Gongsun Xun brought his followers and a team of soldiers, as well as the blood-stained door couplet with the words "champion lord"... In fact, it was the prototype of the plaque in later generations... He hadn't gone too far yet.
He was stopped by someone.
"Wen Qi!" Wang Yun was wearing a crown of Jinxian and a home-style train. However, he walked in a hurry and stopped Gongsun Xun's white horse on the street regardless of his image and identity. "I heard someone at home saying that you have already killed Wang
Has it just been taken down? Has it really happened?!"
Gongsun Xun immediately nodded: "I was about to go get Duan Xi again!"
Wang Yun held the opponent's reins and shook his head repeatedly: "Duan Xi is a martial artist, but he is nothing more than a minion of Wang Fu and others. If Wang Fu doesn't survive, he won't have anything to worry about... It's just Wen Qi, you have to tell me frankly, Wang Fu is like this
Is it inevitable that there will be no rebirth?"
Gongsun Xun immediately nodded again: "Don't worry, my lord, his father and his son will not live for three days, and maybe they will not live for today... I'll put it bluntly, even if the world decrees to pardon him, Duke Yang and I will definitely be there before the decree is issued.
Kill their father and son first to thank the world!"
Hearing this, Wang Yun couldn't help but let go of the reins, took a few steps back, and burst into tears on the street: "I didn't expect that this old thief would have such a day! I will go home quickly, prepare for sacrifice, and wait for the news of Wang Fu's death."
As soon as I arrive, I will pay homage to my old master Liu Gong..."
Gongsun Xun was naturally very kind to him.
However, just when Wang Zishi was about to go home to pay homage to Liu Zhi, the Taiyuan governor who died for him that day, he turned around and saw the plaque.
"Is this the blood of Wang Fu's traitor?" Wang Yun couldn't help but stop.
At this time, Gongsun Xun certainly would not disappoint others, so he nodded slightly in acquiescence.
After hearing this, the prince immediately did something shocking in front of everyone - he rolled up his sleeves, dipped his fingers into the blood on the plaque, and finally put it in his mouth.
Give it a lick.
Not to mention the family members who came with the prince's division, not to mention the passers-by around, even Han Dang and others who were fighting on the border were speechless for a while.
Of course Gongsun Xun also had goosebumps all over his body, but after all, he knew Wang Yun a little bit, so he was the first to react, then he forced a smile and asked with all his strength: "I wonder how it tastes?"
"Bah!" Wang Yun spat on the ground, and then said with a bitter look on his face. "The stench is extremely fishy, and there is nothing more evil in the world than this!"
"Isn't all human blood in the world salty?" Gongsun Xun continued to laugh dryly.
"How can the blood of eunuchs who bring harm to the country not be evil?!" Wang Yun said confidently.
Gongsun Xun raised his head and smiled, but suddenly his face became serious, and he quickly rode off to Duan Xi's house.
In other words, Duan Xi is a Taizhong doctor, and Taizhong doctor, Guanglu doctor, or the like are all typical false positions, with high ranks but no actual duties. Generally, they are
After the high-ranking ministers such as Sangong and Jiuqing stepped down, there was no corresponding vacancy. However, their status was so high that it was undoubtedly a humiliation to be given an official position, so they had to use this official position to support them.
In other words, if a person is a Taizhong doctor, Guanglu doctor or the like today, then there is no need to be surprised if he is suddenly worshiped as the third official and minister tomorrow... Isn't that the case for Qiao Xuan? Yang
Biao was repeatedly torn between Sangong and Dr. Guanglu.
And back to the present, when Duan Xi and Duan Jiming stepped down from the post of Yingchuan Prefect, and then went to Luo to join Cao Jie and Wang Fu, they originally wanted to finally gain the position of the three princes. Considering that he had served as a Taiwei before,
If he really serves as the Sangong twice, the Duan family's future will be barely certain, and it will be considered that they have completely established themselves in Luoyang...
Of course, everyone knows now that this record has been in Luoyang for such a long time, but he did not wait for the appointment of the Third Duke!
On the contrary, what Duan Taiwei first waited for was the complete failure of the Northern Expedition led by himself and his two beloved generals! It was a complete political loss!
Then, he waited for the news that the two lovers would be demoted to common people and killed on the roadside!
And now, he was waiting for the arrival of Taichung Duguan, the minister of state, who came to arrest people and the soldiers directly under the command of Sili Xiaowei!
But this time, Duan Xi, who was always famous for his ability to kill people, did not put up any unnecessary resistance. In fact, shortly after Gongsun Xun sent the plaque with three characters of "Champion Hou" removed from Wang Fu's door to Duan's house, the door opened directly.
When he opened it, Duan Xi's son also went out to greet him personally, saying that his father was waiting for his punishment in white clothes in the courtyard!
Gongsun Xun took a long breath and let the group of soldiers in first, and then led Yi Cong into the Duan Mansion. However, he obviously judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain... Duan Xi was
He was treated in white clothes in the courtyard, and there was no falsehood at all.
"Duan Gong!" Gongsun Xun stood in the courtyard and slightly cupped his hands to the old man sitting on the ground in front of him. "Are you accepting your fate?"
"Since a soldier has arrived, it must be approved by the emperor." Duan Xi's beard was gray and calm. "Furthermore, Wang Changshi has already been captured, and the matter is a foregone conclusion. In this case, as a minister, should I
Will I stand up to you and face you hand-to-hand?"
"Mr. Duan." Gongsun Xun nodded slightly, and then glanced with interest at the dozens of strong guests and family members in the corridor behind Duan Xi, but continued. "I'm not going to hide it from you, but others are the same.
Well, when you go to prison, you will definitely die together with Wang Fu and his son, so you must prepare in advance!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Duan Xi's wife and children were panicked, but the dozens of strong guests showed their anger directly, causing Han Dang and others to draw their swords one after another... The Duan Mansion was filled with sadness just now.
There is a tendency to turn it into a battlefield.
"Don't fall into his scheme!" Duan Xi, who was sitting on the ground, remained motionless and didn't even turn his head. However, just a shout made all these people quiet down. "He is deliberately irritating you and wants you to pull out.
But if you draw the sword now, it will only make you die in vain, and you will also be called a rebellious sinner!"
Gongsun Xun took two steps forward indifferently, came to Duan Xi, and sat down cross-legged: "Does Duke Duan think I am lying? In the first year of Xiping, in order to cater to Cao Jie, Wang Fu, General
Student Qian Tai was sent to prison, and then he beat such young scholars to death in prison. Later, he was promoted to Taiwei because of this merit. When you were so happy that day, didn't you ever think that one day you would have to pay for it with your life?"
The two of them sat opposite each other, separated by only a few feet, so-called eyes facing each other.
But when Duan Xi heard such a question, he spoke calmly: "I have been in the army for decades, how could I not know the great gains and losses? As you said, when I took refuge with the eunuchs and sought to become emperor, I had already thought about it.
Today's misfortune is why I calmly face each other in white today. However, I really didn't expect that you would be so eager to kill me! I didn't expect that you, Gongsun Xun, would question me so confidently... I still didn't expect you to come up and kill me!
I thought you were a person, but now I see you are just a fool!"
Gongsun Xun immediately laughed: "I roughly understand what Mr. Duan means. You regard the scholars and the eunuchs as rivals, the winner and the loser. So when you entered the game that day, you were already aware of it, and I, Gongsun Xun, was obviously just a
I am working as a thug for the scholars, but I only have a slightly better reputation. If I fail in the future, I will die without a burial place... So, I am obviously no better than you, but I am so complacent and ridiculous. Is this what you mean?
?”
"Isn't it?" Duan Xi sneered. "What you rely on is that you have so many escape routes now, and no matter how arrogant you are, your life is not worried for a while! You must know that as things change, you will still be able to have something twenty years later..."
"There are not twenty years left!" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. "What a pity, Mr. Duan!"
Duan Xi was confused and confused.
"Stop talking about this!" Gongsun Xun suddenly stood up. "The old and the new are changing, the party fights are ruthless, and private grudges are hard to settle. Duan Gong... I say it again, if you go to prison, it doesn't matter whether you are the emperor, Yang Qiu, or I, Gongsun Xun.
, I will definitely not allow you to come out alive! But I am from a neighboring county and know your contribution to the Han Dynasty better than anyone else, so I am chattering here! I just hope that you will end it first to avoid being humiliated in prison... And if this is the case
, I can also mediate to allow your wife and family to return to their hometown and live in peace!"
Duan Xi thought for a moment, but shook his head again and again: "You tricked me into committing suicide again and again. It may not be a scam. Maybe there is a chance to turn the case around! Please take me to the prison of Captain Sili. I
He won’t commit suicide!”
Gongsun Xun nodded helplessly: "In that case, I will visit Mr. Duan in prison tomorrow. I think Mr. Duan will have realized something by then... By then, my promise will still be valid, even if you let me give you a ride in person.
No problem!”
Duan Xili ignored him, but stood up suddenly and walked out with his head held high. Gongsun Xun waved his hand, and the team of soldiers followed immediately, preparing to imprison this former famous general in Liangzhou!
It was said that Duan Xi was going to die without a chance, but looking at the dozens of strong warriors with sad expressions and vaguely angry looks at him, Gongsun Xun, who said his personal grudges had been paid, was also in low spirits and was speechless for a moment.
So, although it was still early, he did not go to the prison to watch the execution, but went straight to his home... However, Gongsun Xun did not expect that there would be guests waiting for a long time at home.
"Wen Qi," Cao Cao, who was sitting in the hall, drinking with Lu Fan and playing with the cat, raised his glass slightly as a salute. "I didn't expect you to have such a world in your home. Good wine and civet cats are rare... Fortunately, I came here today.
Already."
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw the other party being so indulgent... In other words, how could he not know the reason why the other party came here?
As a retainer, Lu Fan had only managed to cope before. Now that his lord was back, he naturally stood up and left. Gongsun Xun had no choice but to sit down, and then raised a glass to Cao Cao with the hand that had just killed someone.
"I'm here to say goodbye." After drinking several glasses of wine, Cao Cao got straight to the point. "But I didn't expect you to be so impatient. The queen had just died and she had done such a big thing... I'm afraid this is what you and Mr. Qiao said that day.
?”
"Of course," Gongsun Xun nodded slightly, and then couldn't help but talk. "Queen..."
"The queen died in the storm chamber." Cao Cao raised his glass and drank a glass and said to himself. "Your Majesty did not mention how to bury her..."
No one spoke for a while in the hall, only a few birds on the eaves were chirping... In other words, there was no mention of how to bury the body, it was just that the body was not allowed to be collected. I really don't know what kind of ruthlessness this emperor has.
, where does this fierceness come from?
You know, after all, this is a queen who has been the mother of a country for many years. Even if the witchcraft is real, even if she wants to use the Song family to establish her power and wipe out all the old dignitaries... But everyone is dead, and the bodies are not allowed to be collected.
This is too much!
To be honest, this is no longer a show of authority, but an act of violence!
And in this case, it's no wonder that Gongsun Xun was so embarrassed... After all, they took advantage of the queen's tragic death and used the tyrannical emperor to quickly launch this incident.
"The case of Empress Song is inherently unclear. There are many injustices in the palace and the court. If the emperor acts like this, he is afraid that there will be more trouble." After a long pause, Cao Cao, who was sitting cross-legged, continued.
"Who says it's not the case?" Gongsun Xun replied bravely.
"Wen Qi and others punished the eunuchs for justice, so there is no need to feel embarrassed." Cao Cao probably saw Gongsun Xun's uneasiness, so he comforted him. "Others don't understand your difficulties, don't I understand? If you don't work hard to punish the eunuchs,
How can the scholars tolerate you? These days are critical, and the matter has come to this, so you must not waver."
Gongsun Xun smiled more and more bitterly, but he could only nod.
"However, it's no wonder that Wen Qi was uneasy when she saw me." Cao Cao suddenly laughed at himself. "I'm so pitiful! When I came to Luozhong, I wanted to be reinstated at first; but halfway through, I changed my mind to rescue.
In-laws; when I entered Luoyang, I wanted to collect the body of my in-laws; later, I just wanted to collect the body of my cousin; but now that the emperor doesn’t even allow the queen to collect the body, then I’m afraid I won’t even be able to bury my cousin.
!Of course there is no need to stay in Luozhong!"
Gongsun Xun also sighed for a moment: "On that day, we also said that we would invite Xu Ziyuan and Lou Zibo to have a drink together. Who would have thought that Brother Meng De would leave so soon?"
"There is no need to act like a child!" Cao Cao suddenly shook his head and said. "Wang Fu has something to do with my cousin. If Wen Qi can kill him for me, it will be somewhat fulfilling!"
Gongsun Xun quickly nodded, but once again told the fate of Wang Fu and his son, saying that the father and son were no longer healthy, which made Cao Cao nod repeatedly.
After Cao Mengde heard this, he couldn't help but ask about the specific plans of Gongsun Xun and others to punish the eunuchs.
In this regard, Gongsun Xun naturally had nothing to hide. After all, the matter had already been started, and Cao Mengde was so transparent that he would not secretly report the news to the eunuch.
"To be honest, Brother Meng De, the eunuchs in the court are headed by Cao Jie and Wang Fu. Cao Jie is very cunning and hid in his home early, fearing that he will be eager to get rid of him. As for Wang Fu, he has always been arrogant and domineering, and his momentum is overwhelming.
, I made an agreement with Yang Fangzheng that day to take this person first to do thunderous things! If we can get rid of this person first, the other regular servants such as Chun Yudeng, Yuan She, Feng Yu, etc. will definitely be discouraged. We can also use Wang
They were involved in the first case and captured in one fell swoop... By this time, Cao Jie has lost all foreign aid, and he can be easily defeated!"
Cao Cao thought for a moment and seemed to think that there was not much problem with this plan. However...
"However," Cao Cao said suddenly. "These eunuchs have been in the court for a long time and have many connections. Wen Qi must use thunderous methods to arrest and kill when he can. He must not delay it for too long..."
Gongsun Xun nodded again: "That's exactly what I mean... I will go to prison tomorrow to urge Yang Fang to kill him quickly to avoid future troubles!"
"Good!" Cao Cao nodded immediately. "Drink!"
——————I have prepared the dividing line——————
"Xi Qu was an eunuch, so he was able to protect his wealth, so he served Wang Fu in the party. In the first year of Xiping, Empress Dowager Dou died. Who wrote to Zhuqueque, saying, "The world was in chaos, Cao Jie, Wang Fu You killed the empress dowager, and he often served him.
Hou Lan killed many party members, and all the officials were dead, and no one had any loyal words. So he ordered Liu Meng, the commander of the school, to arrest him every ten days. Meng wrote a slanderous letter and spoke frankly, but refused to arrest him in a hurry. After more than a month, the Lord
The name was not established. He sat down fiercely and turned to the left to admonish the officials. He replaced Meng with the censor Zhongcheng Duan Xi. He was arrested in four places, as well as the Taixue wandering students. More than a thousand of them were imprisoned. Later Xi Fufu assisted Fu and was executed in vain.
Zheng Sa, Dong Teng, etc. were granted 4,000 additional households, adding to the previous 14,000 households." - "Book of the Later Han Dynasty". Biography of Duan Xi, Biography of Officials
