Chapter 378 Kong Rong was arrested

Who is Xun Yu? He immediately understood that Old Man Cai was probably the gun envoy by Kong Rong, and the Bronze Mirror Seal blatantly followed and surveillance. Didn’t Kong Rong know? He must have known it, and he was isolated and obsolete by his subordinates in the Shaofu yamen. All the people who had contact with him and had disconnected from him, so he ran to Cai’s mansion to cry. Old Man Cai was caught in Kong Rong’s plan, and Old Man Cai actually knew this, but this old man just liked to meddle in other people’s business.

Xun Yu walked to Cai Yong and bowed, "Master, the officials of Kong Wenju are already clear about it. Since he entered Beijing, he has contacted old friends and ministers and officials in the court, and even dated military generals. Don't you know about this?"

"I know this, but as far as I know, Kong Wenju visited old friends in the past, not for the purpose of forming cliques. Does the court not allow officials and ministers to have daily contact? If so, what is the point of doing this official?" Cai Yong was very angry when he said this.

Xun Yu was also quite troubled when facing this old man Cai. He could only patiently persuade: "Duke Cai, the court does not prohibit officials and ministers from contacting privately, but the question is who Kong Wenju is? He was once a prince. With this, the court had enough reason to send people to stare at him! He was fine, not only did he not pay attention to avoid suspicion, but he also jumped up and down. I actually wanted to know what he had to rely on. Does he think that no one would dare to do anything to him because he was the 19th generation grandson of Confucius?"

Cai Yong said angrily: "Xun Yu, you are from a gentry family, how can you say this? I know that the current court is much better than before, but the problem is that the court only has one voice. I think it is inappropriate, and Kong Wenju also saw that it is inappropriate. If the court always has one voice, it is very terrible. So he had to contact some old friends to make different voices in the court. Who can guarantee that Liu Cheng is always right? Once he is wrong, he does not stop him, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Xun Yu sighed: "Duke Cai, do you think that only you and Kong Wenju can see it, but no one else can see it? Who doesn't know that it is inappropriate to have the voice of the Duke of Guarding in this court? After all, the Duke of Guarding is not the emperor, but even so, no one stops it. Do you think they don't want it? It's not that he doesn't want it, it's not that he dares, but that he can't!"

"Why can't it?" Cai Yong asked.

Xun Yu sighed: "Because the Han Dynasty is now divided, and the princes are eyeing each other. If the court cannot unify their ideas, cannot be tied up, and there are still people to hold back, how can the world be pacified? There are always some priorities and food must be eaten one bite after another. When the world is pacified, if someone says that the court cannot have only the voice of protecting the country, they can fight for it again!"

Cai Yong said angrily: "It will be too late to come then! At that time, Liu Cheng and his prestige and authority to pacify the world, who would dare to say something bad about him?"

Xun Yu took a deep breath and said in a questioning tone: "Duke Cai, do you really have to defeat this great man's energy before you can be willing to do so? Before the external threat is resolved, another internal problem is to destroy the Great Wall! If the Han Dynasty wants to revive, the court wants to establish authority to make the world surrender, and it must rely on protecting the Duke! Today, no one except protecting the Duke has such courage and responsibility! You are a great scholar of the world at least. Do you not even have such a broad mind or vision? Does Saint Kong tell us who is important to honor, disgrace, interests, or is the world important?"

Cai Yong immediately retorted: "Is it just for personal honor and disgrace and interests in your eyes that we are doing this for personal honor and disgrace and interests? We are worried that in the long run, Liu Cheng's prestige will endanger the imperial power. How should the emperor and the royal family handle themselves? What if Liu Cheng wants to usurp the throne? No one can stop him at that time! Unless he will impart the world now, he will never go beyond the line!"

Xun Yu took a few steps back, and his face looked extremely disappointed, "Cai Yong, you are coercion and blackmail! I would like to ask, why do you do this? What qualifications do you have to let the Duke of the National Guard do this? Anyone with a little rationality will not compromise you! Duke Cai, I think you are both a Confucian scholar, I will give you a last word of advice. Go back and tell Kong Wenju to be honest and stop to trouble again. If he continues like this, there will be no good results! I am not far away, please give it away!"

Cai Yong shook his sleeves and got onto the carriage with a cold face, and the carriage left immediately.

Xun Yu looked at Cai Yong's carriage leaving, and his face showed a sense of worry. He thought for a while and ordered to his servants: "Go and call Gongda over!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xun You was much older than Xun Yu, but Xun You was a nephew, while Xun Yu was an uncle. Xun Yu asked him to come, so he had to come.

Xun You quickly rushed to Xun Yu's mansion and saluted to Xun Yu and said, "I heard that my uncle is looking for me?"

Xun Yu asked Xun You to sit down and said, "The court has not been very peaceful these days. Since Kong Wenju came to Chang'an and took office as the Shaofu, the originally calm court has begun to cause trouble. I am very worried about this! I am worried that the good situation in the court will be out of control because of this. In this way, my efforts will be in vain!"

Xun You bowed and said, "It's winter now, so the princes of Guandong have no movement. They either hide in bed and play with women or are played with women. Since there is no threat outside the court, some people are bored and have to make trouble internally and fight time. This is normal! I don't think my uncle has to worry too much, the lord can control the situation! What my uncle is worried about is nothing more than that Kong Wenju will do too much, and he may have big trouble. He is one of the nine ministers. If he doesn't have the lord's instructions, he will arrest him. If the lord blames him in the future, the lord will not be able to afford to be guilty!"

Li Rudao: "You just do this matter. If something happens, I will take the blame. You will never let you take the blame! You were also present when the lord handed over this matter to me last time. I have the right to deal with it!"

Zhao Rui hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Okay! I'll make arrangements now!"

In less than half an hour, Kong Rong and the gang of tyrants who petitioned at the gate of the palace to let the emperor take charge of the rule were all arrested and imprisoned.
