Chapter 9 The Ghost Blowing the Lamp by the Shanren Qin
Liu Yu's despair does not only come from Gongsun Xun's domineering and hostility, but also from the complex factions within the pro-Han faction... Some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. Even Liu Yu, the nominal pro-Han faction,
The leader himself cannot explain clearly.
In this regard, the only thing Liu Bo'an is sure of is that in the special place of Chang'an, the so-called pro-Han faction formed by the Han Dynasty's four hundred years of mighty virtue is actually far beyond superficial imagination, and there are many radicals among them. And this time
When General Wei returned to Chang'an, Liu Bo'an's response of inviting Gongsun Xun to be the general and his daughter to be his queen was actually a last resort attempt.
Why is this so?
It's very interesting to say that the mighty virtue of the Han Dynasty has always been a very mysterious thing. When Emperor Huan raised up party officials, all the scholars lost their hearts; Emperor Ling added taxes after the war and broke the trust of the whole world; and Dong Zhuo conquered Luoyang
Turned into a white ground... This thing didn't seem to exist at that time, otherwise why would it have fallen to this point today? And why would those things have happened in the first place?
However, when a real, visible person or organization appears, and they seem to be able to continue this for four hundred years, they will engrave the political system, folk culture, national boundaries, geography, etc. into the hearts of the people of the world.
The huge thing covered it, and when it was replaced, everyone was afraid and even frightened.
And most people, including those who had previously participated in confrontations, attacks, and dismemberments of this behemoth, believed from the bottom of their hearts that they had the moral obligation to stop all this.
Among them, there are noble families who are closely involved with the Han Dynasty, traditional scholar-bureaucrats who have read poetry and believe in Confucian loyalty to the emperor, and even Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Even if they know in their hearts that when they become the most powerful in the world, they will definitely
I had this idea of replacing the Han Dynasty, but at this time I really had a sense of mission to save the Han Dynasty.
This is neither fantasy nor hypocrisy.
Because this kind of sentiment has been widespread in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, whether it is to support the Han Dynasty at present, later to expel the Tatars and restore China, or even to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, as well as Rome will last forever, long live Persia, etc., these are not simple sentences.
The slogan, the large-scale presence of the old and the young indeed represents the aspirations of the people to a considerable extent.
In fact, this emotion is so widespread that it has even reached a level that can be defined in psychology. Psychology has studied the phenomenon that most people regard the old dynasty morally during dynasty changes.
In other words, from the scientific point of view that Gongsun Xun was obsessed with and yearned for, the people of the world defending the Han Dynasty and resisting his Gongsun family’s world is not only an act worthy of praise and recognition from traditional morals, but also a very scientific one.
thing.
After all, in this era, only two people can look at things with a unique view of right and wrong, civilization, and history. The rest still use the simplest and most traditional three views to make cognition and judgment -
-So in their view, no matter what, it is always wrong to rebel, right?
It can even be said that for these people, maintaining something like the Han Dynasty is itself the most basic and the most advanced moral requirement. Just like in the eyes of some people, "I can replace it" is itself the most conventional but also the most advanced moral requirement.
The historical achievements are average... The times are here, what is there to say?
Even people like Xu Yuanzhi and Chen Yuanlong would be confused and confused, so how could other people who had experienced more with the Han Dynasty? What's more, Gongsun Xun himself had a large number of potential enemies?
So everyone will be confused, even if Gongsun Xun said something about subjugating the world, subjugating the country, etc., they will still be confused. And confusion will lead to hesitation and choice, betrayal and determination, and a large number of people will fight for the so-called four Han Dynasties.
A hundred years of kindness to risk your life.
So back to the present, Liu Yu, Shisun Rui, and Huang Wan are really the stable faction among the pro-Han faction. Liu Yu came from Hebei and knew the great strength of Gongsun Xun; Shisun Rui was a native of Guanzhong
A steady traditional Confucian scholar, he was afraid that someone in Guanzhong would become like that in Henan, so he had a natural need for compromise; Huang Wan, thanks to Gongsun Xun, saved him from Li Jue's rebellion in another time and space, so he had many problems.
After living for several years and traveling one more time, after traveling around the Central Plains, Jingxiang, and Bashu, he saw something clearly and simply had no desire or desire, and just wanted to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty until his death.
But what about everyone else?
What about those with strong personalities, narrow vision, short-sightedness, speculation, and evil intentions? And what about the Guanzhong clan who were harmed by Gongsun Xun’s new policy? What about those who were overly nervous because of Gongsun Xun’s military expansion? Even
What about the emperor himself?
All we can say is that some things and people must exist and must exist widely.
For example, Gongsun Xun actually missed an extremely important group at the end of Baqiao Bridge - the emperor and some people who supported the Han faction not only requested to enrich Yeting in the past two years, in fact, after the emperor tied his hair, in order to continue his descendants,
It was unusual to have a few beauties at the age of fifteen or sixteen. The ones who really empowered the emperor and those around him were the Shizhong and the Huangmen Shilang.
Under the Han family system, the Shizhong and the Huangmen Shilang were close ministers who could get close to the emperor. So at the end of last year, Chang'an officially proposed that Chang'an should select the Shizhong and Huangmen Shilang locally. At that time, Gongsun Xun actually agreed to let Chang'an select them themselves.
, only a limited number of places are required - six servants and six Huangmen servants.
"General Wei was irritated by the incident of his foreign relatives, so it is a good thing to focus his attention on Wang, Dong and Fu." Wang Yun, a Taizhong doctor who has been stationed in Chang'an in an idle capacity for the past few years, said this, and his personal life
On the side were several people who had participated in the reception in front of Ba Bridge. As for the place they were in, it was Wang Yun's private room in the backyard. There were not even any servants, only candles flickering. "In this way, we will not delay our visit.
The overall situation... Besides, after today's incident, Liu Bo'an, Yang Wenxian, and those few ministers should wake up, and the emperor is smart enough to realize it, which is a good thing for us!"
At this point, the man suddenly looked at a dark-faced man with his legs crossed and said nothing, and then said seriously: "What, what else does Ma Shizhong have to say today? General Ma Teng thought he could just go on, but General Wei obviously didn't want to let go.
Let’s pass you by, right?”
The man with the black face was naturally Ma Yu, one of the six Huangmen servants. Hearing this, his face became even darker: "Why do you need to ridicule, Your Majesty? General Wei is just talking about conquering Shu. What does it have to do with us, Xiliang?"
Wang Yun asked in an increasingly deep voice: "Why should Ma Shilang deceive himself? Where should we go to conquer Shu? Should Wudu get out of the way? And if Wudu wants to allow General Wei's ten thousand elite men to enter together with Xu Rong's troops, plus the early morning
With half of Hanyang County in the hands of General Wei, I dare to ask the two generals of Xiliang, Ma and Han, how they can protect themselves? Besides, who wants to send his eldest son as a hostage back to persuade him to surrender when attacking Shu? Who wants to use only cavalry when attacking Shu?
Isn't Pang De, the leader of Yi Cong, a famous general from Xiliang and the son-in-law of General Han? Isn't the deputy general beside General Zhang Liao Yang Qiu, a great man from Xiliang who was squeezed out by Ma and Han? He is Ma Chao, the eldest son of General Ma Teng.
Did you bring them all to the side of the cavalry captain Zhao Yun? It was called the Conquest of Shu, but it was actually the annexation of Xiliang. Anyone who was interested in this matter would know at a glance. General Wei has evil intentions. How can we underestimate him when it comes to using troops?
I also hope that you will contact Ma and Han as soon as possible and tell them that their life or death is approaching, so that they can make their decision early!"
Wang Yun repeatedly questioned and requested, but Ma Yu couldn't answer anything.
Only then did some people around them realize that Gongsun Xun actually wanted to annex Xiliang instead of conquering Shu... Of course, they can't be blamed, they really didn't understand this.
"You can also contact some Mr. Liu." Wang Yun continued. "They have repeatedly rejected our invitation before, but that may not be the case today..."
"Isn't it called Defeating Shu, but actually it's Ding Xiliang?" Someone asked seriously, but it was Zhang Chang, another Huangmen minister.
Wang Yun looked at Zhang Chang and felt helpless.
It is said that Zhang Chang is the son of Zhang Huan, the Sanming of Liangzhou. However, in order to get rid of the Liangzhou people, Zhang Huan did not hesitate to exchange his military service for a Jingzhao household registration while studying, and became a mainlander. However, he still went crazy and insisted on letting his descendants
Reading and writing. Just like Zhang Chang, who is the legitimate son of Zhang Huan, he is as famous as his deceased brother Zhang Zhi. Zhang Zhi is the ancestor of cursive script and is known as the sage of cursive script! Zhang Chang is good at official script and relies on his elder brother.
His name is called Li Shu Ya Sage! In today's Chang'an, he is the only one who is qualified to compare with Zhong Yao's calligraphy!
Only his younger brother Zhang Meng still had the power of his father and was quite famous in Kansai, so he was specially recruited to win over him.
When Wang Yun saw the virtuous people thinking about each other and saw Zhang Chang speaking out, he thought of another thing - Huangfu Song, who was ranked among the three princes, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly left directly, and his son Huangfu Jianshou also resolutely resigned.
After taking up the position of servant, the whole family left Chang'an to escape the disaster, except for Huangfu Li, who was unwilling to accept it.
In this regard, Wang Zishi did not resent the Huangfu family. The Huangfu family had done their best for the Han Dynasty. When the time came, they just withdrew instead of turning back, so they just felt it was a pity sincerely, because if Huangfu and his son were sincerely serving the Han Dynasty, they would be willing to stay.
In Chang'an, given the prestige and military influence of the Huangfu family in Beidi, Hanyang, Sanfu and other places, there is definitely a lot to be done in the face of Gongsun Xun's attempt to annex Xiliang.
"People are not suffering enough, and they will return to Shu in time." Seeing Zhang Chang asking, Wang Yun lost his temper for a moment, but Jin Xuan, another empress of a local famous family in Guanxi, couldn't help but interjected and explained. "The military matter is
It’s hard to explain, but Guangwu was able to capture Longwang Shu back then, and the situation today must be the same... If General Wei easily annexes Mahan, he will definitely try to attack Zhanglu in Hanzhong to seize Long. And if Hanzhong is easily captured again, the attack will be
Shu is no longer a pretense, and things will go smoothly."
"That's it." Zhang Chang suddenly realized. "Then I'll go and tell Liu Dan, the servant, that we are good friends and we will definitely convince him, and then let him convince his brother. I must observe the situation when I go to Shu.
Be ready to move troops north at any time..."
"Don't look for Liu Dan." Wang Yun quickly waved his hand. "The Liu brothers have always been unwilling to follow us. Firstly, it is because Shuzhong has always been at peace with General Wei, and secondly, their brothers were all controlled by General Wei... The year before last
Liu Yizhou sent an envoy to ask for the release of his son, but General Wei only released his third son Liu Mao, who was neither good nor inferior... In other words, at this time, only Liu Fan himself, who was about to leave Chang'an, could handle important matters, and Liu Dan was not worth the risk.
."
Zhang Chang nodded slowly.
Seeing that the other party seemed disapproving, Wang Yun could not help but lower his voice and earnestly urged: "Gentlemen, even I have to admit that General Wei has indeed made great contributions to the court, and what he said at Weiqiao is quite deceptive.
In addition, Hebei now has strong soldiers and horses, and this time he has brought thousands of elite cavalry here, which makes people fearful... So under the current situation, someone may see that the situation is not good and directly act as a person to betray the Han Dynasty. So everyone communicates
At this time, you must be careful and careful, and you must not be so arrogant that you will leak the secret and end up with everyone! Especially since General Wei was so angry that he didn't pay much attention to the ministers and ministers, so we must
Be careful not to be exposed, because once exposed, it will definitely arouse daydreams and lead to implication. By then, we will be dead and our family will be destroyed. Only Han's kindness can not be denied!"
Everyone in the room no longer said anything, but all bared their left arms, imitating Zhou Bo's allusion when he punished the Lus - those who follow Liu are all left-handed!
Wang Yun nodded slightly, and everyone dispersed. When he came out of the secret room, under the starlight in the courtyard, he saw the figures of Shizhong Shejian and Huangfu Li, Huangfu Song's nephew, who were both from the Guanzhong family. It was not surprising.
To put it bluntly, the Shizhong and the Huangmen Shilang are close ministers of the emperor, and the emperor took advantage of the opportunity to recruit them under the pretext of studying with his hair tied up, in order to attract talents and seek political alliances.
Only compared to those three relatives, he seemed more upright.
If you think about it carefully, you will know that among the six servants, except for one Huangfu Jianshou who resigned, the other five, Yang Qi and Yang Zhongnai, are the descendants of the most famous family in Guanxi, the Hongnong Huayin Yang family, and the brothers of Yang Biao.
; Liu Dan is the second son of Liu Yan; Shejian and Jinxuan are the helmsmen of a wealthy local family in Jingzhao.
As for the six Huangmen ministers, Ma Yu was a relative whom Ma Teng recognized in Sanfu after he gradually gained a foothold, and they basically represented Ma Teng; Ding Chong was a native of Pei State and a fellow villager of Cao Cao, and he definitely didn't know it at this time.
What happened to his two sons in another time and space; Fu Qian was from the Fu family, the largest family in the North, and was also the son of the famous minister Fu Nanrong; Gaishun and Fu Qian were the same thing, his father was Gai Xun, and his family was in Hanyang
It is deeply rooted; as for Zhang Chang and Huangfu Li, they are all descendants of Sanming in Liangzhou, not to mention.
These people either have enough reasons to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, or they have enough reasons to oppose Gongsun Xun, and they are all powerful people. They either can find foreign aid, are from local wealthy families, or have people in Liangzhou, Sanfu and other places.
Huge influence... It can be seen that the emperor who had just tied his hair and the loyal ministers around him really put a lot of effort into selecting people.
During this time, Shejian walked out of Wang Yun's mansion and secretly turned into an alley. After sighing for a long time, he was about to go out and walk around to find his carriage parked far away, but unexpectedly he was stopped again.
"Attendant Shooting," the person who came was none other than Wang Yun's trusted servant. "My master, please turn back."
She Jian did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly turned back and returned to Wang Yun's mansion to re-enter the secret room. He saw his colleague Jin Xuan also there.
, Jin Shizhong, I have something to entrust to you two... Could you please go to General Wei's house to report today's meeting separately?"
She Jian was immediately stunned.
But Jin Xuan soon realized: "Does the prince think that General Wei will notice us sooner or later? So he is worried in advance?"
"Yes," Wang Yun said sincerely. "I have thought for a long time that General Wei may have been angered by the marriage on Baqiao. He only had three relatives in his eyes at the moment, but with his intelligence and prejudice against me, sooner or later he would be on guard.
I, and I think of all the ministers and ministers from me, instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to disturb their minds first... And I also know that, such as She Shizhong, Jin Shizhong and you, the big families in Guanzhong, although they are extremely dissatisfied with General Wei because of the New Deal
, but I’m even more afraid of his Overlord Broken Blade, otherwise I wouldn’t have surrendered on the surface, and now that General Tiwan of the Guard has returned to Chang’an, I won’t dare to use you even if you are truly loyal to the Han Dynasty!”
She Jian and Jin Xuan looked at each other, and then both wanted to speak.
"There is no need to defend, and this is a strategy that has the best of both worlds. Firstly, you are doing your best for the Han Dynasty; secondly, you can avoid the family from getting into trouble, and you can get away with it, and you can feel at ease whether things succeed or fail in the future... In this way, why
Are you happy but not doing it?" Having said this, Wang Yun leaned forward and bowed. "Just think that you two are aggrieved for the Han Dynasty, and you will die!"
She and Jin each sighed and had no choice but to bend down and return the favor.
After getting up, Jin Xuan took the initiative to ask: "When I go to General Wei, which names should I report? Please tell me directly."
"Naturally, the report is for me, City Gate School Captain Dong Cheng, the left and right Zhonglang Generals, Wang, Huangmen Shilang Huangfu Li, and their names." Wang Yun answered frankly, as if he had already had an idea. "Three.
It was so obvious that he was a foreign relative, General Wei hated him deeply, and General Wei had already been very angry with me... Although Huangfu's minister was brave, but now that Huangfu Gong and his son are gone, most of them can't control his uncle's old troops.
, and General Wei, for the sake of Duke Huangfu, will probably not embarrass this useless person, and will just use it to cover up."
Hearing this, She and Jin knew that Wang Yun had already had a good idea. How could he talk too much? They just bowed again and left in a hurry.
On the evening of the second day, General Wei's Mansion.
"In other words," Gongsun Xun looked at Liu Fan in front of him thoughtfully. "After the prince's division found you and asked you to return to Shu, not only did you not persuade your father to surrender, but he asked you to persuade your father to send troops to fight with me.
Confrontation? And then he also said that he would work with Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, Wang Bin and others to do great things in Chang'an in response?!"
Liu Fan nodded repeatedly.
"History is a spiral, not a circle. Why don't you understand?" Gongsun Xun looked at Liu Yan's eldest son in front of him, who could be called an old friend, and shook his head for a moment. "If I remember correctly, if I am not,
Your boy is already dead!"
Liu Fan became more and more panicked... Not to mention the last sentence, he understood every word of the previous sentence, but why didn't he understand it even when they were connected together? And the last sentence was a bit confusing, which time did it refer to?
It should refer to Dong Zhuo’s move of the capital, right?
————I am the dividing line that connects and understands nothing————
"When Taizu arrived in Chang'an, the crowd was ugly and horrified. Wang Yun and all the rebels made a plan to Taizu and reiterated the old oath. Not long after, eight people attended the meeting, and four of them came out first!" - "Old Book of Yan", Volume 2.
The Chronicle of Emperor Taizu Wu
ps: I couldn’t sleep. I originally asked for leave, but the leave application form was sent out, but I spent the whole night coding two chapters... I thought I still had to ask for leave. It might be gone tomorrow, so I just treated the leave application form and put it until tomorrow. The main reason is that I’m afraid that I won’t be able to keep up with my schedule.
Come on, I'm going to die suddenly, so I plan to come back tonight and take melatonin to forcefully adjust my work schedule... I'm going to move bricks first.
Speaking of which, I asked for leave every day, but last month it exceeded the limit. This month, I paid 27k for five days. What is there to complain about?
