At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 686. 690 Five is obedience!Or destruction!

The 26 people who knelt down behind Xun Yu and Zang Hong to oppose Guo Peng's kingship were taken away together.

Regardless of whether they pleaded guilty at the last moment, whether they wanted to admit their mistakes, or whether they were cowardly and wanted to repent, they have not been forgiven.

Xun You has done his best, Guo will not allow another betrayal.

The court immediately reduced its staff by one-fifth.

Bao Xin, who had been in a daze for a while and never followed Xun Yu's footsteps, was lucky to escape the catastrophe because he didn't react.

So Xun You looked at the silly Bao Xin, thought about it, and walked forward with a grim expression.

He looked at Bao Xin.

"Does Shaofu Bao still have any objections to Duke Wei's title as king? If so, you can say it now, and you are willing to have a good discussion with Shaofu Bao."

Bao Xin's lips moved, and suddenly he shuddered. Looking at Xun You who was standing in front of him with a gloomy face, he quickly stepped back several steps, his face full of horror, and he shook his head repeatedly.

It seems that Xun You is a murderous monster.

"No! No! I don't! I don't! Duke Wei...no...King Wei! His Royal Highness King Wei has done so much, unrivaled in the world, he should be named king...he should be named king!!"

Bao Xin suddenly knelt down facing the little emperor, and shouted loudly: "Chen Bao Xin, please remember Duke Wei's contribution to rebuilding the Han Dynasty, and don't take the White Horse Alliance as an obstacle, and make Duke Wei king! King of Wei!"

Bao Xin knelt down on the ground, his head covered in cold sweat, his face pale, and his body trembling uncontrollably.

The discerning court officials suddenly realized, and immediately followed behind, all kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please make Duke Wei king!"

Standing behind and leading the Wei army, Cao Chun was a little strange.

Have these guys practiced beforehand?

How can you say this kind of words in a uniform way, without any disharmony?

Xun You was not surprised.

He turned around, turned his back to the little emperor, and faced the officials.

"Your majesty is clear about what you mean. This matter itself is what your majesty said. Naturally, your majesty agrees. It is a blessing for the country that you all agree with this matter. It is very, very good."

There was an ugly smile on Xun You's face.

Then Xun You turned around, faced the little emperor, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is wise."

A group of courtiers behind Xun You shouted together: "Your Majesty is wise."

Shengming's voice echoed throughout the hall.

But no matter what the little emperor thought, he couldn't figure out what the relationship between himself and the word Shengming was.

Am I really holy?

Obviously I didn't do anything or say anything, how could I be so holy?

But it doesn't matter, as long as everyone thinks he is a saint, he is a saint.

Someone Guo has already decided.

After this turmoil, the Luoyang court and Guo Peng began to cooperate tacitly, and began the process of three words and three concessions.

Like the Luoyang court, Guo Peng also used three words and three concessions to launch a final attack on the enemies hidden inside the Wei official group, and the effect was remarkable.

While Guo Peng used anti-corruption operations to retaliate against political opponents, he also learned that Xun You had captured Xun Yu and Zang Hong in Luoyang, and that Bao Xin had been scared and fell ill.

Xun Yu, Zang Hong and 26 officials were arrested and put in death row, waiting to be dealt with. Bao Xin was lucky, but fell ill from fright.

Since that day, Bao Xin has not appeared in court, he was really sick from fright.

Cai Yong's luck was even better.

Originally, it was conceivable that Cai Yong was also a popular objection, but it turned out that Cai Yong fell ill two days before the grand court meeting and was lying on the hospital bed, unable to participate in any link of this event and all subsequent events .

Xun You and Zang Hong's words and deeds in the court hall were reported to Guo Peng by Xun You and the spies of Linziying. Guo Peng compared the two reports and found that Xun You did not lie or exaggerate, everything was true , so he is satisfied.

Xun You has already presented his nomination certificate, and the Xun family behind him admits to being cowardly. He has completely abandoned his inherent position, and desperately squeezed and rubbed against Guo, not wanting to be left behind.

Such a gesture made Guo very happy.

The Xun family admits to being cowardly, so the next step is the Chen family.

After thinking for a while, Guo Peng called Chen Ji over.

Guo Peng still respects this veteran who has acted together with Guo Peng since the Qingzhou governor's time.

Chen Ji is older than Cai Yong, and he is a well-deserved old man, so Guo Peng has always been very polite and graceful to Chen Ji.

Having said that, Guo has always been not very interested in Yingchuan scholars, even though his own ancestral home is also Yingchuan.

In the early days, there was only one person from Yingchuan who was not from the Guo family, Zaozhi, but he was not from the big Yingchuan family, that is, from a small gentry family.

Until the occasion of the situation, he became the governor of Qingzhou, and several Yingchuan scholars who had been expropriated from his father Guo Dan's mansion followed him, such as Du Xi and Xin Ping, who were not from first-class gentry.

Soon after, Guo Peng became the shepherd of Qingzhou, and at that time Chen Ji happened to be Prime Minister of Pingyuan, and the two had a superior-subordinate relationship, so Guo Peng had a connection with the Yingchuan clan.

However, Chen Ji is old and prestigious, and he is a celebrity in the country. Guo Peng is a well-deserved junior. Although he is Chen Ji's leader in name, how could Guo Peng, who is in his 20s, really treat Chen Ji who is 60 years old? What about the identity of the leader?

Not to mention ordering.

Neither salty nor light, be polite to each other, talk to each other when something happens, and elders help out, that's pretty much what it means.

It wasn't until Guo Peng participated in the campaign against Dong Lianjun that he became famous, and Xun Yu's family came to vote. This was the prelude to the Yingchuan scholars' refuge in Guo Peng.

It's just a prologue.

After that, until Guo Peng won Yanzhou and became the lord of the two states, only Xun Yu's family, Xun Yan, Xun Yue, and Yangzhai's Zhao Yan took refuge in Guo Peng. Before that, the scholars of Qingzhou and Yanzhou A large number of people have taken refuge in Guo Peng, and the Guo family has already taken refuge with the whole family.

Yingchuan scholars were at a disadvantage.

However, at this time, there are still many people from Yingchuan who are struggling in the Han Central Committee, such as the Zhong family and the Chen family, and some are on Yuan Shao's side, and their forces are scattered.

As a result, during the process of Guo Peng's pacification of Hebei, Jizhou scholars joined the Guo Peng Group on a large scale and seized positions with Yingchuan people. Overwhelmed the Yingchuan scholars.

It wasn't until the Guo Peng Group's wings were fully established and Yuan Shu was wiped out that the scholars in Yingchuan realized that Guo Peng's power was unstoppable, and it was too late to seek refuge in large numbers.

Because then what happened was that Guo Peng came to the throne and fell out of favor after Wei Gong and Xun Yu opposed it.

Xun Yu's political mistake was an extremely huge blow to Yingchuan scholars.

As the only person from the Yingchuan clan who has gained a firm foothold under Guo Peng's command besides Chen Ji, Xun Yu recommended many Yingchuan people to join the Guowei Group, and was the sponsor of many Yingchuan talents.

But Xun Yu himself made a political mistake and stood on the wrong team, opposing Guo Peng.

So he not only lost himself, but also caught up with the future of a group of Yingchuan rising stars.

As long as there is no rebellion, the disciples and old officials need to follow the leader to advance and retreat together. This is a political rule, so no matter whether they want to or not, no matter whether they dare or not, that group of Yingchuan talents jumped off together with Xun Yu The fire pit was wiped out by someone from Guo.

As a last resort, the Xun family had no choice but to recall Xun You, and asked Xun You to become an official of Guo Peng, to work hard for him, to work diligently and conscientiously for him, in order to get Guo Peng's understanding and re-establish the power of the Xun family.

Xun You did a good job and was indeed reused, gradually regaining some trust for Yingchuan scholars.

In the turmoil of Emperor Lixin, Xun You and Chen Ji controlled themselves and led the remaining Yingchuan scholars through the turmoil without any danger.

However, Xun You was then appointed to a special position.

Luo Yang, Minister of the Han Central Committee.

This position is very interesting.Say it's important, it is.

This position is the most important among the three independent seats in the Central Court of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although the position is not high, it has weight. The existence of this position was equivalent to being a prime minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Let’s say he is not important, it also depends on the emperor’s subordinates, under the powerful emperor’s hands, he is naturally powerful, under the weak emperor’s hands...

Then the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

But smart people can see at a glance that Guo Peng's arrangement is unusual.

Because Guo Peng put almost all the supporters of the Han faction in the Luoyang Central Committee, including the famous political prisoner Xun Yu, but Xun You was transferred to Shang Shuling at this time and served as the official in charge of the Luoyang Central Committee to assist Zaozhi in the construction of the Luoyang Central Committee. Luoyang New City.

Xun You is in charge, Xun Yu is in it, and there is a large number of pro-Han faction...

Guess what this means?

You Xun family, including the scholar families who are inseparable with the Xun family, do you want to stand on my side and walk into the future with me, or stay on the side of Han Emperor and be swept into history together with Han Emperor Garbage dump?

What is your attitude?

Let me see your attitude clearly, I want to see clearly!

Someone Guo poked the head of a Yingchuan scholar and sprayed saliva to his heart's content-I want you guys to explain clearly to me, which side are you guys standing on!This tm decides how tm will appoint you in the future!

Xun You understood Guo Peng's meaning almost immediately.

He also immediately understood that Guo Peng needed to see his attitude.

They were all too naive, thinking that Guo Peng would let Xun Yu go because of Xun You's joining, and let him be his political prisoner for the rest of his life.

They were too naive, underestimated Guo Peng's means and determination, underestimated Guo Peng's coldness and ruthlessness.

They felt that Guo Peng would at least not impose severe punishment on Xun Yu, and would not let Xun Yu die, but would always ignore him.

Guo will never do such a thing as not being able to punish a doctor.

Xun Yu is the object for offering sacrifices to the flag!

Someone Guo wants to tell everyone, me!Not Liu Xiu!

Guo Peng asked Xun You, the Xun family, or the entire Yingchuan scholar group to make a decision.

Use Xun Yu's life to tell him!

It is obedience!Or destruction!pick one of two!

Besides, Guo Peng does not accept any explanation!

It's the last moment, tell me, you elites of the Eastern Han Dynasty, tell me, which side do you stand on!

Xun You heard this silent warning, clearly and clearly.

Xun You shuddered because of it, was deeply afraid of it, and was restless because of it.

Guo Peng's determination, Guo Peng's coldness, Guo Peng's ruthlessness, and Guo Peng's ruthlessness.

He was really scared.

In the past few months, there was not a day when he could sleep peacefully, nor was there a day when he could be relaxed and happy.

Crouching under the power, Xun You trembled.

Because he knows that the day of decision will come, and his decision will affect the future and future of the entire Yingchuan scholar group.

Guo Peng should not be ambiguous, Guo Peng wants the most direct answer.

Answer him with Xun Yu's order.

Xun You, kill Xun Yu for me and prove it to me!

Therefore, when Guo Peng instructed Xun You to ask the emperor to make him King of Wei, Xun You knew that the last moment had come.

The inevitable and irrefutable came.

At the same time that he made this decision, Guo Peng's butcher's knife was out of its sheath, and the content of the decision would determine whether Guo Peng would wield the butcher's knife.

Xun Yu.

The future and prospects of Yingchuan scholars.

Put the two on the balance of interests for comparison.

No choice at all, is there?

Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Zhao Yun.

The three commanded [-] troops inside and out, sealing Luoyang's siege tightly.

To the outside world, it is to defend the imperial capital, but in fact, it is responsible for monitoring and guarding the political prisoners here, so as not to let one person, even one person, escape.

Xun You knew that Guo Peng would know what he did and what he said immediately. In Luoyang City, Guo Peng's eyeliner was everywhere.

This unprecedentedly powerful and terrifying monarch will carry out his will to every corner of the world, Luo Yang, don't even think about escaping.

The fetters of family affection and blood and the entanglement of interests, in the end, what choice will Xun You make?
