Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 209 Find some hope for the people in troubled times!
In the Hall of Long Live Qianqiu, the atmosphere became more and more serious.

Emperor Liu Hong narrowed his eyes, especially weighing...

Colluding with the Taiping Dao and supporting the Taiping Dao, Yuan Feng's crime is unforgivable, but can the Yuan family escape the responsibility?

Yuan Kui didn't know?Hmph, who would believe it?
How can I deal with it?Copy the house?Genocide?

Ha ha…

As soon as this idea appeared, Liu Hong felt that he was naive. The "dual monarchy" extended under the procuratorial system is no joke. The court officials of the Manchu Dynasty are loyal to two masters, one of which is on the spiritual level. The second is to recommend his own officials.

The Yuan family in Runan, four generations and three lords, the hometown of disciples are all over the world, how many officials recognize him as the "lord"!
You have to be punished, but you don't dare to punish severely!
To know…

The reason why Liu Hong in history lifted the party immediately during the Yellow Turban rebellion was because he was worried that these party members would collude with the Yellow Turban thieves, and that Yu Dahan would be overwhelmed!
In recent years, the Yuan family has formed "Friends of Running" to help the party members, and whether it has placed the party members in Runan to "hide their strengths and bide their time", their prestige in the world has already skyrocketed.

Here's why...

Hongnong Yang's fifth generation and third father can be discussed because the reputation is far inferior to that of Runan Yuan's.

It's too far!

at this time…

Yuan Kai, who was in the eye of the storm, took a step forward and took off his official hat and robe.

"Your Majesty, the elder brother of the minister has acted like this. This is a serious crime that affects the entire family. Your Majesty is benevolent and lingering again and again. He cannot bear to add the crime to the old minister, but the old minister knows that he has committed a serious crime. Now he will take off his official uniform and hat and return to the status of a pariah." , if His Majesty understands it one day, he can go to the Yuan Manor to arrest the minister at any time, whether it is divided into pieces or exiled, my Yuan family will never complain!"

Speaking of here…

With a sound of "click", Yuan Kai knelt down, and with a sound of "dong", he kowtowed heavily towards Liu Hong.

Immediately...

Yuan Kui took out a bamboo slip from his bosom.

"This bamboo slip is the distribution map of the Taipingdao rebellion. It was found by Caomin from his brother's room. It recorded in detail the number of people at each altar entrance, the direction of attack at each altar entrance, and their leader, the Yuan family. Even if the grassroots are not in the court, they are willing to do their last bit for the Han! Help His Majesty wipe out the traitors!"

As soon as this statement comes out…

The ministers are horrified...

"Your Majesty, after all... the traitor Yuan Feng was killed by Master Yuan!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, killing relatives righteously... If you are still demoted to a white body because of this, then...then the future is a big man? Who will do this act of killing relatives righteously?"

"Your Majesty... Yuan Taifu took out this picture, which is enough to prove his loyalty to the great man. I hope His Majesty will issue an order. You must not implicate Yuan Taifu because of the traitor Yuan Feng. Yuan Taifu is the pillar of the court!"

ten...

twenty...

Thirty!
More than forty courtiers spoke for Yuan Kai.

Liu Hong's eyes rolled without any hesitation, he knew what this number of courtiers meant...

But it's just a warning, he Liu Hong can't pass this test in his heart.

My son, are you the ones who framed you when you said you framed them, and wronged you when you said you were wronged?
Since Yuan Kai voluntarily resigned from office to treat the crime at home, how could Liu Hong recall him?

Immediately, Liu Hong opened his mouth, "The case of Yuan Feng's collusion with Taipingdao is closed today, and anyone who criticizes it in the court in the future will be guilty of the same crime as Yuan Feng!"

Vague...Conclusive conclusion...

"Your Majesty Shengming..." Situ Yangci was the first to stand up.

Qiao Xuan and Cao Song also bowed their hands.

Then there are a group of courtiers. Although there are many unwilling eyes, but for such a big case, it is true that Taifu Yuan Wei can clear the blame, but that is not always the case!

It is not easy to save his life!
will go away...

Liu Bei and Xun Yu walked last, Liu Bei was a little annoyed, "It's not an exaggeration to say that the nine clans of the Yuan family are such a big case, how could they close the case so hastily?"

It seems... not only those courtiers are dissatisfied.

Liu Bei is not satisfied either...

Xun Yu stroked his beard, and said calmly, "Does Xuande know who is the mother of Yuan Shu, the third son of the Yuan family?"

"Who?" Liu Bei asked anxiously.

"She is the princess of the Han Dynasty!" Xun Yu said with emotion: "Nowadays, His Majesty has to call her Auntie, hehe... Zhu Jiuzu... Are you afraid that His Majesty is also included?"

This…

Liu Bei was taken aback, he really didn't expect this part.

I just feel bad...

Such a case caused them both to suffer so much, and the third brother was framed so innocently, but they couldn't root out the huge "Runan Yuan family"...

Xun Yu especially sighed with emotion...

"The Yuan family is the leader of the clans in the world. The Yuan family supported the Taiping Dao for the party members. Based on this alone, these clans can be clear. If these old clans are not destroyed, the Yuan family will not perish... Instead of thinking about how to pull out this It’s a big tree, why don’t you think about how to cure this big man’s clan disease!”

Xun Yu sees things more thoroughly...

Emperor Liu Hong's embarrassment, he can see it...

The energy of the Yuan family in Runan can also be seen in this court hall.

In addition, in the frontier army and the Han Tingbei army, are there fewer clan children?
The resources of the Han court depended more on the "charity" of the clan...

If the Yuan family is really going to be uprooted, can the emperor bear this rebellion in the world?
At least…

Now the emperor's strength is far from enough!

This is not something that can be decided with a snap of the head...

Xun Yu and Liu Bei were chatting when suddenly... Zhang Rang stopped in front of them.

"Xun Shizhong, Liu Huangdi, long time no see... Our family misses you very much!"

"Zhang Changshi!" Xun Yu cupped his hands slightly.

Liu Bei didn't have a good face towards Zhang Rang...

Zhang Rang said, "Your Majesty wants to see you two, so come with us!"

While talking, Zhang Rang led the way...it was the direction of Qianqiu Long Live Hall...

Liu Bei asked curiously: "Zhang Changshi is the head of the ten permanent servants. It is such a good opportunity to eradicate the Yuan family. Why is Zhang Changshi silent when he is in Deyang Palace just now?"

"Hahaha..." Zhang Rang laughed, "Don't fool our family, our eunuchs hate those scholar-bureaucrats, but our family will not propose to His Majesty to get rid of those scholar-bureaucrats!"

"Why?" Because of the trip to Zhuojun, Liu Bei and Zhang Rang were old acquaintances, so they continued to ask unceremoniously.

Ha ha…

Zhang Rang smiled, and while he was smiling, he raised his orchid fingers, "Your Majesty gave us eunuchs the power, isn't it just to check and balance those scholar-officials? If the Yuan family in Runan really falls, then our family's good times will come to an end." !"

Hey…

At this moment, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang with a little more admiration in his eyes.

Generals who lead troops... often know the truth of "supporting the bandits and respecting themselves".

But I didn't expect... Zhang Rang, the permanent servant of Zhongchang, was so transparent about this truth!
"Liu Huangdi, it's inappropriate to say something, which faction do you and Xun Shizhong belong to? Isn't the emperor supporting your faction just for the sake of three-legged confrontation?" Having said this, Zhang Rang rolled his eyes, "This big man's world is indispensable. Scholars and bureaucrats are also indispensable to our eunuchs, don’t all those tripods need three ‘legs’?”

Hearing this, Zhang Rang turned his head... His eyes met those of Liu Bei and Xun Yu.

The mind of the emperor, the three of them figured it out, didn't they come up with something different?
...

...

That night, Sima Fang respectfully brought Emperor Liu Hong to the prison.

Liu Hong has only Jian Shuo as his guard...

Liu Hong took his seat and said with a dignified expression, "Take that Ma Yuanyi!"

A moment later, Ma Yuanyi was ushered in by two jailers. He was wearing heavy shackles. Even so... When he entered the room, there were four criminals standing still with weapons in their hands, for fear that he would hurt the nobleman on the throne.

"Such a big posture, the emperor is afraid, right?"

Ma Yuanyi was in good health, but seemed weak because he hadn't eaten.

The lights were flickering, Liu Hong walked slowly in front of Ma Yuanyi, Jian Shuo wanted to stop him, but Liu Hong insisted...

"You seem like a smart guy!"

Ma Yuanyi raised his head and asked Liu Hong, "Does it matter whether a dying person is smart or not?"

"Hahaha!" Liu Hong laughed...

He waved his hand, "Go down!"

This…

This time, it wasn't just Jian Shuo who wanted to stop him, even Sima Fang didn't dare to let the envoy of the Taiping Dao be alone with the emperor.

"His Majesty…"

"He looks so weak? Do you think he can hurt me?" Liu Hong asked back...

Only then did Sima Fang and Jian Shuo retreat...

But he stayed outside the door, not daring to go far.

"Tell me, why did you betray the Taiping Dao, why did you help the Heavenly Master Dao!"

Liu Hong sat in front of Ma Yuanyi... Ma Yuanyi said softly: "The sinner has a mother. If there was not a great epidemic in Zhuo County, if the Heavenly Master didn't save her life, I'm afraid I would regret it for the rest of my life!"

"Just because of this?" Liu Hong asked back. "Are you an envoy of God who is below one person and above ten thousand people in the Dao of Peace? After Huang Tian replaced Cang Tian, ​​wouldn't you be fascinated and obsessed with that great power?"

heard...

With a long sigh, Ma Yuanyi shook his head, and he asked Liu Hong back.

"Your Majesty hasn't been to the frontier?"

"how to say?"

"The people in the frontier never think about power, not about Huang Tian replacing the sky, but... they want to live!"

Ma Yuanyi said truthfully: "I have food to eat when I'm hungry, clothes to wear when I'm cold, and a place to shelter when the night wind howls!"

"Including the more than [-] congregants of Taiping Dao, they don't have any dreams of changing the world. They are just poor people who are forced by tyrants and gentry, homeless, cold and hungry, and hungry!"

Speaking of here…

Ma Yuanyi seemed a little emotional, he wanted to reach out...

But this subtle move surprised Jian Shuo who was outside the door, and hurried in.

"Get out!"

Liu Hong scolded coldly, but instead handed him a chopstick and asked him to wipe the painting on the ground.

Ma Yuanyi painted the four prefectures of Qing, You, Hebei, and Bing in the north, and the four prefectures of Si, Xu, Yan, and Henan in the Central Plains. Finally, he erased Youzhou.

"Does Your Majesty know why I erased Youzhou?"

"Why?" Liu Hong was aroused...

Ma Yuanyi said with emotion: "In the eight states in the Central Plains and the northern border, only Youzhou cannot be penetrated by the Taiping Dao, and there is no uprising... because the people here, including my mother, believe in the Tao of Heavenly Masters... and in Tian With the help of Shi Dao, men can dig mines to make money, and women can easily find a livelihood. All the people in Youzhou can afford clothes and food... Under such a life, who would How about risking your head falling to the ground to participate in the uprising?"

"Compared to Youzhou...Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou...and even Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou...even including Sili, the development of the Taiping Taoists in these places is too easy and easy. The poor have been reduced to slaves, and they can't save any surplus food throughout the year. The Taiping Road only needs to draw a vision that everyone has clothes to wear and everyone has food to eat, and the people will flock to vote... Hehe, Your Majesty understands What? Who is the instigator of this Taipingdao rebellion?"

call…

Needless to say, Ma Yuanyi's words deeply touched Emperor Liu Hong.

After hearing Sima Fang's detailed account of the case, Liu Hong came up with the idea of ​​meeting Ma Yuanyi, the envoy of the Taoist God of Taiping!
Also from his mouth, listen to what is the way of peace, what is the imperial court, and what is the way of heavenly masters.

now…

It can be said that it is shocking to hear a sentence!

"You still haven't answered my question? Why did you betray the Tao of Taiping and why did you support the Tao of Heavenly Master?"

"The answer lies in what I said just now." Ma Yuanyi squinted his eyes, "My mother taught me since I was a child that when I was born in this chaotic world and unfortunately went to school, there are only two meanings for living. This mountain of swords, let your reputation pass on, live up to what you have learned, and second... Gain a little hope for the people in this troubled world! At least... I have seen these hopes from the Tao of Heavenly Master and Guanzhu Liu! "

hope...

At this moment, Liu Hong and Ma Yuanyi had the same feeling.

Once upon a time, the treasury of the Han Dynasty was empty, internal and external troubles, and state affairs were in turmoil. He also wanted to lie flat...

Since there is no way to recover, why bother to struggle.

Wouldn't it be just right to muddle along and wait to die?

Can…

Ever since I met Yu'er, ever since I met Yu'er who "always has a way"...everything has changed.

When his court was short of money, Yu'er could use a series of means to make Liu Hong a lot of money...

When the imperial court was restricted by layers of exploitation of relief funds, Yu'er was able to use a series of methods to allow the relief food to be safely delivered to the refugees' mouths!
There is also the plague, and the invasion of the barbarians...

There are also growing and growing aristocratic families... All of these are easily solved by Yu'er.

Why didn't the emperor Liu Hong see hope?

Compared with his decadent appearance two years ago, the current him has been completely renewed, like a newborn.

The scariest thing in the world is not that hard work is not rewarded...

The most frightening thing is that there is no hope!
On this point, Liu Hong actually had a lot of sympathy with this envoy of the Tao of Taiping.

"Hehe..." Liu Hong stood up slowly, patted Ma Yuanyi on the shoulder, and asked kindly, "Have you been hungry all day?"

This sudden sentence made Ma Yuanyi turn pale with shock.

Liu Hong didn't stay any longer, but walked towards the door with strides, giving instructions in a low voice as he walked.

"I want this guy to live!"

"You guys think of a way!"

This…

Sima Fang and Jian Shuo looked at each other, what does His Majesty mean... to save his life?No...Your Majesty means that externally... Ma Yuanyi is dead, but in fact, Ma Yuanyi is still alive!

Just thought of this section.

Liu Hong's voice came out again.

"I keep that damned Yuan Kai, and I want to keep this damned 'Ma Yuanyi' even more! I have great value for this person!"

"Mr. Simafu, don't the prisoners in Dali Temple need to eat every day?"

Uh…

Sima Fang quickly cupped his hands, "I'm guilty!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly ordered someone...to give Ma Yuanyi some food.

However, compared to this, Sima Fang is more aware of the emperor's attitude towards Ma Yuanyi...

It seems that His Majesty wants to use this person!

It seems that Yuan Wei...here, His Majesty has other plans and ideas!
