Han family achievements

Chapter 261
Yang Biao stared at the three of them, anger written all over his fat face.

But these three people are unusual. He can't give orders to the censor Zhongcheng. Zhong Yao's Tingwei Mansion is not affiliated with Shangshutai, and he is a close associate of the emperor, so he can't be forced to come.

There is only one Sima Jun left, and he cannot accomplish anything alone.

Bian Rang watched from the side, his heart was in his throat, and he could only wait in fear.

Yang Biao was now filled with the few words Liu Bian had just said, praising him and asking him to go back to Hongnong to see what the profound meaning was. Yang Biao could not calm down and think about it.

I also saw that the three people from the Sanfa Division were shirking each other and refusing to take charge of the affairs. They became more and more irritable. They straightened up their belly and said in a deep voice: "It's useless for you to tell me. I will limit you to today. According to this detailed report, if there is any delay, , I will be the first to resign!"

After laying down, Zhong Yao and Sima Jun couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Yang Biao's harsh words.

If the Prime Minister were to resign, then the three of them would be "unforgivably guilty".

Fu Wan stared at Sima Jun and said: "Sima Shangshu, Xing Cao should be responsible for this case."

Sima Jun glanced at Bian Rang and said calmly: "Fu Zhongcheng, Bian Taichang is the hand of Jiuqing, and the lower officials have no right to investigate."

Bian Rang stood aside with a hard face, not daring to interrupt at all.

This incident happened in Hongdu Menxue, and he couldn't bear the blame. He just wanted to preserve it and not expand it infinitely.

Fu Wan frowned. Sima Jun's words made sense. He couldn't help but look at Zhong Yao. This chief 'judge' could basically be ruled out.

Therefore, in this case, only Yushitai and Xingcao can distinguish.

Fu Wan absolutely did not want to take it. The palace was obviously very angry about this case and was holding back. Who knew what kind of thunder was brewing.

Everyone fell silent, wanting to stay out of it.

Yang Biao's little eyes widened, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, okay! You are indeed capable ministers and officials of my court. I will go back and write a resignation letter right away!"

With that said, Yang Biao turned around and left.

After laying down, Sima Jun, Zhong Yao and others were shocked. They couldn't let Yang Biao leave at this time.

Before they could say anything, a young man with a white face and a smile walked up not far away.

Yang Biao looked at the two of them, his heart skipped a beat, and he puffed out his belly more and more, making a majestic look.

Zuo Li raised his hand and said, "I have seen the Prime Minister."

Yang Biao didn't speak, his thoughts were changing rapidly.

After lying down, Sima Jun and Zhong Yao looked at Zuo Li and subconsciously became vigilant.

This person has been 'missing' for more than two years, and the Huangmen Beisi Prison has also kept a low profile for two years, but everyone knows what this person is doing secretly.

Many people who have 'disappeared' in both the government and the public are in the Huangmen Beisi Prison.

With a respectful smile on his face, Zuo Li looked around at everyone and said, "Masters, if you are in trouble, how about leaving this matter to a villain?"

Zuo Li's words were a discussion, but no one knew that this person probably came with a decree.

Yang Biao put his hands behind his back and said angrily: "There is no objection to the truth."

Fu Wan regretted it very much. If he had known it earlier, he would have done it next.

Sima Jun remained silent, but held the crutch in his hand a little tighter.

Zhong Yao looked serious and thoughtful.

Seeing that no one was talking, Zuo Li smiled and waved his hand gently.

More than 40 red-clad guards appeared out of nowhere and dragged Bian Yong and the disheveled young man away.

"Uncle, uncle, save me, save me..." Bian Yong shouted, his voice full of fear.

While Rang watched Bian Yong being taken away, he also knew where the Huangmen North Temple Prison was. He hesitated again and again and said to Yang Biao's back: "Prime Minister, this matter is a small case..."

"Bian Taichang,"

Zuo Li interrupted Bian Rang's words and said with a smile: "I wonder if you are free tomorrow and come to my Huangmen North Temple Prison to sit for a while?"

Yang Biao's expression suddenly changed, and he said to Zuo Li with a stern face: "He is the head of the Nine Qings. Without my permission, Huangmen North Temple Prison cannot arrest him!"

Zuo Li pretended to be stunned and said: "Prime Minister, the villain is telling me that tomorrow, Bian Taichang will be free and go to my Huangmen North Temple Prison to sit for a while. When did you say you were going to take him?"

Yang Biao was not afraid of Zuo Li. He snorted coldly and said, "I hope you keep your word, otherwise I will never give in when the lawsuit comes before the emperor!"

Zuo Li didn't care about Yang Biao's attitude, he still smiled and said: "The villain has taken note of the Prime Minister's words."

After everyone was taken away, Zuo Li looked around again and left with relief.

Yang Biao stared at his back, thinking about Liu Bian's words, and became increasingly uneasy.

When Zuo Li walked away, Fu Wan couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Yang Biao: "Prime Minister, please change this matter."

It seemed to be an inconspicuous matter within the Hongdu School, but it was caught by the palace, and His Majesty in the palace did not mention it at all - a violent storm seemed to be above their heads!

Yang Biao was now more irritable than anyone else. He snorted coldly and strode away.

Fu Wan looked at his back and had no choice but to turn to Sima Jun and Zhong Yao.

Both of them were speechless and didn't want to get involved.

Fu Wan sighed secretly in his heart, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness that made him at a loss what to do.

At the moment, Liu Bian was shopping with Liu Yu, buying him some food and toys from time to time. He looked up at the bright sky and said, "Yu'er, it will be winter in a while. We can't mess around anymore." Ran."

The little guy bit the pastry and responded vaguely.

Liu Bian knew that this little guy was worried, so he thought he would have to lock him up for a while when he went back.

"His Majesty,"

Liu Xie came forward at this moment, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, should we clarify the decree? Taichang Temple has jurisdiction over Hongdu Sect School and Taixue School. It is related to the end of the year ceremony, so the case should be concluded as soon as possible."

"Royal father,"

Before Liu Bian could speak, Liu Yu suddenly raised his head, looked at Liu Bian, and said in a sweet voice, "Are you angry?"

Liu Bian lowered his head and looked at him with a smile, and said, "Father is very happy. How can you tell that Father is angry?" Liu Yu blinked, stared at Liu Bian and said, "Father is just angry."

Liu Bian felt inexplicably more and more angry. He reached out and touched his head. He smiled more and said, "Well, a little bit."

"Father lied!"

The little guy quit, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Father is obviously very angry."

Liu Bian frowned and frowned, feeling suffocated in his heart.

After sitting on the throne for a long time, Liu Bian found more and more that he was not capable of many things. Even though he gave repeated orders and inspected many times, this kind of thing still happened.

Moreover, there was still a lot of evil hidden under the water that he didn't know about and didn't want to know.

"It's okay, it will be fine after a while." Liu Bian said to Liu Yu with a smile.

Liu Yu hummed, handed a piece of pastry to Liu Bian, and said, "Father, eat it, and you won't be angry after eating it."

Liu Bian took it and put it in his mouth, looking forward, thinking about this opportunity.

Liu Xie didn't dare to speak anymore. He looked at Liu Yu who continued to eat pastries and thought to himself: Is there no one in the entire Han Dynasty who can persuade this imperial brother?
Liu Bian took the little guy around Luoyang and wanted him to have a good time.

On the other side, Yang Biao hurried back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Wang Lang was already waiting.

Yang Biao didn't care about anything else. He drank a pot of cold tea in big gulps first, then with wide eyes, he told Wang Lang everything about Hongdu Sect's studies.

Especially Liu Bian's words were emphasized to Wang Lang.

Finally, Yang Biao looked at him and said, "Tell me, is His Majesty hinting that it's time for me to retire?"

Wang Lang frowned, his face full of hard thinking.

As he became an official for longer and longer, Wang Lang lost the calmness of a bystander. Being in the middle of the situation, his mind was filled with worries.

He thought about it, but still shook his head and said: "There is no candidate in the court who can replace you. Zhu Jun and Liu Yu have left the capital, and Zhang Wen is even less likely. If we really want to replace you, we must at least enrich the minister first. The stage is just for setting the stage."

Hearing this, Yang Biao felt depressed and said, "Your Majesty didn't mention anything about the Hongdu Sect, but instead gave me gentle words to comfort me. This is so strange."

Wang Lang also knew that there must be something wrong, but he couldn't think clearly, and said: "I heard that Da Sima has been in poor health recently."

Yang Biao was startled and said: "Why did you suddenly mention him? Are you talking about Cao Mengde?"

Wang Lang kept frowning and said: "He is not qualified enough. What I mean is that His Majesty may want to make another change in the court situation."

Yang Biao thought for a moment and said, "How to change?"

After Liu Bian succeeded to the throne, the central official system could be said to have changed again and again, elevating the chancellery, devaluing the nine ministers, abolishing the three ministers, reinstating the prime minister, and constantly dividing the powers and responsibilities of the Yushitai, Tingwei Mansion, etc.

Now, the government is becoming more and more stable, and everyone thinks that the palace will not reform the official system again.

Wang Lang glanced at Yang Biao and said, "I guess your Majesty may want to depose the Prime Minister."

Yang Biao's heart skipped a beat, his face changed, and he said with a trembling tone: "Are you going to depose the Prime Minister?"

'Deposing the prime minister' requires sufficient reasons or a sufficient number of heads.

Wang Lang showed hesitation and said: "It's all guesswork and cannot be calculated. However, it is right for you to resign. Let's retreat first and see how the palace reacts."

Yang Biao breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried, his fat face remained stern.

Although he admits that he has "nothing to do but no fault", but when the court fights and his ministers are convicted, does it require actual evidence of guilt?
At the same time, Li Cao.

Zhong Yao, Xun You, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai were sitting across from each other, talking about Hongdu School.

Xi Zhi just finished listening and said with some emotion: "Master Bian and Duke Cai are both Confucian masters and should not become officials."

Bian Rang's reputation was higher than that of Cai Yong. The difference was that Cai Yong was keen on fame and fortune. Since Emperor Ling, he had been a guest of the powerful. Wherever there was excitement, he would be there.Bian Rang was a scholar who devoted himself to his studies and was a well-known Confucian at home.

Xun You didn't care much, and said, "How many people in this world are studying for the sake of not becoming an official?"

Xi Zhicai, Zhong Yao, and Xun Yu listened, but they didn't speak.

There are indeed people who do not want to be officials, and there are quite a few of them, but those who have not had this intention from the beginning are very rare.

Xun Yu was the most steady and calm, and said: "What do you think of this matter?"

Xi Zhicai was wrapped in his clothes sickly and said: "The Yushitai received many complaints about Hongdu Sect and Taixue, but once they went to investigate, they couldn't get any evidence. This time That is to say, His Majesty happened upon him, and when we go to investigate, I'm afraid there won't be any evidence except Nian Yong and Zhu Li's two confessions."

Xun You glanced at him and said with a serious expression: "As long as you want to investigate, you will not be unable to get evidence. The problem is how the palace considers it."

Zhong Yao was the only person present. He said solemnly: "I felt that His Majesty was very angry, but he suppressed it. Later, he called the Prime Minister, Fu Zhongcheng, Sima Shangshu and me over, but he didn't say a word. , I was wondering, did your Majesty take the opportunity to attack Jiu Qing?"

"Jiuqing" is a common saying. After reform, there are only seven temples in "Jiuqing".

Under a series of complicated and lengthy "New Deals", the rights of the Seven Temples were gradually reduced and they were continuously annexed by the Six Cao Temples.

Before anyone else could think about it, Xun Yu said, "I'm worried about the Prime Minister."

Xun You was startled and lost his voice: "Impossible!"

The ruling and opposition parties in Luoyang City have very mixed feelings about this "inaction" prime minister. Some people think that Yang Biao is "wise and open-minded, and does not pursue fame and fortune. When the Duke of Zhou is resurrected, Yiyi will be reborn." Others think that he is "eating in a state of inaction and cowardly." Turbid and mediocre, just take care of yourself'.

Of course, there are still a few people who think that Yang Biao's mind is deep and his city is like an abyss.

Generally speaking, most people hope that Yang Biao will leave.

Among them, there are Yang Biao's own reasons, and there are also elements of taking the blame for Liu Biao and the imperial court.

The problem is that the candidate for the next prime minister has always been shrouded in fog and has not surfaced.

Zhong Yao, Xi Zhicai mused, if Yang Biao is suddenly dismissed, it will undoubtedly be a huge shock to the government and the public.

Who the new prime minister is and what he thinks and does about the court situation will undoubtedly have the greatest impact on ministers like Liu Cao.

After all, Prime Minister Yang Biao is known for his "inaction", so we cannot expect the next one to do the same and relinquish power to Liu Cao.

A strange look appeared on Xun Yu's somewhat mature face, as if he had remembered something.
