Han family achievements

Chapter 39
Yuan Kai pretended to ponder for a while, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Sangong Mansion was custom-made by my great man. If it is abolished without reason, I am afraid it will cause a commotion in the government and the public."

The three mansions are the three mansions of Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei. This is the evolution of the prime minister's power being continuously divided.Up to now, the Sangong has basically become a vacant position, unless he is listed as "Lu Shangshu Shi", enters the Shangshutai, and becomes the prime minister.

Liu Bian looked at him and said: "I read the Taishiji, the number of officials in Emperor Wu's time was half of that in this dynasty."

Yuan Kai was a little surprised. He thought that Liu Bian was just pretending to read, but he actually saw something.

"His Majesty,"

Yuan Kui said: "There are more than two hundred years since the time of Emperor Wu, and the current situation has changed drastically. If your Majesty thinks that the Sangong Mansion is really vain, you can allocate it according to the situation, and there is no need to abolish it."

Liu Bian looked thoughtful, and said: "As appropriate? Shangshutai, I also want to adjust it. I plan to separate it and no longer belong to the Shaofu. What do you think of the Qing family?"

Shangshutai belongs to the Shaofu and is located next to the Forbidden Palace and the Jiade Hall. Since Emperor Guangwu, it has been an institution directly under the emperor and does not belong to the imperial court.

However, with the development of Shangshutai, it has become the center of the imperial court, and the prime ministers have become "recording Shangshu Shi", which is really a bit of a misnomer, and the words are not right.

Yuan Kai listened with surprise in his eyes.

This young emperor has already considered so much?Shouldn't he be busy fighting for power with He Jin?

He was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, Shangshutai, the matter is of great importance, involving the government and the public, and all local officials. They are easily touched, and there is fear of accidents."

"Tea,"

Liu Bian picked up the teacup, took a sip by himself, and said, "What about Jiuqing?"

Yuan Kui bowed, his expression pondering, and he didn't go to get the teacup.

'It turns out that he has already moved the idea of ​​cutting officials, in order to save money and food? '

He thought to himself, and said: "Your Majesty, Jiuqing belongs to it, it is indeed a bit redundant, and it can be simplified as appropriate."

Seeing that Yuan Kai finally let go, Liu Bian smiled, and said: "Okay. The Qing family will write a memorial book tomorrow, and I will take a look... There is no need for tomorrow, just now, come here, and prepare pens and ink for Yuan Qing's family." .”

The Zhonghuang Gate behind him responded, and turned to prepare.

Yuan Kui bowed his head and bowed his head. He was deeply puzzled and became more and more suspicious.

From announcing him into the palace in the middle of the night, to now asking him to write the memorial in person, coupled with the strict guards of the Forbidden Army everywhere, all signs indicate that this young His Majesty seems to be planning something!
'Deliberately delaying time? '

Yuan Kai said to himself, now the power is in the hands of He Jin, Shangshutai is He Jin's hall of speech, he has no power and power, why keep him here?
The pen and ink came quickly, and Yuan Kai picked up the pen without hesitation, paused, and began to write on the silk.

For him, writing such a memorial book does not require a draft at all, and he can do it at his fingertips.

But he still chooses his words carefully, each one seems to be upright and has something to say, but in fact it is ambiguous and has no attitude.

Liu Bian watched him write without moving his face, calculating the time in his heart.

Thirty miles to the capital, it takes about three hours, that is, it is almost dawn.

"The Qing family writes first, I'm going to go to the bathroom." Liu Bian got up and left after speaking.

Yuan Kai quickly put down his pen and sent Liu Bian off respectfully.

When Liu Bian's back disappeared into the darkness, he sat down slowly, holding a pen, pretending to meditate, but his heart became more and more uneasy.

Liu Bian walked a certain distance, passed a small yellow gate, and said, "Where is Da Changqiu?"

Xiao Huangmen said: "Go back to Your Majesty, Da Changqiu went to Chongde Hall, General Cao is there."

Liu Bian looked at the south, it was pitch black with few lights, and said, "Tell him, let him send guards to secretly watch the General's Mansion, the Sangong Mansion, and the Yuan Mansion. If there is any change, report it to me immediately!"

"Yes." Xiao Huangmen responded, and left quickly with small steps.

Liu Bian straightened his clothes, turned around and went back to the pavilion.

Yuan Kai stood up, handed over the silk, and said, "Please read it, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian said with a smile: "This is the Qing family and my family, there is no need to be polite, just sit down."

As he spoke, he took it, sat down, and looked through the light.

Until the end, Liu Bian curled his lips inwardly, this is indeed a cunning old man.

But his face was full of smiles, he put the piece of paper on the table into the silk, folded it on the table, and said: "Then, let's talk about the emptiness of Sili and the fact that Luoyang has no soldiers to guard. The Northern Army, the Southern Army, Xiyuan can't bear to protect Luoyang, what do the Qing family think should be done?"

Knowing that Liu Bian was deliberately delaying time, Yuan Kai had no choice but to feel confused, but he wasn't too worried, because he thought that the Yuan family had nothing to do with it, and it wasn't worth Liu Bian's thinking to deal with it.

After all, there was another He Jin in front of him.

After Yuan Kui sat down, he thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to restore the Northern Army, you need to recruit young and strong people and train them strictly. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, from money, food and equipment to recruitment and training, is not a one-day effort. , but also in the long run."

Liu Bian nodded and said: "I know this, but the soldiers of the Three Qin Dynasty cannot move, and there are no other soldiers to enter. The Yellow Turban banditry is becoming more and more prosperous. In the land of Jifu, we must be cautious."

Yuan Kai didn't expect that Liu Bian had already thought so much, and he had a new understanding of the young emperor in his heart.

There was a lot of contempt in his heart, Yuan Wei thought about it seriously, and said: "Your Majesty, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, each draw two thousand to Beijing, maybe it can be done."

Liu Bian didn't trust Yuan Kai, and naturally he didn't trust his suggestion. He said with a smile, "The situation in these places is already serious, and we can't move it for the time being. I sent General Lu to Chang'an and expected to recruit 3 people. The Marquis of Xixiang went to Chang'an. Qingzhou is also estimated to have 3 troops. The total is [-], plus the [-] from Sanqin, [-] from Luoyang, and [-] troops, can we keep Luoyang safe?"

Yuan Kai's expression remained motionless, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.

He only found out that Lu Zhi went to Chang'an not long ago, but Xixiang Hou Zhujun went to Qingzhou, he didn't know at all!
People from Yuan's family filled the General's Mansion, he didn't know, that is to say, He Jin didn't know either!
Good way!

In such a chaotic and crisis-ridden situation, the young emperor who had just succeeded to the throne actually had such a means of deceiving the world!

"No wonder these days, he is silent in the palace, allowing anyone to buy people's hearts and take charge of the power of the world... It turns out that there is such an arrangement in secret, a hundred thousand troops..."

Yuan Kui was old in the officialdom, and the city was extremely deep, no matter how shocked he was in his heart, there was no trace of it on his face.

Immediately, he realized another problem, these are the young emperor's secrets, they are very important, why tell him! ?
Yuan Kai became more and more suspicious of the announcement of him entering the palace tonight.

Holding his breath in secret, Yuan Kai said: "Your Majesty, if there are [-] troops around Sili, it will be safe. However, the imperial court may not be able to afford the money and food for the [-] troops."

With an army of [-], food, drink, and casualties are all money. This Liu Bian knew it in his heart, and smiled: "Let's not mention these for now. What I want to ask is, if it is feasible to expand the Habayashi Army?"

'Expand the Habayashi Army? '

Yuan Kai frowned, and remained silent in thought.

The Habayashi Army is in the hands of He Jin, and if he wants to expand the Habayashi Army, it is tantamount to depriving He Jin of his military power.

This is the foundation of He Jin's standing, how could he let go so easily! ?
'Could it be that he's going to attack He Jin! '

Yuan Kai was suddenly alert, and looked straight at Liu Bian.

The Yuan family had a close relationship with He Jin, and Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were under He Jin's command, so they haven't had time to get rid of them!
