Chapter 188 Liu Xie's Speech

Chapter 188 Liu Xie's Speech

Fu Wan was silently warned by Liu Bian, so he could only obediently send his daughter to the palace.

Outside, Liu Bian walked casually, followed by the nervous Liu Xie and Liu Biao.

Even though Liu Xie was young, he could sense the strangeness of Liu Bian's trip.

Liu Biao never expected that he would be dispatched to Jingzhou!

This is a road never imagined!
He wanted to go to Yanzhou, but he didn't want to go to Jizhou. He never thought that it would be Jingzhou!

From Luoyang to Jingzhou, not to mention the current situation in Jingzhou, whether you can survive to Jingzhou is two different things!

He looked at Liu Bian's back, and glanced at Zhong Yao from the corner of his eye, feeling terrified and at a loss as to what to do.

He was still ignorant before, but Zhong Yao saw it clearly!

Now he really wants to ask Zhong Yao for advice, or Zhong Yao can help him explain one or two things.

But seeing Zhong Yao walking with his head buried, turning a blind eye to his gaze, he was annoyed and hated in his heart.

A group of people walked away quietly, Liu Biao finally couldn't bear it any longer, he tried his best to put on a calm look, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm going to Jingzhou, I'm alone and alone, I'm afraid it will hinder your Majesty's plan."

If it was in the past, Liu Biao would never say it so bluntly and weakly, it was all because he was too flustered.

Liu Bian was sweating on his head, but still persisted, because he hadn't come out of the house for a long time. This time, he wanted to bask in the sun, and said casually: "I believe in the ability of the Qing family."

Liu Biao's heart was even heavier, he held his breath secretly, forced himself to calm down, raised his hand, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Bian suddenly accelerated his pace.

He was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to follow, turned a corner, and saw a dozen people standing at the gate of Taichang, yelling towards the inside.

"Xueshi Cai, could it be that your daughter forgot her original oath when she entered the palace?"

"Stupid officials and officials are in power, bad governance is repeated, blocking the way of speech, how can we turn a blind eye to it because we are too common?!"

"Treasons are everywhere, court officials wantonly slaughtered scholars, can Taichang have a word?"

"Taichang is now a high-ranking official with a high salary, an extremely personable minister, and a great general in sight. Could it be that he is colluding with those people and becoming a moth of the country?"

More than a dozen people surrounded the gate of Taicang, and the piercing voices came and went endlessly.

Liu Bian put his hands behind his back and watched quietly, glanced at Liu Biao from the corner of his eye, and said indifferently, "I've heard about this kind of thing more than once, and I've seen it more than once, and Yu Shitai let it go like this?"

Liu Biao raised his hand and said in a cautious tone, "Your Majesty, these are all Tai students. The Censor Xuncheng has dealt with them many times, but, but, he can't deal with them too hard."

Liu Bian snorted coldly, and said, "I also heard that among the Tai students, many people spread rumors, and even, many people went directly to rebellion?"

Liu Biao's heart trembled, if he hadn't been outside, he would have knelt down with a plop.

Sweat dripped from his head, Liu Biao's whole body was stiff, his mouth was open, and he tried to speak several times but failed to speak.

The students in Taixue came from aristocratic families all over the country. Due to various reasons, there were never a few rebellious ones who defected to Yuan Shu and others.

Seeing that the dozen or so people were still making noise, Zhong Yao took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to expel them?"

Liu Bian folded his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "One expulsion, and two more. They are too young, and the people behind them can arouse them out with a little bit of trickery."

Zhong Yao pondered, and said: "No, please come out and explain a few words too often?"

Liu Bian shook his head and said, "If he could come out, he would have come out a long time ago."

He came to Cai Yong because of Liu Xie's marriage, which needs to be presided over by Cai Yong, and there is also the issue of naming the two children.

Suddenly, he looked at Liu Xie, half-closed his eyes, and said, "Your brother, you go."

Liu Xie was startled, and said, "Your Majesty, are you going?"

He was puzzled, what was he going to say?do what?
Liu Bian smiled slightly, and said: "You are about to listen to the government and Yushitai, and this is also a matter of your own. You can handle it according to your own ideas, so there is no need to worry."

Liu Xie's small face was tense, and he raised his hand anxiously and said: "My brother takes the order."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, thinking about his words.

Liu Bian gave Pan Yin a look, Pan Yin understood, and ordered six plainclothes guards to escort Liu Xie there.

Liu Biao was still immersed in the panic of being dispatched to Jingzhou, watching Liu Xie's back with complicated eyes.

Zhong Yao was also a little worried, and said, "Your Majesty, can King Bohai do it?"

If Liu Xie doesn't handle it well, it may cause a big mess!

Liu Bian watched Liu Xie's back and said, "Don't underestimate him. In a few years, he might be of great help to me."

Zhong Yao has always trusted Liu Bian's eye for seeing people, so he couldn't help being curious.

At this moment, Liu Xie has arrived at the gate of Taichang. He is dressed in ordinary clothes, with a poker face and majesty.

When a dozen people saw a little boy suddenly appearing, they couldn't help but froze for a moment, and stopped talking.

"Whose child?"

"Don't know? Do you know each other?"

"Go away, kid, don't delay our affairs!"

"Go away, go away!"

A group of people yelled at Liu Xie, and some even stepped forward to pull him.

when~
A guard stepped forward fiercely, drew out his knife, and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Bohai is here, who dares to be presumptuous!"

More than a dozen people naturally know who the 'King of Bohai' is. Among the many events in the past year, there are two protagonists—one is Liu Bian and the other is Liu Xie.

In terms of 'reputation', to a certain extent, Liu Xie surpassed Liu Bian!
A dozen people peeped at each other, and then looked at Liu Xie, not knowing what to do for a while.

Under many rumors, Liu Xie, who was less than ten years old, was a "victim". He was robbed of the throne, imprisoned in the palace, and his life was at risk at any time.

Liu Xie kept calm as much as possible, glanced at Liu Bian not far away from the corner of the eye, subconsciously put his hands behind his back, and felt that it was inappropriate, standing there, feeling at a loss, the words he had thought in his mind were all forgotten.

"Students, wait and see King Bohai!" Among the dozen or so Tai students, someone realized it and quickly raised his hand in salute.

The others followed suit, and at the same time they were still looking at each other, their eyes intertwined, as if they were plotting something.

Liu Xie nodded with a stiff neck, and said in a flat tone: "Excuse me. What are you doing here?"

One of the students raised his hand and said, "Prince Bohai Rongzhen, I'm waiting for the Tai students, and I'm making a statement."

Liu Xie looked at him and said, "What's the matter?"

The student seemed to have been wronged a lot, and with a look of resentment, he said: "There are ten articles in total. ; Ten... Your Majesty is not benevolent to detain the King of Bohai."

Liu Xie in the front didn't care, but the last one made his face change instantly and it was difficult to keep calm.

He didn't dare to look in Liu Bian's direction, so he quickly tightened his face and said, "What evidence do you have? There are memorials and complaints."

The student raised his hand, his expression became more and more hateful, and he said: "Student waited for more than a dozen letters to be written, but nothing came to fruition. Let the King of Bohai be the master!"

Liu Xie hummed, and said: "According to the rules of the imperial court, all entries and exits of the memorials are registered. Unless your majesty stays, the others must be responded to. The king will listen to the government and Yushitai tomorrow, and leave your name behind, and the king will personally investigate and deal with it tomorrow."

More than a dozen Tai students couldn't help being startled when they heard the words. Liu Xie wants to investigate in person?
What they said to Liu Xie was not to ask him to investigate, but to take the opportunity to expand the situation and force the court to agree to their request.

Besides, you Liu Xie is a person whose life is in danger at any time, why should you investigate and deal with these things?
"Student Meng Huan."

"Student class wing."

"Student Dong Hong."

More than a dozen people reported their names one after another without fear.

Liu Xie wrote it down seriously with a small face, and said: "The king will definitely reply within three days at the latest."

A dozen people originally took the opportunity to gain fame, but when they met Liu Xie by accident, some people's thoughts floated.

Dong Hong was quite bold, raised his hand and said: "Student dare to ask Your Highness, does the late emperor really have a will?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was silence at the gate of Taichang.

Almost everyone was terrified. They looked at Dong Hong holding their breath, and then quietly stared at Liu Xie.

The "legacy" was the basis for the rebellion of Yuan Shu and others. Although the court repeatedly refuted and denied the rumors, too many people believed in their hearts that there was a legacy.

After all, the first emperor liked Liu Xie very much at the beginning, and it was public that he wanted to abolish his sons and establish his children. For this reason, he had a game with the courtiers for a period of time.

In the eyes of many people, if the late emperor lived one more year, the one who would inherit the throne would definitely be Liu Xie!
At this time, Cai Yong, who was hiding behind the gate, heard this extremely sharp and sensitive question. He was so frightened that he didn't care about hiding. He stepped out and yelled at the dozen or so people directly: "As a student of the imperial court, you should devote yourself to learning and serve the country in the future! Now you are making trouble all day long, and you are invited out of the way. Is it really easy to bully you?"

Really!

More than a dozen Tai students thought in unison, but they ignored Cai Yong and kept watching Liu Xie.

The matter of the "Emperor's Last Edict" is so touching!

And no one is more convincing and credible than Liu Xie's words!
In the past, Liu Xie was always in the palace, and he finally got caught when he left the palace, so how could he give up!

More than a dozen people quietly surrounded Liu Xie.It is even more pretentious. Once Liu Xie runs into Taichang, they will rush to stop him.

Although Liu Bian who was not far away couldn't hear him, people kept coming to report, so it was clear.

He put his hands behind his back and smiled at the corner of his mouth, showing no signs of anger.

Liu Biao looked at Liu Bian quietly. He was also suspicious about the 'legacy', but he didn't have any evidence.

Zhong Yao didn't move, just watched and said nothing.

He didn't care whether the matter was true or not. The person in front of him was the eldest son and the eldest son of Zhonggong, and he was the only candidate for Datong's succession.Besides, it's been nearly two years since he ascended the pole, so talking about other things is all nonsense.

Naturally, Zhong Yao is not the only one who thinks this way, and almost no one in the court supports Liu Xie.

Standing on the steps, Liu Xie didn't change his expression when faced with such a serious question, he stretched out his hand to stop Cai Yong, and said, "Cai Qing, don't need to be nervous."

Cai Yong hesitated to speak, how could he not be nervous, if Liu Xie said something that should not be said in public, it would cause chaos in the world!

Liu Xie put his hands behind his back, straightened his chest, straightened his face, and said solemnly: "Father never mentioned the will. In the Jiade Palace where His Majesty took the throne last year, no one has ever mentioned a will. Not only this king, but also the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, including Your Majesty, the Twelve Permanent Attendants at that time, General He Jin, Taifu Yuan Kai, and the current court officials. No one has ever mentioned the word 'will'. This is just a rumor spread by Yuan Shu after his rebellion. This king advises everyone, don’t be confused by rumors of rebellion. Your Majesty is my elder brother, born of the Empress Dowager of the Central Palace, and is the eldest son, succeeding to the throne. This is the ancestral system. This king and my elder brother have always been brothers and friends, and have never had any disagreements. This king listens to the Minister of State and participates in all major and minor affairs of the court, which shows that His Majesty trusts you, and there is no suspicion as rumored.”

After Liu Xie finished speaking, his expression slowly relaxed, and he said earnestly: "You are Tai students, I would like to say one more thing, you must treat it rationally, make a comprehensive analysis, and don't be swayed by words, you must have your own opinions."

Listening to Liu Xie's long speech, more than a dozen Tai students were stunned again and again.

Meng Huan reacted quickly, and while the crowd was still in a daze, he raised his hand and said, "I don't know why you can leave the palace today, Your Highness?"

The others reacted instantly, and Ban Yi said: "Your Highness, did you just pass by?"

Cai Yong clearly sensed the trap in these people's words, and looked at Liu Xie worriedly.

Liu Xie was calm and unhurried, and said: "The reason why this king is leaving the palace this time is for the marriage with the Buqihou's mansion. He just came out of the Buqihou's mansion. The reason for coming too often is because the king's marriage must be presided over by Taichang."

More than a dozen scholars looked at Liu Xie, and saw that his answers were impeccable, and they became more and more unwilling. Dong Hong said: "After His Royal Highness got married, he will take over the feudal domain. Has Your Highness been allowed to go to Bohai Kingdom?"

Cai Yong was standing next to Liu Xie. Seeing that he answered very well, he was secretly happy. Seeing that Dong Hong was not letting go, he scolded him coldly: "Are you really serious about not getting angry? Believe it or not, I will get rid of your student status!"

Tai students are expelled from school, which is tantamount to ruining their careers.

I don't know if it was because of Cai Yong's good old man, or because he was too excited to catch Liu Xie, or because they were confident, they ignored Cai Yong, and raised their hands one after another: "Your Highness, please enlighten me."

Liu Xie once again reached out to stop Cai Yong, and said to Dong Hong and the others with a smile, "Just now, as I said, this king now listens to the Minister of Political Affairs and shares the state affairs for His Majesty. Tomorrow, the King will take up his duties as the Imperial Palace, responsible for supervising the officials and clarifying the administration of officials. In addition to the fact that my grandmother is old, I will ask Your Majesty to leave the country for the time being."

A dozen people looked at each other, and Liu Xie answered without any flaws, which made them have nowhere to play.

But after a while, Meng Huan raised his hand again, and just as he was about to speak, Cai Yong shouted: "Come on, take this man back to Taixue!"

Immediately, he raised his airs, glanced coldly at everyone, and said, "Your Highness has answered enough, don't push yourself too far! I am here to tell you today that anyone who dares to gather a crowd to make trouble and stir up trouble will be severely punished and there will be no forgiveness!"

Immediately, a guard came out from behind Cai Yong and directly detained Meng Huan.

"Too often, I just wrote a letter and said something, what is the crime?"

Cai Yong simply ignored it and waved his hand directly.

What happened in front of Taichang's gate will definitely spread throughout Luoyang City in a short time. If he does nothing, he will be disgraced!

When more than ten people saw Meng Huan being escorted away, they couldn't bear it anymore and shouted one after another.

"Too often, what crime did he commit? Why was he detained?"

"The rules of the imperial court are not to lightly punish students. Is it too common to forget?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me, Meng Huan has no malicious intentions!"

Liu Xie was not as nervous as before, his hands behind his back were covered with cold sweat, he wiped his clothes quietly, and when the noise stopped, he said, "Don't worry, everyone, as long as you keep yourselves safe from now on, everything will be fine."

After finishing speaking, no more words, turned around and walked into Taichang.

"Your Highness, is the Empress Dowager really not under house arrest?" Ban Yi suddenly shouted when Liu Xie stepped into Taichang's gate.

Liu Xie paused, ignored it, and walked in directly.

Cai Yong's anger surged up, no matter how hard it was to contain it, he said in a deep voice: "Come here! Come here! Put all these to Taixue, Ben Taichang has to deal with them in public!"

More than a dozen people didn't see Liu Xie's answer, but instead, Cai Yong was full of anger and shouted, "Taichang, are you trying to bully the Tai students?"

"I'm just talking bluntly, what's the guilt?"

"Too often, you are disorderly power!"

"Yes, I can't wait!"

Cai Yong didn't care about their shouting, he was really angry, and the guards who ordered him too often took all these people away.

It wasn't until these people were out of sight that Cai Yong lost his anger a little, turned his head to look at Tai Chang Nei, and said to himself: "Why does this King of Bohai act so much like His Majesty?"

He didn't dare to delay any longer, and hastily chased after him.

At the corner not far away, Liu Bian subconsciously rubbed his chin while listening to Liu Xie's words relayed by the plainclothes guards, and smiled softly.

Zhong Yao also didn't expect that Liu Xie would be able to say such words, looking at Liu Bian, he seemed to realize something.

Liu Biao didn't care about what Liu Xie said, he only thought about how to restore the Sacred Heart and not go to Jingzhou to die.

Liu Bian smiled for a while, walked back to the palace, and said: "As for the joint inspection of Tingwei Mansion and Yushitai, we must settle it as soon as possible, and show me the detailed report. If necessary, Xingcao will also add it..."

Zhong Yao was taken aback, and said, "Your Majesty is saying that Tingwei Mansion and Yushitai will patrol together?"

Liu Bian was also taken aback, looked back at him and Liu Biao, and said, "Didn't I just say that?"

Pan Yin hurriedly said, "Your Majesty didn't mention it."

Liu Bian snorted, and said with a smile: "That's what I said I forgot. The power of the Yushitai is limited, and it has no right to deal with many things. Therefore, it is necessary for the Yushitai and the Tingwei Mansion to conduct joint inspections. Each supervisory censor must be equipped with at least three judges from the Tingwei Mansion to correct unjust, false and wrong cases, and to determine right and wrong..."

Only then did Zhong Yao understand, and after careful consideration, he said, "Your Majesty, I think you should join the Criminal Cao. The Tingwei Mansion is in charge of judging, and the Yushitai is responsible for the supervisory officials. Criminal cases must be verified by the Criminal Cao."

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Someone has to take the lead in this matter, let Liu Xie handle it."

Zhong Yao stared at Liu Bian's profile, and could not judge Liu Bian's true attitude towards Liu Xie in his heart.

He didn't dare to guess wildly. This kind of thing has always been something that can only be understood but cannot be explained in words.

Liu Bian thought about it carefully, then turned his head and said to Zhong Yao: "Over there in Yizhou, do some testing."

Zhong Yao raised his hand solemnly and said, "I understand."

Liu Bian hummed, without further ado, got into the carriage, and said, "Go to Liucao's mansion to have a look."

Liucao and other new official residences have almost been built, and they began to move out of the palace one after another.

"Yes." Dian Wei responded, riding a horse, escorting Liu Bian's carriage to the official road.

When Liu Bian's carriage went away, Liu Biao raised his hand to Zhong Yao in fear, and said with a serious face, "Zhong Tingwei, I don't know if I can teach you a thing or two!?"

Zhong Yao didn't understand what he meant, and shook his head in his heart. This Zhongcheng, who is used to talking loudly, can be said to be useless in Yushitai.

In addition, I do small tricks from time to time, and I also want to be a Yanzhou animal husbandry.

What Your Majesty wants is to be a competent official and be brave enough to do things. You are so perfunctory and faltering in your mind, how can you sit in such an important position as Yushi Zhongcheng forever?

Zhong Yao pondered for a while, and said: "Zhongcheng, come and think about it, why not go from Yingchuan to Runan and borrow troops from General Fenwu."

Liu Biao didn't seem to hear it, so he raised his hand and said, "Zhong Tingwei, I don't know, is there any way to change His Majesty's mind?"

Zhong Yao sighed inwardly, this person is dizzy, do we know each other well?Ask me this directly?

He didn't want to pay attention to Liu Biao, but he still thought about it on the surface: "Zhongcheng should still have some time, so we might as well make more handovers with Bu Qihou."

Liu Biao frowned when he heard the words, but after a moment, he said with ecstasy: "Thank you Zhong Tingwei, I don't thank you for your kindness, Zhong will remember it in my heart!"

Zhong Yao paused, and suddenly realized that Liu Biao had misunderstood his intentions, and he wanted to speak quickly, but saw him leave in a hurry, and even started to trot.

Zhong Yao frowned, looked at Liu Biao's back, and said to himself, "I hope he knows how to measure and don't cause any trouble."

Liu Bian gave a new mission, Zhong Yao ignored Liu Biao and returned to Tingwei's Mansion.

But at this moment, Liu Xie's words in front of Taichang's gate quickly spread to every corner of Luoyang City with Taichang as the center.

The first thing to know is nothing more than officialdom.

Inside the Shangshutai.

Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Xun You, and Xun Yu were discussing matters, listening to the little official's report, they couldn't help but have different colors.

With a big belly, Yang Biao said with a smile on his face, "Wang Bohai understands righteousness and understands the overall situation, which is really admirable."

Wang Yun's expression was indifferent, and he suspected that these words were taught by Liu Bian.

Xun You and Xun Yu didn't have much emotion, they were calm as usual.

When Yang Biao's laughter fell, Xun You said: "The King of Bohai wants to listen to the government and Yushitai, can the Prime Minister know first?"

Only then did Yang Biao come to his senses, shaking his head and saying, "I don't know."

Xun You didn't doubt it, and nodded thoughtfully.

If Liu Xie listened to the government and Yushitai, it showed that there was some kind of arrangement in the palace.

'What will be the arrangement? Xun You thought to himself.

At this time, Xun Yu suddenly said: "For the wedding of the King of Bohai, Hu Cao will give up to 3000 million yuan at most."

Yang Biao opened his small eyes and said, "How much? 3000 million?"

For 3000 million yuan, let alone a dignified prince, even a noble family with a little reputation would not be so shabby!
Wang Yun looked at Xun Yu, with an indifferent face and sharp eyes, and said, "I heard that not long ago, Taicang bought [-] shi of grain and [-] yuan. Should Xun Shangshu explain it?"

Xun Yu was a little surprised that Wang Yun knew about it, and said without moving his face, "Those have already been arranged."

Wang Yun stared at him and said, "What I'm asking is, where did the money come from?"

Fifty million yuan and one hundred thousand shi of grain, this is not a small number, enough to exceed the taxation of the court for a year!
Yang Biao reacted suddenly, staring at Xun Yu with blinking eyes.

Xun Yu was only 27 or [-] years old, but he looked about [-] years old. He had no mood swings. He looked at Wang Yun and said, "What does the prince mean?"

Wang Yun snorted coldly, and said: "I'm asking you, is this money and food obtained by Cao Cao's looting of the family?!"

Xun You breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. It turned out that Wang Yun didn't know the inside story, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao's looting is nothing. This is the court's consensus. In addition, the money and food he raised are not enough for himself, so how could he turn it over to the court? Besides, it is completely impossible to escort money and food from Beihai to Luoyang in terms of time."

Wang Yun frowned, not because he believed Xun You's words, but because Xun You's last few words could not be refuted—from the time point of view, the money and food that Cao Cao looted could not be delivered to Luoyang.

But he still stared suspiciously at Xun Yu, his uncle and nephew Xun You, and he realized more and more that they were hiding something from him, and he didn't know what they were planning! ?

Seeing this, Yang Biao said, "Then, where did the money come from?"

Xun You and Xun Yu looked at each other and were thinking of words when Xu Yan who was outside the door hurried over and said, "Prime Minister, the Empress Dowager is here to invite you."

Yang Biao's fat face shook, he was a little dazed, and said: "You mean, the Empress Dowager?"

"Yes." Xu Yan said.

Yang Biao looked at the three people in front of him, and said sullenly, "The Empress Dowager?"

Empress Dowager refers to Empress Dowager Dong.

Since Liu Xie failed to fight for the throne, Empress Dowager Dong has been under house arrest by Liu Bian and has never been free.

This is the first time she has publicly summoned courtiers, and she is still the prime minister!
Wang Yun realized something, and said lightly: "The marriage of King Bohai."

Yang Biao felt that it was more than that, he looked at Xu Yan and said, "Is there anything else?"

Xu Yan hurriedly said: "Return to the Prime Minister, His Majesty's will. From tomorrow, the King of Bohai will listen to the government and the censor, and he will be promoted to the censor Zhongcheng. After the king of Bohai gets married, he will not stay in the country for the time being, and will open the mansion outside the palace."

Yang Biao's heart was like a mirror, and he said majesticly: "Understood."

Wang Yun was bitter about Liu Xie's desire to 'open a mansion and build teeth', his eyes were locked tightly, and his expression was fixed.

Xun You and Xun Yu didn't speak. His Majesty in the palace has long been dissatisfied with the slow progress of Yushitai's reform.

Liu Biao couldn't understand Shangxin, so it was inevitable that he would be dismissed.

"I'm going to see the Empress Dowager." Yang Biao straightened his clothes, got up and left.

Wang Yun looked at Xun Yu, his uncle and nephew coldly, and got up after him.

Yang Biao hurriedly walked, walking fast.

Wang Yun deliberately slowed down a bit, and when Yang Biao left, he suddenly said to the two of them: "As for the matter of 'reducing redundant officials', I intend to continue to advance next year. What do Li Cao think?"

Xun You looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, do you mean outside Beijing?"

Last year, the cutting of redundant officials was mainly aimed at Luoyang City, and Liu Bian outside Beijing was worried that there would be a big riot, so he suppressed Wang Yun's move.

Wang Yundao: "That's right. I want to start with Sili, Bingzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Yuzhou."

Xun You stared at Wang Yun, his expression pondering.He didn't know what Wang Yun was thinking. Last year, Wang Yun cut redundant officials and deliberately targeted the people he recommended. This time, he probably won't let them go!
Perhaps, it is for the so-called 'Yingchuan Party'!
Xun Yu interrupted suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Li Ru, the prefect of Runan, has been getting very close to Dong Zhuo recently."

Wang Yun turned to him indifferently, and said flatly: "He was under my order to monitor Dong Zhuo."

Xun Yu looked as usual, and said: "Your Majesty, Li Taishou's actions are detrimental to his reputation, and the government and the public are quite critical."

Seeing that Wang Yun was going to get angry, Xun You quickly said: "My lord, Runan is in a special position, with rebellious and intertwined, very complicated. Prefect Li has to keep his body upright, so as to be reassuring."

Wang Yun looked at the uncles and nephews, his heart was filled with anger, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do with them, so he snorted coldly, shook his hands and left.

Xun You looked at Wang Yun's back, sighed softly, and said, "This prince is not incompetent, but also has a unique vision, but... is always so out of date."

"Impure thoughts, high eyesight and low hands." Xun Yu said.

Xun You nodded, Wang Yun had a strange aloofness, he didn't care about anyone, and he always wanted to do big things but was always powerless.

Shou'an Palace.

Empress Dowager Dong pulled Liu Xie with a nervous expression, and said, "Did he teach you to say those words?"

Liu Xie sat across from Queen Mother Dong, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, grandma, it's not Brother Huang. What my grandson said is the truth, I don't need Brother Huang to teach me."

Empress Dowager Dong looked suspiciously, those words were obviously like Liu Bian's style, it was not because Liu Bian forced Liu Xie to be surprised!
She felt uneasy, and said: "It's not expected, is it really seriously ill?"

In Empress Dowager Dong's mind, Liu Xie married Bu Qihou, and Princess Yang'an was among them, adding an extra insurance, so that Liu Bian did not dare to murder Liu Xie at will.

If unexpectedly, he is really seriously ill and the marriage is postponed, Liu Xie will return to the difficult situation of 'dying at any time'!

Liu Xie shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Bu Qihou."

Empress Dowager Dong was stunned, and said: "Didn't you go with him? You were left outside?"

Liu Xie pursed his lips, hesitated and said: "It's not a good thing, most likely it's just pretending to be sick."

Empress Dowager Dong frowned immediately, then snorted coldly, and said, "He dare not marry you!"

Liu Xie naturally knew that who would dare to have anything to do with him now?It is not surprising that Bu Qihou first tried to regret the marriage, but now pretends to be sick and procrastinates.

Empress Dowager Dong was very dissatisfied with Fu Wan and Liu Hua, but she suppressed her anger and said, "Does he mean that the wedding is still the same?"

Liu Xie said: "Brother Huang has already decreed that it is too common, so keep it simple and get married as soon as possible."

Empress Dowager Dong felt uneasy, frowned and had a headache, but there was nothing she could do, and she felt sad. If she had seized the throne back then, she would not be in such embarrassment today!
"Your Majesty, the prime minister is here." A maid came to the door and said.

Empress Dowager Dong restrained her emotions, sat upright, her gaze was cold and sharp, and said, "Let him in."

Liu Xie also simply straightened his clothes and sat down sullenly.

The maidservant responded, then withdrew.

Immediately, Yang Biao had a big belly and a majestic look on his fat face. He strode in and saw the Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie. He saluted and said, "My subject Yang Biao, I have seen the Empress Dowager and the King of Bohai."

Empress Dowager Dong squinted at him, and said indifferently: "Prime Minister, how is the court's preparations for King Bohai's wedding?"

Yang Biao withdrew his hand and said, "Go back to the Empress Dowager, Shangshutai has prepared 3000 million yuan, and it will be ready within ten days."

Empress Dowager Dong turned her head sharply, stared at him and said, "How much did you say? Ten days?"

Yang Biao's chubby face trembled, and he pretended to be hesitant and said: "Madam, the treasury is empty, 3000 million is the most."

Empress Dowager Dong looked gloomy, and said: "I remember, you spent 8000 million on banquets last year, and the majestic Bohai King's wedding was only 3000 million?"

Cold sweat broke out on Yang Biao's head, and he wiped his forehead in a daze.

Empress Dowager Dong sneered, and said: "I also know that you can't make the decision, and I won't make it difficult for you, but you must make the wedding decent, and you must not be stingy!"

"The minister leads Yizhi!" Yang Biao responded quickly, lowering his head, his small eyes blinking non-stop.

Liu Xie spent a lot of time with Yang Biao at Shangshutai, and it was not obvious that Yang Biao was perfunctory, but kept silent.

"Go." Empress Dowager Dong waved impatiently.

Yang Biao hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Resign!"

Seeing Yang Biao leaving impatiently, Empress Dowager Dong became more and more angry as she thought about it, she got up and said, "I'll talk to him!"

Liu Xie was taken aback, got up and grabbed Empress Dowager Dong, and said, "Grandmother, the treasury is indeed empty. If it is simpler, it can be regarded as... not an exaggeration."

Empress Dowager Dong snorted and said, "You don't understand! You stay here!"

"Hey, what's wrong with the queen mother, she is so angry?"

Before Empress Dowager Dong put on her shoes, a chuckle of yin and yang came in.

The expressions of Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie all changed, and they all looked at the door in unison.

Empress Dowager He walked in with a smile on her face, surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs.

Empress Dowager Dong's complexion was not good-looking, her heart was uneasy, and her eyes were alert.

Liu Xie also sullenly, frowning darkly.

This mother and son are not good people!

Compared to Liu Bian, they were actually more afraid of this Empress Dowager He.

Then Liu Bian acted 'sinister', killing without blood, but often he would not kill directly.But this Empress Dowager He is different, she is vicious and never hesitates to kill someone!

Empress Dowager He looked at the expressions of the two, raised her chin, and said with a smile: "Mother, what's the matter? If outsiders see it, they will think that my daughter-in-law has done something to you..."

Empress Dowager Dong stared at Empress Dowager He coldly, and said: "Xie'er's wedding is only 3000 million, is it your idea?"

Empress Dowager He glanced at Liu Xie, and said with disdain: "Mother, you are underestimating the concubine. I came this time to announce the good news to my mother."

Empress Dowager Dong didn't believe it at all, and kept her eyes cold.

Empress Dowager He flicked her sleeves and said, "I plan to pay 5000 million yuan from Changle Palace for Liu Xie's wedding."

Empress Dowager Dong was startled and shouted, "What do you want to do?"

Empress Dowager He saw that Empress Dowager Dong was so nervous, she suddenly stepped forward and reached out to grab Empress Dowager Dong's hand.

Where did Queen Mother Dong let her get what she wanted, she protected Liu Xie and retreated, with a vigilant look on her face.

Empress Dowager He was not annoyed, she withdrew her hand, and said loudly: "Queen Mother, we are a family, and we will pass when it is over. From now on, our family will live in harmony. As Bian'er said, brothers and friends are respectful, and we are in harmony."

Empress Dowager Dong was cold all over, and she hid Liu Xie behind her back even more.

In her eyes, the Empress Dowager He at this moment is a poisonous snake with its mouth wide open!

Liu Xie was equally frightened by the abnormal behavior of Queen Mother He.

'Could it be that Empress Dowager He couldn't help it after all, and was going to do something to me? '

Seeing their appearance, Empress Dowager He smiled triumphantly, turned around and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you, anyway, Qian Bengong is out."

Before she finished speaking, she led a large group of people and walked away leisurely.

Empress Dowager Dong didn't take her eyes off Empress Dowager He until she couldn't hear her footsteps, then she breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.

"Grandma, grandma..." Liu Xie yelled anxiously as he supported her with all his might.

Empress Dowager Dong took a big breath, and suddenly woke up, pulled Liu Xie and said, "Hurry up, go to Jingfu Hall, and beg him, only he can save you! Go!"

On the contrary, Liu Xie was more calm, looking at Empress Dowager Dong and said: "Grandmother, the emperor wants me to die, so he won't take me out of the palace to lie down. The queen came here, and she must not hide it from His Majesty. He doesn't want me to die, so I can't die."

Empress Dowager Dong was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "What you said is right. But, why is that temptress?"

Liu Xie didn't understand either, Empress Dowager He was too abnormal today.

"The villain has met the Empress Dowager, the King of Bohai." As soon as the Empress Dowager Dong finished speaking, Pan Yin appeared not far from the two of them.

Empress Dowager Dong was not surprised that Shou'an Hall was 'undefended', but she just stared at Pan Yin vigilantly again.

Pan Yin didn't wait for the "free ceremony", raised his hand, and said to himself: "The empress dowager, your majesty said that the central government will pay [-] million yuan to arrange a wedding for the king of Bohai. There are often many matters that need to be consulted by the empress dowager. Please don't refuse to see the empress dowager."

Empress Dowager Dong couldn't react, so Liu Bian offered [-] million for Liu Xie's wedding?

The temptress paid 5000 million before!
Why did this vicious mother and son suddenly change their sex?

Liu Xie helped Empress Dowager Dong sit down, and said to Pan Yin, "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"

Pan Yin bowed and said: "No more. By the way, Princess Yang'an has entered the palace and is discussing the Six Rites with Tai Chang."

Although Empress Dowager Dong didn't understand how the vicious mother and son changed their sex, she relaxed a bit and said, "I want to see Mrs. Cai."

As the date of Cai Wenji's birth approaches, Cai Yong's status is also rising, and it is rumored that the chancellor is just around the corner.

Today is different!
"The villain is going to pass on the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager." Pan Yin responded, and then withdrew.

After he left, Liu Xie smiled with Queen Mother Dong: "Grandmother, don't worry too much, Brother Huang has always kept his promises, and will not contradict what he says."

Empress Dowager Dong nodded stiffly, and said, "At least it's not harming you."

Liu Xie didn't want Empress Dowager Dong to think too much, and said, "Grandmother, if grandson opens a mansion and builds teeth, can grandma enter the mansion with grandson?"

Empress Dowager Dong was taken aback, and quickly said, "He really agrees with you moving out of the palace?"

"Tai Chang said it himself, it should be true." Liu Xie said.

Empress Dowager Dong looked suspicious, and muttered to herself: "He really doesn't care about you competing for the throne with him, brothers and sisters, do you want to use you?"

At this time, Empress Dowager He had already left Shou'an Hall, returned to Changle Palace, glanced at the 'young woman' beside her, and said expressionlessly: "He Xian is going to enter the palace later, does he recognize you?"

The 'young woman' is Mrs. Zhao, He Jin's concubine, who was brought into the palace by Empress Dowager He and placed beside her.

Mrs. Zhao bowed her head and said very respectfully: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't recognize her. The master has many concubines."

Empress Dowager He said lightly: "Your son, I will give him to raise, you don't have to worry."

Zhao's heart panicked, but she still said, "Thank you, Madam."

Just as Empress Dowager He was about to speak, she saw Cai Yong and Liu Hua from a distance, talking while walking, so enthusiastic that she couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Miss."

A maid who came from the direction of Yongle Palace came to Empress Dowager He, and after saluting, she hesitated to speak.

Empress Dowager He frowned and said, "What is it?"

The maid hesitated for a while, and said: "Go back to your mother, the chariot general has entered the capital, and sent someone to ask to see him, saying that it is..."

When the Queen Mother heard that it was He Miao who asked to see her, she couldn't help feeling annoyed, and said, "What are you talking about, tell me!"

The maidservant trembled, and said quickly: "I said that I want to go to Jizhou to be an official, please help me."

"Jizhou?"

Empress Dowager He frowned, and said coldly: "What is he going to Jizhou to do? Let him be honest!"
