Chapter 410: All the Mechanisms Are Exhausted
Sima Yi was very smart. He knew that he could not disobey Lu Yong, so he started Lu Yong's purge plan after accepting it. However, he started with some small roles. The life of each family seemed vigorous, but like Zhong Yao It will take at least ten days for these celebrities to start processing. In addition, someone may come out to stop the process, so there should be more time.
This time, with the help of Tai Chi Chariot, was enough for Lu Bu to know about this and return. Now Sima Yi's only worry is Lu Bu's attitude. When Lu Yong returned to Chang'an to do these things, was it Lu Bu's hint? If so... then this can only be done. And so it continued.
Sima Yi didn't even dare to tell outsiders his thoughts in Chang'an City. At this time, anyone could go to Lu Yong to complain, and then he would be no longer a human being.
For a time, a large number of people were involved in Chang'an City because of Fu Wan's rebellion.
"Lord, let's go." Chen Gong was very satisfied with this scene. Lu Yong was indeed still young.
When Liu Bei heard this, he frowned and looked at Chen Gong: "Gongtai, what does this have to do with me?"
"My lord, haven't you seen it yet? This Lu family is taking this opportunity to eliminate the imperial party! My lord is among those to be eliminated." Chen Gong sighed.
Liu Bei frowned slightly. Faintly, he noticed something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"I'm going to see Xun You!" After hesitating for a moment, Liu Bei decided to go see Xun You first. For this kind of thing, you have to look at the attitude of Lu Bu's four ministers. From here, you can probably tell that Lu Bu has too much.
"Lord!" Chen Gong grabbed Liu Bei and said in a deep voice: "At this time, if you go to Xun You's place, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?"
"Gongtai, does this matter have anything to do with you?" Liu Bei suddenly looked at Chen Gong, with something in his eyes that Chen Gong had never seen before.
"My lord, you don't believe me?" Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei and frowned.
"Either I don't believe you, or it's because Bei knows you too well that I ask this question." Liu Bei sighed, looked at Chen Gong and said, "Yesterday I went to the Ministry of Punishment and met Zhang Fu."
Chen Gong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his body subconsciously leaned back a little.
"He never said anything about the list, nor did he say that this matter has anything to do with you." Liu Bei sighed a little lonely: "Although Lu Yong was wrong, it is common for young people to act impulsively regardless of the consequences. However, what happened with Fu Guozhang Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to disturb the public platform?”
Fu Wan is equivalent to using Lu Bu's soldiers to provoke Lu Bu. Is this possible? No matter how you look at this rebellion, it feels very stupid. Fu Wan is not a smart person, but it is impossible for him to take the initiative to die.
Liu Bei went over this matter over the past two days, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt there was something wrong. After seeing Fu Wan, Liu Bei vaguely understood that the plan might not be like this at the beginning, but the plan could convince Fu Wan to do this. Seriously, looking at Chang'an, there are actually not many people in Chang'an. Zhong Yao has this ability and ability, but Liu Bei knows very well that Zhong Yao cannot do such a thing, because the consequences may be the destruction of the Zhong family.
Chen Gong is also the same. Liu Bei doesn't want to think so, but Chen Gong's performance in the past few days makes Liu Bei suspicious, so he asked today.
Looking at Chen Gong's expression, Liu Bei didn't wait for his answer. He already knew the answer and sighed bitterly: "Gongtai, I know you don't like the Taiwei, but I didn't expect that you would use the emperor as bait. Can you tell me Why is this?"
"My lord, if Lu Bu is really allowed to wipe out the world, the Han Dynasty will be his. If Lu Bu carries the name of regicide at this time, it may inspire the world's knowledgeable people to rise up again!" Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei: " Lord, now is the critical moment for the revival of the Han Dynasty..."
"Shut up!" Liu Bei glared sharply, looked at Chen Gong and shouted: "A man was born in troubled times. He should be upright. Even if he is in adverse circumstances, he should bend down and wait for the fate. If one day, the Taiwei will kill me. , Even if Bei knew he was defeated, he would definitely fight to the death. With the whole Han Dynasty, at least until now, the Taiwei has not done anything wrong! "
"Including the massacre of scholars in Jizhou!?" Chen Gong asked.
"It's not just massacres. The effectiveness of the new policies of the imperial court has been verified in Guanzhong. I don't believe that wise men like Gongtai have not seen that since the gentry in Jizhou rebelled, they should suffer the consequences. The gentry system formed by the Han Dynasty since Guangwu is obviously wrong. !" Liu Bei said loudly, this was the first time he directly criticized the gentry politics.
Naturally, the gentry has existed for a long time, but the gentry politics gradually took shape after Guangwu. When the princes raised troops, they all relied on the noble families. Even when Liu Bei separatized Xuzhou, it was the same. But relying on it does not mean approval. In fact, what Lu Bu did in Guanzhong, the princes Everyone wanted to imitate him, but Sun Ce was the only one who really did it.
Now, as a member of the royal family, Liu Bei is standing in the Guanzhong court and looking at the world again. Naturally, what he sees is different from what he saw in Xuzhou. Naturally, he dares to say things that he did not dare to say before. This is actually the difference between all the princes and the nobles under his banner. Hiding the contradiction, Lu Bu seemed to be going on a killing spree in Jizhou, but when was it not the aristocratic family who started the trouble first? Is it wrong to fight back?
Liu Bei knew that Chen Gong had always been on the side of the nobles. Even if he followed Liu Bei, he would always rely on the nobles in many matters. In fact, the two sides got along quite harmoniously in Xuzhou, because Liu Bei also relied on the nobles at that time. However, after entering Guanzhong and becoming the prefect of Feng Yi, although Chen Gong still worked under Liu Bei, in fact, during this time in Feng Yi County, there were many differences between the two sides.
Because Guanzhong's policy is based on the people, although there are not many new laws, all of them are aimed at safeguarding the interests of the people. It is precisely because of this that there has actually begun to be a gap between Liu Bei and Chen Gong, but this is really the case. This is the first time for them to confront each other like tit for tat.
Chen Gong took two steps back and looked at Liu Bei with a frown, as if he recognized him for the first time.
"Gongtai, stop it." Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong and said, "With the court's current momentum, neither Cao Cao nor the Sun family can stop it."
"That's not necessarily the case!" Chen Gong took a step back and sneered: "Lü Bu may really not have the heart to replace Han, but Lu Yong is enough. Not only he has it, but many people under Lu Bu's command have it. This is power, so He didn’t support it and kept silent, so what’s wrong with supporting it? Now that Lu Yong has begun to liquidate the ministers and eliminate the imperial party, the next step is to become the emperor! "
Liu Bei's eyes condensed, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes when he looked at Chen Gong.
Chen Gong thought to himself and said: "Mr. Xuande, if Lu Bu conquers the world and the emperor abdicates, the world will recognize it. However, whether we kill the emperor today or imprison him, as long as that little beast makes a move on the emperor, Even if Lu Bu conquers the world in the future, he will do so improperly, and this stain will remain with him forever!"
Liu Bei snorted coldly, turned around and left, going straight to the Minister of Civil Affairs. He really couldn't think of a way to do this, but Xun You must have an idea.
"Xuan De Gong!" Chen Gong called to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong complicatedly: "It's up to you to take care of yourself..."
Chen Gong frowned and said, "Lü Bu is an ignorant and reckless man. Why did Duke Xuande help him like this?"
"Perhaps the Tao is different. The Tao seen in Gongtai is different from that of the Taiwei." Liu Bei sighed, turned around and left.
"The world can be without Lu Bu, but it cannot be without scholars!" Chen Gong shouted loudly.
Liu Bei didn't say anything else. This was Chen Gong's way. It was impossible to judge whether it was right or wrong, but what he did this time was definitely wrong.
Chen Gong did not stop Liu Bei anymore. He knew that all this was unsolvable. From the moment he called Liu Bei Xuande Gong, the relationship between the two men was severed.
After Liu Bei left the palace, he went directly to Xun You and told the story, hoping that Xun You would come forward to stop the matter.
"As early as when the young master did these things, he had already sent someone to the lord." Xun You looked at Liu Bei and smiled: "I'm afraid it has been sent to you now, Mr. Xuande, if the lord really has this intention, no one can stop him. "
Liu Bei nodded silently. The bet on this matter was Lu Bu's attitude. If Lu Bu just couldn't help himself and asked Lu Yong to come forward, then no one could stop this matter. But if Lu Bu didn't want to, as long as he knew it, Lu Yong would Just can't do it.
In fact, Xun You is quite complicated. He wants Lu Yong to succeed, but he also doesn't want Lu Yong to succeed. It's quite uncomfortable to have his heart mixed between the two.
Liu Bei nodded, but he felt that if Lu Bu wanted to be the emperor, there was no need to do these convoluted things.
"If all this was planned by someone..." Liu Bei looked at Xun You, wanting to know how he would deal with it, but he was still a little reluctant after all.
"The imperial court has gone through more calculations than Mr. Xuande imagined." Xun You smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, Mr. Xuande. There will be no chaos until the lord expresses his attitude."
At most, he would just arrest people. If he wanted to kill so many people, Lu Yong didn't have the right. When Xu Rong massacred the nobles, it was Lu Bu's order. Now without Lu Bu's order, at least no one in Guanzhong dares to make the decision without permission.
"As for the scheming person... Xuande Gong said, but is it Chen Gongtai?"
"This..." Liu Bei looked at Xun You in shock and frowned slightly.
"Don't panic, Mr. Xuande. Everything Chen Gong has done over the years has been recorded here." This kind of people... my lord will take care of it when he comes back.
Liu Bei frowned and looked at Xun You, and suddenly said: "If the Taiwei really has this intention, is Gongtai the culprit?"
Xun You did not answer, but gave Liu Bei a few volumes and said: "These are the things Chen Gongtai did during the years when Duke Xuande was in Fengyi County. Duke Xuande might as well take a look."
Liu Bei didn't look. Since Xun You said this, he could probably guess what was going on. He didn't want to look: "Mr. Gongda, do you think the Taiwei will come back?"
"I don't know." Xun You shook his head: "The Central Plains battlefield does not actually require my lord to participate. My lord stayed in Quanzhou because he had other important matters."
Now Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Zhang Ren, Xu Shu, and Gao Shun are all actively preparing for war and preparing to send troops to the Central Plains. They have not taken action just because the coordination has not been completed yet, and Jizhou has not yet been fully absorbed, so Lu Bu is actually not too busy now. If you want to Coming back, in Xun You's opinion, was not as serious as Chen Gong imagined.
"Farewell." Liu Bei smiled bitterly, saluted Xun You, turned and left...
