Han family achievements

Chapter 382 The End of the World

Chongde Hall, back hall.

Liu Bianzhuang, the teacher, walked back and forth among the children, watching them write for the exam.

The leaders were his two sons, followed by He Yan, Cao Pi and a group of other children, all about five to seven years old, which was the best time for enlightenment.

Not far away, Cao Cao, Lu Yu, Huangfu Jianshou and others stood, watching quietly.

Lu Yu and Huangfu Jianshou are relatively calm. The children here have little to do with them and are more of an 'expectation'.

It goes without saying that the two princes, He Yan, Cao Pi and others can accompany them to study in the palace, which in itself shows the potential cultivation of their majesty. Now that they are personally supervising the studies, it can be imagined that they attach great importance to them.

Cao Cao's face was covered with beards, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but his eyes became more and more narrow, giving people a sense of sinisterness.

Cao Cao's eyes wandered between the two princes, and then glanced at his second son Cao Pi.

He and Cao Pi spent less time together and more apart. It can be said that Cao Pi almost grew up in the palace. Cao Cao's father had far less contact with Cao Pi than Liu Bian.

In the past, Cao Cao believed that the palace's arrangement of Cao Pi as the prince's companion was a kind of "proton", but from now on, this may not be the case.

Cao Cao's own family knew about his own affairs, and Cao Pi's treatment was harmful rather than helpful to him.

Liu Bian patrolled back and forth for a long time. When he saw that the little guys were quite nervous, he smiled calmly, walked out of the private school, and walked outside.

Cao Cao, Huangfu Jianshou, Lu Yu and others naturally followed and walked towards Fanglin Garden.

The snow in the palace was cleared relatively quickly. Liu Bian wanted to step on the snow, but he couldn't do it until Fanglin Garden. He felt empty in his heart, so he still said: "Tell me about it."

Huangfu Jianshou had been waiting for a long time. When he heard this, he looked reserved and said carefully: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the Forbidden Army, the Yulin Army and the Forbidden Army Camp have all been infiltrated by rebellion, but overall it is not serious. . Dian Xiaowei and General Zhang Zhonglang are already starting to eliminate them. Wei Chen has sent Zhao Yun to the Forbidden Army camp to take care of it himself. It will take at most half a month to eliminate them. "

Liu Bian hummed, walked into Fanglin Garden, and said, "Lu Yu, what's the situation in the palace?"

Lu Yu was relatively calm and said: "Back to Your Majesty, some people in the palace believe in the Five Dou Rice Cult and have secretly conveyed a lot of news, but there is no sign of rebellion. Dachangqiu is dealing with it according to the severity of the crime."

Liu Bian hummed, went straight to the small pavilion and sat down, minding his own business and started making tea.

Huangfu Jianshou and Lu Yu stood opposite each other, feeling quite uneasy.

Unknowingly, the palace, the Forbidden Army, the Yulin Army, and the Forbidden Army camp were all infiltrated to such an extent that it is simply unimaginable!

Cao Cao stood next to the two of them, watching Liu Bianxing making tea like water, thinking about this in his heart.

Shangshutai's movements were as fast as thunder, and he accomplished such a big thing in just two or three days.

As the Right Sima of the Grand Sima Mansion, he was completely isolated. It was not until this morning that he vaguely understood what the Chancellor was going to do.

The Shangshutai, which used to be low-key and reserved, and strived for stability, suddenly opened its fangs, surprising many people and even catching them off guard.

More importantly, I am worried about next year.

Since he succeeded to the throne, he has continuously formulated a series of national policies, involving institutions, taxation, population, land, military system, etc., including the "New Deal".

However, amid the predicament of internal and external troubles, the 'New Deal' faced huge resistance and was implemented very slowly. Even after five or six years, it was still far from meeting expectations.

After pacifying Dong Zhuo and bringing the two states of Yu and Xu back to the imperial court, the imperial court held the land of eight states and already had an absolute advantage in the entire chaotic Han Dynasty.

After years of preparation and deliberation, coupled with the elimination of Dong Zhuo, there will inevitably be a longer period of peace and stability in Weijia.

Everything is ready.

Shangshutai's sudden and sharp attack was a preparation, but in fact it was also a test of the outside world.

In a short period of time, Cao Cao was overwhelmed with thoughts and thought of too many things.

"Cao Cao?"

"Cao Mengde!"

Cao Cao was greatly surprised. He looked up and saw Liu Bian staring at him. He quickly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'll forgive you. I'm thinking about the forbidden army camp."

Liu Bian saw that he was a little distracted and said with a smile: "You don't need to think about the Forbidden Army camp. Zhao Yun can take care of it. Tell me, how did you plan it?"

Cao Cao calmed his mind and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I plan to implement it from north to south. The border fortress cities will not be moved for the time being, such as Wuyuan, Yanmen, and Liaodong. The two states of Xu and Yu will not be moved for the time being, waiting for stability. , and it will be implemented depending on the situation. In other places, I suggest that we use transfers, rotations, promotions and demotions, and on the one hand, we change the chief officers, and on the other hand, we draw down the troops. We adopt different methods according to the situation, or use a two-pronged approach, in order to achieve ' "Separation of military and political affairs', and then gradually planned it."

Liu Bian raised his brows and said with a smile: "This is a good idea from the Qing family. I really saw the right person. Sit down and have a cup of tea."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Without changing his expression, Cao Cao sat down opposite Liu Bian, raised his teacup, and took a sip.

Putting down the teacup, Cao Cao continued: "Your Majesty, since the Three Qiang and Yellow Turban Rebellions, Luoyang has been in constant danger. I believe that it must be heavily guarded. The Forbidden Army camp is a bit far away from Luoyang. I suggest that the Forbidden Army camp be divided into two parts. Third, station them in the north, west and south of Luoyang to protect the capital and ensure the safety of Luoyang."

Liu Bian took a sip of tea without comment, with a thoughtful look on his face.

He had already considered this, but in his heart, Luoyang was not a good location for a national capital, and the eastward shift of national destiny was an irreversible trend.

Putting down his tea cup, Liu Bian said with a rather leisurely smile: "I think the settlement points you proposed before have great merits. This time, I will supervise the 'separation of military and political affairs', and we can take the opportunity to implement it. For some complex situations, place, remember not to be too arrogant and must be strong and soft at the same time. In addition, banditry is coming one after another in the north, so I have taken care of it. If you leave Beijing, you can stop by Mount Tai to see it. Maybe I want to go there one day. look……"

When Cao Cao saw that Liu Bian didn't answer his question, he didn't ask any further questions. He raised his hand and said, "Wei Chen has received the order."

Liu Bian raised his head and looked at Huangfu Jianshou and said, "Da Sima is not in good health. You and Cao Sima should discuss many matters related to the reform of the military system."

"Wei Chen understands." Huangfu Jianshou said.

Liu Bian hummed, continued to pick up the teapot, and slowly brewed tea.

Huangfu Jianchang, Cao Cao, Lu Yu and others saw it and waited quietly.

They all knew that calling the three of them into the palace would not be just such a simple explanation.

"So be it."

To the surprise of the three of them, Liu Bian, who had been making tea for a long time, suddenly said.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, raised their hands and said, "Wei Chen, please leave."

Liu Bian picked up the teapot and poured the seven small teacups one by one, then slowly tasted them from left to right. After drinking the third one, he put it down with a frown.

He raised his head and looked at the backs of Cao Cao and Lu Yu as they went out. His face was expressionless and he said in a calm tone: "Are you sure there are high-level officials in the imperial court who have informed Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao?"

Pan Yin took a step forward and whispered: "Yes. The results of the interrogation of some of Dong Zhuo's cronies in the Imperial City, but I don't know who they are." Liu Bian stared at Cao Cao's back as he disappeared outside the door and said: "Tell me, does Jia Xu know? If Jia Xu knows, does Cao Cao know?"

Pan Yin felt cold all over and dared not say a word.

If we really want to find out that there is a high-level liaison and treason in the imperial court, and Cao Cao has concealed this person, it will be a huge disaster!

"High-level officials of the imperial court..."

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes, and a figure flashed in his mind.

The senior officials who could inform Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, and when they were suppressing Dong, were mostly related to the strategy and tactics of attacking Dong. The scope of the senior officials who knew these was very small!

Liu Bian was angry, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he shouted: "Check! No matter who is found, we will never tolerate it! Tell Huangfu Jianchang that no matter who it is, he can kill it first and then report it!"

"Yes." Pan Yin responded, lowered his head, and left in a hurry.

Liu Bian took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said to himself: "It is really the end of the dynasty, and there are ghosts and monsters. Until the end, I really can't tell whether the person or ghost hidden behind the straight faces is it!?"

Cao Cao, Huangfu Jianshou, and Lu Yu left Fanglin Garden and exchanged a few words. Huangfu Jianshou went to Shangshutai, and Lu Yu sent Cao Cao to Da Sima's Mansion.

Cao Cao thought about Liu Bian's words and deeds in Fanglin Garden, and he always felt that they seemed to have deep meaning, and he was uncertain. Suddenly his face turned gloomy, and he sighed softly and said, "Zijia, I still want to go out and lead the troops."

Zijia, named after Lu Yu.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said: "The water in Luoyang City has always been muddy, but the situation now is much better than before."

Before Liu Bian succeeded to the throne, the party struggle was fierce and various conspiracies emerged in endlessly. It was far from the harmony now.

Cao Cao was naturally aware of this, so he turned back to look at him and said, "Zijia, your Majesty just didn't comment on my proposal, and then he hesitated to speak to me. Could it be that I did something wrong without knowing it?"

Cao Cao was regarded as Lu Zhi's half-protégé. He greatly supported Cao Cao before his death and regarded him as the successor of Lu Zhi's mantle.

At the time of Lu Zhi's funeral, Lu Yu was underage, so Cao Cao took the initiative as his half-adopted son.

Therefore, Lu Yu has always treated Cao Cao as an elder brother, very close to him, and without any defense.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Lu Yu said with a smile: "General Cao, don't worry, it is probably the other side of the Shangshutai who said something else. As long as the general is loyal and loyal, Your Majesty will understand and will not let the general be wronged."

Seeing that Lu Yu didn't know, Cao Cao pretended to be hesitant and said: "Zijia, I have a murky view of the situation in the court and there are murderous intentions everywhere. How about I find a way to transfer you out of the capital and you hide somewhere."

Seeing Cao Cao's concern and care, Lu Yu was moved and smiled more: "I'm just a palace commander. No one will care about me. General, don't worry."

Seeing that Lu Yuzhen didn't know anything, Cao Cao felt calm in his heart and said, "I don't care. If you want to go out, just tell me at any time."

Seeing this, Lu Yu thought carefully and said: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty should have something to do today, but he didn't say it out loud. The general should be extra careful in his actions in the future and don't be too close to others. "

"Too close friendship? You mean..." Cao Cao asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Lu Yu glanced around and saw no one else, then whispered: "Your Majesty has become wary of the 'Yingchuan Party' and has been beating it repeatedly recently. General, in Luoyang, do not form a party, even if Even if you are close friends, you should reduce your interactions and don’t try to give others falsehoods.”

Cao Cao understood and then said: "I heard that Da Sima plans to transfer all my generals?"

Cao Cao's troops were divided into two, and one part was left in Yuzhou and given to Liu Bei. Part of it was returned to the Forbidden Army camp and taken back to the imperial court.

However, many of his generals never left him. Cao Cao no longer led troops, so they stayed in Cao Mansion and never went anywhere.

Lu Yu didn't hear it, but was happy for Cao Cao and said: "It's a tribute. They have followed the general for many years and have recorded a lot of merit. Da Sima will reward them all at once. Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren are both Zhonglang generals. Congratulations to the general."

Cao Cao smiled, his eyes darkened.

Liu Yu did this, obviously to break up his team.

He will soon be alone in the capital.

As they talked, they arrived at Da Sima's Mansion.

Liu Yu was wrapped in a thick blanket. The servant with a withered face coughed twice. He raised his head and saw that Lu Yu was also there. He said: "Lu Yu, please go to Hongdu School for me. There is a martial arts academy built there." , you see what they need.”

Lu Yu quickly raised his hand and said, "Yes."

With that said, he gave Cao Cao a cautious look and turned to leave.

Liu Yu sat up straighter, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of strong tea. Seeing that Cao Cao had already sat down, he smiled and said, "Mengde, are you still used to it?"

Cao Cao was quite respectful to Liu Yu, and responded with a smile: "I am used to being in the military camp, but I still feel a little uncomfortable."

Liu Yu nodded with some emotion and said: "Back then, you and I were both guests in the general's mansion. More than five years have passed in a hurry, things have changed and people have changed. It is really not easy for you and me to still sit together. "

"What Liu Gong said is true." Cao Cao said with a look of memory.

I remember that during the confrontation with the eunuchs, the general He Jin was highly praised by the scholars and they strongly supported him to fight against the eunuchs.

At that time, there were many guests in the General's Mansion, and there were many famous people coming and going, such as Chen Lin, Xun You and others, as well as juniors such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao who were barely able to get on the stage, as well as Cai Yong, Wang Yun and other noble families. In the middle stream, there are Liu Yu, Ding Gong, Liu Hong and so on.

It can be said that there are many talents and many guests.

But with He Jin's "report of illness in the palace", the general's mansion was in disarray overnight. Now, only those who are left chat with each other, and at the same time, they are falling apart due to various problems. It is difficult to get together as before.

Cao Cao looked reminiscing, but in fact he was watching Liu Yu from the corner of his eye.

In fact, his relationship with Liu Yu has always been very estranged. After all, Liu Yu was a high-ranking Taiwei during the late emperor's reign, worthy of the name of the Three Dukes, while Cao Cao was only the Xiyuan school captain and an eunuch, so he could not get on the stage at all.

Liu Yu suddenly recalled the past with him, so he must have some 'requests'.

Liu Yu was wrapped in a blanket, holding a tea cup, and looked out the door in silence.

He was really recalling the past, recalling the great general's palace during the late emperor's time.

At that time, although the eunuchs covered the sky with one hand and the city of Luoyang was smoky, there was indeed a rare harmonious atmosphere in the General's Mansion.

Because General He Jin is their well-deserved leader, no one can challenge his status.

Today's imperial court seems to be harmonious, but in fact it is a mess. All hopes are pinned on the palace. The courtiers seem to have lost their souls, and everything is hesitant and uncertain.
