Han family achievements

Chapter 274 Waiting for His Majesty to return to Beijing

Liu Bian looked at Liu Yu and said nothing for a long time.

Liu Yu's attitude is very similar to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao couldn't wait to ask for a battle. Maybe he didn't have a far-sighted view like Liu Yu, but they were unanimous in their actions. They all wanted to send troops to conquer all disobedients and calm down the troubled times.

The juniors such as Lu Yu, Cao Ang, and Sima Yi beside them seemed to have some intention, and their eyes were turning around on Liu Yu and Liu Bian.

Pan Yin bowed, showing no emotion on his face.

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he waited for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Ni is at the end of his rope. Even though Jiangdong has his own ideas, the imperial court's will is still respected. Yuan Ni will be destroyed this year! As for Dong Zhuo and his like, they are nothing but local chickens and dogs. , there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as your Majesty issues the decree and the soldiers use their lives to put down the rebellion, it will be just around the corner!"

Liu Bian's eyes were half-closed, staring at Liu Yu, and said slowly: "Do you think these words of the Qing family alone, or do some Qing family members also think so?"

Liu Yu remained calm and said, "I dare not hide this from Your Majesty. Some of my colleagues think so."

Liu Bian nodded slightly and picked up the tea cup, but did not drink it, as thoughts were swirling in his mind.

Liu Yu's remarks obviously did not just come to his mind, but were probably carefully considered.Moreover, all the way from Youzhou to Beijing, Liu Yu met Ying Shao, Zhu Jun and many other state pastors, county guards, and generals.

Are these people also eager to put an end to the chaos?
Don't they know the truth and falsehood of the imperial court?
"Qing family, have you met Grand Sima?" Liu Bian, a Turkic man, said with burning eyes and a calm tone.

Liu Yu couldn't help but bowed, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I have not met Da Sima yet, but I have written letters with Da Sima to explain strategies to quell the chaos."

Liu Bian took a sip of tea, and his inner analysis gradually came to fruition.

Liu Yu is the "warrior" of celebrities, and he is quite radical.

In the imperial court, Liu Bian's strategy since he succeeded to the throne has been to go north first and then south. Now the north, except for Liangzhou, has been basically pacified.The general direction of the policy is to promote the "New Deal", restore the reputation, and accumulate strength for the court.

Liu Yu, on the other hand, advocated quelling chaos first and then governing the world, which was in obvious contradiction with his national policy.

But Liu Yu is not alone. Zhu Jun, Ying Shao, and even Huangfu Song are more or less the 'main war faction'.

Perhaps, we have to add Cao Cao.

'After such a calculation, the power of the main war faction is not simple...'

Liu Bian remained calm, put down his teacup, and said, "The Qing family thinks that if the chaos is to be quelled, who would be more suitable as the commander-in-chief?"

"Da Sima." Liu Yu blurted out almost without thinking.

In today's Han Dynasty, the most powerful 'martial arts' person is Huangfu Song. In addition, to suppress those people with ulterior motives in the south, there is almost no other candidate other than Huangfu Song.

Liu Bian shook his head and said, "Huangfuqing's family has been sick frequently recently, so it is not appropriate to go out to the capital to lead troops."

Liu Yu paused for a moment and said: "I would like to take General Cao Cao as your commander-in-chief."

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows and immediately said: "Cao Cao does not have enough prestige and has a rift with the imperial court. If he is the commander-in-chief, the imperial court will not agree."

In the eyes of the imperial court, Cao Cao acted absurdly, did not obey the imperial orders, and acted recklessly. He was regarded as "Dong Zhuo's second". How could Cao Cao be allowed to command hundreds of thousands of troops in the south.

Liu Yu saw that Liu Bian did not agree with his "confidant generals", and vaguely guessed something, but still refused to give up, saying: "Your Majesty, I request you to lead the troops to suppress the bandits!"

Liu Bian waved his hand and said: "Qing family, it's too early now. The prime minister has already expressed his intention to leave. Who do you think the Qing family thinks will be a better successor?"

Liu Yu sighed inwardly. His Majesty in front of him would not change his mind easily after all.

"I believe that Zhong Yao has outstanding abilities and noble conduct, and can be the prime minister." Liu Yu said without thinking much, raising his hand.

Zhong Yao is also the prime minister whom many people in the government and the public agree on.

Although Liu Yu's return to Beijing caused a lot of turmoil, the 'Yingchuan Party' straddled the government and the public, and Zhong Yao was still the one with the loudest voice.

"How is Xun Yu?" Liu Bian asked suddenly without waiting for Liu Yu's reaction.

Liu Yu was startled, looked at Liu Bian, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, are you talking about Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo?"

Xun Yu was only in his early thirties this year. It had only been three years since he became an official. He was promoted to the position of Hucao Shangshu. This was because the fashion desk had not been restructured at that time and the quality of the "Shangshu" was extremely low.

Now to be promoted to prime minister is simply unbelievable!
Xun Yu was a low-key person who did not compete or rob, so his reputation was not as good as Zhong Yao's. Jun, He Yong, Liu Dai and so on.

Xun Yu has no reputation and is young. As prime minister, can he suppress the government and the opposition? Can he cope with the extremely complicated situation in front of him?

"Yes." Liu Bian said with a smile.

Liu Bian frowned deeply, thinking about Xun Yu, and analyzing the situation of the court, fighting: "Your Majesty, I think Zhong Yao may be more suitable than him."

Liu Bian shook his head with a smile and said: "The Zhong Qing family is indeed outstanding in ability and conduct, but they do not have the ability to lead the court. I have also inspected other Qing families. Generally speaking, Xun Yu is the most suitable."

Liu Yu and Liu Bian looked at each other, clearly feeling Liu Bian's firmness.

Moreover, he also heard another meaning from Liu Bian's words: someone needs to recommend him!

Liu Yu thought for a while, raised his hand and said, "I understand."

For Liu Yu, there is actually no difference between Xun Yu and Zhong Yao. They are both the leaders of the "Yingchuan Party", and there is no difference who becomes the prime minister.

Behind Liu Bian, Lu Yu, Cao Ang, Sima Yi and others were quietly concentrating, bowing their heads, feeling nervous.

Although they are still young, they are all extremely smart people.

The majesty in front of them shook out the 'new prime minister' in front of them, which was probably a hint.

Seeing Liu Yu agree, Liu Bian suddenly felt refreshed. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He felt the fragrance lingering in his mouth and the aftertaste was endless. He couldn't help but said: "Please give it a try. This is probably the best thing I have ever cooked." .”

Liu Yu picked up the tea cup, took a sip of the tea that had already cooled down, and said, "Good tea."

The tea is good tea, but the taste is actually average.

With Liu Yu taking the lead, Liu Bian settled his last concern and said with a smile: "Qing's family, do you want to enter the Chancellor's Stand, the Censor's Stand, or the Grand Sima's Mansion?"

In the current Han Dynasty, according to regulations, the Shangshutai is in charge of government, the Dasima Palace is in charge of the monarch, and the Yushitai is in charge of supervision. The two platforms and one palace are the highest institutions and govern the world.

Among the speculations about Liu Yu's whereabouts by the government and the public, the most important one is Yushitai.

Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, is in charge of the censorship. No matter how you look at it, it is neither fish nor fowl. Someone should fill the vacancy of the censor Zhongcheng.

Liu Yu's expression did not change and he said: "I will obey your will."

Liu Bian hummed and said: "Then go to Da Sima's Mansion and take over Lu Zhi's position. Lu Yu, take Liu Qing's family to Da Sima's Mansion to see Da Sima's Mansion."

Liu Yu was surprised. He didn't expect that his final destination would be Da Sima's Mansion!
However, he was calm. He stood up and raised his hand and said, "Master, accept the order and thank you."

Liu Bian watched Liu Yu's back, and then talked to Cao Ang and Sima Yi behind him, and said with a smile: "How are your homework lately?" Cao Ang and Sima Yi actually raised their hands at the same time and said: "Your Majesty, I am meticulous and dare not slack off. .”

Liu Bian looked at the two of them for a moment and said, "Well, I'll give you a day off and go out to play in the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Although the two of them were only over ten years old, they were quite calm and stepped back and left.

After the two of them left, Liu Bian picked up the teapot, poured tea by himself, and said, "Pan Yin, who do you think is the most useful among these little guys?"

Pan Yin immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I see that these young gentlemen will be the pillars of the imperial court in the future, and they can share your worries for your Majesty."

Liu Bian smiled and put down the teapot.

Lu Yu, Cao Ang, Sima Yi and other juniors are pillars and talents, but whether they can share his worries depends on how the situation develops.

If the Han Dynasty continues to recover stably and does not continue to fall apart, then it will still be what the people want, and these people will be 'loyal and good ministers'.

But if it is not satisfactory, then you have different ideas.

Liu Bian took another sip of tea, stood up and said, "Dian Wei, take the people to the Forbidden Army camp."

Dian Wei's eyes lit up and he said in a loud voice: "Yes!"

Compared to the boring palace, Dian Wei still yearned for the military camp. He now had a special status and was not afraid of being bullied. Instead, he felt more free in the military camp. The atmosphere fascinated him.

Pan Yin was a little confused.

Liu Yu entered the capital, and the new prime minister emerged. It won't be long before the government and the public are sure to explode. How could His Majesty leave Luoyang at this time and go to the Forbidden Army camp?

Naturally, Liu Bian did not explain to him. He walked a few steps and said, "Bring Shaoer and Liu Xie with you."

Pan Yin responded quickly, preparing and dispatching manpower.

Not long after, Liu Bian rode out of the Suzaku Gate and left Luoyang, surrounded by countless people.

This scene fell in everyone's eyes and immediately aroused countless discussions.

The first person to get the news was Liucao's official residence on Imperial Street outside the palace gate.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Yao and others already knew the news coming from the palace, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Xun You still couldn't believe it, looked at Zhong Yao and said, "Is the news true?"

Zhong Yao glanced at Xun Yu, nodded and said: "Many people were present at that time. The news came from the Grand Sima Mansion. Cao Ang and Sima Yi behind him also said the same thing."

Xun You looked at the clan uncle opposite and said: "So, His Majesty has already made up his mind. He asked us to write a letter to recommend him through the mouths of several children."

Xun Yu felt equally surprised and shocked in his heart, but his face didn't change much.

Thinking about what Liu Bian said to him that day, I felt the weight on my shoulders.

Choosing him as the new prime minister clearly means preparing for the "dividing of land acres".

And the two people in front of them have already expressed their attitude - opposition!
Zhong Yao also thought that the 'Prime Minister' was watching, but he didn't expect Xun Yu to appear halfway. Although there was not much color on his face, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

When he saw that Xun Yu was silent, he felt a move in his heart and said, "Wen Ruo, have you known this for a long time?"

Xun You's expression changed when he heard this, and he remembered what this clan uncle had hidden from them during this period, and he couldn't help but said solemnly: "Clan uncle, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xun Yu shook his head and said, "It's something else. Your Majesty has never mentioned a word to me about the Prime Minister."

Xun You felt relieved. If Xun Yu hid such a thing from him, it wouldn't just be as simple as creating a rift.

Zhong Yao thought more and said: "Your Majesty promotes you, does it require you to do certain things?"

Xun Yu pondered for a long time, but decided to hide it, saying: "There are some thorny issues. Now it is even more thorny. There must be many people supporting Princess Liu's battle. Plus Cao Cao in Qiao County, there is no telling when another big change will happen."

Cao Cao single-handedly changed the war situation in the south. Now Liu Yu, who is leading the battle, has come to Da Sima's mansion. The two of them singing and harmonizing may once again trigger changes in the war situation in the south.

Xun You ignored his clan uncle's change of subject and said, "How difficult is it?"

Xun Yu looked at Xun You and Zhong Yao and saw their serious expressions. He said calmly: "It's more difficult than you expected. It's not bad government, it's more destructive than bad government."

Xun You and Zhong Yao looked at each other, both of them silent.

They all noticed that Xun Yu still refused to reveal anything.This shows that this matter is indeed 'very difficult'. It was so difficult that Xun Yu, who had always been calm, was in trouble and could not open his mouth.

After being quiet for a while, Zhong Yao said: "Now that the dust has settled on the new prime minister, my guess is that Gongda will be promoted soon."

Gongda, the word of Xun You.

"Zuopushe?" Xun You guessed it instantly.

But immediately, he became a little uneasy and said: "Then, what should we do with the household officials and the officials?"

Zhong Yao was promoted to Youpushe, and Tingwei fell into the hands of Wang Lang, a member of Yang Biao's party.

And if Xun Yu is promoted to prime minister, who will succeed Cao Shangshu?
If Xun You is promoted to Zuopushe, what about the officials?
Hucao was in charge of land, taxation, and population. In terms of power and influence, to a certain extent, he was more important than the Chancellor.

The Li Cao is in charge of the "Li Ke". The selection, promotion, and dismissal of officials are all done by the Li Cao. In terms of power and influence, they surpass the other five Cao Cao.

If these two positions are lost, Xun You thinks, then it’s okay not to use the left and right servants.

Xun Yu couldn't help but sit up straight, looked at Zhong Yao and said, "Yuan Chang, is there any news?"

Xun Yu had many plans for Li Cao, some of which had not yet been implemented, some were halfway through, and some were nearing the end. If the people were changed, many important things would definitely fall short!
Zhong Yao shook his head and said: "No. Your Majesty just leaked the information about the new prime minister. However, based on my speculation, your Majesty may hand over the household and official affairs to someone unexpected from 'Yingchuan' in order to balance the situation of the court."

"I remember that Cao Ang and Sima Yi were in Fanglin Garden at that time,"

Xun You's mind was sharp, and he seemed to have caught something in an instant, and said: "Your Majesty will go to the Forbidden Army camp, will you meet Sima Fang, the governor of Hedong?"

Xun You's meaning is very simple. Since the junior Sima Yi of the Sima family is present, could it be that His Majesty in the palace hinted that he wants to promote people from the Sima family?

And Cao Cao would also recommend someone?
Hearing this, Zhong Yao thought carefully and said: "Liu Gong succeeded Lu Gong, and may also succeed Grand Sima in the future. This gives Cao Cao time. Perhaps this is your Majesty's arrangement."

Xun Yu thought it made sense, but felt that something was wrong, and said: "Since His Majesty has leaked the news, it will probably be decided soon. We don't need to guess anymore, and we will wait for His Majesty to return to Beijing."

'Waiting for His Majesty to return to Beijing'. After returning to Beijing, it will be time for Prime Minister Yang Biao to 'take office' and Xun Yu to take office.

The Han court is about to change its blood!
