Fortunately, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had no intention of causing a third party-related disaster.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
The world has begun to become chaotic. If Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty launches the third party imprisonment at this time,
Believe it or not, all the heroes will rise up in a matter of minutes?
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty, it greatly shook the foundation of the imperial court.
What is the foundation of the imperial court?
That is land and population and prestige.
Let’s not talk about his prestige for the moment. After this chaos, many people have seen the true and false nature of the imperial court.
Today's imperial court probably can no longer fully control the world.
This means that prestige is lost.
The second is land and population. Who actually benefits from the Yellow Turban chaos?
It is neither the court nor the people, but those powerful and powerful families.
After this chaos, they not only gained more population and land, but also gained the power to recruit troops blatantly.
If you have land and a population, you don't have to pay taxes or pay less, and you have your own military strength, isn't this just a prince?
The vassal towns in later generations were no more like this.
Human rights, financial power, and military power. With these three powers in hand, who else is there to be afraid of?
After Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty vented his anger for a while, he stopped.
After this catharsis, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty regained his calm and rationality.
"Cao Song, I don't care what plans you have in your mind. Now quickly find Chen Yuan for me and give you an hour. I'll find you within an hour. I forgive you. Otherwise, you, a great farmer, will be like this."
There’s no need to pawn, go back to your hometown.”
Cao Song was a fan of officials, otherwise historically he would not have spent 100 million yuan to buy a lieutenant.
When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said this, there was no need to delay.
"Brother Wei Kao (Cui Lie's name), please come with me."
With that said, Cao Song gave Cui Lie a big salute with sincere eyes.
Although Cui Lie secretly hated Cao Song for causing him trouble, Cui Lie decided to endure it when he thought of Cao Song's background.
Besides, the relationship between the two of them is pretty good on weekdays.
Cui Lie sighed: "Your Majesty, Rong Chen will temporarily retire."
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty snorted coldly and said nothing.
But the meaning is obvious, hurry up and get out.
Cao Song and Cui Lie left the main hall and hurried to the prison of the Tingwei Department.
On the way, Cao Song asked Cui Lie: "Brother Wei Kao, you didn't punish Chen Yuan?"
Cui Lie said angrily: "I am not a cruel official, how can I torture at will?"
It is true that Cui Lie did not impose any punishment, but the actual reason was not what he said about being cruel to officials.
The real reason is that many of the prisoners in the jails of the Tingwei Department are party members.
Although Cui Lie is not a party member, he has sympathy for party members.
Regardless of his reputation or his own heart, Cui Lie would naturally not torture them.
Hearing what Cui Lie said, Cao Song couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
If Chen Yuan was tortured and let the emperor see it, then he, the great minister, would really be gone.
Do you think Cao Song is short of money?
No shortage.
Lack of power?
In fact, there is no shortage.
Because he inherited the title of his father Cao Teng.
Cao Teng is the Marquis of Feiting.
…
So Cao Song was also the Marquis of Feiting.
Where is Feiting?
Within the Liang Kingdom of Yuzhou.
This Liang State was originally Dang County.
It is the place where Mangdang Mountain is located where Liu Bang killed the snake in his uprising. This is also the place where Chen Sheng’s bones are buried.
Therefore, the place where Liu Bang killed the snake and revolted was not chosen randomly. It was chosen at the burial place of Chen Sheng, which would not have meant inheriting Chen Sheng's ambition.
The name of Cao Wei's country also comes from this fiefdom.
Because Cao Cao also inherited the title of Marquis Fei Ting.
This place belonged to the Wei State during the Warring States Period.
Therefore, after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, the country's name was naturally Wei.
The same is true for Sun Quan's State of Wu, because Sun Quan's hometown was Fuchun, Wu County.
Wu Jun was the State of Wu in ancient times.
Generally speaking, if a person establishes a country and calls himself an emperor, the name of the country is usually determined by his title or the country where his hometown belongs to in ancient times.
This theoretical system has a deep foundation.
This is because the princes and states in the world entrusted by the Emperor of Zhou all have good luck.
Whichever country you inherit is the country you inherit the destiny of in ancient times.
Only in this way can the country's destiny be profound and the country's fortune be long-lasting.
This is not the grass-headed king.
Those who rebelled like peasants did not pay attention to this and just shouted randomly.
What about the King of Fantian, King of Splitting the Earth, King of Chuang, King of Shun, King of Yongyi, King of Zhang, etc.
These look like grass-headed kings at first glance, and they probably won’t last long.
In this era, there will also be a strange person who establishes his own country and proclaims himself emperor.
Jianguo Zhongshi.
This weirdo is Yuan Shu.
Naturally, such a strange national title cannot last long, without any background or luck.
Cao Song lacked nothing, he just liked being an official and making money.
Being an official is a channel and way for him to make money.
If he is not allowed to be an official, how can he make money? This is not possible.
Therefore, Cao Song is more nervous about Chen Yuan than anyone else now.
As for venting your anger on your own son?
Compared to my son, he is still cute with little money.
Yes, Cao Song was such a money-obsessed person, otherwise when Cao Cao raised an army and asked him for money, he would not have refused to give it to him, but would have recommended his son to find Wei Zi.
Poor Wei Zi, who has a sharp eye, it seems that Cao Cao is a successful man. He helped Cao Cao recruit thousands of soldiers and spent most of his family wealth.
If he doesn't die suddenly, he can definitely become a senator on Cao Cao's side, and at least the title of Tinghou is indispensable.
Of course, although he died early and did not enjoy this benefit, his son did.
Wei Zhen, the son of Wei Zi, was promoted to the title of Marquis of Changyuan. He was given the title of Special Advancement and was promoted to the Third Division. He died of illness at home and was given the title of Taiwei, with the posthumous title of Jing.
It can be said that he was prominent and died a good death, and he did not forget that the old Wei family made such great efforts to help Cao Cao.
There was no words all the way, and the two of them soon arrived at the prison of Tingwei Department. If a jailer came forward to salute, Cui Lie waved his hand: "How is the man who was sent here a few days ago doing now?"
Although Cui Lie did not impose any punishment, he could not guarantee that the guards would not torture the prisoners.
The guards who guard the prison are not many good people.
It is also common to torture prisoners for fun.
It's not that Cui Lie didn't know about this kind of thing, but it was inevitable.
…
Even if Cui Lie is a court captain, it is impossible to completely prohibit it.
When the jailer heard what Tingwei said, he was secretly glad.
Fortunately, I was very good at these tricks, and I had already seen that the young master was not a simple person.
During these days, not only did he not abuse him, but he was treated kindly.
Of course, the jailer definitely did not care about Chen Yuan's use of money.
The reason is that our eyes are poisonous and we can see that this young master is a big shot.
The jailer quickly replied: "Reporting to the Tingwei, the young master is now safe and sound in the prison."
The jailer's answer was very cunning.
He only said that he was staying well in prison, but did not say what the specific situation was.
This is also the way for little people to survive.
When Cui Lie and Cao Song heard this answer, most of their worries were relieved.
Cui Lie rarely patted the jailer: "Very good, you are very good. I will remember you."
With that said, no matter how surprised the soldier was, the two of them arrived outside Chen Yuan's cell.
Signing to the jailer to open the cell door, Cui Lie and Cao Song kept their airs: "Chen Yuan, your matter is over. Come out with us."
Chen Yuan was discussing a law with Ying Shao at this time. He heard a voice and looked up.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan was happy.
"Youha, isn't this Da Si Nong? Why, are you letting me out?"
Cao Song's expression was not good-looking: "Chen Yuan, I, my lord, will no longer care about your offense against me. You can go out now."
Who is Chen Yuan?
It's better than a monkey when it's stained with hair.
At this time, when he saw Cao Songlai taking the initiative to let him out, he knew what must have happened?
So who could make Cao Song want to let him out in such a hurry?
Well, there is no one except the emperor.
So, does the emperor want to see him?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan showed a smile on his face: "Da Sinong, and this one, I don't know how to call them?"
Cui Lie said with a slightly arrogant tone: "I am Tingwei Cui Lie."
Oh, Cui Lie.
He's the one who spent money to buy Situ.
Hey, the two people who bought an official position actually got together. What a fate.
Chen Yuan glanced at the two of them with an incomprehensible look, which made them feel hairy all over.
After a while, Chen Yuancai said: "That's not the truth. You locked me in for no reason, and now you want to let me out for no reason? Is this how your court office handles things? Or do you think I am Chen Yuan?
Is he someone who is easy to bully? Do you think my 100,000-strong army in Jingzhou is just a decoration? Let me tell you, if you think so, you are wrong."
"You don't want me to leave without giving you an explanation? Just dream."
After saying that, Chen Yuan closed the cell with a clang, and without looking at the ugly faces of Cao Song and Cui Lie, he started discussing with Ying Shao again.
Cao Song and Cui Lie looked extremely ugly and felt extremely depressed.
A court lieutenant and a chief minister were both important ministers of the imperial court, and both were ranked among the ninth ministers.
Why would anyone give them such a look?
They were so angry that they almost wanted to sentence Chen Yuan to let him know how powerful the Tingwei Department Prison was.
But when they thought of the emperor's words, the two calmed down.
…
Although the Emperor is no longer as ruthless and decisive as before in recent years, the murderous nature in his heart has not disappeared.
If the two of us really made the emperor angry today, we would still have to shed our skin even if we didn't die.
This is not to scare people. There are quite a few people who have died at the hands of today's emperor.
Therefore, Cao Song and Cui Lie looked at each other and could only look at Chen Yuan with suppressed anger: "Chen Zichu, please tell me how to get out."
Chen Yuan was just testing the situation because he couldn't know the situation outside in the prison. He just guessed that maybe the emperor wanted to see him.
Now seeing the attitudes of the two of them, Chen Yuan was convinced.
The emperor wants to see him, otherwise the two of them would not be so willing to compromise.
If Chen Yuan misses such a great opportunity, it will be a disaster.
No wonder the imperial court has no treasures.
There are good things in the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Tingwei.
Especially in the Imperial Office, there are not too many people who understand the law.
Although there is no shortage of top legal experts in Jingzhou now, some middle-level legal talents are still in great need.
These officials in the Tingwei Department are very suitable.
If you don't take away a few, how can you afford to go to jail for once?
However, before extorting money, the problem with Ying Shao should be solved first.
"Lord Tingwei, if you want me to go out, it's not impossible, but you have to agree to a few conditions?"
Cui Lie was also angry: "Chen Zichu, don't go too far. Who do you think our Tingwei Department is? How dare you negotiate terms with me? Are you not afraid that you won't be able to get out of the prison in Tingwei Department?"
Regarding Cui Lie's threat, Chen Yuan was not afraid at all: "Oh, it seems that Lord Tingwei hasn't recognized the situation yet, so whatever, I'll just stay in the prison of Tingwei Department for a few more days. I'm not in a hurry anyway.
"
With that said, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged on the straw mat on the ground this time, looking as if he was about to live in this prison forever.
When Cui Lie saw this, his eyes turned red with anger.
Not a son of man.
Cao Song saw the clues, so he wasn't angry anymore.
"Chen Yuan, it seems that you have noticed something. In this case, let's be honest. How do you want to go out and tell us your conditions? If we can agree, we will agree. If we really can't, even if
No matter how hard you try, there's nothing we can do."
Cao Song's words directly showed the attitude of a bachelor.
This time it was hard for Chen Yuan to continue pretending.
That's fine, it saves trouble if you make it clear.
"Da Sinong is open and bright, if that's the case, then let's be honest."
"You are so eager to let me out. Does the emperor want to summon me?"
Cui Lie's expression changed, but Cao Song's expression did not change, because he had already guessed that Chen Yuan might know.
Cao Song nodded: "Yes, it is precisely because the emperor wants to see you that we are anxious for you to go out and follow us to the palace."
Chen Yuan smiled: "Since Da Sinong is so sincere, then I, Chen Yuan, am not a bad person. However, Da Sinong, Tingwei, I, Chen Yuan, must have been imprisoned after all. This will always be necessary."
There is an explanation, otherwise how will I, Jingzhou, gain a foothold in front of hundreds of officials in the future, and how will I, Chen Yuan, intimidate other officials in Jingzhou, are you right?"
Cao Song nodded: "Chen Biejia is right. I should give you an explanation. Tell me, what do you want?"
Chen Yuan thought for a while and pointed his finger at Shao: "Can Duke Zhongyuan be released?"
Cao Song didn't know about Ying Shao and looked at Cui Lie.
Cui Lie looked very confused at this time: "Do you want to let Duke Zhongyuan go out?"
Chen Yuan nodded, that's right.
Cui Lie shook his head: "It's not that I won't let you go. If you want Duke Zhong Yuan to go out, you need the emperor to speak. We in the Tingwei Department don't have the courage."
Chen Yuan nodded: "It means that as long as the emperor doesn't care, the Tingwei Office can release people, right?"
Cui Lie nodded.
The first thing is settled.
"Besides what happened with Duke Zhong Yuan, the Tingwei Department also needs to give me eight officials who understand the law. The Agriculture Department also needs to give me eight officials who understand farming. Is it possible to do this?"
Chen Yuan doesn't want anything else, he just wants talents.
Because Jingzhou is also in short supply of officials who understand law and farming.
