Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 100 Sending an Envoy Again
Last night, Liu Xie slept very restlessly.It was a series of strange dreams over and over again, either dreaming that Diao Chan, who was in troubled times, smiled charmingly at her and relieved Luo Chang; or dreamed that the old man Wang Yun was weaving some big conspiracy in a weird way, like a spider spinning a web; A gloomy old fox had grown nine tails and sneered at him.

For that Diao Chan, Liu Xie had to admit that he had never passed her beauty test.Before Diao Chan left, she took a palace card from Liu Xie, and she could enter and leave the forbidden palace freely as a female official in the palace.

With such a result, it seems that Diao Chan has taken refuge in Liu Xie, but when Liu Xie thinks of the reason why Diao Chan took refuge in him, he can't help but feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty is only 12 years old this year." Diao Chan stood up slowly that night, walked to the window and lifted the veil, and said to a peach blossom that was in full bloom: "And Master Situ is over half a hundred this year, and his body is also intact." Every day is not as good as one day."

Liu Xie didn't understand Diao Chan's meaning at that time, but then Diao Chan turned his head and smiled at Liu Xie: "Your Majesty is so young, he can murder Dong Zhuo outside Chang'an. Although Master Situ seems to be a young man now After all, you can't compete with the sky. Even if your majesty loses this round, as long as you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty, you will have the capital to make a comeback. Although the slaves are short-witted, they can see that the future world, Who will be in charge?"

At that time, Liu Xie's heart suddenly became cold, and there was a faint unspeakable uneasiness.Diao Chan's remarks seem to have no utilitarian considerations, but they have fixed the ending in the long run.This kind of thinking and vision made Liu Xie even more convinced that Diao Chan is the kind of witch who fears the world will not be chaotic.

For such a woman, Liu Xie will never be arrogant enough to conquer her.He understood that he and Diao Chan had a good beginning of cooperation in a short period of time.I just hope that when Diao Chan puts forward her conditions, the price will not be unbearable for Liu Xie.

When it was just a little bit bright, Liu Xie got up and practiced sword in the garden for a while with Yitian sword.Before Leng Shouguang returned, Zhong Yao, the servant of the Huangmen, rushed to the forbidden center with a haggard look on his face.

While the two were eating, Zhong Yao reported to Liu Xie the results of visiting the ministers last night.According to Zhong Yao, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were also ambiguous about Wang Yun's governance.Wang Yun's power is not as great as Liu Xie imagined. The only people dragged into the water by Wang Yun yesterday were Sili Xiaowei Huang Wan, Shang Shupu Archer Sun Rui, Shizhong Zhongji, Huqiang Xiaowei Yang Zan, and Tai Pu. There are only a few people like Lu Kui.

As for the other two members of the Sangong, Wang Yun stayed in the mansion of the Taiwei Ma Rizun the longest, and Ma Rizun even refused Zhong Yao's visit; It is obvious that he does not want to intervene in major political affairs.

But even so, such a force should not be underestimated.A small group with the same idea, together with two important ministers of Pili Yangqiu, is enough to guide the direction of a court meeting.Liu Xie discussed yesterday's plan with Zhong Yao again, and after feeling that there was nothing obvious missing, Shi Shiran walked up to the front hall of Weiyang Palace.

Today's court is not much different from the past, with the same etiquette process and the same ministers.However, under Liu Xie's sharp gaze, he still felt a trace of repressed solemnity.

There is no extra foreshadowing. This time, Situ Wangyun took the lead, took out a roll of imperial edicts written in ink from his sleeve, held it in both hands and handed it to Zhong Yao: "Your Majesty, the matter of the Dong thief's death and punishment, the old minister yesterday. I have put all my efforts into it, and I have asked Shang Shutai to draw up the document, please lower your majesty's eyes." Liu Xie took over the manuscript and read it, and couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart.

This article is written with remarkable literary talent and watertightness. The previous article used a lot of pen and ink to exaggerate the incident of Dong thief's rampage in Chang'an, and in the middle it wrote about Dong Zhuo's great fortune for the Han Dynasty in an objective and fair manner.It's a pity that no matter how gorgeous the article is, it can't hide the intention of making a fool of yourself.

In fact, Liu Xie could tell at a glance that his contribution in killing Dong Zhuo was deliberately ignored in this document.Among them, there must be Wang Yun's worries about being the master of killing today, but at the same time, he erased all his achievements, but he also revealed more or less scruples about Liu Xie.

In the last part of the document, it is naturally written about the court's handling of Dong Zhuo's execution.Liu Xie took a closer look, and there were some proposals that he didn't expect.But more, it was a ridiculous suggestion that he simply could not accept.For example, there is no mention of the canonization of Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi in the document, but the three were included in the ranks of the court's sympathetic veterans, and they were awarded the titles of General Zuo Dajiang, Doctor Guanglu, and Yushi Zhongcheng. job.

The master craftsman will be one of the ministers, and he will be in charge of repairing ancestral temples, palaces, and cemeteries.This position is easy to make political achievements, and it is generally used as a transition for promotion; Dr. Guanglu is not even a minister, and he is in charge of the affairs of the advisers in the court; Zhang Zou, picket all officials.In the middle of the court, he also sat in a special seat with Sili Xiaowei and Shang Shuling, and was called the "three independent seats" of the capital.However, Emperor Ling had abolished the prefect system and reformed Lizhou Mu, and the power of picketing alone seemed extremely vague.

These three positions are not unreasonable for ordinary scholar-officials.But it seems too stingy to get Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi.In particular, these three positions are just false positions without real power, which made Liu Xie frown.In his discussion with Zhong Yao, in order to take into account the face of the three big brothers, Wang Yun would give a Wei Wei, Jin Wu and other empty military powers, but at least supervise the official positions of the imperial guards, but Wang Yun did not expect He was actually afraid that the warriors would take power again, so he abandoned these three pillars of the sky.

As for Cai Yong and Xu Rong, Wang Yun didn't even bother to spend pen and ink. He only summed it up with a murderous word 'cut', which can't be called scheming.As for Liu Xie's most concerned matter about the tribes in Liangzhou outside the Guan, Wang Yun didn't even mention a word, which really made Liu Xie see the cowardice and self-deception of "covering one's ears and stealing one's bell".

In the last paragraph of the document, Wang Yun suggested that the imperial court send envoys to appease the Kanto, and ordered the heroes of the Kanto to send envoys to the pilgrimage, hoping that the Han Dynasty would be unified as simply as the Han Dynasty, and the famous scholars and bureaucrats would be ranked in the court, and the Han dynasty would be returned to the Han Dynasty. The room is bright and sunny, creating another 400-year prosperous foundation.

After Liu Xie finished reading this document, he would no longer change his color and refute it like yesterday.In matters of political games, when it is time to be strong, we must be tough.But if you continue to be tough, it will only make people see the incompetence behind your sternness.Therefore, Liu Xie quietly put the document aside, and asked Wang Yun with great interest: "Wang Situ, I don't know how to send envoys to appease the Guandong. Is there anyone in Situ's mind?"

"Servant Zhang Zhong, who understands righteousness and is unparalleled in eloquence, can take on important responsibilities." Wang Yun replied respectfully with a wat in his hand, no emotion could be seen on his plain face.

Liu Xie nodded slightly, the servant was an official of the Shaofu with a rank of two thousand stones, if he put on a false appearance, he would be qualified to go on an envoy to appease the Guandong.However, things cannot be viewed in this way alone. Before Dong Zhuo sent five people from Jiuqing Lieqing to appease Guandong, the rank standard was much higher than that of a servant.But it turned out that only one Dahonglu, Han Rong, was spared from death because of his greater fame, and the other four died at the hands of the heroes of the Kanto.With such lessons learned, it is worth pondering Wang Yun's intention to send a servant to appease Guandong this time.

First of all, Wang Yun no longer sent envoys to the Guandong with great fanfare. On the one hand, he was worried that the envoys would be intercepted by the Liangzhou tribes outside the Guanzhong if they could not leave the Guanzhong.But on the other hand, it can also be seen that he wants to send a clear message to the heroes of the Kanto.That is, the imperial court is now in power by scholars, and it is no longer the court under the control of Dong Zhuo who does not know the etiquette and rules. It is the right way for you to quickly submit to the table after recognizing the situation.

Such a move seemed like a joke in Liu Xie's eyes.Wang Yun obviously hadn't grasped the thoughts of the Kwantung heroes, thinking that they really only opposed Dong Zhuo, a butcher who was dubbed a "rebellious official".But in fact, the Kwantung heroes at this time had already become selfish warlords seeking power.No matter who the DPRK sends as envoys, it can only be the result of never returning.

In history, this Zhang Zhong is indeed gone forever, "Book of the Later Han Dynasty?"Xiaoxian Emperor Ji" records: Xia Siyue Xinsi, Zhu Dong Zhuo, and the Yi tribe.Situ Wang Yun recorded the affairs of the minister and was in charge of the government. He sent an envoy Zhang Zhong to comfort Shandong in order to contact the Guandong scholars and assist the government.

However, after Zhang Zhong left, there was no news, and there was no record in the history books since then.The scholars of the Chang'an court waited hard with such wishful thinking and stupid ideas.But more than ten days later, what they waited for was not the righteous soldiers of the Kwantung scholar King Qin, but the Liangzhou rebels who killed the sky and covered the sky...
