Chapter 191 Shooting a Deer (1)(1/2)
It was getting late, and Xu Du also started the night ban
A few days ago, Liu Chuang was assassinated outside the gate of the inn. The murderer has not been found yet, which has caused the people of Xudu to panic.
The New Year is coming soon, but it is really disappointing to encounter such a thing
But there is no way. In order to make everyone feel at ease, Cao Cao had no choice but to implement the night ban, which also made Xu Du lose the hustle and bustle of this time in previous years.
"Duke Fu Jian and Na Chuang'er had a secret talk on the carriage today?"
"Yes, but I don't know what the two of them talked about, but it seems that they have not agreed. They separated at the intersection of the street. Uncle Liu seemed unhappy and then Zhao went to visit Duke Fu Jian. Judging from his words, he seemed to have something to do with Duke Xuande."
"It has something to do with Xuande?"
Cao Cao frowned and showed a thoughtful look
But Guo Jia smiled, "If so, Jia can guess some clues."
"Come and listen to Fengxiao?"
"In the past two days, Jia was ordered to investigate the murderer who assassinated Uncle Liu, but he didn't want to hear a news by chance
Liu Bei seemed to be extremely envious of the identity of the royal uncle Liu, so he asked Chen Gui and Chen Hanyu to visit famous scholars in the city, hoping to restore his royal family name Chen Gui visited many people for this matter and received many promises, including the royal family princes and princes.
However, it seems that everyone knows that the conflict between Liu Huangshu and Liu Bei is very deep, so they are unwilling to answer with certainty.
If it was really for Liu Bei's business, Fu Jiangong must have gone to Uncle Liu to talk to him, but with my understanding of Uncle Liu, I may not be willing to do so."
Cao Cao also heard about Liu Bei's desire to return to the royal family
He didn't value this matter very much, and even did not take it seriously after receiving the news. Liu Bei wanted to return to the royal family. He was in a clear mood. Cao Cao was even willing to let Liu Bei return to the royal family. At least he could give Liu Chuang some restraint, so as not to let him hear what Guo Jia said. Cao Cao felt relieved and did not take it to his heart. He put down the book in his hand and said to Dong Zhao: "Gongren, I have something I want to ask you to worry about... Liu Mengyan opened Nanshan Academy in Donglai to compile the Siku Complete Book and widely collected the classics of the world. Now, their first sutra "The Thirteen Classics Commentary" has been compiled, which has attracted many people's attention.
I heard that in the past two days, many doctors in the Imperial Academy have received books sent from Nanshan Academy...
Once the compilation of the Siku full book is completed, Liu Chuang will definitely be famous in Shilin, which will be even more troublesome. So I would like to ask you to come forward and open the same academy in Yingchuan, and start compiling books. Liu Chuang is in his personal name. What do you think in the name of the court?"
Cao Cao also has a set of "Thirteen Classics Notes"
He might not have cared about it before, but after the commentary of the Thirteen Classics was completed, Cao Cao immediately felt the influence contained in it.
Once this set of thirteen scriptures is promoted, Liu Chuang will definitely gain fame.
Cao Cao is now trying to suppress Liu Chuang, but if he wants to suppress it after the Siku Complete Book is completed, he may have a lot of effort.
After all, Liu Chuang is now not very influential in Shilin by relying only on the name of Liu Tao's son.
But if the Siku Quanshu is compiled, then he will gain a place in the Shilin, which will inevitably bring a lot of trouble.
Dong Zhao thought for a while and said softly: "This matter is not impossible to be implemented, but the lord needs to tell the world in the name of the emperor, and the scholars of the world will inevitably come one after another. At the same time, the lord needs a representative figure who can take action, otherwise it will be difficult to compete with the candidate of Nanshan Academy led by Zheng Xuan Guan Ning and Bing Yuan. It needs to be respected, but it is not easy to find out for a while..."
Yes, Zheng Xuan is called Master of Confucianism, and he is unparalleled in Confucianism.
Liu Chuang pushed Zheng Xuan out, which was indeed a good move.
Cao Cao wants to imitate Liu Chuang now, he must find a person who can compete with Zheng Xuan.
But how can such a person be so easy to find?
"Yingchuan Fanqin Fan Xiubo is good at secretary, good at poetry and essays, and has a famous reputation; in addition, there is also Yingchuan Tang Xidian Tang Xizidu, who is also a contemporary master of classics..."
Dong Zhao proposed five or six people, but none of them could satisfy Cao Cao.
The people he mentioned may be considered famous contemporary scholars and have a good reputation
But if you compare with Zheng Xuan, you will be able to make a decision immediately, and you will end up learning to walk in Handan and become the laughter of others in the end.
Guo Jia said: "Lord, this matter is not in a hurry
Uncle Liu is in Xudu now, so the Nanshan Academy took out the thirteenth classics so quickly. To put it bluntly, it is also to protect Uncle Liu. As long as we are not in a hurry to ruin Uncle Liu's life, Nanshan Academy will naturally slow down and learn something. If you can't come, Liu Chuang took two years to build this Nanshan Academy and spent countless money and food to release a thirteenth-level commentary.
The lord only needs to stabilize Uncle Liu. On the one hand, he can try to screen out famous scholars, and on the other hand, he can recruit the Nanshan Academy as the emperor. I think he can always attract some useful talents. The more anxious he is, the more likely he makes mistakes. I think the lord should stabilize first before talking about it.”
Cao Cao agreed deeply and nodded in agreement.
"Lord, Ma Shoucheng was summoned and has arrived in Xudu tonight
This time he brought his son here, and probably had some plans. After he claimed to be General Fubo, Ma Yuan, he was very ambitious and needed to be careful.
Otherwise, can you suppress him for two days and destroy his spirit?"
Cao Cao quickly shook his head, "Gong Ren, Ma Shoucheng and Chuang'er are different, so you can't wait the same thing.
Guanzhong decided to dominate Xiliang, Ma Teng and Han Sui, and they should not only treat each other with lenient treatment, but not only cannot suppress him, but on the contrary, they should also respect him as a guest of honor, hoping that Guanzhong will be like this. Let Yuan Chang be responsible for the reception tomorrow, and then report to the emperor to see the emperor
However, Ma Teng Xiliang's soldiers have always been arrogant and need to be taken seriously
Man Chong strengthened the security of Xudu and asked Zilie to take care of the Xiliang soldiers more. If the Xiliang soldiers make trouble in the city, they must not tolerate this... Ma Teng needs to know this, so as not to cause unpleasant things at the time, and everyone will not be too good in terms of face."
"Here!"
"Fengxiao, does the assassin who assassinated Chuang'er have any flaws?"
Guo Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There are still no clues that people seem to have disappeared out of thin air and there is no way to find them.
According to my guess, if those assassins were not silenced, they would have probably left Xu Du. However, I guess the possibility of being silenced is very high. If this is the case, it means that the person behind the scenes will definitely not be simple. Therefore, I will continue to investigate, but it will take some time."
Cao Cao gently rubbed his temples, "Since that's the case, there's no need to rush to investigate.
Anyway, Chuang'er has met the emperor and can block some people's mouths right. After all, he is also the emperor's uncle. You can't always neglect Gongren and make arrangements. Find a mansion in the city to reward him, so as not to be told by others, I neglect him Liu Mengyan."
Seeing Cao Cao's face showing fatigue, Guo Jia and Dong Zhao couldn't continue to stay
The two of them took the order and left from Sikong Mansion
It was getting late, and the long street was silent. Only when I heard the sound of drums from the distance, I heard from time to time.
Beixuli is brightly lit and still prosperous... Although it is a night ban, it is nothing for some powerful children. As long as they do not run rampant on the streets, there will generally be no trouble. Guo Jia and Dong Zhao also know this well and do not care.
"Please go first, Jia is going to visit Man Boning, so he will say goodbye first."
"Fengxiao goes back to rest early, I will take the lead."
The two bowed farewell outside Sikong Mansion, and Guo Jia boarded his own carriage.
Guo Jia had many questions about the assassination of Liu Chuang. During the investigation, although the possibility of Liu Chuang being the mastermind behind the scenes has been eliminated, he still believed that this matter was inseparable from Liu Chuang, but he had no clues, and no evidence, so it was difficult to make arbitrary judgments. After all, under the current situation, Liu Chuang is a very sensitive existence, which made him feel very tricky.
But I don't believe that you won't show your strength?
Thinking of this, Guo Jia subconsciously clenched his fists and gently pounded the wall of the car!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Xun Yu hopes that Liu Chuang can stay and assist Cao Cao
In fact, this is not only Xun Yu's expectation, but also the hope of many Yingchuan tribes such as Zhong Yao
"I know that Meng Yanzhong is loyal to the Han Dynasty, but now the current situation is the only one who can revive the Han Dynasty is Cao Gong.
Since the Ten Eunuchs, the Han Dynasty has suffered many disasters and has become declining. So at this time, a strong man needs to come forward to calm this situation. I also know that the emperor is dissatisfied with Cao Gong, but the emperor is young this year and has no power. How can he fight against the princes? Cao Gong may be arrogant sometimes, but he is loyal to the Han Dynasty. If Meng Yan wants to revive the Han Dynasty, he should cooperate with Cao Gong so that the emperor can also have the help of Meng Yan in the future. Why not do it?"
By the way, Cao Cao was the wise ruler and the only one who could revive the Han Dynasty
Xun Yu's loyalty to the Han Dynasty was not doubted, but Liu Chuang felt that he had too much hope for Cao Cao's betting.
That's right, Cao Cao might still be loyal to the Han Dynasty at this time
But when he one day pacify the north and monopolizes the power, how could he continue to endure the Han Emperor's entrusted? This dispute between imperial power and ministerial power has been in place since ancient times. Now the imperial power has declined and the princes have become bigger. It is ridiculous that you put your hope on a prince.
Liu Chuang doesn't know how to evaluate Xun Yu
He has outstanding talents and long-term vision, but he is politically too naive
Perhaps it was this naivety that made him suffer for a lifetime, and in the end he parted ways with Cao Cao and committed suicide
But how could Liu Chuang say these words?
Whether it is Xun Yu or Zhong Yao, they are all typical supporters of Cao Sect. If Liu Chuang says something that is not conducive to Cao Cao, in the end it may make them dissatisfied, and it is more likely that the entire Yingchuan clan will change his attitude towards him. This is definitely not what Liu Chuang wishes.
"Mr. Xun, uncle, I can't make up for this matter for a while.
I don’t know much about Cao Gong. To be honest, if he hadn’t believed the rumors, I might have lived a wealthy family life at home, so why would I have been living a wealthy family all day long? Before that, Chuang didn’t even know who Cao Gong might be a famous minister who could revive the Han Dynasty in the eyes of Mr. Xun and his uncle, Cao Gong was a famous minister who could revive the Han Dynasty, but now I can’t be sure that if I were not a royal family, I might have surrendered, but since I was a royal family and the emperor’s personal uncle who had conferred his own advice on my great Han Dynasty, I will have to see it for a while.”
Xun Yu and Zhong Yao looked at each other and nodded slightly
If Liu Chuang agreed very happily, they might think that Liu Chuang was dealing with it.
But Liu Chuang said he would observe for a while, but he made the two more or less relieved of their guard.
Indeed, in the first year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang was just a small civilian from Donghai County who rose in just three years, which was due to his personal ability.
How hostile is Liu Chuang towards Cao Cao?
It may not be... I think he wouldn't have known who Cao Cao was three years ago. The reason why he was an enemy of Cao Cao was, to put it bluntly, Cao Cao believed Liu Bei's rumors, and he still couldn't get rid of his happy knot until now. Well, I guess this is the case, so let's take a look?
Xun Yu did not urge Liu Chuang to express his attitude anymore, but just gave him a cup of tea.
After the three of them had a drink, Zhong Yao kept Liu Chuang at home to rest, but was rejected by Liu Chuang.
"Meng Yan, you may have to live in Xudu in the future. You will never have to live in the inn forever.
It just so happens that I have a house here, right next to Beixuli, I don’t like the noise there, so I haven’t lived there before. Now I’m here, so I live there first and have any needs, so I told me, Wenruo and I will do my best to solve it for you.”
"Then, thank you uncle"
Liu Chuang did not be polite to Zhong Yao, so he reached out to take the deed
To be continued...
