Chapter 185 Volume 3 Don't Let the News Leak

Chapter 185 Volume Don't Let the News Leak

Xun Yu put on his hair crown again, thinking that he had just stolen a little time to relax.

When he arrived at the hall, he became even more displeased when he saw Huangfu Li's attire.

Although he is the descendant of a famous general, Huangfu Li hides his true identity and does not show it to others.

"Meet Minister Xun."

"Meet Huangfu Pushe."

After the two exchanged greetings, Huangfu Li immediately took over the reins and asked, "Minister Xun is at the Shangshutai today. Did you receive any news?"

"There is no news."

"Why does Minister Xun have to do this?"

Huangfu Li said in a friendly manner: "Minister Xun is from a famous family. You should understand that you and I are both loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. We both want to get rid of Dong Zhuo!"

Xun Yu's eyes twitched, but he didn't respond.

"Now Xun You, the nephew of Minister Xun, has been sent to Hanzhong by the Emperor! In this way, with the Emperor in Longyou and Xun You in Hanzhong to coordinate, wouldn't Guanzhong be surrounded? The Emperor trusts Xun You so much, so hasn't he revealed something to Minister Xun yet?"

Xun Yu continued to play dumb: "I don't know what the emperor means, and the emperor didn't pass on any news to me."

Seeing Xun Yu pretending to be stupid again and again, Huangfu Li couldn't help it anymore.

"Minister Xun, everyone in the streets of Chang'an is talking about this matter. The root of this matter is the lawsuits sent by the emperor to the Shangshutai. Why does Minister Xun pretend to be ignorant?"

"Now that things have come to this, does Minister Xun think that he can just brush it off by saying 'I don't know'?"

Huangfu Li was excited: "The emperor has decided to break with Dong Zhuo! Isn't this the opportunity I've been waiting for?"

"I actually know something about Minister Xun. The entire Xun clan came to Guanzhong only because Dong Zhuo threatened Xun You's life. They must have been resentful of Dong Zhuo for a long time! Now is a good opportunity to take revenge!"

"Not only the Xun family of Yingchuan, but also several other noble families, as well as my uncle, have decided to support the emperor and subdue Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop!"

"At this point, what does Minister Xun have to fear?"

Xun Yu's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip.

"Who is the uncle that the Minister of Justice just mentioned?"

"Of course it's the Imperial Censor Huangfu Song!"

"..."

Xun Yu's chest began to beat wildly!
Originally, in Xun Yu's eyes, Huangfu Li was just a clown.

But now that Huangfu Song has joined the mix, things are completely different!

Xun Yu asked in a low voice: "Is this true?"

"Then there is still a holiday?"

Seeing the other party's determined expression, Xun Yu was shocked.

That’s Huangfu Song!

Although half of his body is buried in the ground, he is still one of the most prestigious people in the Han Dynasty!

If he chooses to take action, the turmoil caused would probably be no less than the previous Wang Yun Rebellion!

With this thought in mind, Xun Yu quickly asked, "What does the Minister intend to do?"

Huangfu Li hesitated for a while, but thinking of the importance of Xun Yu and Xun You to the emperor, he quietly told them -

"Now uncle is waiting for Dong Zhuo's reaction."

"Whenever Dong Zhuo wanted to disobey the emperor, he would immediately mobilize soldiers from the surrounding counties and prefectures in the name of the emperor and surround Chang'an."

"Now the army in Chang'an has been taken to Longyou by the emperor. Even the five battalions of the Northern Army that guard the imperial palace have been taken to Hanzhong by the emperor. Chang'an is now empty, and it is a good opportunity to take action!"

Huangfu Li exclaimed: "The emperor is really smart! He has transferred all the troops around Dong Zhuo without anyone noticing, leaving Dong Zhuo isolated and helpless! Good!"

Xun Yu looked at Huangfu Li as if he were an idiot.

The emperor is indeed wise.

But it is definitely not the smart method that Huangfu Li thinks!

"Oh, Minister Xun, this matter is confidential, don't let the news leak out!"

Huangfu Li's final words of advice made Xun Yu sigh——

At least I'm not completely useless and I know I can't let the news leak out.

"But I am only an ordinary Shangshu after all. I am afraid I can't help Pushe too much."

Huangfu Li smiled shyly: "Minister Xun is too modest."

"Actually, I really need Minister Xun to do me a small favor."

Xun Yu thought to himself, as expected.

He was not familiar with Huangfu Li before, but the other party came to him directly and wanted to join in the big event.

Apart from the fact that he was Xun You's uncle, the biggest reason was probably that Xun Yu himself worked in the Shangshu Tai.

This matter was both gratifying and ridiculous to Xun Yu.

The good news is that since Huangfu Li was forced to come to find a stranger like him, it naturally means that there is no one in the Shangshu Office who is disloyal to the court and His Majesty.

This at least proves that the current Shangshu Tai is not an infiltrated sieve.

The funny thing is that Huangfu Li actually chose himself as his target, which undoubtedly made Xun Yu feel a little frustrated.

"Do I look like a traitor?"

Xun Yu didn't understand, but still greeted him with a smile: "I wonder what you want me to do?"

"Since Minister Xun is in the Secretariat, he must be very familiar with the emperor's handwriting. I wonder if he can forge it... It can't be considered forgery, but just write down His Majesty's intentions in black and white to make it easier for us to act?"

"Besides, I just said it. My uncle will pretend to be the emperor's order to mobilize troops. I wonder if Lord Xun can forge it... It's not forgery, but just issue an edict in advance to deal with Dong Zhuo?"

……

If Xun Yu hadn't had a good temper, he would have ordered the servants in the mansion to beat Huangfu Li out with sticks!
Forging a letter from the emperor?
Forging the emperor’s edict?
Why don't you just let me forge an emperor for you?

It would be easier to just pick a young man from the crowd, put a royal robe on him, and let him show up in the crowd!

Huangfu Song was famous throughout his life, and his son Huangfu Jianshou was also quite famous. How come Huangfu Li was so stupid?

Perhaps sensing the contempt in Xun Yu's eyes, Huangfu Li quickly added: "As long as the matter is accomplished, I will treat you as the Shangshu Pushe!"

……

Not only stupid, but also stingy.

He risked the punishment of his entire clan to do these things, and was even willing to only give him a position as Shangshu Pushe, instead of Shangshu Ling, who led the Shangshutai...

Xun Yu is not conceited.

He was confident that within three years, he would be able to take the position of Shangshu Pushe.

If that's the case, why bother getting involved in Huangfu Li's mess?

But he still had to wade...

Since Xun Yu heard that Huangfu Song was involved in this matter, he knew that this matter was not something he could handle.

"Brother Huangfu, what are you talking about?"

Xun Yu's face was full of righteousness.

"To be loyal to the emperor is the duty of a minister! Why do we need to grant him a high position?"

"Don't mention this matter anymore. I will definitely do my best to help Brother Huangfu accomplish this!"

Huangfu Li was immediately overjoyed.

He grabbed Xun Yu's hand and said, "I am not alone! I am not alone! The Han Dynasty still has loyal ministers!"

The joy at this moment is absolutely sincere!

As long as Xun Yu was willing to help, he would have almost completed the most critical part of Huangfu Li's plan, which was to deceive Huangfu Song.

Once Huangfu Song is gone, will Dong Zhuo still have a chance of winning in the current situation?
Huangfu Li chatted with Xun Yu for a long time. When he walked out of Xun Yu's mansion, his feet felt weak, as if he was floating in the clouds.

Xun Yu looked at Huangfu Li's back and suddenly shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that General Huangfu was a hero all his life, but he has such a nephew."

At the same time, Xun Yu also thought that the person who caused this disaster and made everyone uneasy seemed to be Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang.

Even Huangfu Li came to look for him because his nephew Xun You was sent to Hanzhong by the emperor... "Alas, my nephew is not reliable."

Xun You, who was working hard in Hanzhong, sneezed a few times for no apparent reason, and then looked towards the direction of Chang'an with some innocence.

"Jia Lingjun scolded me again?"

……

But no matter what, Xun Yu still relayed to Jia Xu exactly what Huangfu Li told him tonight.

Including Huangfu Li’s last sentence——

"Jia Lingjun, please don't let the news leak out!"

After hearing this, Jia Xu said that he understood and would take care of the matter.

Afterwards, Jia Xu sneaked to the Grand Tutor's residence alone, told Dong Zhuo about the conversation between Xun Yu and Huangfu Li, and emphasized again -

"Grandmaster, please don't let the news leak out!"

"what?"

Dong Zhuo roughly scratched his ear with his little finger: "Shouldn't he be arrested and imprisoned immediately? Why can't the news leak out?"

Seeing Dong Zhuo's calm performance, Jia Xu was even more certain that Dong Zhuo had long guessed that the emperor's capture of Dong's clan members would cause trouble, and Dong Zhuo also predicted that someone would come out to make trouble.

Now it seems that Dong Zhuo was also thinking of "fishing" and wanted to see who would take the bait.

……

Jia Xu secretly sighed in his heart that ever since the Grand Tutor had a descendant, he had become more steady in doing things and was no longer the same as before.

It is far from enough to just fish to this extent.

When it comes to fishing, Jia Xu calls himself the second best, and I'm afraid no one dares to claim to be the best.

What's more, it's not fishing now, but the fish can't resist the temptation and move towards the hook...

"Grandmaster, Huangfu Song has great prestige, I'm afraid we can't act rashly."

Huangfu Song's prestige is both a sharp sword and a strong shield.

It is too unreasonable to put Huangfu Song in jail just based on a few words from Xun Yu and Huangfu Li. I am afraid that people all over the world will be dissatisfied.

and……

Jia Xu could see many problems from the conversation with Huangfu Li.

Even Xun Yu could find out some details from Huangfu Li's words that Huangfu Li deliberately concealed -

"Grandmaster, I'm afraid Huangfu Song has also been deceived by his nephew..."

Otherwise, why would they forge letters from the emperor and imperial edicts?

If Huangfu Song really wanted to do this, did he need to do it through a little Xun Yu?
Huangfu Li's self-proclaimed clever cover-up was so ridiculous in the eyes of Jia Xu and Xun Yu that they could see the problem at a glance.

Dong Zhuo was also a little disappointed after hearing Jia Xu's speculation.

"Yizhen (Huangfu Song's courtesy name) is definitely not that kind of person."

Dong Zhuo did dislike Huangfu Song somewhat.

But in disgust, there is also a mixture of fear and admiration.

Huangfu Song might really become his enemy.

But this is definitely not the way to make an enemy of yourself.

Thinking carefully about some of Huangfu Li's words, it really feels like Huangfu Song seems to be kept in the dark and needs to find all kinds of evidence to drive him forward.

"How can there be such a stupid nephew in the world?"

At this moment, Dong Zhuo was also certain that it was Huangfu Li who was harming Huangfu Song, so he cursed him secretly.

But when he thought that his nephew was as stupid as Huangfu Li, and even too stupid, Dong Zhuo became even angrier!

"stupid!"

After all, my nephew is not as sensible as my son!
When Dong Zhuo thought of Liu Wansheng, his heart suddenly seemed to be melted by something, and he couldn't wait to go to him and touch his face.

"Then what does Wenhe think should be done about this?"

Jia Xu already had a plan in mind.

"Since the other party wants to wait for the emperor's response, why not tell the emperor about this matter and see if we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

When Dong Zhuo heard that Jia Xu wanted to hand this matter over to the emperor, he relaxed even more: "In that case, I will not take care of this matter. You can just tell the emperor all this!"

After that, Dong Zhuo hummed a nursery rhyme and left quickly.
"Good little rabbit~"

"Open the door~"

"Open it quickly~"

"Hmm hum hum~"

This was a nursery rhyme that the emperor had used to appease Liu Wansheng. After Dong Zhuo discovered that this song was very effective for Liu Wansheng, he also learned it and hummed it.

Although Jia Xu felt a little uncomfortable, he smiled knowingly and immediately returned to his residence to report the information to the emperor.

Liu Xie has now returned to Shanggui from Lintao and is preparing to return to Guanzhong.

Liu Xie did not find it strange when he received Jia Xu's letter.

"really."

Liu Xie had already anticipated that Guanzhong would inevitably be ready to take action because of this matter.

But at the same time, Liu Xie also anticipated that both Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu would believe in him and believe that he would not engage in meaningless and vicious political struggles.

Now it seems that although there was a slight accident, everything is still calm.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Dong Bai was sitting next to him.

Dong Bai always seemed to be restless. She shook her head and dangled a golden hairpin on her head.

"you want to see?"

Hand the letter to Dong Bai——

"You will be the queen soon. There are some things that Cai Dajia probably doesn't know, let alone teach you. You'd better learn to distinguish them by yourself."

Dong Bai took the letter and glanced through it.

After reading it, Dong Bai sighed softly.

Liu Xie was full of surprise: "Do you understand?"

“I don’t understand…”

Liu Xie rolled his eyes: "Then why are you sighing?"

Dong Bai thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, judging from what the letter said, this Huangfu Li betrayed his uncle?"

"Isn't that the same as my uncle? Isn't he harming my grandfather?"

Dong Bai sighed just because he could empathize with her.

Dong Bai thought of something at this moment, and came to Liu Xie with some embarrassment, gently tugging at Liu Xie's sleeve -

"Your Majesty, will my uncle die?"

Liu Xie closed his eyes and thought about Dong Huang's lawsuit.

"I don't want to kill him."
