It's just that they are too idealistic, and their actions are extreme, and they end up messing up.

It is his real pursuit to evaluate the Party Gu incident, clarify its gains and losses, point out the gap between ideals and reality, and the serious consequences of acting extreme.

The name "Dang Gu Lie Biography" itself shows that his attitude is consistent with that of the scholar-officials.

On the contrary, Cai Yan was a little too sensitive.

Chapter 915 It's Not Necessary

Cai Yan got out of the tent, stood outside the tent for a while, collected himself, and then walked towards Yuan Gui.

Knowing that the young woman in front of her was actually Cai Yong's daughter, and also Lantai Lingshi, Yuan Gui was greatly surprised, but quietly put away her contempt.

Cai Yong's reputation is so great that it goes without saying.Cai Yan's own talent is obvious to all.

Yuan Yu may not agree with Cai Yan's point of view, but he has to admit that Cai Yan is more than enough to act as the commander of the Lantai.

If there is no accident, Cai Yan will become a model of talented women after Ban Zhao.

Knowing that Cai Yan was entrusted with the order to start the preparation work for the writing of "Biography of the Party Gu", Yuan Gui agreed without much consideration.

He is the son of Yuan Kang, and it is his duty to serve as a biographer for the party members.

Seeing him so excited, Cai Yan had to remind him.The "Dang Gu Lie Biography" that the court wants to write may be different from what you imagined, so you have to be mentally prepared.For specific examples, you may wish to refer to "Biography of Eunuchs".

There are more than [-] eunuchs in "Biographies of Eunuchs". Not only are the number of eunuchs much larger than the existing conventions in history books, but they also praise a lot of characters and morals while derogatory. The eunuchs in the office, such as Cai Lun, Cao Teng, and Lu Qiang.Even those who have no character, but have skills and have done some good deeds are recorded, like Song Dian and Bi Lan.

After the "Biography of Eunuchs" was published, this method of writing history caused a lot of controversy, and finally won the approval of most people.

One of the important reasons is that it is realistic, the records are all facts, and there is no fiction.

Of course, some people think that history books should punish the evil and promote the good, adhering to the sage's intention of keeping the spring and autumn, and should not speak well of scum like eunuchs.It's just that there are not many people in this category, and their voices are not loud enough to affect the final result.

Cai Yan felt that Yuan Gui might be this kind of person, so he explained it in advance so that he should not rush to make a decision.

Personally, she would prefer Yuan Gui to return to her hometown and live in seclusion, even if she gave up the name of Xiaolian.

The emperor is determined to forge ahead, and Yuan Yu is middle-aged and conservative in thinking, so there is a high probability that he will not be able to keep up with the pace.

It's just these words, she can't speak very clearly.

Taking Yuan Gui back to the big tent, someone arranged for Yuan Gui to live, and then gave Yuan Gui a task.

Read through "Biography of the Eunuch" and the latest bound edition of Dibao to grasp the thinking of the court.

Yuan Gui accepted, and went to his residence with the article in his arms.

Cai Yan, however, was restless, not even in the mood to read until Yuan Heng stepped down.

As soon as Yuan Heng entered the account, before he could put down the things in his hand, Cai Yan hurriedly asked, "Ah Heng, what's your plan? Why do you support writing "Biography of the Party Gu" now?"

Yuan Heng was already prepared and chuckled lightly. "My sister is worried that the emperor is eager for success, forcing Xun You to rebel, which will lead to setbacks in the war?"

Cai Yan didn't hide it, and nodded repeatedly.

Cai Yong died at the hands of Wang Yun. She didn't have much affection for the party members, but she didn't want to see the emperor's aggressive advances, so that the good situation was reversed, and even caused immeasurable losses.

"Do you think Xun You has this ability?"

"You don't think so?"

"Sister, you're not worried about Liu Bei, are you?"

Cai Yan was slightly stunned, and then said after a while: "Why should I worry about him? He is not a party member, he has restored his family status with military merits, and he is completely devoted to the emperor, how could he stand up for the party members."

"Then do you think that Xianyu Yin, Qu Yi and others will accept Xun You's order and become enemies of the court for the sake of party members?"

Cai Yan was stunned, and pondered: "You mean, even if Xun You wanted to complain for the party members, he was powerless?"

Yuan Heng put down the stationery in his hand, stretched his waist, and shook his neck again. "I don't think he even has the heart."

Cai Yan walked behind Yuan Heng and reached out to help her squeeze her shoulders. "How did you see that?"

"Xun You is not an ordinary party member. He is very pragmatic and understands the mistakes of party members. As long as the court does not make groundless accusations, he will not object. Party members have diseases, and the court treats them. It is too late for him to be happy , there is no objection."

Cai Yan nodded slightly. "Are you sure the emperor meant that?"

"Otherwise?" Yuan Heng turned his head, glanced at Cai Yan, and said with a smile, "Sister, don't forget that the late emperor has lived for more than ten years, and his biography has not yet been finalized. The great man ruled the world with filial piety, For the Son of Heaven, this can no longer be delayed. However, the second Danggu was during the reign of the late Emperor, and without clarifying the merits of the Danggu, how can we fairly evaluate the late Emperor and fulfill the filial piety of the Son of Heaven?"

Cai Yan's fingers stopped, and he was stunned for a moment before patting his forehead.

"Aheng, if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of this incident. I, Lantai Commander Shi, are too dereliction of duty, and I am ashamed of my trust in the emperor."

"Okay, don't blame yourself. The emperor knows your hard work, so he won't blame you." Yuan Heng thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, Simpi is back and is reporting to the emperor. If there is no accident , the army will soon besiege the city. Sister, make preparations in advance, so as not to be in a hurry again."

-

After Xin Pi finished talking about the meeting with Zhang He and Gao Lan in one breath, he picked up the water and took a sip.

Of course, he would not tell the emperor how he gained Zhang Xi's trust.

That was something both he and Zhang Yun wanted to keep in their hearts, and it was not enough for outsiders, especially not to tell the emperor.

Liu Xie didn't ask either.

He agreed with Simpi to meet Zhang Yun, and he knew roughly what the basis of their cooperation was, but it was not up to them to decide whether it would be successful or not.

If Zhang He and Gao Lan were willing to surrender, he would not refuse.

He can accept Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce to serve the court, and he can accept Zhang Yun and Gao Lan, but in different forms.

"When are you going to enter the city?"

"I plan to do it as soon as possible." Simpi said: "The autumn harvest is approaching, the army should besiege the city as soon as possible, lest the judge and Tian Feng harvest the immature wheat in advance, and a plan that hurts both sides."

Liu Xie was surprised. "There will be such a thing?"

"Yes, although the harvested wheat cannot be eaten by humans, it can be eaten by livestock, and it can also be used to clear the fields during wartime."

Liu Xie understood.

This is something he didn't expect, and he hasn't encountered it before.

This was also a very good idea.Unless it is a last resort, no one will use this kind of method that hurts both sides.

"Then you should leave as soon as possible." Liu Xie agreed with Simpi's plan, and asked again habitually. "Is there anything I can cooperate with?"

Simpi swallowed. "I do have a merciless request."

Liu Xie's eyes flickered slightly. "It's okay to be blunt."

"Yuan Xi refused to surrender at the beginning. Apart from his family being in Yecheng and being detained by the judge, he also had some worries. If I can't solve his worries when I enter the city this time, it may not be possible to say that he has turned to the light and confronted the judge. .Your Majesty, dare to ask Your Majesty to pardon his brother Yuan Tan."

Liu Xie looked at Simpi for a moment, and couldn't help laughing. "A pardon for Yuan Tan? Yuan Tan is innocent now, and he is guarding Yuan Benchu's tomb in Ruyang. Why should he be pardoned? Besides, even Yuan Benchu ​​is not a sinner. The moment he professed himself to the court, he was pardoned. "

Goodbye Simpi. "Your Majesty is magnanimous, and I deeply admire it. It's just that people's suspicions are hard to explain. If Your Majesty can regain his feelings and make Yuan Tan appear in front of the battle, and be His Majesty's forerunner, the doubts in the city will disappear, and maybe we can win without fighting."

Liu Xie smiled slightly. "You don't have to."

Chapter 916

Simpi was stunned and looked at Liu Xie, speechless for a moment.

He guessed that Liu Xie might refuse, but he didn't expect Liu Xie to refuse so directly.

Obviously, Liu Xie didn't intend to discuss this issue with him at all, nor did he want to hear his so-called explanation.

Even so, Simpi still said: "Your Majesty, if you can live hundreds of thousands of lives by seizing love from one person, why not do it?"

Liu Xie took away his smile and looked at Simpi quietly.

He has already made his words very clear, but Simpi still refuses to give up, which is a bit ignorant.

He understood Simpi's urgency to save his family, but he would not bargain with the judge to save Simpi's family.

Immediately, Simpi felt that the air temperature in the tent was a few degrees lower, and it was as if he was carrying a mountain on his shoulders, which made him unable to support himself and had to support the ground with his hands.

The Shangshu who was in charge of recording at the side also held his breath involuntarily.

"Yuan Shao lived in Hebei in seclusion. Using the wisdom of Ruying people and the strength of Jizhou people, he had the heart of disobedience. His pleadings were very clear. The court ignored the previous suspicions and accepted his pleadings. He was benevolent and righteous. The judge did not know good from bad. , to entangle a group of small people, hold a city and become an enemy of the world, is to seek death. Taking Ruying people as hostages is even more despicable. If you can persuade him to tie his hands, it is naturally the best. If not, With more than [-] troops of the imperial court here, how can the city not be broken, so it is necessary to rely on the power of Yuan Tan? Or, in your eyes, I, the emperor, is not as popular as Yuan Tan?"

Liu Xie's voice is not loud, and the speed of speech is not fast, but the tone is very heavy.

Simpi could only feel that thunder was ringing above his head one after another, especially the last sentence, which knocked him out of his wits.

The meaning of the Son of Heaven is very simple.

Yuan Shao has already proclaimed himself a minister, and the court has pardoned his previous crimes.The people of Ruying and Jizhou who followed him were also pardoned by the court.Now that the judge refuses to accept the imperial edict and refuses to surrender the city, it is because he does not know what is good and what is wrong, and the court has no reason to pardon him again.

As for you Ruying people, you have to figure out your own way, the imperial court has no possibility of haggling with the judges for them.

Wanting to take this opportunity to make Yuan Tan regain his love is even more impossible to even think about.The imperial court has 10,000+ troops here, and there is no need for the cooperation of Yuan Xi and others in the city.

By saying that, do you think I am inferior to Yuan Tan?

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention." Xin Pi kowtowed repeatedly, and after only two kowtows, his forehead was kowtowed, and blood flowed all over his face.

Liu Xie snorted, flicked his sleeves, and never looked at Simpi again.

Xinpi's liver and gallbladder were torn, and he didn't dare to say a word, so he quit the big tent obediently.

The emperor has already moved to kill, and if he continues, not only will he not be able to make the emperor agree to his request, but it may implicate Yuan Tan.

After leaving the tent, the sun was shining brightly and scorching hot, but Simpi still felt chills all over his body, and shivered several times in succession.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly.After repeating it several times, I finally regained my composure.

It's just that the heart is still beating hard.

The emperor's murderous aura was more intimidating than he had imagined.

It's just... what about the family in the city?

Pang Tong walked over and passed Xin Pi.When I looked up, I saw that Simpi's face was covered with blood, and I couldn't help being taken aback.He stopped, took two steps back, faced Simpi, and pointed to Simpi's face.

Xin Pi was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to wipe it, only to realize that his forehead was cut and his face was bleeding, so he quickly raised his hand to wipe it.It's just that his forehead was still bleeding, and the more he wiped, the more his face was smeared. It looked very hideous, and even a few drops were stained on the skirt of his clothes.

Seeing this, Pang Tong couldn't help smiling, and stretched out his hand to signal Xin Pi to follow him.

Xinpi was also very helpless, so he had to thank him with his hand, and followed Pang Tong to the big tent beside him.

Pang Tong fetched water and a cloth towel, let Simpi wash his face, poured another cup of herbal tea, and handed it to Simpi.

Holding the cup, Xin Pi took a sip of tea and slowly calmed down.He glanced at Pang Tong, and suddenly his heart moved.

Pang Tong is a confidant of the emperor, comparable to Zhuge Liang, and extremely intelligent.He might be able to help himself with an idea.

"Shiyuan, how long have you been with the emperor?"

Pang Tong pointed to the number. "It will be two years in a few days."

"Your year is Geng?"

"Xiping was born in six years, and today there are two in twenty."

Simpi was envious. "In the year of weak crown, I can serve the emperor around. Mingjun and virtuous ministers are like fish in water. How lucky. Unlike me, what I met was not human. Now my family is in the hands of enemies. I want to save them but can't get them. I suffer day and night, and my heart is broken."

Pang Tong blinked. "Xin Jun, you...are you talking about the family members in Yecheng?"

"Exactly." Simpi sighed. "Yingchuan is a battleground for military strategists. At the time when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, we flocked to Hebei in a panic and flocked to Hebei, hoping that Gou would die in troubled times. Who would have thought that we would end up in this situation."

Pang Tong suddenly laughed. "Are you worried that the trial will kill your family? It shouldn't be."

Simpi arched his hands. "If Shiyuan has a clever plan to save him, Pi will be grateful."

Pang Tong sat up straight and smiled slightly. "Xin Jun, if you care about it, you will be confused. You take the matter too seriously. In my opinion, the matter is far less serious than you think."

Xin Pi turned over and was about to bow down, but Pang Tong hurriedly supported him and prevented him from bowing down.

"Xin Jun, it doesn't have to be like this."

"Shiyuan, there are not only dozens of my Xin family in the city, but also nearly a hundred relatives and friends. How can I not be anxious. My son is only 13 years old and my daughter is only ten years old. If I am killed, I will definitely not be able to live alone. Shi Yuanruo If you can teach me something, the Xin family of Yingchuan will impress you and never forget it for generations to come."

Pang Tong sighed: "Mr. Xin, what you are worried about is not the trial match? The trial match is indeed crazy, but how many people are as crazy as him?"

Simpi was startled, then suddenly realized, nodding repeatedly. "That's right, there are very few people as crazy as him."

"That's right. The emperor's army is besieging the city. Although the battle has not yet started, anyone with a little common sense knows that Yecheng will be destroyed. The reason why the city is not surrendered is nothing more than thinking that the army is spending thousands of dollars every day. The imperial court must collect food from the Central Plains. The aristocratic family can’t bear it. If today’s son implements Dutian in Jizhou and feeds himself with the grain of Jizhou, there is no need to transfer from the Central Plains, and it is impossible for Yecheng to wait for reinforcements. Except for surrender, death is undoubtedly, it’s just a matter of time.”

Pang Tong smiled. "Since that's the case, how many people are willing to go crazy with the judge?"

Xinpi was delighted and nodded repeatedly.

He understood what Pang Tong meant.
