Han family achievements

Chapter 94 Unspoken Rules

In the early morning of the next day, people entered the Shangshutai one after another, and the small meeting hall was soon full of people.

Situ Dinggong of the Sangong, Sikong Liu Hong, Taiwei Dong Zhuo, Taizhong doctor Yang Biao, Wang Yun who recorded Shangshu affairs with Shangshu, Shangshu Xunyou, Tingwei Zhongyou, and Tang Mao, the prefect of Kuaiji.

Ding Gong and Liu Hong were sitting there, looking at the ground calmly, keeping silent and not having any communication with others.

Ding Gong's sudden recommendation of Jin Shang as Yanzhou pastor was the direct fuse that led to the collapse of the Yuan family.Ever since he got the memorial book, he has been staying in the house, waiting to be questioned.

Liu Hong has always advanced and retreated with Ding Gong, and he is naturally to blame for Ding Gong's situation.

Dong Zhuo was sitting upright, not looking sideways, with a loyal and solemn expression on his face.

In his heart, he was even more anxious than Ding Gong and Liu Hong. His relationship with the Yuan family is well known, and he racked his brains to escape from Luoyang City these days, but none of them succeeded.

Yang Biao was relatively calm, sitting there on his knees, sullenly, blinking his small eyes, thinking about what would happen today.

——Today is the execution day of the Yuan family.

Wang Yun seemed to have returned to the past, calm and silent.

Xun You and Zhong Yao sat at the back, pretending not to notice the vague gazes.

Tang Mao was sitting next to Yang Biao, feeling very puzzled, not knowing what was going on with him today.

Everyone was full of thoughts, and no one spoke. It was very different from the past, and the meeting hall was as quiet as if it was empty.

"His Majesty is here!"

Pan Yin came in from the door, glanced at the hall, and said sharply.

A group of people waited for Liu Bian to come in, they all saluted and said: "I will see Your Majesty."

Liu Bian smiled, sat down on his seat, and then said: "Your honor is welcome."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers withdrew their hands and sat down on their knees again.

They didn't look at Liu Bian, and they all knelt and sat very standard without any unnecessary movements.

Liu Bian looked around the group of people, tried his best to put on a gentle smile, and said, "Today, I summoned your family to discuss a few things with you. The first thing is the case of the Yuan family. The details, the case file, You've seen it all, and tell me what you think."

No one answered.

Everyone remained motionless, pretending to listen to the hadith.

Most of the people present here have complicated relationships with the Yuan family, and it is lucky not to be implicated.

Regardless of this level, as ministers of the current dynasty, they were born in a family, and now the Yuan family, the first family, has been punished, and they have sympathy for each other.

Liu Bian's gaze slowly swept across their faces, and fell on Ding Gong's face, and said, "Ding Qing's family, please tell me first."

Ding Gong's eyes were filled with sorrow and anger, the corners of his face were straightened, he said in a low voice, "I can't recognize the ambition of the Yuan family's wolf, and acted as a minion for a tiger. Please punish me severely!"

Liu Bian smiled and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty. It doesn't matter if you talk about something today. The Qing family just say it."

Ding Gong felt extremely bitter in his heart, he stood up and raised his hands, saying: "Return to Your Majesty, the Yuan family deserved what they deserved for today's end."

Liu Bian looked at Liu Hong and said, "Liu Qing's family, please say something different."

Liu Hong didn't know what Liu Bian wanted to hear, he thought about it and said, "Return to Your Majesty, what the Yuan family did has caused people and gods to hate it, and His Majesty's handling of it in this way is really benevolent."

"Liu Gong,"

Xun You quickly interjected, saying, "The decision to dispose of the Yuan family is made by Shang Shutai and has nothing to do with Your Majesty."

Liu Hong suddenly came to his senses, and quickly said: "Yes, it was a slip of the tongue, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Liu Bian ignored him, turned to Dong Zhuo, and said, "Dong Qing's family, what do you think?"

Dong Zhuo said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Yuan family is really a villain, bringing shame to the court."

Liu Bian didn't expect to hear anything useful from him, so he smiled at Wang Yun and said, "Wang Qing's family."

Wang Yun's expression was as usual, and he said: "Your Majesty, I think that the gloomy court and the collapse of discipline gave the Yuan family a chance to expand their ambitions. As a courtier, you must cultivate your character internally and cultivate your virtue externally."

It's useful.

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Wang Qing's family said something useful. Yang Qing's family."

Cold sweat broke out again on Yang Biao's head. He wanted to wipe it but didn't dare to wipe it. He raised his hand nervously and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the Yuan family was blinded by the power and lost their heart. I think, I think, as a Courtiers, you must be indifferent to fame and fortune, know righteousness, know right and wrong, and regard the country with a public heart."

Liu Bian looked at him, paused, and said, "Yang Qing's family is right."

Then, he looked at the remaining Xun You, Zhong Yao, and Tang Mao, sat up straight without giving them a chance to speak, and said, "Wang Qing's family and Yang Qing's family are right. Reconstruct the outline, Yushitai, and Shangshutai jointly revise the imperial outline and law, and after I have read it, I will promulgate it at the right time."

"The ministers are waiting to receive the decree." All the ministers raised their hands and bowed in unison.

Liu Bian said in a calm voice, and then said: "Next, the imperial court will fill in the vacancies. Jiuqing is missing three, Shangshu is missing four, and there are more than 20 others."

Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Dong Zhuo, and Yang Biao basically had no hope for these, so they were indifferent.

Tang Mao was completely an outsider, he had been observing everyone silently, never making a sound.

Only Wang Yun, Xun You, and Zhong Yao were serious.

Xun You and Zhong Yao were worried that Wang Yun would take the opportunity to cultivate private individuals, making the court a mess and ruining Liu Bian's plan.

Wang Yun was dissatisfied with Xun You and Zhong You, and he didn't want the two who were born in Yingyang to create a township party in the court.

Liu Bian had a panoramic view of their expressions, and said: "Li Ru, Li Su, Zhonglang General Niu Fu, fill in the vacancy of Shangshu. Cai Yong is the Taichang, Kong Rong is the servant, and Liu Dai is the Dasinong. Call the Changsha prefect Sun Jian enters Beijing."

When Wang Yun heard Li Ru's name, he was naturally overjoyed, and soon after hearing Li Su and Niu Fu, he couldn't help but glance at Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened sharply, and then he regained his composure, but his hands on his knees were already tightly clenched into fists.

Liu Bian kept watching Dong Zhuo, and said calmly, "What's your opinion, gentlemen?"

Ding Gong, Liu Hong, Yang Biao and others couldn't tell, they didn't speak, their eyes were all on Dong Zhuo, but they ignored the others.

Dong Zhuo felt it, but turned a blind eye to it, and tried his best to maintain a calm look, but he was thinking in his heart, as soon as he left the palace, he would write to them and not allow them to enter the capital!

Xun You, Zhong Yao and others naturally would not speak out against it.

Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Bian said again: "Jia Kuaiji Prefect Tang Mao is the captain of Sili. He does not lead military affairs, but focuses on political affairs."

How could Tang Mao have imagined that a good son-in-law asked him to enter the palace to give him a promotion!

The words 'Sili Lieutenant' echoed in his ears, his heart was surging and he couldn't calm down, but his face remained motionless, and he bowed calmly and said: "I am in command, thank you."

The tone was calm, without any emotion.

The others all glanced at Tang Mao, almost feeling nothing special.

As Liu Bian's father-in-law and also the prefect of Kuaiji, it was only natural that he be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant of Sili.

"It won't be long before he will have a seat in the position of the three princes." Wang Yun observed Tang Mao and thought to himself.

Xun You didn't care about this appointment, but chewed on the eight words of "not leading military affairs, focusing on political affairs". He vaguely felt that Liu Bian's arrangement was not because Sili's military power was too complicated, and it seemed to have deep meaning.

Seeing that things were going well, Liu Bian took the tea cup handed over by Pan Yin, took a sip, and said with a smile, "The rest of the vacancies will be discussed by Shang Shutai. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any other matters?"

Seeing this, Liu Hong and Ding Gong glanced at each other quietly, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, the ministers are so stupid that they neglected the Yuan family and almost caused a big mistake. I ask to be resigned from my post, and I will be dealt with by the judge!"

Yang Biao didn't even think about it, he followed him and said: "Your Majesty, I and the Yuan family are related by marriage, even if I don't know that the Yuan family is so vicious, I can't absolve myself of the responsibility, I implore Your Majesty to take away his post and punish."

Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed brightly, and he prostrated himself and said, "Your Majesty, I have been supported by the Yuan family several times, but I don't know their intentions, so I will inevitably be suspected of being a partisan. I ask you to take your post as a crime."

Among the five recording ministers, only Wang Yun was sitting there kneeling upright.

Wang Yun looked at the four of them, his heart was filled with anger, and he bowed down with his face unchanged: "I am also a frequent visitor of Yuan's family, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Xun You, Zhong Yao, and Tang Mao couldn't help but look at each other when they saw that the five Lu Shangshushi were all demanding to be dismissed from office.

This is also one of the consequences of killing the Yuan family.

Xun You's heart raced, thinking about how to speak to get over this situation.

It is an anecdote that has never been seen in the history of the five Lushang Shushi who were taken off their posts and sent to prison at the same time!
As soon as he was about to speak, Liu Bian said with a smile: "Everyone's family is safe. As I said before, those who don't know will not be guilty. Moreover, in the case of the Yuan family, there will be no punishment, and there will be no party imprisonment."

Yang Biao resigned sincerely, Dong Zhuo was half-truthful, and Wang Yun didn't want to at all, and the three got up one by one.

Ding Gong, Liu Hong did not.

The two of them knew very well that Ding Gong's recommendation of Jin Shang's memorial was destined to not last long in the court.

Ding Gong fell on the ground and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, thank you for your forgiveness. I'm old and stupid, and I don't know people well, so I can't share your majesty's worries. I beg to return to my hometown."

Liu Hong's heart was heavy, even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to say, "Please allow your majesty."

Xun You looked at the two, then at Yang Biao, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun, frowning secretly.

Ding Gong and Liu Hong still have a fair heart, but Yang Biao, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun are really hard to say. If these two go, it will be harmful and useless for the court to keep Yang, Dong, and Wang.

"His Majesty,"

Xun You raised his hand and said, "Situ, the two princes of Sikong, are loyal and have made great achievements through hard work. I beg you to stay, to solve the country's difficulties and share your majesty's worries."

"The minister seconded the proposal." Zhong Yao immediately followed.

Tang Mao didn't really care, but he just took up the post of captain of Sili, so he couldn't continue to watch from the sidelines, so he raised his hand and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

Liu Bian glanced at the three of them, then at Dong Zhuo, slowly deliberating in his heart.

What he wanted was not to keep Ding Gong and Liu Hong, but to take the opportunity to stop the Sangong Mansion.

The Sangong Mansion was separated from the Prime Minister's Mansion. There were official offices outside the palace, and there were many officials in the official office.

After the rise of the Shangshutai, the Sangong Mansion gradually became useless. If the Sangong did not record the affairs of the Shangshu, he would have no real power, let alone an official.

To keep it is to keep a bunch of officials big and small who are eating nothing.

'is a good opportunity. '

Liu Bian thought to himself, there must be a step where the two of them are properly agreed to go, and he still understands the rule of three words and three concessions.

Liu Bian remained calm, pretending to be thinking, and waited for Ding Gong, Liu Hong, who insisted on leaving, spoke for the third time.

But the two of them didn't seem to understand the unspoken rules of three words and three concessions, so they stopped talking.
