Chapter 111 Ancient Evil Comes
In fact, it is not only the appointment list of Bingzhou officials, but also a list of Bingzhou's meritorious service.

Xun You can guess that tomorrow he will probably have a confrontation with Wang Yun and others.

You can't let Wang Yun and others go directly to the palace to argue with His Majesty, right?
Xun You pondered for a while, and said, "You guys go, I'll see Zhong Tingwei later."

Several servants also guessed something, raised their hands one after another, and left.

Xun You looked at the list in front of him again, and noticed a few unremarkable names, which were filled for Jingzhou.

"Jingzhou?" Xun You looked thoughtful.

Before he finished speaking, a hunched-backed servant with white hair came in from the door.

When Xun You heard the voice, he turned his head to look, got up quickly, raised his hand and said, "Private Ding."

Ding Su looked like a kind old man. He raised his hands politely with Xun You, and said with a smile, "Shangshu Xun is still worrying about business at such a late hour, which is admirable."

Xun You respected Ding Su a lot, asked him to sit down, and said, "What's the matter with the servant coming to see me late at night?"

The imperial servant is an official position in the palace, which belongs to Da Changqiu, and it is different from the imperial servant of Jiuqing outside the palace.

Ding Su sat opposite Xun You, and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty has arrived in Beijing."

Xun You was startled, but immediately regained his composure, and said, "Your Majesty is still worried about Luoyang."

Ding Su sighed softly, and said: "The general led his troops to kill the forbidden palace, and we are the ones who survived by chance. Although the general is dead, it is still difficult to clear the whole story."

It was the first time that Xun You knew that He Jin was dead. As a former staff member, he was stunned and didn't know what to say for a while.

Ding Su looked at him and explained seriously: "The general committed suicide, not because of His Majesty's compulsion."

Xun You raised his hand and said, "Yes."

Ding Su couldn't tell whether he believed him or not, so he paused for a moment and said, "The reason why the general suddenly 'sick' is because someone is in Hejian, intending to poison the empress dowager, and falsely accused him of being sent by the general. , the general had to avoid suspicion.”

Xun You's eyes were wide open, and he looked at Ding Su in astonishment. His heart was shaken, his mouth opened, but he couldn't make a sound.

He had always guessed that He Jin's 'sickness' was because He Jin got carried away and acted recklessly, but he didn't expect that there was such an inside story!

Seeing Xun You's expression, Ding Su shook his head secretly. There are more shocking inside stories.

But he couldn't talk to Xun You, let Xun You digest it for a while, and said: "The Empress Dowager has a feeling of missing her grandson, and Your Majesty also has a heart of filial piety. I have already sent people to invite the Empress Dowager to return to Beijing. When the time comes, I will invite Shangshu to welcome her. Find out where the empress dowager wants to live."

Xun You immediately knew what Ding Su wanted him for, and also understood that this was what Liu Bian meant.

Thinking about the meaning of these words, Xun You raised his hand solemnly and said, "I understand."

Ding Su smiled, then sighed again, and said: "That palace change is vivid in my mind, and I still have lingering fears when I think about it. Your majesty is benevolent, and I can't bear to kill again."

In that palace change, Yuan Shao led his troops to fight all the way from Suzaku Gate to Xuanwu Gate. All the internal eunuchs in the palace were killed without distinction, and no one was left alive.

If Liu Bian hadn't stopped shouting, Yuan Shao would have almost killed the palace. Ding Su, Xu Yan and others hid in the Shou'an Hall next to the Jingfu Hall, and escaped by luck.

Xun You was a little puzzled, why did Ding Su send these emotions to him?
After Ding Su said this sentence, he restrained his emotions and said: "Some royal families seem to have some slander against His Majesty's succession."

Xun You's expression suddenly changed, and he frowned solemnly.

As soon as Empress Dowager Dong made any movement, someone remembered the fact that the late emperor wanted to abolish his sons and establish his children.Coupled with the unsatisfactory official career, it is inevitable that other thoughts will arise.

This kind of thinking may not be uttered, but it will definitely prompt them to do something.

"What's Xun Shangshu's idea?" Ding Su asked.Someone like him who has been through a terrible crisis, the last thing he wants is for the past to repeat itself.

Xun You looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty and the King of Bohai are both the beloved sons of the late emperor. The Empress Dowager loves your Majesty just as much as the King of Bohai. Your Majesty is the crown prince in the East Palace. Everyone in the world knows that his succession is justified and in line with the general rule." , all the ministers will see, it is irrefutable!"

On the issue of succession, Liu Bian was indeed indisputable, but it was Lingdi's act of abolishing his father and establishing his son, which left room for some people to imagine.

Ding Su stood up with a smile and said, "Then I won't bother Shangshu Xun."

Xun You got up, raised his hand and said, "Private Ding, go slowly."

Xun You watched Ding Su go out, and thought to himself: It seems that we must intensify our efforts to publicize the achievements of His Majesty's personal conquest, and kill those people's delusions.

Ding Su left the Shangshutai, walked alone on the dark road with a lamp, and was about to return to the alley.

Not far away, a light suddenly lit up not far in front, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Ding Su was startled, and stood still.

At the corner, three people walked out, two carrying lamps, and Empress Dowager He in the middle was very eye-catching.

Ding Su was startled, stepped forward quickly, and said, "The villain has seen the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager He waved, and the two people behind her retreated far away.

Under Ding Su's light, Empress Dowager He said with indifference on her face and dim eyes, "Has anyone seen that old woman before?"

Ding Su has been in the palace for too long, and he witnessed the Empress Dowager He entering the palace, gaining favor, competing for favor with the harem, fighting openly and secretly with Empress Dowager Dong, and so on.

I know that Empress Dowager He is very sensitive about Empress Dowager Dong's plan to return to Beijing, and he can't get involved in this matter!
Ding Su bowed his body, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Go back to the Queen Mother, the villain doesn't know."

Empress Dowager He's eyes became more indifferent, and she said, "Look behind you before answering what I said."

Ding Su turned his head, and in the darkness not far away, there were a few guards standing with their hands on the handles of their knives.

Ding Su's heart trembled, and he said hastily: "Queen Mother, the villain really doesn't know."

Empress Dowager He stared at him and said, "Tang Ji is at Bian'er?"

"The villain doesn't know." Ding Su said.

Empress Dowager He stared at him for a while with cold eyes, and said, "I ask you, is there any news outside the palace about the general and the people around him."

Ding Su was terrified in his heart, thought about it seriously, and said, "The villain doesn't know."

"Do you really think that I won't kill you?" The Empress Dowager He raised her chin slightly, squinted at Ding Su, and said in a flat tone.

Ding Su knew the inside story of Wang Meiren's death, he knelt down with a puff, and said, "Back to the queen mother, the villain is often in the palace and hasn't been out of the palace for a long time. I really don't know. Please learn from the queen mother!"

Empress Dowager He was angry in her heart, with murderous intent on her face. After a while, she recovered her expressionless face, and said: "You have always done things properly. I have something to tell you. You take a few people out of the palace and go to Jizhou to investigate some If you have any news about the general, the old woman, and Liu Xie, write to me immediately. Also, don’t let Bian’er know about this matter, otherwise, I will punish you and the three clans!”

Ding Su listened to Empress Dowager He's words as cold as a knife, his heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he didn't dare to hesitate, saying: "The villain accepts Yi's decree!"

Empress Dowager He took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said, "How did Bian'er plan to deal with that old woman?"

Ding Su said: "Your Majesty has ordered people to go to the river to meet the Empress Dowager, intending to place her in the mountains outside the city."

This old woman really has a long life!

Empress Dowager He snorted coldly in her heart. It's not that she didn't want to assassinate Empress Dowager Dong, but she couldn't make Empress Dowager Dong die quietly without leaving any traces.

"What about Liu Xie?" Empress Dowager He said again.

Ding Su said: "The villain doesn't know."

"Useless things!"

Empress Dowager He scolded angrily, flicked her sleeves and left.

Ding Su waited for Empress Dowager He to go far away, then slowly got up, with a strange expression on his face, and said to himself in a low voice: "It's obviously about Empress Dowager Dong, why is the general involved?"

Ding Su didn't dare to think too much, and hurried back, preparing to pack his things and leave the palace tomorrow.

As soon as he took a few steps, several guards behind him followed.

Ding Su froze, he had been in the palace for a long time, he didn't know the purpose of these people, his face showed bitterness.

……

Early the next morning, Liu Bian appeared at the gate of Hongdu School.

Standing beside him was Cai Yong with a very cautious expression and an uneasy heart.

Cai Yong knew from his daughter yesterday that Liu Bian had returned to Luoyang ahead of schedule, but he didn't expect that Liu Bian would show up at Hongdu School, and even summoned him early in the morning!
Liu Bian glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and went straight in without saying anything.

Cai Yong became even more uneasy, and followed Liu Bian step by step.

After a few steps in, I saw some young people lying on the side of the road, disheveled, smelling of alcohol, and a pungent smell of powder.

When Cai Yong saw it, the corners of his face became stiff, his heart was full of anger and fear, and his heart rose to his throat.

Liu Bian didn't speak, and walked towards the dormitory of Hongdu Menxue.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard extremely noisy voices from inside. Standing not far away, I could see a group of people through the crack of the door, yelling shirtless, and the sound of ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, and ping.

It's like gambling!
There were even some women who put on their clothes in a hurry and came out from one door after another. When they saw Liu Bian and others, they ran away in a hurry.

Cai Yong's face turned pale, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

He knew that Hongdu school was neglected in management, but he never expected that it would reach this point!
puff

Cai Yong fell to the ground and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Bian's expression became extremely ugly.

This is even more absurd than what he saw yesterday!

His heart was filled with anger, and he tried not to let it out, and suddenly said coldly: "I ask you, is it the same with Taixue?"

Cai Yong fell on the ground, trembling at the corner of his mouth and said: "It should, it shouldn't be like this..."

Liu Bian looked at him and said, "Zhen will send someone from the palace to assist you."

This is not assistance!Cai Yong's heart was like a mirror, and he said repeatedly: "The ministers take the orders."

Liu Bian snorted coldly and walked inside.

A cold snort made Cai Yong tremble with fear, seeing Liu Bian go, he hurriedly got up to follow.

Walking into the college, I saw that the craftsmen were already busy early in the morning, and there were knocking sounds everywhere.

Liu Bian said blankly, "Where did you get the money to repair the yard?"

Cai Yong bowed and said anxiously: "Yes, it was donated from various places."

Liu Bian folded his hands behind his back and said, "My treasury is empty, and I donated publicly. I only got 2000 million in three months. Your face is bigger than mine."

Cai Yong's legs went limp, and he almost knelt down again, his face was so stiff that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Seeing Cai Yong, Pan Yin also shook her head secretly.

The reputation of this person is resounding, but he did not expect things to happen like this.

At this time, a very tall and strong man, holding a beam by himself, passed not far in front of them.

Liu Bian looked at it in a daze.

This person is estimated to be two meters high, and at least five or six people can move that beam, but he is alone, and it doesn't seem to be very difficult to carry it.



He threw the beam on the ground, turned his head and said to a middle-aged man who was shaved his teeth not far away: "Give me the money!"

The middle-aged man half-lyed on the ground, covered his face with a straw hat, and said casually: "The work is not finished yet, what kind of money are you getting?"

The big man's momentum changed, and he said: "You said that you will pay me after I move the beams!"

The lying middle-aged man hiccupped and said, "There are still plenty of beams, so hurry up and do it, and I'll be the first to give it to you when the money is distributed!"

The big man rushed forward in two steps, pulled the middle-aged man up like a chicken, and said loudly: "My mother is waiting for money to treat the disease, you must give me the money!"

The middle-aged man took his time, threw away the toothpick in his hand, and said calmly: "If you mess around, I won't give you the money you had before, so let me go."

The big man turned his back to Liu Bian, and couldn't see his expression clearly. He lifted the middle-aged man high, as if he was about to fall.

With this man's arm strength, that middle-aged man would definitely die on the spot!
The middle-aged man looked disdainful and said, "You try?"

The big man held it up for a while, stalemate, and slowly put the middle-aged man on the ground.

The man turned around, with an annoyed look on his face, and went to move the beams again.

The middle-aged man flicked his clothes, sneered, and was about to lie down again leisurely, when he suddenly saw Liu Bian and his party, especially Cai Yong, his eyes changed slightly, and his face was suddenly full of smiles. He walked over quickly, raised his hands and said: " The villain has seen it too often, this courtyard is under construction, and I dare not delay for a moment, the villain came early in the morning..."

Cai Yong's face was like a pig's liver, and he stared at him coldly, with warning hints constantly flashing in his eyes.

The middle-aged man seemed to realize that Cai Yong was standing behind Liu Bian, and looked at Liu Bian with some doubts.

Liu Bian smelled alcohol on his body, frowned, and said, "How much do you owe that man?"

The man who was just about to move the beam suddenly turned around and looked down at Liu Bian.

The middle-aged man glanced at him and said: "The villain didn't owe him any money. He is a craftsman recruited by the villain. He needs money before he does much work. How can there be such a rule? Besides, he eats too much , one person is worth five, and they were kicked out of the Chenliu barracks because they ate too much..."

"You explain too much,"

Liu Bian looked indifferently, looked at the man, and said, "Come here, I'll ask you for money."

Hearing this, the man strode over and stared straight at Liu Bian.

But the middle-aged man was unwilling, and said to Cai Yong: "Too often, the villain has no money in his hands, these materials, what they eat and drink every day, the villain is still waiting for you to send money..."

Cai Yong has always been good-tempered, and for the first time the urge to kill came from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to immediately shut up the bastard in front of him forever!

Liu Bian ignored him and looked at the man in front of him.

He is tall and big, with a big face, eyes like bells, rough skin, dull and fierce.

"How much did he promise you?" Liu Bian looked at him and asked.

"Three hundred dollars." The man said in a low voice.

Liu Bian saw the eager hope in his eyes, turned to Cai Yong, and said calmly: "Cai Yong, three hundred yuan, no, five hundred yuan, can we settle it? Now."

Cai Yong quickly raised his hand, and said urgently: "It's done, it's done right away, it's done right away."

The middle-aged man was still talking, Cai Yong pulled him away, and said angrily: "Take the money, just say a word, I'll send you to Tingwei Mansion!"

Seeing Cai Yong getting angry, the middle-aged man glanced at Liu Bian again, his neck suddenly turned cold, and he said repeatedly: "Yes, the villain is going to get the money now."

Liu Bian understood that Cai Yong was good at reading, but not doing things at all.

It was time to find someone else to 'assist' him.

Silently, someone from the Zhonghuang Gate in the palace came over and whispered a few words behind Pan Yin.

Pan Yin hummed and stood still.

Not long after, the middle-aged man ran back, carrying a bag of money, which was so heavy that he couldn't handle it, handed it to the man and said, "Five hundred dollars, here you are, hurry up!"

The man took the money, opened his eyes, then clasped his fist fiercely, and argued to Liu, "Dare to ask your benefactor's name?"

He was tall and burly, and when he raised his hand, it was on top of Liu Bian's head.

Liu Bian coughed, feeling embarrassed to be compared in the toilet, and said, "Don't worry about trivial matters."

After speaking, he lifted his foot and left.

Just as the man was about to say more, Pan Yin had already followed and whispered in Liu Bian's ear, "Your Majesty, the prime minister has entered the palace."

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Okay, let's see what these two want to do."

This one obviously has a huge advantage, but he just refuses to use it and pushes it away.One is arrogant and arrogant, no one looks down on her, and she is not busy with business all day long.

However, the imperial court still consisted of these two people, and the others couldn't support it at all.

"It's time..." Liu Bian blurted out with some emotion.

He needs time, needs time to plan many things, and also needs time to let some people grow up and support the Han court.

Pan Yin waited for Liu Bian to finish his emotion, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Ding Su left the palace, it is said that he followed the Queen Mother's order."

Liu Bian was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at him, and said, "The Queen Mother's edict? Did you leave any words?"

Pan Yin shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything, I left that night."

Liu Bian looked weird, thought for a while, and said: "When I go back to the palace, I will ask the queen mother."

Pan Yin didn't say any more, surrounded Liu Bian and left.

The man saw that Liu Bian seemed to be busy, so he didn't make a sound, and watched Liu Bian pass the corner.

Cai Yong anxiously and respectfully sent Liu Bian out of the Hongdu School, and when Liu Bian's back disappeared, he felt a little relieved, but the stiff corners of his face were hard to calm down.

Inside, the middle-aged man stared at the man coldly and said, "Return the money, or you will never want to stay in Luoyang!"

The man seemed to have a simple and honest face, but he became very fierce when he moved. He held the money bag high and said in a low voice: "Don't think about it!"

The middle-aged man turned around and took an iron fork, intending to stab the man.

The man held it casually, and then lifted it up vigorously.

The middle-aged man did not let go, but was lifted high.

The middle-aged man turned pale with shock, and said angrily: "Dian Wei, do you still want your wages!? Five hundred dollars can't cure your mother's illness at all!"

Dian Wei stared at him with a fierce look on his face, raised his hand higher and said, "Tell me, what is the name of your benefactor?"

The middle-aged man held on to the iron fork tightly, and said anxiously, "How would I know!? Put me down!"

Dian Wei stared at him, as if remembering that this person really didn't know, he threw him on the haystack, turned around and strode away.

The middle-aged man felt terrified, looked at Dian Wei's back, and cursed: "You wait for me, and I will see who dares to hire you! Your sick old lady, just wait for death!"

Dian Wei turned a deaf ear to it, and left Hongdu's school in a blink of an eye.

The middle-aged man took a few breaths, looked at the big sun that was just showing up again, and said to himself: "Who was that person just now, even Cai Yong was afraid?"

At this moment, Liu Bian left the school of Hongdu School and came to a scripture hall.

Liu Bian stood at the door, looking at the eloquent Liu Biao.

This one is also Uncle Liu with the surname Liu.
