Han family achievements
Chapter 222 Relegated to Common People
Chapter 222 Relegated to Common People
Wang Yun, who was shouting, was dragged out of the apse by the guards.
After Prime Minister Yang Biao's "leader's decree", the quiet needle drop could be heard in the hall.
Most of the people present here are aware that Wang Yun's insidious means must have angered Liu Bian, but they never thought that it would be as severe as the "Yi San Clan"!
The courtiers bowed their bodies and lowered their heads, their expressions unprecedentedly dignified.
Since the current Majesty took the throne, he has always advertised 'benevolence', and this is the first time that he has taken the initiative to treat the important officials of the court 'Yi'!
In just a moment, some people's eyes fell on Liu Xie, Fu Wan, and Cai Yong.
Although Wang Yun is said to be the left servant of Shangshutai, compared to Liu Xie, Fu Wan, and Cai Yong, they are still far behind in terms of dignified power and status.
Needless to say, Liu Xie is the son of the late emperor and the younger brother of the current emperor.
Fu Wan's wife is Princess Yang'an, and his son-in-law is Liu Xie, a real relative of the emperor.
And Cai Yong is even more special, his grandson is His Royal Highness the First Prince named 'Shao', and his daughter is very favored in the palace.According to past historical experience, it won't take long for this person to be able to add the 'General' and give power to the government!
None of these three people can move lightly!
Liu Bian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea quietly.
Regarding Liu Xie, Fu Wan, and Cai Yong, he still hasn't made up his mind.
Wang Yun was dismissed, and the affairs could be downgraded to Liucao, but Liu Xie, Fu Wan, and Cai Yong were all involved in his various arrangements.
In addition, Zhu Jun, Liu Yu, and Ding Yuan are three!
"His Majesty,"
Xun Yu got up suddenly, raised his hand and said, "The King of Bohai, Fu Zhongcheng, and Cai Taichang are all bewitched by Wang Yun, not cronies. The King of Bohai and Fu Zhongcheng are even in the palace, and they are recommended by the imperial court. , Your Majesty, please be aware."
Xun Yu's words resounded in the back hall, making the lifeless and oppressive hall seem to come alive suddenly.
Empress Dowager Dong quickly answered the call, and said to Liu Bian, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that, Liu Xie was young and ignorant, and was bewitched by Wang Yun, but he, he acted brightly and did not have any malicious intentions. Please learn from Your Majesty."
After Fu Wan heard the words, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the ministers are confused and deceived by Wang Yun's rhetoric. The minister's intention is to recommend the prince for His Majesty, and there is no evil intention. Please be aware of it!"
Cai Yong followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, the subject is guilty. Then Wang Yun told the subject that it was His Majesty's intention to establish the prince Shao, and the subject didn't think much about it...The subject did not agree, and he is not a partisan. Please forgive me. ..."
Listening to the sophistry of the three, Liu Bian's eyes twitched slightly.
Are these people really stupid?
Empress Dowager Dong really wanted to continue to argue for Liu Xie, but she was worried that she would lose her words if she said too much, so she could only sit there with an uneasy face.
"His Majesty,"
Empress Dowager He spoke, and snorted coldly: "These people don't mean what they say, and they don't know how many things are hidden behind their backs!"
Liu Bian glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, this cheap old lady was finally smart for a while.
Cai Wenji, who was not far away, was so nervous that she almost cried.
Liu Bian glanced at the people present, still thinking about how to deal with it.
Now the stalls are too big, and these people occupy important positions. They can neither be too heavy nor light, and they need to carefully measure their proportions.
"His Majesty,"
Xun Yu raised his hand again, and said: "I think that although the king of Bohai, Fu Zhongcheng, was bewitched by Wang Yun, he acted brightly and did not commit any wrongdoing. He should be punished in a small way and punished in a big way, so as to serve as an example to others."
Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu met Liu Bian's gaze, and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Yun conspired to establish an heir with ulterior motives, but the King of Bohai, Fu Zhongcheng is for the sake of the country, not for personal gain, and it is a performance before the imperial court, so we should have a similar relationship with Wang Yun." the difference."
Xun You suddenly came back to his senses at this time, then raised his hand and said: "The minister seconded the proposal."
"Senior." Zhong Yao didn't hesitate.
Afterwards, Huangfusong, Lu Zhi, Sima Jun and others paused for a while and said: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."
Liu Bian was expressionless, glanced at Cai Yong, and said thoughtfully: "Since that's the case, King Bohai, after paying the penalty for one year, I hope you will be careful in the future and know what to do and what not to do!"
Liu Xie, who had been stiff all the time, suddenly relaxed, knocked his head on the ground, and said: "The minister leads the decree, thank you."
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Dong also let go of a hanging heart, suddenly put her hand on her head, and staggered backwards.
"The Empress Dowager..."
The maids and servants were terrified and rushed to help.
Empress Dowager He was dissatisfied with letting Liu Xie go in this way, but she also knew how to act, she screamed, turned around and came to Empress Dowager Dong.
Seeing that her eyes were tightly locked, and her anger was like gossamer, she immediately said: "Quick, pass on to the doctor!"
Liu Bian even ran over, hugged Empress Dowager Dong, and said: "Let the rest of the matter be handled by the Prime Minister."
The crowd didn't expect such a change, they could only watch Liu Bian holding Queen Mother Dong, Queen Mother He, Liu Xie and a large group of people rushing out.
In a short while, there were only a few servants left in the apse, and the rest were courtiers.
After a short period of panic, everyone's eyes fell on Yang Biao in front.
Cai Yong sat there, gently wiped the cold sweat from his brow, panting secretly.
Wang Yun, Liu Xie, Fu Wan, and finally it was him.
Yang Biao regained his senses at this moment, and looked at Cai Yong with a dignified expression, and said, "Cai Yong, are you guilty?"
Cai Yong gave a wry smile, raised his hand, and said, "Prime Minister, I'm sorry."
Can you still not know?Wang Yun is about to be killed by the Yi tribe.
Seeing that he didn't resist, Yang Biao pretended to ponder for a while, and said: "My colleagues, Wang Yun is against the law, and he should punish the three clans. Besides bewitching King Bohai, Fu Zhongcheng, and Cai Taichang, what do you think is how to close the case?" ?”
No one spoke.
No matter what Cai Yong said, he was also Prince Shao's grandfather. Who can guarantee that one day he will not skyrocket and sit in front of them?
Seeing that the crowd was silent, Yang Biao looked at Xun You with his fat face trembling, and said, "Xun Shangshu, what do you think?"
Xun You raised his hand, with a serious expression on his face, he said, "Prime Minister, I suggest that you should be compared to the King of Bohai and Fu Zhongcheng, with small punishments and big punishments."
Yang Biao thought about it, looked at Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, then suddenly turned to Sima Jun, and said, "What is Xing Cao's thinking?"
Sima Jun raised his hand and said, "Return to the Prime Minister, the opinion of the lower officials is consistent with that of Xun Shangshu."
Yang Biao didn't speak anymore, and looked down at the big belly.
Among so many people encouraged by Wang Yun, Cai Yong is undoubtedly the most special one.
He is the biological father of Cai Wenji and the grandfather of Prince Shao. In this farce of "seeking to establish a prince", Cai Yong or the Cai family are actually the biggest beneficiaries!
Yang Biao has been suspecting that Cai Yong may not be bewitched, maybe he is the mastermind, at least an accomplice!
In addition, Yang Biao didn't know what Liu Bian was thinking, so he couldn't make a decision.
Xun You, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao and the others looked at each other and said nothing more.
'Prince' is the heir apparent, which has always been a very sensitive matter, and there are countless bloody cases for this.
Er Xun and others did not speak, Huangfusong, Lu Zhi, Sima Jun and others naturally would not speak.
Seeing this, Cai Yong smiled wryly, the cold sweat on his head reappeared, and his heart was agitated.
Yang Biao blinked his small eyes, seeing that they were silent and didn't want to recite the matter, he sat up straight again and said in a deep voice: "Then let's settle this for now, I will report to His Majesty later, and His Majesty will make a final decision. "
Everyone had no opinion, and there was a silent pair.
Arriving at Cai Yong's place, it feels like it has become a 'housework'.
"Your Majesty, please." At this time, Xu Yan came to the door and said.
Yang Biao quickly stood up, came to the door, and said anxiously: "The empress dowager is well?"
Xu Yan smiled and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, the doctor said that it was because of excessive worry, and he will recover after a few days of rest."
"That's good, that's good, where is His Majesty?" Yang Biao said with a relieved expression.
Seeing more and more people coming out from behind Yang Biao, Xu Yan couldn't stand under the eaves, so he had to walk forward and said as he walked, "Your Majesty is in the side hall, and the Empress Dowager has already fallen asleep after taking medicine."
Yang Biao nodded, but his small eyes kept blinking.
Although this matter was Wang Yun's own initiative, and Yang Biao was alone, but once Wang Yun left, he was the only one left at Shangshutai.
Don't say anything, everything will be damaged, he now has a sense of desolation like a rabbit dying and a fox mourning.
Before everyone approached, Pan Yin hurried over along the verandah and said, "Masters, the Empress Dowager is ill, and Her Majesty has to take care of her at the bedside. Therefore, to make a long story short, there is no need to go to so many people. Prime Minister, Mrs. Sima, Er Xun Shangshu, Sima Shangshu, Cai Taichang, and Zhong Tingwei will do.”
Lu Zhi supported his body strongly, he was relieved to hear this, but his eyes were still looking at Huangfusong with worry.
Huangfusong sighed inwardly, this old friend might not be able to survive this winter.
Under Pan Yin's 'Delete Selection', a group of people came to the side hall, and it happened that Liu Bian came out from it.
"Your Majesty, I wait to see you." All the people hurriedly saluted.
Liu Bian took the cloak handed over by Pan Yin, looked at the dark sky in front of the door, the goose feathers were snowing heavily, and said indifferently, "Is there a result?"
Yang Biao raised his hand solemnly, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, many colleagues discussed together, compare the Bohai King and Fu Zhongcheng."
Cai Yong shrank behind the crowd, and kept staring at Liu Bian's side face cautiously, with apprehension in his eyes.
"The result of your consensus?"
Liu Bian snorted coldly, and said: "Decree, Jiujiang prefect Bian Ren will be transferred to be the prime minister of Taichang Temple. All official positions of Cai Yong will be cut, and he will be demoted to a commoner."
"The villain leads the order." Pan Yin said immediately.
The corners of Cai Yong's face were stiff, his expression seemed to be crying or laughing, and he fell to his knees with a plop, unable to utter a word.
Bian Rang is a master in the world, his talent and reputation are not inferior to Cai Yong.
Yang Biao, Er Xun, Sima Jun and the others did not speak, but only occasionally glanced at Cai Yong.
In front of him there was a Tang Mao who broke his halberd and sank into the sand, and now this Cai Yong's "dream of a great general" has become a dream come true.
Liu Bian ignored Cai Yong, fastened his cloak, walked directly to the snow field in front of him, and said, "Tell me about Wang Yun's case."
Seeing that Liu Bian seemed about to leave the palace, everyone quickly followed him.
It has been snowing for too long, and many people's calves were covered, and it was not easy to walk.
But Liu Bian enjoyed this feeling very much, and without waiting for the people behind him to reply, he said, "What I'm talking about is, why did this happen? How to stop it and put an end to it."
Yang Biao followed closely behind, holding the waistband of his trousers with both hands, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I think it is Wang Yun's selfishness and lack of conduct."
Liu Bian clasped his hands, and every time he stepped into the deep snow, he felt inexplicably relieved, his whole body became calmer, and his thinking was relatively quick.
Looking at the heavy snow in front of him, Liu Bian said, "Huangfuqing's house?"
Huangfu Song paused for a moment, and said: "I think it's because of Gang Ji's failure."
Liu Bian nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Sima Qing's family."
Sima Jun was nearly eighty years old, and although his body was strong, it was still quite difficult for him to walk in the snow.
Two guards supported him, raised their hands and said: "I agree with the words of the Prime Minister and Da Sima."
"Ting Wei." Liu Bian said loudly without turning his head.
Zhong Yao quickly took half a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the court's laws and regulations must be strict and no gaps should be left. Courtiers should stick to their integrity and not be more selfish than public."
Liu Bian couldn't help but slowed down a bit, and said, "Everyone in your family is well-versed in poetry and books, but do you still remember the lessons from Shizong's time?"
Sejong is the temple name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can be said to be quite extreme. It is said that he is sage and wise, that he is stupid and stupid, that he is frugal and frugal, and that he is extravagant and extravagant.
I don't know how many lessons he left for future generations.
But in connection with the current situation, four big characters appeared in the hearts of everyone at the same time: the disaster of witchcraft.
After the outbreak of the "Witch Gu Disaster", the crown prince Liu Ju died unexpectedly, and the empress Wei Zifu hanged himself. Not only did the succession of the throne change, it also affected all aspects of the court, and even included a turning point in the conquest of the Huns.
The "Witch Gu's Curse" is like a watershed, which cuts off Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years, making it very clear for everyone to see.
Yang Biao naturally knew what was going on here, and if his heart moved, he secretly felt sorry for him.
Behind the 'Witch Gu's disaster', in essence, was still a 'battle for succession', which involved many important figures in the imperial court at that time, including the prime minister!
Liu Bian stepped on the snow, walked slowly, and said, "Remember the lesson and don't repeat the same mistakes. Regarding the establishment of the crown prince, there is no purpose in the future, so don't mention it again."
"The courtiers wait for the order." All the courtiers behind him raised their hands one after another.
Almost all of them are human beings, and they can all clearly feel that this His Majesty seems to be very resistant to the matter of 'Li Chu'.
crunch
Liu Bian stepped on the snow, looked at the Quefei Temple not far away, and said, "My dear family, do you have any different opinions on my treatment of Wang Yun?"
Yang Biao loosened his trouser belt violently, raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Wang Yun is ambitious, conspiring to succeed, and the crime is unforgivable, and all the ministers have no objection."
Liu Bian glanced back and saw the courtiers raising their hands one after another, but they didn't seem to have any opinions.
Seeing that the snow was getting bigger and bigger, Liu Bian quickened his pace and said, "Regarding Wang Yun's case, the Shang Shutai must take care of it clearly so that no future troubles will be left. The Prime Minister must take care of the matter in Wang Yun's hands and not let it go. "
"The minister leads the decree." Yang Biao said with one foot shallow and one foot deep.
Yang Biao was having a hard time walking, Liu Bian looked relieved, and said: "Over there at Ting Wei's Mansion, regarding the Han law, we need to step up the revision. The rules and regulations of the court should be listed out first, and all courtiers should keep them in mind and not overstep it." !"
Zhong Yao said solemnly: "The minister accepts the decree."
Liu Bian hummed, walked around the Quefei Palace, got into the carriage, looked back at the courtiers, and said, "It's the end of the year, all of you, your family, have to work harder."
The courtiers in the snow, hearing Liu Bian's words and watching his carriage go away, couldn't help but look at each other.
Is such a big matter of Wang Yun just settled like this?
Yang Biao slowly lowered his face. The carriage not far away was obviously going out of the city, that is to say, all the big and small things in Luoyang City would fall on his head.
Especially the case of Wang Yun!
Xun You folded his hands, looked suspiciously at the receding carriage, and said to himself, "Your Majesty is in a hurry, what happened?"
Sima Jun stepped forward and said, "The top priority now is to settle the case of Wang Yun. I don't know, is it Xingcao Lai, or Shangshutai?"
Everyone listened and all looked at him.
Sima Jun was neither humble nor overbearing, and met these gazes, and said: "Tingwei's mansion does not have enough power and responsibility, Yushitai is involved in the case, now it is either Shangshutai or Xingcao, please show me."
Yang Biao looked at Sima Jun, frowned for a long time, and said, "Come on Xingcao, report it to the old man."
"The next official takes orders." Sima Jun said.
A group of people looked at Sima Jun with strange emotions in their hearts.
This guy behaved too calmly, as if he was a complete outsider!
When Liu Bian left Beijing, Xing Cao, under the order of Sima Jun, searched the Wang family and arrested his party members.
Wang Yun's temperament is withdrawn, except for a few disciples and old officials, he has almost no "partners", so it is quite smooth.
Three days later, the sky prison.
Inside the prison door, sat Wang Yun with an indifferent face, unkempt face, but eyes like knives.
Outside the prison door stood Prime Minister Yang Biao with a fat face like iron and blinking small eyes.
The two stared at each other for a while, but no one spoke.
"Prime Minister, are you here to see a joke about me, a prisoner?" Wang Yun spoke first.
Yang Biao, with his hands behind his back and his big belly sticking out, looked at Wang Yun's appearance with a rare look of despondency on his face.
Seeing that all the jailers around had left, Yang Biao looked at Wang Yun and said, "I won't play around with you either. Give me the evidence you have collected, and I will protect some members of your Wang family from death."
Wang Yun suddenly laughed, and then laughed loudly, saying: "Yang Biao! Can't you pretend at last?!"
Yang Biao's chubby face was trembling, and he waited until Wang Yun stopped smiling before he said, "I'm not as sinister as you think. Those things are useless to me, and I'm worried about falling into the hands of someone with a heart."
Wang Yun's most important task at Shangshutai is to "reduce redundant officials". With the help of Xingcao, he has in his hands the "evidence" of many officials, big and small.
Wang Yun sneered, and said: "Yang Biao, you have always regarded yourself as 'doing nothing'. No one knows what you are thinking. In my opinion, you are the great thief!"
Yang Biao seemed to have lost his patience, and said, "Are you really ignoring the younger generation of your Wang family?"
Wang Yun's expression changed for a while, and with a gloomy face, he said: "I can give it to you! But, you must be careful of the Yingchuan Party, they also have a share in their hands!"
Seeing that he was still instigating at this time, Yang Biao put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I don't need to worry about this. I will retire by the end of next year at the latest."
Wang Yun was startled, and said, "Why?"
In his opinion, apart from his thorn in the side of Shangshutai, that Shangshutai belongs to Yang Biao alone!
One person is under one person and ten thousand people are above, and all authority is held in the hands. This is what many people desire but cannot obtain!
Yang Biao blinked his small eyes a few times, shook his head, and said, "I will try my best to keep the young ones in your clan safe. You pass them a message, don't talk nonsense, let alone bite."
"Why do you want to resign?" Seeing Yang Biao about to leave, Wang Yun stood up suddenly, came to the prison door, and said sternly.
Seeing that he was still unconscious, Yang Biao couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Do you only have power in your eyes? If you take a longer view, you won't be so confused and end up like this."
"What did you see?" Wang Yun opened his eyes angrily, and grabbed the wooden pillar with both hands.
Yang Biao didn't say any more, and left straight away.
"Yang Biao!" Wang Yun shouted angrily from behind.
The jailer not far away hurried over, seeing Wang Yun, who had always been calm and restrained, lose his composure, he couldn't help but glance at each other.
At this time, Hu Cao's official yamen.
Both Xun You and Zhong Yao were there, talking about various things with Xun Yu.
Xun You said: "Regarding the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, Li Cao has almost prepared, and is going to find an opportunity to implement it."
Zhong Yao glanced at him, and said hesitantly, "It's better to wait, at least until the case of Wang Yun is settled."
The "reduction of redundant officials" is not over yet, but Wang Yun is in prison. Too many people are watching, waiting for the court's further actions.
When Xun You heard Zhong Yao mention 'Wang Yun', he turned to him and said, "Xingcao really decided to try it alone instead of going through Tingwei's Mansion?"
Zhong Yao looked solemn and said, "Well, before I came just now, I saw the prime minister's carriage, so I guess I was going to see Wang Yun."
"This is not in compliance with the regulations! How can Xingcao decide the case!" Xun You said with a sullen face.
Xun Yu raised his head at this moment and said, "Has Your Majesty still not ordered?"
Zhong Yao said: "Without Shangshutai's memorial, His Majesty's will cannot be made. Recently, the prime minister has done a lot of things, and I am a little worried."
Xun Yu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "The case of Wang Yun, according to my opinion, will eventually fall to the Tingwei Mansion. We just need to wait for His Majesty's order. These things are not too important. We have to do something for Xia Liang." get ready."
Seeing that Xun Yu didn't care about Wang Yun's case, Zhong Yao was moved and said, "Wen Ruo means to take the opportunity to get the matter of 'reducing redundant officials' to Li Cao?"
Xun Yu murmured, and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking small fish. You must focus on the overall situation and start from the small. Your Majesty said that it is imperative to govern the country first by governing the officials and clarifying the governance of the officials."
Xun You just thought about it for a while, and then said: "There are too many involved in this, if we do it all at once, I'm afraid it will backfire."
Xun Yu looked at him and said, "So, now we must focus on two things, one is the administration of officials, and the other is taxation. Other things can be pushed back. As long as these two things are done well, the great Han Zhongxing is in sight. !"
Xun You and Zhong Yao couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Xun Yu's firm and sonorous words.
Xun Yu's passion surged and he sharpened his sword, but the two of them felt the huge pressure like a mountain.
Right now, Hanoi County.
Accompanied by Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, Liu Bian was inspecting the fields.
And on Liu Bian's left hand side stood the prefect of Hanoi, Sima Fang.
Sima Fang was tall and tall, quite handsome, but at the moment his face was full of sadness, and he said: "Your Majesty, since the autumn planting, for some reason, these chestnut seedlings have died in pieces. Your Majesty After careful investigation, at least one thousand hectares has this situation..."
Liu Bian frowned, came to a field, pulled up a withered yellow seedling, and saw that the roots in the mud were already rotten.
"A thousand hectares?"
Liu Bian raised his head and looked into the distance. There were farmlands everywhere, and he couldn't see the end. He asked, "Is there such a situation in other places?"
Sima Fang said: "I wrote to ask, but I didn't find out."
Liu Bian didn't do much research on these things, so he couldn't explain why. He told Pan Yin, "Write it down. After we go back, we need to gather some talents in farming to conduct special research on this. Also, we need to study in Taixue and Hongdumen. , plus agronomy courses..."
Pan Yin responded, writing down every single word.
Liu Bian walked for a while, and found that the disaster situation was not optimistic, and his heart was a little heavy.
"Think about it,"
Liu Bian looked at Sima Fang and said, "Find out the reason and solve it as soon as possible...If you can't solve it, you have to appease the people. I will order Hu Cao to allocate money and food."
Sima Fang hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, there is no shortage of food in Hanoi, families from all over the world are brave enough to donate, and the people can survive the winter without any problem at all."
Liu Bian frowned. Is this family in Hanoi County so generous and selfless?
Before he could speak, a guard hurried over not far away, knelt down on one knee, handed over a memorial, and said, "Your Majesty, an urgent report from the Imperial City Mansion."
Liu Bian reached out to take it, opened it to look, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Zhen, I almost forgot about you."
The content of this memorial is actually very simple. Li Ru, the prefect of Runan, stepped into Dong Zhuo's shogunate first because he was Wang Yun's accomplice and was worried about being implicated.
"Don't worry about it." Liu Bian casually threw the memorial to Pan Yin.
Pan Yin quickly took it over and put it away carefully.
Liu Bian looked at the fields again, and suddenly asked Zhao Yun, "Where has the field of the Imperial Army's camp been progressing?"
Zhao Yun was dressed in silver armor. Upon hearing this, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Return to Your Majesty, after a series of arrangements made by Mr. Lu, the number of farmland occupied by the Imperial Army camp has tripled compared to last year, and the rations are already sufficient."
Lu Zhi was in charge of the affairs of the Forbidden Army camp. He was so busy that even though he was seriously ill, he was still working without any delay.
Thinking about Lu Zhi's condition, Liu Bian couldn't help sighing, and said, "The doctor said that Lu Qing's family can survive this winter, but they won't survive the next winter."
Zhao Yun looked silent.
Compared with Huangfusong who is unattainable, Lu Zhi is much more approachable, especially in various conducts, he is strict with himself, treats others leniently, neither greedy nor possessive, dedicated to the public, he is a rare straight person!
Zhao Yun admired him very much.
"His Majesty."
At this time, Pan Yinhu stepped forward and said, "The memorandum transferred from Beijing."
Liu Bian took it over and swept it away, and couldn't help frowning.
This is Cao Cao's memorabilia, mainly to intercede for Xia Houyuan, and even said something like "the minister will take the place of his body, hoping to atone for the crime".
"Oh, why do you feel threatened?"
Liu Bian looked at Cao Cao's memorial, and subconsciously touched his chin.
In this memorial, between the lines, there is a kind of 'arrogance', not as humble as before.
Liu Bian raised his eyelids, looked at Sima Fang beside him, and said, "What do the Qing family think of Cao Cao?"
When Sima Fang received his father's letter, he naturally knew how to write the word 'cautious', and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I don't know General Cao well, so I don't know how to behave."
Liu Bian nodded thoughtfully, and looked up towards Qingzhou.
Cao Cao holds more than [-] soldiers and horses, the land of the two counties, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, isn't he really arrogant?
"Then Xia Houyuan, how did the Da Sima Mansion deal with it?" Liu Bian asked while thinking.
Pan Yin thought for a while and said, "It should be sixty years of fighting and three years of imprisonment."
Liu Bian hummed, Xia Houyuan probably deserved some credit for this treatment, otherwise Xia Houyuan's death penalty would have been more than enough.
And Cao Cao's "subjects replace themselves" is worth pondering.
In Liu Bian's plan, Lu Zhi was seriously ill, and the best replacement was Zhu Jun, but now it seems that once Zhu Jun leaves Qingzhou, Cao Cao will have no one to restrain him!
Qingzhou has just been pacified, and Cao Cao needs to guard it. For a while, he cannot be ordered to withdraw.
"Cao Cao..."
Liu Bian slowly deliberated in his heart. In the past, he was thinking about how to use it, but now he was thinking about how to use it with peace of mind.
"His Majesty,"
Pan Yin stood beside Liu Bian and said in a low voice: "It's getting late, Beijing has been asking His Majesty if it's right to return to Beijing."
Liu Bian came back to his senses and said, "Wang Yun's case is clear?"
Pan Yin said: "Yes. Xingcao has arrested all his party members, obtained confessions and criminal evidence, and has already gone to the Shangshutai."
'I hope that Wang Yun's head can be deterrent. '
Liu Bian thought to himself, and said, "Dianwei, go back to Beijing."
"Observe the order!" Dian Weiweng said in a loud voice, and with a wave of his hand, plainclothes guards all around appeared, standing in a forest.
Liu Bian got on the carriage, stepped on it with one foot, turned his head suddenly, looked at Sima Fang, and said, "The Qing family, are you really not familiar with Cao Cao?"
Sima Fang was taken aback, with doubts on his face, he raised his hand and said, "I am indeed not familiar with General Cao."
Liu Bian smiled, put his hands together, and got into the carriage.
Sima Fang was puzzled, wondering why Liu Bian asked twice.
Sitting in the carriage, Liu Bian flipped through the information about the Forbidden Army Camp.
These are all written by Lu Zhi himself, covering the number of troops, training, military system, tactics, etc., and you can tell that countless painstaking efforts have been spent at a glance.
Judging from this manuscript, the actual number of soldiers in the Forbidden Army camp has reached 20, and this does not include the "temporary recruitment" and "surrender" of the leading generals.
For example, Cao Cao recruited and surrendered an army of more than [-] troops composed of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, but only [-] in the number of the Forbidden Army Battalion.
And this '20' army, in addition to guarding the northern states, there are [-] in the Sanfu Land, and [-] in the Forbidden Army Camp.
The imperial army guarding Luoyang is [-], and the Habayashi army is [-].
The sum of these various numbers startled Liu Bian.
"I don't even know, I have so many soldiers and horses..."
Liu Bian muttered to himself in a daze.
He was shocked. Moreover, the '20' is not the real number. Once the soldiers and horses recruited privately by generals, state shepherds and county guards are counted, this number will more than double!
"I still have to clean up..."
Liu Bian frowned slowly.
One Cao Cao is enough for him to have a headache.
But these generals with heavy troops in their hands are not those unarmed civil servants. Not only can the court not use force, but they have to be coaxed carefully.
"Still not strong enough..." Liu Bian said to himself.
If the imperial court was strong enough, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
I overestimated my brain and my hand speed, and the flag fell.
I only wrote [-] words o(╥﹏╥)o
(End of this chapter)
Wang Yun, who was shouting, was dragged out of the apse by the guards.
After Prime Minister Yang Biao's "leader's decree", the quiet needle drop could be heard in the hall.
Most of the people present here are aware that Wang Yun's insidious means must have angered Liu Bian, but they never thought that it would be as severe as the "Yi San Clan"!
The courtiers bowed their bodies and lowered their heads, their expressions unprecedentedly dignified.
Since the current Majesty took the throne, he has always advertised 'benevolence', and this is the first time that he has taken the initiative to treat the important officials of the court 'Yi'!
In just a moment, some people's eyes fell on Liu Xie, Fu Wan, and Cai Yong.
Although Wang Yun is said to be the left servant of Shangshutai, compared to Liu Xie, Fu Wan, and Cai Yong, they are still far behind in terms of dignified power and status.
Needless to say, Liu Xie is the son of the late emperor and the younger brother of the current emperor.
Fu Wan's wife is Princess Yang'an, and his son-in-law is Liu Xie, a real relative of the emperor.
And Cai Yong is even more special, his grandson is His Royal Highness the First Prince named 'Shao', and his daughter is very favored in the palace.According to past historical experience, it won't take long for this person to be able to add the 'General' and give power to the government!
None of these three people can move lightly!
Liu Bian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea quietly.
Regarding Liu Xie, Fu Wan, and Cai Yong, he still hasn't made up his mind.
Wang Yun was dismissed, and the affairs could be downgraded to Liucao, but Liu Xie, Fu Wan, and Cai Yong were all involved in his various arrangements.
In addition, Zhu Jun, Liu Yu, and Ding Yuan are three!
"His Majesty,"
Xun Yu got up suddenly, raised his hand and said, "The King of Bohai, Fu Zhongcheng, and Cai Taichang are all bewitched by Wang Yun, not cronies. The King of Bohai and Fu Zhongcheng are even in the palace, and they are recommended by the imperial court. , Your Majesty, please be aware."
Xun Yu's words resounded in the back hall, making the lifeless and oppressive hall seem to come alive suddenly.
Empress Dowager Dong quickly answered the call, and said to Liu Bian, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that, Liu Xie was young and ignorant, and was bewitched by Wang Yun, but he, he acted brightly and did not have any malicious intentions. Please learn from Your Majesty."
After Fu Wan heard the words, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the ministers are confused and deceived by Wang Yun's rhetoric. The minister's intention is to recommend the prince for His Majesty, and there is no evil intention. Please be aware of it!"
Cai Yong followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, the subject is guilty. Then Wang Yun told the subject that it was His Majesty's intention to establish the prince Shao, and the subject didn't think much about it...The subject did not agree, and he is not a partisan. Please forgive me. ..."
Listening to the sophistry of the three, Liu Bian's eyes twitched slightly.
Are these people really stupid?
Empress Dowager Dong really wanted to continue to argue for Liu Xie, but she was worried that she would lose her words if she said too much, so she could only sit there with an uneasy face.
"His Majesty,"
Empress Dowager He spoke, and snorted coldly: "These people don't mean what they say, and they don't know how many things are hidden behind their backs!"
Liu Bian glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, this cheap old lady was finally smart for a while.
Cai Wenji, who was not far away, was so nervous that she almost cried.
Liu Bian glanced at the people present, still thinking about how to deal with it.
Now the stalls are too big, and these people occupy important positions. They can neither be too heavy nor light, and they need to carefully measure their proportions.
"His Majesty,"
Xun Yu raised his hand again, and said: "I think that although the king of Bohai, Fu Zhongcheng, was bewitched by Wang Yun, he acted brightly and did not commit any wrongdoing. He should be punished in a small way and punished in a big way, so as to serve as an example to others."
Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu met Liu Bian's gaze, and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Yun conspired to establish an heir with ulterior motives, but the King of Bohai, Fu Zhongcheng is for the sake of the country, not for personal gain, and it is a performance before the imperial court, so we should have a similar relationship with Wang Yun." the difference."
Xun You suddenly came back to his senses at this time, then raised his hand and said: "The minister seconded the proposal."
"Senior." Zhong Yao didn't hesitate.
Afterwards, Huangfusong, Lu Zhi, Sima Jun and others paused for a while and said: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."
Liu Bian was expressionless, glanced at Cai Yong, and said thoughtfully: "Since that's the case, King Bohai, after paying the penalty for one year, I hope you will be careful in the future and know what to do and what not to do!"
Liu Xie, who had been stiff all the time, suddenly relaxed, knocked his head on the ground, and said: "The minister leads the decree, thank you."
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Dong also let go of a hanging heart, suddenly put her hand on her head, and staggered backwards.
"The Empress Dowager..."
The maids and servants were terrified and rushed to help.
Empress Dowager He was dissatisfied with letting Liu Xie go in this way, but she also knew how to act, she screamed, turned around and came to Empress Dowager Dong.
Seeing that her eyes were tightly locked, and her anger was like gossamer, she immediately said: "Quick, pass on to the doctor!"
Liu Bian even ran over, hugged Empress Dowager Dong, and said: "Let the rest of the matter be handled by the Prime Minister."
The crowd didn't expect such a change, they could only watch Liu Bian holding Queen Mother Dong, Queen Mother He, Liu Xie and a large group of people rushing out.
In a short while, there were only a few servants left in the apse, and the rest were courtiers.
After a short period of panic, everyone's eyes fell on Yang Biao in front.
Cai Yong sat there, gently wiped the cold sweat from his brow, panting secretly.
Wang Yun, Liu Xie, Fu Wan, and finally it was him.
Yang Biao regained his senses at this moment, and looked at Cai Yong with a dignified expression, and said, "Cai Yong, are you guilty?"
Cai Yong gave a wry smile, raised his hand, and said, "Prime Minister, I'm sorry."
Can you still not know?Wang Yun is about to be killed by the Yi tribe.
Seeing that he didn't resist, Yang Biao pretended to ponder for a while, and said: "My colleagues, Wang Yun is against the law, and he should punish the three clans. Besides bewitching King Bohai, Fu Zhongcheng, and Cai Taichang, what do you think is how to close the case?" ?”
No one spoke.
No matter what Cai Yong said, he was also Prince Shao's grandfather. Who can guarantee that one day he will not skyrocket and sit in front of them?
Seeing that the crowd was silent, Yang Biao looked at Xun You with his fat face trembling, and said, "Xun Shangshu, what do you think?"
Xun You raised his hand, with a serious expression on his face, he said, "Prime Minister, I suggest that you should be compared to the King of Bohai and Fu Zhongcheng, with small punishments and big punishments."
Yang Biao thought about it, looked at Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, then suddenly turned to Sima Jun, and said, "What is Xing Cao's thinking?"
Sima Jun raised his hand and said, "Return to the Prime Minister, the opinion of the lower officials is consistent with that of Xun Shangshu."
Yang Biao didn't speak anymore, and looked down at the big belly.
Among so many people encouraged by Wang Yun, Cai Yong is undoubtedly the most special one.
He is the biological father of Cai Wenji and the grandfather of Prince Shao. In this farce of "seeking to establish a prince", Cai Yong or the Cai family are actually the biggest beneficiaries!
Yang Biao has been suspecting that Cai Yong may not be bewitched, maybe he is the mastermind, at least an accomplice!
In addition, Yang Biao didn't know what Liu Bian was thinking, so he couldn't make a decision.
Xun You, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao and the others looked at each other and said nothing more.
'Prince' is the heir apparent, which has always been a very sensitive matter, and there are countless bloody cases for this.
Er Xun and others did not speak, Huangfusong, Lu Zhi, Sima Jun and others naturally would not speak.
Seeing this, Cai Yong smiled wryly, the cold sweat on his head reappeared, and his heart was agitated.
Yang Biao blinked his small eyes, seeing that they were silent and didn't want to recite the matter, he sat up straight again and said in a deep voice: "Then let's settle this for now, I will report to His Majesty later, and His Majesty will make a final decision. "
Everyone had no opinion, and there was a silent pair.
Arriving at Cai Yong's place, it feels like it has become a 'housework'.
"Your Majesty, please." At this time, Xu Yan came to the door and said.
Yang Biao quickly stood up, came to the door, and said anxiously: "The empress dowager is well?"
Xu Yan smiled and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, the doctor said that it was because of excessive worry, and he will recover after a few days of rest."
"That's good, that's good, where is His Majesty?" Yang Biao said with a relieved expression.
Seeing more and more people coming out from behind Yang Biao, Xu Yan couldn't stand under the eaves, so he had to walk forward and said as he walked, "Your Majesty is in the side hall, and the Empress Dowager has already fallen asleep after taking medicine."
Yang Biao nodded, but his small eyes kept blinking.
Although this matter was Wang Yun's own initiative, and Yang Biao was alone, but once Wang Yun left, he was the only one left at Shangshutai.
Don't say anything, everything will be damaged, he now has a sense of desolation like a rabbit dying and a fox mourning.
Before everyone approached, Pan Yin hurried over along the verandah and said, "Masters, the Empress Dowager is ill, and Her Majesty has to take care of her at the bedside. Therefore, to make a long story short, there is no need to go to so many people. Prime Minister, Mrs. Sima, Er Xun Shangshu, Sima Shangshu, Cai Taichang, and Zhong Tingwei will do.”
Lu Zhi supported his body strongly, he was relieved to hear this, but his eyes were still looking at Huangfusong with worry.
Huangfusong sighed inwardly, this old friend might not be able to survive this winter.
Under Pan Yin's 'Delete Selection', a group of people came to the side hall, and it happened that Liu Bian came out from it.
"Your Majesty, I wait to see you." All the people hurriedly saluted.
Liu Bian took the cloak handed over by Pan Yin, looked at the dark sky in front of the door, the goose feathers were snowing heavily, and said indifferently, "Is there a result?"
Yang Biao raised his hand solemnly, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, many colleagues discussed together, compare the Bohai King and Fu Zhongcheng."
Cai Yong shrank behind the crowd, and kept staring at Liu Bian's side face cautiously, with apprehension in his eyes.
"The result of your consensus?"
Liu Bian snorted coldly, and said: "Decree, Jiujiang prefect Bian Ren will be transferred to be the prime minister of Taichang Temple. All official positions of Cai Yong will be cut, and he will be demoted to a commoner."
"The villain leads the order." Pan Yin said immediately.
The corners of Cai Yong's face were stiff, his expression seemed to be crying or laughing, and he fell to his knees with a plop, unable to utter a word.
Bian Rang is a master in the world, his talent and reputation are not inferior to Cai Yong.
Yang Biao, Er Xun, Sima Jun and the others did not speak, but only occasionally glanced at Cai Yong.
In front of him there was a Tang Mao who broke his halberd and sank into the sand, and now this Cai Yong's "dream of a great general" has become a dream come true.
Liu Bian ignored Cai Yong, fastened his cloak, walked directly to the snow field in front of him, and said, "Tell me about Wang Yun's case."
Seeing that Liu Bian seemed about to leave the palace, everyone quickly followed him.
It has been snowing for too long, and many people's calves were covered, and it was not easy to walk.
But Liu Bian enjoyed this feeling very much, and without waiting for the people behind him to reply, he said, "What I'm talking about is, why did this happen? How to stop it and put an end to it."
Yang Biao followed closely behind, holding the waistband of his trousers with both hands, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I think it is Wang Yun's selfishness and lack of conduct."
Liu Bian clasped his hands, and every time he stepped into the deep snow, he felt inexplicably relieved, his whole body became calmer, and his thinking was relatively quick.
Looking at the heavy snow in front of him, Liu Bian said, "Huangfuqing's house?"
Huangfu Song paused for a moment, and said: "I think it's because of Gang Ji's failure."
Liu Bian nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Sima Qing's family."
Sima Jun was nearly eighty years old, and although his body was strong, it was still quite difficult for him to walk in the snow.
Two guards supported him, raised their hands and said: "I agree with the words of the Prime Minister and Da Sima."
"Ting Wei." Liu Bian said loudly without turning his head.
Zhong Yao quickly took half a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the court's laws and regulations must be strict and no gaps should be left. Courtiers should stick to their integrity and not be more selfish than public."
Liu Bian couldn't help but slowed down a bit, and said, "Everyone in your family is well-versed in poetry and books, but do you still remember the lessons from Shizong's time?"
Sejong is the temple name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The life of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can be said to be quite extreme. It is said that he is sage and wise, that he is stupid and stupid, that he is frugal and frugal, and that he is extravagant and extravagant.
I don't know how many lessons he left for future generations.
But in connection with the current situation, four big characters appeared in the hearts of everyone at the same time: the disaster of witchcraft.
After the outbreak of the "Witch Gu Disaster", the crown prince Liu Ju died unexpectedly, and the empress Wei Zifu hanged himself. Not only did the succession of the throne change, it also affected all aspects of the court, and even included a turning point in the conquest of the Huns.
The "Witch Gu's Curse" is like a watershed, which cuts off Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years, making it very clear for everyone to see.
Yang Biao naturally knew what was going on here, and if his heart moved, he secretly felt sorry for him.
Behind the 'Witch Gu's disaster', in essence, was still a 'battle for succession', which involved many important figures in the imperial court at that time, including the prime minister!
Liu Bian stepped on the snow, walked slowly, and said, "Remember the lesson and don't repeat the same mistakes. Regarding the establishment of the crown prince, there is no purpose in the future, so don't mention it again."
"The courtiers wait for the order." All the courtiers behind him raised their hands one after another.
Almost all of them are human beings, and they can all clearly feel that this His Majesty seems to be very resistant to the matter of 'Li Chu'.
crunch
Liu Bian stepped on the snow, looked at the Quefei Temple not far away, and said, "My dear family, do you have any different opinions on my treatment of Wang Yun?"
Yang Biao loosened his trouser belt violently, raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Wang Yun is ambitious, conspiring to succeed, and the crime is unforgivable, and all the ministers have no objection."
Liu Bian glanced back and saw the courtiers raising their hands one after another, but they didn't seem to have any opinions.
Seeing that the snow was getting bigger and bigger, Liu Bian quickened his pace and said, "Regarding Wang Yun's case, the Shang Shutai must take care of it clearly so that no future troubles will be left. The Prime Minister must take care of the matter in Wang Yun's hands and not let it go. "
"The minister leads the decree." Yang Biao said with one foot shallow and one foot deep.
Yang Biao was having a hard time walking, Liu Bian looked relieved, and said: "Over there at Ting Wei's Mansion, regarding the Han law, we need to step up the revision. The rules and regulations of the court should be listed out first, and all courtiers should keep them in mind and not overstep it." !"
Zhong Yao said solemnly: "The minister accepts the decree."
Liu Bian hummed, walked around the Quefei Palace, got into the carriage, looked back at the courtiers, and said, "It's the end of the year, all of you, your family, have to work harder."
The courtiers in the snow, hearing Liu Bian's words and watching his carriage go away, couldn't help but look at each other.
Is such a big matter of Wang Yun just settled like this?
Yang Biao slowly lowered his face. The carriage not far away was obviously going out of the city, that is to say, all the big and small things in Luoyang City would fall on his head.
Especially the case of Wang Yun!
Xun You folded his hands, looked suspiciously at the receding carriage, and said to himself, "Your Majesty is in a hurry, what happened?"
Sima Jun stepped forward and said, "The top priority now is to settle the case of Wang Yun. I don't know, is it Xingcao Lai, or Shangshutai?"
Everyone listened and all looked at him.
Sima Jun was neither humble nor overbearing, and met these gazes, and said: "Tingwei's mansion does not have enough power and responsibility, Yushitai is involved in the case, now it is either Shangshutai or Xingcao, please show me."
Yang Biao looked at Sima Jun, frowned for a long time, and said, "Come on Xingcao, report it to the old man."
"The next official takes orders." Sima Jun said.
A group of people looked at Sima Jun with strange emotions in their hearts.
This guy behaved too calmly, as if he was a complete outsider!
When Liu Bian left Beijing, Xing Cao, under the order of Sima Jun, searched the Wang family and arrested his party members.
Wang Yun's temperament is withdrawn, except for a few disciples and old officials, he has almost no "partners", so it is quite smooth.
Three days later, the sky prison.
Inside the prison door, sat Wang Yun with an indifferent face, unkempt face, but eyes like knives.
Outside the prison door stood Prime Minister Yang Biao with a fat face like iron and blinking small eyes.
The two stared at each other for a while, but no one spoke.
"Prime Minister, are you here to see a joke about me, a prisoner?" Wang Yun spoke first.
Yang Biao, with his hands behind his back and his big belly sticking out, looked at Wang Yun's appearance with a rare look of despondency on his face.
Seeing that all the jailers around had left, Yang Biao looked at Wang Yun and said, "I won't play around with you either. Give me the evidence you have collected, and I will protect some members of your Wang family from death."
Wang Yun suddenly laughed, and then laughed loudly, saying: "Yang Biao! Can't you pretend at last?!"
Yang Biao's chubby face was trembling, and he waited until Wang Yun stopped smiling before he said, "I'm not as sinister as you think. Those things are useless to me, and I'm worried about falling into the hands of someone with a heart."
Wang Yun's most important task at Shangshutai is to "reduce redundant officials". With the help of Xingcao, he has in his hands the "evidence" of many officials, big and small.
Wang Yun sneered, and said: "Yang Biao, you have always regarded yourself as 'doing nothing'. No one knows what you are thinking. In my opinion, you are the great thief!"
Yang Biao seemed to have lost his patience, and said, "Are you really ignoring the younger generation of your Wang family?"
Wang Yun's expression changed for a while, and with a gloomy face, he said: "I can give it to you! But, you must be careful of the Yingchuan Party, they also have a share in their hands!"
Seeing that he was still instigating at this time, Yang Biao put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I don't need to worry about this. I will retire by the end of next year at the latest."
Wang Yun was startled, and said, "Why?"
In his opinion, apart from his thorn in the side of Shangshutai, that Shangshutai belongs to Yang Biao alone!
One person is under one person and ten thousand people are above, and all authority is held in the hands. This is what many people desire but cannot obtain!
Yang Biao blinked his small eyes a few times, shook his head, and said, "I will try my best to keep the young ones in your clan safe. You pass them a message, don't talk nonsense, let alone bite."
"Why do you want to resign?" Seeing Yang Biao about to leave, Wang Yun stood up suddenly, came to the prison door, and said sternly.
Seeing that he was still unconscious, Yang Biao couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Do you only have power in your eyes? If you take a longer view, you won't be so confused and end up like this."
"What did you see?" Wang Yun opened his eyes angrily, and grabbed the wooden pillar with both hands.
Yang Biao didn't say any more, and left straight away.
"Yang Biao!" Wang Yun shouted angrily from behind.
The jailer not far away hurried over, seeing Wang Yun, who had always been calm and restrained, lose his composure, he couldn't help but glance at each other.
At this time, Hu Cao's official yamen.
Both Xun You and Zhong Yao were there, talking about various things with Xun Yu.
Xun You said: "Regarding the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, Li Cao has almost prepared, and is going to find an opportunity to implement it."
Zhong Yao glanced at him, and said hesitantly, "It's better to wait, at least until the case of Wang Yun is settled."
The "reduction of redundant officials" is not over yet, but Wang Yun is in prison. Too many people are watching, waiting for the court's further actions.
When Xun You heard Zhong Yao mention 'Wang Yun', he turned to him and said, "Xingcao really decided to try it alone instead of going through Tingwei's Mansion?"
Zhong Yao looked solemn and said, "Well, before I came just now, I saw the prime minister's carriage, so I guess I was going to see Wang Yun."
"This is not in compliance with the regulations! How can Xingcao decide the case!" Xun You said with a sullen face.
Xun Yu raised his head at this moment and said, "Has Your Majesty still not ordered?"
Zhong Yao said: "Without Shangshutai's memorial, His Majesty's will cannot be made. Recently, the prime minister has done a lot of things, and I am a little worried."
Xun Yu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "The case of Wang Yun, according to my opinion, will eventually fall to the Tingwei Mansion. We just need to wait for His Majesty's order. These things are not too important. We have to do something for Xia Liang." get ready."
Seeing that Xun Yu didn't care about Wang Yun's case, Zhong Yao was moved and said, "Wen Ruo means to take the opportunity to get the matter of 'reducing redundant officials' to Li Cao?"
Xun Yu murmured, and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking small fish. You must focus on the overall situation and start from the small. Your Majesty said that it is imperative to govern the country first by governing the officials and clarifying the governance of the officials."
Xun You just thought about it for a while, and then said: "There are too many involved in this, if we do it all at once, I'm afraid it will backfire."
Xun Yu looked at him and said, "So, now we must focus on two things, one is the administration of officials, and the other is taxation. Other things can be pushed back. As long as these two things are done well, the great Han Zhongxing is in sight. !"
Xun You and Zhong Yao couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Xun Yu's firm and sonorous words.
Xun Yu's passion surged and he sharpened his sword, but the two of them felt the huge pressure like a mountain.
Right now, Hanoi County.
Accompanied by Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, Liu Bian was inspecting the fields.
And on Liu Bian's left hand side stood the prefect of Hanoi, Sima Fang.
Sima Fang was tall and tall, quite handsome, but at the moment his face was full of sadness, and he said: "Your Majesty, since the autumn planting, for some reason, these chestnut seedlings have died in pieces. Your Majesty After careful investigation, at least one thousand hectares has this situation..."
Liu Bian frowned, came to a field, pulled up a withered yellow seedling, and saw that the roots in the mud were already rotten.
"A thousand hectares?"
Liu Bian raised his head and looked into the distance. There were farmlands everywhere, and he couldn't see the end. He asked, "Is there such a situation in other places?"
Sima Fang said: "I wrote to ask, but I didn't find out."
Liu Bian didn't do much research on these things, so he couldn't explain why. He told Pan Yin, "Write it down. After we go back, we need to gather some talents in farming to conduct special research on this. Also, we need to study in Taixue and Hongdumen. , plus agronomy courses..."
Pan Yin responded, writing down every single word.
Liu Bian walked for a while, and found that the disaster situation was not optimistic, and his heart was a little heavy.
"Think about it,"
Liu Bian looked at Sima Fang and said, "Find out the reason and solve it as soon as possible...If you can't solve it, you have to appease the people. I will order Hu Cao to allocate money and food."
Sima Fang hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, there is no shortage of food in Hanoi, families from all over the world are brave enough to donate, and the people can survive the winter without any problem at all."
Liu Bian frowned. Is this family in Hanoi County so generous and selfless?
Before he could speak, a guard hurried over not far away, knelt down on one knee, handed over a memorial, and said, "Your Majesty, an urgent report from the Imperial City Mansion."
Liu Bian reached out to take it, opened it to look, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Zhen, I almost forgot about you."
The content of this memorial is actually very simple. Li Ru, the prefect of Runan, stepped into Dong Zhuo's shogunate first because he was Wang Yun's accomplice and was worried about being implicated.
"Don't worry about it." Liu Bian casually threw the memorial to Pan Yin.
Pan Yin quickly took it over and put it away carefully.
Liu Bian looked at the fields again, and suddenly asked Zhao Yun, "Where has the field of the Imperial Army's camp been progressing?"
Zhao Yun was dressed in silver armor. Upon hearing this, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Return to Your Majesty, after a series of arrangements made by Mr. Lu, the number of farmland occupied by the Imperial Army camp has tripled compared to last year, and the rations are already sufficient."
Lu Zhi was in charge of the affairs of the Forbidden Army camp. He was so busy that even though he was seriously ill, he was still working without any delay.
Thinking about Lu Zhi's condition, Liu Bian couldn't help sighing, and said, "The doctor said that Lu Qing's family can survive this winter, but they won't survive the next winter."
Zhao Yun looked silent.
Compared with Huangfusong who is unattainable, Lu Zhi is much more approachable, especially in various conducts, he is strict with himself, treats others leniently, neither greedy nor possessive, dedicated to the public, he is a rare straight person!
Zhao Yun admired him very much.
"His Majesty."
At this time, Pan Yinhu stepped forward and said, "The memorandum transferred from Beijing."
Liu Bian took it over and swept it away, and couldn't help frowning.
This is Cao Cao's memorabilia, mainly to intercede for Xia Houyuan, and even said something like "the minister will take the place of his body, hoping to atone for the crime".
"Oh, why do you feel threatened?"
Liu Bian looked at Cao Cao's memorial, and subconsciously touched his chin.
In this memorial, between the lines, there is a kind of 'arrogance', not as humble as before.
Liu Bian raised his eyelids, looked at Sima Fang beside him, and said, "What do the Qing family think of Cao Cao?"
When Sima Fang received his father's letter, he naturally knew how to write the word 'cautious', and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I don't know General Cao well, so I don't know how to behave."
Liu Bian nodded thoughtfully, and looked up towards Qingzhou.
Cao Cao holds more than [-] soldiers and horses, the land of the two counties, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, isn't he really arrogant?
"Then Xia Houyuan, how did the Da Sima Mansion deal with it?" Liu Bian asked while thinking.
Pan Yin thought for a while and said, "It should be sixty years of fighting and three years of imprisonment."
Liu Bian hummed, Xia Houyuan probably deserved some credit for this treatment, otherwise Xia Houyuan's death penalty would have been more than enough.
And Cao Cao's "subjects replace themselves" is worth pondering.
In Liu Bian's plan, Lu Zhi was seriously ill, and the best replacement was Zhu Jun, but now it seems that once Zhu Jun leaves Qingzhou, Cao Cao will have no one to restrain him!
Qingzhou has just been pacified, and Cao Cao needs to guard it. For a while, he cannot be ordered to withdraw.
"Cao Cao..."
Liu Bian slowly deliberated in his heart. In the past, he was thinking about how to use it, but now he was thinking about how to use it with peace of mind.
"His Majesty,"
Pan Yin stood beside Liu Bian and said in a low voice: "It's getting late, Beijing has been asking His Majesty if it's right to return to Beijing."
Liu Bian came back to his senses and said, "Wang Yun's case is clear?"
Pan Yin said: "Yes. Xingcao has arrested all his party members, obtained confessions and criminal evidence, and has already gone to the Shangshutai."
'I hope that Wang Yun's head can be deterrent. '
Liu Bian thought to himself, and said, "Dianwei, go back to Beijing."
"Observe the order!" Dian Weiweng said in a loud voice, and with a wave of his hand, plainclothes guards all around appeared, standing in a forest.
Liu Bian got on the carriage, stepped on it with one foot, turned his head suddenly, looked at Sima Fang, and said, "The Qing family, are you really not familiar with Cao Cao?"
Sima Fang was taken aback, with doubts on his face, he raised his hand and said, "I am indeed not familiar with General Cao."
Liu Bian smiled, put his hands together, and got into the carriage.
Sima Fang was puzzled, wondering why Liu Bian asked twice.
Sitting in the carriage, Liu Bian flipped through the information about the Forbidden Army Camp.
These are all written by Lu Zhi himself, covering the number of troops, training, military system, tactics, etc., and you can tell that countless painstaking efforts have been spent at a glance.
Judging from this manuscript, the actual number of soldiers in the Forbidden Army camp has reached 20, and this does not include the "temporary recruitment" and "surrender" of the leading generals.
For example, Cao Cao recruited and surrendered an army of more than [-] troops composed of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, but only [-] in the number of the Forbidden Army Battalion.
And this '20' army, in addition to guarding the northern states, there are [-] in the Sanfu Land, and [-] in the Forbidden Army Camp.
The imperial army guarding Luoyang is [-], and the Habayashi army is [-].
The sum of these various numbers startled Liu Bian.
"I don't even know, I have so many soldiers and horses..."
Liu Bian muttered to himself in a daze.
He was shocked. Moreover, the '20' is not the real number. Once the soldiers and horses recruited privately by generals, state shepherds and county guards are counted, this number will more than double!
"I still have to clean up..."
Liu Bian frowned slowly.
One Cao Cao is enough for him to have a headache.
But these generals with heavy troops in their hands are not those unarmed civil servants. Not only can the court not use force, but they have to be coaxed carefully.
"Still not strong enough..." Liu Bian said to himself.
If the imperial court was strong enough, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
I overestimated my brain and my hand speed, and the flag fell.
I only wrote [-] words o(╥﹏╥)o
