Chapter 97
Cai Yong took a deep breath, glanced at his left and right, and seemed to think slowly for three or five seconds before sighing slowly:
"These contents of these rebellious letters are reasonable and well-founded, and the causes and consequences are rigorous. I believe they are true... Maybe the original was burned by Zhang Lu, or maybe you were tortured from the insider and then forming texts.
Give me some time, it is not difficult to have a handwriting similar to those common letters - don't you hurry? I'm also for the sake of the people of the world, and I don't want to see so many Han clan members in Shu kill each other all year round."
It is certainly not the same as not wanting to see the Han family members "kill each other for many years" and not wanting to see the "kill each other forever".
Li Su is a human spirit, and you can obviously hear the difference.
The latter statement does not want Liu Yan and Liu Bei to meet each other; while the former statement is "If you want to take action, you should quickly decide the winner and lose. The party that occupies the righteous will kill the party that is indecisive as soon as possible so that the people will suffer less."
Letting the damned warlords die faster, it is better to have short pain than long pain, which is also a great merit to the people. Cai Yong really thought so.
At this point, Cai Yong knew in his heart: Liu Yan obviously had a desire to be out of control and separatist. The only difference was whether this behavior had reached the level of open rebellion. So I would like to push him.
Li Suzha said and said his expression. When the other party was almost struggling, he relaxed and relaxed just in time: "I'm not in a hurry, General Zhenxi doesn't know anything. Taishan can think about it slowly.
Besides, this kind of thing cannot be tempted. Even if you have a very similar rebellious handwriting, you have to have the right time to deliver it. And let Zong Zhengjingsheng Gong ask by chance how to compare and identify the handwriting strategy... Take it slowly."
Cai Yong sighed relieved: "I think so too, I am not afraid of being a joke by a virtuous son-in-law. Now my official position is even less slight than a virtuous son-in-law. It is inevitable that I will be confused when I go to find Jing Sheng's virtuous brother.
In June, Shizhong Dong Fu was seriously ill and now he has been bedridden for more than a month. Last month, the general and his confidant, the Prince of the Shaofu, even exclaimed to me, saying that he would be promoted to Shizhong by the method of being transferred to a foreign official and not staying at the center.
If the virtuous son-in-law and the general of Zhenxi are not in a hurry, I think I can say that I am sick in Nanyang and delay for more than a month. When I imitate these letters first, I will not talk to Jing Sheng about 'how to compare the authenticity of the appraisal document'. It is not too late for the virtuous son-in-law to come to Beijing to report the victory to His Majesty."
(Note: Cai Yong is already 55 years old, Liu is 48 years old, so he is a virtuous brother)
After hearing this, Li Su couldn't help but slightly change her view of Cai Yong.
You can't treat him as a pure old scholar or a great scholar!
Unexpectedly, less than half a year after returning to the court to become an official, Cai Yong's political acumen of more than ten years of being a Beijing official came back. This kind of work seems to be very organized and his ideas are quite clear.
Perhaps this is the level that a Beijing official should have.
But how could such a politically sensitive person have lost his mind in history when Dong Zhuo died?
Li Su quickly changed his words: "Taishan is meticulous, so I will follow the view of Taishan. Moreover, I was abrupt and rude. After talking for a long time, I had not yet asked what position Taishan is currently in... When I was in Nanyang, I found out that the general appointed Taishan as the Attorney Censor. I didn't expect that I would be promoted to Attorney in more than a month? It's really gratifying."
When I met my father-in-law, I talked about secret matters as soon as I came up, but I didn’t even care about what the other party was. Strictly speaking, it was quite unfilial.
The Censor of the Attorney was only 600 stones, and the Attorney was 2,000 stones. The difference between the two was too far. It is estimated that Cai Yong had at least 1,000 stones now, and then he could have enough of the Attorney, otherwise he would not be able to leap up.
Even if Dong Zhuo promoted Cai Yong in history, he had to "between two months, the three stages of the week" and used various clever names to use the unspoken rules of the officialdom to raise the 600-stone person to 2,000.
Cai Yong also smiled awkwardly, and then he had the opportunity to say these common things: "It's nothing. Even if he is a Shizhong, his rank is not as good as the rank of the son-in-law. The Shizhong was the official position when I returned to the court in March. In June, I was promoted to Shangshu and was in Shaofu. The rank of Shizhong was still far from the rank of Shizhong.
Therefore, Wang Shaofu catered to the general's intention and came up with the old way of "replacing a foreign official will not stay in the middle", so that I would first release the prefect of Ba County next month on the grounds that the road was not open and unable to take office, so that the rank would be almost the same."
The method of rapid promotion mentioned by Cai Yong may be a little confused when the layman's eyes are exposed, but you will understand after a little explanation.
Because of the Han Dynasty system, the rank of local officials was actually much higher than that of Beijing officials. Positions such as Shangshu were officials of Shaofu, and the rank was relatively low, but the real power was very heavy. The early Shangshu was only 600 stones, and later it reached Bi Qianshi.
If you are promoted from the Shangshu to the Shizhong, it will be too difficult to operate and will easily arouse hostility from other senior citizens in the court. Don’t underestimate this hostility. In the court, it is also very important to take care of all aspects of the feelings. Even if He Jin is a general, he must take into account both.
Therefore, in history, in the past two years in 189 and 190, there was a way in the court, called "pretending to send a person of the Shangshu level to the prefect of Ba County, but in fact he could not take office, and then he could turn himself into a senior official at the level of the Nine Ministers."
Because no matter how high the rank of foreign officials is, they will not be hated by Beijing officials.
Why Bajun?
Because in history, in the past two years, only Bajun was isolated from the Han envoy by Zhang Lu;
At the same time, before Zhang Lu was isolated, the court knew that the old prefect was killed by the Brazilian thief Gan Ning, and there was no prefect there;
Moreover, even if Zhang Lu made way, Ba County still had Banhuman rebellion and had not been quelled, so it was impossible for Ba County prefect to take office.
This is not a coincidence, nor is it God who cheated Li Su, but history is like this - there are two ironclad evidences. When Dong Zhuo was in power, Dong Zhuo even appointed Cai Yong and Xu Jing as the prefects of Ba County almost at the same time. One official and two terms were only a few days apart, and almost made a joke.
But Cai Yong immediately compensated him with a rank similar to that of the prefect of Ba County on the grounds that he was "unable to take office".
Xu Jing also compensated the Shangshu Ling for the same reason. Before Xu Jing was appointed as the prefect of Ba County, he was just the Shangshu "Lang", with the characters Lang and the characters Ling, and his rank was very different.
Then the court officials understood Dong Zhuo’s actions: I didn’t want these two guys to be promoted too quickly to attract hatred.
To put it bluntly, the prefect of Ba County is a trash can for the court officials who are now shy and shit-covering, allowing the relatives to quickly complete the shortcut of "Six hundred stones of Beijing Officials-Two thousand stones of foreign officials-Because they cannot take office-compensate you for a 2 thousand stone of Beijing Officials".
However, Li Su came out! There was a turning point here in history.
Zhang Lu has been killed by Liu Bei, Ban Man has also been surrendered by money, and Gan Ning has also been captured!
As long as Li Su appears, when will he appear, he will announce when the prefect of Ba County can successfully take office!
After getting inside information about his prospective father-in-law, Li Su instantly adjusted his strategy and changed his words and advised:
"Since that's the case... I don't think Taishan has to wait for the general to be transferred to you as the Shizhong - the general should first be transferred to Taishan as the prefect of Ba County, and then stay in Zhong and change his post on the grounds that he was unable to take office?
The son-in-law is willing to calculate the time. After the general's transfer order from the prefect of Ba County was issued, and the subsequent transfer order from the retention center was not issued, the time difference between the time, arrives in the capital, report the victory to His Majesty, and informs Hanzhong that all Ba County has been pacified and that the prefect of Ba County can take office!
Moreover, the son-in-law is also good for Mount Tai. The position of the Shizhong was originally noble, but it was not very good to take over the position of the Shizhong recently because the Dong Shizhong who had just left the position seriously ill was involved in the Liu Yanni case."
Hehehe, He Jin and Wang Yun also learned from Dong Zhuo, and wanted to treat the impotent position of Ba County as a trash can to cover their shame across the bridge. Now I'll take it off!
(With He Jin's IQ, I guess I can't think of such an official operation. He and Dong Zhuo used the same trick, and it may have been taught by Wang Yun of Shaofu)
Cai Yong's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this.
Of course, he also wanted to come back to be an official, but the current situation in the capital seems not very stable. Being a foreign official will definitely be more comfortable than being a Beijing official.
If I could really be the prefect of the big county of 2,000 stones, wouldn’t it be more comfortable than the attendant?
"Yes... Why didn't I expect that Ba County could not arrive before. If the son-in-law comes, wouldn't it be there? OK, then let's adjust the time. The son-in-law should go back to Yique Pass in Nanyang to pretend to be sick... for half a month. When the general pretends to let me go to the prefect of Ba County, I will immediately notify the son-in-law of the son-in-law of the son-in-law of the son-in-law of the son-in-law of the son-in-law of the son-in-law of the son-in-law of the son-in-law of the son-in-law of the son-in-law of the horse and then go to Beijing with his horse.
By the way, the virtuous son-in-law just said that Dong Fu and Shizhong also involved Liu Yan's case. What's going on? It's all my fault that I didn't read all the rebellious letters and confessions carefully just now. Since I want to help the virtuous son-in-law accomplish this, it's better to take this opportunity to review all the evidence involving Liu Yan's party first. I'm also mentally prepared to know who can get close to the court in the near future and who should keep a distance."
Cai Yong wanted to pick out the people involved with Liu Yan as soon as possible, and try to clear the relationship and not date them in the past few months, so as not to lose any handle at the last moment before leaving.
He now cherishes the opportunity to be the prefect of another county.
Li Su carefully arranged the letters and confessions just now, and personally guided him to check them out.
In fact, in the center of the court, there were not many people involved in the case of Liu Yanni, mainly Dong Fu. The evidence of the crime was nothing more than the prophecies and divination prophecies written in Liu Yan's false letters, such as Dong Fu's telling him that "Yizhou has the aura of the emperor" and "making the sister of the nephew Wu Yi's noble son unspeakable, and can be a good match for the third prince."
After seeing this, Cai Yong was so angry that he was trembling: "This Dong Fu! As a court official, he actually said such words to Liu Yan to persuade people to rebel. It seems that he would not have to die in the hospital bed.
Well? It is also mentioned here that Liu Yan did listen to this and married Wu Yi's sister for his third son Liu Mao... Then wasn't Wu Yi's clan brother of Wu Ban? Wu Kuang, the father of Wu Ban, also involved in the rebellion case? Wu Kuang was the confidant of the general who was in charge of the capital city guards. He and Zhang Zhang each held half of the capital city troops."
When Cai Yong suddenly spoke about this interpersonal relationship, even Li Su couldn't help but be shocked: What? Wu Yi is Wu Kuang's nephew?
When he saw the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, it became dark under the light. He always felt that Wu Yi was just an important official in Shu and should have nothing to do with the Luoyang court center. When Cai Yong reminded him, he noticed that there was such a relative.
This Wu Kuang was also the key piece of Dong Zhuotun and He Jin's power.
After He Jin was killed by eunuchs in official history, he could not even kill eunuchs relying on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's personal bodyguards who protected He Jin. The main force who really attacked the palace was Wu Kuang's troops.
After Dong Zhuo and Shaodi returned to the capital, they wanted to annex He Jin's direct troops, and their main targets were Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang. It was these two who were frightened by Dong Zhuo and won over and overthrew them. Dong Zhuo overthrew the local army in Luoyang.
Moreover, after He Jin's death, Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang characterized his brother He Miao as a "traitor who plotted against his brother" and killed He Miao, which caused He Jin's power to completely lose its backbone and had to collapse and rely on Dong Zhuo.
Unexpectedly, such a key general in the capital could also be involved in the Liu Yanni case!
Wu Kuang's late brother has now become Liu Yan's in-laws! Some people also say that Wu Kuang's niece looks like a queen!
This news broke out a few years ago, which is amazing.
