Han family achievements

Chapter 385 Fight

When Liu Bian went to Shangshu, the 'dispute' in Shangshu's desk became increasingly fierce.

Gongcao Shangshu Wu Jing said with a stern face: "Prime Minister, Gongcao is currently responsible for the five main tasks. The first is river management and river repair. If we want to achieve the mission of Shangshutai, we will not only need a lot of money and food, but also enough resources." Folks, what's more important is time. Complete the renovation of all major official roads within three years to ensure that the two rivers will no longer burst their banks and flood. The lower official can't make a guarantee from the chancellery."

Taichang Qing Kong Rong followed and said: "Currently, Taixue and Hongdu sects continue to expand in the northern states, mainly relying on donations from local gentry, including school buildings, student fees, doctorate salaries, etc. Shangshu Taiwan requires expansion to all counties within five years and at least 150 more courtyards. Prime Minister, I apologize for my incompetence. Taichang Temple cannot do it."

Sima Jun, the Secretary of the Xing Cao, also frowned and said: "The Xing Cao is already short of manpower. In recent years, it has been promoting the restructuring of the Xing Cao in various states, counties and counties, but this cannot be carried out by the Xing Cao alone. For various major and important cases, the Xing Cao Cao worked hard to investigate, but was unable to resolve all cases before Yonghan within five years as requested by the Prime Minister."

Huangfu Jianshou, the Minister of Bing Cao, looked hesitant, but he still followed: "Prime Minister, the matter of Bing Cao is too complicated. On the one hand, we need to abolish the miscellaneous soldiers, and on the other hand, we need to expand the forbidden army camp. Regarding the reform of the military system, the lower officials need to discuss it carefully with the Grand Sima Mansion. Only then can we make a decision. Under the current chaotic situation, the Prime Minister’s strategy of elite troops cannot be agreed with. As for the reduction of military salary expenditure proposed by Shangshutai, I firmly disagree!”

The officials present seemed calm, but their words one after another were all criticizing and opposing the "Five-year Jian'an Policy Outline" formulated by Shangshutai. Their tone was calm and their attitude was firm.

Liu Xie, Chen Gong, Wang Lang and others watched indifferently, thinking about their words in their hearts.

This "Political Outline for the Five Years of Jian'an" is a comprehensive summary and further improvement and promotion of the "Yonghan New Deal", covering almost all aspects of the national affairs of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie's Yushitai, Wang Lang's Tingwei Mansion, and Chen Gong's Luoyang Mansion are all included in this 'outline'.

However, they found it difficult to accept the 'urgent' reform plan proposed by Shangshutai, and they felt a hundred reluctances in their hearts.

They were not in a hurry to speak, because the real main force of this "outline" was not them, but the two most critical departments controlled by the "Yingchuan Party" - Hucao and Licao.

They were waiting for Xun You to speak.

Everyone knows that in terms of seniority, Xun You is higher than Zhong Yao and Prime Minister Xun Yu, and is the real master of the 'Yingchuan Party'.

In the face of numerous objections from the senior officials of Liu Cao and Jiu Temple, the Prime Minister Xun Yu, the servants Zhong Yao and Xun You kept their expressions unchanged, but kept frowning secretly.

As soon as they glanced out of the corner of their eyes, the hearts of the three of them became even heavier.

It doesn't matter who speaks. What they really need to be vigilant about are those who remain silent!

Xun Yu sat upright, smiled and said to Liu Xie: "Your Highness, is there a problem with the Yushitai?"

Liu Xie, who was originally observing the situation with his eyes, nose, and nose, suddenly woke up and said in a pretentious tone: "Prime Minister, the restructuring of Yushitai is going smoothly so far."

Liu Xie's words came to an abrupt end.

The people in front all spoke at length. Liu Xie's few words seemed to echo Xun Yu, but in fact they were like a sap, causing the conference hall to fall into a brief silence.

Xun Yu could see and hear clearly that Liu Xie had a "reservation", which essentially meant he had objections to the reform plan drawn up by Shangshutai.

Xun Yu was silent for a while and then said to Wang Lang: "Tingwei?"

Wang Lang sat up straight, raised his hand seriously, and said: "The implementation of the 'new system' in Tingwei Mansion has been severely hindered. Zhong Pushe should be well aware of the difficulty. It is the incompetence of the lower officials. If Shangshutai insists on promoting the new system, Plan, I have no choice but to resign."

The originally quiet conference hall could be heard instantly!

Wang Lang is not a simple Tingwei Tingwei, nor is he a person. He represents the heritage of the former Prime Minister Yang Biao and the Four Generations and Three Dukes!

He objected by 'resigning from office'. Once word got out, you can imagine how big a sensation it would cause, especially the unimaginable impact and obstacles to the 'Five-Year Outline' drawn up by the Chancellor.

Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, and Xun You never expected that Wang Lang, who had a good relationship with him before, would openly threaten to resign at this time!

Zhong Yao's face was serious and he said in a deep voice: "Wang Tingwei, there are indeed many things in Tingwei's house, but you are pushing back and resigning at every turn. Do you want to intimidate the Chancellor?"

Xun You was also very angry. Even if Wang Lang didn't have enough food and salt on weekdays, he actually jumped out to make trouble at this time!

Xun You snorted coldly and said, "Wang Lang, are you ready for your resignation?"

Seeing that the 'new and old prime ministers' parties were about to openly fight, Lu Yu, who was responsible for recording the contents of the meeting, suddenly spoke up and said, "Do these need to be recorded?"

Xun You asked Wang Lang about his resignation. This was a sword-to-sword confrontation, a physical confrontation, and a quarrel with each other!

Without changing his expression, Wang Lang took out an official document from his pocket, raised his hands, and said: "Go back to your right servant and shoot, I'm ready."

Lu Yu has always been a special person in the palace. As the head of the palace, he does not participate in the government affairs much. Coupled with Lu Zhi's lingering influence and Liu Bian's deliberate protection, no one has ever felt sorry for Lu Yu.

But at this moment, Lu Yu's scalp was still numb, and she stared blankly at the official document Wang Lang raised with both hands.

This is Wang Lang’s official resignation document!

Lu Yu felt excited and turned to look at the three people in front - Prime Minister Xun Yu, his left servant shot Zhong Yao, and his right servant shot Xun You.

Wang Lang was determined to oppose it and would not hesitate to resign.

How should the 'Yingchuan Party' respond? Should they accept it or not?

If this were accepted, the ruling and opposition parties would be uneasy and the world would be shocked.

But Wang Lang has achieved this step. If they don't accept it, how can they lose face?

In the quiet conference hall, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Lang's memorial, and their thoughts were racing with thoughts.

Wang Lang had even prepared the official document of resignation. It was obviously not a sudden move, but a premeditated decision.

What is this Wang Lang going to do? Or is it that the Yang family behind Wang Lang is unwilling to go dormant?

Zhong Yao has always been very dignified and kept his emotions and anger to himself, but now, he was really angry!

Zhong Yao could not contain his anger towards his successor, Tingwei Wang Lang of Tingwei Mansion.

He stood up directly and strode towards Wang Lang.

This scene caused everyone present to breathe suddenly and widen their eyes.

Is Zhong Yao going to take this?

Is Wang Lang going to be driven away?

Will the partisanship between the old and new prime ministers start from this moment?

"Cough cough cough,"

Suddenly, in silence, Sima Jun coughed violently.

This coughing couldn't be stopped, and his coughing echoed in the conference hall.

This one is too old, over eighty years old. Everyone here is a junior, and most of them are grandchildren.

Everyone looked at him, some were worried, some were surprised, and some were surprised.

Zhong Yao had to stop. He couldn't tell whether the old Yingchuan man was rescuing the siege or was really dying. He had to turn around and said to Xun Yu: "Prime Minister, Mr. Sima is seriously ill. Please adjourn the meeting temporarily. Please The doctor diagnosed and treated Sima Gong."

Xun Yu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's adjourn the meeting for half an hour."

As he said that, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to leave.

If Zhong Yao accepts Wang Lang's official resignation letter, the imperial court will collapse in an instant. Not to mention that the meeting will not go on, the most important thing is that the "Five Years of Jian'an Policy Outline" will become an extremely unfunny joke!

By then, the consequences will be more serious than anyone imagined, and no one can bear that responsibility!

Xun You followed Xun Yu to the side room, and immediately his face became gloomy, and he could not contain his anger and roared: "I think it's just Wang Lang, I think there's no one else who dares to oppose the New Deal!"

Zhong Yao, who followed in, suppressed his anger and said: "No. Wang Lang came prepared. We must handle it properly and complete this matter smoothly. The palace is always watching."

Xun Yu sat down, showing no emotion at all. He poured a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Yuan Chang, it was you who communicated with Wang Lang before. Is there anything unusual? Why did it happen again today?" Zhong Yao sat on the left He sighed and said: "Not really. Everything that should be given to him has been given to him. Could it be that he has other plans?"

Xun You sneered and said, "Don't even think about it! It's just that much. It's impossible for him to get any more!"

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this."

Zhong Yao took a deep breath and said, "Should I talk to him again?"

Xun You was angry in his heart but did not lose his mind, so he did not object.

If Wang Lang cannot be made to relent today and agree to the 'outline' they have drawn up, the thunderous fury in the palace will not be something they can bear.

Xun Yu still shook his head and said: "He didn't mention it before, but now he is getting angry. He must have thought clearly. We need to find out why Wang Lang did what he did and prescribe the right medicine."

Zhong Yao pondered for a moment and said, "I have to find someone."

They can't directly face Wang Lang now and need to find a middleman.

After much thought, Zhong Yao couldn't find the right one, because all the senior officials of the imperial court were in the conference hall next door.

"Cao Cao." Suddenly, Xun You spoke and said with a sneer: "Then Yang Xiu is under Cao Cao's tent, and Cao Cao is the most suitable person."

Zhong Yao hesitated a little and said, "Cao Cao, can you persuade Wang Lang?"

Xun You sneered more and more, and said with hatred: "They are just like the same raccoon dog. Cao Cao is the last face I give to Wang Lang. If he is stubborn, he will fight to be severely punished by Your Majesty, so I will take care of him first!"

Based on the current strength of the Yingchuan Party, not to mention Wang Lang, even Yang Biao can control it at will.

Xun Yu looked at him and said, "They haven't said anything about the officials and household officials yet."

Xun You opened his mouth to argue, but no sound came out.

The two pillars of the "New Deal" are land and official administration, and the responsibilities for these two parts lie with Hu Cao and official Cao, that is, with Xun Yu and Xun You.

If these two items are spread out, it is the most difficult.

Zhong Yao stood up straight away and said, "It shouldn't be difficult for me to find Cao Cao. It just depends on whether he can persuade Wang Lang."

Xun Yu responded and said: "If he makes any request, I will agree to it for the time being."

Zhong Yao nodded and left quickly.

There are so many people waiting in the meeting hall. We must go back as soon as possible, otherwise the night will be long and we will have many dreams.

Xun You sat there, his eyes flashing with hatred, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Liu Bian had already arrived at the Jiade Hall, which was separated from the Shangshu Terrace by a wall.

Sitting in the side hall, drinking tea leisurely, after listening to what Xu Yan and Lu Yu said, he looked strange, touched his chin, and said with a smile to himself: "Interesting. Wu Jing, Huangfu Jianshou , it’s no surprise that Bing Yuan and the others spoke out, and Sima Jun also objected...our Tingwei finally couldn’t bear it anymore?”

Lu Yu lowered his head, his lips moved, but he stopped talking.

Liu Bian held the tea cup and looked at the door with strange eyes.

He was also very surprised by what happened at Shangshutai. He originally thought that the target would be related to Qingzhang's land, but he never thought that he would get stuck here.

A clerk hurriedly came in and said, "Your Majesty, the bell servant shot at the Grand Sima Mansion."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian became more and more surprised. He thought about it in his mind. He couldn't think clearly for a while and said: "Let people keep an eye on it. Xu Yan, go and call King Chenliu to see me."

"Yes." Xu Yan responded and stepped back.

Not long after, Liu Xie came in a hurry and saluted cautiously: "My brother, I see you, Your Majesty."

Xu Yan now passed Liu Xie, came to the side behind Liu Bian, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Zhong Pushe has invited Cao Sima. Cao Sima is on his way to the side room of Shangshutai to have a private meeting with Wang Tingwei."

"Private meeting?"

Liu Bian blinked strangely, then thought more and said, "You mean, Zhong Yao invited Cao Cao out to persuade Wang Lang?"

"It should be like this." Xu Yan bowed and said.

Liu Bian quickly figured out the link, but he didn't think Cao Cao could convince Wang Lang.

Because Cao Cao, Yang Biao, and Wang Lang actually didn't have much friendship, what ability did Cao Cao have to persuade Wang Lang to change his mind and cooperate with the "Yingchuan Party"?

"Royal brother, what do you think?" Liu Bian suddenly turned to look at Liu Xie and said with a smile.

Liu Xie lowered his head, not daring to look at Liu Bian at all, and said, "I believe that Zhong Pushe has his own considerations."

Liu Bian was naturally dissatisfied with this answer and said, "Are you opposed to the policy outline issued by the Chancellor?"

Liu Xie was most afraid of Liu Bian's question, so he bit the bullet and said, "My brother has no objection."

"You don't support it either?" Liu Bian picked up the teacup and said calmly before drinking.

Liu Xie's scalp was numb, and he struggled in his heart again and again, and said: "My brother supports me."

For Liu Xie, it is difficult to say the word "support". Not only is the Yushitai's restructuring plan too dangerous for him, but also that supporting the Shangshutai's "Political Outline" will push him to the opposite side of those who oppose him.

Liu Xie has always tried his best to stay away from government affairs in order to avoid such a situation.

"Then say it,"

Liu Bian took a sip of tea, looked at him and said, "Don't hide it. You are my imperial brother. What is there to be afraid of? Speak out boldly."

Liu Xie trembled all over.

Do you want him to blatantly support Shangshutai and the Yingchuan Party in the Shangshutai conference room?

"His Majesty,"

Before Liu Xie could answer, a clerk hurried in and said, "Cao Cao and Wang Tingwei came out hand in hand, and they seemed to be having a very happy conversation."

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows and said, "Did you enjoy the conversation?"
