DAY 127 The Chain Meter Reappears (Part 2)
Chapter 127 The series of plans appear again
Thank you for your monthly tickets, rewards, and subscriptions. Chongjia thought that today was quite powerful, but he actually got a ten thousand update. This is the big girl who got into the sedan chair, haha.
Under the guidance of the servants, Wu Fan came to the hall, and Wang Yun was already waiting here, and he politely talked to each other and sat down with the host and host.
The two first communicated with each other for a few moments, and drank a few drinks during the period, and the topic of the two gradually became clear.
After chatting for a while, Wang Yun seemed to feel that he was not happy enough. He raised his hand and patted him twice. As the vocal music started, a beautiful woman in gorgeous dancer costume turned out from behind the hall, which was Diao Chan.
After coming to the hall, Diao Chan first bowed to Wu Fan, and then combined with the vocal music, brushed up the water sleeves, moved the lotus steps lightly, and rotated his body. The person and the scene were like a fairy in the sky.
Wu Fan watched Diao Chan dance, but from the corner of his eyes he was scanning Wang Yun. Seeing that Wang Yun had been paying attention to his reaction, he knew the intention of Wang Yun's banquet.
It turns out that this old stubborn person is treating himself as Lu Bu and wants to play a series of tricks.
To be honest, Diao Chan is indeed beautiful, and she is in the world. She is a normal man who wants to embrace her and enjoy the warm and fragrant heart. Why doesn’t Wu Fan have this heart? However, Wu Fan is not a brainless person like Lu Bu, and he will not ignore his career or even his life for a woman.
Here, since he already knew the purpose of Wang Yun’s play, Wu Fan naturally had no need to follow his route.
Finally, he looked at Diao Chan, and it happened that Diao Chan had completed a rotation and looked at him as well. The two of them looked at each other, and Diao Chan quickly lowered her head.
Wu Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a great girl, but unfortunately she has become a victim of politics. Judging from her appearance, she doesn't know about it at this time, right?
Thinking of this, Wu Fan turned his eyes back and buried his head in drinking.
Wang Yun looked around for a while, and saw that Wu Fan stopped looking at Diao Chan. For some reason, he quickly winked at Diao Chan and signaled Diao Chan to pour wine for Wu Fan.
Diao Chan was very embarrassed. If he poured wine for other princes and ministers, it would be nothing at all, but pouring wine for Wu Fan really made Diao Chan feel embarrassed.
The emotional world of virginity is so strange. Compared to women, there is more delicate and shyness.
However, since her adoptive father asked her to do this, Diao Chan could not disobey her orders. After a little twist, she came to Wu Fan's table, knelt down, picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Wu Fan.
During this period, Wu Fan naturally glanced at Diao Chan again, and Wang Yun took this opportunity to ask Wu Fan:
"How is General Wu, and how does the female Diao Chan look like in General Wu's eyes?"
Wu Fan smiled and said:
"Miss Diao Chan's beauty is indisputable. Why does Lord Situ need this question?"
Wang Yun's speech was a little bit tight and thought to himself: Wu Fan is quite sharp-tongued. His answer seems to be heartless, but he cleverly changed from passive to active, and took the initiative to draw the next thoughts at himself. No wonder this person is highly valued by Cao Cao. As the number one general under Cao Cao's account, it is indeed difficult to deal with.
After a moment of thought, Wang Yun also smiled:
"General Wu governed Luoyang, worked diligently for the people, and was very hardworking. I heard that General Wu was only married to serve him, and he was pregnant, so he was inconvenient. It happened that the girl Diao Chan was in the middle of the palace, so she wanted to betroth General Wu as a concubine and serve General Wu's daily life every day. But I don't know what General Wu wanted?"
Originally, Wang Yun wanted to take a few turns to provoke Wu Fan's **, and then say the idea of begging Diao Chan to Wu Fan. However, after the words of confrontation just now, Wang Yun knew that for a capable minister who was probably above him and not below him, the more he took, the more passive he would make him. It would be better to just say this idea. Anyway, in terms of Diao Chan's appearance, I don't believe that Wu Fan could not be moved.
After hearing this, Wu Fan laughed and put down his wine glass.
After hearing this, Diao Chan immediately blushed. She stood up and walked towards the hall. She wanted to avoid it for a while, but she heard Wu Fan say:
"Miss Diao Chan, can you delay some time? Listen to Mr. Wu and Lord Situ here?"
After hearing this, Diao Chan didn't know what to do and looked at Wang Yun. Although Wang Yun didn't know what Wu Fan sold in the gourd, he still nodded. Diao Chan then chuckled to Wu Fan and nodded, and knelt beside Wang Yun.
I heard Wu Fan ask Wang Yun:
"Wu has understood Lord Situ's kindness, so let's put it aside for the time being. Wu has some doubts in his heart, and he has been around for a long time. He hopes to take this opportunity to ask Lord Situ for advice."
Seeing that Wu Fan did not want to betroth Diao Chan as he expected, Wang Yun immediately became so excited that his eyes shone with excitement. He couldn't help but feel very disappointed. However, even though he was disappointed, Wu Fan had any questions and asked him for advice, so he naturally couldn't refuse directly, so he nodded and said:
"I hope to hear the details."
Wu Fan said:
"Mr. Wu wants to know, in Lord Situ's heart, what position should the people of the world be placed in? Is it important for thousands of people in the world, or is it the status of the Liu clan with the surname of the emperor that is stable?"
This question is very sharp, even with a full taste of contempt for imperial power. If it were before Emperor Xian was overthrown by Cao Cao, it would be almost the same if anyone would say this and not move immediately. But now it is different. Emperor Xian has a name but has no real power. Especially as the prefect of Luoyang, Wu Fan holds heavy troops and can take Emperor Xian's life at any time
Therefore, although Wang Yun was immediately shocked after hearing Wu Fan say this, he quickly returned to normal. He smiled as he mentioned the media for Wu Fan and said solemnly:
"The country is based on the people. Only with the people can there be a country, and only with the country can there be a king. Needless to say, the importance of the people in the world is, why did General Wu ask this question?"
Wu Fan smiled and suddenly became serious and said:
"Situ's people are wrong. In the eyes of Lord Situ, the people of the world are just straw dogs. As long as the status of the imperial Liu clan is stable, even if thousands of people are in trouble of war, what's the harm?"
As an important official in the court, Wang Yun attaches great importance to his personal reputation. After hearing this, he immediately said:
"General Wu, what do you mean? My ancestors, Wang Yun, have been loyal and kind for three generations, reported to the emperor and the people, and believed that he had a clear conscience to see the people of the world as straw dogs?"
Wu Fan said sternly:
"Mr. Situ, there are no outsiders in the hall today, so we should not waste time and just say it. If Zin is weak today and lacks the ability to rule, the princes of all over the country have taken advantage of the chaos to seize the chaos, seize the rule of one side, and attack each other, and the people of the world have suffered from war. Based on this situation, the emperor will not only be unable to curb this war situation, but will eventually be replaced by powerful princes after a few years."
"Now, Lord Cao Cao has the ambition to pacify the world and quell the rebels in the name of the emperor. This act of abstaining the emperor was disgraced by all those in the world who adhered to the idea of loyalty to the emperor, including Lord Situ. But do you think how blessed this move would be for the people in the world? In the battle of Wancheng, if Lord Cao Cao was not issued an edict on the name of the emperor, Liu Biao led his troops to fight against Yuan and Xuchang, the two places of Wancheng would definitely fight for a long time, for a few months or as long as a few years. During this period, the people of the two places had their wives and children separated, and they were all normal. If you only sit in a noble position and show your ability to criticize the words and pen, how could you understand the suffering of the people? Just the land of the two cities is like this, let alone the whole world? Is it wrong that Mr. Wu said that Lord Situ regards the people in the world as straw dogs?"
After hearing Wu Fan's argument, Wang Yun was speechless for a moment.
Diao Chan couldn't help but look at Wu Fan at this time and said in his heart: This person is not only brave, but also has a unique view, which makes people feel like they are clearing the sky. From his point of view, those ministers who come to the mansion to accuse Cao Cao of the Emperor of the Son of Heaven on weekdays are really a bit ignorant.
Before he knew it, Diao Chan had already stood on Wu Fan's side in mind, which was exactly what Wu Fan wanted her to stay. No matter how careful Wang Yun had planned it before, he would not have expected such a change.
But Wang Yun said that after talking for a while, he forced himself to be a loyal minister and said:
"Cao Cao's insult to the emperor was disloyal, but the unfaithful minister wanted to use the emperor's name to pacify the world? What is the difference between this move and usurping the throne?"
Wu Fan chuckled:
"The world is the world of the people of the world, and those who can live in it can be the best; is it just the surname Liu?"
As soon as these words were said, Wang Yun was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at Wu Fan and said:
"You...you..."
But I was so angry that I didn't know what to say.
Wu Fan didn't look at him, but Gu Zi stood up, bowed to Wang Yun, and walked out of the hall with great strides.
Diao Chan knelt beside Wang Yun, holding Wang Yun while watching Wu Fan’s leaving figure in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Until Wu Fan had left the mansion, Wang Yun said in disbelief:
"Rebellion, I thought Cao Cao was a treacherous minister, but I didn't expect that Wu Fan was a rebellion minister. Even more than Cao Cao, this pair of kings and ministers were all disasters to the Han Dynasty. Did you all see it? The great Han Dynasty was destroyed by the hands of these two people."
After saying that, he knelt down to the heaven and earth again, and was deeply saddened.
...
In the next half month, Wang Yunjun was at home and ignored government affairs. Wu Fan sent someone to monitor the person closely and immediately returned it to himself if there was any movement.
Wu Fan, like Cao Cao, hates this kind of diehard who is loyal to the emperor, and he wouldn't say that this pair of monarchs and ministers are similar in nature. However, in terms of heart, Wang Yun is indeed a very good minister. As long as he does not intend to cause trouble, Wu Fan doesn't want to do anything to him.
It would be better if he could get rid of his thoughts and use it for himself. However, with Wang Yun's personality, such a thing is almost impossible, so Wu Fan did not expect anything about it.
During this half month, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, passed away. Cao Cao made a favor and wrote an edict in the name of the emperor, ordering Liu Bei to temporarily lead Xuzhou, but he was not officially appointed as the governor of Xuzhou.
Moreover, although the alliance deadline of Cao Cao and Liu Bei has passed, Cao Cao deliberately maintained a friendly attitude towards Liu Bei.
After Jia Xu learned that the reason why Lu Bu was devoted to Liu Bei's subordinate was Wu Fan's intention, he repeatedly praised him. On this basis, Jia Xu offered Liu's plan to be generous and Lu, and was adopted by Cao Cao. He gave Liu Bei's civil servants and generals in the name of the emperor, and deliberately let Lu Bu know that these official positions were specially won by Cao Cao for Liu Bei.
After such actions, Lu Bu, who was already hostile to Cao Cao, naturally cared about Liu Bei.
It happened that Yuan Shao had defeated Gongsun Zan's forces and led his troops to Beihai to attack Kong Rong. Cao Cao once again ordered Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shao, who was disobedient in the name of the emperor. Liu Bei did not know that Lu Bu was worried about him. After receiving the imperial edict, although he felt embarrassed, the emperor's order was not easy to disobey. So he led his troops out of Xia Pi and slowly marched towards Beihai, thinking that after Beihai was captured, he could lead his army back with legitimate means.
