Han family achievements

Chapter 115 Every Major Event

Surrounded by his ministers, Liu Bian began to offer sacrifices to the Lingdi Temple.

Basically, Liu Bian didn't need to do anything, even the sacrificial oration was drawn up in advance, and he didn't need to read it out, just follow the tedious rituals.

After this set, it took a full hour.

Then the emperors of the Han Dynasty began to worship one by one.

Then, if there is a sacrifice to heaven and earth, it is divided into five links, offering silk, offering wine, liberating animals, having fun, and wishing, and going out of the palace to the southern and northern suburbs.

Liu Bian dressed neatly, sat on the imperial chariot, and led all the civil and military officials out of the palace.

The sacrificial ceremony was presided over by Taichang Cai Yong, who had been waiting for it early.

The people outside the palace have not yet dispersed, shouting and following.

The process of offering sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven in the northern suburbs was very cumbersome. Liu Bian was manipulated like a mechanical puppet. He couldn't understand or understand those strange rituals.

After another hour or so, a group of people returned to the palace, and after another ceremonial process, they left the palace and turned to the southern suburbs.

This time, it is a sacrifice to heaven and earth, which is the highlight of this sacrifice.

Almost all the big and small officials in Luoyang City arrived, and there were countless people on the periphery watching.

After nearly half an hour of Cai Yong's complicated movements, Wang Yun stepped forward and handed a piece of silk to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong's face was solemn, and after another ceremonial process, he began to read the imperial decree aloud: "Only Bingwu in October of the sixth year of Zhongping, the emperor dared to use Xuan Mu to tell the God of Heaven and the God of Earth: the Han Dynasty has the world, and the history Boundless. Those who have passed away..."

Liu Bian stood beside the high platform, listening silently.

In the middle of the Zhu Wen, Cai Yong began to report Liu Bian's achievements in detail, especially the victory over the Xiongnu and the beheading of the Xiongnu Shanyu. He bluntly said that he was far better than Emperor Sejongwu.

Liu Bian listened to it, and the corners of his face became hot unconsciously.

But the people around didn't care, and they knelt down one after another, shouting long live.

"Long live Your Majesty!" The voice was thunderous and billowing like a tide.

When the sacrificial rites were over and the officials worshiped again, the people became even more violent, and their shouts shook Yuan Ye, as if the sky was trembling.

Liu Bian remained motionless, looking around at the courtiers and common people kneeling in front of him, his eyes were burning, as if they were burning, his heart was full of pride and ambition.

Among the officials, there are too many people who are excited and looking forward to it.

The decadence of the Han Dynasty is the consensus of all people in the past ten years. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, when it was beaten to the edge of Luoyang, and the Qiang people were in crisis, many people were lamenting that the Han Dynasty was about to end.

Now, countless people's eyes are on Liu Bian, accumulating their hopes for the Han Dynasty, and their enthusiasm for the great Han Zhongxing!
"Libi!"

With a long cry, the officials stood up.

This also means that today's sacrifice is over.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

The people still refused to disperse, shouting.

Liu Bian didn't wave his hand this time, got on the imperial carriage and started to return to the palace.

Along the way, the courtiers were in groups of three or four, discussing constantly, and their tone was uplifting.

The people were still following, looking forward to Liu Bian's royal driver.

When he arrived at the palace, Liu Bian wanted to fall down and sleep for a day and a night, but there were still things to do.

First he had a brief talk with Yang Biao, Huangfusong, Wang Yun and others, then went to Yongle Palace, had dinner with Empress Dowager He, and did not fall into a deep sleep with Tang Ji in his arms until dawn.

Liu Bian could sleep well, but few of the courtiers could.

The entire Luoyang City seemed to be brightly lit, and everyone was discussing Liu Bian's imperial conquest. Complimentary words filled the sky above Luoyang City, and there seemed to be a glow in the darkness.

Naturally, secretly, there are also some ghosts and monsters whispering.

Early the next morning, Shangshutai gathered people.

Yang Biao, Wang Yun, four ministers and Ting Wei are all there.

Li Ru had an elegant temperament, sat down and bowed and said: "The lower officials think that we should change the Yuan."

He Yong said: "Well, it's not appropriate to change the yuan next year?"

According to the tradition of the Han Dynasty, every major event must be changed.

The problem is that when Liu Bian succeeds to the throne, the yuan will be changed next year, which is not yet the time.

Zhong Yao looked solemn and said, "Would you like to pardon the world again?"

It is also a common practice to amnesty the world.

Yang Biao sat on the main seat with a majestic expression and did not speak.

Wang Yun remained indifferent, still thinking about meritorious deeds and rewards, which will be announced after noon.

He wants to see Liu Bian before then, and persuade Liu Bian to change his mind.

Seeing that Wang Yun didn't say anything, Li Ru moved his eyes and said, "Would you please discuss it with King Bohai?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone looked at Li Ru with different expressions.

The small conference hall was quiet.

When Li Ru saw it, his expression was as usual, and he said, "It is His Majesty's will that the King of Bohai should listen to the Minister of Political Affairs."

Everyone looked suspicious, and looked at Wang Yun again.

Wang Yun's heart moved slightly, and he said immediately: "This matter should be decided by Shang Shutai, and the King of Bohai will report it to His Majesty."

Xun You looked at Wang Yun, suddenly understood, and said: "The lower officials agree with the prince's words."

Zhong Yao, He Yong and others also understood, and said: "The lower officials seconded the proposal."

Yang Biao was stunned for a moment. In the blink of an eye, did they all support Wang Yun?
He blinked his small eyes, glanced at Li Ru, and said with a smile: "This time I congratulate Your Majesty on the victory over the Xiongnu. It is true that the King of Bohai's memorial is missing. I will go and remind you."

With that said, Yang Biao got up straight, ready to go to Liu Xie.

"Accompanied by the next official." Wang Yun would not let go of such an opportunity, and got up.

To be praised by Liu Xie in a letter means that Liu Xie does not have that kind of thought, let the government and the public see the unity of the royal family, and eliminate a heart problem between the government and the public.

Most importantly, this is a good way to please His Majesty in the palace!

Xun You and the others watched the two big shots leave before turning their heads to continue the discussion.

Xun You pondered, and said: "If we want to change the yuan, let's draw up a few first, and His Majesty will decide whether to change or not."

Everyone nodded, and He Yong said: "Amnesty, I don't think it's necessary. I've already been pardoned three times, and it's meaningless to pardon again."

Li Ru saw a few people huddled together, smiled and said nothing.

At this time, a Zhonghuangmen came in, holding a pile of playbooks, and said: "Masters, this is today's playbook."

Xun You reached out to take it, distributed it to others, and opened a copy at random.

After reading a few books, he couldn't help but raise his head, and almost everyone else did the same. They looked at each other, looked at each other, and then frowned.

These memorials come from all over the country, all of which are about the impeachment of Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others. There are more than ten copies in total.

Li Ru glanced at a few people, held a few memorials, and pretended to be thinking.

Xun You glanced at him calmly, and said to everyone, "Sent to Jingfu Hall?"

The others also nodded. They can't decide this matter.

If it was in the past, there would definitely be an uproar, Lu Zhi would be dismissed at the very least, and Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao would be imprisoned.

But now, it depends on what the palace wants.

He Yong looked at Xun You at this moment and said, "Have you heard about the Yuzhou incident?"

Xun You gave him a look and said, "I heard."

When He Yong received it, he immediately changed the subject and said, "I plan to meet Tang Gong later, and go together?"

"Tang Gong" is a kind of respectful title for Tang Mao by the courtiers. After all, this is Liu Bian's father-in-law, and he is a captain of Sili, and he is about to step into the Shangshutai.

Thinking of Sili's reforms coming to a standstill, Xun You said, "Okay, wait for the palace's order."

They still need to wait for the reward edict from the palace, and then there will be a feast for the officials in the evening.

Li Ru saw that the 'Yingchuan Party' was already colluding, with a calm smile on his face, he thought to himself: No wonder the prince is deeply wary of these people, who can rest assured that he embraces the United Party and blocks political communication like this?
Palace.

After Yang Biao and Wang Yun's persuasion, Liu Xie wrote a congratulatory memorial, and then went to Jingfu Hall with the two.

Liu Bian was very tired yesterday, but he woke up very early, but he didn't want to get up, so he half-lyed on the bed, fanned himself while looking at Cao Cao's memorabilia.

Tang Ji was wearing single clothes, kneeling beside Liu Bian, holding a bowl of soup in her hand, stirring it gently with a spoon.

"Is this making up for one's mistakes?"

Liu Bian muttered to himself, then tilted his head and bit the spoon that Tang Ji handed over.

It took Cao Cao less than half a month to wipe out more than 30 large and small bandit dens, gathered more than 3000 young and strong, and raised nearly [-] shi of grain.

There are now more than 1 people in the Forbidden Army camp. From Yanzhou, the recruitment of young and strong people is underway. Lu Zhi will also mobilize some people to come over. In addition to Cao Cao's more than 2 people, the number soared to [-] to [-] in an instant!
Thinking about it, Liu Bian couldn't help frowning.

It is a good thing to have soldiers in hand, but he has to afford it!

"Salt administration, it is imperative..."

Liu Bian looked out the door with a gloomy gaze.Compared with other taxes, salt administration is the easiest way to get a lot of money in a short time.

Pan Yin stepped in quietly, glanced at her, lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, King Bohai, Prime Minister, Zuo servant shoots to see you."

Liu Bian withdrew his thoughts, got up from the bed, and said, "Go to the study."

Tang Ji hurried over to dress Liu Bian.

Inside the study.

With a calm face, Liu Xie knelt and sat opposite Liu Bian.

Yang Biao behind him was serious, his round fat face respectful and serious.

Wang Yun's expression was indifferent, and he seemed to be preoccupied.

Liu Xie held up the memorial and said: "My brother congratulates Your Majesty on his victory over the Huns and his triumphant return!"

Liu Bian looked at him, took it with a smile, and said, "You have a heart. By the way, grandma will arrive in Beijing in about two hours. You can go and meet her on my behalf."

Liu Xie was startled, and said, "Should I pick you up?"

Liu Bian glanced at his memorabilia, put it aside, and said, "Well, you will still listen to the Zhengshangshutai from now on."

Liu Xie straightened his back and looked directly at Liu Bian, feeling uneasy and full of thoughts.

He couldn't figure it out at all, what was this emperor brother going to do?
Liu Xie suppressed his uneasiness, stood up and said, "Your brother will leave."

Yang Biao and Wang Yun didn't speak, and they didn't understand either.

When Liu Xie left, Yang Biao said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Shangshutai is discussing the matter of changing the yuan, please show your Majesty."

Liu Bian paused for a moment, remembering the year name that he didn't like before, nodded and said, "I will decide how many submissions you will make."

"The minister leads the decree!" Yang Biao said, blinking, feeling an inexplicable sense of comfort in his heart.

Seeing this, Wang Yun raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have different opinions about the rewards for Cao Cao and others."

He was throwing stones to ask for directions, and he didn't pour out Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo all at once.

Liu Bian showed curiosity, and said, "The Qing family understands military affairs?"

Wang Yun remained motionless, and said, "I know a thing or two."

Liu Bian pondered for a moment, and said: "I am in Shangdang, and I have already pardoned Cao Cao."

"Then Cao Cao should also be removed from the reward list." Wang Yun said.

Yang Biao glanced at Wang Yun, this man is really stubborn, if he insists on making things difficult for His Majesty, is it so difficult to answer smoothly?
Liu Bian also felt that Wang Yun was a little ignorant, so he was quiet for a while, and said calmly: "Qing family, this time I personally conquered the royal family, it is a complete victory."

Wang Yun raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, that can't be tolerated..."

Before he finished speaking, he met Liu Bian's indifferent gaze.

The corners of Wang Yun's face twitched, feeling unwilling, he put down his hands and said, "I understand."

Seeing his gloomy expression, Liu Bian changed his expression and said with a smile: "I have read the joint memorial of the Qing family and the prime minister. It is really necessary to cut down the officials. I will leave this matter to the Qing family to come to the prime minister. "

Wang Yun's eyes brightened, and he quickly raised his hand and said, "The minister leads the decree!"

Liu Bian stared at him and said, "Qing family, what I'm talking about is reducing redundant officials and officials, and the necessary officials and establishments of all official temples must not be moved."

Naturally, Wang Yun understood the potential warning in Liu Bian's words, raised his hand and said, "I'm taking orders."

After he finished this sentence, he said again: "Your Majesty, I believe that there are many official temples in the imperial court with overlapping powers and responsibilities, please merge them."

Liu Bian promoted Shangshutai and weakened Jiuqing, resulting in many overlapping powers and responsibilities.What's more, in the past, the Sangong Mansion gradually lost power, and many powers and responsibilities themselves had overlapped. The overlapping of powers and responsibilities meant that the number of officials doing the same thing had doubled.

Liu Bian agreed with Wang Yun's words, and said with a smile, "Okay, this matter will also be handed over to the Qing family."

Wang Yun saw that Liu Bian had entrusted him with so many things, the loneliness just now was swept away, and he raised his hand again and said: "Your Majesty, regarding Yuzhou Mu..."

"Beyond next year,"

Liu Bian interrupted him, and said: "I will send Prime Minister Taiwei Yuzhou soldiers and civilians to quell the chaos. However, these are the words of our monarchs and ministers, so we can't pass them on for the time being."

Wang Yun's expression was serious, he thought deeply, and then said: "I understand. Your Majesty, the Taiwei is alone, and there may be something wrong."

Liu Bian hummed, and said: "When the time comes, how to configure it will be discussed by the Shangshutai."

Wang Yun was silent for a while, put down his hands, and said no more.

He had a hundred worries about Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo had lost his military power and foundation, and was sent to Yuzhou. Anyone who made a mistake would be punished with death!
Seeing that Wang Yun was blocked, Liu Bian took a sip of tea from his teacup and said, "What do you two think about the withdrawal of the salt administration and the imperial court's monopoly?"

Without hesitation, Yang Biao opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I agree. The key to the salt administration lies in Jizhou and Yizhou, and the cooperation of Jizhou Mu and Yizhou Mu is necessary."

The most important salt-producing areas of the Han Dynasty were in Jizhou and Yizhou, and Zhu Jun was also in charge of Jizhou animal husbandry. However, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou was flourishing, and Zhu Jun was short of soldiers and food.

Yizhou animal husbandry is Liu Yan, the initiator of the state animal husbandry system.

"It's fine for the two Qings to agree. Specifically, I will let Min Cao handle it."

Liu Bian looked at the two of them and said, "I intend to transfer Liu Qing's family from Yizhou to Beijing, what do you two think?"

Yang Biao and Wang Yun both knew Liu Yan, but they subconsciously looked at each other, and then separated in an instant.

Wang Yun raised his hand first, and said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you can send a private message."

Liu Bian's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "What does the Qing family mean?"

Wang Yun bowed, his face unchanged, and said: "I am worried that Liu Shijun is too busy."

Liu Bian frowned, and looked at Yang Biao if he understood.

Yang Biao bowed and said concisely: "I also have this concern."

Liu Bian examined the expressions of the two and nodded slightly.

It seems that they all know that Liu Yan has the heart of disobedience. '

Liu Bian was expressionless, this Yizhou is in the northwest, there are dangers and obstacles, the local people are outstanding, the land is fertile, it is a good place to settle down.

Liu Yan chose to go to Yizhou, and he had some kind of thoughts in himself.

Regarding Liu Yan, Liu Bian had other thoughts in his mind, and said, "Who do you two Qings think is the shepherd of Jizhou?"

The Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou was too powerful, and the military situation was like a fire. Zhu Jun was overwhelmed. He wrote several times to resign from Jizhou Mu, who was also the leader.

Wang Yun immediately said: "I recommend Ying Shao, the prefect of Mount Tai."

Liu Bian's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Wang Yun with a strange look in his eyes. Did this person sneak into his study?
Immediately, he glanced at Yang Biao, smiled and said, "What does the Prime Minister mean?"

Yang Biao didn't want to get involved in political affairs at all, and without knowing what Liu Bian was thinking, he said, "I listen to the hadith."

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Okay. Then we will appoint Ying Shao, and an order will be issued tomorrow, ordering him to leave for Jizhou immediately to take up his post. I will send Cao Shangshu to announce the order."

Wang Yun didn't expect Liu Bian to agree like this, he was surprised and happy in his heart, and quickly said: "The minister accepts the decree."

Liu Bian stood up against the table, and said with a smile: "That's it, gentlemen, go get busy."

The two were about to raise their hands in response, Liu Bian said again: "I have also approved the expansion of the Imperial Army and the Habayashi Army. This matter will be handled by the Da Sima Mansion."

Yang Biao, Wang Yun would never have thought that Liu Bian would actually plan to expand the forbidden army to 10 people. He raised his hand without any objection and said, "The minister waits for the order."

As soon as they left, Liu Bian took Xun You's memorabilia, looked at it, and smiled unconsciously on his face.

This memorial made him very pleased, because the list of filled vacancies was very long, not only the vacancies in the imperial court were basically filled, but also the states and counties had a lot of talents, which was not as stretched as in the previous two months.

"It's getting better!"

Liu Bian slammed the table fiercely and laughed.

Ever since the news of his victory over the Xiongnu and the beheading of the Xiongnu Shanyu came back, the city of Luoyang has been boiling, and many fearful people have started to serve.

Liu Bian was smug for a while, and then said to himself: "If you have people, you only need money."

The most important thing for him now is two words: make money.

The reduction of redundant officials is to save money, and the salt government is to increase revenue!
On the other side, Yang Biao and Wang Yun conveyed Liu Bian's will at Shangshutai.

Li Ru and the others were taken aback, Wang Yun changed his mind so easily?

But Xun You understands very well that only His Majesty in the palace can restrain the stubborn Wang Yun.

After sweeping away Wang Yun, the opponent, Shangshutai suddenly became unobstructed.

All kinds of edicts and official documents for rewards were shuttled back and forth between Shangshutai and Jingfu Hall by Huangmen.

After noon, they were announced one after another.

The biggest beneficiary of this award was Lu Zhi, who was granted the title of Marquis of Yixiang, followed by Gongsun Zan, who was named General Fenwu.Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others did not change their official positions, but only received some awards.

But this time the award is very different, because the protagonist is Liu Bian, and by the way, it will be spread throughout the country, and its reputation will be far greater than before!

The court's public opinion machine is fully activated, trying to restore the prestige of the court, sweep away the haze over Luoyang City, and revive the morale of the Han people.

Not only the discussion of Liu Bian's personal conquest was not only discussed after dinner in Luoyang City, but it was bound to spread to every corner of the Han states and counties.

It can be clearly foreseen that the views of scholars all over the world on the Eastern Capital will change, and more talents will come to Luoyang City.

Naturally, those ambitious people will also feel awe and restrain themselves.

In Yangcheng and the whole Han Dynasty, all kinds of chaos and rebellion will be much less than before.

……

In the sixth year of Zhongping, at the end of November.

The imperial court was busy with a lot of things, but it was robbed of the limelight by the "reduction of redundant officials".

As the draft drafted by Wang Yun was spread, the entire Luoyang City seemed to be shaken three times.

Da Si Nong, Liu Dai's mansion.

Liu Dai is 46 this year. His round face is full of wrinkles, and he has an octagonal goatee, which makes him very angry.

He sat in the living room, lowered his eyes, silently looking at the crowd in front of him.

"Da Sinong,"

An official said with a disturbed expression: "I have been in the Dasinong Mansion for more than 20 years, and I have worked hard without credit. Does this mean that I am dismissed?"

"That's right. I don't want to be greedy or take possession. I work hard. Why do I have to be dismissed? There is no such precedent in the imperial court..."

"Da Si Nong, you promised to transfer us to Liucao, but now you are dismissed from office, the court is too dishonest!"

Liu Dai's face was dull, but his eyes were sharp, and his tone was cold, he said, "What do you think of me?"

He came to Luoyang from Yanzhou because there were too many vacancies in the imperial court. He thought that with his status and more contacts, he would definitely be able to get a satisfactory official position.

After painstaking efforts, he obtained the formerly famous Da Sinong. After entering, he realized that he had almost no real power, and the real power was all in the Shangshutai!

Moreover, people in the court have their own cronies, and he insists on his own identity, unwilling to bow his head and be a petty person. He has been marginalized and can't speak in the court at all.

All the subordinates in front of Liu Dai looked at each other, and one of them said: "If the senior officials are dismissed, there will be no one working for the senior secretary in this senior secretary's residence."

Liu Dai was shocked in his heart, and his expression changed immediately.

Only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem!
Allowing these people to be dismissed, it is not that there are few people missing, but that he has lost his prestige and become even more empty!

'Something has to be done! 'Liu Dai's eyes became sharp.
