"Be harmonious to others, be lenient to others, treat others with tolerance, and you are a gentleman." [Record of Sheng Xin]

The good news in Shaanxi County really disrupted the cooperation between the emperor and Ma Rixi and others. Wang Yun fought back and made a grand request for Lü Bu in the court. On the grounds that his merits were unworthy, he transferred the title of Marquis Wen awarded by Dong Zhuo to Lü Bu.

, and also worshiped Lu Bu as the general of the guard.

General Wei is different from Fenwu, Polu and other miscellaneous generals. This is a serious general with a heavy title. He can appoint officials and subordinates, command all the armies in the capital, control the forbidden troops, and foresee government affairs.

Lu Bu originally had more than 10,000 troops who went to Hongnong to collect and surrender along the way. Together with Niu Fu and Dong Yue's rebels, he had nearly 30,000 elite troops when he returned. Zhao Wen, Ma Rixi and others were forced by the army.

Wei Wei was silent for a while. Although the emperor had many troops who obeyed his orders, they were all new soldiers. Under Lu Bu's huge military pressure, he had to agree to Wang Yun's reward to Lu Bu.

As for the guard captain Zhang Xi and others who were on the verge of death, Wang Yun forcibly suppressed them, and no one dared to mention them at the court meeting.

Although the matter between Zhang Xi and Cai Yong was suppressed, it did not mean that no one would mention it. It only subsided for a few days. After the popularity of Lu Bu's victory over Niu Fu subsided, Weiwei Zhang Xi once again stood at the forefront of the storm.

It turned out that the emperor was preparing to visit a nobleman of the Song Dynasty last night. He bumped into a thief who behaved strangely on the palace road. The royal horse was frightened. Liu Zhang, the captain of the carriage, could not control it and fell off the shaft. The carriage almost capsized. Fortunately, the emperor was at that time.

It wasn't in that car, otherwise it would have caused a catastrophe.

But after what happened, the emperor was naturally furious, and immediately ordered Yu Lin, Huben and other Lang Wei to search everywhere in the palace, and finally caught the thief on the edge of Cang Pond.

Early the next morning, the emperor resigned in anger and led the Northern Army, Yu Lin, and Hu Ben out of Shanglin Garden. The ministers headed by Taiwei Ma Rixi impeached Weiwei Zhang Xi for failing to fulfill his duties as a minister and should be held accountable.

The memorial was reported to the emperor, but the emperor threw it to the chancellor's desk without any approval. Sun Rui, the chancellor of the chancellor, handed it over to Wang Yun with his own opinions, that is, according to normal procedures, let Wei Wei Zhang Xi pay an audience by himself.

Ting Wei defended himself.

Officials failed in their duties, causing villains to collide with holy chariots, which has been a serious crime in all dynasties.

Wang Yun was taking a rest. After receiving the report, he immediately called Zhang Xi to his home to ask: "What's going on with you recently! A few days ago, I vouched for you in front of His Majesty and the ministers, so that you could make atonement for your sins. Unexpectedly, today it happened again

You really let me down by causing such a big thing!"

"I am a humble person, and I have been favored by Situ and have been rewarded many times. Now that this happened, I really owe Situ a debt. I may not be able to save myself if I have violated the wrath of the Holy One. I also ask Situ to make a decision early. My wife and children,

I hope Situ will take care of him." At this time, Zhang Xi was no longer as high-spirited as he had been a few days ago. Under the deliberate blow from the emperor and Ma Rixi, he seemed particularly aggrieved, and even his words had a hint of entrusting him with the funeral arrangements.

Wang Yun was very unhappy to hear this. He knew that Zhang Xi was a person who was pragmatic and evasive, and was good at disguising. The reason for the appearance of thieves in the palace was probably because he didn't pay attention to it at first and deliberately concealed it. Even Wang Yun didn't know about it. When things got serious,

, Wang Yun gave him a guarantee, but his ability was limited and he was not the material for this, so he had no results for a long time.

Seeing that it would not end well this time, he ran over and pretended to be pitiful, hoping that Wang Yun would help again.

Now this problem was once again placed in front of Wang Yun. With Lu Bu serving as the general of the guard and controlling the army near the capital, it was obviously a thankless task to keep a guard who had committed serious crimes and was ignored by the emperor.

Wang Yun made a decision quickly. He never hesitated to promote people he was close to and admired. However, if this person not only violated the national law, but also tried to trick him into rescuing him, it would violate Wang Yun's principle of keeping integrity for his ministers.

.

"We, the ministers, should act impartially. You have violated the national law, why are you coming to me? You should quickly go to the Tingwei Mansion to defend yourself and wait for the public discussion. There is no need to come to me."

This situation was beyond Zhang Xi's expectation. What was originally a turning point became extremely difficult after he made repeated mistakes. Only then did he realize that he had made a mistake. Under Wang Yun, he should not immediately approach Wang Yun when he made a mistake.

Instead of protecting him, he should consciously plead guilty, so that Wang Yun might find a way to treat him leniently. But now he is rushing over in a hurry to ask Wang Yun to act for his own selfish interests. What is the difference between this and the sycophants that Wang Yun has always hated?

Zhang Xi is a smart man. He realized his mistake and tried to save it. However, the dissatisfied Wang Yun stopped seeing him in order to avoid suspicion. Zhang Xi still persisted in his obsession and asked people everywhere to speak out in front of Wang Yun.

Huang Wan, the captain of Sili School who spoke up, interceded on his behalf.

How could Huang Wan agree to help Zhang Xi now when he dared to offend the powerful and insisted on selecting talents with integrity? But after much thought, he finally chose to come to Wang Yun's house.

In the afternoon of the next day, the heat was steaming. Huang Wan braved the scorching sun and hurriedly walked into the backyard of Wang Yun's mansion under the leadership of his servant Cang Tou. Wang Yun was afraid of the heat, so he had a bamboo forest planted by the pool in the garden.

A bamboo pavilion was also built in the bamboo forest.

The breeze blows from the water and passes through the bamboo forest, making a rustling sound when the branches and leaves rub against each other. The entire bamboo pavilion is exposed to the wind, and the bamboo curtains hanging around it are constantly flipping.

Wang Yun sat on the mat in the pavilion, separated by the curtain, quietly listening to the chirping of birds in the bamboo forest.

When Huang Wan arrived, he couldn't help but sweat, and the scholar-official demeanor he had maintained in the past had turned into panting. On the other hand, Wang Yun was sitting upright and calm, which made Huang Wan a little embarrassed.

"He just came to look for me yesterday morning. I told him to go back. I didn't expect to invite you here today." Wang Yun personally poured a cup of tea for Huang Wan and said sarcastically: "This man is really proud of himself."

"Instead of waiting for him to find someone else and cause trouble with you, it's better for me to come here personally to stop his luck." Huang Wan knew Wang Yun's character. If he waited for others to come to plead for mercy, Wang Yun would definitely have a dispute with him.

, at this tense time, internal stability and harmony must be ensured.

Wang Yun snorted coldly: "I have already pointed out the way for him. He is jealous of his reputation and is afraid of Tingwei's prison, so he doesn't listen to my advice. Who can be blamed for ending up like this?"

"Originally, he was asked to go to the court to apologize, so that even if he was punished, he would still behave like a courtier. This was also considered as the dignity left by the court to the courtiers. But he has not been able to go. He has been hiding at home for the past two days and has been looking for people to ask for help.

His Majesty's anger was still lingering, so he directly ordered Zhao Wen, one of the ministers, to take the halberd man to take Zhang Xi and the guards, and the officials on the left and right were waiting for him to be bound to the prison in a carriage. Now he didn't even have any face." Huang Wan seemed to be.

I feel sorry for Zhang Xi; "If you are confused for a moment, you will make a big mistake!"

A large part of Zhang Xi's fate can be said to have been caused by Wang Yun's inaction, so when Huang Wan relayed the news, Wang Yun still felt a little pity. He sighed: "The emperor's heart is too cruel."

"Master, what are you saying?" Huang Wan was puzzled. "Zhang Xi is to blame for all this. Your Majesty and I have not given him a chance to change his ways. It is because he does not cherish it. How can we say that His Majesty is cruel?"

?”

Seeing that Wang Yun didn't answer, Huang Wan expressed the doubts he had been having these past few days: "Master, I don't think your Majesty is a mediocre ruler. If you are allowed to rule personally, you will definitely have hope for revival. Why do you bother to obstruct everything and put yourself at risk?"

Are you going against His Majesty and letting them take advantage of it?"

There were so many grievances and conflicts between Wang Yun and the emperor that it has become a knot that is difficult to untie.

He did not want to lower his face and serve the emperor at this time, not only because of his stubborn and tough character, but also because of the group of scholars with ulterior motives behind him. But how could he talk to Huang Wan about these things?

Huang Wan was a pure minister and had little connection with the Guandong scholars. On the contrary, he was promoted by the Hongnong Yang family many times during his official career. How could such a person easily know the interests between Wang Yun and the Guandong scholars?

"Your Majesty is indeed smarter than ordinary people, but Emperor Xiaoling is studious and thoughtful. He can't be said to be unintelligent. He just crowds around and cannot express his talents." Wang Yun said slowly, looking away from Huang Wan: "Your Majesty is still there?

I am young and easily deceived by wealth. If I don’t have capable ministers to assist me, no matter how smart I am, it will be useless. That’s why I want to ask your majesty to invite a great scholar to study. I will first familiarize myself with political affairs and wait for your majesty to be crowned in two years.

It's not too late to take charge of the government personally, but it's a pity that Your Majesty is too eager."

Huang Wan sighed silently. At this time, he didn't know who was right or wrong between the emperor and Wang Yun. In fact, both parties seemed to have fallen into a vicious circle of paranoia. No matter how difficult it was to recover, no one was willing to give in. They just refused to give in.

Just a trace of decency left.

"The emperor obviously won't let Tingwei intervene in Zhang Xi's matter. It seems that he is destined to be unable to be protected." Wang Yun looked at the bamboo forest outside the curtain and suddenly turned his head and said, "Lü Bu is a general of the guard and controls the imperial army.

It is our duty to have strict restrictions in the palace. Now that something like this has happened, it is not too late to mend the situation. I have asked Lu Bu to write a letter asking for the replacement of the palace guards, and then select the best soldiers to enter the palace. I will be safe.

The emperor is safe."

Huang Wan was immediately shuddered. This was undoubtedly placing guards around the emperor. What did Wang Yun want to do by doing this? He answered: "Your Majesty is determined to reform the military system and will never agree to it."

"The recruitment of elite soldiers and strong generals into the Northern and Southern armies does not conflict with His Majesty's reform of the military system. It can also comply with His Majesty's wishes and reorganize the guards and the Northern Army, Yu Lin, and Hu Ben. Your Majesty has no reason to refuse." Wang Yun said flatly.

Huang Wan knew that the reason why Wang Yun asked Lu Bu to come forward directly instead of himself was purely to use Lu Bu and the army behind him to hint the emperor and put pressure on the emperor. But what is the difference between Wang Yun's doing this and Dong Zhuo? Moreover, the emperor is now becoming more and more powerful.

, in this kind of matter, Lu Bu may not be given face.

Before he could express his doubts, Wang Yun revealed another piece of news that shocked him even more: "Dong Zhuo's remaining troops, Li Jue, Guo Si and others, gathered the remnant soldiers and will submit a letter to Shaanxi County asking for pardon. I
