Chapter 435

"After shaking him with prestige, he entered the palace and accused one person of killing him, then the matter of Cai Yong will be solved by itself."

These words are the original words that the old fox said at Ma Chao's house.Ma Chao didn't think much about it at the time, and asked, "Who will kill?"

As a result, the old fox cast a contemptuous glance, and replied with a lack of interest: "Anyone who gets a trick can be killed, as long as it is Wang Yun's subordinate."

So, poor Zheng Tai didn't know until his death that he himself was so miserable that he didn't even know the real culprit who killed him...

"Zhuzi uttered wild words, slandering this official!" Zheng Tai wanted to show off in front of Wang Yun earlier.After all, he believed that Wang Yun would not let his hands go if he said anything, and Ma Chao easily gave up the idea of ​​capturing Chang'an. Obviously, it was impossible to really put Wang Yun to death.

But cleverness was misunderstood by cleverness. Fortune is too tricky. At this time, I heard that Ma Chao slandered him so irresponsibly.Zheng Tai was naturally trembling with anger, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, don't listen to such rebellious ministers spitting blood. This humble minister is devoted to the country and works hard..."

As he was talking, Zheng Tai suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the court was very strange, and everyone began to turn their pity eyes from Wang Yun to him.As a result, Zheng Taicai suddenly reacted: Power is politics, and Ma Chao's killing at this time is just looking for an excuse, no matter how innocent he is, what's the use?
Sure enough, Ma Chao took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and said to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, this is a letter intercepted by someone. , tampering with the history of my big man. How can my humble servant allow him to be presumptuous in the court, and how can your majesty let him survive under the blue sky like this?

Xiao Huangmen immediately ran to Ma Chao, and took the Fufeng paper into his hands. Although he hadn't unfolded it, he saw that most of the paper was as clean as new, without a trace of pen or ink.It seemed that there was only one sentence on that piece of paper.The little Huangmen was shocked immediately, but when he looked up and saw Ma Chao's cold eyes, he backed away in fright, and hastily and fearfully delivered the Fufeng paper to Liu Xie.

But at this time, the faces of the ministers above the court were all ashen, and some of them were even more gloomy.But he dared not speak out, he could only hold his grief and anger in his chest, and stared at Ma Chao: This move was indeed Dong Zhuo's method to kill Zhang Wen back then!
And Ma Chao, a shameless guy, didn't even want to move his mind, he almost copied Dong Zhuo's original words!And the one who was shot while lying down was naturally the unlucky brother Yuan Shu in Yuzhou.He's so good, he's either been slandered for colluding with Zhang Wen or colluding with Zheng Tai, making it seem like he doesn't do anything serious other than colluding with the ministers of the court...

What's even more ironic is that it was Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi who bluntly exposed Dong Zhuo's method at the beginning.At that time, the Civil and Military Judiciary of the Manchu Dynasty regarded Ma Chao as an upright and upright minister of the great man.But now, things are different and people are different, where is another 'Ma Chao' who can stand out again?

Zheng Tai didn't say a word at this time, as an athlete in the political circle, he already knew that today's ending was already doomed.This matter has nothing to do with right and wrong, nothing to do with justice, the only thing that matters is politics: Ma Chao really came here to save Cai Yong, although I don’t know why he is determined not to capture Chang’an, to overthrow the imperial power, nor to oppose the scholar’s ​​power openly .But now it seems that in order to save his father-in-law, he has found a scapegoat.

That's right, the scapegoat was himself.

Only at this time did Zheng Tai deeply feel the unfairness of politics: Wang Yun was the mastermind who killed Cai Yong, and he personally ordered Cai Yong to be sent to death row.However, in order to convey to Wang Yun the message that he is superior to Shiquan in terms of absolute strength and force Wang Yun to let Cai Yong go, Ma Chao had to express it by killing himself.

It can be said that no matter it is the struggle of the three powers of imperial power, military power, and military power, the first unlucky ones are the small fish and shrimps attached to the power, Cai Yong is, and so is himself... So, apart from falling to the ground slumped , Seeing Wang Yun's changing and tangled eyes gradually becoming cold and ruthless, Zheng Tai couldn't say a word, and his grief-stricken heart completely fell to the bottom.

And the one who has a very different mind from Zheng Tai is Liu Xie who sits high on the dragon chair.At this time, he had already seen Ma Chao's handwriting on the Fufeng paper - it was not a long secret letter from Yuan Shu colluding with Zheng Tai at all, but a note with only one sentence: if you want to fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside, and you can do a lot of tricks in the bedroom no?
After Liu Xie finished reading, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly and strangely.But then suddenly, his face became angry and irritable: "Bold Zheng Tai, to do such a thing that insults the state system and tarnishes the history of Han! Come on, drag me out and behead him!"

Hearing this, the guards outside the palace strode towards Zheng Tai who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.And Zheng Tai didn't cry for grievances at all, but finally looked at Wang Yun with pleading eyes.Wang Yun, on the other hand, nodded resolutely and sadly: "You have to live, the old man has remembered this kindness."Your parents, wife and children, I will definitely treat them like close relatives!
That's right, that's the message of that final eye contact.But when Wang Yun looked at Ma Chao with cold and hateful eyes, he found that Ma Chao was staring at him at the same time!
Ma Chao broke through the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and was the number one killer in Yongliang. How sharp is his murderous look? !Although Wang Yun had also fought, he had lost his vigor after all.What's more, the gaze on the dragon chair is as cold as ice...

'They really came together? 'Wang Yun's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help feeling that the panic and worry of the past few days poured into his body, making his whole body extremely cold, as if he was in an ice cellar.After fighting with his legs for a while, he still couldn't support his body and felt exhausted. Wang Yun suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.

And this poor Lord Situ, old and weak, collapsed on the court hall, no one dared to step forward to help him.Because, these scumbags have already seen the silent but earth-shaking changes in the court from Zheng Tai: the imperial power seems to be combined with the military power again, and it is a pure alliance without the manipulation and planning of the military power.For a time, the whirlpool of politics became darker and more unpredictable. No one dared to help the representative of Shiquan at this sensitive moment...

However, after Ma Chao rolled his eyes twice, he strode up to Wang Yun, supported Wang Yun and said, "Master Situ, what's wrong with you?"The sad Wang Yun woke up leisurely, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Ma Chao leaning over and showing him a cold and strange smile, he couldn't help but let out a strange cry, and passed out again...

"Come here, send the imperial physician quickly! Help Lord Situ go down for treatment!" Liu Xie also spoke out at this time, but in his tone, no matter how he heard it, there was a hint of gloating.

"I have investigated the matter of Cai Congguan. Since he was framed by a traitor, he will be released from the death row immediately, and the official will be reinstated." After the imperial guards in the palace hurriedly carried Wang Yun away, Liu Xie spoke again. .But at this time, Ma Chao said: "Your Majesty, although Cai Congguan was framed and wrote history books, writing the "Hanshu" is a great ceremony of the country. Even though Cai Congguan was framed, he did not prove it. Cai Congguan is no longer fit to take on this great responsibility."

Liu Xie frowned when he heard the words, but then he was relieved, and said: "Ma Fuguo's words are reasonable. If so, then Cai Yong will be removed from his official position and demoted to grassroots. The writing of "Hanshu" is handled by Taifu Ma. Rizen is in charge."

Above the court, there was no voice of opposition.But Liu Xie and Ma Chao smiled at each other tacitly: Cai Yong was demoted to a grassroots, so he could not live in the mansion in Chang'an.And Ma Chao is Cai Yong's son-in-law, even if Cai Yong doesn't want to, he has no choice but to go back to Fufeng with Ma Chao.In other words, Liu Xie deliberately gave Cai Yong to Ma Chao.

And, not only that, Liu Xie is ready to give Ma Chao another person...
