Han family achievements

Chapter 482 State-owned Reserve Deputy
Yong'an Palace.

Liu Bian put Liu Yu on the bed and covered him with a quilt.

There were still tears on his face, his brows were furrowed, and his grievances were written all over his face.

Liu Bian was silent for a while and then said, "You don't want him to find a teacher?"

Tang Ji pursed her lips and said uneasily: "I think he is still young, so I don't want him to go..."

Liu Bian reached out and touched the little guy's brow, but his brows were still twisted together stubbornly.

"Look for it,"

Liu Bian took back his hand, looked at Tang Ji, and said, "I will make arrangements."

Tang Ji looked at Liu Bian with a mix of worry and joy, and saluted, "I thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian looked at Tang Ji for a moment, then stood up gently and left Yong'an Palace.

After leaving Yong'an Palace, Liu Bian headed south, thinking as he walked.

The little guy's reaction was unconscious. He just felt that if his brother had it, he should have it too. There was nothing wrong with that in itself.

It’s just a matter of finding an enlightenment teacher.

But they are not ordinary people!
"His Majesty."

I don't know how long it took, but a soft call came from behind Liu Bian.

Liu Bian stopped and looked up. Unknowingly, he came to Jiade Hall.

Pan Yin was a little worried, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Liu Bian took a deep breath, waved his hand, and looked at Jiade Hall, still thinking deeply.

'The Jiade Hall, yes, it is the Jiade Hall. It was here that I decided to fight with Empress Dowager Dong, Liu Xie, and the eunuchs. At that time, I was not fighting for the throne, but for my life. '

Memories that had long been forgotten came back like a tide, and Liu Bian was in a trance, returning to the thrilling day and night many years ago, when his life was hanging by a thread.

If he loses at that time and Liu Xie ascends the throne, will Empress Dowager Dong, the eunuch, let him go?

The answer is yes - no!
Even if he was victorious, he had murderous intentions against Liu Xie countless times, and even almost did it.

If the overall situation hadn't been too chaotic at that time and he needed to win over the people of the world and establish a tolerant persona, Liu Xie might have suffered a "sudden illness" long ago.

"Pan Yin, tell me, what should I do?"

Liu Bian recalled for a while, looked at Jiade Hall, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

He was a little confused.

He has always felt that establishing a prince too early would be harmful to the stability of the royal family and the court, especially at a time like this.

The battle for inheritance is too cruel, and there are countless lessons of blood and tears in history.

But since the Wang Yun incident, Liu Bian's view has been wavering.

The fight for the heir has nothing to do with whether or not to establish the crown prince. They were already competing with each other when they were young, but they stopped fighting when they grew up?

What a unique location in the world!
Is there any greater temptation in the world than this?

When Pan Yin heard Liu Bian's vague words, he was stunned for a while, but still didn't understand, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, are you asking the villain?"

Liu Bian was still in a daze and said subconsciously: "Tell me, should I put an end to their delusions earlier?"

Pan Yin heard clearly, but in the fog, he had no idea what Liu Bian was referring to, so he could only accompany him silently.

Liu Bian thought about it over and over for an unknown amount of time, but still couldn't come up with an idea. He suddenly let out a long breath and said, "Is the Prime Minister at the Chancellor's Desk? Let him come and walk with me."

Pan Yin has followed Liu Bian for many years and knows that whenever the word 'I' appears, it means that certain things are difficult to decide. He has a clear mind and vaguely guessed something. He said without missing a beat on his face, "Yes."

Pan Yin trotted to invite Xun Yu in person.

Liu Bian glanced at the chancellor's desk, turned around and walked towards Fanglin Garden.

The Chancellor's Desk is right next to the Jiade Hall. Liu Bian stood at the door of the Jiade Hall for a long time, with countless pairs of eyes staring at the Chancellor's Desk.

When Pan Yin walked towards the Chancellor's Desk, someone had already reported that Mr. San Gong was on duty at the Chancery's Desk.

While Xun Yu was still wondering, Pan Yin had already arrived.

Pan Yin stood respectfully at the door and looked at Xun Yu with a smile.

Xun Yu quickly waved away the clerk on duty, looked at Pan Yin and said, "Is there something wrong in Changqiu?"

Xun Yu's attitude towards Pan Yin or the Huangmen in the palace has always been that he will not be close, not alienated, and not associated with others, and will not offend him. This as plain as water attitude is consistent with the hostile attitude of the civil servant group represented by He Jin towards the eunuchs in the palace in the past. Very different.

Although Pan Yin did not have as big ambitions as the Twelve Eunuchs, he was very happy to be respected by the prime minister of the time.

He waited for the minor official to leave, then entered the door, raised his hand to greet Xun Yu, and said: "Prime Minister, this is your Majesty calling you."

Hearing that Pan Yin used the word 'call', Xun Yu stood up and said with confusion: "Your Majesty called me? What's the matter?"

Pan Yin glanced back, stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty is in a very bad mood. The Prime Minister should be careful in his words and deeds."

Xun Yu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you Da Changqiu."

Pan Yin leaned forward calmly and got out of the way.

Xun Yu left the duty room, walked out of the Chancellor's desk, and under the guidance of the yellow gate, went straight to Fanglin Garden.

Every move in the palace attracted the attention of both the government and the public, and the Chancellor's Desk was even more sensitive. As soon as Xun Yu left, countless whispers arose in various rooms.

When Xun Yu arrived at the gate of Fanglin Garden, he saw Liu Bian quietly looking ahead with his hands behind his back.

Xun Yu paused for a moment, inexplicably feeling that this figure from behind seemed a little lonely.

This was the first time he saw Liu Bian. In the past, no matter how big the crisis was, Liu Bian at least appeared confident and had everything under control.

"Come with me for a walk." Liu Bian heard the footsteps and walked forward.

Xun Yu responded immediately and followed Liu Bian.

"Everyone else is waiting here. I will chat with the Prime Minister alone for a while." Liu Bian said again after walking a few steps.

Pan Yin, Dian Wei and others immediately stopped, and only Xun Yu followed.

Liu Bian walked slowly, feeling uneasy with his thoughts.

He had realized a long time ago that the title of "Crown Prince" was a big problem, and believed that establishing a crown prince too early would be very detrimental to the crown prince and the court. But all kinds of things have clearly told him that not establishing a crown prince will also cause a lot of troubles, especially today's incident with Liu Yu. It may seem inconspicuous, but in Liu Bian's eyes, he seems to have seen the disasters of Xiao Qiang, Jing Nan, and the Seven Kings. , the Eight Kings, the sound of axes and the shadow of candles, the nine sons taking over the legitimate sons, and other misfortunes.

Xun Yu followed Liu Bian and saw that he was silent for a long time, so he also remained silent.

He could feel that his Majesty had encountered a big problem, and his face was full of hesitation - this was an extremely rare expression.

"Prime Minister, do you think the Crown Prince should be established early or late?"

I don't know how long it took, but Liu Bian suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xun Yudao.

Xun Yu was slightly startled, but he didn't expect Liu Bian to be troubled by this. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The East Palace has a master, and the state has a vice president. The king's seal is difficult for others to see, the artifact is like a mountain, and the country is still the same."

Liu Bian's expression remained unchanged and he said: "What if the princes are dissatisfied, plot to attack, the ruling and opposition parties join forces, and the internal strife continues?"

Xun Yu said: "The country has a eldest king, and there are distinctions between direct descendants and concubines. The world follows this, so how can there be internal strife?"

Liu Bian stared at him for a moment, then turned around without comment and continued walking forward, saying calmly: "I am only twenty-five years old. If there is no accident, I can live for several decades. Is there a prince in this world who can live for thirty or forty years?"

Xun Yu followed Liu Bian step by step, with a firm expression and a calm tone, and said: "Your Majesty, your father is kind and your son is filial. Why do you say what will happen decades later? Your Majesty never lectures his ministers often. He is based on the long term and pays more attention to the present. Stability is the key to long-term success.”

Liu Bian shook his head secretly. He understood Xun Yu's attitude, but Xun Yu failed to resolve his concerns.

Simply, he pointed to the topic directly and said: "Qing family, you have read many poems and books, tell me, how can we avoid the disaster of Xiao Qiang and the princes seizing the legitimate rights?"

"When you are in the East Palace, all the disciples will be vassals." Xun Yu's answer was extremely simple. This was also a lesson learned through blood and tears in all dynasties.

Once the prince comes of age, he must be sent out of the capital as soon as possible, otherwise there will be chaos!

Liu Bian said: "I have said that from now on, the princes will not be allowed to leave the capital for three generations."

The Han Dynasty adopted a system of demotion. After three generations, as people became farther away from the royal family, the threat became less great.

Xun Yu looked at Liu Bian's side face and said: "Your Majesty, if you are in Beijing, if there is something wrong with the East Palace, there will definitely be chaos, chaos, and witchcraft."

When Liu Bian heard the word 'witchcraft disaster', his brows jumped sharply and he remained silent.

The so-called "witchcraft disaster" mentioned by Xun Yu refers to the fact that Liu Zhi, the crown prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was falsely accused of rebellion and was forced to commit suicide. He took his mother, the queen, to commit suicide.

This tragedy was quickly dismissed, but its impact lasted throughout the Han Dynasty.

Seeing that Liu Bian was still hesitant, Xun Yu thought for a while and said, "I know your Majesty's worries, but that is a matter for the future. When the princes come of age and there are signs of taking over the heirs, I believe that your Majesty can handle it properly!"

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Xun Yu, and said, "Do you really think so?"

Liu Bian has seen too many historical lessons like this. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States to the Qin and Han Dynasties, people as wise as Tang Taizong Li Shimin and as domineering as Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Even Kangxi, the self-proclaimed saint ancestor, has not escaped the "Curse of the East Palace" .

Liu Bian thought that he was far behind them. He never thought that they could not do anything well. He would succeed if he read a few more books.

"Yes!" Xun Yu looked at Liu Bian with burning eyes, full of trust in Liu Bian.

Liu Bian looked at him blankly and couldn't help but doubt himself: Am I worrying too much? Scaring yourself?
Xun Yu further explained: "Your Majesty, looking at ancient and modern times, it is not the princes who are the ones who take over the throne, but it is your Majesty. As long as your Majesty is as firm as iron, who can fall? Your Majesty has watched the princes grow up. I believe that as long as your Majesty has a little bit of determination, Everything your Majesty is worried about will not happen!"

Liu Bian's eyes narrowed and his heart raced.

Although Xun Yu's words were suspected of flattery, they did eliminate many worries in Liu Bian's heart.

'Yes, the battle to seize the heir will not go silently. As long as I notice it, I will start immediately, no matter if I stop it or give it a heavy blow, as long as my heart is firm, who can mess up? '

Most of the worries in Liu Bian's heart were gone, and there was a smile on his face again. He took out the folding fan from his waist, threw it to Xun Yu, laughed and said, "The Prime Minister is right."

Xun Yu took the folding fan and quickly followed, saying: "Your Majesty, do you want to establish a crown prince?"

"stand!"

Liu Bian was in a good mood and said: "It is necessary to have a heir. If I have an accident one day, it will not happen again."

"Your Highness?" Xun Yu asked after him.

The palace has repeatedly given hints that the seat of the East Palace is the emperor's eldest son Liu Shao, and both the government and the public know that His Majesty loves the Second Highness and loves him very much.

This has always made the government and the public very worried, worried that His Majesty would destroy the elders and establish younger ones, breaking the rules in the palace.

"Ah."

Amid Xun Yu's uneasiness, Liu Bian nodded and said, "Let Cai be the queen, but not now. When Cao Cao returns from the victory over Wuhuan, we will take the opportunity to announce it."

Xun Yu was overjoyed, fell to the ground and worshiped: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Liu Bian's eyelids twitched unconsciously, and he turned to look at Xun Yu who was kneeling on the ground. He didn't expect that Xun Yu would pay such attention to this matter!

'It seems that I have indeed overpressed the imperial court. '

Liu Bian smiled brightly and said: "Sure it up. For the time being, only the three of you at the Shangshutai are allowed to know about this matter. If it spreads, I will ask you for your guilt!"

Xun Yu's slightly mature face was full of excitement and solemnity. He raised his hands and said solemnly: "I accept the decree!"

Liu Bian pressed his hand down and continued to walk forward, saying: "The establishment of the crown prince has eliminated a worry for the Qing family and the court. Next, should you make some achievements for me to see?"

Xun Yu followed the conversation and said: "Your Majesty, this year, Shangshutai is determined to seriously rectify the administration of officials. We will replace at least 500 people in the court and local governments, including at least half of the chief officials of counties and counties. We will deal with other officials at all levels severely. , never show mercy, no matter whether...it is the 'Yingchuan Party'."

Liu Bian was very happy about Xun Yu's promise, and said with a smile: "I feel relieved when the Qing family says this. Although the property copied by the Cao family has not been completely sorted out, two hundred million yuan was allocated to Hu Cao It’s no problem, this money is enough to do a lot of things, especially to provide peace of mind.”

Xun Yu took a deep breath calmly and said, "I understand."

Two hundred million, for Xun Yu, was a windfall that quenched his thirst!

This amount of money is equivalent to two years of taxes for the imperial court.

Of course, he knew that what Cao copied must be more than this, but he was already satisfied and did not ask for more.

Liu Bian hummed and said: "Yanzhou and Jizhou are the focus of reassuring the people. There are so many wastelands that need to be used. I have read your 'Land Equalization Law', but there are still many shortcomings. Many things are not clearly written. I will add I'll give it to you in a few days. You can discuss it with Shangshutai and Liucao. If it can't be promulgated as soon as possible, you can implement it first. "

"Yes." Xun Yu lost the joy of saying "The East Palace is settled" and looked at Liu Bian's words with a look of concentration on his face.

His Majesty never makes a mistake. Today, he suddenly wanted to establish a crown prince. This was not only due to some kind of stimulation, but also because the 'New Deal' had reached a critical point and needed a strong push.

Liu Bian paced and said: "It's up to you to decide what to do, and I won't tell you anything else. Let's talk about something else. I'll feel comfortable leaving Shao'er to the Qing family. The Qing family will pay more attention to it. Yu'er is also looking for a teacher."

"Yes." Xun Yu responded, saying this was nothing.

Liu Bian hummed again and said: "As for the candidate for Youzhou Mu, Zhu Jianping is good. Let him be his choice. You and Xun You should talk to Xun You about the distinction between public and private affairs, and not to abolish public service for personal reasons."

Xun Yu's expression tightened, and he heard the strong warning in Liu Bian's words.
