Chapter 118 Reversal
noon.

Sili Xiaowei's Mansion.

"After being busy for a long time, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Tang Mao came out of the guard room and came to Pianhou.

A working history followed and said: "Mr. Tang, the tea is ready, and now is the time for the best taste."

Tang Mao looked satisfied, and suddenly said: "That's all I like, isn't it wasteful?"

Engaged in history immediately said: "There is not much money in total. If Mr. Tang said so, the villain would not dare to eat."

Tang Mao nodded with a smile, and smelled a light tea fragrance when he entered the Pianmen, he immediately shook his head and said, "Good tea!"

Stepping in quickly, he cooked tea with ease, poured it, and gently fanned the aroma of the tea into his nostrils, Tang Mao immediately showed an intoxicated expression.

Engaged in history watching from the side, flattering and laughing, not daring to disturb.

After a while, Tang Mao came back to his senses, took a sip, and immediately relaxed his brows and eyes, feeling happy physically and mentally, and said: "As expected, it is from the palace, it is really good tea!"

"It's still Miss Tang who misses Duke Tang." Engagement Shi hurriedly said.

Tang Ji's title is 'Beauty'.

Tang Mao smiled even more. It was all due to his daughter that he could become Captain Sili. At the same time, he was still thinking in his heart that he hoped that his daughter could make further progress, and then he would be the next great general.

Seeing that Tang Mao was happy, he turned his eyes and said, "Mr. Tang, all my colleagues have settled down recently. I am grateful for Mr. Tang's kindness. I want to host a banquet to thank you. I wonder if Mr. Tang is free?"

Tang Mao tasted the tea, feeling complacent and even more proud.

That day, they broke up with Wang Yun, but Yang Biao was easy to talk to, so he gave Wang Yun a blow on the spot.

'Yang Biao is still good. ' Tang Mao narrowed his eyes and said inwardly.

"Duke Tang, Duke Tang..."

Suddenly, a small official outside the door rushed in recklessly.

Tang Mao's cheerful expression turned into indifference, and he looked forward coldly, as if he was looking at the little official, but also seemed to look past him, looking outside the door.

The little official looked back and said anxiously: "Mr. Tang, there is a nobleman from the palace."

Tang Mao scolded: "My daughter is the only beauty in the palace, where can there be such a noble person?"

The nobleman is below the queen and above the beauties.

Just as the clerk was about to speak, Zuo Li walked in with a smile.

Tang Mao knew Zuo Li, but he didn't like this little Huangmen who had a white face, always squinting and staring at people, giving people a sense of sinister calculation.

Tang Mao sat with a blank expression on his face, without making any movements, speculating in his heart the purpose of this little yellow door.

Zuo Li saw that he was so condescending, his eyes narrowed even more, a trace of coldness flashed across him, and his smile increased. He took out a playbook from his bosom, and said, "Your Majesty asked the villain to send a playbook to Duke Tang."

Tang Hao was suspicious, took it and opened it to look, his hands trembled immediately, he raised his head to look at Zuo Li, and said in a trembling voice: "This is... no, no, His Majesty's meaning, no, no, fake, framed, framed... ..."

Seeing that Tang Mao was incoherent, Zuo Li stared at him like a poisonous snake, and said, "Fake? How did I hear that those people were all protected by Duke Tang? For them, they even had a dispute with the prince. "

Tang Mao stood up abruptly, and said anxiously: "No, no, that was a misunderstanding, those people and those people were all eliminated, and none of them were left..."

Zuo Li stared at him for a while, and when Tang Mao couldn't hold on any longer, he said calmly, "Then ask Duke Tang to find the prince to explain."

Tang Mao nodded again and again, holding the memoir in his hand, his face full of fear, he said: "What does your majesty mean?"

Zuo Li lost his smile, just glanced at him, then turned and left.

Tang Mao's heart was cold, he chased a few steps subconsciously, and when he reached the door, he saw seven or eight imperial guards behind Zuo Li, opened his mouth and closed it again.

When Zuo Li's back disappeared, Shi Shi just stepped over, looked at Tang Mao with a frightened expression, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Tang?"

Tang Hao shuddered, suddenly sobered up, immediately gave him a vicious look, and strode away.

'Go to see Wang Yun, and then go to see my daughter! '

Tang Mao was uneasy, his left and right legs were in disarray.

The memorial in his hand is to impeach him for accepting money and valuables from the dismissed officials. The time, place, and who are all listed clearly, and he is not allowed to argue!
If this gets out, he will have to peel off his skin even if he doesn't die!
Tang Mao entered the palace, passed by the Dasinong Mansion, glanced at it, and kept urging the carriage to go faster.

Inside Dasinong Mansion.

With a vicissitudes on his face and sharp eyes, Liu Dai was dealing with the few remaining affairs of the Dasinong Mansion.

At this time, a farm inspector came in with a happy face and said loudly, "Congratulations to Da Si Nong! Congratulations to Da Si Nong!"

Liu Dai didn't respond, and after a while, he said, "Let's talk about something."

The Agricultural Superintendent's smile remained undiminished, and he said, "Don't Da Si Nong know yet? There is news from the Shangshutai that Da Sinong is going to be transferred to the Shangshutai to be Liucao Shangshu!"

Liu Dai sat up straight and said, "Where is the news?"

The Nongjian said: "The villain has a fellow villager who is an official in Cao. He said that Shangshutai has discussed for a long time. He was originally appointed as Da Si Nong. Because why should Da Si Nong's mansion be incorporated into Cao, so Da Si Nong will take over on his behalf first. .”

Confusion appeared on Liu Dai's vicissitudes of life, and there was something unreasonable in it.

But he still longed to enter Liucao, and said, "Is it true?"

The Farm Supervisor was even happier than Liu Dai, and said, "I assure you, it's absolutely true!"

Liu Dai couldn't help being excited, his eyes flashed sharply, and he hesitated.

Seeing this, the Agricultural Superintendent was stunned for a moment, and said, "Da Si Nong, don't you want to enter the Shangshutai?"

This person was brought over from Yanzhou, he was considered a half-confidant, Liu Dai didn't hide anything, and said, "I'm worried that Wang Yun will stop me."

Regarding the reduction of officials, he adopted a cold confrontation, and did not report the reduction situation as Wang Yun asked, but, like the vast majority of people, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not agree or refuse.

Wang Yun, as the left servant, if it was different from Liu Dai's transfer, then Liu Dai probably wouldn't be able to transfer!
The Agricultural Supervisory Committee agreed, looked back at the door, stepped forward and said: "It's easy to handle. Da Sinong may as well go to see Wang Yun and tell him to cut it. As for whether to cut it or not, Da Sinong can sit and see the wind. , follow the trend."

The meaning is to make a statement first, and wait for the matter to drag on. Let's see the direction of the wind. What is important now is not to let Wang Yun prevent Liu Dai from transferring Liu Cao Shangshu!

Liu Dai thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he got up and said, "I'm going to the Palace to Shangshutai."

The Agricultural Supervisor reminded: "Da Si Nong, it is best to write a statement."

Liu Dai understood, sat down and picked up a pen, and wrote more than 300 characters at his fingertips.

When Liu Dai left Da Si Nong's mansion with a note, Tang Mao had already entered the palace.

He was apprehensive and restless, his mouth was dry, his body was cold, and he was full of thoughts, so he actually went the wrong way.

"Lantai Temple?"

Liu Dai was startled and turned around quickly.

The so-called 'Lantai Temple' is the Yushitai.

During the time of Emperor Guangwu, Yushitai moved into Lantai, so it got another name of "Lantai Temple".

The original status of Yushitai was very low. Like Shangshutai, it was an institution within the palace and belonged to the Shaofu.In the later development process, like Shangshutai, its power has grown day by day, and it is known as "Xiantai".

After Shaofu was dismissed, Shangshutai's status rose rapidly, but Yushitai did not move at all.

Liu Biao has a good skin, handsome and unrestrained, with a refined and dusty temperament, put it elsewhere, he looks like a hermit.

He was sitting in the duty room with a sullen face, breathing extremely slowly, and staring at an official document on the table in front of him with wide eyes.

"Censor Zhongcheng Lie Shangshutai discusses affairs, above Liucao Shangshu..."

"Set up thirteen prefectures to supervise the censors, make decisions on small matters, and make decisions on major matters..."

"Evaluate the officials of the world with Li Cao every three years, the mediocre ones, the capable ones..."

Liu Biao's heart was shaking very much, and his eyes seemed to be burning.

With such a restructuring, his status will be elevated to several levels, especially the power in his hands will be unimaginable!
In an instant, he was excited, his face straightened, and his eyes were all on the official document.

This kind of restructuring is considered a big move, and the adjustment of Yushitai is particularly complicated, requiring the establishment and merger of many institutions.

In this regard, Shangshutai cannot be avoided.

In other words, Wang Yun couldn't get around!

Thinking of this, Liu Biao was stunned and his brain froze.

Not long ago, Wang Yun was impeached by the government and the opposition, and Yu Shitai couldn't just sit idly by. He went to find Yang Biao and said a few words in a neutral manner.

"Could you have offended him?"

Liu Biao said to himself, and immediately closed the official document, carefully locked the drawer, got up and went straight to the Shangshutai.

He needs to find a relationship with Wang Yun, otherwise, if Wang Yun wants to block the reform of Yushitai and prevent him from 'promoting', it will be a breeze!
As Tang Mao entered Wang Yun's study, countless pairs of eyes were staring at him in the Shangshutai.

When Wang Yun sent Tang Mao out with a smile, many people were surprised.

You know, yesterday Tang Mao quarreled with Wang Yun and walked out.

Without waiting for the officials at the Shangshutai to pass on the news, the chief minister, Liu Dai, came quickly, and then entered Wang Yun's valet room.

Not long after, Wang Yun sent Liu Dai out, very politely; while Liu Dai raised his hand with a smile, with a respectful expression on his face.

All the eyes were still puzzled, and they saw Yushi Zhongcheng Liu Biao approaching with a smile, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, I visited the prime minister yesterday, and today I came here to ask my lord for advice."

Wang Yun's attitude towards Tang Mao and Liu Dai suddenly changed, and he was full of doubts. Seeing Liu Biao coming again, he smiled calmly and said, "Liu Zhongcheng is polite, please."

"Please." Liu Biao smiled and entered Wang Yun's room.

All of a sudden, the entire Shangshutai was alarmed.

From Yang Biao, to Xun You, He Yong, Li Ru and others all became nervous unconsciously, and some even stood at the door, watching Wang Yun's valet quietly.

Tang Mao alone can find a reason; Liu Dai can barely say that it is for business; if Liu Biao comes again, it cannot be explained by coincidence!
Wang Yun is in the room.

Liu Biao talked about the present and the past, eloquently, citing the classics, both classical and current affairs, and expressed his support for Wang Yun's "cutting redundant officials" in vague words.

Wang Yun sat still, his expression was silent, but his eyes were uncontrollably astringent, his heart was ups and downs like waves, and he actually had the urge to cry!
Tang Mao, Liu Dai, and then Liu Biao, Wang Yun still doesn't understand.

Except for His Majesty in the palace, there is absolutely no one who can make these three people change their attitudes at the same time!

These days, he has been impeached countless times, attacked by the government and the public, and the Shangshutai is isolated. Looking up, he is an 'enemy'!
It can be said that he was wronged, endured humiliation, and even prepared to go to prison and die.

Never thought that His Majesty in the palace would support him after all!

'Your Majesty! '

Wang Yun straightened his face, if Liu Biao wasn't here, he really wanted to kneel down and shout.

Liu Biao originally wanted to make a long speech, but seeing that Wang Yun's thoughts were not on his side, he slowly retracted the topic, got up and said, "I will not disturb the prince, I will come to ask for advice another day."

Attitude expression, purpose achieved.

Wang Yun subconsciously stood up and sent Liu Biao out.

At the door, both of them smiled and exchanged warm greetings.

The Shangshutai has already exploded. I don't know how many people are trying to find out what Tang Hao, Liu Dai, and Liu Biao said when they saw Wang Yun at this time.

Yang Biao was in charge of the room. He blinked a smile with a strange expression, and said to himself: "What's wrong with these people? They are so close to Wang Zishi all of a sudden?"

Li Ru, who punished Cao Cao, was startled and frightened, and wanted to ask Wang Yun for clarification, but it was too eye-catching to go now, so he had to wait until night.

Xun You and the others were equally curious, but held back and did not move.

Wang Yun sent Liu Biao away, stood at the door for a while, then turned around suddenly.

Countless people watching his back were shocked and shrank back abruptly.

In the panic, there were various collisions and falls, and there were endless noises from tables, chairs, benches, teacups and tea sets.

Wang Yun ignored it, with a sullen face, staring eyes, unable to calm down, and went back to the duty room with his hands behind his back.

His eyes were sour and red, and his fists were tightly clenched.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Wang Yun gritted his teeth, poked his neck, and said in a low voice.

For many years, Wang Yun has never been so excited.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Yun gradually calmed down and sat silently.

Suddenly, he sat up straight with a firm expression and burning eyes. He reached out to take Xun You's official document, read it carefully, and approved one: "Yun."

Immediately, Wang Yun closed the official document, got up and left the room.

The door of Wang Yun's value room can now be said to be the focus of the entire Shangshutai. As soon as Wang Yun opened it, countless pairs of eyes hid in fear.

When he came out, he even held his breath, not daring to take a breath.

Wang Yun turned a blind eye to these and went straight to Xun You's room.

Xun You was startled, and before Wang Yun approached, he had already greeted him at the door, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty has seen the prince."

Not only Xun You was frightened, but everyone else became nervous.

What happened today is too weird, no one knows what happened, what is Wang Yun going to do!
Wang Yun entered Xun You's study, with a blank expression on his face, he handed over the official document and said, "I've already approved it."

Xun You was dazed, took it over and opened it to look, very surprised, but didn't know how to ask.

"I still want you to wait until the redundancies are over."

Wang Yun's expression was indifferent, his eyes were still red, but his tone was very calm, and he said, "I'm just suggesting."

After speaking, Wang Yun turned and left.

Xun You opened his mouth, but made no sound.

Tang Mao, Liu Dai, and Liu Biao were enough to shock him, and Wang Yun not only approved it, but also sent it over in person, which made him even more astonished and even uneasy.

After Wang Yun left for a long time, Xun You woke up with a start, and hurriedly said to the clerk on duty: "Look, I'll go back as soon as I go."

"You want to find me?" Zhong Yao with a solemn face was facing him.

Xun You didn't care about anything else, he pulled them over and drove the others away, before he sat down, he said in a low voice, "The prince personally brought it to me."

Zhong Yao nodded, sat down and said, "I saw it."

Xun You followed him and sat opposite him, with an anxious expression on his face, he said, "If you have any ideas, please tell me."

Because of the 'reduction of redundant officials', the atmosphere at Shangshutai has become increasingly tense recently.

Zhong Yao was very calm, with his usual serious face, and said: "Mr. Tang is a lieutenant and a relative of Sili; Liu Dai is one of the Nine Ministers, a big farmer, and the royal family. Liu Biao is the Yushi Zhongcheng, Yushitai. You, Shangshu tower."

Foreign relatives, royal family, Yushitai, Shangshutai—— Qihuo.

Xun You raised his head, his face was stunned, and he muttered to himself, "It turns out that His Majesty took action."

Zhong Yao wasn't surprised at all, and said: "If Your Majesty doesn't take action again, how did the prince come down to Taiwan? Is it possible that he really wants to see the prince be subdued?"

Xun You said thoughtfully, "I'm curious how Your Majesty persuaded Tang Hao, Liu Dai, and Liu Biao."

Zhong Yao shook his head and said, "Take away your curiosity. Don't you think there will be big troubles next?"

Xun You was stunned for a moment, recovered his senses, thought for a while, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and said: "You mean, Your Majesty did this for another purpose?"

Zhong Yao said: "After this incident, there will be no hindrance to the reduction of redundant officials. In the Shangshutai, the prince will keep his word."

Xun You frowned upon hearing this.

If Wang Yun overwhelmed Prime Minister Yang Biao and actually took charge of Shangshutai, the situation would change again.

Compared with Yang Biao who is wise and safe, and Wang Yun who is self-willed, Xun You still thinks Yang Biao is easier to get along with.

Suddenly, Xun You changed color in horror, and almost lost his voice: "You mean, His Majesty wants to force something?"

Seeing Xun You come back to his senses, Zhong Yao's expression became more serious, and he said, "I guess, His Majesty is dissatisfied with the reform of the Si Li, the transfer of taxes, and the stagnation of the Salt Administration."

Xun You looked at Zhong Yao, and had a conjecture in his heart that made him feel flustered, he hesitated to speak.

Zhong Yao didn't speak, just looked at him.

Xun You steadied his mind, leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Tell me, does Your Majesty intend to change his appearance?"

This time it was Zhong Yao's turn to be shocked. He hadn't thought about this level before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it's completely possible!
But immediately Zhong Yao said: "For the time being, I probably won't."

Xun You listened to the word "for the time being", nodded, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Yang Biao's room.

Wang Yun will surely disappoint many people if he survives this catastrophe.

Zhong Yao shook his head and said, "Don't think too much about it. You are an official Cao Shangshu, and you are in quite a lot of trouble."

Xun You didn't care about this, and said, "Originally, according to the plan, the subordinate officials of the Sangong Mansion will be cut down tomorrow."

"So fast?"

Zhong Yao was a little surprised. Shouldn't this kind of reduction be discussed repeatedly and argued back and forth, and wouldn't it be implemented within two or three months?

Xun You looked at him and said: "A few days ago, Your Majesty chatted with me. He once said that whether it is the "new system" of Shangshutai or the reduction of redundant officials, it should be completed by the end of the year as much as possible. Next year, the Yuan will be changed and the battle will be light."

Zhong Yao directly ignored the word 'as far as possible'.

By the end of the year, it's only a month!

He understood it completely, and said: "Your Majesty is using a prince to chop up the mess with a sharp knife."

Dong dong dong

Suddenly there was a light knock on the door.

Xun You coughed lightly and poured tea for Zhong Yao.

A small official pushed the door open, saw the two of them, raised his hand and said, "Shang Shu, Your Majesty has returned to Beijing."

 It's the last day, ask for a monthly pass~ If you don't vote, it will expire.
