Chapter 112

Liu Biao is not tall, with thin corners of his face, especially the longer beard, making his face look like a donkey's.

On the contrary, his appearance is very handsome, and he looks like a celebrity Gaoshi at first glance.

He was sitting in a group of people, opening and closing his mouth, and the people around him nodded from time to time, with expressions of thought and approval.

"The World of Today,"

Liu Biao looked around the crowd and said loudly: "A group of thieves are rising together, the world is in turmoil, the court should be the foundation, the aristocratic family is the arm, and the people should be linked together, from south to north, sweep away the thieves, lay the root of the country, and promote the way of prosperity... "

Liu Bian went in calmly, sat down at a small table, and frowned upon hearing this.

It is true that the court is the foundation, but it is questionable to use the family as the arm.

Liu Bian looked at him, thinking about his original intention.

The people around took Liu Biao's words seriously, nodded from time to time, and whispered together.

But one person got up suddenly and left.

Liu Biao remained expressionless, looked at the person who left, and said, "Brother Wang, do you have a different opinion?"

Pan Yin, who was standing behind Liu Bian, stepped forward quietly and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this is Wang Lang from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Liu Bian snorted, with a playful look on his face.

As for the people in Yang Biao's mansion, he naturally knew that this Wang Lang had been in Beijing for some time and had played the role of Yang Biao's staff.

Wang Lang's face was broad and gentle, he turned around when he heard the words, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Liu misunderstood, I have some matters, so I am eager to go back and deal with them."

Liu Biao didn't want to let him go, and said, "Brother Wang is a famous person in the East China Sea, what do you think about the current state of the country?"

The others also followed Liu Biao's gaze and looked at Wang Lang expectantly.

Wang Lang's reputation is still very good, he was born in a family and has long been famous.

Wang Lang thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I secretly think that in today's world, one must be crowned and weak. If the crown is not correct, the shoes will not know where to go. Farewell."

Liu Biao was slightly taken aback, Wang Lang's words seemed to point to something, but he didn't make it clear, there was a beginning and no end.

'A straight crown and weak shoes? '

Liu Bian looked at Wang Lang's back with a thoughtful expression on his face.

'Does it mean that the imperial court is weak and the place is weak? Liu Bian thought to himself, suddenly smiled, and said to himself: "It seems that we have to continue to put pressure on the prime minister..."

Putting pressure on Yang Biao, Wang Lang, as an aide, made no difference whether he entered the court or not.

"Brother Wang's words don't convey his meaning..."

After a moment of silence, Liu Biao suddenly came back to his senses, and said with a smile to the crowd, but the conversation stopped abruptly.

He turned his eyes and saw Liu Bian not far away.

Liu Biao opened his eyes vigorously, convinced that he was not mistaken, his expression remained unchanged, and said to the crowd: "That's all for today's discussion, we will sit down another day."

A group of people were still unsatisfied, but no one spoke, and raised their hands one after another.

Liu Biao straightened his clothes calmly, came to Liu Bian and raised his hand, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Liu Biao, see Your Majesty."

"Find a place to sit." Liu Bian got up and said.

"There is a private room in the back, please, Your Majesty." Liu Biao looked as usual, but his heart was like a drum beating.

He knew that his chance had come!

He had been anxious and flustered in the capital for several months, but he didn't escape. After all, God made him wait for the opportunity!

Liu Bian followed Liu Biao to the private seat at the back of the scripture hall, took a look and sat down, and looked at Liu Biao opposite.

Sitting upright, with a calm demeanor, he looks like a quiet Ascot.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea." Liu Biao poured tea for Liu Bian, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, neither happy nor worried.

Liu Bian hummed and picked up the teacup with a smile.

This uncle is interesting.

Liu Biao was also a victim of the scourge of the party, and he ran away for many years. Later, He Jin conscripted him into the General's Mansion in order to win over scholars, and became the Marquis of the Northern Army.

However, after He Jin, the Northern Army and others were abolished, and Liu Biao 'stayed with pay' until now.

Liu Biao sat opposite Liu Bian, neither speaking nor humble.

Liu Bian observed him and said, "Someone recommended the Qing family as Jizhou shepherd, what do the Qing family think?"

The corner of Liu Biao's face twitched, and he quickly recovered his expression, saying: "I think that if you are in the court, you will share the worries of the emperor, and if you are in the state, you will plead for the people. Both are the duties of a minister, and there is no difference."

'The words are very good. '

Liu Bian changed his mind, and continued: "I intend to transfer Lu Qing's family from Bingzhou to Beijing, and there is a vacancy for Bingzhou pastoral. Who does the Qing family think is suitable?"

Liu Biao couldn't help but clenched his hands on his knees, without moving his face, he said, "Your Majesty has his own holy judgment, and I don't dare to speak out."

Liu Bian had a panoramic view of Liu Biao's expression, and noticed his subtle expression changes, the more he smiled, he said, "The Qing family thinks, Jizhou Mu or Bingzhou Mu, which one is suitable for you?"

Liu Biao's heart was shaken, but his expression was still calm. He bowed and said, "I would like to share your Majesty's worries, whether it is the court or the state."

Also a slick.

Liu Bian restrained his smile, showed consideration, and said, "Do you think Mr. Lu, Taiwei Dong, and General Cao Zhonglang should be questioned?"

'Do you want me to go to Bingzhou? '

Liu Biao didn't want to go to Bingzhou because it was a chaotic place, not a place to settle down, so he pretended to think: "I believe that those who have done something should not be blocked; those who have meritorious deeds should not be chilled."

Liu Bian has already seen that this person is also hiding his thoughts.

'It can be used. '

Liu Bian got up suddenly and said: "The Qing family is right, wait for the order."

After saying that, he just left.

Liu Biao was taken aback for a moment, and quickly raised his hand and said, "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."

After sending Liu Bian away all the way, Liu Biao frowned and looked hesitant when he couldn't see his back.

Liu Bian came too fast, his words were direct and sharp, and he didn't give him much time to react.

Liu Biao didn't want to go to Bingzhou, that place was too dangerous and a place of right and wrong, so he couldn't stay for long.

"This is Liu Zhonghou?" A young man approached him, looking at Liu Biao with some doubts.

Liu Biao suddenly woke up, nodded with the young man, and strode away.

He still has to find someone to discuss, to find out if there is another way out.

After leaving the scripture hall, Pan Yin stepped forward and handed Liu Bian an official document.

Liu Bian took it over, stopped abruptly, and raised his eyebrows again and again.

This is Zuo Li's memorabilia. The content is that Dong Zhuo was in Yanmen to eliminate rebellion and encountered difficulties from the Yanmen prefect. Dong Zhuo later found evidence that proved that the Yanmen prefect colluded with the Huns and was killed directly.

Liu Bian immediately remembered that Sun Jian also killed the prefect at every turn, without any rules or respect.

"There's no one to worry about..."

Liu Bian shook his head, how can a prefect of a county kill him at will?It was not the period of Dong Zhuo's chaos in history.

This Dong Zhuo will definitely be criticized by the government and the public!

Pan Yin stood behind Liu Bian, waited for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, Shangshutai should be discussing matters."

Liu Bian frowned, Shang Shutai was discussing two things: first, the military exploits of Lu Zhi, Cao Cao and others; second, the impeachment of Lu Zhi, Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo and others by the government and the opposition.

After a while, Pan Yin saw Liu Bian remained silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace?"

Shangshutai is probably busy now.

As soon as Liu Bian played the ensemble, he had already thought of a way, and said with a smile, "Go to the Forbidden Army camp. Pass this matter to... the prime minister."

Forbidden army camp, this is the last place Liu Bian will go to.

Pan Yin responded and hailed the carriage not far away.

At this time, the Shangshutai next to the Jiade Hall was really lively.

Prime Minister Yang Biao sat at the head of the throne, with Zuo Servant She Wang Yun, Shang Shu Xun You, and Ting Wei Zhong Yao at the head.

Yang Biao sat still, his fat face was full of calm and prestige, and there were two texts in front of him, one was Liu Dai's impeachment of Lu Zhi and others, and the other was Lu Zhi and others' meritorious documents.

Yang Biao blinked his small eyes, and said solemnly: "Everyone, express your views."

Xun You glanced at Wang Yun, and said: "Prime Minister, Lu Zhi and others have made meritorious deeds, and it is His Majesty's personal approval that they should not be questioned."

Zhong Yao looked solemn, and the corner of his eye was also on Wang Yun's face.

Wang Yun remained expressionless, and said: "Prime Minister, why are there only these people, and why are the others not here?"

Yang Biao said: "This matter is an important matter for the court, so it should not be too ostentatious. Xun Shangshu is the official Cao Shangshu, and Zhong Tingwei is the court captain. It is most appropriate."

Wang Yun felt that Yang Biao had ghosts in his heart last night, seeing that he had changed from usual today, his eyes were vigilant.

Seeing that Wang Yun was silent, Yang Biao said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao and others' meritorious deeds and rewards for the Battle of Bingzhou that His Majesty personally conquered?"

Wang Yun looked at Yang Biao, then glanced at Xun You and Zhong Yao from the corner of his eye, and said, "Rewards and punishments for merits and demerits should be clearly defined. Please prime minister decide."

Seeing that Wang Yun didn't enter the pit, Yang Biao said, "Then, let's submit it to Your Majesty based on Li Cao's?"

Wang Yun was silent for a while, and said: "I have no objection."

Yang Biao was surprised that Wang Yun was so cautious.

He didn't move his fat face, turned to Zhong Yao, and said, "Ting Wei Mansion, what is the conclusion about the rewards and punishments of Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao?"

Lu Zhi’s charges were mainly for allowing the Huns to besiege Liu Bianyu Shangdang, Dong Zhuo for murdering scholars, and Cao Cao for defeating the army. The crimes of these three people should be investigated seriously. With the atmosphere of the ruling and opposition parties, it is difficult to escape .

Zhong Yao said: "The Tingwei's Mansion believes that this matter must be governed by the Da Sima's Mansion. Under the 'new system', the merits and crimes of soldiers are not within the power and responsibility of the Tingwei."

Yang Biao blinked, Zhong Yao wasn't fooled either?

He sat up straight, glanced at the two memorials in front of him, and said, "Okay. Since you all have no objections, I will submit it to Your Majesty according to what Li Cao wrote."

With that said, Yang Biao picked up the pen, signed it seriously, and handed it to Wang Yun.

Wang Yun looked at the list of rewards for meritorious deeds with an indifferent expression on his face. Just as he took the pen, he suddenly raised his head to Xun You and said, "If Lu Zhi and the others are indeed found guilty after submitting it to His Majesty, can Li Cao be held accountable?"

"Naturally." Xun You said.This was drawn up according to Liu Bian's intention, so what responsibility can he have?
Hearing this, Wang Yun picked up a pen and signed the official document.

Xun You and Zhong Yao couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

After Wang Yun finished writing, he raised his hand and said to Yang Biao: "Prime Minister, regarding the impeachment of Lu Zhi and others by Da Siong Liu Dai, what decision do you have?"

Yang Biao also felt that Wang Yun's reaction today was not right. Seeing that he still raised his hand, he said calmly, "I will personally present to Your Majesty, and please Your Majesty make a judgment."

Wang Yun still raised his hand and said: "Mr. Yang is the prime minister, he should have an attitude, and I ask the prime minister to express it clearly, so as to reassure the whole court."

Yang Biao's heart skipped a beat, what is this Wang Yun going to do?
He dug a hole just now, but Wang Yun didn't jump. Now, is this Wang Yun going to set a trap for him?
Yang Biao looked down at Liu Dai's memorabilia, vaguely feeling something was wrong, pretending to ponder, and looked at Xun You and Zhong Yao.

The two of them didn't make a sound, and they also noticed that Wang Yun was abnormal, and seemed to be more 'confident' than before!
Yang Biao coughed lightly, put on his fat face, and said, "I still need to discuss with Da Sima."

Wang Yun's eyes were slightly cold, and he said: "I want to know, what is the prime minister's opinion?"

"It's not enough to rely on Liu Dai's memorabilia. It needs to be verified according to the facts." Yang Biao said.Knowing that there was a pitfall in Wang Yun's words, Yang Biao decided to make a detour.

Wang Yun put down his hand and said: "The evidence in Da Sinong's memorandum is very clear, there is no need to check it at all. Could it be that the Prime Minister is protecting it?"

Yang Biao frowned, with a dignified expression on his face, he said, "Zuo Servant, be careful with your words."

Seeing Yang Biao putting on airs, Wang Yun turned to Xun You and said, "For the crimes of Lu Zhi, Cao Cao and others, Li Cao and Ting Wei turned a blind eye to the crimes and rewarded them for their merits. Is there any selfishness?"

Seeing Wang Yun's brilliance, Xun You secretly took a breath and said cautiously: "Back to the prince, the officials and Caos are rewarded based on their merits, and it is not the responsibility of the officials and Caos to judge crimes. If there is something wrong, please ask the prime minister and Zuo Pushe to criticize it. Please correct me immediately."

Seeing that Xun You was evasive and irresponsible, Wang Yun was secretly annoyed.

'Stupid officials!Perfunctory!No one is sincere! '

Wang Yun scolded Yang Biao, Xun You, and Zhong Yao in his heart, and said indifferently: "That's it, that's it."

Yang Biao, who originally wanted to fight back against Wang Yun, felt even more uneasy.

Wang Yun's attitude is too abnormal!
Xun You and Zhong Yao were also secretly vigilant, not to mention Lu Zhi and Cao Cao, Wang Yun hated Dong Zhuo the most, how could he agree with Dong Zhuo to lead Yuzhou Shepherd?

Yang Biao twitched his fat face when he saw Wang Yun handing over the playbook, but hesitated instead.

Feeling up and down in his heart, he looked at Xun You and Zhong Yao with a look of inquiry.

Xun You and Zhong Yao didn't know Wang Yun's thoughts and purpose, so they remained silent.

Yang Biao had a headache and missed Wang Lang a little.

At this time, a Zhonghuangmen came in, saluted several people, and then handed a note to Yang Biao.

Yang Biao was puzzled, took it over and looked at it, and suddenly put the signed memorabilia into his arms.

Xun You and Zhong Yao were taken aback, with doubts on their faces.What's the matter?

Wang Yun took some time off and looked as usual.

Yang Biao did not expect that Dong Zhuo would kill a Yanmen prefect without authorization!
His head was dripping with cold sweat, he looked at Wang Yun with a smile, and said: "My lord, let's discuss this list of achievements again, discuss again."

Wang Yun's expression became more and more indifferent, and his voice was a little high, saying: "Prime Minister, this was initiated by the official Cao, and the prime minister and the subordinate officials signed it together. How can we just abolish it as soon as we say it."

Where Yang Biao didn't understand, Wang Nayun knew about it a long time ago and was plotting against him on purpose!
Even though he hated him deeply, he couldn't send this memorandum up, otherwise he would become the target of public criticism!
Seeing that Wang Yun refused to give up, Yang Biao still had a smile on his face, turned to Xun You, and said, "Xun Shangshu, let's discuss this again."

Xun You frowned, looked at Yang Biao, then looked at Wang Yun, feeling weird, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty is about to return to Beijing, and he will reward all the ministers. It's uncertain now, and it may be too late."

Yang Biao naturally knew, wiped the sweat off his brow, and said with a smile: "Then, leave Dong Zhuo out?"

Seeing that Yang Biao already knew, Wang Yun snorted coldly in his heart, raised his hand, and said, "Is it just Dong Zhuo?"

Yang Biao trembled in his heart. Does Wang Yun still have evidence against Lu Zhi and others?
He was a little dry mouthed and kept laughing.

Yang Biao wanted to fight back against Wang Yun, but he didn't expect that Wang Yun dug such a big hole waiting for him!
Zhong Yao noticed it, his expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, Zuo Servant, Your Majesty personally drove the conquest, and won a great victory. It should be the joy of all people, and the fortune of the world. Don't add dirt and shame to this grand event!"

What Zhong Yao said was already quite tactful and polite. At this juncture, no one will get good results if they add obstacles!
Wang Yun immediately frowned, turned to him, and said: "If you are exposed as a traitor after the big reward, what is the majesty of your majesty? How can I save my face?"

Yang Biao said, "What Zhong Tingwei said is true. Then, what should we do?"

Zhong Yao ignored Wang Yun, and said more seriously: "Everything will go on as usual, and if something goes wrong afterwards, make up for it afterwards. At this time, don't cause chaos!"

Wang Yun snorted coldly and said, "That's all I've said, you can just figure it out."

Yang Biao is very tired of Wang Yun now. This person has no idea of ​​the overall situation, is headstrong, self-righteous, and will not listen to any persuasion!

With the official document just now in his arms, his intuition was like a hot potato, which made him restless.

To send or not to send?

Send it out, and Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others will be blamed after the incident.

If he didn't post it, he disrupted Liu Bian's grand occasion of returning to Beijing, and he might have to take the blame for it!
At this time, a person appeared at the door of the Yushitai Conference Hall.

When the four of them heard footsteps, they turned their heads to look, and were startled for a moment.

Both Wang Yun and Xun You were guests at the General's Mansion, so they knew Liu Biao.

Although Yang Biao and Zhong Yao rarely went there, Liu Biao was also a well-known celebrity, so he had seen him.

They were all puzzled, why did Liu Biao suddenly appear here?
Liu Biao came alone, he was very worried, his face remained motionless, he raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty has met the Prime Minister, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's decree says that your Majesty is Yushi Zhongcheng."

Yang Biao and Wang Yun immediately looked at each other, Liu Biao?Censor Zhongcheng?
Two months ago, Liu Bian had transferred Liang Hu, the governor of Youzhou, as Yushi Zhongcheng, but Liang Hu refused to take up the post, and was directly dismissed from office and sent back to his hometown. Yushi Zhongcheng has been vacant.

Liu Biao was more confused than the four of them. He originally thought that he would go to Bingzhou or Jizhou, but he didn't expect that it would be Yushi Zhongcheng!

In the past, Yushitai, Shangshutai and "Waitai" were known as the "Three Taiwans", and they were the three most powerful institutions in the Han Dynasty.

But after the restructuring, Shangshutai became dominant, "Waitai" was abolished, and Yushitai was marginalized, losing the power it had in the past.

In fact, Wang Yun had a candidate for Yushi Zhongcheng in his heart. Seeing Liu Biao intervene, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "Yushi Zhongcheng? What are you doing here?"

Liu Biao raised his hand, came in and sat down, and said: "I heard that Shang Shutai is discussing the meritorious deeds and rewards for the first battle in Bingzhou. As the censor Zhongcheng, I came here to testify."

Xun You and Zhong Yao looked at each other, both of them were stunned.

This decree has not been made, and Liu Biao has not reported his duties, so why did he go to the Shangshutai to provide circumstantial evidence.

'It must be His Majesty's meaning! 'The two spoke in unison.

Yang Biao was vigilant in his heart, glanced at Wang Yun, sat upright, dignified himself, and said: "Then, what does Liu Zhongcheng think?"

Liu Biao looked calm, and said: "Your Majesty believes that the duty of a minister is to share worries for the king and solve difficulties for the country, instead of targeting him everywhere and talking about him from left to right. A minister must share worries for your majesty, and do what you worry about. You can’t do it. As a minister, you must be upright and dignified, uphold integrity and uphold integrity, understand the heart and feel the people..."

The four people in the conference room were all speechless looking at Liu Biao, who was eloquent and eloquent.

This Liu Biao, is he here to talk about scriptures?
Everyone still couldn't figure out Liu Biao's purpose, so they waited patiently for half a stick of incense before Liu Biao stopped.

Yang Biao sullenly said, "What do Liu Zhongcheng think about Bingzhou's award for meritorious deeds?"

Without hesitation, Liu Biao said, "We should reward you generously to show your Majesty's martial arts, the bravery of the soldiers, and the boldness of my man!"

Yang Biao's small eyes flashed brightly, and said: "Since Liu Zhongcheng said so, then this matter is settled like this. Zuo Pushe?"

Wang Yun was secretly angry, this Liu Biao was talking nonsense, Yang Biao didn't know right from wrong, and deliberately succumbed!
Shouldn't a minister be solving problems for the emperor, picking up what's left and making up for the vacancies?
But Wang Yun also knew that this was what Liu Bian meant. He hated Yang Biao's incompetence and kept silent.

He was thinking that after Liu Bian returned to Beijing, he would remonstrate face to face, so as not to put the king in an embarrassing situation!

Seeing that Wang Yun stopped talking, Yang Biao showed a slight smile, took out the notebook in his arms, and said, "Then it is settled like this. Regarding the filling of vacancies in Bingzhou, Shangshu Xun will add another Yanmen prefect."

Xun You was taken aback, what happened to the prefect of Yanmen?

Liu Biao sat watching these big men, secretly observed, and speculated about his future in the court.

……

When the battle at Shangshutai subsided a little, Liu Bian was leaving Luoyang in a carriage, heading for the Forbidden Army camp.

"Your Majesty, there is someone behind you." Pan Yin, who was riding a horse beside Liu Bian's carriage, suddenly said in a low voice.

Liu Bian, who was feigning sleep, opened his eyes, turned around and saw two people in the distance, and said casually, "Go and ask."

Then, he put his arms around Tang Ji and continued to doze off.

Not long after, Pan Yin came back again, and said in a anxious tone, "Your Majesty, it's Huangfu Jianchang and Shi A."

Liu Bian didn't move, swaying in the carriage.

After a while, Huangfu Jianchang and Shi A came to the side of the carriage.

Huangfu Jian's face was as hard as iron, and he raised his hands and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, there are people gathered in Yuzhou, and someone is preparing to launch a rebellion in the name of 'Qingjun side'!"

Liu Bian opened his eyes violently, turned his head to look at him, and said, "Where did the news come from? Is it accurate? Who is the leader?"

Seeing that the carriage stopped, Huangfu Jian jumped off his horse and said: "The rangers everywhere have got the book posts, word of mouth, and they are constantly linked up. I don't know who is the leader for the time being, but the rangers and celebrities everywhere are gathering towards Yuzhou. There are tens of thousands of people!"

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to himself, "Mr. Qing..."

I have always been rebellious, and I can't just say that I am rebellious. They often use the name of "Qing Jun's side".

Although Liu Bian tried his best to minimize the impact of the eunuchs, relatives, Yuan family and other cases, but now people have a big temper and are easy to be agitated. It is not surprising if they conspire together and gather tens of thousands of people !
"Yuzhou?"

Liu Bian was a little surprised. He thought it would be Jizhou, or Yanzhou, even Qingzhou, but he didn't expect it to be Yuzhou.

However, the former Yuzhou shepherd was Huang Wan.

'Who is playing tricks again? '

Liu Bian's eyes throbbed sharply, and he said in a deep voice: "Order Cao Cao, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others to lead their troops back to Beijing as soon as possible. Dong Zhuo and Zuo Li, arrange the following matters and return to Beijing immediately. To Tao Qian of Xuzhou and Wang Rui of Jingzhou Believe me, order them to mobilize troops, purge the territory, and order at any time."
