Chapter 151

Inside the Shouan Hall.

Liu Xie has recovered a lot, and his face is not as pale as before.

The three of them knelt down, Liu Bian was thinking about how to speak, while Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie were unconsciously nervous.

Because someone blatantly wanted to 'save' Liu Xie, pushing Liu Xie into an extremely dangerous situation.

Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie raised unprecedented vigilance against Liu Bian, as if Liu Bian would kill them suddenly for some reason at any time.

Liu Bian looked at the two of them, and straight-forwardly said, "Grandmother, did the late emperor leave a will to order the younger brother Liu Xie to succeed?"

Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie were obviously taken aback, and then they couldn't help but look at each other.

Empress Dowager Dong suddenly became alert and said, "I have never heard of any will."

Liu Xie hurriedly shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it either."

Liu Bian didn't see anything unusual on their faces, nodded, got up and said, "I see."

Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie didn't dare to speak any more, they just looked at Liu Bian's back, becoming more and more frightened.

Openly "saving" does not count, and now there is a "legacy" coming out. Isn't this going to force them to death?
Empress Dowager Dong waited for Liu Bian to leave, her calm expression turned into panic, she hugged Liu Xie, and couldn't help crying, saying: "My poor grandson..."

Liu Xie was also nervous, trying to keep his face calm, and comforted Queen Mother Dong and said, "Don't worry, grandma. The emperor said that he would not do anything like brotherhood. The royal family is an example in the world and is the most harmonious."

Empress Dowager Dong knew better than Liu Xie the cruelty of the royal family, but she was afraid of Liu Xie's worry, so she suppressed her fear and let out a cry.

Liu Xie patted Empress Dowager Dong on the back, pursed her lips quietly, feeling extremely frightened.

Liu Bian left the Shou'an Palace and went straight to Yongle Palace.

Empress Dowager He was very happy when Liu Bian came to rescue her immediately after the last earthquake. She pulled him and wanted to make delicious food for him.

Liu Bian smiled and stayed by her side, chatting with her sometimes.

The Empress Dowager He didn't know about the proclamation, she kept her hands on it, and said: "You are the emperor, don't touch these things, it's unlucky, go out."

Liu Bian smiled and said, "It's not auspicious for me to accompany my mother to cook some food."

Empress Dowager He glanced at him, smiled more and said: "You, stop busy with government affairs, and give birth to a prince as soon as possible. Speaking of this, you really don't look like Father Ni..."

To what extent Liu Bian's cheap father is lewd and licentious, let me give you a simple example - he ordered all the court ladies to wear crotch pants so that he can be in heat anytime, anywhere!

Liu Bian shook his head secretly, but he didn't really care about these things, observing the Empress Dowager He's expression, he said suddenly: "Mother, there is a rumor outside the palace, saying that the father left some edict, and the edict is for Liu Xie to succeed. "

Empress Dowager He paused, then turned around with a gloomy face, without concealing the murderous intent in her eyes, and said, "Who passed it on? I have exiled his nine clans!"

Liu Bian looked at her expression, felt a thump in his heart, and said, "Is there really such a will?"

"no!"

Empress Dowager He snorted coldly, and said: "I have never heard of the late emperor's edict. Your father only has one edict, which is to order you to be the crown prince and inherit the throne!"

Liu Bian looked at Empress Dowager He's expression and became suspicious.

Empress Dowager He's reaction seems to be true, but if his cheap father really left a will, it should be given to Empress Dowager Dong or Jian Shuo and other twelve permanent attendants, not to Empress Dowager He or He Jin.

Furthermore, it seemed very abnormal that it had taken such a long time to suddenly appear.

Empress Dowager He stared at Liu Bian and said, "Bian'er, if someone really wants to spread such rumors, he will be punished and will never be forgiven!"

Liu Bian nodded calmly, and said, "I have ordered Zuo Li to mobilize 3000 people and arrange them throughout Luoyang."

Empress Dowager He then relaxed, snorted coldly, and said, "I told you a long time ago that the old woman and Liu Xie cannot stay. You are soft-hearted, so kill them now!"

The corners of Liu Bian's face twitched involuntarily. Doesn't this mean that there is a will of the will, and the truth is given for nothing?

He hurriedly said: "Queen, the water boiled and came out..."

Empress Dowager He frowned, and complained a little: "This is not like your father, whoever he wants to kill, with a look, Zhang asked them to kill."

Seeing that she didn't insist, Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief.

How many assholes did that cheap old man do, and he couldn't handle it in the end, so how can he learn from him?
The faint king of the Han Dynasty, he can't be justified if he doesn't rank first, right?

Liu Bian accompanied Empress Dowager He for dinner, and talked nonsense until night. Before leaving, Empress Dowager He held him and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter whether Liu Xie kills or not. The key is that you have a prince. I'll give you I picked some good families to enter the palace, don't just stay in the Tang Ji Palace all the time, if you can't give birth to a child for more than half a year, I love her for nothing..."

Only then did Liu Bian understand why the relationship between Empress Dowager He and Tang Ji seemed to suddenly become estranged.

"I know the queen mother." Liu Bian shook his head secretly, impatient to leave.

Empress Dowager He didn't nag this time, when he walked away, she suddenly became indifferent.

A court lady not far away came over with small steps, bowed her head, and waited for orders.

Empress Dowager He's eyes were indifferent, her tone was cold, and she said: "Send a message to He Miao, let him do it cleanly, and go back honestly after finishing it, if there is a little bit of rumor leaking, don't blame me for not being a brother and sister!"

"Yes." The palace maid replied, and silently stepped back.

Empress Dowager He stood at the door, looking in the direction of Shou'an Hall, with cold eyes.

Liu Bian hadn't returned to the Jingfu Hall when a small broken step from the Zhonghuang Gate came up to him and said, "Your Majesty, Xun Shangshu has been waiting for you."

Liu Bian hummed and strode back.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

As soon as he returned to the door, Xun You raised his hand and said.

Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "The Qing family comes in, and everyone else goes out."

In the study, Liu Bian and Xun You sat opposite each other, pondered for a while, and said, "The Qing family was originally a staff member of the General's Palace, have you ever heard about the will?"

Xun You was stunned, and immediately shook his head, saying: "I have never heard of it."

Immediately, he looked solemn, and said: "Your Majesty, these are nothing more than excuses for the rebels to rebel. Your Majesty is the son of the middle palace. The succession to the throne is natural and undisputed. It is known by the government and the public, and the world hopes! Your Majesty does not need to care about it. Put down the rebellion of Yuan Shu and others."

Liu Bian smiled and said: "What the Qing family said is true. The Qing family is still waiting for me so late, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Liu Bian no longer pursued it, Xun You felt relieved, paused, and said with a more serious expression: "Your Majesty, the Yuan family has four generations and three princes, and the disciples and old officials are all over the world. Yuan Shu's rebellion will inevitably have many people following him, not only In Yuzhou and Yangzhou, I am afraid that other states and counties will follow suit and bring disaster to the world!"

Liu Bian looked at him and said: "What the Qing family said is in line with my wishes. I also considered this, so I ordered the states outside Yuzhou to stand still and focus on stabilizing the states."

Xun You raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'm worried that Dong Zhuo won't do his best, and he will probably support his troops like he did in Bingzhou, and listen to the announcement instead of listening to the tune."

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "This time, he can't be left alone. Yuan Shu's rebellion has been planned for a long time, if he can't defeat Dong Zhuo in a short time, he will definitely collapse himself!"

Xun You was thoughtful, but still remonstrated: "Your Majesty, I ask Cao Cao of Yanzhou to lead his troops to the south and attack from three sides, and put down Yuan Shu as soon as possible!"

Liu Bian shook his head and said, "Qingzhou has not yet been settled, and Jizhou is still in chaos. Cao Cao cannot leave Yanzhou."

Xun You looked at Liu Bian, feeling an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.

What His Majesty said seems to be right, and there are good reasons, but Xun You always feels that there seems to be some other purpose in it.

Xun You pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, Shangshutai has sent letters to all the states, asking them to take the call to arms seriously and prepare for war. The bank has raised 13, and plans to give half of it as money and food for this campaign."

Liu Bian picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said: "I still want to remind the Qing family to subdue the rebellion and leave it to the Da Sima Mansion to deal with it. The Shangshutai must focus on promoting reforms, eliminating bad governance, clarifying the administration of officials, summing up experiences and lessons, so as to comprehensively Promote."

Seeing Liu Bian say this, Xun You became more and more suspicious.

It can be said that Yuan Shu's call for rebellion was unprecedented. Even if His Majesty in front of him had expected it and made arrangements, such a calm reaction was too abnormal!
"His Majesty!"

Before Xun You could speak again, Pan Yin hurried in, handed over a memorial, and said, "The emergency memorial in Hanzhong."

'Hanzhong?Sun Jian? Doubt flashed across Xun You's eyes.

Liu Bian reached out to take it, glanced up, then looked at Xun You, and said calmly: "Sun Jian's memorial said that thousands of people appeared from nowhere and tried to attack him, but they have been repelled so far."

Xun You was stunned, and said puzzledly: "A Qiang people? No, Zhong Tingwei went to Sanqiang twice and convinced them. Besides, it's the cold winter, and the road is blocked by heavy snow. What are they going to do in Hanzhong? There is no one in Bingzhou. Such a big banditry..."

Liu Bian put down the memorial, his face expressionless, and murderous intent emerged in his heart.

Xun You was puzzled, but he was very clear in his heart.

It was that Yizhou pastor who couldn't sit still and started to test things out!
Looking at Xun You's expression, Liu Bian said, "It's not the Sanqiang, it's just some bandits. Sun Jian is enough to deal with it. Over there in Jizhou, the Qing family is so much troubled, the Yan government cannot afford to fail!"

Qianzhuang originally had a bright future, but with Yuan Shu's chaos, it was unable to spread around, and Luoyang City would not be too much after it was squeezed dry. The root cause was still in the Yanzheng.

Xun Youqing knew that the matter in Hanzhong was not easy, seeing that Liu Bian didn't say much, he also vaguely guessed that it was Liu Yan, and his headache became even more painful, so he raised his hand and said, "Your minister leads the order."

Liu Bian hummed, calculated the situation carefully, and said calmly: "The Qing family needn't worry too much, the overall situation is still controllable."

Xun You was not as optimistic as Liu Bian. The situation became more complicated and severe unconsciously. After thinking about it, he raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please go to Yangzhou."

Liu Bian shook his head and said, "Persuade Han Fu? No need. I have considered this matter myself, and the Qing family has to concentrate on Shangshutai affairs."

Xun You looked directly at Liu Bian, feeling even more strange in his heart, but he couldn't figure out why, so he said, "I'm taking the decree."

Liu Bian nodded, looked at Pan Yin, and said, "Please come and see me, Da Sima."

"Yes." Pan Yin replied.

Seeing this, Xun You got up and said, "I will leave."

Liu Bian reached out to pick up the notebook beside him, which was written by Huangfu Song.

The content is mainly about the 'Military Commander System'.

Since the Qin Dynasty, although the division of civil and military affairs seems to be clear and not so clear, the main reason is that military generals also pay attention to their backgrounds. Even if various famous generals occasionally come from poor families, they will soon be integrated into the "civilian system" in various forms.

In the Han Dynasty, the state herdsmen, prefects, and county magistrates had too much power, and they were both military and political powers. They were princes big and small in one place, forming an independent kingdom. Within the 'Kingdom', everything is one word, with the right to soldiers and taxes, absolute power to the subordinates, and obedience to the superiors.

This is also one of the reasons for the rapid decline of the Han court.

In Huangfusong's memorabilia, he proposes a division of civil and military affairs, and establishes ranks for military commanders, independent of civil officials.

This is also upholding Liu Bian's idea.

Liu Bian watched quietly, analyzing the pros and cons.

Two days later, Sanyang County.

Cao Cao came back from the bandit suppression in Taishan County, holding two official documents and two proclamations, and walked into his temporary Wuwei General's Mansion, but instead of going back to the backyard, he went straight to Guo Jia's small courtyard.

The two sat down, Cao Cao stared at the two official documents on the table with a gloomy face.

Guo Jia had already seen it, observed Cao Cao's face, and said, "I remember, there seems to be a rift between the general and the Yuan family?"

At the beginning, it was Cao Cao and Xu Rong who joined forces to break through Runan County and wiped out the three clans of the Yuan family.

A sharp light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he said: "Last year, I was the captain of Nangong, and I was framed by the Yuan family. Fortunately, Your Majesty was able to escape through careful investigation."

Guo Jia heard about it, glanced at the two proclamations, and said: "Han Fu's official document is to invite the general to participate in the grand event, and to appoint the general as Yanzhou shepherd. The general plays. What does the general think?"

Cao Cao snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished! Feng Xiao, I want to write a letter to Your Majesty, please order to lead the army to conquer Yuan Shu, and will never return to the court if you win!"

Guo Jia looked at him, took a sip of wine, and said, "In this official document, the imperial court only asked the general to be on standby, and did not dispatch the general to Yuzhou. Does the general have any ideas?"

Cao Cao raised his head, his eyes showed doubts, and said, "What does Fengxiao mean?"

Guo Jia looked at the map on Cao Cao's back and said, "I speculate that the imperial court may still be worried about Qingzhou and Jizhou. The generals are on standby. If they don't go south, they might go north."

Cao Cao's long and narrow eyes flashed with brilliance, and said, "You mean, I should write a letter and ask for orders to go to Jizhou?"

Guo Jia shook his head, and said: "The general should ask for an order to go south, but according to my estimation, the general will return to Yanzhou sooner or later, even if he is not the state shepherd, he is better than the state shepherd."

Cao Cao thought about it, and said, "Is it because Yanzhou is an important place for military strategists?"

Guo Jiadao: "With the chaos in Yuzhou, the importance of Yanzhou will become more prominent. If Yanzhou is not lost, the Sili will be stable. If Yanzhou is lost, the Han Dynasty will be in danger."

Cao Cao understood, and said solemnly, "Feng Xiao, do you think Dong Zhuo can put down Yuan Shu and Han Fu?"

Guo Jia drank the wine, a look of strangeness flashed across his face, and said, "I always feel that something is wrong. Han Fu is a disciple of the Yuan family, and the chaos in Yuzhou has already appeared. Why did the imperial court appoint Han Fu as the shepherd of Yangzhou? How could His Majesty agree?" ?”

Cao Cao was startled, slowly frowned, and then said indifferently, "Could it be that there are remnants of the Yuan family in the imperial court who secretly communicated with Yuan Shu?"

If you want to say that the closest relationship with Yuan Shu in the court is the prime minister Yang Biao.

Yang Biao is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, the biological uncle of Yuan Shu, and the brother-in-law of Yuan Shu's father, Yuan Feng!
Guo Jia still shook his head and said: "Prime Minister has always been wise and safe. To do so is to dig his own grave and make the Yang family follow in the footsteps of the Yuan family. He wouldn't be so stupid. That's why I can't figure it out."

Guo Jia couldn't figure it out, and Cao Cao was equally puzzled.

The two were silent for a long time, Cao Cao still said: "Let's ignore these for now. Fengxiao, can Dong Zhuo calm down Yuan Shu?"

Guo Jia drank the wine, his face was a little drunk, and said: "Yuan Shu has the merits of exterminating the eunuch party, and is the son of the Yuan family, and the world respects it. Yuzhou has been run by the Yuan family for many years, and Yangzhou is the depth. Dong Zhuo just arrived. Short It is bound to be difficult to win in time.”

Cao Cao frowned deeply. Dong Zhuo couldn't win in a short time, which meant that Yuan Shu would become bigger and Yuzhou would lose. It wasn't just Yanzhou that was in danger. From Yingchuan to the north, Luoyang was close at hand!
"Gongsun Zan is a mighty general in Youzhou, with [-] elite soldiers in his hands, he can't win quickly?" Cao Cao asked unwillingly.

Guo Jia seemed to be reminiscing about the strength of the wine, and said after a long time: "General, don't underestimate Yuan Shu, let alone fifty thousand troops, even one hundred thousand, it is difficult to win in a short time."

The corners of Cao Cao's face were tense, and his eyes were angry and gloomy.

Guo Jia could see it clearly, and said with a smile: "General, don't worry. If the situation in Yuzhou goes bad, the imperial court will recruit generals to go south."

"I wish I could send troops south immediately!" Cao Cao said with burning eyes.

Seeing the rebellious ministers and thieves blatantly calling for rebellion, Cao Cao couldn't bear it.

Guo Jia didn't say anything more, while drinking, he was still wondering why the court appointed Han Fu as Yangzhou shepherd.

……

At this time, at the junction of Yingchuan County and Runan County, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu had already met.

Yuan Shu personally led a 5000-strong army to the back of the palace, and [-] people from Pinglu Xiaowei Quyi served as the vanguard and stationed troops in Dingying.

And Gongsun Zan's [-] army, with [-] cavalry, stationed in Dingling, the two sides faced each other from a distance, and a big battle was imminent.

Gongsun Zan's Palace of General Fenwu.

Army Sima Yan Gang, Cavalry Captain Zou Dan and others knelt and sat down, with a calm expression and no tension before the coming of the war.

Gongsun Zan's face was full of dimples and bruises. He sat on the main seat, majestic and domineering, and said, "Everyone, you have seen the imperial court's order. I want to defeat the rebel army within ten days and capture Yuan Shu alive. What do you think?"

Yan Gang immediately raised his hand, and said loudly: "The general is invincible wherever he goes, little Yuan Shu is no problem!"

Zou Dan was more cautious, and said: "General, the Yuan family has worked in Yuzhou for many years, and old students and officials can be seen everywhere. It is said that Yuan Shu has recruited more than [-] troops, so we must be careful."

Gongsun Zan nodded expressionlessly, and said, "Feng Cheng's words are reasonable. The general has found only 3 Yuan Shu, and he came to Yingchuan this time to use me as a stepping stone to build his reputation!"

Yan Gang sneered, and said, "Yuan Shu, you are just a bereaved dog, a remnant of an exterminated family, wishful thinking! General, the last general begs for orders, lead three thousand troops, and show off for the general!"

Gongsun Zan smiled with deep satisfaction, but he didn't mean to underestimate Yuan Shu, and said, "Didn't he plan to personally lead the army to wipe out this thief two days after the appointment? Thanks!"

"The general is mighty!"

Yan Gang and Zou Dan raised their hands together and said loudly.

The soldiers of the gate guards all smiled and were full of confidence, as if destroying Yuan Shu was nothing more than a trivial matter with their general's ability!

 Sorry for being late.

  Keep working hard tomorrow!
