Chapter 71

"The prefects of the counties are really powerful. There are no refugees under the rule. If you want to ask where the refugees have gone, they all rush to Linjun..." Lu Zhi went home from the Yamen, and he heard someone singing on the way, so he couldn't help but stop the coachman.

When I opened the curtain of the car and looked out, I found that not one or two people were singing, but a large number of refugees were singing.

Even some children in Luoyang probably found it interesting and learned it.

He couldn't calm down until he heard that "the refugees are suffering, the refugees are suffering, the land is full of hunger and no one is picking them up, and the wine and meat are smelly among the wealthy families."

If it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be a second Yellow Turban-level turmoil.

"Lu Shangshu!" Not long after, there was a rider coming up behind him, it was Huang Menlang from the palace, "Your Majesty has delivered an order, and all officials will go to court!"

The Great Court Meeting is basically once every ten days, that is, there are only three Great Court Meetings in a month.

As for normal times, the emperor's side hall handles government affairs, and the Sangong and Jiuqing work in Nangong.

If the emperor had something to do temporarily, at most he would summon some people to ask in the side hall.

To the extent of holding a grand court meeting directly, the matter is afraid that it will become a big mess.

Immediately ordered to turn around, the car headed towards the palace again.

On the way back, I saw the people holding Jinwu in action, and at the same time, the people from the Northern Army began to guard around the palace.

When he came to the gate of Nangong, he picked up the wat board beside him, and at the same time showed the amulet to the soldiers on duty, and then he entered the palace smoothly.

Above the main hall, there were already many officials waiting here, all of them were called back by Emperor Han before the Xia Ya had time to leave.

"Everyone!" Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty came out of the back hall and lay on his side in the upper part, as if Ge You was lying down. "Who has heard of the nursery rhymes that are sung everywhere outside?"

Have you heard of it, or have you heard of it inexplicably.

Even Lu Zhi heard it by accident when he went back. When he went to court today, there was no such nursery rhyme.

That is to say, the refugees did not begin to sing this nursery rhyme until they entered Luoyang at least after Chenshi.

"Just one word... the nursery rhyme is sung, is it true?" Liu Hong looked at the officials coldly.

You claim to be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and love the people like your sons. Is this how you treat the people of the big man and help me manage the world?

"Your Majesty, the nursery rhyme appeared very abruptly, and its authenticity cannot be tested." Cui Lie, who had just become Situ, came forward, "There may be people with ulterior motives who intend to stir up trouble, and they should be strictly investigated!"

"Tell me, if there is no such thing, why are so many refugees scrambling to sing first? The people behind the scenes can buy ten or eight refugees, how can it be possible for thousands of refugees to sing together?" Seeing Cui Lie coming out, Liu Hong was angry.

This guy followed the path of Mrs. Fu Mucheng and only spent 500 million yuan to buy Situ's position.

At that time, I thought it was one of my own, but it turned out that this guy was closer to scholars. How could Liu Hong bear it?

It wasn't my own people who said earlier that this Situ was sold for 1000 million yuan!

I lost 500 million yuan in this transaction!
That is to say, he has been doing business with his mother since he was a child. Liu Hong knows very well that if there is no truth to the words, it is impossible for the people to spread rumors so fast and spread so widely.

Especially the refugees, who can't even eat enough, in order to save some energy, they can stop talking if they can't, and don't move if they can.

It's been sung like this all day long, it's a life-threatening song!

"Nowadays, there are a large number of yellow scarves resurgent in various places. I didn't pay much attention to it before, so I can't help but ask you now." Liu Hong roared, "Could it be that the local prefects were incompetent and tried to pass the buck to each other, causing the refugees to riot?"

What can the ministers say, blame all the crimes on the eunuchs?

After all, there are indeed people in the eunuch party who serve as prefects and governors in the local area.

But this matter is not quite right. If there is a problem under the administration of an official from a scholar background, it will become a means for His Majesty to counterattack.

"Your Majesty, for the current plan, we must first appease the refugees in Luoyang, and then deal with other things." Lu Zhi stepped forward, "At the same time, slowly investigate the past. If this situation exists in the local area, we should order the local prefect to settle the refugees, and the local governor to supervise them."

The governor at the end of the Han Dynasty seemed to be the chief official of a state. Apart from having no military power, he already controlled the government affairs of a state.

But in name, the governor is the governor, responsible for supervisory duties, and his status is not even as good as the prefect.

No matter what the reality is, everyone can't talk nonsense on the official level, otherwise it will become a handle.

"Investigate, thoroughly investigate this matter!" Liu Hong waved his hand, "I want to know who spread this nursery rhyme and whether it really happened. In any county where this happens, the prefect will be dismissed immediately!"

As for whether there is any wrongdoing, there probably will be, but without a prefect, you can sell an official position, a business that can make a profit without losing money!
The decree may not be able to leave Luoyang, so what does it have to do with him if the world is chaotic?
Even if I don't do anything, all the suffering will be blamed on myself in the end...

The ministers left the palace with different expressions. The scandals in the states and counties below have been exposed to the world. Even if His Majesty does not pursue it, they still need to give an explanation to the people below.

There is nothing to explain. Those who have problems are eunuchs, and they must be eunuchs!
There can be no problems with the decent image of scholars, otherwise how can we use righteousness to crusade against eunuchs in the future?

A few days later, in the Yuan Mansion in Luoyang.

Yuan Kai, who is currently in the position of Taifu, looked at the scholar in front of him and asked, "Ziyuan, tell me what's going on."

The scholar's name is Xu You, and he is an old official of the Yuan family, or rather a close friend of the Yuan family.

From the beginning of its opening, it has been dedicated to running around for the Yuan family, doing some shameful things.

It wasn't until Yuan Shao grew up a few years ago that Yuan Shao was gradually allowed to take over.

The leader of the second generation of the Yuan family has been determined to be Yuan Ji, and Yuan Shu has also received certain resources. The two of them cooperate with each other.

Yuan Shao was adopted by Yuan Cheng, from direct lineage to collateral lineage, gradually serving the family in public opinion, reputation and other aspects in recent years.

In terms of ability, Yuan Shao is better than Yuan Shu, but he is a concubine.

"Although the other party spread nursery rhymes everywhere, but after a slow investigation, we found that the nursery rhymes were first spread from Jizhou, Zhongshan or Hejian counties. Judging from the current information, Hejian Prime Minister Liu Bei is the most suspected." Xu You replied.

"Ziyuan is still so outstanding." Yuan Kai nodded.

"Where is there, Yuan's disciples and old officials are all over the world. If it weren't for this connection, the students would not be able to find out." Xu You is modest.

This is not wrong, it is because Yuan's disciples and old officials are all over the world that they can gather news from all over the world.

Xu You only needs to know when the nursery rhymes under their rule came out. According to the timeline, everything points to Hejian Kingdom in the end.

I have to say that Zhang He's strategy is indeed effective. The problem is that he didn't expect Liu Bei to be so upright, so he let people spread out a little bit.

As long as you find the time law of the spread, it is not so difficult to find the original place where the nursery rhyme was spread.

"Is it a matter of the Reclamation Corps? The surrounding counties are indeed a little too much." Yuan Kai said casually.

Although it can be regarded as a commonly used method in officialdom, tens of thousands of 10,000+ refugees are pushed by the county.

If Liu Bei could do that, this silly boy would accept all of them.

But if he is stupid, he is not, can a fool use this trick?
If it weren't for Yuan's disciples and old officials all over the world, ordinary people would never be able to find out the source of the news.

It's useless even if you know, this is a conspiracy.

"The benevolence of a woman is nothing to worry about. It's just that this son has risen very quickly, so he must be suppressed..." Yuan Wei thoughtfully.

"Liangzhou, how about it?" Xu You suggested, "Or, send an assassin to kill him!"

"Why can't we come together?" Yuan Kai asked back.

"Students understand!" Xu You nodded.

 The Luoyang Imperial Palace is divided into the South Palace and the North Palace. In fact, it is the same as the local government office.

  The Beigong is the harem, that is, the harem, which is why no one can break into the harem.It's fine for an official to go to the palace and enter the Nangong, but what's the point of you breaking into the house of the harem?
  At the same time, there is the East Garden, which is the place where the tomb objects of the royal family are made, and the golden robes of the Han Dynasty are made here.This is why Liu Hong opened the West Garden instead of the East Garden.

  Speaking of it, after checking it, Sangong is worth 1000 million yuan, and there is also a saying that it is 2000 million yuan.But the local prefect is [-] million yuan, which should be correct.The real power prefect seems to be more valuable than Sangong.

  Also, Liu Hong began to upgrade the functions of Shangshutai, so that Shangshutai can handle the affairs of the Sangong and Jiuqing.That is to say, in theory, whether or not to have the San Gong Jiu Qing is not a big problem.

  This is also the source of the system of three provinces and six ministries, and the emergence of any system can be traced.

  Yuan Ji is the eldest son of Yuan Fengdi and the older brother of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he was an official to a servant, and he was already a Jiuqing, and he was already the intended second-generation heir.If it wasn't for being killed by Dong Zhuo later, nothing would happen to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

  Yuan Shao was adopted by Yuan Cheng, although he was counted as a descendant, it was a collateral line.Before going to the Bohai prefect, he was wandering for the Yuan family.Needless to say, Xu You, Wang Fen assassinated Emperor Ling and he took the initiative to contact him.

  So the setting is Yuan's black glove, and Yuan Shao has also taken over some affairs in this area in recent years.
