Jingfu Hall.
Liu Bian sat at his desk, holding all the Taixue materials in his hands and looking at them carefully.
While watching, I was thinking in my mind.
The Imperial Academy was filled with children from aristocratic families, and there were almost no ordinary people.
We must give the common people a chance to slowly break the aristocratic family's all-round monopoly on the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bian looked for a long time, trying to find a suitable Taixue who was born as a commoner to offer wine. After searching for a long time, he didn't find one!
"The world of scholar-bureaucrats..."
Liu Bian frowned and said to himself, the nobles controlled all aspects of the Han Dynasty.
He wanted to tear open a hole, it was too difficult!
Liu Bian read through it slowly, with thoughts running through his mind.
Zuo Li stood beside him, lowering his head respectfully, with a look of fear and uneasiness on his snow-white face.
For a while, Liu Bian remained motionless and said calmly: "Li Su, just be Li Su. You can't escape in the capital. If you can't find the money, just look for it slowly. If you can't catch Yuan Shu, find a way to continue to catch him. Don't leave at night." , I will teach you some ways to spy on the news."
Zuo Li trembled, his eyes drooped, his face tightened, and he whispered softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this time, Pan Yin quietly walked in from outside, glanced at Zuo Li from the corner of his eye, handed over a memorial, and said: "Your Majesty, this is a memorial from the Great Sinong Mansion."
Liu Bian did not answer it and continued to look at his hand and said, "What's the content?"
Pan Yin bowed and said: "Returning to your majesty, the memorial says that the summer tax is coming soon, and there are many complicated matters. It may not be completely handed over to the minister's desk for a while. Please allow your majesty some time to wait until everything is settled before handing over the authority."
"reason enough,"
Liu Bian said expressionlessly: "But I don't accept it. Order the corresponding officials of the Dasinong Mansion to temporarily transfer the civil servants to work, and then move out."
When Pan Yin heard this, he paused and said, "Your Majesty, Shangshu Xun is in Dahonglu, and all the servants are a little unhappy. Shangshu He was rejected at Dasinong Mansion, and then went to Yuan's house and was kicked out."
The corners of Liu Bian's eyes twitched subconsciously, and he turned to look at the dim sky outside the door. Anger welled up in his heart, and he said calmly: "It's useless to just talk... If you don't want to live a good life, then don't live it at all. According to the decree, all the ministers and chief ministers who have recorded the affairs of the ministers should come here, and Yuan Wei will carry them here, plus Yuan Ji, and the chief minister Huang Wan."
Pan Yin felt nervous and said, "Yes."
Liu Bian looked outside for a while, then waved Zuo Li over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Zuo Li carefully waited for Liu Bian to finish speaking, then turned around and left.
…
Not long after, at Ding Palace in Shangshutai, Liu Hong, Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others arrived first.
They stood in the study, looking at Liu Bian who was silent at his desk, looked at each other, and stood silently.
After a while, Huangfu Song and Yuan Ji arrived one after another.
The two of them saw the quiet study room, and after greeting each other, they stood in order.
Then came Yuan Wei, who arrived belatedly. He walked in step by step on crutches. His skinny face was expressionless and his eyes were sunken, both quiet and sharp.
Yuan Wei met everyone's sideways glances, saluted Liu Bian and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Wei, see you."
Liu Bian, who had been concentrating all the time, suddenly raised his head with a smile on his face, looked at the people in front of him, stood up and walked out and said: "Without courtesy, I invite you to come here at this time. There are two things to discuss. Come, Everybody sit down.”
He came out and sat down at a small table not far away. Pan Yin ordered people to prepare cushions and a small table and place them in front of Liu Bian.
Everyone present was puzzled, but they unanimously did not open their mouths. They thanked each other and sat down.
Pan Yin served the tea and then whispered: "Your Majesty, it's raining outside."
Liu Bian hummed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He ignored the probing looks of everyone and said with a smile: "The first thing is that Huangfu Qing's family has been promoted to Grand Sima, Prime Minister of Military Affairs, and he can no longer concurrently serve as Sili Xiaowei. With Yanzhou Mu. In addition to Si Li temporarily staying in office, we also need a Yanzhou Mu. Who do you think can take over?"
When Ding Gong, Liu Hong and others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. They had never considered this issue before and were thinking about the candidates in their hearts.
Wang Yun and Yang Biao lowered their heads, thinking. They all know that they have no place to speak here.
Yuan Ji looked unmoved and felt anxious. They had already suffered too much losses before. This Yanzhou is right next to Sili. Its strategic position is very important and we must fight for it!
Seeing that his uncle Yuan Wei was silent not far away, he took a deep breath, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Jin Shang, the governor of Yanzhou, is a kind-hearted man and is kind to the people, so he can be the state pastor."
Liu Bian smiled and said, "It's a candidate. Where are the other Qing families?"
Seeing Yuan Ji speak, Ding Gong rushed to say: "Your Majesty, I believe that the former Taiwei Ma Rixi is a suitable candidate for his civil and military service, loyalty and steadfastness."
Liu Bian thought for a while and said, "It's a candidate, are there any others?"
Yuan Wei remained silent and lowered his eyes, staring at Liu Bian's hand stroking the jade pendant on his leg, his eyes flashing slightly.
Wang Yun endured it for a long time, knowing that his words were useless, but he still said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the former Taiwei Zhang Wen is brave and fearless, and he has worked hard to quell the chaos, so he can be reinstated as the shepherd of Yanzhou."
Liu Bian looked deeply at Wang Yun, reached out to pick up the tea cup, and said with a smile: "What Wang Qing's family said makes sense."
In Ding Palace, Liu Hong saw Liu Bian's reaction and immediately understood. He raised his hand and said, "I second my opinion."
As long as it's not the Yuan family, that's fine.
Before the two of them finished speaking, Yang Biao was suddenly shocked and said immediately: "I second the proposal!"
Zhang Wen is Huangfu Song's old superior, so he naturally has no objection and said: "I second the proposal."
Yuan Ji didn't expect that the situation would change in an instant. He frowned secretly, feeling anxious and looking at Yuan Wei's back.
Jin Shang is a member of their Yuan family. They arranged for Jin Shang to serve as the governor of Yanzhou, with the intention of helping him become the governor of Yanzhou!
At this time, the sound of hurried feet on the water was heard outside, and Huang Wan rushed over in the rain.
When he arrived at the atrium, still more than ten steps away from Liu Bian's study, he was stopped by Zuo Li.
Zuo Li showed his snow-white teeth and said with a smile: "Da Sinong, Your Majesty is discussing matters with the princes. Please wait a moment."
Huang Wan was startled, holding an umbrella, looking at the rain getting heavier and heavier, and said, "Can you let me take shelter under the eaves for a while?"
Zuo Li's smile slowly turned cold, his eyes were sinister.
Huang Wan was shocked, his lips moved and he was speechless.
Zuo Li lost his expression and stared at Huang Wan for a while, then turned around and walked under the eaves, his expression indifferent, his eyes like poisonous snakes looking at Huang Wan.
Huang Wan still didn't know what was going on. His heart felt cold. He straightened his face and frowned. He held an umbrella in one hand and stood alone in the heavy rain.
Huang Wan's arrival did not affect the study room. In the silence, Yuan Wei suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Zhang Wen's position as Taiwei was purchased with 30 million yuan and the eunuch party."
Liu Bian had been on guard against Yuan Wei. When he saw him speaking, he looked at him and said slowly: "Yuan Qing's family, Zhang Wen is an important official in the imperial court. There is no evidence, so you can't say such things nonsense."
Yuan Wei bowed and said: "Such rumors have spread all over the world. As for whether they are true or false, I don't know. However, if Zhang Wen came here to bribe an official, it may be exposed after his return, which may damage his saintliness."
Ding Gong, Liu Hong and others looked at each other with hesitant expressions.
Although he knew that Yuan Wei's purpose was to prevent Zhang Wen from rising as a shepherd of Yanzhou, his words did make sense.
If the bribery of officials and eunuchs comes to light after Zhang Wen is resurrected, the prestige and face of the imperial court and His Majesty will be trampled to the ground!
