Han family achievements

Chapter 89 Kill Without Amnesty
Runan County Government.

The prefect Wang Kuang was tied to the ground, with a stern face, he stared at Cao Cao and cursed: "Cao Cao, if you slaughtered the nobles in Runan today, you will be smashed to pieces in the future!"

Cao Cao sat on the prefect's seat, looked at him, and said, "Poor."

Wang Kuang straightened his neck and said, "I'm not afraid of life and death, how can I be pitiful!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly, and said: "The Yuan family is punished, you are already a bereaved dog, you are mourning and barking, isn't it pitiful!"

"You!" Wang Kuang was furious.

Xiahou Dun came in at this moment and said, "Meng De, everything is ready."

Cao Cao stood up and said, "Pack up the prefect Wang and send him to Luoyang."

With a wave of Xiahou Dun's hand, several soldiers rushed in and dragged Wang Kuang away.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't kill him, Wang Kuang relaxed, and swallowed the curse words he had prepared.

As soon as Wang Kuang left, Xia Houdun said dissatisfiedly: "Meng De, Xu Ziyuan has been accepted, and I have to send troops to escort him back to his hometown. This man is greedy for money, lustful, and forgetful of righteousness. He is really a villain. respect him so much.”

Cao Cao's face remained motionless, he looked outside, and said with long eyes: "If I can build a mansion and build a government for General Zhengxi in the future, I must lack wise planners."

Xiahou Dun was startled, but immediately understood.

Cao Cao's background made scholars despise him, and not many people were willing to serve as his staff before he succeeded.

This is to catch one is one.

As for Xu You, after receiving a heavy gift, he still has to wait for Cao Cao to become a climate.

"Withdraw troops and return to Nanyang."

Cao Cao didn't care about money, so he walked out in big strides.

……

Luoyang Palace.

The sky was slightly bright, and Liu Bian woke up drenched in sweat.

He felt tired all over his body, but his mental state was particularly good, and he was unprecedentedly sober.

In the study, Liu Bian was wrapped in a blanket, drinking hot tea, and listening to Zuo Li talking about things inside and outside the palace.

Zuo Li stood respectfully not far away, and said with careful words: "Your Majesty, Shangshutai arrested a total of 73 members of the Yuan family, and they were all locked up in the Tingwei Mansion. The villain arrested 16 people and locked them up in the Yellow Gate. North Temple Prison."

Seeing that Liu Bian didn't speak, Zuo Li continued: "The prince is very dissatisfied with this, and asked the Tingwei's House to continue arresting him, but the Tingwei's House shirked it on the grounds of 'no evidence'."

Hearing this, Liu Bian took a sip of tea and nodded secretly, Zhong Yao still knew how to measure.

Hearing the sound of drinking tea, Zuo Li paused, and said: "Taiwei Dong wanted to get out of the city among the peasants, but was stopped by the villain."

Liu Bian frowned and said with a smile, "Not bad."

Excitement flashed in Zuo Li's eyes, and he said hastily, "I don't dare. Your Majesty, Situ and Sikong stayed in the Sikong Mansion and stayed away all night. Doctor Yang did not go to Shangshutai yesterday because of family matters."

Liu Bian wrapped himself in a blanket, and said nonchalantly, "Continue."

Zuo Li lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and said: "Yesterday, the empress dowager seemed to be about to issue a decree, but in the end she didn't. The Tang prefect once interceded with the prince for the Yuan family, but the prince didn't respond."

Liu Bian hugged his teacup, nodded and remained silent.

Empress Dowager He is not a woman with her own opinions. The closer the person is, the greater the influence on her. Now the closest person is his son.

'Tang Mao...'

Liu Bian thought that this cheap old man was obviously a conservative person.

At this time, Pan Yin came in, handed over several memorials, and said, "Your Majesty, this was sent by Shang Shutai last night."

Liu Bian reached out to take it, flipping it with one hand.

The first one is Wang Yun's, please Liu Bian issue an edict to completely liquidate the Yuan family and his party members.

Liu Bian shook his head and said to himself: "This prince is short-sighted."

Pan Yin and Zuo Li lowered their heads, as if they didn't hear.

The second is the joint playbook of Zhong Yao and Xun You, the main content of which is about "tax transfer", and it is requested to be implemented in Sili first to see the effect.

Liu Bian picked up the teacup with a thoughtful expression.

Zhong Yao, Xun You's proposal is indeed very good, but the captain of Sili is now also in charge of Huangfusong. Before it can be implemented, a suitable captain of Sili must be found.

Thinking about it, Liu Bian stretched out his hand to turn over one, which was a concerted pleading for the Yuan family. He looked at the signature and threw it aside.

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Bian looked up at the two people in front of him, and said, "Are there any other explanations about the Yuan family?"

Pan Yin didn't speak, but glanced at Zuo Li.

Zuo Li's expression became more cautious, and he said in a slight tone: "Return to Your Majesty, there are rumors everywhere outside, and they can say anything, and the villain is suppressing it."

Liu Bian felt his head ache, sat for a long time and let out an 'um', and said: "The way to deal with rumors is to have more rumors, suppression is not enough, you go and release some more outrageous rumors. For example, the eunuchs and The grievances and grudges of the Yuan family; the open and secret struggle between the Yang family and the Yuan family; Dong Zhuo will lead his troops to wipe out the Yuan and Yang families; another example, Wang Yun wants to kill all the world's aristocratic families, how outrageous and how..."

Zuo Li listened, and immediately compiled several stories in his mind, and quickly said: "The villain understands."

Liu Bian coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable again, and opened the last one.

After sweeping his eyes, Liu Bian frowned suddenly.

As soon as Ding Yuan arrived in Yanzhou, he suffered a defeat. Fortunately, his soldiers rescued him bravely. He had to retreat to Jiyin County and asked the imperial court to send troops to support him.

"There are consequences."

Liu Bian sighed lightly, and said: "Decree, Xu Rong will enter Yanzhou and be assigned by Ding Yuan. Cao Cao's troops will be stationed in Hanoi."

Yanzhou is already in chaos, and now it is about to add chaos.

"Yes." Pan Yin replied.

Liu Bian was sweating profusely, took another sip of hot tea, stood up and said, "I'll go back to sleep for a while, and I'll block anyone who comes."

"The villain takes orders." Pan Yin and Zuo Li responded at the same time.

Wrapped in a blanket, Liu Bian left the study and returned to the bedroom.

Tang Ji just woke up and was getting dressed when Liu Bian saw this, went to bed and hugged her and said, "Sleep with me for a while."

Tang Ji pursed her lips, her pretty face was pink, and said softly: "Your Majesty, your body is important..."

"Sleep is sleep, don't think about it." Liu Bian pulled her into his arms and covered her with a quilt.

Tang Ji lay in Liu Bian's arms, seeing that he had no intention of asking for it, she breathed a sigh of relief, and tucked up the quilt for him.

……

As the sky was getting brighter, Wang Yun entered the palace early in the morning.

The palace was deserted, except for the guards on duty, there were almost no servants and maids.

Wang Yun entered Shangshutai, came to his seat and sat down on his knees, then raised his head and looked around indifferently.

Yuan Kui's position is vacant, Sangong's Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Dong Zhuo's position is vacant, and Yang Biao's position is also vacant.

He was the only one in the huge Shangshutai.

A strange look appeared on Wang Yun's face, and an indescribable excitement surged up in his heart.

After a while, he returned to normal and lowered his head to deal with the notebook on the table.

After sitting down, the sky became bright, and people began to move around at the Shangshutai.

Wang Yun looked at the memorabilia in which the prefect of Hanzhong asked for an increase in the number of soldiers in his hand, ignored it, put it aside, and asked the Zhonghuang Gate not far away, "Is your majesty recovering?"

Zhonghuangmen quickly raised his hand and said: "Go back to the prince, the villain doesn't know."

Wang Yun lowered his head and thought, when he heard footsteps coming in from outside, he turned his head and saw Zhong Yao and Xun You coming hand in hand.

He frowned subconsciously, then sat up straight, with an indifferent expression, and said, "Is there a result of the interrogation?"

Zhong Yao saw the ceremony, then handed over an official document, and said solemnly: "Go back to the prince, the trial at the Tingwei Mansion has been completed, and the case is expected to be closed within three days."

Wang Yun's complexion changed slightly, he took the playbook and read it quickly, then turned his head suddenly to look at Zhong Yao, the corners of his eyes twitched, he suppressed his anger, and said, "Only these?"

Except for Yuan's family, this official document involved less than ten people in total!
The Yuan family occupied half of the imperial court, with disciples and old officials all over the world, but in the end there were only less than ten party members of moderate size!

Zhong Yao raised his hand and said, "Yes. The Yuan family's crime is that they colluded with the Yellow Turbans, which is treason. This matter is confidential, not many people know about it, and there are even fewer participants, so there are only so many."

Wang Yun looked directly at Zhong Yao with icy eyes, and said, "Lieutenant Zhong Ting, what do you mean?"

Seeing this, Xun You hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Yuan family's involvement is too sensitive to be punished. It needs to be terminated as soon as possible so that the people of the world can be reassured."

Wang Yun looked at him from the corner of his eyes, his heart became even more angry, suddenly he understood, his expression became more indifferent, and said: "Zhong Tingwei, Xun Shangshu, is there anything in this that this old man shouldn't know?"

Is this alluding to their cover?

Xun You was stunned, and said, "Your Majesty, this method is for the sake of the overall situation and has no selfish intentions."

Wang Yun snorted coldly, stared at the two of them, and said: "Eliminate the evil, or you will be devoured, such a simple truth, do I need this old man to teach you?"

Seeing that Wang Yun refused to give up, Zhong Yao explained more seriously: "My lord, how many scholars in the world can escape from the relationship? Not to mention other things, the lord and the Yuan family also have in-laws, right?"

Wang Yun's face felt feverish, his eyes kept blinking, the anger in his heart was hard to contain, his chest heaved, and he shouted: "That can't be done like this, we must kill everyone to make an example! All the henchmen in the capital must be captured. One slipped through the net!"

Xun You and Zhong Yao looked at each other. What Wang Yun said was not unreasonable, but the problem is that it is not a peaceful and prosperous time. If you follow Wang Yun's words, the world will be shaken and people will turn away. It will be harmful to the court and the great man. !
Both Zhong Yao and Xun You saw the difficulties in their eyes, and they didn't know how to stop Wang Yun from going his own way.

It can't be said that this is the meaning of His Majesty in the palace, right?

On the surface, His Majesty in the palace was ill, and he had never been involved in the Yuan family's case, and he didn't even know about it.

Seeing that the two were silent, Wang Yun suppressed his anger, took out a document from his bosom, and said, "Xun Shangshu, you can arrange it."

Xun You didn't understand, so he took it and opened it.

This is an appointment document, and 12 people, including Li Ru, were appointed as Xingcao Shangshu. Except in Shangshutai, they were all important officials in Jiuqing.

Seeing that Wang Yun told him so clearly, Xun You deliberately refused, and went to the palace to ask Liu Bian for instructions later, but Wang Yun, who was in charge of recording the book, was in charge of Xing Cao, and it was his authority to appoint Xing Cao Shangshu.

Xun You hesitated for a while, then said, "Your Majesty, according to Shangshutai's rules, this matter requires the consent of more than half of the clerks."

Wang Yun snorted, turned around and sat back, and said, "Then you can ask them."

When Zhong Yao heard this, he couldn't help looking at Wang Yun with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

If you really want to ask those people with this document, Ding Gong and Liu Hong will probably not have any objections, and Dong Zhuo and Yang Biao are unlikely to object.

There will be almost no obstacles to Wang Yun's appointment document!

Xun You also thought about it, his eyes moved, he raised his hand and said: "The next official takes orders."

Seeing that he agreed, Zhong Yao was about to speak, but Xun You pulled him and went out together.

Wang Yun's eyes lingered coldly on their backs, thinking about his grand plan in his heart.

After leaving the door of Shangshutai, Zhong Yao couldn't help but said: "Shangshu Xun, the prince clearly wants to cultivate a private person, how can you agree?"

Xun You patted the document in his hand and said with a smile, "With this document, if I send people to consult the princes, there may not be any results in three to five days."

Zhong Yao immediately understood, followed with a smile, then restrained his smile, and said solemnly: "We must conclude the trial as soon as possible, what if the prince does not agree?"

As Wang Yun was the Minister of Records, the others remained silent. If Wang Yun insisted on punishing Lian and ordering Cao and other temples to continue arresting him, the two of them would be powerless to stop them.

Xun You pondered, he also did not expect that Wang Yun, who is usually silent, would have such a strong side, but those few who recorded the books did not do anything, and this book table seemed to be Wang Yun alone. worth it.

They must close the case as soon as possible without Liu Bian's will or intervention. The biggest difficulty here is Wang Yun!
"Can you ask the queen mother to come forward and persuade the prince?" Xun You asked tentatively.

Zhong Yao shook his head resolutely, and said solemnly: "The queen mother cannot be allowed to participate in political affairs."

Xun You also nodded, and said, "Then, please ask Da Sima to come forward?"

Zhong Yao thought for a while and said, "I'm worried that the prince may not buy it."

Xun You started to frown, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Someone from the Wang family walked very close to the Yuan family, do you want to hint?"

Zhong Yao hesitated, and immediately said: "It can't be used unless it is absolutely necessary. It can't be delayed until the day after tomorrow at the latest. Let's think of other ways first."

Xun You hummed, and the two left side by side, continuing to talk as they walked.

"I'll ask Doctor Yang to come forward later to appease some people."

"Yes, with Dr. Yang coming forward, he should be able to stabilize some people. Then ask him to write letters in the name of Shangshutai to some people outside Beijing, especially those state shepherds, prefects, and famous people."

"Okay. Have you returned the Tiger Talisman?"

"It has been taken away by Da Sima. I heard that the prefect of Kuaiji lived in Nangong last night?"

"Well, there are rumors in the palace that his daughter is very much loved by His Majesty."

"A man of integrity."

"Has Jin Shang entered Beijing?"

"No, but the military power has been lowered, so there shouldn't be any trouble."

The two of them walked out of the palace gate, and before they had gone far, many rumors were stuffed into their ears.

A group of people passed them shoulder to shoulder, scrambling for words.

"Have you heard? The Yuan family's four generations and three fathers were all bought with money from eunuchs!"

"I've heard, I've heard, the Yuan family eunuched a man and sent him to the palace for this reason, it's really cruel..."

"You know all this? Then you heard that half of the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou are provided by Yuan's family behind the scenes?"

"I don't know, but do you know Dong Zhuo? His surname is not Dong, but Yuan, and he is the illegitimate son of Yuan Kai!"

Zhong Yao, Xun You walked far away with a strange expression and was silent for a long time, Zhong Yao couldn't bear it anymore, looked at Xun You and said, "You did it?"

Xun You's face was tangled, and he murmured: "I just arranged some nursery rhymes, I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."

The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say, so they stopped talking and acted separately.

……

In the evening, there were suddenly more memorials to intercede for the Yuan family, each of which was full of weight. Jiuqing in the imperial court, nearby state shepherds, governors, prefects, etc., and some famous Confucian scholars and gentry officials wrote letters one after another.

In Shangshutai, Wang Yun is still alone.

He looked at the mountains of memorials in front of him, and said with a gloomy face, "They all intercede for the Yuan family?"

Xingcao's five servants stood in front of him, and one of them said in a low voice, "Yes."

With fire in Wang Yun's eyes, he said, "There are so many members of the Yuan family, yet Captain Ting wants to use only ten people to close the case!"

The five servants lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Two of the five people were more or less related to the Yuan family, and they were worried about being implicated.

Wang Yun suppressed his anger, his face was indifferent, his eyes flickered for a while, he took out a note from his arms, looked at the five people with no expression on his face, and said: "You lead people, arrest people according to this list, if you catch them, shut them down." Enter the servant's mansion."

The five servants took the list and glanced at it, their expressions changed and they looked at each other.

One of the servants said anxiously: "My lord, there are a few people here, I'm afraid we have no right to arrest them."

Wang Yun looked at him and said, "I say if you can catch it, you can catch it."

The attendant looked at Wang Yun's face which was neither angry nor majestic but rather chilly, he was startled, he quickly raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty obeys."

Watching them leave, Wang Yun couldn't get rid of his anger. He got up suddenly, left Shangshutai, and went to Jingfu Hall.

He was stopped by the little yellow gate at the door.

Wang Yun raised his hand and said: "Please pass it on for me, Wang Yun has something urgent to ask His Majesty, it is extremely urgent!"

Xiao Huangmen bowed slightly and said: "The prince is late, His Majesty just took medicine and fell asleep."

Wang Yun hesitated in his heart, and asked for a moment: "If Your Majesty wakes up, can you tell me as soon as possible?"

Xiao Huangmen looked distressed, and said: "My lord, the villain is on duty, and I don't know when His Majesty will wake up."

Wang Yun was silent again and again, unwilling to be reconciled to the force, and said: "I know."

As soon as he left, Zuo Li walked out slowly, looked at his back, took out a note from his arms, glanced at the name on it, shook it with a smile, and threw it on the ground casually.

At this time, a Zhonghuangmen came behind him and said in a low voice: "My lord, those five people were loaded into a carriage and sent to Tingwei's Mansion."

Zuo Li clasped his hands, a ruthless look flashed across his snow-white face, and said, "Did those people find out anything?"

Zhonghuangmen said: "There is no news yet."

Zuo Li snorted coldly and said, "Useless things!"

He was a little impatient, worried that others would take the credit, but he didn't dare to leave the palace.

At this moment, Pan Yin came back from the Canglong Gate and hurried to Liu Bian's bedroom.

Regardless of whether Liu Bian woke up or not, he knocked hard on the door and called out in a low voice, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

After clapping twice, Tang Ji opened the door from the inside.

Pan Yin hurriedly saluted, and then went in, saw Liu Bian lying on the bed drinking tea, walked up quickly, and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Chief Huangfu Jian, saying that he found out that the Yuan family hid most of the money and provisions in Guandu .”

Liu Bian sat up straight, his eyes wide open, and said, "How many?"

He is short of money now!
Pan Yin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled embarrassingly, and said, "This villain didn't ask."

Liu Bian frowned, looked at him angrily, thought again and again, his eyes sparkled, and said: "It should be quite a lot. Huangfu Jianchang did a good job. He sent 1000 people from the imperial army and ordered him to search. Take it back to Beijing. Cao Cao changed his course and went straight to Guandu, if there is any obstacle, I will... kill him without mercy!"
