Chapter 136
Liu Bian left Hongdu school, then went to Taixue, followed by arsenal, then recruited talents, and finally returned to the palace.

"This arsenal is assigned to Xingcao,"

Liu Bian was walking on the way to the Jiade Hall, and said to Pan Yin, "For horses, weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, and arrows, we need to intensify our efforts, both in terms of quality and quantity, we must greatly improve..."

Pan Yin followed behind Liu Bian in small steps, and carefully wrote down the few times he wanted to remind Liu Bian about the money and food, but swallowed the words again.

Liu Bian came to Jiade Hall, put away his umbrella, and went straight to Shangshutai to the west.

Before he got close, he heard voices coming from the conference hall, probably from Yang Biao.

"As for filling the vacancies in the imperial court, it must be in place today!"

"You don't need to worry about the money and food. This is the matter of Hu Cao. You are on duty!"

"His Majesty has approved the policy outline, and there is no need to discuss it again."

"Master Zi, I know what you are going to say, this is the truth to consider!"

"The restructuring of Yushitai still needs to be discussed. Liu Zhongcheng, how many times have you asked, the truth is the same."

"Zhisu Duwei is the same servant, under the jurisdiction of Shangshutai, he is regarded as an imperial envoy, supervising taxation, and sees officials at half a level in various states and counties. Okay, I know what you mean. The temporary secretary, this is Shangshutai. No one can violate this decision."

"Impeachment? Yanzhou Mu? Don't impeach me, but report to Yushitai. I have no right to investigate and deal with the governor and governor of a state."

"Taichang wastes money and food? What does Cai Taichang have to say?"

"I don't want to listen to this. Let me ask you, is the money and food for the construction of the Hongdu School illegal? No, that's it. If you have any opinions, you can raise them yourself."

Liu Bian listened not far away, stopped the little official who wanted to report, and whispered to Pan Yin, "Has the Prime Minister been doing something lately?"

Pan Yin bowed and said, "Yes."

Liu Bian couldn't help laughing and laughing, listened for a while, then turned and left.

Along the way, there were servants and maids saluting, going back and forth, very busy.

Liu Bian went straight to Deyang Palace.

Deyang Palace is the largest palace in the imperial palace except Yongle Palace. Aragonite altar, painted houses with red beams, jade steps and gold pillars are two feet high and can accommodate more than ten thousand people!
This is the meeting place for all officials.

Speaking of which, Liu Bian has never held a court meeting here.

Walking in, at a glance, the hall is already filled with cushions, small tables, and tableware, and the arrangement is very festive.

Liu Bian nodded, sat on the main seat, and looked down at the hall from a high position.

At this moment, Liu Bian suddenly had a very different feeling, and his heart couldn't help surging, as if he was not looking at the main hall, but looking down at the whole world of Han!
Liu Bian couldn't help sitting upright, his eyes were burning, and he said in a deep voice, "Yonghan!"

Yonghan is Liu Bian's first year name, and it is only two days away from changing to Yuan Dynasty!
Pan Yin stood aside, watching the complacent expression on Liu Bian's side face, the resolute light in his eyes, and bowed subconsciously.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, a small official ran in, panting and urgently said: "Great joy! Great joy! Qingzhou Zhu Shijun defeated the Yellow Turban Army, surrendered 20 troops, and regained Donglai!"

Liu Bian stood up abruptly, without caring about anything else, went straight down the steps and went straight to Da Sima's mansion, walking so fast that he staggered and nearly fell down.

Pan Yin followed closely behind and said, "Your Majesty, slow down..."

Liu Bian ignored him, and soon came to the Da Sima Mansion to the east of the Jiade Hall.

"Excuse me." Liu Bian didn't give Huangfu Song a chance to salute, he went straight to the sand table, stared at the Donglai County flag, and said, "Tell me quickly."

Huangfusong withdrew his hand and stood behind Liu Bian, with a cold expression and a calm tone, he said, "Your Majesty, Donglai County is one of the largest dens of the Yellow Turbans. Since Donglai County is subdued, the blow to the rebels must be very heavy. .The most important thing is to conquer Dongnai County, and the east and west will be connected together. Zhu Shijun will completely take the initiative, from north to south, and the chaos of the Yellow Turban bandits will be put down just around the corner!"

Looking at the situation in Qingzhou, Liu Bian kept nodding his head, and said in an uplifting tone, "Okay, very good! The Da Sima Mansion will give meritorious service to Zhu Qing's family, and reward his generals who have made great achievements!"

Huangfusong looked at Liu Bian's excited expression and remained silent.

Liu Bian didn't wait for his voice, his heart skipped a beat, he looked back at him and said, "The Qing family, is there any bad news?"

Seeing this, Huangfu Song immediately said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, there is no bad news."

Liu Bian smiled and said, "The Qing family don't look like that."

Huangfusong's expression remained unchanged, he looked at Liu Bian, paused for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the bandits in Qingzhou have been in chaos for many years. Even if the counties and counties are regained, the important thing is to follow up to calm the people. If the victims cannot be appeased, the banditry will never end."

Liu Bian smiled, relaxed, and stared back at the sand table, saying: "The Qing family doesn't need to worry, next year I will take the salt government back to the court and transfer taxes to the northern states. used."

15 million, less than [-] to [-] last year!
Huangfu Song looked slightly relaxed, and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to send the Imperial Army to support Zhu Shijun?"

Hearing this, Liu Bian pondered.

Huang Fusong's so-called "Forbidden Army" is the soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army camp outside the city. Not long ago, Zhang Liao took 5000 people to Youzhou to support Liu Yu.

"hold on."

Liu Bian thought over and over again, but still did not agree.

The soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army camp had not received much training in fact, and most of them were refugees. Those with battle experience were basically taken away by Zhang Liao.

It is hard to say the pros and cons of letting a group of refugees go to Qingzhou.

Huangfusong could also understand, he was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, can you transfer Fenwu General Gongsun Zan to Qingzhou?"

Liu Bian shook his head directly, and said, "I'm going to transfer him to Yuzhou, but I always feel that something is going to happen in Yuzhou."

Huangfusong didn't speak any more.

There are so many state shepherds, governors, prefects, and generals in the Han Dynasty, but there are only a handful of them who can fight tough battles.

"However, generally speaking, the situation is improving." Liu Bian looked at it for a while and said with a smile in a comfortable mood.

Huangfusong followed and nodded, the Yellow Turban Army was most prosperous in Qingzhou, Zhu Jun won a big victory, regained Donglai, and Qingzhou will be pacified just around the corner!

Seeing Liu Bian happy, hesitation appeared on his face for the first time, and he said, "Your Majesty, regarding the dog's son Huangfu's tenacity, I..."

Liu Bian saw that Huangfusong's rare words didn't go smoothly, turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "Why, the Qing family usually beats people to death, so now you don't want your son to suffer?"

Huangfusong's face turned serious, he raised his hand and said: "I don't want him to suffer, but I'm just worried that he is young and frivolous, ignorant and fearless, and will spoil His Majesty's great affairs."

Liu Bian stood up straight and said, "Qing family, don't underestimate him. He recommended himself to go to Yuzhou this time. Be careful, there is no danger."

Huangfu Song raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Huangfu Jianshou is capable of this task."

Liu Bian waved his hand, and said: "Qing family, if I give him a chance, you should give him a chance too. You don't want him to be a dandy in Luoyang city all his life, disgraced the Huangfu family, don't you?"

When Huangfu Song heard this, his eyes struggled a little, and he said after a long time: "The minister accepts the decree."

Liu Bian saw it clearly, smiled and said with emotion: "Poor parents in the world."

Huangfu Song's expression moved slightly, he put down his hands, and said instead: "Your Majesty, someone recommended Cao Cao to the Da Sima Mansion."

"The Qing family thinks, how should he be arranged?" Liu Bian asked rhetorically.Regarding Cao Cao's arrangement, Liu Bian has never made up his mind.Cao Cao insisted on leading the army to make meritorious deeds, and it was a waste to stay in the court, but Liu Bian never thought about where to send him.

"I will consider it and send him to Sanfu." Huangfu Song said.He still admires Cao Cao very much. This man has been under him for a long time.

"I'll think about it again." Liu argued.In the land of Sansuke, there will be no war within the foreseeable time. It is too wasteful to let a hero like Cao Cao go there to waste time.

"Yes." Huangfusong didn't say much.The government and the public know one thing, that is, His Majesty is gracious to Cao Cao's family, which is unparalleled, and he has tried his best to protect him time and time again.

Huangfusong could also feel that His Majesty in front of him was going to use Cao Cao to great advantage.

After chatting with Huangfu Song for a while, Liu Bian left Da Sima Mansion, discussed with all the courtiers at Shangshutai until dark, and then returned to Jingfu Palace bedroom.

On the second day, when the sky was slightly bright, Liu Bian got up and went to the study, where he was reviewing the even-playing book while having breakfast.

Today is the end of the year, and the court holiday is coming soon. There are too many things to finish, and Liu Bian needs to seal it.

The time when you are busy is not called time, and it is noon before you know it.

Pan Yinduan brought lunch, looked at the gap, and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has selected a few women from good families to enter the palace."

Liu Bian picked up the spoon, put a mouthful of soup and rice into his mouth, and said, "Hasn't Liu Biao's memorial arrived yet?"

Pan Yin quickly bowed and said: "The villain just went to ask, and Shangshutai has some opinions on the reform of Yushitai, and we are still discussing it."

Yushitai originally had great power and position, and it was tied with Shangshutai. Now Liu Bian wants to give Shangshutai many privileges, especially to send imperial envoys to inspect the thirteen prefectures. Yang Biao, Wang Yun, including Xun You and others are worried This will cause fierce local backlash, which is not good for the overall stability of Dahan.

Therefore, Shangshutai and Yushitai have been arguing fiercely about the restructuring.

Without raising his head, Liu Bian said, "Send a message to Yang Biao that it will be settled today."

"Yes." Pan Yin replied.

"correct,"

Liu Bian didn't wait for Pan Yin to turn around, and said: "Recently, many people have become officials, and they have passed the message to Xun You. Some of them want to get a card, and some people need to hone their skills, so don't give them high positions."

Pan Yin's heart tightened slightly, not knowing who Liu Bian was referring to, and said cautiously: "Young man, let's go now."

Liu Bian didn't say anything more, and continued to immerse himself in the review.

Before I knew it, another two hours passed.

Pan Yin came in from the outside, stepped forward quietly, waited for a long time, could not wait any longer, then said: "Your Majesty, the banquet is about to begin."

Liu Bian's mind was a little stiff, and with a bang, he quickly reviewed a few words, then slowly raised his head, and said, "Is everyone here?"

Pan Yin said: "Your Majesty, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the king of Bohai, and the courtiers outside the palace have all arrived."

Liu Bian took a deep breath, calmed down for a while, got up and said, "I change clothes."

Pan Yin responded and recruited servants and court ladies.

At the same time, the Deyang Hall was full of people, the sound of talking and laughing filled the entire Deyang Hall, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious.

Yang Biao sat first on the left, opposite Huangfusong, followed by Wang Yun, opposite Liu Biao, and next were Taiwei Dong Zhuo, Liucao Shangshu, Jiuqing, Liucao Shilang and so on.

And because Liu Bian granted permission to bring his family members, Yang Biao brought his son Yang Xiu, Wang Yun brought Jingzhao Yin Gaixun, Huangfu Song brought his son Huangfu Jianshou, Dong Zhuo brought Hua Xiong, Zhong Yao brought Chen Qun, Cai Yong Bring Cai Wenji and so on.

At this moment, everyone seems to have forgotten fame and power, talking to each other and having a good time with the neighbors.

At that time, outside the palace, many people looked at the palace and knew that only important courtiers could enter the palace to attend His Majesty's grand banquet, and they all envied and longed for it.

In a tavern, Guo Jia was drinking alone, shaking his head and looking intoxicated.

With drunken eyes, seeing Cao Cao looking at the palace with a melancholy face, he couldn't help smiling, and said: "Don't worry, General Zhonglang, the day of being in the imperial court is not far away."

Cao Cao suddenly withdrew his melancholy expression, his long and narrow eyes gleamed brightly, staring at Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao, what can you teach me?"

He got along with Guo Jia for a few days. This man was addicted to alcohol, but he had extraordinary knowledge. If he didn't speak, he would hit the mark.

Guo Jia's eyes blurred, and he said, "An accident is going to happen in Yanzhou."

Cao Cao's expression was unmoved, his heart turned sharply, but he didn't know the point, and said slowly: "Fengxiao, Yanzhou... not long after the Great Sima was pacified, Mr. Ding has both elite soldiers and good generals. How could something happen?"

Guo Jia smiled, took another sip of wine, and said, "I expected that the envoy Nading would not be able to guard Shanyang County. I also expected that the imperial court would send General Zhonglang to lead troops to guard Yanzhou."

Cao Cao's pretended face was no longer calm, he sat up straight, stared at Guo Jia with serious eyes, and said, "Why did Feng Xiao say that?"



Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Guo Jia fell down on the table and fell asleep soundly.

Seeing this, Cao Cao hesitated.

He couldn't judge whether Guo Jia's words were drunk or not, and he expected it to be so.

……

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, King Bohai is here."

The yellow gate screamed sharply from the west gate of Deyang Hall, and then Empress Dowager Dong, Empress Dowager He, and Liu Xie entered one after another.

The Deyang Hall was silent, and the courtiers all arranged their clothes and raised their hands forward.

Behind Mrs. Dong was expressionless, but clearly visibly mean and indifferent.

Empress Dowager He is much calmer, with a smile on her face, elegant and comfortable.

The two entered behind the left and right curtains, one in front of the other.

Liu Xie walked to Yang Biao's side and sat down politely.Here is a small table cut diagonally, in a very special place.

The courtiers and those 'family members' glanced at Liu Xie calmly, raised their hands and bowed, and said: "I will see the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager."

"Exemption." Before the courtier's voice fell, the Empress Dowager He said with a smile, her tone full of excitement and complacency.

'The butcher's door!ridiculous! Empress Dowager Dong glanced at her with a stern expression.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager."

The courtiers put down their hands and sat aside.

Their gazes were on Liu Xie, sweeping back and forth on the curtains of the empress dowagers of the two palaces.

Many of you here have experienced the thrilling day that Liu Bian succeeded to the throne.

This scene is so similar!

To this day, it still makes some people feel uneasy.

In the originally bustling Deyang Hall, no one spoke anymore.

"His Majesty is here!"

At this time, at the east door, Pan Yin appeared with quick steps, screaming sharply.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bian, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, stepped in and walked to his seat.

"My ministers, see your Majesty."

Hundreds of people in the Deyang Hall stood up again, raised their hands and bowed together, their voices were like thunder, and surrounded the Deyang Hall endlessly, completely different from just now.

Liu Bian looked around, stood on Majesty Dan, waved his hands condescendingly, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, please excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hundreds of people thanked each other, put down their hands, and sat back.

All eyes were on Liu Bian, some were calm, some were in awe, some were curious, some were confused.

Liu Bian turned around, bowed to Empress Dowager Dong and Empress Dowager He, and said, "I have seen my grandmother, I have seen my queen mother."

Empress Dowager He smiled and said, "Ben'er is free of courtesy."

Empress Dowager Dong was deeply dissatisfied with this unworthy daughter-in-law, suppressed her anger, and said flatly: "The emperor is free."

"Thank you grandma, thank you queen mother."

Liu Bian smiled, regardless of the fight between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sat back in his seat and faced the courtiers.

After careful observation, we found a lot of strangers.

Liu Bian was all smiles, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.Compared with his previous manpower shortage and lack of talent, now he is full of holes and valleys, and there is no shortage of people at all!

The courtiers avoided Liu Bian's gaze, but Li Ru, Shangshu of Punishment Cao, suddenly picked up his wine glass, raised it high, and said loudly: "Since His Majesty took the throne, he has wiped out treacherous evil, eradicated bad governance, recruited talents, and clarified the court. The imperial conquest, beheading the Xiongnu Shanyu, Wenzhiwugong, ancient and modern, there are few comparable! I respectfully wish your Majesty a long-lasting blessing, and bless my great man for thousands of years!"

Flatterer!
Treacherous!

I don't know how many people cursed in their hearts.

Wang Yun looked indifferent, frowning secretly, dissatisfied with Li Ru's sudden appearance.

Li Ru turned a blind eye to the vague gaze, and stared at Liu Bian with admiration.

Liu Bian glanced at the expressions of the courtiers, picked up the wine glass with a smile, and said, "Li Qing's family has worked hard, let's drink together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Ru said loudly, then drank it all in one gulp, and returned to his seat.

Seeing this, Yang Biao pretended to ponder for a moment, shook his fat face, held up his wine glass with both hands, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has won a great victory over the Xiongnu, and the master Wang is excited. There are frequent news of success everywhere, and the people's hearts are stable. This is the sign of great prosperity. The prime minister, the subject is honored."

Liu Bian didn't expect Yang Biao to be so talkative, picked up his wine glass and said, "Prime Minister has also worked hard this year."

Wang Yun glanced at Yang Biao, snorted coldly in his heart, waited for Liu Bian to finish drinking, put down his glass, and said: "Your Majesty, the reduction of redundant officials has basically been completed, and there are still nearly [-] vacancies in each state. I plan to evaluate the Tai students and choose the best ones." record, filling the vacancies of the states."

Liu Bian smiled unchanged, waiting for Wang Yun to finish speaking.

Many people in the hall shook their heads secretly. This prince really spoils the fun. When he is so happy, does he have to discuss political affairs?
"Wang Qing's family has worked hard."

Liu Bian had a panoramic view of the expressions of all the ministers, and said, "Come here, and give Wang Qing's family a piece of...Jun Yan's emerald green."

Wang Yun seemed to be sorry, and said with a normal expression: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian looked at the others, his eyes fell on Huangfusong, and said, "I will give Huangfu Qing's family an appointment with respect."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huangfusong raised his hand and said.

Liu Bian looked at Xun You again, and said, "Xun Qing's family has worked hard this year, and I will give Qing's family a roast of badger."

Xun You quickly raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian moved his eyes, looked at Liu Biao, and said, "Liu Qing's family is in charge of Yushitai. He has worked hard and made great achievements. I bestow upon Qing's family a pair of orangutan lips."

Liu Biao had the demeanor of an outstanding celebrity, he raised his hand without changing his face when he heard the words, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian glanced at everyone again, and said with a smile: "Today we only talk about the friendship between the monarch and his ministers, regardless of other things, you can drink freely and speak freely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hundreds of people raised their hands in unison in response.

The banquet has officially begun.

At first everyone was still very reserved, but as Liu Bian stepped down from Majesty Dan, walked among the courtiers, drank and chatted privately with the courtiers, the huge Deyang Hall gradually relaxed and the atmosphere was warm.After drinking for three rounds, almost everyone really spoke freely.

Until late at night, the feast continued.

"His Majesty!"

I don't know what time it is, a little Huangmen stumbled in and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Qiaomao, the prefect of Dongjun County, in the name of Situ and Sikong, known as the 'Qingjun side', has rebelled and captured the mountain. Yang County!"

In Deyang Hall, there was an instant silence.
