The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Xun You and Cheng Jia read Wang Fen's letter, and they looked at each other in shock.

Cheng Jia said: "In the matter of abolishing the establishment, Yi and Huo were in trouble, Yi Yin was in charge of the ministers, Huo Guang was entrusted with the responsibility of the state, and he was also an important minister of the state, respected by the government and the people. Huo Zhiwei wants to use the power of just a few people to try to abolish the emperor who has been in the throne for more than 20 years, and this will be no success! Fang Bo is famous in the world, but how can he do such a ridiculous thing?" A look of disbelief.

Xun You's temperament is more kind than Cheng Jia. No matter what, Wang Fen is also a senior and leader of the party members and scholars. Although he, like Cheng Jia, disagrees with the content proposed in Wang Fen's letter, he is also unwilling to criticize Wang Fen. , so he just smiled wryly.

Having said that, it is no wonder that Cheng Jia unceremoniously criticized Wang Fen as "ridiculous".

In the letter, Wang Fen put forward an "impossible" proposal to Xun Zhen. He wanted to abolish today's son and replace Hefei Marquis as emperor. Because he knew that Xun Zhen and the eunuchs would not deal with him, he wanted to pull Xun Zhen. Join in. Wang Fen is one of the eight chefs and is famous all over the world. Such a senior and leader of a party member made such an unreliable proposal. It is no wonder that Cheng Jia criticized and Xun You smiled bitterly.

In fact, what Xun Zhen didn't know was that he was not the first person Wang Fen wrote to.

As early as a few months ago, when Cao Cao was still "recovering" at home, and before he went to Luoyang to be the captain of the Dianjun in the eighth captain of the West Garden, Wang Fen wrote Cao Cao a letter with almost the same content.

Cao Cao's reaction was the same as that of Xun Zhen, Cheng Jia, and Xun You. It was surprising, funny, and a little bit unbelievable. Abolishing the emperor is not easy even for important state officials such as Yi Yin and Huo Guang. What is Wang Fen? It is too astounding for a provincial governor of 600 stone, who wants no people and no soldiers, to dare to imitate Yi Yin and Huo Guang.

Who is Cao Cao? Of course he refused to accompany him to die, but Wang Fen was very famous, and there was Xu You among the people involved in this matter. Xu You and Cao Cao were old friends who had known each other for a long time.——Why Wang Fen wrote letters To Cao Cao, to draw Cao Cao into the team, among them Xu You's "recommendation", therefore, Cao Cao could not "see death without saving", so he wrote a long letter back to Wang Fen very sincerely, in the letter. Zhong pointed out to Wang Fen: You are not as good as Yi Yin and Huo Guang, you cannot do this.

To say that Cao Cao is enough friends, these officials discuss the matter of abolishing the emperor in private. Once exposed, it will be a serious crime of looting the family and annihilating the family. If someone else does not report Wang Fen, he will immediately distance himself from Wang Fen, let alone After replying to the letter, I am afraid that even the friendship will be cut off from now on, so as not to be implicated, but Cao Cao took such a big risk and sent a letter to Wang Fen, which is indeed very "loyal".

However, Wang Fen is a sparse and unarmed person. From the previous battle between Xun Zhen and Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Feiyan, it can be seen that Wang Fen has no talent. The reason why he is "famous in the world" is not because of his own. Ability, but because his family has money, he can "deliver wealth through righteousness", the so-called "eight chefs" of the party, this "cook" originally means "being able to save people with money", in other words, Wang Fen is actually a scholar The wealthy man among the people is not as talented as Du Shang and Zhang Miao, who are also among the "eight chefs", let alone the "Eight Jun" of the party. Although it is good, it can be seen that knowledge and ability are limited. Therefore, after receiving Cao Cao's reply, Wang Fen still did not give up.

Tao Qiuhong was a famous scholar in the plains. In his early years, he was as famous as Kong Rong and Chen Liubian, and he was also called handsome. The reason why Wang Fen wrote to him after being rejected by Cao Cao was also recommended by Xu You. Xu You has Qingxia. He had a lot of friends and had a good relationship with Tao Qiuhong, and Tao Qiuhong and Xiang Kai were from the same county, and Xiang Kai knew him well, so Wang Fen wanted to bring him into the party.

——Xiang Kai is a well-known warlock today, a native of Yi Pingyuan. This time Wang Fen decided to abolish the emperor because of a word from Xiang Kai. In the early years, when Chen Fan, one of the "Three Kings" of the party, was the Taiwei, he named Xiangkai as "Fangzheng". Although Xiangkai did not respond, he could be regarded as having a "teacher-student" friendship with Chen Fan, so he had a relationship with Chen Fan. His son, Chen Yi, was in close contact with each other. The two of them came to Jizhou together a few months ago and learned Wang Fen. During the conversation at the banquet, Xiang Kai said, "Those who are unfavorable to the **** in the sky will be destroyed by the Huangmen and the permanent servants." Chen Yi and Wang Fen were overjoyed when they heard the words, and Wang Fen said: "If so, Fen is willing to expel them." So they made a conspiracy with Xu You and others, which was the plan.

Although Tao Qiuhong is famous, his knowledge is far inferior to Cao Cao. After receiving Wang Fen's letter, he plans to leave for Jizhou to join the team. Fortunately, Wang Fen also wrote a letter to Hua Xin at the same time. The county of Qiming immediately stopped Tao Qiuhong and said to Tao Qiuhong: "The matter of abolishing the establishment is difficult for Yi and Huo, and Wang Fen's temperament is sparse and unarmed. If this is not achieved, it will bring disaster to the family, you and I cannot go! "Tao Qiuhong listened to Hua Xin's dissuasion, so he did not come to Jizhou.

It was quite a coincidence that the three Wang Fen contacted, except Tao Qiuhong, Cao Cao and Hua Xin, were all acquaintances of Xun Zhen. Needless to say, Cao Cao had frequent correspondence with Xun Zhen, and although Hua Xin only had a few encounters with Xun Zhen in Yingchuan in his early years, Hua Xin went to Yingchuan to teach Chen Yao at that time, so he later became Xun Zhen. After their chastity rose, the two of them exchanged letters from time to time.

Wang Fen wrote these letters, but none of Cao Cao, Tao Qiuhong, and Hua Xin were willing to join the gang, so he thought of Xun Zhen.

Xunzhen knew that the soldiers were good at fighting, and had thousands of elite soldiers and loyal followers. He used Huangfu Song to beg Zhang Jiao's brothers, and his subordinate Xin Ai forced Zhang Jiao to death. Ding Wei County Yudu, in Julu, Zhao, Wei and other places can be known as a prestigious name, the most important thing is that he did not deal with the eunuchs, in the two party confinement, the Xun family in Yingchuan also suffered a big loss , then, if Xun Zhen is willing to help Wang Fen, maybe if he climbs high, he can at least be able to follow Zhao and Wei Ying.—Xun Zhen was a lieutenant of the State of Zhao, and now he is the prefect of Wei County, with great prestige in these two places. Gao, Wang Fen thinks that even if Cao Cao and others refuse to participate, if Xun Zhen can be brought into the group, with Xun Zhen as a "heroic person" participating, then his "destruction" will be enough. It worked.

But how can it be done easily?

Cheng Jia saw it, Cao Cao saw it, and Hua Xin saw it too. With Wang Fen's prestige and power, he couldn't compare with Yi Yin and Huo Guang at all, and he certainly couldn't do it.

Xun Zhen naturally saw it too, so after reading his letter, he was shocked and said, "Uncle Fang will definitely be defeated. The people of the Zhao family, even today!"

Having said that, Wang Fen is difficult to achieve, but Wang Fen's undefeated defeat has nothing to do with the annihilation of the Zhao clan in Ye County?

But because:

First of all, Wang Fen will definitely not be able to do it, then secondly, if it is not done, there is a possibility of leaking, then again, if it is leaked, Xun Zhen's receipt of his letter is very likely to be exposed, and once it is exposed , even if Xun Zhen could be spared the death penalty for not participating in it, in terms of Zhao Zhong's dissatisfaction with him, he could not escape the court's investigation and punishment. The Marquis will also be cut off. It doesn't matter whether the "Marquis of Yingyin" is cut or not, but if Wei Jun can't become the prefect, the matter of "killing Zhao" will obviously have to be abandoned, and there is no way to do it.

Therefore, as soon as Xun Zhen received the letter, he understood that "Zhao Ye County Zhao" is today.

Then again, since Xun Zhen knew that Wang Fen was bound to lose, why not just sell him? Wouldn't it be the best choice to simply report it to the court? Not only can it be guaranteed not to be implicated, but it will also make a contribution.

It's just a pity, from the perspective of the current style of scholars and the mainstream of public opinion, it is absolutely impossible to "report" this kind of thing, even if it involves "rebellion", even if Wang Fen's conspiracy is "rebellious", he cannot be reported to him. .

Yes, if Wang Fen is reported, Xun Zhen will definitely be rewarded by the court, but Wang Fen is the predecessor and leader of the party members, one of the "eight chefs", and is famous all over the world, and this time he plans to "abolish the establishment" The purpose is to "eliminate the eunuch". In the view of scholars, as long as the **** is not dealt with, then it is "politically correct". If Xun Zhen reports him, Xun Zhen's reputation will be completely ruined.

Can't you see that although Cao Cao, Hua Xin, and Tao Qiuhong rejected Wang Fen's proposal successively, none of the three of them went to report and expose Wang Fen, why? It is because of fear of bad reputation.

From this, it can also be seen that the contradiction between the scholars and the eunuchs today has reached a point of complete irreconcilability~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if it is an unethical crime such as treason, as long as it is linked to the eunuch, the scholar People can also cover up and hide them.

It is also related to the fact that Yan Zhong, a famous scholar in Beizhou, persuaded Huangfu Song to rebel against the Yellow Turbans in his early years, and it can be seen from this that after decades of suppression and decades of grievances, the emperor of the Han family is in the eyes of many scholars. It was also long ago that the prestige was gone.

There is no need to say why Huangfu Song rejected Yan Zhong. Cao Cao and Hua Xin rejected Wang Fen. They both talked about "the matter of abolishing the establishment, which is difficult for Yi and Huo Suo". They pointed out the difficulty and refused to participate. Because I know that this can't be done, not because of the famous teachings. You must know that Cao Cao is a son of a great nobleman, and Hua Xin is a Confucian scholar. , but neither of them mentioned it, which is extremely unusual in the contemporary era when the scholars focus on "honing the name and festival".

Xun Zhen didn't know about Cao Cao and Hua Xin's rejection of Wang Fen, nor did he know the reason why they both rejected Wang Fen. If he knew, he would definitely sigh in private: The Han family has been under the revival for four hundred years, but now it has ended. Yu Tian hated Han De and the empire was on the decline. It is no wonder that in recent years, rebels claiming to be the Son of Heaven have emerged one after another, and it is no wonder that together with the turbulent times, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao both have aspirations to become emperors.

Xun Zhen said to Xun You and Cheng Jia: "'When the moon is full, the loss will be lost, the prosperity of things will decline, and the heaven and earth are constant'. I expected that Fang Bo’s plan would be difficult to achieve, and if it didn’t work out, it would probably involve me and others. Therefore, I thought that Zhao Dang in Zhuye County is today! What do you think?”

Xun You and Cheng Jia looked at each other helplessly, and replied, "This is the end of the matter, and we can only execute Ye Zhao as soon as possible according to what Junhou said!"
