Han family achievements

Chapter 71 Entering Beijing and Entering the Palace

At this time, Dong Zhuo was already on his way to Beijing.

Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kai rode together, while Cao Cao led the imperial guards and led the way straight to Luoyang.

Cao Cao's face was indifferent, and his eyes swept all around sternly.

On the left, right and behind him, there are five hundred soldiers of Dong Zhuo. These soldiers and horses will escort Dong Zhuo all the way to Luoshui.

Thinking of the experience of the past ten days, the murderous intent flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he hated: sooner or later, Cao Cao will kill you rebels!
In the carriage, Yuan Wei and Dong Zhuo sat opposite each other, staggering, looking at each other and smiling.

Yuan Kai seldom showed a smile, but facing Dong Zhuo, he smiled with admiration on his face, and said, "Zhong Ying, what are your plans for coming to Beijing this time?"

Zhong Ying, Dong Zhuo's character.

Dong Zhuo was fat and shapely, with big eyes and a big nose, especially his extremely red lips, which were very eye-catching.

He hastily bowed and said with a smile: "Zhuo Jiu is at the border, and he doesn't know anything about the capital. It is really helpless for him to enter the capital today, and it is all thanks to the protection of the Taifu."

Yuan Kai was satisfied with Dong Zhuo's attitude, nodded slightly, and said: "The affairs of the capital are complicated and changeable. If you enter the capital as a Taiwei, you must be the prime minister, and you need to participate more."

Dong Zhuo looked humble, and said: "Zhuo only has the courage of a man, and he has no talent for great politics. Everything is respected by Taifu Mashou."

The smile on Yuan Kai's face increased a little, no matter what Dong Zhuo thought in his heart, it was good to have his attitude. When he arrived in the capital, Dong Zhuo had no relatives, no power and power, who else could he rely on if he didn't rely on the Yuan family?
With Dong Zhuo, a Taiwei with a heavy hand in hand, the Yuan family acted much more obediently.

Thinking of what happened in the capital during this period, Yuan Kai's smile slowly disappeared, and he looked at Dong Zhuo quietly with his eyes, and said: "The imperial court is preparing for a new system, which will cut the power of Jiuqing by half and move them all to Shangshutai. What do you think?"

The corners of Dong Zhuo's face stiffened, and he said with a serious expression: "Zhuo thinks that the system of Jiuqing is the law established by the ancestors, how can it be easily changed? There are many treacherous and mediocre officials in the court, and your Majesty may be deceived. It is still necessary for the Tai Tuo to set things right."

Yuan Kai was used to Dong Zhuo's tone of intentionally dragging the text, and there was no emotion on his thin face, he said: "If I ask Zhong Ying to write a silk and oppose the new system, will Zhong Ying have any difficulties?"

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, looking at Yuan Kui with astonishment, and said, "Teacher, you want me to write a letter against the new system now? Is it a little urgent, can we talk about it in Beijing?"

Yuan Kai paid attention to Dong Zhuo's expression, smiled slowly, and said, "I didn't say now. After arriving in Beijing, the Taiwei's Mansion may not be cleaned up yet, how about living in my Yuan Mansion first?"

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "I've got what I want, I don't dare to ask for it."

Yuan Kai nodded his face, but shook his head in his heart. This Dong Zhuo is a reckless man. He doesn't know when he started to love reading. He even wrote articles and talked with people, showing his literary talents at every turn.

Cao Cao rode ahead on horseback, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Sansuke.

He has always intended to visit Lu Zhi in Sanfu, hoping to follow Lu Zhi to fight and make meritorious service, instead of guarding the palace in Beijing.

Without military exploits, where does the title come from?

Cao Cao has a very big ambition in his heart, that is, to become a prince with merit!
However, he also knew that without a suitable opportunity, he would not be able to leave the palace in a short time.

"I'm in my 30s..." Cao Cao looked at the gray sky and sighed with disappointment.

……

Three days later, the Imperial Palace, Fanglin Garden.

Liu Bian walked slowly, and said to Xun You who was behind him: "Xunqing's family, summer food is coming soon, I'm afraid there will be more troubles."

Once a poor family has some money, everyone in the family will rush to fight for it, let alone a country as big as the Han Dynasty.

Xun You is an official Cao Shangshu, but he is also concerned about the national treasury. Hearing this, he said: "Your Majesty, we must ensure that taxes and grains are collected as much as possible."

"I really want to." Liu Bian's voice became a little louder.

He really wanted to, but how many local state shepherds, governors, prefects and county officials are willing to send money and food to Luoyang?What's more, the imperial court still owed them their salaries, money and food for suppressing bandits, as well as disaster relief and pensions in various places.

That little tax is not enough for them to do their best, and there is not much left in the court.

Xun You naturally understood the complexity and difficulty involved, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Bian said again, "I just said it casually. The reason why I came to Qing's house today is because Dong Zhuo is coming to Beijing soon."

Xun You's expression sank, followed Liu Bian, and said, "Your Majesty, if Dong Zhuo enters the capital, he should start the matter of merging the state immediately."

Liu Bian walked into a gazebo, sat down and said, "I've already handed it over to Lu Qing's family. Sit at Qing's family, let's take a look at these two memorials first."

After thanking him, Xun You sat opposite Liu Bian and took the two copies of silk from Pan Yin.

The first was Yuan Kai's, and the content was unremarkable. It just praised Dong Zhuo a little, thinking that he was "a minister who governs the world and a pillar of the country".

After reading it, Xun You opened the second channel, swept it hastily, and his face changed immediately.

This is Dong Zhuo's memorabilia. He wrote a special letter about the achievements of his generals and asked the court to reward him; then he thought that his ability was limited and he was not worthy of the post of Taiwei, so he "declined" repeatedly; then he mentioned the "new system" of the court , saying that "the establishment of a person is filial piety, the establishment of a country is a law, and the law of the ancestors should not be taken lightly", "there is no trust in people, and the country has no way to stop the country" and so on.

After watching it, Xun You looked up in surprise, looked up at Liu Bian, and said, "Your Majesty, this Dong Zhuo..."

Liu Bian took a sip of tea and said expressionlessly, "It's expected."

Xun You lowered his head slowly, frowning in thought.

Yuan Kai's prestige is too high, it is unmatched today, and in Shangshutai, he is unmatched. He will not openly oppose it, but the introduction of Dong Zhuo is enough for the court to fear.

"His Majesty!"

Xun You raised his head fiercely, stared at Liu Bian with piercing eyes, and said, "Teacher Yuan must be persuaded!"

Yuan Kai, or the Yuan family, is not as simple as a gentry with unprecedented prestige and four generations and three generations. He represents a great Han family!
All the aristocratic families in the world are looking at Yuan Wei. It doesn't matter whether Yuan Wei is in court or not, what matters is his attitude.

Yuan Kui supports the 'new system', and the world's family has nothing to say; if he opposes it, even if he keeps silent, the terrible influence radiated by the world's family will hinder everywhere, making the court's 'new system' difficult!
Just like Wang Mang, he was able to usurp the throne because of his prestige and the support of the aristocratic family; when he failed, it was because he was opposed by the aristocratic family, and he was crushed to pieces by the enemies of the whole world!
Liu Bian looked at him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He understood what Xun You meant, the reason why Liu Bian kept Yuan Wei at Shangshutai was to use Yuan Wei, the leader of the family, to deal with the family!
Seeing that Liu Bian was silent, Xun You thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, please ask Dr. Yang to persuade Yuan Taifu, and move him with emotion and understand with reason."

To deal with a prestigious person, you can't use force, you can only use your mouth.

"Yang Ci is not enough,"

Liu Bian's expression remained unchanged, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said, "I'll come in person."

Xun You bowed and said, "Your Majesty, are you sure?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Yin rushed over and whispered behind Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, the imperial servant Yuan Ji, and the chief minister Huang Wan led more than 100 people from the government and the people out of the city to meet Yuan Taifu and Dong Zhuo."

Xun You was startled, such a big battle?
He subconsciously looked at Liu Bian.

Liu Bian reached out to pick up the teacup, expressionless, and said indifferently: "You inform Cao Cao and directly escort them into the palace. I want to see them immediately."

Xun You bowed slightly with a dignified expression.
