Chapter 607: The deal between two old foxes (Part 2) [1]

PS: First of all, let me say something: I've been targeted.

Whether there are problems with this book as it is written now, the readers who can see this far are clear; it can only be said that some people are just jealous.

However, it doesn't matter; I believe the website is fair and just.

Moreover, I have been writing books for so many years, and I have encountered quite a few things, big and small.

This little thing doesn't count for anything to me.

If they want to mess with me, let them mess with me; not being envied is being mediocre!

The wind and snow have pressed on me for two or three years, I smile as the wind is light and the snow is like cotton!

The more you mess with me, the more energetic I become!

Readers don't need to worry about the ending being rushed. As long as you are still here, even if I am always in the "small dark room," I will finish this book!

As long as the book is still on the bookshelf, it can be read; as long as I can update, I will update.

Starting today, until I come out of the "small dark room," I will explode with updates!

Starting today, I will explode with updates like crazy!

Here, I thank the readers who have accompanied me to this day. With you, I have achieved who I am today. Life has no shortage of hardships; push aside the clouds and see the clear sky. The roc rises with the wind for a day, soaring ninety thousand miles.

As long as these people can't kill me, as long as I come out, they will still be stepped under my feet. I only speak with strength and earn money with ability!

I've rambled so much, the main text begins. Readers, just watch and see how I explode with updates!

The candlelight in the main hall flickered.

Reflecting on the two old faces of Yang Ci and Yuan Kui.

The two, wrapped in black robes, each sat in their own positions, like two towering, immovable mountains.

Yang Ci narrowed his eyes, looking like a black old fox, looking at Yuan Kui.

Taiping Dao.

Whether the Taiping Dao had the intention to rebel, Yang Ci knew better than anyone.

For several years, he had been paying attention to the Taiping Dao.

Paying attention to Zhang Jiao.

If Zhang Jiao wanted to rebel, he probably would have taken action years ago.

There was no need to wait until now.

Tang Zhou's sudden revelation, Ma Yuanyi's sudden capture.

It was as if overnight, the Taiping Dao had been pushed out from behind the scenes by someone.

Who was operating all of this?

What was Yuan Kui's purpose in coming to his door?

"Lord Yuan... wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the eunuchs?" Yang Ci asked, weighing his words.

Yuan Kui nodded slowly and said: "The Party Prohibitions have lasted for a long time, and Lord Yang has also seen what the world has been harmed into by the eunuchs."

"Those with talent and learning cannot enter officialdom, the beautiful landscape is filled with starving people."

"The eunuchs hold the government, hold the heavy weapons, and deceive the Emperor."

"If this Great Han continues to let those eunuchs be in charge, I am afraid it will be difficult to return from the brink."

"Lord Yang, we are all old, we can't let the younger generation repeat the same mistakes."

"That Zhang Jiao gathered a crowd to rebel in Julu, shouting that the Azure Heaven is dead and the Yellow Heaven should stand, and the states and commanderies of the world are responding."

"Expecting those eunuchs to quell the rebellion is absolutely impossible."

"If the Emperor wants to suppress the rebellion, then there is only..."

When he said this, Yuan Kui stopped.

But Yang Ci understood what Yuan Kui wanted to say.

Not to mention whether the Taiping Dao had really rebelled.

But wanting to suppress it, relying on the Ten Regular Attendants in the palace was absolutely impossible.

The Great Han currently had no money, grain, or troops to suppress the rebellion.

The battle in the sixth year of Xiping had already exhausted the last elite forces of the Great Han.

If it were really as Yuan Kui said, that the states and commanderies of the world were responding, wanting to suppress the rebellion, they could only form a new army and let the various states and commanderies organize forces to suppress it.

"Lift the Party Prohibitions." Yuan Kui took a deep breath and said: "Lord Yang, this is the best time to present a memorial to the Emperor to lift the Party Prohibitions!"

Yang Ci's eyes flashed with brilliance.

That was indeed the case.

If they wanted to suppress such a large rebellion, the Emperor would inevitably have to lift the Party Prohibitions and re-employ the noble clans and scholars who had been banned by the Party Prohibitions.

"Besides that, Lord Yang can recommend two people to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, and I will also recommend two people to suppress the rebellion," Yuan Kui said.

Yang Ci took a deep breath.

This was the point.

Lift the Party Prohibitions.

Recommend candidates to suppress the rebellion.

It was conceivable that if they submitted a memorial to the Emperor tomorrow morning at the same time, asking the Emperor to lift the Party Prohibitions.

That would be equivalent to giving the favor of restriction to everyone in the world who had been banned by the Party Prohibitions.

This kind of behavior is acting as a teacher of grace.

If they were to recommend two people to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, that would be equivalent to holding the disciples and old subordinates who hold military power in their hands.

On one hand, the noble clans of the world, on the other hand, holding troops.

The two echo each other.

If they could also get rid of the eunuchs in the palace.

Then...

The heavy weapons of the world would all be in their hands.

"Lord Yang... what do you think?" Yuan Kui narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Ci.

Yang Ci took a deep breath, tightened the black robe on his body, and said: "What Lord Yuan said is not bad. This is... a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity."

"I wonder... who does Lord Yuan plan to recommend to suppress the rebellion?"

Yuan Kui seemed to have known that Yang Ci would ask this.

After Yang Ci's voice fell, he said two names: "Dong Zhuo, Zhu Jun."

"Who does Lord Yang plan to recommend?"

Yang Ci thought for a while, then said two names: "Governor of Beidi, Huangfu Song, and Minister Lu Zhi."

"Good!"

Yuan Kui nodded with a smile, then picked up the hot tea in front of him and drank it in one gulp.

Since the words had reached this point, it meant that the two had reached a consensus.

In the court, there are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.

Driven by interests, even if they were enemies yesterday, they might fight together tomorrow.

Yuan Kui left.

Only the father and son, Yang Ci and Yang Biao, were left in the room.

Yang Ci held the unfinished hot tea and drank it in small sips.

Yang Biao, who had returned from seeing Yuan Kui off, stood in front of Yang Ci.

"Father, Yuan Kui already calculated against us once in the Duan Yu matter. Now we are still going to cooperate with him?" Yang Biao looked at Yang Ci.

Yang Ci smiled softly: "Just a Duan Yu, it doesn't count for anything."

"Compared to the interests at hand, a mere Duan Yu."

"Do you know why Yuan Kui didn't say he wanted to recommend Duan Yu?" Yang Ci looked at Yang Biao and said: "This is him expressing his stance to us." ===== CHAPTER 609 =====
