Han family achievements

Chapter 193

Wang Yun left, Liu Xie came.

After getting married, Liu Xie seemed to have matured a bit. Sitting opposite Liu Bian, he was more calm than his usual sullen face.

Liu Bian held the teapot, poured him tea, and said, "Yang Biao and Wang Yun fought fiercely, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Liu Xie's small face unconsciously tightened up again. He quietly sized up Liu Bian and said, "Your brother thinks that the prime minister's virtue is looking at the sea, and the prince is the most diligent in politics, but there are many sages in my court, and the court must be them. It's just that temporary."

Liu Bian took a sip of herbal tea and said with a smile, "You can see this, these days at Shangshutai are not in vain."

Liu Xie bowed his body. He had been at Shangshutai for more than a year, watching with cold eyes, and he saw clearly what was going on in the court.

Yang Biao was either afraid of the "disaster of the party", or it may be the massacres before and after Liu Bian succeeded to the throne. He was extremely alienated from "power", and he clearly wanted to be a prime minister of "doing nothing".

Wang Yun is just the opposite. It is not the prime minister who is more like the prime minister. He wants to do great things, but he is short-sighted and narrow-minded.

And Xun You was promoted by He Jin last year to be the servant of the Huangmen, and he was already a high position in the official Cao Shangshu, let alone the official Cao who surpassed Jiuqing after the reform.

As for Xun Yu, he was full of efforts and calculations. He had been an official for less than a year. Last year, he had been working on the palace guard order for a few months before encountering the death of Emperor Ling. Yuan Shao led his troops into the palace and returned to Yingchuan after being injured.

Then he took refuge in Jizhou with his clan, and it will only be a few months before he returns to the court this year.

Such a fledgling kid is already prominent in the positions of Taicang Ling and Hu Cao Shangshu, and has attracted countless criticisms. If he wants to go further, it will only do harm and not help.

As for the others, given the suspicious personality of this imperial brother, he may not be willing to use them.

"Tell me, what do you think about state affairs?" Liu Bian looked at Liu Xie with a serious expression on his face.

Liu Xie couldn't figure out Liu Bian's reason for calling him here, thinking about the sentence Fushou said to him last night, "Your Majesty may not intend to harm", the corners of his face tightened again, and he didn't dare to lift his head, saying: "My lord My younger brother thinks that there are many shortcomings in the government, and the disaster needs to be remedied, so the court cannot cause chaos."

Liu Bian nodded lightly, and said: "The government and the public say that I am foolish to use Dong Zhuo and release Yuan Shao, what do you think?"

Regarding Dong Zhuo, the attitudes of the ruling and opposition parties are almost the same—kill him soon.

As for Yuan Shao, the attitude is a little complicated. Some people think that a pardon is enough, and it should not be revived, let alone used to lead the army.And some people, or because of the killing of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers last year, harbored resentment and strongly demanded to be held accountable.There are also some people whose attitudes are unclear and unpredictable.

Regarding Liu Bian's arbitrary use of these two people, the ruling and opposition parties have continued to criticize them. Up to now, various remonstrances have been made, and impeachment has never stopped, and rumors and rumors in the market are endless.

Liu Xie pretended to think seriously for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, illuminated by the holy light, is far-sighted and far-sighted, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

Liu Bian couldn't help laughing, looked at him, and said, "When did you learn to flatter?"

Liu Xie bowed and said, "It's all from the bottom of my heart."

Liu Bian saw that the sun was getting higher and hotter, so he took another sip of herbal tea and said with a smile, "Let's learn less."

Liu Xie didn't speak, and he was still guessing Liu Bian's intention to call him over early in the morning.

Liu Bian didn't let him wait too long, and said: "You are my only younger brother, you listen to the government and have the power to supervise all officials. There are some things that I don't say well, and some things I don't do well. You have to do it for me. .”

Liu Xie was stunned, pondering the meaning of Liu Bian's words, no matter how he thought about it, he felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help but raise his head with puzzled eyes.

Liu Bian looked at him, smiled and handed the teacup to his hand, saying: "You should be scolded, and you should be taught a lesson. Don't save face for them."

Liu Xie understood, and became flustered, his face moved unnaturally, he didn't know whether it was nervous or hot, there was a trace of sweat on his head, and said: "Your Majesty, my brother, my brother..."

"Have a sip of tea first." Liu Bian said.

Liu Xie didn't know what to say, so he quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After taking a sip of herbal tea, it was quite refreshing, and his thoughts cleared up a little. Liu Xie raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, my brother, I'm worried about ruining your Majesty's affairs."

Liu Bian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, I know what you think. What I said is from the heart and the truth. We are brothers, and this kind of fate is second only to parents. It can be compared. Live with peace of mind, use things boldly, don’t always be in fear, and save those worries.”

Liu Xie looked at Liu Bian, saw that his face was open and free, without any trace of hypocrisy, his heart was shaken abnormally, and he hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground and said, "My brother, please accept the decree, thank you!"

Liu Bian stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said: "In a few days, you can live in the palace, and I will send you there in person. I will give you the privilege of entering the palace at any time without notification. Grandma is getting old, so you have to take good care of her. Don't touch some messy people, lest they gossip."

Liu Xie fell to the ground again, his small face tensed, and he said in a deep voice, "Your brother accepts the decree to thank you!"

Pan Yin stood not far away, seeing Liu Xie's body trembling with excitement, silently retracted his gaze, and shook his head secretly in his heart.

This Highness, although a young man with precocious intelligence, is still young after all.

'Hopefully he knows how to measure. ' Pan Yin said silently.Only if you have a good sense of proportion, what your majesty says is the truth.

Liu Bian smiled and said: "Okay, get up. Ask your father-in-law for help, and ask him to let go of his hands and feet. In my Han Dynasty, the first fault was the official administration, and the first responsibility was Yushitai. You want to Take up the heavy responsibility of clarifying the administration of officials."

Liu Xie sat up straight and said with a serious face, "My brother understands."

Liu Bian nodded, poured tea for him, took a sip himself, and said, "About the 'reduction of redundant officials' this time, although Wang Yun is the main one, Yushitai has to do things. You and Fu Wan Be decisive. Luoyang City is under my nose, and when we get to the place, those aristocratic families are intertwined and have a complicated network of relationships. They will definitely meet a lot of resistance, and Wang Yun will also be afraid. At this time, you Yushitai will take Show courage. Don't worry, let alone be afraid, I will be your backer."

Liu Xie took a deep breath, raised his hand and said, "Your younger brother accepts the order!"

Pan Yin suddenly came over quietly and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Lady Cai is a little uncomfortable."

Liu Bian's face changed slightly, he stood up abruptly and said, "What's going on?"

Pan Yin said: "The doctor has passed away, I don't know for now."

Liu Bian couldn't care about anything else, he walked quickly and said, "Young Brother, you go first."

Liu Xie nodded repeatedly, watching Liu Bian's hurried back.

"The due date is still a month away, right?"

Liu Bian walked quickly, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Nowadays, it is extremely dangerous for a woman to become pregnant and give birth to a child. If she is not careful, she will die twice.

Pan Yin followed Liu Bian closely, and said, "Yes, the midwife and others are all in the palace, and all preparations are complete, Your Majesty, don't worry."

Liu Bian frowned, walked faster, and went straight to Yongning Hall.

Cai Wenji was seven months pregnant and entered the palace at the request of Empress Dowager He and lived in Yongning Hall.

When they arrived at Yongning Palace, Empress Dowager He was already there with a group of people.

Liu Bian strode over, faintly heard the screams in the room, his expression became more anxious, he almost ran over, and said, "Queen, what's the matter?"

Empress Dowager He frowned, her complexion was not very good, she said: "The maid said that she just bent over, and she suddenly suffered from unbearable abdominal pain, most likely she is about to give birth."

Liu Bian listened, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously walked towards the door.

Empress Dowager He grabbed him and said concisely: "Wait!"

Liu Bian looked at her, feeling restless, but he could only hold back, not to add to the chaos.

The other servants and court ladies all stared at the door without daring to breathe.

Inside, Cai Wenji's screams kept increasing, heart-piercing and shocking.

Liu Bian stood not far from the door. Although he had a parasol, his face was still covered with sweat, and he didn't know when he was soaked.

Empress Dowager He was by his side, without saying a word, she just frowned and knit her hands together.

This is her grandson, and she is equally anxious.

Not long after, Empress Dowager Dong, Tang Ji, and even Cai Yong arrived and stood behind Liu Bian. No one dared to speak, and they all stared at the door.

Cai Wenji's screams fluctuated from time to time, making everyone outside tremble with fear.

And occasionally the door opened, and the midwife came out with bloody water and ordered someone to fetch hot water.

Liu Bian tried to rush in a few times, but was stopped, unable to go in.I could only pace back and forth anxiously, full of apprehension, and didn't bother to wipe off the sweat on my face.

Cai Yong looked up at the sun, his face stiffened, and he was also worried when he heard his daughter's screams.

After an unknown amount of time, Cai Wenji's screams stopped abruptly.

Everyone outside the door suddenly changed their expressions and froze in place.

Liu Bian reacted the fastest, and rushed over without caring about anything else.

Before Liu Bian reached the door, a child's cry suddenly sounded in the room.

Liu Bian opened his eyes, pushed the door open and went in, and a midwife came over, and said eagerly, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are a prince!"

Liu Bian looked at the wrinkled and blood-covered child, his heart was extremely excited, and he wanted to reach out to hug him, but he walked inside again and said, "How is Wen Ji?"

Before he could reach the bed, the midwife stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Cai is fine, don't go in, it's unlucky..."

How could Liu Bian believe this? When he came to the bed, he saw that the mattress was completely soaked in blood, and when he walked over, there was blood under his feet.

Cai Wenji lay there, her hair was drenched, her face was as pale as paper, motionless.

Liu Bian's heart skipped a beat, his whole body was cold.

"His Majesty,"

Suddenly, Cai Wenji slowly opened her eyes, tilted her head to look at him, and called out weakly.

Liu Bian was lifted from hell to heaven in an instant, rubbed his face, sat next to her with a smile, stretched out his hand to straighten the messy hair on her face, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."

Cai Wenji was extremely weak, forced a smile, and then slowly closed her eyes.

The midwife stood behind Liu Bian and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, your majesty is fine. She will recover after a few days of rest."

Liu Bian nodded again and again, worried that he didn't want to leave and was afraid that Cai Wenji would worry about sleeping well, so after waiting for a while, he got up and left quietly.

I saw that his son had been washed and was sleeping peacefully in the swaddle.

Looking at him, Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled unconsciously on his face.
