Chapter 274: Grace and Righteousness (1)
The book is followed last time.
After hesitating for a long time, Cai Yong said with difficulty: "Not only that, I also told them all about our plans..."
When Li Zhi heard this, his brows frowned instantly. It would be nothing if he just cooperated with them.
However, it is indeed inappropriate to let them participate in their own planning.
People in aristocratic families act mainly on their own interests and do not care about the lives and death of the people in the world.
If there is something that can gain benefits in this plan, they will definitely not care whether the plan can proceed smoothly and just seek benefits.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi rubbed his brows in distress and smiled bitterly in his heart: "Mr. Cai is still a scholar who is too angry. How could he be so honest and tell his plan all over?
Forget it, things have come to this point, it’s useless to think about these things, so I can only change my plan.”
Thinking of this, Li Zhi sighed long and said to Cai Yong: "Don't blame yourself, I will change my plan."
After saying that, Li Zhi walked forward and untied the rope on his body for Cai Yong.
Seeing this, Cao Cao, who was standing beside him, hurriedly walked up and untied the rope for Yangqiu.
After the two of them untied the rope, Yang Qiu rubbed his shoulders and cursed at Li Zhi with a smile: "You bastard are cruel, you dare to tie me up!
After this matter, see how I will teach you a lesson!"
Li Zhi was about to reply, but Cai Yong, who was standing beside him, made an action that no one could imagine.
I saw him bowing deeply to Li Zhi, without saying a word, and never stood up again.
"What is Mr. Cai doing?!" Li Zhi was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly walked forward and helped him up with great effort.
After Cai Yong stood up, his face turned red. His eyes were also dodging when he looked at Li Zhi. He opened his mouth, but he wanted to speak but stopped.
Seeing this, Li Zhi asked in confusion: "Your Majesty Cai says something, why do you hesitate? But what is the hidden secret?"
When Cai Yong heard this, he shook his head and nodded again, but he didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Yang Qiu, who was standing beside him, walked up, patted Cai Yong on the shoulder, and said, "Since Brother Cai doesn't want to say it, let me say it, I don't care about face."
As he said that, Yang Qiu turned his eyes to Li Zhi and said guiltily: "Nephew, I am sorry to you this time. After this incident, I will beat you and scold you. I will never reply."
"Uh..." Li Zhi was confused at this time, and he didn't know why Yang Qiu was like this, so he asked in confusion: "Why can't Yang Gong sorry to my nephew?"
After hearing this, Yang Qiu looked straight at Li Zhi for a while and said, "We will go to find Yuan Feng, and Yuan Feng promised to fight against He Jin and Zhang Rang with us.
However, they made a request, and if they did not agree to that request, they would not form an alliance with us.
I am weak and want to rescue Your Majesty, they must form an alliance. In the face of helplessness, I have to agree to their request."
Hearing this, Li Zhi had a bad premonition in his heart. He hurriedly asked Yang Qiu: "I don't know what the requirements are?"
"Oh..." Yang Qiu sighed and looked at Li Zhi and said guiltily: "They want the position of General of the Cavalry!"
"What?!!!" Yang Qiu's words had just finished, and before Li Zhi could answer, Cao Cao exclaimed in surprise and asked in a lost voice: "You have agreed to such an excessive condition?!"
When Yang Qiu heard this, he nodded with a ugly expression and said helplessly: "This is a helpless move. At that time, I and others didn't know that He Jin was already standing on our side.
If you want to deal with Zhang Rang and He Jin, you must rely on the strength of the aristocratic family. In a helpless manner, we agreed to their request."
Speaking of this, Yang Qiu's face was also ashen: "If I had known that He Jin would have cast a shot towards us, I wouldn't have been so embarrassing!"
"Hmph!" As soon as Yang Qiu finished speaking, Cao Cao snorted coldly, looked at Yang Qiu and said unhappily: "You two are elders, and we, the younger generation, shouldn't have blamed you.
But what you two did is so chilling!”
As he said that, Cao Cao grabbed Li Zhi's hand, broke out one of his fingers, let Yang Qiu and Cai Yong look at it, and said, "The wise brother Xingzhi's thunder method hurts others and himself. Every time he uses it, he will suffer a little injury.
In order to unite with He Jin, Xingzhi's brother's fingers were already burnt!
But even so, he did not slacken. As soon as he came back, he asked him to go down and notify you both.
But I didn’t expect that you two actually brought such news. Don’t you feel ashamed to wait?!"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and said to Yang Qiu and Cai Yong: "Besides, you two, whether they are official positions or titles, are all under Xingzhi's virtuous brothers. What right do you have to be the masters of Xingzhi's virtuous brothers?
Can you decide the position of General Cavalry?
I will never agree with this matter! I will never let Xingzhi use official titles to exchange for support from the aristocratic family!"
When Yang Qiu heard this, he was anxious and hurriedly said, "This is a bad thing!
Even if He Jin has agreed to form an alliance with us, it is not safe yet.
After all, Zhang Rang is in great influence. If we want to rescue His Majesty, we must do our best to suppress Zhang Rang's power and prevent him from having any chance to cause trouble.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may be in danger of death. It is not too much to be careful."
As he said that, Yang Qiu looked at Li Zhi and advised in a warm voice: "Xingzhi nephew, it's not that I am unkind. The reason why we agreed to Yuan Feng and others' conditions was because we didn't know that He Jin would lean against me at the beginning.
I thought why the enemy was our enemy
So I thought that after knocking down He Jin, we would fully recommend the virtuous nephew as the general to make up for the virtuous nephew.
But things in the world are impermanent, and I never expected that He Jin would be easily explained by his nephew.
After hearing Meng Dexian's nephew talk about this, both of us were a little overwhelmed.
However, things had already happened, and I wanted to get the forgiveness of my nephew, so I played a scene with Brother Cai.
Brother Cai pretended to be guilty and saluted to Xingzhi's virtuous nephew, but I persuaded him.
In this way, maybe my nephew can see that I am old and forgive me,
But we didn't expect that Xingzhi's nephew was so alert that he instantly saw through our abnormality, and that our plan failed."
Speaking of this, Yang Qiu's face was filled with complexity.
They thought it was good at the beginning and first handed over the position of General Cavalry to the aristocratic family.
After they pushed He Jin and Zhang Rang down, they asked His Majesty to let Li Zhi be the general to make up for Li Zhi's losses.
However, at this time, this idea cannot be realized.
Yang Qiu sighed, looked at Li Zhi seriously and said, "This is because I am sorry for my nephew. In the future, I will definitely make every effort to make up for my nephew.
This time, I hope that my nephew will put the overall situation first and give up the position of General of the Cavalry to win over the aristocratic families.
By then, we and the three forces will surely be able to take down Zhang Rang in one fell swoop.
In this way, Brother Lu doesn't have to take any risks.
Moreover, the method of assassinating Cao Jie by his virtuous nephew was not suitable for use.
After all, we are all officials and we must act according to the rules. If we are like nephews every time and break the situation by using extravagant means, there will inevitably be endless troubles.
Wang Yun’s affairs are right in front of you. If it weren’t for the nephew who used an outside method to deal with Wang Yun first, Wang Yun would not have assassinated the nephew. Nephew should consider it carefully.”
"What's wrong with Guan Wangyun?" Hearing this, Li Zhi asked in confusion: "When I deal with Wang Yun, my nephew had never used an outside method."
Seeing that Li Zhi refused to admit it, Yang Qiu said angrily: "My nephew really thinks that he is doing it perfectly, and no one can see it?"
Didn’t you force Wang Yuan, Wang Yun’s nephew?
Could it be that the money department that was originally the idea of a nephew?
Wasn't it the nephew's idea to ask Your Majesty to take down Wang Yun in a false name?"
Li Zhi was shocked when he heard about Yang Qiu's series of problems. He did not expect that Yang Qiu would know these things. After all, he did all these things very secretly.
Looking at Li Zhi's surprised expression, Yang Qiu asked, "Don't you think that no one in the world knows what the nephew has done, right?"
Seeing Li Zhi nodding blankly, Yang Qiu said angrily: "What you did at the beginning was all under our noses. We are the officials in Luoyang City.
How could an old minister who has been for many years not know?
I just don’t bother to talk about you. After all, you have indeed made contributions to the Han Dynasty, so it’s okay if you act a little more unlucky."
Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that his actions would be seen by others. He thought that he was doing very secretly and no one knew about it.
But unexpectedly, he felt as if he had been stripped naked, and any secrets were known to everyone.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi was greatly hit and murmured in his heart: "I still feel that I am extremely smart, but I didn't expect that all my actions would be seen through! No!"
Suddenly, Li Zhi thought of something and suddenly raised his head to look at Yang Qiu, with a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
After a while, Li Zhi stared at Yang Qiu and asked slowly: "How did Mr. Yang know these things?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Qiu stroked the short beard under his jaw and said complacently: "I naturally have my own methods. I have been an official in the capital for many years. If I had not even had such methods, there would be no bone residue left that people would have eaten!"
Li Zhi stared at Yang Qiu and shook his head slowly: "No! Mr. Yang shouldn't know about this, but only after visiting the aristocratic family, right?"
"Nonsense!" Yang Qiu's face changed, and then he returned to his normal expression. He scolded Li Zhi: "I have my own way of news, so do I tell you if I can tell me?"
When Li Zhi heard this, he sighed, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "To persuade his nephew to give up the position of General Cavalry, Mr. Yang took great pains to do so."
As he said that, he looked at Yang Qiu with a complicated expression and asked, "Do you know why your nephew know? Do you don't know about your nephew?"
After saying that, Yang Qiu was not allowed to answer, Li Zhi asked and answered: "Because Mr. Lu didn't know what his nephew did until now.
Duke Lu has a higher official position than the two and has greater power than the two. He doesn’t know about his nephew. How did you two know?
Moreover, when Cao Jie was eradicated, Yang Gongguang collected all the evidence for several months.
If Mr. Yang was really as powerful as he said, how could he be so incompetent in Cao Jie's affairs?"
Speaking of this, Li Zhi looked at Yang Qiu who was silent and sighed: "The reason why Mr. Yang said this is nothing more than to make me feel that you are well-informed and know about the world.
Put pressure on this marquis from the side, so that this marquis can be psychologically weak, and then we can persuade this marquis to give up the position of General of the Cavalry."
Speaking of this, Li Zhi looked at the two people in front of him with a calm expression and asked, "Two, what I said is correct..."
