The counterattack of the villains

Liu Xie was puzzled and said: "Why is this? Isn't it good to make the general Marquis Wen?"

Li Mu said solemnly: "Has Your Majesty not learned the lesson yet? The reason why the world is full of wars and endless wars is because of enfeoffing the feudal lords."

"The reason why people like Dong Zhuo appear in the world is also because of the distribution of feudal lords."

"Which dynasty in the past, Xia, Shang, and Zhou, was not destroyed by the princes?"

"So it can be seen that the national policy of enfeoffing the princes is the cause of the troubled times."

"At the end of the day, I would like to ask your Majesty to abolish the national policy of Shiyi fiefdom from today onwards. The Marquis is only used as a title of Lord to show its glory, and the Shiyi will be changed to a yearly salary."

Liu Xie was at a loss when he heard this, and subconsciously turned his attention to Wang Yunfuwan and the others.

At this time, the courtiers were full of discussions. Liu Xie was young and didn't understand many things, but they knew how beneficial Li Mu's proposal was to the court and the royal family.

After the ministers deliberated for a while, Wang Yun came out to play and said: "Your Majesty, the general's proposal will benefit the imperial court and Your Majesty without any harm. I ask Your Majesty to implement it."

Fu Wan said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Yang Biao and other courtiers said in unison: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

Seeing that all the courtiers agreed, Liu Xie also knew that Li Mu's proposal was very good, so he happily said, "If that's the case, then follow what the general said."

Li Mu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise, but the national policy of abolishing Shiyi and fiefdoms is only a small part of it."

Wang Yun hurriedly said: "I also ask the general to give you more advice, I will listen with all my ears."

Li Mu nodded, took a few steps to the side, and then turned around to face the ministers.

Although his back was also facing Liu Xie, the biggest difference was that he was standing on the side and did not block Liu Xie's view.

And he turned his body slightly, he could not only speak to the ministers, but also turn his head to look at Liu Xie at any time.

It can be said that he gave the ministers and Liu Xie the greatest respect.

Liu Xie didn't quite understand these things yet, but felt that Li Mu's position at the moment made him feel very comfortable, with the feeling that he was finally a participant in the government affairs instead of a bystander.

The ministers naturally saw more, the respect Li Mu gave them at this moment was never given by He Jin and Dong Zhuo.

So all the courtiers looked at Li Mu, not only full of gratitude, but also a little more reverence.

This is the difference between Li Mu and Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, instead of dominating the court, coercing the emperor to order the princes, making the courtiers fear him on the surface, but thinking about how to kill him all the time.

It's better to give them some respect and let them support him from the bottom of their hearts, so that he will be more comfortable in controlling the government.

Just listen to Li Mudao: "In the overall strategy set by Bu, the core four words are 'centralization of power'. Most of the power is concentrated in the court, in the hands of His Majesty."

"Only by doing this in a general direction, can we be qualified to discuss how to make the world peaceful and the country peaceful and the people safe."

Yang Biao said with bright eyes: "General Gao Lun, I don't know how we can realize the policy of centralization?"

Concentrating most of the power on the court, isn't that concentrating in the hands of important officials like them?
High theory, this motherfucker is definitely high theory, it must be high theory.

Li Mu looked at him and said, "First of all, we need to change the structure of the court. Today's system of three lords and nine ministers has the shortcomings of being messy and redundant, and the division of labor is not clear."

"Bu intends to change the structure of the court into a system of three provinces and six departments, that is, the court will be divided into three provinces: Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu. Under the three provinces, there are six departments of officials, rites, soldiers, criminals, workers, and households..."

Li Mu explained the functions of the six ministries of the three provinces in detail to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Everyone listened attentively. Following Li Mu's narration, the eyes of the officials became brighter and brighter, and they looked at Li Mu with more and more admiration.

The division of labor in the three provinces and six departments is indeed more clear, and the operation of the court is bound to be more efficient.

Most critically, it laid the groundwork for centralization.

Today's Li Mu is refreshing the courtiers' old impression of Lu Bu time and time again.

It wasn't until this time that they discovered that Lu Bu was not only unparalleled in the world in terms of force, but also acted with foresight and foresight.

After talking about the system of three provinces and six ministries, Li Mu paused for a moment, allowing the courtiers to digest and discuss.

In the end, there was no doubt that it passed unanimously again.

Then Li Mu went on to say: "The system of three provinces and six ministries is a reform aimed at the court, and then let's talk about local governance."

"For local governance, there is also a core element, which is the word 'separation of military and government'."

"In short, those who are in charge of the army are not allowed to be in charge of politics, and those who are in power are not allowed to be in charge of the army. The civil servants and military generals perform their own duties and do not belong to each other."

"Regional divisions are changed to prefectures, prefectures, and counties, and local officials are changed to prefects, prefects, and prefects to magistrates, magistrates, and magistrates. Governments at all levels set up corresponding functional departments according to three provinces and six ministries..."

With Li Mu's narration, time passed by every minute.

Although these various systems from later generations also have various problems, they are more advanced than the systems of this era and more conducive to governance.

At this time, all the courtiers in the palace were convinced by Li Mu. They discussed each question one by one, and then passed one by one.

In the end, they discussed that the princes from all walks of life are the biggest obstacle to fully implement these systems throughout the world.

If these princes cannot be wiped out, everything is empty talk.

Li Mudao: "This is Bu's task. This must be done and must be done well."

"First of all, Anyi, Mianchi, Huayin, and Xingyang. Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Xu Rong, and Duan Yao are all Dong Zhuo's confidantes."

"Xu Rong and Duan Yao can try to surrender, but Niu Fu and Dong Yue must be wiped out. When Luoyang is stable, Bu will send troops to conquer."

"As for the other princes, Your Majesty can first announce what happened in Luoyang to the world, and then throw out reforms."

"The reform announced this time is actually a policy that benefits the country and the people. People of insight will surely see its benefits to the great man. At that time, heroes from all walks of life will come to Luoyang to take effect."

"Then His Majesty can issue an edict ordering all the governors and prefects of the Han Dynasty to come to Luoyang, reassign official positions, and hand over military power at the same time."

"Those who are willing to follow through can be appointed officials as appropriate, and those who are unwilling to follow through will be designated as rebels. Bu will send troops to conquer at that time. It is justified and well-known, and the teacher is well-known."

Speaking of this, Li Mu glanced at the courtiers, then turned around to look at Liu Xie, and said with a smile: "Bu plans to completely wipe out the territory of the Han Dynasty within ten years and create a peaceful and prosperous world."

"It will take another ten years to recuperate, and 20 years later, your Majesty will be in his prime, and we, the monarchs and ministers, will join hands to plan to expand the territory and sweep the five barbarians and four barbarians, which will go down in history."

Li Mu's words not only made the courtiers' hearts surge, but even the young Liu Xie was very excited.

He suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The general will not fail me, and I will never fail the general."

Wang Yun's face almost turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile on his face, he clasped his fists and bowed and said, "The great man has a great general, and ZTE is expected to be successful. I congratulate your majesty, and congratulate the great man."

All the ministers bowed in unison and said: "The ministers congratulate your majesty, and congratulate the great man."

Just when the voices of the ministers fell, a burst of uproar suddenly came from afar.

The ministers turned their heads to look outside the palace in amazement, and the noise seemed to be coming from the direction of the palace gate.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't be alarmed, gentlemen. This is when the soldiers under Bu's command started to attack the palace. Please also invite all the gentlemen to come to His Majesty's side. If there is no accident, there will be guards coming to look for Dong thief soon."

As soon as the officials heard that it made sense, they ran behind Li Mu one after another as before.

Li Mu strode to the front of the hall and stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for the guards to come.

After about half an incense stick, there was indeed a fat man somewhat similar to Dong Zhuo, leading a group of imperial guards towards the main hall.

The person who came was Dong Min, Dong Zhuo's younger brother.

His position is Captain Fengche, theoretically he is in charge of Chengyuche, which means the same as the Qin Dynasty's CRRC Fuling, but in fact he is in charge of the Suwei Imperial Army.

When he rushed to the entrance of the hall, he saw Li Muchu standing in front of the door at a glance, while the officials were huddled beside the throne. He couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and when he stepped into the hall, he subconsciously asked, "What is this, my nephew?" ?”

Li Mu had a trademark sinister smile on his face, and said, "Wait for you."

While speaking, he opened his hands suddenly, palms facing the ground, and two balls of three-point return to vitality rapidly swelled in his palms.

"Du... Captain, look over there."

A guard suddenly pointed to the right corner of the hall with a trembling voice. Dong Min looked in the direction of his finger, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

But he saw his elder brother and military advisor Li Ru, piled up in a corner with a group of old guards. Although there was no blood, they were obviously all dead.

At this moment, Li Mu clasped his palms together, and two balls of three-pointers Gui Yuan Qi, the size of a basketball, merged into a ball the size of a washbasin, and then pushed out towards Dong Min and the guard in front of the door.

"bang"

Dong Min and the guards behind him all flew out of the palace gate with a muffled sound, flying all over the sky like rag dolls, and then fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

This three-point return to vitality killed Dong Min and twenty or thirty old guards instantly, leaving only twenty or so old guards on the left and right sides outside the hall gate.

They escaped a catastrophe because they did not stand at the gate of the hall, but they only escaped a catastrophe temporarily.

Li Mu appeared outside the door in an instant, stretched out his arms, and clapped his palms facing both sides. The remaining twenty guards also flew out one after another, all of them shattered.

Then Li Mu soared into the air, circled the eaves, and flew onto the top of Deyang Hall.

Glancing around the palace, he saw the guards in the palace gathering towards the gate of the palace, where the sound of killing was loud.

It seems that Dong Min had ordered them to support the palace gate before, and then he brought people to report to Dong Zhuo, and maybe he wanted to ask himself to help.

There was a smirk at the corner of Li Mu's mouth, and he turned his gaze towards the palace gate, and happened to see that at the position of the third palace gate, Zhao Yun was surrounded by stellar energy, and the whole person soared into the air, and there were dozens of guards flying around with him. upper half.

The silver spear swept across, and the stellar energy exploded, like a hundred birds flying away.

Su Wei, who was still dancing in the air, froze instantly, stopped moving, and fell to the ground like a dumpling.

This should be Zhao Yun's unparalleled big move "Liexiang Hundred Birds Break".

At this time, they have already attacked the third palace gate, and it is estimated that they will be able to enter the palace in another quarter of an hour.

Li Mu went down from the top of the hall in peace of mind, and returned to the entrance of the main hall.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, hundreds of imperial guards were routed and fled to the main hall. Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Cheng Lian followed with the ranks of the army and chased them down.

Those rout soldiers rushed to the front of Deyang Hall, and when they saw Li Mu, a school lieutenant hurriedly shouted: "General Lu, Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao rebelled, please general to suppress it."

"Idiot." Li Mu pursed his lips, swiped his sword finger in front of him, and a normal version of the sword twenty-two took shape in an instant.

Infinite sword energy erupted from Li Mu's body, and charged hundreds of guards with the force of thunder.

"Chichichi..."

"Uhhhhh..."

This sword qi transformed from true essence is completely different from the lightsaber condensed with the power of primordial spirit, it will cause real and visible damage.

It was as if the hundreds of guards were shot by machine guns. Under the invisible sword energy, blood burst out of their bodies, and they turned into sieves in an instant.

Seeing that the remaining hundreds of guards were dealt with by Li Mu with one move, the shouts of killing gradually disappeared, and the soldiers who rushed to kill also slowed down.

Cheng Lian ordered his generals to lead the army to form a team in the square in front of the hall, while he, together with Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, went to meet Li Mu.

"See General."

Li Mu smiled and nodded, "There is no need to be too polite."

Cheng Lian said: "Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers have been cleared out of the city, Song Xian and the others are encircling and suppressing the Xiliang army camp, and most of the guards in the palace have been wiped out. Please tell the general what will happen next."

Li Mudao: "Da Suo Palace, we must ensure that no guards are left behind, be careful not to disturb the concubine of the harem..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and changed his words: "Forget it, just need to pay attention, don't disturb a nobleman named Fushou, other concubines don't need to pay attention."

He suddenly remembered that all the concubines left by Emperor Ling had been ruined by Dong Zhuo.

After today, they will either be expelled from the palace or die, so Li Mu doesn't care if they are frightened or not.

The imperial guards had to be wiped out, otherwise they would hide in the palace and pose a threat to the little emperor and the people in the harem.

Liu Xie's mother, Empress Linghuai Wang Shi, was poisoned and killed by General He Jin's younger sister, Empress Lingsi He Shi, after giving birth to Liu Xie.

In other words, Liu Xie no longer has any real relatives in the harem.

The only one is Fu Wan's daughter Fu Shou, the Empress Fu who has been with Liu Xie Xiong for more than [-] years.

But today's Fushou is just a nobleman. Three years later, when Liu Xie turned 15, he was named queen.

The three led the army away and ordered the army to spread out in teams to search for the remaining guards in the palace.

Then Li Mu returned to the main hall and told the ministers that the court could be dispersed.

The other courtiers left temporarily, only Wang Yun, Fu Wan, and Yang Biao were left behind, followed Li Mu and the little emperor to the harem, and went straight to Fushou's bedroom in Yeting.

This strong woman who has been with Liu Xiexie for more than [-] years, took care of Liu Xie like a sister, and even planned to kill Cao Cao, but was killed in the end, is still just a standard little lolita. He looked like thirteen or fourteen years old.

Before, a sergeant came to search for the remaining guards, which frightened her a lot.

Fortunately, after asking her name, the leader Du Bo was very respectful to her and did not force his way into the bedroom.

After she said that there were no guards hiding here, she left a few people to guard here and left.

Seeing her father and Liu Xie at this time, she was finally completely relieved.

Liu Xie comforted Fushou a few words, and they took a break in Fushou's bedroom to discuss the appointment of the chief officials of the six ministries of the three provinces.

After discussion, it was mainly through Li Mu's nod that Wang Yun would be appointed as Minister of the Ministry, and the chief judge of the Minister would save trouble and be in charge of the six departments. This position is equivalent to that of the Prime Minister.

Yang Biao is the order of Zhongshu, the general judge of Zhongshu saves trouble, and his main functions are to uphold the monarch's will, manage confidentiality, and issue the emperor's edict.

Fu Wan served as a provincial servant under the sect, in charge of cashiering the emperor's orders, attending to etiquette, and attending to all affairs of the state with the Zhongshu Ling, who was in charge of the affairs of the sect.

After the appointment of the chief officials of the three provinces, Li Mu said that he would not express any more opinions, and the other officials were appointed by the three through their own discussions.

Anyway, he is a general, equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He is only in charge of the army. He doesn't care about government affairs, and he doesn't bother to bother.

The so-called political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. As long as he holds the army in his hands, he will always hold the first say in this country.

Regarding matters in the court, the officials of various departments did what he was satisfied with, so he would not say anything.

As long as he is not satisfied, he can slap the other party with a single sentence, no matter who he is.

Wang Yun and the others still have the three abilities. In the original history, the main reason is that they have no military power in their hands and can't do anything. They can only let Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao be rounded and flattened.

Now that Li Mu clearly showed that he would not intervene and let them do what they want, they are full of energy and eager to show their talents.

After Wang Yun and the three discussed the appointment of the six officials, Li Mu said, "Your Majesty, I wonder what you plan to do with the late emperor's concubines in the harem?"

Liu Xie really had no idea about this matter, he looked at Wang Yun and the others, and asked, "What do the three lovers think?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Yu Fuwan said, "Your Majesty, these concubines have all been murdered by Dong Bandit... This is the disgrace of the Han family, the former emperor, and according to the law, they should be given poisonous wine."

"This..." Liu Xie's face changed slightly, and a look of unbearable expression appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Li Mu's eyes flashed with admiration, this kid is kind-hearted, not bad.

Fu Shouxiu on the side frowned, and said weakly, "Father, it's not what they want to be humiliated by Bandit Dong, and it would be too pitiful if they were to die just like that."

Fu Wan sighed, and said: "Why don't you know that they are innocent, but it has to do with the reputation of the royal family."

Liu Xie looked at Li Mu, and asked expectantly, "Does the general think they deserve to die?"

Li Mu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Bu doesn't think so. The women in his family are humiliated because the men in the family are incompetent and unable to protect them. What right do they have to blame the women?"

"What Mrs. Fu Gui said is very true. It is not their wish to be humiliated. It is unreasonable and devoid of benevolence to give them to death in order to protect the reputation of the first emperor."

"As the general sees it, it's better to send them home and give them a way out!"

After hearing Li Mu's words, Fu Shou was filled with admiration and gratitude for him.

The feudal ethics of the Han Dynasty were not as serious as those of later generations, and women were free to remarry.

After these concubines are released home, they can be remarried as widows who lost their husbands. Maybe they will have a better life in the future than in the palace.

But the royal concubines are different, they represent the face of the royal family, so how can they be so free.

The most rare thing is that in this era, there are not many men, especially powerful men, who are willing to consider issues from a woman's standpoint.

Because women are just an accessory to men.

But Li Mu is an exception, so how can he not let Fushou admire him?

When Wang Yun and the others heard Li Mu's words, their faces were flushed with embarrassment, and they hung their heads in silence.

Liu Xie also said sadly: "The general is right. If you can't even protect your family, what kind of man is he? Let's deal with it according to the general's words!"

Li Mu smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, you are just a child now, you can't be blamed for this matter."

"But at the end I hope that His Majesty will be able to work hard, and when he grows up, he will not only be able to protect his own woman, but also his own country."

"In this way, you can be regarded as a man of indomitable spirit, and only in this way can you pick up the lost face of the royal family little by little."

Li Mu's actions were actually suspected of being out of courtesy, but none of the people present cared about this.

Wang Yun and the three felt hot, while Liu Xie and Fushou were so moved that their eyes were flushed.

Fu Wan sighed: "Fortunately, the big man has a great general!"

Liu Xiehong stood up with eyes wide open, bowed to Li Mu with clasped fists, and said, "I want to worship the general as my tutor, and I ask the general to teach me literary and martial arts, so that when I grow up, I can protect my women and the country well. "

Li Mu got up, helped Liu Xie up, and said gently: "Your Majesty has such an enterprising heart, I will be very pleased in the end, since your Majesty wants to learn, I will definitely teach you everything, and I will never hide anything."

Liu Xie said happily: "Thank you, Taifu."

Taifu is an official position exclusively for the emperor, one of the three princes, and has no actual authority, but only a status symbol.

But this identity will undoubtedly make Li Mu's position in the big man even more unshakable.
