At night, Wang Yun and Yang Qi discussed the details and wrote the four characters "Puyin Chen Family" at the end of the letter.
After writing the memorial, he sent trustworthy retainers to Luoyang early the next morning.
Wang Yun was recruited as the governor of Yuzhou, and he also recruited famous scholars Shang Shuang and Kong Rong to serve as governors. The three of them were also old friends.
The next morning, Kong Rong noticed that Wang Yun's face was not very good-looking and he had dark circles under his eyes. He couldn't help but asked strangely: "Master, did you not rest last night?"
Wang Yun thought to himself, "Isn't my heart broken because of you?"
The content of the letter he got yesterday shocked him. It turned out to be a letter between Zhang Rang's guest and the top brass of the Yellow Turban Army. It involved many secrets about Taiping Road.
The content of the letter is also very simple. It is actually a list of believers in Taiping Dao from various places in Yuzhou and Jizhou.
Before Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Turban Uprising, there were countless followers of Taiping Dao across the country, and their tentacles even reached into the palace, and many dignitaries were their followers.
The identities of the people who can be included in the list of these believers are all extraordinary. Some are local wealthy families, some are celebrities from various places, some are eunuchs in the court, some are officials from all over the world, and there are even followers of Taiping Dao officials in Yizhou.
.
Among them, the Confucian family of Lu State actually had disciples of Taiping Dao.
For this reason, Wang Yun and Yang Qi discussed it all night yesterday, picking and choosing, analyzing what should be deleted and what should be left in, and then they wrote a memorial and submitted it, preparing to bring down Zhang Rang.
Some people may wonder, how could Zhang Rang be brought down with nothing but a memorial from Wang Yun?
But in fact, before the Taiping Dao Uprising, although this religion was not officially recognized by the court, it was not suppressed by the court. It was an orthodox religion and people were allowed to practice it freely.
Many eunuchs and maids in the palace were followers of Taiping Dao. For example, the eunuch Feng Xu of Zhongchang who was contacted by Ma Yuanyi, and Xu Feng were from Zhang Jiao. These are recorded in the "Book of the Later Han", and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty himself knew it.
Therefore, in the original history, Wang Yun's memorial was without evidence. It was just that Zhang Rang's guests did talk about some things in this regard in their letters.
Wang Yun investigated for a long time, but he only suspected that Zhang Rang was involved with the Yellow Turbans, without any real evidence.
After all, Emperor Ling of Han was not a fool.
If Wang Yun really gets the conclusive evidence that Zhang Rang has something to do with Taiping Dao, and confirms that Zhang Rang is controlled by Taiping Dao and is a member of the Yellow Turban. Even if Zhang Rang is favored again, such a thing that threatens the imperial power and his own life, Han Ling
No matter how stupid the emperor was, he would not protect him. He had already dragged Zhang Rang out and executed him.
Therefore, it can be foreseen that Wang Yun's memorial can only be superficial and cannot be regarded as something substantial.
However, everything in the letter is true and can withstand scrutiny.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty only needed to look up a random company in the directory to see if they were Taiping Tao believers before, and he would be able to find out what was going on and verify the authenticity of the letter with 100% certainty.
Therefore, in fact, the content of these letters is not important. What is important is that the person writing the letter is a guest of Zhang Rang, and it is someone close to Zhang Rang who is in contact with the Yellow Turban.
This would naturally implicate Zhang Rang, making Emperor Han Ling suspicious of Zhang Rang.
But I couldn't say these things to Kong Rong. I couldn't tell him that your Kong family also had two or five young men from Taiping Road.
Wang Yun could only say perfunctorily: "Well, I read late at night last night."
Kong Rong admired him and said: "Master Zi is really a role model for our generation. Even when he is marching and fighting, he never forgets to read."
Wang Yun was too lazy to pick up the slack. Kong Rong was too upright. No matter in the officialdom or anywhere, a person who was too upright could not go far.
Wang Yun could have borrowed someone else's help for this plan, such as handing the letter to the Yang family and asking Yang Ci to do it.
Anyway, Yang Ci was the emperor's master and had fought against eunuchs before. Even Liu Hong couldn't do anything to him.
But Wang Yun felt that this was a good opportunity to gain prestige. If he defeated Zhang Rang, he would immediately become famous all over the world and become a well-known celebrity in the country.
Even if Zhang Rang was not brought down, many officials in the imperial court would definitely save his life because of their favors that helped various wealthy families delete their names.
How could Wang Yun miss such an opportunity to make him famous?
Facts have proved that he was right.
Qing History records that after this incident, although Wang Yun did not bring down Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang framed him several times and had him imprisoned many times.
But every time he was imprisoned, countless officials would rush to save him. For example, Yang Ci, Yuan Wei, He Jin, and Zhang Wen all took action and even jointly rescued him from prison and saved his life. Later, Dong Zhuo came to Beijing and worshiped
As a Situ, he also valued his reputation.
It can be seen that this incident benefited him a lot.
As for Chen Mu?
That was just a casual thing.
Wang Yun didn't know if anyone from the Chen family in Puyin believed in Taiping Dao. This was not his focus.
The point is that it only takes a seed of doubt for the emperor to send a meritorious contender without any background or reputation into hell.
If there is a Taiping Tao believer in the family, can such a person continue to be reused?
Even if he is not dismissed from office, he will still have to be transferred to another place.
And this method is undoubtedly very clever and has a very high success rate.
After all, the content of the letter is true, so the directory in the letter must also be true.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty could find factual evidence by checking just one house. If he checked ten houses, there would be ten. So when it comes to the eleventh house, does it still need to be verified?
This is equivalent to the fact that out of a hundred pearls, only one is fake. After confirming that the first ninety-nine pearls are real, it doesn't matter whether the last one is fake or not.
The highest level of panic talk is that 99% of the truth is true and only 1% of the truth is false.
Therefore, Wang Yun's plan was undoubtedly very vicious. It could almost be said to have cut off Chen Mu's official career, causing him to lose all the military exploits he could have gained on the battlefield in Yuzhou.
Of course, some naive children may ask, there is no enmity or enmity between the two of them, why would Wang Yun do this?
However, for children who ask such questions, even Chen Mu, who is only seventeen years old now, can only answer, you still don't understand the dangers of the world.
When a person makes money and returns to his hometown, the folks in his hometown will not give him a warm welcome. Instead, they will come to borrow money. If he borrows the money, he will not pay it back. If he doesn't borrow the money, he will poke you in the back, say you have forgotten your roots, and make you jealous.
Get rich.
A person has made great achievements in the company and is praised by his boss. His colleagues may outwardly congratulate him, but secretly they wish he could die.
Some people are kind-hearted at heart, but they still have evil thoughts from time to time.
Some people are just jackals. In their eyes, the fault is not themselves, but those who have gained wealth through struggle and hard work. Why do they have money? Why don't they give me the money?
There are countless people in this world, and the human heart is the hardest to guess.
Chen Mu was powerless, but he made great contributions to Changshe. He also made suggestions in Xihua, which were adopted by Huangfu Song, thereby greatly defeating Peng Tuo's achievements.
How could those aristocratic families not be jealous of such a person?
How could you not think about squeezing him away and taking his credit alone?
People's hearts are unpredictable, dark and complex.
No one understands the human heart, and things in the world are always so unpredictable.
