Han family achievements

Chapter 22 Huangfu Song

After Liu Bian had eaten outside the palace, he reached out to take Empress Dowager He's bowl and filled her with soup.

Empress Dowager He immediately smiled, looked at He Jin and said, "Brother, don't worry, everyone who belongs to you will definitely be picked clean. Once these people are removed, after the ceremony of Bian'er's enthronement, let Yuan Shao go. The whole family lives in peace of mind, the whole world belongs to our family, there is nothing to argue about..."

Liu Bian said casually while filling the soup: "Then the eldest uncle will be the main one, and the eldest Changqiu will assist."

He Jin nodded heavily, his excitement was uncontrollable, his heart had already flown outside the palace.

The corners of Liu Bian's mouth curled up slightly.

The followers of the Twelve Permanent Attendants are all over the world, and if they want to eliminate them completely, they will offend many people.

Liu Bian gave the bowl to Empress Dowager He, and then to He Jinsheng, glanced at Pan Yin, and said, "What's the matter, I need to ask the general, do you understand?"

Pan Yin quickly bowed and said, "The villain understands."

He Jin took the bowl that Liu Bian handed over without moving at all. Seeing that Liu Bian seemed to be sensible, he was in a happy mood, with a wide smile, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, with this old man here, I will definitely let you be a happy emperor!"

Liu Bian sat down, gave it to himself, and said, "Uncle said so, so I feel relieved. That's the way to deal with it. Later, I will ask Da Changqiu to sort out the list of party members of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others. Give it to uncle tomorrow."

He Jin was about to get up when he heard the words, when a small yellow door suddenly appeared outside the door, and said: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Huangfu Song asks to see you."

Liu Bian's heart moved slightly, he looked at He Jin, and said, "Uncle, I heard that you and Huangfu Song are not on good terms?"

He Jin moved his buttocks and sat back again, saying: "It's all trivial things, nothing to worry about."

"Then let him in." Liu Bian looked at Xiao Huangmen and said.

So everyone remained silent, waiting for Huangfusong to come over.

Huangfusong was wearing an official uniform, holding Huangfu Jianzhang in his hand, as soon as he came in, he pressed Huangfu Jianzhang to the ground, kneeling on the ground with a serious expression, and said: "I am not strict in teaching my son, and offended Your Majesty, I am here to make an apology!"

He Jin turned his head to look, and saw Huangfu Jian kneeling on the ground, with half of his face on the ground, wrapped in cloth, still bleeding, unconscious.

He was taken aback, turned around and argued with Liu, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

Liu Bian shook his head, and said: "This Huangfu was strong and robbed women in broad daylight. I ran into him and taught him a lesson, but he didn't hit so hard."

Huangfu Song knelt down on the ground, his voice seemed remorseful, and said: "It was the minister who beat me!"

Liu Bian looked at Huangfu Jianchang, who was still bleeding silently on the ground, thinking that he might really be dead, right?
He Jin was in a good mood, stroked his beard, and suddenly argued with Liu: "Your Majesty, Huangfusong is honest and honest, and he has a straight name in the court. Please also recite his merits in flattening the Yellow Turban, and give him a lighter sentence."

Liu Bian never thought about dealing with Huangfusong. Seeing what He Jin said, he went along with the flow and sold his favor, saying: "Since the general begged for mercy, let's forget about it. However, the children of the aristocratic families in the capital are indeed becoming more and more shameless." .General, you should immediately make a charter, inform the big family, be serious about family education, and take good care of your children!"

He Jin got up immediately and said: "I accept the order! Resign!"

As he spoke, before Liu Bian could speak, he turned around and walked back.

Looking at He Jin's hurried back, Liu Bian could guess what he was going to do, and couldn't help but smile and squint his eyes.

Seeing that He Jin left suddenly, Queen Mother He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, she hurriedly got up and chased after him, saying: "Brother, I will send you off, and I still have something to say to you..."

Liu Bian glanced at Pan Yin from the corner of his eye, and said, "You also go to see off the general."

"Yes." Pan Yin responded, trotting to keep up with Queen Mother He.

In the room, only Liu Bian, Huangfu Song and his son were left.

Holding the teacup, Liu Bian looked at Huangfu Song who was still lying on the ground, and then at Huangfu Jianchang who was still unconscious.

Just as he was about to drink tea, he paused, and noticed that Huangfu Jian's long eyelids were blinking. Liu Bian observed carefully, and found that Huangfu Jian's face was secretly sullen, as if he was trying his best to endure the pain.

Liu Bian frowned, then smiled at the corner of his mouth, took a sip of tea, and said, "Huangfuqing's family, please get up and sit down, I have something to ask you."

Ever since he learned that Huangfu Jianchang was Huangfusong's son on the street, Liu Bian had a thought in his mind.While eating, by the way, I made some superficial investigations on Huangfusong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huangfusong let go of his frown, and slowly got up.

Perhaps it was because of kneeling for a long time, Huangfusong staggered on one foot just as he stood up, and almost fell down, but without changing his expression, he put his hands on the ground, stood up, and knelt down opposite Liu Bian.

Liu Bian put down his teacup and looked at Huangfusong.

There is a bunch of white hair on the top of the head, a thin and long face, dark, calm eyes, a straight nose, and slightly thin lips, giving people a feeling that they are not easy to get along with, and strangers should not enter.

Liu Bian said: "Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong has already been imprisoned. They confessed that they framed the Qing family. I will take the opportunity to rehabilitate the Qing family."

Huangfusong looked as usual, bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian looked at him, pondered for a while, and said, "What do the Qing family think of the Yellow Turban Army?"

Huangfusong sat up straight, with unprecedented seriousness on his face, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate the Yellow Turban Rebellion! The imperial court needs to use all its strength, must be clear about priorities, keep pace, use both suppression and appeasement, and use both grace and power." Concentrate your forces, conquer Yuzhou first, and then divide your troops into Qing and Xu. At the same time, strictly control the local tyrants, don't trust the counties and counties too much, and don't give them too much power. To wipe out the Yellow Turban Army, the court must be the main..."

Liu Bian was just probing, but he didn't expect Huangfusong to say so much all of a sudden.

This also shows that, as the commander-in-chief who almost wiped out the Yellow Turban Army, Huang Fusong is still very vigilant against the Yellow Turban Army, and believes that the court needs to do its best!
Liu Bian nodded slightly. It was indeed the Yellow Turban Army that shook the foundation of the big man.

"The Qing family thinks that we should not place too much trust in the localities and give them power?" After Huangfusong finished speaking, Liu Bian asked again.

Huangfu Song said: "Yes. The Yellow Turban Rebellion certainly did great harm to my great man, but the local aristocratic families and powerful families need to be on guard. There are many famous and powerful families, as long as one person stands up, there will be a huge response, and followers will gather. It only takes a few days Thousands or even tens of thousands of people can be recruited. They have land and money, and they are expected to have power. Not princes are better than princes. If the chaos of the Yellow Turban is peaceful, the court must be alert to the rebellion of aristocratic families!"

There was a hint of shock in Liu Bian's eyes, and he looked deeply at Huangfusong.

He never expected that Huangfusong could see so far!

The current aristocratic family of the Han Dynasty has indeed reached the point where it is out of control. The history of the [-]th princes asking for Dong has already explained everything!
Liu Bian didn't try any more, and said directly: "The Qing family is talented and has a long-term vision. I have appointed Fu Qing's family as chariot generals to rectify the soldiers and horses of Sili, especially the soldiers and horses of Baguan!"

Sili, also known as Sizhou, is a state centered on Luoyang, and it is Zhili Prefecture, so it has a very special status among the states of the Han Dynasty.

The so-called "Eight Passes" is because a few years ago the Yellow Turban army was powerful and wanted to attack Luoyang. The imperial court hurriedly recruited young and strong men, and set up eight pass captains at the eight passes around Luoyang to defend Luoyang.

With the decline of the Yellow Turban Army and the change of direction, the Eight Passes collapsed and became useless, but the name is still there.

Huangfu Song lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, this is not a difficult task, the key lies in the military salary."

The Han Dynasty, which seemed to be strong, revealed its frailty after the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. The most important thing is that the tax revenue dropped sharply, and the imperial treasury bottomed out.

Liu Bian estimated the property of Zhang Rang and others, and said: "From the Zhongfu, within three days, 20 yuan will be allocated first, and in one month, 3000 million yuan will be allocated to you, and after that, 3000 million yuan will be allocated to you every month."

One thousand taels is one tael, 3000 million taels, thirty thousand taels, equivalent to 3 taels of silver, 3 taels, quite valuable at this time!

Hearing that he was coming out of the Zhongfu, Huangfusong looked a little surprised, and looked at Liu Bian more seriously. Immediately, he moved back a little, and prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian heard the trembling in his voice, and the old official seemed to be extremely excited about him paying money from the central government to reorganize the army.
