Chapter 110 Party Caucus
That night, when Liu Xie came back from outside the palace, his little face was tense, and his eyes were disturbed and excited.
Huangfusong walked behind him, expressionless, with a cool demeanor, strangers should not enter.
Liu Xie wanted to turn around and ask several times, but held back.
After passing the Jiade Hall, Liu Xie glanced at the Shangshutai which was close at hand, then turned to Huangfusong and asked, "Great Sima, can you really train 20 soldiers?"
Huangfu Song bowed slightly and said, "This is His Majesty's will."
"I'm asking, can it really be done?" Liu Xie asked again, expectant and nervous.Although he was under house arrest in the palace, he knew very well about the current situation of the Han treasury.
20 troops, how much food will they have?
He also read the memorial book of the Xia tax yesterday, and the full calculation is only 20 million yuan, and the annual court tax will not exceed [-] million yuan. With a [-] army, it is not enough for three months of expenditure!
Huangfu Song remained silent.
Liu Xie pursed his lips and said, "I am talking too much. Da Sima, can you keep it secret for me?"
Huangfusong looked at Liu Xie's innocence and maturity beyond his age, and did not speak.
Liu Xie waited for a while, and seeing that Huangfusong was silent, he turned around and walked back.
Huangfusong watched him leave, paused for a moment, and walked towards Da Sima's mansion.
At this time, a small yellow door approached him, raised his hand and said, "The villain has seen Da Sima."
"Is there something wrong?" Huangfu Song looked at Xu Yan and said.
Xu Yan is a small yellow family in the palace, with a lot of qualifications. Compared with Zhang Rang and others who abuse power and disrupt the country, Xu Yan does not fight or grab, distinguishes right from wrong, and has a very good reputation.
Xu Yan had no beard, his face was mild, and he was quite bookish. He handed over a few playbooks and said, "Great Sima, please read this."
Huangfusong reached out to take it, read the first copy, glanced at the others, and returned it to Xu Yan, saying: "Don't worry about it."
Xu Yan was startled, and quickly said: "Da Sima, these are all counties and counties... Except for the state shepherd, there are more than 20 people..."
"I see." Huangfusong didn't say much, and went straight into Da Sima's mansion.
Seeing his back, Xu Yan looked puzzled.
More than 20 people impeached Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, etc., not only at the local level, but also in the imperial court, so "don't care about it"?
Immediately, he suddenly remembered something, quickly chased after him, and said, "Da Sima, Mr. Lu has sent a letter, and I will put it on your desk."
……
at night.
Yang Biao looked at Yuan Kai's three-way memorial, with a pen in his hand, racking his brains for words.
He is the prime minister, and if this memorandum is published, it will definitely attract the attention of the world.He needs to be able to agree with Liu Bian without dissatisfying the scholars in the world.
Wang Lang sat across from him, with a calm and calm face, holding a book in his hand, watching quietly.
Yang Biao wrote for a long time, but he still put down his pen and said, "My Mr. Wang, are you giving me some advice?"
Without turning his head, Wang Lang said, "If you want to take advantage of both sides, how can there be such a good thing."
Yang Biao had a headache, rubbed his face with a wry smile, and said, "Why do you take advantage of both ends? I want to avoid offense."
Wang Lang ignored it and continued reading.
Yang Biao put down his hand and sighed, "You said, can Tang Mao become a general? How long will we have to wait?"
Wang Lang's eyes shifted to his face, with a trace of curiosity, he said: "You really have no ambition?"
Yang Biao was stunned by this question, blinked and was speechless for a moment.
Wang Lang couldn't see through Yang Biao all the time, and always felt that this old man was hiding his clumsiness on purpose, but this man was hiding too deeply. At this time, he still refused to reveal a thing or two.
"Owner."
When the two looked at each other, a light appeared outside the door, and the servant called softly.
Leaning on crutches, Yang Biao stood up and opened the door.
The servant stepped forward and whispered: "Master, the prince is here."
Yang Biao was startled, and said, "Master Wang?"
Zishi, Wang Yun's character.
Wang Lang came over with a curious expression on his face.
Although Wang Yun has been promoted repeatedly, but in the government and the public, his weight is still not enough. It gives people the feeling that he is taciturn, not a party, and rarely interacts with courtiers.
Yang Biao and Wang Lang looked at each other, and then said: "Please!"
Leaning on crutches, Yang Biao walked to the front hall, and said, "I'll be back later, Mr. Wang, please help me polish the playbook."
Wang Lang didn't care about this, but was a little curious about Wang Yun's purpose of coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion late at night.
Yang's living room.
Yang Biao put down the crutch with difficulty, shaking the flesh on his fat face, and said, "Master Zi, you should come here less often."
Although Wang Yun was withdrawn, he often visited the mansions of He Jin and the Yuan family.
Wang Yun saw that Yang Biao was being polite and a bit distracted, with an unmoved expression, handed over an official document, and said: "Prime Minister, I am here to report something important."
Yang Biao blinked, then took it in confusion, opened it, and found that it was Liu Dai's memorial to impeach Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others.
As a royal family, Liu Dai ran from Yanzhou to Luoyang. After many twists and turns, he just took up the post of Da Sinong.
After Yang Biao finished reading, he raised his head and stared blankly at Wang Yun, and said, "What does Zi Shi mean?"
Wang Yun raised his hand and said: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty was surrounded by the Shangdang. Lu Zhi's overseer was ineffective, and he sat in Taiyuan and did not go forward. The crime is heavy. Cao Cao's defeat should be punished. As for Dong Zhuo, the officials think that he can no longer stay. Your Majesty I have not yet returned to Beijing, and the prime minister needs to make a decision."
"You don't know that His Majesty has returned to Beijing..."
Yang Biao sighed inwardly, this Wang Yun would really make trouble for him.
Wang Yun's eyes were calm, but he stared at Yang Biao secretly and sharply.
He just wants to tear these people apart before everyone knows that Liu Bian has quietly returned to Beijing, so that Liu Bian can see clearly!
Yang Biao put on a majestic look on his plump face, pretending to ponder and said: "Master, what do you think should be done?"
Wang Yundao: "Of course, I would like to invite Your Majesty to take these three people to Beijing to discuss their crimes!"
Yang Biao was still thinking about it, and after a while, he said, "Okay. I will present this memorial to Your Majesty face to face."
Wang Yun was startled and stared at Yang Biao. When did he talk so easily?
Yang Biao put away the memorabilia, and turned to say: "Master, I think that after the imperial reorganization, there are many redundant officials left, causing trouble all day long, and consuming the treasury's money and food. I want to cut them down. What do you think?"
Wang Yun became more suspicious. Yang Biao, started to do something?
This is not good news for him!
Seeing that Wang Yun was silent, Yang Biao blinked his small eyes, and said more directly: "I plan to abolish the Sangong Mansion, Jiuqing, Sili, Henan Yin and many other redundant officials."
The Sangong Mansion was dismissed, the Jiuqing was reduced, and there were many redundant officials.
Seeing Yang Biao speak so bluntly, Wang Yun felt less apprehensive, and asked, "What does the prime minister mean?"
Yang Biao said solemnly: "Dong Zhuo is not here, I want Master Zi to write a letter with me, requesting His Majesty's imperial approval, and Shangshutai will be responsible for the abolition."
As Yang Biao said, he inadvertently put his hand on the playbook Wang Yun handed him.
Wang Yun noticed it, his expression remained unchanged, and said: "Shangshutai is responsible for the abolition?"
Cutting down officials is of course offending people, but if it can be handled well, it is also a good opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to gain power and win people's hearts!
"Naturally." Yang Biao said, without taking his eyes off Wang Yun's face for a moment.
Wang Yun glanced at Yang Biao's notebook, and after a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Yang Biao's fat face was serious, and he raised his hand toward the door.
The servant came in with a pen and ink and put it on the small table.
Wang Yun and Yang Biao looked at each other, full of doubts in their hearts, always felt that Yang Biao was a little abnormal today.
'If it is a joint signature, I am not afraid that he will plot against me. '
Thinking in his heart, Wang Yun picked up the pen, thought it over for a while, and wrote more than 100 characters, then stopped the pen suddenly, and said: "Prime Minister, it is not appropriate for an official to write later, please write the pen."
Without hesitation, Yang Biao took it over and glanced at it, picked up the pen, wrote more than 200 words in a profuse manner, signed it, and pushed it to Wang Yun, saying: "Zi Shi."
Wang Yun read it carefully from beginning to end, and found no trap at all. He looked up at Yang Biao for a moment, picked up a pen, and signed his name.
Seeing this, Yang Biao was overjoyed, took it over calmly, put it in his hand, and said: "Master, I think that the Imperial Army and the Habayashi Army are not enough to protect Gyeonggi. I would like to ask Your Majesty to expand the Habayashi Army, Forbidden Army, what do you think?"
Wang Yun's goal has been achieved, and he wanted to leave, so he said casually: "The lower official agrees."
Yang Biao immediately said: "Then, you and I sign together?"
"Okay." Wang Yun didn't hesitate.Expansion of the Forbidden Army and the Habayashi Army has nothing to do with tricks.
Yang Biao picked up the pen, swayed and wrote more than 200 characters, signed it, and pushed it to Wang Yun.
Wang Yun glanced at it and signed it with a pen.
When Yang Biao saw the word 'Wang Yun' which was still wet, he was secretly excited. Should he also sign the last one?
After Wang Yun finished writing, although he didn't notice anything, he still felt uneasy. He raised his hand and said, "Prime Minister, what do you think about the cost of money and food?"
'never mind. '
Yang Biao was worried that Wang Yun's signature would be exposed, so he said calmly: "This matter still needs to be discussed by the Shangshutai."
Seeing Yang Biao's evasion, Wang Yun paused, raised his hand and said, "If that's the case, I'll take my leave."
Yang Biao smiled and watched Wang Yun go out.
As soon as Wang Yun left, Yang Biao excitedly flipped through the two playbooks signed by Wang Yun just now, and said with great joy: "That's great, that's great..."
With Wang Yun's signature, the reduction of officials became the business of Shang Shutai, not the fault of Yang Biao, the prime minister!
"I think this prince probably knows that His Majesty has returned to Beijing." Wang Lang came in through the side door.
Yang Biao was taken aback, and said: "Your Majesty has already looked for him? Impossible, Your Majesty will not go around me to see Wang Yun."
Wang Lang said: "I probably haven't seen it, but Wang Yun must know that His Majesty has returned to Beijing, otherwise he would not have sent this memorial in the middle of the night, and he can send it to Shangdang County by himself."
The Yang family suddenly came to a realization, turned their heads and looked outside the door, it was pitch black, with an angry look on their face, and said: "You mean, Wang Yun came here to harm me on purpose?"
Wang Lang had already picked up Liu Dai's memorabilia, read it over, shook his head and said, "It seems that this prince has already won many people over quietly."
Yang Biao was deeply angry at Wang Yun's framing of him, he didn't hide it, and said with a gloomy face, "What should I do?"
In the past, only Liu Bian was trying to trick him, but now, Wang Yun dared to dig a hole for him!
Wang Lang sat on Wang Yun's seat, looked at Yang Biao seriously, and said, "Wang Yun, I'm afraid he has lost his mind."
Yang Biao snorted coldly and said, "Thoughts? What kind of thoughts? Could it be that he still wants to be the prime minister!"
As soon as Yang Biao finished speaking, his expression froze, his eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Lang in astonishment.
Wang Lang took the time to pour himself a cup of tea, but didn't answer.
Dong Zhuo lost his military power and was completely at the mercy of others. Why did Wang Yun rush to catch up and come to the prime minister's mansion late at night?
Dong Zhuo, who worked so hard to get rid of, may have thoughts for the country, but he must also have a purpose for himself!
What purpose can Wang Yun have? Above him, there is only one prime minister——Yang Biao!
It took Yang Biao a while to recover, and he said in disbelief, "How long has it been since he went from minister to minister? Isn't he too impatient?"
Wang Lang said calmly, "This prince is different from you. He obviously wants to do many things."
The corners of Yang Biao's face twitched, and his head was dripping with cold sweat. He looked at Wang Lang anxiously and said, "What should I do?"
With Liu Bian alone, it was enough to make Yang Biao tremble with fear, and he couldn't sleep at night.And there is Wang Yun who shoots back arrows from time to time behind him, he will die if he doesn't die!
The corners of Wang Langkuan's face became firm, his eyes were cold and sharp, and he said, "Save Dong Zhuo!"
Yang Biao was taken aback, and said, "You said, let me protect Dong Zhuo?"
Yang Biao couldn't help but be shocked. Everyone in the court and the public didn't know that Dong Zhuo was a tiger and wolf. How many people in the court could tolerate Dong Zhuo?
Wang Lang's eyes sparkled, and he said: "Whether to kill Dong Zhuo or not, Wang Yun's decision doesn't matter, and yours doesn't matter, it still depends on the attitude of the palace. If the palace wants to kill Dong Zhuo, there are reasons in Bingzhou."
Yang Biao's expression slowly softened, and he pondered deeply.
After just a few breaths, he said thoughtfully: "Dong Zhuo can be killed or not, but Lu Zhi and Cao Cao must not be killed, or even questioned. His Majesty saved Cao Cao not once or twice, obviously. It is to be reused. Wang Yun tied these three people together, and he will definitely be frustrated!"
"It's not the right time to kill Dong Zhuo," Wang Lang said.Yu Jia personally conquered, won a big victory, and the whole man was boiling. What's the benefit of killing Dong Zhuo at this time?
Killing Dong Zhuo should be to use Dong Zhuo's head to appease people's hearts at a time when the government and the people are in turmoil and the family is boiling.
Yang Biao sat up straight, looked at Wang Lang and said, "Tomorrow, I will hold a meeting at Shangshutai to discuss this military achievement!"
Wang Lang suddenly laughed, and said, "Aren't you afraid to tear yourself apart with Wang Yun?"
Yang Biao said indifferently: "A discussion is a discussion. I will respect Master Wang's opinion."
Wang Lang's eyes showed a strange look. Is this Yang Biao planning to fight back against Wang Yun?
……
When Wang Yun left the Yang Mansion, his face was sullen, and he quickly got into the carriage.
"Let Li Ru come to see me." After walking for a long time, Wang Yun said calmly.
Yang Biao's abnormal behavior aroused Wang Yun's suspicion.
The coachman responded and hurried back to the palace.
To the east of Yang Mansion, in an unremarkable courtyard near the corner of the city gate, hundreds of people gathered silently.
In the backyard, in a clean and bright room, Liu Bian was half leaning on the pillow, and the serious Huangfu Jianzhang was sitting opposite him kneeling.
Tang Ji was on the side, making tea for Liu Bian.
"In short, use all the people and things available to explore all the news you want to know,"
Liu Bian took the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly to Huangfu Jian: "Be secretive, use one line, use secret words, have goals, layer upon layer, and have long branches..."
Huangfu Jian had a serious face, completely without the frivolousness of the past, every word of Liu Bian's words fell into his ears clearly.
After a long list, Liu Bian smiled and said, "Tell me, what do you think?"
Huangfu Jianchang looked up at Liu Bian, hesitation flashed on his face, he lowered his head, and said cautiously: "Chen, I will try to send someone to Hejian."
"Hejian?"
Liu Bian was startled, but he suddenly understood, and said, "You don't need to worry about that."
Empress Dowager Dong is in Hejian!
When Huangfu Jianchang heard it, he tentatively said: "Then, the minister sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
At this time, Pan Yin stepped in quietly, glanced at Huangfu Jianchang, and whispered behind Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, the prince has gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion and stayed for half an hour."
Huangfu Jian listened clearly for a long time, his face became stiff immediately, and his heart was filled with panic.
"Wang Yun?"
Liu Bian's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "I heard that Cao Cao is looking for staff everywhere?"
Cao Cao's several defeats were considered to be due to the lack of support from wise men, so he couldn't wait to "buy at a high price" staff.
"Yes." Pan Yin nodded, wondering why Liu Bian suddenly mentioned Cao Cao.
Huangfu Jian didn't know either.
However, he will know the next moment.
Liu Bian took the teacup from Tang Ji again and said, "Use your method to send some people to Cao Cao."
Cao Cao?
Huangfu Jianchang was a little dazed, but suddenly woke up, and prostrated himself on the ground, saying: "Your minister leads the decree!"
Liu Bian blew on the tea and said, "Go."
"Resignation!" Huangfu Jian said in a long voice, then stood up, raised his hands, and stepped back slowly.
Liu Bian looked at his back, paused, turned his head and whispered to Pan Yin, "When will Zuo Li and Dong Zhuo return to Beijing?"
Pan Yin said: "It is estimated that there will be half a month."
There are too many people and things to clean up in Bingzhou, and the two of them are non-stop, and it still takes a long time.
Liu Bian nodded lightly, and said: "Decree, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses will return to the Forbidden Army's camp, and Zhao Yun will take over the Beigong Imperial Army. The training of the Forbidden Army must strictly follow the training manual of the Great Sima."
The so-called "army training manual" is also the result of "discussions" between Liu Bian and Huang Fusong.
"Yes." Pan Yin replied.
Liu Bian hummed, pulled Tang Ji up, turned around, and said: "Tomorrow, find a place, I want to have a good chat with Cai Yong."
At this time, Huangfu Jianchang suddenly left and returned, and stood at the door.
Liu Bian heard footsteps and turned to look at him.
Seeing Liu Bian holding Tang Ji in his arms, Huangfu Jian hesitated for a while, but still stepped forward quickly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Shangshu Li Ru and Liu Dai have entered the prince's mansion."
Liu Bian frowned, and immediately said, "I'll give you a chance to quietly find out what they're talking about."
"The minister leads the decree!" Huangfu Jianchang's face suddenly became tense, and he replied in a deep voice.
Liu Bian waved his hand, looking at the bed that was close at hand, with a strange expression on his face.
How come there is a gradually familiar smell?
……
Inside the Shangshutai.
Xun You is probably the busiest person in Shangshutai, and even the big and small officials who accompanied him to Li Cao couldn't rest.
There is a long list in front of Xun You, mainly filling the vacancies of Bingzhou officials.
There are five or sixty people ranging from prefects and captains to county magistrates and county lieutenants.
Standing in front of him are two servants, one of Li Cao's six servants.
Although Shangshu's Pin Yi has been improved, but the Minister's is not. The Shang Shu's Pin Yi was originally very low, and the Minister's is even lower. Therefore, there suddenly seems to be an insurmountable natural moat between the Minister and the Minister.
One of the servants said: "Shang Shu, can the prime minister and the prince agree to this list?"
This list was basically drawn up by Xun You, He Yong, Zhong Yao and others, and it has not been reported to Yang Biao and Wang Yun.
Xun You frowned when he heard that, he already knew that Wang Yun was quietly investigating him.
Another servant said: "I heard that Li Shangshu and others seem to have drawn up a list."
Xun You's complexion changed slightly, and just as he was about to ask a question, a small official hurried in and said, "Shang Shu, the Prime Minister's Mansion has sent a message that it will be tomorrow at the Shang Shutai to discuss matters."
Xun You glanced at the pitch-black sky outside, showing doubts on his face, and said, "Who is there?"
"Prince, Shangshu, Zhong Tingwei, four people." The little official said.
Xun You's eyes became vigilant, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Yang Biao smiled and watched Wang Yun go out.
As soon as Wang Yun left, Yang Biao excitedly flipped through the two playbooks signed by Wang Yun just now, and said with great joy: "That's great, that's great..."
With Wang Yun's signature, the reduction of officials became the business of Shang Shutai, not the fault of Yang Biao, the prime minister!
"I think this prince probably knows that His Majesty has returned to Beijing." Wang Lang came in through the side door.
Yang Biao was taken aback, and said: "Your Majesty has already looked for him? Impossible, Your Majesty will not go around me to see Wang Yun."
Wang Lang said: "I probably haven't seen it, but Wang Yun must know that His Majesty has returned to Beijing, otherwise he would not have sent this memorial in the middle of the night, and he can send it to Shangdang County by himself."
The Yang family suddenly came to a realization, turned their heads and looked outside the door, it was pitch black, with an angry look on their face, and said: "You mean, Wang Yun came here to harm me on purpose?"
Wang Lang had already picked up Liu Dai's memorabilia, read it over, shook his head and said, "It seems that this prince has already won many people over quietly."
Yang Biao was deeply angry at Wang Yun's framing of him, he didn't hide it, and said with a gloomy face, "What should I do?"
In the past, only Liu Bian was trying to trick him, but now, Wang Yun dared to dig a hole for him!
Wang Lang sat on Wang Yun's seat, looked at Yang Biao seriously, and said, "Wang Yun, I'm afraid he has lost his mind."
Yang Biao snorted coldly and said, "Thoughts? What kind of thoughts? Could it be that he still wants to be the prime minister!"
As soon as Yang Biao finished speaking, his expression froze, his eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Lang in astonishment.
Wang Lang took the time to pour himself a cup of tea, but didn't answer.
Dong Zhuo lost his military power and was completely at the mercy of others. Why did Wang Yun rush to catch up and come to the prime minister's mansion late at night?
Dong Zhuo, who worked so hard to get rid of, may have thoughts for the country, but he must also have a purpose for himself!
What purpose can Wang Yun have? Above him, there is only one prime minister——Yang Biao!
It took Yang Biao a while to recover, and he said in disbelief, "How long has it been since he went from minister to minister? Isn't he too impatient?"
Wang Lang said calmly, "This prince is different from you. He obviously wants to do many things."
The corners of Yang Biao's face twitched, and his head was dripping with cold sweat. He looked at Wang Lang anxiously and said, "What should I do?"
With Liu Bian alone, it was enough to make Yang Biao tremble with fear, and he couldn't sleep at night.And there is Wang Yun who shoots back arrows from time to time behind him, he will die if he doesn't die!
The corners of Wang Langkuan's face became firm, his eyes were cold and sharp, and he said, "Save Dong Zhuo!"
Yang Biao was taken aback, and said, "You said, let me protect Dong Zhuo?"
Yang Biao couldn't help but be shocked. Everyone in the court and the public didn't know that Dong Zhuo was a tiger and wolf. How many people in the court could tolerate Dong Zhuo?
Wang Lang's eyes sparkled, and he said: "Whether to kill Dong Zhuo or not, Wang Yun's decision doesn't matter, and yours doesn't matter, it still depends on the attitude of the palace. If the palace wants to kill Dong Zhuo, there are reasons in Bingzhou."
Yang Biao's expression slowly softened, and he pondered deeply.
After just a few breaths, he said thoughtfully: "Dong Zhuo can be killed or not, but Lu Zhi and Cao Cao must not be killed, or even questioned. His Majesty saved Cao Cao not once or twice, obviously. It is to be reused. Wang Yun tied these three people together, and he will definitely be frustrated!"
"It's not the right time to kill Dong Zhuo," Wang Lang said.Yu Jia personally conquered, won a big victory, and the whole man was boiling. What's the benefit of killing Dong Zhuo at this time?
Killing Dong Zhuo should be to use Dong Zhuo's head to appease people's hearts at a time when the government and the people are in turmoil and the family is boiling.
Yang Biao sat up straight, looked at Wang Lang and said, "Tomorrow, I will hold a meeting at Shangshutai to discuss this military achievement!"
Wang Lang suddenly laughed, and said, "Aren't you afraid to tear yourself apart with Wang Yun?"
Yang Biao said indifferently: "A discussion is a discussion. I will respect Master Wang's opinion."
Wang Lang's eyes showed a strange look. Is this Yang Biao planning to fight back against Wang Yun?
……
When Wang Yun left the Yang Mansion, his face was sullen, and he quickly got into the carriage.
"Let Li Ru come to see me." After walking for a long time, Wang Yun said calmly.
Yang Biao's abnormal behavior aroused Wang Yun's suspicion.
The coachman responded and hurried back to the palace.
To the east of Yang Mansion, in an unremarkable courtyard near the corner of the city gate, hundreds of people gathered silently.
In the backyard, in a clean and bright room, Liu Bian was half leaning on the pillow, and the serious Huangfu Jianzhang was sitting opposite him kneeling.
Tang Ji was on the side, making tea for Liu Bian.
"In short, use all the people and things available to explore all the news you want to know,"
Liu Bian took the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly to Huangfu Jian: "Be secretive, use one line, use secret words, have goals, layer upon layer, and have long branches..."
Huangfu Jian had a serious face, completely without the frivolousness of the past, every word of Liu Bian's words fell into his ears clearly.
After a long list, Liu Bian smiled and said, "Tell me, what do you think?"
Huangfu Jianchang looked up at Liu Bian, hesitation flashed on his face, he lowered his head, and said cautiously: "Chen, I will try to send someone to Hejian."
"Hejian?"
Liu Bian was startled, but he suddenly understood, and said, "You don't need to worry about that."
Empress Dowager Dong is in Hejian!
When Huangfu Jianchang heard it, he tentatively said: "Then, the minister sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
At this time, Pan Yin stepped in quietly, glanced at Huangfu Jianchang, and whispered behind Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, the prince has gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion and stayed for half an hour."
Huangfu Jian listened clearly for a long time, his face became stiff immediately, and his heart was filled with panic.
"Wang Yun?"
Liu Bian's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "I heard that Cao Cao is looking for staff everywhere?"
Cao Cao's several defeats were considered to be due to the lack of support from wise men, so he couldn't wait to "buy at a high price" staff.
"Yes." Pan Yin nodded, wondering why Liu Bian suddenly mentioned Cao Cao.
Huangfu Jian didn't know either.
However, he will know the next moment.
Liu Bian took the teacup from Tang Ji again and said, "Use your method to send some people to Cao Cao."
Cao Cao?
Huangfu Jianchang was a little dazed, but suddenly woke up, and prostrated himself on the ground, saying: "Your minister leads the decree!"
Liu Bian blew on the tea and said, "Go."
"Resignation!" Huangfu Jian said in a long voice, then stood up, raised his hands, and stepped back slowly.
Liu Bian looked at his back, paused, turned his head and whispered to Pan Yin, "When will Zuo Li and Dong Zhuo return to Beijing?"
Pan Yin said: "It is estimated that there will be half a month."
There are too many people and things to clean up in Bingzhou, and the two of them are non-stop, and it still takes a long time.
Liu Bian nodded lightly, and said: "Decree, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses will return to the Forbidden Army's camp, and Zhao Yun will take over the Beigong Imperial Army. The training of the Forbidden Army must strictly follow the training manual of the Great Sima."
The so-called "army training manual" is also the result of "discussions" between Liu Bian and Huang Fusong.
"Yes." Pan Yin replied.
Liu Bian hummed, pulled Tang Ji up, turned around, and said: "Tomorrow, find a place, I want to have a good chat with Cai Yong."
At this time, Huangfu Jianchang suddenly left and returned, and stood at the door.
Liu Bian heard footsteps and turned to look at him.
Seeing Liu Bian holding Tang Ji in his arms, Huangfu Jian hesitated for a while, but still stepped forward quickly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Shangshu Li Ru and Liu Dai have entered the prince's mansion."
Liu Bian frowned, and immediately said, "I'll give you a chance to quietly find out what they're talking about."
"The minister leads the decree!" Huangfu Jianchang's face suddenly became tense, and he replied in a deep voice.
Liu Bian waved his hand, looking at the bed that was close at hand, with a strange expression on his face.
How come there is a gradually familiar smell?
……
Inside the Shangshutai.
Xun You is probably the busiest person in Shangshutai, and even the big and small officials who accompanied him to Li Cao couldn't rest.
There is a long list in front of Xun You, mainly filling the vacancies of Bingzhou officials.
There are five or sixty people ranging from prefects and captains to county magistrates and county lieutenants.
Standing in front of him are two servants, one of Li Cao's six servants.
Although Shangshu's Pin Yi has been improved, but the Minister's is not. The Shang Shu's Pin Yi was originally very low, and the Minister's is even lower. Therefore, there suddenly seems to be an insurmountable natural moat between the Minister and the Minister.
One of the servants said: "Shang Shu, can the prime minister and the prince agree to this list?"
This list was basically drawn up by Xun You, He Yong, Zhong Yao and others, and it has not been reported to Yang Biao and Wang Yun.
Xun You frowned when he heard that, he already knew that Wang Yun was quietly investigating him.
Another servant said: "I heard that Li Shangshu and others seem to have drawn up a list."
Xun You's complexion changed slightly, and just as he was about to ask a question, a small official hurried in and said, "Shang Shu, the Prime Minister's Mansion has sent a message that it will be tomorrow at the Shang Shutai to discuss matters."
Xun You glanced at the pitch-black sky outside, showing doubts on his face, and said, "Who is there?"
"Prince, Shangshu, Zhong Tingwei, four people." The little official said.
Xun You's eyes became vigilant, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
