[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

Dong Zhuo asked suspiciously: "Qinghe Cui Song? But didn't you write another letter at that time, saying that Cui Song had a rift with you..."

After speaking, he suddenly reacted.

The person who advised him was He Wei, not Jiang Zun, so the attached letter should also be written by He Wei.

Jiang Zundao: "It's not me who has a gap with Cui Song, but He Xiaotu (He Wei)."

After that, he briefly talked about what happened at the Luoyang Wenhui, "... all the scholars who participated in the Wenhui at that time knew about it."

Dong Zhuo nodded.

It would make sense if He Wei had a feud with Choi Song.

He Wei knew that Cui Song knew Jiang Zun and had read his essays.Therefore, when He Wei pretended to be Jiang Zun and offered his advice, he intentionally attached such a private letter.

Because he falsely used Jiang Zun's name to offer advice, Cui Song, who had read Jiang Zun's policy theory, did not find anything wrong when he heard that it was a policy theory presented by "Jiang Shizi".At the same time, because he clearly stated that there was a rift between the two, Dong Zhuo unconsciously discounted the credibility of Cui Song's words, and would not put the two of them together, avoiding the possibility of He Wei's betrayal.

When the matter developed to this point, Dong Zhuo believed Jiang Zun almost completely, and remembered that when he asked Cui Song "how about this strategy", Cui Song was outspoken and thought it was "inappropriate", he couldn't help sighing.

"I just hate that I didn't listen to Cui Song's words at the time. I didn't expect this policy article to be really 'inappropriate'!"

Jiang Zun's eyes flashed: "Cui Song's talent is well-known all over the world, and his teacher loved him very much before he was alive. With his eyesight, he can naturally see the drawbacks of this policy article. If he could persuade the grand master at that time, analyze this policy article If there are advantages and disadvantages, it is enough to prevent the implementation of the strategy.”

Dong Zhuo frowned upon hearing this.

Jiang Zun's words reminded him: Since Cui Song knew that this strategy was inappropriate and out of date, why didn't he point out the pros and cons in person and persuade him not to implement it?

However, he only said the four words "I feel inappropriate", and he didn't say anything else, and he didn't explain it. How could he be convinced?

I don't know if he just said it was wrong but didn't explain the reason. Is it wise to protect himself? Is it knowing but not knowing why?

Dong Zhuo's eyes were clouded.

No matter which answer it is, it is enough to explain that Cui Song has no intention of planning for him and cannot be reused.

Cai Yong knew Dong Zhuo very well, when he heard Jiang Zun's words, he felt something was wrong, so he looked at him suspiciously, and defended Cui Song:

"I've met Cui Shizi, and I have a good impression of him. Cui Shizi is jade-clean, pine-like, and literary. I don't want to say the reason directly. It's probably because he thought that this policy was offered by Jiang Shizi himself. That's all for trapping you in injustice. However, he didn't want to deceive the grand master, so he just said "inappropriate" and didn't say anything else. Grand master, think about it, if Cui Song really deliberately concealed it, or had other intentions, and Why tell you that the policy article is inappropriate? Just pretend that you don’t know it, or keep flattering it, why bother to speak out that it is inappropriate and make the Grand Master unhappy?”

Dong Zhuo thought, yes.At that time, Cui Song could obviously go with the trend and go with the flow, and there was no need to sing the opposite tune. What good did it do him?

"Bo Chi is right."

Seeing this, Jiang Zun quickly changed his words and said, "Zun just had a momentary feeling, nothing else."

Lu Bu also spoke at this time: "I see that Cui Shizi is very eloquent. He is not like ordinary people, but he treats people with sincerity. Don't be wronged, father-in-law."

Dong Zhuo glared at Lv Bu upon hearing this.

Lu Bu thought unhappily, what's the matter, he seems to have said nothing wrong, right?

Dong Zhuo thought in his heart: This bastard still has the face to say it?Wasn't he the one who messed up what happened to Liu Yao?

Dong Zhuo raised his voice: "In that case, call Cui Song over and see what he says."

Jiang Zun seemed to say casually: "I heard that there is a staff member with the surname of the actor in the Grand Master's Mansion, who has been seriously ill recently..."

Dong Zhuo became suspicious and turned cold: "How do you know this?"

Jiang Zun paused: "Da Hong Lu Qing once told me about this matter."

When Dong Zhuo heard it, why did Liu Yao pay so much attention to the affairs of his mansion?

He also told his staff that this shameless bastard died unjustly.

Jiang Zun was unwilling to be lonely: "Dare to ask the Grand Master, is this really the case?

Dong Zhuo said unhappily, "So what?"

Jiang Zundao: "I know a man whose surname is Huan."

Dong Zhuo was very surprised: "You actually know the talents?"

Jiang Zundao: "It's just a relationship, a casual acquaintance. On the contrary, Cui Jiasonglang and Xi Zhicai have a deep friendship, and they are called brothers."

Cui Song?Dong Zhuo remembered that when Liu Yao recommended Cui Song to him last time, he had asked Xi Zhicai for advice, and Xi Zhicai said that he "didn't see anyone, so I shouldn't make rash judgments", and suddenly became suspicious again.

According to what Jiang Zun said, Xi Zhicai and Cui Song not only knew each other, but also had a deep friendship, so why did Xi Zhicai pretend not to know each other at that time?And that Cui Song, who has no loyalty to him.Today, the matter of Xun Gongda (Xun You) comes first, and the matter of Xi Zhicai comes later.According to the reply from the Imperial Physician, Xi Zhicai seems to be not very good, will Cui Song hold a grudge against him because of this?

Dong Zhuo thought that the reason why he was able to learn from Lu Bu, Xi Zhicai and others without too many scruples was because he had mastered their weaknesses.As long as you address their weaknesses and satisfy their "thirst", you can firmly control people.As for suppression and training?It was just a means to better control his subordinates.

Cui Song's situation is different.Firstly, Cui Song did not show his loyalty to him, and secondly, Dong Zhuo lacked understanding of him, did not know his "longing", let alone grasped his faults and weaknesses.Such a person, he can't use, and dare not use.

For this reason, Dong Zhuo stopped thinking about recruiting Cui Song.In his opinion, although Cui Song is quite famous, he is just a young scholar who has limited help and no threat to him, and some are icing on the cake. Cold treatment.Dong Zhuo originally wanted to call Cui Song over to confront Jiang Zun, but now he felt that it was unnecessary.

He also thought that Xi Zhicai's physical condition was getting worse day by day, and he might not have the energy to continue planning for him, so he had to find a new counselor to take Xi Zhicai's place.

Dong Zhuo immediately thought of the unknown counselor whom he had promoted some time ago.Thinking of his efforts to support his own reforms, thinking that he couldn't see the disadvantages of that policy theory, Dong Zhuo secretly hated: that useless thing, I thought he was a good jade that had been buried, but I didn't expect it to be an idiot!

As for Li Ru... Although Li Ru has a great talent, he is a bit cruel after all.Dong Zhuo himself is ruthless, and he is proud of his ruthlessness, but he doesn't want his subordinates to be people he doesn't recognize.For Li Ru, he was always on guard, and subconsciously wanted to find someone to check and balance with Li Ru.

Angry and worried, Dong Zhuo cast his gaze on Jiang Zun in front of him.

Whether it's his calm demeanor or his ability to be affirmed by Cai Yong, it can show that this person is not simple.

If it is used by him...

Thinking of this, his attitude towards Jiang Zun suddenly took a big turn, being kind and forthright.

"Let's not talk about these things... Jiang Shizi suffered such a misfortune today, and I feel very ashamed. Fortunately, Bo Jie arrived in time to avoid a big mistake. This is my luck. Come here! Serve a few good banquets, I want to personally suppress Jiang Shizi."

When Jiang Zun saw Dong Zhuo's appearance, he knew that his goal had been achieved, and he said calmly, "Thank you grand master, grand master told me to keep it."

The attendants had already quickly moved the table and served fine wine.

Dong Zhuo personally served Jiang Zun a glass of fine wine with a wine vessel, and his laughter almost shook his head: "Hahaha——Shouzhi, come, I'll toast you."

Cai Yong had already noticed something wrong with Jiang Zun's previous remarks, but he didn't have any real evidence, so he had no choice but to pretend he didn't know.But his impression of Jiang Zun declined all the way, and he began to doubt his character, and he no longer returned to the original reward.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo and Jiang Zun were talking together and getting along very happily, Cai Yong said that he was not feeling well, so he resigned from the banquet and left in a hurry.

Seeing that Cai Yong escaped from illness and only Dong Zhuo and Jiang Zun were left to come and go, Lu Bu felt quite bored.

He was about to resign when Dong Zhuo turned his head away, pointed at his nose and cursed:

"You rebellious son, what are you doing standing there! Hurry up and apologize to Shizi Jiang!"

Lu Bu's eyes turned cold: "What is wrong with Bu? Jiang Zun, how can he be worthy of Bu's apology?"

"Nizi, how dare you deny it! You first made provocative words, causing me to dispose of Shouzhi (Jiang Zun) before I knew the reason. I almost lost Yi Yin's talent, and then you chattered endlessly and relentlessly said goodbye to Shouzhi. When I didn't know your thoughts If you don’t admit your mistake quickly, with the uprightness of Shou Zhi, I will definitely not argue with you.”

Lu Bu's eyes widened in anger.

How could he not know what Dong Zhuo was thinking?Dong Zhuo wanted to win Jiang Zun to serve him, but he had no control over Lu Bu, but why should he use him as a raft to curry favor with a worthless common man?What do you think of him as Lu Bu?

Lu Bu was upset, and together with the resentment he had endured for a long time, he burst out together.

He said stubbornly:

"Bu is not at fault, there is no need to apologize to Xiaoer."

Dong Zhuo stepped forward and kicked over the food table prepared for Lu Bu:

"Nizi, if you don't even listen to my words, you can't do it!"

Lu Bu cast his sharp eyes on Dong Zhuo, scaring Dong Zhuo so much that he forgot to curse.

Lu Bu's voice sounded like a bell: "No - dare -, I think the adoptive father probably drank too much today, and he randomly accused others of crimes. Bu dared not contradict him, so he left first."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the hall with his head held high and his chest held high.

Dong Zhuo gasped: "This bastard——"

Jiang Zun, who had been watching with cold eyes, hurried forward at this moment: "It's all my fault, Grand Master, don't get angry, it will hurt you."

"It's not your fault!" Jiang Zun's persuasion made Dong Zhuo even more annoyed, "This bastard, relying on my favor, doesn't take me seriously—"

Jiang Zun stopped talking, looked at the open door, and smiled calmly.

He can send officials who despise him and ridicule him, and Xu You, who appears to praise his talent but despises his background, to prison; The noisy and disturbing He Wei was sent to hell; Xi Zhicai and Cui Song, who ignored his goodwill, became ill and cut off their official careers; naturally, this ignorant Lu Fengxian could be punished.

Lu Bu left angrily, not knowing what Jiang Zun was thinking, and poured all his anger on Dong Zhuo.

"Dong Zhuo, the dog thief, how dare you insult me ​​like this—"

At the same moment, Cui Song, who failed openly and honestly with Xi Zhicai, left the thatched cottage and walked to Guo Jia's side.
