Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 138

"The prince and General Lu are so aggressive in the court, do you want to follow the old example of Dong Thief?" Guang Luxun Yang Biao saw that the court meeting had developed into such a meaningless dispute, so he had to come out shyly to smooth things over .

These remarks are obviously more toward Liu Xie, and will undoubtedly be attacked by Wang Yun, the group that has gained the upper hand.But Yang Biao was an old man at the court meeting after all, before Wang Yun could react, he blocked everyone's mouths with one sentence: "You are all the pillars of the court, your Majesty's words are reasonable, and it is the autumn of the Han Dynasty's life and death. Things have come to this, what do you think should be done?"

Lu Bu was a restless guy, too lazy to pay attention to the hidden thoughts in the words of these literati and celebrities, and directly yelled: "What else can I do? The prince is right. To deal with these Liangzhou people, we must eradicate them. The final general wishes to lead The soldiers under your command, behead Hu Zhen to stabilize the situation!"

"General Lu, don't be arrogant. Sending troops to suppress the rebellion will definitely trouble the general. However, those who want to fight against the outside world must first settle down. Now that the people in Chang'an City are raging, we must first calm down the situation in Chang'an. Only by doing this two-pronged approach can it be effective." Wang Wang Yun glanced at Yang Biao slightly, but he had to appease Lu Bu first.Then he stabbed Liu Xie with a heart-breaking sentence: "Your Majesty is the master of the world, and His Majesty still needs to show his attitude on this matter."

"What advice does the prince have?" Liu Xie was relieved at this moment, and he was very familiar with Wang Yun's urination.To be honest, this old man is still Liu Xie's mentor in a certain way. No matter what he does, there will be a certain amount of preparation for confusing the public. Surrender obediently.

This time, obviously, there will be no exception.

Sure enough, Wang Yun's next sentence said something that had nothing to do with the previous Hu Zhen's rebellion: "According to the old minister's opinion, if His Majesty wants to quell the rumors in Chang'an City and stabilize the hearts of the people, he must first kill Cai Yongcai." Bo Jie!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the court was shocked, and even Liu Xie, who claimed to have a bigger brain than people of this era, didn't react for a long time.Unexpectedly, what Wang Yun wanted was this result, and he added lightly:

"Nowadays there are rumors everywhere in Chang'an City, all saying that the Liangzhou tribes are going to bloodbath Chang'an under the banner of revenge for Dong thief. If His Majesty wants to dispel this rumor, he will use thunderous means to let the people of Chang'an know that the imperial court has completely broken with Dong thief. , with strong morale! Killing Cai Yong in one fell swoop is precisely to let the people of Chang'an know the court's decision!"

Liu Xie really doubted that Wang Yun was an idiot who only lived in his own mind?
Let’s not talk about whether it is necessary to be so extreme in dispelling the rumors, let’s just say that when the people of Chang’an were already panicking, Wang Yun didn’t want to try his best to refute the rumors to appease them, but wanted a bloody human head to stimulate the already sensitive hearts of the people. I don't know what he did to the people of Chang'an?
Yes, in the Confucian concept, the imperial court is the hub that acts on behalf of heaven, and it is an existence that all people should respect and admire.But starting from human nature, Guan Zhong mentioned the matter of "the granary is solid to know the etiquette, and the food and clothing are sufficient to know the honor and disgrace". The people in Chang'an, who have been poisoned by Dong Zhuo and are torn apart by war, why should you Wang Yun gave up his family and died for a whim?Could it be that you got rid of Dong Zhuo just because you, Wang Yun, are celebrities?

Comrade Wang Zishi, are you taking yourself too seriously?
Fortunately, Liu Xie doesn't need to worry about this matter.Just when Wang Yun complacently put forward this suggestion, Ting Wei Wenzheng had no choice but to stand up with a bitter face, and said tremblingly: "My lord, I'm afraid this matter will not come true."

"Why?"

"After the traitors assassinated His Majesty last night, those traitors were forced to jump over the wall in a hurry. Last night, they somehow sneaked into Tingwei's prison and set fire to it. Many prisoners and Cai Bojie all..."

"What's wrong?"

"It was all burned to ashes by a fire..."

After Wen Zheng said these words, Wang Yun had a very strange expression on his face. He was furious at first and wanted to explode, but after holding back for a while, he seemed to try his best to regain his composure, and just said in a deep voice: "You must do your own crimes. Live. Although Cai Bozhe’s death is not a pity, he is considered a generation of scholars after all, so let’s bury him here... But, are you sure that Cai Bozhe has been burned to death in the prison?”

Wen Zheng thought that he could not escape the worst disaster today, but he never expected that Situ Wang Yun would spare him so lightly.Although he couldn't figure out why, it didn't prevent him from quickly replying: "I am sure that the fire burned very violently, and the fire started in Cai Bojie's prison, and he was burnt to the ground. Can't tell the difference. I sent people to restrain them, and only found a piece of burnt jade pendant, which was carried by Cai Bojie..."

Liu Xie was staring at Wang Yun's reaction at this moment, even a slight movement in Wang Yun's pupils wanted to be imprinted in his mind.

Liu Xie was the second most familiar person in the whole incident. According to Leng Shouguang, he ordered the old guards to infiltrate the Ting Wei and kidnap Cai Yong, and then he wanted to come up with a plan to make Li Daitao stiff.

Unexpectedly, just as they transported Cai Yong out of Tingwei, a fire suddenly spread throughout Tingwei's prison.Leng Shouguang was quick to wit, tore off Cai Yong's jade pendant and threw it into the fire, and then fled the scene with his people.

It was a fluke that Leng Shouguang completed this incident. Obviously, the fire was caused by Han Long sent by Wang Yun.If Leng Shouguang was in the evening or earlier, he might have run into Han Long.But the two groups of people, one in front and the other behind, have done good things for each other.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Xie was very concerned about Wang Yun who thought he had successfully killed someone.Obviously, although Wang Yun is arrogant and arrogant, he still has the most basic sense of shame as a human being.Especially when dealing with someone like Cai Yong who is strictly speaking kind to him, he can't be hard-hearted after all.

In fact, from a psychological point of view, it is precisely a person like him who flaunts nobility, and when he does something wrong, his mood becomes more and more full of guilt.Therefore, Liu Xie clearly saw Wang Yun's usually frozen old face, flashing a trace of guilt and guilt that was not easy to be noticed.

However, soon Wang Yun was controlled by his lofty beliefs. He didn't make any further comments on this, but turned his head to look at Liu Xie, and said sonorously: "Your Majesty, I can't imagine that Chang'an has been like this recently." Misfortunes continue. Since this is the case, the old minister feels that His Majesty should show more sincerity and issue an edict of guilt! To appease the people of Chang'an. This matter is the same as killing Cai Yong, and it is also a strategy for the old minister to seek the country."

"Guilty order?" Liu Xie's face suddenly froze. After watching Wang Yun's pretentious performance again, Liu Xie thought that Wang Yun just wanted to use force to solve the Liangzhou tribes outside the pass. It's just killing two birds with one stone.Unexpectedly, all his previous foreshadowing was actually in this final trump card!

In his previous life, Liu Xie believed that the phenomenon of guilty edict was nothing more than the emperor's political show.But after going deep into this era, he realized that this was not the case at all.Human nature has always tended to avoid or whitewash mistakes, not to mention being the emperor of the "Son of Heaven", this position itself is destined to be a bright, correct and great endorsement, but what does the sinful edict show? The emperor is not qualified!
Counting the 5000 years of China, how many emperors are willing to write down their sins?It is usually a last resort when the monarch and ministers are misplaced, natural disasters and political crises are encountered.As soon as the Edict of Guilt comes out, the biggest consequence is not the gratitude of the people, but the impact on the majesty of the imperial power!
At this time, Wang Yun asked Liu Xie to write an edict of sin against himself, and his intention was very obvious and punishing.For one thing, he wanted to tell the world through the Edict of Guilt, that the imperial court was governed by celebrities like him, headed by Wang Yun;

Secondly, it is to put Liu Xie into the ranks of incompetent and stubborn emperors, until he, Wang Yun, can't play anymore, he Liu Xie is likely to come out to take over;

Three times, the intention is even more sinister, that is, to force Liu Xie to take all the incidents of thunder from the sky, Dong Zhuo's chaos, etc. on himself, and completely disregard the connection with celebrities, so that the scholar-bureaucrats after the cleansing will be the common people in the world The only object worthy of trust and gratitude!
At this moment, Liu Xie really felt that what Zhong Yao said was too correct: These people are not incompetent, but too capable!Even when the Han Dynasty was living and dying, they still couldn't forget to climb the highest peak of rule, embraced the power they hadn't touched for a long time, and refused to give up!

Once again, Liu Xie looked at the minister who seemed to have a glint in his eyes, and felt the coldness and pain of his heart being frozen in the ice cellar.
