Han family achievements

Chapter 150: The Joy of Fish and Water
Dong Zhuo left this humble teahouse with Liu Bian's mission and firm determination.

As soon as he left, Wang Yun couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo is an eagle-eyed man with unpredictable ambitions..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Bian waved his hands and said, "You are not joking."

He turned to Liu Dai, and said, "Soldier armor and equipment, military pay and food, give priority to Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zan."

As soon as Liu Dai raised his hand, Liu Bian stood up and said, "Shangshutai immediately called a meeting of all officials to discuss countermeasures and issue papers to various prefects."

After speaking, Liu Bian left directly.

Yang Biao, Wang Yun and others looked at Liu Bian's back and peeked at each other.

For such a big matter, His Majesty only has these two sentences to explain?
Yang Biao was silent for a long time, suddenly his fat face straightened, his eyes sank, and he said: "Shangshutai discusses matters, Liucao Shangshu, Shilang, Jiuqing, no one can be absent!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around.

Wang Yun's face was indifferent, his eyes were burning with anger, his heart was both shocked and angry, and he kept thinking about countermeasures.

Liu Dai watched the two big men leave, and didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only keep up.

Liu Bian drove away Pan Yin and Zhao Yun, and only brought Dian Wei and the plainclothes guards, walking casually on the streets of Luoyang.

Dian Wei followed behind Liu Bian, his eyes wide open, vigilant about his surroundings.

Liu Bian was thinking about the impact of Yuan Shu's proclamation on the big man, and his various arrangements.

"History is always surprisingly similar..."

Liu Bian whispered to himself.

Another call to action, another Yuan Shu, another Dong Zhuo, another Runan and the Kwantung Allied Forces, an all too familiar scene!
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Liu Bian came to a temple with a plaque on it: Puguang Temple.

"Buddhist temple?"

Liu Bian was a little curious and walked in.

"Oh, Taoist."

Liu Bian saw some sculptures, not Buddha statues.

Now that he has come, he will be at ease, and he strolls towards the inside.

Liu Bian never believed in ghosts and gods. Looking at the many pilgrims passing by and the statues in the hall, he wandered aimlessly.

There are not many pilgrims in the backyard, most of them seek something, they are reserved and pious, not as unscrupulous as Liu Bian.

This temple is very big, Liu Bian wandered around for an unknown amount of time, and came to a secluded small courtyard.

There was no one to stop him, Liu Bian just took it as a stroll around the scenic spot, with his hands behind his back, pacing while thinking.

"Cai Yan has met His Majesty." Suddenly, a crisp voice came from behind Liu Bian.

Liu Bian paused and looked back.

Cai Yan, who was dressed in white, stood not far from the door of the wing room, saluted Liu Bian, without a veil, with a pretty fair face, eyes like water, with a strong bookish look and the unique charm of a young woman.

"Cai Xiaoniang?" Liu Bian was a little surprised, and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Cai Wenji took two steps forward and said softly, "I am a pilgrim here."

Liu Bian remembered that Cai Wenji's husband died last year, so he nodded. Without further ado, he wanted to move forward, but just as he took a step, he suddenly turned around, looked at Cai Wenji strangely and said, "Cai Xiaoniang, can you answer a few questions for me?" ?”

Cai Wenji was startled, and said, "What does Your Majesty want to ask?"

Liu Bian came back with a pensive look on his face, and for a while he didn't know where to start.

Cai Wenji saw that Liu Bian's eyebrows were furrowed, his face was confused and perplexed, and a trace of doubt flashed across his pretty face.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Bian suddenly said, "Go in and talk." As he spoke, he bypassed Cai Wenji and walked towards the wing behind her.

Cai Wenji pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and followed.

Liu Bian entered the wing room, which was a very ordinary guest room, with a small bed behind the curtain.

"Close the door." Liu Bian sat cross-legged in front of the small table, and said to Dian Wei.

Dian Wei closed the door in response, and stood by the door.

Cai Wenji blinked, and didn't suspect that Liu Bian had any wrongdoing, but seeing Liu Bian's increasingly silent and troubled expression, she quietly sat across from him.

Still not knowing where to start, Liu Bian took out Yuan Shu and Han Fu's call to action from his pocket, handed it to Cai Wenji, and said, "Cai Xiaoniang, please read this."

Cai Wenji's hands are like jade, so she took it and opened it to look.

Even though Cai Wenji didn't care about government affairs, she was still quite surprised by this call-to-action, and couldn't help but look up at Liu Bian.

Immediately she understood a little bit, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Your Majesty, is there really an edict from the late emperor?"

Liu Bian sat cross-legged, bowed a little, poured tea on his own, and said, "I've never heard of it, and this is the first time."

Cai Wenji grew up in Luoyang, because of her father's relationship, she naturally knows a little bit about it.If there really was a will, it would have spread throughout Luoyang City long ago.

Cai Wenji glanced at the proclamation again, looked up at Liu Bian, and said, "From Cai Yan's point of view, all of the above are malicious framings to make excuses for their rebellion. Why is Your Majesty bothering yourself?"

Ever since Liu Bian saw this proclamation, he felt inexplicably depressed and restless in his mind, which was hard to get rid of.

After thinking about it carefully, he took a sip of tea, and said in a deep thought: "I can't explain it clearly, there is a strange feeling of being let down by my deep affection."

Cai Wenji saw that Liu Bian's frowning eyebrows had not been loosened, her pretty face was calm, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, is it because of Yuan Shu?"

Liu Bian shook his head and said, "A fish that slipped through the net is not in my eyes."

"Is it Han Fu?" Cai Wenji asked.

Liu Bian still shook his head and said, "I specially arranged for him to be in Yangzhou."

Cai Wenji showed doubts on her pretty face, and said, "Your Majesty doesn't care about Yuan Shu, and Han Fu is in control again... Is it because the court officials didn't do anything?"

Liu Bian thought for a while, and said, "Not necessarily, I already knew about their individual abilities."

Cai Wenji stared at Liu Bian quietly, tilted her head slightly, blinked her eyes, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty wants to be a good emperor, strives for innovation, and gives benevolent government, but the government and the people don't understand, and instead rebelled... Are you sad? "

Startled, Liu Bian sat up straight and stared straight at Cai Wenji.

He seemed to be awakened by Cai Wenji, the irritability in his mind was swept away, his mood was no longer depressed, but he laughed and said: "The one who knows me, Cai Xiaoniang too!"

Cai Wenji's pretty face blushed slightly from being stared at, she subconsciously bowed her head, saw Liu Bian's cup of tea, and unconsciously pursed her lips, thinking of something, her pretty face became even more rosy.

This is the place where she often comes to Jingsi to study, and naturally she uses the teacup alone.

This is the second time Liu Bian has used her cup.

Liu Bian's heart became clear, and he stretched himself out. Looking at Cai Wenji's charming appearance, he said in a strange way, "Cai Xiaoniang, do you have a marriage?"

Cai Wenji raised her head and met Liu Bian's fiery gaze, her pretty face turned red to the ears.

... ([-] words omitted here)
An hour later, Liu Bian pulled away, smiling all over his face, and said refreshedly: "Go back to the palace! A bunch of jumping clowns, it's not worth my worrying about them!"

Dian Wei nodded heavily, turned his back to Liu Bian, scratched his crotch, and followed quickly.

In the wing room, Cai Wenji's eyes were like mist, her pretty face was moist, and she got up with her clothes on.

Inside the Shangshutai.

There are more than [-] bureaucrats at the highest level in the Han Dynasty today, from the prime minister to the minister of Liucao, there are more than [-] people in total.

After listening to Yang Biao's narration, everyone's face sank like water, and their anger was unbearable.

The 'Yellow Turban Uprising' is more or less understandable and even sympathetic.But Yuan Shu's is different, this is a betrayal of the ruling class - unforgivable, let alone unforgivable!
Zhong Yao looked serious, and said: "Prime Minister, we must concentrate our superior forces, coordinate with Yan, Jing, Xu and other prefectures and counties, and jointly attack, and eliminate Yuan Shu and other rebellious officials and thieves as soon as possible!"

Xun You said in a deep voice, "Cao Cao in Yanzhou has 13 elite soldiers, Gongsun Zan in Yingchuan [-], Guo Chen [-], Tao Qian in Xuzhou [-], Wang Rui in Jingzhou [-], and an army of [-]. Surrounded on all sides, one month is enough to put them down!"

Without hesitation, Li Ru said, "The lower officials seconded the proposal."

Liu Dai, He Yong and others followed one after another, saying: "The lower officials seconded the proposal!"

The other servants were low in status and didn't have much qualification to speak, so they hurriedly said at this time: "Second officials!"

Wang Yun's expression remained unchanged, and he glanced at the group of people coldly.

In his opinion, most of these people are Yingchuan Party members, and they don't know the so-called answerers!
He waited for the group of people to finish speaking, and said calmly, "Where does the money come from?"

Xun You bowed to him and said, "The bank got 13 yuan today, which is barely enough."

Wang Yun glanced at him, and said: "13 troops, 13, how long is it enough? If depositors come to withdraw money, how will the bank pay?"

Xun You had already thought about it, and said: "Sili's salt tax, Yanzhou handed over part of the money and food for confiscation, and it is expected to arrive in Beijing in ten days. The total amount is about [-] million, which is enough to pay."

Wang Yun snorted, and said: "Even so, who will lead the army? With an army of 13, even if Dong Zhuo has the status of a captain, who can subdue him in every state? I still prefer that Da Sima go out in person."

Although Wang Yun's words were very harsh at this time, they were also practical problems.

Dong Zhuo was originally a tiger-wolf who was 'unable to achieve success' and 'repeatedly defeated' in Xiliang. He had no prestige at all. It was simply fanciful to want the state shepherds, governors, prefects, etc. to listen to him obediently.

"Your Majesty, there is no intention to dispatch soldiers from Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, etc." Liu Dai said in a quiet voice, neither humble nor overbearing.

Everyone looked at him, and then turned to Yang Biao.

Yang Biao sat up straight, with a majestic expression, and said: "Your Majesty has never said that, judging from the facts, [-] troops are enough!"

"No!"

Wang Yun suddenly showed a stern face, and said: "We must fight quickly! These rebels must not be given any chance to breathe. The mighty man Tianwei must not be offended!"

A group of people looked at each other and whispered.

Wang Yun's words are not wrong, and so should it be.

The problem is that His Majesty in the palace only ordered Yanzhou and Xuzhou to reorganize the army, and did not order them to march into the conquest.

Xun You was not in the teahouse at that time, seeing Yang Biao's hesitant attitude at this moment, he suddenly asked, "Where is Your Majesty?"

For such a big matter, His Majesty in the palace never showed up?

Xu Yan, who was in charge of recording, got up quickly and said, "Your Majesty hasn't returned to the palace yet."

Everyone listened, only thinking that Liu Bian had something to do outside the palace.

Yang Biao said with a sullen face, "Dong Zhuo has already set off for Yuzhou to command an army of [-] in Yuzhou, which should be enough. Right now, what the imperial court has to do is to raise military rations, coordinate with the states and counties, and deal with this call for action!"

Xu Yan sat down and shook his head secretly.

This was discussed for a long time, which meant that nothing was said.

The real decision-maker must be His Majesty.

At this time, a small official came to the door and said: "I would like to report to the Prime Minister, Your Majesty has returned to the palace, and summoned the Jiade Palace to discuss matters."

Everyone immediately fell silent and got up almost unanimously.

Because Yang Biao, the prime minister, lacked decisive courage, or deliberately shied away, Shangshutai was different from before. Liu Bian basically needed Liu Bian to nod and make decisions on big and small matters.

When they arrived at the Jiade Hall, Xu Yan was already standing beside Liu Bian, and Liu Bian was sitting on the upper seat, looking at Xu Yan's records.

"Your Majesty, I will see you." Yang Biao led a large group of people into the main hall, saluting respectfully and cautiously.

"Excuse me, let's all sit down." Liu Bian said without raising his head.

The voice was calm, calm, as usual.

A group of courtiers observed Liu Bian's expression, and after thanking him, sat down one by one.

Wang Yun glanced at Yang Biao, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty..."

Liu Bian raised his hand, interrupted his words, put down the record, smiled and said to all the courtiers: "Record, I have read it, and I know what all the gentlemen think. With the Taiwei leading the army, I have enough for them Save face! A group of scumbags, there is no need to make a fuss and go to war. The imperial court still needs to be committed to promoting the New Deal, focusing on reforms, eliminating bad governance, and clarifying the administration of officials!"

More than 30 eyes were staring at Liu Bian. Seeing that he was calm and calm, without any panic, they, who were apprehensive and apprehensive, gradually calmed down.

"The courtiers wait for the order!" All the courtiers raised their hands and said loudly.

Liu Bian hummed, stood up and looked down at them, and said, "Other matters are decided by the Shangshutai. You are my courtiers of the Han Dynasty, so you should be courageous, don't get flustered by trivial matters, and lose your dignity."

The courtiers looked aghast, raised their hands again and said: "I am ashamed."

Liu Bian turned around and left Jiade Palace, heading straight to Yongle Palace.

He was puzzled about the "legacy", he remembered the death of He Jin and the series of abnormal behaviors of the Empress Dowager He before and after that.

"Go to Shou'an Hall." After walking a few steps, Liu Bian suddenly turned around.

If there is any will, it should be Empress Dowager Dong who knows it most.
