Cai Yong lowered his face and made it clear that public service is public and private service is private. I naturally respect you because you are so talented. If you instigate rebellion against the government and generals, I won't be polite.
Xu Yuanzhi also said: "It is indeed inappropriate!"
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Zhou Yuanfu said this to Xu Yuanzhi.
"The two armies are fighting. If you write such a letter to strengthen others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige, I think it is useless for you to write this letter. Guan Yu will laugh at you instead. It is better to write a letter of war."
Zhou Yuanfu pretended to be confused and said: "The letter has been written. How can I change it better?"
"Just change these. Change 'style' to 'expression', 'admiration' to 'angry', 'meet' to 'competition', 'show mercy' and add 'don't' in front of 'fellow countryman'"
"Friendship" should be changed to "affection for discussion", and that'll be fine."
After saying this, Xu Yuanzhi himself felt embarrassed.
Zhou Yuanfu laughed heartily.
"Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi, if you write it like this, Guan Yu will definitely fight with me to death on the battlefield in the future. That's fine, I'll just do what you say. Can you write? Come on, you can correct it here."
Xu Yuanzhi didn't know what it meant, but he also wanted to show his hands in front of the girl. So he scribbled on the paper, and the words he wrote were full of vigor and charm, which naturally gave him a different charm.
Cai Wenji frowned and said, "I'm also good at writing. You guys are scribbling and correcting it like this, and those who read the letter are probably confused. How about I copy it again?"
Zhou Yuanfu waved his hand and said: "No, no, that's fine. They are all rough guys fighting in the military camp, so you don't have to worry so much."
He folded the letter and handed it to Cai Yong. He also said: "Because the two armies are at war, it is best to give this letter to General Guan alone, so as not to be seen by anyone who is interested and cause trouble to General Guan."
Everyone was puzzled, and Cai Yong also looked suspicious. He just felt that there was no solicitation in the letter, so he was no longer troubled.
After Zhou Yuanfu left, Cai Wenji looked at their departing figures.
"Brother Zhou is really strange. I wonder how many wonderful poems there are in "The Collected Poems of Su Shi"? I really want to take a look."
…
Weiyang Palace, Qingliang Palace.
Zhang Rang, the official of the General Chamber of Commerce, lost his former majesty and knelt on the ground shivering. The maids and eunuchs next to him were so frightened that they did not dare to speak out. Emperor Liu Hongyu of the Han Dynasty was still angry and threw a bamboo slip on him, and the bamboo slips suddenly
It was bounced up, fell to the ground and scattered.
"Your Majesty, calm down. This old slave deserves to die. Your Majesty, please don't get so angry that this old slave can't bear it." Zhang Rang leaned over and kowtowed one after another.
"Tell me, tell me clearly today how you colluded with the Yellow Turban bandits and how you secretly communicated with Zhang Jiao. If you make any lies, you will be killed immediately!"
Liu Hong changed from his usual calm demeanor and started roaring like a giant dragon that had been touched by his scales, like a madman.
"I don't dare to have an affair with Zhang Jiao. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Zhang Rang was sure of one thing. The only basis for this matter was a letter reported by Wang Yun, the governor of Yuzhou. There was no other evidence. As long as he gritted his teeth and got through this, he could slowly deal with this mad dog Wang Yun!
"You still dare to be so stubborn. Here is the letter, how dare you deny it?!"
Liu Hong was angry and smashed a bamboo slip on Zhang Rang again. Zhang Rang was in pain and turned away from the hit, revealing his bloody forehead. Liu Hong couldn't help but lose some of his anger.
Another regular servant, Zhao Zhong, saw the opportunity and waved his hands to the palace maids and eunuchs. They all dispersed and left as if they were experiencing an amnesty.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and allow me to be fair. If what I said is wrong, I would rather be punished together with Eunuch Zhang." Zhao Zhong knelt down and kowtowed.
Zhao Zhong also risked his life. He and Zhang Rang were like brothers, both prospered and suffered losses.
Zhang Rang looked at Zhao Zhong gratefully and almost shed tears. At the critical moment, these brothers who share the same destiny are still reliable.
"Your Majesty, this group of scholars has always regarded us as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. Ever since Your Majesty banned the party, this group of people has become more and more lawless. We, a group of people who have no descendants, only know how to be loyal to Your Majesty and do not want to please these people.
Minister, they are all just trying to get rid of us, your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Zhao Zhong burst into tears as he spoke, leaving crocodile tears.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slaves only know how to serve Your Majesty and don't want to make friends with these ministers, so they hate us for this."
Zhang Rang then complained about his grievances, and tears flowed down his face.
"Then what does this letter say? It's your retainer who is friends with the Yellow Turban bandits. This can't be wrong, right?"
Liu Hong's anger was mostly gone, but he had to keep asking until the matter was clarified.
Zhang Rang had already thought of his words in his mind. His performance just now was just to gain Liu Hong's sympathy. He had already dealt with the retainers and now he was dead without any evidence.
"Your Majesty, it is clear that this letter was completely forged by someone with good intentions. They secretly imitated the handwriting of my retainer, and then forged the letter to sue me and others. After the retainer heard about this, in order to prove his innocence, he hit the pillar and died.
, very strong. Your Majesty clearly knows that this old slave has been wronged!"
When Liu Hong heard this, he was slightly moved. As soon as the ban on the party was lifted, the party members became active again. If this trend is encouraged, there will be a lot of talk in the court in the future. Now I am more comfortable and can do whatever I want. There is no such thing.
The eunuchs with eggs will only follow themselves every day. Besides, these eunuchs without eggs will never rebel. Even if they rebel, they will not be emperors. However, this group of scholars cannot be sure.
Forget it, even if this is true, I don't believe that Zhang Rang will betray him. There is no reason at all. If he doesn't rely on himself, he will be slaughtered in a minute. Scholars all over the world are sharpening their knives and staring at them.
Thinking of this, the anger in Liu Hong's heart slowly extinguished.
"Oh, is it possible that Wang Yun will frame you and others?"
Liu Hong asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Rangshan was able to observe people's words and emotions, and when he saw the clouds clearing and fog disappearing, his life was saved.
"This Wang Yun has always been domineering and arrogant. When he was a county official in Taiyuan, he ignored the king's orders and killed Zhao Jin of Xiaohuangmen in vain."
"Is there still this matter? Wasn't this Zhao Jin killed by the prefect?"
Liu Hong asked doubtfully.
This incident happened nineteen years ago, when Liu Hong was still a baby, so I don’t know much about it.
Zhang Rang saw that Liu Hong's expression had completely softened, so he and Zhao Zhong both got up and walked to Liu Hong's side.
"The late emperor was deceived at that time! The Wang family was quite famous in Taiyuan, and the prefect was actually Wang Yun's scapegoat!"
Liu Hong frowned tightly when he heard this.
"Yes, what Eunuch Zhang said is true. Since Wang Yun was recommended by Situ Yuan Wei, he has become even more arrogant and tried every means to find fault with us. It is obviously to deal with us eunuchs, but in fact he is contemptuous of your authority.
Maybe it’s someone with a good intention who ordered it.”
Zhao Zhong was also there to fan the flames.
Liu Hong frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Who do you think ordered it?"
