The Three Kingdoms: General Yu She, reincarnated a hundred times.
Chapter 107 is practically my intelligence network and eyes and ears.
Chapter 107 is practically my intelligence network and eyes and ears.
Meeting Liu Ning's suspicious gaze, Yu She remained calm and sincere.
"I know that Your Highness will have doubts when I bring this up."
If I were to arrest these loyal and virtuous men on the grounds of plotting to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Your Highness would inevitably suspect me of aiding and abetting the wicked and harming the loyal and virtuous.
However, if I were to ambush them beforehand at the place where they plotted to assassinate Dong, and capture them on the spot when they acted, it would show how far their plot had been exposed.
At that time, there will be no other way but to imprison them all and protect them. Your Highness will also understand my true feelings.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ning thought to himself: Just as Yu She said, if even the location and time of these people's conspiracy have been leaked to Yu She.
It is clear that besides their loyalty, they have no planning skills. Such careless people, even if they are not captured by Yu She this time, will surely be captured by Li Ru next time.
Yu Shezhi could still live if he was captured, but Li Ruzhi would surely die if he was captured!
Moreover, Liu Ning had come to a lot of conclusions during this time. If Yu She did not have the heart to support the Han Dynasty and did not want to eliminate Dong Zhuo, then there was no need for him to take the risk of keeping him in the mansion.
A man of his stature, a man of unparalleled talent, would surely plan far more than three steps ahead. Since he spared me today, he must have some ulterior motive for the future.
However, whatever his intentions may be, if he wants to leverage his status to his advantage, it can only be after eliminating Dong Zhuo!
So—could it be—that Yu She was truly a loyal and virtuous man of the Han Dynasty, single-mindedly dedicated to eliminating Dong Zhuo?
Thinking of this, Liu Ning could only say rather strangely, "General, you have thought things through. In that case, please take the trouble to—to put them in jail and protect them—protect them."
"Your Highness, rest assured, this is my duty to uphold the Han Dynasty."
After Yu finished speaking, he pointed to the list of officials on the table and said, "..."
"Your Highness, I am new here and have limited knowledge of the officials in the court. Who among you is loyal and virtuous? Who is treacherous and wicked? Who can be persuaded to join your faction? Who are the eyes and ears of the traitor Dong Zhuo?"
"Please instruct me, Your Highness, on how to plan for the future."
Although Yu She had studied under Wang Yun in Chang'an in his previous life and had some interactions with important officials such as Shi Sunrui and Yang Zan, he was still a student of Wang Yun.
The problem is that Dong Zhuo has controlled the court for so long that now no one openly discusses who is loyal and who is treacherous.
He would comply with anything that cost him money.
Yu She remembered that in his previous life, when he was indulging in the company of dancing girls, Dong Zhuo, in order to make up for the financial deficit in building Meiwu, ordered the destruction of Wuzhu coins and the casting of smaller coins. He also ordered all the bronze figures, bells, and horses from Luoyang and Chang'an to be used for recasting.
This ultimately led to a situation in the Guanzhong region where goods were cheap and commodities were expensive, causing widespread poverty and hardship.
Such an edict must have been issued and passed through the Ministry of Personnel, which was controlled by Wang Yun. With Wang Yun's abilities, how could he not see the flaws in this policy?
However, Wang Yun was able to help Dong Zhuo suppress dissenting voices in the court and implement such corrupt policies. This is why, while the other three high-ranking officials under Dong Zhuo changed hands one after another, Wang Yun remained firmly in his position as Minister of Works, seemingly unperturbed.
Besides Wang Yun, there was also Wu Fu, who was captured by Fengxian in the previous life. He could even speak intimately with Dong Zhuo. Before he made his move, who could have known that he was loyal and righteous and wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo?
Such people are numerous in this city of Chang'an today, many of whom are loyal and righteous, but most of them are deeply hidden.
Yu She, a newcomer from Nanyang, found it difficult to discern the true intentions of these people in a short period of time.
But things are different every ten thousand years!
When she was in Luoyang, Princess Wannian was one of the few people the emperor could completely trust.
The fact that previous emperors sent Liu He to escape to Luoyang to contact the feudal lords, and that Wang Yun and others had the emperor's secret edict in their hands in the previous life, shows that although this emperor was young, he was very shrewd and had long been plotting to kill Dong Zhuo. He was by no means a puppet to be manipulated.
Since the emperor wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, the first thing he had to figure out was which officials in the court were loyal to the Han dynasty and trustworthy, and which were loyal to the traitor Dong Zhuo and could not be entrusted with important matters.
As one of the few people in the palace who could conspire with the emperor, Princess Wannian must have obtained a lot of information from him beforehand.
If we can get the information out of Princess Wannian, wouldn't we be able to obtain the information that the Emperor has been holding back for so long?
For example, in his previous life, since Wang Yun was able to obtain the emperor's secret edict and launch a major event, he must have secretly conspired with the emperor long ago.
If I had known his true political leanings earlier, I wouldn't have been schemed against by him.
Having learned from the lessons of his previous life, Yu She in this life is determined to take precautions and thoroughly understand the hidden political stances of these officials in advance, so that even if he manages to guard against Wang Yun, someone else might suddenly jump out from somewhere and cause bloodshed, making him repeat the same mistake again.
These loyal and upright officials in the court, who would hide, deceive, and fawn over him when facing him, would they continue to pretend when facing the emperor?
But the emperor wouldn't keep it a secret for ten thousand years!
Yu She sized up the slender girl before him, dressed in a dancer's gown, her black hair cascading down to her waist, her figure slender and graceful. His gaze held a profound meaning.
"These are my spies, my undercover agents, and my eyes and ears to monitor all officials."
Princess Wannian felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she slightly avoided his gaze and lowered her eyes.
"Since you, General, are dedicated to restoring the Han Dynasty, how can I stand idly by? However, my knowledge is limited and may not be accurate. If you intend to conspire with these people on important matters, you should think carefully."
After speaking, she picked up the list of officials on the table and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages for Yu She one by one.
After listening for a while, Yu She realized that Wan Nian was only talking about low-ranking officials and had not mentioned Wang Yun or others at all. He knew that he had not yet gained her complete trust.
He was not in a hurry, because something was about to happen that would bind him firmly to Wan Nian and the Emperor, and completely gain their trust.
The two then chatted happily about the affairs of the officials until late at night. Wan Nian went to bed on Yu She's bed, while Yu She treated her with great respect and continued to study diligently by candlelight at his desk.
This wasn't the first time the two had interacted like this. After all, Wan Nian was currently a dancer in Yu She's household. If she went to Yu She's room late at night and then left to return to her own room to rest, the people in the household would inevitably become suspicious and start gossiping.
Although Yu She was fond of dancers, it was just a way to relax when studying was tedious. Right now, he had a grand plan in mind, so how could he let momentary lust ruin his important matters?
Liu Ning lay fully clothed on Yu She's couch, gazing at Yu She's refined and gentle profile as he pondered deeply under the candlelight, and found it difficult to fall asleep.
"Although General Yu was a loyal and righteous man, he was very respectful to me and never overstepped his bounds."
But if one day the traitor is truly eliminated, how will I explain my innocence towards him?
