Liu Bian looked at Huangfu Song, smiled, and said: "No courtesy. In addition, the troops and horses in Luoyang City must also be reorganized and enriched. You first allocate some of them to form the Yulin Army. Only the famous Southern Army, I will gradually withdraw the Northern Army, Qimen and the like, leaving only the Yulin Army to guard Luoyang."

Originally, the defense of Luoyang City consisted of three layers inside and three layers outside, including the Southern Army, the Northern Army, Qimen, Yulin, etc.

But now, they have all fallen into disrepair and are just superficial.

In Luoyang City, those who can take advantage of it, namely the Eighth School Lieutenants of Xiyuan, fought with each other and lost most of them during the palace incident in the past few days.

The entire city of Luoyang is actually empty.

Huangfu Song had no objection to this, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, if I reorganize Yu Lin, the Fifth Battalion, etc. in Luoyang City, I am afraid that the general will be dissatisfied."

What Huangfu Song said was all in the hands of He Jin. They were full of children from aristocratic families. They fought hard and showed off their strength. It was OK to bully the people, but in fact they had no fighting ability and were very unbearable.

Should it be based on palace changes or on the Eighth School Captain of Xiyuan?

Liu Bian had already made a plan and said, "I know this. The Qing family will first reorganize the soldiers and horses in the eight passes. I will take care of the things you are worried about."

Huangfu Song's cold and serious face showed a look of excitement, he raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "I accept the decree!"

Liu Bian nodded, glanced at Huangfu Jianchang on the ground who was already grinning, and said: "I had a great time chatting with the Qing family today. The decree will be issued soon. The Qing family can act freely, but I will take care of your family. This Huangfu Jian Sir, please stay here temporarily and I will order the imperial physician to diagnose and treat him."

Huangfu Jianchang's expression changed immediately and his brows tightened, not sure whether it was fear or pain.

Huangfu Song was startled when he heard the words, turned to look at Huangfu Jianchang, and saw that half of his face was moving. He frowned, with anger and hatred on his face. He hesitated to speak, and finally turned to Liu Bian and raised his hand to bow. : "Your Majesty, please punish me severely. There is no need to worry about me. Even if I am beaten to death, I will never complain at all!"

Half of Huangfu Jian's face was deformed and his body was shaking.

Liu Bian smiled and said a few polite words before watching Huangfu Song leave.

After a while, he took out his kneeling legs and sat cross-legged. Then he felt more comfortable. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying: "Your father has noticed it, so there is no need to pretend."

Huangfu Jian's expression was tangled for a while, but he still struggled to sit up on his knees, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, it's really not a villain who robbed a common girl, but her master sold it to me, and I paid two cents. Those who are prepared to take concubines are in compliance with the laws of my Han Dynasty."

Liu Bian said: "You keep this kind of nonsense to lie to your father. Isn't it too much to rob a commoner's daughter, rush into a holy driver, and exile me to Youzhou to guard the border?"

Being exiled to guard the border is tantamount to death!

Huangfu Jianchang's face turned pale, he raised his head in panic, and then he fell to the ground and said urgently: "Your Majesty, this little man, Your Majesty, seeing that my father is loyal and has made great contributions to my great man, please spare me. This time people..."

Liu Bianfu looked at him and said: "Your father also said just now that I will not care if I beat you to death. Furthermore, with your temperament, even if I spare you this time, your father will probably not indulge you anymore." It’s better to just die.”

Huangfu Jian's head was kowtowed to the ground, his body was shaking, and he said: "Your Majesty, the villain must change, the villain must change, the villain must be honest and do his duty, and never do such bastard things again. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me, and please give me some mercy." A chance for people to change their ways..."

"OK,"

When Liu Bian discovered that Huangfu Jian was pretending to be unconscious, he had an idea in his mind and said casually: "I'll give you a chance. Two things. First: Give all the women who were robbed from the house and those who left voluntarily." Let the money go. For those who have been bullied by you before, bring generous gifts and come to apologize. As long as there is one person who does not forgive you, you will still have to guard the border. Second, I want you to "raise wages" in the name of raising money. , raise 100,000 yuan, remember, use an honest method, if it is a cunning method, I will just beat you to death."

When Huangfu Jian saw that Liu Bian was willing to give him a chance, he was naturally overjoyed. The first request was not difficult.

But the second time, he carefully raised his head, looked at Liu Bian and said: "Your Majesty, it's been a month, and the villain's injury hasn't healed yet..."

"Half a month." Liu argued.

"Your Majesty, one month at a time, one month at a time, I will definitely raise one hundred thousand yuan!" Huangfu Jianchang shouted hurriedly.

One hundred thousand min is one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is not a small amount!

In order to annihilate the Yellow Turban Army, his father went everywhere to raise military pay. In more than a month, he only raised less than 50,000 yuan!

"The emperor's words are hard to catch up with."

Liu Bian stood up with a smile and said condescendingly: "In half a month, if you can't raise the money, your father's official position will be gone, and I will guard the border with you."

Huangfu Jianchang's expression changed drastically, and he kowtowed fiercely: "The villain will definitely raise the money! The villain will definitely raise the money!"

He would rather be beaten to death by Liu Bian than to implicate his father.

"Go." Liu argued.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Huangfu Jian's heart beat like a drum, his face turned pale, and he kowtowed repeatedly. Regret suddenly realized that he had to stand up with difficulty, but the injury was a bit serious. He stepped back to the threshold, and then stood up with difficulty. Get up and limp out.

Empress Dowager He walked in at this time, watched Huangfu Jian Chang salute with difficulty, watched him off for a while, walked in and frowned at Liu Bian: "There are many scoundrels from the aristocratic family, but they can't be beaten like this. Then Huangfu Song really has to kill him." .”

Liu Bian said with a smile: "It's good that I didn't kill him. Mother, what did you say to your uncle?"

Queen Mother He's face was still worried, and she said: "Bian'er, tell me, your uncle won't do anything random, right?"

As a younger sister, Queen Mother He still knew He Jin. With this opportunity given by Liu Bian, I'm afraid he doesn't know what big things he will do.

After all, he had even led his troops into the palace to accomplish the coup, what else could He Jin not do?

Liu Bian came over, pushed her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, we are going outside this time. The key is to extract the He family."

Queen Mother He nodded, her face still worried.

After this period of time, she had learned through her mother Wuyang Jun that not only did He Miao give gifts to Zhang Rang and others, but Zhang Rang and others also gave gifts to her mother in turn.

In addition, her sister is the daughter-in-law of Zhang Rang's adopted son.

The He family is too involved with the Twelve Constant Attendants!

In other words, except for He Jin and the Queen Mother He, everyone else is inextricably related to the Twelve Constant Attendants.

Liu Bian also wanted to laugh in his heart. The Twelve Constant Attendants and He Jin were incompatible with each other, but both parties needed each other and were secretly exchanging various interests.

At this time, Pan Yin came back, stood at the door, and quietly gave Liu Bian a look.

Liu Bian turned to Queen Mother He and said: "Queen Mother, I will go see Zhang Rang and the others again, give the list to my uncle, and settle these matters as soon as possible."

Queen Mother He said quickly: "Okay, okay, go quickly, wait, Bian'er, tell me, do you want to invite your uncle to the palace again tonight and explain it to you?"

Liu argued: "Mother, do you think uncle can listen to us?"

Queen Mother He thought for a while and said, "Then you'd better go."

Liu Bian said yes, turned around and went out.

Under the protection of the guards, Liu Bian and his party arrived at the dungeon not far from Fanglin Garden.
