Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 209 The World Is Enemy

Chapter 213

In ancient times, there were no entertainment items.

However, since ancient times, people's heart of gossip has never been lacking.After the incident of Ran Ming came out, it became a topic of conversation before and after dinner. It was just a rumor among the people.

But when it reached the court, the rumors changed again.

Talk about how Ran Ming established prestige in the army, how to win people's hearts, how to show compassion for soldiers, how to intervene in local politics, how to "seize the people's land", "rob the people's wealth", and "support the soldiers for self-respect".

He also specifically pointed out that the soldiers of the Canglang, Huxiaoying, Sujiejun, Beicuijun, Modaojun and other armies commanded by Wei Guoranming only knew about Ranming, but did not know what the emperor and Wei were.

Sili School Wei Jiquan was Ran Min's early family general, and he was extremely loyal to Ran Min.In the parallel history, Captain Ma of Changshui was willing to open the city to surrender to the Kingdom of Yan. When the Prince Ran Zhi and the Empress were captured in Longcheng, he was in the Kingdom of Yan with Zhong Shen, Tiao You and other ministers who were loyal to Ran Min. Prepare to wait for an opportunity to escape from Dragon City.

As a result, he was betrayed by a traitor, fell into a tight siege, and unfortunately was captured.After learning that Ran Zhi was poisoned to death by Murong Jun, he instigated the guards to rebel in the prison, and was beaten to pieces with sticks when things failed!
Ji Li is a lieutenant of Sili, equivalent to the current commander of the Beijing Military Region and a high-ranking official in Beijing, and a core member of Ran Min's core power circle.

Ji Li first heard about Ran Ming defrauding money and sex, and forcibly robbing women.He didn't feel that there was anything wrong. After all, in this era, there are only a handful of children of the common clan who have both ability and political integrity.

But when he heard that Ran Ming was embracing himself again, Ran Ming's subordinates only knew about Ran Ming, but not about Ran Min, so he jumped up against the case and shouted: "This is a rebellion!"

Ji Li didn't collude with the lieutenant general, but went directly to the palace alone to speak directly to Ran Min.

Of course, Ran Min is no ordinary person.

Ran Min was angry at first for having made 57 big belly women by Ran Ming, and then shocked.Later, he let the "deaf and dumb" intervene and found out the truth.

Although they didn't find out who was behind the scenes, they knew that someone was pouring dirty water on Ran Ming.

But to say that Ran Ming rebelled, Ran Min also found some clues.

Ran Min was secretly startled, and decided to hit Ran Ming.

But before Ran Min had time to beat Ran Ming, rumors emerged.

What caught Ran Min even more by surprise was that things were about to get out of Ran Min's control!
It was rumored in Yecheng that Ran Ming had inflated 57 widows' bellies by cheating and abducting them.At best, this kind of rumor is just the talk of the ignorant people.No one in the court of Wei paid any serious attention to this matter!

Obviously, all the princes in the court knew that this was just Ran Ming's ignorance.

Anyone with a little knowledge can understand.Ran Ming would definitely not do such deviant things.Although Ran Ming likes mature women, he also likes widows.

But as Ran Ming, what kind of woman he wants, I am afraid that as long as he shows his heart, countless women will rush to Ran Ming!

Although this rumor has limited damage to Ran Ming, Tiao You is a very defensive person.

The empress promised herself that when Ran Ming attains the crown in the future, she will marry Tiaoyou's granddaughter as her concubine!In Tiao You's eyes, Ran Ming is his grandson-in-law.Now someone dares to pour dirty water on Ran Ming, that's fine.

"Check, use all resources, at all costs! We must find out the source of the rumors and find out who is behind the scenes!"

Tiaoyou is the Sikong of the Wei State. The Sikong in the Wei and Jin Dynasties had different powers from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Sikong was just another name for the Ministry of Industry.And the Sikong etiquette, moralization, sacrifice and so on in the Zhou Dynasty.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sikong's power was far less powerful than that of the Han and Three Kingdoms period, but he was also in charge of impeaching officials, supervising officials, and accepting officials' actions on behalf of the emperor.

Originally, the Wei State regime was in turmoil, and local officials either surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, or abandoned their officials and returned to their fields.But when Ran Ming rewrote the battle of Liantai, relying on a pre-emptive strategy, taking advantage of the Jin Dynasty's lack of time to go north, he successively occupied six states of Qing, Yan, Luo, Hebei, Bing, and Henan.There were never less than [-] soldiers, and now there are more than [-] armored soldiers.

Yan, Dai, and Qin lost their temper after beating them.

When those gentry saw this posture, no one could shake Ran Min's position now!Come on, hurry up and hug Ran Min's thighs tightly, or you won't even be able to drink the soup!

At this time, the officials in the court of Wei State are no longer talents withered!Tiaoyou was originally in charge of Yushitai alone.He is not only Sikong, but also Yushi Zhongcheng, serving Yushi.Well now, there are too many officials to arrange.Yushi Zhongcheng was the younger brother of Cui Da, who was a compatriot of Cui Tong in Boling County, and his name was Meng Yan.

Ran Min wiped out Cui Tong's family.However, he adopted the method of wooing his younger brother Cui Dayizhi.Because Ran Ming also understands that the entire Cui family is too powerful in Hebei.Even Cui Yue, the current head of the family, was wrongly connected in the court of Wei Guo. Cui Yue, Lu Chen, and Liu Qun were uncles and cousins, and Liu Qun's mother was Cui Yue's aunt.Although Lu Chen is dead, but Lu Chen has contributed to supporting Ran Min, and Ran Ming also gave Lu Chen the title of Yuyang County King!Now Liu Qun is Ran Min's right-hand man, and Ran Min has to worry about Liu Qun's feelings.

Therefore, it is a big stick plus a sweet date for Cui Shi.

Cui Tongmanmen was destroyed but Cui Da was supported.

Not only did Cui Da become Tiaoyou's deputy, but he also gave Cui Yuedu Zhishangshu, the head of the Cui family, and the prince Shaobao!This is equivalent to the real power of the Minister of Finance!

It is said that politicians are the most shameless, instead of grudges against Ran Min for slaughtering dozens of Cui Tongmans, Cui sang praises to Ran Min.

Cui Da came to the Yamen and first met Tiao You.

Then respectfully replace the previous file.

Tiao You didn't rush to look, and glanced at Cui Da lightly, and then said: "About the rumors about His Royal Highness King Chu... have you heard?"

Cui Da wanted to curry favor with Tiaoyou, so he said sternly: "Your Majesty heard about it, not only heard about it, but also saw those innocent women who were deceived by His Highness the King of Chu, this His Highness the King of Chu is not a thing, so sad All good things..."

Cui Da couldn't continue with the next words.He raised his eyes and saw that Tiao You's face was ashen, and his eyes were like lightning.

"Oops!" Cui Da thought in his heart that something was wrong.This time the flattery was not shot well, it was shot on the horse's hoof!However, Cui Da is proficient in the eight flavors of being an official!
Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Cui Da immediately changed his words and said: "The lower official made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue! It is this rumor-monger who is not a thing." Then in front of Tiaoyou, he scolded the rumor-monger again!

At this moment, Tiaoyou saw Cui Da's brochure.It turned out to be a joint memorabilia written by dozens of censors and admonishers.The impeachment of Ran Ming has ulterior motives, and the intention is not cunning!

Tiao You was shocked at first, and stood up against the case, shouting: "This is fart!" Tiao You said indignantly: "As a censor and admonisher, I pay attention to the truth in everything, and dare to speak nonsense without evidence..."

No matter how stupid Cui Da was, he had come to his senses at this time.

The relationship between Sikong Tiaoyou and Ran Ming is absolutely extraordinary!
The key to being an official is to understand the boss's preferences!Thinking about this, Cui Da said: "I will send someone now, if I don't, I will go and find out who is maliciously slandering His Highness the King of Chu!"

Cui Da found out what Tiao You meant, and felt a lot more relaxed.After returning to the mansion, he immediately ordered the housekeeper to go out to find out the news.

Cui Dabi is actually a talent cultivated by the Cui family for many years.He is actually very clear.The rumor seems to be clueless, but the best thing Cui Da can think of is the ins and outs of this matter, from the initial slander, and then spreading rumors that Ran Ming has the intention of rebellion.This purpose is very clear, that is, step by step, get rid of Ran Ming and then go fast.If Ran Ming is eliminated, who will benefit the most?
Of course, according to Ran Ming's popularity, it must be the crown prince who is most in danger!
Ran Ming's Wenzhi and martial arts are excellent in everything, not to mention there are rumors in the court that the emperor often praises Ran Ming for his excellence.

In this way, the position of the crown prince is inevitably a bit embarrassing!

Ran Ming is the biggest variable if the prince wants to ascend the throne smoothly!Now the answer is almost out!

Cui Da also understood why those gentry families didn't support Ran Ming.

Because Ran Ming established Xue Er Academy, regardless of poor people, as long as they are of suitable age and self-motivated, they can enter Xue Er Academy to study!
Moreover, Ran Ming not only upheld Confucius' teaching without discrimination, but also opened up classics and historical books, agricultural arithmetic, astronomy, geography and military affairs, etc., to cultivate scholars in the world.

This touched the bottom line of the gentry.There are two lifelines of the gentry, one is land, and the other is culture!As long as they are literati, nine out of ten are from the gentry.Since the imperial examination system was not mature, the gentry controlled all the cultures in the world!

Conquer the world, as long as there are generals who are good at fighting, brave and fierce soldiers.But governing the world is inseparable from talents.These talents are either the children of the gentry, or the students of their clan studies. Therefore, the gentry controlled the situation of Chinese government in the feudal era of China.

The fields were distributed to the generals of the Wei army in the form of Yongyetian, and the trading of Yongyetian was prohibited.

Since then, Ran Ming has done all the most intolerable things for the gentry!The gentry had no reason to let Ran Ming go.

In the evening, Cui Da's housekeeper came back.Tell Cui Da about every move of the inquiring news!

Cui Da took a deep breath. He originally thought that the prince was only a member of the family behind the concubine Liu. Although the Liu family in Taiyuan is also a family, but since then he is a second-class noble family!
In order to make a good relationship, Cui Da also intends to use Cui's reputation to suppress Liu!But he didn't expect that the person who opposed Ran Ming was actually the entire northern gentry group!

The Taiyuan Wang family, Fan Yang Lu family, Wenxi Pei family, and Taiyuan Wen family, almost all the members of the Liubei branch of the wealthy families in the world, are on the side of the prince!
Hearing this information, Cui Da did not hesitate.Immediately he said to the butler: "Hurry up and go to the Sikong Mansion and ask someone for leave, just say that I suddenly suffered from a serious illness and was bedridden!"

"Alang, aren't you alright?"

"You don't have to worry about it, hurry up and go!"

On the seventeenth day of the second month of the fourth year of Yongxing, it was the morning court.

As usual, the eunuch shouted, "If there is a book to play, there is no book to retreat!"

As soon as the words fell, a tall and thick man, wearing a scarlet official robe, came out and said: "My lord, Zeng Xin, the imperial servant, has something important to tell His Majesty!"
