Chapter 54
After a few words, Liu Bian made a decision, and after explaining a few more words, he let the two leave.

Yuan Kai and Liu Yu left Liu Bian's study and returned from the Jingfu Hall to the Shangshutai next to the Jiade Hall.

Inside the Shangshutai, Ding Gong, Liu Hong, and Wang Yun were all busy. When they saw the two of them coming back, they subconsciously raised their heads to greet them.

Yuan Kui was still the same as usual, with a poker face and prestige, without looking at other people, he sat back in his seat silently.

Liu Yu was half happy and half worried. After sitting down, he glanced at Yuan Kai, and said to Ding Gong and others: "Your Majesty has made some decisions. Dong Zhuo will enter the capital as a captain..."

"No!"

Ding Gong categorically shouted, he didn't know who Dong Zhuo was, he was a tiger and wolf, how could he be appointed to such a high position as Taiwei.

Liu Yu was interrupted, and seeing the nervous expressions of the others, he continued: "Your Majesty has decided that Lu Ziqian will be the shepherd of Bingzhou and lead Liangzhou, Huangfu Yizhen will be the lieutenant of Sili and lead Yanzhou, I will lead Youzhou, and Zhu Gongda will be Qingzhou." Shepherd and lead Jizhou."

Ding Gong, Liu Hong, and Wang Yun were stunned again and again. Now, one person led two states, and four people led seven northern states?
This kind of thing has never happened before!
Liu Yu looked at the stunned expressions of the three people, and quickly said: "Your Majesty said, the situation is pressing, this is a temporary move, and we will make adjustments when the situation is stable."

Ding Gong came back to his senses, Shen Se thought for a while, but still felt uneasy, and said: "It's not impossible to arrange this way, it's just..."

Liu Hongfei glanced at the silent Yuan Kai, knowing that it was not easy, and said, "Then Dong Zhuo can agree?"

Liu Yu snorted coldly and said: "If you dare to refuse to obey the imperial edict, then you are disobedient, and you should demand it with a large army!"

Ding Gong, Liu Hong stopped talking, with a serious expression on his face.

Most of the big man's army was recruited temporarily, and now they are still chasing the Yellow Turban army at their wits' end. Where is the army?

In addition, Dong Zhuo refused to stop the Hanma and Qiang people in Xiliang. If a large army conquered Dong Zhuo, there would be chaos in the northwest, and it might be out of control!
Wang Yun was thoughtful, and interjected: "Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, are you going to hand them over?"

Liu Yu glanced at him and said, "If he enters the capital, he must hand over his troops."

Wang Yun subconsciously shook his head and said nothing.In his opinion, soldiers and horses are the capital of Dong Zhuo's life. Even if he enters the capital, he will prevent the imperial court from rising and falling, and take away the military power. Otherwise, Dong Zhuo will be a fish on the chopping board in Beijing?

Liu Yu noticed Wang Yun's movements, and was about to speak and then stopped, saying these things in front of Yuan Kai would inevitably reach Dong Zhuo's ears.

He turned his head and said to Ding Gong: "I still need to make some preparations, I plan to meet Huangfu Yizhen later, the soldiers of the three assistants may be available."

Yizhen, Huangfusong's character.

As a Taiwei, he is still qualified to have a good talk with Huangfusong.

Ding Gong thought over and over again, and said, "Lu Zigan, do you want to ventilate?"

Liu Yu hurriedly stopped, saying: "That's His Majesty's business, we don't need to get involved."

Seeing that Yuan Kai had been silent, Liu Hong felt a little strange, so he changed the subject and said, "What does Your Majesty say about filling in vacancies in the imperial court?"

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty said that we still need to consider it, so Zhong Yao and Huang Wan are tentatively appointed."

Wang Yun listened, his expression moved slightly, and he thought to himself: "Zhong Yao is from Liu Yu, and Huang Wan is a student of Yuan's family. What a coincidence?"Should I also enter the palace to face the saint? '

Yuan Kui heard their discussion, but was indifferent to it.

His vigilance against this young His Majesty has reached an unprecedented level!
He originally thought that Liu Bian transferred Dong Zhuo to Beijing because he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would lead his troops to Hedong, but he never thought that Liu Bian had such a big plan to control the entire seven northern states!

Before Yuan Kai, he only cared about grabbing important positions in the imperial court, ignoring the local state shepherds and governors!

Now, the young His Majesty wants to win the Seven States in one go, which caught him off guard and he couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.

'Lost opportunity...'

Yuan Kai frowned slightly, thinking about how to deal with it.

He could feel Liu Bian's dissatisfaction with him. He didn't care about this kind of dissatisfaction. Emperor Ling was dissatisfied with the courtiers all over the world, and even mobilized the party to imprison him. What could happen in the end?
At this moment, Wang Yun sorted out a pile of notes, shouted to the outside, and said: "Come here, and present it to Your Majesty."

Xun You stepped into the palace quickly, saluted Wang Yun, then picked up the plate and exited the Shangshutai.

As the servant of the Huangmen, one of the most important responsibilities is to shuttle back and forth between Shangshutai and the emperor.

For a long time in the past, this kind of duty was replaced by the Minister of Internal Affairs, and Xun You hadn't entered the Forbidden Palace for quite some time.

He took the tray out of the Shangshutai and turned to Jingfu Hall.

Xun You is in his early forties, but he is white and fat, with a goatee and a very elegant temperament.

He was holding the plate, without looking sideways, with a calm pace, but there was excitement in his heart.

On this plate, there is a melody that belongs to him!

He stayed up all night and carefully wrote out the 'Sixteen Strategies for Governing the Country', which is also his body of audience!

Not long after, Xun You came to Jingfu Hall, outside Liu Bian's study.

After the inspection by Zhonghuangmen, he came to the front and said loudly: "Xun You, the attendant of Huangmen, begs to see His Majesty."

It stands to reason that if the servant of the Huangmen sent it here, he would just hand it over to the Huangmen.

Liu Bian was sitting on the chair, looking at the memorial, his expression changed when he heard the words, he thought about it, sat down with a smile, and said, "Come in."

Xun You was holding a plate and approaching Liu Bian's desk with his head down.

Liu Bian didn't like to sit on his knees, so he was sitting on a chair. Xun You was a little surprised from the corner of his eyes, and said calmly, "The Shangshutai organizes the memorials, please read them, Your Majesty."

Liu Bian hummed, and when Pan Yin handed it over, he stretched out his hand to open it.

After reading too many memorials, Liu Bian has already figured out the way. In many memorials, you can guess the general idea from the first few sentences, especially the comments of Zhulu Shangshu.

Liu Bian flipped through it casually, and soon saw, "Xun You, the servant of the Huangmen, would like to report that the state affairs are difficult and the people's livelihood is poor. The minister presents sixteen strategies..."

He raised his eyelids and looked at Xun You with a calm expression. This one didn't leave, but bowed his body, his face was calm, his white and round face was like a pampered noble family.

Liu Bian withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the 'Sixteen Strategies for Governing the Country'.

"The Qing government eliminates malpractices, and the decrees unify the upright, the turbid, the pruning, the government, the increase of income and the reduction of expenditure, the promotion of Wang Shirui, the rectification of the land and acres, and the appease of the people..."

Liu Bian looked at it silently, thinking in his heart.

Compared to him, Xun You saw it relatively more clearly, pointing to the point in his words.

It's just that Liu Bian had other ideas in certain methods and methods, and Xun You took it for granted, and his estimation of the seriousness of the problems he was facing was not enough, far from enough.

For a while, Liu Bian put down the memorial, his face still contemplative.

Standing there, Xun You was really nervous, wondering if what he said could attract Liu Bian's attention, and then he would think highly of him.

After another half hour, Liu Bian slowly raised his head, looked at Xun You and said, "The Qing family thinks, how to get rid of the bad government and unify government orders?"

Xun You already had a draft in mind, raised his hand, and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, you should use history as a mirror and distinguish between interests and interests. It is good to strengthen the country and benefit the people, and harm the country to harm the people. Since Emperor Huan, eunuchs have harmed the country. , there are many bad policies, which must be abolished immediately."

Liu Bian nodded slightly, and said, "Unify government orders?"

Xun Youdao: "I believe that the official position of the imperial court is complicated, the powers and duties are intertwined, the government affairs are frustrated, and the business is like a quagmire. It is necessary to clearly define the duties and powers, and the boundaries are well-organized, so as to communicate with the state affairs.

These few words touched Liu Bian's heart, and he sat up straight and said, "What the Qing family said is in line with my wishes. I'm thinking about dismissing the Sangong Mansion and expanding the Shangshutai."

Xun You opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.
