Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

Chapter 177 Liu Qi's Assassination

Even if Lu Xun hadn't reached the championship, Yan Qing couldn't underestimate his opinion, but after careful consideration, he decided to accept it.

Because the matter is so important, it is impossible for him to make the decision alone. After letting Lu Xun keep silent about it, he will bring this good policy to the conference hall to discuss with his staff.

And the strategies they come up with are mostly similar.

After reaching a consensus, Yan Qing ordered Man Chong to lead the army to charge the family members of the officials directly involved in the city with the crime of plotting to assassinate His Majesty, and quickly arrested and imprisoned them.

Yan Qing was very relieved of this stern and selfless man who enforced severe punishments and strict laws.

Man Chong was recommended by Liu Ye, and it was the first time he was entrusted with an important task. He was still doing his best job of extorting confessions by torture.

And these pampered people suddenly lost their backbone and were imprisoned in a damp and cold prison. They were already on the verge of collapse, and they were tortured day and night by the ruthless Man Chong, and soon they couldn't bear to 'confess'.

After Man Chong got the confession he wanted, he kept his promise and stopped torturing them: if he confessed his crime today, he would simply push him to the execution ground and behead him tomorrow, so as to give him a real relief.

For a moment, mourning was everywhere in Xucheng, and blood flowed like a river.

And the people who witnessed those hideous corpses with swords being carried out of the palace thought they knew the truth, and they believed it even more that Lu Bu, who had always loved the people like his own son, announced that these people were all traitors. Qing's punishment was so vigorous and vigorous, not only did he feel no fear, but everyone clapped their hands and applauded loudly.

This thunderous method that caused a storm in the city also made those ministers and ministers who had heard a little about the belt edict, who only felt hopeless, and who did not participate in this matter because they cared about the lives of their families, fully understand the situation.

The feeling of living under the fence is not just that they have lost real power in their hands, but that the other party can easily cut down their food and clothing at any time, and it is not as simple as being seen by outsiders.

But even the head on the item was sent.

Immediately, he was anxious, his heart was shaken, and everyone kept silent, for fear that Lu Bu would take revenge, and he would even liquidate them with his small belly.

They only thought that Yan Qing's cruelty was entirely at the behest of his master, and all their hatred and anger were directed at Lu Bu. Unexpectedly, the way they dealt with these people was actually the result of a tutor who had just been persuaded to let go of him secretly. Work began, and the hands of the struggling young man were intensively reviewing for the upcoming third imperial examination.

Yan Qing didn't expect that he had inadvertently stepped in, making them consciously become monkeys in killing chickens and monkeys. Not only did the memorials to impeach Lu Bu, Yanqing, Guo Jia, Jiaxu and others disappear, but they either resigned from office or handed over their posts cheekily. Go to Yanqing Mansion for the worship post.

He was not discouraged when he was rejected, and ran around, begging those who could talk to Yan Qing, and try every means to send them the treasures of his family, just wanting him to show his noble hands and let their family go when they settle accounts after autumn.

Yan Qing dared to kill them all so arrogantly, but it was not all the confidence and authority given to him by Lu Bu, but the confidence he earned from years of painstaking management.

How could he not know that Yang Biao is the majestic patriarch of the Zanying family, a respected celebrity and refined scholar.

But so what?

Indeed, when Cao Cao in the Romance went out to trouble Tao Qian with all his strength, he was hated by Chen Gongji for killing the celebrity Chen Liu, and he succeeded in inciting a rebellion behind his back while he was out. The point of homelessness.

So some people said that the reason why Cao Cao suffered such setbacks was that he violated the bottom line of the scholar class and made them worry, so they should act first.

Yan Qing was not worried that Lu Bu would end up in a situation that would be disliked by the people because he took tough measures against these ministers and ministers who wanted to murder them.

You know, Cao Cao later borrowed Huang Zu's knife to kill Mi Heng who spoke disrespectfully to him and ridiculed him many times, and later implicated Kong Rong's family who criticized him a lot, but he was still intact, and his rule was safe and sound. .

Could it be that the reputation of the famous descendants of Confucius is not as good as that of a local celebrity?

Obviously not.

It was Cao Cao who killed Kong Rong, and his control over the territory has been greatly enhanced, which is beyond comparison in the past.Because the other gentry in the area understood his temperament, they didn't worry that he would kill others after killing Kong Rong who had offended him many times.

As far as Lu Bu is concerned today, regardless of Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou, he singles out Yu and Yang. His ruling power in these two states is unshakable. Completely loyal to him.

It can be said that unless the main envoy who fell out with Lu Bu and raised the banner of rebellion was Yan Qing, who is more popular with the people and has great control in the army, otherwise, some people who are willing to share the same hatred with the Yang family It is absolutely impossible for the family to shake him in the slightest.

Yan Qing sees this clearly, which is why he is so ruthless.

Don't say that these ministers are only loyal to His Majesty, but they are also quite influential. Before they want to move Liu Xie, they have to cut off the help.

Just saying that they are trying to murder themselves and Lu Bu is not to be tolerated.

If even the person who wants to die can be easily let go, and only a little bit of fur is hurt, then such a light price will fall into the eyes of others, and it will only make those fools who are still waiting to have nothing to fear from now on. Come.

They had to be clearly aware that once Lü Bu got really angry, it would be a horror they couldn't bear.

When Yan Qing commanded the soldiers and horses to carry out the bloodbath against the rebels without blinking an eye, Liu Biao also heard about it.

On the spot, he was stunned by the sudden decision to kill this well-mannered and refined celebrity, who was clearly looking at him like jade, and he was speechless for a long time.

With so many high-ranking and prominent ministers, he was so ruthless in his strikes, without any scruples, never missed a single one, and killed as soon as he said it!

Not to mention other things, let's just talk about the leader, Taiwei Yang Biao, who was born in the prosperous Hongnong Yang family, which is a family that can be compared with the four generations and three princes of the Runan Yuan family!Are you not afraid of revenge at all?

For Liu Biao, who relied on the support of the local tycoons to secure his position as the governor of Jingzhou step by step, it was unbelievable to the extreme.

It can be seen how much Lv Bu relied on Yan Qing, and how amazing Lv Bu's power is. I am afraid that he has already overwhelmed the sky with one hand, so that the people will completely trust and the courtiers will be at a loss.

Liu Biao was filled with emotions, he looked again at the streets under martial law, and finally went back to the house worried, and the charming stepwife Cai immediately surrounded him, asking questions.

Liu Biao was absent-mindedly prevaricating, but she was very sensitive in this regard, how could he not know that he was prevaricating?Unwilling to be reconciled, he continued to sit on the sidelines and pester him, and then turned out Liu Bei, the current number one enemy, and scolded him severely.

Dao Liu Bei saw that the situation was not good, he patronized himself and left without saying goodbye, but he was ungrateful, and he didn't expect to remind them who had greatly favored him, it was really wolf-hearted.

As Liu Biao listened, he felt that Cai's slander against Liu Bei seemed to have some truth.

That day, although he found out that Liu Bei left without saying goodbye with his two righteous brothers, he was very unhappy, but he didn't bother to care about this rude person who just got a little holy family and learned to be arrogant, so he didn't say anything.

But within a few days, there was an extremely tragic turmoil in the palace. Looking at the bloody corpses with swords, stripped of the government and carried out of the palace, they were randomly discarded at the mass graves, No matter how dull Liu Biao was, he had a very bad premonition.

If what he expected is correct, Liu Bei must be involved.

Knowing that most of them have to doubt themselves, they dare not leave the mansion all day long, and dare not propose to return to Jingzhou at this sensitive moment.

I'm afraid that the reckless man will be red-eyed and want to make use of the problem to do harm to him.

And expecting the five hundred soldiers who came here with him to protect him is tantamount to wishful thinking.

I'm afraid Lu Bu alone can't stop him.

If Yan Qing insisted on arresting him and imprisoning him, tortured him, and blaming him for Liu Bei's absconding, he would have no ability to resist at all.

Liu Biao waited in fear for a long time, but he did not wait for the vicious soldiers to break into the door. Instead, Lu Bu strode in with a strong bloody aura, politely expressing that His Majesty mistrusted his ministers and was greatly frightened this time. , I am afraid that he will not be able to preside over the government for a long time. He needs to act as a substitute, and the government is busy, so it is inconvenient to keep him.

Even though Lu Bu was full of murderous intent, the tone of his words was serious.

Liu Biao couldn't tell that this was a see-off order that he had been looking forward to day and night, and he immediately accepted it as if he had been pardoned, and he didn't even want to wait until tomorrow to set off. After packing my luggage, I galloped all the way, leaving the city and going back to Jingzhou.

The reasons Lu Bu gave were not all excuses.

Since Liu Xie was in the palace that day, he saw with his own eyes how Yan Qing drove the magical arrows while talking and laughing, killing all the hundreds of people present in an instant. I don't even dare to feel disappointed: Since I am a mortal flesh and bone, how can I be an enemy of heaven and man?

But it is obvious that he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, with the blood of a real dragon!

Why is it Lu Bu, the martial artist who bullied and committed crimes, who is assisted by such immortals, instead of him, the real dragon emperor who should be expected by everyone?

Could it be that the ballads sung by the folks are true or not? Is this great Han Guozuo, the royal family's vitality, really on the verge of exhaustion...

Just such a blow made Liu Xie feel disheartened after fighting with both sides, but Yan Qing made him worse by coming back and forth, and Xing recently gave a few words of warning.

Liu Xie was worried that Yan Qing might know everything, and his life would be lost. He would be sick that day, with a persistent high fever, lingering on the sick bed, and Empress Fu would take care of him in tears.

The great power in the court has now completely fallen into Lu Bu's hands, and no one dares to criticize him anymore.

The purge of winners and losers caused a lot of uproar, and it didn't stop because of the compromises and concessions of the ministers, but it didn't involve too much, forcing the dog to jump over the wall.

It took ten days and a half months before it gradually faded away.

When the execution ground had accumulated an unknown number of layers of dried blood, it had just been washed away by a timely heavy rain, and the curtain of the third exam was officially opened.

Students from several other states hurriedly shifted all their energies from paying attention to this big news, and turned back to serious and serious matters that are really related to themselves.

Yan Qing, who fulfilled her wish of "sending her baby son to the college entrance examination room in person" after touching the top of the head of the governor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, was very satisfied. The people around her suppressed their excitement and admiration, and tried their best to restrain their attention. During the ceremony, he asked with a smile, "Is Yi'er really ready?"

Lu Xunxian was infected by his smile, and involuntarily burst into a small arc of laughter, raised his pointed chin, and stared at Yan Qing with sparkling black eyes. Instead, he pursed his lips, and said confidently: "Although the child is not talented, he will go all out, and he will definitely not disgrace his father's reputation."

These very arrogant words naturally aroused the other candidates who had been peeking at the famous Yan Dahonglu, and glared at him. Whether it was this clear statement or his proud appearance, Yan Qing liked it very much .

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many outsiders, he couldn't bear it anymore, and started to touch it.

"You don't need to think too much, just play well."

Yan Qing said with a smile, at the moment, he could only regretfully suppress this impulse, turned his outstretched hand to Lu Xun to straighten the wrinkle-free and dusty robe, and helped stabilize the book bag , Fang got up and said: "The door is about to open, do you want to be the first to enter?"

Lu Xun's eyes lightly glanced at Zhuge Liang who was not far away, accompanied by his brother Zhuge Jin who failed in the second test, and was forced to listen to his chatter.

His old opponent, who had been facing each other for a long time, also noticed his gaze, and immediately put on a fake high face, and also squinted over, as if dismissing it.

Lu Xun slightly raised the corners of his mouth, bending out a faint sarcasm.

Yan Qing didn't notice the exchange of eyes between the two, but thought that Lu Xun was in a daze, that he was either too nervous or didn't sleep well last night.He couldn't help frowning: "Is Yi'er feeling unwell?"

Lu Xun turned around instantly, and apologized: "No, I just saw my classmate just now..."

Yan Qing was slightly surprised, and turned around to see that Zhuge Jin just happened to pull Zhuge Liang to change places, so he couldn't find anyone. He thought it was one of the adult candidates: "Then you want to go over and say hello to him?"

Lu Xun said without hesitation: "No, it's not too late to go after the exam."

How precious is the good time to be able to stay with my father for a while, let alone Zhuge Liang, whom he hates, even if he is a good friend with him, he must not be disturbed.

Although Yan Qing couldn't see Lu Xun's little thoughts, he could see that he liked his company very much, so he smiled and quietly held his hand hidden in his sleeve.

... Sure enough, the white jade-like earlobe turned fiery red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yan Qing didn't plan to use any privileges, even if he really wanted to accompany him in, he didn't really give too much. Just like other candidates' book boys and family members, he stopped behind this door and watched Lu Xun's back with a smile.

At first, Lu Xun looked back at every step, but gradually he was overwhelmed by the other people coming in behind him.

All of them who were able to enter the third exam were truly well-educated, which meant that they were much older than Lu Xun in terms of age.

Yan Qing had obtained the candidate's information, and knew that although Lu Xun was not the youngest among all the reference students, he was definitely the youngest among those who persisted until the third round without being screened out.

In fact, he didn't expect Lu Xun to come out on top. With Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, the elder brothers of Sima's family, Pang Tong and other bright stars coming off the stage together, and at such a young age, he could enter the palace examination and get One ranking is already very eye-catching.

Of course, even if Lu Xun performed abnormally and fell off the horse in the third game, he would not be half disappointed.

When Yan Qing was on the way to the conference hall, he silently made two plans: one is how to celebrate success so that it is not too much, and the other is how to comfort him in case of failure so that it is effective.

"Shigemitsu, I have an urgent letter for you."

As soon as Yan Qing arrived, he just saved some effort for Guo Jia who was about to carry it for him.

"Oh?" Yan Qing took it, and opened the letter while walking towards the inner hall, and asked, "Where did you send it from?"

Guo Jia didn't look around, just broke the palm of his hand, and lightly wrote the word "Jing".

Yan Qing smiled knowingly: since it is Jingzhou, then it is Ma Zhong's letter.

Because the contents of the letter were all encrypted, and the characters were small and similar in shape, it was easy to be confused. Only Yan Qing could remember the decryption method clearly, and there was no need to compare them.

So there is no need to shy away from the soldiers outside, and unfold the letter before entering the inner hall.

Compared with the long-winded explanation last time, Ma Zhong's report this time is very simple and clear.

——The first return of Biao, Qi is seriously injured, and the couple is divorced.

A young master who is not favored naturally does not have the protection of powerful warriors like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and even his personal bodyguards can be counted on one hand, and his ostentation is much worse than that of his younger brother.

After being followed secretly by Ma Zhong for a long time, he didn't realize it.

If it weren't for Ma Zhongyi not really taking his life, he wouldn't have been seriously injured and comatose.

Liu Biao was frightened for a long time, and he traveled day and night. He had just been recuperating in the safety of the mansion for a few days, when he found out that Liu Qi's life was in danger, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Although he dotes on the charming and charming stepmother Cai, who comes from a famous family, and even has an elder brother who holds an important position in the army, he is also disgusted by the pillow wind. No confusion.

Tiger poison doesn't eat children, let alone Liu Jingzhou, who is famous for his gentleness and courtesy?

Liu Biao suddenly felt a bit of disgust towards the Cai family who refused to let go of even his lost blood and insisted on killing them all.

This is not just arrogance because of being favored, I am afraid it is more, it is because of the power of his elder brother and the clan that he dares to do whatever he wants.

Since Mrs. Cai married Liu Biao, she has used many means to monopolize her favor all the way, which can be said to be smooth sailing.

Even in the matter of establishing an heir, Liu Biao didn't just turn a blind eye to her involvement, but also rather favored her.

This time, he was inexplicably charged with an innocent crime, and was scolded and treated coldly, but Liu Qi benefited from it, so he couldn't be reconciled.

After thinking about it, she saw that the one who benefited the most was Liu Qi himself, who regained his father's care through this incident, and insisted that he had resorted to a trick to provoke the relationship between her and Liu Biao, so as to create a relationship between her son and her son. Win the fight.

But she often fanned the flames, spread rumors and made troubles, and was known as domineering and coquettish, and no one could hide her targeting of Liu Qi.Now that he is calling for injustice, and that Liu Qi is not hesitating to gamble with his life to cheat, who will believe it?

Even her own elder brother Cai Mao thought that she ordered her subordinates to do it, and even euphemistically blamed her for either not doing anything more, or cutting the grass and roots, instead of leaving Liu Qi lying on the sickbed dying, arousing Liu Biao and him. The love between father and son.

Mrs. Cai had tasted the unbearable pain, so she could only hold off on biting Liu Qi, and tried her best to win back her husband's favor first, and then make other plans.

The undercurrent in Jingzhou is raging, and everyone has different thoughts, but no one suspects that the culprit who caused Liu Qi's assassination and serious injury was actually Lu Bu who had just given Liu Biao a favor, not Mrs. Cai who was used to seeing Liu Qi as a thorn in her side.

But the strategy Yan Qing and the others set up is not only that.

Guo Jia didn't go up to look - he was a little shorter than Yan Qing, if he wanted to see clearly, it was not enough to lift his head up, he had to stand on tiptoes, and Yan Qing would definitely make a joke of him.

He only looked lazily at the change of expression on Yan Qing's face, smiled lightly for a while, and said in a firm tone: "It seems that the matter is over."

Yan Qing was seen through by him, so he didn't try to quibble, but asked in surprise: "Am I acting so obvious?"

Guo Jia was clearly proud, but he still pretended to be modest and said: "Although Jia's ability to observe colors is perfect, he has achieved a little success. It is more than enough for Chong Guang."

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, and jokingly said: "Oh? Can you let Qing have a try?"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "What's so difficult? Come on!"

Yan Qing suppressed a smile in his heart, but deliberately made his eyes look as calm as water, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at him steadily.

Guo Jia looked at him with great interest at first, but his complexion slowly darkened little by little.

He snatched the letter for the last time, flicked his sleeves angrily, and stepped into the inner hall without saying a word.

Yan Qing was thoughtful.

It turns out that Guo Jia is not bragging, but can really see through his mind?

What he thought just now was that he could take advantage of his height and look down on his bad friend from this angle, making him seem petite and cute...

Fortunately, it was not Lu Bu who had this ability.
