Han family achievements

Chapter 176 Don't Be a Cao Thief

"What do you want me to agree to?"

Liu Bian walked straight into the teahouse without stopping.

When Cao Cao and He Xian heard the words, they turned their heads and saw that it was Liu Bian. Their expressions changed, and they stood up one after another. They raised their hands and said, "I see Your Majesty."

The shopkeeper and clerk not far away were startled, came out in a panic, knelt down and said: "The villain sees Your Majesty."

Liu Bian waved his hands, sat down at the table, and said: "Drinking in the teahouse, the two Qings are in a good mood."

He Xian was so nervous that he was at a loss, sweat broke out on his head, and he was speechless.

Cao Cao was much calmer, standing in front of Liu Bian, raised his hand and said, "Return to Your Majesty, He Xiancheng wants to join the army."

Wang Yun stood beside Liu Bian, staring at Cao Cao indifferently.

At this moment, Pan Yin took the shopkeeper and Xiao Er to the back, leaving only Liu Bian, Cao Cao, He Xian and others.

Liu Bian glanced at He Xian's wife, Yin Shi, who was indeed a charming young woman. He turned his gaze to He Xian who was anxious, and said calmly, "I heard from my mother that you just gave birth to a son named He Yan?"

He Xian was sweating profusely nervously, and said tremblingly: "Yes, yes."

He couldn't help but be nervous. His father He Jin's "entering the palace", "leaving for leave", "retiring from office" and then "death of illness" happened too fast and too secretively. The news of "death" was revealed. Before that, He Jin was a taboo that no one could or dared to mention!
Who doesn't know how powerful his father was back then, His Majesty in front of him didn't pay attention at all, he could point his nose at him and teach him a lesson.

Now, his father's death is not clear, even though he and Liu Bian are cousins, He Xian is still in fear all day long, fearing that he will suddenly 'die' one day.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Bian reprimanded him: "Why are you panicking? Stand still. The queen mother likes children, so she will bring He Yan into the palace and accompany the queen mother. When my child is born, let He Yan enter the palace to accompany her to study."

He Xian was startled and terrified, he didn't know what to do for a while.

Liu Bian frowned, this cousin is not as good as his father.

He looked at Cao Cao and said indifferently: "What? It's a little credit, can I support my cousin?"

Cao Cao's expression changed slightly, he raised his hand and said, "I dare not."

Liu Bian snorted coldly, and said, "Don't you dare? I heard that you were at Shangshutai, confronting Wang Pushe tit-for-tat, sneering and sarcastic, in a very loud tone? Did I pamper you too much? If you have some credit, you will be defiant." ?"

Cao Cao opened his long and narrow eyes, his eyes were fixed, and the corners of his face straightened, he knelt down and said: "I am confused, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Cao Cao lying on the ground, Wang Yun's eyes flashed coldly, and he felt very happy.

Liu Bian looked at the back of Cao Cao's head, and said in a bad tone, "Yuan Shao's little concubine, was you taken into the house?"

That concubine was the one Yuan Ji used to frame Cao Cao.

Cao Cao knocked his head on the ground, his dark face was like iron, his eyes were wide open, ice-coloured, and said: "Yes."

Liu Bian snorted coldly, and said: "You don't have much credit, but there are a lot of women. From now on, before you take a concubine, you must first notify me, and if you dare to mess around, go to intercourse and never come back."

Cao Cao's heart was filled with chills, his eyes were terrified, and he tried to keep his tone calm and said: "The minister leads the order."

In the past, no matter how big a crime he committed, His Majesty in front of him never reprimanded him, but comforted him more and reused him more.

In front of Liu Bian, Cao Cao felt scared for the first time!
Wang Yun let out a big breath of anger in his heart, and secretly sneered: Without His Majesty's protection, you, Cao Cao, are nothing!
He Xian stood aside, sweating like rain, his legs trembling, as if he couldn't stand still.

Yin's pink face gradually turned pale, and she quietly hid behind He Xian.

In the small tavern, the quiet needle drop could be heard.

Liu Bian looked at Cao Cao and said in his heart: Such a beating should be effective, right?
For Cao Cao, Liu Bian had great hopes. This kind of hope surpassed Xun Yu, and even surpassed everyone else!
But Cao Cao is also an extremely uncontrollable factor, and he must pay equal attention to kindness and power, and cannot blindly give kindness.

"His Majesty,"

Pan Yin stepped forward quietly and said in a low voice, "Liu Zhang is here."

Liu Bian hummed, stood up, looked down at Cao Cao who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "After going to Qingzhou, act cautiously, respect Zhu Shijun, and don't act recklessly."

Cao Cao stared at the ground, breathed short and hard, and said in a calm voice: "I obey the order."

Liu Bian glanced at He Xian again, and said, "There are so many things in Luoyang County, so make good use of them, and don't think about what you have all day long."

"Chenchen obeys the order." He Xian said tremblingly, not caring about wiping off his sweat.

Liu Bian ignored them, turned around and left the tavern.

"Minister Liu Zhang, see Your Majesty." As soon as he went out, Liu Zhang, who was fat, white and honest, raised his hand cautiously.

Liu Bian's indifferent expression suddenly became warm, and he smiled and said, "Liu Qing's family, come with me?"

The main purpose of his going out of the palace this time is this Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang turned sideways quickly and said, "Yes."

Wang Yun glanced at Liu Zhang with an indifferent expression, thinking in his heart.

Liu Yan served as Yizhou Shepherd and monopolized the military and political power. He not only ignored the court, but also impeached him for usurping the emperor's artifacts. The impeachment with ulterior motives has never stopped.

This Liu Zhang was sent to Beijing, in fact, is a 'proton'.

Liu Bian paced back and forth, stroking the jade around his waist with his right hand, and said slowly: "Liu Qing's family, are you still used to living in Beijing?"

Liu Zhang smiled honestly and said, "Your Majesty is taking care of you in Beijing. I eat and drink well. I have gained a few catties recently."

Liu Bian looked back with a smile, nodded and said, "Yes, you are indeed getting fat. Did Liu Qing's family send a letter to Qing's family? What did you say?"

Liu Zhang followed Liu Bian, lowered his head, and said with an undiminished smile, "Returning to your majesty, it's just some parents who tell me to eat and dress on time. My father also said that he is old and always chatters."

"Did you not mention His Majesty?" Wang Yun interrupted suddenly.

Liu Zhang was startled, and quickly raised his hand to Liu Bian's back, and said, "Yes, my father said in the letter that your majesty is wise and mighty, and he is a king of the ages. What's more, I want my ministers to be cautious, not to cause trouble for His Majesty, rather to do less, and not to make mistakes, just to cause trouble for His Majesty..."

Liu Bian looked at the recruiting hall not far away, turned around and walked south, and said, "Oh, what do Liu Qing's family think of the court's new policy?"

The "Liu Qing's family" here refers to Liu Yan.

The corners of Liu Zhang's face twitched, as if he was trying to remember, and said for a while: "Chen Chen, I may have forgotten it. When I go back later, I must read the family letter again."

"What do the Qing family think of Yanzheng?" Liu Bian asked.

Liu Zhang raised his head slightly, looked at the back of Liu Bian's head, and secretly held his breath, knowing the purpose of Liu Bian's summoning him today.

He said without hesitation: "This is a good government that benefits the country and the people, and I agree with it very much."

"I want to send salt officials to Yizhou to take over the salt farms and take charge of the production, transportation, and sales of salt. Will Liu Qing's family agree?" Liu Bian said in a calm tone.

Wang Yun turned his head instantly and stared at Liu Zhang.

The smile on Liu Zhang's face didn't seem to decrease or increase, and he said respectfully: "The shore of the land, is it the land of the king? On the day your majesty's edict arrives, everyone in Yizhou will obey it."

Liu Bian looked at Cai's Mansion not far away, nodded in satisfaction and said, "With the words of the Qing family, I am at ease. Jia Qing's family is the inspector of the salt censor, and the prime minister of Yizhou Salt Administration receives [-] yuan a year. Wan should be fine. The Qing family will now go to the Shangshutai to see the householder Cao He Shangshu, and he will explain the detailed political strategy to the Qing family."

Liu Zhang showed joy, raised his hand and said loudly: "I accept the decree and leave."

Liu Bian frowned, and turned to look at Liu Zhang who was slowly retreating with his head down.

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes halfway, and said in his heart: I didn't understand, or did I have a countermeasure?
When he walked away, Wang Yun snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty, the Liu family father and son cannot be trusted!"

Liu Bian hummed, and said: "I didn't expect Liu Yan to bow his head and arrest him with just one edict. For the time being, I just need him not to cause trouble."

Wang Yun understood, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm still worried about Jizhou."

Salt administration concerns two places, one is Yizhou and the other is Jizhou.

Jizhou is also a place full of disasters. First, the Yellow Turban Army plundered, and then the Black Mountain Army invaded, and even forced Jizhou to move its government to Yecheng, which is close to Sili.

"Qingzhou is uncertain, but Jizhou is difficult."

Liu Bian looked to the north and said: "I sent Cao Cao to Qingzhou this time to calm down and eradicate this root cause!"

The current sphere of influence of the Yellow Turban Army is almost all over the seven northern states. Among them, Qingzhou is the most prosperous, the most powerful, and the strongest. It overflows from time to time, causing trouble to the surrounding states.

Wang Yun originally wanted to prevent Cao Cao from going to Qingzhou, but he stopped entanglement when he heard the words, and instead said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu has been in Qingzhou for more than a year, and he is still struggling. Send the general again."

Liu Bian was very satisfied with Wang Yun's transformation, and said with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry for now, let's see. The main target of the court's counter-insurgency is still Yuan Shu from Yangzhou."

When mentioning Yuan Shu, Wang Yun subconsciously wanted to object to the appointment of Yuan Shao as the general, but swallowed the words again.

Liu Bian glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said, "It's getting late, let's go back to Qing's house."

Wang Yun hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "I will leave."

Today he had mixed joys and sorrows. The worry was that Liu Bian transferred Li Ru away, and the joy was that Liu Bian appointed his eldest son Wang Gai as the palace guard, and reprimanded Cao Cao in front of him to build his prestige.

After Wang Yun left, Liu Bian and Pan Yin said, "Keep an eye on Liu Zhang, if he loses one point in ten thousand, I will cut off his head and give it to Liu Yan!"

Pan Yin bowed calmly and said, "Yes."

Liu Bian let out a sigh of relief, walked towards Cai's mansion with a smile.

Both of his women are pregnant, and one cannot favor the other.

At this moment, Cao Cao had returned to the mansion, sat opposite Guo Jia, and told about today's events, especially what happened in the tavern just now.

Cao Cao sat upright, his face sinking like water, his long and narrow eyes filled with anxiety.

Guo Jia was expressionless, took a sip of wine, and said, "I've been guessing who it is, but I didn't expect it to be Yuan Shao. Our Majesty's actions are really unexpected and hard to guess."

Cao Cao didn't care about Yuan Shao, he said in a deep voice, "Feng Xiao, Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied with me?"

Guo Jia looked at him, paused for a moment, and said, "It may not be dissatisfaction, maybe..."

Seeing Guo Jia hesitate to speak, Cao Cao suddenly regained his composure, and said in a simple and straightforward tone, "Feng Xiao, please speak up!"
