Han family achievements

Chapter 216 Eight Hundred Eyes from Top to Bottom

Wang Yun would not give Empress Dowager He a chance to hesitate. He raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, setting up a crown prince is necessary for the sake of the country, your majesty, and your mother. I ask you to think twice."

Empress Dowager He's complexion changed, she suddenly came to her senses, looked at Wang Yun coldly, said in a cold tone, "You are in such a hurry to establish a crown prince, why don't you go to His Majesty's place, what are you doing here?"

Wang Yun raised his hand and said: "Going back to the empress and setting up the crown prince is a very important matter. It is not only a matter of the royal family, but also a matter of heaven. In addition to reporting to the empress, there must be a suitable person to recommend it."

Empress Dowager He walked around a little bit, wondering: "Recommended by the right person? Can't you? And the prime minister Yang Biao."

Wang Yun put down his hand, shook his head solemnly, and said: "My lady, although the matter of Liu Xie has passed, it is still the source of rebellion. Therefore, we must be cautious in recommending the prince this time, and give all the subjects of the Han family a fair explanation. .”

Seeing Wang Yun mentioning Liu Xie, and all the subjects of the Han family, Queen Mother He couldn't help sitting upright, and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

A gleam flashed in Wang Yun's eyes, and he said, "Young lady, the prince, should be recommended by the king of Bohai."

Empress Dowager He was startled, stood up quickly, walked up to Wang Yun, stared at him with cold eyes, and said in a piercing voice, "You said, Liu Xie came to recommend? Wang Yun, you should know, my palace I hate you. If you can't explain why today, He Jin will be your fate!"

Wang Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Queen Mother He in surprise.

What happened to He Jin?
He Jin's death is still a mystery to those outside the palace, and almost no one believes that He Jin committed suicide.

But listening to Empress Dowager He's words, it seemed that He Jin's death had something to do with her?

However, Wang Yun just lost his mind for a moment, and quickly raised his hand and said: "My lady, the recommendation of the King of Bohai has no other intentions. Firstly, this move is to clarify that the King of Bohai has no ambitions; secondly, it is also to block the mouth of the world. The third is to fight against the rebels. The King of Bohai will not have any relationship with the future Crown Prince, and everything in the palace will be decided by the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty."

Empress Dowager He was restless, staring at Wang Yun, unable to make a judgment, took a deep breath, said with a gloomy face, "This matter must be carefully considered by the Palace."

Wang Yun looked at Empress Dowager He, and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Tang Mao is joining forces to recommend the Second Highness as the crown prince."

"Bold!"

Empress Dowager He was angry, her expression was constantly changing, she paced back and forth, sneered again and again, and said, "Prince, is it true that whoever they say belongs to whoever they say, do they still have my palace and Your Majesty in their eyes!?"

Wang Yun paid attention to Empress Dowager He's angry face, and bowed his head calmly.

After a while, Empress Dowager He suppressed her anger, turned to Wang Yun, and said in a cold voice: "Okay. Let Liu Shao be appointed, and you can make arrangements. When the time comes, your majesty will go back and tell me. You have to do it for me. If Let me know that you have other thoughts, and His Majesty can't keep you!"

Wang Yun was determined in his heart, raised his hand and said: "Minister, accept the imperial edict of the empress dowager!"

Just as Empress Dowager He was about to speak, Mrs. Zhao quietly appeared at the door and said, "I'm telling you, Mrs. Yin has brought He Yan into the palace."

Empress Dowager He's expression slowly relaxed, she pressed her painful temples with both hands, and said, "Go to Yongning Palace and bring Cai Yan and Liu Shao here."

"Yes." Mrs. Zhao responded and retreated quietly.

Seeing this, Wang Yun thought about it and said: "My lady, the reason why I recommend His Highness is also because His Highness is called 'Shao', Shao, which means succession. It is self-evident that His Majesty chose this name."

Empress Dowager He naturally knew about it, but she always doubted Wang Yun's motives.

Forced to calm down, Mrs. He remained expressionless and said calmly, "You do this. If you do well, the Palace will reward you. If you don't do well, you will punish the three clans."

Wang Yun didn't change his face, he raised his hand and said: "I accept the decree!"

Nothing can be seen on the surface, but I am very excited in my heart.

Once he supports Liu Shao as the crown prince, whether it is the benefits on the surface or the feedback in the dark, it will be huge!
It won't be long before he can stabilize Yang Biao and sit on the throne of prime minister!

At that time, all eunuchs and Yuan Shu will be destroyed with his backhand!

……

"The queen mother wants to see the sheep?" Liu Bian turned to look at Zhao Shi.

Mrs. Zhao has been in the palace for a long time, and she is no longer as scared as before. Facing Liu Bian, she also hid her nervousness in her heart, and said softly, "Yes. Mrs. Yin brought He Yan into the palace."

Liu Bian looked at Liu Shao. The little guy was riding on the small wooden horse he assembled himself, staggering. Seeing Liu Bian looking over, he also opened his eyes wide and blinked, his face remained motionless.

Liu Bian looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "Bring He Yan here, Mrs. Yin can talk to the queen with my mother."

Mrs. Zhao was startled, but did not dare to refute, and saluted, "Yes, this servant will leave."

Liu Bian looked at Liu Shao, smiled and said, "Come on, call me Dad."

The little guy blinked, shook the little wooden horse vigorously, wobbled, completely ignoring Liu Bian.

Liu Bian sighed, sat cross-legged on the soft couch, and picked up the notebook beside him.

This is the memorabilia of Huangfu Jianshou, the prefect of Donglai. The memorandum describes the situation of Donglai County and Qingzhou in detail, and the focus is on Cao Cao.

It is said that Cao Cao was in Donglai, and the Beihai Kingdom vigorously farmed the land and resettled refugees, and there were countless people alive.At the same time, it is said that Cao Cao "suppressed the gentry, killed the gentry, and supported [-] soldiers, which seems to be disobedience".

Liu Bian frowned slightly, and looked at the memorial with sharp eyes.

"Is there a playbook for Cao Cao?" Liu Bian glanced at Pan Yin who was not far away.

Pan Yin took a step forward, recalled carefully, and said, "There is only one five days ago, and it was ordered to enter Jizhou."

Liu Bian nodded, thinking about it in his heart.

If you say that Cao Cao's heart is for the big man, that's fine, but if you say that he has no other thoughts, no one will believe it.

Even Huangfu Song was persuaded to stand on his own feet. There are countless people in the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty who stand on their own. Cao Cao, will he really embrace his own self-respect and wait for the price?
Liu Bian was a little uncertain, looked at Huangfu Jianshou's memorial, and pondered.

"Your Majesty, He Yan has arrived." Suddenly, outside the palace gate, a little yellow door said.

Liu Bian looked over and saw a little guy carved in pink and jade, about one year old. Compared with Liu Shao's big eyes, He Yan was a little sleepy and couldn't open his eyes.

"Come on, come here." Liu Bian beckoned.

He Yan looked back again, but he didn't have any fear. Xiaobu walked up to Liu Bian in a crooked manner, and stared at Liu Bian with his small face up.

Liu Bian looked at him, suddenly startled, and said: "Wait, wait, I and your father are cousins, um, I am your cousin, called cousin."

He Yan was quiet for a while, then said in a childish voice, "Cousin."

Liu Bian immediately smiled, bent down and hugged him onto the soft couch, and said, "Come on, play with Liu Shao for a while, his nickname is Yang'er."

He Yan is very well-behaved, standing next to the little wooden horse, looking at Liu Shao who is about the same age.

Liu Shao has been staring at He Yan since he appeared, and now the two little guys look at each other, one can't speak well, the other can't speak, so they just look at each other.

Seeing this, Liu Bian smiled, ignored them, and looked at the playbook in his hand again.

Pan Yin waited for a while before stepping forward and said, "Your Majesty, the prince has been in Yongle Palace for almost half an hour."

Liu Bian was startled, and said, "Haven't you come out yet?"

Pan Yin said: "Yes."

Liu Bian half-closed his eyes, couldn't help but smiled and said, "It's interesting. Just keep an eye on it and see what our prince is going to do."

"Yes." Pan Yin replied cautiously.

As the court continued to step up its efforts to clarify the administration of officials, various contradictions that the court had concealed gradually broke out. It seemed harmonious, but in fact, the dark tide was raging and tense.

Without waiting for Pan Yin to turn around, Liu Bian said again: "The fault Yang Xiu did in Cao Cao's place was praised in Cao Cao's playbook. You have to be rewarded. In the evening, you ask the imperial chef to cook some good dishes and send them to the prime minister's mansion." .”

Pan Yin was startled again and again, Yang Xiu did a good job, why didn't he reward Yang Xiu, instead he rewarded the prime minister's house with food?

"The villain leads the order." Pan Yin didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly responded.

……

Hu Cao.

Xi Zhicai sat opposite Xun Yu, summarizing the inspection results of Shanyang County.

The corners of Xun Yu's face seemed to be a little older than before. After Xi Zhi finished speaking, he said with a strange expression: "You mean, the autumn grain in Shanyang County should be more than ten thousand shi?"

Xi Zhicai was thin and sick, and said coldly: "The autumn grain in Yanzhou should be more than [-] shi, and it has been withheld under various names."

Xun Yu frowned subconsciously, and said, "I remember, the three years in Zhongping was only [-]. You say [-], are you sure?"

Xi Zhicai looked angrily, and said: "I want to say 20, don't you believe it even more?"

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu are close friends, and they have been classmates for several years, but they have lost some respect for their official positions, and they are outspoken in their words.

Xun Yu regained his composure, his eyes full of thought.

Naturally, he believed in Xi Zhicai's words. According to the calculation of Yanzhou's farmland, 20 is not difficult.However, the Yanzhou chaos was initially determined, and there were many places that needed money. From prefectures, counties to counties, it is understandable to deduct autumn grain in various ways.

But this is not in line with the regulations of the imperial court, especially under the relatively harsh requirements of the 'New Deal'.

Xi Zhicai looked at him, his pale face moved, and said, "Are you worried that these people will be labeled as 'corrupt officials' and be investigated?"

Xun Yu hummed, and said: "The prince and Xun Cao are ruthless. Nearly 500 people have been investigated and dealt with in Bingzhou, causing various troubles. He Yong has written letters one after another, and the court is under great pressure."

Xi Zhicai knew that the imperial court had been using various means to strengthen the control of the local area, and now the people sent there were investigated instead. This made the local area even more chaotic, which had an impact on the imperial court's "New Deal" plan and became an obstacle.

"You really can't stop Wang Yun and Sima Jun?" Xi Zhicai said, his tone somewhat rude.

"The situation in the imperial court is more complicated than you think,"

Xun You came in from the outside, sat down next to Xi Zhicai, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty is too young and lacks prestige. The court needs someone to guard it. The prime minister's four generations and three princes are unmatched. If Wang Yun goes, Shangshutai is just an empty shelf."

Xi Zhicai couldn't help frowning, and said: "Don't His Majesty in the palace know?"

Xu You poured tea to himself, and said, "If Your Majesty didn't know, how could you suppress the conflict between the Prime Minister and Wang Yun over and over again? Your Majesty, even the Twelve Attendants, He Jin, and Yuan Kai are the ones to kill at will. .”

Xi Zhicai was full of doubts, and said: "Then I don't understand, since these two are useless, it's only a matter of time before they go, why did you demote you to third class?"

Er Xun was also puzzled by this matter.

Xun Yu said, "What I want to talk about today is about autumn grain."

Xi Zhicai shook his head. He knew Xun Yu's personality very well, and said, "If you don't figure it out, there will be disaster sooner or later."

Xun Yu ignored him, looked at Xun You, and said, "Just now Zhicai said that Yanzhou's autumn grain may exceed one hundred thousand shi. From this point of view, what the prince and Xingcao did may not be a bad thing."

"One hundred thousand?"

Xun You was startled, looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "There are really so many?"

Xi Zhicai said: "There should be. I personally checked the Yanzhou Xiabacheng warehouse, and there are only a lot more."

It took a lot of effort for Xi Zhi to search all these warehouses!
Xun You's face was serious, and he said: "In this way, His Majesty's anger has a source."

Xi Zhicai was startled, and said: "You mean, Your Majesty already knew?"

Xun You took a sip of tea, his expression still fixed, and he said calmly, "Don't underestimate the palace, the palace gets all kinds of news faster than the imperial court."

Xi Zhicai's heart tightened, and he said hastily: "In this case, what Wang Yun and Xing Cao did was secretly supported by the palace?"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "I plan to recommend you to punish Cao."

Xun You glanced at Xun Yu, thoughtful.

Xi Zhicai paused, and said, "Isn't Yushitai doing something right now? Why do you want me to punish Cao again?"

Xun Yu's expression was rare, and he said after a while: "I guess, Sima Jun may enter the Shangshutai."

Xi Zhicai and Xun You couldn't help but look at each other. They vaguely guessed this possibility, but they never pointed it out.

Xun Yu wanted to be reticent, but everything he said must be thought through.

Xi Zhicai hesitated for a while, and said: "If Sima Jun enters the Shangshutai, the situation in the court will change again. This also shows that His Majesty is very dissatisfied with the current bureaucracy, and is determined to push it forward..."

Xun You didn't speak, and the pressure in his heart was like a mountain.

'Clarifying the administration of officials', he is the one who thinks the heaviest and the most responsible.

How could they have thought that Wang Yun's wave had already reached the atmosphere.

That night, it was not Qihou's mansion.

Fu Wan stood under the eaves, wrapped in thick clothes, looked at the dark sky, and said to himself: "Is it going to snow?"

"Master, the prince is here, at the back door." Suddenly, the servant behind him whispered.

After bending over, his heart skipped a beat, he turned his head and said anxiously: "What is he doing here? What does he want to do this late at night?"

Compared with Prime Minister Yang Biao's "inaction", Wang Yun is "vigorous", caring very much about government affairs, taking the lead in everything, and never being the second person.

A while ago, Wang Yun asked Yushitai to investigate the matter of Bingzhou, and almost put Fu Wan on the fire, but now Fu Wan is somewhat avoiding Wang Yun.

The servant said in a low voice: "The prince said that it is about the life of the whole family."

Fu Wan refused to believe it, but when Wang Yun came to the door, he couldn't refuse the door. He thought about it and said in a low voice: "Take him in quietly, don't let anyone find out."

The servant responded and left in a hurry.
