Han family achievements

Chapter 471 Menacing
Xu You could naturally sense various targets around him, but he remained as still as a pine tree, without squinting his eyes, with a righteous look on his face.

Xun Yu looked at each other with Zhong Yao and others, looking thoughtful.

There were actually rumors outside that the Cao family had "invaded people's land and bought and sold officials." However, Xu You did not expect that Xu You had already obtained tangible evidence.

"Is there any evidence to prove that Mr. Cao is indeed involved in the case?" Zhong Yao looked at Xu You in the silence.

Xu You was startled, thought about it carefully, and said, "No, but Cao Song is the leader of the Cao family, so he has no escape from his crimes."

Zhong Yao looked solemn and said, "What I'm asking is, is there any concrete evidence?"

Xu You looked at Zhong Yao and then glanced at Xun Yu. He understood what he meant. He pretended to hesitate for a while and said, "Xing Cao hasn't discovered it yet."

Xun Yu felt relieved and nodded: "Okay. For those involved in the case, Xing Cao can arrest them as much as possible. If it involves Duke Cao, Cao Cao or other people whom Xing Cao has no authority to arrest, they must report it to the Chancellor and cannot make decisions without authorization."

Listening to Xun Yu taking off the noose, Xu You calmly touched his triangular beard and said, "If it is discovered that Cao Song or Cao Cao are involved in the case, and they have evil intentions, is it possible to punish Cao at an advantage?"

"No!"

Xun Yu stopped forcing him, but Xun You didn't want to let him go. He said coldly: "Xu Shangshutai, Shangshutai will meet Cao Cao's minister in the near future. The doctor will make adjustments and will inform you first."

Everyone took in everything and looked at each other quietly, feeling pressure in their hearts.

Today, Liu Bian has not returned to Beijing, but Xun Yu still has this privilege.

Luan Jia is already in Hedong, and will arrive in Beijing in a day or two at most. So what if your Majesty, Xun Yu, is the prime minister the next time he returns to Beijing!

"Yes, the Shangshutai is just making adjustments. This is the power of the Shangshutai, and each Cao Cao must not disobey." Xun You said calmly.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, the whole hall fell silent.

However, before Liu Bian left the capital, he gave Xun Yu special privileges. With the unanimous opinion of the Shangshutai, he could remove all the officials of Liucao and Jiu Temple.

"Your Majesty, please obey!" Everyone raised their hands and responded loudly.

Xu You and Xi Zhicai also raised their hands and said: "I will accept my order."

According to the rules after the reorganization of the imperial court, the prime minister and the chancellor had no right to appoint, remove, transfer, or even punish the six ministers and ministers.

Chen Gong quietly pulled Huangfu Jianshou over, walked side by side, and whispered: "Brother Huangfu, please tell me, is it really okay?"

Xun Yu flatly rejected it, his eyes became stern, and he said: "Xu You, I have something to say first. If you do not follow the rules and ignore the chancellery, I have the right to remove you from office!"

He leaned over and whispered a few words to Zhong Yao and Xu You, and then said: "After the discussion has been decided, we will make plans. I will say it again, everything must be done according to the plan of the Chancellor. Anyone who acts arbitrarily and ruins the overall situation will not be punished." Don't take mercy on me!"

Xun Yu looked around and saw that no one was speaking, so he finally suppressed these voices.

Xun Yu's meaning is very simple. The impact of 'Cao Cao's massacre of three cities' was too great. The Three Laws Division must be completely ended and cannot be entangled endlessly.

Before Huangfu Jianshou finished speaking, Zhou Yi suddenly came over quickly, ignoring Chen Gong, and whispered directly: "Huangfu Shangshu, the old empress has entered the palace."

Xu You's face was very ugly, and he was angry in his heart. He had a cold face and did not answer Xun Yu's words at all.

The imperial court has no energy to be distracted by these things, and the implementation of the 'New Deal' is their most important task.

Those present left the small conference hall one after another and left the palace one after another.

He looked around and saw that no one was helping him. He felt very angry and sat back with a livid face.

Seeing Chen Gong standing still, Zhou Yi didn't care about anything else. He directly pulled Huangfu Jianshou aside and whispered: "Cao Song went to Prince Chenliu's Mansion yesterday."

The Shangshutai continues to tighten its powers, which is not good news for the chief officials of their respective cao and temples.

Huangfu Jianshou looked puzzled and said, "What doubts does Zhou Fuyin have?"

Especially after the sudden rise of Cao Cao, the Cao family has also risen rapidly among the Han aristocratic families, and it seems that it will become one of the largest aristocratic families in the world!

Xun Yu stood up and walked out of the side door.

This is the first time that a minister Cao has been publicly intimidated like this!

Xu You's face changed sharply, he looked at Xun You and said in a deep voice: "Xun Pushe, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the ministers and ministers of each Cao Cao are recommended by the minister."

Xun Yu assumed the position of prime minister, what can everyone here do?

Although there are people behind him to support him, he is still just a small criminal Cao Shangshu in Shangshutai. He has neither power nor influence, and he can't compete with the three people in Shangshutai!

Now, Cao Song actually went to Chenliu Palace, and the old Queen Mother entered the palace today?
Is there any connection? Is there any unknown relationship between the Cao family and King Chenliu?
"What should we do? Does Luoyang City need to make some preparations?" Zhou Yi asked anxiously.

Xu You wanted to say more, but what he could see was the cold and stern gazes of Xun You, Zhong Yao, and Xun Yu.

However, Tian Feng was very calm and said in the silence: "Prime Minister, let's talk about Cao Cao's case now, which will be judged by the Three Laws Division. The other cases of Cao's family will be handled by Xing Cao. Is your understanding correct?"

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and said: "That's right. The trial must be concluded as soon as possible, and it must be well-founded. It cannot be delayed and repeated, and the decision must be finalized!"

Huangfu Jianshou's face changed slightly, and his mind changed quickly.

"Huangfu Shangshu,"

I have the support of noble people behind me!

Huangfu Jian glanced at Wang Lang and others not far away, who were walking deliberately slowly, and said quietly in a low voice: "Don't worry. Besides..."

The courtiers looked at each other with different expressions, secretly wary.

Cao Song's identity is very complicated. He is the adopted son of Cao Teng, the third generation leader of the Qiu Dynasty, and he also held the rank of Taiwei in the late emperor's dynasty. He has an unpredictable relationship with many aristocratic families such as the Xiahou family.

"I'll take the order!" Tian Feng said. He doesn't care about Cao Cao or the Cao family, he has his own plan.

Xun Yu has always been a gentle gentleman. He rarely quarrels with others or gets angry. He behaves in a gentle and gentle manner, taking his time.

As the governor of Luoyang, Zhou Yi controlled six generals and had more or less military strength.

Huangfu Jianshou quickly calmed down, analyzed it carefully in his mind, raised his head and looked in the direction of the Chancellor's Desk, and said: "Most of the things you can know, the Chancellor's Desk knows first. Let's not move for now and take a look. Yes. Now, that Sun Ce has arrived in Beijing?"

Zhou Yi shuddered secretly and said without any concealment: "Yes, I came to see my official last night. It was nothing more than a simple visit."

Huangfu Jianshou looked at him with strange eyes and said, "Did he tell you?"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Tell me what?"

Huangfu Jianshou looked at his expression and followed the words: "Then you didn't guess?"

Zhou Yi was startled for a moment, then opened his eyes suddenly, looked towards the palace and said, "You mean..."

"Silence." Huangfu Jianshou interrupted him calmly and said, "Okay. Go and call Sun Ce to the Bingcao. I have something to tell him."

Zhou Yi immediately felt that the water in Luoyang City was terribly deep. It was only now that he finally realized that His Majesty in the palace had actually returned to Beijing long ago!
Zhou Yi's mouth was dry and he was worried, and said: "Okay, okay, I'll do it right away."

When Zhou Yi came, Chen Gong came over and said, "Zhou Fuyin seems to be in a panic?"

Huangfu Jianshou shook his head helplessly and suddenly said: "Wu Jing is jumping up and down, aren't you worried?"

Chen Gong looked calm and said: "The Gong Cao can be stable for the time being, and the strategy of the Secretary's desk to hold off temporarily is the right one."

With the sudden arrival of the flood season, corruption involving rivers broke out one after another, making the government and the opposition worried.

The Shangshutai's strategy is not to investigate for the time being.

If we really want to conduct a thorough investigation, all the Gongcao, Hucao, and even Yushitai in Luoyang City will be implicated, and countless local officials will be implicated.

Huangfu Jianshou nodded, then looked in the direction of the Chancellor's Desk, and said: "It's really not easy for all the Masters of the Secretariat's Desk."

The huge pressure is all on the Shangshutai. Relatively speaking, what they bear is much less.

Chen Gong glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Wang Lang had not gone far, so he asked, "What does Wang Shangshu want to say to you?"

Huangfu Jianshou remained motionless, pretending not to notice, and said, "What do you think of today's events?"

Chen Gong looked thoughtful and said: "The princes at the Shangshutai are a little anxious."

Huangfu Jianshou also felt the same way and said, "What do you think it will be like?"

Chen Gong's face darkened for a moment when he heard this, but he still didn't say anything.

In the case of "Cao Cao's Massacre of Three Cities", the imperial court had already reached a consensus, which was to "treat it coldly", ask for punishment and hold the case accountable, and let it go.

But now the major case of "Cao's occupation of people's land and buying and selling of officials" has been revealed. At the beginning of Jian'an, when the court was trying its best to implement the "Five-Year Policy Outline of Jian'an", it was absolutely difficult for the court to hold it high and quietly. lay down.

Once the Cao family is severely punished, Cao Cao will not be able to escape!

Cao Cao is a Sima in the Grand Sima's mansion. In fact, the Grand Sima is also the key person in implementing the "military reform". If he is convicted or dismissed, it will be a huge blow to the imperial court!

In particular, after Chen Gong thought about it, the government and the public could not find anyone who could succeed Cao Cao!
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others were all young and could not support the Sima Mansion. As for Liu Bei, Huangfu Jianshou and others, they were even more hopeless.

When Huangfu Jianshou saw his silence, he didn't bother him and just looked in the direction of the Chancellor's desk.

Wang Lang, who was not far away, waited for a long time and saw that Huangfu Jianshou refused to come over. Knowing that he was avoiding him on purpose, he waved his hand and strode away.

Huangfu Jianshou saw Wang Lang leaving from the corner of his eye. He pulled Chen Gong and turned around, saying, "Let's talk as we walk."

Chen Gong was still thinking deeply and said: "If Cao Cao is deposed, many things will have to be started from scratch, and the potential harm will be too great. Cao Cao's old generals are scattered everywhere to lead troops."

Just as Huangfu Jianshou was about to speak, he suddenly saw a small official running out of the minister's desk in a hurry, and couldn't help shouting: "What's going on in such a hurry?"

The little official recognized Huangfu Jianshou and Chen Gong. He quickly stopped and raised his hands and said, "Go back to the two ministers. The prime minister wants to summon Cao Song. I'm here to deliver the order."

Huangfu Jianshou was not surprised and waved his hand.

The clerk bowed again and left in a hurry.

Chen Gong looked at his back and said: "Looking at it now, Shangshutai also wants to turn big things into small things for the Cao family."

Huangfu Jianshou paced and said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to get away from the chancellery. Xu You is coming very hard. From what he said just now, we know that he won't let it go easily."

Chen Gong pondered and said calmly: "What do you think is His Majesty's attitude?"

When Huangfu Jianshou saw him mentioning Liu Bian, he took a deep breath and said, "This is what I'm worried about too. Your Majesty has protected Cao Cao too many times, and with the Cao family incident, your Majesty's attitude may change. But for now Considering the situation, Shangshutai's approach is the safest, but... His Majesty will never accept such a safe approach."

Chen Gong nodded lightly and said, "I also heard news that Zhong Pushe took Cao Song's seventeenth daughter and Cao Cao's seventeenth sister as concubines."

Huangfu Jianshou was stunned again and again. He looked at Chen Gong in surprise and said, "Where did you hear this? Is it accurate?"

Everyone knows who Zhong Yao is. The relationship between the Yingchuan Party and Cao Cao has been very tense for many years.

Why did Zhong Yao take Cao's daughter as his concubine during this special period?
Chen Gong looked at him and said, "The news should be true, but I don't know the specific details."

Huangfu Jianshou turned to look at the Chancellor's desk again, his eyes strange and incomprehensible, and said: "If word of this gets out, the 'Yingchuan Party' will probably explode."

Chen Gong was also deeply troubled by the complexity of the court situation and said: "Let's take a look again. I hope there won't be a big mess."

Huangfu Jianshou nodded stiffly. At this time, he desperately wanted to ask his brother, but his brother's identity was too sensitive and he suppressed this impulse because of his guilt.

Changle Palace.

The two empress dowagers of the current dynasty were standing side by side, with Liu Bian's harem on both sides, and in front were several children playing around.

Today's Queen Mother He is pampered and graceful. Especially when looking at her grandchildren, she looks kind and amiable.

The old Queen Mother Dong, on the other hand, has a face that is expressionless, not angry and intimidating, with a high forehead, big eyes, and a thin face, giving people the impression that everyone looks cold and cold.

Queen Mother He looked sideways at Queen Mother Dong and said with a smile on her face: "Mother, these are your great-grandsons. You haven't given him anything yet, have you?"

Empress Dowager Dong didn't look at her at all, but just looked at the children.

Liu Yu, Liu Jing, Cao Pi, He Yan... these children were all strangers to Empress Dowager Dong.

In addition to not having been in the palace for many years, the most important thing is that she feels sorry for Liu Xie, who she brought up since childhood, and has no feelings for Liu Bian, the son of Queen Mother He.

Of the two grandsons, in her heart, one is and the other is nothing.

Seeing that Queen Mother Dong did not say anything, Queen Mother He said with pride in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows: "Mother, I, since I became a grandmother, I have discovered that it is not easy to be a grandmother. There are so many grandchildren, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh. Which one is bruised?" It makes me feel bad if I touch it, so I keep it with me from time to time. Whenever I don't see it, I feel so panicked that I can't eat or sleep..."

Empress Dowager Dong naturally knew that this poisonous daughter-in-law was secretly mad at her, so she snorted in her heart and said calmly: "I want to see Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty hasn't returned to Beijing yet." Queen Mother He said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help it anymore, turned to her and coldly snorted: "You can keep this trick for tricking those idiots. I must see him today."

Queen Mother He Shi Shiran stood up, pulled several children and said: "Good grandson, let's go, grandma will take you to see the flowers, and make you some delicious food in the evening..."

Several six or seven-year-old children cheered, surrounded Queen Mother He, and jumped out step by step.

Empress Dowager Dong was neither anxious nor annoyed. She sat there, slowly closed her eyes, and muttered something as if she was worshiping God.
