"What?"
"Choose Yuan Ke as Grand Sima, in charge of military affairs, and in charge of ministerial affairs?"
"This kind of power is more noble than the prime minister, ranking above the three princes."
"Lieutenant Zhou, what does he mean by this? How could he openly declare his support for that young boy Yuan Ke?"
"Yuan Ke, why, is he worthy?"
"How can he be the great Sima?"
Many courtiers came forward to criticize Yuan Ke and opposed Yuan Ke's promotion to the rank of Grand Sima and to take charge of the affairs of the Secretariat.
These people brazenly pointed out that Yuan Ke was not worthy of being a Grand Sima, let alone a minister, and that the imperial court should relieve Yuan Ke of his military power and return it to the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say. The suggestion made by the Taiwei just now is not advisable."
"Yuan Ke is young. For him to serve as the chief minister is a slap in the face of our court. It will make the world laugh at us because there is no one available in the court."
"Your Majesty, please take back your order."
Another veteran stood up and openly opposed Lao Ke's appointment as Grand Sima.
Da Si Nong Ma said.
"That's great. Even Mr. Ma has spoken out. It seems that it is impossible for Yuan Ke to serve as Chief Sima."
"Ma said that Mr. Ma is very senior in the court. He stood up to object. Even Yuan Wei and Taiwei Zhou Zhong did not dare to openly challenge him."
"Ma Lao Mighty!"
Many officials started to make noise again.
There was a quarrel and the appointment lasted for more than ten minutes. Yuan Ke did not stand up to argue. He quietly watched the show.
He had just asked the young emperor for the position of Grand Sima, and he was just informing the other party, not caring whether the other party agreed or not, because the knife was in his hand.
As a time-travelling person from modern times, he doesn't care at all about the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules, or the "wrong doctrine" that states that if the emperor lets his ministers die, they will have to die.
He is a real person.
"alright!"
A loud shout came from Yuan Ke, and his words immediately silenced the quarreling court.
"Anyone who objected to my appointment as Grand Sima just now should come forward."
He ignored the little emperor, Zhou Zhong, Yuan Wei and others, and glanced at everyone in the court.
After that, he continued to add another sentence.
"The sword that I just used to kill Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun has not yet been used."
The threat of red light.
Uh-huh!
Uh-huh!
Uh-huh!
At this time, the soldiers standing on both sides began to wave their swords in response to Yuan Ke. They had just heard that these officials were targeting their master, and they were filled with anger. They wished they could chop down all the dog officials in front of them. .
"...."
There was silence for a while, and no one dared to stand up and challenge Yuan Ke's majesty.
Many people started to break into cold sweats.
I started to regret it.
Just now, they all forgot who Yuan Ke was and what he had done. They only thought that Yuan Ke was young, easy to bully, and easy to fool.
But he never thought that Yuan Ke was a ruthless man. Even the arrogant and cruel national thieves Dong Zhuo and Situ Wang Yun died in his hands.
They heard that Wang Yun's entire family had been massacred.
The initiator of everything was Yuan Ke, the [thief general] they had just arranged to suppress.
"Bold Yuan Ke, what do you mean by these words? Are you threatening the officials and His Majesty? Let me tell you, this is the court of the Han Dynasty, not a place for you to run wild."
"Understand?"
Here comes the one who is not afraid of death.
Cao Cao and others all looked at this person. At first glance, they found that this person was Sun Rui, the servant archer. He had just started to impeach Yuan Ke. At this time, he was the first to jump out and openly challenge Yuan Ke.
"Sir, I admire your courage, you have the guts."
"I promise you that after your death, I will bury you properly, and I will also let the Taishi Ling faithfully record your loyal protector in the history books."
"Come here, drag Master Shisun down."
"Cut it."
"Remember, keep your hands and feet clean, don't make Master Shisun's journey painful."
Yuan Ke called for the soldiers.
If they disagreed with each other, they ordered Sun Rui, a so-called loyal minister, to be beheaded in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the young emperor.
This move is called: Killing chickens to scare monkeys.
"Yuan Ke, you, you are so presumptuous, I am your Majesty's minister, you are a little general who seeks treason, why do you have the right to kill your own officers indiscriminately, you are not qualified? Do you want to rebel?"
Shi Sunrui roared loudly.
Yuan Ke ignored him and instead raised his hand to call Cheng Yaojin over.
"Cheng Yaojin, I am ordering you to lead a thousand troops and go and kill Master Sun's whole family. No matter old or young, we will kill them all. Not a single chicken or duck will be spared."
"Understand?"
"promise!"
Cheng Yaojin handed over his hand and accepted the order.
"No, Yuan Ke, you bastard, you can't do this. My family is innocent. I beg you, let them go, kill me, kill me."
Shi Sunrui was also a middle-aged man over forty years old. He was a servant of the imperial court and a senior official. Now he was like a helpless child and began to plead with Yuan Ke.
Yuan Ke understood that if he didn't kill anyone today, it would not be enough to intimidate all the officials and intimidate the emperor.
For this reason, I can only close my eyes.
Let Sun Rui, a soldier, drag him down.
Outside the hall, random swords pierced his body.
"Okay, pass on my order. Soldier Sun Rui and his family will be imprisoned and exiled to Longxi on a certain day as armored slaves."
Just after killing the scholar Sun Rui, Yuan Ke looked at the emperor Liu Xie on the high platform.
"Your Majesty, it has been verified at the end of the investigation that the soldier Sun Rui was a traitor to Dong Zhuo and was just punished by his ministers. Please issue an edict and order the soldier Sun Rui and his family to be exiled to Longxi."
"Yuan Ke, no, Yuan Aiqing, what he said makes sense, I'm sure."
"Come here and prepare an edict."
Liu Xie looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. He had just kept saying that he would fight for the [big Han] and impeach Yuan Ke, but now, everyone was mute.
Although he was young, he immediately understood that Yuan Ke would be the next Dong Zhuo, and perhaps would be ten thousand times more difficult to deal with than Dong Zhuo.
There is no hope for the resurgence of the Han Dynasty.
"promise!"
Officials in Zhongshu Province began to draft the edict. Later, Liu Xie asked someone to get the jade seal and stamp the edict.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Next, Yuan Wei finally started to take action.
"I would like to ask Yuan Ke to be appointed as Grand Sima, in charge of the affairs of the Secretariat, and to be granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an."
"Please make Yuan Ke the Grand Sima!"
"Please make Yuan Ke the Grand Sima!"
...
The officials who had just been neutralized and were dependent on the Yuan family began to take action.
"..."
Lu Zhi, Zhou Zhong and others understood that the situation was over and the rise of the Yuan family in Runan would be irreversible.
"That's right!"
Liu Xie had no choice but to agree.
At this moment, he realized that the aristocratic family was a serious concern for the imperial court.
Nowadays, within the Yuan family, there are Yuan Ke, the Grand Sima, and Yuan Wei, the Grand Tutor. Outside, there are Yuan Shu, the Grand Administrator of Nanyang, and Yuan Shao, the Grand Administrator of Bohai. The Yuan Family of Runan is in full swing.
"The big man is finished."
Cao Cao remained silent and didn't say a word. He knew that he was a man of little words, and no one would pay attention to him as a cavalry captain. A little carelessness could even lead to death.
Seeing Yuan Ke's incomparable majesty just now, he imagined in his heart that in the future he would also be able to dominate the government. Not only could he bring swords and shoes into the palace and participate in political affairs, but he could also point his nose at the noses of the emperor and officials and yell at them. He was so incompetent that he could even kill court officials regardless of the consequences.
This is what a man should do.
"Crack-"
An exquisite tea set was ruthlessly smashed to pieces on the spot.
After the court meeting was over, Liu Xie returned to the inner palace angrily.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty——"
As soon as he arrived at the door of the inner palace, his personal eunuch Xiao Guizi came up to him and stayed with him. Seeing that Liu Xie was angry, he did not dare to persuade him, for fear of getting into trouble and getting slapped.
He had also heard about the court meeting. He had just killed the wolf, the national thief Dong Zhuo, and now, another tiger had come. Liu Xie, the little emperor, felt really aggrieved.
"Yuan Ke, you are a treacherous minister and traitor. You have no superiority and are lawless. You embarrass me in public and force me to submit. I can't spare you."
Liu Xie is eleven years old this year. In two years, he has grown from ignorance to understanding what he is carrying on his shoulders.
The Great Han Dynasty is reviving!
This is his mission.
"Xiao Guizi, you said that I issued a secret edict and asked all the princes in the world to come to serve the king. Will they come?"
Liu Xie asked.
"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Your edicts will be obeyed by the princes everywhere and the people of the world."
When Xiao Guizi heard this, she immediately began to flatter her.
"good!"
"I want to issue a secret edict and call on all the princes to come and attack Yuan Ke, the rebellious minister and thief. However, now that the palace is full of followers of that thief Yuan Ke, how will I send this secret edict out of the palace?"
"At the same time, we also need to find someone who can be used in a big way to take charge of the overall situation?"
Liu Xie murmured to himself.
"Your Majesty, I know someone who may be able to entrust you with important tasks."
Xiao Guizi couldn't help but think of someone.
"who?"
