Liu Bian made the decision in a few words, and after a few more explanations, he let the two of them leave.
Yuan Wei and Liu Yu left Liu Bian's study and returned from Jingfu Hall to the Shangshu Desk next to Jiade Hall.
In the Chancery, Ding Gong, Liu Hong, and Wang Yun were all busy. When they saw the two people coming back, they subconsciously raised their heads to greet them.
Yuan Wei was as usual, expressionless and authoritative. He didn't look at anyone else and silently sat back in his seat.
Liu Yu was half happy and half worried. After sitting down, he glanced at Yuan Wei and said to Ding Gong and others: "Your Majesty has made some decisions. Dong Zhuo will be appointed as the Taiwei in Beijing..."
"No!"
Ding Gong shouted flatly, he didn't know who Dong Zhuo was, he was a tiger and wolf, how could he be given such a high position as a Taiwei?
Liu Yu was interrupted, and seeing the nervous expressions of others, he continued: "Your Majesty has decided that Lu Ziqian will be the shepherd of Bingzhou and lead Liangzhou, Huangfu Yizhen will be the captain of Sili and lead Yanzhou, I will lead Youzhou, and Zhu Gongda will lead Qingzhou. He is also a pastor and leader of Jizhou."
Ding Gong, Liu Hong, and Wang Yun were stunned again and again. One person took over two states, and four people took over seven northern states?
This kind of thing has never happened to a big man!
Liu Yu looked at the stunned expressions of the three people and said quickly: "His Majesty said that due to the current situation, this is a temporary move. When the situation stabilizes, adjustments will be made."
Ding Gong came back to his senses, thought about it calmly, but still felt uneasy, and said: "This arrangement is not impossible, but..."
Liu Hong quickly glanced at the silent Yuan Wei, knowing that this was not simple, and said: "Can Dong Zhuo agree?"
Liu Yu immediately snorted coldly and said: "If you still dare to refuse to obey the imperial edict, then you are a disobedient and should be punished with a large army!"
In Ding Palace, Liu Hong stopped talking and looked solemn.
Most of the army of the Han Dynasty was recruited temporarily, and now it is still running after the Yellow Turban rebels without any skills. Where can there be an army?
In addition, Dong Zhuo rejected the Xiliang Han horses and Qiang people. If a large army were to conquer Dong Zhuo, the northwest would be in chaos, which might be out of control!
Wang Yun was thoughtful and interjected: "Dong Zhuo's troops and horses are to be handed over?"
Liu Yu glanced at him and said, "If he enters the capital, he will definitely hand over his troops."
Wang Yun shook his head subconsciously and said nothing more. In his opinion, soldiers and horses are the foundation for Dong Zhuo's survival. Even if he enters the capital, he will prevent the imperial court from overtly ascending and descending and taking away military power. Otherwise, wouldn't Dong Zhuo be just a piece of meat on the chopping block in Beijing?
Liu Yu noticed Wang Yun's movements and was about to speak but then stopped. If he said this in front of Yuan Wei, it would inevitably reach Dong Zhuo's ears.
He turned to Ding Gong and said: "We still need to make some preparations. I plan to meet Huangfu Yizhen later. The soldiers of the third auxiliary may be available."
Yizhen, the name of Huangfu Song.
As a Taiwei, he was still qualified to have a good talk with Huangfu Song.
Ding Gong thought about it again and again and said, "Lu Ziqian, do you want some ventilation?"
Liu Yu quickly stopped him and said, "That's His Majesty's business, we don't need to get involved."
Liu Hong felt a little strange when he saw that Yuan Wei had not spoken. He changed the subject and said, "What does your majesty say about filling vacancies in the imperial court?"
Liu Yu shook his head and said: "His Majesty said that he still needs to consider it, and has tentatively decided on Zhong Yao and Huang Wan."
Wang Yun's expression moved slightly as he listened, and he thought to himself: "Zhong Yao is a member of Liu Yu, and Huang Wan is a disciple of the Yuan family. What a coincidence?" Should I also go to the palace to meet the saint? '
Yuan Wei heard their discussion, but was indifferent to it.
He was wary of this young majesty to an unprecedented degree!
He originally thought that Liu Bian transferred Dong Zhuo to Beijing because he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would lead his troops to Hedong, but he never thought that Liu Bian had such a grand plan and attempted to control the entire seven northern states!
Before Yuan Wei, he only focused on seizing important positions in the court and ignored the local governors and governors!
Now, His Majesty the young man wanted to capture seven states in one go, which caught him off guard and he couldn't think of a countermeasure for a moment.
'Missed the opportunity...'
Yuan Wei frowned slightly, thinking about how to deal with it.
He could feel Liu Bian's dissatisfaction with him. He didn't care about this dissatisfaction. Emperor Ling was dissatisfied with all the courtiers in the world, and even launched a party to imprison him. What would happen in the end?
At this moment, Wang Yun sorted out a pile of memorials and shouted outside: "Come here and present it to Your Majesty."
Xun You quickly entered the palace, saluted Wang Yun, then picked up the plate and exited the Chancellor's desk.
As the Huangmen Minister, one of the most important responsibilities is to shuttle back and forth between the Chancellor's Desk and the Emperor.
This kind of responsibility has been replaced by the inner chamberlain officer for a long time in the past. Xun You has not been in the forbidden palace for quite some time.
He carried the plate out of the Chancellor's Desk and turned to Jingfu Hall.
Xun You is in his early forties, but he is fat and fair, has a goatee, and has a very elegant temperament.
He was holding the plate, his eyes were straight, his steps were calm, but there was excitement in his heart.
There is a memorial on this plate that belongs to him!
He stayed up all night and carefully wrote out the "Sixteen Strategies for Governing the Country", which was also his first appearance!
Not long after, Xun You arrived at Jingfu Hall, outside Liu Bian's study.
After the inspection at Zhonghuang Gate, he came closer and said loudly: "Xun You, the minister of Huangmen, wants to see your Majesty."
Logically speaking, it would be fine if Huangmen's servant was sent here and handed over to Huangmen.
Liu Bian was sitting on a chair, reading the memorial. Hearing this, his expression changed. He thought about it, sat down with a smile, and said, "Come in."
Xun You held the plate, lowered his head, and approached Liu Bian's desk.
Liu Bian didn't like to sit on his knees, so he sat on a chair. Xun You saw some surprises from the corner of his eye and said calmly: "The memorial table will be compiled for your majesty to read."
Liu Bian hummed, then waited for Pan Yin to hand it over, then stretched out his hand to open it and take a look.
After reading too many memorials, Liu Bian has already figured out the clues. In many memorials, you can guess a general idea from the first few sentences, especially the comments on the affairs of the ministers.
Liu Bian flipped through the pages casually, and soon he saw, "Xun You, the Minister of Huangmen, would like to report that the country's affairs are very difficult and the people's livelihood is in tatters. I hereby present sixteen strategies..."
He calmly raised his eyelids and glanced at Xun You. This man did not leave, but bowed and had a calm face. His fair and round face looked like that of a pampered nobleman.
Liu Bian withdrew his gaze and continued to read the "Sixteen Strategies for Governing the Country".
'The government of the Qing Dynasty eradicated evil and promoted unification, clean up corruption, purge officials, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, invigorate the king's master, regulate the land, and appease the people...'
Liu Bian looked at it silently, thinking in his heart.
Compared to him, Xun You saw things more clearly and got to the point.
However, Liu Bian had other ideas regarding certain methods, and Xun You took things for granted, and underestimated the seriousness of the problems he faced, far from enough.
After a while, Liu Bian put down this memorial, his face still looking thoughtful.
Xun You stood there, feeling nervous in his heart. He didn't know if what he said could attract Liu Bian's attention and make him think highly of him.
After another long while, Liu Bian slowly raised his head, looked at Xun You and said, "In your opinion, how can the Qing family get rid of bad government and unify the government?"
Xun You had already prepared a draft. He raised his hand and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, you should learn from history and distinguish between interests and harms. Strengthening the country will benefit the people, and harming the country and harming the people will be harmful. Since Emperor Huan, eunuchs have harmed the country. , there are many bad policies that must be abolished immediately."
Liu Bian nodded slightly and said, "Unify the government and decree?"
Xun You said: "I believe that the official duties of the imperial court are complicated, the powers and duties are intertwined, and the government affairs are frustrated and the conduct is like a quagmire. It is necessary to clearly demarcate the duties and powers, and to organize the boundaries to coordinate the national affairs, to ensure smooth communication and to respond to national affairs."
These few words touched Liu Bian's heart. He sat up straight and said, "What the Qing family said is in line with my wishes. I will consider removing the Sangong Mansion and expanding the Chancellor's Desk."
Xun You's eyes widened and he opened his mouth, unable to say a word.
