In the General's Mansion, Wen Zhao listened to Cheng Yu's report and was restless for a long time.

Staining people's names and killing the whole family, maybe he never thought that he would do this kind of thing one day.

Thinking of the two children smiling and dying, an indescribable feeling of guilt filled my heart irrepressibly.

Thinking of the students who swore to petition to the death at the gate of the General's Mansion, thinking of the fresh lives falling in a pool of blood, Wen Zhao felt an unbearable pain in his heart.

It was only at this time that he understood how complicated politics is, and sometimes people in the court, even if they have monopolized power, they can't help themselves.

Especially in such a troubled era, he can only achieve great things by benefiting the people at the same time, supplemented by iron-blooded hands to suppress the Quartet.

Standing in Kong Rong's position, is he wrong? Kong Rong's two children and the whole family, are they guilty? Those students who came to petition and were full of enthusiasm, should they really die?

No, they are not wrong, they are not guilty, and they do not deserve to die.

But the mistake is that they should not have participated in a brutal political struggle at this sensitive time. If you are involved, you will inevitably become a victim.

Cheng Yu stood aside, looked at the struggling look on Wen Zhao's face, and sighed slightly.

He has followed Chen Xu for so long, how can he not know the character of his master? However, the trend of the times cannot deter the people of the DPRK and China unless they use brutal means.

It is undeniable that Cheng Yu led the armor to destroy Kong Rong, and he did have the intention of revenge on Kong Rong. However, acting like this is also a very necessary move for Wen Zhao.

He comforted softly and said, "The lord does not need to feel guilty, everyone must pay the same price for what they have done. ”

"They are completely to blame for the situation they are in."

"History has always been written by the victors, and when the lord seized the world, these people were just clowns who were using their arms as cars in vain to block the general trend of the world.

The corners of Wen Zhao's mouth pulled out an ugly cool arc, and asked, "How are the corpses of those students handled?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Their bodies have all been hung on the city wall. ”

Chen Xu asked again: "Have you notified the families of these people and asked them to come and collect the bodies?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Someone has already been sent over, and Wen You has also sent a dead soldier to find out the attitude of the family where these people are located." ”

Hearing this, Wen Zhao rubbed his brows, and then said: "If there are dissatisfied, if there are dissatisfied, they will be punished by Kong Rong and the same party, and the clan will be exterminated!" ”

Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

The really brutal political struggle is not like in the novel, which will always leave enemies and troubles for yourself.

Either he didn't kill people, as long as he raised the butcher knife, Wen Zhao didn't mind letting it be stained with blood.

In any case, Wen Zhao is a man who grew up in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and he has long been accustomed to life and death.

Although he has regret and guilt in his heart, he will not be swayed by these emotions, and he will not be soft when it is time to kill.

Now he is fundamentally different from the person who first came to the late Han Dynasty.

It can be said that this is not only a killing feast, but also Wen Zhao's use of tough methods, with piles of bones and blood, to deter those with bad intentions.

must have seen Wen Zhao's tyrannical side, and many people will be frightened when they think about going against him again, and they will not dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Cheng Yu nodded slightly, for a black-bellied and ruthless strategist, killing people and exterminating the clan was just a trivial matter.

The two chatted for a while, and Wen Zhao suddenly said: "Taiwei Yang Biao can't see the situation clearly, and he is so loyal to the Son of Heaven. Killing only Kong Rong alone may be difficult to deter all the ministers. ”

"I want to kill Yang Biao again, I don't know what Zhongde thinks?"

Hearing Wen Zhao's words, even in the cold winter, Cheng Yu felt that his back was almost wet with sweat.

He hurriedly said: "Ming Gong must not, the Yang family is a famous family of Hongnong, and its ancestor Yang Chang was an official to the prime minister when Emperor Zhao; Its ancestor Yang Bao is a famous Confucian in the world, and he lives in seclusion. ”

"More importantly, his great-grandfather Yang Zhen was an official to a lieutenant; grandfather Yang Bing, official to the captain; His father Yang Ci, the official to the Taiwei, Sikong, was named the Marquis of Jin, and was given a hussar general, and he was called Wenlie. ”

Yang Biao himself is even more famous at home, and he is a lieutenant. The fourth generation and four dukes of the Yang family, protégés and former officials are all over the world, which is by no means comparable to Kong Rong. ”

"Although Kong Rong is a descendant of a saint, there have been no prominent figures in the ancestors for several generations, so it doesn't hurt to kill him; If Ming Gong kills Yang Biao, the world's scholars will definitely be separated from Ming Gong. ”

Listening to Cheng Yu's words, Wen Zhao actually felt a sense of shock.

He knew that the Hongnong Yang clan was very prominent, but he didn't expect it to be so prominent, the fourth and fourth dukes, even compared to the fourth and third dukes of Runan Yuan, it was also better.

The connections accumulated by the Yang family for several generations are definitely an unimaginably large force. This invisible force, even Wen Zhao, whose strength is the head of the princes, does not dare to touch it easily.

After the shock, Wen Zhao's heart could not help but feel jealous.

It was only at this time that he knew why Cao Cao was afraid when he saw Yang Biao's unhappy face during the banquet when he welcomed the emperor.

He also understood why Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu without hesitation because of the chicken ribs.

The Yang clan's power is too huge, even though Cao Cao is confident that he can suppress the Hongnong Yang clan, but he also does not have confidence that his son can suppress Yang Xiu, who is extremely intelligent.

Yang Xiu's death was not only because he was clever and committed Cao Cao's taboo; The main reason is that the power behind him is too huge, so that Cao Cao feels uneasy.

Walking back and forth in the house a few times, Wen Zhao suddenly said: "Even if you can't kill Yang Biao, you can't let him continue to serve in the court." ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he often breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Chen Xu's brain would be hot and he would have to kill Yang Biao. In this way, the consequences are really unimaginable.

The dismissal of Yang Biao alone is just a trivial matter.

After finalizing Yang Biao's matter, Cheng Yu said: "Ming Gong punished Kong Rong this time and killed the petitioning students, although it can deter people with bad intentions, but the students and the world's scholars will also have a lot of complaints about it." ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he said nonchalantly: "It's not too difficult to solve this matter. You and Wen He can prepare a morning newspaper to manipulate the direction of public opinion. ”

Cheng Yu was confused and asked: "What is the morning newspaper and what is the manipulation of public opinion?" ”

As a member of the Han Dynasty, Cheng Yu naturally didn't know what a newspaper was, let alone what a sharp tool it was used to manipulate public opinion and guide the people's thinking.
