When the news of Cai Yong being imprisoned came, the Cai Residence was in chaos.
"Xuande, what should we do?" Lady Cai brought little Cai Yan along as she cried her eyes out.
"Senior Brother." Little Cai Yan also looked at Liu Bei with eager eyes.
"Madam, Junior Sister, I will think of a way. Don't worry, Teacher will definitely be safe.”Liu Bei comforted Lady Cai and little Cai Yan.
Liu Bei was not surprised that Cai Yong had offended his superior and was imprisoned. It would have been strange if Cai Yong had not scolded Emperor Liu Hong.
Cai Yong had offended his superior, so those who had always hated him would definitely hit him when he was down and attack him together.
Fortunately, Cai Yong's life was not in danger even if it was like history. At most, he would be exiled, and his family would suffer for more than ten years.
Liu Bei sent Lady Cai and little Cai Yan to the back hall, then gave Uncle Fu and Zhang Ying some instructions before leaving the Cai Residence with Dian Wei.
Liu Bei only knew a few people in Luoyang, Xun You and Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao should be powerless, and only Xun You might be able to help.
Liu Bei had no choice but to bring Dian Wei to Xun You's residence.
"Brother Xuande." Xun You personally welcomed him at the door.
Liu Bei went straight to the point,"Brother Gongda, I'm here for you."”
"Understood. Please come in." Xun You nodded and invited Liu Bei and Dian Wei in.
"It is an indisputable fact that Mr. Bo Mang has offended his superiors. With many people adding fuel to the fire, this matter will be difficult.”Xun You knew the truth and seriousness of the matter better than Liu Bei.
Of course, this was under the condition that Liu Bei was not a transmigrator. In reality, no one knew better than Liu Bei. Not only did Liu Bei know that those guys framed Cai Yong, he also knew the direction and ending of the incident.
"Sir is upright and selfless. He is dedicated to the country and the people. He should not be framed by villains and suffer.”Liu Bei said angrily,"I don't ask Brother Gongda to come forward for you. I only ask Brother Gongda to find a way to let me enter the palace to meet the Saint."”
Others might not know, but Liu Bei knew that Xun You, who liked to play dead, had a complicated network of connections.
In history, Xun You was a powerful figure who dared to conspire to assassinate Dong Zhuo. It would not be a problem for him to find a way to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
"You want to enter the palace to meet the emperor?" Xun You was a little surprised.
Xun You had thought that Liu Bei would ask him to help Cai Yong, and even thought of using his family connections.
"Yes, I want to enter the palace to meet the Saint. Cheng Yucheng is very grateful to Brother Gongda.”It wasn't that Liu Bei didn't want to ask Xun You to deal with him, but he felt that they weren't that close yet.
"Alright, I'll do my best." Xun You readily agreed.
"No, it's a must!" "Brother Gongda, please!" Liu Bei said solemnly.”
Xun You didn't expect Liu Bei to be so eager. After a moment of silence, he said,""This evening, someone will come to bring you into the palace to meet the emperor. Remember, one person. Remember, if things can't be done, don't force yourself.”
"Thank you, Brother Gongda." Liu Bei bowed and left with Dian Wei.
Xun You sent Liu Bei and the other two out of the door, shaking his head and muttering to himself,""This fellow is really a person of character.”
Perhaps Liu Bei did not know that every big family would have their own long-term plans. They would set up spies in many key departments or various forces, and would only activate them when the family needed them.
Some spies would lurk for years or decades, while others might never be activated.
The Xun Family was a big family with many talents. The spies they had set up would be distributed to the outstanding people in the family.
Xun You only had a few spies. This time, because Liu Bei wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor, he had to activate one of the important spies.
In this aspect, Xun You was absolutely loyal to Liu Bei.
For some reason, Xun You had a good impression of Liu Bei from the moment he saw him. He felt that Liu Bei was a person worth befriending. This was a very mysterious feeling. It had nothing to do with Liu Bei's ability to write poems or his astonishing speech.
Of course, for Liu Bei to be so angry with Xun You for Cai Yong's sake, Xun You was extremely appreciative of his affectionate and righteous performance.
Most importantly, in Xun You's opinion, Liu Bei was a potential stock worth investing in. Xun You was one of the few wise men in the world. He had a unique vision and insight.
……
In the evening, Eunuch Wang, who was in front of Emperor Liu Hong, came to the Cai Residence. He was ordered by Emperor Liu Hong to let Liu Bei enter the palace to meet the Emperor.
Liu Bei really didn't know how Xun You did it, so he could only admire Xun You.
Liu Bei brought Dian Wei with him, carrying a set of mahjong tiles, and followed Eunuch Wang out of the Cai Residence to meet the emperor again.
Before entering the palace, Liu Bei had Dian Wei wait outside the palace while he followed Eunuch Wang to a place called An Le Palace in the North Palace.
Eunuch Wang said to Liu Bei at the gate of An Le Palace,""Lord Marquis, go in yourself. His Majesty is inside.”
Liu Bei took out the money he had prepared and gave it to Eunuch Wang, saying,""Thank you, Lord Wang.”
Eunuch Wang accepted the money, nodded, and said in a low voice,""I know that Lord Marquis has come for Lord Cai. Lord Cai did not make any major mistakes, but he offended someone.”
After Eunuch Wang finished speaking, he left silently without waiting for Liu Bei's reaction. It was as if he had not said anything.
"Haha, what a wonderful person." Liu Bei smiled. At the same time, he knew that there were no simple people in this palace.
There was a saying that accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. Those who could live well by the emperor's side all had their own uniqueness.
Liu Bei calmed himself down and pushed open the ajar palace door. He saw the Emperor Liu Hong and Zhang Rang playing chess. There was no one else in the hall.
"Liu Bei, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Is there anything good?”Without waiting for Liu Bei to pay his respects, Emperor Liu Hong looked at Liu Bei with a faint smile.
"Brother Emperor, after my brother and Mister Bo Meng's hard work, the mahjong has finally been completed.”Liu Bei opened his eyes wide and spoke nonsense.
"Hand it over." Liu Hong waved his hand, and Liu Bei swiftly handed over a full set of mahjong tiles.
Originally, Liu Bei was only prepared to present the mahjong set with only ten thousand tiles. However, considering that Cai Yong's life was hanging by a thread, he still brought the set of mahjong tiles over.
"Hualala!" It was a loud bang, and the set of mahjong tiles, which had more than a hundred pieces, fell on the table where they had been playing chess.
"Wow, so many!" Liu Hong exclaimed, his eyes shining."This will definitely be fun! Tell me, how do we play?"
Was it fun to have so many?
Liu Bei didn't understand the logic behind Emperor Liu Hong's words, but it was fun.
"Brother Emperor, this is a set of mahjong tiles. As for how to play it, it's really complicated.”Liu Bei scratched his head and said," Because it was a strange object that was given to me in a dream by a god, my younger brother also made it while recalling the rules and playing methods of mahjong. At the same time, Mr. Bo Meng recorded it."”
"Is that so?" "What about the rules and gameplay of the record?" Liu Hong asked. Let me see. I don't believe it can be that complicated.”
"Brother Emperor, the rules and the rules are with Mister Bo Meng.”Liu Bei said helplessly,""Chen Younger Brother said three days and three nights, even if you say it all, you can't say it all. You have to play according to the rules and rules.”
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense. Don't think that I don't know that you're here for Cai Yong.”Liu Hong raised his eyebrows and said,"Give me a reason. I don't mind letting Cai Yong go immediately."”
"Brother Emperor commands the world, strategizes, and decides victory over thousands of miles. He's wise and divine. Teacher is just a bookworm.”Liu Bei didn't want to talk big, so he just took a photo.
"Liu Bei, do you know what Cai Yong did?”Liu Hong touched the mahjong tiles with one hand and tapped the table with the other.
Emperor Liu Hong was a fool, but he wasn't stupid at all. He knew all of this very well. The fact that Liu Bei was able to send a message through someone he trusted showed many things.
As for how to deal with Cai Yong, this was not a problem. What Liu Hong considered was what Liu Bei could really give him.
Liu Bei said innocently,"Brother Emperor, if you want to punish someone, you have no excuse."”
It was true that Cai Yong had offended his superiors and hindered others, but it was an exaggeration to say that his crime was enough to put him in prison or abandon him in the city. This was obviously someone fanning the flames.
