It was getting late, but the atmosphere in Chang'an City was still solemn.

In the long streets and short alleys, there are cavalry and soldiers patrolling with torches everywhere, as well as Jing Zhaoyin, and officials under the Chang'an Order accompanied them to shout martial law, asking the people not to leave their homes without permission, and to be more careful when someone intrudes.

Report in time; the city gates everywhere are closed, and the garrison soldiers light the braziers at the top of the city. There are troops patrolling along the city wall in the brightly lit areas above the city wall and in the shadows of the walls below to prevent anyone from escaping; Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, Guangming

The palace, Sangong and Jiuqing's offices, arsenals, grain depots, and money depots were all taken over by elite men. They were not allowed to enter or exit without permission. Even the eunuchs who carried the emperor's decree were stopped... The armor was clanking, the hoofs of the horses were clanging, and the white blades were flashing.

Bright and dazzling, Chang'an City seemed to have returned to the unforgettable time five years ago in one day.

To be fair, most smart people could have predicted this scene, otherwise there would not have been so many people heading east to Ye before, not to mention that there had been an undercurrent in Chang'an City for more than a year.

As well as the head-on conflict between Gongsun Xun and some ministers on Baqiao a few days ago.

However, when the incident actually happened, everyone found it difficult to accept it. But on the other hand, when the incident has reached this stage, how could we pretend to be deaf and mute and stay out of it?

So people are so contradictory and ridiculous. Even though they know what will happen, they still do what they want. Over the years, it is just a replay of certain episodes, but it still makes people never tire of it.

The former Prime Minister Dong Zhuo's Mansion, the Taiwei Mansion earlier, and the current General Wei Mansion, as places that can really determine the direction of things and the fate of some people, this place has a feeling of tranquility in the eye of the storm... Everyone came to the mansion,

Naturally, most of the soldiers and horses covered with blood were disbanded on the spot, with only a small number parked outside. Zhang Liao only brought a few people inside to report, and only four of them, Wang Yun and Wang Bin, were detained in the hall by the soldiers.

In the outer courtyard, the accompanying ministers came into the palace one after another. In addition, the palace seemed completely peaceful, which created a strange and peaceful atmosphere here that was completely different from that in the city.

Not only that, after the ministers sat down in the hall, before they saw Gongsun Xun in person, they saw the servants in the palace thoughtfully serving tea soup and dinner... The soup was vegetable batter soup, two side dishes, scrambled eggs and stewed pork.

Coupled with the tea served at the end, it took great care of the appetite and health of this group of elderly people.

And at this time, you can see the difference between people... Some people are timid and trembling, but they can't eat at all when faced with such a suitable dinner; while some people are as relaxed as if they were at home, and even follow the medical advice.

Immortals, as the 'Medical Sage' said, chew carefully and eat slowly; there are also some people, such as Liu Yu and Huang Wan, who are indeed old and have worked hard all day, no matter how worried they are, they have to eat at this time.

I took in some food and water for supplementation, but I couldn't cover up what was on my mind, so I ate a little impatiently.

In this way, all the ministers, either in a hurry or in a hurry, had almost finished their meals. Gongsun Xun only led a few followers into the hall through the side door... He neither kept those who had finished their meals waiting too long nor did he wait for too long.

It means to deliberately scare and frighten people.

But no matter what, after he sat down to sit down for the first few cases, the whole hall still became solemn. After Taiwei Liu Yu, Huang Wan, Yang Biao and others made eye contact with each other several times, they were about to speak, but suddenly smelled

The first person took the initiative to speak out.

"I already know everything about what happened today. City Gate School Captain Dong Cheng...ha!" Gongsun Xun opened his mouth to discuss the matter, but unexpectedly as soon as he spoke, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and laugh. After a long pause, he managed to continue, and then

Extremely short. "I can only say that Dong Guozhang really surprised me. What do you think?"

Now that Gongsun Xun had lost his composure, the whole court, as well as the many two thousand stones from the city accompanying him, became even more serious after hearing this - in fact, for these supporters of the Han Dynasty, the biggest problem in today's matter lies with Dong Cheng.

What they knew about the situation was this - this morning, several important officials took the initiative to come to General Wei's mansion to report that Wang Yun and three relatives were trying to murder General Wei, and Gongsun Xun immediately took action to capture him. As a result, the first Dong

Armed conflicts broke out from the beginning, which caused such a big mess.

On the other hand, Wang Yun took the initiative to find Liu Yu and others after things got out of control. He admitted that there was indeed a meeting, but it was only to discuss returning power to the emperor, and had no intention of assassination or armed rebellion. He really disagreed with Dong Cheng's actions.

clear.

In addition, Wang Yun also revealed the "truth" to leading figures among the ministers, such as Liu Yu, Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Shi Sunrui, Zhao Qian and others, that is, the three relatives did not actually participate in the rally.

, several of the leaders were actually ordered to bring false information to confuse the public. Their original intention was to make General Wei ignore the true intention of his prince's division to contact Liu Yan, Ma Teng, and Han Sui.

However, Wang Yun really didn't expect... Firstly, Gongsun Xun acted so decisively, and secondly, Dong Cheng actually had some 'extra' preparations.

This leads to a disaster!

To be honest, Liu Yu and others were willing to believe Wang Yun, especially those ministers who were the first ministers. The minister had already communicated the message to them in time, and now that the two sides were reflecting, there was no need to say more.

And believe it or not, the question now is, how to explain Dong Cheng’s matter?!

You can't tell the truth, can you?

To be honest, Gongsun Xun must have immediately beheaded those who were the leaders! Wang Yun couldn't dodge this attack! It would be better not to save him!

But if we don't tell the truth, how can we save Wang Yun and Wang Bin? There is really no explanation for what happened to Dong Cheng!

Just as they were about to arrest someone here, four to five hundred people from the other side pulled out with a roar, and then wearing iron armor and holding long soldiers, they went straight to the arsenal behind Beique Street. Thousands of people were engaged in armed conflict on Beique Street.

There were hundreds of casualties, including war horses, iron armor, spears, and crossbows... This caused a qualitative change in the nature of the matter. It was a so-called case before, but now it is a military coup.

No matter what happens to the former, you can use laws and principles to discuss and argue with Gongsun Xun, but the latter cannot be reasoned with.

Therefore, Gongsun Xun started talking about Dong Cheng, and then he couldn't help but laugh out of control. Instead, the ministers in the hall were directly dismissed - to be honest, they thought Gongsun Xun was laughing in anger!

"General Wei!" Liu Yu had no choice but to stand up and come to the hall to bow to the end.

After all, others could avoid this matter, but he, an important member of the clan who was the Taiwei in charge of the Shangshu affairs, could not avoid it.

And no matter what, even if the fear of Gongsun Xun in his heart has never disappeared, this nominal representative of the Han Dynasty will do his best to rescue Wang Yun and Wang Bin. This is not only because of his identity and Wang Bin, Wang Yun's

identity, and more importantly, he knows better than everyone else Gongsun Xun’s strength and determination, and he also knows better than everyone else the so-called weakness of the Han Dynasty... Until now, many people still don’t believe that they have always been reasonable and reasonable.

Gongsun Xun of the law will be really ruthless one day, and he will really do whatever he wants to the young emperor, and do whatever he wants to the Han Dynasty... But this kind of person definitely does not include Liu Yu.

It was precisely because he truly understood the possible cruel consequences that Liu Yu had to do his best to fight, fight gently, avoid fighting with violent means, and do everything possible to avoid or delay possible head-on conflicts.

Perhaps only in this way can we wait for Gongsun's self-destruction and hope to one day regain the glory of the Han Dynasty.

"Lieutenant." Gongsun Xun didn't raise his head. He held his forehead and smiled. He knew it was Liu Yu just by the voice. "Dong Cheng..."

"General Wei, I think this fact is the work of Dong Cheng alone!" Liu Yu stood up straight and spoke seriously. "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Chang'an has not seen weapons for five or six years, but Dong Cheng is hiding it at home.

Armor, equipment, and today he has the intention to seize the arsenal... If he says that he has no evil intentions, I am afraid no one will believe it! Therefore, his fate today is only his own fault! But the actions of Dong Cheng alone do not represent the right middle man (Wang Zhonglang)

Bin) and Dr. Taizhong (Wang Yun) were also involved. If General Wei doesn't believe it, just go and search their homes, and there will be absolutely nothing prohibited!"

"What the Lieutenant means..." Gongsun Xun finally raised his head, but still smiled. "These four people colluded openly and secretly, but only Dong Cheng harbored evil intentions, and the other three had nothing to do with Dong Cheng's actions today...

So what did the four of them collude with?"

"General Wei!" Liu Yuqing knew that if the matter was really pursued, there would only be more and more flaws, because there were Wang Yun, Wang Bin, and several ministers who had made reports to the prime minister, and the ministers were completely at odds with each other.

, at that time, Gongsun Xun would be given more interfaces, and he would simply point it out. "Now that things have happened, do you really not know what they are colluding with? It is nothing more than a group of relatives, a few close ministers of the emperor, and one who has lost power and wants to take advantage of the emperor.

It’s just a matter of asking for power when you get an opportunity to grow up... But when it comes to asking for power, some people stick to the rules, while some are just party members and are used to forming cliques secretly. Dong Cheng is the only one. Although he is from the Dong family in Hejian, he is

The style of Xiliang’s military leaders is the most extreme, and that’s why we’re in today’s troubles!”

"Lieutenant." Gongsun Xun finally stopped laughing. "Dong Cheng has his own conclusion. The prince's division and the general You Zhonglang's family are not armed. I believe it, but what can I say after the attack?"

Liu Yu paused for a moment and immediately turned pale. He was not the only one, but many of the officials in the audience also changed their colors.

"You see, this is the problem." Gongsun Xun stretched out his hand and said. "The only bows, arrows, swords, and a few pieces of armor in Fuwan's house are just old things, and the manpower is just ordinary servants. If you follow the steps

According to the statement, he should be like the two kings and had no intention of using military affairs to seek power. But while everyone was having dinner, I heard Zhang Wenyuan say that when he arrived at Fu Wan's mansion, the six sons of the Fu family were knowingly

After Dong Cheng's uprising failed, he still resisted with weapons and was openly hostile... What does this mean? You said that they colluded just to seek power, and Dong Cheng was the only one who wanted to use force, but I pointed to Fu Wan and said,

They all have the intention of dying together, but they are not ready yet, and the two kings saw that the matter was really uncontrollable, so they came to you to find a way out, is that okay?"

"General Wei... Wen Qi!" Liu Yu struggled hard, with a hint of pleading in his tone. "Perhaps it's just Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, or maybe Fu Wan has been proud of his in-laws for generations of emperors, and has a stronger personality..."

"Bo'an Gong!" When Gongsun Xun heard this, he stood up suddenly, left the table and walked down the hall. Only then did everyone notice that he didn't have a sword on him. "Now that things have reached this point, let's not play riddles anymore. I

This person is used to talking about everything, and you know... The current situation is that among the dead people, Dong Cheng is undefendable, and he brought it upon himself to bring disaster. Then the two kings are left, and you are full of possibilities,

Perhaps, it is nothing more than a strong argument."

Liu Yu was speechless for a moment.

"However, I don't want to call witnesses easily, so as not to ruin the reputation and identity of those who are responsible," Gongsun Xun walked past the other party and said relaxedly. "After all, when people come to me, I have to defend them.

For the sake of this, I don’t want to directly put the person in jail and end up with the name of being beaten into a crime... In other words, at this time, there is actually no evidence for the two kings, but it is the so-called suspicion of guilt, right? "

"That's right!" Liu Yu hurriedly agreed... Gongsun Xun didn't want to expose the leader, but it played into his hands.

"Gong Bo'an, I have come this far to admit him as a suspect." Gongsun Xun walked around and came to the other party, facing each other seriously. "But since ancient times, when it comes to plotting evil and fighting for the right to govern, it can be

Is there such a thing as a suspicion of innocence? Look, this is not sneaking around!"

Liu Yu was immediately forced into a corner again, and even behind him, Yang Biao, Huang Wan and others were silent... The situation was so hopeless, even if Gongsun Xun was willing to be reasonable and would not be punished without producing witnesses, but

Since ancient times, this kind of thing like confiscation of homes and extermination of clans, how can it be possible to avoid suspicion?

I always get implicated if I have the slightest doubt!

From the moment Dong Chengliang sent out his troops, reasoning was doomed to be unreasonable.

"But if you kill without evidence, you may not be able to convince people!" Liu Yu didn't know what to say, so he could only argue reluctantly. "General Wei, this matter is different from Xiliang. You go and annex Xiliang."

Liang is a matter of course. But what about Chang'an? If the sword is not stopped today, the chaos will not only be in Chang'an, but also in Guanzhong, and even the whole world! Counting from before the first year of Jian'an, Chang'an, Guanzhong,

The world has generally been at peace for several years, and everyone knows that this is all your fault. Do you have the heart to bring about the overall situation with your own hands, and then destroy it with your own hands?"

"Isn't it possible?" Gongsun Xun was silent for a moment, seemingly touched, but suddenly raised his voice and asked again. "I will destroy myself when I succeed, and I will destroy myself when I succeed! Besides, before the world, I will destroy myself.

The stability of China is a temporary situation and cannot last long."

"Now three parts of the power in the world belong to Cao and Liu, two parts to the other princes, one part to the emperor, and four parts to his subordinates!" There are countless ministers behind him, but Liu Yu doesn't want to say anything. "Among them, Cao and Liu are the only two.

They have been able to take care of the overall situation and support each other for two years. They are already two heroes. Can they continue to unite and control all the other princes in the world under their noses? I am afraid that their own alliance will not be able to sustain it in the future.

If you go down, then you can actually do whatever you want. But if you are so unscrupulous, how will people think of you in the future? And if you are so unscrupulous, how can you last long? General Wei, Wen Qi, once this case is opened, they will

Aren't you afraid that people who come after you will be responsible for what comes after? The Han Dynasty has been in the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, and you have to plan for future generations!"

There was no preface to this statement, but most of the ministers in the hall understood it, and then they either couldn't hide their sadness or were indignant... After all, most of the people who came at this time were full of heart.
To be continued...
