Han family achievements

Chapter 386 Repeated History

Cao Cao convinced Wang Lang, and in such a short period of time!

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes, looked outside the door quietly, and said with a smile: "It seems that I still don't know enough about your family."

Pan Yin, Xu Yan, Lu Yu and others lowered their heads and did not dare to continue.

Liu Xie bowed more, feeling a faint chill running down his back.

After getting along with him for so many years, he already knew something about this royal brother.

This is an emperor who looks warm on the outside, but is actually gloomy on the inside and has an absolute desire to control the imperial power!

The minister is within his control, and even if he goes to heaven, he doesn't care. He still has gentle eyes and a gentle voice. But once it goes beyond the scope of control, under the pressure of various means, it will make people breathless!

Cao Cao has been criticized a lot, but Liu Xie doesn't believe that Liu Bian still trusts Cao Cao as always!

The fact that Cao Cao spent so much time convincing Wang Lang meant that Cao Cao and the Yang family were secretly connected?

Although the Yang family of the fourth generation and the three princes is more powerful than the Yuan family in the past, in today's government and the public, the Yang family's reputation is unmatched and stands out!

If the Yang Party and the Yingchuan Party openly confronted each other and launched a new round of party struggle... Liu Xie shuddered in his heart and did not dare to think deeply!

Liu Bian took a sip of tea and waved his hand.

Lu Yu, Xu Yan and Liu Xie raised their hands and quietly stepped back without daring to breathe.

Outside the Jiade Hall, Cao Cao parted with Wang Lang and watched him enter the conference hall of Shangshutai.

Cao Cao paused for a moment, passed through the front of the Jiade Hall, and headed straight back to the Grand Sima Mansion.

He kept walking, his face was full of beard, and there was no expression on his face.

Arriving in front of Da Sima's mansion, Jia Xu, dressed in long white clothes, was already waiting. When Cao Cao arrived, his first words were: "General, you are taking a huge risk."

Cao Cao looked back at the quiet Jiade Palace and said calmly: "I am sharing your Majesty's worries."

Jia Xu has always had no expression, and his demeanor remains the same, saying: "Your Majesty may not be happy to see you doing this. Moreover, it will definitely arouse the hatred of the 'Yingchuan Party', and Wang Tingwei may not be the leader of the general."

Cao Cao stared at the Jiade Palace for a long time, touched his beard, and then said: "Go in."

He doesn't like Jia Xu.

Jia Xu is a person who always points to the point, as if he has hidden countless thoughts. Unlike Guo Jia, even if he hides something, he hides it openly and openly, which makes Cao Cao feel comfortable and will not have the slightest doubt.

Jia Xu is a good man, and he knows very well that Cao Cao doesn't like him. This is not important to Jia Xu, it is just a matter of time.

In the side room of Shangshutai, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, and Xun You were waiting when they learned that Cao Cao had persuaded Wang Lang, and they all looked bad.

Xun You was already angry and said with ice-cold eyes: "Isn't Grand Sima going to release Cao Cao from Beijing? I think it must be done as soon as possible."

Zhong Yao did not object this time and said to Xun Yu: "Prime Minister, you have to touch Wang Lang to see what they want to do."

Xun Yu nodded slightly, his face thoughtful.

He was not worried about Yang Biao's comeback and seizing power. Instead, he was thinking about the purpose behind Wang Lang's sudden opposition and whether they would become an obstacle to the 'New Deal'.

"Finish today's business first."

After a while, Xun Yu stood up and said.

Zhong Yao and Xun You didn't say anything more and stood up. The most important thing for them today is to complete the "Jian'an Five-Year Policy Outline" and pass it at the general meeting.

Their Majesty is very different from the late Emperor in many aspects, but he does not like to hold court meetings the same.

His Majesty has been on the throne for five or six years now and has held only a handful of court meetings.

Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, and Xun You entered the conference room and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Sima Jun, Huangfu Jianshou, Chen Gong and others looked at the three people, trying to see something on their faces.

Because Wang Lang came in ahead of them, his expression was relaxed and there seemed to be a hint of a smile.

What secret agreement did they reach?

Not only them, but even the members of the 'Yingchuan Party' who were present were also suspicious and guessing.

Xun Yu sat down, calmly calming down and saying: "Let's skip the matter of the Three Laws Division for the time being. The Shangshutai needs to discuss it in the long run. Next, we will discuss the 'clearing of land and household registration' and the allocation of land to those who have no land and who have less land." What do you think about the common people?"

Everyone was silent, their eyes wandering around Xun Yu, Xun You, and Zhong Yao.

These matters are Hu Cao's business, which is the responsibility of Prime Minister Xun Yu. They are also one of the hardest bones to crack in the "New Deal" plan.

It’s too late for others to push, so who wants to get involved?

As a result, the conference hall was predictably quiet, with no one saying a word.

Xun Yu waited for a while, nodded slightly, and said: "Then this item is passed. Colleagues, if you have other objections, you can raise them now. If not, tomorrow the Prime Minister will represent the imperial court and submit them to His Majesty."

After hearing this, the senior officials in the entire conference hall looked at each other and whispered again after a while.

Xun Yu remained calm and waited patiently.

The content of today's meeting was very sensitive. Although they put aside the 'land issue' in a roundabout way, other issues were equally serious.

Xun You sat next to Liu Xie, his face expressionless, but his eyes were very cold, and he glanced at Wang Lang and others from time to time.

Liu Xie continued to watch his eyes, nose and heart, as if he was completely unaware of the undercurrent in the conference hall.

Huangfu Jianshou, Chen Gong, Sima Jun and others did not whisper to each other. They were silent, thoughtful and sleepy, as if they did not hear Xun Yu's words.

After a while, Zhong Yao turned his head and said calmly: "What are you talking about? How can it be so noisy to discuss matters at the Chancellor's desk?"

Everyone immediately stopped talking and raised their hands in unison: "No one has any objections to this."

Xun Yu hummed and said calmly: "Then I'll second the proposal."

Lu Yu, who was in charge of recording on the side, listened and was stunned again and again. Did the tense atmosphere stop here?

Lu Yu soon regained his composure and distributed the memorials he had prepared long ago to the senior officials present one by one.

The senior officials read it carefully and saw that it was the content of their "New Deal" for the temple, and then signed and stamped it with pens.

Lu Yu collected and checked each one personally and handed it over to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu put it aside, his expression became more majestic, and said: "Everything has been decided. The imperial edict to change the Yuan Dynasty will be issued on the tenth day of the first lunar month next year. At that time, all Cao Cao, temples and officials must work together to eliminate bad governance, implement the 'New Deal', and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty!" "

Faced with this kind of official talk, all the officials present raised their hands and said: "I'll wait for my orders!" He straightened his back, remained calm, and became clearer about the course of national affairs.

Without showing any trace of the strange emotions inside, Xun Yu took the plate, stood up and left.

Xun You and Xun Yu followed closely, and the remaining officials waited for the three to leave, and fierce discussions broke out in an instant.

"Is this the end? Doesn't the Prime Minister talk about the administration of officials and the land?"

"Talk? How to talk? What to talk about? Aren't they the ones who have the final say on such big and small matters? This big discussion is just a formality, for His Majesty to see!"

"Look at what was decided for us? And look at what was decided for them? We still got a bargain!"

"This new prime minister is still not as stable as Mr. Yang. When Mr. Yang was here, why did he force me like this?"

"Hey, the Prime Minister is young and can't take on big responsibilities? His Majesty has entrusted the state affairs to the Chancellor. How can it be done like this?"

"Otherwise, who can I leave it to? Look, among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, who is suitable for the prime minister's heavy responsibility?"

"This...not really, then you can't leave it to a young boy, right?"

"I'm in my thirties, so I can't be considered a young boy. Hey, I won't say it any more. It's been decided anyway, so let's just go ahead and do it."

"Just hold on, there will be a day when we can't hold on any longer. Let's learn from those people, return home, become idle rich men, be happy and carefree, and no longer care about the rights and wrongs in the court..."

The courtiers left the chancery and formed groups in twos and threes, talking incessantly.

When they gradually walked away, Liu Bian walked out from the corridor of Jiade Hall, stood in front of the steps, looked at their backs, and said with a smile: "It is really the end of the world. On the surface, the courtiers spoke righteously and for When the time comes when our country is in danger, we should hide if we can, push if we can, but if we can no longer hide, we should resign and return home, waiting for the wind to change."

"Liu Qing's family,"

Liu Bian put his hands behind his back, smiled more, and said, "Tell me, will the direction of the wind change?"

Behind Liu Bian stood a middle-aged man who was quite tall and heroic, with a kind face, elegant and easy-going.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, not all courtiers are like this."

Liu Bianhe smiled and said: "If you avoid talking, then it will change. The wind direction will change, but people will not, but after the wind direction changes, they will become the right group of people. The wind direction changes, The right people also come and go. Officials are different from one another, and the national affairs are changing every day. Guo Zuo, who obviously still has some vitality, died due to rebellion and the enemy's country under such toss and turns. In fact, he died because of himself, and he can't blame others. …”

Liu Bei looked respectful, but felt uneasy in his heart.

He was suddenly called into the palace, and accompanied Liu Bian to hear the discussions. But, what did His Majesty mean by these words?

Liu Bei couldn't guess for a while, so he could only pretend to listen to the hadith.

Liu Bian pointed at those people and said to Liu Bei: "Qing family, I dare to bet you that before next year, there will be people resigning in just two or three days at the end of this year, and there will be quite a few. By next year, the 'New Deal' will look like It has been greatly advanced, but will soon come to a standstill... The imperial court and local officials began to argue and blame each other. The quarrel is the main thing, and the appointment is the last, or even not considered..."

Liu Bei vaguely understood something, and quietly raised his head, looking at Liu Bian's profile, and then quietly looked back after a moment.

The emperor in front of him was venting his dissatisfaction with the incompetence of his courtiers.

'Your Majesty, what is the purpose of summoning me? Liu Bei had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He couldn't figure it out and became even more uneasy.

Liu Bei has hardly achieved much in these years. He mostly failed in everything and wasted more than ten years running around here and there.

After finally reaching a high position, I thought I could show off my ambitions, but I never thought I would lose again and again, and I felt a little ashamed of my defeat.

But Liu Bei was tenacious and indomitable. He was not discouraged and kept looking for and waiting for opportunities.

Now, maybe this is a good opportunity!

Liu Bian was indeed venting his dissatisfaction with the courtiers.

The 'New Deal' is so complicated, and there are so many things, can it be so simply done at the Chancellor's desk? No one talks about the details and offers suggestions?

You and I have been fighting for half a month for an official appointment. How can such an important state affairs pass in silence with almost no obstacles?

Liu Bian suppressed his anger and vented it to Liu Bei. He looked at the dim sky, which seemed like it was going to snow again, and said, "Qing family, over there in Yuzhou, I don't want to see this kind of situation."

Liu Bei was startled, then slowly raised his hand and said, "I understand, and I will act in accordance with the order, day and night."

Liu Bian nodded slightly and said: "Do a good job in Yuzhou. I will conquer Yuan Shao in the future. I will use you as my commander. Don't let me down."

Liu Bei's heart suddenly surged, and he suddenly said loudly: "I will definitely live up to His Majesty's will!"

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, looked back at him, and said, "What do the Qing family think of Liu Biao?"

Liu Bei looked angry and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Biao is a member of the royal family, he is loyal and treacherous, and I deeply despise him!"

Liu Bian looked at him, and a strange thought suddenly occurred in his heart: Can you believe this Liu Bei? If he had the strength to separate a territory, would he appear to be respectful to the Han people, but in fact sit like Liu Biao and wait for the opportunity?

Liu Bei met Liu Bian's gaze, as if he saw something, and calmly lowered his head slightly.

Liu Bian smiled, shook off the idea, and said, "Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, please pay more attention. By the way, I heard that the Qing family lost its wife?"

This Liu Bei is much more rough than Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao was a eunuch, the Cao family could be said to be a famous family. Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, even bought a Taiwei, ranking among the three princes during the Zhongping period, which can be said to be very prominent.

Liu Bei grew up in poverty. When he got older, he weaved mats and sold shoes, working at the lowest level. Later, although he made some achievements by conquering the Yellow Turban Army, he could not stand the dirty atmosphere of officialdom and abandoned his official position.

After so many years of wandering and running around, I don’t know how many wives and children died.

Liu Bei didn't care much about these 'external things', but when Liu Bei asked about it, he still pretended to be sad and said, "It's me who has caused trouble to my wife."

Liu Bian didn't care what he thought, and said: "I heard that Sun Jian has a daughter who is beautiful and well-educated. I sent someone to ask Sun Ce what he thought."

Liu Bei was secretly frightened and said calmly: "Your Majesty, a man born here should regard his family and country as his career. Rebels and thieves will not be punished. The world is unstable, and I dare not do anything for my family."

Liu Bian just pretended not to hear and said: "This matter has been settled. After the Qing family returns to Yuzhou, make good preparations. Before leaving, go visit Da Sima and he will explain to you."

Liu Bei felt restless in his heart and did not dare to refute Liu Bian. He could only raise his hand and said: "I accept the order and retire."

Liu Bian nodded and watched Liu Bei leave.

"Having him here should buy me some time, right?" Liu Bian whispered to himself.

Yuzhou is now the site of the Four Wars, with Sun Ce and Yuan Shao in the southeast, Jingzhou Liu Biao in the south, and Yizhou in the west.

This place is connected in all directions, it seems to be a key point, a must-win place!

"His Majesty,"

Xu Yan came over quickly and said: "Wang Tingwei went to Da Sima's Mansion. Cao Sima is the only one in Da Sima's Mansion."
