Chapter 811 A single flag corrects the imperial edict
Shan Qi nodded and said:
"Li Ran's family members can't touch him now. For now, it's better to do what you said and do something about Chang Hong!"
"Chang Hong is Li Ran's mentor. If something happens to him, it will not only make Li Ran care about the chaos, but also make Zhao Yang passive. It can also take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between the Marquis of Jin and Zhao Yang, and
It can also create internal rifts within them and cause them to be in chaos!"
"You can kill three birds with one stone!"
Liu Di bowed and said:
"What Doctor Shan said is true!"
Liu Di always obeyed Shan Qi's advice, so when he returned home, he immediately called for the chief secretary of the Liu family.
The chief clerk of the Liu family had a single name with the character raccoon, and he was good at handwriting. When Chang Hong was still in the Liu family, the relationship between the two was quite good.
Liu Di said to him:
"Li, you used to be friends with Chang Hong. I wonder if you can imitate Chang Hong's handwriting?"
Liu Li didn't understand what Liu Di meant and couldn't help but reply:
"The handwriting written by my subordinate is somewhat similar to Master Chang. The two of us imitated each other and enjoyed it..."
When Liu Di heard this, he immediately ordered someone to bring him a pen and inkstone.
"Write a few words, I want to take a look!"
Sikong Li immediately followed Chang Hong's handwriting and wrote just a few words.
When Liu Di saw it, he couldn't help but nodded and said:
"There is indeed a slight resemblance. Even Chang Hong himself would not be able to tell the difference! Okay, it's really great!"
Liu Li scratched his head, but his expression was inexplicable:
"Master, these are just trivial dramas for Confucians like us, why should we care about them?..."
At this time, Liu Di slowly took out a roll of brocade silk from his sleeve and said:
"Come on, write me a document in this handwriting right now! You must be careful when dealing with it, this is an edict from the emperor!"
Sikong Li looked at it and couldn't help but hesitated:
"This... this is the emperor's edict. It was written by a villain... I'm afraid there is something wrong?"
Liu Di waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Haha, if I ask you to do it, just do it. What's wrong with that?"
Liu Li's eyebrows couldn't help but jump.
"The head of the family... is so important, why not just let Dr. Chang write it himself?"
Liu Di said calmly:
"Chang Hong is very old now, so why let him do the work himself? Don't worry, he himself is aware of this matter. Since I asked you to write it, what worries do you have?"
Liu Li was stunned on the spot and hesitated for a while, but finally bowed and said:
"In that case... I would like to ask the head of the family to explain clearly how to write this edict?"
So Liu Di dictated it, and Liu Li copied Chang Hong's handwriting and wrote a document to be submitted directly to the Marquis of Jin.
In the edict, from the perspective of Emperor Zhou, he stated his position on the Zhongxing family, Fan family and Zhao family. He believed that the three families, as ministers and officials of the Jin Kingdom, were so independent of official status.
It can be said that the crime was extremely heinous. Especially the Zhao family, who was originally the culprit, but survived under the protection of the Marquis of Jin, instead seemed to be the victim. I cannot praise the Marquis of Jin for this conclusion!
After Liu Li finished writing, Liu Di picked it up and looked at it for a while, then smiled and said:
"Well written! Please step aside first!"
Liu Li vaguely felt that something was wrong, but facing the head of the family, he had no choice but to retreat temporarily.
Liu Di took this document and went to Shan Mansion. After reading it, Shan Qi nodded with satisfaction.
Moreover, he ordered someone to bring out the Emperor's Seal directly from his study. He picked up the Emperor's Seal, without saying a word, directly put the payment on the document, and said very proudly:
"Oh, this writing is as if it was written by Chang Hong himself! Liu Di, please send someone to send this document to the State of Jin! Mr. Xun will know what to do when he sees this edict..."
Liu Di took care of the matter immediately, while Shan Qi sneered darkly...
…
But he said that the document was written at high speed, and within a few days, it was delivered to the hands of the Marquis of Jin.
When the Marquis of Jin took it and took a look, he couldn't help but be startled. He handed the document to Xun Shu next to him in public for viewing.
"Xunqing, what do you think?"
Xun Shu glanced at it, thought for a moment, and replied:
"Back to your Majesty, Chang Hong is a man of high moral character and high prestige. He has a reputation as a virtuous person and is famous throughout the world. Now that he is drafting an imperial edict for the emperor, you can see the hearts of the scholars in the world!"
Jinhou Wu sighed and said:
"This man is one of the best scholars in the world, and this document is an edict from the Emperor of Zhou. It will be spread to the world sooner or later. But... they are far away in Luoyi, how can they know about the affairs of the Jin Kingdom?
The causes and consequences are still unclear, so how can we make such a judgment?"
"In the past few days, the Han family and the Wei family have been urging me to send troops to help Jinyang as soon as possible to relieve the Zhao family's danger. I am still hesitant about this. However, I want to
As the king of the Jin State, I cannot break my promise. It is an established thing to assist the Zhao family, so how can I change my mind because of this?"
"If this is the case, wouldn't my status as the master of the world in the Jin Kingdom be in vain?"
Xun Shu cupped his hands and said:
"I do agree with your Majesty, but at the same time, I also feel that Zhao's edict on this matter and the Emperor's edict are indeed reasonable..."
Jin Houwu said helplessly:
"Even though the Zhao family is guilty, they have not acted arrogantly. The actions of the Fan family and the Zhonghang family have shaken the foundation of our Jin country! Moreover, if it is true as Xun Qing said, expelling the three families together will only
I’m afraid that our Jin country’s strength will also be greatly damaged!”
"So, I think we still need to prioritize things now!"
Xun Shu said:
"What your Majesty said is true! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I, the Xun family, the Han family, and the Wei family will all advance and retreat together with the monarch! As for whether to send troops to help Jinyang now, this matter may still need to be discussed with the ministers!
"
Jinhou Wu nodded and said:
"That's very good, very good! Then it's all thanks to Qing Xun!"
After Xun Shu settled in Jin Houwu, he changed hands and ordered another document to be delivered to a confidant, and told him to find a way to send it to Jinyang.
In fact, the General Yin of the Bank of China is currently surrounding Jinyang. It seems that it will not be easy to deliver this document to Jinyang.
But on the other hand, because both sides knew that Xun Shu had not yet taken sides with either side.
On the surface, although Jin Houwu has determined the matter, he has not taken any serious action after all.
In addition, this letter from Emperor Zhou was originally intended to accuse the Zhao family. Therefore, even if Zhong Xingyin really knew about it, he would at most turn a blind eye.
Sure enough, the people sent by Xun Shu were not blocked in any way and were transferred directly to Zhao Yang's hands.
When Zhao Yang saw it, he couldn't help but became furious.
Now the news from Jiangcheng is that everything is going according to Li Ran's ideas, and the Marquis of Jin has also made up his mind to favor the Zhao family. But now, Emperor Zhou actually asked Chang Hong to suddenly write an imperial edict and accuse the world.
It was Zhao's fault that made Zhao Yang extremely unhappy.
Zhao Yang also knew about the relationship between Chang Hong and Li Ran. He did not dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly took the document and found Li Ran.
Li Ran saw him walking in a hurry, with a displeased look on his face, and he couldn't help but frown.
Zhao Yang put the documents on the desk and tried to calm himself down.
"Sir, is this document written by Lord Chang Hongchang?"
Li Ran held the document in his hand, looked at it for a while, and sighed:
"Look at this handwriting, although it was copied by someone else, but looking at it like this, it does seem... that it was written by my master!"
