Tao Ying picked up the boiled tea in front of him and drank it despite the discomfort. He had no choice but to sober up because his mouth was too dry.

"Tea in this era is really hard to enjoy!"

Tao Ying secretly made up his mind. When he returned to Taishan County, he would fry some tea himself when he had the opportunity. Making tea like a big man would not only hurt his stomach, but also waste materials.

"It's not a big deal. Firstly, I want to ask Chongguang to identify the master's family. Secondly, I want to hear Chongguang's views on the current situation in the Han Dynasty."

After all, he had already accepted Tao Ying as his disciple. When Tao Ying arrived at his door, Kong Rong would invite Tao Ying to his home due to emotions and reasons.

Hearing the purpose of Kong Rong's visit, Tao Ying secretly curled his lips and cursed Kong Rong in his heart.

"Let's admit it next time. Although you, a cheap teacher, were 'picked up', you are still a teacher. It is your first time to come to the door. If you dare to go empty-handed, won't you be kicked out by the teacher's wife?"

Tao Ying, who has been born in two generations, still understands the basic etiquette. No matter what, as a guest, you cannot go empty-handed when you visit someone's house for the first time.

Now that Kong Rong had extended an invitation to him, Tao accepted the invitation without any preparation, so naturally he would not engage in gossip.

"Haha, Chongguang, you don't know that the wine here is like swill compared to the wine at Brother Wenju's house!"

Chen Yi's words were very straightforward, telling Tao Ying that if his "favorite disciple" came to his door, Kong Rong would definitely host a banquet and let Tao Ying prepare his liver.

"With my body, I really can't enjoy the 'Fine Wine of Confucius' right now. I'd better wait until I'm ready next time and then go to Master Kong's house to taste it."

Even if Chen Yi didn't remind him, Tao Ying was aware of these etiquette routines.

Of course, the most fundamental reason why Tao Ying rejected Kong Rong's invitation was that he did not want to stay in Lu County for a long time.

"I'm not just visiting Lu County for fun. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to make decisions in Taishan County."

Tao Ying always reminded himself that he must not follow the example of "Liu Da'er" and live in drunken dreams and die in Soochow for the sake of Sun Shangxiang.

This is not because Tao Ying is wiser than Liu Bei, but because Tao Ying feels that he does not have the capital to imitate Liu Bei.

Seeing that the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou and Qingzhou are about to break out again; Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, and Qiu Liju are about to cause trouble in the four states, Tao Ying is not ready yet.

"A heart as fine as dust!"

Tao Ying responded to Chen Yi's joke and politely declined Kong Rong's invitation, which made Cai Yong, who observed Tao Ying calmly, secretly admire him.

"Excellent Yingwu!"

Being as smart as Kong Rong, of course he understood what Tao Ying meant by "get ready". Although his invitation was indirectly rejected, Kong Rong was not angry at all, but was even more satisfied with Tao Ying.

……

"Nowadays, the big men are rich in wine and meat, and their bones are frozen to death on the road!"

Tao Ying stood up and began to respond to Kong Rong's second intention.

"In the coming year, the bones of the big man will be exposed in the wild, and there will be no roosters crowing for thousands of miles!"

Tao Ying's eyes passed over the faces of the three people one by one, with expressions of helplessness, sadness and resentment.

"Chongguang, why do you say the coming year will be so turbulent?"

When they heard the former, Kong Rong and Chen Yi felt a little embarrassed, but when they heard the latter, their expressions changed.

"Is it a bit alarmist?"

Tao Ying sneered. He also thought this was sensational and nonsense, but it was the truth.

"Xiang Kai, a native of Pingyuan, is good at the art of astronomy and yin and yang, and Chen Xiang is familiar with him. You two were guests at the house of Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou. He said: 'The celestial phenomena are not conducive to the eunuchs. Huangmen, Chang Shi is really going to be exterminated this time.

.'"

"Now that your plan to depose the emperor Liu Hong and your attempt to establish the Marquis of Hefei as emperor failed, and Wang Fen is afraid of committing suicide, do you still believe what Xiangkai once said?"

Tao Ying looked at Chen Yi with sharp eyes and asked him about Xiangkai and Wang Fen.

"Who did you hear that from?"

Hearing this, Chen Yi's face changed drastically. He jumped up from his seat and looked at Tao Ying in horror.

Except for Wang Fen, Xu You, Xiang Kai, Zhou Jing, Cao Cao, who had been refused contact, and Tao Qiuhong, a prominent figure from the plains, and Hua Xin, who had not responded, no one else knew about the conspiracy to depose the emperor.

"What?"

Kong Rong looked horrified and stood up suddenly, staring at Chen Yi, wanting to see if what Tao Ying said was true.

"How did you know?"

After Chen Yi came back to his senses, he looked at Tao Ying with a pair of dull eyes and asked in a faint voice.

"Yi understands!"

Chen Yi felt relieved again. There is no airtight wall in the world. Now that he has done it, Wang Fen also committed suicide. There are many insiders, so it is not surprising that more people know about it.

"Of course Xiangkai's words cannot be trusted. Otherwise, how could a well-planned plan fail in the end?"

As Chen Yi finished speaking, Kong Rong let out a long sigh.

"Bingzhi, you are so confused. This deposing of the emperor is the most ominous thing in the world."

Kong Rong shook his head, he really couldn't believe that a weak scholar like Chen Yi could actually do something like abolishing the establishment.

Tao Ying disagreed with Kong Rong's words.

"There is an ancient saying: 'Those who speak well of Heaven will surely experience it in others.' I very much agree with what Xiang Kai said."

"If Ying Ying is right, in April next year, the emperor star will fall, the eunuchs will be executed, the Han court will be in turmoil, the killings will continue, the palace will be in chaos, the world will be divided by all the heroes, the nine states will continue to fight, and there will be no one left alive!

”

This time, not to mention Kong Rong, Cai Yong was horrified, and even Chen Yi looked in disbelief.

"If this is true, Wang Wenzu's death would have been in vain!"

As long as Wang Fenlai lingers in Jizhou for half a year and Emperor Ling is dead, there will be no need to abolish the throne.

"He is a capable minister in governing the place. What a pity!"

While Chen Yi felt sorry for Wang Fen, he was also glad that he did not follow in his footsteps.

After receiving Wang Fen's suicide note a few days ago, Chen Yi almost imitated Wang Fen and became his companion.

"Do you know why Cao Mengde rejected you?"

Tao Ying sneered, the scholar rebellion failed for three years, the key was Wang Fen, Chen Yi and others were too unreliable and took it for granted.

"Aren't you worried that if you don't succeed, it will affect the three tribes?"

Tao Ying smiled, noncommittal, and looked at Kong Rong again, wanting to hear what Kong Rong thought.

"From ancient times to the present, only Huo Guang and Yi Yin succeeded in trying to depose the emperor, but their fate after their deaths was very bad. Cao Mengde was loyal to the Han Dynasty, so naturally he would not get involved in such an act of deposing an emperor."

Tao Ying nodded. Kong Rong saw it more clearly and profoundly than Chen Yi, but on this matter, Kong Rong didn't see Cao Cao clearly either.

"The reason why your success failed and the Emperor stopped doing this was because Cao Mengde made the first report."

"Cao Mengde saw that Wang Fen and you were obsessed with each other and couldn't stop him. And you want to drag him into the chariot. If he fails and the emperor pursues him, won't it bring harm to himself?"

"Therefore, Cao Mengde whispered to the Taishi official and advised him at the right time: 'If there is a conspiracy, it is not advisable to go north.' As a result, the emperor stopped traveling and returned to Luoyang. He ordered Wang Fen to stop the army, but Wang Fen was frightened and committed suicide."
p>

Chen Yi was so shocked that he took a few steps back with a look of disbelief. If this is true, Wang Fen's death was not unjust. It was because his ability to recognize people was too poor, and Cao Cao's hiding place was too deep.

.

"Brother Meng De, don't blame me for smearing you!"

Anyway, Cao Cao has a fair face, and Tao Ying is not afraid to put some black face on his face. If there is a chance to attack potential opponents, Tao Ying will never be soft.

For Tao Ying, this is also an achievement, which will at least allow Cao Cao to have fewer people around him in the future.

"Xiang Chen, Hua Xin and Hua Ziyu are still smarter than you!"

Tao Ying looked at Chen Yi with sympathy and sigh on his face.

"It's really smart for a lifetime and confused for a moment."

Kong Rong looked at Chen Yi, the Prime Minister of Lu, and slowly shook his head.

"Do you know why Hua Xin and Tao Qiuhong did not participate in the conspiracy?"

Kong Rong also agreed with Tao Ying's evaluation of Chen Yi, and he wanted to know how much Tao Ying knew about Hua Xin.

"Tao Qiuhong had agreed to Wang Fen's invitation and was about to go, but Hua Ziyu stopped him."

"Hua Ziyu advised Tao Qiuhong: 'Wang Fen has a negligent personality and is not good at leading troops in battle. This matter will definitely not succeed, and it will also implicate the family's wife and children. You must not go!'"
p>

"So, Tao Qiuhong listened to Hua Ziyu's advice and saved his life."

Chen Yi returned to his seat in despair, picked up the lukewarm tea cup, and drank it in one gulp.

Perhaps after a cup of herbal tea, Chen Yi finally woke up and smiled to himself, looking lonely.

"Both Master Kong and Prime Minister Chen are rare talents in the world. If there is chaos in the world next year, I hope that the two of them can lend a helping hand to defend Wei Qing and Xu Erzhou, protect the local people, and provide a pure land for the people of Jiuzhou!"

After talking so much in a roundabout way, Tao Ying finally saw it and looked at Kong Rong and Chen Yi with a smile on his face.

As for Cai Yong, he was basically taken care of by Tao Ying when he was in Nancheng.

"Xiang Zhuang dances with the sword, aiming at Pei Gong!"
