Chapter 20 Waiting to Die

Gongsun Xun returned home drunk, and sat down on a chair at the top of the inner hall with his wife and several maids serving him. He almost sat down on the fat cat that was getting fatter and fatter.

.

However, after wiping his face, he immediately regained his composure and immediately kicked out his wife and a group of maids, and then summoned Lu Fan and Han Dang.

"Zi Heng, does Luo Mu have anything to say about Cao Jie?" Gongsun Xun asked Lu Fan directly.

"According to what he said, Cao Jie was always frightened after being deprived of his military power by the emperor so mercilessly, so he kept hiding behind closed doors to protect himself... At the beginning, I just thought

He was trying to protect Cao Jie, but according to the information we got back from personal investigation, it seems to be true that Cao Jie has been just sitting at home, as if he was imprisoned."

Gongsun Xun raised his head in thought, but immediately put it aside: "The arrow is on the string and I have to shoot it. I can't care so much. Has the evidence of Yang Biao's promise not been sent yet?"

"I think it was Yuan Feng who suffered a stroke, and then the Yang family restrained..." Lu Fan couldn't help but frowned and replied. "However, the Prince's Master at Yushitai sent a lot of evidence."

Gongsun Xun also immediately frowned.

"Aren't they all the same?" Han Dang didn't know why. "They are all evidence..."

"Yi Gong, that's not the case." Lu Fan explained softly for Han Dang. "The evidence is the same, but who sent it is different. Wang Yun's evidence is not only evidence, but also the attitude of the Yushitai

, and Yang Biao's evidence is not only evidence, but also Hongnong Yang's attitude...it has different weight with the emperor!"

Han Dang didn't know why, and Lu Fan could only speak up to this point. From now on, he could only rely on his personal insights and understanding.

"Tomorrow I will go to Yang's house to urge you." Gongsun Xun shook his head and said, "It would be best if Yang Biao and Wang Yun present the evidence together!"

"Wen Qi said that, could it be..." Lu Fan couldn't help but verify his thoughts.

"Yang Qiu is the captain of the Sili school, Qiao Gong is the minister in charge of the Situ, Master Lu is the minister of the official department, Cao, Liu Tao and Liu Gong are the ministers of the Zhongdu official, and I work for the Zhongdu official." Gongsun Xun smelled of alcohol.

Listed them one by one. "In addition, the emperor is powerful and has an obvious intention to clean up the court... It is time to take action!"

Lu Fan and Han Dang were both awe-inspiring.

"Yi Gong," Gongsun Xunfu turned to look at Han Dang again. "I have been in Luozhong for half a year. I wonder what the Yi followers think? Do you want to return home?"

"Shaojun is joking." Han Dang shook his head repeatedly. "Although these people are all descendants of the Yanmen rich family, the rich family does not mean that they are rich. They were willing to come to Luoyang with Shaojun in the past. They were either helpless at home or felt that they would stay in the countryside.

If you can't find a future, you can come to Luozhong to gain experience, or you can follow Shaojun to find a family background. How can you get bored after half a year? Besides, Shaojun is extremely kind to them..."

"Can we still kill people?" Gongsun Xun interrupted the other party, speaking directly.

"Young Master is joking again." Han Dang was extremely speechless. "Children from the Border County are from the military. What use are they if they can't kill people?!"

"Then let them wait and prepare to kill." Gongsun Xun took a long breath of alcohol and said casually.

A night of silence.

On the second day, after Gongsun Xun had spent half a day at the Chancellor's Desk and saw the edict appointing Qiao Xuan as Situ to take charge of the Secretariat's affairs, he passed by the Chancellor's Desk.

Li Xiaowei made a promise to him and left the Chancellery directly... However, after leaving Nangong, he was not in a hurry to find Yang Qiu, but instead went to Yang Ci's mansion.

But when they arrived there, Yang Ci, who had just resigned as Situ and then paralyzed his own family, actually met Gongsun Xun in person... To be honest, this made the latter a little shocked.

After all, not only is the identity gap between the two parties too large, but more importantly, the two parties are not close friends.

Of course, if you think about it on the other hand, since you don't have a close friendship with the other party and you still have to meet him in person, it probably means that this meeting is about important matters.

"Wen Qi." Yang Ci's face was serious. He no longer had the kindness he had when he saw the junior before, and his tone was extremely serious. I heard that this Mr. Yang was gentle and solemn. It seems that Gongsun Xun is now

He is also a character worthy of his seriousness. "I already know the purpose of your coming, but I just want to ask you... this matter is of great importance, are you really sure?"

"What did Yang Gong say?" Gongsun Xun, who had been prepared for a long time, slapped his neck and immediately became angry. "It is the duty of a scholar to kill eunuchs. Did he not do it just because he was not sure? Hong Hong

The third generation of the Nong Yang family, the three princes, Yuan Feng, since Mr. Yuan is not destined by fate, then Mr. Yang, you are the leader of the public clan and a model scholar! But now, we juniors are willing to charge forward at the risk of our lives, why is Mr. Yang hesitant?

If you are so timid and timid, wouldn't it make the world laugh at you if you spread the news?"

"Well……"

To be honest, Yang Ci was a little confused for a moment, because he had always been the one to criticize others in a condescending manner, and it was really unimaginable that he would be criticized by others one day... Moreover, these words sounded familiar to him, as they seemed to be what he often said.

Of course, after all, Yang Boxian was an imperial master of the first dynasty and came from three generations of three nobles, so he quickly came to his senses and laughed loudly:

"Wen Qi doesn't need to be angry. I just said something to test him. I have already made plans to punish him!"

"So that's it." Gongsun Xun also had a look of surprise on his face, and he bowed down. "It's the boy Meng Lang."

"It's okay." Yang Ci laughed dryly again, and then immediately regained his serious expression. "To be honest with Wen Qi, my son Wen Xian had only been in charge of Zhaoyin in Jing Zhao for a few days when he discovered that Wang Fu and his gang members were misbehaving in Xijing.

It has reached the point of outrage and resentment... Do you know how much money he made in Xijing by handling the case of Empress Song?"

How could Gongsun Xun know? But it must be no less.

You must know that the incident involving Empress Song is not just as simple as the empress being deposed and the entire Song family being executed. Behind this is the downfall of a bunch of non-Liu family dignitaries who were continuously supported by several emperors before the emperor succeeded to the throne.

...This bunch of powerful people are mainly distributed in the core areas of Chang'an, Luoyang, and Nanyang. Which one does not last for several generations and is intertwined? In fact, if Cao Cao's grandfather, Da Changqiu Cao Teng, was not too powerful at that time, the Cao family might not be able to squeeze out

Gotta get in.

For such a group of people, it is not wrong to say that they are part of the Liu family's authority to maintain the capital and Guanzhong's ruling authority. Sometimes Gongsun Xun even vaguely guessed that after Dong Zhuo's death, a group of Xiliang soldiers could so defy the authority of the Han Dynasty.

This huge amount of power directly under the emperor was wiped out.

Of course, this is the so-called hindsight from the high ground of one thousand eight hundred years of history. At this moment, not to mention the demise of the Han Dynasty, the typical cool official Yang Qiu even clapped his hands and applauded,

It is said that the emperor's vigorous and resolute actions are quite inspiring, so he should sweep them away like this...

How should I put it? If he really keeps this kind of execution power unwavering for thirty years, the emperor will be the leader of ZTE... But, this is just something to think about.

"Please give me some advice, Mr. Yang." No matter what, Gongsun Xun knew that the show was about to begin, so he immediately bowed and saluted.

"Seventy million yuan!" Yang Ci couldn't help but sneered. "It only took a few days to make a fortune of 70 million yuan!"

Even though Gongsun Xun had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be startled, and then immediately responded with a solemn expression: "He deserves to be killed!"

"That's exactly what you said!" Yang Ci's face became more and more serious. "My son has prepared the evidence and it is at my house. You can just take it with you when you leave... But Wen Qi, there is something that I must discuss with you.

Please ask clearly, when are you going to start?"

"This matter needs to be discussed with the Commander-in-Chief of Sili." Gongsun Xun said calmly. "I'm sorry to say this bluntly, but I thought that although we were fully prepared, the empress... the whole family of the Song family would not be executed for a day.

We will not be able to start for a day."

"I feel relieved that Wen Qi has this insight." Yang Ci couldn't help but sigh. "Actually, His Majesty acted too carefully and too fiercely on the Song family case. As a teacher, I am also very helpless. Although there are some

Admonishment, but of no use at all..."

"Young Master Yang, there is no need to blame yourself," Gongsun Xun hurriedly advised. "The emperor has gone his own way, and the matter has become a foregone conclusion, so there is no need to act like a child. On the contrary, if we can use this matter to kill Wang Fu, I would like to come to the relatives and friends of the Song family."

The grievances with the DPRK can also be relieved."

Yang Ci couldn't help but nod.

In fact, what the two people said is still a bit vague. The Song family can only be launched after killing all the members of the family. It can only be launched after the death of Empress Song!

It's just that there's no way to say this clearly.

You must know that as long as Empress Song dies, the emperor and the new nobles in the palace will not be relieved, and they will continue to keep Wang Fu to do the dirty work. But once Empress Song dies, the emperor and all the new nobles will instead

I can't wait to get rid of this guy... After all, everyone knows that the story of Queen Song's witchcraft is pure nonsense. The emperor and the new rich just want to abolish the queen and clean up the old powerful people left by the previous dynasty.

It's just clean. They know the queen's innocence better than anyone else.

And in this day and age, the innocent and tragic death of a queen whose mother was devoted to the world is undoubtedly a huge psychological burden for all the instigators in the palace... Maybe such a cruel emperor will be awakened by a nightmare one night!

Of course, both Yang Ci and Gongsun Xun actually knew about Empress Song's innocence, but this is politics... In a huge political whirlpool, a woman's innocence is meaningless. On the contrary, when things have become

When the outcome is finalized, any politician or politicians with a little bit of rationality should know how to use the influence of this political event to achieve their own goals.

And this is exactly what they are doing.

The two looked at each other in silence, so there was no need to continue talking. After a while, Gongsun Xun formally said goodbye to Yang Ci. Outside the door, boxes of evidence had already been packed into the carriage, and Gongsun followed him directly.

Xun went to Sili Xiaowei's office.

However, what is interesting is that when Gongsun Xun was about to drive to see Yang Qiu, a person came into the room where he and Yang Ci had been talking before.

"Father," this man gave Yang Ci a big gift...it was actually Yang Biao who was supposed to be in Jing Zhaoyin's post. "My son still doesn't understand."

"What don't you understand?" Yang Ci suddenly turned around and asked. "Isn't it natural for scholars of our generation to punish officials? And weren't you the one who agreed to search for evidence in the Western Capital that day?"

"That's not what my son meant." Yang Biao tried his best to answer while lying on the ground. "My son is worried about other aspects..."

"There are only you and me, father and son, just say so," Yang Ci looked out the door expressionlessly. "Don't you think I paralyzed your father-in-law? You should restrain yourself at this time and save yourself."

Are you being talked about behind your back?"

"Shouldn't it be like this?" Yang Biao asked seriously.

"That boy Gongsun was jumping up and down in front of me just now. He was extremely rude, but there was something he said that was very good." Yang Ci stood up proudly and said. "Yuan Fengtian is true to his destiny, then I, the Yang family, will naturally lead the world's scholars!

In my opinion, this eunuch has a great chance. In this case, how can we ignore such a good opportunity just because of a little fame? If it comes to pass, maybe you can replace Yuan Shao and become that person.

Where is the party leader! Besides, Yuan Feng himself wrote to his family that it was the emperor who killed him, not me! If he is paralyzed, what does it have to do with me?"

Yang Biao started to speak but stopped.

"What else do you want to ask?" Yang Ci glanced sideways at his eldest son, the future leader of the Yang family.

"My son would like to ask... is my father-in-law really paralyzed?" Yang Biao couldn't help lowering his voice.

"I'm paralyzed!" Yang Ci really couldn't hold it back, and the corners of his mouth turned upward. Fortunately, his son couldn't see it. "He's really paralyzed, and it's getting more and more difficult to write with his left hand... If nothing happens, so is he.

Time is running out. When the time comes, you will just step down from your post as Jingzhao Yin and observe filial piety for him for a few months to show your respect. Now, go back to Jingzhao as soon as possible to avoid being criticized for leaving your post without permission.

"

Yang Biao was speechless for a moment and had no choice but to lean over again: "Here!"

And in the Yuan Mansion, which was only a few miles away from the Yang Mansion, another conversation between father and son, with Gongsun Xun also slightly involved, was also going on.

Of course, the conversation here is a bit more difficult.

By the way, in the bedroom, I saw Yuan Feng and Yuan Taipu, who had once dominated the court, lying on the bed with a pale face. From time to time, drool would slip from the corner of his mouth uncontrollably, while his three sons stood in a row.

On the side of the bed, everyone had expressionless faces, except for Yuan Ji who came forward to wipe them from time to time.

But what's interesting is that there is no maid or domestic servant in the huge bedroom.

"The reason why I called you here today is not for anything else, but because your father's left hand is getting more and more difficult," Yuan Wei said with a sigh. "So after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to explain some things as much as possible... Yesterday, he drew

Several sandboxes, I will keep silently by the side... This matter is very important, so you'd better be more serious."

The three Yuan brothers finally couldn't help but look at each other several times, and then Yuan Ji stepped forward and saluted his uncle: "Uncle, please give me advice on behalf of my father."

"Your father said yesterday... Looking at what the Emperor does, without knowing the importance or the yin and yang, the world may be in chaos... If there is no chaos, it goes without saying. If there is chaos, I, the Yuan family, may not be able to... may not be able to..."

"Isn't it possible that it can't be replaced?" Yuan Shao, whose head was wrapped in a mourning cloth, couldn't help interrupting the other party and asked.

"Yes, yes!" Yuan Wei immediately sweated profusely.

Hearing this, Yuan Ji was a little at a loss, but Yuan Shu couldn't help but take a step forward: "Didn't you say that the emperor named Zhong did it maliciously?"

"It was indeed done with malicious intent." Yuan Wei quickly explained. "It should have been Gongsun Xun, Yang Qiu, Wang Yun and the others who came to punish the eunuch...but..."

"But it doesn't necessarily have its merits, right?" Yuan Shu couldn't help but twist his short beard and asked. "Those who succeeded the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao. Although it is artificial, it may not be unreasonable."

"As a son of a man, is this the time to think about such a thing?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but get furious. "Now that I know it was these people who did it, they are the accomplices who helped the emperor to harm our father... The emperor can't reach Yang Qiu.

Sili Xiaowei needs to take a long-term approach, but what about Gongsun Xun?"

Yuan Shu and Yuan Ji immediately changed their appearance.

However, just when the three brothers were preparing to do something, unexpectedly, there was a sound of sniffing from the bed behind them. Following Yuan Wei, the four of them turned around, only to see Yuan Feng opening his mouth to speak, scribbling with his left hand, and more words in his mouth.

He kept drooling, so he quickly went over to clean it up.

After being stunned for a moment, Yuan Wei suddenly reacted: "Your father's intention is to ask you not to touch these people for the time being... He gave an explanation yesterday."

"Don't move... Is my father worried about the unrest in Luozhong? Will there be backlash if he takes action in a hurry?" Yuan Ji couldn't help but ask.

Without Yuan Wei's reply, Yuan Feng, who was helped up, immediately blinked his eyelids twice.

"That's it." Yuan Shao quickly assured his father. "Then we will take action after the incident..."

Yuan Feng said nothing, but stared at his brother Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei was stared at for a long time before he suddenly realized, and then said quickly: "I don't want you to take action afterwards. At least don't touch Gongsun Xun. You don't know that your father wrote a sentence yesterday... It was about Gongsun Xun and Gongsun Xun.

's."

The three Yuan brothers immediately held their breath.

"What he means is that if the world is in chaos, the Gongsun family will be like the Geng family, and Gongsun Xun will be the master of the North!" At this point, Yuan Wei couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. "He also said, if you wait...

If you really have a destiny, you can take it yourself!"

The master of the North, or should be the master of the North, and Yuan Wei deliberately mistook it to avoid taboos... But it doesn't matter, just mean it is right. He refers to Geng Yan, who ranks fourth among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. This person

At that time, the famous young general whose father was the governor of Shanggu County saw Guangwu's demeanor. As a representative of the Youzhou Border County forces sent to investigate the situation in the Central Plains, he actually directly handed over the elite military power of the entire Youzhou Border County to Liu Xiu.

Help the latter achieve his imperial career.

Therefore, Liu Xiu often said with a smile that Geng Yan was his master of the North Road.

As a member of the Later Han Dynasty, no one does not understand the meaning of this allusion.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ji remained silent, because according to the arrangement, he had to defend Luozhong.

However, brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu couldn't help but be stunned, and then they all looked at each other with their own thoughts.

Another ball of saliva overflowed, but this time, none of the three brothers thought about wiping it for their old father... This made the latter feel sad, and even a trace of liquid slipped from the corner of his eyes.

Not to mention that Yuan and Yang had their own thoughts and turned around. On the tenth day of March, not only did the Song family abandon the market, but the emperor also publicly issued an edict not to collect the corpse! After hearing this news, Queen Song was suffering in the violent chamber.

I finally gave up my last thought and just waited to die.

——————I am the dividing line that glides across the corner of my mouth——————

"In the past when Taizu was in Luo, his talents and virtues were as clear as a crane standing among a flock of chickens. His servant Yuan Feng looked at him and secretly said to his disciples: 'This is the master of the northern land, I don't know who can take it!' When Taizu heard this, he became more and more excited.
