Chapter 3521 Preparing a meeting gift
In later generations, not to mention dozens or hundreds of students died, even if tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people died, the politicians would not blink even more, but it was a little different in the Han Dynasty.
Of course, many of these students are secondary children of family members, and the free-range people cannot be considered as smart, intelligent and talented, but no matter how stupid they are, they are all flesh for their parents!
Now that children have inexplicably become unrest parties, this problem is a big deal!
When Cao Cao was working on the emperor before, everyone stood by and watched. After all, the emperor is just a child from another family. As long as his family and his power and status are not damaged, what does it matter if he changes to the emperor?
When Cao Cao was working on all officials before, everyone stood by and watched. After working on a few officials, there would be more carrot pits? Will there be opportunities for bystanders at that time? So what's wrong with watching?
But now when Cao Cao was working on children from ordinary families, the involvement was not only huge, but the key was that these families could not bear the charge!
Even if Cao Cao will no longer pursue the matter at this stage, what about the future?
The name of a traitor is placed on his head and may become a bomb that detonates the entire family at any time!
Therefore, the contradiction arises naturally.
Cao Cao's side must define these people as reactionary rebels who opposed Cao's army, the court, and the world, so that they can kill them reasonably, achieve meritorious results, and do not have to bear any other responsibility.
For the family and family whose children were killed, they must take off the hat. Even if Cao Cao's side said that they could determine that these students were deceived, instigated, and abducted, it would not work!
On the one hand, the relationship between traditional family families in Shandong in the Han Dynasty was a result of both losses and prosperity. On the other hand, Cao Cao killed too many people in the past few years by taking advantage of the name of traitors and rebellion, which led to the Shandong gentry and gentry not believing in the promises of Cao Cao!
Xu You is dead!
Wang Jie is also dead!
And Kong Rong is also dead!
During this period of Cao Cao's rule, are there few celebrities and gentry families who were killed openly and secretly by Cao Cao?
These things are like hidden dangers and hidden injuries. They are not obvious in normal times and will not be revealed. But now, they are induced in this change!
Even so, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others were still trying hard to control the situation.
Xun Yu made an appointment with the Liu family in Xiangyi, Dai family in Suiyang, and others to comfort and promise, saying that this incident was caused by the thief in Jizhou, and then praised the literary literacy of the Liu family and the great talent, saying that the Han Dynasty needed outstanding talents like Dai family in Liu family...
Of course, Xun Yu is not aimless.
The Liu family in Xiangyi has quite accomplished in the Book of Changes, while the Dai family in Suiyang is a masterpiece of the Dai Lixue.
Simply put, it is just a differentiation and temptation.
Both families pay more attention to academic research and have not made much achievements in the officialdom before. In this incident, ordinary tribesmen died, so they are not a big loss...
Living people can sell them, and dead people can sell them.
The Liu family of Xiangyi and Dai family of Suiyang were originally thinking that anyway, people cannot be resurrected after death, and human blood steamed buns are also steamed buns, so don’t use bean buns as dry food. If you use this time to get the family to enter the court, it is not a big deal, just think that the stupid child in the family jumped into the moat of Xu County and committed suicide.
Anyway, many people have died or injured these days.
But no one expected that Hongnong Yang took action...
Strictly speaking, it’s just saying... Oh, I’m saying it.
Yang Biao wrote an article mourning his children, but for some reason it suddenly spread!
"Alas! I'll be sad! I'll be more than 20 years old and I'll be empty in one day!"
"I am in Han Dynasty and I am willing to be a member of Liang Dong, seek martial arts outside, promote literary tribute from inside, and lead the grace to be loyal to the ministers."
"However, when encountering a bad time, the three dictates of the Tao are not good, the enemy is in conflict with the fate, the thief is in danger, the sincere advice is given to the earth, and the dangerous words are given to you."
"The world is long and long, and life is short and disaster!"
"Alas! I don't see the ghost of the marquis, I don't see the marquis, I don't see the marquis, I don't see the marquis, I don't see the marquis, I don't see the marquis, I don't see the marquis of Ji Zi!"
"Why not care about the birth of the flesh and blood, why should we pay attention to the loyalty of the court and the country be born? The son who is coming is not attainable, and the son who is coming is not true!"
"Hu Qikuo's camp is in a state of chaos, and it is always good. If it is not the same as each other, it will only be in a state of chaos and destruction!"
"Ah, Hu Jieshi, Hu is not the minister! How painful it is, how sad it is, how sad it is!"
As soon as the article came out, the limelight in Xu County suddenly changed!
If it were based on the historical situation, most of the Hongnong Yang family should be in Hongnong County. However, now the Cao army fought with the Cavalry in Heluo, and adhered to the principle that a gentleman did not stand under a dangerous wall, the Yang family members in Hongnong County naturally came to the Central Plains of Shandong and temporarily lived around Xu County, Kyoto.
In fact, Heluo was occupied and Yang was driven out of his homeland, which was nothing.
After all, it would be good to be able to live these days, and the displaced family is not just the Yang family.
So if Yang Xiu didn't die, Yang Biao wouldn't get angry at this time!
Although there is no word cursing Cao Cao, who are Guihou and others?
Anyone who read this for a few days generally understands it, and then he understands the meaning of Yang Biao's mention of these allusions!
Therefore, no matter how you want to sell blood steamed buns for children, you have to take into account your face. At least you can't eat them like the way you eat them in later generations. The Liu family of Xiangyi, Dai family of Suiyang and others changed their promises one after another, or refused, or thanked the guest. At most, just say "Let's talk about it," and there will be no further text...
The tide was gone without the support for suppression, and was disturbed by Yang's article. In addition, Cui Yan could not be found, and the whole situation could not be suppressed and became more and more riotous.
Cao Cao's pressure on Shandong for many years was like a continuous compression spring. Now that he has found some outlets for catharsis, he suddenly burst out!
Cao Cao killed people in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Heluo, and Jizhou. Although it was a moment of fear and obedience, it laid many hidden dangers, and now these hidden dangers began to retaliate against Cao Cao!
...
...
Nowadays, the people sitting in the halls of Prime Minister Cao Cao are naturally the complete Cao family. Most of them are both detrimental to Cao Cao and prosper together. But after all, people's hearts are separated from each other, who can know that all of them are loyal to Cao Cao?
The chaos in Xu County has been in a state of restlessness at the beginning to the current tide, which is only one or two days, which makes people from Shandong who are used to slow pace and progressing gradually.
Some elderly people gathered on the streets of the palace and shouted and whined.
These elderly people, with crutches and white hair, were tragic in the cold wind, and were tragic torture, saying that they would severely punish the murderer, arrest the butcher, and punish the traitor.
Even a fool knows that something is wrong.
Liu Xie stood at the gate of the palace. Not only did he not order these old men to expel them, but instead asked the eunuchs of the yellow gate in the palace to come forward and bring brocade mats to these old men so that they could stand tired and sit down and rest.
This ambiguous attitude has led to more and more people gathering in front of the palace!
These people did not use swords and guns, nor did they name Cao Cao, but only asked to investigate and arrest the murderers who killed students, punish and slaughter innocent thieves...
This makes it difficult for the people from the Cao family to do anything. We can't just do it here without any money on the spot, right?
It is absolutely impossible to confess your guilt.
If you apologize, you can't even think about it.
Everyone was sitting here, and they were also confused. Why did this chaos happen like this?
Although it is necessary to do a major matter carefully, Cui will definitely make a secret statement, but it is impossible that there is no sign at all?
It is extremely difficult to imagine that there is no contact or exchange of interests in advance.
Moreover, once there are more people involved, there will inevitably be some problems in one way or another, and if the news is leaked, it will naturally be known to Xun Yu and others.
But until now, everyone here can't figure out how Cui Yan contacted others...
From the time Cui Yan arrived in Xu County, he was basically under surveillance.
Although they are not under house arrest and do not send people to follow each other in person at all times, outside the house, on both sides of the street, among the government offices, there are spies. No matter what Cui Yan does or who he sees, he will report it.
"Outside the city!" Cheng Yu whispered, "Outside the city... we were negligent!"
Xun Yu nodded slightly.
He also thought of it, but there was no way.
Surveillance requires manpower.
This war consumed a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and the surveillance network that could be maintained in Xu County was already doing its best. The more remote areas outside the city were unable to cover the Cao school clerk.
"I dare to ask Ling Jun, what should I do to respond to the public opinion now?" Ren Jun didn't care how Cui Yan contacted him. The biggest headache he had now is how to deal with this situation.
After all, he killed someone!
If Xun Yu can't withstand the pressure, then he will become the scapegoat of the big man!
Fortunately, Xun Yu was calm enough, so he reached out to signal, "Now the thief is clear, I should be in the dark. Let the Zhonglang be at ease."
Ren Jun took a breath, calmed his emotions a little, nodded, and stopped talking.
Now that things have come, he can only trust Xun Yu and will not sell him...
Xun Yu looked around for a while and said slowly: "I'm summoning you to come now, and there's only one thing to tell you... The lord is coming soon!"
"ah?!"
"Very good!"
"The lord is here, I'll feel at ease when I wait!"
『Haaaha, it's so good!』
"Don't worry, that's fine!"
Everyone responded with joy and smiled.
Xun Yu nodded, then arranged matters for everyone, requiring everyone to maintain loyalty to Cao Cao at the last critical moment.
Everyone also answered and patted their chests to promise.
Xun Yu encouraged him again and asked the people in the Prime Minister's Office to disperse and do their own work.
Everyone surrendered.
"Zhongde, stay."
When Cheng Yu was about to leave, Xun Yu suddenly spoke out to keep him.
Cheng Yu stopped, came back to sit down, bowed his hand and said, "What else does Lingjun have to do?"
Xun Yu was silent for a moment and asked Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, when will the discussion here be spread outside the mansion?"
Cheng Yu whispered: "It will be passed on tonight."
Xun Yu nodded, "Fastly stare at them."
Cheng Yu bowed his order and immediately stepped down.
...
...
dusk.
In spring, it is still dark very early, and these days are not very clear and mostly haze, so it has become a little dim at the hour of You.
Among the official hall, a small official swayed out of the corridor and went to the side courtyard.
Because the storm broke out in Xu County these two days, the minor officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion were on standby for twelve hours, and they did not leave the government office, and they were all in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The little official shrank his head, glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he rushed to the side courtyard wall.
When I arrived at the wall, I shrank my head and looked around again. I was sure that there was no one, so I learned to bark twice under the wall.
A moment later, outside the wall, there was also a barking sound from dogs.
The little official quickly picked up a small stone on the ground, took out the towel hidden inside the sleeve and wrapped it on it, then took a step back, throwing the towel wrapped in the stone out of the wall.
Hearing a "click" sound, and then two more dog barking, the little official let out a long breath, and was walking back with his sleeves. He turned around the corridor. When he saw Cheng Yu and a few people standing in full!
The little official was so scared that he almost jumped up on the spot. He couldn't even speak, but subconsciously moved aside.
『The news... has spread out?"
Cheng Yu turned his head slightly and looked at the wall.
The little official's head, face, and body suddenly appeared, and rolled down, "...villain, villain... no, I don't know what... what news...
Cheng Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense, "Catch it up! Strictly interrogate it!"
The escort of Cao's mansion, like a wolf and a tiger, rushed up and pressed the minor official. Before the minor official could shout, a piece of rag blocked the minor official's mouth. It was like a bundle of animals, tied his hands and feet together, and then he carried one by one and walked out.
Cheng Yu snorted, turned to ask the guards beside him, "How many have Xiyuan caught?"
"Report to the doctor, two arrested."
Cheng Yu yelled, "Even this one is counted, there are five... This Prime Minister's Mansion... is really similar to a sieve..."
...
...
"The thief Cao is coming back..." Zhen Zhen whispered, "It's urgent..."
"I originally wanted Mr. Yang to come forward..." Cui Yan also whispered, "I never thought that this old thief had just written an article... and he didn't even show his head..."
Cui Yan made a hand in the dark under the light.
Everyone wants to be an oriole, and even wants to be a hunter behind the oriole.
So, who is the chilling cicada?
"If the thief Cao came here to quell the rebellion, he would have to pull back his troops from Jizhou..." Cui Yan whispered, "In this way, Jizhou is empty, and you can welcome the cavalry north and enter the Central Plains!"
Cui Yan and Zhen Zhen, after a period of running-in, finally got together under the pressure brought by Cao Cao.
Cui Yan also completely abandoned the plan to cooperate with Cao Cao, and then the Zhen family's path turned toward the direction of the cavalry.
The rebellion in Xu County was Cui Yan's letter of fame to Fei Qian, the General of the Cavalry.
It was Cui Yan who made such a move that Zhen Zhen risked his life to cover up Cui Yan.
"The meaning of the envoy Cui..." Zhen Zhen didn't understand Cui Yan's meaning.
『Jizhou is empty…』 Cui Yan didn’t keep it in a silence, 『Yecheng…If Yecheng is in chaos again, then…』
Zhen Zhen understood a little, "Cui Jun, you mean... Cao's son..."
『Not only that... Cao thieves led their troops to quell the rebellion," Cui Yan smiled and said, 『This front line...hehe! If the cavalry comes out of the pass, the world will be determined! This is a gift from the cavalry!"
Public opinion can kill ordinary people, but if you want to rely solely on public opinion, you can defeat a politician, obviously putting the cart before the horse.
Politicians are not afraid of public opinion, but only fear of political enemies.
And most of the time, political enemies are going to take action, and a big gift package for public opinion is sent.
Cui Yan and Zhen Zhen did not think that just a few mobs could kill Cao Cao, just to cause trouble for Cao Cao and then pull Cao Cao back from the outside. Once Cao Cao appears, Jizhou and the front line will definitely be affected!
At that time, even if Cao Cao cleans up Xu County again or reaches a compromise with the emperor and officials, he will tie Cao Cao's hands and feet in Xu County for a period of time. This period is part of Cui Yan's conspiracy, which is what he said is the meeting gift to the cavalry!
Zhen Zhen's eyes lit up, but soon frowned and said, "However, Cao Zhe came, you and I are in danger here!"
Cui Yan smiled, "Brother, don't hide any more means... At this moment, you should use your full force to attack!"
Zhen Zhen frowned and said nothing.
He does have some means.
In the market, especially when caravans are in exchange, there will naturally be some outlaws. On the surface, it is to protect the caravan, but it can also be used as death soldiers when necessary. However, if these people really take action, it will be different from before.
I used words to inspire, just like Yang Biao's mourning text. Even if someone else "understands" it was not considered a concern.
And if someone really attacks, it will definitely leave traces. If Cao Cao does not fall, then Zhen’s family will be uprooted by Cao’s revenge in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, or even in his hometown in Jizhou!
In a sense, the Zhen family is a petty bourgeoisie of the Han Dynasty. They are eager to join the political top, so they must have a certain degree of revolutionary nature and want to overthrow the rulers on their heads and change the environment in which they are exploited by higher-level rulers. But in the same way, their revolutionary nature is not thorough, and they are looking forward to it, and may even change at any time...
Cui Yan also saw Zhen Zhen’s concerns and smiled, “Since my brother is in trouble… I don’t force it, but… my brother must send me through the test… I can only contact the person after crossing the river…”
Although Cui Yan's request is relatively difficult, it is relatively easier for Zhen Zhen to accept it than before when Cui Yan asked Zhen Zhen to sacrifice his position and use all the cards.
So the two of them talked about the specific steps of escape, and Zhen Zhen left first from Cui Yan's hiding place.
Chapter completed!
