Han family achievements

Chapter 387 All kinds of strange things

"You said Wang Lang went to see Cao Cao? How did he go?"

Liu Bian stood in front of the Jiade Hall and did not see Wang Lang at all.

Xu Yan said: "Originally Wang Tingwei was going to the palace, but His Majesty was not here, so he went directly back to Da Sima's Mansion."

Liu Bian let out a surprised sound, looked at the dim sky with flashing eyes, and said, "Why does it feel like everyone is getting ready to make a move..."

Pan Yin, Xu Yan and others lowered their heads, how could they dare to answer the conversation.

Who can figure out the thoughts of these important figures in the imperial court? If they appear openly at such a time, they don’t know what their hidden intentions are! ?

Liu Bian stood in front of the Jiade Hall and stared at the dim sky for a long time. It wasn't until a chill hit him that he turned around and said calmly: "Ask Huangfu Jianchang to come into the palace tomorrow."

"Yes." Pan Yin lowered his head and followed Liu Bian in small steps.

Liu Bian did not return to Chongde Palace, but came to Yongle Palace.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Liu Bian saw some palace maids and eunuchs looking very flustered and their eyes evasive.

Liu Bian looked strange, but still strode directly towards the Queen Mother He's bedroom.

"Bian'er!"

Before walking a few steps, Queen Mother He came out of the main palace and shouted with a stiff smile.

Liu Bian vaguely heard something from Queen Mother He's tone and glanced back at Pan Yin.

Pan Yin shook his head, indicating that he was unclear.

Liu Bian greeted Queen Mother He and said with a smile: "It's cold today, I came to see the Queen Mother."

Queen Mother He did not pull Liu Bian in as before. Instead, she stood at the door with some restraint and said: "What's the matter? Spring will start soon. You are so busy with state affairs, so hurry up and get busy. There is nothing important here, Queen Mother."

Liu Bian listened to her words and saw her blocking the door again. He asked doubtfully: "Mother, what happened?"

Queen Mother He's smile became a little stiffer and she said, "If my mother has anything to do, you can take care of it."

With that said, Queen Mother He pushed Liu Bian out.

Liu Bian stood still, but Queen Mother He couldn't push him.

"Mother, if you have something to tell me, do we, mother and son, need to see each other outside?" Liu Bian said, bypassing Queen Mother He and walking inside.

Queen Mother He was startled and hurriedly chased after her, saying: "It's okay, it's okay. Queen Mother is really okay..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Liu Bian, who had crossed the threshold, stopped and looked inside quietly.

There was a middle-aged man sitting inside, who was feasting, his hands were greasy. When he saw Liu Bian coming in, he puffed his cheeks and looked at Liu Bian, and was stunned.

Queen Mother He was extremely nervous. She held Liu Bian's hand, her lips squirmed, and she explained in a panic: "Bian'er, that..."

"Ha, it's my second uncle..."

Liu Bian strode in without giving Queen Mother He a chance to explain.

He Miao, who was stunned there, quickly got up and wanted to swallow the food in his mouth, but couldn't. He hurriedly saluted and said vaguely: "I see your Majesty."

Liu Bian walked closer and looked at He Miao.

This second uncle's family was once a prominent person. He was ranked as a general of chariots and cavalry, second only to the general. He was granted the title of Marquis of Jiyang, which was a glorious moment.

After Liu Bian ascended the throne, he cleaned up all kinds of filth during the reign of Emperor Ling. Wang Yun found an excuse for He Miao to deprive him of his official position and title and return him to his hometown.

Later, He Miao was unwilling to go to Luoyang several times, secretly poking at him for unknown reasons. Liu Bian issued an order and ordered him to return to his hometown. He was not allowed to leave without permission.

But now, He Miao not only left without permission, but also appeared in the palace! ?

He Miao was quite embarrassed. He was wearing the clothes of an internal prisoner. He had obviously sneaked in pretending to be a palace official.

But now I couldn't swallow it, my face was red from holding it in, and my whole body was shaking.

Queen Mother He was also nervous. She stood next to Liu Bian and said with a stiff smile: "Bian'er, your uncle was bullied in the countryside and had to run away. Don't blame him..."

Liu Bian didn't pay attention to Queen Mother He's words and sat across from He Miao, with a strange look on his face and thoughts surging in his heart.

The courtiers outside the palace began to show their thoughts, and He Miao suddenly ran to Luoyang again... Was it because the imperial court destroyed Dong Zhuo, and everyone realized that there would be a period of peace next, and began to plot their own plans?

When He Miao saw that Liu Bian was silent, he was extremely panicked. He swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, knelt down with a pop, and cried: "Your Majesty, Henan Yin, if the Nanyang prefect insults me, please make the decision." !”

Liu Bian seemed not to hear what he said, and said calmly: "Did you run out on your own, or was someone instigating you?"

He Miao did not expect that the Queen Mother He did not stop Liu Bian, Liu Shen Wu Zhu said: "I am, I am, I miss the Queen Mother, so I came to Luoyang to meet the Queen Mother..."

Empress Dowager He quickly sat next to Liu Bian and said with added jealousy: "Bian'er, those people in Nanyang and Henan have gone too far. Not only did they deprive your second uncle of his salary, but they also borrowed money from time to time, saying they wanted to provide disaster relief. No. They just blocked the door and drove away the servants in the house, which made the chickens and dogs restless. Your second uncle couldn't bear it anymore, so he came to Beijing..."

Liu Bian didn't believe this at all. No matter what, He Miao was his biological uncle and the second brother of the Queen Mother He. Although General He was already a story, his power was still there. No one would bully He Miao to this extent.

Looking at the messy dishes on the table, Liu Bian looked a little strange and said, "What do you want to do when you come to Beijing?"

When He Miao heard this, he suddenly became excited and blurted out: "Your Majesty, minister..."

"He just wanted to see more of me,"

Queen Mother He suddenly interrupted him and said with a smile to Liu Bian: "After all, I am the only sister. He misses me and stays with me. Bian'er, look, there are so many vacant official positions outside, you Give him a casual reward, the kind that doesn’t require you to take care of things, just give him a name, that’s it, just..."

"Yes, yes, that's what I think. I just want to see the Queen Mother..." He Miao answered hurriedly.

Liu Bian's right hand gently rubbed the jade pendant around his waist, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

This He Miao actually wanted to come back and become an official again.

Is it really his idea, or is there someone behind it?

At this time, Pan Yin came to Liu Bian's back, handed over a memorial, and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the memorial of Duke Yang."

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, turned back to look at him, and said, "Yang Biao?"

"Yes." Pan Yin said.

Liu Bian took it, opened it and looked at it.

After reading it carefully, Liu Bian didn't see anything at all, so he read it again and immediately frowned.

There is no substantial content in Yang Biao's memorial. It is probably just a tribute to Liu Bian. It does not mention anything else at all. There is no hint between the lines. Liu Bian stared at this memorial with his eyes full of thought.

Yang Biao, perhaps frightened by the Yuan family's affairs, was forced into the position of prime minister by Liu Bian. He focused on "doing nothing" and did almost nothing. He did not touch anything and hid when trouble came.

During those few years, apart from getting some money for Liu Bian, he actually didn't do much.

As for becoming an official, Yang Biao had always longed for it. After becoming an official and returning to Hongnong, there was no news about Yang Biao. He stayed locked in the house all day and never saw anyone.

It happened that at this time, such a memorial was published. The memorial was full of nonsense and had no real content at all.

Liu Bian read it several times, frowning and thinking constantly.

He couldn't understand the content of this memorial, and he didn't know why Yang Biao suddenly got into such a memorial.

Seeing that there was no comment from the Chancellor, Liu Bian asked, "What did the Chancellor say?"

Pan Yin said: "Lu Yu said that this was for His Majesty and it was not for official business, so he did not give it to the Chancellor and sent it directly to the palace."

Liu Bian hummed, but still couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't be careless about Yang Biao. He looked up and saw He Miao still kneeling there. He couldn't help but feel bored and said: "Go to Hongnong to see Yang Biao and ask him According to the intention of the memorial, then stay with him in Hongnong, if you dare to take even half a step without purpose, I will exile you to guard the border in Liaodong!"

He Miao knelt on the ground, stunned again and again, her mouth moving, unable to say a word.

Seeing that Liu Bian was going to send He Miao to Hongnong, Queen Mother He hurriedly said: "Bian'er, Bian'er, if you don't want to be an official, you won't be an official. Just let him stay in the capital. Your grandmother passed away, and the queen mother is like this." You are a relative, for the sake of your mother, please spare your uncle just once..."

Liu Bian stared at He Miao, snorted coldly, and said: "For the sake of my mother, I will not pursue the case this time. After returning from Hongnong, I will stay in Luoyang."

"Yes, yes, I accept the decree, I accept the decree, thank you, your majesty, thank you, your majesty..." He Miao kowtowed like garlic, his tone full of excitement.

Seeing that Liu Bian did not embarrass He Miao, Queen Mother He showed a relieved smile and said to Liu Bian: "That's good. Call all the children over in the evening, and our family will have a good meal, and it will be lively... …”

Liu Bian responded casually, but his mind was still on Yang Biao's memorial.

After a few simple words, Liu Bian walked out of Yongle Palace with the memorial and said as he walked: "Send someone to Nanyang to check and see who He Miao has been in contact with recently. This memorial... please keep it in the center."

"Yes."

Pan Yin responded and followed closely: "Your Majesty, Zhuge Xuan has written again, saying that he is too old to be reused and refuses to take up his post in Beijing."

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, then couldn't help but smile, and said, "Well, since he doesn't want to come, he shouldn't come. Please pay attention to his two nephews."

"Yes." Pan Yin said.

Liu Bian went straight to the Chongde Hall and said: "You should also pay attention to the Dongguan side. You should be as careful as possible about the revision of etiquette, but you can't go to extremes. If you have the herbal medicine, show it to me first."

"Yes." Pan Yin said.

"Zhang Liao has arrived in Xuzhou, right? Let the troops be stationed in Guangling. Don't be careless." Liu Biandao.

"Yes." Pan Yin said.

"The hostages in the capital are also being watched carefully. Don't let anything happen to them, let alone let them run away." Liu Biandao.

"Yes." Pan Yin started to jog as Liu Bian quickened his pace.

……

When Liu Bian returned to the Chongde Hall, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, and Xun You were still revising the "Five-year Jian'an Policy Outline" in the Chancellor's Desk, and chatting at the same time.

"Others are easy to talk to, so Wang Lang should pay more attention." Xun You said casually.

Zhong Yao kept writing and said: "Well, it's a bit weird, let people keep an eye on it."

Xun You didn't even look up and said: "It's not as simple as just staring. I don't believe that he has not contacted Cao Cao before. What does it mean to be so obvious in front of us? What do you want to do? My idea is to take a preemptive strike and check the Tingwei Mansion first. .”

Zhong Yao frowned. As a former Tingwei, he didn't like anyone to check on Tingwei.

But he immediately said: "Don't be so direct. The court still values ​​peace. I will find an opportunity to talk to him."

Xun You snorted coldly and said, "Didn't we talk too much before? If he dares to mess around, I will make him unable to stay in Tingwei Mansion!"

Xun You has the qualifications to say this. There are countless people in the Tingwei Mansion who have been arranged by him. Once he gives the order, the government affairs of the Tingwei Mansion will instantly come to a standstill, or some means may be used secretly. Wang Lang has a hundred mouths and cannot explain.

Xun Yu raised his head at this time and said calmly: "Okay, there are still many things to do. I will submit this to Your Majesty tomorrow, and you will be responsible for the change of Yuan Dynasty. Yuan Chang, you will go to the Li Cao tomorrow to ensure that everyone Xiang Yicheng makes no mistakes."

Zhong Yao and Xun You responded. When Xun Yu spoke, they stopped talking and immersed themselves in work.

But deep down, they both had their own stubborn ideas about Wang Lang.

While the Chancellor's Desk was busy, Wang Lang left Tingwei's Mansion, and it was already midnight when he returned to the Mansion.

Wang Lang is also a very diligent person. He never arrives late or leaves early. It is common for him to stay up late and stay up late.

When he returned to the backyard, Yang Xiu was already here before he could change his clothes.

"Teacher." Yang Xiu raised his hand and saluted respectfully.

Wang Lang glanced at him and continued to take off and change clothes silently. After changing, he sat down aside and then said calmly: "Is it because of the matter at the Chancellor's Desk?"

Yang Xiu sat opposite Wang Lang and looked at the teacher who had become more serious and dignified since he became an official. He was no longer as close as before. He remained silent for a moment and said, "Yes, the student is a little uneasy."

Wang Lang took a sip of tea by himself, then looked into his eyes and said calmly: "Are you worried that I will be targeted by the 'Yingchuan Party', or are you afraid that your Majesty will be suspicious of me and Cao Cao?"

Yang Xiu was shocked and said quickly: "If the teacher knows it well, why do you have to be so direct?"

Wang Lang did not squint his eyes, and said: "I have acted so openly, and if the Yingchuan Party still targets me, what have I done wrong? Cao Cao is your Majesty's favorite. I talked with him at the Shangshutai , chatting freely with him in Da Sima’s Mansion without avoiding others, why does Your Majesty have any suspicion of me?”

Yang Xiu was stunned again and again, and for a moment he couldn't refute Wang Lang's words.

"You do your job well at the Chancellor's desk,"

Seeing that Yang Xiu had stopped talking, Wang Lang withdrew his gaze and continued to drink tea, saying: "You don't need to worry about what I say or do, you do your own thing. Don't contact Cao Cao, and don't contact Cao Cao's people. .”

"teacher,"

Yang Xiu came back to his senses and said hesitantly: "What are you going to do? Are you doing it alone, or... is there someone with you?"

Wang Lang also came to his senses at this moment, and said with a hint of color on his face: "Who are you talking about? Did your father write to you?"

"No father involved?"

Yang Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded him: "Teacher, it's better not to argue with them. The Yingchuan Party is powerful and your Majesty has your trust. No one can touch them for a while."
