Chapter 2759 Counting and calculating
In Yingchuan, the incidents that broke out continuously made a mess!
After all, in the Han Dynasty, there was no public relations department, and there was no special discipline for crisis management. Regarding the successive thunderstorms, everyone in Yingchuan, who was used to a peaceful life, said that the melon was too big to eat.
Xi Li sat alone in the government office of Yushitai, frowning.
He once felt that he was a loyal warrior of a big man, a brave man who lurks in the darkest, but has a heart for the light!
In front of other people, no matter what he said, Xi Xi had to maintain a dignified demeanor, and did not show his complex emotions of anger and fear, but when he was sitting alone, he was more or less in control I can't help myself.
Although it is said that many Xu County officials were a little confused when the big melon fell from the sky, they still followed the old model and did what they had to do. Changed, etc., different.
After all, when the melons are dropped, they are all big ones. The things that small officials face are naturally different from those of high officials.
Xixi, the Yushitai, isn't big or small, but he hurts from being hit by melons.
Yushitai used to be brilliant in Dahan, but now, this glory has nothing to do with Xiji. Originally Yushitai could impeach officials all over the world, up to the Sangong Jiuqing, down to the local counties and counties, all of which could be heard and played. The components of the stage have been completely disintegrated.
All the officials in the world have the final say of the two ministers.
West side, Xixi can't control it, and east side, he can't control it either. Whether it's personnel dispatch or employment arrangement, Xi Xi doesn't have a say anyway. Well, even if you have the right to speak, it doesn't matter...
In fact, at present, the overall structure of the Han court has been almost destroyed. Although many departmental positions still have the original names, the actual authority is quite different. In many cases, it is like the current Yushitai, which only maintains a superficial decency, but in fact it does not work at all. The current political system of the Han Dynasty has long been changed to divide power based on the power balance among the princes, and the normally functioning political system has long been completely destroyed.
Cao Cao didn’t have any objection to the fact that Xi Ji became the imperial censor. In fact, the most fundamental reason was not the emperor’s insistence, but Cao Cao knew that the institution of the imperial censor was no longer what it used to be, and had little effect.
Xi Xi worked very hard for a time, but his efforts seemed to be completely unable to withstand the changes in the current situation and the changes in the world.
Xi Ji originally wanted to borrow Kong Rong's story, and repeatedly jumped in and out of it, going in and out, dawdling, and getting some oil and water out of it, but now...
After all, the Son of Heaven lives in the inner court, and there are many restrictions. If you want to break Cao Cao's monopoly, you must work together inside and outside to regain the rivers and mountains.
This, right?
Then where is the support point of the outside world? Can it be done with only one place of Yushitai?
Even if Xi Xi is covered in iron, how many nails can he drive?
So we must find allies.
But once the power is strong, Cao Cao will stare at him, and then slap him...
So, what to do?
Naturally, it is pretending to be the same as the person under Cao Cao's crotch, then you can slowly ponder Cao Cao's waist.
Those who refuse to pretend, and those who want to show that the chariots and horses are right with Cao Cao, have become Jingguan piled up at the intersection of the street.
To save your own life, you can serve the great man better and be more loyal to the emperor, right?
And in the process, Xi Xi can slowly restore the authority of Yushitai!
Kill two birds with one stone, no, kill two birds with one stone!
Otherwise, what benefits can you get if you maintain the superficial following of the emperor? Even Yu Shitai's salary is not enough! Is it pleasing to go to Shangshutai all day to see the face of the little official? But after reaching Cao Cao's crotch, everything seemed to be smoother, much smoother. The money owed before has also been issued under various names, and the Yushitai has more or less manpower to build a shelf.
Anyway, Xi Ji would never admit that he was being targeted by Cao Cao at that time. In a panic, he tried to use Kong Rong as a bargaining chip to protect his own life...
This is a transfer strategy for the big man and the emperor!
Xi Xi comforted himself, and then made an excuse for himself.
Uh, strictly speaking, Xi Xi really thought so.
He wanted Kong Rong to die.
Because of Huaxia's habit, only when people die can things become serious and make trouble!
Xi Ji felt that Kong Rong's death was not a pity.
The important thing is that he can use some strength through Kong Rong to gain some real power, at least to restore a little bit of Yushitai's power, and then use it as a pedal to climb up and gather more people. In the end, he fought against Cao Cao. And like Kong Rong's big mouth, if he doesn't do enough to make things worse, if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to kill him, he will become an obstacle to Xi Xi's upward climb instead!
Xi Xi really worked very hard, he even acted in front of the emperor, in order to deceive Cao Cao, and then when the matter of Kong Rong germinated to a critical moment, he would jump out and stab Cao Cao in the back, but he never expected Yes, at such a moment, there was another change that made him completely speechless!
No one will be concerned about Kong Rong's life.
In politics, sometimes human life is also a bargaining chip.
A politician will more or less have some blood on his hands, either from the enemy, from his own people, or even ordinary people who are innocently involved.
It turned out that no one took Kong Rong, a person who likes bragging and reading seriously, perhaps even Kong Rong himself.
After all, Kong Rong has become a squire in the wild since he retired from the court.
And became a big sprayer of Qingliu in the wild...
It is said that they are in the opposition, but it does not mean that these people have no authority after leaving the court.
These squires in the field, generally speaking, do not have much say in the court, but in terms of locality, it is different. Moreover, these squires in the field will also transform into the ruling party at any time. Even if it is not a serious way for scholars to become officials, it may be because a certain lady married into a certain family, or the emperor simply chose a concubine or something, and then immediately From an opposition party to a ruling party...
At the same time, the gentry and country gentry in the opposition are almost in control of the local economic lifeline, and the entire local population has become their source of industry. Even the government cannot easily move them. On the other hand, is it possible that the county magistrate is required to personally go to the fields to pick mulberries to pay taxes?
But at the same time, the opposition party also has disadvantages, that is, although they are the same vested interest class, they have to pay more than the ruling party and get less. The ruling gentry children can use their power to reduce or reduce their own burdens. And transfer these burdens to other non-ruling gentry, so these out-of-war gentry will naturally have the desire to re-enter the court and rule again.
Therefore, there is some truth to Xi Xi's original plan...
When Cao Cao was obviously ready to attack Xi Ji, Xi Ji lay down on his own initiative and put on a gesture of enjoyment, which made Cao Cao a little bit reluctant to do so. At the same time, Xi Xi killed the big troll Kong Rong, on the one hand, it reduced the risk of being trolled, and at the same time, it also broke up the opposition parties gathered around Kong Rong, and then consolidated and harvested from them, and finally replaced Kong Rong Take the top position and become the spokesperson of the new generation of Qingliu in the wild.
This is Chi Ji's ultimate goal.
Kong Rong is not suitable to be the spokesperson of Qingliu in the wild, at least Xi Xi thinks so.
Neither know how to coordinate postures, nor know how to progress in learning, and even almost dragged Chi Chi into the water. If Xi Xi doesn't engage in Kong, how can he prove that he and Kong are not contaminated or wet?
Of course, even if Chi Chi was killed, he would not admit that he first wanted to use Kong Qian to cause a series of problems. Anyway, for Chi Chi, the faults are all others' faults. As long as he can find an excuse to shirk it, then That's right.
So it's all Kong's fault, and it's all Kong Rong's fault.
In order to protect myself, so that I can better serve the emperor and do my best for the great man, I had to sacrifice Kong Rong.
In order to meet the multi-level needs, Kong Rong must die, and it is not clear why he will die.
The guilt of Kong Rong framed by Xi Ji and Lu Cui, in fact, cannot withstand scrutiny strictly speaking, but they just want this effect...
If the crime is confirmed, how will the confession be retracted in the future, and how will the fuss be made?
In Xi Xi’s most ideal state, Cao Cao came up and killed Kong Rong, and then it was "unfortunately" that after Kong Rong died, someone found out that he had killed him wrong!
Hey, then Prime Minister Cao who killed the wrong "good guy", shouldn't he...
At least an apology is necessary, right?
Once Cao Cao closed the door and loosened his authority, isn't this an opportunity?
Even if Cao Cao asked Yu Shitai to do the knife, Xi Xi could still express that he was emptied, wronged, and obeyed orders. The man with the knife...
Unexpectedly, when Xi Xi was still planning how to win over the power of some local gentry and the opposition through the connection, it became like this!
Kong Rong really said "unfaithful and unfilial"!
How can the plan continue to be implemented?
Before charging disloyalty and disfilial piety as a crime, it was like a joke, and then the joke came true, making Xi Ji completely unable to laugh.
Now that the situation is chaotic, before the opposition parties had time to integrate, they were beaten dizzily by Mr. Cao with a combination of punches, and each of them could not find their way. If Xi Ji jumped out to challenge the leader, there might indeed be some hope of unity , but in this way, needless to say, Prime Minister Cao will definitely be hated. If it succeeds in the future, maybe it’s okay, if it doesn’t...
Those who hated Prime Minister Cao back then, how many people can live smoothly?
who? Chen Lin?
what!
Chen Lin, who wrote an article scolding Cao Cao, is indeed still alive, but living is worse than a dog!
Cao Cao didn't kill Chen Lin, but what did he let Chen Lin do?
Reporter!
Didn’t Chen Lin write an essay? Just let him write essays for the rest of his life!
That guy surnamed Cao has never been a good person.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his future was bleak. He couldn't figure it out that Kong Rong, who was clearly known for his loyalty and filial piety, would say something that was almost crazy and lost his loyalty and filial piety!
Didn’t this completely collapse the original position of Xi Xi and others, making all previous calculations of Xi Xi fall into emptiness?
Next, what should I do?
Before Chi Chi could figure out how to follow up on Kong Rong's side, the news from the other side completely disappointed him...
Lucy is here.
He brings the latest news…
The Xun family remained silent.
No movement at all.
『No, this Jizhou gentry has already smacked their noses on their faces, and they just need to **** on their faces! At this time, Xi Ji has completely lost the appearance of the so-called masters of Confucian classics, celebrities and scholars, and he is like a person in the market, uttering evil words, "Can this be tolerated? Can this be tolerated? ! How can this be tolerated? ! ah? ! 』
Lu Cui glanced at Xi Ji, then fell silent helplessly.
Although Lu Cui has the name of a military officer's sacrificial wine, his sacrificial wine is completely different from Guo Jia's sacrificial wine. "Recording Office", that is, drafting military orders, issuing announcements, etc., and so on, and lacking any real power.
Does everyone have some dreams, or what is the difference from salted fish?
While working in the recording office, Lu Cui looked at Chen Xianyu's appearance, naturally he didn't want to be Lu Xianyu...
Perhaps it is someone who is unwilling to be lonely, always able to hook up with the same kind in the night scene, so Lu Cui naturally flirts with Xi Xi, and they become more and more sympathetic.
『The Cui family is like this, the Xun family is up and down, there is no movement at all? 』Xi Xi still refused to believe it, and asked again.
Lu Cui closed her eyes and nodded.
『This…』 Xi Xi sat down slumped, completely unable to hold back his original stable appearance, with a flustered expression on his face, and murmured, 『How could this happen, how could this happen...』
Xi Xi couldn't figure it out.
Just as he couldn't figure out that Kong Rong, who regarded the word "loyalty and filial piety" as more important than his own life, would suddenly utter the wild words of "disloyalty and disfilial piety", he also couldn't figure out that Cui Yan was serving as the prime minister's mansion, Dong Cao. One thing, the Xun family didn't move at all?
『Perhaps... actually there are measures, but they are unknown to you and me? Lu Cui said slowly, "After all, at the moment... I'm afraid it's not just you and me who are staring at the Xun family, right?" 』
Xi Li was taken aback for a moment, then immediately slapped his hands, "That's right! Certainly so! 』
Will the Yingchuan faction let the Jizhou faction rub their faces?
Obviously impossible!
Even if Xun Yu can bear it, can the whole Xun family bear it?
Even if the Xun family can bear it, can the Yingchuan people who belong to the Chen family and the Xin family be able to bear it?
『Xun’s Wubao was destroyed before... 』Lu Cui said slowly, 『It may be reasonable for Xun’s to stay still up and down...』
It’s not the first time that the Xun family has become a turtle with a shrunken head. Before Xun Wang died, didn’t he die soon?
『No, this time is different from that time,』Xi Li waved his hand and said, "The death of the past is just a side effect. If the death is today, the whole family is closely related..."
Lu Cui nodded upon hearing this, "That's true. But the Xun family didn't move, so... what should I do? 』
Yes, what should I do?
This is a puzzle.
Originally, the plan of killing two birds with one stone, or killing many birds with one stone, has evolved to the present. Not only did the bird miss, but the stone also hit one's own feet? Who would have thought that after calculations and calculations, the result would be like this?
If the Xun family does not move, Yingchuan will probably not be able to move up and down. After all, there is no leader. This matter is the same as Kong Rong. These gentlemen in the wild country do not have Kong Rong, and they are easy to become a mess, and then cut into different parts. , vassalized on other spokespersons.
Xi Xi's calculation was to replace Kong Rong as the new spokesperson, but now he finds that his plan has become a booster for Cao Cao to disrupt and cut the entire Shandong gentry system. Until now, when Cui Yan became the Prime Minister's Dongcao, representing the Jizhou faction, or after a considerable number of Jizhou people headed by Cui Yan completely turned to Cao Cao, Xiji suddenly realized that he stared at Kong Rong was scheming against the rural gentry, while Cao Cao was staring at the whole of Shandong, scheming everyone!
This naturally includes Xi Ji.
Xi Xi's worries soon became reality.
Cao Cao dispatched a soldier and brought the prime minister's order, ordering Xixi to expedite the handling of Kong Rong's matter, which must be "completed" before the emperor's celebration.
This is really not giving a chance...
Xi Ji lamented, and then suddenly shook his body, as if he had thought of something, a little panic appeared on his face.
"What's wrong? ’ Lucy asked.
Xi Xi's face turned pale, and he said in a low voice, "Prime Minister...Prime Minister, didn't he plan all this since the chaos in Xu County? What you and I have done...will it also be planned by the prime minister? 』
Being tricked by others is actually quite normal. People are drifting in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed, and if they plot against others, others will plot against themselves. Naturally, Xi Xi doesn't think there is any problem with this matter, but being plotted by others has started so early. Planning, and then I didn't realize it. I was still in the calculation of others, walking at the pace predetermined by others, and even thought that my calculation had succeeded. This is really...
Lu Cui's complexion suddenly turned pale, "No... no way..."
Xi Xi seemed to have lost his skeleton, he leaned limply on the edge of the table, and murmured: "This...someone thought that the hussars in this pass have far-reaching plans, and they are accompanied by tigers, so they came to Xu County ...I didn't expect that in the end...ah, this hussar, the prime minister...oh, why are there so many heroes in this world? 』
