I have to say that Wei Ji's counterattack was very powerful.
Liu Xie really couldn't come up with evidence, let alone prove it.
Originally, Wang Yi and Yang Biao were all witnesses, but Wang Yi was the first to defend Wei's cliché. If Yang Biao could escape unscathed, it would be unlikely that Wei's rebellion would be possible.
If Wei Gu was willing to give up, he would really have no way to kill Wei.
The master came from Wuming, and even if he was the emperor, he could not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Xun You should have thought of this a long time ago, so he reminded him not to fall into Guo Tu's plan.
Guo Tu wanted to anger him, hoping that he would start a massacre without sufficient reason, turning the legitimate counter-rebellion into unreasonable massacres, arousing fear and opposition from more large clans, and forcing those people to support Yuan Shao.
After understanding this, he also understood the meaning of Xun You taking the plan.
"Have the Wei clan rebelled?" Liu Xie said in confusion.
"The Wei family has not rebelled." Wei Ji was determined. "Ji came to see the emperor. He was ordered by Wei Gu, the father of the clan. Please let Your Majesty observe clearly."
Liu Xie nodded, slowed down his face, and then asked again: "Since that's the case, I will give him a chance to defend himself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Ji hurriedly thanked him.
He was also a little surprised to achieve his goal so smoothly.
However, when he saw Cai Yan sitting aside and wearing official uniforms, he felt relieved.
Cai Yan probably helped.
Liu Xie turned to look at Xun You. "Gongda, according to the etiquette, should Wei Gu come to see you, or..."
Xun You bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rebellion is a serious crime. Those who commit it will be punished by the clan. Wei Gu was told by others, regardless of whether he was guilty or not, he should go to the court guard to defend himself, instead of sending a junior to see him, just a few words of defense.
Get out of it.”
He turned to Wei Ji, his eyes became sharp. "Are you bullying the emperor's young and unfamiliar with the imperial system, or do you want to use a slowdown?"
Wei Ji was shocked. "Why did you say this?"
"Why did you say this? Grand Marshal Yang Gong was ordered to appease Hedong. If you say as you said, Wei's family not only did not rebel, but instead had the merit of helping, but was just falsely accused of others. With just the words of Grand Marshal, Wei's family can be washed away
If you get rid of the charge, why do you have to ask for a meeting with a commoner? Where is the Grand Marshal?"
"This..." Wei Ji stumbled, not knowing how to explain for a moment.
He came to see him on his own initiative, with the idea of being able to advance or retreat.
If it can succeed, it can save the Wei family and will have a high status in the Wei family in the future.
If you cannot succeed, you can clear your responsibilities and don’t have to be buried with Wei Gu.
But Xun You's words broke his fantasy.
Compared to him, Yang Biao is more suitable to defend Wei's family.
The emperor has arrived, and Yang Biao has not appeared yet. There is only one possibility: he has lost his freedom of movement and may even be killed.
In other words, the point of limiting Yang Biao's freedom is enough to prove that the Wei family's unofficial is by no means groundless, and his defense is also suspected of deceiving the emperor.
Even if the emperor is tolerant and punishes him without distinguishing right from wrong, the crime of being deceived by others is light.
Xun You turned around and bowed to Liu Xie. "All under the sky is the king's land; and all the king's ministers are the king's ministers. Your Majesty is coming to Hedong, and all the subjects in Hedong should welcome him, leading sheep and offering wine to the king's army. Wei Gu stayed in his door and refused to
If you leave, even if you have no intention of treason, it is not a courtesy of a minister. I ask you to summon Wei Gu to punish him. If Wei Gu does not come, you should use force to confront him to face him."
Liu Xie followed the trend and said, "It should be like this. Wei Ji, go back. I will give you half an hour. If you can't see Taiwei and Wei Gu within half an hour, even if I am willing to believe you, I will not be able to convince the civil and military.
I can only order an attack. By then, all the jades and stones will be burned and it will be too late to regret it."
Wei Ji did not dare to say much, and sued him and retreated.
Liu Xie was very satisfied.
Regardless of whether Xun You's attitude towards the Hedong clan was different from him, the cooperation just now was very tacit.
Compared with most people, Wei Ji can be considered neither humble nor arrogant, brave and resourceful.
Compared with Xun Youyi, who dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he was just a scumbag and had no power to fight back.
"Gongda, what if Wei Gu doesn't come?"
"Turn the imperial edicts of all counties to jointly attack the Wei family."
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment before he realized what Xun You meant.
It turns out that the fewer words, the bigger the matter.
Xun You made a big picture of reversing the situation in just one sentence or eight words.
Before Wei Ji could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Gu.
The more Wei Gu read, the more he felt that Wei Ji was a fool and had a brain problem.
But he did not say it out loud, and thought for a moment, and said earnestly: "What Bo Ru said is naturally ritual. It is just that the Taiwei is in good health, and the frost is heavy at night, so it is not advisable to move lightly. It is better for Bo Ru to go there again and speak to me about the Emperor's words.
, please let him let me go all night, and tomorrow morning, I will send the Grand Marshal to see him. How about it?"
Wei Ji also understood it clearly. Wei was stubborn and deliberately delayed time.
In any case, you can no longer stand with such a person.
"If my uncle is sincere, I will naturally not mind going there again. It's just that the king and his subjects are polite. Your Majesty arrives. Even if my uncle is uneasy and cannot go out to greet him personally, he should serve sheep wine to feast the army."
Wei Guhun didn't care. "I'm ready for this, and I'll send it out later. I'd like to ask Boru to say a few good words in front of the emperor and let me reflect on myself."
Wei Ji agreed and turned around to say goodbye.
After leaving the main courtyard, Wei Ji followed the people to get the prepared food, cattle, sheep, wine and meat. At the same time, he quietly ordered people to go back to his yard, let his wife and concubines clean up, and let him go out of the village with him.
The Wei family manor has become a dangerous place and cannot be left to stay.
Half an hour later, Wei Ji came to the emperor's camp again and asked to see him.
This time, he not only brought food to reward the emperor's army, but also his wives and concubines.
He has been married for many years, has a wife and a concubine, and has no children.
When he is middle-aged, he has no biological bloodline, which is one of the reasons why he is not highly valued in the Wei family.
After asking the emperor again, Wei Ji reported the negotiations with Wei Gu truthfully and said that he had done his best.
He could not guarantee whether Wei Gu rebelled or not, but he was sure to be loyal to the court and was willing to take his body as his qualities.
Liu Xie had to admit that it was reasonable for Wei Ji to become a key figure in the rise of the Wei clan in Hedong.
This alertness alone has exceeded countless people.
As for stupid people like Wei Gu, they can only be exploited. No matter which camp he joins, they will not survive for three episodes.
With his hands raised, Liu Xie could only accept Wei Ji's loyalty, and he also treated him with courtesy and became the Minister of Shangshu.
Otherwise, no one would be willing to be loyal in the future.
While treating Wei Ji with courtesy, Liu Xie ordered people to bring Wang Yi, the prefect of Hedong.
Wang Yi was imprisoned for more than half a month, and his body was almost broken, from his spirit to his body.
After listening to Wei Ji's narration, Wang Yi was stunned for a long time, slowly sat up, and knelt in front of Liu Xie.
"I have eyes but no beads, but Wei Gu, and Fan Xian deceived him. He was guilty of death and death."
"No man can be without mistakes. If one is not a sage, he can make mistakes. If he can make mistakes, he will be able to make mistakes. "Liu Xie said lightly: "I will give you a chance to atone for your sins."
Wang Yi slowly raised his head, and two lines of turbid tears came out. "Your Majesty is merciful, I am ashamed of myself. If I can make up for it, I will never refuse."
