I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 82 A day in the life of Liu Bian

At dawn, Liu Bian, who was still several years away from turning eighteen, had already left the palace.

This day happened to be the day when he went to Dongguan to listen to Cai Yong's lectures.

Ever since Liu Bian realized from Zheng Xuan that Cai Yong himself was very involved in contemporary books, Liu Bian would learn about things from all over the world from Cai Yong after giving lectures to see if he could share his knowledge with his later generations. The memory matches.

After the lecture this time, he did not say this, but said: "Two days ago, Guanglu Xun and Prince Shaogeng ordered Liu Hong to write that the affairs under the jurisdiction of Guanglu Qing and the Prince Shaofu are increasing day by day, and they may not be able to take care of them both. So I asked the court to A new crown prince is appointed to lead the order, and he will manage the East Palace on behalf of the crown prince and his young master."

There was an episode. Liu Hong was a traditional scholar-bureaucrat. After he took over as the crown prince and led the army, he learned that Jia Xu, Zhao Yun and others from the East Palace had been ordered to follow Jia Cong, the governor of Jizhou, to Jizhou, so he advised Liu Bian. This is against the rules.

Although Liu Bian thought what he said was reasonable, he did not accept his suggestion and recalled Jia Xu and others.

This is probably one of the reasons why Liu Hong resigned as Crown Prince.

Although Liu Hong was old-fashioned, he was not tough. Liu Bian did not agree to recall people, so he stopped calling them. Now Liu Bian is worried that if he doesn't take action, and he is replaced by someone who insists on using the crown prince to gain his reputation, then he is asking for trouble!

Cai Yong was not reserved in front of Liu Bian. After hearing this, he asked: "Does your Highness want me to persuade Kang Cheng to go to the East Palace to perform his duties? No matter how hard it is, I can't persuade him."

Liu Bian shook his head: "Since I promised Master Zheng not to take care of the public affairs, I will not break it. Master Cai is willing to..."

Only then did Cai Yong think of himself, and continued to wave his hand: "Your Highness, it is not my fault. The "Han Ji" is currently being compiled, and I really can't get away."

Cai Yong's rejection was not beyond Liu Bian's expectation. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, it was a result Liu Bian could accept.

He had a backup plan.

Liu Bian added: "Since Master Cai has no time to take over the affairs of the East Palace, I have thought that the former Taiwei Cao Song donated 100 million to the country and solved the country's urgent needs. It would be a pity to be dismissed once. I just don't know whether he intended to become the crown prince. Commander Cai, last time I heard that Master Cai said that his son Cao Cao has literary talent and often borrows books from home, why don't you let Master Cai find out for me?"

Judging from Liu Bian's relationship with Cao Song when he was Sikong, Cao Song was by no means a strong person, and he would not go against Liu Bian even if he was ordered to lead the army, and he also had a king behind Cao Cao.

The only thing that needs to be worried about is whether Cao Cao, one of the eight captains, and Cao Song, the prince, leading the order will arouse the fear of Emperor Ling. However, based on Liu Bian's current judgment, it should not be the case.

To appoint an official in the imperial court, an imperial edict is all you need. Why bother to find out what's going on?

After all, Cai Yong had been an official before, so he didn't understand what this "tongue" meant.

He originally admired Cao Cao. When he mentioned Cao Cao in front of Liu Bian before, he actually hid the intention of introducing him. Now, he agreed directly.

In the afternoon, when Liu Bian came to Yutang Hall, neither Ling Emperor nor Zhang Rang were there, only Xiao Huangmen, who was on duty, was there.

Although Zhang Rang was in charge of the Yutang Hall, eunuchs were also human beings and could neither rest all year round nor be on duty all the time. Liu Bian didn't care.

The official memorial documents from the Chancellor's Desk have been placed on the table, and most of them carry the preliminary opinions given by the Chancellor's Desk.

Liu Bian then ordered Xiao Huangmen to go to the Chancellor's Desk to invite Lu Zhi.

I am proficient in reviewing the memorial books.

The first memorial came from Taiwei Ma Rixi, reporting on the progress of the immigration.

The first batch of more than 100,000 people who went to Yangzhou for food have been resettled in Jiujiang, Wujun, Danyang and other places. After their health recovers, the young and middle-aged people will participate in local water conservancy construction organized by the local government and receive rewards. . Before that, they also needed local supplies for food and accommodation.

Yangzhou and Jingzhou were able to export grain to the north a hundred years ago due to climate change, population increase and other reasons.

In this regard, whether it is Shangshutai or Liu Bian, support is enough.

The second memorial was an impeachment. Henan Yin Yuan Shu impeached the Northern Army Lieutenant He Yong and incited the imperial students to obstruct the public trial.

When Liu Bian was reviewing the second memorial, Zhang Rang came back before Lu Zhi.

Brought a piece of news - Chen Yi died on hunger strike.

After hearing this news, Liu Bian's hand holding the pen paused. From his perspective, Chen Yi deserved to die for his crime, but this way of death... still had some integrity.     The way is different.

He asked Zhang Rang: "Does the emperor know?"

"I just came from His Majesty's place."

Liu Bian continued, and after he finished reviewing, he asked: "Did my father say anything about his death?"

Zhang Rang replied: "Your Majesty never gave any orders."

"Then let Wei Ting handle it!"

Lu Zhi arrived later to assist Liu Bian, so he didn't mention it.

Later in the evening, Liu Bian went to Queen He's place for dinner, and Queen He still invited Tang Wan to sit next to her.

Then Liu Bian thought of Cai Yan, whom he hadn't seen for many days.

Liu Bian is not greedy, he just wants it all.

He must be right!

There is only one position for the future queen.

As for the Han system, the gap between the queen and other concubines was very large. In addition to political treatment, the queen could live alone in Changqiu Palace, but other concubines could only live in Yeting.

Liu Bian decided to leave it until later.

……

That night, as soon as Cao Song returned home, he gloated to Cao Cao and said, "Ah Hao, do you know that He Boqiu and Yuan Shu almost came to blows today?"

But Cao Cao looked preoccupied and did not answer Cao Song's words. Instead, he said: "When Uncle He asked for a good relationship and didn't visit Yuan Gongli, I'm afraid he would have been resented a long time ago. It's not surprising that he made a fuss now."

"It's because of those imperial students who were captured by Yuan Shu..." Cao Song finally came to his senses and asked, "What's on my son's mind?"

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and said, "When I went to Duke Cai's house to return the book later today, I heard Duke Cai mention something."

With that said, he relayed what Cai Yong had passed down from generation to generation.

Cao Song was delighted when he heard this: "I never thought that the turning point would be here!"

Then he smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Ah Ma should have told me the good news when I came in."

Cao Cao said: "I was worried that my father would not be able to sleep at night after hearing the news. At first, I planned to talk about it in the morning."

In fact, Cao Cao thought about it for a long time. During this time, he returned to Luoyang from Youzhou and felt that the biggest change in Luoyang was the appearance of the prince.

He had heard rumors at first that nearly half of the memorials in the Chancellery were reviewed by the prince.

Cao Cao didn't believe it at all at first. The prince was only thirteen years old when he was full of calculations. Even if the prince reviewed it, he would probably let Lu Zhi, the minister, handle it on his behalf.

But when he asked Cao Song about it, he got a positive answer.

The original words are "You will understand when you see the prince one day."

However, he missed the crown prince's canonization. After that, he didn't see the prince attending the court meeting, and he didn't even meet him in person.
