Chapter 99 The Shogun behind the scenes

Wang Shizhong, who is not yet Wang Situ, firmly stands in the camp of the Grand Master.

I was very happy to see my grand and impressive son-in-law coming to my door.

An adopted daughter managed to join the circle of top bosses without sacrificing her life. At the same time, she also got half a son of the most powerful prince and an upstart in the court for nothing.

What a bargain.

But what he didn't expect was that the yellow-haired girl back then was now one of the most beautiful and gorgeous women in history.

"Xian son-in-law, please get up quickly! Chan'er, please get up too!"

According to the rules, Diao Chan has to go to the backyard to pay homage to her adoptive mother and meet with the royal family members.

The eldest uncle, Wang Gai, the second uncle, Wang Jing, and the third uncle, Wang Ding, were all shocked by their stepsister's appearance.

The three people's eyes followed Diao Chan until their father coughed.

After the pleasantries, let’s get down to business.

Wang Yun met Lu Zhi and had a general understanding of the causes and consequences of this selection of emperor, including how his son-in-law saved him and put down the rebellion.

There are some things that are not convenient to discuss with the Grand Master, but Wang Shizhong does not have too many scruples about his son-in-law.

"A virtuous son-in-law will guard his side, have strong soldiers and horses, and sit in charge of the court. He will definitely be a mainstay in the future!"

"Taishan is a prize! My son-in-law has just entered the capital and is very nervous. It will be good if he can handle the court's errands well. I really don't think much about the rest."

Wang Yun smiled and said: "Xuande's name is well-known not only in the world, but at least in the East. By the way, when I met with the grand master before, it was your suggestion to evaluate the emperor. What's the secret?"

Before Liu Bei decided to go into the troubled waters of Dongdu, he had already made a rough plan, but he needed a knife.

Among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, the only person who could be considered a ruthless character was the cheap father-in-law in front of me.

Therefore, when I came here today, my wise son-in-law decided to go through the details first.

If the king is not secretive, his ministers will lose; if the minister is not secretive, he will lose his virginity; if several things are not secretive, it will cause harm!

Therefore, Liu Bei picked up the tea cup and took a sip with a smile.

Wang Yun was an old man, so he immediately said: "The eldest brother went to the backyard to arrange meals, and the second brother and the third brother went to buy some wine and fruits."

The three sons left immediately.

Liu Bei asked bluntly: "Taishan was unjustly imprisoned five years ago. What do you think now?"

That was Wang Yun’s unforgettable pain.

He was conscientious, loyal and patriotic, and worked tirelessly to expose Zhao Zhong's conspiracy. However, he was framed and imprisoned and almost died.

The emperor whom he regards as a god has never said a word or even looked at him. How can he not make people feel chilling?

Although the emperor is dead, the evil, greedy and cruel eunuch is still there, and he has been waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

"Pa!"

Wang Shizhong slapped his palm on the case: "We and I are inseparable!"

"The eunuchs indeed deserve to die, but has Taishan ever thought about why those eunuchs are so unscrupulous?"

Wang Yun, who had experienced blood and tears, certainly understood who was supporting the eunuchs.

And through Lu Zhi, I learned that the son-in-law managed to induce a strange scene in which he evaluated the emperor.

Wang Yun knew these principles like the divine right of kings, the family and the world, the great unification, the connection between heaven and man, the relationship between the emperor, hundreds of officials, and all the people.

You know, you know, but it’s not that you don’t dare to point the finger at the emperor, but that you can’t accept it emotionally.

Treating the king like one's father is the ethical foundation of Confucianism.

Liu Bei smiled faintly and continued: "The rebellion of the moth thieves has damaged the strength of the Han Dynasty. If we let corrupt officials oppress the people again, the situation may be ten times worse next time. By then, there will be no unbroken eggs left in the nest."

"If you want long-term stability and peace in the world, you must first stabilize the people. If you want to stabilize the people, you must first govern the officials. If you want to govern the officials, you must regulate the emperor with virtue."

"If the emperor is virtuous and traitors stay away from the court, loyal ministers will not be bullied. The country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

Wang Yun frowned and asked, "What if the emperor has no virtue?"

"Isn't there another one?"

Seeing that his son-in-law was disapproving, Wang Yun felt a chill running down his spine.

"You want to be Yiho?!"

Liu Bei smiled in relief when he heard his father-in-law asking in a lowered voice.

"If Taishan has the authority of Yihuo, how should he act?"

"I..."

Wang Yun was stuck for a moment, thinking silently.

What would you do if you had power over the government, the emperor was ignorant and immoral, and his cronies were treacherous and sycophantic, making the people miserable??

Admonish the emperor with sincerity?

The deceased Ling Emperor has proved that it is a dead end.

Just watch silently like others?

That is not in line with my long-standing ideals and beliefs.

Could it be that... Wang Yun glanced at his son-in-law and felt a little headache.

But he has no better solution.

Suddenly, Liu Bei said leisurely: "Has Mount Tai heard about Yizhou Mu's memorial?"

The situation in Yizhou is very complex, with the five most important forces intertwined and fighting constantly.

Cao Cao's Cai Mao faction, Liu Yan's old tribe, Zhang Lu's faction, the Barbarian Alliance faction, plus the airborne Liu Biao celebrity faction.

In view of the weak foundation of the airborne system, Liu Biao began to promote and appoint relatives and friends of his nephews and nephews. However, Yizhou's territory was too large and the manpower shortage was severe.

Therefore, Liu Biao believed that the governor of the governor was like a separatist government. If something happened, the prefectural governor Chengdu would be the first to set fire to it.

Therefore, a memorial was issued to "Change into the State", proposing to strengthen the authority of the state pastoralists and possess the absolute power of a state.

Only in this way can the place be firmly controlled in the court, and the world can be stable and peaceful.

This is very reasonable, and the court officials approve of it.

But the governor and the county guards were very unhappy with Liu Biao.

Wang Yun was from the imperial court, so he didn't have much feeling for Liu Biao's actions.

"Xianxiu thinks Jing Sheng's move is inappropriate?"

"When Mount Tai changes places, you will understand its meaning."

Wang Yun thought about it carefully, once he "instruments into the state", the state pastor who holds military power, financial power and personnel power will be no different from the Tu emperor.

If the court is weak, all heroes will inevitably rise together, and once a separatist regime is formed, it will be difficult to weaken it.

Human nature determines that no one will willingly give up his or her rights.

"So, the virtuous son-in-law wants to object?"

Liu Bei laughed and said: "When they all jump out, wouldn't it be easier to sweep them all away?"

After staring at Liu Bei for a long time, Wang Yun asked in a tone that only the two of them could hear: "Do you want a good son-in-law to be Yihuo, or..."

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "My son-in-law has read books from sages and received salary from the court. He has no ulterior motives or other thoughts. After all, he is too unfree."

Wang Yun whispered again: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, I won't be able to find a good son-in-law, right?"

Liu Bei smiled and said playfully: "There is a mentor and there is Mount Tai, so it is not my son-in-law's turn, right?"

"You...you!"

Wang Yun was angry and funny. He stroked his beard and said, "What do you mean by my good son-in-law, the grand master and I come forward, but you are behind the scenes?"

Liu Bei nodded and said smoothly: "Shogun, what do you think?"

Wang Yun ignored this nonsense and thought about it seriously.

The son-in-law is very stable and wise. If he is not an emperor or a powerful minister like Yiho, he can at least avoid being denounced by the government and the public.

In fact, Lu Zhi and himself control the civil service group, and Liu Bei controls the military, so the overall situation can be determined.

Then kill the ambitious princes, eradicate the eunuchs, and weaken the imperial power. This can ensure that the government is clean and harmonious, the people are prosperous, and the country is safe.

This coincides with my lifelong philosophy.

"Should we move the Yuan family?"

Liu Bei smiled slightly: "To support Yuan Benchu, just transfer him to Jingzhou. Keep Yuan Ji, some people in the province are hiding in the dark and it is difficult to find."

Wang Yun was very transparent and admired his son-in-law's methods.

Yuan Shao has broken with the Yuan family and is now easy to win over. It is amazing to use him to deal with Yuan Shu, a prodigal.

Without Yuan Shu's support, Yuan Ji's influence would be much smaller, and he would not be a match for the Taishi system at all.

Those officials who are not in the same relationship with the Grand Master will inevitably choose the Yuan family to join forces. In this way, the enemy and ourselves are clearly defined, and it is much easier to deal with them.

The virtuous son-in-law is definitely a monster!

Fortunately, the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law is half father and half son. Maybe it won’t be long before I can meet him again.

"Xian son-in-law, what are we going to do with those damn eunuchs?"

"My mentor and Taishan taught the emperor benevolence, and the eunuchs will be left to my son-in-law, and there will be no mistakes!"

OK!

Since the son-in-law has a guaranteed ticket, Zhao Zhong, this old dog, will definitely not end well.

However, now that the Taifu clan has joined forces with Yizhou, Emperor Yonghan's votes are gradually catching up with Emperor Guangxi's, and looking at the momentum, it may tie or even exceed it.

"The emperor will be selected soon, can we ensure that Emperor Guangxi will win?"

Liu Bei did not give a clear answer, but said mysteriously: "Don't worry about Mount Tai, we will wait and see."

Is this kid planning to cause trouble again?
