Chapter 3 What? Are state and county leaders all rebels?
Of course, Li Su had an answer to Liu Bei's question.
But, the world is not about fighting and killing.
The world is about human nature.
The most taboo thing is to communicate in a simple and profound way.
Otherwise, you said it, and others would not believe it.
Therefore, Li Su must first lay the background and emotions, so that Liu Bei himself can subtly form the impression that "Zhang Chun and the Supervisor do have the motivation to be dissatisfied with the court."
He cleared his throat and said, "Duke Xuande, as a supervisor, I should not say something to outsiders. But I can't bear to see Duke Xuande as loyal to the court and being framed by villains. I have to say it. No matter what I hear, I hope Duke Xuande keeps it secret for me."
"You and I will fall into this situation at first sight. Mr. Wu is very righteous. How can you betray your friend? If you leave your mouth and listen to him, then no fifth person will know about it." Liu Bei made a promise for granted.
If you are out, you can’t sell informants. This is the basic professional ethics.
Liu Bei made this promise, which basically blocked the possibility of confronting him and the Supervisor.
Li Su nodded and then continued with confidence: "Duke Xuande knows why the imperial court eliminated military officials in Jizhou this time? Why did Governor Jia take action immediately as soon as he took office? How much does former Governor Wang Fen, who died suddenly last year, know about it?"
Before Liu Bei could answer the conversation, Zhang Fei was already a little impatient: "Don't keep it a secret, we only know that governor Wang is a famous scholar, ranked 'Eighth Chef'. I don't know anything else, so I'll just say the key point."
At the end of the Han Dynasty, famous scholars in the world were led by the "Three Kings", followed by the Eight Tribes, followed by the Eight Gu, followed by the Eight Kitchen, and then the Eight Kitchen.
A chef has insufficient talent, knowledge and morality, and is named after his generosity and wealth, eagerness to be righteous.
"Your deeds should not be rude! You can change your problem. These famous scholars are not worth exploring in detail. Because they were unable to become officials in the age of the Party and the corruption, they were unable to become officials and lacked recognition from the court, so they retired and praised each other. For example, Xu Shao's Yuedan comments, if they were twenty years earlier, how could anyone be so popular?"
Liu Bei couldn't help scolding Zhang Fei, then turned to Li Su and said with apologies, "My brother likes to flatter famous scholars, so he makes the teacher laugh. What Chacai asked, Bei really doesn't know, so please give me some advice."
Li Su nodded slightly and continued to lay the groundwork: "Then it's a long story. After all, the turmoil in the Jizhou officialdom began with Wang Fen - he actually failed to rebellion and committed suicide for fear of crime. After Jia took over, he was ordered to eliminate the Jizhou officialdom in order to clean up Wang Fen's party members and express his loyalty to the court."
"What? Wang Fen actually rebelled?!" Liu, Guan and Zhang were shocked in unison. Even people like Liu Bei who were not showing their emotions could not stop.
Fortunately, Liu Bei reacted quickly and immediately ordered: "Second brother and third brother silent! Listen to the sir!"
Zhang Fei was still a little disbelief and muttered, "Why is there no news about such a big thing? There will be no fake one."
Guan Yu was calmer. He stroked his long beard and focused his thoughts and analyzed: "That's how it is, there are not all clues - brother, do you still remember that at the end of last year, there was a rumor that he would go back to the Qiandi Mansion of Hejian County to visit relatives as usual.
All counties along the way also cleared out thieves once, saying that they would avoid the road being unstable. Didn’t we also make meritorious contributions and rewards at that time? But later, the visit to the relatives was cancelled for no reason. Could it be that it was related to the governor Wang?"
Li Su couldn't help but look at Jia Xu, thinking that Guan Yu had a very keen IQ.
The matter mentioned by Guan Yu involved a background, that is, the two emperors Huanling were not descendants of the late emperors. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, young kings succeeded to the throne, and they all died without having children, so they could only find foreign vassals to succeed the throne.
Huan Ling is the grandson and great-grandson of King Liu Kai of Hejian (Huan Ling is the relationship between uncle and nephew)
Because the descendants of Hejian succeeded the throne, during the reign of Emperor Ling, he would occasionally tour the north and return to his hometown in Hejian from Luoyang to play.
The reason why Wang Fen dared to take action was that he relied on Hejian in Jizhou. He planned to mobilize the troops of several counties in Jizhou under the pretext of preventing Black Mountain bandits, and then waited for Emperor Ling to force the palace to depose the emperor on the northern tour.
But later the court suspected that it had cancelled the Northern Tour and invited Wang Fen to Beijing. Wang Fen was completely blind and could only commit suicide due to crime.
The court was also afraid of embarrassment, and he had only suspected that Wang Fen was in bad behavior before and did not catch any evidence. Seeing that he committed suicide, he did not disclose the cause of his death, which was considered to be an admission of "sudden death during his tenure". As a result, the grassroots officials of the counties below Jizhou actually did not know the truth about the cause of Wang's death.
However, if Li Su said this, it would not cause people to doubt the source of the information. Because he is considered the "secretary of the county secretary", it is normal to know this.
He briefly explained the above details and finally concluded: "As Yun Chang said, the North Shou was abolished today because he suspected that Wang Fen had rebelled and wanted to abolish the emperor and establish the Marquis of Hefei."
After hearing this, Liu Bei sighed depressedly: "Hey, Wang Fen is a famous man in the Qingliu. How could he be so ruthless? What exactly did he want?"
Li Su: "It's just because the emperor trusts eunuchs. Wang Fen was dismissed from office due to party corruption in his early years. After the Yellow Turban chaos broke out, Shangshu Lu advised the court to lift the party corruption and returned to his career. Therefore, he hated eunuchs deeply and wanted to use the deposed and declared all eunuchs."
Wang Fen is actually a fool, and this is completely whimsical, so smart people will not do it with him.
In history, Wang Fen tried to find three friends to complicit, namely Cao Cao, Hua Xin and Xu You.
Cao Cao refused sternly, Hua Xin tactfully dissuaded him, but only Xu You expressed his spiritual support.
Zhang Fei listened to this wave of analysis, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "Wang Fen, a thief, is a thief! It's okay to die by yourself, but he also implicated so many people! By the way, the gentleman said just now that Wang Fen had lost the case, he mobilized soldiers from various counties on the grounds of "preparing to the Black Mountain Bandits".
Then, the more I paid for the Black Mountain last year, the more I was suspicious of the court? Is it because of this that the supervisor said that he was sick and could not let us confess his feelings and insisted on abdicating his position as a eldest brother? But we are indeed loyal to the country and protecting the country and protecting the people, so how can the Shangguan not distinguish right from wrong?"
When Li Su heard this, he was secretly happy: He originally wanted Liu Bei to feel that Zhang Chun "is not distinguished from rewards and punishments, and sacrificed Liu Bei's levy and dismissal."
Now, Zhang Fei's violent temper takes the initiative to make up for this little trick, which saves some verbal remarks.
Li Su skipped the trick of the second phase of the original plan, and directly put on a "sympathy for loyalty and kind" and said with a tone of gratitude, "In fact, it's not just that..."
"Please say everything!" Even Liu Bei, who had always been happy and angry, twitched slightly when he heard this, his nasolabial folds on his lips, obviously he had accumulated a certain level of anger.
"Zhongshan Prime Minister Zhang Chun and Supervisor insisted on dismissing Duke Xuande this time because they were already disappointed in the court and wanted to rebel against the Han Dynasty. Zhang Chunsu knew that Duke Xuande was a relative of the Han Dynasty and would never follow him, so he wanted to use the name of the court to deceive his superiors and subordinates and kill dissidents before plotting rebellion!"
"What? Zhang Envoy Zhang is also a brave general who has made great contributions to the Yellow Turbans to suppress the Yellow Turbans and is very grateful to the country. How could he rebel?!" Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, almost jumped up, subconsciously touching the hilt of the sword, obviously thinking about whether Li Su might be falsely accusing him.
This is because in just a few minutes, I heard too many explosive news, which was a bit too magical.
If anyone else had heard that his two-level immediate bosses, the top leaders of the state and county, were all rebels. Who could accept this?
Li Su hurriedly comforted: "Don't be surprised! Listen to me - just now, when you heard that the supervisor must dismiss your post, aren't you unwilling to accept it? Haven't you ever thought of letting go of anger and then giving up your post?"
Liu Bei calmed down for a moment, and the muscles on the corners of his mouth were still twitching slightly: "This... I really want to beat the Supervisor hard! At worst, I will abandon my official position and leave!"
Li Su: "Zhang Chun wanted to rebel, but his anger was just like you. After seeing that the governor Wang died, the court was suspicious of the military meritorious officials of various counties in Jizhou. Everyone looked like Wang Fenyu, and felt that the future was hopeless, so he took the risk!"
"This..." Liu Bei was speechless and his acceptance of this matter was also increased to 55.
These are all speaking skills that Li Su practiced as a negotiating expert in his previous life. In just a few words, Liu Bei's empathy for thinking from the perspective of others.
Just like when Zhu Yuanzhang asked the rebellious peasants "why didn't he sue the officials" in the Hongwu Case, the peasants instantly retorted, "Why didn't he sue the officials when you rebel?" Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely understand it in seconds, and then he felt sad.
Seeing that Liu Bei was in deep thought and stopped touching the hilt of the sword, Li Su knew that the temperature was almost the same.
He quickly changed into a professional tone that seemed to sympathize with the criminal's difficulties, and said in a tempting manner: "Duke Xuande still knows that last month, the Grand Marshal Zhang Wen came to Ji and Youdian General, and planned to promote a General of the Central Army, protect the Wuhuan School Captain, and lead three thousand Wuhuan cavalry to Liangzhou to assist in the fight and attack Beigong Boyu?
Zhang Chun recommended himself to Taiwei Mao, but Taiwei abandoned him because he was an official in Jizhou. At that time, the chief of Liaodong County, Gongsun Zan, was competing for this position, so Zhang Wen finally ordered Gongsun Zan's general.
Later, the court issued a notice to eliminate military officials in Jizhou. Adding these things, Zhang Chun speculated that there would be no good end to staying in the court, so he became interested in rebellion."
Liu Bei's eyes lit up: "Of course I know about this! Bogui is my senior brother! He was valued by Zhang Taiwei and was in charge of Wuhuan cavalry. I also sent a letter to celebrate! It turns out that the direct inducement of Zhang's two hearts was actually a competition with Brother Bogui!"
The last evidence involves Gongsun Zan, and it is exactly the same as what Liu Bei knew. It is like a grass gray snake line, wandering thousands of miles, and finally his trust in Li Su further increased to 70% or 80%.
Of course, 70% is already very good. After all, it involves treason, and no one dares to say that they believe it all before the evidence is solid.
Li Suneng convinced him to this level within just half an hour of knowing him. It was already a golden lotus that could be surging with all kinds of emotions and psychological speculation. It would be impossible to do it without exquisite eloquence and psychological speculation.
The last knot in Liu Bei's heart was just because he was still doubting Li Su's motive - why did Li Su feel so heart-to-heart with him just as soon as he met him and had a deep conversation?
Liu Bei took a deep breath, calmed himself down a little, and then asked calmly: "There is still something unknown: Even if everything is true, how can you ask the sir why you want to report to the head of the family?"
He subconsciously wanted to test whether Li Su is trustworthy.
After all, everyone likes talents who are loyal to the court, but they are best able to take care of the Lord.
Li Su had known that he could not avoid this question, and he was righteous and righteous: "I am not a seller who seeks honor, but since ancient times, loyalty to the emperor is greater than the victim. If they are involved in treason, how can I sit still and see you as a conspiracy? How many innocent people will die in vain together?
What's more, although Hu Shushu and I have no name as master and disciple, they have the reality of teaching. The Supervisor killed my mentor to silence him. I had long since broken up with him and wanted to report it. But he was alone and had no power to tie a chicken. He had no chance to escape, so he had to endure it and slowly try it out."
