Han family achievements

Chapter 286
Liu Bian smiled and reached out to take it, saying, "Brother, have you eaten?"

Liu Yu nodded heavily and said, "Brother Huang said it was delicious, so he asked me to give it to my father to try."

Liu Bian nodded, feeling strange.

Liu Shao has been with him since he was a child. Why don't you feel close to him?
"Let's go play." Liu Bian took a bite and said to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu stared at Liu Bian and said, "Father, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Liu Bian said with a smile and glanced at Liu Shao not far away.

Liu Yu was so happy that he ran towards Liu Shao and said loudly: "Brother, my father said it was delicious."

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, Liu Shao walked towards Liu Bian carrying the plate, handed it to Liu Bian, and said: "Father, eat."

Liu Bian felt the incomparable joy of an old father. He reached out and touched the little guy's head and said, "Okay, summer is here. My father will arrange a charcoal room in your palace so that it won't be too hot to sleep at night. "

"Thank you, Father." The little guy saluted politely, then turned around and left.

Liu Bian was not far away, but when he saw his two sons gathering together and whispering, as if discussing some important matter, he couldn't help but smile more, and the ordinary snacks in his hands were also very delicious.

When he turned around, Liu Yu raised his hand and was about to speak. Liu Bian's smile dropped, he waved his hand and said calmly: "Don't mention it again!"

Liu Yu's words came to his lips, but he was forced to hold them back.

Xun Yu and Zhong Yao glanced at Liu Yu, and if they wanted to agree, they could only get stuck in their throats.

The voice of "establishing a prince" spread throughout the government and the public, not only Xun Yu and Liu Yu, Yang Biao also mentioned it to Liu Bian before leaving.

These were the highest-level bureaucrats of the Han Dynasty, and their attitudes basically represented the court.

But Liu Bian refused without hesitation.

Liu Bian casually ate a few bites of pastry, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His eyes fell on the faces of Xun Yu and Zhong Yao, and said: "I am very dissatisfied with your policy agenda."

Xun You and Zhong Yao both bowed, knowing clearly in their hearts what the Majesty in front of them was dissatisfied with.

His Majesty wanted to completely solve the crux of the Han Dynasty's bad governance - land.

But they felt that this move was too dangerous to be carried out, at least not at the moment.

Even, it cannot be made public.

Otherwise, there will definitely be a huge wave. This 'wave' is enough to overturn the country!
The two of them looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes, their expressions tightened, and they felt uneasy.

They had doubts about the delay in issuing the imperial edict appointing the prime minister. Seeing Liu Bian's outspoken words, they couldn't help but think of something they had never thought of before - the prime minister may not have to be Xun Yu!
Xun Yu's qualifications were simply not enough, and there was great opposition from both the government and the public to his promotion to prime minister.

If the majesty in front of them is dissatisfied with them, they can completely change someone. There are many people in the government and the public who are more qualified than Xun Yu!

Compared to Xun Yu, Zhong Yao was more worried.

If Liu Bian just needs an obedient prime minister, then Xun Yu is not the only candidate, or even among the candidates!
If there were a 'strange' Prime Minister, their worries in the past might come true!

Liu Yu sat aside, watching the monarch and his ministers play riddles, his expression unmoving, and his mind constantly guessing.

It is obviously a big deal for the Yingchuan Party to openly confront His Majesty.

Especially the vague words made him unable to guess, which made him even more sure.

"Let's be here today."

After waiting for a long time, Liu Bian saw Xun Yu. Zhong Yao stood up without saying anything.

Xun Yu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhong Yao secretly touching his feet.

"I will send you to Your Majesty."

The three of them raised their hands and said with their own thoughts.

Liu Bian left the pavilion and went straight to play with his two sons.

Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, and Liu Yu walked to the door not far away and turned their heads in unison.

I saw that His Majesty did not know what he was talking to the two His Highnesses, and the three of them laughed together, which was very lively.

The three of them looked at each other without talking and left quietly.

There was no conversation all the way until they parted ways at the Jiade Hall, and Liu Yu pondered: "Xun Shangshu, Zhong Pu She, it doesn't stop. Is there something that the Grand Sima Mansion knows about?"

Zhong Yao intended to protect Xun Yu. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Liu has misunderstood. Everything has not yet been decided, so it is too early to say anything."

Seeing that Zhong Yao was still playing tricks, Liu Yu was silent for a moment and said: "Although I don't know what happened, according to my observation, what your Majesty wants is your attitude."

Zhong Yao looked at Liu Yu blankly, and then turned to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Liu's words are reasonable."

Liu Yu waited for a while, but the two people in front of him refused to reveal anything. They didn't want to stay any longer and turned back to Da Sima's Mansion.

After Liu Yu left, Zhong Yao said: "Wen Ruo, Mr. Liu is wrong. According to the current situation, dividing the land is not feasible. There is no reason for your majesty to be unclear. Therefore, they want us to express our position, not immediately Implement.”

There was nothing unusual on Xun Yu's somewhat mature face. He looked in the direction of Chongde Hall and said: "You and I both know that as long as we express our stance, His Majesty will definitely make preparations. Once there is any trouble, the world's noble families will be shocked. This is more powerful than the Yellow Turban Army. It’s more terrifying than Yuan Shu’s rebellion.”

Zhong Yao was just about to speak when he saw people coming and going. He pulled Xun Yu out of the palace and said in a low voice: "I heard dissatisfaction from your majesty's words just now. If we don't make our position clear, the ownership of the position of prime minister will not be returned." There’s suspense.”

Xun Yu's expression remained normal and he said, "I heard that His Majesty has summoned many people in the past few days, especially Sima Jun."

Zhong Yao naturally knew that, and thinking about Sima Jun, he became even more worried, saying: "Sima Jun works conscientiously in Xingcao and does not get involved in right and wrong. But no one could guess what he was thinking. The position of prime minister fell to him. I don’t know what changes will occur.”

"The edict for Sima Fang to be appointed as the pastor of Qingzhou has been issued," Xun Yu said.

Zhong Yao looked serious and said, "Are we really not going to express our position?"

Xun Yu's expression became rare, and his eyes were filled with thoughts.

Zhong Yao looked at his profile and didn't ask any questions. He also knew the seriousness of this matter.

His Majesty in the palace wants to solve the fundamental problem, but this fundamental problem has shaken the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Who can easily agree?

The bad thing about this is that the world is in chaos and the Han Dynasty suddenly collapses!
Neither of them spoke. Until they left the Zhuque Gate, Xun Yu had not made up his mind and said, "I'll think about it again."

Zhong Yao did not force him, but said, "Gongda, you have to find a way."

Xun You was the most opposed to 'dividing the land' - it was too crazy and dangerous!
Xun Yu nodded subconsciously, but suddenly looked at Zhong Yao.

The meaning behind Zhong Yao's words seems to be that he will agree?
Zhong Yao said: "Will you refuse His Majesty?"

Xun Yu frowned when Zhong Yao asked this question, and the balance in his heart began to tilt towards Liu Bian.

Da da da, donkey~
Suddenly, a fast horse arrived in front of Zhuque Gate, jumped off the horse, took the token and shouted: "Urgent message from Yangzhou, Imperial City!"

The guard guarding the door took a look and let him in.Xun Yu and Zhong Yao were attracted by him. After he disappeared, they looked away and continued to move forward.

Zhong Yao said: "I don't know what trouble Yuan Shu had."

Xun Yu said: "On the contrary, I am worried about Sun Jian and Liu Biao. There is news that these two people want to get married. Liu Biao lent Sun Jian [-] troops and horses, and also a lot of money and food."

Zhong Yao didn't know the news yet and said with some surprise: "So, they really decided to carve up the territory of the southern states?"

Xun Yu paced, his face full of thought, and said: "The situation in the south is too complicated, we have to wait and see. But I have a hunch that your Majesty may be planning something."

Zhong Yao was startled and said, "Your Majesty promised Liu Gong and Cao Cao?"

Liu Yu was the main militant. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he bluntly said to Liu Bian, "The first priority now is to eliminate the banditry before we can achieve ZTE."

Not to mention Cao Cao, he had the most letters asking for war and his words were the most fierce. He was like a warlike madman.

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "I just have this feeling. Let's not talk about this for now. Zhicai will come to my house in the evening and we will discuss it together. Your Majesty's determination is not wrong, and the national affairs cannot be delayed or stalemate like this. Go down."

"Okay." Zhong Yao said.

If the stalemate continues, the palace may have to change the prime minister.

Xun Yu, the unofficial prime minister, may be in vain, and all the plans of the "Yingchuan Party" will be disrupted.

And the Xi Zhicai they mentioned was in trouble now.

In the royal censor's duty room, Xi Zhicai looked at the more than 20 impeachment and indictment letters piled on the desk, his sickly face filled with condensation.

These impeachments and indictments were all directed at Xun Yu.

From the Xun family in Yingchuan to the branch that Xun Yu took to flee to Jizhou, these impeachments and indictments did not miss a single detail, listing Xun Yu's "culpability" in detail.

It involves 'invading the land', 'threatening the clan', 'corruption and illegality', 'deceiving the emperor', 'having ulterior motives' and so on.

Almost every memorial is well-founded and clearly well-designed, not a random impeachment.

Xi Zhicai has finished watching them all. He doesn't care whether the contents of these accusations or impeachments are true or false, but he is afraid of the people behind the scenes.

He guessed a lot of people, and none of them were simple. The most important thing was that these memorials appeared too suddenly and intensively, just in the past two or three days.

'Isn't it from the palace? '

Xi Zhicai murmured to himself, feeling chills running down his back.

As one of the leaders of the 'Yingchuan Party', Xi Zhicai is naturally aware of the game between the palace and the 'Yingchuan Party'. After such a long time, Xun Yu's appointment edict has not been issued, and all kinds of rumors have spread throughout Luoyang City. .

Xi Zhicai was worried, if the wait and see in the palace was over and they were disappointed with Xun Yu and the Yingchuan Party, would the throne of prime minister be changed to someone else?
This blow to the 'Yingchuan Party' will be fatal!
"Zhicai."

Suddenly, Liu Xie pushed open the door and walked in. He was young and had a warm smile, giving people a sense of intimacy.

However, Xi Zhicai's heart was beating wildly, he stood up quickly, stepped forward to greet him and said, "I have met His Highness."

Liu Xie had already noticed the memorials and letters, and said calmly: "The palace has approved Mr. Liu's promotion to Grand Sima. According to the rules, the Yushitai will conduct an investigation and report back to Your Majesty."

According to the new rules set by the imperial court, all trusted officials and the Yushitai must check the details and keep them for the record.

Xi Zhicai felt a little relieved after hearing this, raised his hand and said: "Yes, I will make arrangements now."

Liu Xie nodded, then paused and said, "I heard that Li Cao is preparing candidates for Li Cao, Hu Cao, etc.?"

Xi Zhicai observed Liu Xie's expression and did not hide anything. He said: "The two Xun ministers thought about it this way. Because the two Xun ministers will all join the minister's desk, the Hu Cao and Li Cao have great responsibilities, so the position of the minister cannot be left vacant."

Liu Xie pretended to think for a while and said, "No need."

Xi Zhicai's slightly smiling face slowly disappeared, he raised his hand seriously and said, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Instead, Liu Xie smiled and said, "This is what the palace means."

Xi Zhicai's expression became a little stiff.

'No. '

There is no need to select new Hu Cao, Li Cao, Shangshu, what does this mean in the palace?
He didn't know that Xun Yu and Zhong Yao had already come out of the palace, and his mind was full of thoughts.

Seeing his expression, Liu Xie turned around and left without saying anything more.

Xi Zhicai waited for him to leave, took a deep breath, looked back at the denunciation and impeachment memorials, and left the Yushitai.

Before he reached Liu Cao, he learned that Xun Yu and Zhong Yao, who had just left the palace, were summoned to the palace again.

He was worried and could only wait in Hu Caojing.

At the same time, inside Chongde Hall.

Xun Yu sat in the first place, opposite Liu Yu, and beside them were Xun You and Zhong Yao.

Liu Bian sat on the chair with an expressionless face. He picked up the letter on the table and said calmly: "You guys have a look."

Pan Yin took it and handed it to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu had already had a premonition. He took the letter, read it, thought about it, and handed it to Liu Yu who was opposite.

Liu Yu was a little anxious while waiting. After reading it, his expression suddenly changed, and he said to Liu Bian in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shaonai, the remaining members of the Yuan family, behead them immediately!"

Liu Biandao: "Let's talk about it after reading it all."

Liu Yu calmly handed the letter to Xun You beside him.

Xun You was already a little confused. He didn't know why Liu Yu suddenly mentioned Yuan Shao. After reading the letter, he couldn't help it anymore. He raised his hand to Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Liu Gong's wishes!"

With that said, he handed the letter to Zhong Yao.

Zhong Yao took it, read it carefully twice, and then fell silent.

Liu Bian took in the expressions of the four people, especially Zhong Yao. After waiting for a moment, he asked: "Zhong Qing's family, what do you think?"

Zhong Yao raised his hand, pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao suddenly sent troops to Danyang, perhaps because he wanted to occupy Yangzhou and compete with Sun Jian, Liu Biao and others. But if he does this, Sun Jian and Liu Biao will inevitably follow suit. There will be a war in the South even if there is no war."

Liu Yu snorted coldly and said: "I won't fight when it's time to fight. His Majesty's decree is not to be tampered with. If Yuan Shao resists the decree, he should be punished according to the law to serve as a warning to others!"

Xun You glanced at him and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao's move cannot be tolerated. But the war is imminent, and it is not the time to question the guilt. Regardless of the success or failure of destroying Yuan, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and others will definitely not sit idly by. Moreover, Sun Jian, Liu Biaozhi and others will not sit back and watch. Liu must have taken the opportunity to become powerful, learn from Liu Yan, and govern across mountains and seas from the imperial court. The imperial court must make long-term plans and make overall plans."

Liu Bian remained expressionless. Seeing that Xun Yu was silent, he asked, "What do Xun Qing's family think?"

Xun Yu took the letter from Zhong Yao again, read it carefully, and then said calmly: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao's move may be intentional, to trigger Sun Jian, Liu Biao, Shi Xie and others to attack. Follow the trend, then sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits!"

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect this!
Zhong Yao suddenly came to his senses and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao must be suppressed and cannot move!"

If Cao Cao suddenly sends troops or makes any move at this time, the south will be completely in chaos!
