Han family achievements

Chapter 260 Understatement
The first person to learn from Hongdu Sect was Bian Rang, the minister of Taichang Temple.

He is a person who is known for his rigorous study. His face is as sharp as a knife and his eyes are as bright as thunder.

But he was not a pedantic person. After learning the outline of the matter, he stood at the door and waited for others.

A group of teaching doctors from Hongdu School frightened and walked back to the door from all corners. They looked at Bian Rang with uneasy expressions and "complained" to Bian Rang.

"Taichang, this, this, Yong there... it's none of our business..."

"Yes, we are only responsible for teaching. We don't know about those things..."

"Brother Bian, you, you have to protect us..."

Bian Rang Tie's face was livid, and he couldn't listen to these nonsense words at all. He was now thinking about how to protect himself.

At this time, the pot-bellied Prime Minister Yang Biao arrived second, wiping his sweat as he walked, even swaying and unable to stand at all.

Bian Rang immediately greeted him, raised his hand and said, "Prime Minister, Your Majesty is inside."

Yang Biao wiped his sweat, his face full of anger and annoyance, and cursed: "What a good thing you did!"

Bian Rang smiled bitterly and said, "Prime Minister, it's now this time. Even if you kill me, His Majesty's anger will not be quelled."

Yang Biao became even more hateful and sweaty on his face. He turned to look at the door, came closer, and whispered: "Tell me honestly, have you participated in these things?"

Bian Rang raised his hand and said with a firm and sincere expression: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I will not have any involvement in this!"

After listening to this, Yang Biao felt a little relieved and said again: "Hongdu School, Taixue, how many things are you hiding from me?"

He moved the corners of his face and said, "I don't know about this."

Yang Biao's eyes widened, showing a rare killing intent.

Bian Rang was slightly startled and said quickly: "Prime Minister, you also know. Who are the students in Taixue? You can control those students, but you can't control their backs. The same goes for Hongdu School. It’s complicated, there are everyone in it, and the subordinates can’t do everything personally. I really don’t know how much His Majesty knows...”

Cold sweat broke out on Yang Biao's face, and he was extremely panicked.

Everyone has known for a long time that the Hongdu School and the Imperial School are in chaos.

But since a few years ago, the palace has been emphasizing the importance of "education". It has given many instructions to Hongdu Menxue and Taixue, and made repeated secret inspections.

I never expected that I would be bumped into by the palace!
When Bian Rang saw that Yang Biao was silent, he said: "Prime Minister, no matter what, you have to save me today..."

Yang Biao snorted angrily and wanted to scold him, but seeing so many people at the door, he had to hold back and said: "When you go in later, act according to the situation and don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Bian Rang responded repeatedly, completely losing the rigidity and severity he used to have in his academic studies.

At this moment, Fu Wan, Sima Jun, and Zhong Yao arrived almost at the same time. Except for Sima Jun, who was expressionless, the other two people had nervous expressions on their faces.

"Prime Minister, this..." Fu Wan came closer and stopped talking.

As the chief official of Yushitai, it stands to reason that his status is equal to that of the Prime Minister, or even slightly higher.However, the status of the Secretariat was highlighted after Liu Bian's repeated reforms. In addition, Fu Wan was Liu Xie's father-in-law, which actually lowered the status of the Secretariat.

When Yang Biao saw the chief officer of the Three Laws Division, he said with a sullen face: "Now that the time has come, you don't have to hide it. Tell me honestly, how dirty is there in Hongdu School and Taixue? "

After hearing this, Fu Wan turned to Sima Jun and Zhong Yao.

Sima Jun, as the Minister of Xing Cao, paused for a moment and said: "Prime Minister, Xing Cao has indeed investigated some cases of Hongdu Sect. Most of them were fights and the like, and no such loans were found."

Zhong Yao said: "The Tingwei Mansion has not informed anyone about the students of Taixue and Hongdu Sect."

Yang Biao suddenly laughed angrily, glared at the three of them, and said: "At this time, you can push it clean! You are not afraid to go in and see His Majesty later. The truth is that I will first accuse you three!"

Seeing that Yang Biao was furious, Fu Wan quickly whispered: "Prime Minister, this incident happened suddenly and we didn't know about it. Please prime minister to correct it in front of His Majesty."

The current situation in the DPRK seems to be stable, but in fact there are crises everywhere. It cannot be said that everyone is in danger, but it is not a peaceful time either.

Bian Rang followed closely and said: "Prime Minister, can you persuade your Majesty to leave these matters to Taichang Temple for handling?"

Yang Biao wiped his sweat, sneered when he heard this, and said: "Do you think you can still protect the Taichang Temple Minister? Do you think His Majesty called us here to intercede for you?!"

Bian Rang's expression changed, and seeing Yang Biao so panicked, he felt even more uneasy.

"My lords,"

At this time, Liu Xie came to the door, looked at Yang Biao, and while waiting for everyone, said: "Your Majesty is waiting inside."

When Yang Biao saw Liu Xie, he ignored the courtesy and ran over in small steps and whispered: "King of Bohai, your majesty, are you angry?"

Liu Xie turned around and walked in side by side with Yang Biao, saying in a low voice: "Prime Minister, this is too much."

Yang Biao couldn't stop the cold sweat on his face. He looked inside with a dry mouth and said: "King Bohai, if so, please help me later."

Fu Wan chased after him and said: "King Bohai, you must not, you must not start a big fight..." Liu Xie looked at his father-in-law, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered what they had discussed a few days ago, and his face gradually became serious.

The imperial court has always been in turmoil, and many things have happened in the past six months, especially Yang Biao's position as prime minister, which has been on the verge of collapse several times, but has been as stable as Mount Tai, and he has been sitting there until now.

Behind them, Sima Jun and Zhong Yao each had their own expressions. They followed Liu Xie and Yang Biao to the library.

In front of the library, there were many guards. Two embarrassed young men were escorted to their knees on the ground. Liu Bian, who was very eye-catching, sat on the steps with a thick account book in his hand.

Everywhere in the library, there were crowds of people, looming, and no one knew how many people were quietly watching.

Yang Biao, while letting the others see this scene, felt anxious and strode forward.

"Your Majesty, Yang Biao/Fu Wan/Zhong Yao/Sima Jun/Bianjian."

The five people arrived at the steps and all raised their hands in greeting.

Liu Bian said yes, looked up at everyone, and said with a smile: "No courtesy. I have looked at this account book. In addition to the imperial court's allocation, there are also a lot of donations from the gentry everywhere. The expenditure list is also very detailed. It seems that Hong Dumen School is indeed doing well."

The five people listened to Liu Bian's "praise", their scalps tightened inexplicably, and no one dared to say a word.

Liu Xie stood aside and caught a glimpse of Yang Biao's trembling figure. He hesitated for a moment and stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Hongdu School currently has more than twelve buildings and more than five students. Wan, the things involved are complicated and difficult to describe. Hongdu School and Taichang Temple still have a lot of credit."

Liu Bian glanced at him, then looked at Yang Biao, Bian Rang, and the chief officer of the Sanfa Department. He stood up with a smile, patted his butt, and said casually: "What the emperor said is . The Prime Minister presides over the office of the Chancellor and leads hundreds of officials. His hard work has made great achievements, so he should be rewarded and his merits should be described in detail."

Yang Biao was displeased and was surprised. He raised his hand and said, "I am useless because of my incompetence. Your Majesty..."

Liu Bian waved his hand and said: "The Qing family does not need to be humble. In a few days, the Qing family will inspect the third assistant on my behalf, and also go back to Hongnong to have a look. The Qing family has not been back for many years, right?"

Yang Biao was stunned again and again, unable to react for a while.

'On behalf of me'?
While giving way, Fu Wan and others also looked surprised and did not dare to look up, but their eyes kept flickering.

His Majesty did not even mention such a big thing as the Hongdu Sect, but instead wanted to reward the Prime Minister heavily. What is the reason for this?
"Let's be here today."

Liu Bian patted his butt again, held the somewhat sleepy Liu Yu in his arms, and left directly.

This time it was not just Yang Biao, Fu Wan and others were stunned, Liu Xie was also confused.

But no one dared to ask, so they could only send Liu Bian off respectfully.

"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty!" Everyone raised their hands and watched Liu Bian leading a large group of people meandering towards the gate of Hongdu School.

It wasn't until Liu Bian walked away that everyone slowly stood up. You looked at me and I looked at you, with no look of relief or relaxation on their faces.

Your Majesty summoned the Prime Minister and the Three Law Commissioners for such a big matter. Not only did he not mention it at all, but he also wanted to reward the Prime Minister heavily?
Bian Rang was the most frightened. He raised his hand and tremblingly said to Yang Biao: "Prime Minister, please save my Taichang Temple!"

Yang Biao is now two heads tall, his neck is getting cold, and his fat face is even pale.

It stands to reason that he is responsible for what happened today, but it is not a big one and he can completely shirk it.

But there is no such thing as "hard work pays off"!
After Fu finished, Zhong Yao, Sima Jun and others were silent, thinking about Liu Bian's unexpected reaction in their hearts, and ignored Bian Rang's request for help.

Your Majesty didn't mention a word. It's not that he doesn't care and just let it go, but that there will be thunder!

The longer this brews, the more powerful the thunder will be!
"Uncle, save me!" Yang Biao didn't respond. Bian Yong, not far away, crawled over, hugged Bian Rang's legs and cried.

Having offended His Majesty, Bian Yong, who used to be arrogant and domineering and looked down upon by everyone, now felt scared.

Bian Rang frowned, kicked him over, and cursed angrily: "Evil beast!"

After saying that, he looked at the three people from the Sanfa Department and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, everything is the fault of this evil beast. Please take him away for strict investigation!"

After laying down, Zhong Yao and Sima Jun looked at Bian Yong who crawled over and cried again, but no one spoke.

Yang Biao's mind was buzzing, and he couldn't figure out Liu Bian's purpose. He wanted to end it as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible, so he frowned and said: "This matter belongs to Xing Cao, Sima Shangshu, you can take them away."

Sima Jun's old face was calm and he said: "Back to the Prime Minister, this matter has been heard by heaven, and it also involves the minister of Taichang Temple. It is beyond the scope of the Xingcao to investigate and deal with it. It should be sorted out by the Yushitai."

After Fu Wan's heart skipped a beat, he didn't dare to take on this hot potato, and he quickly said: "The Yushitai monitors hundreds of officials, but they have not been appointed officials in the past few days. The Yushitai cannot exceed their authority."

Seeing their evasion, Yang Biao looked at Zhong Yao and said, "How about the Tingwei Mansion directly intervene?"

Zhong Yao bowed and said: "Returning to the Prime Minister, will the Tingwei Mansion start the trial directly?"

Yang Biao frowned deeply, and his frown hurt.

These three judges shied away from each other, which made him even more irritated, who was already restless.
