Han family achievements

Chapter 109

In the sixth year of Zhongping, in mid-September.

Liu Bian returned to Beijing quietly, but he did not enter the palace, but was dressed in ordinary clothes, and came to the recruiting hall like an ordinary scholar.

The recruiting hall is decorated in a simple and bright way. The hall is full of people, in groups of three or four, sitting around tables and talking loudly.

Liu Bian remained calm and quietly came to a remote corner to sit down and observe these people.

On the small table not far in front of him, there were five or six people sitting around, ranging from teenagers to fifties or sixties, who seemed to be arguing about something, their faces were red and their ears were red, and their voices were extremely loud.

"Today's urgent need is to change customs and customs, so that the world will return to the Tao!"

"No! The sage wants his fish scales and phoenix wings to be scattered and uneven in the world. Isn't it great? The world is long, and everyone is attracted to fame. Because of his affection, he has good ears?"

"I believe that in the midst of the pollution and danger, the meaning should be used to create a wind, to encourage popular customs, to use hormones to shame authority, to establish integrity and to invigorate dignity, so that people all over the world will feel excited and follow it!"

"Don't talk nonsense, have a neat style, and hold yourself high, I want to take it as my duty to teach the world what is right and wrong!"

"Words to be a gentleman, behavior in the world, boarding the bridle, must have the ambition to clarify the world!"

"Whatever, what's wrong, righteousness is abandoned, evil is in vain..."

Although Liu Bian didn't listen to it from the beginning, just these few words made him look confused.

What is this talking about?
'Is this the lofty talk of Confucian scholars, exaggerated and impetuous? '

Liu Bian felt greatly disappointed in his heart and couldn't help shaking his head.

Pan Yin bowed and whispered in Liu Bian's ear, "Your Majesty, the King of Bohai has arrived."

Liu Bian turned his head immediately, and saw an eight or nine-year-old, quite immature boy in uniform looking left and right at the door.

After a pause, Liu Bian raised his hand with a smile and waved to him.

When Liu Xie saw Liu Bian, he walked in unhurriedly, came up to him and raised his hand and said, "I... have seen my brother."

Liu Bian sized him up and said, "Sit."

Liu Xie responded with his usual expression, but felt uneasy in his heart, and knelt down opposite Liu Bian.

Liu Bian looked at this younger brother. In history, this brother was also a poor man, and he was the de facto king of subjugation of the Han Dynasty.

To some extent, Liu Bian also took the blame.

For Liu Xie's entry, the Recruitment Hall hardly responded, and continued to talk about it.

Liu Bian actually had no ill feeling toward Liu Xie, and never had any killing intent, so he reached out and poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Today we only talk about brothers, not other things. Tell me, how do you feel at Shangshutai these days?" ?”

Liu Xie panicked, bowed lightly, and said, "Back... elder brother. The princes of Shangshutai are all virtuous and upright people with outstanding abilities. My brother, I have gained a lot."

Liu Bian held a teacup to his mouth, looked at him and said, "What's your experience? Regarding the government."

Liu Xie's heart became more tense, and he quietly grasped his sitting hands, and said: "My brother thinks that the country's affairs are getting more and more difficult, and everything is decadent, and it is necessary for Your Majesty to turn the tide and rectify the country."

A mediocre answer.

Liu Bian took a sip of tea and said, "What do you think of the courtiers impeaching Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others?"

Now in the imperial court, apart from singing praises for Liu Bian, there is also an undercurrent of impeachment against Lu Zhi and others.

Liu Xie said: "Chen...brother, listen to your elder brother's decision."

Seeing that he was nervous, Liu Bian put down his teacup, and said straightforwardly, "What do you think about grandma's entry into Beijing?"

Liu Xie tensed up instantly, and his breathing seemed to have stopped.

The manuscripts he had long ago are no longer needed at this time, so he suppressed the chills in his scalp and said: "Grandmother, she, minister, and brother have written to appease grandma's longing for her grandson."

Liu Bian stared at him and said, "Has anyone told you anything?"

Liu Xie's face changed suddenly, and he said fiercely: "My brother has been deep in the Forbidden Palace and has never had contact with foreign ministers. Please learn from your majesty!"

His movements were too big, which made the recruitment hall quiet, and everyone looked over.

But no one seemed to have heard what Liu Xie said just now, they just looked at Liu Bian and Liu Xie brothers suspiciously.

In the silence, Li Ruzheng came out from the side door in doubt, followed his gaze to see Liu Bian, his complexion changed slightly, and he shrank back abruptly.

He leaned against the wall, his eyes full of surprise.

"Didn't your majesty say that you will arrive in Beijing in three days?"Why did you arrive today? There was a flicker in Li Ru's eyes, and he glanced quietly again. After confirming that it was Liu Bian, he turned and slipped away silently.

Although the people in the recruiting hall were puzzled, they didn't pay much attention to it, and turned their heads to continue chatting.

Liu Xie fell on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

In fact, he was ready to die in his heart, and he had this awareness from the moment the emperor's brother ascended the throne!But at the end of the day, there was still deep fear.

Liu Bian didn't expect Liu Huihui to be so afraid, so he turned around in his heart, changed his strategy, stretched out his hand to pull him, and said with a smile: "Grandma's feeling of yearning for grandchildren is also human, and I can understand it. Hmm... Bring grandma to Luoyang, and if you are not used to living in the palace, live outside the city. In this way, we can go to see grandma at any time."

Liu Xie felt chills when he heard Liu Bian's words.

No matter what the feeling of thinking about grandchildren, any action of the superior will not be just a superficial purpose, and the same is true of Empress Dowager Dong's "feeling of thinking about grandchildren".

But Liu Bian took Empress Dowager Dong to Luoyang and put her outside the city to 'monitor' nearby!
'Brother Huang, you are still suspicious of me. '

Liu Xie's face turned pale, and he fell on the ground and said: "My brother, thank you."

Liu Bian stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said: "Don't think too much, you have to remember what I said."

Liu Xie stood up tremblingly, his mind was completely occupied by fear, and he couldn't remember what Liu Bian had said to him.

Liu Bian looked at him, and was about to speak when the recruiting hall suddenly became quiet again.

Liu Bian turned his head and saw that everyone was staring at a woman who walked in covered in a white gauze.

"Cai Wenji?" Liu Bian recognized her at a glance, mainly because she was very conspicuous in mourning clothes.

I saw that Cai Wenji brought a lot of books and walked to the front desk. It looked like she was here to return the books.

Suddenly, many people stepped forward and raised their hands and said, "Xiaosheng has met Cai Xiaoniang, I wonder if Mr. Taichang can come together?"

Cai Wenji bowed sideways, and said softly, "My father is in the future."

"Xiaosheng wants to visit too often, I don't know if I can recommend him?" Another person said hastily.

Cai Wenji returned the book, but turned to leave without answering this sentence.

A group of people chattered and followed behind Cai Wenji, all talking about Cai Yong inside and out.

"Cai Xiaoniang, is there a marriage?"

A very loud voice suddenly sounded, shaking the recruiting hall into silence.

Cai Wenji frowned, showing displeasure, and walked faster.

This sentence immediately aroused public anger, and someone scolded: "Cai Xiaoniang has just become a widow, what do you mean?"

"I, I, I have admired Cai Xiaoniang for a long time, and I want to marry you, how about it?"

"Damn! You don't like Cai Xiaoniang, you like Cai Taichang, right!?"

"Nonsense, let me ask you, do you have any unreasonable thoughts about Cai Xiaoniang?"

A group of people were torn apart immediately, and the recruiting hall seemed to be about to switch from talking to fighting.

There were even some people who chased after Cai Wenji and continued to pester her after leaving the recruiting hall.

Liu Bian was very disappointed with these people, shook his head, got up and said, "Follow me."

Liu Xie was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything else, and followed Liu Bian carefully step by step.

Liu Bian left the recruiting hall and went to Hongdumen to learn.

Chatting with Liu Xie occasionally on the road, Liu Xie lost the "early wisdom" of the past, and answered very cautiously, without any new ideas.

Arriving at Hongdu Gate, the first thing you see is a courtyard wall that has just been renovated, and the door and plaques have obviously been replaced not long ago.

Liu Bian looked at it for a while, then walked in.

It was so majestic, without hindrance, and went in unimpeded.

Liu Bian froze for a moment, not used to it.

After he walked in, he found that the Hongdu School was being built everywhere, and the action was not small, almost all the houses were being demolished.

"Is this going to be a big deal?"

Liu Bian was a little stunned, and then saw four or five young people approaching in groups, yelling.

They passed in front of Liu Bian and others, and the strong smell of alcohol almost made Liu Bian faint.

"Let me tell you, those from Qingcuilou are all talented and talented, and they are ecstasy on the bed..."

"How much money..."

"Hahaha! You don't care how much money he has, people from our Hongdu school have gone, and they still dare to collect money?"

"That's right, that's right, let me tell you, our Hongdu school is Taichang who is also a sacrificial wine in person, and he is a half-student of the emperor! In the future, he will be a county magistrate at least!"

"What is the county magistrate? In the future, we will definitely be appointed as marquises and prime ministers. A brothel in the district can't rush to curry favor with us? Let me tell you, I, both of you, were celebrities yesterday. On weekdays, let's say at least a thousand. Yesterday , I gave tea money, hehe..."

Liu Bian was dumbfounded, watching them pass by, his chest was filled with anger, and he was so angry that he couldn't say a word!

Is this the Hongdu sect he had placed high hopes on?One by one drinking during the day and visiting brothels at night?
Pan Yin shrank his head, not daring to breathe.

Liu Xie frowned and watched these people go out.

After a while, Liu Bian took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, "What is Cai Yong doing?"

Pan Yin lowered his head and said, "It seems that he is busy building a school in Taiyuan."

Liu Bian snorted coldly, and said, "What kind of chaos is he going to add, because he thinks Taiyuan isn't chaotic enough?"

How could Pan Yin dare to speak, Hongdu school was given high hopes by Liu Bian, and this scene was actually seen by Liu Bian with his own eyes!
Liu Bian thought in his heart that he had to give Cai Yong a good lesson.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Cai Wenji carrying a small basket and entering the gate of Hongdu School.

Knowing that Cai Wenji knew him, Liu Bian didn't want to exchange pleasantries, so he looked around, pointed to the path not far away, and asked, "Is this the one leading to the back door?"

Before Pan Yin could answer, Liu Bian had already walked away.

Cai Wenji looked at Liu Bian's back and saw him leaving in a hurry, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Right now, Cai Mansion.

Cai Yong just came back from the outside, and then a porter chased him, saying: "Master, the former Luoyang commander Zhou Yi asked to see him."

Cai Yong was startled, then suddenly remembered something, and said repeatedly: "See you, see you."

The concierge was stunned for a moment, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Master, there are two Li Sangongs in the Zhou family."

Zhou Jing, Zhou Yi's father, and Zhou Zhong, his elder brother, were once among the three princes.

Cai Yong kept walking, as if he was hiding from the plague god, and said: "That Zhou Yi is Yuan An's protégé! From now on, no former protégé of the Yuan family will be allowed to enter my mansion."

The porter suddenly woke up, and immediately said: "Yes, the villain will send them away."

Cai Yong paused, turned around, and said, "They? Who else?"

The concierge who turned around turned back and said, "There is also his son Zhou Yu."

Cai Yong waved his hand, he didn't want anything related to the Yuan family.

……

Liu Bian walked along the path to the interior of Hongdumen School, only to find that Hongdumen School was really being demolished and rebuilt, and there were craftsmen everywhere. Magnificent, it can be called luxury.

"It's so extravagant..."

Liu Bian sighed, Cai Yong obviously misunderstood his meaning.

Liu Xie didn't speak, just curious why Liu Bian brought him here.

He walked out of Hongdu's school with all odds and turns, and after turning a corner, Liu Bian appeared at the back door of Yang's mansion.

Liu Xie looked at the inconspicuous little door, then at Liu Bian, and remained silent.

Yang Biao appeared with a limp, bowed with difficulty and said, "I refer to Your Majesty."

Liu Bian glanced at his crutches, and said with a smile, "Yang Qing's family, your leg has been hurt for a few months, right?"

Yang Biao was fatter than before, with a big belly, he said with a smile: "Chen, Chen..."

Liu Bian waved his hand, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and went straight in.

Only then did Yang Biao notice Liu Xie, blinked his eyes in a daze, and hurriedly followed behind Liu Bian.

A group of people arrived at the main hall, and before tea was served, Yang Biao raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "I congratulate Your Majesty on his return after a great victory. Your Majesty is mighty, and he will go after Emperor Wu! On behalf of all the officials of the imperial court, I invite Your Majesty to enshrine Zen!"

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, looked at Yang Biao, but his heart moved.

Feng Chan?It's not impossible, as long as the haze over Luoyang City can be cleared away.

However, the victory over the Xiongnu was just now, and the scenery was in full bloom. At this time, Feng Chan was just icing on the cake, and another opportunity had to be found.

"Get up."

Liu Bian picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.

Yang Biao sat up, bowed his body, his fat face was calm.

At this moment in the backyard, Wang Lang was standing under the eaves, looking at the main hall with a solemn expression, with all kinds of overwhelming thoughts in his heart.

Liu Bian took the three memorials from Pan Yin, pushed them to Yang Biao, and said, "Prime Minister, take a look at these three memorials."

Hearing the word 'Prime Minister', Yang Biao instinctively felt his heart skip a beat, and reached out to take the three playbooks.

He shook his hands at the first glance when he opened it, looked up at Liu Bian in surprise, and said, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"Let's talk about it after reading it." Liu argued.

Yang Biao suppressed his uneasiness and continued to read.

The first is to reduce officials, the second is to expand the Forbidden Army and the Habayashi Army, and the third is to say that the local state herdsmen, governors, prefects, and aristocratic families support their own self-respect, control the place, and do not Respect the imperial court, obey the imperial court's decrees, and act recklessly.

The reason why Yang Biao was frightened was that the author of these three memorials was——Yuan Kai!
The Yuan family, a thorn in Yang Biao's heart!

Yang Biao fiercely put together the memorial, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I believe that Yuan Kai has ulterior motives, and the memorial must contain evil intentions. Please ignore it!"

Liu Bian smiled and said, "I think there are still merits in it."

These three memorials were written by Yuan Kai at Liu Bian's request on the night Liu Bian dealt with He Jin.

Yang Biao blinked, seemed a little dazed, and immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Bian smiled on his face, but sneered in his heart, and said, "Qing family, what can you see from it?"

Yang Biao's fat face tensed up, pretending to be in deep thought.

Who would dare to take the risk of reducing officials?Don't be scolded to death by the scholars of the world?
The expansion of the Forbidden Army and the Habayashi Army is also open to discussion.The Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan back then was the foundation of the Twelve Permanent Attendants forming a clique and chaotic politics.

As for the self-respect of local powerful soldiers, who dares to say more?This is asking for trouble!
Liu Bian restrained his smile and said, "As the prime minister, what do you think of the Qing family?"

As soon as the 'Prime Minister' came out, Yang Biao's heart twitched unconsciously, his small eyes kept blinking, and he said quickly: "I, I think that there are indeed some mediocre officials, and they should be abolished. The expansion of the Imperial Army and the Habayashi Army, I think Yes, but it must be safe, after all, the imperial treasury is empty. Local, local, I ask the Holy Spirit to make a decision!"

Liu Bian knew Yang Biao's habit very well, so he was not angry at all, and said: "As the prime minister, the Qing family should come up with a set of regulations for governing politics. The Qing family should carefully refer to these three memorials. In a few days , I will read the constitution of the Qing family."

Yang Biao's fat face was trembling, his mouth was dry, and he said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm not good enough to take on great responsibilities..."

Liu Bian got up straight away, interrupted his words, and said as he walked: "Recently, there has been a wave of impeachment against Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others in the imperial court. Come and suppress those who are obsessed. As the prime minister, that's all." them."

In times of peace and prosperity, speech officials are needed to restrain powerful officials. At this time, speech officials are not only bad things, but also bad things.

Yang Biao saw Liu Bian leaving just like that, he quickly turned around and said to Liu Bian, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I..."

Liu Bian went straight out of the living room and strode out the door.

"There's one more person to see."

After leaving the Yang Mansion, Liu Bian stood on the street, looked around, pointed to a restaurant not far away, and said, "It's just right, I'm hungry too, please come and have a meal with me here, Da Sima."

"Yes." Pan Yin replied.

As soon as Liu Bian left Yang's mansion, Yang Biao scrambled towards the backyard and found Wang Lang.

The two sat down, Wang Lang looked at the three memorials, nodded with a dazed expression, and said, "Your Majesty really has an idea about the government, this move has been going on for so long, so be patient..."

Yang Biao wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and said, "Don't talk about it, what should I do if you talk about me?"

Wang Lang put down Yuan Kui's three memorials and said, "Submit the letter, and then discuss it at the Shangshutai."

Yang Biao's expression changed suddenly, his small eyes widened, and he said: "You really want me to write a letter? Do you know how many people you will offend? These people, if someone comes to power in the future, they will definitely eat me alive!"

Wang Lang was calm as usual, and said: "If you don't submit the letter, your Yang family will be the next Yuan family. Besides, what do you think can be discussed at Shangshutai? If you don't dare to do it, others will."

Surprised and delighted, Yang Biao hurriedly poured tea for Wang Lang, and said, "Mr. Wang is still smart! Well, come to Shangshutai to help me?"

Wang Lang did have some thoughts at first, but his thoughts became more and more hesitant, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I still need to study."

Yang Biao didn't make things difficult for him, as long as Wang Lang is still in his mansion, he said instead: "Some people wrote to me, wanting to enter the court, what do you think?"

Wang Lang's expression changed, his eyes turned slightly cold, and he said, "Are you planning to follow in the footsteps of the Yuan family? You must tell everyone, especially Your Majesty, that you have no power and no ambition!"

Yang Biao nodded heavily and said, "I'll listen to you!"

Seeing that he agreed, Wang Lang looked at the three memorials on the table.

He had a clear foreboding that after this personal conquest by the emperor, the plight that His Majesty faced would be greatly improved, and the court would not be stable, but would become more turbulent.

……

Li Ru searched for Wang Yun for a long time, and finally found Wang Yun who was checking the accounts in Dasinong Mansion.

He waited for a while, seeing that Wang Yun was too serious about accounting, he didn't intend to talk to him at all, so he couldn't wait any longer, he stepped forward and pulled Wang Yun aside, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Your Majesty has arrived in Beijing."

Wang Yun, who was planning to use Xun You and others, was taken aback and said, "Isn't there still a few days left? Are you sure?"

Li Rusu nodded solemnly, and said: "The officer saw it with his own eyes in the recruiting hall, and the King of Bohai was also there, so he can't be wrong."

Wang Yun's face was sullen, and his heart turned rapidly.

His Majesty's return to Beijing ahead of time must have been done in the dark, and meeting King Bohai must have something to do with Empress Dowager Dong's desire to return to Beijing.

Seeing Wang Yun bowing his head in thought and seeing no one around, Li Ru lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, no one else knows that His Majesty has returned to Beijing."

Wang Yun looked at him fiercely and said, "You mean..."

A ruthless look appeared on Li Ruruya's face, and he said, "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo was angry with both men and gods, and the reason why he was able to enter the court and rank among the third princes was simply because of his military power in Bingzhou. Now, his military power is fully exhausted..."

Wang Yun was naturally dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, how could this kind of person be worthy to stand side by side with him in the court.

But if you want to attack Dong Zhuo, you need to think long-term and don't be reckless. Anyway, Dong Zhuo is also a Taiwei.

Li Ru saw Wang Yun moved, his eyes brightened slightly, and he said: "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo is killing people like hemp in Bingzhou. The sky is angry and everyone complains. As long as he pushes a little, defeat is at hand!"

Now that Dong Zhuo is defeated, will Yang Biao be far behind?
Once Yang Biao goes, then Wang Yun is the prime minister!
He, Li Ru, will naturally rise with the tide, and he can sit in the position of Sangong!

Hearing Li Ru mentioned 'Bingzhou', Wang Yun's expression flashed murderous, and he said, "What are you going to do?"

Li Ru looked back, moved closer, and whispered in Wang Yun's ear.

After listening, Wang Yun said: "Okay, let's do it like this! You go to someone, and I'll test the attitude of Xun You and others."

It is said to test Xun You and others, but in fact it is His Majesty in the palace.

Li Ru knew it well, and said again: "Then, Lu Zhi and Cao Cao?"

Wang Yun looked a bit cold, and said: "Together."

In Wang Yun's view, it was a serious crime for Lu Zhi to sit and watch Liu Bian besieged by Shangdang.And Cao Cao is the direct culprit, and it is an unforgivable crime!
Li Ru raised his hand and said, "Your official understands!"

After saying this sentence, Li Ru's eyes became dark, and his tone became a bit erratic, and he said, "Your Majesty, the Bohai King..."

Wang Yun suddenly became silent.

Liu Xie's existence is already very sensitive, and the Empress Dowager Dong who jumped out suddenly stirred up the sensitive nerves of the government and the public all the time.

Li Ru looked at Wang Yun's expression, and his heart was about to move, and he really wanted to say: Should we make up a reasonable excuse for His Majesty?

But he and Wang Yun are not enough 'partners', what he said was: "Your Majesty, at least, the King of Bohai should not stay in Shangshutai. Your Majesty probably thinks so too."

Wang Yun thought for a while, and said: "I will find an opportunity to talk to Your Majesty. Go and collect the criminal evidence of Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others. They must be beaten to death with a stick, and they must not be given a chance to stand up!"

Now the battle of the court, there are only four words: beheaded and killed.

Never leave a trace of trouble!
