Chapter 566

Chang'an

Prime Minister's Mansion (Qin Wang Mansion)

Looking at the silent Seeing Xun You, Gu Yi shook his head slightly and sighed:

"Xun Gongda, you are a smart man."

"But... since you are a smart man, why can't you see through some obvious truths?"

After these words fell.

The expression on Seeing Xun You's face did not change.

In his heart, from the moment he was captured, he had already prepared to be killed by Gu Yi.

It's just that Seeing Xun You felt a bit guilty toward Guo Jia.

If it weren't for his stubbornness, how could Guo Jia have been captured because of him?

However.

Seeing Xun You clearly did not understand the meaning contained in Gu Yi's words.

He saw him lift his head and say:

"Gu Linzhi, do whatever you want."

"I, Xun Gongda, am definitely not a coward."

"Hahahaha, Xun Gongda, if you really died, how would you avenge your father's hatred?"

Gu Yi's sudden laughter left Seeing Xun You stunned in place.

He never expected that Gu Yi would suddenly mention the matter of "Xun Yi's death."

To this day, this matter has passed for more than twenty years.

As everyone knows, Seeing Xun You is the nephew of Seeing Xun Yu.

Although Seeing Xun You is six years older than Seeing Xun Yu.

But Seeing Xun Yu's generation is at the same level as Seeing Xun You's father, Xun Yi.

And when Xun Yi passed away, Seeing Xun Yu was only three years old.

Seeing Xun You was only nine years old.

The death of his father, Xun Yi, has always been a thorn in Seeing Xun You's heart that is difficult to remove.

And in Seeing Xun You's view, the person who killed his father was Dong Zhuo.

Back then, Xun Yi served as the Administrator of Yingchuan, and his career was at its peak.

But Yingchuan, which had always had good public order, suddenly erupted into an unprecedented rebellion.

In order to wipe out the rebel army, Xun Yi had to ask for help from Runan, the seat of Yuzhou.

Coincidentally, Dong Zhuo was stationed in Runan with an army at that time.

After receiving Xun Yi's plea for help, the Administrator of Runan dispatched Dong Zhuo to lead troops to support Yingchuan.

Dong Zhuo was indeed a good hand at fighting.

Soon, he pacified the rebellion in Yingchuan.

Seizing the opportunity to make a contribution, his official rank was promoted by three levels in a row.

But... Dong Zhuo had only just led his troops away from Yingchuan.

Immediately after, the remnants of the rebel army that had already been wiped out killed their way out again.

Moreover, this group of rebel remnants acted as if they had gone crazy, constantly attacking the Yingchuan prefectural city.

Seeing Xun You's father, Xun Yi, also died in battle under the rebel army's charge.

Later, although Dong Zhuo led his troops back, he still could not save Xun Yi from death.

The appearance of these rebel remnants seemed very strange.

Because in Dong Zhuo's original victory report, all the rebel troops had been annihilated.

Logically speaking, there should not be any rebel forces appearing in Yingchuan territory.

But this rebel army just appeared and killed Xun Yi.

The rebel army was not dozens or hundreds of people, but thousands!

Such a large team, if they wanted to hide, should have been very difficult.

In other words.

These rebel remnants were clearly left behind by Dong Zhuo on purpose.

Linking this to their behavior of constantly attacking the Yingchuan prefectural city.

The more one looks at it, the more one feels that Xun Yi's death was precisely a plan orchestrated by Dong Zhuo!

And why did Dong Zhuo want to execute Xun Yi?

Because Xun Yi was quite rigid.

He believed that promotions should follow the rules and be promoted level by level slowly.

If a special case was suddenly made for someone, how would the remaining officials view this matter?

At that time, it would inevitably cause a series of bad influences.

Therefore, Xun Yi always held a firm opposing attitude toward Dong Zhuo's promotion by three levels for pacifying the rebellion.

Dong Zhuo was originally a "capricious" border person, so it is reasonable that he held a grudge and killed Xun Yi.

The above inference is the inference of most scholars, including Seeing Xun You.

For years, Seeing Xun You was full of hostility toward Dong Zhuo, this "father-killing enemy."

But obviously, he was alone and could not kill Dong Zhuo, who was increasingly holding a pivotal position in the Han imperial court.
