chicken to scare the monkey to intimidate himself.But now Li Ru suddenly pointed out this point, and his intention was self-evident—the reason why Dong Zhuo wanted to kill Zhang Wen was not because of himself, but because Dong Zhuo thought that Zhang Wen was the mastermind who ordered Wu Fu to assassinate him!
That's why he used such a clumsy reason to kill Zhang Wen no matter what.Of course, by the way, you can intimidate the emperor, and you can kill two birds with one stone.Therefore, after Zhang Wen's death, a powerful butcher like Dong Zhuo would stop investigating the assassination of him when the scholar-bureaucrats fought back.Because in his opinion, he has already killed the mastermind, so naturally there is no need to pursue it any further!

But who is the mastermind of the assassination mission, how can Liu Xie not know?Xun You was still Wang Yun's think tank at that time, without Wang Yun's acquiescence, how could Xun You mobilize those celebrities to design that big game of chess?But now, the real mastermind, Wang Yun, was unscathed, while Zhang Wen died. With such an ending in front of Liu Xie, no matter how stupid he was, he could guess the reason.

The only explanation is that Wang Yun framed Zhang Wen, making Dong Zhuo think that Zhang Wen was the mastermind behind the scenes.Therefore, the bloody storm stopped.Because Wang Yun knew Dong Zhuo very well, Dong Zhuo regarded the matter of his wealth and life very seriously. In order to find out this matter, not to mention the opposition of the entire court, even the entire Chang'an objected, Dong Zhuo might destroy the city of Chang'an.Only by making Dong Zhuo think that the matter has been settled, can he, Wang Yun, rest easy.

Once this kind of logic was formed in his mind, Liu Xie felt cold all over his body instantly. In his opinion, Wang Yun was just a pedantic and stubborn traditional scholar.But once this is true, his evaluation of Wang Yun will naturally change a lot.However, even though Liu Xie was unwilling to accept such a result at this time, his rationality warned him all the time, and Li Ru's explanation was impeccable.Moreover, from the intuition of human nature, Wang Yuna and other people who have been walking on the blade for many years are very likely to embark on this path in the face of a wrong body.

After all, under the pressure of death, it is possible for a person to do anything.Not to mention, people like Wang Yun who still have this unwavering obsession in their hearts.Because, often this kind of person, no matter what they do, will find an excuse for themselves to escape in the end.

He Wang Yun, but for the Han family, for the common people in the world!

Thinking of this, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile miserably, and had nothing to say at all.However, he soon came to his senses and blurted out, "Even if what you said is true, what does it have to do with Cai Yong?"

Li Ru just smiled faintly, and didn't even bother to answer.And Liu Xie felt that this sentence was superfluous after asking: Obviously, Cai Yong, like Li Ru, knew about this matter.
