Han family achievements

Chapter 36 Check and Balance
Huangfu Jian felt lucky to survive the catastrophe, and limped back to the mansion through the back door, hiding from people along the way, until he brought the baggage into the room and closed the door, then he was relieved.

"His parents, have I had bad luck recently..."

Huangfu Jianchang put down the package, leaned on crutches and wanted to go to the table to have a sip of tea.

"what……"

Huangfu Jianchang suddenly saw a man in black behind the curtain, screamed, turned around and was about to run.

砰

A long sword was nailed to the door frame above his head, trembling.

Huangfu Jianchang immediately stopped speaking, his legs trembled, his hands were firmly grasping the door, he turned his head with difficulty, and said, "Hero...is it you?"

The man in black didn't wear a mask, stepped forward, drew back his sword, and listened carefully to the silence outside the door, then looked at Huangfu Jianchang, and said: "In this capital, I can only trust benefactor, this time I probably won't survive, So let me entrust you with a few things."

Huangfu Jianchang was no longer afraid when he saw this man's face, he picked up the crutch with great difficulty, leaned forward, and said in shock and anger: "You have received my father's favor, why did you come here to scare me?"

This man's name is Shi A, and he is a ranger. He once, together with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, followed his father Huang Fusong to conquer the Yellow Turban Army.

Shi A was half a head shorter than Huangfu Jianchang, with slumped brows and eyes, looking sad, followed behind Huangfu Jianchang, and said: "In other words, the others are already dead. I have something, you can do it for me, and I will tell you You have a secret, and I will give you another [-] coins."

Huangfu drank his tea intently, and said: "You must be going to assassinate someone, and you want to entrust your wife and children to me."

Shi A knew that Huangfu was strong and smart, so he didn't care, and said, "Yes."

Huangfu's long breath stabilized, so that he could turn his head leisurely and said, "Address."

Shi A took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to him.

Huangfu Jianchang took it, opened it and looked at it, then tore it up, threw it into the teacup, drank it down, and said: "Secret."

Shi A turned his head and glanced outside the door, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "I found out that someone in the imperial court colluded with the Yellow Turban bandits, and when the benefactor failed, it was someone who tipped off the news!"

Huangfu's expression changed abruptly, "Who!?"

He doesn't need to care about other people, but he can't care about his father.

Shi A stared at Huangfu Jianchang for a moment, then stood back and said: "I don't know, but I know, this man has great power, he is in the imperial court."

Huangfu Jian frowned, and said angrily: "What kind of secret are you, who doesn't know that someone in the court colluded with the rebels, and the twelve permanent servants even took money, I want to know who it is!"

Shi A remained expressionless, and said: "The other thing is that the Habayashi Army killed so many people yesterday, because someone secretly spent money, and each headed two hundred coins."

Huangfu Jian took a long breath and suddenly became short of breath. He knew that her lover's man killed many people and was rewarded by the people above!

"So it's like this..." Huangfu Jian's eyes widened with disbelief.

Spending money to buy heads, this is Luoyang, the eastern capital, who is so bold and crazy! ?
Shi A didn't say any more, covered his face, and climbed out of the window.

Hearing the sound, Huangfu Jian turned his head full of confusion, the corners of his mouth moved again and again, and finally he slapped the table angrily, saying: "You tell me this, what do you want me to do!?"

Imperial Palace, West Garden.

Liu Bian sat in a small pavilion, reading a book quietly.

In the courtyard, there are palace ladies everywhere, and the servants are carrying and counting back and forth.

The West Garden is the happy residence of Emperor Ling. It is magnificently built, with carved beams and painted buildings, extravagant everywhere, like poetry and picturesque.

Liu Bian finally freed up his hands to clean up the messy palace.

Not long after, a white and clean inner eunuch of about seventeen or eighteen years old, holding an account book, walked to the pavilion in small steps. Seeing Liu Bian reading a book, he stopped quickly, and then entered the pavilion silently.

Liu Bian turned a page and said, "How many have you counted?"

This is a Zhonghuang Gate, and he said respectfully: "Returning to Your Majesty, a warehouse has been counted. There are 80 million yuan in money, 27 in gold, [-] in silver, [-] in jade, [-] in famous knives, [-] in famous swords, and good horses." Three hundred horses, three thousand gold and silver wares..."

Liu Bian looked up at him and said, "You mean, it's just a warehouse, how many are there?"

Zhonghuangmen lowered his head and said, "There are sixteen places in total, and here is the most."

Liu Bian calculated in his heart, and secretly said: It will be enough for a while.

Immediately he looked at the Zhonghuang Gate, felt familiar, thought for a while, and said: "You are from the imperial prison? What's your name?"

The prison in the palace is the dungeon beside Fanglin Garden, and its official name is: Huangmen North Temple Prison.

Zhonghuangmen bowed, his fair face was slightly tense, he pursed his lips, and said: "Yes, little man Zuo Li."

Liu Bian nodded. He thought of this person because he was a jailer. He hated Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and the others very much.

"You have a grudge with the Twelve Attendants?" Liu Bian was fine and chatted while reading the book.

Zuo Li raised his head, with deep hatred on his face, and said: "They killed the villain's family, and castrated the villain, so that the Zuo family will have no heirs!"

Surprised, Liu Bian looked away from the book and looked at Zuo Li.

These twelve permanent servants are so ruthless!
Zuo Li didn't change his face, and he didn't hide his hatred at all.

Just as Liu Bian was about to speak, there was a burst of eager footsteps, and Pan Yin brought someone over and hurried over, saying, "Your Majesty, the memorial from Shangshutai has arrived."

Shangshutai was originally set up privately by Emperor Guangwu for counselors, next to the Jiade Hall.

As successive emperors continued to hand over important affairs to Shangshutai, Shangshutai seemed to have become the central institution of the Han Dynasty.

However, the chief official of Shangshutai, Shangshu Ling, was too low to deal with major affairs, so the real big men in the court took the title of "Lu Shangshushi" to manage Shangshutai and became the actual prime ministers.

Liu Bian put down the book and said, "Speak."

Pan Yin said: "Yes. There are four things in total. Please hold the Enthronement Ceremony on May [-]th, Situ Ding's Palace, Sikong Liu Hong's illness, Grand Tutor Yuan Kuizou, please completely lift the party's imprisonment twice, and Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the Chinese Army, as his father. Critically ill, please forgive visiting father."

Liu Bian looked as usual, and said, "Did you write a letter to impeach the general or someone?"

"No, Shangshutai will send four." Pan Yin said.

Liu Bian smiled, stood up involuntarily, looked in the direction of Shang Shutai, and said, "Do you think there is any impeachment for such a big matter? Is it strange?"

Zuo Li bowed his head, stared at Liu Bian's back from the corner of his eye, and said softly, "Return to your majesty, the villain thinks that your majesty has no idea how many memorials are in and out of the Shangshutai, and this is not in line with my law."

Liu Bian was startled, and turned his head in surprise. He had said something casually, and didn't intend to hear an answer.

Pan Yin also glanced at Zuo Li, her sallow face did not move, but her brows furrowed slightly imperceptibly.

"What do you think should be done?" Liu Bian asked with a smile.

Zuo Li bowed even more, and said in a very calm tone: "The villain thinks that His Majesty should set up a school and appoint a permanent attendant to review the entry and exit of memorials."

Originally, Shangshutai was doing this.

Liu Bian looked at Zuo Li, and the smile in his eyes gradually grew stronger.

Zuo Li's proposal was actually nothing new. Liu Bian had the memory of later generations and knew how to govern Shangshutai. What made him happy was that this Zuo Li reminded him of a very important matter!
He considered developing Sili Xiaowei into eyes and ears before, but he ignored checks and balances!
Liu Bian sat back slowly, picked up his teacup, and said casually: "The North Temple Prison of Huangmen, I plan to move out of the palace, Zuo Li, what do you think?"

　Thanks to the boss of 'Let's call it Mr. Long Yaya' for his generous reward~
