Chapter 25 Speculation
Emperor?

Shi Sun Rui pondered it carefully.

"What Master Zi is referring to, could it be the Emperor's thunderous wrath at today's court meeting?"

Wang Yun nodded, but also shook his head slightly.

"Master Zi, this is not surprising. The emperor must have been oppressed by Dong Zhuo and was depressed for a while, so he took advantage of Dong Zhuo's absence to vent his anger."

"Those words spoken at the emperor's court helped Jia Xu to successfully issue the decree, but they also revealed the fact that he was at odds with Dong Zhuo. We must not let this great opportunity go unanswered!"

The current emperor is just a teenager. What strategies can he have?
Shisun Rui just regarded today's incident as a coincidence and didn't think it was a big deal.

Wang Yun held the bamboo slips and after thinking for a while, he did not refute Shisun Rui, but just nodded slightly.

"No matter what, the emperor has already said some of these things in the court, so it is impossible for the world to pretend that they did not happen."

"Besides, the fact that Dong Zhuo did not attend the court meeting today is itself extremely strange... No one knows what Dong Zhuo did in the Weiyang Palace."

When Shi Sun Rui heard that Wang Yun didn't know what Dong Zhuo was doing, he asked in confusion, "Master Zi, didn't you plant spies among the warriors guarding the palace? How come you can't grasp what's going on in the palace now?"

When this matter was mentioned, Wang Yun sighed again.

"On the day Dong Zhuo moved into the Weiyang Palace, he ordered his son-in-law Niu Fu to lead the Flying Bear Army to take over the palace guard. The previous group of soldiers had already been dispatched elsewhere."

The Feixiong Army was Dong Zhuo's most elite force, most of whom were from Dong Zhuo's hometown and county. There were even quite a few members of Dong Zhuo's clan and wife's clan who served as school officers.

It would be fine for Wang Yun to interfere with ordinary armies, but to interfere with the Feixiong Army would be too much of a challenge for him.

"Dong the thief really cherishes his life!"

Shisun Rui had no choice but to curse Dong Zhuo again.

"But... I don't think that thief would do anything good!"

With just a roll of his eyes, Shisun Rui lowered his voice and said, "Dong the thief is lustful, and everyone knows it."

"Now that he has moved into the Weiyang Palace, I'm sure he has been doing all sorts of evil things in the palace! Who knows, even the noble ladies, princesses, and concubines in the palace may have fallen victim to his evil hands!"

Shisun Rui had gone completely crazy at this moment, and even started making up rumors about the royal family.

Even Wang Yun was shocked at this moment, and quickly covered Shisun Rui's mouth: "Why did Jun Rong say that? Do you know that if these words were spread outside, it would definitely damage the dignity of the royal family and the face of the court?"

Shi Sun Rui's eyes were red from crying, "Master Zi! We can ignore our reputations and endure for the sake of the country, but why can't the reputation of the Liu family be damaged in the slightest?"

"Isn't it the Liu family's world that we are saving?"

"If this statement is spread, it will damage the reputation of the Liu family, but it will also make Dong Zhuo completely lose the support of the people? Isn't it???"

Shisun Rui was dancing with excitement at this moment.

"Not only that?"

"If it were just a few noble ladies and princesses, how could the emperor dare to get angry in the court?"

Thinking of Liu Xie's handsome appearance and elegant expression, Shisun Rui suddenly had an even more arrogant idea -

"So, it's not just the lady! We can spread the word that Dong Zhuo is having an affair with someone else and give the emperor to..."

"Shi Sunrui!"

Wang Yun shouted directly and called him by his name.

Crazy! All crazy!

Wang Yun never imagined that Shisun Rui, who had played the role of a famous scholar almost all his life, would be ruined like this by an official document!

Is it really that difficult to stick to one's heart? Shisun Rui was also awakened by Wang Yun's shout and felt a little scared.

Having read books of sages all his life, Shisun Rui had no idea in what state he was in to say such words.

After feeling scared, I also felt guilty.

But after the shame, a surge of hatred burst out from the bottom of my heart.

It’s all Dong Zhuo’s fault, that Han traitor!
If it weren't for him, why would I be spewing shit like that?
If it weren't for him, how could the court have bestowed upon me the "Book of Zhou Rites"?
I am now in a state of being neither human nor ghost, all thanks to the thief Dong!
However, after all his years of cultivating his energy, Shisun Rui did not vent his anger on Wang Yun, who woke him up, but apologized to him respectfully.

"Jun Rong, I just thought you were just talking madly. Once we leave this door, both you and I will forget about this matter completely!"

"sure."

Wang Yun placed the bamboo slips in his arms on the table, sat down again, and supported his forehead with his hand.

"The face of the royal family is also the face of the imperial court."

"We endured humiliation and hardship all for the sake of reviving the Han Dynasty. You must never forget this."

"But then again..."

Wang Yun pondered for a while and began to stroke his beard: "This is indeed an opportunity to suppress Dong Zhuo. But be careful with the wording. Just say that Dong Zhuo oppressed the emperor and made him angry. Don't make up too much."

Upon hearing this, Shisun Rui nodded in agreement and did not dare to continue arguing with Wang Yun on this matter.

"also……"

Wang Yun frowned again, as if thinking of something tricky. "These past few days, I sent people to find out the details of the new Shangshu Ling Jia Xu."

"His career was not smooth, but he was suddenly appointed as Shangshu Ling by Dong Zhuo. This is really strange."

"In addition, he has indeed been working tirelessly these past few days to observe the hydrology and geography of Guanzhong, as well as the planting of grains and mulberry trees."

"If he does not help the tyrant and just does his duty, let the Shangshutai and officials at all levels go to assist him."

Shi Sun Rui didn't dare to refute just now, but now he couldn't help it.

What Jia Xu did and whether his policies really benefited the people, does it matter?
unimportant!
The important thing is that Jia Xu himself is Dong Zhuo's man!

Standpoint is far more important than meaning!
Moreover, Shisun Rui still didn't think that Jia Xu really wanted to govern Guanzhong well and care for the people of Guanzhong.

It was just that the people had been harboring resentment for a long time, which led to heavy rains in Guanzhong. The thief Dong was afraid that he had angered the gods, so he had no choice but to let Jia Xu come forward to govern Guanzhong!
With such intentions, what qualifications do you have to get my help?

However, Wang Yun's power was too great after all. Shisun Rui also understood that he had just acted arrogantly, but he did not want to offend Wang Yun.

"Master Zi, rest assured. I understand."

Wang Yun saw that Shisun Rui's madness had subsided and he had regained some consciousness, so he relaxed a little.

"Jun Rong, come here."

Older people like to reminisce about the past.

Wang Yun and Shisun Rui walked to the courtyard outside the palace and looked up at the brilliant starry sky.

"When I was young, I swore to the sun, moon and stars that I would clean up the court and restore the Han Dynasty."

"When I reach middle age, having experienced many hardships, I look at the stars again, but the youthful spirit is gone."

"But today, although I am very old, when I look up again, I still feel that I can revive the Han Dynasty!"

Wang Yun's slightly cloudy eyes reflected the stars: "This is my ambition. At the same time, it is also the expectation of the Han Dynasty!"

Although there are thousands of people, I am going alone!
